COAST SHIPPING BEING REVIVED
 AT PORTLAND

PORTLAND, Ore, May 27 (by As sociated Press) ).-Foreign and coast wise shipping out of Portland, de- moralized during the war; is rapidly being restored and the port is re- ported to be we'll on it's way toward realization of the gain that appeared inevitable as a result of the open ing of the Panama canal route.
 Before the war Portland had @ tramp steamship service running about 120 steamers year, besides varying number of sailing craft, two Suez canal steamer services via the Orient, the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company and the Hamburg American, and occasional calls by three other lines operating through the Panama canal to European ports.
 In the inter-coast service, Portland had the American-Hawaiian and Occa- sional ships from other companies. In the cOastwise service there were two strong passenger and freight lines operating between Portland and San Francisco, and three steam schooner lines handling freight.
 The Offshore lines, being controlled by belligerents, all disappeared dur ing the war. The inter-coast service also was absolutely stopped. Immediately after the close of hos tilities, this community started upon an insistent campaign to restore it's shipping. Today the port has the fol- lowing connections:
 Pacific Steamship Company-Six vessels operating between Portland, Japan, Shanghai, Hongkong and Ma nila, giving fortnightly service.
 Columbia Pacific Shipping Com- pany-Five vessels just being put on the run to operate between Port land, Sahnghai Tsingtau, Tientsin and Dairen, to maintain a semi monthly service.
 Toyo Risen Kaisha-A freight ser vice to be inaugurated July i, slight ly better than monthly service at the commence and to serve first Japan only in the Orient, with promise of extension to north China ports if business warrants.
