A. mi.i ! i - n Foar Skip Detained at Astoria Have Pnt I to Sea Two "Xew Charters. The French bark Beien entered the Co lumbia River yesterday, 132 das from St. Kazaire. She had been expected to ar rive for some time. The Vessel Is of 1707 net tons. She had much 'better luck In getting In than, her sister in nationality, the Lamoriclere, which was detained off the mouth of the river nearly a week. Four vessels of the out-bound, fleet at Astoria went to sea yesterday forenoon. They were the steamer Icdravelli, of the Portland-Oriental line of steamers; the British ship Mayfleld, the British ship County of Kinross, and the German, ship Favorlta. The last three are laden with grain and are bound for Queenstown Or Falmouth for orders. The vessels sailed In quick succession, availing themselves of the east wlntl. The BIckmer Bickmers, Carlo P Werra and Bourbakl, outgoing vessels, are still at Astoria. It was expected that the BIck mer Bickmers would be prepared to sail yesterday also for she has been at the mouth of the river for somo time. This fleet will be joined today by the Marechal Davout, which Is in tow of the Harvest Queen. The Ieyland Brothers started down the river yesterday about noon In tow of the R. B, Thompson, drawing 22 feet, and the Isabella in tow of the Okla iiama, drawing 21 feet 3 Inches. Both hips will go through to the sea without interruption. The Princess Marie ar rived here yesterday forenoon. She is anchored in the stream. Nine French vessels are now in the Co lumbia Blvor or at Portland. Besides the Marechal Davout, the Belen, the Europe, the Bourbakl and the Lamorclere, are the Admiral Cornulier, the Dungueselln, the Louis Pasteur and the General Millenet. The Europe Is at the sand dock, where she has discharged part of her ballast She will move to the elevator dock today to receive a stiffening of cargo and to unload the rest of her ballast. The G. H. TVappus will finish loading at the ele vator dock today and give place to the Europe. The General Millenet has dis charged her cargo of cement. KEW DREDGE AT WORK. Tested and Found Satisfactory in Every Way. The dredge whioh has been under con struction for the North Pacific Lumber Company for several months is finished, and was given a test yesterday. The ma. "ehlnery worked perfectly. Everything about the dredge is very substantial and strong. The craft is probably the best of Its kind In the Northwest, The dredge was stationed near the chore of the East Side of the river, a short distance below the Burnside-street bridge, where it worked all the afternoon. About 5CO feet of 16-Inch pipe were connected, which was supplied by a five-foot cen trifugal pump. The engines of the hoist ing winch are 6x12 Inches. The engine which operates the pump Is a duplex, tha cylinders being 14x20 inches. Two steam boilers generate the power, each 52 Inches iq diameter and 16 feet long. The machin ery Is very complete .In its equipment. The hull, built by Jdsoph Supple, is the strongest ever constructed on the river. It Is braced and stayed with oak knees and 12 tons of Iron bolts. In addition to the ordinary framework. The length is 1M feet and beam 34 feet. The dredge draws about 30 inches of Water. The upper works of the craft are given to living quarters for the crew. There are eight sleeping-rooms, each having two bunks; the captain's room, two eating-rooms and a kitchen, all finished in stained wood. The machinery of the dredge was made by the "Willamette Iron "Works. The dredge will go to the mill of the North Pacific Lumber Company In a few days to deepen the water at its wharves.

