THE MOKIJNC OKJSfcrONIAN, TUESDAY, AUGUST 14, 1906. 13 ACTIVE DAY ON WATER FRONT Three Steamers Arrive and Two Sail for South With Large Cargoes. GOOD FREIGHT MOVEMENT barracoota and Alliance Take All They Can Carry, While Roanoke and Kllburn Sail Thursday With- Full Loads. , Coastwise shipping waa quite active yesterday, for it marked the departure ol two veswlfl and the arrival of several others. The vessels departing were ttia steamers Barracouta and Alliance, the former going direct to San Francisco and the latter to Coos Bay jind Eureka. The Barracouta received quicker dis patch this trip than on her previous call, lor she was in port just three days less than on her former voyage.. This is proD Bbly due to the protest of the local mer chants, who are doing everything in their power to have increased facilities fur nished them in the matter of. serving helr San Francisco customers. The Barracouta took a full cargo of general merchandise and some few pas sengers' bound for San Francisco. She la la larse carrier, but has few cabin ac commodations and makes a specialty of freight. The Costa Rica, of the same line, arrived up at the Ainsworth dock Un the morning and both vessels were (moored there during the day. The Costa Kica brought a general cargo, but as yet 'can take no passengers owing to the in ability of her owners to satisfy the United i States, inspectors at San Francisco of the : competency of her crew. This is the sec iond voyage for the vessel's crew, and until they can pass muster with the 'officials at the home port of the vessel ehe will not be permitted to list any fpasengers between the two cities. The officers of the Costa Rica state 'that just "as they were ready to sail the , stevedores' strike was inaugurated at San Francisco, but as their vessel was al ready loaded they were not delayed. Among the Items In the Costa Rica's cargo were the two diving elk seen here during the Lewis and Clark Fair last Summer and which are being taken to Spokane and other Washington points for exhibition purposes. The elk behaved very nicely on the trip up the coast and the attendants experienced no trouble with them on the entire trip. While being taken off the steamer yesterday one of them became a trifle fractious but was soon subdued and led oft the vessel. In addition to the departure of the Barracouta the steamer Alliance, of the California & Oregon Coast Steamship Company left for coastwise ports. She had a capacity cargo and about 90 pas sengers. This vessel could have taken double the cargo she has aboard, but as her capacity was taxed to the utmost, the additional freight had to be refused. Most of this will probably be shipped by the steamers Roanoke, which, arrived at Astoria last evening, and the F. A. Kil fcurn, which is due today. Both these vessels are scheduled to sail Thursday evening, and many passengers have al ready secured booking for the Southern ports. In addition to the regular liners there were a number of lumber carriers report ed arriving at the lower harbor yester day, among which is the British steam ship Vermont, which comes to load lum ber for the Orient. She will take on 1,000,000 feet of her cargo at Knappton and will finish at Vancouver and Port land. PROMOTION'S AT HOQTJIAM. Ofifccrs of Gray's Harbor Shipping Firm Receive Advancement. HOQUIAM, Wash., Aug. 13. (Special.) There is a general promotion among the captains of the Northwestern Lumber Company, since the tug Daring has been put in commission. Captain Johnson takes charge of this boat. Captain O. Sanborn- advances to command of the Traveler; Captain Erlckson leaves the Rustler to Harry Hubble and takes charge of the Printer. - The sternwheel steamer Aberdeen, built in this city for Spoon & Thompson, of Aberdeen, by the Mathews Shipping Com. jiany, was launched this evening. The Aberdeen is equipped with a 60-horsepow-er gasoline engine and will be used for freighting on the Wishkah River. The tug Daring leaves this morning for Ban Francisco, having in tow the schoon ers Watson A. West and the R. C. Slade, laden with lumber. The Daring will bring Iback two empty vessels. Owing to the shortage of carrying equipment and lack of vessels, manufacturers think much time will be saved by this plan. It takes a sailing vessel two or three weeks, on an average, to make the trip, and the Daring is expected to reach the city in a week or ten days, and if successful this plan will be adhered to. DREDGE COLUMBIA LEAVES. Will Commence Work on Sandbars of Lower River Today. The Port of Portland dredge Columbia Trill leave down for Knapp's Crossing, about IS miles below Portland, this morn ing, for the purpose of inaugurating the work pf dredging out the sandbars from that point to the mouth of the river. The dredge will be employed in this work for the next four months, for there are many small bars that are to be removed. The work of dredging the channel in front of Inmari, Poulsen & Co. s mill will be taken up shortly by the dredge Portland. All the shoals along the river, Buch as Knapp's Crossing.

