THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATUKDAX MAY 16, 1903. HUNTINGTON, THE JUNCTION OF THE OREGON SHORT LINE AND OREGON RAILROAD & NAVIGATION COS LINES -XUXTIKGTON. Or., May 13. (Special correspondence.) The first thing: that strikes a person as peculiar on arriving: at Huntington is that there are two times of the day. and each, in a certain sense, is correct. If your watch denotes I o'clock in the" western part of town, it will be 2 o'clock in the eastern part, traveler coming; from Portland to Hunt ington will look at his watch and say "It is 3 o'clock." and at the same moment a passenger from towards the East, say Boise, Idaho, will say "It is 4 o'clock." and both will be correct, one being "mountain" time and the other "Pacific" time. It is through Huntington that the Imaginary line runs from north to south, which changes everyone's watch just one hour later If you are going East and one hour earlier if you are coming "West. An Eastern ' train will arrive here at 7:05 P. M., mountain time, remain 20 minutes, and leave at 6:25, Pacific time. ."Water Works and Electric Light. Huntington Is a town of about 1000 people (the census of 1900 gave it 821), and yet has no water works nor electric lights. If there were more green lawns and shade trees, which a supply of water would secure, it would be greatly appre ciated by the residents of Huntington. Various plans have been considered for having a water supply, but to pump by steam would not be profitable, as wood Is worth $650 a cord here, and coal and gasoline are expensive. Only about two miles from the town flows Snake River, and Just below the steel railroad bridge Is a rocky Island In the center of the river, and between it and the shore the current Is quite swift. It. has been sug gested that two boats be anchored be tween the shore and this Island, and be twen them a large current water wheel be placed for generating power and pro pel dynamos on the boats, and that wires convey electricity to the town, and also power to an electric motor and pump the water by electric power from wells. The first cost of this plant would be about 515.0W, but the cost of maintenance would be small, and an income of from $300 to $500 could be secured. Huntington would be greatly benefited by having such an enterprise started, and it would seem to offer a chance for profitable in vestment of the amount of capital men tioned. Branch Railroad Junction. There is more than usual talk Just now about the construction of the railroad down the Snake River to tap a mineral region about 70 miles from here, called the Seven Devils district, and the min eral mining section of 25 miles down the river. It is rumored that a Pennsylvania syndicate will build it, and again it is said it will be "built by the Oregon Rail RIVAL TO PORT COSTA CALIFORNIA GRAIX WILL BE SHIPPED FROM PABLO POINT. Xevr Ship Channel at Slaughter's Completed Captnin Brantlt's Opinion of Portland Lawyers. SAN FRANCISCO, May 15. Porto Costa Is to have a rival as a grain shipping center. Active operations for the work to be done to make this possible of ac complishment will be begun in ten days, says the Bulletin. The contract for the first wharf to, be built was signed this morning, the price being $30,000. Healy. Tlbbetts & Co. are the contractors, and behind the scheme is the Richmond Belt Railroad Company. The wharf contracted for Is to be built at Pablo Point, and the contract calls for Its completion within 90 days. Contracts for two more wharves to be built at Malabe Point are soon to be let. Malabe Point is located to the south of Pablo and between the two points are to be erected warehouses for the storing of grain. It Is estimated that at least $1,000,000 will be expended on the work before the company will be ready to be gin operations. Both the Southern Pa cific and Santa Fe roads have tracks ex tending within a short distance of Pablo Point. The waters there are deep enough to float any vessel that enters the harbor. SUEZ CANAL. Possible Effect of Growing Compe tition Upon Its Traffic. The traffic passing through the Suez Canal has, up to the present time, been constantly increasing. The transit re ceipts for 1901 amounted to $19,515,116.16 (an increase over 1900 of $1,897,888.52), and were higher than In any previous year eince the opening of the route. Whether the canal will, however, continue to receive a growing share of the tonnage of the car rying trade to the Orient is a proposition affected no less by the Canadian. Ameri can and Panama routes than by the Bag dad, Trans-Caucasian and Trans-Siberian Railway schemes. It is believed that the Suez Canal interests, while naturally con cerned about the competition which is springing up in all directions, regard the situation without serious misgivings. Even if the main path to the Orient shall be found to lie across America, the canal has the Persian Gulf, India, West Austra lia and the east coast of Africa from Beira (the port of Rhodesia) to Suakln In the Red Sea to guarantee its future trade. To supply the growing needs of these and other East African ports, in cluding Djibuoti. Mombasa. Zanzibar, Dar-es-Salaam, etc.. the German and Austrian Lloyds are Increasing their fleets, and Mr. Chamberlain, In a speech at