PACIFIC MARINER 25 YEARS, LYONS A STRANGER Captain of Oriental Liner Coaxet, Now in City, Has Been Navi gating in the Far East. FORMERLY OIL TANK SKIPPER During the War Captain Lyons Commanded the Supply Ves sels Westport, Newport News Although a master mariner of the Pacific coast for 25 yearn, Captain Howard R. Lyons of the Oriental liner Coaxet, arriving In Portland Saturday, Is practically a stranger on the Pacific coast. This paradox ical situation Is explained, however, by the fact that he has been navi gating the Far East coast instead of this side. For more than 20 years previous to the war. Captain Lyons was skipper of Standard Oil tankers plying' between the Chinese ports, arrtl three years ago was running light draft tank boats up the Yangtse Klang river for a distance of 1600 miles from the sea, fighting river pirates as a side issue of 'the business. CROSSED" OCEAN MANY TIMES . When the, war came on Captain Lyons was" commissioned lieutenant comman der in the navy and commanded suc cessively the naval supply vessels West port and Newport News, crossing the Atlantic from Philadelphia. Released in June, Captain Lyons left Out of Portland in July with the Coaxet. His home la in Brooklyn, N. Y. The Coaxet arrived In Friday afternoon, after beating around in the fog and wind off the bar for eight hours. This was the only delay experienced during the entire trip, which was completed, from Portland to Yokohama, Shanghai, Hongkong and Manila, in 89 days and 11 hours. Captain Lyons has been as signed to' the Coaxet permanently by the Pacific Steamship company, and will take the vessel out again on No vember 28. WAWALONA LOADEB MONDAY Leading of the Wawalona starts Monday. This steamer will be the fourth to depart on the Portland-Oriental Bervice. The Wawalona has Just been completed at the Standlfer plant In Vancouver. The Waban, third eteamer of the line to depart, leaves Astoria today on a loaded sea trial trip, while the West Hartland, second in the string, has just about completed ner out schedule and will head this way for December berthfng. H. K. Laldlaw, formerly of Portland and lately purchasing agent for the Ad miral line, has left Seattle to become agent In charge for the company at Yokohama. say Inspection not lax Shipping Men Resent Criticism of Emergency Fleet Vessels. Commenting upon the federal grand Jury charges of Inadequate equipment on shipping board steamers built in Port land, men in shipping circles were in dignant,at Insinuations cast that inspec tion on these vessels during construc tion, equipment and trials was lax.: P. C. Pape, assistant director of the Steel ship division of the emergency fleet corporation, who signified his in tention of going before the inquisitorial body when Investigation Is resumed, said that shipping board vessels re ceived the same rigid attention given naval vessels, and that equipment on them was far more complete than on the naval vessels. I ' .VESSELS RIGIDLY INSPECTED "These vessels are Inspected just as thoroughly, or more thoroughly than any other ships constructed in, the United States," said Mr. Pape. "They are given Just as much attention by the govern ment steamboat Inspectors as any other ships receive, and anx insinuations in regard to Inspection of shipping board vessels is an Insinuation against the ship i Inspection policy of the United States government." Numerous complaints have been made recently at the Customs house by seamen on the new steel freighters to the effect that the drinking water supplied makes them ill. A number of men have re fused to sign ships articles on this ac count and the only explanation la that the water is contaminated from the lead plumbing. ANOTHER INQPIIIY TO START In regard to this, Mr. Tape says that the water pipes are- thoroughly, flushed and the tanks scrubbed before drinking water is stored. It was reported Sat urday that another Investigation of this matter will be made at once by the shipping board representatives on all Koveriunent owned Vessels in the harbor. OCTOBER TEMPERATURES LOW Portland Weather Inclined to Be "Freaky" Last of Month. Portland laid out one good record and came dangerously close to another in the variety of weather dished out during "the month of October, according to the report for the period just ended, com plied by Edward L. Wells, local fore caster. Oa October 27 the temperature went dowfc to iO degrees above xero, descend ing lower, by on degree, than on any other October day since the government has maintained records here. The tem perature went, to 31 above on October 81, 187.7, and touched the same low mark on October 30. 1895. The loer temperatures towards the end.: of the month established a low mean temperature of 60.9 degrees. This r mean, however, was surpassed bv a mean of 49.9 degrees In October, 1873, of 0.S J in October. 1881. and a mean of 4.o in uctoDer, 1833. conditions otherwise ourlnr th month were about normal, the report Bnows. : BOAT MAKES DAYTON DAILY Steamer Metlako Buns Round Trip for Increasing Business. -The- volume of business In the Upper Willamette river and its tributaries has become so great that the river steamer Metlako of the Kelso 'Transportation company, is making a round trio each day i-between Portland and Pay ton, on the xamniu river. ; :, .. ,h The shortage of cram cars haa been FRENCH STEAMER LOADING GRAIN MT , nil mjpp.i .i.iimi.Jin.m.

