?nw 10 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, JULY 13,- 1901. CAME UP IN RECORD TIME. CAHGO SHIP ARGUS FROM' ASTORIA IN IiESS THAN 12 HOURS. Mndntrniicar. Pioneer of "Sew Sea- ton Grain Fleet, Sailed Yesterday Xerr Lumber Craft Building. The O. R. & N. Co.s big sternwheeler Harvest Queen made a new record for up-stream towing yesterday with the Brit ish ship Argus, which is just in from Bremen and Rotterdam with a general cargo. She left Astoria at 6:30 yesterday morning, and arrived at Portland at 6:15 last evening. The Ocklahama is said to have towed a 900-ton bark in ballast to Portland in less than 12 hours, but as the Argus is a 1600-ton ship, with half a cargo aboard, the performance lays that of the old boat in the shade. The Argus comes to Balfour, Guthrie & Co., and brings a general cargo, of which cement, Are brick, crockery and liquors form the principal portion. She dis charged a part of her cargo at Honolulu, and as soon as that which remains on board is taken out, she will load out ward with wheat for Europe. FIRST NEW SEASON SHIP. Madagascar Sailed Yesterday Pio neers of Fleet for Past 20 Years. The British bark Madagascar, the first ship of the big fleet which will sail out of the Columbia Rivjer within the next 12 months, crossed out to sea yesterday, and another season is now fully under way. "While the cereal year is figured as beginning July 1, it is seldom that a ship gets clear of the river before the middle of the month, and in the past 20 years but six of the leaders of the fleet got away as early as the Madagascar. Twenty years ago the first of the grain fleet did not get away until September 4. The leaders of the fleets which have sailed from the Columbia River after clearing July 1 or later, for the 'past 20 years, were as follows: 18S2 Aug. 12, Kzzle Bell, Sibson. C. & Co. 1SS3 Sept 4, Rossdhu, Sibson. C. & Co. 1S84 July 13, Red Cross, Balfour, G. &-Co. 18S5 July 4, Had'ngfnshire, Sib., C. & o. lSS6-July 2, Oakworth, C. Caesar & Co. 1SS7 July 15. Warwick Castle, Meyer & Co. 1B8S-July 7. Maiden City, P. F. M. Co. 18S3 July 25, Edinburgh. C. Caesar & Co. 1S90 July 26, India, C. Caesar & Co. 1S91 July 14, Scot'tfeh Hero, P. F. M.

The Lizzie Bell, which pioneered the fleet of 20 years ago, was the fourth ves sel of last season's fleet to sail. The Haddingtonshire, first of the fleet of 18S5-E6, was wrecked on the California coast shortly after leaving the Colum bia, her master and most of the crew losing their lives by the disaster. SCARCITY OF SAILORS. Coasters and Deep Water Ships Are Held Up on Paget Sound. The Coat Seamen's Union has recently advanced wages sailors ehall demand for the run from Tacoma to San Francisco from $40 to 550. In consequence, says the Tacoma Ledger, there was considerable excitement at Old Town Tuesday when the schooner Occidental, lumber-laden for San Francisco, was endeavoring to get a crew to go to sea. The California Ship owners' Association has fixed its scale of sailors' wages at 540 per month. The run from Tacoma to San Francisco gen erally occupies 10 days to two, and seldom three, weeks The union demands that sailors shall be paid 550 for making the run, irrespective of the length of time, which in some instances brings the sail or's pay up to 55 a day when but 10 days are required for the run. Three crews were signed and put aboard the Occidental Tuesday, one after an other, at 540 per month, only to be taken off the vessel by the union. After the third crew had been taken by the- union, no further attempt was made to secure sailors, but the schooner.started for sea in tow of the tug. Off Seattle she was met by a representative of the shipowners' association, who had secured a non-union crew in that city, and they were put aboard the Occidental by 10 o'clock Tues day night. The schooner then proceeded to sea. The scarcity of sailors still continues un abated, and all down-Sound ports are ex periencing trouble. Two loaded wheat ships, the bark Mozambique and the ship Claverdon, have been loaded In the stream for nearly two weeks now, and are not yet fully manned. The Chilean bark Royal Sovereign cleared at the Cus-tom-House yesterday from Old Town with 1,169.000 feet of lumber for "Valparaiso on her owner's account When she will get to sea is a matter of conjecture, inas much as Captain Johanssen has no crew. It is expected, however, that these three vessels can get to sea this week. TOWBOAT NEARLY FINISHED. "Willamette & Columbia River Tow ing: Co. Fitting Up a New Boat. The Willamette & Columbia River Tow ing Company is completing a large stern wheel towboat to be named the F. B. Jones, after, the veteran river man and president of the company. The new craft is lying back of Corbett, Failing & Rob ertson's store and quite a gang of work men aro putting on the final rivets, paint, etc Sfie Is very stanchly built, to stand rough work with logs, sandbars and brush on the down-river creeks, the lower deck being of heavy Oregon fir, with iron bound guards, and the hull plated with sheets of galvanized iron strong enough to run in prohibition whisky. The own ers were unable to get a new boiler, owing to numerous labor troubles, so