THE MORNING OKEGONIAN, SATTTRPAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1901. 11 RECORD-BREAKING CARGO IXDRAFURA HAS FREIGHT VALUED AT OVER $375,000. Carries Xcarly Eight Thousand Tons of Flour, Gotton, Sheeting and Miscellaneous Freight. The Portland & Asiatic liner Indrapura cleared at the Custotn-House yesterday with the largest and most valuable car go that has ever left Portland. It con sisted of nearly 8000 tons of flour, cot ton, sheeting, potatoes, apples, beer and miscellaneous merchandise, and the total value was $575,822 90. The steamer carried the largest consignment of cotton and the largest consignment of sheeting that have ever left the port, and a consignment of 49.541 barrels of flour was not far behind the record for single shipments of that commodity. The port of Kobe has quite a prominent place on the manifest, there being 3000 bales of cotton, 4400 barrels of flour, and a lot of apples for that port Hong Kong as usual secures the greater part of the flour space, there being for that port 34.401 barrels, valued at $103,203. For the same port there are 145 cases of beer, seven boxes of apples and two pack ages of butter. For Yokohama there were 9990 barrels of flour, 370 bales of cotton and six boxes of apples. The big shipment of sheeting was for Shanghai, and the contents of the 1365 bales amounted to considerably over 1.000,000 yards. In addition to this prominent item on the manifest, Shanghi was represented by a lot of machinery, drugs and apples. A prominent leature of the shipment on board for Manila was 500 crates of potatoes. For Macan there was apples, dried prunes, soda crack ers and confectionery, and Amoy will re ceive cereals, preserves, cakes, cotton goods and apples. Six hundred bales of the cotton Is for Moji, and that port receives 250 barrels of flour. Nagasaki has 500 barrels of flour. The Indrapura finished loading late last evening, and will go down the river at daylight this morning, drawing nearly 24 feet of water, and will not lighter a pound of cargo. In spite of her slight mishap in getting out of the channel a few days ago, the Indrapura Is only one day behind her schedule, and has been in port but ten days. In that time she discharged an inward cargo of nearly 5000 tons and loaded full outward, a total amount of over 12,000 tons of cargo being handled on her In ,the ten" days in which she was in port. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, under date of November 28, printed the following as a "special' from Port land: "The O. R. & N. liner Indrapura is hard aground in the channel opposite the flour ing mills, a short distance below the steel bridge. She lies across the channel, and although two river steamers have been trying all day to float her, she still re mains in the same position as when she struck. A high tide and lightering will be necessary to get her out of the soft mud. "The Indrapura is headed for Hong Kong. She is loaded with flour and general mer chandise. She was ready to start on her voyage some time ago, but the low water prevented hor. The recent heavy rains caused the river to rise somewhat, and this morning a river steamer attempted to take her to Astoria. In swinging around she grounded, and despite all ef forts could not be moved. The major part of the cargo has already been lightered to Astoria," It would be a difficult matter to crowd more falsehood into an Item than appears in the above. The Indrapura was not aground "in the channel." The Indrapura was not loaded when the accident hap pened, was not ready to start on her vnyage, and was not prevented by low ra ter. No attempt was made by a river steamer to take her to Astoria, and not a pound of her cargo was lightered to As toria. As a monumental liar, the manu facturer of the Post-Intelligencer's spe cials from. Portland Is a grand success. LIABILITY OF STOWAWAYS. Ships Arc Not Responsible for Debts Incurred ly Them. Judge Hanford, of the United States Court, has handed down a. decision to the effect that a ship is not responsible for Its stowaways. Two doctors of Aberdeen libeled the schooner Laura Madsen to enforce the payment of an amount they claimed to be due them for medical at tendance upon a stowaway who was hurt on board the schooner. The stowaway had been compelled to sign the ship's articles, but was not required to work. However, he made himself handy and while hauling on the braces he fell on the deck and received severe injuries. When the schooner arrived at Aberdeen Drs. Scammel and Obermeyer treated the stowaway. The court decides that It is Immaterial whether the captain induced the doctors to care for the Injured man or not. Just what the ship is liable for is expressed in the following extract from Judge Hanford's decision: "It is a principle of maritime law that a chip is liable f$r necessary medical treatment and expenses incident to the cure of seamen who become ill or suffer injuries in its service, but in this case the man who was injured imposed him