12 THE MORMXG OREGOXIAN, THURSDAY. XOTE3IBER 21. 1907. PORTLAND LEADS IN WHEAT TRADE Exports for Ten Months Far Ahead of Puget Sound Ports. FEDERAL BUREAU'S REPORT ev Orleans and Baltimore Have Also Been Passed, While Flour Shipments Show Gain of Almost 100 Per Cent. ORBOONIAN X BV3 BUREAU. Wash ington. Nov. 20. Portland lias so far out classed Puget Sound In the exportation ot wheat, that the cities to the north can hardly be reckoned us active com petitors In this trade. The ofticlal figures prepared by the Department of Commerce and Labor, giving exports for the ten months ending with October, show that between January 1 and October 31, 1907. l.SDlMft) bushels of wheat were shipped from Portland as against 2.755,801 bushels rxportcd from there In the corresponding months of 1906. The total export of Puget Sound cities for the ten month of 1907 was 3.513.430 bushels. Puget Sound's wheat trade has declined in the last year almost as rapidly as Portland has gained, and the position of the two customs districts Is reversed. During the year Portland has passed Puget Sound. New Orleans and Baltimore, 11 of which were last year heavier ex porters than the city on the Willamette. Although Puget Sound is losing Its wheal trade, It is making material pro gress in its exportatlons of flour, but slower progress relatively than Portland. In the ten months of 1906. Puget Sound fxported 1.932.705 barrels of flour; In the corresponding ten months of 1907 the exportation had grown to 2,392.840 barrels. Portland, on the other hand, exported S13.S34 barrels in the ten months of 1906. and in the corresponding ten months of 1907, had shipped 1,168.886 barrels, a gain jf more than 100 per cent, and actual Jain of 655.000 barrels. The percentage Rain on Puget Sound was comparatively mall and the actual gain was only 370.000 darrcls. As has been noted, for many months San FiancUco has long since dropped out af the wheat and flour export trade and no longer considered ns a competitor )f Poitland and Puget Sound. H RIFLE ASSOCIATION NATIONAL GUARD OFFICERS LAUNCH ORGANIZATION'. '."urpo.se Is to Encourage Public in terest In Skillful Use of Firearms. The organization of a State Rifle Asso ciation was effected at the Armory last light when General James A. Drain, pres ident of the National Rifle Association, met with the officers of t..e National liuard here to "discuss the Important sub lect of rifle practice. While Interest In iiarksniaushlp has been marked In Ore ion Guard circles for several years past, :he newly formed association will serve to spread this Interest to civli -.n rifle rlubs. rtS General Drain j.olnted out, :he modern soldier must be a marksman nd to be a marksman he must have long tnd persistent training in the firing of a Ifle. The more people In the United states who are able to drive a bullet itialght, the safer the country In event f war. The state association will affiliate with ihc Oregon Guard and Its membership will je restricted to American citizens of the letter type. Klfle tournaments will be trranged yearly In which the civilian as R'ell as military marksmen can compete. And since the average normal, wholesor-e American can pretty well be depended lpon In event of war, the advantage of Irllllng as many as possible In accurate mooting is patent. General Lraln stated. The adoption of a set of by-laws was unanimously made. Adjutant-eneral W. """ ''' ry ' 'Or"" ' ""fe1' ijp """ - r-wm,.,,. E. Flnzer. an active exponent of marks manship, was selected president, with Cap tain R. O. Scott, vice-president; First Lieutenant Jenkins, secretary; Major T. X. Dunbar, treasurer, and Major F. S. Baker, executive officer. General Drain, formerly Adjutant-General of the State of Washington, arrived In the city early In the day as representa tive of the National Rifle Association for the express purpose of perfecting the or ganization In question. Similar asso ciations are being formed in all the voast and Western states Ly Gei.era. Drain. While In the city he was the guest of the Oregon Xational Guard Association and following the meeting of last night an in formal reception was held in the quarters of the Board of Officers at the Armony. He was accompanied to the city by Adjutant-General Hamilton, of Was-i.