The time In -which claims -which have not heretofore been presented could be brought In expired yesterday. There are about a thousand such claims, most of them smalL The amount represented by them -will go to swell the final dividend, but -will ot swell It so much as to nurt anybody. On Receiver Nixon's table are Quite a number of claims on which three dividends are due, about the same number on which two dividends are due, and a lot on which only the last dividend is due. When these dividends are oaid. Receiver JClxon will begin figuring up his flnal dividend. Those who have never presented their claims up to this time are "'out of It" altogether. In order that a final dividend may be made and the whole tiresome business brought' to an end. It Is necessary that the receiver should know how many claimants there are to divide the money among. Those who have never put in an appearance will not be counted, according to the order of the court. Four Cases of Contagion. Four cases of smallpox were reported to City Physi cian Zan yesterday. "W. H. Dyer, of Kalama, called at the police station and stated that he was suffering from small pox. It was raining at the time, and as he had an umbrella he was ordered outside until the wagon arrived to take him to the pest house. For one-half hour he stood outside Second and Oak streets with a crowd of people gazing at him, and ultimately he was driven away. The eecond patient is a boy named Ivanson, living on Pennoyer street, and Dr. Zan decided that the boy, who has been sick a week, will be quarantined In his home. A woman became sick in a .physician's office at Third and Morrison streets, and It was discovered she had smallpox, and she was moved to the pest house. The fourth patient is a woman living in a lodging house near the Terminal depot, and Dr. Zan ordered the place quaran tined until an examination may be made in the case today. Incorporations.

All doubts as to whether there would be a change -American .will .find no porches or vestl 'bules on the grounds, "but "propylaea," and no grand entrances, but "pylons" and "propylons." He will look in vain for the athletic field disguised under the sound ing name of "stadium." The colonnades are "pergolas," the central spaces "plazas': and "esplanades," and the main thor oughfares a "mall." The visitor, bewildered with high-sounding but unintelligible words, wll lundoubt edly betake himself to the "Midway," which he can understand, because it Is good, solid, English speech and Pan-Chl-cagoan In Its derivation. For, was it not here that the first of its kind was ever known in this country, "midway" between the two parks, and forever mem orable for the unique eloquence of the barker," for the ostrich farm, the camel journeys in the streets of Cairo, and the persuasive fascinations of the " ot 'ot 'ot" man? The managers of the Pan-American should have taken a lesson .from the managers of the beautiful White City, which had nothing foreign named but its "peristyle" with the ''quadriga" and all the more so as their exposition purports to be "all-American." APPROVE JOHN BARRFTT BOARD OF TRADE TVAKTS,HI3I FOR MES'ISTER TO CHIJfA.. Committee Appointed to Secure Condensed 21 ilk Factory for Portland. OVERWORKED THE WIRE. 3fovr Patients at the Penthouse Wish They Hadn't The hospital for persons suffering from contagious and infectious diseases, com- I morily called the pesthouse. Is located on one corner of the County Poor Farm, about a quarter of a mile from the Coun ty Hospital. It was necessary that the Institution be furnished -with a telephone, and the County Commissioners allowed thfs to be connected with the wire to the County Hospital. Lately there has been a pretty constant succession of patients arriving at and departing from the pest house, and a number of them belong in this city. They found It rather lonely be ing cooped, up where their friends and acquaintances could not visit them, and they flew to the telephone for relief. One after another would take his turn at the phone, and they kept the wire' hot about all day long. The superintendent of the County Poor Farm, Mr. Hansen, had occasion to use this telephone some times, but found the wire so constantly in use that he could not get In a word edgewise. After try ing a number of times to get the wire, he asked one of the talking machines at the pesthouse to please get off the line for a few minutes and give him a chance to use it. He -was told to go to a place wnicn ne never naa any desire to go to, and which a great many people now believe does not exist, the patient having possession of the wire telling him that he had as much right to It as any one. That settled It, and Superintendent Han sen went to the office of the telephone company and stated his case. It was at once ordered that only certain calls from the pesthouse be answered, and the pa tients are probably wondering whether "the line is busy" or Is ,?out of order" Or what Ib the matter.

