ATTORNEY CHAMBERLAIN.
Transmits Letters of German and
French Ambassadors Regarding:
Port of Portland Practices.
SALEM, Jan. 1. The correspondence be
tween the executive office here and the
Department of State, Washington, D. C,
concerning the troubles encountered by
shippers at the port of Portland, was
given out today. That part of the corre
spondence embodying the complaints of
France and Germany, together with a
letter of transmlssal, was forwarded to
District Attorney George E. Chamberlain.
In his communication, the Governor urges
the District Attorney and other law offi
cers of Multnomah County to exert them
selves In the interest of Northwest c6m
merce and to the end that the good faith
of Oregon In carrying out the terms of
treaties between those countries and the
"United States may not be questioned. Tho
letter to District Attorney Chamberlain,
with enclosures, follows:
State of Oregon, Executive Department, Sa
lem. Jan. 1, 11K2. Hon. George E. Chamber
lain. Portland, Or. Sir: I beg to acknowledge
receipt of your letter referring to the com
plaint of the German Government against al
leged treaty violations at the port of Portland,
and thank you for the willingness expressed
to do whatever you can to remedy the evils
complained of. and which you say exist. Your
letter In reply to the complaint of the French
Government also to hand.
I note that the plan of procedure outlined In
your letter, and which It Is stated you mean
to follow out. will, you anticipate, result in
no relief, and leave shippers to complain Just
as grievously against the local authorities In
the future as they have In the past, and I
deem it advisable at this time to transmit,
and do herewith enclose for your Information
and guidance, the correspondence between the
Department of State, at Washington. D. C,
and this office, a copy of the translation of a
letter from the French Ambassador directed to
the Honorable Secretary of State, and a copy
of a translated letter from the Imperial Ger
man Embassy, transmitting to the Department
of State a statement of alleged abuses, by
German shipowners.
I am not cufflclently familiar with the prac
tices complained of at Portland, .nor am I
disposed to offer suggestions to the law officers
as to how they shall proceed to remedy tho
evil. Inasmuch, however, as practices detri
mental, not only to the port, but to the state
and the entire Columbia River basin, have
been rormlttcd to grow up at Portland, and
complaint has been made through the govern
mental channel on the part of foreign shippers.
I do respectfully request that tho officers of
your district give earnest attention to the
troubles complained of and co-operate with the
Consuls stationed in your city in bringing to
Justice those engaged In menacing shippers and
crippling the commerce of the state. I have
called the attention of other officers of your
county and district to the complaints filed
against tho port of Portland, furnishing each
with a copy of those portions of the French
snd German treaties bearing, upon the duties
of local offii.ers, and also a copy of a state
ment of the alleged port charges against the
Robert Rlckmers and the Mabel Rlckmers.
which may serve to show some of the ways
by which shippers are annoyed and to suggest
remedial steps.
Trusting that, with the co-operation of the
other officers of your district, no Just ground
of complaint may be made against the local
officers. I have the honor to be, sir, your
obedient servant. T. T. GEER, Governor.
Following is the letter which was re
ceived by Secretary of State Hay from
the French Ambassador at Washington,
and which he transmitted to Governor
Geer:
(Translation.)
i Embassy of the French Republic to the
United States, Washington, Nov. 24, 1901. Mr.
Secretary of State: I had the honor on the
7th of November last, to draw your attention,
"in connection with a lawsuit brought at San
Francisco against one of the clerks of Jhe Con
sulate of France, to the laches shown by some
of the Judicial authorities of that city In the
observance of the prescriptions of articles II
and III of the Franco-American Consular Con
vention of February 23, 1853. I added that. In
other respects it seemed that the provisions
of that convention were not observed- at San
Francisco and on the Pacific Coast as It would
be desirable that they should be.
I take the liberty, while on this subject, to
draw the attention of the Department of State
to the .difficulties encountered by the Consul
Gcneral of France at San Francisco and the
Consular Agents under him In securing the co
operation of the local police In cases provided
tor In articles VIII and IX of the said Con
sular convention.
