Lumber, Apples and Beer Also
In -tli e Hold.
The Portland-&. Asiatic liner Indravelli
will leave down at daylight" this morning
for Hong Kong and way ports with the
largest flour cargo ever shipped out of the
Columbia River. It consists of 54,184 bar
rels, which Is 1603 barrels larger than the
cargo taken, out by the Indrasahma Octo
ber 27, which heretofore held the record.
The bulk of the flour on the Indravelli is
for Hong Kong, and the remainder is con
signed to merchants at Yokohama, Moji,
Kobe and Shanghai. The total value of
the flour aboard the steamer Is $176,099.
There are also 9S6 bales of cotton 550 for
Mojl. 336 for Kobe, and 100 for Yokohama
and 112,210 feet of lumber, principally for
Hong Kong. The apple shipments begun
some time ago continue, with 539 boies
for Yokohama, Kobe, Hong Kong, Naga
saki and Shanghai. Other Items on the
steamer's manifest are 125 casks of beer,
433S pounds of news paper, 65 sacks of
shells, 65 cases o fruit and a quantity of
glass, hardware, paper-makers' felt, but
ter, cotton bags and hardware. The total
value of the ship's cargo is $236,859.
The Indravelli gets away a week later
than her scheduled date for sailing. She
was delayed In arriving here by, rough
weather on the Pacific, and the storms of
the past few days made the work of load
ing her slow.

POSTON MAY LEAVE PORTLAND.
Will Probably Become Superinten
dent of Pacific Coast Company.
Several changes are announced In the
official roster of the Pacific Coast Com
pany, the headquarters of which Is in
Seattle. J. C. Ford, formerly assistant
general manager, has been promoted to
the position of vice-president and general
manager, and' "W.. E. Pearce has gons -up
from superintendent of coal agencies to
assistant general manager. This leaves a
vacancy In the office of superintendent of
coal agencies, and It Is said that N. Pos
ton, who has been Portland agent of the
Pacific Coast Company for several shears,
will receive appointment to that office.
He is now at Seattle, in charge of the
work, during the absence of Mr. Pearce
on a trip In California. Mr. Poston has
taken great interest In the coal business,
and Is one of the best informed men on
the Pacific Coast In that Industry.
With the Fleet at Sand Inland.
Captain Mil man, of the British ship
Crown of Denmark, one of the fleet of
loaded vessels lying at the mouth of the
river waiting for a chance to cross out.
writes an interesting letter to a friend
here of the uninteresting situation down
where he is. The ship is anchored at
Sand Island, and near him are the Mor
ven, Copley. Ancenls. Magdalene and
Madagascar. The weather for the past
few days had been a raging gale, making
communication between the ships and the
shore almost an impossibility. The, tum
bling bar was in plain sight, and the low
moaning of the breakers was always to be
heard, except when it was drowned by the
shrieking of the wind. Altogether condi
tions were most unpleasant, especially to
a skipper whose ship was all ready for sea
and all aboard were looking anxiously for
a change of the wind or a subsidence of
the storm which would permit them to
cross out.
Jettisoned Part of Cargo.
PORT TOWNSEND. Wash.. Dec. 5. The
uchooner Polaris, which sailed from Ever
ett for San Pedro November 29, was towed
In this morning with 11 feet of water In
her hold. She reports having jettisoned
part of her deckload December 3, 40 miles
outside of Cape Flattery.
The Polaris was caught In the heavy
storms which have been making things In
teresting for shipping all along the coast
during the past 10 days, and, laboring
heavily, was strained and sprung a leak.
In order to save the vessel from becom
ing entirely water-logged and unmanage
able, part of the deckload was sacrificed.
The Polaris Is a new vessel.
Reports Death of Two Sailors.
ASTORIA. Dec 5. (Special.) The Brit
ish ship Foylesdale, Captain Kerry, which
arrived In yesterday from Liverpool, re
ported the . accidental death of two mem
bers of the crew during the passage. Gab
riel Calllt fell from aloft while the; vessel
was still iri the Mersey, shortly after
leaving port, and was killed. He was
burled the next day at sea. While the
vessel was In the South Atlantic and sail
was being made after a. storm, Alfred
Waterhouse also fell from aloft and .was
killed. He was burled at sea the next
day.
Procyon Leaking: at Bahla.
BAHIA. Dec 5. The British bark Pro
cyon. Captain James, which -sailed from
San Francisco August 10, bound to Queens
town, has put Into port with the loss of
her compass, 3 boat and some sails. She
reports having jettisoned 30 tons of her
cargo. While mooring here she went
aground. She is leaking at the rate of
half an Inch per hour. A survey will be
held.-
Volcanic Dust.
The collection of curios in the office of
local. United States Inspectors Edwards
and Fuller has been Increased by 'the ad
dition of two bottles of -volcanic dust from
Guatemala. Thcsr ;were sent by Cap
tain Guthrie. Assistant Inspector o$ Hulls
at San Francisco. The dust is from the
volcano of Santa Maria, and fell on the
deck" of the German steamer Luxor while
she was passing up the Guatemalan, coast
at the time of the recent eruption. It Is
a whitish sort tf stuff, somewhat resem
bling white pepper. The first fall was
while the steamer was 105 miles at sea,
and the dust is of the fineness of flour.
The second lot came down while the
Luxor was-70 miles distant from the coast,
and this dust 'is of a coarser grain and
quite gritty.
Steamer Barned at Her Dock.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec 5. The Boston &
Philadelphia' Company's steamer Saxon