The vessel will take 4100 tons of grain to Marseilles, Jeav ing today. With 4100 tons of white wheat in her hold, of which all will be in bulk ex cepting a small quantity sacked to fill odd corners and to keep the bulk stuff steady, the French steamer Mont Cenis, which arrived in Portland Wednesday morning, will leave out for Marseilles late today. This is the first bulk grain offshore shipment ever made from Portland. Considerable bulk wheat was sent down the coast to San Diego at one time, and the means of giving the river steamer mych business In this commodity, and it is now bringing to Portland ware houses an average of 80 tons of wheat a day. The Metlako leaves up at 5 o'clock in the afternoon and returns -at 10 :'3Q the following morning. The grain is being handled for the Grain corpora lion. A. E. Hayes, owner of the Metlako, and J. G. Edwards recently purchased the river steamer Olympian, formerly operated on the lower river, but for a long time tied up in the boneyard. The Olympian has now been towed to the foot of Taylor street, where she is being overhauled. As soon as .ready the Olym pian will probably be laced In service as a grain carrier, but her route has not been decided upon. EFFINGHAM MAY COME HERE New Steamer Is Bound From Seattle to Liverpool. Although comparatively little cargo has been offered to date, officials of the Columbia-Pacific Shipping company are hopeful of scheduling enough freight next week to insure a visit to this port of the steamer Effingham bound for London and Liverpool. The Effingham, now being ' finished at Seattle, is the third in this direct line of steamers from the Pacific coast to the United Kingdom. The Eelbeck and the Dewey were the first two boats, and each carried much freight from Portland. One thousand tons of cargo must be guaranteed to bring the Effingham here, according to Major V. A. Cartwright, assistant general manager of the local company. "If the city of Portland expects to have European vessels call here for cargo not only for this line but for all lines," said Major Cartwright, "its shippers will have to furnish the busi ness. "Our showing must be better than It has to date if Portland gets the alloca tion of steamers from the United States shipping board that she - expects and should have. Otherwise the Bame dif ficulty now existing- in regard to getting vessels assigned to local lines will con tinue." The Kfflnghatn will sail from the Sound about November 10. MUNICIPAL FIREBOAT REPAIRED Story Denied That George II. Williams Had Been Condemned. Complete denial of a report published in a morning newspaper to the effect that the municipal fireboat George H. Williams had been condemned was made at the local offices of the United States inspectors of hulls and boilers today. As evidence of this fact, a -certificate of operation for another year in the customary form for the Williams was exhibited. The Williams was recently given her. annual inspection. A few soft" planks in the bow were found. and the city was requested to have these replaced as soon as practicable. For this work the Williams is scheduled to drydock next week. City Commissioner Blerelow. to whom is credited the statement that the Wil liams was condemned, said that $8000 would be necessary to cover cost of repairs, but the repairs directed by the government inspectors will not come near that figure, it ' was said, unless the city de-sires to do Rome work not covered in the inspectors' report.

