BIG FLEET OF BIO SHIPS
PACIFIC EXPOK.T LUMBER C03I
PAXY HAS EIGHT STEAMERS.
Combined Carrying Capacity of
Twenty-five Million Feet Sep
tember Grain Fleet Arlvinsr.
The Pacific Export Lumber Company,
of this city, has added the British
steamer Salfodla and the Germaii
steamship Elba to their chartered fleet.
This makes a. total of eight big steam
ships operated in the Oriental lumber
5 trade by this firm. Some idea of the big
proportions of this lumber trade with
the far East, can be gleaned from the
Xact that the carrying capacity of the
eight steamships is over 25,000,000 feet of
lumber. The largest carrier of the fleet,
the Oceano, is now loading In this city,
and will get away next week with nearly
4,000,000 feet of lumber. The Thyra is
now at Taku discharging a 3,500.000-foot
cargo, and the Guernsey is on the way
across the Pacific with a similar sized
cargo from British Columbia. The next
vessel of this fleet to follow the Oceano
for Portland loading is the Palatinia,
which is due from the Orient Friday.
She will be followed by the Adato and
the Thyra, both of which will return
to Portland as soon as their outward
cargoes are discharged. The Sunderland
will sail from Muroran for Portland Fri
day and will come by way of Comox.
bringing xi cargo of coal. She will reach
Portland about September 23, and will
load back with lumber for Shanghai. The
Elda, which is the latest addition to
the Portland company's fleet, is en route
from Singapore to Hong Kong and will
come across the Pacific in ballast to load
at this port
In addition to the steamships of the
lumber fleet, there will be three other
steamships loading at Portland in Sep
tember. The Tyra is due from Vladivos
tock tomorrow or next day, and will
take out a large miscellaneous cargo for
the Siberian ports. The Portland and
Asiatic liner Knight Companion, is due
about the 15th, and will load outward
lor Hong Kong and way ports, sailing
again on the 2Sth. The Glamorganshire
is due from Muroran about the 12th, to
load wheat for Europe. These, with the
fleet of sailers now in port, will make
the Portland water front a busy place
during the month.
SEPTEMBER FLEET ARRIVING.
Mabel Rickmcts and Falls of Halla
dalc Reach Port Sunday.
Two more of the advance guard of the
big fleet of grain ships which are now
winging their way to Portland from
various parts of the world, came in from
sea Sunday. The first to reach port was
the German ship Mabel Pickmers, which
was a. week or two behind her record,
with a passage of 39 days from Hiogo.
She comes under charter to Glrvin &
Eyre. The second arrival Sunday was
the British bark Falls of Halladale, which
Snade a leisurely passage of 73 days from
Valparaiso. She is under charter to G.
V. McNear. and both vessels will be
loaded by the Northwestern "Warehouse
Company. This gives the port a fleet of
seven ships as a starter for September,
and while there is considerable old wheat
still on the docks, the greater part of the
cargoes of these ships will be new wheat,
which is now beginning to arrive quite
freely. "With the exception of ships al
ready chartered, near by vessels are very
scarce and exporters are unable to get
liold of anything except distant vessels.
Portland will undoubtedly ship more
"wheat this season than ever before, but
even should she fail to reach the record,
the number of ships handled will be
greater than ever on account of the
smaller size of the vessels.
The average tonnage of the grain ships
now en route and listed for the Columbia
River is but 1G09 tons, compared with
3820 last year, and 1S04 on the same date
in 1899. The same relative shrinkage In
figures Is noticed in the grain fleets at
other ports on the CoasL This is saia
to be due to the large number of small
vessels that have been sent north from
the nitrate ports. In former years when
rates were lower, the small ships were
unable to make any money carrying
grain In competition with such monsters
as the Royal Forth, Trade Winds, Peter
Rickmers and other big craft which have
loaded at Portland. The result was they
were kept on shorter routes and In trades
where tle big ships were not in demand.
"With rates banging around 40 shillings,
however, there is plenty of money in the
business and the "small fry" prefer it to
charters which would take them to less
desirable parts of the world, and to
more expensive loading ports. It is now
almost a certainty that a large number
