MANY SHIPS IN THE RIVER
GRAIN FLEET IX POUT NOW 20J3I
DERS THIRTY VESSELS.
Tirelve Arrivals Within the Past
Six DaysDecline In Freights
Slace Last Year.
Portland harbor Is again filling up with
grain ships, the first of the Heet which
reached Astoria last week showing up In
this city Sunday and Monday. Each of
the O. R. & N. Co.'s big towboats brought
two of the gralncarrlers, the Thompson
leading with the French bark La Roche
faucauld and the German bark Seestera.
She arrived up Sunday afternoon, and the
Harvest Queen followed shortly after
wards with the Bardowle and Formosa.
Yesterday the Ocklahama brought up the
rear with the Pax and the Anarus. The
fleet In the lower harbor was increased
yesterday by the arrival of the British
ship Irby from Newcastle, and the Ger
man bark Bertha from, Santos. These ships
with the William Mitchell and Glenlul,
which arrived in Saturday, leave two more
double tows to come up with the Har
vest Queen and the R. R. Thompson. Tne
Queen left down yesterday with the Rlv
ensdale and the Thompson will follow this
morning with the American bark Harry
Morse, which has Just finished- loading
1.000,000 feet ot lumber at the Eastern
Lumber Company's mill.
Since last "Wednesday 12 gralncarrlers
have arrived, and in addition to 11 load
ed ships In the river there were seven al
ready in Portland discharging ballast and
loading wheat. Of this total of 19 ships
In the river to load, not to exceed four
will finish this month, and January will
start off with at least 15 ships In the river.
- As there are still two or three due, this
number will undoubtedly be increased
within the next week. There will be at
least one steamer due shortly after Jan
uary 1, and as every steamer carries the
equivalent of two sailing vessel cargoes,
January shipments will be very heavy.
The San Francisco Bulletin, In mention
ing the wheat exporting business on the
Coast, says:
"Grain clearings from this port this
month are averaging a cargo for each
business day. There were 15 cargoes
cleared from the 1st to the 18th, Inclusive,
and three loaded vessels in the stream
waiting for clearance papers. About a
dozen more are loading, most of whlcli
ought to finish and clear by the end of
the month. Portland is going to give San
Francisco a close run this monJLh, notwith
standing the handicap of vessels ready for
loading. Puget Sound ports are doing
fairly well In wheat loading, consider
ing the limited number of vessels to take
cargoes."
DISCRIMINATION ALLEGED.
Foreign Steamer Lines Refuse Fair
Play to American Shippers.
NEW YORK, Dec 23. According to the
Journal of Commerce the lumber deal
ers have Joined issue with the millers of
the Northwest In objecting to the "Lon
don clause" which the London steamship
lines Insist shall be inserted in all bills of
lading. Elliott Lang, secretary of the
National Lumber Dealers' Asssociatlon,
has forwarded to Senator Frye a state
ment showing the interest of the lumber
people In the matter. Sir. Lang, In part,
said:
"The lines engaged in the London trade
have Inserted in their bills of lading a
clause known as the London clause, and
it is against this clause that most par
ticular objections are raised. The prin
cipal ground for complaint against this
clause is that it is not enforced against
any cargo except that originating in
American ports. I am In receipt of au
thentic Information from London Import
ers to this effect, and am cited, as a
particular Instance, to mahogany moving
from'TJexfco.
"My correspondent states that his ma
hogany consignments moving from Mex
ico to the port of London direct are
landed on the quay free of charge: but
where such cargo moves by way of the
port of New York, for Instance, and is
transported at that port by way of the
London line, even under a true bill of
lading, the New York to London liner as
sesses this charge against the cargo, and
we are informed that in some Instances
where the English consignee refuses to
pay the charge because it is not provided
for-in the bill of lading, the New York
to London line recharges this expense
against Its Mexican connection."
FREIGHTS ARE LOWER.
Rlversdale Receives $10,000 Less
Than She Received Lnst Year.
