Croisrlsla Goe to Talcalinano Scar city of Sailors Is Becoming Seri ous Marine Xotes. The British steamship "Warfleld, -which has been in the Pacific Coast coal trade lor the part two years, has been char tered by Balfour, Guthrie & Co., of this city, to load a cargo -of wheat for th west coast of -South America. This will be the second steamer cargo of wheat cent from Portland to South America this eeason, Balfour, Guthrie & Co. dispatch ing the steamer Robert Adamson with 4000 tons about two months ago. The same firm is also dispatching from this port the British bark Cralglsla for Tal cahuano, -Cnile, with a cargo of bluestem wheat. The exports, including the cargo of the "TCarfield, will amount to 500,000 bushels already shipped to west coast points this season. N This demand is due to a failure of the wheat crop in Chile and Peru. In past years, whenever there was a failure in those countries, supplies were obtained almost exclusively from Australia, but this year Portland export ers have made quite a start in the busi ness, and, as a very high grade of wheat is being shipped, the trade "will undoubt edly show Ji material increase In the fu ture. The Ttfarfield is now at Comox taking aboard jboal for the voyage, and is ex pected to leave the British Columbia port tomorrow. She will carry about 4500 short tons, and will be given very quick dis patch. Like all of the -wheat that is sent to the west coast, or to South Africa, the cargo of the "Warfleld will be put up in twill bags carrying about four bushels each. "While Oregon wheat exporters are meeting the competition of the Austral ians in the West Coast trade, they are not so successful in the Oriental trade. Last season several good-sized shipments of wheat were made to Japan, but this year It is Impossible to do anything in that market, the Australian bids being nearly $3 50 per ton lower than can be made" by Portland exporters. SAILORS ARE SCARCE. Much, "Work: Ashore Cannes Too Trouble for Ships. Since General Prosperity pitched his tent In this vicinity, there has been -a decided scarcity of laborers of all kinds. This state of affairs has extended to the water front, and four or five ships are held up in the stream with cargoes aboard, and unable to get to sea on account of the scarcity of sailors. The Khyber finished loading three dayt ago, but has not yet cleared, and may not get away today. Following her are the Buteshire and Cralglsla, both of which have finished, and the Helga and Astoria, which will finish today. An Idea of the scarcity of men can be gained by the fact that the pilot shooner Joseph Pulitzer is tied up at Astoria, unable to put to sea for lack of a crew. A berth on the pilot schooner Is about the softest kind of e sailorlng Job. and when men cannot be found to fill berths like that It is a difficult matter to get them to tackle the round-the-Horn work. The big demand for men to go north with the cannery fleet is one of the prin cipal reasons for the shortage Just now, for sailors are preferred for this work. In addition to this, however, men are wanted In the woods and sawmills, and on construction work on railroads, and a hundred other places all over the North west. Much the same condition of affairs is reported in San Francisco, and there have been delays on account of the scarcity of sailors down there for the past two months. Men are ecarce on Puget. Sound, but the situation is not so strained over there, ior the Teason that there hv a constant supply of recruits, the incom ing lumber schooners and barks being so -numerous that all of the men who leave them do not wander off into other fields of industry. Some of these sailors have been brought over from the Sound to man ships at Portland, but this is an expen slveknethod, and besides Is not enjoyed by tiie Puget Sound sailor boarding house men, whose feelings are considered to a certain extent by the local boarding house men. THE IOWA DOCKED. "Will Undergo Extensive Repairs "Wisconsin and Oregon Xext. BREMERTON, April 3. The battleship Iowa arrived at the navy-yard at 3 P. M. yesterday, with Admiral Casey, Commander-in-Chief of the Pacific Squadron, on board. "The following naval officers are on duty on the big battle-ship: