Snags Plentiful at Tillamook. - VANCOUVER, B. C, March 23. Ac counts of serious marine disasters in Aus tralian waters were brought by the steam er Warrimoo, from Sydney, which ar rived today. A serious loss of life oc curred In the wreck of the cutter Espeigle, owned In Nukualofa, Tonga, which went to pieces on Otoma Reef, when Captain J, Castle and 20 Tonganans were drowned. A valuable cargo was also lost. Another total loss was that of the four masted French bark Emlle Renouf, from Tliio, New Caledonia, for Glasgow. She carried 'a cargo of 3700 tons of nickel ore. On February 6 she ran upon an uncharted rock JB0 miles south of Mare Isfe, and sank Immediately. The crew of 36, with the wife and children of the commander. Captain Bougu, escaped In two small boats, without food or water, so sudden was the disaster. The shipwrecked com pany remained In the boats for a night and a day, but on the second night they were picked up and landed safely at Nou mea. The Marine Board of Sydney has paid 'a high compliment to Commander Everett, of the United States ship Culgoa, for his gallantry in effecting the rescue of 31 passengers and the crew of the steamer Alrlle, wrecked on Chapman Island Reef on January 21. NOTROUBLE AT PORTLAND. Liverpool Chamber of Shipping' After the San Francisco Crimps. ' The Liverpool Chamber of Shipping has In the past had so much to say in regard to sailor abuses in .this port that it Is re freshing to at last near of a grievance in which Portland Is not the offender. The San Francisco crimps are the men they are after at the present time, and Tues day's Chronicle has the following regard ing the matter: "According to advices received in the city yesterday, 'the Liverpool Chamber of Shipping will take action in the matter of the alleged 'crimping' in San Francisco harbor. The Liverpool body has, it is reported, requested the British Govern ment to ask the United States authorities to put a stop to the practice of extorting money from captains of British ships that call here. New York shipowners are said to be Interested in the movement Reso lutions expressing the sense of the Liv erpool Chamber of Shipping have been drawn up, reciting that for years British ships have been subjected to the practice of 'crimping' in San Francisco harbor. Boarding-house men, according to the res olutions, have made It a practice to get crews of vessels away from masters, and hold them for other vessels, the captains of which pay from $20 to $75 per sailor. This, say the Liverpool shipping men, im poses. a heavy penalty upon shipping, and causes great trouble." In this connection it might be men tioned that Portland is the only port on the Pacific Coast where ships are not having trouble and suffering considerable expense in obtaining crews at the present time. The wages of sailors out of Port land are lower than they are out of any other port on the Coast, and ships are no longer held up for excessive blood money. The present arrangement seems to be sat isfactory all round, and less complaint is heard than ever before. THE COPPER aUEEN. Diminutive Coasting? Craft Makes a Good Rnn From Gray's Harbor. E. B. Burns, owner of the little steamer Copper Queen, which recently drifted bo fore the storm from Yaqulna bay to Gray's Harbor, reached Portland yester day. He said the report of women tjelng aboard the distressed craft was without foundation, .as there were but six persons on the Copper Queen at the time himself and his two children, the skipper, the en gineer and a deckhand. There was no panic on board, though provisions were getting rather low when they were picked up off Gray's Harbor. The machinery of the Copper Queen was repaired within 15 minutes, at an ex pense of 50 cents, when she reached port, a broken deflector on the forward gas engine causing the trouble. If the vessel had been provided with an extra deflector, no delay would have been met in reach ing Yaqulna. , The Copper Queen was built at Gold Beach. She Is -55 feet long, and of 25 tons burden, and was built for the coasting trade between Rogue River and Northern points. She is now chartered to transfer 4000 cases of salmon from the Klernan cannery, at Siletz, to Yaqulna, where the cases will be shipped by railroad. At present the Copper Queen Is at Astoria, but she will leave for Yaqulna In a few days. Mr. Burns is quite proud of the steamer's record, as she -reached Astoria In ( hours' run from Gray's Harbor. BLASTER EXONERATED. Loss of the Lanrada Not Chargeable to the Captain. SEATTLE, March 23. No blame at taches to Captain White for his conduct in beaching the steamer Laurada. His action Is, practically Justified by United States 5Iarlne Inspectors Whitney and Lehners'ih their decision in the matter of the wreck of the vessel, which now lies bleaching on the shores of St. George Is land. The investigation into the causes of the disaster was concluded last week, and today the Inspectors rendered their decision. The text of the opinion is as follows: "In the matter of the loss of the steamer Laurada, while we find the vessel too deeply laden at the beginning of the voy age for that season of the year, yet on leaving her last port of call, Dutch Har bor, she seemed to be in good condition and seaworthy in every way. We hereby exonerate Captain Francis M. White, mas ter, from all blame for the loss of the said steamer Laurada." SNAGS WERE THICK. Over 350 Removed From Hoquarton SloaKh, Tillamook. TILLAMOOK, March 23. Since the Gov ernment derrick commenced work In Ho quarton Slough It has pulled out 98 large snags and 154 small ones. In two of the snags .were found two propeller blades. Until such time as the water in the slough becomes clear, the work of clearing out the snags from the channel will be stopped and dredging commenced. Most of the bad snags have, however, been re moved, and there Is not much danger of steamers striking snags with their pro pellers. Dry Stocking bar is where the derrick is to commence work dredging, It being the opinion of a number of people that It is a rock heap which caused the bar to form there. INCREASING FACILITIES. Joseph. Supple Adding- to Hla Boatbuilding- Plant. Joseph Supple has purchased the large saw, machinery and shed on the north side of Wolff & Zwicker's building, on East Water, and Thursday the plant was removed to the shipyard on East Water and' East Yamhill streets. Mr. Supple has had the building placed at the south side of his yard. He says that ha will need the saw In working up the tim bers for the coasting steamer for the Tillamook route, for which he has re ceived the contract. He will put In a large boiler also, on the ground, for power purposes. The Reliance, the new steamer for The Dalles, Portland & As toria Navigation Company, will be out of the way next week, so that work may be pushed on the coaster. It was Intended to launch this craft this week, but the weath er has been so" favorable that Mr. Sup ple thought he would keep the boat In the yard and proceed with the construction of the upper cabin. The machinery., is about completed, so that it mlghMbe started up, at any time. In this yard also the Jessie Borthwlck will be taken out, and a house built on her. Counter LibeJ Claims.