Customs Collector Insists, That It Mast Pay Duty. POBT TOWNEEND. "Wash., Nov. G. The sohooner Bobert Lewers, from 'Hono lulu, is tied up by the customs authori ties on account of Captain E, R. Under wood refusing to pay duty on 165 tons of Scrap-iron at the rate of 54 per ton. Some time ago the schooner Bedficld brought scrap-Iron from Honolulu and was com pelled to pay duty, and this fact was known to Captain Underwood, who, before sailing from Honolulu, took precaution to ha e the shippers make .affidavit that the iron was of American manufacture. The affidavit was made before the Collector at Honolulu, but Collector Heustis hplds that It is of no force, and the Collector himself should have certified to the fact He insists that duty must be paid, and refuses to allow the Lewers to enter. Captain Underwood has applied to the department for a ruling on the subject. Vessels engaged In the Hawaiian trade have to pay 51 per ton for rock or sand ballast, and of late thev have hMn hrmr Ing scrap-iron, on which they received isir ireignt. while at Honolulu Captain Underwood was fined 5100 for having a mate who did not have a license. NEARLY SWEPT TO SEA Launch Eagle Rcscaed by Life-Saving: Crew. ASTORIA. Or. "Nmr. G-T7ho ),,, Eagle had a narrow escape from being oepi 10 sea mis morning, or being wrecked on the Jetty. The men on Board would have probably been drowned If it had not been for the prompt assistance of the Point Adams life-saving crew. The launch had lost her rudder. The lookout at Point Adams saw the danger the craft was in and called out the life crew. "When the launch was reached she was in the breakers about two miles below Fort Ste vens, near a point in the Jetty called Sand Spit The life crew rigged a Jury rudder for the Eagle and escorted her back to Astoria. . MENACE TO NAVIGATION. Derelict Logs O Cape Flattery Are Baagcroat to Ships. PORT TOWNSEND, W,ash Nov. & Vessels arriving from Cape Flattery re port a serious menace- to navigation In the shape of logs, off the Cape. 'The brig Geneva reports- having collided with a large log south of Flattery with such force that it caused the vessel to tremble. The log was -struck ldewise and was forced under the vessel, bumping the keel the full length of the vessel. The Bobert Sudden, fronr Honolulu, re ports that In coming up the Straits today she had to dodge logs for a distance of 15 miles. The Geneva made the run from Honolulu In 16 days. During the first eight days she encountered calms and lfght winds, but during the next eight days she made 225 miles daily. According to Tecords on nle at the Cus-tom-House here, exports from Puget Sound for tho month of October amounted to 52,788,843, and they were cent to 25 different countries. FOG HAMPERS SHIPPING. Traffic at Londcm la Almost at a Standstill. LONDON, Nov. . There are Indications of the tog breaking tip at some points, but reports from the busiest porta show little amelioration. England is now hav ing the most severe cold known in years for this period of the year. Snow fen at many places this morning. From the Mersey, the Bristol Channel, the Humber and the Clyde arrive stories of the dislocation of traffic. A number of vessels have been stranded, there have been minor -collisions on tho Thames and hundreds of vessels are fogbound, the pilots refusing to assume the risk of tak ing them to their wharves. The Blver Thames, however, shws signs of clear ing. Passengers who left London at & o'clock yesterday evening arrived at Cal ais at 8 this morning, after passing a night on the sea. Five hundred Yar mouth fishing boats have been unable to return to port, owing to fog. TWO VESSELS CHARTERED. Barks Donna Francisca and Golgorm Castle Will Come Here. Two more charters have been made In the past few days for grain cargoes from Portland. The vessels are tho British barks Donna Frmcisca, of 216S net tons, and the Galgorxn Castle, of 1507 tons. The former will be here for January loading and the other for February The rate nf each is 35 shillings. Both barks have been at Portland. The Donna Francisca took a cargo of wheat from here In January, 1895, for Balfour, Guthrie & Co., and another in March of last year for Girvin &. Eyre. The Gal gorm Castle sailed from Portland with grain In October, 1896, for Slbson & Kerr, and again in January, 1898, for the Portland Flouring Mills. COAL BARGES ADRIFT. Tnir Had to Abandon Them on Ac count of Heavy Sea. ? PHILADELPHIA, Novt 6. The1 tug M E. Luckenbach, which passed out to sea from Deleware breakwater with the coal laden birges West Point, Ohio and Mys tic Belle, bound tap Providence and Bos ton, returned later with the West Point and reports having lost the other two. A heavy wind and sea prevails and It Is feared the missing barges, with their crews of