"Portland still ohipa 6orae wheat," con
aOBlngly remained the Tacoma Ledger
about a month ago, and the Government

roborated the assertion of the Tacoma pa
per. Those statistics showed that during
the ilrst month of 1900 Portland shipped
more "wheat then -was shipped by any
other' port In tbo United States. Naturally
It could not be expected that the North
Pacific metropolis would continue In the
lead ower New York and a number of
ther big Eastern ports, but the February
figures of the Bureau of Statistics show
Portland to bo surprisingly near the head
ct the list, there being but three ports
ahead of us. This showing Is more re
markable when It Is considered that In
February, 1899, Portland was sixth on the
list, with Puget Sound seventh. This
year the Sound has dropped back to ninth
place, and Portland has advanced to
fourth place. The exports from the vari

City of Florence Going: to Pieces at
Half Koon Bay.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 20. Captain.
Stone and 26 men of the wrecked British
ship City of Florence, which struck. .on,a
reef 10 miles south of Point Pedro at 9:30
P. M. March 19, were picked up by the
tug Alert two miles north of Point Pedro
late this afternoon and brought to this
city.
The Florence sailed from Iqulque lor
San Francisco February 2 with ISOO tons
of nitrate consigned to Balfour, Guthrie
& Co. She encountered fine weather to
the equator, which was crossed zi aays
out. March 19, at 9:30 P. M., with the
weather hazy and the wind from the
northwest, the ship struck twice on a reef.
She was full to the scuppers with water
in 10 minutes after striking, compelling
the officers and crew to take to the boats,
the captain and 18 men in one boat, and
the second officer and seven men in an
other. The crew saved some of their per
gonal effects, but the. officers left the sink
ing ship with nothing but the clothes they
had on their backs.
The City of Florence belongs to the
City of Florence Shipbuilding Company,
and G. Smith & Co., of Glasgow, are the
agents. She Is a total loss.
(The British ship City" of Florence was
a well-known old-timer in this port. She
was one of George Smith & Co.'s famous
"City" line, which has been sailing In the
round-the-Horn trade for the past third
of a century. The City of Florence was
one of the early vessels of the fleet, and
was built 33 years ago. She was Just com
pleting a very fast trip when she came to
Xrief yesterday. Half Moon Bay is a small
inlet, about 20 miles south of San Fran
cisco. The soundings outside of the bay
are almost exactly the same as those lead
ing into c the Golden Gate, and it is be
lieved that this fact was responsible for
the disaster. Coming up in the fog, and
with a fine passage of 46 days from Iqulque
o his credit, the captain was undoubtedly
sounding his way in under the impression
that he was oft the Farralones. A simi
lar mistake two years ago caused the loss
of the T. F. Oakes within a very short
distance of where the Cty of Florence has
left her bones.)

DUB TO PILOT'S MISTAKE.
ThottKht "Wolcott "Was Five Miles
From the Fatal Rocks.
SEATTLE, March 20. Inspectors Whit
ney and Lehhers held an investigation into
the wreck of the Pacific Steam Whaling
Company's steamer Wolcott, near "Uyak
Bay, Kadiak Island, on the night of Jan
uary 31 last. The investigation showed
that the Wolcott struck on Equator Rocks
about a mile off the shore, and that the
night was clear, and not stormy. Captain
Snow was asleep in his cabin, and Pilot
Keane was on watch. Pilot Keane said
he thought he was off Harvester Island,
which is about five miles from Equator
Rocks. A significant point In the inquiry
was a question to Keane, if in doubt, why
he did not call the captain, to which he
replied that in his own mind he was posi
tive he was off Harvester Island. A de
cision will be rendered- in a few days.

being made there already for a railroad,
and says towns will spring up at many
places on Behrlng Sea. He says, in part:
"A company has surveyed a railroad
from Port Safety, 35 miles below, to
Port Clarence, 73 miles above. The com
pany expects to tunnel Behring Sea, and
to run down the coast far enough to
have a winter harbor.
"I have had It demonstrated of late
that tho tundra for miles bids fair to be
good as the beach. The tundra was all

three to five miles back to the hills. It
looks like the biggest mining proposi
tion on earth.
"This is not a one-year stand. Behrlng
Sea will be the Baltic of the West, and
mining towns will dot the shores for 200
miles. It is difficult for one who has not
been here to realize the outlook.
"We have good property for our syn
dicate, and I assure you we have our
pile here."
The mail brings a copy of the Nome
News of December SO, giving an account
of big gold strikes on Slate River and
Myrtle River, 650 miles up the Kpyokuk.
John Reynolds, Jack Webster and John
McLean had Just arrived in Nome with

Portland Steamboat Men "Will Again
"Re "Well Represented.
Quite a number of the Portland steam
boat men who were employed on the Yu
kon last season have already started for
the north, and more will follow within a
few days. Owing to the Canadian laws
but few of the Portland men 'can act as
masters of the steamers, but they are
taken as pilots, and perform the master's
work, and also draw his pay. Captain
Irving Sanborn, formerly a Willamette
River steamboat man. Is commodore of
the Canadian Development Company's
fleet, and that company has a number of
other Portlanders in charge of their
steamers. The Victoria Colonist, in com
menting on the prospects for an early
opening of 'navigation, says:
"The selection of officers for the Tessela
of tho Canadian Development Company's
Northern fleet during the approaching sea
son Is now proceeding, and it is already
decided that Captain Sanborn, last year
on the Bailey, will have the command of
the fine Columbian, his pilot being Cap
tain George Shaver, and his chief en
gineer Mr. Chapman. Captain McMaster
goes out on the Canadian, with Pilot Mur
ray and Chief Engineer Jefcot; while the
Victorian will be in control of Captain
Whltmore. with Pilot Turner as his right
bower. According to present anticipations
the C. D. fleet will be sent out from Ben
nett by the 10th of April."

