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."

COWEEMAX RIVER DISTRICT

Kelso, Wash., Feb. 12. 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. Mostof the timber within logging
distance of the Coweeman- has been
logged, but billions of feet of .timber
would be opened to transportation by a
railway. . . , j ,

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.'

Operation of Spruce Production
railroad No. 1 in the work of salvag

the line of the Seattle, Port Angeles k.

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.