Mombasa recently, announced the speedy Inauguration of another direct line of Bteamers subsidized by the British government. To facilitate rapid transit, the canal has quite recently been supplied with four new lighthouses. In considering the chances of the Suez Canal route, one must not fall to attach due importance to the work of develop ment now being performed in Africa. CHANNEL COMPLETED. "Worlt Accomplished by Port of Port land Dredges in April. The Port of Portland dredge Columbia Upent last month In digging a ship channel at Slaughter's, on the Lower Columbia. Th'e work was completed satisfactorily and now a 25-foot channel 3912 -feet long and 300 feet wide is at the disposal of shipping. The dredge deepened the chan nel four and one-half feet and exca vated 194,668 cubic yards of material, com posed of clay, sand and snags. The Co lumbia, which is under lease to the Gov ernment, worked 466 hours out of a possi ble 624 hours. The cost of operating her for the month .was J5793. The smaller dredge Portland, now dig ging a channel to Inman, Poulsen & Co.'s dock, in the southorn part of the harbor, worked 226 hours in April. She was laid up at the dock a large part of the time Installing the new centrifugal pump de signed by Engineer J". B. C. Lockwood. Thla pump is now discharging gravel through a pipe line from 1300 to 1400 feet long. The Portland's expense account in April amounted to $5963, the large in crease being due to the cost of the pump. LEFT HIS FIRE3IAX BEHIND. Captain Brnnth Declines to Settle a Case With Lawyer. Captain C. Branth. of the Danish steam er Polarstjernen, goes away from Port land with a poor impression of our way of treating foreign shipmasters. He Is particularly Incensed at the practice fol OREGON road & Navigation Company. About four years ago the Northwest Railway Com pany graded a road from here about 30 miles down they river, and. then work was stopped. It 'is said this same road bed will be used and grading continued to opposite Iewiston, Idaho, and thence on down the Columbia River to Klparia, thus giving a continuous "water-level" haul to Portland. The advantage of this rail road has been discussed and talked of for years, but I am informed that Its construction is more probable just now than at any time. The basis of these rumors rest largely on the purchase of properties along this route by wealthy syndicates,- which would be practically valueless if no railroad is to be built. Ifcj construction would open up a country rich in copper and gold. At present the completed railroad grade, about 25 miles down the Snake River, gives the fann ers and stockmen in that section the use of one of the finest wagon roads in Ore gon. At Mineral, a mining town about three miles from Snake River, in Idaho, and 25 miles from Huntington, Ladd & Tilton, of Portland, are said to be largely interested in a copper and silver mine, and that a smelter would be located on the banks of Snake River, the fuel being wood, which is abundant there, and this copper smelter would also be used for ores from the Seven Devils section, when a railroad is completed. Opposite to this same mineral district, but In Oregon, Martin Winch and others of Portland have Interests In a gold quartz mine with SO stamps. There is also a large placer mine near there. On the mountain side along Snake River about eight miles from here is a gypsum mine, which is having Its products hauled to the lime kiln, four miles from here, on the O. R. & N., In which Colonel Beebe and othem of Portland are Interested. A contract for hauling by team to the amount of $21,000 was let last month, which shows the Importance of this Industry. A rail road of only 25 miles down the Snake River would tap a rich farming, fruit and stock country, and give a convenient outlet for the product. Heavy Tradlnjr Point. Huntington's business houses are not numerous, but some of them do a very large business. Readers of The Oregonlan will remember seeing a picture in this pa per of a whole tratnload of groceries which were shipped from Portland to one firm here. The forwarding business la also an Important one, supplies being hauled for 200 miles to Interior points in Oregon. The lines of business represented are: Three general merchandise stores, two hotels, three saloons, three livery stables, three churches (Methodist, Congregational and Catholic), one shoe store, one. cigar store, two barber shops, one bank, one weekly newspaper, two restaurants, one lowed by lawyers in trying to make trou ble for ships Just as they are ready to depart On the way up the river, one of his firemen, Louis Capelle, who shipped at San Francisco, fell through a hatch way Into the hold. The captain had Dr. Wheeler and other physicians examine the man on arrival here, and they pro nounced his Injuries as not serious. The fireman, however, left the ship and took up quarters at the Good Samaritan Hos pital, and that was the last the' captain saw of him. A-few days before the ship was ready to sail. Captain Branth re ceived a letter from a firm of Portland attorneys, who had taken up Capelle's case. The letter concluded as follows: "Of course, we will hold the ship liable for the damage. However, we would pre fer to make an amicable settlement rather