THE MORNING OREGONIAN, -THURSDAY, JULY 25, IDOL
TWO MORE MARCH SHIPS
REACH THE TJXITED KINGDOM
' FROM PORTLAND.
The Branlmuscn and the Queen Vic
toriaMade Voyages of 12G and '
, ,.142 Days Respectively.
Two other March ships txpm Portland
reached "EUrope; yesterday, the Brun
hausen and" the Queen Victoria. The for
mer arrived at Queenstown yesterday, and
the other 'was sighted off Prawl's Point
These make four March ships from Port
land which have reached England. The
last two took rtieir time, and did not at
tempt, any records. The Queen Victoria
reached her native shore after a comfort
able voyage of 142 days, and the Brun
hausen occupied 126 days in the journey
to Queenstown. Both are moderate-sized
vessels, the former of 15S7 tons; and the
latter of 1317 tons. The Brunhausen fook
from this port 77.5C0 bushels of wheat,
and the Queen Victoria 96,162. The Queen
Victoria left the Columbia about two
-weeks ahead of the other ship, for Ant
werp. Thus, while four of Portland's
(March ships have arrived out, Puget
Sound's March fleet of six vessels, with
Its drag of barnacles, is yet to be heard
from.
HARBOR IS BUSY.
Seven Grain Vessels and Two Lum
ber Ships in Port.
The harbor is very busy for this time
of year. Eight ships are here, and an
other, the Poltallbch. Is at Astoria. All
are large carriers. Besides the two b.'g
steamships, the Thyra and the Strathgyle,
there are seven grain vessels in port as
follows:
Tons.
Dumfrieshlre 2483
Ual 2627
Ecuador 2264
Galgite 2227
Polialloch t 2139
Hllston 199S
Argus 1543
The Thyra and the Strathgyle are busy
receiving cargo. The latter is at the
Pennoyer mill, in South Portland. The
lumber for its cargo is be'ng treated with
creosote, a process which is a slow one,
and which will probably delay the de
parture of the steamer. It was hoped
that she might have room for over 4,000,000
feet of lumber, but it is not probable that
&he can accommodate that much, owing
to tnc length of the timbers. The Thyra,
which has less tonnage, may bear away
as much or more cargo, because her tim
bers are of a more convenient length, and'
the space trney occupy is more economical
ly used.
This full fleet of ships will be further
increased before the end of the week by
the steamship Indravelll, the O. R. & N.
vessel due from the Orient, and by the
steamship Adato, which will be loaded by
ine Pacific Export Lumber Company. Be
sides these vessels, several grain ships
are dally expected tb arrive, among them
the Brabloch, which has been overdue for
a month.
Other vessels of the Pacific Export Lum
Tier Company to follow the Adato are the
Palatinia and Southerland, and also the
Royalist, as soon as she Is released from
San Francisco, where she Is held by legal
U lflcultles. The Guernsey will not come
bere, as was first intended, but will load
lumber at Victoria.
HILSTON AND GALGATD HERE.
Former Hns a Cargo of Cement The
Lntter -a Frequent Visitor.
The British ships Hilston and Galgate
arriied from Astoria yesterday, in tow ot
the R. R. Thompson. The vessels are
good sailers, and after their barnacles
have been sloughed off by the fresh water
of the Willamette, the ships will be very
much improved In speed. The Galgate is
t'ne ship which last year made the run
from Hong Kong to Portland in 27 days.
Its recent trip from Callao occupied 43
days, which shows that she did little
loitering on the ay. She is in ballast,
and Is at the Irving dock. This is the
fourth vls't of the vessel tb Portland in
four years. The vessel left here in Octo
ber. 1S97. for the United Kingdom, in
February. 1899. and in June, 1500. The
last voyage from Portland was made in
120 days, and the one before that in 135
days. The ship's cargo In 1S97 consisted
of 130,393 bushels of grain, and in 1900 o
131,546 bushels. She is consigned to G. "W.
McNear, and will, therefore, be loaded
by the Northwest "Warehouse Company.
The Dumfrieshlre will probably be- t"he
first vessl dispatchd by that company this
season, and the Galgate the second.
The-Hilston is consigned to Balfour,
Guthr'e & Co.. for wheat loading. The
vessel has a cargo of 7500 barrels of ce
ment "from Hamburg. She is now at
Greenwich dock.
SHIP CANAL PROJECT.
Greater Ncn Yorlc .Association
Strongly Against It.
NEW TORK, July 24.-Strong opposi
tion to the ship canal project was ex
pressed at a meeting yesterday of the
subcommittee of the Greater New York
Canal Association and the Canal Com
mittee Exchange. The purpose of the
conference was to consider the report of
the deep waterway commission on the
ship canal proposition. After a prolonged
discussion of the subject it was unani
mously decided to continue the campaign
for the improvement of the state water
ways by the state along the lines already
mapped out.
According to the statement of the
chairman of the meeting, Mr. Henry D.
Hebert, the sentiment of the conference
was unanimously against the ship canal
proposition. Principal among the rea
sons for thia opposition. Mr. Hebert said,
was the feeling amounting almost to a
certainty that New York would never
abandon ber canals, or. In other words,
turn them over to the National Govern
ment as would be required, according
to the commission's report, before the
Government would undertake the con
struction of a ship canal. Mr. Hebert
eaid that serious doubts were entertained
as to whether the deep-waterway proposi
tion could be carried out.
Opposition to the Union Scale.
The new seamen's wage scale promul
gated by the union is receiving opposition
at Pugte Sound. The following is taken
from a Tacoma paper:
"A tug was expected during the night
to tow the -ship John A. Briggs, Captain
Balch. to Seattle, where she will endeavor
to get a crew. The Briggs has aboard a
cargo of coal for San Francisco. Sunday
she- shipped a union crew, but they de
serted because the master declined to
meet the new wage scale of 550 for the run
to San Francisco.
"The California Shipowners' Association
has its Puget Sound office at Seattle, and
will endeavor to put a crew aboard the
Briggs. They deem It handier to have the
vessel in port there, and do not think
there will be as much interference on the
part of the union. The lumber-laden
schooner Commerce, Captain; Buthenson,
was towed out to sea Sunday, night from
Old Town, with lumber for California.
The union made attempts to take the
Commerce's crew from her, but failed."
Steamship on Fire.
A strange story of a supposed fire on
one of the passenger steamers running
to Alaska Is brought by the steamer
Nell, says a Victoria paper. Her master
siys that 10 days ago, when the Nell
was lying off the creek near Port Simp
son, waiting to get in to the Georgetown
mills, he saw a large steamer, with tall
spars, like an American passenger steam
er, seemingly on fire off Dundas Island.
Now && again the sraoke obliterated
her smokestack and high spars complete
ly. For three-quarters of an hour the
steamer stood still with the great cloud
of smoke rolling from her, and then,
while the Nell remained off shore waiting
for high water to get Into the creek, the
steamer suddenly turned around and
headed straight for Dundas Island, as
though those on her intended to run her
ashore and let her passengers get out of
her. She stood well In shore and a vast
amount of steam clouded around her hull,
as if water was being used on a Are.
When she got well n toward Dundas Isl
and, the cloud of smoke rose higher,
covering the steamer entirely, and when
it moved, the steamer was no longer vis
ible. There was no sign of her to be
seen.
These are the facts as they came to the
eye of the master of the Nell, and al
though this was 10 days ago, and he has
made many inquiries since, he has been
unable to find any news of the steamer
seen by him. His opinion is that those
on her succeeded in getting the Are un
der control and proceeded on her voyage.
Accident to the Reliance.
The steamer Reliance, on the Portland
Dalles route, met with an accident In the
'Cascade locks a few days ago, whereby
a blade of the propeller -was broken. It
Is supposed by some t'hat the wheel struck
a sunken log, and by others that "the pro
peller struck the sill of the locks. The
steamer Is now at the Supple yard, on
the East Side. She will be hauled out of
the water and will receive a new pro
peller. The steamer Shaver has taken the
place of the Reliance on The Dalles run
until repairs shall be finished.

