THE -SUXDAX 0EEG02S"IA1S . PORTLAND, AUGUST 16, 1903. RUSH TO THE SOUTH Steamer and Train Loaded With G. A. R. Excursionists. COLUMBIA'S CAPACITY TAXED Two Tliousand Persons Have Gone From Portland ,lo the Encamp xnent I'otter Currlex Record Crowd of Sean on to Coast. When the steamship Columbia sailed for San Francisco from Ainsworth dock at 8 o'clock last night, she had 175 cabin passengers aboard, every berth being sold. It was In the middle of the after noon when the sale of tickets was stopped at the office at Third and Washington and quite a number of people were disap pointed by applying too late ior accom modations. Fully 1500 people were on the dock to see their friends depart and It was an enthusiastic send-off that the travelers received. Among the Columbia's passengers were 50 veterans In charge of Captain H. B. Compson. With the crowd that left overland last night, this practically wound up the rush to the G. A. R. encampment, which opens at San Francisco August 19. Since Wednesday there has been a steady stream of passengers southward and it is estimated that at least 2000 persons have takn advantage of the reduced rates from this city. The Southern Pa cific train that left last night was the longest that has pulled out of the depot here In many a day. Besides the smokers and day coaches, there were two tourist and four standard sleepers and every berth on them was taken. The return movement will begin about I August 24 and will be heavy, as many of 'the delegates from the East that came out over the Central and Southern routes will return by the Northern lines. Most of the passengers will stop over hero for a few days to see the city and they will be entertained by the local Grand Army posts and commercial bodies. FORECAST FOR SEPTEMBER. Wind and Weather to Be Expected In the North Pacific The September pilot chart of the North Pacific Ocean gives the following forecast of wind and weather for the coming montn: North of 45 degrees the prevailing direc tion of the wind will bo northwest. Light southeasterly winds will bj met Immedi ately under the coast, and suthwesterly wlnda will be frequent beyond the merid ian of 130 degrees west To the southward of 45 degrees the prevailing direction will be north-northwest, the winds from this quarter attaining a maximum frequency between 125 and 130 degrees. The strong est winds will be from the north, rarely attaining gale force. Occasional cyclonic storms of no great intensity (.gales of force 10) may be ex pected between the parallels of 10 and 20 degrees north along the route between San Francisco and the line. Tbo Winter area of low barometer (pressure 29.75 Inches) has established it self to the northward of the Aleutian Isl ands, and will increase In depth as the season advances. Around this area the circulation of the winds Is cyclonic or contrary to the motion of the hands of a clock. esterly winds thus prevail on its southern side. Tb& southwest monsoon will continue to blow throughout the China Sea. Before the close of September, however, the northeast monsoon will reacli the northern coast of Formosa and Formosa OhannoL The latter sets In with storm force, and at times without previous warning. Open anchorages should therefore be avoided, Along the western coast of the Philip pine Archipelago during September light southwesterly and westerly breezes will prevail, becoming easterly and northeast erly during October. A steady breeze from any quarter during the entire day is an indication of the existence of a typhoon, the center of the disturbance bearing two to four points to the left of the point toward which the wind is blow lng. For Manila the average cllmat oloIcal conditions during September are Pressure, '.S3 inches; temperature, 80.4 degrees Fahrenheit; rainfall, 14.9 inches. For October they are: Pressure, 29.SS Inches, temperature. 80.4 degrees Fahren heit; ralnfe.ll, 7.4 inches. Temporal y areas of alternately high and low barometer, with attendant anti c clonic and cyclonic circulations, will bo found moving in a general easterly direc tion across the ocean in temperate latl tudes. In advance of the former the weather is dry (large difference between the wet and the dry bulb), the barom eter rises, the thermometer falls, the clouds (cirrus, cirro-cumulus, alto-cumu lus) tend to dissolve, and the general dl- rection of the winds is polar or westerly: Vln adance of the latter the weather is tlamp (small difference between the wet and the dry bulb), the barometer falls. the thermometer rises, the clouds (cirro stratus, alto-stratus, nimbus) tend to gather, and the general direction of the winds is equatorial or easterly. The east ward passage of an anti-cyclone is marked by light winds and fair weather; of a cyclone, by gales, rain and foul weather. During September the frequency of ty jhoons is at its maximum, and four or five, or even six, of these storms may be expected. For October the frequoncy Is considerably less. One of the earliest signs of the approach of a typhoon Is the failure, of the barometer to respond to the diurnal oscillation. LUMBER FREIGHT WEAK. Shipowners' Association Trying Hold Thenx Up. to The Shipowners' Association of San Francisco has issued n circular letter upon the subject, of lumber freights, ac cuslng shippers of trying to depress the market and urging owners to withdraw their vessels until better rates can be obtained. The circular follows: "We arc informed that shippers of lumber to foreign ports have sold car goes on a freight basis, of 2Ss to Sydney, and 60s buyer's option to all African ports, to load at either the Columbia River or Puget Sound loading places, an tlcipatlng still lower freights, and they are trying to depress freights by crying an oversupply of foreign tonnage, to meet their selling rate of these cargoes. Most cf these cargoes require bow-port ves sels, and these foreign ships are not suitable for the business. We strongly recemmend our members to withdraw telr tonnage from the market until rates can be obtained equal to about the rates quoted In this circular. If they consider even these sufficient to pay .expenses. Foreign ships cannot move at lower than the present rates. Why then sacrifice our ships to satisfy the eager desires of sell ers cf lumber to make sales at the ship's expense? " According to the San Francisco Com mercial News, lumber freights to Aus tralia