Postofflce Inspector T. J. Flavin, in the
complaint, charges young Ehlers and an
other boy with using the box of J. B.
Kauffman.of MontavlUa, as a target, and
states that they defaced it seriously -with
their shots. Nearly all of the boxes on
the Cleone route, to "which Kauffman's
belongs, have been damaged In the same
way. and Edward Ehlers was finally
caught In the act. After the hearing yes

Bis Contracting? Firm Falls.
BOSTON, Dec. 5. Serious delay to mu

occur "by the failure here today of the
contracting firm ot F. G. Coburn & Co.,
one of the largest firms of Its kind in the
East. The liabilities are estimated at
$150,000, one-half of which Is due to the
Central National Bank. The assets are
.about JG2.O00. The company is building
two hospitals for the City ot Boston xmd
two great 6hops at the Charlestown navy
yard for the United States Government.
The failure Is attributed to the closing of

COAST COUNTIES GROWING
PORT ORFORD FEELS THE TOUCH
OF PROSPERITY.
Golden Opportunities for Investment
la Unoccupied Farming; Lands
of Tillamook County.
PORT ORFORD, Or., Dec. 2. (Special
correspondence.) It would be Impossible
to write in an optimistic spirit If the
writer had never seen, from actual ex
perience, what changes will take place
in a country in a few years, when Its ad
vantages are made known, Its wants ad
vertised and resources developed. This
country has resources, but they cannot
2e made to yield their full'proflt until cap
ital, and large capital, takes hold of such
enterprises as will facilitate trade . and
manufacture. The writer well remembers
when in Eastern Oregon, traveling for
miles" among t'he rolling hills, covered
with bunchgrass, pot one foot of which
was owned by any one, and Hearing the
residents of the country say "a man would
THE ASYLUM MEDICAL
SALEM.
SALEM. Or.. Dec 5. (Special.)
. Dr. A. E. Tamlesle. who was yes
terday elected to All the new posi
tion on the medical staff or" the
Oregon State Insane Asylum, is a
racjlclng physician in this city.
He Is a native of Iowa, but has re
dded In this state and Washington
for 18 years. After finishing a
course of study in pharmacy, he
practiced as a druggist for six
years, and then took the medical
course at Willamette University,
graduating In 1002. During the last
two years of his medical course he
served as house Dhyslclan at the
Salem Hospital. Immediately fol
lowing his graduation he went to
New York and took a course In the
New York Post-Graduate School and
' Hospital. Late last Summer he re-
turned to Salem, and began the '
practice of his profession.
Dr. Tamlesle Is one of the most
popular young men In this city, and
Is the recipient of many congratu
lations upon bis appointment. .It
has been the policy of the Board of
Trustees of the' Insane asylum to
make no chances- In the medical
staff of that Institution unless the
welfare of the Institution demands
starve to death trying to farm such land";
but It is only 20 years ago, and now all
that country Is under fence, the yelds of
grain are enormous, and branch railroads
have been built to handle the cross, and
thriving towns have spruns up as if by
magic. ,
What has been done will be done again,
and there are thousands of acres of land
lying vacant amonjr the mountains here
that will seme day be owned and be made
into farms for contented and happy peo
ple. The, writer remembers when the falls
of White River. In Wasco County, were
admired "for their beauty, making a "com
bined leap In several falls of more than
200 feet, but no one ever suggested that
the power going to waste could ever be
utilized; but today electric wires are
carrying 1000 horsepower from White
River Fall's to The Dalles, a distance of
27 miles, and there is power and to spare
for making The Dalles a manufacturing
city.
As I go along the coast I meet persons
who are. ready to prove by argument that
the present condition of things here Is to
be the same for years to come, and a resi
dent of Port Orford, a property-owner,
too, is one of them; but I do not agree
with them. The capital of this country
Is eager to find profitable Investments,
and It only needs to be shown where it
can find a favorable opening to pour In
almost any quantity of. money. Native
born Oregonians have never seen the rise
in value of timber lands, such as the peo
ple of Michigan, Minnesota and other
states have seen, and as a consequence
they cannot.be made to believe that It will
"pay"" them to Invest in timber; but East
ern people are coming here by twos and
by twenties, and are "taking possession of
the land." In a few" years all the Gov
erament lands will be gone.
I will repeat what I have said before
In these letters, that the resources of
these coast counties need only be investi
gated to convince any one that there are
golden opportunities here. Instead of tak-'
ing a vacation at some popular resort In
