as to the prospects of ever getting" the
Jiner Bear oft th cbeach near Cape
Mendocino, the receipt of a detailed report of her condition since she began
to show signs of breaking' up a week
aero, is being debated with interest
along the beach.
The Porter Wrecking Company, of
San Francisco, had closed a contract
with Lloyd's for either floating the
Hear or dismantling her. Under the
terms of the agreement the ship, if
floated, was to be delivered alongside
a drydock at San Francisco and the
of her
salvors would be paid

they are to retain
of the
money received for the equipment after
all expenses are paid.

in the wrecking corporation with R.

an effort to break the force ofairthe

Before the recent damage was reported
it was estimated that the Bear would

learned, but even in the present condition of the vessel efforts may be made
to get her off after temporary repairs
are made.

While the work goes on In Portland

The confidence of the Syrians and
Armenians In the efficiency of ths
American organization is shown by the
fact that donations have been made by
Syrians in Cairo, Egyrt, and forwarded

Steamers now in service being unable
to move rolls of newspaper and similar
products of the
Paper Company, the latter has closed
for the steamer Norwood to operate
between Portland and San Francisco for
two or three trips. She is due here
early this week irom Puget Sound.
A. J. Lewthwaitc, general manager
says the Norof the
wood should carry about 1200 tons, and
as there are between 2000 and 30o0 tons
of paper held on the docks, she will
clean that up. The San Francisco &
Portland Steamship Company handles
paper for the company from Portland
to San Francisco and Los Angeles, but
the loss of the steamer Bear reduced
the transportation facilities of the fleet
to such an extent that shipments have
piled up here and it was necessary to
obtain outside tonnage to help.
It Is understood the steamship company will look alter the Norwood for
the paper interests, but she will work
only paper southbound, so there will
not be space available for the accommodation of other freight. The San
Francisco & Portland line could utilize
another vessel handily for a lengthy
period, for besides the consignments
held here, much business has been declined, due to tho absence of a third
steamer. Previous to the Bear having
gone on the beach the company mainy

will be here this week to load the first
of two cargoes of wheat for San Pedro.
As with the Norwood, the Windber
would be loaded to capacity for some
time, but the demand for tonnage is
such the vessels could not be fixed for
longer periods only at rates that are regarded as prohibitive.
The North Pacific line Is operating