ASTORIA, March 20. The coming fish
ing season will be the first time in many
years that all the seiners on the lower
river will begin operations at or about
the opening of the season. Usually the
prospect of high water from up the river
has taught them that it is not profitable
to start until the freshet shall have sub
sided, but as this year there Js no danger
of a flood, they will start much earlier
than usual.

Indianapolis News.
Mountain rats in the mines of Colorado
are about as big as wharf rats, but they
have a. bushy tall like a squirrel, and are
pets of the miners. Whenever the lunch
eon hour comes you will see the little fel
lows come from their holes or nests or
wherever they live In the Intervals be
tween meals, squat on their haunches, !
and sit there until one of the miners
shares his dinner with them. Whatever
they get of the scraps of that meal they'
sit up and eat Just as a squirrel does. The
miner doesn't exist that would not share
his meal with them.

Another Governor ot Guam "Will
Soon Be Appointed.
, NEW YORK, March 20. A special to the
Herald from Washington "says:
Information has beon received at the
Navy Department showing that some r.f
the orders Issued by Captain Learj'f Gov
ernor of Guam, have not been altogether
satisfactory to the inhabitants of the isl
and. One of the orders Issued by Caotiln
Leary, for example, forbade the ringing
of church bells night and morning. As
practically all of the inhabitants of Guam
are Roman Catholics and very de
vout, this caused some criticism. Captain
Leary has explained to the department
that the reason for the order was that
the church was quite near tho hospital,
and that the ringing of . the bells dis
turbed the typhoid fever patients. Most
of these patients have been discharged
rom the hospital, and it is believed tho
Governor can now revoke his original or
der. Captain Leary has in the main done ex
cellent work in the Island, and the au
thorltles are much gratified at the man
ner In which he has administered affairs.
It is understood, however, that he will
not be allowed to remain much longer,
hut will be detached, and another officer
with the rank of Captain sent to succeed
him.

CHICAGO, March 20. Representatives
of tho International Association of Ma

various cities where the machinists are
dissatisfied will govern the calling of a

Works, the plow factories, the bicycle fac
tories and possibly shipbuilding. In many
of the cities whero strikes are threatened
there are firms which have contracts with
the unions, and these will be lived up to
whether or not strikes are called.
For strike benefits and other expenses
of a great strike, tho International Asso

which has always been kept in reserve In
the national treasury for emergency use.

reached Lakevlew today of the death of
B. F. "Warner, a pioneer ot this county,
at San Francisco. He had been in poor
health for a number of years, and went to
California a few months ago In the hope
of Improvement. He made a trip south
a few years ago for his health, and re
turned much improved. He was 63 years
old.
Mr. "Warner came to this country os a
United States Cavalryman in 1SCT or 186S
and served under General' Crook at old
Camp "Warner and Fcrt Harney, until he
was honorably discharged In ISO, when
ho located on a ranch at Pine Creek, in
this county. He has since been engaged
in farming and stockraislng, and, in later
years, in merchandising. He had accu
mulated an estate worth about $10,000. He
was never married,, and It Is thought that
his estate will escheat to the state, as he
made no will and has no known relatives.
Alexander Reed, another pioneer of this
county, died at Pine Creek last week. He
had lived here for X quarter of a cen
tury, Wnd left a large family in this
county.

Prevents Many People From Trying
a Good Medicine. ,
Stomach troubles are so common and In
most cases so obstinate to cure that people
are apt to look with suspicion on any rem
edy claiming to bo a radical, permanent
cure for dyspepsia and Indigestion. Many
such pride themselves on their acuteness
in never being humbugged, especially in
medicines.
This fear of being humbugged can be
carried too' far, so far. In fact, that many
people suffer for years with weak digestion
rather than risk a little time and money
In faithfully testing the claims made of a
preparation so reliable and universally
used as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different In one Important respect
from ordinary proprietary medicines for
the reason that they are not a secret pat
ent medicine, no secret is made of their In
gredients, but analysis shows them to con-
I tain the natural digestive ferments, pure
aseptic pepsin, the digestive acids, Go'den
Seal, bismuth, hydrastls and nux. They
are not cathartic, neither do they act
powerfully on any organ, but they cure In
digestion on the common-sense plan of
digesting the food eaten thoroughly be
fore it has time to ferment, sour and
cause the mischief. This is the only eecret
of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and never can
cure Indigestion and stomach troubles be
cause they act entirely on the bowels,
whereas the whole trouble Is really in the
stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken after
meals digest the food. That Is all there
is to it. Food not digested or half digested
!s poison as It creates gas, acidity, head
aches, palpitation of the heart, loss
flesh and appetite and many other trou
hies which are often called "by some other
name.
They are sold by druggists everywhere
I at 60 cents per package.
