The largest cargo of flour that has ever cleared from the Columbia starts sea ward this morning on the Santa Fe's big Oriental liner Thyra. Portland has dis patched more "big cargoes of flour than any other port In the world, but the last outward trip of the Goodwin from. Puget Sound captured the record for a single shipment, and the cargo of the Thyra. clearing yesterday, is the nearest ap proach that we have yet made to a new record. It is also the first cargo in ex cess of 50,000 barrels to leave this port. The Thyra was cleared by T. JL Stevens & Co., and has aboard 51,931Vi barrels of flour, valued at $132,548. Hong Kong heads the list vlth 27,423 barrels, valued at 56S.- 162. Next In importanoe is a new port for Portland, New Chwang being listed for 12,500 barrels, valued at $33,125. The other flour shipments are as fol lows: For Chee Foo, 4000 barrels, valued at $10,600: for Shanghai, 547H barrels. valued at $1390; for Kobe. 1918 barrels, $5210: and for Yokohama. 6542 barrels, vai ued at $14,000. Hong Kong also receives a pretty heavy lumber shipment, there being for that port 135,500 feet, valued at $l35o: and for the same port there is listed 277 barrels and 65 cases of bottled beer, and five bales of hops In addition to the big cargo carried from Portland, the Thyra also has aboard 183 bales of cotton from San Diego, and a lot of miscellaneous plunder from San Francisco. She is drawing about 24 feet of water, and will go through without difficulty. CAPTAIN RICHARDSON DEAD. MaKsaclmaettn Court Sq Decrees, Bat the Columbine' Skipper Objects. Legally dead, but actually very much alive, has been the condition of genial Captain Richardson, of the United States lighthouse-tender Columbine, for the past three years. The captain went East on a hurried leave of absence about three weeks ago, and the object of his visit Is thus explained by the Morning Telegraph, of New London, Conn.: "One of the most peculiar of legal cases has Just come to light in this city, be lieved to have been the first of the kind to come before the Probate Court of this district It Is a case where a man has been declared legally dead, but who turns up in fairly good health and Is looking for a little wealth with which to con tinue in the enjoyment of the luxuries of this life. The story Is substantially as follows: "In 1889, John B. Edwards, a resident of "Waterford, passed away, leaving an estate, valued at between $2500 and $3000. The helrs-at-law were two half-brothers, William Edwards, of Waterford, and Charles Richardson, who had not been heard from since 1SC6. The estate was settled by Henry C. Fuller, as adminis trator. He turned over one-half of the estate to Attorney John C. Geary, as conservator of William Edwards, and placed the balance in bank to await the other clalmant-at-law. "In 1897 a law was passed in the State Legislature which provided In cases where money belonging to a person not heard from In seven years or more was deposited in a bank, it could be, upon application by the heirs of the absent person, administered upon and an ad ministrator appointed, as though the ab sent person was dead, and with authority to divide the Income of said property be tween the helrs-at-law of the absent per son, supposed to be dead, for a further period of seven years; and after that the principal or any part of it could be used for the benefit of the helrs-at-law. "Attorney Geary, acting for William Edwards, made application, as provided by statute, to the Court of Probate; and. after the hearing of testimony. It was de creed that Charles Richardson was Justly dead, and was directed that his estate be turned over to Mr. Geary, conservator of William Edwards. "Since that time the income from said estate has been used for the benefit of William Edwards by Mr. Geary. "Now in comes the missing heir. Charles Richardson, who makes application that, notwithstanding the decree of the court that he Is dead, persistently maintains that he is alive. There have been several