GERTRUD IS SAFE
Damaged Grain Ship Reached
San Francisco Yesterday,
INJURED DURING HEAVY GALE
"Was 150 Miles "West of the Colombia
River When Accident Happened
Work of Pnsret Sound ShanK-
linlcrw Jlnrlnc Xote.
SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 12. The Ger
man ship" Gertrud, concerning the safety
of which grave fears have been ex
pressed by Northern shipping men, put
Into this port this afternoon for repairs.
The Gertrud was bound from Astoria to
Queenstown with a cargo of wheat. She
left Portland November 22, and salted
from Antoria November 27, with a full
crew. Her captain reported this after
noon that December 2. when 150 miles
west southwest of Astoria, the ship en
countered a heavy sea and a strong
southerly gale. It was soon discovered
that the ship was leaking, and had 12
Inches of water, in her hold. After re
moving some of the cargo it was found
that the leak was through an open port
hole on the starboard side.
(The above shows on what a small
groundwork of fact, the Tacoma Ledger
and the Seattle Times built up a malicious
lie about the Columbia River. The Ger
trud had been at sea Ave days before she
encountered the storm which caused a
leak around one of her ports. The Ger
trud was cleared from Portland, Novem
ber 22. and sailed from the Columbia
River, November 27. She was drawing
21 feet 5 inches of water, when she
crossed out, and the fact that the
steamship Universe, drawing nearly a
foot more than the Gertrud, went out
at the same time without the slightest
difficulty, showed how ridiculous were the
Puget Sound reports that she had struck
the bar in crossing out. As a matter of
fact, the bar was so smooth the day the
Gertrud passed out, that a 28-foot ship
could have crossed out without the slight
est danger of touching.
While the accident to the Gertrud is
something out of the ordinary with modern-built
vessels, it Is by no means un
usual with ships of her class. She was
built about 25 years ago, and at that
time nearly all of the vessels trading out
of Calcutta and other Jute ports were
provided wjth loading ports either for
ward or aft. It is supposed that in the
case of the Gertrud, the port was not se
curely closed, and the battering of the
heavy sea which she encountered caused
it to give way and let in a considerable
amount of water. The Gertrud was dis
patched by the Portland Grain Company
and carried nearly 100,000 bushels of
wheat. As the ports on the vessel were
well up toward the water-line, it is
thought that considerable cargo was dam
aged while the water was trickfing down
into the hold A similar accident hap
pened to cne of last season's fleet, the
Ampnltrite. which put Into Flaval and
was obliged to discharge nearly all of her
cargo before repairs could be made.)
WHEUE SHAXGHAIEHS THRIVE.
Sailor Aluixex on Pncct Sound Worse
Tlutn In Any Other Port.
The Puget Sound papers have always
had considerable to say about sailor
abuses on the Columbia River, and now
that there Is a scrap on between the
British Columbia shippers and the Amer
ican shipowners, tome of the work of
the Puget Sound boarding-house men is
coming to light. The Victoria Colonist
in comparing the situation on the Cana
dian side with" that which exists at the
Sound ports, says:
"On the other side of the line, as soon
as a ship reaches a port, the runner
goes on board the ship and takes all
the men he can get. There Is no com
plaint, and even If there was, it would
not go far, for all Interests work hand-in-glove
with each other.
"On the United States side shang
haiing Is still practiced, and many a
crew goes out in which there are scarce
ly three in the 13 or 14 men who are
sailors. The captain of the ship J. B.
Thomas said that on his last voyage from
the Sound, when he left Port Townsend
with his crew, he found but three in his
crew of 13 who were sailors. The ma
jority were hobos.
"The captain of the Chilean bark
Ellsa, when here a week or so ago. told
a story of a crew that had been shang
haied on his vessel on the voyage to
Chile, from which he had Just returned.
The ship had hardly got out to the
Cape when three of his crew came to
him with picks and shovels, which had
been given them when they went on
board, and asked the captain when the
ship was. expected to reach Cape Nome.
They had been shanghaied and told that
they were going to Cape Nome, the
picks and shovels having been given
them to keep up the deception. It took
them three days to realize that they
were sailors and were part of the crew
manning a lumber ship bound to Chile.
Thus a sailor's boarding-housekeeper at
Port Townsend had earned his blood
money."
