Barring: quarantine official and "an act of God," the Danish motor - ship1 Slam will make Vancouver, B. C by noon tomorrow and the char ter will be saved for the owners. Fair weather has so far played a part for the Siam, wnicn sauea irom ean Krancfsco Thursday night at 5 o'clock. The -weather bureau hunt oat the northwest etornvsignals, but Boreas had other engagements and Aeolus came to the front and Is fanning, the motorshlp up the coast at an 11-mile gait. The .Siam will be lined and ready for loading on arrival at the Canadian port. " .She Is the third vessel to load British I'ninmhli luit for the United King dom for Ker Gifford & Co. She is a sister ship of the Peru wnicn is unaer charter to the same firm for Portland loading. Not since the days of open charters and the old time "skys-l yarders." has there been any race against time where a charter party was involved. A num ber of years ago the -British ship Walden Abbey. Captain Campbell. let go the mud hook in Portland harbor in less -than an hour from the cancelling date. During the war Captain Campbell, with the same ship, picked up a number of the survivors of the Lusitanla. He was In turn torpedoed by the same .Hun. PifTlHES SHOW POKTIjAXD . HirS IX TRADE OP WORLD How Portland-owned ships are fig uring in the trade of the world is told in a film to be shOwn at the prpheum this week. The reel has to do with the six-masted ' schooners Oregon Fir and Oregon Pinte, both being now on .their way home from Newcastle via Honolulu. fc The pictures take In . early stages of fitting out the vessels and continue along until the big schooners are shown heading southeast, bound for Australia with lumber cargoes. The : Oregon Fir and Oregon Tine delivered their cargoes at Melbourne and then proceeded to Newcastle, where they loaded coal for Honolulu, and both are now en route for the island port. It is said that during their vis its at Australian harbors they at tracted widespread interest, being the Inrgest of the type of wood vessels that have entered the Pacific trade, while the way In which they were handled during stormy weather en route, and the fact that they could accommodate such large cargoes, impressed the Aus tralian mariners. The hulls were laid by the Peninsula Shipbuilding company and were origi nally intended as steamers for the ship ping board, but when the armistice re sulted in contracts for new tonnage was determined' to complete the vessels as schooners. When the hulls were launched they were Bold to Grant Smith A Co. and completely fitted at Portland. "WIRELESS FOR COAST GUARD STATIONS, SHIPPING PLEA B CniTerml Serrice) ; Pan Francisco, Feb. 12. Government ' wireless apparatus is to be installed at all stations of the coast guard along the Pacific coast as a further means of quick assistance to vessels in distress and for the protection of life on wrecked vessels, if a, petition of local shipping interests is beetien in waamgion. The wreck of the steamer Klamath is ' cited as an example of inadequate means of protection for coast vessels. Due to the hurricane which swept the coast last week and drove the Klamath ashore at week and drove the Klamath ashore at Delmar, all telegraph and telephone lines in that vicinity were down. Communication, between this port and the Point Arena life guard station only 200 miles north of the wreck, was inter rupted. As a result the lifeguards at Point Arena' did not know there was a wreck until 24 . hours after the passeng ers had been saved, it is said. SCANDINAVLNS AND SWEDES SET PACE IN SHIPBUILDING The pace set' by the Norwegians and Swedes in the - building and? operation of motorships. and the speed, economy , and carrying capacity of the type of craft has set other maritime nations in the "take notice" class. "America Is about to enter on its program of motorship de velopment and use, and, in fact, has actually entered It within the last year," says -the Maritime Bulletin, "The rate of adoption depends upon the speed with which established facts become recog nized and known, and are followed by building orders. It Is of considerable in terest to note that the motor-car indus-p try, in which America now leads the world, developed in Europe in quite the same way as the motorship industry, and it is not too much, to expect that once American interests become convinced that the motorship is what the Europeans think It is, American .motorship con struction and operation will- also lead the world."

Resumption of logging operations In - the Coweeman river district east of Kelso on the ex tensive scale that prevailed from 1900 to 1910 may result from the activities of- a surveying and cruising party, said to be a Weyerhaeuser outfit, which went up the Coweeman to the Mulholland last week. This party worked on the Cowee man several months last fall, laying out a logging railway route, but laid off during the winter. " The Weyerhaeuser Timber company owns the bulk of the timber land on the Coweeman watershed, although. E. S. Collins, the Ostrander Railway & Timber company, the Hammond Lumber com pany and other companies are large hold ers.

Interest in Polk Recall Election Is Growing Intense Dallas, Feb. 12. Never in 25 years has so much interest been taken in an elec tion in Polk county as that created by the approaching attempt to recall County Judge Asa B. Robinson. The West Side Pacific highway controversy, which was threshed out in court before Judge Mc Court at Portland a few months ago, and the general road problems of the county are the main issues of the cam paign. The highway issue has caused an alignment of Dallas and Independence against Monmouth and Rlckreall. with the rural sections .of the county badly divided. The north and, east districts apparently are siding with the two larger towns in opposition to the recall, while the southern and western parts of the county appear favorable to the ouster effort. Both sides . have , many workers in the field and are confident of success. Feeling Is running bo high that a num ber of personal encounters have occurred between partisans, in one Instance re sulting in a fine being paid in justice court. i , , ; . Party politics are cutting no figure in the recall campaign, both Judge Robin son and his opponent, J. F. Ulrich, be ing Democrats. ' Only one bid was received by the city council for the proposed paving of sev eral blocks of city streets. This bid was considered too high by the council and was rejected. New specifications will be drafted by the city engineer and bids will again be called for, with the hope that the street improvement may yet be done this year.' Charles H. Fox Was Prominent in .

S4 THROBS WANT ROAD TO SALVAGEBIGLOGS Trees Felled by Storm in Clallam j County Can Be Saved if Rail road Is Put in Operation.' Operation of Spruce Production railroad No. 1 in the work of salvag ing storm felled timber in Clallam county, Washington, Is contingent upon the sale or lease of the road to private interests, according to O. R. Sweetser of the local office of the Spruce Production corporation. The "railroad Is 36 miles long, extend ing westward from Disque, a station on the line of the Seattle, Port Angeles k. Western railroad, to a point on the Sol Duo river one mile southwest of Lake Tyee. The road traverses a heavily tim bered section and could be used to ad vantage by private timber owners in taking out logs, according to Sweetser. Colonel Charles Van Way, in charge of the Spruce Production corporation office here, and Captain Henry E. Walker, as sistant treasurer of the corporation, left for the East Friday, night to ; arrange for closing negotiations for the sale or lease of the property. While no an nouncement has been made of a prob able purchaser, it is known that the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul road re cently made a tentative offer tor the 3S miles of track and right of-way. The spur and siding system of Spruce Production road No. 1 would open up approximately 400 square miles of tlm berland cruising more than 10.000,000,000 feet board measure, according to reports of the spruce corporation. . The Bloedell-Donovan interests of Se attle were among the heaviest losers through the devastation of the storm which swept over the Olympic peninsula on the evening of January 29. The con cern closed negotiations that day for the purchase of 12.000 acres ot timber land from the Clallam Lumber company for a consideration of J3.000.000. The tornado which wrought havoc. In the heavily timbered areas ot Clallam county struck the coast at the mouth of the Sol . Due river within three hours after the transaction was closed. Much of the felled timber on the Bloedell Donovan tract is accessible to the rail road and to highways and could be sal vaged with comparative ease, accord ing to officials of the Spruce Production corporation.
