io THE MOBNING "OKEGONIAN, FRIDAY. "AUGUST 30, 1901. GRAIN SHIPS ARE MOVING SAX.FRAXCISCO SHIPPERS GOT OCT TWO VESSELS YESTERDAY. Fnruseth Denies That Strike Is Broken Dunbritton Rcnchen Port land Indrapnrn's Good Time. SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 29. Leading grain merchants asserted today that the blockade of wheat ships has been ef fectually broken. Twenty-five nonunion grain handlers were shippped to Port Costa today and It Is .said others will fol low tomorrow. During the week, say the employers, enough men have been sent to Port Costa and the other grain warehouse points to load several of the ships that were previously tied up by reason of the strike. Today two of the grain fleet, the British steamer Imogene and the British ship Arracan, came down Into the stream to take on stores for the European voy age. Both were fully loaded. Along the water front in this city the claim was made that the force of nonunion men at work was being continually added to. ""AH this talk about business moving swiftly and smoothly on the city front is nonsense." declared Andrew Furuseth, secrtary of the City Front Federation, this morning. "There are, at the most, S00 men at work on the water front today. The employers are trying with this unr trained force of 800 to accomplish the work of 12.000 experienced men who are on strike. The fact is that while certain shipowners, dra3-men and warehousemen are loudly asserting that business is mov ing, the pressure of the City Front Fed eration is becoming greater every day. We are not underrating the strength of our opponents, but we are confident that the means adopted for our cause will be ef fective. "At the present time there are 200 ves sels tied up on account of the Federation strike. During the past week we have in duced more than 200 nonunion substitutes to quit work by explaining the truth of the situation and letting them understand what we are fighting for." The "most serious disturbance of the day was a fierce fight between the police on the water front and a gang of about 303 union men at Stewart and Folsom streets. A crowd gathered around a truck that had broken down and jeered the driver. The mounted officer, who was escorting the truck, tried Ineffectually to drive the crowd back. Every idle man m the street was attracted to the scene and the street became impassable. The crowd re foisted the attempts of the police to dis perse them, and would not give away until a dozen or more had been severely clubbed NINE LIVES LOST. City of Trenton Disaster Worse Than First Reported. PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 29. The result of the explosion of the boiler of the steam er City of Trenton, while on her way up the Delaware River, from this city to Trenton. N. J., yesterday afternoon, was more serious than was at first supposed. Nine persons are know positively to have been lost on the steamer, and two of the injured still will probably die. The identified dead are: "William Nelson, aged 67 years, a veteran of the Civil War. James McCormack, Wilmington, Del., fireman. Elizabeth Greene, Philadelphia. William Dunn, Philadelphia. Arthur T. Lansing. 14 vears. Trenton N J. William J. Keene. Philadelphia. Jesse Stration. Trenton, died in hospital. In addition to these there are two ehar Tfd bodies, believed to be those of females, in the morgue. They are beyond recogni tion and will be burled in the potter's field. The list of missing, which will doubtless -add many to the death roll, follows: Irene Weild, aged 16. Clare Weild. aged 13. Dora Weild, aged 9 years, three sisters of this city. They were with their uncle, William Dunn, who was killed on the steamer. Mrs. William H. Keene, whose husband was killed. John D. Chew, of Camden, Is. J., assist ant engineeer. Miss Elizabeth LippIncott,of Bristol, Pa., a school teacher. Augustus Merkle, fireman. Philadelphia. Mott Merkle. fireman, Philadelphia. Anna Herr. 16 years old. Philadelphia. Mrs. John W. Matthews.