hearings beforo the Judge of the Probate Court. Hon. Alfred Colt, end a number of witnesses on both sides have given testi mony, but the court has not as yet ren dered a decision. "Charles Richardson Is captain of the United States lighthouse steamer Colum bine station on the Pacific Coast. He comes here from Astoria, Or., and has a leave of absence for 21 days. He left Astoria one week ago last Thursday, and arrived here on Wednesday last, and regis tered at the Crocker House. As his time here is limited, the Court of Probate Is hurrying along the case as rapidly as can be done, under the circumstances. There is hardly any doubt but that Mr. Rich ardson is the right claimant, but the Court must be satisfied beyond any possibility of doubt. "It seems that the detective In this case was Jacob Chapman, of Waterford. He was well acquainted with Mr. Richardson when he resided 'in "Waterford. as a boy, and finally succeeded In locating him on the Pacific Coast, and opened up a corre spondence relative to this case. Captain Richardson finally requested Mr. Chapman to place the claim in the hands of an at torney, and forwarded evidence of identi fication. Mr. Chapman selected Attorney Gideon F. Raymond, and Mr. Geary de clined to turn the property over to that gentleman. So In order to remove all doubt. Captain Richardson came here in person." WHALES ARE PLENTIFUL. State Encounters Thousands, and the New England Kills One. xne sieamer tate or uaiitornla. which arrived up Tuesday evening, encountered an enormous school of whales off the Ore gon coast. There were thousands of the big fellows, disporting themselves on all sides, and they formed an Interesting sight for the passengers, wno were unused to exhibitions -of that kind. They all kept our of the way of the steamer, and, ac cordingly the story the State brings Is not as , thrilling as that which has reached Vancouver, B. C, by the steamer New England. A special to a Seattle paper reads as .follows: "The halibut-fishing steamer New Eng land, which arrived from the north last night, mot with a peculiar adventure on her way down. She was running at full speed across Queen Charlotte Sound on Saturday night, when she ran into a large whale, which had apparently been Jusl coming to the surface. Her forefoot cut nearly a dozen feet into the marine mon ster, and by that time the vessel was prac tically brought to a standstill, although her machinery was still working. "As she worked forward she passed over the whale, which came to the surface again under her stern. Tho whale lashed the water Into a foam in what were evi dently his dying agonies, and the water for rods around was red with blood. In a few moments the whale turned over and sunk' ARGYLL IN PORT. Steamer Arrives at Both Terminals of the Portland-Oriental Line. The Oriental liner Argyll arrived in at Astoria at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, ahd will leave up today. The Argyll re ceived rather hasty orders on the other xjde, and came direct from Yokohama, ln- stead o proceeding to Hong Kong, -where the bulk of the Oriental cargo Is secured. As a result of her leaving but one rort. she Is flying rather light, having only about 2500 tons of cargo aboard. The Argyll made the run across in 16 days. which is very good time for a. vessel oi her class. Dodwell &. Co. had a Portland Oriental liner arriving at both ends of the line yesterday,' the Monmouthshire report ing at Hong Kong, at the same time the Argyll arrived at Astoria. Libel Against the Lalcxne. SEATTLE. Mav 16. The first official story of the collision between the British ship Queen Elizabeth and the American steamer Lakme, off Point-No-Point. April 14. was told today in the Federal Court through a libel filed by the Britlsn snip against the Lakme for about $10,000. It is claimed that the accident was due solely to the carelessness of the Lakme, because. being a steam vessel, she failed to avoid the Elizabeth, which is a sailing snip. Domestic and Foreign Ports.

