The steamer "Vulcan struck a snag in
the bend at the foot of Swan Island at
an early hour yesterday morning, while
towing a big raft of logs up the river.
The water poured in at a lively rate, and
in order to prevent the boat sinking in
deep water, she was cut loose from the
raft, and ran aground in shallow -water
at the foot of the island. She is resting
easy with the decks just out of water,
and an effort will be made to raise her
today. Diver Morgan will take a cruise
in the vicinity of the hole made by the
snag, and if it is practical, a canvas will
be placed over the hole, and the vessel
pumped out and taken to the ways for
repairs. If a canvas cannot be employed
to advantage bulkheads will be construct
ed. The snag which caused the trouble
drifted in during the last high water and
Jts presence was Jiot known until the
IVulcan found it.
2IA.Y FLEET COMING.
.Two More Grain Ships Reach Port
Yenterday.
The May grain fleet is beginning to blow
5n from various directions, and by the
time the April fleet is all out the harbor
will present a fairly animated appearance.
The German ship Nereus, slightly over
due from Kong Kong, arived In yester
day noon and was followed a few hours
Jiitor by the British ship Thirlmere, which
hsis made a very fast passage from Pan
ama. The distance from the latter port
is not sufficiently great to make a CG
daiv passage remarkable, but as the port
lies in a calm belt, ships experience con
siderable difficulty in getting away fom
it. About two years ago the British -ship
St. .Enoch was over four months making
the .passage.
The arrival of the two ships yesterday
accounts for about all of the vessels that
are fully due here at this time except
the Kawthornbank from Mollendo, but
if some of the ships from the Orient
should make fast passages they will
Joe along by the last of the month.
THE GJLDEMEISTER. CONDEMNED.
Marine Laws of Germany Make Her
a. Constructive Total Loss.
SAN JPEAiNOISOO, April 23. The Ger
snan bark Otto Glldemelster has been con
demned as a constructive loss Tinder the
anarino lawa of Germany, and will be sold
at auction in this city next Monday.
The Gildemelster sailed from Yokohama
for Portland, Or., last year. During the
voyage she encountered a hurricane, and
was disabled. She proceeded slowly toward
the American coast and was picked up
off Mexico by the steamer Santa Rosalia,
and towed into San Diego. In the mean
time reinsurance amounting to SO per cent
bad been placed on the vessel. After minor
repairs the vessel was towed to tills port
and condemnation proceedings were com
snenced, -with the above result. The spec
ulators in reinsurance wno placed their
money on the vessel will lose 5115,000.
Relic From the Rio.
Captain E. S. Edwards has received an
interesting relic of the steamer Bio de
Janeiro, which sank off Golden Gate re
cently. It is a piece of piano box -which
floated from the -wreck and was secured!
by the tug 'Sampson. James "WL Hare,
chief engineer of the Sampson, presented
it to Captain Edwards, who has added
it to the valuable collection of maritime
relics and curios of his office. It Is only
: dark piece of wood, about SxlO inches,
and would look very ordinary unless la
beled with the few words which detail
Its terrible history.
Another Overdue Sighted.
SAN FBANCISCCO, April 23. Word has
been received here that the long-overdue
bark Grande Duchesse Olga, on which
heavy reinsurance has been paid, has been
sighted near the Azores. She Is bound
from this city to Queenstown with a
cargo of wheat- The rate of reinsurance
on the British four-masted ship Manches
ter, out 243 days from New York for
Yokohama, has advanced to 63 per cent.
The rate on the ship John McDonald, out
217 days from Baltimore for this port, has
advanced to 90 per cent.
Kerr Gasoline Launch.
ASTORIA, Or., April 23. A contract
was let to R. M. leathers today
for the construction of a launch
for John Reld. The dimensions of the
craft are to be as follows: Length, 55
feet; Beam, 10 feet 10 Inches; depth of
hold, 4 feet 6 inches. She will be equipped
with a 30-horse-power Union gasoline en
gine and it is to be completed on or be
fore June 15. The launch is to be used
in the shipping and general jobbing trade
and is expected to be the swiftest of her
class on the river.
Thomas Tennent Dead.
SAN FRANCISCO. April 23. Thomas
Tennent, one of the pioneers of San Fran
cisco, died yesterday after a lingering,
illness. His first public work was as sur
veyor of the city tinder "William Eddy.
In 1864 he began the publication of "Ten
nont's Nautical Almanac and Tide Reg
ister," -which he continued for many
years. He -was known to nearly every
mariner on the Pacific coast.
Lightship Xear Smooth Water.
ASTORIA, April 23. The stranded light
ship has been moved to within 250 feet of
Baker's Bay and the vessel will be left
where she now is until the new keel has
been put in place and the repairs to the
hull below the water line made, when
she will be brought to Astoria to be
placed in condition for resuming her sta
tion off the mouth of the river.
Hamburg-American Liner Ashore.
PORTLAND, Me., April 24. The Hamburg-American
Line steamer Drumelzlr,
bound from Hamburg to Portland with
sugar and hides, is ashore on Thibb Rock,
ibetweon Wells and Ogunquit, Me., seven
snilos below Cape Porpoise. No particu
lars havo come from the stranded steamer.
Marine Xotes.
The Port Carlisle is discharging ballast
and will begin loading about the first of
the week.
The German bark Paul Isenberg left
Astoria yesterday in top, and is due at
Portland today.
The Wega, which is now taking on
-wheat, will complete her cargo in a few
days, and will be dispatched in time to
swell this month's list of shipments.
The Adato cast off from her moorings
yesterday, and anchored In the stream,
and will leave down the river today. She
will coal at a northern port before en
tering Grace's South American service.
It Is the Intention to have the Fulwood
ready for sea before next month, and
work of disengaging and loading her will
be rushed. It is not expected she will be
ready to receive cargo before Monday or
Tuesday.
A consignment of 170,000 feet of rough
lumber is being prepared by the Portland
Lumbering & Manufacturing Company for
the IndraveHi. The lumber is being put
aboard a scow at the South Portland mill,
and will thence be transported to the
ship. This method will expedite the load

