The steamer Fitzclarence, which was to have sailed from Portland tomorrow, but was delayed in arriving- owing to a nre in her sulphur cargo at San r ran Cisco, is now to arrive about Octo ber 15 and will unload 1000 tons of sul phur, presumably by October 18, when she will be taken over by Waterhouse. The steamer Ockley is also due from San Francisco, October 15. as her cargo to that port is to be discharged by Thursday. She will get away ahead of the Fitzclarence, SAILOR HVRT OX THE BEAR Vessel Delayed Sailing South to Com plete Crew.

Mayor Rushlight will proceed with I negotiations for the use by the'clty of I the O.-W. R. & N. bridge upper deck on the basis of 5 per cent on the cost! of that deck, $821,124. This course was approved by the ways and means I committee of the City Council 3'ester- day afternoon in the Mayor's office, Ralph Modjeski, consulting engineer for the city, being present. A balance, figured by the Harriman officials as the cost for the east and west approaches, was not believed by the Mayor and members of the commit tee present to be proper for the city to pay Interest upon and the Mayor will therefore endeavor to secure the sig nature to the contract by the railroad officials on the strict basis of the cost I of the upper deck proper.

That proposal did not meet with the approval of some Councilmen, so the engineers were em ployed, with the result announced. "I consider this 5 per cent basis good one," said Mayor Rushlight, ' It certainly is better than building bridge by the city, we now have no initial cost, no up-keep, no mainten ance and no redemption of bonds after the life of the bridge Is spent." The figures showing the cost of the bridge, as submitted by Mr. Modjeski, are, in part, as follows: Total Coat $1,704,000. The total cost of the bridge is appro! mately 1. 704.000.

In order to promote the work of for est fire protection in Oregron, the State I Board of Korestry, at a meeting yester day, decided to prepare a map of the carry- state showing the location of the van approaches and the cost of the highway fighting fires to better advantage, the board resolved to set aside JoOOO from the special Government allotment to meet the expenses of this work. The special map designating the loca tion of the different classes of timber land which it is proposed to issue will show the following information: Location of land bearing1 merchantable timber, whether old or second growth. Location of land covered with brush. Location of cut-over land bearing mer chantable second growth. Location of all other cut-over land. Location of old burns bearing unmer chantable second growth. Location of burned areas not included un der class G- Locatlon of land used primarily for agri cultural and grazing purposes.