than to apply to the courts, which In creases the expense, to say nothing of all the extra trouble. If you will please call at our office, we should be pleased to consult with you regarding same, with a view to settlement." Captain Branth declined to do business with the firm, and left port without his fireman, from whom the lawyers now can collect their bill. UPPER, RIVER RISING. Willamette at Portland Will Reach Twelve-Foot Stage Sunday. The Columbia is rising rapidly at up per river points, the effect of the recent warm weather. The river is almost sta tionary here, but the effect of the rise above will be felt today. Reports to the Weather Bureau showed a rise of nine tenths of a foot yesterday at each of the following points: The Dalles, Umatilla, Wenatchee and Lewiston. At Rlparla the advance was half a foot. The Willamette at Portland yesterday registered 10.7 feet, and by Sunday after noon will reach the 12-foot mark. The rise from now on will be steady, but the rate will vary from day to 'day accord ing to the temperature. Lumber Carrier at Vancouver. VANCOUVER. Wash.. May 16. (Spe cial.) The steam schooner Aberdeen and the sailing schooner Compeer will arrive tomorrow at the Columbia River Lumber Company's mill to load for California ports. The barkentino Quickstep will also arrive this week from California to load at the come mllL The output of the mill will be 2,000,000 feet to supply these vessels. Regular trips of these boats will be made hereafter to this city. JThe water Is high enough Just now to let the vessels out over the shallow places with ease. Night Trip With a Tow. The barkentlne Georgina, which left down the river at 6 o'clock Thursday evening. In tow of the Harvest Queen, reached Astoria at 6 o'clock yesterday morning, having made the night run drawing 19.6 .feet, without difficulty. The Queen later left up with the schooner Compeer. Marine Notes. Two large steamers, the Inverness and Ivydene, are listed to load Japanese coal for San Francisco. The Dunearn completed her wheat cargo at Greenwich dock. She will leave down Monday. The Arranmore has shifted from Irving dock to Greenwich. The eteamer Fulton has sailed for San Francisco with 400,000 feet of lumber, shipped by Inman, Poulsen & Co. The sides of tho lower deck of the steamer Arrow are being boarded up to make her seaworthy for the trip around to Puget Sound. No information is given out as to when the Arrow will leave.

Huntington Is on the line of the Union Pacific Railroad system. -47 .miles from Baker City, two miles from Snake River and 23 miles from "Weiserr Idaho. Burnt River flows through, the town, and its waters, for 20 miles west of Huntington, are carried out over the bottom lands, and profitable crops of alfalfa are grown. The hills in this section are bare of trees and afford grazing for thousands of head of stock. Baker County's assessment roll shows the number of horses and mules to be 47S2: cattle, 20,697; sheep and goats, 75,078. and swine. 1532, a total of 102.4S7 head of stock. Stockmen complain of transient stock being allowed to graze on the ranges which pay no taxes- here. A Railroad Division. Huntington Is the terminus or junction of the O. R. & N. and Oregon Short line railroads, and is a railroad division. There are about 50 persons on the payroll in the yard, roundhouse, depots and hotel, and as many more "He over" here on trains from the East and West. The monthly payroll will amount to about $5000. There are. 15 main tracks and switches through, the railroad grounds, and as many as 500 loaded cars have been here at one time, and there are scarcely ever less than 200 here at any one time. The coal bunkers distribute about 100 tons of coal each day, and feveral hundreds tons of Ice are kept standing in two large Icehouses. Cropping of Coal. On both sides of Snake River, distant, about four miles from Huntington, are quite promising, cropplngs of a very good grade of bituminous coking coal, the dis covery having been made last year, and the vein on the one partially developed property showing five feet of coal. The company of local owners have put In a tunnel about 200 feet, and the quality and quantltv have Improved, but just now more capital is required to put on pumping and other machinery, and no. shipments have yet been made. These, veins are of easy access to the Oregon Short Line railroad, and will proVe- valuable property If present prospects continue. They cover an area of about 1600 acres. Substantial Improvements. The heavy stone buttments and steel spans of the large and small railroad bridges along the line of the Union Pa cific Railroad, and the amount of work being done in straightening out curves and bettering the condition of the road bed in many ways, indicates that this railroad system is taking advantage of the splendid freight and passenger business now doing, so that accidents on the line, which are expensive and delay business, may be reduced to a minimum. During the past half-dozen years the O. R. & N. Co. has expended many thousand of dol lars In bettering the roadbed for greater comfort of its passenger service, and as a consequence the schedule time has been shortened, the -405 miles between here and Portland being now made in 16 hours and 25 minutes.

