TO REPAIR THE JETTY
kouhtV appropriated SHOULD
BOOK BE AVAILABLE.
Trsstee f Chamber ef Ceaimerce
Dlscaas Tbls sad Other
Matters.
Kepalr -work on the Jetty at the mouth
of the Columbia will probably begin In a
short time. At least this is the way the
trustees of the Chamber of Commerce
have figured out, and they have kept close
track of the matter from the first. At
the regular -weekly session of the trus
tees yesterday It was stated that 250,003
needed for the work had been appropri
ated by Congress, and that It would like
ly be available in a short time.
The trustees feel greatly elated over
getting the appropriation when It looked
so hopeless. They did not, give up, how
ever, but kept right after the Oregon
delegation in Congress, and, at the last,
when It looked as If the matter had
passed beyond remedy, they began firing
dispatches 'and communications In to the
chairmen of the committees which had
the appropriations and the river and har
bor matters in hand. These communica
tions were supplemented by similar ones
from the towns of Oregon and Washing
ton interested in the Improvement of the
river and at the last moment the news
came that the appropriation had been
made.
Much credit, the trustees think. Is due
to the Oregon delegation in Congress.
Representative Tongue has written to the
Chamber of Commerce here telling some
thing of the efforts made in getting the
appropriation. He says in that letter,
which was read at yesterday's meeting,
that this was the only appropriation made
by the last Congress for river and har
bor improvements, where the work had
not previously been started.
President George Taylor, of the Cham
ber of Commerce, stated yesterday that
he understood that Captain Langfltt had
already made his recommendations to the
Chief Engineer In Washington, in which
he suggested that it was Important that
the work at the mouth of the Columbia
begin without delay. This, of course, will
only be repair work. The work of ex
tending the jetty cannot begin before
the next session of Congress and the
appropriation of sufficient money or a
part thereof to extend the Jetty three
miles further out. This will make It when
finished T& miles long, and good en
gineers contend that it will then Insure a
30-foot depth over the bar at low tide.
Want Better River Rates.
Tho citizens of Newberg have asked the
Chamber of Commerce to aid them In get
ting assurance of a low rate of transpor
tation on the Willamette on sugar beets.
Efforts are being made there to build a
sugar factory, and It all depends upon a
certain amount of acreage being pledged.
Some 600 or 700 acres are yet needed, and
these can only be secured by going some
l'ttle distance up and down the river. The
promoters have arranged for a rate with
the railroad company, but also want the
river rates. At yesterday's meeting of the
Chamber the following letter from Presi
dent Taylor was ordered sent to Clarence
Butt, who has been urging the Chamber to
take action on the matter:
"Referring to your conversation with
the writer, wo beg to Inform you that he,
together with Mr. Willis and Mr. Mears,
trustees of the Chamber of Commerce,
have been earnestly looking Into the mat
ter of transportation for beets on the
Elver. The O. R. & N. Co. assured us
that it would give every facility for for
warding the business, but could not make
any positive agreement at the present
time. "Captain A. B. Graham, of the Ore
gon City Transportation Company, gave
a "favorable answer. We have called on
Captain P. Bv Jones, at the Oak-street
wharf, with, a "view of getting him to
handle It in light-draft barges, and are
to hear from him later. We have also
called on Messrs, Hale & Kern, and on
Mr. Hale's return will take the matter
up with him.
"It has been suggested that sheds
might be built at convenient places along
the river, to which the beets could be de
livered and receipted for, and then If
the sugar factory or the company had
two or three light-draft barges Into
which the beets could be chuted from tho
shed, these could be towed to Newberg
at a very small expense; in fact, one of
tho companies has intimated that they
would tow the barges from points along
the river to Newberg for, say, $5 to 17.
"We are endeavoring to get some one to
say that they would make a contract to
freight this, but in that event they would
require a guarantee that they would re
ceive the quantity.
"One of the other difficulties we find is
that at that particular time of year the
water is very low and there Is a great
deal of business on the river. But we
think this can be overcome."
Other Communications.
