TILLAMOOK'S TRAIJK.
Thriving Coa.xt Port' AUs Recogni
tion From the Government.
TILLAMCOK. June 23. The Port of
TillamocV Commission his prepared a.
kngthy report upon the Government im-r-iovemcnts
In Tillamook Bay. which include-
reports of the officials In charge of
the work, the amount of money already
appropriated for what purpose It was
expended, snd the amount of commerce at
this jiort. Affionc other things, the Port
cf Tillamook CommSion demands that
appropriations bo increased to provide for
th purchase aid maintenance of what
Is known ds a B6Wer. dredge. The scope
of flic contemplated Improvements should
al'o be extended frn Sts Bay City ter
minus to below Garibnldi.
The frt ietls als-0 justified In demand
ing a depth cf 10 feet In the channel
from Inside (he pit pa.t Bay City and up .
to the docks a( Tillamook City
A Bowers 1fe(lge Is asked for as a
matter ,of economical handling of the
detritus." The tesUU of relying entirely
upon the'forte of the cMittn-l water's hs
not "been al all Bdtlsfactory at Dry Stock
ing, nor." as. ft matter of fact, at any
other point on the bay. The present
dredger has accomplished more than all
the dikes that hae ever been put In. It
Is to be noted that the dredslng of a
comparativelj small number of places
will give the required depth of 10 fe"t.
In regard to the improvement of Tilla
mook bar, which Is of vital Importance to
Tillamook and the development of the
county and making this the principal lum
bering district of Oregon, the Port of
Tillamook Commission demands as a mat
ter of right, justified by the resources
of the county, by the amount of money
which has been derived by the general
Government from the sale of lands within
the boundaries of the county, and on ac
count of the great consequent Increase of
the value of natural resources of the Na
tion, the establishment and maintenance
of a channel on Tillamook bar carrying
30 feet of water. As to the commerce of
tha .county and the Urine upon Tillamook
Bay, the Port gives statistics which are
taken from the official reports made un
der direction of Captain W. "W. Harts and
Captain W. C. Langlltt, and that of iecent
date, from the 3t of January, 1901, to the
1st of June, i.s as follows: Number of
vessels passing in and over Tillamook
bar, 112; total tonnage. 10,739; passengers
ca-rried, 418: lumber exported, 4.SG8.851 feet,
worth $50,000; and" this almost entirely
from one sawmill in Tillamook Bay.
In dealing with the shipment of lumber,
thv Pdrt says. "In the present condition
of the Tlllumook bar, San Francltco Is
the only available shipping point. Gray's
Harbor, In the State of Washington, Is
perhaps 100 miles further frcm San Fran
cisco than is Tillamook: it is likewise a
lumber shipping port. The difference In
charters between the twb ports Is 51 per
thousand feet In favor of Grab's Harbor.
The loss thus occasioned to Tillamook
shippers during the first five months of
the present year was J5000, while six
months of last year the loss was 57000.
To this absolute direct loss must be added
the Indeterminate Injury resultant from
the refusal of shipowners to make any
charters during five months In the year,
and the consequent paralyzing of the lum-bc-r
'Industry of Tillamook County."
Accompanying the report of the Port
of-Tillamook Commission is a Government
report sent to Captain W. W. Harts,
prepared by the inspector in charge, and
now a -public document. Inspector F. Bat
ter's report says:
"I have the honor to transmit herewith
a. commercial statistical report for the
port of Tillamook for the year ending
December. 1900, which contains some data
pertaining to the resources tributary to
Tillamook Bay, which might be of some
interest- to you:
"Vessels Number of vessels arrived and
cleared from Tillamook Bay ending De
cember 31, 1900, 61: passengers arrived by
sea. CSS; passengers departed by sea, 510.
"Imports General merchandise, 3415
tons, average value 5123 per ton; total
value. S426.S75. The general merchandise
Included -salt, feed, flour, hardware, boots
and shoes, ready-made clothing, groceries,
dry goods, etc.: In fact, everything Import
ed, which Is needed" to supply the wants
of some SO00 prosperous Inhabitants.