Ocean freights at 35 shillings are consid
erably higher than they h,ave been at
-times in the past, but they are so much
lower than they were about a year ago
"that the wheatgrower has some cause for
congratulation, and the shipowner Is prob
ably disgruntled in a corresponding de
gree. A good illustration of the big differ
ence which a year can make In shipown
ers' profits Is shown, in the case of the
British ship Riversdale, which was cleared
yesterday by Kerr. GIfford & Co., for
Queenstown or Falmouth for orders with
136,244 bushels of wheat, valued at $S1,740.
The same vessel was cleared September
25. 1900, by Glrvln & Eyre with 136,900 bush
els of wheat, valued at $82,000. The freight
money paid the vessel on her trip last
year was 541,437, while on her present trip
she is paid $30,6C0. As there Is a good
profit in operating sailing vessels at pres
ent rates. It Is apparent that shipowners
laid by snug sums last year to tide over
the periods of depression which come
round periodically.
ROUND TRIP A YEAR.
Dntch Baric Pax Left Portland Last
Christmas.
The Dutch bark Pax and the British ship
Anarus arrived up last evening In tow of
the steamer Ocklahama. The Pax came
within two days of getting back to Port
land on the anniversary of her departure
from this city. She sailed from Portland
last Christmas with a cargo of flour
shipped by the Portland Flouring Mills
Company, and at the time of her depart
ure had the distinction of going out under
the highest rate that was paid out of this
port for 10 years. She enjoyed this dis
tinction but a short time, as she was
followed by the British ship Cromarty
shire, which secured 52s 6d, which will
stand for a while as the high limit for
grain freights out of Portland. Since
leaving Portland a year ago the Pax has
changed owners, having passed Into the
hands of Roberts & Co., owners of the
Andreta, Andorlna, the late Andrada, An
delana and other vessels well known in
this port. They bought her intending to
place her under the British flag, but it is
reported that she has been sold again,
this time to Norwegian owners.
THE RUTH NOT YET FLOATED.
Barnes Are Not Largre Enough to
Raise Her Work Proceeds Slowly.
OORVALLIS. Or., Dec 23. Considerable
difficulty Is encountered In raising the
sunken steamer Ruth. The work began
Saturday morning, continued all day Sun
day and today, and tonight the problem
Is still unsolved. The chief trouble Is
that the barges are not large enough to
raise the hull to the water level, and in
consequence bulkheadlng and pumping out
bos to be resorted to. The size of the
hole in the bottom has not yet been de
termined, but three bulkheads, one each
aft, forward and amidships, will have to
be constructed. The work Is under direc
tion of Mr. Carson, chief carpenter in the
O. R. & N. shipyards at Portland.
Notice to Mariners.
Notice is hereby given of the follow
ing changes in the aids to navigation In
this district, which afreet the List of Bea
sons and Buoys, Pacific Coast, isoi:
"Wlllapa Bay, main channel across the bar

Lively Lumber Trade
The Eastern Lumber Company yesterday
cleared the American bark Harry Morse
for San Francisco with 944,951 feet of lum
ber. She will leave down the river this
morning. The British steamship Forerlc,
which cleared Saturday evening, left down
the river Sunday. She carried 2,300,000 feet
of lumber. The schooner W. J. Patterson
is loading a cargo of something over 1,000,.
000 feet at the berth Just vacated by the
Forerlc These shipments, together with
numerous smaller consignments going for
ward on small coasters, give that end of
town a decidedly lively appearance along
the water front.
New Jnpanesc Steamers.
TACOMA, Dec 23. Japanese advices
state that the Nippon Yusen Kalsha, or
Japan Mall Steamship Company, has de
cided to build in Japanese shipyards 16
steamers between now and 1907. These
steamers will be used to augment Its
great fleet now running to America, Aus

SUMMARY FOR SIX LEADING OREGON INDUSTRIES.
