. THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 12, 1914. 13 EIGH T SI At SAN F AFTER HARD VOYAGE i Vessels Make Port After Bucking Headwinds for 2 Days on Coast Trip. MAY SAVE MINA BREA Vessel Was i Stranded Sixteen lKUss Worth of Point Titus on the West Coast. Han Francisco, Oot. 12. After buck ing a strong head wind for the past two days eight steamers came into port Friday from various ports be tween Point Arena and Puget sound. Tho passenger steamers included the Admiral Schley of the Pacific Navi gation company, from Seattle; the Mc cormick steamer Willamette, both from Seattle and Tacoma; : the North Pacific steamer Roanoke and the Mc cormick steamer Multnomah from Portland, and the Nan Smith of the C. A. Smith company, from Coos Bay. All of the steamers were delayed by Btorms. The Marahfleld came In from Albion with only 200,000 feet of lum ber. This is only a part cargo, but the weather became no bad that it was unsafe to wait until the ship was fully loaded. When the Pacific Mail steamship Manchuria and the Oceanic steamship Ventura raced into port a few weeks ago, passing into the harbor nearly to gether, tho affair wu reported aa be ing rather unusual. According to ad vice received yesterday, the same kind of a maritime incident, will hap pen again next week. Baca From Honolulu. The Pacific mail liner Mongolia, (learning here from the orient, 'and the Oceanic liner bo noma, steaming from Australia, are expected to come into port around the noon hour on Thurs day. Both vessels have Bailed from Honolulu and are now racing together. The skipper of each is expected to do Ms best to make the best showing for his command. Kmery Rice 1ft in com mand of the Mongolia and J. H. Trask is on the bridge of the Sonoma. The latest advices from Antofagasta indicate that there is little more chance of saving the wrecked British steamer Mina Urea than of saving the (Joldert Gate. The Mina Brea was stranded 16 miles north of Point Titus on the west coast and the only chance to do anything to salvage the vessel will largely depend upon the weather. Jurtain contractors have proposed to attempt to float the ship and tow it to Callao and there make repairs. In this there is little prospect of success, it la said. Chance Xa Blight. There is but little chance for the salvaging of the Hind-Holph ship ("olden Oate, according to recent ad vice. The big British ship went ahore, striking against some of the concrete blocks of the breakwater at Montevideo two weeks ago and as a result many of the plates are broken and the water in the hold measures 14 feet. Divers who have been at work have revealed the damage. Some of the concrete blocks have penetrated Into the hull and It la Bald that there Is little Indication that the ship may be saved. The cargo is being removed. The British steamer Orlstano, char tered by A. Carpentier, is xpected to arrive from Antwerp before morning with a big cargo of general European merchandise. Carpentier said yester day that the Orlstano is bringing a million dollar cargo, ona of the largest ever brought here. The cargo conslsta largely of Bteel goods and manufac tured produeta.

"The Oregon state senate haa al ways stood between the taxpayers and the extravagance of the house," reads negative argument by the Non-Parti-san league, George C Mason, manager. "At each session of' the legislature for years past, tbe senate has killed many appropriation bills which had been rushed through the house and has thereby saved many thousands of dol lars to-the publto treasury."