"Exports -Ivumber, 7,290,000 feet, board
measure, valued at $12 per thousand; total
value. 5SS.CS0. Mr. C. B. Hadley, superin
tendent of the Tillamook Logging Com
pany, informs me that his company has
over 12,000.000 feet of sawlogs in the waters
of Tillamook Bay, and some of its trib
utaries, and. that the sawmill wharves
are covered with lumber awaiting ship
ment. These conditions are due to their
Inability to secure vessels to carry lum
ber from Tillamook Bay.
"Dairy products, canned and salt sal
mon, chlttlm bark and hides, 3640 tons,
with an approximate value of 10 cents per
pound, or total value of J72S.000.
"In cattle of all kinds, the number is
estimated to have been about 6000 head,
sold at an average price of $20 per head,
or a total value of $120,000. Parties con
sidered responsible inform me that some
60 head of good horses were shipped out
of Tillamook County "during the year,
which were sold at an average price of
$100 per head, or a total value of $6000;
swine, $500: sheep. $1050.
"It Is generally understood, or known,
that there are about 21 townships of good
timber land tributary' to Tillamook Bay.
The estimate made of above timber lands
Is 5,000.000 feet to each quarter section,
or a total number of feet, board measure,
of timber of 15,120,000,000. The above esti
mate has been made from the report or
estimate of a number of persons who are
considered competent, cruisers of timber
lands. Its value cannot he given here for
the reason that the price paid for stump
age varies from -50 cents to $2 per thou
sand feeti" board . measure, depending
largely upon the location of the timber
and the facilities for shipping same. As
evidence- in support of the above est!
jnatea, I note .that the .records of TUla-
S? ft?' fn?1 5S ma , Arne JDua5 ' British iWt no longer outnumbers nil
tn.s fv jnJ hc one- of the March h!ps .,othcrs- Thcrc aro fc r Xorweglnns than

mook County show that up to March 1,
1900, about 170,000 acres of timber land ha3
been taken up under cash entries, the pur
chasers paying the United States Gov
ernment 52 50 per acre outside the railroad
limits.
"It is reported that measures of lignite,
or brown coal, ha'e been located between
the waters of the Nehalem and Tillamook
Bay, but their extent and marketable
qu.illty is not sufficiently known to ap
pear by figures In this report."
Inspector Batter's report closes by say
ing that the improvement of Tillamook
bar and bay must be taken up In two
separate, distinct propositions. The bay
project Involves a continuance of the
wi-rk heretofore undertaken, and now In
progress, that is, the Improvement of the
chinnels Inside the bay.
T2ie Port of Tillamook Commission cites
a long report of Captain W. W. Harts,
gh2ng Information in detail concerning
ths location, original condition, history of
improvements and other data concerning
the improvements in Tillamook Bay.

NEED FOR A MARKET.
Correspondent Urjres Restoration
of Mechanics' Fair Block.
MONTAVILLA, Or., June 23. (To the
Editor.) In your issue of today appears
an Item headed "Vegetable Peddlers Must
Move." Probably the greater majority
of Portland's citizens on reading It will
not give it a second thought. It is, how
erevr .rather a serious matter to a large
and I think I may say deserving, and cer
tainly hard-working class of people. In
all probability not 5 per cent of Portland's
population know of the early morning
market, yet the bulk of the city's supply
of fruit and vegetables changes hands
here every morning In the Summer sea
son, to the -amount of thousands of dol
lars. Perhaps a slight history of the ori
gin of this market might not be out of
place. Twenty years ago there was no
such thing. Farmers and fruitgrowers
peddled their produce from door to door.
Then the Chinese commenced to peddle
fruit from baskets as they had long be
fore done vegetables. Finding this profit
able, a great many of them bought
horses and wagons and In course of time
handled a large portion of berries and
other fruit. This necessitated some plate
to meet, and It became the custom to
gather at Second and Alder, where the
market was established for a number of
years. Becoming a nuisance, on account
of keeping people in the vicinity awake
early in the morning, the traders wre
compelled to mo'e and have been kept
on the move ever since.