-ngton. The General reports great success in forming rifle clubs and predicts that wltu ln the next few years th eUnlted States will be able to boast 300,000 expert rifle men. He left on the late train for Cali fornia where another rifle association will be formed. ISSUE MORE CURRENCY Oregon Xational Banks Work to Re lieve Stringency. Many National banks in Oregon are increasing their bunk note circulation to help out In the present financial stringency. More money is a pressing need, and when this can be met by the issuance of more bank notes it Is a distinct relief. Portland National banks arc, however, up to the limit ol the circulation allowed by law already, and wHl not attempt to add to their circulation. In the case of the First National and the United States Nation al, circulation is allowed to the amount of 5d0,000, which is the amount of the capital stock of each bank. Smaller interior banks are Intent on addding to the circulating medium in their localities and are taking steps to Issue additional bank notes. Many are bidding on the new Panama bond Issue, while others are trying to get earlier issues of Government bonds, which have fallen In price since news of the Intended Panama issue was published. Banks which have bonds on hand that can be used to secure additional circulation will be helped by the Issue of more bank notes. rut, on the other hand, If they have to pay out their money for Government bonds to secure issues of additional notes, nothing Is to be gained. Better conditions were apparent locally yesterday. Wheat was being moved more freely. This was one of the best Indications of improvement. Private advices from San Francisco were to the effect that there is a pronounced Improvement in conditions there. CARING FOR THE INDIANS Appeal to Workers of Methodist Episcopal Church. PORTLAND. Nov. 20 (To the Editor.! All honor to Bishop Hamilton, of California, for his defense or the Indian. "Admitting that we have made 400 treat ies with them, and broken every one." as tne DUhop says, and that "there are still 2." tribes and parts of tribes who have never heard the Gospel." It la a strange position for a great missionary church to argue In favor of cutting down the appropriation for the Indians, and that one should aav. "the less we say about our work among the In dians the better." What about Mr. Duncan's work with the Indians? A whole tribe has been redeemed from savagery to a state of lofty civilization. General Cook wrote of the Apaches: "No treaty had ever been broken by them until the white man had broken it the Indian i had asked for redress In vain. If the Greeks I and Romans had done aa nobln deeds In 1 defense of their liberty, we would write them In books for the education of our I children, but because the Indian's own veins of silver and measures of coal, their land is never leu to tnem. but is given to the poller." General William Wetherspoon. who was sent with these Apaches to Alabama these bad Apaches found them most honest, honorable men and only fierce when ' the white man's liquor had maddened them. Is there not a Christian man or woman of means, or a bishop, who will go and give themselves to this work, as does Mrs. Bldwell. of California, who has a large In dian territory for whom she leaves the gay world to establish in well doing. Mrs. Bid well, of Chlco. Cat. can give some account of her wards. She Is one of the vice-presidents of the Indian Rights Association. M. K. K. Seaside Uses Letters of Credit. SEASIDE. Or.. Nov. 20.-Letters of credit to the amount of nearly $7000 have been lssused by the bankers and one payment to employes made by this meth od. The plan seems quite satisfactory and no trouble Is expected. These letters of credit are accepted by business men as cash, and in turn are accepted by the bank, and drafts on Portland and New York banks exchanged for them. COLUMBIA IMVERSITV FOOTBALL TKAM. WHICH DEFEATED PORTLAND ACADEMY YESTERDAY, 6 TO 0. IN B! COLUMBIA Football Game Lost, 6 to 0, by Portland Academy. WEST SIDE HIGH CHAMPION Interesting Contest Decides Inter scholastic Pentium Varsity Is Stronger in Every Department and Academy on Defensive. On a sea of mud on Multnomah field yesterday afternon, Columbia University football team defeated Portland Academy by a score of 6 to 0, and by this defeat put the academy out of the race for the Interscholastlc championship, giving the pennant to the West Side High School team. Columbia's one touchdown was scored In the second half, by Walker. Columbia had forced the ball to the academy five-yard line, and falling to make the necessary yardage lost the ball. The academy kicked out from Its five yard line. Ennls, the Columbia quarter, fumbled the ball, and Xorris rushed In on It. At this juncture. Walker, Columbia's big full, picked up the ball, and by a magnificent run of 40- yards, through the entire bunch of academy players, suc ceeded In planting the pigskin behind the goal. The game was all Columbia. In both halves the varsity had the better of the contest, 'the academy playing a defen sive game. Ire the first half, Columbia worked the ball up within one foot of the academy's line but failed to send It over, and losing the ball also lost all chance to score In that half. In the first the academy also came near scoring'. It worked the ball up to Columbia's five yard line but could not make the ne -es-sary yardage. Columbia won on all-round ability. Headwork and teamwork both were su perior to that of