The lumber industry leads all others In Oregon in the value of its
products, according to C. H. Mclsaac, secretary of the Manufacturers' As
sociation of the Northwest. In his report furnished the secretary of tho
Board of Agriculture, to be placed In M. D. Wisdom's annual report to
the Governor, Mr. Mclsaac inserted the appended table. Agriculture
and stockxalsing are left out, because Mr. Mclsaac was only treating on
the manufacturing industries. He compares the years 1S90 and 1900, and
shows a. marked advance in 10 years:

may be prepared to meet the growing
competition offered by new steamers of
other lines running to the Orient.
Captain Is Very Sick.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 23. The French
bark Connetable de Rlchemont arrived to
day with her captain nearly at the point
of death. The vessel comes here from
Cardiff with 3000 tons of coal. October 1
she sprang a leak and for nearly a
month the crew had to pump one hour in
every four in order to keep her clear.
Then the leak was located and the riv
ets made fast. In the meantime Captain
Thoreux had to take to his bed, thor
oughly worn out. Since then he has been
gradually growing worse, and Mate Ceu
ley brought the vessel Into port. As soon
as the anchor was down Captain Thoreux
was taken to the French Hospital.
Gray's Harbor Boatbuilding.
HOQUIAM, Dec 23. The keel of a four
masted schooner for the well-known San
Francisco firm of J. J. McKlnnon &. Co.
was laid at the Hoqulam shipyards last
Saturday. This will be a sister ship ot
the A. L. Coats, recently launched at the
yard. Her dimensions will be 190 feet over
all, 160 feet keel, 39& feet beam and 13
feet depth of hold; will carry 750,000 feet
of lumber and will cost 542,500.
There is also being built at this yard
an oyster boat for Wlllapa Harbor, 42
feet long, 13 feet wide and 3 feet draft.
Not Scrlonsly Damaged.
SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 23. The work
of pumping out the ship C. F. Sargent,
which was scuttled yesterday to extin

New French Subsidy Act.
New York Journal of Commerce.
The maritime bounty law which has
Just got through the French Chamber ot
Deputies is the third In the series, of
measures which were designed to keep
the French met chant marine abreast or
those of England and Germany. The rea
son for this third is that the first two
proved most disappointing. The leading
difference between the new measure and
the one that Immediately preceded it .is
that the aid formerly given to sailing ves
sels Is taken away and a considerable In
crease of subsidy Is granted to steamers.
In Introducing this new bill M. Millerand,
the .Minister of Commerce, said that the
proportion of French trade carried in
French vessels had decreased In eight
years from 30 per cent to 20 per cent ot
the total. In contrast with these figures
English vessels are carrying 6S per cent
of English trade and German vessels are
carrying 57 per cent of German trade
The present measure will give French
built vessels a construction bounty of 65
francs per ton on hulls and 27 francs per
ton on engines, 133 francs for navigation
and 2 francs for customs duties, making
in all 227 francs per ton, which the Min
ister ot Commerce calculated was just
over 50 per cent of the cost of building a
ship In a Fronch yard. This estimates
the cost of French construction at nearly
$90 per ton; figures published by the Com
missioner of Navigation indicate the cost
of construction of a steamer of 8000 tons
and about 12 knots in an English yard at
a little more or a little less than JG2. The
wage level is higher In England than in
France." "
A GREAT ANNUAL BANQUET
GATHERING OF THE NEW ENGLAND
SOCIETY OF PENNSYLVANIA.
Principal Speaker Was Associate
Justice Brewer Minister Wu Also
Responded to a Toast.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec 23. The twenty
first annual banquet of the New England
Society of Pennsylvania was held today
In Horticultural Hall, covers being laid
for nearly 400 members and guests. Guests
were present from New York, Baltimore,
Washington, Boston and other cities. As
sistant United States Attorney-General
Jemes M. Beck, president of the society,
opened the speech-making with a brief
address, In which he mentioned the name
of George Dewey. This was the signal
for an outbreak of applause, such as was
not repeated during the remainder of the
evening. The principal speaker was Asso
ciate Justice David Brewer, of the Su
preme Court of the United States, who
responded to the toast, "The United States
a World Power." Justice Brewer's ad
dress was frequently punctuated with ap
plause. Among other things he said:

sclous that the United States of America
has become a more Important factor In
tho world's thought. Some fancy that the
Spanish War wrought the great change.
