THE MOKNIffG Off EG ONI AN, SATUKDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1902, BIG PLUM TO DROP Coast Cities in a Race for Transport Business. PORTLAND OUT FOR ITS SHARE Commercial Organizations Call At tention to Bid of Local Company -San Francisco in n. Panic Seattle Has Hopes. Big stakes are involved in the strife for the Government transport business. Seattle and San Franolsco are fighting each other hard. Portland has entered the contest and is determined to get recognized. Its bid for the business. -was as low as that of Seattle. Portland has facilities for the service which are su perior to any on the Coast. The plum is Q big one. Can, Portland, reach it?. The successful city v,'Ill get' a "good thing." San Francisco heretofore has had the monopoly of the business. The Gov ernment is said to have expended be tween 120,000.000 and 525.000,000 in he Bay City In each of the three years after the acquisition of the Philippines. Naturally the California metropolis wishes to keep the monopoly. It is working tooth and nail to exclude Portland and Seattle from the game. Secretary Root has resolved to dispense Tvith the present transport sys tem and to have troops and supplies con veyed to and from the Islands by com petitive contract. ' X.ast month the "War Department advertised for bids' from transportation companies. These bids were opened November 19. Only two com panies offered bids James Iaidlaw &h Co., of Portland, and Frank. "Waterhouse & Co., of Seattle, representing the Boston Steamship Company. Both bids, were J4 50 per ton for general .cargo. The Portland company did not bid for pas sengers. Secretary Root to Decide. Secretary Root will decide the Govern ment's coprse of action next f Tuesday, and if the contracts are to be let they will be awarded probably next Wednes day. He has not said that he will ac cept either bid. The Government "re serves the right to reject or accept any or all proposals, or any part thereof." But "Secretary Root admits that the contracts offered would cost the Government less than does the present transport system. Seattle's disadvantage Is that that city does not have facilities for the service. It has insufficient accommodations for sol diers, and its depot quarters are not largo enough for the .great quantity of busi ness. Portland is not thus handicapped. Its docks are amply large, and it has an Army post at Vancouver the equal of the best in the United States. Portland Is In the Game "Portland is in the game," declared a leading citizen yesterday, "in the game to win. They can't keep us out." The Chamber of Commerce yesterday sent the following telegram to Senator Mitchell at Washington: Please wire us fully lntentlqns of Govern ment regarding transport service, and Inform us what chance. If any. Is contemplated by the War Department, particularly with refer ence to adopting contract system of handling transport businejs. "We had this matter up with you last January, at which time you tel egraphed that radical change was not prob able in near future. Portland and -Seattle have made bids for transport service. "We should like to Know what they are and what disposi tion has been made of them. Our business men defelre all Information obtainable on this important subject; S. M. Mears, president of the Chamber, h? in the East. L. A. Lewis', vice-president, said last night that the Chamber would be vigorousMn looking after the interests of Portland. "What we need," said he, "is full in formation." Will Railroads Help? Can Portland look to the Harrlman railroads for help, or is it the old story of Portland fighting its way. alone? The Great Northern is backing up Seattle. That city is enthusiastic over the project. Hill is pulling hard for Puget Sound, and is working with the Boston Steamship Company. He aims to get control of trans-Pacific commerce. His railroad, act ing in unison with his steamships, can crowd out any other Coast city which does not have similar support. Portland has that support in the case of the pres ent Oriental line, but that line does not reach the Philippines. San Francisco In a Panic. San Francisco has been in a panic for a week. Already It feels its monopoly slip ping away. Frantically its representa tives In Congress have rushed to the War Department, but they have secured little comfort. "Advertise again for bids," they plead ed. But Secretary Root was obdurate. "You have had ample opportunity to bid," he replied. What the Government will do with Its transport ships Is agitating San Fran cisco. Secretary Root has said that he would lay them' up until the success of the proposed system had been proved. James J. Hill has been reported to be hatching plans to buy the transports, but he has replied: "I wouldn't have those transports for a gift." Transports Are Out of Dnte. The Government vessels could not com pete with the steamships which would run from Portland or Seattle. The vessels which would operate from Portland are of the class of the Quito, Oceano and Adato, which are well known In this city. These steamships belong to the most economical type. The Government vessels are out of date, some of them al most floating scrap plies. Hill denies that he is connected with the Boston Steamship Coiflpany, except in so far as that company may make business for the' Great Northern. He thinks that the Boston Steamship Com pany and the Great Northern combination cannot be met In competition at all, be cause no American ships in the Pacific can handle the business. Any company that should try to run the present trans ports "would go to the poorhouse." Portland's Fine Facilities. F. E. Beach, president of the Portland Board of Trade, returned yesterday from Seattle!. He said: "Seattle isn't in It with us as to fa cilities for handling the transport busi ness. Its Government depot headquarters would not be equal to the demands that would be put upon them. Besides, Port land has the cheapest produce market on the Coast. Everybody in Seattle admits this. I saw great quantities of Govern ment hay and oats In Seattle, awaiting xhipment. Most of this ame frdm the Willamette Valley. It actually passed through Portland, in order, to be shipped from Seattle "We should certainly make an effort io get this transport business. Success will be a great triumph for