has been visiting the Sumpter district
during the past week. Mrs. Koester Is
making her first Western visit, but is
not to be classed with the usual "ten-

herself with general information of the
Eastern Oregon gold fields, and. although
never having had any previous mining
experience, she will discuss ledges, cross
cuts and asay values with the freedom
of a native. She has made a thorough
examination of the St Anthony proper

brimming with enthusiasm over the great
future of her property and the Sumpter

PORTLAND, May 2S. (To tho Ed'itor.)
The statement ln this morning's Oregonlan
by Mr. L. M. Knight regarding the Blue
River mines Is misleading and greatly
overrates the output of the Lucky Boy
mine. It Is true, I am part owner of this
mine, and will admit that it is a good
paying property, considering the money In
vested. The mine is not for ale, and
the owners have no desire to boom it
The gentleman, no doubt, got h!a Infor

RECORD-BREAKING TRIP
BRITISH BARK GALGATE COXES
FROM SHANGHAI IX 27 DAYS.
Covered 3600 Miles la Tea Days
Mere American Shipbuilding
Marine Xotes.
Phe British bark Galgate, Captain Grif
fiths', arrived up from the lower harbor
yesterday afternoon, and docked at Vic
toria dock, -where she will discharge bal
last The big- four-master made a record
breaking run on htr voyage from Shanghai
to tbe mouth ot th Columbia, covering
the distance from buoy to buoy ln 27 days.
Tbe nearest inDioach to this record Is
said to have been made by one of Renton,
Holmes & Co.'s four-masted schooners,
which mado the run from Shanghai to the
Sound in 23 days. Vessels from Shanghai
are less frequent visitors hre than those
from Yokohama, and other Japan ports,
and the wonderful run of the Galgate can
be better understood when It Is stated that
tho voyage from Shanghai to the Colum
bia is generally conceded by shipmasters
to bo fully a week or 10 days longer than
tho run from Yokohama. The record pas
sage from the latter port to the Columbia
River Is a fraction less than 22 days, the
Selkirk making tbe record run about three
years ago.
The Galgate's biggest day's performance,
was 29G miles, but In a 10-day run sho
reeled off over 2G00 miles, .an average of
over 11 mil as an hour, and a speed which
would bother most of the tramp steamers
to maintain. Captain Griffiths reports
fairly good weather all tho way across,
until off the mouth of the river, when he
encountered the big storm which played
havoc all over the Coast. The Galgate
and the Lydgate are owned by the samo
firm, and on her last trip to 'Portland tho
Galgate was in command of Captain
Jones, who is now ln the Lydgate.
MAXY LUMBER STEAMERS.
nigh Rates on Sailers Bring Steam
in the Field.
The big turret steamship Elm Branch
is at the North Pacific mill, stowing away
a big cargo of lumber for the far East
Tho high rates at which sailing tonnage Is
held at the present time has resulted in
placing several steamers in the lumber
trade. The British steamship Energia,
which made a trip ln the Dodwell line a
few months ago, and returned to tha
Coast last week in the California & Ori
ental steamship line, was released at San
Francisco, and Immediately charter-id by
J. J. Moore to load lumber on the Sound.
The samo firm has recently. chartered the
Norwegian steamship Horda for the lum

MORE AMERICAX SHIPS.
Arthur Se-rrall to Build Tno for the
i Standard OU Company.
The Standard Oil Company has Just
closed a contract with Arthur Sewall &
Co., of Bath, Me., for the construction of
two Bteel four-m?ted ships of about ZVto
tons net register. They will be the larg
est American sailing ships afloat, and one
of them will probably be ready for seiv
lce before the end of the present yor.
The big oil trust has also let contracts
for a number of vessels to bo built In for
eign yards. One of these Is to he built
by Messrs. Russell & Co., of Port Glas
go, and will be 330 feet long, 49.6 feet beam,
27.6 feet depth of hold, and will have a
carrying capacity of 6250 long tons, thus
making It the largest calling-ship afloat
The company has also contracted with
William Hamilton & Co., of Port Glas
gow, for a similar sized vessel.
The figures agreed on for the two ships
to be built in the American yards have
not been made sublic, out the pair to be
built at Port Glasgow will cost JL(00
each. The Anglo-American OU Company,
which Is the name under which the big oil
trust does business in Europe, Ls also pur
chasing a large number of second-band
ships, buying them wherever tney can find
them. This Is quite convincing evidence of
the fact that the reign of the sailer is
not ended.
Another Grain Cargo.
The British ship Allerton was cleared
yesterday by Kerr, Gifford & Co. for
Queenstown or Falmouth for orders, with
116.C07 bushels of wheat, valued at -JC3.D00.
The vessel left down the river at 6 o'clock
last evening, and will probably get through
to Astoria some time today. The St.

will finish up within a day or two. It ls
uncertain yet whether or not she will get
through ln time to clear this month, but
even if she should fall to do so, the
month's business .will be ahead of th&t of
a year ago. If the St Mlrren clears in
May, it will still leave seven ships !i pt.it
under charter to load In June, with alrocst
a certainty of one or two more being add
ed to the list before the end of next month.