EAST SIDE. NEWS.
Mount Tabor Strawberry Crop May
Be Short This Yea.
C. H. Welch, a Mount Tabor fruit
grower, said yesterday that the yield of
strawberries will not be so large as for
merly In this vicinity, as& many growers
have plowed up their patches. He thinks
this will be for the best, as growers will
get better prices for their berries. "So
long as the canneries pay only 1 cents
a pound," said Mr. Welch, "there Is no
encouragement for growers to produce
large crops. The price does not pay the
cost of production. I think It will be for
the best to clean out the old vines and get
new ones. It will destroy the worms."

PORTLAND LUMBER CUT
PRODUCT OF MILLS AMOUXTS TO
1,200,000 FEET A DAY.
Value of Output ?12,000 Number o
Men Employed, 1500 Log Sup
ply for 200 Years.
The saw mills of Portland are turning
out about 1,200,000 feet of lumber per day,
according to a prominent mill man spok
en to on the subject yesterday, and . the
number of men employed in the innustry
reaches 1500. The value of the product
at the average of $10 per thousand feet is
512,000 a day. "A large proportion of the
output Is now being sent by rail to Cali
fornia," he -said, "though several million
feet have left for Asiatic points and for
South Africa, within the past few weeks.
Considerable Portland lumber finds Its
way as far East as Chicago, but the
rate of 50 cents per thousand charged by
the railroads acts as a serious embargo
on the trade. We hope some day to ob
tain a 30-cent rate, as this would enable
us to compete with saw mills of the
South, which now get a 22-cent rate to
Chicago. Oregon lumber Is so much su
perior to the Southern pine for structural
purposes that consumers would rather
pay the difference and obtain the better
PIONEER MERCHANT OF SOUTHERN OREGON
THE LATE FRAKCIS M. GABBERT.
MYJtTLE CREEK. April 23. Francis M. Gabbert. who died at his home
here Saturday, was a pioneer merchant of Southern Orecon. He was born in
Galena, III., In 1832. For a number of years he was purser on Mississippi
River steamers. He emigrated to California in 1S52. and to Oregon In 1S51. In
18Ii5 he married Louise Browning, in Lane County, who died about 12 .years ago.
Two or three years later he married Miss Jennie Beckett, of Portland, who sur
vives him. In 1859 he engaged in the general merchandise business at Wolf
Creek, in Josephine County. He was a leadlnsr merchant of this place for
about 25 years, retiring about three years ago. The greater part of this time he
served as Fostmas-ter. The following children survive him,: K. H of Oregon
City; Georce, of Colfax, "Wash.; Ferd and Mrs. Lulu Kramer, of Myrtle Creek;
E. B., of Placer; Frank B., of Globe, Ariz.; .Marion, of Los Angeles, and Miss
Ethel Gabbert, of Portland.
article. Of course, if we could ever get
the Nicaragua Canal through, the rail
roads would have to lower their charges
on this class of goods, but the canal
seems too remote a contingency to figure
on just now.
"Of the lumber sawed by local mills,
Portland uses about 3,000,000 feet per
month, in the numerous structures she is
constantly erecting, and this ratio will
probably keep up for some time, as the
city's population Is constantly growing,
and old elevated roadways, sidewalks,
etc., are always needing renewal. This
demand alone keeps quite a number or
hands employed.
"Saw mill men are operating on a lit
tle better margin than they were a few
months ago, and are now making a small
profit, though labor and logs have ad
vanced in recent years. Lumber Is still
cheap In Portland, however, compared to
the price In other states, and so consum
ers do not kick at the figures.
"The log supply of Portland will not
be exhausted for the next 200 years, ac
cording to the present demand, as only
those timber lands adjacent to the tribu
taries of the Columbia River have yet
been tapped. The heavy forests of the
Nehalem, Gray's Harbor, Lewis River
and the foothills of the Cascades, are
all naturally tributary to Portland, nnd
have yet to be drawn on. Of course,
this means more railroads, but railroads
will be built as they are needed, and
the cost of carrying logs by rail into
Portland Is not likely to increase the price
of lumber."

