THE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY, JUNB 23, 1908. arrived today from Willapa Harbor via San Francisco with passengers and S50.000 feet of lumber for the Salt Lake Rail road. After having docked today, the steamer SHIPMENT SOUTH Shuayak, Captain Hutton, arriving from Astoria with a cargo of grain, was or dered out to the outer harbor to await quarantine inspection. 13 CARRIES UNUSUAL WPH w3 I " F Hran' Sailing-Vessel Takes Full Car go of Grain to San Francisco. FIRST CHARTER FOR YEARS steady Demand for Wheat in Cali fornia on Account of Short Crop Takes Up All Available Steamer Space. The schooner Oliver J. Olson, on her trip out, will take a full cargo of wheat for San Francisco. This will be the first full cargo taken by a sail ing: vessel coastwise for many years from this port in fact, none of the old timers along; the front can recall Just when the last cargo was taken. The Olson is well known in this port as a lumber carrier, and has now been pressed Into the grain service on ac count of the unprecedented demand for w" -a.t in San Francisco much greater than can be handled by steam vessels plying between the two ports. No such movement has been known in the history of the grain business in the North Pacific. Local exporters had expected an unusual demand from California on account of the short crop, but the demand for shipments was so long delayed that when it did come it was with a rush, and dealers were un provided with facilities to handle it. The Olson Is estimated to carry- about 1000 tons of grain, and this amount added to what has already ! gone south on eteamers, will bring the 'season's shipments to San Francisco 'near the record. Exporters appear to ' have under-estimated the shortage of ' the California crop. 1 The following table shows the ship ments for the month of Juno .by steam ship to San Francisco: Steaemrs. Tons.

FLOOD WILL XOW SUBSIDE Maximum Height at Portland Was Reached Yesterday. The records at the Weather Bureau and reports received by A. Jodholz, forecaster in charge, indicate that the stage of water in the rivers reached the maximum yesterday, and that the flood will rapidly recede. Yesterday's high mark was 21.1 feet and a marked fall was expected last niKht. Mr. Lodholz said last night: '"In general, the season has been very backward, not only In Portland but more especially east of the moun tains in Idaho, Eastern Washington and in British Columbia, where the water came from that caused the flood. "There was considerable snowfall in British Columbia, and owing to the backwardness of the season, the snow remained on the hillsides until the fore part of June, when abnormally warm weather set in east of the moun tains, causing a rapid melting of the snow. As a consequence, the Snake rose rapidly, as did also the Upper Columbia." Stages of the Upper Columbia and Snake Rivers at various points at 8 A. M. yesterday were: , Feet.

Kelton. ASTORIA, Or., June 21. (Special.) The German bark Albert Rickmers, which ar rived in this afternoon 154 days from Hamburg', brings a full cargo of cement for Portland. Captain Delks, master of the bark, re ports an uneventful trip excepting that very severe weather was encountered during the three weeks the bark was off the Horn, but no damage was done the vessel. Captain Delks was formerly mate on the Peter Rickmers, recently lost on the Atlantic Coast, and left her last Christ mas to take his present command. Captains Genereaux and Pillsbury, salvors for the underwriters, who have been making an examination of the sunken steam schooner Minnie E. Kel ton, decided todfay to ask for bids on raising the vessel and taking her to the St. John dry dock. Tacoma Marine News. TACOMA, June 21. Clearances of lum ber and mill products from the local cus toms house during the past week were exceptionally heavy. The clearances by the British steamers Suveric, River Forth and Strathford and French steam er Amtral Uu Perre totaled 5,855,155 feet, but the amount actually shipped from Tacoma aggregated 3.714,008 feet of lum ber, lath and pickets, valued at $43,776, in addition to the box shooks, sash doors and windows. This cargo is going to the Orient, Australia, Tasmania and the West Coast. This week the German ship Alsterkamp will clear with 1,700,000 feet of lumber for Callao, and the German steamer Theban with 1,500,000 feet for La Boca. After a cruise of 12 days the fishing yawl Admiral Dewey returned today with 16.000 pounds of halibut.

