10 THE SUNDAY OREGOKIAN, POETLAND, SEPTEMBER 14, 1902. GLAD TO GET ASHGRe COLUMBIA'S PASSESGEIIS BROUGHT UP OX THE HASSALO. Smoke Continues to Paralyze Ship- sins In the River Cantata Achard Honored. The passengers of the steamer Colum bia were brought to the city on the Has ealo last night. The steamship Is still .hard and fast a short distance above Tonguo Point. where she ran aground 'during the dense smoke Friday, but will doubtless be floated at high jtido today. Captain Conway, superintendent of O. B. i & N. water lines, spent a busy day yes terday, first trying to locate the steamer "and then making arrangements to get 'the tired paseangers ashore.. He sent (launches and steamers out from Astoria t In the search, and som received word jthat the Columbia, was a short distance above the point and about a mile south of the ship channel. The Hassalo was then dispatched to the scene, and by 1 o'clock she had taken aboard the passen gers, 122 saloon and 40 steerage; also their baggage. The run to Portland was made "without mishap or delay, and at 10 P. M. tho travelers disembarked at Alnsworth dock, glad once more to be on terra flrma, even Jf the atmosphere was 5jo better. Captain Conway will send a number of barges down tbo river this looming, and If the Columbia has not been floated by the tame they reach her. they will bring up her cargo, part of pvhlch consists of perishable fruit xne aense smoKe, wnue mamng it aisa fcreeable for steamboat people, has not caused their boats to lose much time. KFrom all directions, up and down, the paxne story comes of burning trees along the rivers and dense banks of smoke over rthe streams. Captain Crang, of the Bailey fGatzert, says he was compelled to keep (his whistle sounding all the way up from LAstorla yesterday. There was not a groat Weal of difference. In the density of the lemoke, though it was probably worse at Oak Point than elsewhere. rPecp-eea shipping i3 practically para lyzed by the conditions. Vessels can melther go up nor 'down the river, and as put little grain Is coming In, many of the fressels in tho harbor are idle. "When the cloud lilts, a goodly fleet Is expected in prom outside, as people who have come rap from North Beach report that they hcould see threo or four square-riggers beating about offthe mouth of the Colum fbla, waiting for a favorable opportunity ko enter port. ; Among the ships loaded and ready Jo go down is the Routenburn. whlchhas a full Icargo of wheat for Europe. Captain IDalyrlmple has his crew and stores aboard and now Is only waiting for a tow boat. He expects to get away by Tues day. Captain Dalyrlmple likes tho port, and since his arrival here has made many friends. Among those he met were somo cousins living at Mount Scott, whom he had not seen for 15 years. FREIGHTS AXn CHARTERS. Market Contlnueg Wenlc and Ownen Xot Anzlons to Enter the Field. Since the fixing of the Allonby and the Semantha, no tonnage engagements for this port have come to light. The market continues weak at 25 shillings ior big ships, and owners aro not In a hurry to do business at this rate. Freights at San Francisco, according to the Commercial News, are unchanged, the last spot char ter for the United Kingdom being 22s Cd. There Is some demand there for South Af rica and Australia, but at figures not es pecially tempting to owners. Even the bounty-fed French vessels Und nothing at tractive in rates from this port, and are being turned to other and more profitable channels. The monthly report of R. P, Hlthet & Co., of Victoria, for August, Just issued, says: "There hB3- been little change in the position of tho freight market during the month. Tonnage Is plentiful and rates somewhat lower. For the United King dom and usual options, 22s Cd may bo taken as tho current figure, although to wards the end of the month business was transacted at 23s. At Northern ports there is a better demand and higher rates ara offered. Lumber quotations are also lower, but there is very little busi ness offering, and the market has been weak and dull all through the month.."We quote as follows: Grain San Francisco to Cork, f. o., 22s Cd: Portland to Cork, f. o., 2Gs 3d: Tacoma and Seattle to Cork, f. o., 2Cs Sd.

Captain Achard, of the British chip IDlmadale, who has retired from a seafar- iing Ufo and is about to start for London to settle a large estate there, has received a testimonial from the crew of the ves sel which goes to show that a master can be as popular aboard his ship as among his friends ashore. Yesterday morning ho turned over the command of the Dlms dale to Captain McLeod. As tho ex-master was about to go ashore, he was called into tho cabin and Captain SIcLeod, on behalf of the crew, presented him a hand some gold locket, suitably engraved. Cap tain Achard, much surprised, acknowl edged the gift Jn a few appropriate re marks. A6 he took his departure from the ship, the sailors lined up in naval 'fashion and gavo three rouelng cheers, followed by three for the new skipper, Captain McLeod, and then three more for Mrs, McLeod. Tfavigratlon. Dlfllcult la ke Xorth. PORT TOWNSEND. Wash., Sept. 13. The steam tug Tacoma, returning this (morning from p. seeking trip, reports that the prevailing smoko is spreading a heavy mantle along the entire- shore line and extending 40 miles out to aea. Northeast winds prevailing prevent the approach of incoming vessols, but this is fortunate, for strange shipmasters would jeopardize life and craft by attempting to approach the entrance to the straits, which is en tirely obscured. As yet no marjne acci dents have been reported, though pro vailing conditions make navigation diffi cult and dangerous. "Will Send Sealers to Cape Horn. VICTORIA. B. C Sept. 13.