the academy bunch. Co lumbia played straight football, worked the ends, used the forward pass, cross bucks. In fact every kind of football. Pomeruy. Ennls and Walker all played great games. Ponieroy especially. Time after time he circled the academy ends for ten and 30-yard gains, while Walker, the fullback, could be depended on for yardage every time he hit the line. Ennls in managing the team, receiving and run ning back punts, also proved good. Hurl burt played the whole game for the academy. Columbia kicked off In the first half but the academy was unable to make yardage, and punted. Columbia after two downs, returned the punt. For a while a kicking battle was kept up. Columbia kicking, recovered the ball on a fumble, and then started toward the academy goal. By a series of end runs and straight bucks, together with two successful for ward passes. It worked the ball up to the academy's five-yard line, but failed to send it over in three downs. The academy kicked out, then by a recovered punt, forward passes and lucky combi nations worked the ball toward the var sity goal. It came within five yards of the line, but the academy failed to send It over. For the rest of the half, the academy played on the defensive. In the second half, the academy kicked, and Columbia started toward the goal. Several punts were exchanged, Columbia gaining on each exchange. It carried the ball from the academy's 50 yard line to Its five-yard line by a series of llnebucks by Walker and end runs by Pomeroy. On the five-yard line it failed, and the ball went over to the academy, Hurlburt punting to the center of the field. Ennls dropped the ball and NorrliL, the academy end, was down on him when Walker, the fullback, running over, picked up the pigskin, and carried It 40 yards through the entire academy team for a touchdown. He kicked the goal. When play was resumed Columbia by fierce end runs and rushes carried the bail to the academy's 40-yard line when the half ended. The line-up: Columbia. Portland Academv.

B1TTKR TOWARD REFEREE HUG Columbia Complains of Shabby Treatment at Eugene. THE DALLES. Or., Nov. 20. (Spe cial.) Members of The Dalles Colum bia Athletic Club football team, of this city, are very strong In their denuncia tion of Referee George Hug, because of his action in refusing to allow a touchdown in Saturday's game. The Dalles players say that Oregon punted to McCoy, who caught the ball and re turned the kick. As the ball sailed toward Oregon's goal-line, an Oregon player jumped into the air and fumbled the ball on his own rive-yard line. Right Halfback Groehler, of the Co lumbia team, recovered the ball and smashed over Oregon's line for a touchdown, in the very shadow of the students' goal posts. Referee Hug quickly stepped into the melee and carried the ball out, a the Columblas supposed, for the goal kick. The visiting team, however, was astounded when Hug, after a moment's deliberation and advice from Coach Chase, of the Oregon team, announced a penalty of 13 yards on The Dalles team for a forward pass and refused to allow a touchdown. Hug at this point refused to reason with Umpire Steers or Captain McCoy, of the Colum blas. The Columbias also assert In no un certain terms that Coach Chase In structed Field Judge MiClaln and the head linesman, who arc both Oregon men, that Referee Hug should be sus tained in his decision. This piece of work was so raw that the entire Co lumbia team left the Held In a body. The Oregon rooters made no demon stration as The Dalles team walked off the field, and many of the most en thusiastic rooters, besides leading cit izens of Eugene, maintain that the Columblas were clearly entitled to a touchdown. The Columblas base their contention on rule 20, section 3, which says: "Any player being off-side Is put on-side when the ball Is touched by an opponent." The Columblas wish it undertsood that no 111 feeling is harbored toward the University students or Oregon team, but maintain that Referee Hug deliberately robbed them of a victory which was Justly earned.

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, Corvallis, Or.. Nov. 20. (Special.) Man ager B. H. Greenhaw, of the O. A. C. football team has written to the manage ment of the University of Oregon eleven, asking that next year's game between the two state institutions be played In Port land on a date slightly later than the contest of this year. Under former pre cedents. Corvallis Is the natural place for the next game, but It Is the universal wish of the student body and others that the game be played In Portland. Manager Greenhaw reasons that the university management could not well re fuse to play In Portland. On account of the very pleasant relations recently estab lished between the two institutions, the university would not, as a mere matter of sportsmanlike courtesy, decline the Port land arrangement.
