TWENTY SHIPS
TO BE LAID UP
Old Square Risgsrs Run Foul
OF the Modern Idea of
Using Oil.

PORTLAND, Aug. 31.--The American
ship c. F. Sargent arrived up from AS
toria Friday and will commence dis
charging her inward cargo Tuesday.
after it is discharged, the vessel will
probably go into retirement to await
the return of higher freights. There is
little profit in the lumber business, even
for the modern built. economically OPP
Grated schooners which have taken the
place of the square-riggers in this trade
and the owners of the Sargent will have
difficulty in securing anything else but
lumber from northern port. The Sar-
gent is one of the victims of the oil
discoveries in California, as she was
for many years in the coal carrying
trade, which has now been cut down
to small proportions on account of the
advent of the new fuel
The Sargent is wooden ship, and is
accordingly not adapted for the wheat
trade, so that her sphere of usefulness
on the high seas is limited Formerly
there was fairly good business from
North Pacific ports in taking lumber
down to Australia and returning with
coal Now the coal business is at low
ebb, and what little there is is handled
by British and German ships coming up
from the Antipodes at ballast rates, in
the hopes of picking up freight on ar
rival on the Pacific coast. The Cali
fornia Shipping Company owns about
20 ships of the same type as the c. F.
Sargent, and the Oregonian says it is
reported that the entire fleet will be
laid up until there is a recovery in
freights. Captain Gammons is in COM
mand of the Sargent

Oil as Ocean Fuel

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-Although
the official report of Lieutenant Winch
ell, who was detailed to accompany the
oil-burning steamer Mariposa on her
recent trip from San Francisco to the
Society Islands and return for the pur-
pose of making a comprehensive report
upon every feature of the oil burning
devices used by the steamer, has not
yet reached the navy department, I'M
official data have arrived which are
considered very satisfactory to those
interested. The run from San Fran
cisco to Tahiti is 343S knots. 1t was
made by the Mariposa at the rate of
1912 knots per hour, the whole run last
ing II days, during which a little over
400 tons of oil were consumed. The
number of pounds of oil per knot used
on the run was 26O.9, which is equiva-
lent to SIS knots per ton of oil. 1t re-
quired 1.55 pounds of oil per hour to
develop one horse power. This is con-
stdered quite satisfactory, as under or
binary seagoing conditions it requires
between 245 and 8 pounds of coal to de-
velop one horse power

MEN
MUST BE GOOD
Collector StackabIe Read Riot Act
to Men Over Non-Paying
of Bills.

A sensation has been caused in Gus
tom House circles during the past few
days over the action of the Collector,
Mr.. Stackable, with reference to bills
owed by members of the Customs force.
Mr.. Stackable is not saying anything
about the matter to reporters now and
the men are saying but little, but ac-
cording to the latter several bills were
filed with the Collector on the first of
the month with requests that he assist
their senders to collect money from
members of the force who had drawn
their salaries for ,ne month but had
refused to pay. Mr.. Stackabie called
the men together in small patches and
virtually read the riot act to them.
On Wednesday, September 3rd, he
read to the men a circular letter which
he had prepared in which it is stated
that he informed them that bills owed
by the men had been presented to him
boarding house bills to whiskey bills
and that the Department did not in
tend to maintain persons in its employ
whose habits were not correct during
official hours or otherwise. He limited
that the Customs office had not been
established here as a collection agency,
and that while he remained as Collector
of Customs in Honolulu he did not in
tend to hold men in their positions who
refused to pay their honest debts.
1t is related by the men that part of
effect that after the first of next month
any complaints, which he found to be
true, which should be filed against the
men of the service would be sent on
to the Secretary of the Treasury with
a recommendation that they be separat-
ed from the service.
The men say that they recognize thai

trif1ed with in this matter They viii

the man got a fair show to start ever

the ears of some eighty men all toll
and there was considerable common
over them.

sued by the Treasury Department
which arrived by the last mail, wa
posted about the Custom House. Thi
states that the Department will fire
men who refuse to pay their debts whe
proof to that effect is offered to it.

Tricky Boarding House Keepers

The sailor boarding house keepers of
Portland are becoming very active in
inducing sailors to desert their ships on
arrival at that northern port. During
two weeks there were 80 assertions
from vessels at Portland, and two ships
lost nearly their entire crews during
one night. The boarding house masters
have raised the price of sailors and are
now charging $65 per man for ships
