I COAST SHIPPING
BEING REVIVED j
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 well on its 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 a
tramp steamship service running
about 120 steamers a year, besides
a 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 its
shipping. Today the port has the fol
lowing connections:
Pacific Steamship Company—Six
vessels operating between Portland,
Japan, Shanghai, Hongkong and Ma
nila, giving a 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 Raisha—A freight ser
vice to be inaugurated July 1, 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.
Java Pacific Line—To inaugurate
a service about July with outbound
loadings of approximately monthly
intervals at commence with promise
of loadings both ways as soon as
cargo develops.
On the European and Atlantic sea
board routes, six companies are now
operating, as follows:
William Dimon & Co.—A triangle
service, Atlantic seaboard to the Pa
cific, including Portland, thence load
ing via Panama canal to Europe and
returning to the Atlantic seaboard.
Isthmian Line—Has just inaugurat
ed service from Atlantic seaboard to
Vancouver, B. C., then loading from
the North Pacific to Europe and re
turn to Atlantic seaboard. This pro
vides better than a monthly service.
Pacific Steamship Company—Hand
ing cargo from Atlantic to Pacific
ports in connection with the delivery
of vessels, on this side.
Columbia Pacific Shipping Com
pany—Handling cargo from the At
lantic to the Pacific in connection
with delivery of vessels on this side.
Pacific Mail Steamship Company—
Offering definite space for continuous
cargo movement from Atlantic to Pa
cific with prospect of return service,
and a survey is in progress as to the
advantage of serving this port.
Luckenbach Steamship Company—
Handling cargo from Atlantic to Pa
cific and also conducting an inquiry
as to the possibility of a fixed ser
vice based upon reciprocal cargo
movement.
The Societe Generale d’Transports
Maritimes a Vapeur—Has recently in
■ . M !■——■■linn I—■■■. ~~
augurated a service between North
Pacific ports, including Portland, and
Mediterranean points. The initial ef
forts seems to insure a permanent
steamship connection.
Four other services have been^ prac
tically agreed to and the community,
through regularly organized channels,
is expected to be able to cover them
if private agencies do not.
f
Applications have been made for
two other services which have not i
been arranged and they may not be
realized. Five of the services that
are established are by shipping board
allocated boats and a portion of the
others that are planned will be
through the use of such vessels.
The Japanese were not serving this
port by any regular line business
but only through occasipnal tramps.
Their first entry with a fixed line
in here will be with the advent of
the T. K. K. about July 1.
Comparison of Japanese tonnage
and American ships doing tramp busi
ness now shows the percentage is
much higher with the Japanese ves
sels.
SHIPPING FROM TACOMA
HOLDS OWN AT LEVEL OF
DAYS PREVIOUS TO WAR
TACOMA, May 27 (by Associated
Press).—Tacoma, fifth city in the
United States in the manufacture of
flour, has more than held its own in
shipping facilities following the shift
ing conditions brought about by the
ending of the war. Alteration of
trade routes to the present time have
brought back several foreign shipping
lines formerly operating out of Ta
coma, but the advent of new Amer
ican steamship lines have more than
made up for this foreign loss. How
ever, in this connection the old lines
give promise of an early resumption
of service which will give added out
lets for the exports of Tacoma to Eu
rope and Oriental ports.
Unlike some of the coast cities
which obtained much of their activity
during the war through a boom
brought by military necessity and
then discovered a cessation of work
upon the signing of the armistice,
this condition did not -affect Tacoma.
Tacoma had four large wooden ship
yards in operation during the war.
These are now closed, but the one
big steel yard which commenced op
erations at that time still has gov- l
eminent contracts on hand and com- 1
Oined with naval construction will be
in certain operation for at least two
years. It employs 5,000 men.
At the present time this port is
donnected to the Orient by the Paci
fic Steamship line; the Garland; the
Struthers & Dixon, and A. M. Gil
lespie & Co., while Japanese lines in
the trade out of here are the Osaka
Shosen Kaisha, the terminus being
Tacoma; the Nippon Yusen Kaisha,
the Mitsui lines and other vessels en
gaged in a tramp service. The Grace,
General Steamship Company and the
Campagnie De Boleo give Tacoma
a direct service to ports of Mexico,
Peru and Chile on the west coast of
South America, while the new line in
augural ed by Swayne & Hoyt will
reach to the River Platte on the
east coast via the Straits of Magellan.
The islands of the Pacific are reached
from Tacoma by the Matson line
which gives a regular service to Hon
olulu, while the General. Steamship
Company will go to Australian ports
from Tacoma.
The Blue Funnel line and the Har
rison line are planning a direct ser
vice from Tacoma to Europe. This
service, formerly one of the features
from Tacoma, was discontinued as
the result of the war.
The service now from Tacoma by
American vessels is about the same
as that of Japanese lines where be
fore the war the trade was handled
entirely by Japanese or British bot
toms. During the month of April
this year four Japanese vessels took
cargoes from Tacoma to the Orient
and the same number of American
ships sailed.
In connection with the foreign
trade from Tacoma, conditions for
new business is most optimistic, it is
said. New port development here
will give better cargo handling facil
ities. This is attracting old lines as
well as new where the operators de
sire expeditious handling of cargo.
