THYRATAKEN FOR LUMBER
CHARTERED BY "PACIFIC EXPORT
T J )LuaIBER COMPANY.
?Tvro Fast Ships Coming From Nevr-
castle With, Coal Scarcity o
Sailors on Paget Sound.
The Norwegian steamship Thyra, which
has been lying Idle in this port since she
was .released, by the Government from the
transport service, was chartered yester
day by her agent, P. a. du Flon, to the
Pacific Export Lumber Company, to load
lumber for the Orient. This makes a
total of six big steamships under char
ter to that company, and at least half
of the fleet will receive their cargoes at
Portland within the next 30 days. Since
her release from the Government serv
ice the Thyra has "been thoroughly over
hauled, cleaned and repainted, and is now
in first-class shape. She will move over
to the west side of the river at once and
commence loading. She has never taken
e cargo of lumber from this port, but as
she is a big freight-carrier, It is expect
ed that she will carry at least 2,800,000
feet of lumber. The charter of this
Bteamer, -which, like the rest of the fleet,
was taken on a time charter, gives the
Pacific Export Lumber Company a fleet
which has a combined carrying capacity
of fully 8,000,000 feet of lumber.
Portland's rail lumber trade has for a
long time been much greater than that
of any other port on the Pacific Coast,
and if the Pacific Export Lumber Com
pany continues to expand it operations
for another year In the same proportion
bs it has In the past two years, the water
lumber trade of the port will also be
breaking records.
aiAXYLIYES IMPERILLED.
Steam Yacht "Wild DticIc Cuts Down
Joy Liner Tremont.
NEW LONDON, Conn., July 17. With
10 feet of her bow cut off cleanly in a
collision with the steam yacht Wild Duck,
the steamer Tremont, of the Joy Line,
which left Boston yesterday for New
York, with 300 passengers, was towed into
New London and beached today. All her
passengers had been transferred to other
steamers in the Sound and continued their
trip to New York. Captain Wilcox, of
the Tremont, says the night was perfectly
clear and the steamer was proceeding
on her usual course, when about 12 miles
-west of Cornfield Light, at midnight, a
schooner-rigged steam yacht was made
out on the bow. The officers of the Tre
mont supposed that the yacht would pass
astern of the vessel, as her course seemed
to be on a line diagonal of that of the
Tremont.
No danger was thought of until the
Vacht had approached to within a quar
ter of a mile, when she was hailed from
the Tremont, and no answer was received.
When too late the Tremont attempted to
change her course to avoid the impend
ing collision. -The sharp prow of the yacht
struck her about 30 .feet back of the
port bow, and sheered "diagonally across,
coming out on the starboard side. The
tforce of the Impact was sufficient to throw
passengers from their bunks and caused
the greatest excitement among them for a
time, but the officers of the Tremont
maintained discipline.
The steamer City of Worcester and the
City of Lowell were both near by, and
promptly went to the assistance of the
Tremont. The passengers were at once
transferred to the City of Lowell. The
crew of the Tremont remained on board
the vessel, and the. ..captain accepted an
offer of the steamer New Hampshire for
assistance to New London.
Immediately after the accident the
Gteam yacht backed away from the Tre
mont and left immediately, coming into
New London Harbor early today. From
shore it appeared that she had sustained
considerable injury to her stem. Captain
Wilcox Insists that If proper lookout had
been kept In the yacht, the collision
would not have occurred. The accident
to the Tremont is the eecond misfortune
that has come to the Joy Line fleet within
three weeks, the steamer Old Dominion
or that line being now on the rocks oft
Rye Beach, where she struck on a foggy
night.
- The schooner-rigged steam yacht Wild
TJuck is an Iron vessel, owned by General
Trancis V. Greene, of New York. The
m yacht .has been chartered to "United States
"Senator Aldrich. of Rhode Island, who
"Kith his wife and daughter was on board
lasf nisht, making a trip from New York
to Narragansett. Senator Aldrich says he
and his family were asleep In the cabin
when the collision occurred, and were
awakened by the crash and the men of
the crew sleeping In the forecastle were
thrown from their bunks. The plates of
the yacht's stem were Indented and bent
to one side badly and the bowsprit was
carried away.
COALS FROM XEWCASTLE.
High Grain Freights Enable Import
. ers to Secure Cheap' Coal.
The O. R. & N. Co. is bringing a couple
of cargoes of coal from Newcastle. Aus
tralia, and the vessels engaged for the
service are two of the fastest clippers in
the British merchant marine. One of
them is the famous Clackmannanshire,
which has more fast passages to her
credit than anything that has worn can
vas since the days of the Dreadnaught
and the Young America. The other Is the
British ship Cleomene, which Is also
something of a scorcher on the ocean
wave, and has made a number of rattling
TUns in various parts of the world. Both
of the ships, have made a number of pas
sages to Portland, the Clackmannanshire
being exceptionally well known in this
port. In addition to the two cargoes men
tioned; the British ship Torrldon is also
reported under engagement to load coal
at Newcastle for Portland.
It has been over a year since any New
castle coal ships came to Portland, but
