GRAIN SHIPS ARE MOVING

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:

of the Civil War.

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

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,

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.

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.

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

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.