Ladd is at work, will occupy the attention of the Columbia during the time she is under contract to the United states government. t AKRESTED FOR COXSPIRACT INIno. Firemen of Steamer Minne tonka Face Serious Charge. GRAVESEND, England. Aug. 13. Nine firemen of the steamer Minnetonka, which arrived here today, were charged In a police court with conspiring to lm ixde the vessel's passage from New York. The men complained of the quality of the food, and a representative of the company alleged that as a protest they deliberately reduced the steam pressure. Disease Delays Cable Repairs. PORT TOWNSEND, Wash.. Aug. 13. (Special.) As a result of the discovery of a case of scarlet fever among the crew of the United States cableshlp Burnslde, the work of repairing the damaged cable con- necting the forts in this artillery district will be suspended while the vessel goes to the Diamond Point quarantine station for a fumigation to prevent the spread of (he disease.

SOME FAMOUS CHAIRS Romance of Lucky Purchaser Who Finds $20,000. Cleveland Plalndealer. The value of chairs is strictly relative. Enormous prices have 'been paid for chairs In recent years, notably J100.000 for a set of half a dozen Louis XIV chairs, upholstered in Goeblln Tapestry, which were originally made for Marie Antoinette. Even his price, by he way was exceeded by the sums paid for three of the Hamilton palace tables, one of which brought $30,000. A most valuable and historically Interesting suite of fur niture is that which more than a century ago was presented by Warren Hastings to TIppoo Sahib and was bought at the Londesborough sale for 5000. The suite consists of a card table, a sofa, two small cabinets and four arm chairs, all of solid ivory most exquisitely carvedL But probably the most costly cnair in uie world is one of the many treasures of the Shah of Persia. It is of solid gold, thickly incrusted with diamonds, rubies, pearls and sapphires, and! its value is estimated at J5OO.O00. In the House of Commons at Westminster are two arm chairs which once belonged to Gladstone, and one of which was his favorite seat when at Downing street. A short time ago a romantlo story was told in the French papers of two dilapi dated armchairs which were sold among the effects of Madame Borg, a widow. who died at Dellys, an Algerian seaport town. Tha widow was reputed to be rich but a thorough search of her rooms failed to disclose any of her hoardings, and it was assumed by her relatives that she had died practically penniless. Not long after the sale of her furniture, however. it was observed that the purchaser of the chairs, a Spanish stevedore named Perez, ceased to work, began to walk about In tine clothes, to buy land and houses and generally gave evidence of having come into a fortune. Suspicion being aroused, Perez was arrested, and now stands accused of having appropriated to hu own use the old lady's fortune f at least $20,000. which had been concealed by .her 'in the dilapidated armchairs.