the high grain freights out of Pacific
Coast ports has enabled importers to se
cure very low rates for ships coming in
this direction, and has given the busi
ness a new start. The British ship Tox
teth, which arrived at San Francisco from
Newcastle with coal June 15, has refused
a wheat charter at 29s 6d for spot load
ing. In commenting on the matter, the
Call says:
"The firm that made the offer deemed it
a very liberal- tme, as the Toxteth will
carry nearly 5000-tons of wheat, but the
owners did not"iook at It In the same
"light As no higher bid was made, the
ship has been taken to Martinez, and will
lay up there until rates reach the owners
expectations or drop out of sight. Of the
Dther disengaged vessels in port, the Willy
Plckmers and Otto Glldemeister are tied
.up owing to -the strike, the Maxwell and
Allerton will probably be chartered this
week, and the Henry B. Hyde and Henry
Falling will probably Joad for Australia
or China. The steamships Arab and" Ala
meda also figure among the- disengaged
fleet but they also are tied up because
of the strike."
VERY EXPENSIVE DELAY.
British Ship Clnverdon Loses Thou
sands Throujrli Scarcity of Sailors.
The British ship Claverdoh, which fin
ished loading a wheat cargo at Tacoma
June 29, has been held up since that date
waiting for a crew, and it is still a mat
ter of uncertainty when she will secure
one. At current freight rates the carry
ing capacity of a ship is easily $150 per
day, so that the Claverdon has already
lost JS000 by the delay at Tacoma. If this
delay to a ship had happened at Portland,
the Tacoma papers would have printed
long-winded discourses about the disad
vantages of Portland as a shipping port,
pfr;as it is all happening In Tacoma,
-tpe -matter is dismissed 'with brief men
tion. The Eaton Hall has also finished
loading at Tacoma, and Is awaiting a
crew. Sailors are scarce all over the
'Coast, and the Seamen's Union Is making
the most of it. Sailors who ship on coast-
crs "for the run" from San Francisco to
Puget Sound are demanding $50 for the
trip, and for the down voyage they exact
$40. Thus far Portland ships have been
handled with but slight delay, the com
bined delays of all of the grain ships
that have left here In the past six
months being less than that of the Clav
erdon on Puget Sound.
STEAMER THYRA LIBELLED.
Widow of Workman Killed on the
Vessel Sues lor Damages.
The Norwegian steamer Thyra, lying at
Duniway dock, on the East Side, was li
belled yesterday in the United States Dis
trict Court for the sum of $5000 damages,
Mrs. August Castro, widow of A. W. Cas
tro, being plaintiff In the suit. Mrs. Cas
tro, as administratrix of her husband's
estate, avers that on July 2, 1901, A. W.
Castro had charge of the work of repair
ing and altering the electrical, plumbing
and ventilating appliances on board the
vessel; that a certain hatchway amidships
was left open, and this, being under roof,
the dangerous condition of said hatchway
could not be detected In the dark. Castro
fell through the opening and sustained
such injuries that he died three days af
terward. The plaintiff therefore prays for
a judgment In the amount of $5000, to
gether with costs and disbursements of
suit. United States Deputy Marshal Rob
erts took charge of the vessel yesterday
evening, pending the result of the suit.
Dan J. Malarkey is attorney for libellant.
Xotlce to Mariners.
Notice is hereby given of the following
proposed changes In the aids to navigation
In this district:
Tongue Point Crossing Range Lights.
July 28, 1901, a fixed white lantern light
will be established on the high bank at
the western entrance (inshore side) of the
railroad cut at Tongue Point, Or., near
the present range signals established by
the Government dredge, to form the rear
light of a range for the Tongue Point
crossing.
The color of the present buoy depot
wharf-post light will be changed from
white to red on the above date, and It
will be used to form the front light of
therange.
' By order of the Lighthouse Board.
W. P. DAY,
Commander U. S. N., Lighthouse Insp.
The Jessie Departs.
The well-known schooner Jessie left for
Astoria yesterday morning, where she will
put in two weeks repainting and cleaning
up. Some Ave tons of once good flBh were
taken along to feed the down-river carp
and crabs, and the only token of the
schooner's presence here Is a fishy smell
at the foot of Pine street. All is now
serene ip fish circles, and the Seattle deal
ers have resumed their ancient solitary
reign hereabouts. Captain White has
gained some more or less valuable speci
mens of Portland business men and meth
ods, but otherwise the Jessie's voyage
seems to have been entirely profitless.
Return of the North-western.
CHICAGO, July 17.-The steamship
Northwestern, the first of a regular line
to make the trip from Chicago to Europe,
entered the harbor today amid a deafen
ing salute of whistles from other craft.
The round trip took 84 days, and it is ex
pected this time will be greatly lowered
the next voyage. The boat was in good
condition, despite the ice encountered on
her outward clip.
Marine Notes.
The Pak Ling is receiving cargo at a
rapid rate, and, unless too much time is
lost in shifting from one dock to another,
will probably get away by the end of the
month.
The British ship Hilston sailed from
Honolulu for this port July 5, and with
an ordinary passage should reach Port
land by the end of the month. She brings
part cargo from Liverpool.