This is hardly so. It may have cleared the
air and brought us face to face with the
consciousness of the change, but silent
forces of commerce and religion have been
at work for years bringing about that re
sult. What Is Meant by the Term.
"Again and again it Is stated that the
United States has now become a world
power. So it has, but what Is meant
by the term, a world power, and how are
we to Justify our right to that title? Not
by a manifestation of military power or
naval strength. While wars will be as
wars have been, and while there Is within
the resources of our country an undls
played military and naval strength that
makes her, the most dangerous enemy on
land and sea, yet the -dawn of the twen
tieth century unveils a greater natural
glory than can be won on any field of
strife. While the events of the last
two or three years have compelled" an
Increase In our military and naval force;
while the amount of money which is
called for by the Secretaries of War and
Navy seem to be too large, and while the
roll of the dram and the blare of the
bugle are more often heard, yet the sons
of the Pilgrims will never turn our coun
try over to the man on horseback, or will
our dearest laurels be crimsoned by the
blood of the dying soldier.
"We shall deserve to be called a world
power because our relations with all na
tions will be carried on upon the high
est principles of truth and justice We
stand in the council of nations strong
enough to fear no attempt to wrong us;
so strong that we cannot afford to wrong
any, even the weakest nations; strong
enough to be firmly Just to the most pow
erful of nations, and so strong that we
must be kindly just with the weakest.
We must be frank as well as honest.
Henceforth, diplomatic language must be
something to reveal, and not something
to conceal, thought and purposes. The
honesty we must show Is not tho honesty
of Shylock, measured only by that which
Is enumerated in tho bond, but that of
the Golden Rule, an honesty which com
pels us to see the other party to the
transaction."
The Justice, in noting some of the signs
and needs of the times, touched on clvll
servlce reform. In regard to this he said:
"Into all the avenues of our official life
Is entering civil-service reform. Promo
tion by merit has ceased to be the joke
of the politician, and Is coming to be the
controlling rule of all official life, not
merely in the Army and Navy, and we
have had of late some very positive as
surances In respect to them, but in all
the departments of official life. National,
state and municipal. Whatever may be
the present defects In the machinery em
ployed to secure the desired result, and
very likely the defects are many, it is one
of the bright assurances of the future that
the thought and purpose of the people
are turned in this direction, and they will
not be thwarted."
Minister Wu Responds to a Toast.
Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese Minister,
responded to the toast. "A Greeting From
the Orient." Minister Wu alluded briefly
to the open door of the Chinese Empire,
saying that foreigners are treated the
same as the natives; there was no high
tariff In China, such as other countries
had, because the other countries had ar
ranged the tariff for China. The oldest
nation in the East, he said, was grateful
to America for all she had ddne for Chi
na. America, he continued, would not
oppress, but would see that Justice Is
done to all. This country will, said Min
ister Wu, not only become a "world
power,"out "the world power," in com

SUBSISTENCE IN WAR TIME
CARE OF SOLDIEnS HAS AT
LENGTH BECQ3IE A SCIENCE.
Extract From the Annual Report of
Major-Gencral MacArthur of the
Army of the Philippines.