Reed Chosen Director of Exploitation of Fair. SIGNS A 3-YEAR CONTRACT Elaborate Plans TJnder Way for Ad vertising Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, Which WrIH Be Held in 1909. Henry E. Reed, of Portland, received word yesterday that he had been elected director of exploitation for the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, which is to be held at Seattle in 1909. Ha will leave Thursday to take up his work on the Sound, and has accepted a contract to remain in his new position until two months after the coming Fair. Mr. Reed is well qualified for the work which he is to take up, having occupied the position of director of exploitation and secretary of the Lewis and Clark Ex position. The great success achieved by the publicity department of the Portland Fair reflected much credit upon Mr. Reed, and it has been understood for some time E. REED. that he would probably be selected to take charge of the same work in Seattle. The Seattle Exposition is to open June 15, 1909, and continue for four months. The corporation has been organized with, a capital of $500,000. Officers have been elected and the directors are now taking up the election of heads for the various departments. Mr. Reed is the first of these to be named, his election occurring yesterday noon at a meeting of the ex ecutive committee. Mr. Reed will begin active work Imme diately upon his arrival in Seattle. Lit erature concerning the objects and scope of the Exposition will immediately be is sued and an extensive publicity campaign waged continuously up to and during the Fair. Mr. Reed will have entire charge of all exploitation work connected with the Exposition, and intends to carry it on in the same elaborate way followed in Portland. DEJECTION OF PRUNES CHANCES OF LOSS ARE WORRY ING PACKERS. Eastern Jobbers May Not Stand by Their Early Purchases at High Trices. SALEM. Or., Auy. 13. (Special.) While Oregon packers of prunes see little In the present situation to encourage the growers to believe that better prices may be had, they vigorously deny that they are in any way responsible for the low stage of the market. They assert that supply and demand have made the price and that they are paying the growers all that the Eastern market will permit and save a profit for themselves. They declare that when Eastern Jobbers offer them a basis price of lc they cannot offer the growers to exceed IVic, for It takes at least half a cent a pound to cover the cost of packing. Interest on the money, insurance, chances of rejection and fair profits on the business. That the chances of rejection are worrying the packers some Is very evident' from remarks made by them. An Instance of this will be seen In the. statements made by W. C. Tlllson, of this city, whose view of the situation la hereafter Quoted. Any man who will think a moment will understand why there la great danger of loss from rejections thia year. Many Eastern job bers have bought prunes a full cent a pound above present quotations and could probably purchase now at about of a cent below their contract figures. This would mean $1500 on a five-car contract, and it would be quite a temptation to a Jobber who had the prunes on the sidetrack In Chicago with the packer located on the Pacific Coast. If the buyer of prunes on & 3-cent basis can find any excuse for rejecting them be is likely to do It and buy again on a 2-cent basis or less. The jobber has the advantage of location In any litigation that may result. Speaking today of the discussion that has been, going on concerning the prune situation, Mr. Tillson, of the Arm of Tillson & Co., said: There seems to be a mistaken Idea amontr the growers of the Northwest that the present low nricee of prunes are the .result of con certed effort on the part of the packers to depress values, out irora conversations wu n the various handlers of these goods I am satisfied that the reverse Is the case. There Is probably no better posted class of merchants in the world than the handlers of California and Oregon products, as the experience gained bv most of them has been at the ex Dense of heavy financial loss, and so far as I have been able to discover tnere are out lew mu lionaires among; them. The early prices named by a few of the packers were baaed upon report received of tne crops in ruivpe, vn-uiormi, tuiu. me iuixn- west, and after a careful study of the con sumption of prunes in the United States and European countries. Unfortunately the prune has been made the butt of board tng-houa Jokes for years, and the wealthier class tseem to consider it a fruit hardly worth noticing tand prefer to pay exorbitant prices for other varieties of dried and fancy fruits that they fret out of season to eating the more healthful Pacific Coast dried prunes. As a consequence the ear'y galea at fair prices to the packer and remunerative ones to the pf rower were for only a small proportion of the output of the coast, and the repeated offerings at lower prices were based upon crop statistics and probable consumption. The growers were not obliged to accept these offers, as the packers did not confirm them to the buyers until after they were able to secure confirmation from the growers, and It Is generally believed that the acceptance or these orders was based upon good judgment, as the continued decline in the market has shown. The normal consumption of prunes in the United States is 70.000,000 to 80.000.000 pounds against an estimated production this year?i 200,000.000 pounds in California and 40,000.000 in the Northwest; so that, without the extra effort that had been and is still being made by the packers to dispose of this surplus, the growers face a large carryover of the fruit. By constantly drumming their representatives they axe securing