NELSON DID NOT FOUNDER
ARRIVED AT PORT TOWNSEXD
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.
TVas Picked Up by the Steamer
Walla "Walla and Towed North
Damages Are Not Serious.
PORT TOWNSBND, Wash., Dec. 5.
The British ship Nelson was picked up In
distress by the steamship "Walla "Walla,
and towed here today. The Nelson had a
marvelous escape from, being consigned
to the bottom of the sea, according to the
captain of that craft. She crossed the
Columbia River bar 10 days at;o, and be
fore she "had got a great distance encoun
tered a severe storm and was roughly
handled by the elements. Her cargo or
wheat shifted, causing her to list to star
board and go almost on her beam. ends.
In this condition she was picked up by a
tug and an effort was made to tow her to
Astoria, but the tug had to abandon her.
Later the powerful tug Tatoosh took hold
of her. but found It Impossible to tow her
In, owing to the fury of the gale and high
seas sweeping the bar. So the Tatoosh
decided to tow her to Puget Sound, but
had not proceeded far when the gale in
creased in fury and on Tuesday night at
10 o'clock the hawser parted and tho
Tatoosh was unable to llnd the vessel,
which had to weather the storm as best
E!ie could.
Tho Nelson fired rockets and burnd
liashllghts all night, but failed to attract
the attention of vessels, but on Wednes
day morning the Walla "Walla picked her
up north of Gray's Harbor. A high sea
was on at the time, and it was with much
difficulty that a hawser was gotten on
"board. The hull of the Nelson Is practi
cally intact, but her bulwarks were
smashed, lifeboats gone, forerlgglng car
ried away and cabins damaged. There
were only three inches of water in her
hold. The extent of the damage to her
cargo of wheat Is not known. Captain
Biondi. Lloyd's agent, will go to Seattle
tonight and a survey will be held there
tomorrow
STORY OF CAPTAIN HALIi.
"Where He PIcIced the Nelson Up,
and the Tow to Port.
VICTORIA, B. C. Dec. 5. The steamer
Walla Walla, Captain Hall, which picked
up the British hark Nelson off Cape Flat
tery at 3 o'clock on Wednesday and towed
ner to Port Townsend, arrived here this
evening. When sighted about 40 miles
southeast of Cape Flattery by the Walla
Walla, the Nelson was in a dilapidated
condition, and was laboring heavily In the
big sea which was piling up under the
effects of a southeast gale which was
"blowing. The ship had a heavy list, her
"bulwarks were gone and her headgear had
been carried away. She was flying a sig
nal which the officers of the Walla Walla
read, "Can you take me in tow?" Think
ing there must be some mistake about
this, as the ship seemed to be going along
all right, Captain Hall passed under the
stern of the vessel and asked the captain
what he wanted. He then learned from
the captain's own lips that he wanted to
"be taken in tow, and Captain Hall says he
asked him to tow him to Seattle. Captain
Hall replied that he could not do that,
"but would' take him into the Straits, where
he could secure a tug. Captain Hall
steamed to within 200 yards of the ship,
and, rigging a flyllne, threw it onto the
ship. By this means a steel hawser was
stretched between the two vessels. The
steamer proceeded all night under slow
steam, and when morning broke they had
reached smoother water and better time
was made. Captain Hall says he was
afraid to drop his tow when they got in
side the Cape, as she had a decided list,
her cargo having shifted, and her crew
was exhausted from trying to straighten
out the cargo and afterwards working at
the pumps when the vessel was taking
water, there "being three inches in her
bold.
The captain of tho Nelson expressed
himself as being much dissatisfied at the
action of the captain of the Tatoosh in
leaving him off the Columbia. He says
the weather was rough, but the night was
rlear. The hawser wore away as it
passed under the ship's cutwater. Upon
Ills arrival in Seattle Captain Hall will
libel the Nelson for a large amount as
salvage for the company and crew.
TOWED INTO ELLIOTT BAY.
Officer in ChnrRe of the Nelson Did
Not Know When Hawser Parted.
SEATTLE, Dec. 6. The British ship Nel
son was towed Into Elliott Bay last eve
ning by the tug Holyoke.