AH efforts to systematize the operations
of war have, to a great extent, been, de
feated by limitations arising from unde
termined conditions touching the develop
ment of abstract theories, and touching
the evolution of material things employed
by troops In campaign. For example, or
ganization and tactics have Induced end
less discussion, and may still be regard
ed as In a transitory state: the balllstlcal
Qualities of firearms have been advancing
progressively for several hundred years,
but notwithstanding great improvement
has been made there is considerable scope
for Inventive Ingenuity. Equipage of all
kinds, guns, gun carriages and even har
ness are all subject to challenge. In these
particulars much discussion has taken
place and an enormous speculative liter
ature has accumulated, In many Instances
apparently attaching to unimportant mln
utlac. That every issue, however, no
matter how trivial it may seem in itself,
Is of serious Import to naUons is abund
antly demonstrated by the fact that the
development and application of a new
principle or invention involving o'nly a
few differences in tactics or small lm- j
provements In weapons, before an adver
sary has come to understand or appreci
ate the Importance thereof, has frequent
ly led to decisive results In war.
The foregoing premises have been in
troduced for the purpose of emphasizing
by means of strong antithesis, and there
by attracting especial attention to the
one factor in war which is by far the
most important and which is also Immut
able. That is to say, the capacity of a
man has always been. Is, and always will
be an Invariable quantity. His strength
may be assumed to be uniform and con
stant, and accordingly everything apper
taining to the care of his body through
which medium his military energy is con
served and expressed, may be made a
matter of calculation, with results en
tirely certain and positive.
Mankind, under the most favorable con
ditions, is hedged in on all sides by sick
ness and physical suffering. Soldiers In
campaign, more than others, are exposed
to hardships and dangers, the exceptional
consequences of which can only be miti
gated by solicitous attention to every
thing in regard to clothing, nourishing and
doctoring their bodies. Purely as an eco
nomical proposition, it pays to keep sol
diers In good health and strength, regard
less of the Immediate cost. The conclu
sion Is therefore reached that in war
every resource of administration should
be invoked to devise new and ingenious
methods of spending money, so long as
money alone Is required to keep the sol
dier In good health, which means to keep
him contented and efficient. It is not In
tended to advocate wastefulness or wan
ton extravagance, but simply to generalize
to the effect that money spent to the
limit of useful effect. In behalf of the
health of the soldiers in the field, is in
tho long run practical economy.
In respect of the particulars above re
ferred to, the service of supply In this
Army has been more than satisfactory.
The clothing furnished has been abund
ant, and well adapted to the climate and
the nature of the service. Several articles
of issue. In quality and fit, are not pre
cisely what is desired, but as this branch
of the subject touches appearance and not
hygiene, it does not fall within the limits
of the present discussion.
The service of subsistence has reached
almost the limit of possibility. All neces
sary articles, practically regardless of
cost, have been furnished in abundant
quantities. Questions have arisen as to
the components of the field ration, but as
this Involves simply questions of discre
tion and judgment, and not of money. It
Is excluded from consideration In thlsl
place. The distribution of rations has at
times been Impeded, and for brief periods
certain commands have had scant sup
plies, but these conditions arose entirely
from exigencies of military operations, and
not from inadequate supplies.
In alluding to the difficulties attending
the alimentation of troops In campaign,
a distinguished commentator recently re
marked: "Feeding large armies during
active operations In tho field may be
looked upon as a problem as yet In the
main unsolved, and as one. Indeed, that
will always remain so." This Is but par
tially true, and applies forcibly only when
armies are trained to live on the country;
when there is a scarcity of money; or
when tho money is available, but Is re
luctantly disbursed. The latter policy
predicated upon the Idea that money Is
more Important than, men can never be
considered seriously as a useful principle
of either ethics or economy.
As a matter of fact, the United States,
by a wise combination of intelligent ad
ministration and generous use of money,
has solved the problem of alimenting an
army in tho field, under any and all con
ditions that can possibly arise In war.
Within 40 yeans this system has been suc
cessfully applied to commands- of all kinds,
from small detachments foraying against
Indians, to large armies conducting reg
ular operations, over great distances, and
for long periods of time.
All things considered, the medical serv
ice during the'year has not only been sat
isfactory, but has been exceptionally
creditable to the entire service. The gen
erous supplies furnished by the War De
partment have made it possible to main
MissHWriri irfiiartiMirrii f i ill i li I ii I - i 1
tain health conditions, probably never
before attained in the tropics. Attention
Is especially invited to the report of the
chief surgpon appended hereto. There Is
nothing more certain In military adminis
tration than the general proposition that
the efficiency of an army In the Held will
be in direct proportion to the generosity of
the medical administration.