loading at this port In November Is the
Nesala. She is a German ship, of 1670
tons, and left Melbourne June 5 for Val
paraiso. Her rate Is given at) 42 shil
lings. This engagement, and others on

Important Work Cut Out.
The Clinton Kelly Sub-Board, which
meets In the hall on East Twenty-sixth
and Powell streets, will work to secure
free mall delivery for- that- portion of
the city; also to get Powell street re
paired. East Twenty-sixth street improved
from Hawthorne avenue to Oatman ave
nue; will ask the School Board to im
prove the Clinton Kelly school grounds,
and will also co-operate with the other
sub-boards for roads and general im
provements. At the meeting held Tues
day evening, W. W. Bretherton. presiding,
constitution and by-laws were adopted
and officers will be elected next Tuesday
evening, when a large attendance Is ex
pected. T. ,A. Wood said in an earnest address
that the board should take up work from
the start. The Woodstock Board Is
trying to get roads opened, and needs the
aid of outside boards. He said that Pow
ell street is in an outrageous condition,
and some effort should be put forth to
get It repaired. W. W. Bretherton told
what he had done toward getting free
mail delivery, and had failed. He said
that mall Is being delivered at Sellwood
and Sunnyslde, both of which are further
out! than Waverly and Richmond. He
said that if the whole community would
make a demand for free delivery he had
good reason to believe that it could be
secured.
A. L. Barbour 'called attention to the
condition of the ground surrounding the
Clinton Kelly schoolhouse, which, he said,
was almost a disgrace to the neighbor
hood. It should be improved and seeded
and made attractive. He also said that
there should be a sidewalk on Powell
street. During the rainy season water
pours along the side of the street where
the children are compelled to walk, and
they arrive at school with wet feet. If
was decided to take up these and" other
matters as soon as officers are elected
and committees appointed.
East Side Notes.
F. G. Broetje, of Mount Tabor, has let
the contract for the erection of a new
greenhouse. He already has three green
houses at his place.