GERTRUD STRUCK NO BOTTOM.
rntiscd From Columbia Withont Min
im p Vens el in Poor Condition.
ASTORIA, Dec. 12. Captain James Tat
ton. the bar pilot, who Is now port cap
tain, was in charge of the German bark
Gotrud when she went to sea Tuesday,
November 27. with a cargo of grain for
Europe. He remembers the circumstances
very well of her getting under way. In
speainng of it, this afternoon, he said:
"When I went on board the Gertrud to
take her out. I noticed that she was an
old iron vessel in poor condition, and mv
attertion was attracted to her forward
bulwarks, that had rusted until you could
see through them. We had considerable
trouble in getting her anchor up, as the
windlass was nn antiquated concern, and
it slipped nearly as much cable as it
brought up. It was either the second
mate or the carpenter who had charge
of doing thir. and he had a tackle rigged
to take up the slack of the cable to help
the windlass. I was on the topgallant
forecastle with him. and remarked: 'This
Is an aid tub. I can see through her bul
warks.' He replied: I wish I wa. well
out of her. but I guess her hull Is all
right. When the anchor was up. the tu&
Escort took hold of the vessel and towed
her over the bar. It was smooth, with
out a swell, and we -went out almost
abreast of the steamship Universe. The
Gertrud did not strike bottom, nor was
tiere anv thought or danger of such a
thing. When wo got well outside the tug
picked up her hawser and came along
side and took me.
"Tne captain of the bark shook my haijd
most cordially in bidding me good-bye,
and there was no reason to he Hove at
that time but that everything was all
right on board and that -she vould make
a safe passage to Europe."
The Gertrude arrived in the Columbia
Wednesday. October 31. and was t-rouRht
in by Pilot Harry Matthews. She was
from Nagasaki, and" had had a very se
vere passage jR earning across the Pacific.
Friday,. October 19, the day when the ba
rometer was so low around the mouth of i
the Columbia, she experienced similar j
con.'tions and passed through a terrific
cale. Seas broke over her constantly. I
and jrie smashed in her cabn skylight,
flooded the cabin, destroying all the fur
niture and ruining nearly all the stores.
At the same time, the main upper topsail
yard was broken from its fastenings ana
fell on the lower topsail yard, where it
was lashed bsfore It could fall to the
deck When she came no report of her
leaking was made here.
FOUND A GOOD CHANNEL.
Mnskoka, DrnvrliiR: Nearly 23 Feet,
Gogh to Astoria in 28 Ho urn.
The British bark Muskoka, which left
Portland at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon
drawing 22 feet S inches of water, ar
rived down at Astoria shortly after 6
o'clock last evening. Her time down the
river, including anchorage over night
accordingly being about 2S hours. The
river is still at a very low stage, and
the quick passage of the Muskoka la an
other evidence of the good work that has
been done. The .Muskoka is a very fast
ship and is all ready for sea. and it is to
be hoped that it will take her no longer
to get from Astoria to sea, than it has
taken her to make the run down the
river. The only delays that have been
experienced by shipping this season, have
been between Astoria and the mouth of
the river, but with the jetty work again
in progress, it will not be long before
there will be no more delays on that end
of the line than now occur In the river.
Three Cargoes Cleared.
The British ship Dunsyre and the
French bark MUllnet, mentioned in yes
terday's paper as completing their car
goes, will leave down the river this
morning, and the Ardencralg will follow
tomorrow morning. The Dunsyre carries
the largest cargo of the trio. She was
dispatched by G. W. McNear and has
aboard 127,513 bushels of wheat, valued
at $67,552. The Ardencralg. dispatched by
the Portland Grain Company, has 11G1C2
bushels of wheat, valued at $67,200. The
French bark General Mellinet, dispatched
by A. Berg, has 92.S29 bushels of wheat,
valued at S5L200. These cargoes, with that
of the Muskoka, which cleared the day
previous, make a total" of 465.C0S bushels
cleared within 4S hours.
Marine Note.
A scarcity of vessels for lumber ship
ments prevails on the Sound.
The Chlng Wo failed to put In her ap
pearance at Astoria yesterday, but will
probably be on hand today.
