TENDERED A RECEPTION
LIEUTEJfAXT-GOYEIUCOR. OP IDAHO
FELL INTO GOOD HATVDS.
Commercial Club and Mining Steele
.Ezcbasse Combine to Give Him
i a. Good Time.
The informal reception tendered Iieu-tenant-Goveroor
Hutchinson, of Idaho,
by the Commercial Club last night, was
well attended by the business men of
the city. For a time the Columbia quar
tet band entertained the assemblage.
Then President H. M. Cake arose and
Introduced the guest of the evening. In
doing so. Mr. Cake said that Mr. Hutch
inson came here as the guest ol tne Ore
gon Mining Stock Exchange, and that it
gave the members of the club great pleas
ure to welcome him and to hare him talk
to -them of the mining Interests of the
Northwest.
Wlmt tlie Mines Have Done.
Lieutenant-Governor Hutchinson arose
and said that while ho was not a speaker,
but a mining man, ho -tas pleased to ad
dress the members of the club.
He said In part:
"Every mining boom Is preceded by an
aotlvlty In mining stocks. San Fran
cisco secured her big start from the boom
In stocks of the mines of Nevada, and
her substantial Interests there today are
enterprises started from the dividends of
the mines. Yesterday the students of
Palo Alto crossed h ts with your Portkmd
fcoyn, and yet Lelond Stanford University
would have been Impossible were It not
for the mines. Thousands of young of
today receive their education free because
of Stanford's belief In mlnea
"San Francisco prides herself and Justly
on her Palace Hotel, and yet If Jim Fair
had not Invested In mining stocks, the
Palace would have never been built. We
read Interesting news from all over the
world; news sent by cable and wire, and
yet If Mackey had not Invested In mining
stocks the Postal System would not be
under the ocean and over the land to
compete with the "Western Union. Think
of San Francisco and what made it.
Think of her magnificent street-car sys
tem, and who built it; of the wonderful
Southern Pacific; of Huntington and of his
start, and when you do, the people of
Portland and the Portland Commercial
Club will resolve to aid and help the Ore
gon Mining Exchange.
"I do not care to leave the United States
for illustrations. I could dwell on Johan
nesburg, In South Africa, and Its Chamber
of Mines; of the Transvaal and its gold
fields, each and every foot of which Is
stocked and London its market. I will
confine myself nearer home. Two mag
nificent newspaper plants, on In San Fran
cisco, the other in New York, are read
by thousands, but to the student who turns
the pages of history, he finds that the
General Custer mine, the Golden Chariot
group In Idaho, and the Hearst mining In
terests In California made these news
papers a possibility.
"Take the copper stocks away from Bos
ton and you vould. have a panic Take
Ialy, Clark and Heinz from Montana and
Arizona and what they represent, and
you would have neither railroads nor
smelters, and less than 20.000 people In
both places. Now. one is a state and the
other 1b begging to be a star on the Gag
of freedom.
"Idaho is produclrg one-half of the lead
of the world. Take stocks and mines
from Idaho, and Spokane, in Washington,
would be a village. Next to the Coeur
d'Alenes, the activity In the Republic dis
trict is due to tho rustling brokers cf
Spokane.
Tlie Early Colorado Dajs.
"Colorado! Oh, what memories I recall
when men were standing in Mne to buy
stocks in the Little Pittsburg, Chryso.lte
and Robert E. Lee. Eari dajs in Lead
villo passed away, but Denver became
'the beautiful" because Tabor and the
product of the Lcadville mines gave It a
start. Old-thnens held on and, on after
the boom collapsed in Leadville, an in
definable something holding them there,
and iost year the Homo company stock
Jumped from 4 cente to $25 per share be
cause another depos'tt had been found
under the carbonates and LeaxKlEe has
become a gold camp, and today John
Campion Is at tihe head of the Llttlo
Johnny, probably the greatest gold mine
in tho world, and he Is Incidentally pres
ident of the Chamber of Commerce in
Denvor, and building himself a magnifi
cent home there.
"Today of the thousands of men in the
Icy Klo.iidlke and the dTeary shores of
Capo Nome ami the isolated mlnlrg
camps of Oregon, Idaho and Washirgton,
how manj expect to have a home there?
