Holme Insinuates That BlacUvrell Stole HI Dentins Demandfi $3000 or Threat 'eun to Sne. The Port of Portland Commission is like ly to be involved In more litigation over the new drydock. This time the trouble relates to the plans. A San Francisco engineer Insinuates that some one has stolen his design, and he puts in a claim for $3000, and threatens, if it is not satis fied, to go to law for It. At tVio rrtfni!'ir mnntViK- Tntlnir of the board yesterday a letter- was read from j Snow & McCamant, representing Howard j U. tioimcs, a civil engineer oi aan r ran- i Cisco. He asked for tne payment ot oUW for the plans being used in the construc tion of the dock at Vancouver. Mr. Holmes was one of the engineers who sub mitted designs lor the structure. He says the plans accepted are identical 'with those he furnished, the Inference being that Mr. Blackwell, the engineer chosen to design the dock, had the Holme3 drawings in mind when he prepared his own. The let ter ccncluded by hoping the matter could be adjusted without litigation. A lrttor was received by the board from Mr, Holmes some time ago, making the sa-n cjmnlaint and asking that Mr. Lock wood compare the two sets of plans. Mr. KolxncH stated in that letter that If Lock woo.l declared the plans were not "the same he would withdraw his claim and apologize. Mr. Lockwood did compare the plans, and concluded they were different. Instead of an apology from the San Fran cisco man there is a threat of a lawsuit. The report of Inspector Young, at the drydock. shows that nothing but the high est gr.de of lumber is being accepted. Of 9SO0 fect offered by the Vancouver mill. 4500 feet was accepted and 5300 feet re jected. Mr. Young notified the Vancouver company that he would refuse to take any more of Its lumber. At Inman. Poulsen & Co.'s mill he took 100,000 feet and rejected 25,000 feet. The board approved the in spector's rigid classification of drydock material. TV. H. Corbett. manager of the Willam ette Iron & Steel Works, was on hand to protest against any deductions from his bill for dredge engines because the work was not according to specifications. Mr. Corbett explained the changes made and declared that, if anything, the work was improved thereby. The board had before it Engineer Lockwood's list of alterations made by the englne-bulldcrs, and advised' Mr. Corbett to bring in a statement of deductions to offset it. The Columbia Engineering Works, the successful bidders on the drydock machin ery, asked for and were given authority to sublet the contract for the centrifugal pump to a San Francisco firm. Huber & Maxwell presented a bill for 5272 75 for sun-eying the different drydock sites In relation to the lawsuit of Robin son and Orton. The board sent the bill back for the Indorsement of Mr. Flanders, as he authorized the survey. P. J. Mann gave the Commissioners a 90-day option on a tract of river frontage on the west bank near tne lower ena oi Swan Island, suitable for a site for the drydock, and the option was accepted. FRENCH FLEET GROWING. Eight Ships Under the Tricolor Headed for Portland. The French flag will play an Important part in the grain fleet from Portland this season. Beside the four French vessels that have already sailed from the Colum bia River and the five that are now in port loading or about to load, eight more under the tricolor are headed for this port to take away grain cargoes. Among the lat ter is the French ship Daniel, of 1S19 tons, which Is on her maiden voyage. The Dan iel arrived at San Diego November 24 with coal from Swansea. She has a 30-shllllng charter to load wheat at Portland for the United Kingdom, and as the "charter ex pires on the last of this month, the ship is being towed up from the Southern Cali fornia port to make certain her arrival In" time. The French ship Surcouf, 1744 tons register, which reached the Royal Roads Wednesday, received her orders to proceed to Portland.. She Is under engagement to load for the Cape. The French bark La rooriclerc, 1471 tons, sailed from Tacoma yesterday with 28,000 bushels of wheat stiffening, and will load a flour cargo here for South Africa. The French