THE HORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, JULY i7," 1901.
FORTY-SHILLING LIMIT
XORjGi TRAMP STEAMERS APPEAR
T FREISHT REGULATORS.
T'OHrteen Already1 Under Charter for
Pacific Coast Grain Loading
Mtrate Freights Higher.
.Two mora big steamships are reported
under charter for grain loading at Port
land -with the option of San Francisco,
making a total of 14 steamers already
chartered for this business this season.
Two of these vessels are already loading,
the Pak Ling at Portland, and the Kin
tuck at Puget Sound, and the others will
not be along -until later In the season.
Both-of- theSe latest additions to the list
are big carriers, and both are new ves
sels, one of them, the Crusader, being
on her maiden trip. The Crusader Is a
British vessel of 4205 tons gross, and 2752
tons net register. The other steamer Is
the Austrian steamship Borneo, which
was built last August. She registers 36S5
tons gross, and 2400 tons net, and is char
tered for September-October loading. The
charter of these steamers at a uniform
rate of 40 shillings for one port, or 41s 3d
lor two ports, would Indicate that the lim
it for freights for the present would be
at that figure.
With so many steamers obtainable at
this rate, there is not much chance for
any higher figures until conditions change
elsewhere. At the same time, the strength
of nitrate freights Is such that any de
cline of consequence below that figure
does not seem possible. That the nitrate
men are forced to pay up to the 10 shill
ings differential' between their ports and
the North Pacific wheat ports, is shown in
a number of charters recently made. The
British bark Semantha, which has car
lied several wheat cargoes out of Port
land, and is now in good position on the
fires! coast of South America, has accept
ed a charter to load there at 29 shillings
In preference to coming north in ballast
Tor a higher rate. The Lakemba, another
well-known wheat-carrier, has been char
tered for the same business at 30 shillings
for September-October? and the Anglesey
at 29s 6d for October. The steamship En
deavour is reported fixed for nitrate load
ing in January, 1902, at 31s 3d lor United
kingdom by way of St. Vincent for or
ders. In former years San Francisco, through
receiving a large number of cargo ships,
wastfnabled;to secure lower charter rates
than those paid out of northern ports, but
this season no apparent difference is .made,
und if freights should take an upward
Jpurt, the Bay City will be forced to pay
higher rates than will be paid Irom Port
land, as this port Is better situated from
a statistical standpoint.
XEW TRAAS-ATLAXTIC LIXE.
Canadians" to Slake a Bid for Amer
ican Trade.
OTTAWA, Ont., July 15. The Depart
ment of Trade and Commerce has decided
lo -establish a fast Atlantic . steamship
tervlce. This decision "has just been
Reached, although the proposition has
een discussed for the past five years.
The government appears to have been In
fluenced In coming to its decision by sev
eral considerations. First, there is a be
lief that while the Canadian route, af
fording,, as It does, the shortest sea voy
fcge between this continent and Europe, is
bound to become the popular one In time,
diversion of the best-paying passenger
traffic from the New York route will be
gradual. There Is also the requisite of
freight accommodation for the transpor
tation of perishable products, but the
Gomlnant influence is doubtless the hope
!hat in a few years the jealousy of the
rival Canadian ports will have disap
peared and public opinion will have set
tled upon the port which permits of the
shortest ocean voyage as the Canadian
terminal for a fast Atlantic steamship
service.
In competition with New York, Quebec
is regarded as being simply out of the
Question. "With the exception of perhaps
i few weeks in the very early Spring,
Ihe "harbor of North Sydney is the most
accessible and safest, as well as the larg
est port In Canada, but time as well as
pronounced public opinion will, It is be
lieved, be required to overcome the preju
llces of those who generally demand that
Ihe terminus shall be at Quebec, Hall
lax, or St John.
LAST OF THE FEBRUARY FLEET.
French Bark Bossnet Arrived at
Qucenstovrn Yesterday.