"Wenther a Trifle Too Cool nt Night
for Best Result..
Summarizing crop conditions, the week

"The week was slightly warmerthan the

however, continue a trifle too cool, and
sharp frosts have frequently occurred.

Western Oregon ranged between 34 de

WORKS A HARDSHIP.
Decision on Street Improvement Un
fortunate. PORTLAND, April 23. (To the Editor.)
The decision of Judge Bellinger per
taining to the Improvement on Sixth
street, while It may be law, cer
tainly is very unfortunate at this time,
when our streets so much need repairs,
particularly Fourth street, where the
pavement has proved "a failure, and
where It should be replaced by some
more desirable pavement. Property hold
ers were very active In securing the
adoption of this pavement, with best In
tentions, nevertheless it is a failure. Be
cause of this error of judgment ought we
to pay for another by a general tax, as
some contend that we should? Even in
this case, we must await the enactment
of a new law to inaugurate another sys
tem. I regret that Mr. Teal fails to give
the citizens the amendments prepared and
sent to Salem, as this would give us some
Idea of the proposed amendments upon
the subject of street repairs, that we
might judge of their wisdom and effi
ciency. Mr. Teal says: "It would serve no good
purpose to enter Into a discussion as to
the proper method of street improvement
or street repairing. The Charter Com
mission will soon be at it." I think on
the contrary It would be of great service
to discuss this question and determine
what Is to be done in this particular case,
as it will Involve a very serious question
of how and in what manner this expense
is to be met. In the recent discussion I
fail to see where there are any more
damages than benefits and if there are
more, the property should pay the tax.
The assessment appears equitable.
The people, in my judgment, are the
best judges of what kind of pavement
they can afford to pay for. If It will
warrant, they may put down asphalt,
otherwise they may macadam, until
the property wll bear something better.
Of this they determine by petition. For
temporary repairs there is already pro
vided a fund by the mill tax, and If
expended, as Intended, by keeping two
or three carts and a few men constantly
repairing holes and Imperfections In the
streets, It would go far towards keeping
streets In condition. But I understand
this fund is largely diverted to repairs
of bridges. Possibly y mill may be re
quired, and for gulch bridges another
mill. Otherwise, with possibly other
slight amendments, to compel repairs by
property owners under certain circum
stances, the present law can hardly be
Improved upon.
So far as the end of the Alder street
bridge Is concerned, there never was any
use for It. Many other useless structures
were constructed. There arc too many
bridges and elevated roadways, and if
people want them built at public expense
simply to make a market for some
water lot (otherwise worthless) they
ought to pay for the Improvement. There
may be some justice In constructing cer
tain bridges, where the gulch property
Is worthless, from a special tax levied
for that purpose.
In respect to low lands of no value for
business purposes, unless elevated road
ways are constructed, as In East Port
land and over Couch Lake, they should
be built by abutting property. Even
where It Is a thoroughfare, the property,
having been made business property and
valuable by such thoroughfare, I see no
reason why the abutting property should
not pay for the elevated roadway. On
the main business thoroughfares, where
the most travel is, there the property
Is most valuable, and can afford to pay
for the Improvement, even If It consists
of elevated roadways.
Mr. Teal says that after an Improve
men is made under the rules and regula
tions of the City and accepted by it,
then for a certain number of years It
should be maintained out of the general
fund. How many years he does not say.
Coal tar pavement or bituminous pave
ment might last three years. Asphalt
might last 12 years. Bricks are of uncer
tain durability, also wood blocks. Plank
streets, those of two, three, four and
six-Inch, are all of uncertain durability,
so with macadam and gravel; all are de
pendent on the wear and tear on &he re
spective streets, to considerable extent,
or the durability of material. Therefore,
how are we to fix the life or time limit
of any improvement?