A letter was read from J. I. RIggs, of
Josephine County, calling attention to the
sugar-pine belt of timber in Southern
Oregon. The writer says that the prob
lem now confronting them Is that of
jetting a railroad down Rogue River from
Ihe Southern Pacific line to the timber
belt.
The letter was ordered referred to the
Southern Pacific Company.
A communication from the Skagway
Ohamber of Commerce called attention
to the privilege Canada enjoyed In the
transportation of goods across Alaska In
bond without paying any duty. The Port
land Chamber decided that nothing could
be done Just now to remedy this, as ef
forts along that line had already been
made without success.
The regular meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce In July is to be turned into a
more interesting meeting than usual.
Some good speakers will be Invited to
entertain those who attend, and an effort
Is to be made to interest more of the
business men of Portland In the Chamber
af Commerce.
Those who think that body Is not doing
anything for the city should attend a
few meetings.
This month the Wide World magazine,
pf London and New York, prints an Il
lustrated article on "Scenes on the Co
lumbia"; the American Land and Title
Register, of Detroit, has some building
and real estate figures from Portland, and
the Coast Seamen's Journal, of San Fran
cisco, has an article on Portland as a
commercial emporium.
All of the facts and figures as well as
the pictures were obtained through the
Portland Chamber of Commerce.
I HOLDING BACK DIVIDENDS.
President Infertile Says the Roads
Are Justified.
LONDON. June 2C President M. E. In
galls. of tho Cleveland, Chicago & St.
Louis Railroad, who will return to the
United States on the White Star line
steamer Oceanic, sailing tomorrow, after
three months spent In Europe, said to
a representative of the Associated Press:
"I heard while in Paris that English
investors were sore over the failure of the
(Northern Pacific to pay an extra divi
dend, and that American railroad shares
seem suffering in consequence. Without
knowing the details of the Northern Pa.
clflc's action. I should judge it is the
'fault of investors and speculators rather
.than the roads. When I left the United
States In March I believe several rail
road stocks were retired to figures quite
unjustified by the earnings. To Judge
.that .everybody will get rich as a result
of this is rather rash. Judging from the
cable advices, there is much to Justify
conservative managements in not increas
ing dividends. Coal and wages have
-risen tremendously. This- is bound to
affect the net earnings, and Increased ex-
penses must be provided for without 'cal
culating too much on the prospect of good
business, which I sincerely believe exists.
I expect a ragged market and many fluc
tuations until after election, though I
do not believe values will be seriously
affected in. the long run." J
Lake Erie fc TCetten Dividend.
NEW YORK, June 26. The directors of
the Lake Erie & Western Company have
declared a dividend of 2 per cent on the
preferred stock, payable July 1C Divi
dends on this stock were suspended last
year. Previous to that time they had
been yearly, at the rate of 5 per cent,
since 1S33.
MINING STOCK EXCHANGE.
"Weelcly Letter' t "Way, Heajer A
Way.
Following is the first weekly market re
port of Wagy. Hengar &. Wagy, mining
stocks and mining investments, 218 and
Z1S Chamber of Commerce:
"Portland, June 25. With this, our ftrst
weekly letter on the Portland mining
stock market to our many friends and
clients who are Interested in the devel
opment of the wonderful resources of
Oregon, we desire to call your attention
to the Oregon Mining Stock Exchange,
an institution doing business in the audi
torium of the Chamber of Commerce
building, which is fostered and governed
by some of the leading people of this
city.
"This exchange was organized for the
purpose of Interesting foreign, as well as
local, capital, In the wonderfully rich
mines which are known to exist in the
State of Oregon. In this connection it
might be well to give a brief history of
the largest mining stock exchange on
this continent, and the benefit it has
been to the community In which it is
located.
"In 1E9G the Colorado Springs Mining
Stock Association opened Its doors to the
Investing public of the world. They start
ed with about a dozen members, as bro
kers, and about the same number of list
ed stocks in which to trade, and during
the first year 10,000,000 shares of mining
stocks were dealt in on the open board.
