W&WJJ&F 10 THE MOUSING OEEGONIAN, FRIDAY, MAT ' 31, 1901. L4RGEST ORIENTAL CARGO IXDRAFCRA. CLEARS FOR THE FAR 'BAST "WITH. RECORD LOAD. Ha Over Six Thousand Tons o Frclgiit Aboard Mysterious Life Bnoy Picked TJp Off Cape Coolc The Portland and Asiatic liner Indra punv the second steamer of the new Portland line to the far East, sailed yes terday afternoon -with the largest cargo that ever 4 eft" this port lor the far East. The xnamxribth liner was not loaded to her capacity, but she carried over 5500 tons of Oregon products. In addition to several hundred tons ot cotton and "beer from the East. Altogether, she carried about 6200 tons, with flour, as usual, the principal Item on the manifest. There was about 41.000 "barrels of flour, -nearly all of It for Hong Kong. There was enough lumber stowed away In her capacious hold to load two coasting schooners. The size of the argo taken -out by the Indrapura is very gratifying to- the managers of the new enterprise, as It gives assurance of plenty of -business as soon as the line Is In good working order. The Indrapura took out nearly 2000 tons more than the Indravelll, the first steam er of the line, and the Knight Companion, which Js now en route from Yokohama, will have a full cargo by the time she la 4 ready to sail. She left Yokohama Wed nesday, and will reach Portland about June 17, sailing outward on June 28. The results already achieved by the Portland and Asiatic line have demonstrated two things on which a few business men In this city have in the past been skeptical. One Is that there is plenty of business at this port for a first-class Oriental steam ship line. The other is that Portland's harbor and channel to the sea are in ex cellent condition for Handling 8000-ton steamers. The Indrapura Is a twin sister of the Indravelll, a full description of which has been printed in The Oregonian. The big liners are 400 feet long, and Pilot Pease, who Is taking them up and down the river, has no more difficulty with 'them than waB formerly experienced in handling the San Francisco steamers. The officers of the Indrapura are: Cap tain. A. E. Holllngsworth; first officer, H. C. Jones; second officer, D. E. Harries; third -officer, J. T. A. Scott; chief engineer, J. A. Armsden; second engineer, John Simpson; third engineer, John Morgan; fourth -engineer, John JIackay; steward, R. V. Appleton; midshipmen, 6. Barstow and C R.

Captain Holllngsworth and his associate officers 'keep the big ship In fine order. In spite of the difficulties en countered In handling all classes of freight, and she is equipped with the best Quarters for Oriental passengers that are to be found on any steamer in the Ori ental service.

Stearns Dfalces Some Observa tions on His Eastern Trip Com- racnt oh the 1805 Fair D. H. Stearns returned from the East yesterday, having been several months in the Atlantic States for the purpose of interesting people in Oregon lands and mines. "People are taking greater pains than ever to know just what the con ditions of investments are on this Coast." said Mr. Stearns. "While there is plenty I nanion so ion that she is not satisfied to of good money at he East for investment, the people have lost so heavily In 'the West' that they are generally inclined to put their money into conservative things Ing the Spanish War and the multipliclty of consequences, following It, the Presi dent had no time or opportunity to make the extended journey. He could not leave Washington for any great length of time It was not until after the adjournment of the last Congress, when the books were closed, when the prospects of peace in the Philippines were bright,, when the volunteers were coming home to be mus tered out in accordance "with the limita tions of the law. when the Cuban situa tion 'was presenting a more favorable light, and when our foreign complica tions were In such shape as to not neces sitate his Immediate attention, that the President decided he could make the trip. Continuing, this friend of the President safd that the question naturally arose re garding the illness of Mrs. McKlnley. Now it may be stated that Mrs. McKlnley is very much like a child, and an 'invalid child. She has been ill so long, and Mr. McKlnley has been her constant com- MELONS FROM RUSSIA FORTY-TWO VARIETIES SENT TO THE O. R. fc M. FARM.