Immigration Inspectors Tappan and Jarvls leave tomorrow for St. Johns, N. F., taking Peter Riley, an insane alien who has been ordered deported. Steamer Delhi left for Seattle to com plete cargo for Skagway and ports. TRANSPORT SHERMAN ARRIVES Was Quarantined for Seven Days at Astoria Station. After being held up at Astoria by the quarantine officers for seven days on ac count of having smallpox patients aboard, the Government transport Sherman finally was released and come through to Portland yesterday. The big vessel ar rived at 3 P. M. and tied up at Greenwich Dock with over 800 souls aboard and a clean bill of health in possession of the quartermaster-captain. The transport brought In 28 officers, 14 officers' wive, several children, 520 mem bers of the First Infantry and 280 casuals. In addition, she carries a full complement of ship's officers and seamen. The vessel is in command of Captain Brojue as sail ing master, with Captain Babcock repre senting the Quartermaster-General's De partment of the Army, under whose direc tion the transport is commissioned. Lieutenant-Colonel James S. Rogers was in command of the regiment. The First Regiment is on its way to re port at Vancouver Barracks, having been ordered home from the Philippines, where it had been stationed for the last few years. When smallpox was discovered aboard, it at first was deemed advisable to put into San Francisco, but afterward it was decided to keep the course to the Columbia River, and the ship was turned over to the health authorities at the As toria Quarantine Station. The vessel was thoroughly fumigated after the sick men were removed to the shore' hospital, and hen put under the customary observa tion for a week. When no signs of a re currence of the disease were found, the transport was released and allowed to proceed on her trip. The safe passage across the bar and T LONGER Evidence That Swift Interests Will Build. TO DISCUSS STREET WORK Important Meeting of Realty Board Tomorrow Building Operations Continue Values Advancing, Though Xo Boom Evidenced. Actual construction of Swift & Co.'s mammoth packing plant on the Penin sula will begin as soon as the high water recedes sufficiently to permit the pre liminary work of installing the founda tions to proceed. Bids for the work will plant of its products in Portland, which apparently will result in two branches of the same house entering into competition with each other. James B. Melkle, president of the Trustee Company of Portland, says ex cavation work on the Pennoyer block will probably start by August 1. Plans for the Olds, Wortman & King building, which is to occupy the site, are rapidly approaching completion, but excavation will begin by the date named, even if the plans for the superstructure are not finished and accepted. Tomorrow night the meeting of the Realty Board is to be held in the conven tion hall of the Commercial Club. The meeting promises to be of more than or dinary Interest, as the matter of charter provisions concerning street Improvements will be up for discussion and also a move ment started to secure the services of R. H.- Thomson In starting reforms in street work. Whitney L. Boise is to address the meeting on a subject in which all mem bers of the board are deeply interested, and the recently organized Civic Improve ment committee has been invited to Join in the several matters coming before the meeting. Much favorable comment was given the booklet prepared, by citizens of the Peninsula district, which was distributed in large numbers to visitors during Rose Festival week. The book gives In read able and concise form principal facts re garding that important district of the city, and outlines what the future has in Sau Pedro Shipping. SAX PEDRO, Cal., June 21.

LOS ANGELES, Cal.. June 21. (Special.) The body of Dr. J. H. Logan, veterinary surgeon of Weston, Or., found in Laurel Canyon Wednesday, was buried .t the expense of the county yesterday. The remains were disposed of in accordance with Instructions received in the following telegram to Coroner Hartwell: "Bury J. H. Logan there. Write par ticulars. R. F. JOHNSON." Coroner Hartwell signed a death cer tificate stating that death was due to causes unknown to the Coroner. It was believed by friends and acquaintances here that Dr. Logan had been possessed of means, and the receipt of the forego ing telegram surprised the authorities. Olympla Beer. "It's the water."