Captain Thomas Perry, commanding; Lieutenant - Commander G. H. Peters, Lieutenant-Commander York Noel. Lieutenant-Commander B. Tappan, Lieutenant-Commander A. B. "Willets, Medical Inspector M. H. Simons, P. A. Surgeon C. P. Kindelberger, Paymaster L. O. Kerr, Lieutenant M. C. Gorges, Lieutenant R. C. Buhner, Ensign H. N. Jensen, Naval Cadets Huff, Stranton, Forman and Mor ris, Captain of Marines C. M. Perkins and Lieutenant HalL All preliminary -work In connection with docking the hlg ship had been completed, and the vessel was docked at 4 P. M. today. .,- r. The Iowa was not expected to arrive until after target practice at Port An geles, but, as quite extensive repairs are contemplated, only one day was devoted to shooting, and the vessel made haste to arrive at the yard, in order to complete repairs in the allotted time lor the work. The navy-yard will he a busy place while the ship Is here; In fact, for the bal ance of the year great activity will pre vail. After the repairs to the Iowa shall have been completed, the "Wisconsin and then the Oregon will undergo extensive repairs. PARES TO ALASKA. Have Been Fixed by the Steamship Ass Delation. SEATTLE, April 3. The Alaska Steam ship' Association held an important meet ing Jtoday in the office of the "White Pass & Yukon Company, and decided upon the Summer rates hetween Seattle and Skag way, and upon through rates to Dawson. The meeting was called to discuss pas senger "business only, and lasted nearly all day. Conclusions were reached on the rates between Puget Sound points and Skagway, and agreed to as follows: First class, $25; -second class, $16. The question of a through rate from Puget Sound points to Dawson was not definitely settled, but it was generally conceded that the following figures would probably be adopted as uniform rates by the association: First class, ?105; first class, continuous trip, ?100; second class. 5S0. The? rates .adopted for the coming Sum mer schedule to Skagway do not differ from those in force last Summer, but the through rate if adopted at $100 for a con tinuous passage will make a reduction of $25 on the Tates that prevailed last Sum mer between Seattle and other Puget Sound points and Dawson. GERMAJf "WARSHIP GROUNDS. Flagship of Prince Henry, of Prnssla, Badly Damaged. . KIEL, April 3. The flagship of Prince Henry, of Prussia, the turret ship Kaiser Friederlch HJ, grounded yesterday east of Arcona. She arrived here today under her own steam and was docked. The damage she has sustained appears to be so ex tensive that she may have to be put out of commission. It appears that the accident was causedeby bad steering, the vessel run- ning into the shallows near Bohnholm Island, to approach" which Is forbidden to Soon after the battleship went aground a fire broke out from some cause un known in the engine-room and it was not quenched until after two hours fighting when the room was placed under water. The damage la serious and several months will be needed for repairs. Captain Thomas Sew Berth. Captain Thomas, of the British ship Kate Thomas, will leave Portland for Port Stanley by way of Liverpool next Thursday. Instead of going to look after the underwriters' Interests In a wrecked ship, as previously stated, he goes to ac cept a permanent position as marine su perintendent for the Falkland Island Company. This corporation has an ex tensive plant at Port Stanley, with abun dant facilities for repairing wooden and iron vessels, and' also keeps, a powerful tug there to attend to vessels in distress. Port Stanley Is 300 miles eastnortheast of Cape Horn, and Is a favorite Tefuge for vessels which become disabled while try ing to get round the Horn. The Kate Thomas was there in distress for two months on her present voyage, and the port has been visited by nearly every mas ter that has made many trips around' the Horn. Steamboat Inspectors Bwsy. Inspectors Edwards and Fuller returned yesterday from Yaqulna, where they in spected the tug Robarts. They Inspected the steamer Nellie In this city yesterday, and will perform a like service for the steamer Regulator at The Dalles today. On their return from The Dalles Messrs. Ed wards and Fuller will go to Astoria to make an inspection