Captain Robert Dollar, dean of
shipping-Saturday attcmoou gave
to Portland a cheering message
"Wo will put a fast passenger and
cargo steamship line between Port
land and tnu Far East, when there Is
business to. warrant It. so quickly
that all ot you will be surprised,"
he declared. "At present there la
neither the pasenger nor the cargo
' business , to warrant such a step.
This business is going out of Port
land by other routes.
' "I real lie that the steamship must
do the pioneering- 1 have been do
ing it all my life. But you cannot
pioneer on -wind and be successful."
DOLLAR TIRKLKSS
i -Captain Dollar, far-sighted ship
ping genius ot the Pacific coast and
world, famous as a leader In ocean
transportation, has passed the four
score mark, but today he is as keen
ly active as ever. He left the Ben
son, hotel early Saturday morning
when many a third "his age were
ereeptng drowsily down to their of
fices, and started a business day
that, would wear down a man halt
as oM as he. :
j "I may be back by 6," he said as
he left the hotel. . .
He then began a round ot confer-enees,-meetings,
business calls and
.Other matters which he attended at
top speed until late In the after
noon., ; - .
' He lunched at the Arlington club
1 o'clock and with halt a strenu
ous day done, he declared gaily that
fee felt as atrongi aoi active as he
did more than 40' years ago.. He
took 10 minutes for an Interview
tad then hurried a photographer at
high speed to get his picture taken
and have It over. . . : .
' He has spent 10 days on a Inspec
tion: trip along the coast and Is aaow
on his way back to San Francisco.
He Is to leave early today.
FOORKR T1MBKR
'. Reports current In the Northwest
that Siberian lumber is ottering keen
Competition in the Japanese market
with the Pacific coast product wore
discounted " by" Captain Dollar. '.'.'- ,
"I heard these reports in Seattle
and Vancouver," Captain Dollar de
clared. "A lumber man on the
Sound told me about 'this competi
tion and I laughed. He asked me
what I was laughing tor, and I told
.him the reason was that I had had
(three , men , in, Siberia Investigating
this Tery Wty&Ztiizsz.isiiiz. i
... "Siberian stands cannot be placed
in Japan on the same basis with
lunvber from the Northwest. In the
'first place, : their timber does not
compare with that of this country.
-WihMf.would.be cens'dered a very
jpoor stand here would be a good
'one there." .
POA8T TRADE GOOD
Captain Dollar expressed the wish
'that the lumber market would go up
but . Bees little change In the Jap
anese situation, with an unfavorable
balance of trade existing, in Japan.
He declared ho believe! that Tort
land shipping men have the right
hunch Iq their belief that the pre
sent ' situation in the Intercoastal
'1(1 avber market would hold through
out the year, the first time in his
tory." The lines are booking their
lumber at $14 well through May
andi, . some Instances 14.50has
been- Obtained. '.'"'

passenger, service) - which some , of
-Kn&land's foremost and supposedly
wisest shipping men declared would
. crumble tto a grand failure, is prov
I'lng'a success, according to the plo
fnoer p'peratotv '
' "Our ,- ships carry the equal of
' throe' cargoes each complete voyage,"
..Captain Dollar declared. "Our pa3
u senger accommodations from Jap:a
:. around to the Mediterranean are ail
.'taken until through June, and.else
. "Where -this business Is correspond
ingly, gecd- The vessels are now
-making a profit." ,

John," came up to camp from town
the other night In a Ford bug. He
had driven the bug clear from Fris

LUMBER SHIMPENTS
SOUTH DECREASING
Indication of a drop in lumber
prices or a satiation of the market
or both are patent with the roport
today of the S. P. freight depart
ment that lumber shipment south
to -California has decreased consid
erably in volume.
With the opening up of the lumb
er Industry In Klamath this year,
lumber shipments were pirtlcularly
heavy.
Durir. j tio past two weeks,
OR
mm
,og-:f"nber shipments havo been falling
of gradually.
