THIRD ORIENTAL LINER
XJTIGHT COMPAJflOJT TTJHJTED OVER
TO P. 4fcA-. CO. AT HOSG KONG.
"Will Bring: a Fall Irnrard Cargo
Cypromene Arrives for Wneat
'' Loading OopaeXr in Port.
TberKnight Companion the third steam
ship of the Pprtland & Asiatic Steamship
Company's line to the Orient, was yester
day turned over to the charterers at Hong
Kong. She will commence loading at that
port today, and from -there will proceed
np the China seas, calling at the principal
ports for cargo, and coaling at MoJL Yo
kohama will he the last port of call, and
she will sail from that port in time to
bring her to Portland about June 18. She
Is scheduled to sail outward on her first
trip from Portland, June 28, and will un
doubtedly have a. full cargo. The Indra
pura. the second steamer of the line, will
' saw Irom San Francisco for Portland to
day and as soon as her inward cargo of
-..bags and Jute are discharged, will load
outward and sail May 28.
Freight for the big carrier is accumu
lating rapidly, and from present indica
tions she will take out a record-breaking
cargo of flour, cotton, paper and miscel
laneous freight. The Oriental trade, which
has been in very bad condition, is showing
eome signs of Improvement, and it is
thought that the worst is over. Now that
the Chinese have expressed a willingness
to settle up for the damages of the war,
'"it la thought that satisfactory trade rela
tions will soon be re-established.
LOST HIS CERTIFICATE.
Captain Thomson, of the Chelmsford,
Is in Disgrace.
A late Issue of Lloyds' Index contains
an extended account of -a Board of Trade
inquiry, held April 15, at Glasgow, regard
ing the conduct of Captain W. B. Thom
son, of the British ship Chelmsford. Both
eihlp and captain are pretty well known In
this port, having made frequent visits
- .here. The charges were that on several
dates between May, 1899, and July, 1900, he
was intoxicated, and was unable to dis
charge his duties, and that during the
voyage he permitted drink to be supplied
to members of the crew, In consequence
of which they were unable to discharge
their duties. The chief officer was the
worst witness for the captain. He testi
fied that on November 3, 1899, when the
vessel was off the Orkney Islands, wit
ness heard the captain order the man at
the wheel to steer west-north-west, and
he felt alarmed at that order. Had It been
carried out the vessels would have gone
ashore, and the man at the wheel also
recognized the danger of the order. He
eaw the rocks ahead. When giving that
order the captain was drunk. Witness be
lieved he would not have given the order
had he been sober. On another occasion
while heaving the anchor witness received
a kick on the face from the captain. He
made an entry in the log to this effect, to
"which, on reading next morning, the cap
tain objected, and, pulling a revolver from
his pocket, threatened to shoot witness.
He ran to his room, and the master fol
lowed, calling upon the carpenter to burst
open the door. The captain found it was
open, and thereupon fired a shot into the
room, the bullet striking the side of wlt
neess bunk. Witness was from 30 to 40
hours in hiding from the captain, to whom
he went after finding he had sobered down !
a bit.
There were a number of similar scenes
on the ship, and at Iquique the Chelms
ford was known as "the floating pub."
The bottles of whisky which were sold to
the crew were carried on the accounts of
the -ship as shirts, and the crew wore out
- -4 Jot of them. After hearing all of the
evidence on -both sides, the" court unani
mously decided that the charges were
proven, and they canceled Captain Thomp
son's certificate as master. The court also
1 volunteered the opinion that the evidence
disclosed a condition of things which they
did not believe to be possible on board a
British ship.
LAUNCH ELF SANK.
Ran Too Close to Oopack, and Was
Struck by Propeller.
ASTORIA, Or., May 14. The launch
;.Elf. belonging to Captain John Reld, met
with an acident this afternoon, and as
a result sank in about 10 feet of water
below the Elmore cannery. She was tak
ing Captain Pease down to the steamship
Oopack, and when crossing under the
steamer's stern ran too close and a
blade of the Oopack's propeller struck
the hull of the Elf, knocking a hole in
it. She began to leak rapidly, and -was
headed for shore, which was reached Just
as the launch sank. Steps will be taken
to raise her immediately.
Bill of Sale for Electric.