are weaker. A rate of 30s has been made to Port Plrle, one of the cheapest rates on record. Rates to the West Coast are also weak. POTTER'S GREAT CROWD. Sldewheeler Carries S25 Passengers to Xorth Bench. The movement of Portlanders to the beaches is increasing as the close of the Summer season draw3 nearer. Yes- terday morning the O. R- & 2. steamer T. J. Potter carried down the unprece--dented number of S3 passengers. Here tofore on Saturdays 300 passengers have been considered a big load. The steamer left at 11:40 yesterday morning and. had her departure been fixed for afternoon, It Is certain that still more would have tried to secure passage on her. The coming week will see the biggest rush of pleasure-seekers to the Coast, unless there Is a marked change In the weather. "What most people consider the best time of year at the seaside opens around the middle of August and old time beachers always delay their depart ure until then. On the other hand many people who went down early have had their fill of salt air and are ready to come home. Consequently the steamboat com pany is making preparations to handle a land office business. The Potter's sail ing dates from Portland this week are: Tuesday. 9:10 A. M.; Wednesday. 10:30 A. M.; Thursday. 11: j. A. M.; Friday. 1 P. M.: Saturday. 1:CP. M. Returning, the steamer will leave Ilwaco at 7:30 tonight, at P. M. on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and at S:30 P. M. on Friday. SALVIXG THE BERWICK. Captain Herri man. Accomplishes the Taslc Under Difficulties. San Francisco shipping papers warmly praise the skill, patience and grit of Cap tain A. H. Herrlman In successfully salv ing the schooner Berwick, which ran ashore near Rogue River last June. On July 1 he purchased the wreck and two days after his arrival, the men dis liking their Job deserted him. and he was. obliged to lose valuable time, waiting for a fresh transr which was sent up to him from San Francisco. Within a week of commencing opsratlons, however, the ves sel was jacked up, sliding ways built under her, anchors put out and everything ready lor launching, when exceptionally rough seas and high tides swept the ways from under the vessel, the hydraulic pumps failed at a critical moment, and the Berwick was In a worse position than be fore. Fortunately the hull was not Injured. and by advice of Captain Herrlman! who had faith he could save her, uie under writers authorized a second effort to be made. This second attempt was thorough ly successful, and she was launched, with Captain Llndbrldge and a full crew on board. She sailed for San Francisco and arrived there safely on August 2. Captain Herrlman remained behind to settle bills and wind up the matter, and several days after the Berwick sailed, took passage In the gasoline schooner Copper Queen, that was wrecked on Point Reyes, and he narrowly escaped drowning. He finally got safely ashore and completed his journey overland, arriving at San Francisco none the worse for his adven ture. EXCITING RACE PROMISED. Flyer and Xew Steamer Telegraph, to Compete on the Sound, It Is given out quietly that a steamer race which promises to he most exciting will take place within a week, says the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Tho vessels en tered are the well-known steamer Flyer and tho new steamer Telegraph, owned and operated by the Seattle, Everett & Tacoma Navigation Company. The course will He between Seattle and Tacoma, tho Telegraph invading tho enemy's waters to wrest honors from the Flyer, which has long been known as the greyhound of the Puget Sound fleet. A few' days ago the Telegraph, with Captain Gil Parker, at her wheel, started out from the West Seattle coal bunkers, and after the Flyer, which had about 90 seconds the start of her from the buoy off Duwamlsh Head. At the end of six miles the Telegraph had come up along side the Flyer, though the officers of tho latter boat disclaimed any effort to run away from the new craft, notwithstanding the contention that, it was a real race. As soon as the Telegraph was alongside the Flyer, the Telegraph rounded, re turned to Seattle and tied at the Gaffney dock. WILL SUBSIDIZE SHIPS. Japan Intend to Follow French Marine Bounty Plan. While the shippers of tho Pacific Coast have been reaping the benefits of low er freights because of the subsidy of fered by tho French government to sail lng vessels, and shipowners have aired their objections to this sort of opposition. it looks as If there Is something of the same character to be feared from Japan, which is reported to have started the nu cleus for a gigantic fleet of merchant craft, to upbuild the marine of that coun try, and there is every reason to believe a subsidy bill will be passed at the com lng session of the Japanese Parliament. The Japanese are convinced they are the tall-enders "upon the list in the way of merchant marine. The government has taken hold of tho movement for Im provement. The present Idea Is to con struct ships of the American type, but the British method of manning crews Is to bo followed. The man of the Japanese marine will then be naval reserves, and will be available In Japan's Increased navy. In the event of hostilities. As to a subsidy measure, it Is said to have been practically decided upon. DERELICT CUT IX TWO. Steamer Raphael .Passes Between Parts of Vessel's Unit Captain Davis, of the British steamer Raphael, from Bordeaux, which recently arrived from New York, reports that In latitude 40.25, longitude 73.22 a short dls tance to the eastward from Nantucket South Shoals Lightship tho Raphael passed between two pieces of a vessel's hulL It appeared as if It had very recently been cut In .two. The hull of the vessel was painted green, andthere was nothing from which the vessel's Identity could be learned. It Is thought that the wreckage Is that of a two-masted schooner which was re ported to the United States Hydrographlc Office for the first time as having been sighted on June 27. The derelict has slnco been passed over a dozen times and re ported to the Hydrographlc Office. When last seen, by the American liner, St. Paul an July Is, it was In latitude 40.37, long! tude 71.02. Since that time It Is probable that a passing steamer has collided with It and cut it In two. GREAT STEAMER AVAR IX SIGHT. White Star Gets Control of Mcdlter. rancan Service From Boston. NEW YORK.