Now it seems to the writer that this
is a bad state of affairs, both for the
growers and dealers as well as contain
ing an element of danger. Just think of
the consequences should -a Are break out
in the vicinity, with two or three blocks
i crowded with wagons, so that the streets
are almost impassable. Nor' does this mat
ter affect the growers and peddlers only.
A large and increasing number of can
nerymen, commission merchants and gro
cerymen find it convenient and-profitable
to buy their supplies in open market,
where they have more choice, and can
compare one grower's produce with an
other, side by side.
.Now lp is the miter's .belief that there
Is no other large city in the United States
where such a state of affairs exist. Then,
too, the remedy Is very simple. Let the
city turn over the block on which the
old Mechanics' Fair building stands,
-which in all justice belongs to the public,
for a market place, and the thing Is ac
complished. A short time ago a commit
tee was appointed by the Evening Star
Grange to wait on the City Council and
ask that the block be so given up and
dedicated, as was the intention of the
rencrous donor, but their communication
"was treated with contempt and laid on
or under the table. Hoping that you will
not treat this the same way, I am re
spectfully yours, H. FREEBOROUGH.
EAST SIDE NEWS.
Itev. liar Palmer Not Forced to Re
tire Because of His Opinions.
In the report of the meeting held In
the Metropolitan Theater Monday even
ing and addressed by John G. WooKey,
the following paragraph In yesterday
morning's Oregonlan created a small
sensation among the members of the Sec
ond Baptist Church, East Side:
An announcement was made that Re Ray
Palmer, who had forfeited his position as pat
tor of a Portland church on account of being;
MMdfast to prohibition, would address the
prople of the cltv at Metropolitan Theater, on
Jul" 14.
Rev. Ray Palmer Ins been pastor cf
the Second Baptist Church for the past
five years, and will so continue until his
reilTnatlon takes effect August 1. when
he will leave for ChllHcothe. Mo. Mr.
Pa'nifr's resignation was unexpected.
While some of his congregation thought
he had devoted too much time to outside
matters, the relatl ns of pastor and pro
pte have alwiys b -n plasant, and th
members resent the imputation that "he
had forfeited his position as pa.stor" be
cause of his devotion to piohibltlon. Last
Tlirrsday evening al the jnyer-meet'ng
It was voted that his resign ttlon should
not be accepted, but this vote was re
concldrred' nt Mr. I'almi -'; request.
Wl I'.e the members ar" relrsint to dis
cuss the Imputation In th- announce
ment, they declare that there Is no truth
In It. W. B. Hall, a menibe- of the of
ficial board. Is verv outspoken. He de
Clares that an explanation will have to
come, from some source, ruu that tho
Second Baptl.M Church will not rest un
der the announeerrent that the pistor
h.is been forced to fet out on account of
hi? advocacy of prohibition. Mr. Hall
raid that there is no foundation what
ever for the announcement, and that un
less an explanation be made at once the
church will take the .matter up. and as
certain who is responrfble for the state
ment made 'n so public a way. Mr. Pal
mer Is at Falem attending the sessions
of the Ript'st convention and will not
return until tomorrow. He may be able
to throw some light on the subject on his
return.
Brooklyn School Gradnatlon.
Commencement exercises were held
yesterday afternoon at the Brooklyn
school. East Side, and nine were gradu
ated. The class was composed of Pearl
Bishop, Nleta Daue. Ernest Bruce. Olga
Gunderson. Irene Scott. Ethel Havely,
Florence 'Henkle. Rex Randall and Joe
Duncan. "Evangeline" was the subject
of the programme, which consisted of
songs, and extracts from the poem. The
exercises opemed with the singing of
Longfellow's "Excelsior" by the class,
Longfellow's biography was read by Miss
Ethol Havely. and Miss Irene Scott told
how the poet came to write "Evmge
Hnr." A Canadian boat song, by the pu
pils made a pleasing finish to the reci
tations. Miss Verdi Monroe concluded
the Xongfelkw exercises by a charming
solo, "The Btrldge."
