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. The grain vessels clearing

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.

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-

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

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.

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.

RAINS CHECK FARM WORK
Winter Wheat Looks Well Frost
Nips Frnlt.
WASHINGTON. 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.

MARKET SHOULD IMPROVE
PROSPECTS FOR EASIER MOSEY M
NEXT SIXTY DAYS.
Keynote of the Fntare Will Be the
Crop Outcome. Outlook for .
Which Is Good.
NEW YORK. 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

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

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"

THE GREAT FAMILY MEDICINES
Thedford's Black-Draught is the original liver regulator. Its results are as far-reaching and important as the
infiaence of the liver on the human body. Thedford's Black-Draught invigorates digestion, curing dyspepsia.
It regulates the bowels, curing constipation, diarrhoea and dysentery. By regulating the liver il( cures biliousness
and colds, and by strengthening the action of the kidneys it relieves the blood of poisons which cause rheumatism
and countless pains.
Thedford's Black-Drxaght is the companion remedy of Wine of Cardui. These two preparations work to
gether perfectly, and are generally sold together. Daring the past seventy-five years they have cured millions of
persons in the privacy of the home, without doctors' offensive private examinations or expensive treatment.
Wine of Cardui and Thedford's BUck-Dranght always do the same thing, and health is invariably the result.
Your druggist has SL00 bottles of Wine of Cardui and 25-cent packages of Thedford's Black-Dranght.

Chest Pains From
"Tobacco Heart."
Valvular Heart Dis
ease Threatened.
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. Grant,
Seattle, Wash, formerly of Spokane, Wash.
