"Weather Delays Arrival of Transatlantic Steamers. NEW YORK, Nov. 20. Heavy winds and rough seas on the Atlantic are un doubtedly the cause of the delay of a fleet of Transatlantic liners due here from different European ports. Among the vessels are the North German Lloyd flyer. Kaiser WUhelm der Grosse, from Bremen. Southampton and Cherbourg; the Holland-American liner Rotterdam; the Red Star line steamer Kensington; the An- j chor line steamer Anchoria, from Glas gow and Movllle; the Atlantic Transport Company's steamer Marquette, from Lon don; the North German Lloyd's Mediter ranean liner Aller, from Genoa, Naples and Gibraltar, and the White Una steam er Oceanic, from Queeastown ORIENTAL LINE TwOvMammoth Steamships Chartered. NINE THOUSAND TONNERS O. R. & N. Co. Makes Good Its Promise. WILL OPERATE FOUR VESSELS Indrapura and Indravelll, Large, Modern-Built Craft, Will Pioneer the Fleet Heavy Business. The O. B, & N. has secured for the Oriental line out of Portland, two of the largest steamships which have yet been operated In the Pacific Coast trad to the far East. Negotiations have been under way for several months, but not until yesterday were the details per fected eo that public announcement of the names of the first of the liners could be, made. The vessels which have been secured are the British steamships In dravelli and Indrapura, and two other similar-sized ships are now being nego tiated for and will ba secured In time to take their place in the regular service. The Indrapura and the Indravelll are twins. Both were launohed at the yards of C. Connell & Co., at Glasgow, in 1897, and their dimensions are exactly the same. The only difference Is that the Indravelll has a cubic carrying capacity of 9700 tons, and the Indrapura of 96S3 tons. They are each 400 feet long, 49.2 feet beam, and 28.3 feet depth of hold, and of 4S99 tons gross tonnage. Their dead weight carrylpg capacity, which is slight ly smaller than the cubic carrying ca pacity, is 7500 tons of cargo, and 1200 tons of bunker coal. They are modern "built in every respect and are rated 100 Al in Lloyds.

They have bunker capacity for 13)0 tons of coal, but as all of this will not be needed on this route, some of the space will be utilized for freight. These big steamships will draw when fully loaded 25 feet of water, and the O. R. & N. Co. has secured them because the busi ness warranted the use of vessels of this size, and because thy had faith in the Port of Portland continuing the work of Improvement, which has been so effec tive In giving this city a fine channel to the sea. President Mohler left for the Bast Monday, and in discussing the mat ter -before leaving, said: "I have no apologies to offer for giv ing Portland tho kind of Oriental steam ship service which our new line will en able us to give the port. "Wo were hand icapped in a number of ways which pre sented us securing the steamers at an earlier date, but we did not care to dls- cuss the matter through the public press."

That tlere will be no difficulty in' securing plenty of freight for them Is assured bythe Im mense business that Is offering to the steamers which are now temporarily fill ing In, pending the establishment of the line. Two steamships have already left Portland lor the Orient this ihontb, a third Is In port loading, and a fourth is due Saturday, with at least tvfo others close at hand. Tet in spite of all of thH tonnage at Portland, shippers are com pelled to send flour to Tacoma and Se attle by rail, one firm shipping a EOO-ton lot this week, and andother firm 400 tons, space being unobtainable on any of the steamers leaving Portland. The same situation exists regarding In-bound freight. The steamship Monmouthshire, which is now en route to Portland, secured all of the cargo that could be stowed aboard of her, before she reached Yokohama on her voyage this way, and cdt' out the last port entirely, sailing direct from Kobe for Portland, notwithstanding that Bhe had heavy freight offerings at Yo kohama. " The skarpsno, which preceded her in Stevens' line, was also full to her capacity, and the Milos, which Is follow ing, will be Unable to handle all of the freight that is offering. No other port on the Pacific Coast can offer such in ducements in the way of outward car goes as is offered by Portland and for this reason the new line will have an. ad vantage which lines -from other coast ports do not possess.