took the old one off the recently refitted No Won der. This will serve to make steam for a while, but will have to be replaced later. The new craft will be In commission by the end of the month at latest. The old Maria may then be laid off for her turn at the repair shop. The same company is now operating the steam barge Eugene, recently made over from the ill-fated craft of the same name. Mr. Jones has transformed the old craft Into a model cordwood carrier. The deck house and machinery were coupled up into a small space near the stern, in the style of a Great Lakes ore freighter. The deck was then widened and lengthened so that they now have a 'capacity of 300 cords of firewood. The remodeled Eugene . now voyages the down-river creeks in search of fuel for the Portland house holder. On her last trip to Salmon Creek, near St. Helens, some 2S0 cords were brought up that had been cut about 18 months. The old craft does valiant serv ice in her new rig and plugs right along eight or nine miles per hour with her bulky load. CATTLE TRADE DIVERTED. Government Temporarily Discrimi nates Against New York. NEW YORK, July 12. The White Star Atlantic transport National and other steamship companies which handle cattle have been notified that the Government will take no more imported cattle at the National quarantine grounds at Garfield, near Passic, N. J., and that all high blooded animals purchased abroad, and destined for the vicinity of New York will have to come through either Boston, Baltimore or Quebec It is said that the quarantine grounds at Garfield are to be abandoned for new grounds at Athenia, six miles north of Newark, and that un til the new grounds are open no cattle will be received at Garfield. Agents of the steamship companies held a meeting and protested against the ex - elusion of imported cattle from this port, even as a temporary measure, In favor of Boston, Baltimore or other ports, and demanded that the business of the com panies at this port be in no way inter fered with. The result of this meeting was telegraphed to Washington with the additional Information that the steam ship companies would suffer financial loss should the new regulations continue in effect for an indefinite period. Dr. George W. Pope, who is in charge of the quarantine grounds at Garfield, said: "The regulations require the detention of cattle in quarantine here for 90 days. There are about 150 cattle here at present. We have accommodations for about 400. We do not want to take any more here, as it would then be necessary to hold on to the Garfield grounds for 90 days to come." CARGO OF GRANITE. Maine Qnarries Will Ship 3000 Tons to Europe. ROCKLAND. Me., July 12. An innova tion In the, granite industry of Maine, the importance of which can hardly be esti mated, and which marks an era in the granite trade all over the country,' will be introduced here shortly. A cargo of granite will be shipped in August from the quarries of Crotch and Moose Islands, Stonlngton and Hurricane Islands to Liv erpool. This will be the first cargo of American granite ever shipped to any European port, and will be laid down ' In Liverpool at $1 a ton, or $1 25 a ton lesa than Scotch granite can be supplied. England has become alarmed over the, scarcity of this building stone, the Scot land quarries being almost denuded and able to supply only small dimensions, quarried at a great depth. English build ers have lately been importing stone from Sweden and Russia at considerable cost. The first cargo will consist of nearly 3000 tons, and will be loaded direct at tide water. AN EXAMINER STORY. Cork Paper Prints a Sensational Re port of Narow Escape. QUEENSTOWN, July 12, The Cork Ex aminer today prints a sensational story of tho miraculous escape of a great pas senger liner, westward bound, from being wrecked off the Fastnet rocks at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The Examiner says the fog lifted in the nick of time to save the vessel from a fearful disaster. The lightkeeper at Fastnet was horrified to see a steamer from the east running full speed on the Little Fastnet, 400 yards east - southeast. He immediately dis charged an alarm gun, signaling urgent danger. Before the liner could be slowed up or her engines reversed she had ap parently touched the Little Fastnet rock as she was seen to list to starboard and then to port. The onlookers noticed a momentary scene of great excitement on board the liner, but she was apparently uninjured, as she proceeded. NEW LUMBER CARRIERS. Pacific Coast Yards Are All Busy on Big- Schooners. Pacific 'Coast shipyards are just at present turning off more lumber-carriers than ever before. At the Pacific ship building plant at Marshfleld, Or., a four masted schooner 186 feet long. 40-foot beam and 15 feet depth of hold is near ly ready to launch, and in the same yard a big steam schooner will be launched 'in about 60 days At Aberdeen, Wash., a big schooner and two steamers are under construction, and at John B. Hardy's yard at Tacoma a 1,500,000-foot carrier is under construction. Hall Bros. Tiave just launched their 100th vessel at Port Blake ley, and have under construction three other