TOTAL VALUATION, $6,500,000 "Wlieat and Floor All From the Pa cific Northwest States Pusjet Soand Ships Equal Amount The French bark General Neumayer was cleared yesteday by Balfour. Guthrie & Co. for Port Elizabeth lor orders with 14.010 barrels of flour valued at 0.000. and 41.K8 bushels of wheat valued at EJ.SC This is the 2Uh grain cargo that has cleared from Portland for the Dark Con tinent this season, and there are e4x ves sels, and possibly more, to load for the time ports before the end of the season. This immense business with South Africa la directly traceable to the failure of the Australian wheat crop on which, the resi dents of the Cape of Good Hope ports have In the past relied for wheat and flour. Portland has not only sent large Quanti ties to Africa, but already this season has dispatched 13 cargoes direct to Australia. Tho value of the African cargoes for the season to date reaches a total of 11,SS3.097, and the 13 Australian cargoes were valued at $1,543,80;. or a total for the two coun tries of 33.32.e93. AU of this wheat and flour was from Oregon, Washington and Idaho points, and a similar amount has been shipped from the Puzet Sound ports exclusive of the wheat and flour brought to Seattle by tho Great Northern from Eastern porta. From these figures It Is apparent that the farmers of the Pacific Northwest have profited by the Australian crop failure to the extent that thev have found a market for over 35,500,000 worth of grain which otherwise would have been obliged to seek a market In Europe at prices much lower than has been realized for the wheat that went out to Africa and Australia.

Chase Home From Paris Asylum. NEW YORK, April 14. Moses Fowler Chase, the wealthy young man of X Fay ette, Ind.. who wa recently found In a sanitarium near Paris by Co neul -General Gowdy, reached here today on the Kron prinz Wllhelm from Cherbourg. A tug met the steamer at quarantine and took Chase to Jersey City. The young man came over under an assumed name, and was met by friends, who were armed with a permit from the Collector and ac companied by customs officials to facili tate the landing of Chase. From Jersey City he took a train for the West. Chase, who was taken abroad by rela tives without, it is alleged, the knowledge of his father, had been in a sanitarium four years when discovered by Mr. Gowdy. The Associated Press correspondent on Saturday cabled that there was reason to believe that Chase was on his way to the United States, but Mr. Gowdy de clined to discuss the matter.

Patient In Kentucky Asylnm Give: DnmnglnK Testimony. LOUISVILLE. April 14. Throwing him self upon the mercy of the investigation committee of the Board of Trustees of Central Insane Asylum, and begging for protection, declaring that be feared for his life, a patient of the institution who has Just recovered from an assault mad by an attendant, yesterday gave his tcs tlmony In the presence of a subcommlt tee representing tbe grand Jury. The patient has been confined to his bed for Are weeks on account of two broken ribs and other Injuries which may disable him for life, physically. Tbe examination "of the patient was the most dramatic Incident of the lnvestlga tlon of the charges of cruelty on the part of the attendants at the asylum, and It was also brought out that several phy sldans at the institution knew of the affair, though they failed to report It. The attendant alleged to be guilty of the assault Is still employed at the as)' lum. According to testimony of this witness. who is an old man, he was told by one of the attendants to get some milk at breakfast time. Upon his replying that he would get it when It came, the at tendant knocked him down and Jumped on his breast. Then the patient was dragged to tbe ward and locked up. The witness' testimony was corroborated by a boy who was present when the as sault occurred. An attendant also stated that he had known of the occurrence. Other Instances of cruelty also were brought out. and it was developed that In the negro wards a patient was held under water until she was nearly stran gled, while another had been beaten and choked.