The Nelson first encountered bad weath
er a week ago, about 135 miles west or
Astoria. She struck a hurricane which
threw the ship on her beam ends, tore
away every sail, and shifted the cargo
until she had at least a three-foot list to
starboard. How the ship managed to live
in the hurricane is due entirely to the
fact that the storm did not last long. Tho
next morning, under the supervision or
Captain George Perrlam, .the master ot
the vessel, a new set of sails were set.
and the ship started on Its course to Asto
ria, arriving outside the iar last Tuesday
morning. It happened that the tug Ta
toosh was the only tug available, and it
was late In the afternoon before she tied
onto the Nelson. At first it was attempt
ed to get the vessel inside the harbor at
Astoria, but this had to be abandoned.
The tug then change.d its course towards
Puget Sound, in an endeavor to bring the
ship into shelter.
After the tug was well under way for
Puget Sound, Captain Perrlam, of the
ship, went to his cabin to get a little
rest, thinking that the tug would not en
counter any trouble In getting the ship
into shelter. It was S o'clock in the even
ing that his second mate came rushing
Into the cabin, and said the ship did not
seem to be moving forward, and that for
some time he had not been able to see
the tug's lights. Captain Perrlam imme
diately went upon deck, and found that
the hawser connecting the tug and the
ship had parted, and that the ship was
rapidly drifting toward the shore. At this
time the vessel was off Shoalwater Bay.
and the wind was blowing a furious gale.
The captain immediately set all of the
sail he could and got the vessel away from
the shore, for the ship had been rapidly
approaching it, and the lights from the
bay could easily be seen. In the meantime
Captain Perrlam had had shot off several
rockets in an endeavor to let the tug
know of its whereabouts, but his efforts
did not meet with any success. But the
ship was under fair control by this time,
and succeeded in living through the night.
By morning the Nelson had made her way
a considerable distance north of Gray's
Harbor, having been sent along by the ter
rific force of the wind. It was not long
before the steamship Walla Walla was
sighted, and Captain Hall, of that vessel,
consented to tow the Nelson as far as
Port Townsend. It was no easy matter
for the big steamship to hitch to the then
unwieldy sailing craft, for there was a
high sea on. and the greatest skill had to
be exercised in bringing the ships along
side. After considerable delay a connec
tion was effected and the ship brought into
Port Townsend.
HAD ONE BOAT SMASHED.
Horila Strikes a Heavy Sea and Goes
to Victoria for Examination.
The Norwegian steamship Horda, which
crossed out of the river with the Lang
hank last Saturday evening, put into Vic
toria after leaving here, and reported that
she had been hit by a sea after leaving
the river, and it was thought that she haa
been injured seriously. One of her boats
was smashed, but aside from this there
was no damage of consequence. A diver
made an examination of the hull, and,
landing everything all right, the vessel
proceeded on the way. The Langbank,
which left the -river at the same time, has
apparently proceeded on her way. The
master sent back word after leaving here
that if his ship was damaged he would
put Into San Francisco. As he has not re
ported at the Bay City, the vessel was
probably uninjured.
BELEX AXD LATIMER,
Two More Wheat Cargoes Ready for
the Lome Trip Around the Horn.
An even half dozen cargoes for the first
four days of the week were rounded out
yesterday, when the British ship Latimer
and the French bark Belen cleared. The
Latimer was dispatched by Balfour. Guth
rie &. Co., and goes to Queenstown or
Falmouth for orders, with 9S.5S6 bushels
of wheat. The Belen was dispatched by
Epplnger & Co. for the same port, and
carries 111.231 bushels of wheat. Twr and
possibly three more cargoes will be dis
patched this week, but unless some of
the overdue fleet gets around by the eariy
part of next week the business will come
to a standstill right at a time when it
should be the liveliest. The Pembroke
shire is dally expected from the Orient,
and will be the next steamer cargo to get
away from the port.

Yobiik Chinese Excluded.
PORT TOWNSEND, Dec. 5. The Treas
ury Department has turned down two
minor sons of a Chinese merchant of Wal
la Walla, named Eng Go. The latter was
on his way from China, accompanied by
his two sons, and Just before reaching
this port on the steamship Olympla died

application for admission they were
refused by Collector Huestls, and the
matter was taken to the department,
which sustained the Collector's decision,
and the boys have been ordered deported.