My lambs are taking sick and dying with a peculiar disease. They get weak and cannot stand up, drawing their breath very quickly, with a noise In the throat and nostrils. When they stand they hold their head straight up, or, rather, throw it backwards. What Is the name of the disease and what remedy Is there for it? F. JOHANNESSEN. This inquiry was referred to Dr. James Withycombe, vice director of the Oregon Agricultural College and Experiment Sta tion, and he replied as follows: "The symptoms given would seem to indicate a diphtheritic inflammation of the mucus membrane of the mouth and throat. It is, however, impossible to cor rectly diagnose a case In the absence of any Information regarding the age of the lambe, the condition under which they are kept and the post-mortem appear ances. If the sheep are kept on low laud, it would bo a good plan to move them to higher ground. Diphtheria is contagious, hence the sick should be removed from the healthy members of the flock. It would be well to remove the flock to dif ferent pastures, as occasional changes of pasture are always beneficial to the flock. "Treatment If the lambs are constipat ed, give two tablespoonfuls of castor oil to a good-sized lamb, but rather smaller dosee to young lambs. Give two grains of chloride of potash In four tablespoon fuls of water three times a day. Poor success usually follows the treatment of sick lambs, hence the better plan Is to try and prevent the trouble by changing or Improving the general conditions sur rounding the flock." Notes From Santinm. SANTIAM, Or., May 16. Travelers over the line of the Corvallls & Eastern Rail road seem to see a touch of humor In the name of the most conspicuous saloon in the town of Gates. The sign emblazoned in several bright colors on the front of the saloon Is "Gates Ajar." According to the general acc;ptat!on, the proprietor In tends to convey the intelligence that his establishment is a haven of spirits. Some people suggest that the sign should be "Gates A-Jag." but from recent reports it Is surmised that the "Jar" is not out of place. Nearly every train coming down from the front brings boxes, palls and bundles of mountain flowers. These are gathered by residents of Detroit and other towns near the eastern end of the line and are sent to favored friends in the Valley. Just at present rhododendrons are the moBt plentiful. The flowers grow to a large size and are said to be the most beautiful of their kind that grow any where. Foreigners Got the Contracts. NEW YORK, May 16. Felipe G. Canton, of this city, who has Just returned from, a v'slt to Yucatan, says: "When I left New York for my trip to the South I was all confident that Amer ican bidders on electrical and structural iron contracts in Yucatan would bo the victors. I was. however, wrong, as the $500,000 contract for the electric light plant for the City of Merlda, which will bo the first electric light plant in the State of Yucatan, has been secured by the Sle mens-Hateke Company, of Berlin, and the S300.OW iron pier contract for Progreeso im'be-sn awarded to an English company. And why? Simply because better prices, better deliveries and better conditions all around, were accorded by the foreign firms. One thing that favored the Eu ropean contractors was the fact of their supplying more complete specifications than their American competitors." A Faded Dream. Astoria Astorian. C. L. Parker flled a, petition yesterday with the Counts' Court asking that the "town" of Necanlcum be abolished. The matter was taken under consideration, and unless a remonstrance be presented, will undoubtedly be granted. The object of the petition Is to convert, by official action, the Necanlcum district from town lots into acreage, as it Is represented that the Necanlcum site Is much better adapt ed for farming purposes than to the projects of wide-awake real estate agents with visions of quarter-lot empires and altltudlnous Investment. In the future, therefore. Necanlcum will be Just an ordi nary, quiet farming district, instead of a bustling commercial center that was at one time the dream of those who owned the property; that Is, provided there is no formidable objection to such a course.

GOLD ON KOYUKUK RIVER CLE AX-LOOKING AND COARSE, AND AS RICH AS ?SO TO THE SHOVEL. I Report of a Government Expert, Who Made a Personal Investi gation of That District. WASHINGTON, May 10. Mr. F. C. Schrader, of the Geological Survey, who was one of the party that made an In vestigation of and a report upon the Cape Nome gold fields, is aio personally famil iar with the Koyukuk region of Alaska, and, by request, makes a brief report upon this gold field. In this report he says: "Koyukuk River flows into the Yukon about 450 miles from Behring Sea and about 20 miles above Nulato. and has a large drainage basin, which headf in the northeastern part of Alaska, on the south ern slope of the rugged divide which sep arates the drainage of the Arctic Ocean on the north from that of the Yukon on the south. "The Koyukuk gold region lies in the SOUVENiR-BUTTON COUPON. Cut this out and send it in as an order for