Marlon Ashmead, 17 years old, Philadel phia. Elizabeth GilHson, Philadelphia. James O'Connell, fireman, Philadelphia Miss Edna Kinney, Philadelphia. Of the 33 persons taken to the hospital in the House of Correction, near the scene ui me explosion, the following are still in the institution: Mrs. Edna Van Scheick, Helghtstown Jv. J., will die. Miss Fannie Keene, Philadelphia, will W. C. Mershon. Morrlsvllle. Pa. J. W. Hastings. Philadelphia. wlf; J W HastinGs. Philadelphia. hite Lansing, Trenton, N. J. Miss E. R. Smith. Philadelphia. Miss Clara Connor, Philadelphia .diss Reid. Although the searchers, consisting of a corps of city police, have been dragging the river ever since yesterday afternoon, they have been unable to find any more bodies. That there are more victims in the river Is the firm belief of the author ities, and their failure to find additional dead is supposed to be due to the strong current in the river at the point where the explosion occurred. The water was pumped out of the hull of the burned steamer, after which a careful search was made for additional y.ctlms of the explosion, but none was found. As to the exact cause of the explosion nothing is known, but a rigid investigation is to be conducted at once. Many of the passengers who escaped In Jury maintain that the City of Trenton which was late when she left her wharf in this city, was racing at her top speed and that if this had not been the case the accident would not have happened This is partly borne out by a statement eaid to have been made hy Assistant En gineer John D. Chew. Chew told his wife that he expected to be killed by an ex plosion on the steamer, as the company made the engineers get up too high a pressure of steam. DUNBRITTON IN PORT. Disengaged Grain Ship Towed Up the River In Fast Time. The British bark Dunbritton was towed up from Astoria by the Harvest Queen yesterday In 11 hours, which Is pretty fast time for the upstream run. So far as known the Dunbritton is still on the free list, and for this reason, her com ing up the river is unusual. The ship broker who has charge of her business stated yesterday that she had refused a charter at 42s 6d, which is the highest rate of the season. If the wheat market continues In its present "sloppy" condi tion, the owners may yet have cause for regret at not accepting such a high rate. The unfortunate Andrada once refused a rate of 42s 6d after arriving at Portland, but before she left here a year later she was glad to get Sis 3d. CHANNEL IN GOOD SHAPE. Big: Liner Indrapura Goes Through To Astoria Without Delay. The river channel betweeen Portland and Astoria is in first-class condition. The Indrapura. carrying the largest cargo that ever left Portland for the Orient, went through to Astoria drawing nearly 24 feet of water, without delay. The steamer did not leave Portland until late Wednesday, on account of a heavy fog, but she arrived down at noon yesterday and passed on out to sea two hours later. The remarkable part of the performance lies In the fact that the big freighter was taken through successfully at a season of the year when the water Is usually at Its lowest stage. Pilot Archie Pease, who has piloted more big steamships between Portland and Astoria than any man on the river, was In charge of the Indrapura, and did not find the bottom anywhere on the route. CITY OF CLIFTON SINKS. Mississippi River Packet Springs a Leak and Goes Dovrn. ST. LOUIS, Aug. 29. The steamer City of Clifton, owned by the St Louis &. Ten-Seventy-Six Landing, about 15 miles above nessee River Packet Company, sank at Grand Tower, III. She was bound for St. Louis, and her cargo consisted mostly of lumber. Her passengers, who were trans ferred, arrived here safely on the steamer Chester. The boat sank in nine feet of water, and will be saved. The sinking was caused by a leak, the extent of which could not be learned. Returning passengers say there were more than SO travelers on board when the steamer struck a hidden snag in midstream and went down within three minutes. No lives were lost and no one was Injured. The accident, however, threw the passen gers Into a panic and several women fainted. The passengers all crowded to the upper deck, and four hours later were taken off by the City of Chester. The Clifton was built about a year ago at a cost of $50,000. DEUTSCHLAND THE FLYER. Big German Liner Scorches Across the Atlantic With a New Record. NEW YORK, Aug. 29. The Deutschland arrived in port early today with a new record. This trip was made from Cher bourg Mole to the Sandy Hook lightship In 5 days 12 hours and 23 minutes, a dis tance of 3015 miles, a tan average speed of 23 knots per hour. This Is the quickest westward trip in point of time and over the shortest route. Her day's -runs were: 434. 562, 573, oi2, 57S and 329 to Sandy Hook lightship. There was some delay on the banks off Newfoundland, owing to the fog, and the presence of many fishing vessels, which obliged the steamer to slow down at times. Off Nantucket lightship several messages were sent by the Mar coni system, which worked somewhat bet ter tnan on the previous trial. For the North Pole. CHRISTIANIA, Norway, Aug. 29. The steamer Frithjof arrived at Hammerfest today and reports that she successfully landed the Baldwin-Zeigler Arctic expedi tion at Camp Zelgler, in latitude S0:24 north, and longitude 55 east. All the members of the expedition were in good health, and the dogs and ponies were In excellent condition after their month's voyage. The weather conditions were favorable for an advance of the expedi tion. Mr. Baldwin intended to start north ward August 24 hy what Is called the Inter-channel route, across Markham Sound and between Austria Sound and the Brit.sh Channel. Big: P-aeifle Liners. NEW YORK. Aug. 29. The Mail and Express today says: "The Northern Pacific Railway Com pany has decided to build two immense steamshlpj fo rthe Pacific and China trade, of about the same size as those now bu.lding at New London, Conn., for the Great Northern Railway. They will be of 2S.O00 tons, or three times the ca pacity of the average ocean freighter." The Everlasting: Manuense. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 29. The steam er Valencia, which arrived from Nome today, had amove her passengers Captain W. G. Porter and a portion of the crew of the wrecked whaler Grampus. Captain Graham, of the Valencia, reports that Au gust 25, when about 350 miles off Flattery, he spoke the steamer Manuense, from Vancouver for St. Michael, disabled. Her thrust shaft was broken.