The French bark Bossuet, the last ship
if the February fleet, arrived out at
Sueenstown yesterday, after the slowest
passage made by any of the ships leav
ng that month. She was 147 days in mak
ing the run, or 13 days slower than the
iverage time of the other eight ships
B-hlch arrived out ahead of her. The fast
est passage of any of the February fleet
Vas made by the Llka in 119 days, the
Province coming next in a passage of 123
lays. The La Rochefaucauld made the
un in 125 days, Alsterkamp 136 days, Dora
Ind Scottish Hills 139 days, Hassia 140,
tnd General de Bolsdeffre 145 days. While
ill of tthe February fleet from Portland
ias arrived but, no other port on the Pa
!lflc Coast can make so good a showing.
There are still four ships out which sailed
!rom Tacoma In February, and one of
Ihe February fleet from San Francisco has
lot-yet arrived on the other side.
PAK LIXG IS LOADING. -
China Mntnal Liner "Was Heady for
Cargo on Arrival at Portland.
The steamship- Pak Ling commenced
padlng wheat yesterday at Montgomery
lock.: No.. 1, and, will be dispatched as
rulckly as possible. T"he steamer was
lned before arrival, and also has all of
ler supplies aboard. Frank "Waterhouse,
Hio has charge "of the China Mutual's
Justness on Puget Sound, came round
pith the vessel. The schedule for Seat
tle's famous round-the-world .line calls for
jhe sailing of thePak Ling from Seattle
July. 10, and the Klntuck July 15. As the
Klnfcuck was forced to go to Tacoma for
cargo, and the Pak Ling to Portland,
cattle's Interest in this line is becoming
trifle indistinct. As a point for paying
jecord-breaking rates for Government
Transports; Seattle is all right, but when
comes to handling business on busl
tess principles, -there are apparently
Ither ports on earth.
POSSIBLY A WRECK.

ORDERED FENCE TORN DOWN
Judge Bellinger Decides Against
Jesse D. Cnrr.
In the case of the United States vs
Jesse D. Carr, charged with inclosing 84,.
W0 acres of public lands, Judge Bellinger
In the United States Court yesterday
handed down a decision in favor of the
Government. He found that Carr, with In
tent to encroach upon the public lands
of the United States, and to monopolize
the use thereof for his own benefit, did
enter upon such lands and in an Illegal
manner construct and maintain, and still
maintains, a fence, which, with natural
barriers with which it is connected, forms
an inclosure which contains 84,335 acres of
public lands of the United States.
The court made an order enjoining de
fendant from further maintaining a fence
around this land, and directing the United
States Marshal of this district to remove
the fence if it is not taken away within
five days.
From the notices published in regard
to this celebrated and bewhlskered case,
the public must be quite familiar with It
It first came up In the United States
Court here in Judge Deady's time, some
12 years ago, but no decision was reached
here. Part of the land Inclosed lies In
California, adjoining the Oregon line and
some 10 years ago, under President Cleve
land's Administration, suit was brought
against Carr In the United States Court
for the District of California, and then,
as now, a decision was made in favor of
the Government and the fence was ordered
torn down. It Is said that the United
States Marshal for California tore down
some panels of the fence, and that after
he left these were soon rebuilt, and that
not long after this Marshal's term having
expired he accepted a position as foreman
of Carr's extensive ranch.
Just why the matter has been allowed
to sleep all the years since Is not known,
but Carr now says he has not taken an
acre of Government land, and does not
intend to surrender any of his land. As
he Is very wealthy, it Is supposed he will
take the case up to the United States Su
preme Court, and probably It TVill be final
ly decided some day.
Court Notes.
The Guaranty Savings & Loan Associ
ation has sued William J. Holt and wife
to recover $323 and to foreclose a mortgage
on lot 2, block 10, Hyland Park. Holt
borrowed $400 in 1892, payable in 84 pay
ments. James D. Hennessy, who was recently
sued by his partner, H. S. Stephenson,
for a dissolution of copartnership and
an accounting, yesterday filed suit against
Stephenson In the State Circuit Court for
$10,000 damages for defamation of char
acter. The Guaranty Savings & Loan Asso
ciation has sued Martin L. Morgan to
foreclose a mortgage on the west one-half
of lot 13, Washington addition, on which
a balance of $526 Is alleged to be due. In
terest from June, 1S97, Is demanded. The
loan was $700, made In 1894.