Carrying a cargo of coal discharg ing which she will come here to load wheat, the British steamer Volga passed into the Straits of Juan de Fuca yesterday. She discharges at Esquimault before coming here. CANAL SAVTSS LARGE SUM Steamer Georgian Cuts Off Month's Sailing Time. A saving of $10,000 resulted, it is said, from the American steamer Georgian being able to come through the Panama canal to this coast instead of going by way of the Straits of Ma gellan. The Georgian arrived at Albers dock Saturday evening and Captain Sw Bet ter estimates that easily that amount was saved. Canal tolls and pilotage for the big steamer amounted to $5200. The run was made in 26 days, while the running time around the South American continent would have been la the neighborhood of 60 days, a saving of one month. Running expenses of the Georgian amount to about $600 a day, her expenses during the month more therefore being about $15,000. The Georgian brought 850 tons of cargo which she is to deliver at Albers dock, after which she will take 600 tons outward for Charleston, New York and Boston. MAY GET THE SACRAMENTO Captain Jacobsen, Formerly of the Navajo, Mentioned. Captain J. Jacobsen, who has been master of the American steamer Navajo for the past few years and who was recently relieved by Captain LiUi land. Is to be master of the American steamer Sacramento should the latter eventually get away from San Fran cisco under jthe American flag. She is now the German steamer Alexandria and has been purchased by a San Francisco syndicate. As R. H. Swayne, senior member of the firm of Swayne & Hoyt, operating the Arrow Line of steamers, is one of this syndicate, it is believed here that the Alexandria or Sacramento will eventually go into the Panama canal trade to supplement the Camino and John A. Hooper. ALONG THE WATERFRONT Weather permitting, the gas barge Wakena will get away from Astoria today, bound for Puget sound. She is commanded by Captain Bernt Olsen, formerly master of the tug Akutan, . Rough weather has been reported off the Oregon coast and the mosquito fleet is as a result somewhat off its regular schedule. The Mirene and the Patsy ought to get in today, while the Knterprise and Ahwenda are supposed to have left Waldport together, bound for Portland and are due tomorrow. With passengers and freight for San Francisco and San Pedro, the steamer R06e City, Captain Rankin, sails to morrow afternoon at 3 o'clock. After a pleasant trip up the coast, the North Pacific steamer Yucatan, Captain A. C. Paulsen, reached Colum bia dock last night. But few crews of longshoremen were working today, the companies operat ing the regular lines to San Francisco alone paying the double time required for holiday work. The Norwegian ship Spartan will leave down the river tomorrow morn ing. She is bound for the United King dom with wheat. Chinese Passenger Held. San Francisco, Oct. 12. Kwan Nin, a Chinese, was arrested here today upon the arrival of the steamship Governor from Seattle, charged with having robbed Henry Gatjens, 4817 Main street. Los Angeles, of $600. Gatjens was on his way home from Alaska. He said he thought the Chinese was a steward and allowed him to enter his stateroom. Kwan had J680 on his per son when searched. Steamer Strathgarry Afloat, Seattle, "Wash., Oct. 12. After being fast on a sand spit at Point Hudson near Port Townsend for more than 15 hours, the British steamer Strathgarry was floated at 11:40 today without as sistance. The vessel grounded at 8 o'clock Sunday night while bound from Eureka for Bellingham. It is not be lieved to be damaged. Captain Macgenn Hopeful. Captain T. J. Macgenn promises that the steamer Breakwater after Monday next will run away from any steamer on the Pacific coast. The steamer is to go into drydock on that day to have a new and larger wheel placed and to be scraped and painted. With her present wheel the Breakwater is credited with 18 to 16 knots and it argument, "doubles the opportunity and temptation for trading and loe rolling, for legislative delay, fraud! failure, extravagant appropriations, and general Inefficiency and at the same time reduces by one-half all chances to fix responsibility," The affirmative argument adds that Norway has had a single house legis lature for a hundred years, and that all of the Canadian provinces but two and all but six of the Swiss cantons have but ons house. - Secret methods of legislation would' be more difficult with a single house legislature. It Is added, while the greater responsibility would expose bad and weak men. France abandoned the dual chamber legislative system but had experience that mada it regret tbe act,, asserts the negative argument Balanced leg islation can only be expected from a dual house legislature, it Is stated, and the argument concludes with this statement: 'Wa believe that this proposed amendment Is dangerous to the welfare of the cltlsens and taxpayers of Ore gon and earnestly request that you vote 'No." "' " .

After an investigation into the opera tions of the "blue sky" law as now ad ministered, the Manuracturers' associa tion of Oregon has adopted resolutions strongly opposing the initiative bill proposing the consolidation of the cor poration department with tbe state in surance department. e Eanleys "Soenio Asset." l The Ashland Record admires the nerve Of Colonel Bill Hanley and has the following to say about tbe matter: Colonel Bill Hanley of Burns says he wants to be and should be and is going to be elected to the United States sen ate.. We admire the ambition of any man who wants to be elected to tbe United States senate, and after looking Colonel Bill Hanley over and hearing him talk we admire his nerve for think ing be should be and is going to be elected. Personally we cannot sea any call for sending Colonel Bill Hanley to the United States senate at this period In Oregon's history, and we do not be lieve be will be elected to any great ex tent. Colonel Bill Hanley is too pic turesque for a United States senator at this time, eighty or ninety years ago be would have done first rate, In addition to