CHARTERED SHIPS WILL NOT DO, IT IS; ASSERTED No Time Should Be Lost in Establishing Line; Great Trade Prospect. If Portland is to keep Its trade with the orien, It must have steamsTilp lines. They are not a luxury In the caee of this city, but an absolut necessity. This Is the opinion, candidly given this morn ing, of L. H. McMurtrie, a prominent New York, shipper, who 16 years ago built the shipbuilding plant of Moran Brothers at Seattle, and was for four years Its superintendent. Mr. McMurtrle's experience has been very wide, and he is regarded as. an authority on matters ' pertaining " to steamships, shipping -and foreign trade. For this reason his views carry unusual weight. "Portland's weat point Is Its lack of steamship jJLeaJd Mr. McMur trie at the Po'rj.' hotel. "That Is how the sltuatfuli appears to me. It has been 12 years since 1 was Inst In Portland, and I have been amazed at the wonderful strides made by your city, but in this one particular I see that no advance has been made. Steamship Unes TltsJ Need. "Portland Is a seaport town, and ns a distributing center It Is essential that It have regular established steamship lines. It must have them to retain Its commercial prestige and remain a dis tributing center. Steamship lines are as vital to this port as railroads, and I am saying this with due consldera-, tion. "The line to the orient should be but a beginning, but by all means .get that now. Before any steamship line is established of course it is necessary that there be the business to sustain it. Portland, however, already has that and by Judicious management therft should I never b any trottble-alKmt-hftvtnff-full cargoes for every trip. But if such a line Is not established, and established before other ports get all the business away, Portland will not only lone its present business, but its prospects for ! future trade as well. Zilne Must Be Begnlar. "Such a line must be a regular line too. Steamers chartered from time to lime, will not do. Chartered steamers are suicidal to building up trade relations There must be a regular line on a reg- uTar schedule that "Is kept so that ship pers at both ends may be able to depend absolutely on the vessels and their tlmo of call. A steamer that one trip goes from Portland to China, tho next one from Portlnnd to Jnran. the next from Portland to Houth America, It will readily be seen, cannot have any regular I trade. It Is the ro'sular trade that must be taken care of. Once establish trnde of this kind and there will be no diffi culty about keeping your steamers full. "Then again, where vessels are char tered from time to time to fill the need pt the shippers, these shippers (Continued, on page ti. BREAK ALL RECORDS! tmmrww . .

When It Is re called that an entire week of July was but little better than a holiday from a business standpoint, the big gain made over July one year ago Is conclusive proof that Portland and the Oregon country are developing and growing as never before.