A day, 21 hours, two days, is too much for her to" bear, and It is the aim of the President never to leave her longer SOME KINDLY COMMENT. San Francisco Paper Says Portland snd the Columbia Are All Right. It is perhaps natural for Portland to expect the many complimentaary notices which are paid the Columbia River by the Astoria papers, but it Is seldom that the papers printed In rival ports are so gracious as is the San Francisco Bulletin, which prints the following: "Portland is justly proud over the rapid loading of Vheat ships and their prompt movement down the river to Astoria. The Cypromene finished loading at Portland at the close of last week, her cargo of 47,200 sacks having been taken aboard In just 19 hours. These bags contain 103,317 bushels. The Vimeira also finished load ing at Portland last week, having taken on 132.511 bushels of wheat, valued at 8L 015. The tug Harvest Queen took this ship, drawing 23 feet of water, from Port land to Astoria in Just 11 hours and 20 minutes, the quickest time on record for a vessel of her draft. On the previous day the Fulwood was taken down the river between the same points in less than 14 hours. She was down 23& feet. She left Portland in charge of a tug at 4 A. M., and arrived at Astoria at 5:40 P. M. This is excellent work for river naviga tion, and shows the stream to be quite free of shoals and snags of all descrlp tions. i tSjpBBSJMBK'jfcaHWpSMMll!M .?3BMHBBiaWBJMtty jjTMBHaHWH C,".xHK?Sk' II I il Iff I III.

Big: Steamship Sails From New Yorlc on Her Maiden Trip to Pacific. The Oregonian, the second large steam ship to bear the name, has sailed from New York for San Francisco with 9000 tons of miscellaneous merchandise. She Is to be followed in about 10 days or two weeks by the steamer Callfomian in the same line. The American, a sister steam er to the above, is now due at New York on her first trip from "Honolulu, with a cargo of sugar, and she will load back later on. In the meantime the company has chartered the new steel steamer M. S. Dollar, 2500 tons, built at Philadelphia, and now at New York. She is expected to sail for San Francisco about June 30. The steamer Hawaiian, now loading su gar at Honolulu for New York, will follow the aoove on her arrival out. The new steamer Alaskan, recently launched from the Union Iron Works in San Francisco, will go to Honolulu as soon as finished, and load sugar for New York. She is the largest steamer for the merchant marine yet built on this Coast, and there is a contract out for another of equal size, to.-be called the Arizonian. Either the Anfenfean or the Callfornlan will prob ably come to Portland with a portion of her outward cargo, as these steamers are supposed to handle the traffic which was formerly taken care of by the sailing ves sels which used to ply between Portland and Eastern ports In Sutton & Beebe's line. RELIC OF A DISASTER. Life Bnoy Which. May Have Been the Cape Wraths Picked Up. The steamer Willapa, which arrived at Victoria Monday, brought news of the finding of a life buoy at Cape Cook, which may have come from one of the four missing vessels which are supposed to have perished in the terrible gale last December. The buoy had, from Its ap pearance, been floating a long time, and there was but one letter legible. This was a "W" and seemingly the commenc ing letter of a second word in the name which had been on the buoy, giving rise to the opinion that the buoy, which was picked up about three months ago by prospectors on Cape Cook. Is possibly a relic of the lost ship Cape Wrath. The Cape Wrath was one of the vessels lost during during the past Winter, with the Andrada and the Bertha. She was bound from Santa Rosalia for Astoria, and never reached her destination. Whether this buoy -was in reality from the Cape Wrath, no wreckage from which has been found heretofore. Is unknown, for there was nothing to identify the buoy or show whence It came, or how long it had been drifting in the currents, which finally landed it on the jutting point on the west coast. from San Francisco.

