WAR 1 OFFSHORE
j BUSINESS FADES
British and Japanese Lines Which
Had Withdrawn From Confer
1 ence Return to Previous Rate.
Predictions of an early rate war
in offshore shipping have simmered,
: down and late reports announce that
the Blue Funnel line steamers
(British) and the Japanese steam
t ships operated by; the Mitsui com
pany, have rejoined the conference
andwill stand on prevailing' rates.
The two companies Wnentioned are
in the front rank; with freight car
rying companies1! on the Pacific.
They withdrew from the conference
three months ago and since that
time a rate war has been feared.
The Blue Funnel line Is a British
concern arid operates five of the 15,000
ton class of freighters. Mitsui oper
ates a fleet of 60 steamships in the
freight business.
A conference of the Pacific traffic
agents was scheduled for last Thurs
day at Portland, but was postponed.
Quiet conferences have been underway
and the date of the conference meeting:
has been indefinitely postponed.
A new schedule derates has been es
tablished to -meet existing conditions,
and rates will probably be adjusted
within a short titne.
MOVEMENT OF NOItTIIWEST
LUMI1KH BY WATER GROWS
Since the increase in transcontinental
freight rates, effective September 26,
Oregon and Washington mills have ship
ped 45,434.568 feet of lumber through the
Panama canal to Baltimore, Philadel
phia, New 'York and Boston. During
the past three months this water move
ment has equaled approximately the
; -entire PacifkAtlantlc coast shipments
for 1913, according to the weekly bul
letin of the West Coast Lumbermen's
association. . .
The water movement Is relatively un
important compared with the Immense
production of Oregon and Washington
' mills, but is significant In connection
with plans for immense lumber storage
; and distribution terminals at New York
. and other Atlantic ports. Lack of stor
age and distributing facilities on the
Atlantic seaboard and loading terminals
' at Pacific ports Is a serious handicap
to shipment of lumber by water.
- Production of the association mills In
Oregon and Washington for the week
ending November 13 was 69,368,633 feet
. or 'ii per cent below normal. New
business for the week totaled 42.694,838
. feet compared with shipments amounting
1 to 65,827,000 feet. Over 29 per cent of
the lumber sold during the week was
railroad material, which comprised the
rreater part, of all business received from
east of the Mississippi river. ,
The unshipped balance of orders on
the books of the mills for transcontinen-
- tal rail delivery Is 3944 cars; unshipped
balance in domestic cargo trade is 109,-
.j 460.748, and the unshipped export bal
f ence is 25,608,966 feet, according to the
association bulletin. -
ONE BIG STORM WILL BREAK
UP JOAN OF ARC, IS BELIEF
Marshfleld. Or., Nov. 20. There is no
hope of eavlng the steamer Joan of Arc,
deserted by the crew and stranded on
; the beach at Port Orford.
Today the vessel has turned around
, so that the bow Is pointed toward the
l sea. The vessel is starting to break
amldshlp on the starboard side, but It
Is otherwise Intact. It is in the breakers
and the sea Is not heavy. With a little
' rough weather it Is believed the steamer
will break in two. Some of the lumber
: which was on the deck has washed
ashore, but nothing else has come in
from the vessel.
The tug Storm King is still outside
Port Orford, but has had no chance of
getting near the vessel. Captain
s Michelson, who was master of the ves
sel, is still at Port Orford with five of
his crew, but has not been able to get
aboard and today, about gave up hope.
It has been impossible to get through
the breakers in a row boat. The captain
; had hoped to save some of the posses
sions of the crew; Those who are fa
miliar with this particular part of the
coasreay the vessel Is now as good as
a total loss.