A bill of sale was filed in the Custom
House today, whereby Myra Babbldge
transfers the steamer Electric to the
Thllnket Packing Company. The consid
eration is ?4300. Captain Babbldge Is under-
contract to the Government until
July to furnish a quarantine steamer suit
able for the business, and the Electric
lias been used for that purpose. When
lie-made the sale of the steamer Electric
he Relieved he would have no difficulty
In securing another boat, but has been
unable to do -so, although he has had
several engga&rrvit at the last minute
ell were withdrawn. It Is possible that
Captain Babbldge can secure the consent
of the owners of the Electric to retain
her for a short time longer.
THE SHIPBUILDING COMBINE.
Control of Bethlehem Steel "Works
Soon to Be Arranged.
PHILADELPHIA, May 14. The North
American says:
Control of the Bethlehem Steel Company
as the first positive step In the organiza
tion of the "VIckere-Maxim-Cramp ship
building combine will probably be definite
ly arranged for this week. Negotiations
to this end, actively begun 10 days ago,
have reached a crisis, and in the opinion
of Bethlehem stockholders the deal will
be closed this week.
"There is nothing -to say now, but there
probably will be before the end of the
week," a Bethlehem-stockholder aid to
day. 'If a sale of stock results all will
get ithe same price as the large holders,,
who will insist, before agreeing to sell
their stock, that the purchasers shall
agree to take all other stock on the same
terms. The big fellows have no Intention
of selling out and leaving their associates
In the lurch."
It is believed the purchasers will have
to pay ?30 a share, or an approximate to
tal of 510.000,000.
"CYPHOSIEXE REACHES PORT.
Late Arrival Will Probably Figure
'- in the May Wheat Fleet.
The British ship Cypromene, which was
ordered north from San Francisco Heads,
May l, arrived in at Astoria last evening,
and as her cargo Is awaiting her on the
dock, she will probably figure with the
May wheat fleet from this porL The Cyp
romene was chartered several weeks ago
at :36s 3d, which makes her the cheapest
shlp'ln the river. Rates have advanced
materially since she was fixed, on account
of the brightening prospects for the Cali
fornia crop. From present indications,
California will need considerable ballast
tonnage this year, and as the west coast
of South America seems to have a greater
surplus than any other quarter, the Bay
City will probably head off a number of
ships which otherwise might be available
XortPontland loading. Th,eH. Hackfeld,
which made a very long trip from New
York to Nagasaki, is maintaining her rep
utation, and will soon be overdue from

Another Oriental Line.
NEW YORK, May 14. The Staats Zel
tung tomorrow will say that negotiations
are drawing to a close between the Hamburg-American
line and the Atchison, To
peka & Santa Fe Railroad Company to
establish in connection with that trans
continental road a steamship line between
San Francisco and the far East, touching
Honolulu, Yokohama, Hong Kong and
Shanghai. Within a year a line of
freight steamers will be running, and
six steamships of 16 knots' speed will be
contracted for and put in service for pas
sengers within two years. The acquisi
tion of the Atlas line of West India
steamers was a mere detail of this Pn.
Tie Oopaclc in .Port.
The United States transport Oopack ar
rived In from Tacoma yesterday morning
and left up In the afternoon. She will
reach this city early this morning, and
will be given quick dispatch. About) 2000
tons of hay and oats are waiting for the
transport at the Alaska dock. The horses,
which were purchased for the Philippine
service, will not be shipped on the Oopack,
as her equipment for carrying horses has
been remod. Until a transport can be
secured for handling them, they will re
main at the "Vancouver and Walla Walla
barracks. This Is the first visit of the
Oopack'to Portland, although several oth
er China Mutual steamers have loaded
here.
Nevr Docks at Bristol.
LONDON, May 14. Under guarantee of
10,000 for the faithful performance of the
work, the Bristol corporation leased today
for a term of 75 years an Important site

of Mrs. Nation, charged with jolnt
sma6hing this evening returned a verdict
of guilty. The trial was before the dis
trict court and sentence will be pro
nounced tomorrow. It is the general im
pression that she will, be released on the

effort was made, however, to prove that
Mrs. Nation was Insane, at the time of
the raid. The Jury was out only a "short
time. The verdict Is a general surprise,
as it was generally expected that the jury
would hang or bring in an acquittal

IMPORTANT TESTIMONY.
Portland. Or.. Mav 10. lwv
To whom It may concern:
For more than 30 years I have been a
sufferer from sick headache. I have been
much troubled with constipation all my
life and for more than two years I have
been greatly annoyed with a distressing
form of diabetes. About two months ago
I began drinking "Whitter Medical
Springs Water" and have continued Its
use to the present time. As a result I
have not been afflicted with evenasmuch
as a symptom of sick headache since I
commenced using this water. My consti
pation has disappeared and my bowels
move regularly and I am no longer har
assed with sufferings from diabetes. Prior
to beginning the use of this water I had
tried nearly all sorts of remedies without
avail as to any of the above-named ail
ments. It therefore affords me pleasure
to give these words of testimony as to
the merits of the "Wfiltter Medical
Springs Water."