I have succeeded, however, in turning the atten tion of a good many strong men to Ore gon, and hope for good results from my trip. There has been a very large revival of interest in vacant Government lands .near the Pacific Coast. ks an incident I started the organization of several colo nies of 'these, who will come and. make homes in Oregon In the immediate future, provided I can find suitable lands open for settlement where the people can lo cate near enough together to suit them. They are well-to-do people, farmers, who, in leaving their present holdings of land must either abandon them entirely or sell them at a very small part of the value they have carried for gen erations previous to- 1893. They are fully impressed with the Import ance of being supplied with means enough to stock and cultivate a good farm, but than Is absolutely neecssary at any one time. It would have been utterly impos sible for the President td have gone to the Pacific Coast or anywhere else on a long journey alone. The life of Mrs. Mc Klnley is so bound up with that of her husband, and he realizes It so 'thorough ly, that it is Impossible to make a sepa ration. Only the most intimate friends of the President understand this thor oughly, and only his immediate family and personal friends understand the bur den ho pears with this Invalid wife. Now the question arises, should he have undertaken the trip, knowing that Mrs.1 McKlnley was in poor health and knojvins that he could hot" leave her behind? The President and Mrs. McKinley's physicians. and some of his "intimate friends (not all, because some advised against the trip), believed that the journey would do her no harm. It was believed that the frequent stops and breaks would afford the invalid sufficient rest between the see an attractive advantage in securing ! lon& rall journeys. During the time thai Chinese Cotton Mills a Failure. NEW YORK, May 30. Evelyn E. Por ter, an electrical engineer connected with the cotton mills at Shanghai, China, Is at a hotel here. He says that the six mills there, each having 40.000 spindles, cannot compete, even with their cheap Chinese labor, with the American manu facturers. . The originators of the plants in China expected large profits, but by the prac tice of the most rigid economy they have been unable to' earn more than 3 per cent on their investment. The women In the Chinese mills, Mr. Porter said, are paid 15 cents per day. He explained that com petition with American-made goods is un successful because an American opera tive can do better work and four times more in a given time than a Chinese. land free in our milder climate and more productive country. New England has al ready give the Pacific Coast many of' Its best people; and it is plain that the ma jority of those It has left are hoping to follow their friends. "Portland is 'In for it' on the 1905 expo sition. It must stand up and do the thing in first-class shape or Its enemies will Mr. McKlnley has been President, fre quent trips have been made between Washington and Canton. Trips have been made, to Lake Champlaln, N. Y., into the heart" of Florida, and to Chicago and to other places, and all of these trips have proven beneficial rather than harmful to the President s wife. The President was firmly convinced that the excitement and have it down before the whole Nation. interest of the trip would Improve rather No aggregation of fake shows and streets of Cairo business will attract a crowd any longer, as may be seen at Buffalo. Big cabbages and big trees are an old story. The exposition of the year 1905 must be a business affair, at which busi ness men of all nations may meet in the interest of mutual trade and expansion. Portland, between the East and the West, is the place, and, having put in its bid early for the opportunity, must meet it with vim in order to put a quietus to the so-often-repeated question: 'How far is Portland from Seattle?' " "Well, yes, I am glad to be home. I had rather be a hermit and live In a cave In one of Oregon's mountains than-a mil lionaire compelled to dwell in the climate of the Atlantic Coast" THE WESTERN MISADVENTURE An Explanation of the McKlnley Trip to the Pacific Coast. WASHINGTON, May 25. No doubt In than Injure his wife's health. He gave the matter a great deal of grave consid eration, and discussed It with his warm est and his closest friends". That his judgment was not justified, as events turned out, was unfortunate, and yet a number of persons familiar with Mrs. Mc Kinley's condition assert that her wonder ful recovery, 4at San Francisco is suffi cient to guarantee the President's belief. Her unfortunate sick spell In crossing through Texas, Arizona and New Mexico, was sqmething that was unlooked for, and not to be taken Into consideration In her case, according to those who understand her health conditions. Had she been able to pass througri that ordeal without any extraordinary Illness, It Is said that she would have been able to have stood the trip all the way through. The unlooked for happened, the unexpected caused the abandonment of the trip. About the time the Presidential party started a great many people discussed the situation, and many who were Intimate at the White House said that there were' others who would not stand the journey as well as Mrs. McKlnley.