SAKE -HERE-DON' T COMPLAIN
Political Gratters Marketing Their
"Iamaence" ln Umatilla.
Pendleton East Oregonlan.
Mr. . , candidate for the office of
, on the ticket. In this county, was
found this morning in his place of business
and asked to enlighten the waiting public
as to -what he had learned regarding the
present campaign, and people generally,
that would be of interest. Mr. replied
that only one fact was ln his mind at
that time, and that fact absorbed all of
his attention.
"Do you know," said Mr. , confi
dentially, as he leaned forward, and whis
pered ln the ear of the writer, "there are
more grafters to the acre ln politics than
bushels of wheat when Umatilla County
raises a big crop. They are everywhere,
and they strike a man day and night for
money for their Influence.
"All tho other candidates are having the
same experience, and theyre in as great
puzzle as I am, as to whom to trust. Ask
any one of them and you will find that ha
thinks Just as I do."
The candidate then proceeded to tell
the names of some of the "prominent citi
zens" who come around to a candidate,
and, calling him oft to one side, 'say:
"Say, old man, can't you let me have
about $10 to spend with the boys? I can
do you a lot of good, and am anxious ror
you to be elected, you know."
Perhaps the grafter will say:
"Say, old man. I can control 15 votes,
and It will take a little money to do It
Can't you let me have $10 or $15 to treat
the boys?"
But, there are others who do not hesi
tate to come out with the truth, and say
to a candidate:
"Look here, I want some dough. And
I'll scrap you if I do not get It I can
do you a lot of barm. If I wont to, and
that's Just what I will do, unfess you do
the right thing. You can have my Influ
ence for exactly dollars."
"There are men who do this to mention
whom would cause surprise to every one
else In the county, excepting the other
grafters, who appear to think It Is all
right to take money for their votes," said
tho candidate. "I'd like to have you pub
lish the names, and If you would do so, I'd
stand the consequences, so far as my cam.
pafgn Is concerned."
TJPSET THE BUCKET.
Inanimate Thing Moved by a Fish
Story, With Disastrous Effect.
Albany Herald. '
Yesterday afternoon, a crowd of about
a dozen men were ln the hardware store
of Hopkins Bros., and among them was
Mr. P. J. Baltimore, when they turned
the conversation to their experiences of
troutflshing in Oregon. When it came to
Phll'o turn he said the Oregor trout was
the gamest fish that a nlmrcd ever had
the pleasure of throwing a fly over. That
on one occasion, when he was fishing in
the Breitenbush npar the hot springs he
threw a fly into a ripple and at once a
large Oregon speckled beauty took hold
of it and that he reeled out about 200
feet of line, and then took in nearly all
of It when the fish again rolled and he
gave him more line. This he kept up for
an hour and 20 minutes by actual time,
noted by his watch. Finally he landed
one of the finest trout ever caught ln
any stream, which meaeured about 27
Inches.
Just as" Phil concluded the last word of
his story a large granite-Iron milk bucket,
which was hanging to the celling of the
store, without any apparent cause what
ever, fell, top side down, squarely over
Phil's head and face, crushing his hat
and skinning his nose. No one knows
what induced the bucket to fall, and es
pecially at such a tlmt.
This Incident may look about as fishy
as Mr. Baltimore's experience, but It was
wltncrsed by not less than 15 reputable
citizens, who will vouch for the truth
of the incident.
"Calamity" Skip-worth Downed.
Bohemia, Or.. Nugget.
The Hon. E. R. Skipworth while here
last Saturday had two or three of the
old-line voters crowded In a woodshed
trying to beat into them the merits of
the Citizens ticket, and ostensibly his
own gigantic worth, and had occasion to
allude to the DIncley bill and Its short
comings. Ukewtee the "great and unneces
sary" expense It Is td the farmers. As he
was warming up to his argument one ot
the farm'rs suggested that if we could
have another four vears of the prosperity
we hav had in the laet four years we
could aford to pay for the DIngley bill.
Skipworth hesUated. a moment, smiled