at the morning session of the congress

on the ground that ttie laws regulating
mines are made by the state and not by
the general Government. He favored a
bureau of mines to disseminate information
regarding methods of mining and treat
ment of ores. A department of commerce,
whose head should be a member of the
President's Cabinet, he declared to be a
necessity.
The address of RoberS Graham, of Crip
ple Creek, was in favor of a department
of mining, whose head shall be a mem
ber of the President's Cabinet. He told
of some of the benefits agriculture has
derived from Governmental aid and re
cited some of the ways in which such a
department would aid mining.
Colonel Ed F. Browne, of Aspen, Colo.,
made an address on the same lines. He
gave many statistics tto show the im
portance of the mining Industry to tho
whole country, declaring 'it better to fos
ter It than to spend the same energy in
promoting foreign commerce. Five mil
lion miners In the mining regions of
America, he thought would be better cus
tomers for the farmers of this country
than 20,000,000 European paupers. Mr.
Browne declared that the mining industry
had been misrepresented in Government
rports; that more than 10 per cent? of
the exports of the country last year were
the unmanufactured products of- mining.

LEAVES AMERICAN BOOK COMPANY AFTER LONG SERVICE.
Captain R. L. Edwards, who has resigned his position as general agent of the
American Book Company, served In the regular Army, and was stationed In Mon
tana and other places In the West after the close of the Civil War. Then for
some years he" was connected as civil engineer with railroad construction In the
West. For the past 15" years he has been in the book business, with Van Ant
werp, Bragg & Co. and the American Book Company, and for two-thirds of this
period he has been located In Portland. Even people who have been opposed to
some of the methods employed by the American Book Company In Oregon are
free to say that the public schools of the state are In much better condition now
than they were five or six years ago, and that a considerable part of the Im
provement is due to the enterprise and energy of Captain Edwards In this field.
interesting address on the building of the
Nicaragua Canal. He declared that the
building of Uhe canal by the United States
Government was rendered more neces
sary by the attitude of the European
nations, which are discriminating against
American products. The canal would en
able Americans greatly to extend their
trade In the Orient. He much preferred
ttie Nicaragua route to that across the
Isthmus of Panama.
Sidney F. Lewis, of New Orleans, spoke
on "Louisiana's Waterways," showing
their importance to the state and to those
adjo ining. He told of the improvements
to which they were susceptible and de
clared that the general Government
should bear the expense.
Leon Jastremski, of Baton Rouge, ex
Consular representative of this Govern
ment in Peru, spoke on the trade with
the Pacific states of South America. He
paid a .high tribute to the character of
the people of Latin South America and
showed the necessity for improved facili
ties of trade with them.
Among the most important resolutions
referred were the following: By Gov
ernor Fishback, of Arkansas, opposing
ship subsidies; by Francis H. Thurber,
of New York, favoring Government en
couragement of transportation on land
and sea, and the chartering of interna
tional banks; by J. J. Jarvis. of the Mon
etary League, favoring the remonetizaUon
of silver.
The committee on permanent organiza
tion submitted its report, which was
adopted. The following are the officers
elected: President, John Henry Smith, of
Utah; first' vice-president, Leon B. Ryson,
of Iowa; second vice-president, L. Brad