ono or more souvenir buttons made of Spanish bronze cannon eurrendered to the Second Oregon Volunteers at the capitulation of Manila. The entire proceeds will go to the soldiers' monument fund. Buttons are 25 cents each, in any quantity. In ordering, specify whether you want button-back or pin-back. The latter 13 for ladles. Buttons will be sent, postage paid, to any address In the United 'States or Canada. Secretary Souvenir Button Committee, Box 347. Portland. Oregon- e Dear Sir: You will And enclosed for which please send Spanish-American War Souvenir Buttons, with backs, to the following addresses: upper part of the basin, within the Arc- tic Circle, between (approximately) 67 . degrees and 6S degrees north latitude and j 147 degrees and 148 degrees west longi tude. The occurrence of placer gold at Tramway Bar, about 570 miles above th mouth of the river, on Its middle fork, has been known for some time. These .placers can probably be worked with a small amount of capital and means for hydraullcking. "During the Klondike rush, in the Sum mer of 1898. the Koyukuk region was vis ited by 1200 or more prospectors and ex plorers, many of whom ascended the river toy steamboat, while others came by trail. After passing the Winter there and find ing but little or no gold, most of them followed the Ice down the river by boat i v.o. Cnrinr nf 1R- Tn the meantime. y,mx-vfr in the month ot Marcn. coarse placer sold In paying quantities had been j. Za ci rv.&v nn nsf-ld rtiwnwred on Slate Creek, an east-iae tributary of the middle fork of the Koy ukuk, which It enters 16 mllce (approx imately) above Tramway Bar. The dis. covery was made by members of the Dorothy party, commonly known as the Dorothy boys. from Boston, Mass. "The country rock Is principally mica schist and slate. It is uplifted and stands on edge, while the gold occurs as shallow creek and gulch diggings. It Is found principally on or near bedrock, in thfl Jointings, Assures ana cleavage crevices. The gravels rarely exceed three and one half feet In thickness. The diggings be gin about nine miles above the mouth of the creek, at the confluence of the two main forks, of which the north one la known as Myrtle Creek and the south one as Slate Creek proper. From this point they extend up to the head of Myrtle Creek, a distance of five or six miles, and up Slate Creek considerably farther. At the time the region was visited by me, in August. 1899, but little mining, beyond development work, had yet been attempt ed. Two mining districts had been organ ized, known as Slate Creek and Myrtle Creek districts. Most of the season was being devoted to bringing In supplies and building cabins preparatory for Winter. Sluicing had been begun on but two claims, one of which, on iiyrtie jrcex. reported the gravel as yielding from $60 to $80 per day per shovel. The gold Is clean-looking and coarse. It lo considera bly rolled or flattened, and shows travel. The largest nugeet taken out h?.d a valuo of nearly $20. The benches along these creeks are also found to be auriferous, and are reported to prospect from 3 to 3 cento per pan. "In August there were reported to be 73 men at the dlrglngs. A score or so others were on their way. many from along the South Fork, where they had been working with only moderate success during most of the Summer. By estimate. there are probably 100 men now wintering In the region. The principal supply post for the region is Bergman, near what was formerly known as Arctic City. 440 miles by river above the mouth of the Koyukuk and 146 miles from the diggings. This po?t Is supplied principally by the Alaska Commercial Company, but Is owned by and In charge of Plckarts, Bettles & Plckarts. It ls.practlcally at the head of steamboat navigation on the Koyukuk. A nearer post is Peavy. 104 miles below Slate Creek. Here are located a United States postofllce. a United States land office, and a store, but at present the place Is not stocked with the staple articles of provis ions needed by the miners. The establish ment of a post at the mouth of Slate Creek during the coming Winter is pro poned by Plckarts. Bettles & Plckarts. who had much freight en route for the purpose. The principal Summer route into the region Is up Koyukuk River by flat bottom steamboat. In Winter the region may be best reached by the trails leading overland from the Yukon near Fort Ham lin, by way of Dall River, or from Fort Yukon by way of Chandlar River. Placer gold Is known to occur over a somewhat wide range of country In the Koyukuk region, but. like that at Tramway Bar. tho most of It may require capital to work the gravels. The placers on Slate and Myrtle Creeks are the only known rich diggings seen by members of the jTurvey. Late in August. 