THE MOANING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, MARCH 1, 1901.
FEBRUARY EXPORTS
Wheat and Flour Shipments
Over 1,500,000 Bushels.
WILHELMINA'S RECORD CARGO
Carries 214,000 Buishcls of Wheat
and Drawn 1!5 Feet oC Water
Skarpsno and Buckingham
Leave the Kivcr.
February -wheat exports from Portland
were over 1,000,000 bushels,' and flour ship
ments to the Orient, South America and
San Francisco were sufficiently large to
bring the total for the month (flour in
cluded) up to 1,570,406 bushels. While this
Is the largest amount that has been
fchipped in any corresponding month since
1S9S, the figures are much smaller than
they would have been had it not been
for the unusual delays experienced by
ships bound for this port. There are at
least three ships now loading In port
which should have been here over a
month earlier, and figured in the Feb
ruary fleet, and there are three others
which missed their charters, by failure
to arrive prior to February 28. While
Portland ships were delayed, those which
were chartered for Puget Sound loading
seemed to get around much better, and
the February exports from the Sound
were very close to the record.
Local exporters are pretty well supplied
for March loading, if the ships that are
due put In an appearance; but from
present Indications we are going to be
short on tonnage for flour, as the first
vessel of the O. R. & N. line will hardly
get here in time to clear in March. The
Wilhelmina was the last vessel of the
February fleet to clear, making a total of
S3 ships which have cleared from Port
land since the opening of the season.
THE GUARDSMAN'S NEGLIGENCE.
LifesaverM Were Sot "Vigilant "When
Rio AVn Wrecked.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2S. Captain
Hodgson, of the Fort Point Lifesaving
Station, notified Major Blakeley, superin
tendent of the Lifesaving Service, this
morning, that Mark Ellingson, the guards
man who was on duty in the lookout
tower the morning the steamer Rio de
Janeiro was wrecked, had confessed to
him that he heard the Rlo's signals of
distress, but paid no particular attention
to them, and neglected to arouse the sta
tion. Captain Hodgson Immediately sus
pended Ellingson.
This afternoon Ellingson appeared at
the office of Major Blakeley and denied
emphatically that he had made the con
fession related by Captain Hodgson. He
made his denial in the presence of Cap
tain Hodgson, who very positively reas
serted that Ellingson this morning had
made a clean breast of negligence. Ell
ingson maintained that he heard only two
short signals, possibly of perhaps 10 sec
onds duration, and that he had attached
no Importance to them, as they were not
long blasts. The matter will be Investi
gated by the proper authorities.
ARE OUTWARD BOUND.
Steamers Skarpsno and Buckingham
Grossed Out to Sea Ycwterdny.
The Oriental liners Skarpsno and Buck
ingham crossed out from Astoria at noon
yesterday. There has been a heavy bank
of fog hanging over the mouth of the
river for the past three days, and the
steamers sneaked out without being re
ported from the cape until several hours
after they ad disappeared. The Buck
ingham goes round to Tacoma to take
aboard some overland freight. In addi
tion to her flour cargo from this port.
Of course Tacoma could never fill out a
cargo like that which Portland export
ers placed on the Strathgyle, which came
around to Portland because she was un
able to secure a cargo on the Sound, but
the fact that the steamer is going around
from the Columbia Is giving the news
papers in the City of Destiny an excuse
for some typical Tacoma "guff."
Turkey May Ante.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 28. Charles H.
Cramps, head of the Cramp Shipbuilding
firm denies the report from Constantino
ple to the effect that tnc contract for a
cruiser for the Turkish Government has
been annulled because of the failure of
the Porte to pay the first installment.
BIr. Cramp, said that the first payment
was not due until March 1, and that, con
sequently, the report is without founda
tion. Muit Give Bonds.
PORT TOWNSEND. Wash., Feb. 28.
Collector Huestls has received instructions

restrictions as vessels sailing to remote
points of Alaska, and will be required to