Reports received here indicate that the leak is in the stern. The cabin was flooded and the engineer stood in water to his waist. The tug Oneonta stood by while the disabled craft worked back to the river. It was feared for a time the vessel would go on her beam ends. All the pumps were manned. . The vessel left Rainier for San Fran cisco Monday night In command of Captain Nelson, and carried a lumber cargo measuring 700,000 feet. She put to sea about 10 o'clock yesterday morn ing, and soon after 3 o'clock was re ported steaming back, apparently leak- ng. captain kelson communicated with the owners here, and was in structed to proceed to Rainier and dis charge. The steamer will then proceed here to be drydocked. Unless the injury Is of more consequence than indicated last, night, the vessel will be on ner way again in four or five days. The Rochelle was formerly known as the Minnie E. Kelton, and early in May, 190S, she got into trouble off the coast and was towed into the river May 5, 1908, by the steamer Washington, being waterlogged. She was disposed of as a barge and used for a time transporting rock, and early this year was sold to E. H. Dodge and others, who also secured the engine used in the former dredge Ladd and Installed that in the vessel. The work of rebuilding her was carried on at Supple's yards, and the final touches were completed last week. WILLESDEJf HAS DEEP DRAFT I ' Strathlyon. Returning for Wheat Un der Houser's Charter. One of the deepest draft ships of the season to get away for the European grain market will be the British steamer Willesden, as she was drawing 26 feet forward and 27.3 feet aft at noon yesterday. The vessel will leave down today in charge of Pilot Archie Pease, who last week made special soundings at a few points on the Co lumbia where it was thought the pres ent low water might have brought few lumps too close to the surface. One of the early arrivals looked for in the grain fleet is the British steame Strathlyon, which '-has reached San Francisco and will proceed here to load wheat under engagement to M. H. Houser. The Strathlyon is well known here by reason of having operated with the Portland & Asiatic ships following the wreck of the fsorweglan steamer Sella, which was struck by the steamer Beaver off the California Coast an sank immediately. She was also under the Waterhouse flag for a short period. If she gets here during the next few days there will be three of the Strath carriers assembled, as the Strathnllan and Strathness are in the harbor for wheat i The Poulsen left yesterday afternoon for Oak Point and Westport to load, and the steamer Willamette for Taco ma via St. Helens. The steamers Falcon and Shasta will leave today for St. Helens. In tow of the steamer Cascades dredge owned by the Peninsula Indus trial Company was towed from Oregon Slough to Cape Horn, on the Middle Columbia, yesterday, as shoal water at the camp of the Cape Horn Logging Company has bothered river boats tow ing logs. The dredge Beaver, owned by the North Pacific Lumber Company, will be towed Into the Columbia today to dig at the slips of the Vancouver ferry. "From the Orient come advices that the British steamer Dacre Castle was lost during a typhoon September 16 at Keelung Harbor. She is said to have attempted to leave the harbor, but was driven back and after seeking a supposedly sheltered position was caught by the wind and brought up on the beach. The vessel was loaded with copper and other heavy cargo and broke in two the next day. She was on the way from Yokohama to the United Kingdom. OXEOXTA'S WORK IS HURRIED J. R.