California or Orecon next Summer, cost
ing hundreds of dollars, why not pack up
a camping outfit and take a tour along
the coast, from Tillamook to Crescent
Bay. Go dut Into the mountains, and ex
amine the vacant lands, and when you
find something that suits you, make a
locationj An Investment in these lands,
even at second and third hands. Is better
than placing the money In a bank to draw
Interest only.
Port Orford was once a- rival of Cres
cent City for being a distributing point
for the mines of Southern Oregon. Cap
tain William Tichenor commanded a
steamer In 1S51 which ran between San
Francisco and Portland. He went into
Port Orford harbor on June 9 of that
year to be sheltered from a heavy storm
and was struck with its many advan
tages as a seaport, the site of .a fu
ture city and distributing point ..for
Southern- Oregon, so decided to take up
a section of land1. In those days Uncle
Sam gave 'a man and his wife 640 acres
of land as a donation claim. There were
Indian villages all along the coast and
quite a large one Just west of where
Port Orford town is now. He made a
sort of treaty with these Indians and
left nine men. on Battle Rock, a high
narrow ledge just in front of the pres
ent town site, and told the men he would
return in 12 days. The men were sup
plied - with provisions and rifles and a
cannon and the rock made them a good
fortress. But Mr. Tichenor failed to re
turn in the 12 days and the Indians
decided to attack the "palefaces." They
flred on them from Fort Point with ar
rows but did little harm, although their
aim was so accurate that arrows were
shot through a hole In a board the men
had In their barricade. Finally the In
dians decided upon a combined attack.
The rock towards land Extends In a
narrow ridge, not more than three feet
wide, and perpendicular on each side.
The Indians came up in single file aifd
when Just on this ridge the cannon was
fired and swept every Indian from off
the rock and the rest fled, as It was first
"big gun" they had ever heard. The
men then saw that the Indians were in
force north of Humbug Mountain, and
were building canoes, evidently intend
ing to attack them from land and water
at the same time. Ammunition was get
ting low and so the men decided to try
and make their escape, under cover of
darkness. They succeeded in getting a
night's ' start of the Indians before they
were discovered In their flight, and trav
eled at night and hid during the day.
The second night out they found, about
daybreak; a fallen fir tree crossing the
path, and under Its branches they hid
and during the succeeding day counted
loO warriors as ,they passed by in pur
suit of them. They finally arrived safely
in Portland. When Captain Tichenor ar-,
Tlved Just a day" after the departure of
his men and learned tne condition ot
affairs he- went to Sah Francisco and
brought back 60 men who built a fort
on Fort Point, near Battle Rock, and
this was the commencement ot the set
tlement of. Port Orford. It may be neces
sary' to add that this occurred 30 years
ago and today you scarcely ever seq
an Indian and none are hostile.
Mr. Tichenor brought his fnmlly out
from Now York the next year and they
took up their home where Port Orford
is now, the town being on the land of
their donation claim. Troops, wore staf
tloncd at Port Orford soon, and the disf
cpvery of gold in tho sands along the
bench drew hundreds of people to the
Coast and tho town grew rapidly. Miss
Anna. Tichenor, daughter of Captain
Tichenor, spent the years 1S33-54 and part
of C5 in attending school in the Portland
Acndemy, at Portland, and in 1855 be
came tho wife of Mr. G. Dart, and they
are now living here, the towiislte being
divided In three parts to the three chil
dren or heirs of whom Mrs. Dart 13
ono.
In 18G3 a terrible forest fire extended
along tho Coast from Coqullle to Port
Orford and the town was entirely burned.
Since then ,lt has been rebuilt to about
Its former size, and now contains about
200 people. There, are two merchandise
stores, n Jewelry store, drug store, black
smith shop, saloon, .two hotels, livery
stable, church, photograph gallery and'
newspaper.
Port Orford Bay.
' The lands lying along the shores ot the
bay here are very steep and quite high,
rising to an elevation of. from 50 to 200
or more feet. From a wind blowing
southward the harbor is absolutely pro
tected, and the water is deep and the
bay amply large. 4. wharf has lately been
constructed and a vessel can sail or steam
In and lie alongside the wharf In almost
any weather outside, unless It be a heavy
storm from the south. The harbor Is air
right, and vesscle are constantly touch
ing here and get what freight there Is, and
.experience no difficulty.
With the exception that the shore land Is
higher and the bay larger, Port Orford
Bay reminds me very much of Crescent
City Bay. There Is the same sandy