R. G. Church and E. J. Church, exe
cutors of the will of William Church, Sr.,
filed a report in the County Court yes
terday. It is stated that they are not "pre
pared to dispose of any of the real prop
erty, of which there Is considerable, at
this time. The claims amount to $1500.
The executors advanced funds to pay a
number of claims.
B. F. Slnshelmer was appointed by the
County Court yesterday administrator of
the estate of George W. Frantz, de
ceased, valued at $C500. The property
comprises an undivided one-half interest
in a candy store, and 480 acres of land.
The heirs are the wife, Elizabeth Frantz;
J. H. Frantz, a son, and Abbie I. Slns
helmer, a daughter.
Flora Herbert and I. M. Herbert, her
husband, have begun suit in the State
Circuit Court against the Washington
National Building, Loan & Savings Asso
ciation, asking to have a building and
loan mortgage contract declared usurious.
Mrs. Herbert owns a lot In Atkinson's
addition, and borrowed $1200 from the
company, to be repaid in seven years In
monthly Installments of $19 80 each. It
Is charged in the complaint that 12 per
cent Interest was exacted, and that, al
though ' $1425 has been paid on the loan,
the defendant still demands $750, which is
about $500 more than the plaintiffs cal
culate that they are entitled to pay.
Jung Jow Tow, a Chinaman arrested for
being unlawfully in the country, had an
examination before United States Com
missioner Sladen yesterday, and was
ordered deported. He had a certificate
Issued under the law of 1892, entitling him
to remain in this country, but as the
law of 1892 was repealed in 1893 and made
more stringent by the addition of new
provisions, Commissioner Sladen held that
the law of 1893 rendered his certificate of
1S92 worthless and consequently he must
be deported. An appeal was taken from
this decision to Judge Bellinger, before
whom the matter was argued yesterday
afternoon, for the purpose of settling the
status of certificates of 1882. At the con
clusion of the argument the case was
taken under advisement by the court,
and the Chinaman remanded to jail to
awalf a decision.

Another meeting of the .school-book men
was held yesterday at the Portland
Hotel, but not all the arrangements for
handling the new books for the Oregon
schools were completed. It Is not merely
a matter of saying who shall distribute
the books in Oregon. The contractors
are required to give bond for the ob
servance of all their agreements with
the state and they must see to it that
none of their agents are permitted to vio

THE LATE THOMAS SMITH, PIONEER STEAMBOAT ENGINEER.
Thomas Smith, one of the 61dpst marine engineers in the Northwest, died in
this city early yesterday morning at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. E. S.
Jackson, aged C5 years. Mr. Smith was born in Baltimore, and came to this
state with his father, the late T. V. Smith, in 1850. In that year he assisted
his father In placing the engines in the little ateamship Columbia, the first
steamer built on the river. He afterwards ran on the same steamer for
nearly a year, and went from her to the steamer Lot Whltcomb. He was sub
sequently engaged as engineer on -the pioneer steamers Blackhawk, Multnomah,
Eagle, Hoosler, Cariemah, Senorlta and Mountain Buck. In the '60s he was
with the O. S. N. Co. on the upper and middle rivers. He went to Puget Sound
with the Wilson G. Hunt in 18GS, and remained with the steamer for a year
after her arrival there. On his return he was at various times employed as
chief engineer on nearly all of the eteamers owned by the O. S. N. Co. and
its successor, the O. R. & N. Co. He left the river at Intervals for engineering
work on shore, but always returned aain, and, with the exception of the vet
eran, John Marshall, who Is still In the service, probably traveled more miles on
a steamboat than any engineer who ever ran on the Columbia and Willamette
Rivers. Mr. Smith was for over Ave years chief engineer on the steamer T. J.