MURDERERSTILLATLAROE ALL EFFORTS TO CAPTURE "BOS 5IE' FRAXCIS UNAVAILING. Bloodhonnds Could' Not Find Ilim and Tortured Negroes Refused to Divulge Hiding: 'Place. HOLDEN,, Mo., Aug. 29. "Bossle" Francis, who murdered Miss Mary Hen derson, of Columbus, Mo., Tuesday even ing, has thus far eluded his pursuers and tonight the large posse that has been searching for him partially dis banded, discouraged over the failure of its efforts, after having been, as It supposed, at the point of capturing the negro. A pack of bloodhounds was ob tained today from Manhattan, Kan., and taken to the Hyatt farm, the scene of the murder. The dogs found the trail of Francis readily and followed it straight to the coal mine at Black Water, owned by a negro named John Hardin, whose wife is an aunt of Francis. The posse, composed of 200 men, felt sure that Francis was hidden in the mine shaft, but as he was known to have two pistols none of the men ventured to go down. Finally, A. W. Rice, owner of the blood hounds, entered the mine, taking the dogs with him. but failed to find Francis after a thorough search. Late this afternoon, Deputy Sheriff Temple, of Warrensburg, called a council of the posse, and after discussing the situation, the men decided to disperse for the night, leaving a few of their number on guard at the important points. The search will be continued tomorrow by a large number of men. Charles W. Hyatt, brother-in-law of the murdered woman, will offer a reward for the arrest, or for the body of Francis, and this is expected to stimulate the efforts of the volunteers. Francis is known to all negroes in the county and is very popular among them. No one supposed that he has gone far from Columbus, and it is thought that no negro in the neighborhood would refuse him food or shelter. There are several negro settlements in the district and there are negro cabins everywhere. All the negroes have been disarmed by the vol unteers and their houses searched. There seems to be no doubt that Francis first fled to his uncle's house at Black Water and then took refuge in the woods. At this season of the year the vines and weeds along the numerous creeks make thick shelter. The clew to his whereahouts was ob tained by stringing up three negroes who lived near the Hyatt farm in Columbus. The mob had spent the entire night searching for the negro. Finally, after midnight, they came upon Emmett Dav enport and Charles Briscoe, who lived near Columbus, and Bud Francis, a brother of the murderer, between Colum bus and Holden. The men declared that they knew nothing about Francis' where abouts, but after Davenport had dangled at the end of a rope for a few moments he became terror-striken and motioned to be let down. Davenport said that "Bud" Francis had told him he was to meet the murderer at the Porter-Murray coal mine, six miles north of Holden, when he was to give "Bossie" ?1S that Briscoe owed him. Bud Francis had. Davenport said, taken Davenport and Briscoe with him and made them go into the mine to find the murderer. He de clared they had not found Francis. Davenport, Briscoe and "Bud" Francis were hurried bpfore the mob to the place indicated by Davenport. The mob worked hard and long, but to no avail, and only gave up when relieved at day break by hundreds of other armed men, who took up the hunt before the night shift had left off. The three negroes were finally sent to Warrensburg and placed in jail for safe keeping. The funeral of the murdered woman was held this ipmlng. There is great excitement at Odessa and mobs are re ported forming there every hour to join the chase. SHERIFF IS RESPONSIBLE For Lynching; of Three Innocent Ne groes in Pierce City, Mo. JEFFERSON CITY. Mo., Aug. 29 Adjutant-General Cameron, in a report to Governor Dockery on the recent Pierce City race war, Issued today, holds Sheriff Manlove, of Lawrence County, responsible for the lynching of the three Innocent negroes. Adjutant Cameron, who was sent to Pierce City to investigate the af fairs, says in his report: "It Is generally believed in Pierce City that had Sheriff Manlove remained there during Monday, when the excitement ran high and threats of lynching were openly mde, and asked the aid of the militia, the trouble and loss of life would have been averted." Package of Money Identified. OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 29. The package of money found yesterday by boys has been partially identified. A letter-carrier picked up a band which had been used to hold money. It was marked "$3000" and con tained other marks by which the bank officials think they can identify it as the band covering the package of money stolen from George Archibald, the Pacific Express Company's driver. Later it was found that the money package was addressed "Citizens Bank, St. Paul, Neb., 53000." This address cor responds with that on the money stolen from Archibald. This, with the seal of the First