of some of the mos quito fleet with headquarters at that city. The boats which will be looked over by them at Astoria are the R. Miler, North Star, Wallula, Electric, O. K., Astorlan, Colwell, "Volga "and El Hurd. Rcalth Officer's Report. SALEM, Or., April 3. The report of Health Officer Fulton, of the port of As toria, for the quarter ending March 31, 1901, shows that 32 vessels entered the port during the quarter and that In all cases the health conditions were good. A similar report has been received at the executive office from Quarantine Officer Patterson, of Gardiner, who reports 11 vessels Inspected. Gale at Queenstovrn. QUEENSTOWN, April 3 Neither the big "White Star liner Oceanic, from New York, nor the American line steamer "Waesland, from Philadelphia, was able to communicate with shore when they arrived off this port this morning. Owing to the gale which prevailed they were compelled to proceed on their way to Liverpool without landing any mail or passengers. Allan Liner Short of Fnel. GLASGOW, April 3. The Allan steamer Buenos Ayrian, which passed Tory Isl and on the north coast of Ireland this morning, signaled that she was short of coal, but that the ship was all right. The Buenos. Ayrian sailed from Philadelphia, March "ll, for Glasgow, and some appre hension had been felt regarding her safety. Topgallant's Last Port. HONOLULU, March 27, via San Fran cisco, April 3. The American bark Top gallant, which put in here about a month ago in distress, will be sold at public auc tion tomorrow In accordance with orders from her owners. The vessel was regard ed as utterly unfit for further service. By Rail to Paget Sound. ASTORIA. Or., April 3. The gasoline launch Robert Barron, recently con structed by R M. Leathers for the Thlin ket Packing Company, was shipped by rail today to Puget Sound. Marine Notes. The good, fast steamer Monmouthshire arrived :in right on time yesterday, and will leave up from Astoria this morning. She will go to AInsworth dock to dis charge. The steamships Saint Bede and Norman Isles have both moved down from the up per harbor. The Norman Isles bumped against the steel bridge and the Burnslde bridge, but did no damage. The lightship was lifted high enough yesterday so that she was placed In the cradle on which she will be rolled to deep water. The contractors are making satisfactory progress with the work, and are now certain of success. Domestic and Foreign Ports. ASTORIA, Or., April 3. Arrived at 2 P.

A session of the Commercial Club of Centralla was held last week to consider a foundry proposition. The club decided to offer a building and site to cost not over $500. The other parties are to put In a $4000 plant; and If, after five years the plant has been conducted according to the contract, then the building and site are to be deeded ot'er to them; otherwise to remain the property of the club. The booty of a burglar was unearthed near Colfax recently by Adam Weitz, a 13-year-old Russian boy, living In the north part of Colfax. He announced that on March 6 he found a lot of watches and gold rings, partly burled in the sand near the Palouse River, in the north part of town. He kept the matter quiet, he said, in hopes of finding an owner for the property. The find consisted of six gold watches and 18 gold rings. They were, in tobacco sacks, and had evidently been buried in the sand on the river bank. The booty must have been burled there a IGng time ago, for the watches were rusty, some of the works having been en tirely rusted away.- A local Jeweler says the works In some of the watches were worth $50 to $60,' and the rings are all solid gold. It is presumed this Is the booty secured by the robbery of some Jewelry store, and that the burglar burled the goods in the SRnd and was afterward DEFENSE OF THE AGBXT APPLBGATE REPLIES TO CAPTAltf ORMSBYS CHARGES.

KLAMATH AGENCY, Klamath County, issue of March 11 I observed an extract from a special report by Captain Ormsby, superintendent of the Cascade Forest Reserve, which reflects severely upon In dian agents and Indians, alleging disre gard to the game and forestry laws on the part of the Indians, and actual en couragement of these people In their tres passes by the agents.