French Bhlpplng, notably sailing vessels. Is
rather numerous in the ports of San Francisco,
Oakland and at various other parts of the Pa
cific Coast. Incidents unavoidably occur among
the crews of those vessels making It necessary
for the Consular officers to intervene, and, oc
casionally, to pass sentences for the execution
of which they are authorized under the conven
tion of 1S53 to request the assistance of the
local police. . T,he conditions are the same when
It is a question of searching, arresting, detain
ing and sending back to their ships or to
France such seamen as may desert.
Now the peculiarly grievous conditions of the
City of San Francisco, of which the Depart
ment of Siate Is certainly aware, would pre
cisely require that the local police be particu
larly unremitting In Its protection of crews and
foreigners: labor troubles are unfortunately
frequent, and strikers almost with Impunity
create disturbances; the local police seem to
give but too slight attention to keeping away
from the purlieus of the harbor a whole clans
of persons whoso only occupation seems to be
to Induce seamen to desert, and who are not
afraid surreptitiously to come on board foreign
merchant vessels In order to incite desertion.
The Consul-General of France has brought to
the Embassy's attention numerous instances
In which the police authorities, though regu
larly called upon to do so, have failed to ren
der him the required asslsance. Sometimes
they will detain In Jail a seaman sentenced by
the Consul beyond the term pronounced by the
latter, and Instead of bringing him back to the
ship as agreed, purely and simply set him at
liberty, thus facilitating desertion. Sometimes
they will, as they have done at Oakland, and
notably at Portland, answer the written and
regular requisition of the Consul with a state
. ment that they are not acquainted with the re
quirements ofthe Franco-American Consular
Convention. Again, they will decline to keep
over the wharves a sufficient watch to prevent
the entlcers from plying their stealthy trade, to
the detriment of foreign crews.
Many complaints emanating cither from the
Consul-General of France or from the masters
of French merchant vessels themselves have
thus been laid before the Embassy. I am sure,
Mr. Secretary of State, that I need not do more
than to bring this, condition of things to your
knowledge. In order to secure for tho Embassy
your kindly co-operation In remedying It. It
would be urgent. In the first place, that the
port and police authorities in ports on the Pa
cific Coast, and notably in San Francisco, be
made acquainted with the obligation laid upon
them by the Consular convention of 1S53, and
In the second place, as regards the authorities
which are acquainted with them. It would be
expedient that theybe instructed strictly to
comply therewith hereafter.
I should be Infinitely obliged to you If you
would put me in a position to inform, the Consul-General
of France at San Francisco that
efficient measures have been taken to that
effect, both by the Federal authorities and the
responsible local officials.
I am confident that the Department of State
will kindly assist the Embassy In maintaining
order and. good behavior among the crews of
the French merchant vessels that come to the
Pacific Coast, and take an active part in the
transportation by sea of United States produce.
Be pleased to accept, etc.
P. DE MARGERIE.

retary of State Hay from the German
Ambassador at "Washington, and which

Imperial German Embassy, Washington, Dec
B. IDOL Mr. Secretary of State: The Rlckmers
Roismuhlen Shlp-Ownfng & Building Stock
Company, of Bremerhaven, has. In a- state
ment which I append hereto with a request
that It be returned, addressed, under date of
October 2G of this year, to the Foreign Office
at Berlin, exposed the rapid Increase of de
sertions of ships' crews In California, and
asked that a remedy to this evil be sought by
means of representations through the diplo
matic channel.
The "Union of Hamburg Shipowners had also,
as far back as 1809. brought up the question
of the abuses occasioned by the practices of
shipping masters In Inciting seamen to desert
in various foreign ports, and especially at Port
land, Or., and asked whether support might
not be given to the efforts for the removal of
these abuses put forth by the Portland Cham
ber of Commerce, by means of representations
to the Government of the United States of
America, or of measures taken by the Imperial
Consul at Portland.
