FIGHTING FOR FAIR SHARE
PORTLAND DEMANDS PART OF THE
ARMY TRANSPORTATION.
Chamber of Commerce Still Pushlns
the Matter of Getting Some of
the Transports.
But one question of much significance
came before the Chamber of Commerce
trustees at their regular weekly meeting
yesterday. This was securing some of
the army transports now being loaded on
the Pacific Coast. For the past week not
only President Taylor and the other trus
tees of the Chamber have been engaged
on the same work, but many members of
the organization not ordinarily, taking
active interest in routine business. There
was but one purpose expressed, but one
conclusion reached, and that was to test,
once for all, whether Portland can possi
bly secure a just and equitable share of
this Government business.. No new argu
ments were advanced by any one. Every
member of the board appreciated the" sit
uation. Every one was fully Informed
that transports were loading In San Fran
cisco and the Puget Sound In numbers.
Troops, horses and fodder are being
shipped from Seattle and Tacoma. Two
feed transports have recently been or
flered to load at Seattle, an animal trans
port has been ordered there, and another
takes away a large number of soldiers In
the very near future. These facts did
not have to be brought home to any, and
the question was asked: "Shall such in
justice continue Indefinitely?"
All the correspondence that has recent
ly passed between President Taylor and
General Beebe. on behalf of Portland, and
the War Department, was transmitted to
the members of the Oregon delegation.
Senators McBrlde and Simon were given
the copies, with the request that they
Interest the Representatives in an earnest
effort to obtain' for the state what she
deserves. All the necessary Information
of prices and quantities available f or-such
traffic as comes from Government sup
plies, will be furnished In absolutely au
thentic form. Then the "War Department
will be put on record finally. If Portland
Is to get any of the Government's patron
age, it is the desire of the Chamber of
Commerce to have the fact settled,' so
that every time a transport Is loaded it
will not be necessary to bring to bear all
the state's Influence to get one here.
A communication from one Russell
Palmer was read, asking for indorsement
of a project to deliver here lectures on
liquid air. The request was declined.
Herman F. Emmons, representing Por
cupine City, Alaska, wrote the Chamber,
asking for its co-operation in resisting
had relaxed her hold, and-a Jog on her
side of the road threw her out. The horse
was going at a gentle trot, so that the
accident cannot be blamed either upon
the1 driver or the horse. The road sem8
to be about the only thing at fault. Mrs.
Wright will remain for a few days at the
home of Mrs. Embree, Salmon, where
she Is redelving every care that kind
friends can give her, her hostess, Mrs.
Embree having been a professional nurse
before her marriage, and well known
throughout that section for her generous
hospitality and many acts of. kindness.
As soon as the patient's shoulder Is well
enouch to endure the bumps and Jolts
of the ride to Portland, she will return
to this city.

BASEBALL FOR CHARITY.
Railroad Men Against Drummers
Next Saturday on Multnomah Field.
Two notable figures are to take part
In the big game of ball to be played
Saturday at Multnomah Field between the
railroad passenger agents and the com
mercial travelers. They are no less than
General Summers and Mayor Howe.
Mayor Rowe has consented to toss the
first ball to open the game, and Gen
eral Summers will be on "the firing line"
In the capacity of umpire. No doubt a
bodyguard of the General's old soldiers
will be provided, for he appreciate that
his present position Involves more dan
ger than ever besets a qommander on
the battle-field. Governor Geer was also
invited to attend the game and perform
some function in connection therewith.
but answered the invitation by saying
business that could not be postponed
would prevent him from coming. In the
Invitations to General Summers and
Mayor Rowe, the worthy work .of the
Baby Home, to which the proceeds of the
game are to be devoted, was set forth,
and all "were urgently requested to per
form their part In fostering such an es
timable charity. The men participating
state that they have always contributed
to the Homes' support, and they now un
dertake the burlesque game to give fur
ther needed assistance.

Nominee "Who "Will Stand for Elec
tion "Will Then Be Voted Fori
The Coronation.
John F. Cordray, who has been charged
with the selection of the royal young
woman who will reign over the Portland
street fair and carnival In the capacity
of queen, has made all arrangements for
choosing her. "With a truly republican
contempt for the institutions of, mon
archy, Mr. Cordray has ignored the old
Idea of heredity, and will havehls regal
maiden chosen by the people, of the peo
ple and for the people. Tomorrow bal-
lot boxes will be placed In many stores,
and any one who has any particular l
choice as to a candidate for the throne
may express It by placing In the box a
ballot reading as follows, with name and
address plainly written: ,
"Mrs. (or Mlss)...
"(Address)
"Is nominated for candidate for the
office of queen of the Portland Street Fair
and Carnival."
The boxs will be opened Monday, July
20, and a copy made of all names found
In them. A letter will be sent to each
young woman whose name Is found In
any of the boxes. Inviting- her to become
a candidate for queen. There will be no
charge for the nominating ballots, and
the girl receiving one ballot will be as
much entitled to stand as she who re
ceives 100.
The ballot-boxes will be put out again
Thursday, August 2, for the election con
test Votes will be sold at 5 cents each.
The person receiving the highest number
of votes will be declared elected. Boxes
will be placed in the following stores:
Meier & Frank Co., Olds & King, Lip
man. "Wolfe Sz. Co.. Shetland's Confection
ery Store. Heller's Millinery Store. Wood

son's Restaurant. Portland Hotel office.
Chamber of Commerce Cigar Store; Wlck

The honor of having the crown of the
carnival placed on her temples will be
by no means an empty one to her who
receives it. A magnificent upright piano
has been donated by 'C. A. "Whale to be
presented to the queen, and it is now on
exhibition In Mr. "Whale's warerooms.
"While busy with the preparations for
holding the election, which Is by no
means an easy task, Mr. Cordray has not
lost sight of the fact that the coronation
ceremonies must be as elaborate and
complete In even detail as taste and
money can make them. It has been de
cided to -array both the king and queen

