Originally LUted for Portland Load ing" -Grryder Castle Encoantercd Usual Delays 1b Straits. The German ship "Wllkommen, -which put into San Francisco a few days ago while en route to Portland, Is reported chartered to load at the Bay City at 23s. 9d., and other ships are offering at the same figure. This rate makes the 26 shillings paid the Inchcape Rock seem quite large, but when the statistical posi tion of ships in the two ports Is taken 3nto consideration, it does not seem out of the way. There Is nearly 40,000 tons of disengaged grain shipping In San Francisco, with considerable more near at hand, while at Portland there are but three disengaged ships, and but three others near at hand. While an occa sional vessel taken up for lumber, and considerable wheat yet to come out. It will be more difficult to get freights under 25 shillings than it has been to get under that figure in San Francisco. "Whoever Is responsible for the Inchcape 3lock's sailing up" from San Diego in stead of towing' up made a very costly mistake. The vessel could have been towed up for about $1500, and would jhave reached Portland in plenty of tlmo to save her charter. As It was she had "but two weeks In which to make th.e trip, and w hllc the voyage has been made In less than ten days. It usually re quires over three weeks. The Inch cape Rock was over six weeks in making the voyage, and rates continued tp drop all the time since she left the Cali fornia port. He original rate was -JO shillings and ar she carries 2350 long tons of cargo, the loss by being obliged to accept a 26-shiIlIng rate has been 57900. If the vessel is ever caught In a similar predicament, she will un doubtedly take a tow, even at double rates. TWENTY-TWO DAYS' DELAY. Gwyder Castle Had the Usual Dim culty in Entering the Straits. The British bark Gwyder Castle Is the lastest, victim of the gales which have been playing havoc with shipping off Cape Flattery- She fared slightly better than the British ship Bann. which has Just arrived an Puget Sound after 32 clays off Cape Flattery. The Victoria Col. onlst tells her hard-luck story in the fol lowing language: "The bark Gwjdcr Castle, long over due from Panama, arrived In the Royal Roads yesterday morning for orders, after having several narrow escapes from go ing ashore on the we3t coast of Van couver Island, and at one time on Scott Island, at the extreme point of the archi pelago at the north of Vancouver Island, where the bark had been driven by the heavy gales, encountered since she arrived off Barkley Sound, over three weeks ago. The bark, which is m ballast. Is 107 days from Panama for orders, and after run ning before heavy southwest gales arrived off Barkley Sound 22 days ago, but could not get Into the Straits until the heavy southwest blow of Sunday night. She had a trying time when off the Vancouver Island coast, and once was so far over on her starboard beam that the seas swept in over the starboard rail. The list to the bark was- given by the ehlft ing of her ballast during the heavy south east gale of February 17, and It seemed as though the bark would so over on her beam ends. If she did not turn turtle. She was righted, however, after the storm, and although the swell swept the seas inboard and flooded the cabins and the decks, she weathered the gales- and was by dint of good seamanship alone kept from being driven ashore on the Van couver Island coast. Off Nootka she had a close call from being driven on the rocks, and again when the storm drove her further north to the Scott archipel ago she was brought around within a short distance from that rocky coast. During the heavy gale the bark lost one of her crew, David Simpson, a Dane, who was found dead on deck. He was lying on his face on the ship's deck with blood Issuing from his nose. This was three weeks ago. He was burled at sea." XEW PACIFIC CABLE. Steamer Just Launched for Lajinj? a Line From Victoria- to Australia. The steamer which is to lay the cable from Vancouver Island to Australia, by way of Fanning Island, was launched on the Tyne. February 15, and was christened the Colonla, The Colonla, which will carry about 2000 nautical miles of cable in four largo tanks built in her holds. Is the largest cable ship afloat, being about 500 feet in length, 50 feet in breadth and S3 feet In depth. When completed she will carry 10.000 tons dead weight at a speed of 11 knots. She has an overhanging bow and elliptical stern, both of which will be fitted with the necessary cable gear, and four pole masts with fore-and-aft