The number of shares traded In rapidly
Increased, until In 1893, with the member
ship increased to 125 and the listed securi
ties to about 200,375,09,528 shares of stock,
representing a cash value of $36,599,245,
changed hands among the different bro
kers on the exchange. We will make the
assertion, without fear of contradiction,
that there is not a business house or
firm In this city which, during the past
year, did a business of $30,500,000.
"This phenomenal increase in business
could only be accomplished by first dem
onstrating to the public that their cop
fidence and support would not be abused
when placed In the hands of the ex
change, and that any securities which
recefved the sanction of the exchange
should meet all the requirements of a
rigid examination.
"That the exchange has accomplished
all and more than they represented is
demonstrated by the wonderful volume
of business being dally transacted on
orders that come from three continents.
"Had it not been for the exchange it
would have taken a generation longer for
Cripple Creek to be as widely known as
it now is, and British capital would1have
been extremely slow In Investing in the
hidden wealth of the now famous camp.
Instead of Investing by the millions of
pounds, as they did when purchasing the
many mines which they now own; the
most famous of which are the Lillle and
Stratton's Independence the latter being
purchased from the owner about a year
ago for $11,000,000.
"The effect of the exchange upon the
community In which It is located can be
summed up very briefly: It has brought
Colorado Springs from a small town, de
pendent almost wholly for its support
upon health-seekers In the Winter and
tourists in the Summer, to a progressive,
metropolitan city of about 25,000 Inhab
itants, who own their own magnificent
private residences and public buildings;
numbering among her citizens upward
of 50 men who today are millionaires,
who a few years ago were practically
poor. Due to the business brought there
by the mining exchange, Its banks three
In number and with gross deposits of
about $10,000,000 send out one of the most
glowing reports of any city In the United
States, and today the business done there
on mining stocks alone contributes more
to Uncle Sam's war revenue than the
business of any other city of three times
Its size.
"If the people of Colorado Springs by
their earnest support of an exchange can
attract the financial acumen of the world
to Cripple Creek, with Its known mineral
area of less than 10 square miles, what
can the people of Portland do for the
mining Industry of the State of Oregon
by lending their moral and financial as
sistance to the Oregon Mining Stock Ex
change? "Mining, as you are aware, has been
reduced to, and now- Is, an exact science
and no longer the chimerical business of
a decade ago, when many so-called min
ing propositions were justly termed as
'wildcats.' It Is due to this fact, more
than any other, that foreign capital has
been Induced to Join hands with the
hardy mountaineer who has a reasonably
attractive prospect to present and devel
op the same Into a dividend-paying mine.
"That an institution of the class of the
Oregpn Mining Exchange meets the ap
proval and sanction of our people Is evi
denced by the fact that upwards of 200,
00 shares of mining stock passed between
the brokers during the first business
week, and also that many of the stocks
listed advanced In price under heavy buy
ing orders, a number of which came from
the East.
"Among the most active traders the
past week w.ero Helena, Helena No. 2 and
Oregon-Colorado.
"Helena opened the first of the week at
26c, and closed strong on Saturday at
26c bid, with sales of the week of about
40.000.
"Helena No. 2 opened at 3&c and grad
ually Increased, under buying orders of
nearly 100,000 to 44c bid on the close Sat
urday. There were a number of bids on
the floor Saturday of 4Vfcc for blocks of
50,000 shares of this stock, and no sellers.
"Without a single exception, the mar
ket on Saturday closed stronger than it
opened the first of the week.
"This Is certainly a most creditable
showing for an institution only one week
old. and demonstrates that the exchange
is receiving the approbation of our con
servative Investors.
"In our weekly letter we shall en
devor to keep the publl c thoroughly
and accurately informed on any and all
changing conditions of the market, and
shall always place our best services at
their command. We will cheerfully fur
nish a copy of our weekly letter to any
one desiring It."
Fomenting Chinese Hatred.
The Independent contains a few ex
tracts from the translation of a book cir
culated through China to an Incredible
extent to foment hatred against Euro
peans. The religion of the Europeans Is
one point of attack, but only because It
Is a part of the "foreign deviltry."