Potter, and always took a great deal of pride In the work of that boat. Although
suffering greatly from rheumatic gout, which prevented him from moving around
except at the cost of severe pain, he went down to take a farewell look at the big
sidewheeler less than two weeks ago. His ailment compelled him to give up act
ive work four years ago. His many years service on the passenger steamers
gae him a wide acquaintance, and hundreds of friends will feel the deepest regret
at the passing of genial "Tom" Smith, the skilled engineer, the thorough gen
tleman, and the pioneer who played well his part in the upbuilding of the commonwealth.
yet been solved In Oregon. It Is believed,
however, that the new contractors will
be able to do this by giving the retailers
more liberal terms than they have en
joyed heretofore, and making arrange
ments that will tend to greater care in
the observance of agreements.
The American Book Company would
not supply a retailer until he had signed
an agreement to sell for the contract
price. Every dealer In public school
text-books in the state Is said to have
signed such agreement. Yet It Is well
known that retailers In some parts of
the state charged more than the author
ized price for the books. In a few places
less than the contract price was asked,
and in those cases, of course, there was
no cause for complaint. But those who
charged unauthorized prices were repre
sentatives of the contractor and as such,
were opening the way to the infliction of
a penalty upon their principal, whose
bond, conditioned upon the faithful per
formance of contract, the state held.
The retailers, acting for the contrac
tor and selling for a greater price than
the bargain with the state permitted,
violated the contract. This practice the
new contractors wish to guard against.
One of the methods under consideration
is to give retail dealers, no matter In
what part of the state they may be lo
cated, the same discount, the
same margin of profit. This would
put dealers in Portland, Ashland,
Lakevlew, Burns. Prlneville, Gold Beach
and all other towns In the state on pre
cisely the same baslg. The books would
be delivered to them In their stores for
prices named to them and the discount
would be uniform through the state.
This arrangement, It is argued, would do
away with much of the present incentive
for overcharging, particularly when It is
taken into consideration that the dis
count will be materially greater than it
has been. A rigid contract with the re
tall dealers Is expected under these cir
cumstances, to hold them to the state
prices.
How the transportation charges are to
be taken care of Is a matter of private
arrangement between the publishers and
their deposltorj' or wholesale agent. The
interest of the public is to see that not
more than the state contract prices are
charged the children for books. Some
of the new supplies are already on the
way to Oregon and all will be In Port
land in ample time to be distributed
throughout the state before the open
ing of schools in August.
Though it is not required of the new
contractors that they shall accept in
exchange books that have not been le
gally adopted by the State Board of Edu
cation, the representatives of the suc
cessful bidders say no question will be
raised against exchanging books that
have been introduced since the old law
was repealed, such, for example, as the
new natural geographies. They will be
accepted as If they had been regularly
adopted by the state. The paragraph of
the official circular of instructions relat
ing to exchange of old books, upon wrhlch
the bids were based, is as follows:
The exchange price Is the price the pupil
must pay for a new 'book when he surrenders
an old book upon the same subject and of
the same grade, heretofore legally adopted by
the State Board of Education, and in actual
or contemplated use in the public schools of
Oregon. This price remains in force to De
cember 31, 1001. It is hereby intended that a
family having children attending a public
school shall have the right to exchange old
books in their possession for books as above
stated.

WORKMEN'S GRAND LODGE
ANNUAL SESSION WITH A LARGE
ATTENDANCE.
Election of Officers Today, and. Work
for Committee on Jurisprudence
- Degree of Honor.
The Grand Lodge A. O. U. W. began
its annual series of meetings In the Elks'
Hall yesterday morning. In the afternoon
Supreme Master Workman Harwlck, of
Buffalo, N. Y., honored the assemblage
with an address for the good of the order.
Mr. Harwlck complimented the grand

done within the past year, and spoke
encouragingly of the future of the order
throughout the entire country.
The grand lodge degree was conferred
on S5 members who attended Its meeting
for the first time.
After Mr. Harwlck's address, subjects
for legislation were taken up. One of
these refers to the question of a divorced
Wife paylpg assessments. It was decided
that she might do so, but could gain no
right .thereby.