looking like William Jen nings Bryan on wnich be plumes him- f Do you I elf more or less he also look like Daniel Boone and old Liana Applegate. He belongs to that fast-vanishing type which included Kit Carson and Davy Crockett and Buffalo Bill. In fact, be Is not senatorial timber at all is part of the scenery of Oregon, and aa uch he should be kept in the state and shown to visitors along with Mount Rainier and Crater lake and th eaves of Josephine. Chamberlain. Fralsed. Senator George K. Chamberlain was once a resident of Albany, and the Al bany Democrat recalls the following incident of that time: If Chamberlain is poor, it ia an hon orable poverty. That he haa not ac quired a fortune affords conclusive proof of bis integrity and absolute loy alty to the interests of hi constitu ents. His lack of wealth is not due to; lack of opportunity. It ia not due to I a betrayal of those who have so many I times honored him with their vote. It is due to a long career of honorable and faithful service. Chamberlain once resided in Albany. There is one incident in connection with his residence here to which we will now refer. The pioneers of this section of the state will remember the failure of the Linn County National bank. They will also remember that George K. Cham berlain settled in full witn that insti tution. They will remember that in order to do this he sold his own home which was exempt from execution, and paid every dollar he owed. They will remember that when be left Albany he owed no man a cent, and that, his only available asset was a legal training, wuieh he later put to a good purpose in the city of Portland. A less honor able man than Ueorge E. Chamberlain would have taken advantage of the ex emption laws of the state and saved his borne from the financial wreck, but Chamberlain preferred financial loss rather than the repudiation of bis ob ligations. e rrateraaliBta Write to Candidates. - C C. Van Orsdal, grarid guardian. Women of Woodcraft; Margaret Her rin, grand chief of honor. Degree of Honor, and H. s. Hudson, supreme mas ter artisan. United Artisans, as head of their respective fraternal insurance societies, have directed a letter to eaca candidate for the legislature in the state, asking for an expression of the candidate's attitude toward legislation affecting fraternal Insurance societies having headquarters In Oregon. In part, their letter says. At the present time the statutes of this state discriminate against your home societies in favor of societies of other states in that they require a much more rigid valuation of our in surance certificates than is required from foreign societies, all of which we are in competition with. This is dit orlmlntaing and unjust and places us at a disadvantage. Will you favor aa amendment to our present laws grant ing us equavl privileges with foreign societies in this respect? There axe also certain forms of in surance now written by old line com panies in this state which our present laws do not permit us to write, even though it be written upon a wholly adequate and proper basis. Will you favor an amendment to our laws grant, ing us equal privileges In this respect? The societies represented by us have a membership of 25.000 people In this state, and assets of $2,500,000. We be lieve that our buslnee is worthy of the fostering care of our legislature and that it should open up to us every avenue that is granted to others en gaged in like business. Will you please give us an idea of your attitude upon these matters in order that we may ad vise our membership through our lodges? 1 e e OTegi at EUoi School. , There will be a meeting at the Eliot school house this evening, Rodney and Knott streets, where A. F. Flegei and other Democratic candidates and speakers will deliver addreasea, WHATLABOR IS DOING State Will Provide for (he Aged Parents of Accident Victim. Oommlaeioa Settles A case settled by the State) Indus trial and Accident commission at its last meeting is illustrative of many in the United States. A young man who was the partial support of his aged parents, suddenly killed In logging operations, leaving no estate, nevertheless does not leave tbe old ioui to want, i ne commission gives , theiu a pension for life of $18.75. As they have a small plot of ground and a house it is expected that this sum will about equal what he would have been able to do for them during his natural life. e e Union Doubles Membership. The Waiters' union has doubled its membership in the past six months, and is making agreements with em ployers to talk over rather than fight over difficulties. e e Win Amotion Off Baskets. Next Thursday evening the Garment Workers will have a stack of well packed lnnch baskets at Carpenters' hall, Eaat Pin and Grand avenue. The baskets will be auctioned off to the highest bidders. A good social time is expected, i e Zonis Temper Xs Dead. Friday evening O. D. Forte received a telegram announcing the death of his friend, Louis Temper, secretary of the International Brewery Workers, who resided in Cincinnati. e Belays Uaavoldabl. Some of the claims coming before the State Industrial Accident commis sion cannot be settled promptly be cause the persons killed are foreign ers and the question of dependent rel atives has to be settled through for eign consuls. The European war will ? make this still more difficult in some cases. Where a wife or children are in the state the matter can be disposed of by granting a pension in a few days. e e Carpenters Are Busy. In many towns throughout the Wil lamette valley small building work is going on and keeps many carpenters busy, Tbe price of building material is ddwn. crops are good and farmers and townspeople are taking occasion to build additions, small cottages, barns and other buildings. e e Placing of Banners Olseomragwtt. Whlle the members of organised labor consider the right to earry a boycott banner an inalienable one, at present the placing of any more a the streets in Portland is discouraged. Several requests for authorisation of a banner have been postponed and con ciliation proceedings attempted.