If the superintendent of our great forest reserve had not called especial attention in his report to the "Warm Springs and Klamath Reservations, both contiguous to the forest reserve, I would probably have thought he had no reference to the Klamath Reservation, where we have taken great pains to Instruct our Indians in the game and forestry laws, and have, as we believe, become quite a law abiding community. I have great respect for Captain Orms bv and faith in his fairness, and feel con fident that if he believes the Indians of this reservation go to the timber reser vation at will and there set at defiance out forestry and game laws, he is great ly mistaken. Before mentioning this matter publicly I addressed a letter to Hon. N. Langell, who, under Captain Ormsby, has charge of that portion of the Cascade Forest Reserve, which Is contiguous to the Klamath Reservation, and whose rangers traverse all the forest region which is ever entered by the Indians of this reser vation. It -will not be doubted, I think, that Mr. Langell is the best possible wit ness in this matter. I therefore ask leave to submit the correspondence of Mr. Langell and myself upon the subject with out further comment. Since the Klamath and "Warm Springs reservations have been particularly men tioned as the localities from which the Cascade forest reserve is Invaded, it may be well to state that the last-named res ervation is no longer under the control of an agent, the management of the Indians devolving upon a school superintendent, who Is doubtless considerably burdened with his duties in connection with his Indian school. I am not able to say that he does not efficiently manage the "Warm Springs people, or as well as any man could, considering his many burdens. I think, however, that It was a mistake to relieve these Indians of the supervision of an agent -while they are in a transition state between tribalism and citizenship, for they should be thoroughly instructed In the laws of the state before they are released from reservation restrictions. Very truly yours, O. C. APPLEGATE. Following is the letter to Mr. Langell and the reply: "Klamath Agency, Or., March 18. Hon, N. Langell, Forest Supervisor, Jackson ville, Or. Dear Sir: In The Oregonian of the 11th Inst., you may have noticed an extract from a special report from Captain Ormsby. superintendent of the Cascade forest reserve, wnich constitutes a severe indictment of Indian agenis, and of the Indians, for alleged violations of game and forestry laws. "This Is a matter too serious to admit of Its going unchallenged, but before tak ing further steps in the matter I thought best to write you to know what evidence he may have from your division of the reserve as to the extent of these tres passes. . ifle huckleberry country, as you know, lies at an elevation of nearly 7000 feet, and it is not practicable for Indians or other persons to go there until very late In the season. In fact the Indians rare ly go there until the 1st of September, and rarely remain In any considerable number over a month. During this time it is not only my custom to have some reliable policemen with them to preserve order and prevent violations of the game and forestry regulations and look to the mat ter especially of preventing them from endangering' ths forests from fire., but I send thechlefof police or some other reliable -white-man tospend-a portion of the tfrnf thereto seel that these-regulations are properly observed. No Indians are known to go without re porting at this office for permission, and every i party permitted , to go. is carefully cautioned' about sfartlngJ forest fires. The article of- Captain Ormsby Is graphically and forcibly written and will convey an idea that the Incursions of the Indians into the forest, reserve are -not only lawless, but habitual, and actually encouraged by that much-abused class of public serv ants, the Indian agents." As to the pastur age of stock, this- amounts to a few ponies the Indians take with them for use when they go to ,-the huckleberry country, and. are probably not greater In number than " their twhlt.e brethren take there for the same purpose,. Our Indians pasture no stock on the forest reserve for grazing' purposes solely, and the region where their few ponieB -are pastured while they are In the- forest is not In any way damaged -by the presence of these animate; - T reearfr -Caotain Ormsby as a sincere- and honorable -manfand I do not 'believe he would make these damaging state ments unless he believed them, and I can not but think he has been Jed to make them through the. misstatements of pro fessional deer-skinners and others, who wished to put the responsibility of their own transgressions upon the Indian a custom as old as the Nation and which has often caused unjust discrimination against the red man. You, of course, observe the reference to elk-hunting as a favorite pastime of these Indians. I do not think there has been a solitary, elk .extant In our portion of the, Cascades since, the last specimen of this family was killed on Union Creek, eight years ago. Please write me at once in regard to this matter, as I am very anxious to know what your observations have been, and, If our Indians have been guilty of trespassing, no stone shall be left unturned"by this office to see that hereafter they respect all rules governing the forest reserve, and also that they ob serve to the letter the game laws of the state. Very truly yours, i O. C. APPLEGATE, United States Indian Agent. (Copy.) Medford. Or., 'March 22. Hon. O. C. Ap plegate, Klamath Agency, Oregon Dear Sir: Your-favor of the ISth Inst., in relation to the report of Captain Ormsby, to the Commissioner of the General Land Office, received and carefully considered. I con fess I 'read the report with considerable FOR THE GRIP. You Have Heard of Many Remedies Did Yon Ever Try This One? Everybody you meet on the streets now-a-days either has just had the grip. Is coming down with It, or -has a sure cure for It. The- . disease has been a puzzle to physicians ever since Its appearance sev eral years ago and It is as much of a puzzle today as It was then. It exhibits such a variety of symptoms In different individuals and leaves such disastrous re sults after, apparent recovery, that as yet Its prevention and cure has baffled medi cal science". ' .. However.' there is no, doubt but that the grip 'is catarrhal In character arid the leading symptom In nearly every case Is Increased secretion in the head and throat. in fact .the' first 'indications of la grippe are those:'of a cold in the head which extends rto the throat and' lungs. Dr. Johnson Ames advises as the safest course to pursuerm the first appearance of grip symptoms to" keep to the house for a &avi or two and take Stuart's Ca tarrh Tablets every, hour the first day and every two. hours, the following day, and states that this will break up the trouble before it becomes deep seated. These catarrh' table are antiseptic and harmless and prevent fever and the further development of grip germs, and ward off ,'the ever present danger of pneu monia. Dr. Gerald Simpson says: "I have found Stuart's Catarrh Tab lets a 'pleasant and thoroughly reliable remedy for the grip, especially with eld erly people, with5 whom this prevailing disease is always dangerous; the tablets can be found at any drug store and If used freely during the first few days of "the attack will break It up." La grippe is a- catarrhal -affection, the germs are In the air and no one Is proof against it, but the timely use of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets will prevent any serious results;'-4" ' "'- .-".,' " " " .