Rev. H. W." Kellogg- delivered a short
addiess, full of amusing stories, from
which he drew very apt lessons and mor
als. He complimented the class on the
exercises and sold thit Longfellow was
regarded as the universal poet. The
world claimed h!m as Its own. Contin
uing, Mr. Ke-llogg said that the story of
"Evangeline" Is one that touches the
heart with Its pathor?. The heart, he
said. Is the seat of the loftiest senti
ments wherein dwell love and harmony.
The world Is controlled by brain and
heart, and the speaker Intimated to the

WANT AMERICAN GOODS
OUR COTTONS FAST GROWING POP
ULAR IN CHINA.
Imports Have a Little More Than
Doubled in the Last Ten.
Ycnrs.
WASHINGTON, June 25. The growing
popularity of American cotton goods In
China Is evidenced by some figures con
tained In the report on the foreign trade
of China for the year 190), a copy of which
has recently been received at the Treasury
Bureau of Statistics. The report opens
with a discussion of the wonderful ex
pansion of China's foreign trade, and,
after commenting upon trjta Interruption
cf this growth due to the unsettled con
ditions during the latter half of 1000. um
jnarlzes the principal features of the trade
as follows:
"The close of the decade offers a con
venient opportunity for a general review
of the progress of trade. With some ex
ceptlohs. the trade In cotton piece goods
has remained practically stationary, and
In some items has even fallen off. The
exceptions are American drills, jeans and
sheetings, which show a strong advance,
and cotton ilnncl, principally American,
and cotton lastlngs. which arc evidently
increaslnt !n favor. English cotton yarn
has hot progressed, while Indian and
Japanese yarns have advanced rapidly.
Amonsr sundries, cand'.ts, clocks and
watches, .aniline dyes, window glass,
ralnts and perfumery have gradually in
creased in demand: while flour, kerotene
oil, matches and soap have been Import
ed in much larger quantities every year.
"As regards heavy cotton goods, the
expansion In American manufactures at
the expense of British Is natural, and
mu.it be expected to continue. Proximity
to China, cheapi r freights and the evident
advantage cf u:;lng Indigenous cotton are
rail frxtors which will contribute to the
future expan.ion of the American trade."
The imports Into China have Increased
steadily and rapidly during -the decade,
Increasing front 127.093.4S1 Halkwan fads
in 1850 to 264.74Srf436 taels In 1S99, and con
tinuing this rate of Increase up to the mid
dle of 1900, following which date there
was a marked contraction in the volume
of trade consequent upon the unsettled
condition of the country. Even with this
setbaok the Imports In 1900 amounted to
211,070,2 Halkwan taels, a sum In ex
cess ot any previous year save 1899. The
share of the United States In this grow
ing r?rade Js gratifying. In 1S95 we sup
plied less than 3 per cent of the imports
Into China; In ISOO we supplied nearly 8
per cent. This growth is the more re
markable vhen It Is remembered that
American goods for the most part reach
China at the port of Shanghai and are
t'hence redistributed through the ports of
Nleu Chwang. Tien Tsln and Che Foo,
located in the section most largely af
fected by the recent troubles. These
three ports sustained a loss of over 50 per
cent In their 1900 Import trade, as against
a loss of only about 20 per cent? for China
as a whole.
Some Idea as to the future of American
cotton goods In the markets of China, with
the restoration of normal conditions, may
be obtained by the citation of a few rep
resentative items In this line of manu
factures. In 1S95 the importation of Amer
ican drills into China amounted to 518,402
pieces: In 1S99, to 1626,107 pieces. Of Amer
ican sheetings the Imports Into China in
1895 amounted fo 762,095 pieces; In 1899 to
3,975,903 pieces. Of American Jeans, the
imports In 1895 were 21,798 pieces; in 1899,
126,303 pieces; and in 1900, 137,366 pieces.