As in the Quartermaster's Department,
many articles of issue in the medical de
partment might be of better quality, but
the general service during the year has
been so admirable, both in Washington,
and Manila, that It seems inappropriate to
Introduce any discordant strain, of hyper
critclsm. A FARM FOR CHILDREN.
Unique Scheme of n. Philanthropist
From St. Louis.
A movement Is on fiot In this city to
Btart an Industrial farm for children. The
matter has been taken up by C. H. Eng
lish, who was the superintendent of the
Children's Industrial Farm Association, of
St. Louis. There dependent children were
placed on a farm and taught the different
branches of horticulture and agriculture.
The farm has been running for three years
and has been successful In every way The
children were taught a useful occupation
and the products they raised realized
enough to make it a self -supporting Insti
tution. Mr. English wants to raise enough,
money here to fit up a farm of from
25 to 30 acres and have the children placed
upon it. Instead of having them on the
streets, growing up in Ignorance and vice.
He has talked wifli a number of promi
nent citizens, and they have all expressed
themselves as pleased with the Idea, and
think that the city needs such an Insti
tution. Mr. English Intends to circulate
a petition among the citizens In order to
raise the necessary funds. The substance!"
of the petition Is:
1. The citizens subscribing to form
themselves Into a corporation for the care
and maintenance of dependent children.
2. They can make no mistake In caring
for the children.
3. To purchase a farm where all may
find something to do In order that the
Home may be made self-supporting as far
as possible by raising fruits, vegetables,
flowers, etc.
4. To maintain day and Sunday schools
and have the special talent of each child
developed.
5. To be undenominational In religion
and to ask the co-operation of all Chris
tian people and Implore aid from the state.
6. To work In harmony with the other
charitable institutions of the city and
take the overflow of children that they
cannot place.
7. One hundred dollars spent In this
manner would bo better than J1000 spent
in foreign fields.

Along the Mlent, sleepy street
The houses, gray and old.
Bloom Into castles, ruby-peaked.
Their windows pancd with gold;
And rose-lights flicker where but now
Were shadows, deep and cold.
The shafts of ashen smoke that swept
From chimneys, tall and grim.
Now wind, In colls of violet
And purple, soft and dim.
Then roll away In broken wheels
With amber spoke and rlm.
The eun's red wand has made a court
Of every barn and byre.
And with a single flashing gem
Has tipped the village spire.
And turned the snowballs on tho lawn
To balls of carmine fire.

Poison M,
Some & ngr3SSSSs
That dizzy feeling, sluggish brain and throbbing head
ache are all direct results from the use of coffee.
"Coffee works like a poison to me.
It acts on my brain and nerves In a
peculiarly disagreeable way.
"Being forced to give up coffee, I
did it in a half-hearted way, drinking
cocoa In the morning, but soon became
tired of that and longed for the real
Java.
"Finally I tried Postum Food Coffee,
and since that time have drunk It to
the exclusion of every other beverage.
Tou can imagine I like It. '
"Last Summer I was in a place whero
nothing but Java coffee was served on
the breakfast table, and I recommenced
the use of It.

gan to suffer from dizziness and ex
plosive noises In my head.
"One evening after walking about half
a mile I became dizzy and could hardly
get back home, where I fell, exhausted,
on the bed. I knew what the trouble
was, and thereafter insisted upon having
Postum instead of the old-fashioned
coffee, and I got well In short order.
"I have always thought It worth while
to warn the cook, wherever I happen,
to be, to make tho Postum properly,
that is, by boiling it long enough. Please
do not print my name."
This person lives In Pasadena, Cal.,
and th3 name will be given on applica
tion to the Postum Co.. at Battle Creek,
Mich.