Churches and railroads, cotton mills and
scboolhouses, ministers of religion and
the ministers of foreign sovereigns, are
all indiscriminate objects of Chinese
hatred. Many of the statements about
foreigners made In this book, of which
a single Chinaman Is said to have paid
for the printing and circulation of SOO,
000 copies, arc so foul that they cannot
be reproduced or even intimated. One
less offensive, but in a sense more ter
rible. Is that Europeans have discovered
that from 100 pounds of Chinese lead they
can get eight pounds of silver. If they
can get Chinese eyes to mix with the
lead; the eyes of foreigners will not do;
a leading purpose of foreigners in China
Is to get .therfeyes of Chinamen -in .order
to prosecute their diabolical metallurgy.

The British ship Orealla, which made
such a long trip from New York" ta
Shanghai, atoned for her delay by making
a- very short stay in that port. She ar
rived June 4, discharged a full cargo of
oil, ballasted and sailed for Portland on
the 24th. From the appearance of tho
en route list, tho Orient is about the
only locality that is supplying Portland
with tonnage for early loading. Not to

port before September, and of these all
but two are coming from the Orient, The

Rlgel, from Shanghai, will be due In about
10 days. The Rickmer JUckmers and
Cedarbank have both sailed from Hong

XBW SACK ELEVATOR.
L&Bor-Savlng; Device Given a, Trial
at Alblna Yesterday.
Tho managers of all of the grain docks
in the city assembled at the Mutual
Warehouse Company's big dock In Alblna
yesterday afternoon to witness the work
ing of a sack elevator. The contrivance
was Invented by Eugeno Brown, of Col
fax, and has met with considerable favor
at some of the interior warehouses. It
Is a portable machine, and can be moved
to any part of the warehouse without
any trouble, and will lift sacks so they
can be piled 24 high with the same ease
that they are piled but -eight high. The
machine handled 10 sacks per minute
yesterday, and certainly saved the ex
penditure of a vast amount of labor In
getting sacks up in the air, and accord
ingly saving floor space. The power was
furnished yesterday by a one horse
power electric motor, but for the ele
vators In use In the Interior, where elec
tricity Is not obtainable, a gasoline en
gine Is used.
The warehousemen who witnessed tho
working of the machine yesterday were
well satisfied with it for use in country
warehouses and for handling big lots of
the same kind of wheat when there was
a jam on the docks, but questioned its
adaptability to their requirements at tide
water, where frequently half a dozen cars
of different grades of wheat for different
parties would need to be piled in sepa
rate places in the warehouses. Sovera
of the machines are now In use in the
Palouse country, and they are In high
favor there. i

UVELY DEMAND FOR STOCKS
Mere Tasa 100,000 Shares Sold at
Oregsa Minlnff Steele Exchange.
The evening call at the Oregon Mining
Btock Exchange last night resulted in the
sale' of about 100,000 shares of stock, three
new properties, from the three principal
mining districts of the state, receiving
the lion's share of the trading. The gal.
lc'rles were filled with women, who ap
peared to take a deep interest In the pro
ceedings of the dozen or more brokers,
who kept things lively on the floor.
The May Queen, In Josephine County,
was 'the heaviest seller, 29,000 shares of
It being disposed of- The other new prop
erties were the Goldstone, in Baker
County, and the Adams Mountain, in the
Bohemia district.
Bidding was frequently very lively, and
the crowd of men who stood outside the
rail, .many of them clients of the brokers
on the floor, were only less Interested
than the women In the 'gallery.
Sales have been increasing dally since
the exchange was opened, and all the
brokers report that business Is growing
at a very satisfactory rate. Tho interest
of Portland people in' Oregon mining
properties seems to be thoroughly awak
ened, and the managers of the exchange
are confident that it will become one of
Portland's most important institutions in
the very near future.
After the session adjourned tho visitors
Inspected the handsome rooms of the
Mine Owners' Club, in the rear of the
pit, and made many inquiries as to the
relative merits of the various properties
listed. Calls will be held every day here
after at 11:45 A. M

In the Justice Court.
