it) THE MOTCNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY. APRIL 10, 1901. MUSKOKA'S FLYING TRIP FRpStCOLUBIBIARIVER TO QUEENS S' TOWS IN 101 DAYS. Beat Pmisagre Made Since 1S94 Port land' Harbor Is Lively Steamer "Mascot in Trouble Again. The big. f&ur-masted clipper Muskoka arrived out lit Queenstotra yesterday af ter the fastest passage that has been made from Portland since 1S94. The Muskoka never made a slow passage, but she .has beaten,her former record of 112 days from the Columbia by over Iff days. She made the long run around the Horn from Portland to'Queenstown in 101 days, "which. Js one day better than any ship has done since the season of 1891-93. At that time, the Brjtish ships Primrose Hill, Hoss-shire and Principality sailed out of the Columbia together December 28, 1894, and their combined passages showed the best average time ever made by a fleet of vessels leaving this port on the same day. The Primrose Hill made the ran In 100 days, the1 Ross-shire in 99 days, and the Principality In 97 days, the latter being the third best time on rec ord for a sailer from , the Columbia Itlver- The record passage wasmade over 20 years ago, by the British,,, bark Caith loqh. which was dispatched by Henry Hewitt and arrived out S3 days after leaving the Columbia River; The near est approach to this record1 was made 10 years ago, when the British ship Machr'hanish sailed from Astoria to Queenstown In fll days. Since the 97-day passage of the Principality, the'best per formances prior to that of the. Muskoka liave been made by the Sutherlandshire, which went home In 102 days in 1SP6. and the Scmantha, which made a similar passage last year. The best record for the .present reason, with the exception of -that of the Muskoka. was made by the .Cedarbank, In 103 days. The Hus l:oka was dispatched by Kerr, Glf&rd & Co., and carried 129.C93 bushels " of wheat. . LIVELY WATER FRONT. Steam and Sail Craft Loading for Many Port. Portland harbor presents a very lively appa,rance at .the present time, and there re fully as many ships and steam ers in -port loading and discharging as are usually found In tne river in No vember and December, when the season is at Its height. There are five 5000-ton steamships loading or discharging. Of these, tno Norman Isles is lying just above Victoria dock, finishing off a big cargo of lumber for Port Arthur and Talien Wan. At the Eastern Lumber Company, the steamship Saint Bede is taking in lumber for Shangnat. At Mont gomery No. 2 the Monmouthshire is load ing wheat for Mediterranean ports, and at Oceanic, the British steamship War field is loading wheat for the "West Coast of South America. The Adato is at AInsworth dock, with a cargo of matting, curios, etc, from the Orient. Among the sailers, the Thessalus Is finishing off a cargo of lumber for South Africa at the JCorth Pacific mills, the Wega is discharg ing ballast, and the Ruthwell is load ing wheat at Victoria dock. The Kate Thomas is loading wheat at Montgomery dock, and the Thistle at the elevator. The Aigburth is loading at Oceanic, and the other ships are either loading wheat or discharging ballast. At the O. R. & N. Co.'s incline in Alblna, four .scows are discharging railroad ties which have been cut down the river and boated to Portland. THE HOODOOED MASCOT. Lewis B-iver Liner Agrain at Bottom of the River. The Vancouver Transportation Com pany's steamer Mascot is lying at the bottom of the "Willamette River, opposite the -ways of the Portland Shipbuilding Company in South Portland. The steam er had been on the ways for two or three weeks undergoing repairs for the dam age sustained in the recent collision with the steamer Hercules. She was launched Monday afternoon, in fine shape, and about 5 o'clock yesterday morning sud denly sank at her moorings In about 12 feet of water. The craft was in good condition throughout, and the cause of her sinking is a mystery which cannot be fathomed until the steamer is raised and an examination made of her hull. The Mascot has had more bad luck than any other steamer on the river, and" the next .boat Mr. Kamm builds will prob ably ybe christened the Hoodoo. The sunken steamer tvIII be raised at once, and put back on her old route. . ' - ..COXING BACK AGAIX. Mr. Robertson, the Raft-Bulldcr, 3Iifctalcen Regarding: Paget Sound. The tug Tatoosh arrived in at Astoria yesterday, towing the big