Chinese in Islands "Would Obliterato the Filipinos. SAN FRANCISCO. May 15. W. B. Win throp, executive secretary to Governor Taft. of the Philippine Commission, ar rived here today on the Siberia. He has Just completed two years' service in the Orient and Is home on a elx months' leave of absence.' Secretary Wlnthrop said that Governor Taft was still at Benguet when he left, but that his health had been almost entirely restored. "Manila." says Wlnthrop, "Is now the cleanest city of its size in the world, with less crime than any community of which I know. The ladrones you read about In the dispatches are Just about like your burglars and highwaymen, only not quite so numerous and more easily disposed of. "Business in Manila is still dull at present, but the agricultural depression Is responsible for that, and the condition Is only temporary. The rinderpest de stroyed a great many cattle, and the ag ricultural methods in vogue throughout the islands are of the most elementary nature. The natives raise sugar . and make It pay. and that by the crudest and most wasteful of processes. The agricul tural possibilities of the Philippines are Infinite and with modern methods there is no reason why the islands should not be fruitful as any land on earth. The re cent Congressional appropriation will do much to alleviate the situation, and the currency legislation will do more than anything else for the material develop ment of the Philippines. The labor problem is a deep one. It will be settled, however, and on the lines laid down by Governor Taft. The commission realizes that while the admission of Chinese labor would hasten the develop ment of the country and promote the prosperity of Americans financially inter ested there, it would Teduce the Filipino to the lowest imaginable condition. Where he has been given a chance under proper supervision he has made an excellent workman. Captain Butt, of the land transport department, and Major Ale shire, of the water transport, have both employed large numbers of natives as teamsters, longshoremen, boatmen and general laborers and both speak highly of the Filipinos' good qualities In these lines of Industry. "With Chinamen in the land the Fili pino will never be Induced to work, and would gradually be obliberated altogether. The commission is not at all likely to sacrifice the Filipino for the sake of hastening the development of the Philip pines. They will first make a man of him, and then, with his help, make some thing out of his land. "Peace Is now assured In the Philip pines and much of the success of the cine administration Is due to the wonderful personal influence of Governor Taft."- Vice-Presidents of Machinists. MILWAUKEE. May' 15. The Interna tlonal Association of Machinists today elected the following vice-presidents: Ar thur W. Holmes. Toronto, Canada; John D. Buckalow, Little Rock, Ark.; Thomas L. Wilson. Omaha.