F. J. Leonard, of Chicago, architect for the Union Meat Company, reached Port land yesterday and will remain until the various contracts have been awarded and the work of construction has begun. To Award Bids This Week. "Bids for the erection of buildings In cluded in the proposed plant will be awarded this week," said Mr. Leonard yesterday, "and work on these- contracts will be inaugurated as soon as the stage of the water will permit- I shall remain In Portland until the bids have been opened. The work will be pushed right along, for it Is not the practice of our people to abandon any undertaking until it has been finally completed." C. C. Colt, president of the Union Meat Company and local representative for the Swifts in their big Portland enter prise, last week advertised for bids for the foundation of the main building, invit ing immediate figures on the work. Bids also have been asked for wooden piling with concrete caps and It is expected that the foundation will be completed within 60 days after the work has begun. By that time the contracts for the super structure will have been received and awarded. . One Building to Cost $500,000. The main structure will be six stories in height and will cost about $500,000. It will consist of a building 200x130 feet with an annex 130x'a feet. The plies for this building are to be sunk 50 feet into the ground and the floor level of the first story is to be 26 feet above low water. In advertising for bids for the super structure, the company will ask for esti mates for both brick and concrete, reserv ing the privilege of accepting the most satisfactory. Other conditions being equal, local bidders will be favored In awarding contracts. A further reservation is made by the company, however, by which it will erect its plant through Its engineer ing and contracting departments if the bids that are submitted should prove un satisfactory. Ready to Operate In Year. The present plans of the company are to have the main building completed within one year and possibly sooner. Only an unforeseen contingency will de feat this intention. By that time it Is also proposed to have four other large buildings, together with the 30-acre stock yards, completed and ready for operation. Each of theHe four buildings will be two or three stories in height, constructed on foundations that will carry additional stories should the growth of the Industry require increased room. These structures will range from 100 to 150 feet In length and from 75 to loo feet in width. It is evident that Swut & Co. mean business and will lose no time in estab lishing Its plant in this city. The arrival of Mr. Leonard, supervising architect, so soon after bids had been advertised for the work,, is regarded as further as surance that the packing concern is de sirous of establishing itself on an operat ing basis in this territory in the shortest time possible. A representative of the construction de partment of Swift & Co. is expected to arrive In Portland in a day or two to pass on bids submitted by local contractors for piling and foundation work, plans for which have been reaay for examination at the office of the Union Meat Company for several days. The new plant Is to be officially known under the name of the Union Company. The Swifts control stock in that company, but for business rea sons the Eastern concern prefers to con tinue the name under which the local business has been built up. It is unof ficially announced that the Eastern house will continue to operate a distributing store. Reference is made to the big en terprises already decided upon and what will result from having the district served with three lines of railroad. The transfer by Blaise Labbe, trustee, to himself, of an undivided one-third In terest in a lot and building at Second and Washington, gave rise to a report that the Labbe building had been sold. The re port is without foundation. Alterations and repairs may be undertaken on the building within the next few months, but those interested say there is no inten tion to put the property on the market. W. H. Moore and others sold last week 70 feet of tot 7, block 220. East Portland, for $8000. Lots In Vernon are bringing good prices and sales are reported brisk. Several recent sales were made at 1500 a lot. Sale was recorded last week of a three acre Irregular tract on the east line of Twenty-first street and Thurman, from C. B. Jioulton to C. B. Murchard. The Drs. Nichols have bought from the American Trust & Investment Company lots 1. 