This is better than tho comblno Is offering, and as a consequenco most of tha saw mills are delivering to the railway com pany rather than to tho combine.

For both eexes tho expectation of life In Lon don is greater now than It was 20 years ago, Btajtes the medical officer of the London County Council. that are delivering ties for the combine. However, It may be Interesting to note that the organization of the combine re sulted In the price of. ties being raised to the present rate. Before there was an organization the sawmill men were paid a very small, price for ties, and they de clared they could not make anything out of the business. There la such a demand for railway ties now that all that can be sawed out find ready sale, and the tie makers" are making money out of the business. There were no railway ties hauled from any of tho sawmills In Eastern Multnomah County for the past week until yesterday. Fire started Monday at "nil the mills and around the" farms, and no one had time to haul railway ties. Yesterday the teamsters were at work for the firat time during tha week. s TIES FOR, MONTA VILLA. Proctor &. Beer Contract to Deliver 4000 for City Sabarbau.

Thousands of Handsome Booklets, That Are Works of Art, Given Awayr Photo by Klser Bros. WHITE COLLAR LIJfD BOOTH AT THE POnTLAKD C An NIVAL, SHOWIN G PLACES OF INTEREST ALO.G Til E RIVER. Tho Columbia River & Puget Sound Navigation Company, better known as the 'White Collar Line, has displayed a degree of enterprise last season and thla that of right places the concern In the category of public benefactors. Laet season the company had written and Illustrated a handsome booklet, descriptive of the territory covered by Its stcumers. It was tha most expensive publication, of Its kind, np to that time, produced in the "WeaL This year, how ever, it greatly excelled ltd former effort. The publication It has distributed by the thousands of copies Is not only most entertainingly written, but no su perbly illustrated that it Is craved as a work of art at home, and has been scattered broadcast throughout the country by persona who have sent it to distant friends. The scenic beauties of the Columbia River are magnificently portrayed throughout the pages of both publications. Th company'n booth at the Carnival has. been not only the greatest attrac tion of the show, but a public educator as well. The painting of the Columbia, which farmed tho background, located all points of interest on that wonderful river, so that strangers could place them as well as the old-timer who had navigated the stream for year.? and ycara. Tho "White Collar Line la nothing If not enterprising. It Is a Portland insti tution, dcecrvlng Portland's substantial recognition. Lamar B. Secley, presi dent and genpral rijanager of the company, and Ernest W. Crlchton, the secre tary, are of the atamp of enterprise that builds up communities. REAL ESTATE MR. MELLEN, president of the -Northern Pacific Railroad, recently told you that his corporation would immediately com mence the construction of the Columbia River bridge- opposite University Park, would tunnel the peninsula at University Park, would bridge the Willamette tt the head of Swan Island. This means the expenditure 'of $3,000,000 at and near University Park. It means suburban trains from Vancouver through University Park to the center of the city It means that the boulevard system that centers at University Park will become the popular drive of the city; that the elegant homes of Portland will center there. Our building re striction will keep out the shanties. Our liquor restriction will make it distasteful for the immoral element. It will be the ideal place for families and homes. University Park is inside the city limits of Portland. It has Portland public schools, Portland city water, three systems of wide boulevards, churches of every leading denomi nation, street-cars to any part of the city, arc electric street-lights, stores, in short, every con venience of a great city. Columbia University OPENED its Fall term on Monday, Septem ber 8, with a rush of young men. More than half of the states in the Union are represented in its glasses. It has a faculty second to none in America. Every teacher is a graduate and holds his degrees. They are no bellows stufTed scholars, but men of profound learning, men of travel, men of experience. For example : The language teacher speaks German and French as his mother tongue, Russian, Spanish, Italian, Japanese and six dialects of Chinese, besides English, and he learned these languages where they were spoken at home. The other teachers are as well equipped for their several positions. The Columbia University is the pride of every citizen of Portland who believes in higher education. It will bring thousands and tens of thousands of dol lars annually to our city, and will keep as many thousands from going away. Columbia University is expending vast sums of money at University Park. It is now construct ing what is to be the largest gymnasium in the world. It has completely renovated and refitted the large brick and stone building. Next year an other large building will be erected. Nothing suc ceeds like success. University Park now stands on the rock of ages. No flash in the pan, no col lapse, but on and on and upward. Do you know what the Columbia University means for Univer sity Park? See what colleges have done for sub urbs of Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, SarKFran cisco. Large cities have been built from no other support. South Bend, Indiana, had fewer than 100 population when the Notre Dame School was located there. Now it has 40,000 people. Look at our cheap prices and think of what the near fu ture must bring. Get a home at University Park, where you can give your sons and daughters a finished education while they live at home, where you can send them to the public schools until suf ficiently advanced to enter college, One Thousand Homes THERE is a big demand for houses at Uni versity Park.
