Never in maritime annals, in the district from Portland to the sea, has there been such a series of accidents as have been recounted for 48 hours ending; last niarht. Probably at. no time in the history of the port has there been such a list, covering; even a period of several months, with so mall a percentage of harm to human beings, only one man having been in jured and he not fatally. While disclaiming any faith in ill omens and scouting any leaning to ward superstitions that oftimes in fluence deep-water salts, rivermen are wondering if the siege is terminated nnd none are content until they see their steamers returning to port safe and sound. But a few of the acci dents have been classed as serious, even in a financial way. and some of them represent but a nom inaioioss. Rosecrans Starts Series. The series was Inaugurated late Tuesday night when the steamer Rose crans struck the dredge Portland as the former was entering the "Willam ette with an oil cargo, and damage resulted which necessitated the Port land being towed to the Willamette Iron & Steel Works, where she under went repairs yesterday and will be lifted on the drydock today. About the same time a dipper dTedge owned toy the Columbia Contract Company was sunk near there by fouling a snag, which passed through her hull and house. Wednesday morning the steamship Beaver grounded in the lower harbor while en route to Astoria and the steamer T. J. Potter, which took off her passengers that afternoon, was in collision at about 1 o'clock yesterday morning near Henrlcl's, with the barge Klickitat, which was in tow of the Port of Portland towboat Ocklahama. Confusion reigned for a time among the 175 passengers, but after Captain Work, of the Potter, ascertained by turning her toward shore for an ex amination, that she was in no danger of sinking, he proceeded to Portland, where she arrived at 4 o'clock. One Wreck Leads to Another. The bow of the Klickitat struck the Potter on the starboard side, tearing through her heavy guard and crashing Into the hull and damaging the house for a distance of 10 feet. The nose of the barge suffered some and three cavils were pulled from her deck. The barge had been started for Astoria to be used in lightering the Beaver, which had 1500 tons of cargo, but she was damaged to such an extent that she was returned to the O. R. & N. boneya-rd. where the Potter Is also undergoing repairs that are expected to be completed in a week. In a report made to Local Inspectors Kdwards and Fuller, before whom a hearing will be conducted Tuesday morning. Pilot Turppa, of the Ockla hama. says that when he sighted the Potter the weather was clear and on seeing her approach he gave two whis tles. The" Potter, he says, answered with the danger signal and one whis tle and after he had reversed his helm, fhe gave two whistles. The written report of Pilot Myers, of the Potter, had not been received, late yesterday. While some of the passengers were awake at the time, most of Shem. were aroused by the force and noise of the collision, and the shook, following so close on their experience on the Beaver, caused consternation, but fin ally the ofivers and more cool headed travelers succeeded in quieting the others. Collision Not Kxplalned. JuM how the accident occured those concerned say "they do not know." Ap parently it was one of tliowe collisions thut will not be explained until the in epectors concluds their investigation. At the office of Superintendent Campion, of the Port of Portland, and that of Su perintendent Conway, of the O. R. & X water lines, it was said the reports re ceived agree that the night was clear and that with the exception' of a light hase from forest fires, there was nothing to obstruct the view of either pilot. Meanwhile passepgera for Xorth Beach point will be taken to Magers on the steadier Harvest Queen, which carries SSft. and she will till in the- Potter s schedule. As complaint was made bv some of the passenger, against paying for berths on the steamer Potter, because they had purchased through transportation from San Francisco to Portland, local officers of the San Francisco & Portland Steam ship Company yesterday wired the execu tives at the Bay City to learn if a refund would be made and a reply will probably be received today. Beaver Floated Last Evening. The floating of the Beaver shortly be fore 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon proved a relief to many. The steamers M. F. Henderson and Sarah Dixon had been sent to her aid by the Shaver Transporta tion Company and it was planned that in addition to the Astoria cargo being re moved from her hold, that the river craft would take off some of that consigned to Portland, while the steamer Lurline was given the perishable cargo and baggage. The Beaver is due to sail Monday morn ing and will leave on time. Progress was made yesterday In dis charging the after deckload of the British steamer Rlverdale, stranded on the old pier of the Madison-street bridge. It is expected that sufficient will be re moved today so that she can be floated but it is not improbable a portion of her deckload forward will have to be hauled over the side. In addition to Fred De Rock, who was employed by the underwriters. Contractor Wakefield, engaged in building the new bridge, secured George Tilton, a diver, and both made further investigations yes terday, but they could not closely examine the steamer's bottom and until she is free again the exact nature of her in- ETEAMEB INTELLIGENCE, Dae to Arrive.