log raft cradle -which the .Robertson Raft Company has been using on Puget Sound. Mr. Rob ertson, who does all of the log rafting that is done on the Pacific Coast, said a great .many ;hard things about the Co lumbia River when he left here a year or so ago, and, according to Interviews printed in the. Seattle papers, he aban doned the river to its fate because Puget Spund offered so many more advantages. The Seattle "papers have not yet stated why 'he is pullfng up stakes and com ing back to a place to which he had such a strong aversion a short time ago. ADATO'S ORIENTAL CARGO. Steamer Brings 14,000 Packages of MlNcellaneoaviMercnandiMe. "The British steamship Adato entered at the Custom-house yesterday, with a car go of Oriental merchandise, the greater part of -which was for Eastern points. "While ber cargo was .light in compari son with the usual .amount received at Portland, she brought nearly twice as much freight as vas brought across, by the last steamer arriving,on, Puget Sound. For Portland there were 1500 bags of papen-makers' clay, 188 cases of straw braid, 57 rolls matting, 6 bundles of bas kets and 2 cases of curios. There were about 12,000 packages of matting, curios, strawbraid and other Oriental goods for Chicago, New York, Boston. St. Paul, Port Worth, Sherman, Shreveport, Tex arkana, Meridian, Houston, Cincinnati, Communipaw. Louisville. Baltimore, New Orleans, Phlladephia, Indianapolis, Kan sas City, Decatur. Austin, Paris, St. Louis, Columbus, St. Thomas and Win nipeg. Two More "Wheat Ships. The British bark Astoria was cleared yesterday for Queenstown or Falmouth for orders, with 83,904 bushels of wheat, valued at $51,100. She was dispatched "6y the Portland Flouring Mills Company, and -will leave down the river this morn ing. The British ship Khyber was cleared yesterday by Giryin & Eyre, with 116,900 bushels of wheat for Queenstown or Fal mouth for orders. The Khyber has been delayed for several days on account of the scarcity of sailors, but will probably get away without any further delay, ' Astoria Marine Nevfs. ASTORIA, Or., April 9.

The longer the event to be celebrated here In 1905 is discussed, the more apparent It Is that the name for it should be short and expressive of the main points. What are the points? The expedition of Lewis and Clark to this Coast, the centennial of that event, and t,he propriety of holding the celebration in the territory acquired as the result of that expedition. These are the principal points, and the name can most appropriately be the LEWIS AND CLARK PACIFIC CEN TENNIAL. The celebration Is to be pre-eminently National In all of its aspects, and is to be participated in and encouraged and patron ized by the patriotic people of the United States, Atlantic as well as Pacific. In view of this fact, the word "Pacific" might be lefi out without doing violence to pro priety, but there are good reasons for re taining It. The Lewis and Clark centennial cele bration, though National in its import ance and significance, must be "located" somewhere. It might appropriately be lo cated anywhere In the TJnlted States. But most appropriately it ought to be held in the territory acquired by the expedition, and Portland is the center of that acqui sition. The' celebration might be held in Astoria, at the mouth of the Columbia, the great objective point of the Lewis and Clark visit, and near the location of their Winter camp, but Astoria lacks hotel ac commodations and transportation facili ties for a great crowd. Portland has both. It might go to Tacoma or Seattle, but they are somewhat aside, and are not so directly connected with the event to bo celebrated, or with the Columbia River, as is Portland. So the word "Pacific" should go into the name as a modest pointer to the great out side world where the centennial celebra tion Is to be located; yet it will be so broad and general that it cannot be dis tasteful to any other ctiy or locality In the Northwest All can feel that they have part and lot in It. and that It is theirs to enjoy and to profit by. The name ought to Include "Lewis and Clark." To leave them out would be the play of "Hamlet" minus that character. It is a "centennial" celebration, and that should be mentioned, and I have given the reasons for Including the word "Pacific" With due respect to all others, let it be called the LEWIS AND CLARK PACIFIC CEN TENNIAL.