1S99. word was received at Bergman that rich prospects had recently bcrn found In a region known to the miners as Rocky Bottom, on the upper waters- of Allatna. or Allen kakat River, a large tributary to the Koyukuk. which It enters from the north west about 10 miles above Bergman." "Why Bryan Can't Drop Silver. New York Commercial Advertiser. L Bryan appears to the gold Democrats to be wanting utterly In bowels when he re fuses to listen to their appeals for leniency and mercy, but he cannot help himself. The great mass of his following believe In the platform of 1K9C as firmly as ever, not merely because of Its sliver plank, but of its general attitude toward everything that is stable and settled. It gives utter ance to their yearnings, which are as strong now as they were four years ago. If Bryan were to favor the obvious hum bug that Dickinson suggests, his party would throw him overboard instantly. Whatever may be said about their position, it is far more worthy of respect than that of Dickinson and o hers Ilk" him. who wish for some excuse for going back to Bryan. J They know that he Is exactly the same man now that he was when tltey refused to support him in 18BS. They know tfcat. If elected, on any platform, "he would be the most dangerous President the country ever had, both because of bLi own lack of character and the character of his sup porters, yet they would, if he would con sent to lie about nimseil ana ms purposes sufficiently to give them a plausible excuse for their conduct, come out In favor of his election. Their eagerness to do this seems to give Bryan much thu same feel ing of nausea that it does other people. - FOR CAPE NOME. Portlander Anxious to Get Possession of His Claim. Captain John Morrison, of Portland, left last night for Cape Nome, as he desires to get fn on his old claim before some one Jumps It. He realizes, that posssss'on Is several points In Cape Nqme law. He will be followed later on by Dr. Slddall, nf Th Dalles, who will bring an ex- tensive placer mining plarit up with him. This gold-saving machine cona.sts ot s-iuice boxes, screens, burlaps, blankets, copper plates, washer with pure silver, etc Be sides all these, a stock of quliksllver will have a place In the collection, and if any gold gets away from the doctor It will have to be pretty slippery. Ho says he iD6te .1900. the sum of in Yours Truly, has been offered all sorts- of fancy prices for his outfit, but prefers to try It on those sands where last Summer $10 to $100 a day was made to the man, with rockers. By handling 10 times the amount of sand to the man, and employing a lot of men, Messrs. Slddall and Morrison ex pect to have money to burn this Fall. AT THE HOTELS. THE PORTLAND. L Graham.

Peculiar Relief Asked br Certain Settlers Carriers Don't Lllce to Sfalce rip Deficiency of Time. WASHINGTON, May 12. A requeet haa been made by the labor organizations of the State of Washington for additional Im migrant Inspectors on Puget Sound. It Is claimed that the Government cannot be protected against the Influx of contract laborers unless Immediate help is allowed. Three additional temporary inspectors were authorized; several weeks ago by the Secretary of the Treasury, and the policy of the Government is to employ all the necessary Inspectors in accordance with the recommendation of the Collect or for the Puget Sound district. Some of the labor organizations- of the State of Washington also believe that the alien contract labor law Is being frequent ly violated by the Importation of large parties of Japanese laborers. In order to prevent further violations of the contract labor law, the Government has been asked to send additional secret service men to the Puget Sound district an.d to conduct a careful and thorough investigation, with a view to putting a stop to the methods followed by men who are alleged to be realizing large sums of money In con tracting for Japanese laborers In Japan and bringing them to this country to be sub-lot to railroads and other corpora tions. Settlers Ask Peculiar Relief. A number of ettlers In the northwestern part of the State of Washington who took up land and made improvements thereon and whose property was subse quently taken inside of a forest reeerve have applied to the General Land Office for somo means of relief. The relief sought is of a very peculiar nature, tho apllcants believing that Inasmuch as they were placed Inside a forest reserve and were therefore isolated, they were war ranted In selling their holdings, regardless of their Improvements, because they did not believe that relief would come to them through the elimination of their section of the country from the much-detested forest reservation. Accordingly, In the meantime, their holdings were sold and subsequently the lands originally entered by them were excluded from the reserves, and they now desire the department to provide some means by which they can secure their original rights, either by com pensating the parties to whom they sold or in any other manner that might be suggested. In all cases of this kind the department, while recognizing the hardships endured, states that it Is impossible to offer any relief. If the original settlers have ex hausted their rights under the settlement laws they are not entitled to make further entry, and no further consideration will be given to their claims or alleged claims. Carriers Object to 48 Hours a "Week. Tho letter-carriers of the State of Wash ington have protested, in