My friends, there are none. Quoting the
miner's favorite song, 'They will always
remember their log-cabin home, their log
cabin home far away," but it Is every
prospector and miner's hope to be under
h!s own vino and fig tree, ard It's for
this, and this alone, he suffers the hard
ships and endurances of a frontiersman.
Do you know of a more beautiful place
for a lome than on the Columbia? Do
you know of a finer valley than the Wil
lamette? Do you know of a better class
of citizens than miners always ue path
finders of the world to build up the city
of Portland?
Stand by the Exchange.
"Give your Oregon Mining Stock Ex
change your moral help to advertise the
mining resources of Oregon and the
Northwest. Persuade the miners in the
ante formations of Baker City and in
the porphyry formations of the Bohemia
districts and of Grant's Pass that you
are their friends, and) when they settle
down for their future home they will
come here; they always go where they
feel that they have friends. Make your
Oregon mining exchange your official
bureau of information, and the investors
will surely come to Portland, ami when
they come" here I'm sure you will receive
them with the same Western hospitality
and kindness that I have received, and If
possible to remain they will never leave.
Which Shall It Bet
"I have taken the trip down the Hud
eon; taken the boat ride from Vancouver,
past Seattle, to Tacoma; I have been
through the Royal Gorge of Colorado,
and I have made the trip down the Co
lumbia to Astoria, and over the bar Into
the ocean of Balboa, and I am sincere In
saying that you have the prettiest spot
of all I think you have in Oregon the
grandest scenery in tho world.
"On every train you will hear one man
ask another this question: 'Which city
of the two do you think Seattle or Port
landIs going to be -the city of the North
west?' In my Judgment, it rests solely
with the people of Portland.
"We-want the Nicaragua Canal built at
the earliest moment. We want a port
age road on the Columbia, and have Ida
ho's own beautiful gateway city of Lew
lston at the bead of navigation. The peo
ple of Idaho are not 'Webfooters,' but we
are willing to take to the "water, eo that
our wheat from the Palouse country can
float into the markets of the world."
In the Banquet-Hall.
The speaker's closing remarks were
loudly applauded, as had been his talk
throughout. As eooa as he had taken his
seat President Cake, on beixilf of the
Mining Exchange, invited the guests into
the banquet-room, where he said the ex
change had prepared a spread in honor
of the Lieutenant-Governor.
Few if any failed to take advantage
of .this cordial Invitation, and soon the
happy assemblage was gathered arounc
the splcnd'dly decorated tables.
For an hour the wejl-tralned waiten?
came and went, bearing the many good
things which had- been prepared for the
occasion.
Finally the band began to play a pa
triotic air. Some one shouted "Stand up!"
when all the banqueters arose and Joined
In singing "The Star-Spangled Banner,"
with pleasing effect.
By this time the sound of popping corks
had become e familiar one, and the guests
were ready for the next act.
D. Soils Cohen had been selected a
toastm&ster, and light well did he per
form that office,
F. J. Hard, secretary of the Mining Ex
chance, responded to "Oregon's Mining
Exchange" In a talk, which was bota
Interesting and to the point.
H. C. Breeden was called to respond w
"What Effect Will the Exchange Have
on the Mercantile Interests of Portland?"
This he did In- hie own- business-like wa.
-C. -H. Morkham responded to "The Ex
change and the Railroads." H. M. Cake
spoke for tho lawyers of tho city. Dr.

SCHOTT IN RECITAL
Was the Introductory to a Summer
Series on Wagner.
There was -hearty applause and many
beautiful floral offerings at the Schott
song recital given at Parsons Hall last
evening. Every one seemed to be Imbued
with a sense of warm appreciation for
this opportunity to hear Wagnerian opera
Interpreted by one of the greatest Wag
nerian singers of his da-. The programme
was one of rare interest, comprising some
splendidly dramatic scenes that have not
been sung to death, from "RIenzl," "Lo
hengrin," "Tannhauser" and "Tristan and
Isolde." The -opening number was Tei
ramund's accusation from "Lohengrin,"
which was rendered with superb vigor by
Anton Schott. Numbers from "Rtenzr
and Lohengrin' "Farewell" were also
given by him later on In the programme,
the latter bringing him an enthusiastic
recall.
