Probably Taken From Klose by Passing Vessel, BOATS WATCH FOR DERELICT German Ship Henriette Chartered to Load for Niuchwang Flour De mand Subsides Another At tempt to Float Elder. It Is believed that the captain and crew of the schooner C A. Klose, vhlch was abandoned oft Hcccta Head, were taken on! by a parsing vessel and are now on their way to some Coast port. This Is the only theory bv which local mariners can account for their desertion of the vessel- while stf e still remained afloat, as the men would hardly strike out for land In such bois terous weather with the schooner SO miles off shore. It is probable that the derelict will be picked up soon by one of the coasters In the vicinity, which will stana r. show of finding her sooner than the tug' which left San Francisco Friday night to make a search. The Nome City and the Northland, from this city, and the Redondo and Cascade, coming north, may encounter the schooner. Orders have also been sent to the Alliance, which has been burbound at Coos Bay, to keep a sharp lookout for the Klose on her way to Portland. Captain Wagner, the master of the schooner, has harl much experience on the Coast, but this is his first vbyage in this vessel. The Kloso also carried two mates, a cook and five sailors. The men all belonged In San Francisco. TWO SEE STRANGE SCHOONER Wallula's Master and Captain Stuart Believe the Klose Is Near By. ASTORIA, Or., March 25. (Special.) The bar tug "Wallula, While outside this afternoon, sighted two four-masted schooners In the offing and started after one of them, but the schooner put off shore again. The tug then returned and picked up the oil .barge Santa Paula. As she was crossing in with the barge about i- o'clock this afternoon she sighted a three-masted schooner, v.ith only a smalt Jib set, heading north about four miles south of the lightship. While nothing definite is known, this vessel Is thought to be the derelict schooner C. A. Klose, and the tug will leave tomorrow morning to search for her. Captain Stuart, of the Cape Disappoint ment life-saving crew, sighted a three- masted schooner that had every appear ance of having been abandoned drifting about three miles, west of the whistltng buoy at 6:30 this evening. The schooner had a small jib set and the rest of her Bails were In shreds. There was no sign of life on board. As the line to North Head Is down. Captain Stuart came to Astoria in a small boat to notify the tugs. There is little question but that the ves Bel is the derelict schooner Klose. The terrific gale that has been raging off the coast during the past week reach ed Its height last night. Today the wind moderated considerably, and as the glass la rising steadily this evening, the indi cations are favorable for better weather tomorrow. The bar, however, continues very rough, but the steam schooner Kil burn crossed out this afternoon, and the steamer "Whlttier. with the oil barge Santa Paula, crossed in. The Whlttier would not have come -in had not the tug Wallula gone outside and taken the Santa Paula In tow and brought her across the bar, the Whlttier following close behind. The Whlttier has been oft the mouth of the river since last Sunday afternoon, and Captain Dickson says the weather was the most severe he ever experienced. His greatest fear was that he would lose his barge but the line held, and both vessels arrived uninjured. He had, however, de termined to head for Cape Flattery if he was unable to cross today. TAKES LUMBER TO NIUCHWANG Henriette Chartered by North Pacific Company With Owners Option. The German ship Henriette, now at Astoria, has been chartered by the North Pacific Lumber Company at a lump sum to take a cargo of lumber to Niuchwang. The owners have the op tion of substituting the German ship Christol, which is in port here. The Henriette reached the river March 19 With a general cargo from Antwerp for Balfour. Guthrie & Co. She Is discharg ing 1000 tons of cement at Astoria, which the Government will use on the fortifications around the mouth of the river. This engagement will keep the load ing berth of the North Pacific fconipany occupied for some time to come. The Holt Hill, which is taking cargo for the West Coast, will have all her lumber aboard tho mlddlo of this week, and her place will be taken by the Lonsdale, which is being made reaqy at'Banfleld's dock. The Dumfriesshire is also to load at the North Pacific mill and will be ready for cargo in a few days. The Nomia, which Is lying at the Vic toria dolphins, completed her cargo last evening and will leave down the river Tuesday morning, bound for China. FLOUR BUSINESS DROPS OFF No Need at Present for an Extra Steamer in April. The flurry in the flour market that excited exporters and shipping men has subsided, for tho present at least. The Japanese, after placing many orders here for early .shipment, have with drawn from the market, so far as Ore gon flour is concerned. They are again placing orders for lowgrade Minnesota flour, with which to feed the Russian prisoners, but these shipments will be made by the Northern nines. As no more engagements are being made with the Portland & Asiatic line. that company Is taking no further steps to provide additional facilities. How ever, the space of the steamers Arabia and Aragonla Is completely filled, and should Oriental orders come in again, some provision would have to be made, either by the steamship company or th exporters. The Aragonia will not sail for four weeks yet, and In that time much business may be worked up. Or ders for an additional "5000 tons tf flour, if received, would mean the lay ing on of an additional steamer by the regular line or the chartering of a tramp vessel by the shippers. Impressed by the Japanese New Steamer Tengu Maru Will Be Converted into Auxiliary Cruiser. VICTORIA. B. C. March" 25. The steamship Kanagawa Maru, which ar rived this morning from Yokohama, brought news that the Tengu Maru. a new 7300-ton vessel just completed for the Yokohama-Seattle route, has been Impressed by the government an"a will be converted Into an auxiliary cruiser, as were the three liners on the San Francisco route. The Kanagawa brought the crew of the" British. hip Sylvlaoa," seized :bx the ' Nippon Maru In th Tsushima Straits when bound to Vladivostok with 7000 tons of Cardiff coal. Redondo Delayed at Eureka. The steamer -Redondo. which left San Francisco Thursday night with general cargo and 50 passengers for Portland and EureKa, has not yet been "reported as sailing from the latter port and was doubtless delayed there by the storm. She is expected here Monday morning and will discnarge at Greenwich dock, sailing from there "Wednesday evening. The steamer Cascade is due here Mon day night with freight and passengers from San Francisco. Another Attempt to Float Elder. " Another attempt will bo made today to pump out the steamer Geo. "W. Elder, lying on the rocka near Goble. The third bulkhead has been completed and a .largo quantity of cement used, in mak ing the compartments-watertight. River men say that if this effort fails the Job might as weU be given up. Many of them are confident that the steamer will never be raised and say money would be saved in dismantling her at once. On the other hand. Captain Macfarlane, who Is superintending the salvage work for the Insurance companies, says the chances are rather In favor of sav ing the snip and he Is not disposed to give up until every effort possible ha3 "been made. Wreckage on Vancouver Island. TACOMA "Wash... March 20. A spe cial to the News from Victoria, B. C says: Three pieces of a schooners deck have just been washed ashore jthree miles east of Carmanah. In the same lo cality were found oak beams and knees. The deck is constructed of fir and the tonnage Is given as 69 tons. On the hatch combing are a number of small rings as if for lashing canoes. On a piece of the wreckage Is the number "72,753,1' and on a life buoy picked up among' the. flotsam are letters " sm, Portland." The letters are the last of the' name, which is as yet unknown. Emiiie Returns to Portland. The well-known German bark Emiiie has been chartered by Balfour, Guthrie & Co. to load on the Tyne "for Portland direct. She wJH bring 1200 tons of pig Iron, S00 tons of lire brick and a large quantity of general cargo. The bark "will begin loading Jn about a week. Marine Notes. The cannery ship Berlin has begun loading coal, at the bunkers. The China liner Arabia has shifted, to Albma dock, where she will be worked today. Tho brig Lurline left yesterday bound for San Francisco with 350,000 feet of lumber. The Portland & Asiatic steamer Nico medla arrived at Yokohama March 20 from this city. The Aragonla sailed from Yokohama for Portland March 21 and Is due here April 10. The transport Buford has nearly all of her lumber aboard and will be at Greenwich dock tomorrow preparing for the Journey to Manila. The steamer Charles R. Spencer will begin bringing the soldiers baggage over from Van couver Tuesday morning. The dellverymaa of a local hard ware firm tried to place 1000 cartridges aboard the transport Buford from a small beat, and, not being familiar witlt such craft, stood on the gunwale while passing up the ammunition. The result was tnat the boat careened over and the entire lot of cartridges went to the bottom. The order will be filled when the transport gets alongside a dock. Domestic and Foreign Ports.