us. "Seattle is a growing, vigorous city, but It fails to equal Portland in many things. The contrast is very apparent. Portland's superiority is apparent, from Seattle's de pot to its hotels, city hall, public li brary and everything else. I cite these only as examples. I trust our superior advantages will win for us -a -share of the transport business." The San Francisco VIctv. The San Francisco view Is expressed in the following from the Examiner: "How Important this -transport trade has been to San Francisco it is hardly necessary to demonstrate in figures, for every merchant knows that since the Spring of 1S38 it-has been the main factor In reviving trade, which "was then at a very low ebb. It has brought about a re markable change in the growth of San Francisco's population. . It has attracted realty buyers and investors from all over the Union. It has Increased the value of real estate not less than 20 per cent. It has caused a mpst remarkable Increase in building. The wholesale districts of the city are filling with, substantial ware houses. The retail portions of the .city are being filled with .new and handsome store and office buildings. Large hotels, flats by the hundreds, residences by the score, are belnu put up, all .evidences of Increased business and confidence in San Francisco's future. The transport busi ness has been worth millions of dollars a year to this city, and it is these mil lions that are accountable to a very large degree for all the developments noted. "The customs revenue collections are to a certain extent an evidence of the growth of trade. In 1S97 there were paid on duties in this city $5,198,303. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1900, the amount was ?5,90S,GS5, and- for the year endingJ June 30, 1S02, $7,50G.4S1. These figures snow an increase of about 50 per cent for the five 'years. "While all the figures are not at hand to make exact comparisons between the HIGH PRELATE HERE Rev. Dr. Zahm, Head of Notre Dame, Arrives.

C. - Robert Leisrhton, who is now in Portland, aiding in . the establishment of the proposed Portland Fair and Speed Association, is secretary of the Vancouver Jockey Club and secretary of the North Pacific Fair Association, and is a well-known horse fancier In the Pacific Northwest. He has been In. Portland for several days, and has completed tho arrangements for the new club. The articles of Incorpora tion are being drawn up, and as soon as they are filed, the city will .be canvassed for stock. At the. present time, a good amount Is known to be pledged, and the club has every appearance of being successful. The Portland Hunt Club will hold a meeting tonight to take action on the matter of rendering aid to the new organization. .... .. - .-,.... exports and imports for the years 1S97 to 1902; sufficient are' available to show what a difference there is in this city's trade. m The Government statistics from which the' figures are taken Include -up to June 14, 1300, the merchandise Imports and exports of Hawaii in the district of San Fran cisco. These amounted to from $4,000,000 to $6,000,000 a year, and taking the mean of $5,000,000 a fair approximation may be reached. This would give San Francisco's total exports before the war as about $31, C00.OO0, and the total Imports about $29, 400,000. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1902, the total exports were $3S.200,000 and the total imports $35,100,000, an in crease in the former of $3,600,000 and In the latter of $5,700,000. "The question for the merchants and business men of- San Francisco to consid er is: Shall this trade go to Seattle and the Sound?" Seattle Has Hopes. The hopes of the Puget Sound metrop olis are expressed in the following from the Times: "Mr. Frank Waterhouse, representing the Boston Steamship Company, which had the lowest bid for the transportation of all Government supplies and troops sent from the Pacific Coast to the Philippines, Is now en route to Washington City, hav ing departed some days since, and should be in the National capital tomorrow. "The object of Mr. Waterhouse's trip, it is alleged, is a further conference with the authorities relative to his company's bidv The bid covered all tho salient points, from a business point of view, but there are many other features which the authorities wish to go into before taking action. These features can only be reached by a prolonged interview, and this necessitated Mr. Waterhouse making the trip East. "The belief is generally taking firm hold of those officials In a position to form an, honest opinion from their Judgment of' trade conditions that Seattle will get tho Government business. It is realized that tho 'pull' which San Francisco and Cali fornia will exert to do her Northern rival injury Is tremendous. There Is also the influence of the Southern transcontinental railroads, which will surely do all in their power to keep the business for their own lines, and. against this array of force it is acknowledged that the competition will be the keenest known for years, but from the vital points of the issue, which are decidedly" in Seattle's favor, it Is judged that the authorities can .do nothing else than award the business" to the Boston Steamship Company." DRUMMER FACES CHARGE Sol Ransohoff Is Arrested for Alleged Embezzlement. Sol Ransohoff, a drummer, wanted at Olympia on a charge of embezzlement of samples and sample cases belonging to the Pasco Woolen Mills, was taken back yesterday morning by Sheriff Mills, of that place. The officer had taken the pre caution to bring requisition papers, but they were not needed, as -the prisoner ex pressed a willingness to return and face the charge. He- is said to have sold the goods .for $350 and appropriated the money to his bwn use. "Ranatihoff was arrested at The Dalles olflp3day by Sheriff Sexton, at the Co liiB Hotel, and was brought to Port lallp where the Washington officer was waiting "for him. The police in Portland were notified some time ago to look out for Ransohoff, und, after some search, ascertained that he was drumming for a clothing establishment on Washington street, and that he had gone to Troutdale. It was also learned that he would visit The Dalles, and consequently the author ities at that place were instructed to ar rest him. For a Bnd Cold.