offers which, as previously stated, it Is optional with the growers to accept or decline, but so far as can be learned Italian prunes, even on a basis of the selling prices, are a .fairly remunerative crop. It must not be forgotten that the average size of the prunes produced in Oregon and Washington is about two points larger than the average of the California stock, so that the growers are getting $20 per ton more for the average crop than does the grower In our sister state. From the best information obtainable I be lieve that possibly 50 per cent of the crops of coast prunes have been sold, and unless Europe comes in for more business than Is at present anticipated, we are facing a large carryover. One thing must not be lost sight of what the packer has to face In these con tinual declines In prices. Having sold prunes at a relatively high figure, the danger to him of a rejection from unscrupulous buyers is great, and a stable, fairly uniform price would be far preferable to all parties concerned. But with conditions as they are. they shouid be encouraged to in every way And an outlet for our surplus stock in a year like this, when, crops are so larse. That the Eastern jobbers will hold the packers up to the very highest standards this year Is no more certain than that the Oregon packer will maintain the same attitude to ward the grower. The packers bought at higher prices than now prevail. They have to take the chance of rejections and will not take prunes that have a fault. The grower who tries to deliver prunes that are under dried or that are scorched will have trouble on his hands, if he happens to be one of those who contacted at the top of the market. SHOULD ACCEPT OFFER VIEW'S OF CAPTAIN SPEXCEIt ON ALASKA STEAMSHIP USE, Declares Portland Will Never Again Have Such Opportunity to Ob tain Trade of Large Region. On the subiect of establishing a steam ship line between Portland and Alaska, Captain El W. Spencer, of The Dalles Transportation Company, has decided views. The neonle of Portland are now offered something that can never be duplicated," he said yesterday. "The commercial bodies of the city have had a proposal made them recently which would give Portland an unexampled hold on the busi ness of the territory. It is not likely to ro besrelnK for any length of time, and unless we act promptly the offer made to us granting special privileges and afford ing landing facilities not obtainable by others, is likely to be lost. The amount of money required is a mere bagatelle to this community. Many promises of support have been made by influential men. and if we put our snoui- ders to the wheel the proposition will be accomplished. Nor should we wait to be called on. I am ready to ao my snare, and will do it today without solicitation. Let others do likewise and the Portland- Alaska steamship project is assured." A number of others have made promises to support the project now in charge of committees from the four commercial or ganizations and conditionally pledged sums of money. It is expected that others will come forward from day to day. In the meantime the committeemen are working to interest the. people and en deavoring: to get a large number to prom ise financial support in case tne entire amount is raised. Within a day or two the committeemen will hold a meeting, when the proposition will be discussed more fully, together with the result of the efforts among the busi ness men of Portland, Jerome Willing to Be Candidate. NEW YORK, Aug. 11 John A. Henne- bery. chief clerk in District Attorney Jerome's office and tne manager 01 mr. Jerome's last campaign, gave it out as his belief that Mr. Jerome would accept the nomination for Governor on the Deny- ocratlc ticket if there was a strong de mand for his nomination. Mr. Henne- berv said: "In the last few days there has ap peared in various parts of the state a strong sentiment in favor or Mr. jerome, Several men prominent in the Democratic party have urged him to consider the nomination. 1 nave not seen mm in sev eral days, but I am satisfied that, if there Is a demand for him, he will make the run for Governor on the Democratic ticket. He will look upon it as a duty which as a Democrat he cannot disre gard." King Haakon Receives Peirce. CHRISTIANIA, Aug. 13. King Haakon today officially received H. H. D. Peirce, the new American Minister to Norway, who presented his credentials. AT THE HOTELS, The Portland G. W. Suars and wife. PhlladelDhla: M. B. TraviE. Chicago: C. H. Callender, Astoria, Or.; C.

Dhvslcian has found a cure fnr rrinstlnatlon in children citing: 15 cases by feeding- them urape-isuis. "Some time ago," he writes, I Decame interested in vour food. Grape-Xuts. as a cure for constipatlono in children. Hav ing tried it in my own family, i nave advised It In fifteen cases In which all suffered with cdnstipatlon more or less severe. The result has been absolute Tcilof In all. "I write this that other children may be benefited." How much better It is thus to bring n-hont a healthy action In the bowels of growing children by natural means than to feed them with Improper looa, requiring some kind of cathartic at in tervals to overcome constipation. Grape-Nuts gives energy to the entire Kvstem. including the nerves that cause the natural contraction ana relaxation of the bowel muscles that propel the food mass along, it t nredieested. also, and the blood easily absorbs the food as It goes through the body, storing up vitality and force for the functions of all the organs. Children especially, should ' get the right start as to habits of living. They should m-ow into bright, strong, cheer ful men and women. Grape-Nuts solves the question of the start; a wnoicsome m will do the rest. Children's teeth are benefited by chewing Grape-Nuts .also.