miles of any port created by law will have

Salary Law Unconstitutional.
NEW YORK, Feb. 2S. More than $30,000,
000 may be saved to this city by a de
cision of the Court of Appeals in the case
of Contractor William J. Rogers, who re
fused to pay the prevailing rate of wages.
As interpreted by municipal experts, this
decision means not only that the pre
vailing rate of wages fixed by law has
received its death blow, but that all acts
forcing the city to pay Its employes pre
scribed salaries are unconstitutional.
The question has also been raised that
this decision affects the constitutionality
of the recent police laws, which abolish
the old board under which Commissioner
Murphy was named last week. If
It is held that the decision means
that the Legislature cannoj fix salaries
of city employes, the Davis law. Increas
ing salaries of teachers $5,000,000, will be
void. It will affect also the salaries of
all policemen, firemen and about half the
employes In the department of street
cleaning. There was consternation In all
city departments when the text of the
edict from the Court of Appeals became
known. Controller Coler said:
"It Is the most sweeping decision that
has ever been rendered in regard to the
city."

occasion, which will be on an exception
ally fine scale.
The reviewing stands which have been
elected at intervals along Pennsylvania
avenue from the foot of the capltol
grounds to Seventeenth street have been'
uniform and unique in design, and the
general decorations of the city, especially
along the line of the parade, will be
more lavish and artistic In character than
formerly. Although Pennsylvania avenue
will be Illuminated during the three nights
of March 4, 5 and 6. as rarely before, a
special feature will be made of that part
extending from Fifteenth to Seventeenth
street, on the north front of the White
House grounds. This section has been
designated the "Court of Honor," and
many special features of illumination will
be Introduced. The circular drive in front
of the Executive Mansion is Included In
this grand scheme of Illumination, and a
large force of workmen has been engaged
for two weeks or more in the erection of
pillars of classic shape at Intervals along
this drive. From these pillars novel ef
fects In electric Illumination will be dis
played, and It Is expected that the Court
of Honor will surpass In beauty any
thing of the kind ever before attempted
in this country, and certainly In Wash
ington. '
Officers having the Government build
ings In charge are putting In place special
decorations in honor of the occasion.
Commander Balrd, Superintendent of the
State, War and Navy Department build
ing, has made an Interesting contribution
to the special decorations. He has placed
electric lights forming the well-known
badges of the Eighth and Ninth Army
Corps as used during the War of the Re
bellion, from the east pavilion of the big
granite tri-department building. Presi
dent McKinley, as a Major In the Army,
served In both these corns durintr thi
J Civil War. .The Ninth Corps badge had its
origin at the battle of Roanoke Island In
1861, In which the Army and Navy joined
forces In the attack on the enemy. It
consists of a gun and an anchor crossed.
The Eighth Corps badge Is a six-pointed
star, and had Its origin In the divisions
that originally composed that corps.
Word was received at the Navy De
partment today that the training-ship
Dixies which Is the flagship of the fleet
ordered to take part in the inauguration
ceremonies, left Hampton Roads this
morning for Alexandria. The old warship
Hartford also Is within, about the same
distance from the capital. These two ves
sels probably will anchor off Alexandria
tonight or tomorrow morning. The Lan
caster and Topeka undoubtedly will reach
the same rendezvous Saturday. It has
been decided at the Navy Department to
keep these vessels off Alexandria, and to
bring their crews to this city on ferry
boats. The big monitor Puritan Is at
Washington navyyard, and will remain
there until after the Inauguration.
Representatives of the various veteran
organizations who yesterday, through
General Daniel Sickles, declined to partic
ipate in the Inaugural ceremonies because
they were dissatisfied with the place as
signed them in the parade, today declined
an offer of Grand Marshal General Fran
cis V. Greene to send a guard of honor
of 20 men from each local post to act as
an escort to the President. The veterans
declined "to have any part in the ceremo
nies unless this Invitation was extended
to all members of veteran organizations,
both local and visiting from other cities.
The Inaugural committee has completed
ever detail of the programme. The events
to mark President McKInley's second In

custom heretofore being to leave the
conduct of the Inauguration entirely in
the hands of the upper body of Congress.
At 11 o'clock Mr. Roosevelt will take
the oath of the Vice-Presidency In the
chamber. In the presence of President Mc
Kinley. After the delivery of his an
augural address, the Vice-President will

