THE MORNING OREGONTAN, SATURDAY, MARC II 21, 190S. lO FULL WHEAT CftRGQ ES French Ship Takes Grain to Queenstown or Falmouth . for Orders. LEAD SOUND SHIPMENTS K.xports for March l"rt)m Portland Kxceed 1,000.000 Bnshels Less Than 4 00,000 Clear From Ports on Paget Sound. The French ship Jules Gommes, Cap tain Thoumire, cleared yesterday for Queenstown or Falmouth for orders, with lS.Wl bushels of wheat, valued at 1"5.000. The Jules Gommes will leave down today and wilt proceed to sea an noon as possihle. The clearance of the Jules Gommes brings the wheat ship ments up to 1.023.751 bushels for the month of March. In addition there, has been the sailing of the Numantia. with 5.'li barrels of flour, destined for the Orient. Reducing this to a basis of wheat, the exports from Portland for the first 30 days of March reach a grand total of 1.257.923 bushels. This Is largely In excess of any corresponding period for the same month In the history of Portland. Figures secured from the Merchants' Exchange show the total exports of wheat from all Sound ports for the first SO dnys of March to be only 364,494 bush els. The addition of another cargo to the Portland fleet would have put tho Oregon metropolis a good 1.000.000 busliels in advance of Pug.n Sound. These figures are accurate. Statistics compiled by the Government for the month of February fhow an error of about WO.OOO bushels for Puget Sound. That section Is given credit for that amount In excess of what was set afloat. While Portland stood first for February by a small margin, the chances are good for a much larger margain for the present month. Foreign shipments of flour have been slow for the past three months. This Is largely due to the. fact that Japan was making no extensive purchases and mer chants of Hongkong and other Chinese ports were waiting for Spring to open up before placing large orders. l'REXClt CAPTAIX COMPLAINS Master of Ship Hoche Anxious to Have Her Moved. Captain Lemaitre, master of the French ship Hoche. has tiled a complaint with Harbormaster Speier. on account of the fnllure of the O. HI & N. Company to shift his vessel from the foot of Mill street to the lower harbor. The French skipper alleges that he Is being delayed on account of a few logs at the draw rest of the Madison-street bridge. He further states that these could be removed at little expense and his vessel allowed to proceed to the lower harbor. For the past week there has been a heavy freshet In the ' Willamette RlVer and the handling of deep-water crafts above the upper bridge is exceedingly dangerous. Captain Conway, euperlnten dent of water lines for the O. R. & N. Company, told Captain Lemaitre that he would move his ship If the latter would sign a bond covering any damage that might result to the bridge. Captain Con way considered It unsafe to make the at tempt with tho heavy current running. The location of the draw at the Madison-street bridge Is at angles with the current and during a freshet It Is a dangerous place to navigate. LEOXA TO GO IX COMMISSION Steamer Chartered to Tow Logs on the Lower River. John McCoy, president of the North Fork Logging Company, has chartered the steamer Leona. to operate on the Lewis and Columbia rivers. The boat will be placed In commission as soon as possible. It is the intention to operate her on the North Fork of the river and bring down lumber and log rafts. The Leona was built and Is owned by M'illiam Marshall and Captain Newt Graham. The former is a marine en gineer and the latter a rllot. She has been tied up at the east approach to the MHdlson-street bridge for the past six years. The Leona is a staunch craft and has seen good service on the Upier Willam ette River. She is small and has a suffi cient amount of power to operate in bad water. She was built as an auxiliary steamer for the Oregon City Transporta tion Company In 1901. She operated only short while and was then tied up. For the past thi-ee years she has been at th Joseph Supple yards. MILDKKT CAVT BE SAVED t-chooner Gradually Breaking Cp on Grays Harbor South Jtty. ABERDEEN. Wash., March SO, (Spe cial.! Captain Peasley, who went to the wreck of the schooner Mildred, says the vessel cannot be saved. She has grad ually worked Inward and now lies about t'O feet from the outer end of the south jetty, with her bow pointing shoreward and the planking on her starboard side from the main to the mlxzen rigging badly broken. There are several large holes In her side, and the main mast has settled, showing that her back is broken as a result of the continued pounding. The schooner C. R. Wilson, reported axhore near lite Mildred, Is safe at her dock here. The captain of the Wilson saw the Mildred go ashore when the Wilson was about seven miles away. The schooner Meteor will go on the marine railway for an overhauling. Breakwater Make Record Trip.

The Breakwater made the run" from Astoria dock to the landing place in North Bend In lb hours and 20 minutes. From bar to bar the log book showed 14 hours and 5 minutes. Bad weather has been pre vailing and the performance of the Break wat'T i" considered a record-breaker. .Marine Notes From San Pedro. s?AN PEDRO, March 30. H. P.

AUSTIN IS SENTENCED Advertising Dentist Will Get Writ of Habeas Corpus, or Appeal. Ten days in the City Jail and a fine of $125 was the penalty dealt out in the Municipal Court yesterday forenoon to Dr. P. L. Austin, charged with practic ing dentistry without a license. It was Dr. Austin's third . appearance in the course of six weeks on the same charge. The first time he was released, the sec ond time he appealed from conviction and this time habeas corpus proceedings will be made use of to prevent a 10 days' sojourn in the city bastlle.a Dr. Austin contends that he is being persecutes because of the large patron age he has won through the medium of paid advertisements. Scores of dentists are practicing without licenses, pending an examination by the Dental Board in May. and they are not molested, he avers. In admitting such to be the case, members of the Dental Board say that no formal complaints have been made against other unlicensed dentists, but that the Board will act at once should any other complaints be pre sented. The penalty Imposed yesterday does not -become operative until today, and the interval will be utilised by the con victed dentist In perfecting an appeal or securing a writ of habeas corpus. Kxaminations for Chauffeurs. Examinations for chaffeurs were held at the City Hall yesterday afternoon. 2 applicants being present-The work is under the direction of an automobile commission, of which B. D. Inman is chairman.