Eng Go has considerable property in
terest In Walla Walla, and the two sons
are his only heirs. It is understood they
will, after returning to China, make an

ASTORIA, Dec. 5.-The master of the
Norwegian ship Olivia, which arrived In
port on December '2, reports that on No
vember 28 he spoke the American ship
Benjamin Sewell, of Boston, Mass., and
she wished to be reported "all well." The
position of the vessel was not given.
O. C. Hensel, the clamdlggcr, picked up
yesterday on North Beach a piece of a
ship's boat about 15 feet long. It was
painted white, both inside and out, but
there was nothing about it to show from
whence it came. He also picked up a
piece of a ship's rail. Both of these gave
the appearance of having been In the
water but a short time.
The crew of the tug George R. Vosburg
has been discharged, and she will be laid
up here for the present.
Torpcdo-Boat in Collision.

ADVICE FOR ASTORIANS.
"SandbaKKlnj? Investors Must Slop,"
Says Samuel Elmore.
"If Astoria wants to secure new enter
prises, and accomplish the establishment
of new industries, the owners of desirable
sites will have to be .made to see the folly
of attempting to sandbag prospective in
vestors into buying land at Impossible
prices." said Samuel Elmore, of Atnrn
yesterday, at the Portland. Mr. Ehnore
is vice-president of the Columbia River
Packers Association, and one of the most
prominent capitalists and business men of
the city by the sea."
"The failure of the flour mill project,"
continued Mr. Elmore, "should be an ob
ject lesson. For It demonstrates that peo
ple who wish to locate in Astoria have
no idea of paying speculative prices for
building sites, when other cities are in
the field with offerings of valuable con
cessions. The flour mill was backed by
responsible business men, who asked for
no bonus or other inducement, save that
land be sold them at a fair figure. They
offered to pay $10,000 for a site, and to
Invest a large amount of capital In a "mill
plant. Land Values rose surprisingly when
the proposition was made public, and the
Investors, were scared on!. Now the re
port comes from Seattle that the mill
Is being erected there, and It should have
been Astoria.
"Portland will be the Chicago of the
Northwest It is destined to because the
financial and commercial center of all this
North Pacific Coast country. Astoria's
participation in the onward march will be
of meager proportions unless sufficient
inducements are offered to attract cap
ital. The grandparents of the present
generation in Astoria acquired land in
large tracts, and held to it, because they
had faith In tho ultimate development
of the region. The children of the orig
inal holders have been selling town lots
whenever opportunity offered, but there
has been no attempt to meet large inves
tors even half way. Until that is done
Astoria will be In the ruck in the parade,
and may drop out of the procession entirely."

rial, and intimates that Oregon oak would
be preferable. A leading boatbullder in
this city authoritatively states that the
life of an average stick of Oregon fir Is
greater than that of Oregon oak for ship
building purposes.
Recently, a Seattle lumber concern
shipped 100 carloads of treated fir blocks
to Indianapolis. Ind., for repavlng one of
the principal Htreets in that city. It Is a
well-known fact that Indiana produces
some of the finest oak In the United
States, and If oak lumber had been found
to be such a desirable material for paving
purposes, ns Sir. Young Intimates, It
would hardly seem probable that the peo
ple of the Hoosler state would send thou
sands of miles away from home in order
to supply themselves with an inferior
paving material.
Chief Engineer Kennedy, of the O. R. &
N. Co., had a series of tests made of Ore
gon fir by the Pittsburg testing laboratory
on June 5, 1E9G; here are the results:
Transverse strength White oak, COO
pounds per square inch; fir, 849 pounds.
Tensile strength Oak, all classes, 10,000
pounds; fir, 11,131 pounds. Compressive
strength White oak. 7000 pounds; fir, SG07
pounds. In this relation, it must be stated
that the tests of fir were made from some
pieces of bridge chord after 12 years' serv
ice, yet despite this fact the superiority
of Oregon fir is shown in every test.