self upon the vessel, and neither the ves sel, her owners nor master owed him any duty, except to give him humane treat ment while he necessarily remained on board. He came to Aberdeen as a waif from the sea, helpless and destitute, and having no claim upon any particular in dividual, and was necessarily a public charge or an object of private charity. The captain of the ship, however, was not authorized to pledge the ship for the ex penses of his cure or maintenance as an act of charity. The authority of the cap tain of a ship to pledge the credit of the ship is limited by necessity. "In procuring things that are necessary to preserve the ship and enable her to proceed upon her voyage his authority Is ample, but he has no authority to enter into any contract which can be enforced by suit in rem. not required to make his ship seaworthy, or to meet his obligations as a carrier or to her crew. The act of signing a ship's articles at sea under com pulsion did not attach the stowaway to the vessel, nor create any obligation dif ferent from what necessarily arose from the fact of his being on board ' "by his own voluntary and wrongful act." THE KEIIANI AFLOAT. Snnken Steamer Brought to the Sur face With But Little Difficulty. Captain O. W. Hosford succeeded in raising his sunken steamer Kehanl with but little difficulty, and the craft Is now on the ways near Ross Island" In this city undergoing repairs. A couple of scows were run alongside of the sunken craft, and after chains were drawn under her hull, she was jacked up to where the centrifugal pumps could get to work, and the rest was easy. She came up to Port land under her own steam, and after a brief spell on the drydock will be as good as new. The barge which was dam aged at the same time was also brought up to Portland for repairs. The accident is said to have been caused by piles cut off beneath the surface of the water, there being no fender piles or other safe guard to prevent a steamer drifting on top of them. THE LINE THAT FAILED. Why the Opposition Steamer to As toria Never Turned a Wheel. The Astoria papers announce that the subsidy seeking steamer Astorian has re tired to the peeluston of Young'-s River anchorage. The movement recently inaug urated for the establishment of an inde pendent steamer to Portland suddenly stopped, and the reason thereof is thus explained by a ,man in close touch with the Astoria transportation business. When the matter of putting on the new boat had reached a stage where pledges were being made, guaranteeing a certain amount of freight, a representative of the lines now running on the river went down and interviewed the prime movers in the enterprise. After they had informed him that the new line would be a "go,' he said: "Gentlemen, you have a perfect right to run as many lines of steamboats as you see fit, but I wish to inform you that as soon as your boat starts on the route to Portland the fare will be reduced o 10 cents, a.nd freight to 25 cent3 per ton. You have had some experience in re duced rates, and if you want more of it, start up your opposition steamer." The recollections of the last rate-war were too fresh in the minds of the As torlans, and the project for a new line vanished. Schooner George Preston Libelled. VICTORIA, B. C, Nov. 29.

According to the Journal of Commerce, the Borden Con densed Milk Company, whose capital stock heretofore has been $20,000,000, all com mon, of which 517,500,000 has, it is under stood, been issued, Intends to Issue $3,750, 000 preferred stock. This new Issue of preferred stock is being made for the pur pose of absorbing several concerns which are now competitors of the Borden Com pany. It Is understood that the Borden concern is anxious to advance the price of the product, Inasmuch as the cost of, the raw material and tin cans has In creased. Considerable reticence Is observed by all interested in the new deal. Rumors, however, connected the names of several concerns with the proposed combination. The Cory Condensed Milk Company and the Wisconsin Condensed Milk Company were prominently mentioned as among the concerns likely to enter. Others also mentioned were the Mohawk Company, and the Walker Gorden Laboratory Com pany, but a denial came from the for mer and nothing could be learned from the latter. The New York Condensed Milk Company was still another corpo ration rumored as going into the combine, but It is believed that practically all the stock of this concern Is already owned by the Borden Condensed Milk Com pany. The combine may possibly assume an mternatlonal character, as condensed milk is exported and there are some important companies on the other side. It is learned that the Borden Condensed Milk Company some time ago was seeking control of a London plant that turns out a large amount of the product. The proposed? in crease in capital of $3,750,000 In the shape of preferred stock Is believed In con densed milk circles to be only the prelude to a still larger Increase In the future.