four-masted schooners, the small- est of which Is 170 feet long, 38.8 feet beam and 14-foot hold. The same firm has a contract to build a five-masted schooner 203 feet long, 42 feet beam and 18 feet depth of hold. Brig Wrecked, Crew Saved. NEW YORK, July 12. The Morgan line steamship El Rio, Captain Mason, arrived today from New Orleans, and re ports that on July 9, in latitude 25.50, longitude 85.58, she fell In with the wrecked brig L. F. Munson, from Mobile for Sagua, and took off Captain A. Watt and seven men. The next day a Key West pilot-boat was sighted. Captain Watt, his mate and three seamen were transferred to the pilot-boat, which was bound home. The other three men were brought to this port. The F. L. Munson was built at East Machias in 1871 and hailed from New York. Her tonnage was 357 net. Heavy Oil Shipments. PHILADELPHIA, July 12. Shipments of refined petroleum from this port to Eu rope were never before as heavy or as frequent as they have been within the last 10 days. From the first of the year up to last Saturday 185.359.8S3 gallons had been shipped abroad, against 135,826,718 gal lons for the corresponding period of last year, an Increase of 39,533,165 gallons. Local shippers argue that these large shipments of oil are proof of the superior ity of the American article. There are now In port, waiting to be loaded, as well as en route to Europe, a great fleet of steam and sailing craft, with a capacity of many millions of gallons. Traffic Through Oregon City Locks. SALEM. July 12. The report of the Portland General Electric Company of the traffic through the Oregon City locks during the quarter ending June 30, 1901, shows the following: Number of trips through locks 473 Number of passengers 4,918 Number of horses and cattle 324 Number of sheep and hogs 1,341 Number of feet of lumber 357.002 Number of feet of logs 7.933.457 Number of tons of freight ,....4,701.75 Number of cords of wood...... 783 Two Sealers Drowned. SANTA BARBARA, Cal., July 12. News has just reached here of the drowning off San Miguel Island of Captain Krutzen, of the sealing schooner Santa Cruz, and S. P. Hlllpsen, one of his sailors, by. the swamping of their small boat- Phil An derson, who was with them, was washed ashore and was nearly starved before he managed to reach a camp of Chinese fish ermen. The Santa Cruz had taken 200 seals when the accident occurred. Central American Storm. SAN FRANCISCO, July 12. The Pacific Mall Company's steamer Newport, from Panama and way ports, reports severe storms on the Central American coast. At both Champerico and Ocos she was caught In a hurricane and had to put to sea on each occasion. Her anchor and 30 fathoms of chain were losj. A number of barges and lighters were driven ashore and other damage done at both places, but no lives were lost. Domestic and Foreign Ports. ASTORIA, July 12. Sailed at G: 30 A. M. Steamer Geo. W.

Candidates "Will Be Selected the Last "Week in August. NEW YORK, July 12. The Press says: Probably as early as the last week in August instead of September 18, as origi nally intended, the anti-Tammany commit tee of 100 to select candidates for city offices will be called together. The an nouncement has just been made at Cit izens' Union Headquarters, in Union Square. So many conventions are to be held after the city ticket has been decided upon and so many of the organizations opposed to Tammany must get their candi dates on tho official ballot by petition that It would be almost impossible to accom plish all the preliminaries in the short time elapsing between. September 18 and elec tion day. The Citizens' Union, the Greater New York Democracy, the Independent Democracy and other organizations all must nominate their candidates by peti tion and the work of obtaining 40,000 or .more signatures will take much time. The conference has been adjourned sub ject to the call of the chair, and It is like ly to be called together for business be fore September 1. As soon as the confer ence agrees on the candidate for Mayor, Controller and President of the Board of Aldermen, all the various conventions of the several anti-Tammany bodies will be held. R. Fulton Cutting said that no names of candidates for any of the principal offices had been suggested. There was a conference of independent bodies In favor of good government in the Citizens' Union headquarters last night, and delegations were present from several organizations whose work is other than pohitcal. Mi Cutting presided over the conference, which was called by the Cit izens' Union. The session was secret, and after the meeting Thoma3 A. Fulton, the secretary, said: ."We invited every organization that we thought would take some part In the campaign as well as others that we knew would not. Some organizations sent let ters of regret at their inability to send representatives as "their constitutions pre vented them from participating in a par tisan campaign as a body. We want to arrange so there will be no waste of ef fort For example, take the City Club. It will send out literature. We shall, too. By concert of action much better work can be aone by having this all sent from one source. t PERSONAL MENTION.

