:1 CRAIGHALL
f TRIP ACROSS PACIFIC
Craft -Is . but 23 Days From
Moji; Wheat and FlcurShip-
- merits This Month Large.
Making a good voyage across the Pa
,'clfiq for this time of tlie year, tUe Brit
i ish steamer Craighall. Captain Stephen
. son, reached Astoria at 6 o'clock last
; night, after a passage of 28 days from
' MoJI. She came up here to load a full
cargo, of flour for the orient, vundor
'charter to the Portland Flouring Mills
. company,
r At this time of trie year heavy
" weather, fogs and snow are not con
ducive to fast running, so there was
some comment In marine circles last
'' night on the Craighall's voyage of 23
days from the Japanese port She Is
known here, having loaded at this port
on other occasions.
The cargo to be taken out by the
Craighall will materially swell the
" month's shipments of that commodity
' as she will Rail from here with a full
cargo of T 0.000 barrels. This will all be
' taken at the docks of the Portland
, Flouring Mills company.
This month will run far ahead of Iat
month In flour shipment and is already
far ahead of the same month last year.
This is not only true of flour, but of
other commodities, as there will be
enough wheat and lumber carriers to
leave before the end of the month to
bring the totals of these shipments
, above those of last month.
: With the cargo of the Craighall there
will be at least 120,261 barrels of flour
from this pert during the month, while
last month there rwere but 74,562 bar
, rels ahipped. For December, 1912, there
were but 9000 barrels shipped. Wfcent
shipped last month amounted to 808,92 7
bushels, while this month there are
about 1,200.000 bushels in sight.
The British steamer Buena Ventura
t alone will take out about 140.000 bush
els of wheat and there are several wind
jammers that will probably finish. The
Craighall will undoubtedly be the last
steamer to take flour out this year.- -
LONGSHOREMEN ARB BUSY LOT
Influx of Offshore Craft Causes a
fl Heavy Demand for Labor.
v5- There seem to be no lack of work

charging or loading of coasters and ves-
eels of the offshore fleet now In port
' Four gangs will start on the British

mille this morning to give her quick
dispatch, and in order that-everything

Made to President, '
(TVaahlntton Burean of The JonrnaH
Washington. Dec. 20. Senators Cham.
borluiii and Lane have agreed in rec
ommending candidates for appointment
us poutmaster to Tillamook, Dallas and
Arlington. Whilo they have agreed not
to make known their action In advance
of action by the president, the in
dorsements the various candidates have
secured at home are prettyfwelj known,
and they may throw some light On the
situation and enabje observers of polit
ical matters to make shewd guesses at
the successful candidates. ?
At Dallas, Eugene Hayter is a broth
er of the chairman of , the county Demo
cratlc committee, Oscar Hayter, who
has been backing his brother. On the
other hand, V. P. Plske is editor of the
Polk County Itemfaer, which supported
Mlon, and he has considerable good
influence. At Arlington, two ladles,
Mrs. dough and Mies Irby, are active
candidates, and the fact that women
have the ballot in Oregon helps their
cause; but, on the other hand, Charles
H. Morris has the backing of all the
city officials and the Democratic or
ganization. At Tillamook, W. F. Barry, the pres.
ent postmaster, has made a hard fight,
and even has some Democratic banking,
but P. W. Todd lias the indorsement ot
the county committee. Other candi
dates, including B. D. Iamar, have
strong Democratic backing, but it is
doubtful If they can overcome the In
fluence of the committee.
It Is uncertain when the department
will take action on these appointments.
DELIRIOUS MAN IS
RESCUED FROM CREEK
Delirious as the result of recent 111
nens, J. E. Croman, a timber, expert who
disappeared Thursday, was found
splashing around in a creek at Houlton
Friday night and taken care of by John
Marshall of that place. W. A. and H.
D. Langllle went to Houlton yesterday
and brought him back to Portland and
they say that, except for being a little
the worse for the exposure and his, long
tramp, he is not in a serious condition
and will be all right In a few days.
Croman had been ill for several days
as the result of overwork on a new log
ging invention, and Thursday he wan
dered away from Portland in a delirious
condition and walked as far as Houlton,
when he was found and his friends notified.

FIRE DRILL IS HELD
BY THE HELLO GIRLS
Alarm Bell Rings and lassies
March Jo! Stairs,
If you tried in vain to get Central
over the Belt phone at 8;35 o'clock yes
terday morning,, and for two minutes
and 39 seconds thereafter, you may bs
interested to learn ths delay was oc
casioned by a -fire drill in every Bell
exchange in the city. .
During tbls two minutes and 80 sec
onds not a call was answered or a
connection made. Tha time lost was a
contribution by the public of Portland
to ths efficiency of the telephone serv
ice and "the safeguarding of the lives
of telephone operatives who work In ths
public Interest.
When the alarm bell rang for 10
seconds promptly at 8:85 o'clock every
sweetvolced Hello girl left her switch
board and marched down th atatrs of
her exchange into the Street. Kach chief
operator stepped to the head of , the
stairs to supervise the exodus of the
employes, each crew of elffht girls be
ing in-charge of a supervisor.
While the female contingent rushed
to safety the wire chief, and the switch
board men and rack men took their
places by the fire fighting apparatus
with stations at the exits and windows.
The moment the alarm was rung every
exit wss immediately opened, and under
the. system of perfect discipline every
operative was in the street except those
fighting the fire long before the fire
department could arrive.
"It Is planned to hold these fire drills
two or three times a month," said Man
ager Fred Spoerl, . "and ueh time will
be selected when there is least traffic.
The tune of drill Is usually about two
minutes, .and while tt may Inconven
ience 'some of our subscribers at this
time who do not know that a drill Is
hi progress, on account of our usual
answering time being less than four
seconds, yet, thts is offset by the know
ledge that in case of fire no lives would
be lost and property no doubt saved
due to these organised fire drills."
.Christmas Exercises.
Christmas exercises In the Park Rose
Union church at the corner of the Sandy
