DUTIES -WILL BE SHORT Government Will Receive Less Than $10,000 Largest Items on Man ifest Pineapples and Matting. ws of tlie Waterfront. The steamship Alesia of the Portland & Asiatic Steamship Company, . entered at the local Custom-House yesterday with a very light cargo from the Orient. Both in point of value and the quantity the cargo was .light. It was a. great dis appointment as a- heavy shipment was ex pected to arrive on the Alesia. The duties which will be paid will be less than $10,000 s compared with $200,000 which has been paid on many of the cargoes which have reached Portland via the regular liners. The major part of the cargo will be cleared at Portland. There is, on the manifest 1000 cases of pineapples which will be cleared at Portland and forwarded to Chicago free of bond. ,A large quantity o the matting on the Alesia will also lie cleared from this port and forwarded to destination out of bond. With all this the returns from duties will be very nhort. The Nicomedia came in light but the Portland Custom-House was J20.000 richer by the receipts from the cargo. Since the opening of the Portland & Asiatic Steamship line between Portland and Oriental ports as light a cargo as that on the Alesia has not been received. Where the trouble lies is not known. Iarge quantities of fire crackers are due here. and sulphur, rice and matting are in demand. Freight offerings for the far East are ligliti and both the Nicomedia and the Alexia will leave out with more lumber and less general freight than for some time past.

ENGINEERS' STRIKE IS NEAR Steam Schooner Owners Cannot Reach Terms With Association. SAX FRANCISCO. Feb. 7. The meeting this afternoon between representatives of the steam schooner owners of San Fran cisco and a committee from the Marine Engineers' Association was a lively one n.nd considerable bitterness was shown, but the meeting closed with no agreement iiavlng been reached. The committee from the Engineers' Association will pre pare a new statcjnent as to the require ments of the engineers, and the meeting will be. continued on Monday when this will be considered. The owners of steam schooners state that rates on freight have fallen from I0.SO to $2 during the last few months, and that while they are willing to pay the wages asked by the engineers at the present time, they are so hedged about by conditions imposed by the union men that they cannot afford it. One of these conditions is the requirement that all steam schooners carry three engineers, nnd that overtime be paid-. after certain hours of each day. Regulations regarding shore leave and other-things are also a point of difference. Indications now are that unless some agreement is reached early in the coming week a strike will be called, as the owners are determined to eliminate some of the regulations they claim are unfair. Other unions, such, as the sailors and the stevedores, may be drawn into the trouble. There are about 40 steam schooners lying idle at East Oakland for want of cargoes to carry nt the present time. SANTA CJLARA IN" TROUBLE Xnme-Boaril and . "Lifeboat Come Ashore on Vancouver Island. SAX .FRANCISCO; Feb. 7. The Mer chants' Exchange has received word that the beach patrol at Carmanah Point. Virticoiivcr Island, reports having found a quantity of wreckage, including part of a cargo of lumber? a vessel's name board marked "Santa Clara," In gilt letters on a bluck background, and a double-ended boat inscribed "M. B. Stock, Builder." The coast steamer Santa Clara Is now at Seattle. (The wreckage is probably from the American ship Santa Clara. The latter has been engaged in the coastwise busi ness for a number of years. She arrived in San Francisco December 18 from Cooks Inlet. She Is a vessel of 1453 net tons burden and Is commanded by Captain Sparr. The nameJboard corresponds with the one carried by the Santa Clara. She was built at Bath. Me., in 1876 and is owned by the Alaska Packers' Asso ciation.) STEAMER FOR COPPER RIVER Contract for Construction Has Been Let to Joseph Supple.

The vessol will be 100 feet long, 24 feet beam and 4 feet depth of hold! She will be built here and sent to the North In knock-down shape. The new steamer will be the property of the Copper River & Northwest Navi gation Company. The concern is a branch of the Guggenheim interests, now engaged in the construction of a railroad up the river. According to the specifications the steamer will be equipped with Moser type boilers and high pressure engines of big power. She will be used to carry passengers and l'reig-ht and will also assist in the construction work of the railroad along the river.

Her run out was a little better than the average, but she received prompt dispatch, and on October 6 was ready for the return voyage.