2, 3 and 4 of block 24S, at a record ed price of 2i,000. Directors of the Baby Home, located at Thirty-seventh and Ellsworth streets, have under consideration the erection of an annex. The association has an option on the ground adjoining the home at about $5000. The option will expire July 1, A permit was issued last week to Mult nomah County for alterations on the Armory building, estimated to cost $2000. J. E. Dolen has awarded the contract to A. A. Arend for the erection of his $6000 residence at East Sixteenth and Wasco streets. The contract for building a $3300 dwelling for S. H. Beach at City View Park has been awarded. A permit has been issued to R. B. Rice to erect a dwelling on Clackamas street, between Seventeenth and Nineteenth, es timated to cost $5000. Another Indication of the strength of the market came to notice in a bid made for 50 feet on Alder street, between Twelfth and Fifteenth. The lot was bought a few weeks ago for $15,000 and Saturday a bid of $20,000 was turned dowm The desirable location of the lot accounts in a measure for the offer, though recent sales in that part of the city were made on about the same basis of valuation as the bid referred to. J. J. Morgan has the contract for ex cavating and foundations and E. Oberg for general construction for two bunga lows to be built for Mrs. A. Jenkins at East Tenth and Tillamook. The estimated cost is $5000. ' No falling off In the number of permits being issued for residences Is noticeable, and there is a marked increase in the number for flat buildings and apartment houses. Alterations are being made in the build ing at 88 First street, formerly occupied by the Pick Transfer Company. When these changes are made, the quarters are to be occupied by the Otis Elevator Com pany. W. C. Knighton is completing plans for a residence of r. P. Dabney at Mount Tabor, which will be ready for inspec tion today or tomorrow. Mr. Knighton asks for bids for the terracotta work on the new Rosenblatt Hotel at Tenth and Alder. Rapid progress Is being made on the townsite of Kenton, the plat adjoining the site of the Union Meat Company's plant down the Peninsula. Stumps are being blasted and grading of streets is under way. Three large buildings are already projected at Argyle and Derby streets. One of these is to be the office building of the company. A banking house is also to be erected on the site of the new town. C. W. Green has the contract for erect ing the $8000 Hatfield flat building to be built at Nineteenth and Quimby streets. Bennes. Hendricks & Tobey announce that plans for the Blumauer-Frank build ing at Park and Everett streets will be ready for bids July 1. "Taft nominated: close deal held up pending news." That was the contents of a telegram received by a local broker from an Eastern Oregon client last Fri day. The broker had received for his man an option for a few days on a piece of Portland realty and upon receipt of the dispatch immediately went to work to have articles of agreement drawn up and signed. When this information reached "the street" the news was received with both expressions of approval and derision, prompted by the hearers' political affiliations. M PIPE LINE BADLY NEEDED DR. BAFFKTY DISCUSSES CITY WATER SUPPLY. Urges Necessity of Acting Promptly to Obtain Larger Plow From Bull Run River. Farseelng men who are looking forward to the time when Portland will have 500, 000 and more people are concerned about the water supply, and are asking the question whether steps should not now be taken to secure every drop of water in the Bull Run reserve. Incidentally this question was considered at the meeting of the North East Side Improvement Asso ciation last Friday night. M. G. Munly, the president, in speaking of the matter, declared that not only was a second Bull Run pipe line necessary, but that it was absolutely imperative that the future water supply be taken into consideration, and that all the water supply in the re serve should be conserved. In- reply to a question as to the supply from Bull Run Itself, Dr. Raffety, a mem ber of the water board, said that this sec ond pipe line, which would have double the capacity of the present pipe, or nearly 60,000 gallons, would take up the entire flow' from Bull Run at low water, but that there are times when the water in Bull Run Is high and as much as 200. 000.000 gallons of water every day is de livered. Dr. Raffety said: "It will be necessary to take steps to save this water of Bull Run by construc tion of a big dam somewhere above the present headworks. I certainly urge these push clubs to work for this second pipe line with all possible energy. We need it right now. The Mount Tabor pipe line which was laid down the Pe ninsula was expected to supply 35.000 peo ple, but it is already overtaxed by the growth of the district. I have been agi tating this second pipe line for some time. We voted the bonds a year ago last June, but the matter is hung up with the other bond issues. "It will take a year to build this sec ond, pipe line. We have a railroad to carry the pipe out part of the distance. We have the bridges and the rights of way, and can build it much quicker than we did the first one. Until we do get that pipe line you will be short of water when ever there is a heavy draw, and this shortage will increase."