The Imperial Consul at Portland and the Im
perial -Consul-General at San Francisco have
not succeeded. In spite of their strenuous en
deavors, in bringing any improvement in tne
condition of things above metloned. By direc
tion of the Imperial Government, I now have
the honor to bring the foregoing to Your Ex
cellency's knowledge and to add thereto the re
quest that the Government of the United States
earnestly apply Itself to afford an effectual
remedy for the grievances of the German ship
owners. While awaiting Ypur Excellency's obliging

Translation of Inclosnres.
Bremerhaven. Oct. 2G, 190L To the High
Foreign Office, Berlin: Desertion of ship3'
crews In California By these presents, we take
the liberty of drawing the attention of the
High Foreign Office to the desertions of ships'
crews In California. These desertions unfortu
nately assumed for many long years a wholly
significant proportion,-and, what Is most to be
deplored, the attending circumstances are so
objectionable and unprecedented that we ad
dress with great respect to the High Foreign
Office the request whether It will kindly take
it Into consideration whether these serious con
ditions might not be somewhat Improved
through the diplomatic channel. The most
noticeable place In this respect Is Portland, Or.,
and in order to show what unheard-of condi
tions especially prevail there, and, in partic
ular, the expense to which ships are put there
by, we take the liberty to append in continua
tion of this letter a statement of the costs oc
casioned to two of our ships on account of
blood money, etc.. In consequence of deser
tions. It has' now become so bad that Sullivan, a
shipping-master, who controls the situation,
simply dictated how many substitutes should
be shipped, to take tho place of the deserters.
We are fully aware that the Imperial German
Consul has and for that we owe him thanks
exerted himself to the utmost to check the evil.
but without being able to Improve matters, and
that Is the very reason why we venture to
bring the question before the High Foreign
Office. We believe that the new President of
the United States is quite the right man to
take an intrst In the matter and to wipe out
the blot than has been put on California ports
by the toleration of the evil.
In our opinion, there Is scarcely a matter
which, by being energetically taken up, would
win for the Foreign Ofilce, for the shipping In
terests of Germany and In the whole world
generally, more thankful recognition than that
here presented, and we trust that we have not
applied to the High Foreign Office In vain.
Should the High Foreign Office desire further
particulars, we shall be In a position to supply
them forthwith, as would. Indeed, all German
or foreign ship-owners whose vessels have been
In Portland.
With high consideration and great respect.

Observations of a Salem Man on a
, Trip to the Middle West Re
Advertises Oregon.
SALEM, Jan. L A. T. Kelliher, a tim
ber land buyer, has just returned from a
three months' business trip to the lumber
ing sections of Michigan, Minnesota and
Wisconsin. In speaking today of his trip
he said that thousands of people in the
Middle West are planning to come to the
North Pacific States this year. The va
cant lands in the Middle States have all
been taken up. and land values have ad
vanced to such an extent that the people
are compelled to turn to the West for
homes. Many people who have farms In
the East are selling out to come here,
where a more congenial climate Is found.
Mr. Kelliher says he Is Informed by rail
road men that they are arranging for the
largtt Coast passenger traffic this year
that they have ever had. The mosfad-
HOW A SIPHON WORKS ACROSS A
YAKIMA VALLEY.
-x.
This picture Is. Interesting, as It Illustrates a new method of conducting water
Across a narrow valley. In order to carry the water over In the open canal or
flume, which Is seen on the left of the picture, It would be necessary to build a
high and expensive trestle, or else run the canal a Iqng distance to the head of
the valley and then down along the other side, keeping It at nearly the same
level. This would be expensive In either case, so another and comparatively
new method Is employed. A great wooden pipe Is built, sometimes five feet or
more In diameter, which, as the picture shows. Is run directly from the flume
down one side of the valley and, up the other, thus avoiding the long carry
around and the expensive trestle. The water rushes through this pipe under
great pressure, but, as the stout planks of redwood, of which It Is made, are
bound with stout steel bands. It Is securely held together, and will last for years
of service.