Sheepmen Generally Report Favor able CoadltloBS as Regards ' "Weather and' Range. PENDLETON, Or., March 21 Five thousand sheep, belonging to Charles Cun ningham, have already been sheared in this county, and this is two months before the time that shearing usually Is begun. The shearing of sheep so early as this is, perhaps, unprecedented in any county In Eastern Oregon, and is occasioned by the unusually warm weather which has pre vailed the last few weeks. This shearing also has taken place before lambing has even begun, another very unusual fea ture. The wool taken from the sheep, al though it has had but ten months' growth. being sheared two months earlier. Is well grown, clean and of good staple. Weather conditions were so favorable during the Winter and Spring as to cause a continu ous growth, which makes & fiber without any breaks in it. Sheep men generally are reporting most favorable conditions, both as to weather and range. The clip this year will be re markably fine in Quality, will be heavy per fleece, and unusually good staple. The fine wool clip which will soon be In tn warehouses, together with the tremendous demand for sheep of all classes, promises to give the sheep man this year a repe tition of his experience of last season, when he was able to sell, at good prices, all the wool and sheep which he had to dispose of. Cattle men, as well,- appear to be upon the top wave of prosperity, and- sucS prices as 4& cents a pounds for beef on the hoof are being refused by the stock men, who are so confident of the value, of the stuff In their possession that they name 5 cents in most instances as the minimum figure which they will accept for their fat cattle. An occasional pur chase is being made for shipment to Pugot Sound of fine beef cattle at prices below 5 cents-per pound, but the majority ol cattle men appear to turn aside from all such offers. Fat mutton sheeo. averaging a trifle over 100 pounds each, are bringing about $5 per head, and no one having fat sheep, ox stock sheep, for that matter, experiences any difficulty In selling at any moment h will accept prices consistent with the con ditions In the market in which the buyers must place their purchases. XX EXHIBIT OF TCATTVE "WOODS. An Effort to" Get Collection for the State University. EUGENE, March 21 The local State University Alumni Association is making an effort to secure the collection of na tive woods, which was gathered lor ex hibition at the Omaha Exposition.

The Lane County growers are generally in favor of such an organization. The number of voters registered is 3200, which is not 75 per cent of the voters of the county. The case of the Blue River Mining Com pany v& Frank Mengoz, the alleged claim Jumper, which has been on trial for two days past, has been finished, and the jury brought in a verdict In 'favor of plaintiff. Divorces have been granted in the fol lowing cases: Mattle A. vs. Silas H. Pearl; Gertrude M. vs. Harvey S. Thomas; Lelah B. vs. William King; J. N. vs. Eva Jones; Mary vs. Fred Wald; Mary M. vs. M.

San Francisco Chronicle. The arrest at Cprvallls, Or., of Hilda Hpbson, alias Hilda Taylor, the fictitious Red Cross nurse, on the charge of steal ing a horse and buggy, will recall to many San Franciscans the bold and -persistent actions of this clever swindler during her sojourn in this city. She was here only about four months, but during that time she systematically preyed upon a public made sympathetic by the almost daily ar rival of battle-scarred and fever-stricken soldiers and people in every walk of life were her victims. "She wore the emblem of the Red Crosi society on her sleeve, but' took care to keep Jt from view while on the street. In a house or store she would solicit finan cial assistance for the society, and display the cross to strengthen her story. She also claimed to be looking for nurses to go to Luzon. In order to keep informed of the actions of the Army nurses she cul tivated the. acquaintance of several officers and privates who were stationed at the Presidio at that time, being careful to keep them ignorant ot her dual life. On the claim that she had several hundred dollars coming to her as soon as her finals were received from Manila she succeeded In obtaining several bills of goods from various local stores, and the rooming house at which she lived during her stay here is still awaiting the arrival of tha money." Pine Valley Notes. PINE VALIiET, Or., March 22. The lack of snow In the hills causes some uneasi ness over the supply of water for this sea son's crops, but with careful husbanding of resources, there will probably be enough to fill all wants. Eagle Valley citizens meet Saturday evening to endeavor to organize a co-operative fruit and vegetable cannery. They are stirred to this action by the report that the big Mormon Company that con trols the Sumpter Valley Railway, the La Grande sugar factory and many other minor industries in Eastern Oregon, is planning to put in a canning plant In their valley. The latest from the Northwest Railway project Is that the road will be com pleted to the mouth of Powder River, and from this point good wagon roads will be built to the mines on Lower Snake river and to Pino Valley. This comes from the receiver, T. B. A. Price. Bryan "Will Speak In Seattle. SEATTLE, March 23. Colonel Bryan is to speak In Seattle.