The Sentinel Letter.
TEMPLETON, Coos County, April 20.
(To the Editor.) Permit me to extend
compassionate regard from numerous
readers of your paper In this neighbor
hood for the. agonies of strangulation
which you will be called upon to undergo
at the hands of the editor of the Catholic
Sentinel; or, In strict compliance with
the terms made and provided for your
guidance by him. In either case you
have our sincere sympathy. The tenor
of the editorial in question being eo ex
actly in line with the undercurrent of
popular thought, any question of reprisals
for such divergence of opinion Is simply
preposterous. It Is worse than flinging
a cadaver on the festive board In hope of
staying the appetites of the assembled
guests, who may possibly not object to it.
So much as to the animus which brought
It there. In this attempt to muzzle The
Oregonlan, one of the most ably edited
nnnnrs In tha Trite Srotoe th "i!tor of
the Sentinel would appear to be flying
pretty high; too high, some of us are
hoping. This "sun of glory" has been
above the horizon there many 'hours, but
Is continually befogged by the vaporlngs
of those whose occupation would be gone
at his faintest scintillation. "As It was
In the beulnnlng," etc., Is a doctilne in
grained In the marrow of these people's
bones. Evidently they wish It to be.
"World without end." Alas! for them
that It should be so. Wc who have turned
our faces toward the light wish to tender
to The Oregonlan our sincere apprecia
tion of the magnificent courage exhibited
In making this stand for truth's 3ake
and common sense. E. A. TAYLOR.
PLENTJ OF IDLE MEN.
But They Won't Go Into the Coun
try for a Day's Work.
There Is plenty of work for laboring
men, and more looming up, according to
Portland employment agents, who find
difficulty In filling orders from logging
camps, quarries, farms, dairies, etc. There
appears to be quite a number of Idle men
In the city, from the way they crowd
around the bulletin boards at the va
rious offices, but the majority of them
object to leaving town. Considerable
street work Is going on at present, and
this Is preferred by the men. Contractors,
however, look for a suspension of street
work after the present contracts expire,
on account of the recent decision on the
matter of raising funds. If this work
stops, country employers will find it
easier to get men.
Logging camps, as far off as Gray's
Harbor, depend upon getting their hands
In Portland, while railroad construction
In Wyoming has drawn off a large num
ber of men from this city within the
past six months. The starting up of work
on the Vancouver-Kalama line will re
quire several hundred hands, and the ex.
tension of the Gerllnger road 17 miles back
of Vancouver will also add to the drain
on the labor market. The Portland City
& Oregon Railway, successor to the East
Side road, has started to ballast Its line
between Portland and Oregon City, but
finds difficulty in getting men enough.
The wages paid Is 1 75 a day without
board.
A laboring man who seemed to be a
spokesman for quite a number of his fol
lowers on Morrison street yesterday, said:
"The highest wages offered now Is only
$1 75 a day, but men won't work for
that, and would rather lay off. Two dol
lars Is little enough, the way prices of
everything else have gone up. Why,
down here on the river, they expect men
to work for 15 cents an hour, loading and
unloading scows, and the minute the
work Is done a foreman, with a watch,
puts down the time. When the men
don't work their pay stops, but they must
pay 20 cents a meal until the next Job
begins. A man can't save a cent at
these figures, and I'm very glad they re
fuse to work for ?1 75 and board them
selves." AT THE HOTELS.

famous little star will appear in a revival

To keep the skin clean
is to wash the excretions
from it off; the skin takes
care of itself inside, if not
blocked outside.
To wash it often and
clean, without doing1 any

quires a most gentle soap,
a soap with no free al
kali in it.
Pears7, the soap that
clears but not excoriates.
All sorts of stores sell It, especially
druggists; all sorts of people use it.
Mrs. Rorer
and all the rest of the good cooks
know that a shortening agent must

The itching scalp, the falling hair and
tho dandruff that annoys are the work of
a parasite hidden In the scalp. That par
asite must be killed to cure dandruff;
and the only preparation that will do that
Is Newbro's Herpiclde. "Destroy the
cause, you remove the effect."
C. H. Reed, of Victor. Idaho, says:
"Myflf and wife had dandruff and fall
ing hair several years. Two bottles of
Newbro's Herpiclde completely cured us,
after several other hair preparations had
failed to do good." Makes hair grow
glossy and soft as silk. Hundreds of oth