The particular pipe and flume shown In the picture are part of a canal sys
tem near the Yakima Valley, In Cntral Washington. In Its course the canal
reaches' Cowlche Canyon at a high point known as Pictured Rocks, a curiously
sculptured rock formation seen at the back of the view. Here It crosses the can
yon In a large wooden pipe, which again becomes an open flume when It reaches
the other side. The water which flows In the canal irrigates 3000 acres of land,
which are situated 10 miles away from the point where tho water Is first taken
from the river.
The picture also shows well the barren character of the country which Is not
Irrigated, and a small portion of the valley around the echoolhouse In the center,
which has Just been put under cultivation.
verse circumstances, he says, could not
now stay the tide of Immigration to Ore
gon this year, and with a continuance of
the favorable business conditions its popu
lation will receive large accessions from
tHe East for several years to come.
Mr. Kelliher has great faith In the fu
ture of the lumber Industry in Oregon.
Speaking further upon Oregon's future as
he sees it, he said:
"When the United States Congress
passes an act which assures the construc
tion of the Nicaragua Canal, the value of
Oregon products needed In the markets of
the world will be nearly doubled. I do
not say that the price will be doubled, but
the value to the people will be doubled.
This wl'.l be especially true of timber,
with which commodity I am most fa
miliar. "The vacant lands In this state, espe
cially in Eastern Oregon, are g)Ing rapid
ly, and yet there are vast areas left. Over
two years ago a man told me that the
state land In Eastern Oregon is not worth
the $1 25 per acre which the state charges
for It. I told him if It were possible to
dd so, I would be glad to buy every acre
the state owned In Eastern Oregon and
pay $1 25 per acre for It. Since then
thousands of acres of the best of the
lands have been sold, b'ut the fact remains
that even what Is left Is worth what the
state Is getting for It. Thre may be
many tracts that are not now worth 51 25
per acre, but there are other tracts worth
more than that. In the course of a few
years you will see that what I have said
Is true, and people will be wondering that
they did not foresee the value of that
cheap state land."
Mr. Kelliher believes in spreading In
formation regarding Oregon through the
Eastern States. He received many letters
of Inquiry, and as a means of answering
some of these he has procured 50 copies
of the New Year's Oregonian to send to
people In the East who are Interested In
Oregon and Its resources.
GO AT IT RIGHTLY.
Don't Forffct Montli of Columbia in
Improving the River.
Baker City Democrat.
"It seems to me that our "Representa
tives In Congress and even some of the
business men of the Inland Empire are
going at things wrong in regard to tho
improvement of the Columbia River,"
said one of the largest shippers of East
ern Oregon yesterday In a holiday dis
cussion of traffic and commerce as affect
ing the section.
"We all realize that Oregon and Wash
ington stand on the eve of a tremendous
increase in their commerce with the Orient
and Europe particularly in the line of
breadstuffs and lumber. This traffic Is
now being handled largely through the
port of Portland, and It 'Is absolutely
necessary, not only that that port be
maintained with a capacity for handling
the largest vessels, but that the avenues
of traffic be opened between Portland
and the Inland Empire in every direction
possible- From a careful study of the
situation it appears to me that the first
thing necessary to Increase our traffic fa
cilities is to deepen the channel for ocean
vessels at the mouth of the Columbia
River. Of what use will It be to. have
full and complete transportation facil
ities to the interior If ocean vessels can
not freely enter and depart from the port
of shipment. The Columbia is the nat
ural artery of our trade and the mouth
of the Columbia and Portland the nat
ural port of shipment. To talk now about
strenuous efforts to open the Middle Co
lumbia and Snake Rivers to steamer traf
fic Is foolish because these improvements,
while greatly needed, will be of no avail
If the outlet of the traffic Is barred. The
appropriations of Congress recently made
for rivers and harbors carry a- larger sum
for the Improvement of the Upper Colum
bia than for the Improvement of the chan
nel at the mouth of the river.