bark Fran cois Coppee, 1728 tons, recently arrived at San Francisco from Cherbourg, sailed north on the Sth for Puget Sound. Since her departure arrangementswere made to load her here, and the ship will be stopped, If "possible, off the river, so as to save her the extra trip back from the Sound. Other French vessels on the en route list are the Grande Duchesse Olga, 15S7 tons, which left Shields August 24, but since put Into Rio for repairs; Martha Roux, 1581 tons, now out 120 days for this port from Run corn via San Francisco; Ville de St. Na zalre, ISIS tons. C4 days out from Hobart, and Colonel Villebols Maur, 1730 tons, 35 days out from Madagascar. The five French vessels In port now are the Canneblerre, Cornll Bart. Nantes, Jean Bart and Marie, the latter arriving up from Astoria yesterday. The four that have already carried out cargoes of this season's grain are the Jacobsen, Asle, Cambronne and La Fayette. WARSHIP SEEKS" DERELICT. Otella Fedcriion a Prixe for Japanese Salvers. According to advices received by the steamer Shawmut from the Orient, the schooner Otella Pedcrson. which was abandoned some time ago by her officers and crew, was sighted on November 21 about two miles south of Formosa. A Japanese warship was sent to bring her tc port, The Pedcrson will be a rich find for whoever gets hold of her. when aban doned she was as sound as when she left Puget Sound, and had on hoard the full cargo of lumber with which she started across the Pacific. Just why she was abandoned has never been made clear to the satisfaction of her owners. Her rudder had carried away, but bigger vessels than . the Pederson have overcome that difficulty, and to most sall ormen that would seem little reason for abandoning a stout vessel otherwise un harmed and loaded with lumber. The gunboat Princeton, according to the stories told by the schooner's people, re fused to give them a tow or to render any (assistance that would enable them to navi gate their vessel to port. According to the sailorsi they abandoned the vessel because the captain said it was the only thing to do, and according to the captain the mate was a coward and induced the sailors to desert him and go on board the Prince ton, a boat from which vessel later took him off. The Princeton landed the crew at Nagasaki, and there, Captain Hansen says, Lloyd's agent refused to let him send put a tug to seek the deserted schooner. wnat is interesting tne owners now. I however, is where they will stand in the event of the Japanese warship finding and bringing to port their abandoned property. It Is said that there is no Insurance on her. Fast Passage Not Profitable. HONOLULU) Dec 5. -via San Francisco. Dec 1L Thousands of dollars were lost to the owners of the ship Tillie E. Star. buck by reason of her unusual epeed In making: the trip from Honolulu to New York with a cargo of sugar, which she reached New York wlth on November 7. , She made the trip around-the Horn from "Honolulu In 109 days with 31G6 tons of sugar. Had she taken two days longer the rise In the price of sugar would have given her owners, under their sugar con tracts, J12.G00 more- for her cargo. The purchase contracts for Hawaiian sugar provide that cargoes shall be paid for at New York at the market price on the day of arrival, and the Starbuck's quick trip got lier there just before a rise. The ship Dlrlgo. with 5500 tons, Is now 174 days out, and If she arrives safely will have made a handsome profit by her poor passage in sailing. Axtorla. Marine Note. ASTORIA, Or., Dec 1L (Special.) Col lector of Customs Robb today received the plans fdr the launch to be built for use In the customs service, and will open bids for its construction January 1. An appro priation of $10,000 has been made by the department for constructing the boat, and it Is believed she will, cost nearly that amount. BIds-for making the repairs to the Gov ernment wharf at Fort -Columb'la will be opened by Captain Goodale, Constructing Quartermaster, January S. Captain Bailey received a telegram this afternoon from Seattle stating that the tug Tyee passed Flattery at 11:30 this morning, en route to Astoria, with the