If care be taken in the selection of treat
ed blocks, which should be cut from good,
strong, not too old growth of timber,
when the sap is down, and the street care
fully laid and maintained annually as
shown by Mr. Young's letter, Oregon fir
will make and Is making a very desirable
and valuable paving material.
The people of the Pacific Coast States
will certainly not, with a steadily Increas
ing demand for fir, contemplate seriously
substituting gum or Jarrah wood from
Australia, even for street pavements.

EXPLAINED BY OTHERS.
Foreign Papers Print a Story Attrib
uting: Much to the Sobriety of
the "Workmen.
The subjoined article, which has ap
peared In papers in Belgium, France and
England, was sent from this country
for publication in Europe by M. Rudolph
Meyhoffer, who came from Brussels a3
an international delegate to the Young
Men's Christian Association Jubilee in
Boston last June. He stayed long
enough to study Industrial and educa
tional conditions in our leading states,
including the burning question of Amer
ican trade supremacy. The conclusions
of this article presenting a glimpse of
how "others see us" cannot fall to bo
of Interest to all American readers.
"England ano other European countries
are anxiously asking for the causes of the
commercial supremacy of the United
States. A recent number of the English
edition of the 'Review of Reviews' says:
"Cassler's Magazine (an English period
ical) contains an interesting series of
short articles by some of the most prom
inent engineers and business men in the
United States upon the question of Amer
ican competition. Most of the writers
agree In saying that the American work
man Is the chief agent in enabling Ameri
can manufacturers to take first place In
the world. Walter MacFarland, of Pitts
burg, gives one important reason for this.
He says:
" 'It appears that the American work
men are much better time-keepers- and
far less given to dissipation than those
in Great Britain. One of the best firms
of British shipbuilders, which has had no
trouble with its men for years, recently
stated that there is a loss of time,
amounting to nearly 20 per cent, due
largely to drunkenness. If anything
approaching these figures is true gen
erally, there can be no surprise that
(English) firms open to competition from
well-managed American works should
have a hard time.
"In Inquiring as to the cause of this
greater sobriety of the American, the fact
appears that 20 years ago business in
terests in the United States paid no at
tention to the effect of the beverage use
of alcohol or of tobacco on working abil
ity. About that time, the now almost
universal study of physiology, which In
cludes with other laws of health thoso
which relate to the nature and effects of
alcoholic drinks and other narcotics, be
gnn to be a legal requirement for all pu
pils in the public schools of this coun
try. During the past 10 or 15 years the
children have been carrying from the
schools to the homes of the 75,000.000 peo
ple of the .United States the story of
the evil nature and bad effects of alco
holic drinks and other narcotics. As a
result of tho diffusion of this knowledge,
the railroads of the United States now
almost universally refuse employment to
men who drink, whether on or off duty.
Total Abstinence Required.
"Hon. Carroll D. Wright's Labor Bu
reau investigations show that more than
75 per cent of the employers of skilled
labor in the United States require total
abstinence of their employes, and 50 per
cent of the employers of unskilled labor
demand the same. Th.?se requirements, the
cordial acquiescence In them by the em
ployed, and the commercial supremacy
which this knowledge helped to secure to
the United States, have been promoted
by the truth taught by the school that
alcoholic drinks injure working ability.
"The different reception given by work
men to the employers' demand for ab
stinence where scientific temperance Is
not taught In the public schools Is well
illustrated in the following Incident: The
THE "ROSE CITY."
manager of the Borslg factory in Ger
many recently posted an order forbidding
the workmen to bring Into the factory
beer or other spirituous liquors or to
drink the same during working hours.
The workmen, numbering over 1000, held
a meeting and objected to the order. Tho
next day thqy conspicuously carried in
their beer. During the excitement caused
by the order, a pamphlet appeared by an
old factors' official who affirmed that the
use of alcoholic drinks was detrimental
to the laborer's own interests. He re
ferred to the cleverness and sobriety of
the American workmen, which makes
them able to do very exact and precise
work, which he says is not possible in
German industry because of the drink
ing habits of the laboring classes.
"The American workman does not re
sent the employer's demand for absti
nence, because he has learned, often from
his child in the public schools, that alco
hol not only dulls the brain but weakens
the nerve control of muscle that Is neces
sary In the precision essential for fino
work.