National Bank, appears to com plete the identity of the money. P. J. White, agent of the Pacific Express Com- nnH.. nnij v.A..n n.nn .n jnl,u u .H TUZ V Z1 Zc claim for it would be made. Mob Completed Its Worhr. DENVER. Aug. 29. News has reached here that on Sunday morning a mob burned the remaining buildings belonging to William Radcliffe, at Grand Mesa Lakes. It was the burning of the hotel at this place recently by a mob that caused Mr. Radcliffe to call on Governor Orman for troops to protect his property and also caused the report that Radcliffe had appealed fo the British Government for Its protection, claim. ug to be a sub ject of Great Britain. The trouble be gan when one of Mr. Radcllffe's guards killed a ranenman in a controversy over the right to fish In the lakes. Since then all the buildings on Radcllffe's place, in cluding the fish hatchery, have been de stroyed by mobs. St. Paul Tax Certificate Frauds. ST. PAUL, Aug. 29. Ex-Auditor James H.

RICHES OF THE BIG BEND LINCOLN COUNTY YIELD NEARLY 10,000 CARLOADS OF WHEAT. Land of Wonderful Promise From Which Portland Is Nott Exclud edUnlimited Possibilities. WILBUR. Wash., Aug. 23 (Staff Cor respondence.) No other portion of the State of Washington has a more alluring prospect for agricultural developement than the northerly portion of what Is known as the Big Bend country. This rich domain receives its name from the half circle formed by the Columbia Riv er as it marks the northern and western boundaries of Lincoln and Douglas Coun ties. Less than a score of years ago the rolling prarie which forms about four fifths of the area of the two counties was regarded as worthless for agricultural purposes. About a dozen years ago, a few wheatgrowers who had been crowded out of the high-priced lands of Walla Wal la and the Palouse made their way into this region, and commenced growing crops. They were followed in by the Cen tral Washington railroad, a branch of the Northern Pacific, and while the early at tempts at wheatgrowing were not alto gether successful, there has been a steady improvement in the methods of farming and an increase in population, which re sulted last year in placing Lincoln Coun ty near the head of the list of wheat growing counties of the state. Lincoln County Crop. The yield of the county last year was practically the same as that of Whitman County about 5,250,000 bushels. This year the addition of a large area of new land and a heavy Increase in the yield of that previously in cultivation, will run the to tal up to about 7,500,000 bushels. This es timate is from 2,500,000 to 7,500,000 bushels short of the figures which are given by some of the crop experts in this country, but it is a difficult matter for an unprej udiced outsider, who can hear all sides of the story, to figure more out of it. The acreage of old land In crop this year 13 no greater than last year, as a heavy acreage was in a year ago. Estimates of the increased out-turn of this acreage vary from 10 per cent to 33 1-3 per cent, and it is not impossible to find some fields in Lincoln County that will run as low as 10 and 15 bushels to the acre, and I saw a few wheat fields that were cut for hay. Making an allowance of 20 per, cent In crease In yield, a figure which many con servative farmers and warehousemen con sider too high, and figuring 40,000 acres of new land at the high average of 30 bushels to the acre, and we would have an out-turn of 7,600.000 bushels. This showing may seem small compared with the 10,000,000 bushels and even 15.000.000 bushels that is claimed In a general way by some of the Spokane newspaper cor respondents, but It is remarkable when, it is considered that this matter of 10,000 carloads of wheat will all be dragged out of a country that was settled only by the jack rabbits and gophers years after Walla Walla and the Palouse were fa mous as wheatgrowing sections. Big Bend's Rich Soli. The soil through the greater part of the prairie reg.on of the Big Bend Is a decomposed volcanic ash. This soil is of marvelous richness, but, of course, requires moisture to bring out tne Dest results, some of the early sett lers gave up in disgust because of their unfortunate experience in striking dry seasons. Gradually, however, the new comers were crowded north from the higher priced lands in the lower counties. They settled on these dry plateaus be cause there was nothing better in sight. Naturally they sought to get near what little water there was, and made a slight mistake by trying to farm too near the alkali and holes. Results were not satis factory down there, but elsewhere every thing that has been planted in the past 10 years has grown and thrived. The old timers who abandoned the country in dis gust are skeptical about Its reformation. When the success of the men now en gaged in wheat growing In Lincoln and Douglas Counties is cited, they look du bious and say, "Wait until they have a few