THE 'OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND FRIDAY, MAY 28, 1915. 17 V.l GRACE & CO. TO LOAD FENWICK HERE FOR THE VET COAST Placing of Hammond Steam er on Portland List Gives City Four for June. COAST- FLEET DEPLETED Scarcity sew Being Pelt by Coastwise : Trade Calif omla Demand -Is Heavy. An additional west coast steamer will likely load lumber and flour here during June, making four scheduled arrivals here for that period. W. R. Grace & Co. yesterday chartered the American steamer Geo. W. Fenwick and will load her with a part cargo here, the balance to be taken at San Francisco. The American steamer Cacique and the Norwegian steamers . Tricolor and Cuzco are the other June . steamers. With thef chartering of the Fenwick, the entire fleet of the Hammond Lum "ber company is under time charter. - The General Hubbard has been on the Atlantic for several months, the Edgar 1L Vance is in San Francisco,, being re paired after her experience with the ' big storm of several weeks ago and will then go to the Atlantic coast wits lumber. .With this fleet and others of like character tied up under outside busi ness it is no 'wonder that the lumber Industry is suffering, declare local shipping men Vessels of this type are carrying some lumber on deck but only because no -other kind of freights can be handled ,on deck. The demand for tonnage to handle the necessities Is so great that lumber cannot be handled below deck and be sold at a price" sufficiently low to make such a transaction feasible, they say. Rumor is that a cargo was sold In NeW Tork recently on which a freight . rate of $15.50 a thousand feet was re quired. The rate In the past has been 1121 and $15- Delivery on this' cargo Is to be made in November. The California trade is beginning to feel the effects c f the shortage of vessels. Numerous . small carriers . hitherto engaged entirely in this trada . have been sent to Alaska, Honolulu, the west coast and the Atlantic coast. Few carriers of modern build are to be had. The Arrow Line has 2000 tons 'of freight oh Portland docks awaiting shipment with only one vessel to be , had for the next two weeks. Tha Daisy Gadsby is due in tonight with general cargo and will load lumber south. The Daisy Futnam win sail from San Francisco tonight and care for ia part of this cargo on her south bound trip. Swayne & Hoyt are searching for other vessels to handle, the i freight here. . , HIGH CHARTER PROFITABLE ( Local Firm Expected to Net Big . Sum Through Japanese Steamer. The recharter of the Japanese steam er Kenkon Maru No. IX by the Pacific Import Lumber company to Hind, Rolph & Co. at 130 shillings, announced in. The Journal yesterday, was the principal topic of discussion on the waterfront this morning; Shipping men estimate that the local firm will clear at the least $100,000 on the deal. She is reported to have been chartered at 8 shillings a .tn .i- na. Mortal, hxr the lnfol --per month on time eharter by the local concern. If this charter runs a year, they will pay in the neighborhood of - $38,000 for the vessel. The one trip to Bombay will pay $107,550, and should take not more than 90 days. The charter for the balance of the year is yet to be arranged for her, and will be clear profit for the. local concern. SHIPS AT EIGHTY SHILLINGS Portland Loading. Rates for sailing vessels for United Kingdom delivery of wheat from Port land" advanced to 80 shillings today according to A. Cohen, head of the Northern 'Grain & Warehouse Co., Strauss & Co.'s, Portland representa . tives. No fixtures were reported at that figure.

'Vf Irvine; Nation al Capitalisation Is Heeded. University of Oregon, Eugene. Or., May 28. Arguments for shifting the control of the state's resources from private corporations to the state and the nation; for the abolition of the fee simple method of giving away wa ter rights; for a sane system of de veloping navigation and Irritation posT sibilities. and for an extensive method of bringing the arid -lands of Eastern Oregon under irrlgati n, were the sali ent issues in the ad cresses of former Governor West, B. . Irvine and J. N. Teal here this morning at the open ing session of the seventh annual com monwealth conference. To realize the ereatest efficlenev from the latent resources, B. F. Irvina contended that natibnal cooperation, instead of private c&rrurjtion. l niMliii A plan whereby companies would not e granted a franchise over an indefi nite period of time,, was advocated, to- getner with the abolition of rhe fe simple plan, which -was declared mo nopolistlc and -ruinous. "The Lane policy of making only tem porary grants of : public resources to individuals wag urged. Short-Siyhted System. J. N. 'Teal condemned the systems of developing the state's water power. His Indictmerat of past systems was that they provided for only the im mediate needs, and had not an eye for the future, or for additional uses that the resources could be put to. He used as an illustration the Celilo proj ect, which cost the government $5,000, 000, but which still disregarded the momentous possibilties for water power. Mr. Teal advocated a system of ca nalization for improving the navigation of Oregon waterways, and emphasized the necessity of national and state statutes for securing the national cap italization of the, nation's resources. A commission to launch an educa tional campaign for the improvement or municipal charters was appointed yesterday y Alfred C. Schmidt, pre siding officer. The members of the commission are: Benjamin C. Sheldon of Medford, , Richard T. Tisc'her of Salem, F. J, Tooze of Oregon City, Robert G. Dieck of Portland, and Don C. Sowers of Eugene. To further the work of city planning a second commission was appointed consisting of E. T. Mlsche of Port land, Marshall N. Dana of Portland, J. W. McArthur of Lebanon, Ellis F. Lawrence of Eugene, and a fifth woman member to be apppinted later. The city planning commission was created as a result of the paper read by E. T: Mische, adviser of the city park commission of Portland. In this paper the speaker gave the results of city planning in Europe and in some of the eastern citiea where the system had improved the educational, . sani tary and recreational conditions of the cities. Will Investigate Otaiaitlons. The commission will investigate con ditions with tle view of submitting a draft "of a bill to the next session of the legislature. The commission for the improve ment of municipal charters was cre ated as a result of a paper on "A Mod ern City Charter," read by Benjamin C. Sheldon, a member of the Medford Charter Revision committee. Among the essentials of the modern city charter Mr. Sheldon proposed "home rule" which allows a city greater de velopment oy creating an incentive for planning through experiment with local problems and the short ballot, which assures intelligent voting on the most important of offices and cen ters responsibility where it belongs by making the offices conspicuous. L. M. Curl, mayor of Albany, and A. ,L. Barbur, city auditor of Port land, pleaded that cities I establish themselves on a cash basis. Mr. Bar bur recommended serial bonds as a remedy for the difficulties that cities bave with sinking funds. The application of the principle of excess condemnation was presented by W. P. La Roche, city attorney of Fort land. ' 3ert R. Greer of Ashlar appeale-i to th3 league that the state capitalize its wealth of scenery, climate and other natural resources, as California has done, and through the instrumentality of publicity create a playground for the nation as California has done. A business meeting was held late in the evening and last year's officfars were reelected for next year. The of ficers are Thomas N. Strong of Port land, president; Alfred C. Schmidt of Albany, vice! president, and Professor F. G. Yourg, secretary. A midwinter meeting was proposed to meet in Portland. This matter will be decided later. !