French bark Lamorlciere in tow. The message also stated that -the tug Sea Lion will leave Royal Roads this even ing for tho Columbia River with the French ship Surcouf. The tug Rescue, which left out yester day for California with the oil barge Santa Paula In tow, returned here this morning. After crossing out the tug ran into a se vere southeast gale, and being unable to make much headway against it, decided' to return to port and wait until the storm subsides. The gasoline launch Rover was pur chased today by Clarence A. Hayes from Thomas Spencer, the consideration being about $3000. The launch will be used in buying fish for Hayes Bros.' plant In Port land. No steps have as yet been taken toward discharging the cargo of the waterlogged steam schooner .Sequoia. One of the own ers of the vessel is en route to this city from San Francisco, and upon his arrival he will decide definitely what is to be done Captain George Wlnkel. of the steam schooner Sequoia, filed a wreck report In the Custom-House today. The report sayj that the vessel sprang a leak December & when about 15 miles off Tillamook light, during a heavy southeast gale, and quick ly filled. Of the cargo, 30,000 feet of spruce lumben. was lost. The British ship Foylesdale Is still in the middle sands awaiting the arrival of a barge on which to lighter a portion of her cargo. An effort was made this morn ing to -kedge her into the ship's channel, but it was unsuccessful. The French' bark Jean Bart, which was in a similar posi tion in the same vicinity, had sail put on at high water this morning and safled off the ands, and Is now at a safe achor- age. Want to Trade With Portland. MAPLETON, Or., Dec. 7. (To the Edi tor.) Noticing by The Oregonlan of De cember 5 that Charles Friasen stated to the Chamber of Commerce that low freights from San Francisco shut out Portland merchants, I will say that the freight between San Francisco and Sius law Is $10 at the present time; also that I tried to ship apples to a Portland firm last Winter, but the ,tug owned or run by Myer & Kyle, of Florence, did not take them when it went to Yaqulna, nor 250 bushels that another man wanted shipped. If Portland merchants will bring my freight to Florence at a reason able price I whl give them all my trade. Though only a rancher, it would amount to several hundred dollars. It Is my opinion that if we had a boat running here regularly this country might grow faster. F. KNOWLES. Bear Will Go to Navy-Yard. SEATTLE, Dec. 1L The revenue cut ter Bear, which spent the Summer in Alaskan waters, has been ordered to the Puget Sound navy-yard for repairs. The revenue cutter Manning, now at San Francisco, has been ordered here. Allen Liner Overdue. ST. JOHN, N. B Dec. 11. The Allan Liner Corinthian, due here from Halifax Tuesday afternoon, has not been sighted, and fears are being entertained for her safety. Marine Notes. The lumber schooner Olga left down yesterday for Redondo. The steamer Lakme has arrived with general merchandise from San Francisco. Local United States Inspectors Edwards and Fuller yesterday Inspected the steam ers Hoo Hoo and Ruth. The Nesala and the Marie arrived up yesterday, the former going to Oceanic and the latter to Greenwich dock.. Ships loading wheat yesterday were the Dowan Hill, at Victoria, Cornll Bart, at Columbia No. 2, Nal at Montgomery No. 2 and Alsterhal at the elevator. The Matterhorn has finished loading her cargo for Sydney, N. S. W., consisting of 110.29S bushels of wheat, worth $88,238. Kerr, Glfford & Co. are the shippers. The Government Engineers have decided to sell the sternwheel steamer Cascades, which has long been used as a towboat In the work of river and harbor improve ments. The steamship Quito has arrived down at Astoria, and will probably leave out for Manila today. Her luirfber cargo is valued at about $27,500, and the charterers, Laidlaw & Co., .obtained about $2S,500 freight, or $1000 more than the, value of the cargo. Another steamer will take the same amount of lumber from Portland mills within 30 days. Domestic and Foreljrn. Port. ASTORIA, Dec. 11. Sailed at 0:30 A. M. Steamer Despatch, for San Francisco.