First Mate Lockhart, of the Rlverdale, was painfully injured yesterday after nogn through being struck by a slingload of timber, containing two pieces each a foot square. It struck his left knee and while it was not positively said at Good Samaritan Hospital last night that he had not sustained a fracture, it was thought he had escaped with a severe bruising. His was the only accident to a human being during the many mishaps of tha past two days on the rivers. While the tug John McCraken, of the Port of Portland fleet, was towing a barge past the Rlverdale yesterday, her propeller fouled a line used for holding boom sticks on the starboard side, and it became so closely wrapped about the blades that she was rendered helpless. She was towed toward the West Side by the steamer Hoo Hoo and the line re moved. Minor Accidents Many. Iater the steamer Diamond O passed upstream with a barge and her wash caused one of the barges used for lighter ing to go adrift, but it was secured again with, the help of most of the Rdverdale's Chinese crew. The Hoo Hoo also hauled the launch Lockin Bar into deep water at Swan Island yesterday morning, where she had been marooned all night. Late yester day afternoon it was reported that a scow was sinking in the Willamette, above Ross Island, but her owners were on hand to render assistance. As the steamer Tahoma was negotiating the Burnslde-street draw yesterday after noon, bound upstream, the draw swung toward the north, breaking off the pilot house jackstaff at the base, and narrow ly missing the steamer smokestack. 1TCAT.IS MAY COME " HERE Insurance Agent En Route to Dis cuss Iyocal Bid for Repairs. Telegraphic information received yesterday by the Willamette Iron & Steel Works was to the effect that a representative of the marine under writers, having in charge the salvage of the steamer Yucatan, bids for re pairs of which were recently opened at Victoria, would be In Portland this week to discuss details of the local firm's specifications. The agent's name is Logan and while it is not' indicated by the wire message that he will close a contract, the fact that he Is coming to confer with the lowest bidders is taken to Indicate that Portland is in line to secure the business, which will amount to thousands of dollars. The Yuca tan was wrecked in Alaskan waters and after being raised was towed to Esquimau, where she is being held pending the settlement of the salvage question. BALL TICKETS GOIXG FAST Game Between "Rax Ma Pa" and Calef Teams to Swell Mahr Fund. Tickets for the benefit ball game be tween the "Rai Ma Paz" bunch and the Calef Brothers' team to be played at the Vaughn-street park tomorrow after noon are selling in a lively fashion. All of the players are peddling tickets which will add a few more dollars to the fund for Miss Marjorle Mahr. Eddie Diedrich. who says he Is going to beat "Handsome" Joe Stutt out of a position on the "woozy wooaies." sold over 100 tickets for this game himself, and he says that if Stutt sells half as many, he will resign his claim to a place on the team. "Seattle Johnny" Callahan is a close rival to Stutt and Diedrich. for the dapper youngster made a canvass of the office buildings yesterday and dis posed of a goodly number of tickets. Many of those who are buying these tickets are really anxious to see the game, for it Is bound to be a scream in certain respects. FOUEIGN' LUMBER TRADE DULL Eastern & Western Mill Lays Off Night Crew Indefinitely. Finding no market for the best grades of lumber, so far as the foreign trade is concerned, the Eastern & Western Lumber Company has cur tailed its output by laying off the en tire night crew. Until general condi tions Improve, the men will not be re employed. This means a monthly loss in wages to the workmen of about J15.000. The Norwegian tramp Jethus. under charter to Balfour. Guthrie & Co., to load lumber for China, , will start workinir Manilov ot Y.r b- -. . Western. That is the only business lEiwunn negotiations are pend ing for another China cargo and ad ditional lurabe will be aboard the Oriental liner Rygja, which is there waiting orders as to the amount to be loaded. Fprnance Has New Wheel Fitted. Having had a new propeller fitted to increase her towing powers, the steamer ' Captain James Fornance, of the Government fleet in the Lower Columbia, was yesterday floated from the Oregon drydock and will leave down today. Marine Notes. United Wireless operators last night received the appended message from the steamer Rose City: Yesterday's arrivals in the lower river included the schooner Bangor, from San Francisco, which will load lumber at Knappton. As the steamer Eureka did not arrive until last night, because of the condition of Humboldt Bay bar, she will sail Sat urday nicht. Four A. M-, July 28, 1910, lat. 44 degrees north, long. 134 degrees west.. Temn. 54 degrees. Barometer 30.12,: cloudy; light uurmneaieny wind. It was yesterday reported that lumber freights coastwise, were dropping and that the schooner Bangor, which reached the river, had been fixed at 4.25 a thousand feet from the Columbia to San Diego. After a slow passage of 42 days from Pasaroen, via Yokohama, the British steamer Glennlee, under charter to load jumoer nere, has reached Victoria. She encountered considerable bad weather. Captain Graham, of the, Oresron citv Transportation Company, who started monaay