Prom. Portland Oriental LiHCr
Arjyyll Arrives.
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

at $10,600: for Shanghai, 547H barrels.
valued at $1390; for Kobe. 1918 barrels,
$5210: and for Yokohama. 6542 barrels, vai

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.

The Oriental liner Argyll arrived in at

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.

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.

Diphtheritic Lambs.
AIMS, Or., May "U To the Editor.)
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.

and, by request, makes a brief report
upon this gold field. In this report he
says:
"Koyukuk River flows into the Yukon

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

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."

NEED MORE INSPECTORS
LABOR ORGANIZATIONS FEAR CON
TRACT JAPANESE ARE COMING.
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.

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."