of steamers will be required to prevent
a heat blockade on the CoasL "With the
foreign market In Its present depressed
condition, steamers are a last resort with
exporters, but with a shortage of sailers,
It may become necessary to use them.
THE WRONG O'BRIEN.
Well-Knovra Mariner Receivinp: Un
earned Press Notices.
Some Pacific Coast newspaper writers
have apparently got Captain John
O'Brien, who is well known in this port;
confused with some dime novel hero.
The Astorian prints the following, which
has been floating around the Coast papers
for the past month:
"Captain John O'Brien, recently placed
In command of the steamship Mexico,
plying between St. Michael and Seattle,
Is better known, as "Dynamite Johnny
O'Brien," the hero of a dozen filibuster
ing expeditions. Since the cessation of
hostilities with Spain, Captain O'Brien
has been in command of merchant ves
sels, but before war was declared he ran
several contraband corgoes from the
Atlantic coast that reached the Cuban
Insurgents in safety. On one of his trips
Stephen Crane was a passenger, and
he made the journey and its perils the
narrative of a book of adventure."
Captain O'Brien, of the steamship Mex
ico, is not a dynamiter, and never en
gaged in filibustering. He sailed out of
Portland on the old Alden Besse and
other wind-jammers a generation ago,
and then went into steam vessels. He
made himself famous in the early S0s by
sailing the steamship Umatilla into Es
quimau after she had been abandoned
by the captain off Cape Flattery. He
was afterwards master of the whaleback
steamer C. "W. "Wetmore, which he lost
oif the Oregon coast. For the past five
years he has been running to Alaska
almost continuously, with the exception
of a few months spent in bringing the
steamship Dolphin out from the East.
On this trip his ship was attacked by the
Patagonlans, but Captain O'Brien made
matters very Interesting for them, al
though they succeeded In setting fire to
the ship in two or three places before
th-y were finally beaten back.
DRIJXKES SAILOR PASSING.
Demands of Business "Will Elevate
the Callinpr of Jack Tar.
"These are not romantic days for the
Sailor," says the 2Cew York Times, "and
the roystering, bullying, noisy Jack Tar
Df the old-fashioned melo-drama. Is in
lommon English 'played out.' The only
person who does not quite realize that
fact is Jack Tar himself. Kow there are
sober and industrious sailors, or at any
rate thera are some who are more sober
and industrious than others, and these
latter are going to get the employment
nd the former the hard bread of idle
ness. "When the Commodore Allen burned
off Sandy Hook the other day, the cap
tain said it was chiefly because his crew
went on board drunk, 'as they all do.'
The statement has been made several
times of late that the British sailor of
today is a drunken and untrustworthy
man. This seems strange in the face of
:he fine tales which have been told of
aim. But now the Orient Steam Naviga
tion Company, an English organization,
has decided to ma n its vessels with Las
cars, and the Australian manager of the
company says It is because the English
sailor is 'drunken, refractory and unruly.'
The British and American sailor will
have to learn that in their calling, as well
as In others, employment Is for men who
can be depended upon at all times, even
though they may not be as clever as the
erratic are in their sober moments." -
BELGLVN STEAMER FOUNDERED.
Fate of the Crew of Thirty-nine Is
Not Known.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 2. The Bel
gian steamer Noranmore, whose loss while
bound from Batoum for Bombay was re
ported yesterday, foundered in the Black
Sea during the night of August 25 in a
severe storm. The solitary survivor of a
crew of 40 was picked up four days later
in an open boat. Nothing is known as to
how the others fared.
"Water Front "Was Q,ulet.
Labor day was pretty generally ob
served along the water front, all of the
men engaged in stevedoring and long
shore work being on parade. The only
movement In shipping outside of the ar
rival and departure of the regular river
steamers, was the departure of the
steamer Harvest Queen for "Westport,
to tow the log raft down the river. Tho
steamers running up the "Willamette "Val
ley alf carried large crowds of hoppick
ers, and the bustle incident to their de
parture was about the only signs of life
along the water front.