The American Naval Authority on International Arbitration. ' MONTREAL, March 23. Captain Mahan Is to. have the honorary degree, of Doctor of Laws conferred upon him on April SO by McGU "University. Two Interesting letters from Captain Mahan to Principal Paterson are made public here. In one, he says: "I am very glad to know that any ut terance of mine has given satisfaction to the people of Canada. At this period of the world's history, whatever tends to draw closer the ties of kinship betwen tho United States and the British Empire, whether in its whole or In its parts, is a matter for congratulation. The result ot cordial mutual understanding Is sure to be reached, provided those of us who realize the Importance can have the pa tience to bear with the extravagances of opponents on one side or the other." In the second letter he makes the fol lowing observations on International arbi tration: "I do not greatly value arbitration, ex cept in deciding pure matters of fact. As regards the relations of the two peoples, you do not dwell upon what to my mind is the . crucial necessity, namely, patience on tha part of those who think as we do with the volatile, prejudiced, unthinking or malevolent parts of the community. In a way. Great Britain needs this mofe than we, because your comparatively homo geneous, people find It hard to understand the violent utterances and professions of a nation which has not yet reached the stage even Qf being composite, but Is simply heterogeneous with prejudices often akin to the solL "In this tho Irish are conspicuous, but even tho Germans do not wholly escape, although, as Americans, they have a high er and more intelligent patriotism. But if it is hard for Great Britain to bear, what Is it to those of ua who see the righteous ness and policy of the state endangered by suoh folly and malevolence as -has been shown .hero lately? There is but one thing patience; faith that a3 the elements of future understanding between the English speaking peoples exist so they will pro gress to perfection if only we are patient ln action and endurance." SOLDIERS RELEASED. Privates Fair and Jockens Out on a Writ of Habeas Corpus. OMAHA, March 21 Judge Munger today granted the writ of habeas corpus in tha case of Fair and. Jockens, the two mem. bers of the Tenth Infantry, at Fort Creek, held for trial ln the State Court for thp shooting of deserter Morgan. The men had previously been acquitted by a court martial.

Taey.Flnd It Necessary to Make Ex nlanatlons to Their Constitu ents, "Who Are Displeased. WASHINGTON, March 18. Representa tive Tawney, of Minnesota, Is one of the men who rushed in with all the power and vigor he had to support a duty on Puerto Rlcon products; he was one of the mem bers of the way3 and means committee, and also a member of jthe committee on Insular affairs, who was Insistent from the first that we must have a tariff, and would have supported anything that was offered him, though finally consenting to drop from 25 to 15 per cent. Now, Mr. Tawneys state and his district were for free trade with the islands acquired from Spain. Two members ot the Minnesota delega tion voted for free trade with Puerto Rico. They have been receiving the praises and Tawney a great many kicks from the people of his state. Mr. Tawney found It necessary to make some sort of an explanation.- He there fore rushed into print through a letter to one of his personal friends in his district, in which ho pointed out that the "good men" who had voted for the tariff on Puerto Rlcan goods had been badly mis represented, not only by the special cor respondents, but by the. Associated Press. The correspondents' and the Press' re ports had taken pains to avoid giving anything about the expediency of the tar iff on Puerto Rlcan goods, he said. This is, such a weak plea that It Is a. wonder a man as bright as Tawney would make it. To say that tho provisions of the Puerto Rlcan bill have not been given Is absurd. The bill was telegraphed In full all over the country as soon as reported. More than that, all the arguments pro and con have been given very fully. The state ments of various men supporting the bill that It was absolutely necessary In order to furnish funds for Puerto Rico has often oeen given. Probably in the same suggestion-it has been pointed out that this argument was fallacious, but at the same time the friends of the measure have been given every show and tho strongest argu ments they have put forth in favor of taxing the colonies of the United States, in defiance of. the fact that the fathera of the Republic went to war for the very same reason, have been given, and yet the people are not satisfied, and still find, fault. It Is probable that other men who have found their districts getting too hot for them have made some representations to their constituents, but none have been quite so foolish as to attack nearly all of the Washington correspondents, as well as the impartial and nonpartisan Associated Press reports that have contained infor mation and news about the Puerto Rlcan tariff bill.