Hill's Interest In the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul has been brought to light by an appeal for relief which the road made last Saturday to the judiciary committee of the Wisconsin Senate. Hill has let it be understood that he has no holdings In the road, but it appears that he owns one-sixth of the stock. Under the laws of Wisconsin a railroad, In order to Increase its capital stock, ex tent! its system or make Improvements, must have the consent of two-thirds of its stockholders. The St. Paul road pe titions that the number be reduced to a majority. Its attorney explained to the judiciary committee that the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern are con troller! by the Hill Interests and that they have entered into a 99-year contract with the Burlington on Western busi ness. By the terms of the agreement, the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul is de prived of a large amount of business from the West, and is determined to get it. Hitl's stock holdings enable him to dictate the policy of the road in the matter of improvements. The judiciary committee decided to rtcommend the passage of a bill empow ering a majority of the stockholders to fix the policy of a railroad. If the bill goes through the St. Paul will make extensions and become a competitor for business in Hill's territory. Belllnghnm Bay & Eastern. Superintendent Donovan reports that work is being pushed on the extension of the Bellingham Bay & Eastern from Sil ver Beach to Wickersham. Right of way is being secured from Whatcom to Fair haven. Peter Larsen, president of tho road, is in Montana buying a construction outfit He has ordered $70,000 worth of rails from the Illinois Steel Company. Coal Fields Near Mount Baker. P. B. Cornwall, president of the Belling. ham Bay &, British Columbia, has inspect ed the Mount Baker branch of the road. The extension makes a coal field accessi ble as well as promotes the opening of gold mines. It is said at Whatcom that the company has a bed of anthracite coal that shows 90 per cent carbon. The ledge can be traced on the mountain side for nearly a third of a mile. Car Service Association. Railroad officials met at the office of the Terminal Company, in the Grand Central Station, yesterday, to take steps to organize a car service association. The representation was: O. R. & N., by Superintendent O'Brien; Northern Pacific, Superintendent Pearson and Assistant Su perintendent Law; Great Northern, Assist ant Superintendent Downs; Pacific Coast Company, Assistant General Manager Ford; Southern Pacific. General Manager Koehler; Astoria & Columbia River, Su perintendent McGuire; Terminal Company, Manager Lyons. The purpose of the con. ference Is to Improve car service. Noth ing definite was done and the day was taken up with discussion. At a meeting to be held later a plan of action will be formulated. More Ornnges by "Way of Seattle. SEATTLE, Wash., April 9. The second consignment of California oranges, com prising 5430 boxes, or 15 carloads, arrived here tonight on the Umatilla, of the Pa cific Coast Steamship Company's line. The shipment Is from Los Angeles, -and is destined for Minneapolis, where it will be distributed by the agent of the South ern California Fruitgrowers' Association. The special train conveying the consign ment will leave here In the morning, and will take about 103 hours for the trip. The fruit is stored in the ordinary refrig erator cars, although two of the cars will be iced by way of experiment. On the former occasion the fruit arrived in excellent condition, the cool atmosphere of the northern route obviating all neces sity for artificially lowering of the tem perature. The Ice now being applied Is BOlely for the purpose of ascertaining whether it will Impart to the fruit any merit not derivable from natural means. The Short Line Extension. SALT LAKE, April 9. There Is no sen sational news today from the end of the Short Line track. Material Is being for warded to the front, and Vice-President Bancroft estimates that one mile of track can be laid every day. The Short Line officials do not appear to apprehend any difficulty that will prevent rapid progress of the work. It was reported this after noon that Attorney Whittemore, who was on the ground representing the San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake road, had gone to Pioche, but for what purpose could not be learned. The stockholders of the Utah & Pacific road met here today and elect ed directors, all being Short Line officials. The directors later elected officers, W. H. Bancroft being elected president. The new president at once issued a circular relating to the traffic on the newly ac quired road. , Kansas City and .Mexico Line. .KANSAS' CITY, April 9. President A. E. Stillwell, of the projected Kansas City, Mexico & Orient Railroad, today con firmed a dispatch from Chihuahua, Mex., stating that a contract had been let for the construction of the road between that city and San Anglo, Tex., a distance of probably 500 miles. The road will cros3 the Rio Grande at Peccldee del Norte, where a bridge connecting the two coun tries will have to be built. Mr. Stillwell said: "The railway will be finished and in operation between Kansas City and its terminus, on the Pacific Ocean, a year from next June." The distance of 200 miles between Kansas City and Wichltat Kan., will be built this Summer, he says, the contract having been taken by a Chi cago firm. Railroad Notes. B. Campbell, traffic manager of the O. R. & N. Co., returned .yesterday from New York. The annual meeting of the Oregon & California Railroad was held yesterday. Nothing was done. The meeting adjourned until April 22. EAST SIDE MATTERS. Better Mail Facilities for Monta vllla After April 15.

