TRAFFIC PANAMA CANAL WILL AGAIN II Portland Waterfront Receives News That Ditch Is in Con dition With Rejoicing, STEAMER MONTANAN HERE! Vessel Will Tatk Away 600 Tons of Cargo; Grace Line' Santa Cat allna la Due Monday. The Panama Canal will be open for traffic tomorrow morning, a .delay of three days having Jiten caused by the slide in Culebra cut. Hereipt of this news was the cause of general rejoicing along the Port land waterfront yesterday afternoon. It came in a dispatch received from the New Yoirk office of W. K. Grace & Co., and Colonel Goethals, head of the cunal zone, was given as the au thority for the statement. The entire damage will not have been reiaired for a considerable length of time, however as the amount of oarth while slid Into the channel at Cult-bra out will roqtilre the attention of the canal dredging force for sev eral weeks, liy quick application of the emergency force held at the canal, t tie damage was repaired sufficiently to allow of the passage of vessels with a drart up to 30 feet. Channel Being Made. A channel 100 feet wide and 30 feet deep will have been completed by to morrow morning. Unless through the number of titeatiiers ahead of her the Grace liner Santa Cecelia, due at the canal to morrow or Tuesday, should not suffer any delay. Captain Anderson's steamer carries a heavy cargo, of, Portland freight which shippers were anxiously awaiting and he Is expected to follow his schedule closely. Yesterday afternoon the American Hawaiian steamer Montanan arrived in the harbor from New York via Cali fornia ports. Bhe carries only 160 tons of cargo for Portland, but will carry away 600 tons of cargo awaiting her on Albert dock. Monday the Grace liner Santa Ca ta li n a is due in from New York via Cali fornia ports. She has 1500 tons of cargo brought through the canal for tills port and will take lumber and general cargo outward bound. Tramp Steamers Coming. Importers alone were not the orHy persons relieved when the news of the re-opening of the Panama canal reached the city for the exporters also were worried during the three days the canal was out of commission. Accord ing to officers of the British steamer South Pacific, which reached here yes terday, the movement of the tramp steamers in this direction Is general and many more will come than have Ueen announced as coming this way. Delay of these steamers through the canal would have meant the loss of many thousand dollars to this section, according to local exporters. The movement of wheat now going ahead at a rapid pace would have been great ly 'delayed as the tramps would have been cut out temporarily, at least. STORMS AFFECT SCHEDULES Yeels in Coastwise Trade Are Delayed by Winds. Schedules have been broken in all directions by the steamship companies operating out of Portland this week, due to the heavy storm which has been Mowing off the coast of Oregon and Washington. All lines being unfor tunate enough to have a steamer due in port during the latter three days of the week were affected. Sailings of the mosquito fleet havs been especially affected, as, except for the Bailing of the steamer Sue H. El more and the gas schooner Tillamook early last week, not a member of the fleet has been seen in port in 10 days. The steamer Geo. W. Elder will bo 36 hours late sailing from Portland, aa she will not get in till Monday noon. It is planned to send her out eight hours later, however. She was de layed both in and outbound at Eureka. t Fifty hours were taken by the steam er Qulnault, Captain Antone Wie, of the Portland Steamship company's fleet, in making the trip from Tatoosh Head to Astoria. As she had only a light cargo of canned salmon, she stood out of the water more than usual, and, bucking a heavy southeast wind, had hard running. She will also be hurried out, and is expected to sail by 9 o'clock Monday evening. ' SI BMARIXES AT SAN PEDRO Monitor Cheyenne Convoys Craft Into Port. fan Pedro, Cal., Oct, 17. The U. S monitor Cheyenne arrived here during tne nignt, convoying submarines H-2 and U-3. The monitor later will be Joined by torpedo boat destroyers from San I lego and a cruiser, after which the entire fleet will engage in battle prnctlce. The steamer Oliver J. Olsen sailed for San Francisco and Seattle this af . ternoon, with passengers and a large portion of the cargo of the steamer Atlantic. Owing to the manner in which the Atlantic had been loaded in BoBton, northern cargo had to be tlten from the steamer here before the local cargo could be discharged. CAPTURE FEARED BY CAPTAIN French Ship Desalx Reaches Port land Safely. For 10 days before the French ship Denaix, Captain Flonet, reached San Diego harbor, her master and crew were In deadly fear of being captured by the German cruisers thought to be off the California coast at that time. Tho Desaix reached Portland yesterday morning to discharge the remainder of hei, cargo and Captain Plonefs story of his voyage was listened to with much interest by his several friends here,, who gathered on, the ship yes terday morning to welcome him. The Desaix, in making r for San Di ego, came north to a point almost due west of San Francisco, then to take advantage of wind and current which would carry Iter into San Diego har bor.

Shipping Notes From irst of four crack refrigerator chips to be placed In service by the Star line, the British steamer Brodmount, reached Puget sound last week. The ships are for service in handling food stuffs of a perishable nature and will carry in an 8000 tons of freight. Sixty foreign built ships of a com bined net register of 233,781 tons, have been admitted under the American flag under the recently enacted emerg ency shipping measure. Of that num ber 54 were British. 4 German and 2 Belgian carriers. Fifty-seven of the 60 are Atlantic carriers. The British ship Wray Castle, which had been idle on Puget sound for sev eral days, was taken for delivery of grain to Europe by Strauss & Co., last week. The Blue Funnel liner Cyclops, which has been to the north Pacific on numerous occasions, is one' of the troop ships which the British govern ment has requisitioned. The Germans lost another steamer recently when the Suimow was cap tured -by the Japanese. She waa at tempting to make a neutral port but ran short of provisions and was cap tured endeavoring to buy necessary stores from the natives off the coast of Kiushiu. Despite the heavy losses being suf fered monthly by the Hamburg-Ameri can and North German Lloyd compa nies, the officers and men of their steamers interned at different neutral ports are receiving their wages regu larly. The Emery Steamship company gained the distinction of making th first Panama canal payment to be made at the Boston sub-treasury when they deposited a cneck lor $.ooo in payment of the steamer Atlantic.