LUMBER BENEFITS MOST Reduction Will Affect All Shipments on West Side and Yamhill Di visions to Points South of AN bany on the Main Line. Lower freight rates that wi.. consid erably benefit manufacturing industries in South Portland and along the West Side and Yamhill divisions of the South ern Pacific have Just been announced by the traffic department of the Harriman lines. The new rates will become effect ive April 23 and will apply to all points on the Southern Pacific south of Albany. The new schedule will give to all ship pers on the two divisions named a tariff to the southern part of the state Just 25 cents a ton in excess of the rates charged from the Park street of Main freight de pot. This rate wilt apply on all com modities shipped in carload lots. Heretofore the South Portland indus tries and those along the West Side and Yamhill divisions., have been compelled to overcome a big handicap in selling to the Southern Oregon market. It has been necessary for them to pay the distance tariffs, which form the maximum sched ule from the place of shipment to desti nation. These tariffs run considerably higher than the local tariffs from the main freight depot In Portland which must now be paid with an additional 23 cents a ton. Lumber is the chief commodity shipped from the territory affected toy this re duction into Southern Oregon. Industries in South Portland have long been work ing for transportation facilities ttjat will place them on equal footing for shipments with factories In other sections of the city and the schedule just announced is re garded as a step toward this goal. PORTLAND GENERAL XO MORE PropertAH Transferred to Portland Railway, Light & Power Co. Final steps were taken yesterday af ternoon at a meeting of the directors of the Portland General Electric Company to transfer all properties held by that corporation to the Portland Railway. Light & Power Company. . This is one of the last steps In the complete merg ing of the electric light, power and trac tion Interests of the city which was ef fected, as to ownership, several years ago. Title to the properties of the old Portland Railway Company will also be assumed by the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company within a week, for mally completing the merger. When the Portland Railway. Light & Power Company was organized it was thought advisable to maintain the ex istence of the component corporations. Title to the extensive holdings was also retained by the subsidiary companies un til the affairs of these companies should be changed to conform to the new rela tionship. The transfer of title at this time is simply a formal change of owner ship and will not in any way affect the management of the properties. The deed conveying the property to the head company was filed in the office of the County Clerk yesterday afternoon. It covered almost 60 closely typewritten pages. The holdings enumerated are very extensive, comprising all the real property, franchises and grants heid in the name of the Portland General Elec tric company. The most important holdings are those in Portland. Oregon City and Cuzadero. There are enumer ated franchises in several Willamette Valley cities, property of the Union Light & Power Company in Marion County; property In Vancouver, Wash.; the gas works and the electric light plant at Salem, formerly belonging to the Citi zens' Light & Traction Company; the Salem street railway; 9995 out of 10.004 shares In the Willamette Transportation & Locks Company; 996 out of 1000 shares of the Willamette Falls Company: 2497 of 2300 shares of the Portland Hydraulic Elevator Company; 1794 out of 1SO0 shares of the Union Power Company; 497 of 500 shares of the Vancouver Electric Light & Power Company and other prop erties.

' YANCKWICH HAS GRIEVANCE City Attorney, He Says, Will Not Punish Employment Agents. Attorney Harry Yanckwlch denies that he commenced an altercation with Deputy City Attorney Tomlinson, as published yesterday, and states that the trouble, if it can be called such, was precipitated by the refusal of City Attorney Kavanaugi and his deputies to do their duty and grant him the warrants he requested. In stating his side of the controversy, Mr. Kanekwlch said: "In the first place, I am not a Rus sian, but to get to the facts In this matter. I have acted in the capacity of attorney for a number of men who have been victimized by those so called employment agencies, but I have been unable to secure any action on the part of the City Attorney's office toward having these men arrested and tried for their offense against the law. These men engaged In the business are taking advantage of the time that exists before the new law compelling them to file bonds goes into effect, and under the existing circumstances we have no recourse against them except to have them arrested and tried before the court. In some way they are al--ways notified by the City Attorney's office of such proposed - action and then settle the matter by returning the fees assessed the workingmen for jobs they do not get. but the workingman Is not reimbursed for the railway fares he pays to the scene of these mythical Jobs. ' These men who seek employment through these agencies are poor men who have no money wherewith to maintain themselves for a lengthy stay In the city and are therefore un able to remain here long enough for a civil action to be brought to recover their money, and the only chance to get back at these grafting employment agents is to have them arrested and tried before theMunicipal Court, and I have tried repeatedly to have them arrested, only to be forestalled by the City. Attorney's office. His deputies have the employment agents come up to his office and settle the claim and thereby prevent any further action." RIVAL INTERESTS CONFLICT Property-Owners Dispute Over Re grade of Portsmouth Avenue. A la nee delegation of citizens from the Peninsula appeared before the streets committee of the City Council yesterday afternoon, seeking favorable action on the proposed regrade of Portsmouth avenue. There were also some present who are remonstrating-. Speeches were made by rep resentatives from both sides, after which the matter was referred to City Attorney Kavanaugh and City Kngineer Taylor for consideration as to legal and engineering phases. A large number of resident on the Pen insula and surrounding territory are clam oring for the opening of Portsmouth ave nue to the harbor line, and they declared yesterday that they must sooner or later have this improvement If the district is ever to go ahead and prngpr as it should.

I obtain complete results in every case I treat. CONSULTATION FREE MY HONEST AND CANDID ADVICE COSTS YOU NOTHING. I cheerfully give you the very best opinion, Kuldc-d by years of successful practice.