STILL FOR JOHN BARRETT PORTLAND CITIZENS IN LINE FOR HIS APPOINTMENT. Hopes Are Expressed ThatPresident Will Overlook Protest of Jap- -anese Minister. The consensus of opinion among the prominent citizens of Portland seems to be that the Hon. John Barrett is a gen tleman eminently fitted for "the position of United States Minister to Japan" and that the Japanese government has no real cause to complain if he be appointed. Mr. Barrett would be a good friend of Portland, and It Is said that his long con nection with Eastern and Oriental affairs should make his appointment all the more acceptable both to America and the island of the chrysanthemum. When seen last night, Mayor George H. Williams said: "Mr. Barrett would be of unquestionable value to Portland In the Orient, and should be appointed. It is, of course, most unfortunate tha't Japan" has entered an objection to his appointment. I think that some of the Senators are 'against him, too, thinking possibly that he is not qualified for the position. "He is thoroughly conversant with the affairs of the -whole Orient, and with Port land and Oregon, too, for that matter," said Colonel H. E. Dosch, "and his ap pointment would be immeasurably bene ficial to the Pacific Coast." Postmaster A. B. Croasman said: "It Is unfortunate for Oregon and the Pacific Coast that Japan has entered objections against Mr. Barrett's appointment as Min ister at Tokio, as he would do well in that position." F. E. Beach, president of the Portland Board of Trade, said: "I was very much pleased to see that the President had de cided on Barrett, and was of the opinion that he would be a good man for Oregon in the Orient. I am very sorry that there has been any opposition manifested to ward him, and think that it is unjustified, as he would make a good Minister, as far as J am able to judge. I have been In hopes that the various Portland commer cial bodies would take the matter up with the President and urge his appointment, anyway." COST OF ADVERTISING. Standing: of The OreRonian Among the Great Newspapers of the Conntry.

J. MllllH Secures Orders for GOOO Head of Cnttle. Livestock Agent C. J. MlUIs, of the O. R. & N., brought back from the Interna tional livestock exhibition In Chicago or ders for 6000 head of Oregon cattle, con ditioned on the proper market conditions next Spring, wjien the stock Is to be shipped. "I find Oregon's reputation among the stockmen to be first class." said Mr. Mil 11s yesterday. "Eastern dealers have tried the Texas and Mexican cattle and thoSe from the Colorado, and even Montana, ranges, in comparison with the Oregon stock, and our animals have the prefer ence everywhere. There is an active de mand for them at reasonable prices. We can hold our own in any market. The conditions here are so favorable for pro ducing superior beef animals that the in dustry is bound to prosper. Of course, this does not mean that our stock" will stand fancy prices all the time, but it does mean that we can get a market 'at any time In preference to the cattle of other states. "Oregon- breeding stock also stands well in the estimation of Eastern breeders. In fact, none stands higher. Though Ore gon's exhibit at Chicago was quite lim ited, the first prize went to an Oregon Shorthorn bull, a yearling belonging to W. O. Minor, of Heppner. This "was re warded as a notable victory, and it brought Oregon inta prominent position before the international breeders. "I found ths East eager for Information about the Pacific Northwest. The people are beginning to inquire specifically about Oregon; they have heard 0 It, and want to know more. Anything Oregonlan is now sure to attract attention in the East, and I look for a large movement of set tlers this way. Such success as was won at the International exposition is an im portant factor In advertising the state In quarters where it is well to be known. The National Livestock Association aF Kansas City next week will give us an other opportunity, and I expect to see it made much of. "Say, It a fellow" thinks he is tired of Oregon, just-"let, him take' a trip East. If that doesn't :cure him, he -Is hopeless. A very short time In. the East will make him eager' to- get back home, where he can enjoy, life again. Coming out of the frozen East Into green: and balmy Oregon Just at this time brings the climatic differ ences into sharp . contrast and shows this state up to great advantage." CURE OF CONSUMPTIVES. . Health Association Advocates Build ing National Sanitarium NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 11. The Ameri can Public Health Association today con curred, in. a resolution reconmended by the executive- cqmmittee in favor of the National Consumption Sanitarium. The resolution , asking for the abolishment of a quarantine w.as reported back to tho executive committee with a recommenda tion that It was not expedient to. adopt it at this time. Dr. John Guiteras .moved that the recommendation be sustained, and It prevailed on a close vote. A motion by Dr. J. Schrader was adopt ed, instructing the- President to appoint delegates to the International Tuberculo sis Congress' in St. Louis. The executive committee refused to ap prove the resolution referred to it, ask ing the General Government to employ sanitarians and physicians in the build ing of the isthmian canal, so that the health of those -engaged In the work of construction would be preserved. The as sociation sustained the committee. Search for Missing: Ionian. LAWRENCE, ,Kan., Dec. 11.