For sale by all drucrists. pose of inspecting1 Columbia University and of getting Improvements, and will re main. in Portland four or five days. The train on which Dr. Zahm came across the continent was greatly delayed, and instead of arriving early yesterday morning, according to schedule, he put Ui a belated appearance last -night. On his arrival he was met with a cablegram call ing him to Europe, and instead of spend ing 10 days here his visit will be cut short to four or five. Dr. Zahm has been in Portland a num ber of times, the first being In 1SS3, when he was on his way to Alaska. Speaking of this trip last night, he said: "When I came out in 18S5 I met an editor of a paper called the Times, I think, and he treated me very nicely. I went on up to Alaska with an excursion, visited Juneau, and what Interested me very greatly, the fa mous Treadwell mine. I was very much Interested in the mining Interests and de velopment of that great territory, and when I got back to Portland my friend the editor came to see me. I told him about the trip, and did not think any more about it till the next morning, when he had me spread over two columns, and all of it was about the mines In Alaska. When I got back East I found that fame had gone before me, and that everybody was Interested in my two columns about mines. Capitalists came- from Chicago and Cleveland and asked me if it were all true, and they made a great stir about it. Now, that's what I call the power of the press," the doctor concluded, with a chuckle. "Later I wrote a series of articles on Alaska for the Rocky Mountain News, of Denver, and when ;the first Governor of Alaska Territory sent his message to Con gress he embodied all these articles In it "The business I came West for was to see Columbia University. We will do all we can for the university, and will make it the Notre Dame of the West in time, equal to anything on the Coast I want to see a school of law, a school of medicine and a school of technology, including elec tricity, mining and civil engineering. These things will come as soon as we can arrange for them, and the people of the City of Portland and of tho State of Oregon can rest assured that we will have a university that both the city and the state and the whole Coast may be proud of. "We hope to have permanent dormitories for the students and a fine fireproof library at a very early date, 'all of which improve ments will add greatly to the equipment of the university. There is no reason why we should not have a great univer sity in Portland, if we only try. There are rich cities in Washington and Oregon to draw from, and Portland is ah ideally situated place for the location. I have not been down to the Park yet, but will go tomorrow. I know that it's a fine place, and that we will do all we can for it "The receipt of the cablegram calling me to Europe will cause me to spend a much shorter time In this city than I at first intended. I don't know why I am called, but I have an .idea that it is on account of . the recent order in France which calls .for the suppression of religious societies. The French government has been very persistent in persecuting soci eties, and the order that has been issued for their suppression will affqctL no less than 60 orders, with several hundred thou sand members, even including the Sisters of the Sacred Heart This order was is sued about two years ago, and since that time the -work has been, going on very steadily. The purpose is, I suppos. to see that education is carried on without being influenced by religion. They have been very systematic, and the result will be to drive many thousands of these teachers to America. Already word has been issued to the American orders to see that preparations are made for the recep tion of the French people when they are forced to come, which may be any day now. v "Italy attempted this same action many years ago, and succeeded In driving out many of the .orders, but their laws were not -nearly so drastic aa those at present in operation in France, and they did not work such hardship. I will probably go immediately to France when I leave here." RURAL ROUTES POPULAR 3Inil Business in Gresham Vicinity ' Increasing- as Result.' GRESHAM, Or., Dec. 5. (Special.) The two rural routes now in operation here handled 10,911 pieces of mail matter during November. The business of the routes has been steadily increasing, as has also the business done at the post office. The large increase of population, caused by the influx of railroad contract ors, has helped considerably to increase the business of the postoffice, but there has been a steady Nand, healthy growth ever since the routes were first organized, nearly two. years ago. Two mail-box agents have been in the field here for the past three weeks, selling new boxes for the old routes, which are required to make a change, and getting t subscribers in the territory .of the proposed new routes which are to be established sqpn. When in operation the five routes will traverse over 100 miles of roads and cover an area of about 60 square miles. About BOO mall boxes will be in use from the start "but this number will increase when several existing postoffices have been dis continued. Railroad Jfenrinsr Greshnm. Railroad work is being pushed with