Cushlng and-several priests from Denver have arrived In the city en route to Rome to lay before the pope their grievances. They have been at work among the In dians for a number of years In Arizona, New Mexico and elsewhere, and say that when application was made to Bishop Matsu, of Colorado, to return with them to their diocese, he declined. They at tempted to have their differences settled by Cardinal Martlnelli, but Saturday they were refused an audience. The nartv will Sail on Saturday. view of all that has happened, the Presi dent and his wife both wish they had never undertaken the extensive trip through to the Pacific Coast. From a close friend of President McKlnley, your cor respondent learns that the reasons which Induced the President to undertake the trip have not all been made public. In the first nlnee. he had heen nsk-prl by nearly every city and every state along the proposed route to visit them a't some particular time. He had an earnest -desire to visit all of the places that "were upon his schedule when he left Washing ton. He had assured the citizens who had presented him with hospitable Invita tions, that If ever an occasion arose so that he could conveniently, visit their cities or their states he would be glad to avail himself of that opportunity. Dur- serted that she was a good traveler, and that the moving about, change of scene, and the various other happenings that were sure to occur along the route would prove helpful rather than harmful to her. This was evidently the Idea the President had. and he no doubt believed when he left Washington that he would be able to carry out all engagements that had been made, and visit all the points that were upon his schedule when he left the city.

R. & N. farm, near Walla. Walla, this week. R. C. Judson, the company's Industrial 'agent, has received the seed from the United States Department of Agriculture, .and has forwarded it to the farm. Mr. Jud son does not -fear any extensive exodus of the colored -population to yie vicinity of Walla Walla, but "he Is a bit anxious about the busy bee, which doth Improve each Bhining hour. The great point at stake is to raise each variety after its own kind, the light green with vertical bands after its kind, the melon adapted to arid districts after Its kind, etc. To ODtain the best results, pollination must be prevented when the melon is In blos som. Mr. Judson will get ahead of the bee by covering each plant with cheese cloth In the blossoming season.

BAUER Won road race. Big Handicap Gives Portland Boy an Easy Victory. Twenty-one riders finished yesterday In the Uwltnbmah County Bicycle Associa- 1 tion s road race, which was won by Fred Bauer, of Portland, with a handicap al lowance of four minutes over the scratch men. Victor Neal, with 4 minutes start, finished 13 seconds later and took second place. The best time for the 17.6 miles course was made by Joe RIddell, of Mon mouth," whose record was 52:01 from , scratch, finishing ninth and a second ahead of Gus Emerich, who took the sec ond time prize. The largest crowd that ever witnessed a road race In Portland was gathered at the finish at Thirty fourth street, near the Section Line road. Ail the spectators saw was a 3tream of dusty cyclers riding as fast as their tired legs could force their bicycles down the ' narrow space cleared of spectators. The j leaders finished almost alone. Occasional- 1 ly'a bunch of riders would come down the : line together and make an exciting fight for place. Perhaps the mo3t interesting thing about the race was the riding of the RIddell brothers, from Monmouth. There were four of them, and all rode within the prize limit. The race was well handled by the ofll-. clals. The start was made a few minutes after the designated time. The riders who gathered at the starting-place were J notified of their handicaps, ana tne men with the largest allowances were then started on the course. Four and one-half minutes afterward the scratch riders Joe RiddelL Gus Emerich, Wallace Dyer and Henry Perry were given the word to begin their almost hopeless stern chase of the leaders. Checkers were stationed all along tne course to watcn tne com petitors and to see that the rules of the race were observed. The following men were disqualified for riding on the bicycle paths, which was contrary to the rules: Wallace Dyer, Bay Campbell. He3s Faulkner, F. G. Helbock and .Paul Thing. Their infringement, however, had no ef fect on the distribution of prizes, as they did not finish close enough up to the front to be within the limit. When the men were expected at the finish. Marshal R G. Morrow and assist ants did effective service in clearing the road of bicycles and vehicles which were lined up at that point. Bauer was the first rider that was seen coming down the stretch, with a good lead on Neal. the second man. C. H. Thomas was an easy third, arid a couple of hundred yards In the rear a bunch was seen coming In together, all the riders fighting for place. Barren beat the bunch in, and closely fol lowing him were Sollers and Denhoff. After this the riders straggled In one or two at a time until 21 of the 26 starters finished. After the racff hard-luck stories Were In order. Collisions were told and delays by teams recounted. J. . C. Heise was the most unfortunate, having Drot.en tne Tuesday, June 4 and IS, and first and third Tuesdays each month thereafter until Occ tober 15, inclusive. Limit, CO days: stop overs on return trip.