Sir: I have, laid before the King: the report transmitted by you of the memorial service held at Port land on the 3d ot Fbruary last, and of the sympathetic reference made from the pulpit on the occasion of the deeply lamented death or Her Majesty Queen Victoria, Empress of India. I have received the Klncs commands to re quest you to convey in suitable terms his sin cere thanks to those -who have so kindly glen expression to their condolence in the great loss which has been sustained by his majesty and his subjects throughout the world. 1 am, sir, your most obedient, humble ser vant LANSDOWNE. J. Laldlaw, Esq.. His Majesty's Consul, Portland, Or., U. S. A. John Barrett, ex-United States Minister to Slam, was given another boost yes terday in his candidacy for Minister Plenipotentiary to the Chinese Empire, by the Portland Board of Trade. Presi dent Connell appointed a committee con sisting of F. E. Beach, Seneca Smith and C. W. Miller, whose duty will be to for mulate resolutions endorsing Mr. Bar rett for the position, and have them for warded to the proper authorities at Washington City. The various members of the Board of Trade, in speaking on the 'matter at the meeting, considered the ex-Minister to Bangkok a young man of ability, who had shown talent for the position to which he had been appointed by President Cleveland, and being a Portland man, his influence at Pekin would naturally redound to the interest of the city he has called his home. The committee will taketeps Immediately to acquaint the Oregon delegation with the wishes of the Portland Board of Trade in the matter. For a Condensed 9111k: Factory. The Board of Trade also took action toward the establishment of a condensed milk factory in the vicinity of Portland, and to this end Richard Scott. Joseph W. Bailey and W. W. Cptton were named as a committee to investigate the best methods of milk condensation and the cost of a plant J. W. Cruther3 spoke of a man who was In Portland several months ago, to start a condensed milk establishment, but obtaining no encour agement here, went to Kent, on Puget Sound, and there put a plant In opera tion, which is making money, and has raised the price of milk 100 per cent In that neighborhood. The plant will have to be enlarged shortly in obedience to the growing business, and the merchants of Portland are now ordering a carload of condensed milk from him at a 'time. "The consumption of condensed milk will increase all the time," Mr. Cruthers said. "Even now the city Imports 30 to 40 car loads a year, and our increasing trade with the Orient will open up a greater market for It than ever." The process of condensing milk Is a very simple and Inexpensive one, and a plant in the vicin ity of Portland would be of great benefit to the community." Acknowledgement to Killingsworth. Seneca Smith offered the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted: "Resolved, That the account of W. M. KIIHngsworth, financial agent of the Board of Trade for the preceding year, be approved and allowed, and that a war rant be drawn In his favor for the amount due him, as shown by his said account, and that the thanks of this board be extended to Mr. KIIHngsworth for his efficient services in that behalf." The per capita tax of members of the board was placed at 25 cents a month; sub-boards to pay 10 cents per month into the general treasury for each member. ger enjoyed the profit, and, after bleed ing In battle, grew rich "by victory, he might show his gains without envy. But at the conclusion 'of a 10 years' war, how are we recompensed for the death of mul titudes and the' expense of millions, but by contemplating the sudden glories of paymasters and agents, contractors and commissaries, whose equipages shine like meteors and whose palaces rise like exhalations! INLAND EMPIRE WHEAT. Acreage Aboat Equal to Last Year Increase In Barley and Roots. Alfred Sutton, -local manager for Ep- i"uB" ot v.u., me grain exporters, return ed yesterday morning from an extended trip through the wheat districts of Ore gon, Washington and Idaho. He con firms previous reports of stocks of wheat being pretty well cleaned up In the In terior, and also states that the grow ing crop Is in excellent condition. The acreage of wheat this year will be about the same as last, but there Is an In crease noted In barley and oats. In a few localities, notably In Whitman County, Wash., there has been a large Increase in acreage of wheat, but this has been offset in other places by oats and barley taking Its place. Idaho Is reported to have a good-sized acreage of flax this season, and this as well as wheat Is looking well. There has been a large Increase in the warehouse facilities all through the inland empire, and some interesting .warehouse "scraps" are not beyond the range of possibilities when the season opens and there Is active bidding for wheat. The Seattle Grain Company, which Is the name under which the con solidated Interests of J. Q. Adams and the Centennial Mill Company will oper ate, are building warehouses at Rltzville, Llnd, Scott and one or two other points and by harvest will have a warehouse capacity of over 2,000,000 bushels on the lines of the Northern Pacific and Cen tral Washington.- Spring seeding Is just finished in the Big Bend country, but the winter wheat has been making a good growth and will not be much later than usual. In the course of his travels Mr. Sutton 'encoun tered a great many of the homeseekers that have been swarming Into the North west within the past 60 days. Quite a number of them have taken to farming, and there Is a good sale for wheat lands where they are not too high priced. Con trary to the general belief. Mr. Sutton found considerable good wheat land of fering as low as $10 per acre and from that figure up to $25 per acre, although there are favored spots where $50 per acre Is asked.

ALL TO GO THIS "WEEK. Square Piano Selling: at Eilers Pi ano House Good Ones for Little Money, at ?3 or $4 a Month. "I like the tone of this piano, and I like the action," said a lady yesterday, when looking at one of our square piano bar gains: "but such a larce ulano can npvor of deputy in the office of the plumbing gfi-l1 the legs are taken off, and that even the largest square pianos can be placed wher ever an upright piano will go. When she learned of this it did not take her 10 min utes to decide upon buying a fine Chlcker lng square piano, which she secured on payments of $4 a month. She has a fine piano, Is getting It for virtually half price, and on payments less than ordinary rent If you want a good piano, come In and let us show you some of these remaining square pianos.