on a trio down the Willamette from Eugene, has wired that between tnere and Harrlsburg it became neces sary to haul the skiff over three shoals. Captain Alexander Dow, formerly master of the steamer Bessie Dollar, and other vessels of the Dollar Steamship Company, reached the city yesterday on nis nret trip as superintendent of the Dollar marine interests, to which berth he was recently advanced. After completing the unloading of her cargo at Couch-street dock today the steamer Claremont will sail for Aber deen. The steamer Shna Yak arrived up last evening and the Washington and Saginaw are due today, when the Nome City and Daisy Freeman are to sail from the Golden Gate. With her water ballast tanks practically filled, representing a weight of 1100 tons, the Government dredge Chinook Is draw ing 14.01 feet of water and Captain Dur ham says when he takes on oil for fuel he will pump out a corresponriing amount of ballast, so that she will have no greater draft loaded. Captain MacLeod, skipper of the barge Gerard C. Tobey, Is on a hunt for a thief who relieved him of a gold watch and chain, locket, revolver and $7 In cash while he was asleep aboard the vessel Wednesday night. The Tobey will finish discharging at Supple's dock tomorrow and go to Stella for a cargo of ties for the Bay City. Following a voyage from Antwerp, that was featured by storms and a fire that broke out in hold No. 2 through combus tion, the British steamer St. Nicholas, which is also blamed for the steamer Beaver having grounded, is moored at the North Bank dock, where some of the damaged cargo will be discharged. The officers say that the fire continued for over a week, and for nearly two days they towed lifeboats fully provisioned, expecting that they would have to aban don the vessel. Movements of Vessels.

TORN OUT BETTER Wheat Threshing Returns Ex ceed Expectations. BOTH SPRING AND WINTER Chicago Market Adversely AlTected by the Results Country Accep tances Fall Off Sharp Break in Provisions. CHICAGO. July 28. First threshing of new Spring wheat in Minnesota showed yields of 2.", to 38 bushels an acre, and turned the scales at 0O to 03 bushels. Ex pert opinion that the Winter wheat crop, as a whole, was also threshing out satisfactor ily had considerable Influence as a bearish factor. The Spring crop naturally was not looked to for as flattering results in general as those mentioned from Minnesota, but the outlook was said to be as favorable as could be hoped for, considering the earlier life of the plant. As the day wore on there was a notable falling off In country ac ceptances of bids for cash wheat. Indicat ing a small run from now on. ' The ex planation seemed to be that cash market was selling at 3c to 4c under July delivery today for No. 1 and No. 2 hard and No. 2 red. a most unusual situation.

Co-operation between the Federal and state governments in the good roads movement was advocated today by the speakers at the opening session of the third annual convention of the National Good Roads Congress.

LOUIS MEDICAL CO., I, COR5TER SECOXD AXD YAMHILL STS, TALKS on TEETH By THE REX DENTAL CO., DENTISTS No More Ugly Teeth A certain cross-grained philosopher once said that an uglv face was a mis fortune, but ugly teeth were an insult. - There is no need for any man or woman to go on through life with ugly teeth, and by ugly teeth we mean teeth that are decayed or are missing en tirely. For years dentists have known no other way of supplying missing teeth than by introducing into the mouth a cumbersome partial plate upon which was tacked a row of "false teeth." bearing about as much resem blance to natural teeth as a glass eye does to a natural eye. I'gly is the word that best describes them. They were not even useful. The proof of the Rex Alveolar method is what people say about it, who have had actual experience with it in their mouths. Mr. Nicholas praises it highly. HAD GIVEN ITP HOPE. I had given up hope of getting any thing but a plate owing to the Toss of. many teeth and a most severe case of pyorrhea, but today I have teeth, that are a pleasure to me. Pyorrhea has been cured and I am now enjovlng life. C. J. NICHOLAS, 307 Kohl Bids:.. San Franrlacn About five years ago the dental pro fession was startled when we an nounced that we could restore missing teeth with natural looking, strong, serviceable teeth, and that we would do this work without the aid of any plates or so-called bridge work. We served notice then and there that we were going to do away with ugly teeth and supply in their place a beau tiful set of natural-looking and natural-feeling teeth which would be as serviceable as if they grew in the mouth. It was a startling declaration and for a while we could hardly in duce patients to allow us to try the ex periment. From that small beginning we have in a few short years built up the greatest dental business in the world. If your teeth need attention they should have it without further delay, for once they begin to go they go fast. Our advice would be to call or write today. . REMEMBER. please. that cheap denUstry is the most expensive in the end. Most of our business comes from those who have learned this from sad experience. Dental work should be artistic and beautiful as well as serv iceable and lasting. THE REX DENTAL CO, DENTISTS, 311 to 314 Ablngton Bldg.. 106H 3d St- Terms to reliable people. THAT.