is still at St. Vincent's Hospital, but Is
reported improving.
Otto Klingbeil, who lived at 307 East
Sixth street, South, died Tuesday. He
was a "policeman of the city several years
ago. Recently he had been engaged In
magnetic healing. The funeral will be
held today, from his late residence.
'
UNDISCOVERABLE LAND.
City Officials Weary With Wrestling
Over a Two-Foot Strip.
The Council and city officials have
wearied of considering tHe conundrum as
to what has become of a surplus two
foot strip of land which existed In a
block on the eastern boundary of Alblna
where East Seventh street now runs.
This street, which Is the dividing line be
tw een Alblna and Irvlngton was Improved
some time ago, and one of the property
owners on the Alblna side of It refused
to pay his assessment, alleging that there
was a strip of two feet between his lot
line and the street, though there was
nothing to show that there was any such
a strip there.
There was once an unknown two-foot
Strip in- the block, and as no one can
find where it Is, it was held that It must
be between the last lot and the street.
The city .engineer had the ground sur
veyed, but could find no trace of the
strip, and to satisfy the owner of the
end lot, the ground was surveyed again.
It was decided that the lot about which
all the trouble arose, was up to the street
line, and the engineer so reported. The
judiciary committee recommended that
this report be placed on file, and that
the assessment for the Improvement be
collected as proyided by law.
It is now up to the owner of the lot to
prove that there is a two-fot strip be
tween his property and the street. If he
does not wish to undertake this job, he
can Just put his lot up to the street line
as it is in the plat, and let the two-foot
strip go somewhere else and take
care ot Itself. It Is Just as likely to be
on one side of the block as the other,
and like Captain Kldd's buried treasure
may move when about to be dismissed.

OCCUPANT OF A LODGING-HOUSE
MEETS DEATH.
Two Fires in a Second-Hand Store
on Burnside Street in One Day
Other Lodgers Escaped.
In the second of two fires which broke
out yesterday -at E. Wolf's second-hand
store, 231 Burnside street, Fritz Pfiuger,
38 years old, who was asleep in a room
above the blazing store, was suffocated.
The fire is supposed to have been of in
cendiary origin. The loss to property Is
about $1000. Wolf carries $500 insurance.
Wolf's store is under the Burnside
lodging-house, which Is conducted by
John McEntee and where there is ac
commodation for 75 roomers. The first
blaze took place at 7 o'clock, when Mrs.
Wolf, according to a story she told to
an Oregonlan reporter, accidentally
dropped the lighted lamp she was carry
ing. She was standing on a chair, trying
to light a gasoline hanging lamp above
her, when she lost her balance, fell off
the chair, and the flame from the lamp
she dropped set some goods on fire. Spe
cial Watchman Roberts noticed the blaze
from the street, and with the assistance
of several buckets of water the fire was
extinguished. Ten minutes afterward
Mrs. Wolf locked up the store, as her
husband had previously left as soon as
supper was over, to spend the evening
sociably In several near-by saloons. Usu
ally, Mrs. Wolf says, her two sons sleep
In a room at the rear of the store, but
last night they went to a gymnasium and
were not home when ' the second fire
started.
It was 10:45 when Policemen Gibson and
Bailey noticed that Wolf's store was
again on fire, and they turned in an
alarm from box 141. At this point two
Of the lodgers say they saw two men act
ing suspiciously at the rear part of the
store. Mrs. Wolf was upstairs sleeping at
the time, with five of her children. When
the firemen arrived, the store was ablaze,
and the lodgers upstairs, most of whom
were asleep, surriedly dressed themselves.
Mrs. Wolf got all the children out safely.
By this time the upstairs rooms began
to be filled with smcjke, but after a good
deal of hard 'work the firemen were able
to confine the fire to the burning store,
and the blaze was extinguished in about
10 minutes.
When the blaze was extinguished the
firemen and police went to the rooms up
stairs, and after a hasty examination
thought that all the lodgers had escaped.
But one room, No. 11, occupied by Fritz
Pfiuger, was observed to be locked. This
room Is directly above Wolf's store. There
Is now window in this room, and In the
northern wall Is a glass door, which leads
Into a room (occupied by a man named
Robinson. The latter had escaped all
right. McEntee, the proprietor of the
lodging-house, became alarmed, and he
sent for Special Officer Hoare. With, the
latter's assistance, and that 'of John
Francis and Charles Roberta, the door was
broken open, as the door was locked on
the Inside. Poor Pfiuger was found dead
in bed, smothered In his sleep. The room
was full of smoke at the time. Dr. Buck
was sent for, as the police hoped that
there might be some life remaining, but
Dr. Buck said that the man had been
dead for some little time.
Pfiuger was employed as a blacksmith
at Frank Lang's shop. Second and Salmon
streets, and had roomed with McEntee
for about one year. He was unmarried.
He was a tall, powerfully built man. The
body was taken to the morgue.
Policemen Gibson and Bailey were or
dered to take Wolf and his wife to the
police station, where the Wolfs were sub
jected to a long and searching examina
tion by Police Captain Moore. Mrs. Wolf
told her story substantially as she had
previously told the reporter. Wolf said:
"I was away all the time, I did not
know that the fire had started until I ar
rived home. I was walking about? visiting
saloons where ,they have free music. 1
am a peddler, and work on the road all
day.' My wife manages the store."