Frost and Polk Miller De lighted Large Audience Yester dayVancouver "Won Ball Game. One of the most successful sessions in the history of the Willamette Valley Chautauqua Association will close at Gladstone Park this evening. The at tendance thus far has been large and regular, and the interest in each day's programme gratifying to the friends of the association. The weather could not have been more pleasant and those who have" camped on the grounds since the session opened report a. delightful time The amusements have been perfect in tone and culture. Women and children of refined Oregon homes have camped at Captain. tlra-Hansen, Str. Guernsey. This picture of Captain Krag-Hansen, of the steamship Guernsey, was Inadvertently omit ted yesterday, when- the story of his remark able task In shipping a new shaft and propel ler on the steamer was printed. Captain Krag Hansen has many friends In "this port. He Is a typical representative of the hardy Norwe gian mariner, and has proved himself equal to any emergency that might arise at sea. The captain of the Oak Branch was presented with $1000 by tho 'Underwriters for a similar feat, and Captain Krag-Hansen illl probably be similarly remembered. , oaaaaa Gladstone Park and their acquaintance has ripened into friendship while enjoying the various features of the excellent pro grammes. Judging from the remarks made by the many campers, the woods of Glad, stone Park will contain more family tents than usual next Summer. The most prominent literary features to day were the lecture by Dr. A. J. Frost, of Los Angeles, and Polk Miller's "Old Times Down South" entertainment. Dr. Frost's description of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado was listened to with rapt attention throughout and was so -vivid that -the listeners imagined them selves threading its mighty labyrinths, where magnificent height was coupled with the colors of the flower garden. Dr. Frost said in part: "The Grand Canyon is 218 miles long, nine to 18 miles wide, one and a quarter miles deep. It is composed of seven can yons, one above another, rising In terrace like form. The first is black granite, 800 feet high. The next above is variegated quartslte, 800 feet higher. The next the cliff sandstone formation, 700 feet above that; then the alcove sandstone 500 feet higher still; then the red wall limestone, GOO feet above these; widening out In terrace-like form, one above the other. Then the hardened sandstone, 800 feet, and last Is the tower stone 1000 feet high, surround ed by lofty towers, tipped with summits of alabaster, "white as snow. These walls are of every variety, color, hue and tint. Miss Edith Tupper, of New York City, has written the grandest description of this magnificent scene that could possibly be secured. She says: 'Who ever looks upon the Grand Canyon of the Colorado will realize that he is standing fn the pres ence of the most wonderful panorama on the globe; sublime, beautiful, terrible. No wonder that one's head whirls, and that one instinctively retreats from the verge of that tremendous gorge. " 'Go stand on BIssell Point, and look out over the Grand Canyon. Tier upon tier of ruddy terraces, tower upon tower, castle upon castle, cathedral upon cathe dral, dome upon dome, walls, bastions, fortifications, minaret turrents, every conceivable architectural form rising from that tremendous abyss, colored by the hand of an artist, fretted with the orna mental devices of a skillful builder, fes tooned w.lth delicate traceries of the lace maker, and over all Hovering, broadening, deepening, is a wonderfully soft violet at mosphere, indescribably beautiful in the sunset, touching every peak and pinnacle, cliff and crag with the glory of a city paved with gold. A city not made with hands; eternal In the heavens." " Polk Miller, In the evening, kept an im mense audience in good humor for over an hour by his renditions of the songs, anecdotes and banjo playing of the old time darky "befo' de wah." Mr. Miller was reared on a plantation in Virginia and learned to love the colored boys of his own age as he did his brothers. Last night he portrayed the bright side of slav ery life, and those whose only concep-J tlon of slavery days was derived from "Uncle Tom's Cabin" had their eyes opened to the fact that darkles were very happy in those old days. Mr. Miller's comic lecture was therefore instructive as well as amusing. At 2 P. Mi today he will give his au dience a treat on "Southern Life." He does not blacken his face like minstrels do, but his voice, action and banjo are those of the happy darky, to all Intents and purposes. Vancouver "Won Ball Game. The baseball game between the Vancou cer and Chemawa teams for possession of the cup was won by Vancouver, the score at the termination of the contest standing 19 to 8. The game "was witnessed by a large crowd of interested spectators. The Vancouver boys seemed to have the advantage of self-confldence, as they were the victors of the day before, and so considered themselves easy winners, while the Chemawas became somewhat rattled after the first few innings. The batting of the Vancouvers was much stronger than that of their adversaries and the ball was sent wild of the Chemawa fielders, whose catching on the whole was very good. This game terminated the contest between these teams and the game today will be played by the Vancouvers and Oregon Cltv teamsl merely as an exhibition game. Following is the score: ' Vancouver 0 8 0 3 0 0 0 8 0-19 Chemawa 02-41000108 Programme for Today.

