American-Hawaiian Steamship Compa
ny Will Rearrange Its Schedule for
the Sugar Ships.
So surrpKH'ful to the Interests of tha
steamship linos has the Panama ranai
proved that ' til's companies operating
throtich tli.it route are already plan
ning on extending their services. An
economy of operation scarcely ex
pected has been found to prevail ac
cording to the reports of the various
lines.'
lieslden including the lnrger Atlan
tic ports In their Itinerary, the lines
operating from the north Pacific co.ist
are now branching out and within the
next few weeks services will have b-en
Inaugurated to Norfolk, Mobile, Gal
veston, New Orleans and Charleston.
Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore
are already included In the stopping
places of the larger lines.
ITew Boutins' Planned.
' In addition to the.se Atlantic coit
porta It now seems probable that the
Hawaiian Islands will be made acces
sible to Portland merchants through,
the routing of the American-Hawaiian
fcteamslflp company's vessels home via
the Islands.
With the coming of December and
the commencement of, the heavy ship
ments of sugar from the islands east
ward through the canal It is the plan
of the American-Hawaiian to complete
ly rearrange Its schedules. The first
of that company's steamers to operate
out of this port will he the steamer
Kentuckian, which will leave here
Tuesday, carrying 400 tons of flour,
fetrllizer, hardware and cured meats.
Transhipment kf freights from this
section to the islands will b6 done to
accommodate the freights which It Is
believed will be offered. Eight steam
ers, the Missourlan, Virginian, Kansan,
Alaskan, Arlzonan, Texan, Columbian
and Mexican will be placed on a 60-day
schedule from New York o San Pedro
and the Islands, returning to New York
laden with sugar. The six newest
steamers of the line, the Ohioan, Mon
tanan, Iowan, Panaman, Washlngton
lan and Pennsylvanian, will be placed
on a fast scervlce between New York
and San Francisco only, while eight
other steamers are to maintain an 80
day service to the north Pacific.
Will Touch Mobile.
Sudden & Chrlstensen, operating a
fleet of steamers to north Pacific
ports, are now planning a service into
Mobile, Galveston and New Orleans
with their steamers,., while the Luck
rnliack Steamship company, which,
with the resumption of heavier traffic
in lumber will come o this port, will
also touch at g"ulf ports. Arrange
ments are being completed with
Southern railroad for' the directing of
their freight to the seaboard And Its
delivery here.
V. It. Grace fc Co. had planned on
sending the steamer Santa Catalina,
which was badly damaged on the Co
lumbia river last Sunday, into Norfolk
while it is said that they are also
plannlnk on centering their efforts
about Philadelphia, as well as Now
York, wherein their strength lies.
LUMDER HATES TO BE CUT
Reduction Planned for Thirty-Foot
Lengths.
A reduction in the price of shipping
lumber In 30 foot lengths between
North Pacific ports and New York city
Is to be made within the next few days
by W. R. Grace & Co., which It is be
lieved will be of material benefit to
the lumber mills of this section. The
price of $13 a, thousand feet now main
tained is to be reduced to $12.
That rate has already been" quoted
on shipments out of Seattle and fol
lowing their usual policy of treating
all North Pacific ports alike it is ex
pected that the reduction will also be
granted here. The reduction will
.lnnn luniKn. mOhln . n a ml- ...fh nf
the consumer on the Atlantic coast
than ever before..
Reasons given-for the reduction are
the entrance of the small steamer into
the field. Rates have been cut with
abandon by the 'small ship owner, say
the larger companies, and the reduc
tion has been forced upon them.
The clearing of the Oriental situa
tion is anxiously awaited by lumbeJ
exporters as It is believed that with ail
better outlook in the orient that con
siderable business can be done there.
Prices, it is said, will likely be very
low but will permit of the operation
of the mills here at something like
their regular capacity and the pay
ment df overhead expenses in full.
A large contract for the delivery of
" lumber has been closed recently by
the Dollar Steamship company, ac
cording to advices from San Francisco
and it 3s expected that charters for the
handling will be announced at an early
date. The Dollar fleet Is now largely
engaged in coastwise traffic and it is
thought the lumber will be shipped In
foreign bottoms.
Two Norwegian vessels, the bark
Wulff and the steamer Hornelen have
been chartered for North Pacific load
ings. The Wulff has been taken for a
cargo to Delagoa Bay at 61s 3d while
th"e steamer Hornelen has been taken
by Hind, Rolph & Co. for a round rtip
to Australia paying Ss 6d for the round
trip. Two other British steamers are
said to be available in the North Pa
cific for lumber or grain, they being
the Kingsway and Bumholme.
BOATS FEAR EIGHT-HOUR LAW
But One Steamer Would Escape
Effects of Law.
That practically every steamboat op
erating on the Willamette or Columbia
rivers would have to tie up if the uni
versal' eight hour measure to be voted
upon November 3 carries, is the belief
of Portland steamship men. But one
Bteamer would escape the effects of
the law, the steamer Woodland, oper
ating to Lewis river.
"We would have to employ three
crews of men on every steamer and

city. She Is one of the most modern
they would only be working about one
third of the time and would not earn
their salt," said Captain Ed Budd, of
the O.-W. R. & N. company's water
lines. "Deck hands work only when a
steamer is at the docks and if we
carried three crewa on some of the
steamers on the river they would be
crowding one another for a place to
sit around most of the time.
"The wages which would be required
over those now paid would bankrupt
every, line on the river. The differ
ence would about equal the profit now
being made by the more successful
lines and would, I believe, result In
their tying up completely if the meas
ure passes. Higher rates, in competi
tion to the railroads and automobiles
are hardly possible and that would be
the only possible way of offsetting
the losses."
VOLGA SAILS WITEAT LADEN
British Steamer Leaves Tacoma for
Europe With 288,884 Bnshels.
Tacoma, Wash., Oct. 24. Carrying'

to Balfour Guthrie & Co.; the' British
steamer Fornebo, under charter to

Cardiff and is believed to be coming

Among the sailing ships expected
to load here are the French bark Gen
eral de Boisdeffre and British bark
Invercjyde. At the present time the
grain warehouses at Tacoma are filled
with wheat and the shipment In the
export trade this year promises to be
the largest in several seasons.

Hopgrowers Plan
New Organization
Preliminary Step Taken at Salem to
Form Pacific Coast Association to
Help Stabilize the Market.
(Salem Bureao of The Journal.!
Salem, Or., Oct, 24. Preliminary
steps were taken here this afternoon
to organire the Paciflo Coast Hop
Growers' association to Include in its
membership at least 85 per cent of the
hopgrowers of Oregon, California and
Washington, four prominent hopgrow
ers of California arriving here to rep
resent that state, and urge the forma
tion of the association. A meeting
was held in Independence tonight, and
next Tuesday a meeting will be held
to effect a permanent organliatlon.
Growers of the Salem and Dallas
sections were present at the , meeting
this afternoon.
An organization similar to that of
the California, Raisin Growers" asso
ciation is planned. It was stated at
the meeting that the raisin associa
tion has succeeded In increasing- the
price of raisins materially.
No pool Is planned, but It Is pro
posed to establish, through a commit
tee In each locality, a minimum prtc
above the cost of production to allow
a reasonable profit. In this way, it is
contended, a long train of middlemen
will be eliminated.
Growers were unanimous In their
belief that there is no good excuse for
the present Instability of the market.