Netv Leases on Sorthwestern Reservations Idaho and Washington. WASHINGTON. Nov. 28. In his annual report Secretary Hitchcock, of the De partment of the Interior, refers to certain Indian affairs that are of special Interest In the Northwest. Thege are the fol lowing: Allotments of Lands. By an act of Congress approved Febru ary 28, 1891, provision was made for leas ing allotments for farming or grazing for a term not exceeding three years, or ten years for mining purposes, when It ahould "be made to appear to the Sec retary of the Interior that, by 'reason of age or other disability, any allottee of Indian lands under the provisions of the said act or treaty cannot personally and with benefit to himself occupy or Im- o CENTRAL SCHOOLHOUSE IN EAST PORTLAND. -$"----- prove his allotment or any part thereof," upon such terms, regulations and condi tions' as shall bo prescribed by the Sec retary. This provision was modified, by the act of August 15, 1S94, the term being ex tended to five years for farming or grazing, leasing for business purposes for a term of ten years being also author ized as well as for mining, and the word "inability" was Inserted, and the law made to read "by reason of age, disabil ity, or inability." Further modification was made by the act of June 7, 1S37, by omitting the word "inability" and changing the periods to three and five years, respectively. By the act of March 1, 1899, the Indians of the Yakima Reservation were author ized to lease their allotted lands for agri cultural purposes for not exceeding live years, and by the act of May 31, 1900, these Indians were authorized to lease "unimproved" allotted lands, for agri cultural purposes, for any term not ex ceeding ten years, upon terms and condi tions to be prescribed by the Secretary of the Interior. Also by the same act, the word "In ability" was restored, and the term for farming leases extended to five years. "The leasing of allotments is therefore limited to three years for grazing and five for farming, mining, or business pur poses, except as to the Yaklmas, who may lease their "unimproved allotted" lands for agricultural purposes for "any term not exceeding ten years." With the view of Increasing the bene fits to be derived by Indian allottees from the leasing of their lands, the depart ment, on July 16, 1900, determined that future leases should provide for some specific Improvement, such as clearing and brealting of new land, erection of fences, barns, and other necessary permanent improvements, the character and value of which should be specifically stated in the lease; such substantial benefits being regarded as much more essential to the interests of the allottee than all money payment for rent would be. Under date of January 4, 1901, the at tention of the Indian Bureau was called to the fact that the majority of the leases executed under the above-mentioned pro visions of law did not sufficiently show the disability of the Indian allottee .or his inability to occupy or improve his allotment, and directions were given that all leases thereafter submitted for de partment action should show clearly the nature and extent of the disability or in ability of Ihe Indian owner of the land; If from old age, the exact or approxi mate age and physical condition should be given, etc. Changes in Leasing System. In view of the changes in the system of leasing, as indicated, the rules and regulations governing the same, approved September 22, 1894, were found to have become practically obsolete, and instruc tions were given the Indian Office, under date of June 7, 1901, to formulate a set of new rules and regulations to conform generally to the lines followed by the department In Its action ofT leases during the eight or ten months Immediately pre ceding that date. Although the act of May 31, 1900, above referred to, permitted the leasing of the Yakima (unimproved) lands for the period of ten years, the department has not heretofore deemed It advisable to ap prove such leases for more than five years; but In. view of numerous appli cations for the ten-year leases the appli cants claiming that the long term was necessary because of great expense for clearing, fencing, irrigating, etc. an In spector was directed to investigate the conditions on the Yakima Reservation and report as to the wisdom or neces sity of long-term leases in these cases. His report (received since the end of tho fiscal year) shows that leases of these lands for the maximum term provided by the act would not be advisable or bene ficial to the Ipdlans except In a few spe cial cases. He recommended, however, that the Yakima lands be classified for leasing purposes, and this is now being done under authority of the department. Until the last year, as previously in dicated. It was almost Impossible to ob tain full facts upon which to determine the actual status of allottees whose lands were-being leased, and many leases werp made which doubtless should have been wholly rejected or the terms for which the leases were to run curtailed, many leases having been made for two and three-year periods, and in some instances for five years. Under the present sys tem, inaugurated more than a. year ago, end the rules and regulations recently adopted for the government of the leas ing of allotments the department is more fully Informed of the facts in each case presented. and -cdnsequently Is better able I to supervise and control where- before i action was necessarily taken with some doubt as to its propriety. But notwith standing the limitations upon leasing al lotments, it is felt that manyallettees whose cases technically come within the provisions of the law as to "disability and "inability" are permitted to lease who, being able, should, by