beach north and south, the same rocky
headland and a pebble beach, and near It
a lake of water-similar to Lake Earl, but
smaller. The country northward Is level,
just as it is at Crescent City, and Is just
about as heavily timbered, but with dead
instead of growing trees, as the fire here
in 1SG8 killed nearly every tree in its
path, and the . tall stumps still stand.
There should be some fine dairy farms
made out of the lands among this burnt
timber, and a few miles to the north I
am told the dairy business leads all others
In Importance. Port Orford Bay was se
lected several years ago as a port of
refuge, and $150,000 appropriated to make
a sea wall, but the money has never been
expended. When a railroad Is built down
the coast this appropriation will no doubt
become available, as there, will be such
an Increase of business here as to make
it a necessity. -
A coast railroad would pass through the
very center of the town and follow up
the coast through a country very level
aad offering no difficulties In construc
tion. Tlje sawmills on Eucre Creek and
Mussel Creek, south of here, would have
facilities for shipping their lumber, and
tho two mills of Enk River, north of
here, would also do a much larger' busi
ness, in consequence .of being able to
handle their lumber more cheaply and
more expeditiously.
. The two mills on. Elk River are soon to
be connected with the bay by means of
a local railroad, which will beiullt next
year. I understand a railroad will also
be built up Mussel and Eucre Creeks In
a year or so, to bring out the timber,
and It will be shipped from a wharf at
Frankfort, a cove between the mouth of
Mussel and Eucre Creeks. Eventually a
railroad would have to be built to Port
Orford and connect the three railroads,
but a coast railroad would obviate this.
There .are several very good dairy farms
along Eucre Creek, .or near there, and
there Is an opening for a creamery. At
present only about 175 cows can be fur
nished, but In a year or two there could
be at least SOO.
Port Orford undoubtedly has a bright
future, when tho surrounding country be
comes more thickly settled and the trade
can be centered by means of a coast
railroad. It Is difficult to determine which
will be the main business street of the
town, even with a population of 1000 or
2000, and landowners would have a fine
opportunity to speculate on future devel
opments. Corner lots are cheap here now,
and will probably remain at a reasonable
figure until a coast road Is actually com
menced. The lay of the land In the town
site will center the business portion to a
few streets, and the residences will be
on, the sloping hillsides, and the town
will show off to good advantage, either
from land or sea.
To the north of Port Orford Elk and
Sixes Rivers flow Into the bcean. These
streams have their source In Iron Moun
tain, which Is said to have a variety of
minerals, among rugged canyons. George
Currey here has been prospecting and min
ing there for several years, and is famil
iar with the country. About 13 miles from
here, on Elk River, he says there is a
large granite ledge, which Is of excellent
quality for any required purpose. At pres
ent It Is of no. value as It Is not accessible,
but a railroad along the coast would admit
of Its being quarried at a profit. Farther
up Elk Creek there arc several waterfalls,
and one In particular of 70 feet fall. The
stream has a good volume of water even
at Its lowest stage In the Summer, and a
thousand horsepower could be developed,
as within three-quarters of a mile there
Is a fall of 425 feet. Along both Elk' and
Sixes Rivers are bodies, of good timber,
and a logging railroad could bring out tho
lumber on the shores of Lako-Orford near
here, and there shipped. The timber con
sists of cedar and fir principally, but there
Is also myrtle, maple and oak. This same
railroad could transport granite to tide
water. There are cropplngs of coal In that
country also, and with a means of trans
portation It could be mined. These water
powers along the coast are some day go
ing to be electrified and utilized. Iron
Mountain has an elevation of over 3000
feet, and from Its summit, I am told,
streams flow to every point of the com
pass. Gold mining is done there in pla
cers, and the gold Is quite coarse and but
little worn, which would indicate rich
ledges. But little prospecting has ever
been done.
A gentleman here is In correspondence
with Fish Commissioner Van Dusen. en
deavoring to get funds for locating hatch
eries for salmon on Chet'ca River, Elk
River, Sixes River and Florres Creek, and
claims he can do so for about $1000 on all
four, streams. His method I3 one of his
own invention, and Is as yet, a secret.
These streams all arc in need 'of hatch
eries, and the outlay seems very -small, .
considering tne great advantages which
result from stocking the streams with
fish.