Present Board Doesn't and Stmr Sever Know Details of "Graft Proof Plan for Keep Ins City'. 12,000,000 Office Accounts But It Cost 91000. Word reached the Portland headquar ters of Charles R. McCormick & Co. of the safe arrival at San Francisco yes terday ot the steamer Yosemite, which plies from here, but on the last voyage loaded lumber at Grays Harbor and in crossing that bar struck, losing her rudder. She was headed for San Fran cisco with a Jury rig and later was taken in tow by the steamer Bee. The Klamath also happened along and passed a line to the Yosemite, while the Beaver took her passengers off and landed them In San Francisco Monday morning. j Orders have been issued for the Yosemite to discharge her lumber cargo at once and proceed to a drydock for repairs. Afterward she will reload and continue to San Pedro. The steamer Willamette, of that fleet, which dis charged general cargo here from the Bay City, sailed yesterday for Puget Sound to load lumber. u SOLVED mystery what kind of a NOVEMBER LACKS STEAMERS Waterhouse May Engage Tonnage to Carry Oriental Staff. It was made known yesterday that Waterhouse & Co. has renewed efforts to obtain tonnage for Oriental loading in November. So far no steamer has been announced to care for the busi ness during the coming month, and some exporters say that a tardy charter of a vessel will do them little good, as their flour and wheat orders are usually booked so far In advance that they are offices of Portland's $12,000,000 water plant? Members of the Water Board don't know; they admitted it yesterday, when asked by the Whitfield expert agency, "now co you want us to re port on the system?" "How do you propose to report. In writing or verbally?" asked T. B. Wil cox, acting chairman, with keen sar casm. "We don't know a thing about It." "Well, we want to know whether you gentlemen wish to be bothered with details," suggested the represen tative. "I know one member that don't," re plied Mr. Wilcox. "Make It two," sighed W. B. Mackay. "I guess about all we want to know is that the system works," suggested J. C. Ainsworth. "There is Just one more item we would like to ask about our bill for services." the representative then said. And the Board ordered a $1000 war rant drawn. Mr. Wilcox said, regarding the sys tem to be Installed that he wants the Mayor to be satisfied with the book keeping, "not only the present Mayor, but his successors." Mayor Rushlight ordered an investigation, which result ed in a report by experts that It would be possible for many thousands of dol lars to be stolen annually In the head offices of the plant. Then the Board ordered a modern system installed. Port Would Have Powerful Tug Back on Bar Soon. Work was begun yesterday on clean ing the hull of the Port of Portland tug Oneonta on the St. Johns drydock, and it Is hoped to get her into the water again tomorrow. Efforts are being made to rush the overhauling of the vessel, as her help is required at the mouth of the river, and as soon as she is reported in condition to proceed to Astoria the sailing order will be given. Captain J. W. Shaver, of the Port of Portland Commission, with M. Tal bot, general manager, made the run yesterday to the drydock In the launch Marie, and they spent most of the time inspecting the tug on deck and below, as her hull was found in fair shape. As time is limited the exterior will not be sand blasted until next Summer. The crew is doing much of the over hauling, though machinists are engaged in the engine-room going over the parts requiring attention. At the next ses sion of the Commission a full report covering tne oneonta will bo filed. POTTER NOT LARGE EXOIGH So Many Want to See Launching That Second Steamer Is Xeeded. So many invitations having been Is sued -and the number of acceptances such that it is doubted if the steamer T. J. Potter can accommodate all who will leave at 12:30 o'clock Saturday- afternoon to witness the launching of the new steamer Multnomah, at the yards of the St. Helens Shipbuilding Company, that it has been decided to charter a second steamer, probably one of the O.-W. R. & N. fleet if it can be spared. The Potter can carry about 700 per sons on a daylight license, but as- there is to be a full brass band on board the number of guests must be cut down accordingly, yet the Invitation list has grown until it is regarded certain that two vessels will make the Journey. Offi clals of various municipal and com mercial bodies have busied themselves to add interest to the event and prob ably one of the most representative crowds ever assembled on a river vessel here will invade the St. Helens district. Marine Notes. Measurements made by Custom- House officers of the new steamer Multnomah, being built at St. Helens, show her length to be 205.5 feet. 40.5 feet beam and 13.8 feet depth of hold. When her machinery has been installed at San Francisco measurements will be completed. Aboard the British steamer Willesden. which is to sail today. Is 4010 tons of wheat and 3:163 tons of barley. The Hera started loading yesterday at Irving dock and the Strathnllan at Montgomery No. 2, while the Kina will begin today at Oceanic and the Strath ness tomorrow. Last of the lumber for the steamer Ikalls, loading at St. Helena for Sydney. Is to go aboard today and she will leave for sea. The British steamer Inverlc has arrived at San Franclsc from Newcastle with coal and is under charter to J. J, Moore & Co. to load here or on Puget Sound with lumber for Sydney. Three lumber cargoes were cleared yesterday for the San Francisco, the steamer Tamalpais with 650.000 feet.