"The nomination for knighthood of Sir
Hiram Maxim, the American-born Inven
tor, for his work in England, was one
of the latest official acts of Queen Vic-
toria. In an article in the June number
of The World's Work,' Sir Hiram fur
nishes indirect testimony to tho samo
point. While describing the results of
the English trades unions, he adds:
" The English workman spends a great
part of his earnings in beer, tobacco and
betting; he has no ambition.' Of course
not, for beer in dulling the brain dulls
ambition. The American workman,' he
says, 'wishes to go on; he accomplishes
a great deal more work in a day than
any other workman in the world." 'He
does not drink,' says another English
writer.
England Beginning to Sec It.
"England is beginning to see the differ
ence in results between occasional talks
by temperance advocates to school chil
dren and the systematic graded public
school study of this topic required by tho
law in the United States. At a recent
meeting in Birmingham, addressed by tho
archbishop of Canterbury, the presiding
officer, Edwin Smith, said:
" 'We are being beaten In skill by
America. She has been lavish In spend
ing money In educating the brains of her
people while we have been lavish in pois
oning them. If we spent per head on
alcohol the same as America, our drink
bill would be about 66.000.000 less than
It now is. We cannot succeed commer-

dally while we are handicapped In this
way io the extent of 4S per cent. The
great mass of the working people of thl3
country are totally Ignorant of the effect
of drink.' He said that England ought
not to leave the education on this sub
ject merely to the temperance societies
but that It 'should be undertaken by- the
state. Surely if the state must encourago
the traffic for revenue It should In fair
ness educate every child in government
schools as to the nature and danger of
alcohol, and the benefits of total absti
nence.' He added In closing: 'If the state
will only educate the children against
strong drink. . . . England commer
cially may even yet be saved.'
"It has been wisely said that 'Indus
trial supremacy belongs to that country
which enjoys the cheapest materials, tho
most improved machinery' and the most
efficient labor. As clear brains and steady
nerves are needed for the preparation of
both material and machinery, as well as
for their use in production, that nation,
other things being equal, whose brains
are not dulled by alcohol and other nar
cotics will win in the world's competi
tions." It's a mistake to go on losing appetite
and strength. Hood's Sarsaparilla cor
rects it.

BUREAU OF FORESTRY.

Plnntinjr and Working Hand-in-Hand
With Farmers.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1. Secretary Wil
son is evidently very proud of the new
Bureau of Forestry that has been In op
eration throughout the past fiscal year,
under the Department of Agriculture, be
ing In direct charge of Glfford PInchot.
In his annua! report, the Secretary speaks
warmly of the work done by this bureau,
and it Is evident from, his comments that
he believes it has a bright and growing
future. In fact, the comments of Secre
tary Wilson tend strongly to confirm a be
lief now current In Washington, that It
will not be long before the management
and control of all public forests and forest
reserves will be vested In the Department
of Agriculture, rather than In the Interior
Department, as at present.
The administration of forest reserves by
this latter department has not been a suc
cess, and the new regulations Issued by
Secretary Hitchcock are in direct con
formity with the Ideas that have been
advanced by the Forestry Bureau of the
Agricultural Department from the first.
It Is known, moreover, that a number of :
oinclals of the Interior Department are of
the opinion that forest reserve adminis
tration 13 a matter that should be left to
the Agricultural Department, and they
have so suggested to the Secretary.
Work of the Bureau.
JThe work of the Forestry Bureau of the
Department of Agriculture Is conducted
along three lines:
First Forest management, which In
volves the preparation and execution of
working plans for Federal, state and pri
vate forest lands.
Second Forest Investigation, which in
cludes the study of commercial trees, of
economic tree planting, of forest fires,
grazing, lumbering, forest products and
other Important lines of research.
Third The making and maintenance of
records which cover the work of the bu
reau. In his annual report Secretary Wilson
says:
The Bureau of Forestry has before It a fu
ture rich In possibilities ot useful work if its
resources do not fall too for behind Its actual
needs. I have not hesitated to recommend a
considerably Increased appropriation for this
bureau for the coming year, because of tho
vat Interests which depend upon forest reser
vation. In a very real sense, an appropriation
for these purposes protects and promotes the
Interests, among others, of all that vast brxly
of our citizens to whom tho success of Irriga
tion, mining, grazing, transportation or the
timber trade are of primary Importance.