One of the Millions.
&5
past year, Invested-considerable money in
a lumbering plant "near Port "Orford, on
Elk River. It has" a store at Port Or
ford and a. wharf for shipping lumber.
Three miles un'Slk River Is a mill of 15.000
feet dally capacity and two miles further j
a new mill Just completed of o03j feet a
day.,' It Is contemplated to build a third
mill still higher up the river, 'and connect
tho threo with Orford Bay by means of
a standard gauge railroad for transporting
the lumber to tide water. Hardwood lum
ber Is sawn principally and the companyH
has Its own factories In San Francisco for j
using the lumber. There is an abundance
of oak, myrtle and other woods and the
only drawback Is lack of reliable and reg
ular transportation facilities, Why could
not a steam schdoner of a carrying ca
pacity of say 4CO.CO0 feet of lumber run
from Portland to Port Orford. load lum
ber Into San Francisco' and returning get
a load at Che'tco, when mills are built for
hardwood, and take It Into Portland? Such
a vessel should also have some accommo
dations for passengers. I am Informed that
this valuable hardwood will stand trans
portation charges of $S per thousand,
which cheaper lumber will not.
Elk and Sixes Rivers have quite large
bodies of bottom lands and dairy farming
Is carried on to a limited extent, but with
a more reliable market, through regular
transportation facilities, the dairy busi
ness, would be greatly Increased. There
are many acres of fine bottom lands that
are yet covered wjth brush, which would
then be cleared or slashed. Scarcely any
of tho land Is farmed, but Is just as na
ture made It when the owner Jocated, an3
It has been used for raising stock. With
a railroad along the coast there would be
a wonderful change In the appearance of
these farms In a few years. On the head
waters of these streams are bodies of fine
timber, much of it not yet even surveyed.
As soon as a railroad is built along the
coast all the vacant lands will be taken,
and the timber resources will add greatly
to the wealth of this part of Curry Coun
ty. The streams all flow Into the ocean
and a coast railroad next to the. ocean
would tap every timber belt from' one
end of Curry County to the other. Local
railroads up the streams carrying logs to
sawmills alongside the coast railroads.
When cleared of timber these lands are
well adapted to grazing and In many
places to farming. What these hills and
mountains contain In the line of minerals
will never be known until a railroad along
the coast offers encouragement for pros
pectors to go out and locate the ledges, or
mineral deposits.
I express my hqnest opinion of the situa
tion alorig the coast between Chetco and
Port Orford, when I say that the full de
velopment of the resources of the country
can nevec be secured until a railroad iJ
built. It should be located near the ocean,
crossing the streams near their entrance
Into the ocean, and thus drain, .their val
leys of timber, agricultural and other pro
ducts. Such a road would prove a very
good investment and the railroad crossing
on every stream would be n place of ship
ment for the country back of it. As soon
as such a road Is built this country will
soon become settled. B. C. P.

NEW YORK, Dec. 5. In connection with
the prohibition of the Importation of cat

here assert, cables the London corre

mouth disease Is so contagious that cat