four or five men, may have gone toHhc bottom. Rnmored Combination Denied. A rumor was going ahout yesterday that the O. B. & N. Co. had absorbed the boats of the Oregon City Transpor tation Company. Both companies de clared there was no truth In the report Such a combination would put all Valley transportation by water In one system. Captain Graham, of the Oregon City Transportation Company, said that the re port had probably arisen from the agree ment his company has made whereby It will use the O. B. & N. Co.'s wharves at Salem, Corvallls and Albany. His com pany is preparing to extend its route to Corvallls and McMInnville, and has no intention of selling out Loading of the Crusader. Plans of loading the Government trans port Crusader were changed yesterday and the work stopped for the day. It bad been intended to load a large quan tity of lumber In one of the compartments under the deck. No more lumber will be storedunder the deck and that spice will be given to hay and oats. The lumber cargo will be loaded on the outside of the vessel. The transport Seward is -still at th'e foot of Couch street. The upper works of the vessel are receiving a coat of paint Lumber for the Adato. The steamship Adato finished loading 650,000 feet of lumber at Inman, Pouleen & Co.'s mill Tuesday, and Is now at the mill of the North Pacific Lumber Com pany to complete her load. Inman, Poul sen &. Co.'s mill will supply about 850,000 feet more. The full cargo of the steam ship will consist of about 2,600,000 feet of lumber. This will weight the vessel down to about 22 or 23 feet draught. Two Men Drovrncd in m. Gale. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. G.-A dlYpatch to the Maritime Exchange from the Mon mouth Beach Llfcsaving Station near Long Beach, N. J., says that during & heavy gale today, two fishing boats cap sized off .Galilee. N.

WELCOMED NEW COMMANDERS Salvation Army Addressed by Major and Mrs. Dubbin, There wfl3 a rousing meeting at the Salvation Army headquarters on First street last evening. The occasion was a reception to Major and Mrs. Dubbin, the divisional commanding officers of Oregon and Washington, who lately arrived from Cleveland, O. After an Open-air meeting tho members pf Corps No. 4, together with a number of visiting Salvationists, filed into the hall, where several hundred peo ple had crowded to attend the exercises. After a number of Army songs, Staff Captain Macabee offered a fervent prayei. More gospel hymns followed, and prayers were Invoked by a number of prominent Army workers. Commander Macabee w el comed Major and Mrs, Dubbin, both of whom responded. Mrs. mDubbIn spoke first, making a neat responso, and was followed by a stirring address by Major Dubbin. v At tho oioe of the meeting one new re cruit went forward and joined, while four others rose for prayer. The good order of the meeting was eomewhfU disturbed by a crowd of hoodlums in the rear of the room, who annoed thoso present by con tinually talking and laughing, especially during prayer. Post Captain Macabee gave out the fol lowing Interview concerning the present condition of the Salvation Army In Port land: ' "We have 252 posts In tho States of Ore gon and Washington, and there are about 400 names on our roll in these states. Seventy-five of these members arc offi cers. In Portland we are doing splendid work. We have two posts on this side of the river, and one on East Oak street Jn addition to these, we conduct our shelter" for men. This Is' a resort in the North End, where poor men arc lodged for 10 cents a night A free bath is run In connection with the establishment. Then there is our Rescue Home. An Fourth fltreot which Is a refuge for fallen women, a place where we endeavor to reform the wayward. A committee of women from our ranks goes each day to the Whlte chapel district to persuade the fallen women there to lead different lives. All the "posts In the city are doing good work." Jeffries in Training. v HABBIN SPBINGS, Cal., Nov. 6. Jim Jeffries Is already in excellent condition for the coming bout In San Francisco. The tall pugilist never worked so hard In his life, arid his looks certainly show(the result of long runs and walks over' the mountain paths of this vicinity. His man ager, Billy Delaney, returned today from San Francisco whither he jourrtejed to sign a contract for the moving pictures. Delaney la anxious to see Jeffries take on some weight, and bad a conference .with the champion on the subject. He wants the big fellow to go In the ring at 225 pounds. On his visit to San Francisco Delaney Iramed that Buhlln had taken on 20 pounds since coming to California, and for that reason he is anxious to see h?s man take on as much flesh as he can and still be In good fettle. Jnmpcd on n Ten-Penny Nail. The