IS THE FIRST IN EASTERN OREGON Ushers in an Era of Good Times Farmers' and Dairymen's Instl- ' tute Held in Connection. MILTON, Or., Nov. 20. There was a "coming-out party" here today for the new creamery, and Milton made a sort of a holiday of the occasion, because It marked the establishment of the first co- J. W. operatereameEasarmQregon., In. connection with the enterprise, a' farm ers' and dairyman's Institute was held. It will conclude its session tomorrow. Such interest was felt in the creamery and the Institute that the unusual sever ity of November cold, a stiff north breeze and four Inches of snow, did not keep neighboring farmers from attendance. The creamery is the pride of the town, which feels that It has pioneered an In dustry which promises for tho Columbia River Basin what it has performed for Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin. Its In stallation was proposed three months ago by Colonel R. C Judson, industrial agent of the O. R. & N. Co , who Induced a committee of citizens to visit Minnesota and Investigate the business. As to the result, let Professor "W. J. Splllman, pro fessor of agriculture of the Washington State Agricultural College and School of Science, speak. In answering tho ad dress, of welcome this morning, he said: "This Is the best-built and best-equipped creamery I have ever seen. It represents the finest machinery and hlgnest skill de veloped In the butter-making industry." Professor Splllman's unqualified pralsa came after he with other visitors had seen a churning Just before the institute opened. Among those who fathered the. cream ery, which Is strictly a home institution, are: N. A. Davis, manager of the Bank of Milton; O. R. Ballou, R. M. Dough erty, H. L. Frazler and William Nichols, all farmers, stockralsers and fruitmen. The cost of the concern, including lot and building, boiler and engine, the best, up-to-date machinery and appliances, was '$5000. Its chief merit oven the ordinary erawavy Ilea In tho "rlponlns" vat. TaJ is a contrivance) of'comparatively recent, date, for "ripening" cream; that Is to say, for putting It at the best temperature, and In the most favorable conditions for churning. Its action Is automatic, and consists of running the cream, drop by drop, over colls of pipe filled with water at the requisite temperature. The plant represents labor-saving feat ures brought to the ultimate point, and is operated by two men. Davis, who takes great interest in the enterprise, said: . "I believe the founding of the Institu tion portends a period of prosperly to this part of the country. It will enable many orchardlsts, who have found In the cul ture of fruit alone, smaller financial re sults than they had expected, to win not only a comfortable income, but also to maKo a saving each month under ordi nary circumstances. Our plan is to allow to each patron In proportion to the butter fat furnished, the gross proceeds of 'all sales, less the actual expense of running the creamery." Industrial Agent Judson says it will be BAILEY. for any other city or town on its fine which wishes to consider the matter. When at 10 A. M. the Institute met at the opera-house, Hon. E. L. Smith, of Hood River, president of the State Board of Horticulture, was elected president, and Professor H. T. French, professor of agriculture In the University of Idaho, Secretary. Governor Geer sent a message expressing regret that he could not at tend and proffering his best wlBhes. Pro fessor E. P. Greene, business manager of Columbia College, made an address of welcome and referred to Milton as a town that ever wjelcomed good things, and never permitted the bad. Professor Spill man responded, paying a tribute to the art of agriculture, and felicitating Milton on the establishment of of such an Im portant enterprise under such favorable auspices. C. L. Smith, of Minnesota, who for 20 years has been engaged In creameries and has served as teacher, writer and state ofilcer, spoke on "What Dairying Has Done for Minnesota." He devoted him self to facts and eschewed theories. He declared that the co-operative creamery did three things brought about better roads, forced farmers and dairymen who met every day at the creamery to confer among themselves concerning their com mon purpose, always with good results, and created Independence by putting Into men's hands every month the cash for store bills. He emphasized the 'fact that the skim milk from one good cow will feed eight pigs and a calf. He asserted, as an uncontrovertible fact, that $420 a J year received in cash in monthly pay ments brought more comfort, and went further In an average American family than 600 received In a lump after harvest. Concluding, he summed up what dairy ing had done in Minnesota. In part, he sold: 'It brought us out of conditions unsat isfactory Into conditions wholly satisfac tory, from poverty to prosperity, from being borrowers of money to being lend ers of money; it gave us better homes, better schools, better churches, better roads, better social and moral con ditions." , In the afternoon Professor Splllman spoke of "Dairy Cattle and Their Food." Ho told In a practical way and in simple language, the good points to bo observed in selecting a dairy cow. and explained clearly the difference between food that made beef and that which made milk. Professor French told how to build a silo. He had blackboard illustrations, which, taken with hls-lucld explanations, conveyed information that will enable those who heard him to build the best form of silos. Jn the evening J. W. Bailey, State Dairy and Food Commissioner, spoke on "Dairy ing in Oregon." He stated that, whereas one year ago, the Willamette Valley was Importing butter, it is now exporting. Since January 1 the exportations had ex ceeded '1,000,000 pounds, sold at an average of 20 cents a pound. He had every rea son to believe that the Willamette Valley would .furnish most of the butter which In future will go to Alaska. The South ern Pacific Company had taken hold of the creamery proposition in earnest, and pursued a broad and liberal policy toward the dairying industry. C. D. Smith spoke again, this time on "Homemaklng." He counseled the farmer to produce everything he could, soil and climate considered, that will add to the comfort and happiness of his family. He should employ sunshine, grass, trees and flowers to make his home beautiful and attractive. As far as his means shall al low he should measure the labor cost of everything sold from the farm in order to determine whether he can buy back comforts for the home sufilcient to repay the cost of production. Mr. Smith said if he bad