many Instances, agalnet the passage of the bill regulating their hours of work. The objection raised by the carriers !s based on that portion of the bill which states that they may be compelled to work an average of eight hours a day or 43 hours a week. While th'e bill was under consideration by the Senate committee, after being brought over from the House, an amendment to this section was proposed, and, as the bill now stands, it requires that the letter carriers may be required, as nearly as practicable, to work only eight hours of each working day; In any evnt not to exceed 4S hours during the working days of each week. There are a number of other provisions regarding the holidays and providing that carriers may be required to work accord ing to tho needs of tho service, but the pith of the objection raised by the car riers has been- against a provision com pelling them to work -an average of eight hours a day. Under the provisions of the bill as It stands, they may be required to work eight hours a day in any one day, but aro not required to work eight hours a day for the week or month. Therefore a carrier may be employed on three days of the week only an average of half a day without being required to work additional or overtime during the remainder of the week. As originally drawn, the carriers would be subject to orders to work an average of 43. hours during the week and be subject to overtime at any time during the wjek according to the needs of the service, provided they did not work a total of over 4S hours. The usual provisions are made for the payment for overtime. RECEIVED NO SUPPORT. Why the Commissioner Could Not Stop a Flahivhecl. Relative to the published complaints about the flshwheel at Oregon City, Fish Commissioner Reed said yesterday: "I have been expecting for some time to hear from the Willamette River Flsh ermen'e Union In regard to the flshwheel at the falls. My expectations were real ized yesterday by reading the Interview of your reporter with John Y. Humph rey, president of the union. I wish to re mind tho members of the union of what took place up there not more han six months ago. "When the Fall fishing season opened on the Willamette, the owners of the fish wheel Informed me that they were going to operate It. I told them that they must not put It within the distance required by law of the fishway; If they did I should arrest them. They put the wheel In near Where it is now; my deputy, under In structions from me, arrested them, and the case was tried before Justice Schuebel and a Jury of six men, supposed to be cit izens of Clackamas County, and I pre sume residents of Oregon City. Deputy Prosecuting Attorney DImIck acting for the state, and George C. Browncll for the defense. "The most peculiar thing about the trial woo -the absence of the members of the Fishermen's Union. I had supposed that each and all of them would be glad of the opportunity to testify against the owner of a flshwheel, and I even told one of the owners that I had a 'dead c'nch' on him, and was afraid he would not get a fair trial, owing to the feeling' of the fishermen against this method of catching fleh; but I learned before the trial waa ended that my fears were without any foundation whatever, and that my 'cinch was not as 'dead as I had supposed. "Aside from one fishermen, who gave his evidence, and I do not know If he was a member of the union, the Constable, in summo'nlng the witnesses for the state, could find none In town. I went out my self to a saloon and found one men; and, after a great deal of persuasion and tell ing him that It was a friendly suit be tween the state and defendant to ascer tain if there was a fishway there, I in duced him to go on the stand and tes tify. "I will not attempt to quote the evi dence for the etate, as It can be obta'ned from the records of the Justice of the Peace. In my opinion. It was sufficient to establish the fact that there was a fish way there, and the defense could not deny the fact that the state appropriated a sum of money for that purpose, and that a por tion of that money was expended In the construction of a fishway over the falls, and that the 'flshwheel was being operated In the fishway. "Notwithstanding, all this, the attorney for the defense at the close of hie argu ment to tho Jury asked the Judge to In struct the Jury to bring In a verdict of not guilty. The Judge complied with the attorney's request, the jury signed the verdict and were discharged. "When any member of the Willamette River Fishermen's Union has any more I complaints to make In regard to the fieh- wheel in what I call the fishway over the falls at Oregon City, it will be well for him to remember that had they gavo me what assistance they could at the trial mentioned I think that the Jury and -the court would have been convinced that there waa a fishway there, and the own ers would have had to remove the wheel. As the case stands now, the owners have been arrested and tried, the court has said that they were not guilty, and I think the statute provides that a person cannot be tried twice for the same offense."