years of dry weather like we used to have, and those fellows will all go broke trying to raise wheat up in that coun try." Storage of moisture. The prosperous residents of this new country do not fear prophecies of this kind. They counter on this argument with tho theory, which Is plausible, that the Increasing area of land coming under cultivation and better methods of farm ing, have been the means of saving the moisture so that It Is better distributed. In the old days, thousands and hundreds of thousands of acres of this tough soil, bound together by an almost water-tight mat of wool grass roots, received heavy rains and shed them as a duck's back sheds the water. Now they have large tracts of land under cultivation and are plowing deep. The soil Is loose and mel low after the surface has once been cracked, and It soaks up all of the rain that falls, storing It away so that wheat will withstand weeks of hot weather and still turn off a good crop. According to Government statistics this country has enjoyed an annual average precipitation of 13.06 inches for the past 10 years. As wheat is successfully grown in some portions of California with but 4 Inches of rain, It would seem that the Big Bend was well supplied. This city, which is located on the Central Washington Tailroad, is the big wheat shipping point of that line, and last year handled 745,000 bushels of wheat. On the Great Northern, which traverses the southern part of the county, Edwall, Harrington and Odessa are the principal shipping points. Portlnnd Heard From. At Odessa the Portland Flouring Mills Company is building a 350-barrel Hour mill, and the heretofore undisputed sway of the Seattle buyers along the Great Northern will be broken. Between Odessa and Wilbur are a large number of Fin landere, who are all getting rich growing wheat on land which cost them practi cally nothing. This year they are turn ing off some big yields, from 30 to 40 bushels to the acre in many places. They are a thrifty, industrious class of citizens, and some of them who landed here pen niless a dozen years ago are now farm ing from 1000 to 2000 acres of land, which has all been paid for from the profits secured from the original homestead, and its succession, which they have added from time to time. The rapid develop ment of this country Is due in a large measure to the liberal policy of the rail road company In selling its lands to set tlers at a very low rate. While all of the railroad lands that have been sold at from 75 cents to $2 per acre did not pass direct to the settlers, thousands of acres of it fell into the hands of some big land speculators, who have made this country blossom with prosperity. How Development Is Hastened. One of these companies, the Big Bend Sand Company, which has headquarters at Wilbur, has brought hundreds of set tlers in from the East, and has in steady employment on the railroads and through the East and Middle West, a dozen men drumming up settlers and piloting them out to this land of promise.- They scat ter these settlers around, selling the first ones in a locality a farm at very low figures, and using the success and suc cess is pretty certain to follow well-directed effort in this country of their early customers as an unanswerable and easily understood argument which nets steadily increasing forces for their hold ings. While much of the best located land In the two Big Bend counties has already been placed under cultivation, there are still vast tracts which will some day be producing wheat. They are now a little more remote from transportation jirnri i , i . i hi m i hi u ,,-- jga jtt gSwIT is significant the very best is demanded, Ivory Soap is used in the nursery.

High quality and low cost: is there any better combination? corrmOMT nit trine facilities than those which have been tak en, but some of them are equally as good as anything that Is now under cultivation, and in due time it will not seem unrea sonable to expect a yield of 15,000,000 to 20,000,000 bushels of wheat from Lincoln and Douglas Counties. None of the wheat now grown here is tributary to Portland, but it Is not Improbable that a portion of it will some day find a road to market over the downhill route by which about half of the Washington wheat crop al ready reaches tidewater. This complimentary notice of a field for trade in which Portland Is not reaping at present is not intended solely as a tribute to the rustlers who have made it what it Is. It Is written to explain why the wheat exports of Washington ports are steadily growing, without encroach ing in the slightest desree on the busi ness of Portland. There is some good un developed wheat country in Oregon wait ing for settlers, but the Oregon scouting parties who are out watching the ap proach of the big band of settlers who have been starved, roasted or frozen out of the Middle West, may not be quite so swift as those of the Evergreen State.