ALGER GOING TO EUROPE.
Expresses Himself on the Philippine
and Cuban Questions.
NEW YORK, May 14. General Russell
A Alger, former Secretary of War, Mrs.
Alger and Russell Alger, Jr., are in this
city and will sail tomorrow for Europe,
to be gone about three months. Gen
eral Alger's health Is much better than
-while he was Secretary of War, but ho
has not entirely recovered. Much of his
time abroad will be spent at Carlsbad. .
"I would have captured Agulnaldo two
years ago If I had been allowed to fol
low my plans," declared General Alger In
an interview last night. "His capture
broke the backbone of the insurrection.
,Th Philippine "War is. now a thing of
)tne past.
MjThe Cuban question will not be finally
settled until Cuba Is a part of the United
Sta'tes." continued General, Alger. "It
should have the same status as Hawaii.
It will not be taken by force, but the In
telligent people of Cuba will ask to become
a part of this country. When It does
values there will quadruple."
When asked how the people of the West
regarded the mad speculation In Wall
street during the last 10 days; Mr. Alger
said? ' JC .- -,!'
"They.vlgw it" very 'much in the same
way i he people of the Easf would a cy
clone sweeping over the. West. But they
cannot see how men will so lose their
heads and go down to ruin. Speculation
Is a bad thing. The man who speculates
and 'wins Is ruined, because he is then
unfitted for anything else. The unfor
tunate who loses Is dawn and is never
heard of again."
General Alger said be had closed out all
his timber interests on the Pacific Coast
and will upon h)s return, devote him
self to his properties In Michigan.
SPORXOF PORTO RICANS.
Attorney-General Decides That
- CockngrhtiBgr Is Illegal.
SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, May 8.
Attorney-General Harlan has decided that
cockflghtlng Is illegal, so about the only
amusement of the Porto Ricans is to be
taken from them.
In May 1899, a general order was issued
which officially approved the regulations
of the local Society of the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals. One of these regula
tions prohibited cockflghtlng, but the or
der was never enforced. The matter was
brought up a few weeks ago on a'ceount
of the usual Spring "fiestas" In the coun
try towns, where cockflghtlng is the chief
attraction. The Attorney-General was
4otye
asked to decide whether the general or
der of the military authorities was still
law. He held that it must be considered
as a general police regulation to be en
forced aVare other laws.
The penalty provided Is heavy. Owners
otr buildings where cockfights 'are held are
liable to a $60 fine. Spectators are liable
to a ?3 fine and those who manage the
affair to a 515-Jlne. Those arrested a sec
ond time for the same offense are liable
to a -double fine.
Sports are entirely, Jacking In .Porto
Rico. The small, boys are just, begin
ning to know about baseball, and in a
few years that game may become popu
lar, but to deny the people of the coun
try cockflghtlng Is to take from them
their principal recreation. Chief of Po
lice Fechter said yesterday that, he was
in favor of cockflghtlng and did not in
tend to hunt for cockpits. Any pit against
which a complaint might be made would
be raided, but no wholesale arrests would
follow. The chief evidently goes on the
principle that a custom pf 300 years'
standing cannot be uprooted In a day.
"Three thipgs drinking, gambling and
cockflghtlng," said he, -'must always ex
ist here."
THE PANAMA CANAL.
President Hutln Goes to Washington
Hoping to Sell It. t
NEW YORK, May 14. President Mau
rice Hutin, of the Panama Canal Com
pany, Is In this city. He came to America
three months ago from Paris with the ob
ject of selling the canal to the United
States Government He has made a visit
of Inspection along the canal route from
Colon to Panama and has spent some
time In Washington.
"1 am unable to state at present the
nature of the proposals 'I have made to
the Government or what hag been done In
the matter," said he yesterday. "The
canal commission will finish its discus
sion of the question in a few days, and
then I shall be at liberty to talk. As
the canal stands now, it would take
about seven years to complete It. Most
of the difficulties complained of have bpen
done away with and it is a practical
scheme. At Culebra, where there was a
deal of blasting done, excavations have
been made to a depth ot 60 metres."
Asked as to the price demanded for the
canal, Mr. Hutin said:
"I am not at liberty to give any figures
until the matter has been settled. I am
returning to Washington and expect a
speedy settlement."