This bureau has been In existence but
one year, yet In that brief time It has
made extensive studies of the hemlock,
red fir and redwoods of the Pacific Coas.t,
as well as of the yellow pines of that and
other sections. And yet the work ha as
yet been just begun. One of the most im
portant and promising lines of work of
the bureau Is Its study of economic tree
planting, and its co-operation with farm
ers and others in making forest planta
tions. It will be seen at a glance that the work
of this bureau has a much wider scope
than the forestry work of the Interior De
partment. This bureau is designed and
operated with certain fixed ends In view.
It is striving to accomplish certain spec
ified things In every state In the Union,
and It has a capable and efficient force
of field and office employes with whom to
accomplish these several purposes. A con
flict between the forestry division of the
Agricultural Department and the forestry
forces of the Interior Department cannot
be avoided. The two will-often cover the
same ground simultaneously, or one after
the other, thus wasting good time and
effort. There would seem to be, and by
many officials in Washington, is believed
to be, a great many weighty reasons why
all forestry affairs should be left to one
department, and In point of equipment and
efficiency there can bo no question as to
which Is the better equipped for the work.

NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA
A CURE FOR IT.
Not a. Patent Cnre-All, Nor a Modern
3HracIe," lint Simply a Rational
Cure for Dyspepsia.
In these days of humbuggery and de
ception the manufacturers of patent
medicines as a rule seem to think their
medicines will not sell unless they claim
that it will cure every disease under tha
sun. And they never think of leaving
out dyspepsia and stomach troubles. They
are sure to claim that their nostrum is
absolutely certain to cure every dyspep
tic, and he need look no further.
In the face of these absurd claims it
Is refreshing to note that the proprietors'
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have care
fully refrained from malting undue claims .
or false representations regarding tho
merits of this most excellent remedy for '
dyspepsia and stomach troubles. They
make but one claim for It, and that is, '
that for Indigestion and various stomach
troubles Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Is
a radical cure. They go no farther than
this, and any man or woman suffering
from Indigestion, chronic or nervous dys
pepsia, who will give the remedy a trial
will find that nothing is claimed for it,
that the facts will not fully sustain.
It Is a modern discovery, composed ot
harmless vegetable Ingredients acceptable
to the weakest or most delicate stomach.
Its great success in curing stomach
troubles Is duo to the fact that the medi
cal properties are such that it will di
gest whatever wholesome food Is taken
Into the stomach, no matter whether the
stomach is in good working order or
not. It rests the overworked organ and .
replenishes the body, the blood, the
nerves, creating a healthy appetite, gives
refreshing sleep and the blessings which
always accompany a good digestion and
proper assimilation of food.
In using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets no
dieting Is required. Simply eat plenty of
wholesome food and take these tablets at
each meal, thus assisting and resting tho
stomach, which rapidly regains its proper
digestive power, when the tablets will
be no longer required.
Nervous Dyspepsia Is simply a condi
tion in which some portion or portions of
the nervous system are. not properly nour
ished. Good digestion invigorates the
nervous system and every organ In tho
body.
Any druggist will tell you Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets give universal satisfaction.
When a Japanese connoisseur breaks some
precious piece of pottery or porcelain, ho
docs not throw It away with disdain, nei
ther does he try to deceive the casual ob
server Into the belief that it is unbroken.
Instead, he has it joined together, gener
ally with gold lacquer. In such a fashion
that the fracture Is boldly shown and
commented on. as it were, by the frame
exposition of the method by which It is
made good. Curiously enough, a distinct
ly new and charmingly decorative effect
is in most cases added by these Irregular'
gold lines, while the sense of craftsman
ship is tickled by the marvelous skill ex
hibited by the repairer In thus welding to
gether the two dissimilar materials. Truth
is preserved at no loss of artistic beauty;
indeed once more it Is made clear that the
two may always walk hand in hand.