THROWN FROM A CARRIAGE
Sirs. Jennie E. "Wright, of Portland,
Sustains Painful Injuries.
Mrs. Jennie E. "Wright of Portland,
who has been taking an outing at Salmon,
On the road to Mount Hood, about 40
miles from here, met with an accident
that Just escaped being serious, a few
days ago. She was driving with friends
In a surrey, last Thursday, and was
thrown from the carriage. Fortunately
the carriage happened to be low, and the
horse gentle, stopping at the first word
of command, so, though she fell between
the wheels, they did not pass over her,
and the only Injury she received was a
sprained shoulder, which will lay her up
for a. week or thereabouts. The accident
occurred about four miles beyond Salmon,
over rather a smooth bit of road for that
section, most of the roads beyond Sandy
belng-wretchedly rough.
It Is supposed that owing to the im
proved condition of the road, Mrs. "Wright

of the railroad men, and Mcknight
Calef, McDonald, Ransom, Sparling and
Curran for the commercial travelers.
In Louis xrv costumes, and the robes J No. 7.
worn by both will be truly regal in their
magnificence. The coronation of the
queen, will be a ceremony worth coming
miles to see, and will imitate the coro
nation of the sovereigns of the tme rep
resented In every detail.
Meanwhile plans for the various arches
and buildings are going forward In the
offices of the architects, and those who
have seen them say that they are on a
scale of which the public little dreams.
The whole of Sixth street will be one
grand scene of magnificence and splen
dor, with Its triumphal arches, handsome
buildings, pavilions, pagodas and floating
flags and streamers. 9

How the Grain Is nulled, Cleaned
and Polished in Portland.
The three-st'ory brick building at the
northeast corner of Front and Davis
streets, formerly occupied by J. M. Mc-
Craken & Co., Is supposed by most peo
ple who pass It to be empty, as the doors
In front are closed and there are no signs
of life about the place. The building Is
occupied, however, and a large amount
of business Is done there In a quiet,
wholesale way. The occupants of the
building are a rice milling company, who
have In operation an extensive rice-hulling
or cleaning plant, the only one In
operation In the Northwest, having a ca
pacity for cleaning 400 tons of rice per
month.
Rice, as every one knows, has a husk
or hull, like barley, and when first
threshed out looks very little like the
polished, snowy grain used for cooking.
If Imported Into this country in an. un
hulled condition, the duty on rice Is 75
cents per cental. If imported after the
outside hull Is removed, but not further
cleaned, the duty Is VA cents per pound,
and when cleaned and- fit for cooking the
duty is '2 cents per pound.
There Is a large amount of rice cleaned
at this mill, the same being Imported
with the rough outside hull removed,
which is done in the fields where It is
raised and threshed in Japan. It will,
therefore, be seen that the company re
ceives the difference between VA and 2
cents duty for finishing the cleaning of
the rice, The rice Is received at the rear
end of the building, which accounts for
tho front part being closed so much of the
time.
The cleaning machinery occupies tho
second and third stories. The rice goes
first through a machine, which removes
the gray coating of the Inner hull which
covers it. It then passes thrpugh a sep
arating reel, which takes out all the bro
, ken kernels. These are sold to brewers.
Next It passes through a machine which
thoroughly cleanses It of all dust, and
then through an emery machine to scour
It, and lastly It Is run through a long
cylinder called a tumble reel, which pol
ishes It and turns out the shiny, snow
white grain ready to be sacked for sale,
or to appear In. puddings, plain boiled or
with curried chicken or mutton. The
quantity of rice used in the Northwest is
much larger than most people would Im
agine, and tho mill Is kept constantly
Dusy.
In connection with this subject, it may
be said that there are t our mills on Front
street for grinding grain into flour and
mush materials, and they are all pros
pering and their business is constantly
Increasing. As the best of wheat, oats,
etc. are raised in Oregon, it is only nat
ural to suppose that the best of oatmeal,
cracked wheat, and the numerous other
materials for mush are produced by these
mills, and that this Is the case Is shown,
by tho fact that the- local demand for
their products Is rapidly Increasing, and
they are growing In favor abroad, so that
Portland oatmeal, etc. Is now sold In car
load lots as far east as Salt Lake City.

The people on the Willow Creeks are
busy boring for artesian water, and not
without some degree of success. There
is quite a good flow near Bullard's ranch
on Dry Creek. On Coat's ranch on Lit
tle Willow Creek are two wells side by
side that have a good flow, but the
pressure is not great enough to raise
the water over 10 or 12 feet and to Irrigate
Mr. Coat's land It would have to flow
to a height of 16 feet, so he lets It flow
Into the creek for the benefit of his
neighbors below him. At Windle's
ranch Is a three-inch well that has suffi
clent flow to Irrigate five acres of land.
The writer tried to drop a pebble as
large as a prune seed Into theTwell, but
the flow was so strong that It was
thrown out. These wells on Little Wil
low are about 100 feet deep. The Ban
nister brothers were boring on Big Wil
low near their place and had the hole
over 800 feet in depth. They said they
were prepared to bore at least 1000 feet,
and to enlarge the hole to six inches In
diameter if they find a good flow of ar
tesian water. They propose to bore a
hole to artesian water.