SNOW IN MOUNTAINS Usual High Water Stage Is Expected This Year. MAY REACH 24 FEET IN JUNE Reports to Local Weather Bureau Office From Headwaters of Colum bia and Snake Work on Light house Tender Heather. Reports to tbe local "Weather Bureau office, from the headwaters of the Colum bia and Snake Rivers are that there was more snow in the mountains at the end of March than usual. The snow came early and was heavy during December and January, but light in February and March. It packed solid early in the sea son, which Insures slow melting, ana abundant water for Irrigation purposes Is anticipated during the coming Spring and Bummer In Eastern Oregon. Eastern "Washington and Idaho. The annual rise in the Lower Columbia River depends largely upon the temper atures during April and May. There, Is always snow enough In the moutains to cause a flood, provided it melts quickly, and estimates as to the probable rise must necessarily be empirical in character. In 1900 the high water at Portland was 17.S feet on May 20. The snowfall that year was quite light over the entire drainage area. In 1901 the highest stage at Fort land, during the Spring rise, was 20.8 feet on June 3. and the snowfall was about the same as the year before, the higher water of 1901 being due to a backward spring. In 1902 the highest water at Portland was 20.S feet on June 4. which is the same as the previous year, and it occurred on nearly the same date. The snowfall dur ing the Winter of 1901-1902 was consider ably heavier than during the preceding Winter, and the Spring was also back ward. The reason that the water did not reach a higher stage Is due to tbe fact that the melting of the snow was Inter rupted br several cool spells, whicn checked the rise at high stages, and al though the volume of water which passed out to sea was greater than in the pre vious year, the flood crest was no higher. Many of those reporting the aeptn or snow In the mountains this year have stated the amount to be about the same as during the Winter of 1E98-1S99. The high water following at Portland that season was 24.2 feet on June 23. It is thought that, with normal conditions during April and May, the flood crest at Portland this ear will reach a stage of 24 leet about tbe middle of June. Should the melting be rapid and continue uninterruptedly, the tace .will be somewhat higher tnan - feet. but. with marked cool spells inter vening, the stage will be a foot or two lower than the foregoing estimate. A stage of U feet at Portland necessi tates a stage of about 43 feet at Tbe Dalles, and 25 feet at Umatilla. FARALLOXB SIGXAL STATIO.T. Outlying Islands In Cable Communl- cntlon With Shore. WASHINGTON. April It The landing and successful operations of a Government cable connecting San Francisco ana tne Farallone Islands, 30 miles outside tne Golden Gate, la announced In an official message received late this afternoon by Chief "Willis L. Moore, of the Weather Bureau. This Is an Important extension of the weather service, authorized by Con gress as the result of repeated representa tions from the maritime interests of San Francisco. Hereafter, the Government will display storm warnings from Its Farallone station and all vessels will report to tho station by signal and the observer will renort them at once to San iTancisco, thus announcing arrivals several hours ahead of the arrivals. The service will promote the calling of tugs, the communl cation of weather reports and the convey ance of such maritime Information lnv portant to passing craft and to San Fran cisco business men. LONGEST STEAMER AFLOAT. Kaiser Wllhelm II, Now on Maiden Voyage, May Be the Fastest. NEW YORK. April It Germany Is not likely to lose her trans-Atlantic record for some time to come, says the London rep resentative of the Tribune. The contracts for the new Cunard liners have not yet been placed, and. the new North German Lloyd steamer Kaiser Wllhelm II. which will leave Bremen today on her maiden voyage across tbe Atlantic will. It Is con fidently expected, wrest from the Kron- prtnz Wllhelm the honor of being the fast est trans-Atlantic liner afloat, and as she Is over 70S feet long, she will be the long' est. Some Idea of the magnitude of the new steamer may be Judged from the fact that she has eight decks and four sets of quadruple expansion engines, an aggre gate of 40,000-norsepower. -mere are ac commodatlons for 773 first-class, 343 see ond-class and 750 steerage passengers, and the crew will number over 600. WORK OX THE HEATHER. Trader to Be Wired and Charthonse to Be Built. The new lighthouse tender Heather, which has been lying at the Southern Pa clfic dock since she was brought around from tbe Sound, was moved up to the foot of East Oak street Asterday. where further progress will btf made toward completing her. The Portland General Electric Company has been given the or der for wiring her for electric lighting. The dynamos that were taken from the Umatilla Reef lightship, when tne change was made from electricity to oil. will be placed In the tender. A charthouse will also be built on the upper deck. When this work has been completed, the tender will be In shape for cruising along the Coast and on the Sound, but will not be able to make long ocean voyages. Cargo Ships From Antwerp. The latest addition to the list of cargo ships coming to Portland Is the German ship Arthur Fltger. which Balfour, Guth rie & Co. hare iaia on at Antwerp to loan general freight. The Fltger arrived at Ipswich March 10. after a im aays- pass age from San Francisco with a 160.000 bar ter cargo. Other ships coming from Ant' werp or loading there for Portland are the Saxon. Berangere, Andre Theodore. Condor. Marecbal Turenno and creasing' ton. This fleet will bring out nearly 20.000 tons of cargo.

April It The Weather Bureau Issued the following weekly sum- mnrv nf rron conditions: in thn districts east of the Rocky Moun tains during the week ending April 13, the temperature has been highly lavorame ior growing vegetation, but farm work was very generally retarded by rains in the Lake region, central valleys and Atlantic - rilxtrlcts. while complaints of lack of moisture are received from portions of n rntrsl and West Gulf States. In the central and Northern Rocky Mountain dis tricts and on the Kortnern raanc --oasi. the season is very backward, and Wash ington and Oregon have suffered from cold, wet weatner. in amorrua. me cun riitlnns have been generally favorable, with tbe exception of some damage by frosts. The condition of Winter wheat Is gen erally excellent, and it has made splen did progress since the first of the month. In the Upper Ohio Valley, however, the freeze of the 4th and 5th caused some In Jury. On tlje whole, the conditions of the crop In the Winter wheat belt east of the Rockies is more promising than for years. In California the outlook Is also promis ing but In Oregon and Washington the conditions of the crop are less favorable- esneelallv In the last-named state, wnere about one-third of the acreage will be re- sown. Spring wheat seeding Is nearly complet ed In Iowa and Nebraska, ana is progress inc well In South Dakota; none has yet been sown In North Dakota ana in rtortn era Minnesota, but In Southern Mlnesota some has been sown on rolling lands. By the close of March, which was a very mild month, all fruits were unusually far aa vanced. The reports now Indicate that many varieties of fruit have suffered se verely for the month, particularly the peach. In California, while some damage has been done by frost, tbe outlook Is favor able; on the North Pacific Coast the sea son is so backward that fruit has not been exposed to injury.