In the other numbers he was assisted
by his pupils. The" scene In the second
act of "Tannhauser," where Elizabeth
gives greeting to the Minnesingers at the
minstrel contest, was- very successfully
given by Mrs. Eleanor Rosa.
Tho duet that followed, with Herr
Schott, was an admirable piece of work,
fhe aceompamet. Miss" Marie Velguth,
contributing largely to the general effect
toy her unusually brilliant and sympa
thetic work upon the piano. Miss Reba
Hobson also had a remarkably beautiful
scene from "Lohengrin," the one In
which Ortrud (Miss Schuecking) inotras1
doubt into toer mind regarding Lohen
grin. A good deal of mtereat centered in
the love-soeno between Isolde (Miss
Schuecking) and- Tristan (Herr Schott), in
which .Miss Velguth (Brangoena) came la
with very delightful effect behind the
scenes, the purity and swe-etness of her
voice holding the audience quite in thralL
The last two numbers on the pro
gramme syffcred somewhat from lack of
freshness In the singers, the result of
weariness, but otherwise the work was
most enjoyable, and of a. remarkably high
order from the standpoint of Wagnerian
tradition and interpretation. Mr. Vanned
gave the Landgrave's address from
"Tannhauser," in addition to bis pleasant
and instructive explanations, which were
so valuable a feature of the evening. Miss
Schuecking and Mire Almee Newman's
accompaniments also called forth many
complimentary comments.
Portland music-lovers will be glad to
hear that this recital was merely Intro
ductory to a series that will be given
this Summer, by Herr Schott on Wag
nerian opera, after tho manner of the
Damrosch recitals.
Steamer Had u. Rough Experience en
Her Last Outward Trip Big
Ship Prom Antwerp,
- The Oriental liner Monmouthshire ar
rived, up from Astoria, at 6 o ciock yes
terday morning, after anchoring at the
mouth o the Willamette over nisfat. Ibe
steamer brought about. 250u tons of cargo,
lnaudJng about 7000 packages of new-crop
tea, the first that bos been received this
fltf&aon. The steamer had; a protty heavy
consiswmeat of freight lor Poroand, in
clining 3000 paclsigea o &uiprfur, 5S0 bales
of feemp, 100 -bales of gtmn.es, 6M fcocs
of rice and about 4000 packages of m.a
ceUaneouu freight, Including a big lot of
firecrackers and other Fourth, of July
iotas. The largest consignment of tea
was for New York, there being 2500 ob&sis
forthat pout, with Chicago second on itae
list,fwKh 1600 chests. There 'were also
cooslgamen!ts tfor Cleveland, St Paul,
Kansas City, Detroit. Rochester, Minne
apolis, Philadelphia and Boston. SeatCe
wes dowm on the manifest for some
Founto of July freight, and San Fran
cisco received 200 'bales of gunnies. Ill
chests of tea, and a lot of misceHaneoud
freight. There were 300 mats of rice, 10
oases of nut oil, and 51 cases of merchan
dise for .Astoria.
The Monmouthshire made & pretty fast
trip .from Hong Kong, hx spite of several
unpleasant delayp. She was 23 days In
making the run, Inducing a stop of near
ly three days at MoJL. She left Hong
Kong May 22, and after four days of mod
erate winds and fogs, arrived at MoJL
Bad weather at this port delayed her in
coaling, and she d3d not got away before
the morning of the 29th. She mode the
run to Kobe irt 24. hours, end after taking
aboard several hundred tons of freight,
soiled again on the 31et, reaching Yoko
hama on the morning of Juno L She
loaded considerable cargo at this port;
and at 6:50 P. M,, on the 2d, soiled for
Portland. Moderate easterly winds with
swells were encountered all the way
across, and Just before reaching the Co
lumbia, there was a heavy fog. The
Btoamer was off the bar Sunday evening,
and picked up a pilot at midnight, and
crossed in the Dext morning.