" PROPAGANDA RUNS RABID IN ARTICLE Lawrence Pedrose Writes in Mag azine That Northwest Program Has Proven Complete Failure. MR. HAMILTON (5IVES ANSWER t He Says Pedrose Has Misstated Facts, and Shown Ignorance of Simplest Facts in Shipping. Vigorous protests are being made throughout the northwestern ship ping towns against another outburst of anti-wooden ship propaganda ap pearing in the October issue of Pop ular Mechanics magazine. An article published therein entitled "The Fallacy of Greenwood Shipbuild ing," by Lawrence William Pedrose, tries and condemns the wooden ship inJ. dustry in no uncertain terms, but infor mation supplied in it is proven incorrect by the statistical records of the United States Emergency Fleet corporation. ARTICLE IS AXSWEEED In a letter to the editor of the maga zine, J. Frederic Thorne, business man ager of Frank Waterhouse & Co.'s pub lications, asserts that the article con tains gross misstatements of facts re garding the Northwest industries, which reflect not dnly on the United States shlpjng board but especially on the morals of Northwestern industries and men. To his letter he attaches a com munication written by C. H. Hamilton, president of the Association Of .Norm- western Shipbuilders to Waterhouse, In - wv, -vended mment n the mm.i zine article is made. It is apparent that this man knows little or nothing about the subject on which he is writing," said Hamilton in his letter. "There are at present 49 wooden hulls laid in Lake Union (Seat tie), and they do not represent, as he stated In his article, 'nearly the total of the wood shipbuilding program of the v acme rxortnwesT.. uuiiaers oi uie ... , , . , ... . . . northern district actually completed 73 Rteamera. and these steamers are now in successful operation, as the records of the shipping board wiH show. SHIPS PKOVE WORTH As you well know, the wooden ship was a war-time emergency and was never Intended as a peace program. There is nothing structurally wrong with wooden ships built for the govern ment, and the statement made by Mr. Pedrose that, by reason of the ships being built of green timber, they were unseaworthy as soon as launched, is entirely incorrect. Any wooden vessel. whether built out of green timber or sea soned timber, requires reoaulking from time to time, and It is only necessary to consult the operating department of the shipping board to show that these wooden steamers have been and are being operated very successfully. "The purpose of this article evidently is to discredit the wooden ship, he ship ping board and the Northwest shipbuild ers, and, while no one will contend that the wooden ship can compete econom ically with the steel ship of much larger tonnage, there is no question but what the building of a large number of wooden ships during the war served a very good purpose, and the fact that those ships that were completed are still running and carrying their cargoes even perishable cargoes without dam age, is proor that mere is notning fundamentally wrong with the wooden ship. Had the war continued another year we would have had use for every wooden ship contracted for, but, as no one was able to forecast the duration of the war, the shipping board should not now be blamed for having oh hand a lot of unfinished wooden vessels. CREW AB Alt DOSED SHIP "In reference to the statement ap pearing in this article about one steamer evidently opening too many seams and being lost with all hands, this Is false. The facts were that one of the wooden steamers going South, light, without any cargo, encountered a heavy storm. This vessel was manned with an entirely green and Incompetent crew, who aban doned the vessel at sea, and, upon inves tigation and trial by the steamship In spector, all the licensed officers of this vessel had their licenses taken away on account of incompetency. The vessel did not open up her seams, but eventually turned turtle and drifted ashore, and, upon examination by competent Inspec tors, was found to be absolutely tight and staunch and not structurally weak. The fault was that the ship was sent out light and in charge of an incompe tent crew. In this same storm a, sea worthy steel vessel was lost, with all hands un board, in about the same vicinity. "The -wooden steamer Aberdeen, built by the Grays Harbor Motorship corpor ation in '-3 days from laying of the 4keel to the date of her trial trip and which was the most severely criticised by many people as being impossible to build a vessel in this time and build her seaworthy loaded a cargo and sailed from Puget sound to Honolulu, and there loaded a cargo of sugar and canned goods for San Francisco, and from there loaded a general cargo for New York. The official reports of these trips show that all of these cargoes some of them very perishable were de livered in excellent condition. There were no damaged cargoes whatever, and the entire cost of repairs to this vessel for the three voyages mentioned, was less than $200. This vessel has been , in continuous operation ever since and has given entire satisfaction, as the records f the shipping board will show. This lis only an Instance, and many other wooden steamers have performed equally as well."

Total cars here this week 792 against 851 last year. Primary point received a total of 0.014.000 against 6.524.000 last year. Clearances from the Atlantic seaboard for the week were 220.000 bushels, which was not con sidered encouraging to bulls, a position based largely on anticipation of a broadening demand froi-i export sources. The disinterested atU tude of exporters is, however, considered tem porary, because of the longshoremen's strike, whicii has prevented their moving out the sup plies already on hand at the seaboard. Rye and barley showed a fairly actfre trade in futures and prices fluctuated over a range of 6 to 6 cents, closing lower for all but De cember barley, which showed a moderate gain. There was buying early in the week on prospects of export business with Germany, but advanced price" brought out hedging sales by Northwest ern Interests and prices did not hold. Receipts of rye fur the week were 61 cars against 09 cars last week and of barley 101 cars against 116 cars the previous week. Provisions showed buoyancy and sold higher on buying of futures against sales of lard and meats for export. It is generally understood, although not advertised, that a big volume of business Is being done with certain European ex porters who are securing the promise of such attractive prices that they are willing to accept collateral that TSPuld not normally pass as de sirable exchange under ordinary conditions. They are taking a long chance. ; because there is a big profit In sight and they may cash.