"Tobe" Lytle Repeatedly Tries to Shoot Nye Scott in Dispute. PHILOMATH. Or.. March 25. (Special.) At the home of Mrs. Lytle last night. as a result of an altercation between "Tobe" Lytle and Noye Scott. Lytle fired a shot from a revolver at Scott, which but for the latter's dexterity and pres ence of mind in deflecting the aim of the jsveapon. would doubtless have taken deadly effect. The assailant, having been disarmed by Scott, secured another revolver and was loading the gun. evidently to repeat his death-dealing assault, but Scott, after a desperate encounter, in which he received an ugly scalp wound, wrenched the weapon from bis frenzied adversary. The trouble was the result of Scott's having disposed of a dog to which Lytle had a claim. Lytle has left town, and Is" said to be with friends In Lincoln County. The matter has been referred to the Deputy Prosecuting Attorney of Ben. J .ton County, and Lytle may be arrested. Sullivan "Assault" Dismissed. . ASTORIA, Or., March 23.-(SpecIal.- MUST MAKE CHOICE SOON Onfy Six Days More In Which to Join a Co-operative Club. Have You Seriously Consid ered the Matter? Consider the difference between -a home whore there is a piano and the children are growing up enjoying all the pleasures and refinements which music otters, and one in which there is none and every member 'of the family is feeling the lack of It and perhaps secxln'g the pleasure elsewhere.

