At a special meeting of the Port of Portland commission held this morn- ins; the bids received for the repairs to the river steamer Pronto were opened and the contract awarded the St. Johns Shipbuilding; company. Work is to be started on the steamer this afternoon. The Bt. Johns firm agreed' to do the work for $1296. 'Joseph Supple for $1670 and the Portland Ship yards for S16Z5. ALONG THE WATERFRONT A rats war, promising to be' the most bitter thm has ever been fought out on.' the, Columbia end Willamette rivers, was 'finned to fever heat this morning with the cutting of the rate to Astoria to 60 cents by tne vsncou ycr Transportation Company, operat ing the steamers I.urllne and Undine on the run. The "War really commenced with the placing of the steamer Oeorglana on the Astoria run by the llarklns Trans portation company. At that time reduction' of -SO cents was mads on the on -way; fare, bringing the one way raUs to SI. whereas for years the xlritmera of the O.-W. It. & N. com jiany and the Vancouver Transporta tlon company have held to a fare of; $1.60. The Ocorglana. new pro peller boat recently completed, was placed on the run to handle the pas acngf r business alor.c - and with her advent trouble commenced. The movs made by the Kamm inter ests this morning in slicing the rate3 In half leaves further developments to be expected. All eyes on the water front era now focused on Captain Iios ford of the llarkins Transportation company, to see what his move will be. That the battle lias not been one of rates alone, but also of speed on the river, Is shown in the reports ot tiin harbor . police. On one evening last week the Undine was reported by the officer on watch as making the run from the Portland "Flouring mills to the Broadway bridge In It min utes, and the (Jeorglana In 116, the limit allowed for the vessels being 12'j minutes. Hotli masters were warned not to repeat. No further speeding has been reported. .Saturday morning, the L.urline, by a . clever bit of Jockeying on the part of Iter master, gavo her companion n earner a good start on the run. With tho usual number of 7 o'clock Ballings, (ho Undine got off to a slight lead. As the Georgians got away from the dock, tho l.urline came up the west side of the river close in to the wharves. So close to the stern of the steamer Ta ho ma, moored at Oak street, did she ome that the Georgiana, just depart ing, was forced to coma to a dead stop and wait for. the competing steamer to pass. The Undine, by that time, was well down the river. Other brushes have been had In the lower harbor, honors of which are said to have been about even. Under charter to M. H. Hounsr, the German bark Dalbek arrived this morn ing from Santa Rosalia. She made the run in 61 days. A Port of Portland tugboat will bring her up the river tomorrow. Carrying 1,100,000 feet of lumber, the steamer Daisy Putnam left the harbor this morning bound for San Francisco. The American schooner Eric was taken from Westport to Astoria, bound out this "morning, while the American schooner Beulah arrived up at tho plant of the West Oregon Lumber com pany to commence loading. An expected arrival in the river this evening is the steamer Thomas L.. Wand, Captain B, B. 8haw, from Alas ka. She has several thousand cases of salmon aboard. Clyde Macrum, a Portland boy, took the post as wireless operator wi the steamer Colonel E: K Drake, which sailed yesterday for Port Ban Luis. MARINE NOTES -day. The superintendent, Mr, PrlChard, j and the -engineer, - Mr. Kenton, have been relieved from further duty. The work of completing the Pacific high- j way from Kalama to Martin's Bluff will be done with .tree labor by the state. The work already done by the "honor men" is first class, and demon, stratee clearly what can be done with prison labor on the highways. Had the camp remained 30 days longer the work would have been completed from Kalama south as far as Hoffman's place, a distance of two mijes. Railroads File Arguments.