Contests His Wife's Will.
NEW YORK, May 14. William
PH. Williams, .the husband of Mrs.
Althea Virginia Williams, who died
recently in this city, has filed a contest
to the probate of the will. Mrs. "Wil
liams, who had not been on good terms
With her husband, left all her property,
valued at over $30,000, to lier -cousins,
with the exception of a few small be
quests, cutting Williams off with $10.
Williams, who Is In San Francisco, al
leges that his wife's faculties had been
so iar impaired by disease as to make her
an easy-dupe of the arts aid Intrigues of
those by wlfom she was surrounded. He
also alleges that she, while under the in
fluence of drugs, made a different dispo
sition of her property from what she
would otherwise have done. The will
was obtained, it Is alleged, by fraud, cir
cumvention and undue influence.

TO PROMOTF DAIRYING
EFFORTS OF.SOlITHERjJ PACIFIC TO
STIMULATE INDUSTRY.
WoodbHra Grange Meeting Ad
dressed by- Dairy Expert Smith
and Freight Agent Lonnsbarv.
WOODBURN, May 14. The opening
meeting of the Farmers' Grange, held at
Woodburn last Saturday, was well at
tended, giving evidence that consider
able interest is manifested on the part
of the people In this community In the
efforts which the Soutliern Pacific Com
pany is making to stimulate and advance
the dairy industry In the Willamette val
ley. Mr. C. L. Smith, formerly of the
Farmers' Institute, and dairy Inspector
In Minnesota, and H. E. Lonnsbury, trav
eling freight agent of the .Southern Pa
cific Company, were present and ad
dressed the meeting.
In a few well-chosen remarks Chair
man Voorhles Introduced the -visitors
and explained that the audience assem
bled had come together for the purpose
of hearing about the latest methods of
dairying and farming now being pursued
In other sections of the country, and said
that he for one was glad to be present
on such an occasion.
The first speaker was Mr. Lounsbury,
who was called upon to tell why railroads
are taking an Interest In the, welfare of
the farmer by encouraging the develop
ment of dairying and diversified farming.
He said:
Development Due to Railroads.
"Seventy years ago, when Stevenson
perfected the first successful locomotive
that hauled passengers in the roughly
constructed coaches of that period be
tween Liverpool and Manchester, no one
ever dreamed or had the remotest Idea
of the advancement which would be made
In railroading In the years to come.
Success was no sooner attained, how
ever, than railroad buildlngb came pop
ular In England and America, this coun
try now being spider-webbed with rail
roads running In all directions from East
to West and North to South.
"It has been truthfully said that civi
lization follows the railroads, and when
we realize by comparison the difference
In conditions existing in Western Oregon
in 1843, when the first government organ
ization of the State was formed at Cham
poeg, and the advanced condition of this
section at the present time, we know that
such Is the case. Progression Is the
watchword of the hour. We either pro
gress or go backward. There Is no such
thing as standing still, and in the march
of progression- the competition of others
striving for the same end spurs us on
to the attainment of better results.
"In the early days of railroading, it
was the practice for the railroad agent
to stay in his office and wait for the
business to come to his road. Competi
tion has caused this old-fashioned method
to be discarded long since, and today the
railroad that would be successful must
send the agent after the business. And
the best enlightened traffic officials of the
day are seeking to make business where
none formerly existed. This is the rea
son why we have Mr. Smith here to
day. Diversified Farming Profitable.
"Study and comparison of farming and
industrial conditions in one section of
the country as compared with another
shows, that where the farmers are en
gaged In dairying and diversified farming
the community is prosperous. Mr. Smith
will probably tell you how to make dairy
ing pay the running expenses of the
farm, while, there are numerous other
things, such as by-products, fruit or
chards, hopryards, etc., which, if' en
gaged in in addition to dairying, would
bring in a revenue which might be con
sidered as nearly all profit. We all know
that the farmer is a good spender, hence
the more he makes over running expenses
the better will be the food provided for
his -table; his family will wear better
clothes; his home will be furnished with
better furniture; he will make improve
ments on the farm and travel around on
business and pleasure. This means in

Good Market for Dairy Products.
"Considering the establishment of a
good many new creameries in the Wil
lamette Valley during the past year, the
production of creamery butter in this
state has probably been double that of
former years, and yet it is not being
overdone. This is so because all of the
output of the creameries In Oregon is"
contracted for by Portland and Seattle
dealers who stand ready at the present
time to contract for all that they can
get. These dealers have demonstrated
that butter packed in hermeticallysealed
cans finds ready sale in Alaska and the
mining districts of Eastern and Southern
Oregon. A firm In Portland secured the
Government contract to supply the army
with a certain amount of creamery but
ter for use In Alaska and the Philip
pines, and experienced considerable dif
ficulty -in getting together a sufficient
amount for this contract."