Forum. A new administration is returned to Dower, jar. .tsianK Deiongs io me same party as the Prelsdent-elect. He probably comes to Washington with campaign pledges to honor; or. If he has been wise and made no ante-election promises, he has many true and tried,, friends and po litical followers who are justly entitled to his support, and for whom he desires to obtain some of the appointive offices. The new administration has a policy it desires to carry out, which requires legis lation, and bills are, therefore, intro duced by the party leader. Mr. Blank finds that some of these measures are not to the Interest of his constituency; or, as a man of independent thought, he con scientiously believes they will not be ben eficial to the country. He calls on the Cabinet officers to secure his friends' ap pointment. He is met with pleasant words, and is told that his friend seems to be well indorsed, .but that the matter cannot be determined at present Mr. Blank is then asked what he thinks in regard to the administration measures. The member of the Cabinet is greatly as tonished that he cannot support the ad ministration, and asks him to read some body's report, and consider It from the standpoint of a party man, etc. After he has made his fourth of fifth call, with the same result, he will begin to hear from his friend, who tells him that Congress men from adjacent districts have received appointments, and that the people at home cannot understand why he cannot do something for his district. The ques tion that he has now to decide Is whether he shall submit to become a tool in the hands of the administration, secure the offices, and drift with the parry tides, or shall he be a representative of the people, determining for himself what best con serves their interest and meets t'he de mands of Justice and right. To do this he must return to face angry friends, and must meet the opposition of an unfriendly administration. Within the last four years I have seen at least two men of great ability retire from public life rather than surrender their own Individuality; being unwilling to remain and contend against a hostile administration. The French Girl. Ladles' Home Journal. The programme of what a French girl may or may not do io drawn up very pre cisely. Unless she Is poor and has to earn her own living she never goes out alone. The company of a friend of her own age would not be sufficient to chap eron her. It is an established rule that novel reading is a rare exception. She is entirely subject to her parenta' will In the matter of reading. And If she asks to see anything at the theater except a classical masterpiece or an opera, they will tell her that such a thing is not considered proper, feeling sure of her silent submission. After she Is 15 years old she Is generally allowed to be In the drawing-room on her mother's reception days, but must keep to the modest sec ondary place assigned her; pouring the tea and presenting it, courtesylng to her elders, answering wnen spoken to In short, undergoing her apprenticeship. She has few jewels, and under no pretext any diamonds. Custom does not permit her to wear costly things; nor does It give her the right, in general, to have a money allowance worth speaking of for her personal use. She receives a trifling sum for charity, her boooks, and gloves. A young girl never takes the lead In con versation, but always allows the married lady the precedence, and she finds It quite natural to occupy the background. By the River. Atlanta Constitution.

Y.Oity For fifty years Schlitr beer has been brewed at Milwaukee. From this city it goes to the remotest parts of the earth. The sun never sets on Schlitz agencies. Civilized men do not live where Schlitz beer is not standard. Schlitz beer has made Milwaukee famous. It has given Milwaukee beer the distinction of purity, and. purity is everything, but all Milwaukee beer is not Schlitz beer. People now demand a beer that is healthful, and that demand cails for Schlitz. Schlitz purity is abso lute. Every process is cleanly. Every drop of the product is cooled in filtered air. Every barrel is filtered every bottle is sterilized. Afceer that is aged and pure is healthful. That is Schlitz. 'Phone Main63 (O.T.Co.) J.Silve stonc, 603 Cu. Com.