PORTLAND TO PORTLAND Across-the-Contlnent Tourists Have Strenuous Work Enough to Last Lifetime Praise Is Given Oregon Roads. Motoring from Portland, Or., to Port' land. Me, all at once combines too many hair-raising episodes, nights on the desert without water, wheel-wide mountain roads, nervous shocks and too much strenuous work for one life time. This opinion Is entertained by W. C. Bristol, who, with Ed Jorgenson, returned to Portland yesterday after an absence of nearly two months. Dur ing that time, he avows he rode over every conceivable sort of road, put his life in peril half a dozen tiroes, viewed the magic wonders of America's scenery and found time even to utter words of praise for Oregon's country roads. Leaving here August 20, Mr. Bristol and Mn, Jorgenson started for Buffalo, N. Y., by way of Portland, Me. On the trip they went through Eugene, Bend, Prinevlllc, Burns, Vale, Caldwell, Nam pa, American Falls, Pocatello, Pelier, Evanston, Granger, Green River, Raw lings, Cheyenne, Denver, Holyoke, Oma ha, Lincoln, Davenport, Chicago, South Bend, Toledo, Detroit, Cleveland, El mira, Erie, Scranton, New Brunswick, New York, Stanford, Boston, Portland, Pittsfield, Albany, Utlca, Syracuse, Au burn and Buffalo. Mr. Bristol's most vivid recollection of the entire trip was that part which took them through the Idaho and Utah desert country and the mountainous regions of Wyoming. "Talk about Oregon's rotten roads, why, they can't begin to compare with some of the trails you have to hit driv ing across the continent," said Mr. Bris tol. "There were times when we count ed our progress In feet Instead of miles. One morning we started out at S o'clock and gave up In disgust at 8 that night. During that time we had succeeded In sending the car ahead only 20 miles." Climbing up a steep mountain of lava teps about 58 miles from American Falls, the crank case of their machine was broken when they dropped over the summit. Nearly out of water, and with only a bit of bacon and bread in their provision compartment, they were forced to pass the night there and make the .68-mlle drive with the makeshift repair. After passing through Nebraska, the Oregon motorists had clear sailing. A veritable continuous cloudburst ham pered progress in the Middle West and made the going decidedly slow. From Chicago on to New York it was just like riding over pavement, said Mr. Bristol. The roads of the New England tates were the best of the entire trip. Arriving at Buffalo, the car was left at the factory to be overhauled, and the motorists sought Pullman comforts in rushing back home. JUDGE WOLVERTON UPHELD Oscar Vanderbllt Loses Second Lap in Frtilt Land Contract Fight. News was received in Portland yes terday that the United, States Circuit Court of Appeals, sitting at San Fran cisco, had affirmed the findings of ! ecreral Judge olverton, of Portland, in the case of Oscar Vanderbllt, of Hood River, against Mlnette Bishop and J. C. Thullen, her father, of Cleve land, Ohio. Judge Wolverton's decis ion was that because of fraudulent misrepresentation a contract which the defendants entered into in 1910 to purchase 30 acres of Hood River or chard land from Vanderbllt for .J43.000 be set aside and Vanderbllt be required to repay with interest J5000 which had been given him on account. Mrs. Bishop and her father were In possession of the property only a few months ago, on the advice of Frederick V. Holman, their attorney, tney noti fied Vanderbllt that the property had been grossly misrepresented to them and thejr would not carry the contract through. They had abligated them selves to pay $3000 additional about this time and on their failure to do so Vanderbllt started suit in the Cir cuit Court at Hood River, demanding a strict foreclosure. The balance of the purchase price, $33,000 was to have been carried as a mortgage on the orchard. The defendants secured a removal of the case to the Federal Court here, they being residents of Ohio, and set up a cross bill in which they demanded cancellation of the contract on the ground of fraud. Holman & Hampson appeared for them. Vanderbllt was represented by attorneys John Hall and Jesse Stearnes, of Portland, and attor -yes: inai ttbiu y For Prickly Heat, Pimples, Blotches .Blackheads, Eczema aad DandmSi ZmLO Is a Hew Wander.

FARMING AID TO BE ASKED Experiment Stations Desired In Cen tral Oregon Exhibits to Bo Made. Officers of the Central Oregon De velopment League will make an effort at the next session of the Legislature to secure appropriations for the estab lishment of demonstration and experi ment farms in Crook, Lake and Klam ath counties. Such a farm already Is In operation n Malheur County, and its success has satisfied officers of the league that other like institutions are needed in the state. J. E. Sawhill, secretary of the organization, advises friends In Portland that the farmers there are taking a great Interest In the demon stration work, and that their attend ance at the farm has been of actual pecuniary value to them. The several counties comprising the league also are active now In assem bling sample products to be sent to the Eastern land shows this Fall. They will be well represented, also, at the forthcoming land products show in Portland. Many Central Oregon farm ers will attend the local show and make personal exhibits. Astoria to Vote on Saloons.