SCOURING
T IS THE
BUILT 1 CITY
Proposed Venture, Able to Care
for Million Pounds a- Month,
Is Capitalized at $2,000,000.
Portland is to have a wool scour
ing plant, capable of scouring 1,000,-
000 pounds of wool a month, as part
of the equipment of the Western
Wool Warehouse, according to an
announcement made Saturday by S.
F. Wilson, vice president of the
warehouse company, which recently
incorporated for $2,000,000.
The wool scouring plant, which will
make more marketable western wool,
will be the best west of Boston and the
only large public ; one in Portland, Wil
son declared. : '
At the same time Wilson announced
that Theron Fell,: an authority on wool,
had been elected a director and ap
pointed vice-presisent in charge of the
wool department. Fell left Saturday
for the East to order a complete scour
ing plant equipment and will confer with
Dr. C J. Smith, another director.
"By scouring wool in transit, irrespec
tive of storage, we shaU. be able to make
an actual average' saving of 1 cent a
pound on freight rates on a number of
grades to the grower," said Wilson.
This saving will be rendered possible
by utilizing the local rate from the) In
terior to Portland on wool 'in the
grease, scouring t in Portland and ship
ping the scoured product by water. Even
by utilizing an all-rail shipment there
will be a considerable saving.
Contracts have already been let to
girdle with trackage the three acres of
water-front property acquired by the
warehouse company from the American
Marine Iron Works, below the S. P. & S.
bridge. The property has a modern two
level dock, 360 feet in length. Construc
tion of the first unit of the warehouse
and the scouring mill will begin imme
diately afterwards, under , the direction
of Lewis L Thompson, architect. It Is
proposed to have the First units of the
warehouse ready for the spring wool
rUp. .
The warehouse will be independent It
u expected to provide accommodation
for la.000,000 pounds of wool. Wool will
be accepted without the obligation to
consign and the grower will have at all
times control of his clip, while it will be
the only wool warehouse in the West un
der regulations of the United States wool
warehouse act and conducted subject to
the regulations of the chief of the bu
reau of markets, Wilson .declared.
Seventeen prominent Portland nd Ore
gon bankers and wool men are on the
directorate.

MARK! FLURRY
Three Dollar Reduction in Side
Cut by Grays Harbor Firm Re
leases Orders Till Surplus Goes
Sensational slashing of lumber
prices on carload shipments, by the
Grays Harbor Lumber company,
caused a flurry In the market
throughout the Western and Mid
dle Western states Friday and SaU
urday, and local manufacturers
drew a breath of relief , when tele
graphic messages from N. J. Blagen
at Hoquiam cancelled further offer
ings at the reduced quotation Satur
day afternoon. .
The mill of the Grays Harbor Lum
ber company at Hoquiam is operating
three eight-hour shifts on orders for
railroad cross ties. The mill has a ca
pacity of 750,000 feet dally and the side
cut from the tie manufacture caused a
rapid accumulation of lumber in the
company's yards. In order to move a
surplus stock, estimated at 100,000,000
feet, N. J. Blagen, head of the Grays
Harbor company, ordered reductions av
eraging $3 per thousand on carload ship
ments, reserving the right to reject any
or all orders.
ORDERS POUR I3T
Immediately following the announce
ment of the company's offer orpers be
gan pouring in from eastern territory
and the stock was rapidly depleted, ac
cording to local representatives of the
concern. . The bulk of the business ac
cepted at the low rate went to Minnesota,
North and South Dakota,- Kansas, Ne
braska, with a fait portion distributed
in territory east of the Mississippi river.
According to oftcials of the West
Coast Lumbermen's association lumber
prices have been reduced approximately
40 per . cent since May 30 and manu
facturers who are obliged to purchase
logs to supply their mills claim, there is
no profit in operating at the present
market level. As a result It is esti
mated that nearly 50 per cent of the in
dustry in Western Oregon and Western
Washington has closed 'down and many
mills and logging camps in this district
have announced their intention of shut
ting down December 1.

Alfred Black Sails
For Orient to Seek
Business and Data

He will visit Yokohama and Kobe, in
Japan, and Shanghai, Chefoo. Tientsin,
Peking, Hankow, Canton and Hong
kong, in China, Increase of business
handled through the Port of Portland
from the Orient is his first objective.
He will return, however, loaded with
Information helpful1 to port officials
and local business men in advancing
trade plans.
Incidentally, it was announced that
the rapidly expanding commerce of
Portland has justified the company in
arrangements to establish branches in
New York and Chicago early " in 1921,