ASTORIA, Sept. 2. The "Willapa Harbor
sloops passed out of the river yesterday
morning on their return trip. "While no
accident happened to any of them of a
serious character, the usually unlucky
"White "Wings was dismasted on the bar
while crossing out. It was a close call
for all on board. Fortunately the tug
Astoria was near by, got a line aboard
the "White "Wings and towed her into the

WHEN CONSCIENCE AWOKE,
Chase After and Arrest of Trio in
"Wlilteehapel.
In arresting Richard Hunt, Frank
Ryan, Frank Smith and John Lewis yes
terday, Detectives Snow and Kerrigan
think they are on the track of men who
can give some information regarding the
recent robbery of the Lincoln saloon,
northeast corner of Sixth and Burnside
streets. Last Friday night three masked
men, two of them with revolvers, rushed
into the Lincoln saloon, overpowered the
bartender, and stole $43 in money and
escaped. In robbing the bartender, one
of the robbers' black masks slipped, par
tially exposing his features, and the po
lice are working on this clue.
Snow and Kerrigan were passing a
"Wlilteehapel saloon yesterday when they
noticed Hunt, Ryan and Smith. The
trio also saw them and without waiting
to finish their drinks, they took to their
heels, but were soon overtaken and placed
under arrest It was shown afterward
that Lewis bad been associating with
the other prisoners, and he was ar
rested. The police recently arrested Hunt
on suspicion that he knew some of the
details of a case in which cases of whis
key had disappeared from in front of a
Fourth-street saloon, and he was sub
sequently released with a warning to
leave Portland. He promised to leave
town that day and never return. James
O'Roark, bartender at the Lincoln saloon,
will be shown the prisoners today.
TRIED TO STRANGLE HER.
"Unknown Robber Attacked Lena Is
abella, and Escaped.
A determined attempt by an unknown
man was made to strangle Lena Isabella,
a French girl, residing on Fourth street,
near Davis, early this morning. Sho
afterward stated that a strange man
walked into the room she occupied and
asked her if there was any money in the
house. She had her empty purse out at
the time, and had placed $1 on the bureau.
Suddenly the man sprang at her, tied a
handkerchief around her throat and tight
ened his hold unttl she fainted. Then the
stranger stole her dollar and disappeared.
The noise the man had made meanwhile
had alarmed the neighbors, and when they
ran into Lena's room they found her
bleeding at the mouth. Special Officer
Hoare and Policemen Gibson and Bailey
arrived and administered restoratives un
til a neighboring physician called. Later
the girl had somewhat recovered, but' it
is believed she Is Injured Internally.

LAWN FET ON THE PLAZA
AX IDEAL PICNIC TIME AND
PLENTY T)F SWEETS FOR ALL.
The Gross Receipts Amonnted to
?2G7 10 Those "Who , Had Charge

Crowds of little boys and little girls, and
also grown-up folks with a sweet tooth
to take care of, streamed toward the gay
lawn fete, held yesterday on the plaza
blocks in front of the County Courthouse,
to quaff lemonade and fancy drinks, and
eat popcorn and appetizing pies and cakes,
and help swell the fund for the free swim
ming bath. Baskets of good things -arrived
on wagons from early morning until noon,
and the work of displaying them on pret
tily decked stands and booths kept willing
hands busy.
Fortunately it was ice cream weather.
There was just enough coolness In the air
and welcome sunshine streaming down to
make it ideal picnic time. Little boys
especially, reminded their parents when
near the plaza that they were thirsty, and
that their thirst could only be assuaged
by cooling draughts of pop. Little girls,
after gazing- at the home-made' cake, con
fidentially Informed their mothers that
they had suddenly become hungry. "Why,
child, you've newly had your dinner,"
many a mother would exclaim. But the
little folks got all they wanted.
After the Labor day parade was over,
older folks called at the booths and liber
ally patronized them. Pleasant family
parties bought lunch at the stands, and
sat down on the grass and enjoyed them
selves. Cake, "as mother made it," was
often bought, and the cooks who had
made it were complimented until they
blushed.