April 1L Henry Clews' weekly Wsll-street letter Is as follows: Three davs of Interruption to business on the Stock Exchange, due to the ob- servance of Good Friday, naturally tended to lnaetlvltv. The tjast week, however. has developed a steadier undertone In the market, chiefly because money prospects have somewhat Improved and partly be cause moot of the known drawbacks have been wall discounted. For the next 60 days at least money- market conditions should Improve. Funds will shortly begin to return from the In terior, and the season Is approaching wren ordinary btWness demands tend to diminish rather than increase. It would be folly to assume that this means very easy rates for money. On the contrary, good rates are likely to prevail during the remainder of the year; but loanable funds will certainly be more abundant after the middle of April and good borrowers with eatlsfactory collateral will have no dif ficulty In securing reasonable accommo dation. This means that one Important source, of pressure on the stock market will be visibly moderated, and prices should respond correspondingly. Another source of disturbance, the unlon-aoutuern Pacific controversy, has been partially re lieved by liquidation of the southern Pacific pool, as well as by the legal de cision that Union Paclflc may vote its majority holdings in the Southern Pacific. Even the appeal against this decision was construed favorably, as It postpones hos tilities and will doubtless result in sus taining the present decision. A good deal of uneasiness has been felt over the Northern Securities case. As this will be appealed. Its effect will not be bo serious as feared; besides, the decision comes when prices are down and will conse quently have less effect than If prices were at top level. Apprehensions of an unfavorable decision have been current for many months, and had much to do with the late decline. A great deal has been said about undi gested securities. Some of the estimates spread abroad are undoubtedly exagger ated; yet it is true that tbe amount of securities held at first hands for sale is unusually heavy. It is also true that large amounts of new capital are awaiting Issue for Imperative Improvements that will prove sound Investments. These facts, however, need cause no real concern, be cause the great bulk of -the "undigested" securities are In the hands of strong men. who are abundantly able to hold them under all circumstances. Were these se curities scattered among a speculating public, carrying them on weak margins, they might be considered a menace: but such Is not the case, and while the se curity market has undoubtedly been suf fering from congestion, or indigestion, as that seems the popular term Just now. there Is no legitimate cause for concern in this quarter. Many of these securities are fairly sound and may gradually, at some price or other. And their way Into strong boxes if National prosperity is maintained at anything near present leveL As for new Issues, it is probable that these will be confined to the strongest concerns, for the simple reason that only such can find a market under present conditions. It Is safe.to say that we will see no repe- tltlon'of the reckless financing that char acterized tbe operations of the last three or four years for some time to come. The public has fortunately refused to be taken In by visionary propositions, havlng shown much keener discrimination than In previous "booms."

Mother's Friend is the only remedy which relieves women of the great pain and danger of maternity; this hour which is dreaded as woman's severest trial is not only made painless, but all the danger is avoided by its use. Those who use this remedy are no longer despondent or gloomy; nervousness, nausea and other distressing conditions are overcome, the system is made ready for the coming event, and the serious accidents so common to the critical hour are obviated by the use of Mother's Friend.

It certainly seems as If the market were entitled to a fair reaction, now that the bad features have been so well discounted.

Floods seem to have caused some anxiety in the South, but history shows that the flooded districts have always yielded an abundance of cotton.

The railroads are still congested with traffic, and gross earnings continue to Increase.

Dr. Miles' Heart Cured Me. Cure The effect of excessive smoking shown by such symptoms as heart pains, heartburn, smothering: spells, shortness of breath, flut tering and palpitation, is most serious. If your heart is in any way affected you should at once begin the use of Dr. Miles' Heart Cure which enriches the blood, regulates the heart's action and improves the en-eolation. "I am a local newspaper man and have been an inveterate smoker sines my boyhood. A little over a year ago I first noticed symptoms of heart trouble, palpita tion and acute pains and a peculiar, I might say, indescribable feeling across my chest. Local physicians said I had tobacco heart.' I quit smoking for a while and took regular dose, of digitalis and bellidona with some relief but the same old symptoms were still there. A friend of mine here recently died of what the doctor said was valvular disease of the 'heart. Knowing that his symptoms were similar to mine I felt that my time too was limited, although I am still a young man. in my thirty-ninth year. In Skillman & Stone's drug store here Dr. Miles' New Heart Cure was recommended. I began taking it and I can positively state that its effect is marvelous. Ihave just finished my third bottle and feel like a 'kid and believe I am cured. This letter is the spontaneous utterance of one who wishes to thank you for benefits received." Wu. N.