The German ships C. H. Watjen and
WHkommen arrived up yesterday after
noon in tow of the steamer Ocklahama.
Captain J. A. Brown Is over at South
Bend looking at the Poltalloch. On his
return there will be an opportunity to
secure some expert opinion, as to how
she can be floated, or why she cannot.
All of the stevedores and longshore
men In Brown & McCnbe's employ, laid
off yesterday afternoon to attend the
funeral of Frank Mullan. a stevedoring
foreman, well known on the Portland
water-front for the past 20 j'ears.
The new passenger steamer that is be
ing built In the shipyards of the Bell-Nelson
Mill Company, at Everett, is well un
der way. The company Is building a
barkentine. the dimensions of which will,
be: Length of keel. 204 feet, beam, 40
feet. The fourmasted schooner that Is be
ing built at the Everett shipyards, owned
-by C. G. White, Is the largest wooden ves
sel ever built at that city. Mr. White has
let a contract for driving the piles for his
new shipyard adjoining the present one,
and as soon as it Is ready will lay the keel
for the second four-masted schooner. Both
yards will give employment to about 100
men.

DeclMlnn on Illinois Anti-Trust La.iv.
, CHICAGO. Dec 12. By a decision of
Judges Tuley, Dunne and Waterman, of
the Circuit Court, today, section 1 of the
mti-trust law of Illinois, which defines
what constitutes a trast or combination
in restraint of trade, is declared un-
constitutional. Other sections of the
law, and especially those which
compel corporations to file affi
davits annually with the Secretary of
Stito that they are in no way connected
, with trusts or illegal combinations, and
I providing for a fine of M in case of re
fusal to file such affidavit, are sustained
by the court. Cases against over S00 Illi
nois corporitlons which have refused to
file affidavits with the Secretary of State
are affected by today's decision of the
court. The court, in rendering Its de-
, cision. overruled the demurrers of the de
fendants and held the anti-trust laws
1 valid in the point at Issue. The decision
I of the court in respect to section 1. how
ever, is regirded by the attorneys for
the defense. as a distinct victory for the
corporations, and is looked upon as nul
lifying the anti-trust law of the state
in its most vital part.

IT IS RAPIDLY GOING UP
VALUE OF OUR EXPORT TRADE
WITH ISLAND COUNTRIES.
Will Be JplO,000.OOO More This Year
Than Ever Before Great Ckt
Gain In Porto Rico.
WASHINGTON. Dec 12. Exports from
the United States to Cuba. Porto Rico,
and the Philippine. Hawaiian and Sa
moan Islands will aggregate 550,000,000 in
the year 1900, against 541,000 COO in 1S99.
519,000.000 in 1S9S. and 517.000,000 in 1S97.
This enormous growth is shared by each
of the islands named but Is especially
apparent in the case of Porto Rico, to
which the exports In the year 1900. un
der the new Porto Rican act, will show
an Increase of about 50 per cent, as com
pared with last year, and 100 per cent as
compared with preceding years.
The above figures are necessarily esti
mates so far as they relate to November
and December of the present year, but
a study of the actual figures of the pre
ceding months of 1900 and the correspond
ing months of 1S99 and 1S9S, justifies an
estimate which brings the exports to
Porto Rico in the calendar year 1900 up
to 53.400.000'. to Cuba. 526.0W.0eO: to the
Philippines. 53,:v0,000; to the Hawaiian
Islands; 513,000.000. and to the Samoan
Islands and Guam, 5200 000, making the
grand total of 530.100 0 of exports to
these Islands In 1900, compared with 541.
5S1.0S4 in 1E99. 519.171,342 in 1SSS, and 516.
922.303 In 1E97. In every case our ex
ports to these islands in the year 1DQO
will exceed those in preceding years. To.
