HARD TIME OF DREDGERS
IN SUNDAYS BIG STORM

assistance of the Reclamation about
2:30. She plunged and cavorted about
in the channel like a bucking cayuse.
Her decks streamed with sea, which
went over her bow. AS she neared the
Reclamation the big scow-drelge was
seen to be heaving and plunglng dan
gerously. At times the entire scow
was buried under masses of water. The
'1adder' creaked and groaned as the
dredger lifted it out of the water. The
heavy overhang of the ladder and the
sudden jerking kept the steel guys and
hawsers at the straining point.
The dredger's captain and crew were
standing by watching closely every
movement made by the "ladder," for
upon its fate also depended the fate
of the craft. Captain Mosher brought
the tug around to the stern of the
Reclamation, the "ladder' being
termed the bow. A line was thrown to
the dredger, towing hawser was
hauled aboard and bride was made
fast.
AS the tug began pulling and yawing
at the unwieldy craft, the steel lines
holding the Reclamation to the buoy
were cast loose. The tugs propeller
churned the water. the tug often being
pulled back as heavy seas held the
scow. But, finally, steam got the bet
ter of the elements and the dredger
was swung to the middle of the chan
mel and brought steadily into the har-
Dor. She was taken down to the Rail
way Wharf No. ? and moored at the
stern of the Kaiulani.
There was good work all around yes
terday considering the nasty state of
the weather.
Early in the evening Young Bros,
with a couple Of launches and the Kae-
ma, took hold of the Pacific and held
her firmly and eventually hauled her
away across the channel to a place of
entire safety, where she was to ride
the storm out through the night.
Captain OLSEN got in touch with the
dredger people late in the afternoon
and was advised of how things were,
and he held himself in readiness to re-
spond to any further call for aid.

JAPAN WANTS
GREAT HARBOR

WASHINGTON, December d.-That
the japanese are a far-seeing race is
shown by the way they build for the
future. Consul Sharp of Kobe has
sent to the Department of Commerce
and Labor a clipping from the Chroni-
Gle, a japanese paper printed in Eng
lish, which deals with the determina-
ton of the japanese to have a large
harbor that will rival Shanghai, Hong
kong, or even large Western cities.
Mr.. Takugaro, a leading citizen of
Osaka. thinks it is time for Japan to
move forward. He points to the work
in the past of Europeans and Amer
leans in building up trade on the At
lantic, and contends the same thing Is
possible on the Pacific. America, Chi
ma, Japan, India and Australia are the
lands visibly interested in the era open
ing in the Orient and on the Pacific.
The country or countries favorably
for trade, he says, are sure
to be benefited by every movement for
ward. Japan is already doing busi-
ness with the principal countries on the
Pacific, and is eagerly looking forward
10 the time when it will be able to ex-
tend it's trade into all parts of the
world To do this it will need facil-
itfes for handling, forwarding, recefv-
ing and transporting goods. Panama,

Mr.. Nakahashi thinks, is to be the
leading port on the Pacific followed
in Importance by San Francisco. Seat
tie, Vancouver and Portland. No i'm
portant port is possible on the South
American coast, for geographical con-
ditions will not permit it. In Asia.
Hongkong, Shanghai, Osaka, Manila
and Dalny are to be the ports, and i'm
portant in the order indicated. All
of these are capable of being improv-
ed and doubtless will be as trade in
creases.
Discussing the relative advantages
of the several principal commercial
ports of the East Mr.. Nakahashi says:
Manila will not, despite the desires
and efforts of Americans, develop into
first-cIass tradal port owing to the
fact, apart from the torrid climate, it
has neither factories of Importance
nor a large field for inland trade,
while, as an intermediate port for
China. Japan, or Korea, the distance
is too great and fuel too dear. The
same may be said Of Dalny to a GER
tain extent with the only exception in
it's favor that as a terminus of a
50o-n1ile railway, mails and certain
class of travellers will pass through
the place. But so long as railway
freight can not successfully compete
with steamships and Eastern Siberia
and Northern Manchuria remain more
densely populated than Southern Man
churia. Dalny will remain a second
class tradaI port It is therefore only
Hongkong. Shanghai and Osaka which
possess qualifications that will enable
them to develop into important COM
merciaI enporiums in East Asia"

NEW SHIPS FOR ORIENTAL TRADE

SEATTLE, Dec. 30.-The Chargeuer
Steamship Co, a French corporation,
will operate after the first of the year
a line of steamers between old world
points and Portland and San Fran
cisco. The ships will load at Havre,
Dunkird and Swansea, coming to the
Pacific Coast by way of the Suez
Canal with many stops in the Orient.
Returning the ships will sail down the
Pacific, taking freight for Mexico and
Central American points. In South
America cargo will be taken on for
the home points.
The company operates forty steam
ers ranging from 1900 to 5000 tons. The
first steamer will reach San Francisco
about January II and will then pro-
ceed to Portland and Puget Sound. A
large amount of wheat will be taken
on at Portland. Lumber and wheat
will be the cargo that the freighters
will load at Portland and Puget Sound.