strict con- structlon of the law, be required to re- j main upon and work their allotments, as was evidently intended by Congress when it enacted the "general allotment act," under the terms of which most allot- ments have been made. By special leg- i Islatlon, however, the provisions of that act have been modified and the present system has grown up, in a measure put ting a premium upon idleness, and in a good many Instances an end to all In dustrial progress. ainst First Cultivate. Many protests against the system have been received and more stringent rules recommended, to the end that able-bodied allottees shall be required to at least cultivate or make usesfor grazing of a portion of their allotments before being permitted to lease any part thereof. The matter is now under consideration and further rules will be formulated, In future confining- full leasing privileges to those whose "disability" or "inability," --C- oo to be clearly and conclusively shown, ac tually disqualifies them from working any part of their allotments, and in a lesser degree to those whoso "disability" or "inability," also to be fully and con clusively shown, may be such as to pre vent them from working more than a small portion of their allotments, such part to be regulated and determined by the aqtual conditions; all others to be required to work at least 40 acres of their allotments. - In the last two Instances the allottees will be permitted to receive a portion of percentage of the income from the rental of their allotments, to enable them to make a start either in .stack raising or agriculture and for-general improvements, the remainder to be retained until the ex piration of the lease period, when they will be better qualified to make proper use of the same. The Northvrest Indians. The appraisement of the improvements of Indians on the ceded lands of the Fort Hall (Idaho) reservation, who elected to remove therefrom to the diminished re serve, provjded by the act of June b 1900 (31 Stat., G72), was completed during the year, and allotments were made to Indians who had located and de cided to remain on the ceded lands. The total appraised value of the Improvements Is .$5551 50, belonging to 23 Indian heads of families, and 717.17 acres were allotted to 90 allottees. The removal of the Wenatcble Indians, Washington, to the Colvllle reservation failed because the undertaking proved to be greater than anticipated, and con sequently a more expensive one. The matter will be brought to the attention of the next Congress. .. INDIANS AND ANIMALS. Should Be Made Important "Exhibits at 1U05 Fair. , SALEM, Nov. 29. (To the Editor.) Leave the selection of th'e site for holding the Lewis and Clark Fair to the local committee, In regard ttf the make-up ot which the suggestion Is ventured that the City of Vancouver ough't to have a repre sentation thereon. It seems to the writer that those Inter ested in making it attractive' and instruc tive or those who are or can be interested In the further development of this "Oregon of ours" (and by that I mean the Oregon of President Jefferson's day) should begin now to consider in. what we .can excel, and to take measures to prepare for the best possible exhibits in the iines of in dustry that past comparisons with the world's products of the same kinds gives us reason to believe we can yet excel. A world's want from ua is our forest products; and It seems to me that in rrtak- mg the best exhibit possible in that, a 4 double purppse of economy in building for the fair and proof of the excellence of the natural supply of our woods will be one of our best exhibits. At the interstate fair held, at Omaha the one piece of limber 60 feet in length attracted moro attention than any other item of our show there, and brought In creased commerce In timber to Oregon Immediately. At our National Centennial we received awards on our wheat, wool and fiax fibers. At the recently jclostd Pan-American Fair We seem to have received so many medals as to suggest the question to our stay-at- homes as to what the rest of the world Is doing, especially In horticulture. Four vears turn otip fnrmwr nf Morinn rv,,.T,tv years ago one farmer of Marlon County mado such an exhibit from his own farm and home as to cause an observant farm- er's wife from Iowa to doubt whether any single farm could produce such a range and excellence of products, and she visited the farm the next season to satisfy herself that the show had been honest and could be added to from the same land. Wo cannot vie with communities that are 200 years older In opportunities and C i Wealth than we are. Our buildings should illustrate, not their cost,, but the wealth' of our structural timber. I most heartllyi agree with Professor F. G. Young ,that the ethnology of the Northwest Paclric should receive great attention. We shoflla have a full show of all the wild animals, man Included, with samples of foods or at least chief food plants the latter used, and his clothing materials. To this might be added specimens of the domesticated animals and of the men and women who have superseded the native race and ameliorated the condition of its remnants perhaps too much. Every man and woman having their homes west of the Rocky Mountains owe to civilization their contributions toward Illustrating the changes wrought since the Lewis and Clark party found the way to the Pacific by running a gauntlet of star vation, and owed the incident of their dis covery of the Willamette or Multnomah" River to an enforced delay to hunt for or purchase food for a 10 days' subsistence, to enable them to reach their horses, with the upper Ncz Perces, as they had learned that the natives In the country they had to pass were In distress for food, It