TREBLED IN THREE YEARS AMERICAN EXPORTS TO PORTO RICO, PHILIPPINES AND HAWAII. Increased 25 Per Cent in Last Year Cuba Trade Varied Little in This Time. WASHINGTON. April 9. Exports from the United States to Porto Rico and the Philippines continue to grow. To cum. there is no perceptible Increase In 1301, compared with 1900. To Hawaii the ex ports are no longer recorded, because or the refusal of exporters to continue their statements since the annexation of Ha waii and Its establishment as a customs district of the United States. The latest figures of the Treasury Bu reau of Statistics show that the exports from the United States to Porto Rico In the eight months ending with February, 1901, were 54.295,953. against $2,279,721 in the corresponding months of the preced ing fiscal year; $1,326 663 In the correspond ing period ending with February, 1S99, and 51.200.067 in the corresponding period ending with February, 1898. To the Phil ippines our exports in the eight months ending with February, 1901, Tvere $2.767,S&, against 51,701,403 In the corresponding pe riod of the preceding fiscal year, $117,021 in the same period of the fiscal year 1809, and 569,235 In the same period ending with February, 1898. To Cuba our exports for the eight months ending with February of the pres ent year were 517,236,752. against 517,172.472 In the corresponding period of the preced ing year: 510,142,949 In the eight months ending with February. 1899- To the Hawaiian Islands the exports cannot, as already indicated, be meas ured for the present fiscal year, but there is every reason to believe that they are Increasing, as are those to Porto Rico and the Philippines. In the eight months ending with February, 1900, they increased 50 per cent over the correspond ing period of the preceding fiscal year, and now that commerce between the isl ands and the United States is absolutely unrestricted It Is not unreasonable to as sume that the figures have materially Increased. The total exports to Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines in the eight months ending with February, 1901, amounted to 524,300,536. against 521,093,556 In the corresponding period of the fiscal year 1900; 5H,5S6,633 for a like period In 1S99, and 58,958,625 for a like period in the fiscal year 1898. Could the figures of our exports to Ha waii in the present fiscal year be Included, It Is probable that the total exports from the United States to the four islands, or groups of islands, would amount to $36 000,000 in the eight months under con sideration, against 530,000,000 In the cor responding months of the fiscal year 1900; 517,000.000 for the same period of 1893; 513,000,000 for the corresponding period of 1898, and 510 000,000 for the same period of the fiscal year 1896. Thus the exports to these islands have trebled since Feb ruary, 1898; have doubled since 1899, and have increased 25 per cent in the past year; though to Cuba there has been in the past year no material Increase. Cuba's importers seem less favorably disposed toward the markets of the United States at the latest accounts than in the preceding year. The latest report of the Insular Bureau of the War De partment, which Is in charge of the Cu ban statistics, covers the nine months ending with September, 1900. In that pe riod Cuba's Imports were $53,108,703. and of that sum $24,525,659, or 46 per cent, came from the United States, and $21,559, 239 from Europe; while in the correspond ing months of the preceding year Cuba's total imports were $54,636,747, of which $23,094,030, or 58 per cent, came from the United States, and $19,481,660 from Eu rope. The following table shows the exports from the United States to Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippine Islands in the eight months ending with February, In each year from 1896 to 1901: Porto Philip Cuba.

Nearly every one will admit that as a Nation we eat too much meat and too lit tle of vegetables and the grains. For business men, office men and clerks, and In fact every one engaged In seden tary or Indoor occupations, grains, milk and vegetables are much more healthful. Only men engaged In a severe outdoor manual labor can live on a heavy meat diet and continue in health. As a general rule, meat once a day is sufficient for all classes of men, woman and children, and grains, fruit and vege tables should constitute the bulk of food eaten. But many of the most nutritious foods are difficult of digestion, and It Is of no use to advise brain workers to eat large ly of grains and vegetables where the di gestion Is too weak to assimilate them properly. It is always best to get the best results from our food that some simple and harm less 'digestive should be taken after meals to assist the relaxed digestive organs, and several years' experience have proven Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets to be a very safe, pleasant and effective digestive and a remedy which may be taken daily with the best results. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can hardly be called a patent medicine, as they do not act on the bowels, nor any particular or gan, but only on the food eaten. They sup ply what weak stomachs lack, pepsin dias tase and by stimulating the gastric glands Increase the natural secretion of hydrochloric acid. People who make a dally practice of taking one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal are sure to have perfect digestion, which means perfect health. There Is no danger of forming an inju rious habit, as the tablets contain abso lutely nothing but natural digestives: co caine, morphine and similar drugs have no place In a stomach medicine, and Stu art's Dyspepsia Tablets are certainly the best known and most popular of all stom ach remedies. Ask your druggist for a fifty-cent pack age of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and after a week's use note the Improvement In health, appetite and nervous energy. Don't Yoti want the food you set before your family, Madam, to be the best you can prepare?