the newspaper men to see the nature of
the country.
. The first stop was at Buford, 27 miles
west of Cheyenne, where the first of the
Important changes, in the line of the road
were seen. A huge steam shovel, lifting
three cubic yards of disintegrated granite
at a time, and loading a car in eight min
utes, was viewed with Interest. The work
done on the line between this point and
Rawlins makes a saving in distance of 19
miles, and reduces the grade from 75 to 43
feet per mile. At Dale Creek, near Tie
Sidlncr. a 3tOD was made, and the lm-
l mense fill, 120 feet high and 900 feet long,
mantling the steel bridge on the old line.
This bridge was 650 feet long and 12S feet
high. Short stops were made at Laramie

Locomotive Company has appropriated
the sum of $500,000 for the purpose of en
larging its plant at Schenectady, N. Y.
It Is stated that the capacity of this plant

Railroad Notes.
For the 11 months preceding June 1,
gross earnings of the Southern Pacific
have been reported at $72,1SS,000. as
against $62,935,000 In 1900. and net earnings
at $24,690,000, as compared with 20,270.000.
the increase in the former being $9,253,000
and In the latter $4,420,000.
The desired extension in time on excur
sion tickets from all parts of the country
to the Episcopal convention to be held at
San Francisco on October 2 has been
granted by the Transcontinental Passen
ger Association. The ministers asked
that the tickets be good up to November
15.
Earnings of $47,124,000 in the last year,
an Increase of $4,341,000 over the previous
year, Indicate that the Baltimore & Ohio
is a good property to own. Baltimore &
Ohio proper earned abojit $40,500,000 gross,
against $36,000,000 last year. $26,000,000 In
1S93 and $20,000,000 In 1SSS. Net earnings
for the system last year were $16,016,044,
an Increase of $1,061,152.
From statements published In Wall
street, It appears that the annual report
of the Pacific Coast Company will show
a small decrease In gross and net earn
ings in comparison with 1900, but, not
withstanding this fact, the year may be
described fairly as a good one. Tho par
tial subsidence of the Klondike excite
ment has been reflected in diminished
steamship earnings.
THE GHOST
Of our boyhood resolved itself to an old
tree when we had courage to examine it.
Manhdod has its ghosts, which, to the
man who has courage to confront them,
prove to be as harmless as the ghosts of
boynooa. une
of the ghosts
which scare
a great many
people is the
ghost of lung dis
ease. But experi
ence shows this
ghost to be very
harmless. In
cases almost innu
merable "weak"
lungs have been
made strong, ob
stinate coughs
stopped, and
bronchial affec
tions cured by the
use of Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical
Discovery. And these cures have been
wrought in many cases after the doctor
had said "There is no helpfor you."
Don't give in to the superstition of a
past age. Give the "Golden Medical
Discovery" a fair and faithful trial. It
always helps. It almost always cures.
"When I commenced taking your medicine
eighteen months ago, my health was completely
broken down." -writes Mrs. Cora L. Sunderla.ua.
of Chaneyville, Calvert Co , Md. "At times I
could not even walk across the room without
pains in my chest. The doctor who attended
me said I had lunr trouble, and that I would
never Jae well again. At last I concluded to
try Dr. Pierce's medicines. I bought a bottle
of 'Golden Medical Discovery,' took it, and
soon commenced to feel a little better;. then
you directed me To take both the 'Golden Med
ical Discovery and the 'Favorite Prescription,'
which r did. Altogether I have taken eighteen
bottles of ' Golden Medical Discovery,' twelve
of the ' Favorite Prescription.' and five vials of
' Pellets.' I am now almost entirely well, and do
all my work without any pain whatever, and can
run with more ease than I could formerly walk."