a stand for this purpose has been con
structed. The president then will deliver
his Inaugural address. He will take his
lunch at the Capltol before Joining the
brilliant Inaugural parade up Pennsyl
vania avenue to the executive mansion.
General Francis V. Greene will head the
parade as grand marshal. President Mc
Kinley will follow, escorted by Troop A,
of Ohio. The body of the parade will be
divided into two grand divisions, military
and civic, and will be a notable pageant
In many respects. A company of Volun
teer troops from Porto Rico will form a
part of the first brigade, and be an at
tractive feature of the parade, as will a
large detachment of sailors and marines.
The Inaugural ball, which will be held
In the great court of the Pension build
ing, will be the social feature of the oc
casion. Large amounts of mney are be
ing expended in floral and other decora
tions, and the committee having this part
of the programme in charge has no doub;
that this great room will eclipse. In
point of beauty and brilliancy, anything
Washington has seen.
President McKinley has decided to re
quest the resignations of all the members
of the Cabinet, to take effect March 4.
Tuesday he will renominate them all,
with the exception of Attorney-General
Griggs, who thus far has resisted the
President's Importunities to remain "at
the head of the Department of Justice for
another four years. It Is known that
Mr. Griggs has finally decided that his
business Interests are such that he can
not afford to remain, and has 60 Informed
the President. He will remain In office,
however, until about April L
The local working men expect a general
Influx of working men from the states,
and will establish a bureau of informa
tion at the corner of New Jersey avenue
and C street, near the Baltimore 5c Ohio
depot, for the purpose of advising where
meals and lodgings may be had at rea
sonable rates; afso as to any other points
on which Information may be desired.

FIGURES THAT TELL ATALE
HOUSE AND SENATE RIVER AND
HARBOR BILLS COMPARED.

Committeeman Was Aliaent.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25. The river and
harbor bill, as reported by the Senate
commerce committee, has proven a fruit
ful source of comment, as well as food
for thought. A careful examination of
the bill shows that the Senate committee,
like that of the House, is capable of
taking care of the state3 represented by
its several members. It further shows
that where a state has representation on
the committee and that member was not
present that the interests of his state
must suffer. Figures are sometimes more
impressive than eloquent, which is the
case In regard to the river and harbor bill.

It may also be noted that the action of
the House In repealing The Dalles boat
railway project, to which Senator Simon,
not on the committee, made a vigorous
protest. Is sustained by the Senate com
mittee, which In all probability means
that the old project must go forever, for
once losing Its place It can never hope to
be restored. The Senator desired to have
It retained, not with a view to having the
project carried out. but In hopes that with
that as a start. It would be easier in the
future to" secure the adoption of some
other project.
The above figures speak for themselves,
and It must be admitted are a glowing
tcstimoni.il to the ability of Senator Tur
ner, of Washington, who is one of the
most active members on the committee.
The Senator was present at every meeting
of the committee while the bill was under
consideration, and listened to the various
hearings which were given different mem
bers of the Senate not members of the
committee. It will be observed that
where a number of Oregon appropriations
were reduced beyond the reduction they
suffered under the horlzntal cut, that
many Washington appropriations were
correspondingly Increased.
For example, the appropriation for the
mouth of the Columbia was cut from $400,
000 to $300,000 before the horizontal cut was
made, and the appropriation for the Up
per Willamette and Yamhill was cut from
$70,000 to $30.0. Contrast with this the
new provision and increases of old ones
pertaining to Washington Items. For In
stance, the Seattle ditch got nothjng :n
the House and was originally allowed $75,
000 by the Senate. Tacoma harbor was
denounced by the House as unworthy of
improvement, but got an original allow
ance of $50,000 direct appropriation and
$394,000 under continuing contract, the full
amount recommended. New Whatcom
was raised from $15,000 to $40,000. and a
new provision was made by the Senate
committee for Gray's harbor originally
carrying $50,000. The Lewis River, which
was given $500 in the House, was allowed
$10,600 by the Senate committee. Of course
most of the original allowances of the
committee were subjected to the horizon
tal cut of 25 per cent, which applied to
everything In the bill over $50,000, save the
continuing contracts, and these were re
duced 33 1-3 per cent. If over $200,000.
It Is true that the Oregon Improvements
have not been as badly treated as they
might have been, yet had there been a
full attendance of the committee It is
fair to suppose that some of the reduc
tions would not have occurred. At any
rate, it is well to note that aside from
the horizontal cut, no reductions were
made In Washington appropriations.
It can be stated on good authority that
the Senate committee was Influenced to
some extent by the speech of Represen
tative Cushman In the House for mem
bers of the committee that an unjust dis
crimination was made by the House
against his and other states. While they
make no comment upon the character of
the speech, they admit that It did em
phasize the Injustice of the House meas
ure to some extent, and It must therefore
be considered as a factor in securing the
larger appropriations for the State of
Washington. All of which is not perti
nent to the reductions made in Oregon
appropriations.
KEEP UP WITH HER CHILDREN
This Mother Han No Fear of Belnjr
OntMtrlpped.
PORTLAND. Feb. 26.-(To the Editor.)
Please allow me another small space to
reply to another mother's letter, and then
I will trouble you no longer, as I think
each mother should solve her own prob
lems as far as possible. Let that mother
take her dictionary and look up the
words raise, raising or rearing, as she
pleases, and she will find the definitions,
to cause to rise, to bring from a lower to
a higher place, elevating, exalting. Now
I should Judge from that mother's let
ter that she has taken into consideration
only one side of "that raising process,
the physical, and not the mental. That
would be a very one-sided raising, I am
afraid. We should all recognize the Im
portance of the physical needs of our
children a great deal more than the aver
age mother does. But we must not for a
moment forget the mental side of that
training, and by the time mother has
studied the oldest, newest and best meth
ods of raising both mentally and physi
cally, she will find her brain has had no
time to rest or accumulate cobwebs. How
often we meet a mother with stoop
shoulders, careworn face and hardened
hands. Poor mother! How much of life's
pleasure she has missed by using the
Pears'