Be sure to come in todajVor Sat lirdnv. Eilers Piano House, corner of Park street, "three, five, one" Washington. Robert Meyers, a farmer of Gait, On tario, who was induced to visit California while the homeeeekers rates were in force, a few months ago, passed through Portland yesterday on his return. He had been landed at Dixon, Solano County, where he expected to obtain a farm al most for the asking, but he soon found this was a snare and a delusion. "The whole country is taken up in ranches, em bracing thousands of acres," he said, "and the owners would not part with a piece for love or money." It cost him $41 to reach California, but It took about $60 to pay his fare back. "Many poor men were 'Induced to take the trip," he said, "who have not the means toget home again, and as farm wages are lower than In Canada, It will take them some .time to earn enough to get back "The wages paid on California ranches are $1 a day and board, while in Can ada a hand can get $1 25 to $1 50 without board. The difference Is thus In favor of the Canadian scale, as living is cheap in Ontario. In California Japanese are employed in preference to white men, as they work for SO cents a day and board themselves. This makes It hard for white men to get work. "The railroads have advertised Califor nia's resources in the East away be yond what they prove to be on Inspec tion, and the land that is placed on sale is no good without irrigation. I was at one place where they had to blast hoIe3 for the purpose of planting fruit trees, and 1 did not consider this a mark of fer tility in the soil. 'The railroads also -asserted that a huge army of men would be needed to harvest the Immense wheat crop about to ripen, but the wheat crop over the bulk of the state Is very light, and If It were rot for a rainfall two weeks ago there would have been no need of cutting it at all. As It Is. improved machinery will make the work very brief, and I don't know what the large number of poor men will do to make a living when the light harvest is over." I had become weary of the long, cold Winters In Canada, and thought this a good time to move away, but I will now return to my family per fectly contented to remain In Ontario the rest of my days. I like the appearance of Oregon very much, but I have bought my ticket for Gait and I shall use it now." Will Hold It Daring; the First Weelc in Jnne Committee Appointed. Portland Lodge, No. 142, of the Elk's, de cided at its. meeting last night to give a circus during the first week in June in connection with Norrls Bros. & Howe's dog and pony show, which will be in Port land at that time. The following com mittee was appointed to take charge ot tne affair: Alex Sweek, W. J. Riley, Otto Welnfel der, George E. Chamberlain, D. Soils Co hen, Dr. Sandford Whiting, a E. McDon- ell, Paul Kelty, H. D. Griffin and Fred T. Merrill. This committee will meet at 10 o'clock this morning In the office of Chairman Sweek, In the Chamber of Commerce building. The fact that the date for the circus is so near makes hastein the arrangements a matter of vital import ance. The lodge plans to have an en joyable occasion, which will probably be participated in by Elks from all the sur rounding cities. Not even the eloquence of Ellis G. Hughes could persuade the Port of Port land Commission to order a $103,000 oreage yesterday afternoon. Six Com missioners attended the meeting, and four votes were required to carry the project through. All were agreed that the river channels should be kept open, but not that a dredge Is needed at this time. The discussion revealed that Fres-' Ident Hughes and Commissioners Swlgert and Rellly are In favor of building now, while Commissioners Adams, Banfleld and Selling are in favor of an investigation to determine what is best to be done. Further consideration of the subject was postponed until a special meeting wHich will be called next week. President Hughes position was that Portland's maritime commerce demunds deep channels, and that the second dredge is necessary to protect shipping. The present dredge Is not old or worn out but constant use Is, rapidly putting it in a condition which .will soon call for a long lay-off "for repairs. Besides, the machine Is likely to hreak down at any time and leave the city without ap pliances for deepening the channels. The urgent need bf a new dredge. Mr. Hughes said, was recognized by the old board, which went so far as to have drawings made. The old board proposed to Issue $150,000 bonds and to use $75,000 for a new dredge and $75,000 for dredging. Mr. Hughes said he had constantly opposed a bond Issue for a dredge, as on a basis of $150,000 It would add $7500 to interest account, and make a proportionate re duction in the operating fund. The best way to pay for a dredge Is by direct tax ation, as proposed by the law of 1901. The tax can be distributed over two or three years, and the first Installment will not be payable until 1903. Commissioner Adams opposed a dredge for two reasons because he does not like raising the fund by direct taxation, and because the present dredge can. If repaired, be made to last for two or three years. Commissioner Selling thought if the dredge could deepen the channels eight or nine months In the year, repairs could be made In the re maining time. Commissioner Banfleld said the question was whether Portland would keep the channels open or compel vessels to lighter between Portland and Astoria. This remark made It appear that Mr. Banfleld would vote to go ahead with the dredge, but he shortly after wards moved to postpone consideration until the effect of the June freshet on the channels can be determined. The dis cussion that grew out of this suggestion ended in deferring the matter until the next meeting.

Portland, Or., May 10, 190L To whom it may concern: For more than 30 years 1 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 evenas much 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 "Whitter Medical Springs Water." H. W. PARKER, Foot of Mead Street.