The park was densely crowded In the
evening, and people did not begin to dis
perse until toward 10 o'clock. The arc
light in the center, where the Southern
Pacific band was playing, threw a glare
upon a perfect sea of upturned faces,
while the various booths and tents, sur
rounded by Chinese lanterns, did quite a
thriving business, though the charges
were so low that a good deal of business
had to be transacted in order to net many
dollars for the fund. The Ice cream
went quite rapidly, although the night
was cool, and the fortune-tellers were
kept busy predicting the future of all cus
tomers at 10 cents a "reading"; the art
gallery tent also did Its share of business,
and those who spent their 10 cents for
admittance to its interior came out again
expressing themselves well pleased over
their investment.
The crowd was good natured through
out, and when a slelght-of-hand faker ap
peared and passed the hat for his own
benefit, he was laughingly thrust out into
the street, but with sufficient severity to
make his exit permanent. A candy peddler,
with like selfish Intentions, was also run
off the grounds, and a drunken darky,
who thought it was his opportunity to
orate, was bundled oft to the police sta
tion. A detachment of police kept their
eyes open for suspicious characters, and
at the same time put a damper on the
attempts of mischleveous boys to annoy
the spectators.
The happiest moment to those who had
worked so hard all day and evening came
when it was announced that the gross re
ceipts from the fete amounted to $267 11.
Mrs. Thomas Johnston was first with
$75 SO, though Miss Turley, who was as
sisted by Mayor Rowe, was a close second.-
The amounts taken at the various
booths were:
Booths of Mrs. Thomas Johnston, $75 80;
Miss Turley, assisted by Mayor Rowe,
$5S 77; Mrs. J. J. Byrne, $56 64; Miss John
ston, $30 45; Mrs. Dolan, $19 65; Miss Car.
ter, $9 20; Mrs. Hodes, $7 95; Miss Hays
$6 65; Estelle, the gipsy, $2; total, $276 1L
Several small bills will have to be da
ducted from this amount, for goods pur
chased. Free Bath Notes.
A lawn fete was held Saturday at
708 Water street, for the benefit of the free
baths, by Henry Borqulst, Willie Perry,
Willie Carmack, Alf Borqulst, Lizzie Car
mack and Lela Hoff, which netted $4 25.
These little ones are between 8 and 12
years old and planned and executed the
entertainment.
Additional subscription for the' free
baths: Harold Germanus, $1 50.
The valuable cake won yesterday in
the Labor day parade by Local Union
No. 75, Journeymen Barbers' International
Union of America, will be raffled to help
the fund for the free swimming baths.

duly admired at a meeting of the barbers,
and it was unanimously decided to offer
it to help swell the bath fund. Tickets
will be sold at 10 cents each, after Thurs
day, and up till the 17th inst. Par
ticulars will be announced later. Wher
ever the cake has been exhibited it has

Two Filipinos Become Members of
the Philippine Commission.
MANILA, Sept. 2. There were appro-:
priate ceremonies in the palace this morn
ing at the inauguration of Dr. Pardo de
Tavera and Benito Legardo as members
of the Philippine Commission. Jose E.
Luzarlaga. the third Filipino member
was to have taken the oath of office at
the same time, but was unable to do so
owing to illness.
Civil Governor Taft said today that the
ceremony does not fully complete the
government the President intends form
ing, but sufficient has been done to show
the nature of the policy to be followed.
Municipal governments have been gener
ally formed of a substantially autonomous
character. Their officers are entirely na
tives. The provisional government Is
partly American and partly Filipino. Now
the Philippine Commission Is partly
American and partly Filipino, it being
the purpose of the President to form a
government in which the native element
will be able to voice the desires of the
people, their local aspirations and neces
sities, and give the Filipinos an example
of American Institutions and the customs
and laws prevailing In the United States.
The happiness of the people will result
from practical government, and not from
theories on the part of many of these gen
tlemen, who apear to desire to multiply
the differences of the government by cre
ating: new parties to embody political
theories when "they might more profitably
advance their country's welfare by de
voting their time and talents to amend
ing and improving the laws of the legally
constituted body. There will be time
enough for theories when the government
is running smoothly. Yesterday was the
anniversary of the beginning of legislative
work. The committee will have worked
hard and much will have been accom
plished if they feel they have advanced
with the same progression a year hence,
and will be assured of the success of their
efforts. '
Dr. Detavera said that hardly had the
people begun to appreciate the work of
pacification than they were accorded the
institutions of peace. The enemy of the
evening before began the next morning to
aid their adversaries In building roads and
houses and Introducing acts of peace. The
day was not far distant when the Fili
pinos would enter a legislative body for
the Islands, elected by the people. Con
ditions prevent the elections at present.
The Filipinos consider today to be solemn
and grand, because It Is the first time
they have been given part in the supreme
government. They believe the day Is com
ing when the American Constitution, as
a whole, without amputations, will be
planted here, as the flag now is."
The other commissioners also took the
oath of office.