And the weekly payments are only 51.23. It is really a reproach to a man under such favorable buying conditions as we are now offering:, who does not provide a piano ror his lamiiy. Although the pianos in Club "A" above referred to are most excellent in both tone and wearing qualities, buyers do not need to" stop at these. Our very finest makes, in rarest art stylos, .are included In this sale the splendid Chlck erlng, -of Boston; the famous artists' fa vorite, the Weber, of New York, and the wonderfully popular Kimball, of Chi cago are in the co-operative proposition.

NOW SHE COURTS ' DEATH Coroner's Jury Finds That Shook Shot Cooper and Howse, 5ut Wife's Testimony Is of Little Value. - DRAIN, Or., March 23. (Special.) The jury called together by Justice Dimmlck, of Elkton, yesterday afternoon to" Inves tigate the double murder and suicide that occurred at the Cooper & Haney sawmill, ten miles west of here, yesterday fore noon, did not reach a verdict until late this afternoon. The findings seem to agree with tho first account of the tragic affair that Herman Shook first killed A. B. Cooper and Paul Howse and then him self. Cooper's wife was the only eyewitness who lives to tell the tale, and she has been in such a hysterical condition since the tragic event that her testimony al most counts-for nothing. In fact, she has had to be specially guarded to prevent her from Injuring herself or some one else. The exact theory of the Jury as to the killing of Cooper and Howre by Shook is not obtainable here, as the jury was pro cured at Elkton. Rumors have been afloat since the 'a'ffair took place that Mrs. Cooper was suspected of complicity In the killing, but the finding of te jury docs not seem to confirm such rumors. Tho body of Shook-was brought here this evening, and will be shipped to Oak land, In this county, for burial. The father of the young man, J. A. Shook, of Oakland, came here today to meet the re mains of his son and convey them to his homo for buriaL The sad affair Is generally believed to be the outcome of Infidelity of Cooper's wife. The remains of Cooper and Howse will be buried tomorrow at Elkton. EXTEND DITCH INTO DESERT Jackson County Lands May Then Se Irrigated From Butte Creek. BEDFORD. Or..

The company has expended at least JKO.000 In bringing water from Little Butte Creek, to what Is known as "the desert," a distance of some 30 miles. They have never asked for a bonus and have principally bought tho right of way for the ditch from the settlers through whose lands they have passed. At a meeting held yesterday afternoon ifwas decided by the company that if the farmers whose lands would be covered by the ditch would guarantee them 5C00 ac5CSo land for Irrigation they would extend the ditch from its present termi nus, crossing Bear Creek about one mile north of Medford. which ditch would cover nearly all the land lying between her and Rogue River. a,dlstancc of about nine miles.

Xearly everybody knows that charcoal is the safest and most cedent disinfect ant and purljr In nature, but few realize Its value when taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose. Charcoal Is a remedy that the more you take of it the butter; it Is not a drug ut all, but simply ub&orbs the gases and Impurities aaways preaent in tho stomach and Intestines acu carries tnem out of the system.