Wbile the toward trip of the steamer
was comparatively uneventful, her last
outward trip was one of the roughest
she has ever experienced. It was Cap
tain Kennedy's first trip as master, and
Old Neptune was apparency trying to
give the new skipper on initiation which
he would remember. The firm began soon
after leaving the Columbia, and for al
most the entire voyage the decks were
flooded. One of the boots was smashed
by a big green sea that curled over her
on April 19, and nearly two weeks after
ward, when off the Japan coast, another
boat, mot the same fate. The steamer's
speed fell away until there were some
days when she made but little over 60
miles, and the voyage which had been
made by the steamer in 13 days was
strung out to over 20 days. The Shire
was not alone in the gale, for one of the
Canadian Empress liners was hove to
with her off the Japan coast, neither of
the veasels being able to make any head
way. Captain Kennedy handled his
charge with all cf the skill of an old
timer, however, and eventually hundea
"rtor at Tokohamo, not much the worse
for her rough handling. The eteamer was
discharging at Alnsworth dock jesterday,
and will probably finish today.

Personal Notes.
SHORTAGE OF COAL.
Captain Randall, of tho Elder,
Writes From. Dutch Harbor.
Superintendent George Conway, of the
O. R. & N. water lines, yesterday re
ceived! ahettcr from Captain Clem Ran
daH, of the steamer Geo. W. Elder, giving
an account of the trip from Portland.
The Elder made a very fast run to Dutch
Harbor, reaching there June 3. Accord
ing to Captain Randall's letter, some of
the fleet were in a fair way to run short
em cool or else pay a fancy price fox it.
The Elder was promised coal at $12 per
ton at Dutch Harbor, but when Captain
Randall found that other vessels were
taking his "turn," he went over to Una
laska and secured the coal ho needed at
$15 per ton from the Alaska Commercial
Company. The "Nome City arrived before
the EWcr finished coaling, but was unable
to secure, any coal from tho A. C. Com
pany, who refused to sell any more to
any one.
At the tfcne Captain Randall wrote,
tho Zealandta, Roanoke, Ohio, Ellhu
Thomson and four oteam schooners were
waiting to coal, and the situation was
daily becoming worse. The Elder was
quite popular with the passengers, ard
this popularity increased several hundred
per cent after they bad been, ashore at
Dutch Harbor and listened to the tale of
woe from passengers on some of the oth
er ships. Captain Randall mentions tho
return of the steamship Senator short of
provisions, and states that she was with
in 175 miles of Nome when she was forced
to turn back.

The United States Department of As
riculture, Oregon section. Climate end
Crop Service. Weather Bureau, furnishes
the following weekly crop bulletin for tho
week ending Monday, June IS:
General Summary.
The week has been much more change
able than the preceding one. with the
fore part warm and dry, while the mid
dle and closing days were cool and show
ery. The rains were very beneficial, es
pecially to Spring wheat and pastures,
and they prevailed generally throughout
the state on Thursday, Friday and Sat
urday, and continued intermittently In Its
western portion during the remainder of
the week. Some hay, principally clover,
cut early In the week has been rendered
worthless by wet weather, but the good
done to other crops much more than off
sets this damage, especially as there Is an
abundance of hay yet left.
The changeablcness In temperature Is
especially noted In the maximum, or day,
temperatures, which is Western Oregon
ranged between 62 degrees and 90 degrees,
and In Eastern Oregon between 62 de
grees and 90 degrees. The variations In
the minimum, or night, temperatures for
these districts were smaller, ranging west
of tho mountains between 52 degrees ana
69 degrees, and east of them between 46
degrees and 72 degrees.
The Fait wheat in the Willamette Val
ley has made but little, if any, improve
ment during the week, and some fields
have been plowed up, while others have
been cut for hay or used for pasturage.
Fall Wheat east of the Cascade Moun
tains is In excellent condition, and an un
usually large crop Is almost a certainty.
Hot winds occurred last Wednesday. Just
previous to the rains, but it is not thought
that any shrinkage resulted from them.
The harvest of Fall wheat Is not general,
although a few fields have been cut, but
harvest work. Is now wholly suspended
and will cot be resumed until the weather
becomes more settled.
Spring wheat in every section has Im
proved during the week and its condition
is very promising, notwithstanding thav
a report Is now and then made of its be
ing affected by rust. The most careful
observers state that the rust only shows
here and there on a few blades nearest