Of the cotton drills imported into China
in 1900. amounting to 1,024,634 pieces, 805,892
pieces were American, and of the cotton
sheetings Imported in 1900, aggregating
2,962,876 pieces, 2,312,494 pieces were Ameri
canthe proportion of American- in each
case being In 1900 .about 80 per cent, as
against 70 per cent of the drills and 55
per cent of the sheetings Imported in 1895.
China has somewhat decreased her im
portations of kerosene oil since 1898; those
of the American being" 50,0S4,015 gallons

WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.
Rains
for the Past Weelc
Generally Beneficial.
Were
The fore part of the past week was
warm In the west portion of the s-tate and
showery and moderately warm in the cast
portion. A marked change to cooler
weather occurred Saturday In all parts of
the state, and since then It has continued
cool, with frequent small showers In the
Willamette Valley, the coast district and
Southern Oregon, and with considerable
cloudiness, but no rain. In Eastern Ore
gon, and the Columbia River Valley above
The Dalles. The rains In Southern Ore
gon will prove especially beneficial, as
droughty conditions have prevailed In that
district during the last few -weeks, but In
the Willamette Valley and Coast region
they are not needed, and win damage con
siderable cut clover and still further de
lay the growth of corn and 'beans, which
now need warm and sunshiny weather.
The maximum temperature during the
week in Western Oregon ranged between
58 and 87 degree, and the minimum tem
peratures between 48 and 57 degrees. In
Eastern Oregon the maximum tempera
tures ranged betwen 56 and 90 degrees, and
the minimum temperarures betwen 36 and
60 decrees.
Fall wheat is ripening nicely, and even
that reported damaged by frost Is recov
ering and will yield better than formerly
expected. In the Willamette Valley the
wheat crop Is generally In good condition
and remarkably free from insect pests.
There is some complaint of its heading
short, and of the heads being small, but
these complaints are not general. . In
Southern Oregon the wheat crop will be
below the average on account of dry
weather. Winter oats are heading nicely;
and Fall barley Is ready to cut In South
ern Oregon. Corn and gardens, although
showing improvement, are still backward.
Hops are making a good growth, and as
yet have not been damaged to any note
worthy extent by lice. The cutting of
clover hay Is well advanced, and the first
crop of alfalfa has been pretty much all
cut and secured. Potatoes are doing
-welL Pasturage continues abundant, and
stock: is in excellent condition. In Coos
County cutworms have again made theh
appet-rance, and large quantities of rhelr
eggs are to be found on the underside of
fence rails, and In similar places. They
have not yet done much damage, but
farmers aro apprehensive that they will
later.
The strawberry season is drawing to a
close, and the crop has proved to be a
very good one, both In quantity and qual
ity. Cherries ripened rapidly during the
week. Apples are dropping badly in the
Hood River district.

without insurance. They would say you

is even greater not from fire, but from the chemicals
and strong soaps used in the laundry. Wise women
insure their finer, more delicate and perishable things
against this risk, and the premium they pay is the
trifling cost of Ivory Soap. That guarantees protection.

DAIRYING IN THE VALLEY
THE BREED OF COW'S, THE RICH
NESS OF MILK.
Some Practical Advice From Profes
sor Splllmnn, of Wnnhlnpcton Ag
ricultural Experiment Station.
PULLMAN, Wash., June 22. (To the
Editor.) On a recent visit to the Willam
ette Valley I found a very marked In
terest in dairying. As dairying Is new
to many of the farmers In the Valley, it
occurs to me that a few suggestions on
methods of Improving a dairy herd would
not be out of place. It Is out of the
question for most farmers to buy herds, of
dairy cows, partly because they have not
the means, and partly because the cows
are not to be had. It will, therefore, be
necessary for the farmers to raise their
own herds. In order to do this successful
ly there are a few rules which must be
observed. In the first place there is no
question about the adaptability of the
vahey to dairying. Nor Is there any
question about dairying being a profitable
Industry for the farmer. If Intelligently
pursued. It will be especially profitable
fqr those who are so situated as not to
have to hire help. It gives opportunity
for several members of the family to find
employment at something profitable
throughout the year, which ordinary
grain farming does not do.