the making Of marriage laws, he Bhould Insist on refusing a license for a young; woman until she bad learned to bo a good cookv and f orva young man un til ho had demonstrated his ability to jvldthseoeisiaecrfJtor&X8X3ilr.J0()tC00 eurplu. x CHANGE IN WAR M Secretary Gage Suggests Re duction of $30,000,000: MEETING OF HOUSE COMMITTEE, Tariff on Tea Will Not Be Removed- Conveyance and Proprietary Stamps Eliminated. WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. The Repub llean members of the ways and means committee met today to consider admeas ure for the reduction cf the war revenue tax. Thb most important action taken was a decision not to remove the tax of 10 cents a pound on tea. The committer will not take up or disturb the tarlffou imports, as the members claim It would open up the whole subject of tariff re vision. The committee will not grant any hear ings while framing the bill, as full hear ings were given in the last session of Congress, and since then briefs and state ments of various Interests have been re ceived. Persons who are Interested can file briefs or statements with the com mittee. Secretary Gage and Commissioner Wil son, of tho Internal Revenue Bureau, were before the committee for some time during the afternoon. Tho Secretary told the committee that In his opinion there might be a reduction In revenue of $30, 000,000. The war revenue act now raises about $100,000,000. Commissioner Wilson went over the schedules with the mem bers of the committee, and both he ana Secretary Gage were questioned as to "Where reductions could be made to tho best advantage from the Treasury view point. Much of the discussion was centered In schedule B. which taxes medicinal and proprietary articles and preparations, per fumery, cosmetics, chewing gum, wines, etc There was also discussion of tho stamp taxes. The discussion Indicated that the committee favored quite a -change In this feature of the law, ana reductions wherever possible. The committee also desires to eliminate the taxes on conveyances, of which thero has been a great deal of complaint. , It can be stated that It will be the aim. of the committee to abolish the most bur densome taxes and to grant relief from stamp taxes as far as possible. The committee, late In the day, called on the President to obtain his views on the proposed reduction. The committee's conference with the President lasted less than an hour. The committee and the President agreed on the desirability of tho reduction or aboli tion of the war taxes where they hava proved annoying and Irritating to Inter ests Involved and have not produced much revenue The President believes the sur plus In the Treasury Is accumulating too rapidly, and that conservative reductions may be made safely or the taxes entirely removed In some Instances. The Repub lican" "members believe they will bo abta After there has been a general Inter change of opinion on the proposed reduc tion. It Is quite likely that a subcommit tee will be" appointed to draft a measure. It Is not believed that this can be pre pared and ready for the full committee until the session begins. The measure, after it is agreed upon by the Repub licans, will be submitted to the Democrat of the committee. The suggestion has been made that thn oleomargarine bill, now on the House cal endar, and made a special order for De cember 6, might be made a part of tha war revenuo reduction bill. Representa tive Tawney, the father of the oleomar garine bill, when asked about this, said that the oleomargarine bill will be passed by the House early in the session, so thai an opportunity will be given to ascertain if there is a disposition to defeat tho meauro by any unusual delay. In such case, he Intimated the oleomargarine bill might be made a part of the revenue re duction bill in the Senate. QUESTION OF REAPPOn.TIONME?nV "So Effort Will Be Made io Decrease Sonthern Representation. WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. Representa tive Hopkins, of Illinois, chairman of tho House committee on census, which com mittee will have charge of the legislation affecting the apportionment of the House, today expressed the opinion that thero would be no decided effort in the next session of Congress to decrease the Con gresslonal representation of the South ern States because of the disfranchise ment of negroes. He said that in all probability the subject would be dia cussed, but he thought that, upon tho whole, the committee would favor tho plan of basing representation upon tho number of Inhabitants. Discussing th general subject of reapportionment, Mr. Hopkins said: " "The committee on census will meet the first week of the session to frame a bill providing for reapportionment. I think that a proposition will be adopted which, will Increase the present membership of the House. It has been suggested that we authorize one member for every 193,08 Inhabitants. That seems to be the ratio that is in general favor among member of the committee. This proposition would entail an Increased membership of from 15 to 20 members. "According to calculations I have made, this reapportionment would add members to the House from New Tork and Illinois, and perhaps other states. States like Ne braska and Maine might lose members hby the proposed law. Some of the South ern States might also suner rronr n the proposition agreed upon, although to what extent cannot now be ascertained." Simon Gets Carter's Seat. WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. In the next Congress, Senator Simon Is to have a very valuable seat, one In tho front row to the left ofthe presiding officer, which has been occupied by Senator Carter for nearly four years. Simon guessed soma, time ago that Carter would not be re turned, and filed claim on the seat, which will be his after March 4. It is an Inter esting coincidence that one of the fltst acts of Senator Simon in the Senate was to call Carter down for unjust criticism of Mr. Corbett in connection with tha last Senatorial contest in Oregon. Trest Companies Consolidate. NEW YORK, Nov. 20. Tho trustees ot the Atlantic Trust Company and the di rectors of the Bankers' TrusJ Company, at separate meetings, today decided- to consolidate under the title and charter of the Atlantic Trust Company. Tho con-, solldation will become operative as soon as the stockholders of both companies ratify the action of tho directors. Tho Atlantic Trust Company was organized nearly 15 years ago, and it has at this time a capital of $15,000,000 and 1600,009 surplus. The Bankers' Trust Company was. formed a little more than a year ago. with a paid-up capital, of .599,000 a4