Cuba the exports of the year will be
double the average annual exports to that
Island, except during the fiscal years 192,
1S93. and 1S94. when the reciprocity treaty
with Spain largely increased our sales
to that island. To Porto Rico the ex
ports of the year win be double those
of any preceding year, except 1SS9, and
will exceed that year by 50 per cent. To
the Hawaiian Islands, estimating figures
of the closing months of the year upon,
those of the earlier months and other
obtainable data, the exports of the year
are more than double those of any pre
ceding year except 1S99. To the Philip
pines the figures for 1900 will be double
those of 1S99 and more than 10 times the
highest figure in any earlier year. To the
Samoan Islands the total will be double
that of any preceding year. Comparing
our exports to the Islands above men
tioned with those in the great reciprocity
year 1S93, when our exports to Cuba
were double those of years immediately
preceding the reciprocity act. It will be
seen that our total In 1900 greatly ex.
ceeds that of the greatest of the recip
rocity years. The total exports to Cuba,
Porto Rico, and the Hawaiian and Phil
ippine Islands in 1S93 were 52S 094.017, and,
as above Indicated, will In 1900 amount to
550.000.000 in round terms.
The following table shows the total
exports from the United States to Cuba.
Porto Rico, and the Hawaiian, Philip
pine and Samoan Islands in each year
since 1897, the figures for November and
December, 1900, being estimated:
1S97 S1C.922.C03
1595 13.171.312
1S99 41.5S1.0S4
1EO0, estimated 50.100.0CO
The following table shows the imports
from, and exports to Porto Rico In each
year beginning with 1S94. It will be seen
that the exports to the island have
enormously increased In 1900. as compared
with any . preceding year, and especially
with the years preceding 1S99, the In
crease being 50 per cent, as compared
with 1E99, and more than 100 per cent, as
compared with the average year prior to
that time.

THREE VALLEY COUNTY SEATS
Why Salem, Albany and Engene
Shove Poorly In the Ccnuus.
Editor Whitney, of the Albany Herald,
who was at the Perkins yesterday, said
the late census had done his town an
apparent injustice, and gave Albany
credit for about 2000 less than her due.
"The reason of this," he said, "is that
Albany's census In 1SS0 figured suburbs
and all, while In 1900 the suburbs were
excluded and only those living within the
corporate limits credited to the city. This
is what is the matter with the census of
Salem and Eugene, also, and their figures
show a reduction instead of an increase.
In Salem alone the penitentiary and
asylum would have counted 2W0 In her
favjr, but these were excluded this
time.
"People like to live In town, but they
don't like to pay town taxes," Mr. Whit
ney said, "and so there are a great many
people living in Albany, Salem and Eu
gene who will not permit the corporation
lines to take them in. Salem's suburban
population Is particularly large In pro
portion to those living strictly within
the city limits, and if these were ac
credited to the city her population would
figure up between 7000 and S0WL Albany's
population is fully 5030. though the recent
census sives her but 3149.
"But taxes are not high enough In Al
bany to scare anybody." Mr. Whitney
continued, "as state, county, school and
city tax. a'l combined, figures up only
21 mills on a moderate assessed valu
ation. Outside the city the levy is 13&
mills, and Linn County is thus keeping
her name up as one of the lightest taxed
counties in Oregon. The size of the
county, perhaps, ha.i something to do with
the light tax, as there is considerable
property to draw on for county expenses.
We are out of debt and can pay cash for
all the county needs and have no out
standing warrants to pay interest on.
"The light taxation also tends to hold
the county together," Mr. Whitney
thought, "as property-owners fear thtr
expenses which new counties would cre
ate in supporting new sets of officers,
etc Years ago there used to be move
ments toward cutting off new counties
from Linn's southerly side, but these
have all been abandoned now." He does
not look for any subdivision of his county
for a. long time to come, or at least so
long a& taxation is kept down to Its pres
ent reasonable limit.
Mny Abolish Rnilrond Ticket.
Railroad tickets may become relics of
the pa!t, says the Chicago Record. A
movement Is said to have been started
among several of the big railroads of the
l East and Central West to work out a
plan whereby the tickets may be abol
ished entirely and the train conductors
made the gatherers of all passenger reve
nue. It is estimated that every year
the railroads of the Nation spend $50,000,
(M In Older to save 5C0.0C0. The cost of
printing tickets on the so-called safety
paper has come to be one of the most
important items of expense. Large sums
of money are spent by every road In
protecting its tickets from manipulation
by scalpers, but with little Success. Tne
roads spend the millions yearly to keep
the tickets out of the hands of the con
ductors. Even with all the precautions
"spoti.ers" and other preventives un
scrupulous conductors find ways for per
sonal gain.

Railroad men who have traveled

obeyed.