little daughter o? Mr. J. N. Powell jumped on an Inverted rake made of ten penny nails, and thrust one nail entirely throuph her foot, and a second one half way through. Chamberlain's Pain Balm was promptly applied, and five minutes later the pain had disappeared and no more suuering was experienced. In three days the child was wearing her shoe 83 J Mr. Powell la a-well-known merchant of Forkiand, va. Pain iJalm is an antiseptic, and heals such Injuries without matura tion, and In one-third, the time required AFTER OREGON'S TRADE RAILROAD FROM SOUTH COMING ' INTO LAKE COlfNTY. Appearances Indicate that Harrlman Interests Favor Draining Oregon t Toward San Francisco- President Charles M. Sain, of ther Ore gon Potash Company, writes from San Francisco a personal letter to a Port land stockholder In the corporation, say ing that he has- made a deal with the Nevada-California-Oregon .Railroad Com pany for tho extension of Us line from Termo, CaL, ta Sumner Lake, Or, "They take an Interest In bur Summer and Abert Lake properties," saya the letter, "and will extend their line northward to tho lakes.. I have the Contract for the railroad In writing and I .have every rea son to believe It will go ahead, They expect to reach the property next year, or at laatt as far as Lakeview. This, of courre, means a great deal for the de velopment of Southern Oregon. It may also lead to a through line to The Dalles. I tried to Interest the Columbia Southern, but they were slow. They might have had the same layout the N, C. O. has and It would have been a good thing for Portland. It would still be a good thmg for Portland to have the Northern line built" The Nevadi-Callfornla-Oregon Railroad starts from Reno Junction, on the Cen tial Pacific Ballway in Nevada. 306 miles from San Francisco, and runs northwest ward, crossing Into California and termi nating at Terrao, whlch is 130 miles from Beno. Eighteen miles of new line are under construction, between Termo and Madeline, and It is said trains will run on ihii extension before tho end of this year. From there the distance to Abert Lake Is about 120 miles, and to Summer Lake It Is CO miles further. About half way between Madeline and Abert Lake, on the direct liner Is the town of Lake vlewv Or., which, has a large trade from the Tpper Goose Lake Valley and an extensive agricultural, gracing and min eral region in Southeastern Oregon. This road is of narrow gauge and all the traffic going over it to the outside market munt be transferred Into stand-aid-gauge cars at Beno Junction. This ados .to tho cost of transportation. For many miles from Beno It passes through a country that yields almost no local business. It gets into a productive coun try only after crossing the range Into California, and the country improves to ward Oregon. Hitherto that Tegton has been known almost exclusively as a stock country. Lack of transportation facili ties prevented the development of gen oral farming, there being only the local market to supply. Horses and cattle and sheep could carry themselves to market, and the grazing Interests throve. It Is a famous horse country. The region pro duces such uncommon minerals as borax and carbonate of soda in abundance. It Is estimated that there are 30.000,000 tons of salts at Summer and AbPrt Lakes. Since carbonate of soda Is worth $2S per ton in San Francisco and potash $130 per ton. It Is evident that these commodities alone would make profitable business for a railroad penetrating that country Not only Is the available quantity large hut tho price makes it a high-class freight, the kind that enables a railroad- to pay dividends. The reputed ovners of the Nevada-Cal-ifornla-Orcgon Bailrond are Mqran Broth ers. New York bankers, rated at $lf,000. 000, There is no evidence that Harrlman Interests have anv direct ,pwnershlp of the narrow-gauge line, but it Is clear that the latter road is dependent on the Har rlman lines for its ability to do business. Without an outlet the local road could do little. It must affiliate with Its con nections, and the Harrlman people havo the power to control the narrow gauge feeder In such matters as the building of extensions. Without encour agement from the Harrlman people It is safe to say there would bo no extension of the Nevada-Callfornla-Oretjon Into Or egon. Indeed, the direct statement Is made that the Oregon Potash Company sent an agent to see 'Mr. Harrlman per sonally before It was able to perfect tha arrangement by which the narrow-gauge line Is to be extended to the deposits of salts- In Southern Oregoh. If thl transaction stood alone there would be nothing specially significant about it. But It Is a matter of common knowledge that the Columbia Southern Railroad Companv, which has a line reaching southward from