"Those who have watched the develop
ment of commerce In recent years know
that the tendency of the times Is toward
the reduction of the cost of transportation
both by sea and rail by the employment
of larger ships, larger engines and larger
cars. This necessitates deeper harbors for
ocean carriers and better roadways and
heavier rails on land. It Is true that
where we have in the interior parallel rail
and water transportation to tidewater we
have as a rule cheaper rates. But, in the
endeavor to get cheaper interior transpor
tation we should not lose sight of the
principal factor In our growing commerce,
and that is a deep harbor where ocean
and inland transportation meet
"1 would therefore suggest as a. com
mon sense business principle that we
should all combine in every possible man
ner so to Impress on our Representa
tives in Congress the 'importance of the
improvements at the mouth of the Co
lumbia River, as outlined by the engineers
and traffic men, that the greatest possible
amount of. money shall be spent there In
the next few years. Already we are
cramped by the conditions prevailing and
In another year at the present rate of
growth of trade our facilities for handling
the business will be inadequate. Later on
we can open the Middle Columbia by a
canal and locks between Celllo and The
Dalles, and can Improve the channel in
the Snake and Upper Columbia, Let us
first lay the foundation and then put up
the superstructure."

CHANCE MAKES THE MAN.
By GivinR Opportunity Example of
Governor Rosers.
Spokane Spokesman-Review.
The later career of Governor Rogers
demonstrated how the stronger qualities
of a man may be, brought out if he Is
fortunate enough to meet with the favor
able opportunity. The late Governor had
lived In Maine, Massachusetts, Missis
sippi, Illinois and Kansas before he came
to Washington. In none of these states
did he achieve what mirht be termed a
full measure of success. Until he went to
Kansas he had not remained in a com
munity long enough to Identify himself
with and become a force In It. While he
attained some prominence In the Sun
flower state, the general depression there
seems to have thwarted his advancement
as It did that of thousands of others, and
when he came to Washington It was prac
tically to begin anew.
With the political upheaval of 1SS5 and
the rise of the forces with which Mr.
Rogers had identified himself there came
the chance opportunity that Is supposed
to present itself at some period In every
I man's life. There was a call to a post
j of large powers and great responsibilities.
! Mr. Rogers wa6 then 5S years of age, and
j many believed that at that time of life
Ine iiau oecome so set in nis notions ana
so firmly attached to certain principles of
, reform in government that he would not
easily adapt himself to the position of
Chief Magistrate of a new and progressive
commonwealth.
The sequel was a surprise both to party
associates and political opponents. With
ejevatlon to power came a full and sin
cere appreciation of the responsibilities
of high place, and to every problem that
arose Governor Rogers tried to bring so
ber, careful. discriminating Judgment.
The theories of the reclu; gave way
"before the stern facts which confronted
a busy executive, and for five years there
was hardly an act of the Governor that
did not show the exercise of sound cau
tion, strong conservatism and good, hard
common sense. He was equal to the de
mands of the times and the place, and
showed that It was- only the occasion that
was needed, to display his strength of
.character and real capabilities.

els per acre, can be had for the filing of
I a homestead, but rather say that such
(lands can be bought for from $20 to $40
per acre. Then perhaps the fellow who
conies will bring along the difference be-

Driven Insane hy Poor Collection.
New York Evening World.
The congregation of the Protestant
Episcopal Church of the Holy Faith is
without a paator, the Rev. Victor C.
Smith being hopelessly Insane and a pa
tient in an asylum at Amltyville, L. L
Before being taken to the asylum, he
tendered his resignation, but the congre
gation for which he had labored for more
than 15 years would not accept It until all
hopes for his recovery had been aban
doned. Tho Rev. Mr. Smith first became ill
after the Easter holidays, last April. For
several months he had been agitating the
need of a new parish house. On Easter
Sunday he made an especially urgent ap
peal to the congregation to be liberal In
their contributions for this project.
The collection fell far behind his expec
tations and caused him much worry. He
was taken 111 as a result and became de
lirious. Despite constant care he grew
worse, and when he became violent It was
decided to have him removed to a sani
tarium at Watklns Glen, N. Y.t where he
remained for a month.
Returning, apparently cured, he resumed
his pulpit, but the strain of conducting
the first service proved too much and he
again collapsed. This time he was taken
to Amltyville, where It "is said that his
chances for recovery are slight.
