Small Dot. of Land Near Hawaiian
Island Was Occupied by Captain
Reynolds of U. 8. 8. Lackawanna
Nearly Forty Years Ago.
The department of commerce and
labor has notified the local collector of
custom that the British steamer,
Restorer, which went to the assistance
Of the Pacific Mall liner Mongolia,
when she stranded on Midway Island s
few days ago. had perfect right to do
so on the ground that the territory,
while under the American flag, la not
yet governed by American law's. Ac
cording to the letter from the secretary
of the department, Midway Island is In
the same category as the Island of
Quam. for which no laws have yet been
enacted eo as to govern trade relations
between foreign powers.
The letter adds, however, that It le
supposed that before long congress will
find time to legislate for the Island as
It has done for Alaska, Porto Rico end
Hawaii. Until this be done the general
lews of the United States are not ap
plicable. Midway Island was occupied
by Captain William Reynolde of the
U. 8. 8. Lackawanna on July 28, 18(7,
and has since been regarded es Ameri
can territory.
The Mongolia struck Midway lslaad
while bound for Honolulu on her way
from the orient to San Francisco, and in
calling for assistance, the British oable

REFUSE BUSINESS

Lumber droghers are wanted end any

And profitable business by applying to
any one of the many lumber .exporting
agents in the eity.sj They are all looking
for .carriers because Sap Francisco
wants lumber and the cheapest way to
handle It Is by the water route. Borne
shipowners seem Indifferent whether
they charter their veesele or not, ac
cording to reports along the waterfront.
A rumor this morning had It that one
lumber shipper offered the ownere of
the old bark St. Nicholas 87.60 a thou
sand for San Francisco, which is fully
aa much as Is being paid the steam
schooners plying In tie trade. The
offer was thrown down and the old bark
taken to Clifton to tie up for the winter.

an offer the other day for the ship Ber
lin, which also returned from the north
ern esmaerlea about 10 day' ago, and
they announced that they would send
the veeeel down to Gable for winter
quarters.
It Is a long time elnce shipowners re
fused eueh offers aa these now being
made end lumber shippers eay they are
at a lose to understand the reason there-
fore except that they already have more .
money than they know what to do with.
A few weeks ago lumber dealers
looked to the salmon fleet for relief,
but they are disappointed now that their
owners seem disinclined to let the vee
sele go for outside buelness. That all
of the salmon shipowners are not eo
strongly opposed to making a little
money on the side Is indicated, however,
by the faet that the ehtpe James Drum
mond, Big Bonanza. Columbia and a
few others are already in the harness
hauling lumber along the roast.
NO SENSE IN RATE WAR

Captain B. W. Spencer says there are
no better prospects for a rate war bar

Columbia river when the new eteamer
J. N. Teal le ready for operation than at

here by the Open River Transportation
company to assist in handling freight
from I -e wist on to this port.
'There would be nothing In it for
anybody to out rates." aald the owner of
the Charles R. Spencer thle morning,
'"because rates are now down as low ae
possible. At II a ton for wheet the
profit le eo email that It really makes
little difference to us whether we carry
the grain or not."
With the J. N. Teal in the field much
better service le looked for, so that the
farmere will be greatly benefited.