Drawbacks Regarded as Only Tem porary Railroad. Earnings Con tinue te Shew rb Increase. NEW YORK. May 15. Bradstreet's tomor row win say: weather and labor conditions have been far from perfect for the progress of retail trade, planting operations and growth, and building, but the tendency, to regard these drawbacks as merely temporary Is still present, though the feeling as to labor disputes Is that continued unsettlement will work serious damage to all Interests concerned. Wholesale tradealso re flects this feature, but so great Is the confi dence In the future outlook optimistic views still rule. Railroad operations, now free from congestion, ara very favorable. & fitting crown to the records of past prosperity being found in the April record of a gain of 14 per cent In gro&s receipts, which follows steady and In creasing gains made yearly in that month since 1805. Capital has sought to be made In the stock market of the weakness of pig Iron and report ed Increases In steel, but the latter is denied, and while production of iron Is now In un precedented volume, reliable statistics of stocks of this material show no accumulation. Wheat, including flour, exports for the week ending May 14, aggregate 4.007.506 ' bushels. against 3.201.6S0 bushels last week, and 5.172,- 634 bushels this week Iast-year. Corn exports aggregate 1.431.257 bushels. against 1.631,700 bushels last week, and 82,759 a year ago. Business failures in the United States for the week ending May 14 number 182, against 1.5 last week and 100 In 1002. In Canada for the week. 16, compared, with 15 last week and 22 one year ago. BIG CROPS ARE EXPECTED. Farmers Are Baying Heavily, Des pite the Unfavorable Weather: NEW YORK. Mar 15. R. G. Dun & Cc's weekly review of trade tomorrow will say: warmer weather has made it possible for the retail trade to regain part of the losses In volume of transactions, and the level of quo tations for staple lines of merchandise Is well maintained. Whofesale trade In seasonable goods Is quiet, although there is more or less supplementary business.' and Jobbers report In creased activity la Several lines of wearing ap parel. Clothing manufacturers are busy on Fall samples, which are unusually late. Fur niture and harness factories are notably well supplied with orders, and there Is no evidence of dullness in machinery or hardware. At most points, there are indications of Improve ment In mercantile collections, the favorable progress of Fall work having a great Influence at the Interior, while the heavy sale of fer tilizers testify to the extensive preparation for large crops. Industrial conditions would be exceptionally encouraging were it not for the vast army of men voluntarily Idle. Railway earnings con tinue to show the usual gain. May figures thus far surpassing last year's by 13.4 per cent, and those of 1001 by 20.3 per cent. An unprecedented production of pig Iron In April was accompanied by a decrease In fur nace stocks, testifying to vigorous consump tion and wholesome conditions In the steel In dustry. Textile manufacturing conditions are ex tremely Irregular, some improvement being noted at woolen mills, while cotton spinners are In a bad position. Woolen mills are harassed by the phenom enal quotations for raw material, being un able to obtain even small concessions from buyers of goods, who only purchase such small quantities as are required Immediately. Not only has there been no advance In print cloths, but a special sale at 3c occurred; Failures this week were 100 In the United States, against 228 last year, and 13 In Canada, compared with 17 a year ago.

Thoaghtless Action Makes ' Hunga rian PoUtlcal Situation Worse. VIENNA, May 15. Contrary to hopes and expectations, the Hungarian political situation seems to have grown worse, rather than better, during Emperor Francis Joseph's stay at Budapest. This condition of affairs is reported to be largely due to an incident which occurred at the court ball on Thursday, and which has created much excitement In opposition circles. As usual. His Majesty embraced the opportunity which the ball affords to converse with the most prominent polit ical and official personages, but on this occasion he entirely ignored Count Ap ponyi, president of the lower House, whose present relations with Premier De Szel are said to be somewhat' strained. The opposition, which is hoping that the Count will join them at some future time, is greatly rejoiced over the affair. Ccunt Apponyi himself seems to be of fonded. He did not preside in the House today, and It is now reported that the Emperor will receive the Count in special audience. Some light has been thrown on the difficulties of the present situation in Hungary by a remark the Emperor is re ported to have made at the ball, which was: "I don't know what to do any more." Concurrently with the Government's troubles in Hungary,- the disturbances in Crotia continues. In spite of the arrival of troops, the rioters maintain their ac tivity. There was a great demonstration at Buccarlon . on Thursday, when 3000 persons assembled to demand the release of the rioters who had been arrested on the day previous. The officials refused, whereupon the mob attacked the court house and forced the officials to give up the prisoners. AH this happened while a detachment of troops was .guarding, a rail road station a short distance from the town. At Kreutsz, which is under martial law,, two persons already have been tried and executed. In a published Interview the Viceroy of Crotia stated that a revo lution had been planned for May 10. but the government discovered the plot In time. Negro Church Wrecked by Dynamite CHICAGO. May 15.