all possible vigor, operations being continued every day, including Sundays, rain or shine. The force has been divided Into five camps, with adequate crews for each kind of work. The advance force clears away all obstructions and is followed by the graders, who are in turn followed by track-layers. Ralls for the dump cars to run on are being hauled outhere on wagons at present, but it Is more than probable that the .construction train will reach here next week. It Is at work within two miles of here today. Track would have been laid to Gresham this week but for a bad place two miles from the town, where the fill sinks as fast as it is put in. This difficulty is being rap idly overcome, and the iron horse will be due here in a few days more. A saddle horse being ridden by two boys named Phil Harvey and Ransford ThorpJ was killed one dark night this week. The boys rode into a rig driven by Delia Gould, the shaft piercing the horse's neck for about a foot. v A large quantity of potatoes still re main in the ground, their owners being unable to get th'em out on account of the rain. It will be impossible to dig some of the fields until Spring, but if the ground does not freeze too -deep, the potatoes will be just as good then as now. RAISES FOXES IN ALASKA S. Applesnte Has a Prosperous Fur Business in the North. S. Applegate, who was in the Weather Bureau service for many years, arrived In Portland yesterday from Alaska, where -he has made his home for the past 25 years. , He was seen at the Custom-House while paying his respects to Forecast Of ficial Beals. ' "I live in Dutch Harbor, and am In the sealing business at present," he said. "The law prohibiting sealing within the 60-mlle limit is a farce, for while American and Canadian sealers are excluded, no provision is made against the Russian and Japanese boats, and consequently many sealers fly ing the flag "of Japan are owned and manned by Americans and; Canadians. Several years ago I transplanted a number of blue foxes from the Pribylof Islands to a smalhi island of which I have control west of Unimak Island, one of the Aleu tian chain. These foxes proved a most profitable investment for they take care of themselves and their furs command a high price, in the London market. My skins brought the best price of any that came from Alaska, but I find that ,the quality is deteriorating on; account of the different climate from which the animals have been accustomed. The best skins bring $40, and from that down to $20 or $25. "We raise all kinds of vegetables in Dutch Harbor, and nowhere have I seen better' turnips and such roots than we have there."

WISE DISCUSSES NEW MOVEMENT N JUDAISM. He Declares Both the Ark and the Helirew Language to Be Non- V essentials of the Worship. "Both the ark and the Hebrew slanguage are nonessentials in a Hebrew house of worship," said Dr. Stephen S. Wise in his sermon, "A Movement in Judaism; Is There to JBe a Schism In Israel?" at the Temple Beth Israel last evening. Dr. Wise first described the new movement, which has sprung up in London, the Jew ish Religious Union. The orthodox Jews have strongly opposed the union, saying that In its first meeting held recently, the. dignity of an old-time Jewish service was lacking, that the Hebrew language was largely eliminated from the service that the hymns were such as might be sung by those of any religion, and lastly, that there was no ark. Dr. Wise rather fav ored the "movement and defined the es sentials of Jewish worship. "The ark and the Hebrew language are Nonessent ials in a Hebrew house of worship," said he. "They are not, however, superfluities.' and there is a vast difference between the two. For instance, the roof of my house is absolutely essential, while tho furniture in tho house is a superfluity. The essent ials are the things without which true Judaism cannot exlat. If I thought that the ark and the Hebrew language were essential, I should battle for their abo lition. "I wish to do justice to the new move ments Its promoters say that the old service is not attractive, and that its pur pose should be to bring back the disloyal rather than to aid the loyal to continue In their loyalty. What are you and I doing to bring the Ideals of Judaism Into our homee? "This church, the largest' Jewish organ ization in the Northwest, is -one of the few In the country that has adapted the essentials of Judaism to the needs of the present day." , Dr Wise then touched on the absence of the young men from the synagogue, and its reason. "Why must a man be dead or married before he can join the temple? Why do the managers of this church and of other churches shut out the young men? If. I should suggest that every Jewish young man 21 years old in Portland should join the temple, I woujd be laughed at. It is spiritual fratricide. We have modernized the service, have instituted the choir and the organ and have a more simple, rea sonable, beautiful service than before. I have the old-fashioned idea thatIt is a good thing for young men to attend the synagogue and yet they stay away be cause nothing Is done to bring them." The new movement was again spoken of in closing. "The Jewish Religious Union may bring strife among the Jews, but I would rather it would be Warfare than the continued reign of Indifference.'"