in all the world for toilet
and bath but also for shav
ing. Pears was the in
ventor of shaving stick

physical side alone of that raising! I
notice la another mother's letter she uses
the term "woman," instead of "mother."
If she will look, she will find only moth
ers mentioned In my letter. Not women
In general. Who would not bend the
knee In homage to a Frances Wlllard or
a Helen Gould, and many others one
might mention? But a mother's work Is
Just as ennobling and refining as theirs, if
she only makes it so. Where can we
find a better example than the mother
life of the late Queen Victoria? Now in
conclusion let me say that "A Mother" has
no fear of being outstripped by her chil
dren, as she has kept step with them for
22 years? and hopes to be spared to do so
a little while longer. A MOTHER.
A GOOD DEAL OF NONSEPSE.
Abont "Blood Puriflcrs" and
'Tonics."
Every drop of blood, every bone, nerve
and tissue in the body can be renewed In
but one way, and that is, from whole
some food properly digested. There is no
other way, and the Idea that a medicine
In Itself can purify the blood or supply
new tissues and strong nerves is ridicu
lous and on a par with the folderol that
dyspepsia or Indigestion is a germ dis
ease, or that other fallacy, that a weak
stomach, which refuses to digest food, can
be made to do so by Irritating and in
flaming the bowels by pills and cathartics.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure Indiges
tion, sour stomach, gas and bloating after
meals, because they furnish the digestive
principles which weak stomachs lack, and
unless the deficiency of pepsin and
diastase is supplied It Is useless to attempt
to cure stomach trouble by the use of
"tonics" "pills" and "cathartics," which
have absolutely no digestive power, and
their only effect Is to give a temporary
stimulation.
One grain of the active principle In
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest 3000
grains of meat, eggs and similar foods,
and experiments have shown that they
will do this In a glass bottle at proper
temperature; but. of course, are much
more effective In the stomach.
There Is probably no remedy so univer
sally used as Stuart's Tablets, because It
Is not only the sick and ailing, but well
people who use them at every meal to In
sure perfeot digestion and assimilation of
the food.
People who enjoy fair health take Stu
art's Tablets as regularly as they take
their meals, because they want to keep
well; prevention Is always better than
cure, and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do
both; they prevent Indigestion and they
remove it where it exists. The regular
use of one or two of them after meals
will demonstrate their merit and efficiency
better than any other argument.