PROTEST IS TARDY Councilman Vaughn Assails Dekum-Avenue Contract. THINKS WORK BADLY DONE Says Priee Was Exorbitant and Also - Charges That Gravel Was Unlaw fully Removed From the Street by Workmen. "Highway robbery" is the way Coun cilman Vaughn refers to the contract price of 54 cents a cubic foot for re moving dirt on the Dekum avenue grad ing job, the work having" been done by Stephens Bros, and Harry Howard. Mr. Vaughn lives on the thoroughfare, and declares that he will be forced to pay J307 for worn, which he could have had done on his own account for $50. He also charges that Harry Howard "mined' the gravel from Dekum avenue and un lawfully carted it to Going street, where it was used in improving that thorough fare. City Engineer Taylor and Inspector George F. Bodman are involved in Mr. Vaughn's charges as they had charge of the city's interests. Both hold that the job Is well done. The charges toy Mr. Vaughn were made before the street committee of the council yesterdav. After a long discussion, during which Councilman Vaughn left the chair to ex plain why he had not protested against tne Improvement, the committee voted to go in a body to view the street at 2 o clock next Tuesday afternoon. On its findings will depend whether they will authorize payment for the job- Some contend that the council has no power to stop payment, the work having been let according to the provisions of the charter, and having been accepted by the city engineer. If the Executive Board accepts the work, it is said, the city must pay. There is the greatest possible difference between the declarations of Councilman Vaughn and of a large number of his constituents who live along Dekum five nue and City Engineer Taylor and In spector Bodman. One side, alleges not only poor work and failure to follow the specifications, but actual theft of gravel from Dekum avenue. The other side as serts with great emphasis that the job is a good one and that the gravel was not removed to any great extent. "I did not protest the improvement be cause of the fact that I was a member of the council," declared Mr. Vaughn after leaving the chair. "I did not want to act because I did not wish to enter Into any controversy wherein I would have to argue a personal matter before my colleagues, but I will say that during the grading of Dekum avenue I saw that the workmen were going below grade that they were 'mining' gravel from our thoroughfare and screening jt, after wards hauling it to Going street, where It was used. I personally warned the foreman and also notified the city en gineer at least a half-dozen times; but got no help. After removing the gravel from the avenue the contractor filled up the holes with dirt, which has left us a worse thoroughfare than we had before- the so-called Improvement was made." Several residents of DekHm avenue spoke, corroborating Mr. Vaughn's declar ations, each one emphatically alleging tnat tne avenue is in poor condition- worse than before the contractors aid the work. They also swore that gravel was removed by Harry Howard's men from Dekum avenue and was used on Going street. There was no complaint -as to the man ner in which the work on the eight blocks of the Job improved by Stephens Bros, was done, and It was the senti ment of the members of the committee that this bill should be paid. It cannot be paid, however, without Howard's bill being included, as the contract was let in a lump. "I believe that our system of street Improvements is all wrong," declared Councilman Rushlight, a member of the committee. "The charter provisions in this matter should be altered and the evils of our system remedies, and I feel that H is the duty of the council to' initi ate this reform. It ought to be so that when a contractor finishes a block of work that lie can get his money from the city without having to go to the brokers for money, for which he has to pay a high rate of interest. This makes him bid higher and in the end the tax payers have to stand the expense." Mr. Rushlight expressed himself of the opinion that Harry Howard should be compelled to repair any part of the work that Is found to be imperfect, but How ard declared he was done with the Job; that it had been accepted by the city engineer and that he would do no more on it. LEADER OF GANG CAUGHT "Del" Haywood, Accused of Hills dale Robbery, in Jail. "Del" . Haywood, the leader of the trio . of youthful highwaymen who robbed Postmaster Merser of, $90 at Hillsdale last Monday night, was ar rested at Mount Angel," near Wood burn, ar.d lodged in the County Jail yesterday morning by Deputy United States Marshall Terry. Deputy Mar shall Griffith and Deputy Sheriff Bulger then went to Haywood's home, near Fulton, and secured the revolver which was used in the hold-up. A full confession was secured from Haywood yesterday by the Sheriff. Haywood admitted not only having held up the Hillsdale postmaster, but also a man on the Macadam road last Saturday night. In the latter hold up Haywood says he and his two ac complices secured nothing-. They went to Hillsdale to hold up the postoffice on that night, but when they arrived they found the store ' and postoffice closed. Returning, they- met the lone pedestrian, and, ordering him to throw up his hands, went through his pockets. Haywood will be tried in the Federal Court for the postoffice robbery. QUARTERLY MEETING HELD County W. C. T. U. Convenes in the Rodney-Avenue Christian Church. The quarterly meeting of -the County W. C. T. U. was held yesterday at the Rodney-Avenue Christian Church, begin ning at 10 A. M. After the devotional exercises conducted by Mrs. Ida Barkley, the state superintendent, the subject of "Peace and Unity" was presented by the superintendent, Mrs. Van Tyne. Several others spoke, emphasizing the need of training children in kindness to animate, and discourageing the war spirit and mili tarism by showing the need of heroism in daily life among others in our own country. Mrs. M. Tj. Hidden talked on Tier depart ment of "Purity in Literature and Art," showing the need of good literature for the children, and also chaste and artistic pictures. Mrs. M. E. Fullilove sang a solo which was greatly enjoyed. The afternoon session opened with de votions by Mrs. M. El Fullilove. Mrs. M. M. Sleeth presented the subject "What is Oregon's Greatest Need?" She said. "We have 105 unions to spread our influence over this great atate. Women and money are the great needs. The forces of evil are organized as never before and we must continue to fight them." She gave a thrilling account of her experiences in Eastern Oregon, where she has been on a lecture tour recently. She made an eloquent plea for help. Mrs. M. E. Hoxter told of her experiences in a tour through the same region, years ago. The work in the Sunday schools was next discussed by Mrs. Hanson and others, who told of ways of Interesting the clu'ldren. After another beautiful solo by Mrs. Fullilove, Mrs. M. L. Hidden talked, in the absence of Mrs. Leo, on the subject "Anti-Narcotics,!' declaring that the use of tobacco leads young men to the use of intoxicating liquor. She spoke of the danger to the girls who are also contract ing the habit. She gave instances of the evil effects of inhaling the fumes of to bacco on women and children. "Mothers' meetings" was the last sub Ject. Several talked emphasizing the correct training or the children. Mrs. Hanson spoke of the evil caused by saying "don't" too much. The re eponsjbility of both fathers and mothers was emphasized., Mrs. Roper gave a touching account of the funeral of a young sailor held in the Seamen's In stitute. Resolutions were passed indorsing the suppression of poolrooms; asking the observance by the pastors of one Sunday evening In a month for the temperance work in each church, and thanking the oaney-Avenue Christian Church for its use for. the sessions. .