Biggs, on the O B. & N. and the Columbia Blver, to Shanlko, In Wasco County, a distance of "0 miles, has projected an extension still farther -southward across the state. This line also must affiliate with the Har rlman system and must be governed largely In Its Important moves bv tho wishes of the Harrlman people. It Is well known that this company has made an extensive rcconnolcsance of the coun try through which its extension Is pro jected., and It is said that the jresult of this examination was entirely satisfac tory. What puzzles Portland people la that the road is not extended, so ag to bind Oregon interests In one bundle ThH, In connection with the announcement now madejtht the line frqm the south is al ready unfler contract to Invade Oregon, provoikes unfavorable comment here. As one railroad man puts It, "Harrlman seems to be holding back .with one hand the Oregon enterprise, while with the other hand he is pushing the San Fran cisco enterprise up into Oregon." There Is, however, a disposition in some quarters to criticise the management of the Columbia Southern for dilatorlncss. Too much attention, it Is said, has been given to the Incidental demands of tOwn sltes; that the progress of the road has brpn delaved on this account; that Jf the1 bffltJers of the road w,ere In earnest to extend it, the funds would be provided and tho wprk would go forward. Presi dent Lytle, however avera that .be Is using evory endeavor to put' matters In shape for extending hli road, but the way is long and rough and it will take a large sum of money to build It The southern narrow-gauge line can be built the 150 mjlea to Summer Lake for $1,500, OOC It will cost the Columbfa. Southern that sum to build 100 miles to Farewell Bend. And it will then bo 100 miles from Summer Lake and 150 miles from Lake view. While distance Is admitted to be, a fac tor In the time within which the lino may be built, It Is not admitted to b$ an argument against the building bf the northern line, for every mile of the route will yield traffic And alt this traffic be longs to Oregon and should be handled In Oregon, -and that part bt It which 13 exported shduld- gS from "an Oregon port. All relations this way would be recipro cal; the other way they are not There is a general and strong opposition to x policy thct shall result In pulling Oregon to pieces for the benefit of outside com munities ind financial interests. The dis tance frdm Summer Lake to San Fran cisco by way of Beno Is about 50 miles, from Summer Lake to Portland by way 6f Biggs the distance Is not more than 260 miles. The northern Toute would be over a standard-gauge, line and fre'ght would go through without rehandllng: at1 Beno there must always ho the transfer between narrow and standard cars. If the line from the south within reas onable time should be extended through to The Dajles, as Is Intimated In tho let ter from which quotation Is made, there would, be small complaint from Portland, for the natural advantage of this route would bring Oregon traffic this way. But that possibility is regarded as tog re mote for consideration. If San Francisco interests are Ho bf permitted to govern, the door to Portland will be kept blocked. This Is what creates dissatisfaction In Oreson. DALLAS. TO RAISE SUBSIDY. 10,000 for the First Railroad to Falls City and the Timber. DALLAS, Nov. 6. At an earnest and enthusiastic meeting of the Board pt Trade of Dallas last night a committee of six business men was appointed to raise $10,000 as a bonus for a railroad to Falls City and the timber belt lying west of there. The committee is M. M. EUls, chairman: Joseph Sibley, E. G. Luther, J. C. Hayter. J. G. Van Orsdale and Chalmers Klrkpatrlck. Subscription pa pers were prepared today and a system atic canvass commenced. The terms of this subsidy will be that it will be paid to the first company or in dividual building a railroad between Dallas and Falls City and beyond to com mercial timber, conditioned that the road shall be standard gauge and have equip ments sufficient to do the business of a common carrier. The object of requiring the road to be a common carrier Is td-accommodate the agricultural country be tween Dallas and Falls City, and not be exclusively a logging road. ' Bnrlineton Directors Elected. CHICAGO, Nov. 6. Stockholders of the Chicago, Burlington & Qulncy Ballway (the old Illinois corporation), met here today In a protracted session. Directory w6re elected, but their names were not made public, as It was said changes were likely to be made by November 14, to which date the meeting was postponed. The Post gives the presumptive reason for the postponement as a desire to await tho settlement of points at Issue between J. J. Hill and a H. Harrlman. AT THE HOTELS. THB PORTLAND.