In Justice Kraemer's Court yesterday
the Estes-Wood case was dismissed on
motion of Deputy District Attorney Pad
dock, there being no evidence that tho
llfo of Mary J. Wood was in danger from
Mrs. Estes.
The case against J. A. Inghram. brought
by Mrs. Danner, neighbors living on
East Washington street, occupied the
principal attention of the court. Inghram
was charged with maliciously breaking a
window In Mrs. Danner's residence by
striking It with a hammer. Both oartles
told their stories of their neighborly quar
rels, which have been In progress for
years over chickens, dogs, cats, alleys
ana wnat not and each one testified that
the other had used on these occasion
all the choice words of a swearer's vo
cabulary. The present difficulty arose
while Inghram was prowling around Mrs.
Danner's residence, as she asserts, med
dling with her fire ladder, which He
threw over her fence and broke. She re
taliated by pouring hot water on him.
Then came the broken window, the re
ported swear words, and later the suit.
Judge Kraemer has wisely taken tho case
under advisement until Monday.

Streets at Portland.
Justice Vreeland'a office, on East Mor
rison street, was filled with wheelmen
and some wheelwomen last night at the
meeting held under the auspices of the
Ea3t Side Cycle Association. W. W.
Bretherton. president, presided. Fred K.
McCarver, secretary, read the minutes of
the first meeting. The chairman then
called for the report of the committee on
cycle paths in Btreets, and the secretary
read the report, which was as follows:
Street Paths Favored.
"Your committee appointed at the last
meeting begs leave to report as follows:
"Resolved, That the bicycle tax for the
year 1300, should be wholly expended
within the city limits, except such sums
as may be actually needed to keep the
existing paths In good repair.
"We are of tne opinion that city paths
should bo built from the different sections
of the residence districts, as near to the
business sections as possible. On the
East Side, the paths should start (or
terminate) at the various bridges. The
committee has outlined a more compre
hensive plan, but would suggest that the
matter be deferred until after the elec
tion of members of the council of the
Multnomah Bicycle Taxpayers' Associa
tion, so that both bodies-, can work in
harmony."
On motion the report was adopted, and
the committee given more time in which
to carry out Its duties.
Favored nn Investigation.
Following the adoption of this report
the whole cycle-path construction ques
tion was discussed. John T. Whalley
opened the discussion by referring to the
objections that were being offered by
many to the payment of the tax. He said
that many were In the dark. They did
not understand where all the money col
lected last year had been expended, and
they had been led to believe that too
much had been paid out to deputies, and
not enough in actual construction. Mr.
Whalley said that If these matters were
cleared up and set before the people the
opposition to the tax might disappear. He
said that a committee of experts should
be appointed by the association who
should make a complete showing of how
every dollar had been expended, and
where expended. Their report should
show how many miles of paths had been
constructed, "and what the cost per mile
had been. Mr. Whalley contended that
If this were done, much of the objection
to the tax would disappear.
"W. G. Steel's Statement.
W. G. Steel made a highly Interesting
showing to the meeting. He said that
the Multnomah County Association had
taken hold of the whole question. He said
that the two new Commissioners, at
least, Mr. Mack and Mr. Showers, were
favorable to the construction of paths In
side the city, and now the next object
was to bring the Commissioners and the
City Council together In the matter of
street paths. Mr. Steel said that there
would be no difficulty on that point, but
the question of street cycle paths could
not be settled at once. It was very diffi
cult of solution. While there might not
be any objection to Investigations, the
main thing was to look out for future
expenditures, and see that they went
In the right direction. However, there
should be full Information afforded, and
the benefits from the paths set forth. Mr.
Steel also referred to the objections to the
tax by those who considered that they
were receiving no benefit from the paths.
He declared that the purpose now Is to
build paths Inside the city when It had
been determined where and how thev
were to be built.
General DIscninlon.
Remarks were made by E. B. McFar
land, favoring the Investigation by a com
mittee. If any good could come of It.