Game "Warden Quim by, in his report to the Governor of Ore gon, says: "Not only, have the Indians been permitted to leave the reservation for purposes of hunting game during the close season, but I have been Informed that they are encouraged in their depre dations by" the Indian agents, the result has been that Indians have hunted and shot' elk and deer with Impunity." The fact Is that the last elk seen or killed In the Cascade Mountains was about nine years ago. This elk was killed by an English tourist near the head of Jenny Creek. During the last three years no elk have been seen, either by my rangers or myself. I do nbt believe that an elk can be found from the North- Umpqua River south to the Lake of the "Woods, a distance of nearly 70 miles. I will also state that I have not been Informed by any ranger under my super vision of bands of Indians hunting in the forest-reserve during the close season, and as Game "Warden Qulmby excepted you in his report, I, therefore,- cannot believe that the charges refer to you or the Indians under you. During the huckleberry season, there were over 1000 visitors there, including about 300 Indians. On one of my visits I noticed an old Indian with a water bucket extinguishing a camp Are. I asked him who told him to do so. He replied, "Cap tain Applegate." I told him that was right, and for him to tell all his people to do likewise. Superintendent Ormsby credits the In dians with 20 fires during that Summer-camp-fires, no doubt. I remember report ing two fires which came under the second class, larger than a camp-fire. The per son who -gave me. the Information was positive that the fires were started by half-breed Indians who resided in Doug- 'las County and were visiting your agen cy. I made my report accordingly. This same man confessed later on that he had started both fires -by carelessness; so poor Lo had to take the blame. Last season was very dry, yet I had less-fires in this division than any sea son since-1 have had charge of the for est. During the huckleberry season no hunting is done on that mountain, there being so many people there the deer will not stay. As you know, the berries sel dom become rlpo there before September 1.

Among the last bills of the late Legisla ture Is , one providing for paying Indian "War soldiers $2 per day and pay for horse, etc It passed the House with some amendments, but failed In the Sen ate. The discussion of the measure In the House showed a "lack of knowledge of facts pertaining to the question. It seemed to be conceded that there had been nothing paid to those soldiers. As the measure Is almost certain to .make Its ap-' pearance in future Legislatures it is well that the history of those claims be pub lished. The territorial authorities looked to Congress for the payment of the ex pense of Indian wars, and Issued to the claimants evidence of their claims, known at the time as "script." These Issues cov ered claims for pay of soldiers, horses and supplies. This "script" was very gen erally sold by the original parties. The authorities at Washington appointed a commission, consisting of L. F. Grover and Captain Rufus Ingalls, to audit the claims. The commission spent some weeks or months in the performance of that duty, and reported to the appropriate department at "Washington.

From all indications the factional fight in the Republican party In the City of Portland will be prolonged until the next Senatorial election In this state. This 13 to be regretted, for in all probability soma of the outside counties will be drawn re luctantly into the fight, thus dividing Re publicans. This Is poor policy and poor Republicanism, when a few politicians strive to control for personal spite and self-aggrandizement. Let the outage counties keep out of this factional fight as much as possible, and select leaders who are head and shoulders above scheming politicians. Then we shall have harmony in the Republican party. Valuable Silk Cargo. VICTORIA, B. C, April 3.