"Mr. Smith was next introduced and
caught the attention of his hearers at
once by a few biographical reminiscen
ces. He said that one farmer living
just across the road from his neighbor
and -farming Identically the same qual
ity of soil always had good, profitable
crops, while the other fellow constantly
run behind. The less fortunate man
would never admit that the successful
one knew more about farming than be
did of course not but looked upon it as
"fool luck."
Brains Must Be Mixed "With Labor.
"The farmer In some localities," he
said, "Is looked upon as a crank, but
the difference between the earnings of
this man and the other is nor the result
of any more labor, sometimes not so
much, but represents the value of
'brains' used in connection with labor.
The latest methods are the results of
experience on the part of others who
have improved upon the old ways of do
ing work and cast them aside. In this
connection the State Agricultural Col
lege at Corvallls Is doing valuable work
for the farmer, and the farmer who
falls to take advantage of the informa
tion gained by experimental demonstra
tion Is negligent of his best opportuni
ties. The bulletins of the experiment
station are sent free upon application
to all the farmers in the state, and every
farmer ought to study them carefully
and avail himself of the suggestions
contained therein.
"There was a dairy convention held at
Albert Lea, in Freeborn County, Minne
sota, 17 years ago, at which I was In
vited to make an address. In the fore
noon of the day of the meeting I went
through the town and found 76,000 pounds
of farmers' ''dairy butter stored In the
basement of. the stores. The -merchants
had paid 7 and 8 cents per pound In trade
for it, and were offering to sell it to a
soap factory for 5 cents per pound, but
A Pastor
announcing, from the pulpit, a committee to look
-rA
after the cleaning of the building, called it "The
Pearline Committee." That is the kind of
advertising that

even the soap factory did not want it. in
my talk at the convention, I roasted the
farmers for wasting their cream.
First Co-Operative Creamery
"About a year after that, some of the
Danish farmers in that county were vis
iting In Iowa and saw a separator cream
ery, which was a. new thing then as most
of the creameries at that time gathered
cream raised in the deep setting cans.
They were favorably Impressed, and
when they got home called a meeting
and told what they had seen. The result
was the organization of the first sep
erator co-operative creamery In Minne
sota. Twelve years later I attended an
other dairy convention at Albert Lea,
and found that Freeborn County was then
sending, out $750,000 worth of creamery
butter per year.
"Before the introduction of "co-operative
creameries in Minnesota the farm
ers depended almost wholly on wheat.
They thought it would not pay them to
fool away their time raising anything
else. The adoption of the co-operative
creamery however, changed the whole
condition of things. There are now about
900 creameries in that state, about i00
of which are co-operative. Before the
creameries wero established very few
farmers bad bank accounts, but now in
the sections where creameries abound,
the banks are filled to overflowing with
money, and It is very hard to either lend
monej; or buy land. The steady- Income
throughout the year helps men to get
out of debt and stay out of debt. Ac
tual experience proves that $400 per year
paid in monthly installments gives more
comfort and better living to a family
than $600 a year paid in one lump sum.
Fine Willamette Valley Prospects.
"This is my first visit to the Willam
ette Valley. I had heard a great deal
about It, but was surprised at finding
conditions for dairying even better than
I Jiad supposed. All grasses seem to
thrive luxuriantly wherever planted, and
the red clover, which Is one of the very
best plants both for pasture and hay, is
the best I have ever seen in the United
States, and I have been in almost every
nook and corner of the continent. For
restoring fertility to worn-out land,
nothing Is better. My attention was re
cently called to a tract of clover cut
twice for hay last year, which now
stands eight inches high, a remarkable
growth in that length of time. I have
seen some fine fields of vetches, a most
excellent forage plant for cattle, sheep
and hogs, and while lately at the Cor
vallls Agricultural College saw a field
of rape v which was closely pastured last
season, is now growing to seed and
stands over 30 Inches high." .
At the close of Mr. Smith's address,
every farmer present was Invited to ask
questions and take part In discussing
subjects of Interest. A number of farm
topics were freely .discussed and a very
pleasant feature of the meeting was the
unanimous vote of the entire assembly
to the effect that they had been benefited
by attending the Grange on this particu
lar occasion.