This morning at 9 o'clock legislative
matters will be resumed and bids re
ceived for issuing the official weekly
publication of the grand lodge for the en
suing year. This afternoon at 2 o'clock
an election of grand lodge officers will
be held. In the meantime the committee

Reception to Grand Lodge.
Last night the grand lodge of the A.
O. U. IV. and delegates were delightfully
entertained at Hawthorne Park by tho
subordinate lodges of Portland. The spa
clous grounds, thronged with 2000 people,
were brilliantly illuminated by hundreds
of bright lanterns. A short distance from
the speaker's stand tables were set, and
dainty refreshments served to visiting
delegates. An excellent programme, con
sisting of speeches and music, was opened
by popular selections by Brown's mili
tary band. R. F. Robinson, who was In
charge, then Introduced Grand Master
"Workman Ralph Feeny. Mr. Feeny spoke
briefly along fraternal lines. He said In
part:
"A new feeling of confidence in the A.
O. TJ. "W. has displaced the old one of
doubt and uncertainty. The organization
has had a rapid growth and the outlook is
encoufaglng. It stands without a peer In
fraternal circles, and we take pride in
aaylng that there Is not a promise of ours
unfulfilled that we made In the begin
ning. Our pledges are unbroken. Today
there are 425,000 homes protected by the
anchor and the shield."
A selection by the band preceded D.
Soils Cohen's remarks. He, also, believ
ing brevity to be the soul of wit, made
his talk short, though It was pithy and
full of good thought. The order, he said,
was progressive and capable of adapting
Itself to changes, so that it would no
doubt meet and equal tho progressive
spirit of the 20th century. Continuing, he
remarked that the order believed In the
dignity of labor and paid it the highest
respect.
Mrs. Ollle Stephens, grand chief of the
Degree of Honor, In response to Mr. Rob
inson's invitation, next spoke of the aux
iliary organization. She stated that there
were 5000 social members and 2000
beneficiary members, and that effort
was constantly being made o show the
advantage of be-neflclary membership.
A vocal solo, "Holy City," by Mr. Keat
ing, was highly appreciated by the audi
ence. Other speeches were made by Su
preme Master Workman Hartwlg, and
Mrs. M. "W. Brlggs, field worker of the
Degree of Honor. Music by Brown's
band concluded the ..programme.
OBJECTS TO TWO THINGS.
One Property-Owner Condemns Our
SldeiTHlks and Frame Shacks.
Z. C. Spalding, owner of the Hotel Per
kins, la spending a few days In the city,
accompanied by his daughter. He has
Just returned from Honolulu, which he
considers his home, and Is on his way to
Paris, France, where his wife, who is an
Invalid, resides.
Mr. Spalding is largely Interested in
Hawaiian Island sugar plantations, and
has an extensive sugar refinery In San
Francisco, as well as large sugar-beet
farms along both sides of the Sacramento
River In California. He usually visits
Portland once a year, and yesterday re
marked that the city grows apace every
time he is away. "I notice, however, that
your city authorities permit old frame
buildings to be repaired In the business

quarter when they should by all means
be torn down and replaced with substan
tial structures. Wooden sidewalks are
tolerated where, cement ones are sadly
needed, and these oversights work
against the welfare of the city. Tho
property-owners are not to blame for
neglecting to tear down old shacks so long
as they can obtain big rental for them,
but the city government should control
such matters and enforce regulations re
gardless of whom It strikes. Dilapidated
frame buildings are condemned In all
well-regulated cities and their removal
enforced, and the system works to tho
benefit of the public."
In speaking of the sugar Industry, Mr.
Spalding said: "The consumers of sugar
have no cause to complain over the price
of the refined article, as it Is cheaper by
a good deal than It was a few years ago.
Large plantations and Improved machin
ery enable sugar men to produce the ar
ticle at less cost than In former times,
though wages now have an upward tend
ency, and this factor may compel tho
manufacturers to raise the price."