The most Important step In the begln
nlrj la to secure a bull of good dairy
stock. The breed depends largely upon
what cattle the farmer may happen to
have. It is not wise to be changing from
one breed to another, for it is Impossible
by such means to fix the dairy type in the
herd. If a farmer already has grade Jer
sey he should stay by the Jersey. If
he has Holstelns he should stay by them,
as they are an excellent breed of cattle.
If his cattle ore ordinary so-called "scrub"
cattle, that Is, cattle of no particular
breed, It does not matter particularly
which of the dairy breeds he adopts, pro.
vlded he stays with the same breed. The
matter of breed is far less Important than
the Individuality of the bull itself. Never
use a bull whose mother and grandmoth
ers were not fine dairy cows. If a farmer
wlli always secure a bull calf whose three
nearest female ancestors have each given
as much as a pound and a half of butter
u. day he will be practically certain to
raise the standard of his herd.
In addition to Introducing .good blood
Into his herd It Is also necessary to elim
inate unprofitable cows. The best way to
do this Is to keep a record of the amount
of milk each cow gives and test the milk
at least once a month with a Babcock ma
chine. A great many farmers In the
State of Washington are doing this and
I do not know of a single Instance where
such records are kept without their en
abling the farmer to make dairying dis
tinctly profitable. A very convenient way
to keep such records Is to rule a sheet of
paper, placing the names of the cows at
the top and the days of the month down
the left hand margin. Place this sheet
on a smooth board, convenient to the
milking place. Hang near It a pair of
cheap Spring scales and weigh and record
each cow's milk at each milking. While
this Is the best system it will answer fair
ly well It such a record Is kept, say, for
the first three days of each month.
In securing a sample of milk to test.
It must be remembered that the test of
. cow's milk may vary considerably from
one milking to anothen The test of a
single milking Is. therefore, of very little
value. The best plan Is to secure a num.
ber of half-pint fruit Jars and place the
name of each cow on one of these Jars.
At each milking, after thoroughly mixing
a cow's milk, dip out a small quantity
and place in her Jar. Do the same for
three or four mllklngs. Each Jar will
then contain a composite sample of a cer
tain cow's milk. The test of this sample
may be relied on as representing fairly
well the average richness of her milk.
Having a record of the amount of milk
a cow gives and of Its richness. It Is an
easy matter to find how much butter fat
each cow gives. Those cows that do not
give enough to be profitable should be
taken out of the dairy herd and prepared
for the butcher.
If these methods of breeding and han
dling the dairy herd are adopted and In
telligent methods of feeding ere practiced
-here is no question that dairying will be
profitable. W. J. SPJXLMAN.

How a Man Got a Situation In a
Chicago BunineM House.
"Strict and unquestioning obedience,
-which is one of the first attributes of a
soldier, does not apply only to the mil
itary," said a Western business man to
a Star repot ter the other day. "As a verv
forcible example." he continued, "I rec
ollect the circumstances under which I
obtained my first start in life. I had
applied for a position In a large business
concern in Chicago as a clerk. The head
of the firm was a gruff, stiff-backed In
dividual, who would not countenance op
position or questions of any sort, and I
had been told that If he should shout out
a demand for an elephant an employe
would board a car for the nearest zoo
without the slightest hesitancy. He ex
amined all applicants in person, and' I
shall never forget the day that I stum
bled into hl3 den and seated myself at
the typewriter to show my paces.
"Without delay he started in: 'Messrs.
Jones. Brown & Co..' he growled, and I
had It down. 'Kindly go to .' There
were 14 sharp clicks from the machine,
and, with my eyes straight before me, I
waited for what next. 'That's all. he
said, and left the rpom. but pot before I
saw a taint twinkle in his eye. Some
how I felt that I had won. and I had.
I heard afterward that four other appli
cants, surprised out of themselves by
this most unusual dictation, had turned
to the author with a questioning tookrf.and
thereby been summarily scowled at and
told that they wouldn't do."