Charles Morgan said that one reason the
Commissioners had not built paths Inside
the city heretofore was that they had no
control of the streets.
One speaker called attention to the cycle
path on the Base Line road to Mount
Tabor and Montavilla, and said he knew
of one family who had saved $25 on car
fare alone since that path had been ex
pended. The same speaker remarked that
some people owning wheels were going
about claiming they favored the cycle tax,
but hated the collector like sin. It was
suggested to all such that they could get
rid of all the special collectors in Port
land at once by stepping Into the Sheriffs
office, but that as long as they did not
do this, the offensive collectors would be
around.
The main and only objection any one
offered- to the payment of the tax at the
meeting was that they did not wheel on
the paths, and that they did not know
whether all the money collected had been
properly applied In their construction.
President Bretherton made a long and
clear statement concerning the levying of
the tax, and said It was not possible to
make It absolutely equal, and that some
would only receive Indirect benefit and
others direct. So the discussion went on
until nearly every one present had had
something to say. The chairman said It
was a wide-open discussion, and every
one was free to express himself.
Moved to Investigate.
It was then moved and carried that the
chairman appoint a committee of three
to investigate the construction of cycle
paths of the past and ascertain what
money had been collected, and where It
had been expended. As no one present
wanted to undertake the work, Mr. Bre
therton took the matter under advise
ment. It was moved and carried that the
association Indorse E. B. McFarland as
Ninth Ward delegate to the council of
the Multnomah County Association, to be
voted for at the cycle election next Fri
day night.
The meeting then adjourned to meet
next Tuesday evening at Justice Vree
iand's office. A large number signed the
roll of membership.

WEEKLY WEATHER BULLETIN
High Temperature Prevailed la
Eastern Oregon Hay Damaged.
Following Is the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, climate and crop
bulletin of the Weather Bureau, Oregon
section, for tho week ending Monday,
June 25:
General Summary.
The week has been rainy and cloudy
In the Willamette Valley and Coast dis
trict, but In Southern and Eastern Ore
gon, although It has been unusually
cloudy, the rainfall was moderate and
very beneficial, especially to Spring grain
and pasturage. The contrast in tempera
ture between the eastern and western por
tions of the state has been quito marked.
In Eastern Oregon the warmest weather
of the season occurred, and the maximum,
or day, temperatures ranged between 76
and 9S deg., while In the western portion
of the state it has been much cooler, with
maximum temperatures varying between
C2 and 84 deg. The night, or minimum
temperatures were quite uniform, and
ranged between 56 and 64 deg. in both dis
tricts. Farm work has been retarded by the
rains, which Interfered mo3t with the
work of haying and twining of hop vines.
The Fall wheat In tho Willamette Val
ley continues In a generally poor condi
tion, and complaints are now made
that in addition to tho rust affecting it,
many fields arc badly Infested by the
grain aphis In Southern Oregon, tho Co
lumbia River Valley and the plateau re
gion. Fall wheat Is doing splendidly. The
warm weather has caused the heads to
fill rapidly, and It Is expected that cutting
will be general In a week or 10 days.
Tho rains have been beneficial to Spring
wheat, and that crop has made excellent
progress during the week.
Barley, oats, corn, potatoes and gardens
have also been benefited by the rains.
Winter oats are heading nicely, and bar
ley In many places is ripe and ready to
cut.
Hops continue to make rapid growth,
and although hop lice are numerous they
are not increasing very fast.
Quito a large amount of hay, principally
clover. In the Willamette Valley and
Coast district, recently cut and lying on
the ground, has been damaged by the
rains beyond recovery, but that remain
ing uncut is abundant, and the loss will
not be a serious one.
In these sections, cherries and berries
have also been damaged by the wet
weather, but In the remaining portions of
the state fruit Is doing nicely, and consid
erable thinning by hand has had to be
done.

the week has been very beneficial to gar

All hay recently cut and lying on the
ground has been practically ruined by the
rains. Cherries are split so badly that
they will hardly pass at the cannery; they
are also showing signs of brown rot.