being the season between the exhaustion of the previous season's salmon harvest and arrival of a new run. Just having laid. down The Daily- Ore gonian of late date after reading the State Fish Warden's report, the question arises, Cannot the white man beat the native or Lewis and Clark's day, not only In pre serving the salmon food supply for mar ket, but show to visitors we hope to have that we can Increase the quantity and Im prove the quality of fish from, our grand river, as we have the meats from the land? Further, It goe3 without saying that breeding of domestic animal, which have superseded the buffalo, elk, antelope, mountain sheep and the various kinds ot deer, will not only make an exhibit to as tonish the natives, were any left astonlsn able, but Interest our visiting friends from Canada and Britain as well. In addition to the economy to us In us lng our superb forest product In build ing structures not designed to remain af ter the Fair, could we not establish a sal mon hatchery near by say at Oregon City using one' or two largo barges, moored to a point under the falls, whence a flow of water could be had In constant streams, In Humes, breeding-boxes, eye ing cteterns and feeding ponc3 even, so that visitors from a distance, as well as our own people, could visit and be In structed as well as Interested In pro cesses as easily learned as silk produc tion, how to make an acre of water pro duce more food than live acres ot land. 1 do not forget the ethnological lesson which may be taught at the same time and place. Native men and women who can manage a oanoe below the falls of the Willamette and strike salmon with a llsh spear or take a heavy salmon In a dip-net from the foaming Hood are no longer res idents at the falls; but they can yet be, and ought to be obtained. Real native and live Illustrations of the conditions ot human life, much, as It was 100 years ago, should be present If possible. I think there are yet men and women at the Warm Springs reservation who could il lustrate both spear and dip-net fishing, as well as horseback hunting on the barren ground, on Mule Deer, and while It is past time for seeing the spirited picture of the native woman renowlng the glorious free dom of her girlhood as Thomas N. Strong describes Mrs. James Burnie, of Cathel amct, If the managers of our. great Fair cannot get a Chinook canoe on all the Northwest Coast, there are still large cedar trees and white men who have rid den the waves with the Burnio family, and a good copy could now be got out in not many more days than it took years in the days of Chenamus. In concluding the foregoing suggestions I wish to thank Mr. Kuykendal for his spirited lecture recently In Tho Oregonian, and say apropos of the erection of pavil ions of trees rather than ot drcpsed lum ber, our friends on the north advertised their state wisely and well In that wav at Chicago In 1892. JOHN MINTO. m Forest Grove Raspherrlcn. FOREST GROVE. Nov., 27. To the Editor.) In The Oregonian mention was made of a cluster of ripe raspberries brought to The Oregonian office as being something remarkable for this season of the year. Allow me to state that our table has been well supplied with luscious raspber ries, nicer even than the first crop In Summer, ever since the last of October up to tho present time, and yet they come well-formed, green and ripe ones. Our family consists of six persons, so you may know that we have consumed a good many quarts of berries. We have also sent berries to our sick friends. The bushes did not grow against the fence, either, but out in the open. Tally one for Forest Grove. A. N. BEECHER. Lillian BurKharf, One of fhc Best Kno Artists on the Vaudeville Stage, Says DR.

Summer at the Shore and Sum mer in tho Store, It is sometimes remarked that the re quirements of society entail as much hard work upon a woman as she would perform in office or in store. That mtry be true. The woman who dances the night through may travel more miles than are walked by the woman behind the counter. Her social obligations mav be-as exacting as business duties. But if the society woman dances all night, she can sleep all day. If her calls must be duly paid, she has her carriage in which o drive. She is not at the mercy of an alarm clock in the morning, or of store routine during the day. And, above all, after the round of winter gayeties, there's the sea shore for the summer, with its freedom and its health giving ocean bree2es. The chances of health are all in favor of the girl that goes to the shore and all against the girl that stays in the store. SUMMER. IN THE GITV is unendurable, says society with it3 luxurious surroundings. What must summer in a city store be? At the best it is trying to nerves and temper. The long, languid days, the oppressive atmo sphere, the monotonous round of duties are all trying. And when to this is ad ded womanly weakness, the condition is well-nigh unbearable. And yet it must be borne for money must be earned if life is to be sustained. Every working woman owes it to her self to bring her physical health to the highest standard of excellence not only because it increases her happiness, but also because it increases her earning ca pacity. It is a cruel fact that the floor walker has, as a rule, no sympathy with the backache and weakness which impel a woman to seek an occasional moment's rest for her aching back, if only by lean ing rigidly against the shelves behind her. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription makes weak women strong and sick women well. Hundreds of thousands of women have testified to this fact. w I write a few lines to thank you for your advice and grand remedies, to which I owe my health, and perhaps my life," says Miss Flora I.