I president. J. S. Wheelis,of Te'x&s; fourth'
vice-president, ex-Governor Seay, of Okla
homa. The other officers are chosen by
the executive commltteeand will be named
tomorrow morning. The members of the
executive committee are selected by the
different delegations.
At the evening session Congressman
Chester I. Long, of Kansas, spoke on the
subject. "Our Trade Should Go Under Our

to provide the tariff "reformed by its
friends." If they had the wisdom to do
so, but if they did not, there would come
a tidal wave of free trade sentiment that
would be destructive to all our indus
tries. Such friends of a protective policy
as Mr. Blaine and President McKinley,
Mr. Thurber said, recognized this, and all
thorough friends of a protective tariff
should support this policy, even If It does
occasionally affect single Industries ad
versely. The development of our trans
portation system on land and sea Is neces
sary to the command of the world's trade.
On land we have developed our railway
system by subsidies In land, money and
mall pay, with the result that we are
now getting superior transportation on
land for less than half that of any other
nation, and the same principle applied on
the sea would accomplish similar results
there. This, Mr. Thurber said, is a contest
of nations for the world's trade, and
our Government should back up. in all
reasonable ways its own industry, wheth
er of labor or capital, in the effort to keep
the United States to the front.

frogs which so recently descended upon
the fair City of Ithaca has not been with
out its beneficent results. It has afforded
many a small boy of Ithaca a chance to,
earn spending money for a long time to
come. Eastern frog-breeding companies,
learning of the thousands of bactrachlans
in Tompkins County, have sent letters and
posters offering $1 a hundred for all frogs
sent alive to their establishments.
Yesterday large placards containing the
terms of the offer were posted In con
spicuous places about the city. No sooner
did the small boy set his eye on them
than he set to work to improve his time.
Nets were quickly Improvised to entrap
the reptiles.
Tonight 4000 of the animals were ent to
new climes. Many were causht by older
hands. Their destination was the Massa
chusetts Frog Company, of Ware, Mass..
and their senders were Charles H. Norrlu
and John Boye, of this city. Many per
sons in the First Ward of the city have
taken up this vocation. The residents of
the marshes along the inlet have worked
all day preparing nets on piles and al
ready hundreds of the little animals have
been entrapped.
Though the frogs are not as numerous
or as troublesome as they were four days
ago, thousands of them still swarm the
marshes and pools along the" Inlet and
in the lower portions of the city.

GURIOUS HOLD-UP.
Robber's Ballet Stopped by Thick
Hair of Victim.
With two large holes In the slouch hat
he wore, large enough to admit a couple
of bricks, a man who gave his name as
J. Gillespie and said he was a collector
on the East Side, ran into the police sta
tion last night and stated that he had
been held up and shot at, and robbed
of $12 by an unknown man, on Fremont
street, two hours previously.
"I was walking along Fremont street,"
proceeded Gillespie, "when a strange man
sprang up behind some bushes and point
ed a revolver at me. and told me to
halt. He fired two shots at me, which
went through my hat. He made me come
to him, took my revolver from me, and
$12. Then he allowed me to go."
"Show me your hat," said a detective
who was present, and the man did so.
It was then seen that one hole alleged
to have been made by one bullet was In
the crown of the hat, pointing down
ward.
"Do you 'mean to tell us that one bul
let tore this hole In the center of your
hat and did not Injure your head?" In
quired the detective.
"My hair is pretty thick," urged the
alleged victim; "the bullet didn't injure
my head In the least."
The detective dexterously passed his
right hand Into the man's side pocket
and drew out a partly emptied bottle
of whisky. The man then "guessed" he
had better go home, and was advised to
have a more complete story next time
he Is robbed. He left the police station
In a hurry.

Happy
Home.
Happiness must be founded on health.
Where there is ill -health there mil
surely be unhapplness. The happiness
of many a home has received its down
fall at the table, spread with rich and
dainty foods. The first symptoms of
disease of the stomach are ignored as
being disagreeable but not dangerous.
Presently dyspepsia or some other form
of disease fastens on the stomach.
At any stage Dr. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery will cure diseases of the
stomach and other organs of digestion
and nutrition. But the cure is quicker
if the "Discovery" is used in the
earlier stages of disease. If you have
any symptoms of diseased stomach
use ."Golden Medical Discovery" and
be cured.
"I feel that I would be doing an injustice to
you if I did not send you a statement of my
case," writes Mrs. Davia W. Guice, of Hamburg.
Franklin Co., Miss. " I had liver complaint and
indigestion. Everything that I ate disagreed
with me. I suffered all the time with swim
ming in my head: heart beat too fast; my feet
and hands were cold all the time. Did not sleep
well at all. Was able to get about but very
little. I commenced to use Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery and 'Pleasant Pellets' la
May, 1897, and by December I could begin to get
about very well. Have been doing my work
ever sincte. Feel better than I have for several
years."