rig. The propelling machinery Is being con structed by Messrs. Wigham, Richardson & Co., and consists of two sets of triple expansion engines working at a pressure of 190 pounds per square Inch. As the ves sel will have to work in all climates, par ticular attention Is being paid to the ven tilation, which is very thorough. The heating is by steam and the lighting by electricity. When completed the Colonla will take in a full supply of cable at the Telegraph Construction & Maintenance Company's works, at Greenwich, and proceed to the Pacific to lay the cable from Bamficld Creek on Vancouver Island, and not far from Victoria, to Fanning Island in mid-Pacific, whence It is to be continued to New Zealand. The project in hand is to complete the circle round the world of British-owned cables, laid between points all of which ere on British territory. A complete in stallation of cables such as this is pos sessed by -no other nation. KEEPING CLOSE COMPANY. Earl Cadogan nml Inchcape Rock Both Go to South Africa. The British bark Earl Cadogan shifted down to the flour mills yesterdmy to load a cargo of flour for South Africa. This vessel and the Inchcape Rock seem to be keeping pretty close together, or at least in the same trade. Both vessels sailed from Antwerp for Portland with general cargo, coming by way of Port Los Angeles. They discharged at the California port at about the same time, and left for Portland within 24 hours of each other. Both were so long on the way that they lost high-priced charters, but the Earl Cadogan reached the river several days ahead of the Inchcape Rock. The Earl Cadogan for this reason -will probably get away for South Africa first, but may be overhauled on the voyage by the "Rock.,lwhlch is to take a wheat cargo. The pair have had so much hard -uck In company for the past few months that it would be too bad to separate them now. CONDITION OF SAN JOSE. Pilot-Boat Can Only Be Oat Durlnjc Good Wenther. ASTORIA, March 12. The repairs be ing made to the state pilot schooner San Jose under the direction of Pilot Com 1 mlssloner E. W. Tallant have developed the fact that the vessel Is not in a con dition to be of service off the mouth of the river, except during the pleasant weather of the Summer months. The end of the bowsprit was found to be rotten and had to be cut off, and the main mast head watt in n similar ftnmiitinn The Board of Pilot Commissioners, la J Its report to the Legislature, will recom mend that the San Jose be sold and a new pilot schooner built "WItk a.

WIDEN UNION AVENUE PEOPLE OF NORTHEAST DISTRICT EAGER FOR IMPROVEMENT. Petition Is Rcposlnar in City Hall PiffeoH-Hele, and Citizens Want It Acted Upon. The people of the northeast district. In cluding Piedmont and "Woodiawn, are very desirous that immediate steps should be taken for the widening of Union avenue to SO feet, between Alberta street, at High land and Dekum. avenue, at "Wofodlawn, ac cording to the petition that was presented to the City Council several months ago by a committee from the Eleventh Ward Board of Trade. It was ascertained yes terday that the petition is reposing in a pigeon-hole In the City Hall, where it was placed by the street committee, to whom it had been referred by the City Council, PIONEER FISH ALFRED DOOTII, OF CHICAGO, WHO HAD LARGE WESTERN INTERESTS Alfred Booth, the pioneer oyster and fish merchant of Chicago and the West, who died last Thursday, at the advanced age of 74, was prtsldent of the A. Booth Packing Company and one of the most prominent oyster and fl;h merchants in the country. From a small beginning he built up an enormous and highly profltable business. Mr. Booth early developed a marked talent for the business In which he had launched, and his advance kept pace with the growth of the Western country. In 1880 he had branch houses at all points of the Wet. v Some idea of the business which Mr. Booth established and developed may bo gained from the fact that there are collecting and packing-houses in California and Oregon, where shrimp and salmon and other sea food are gathered and packed In enormous quantities annually. FUh-coIlectIng houses hac been established In Escanaba and Manlstlquc, and at many other points on the Great Lakes. One of the canneries which he founded Is at Astoria. , for the reason all action on new street improvements was held up on account of the Bellinger decision, until the Supreme Cqurt decision should have been rendered. City Engineer Chase said yesterday that the Union avenue widening has not reached his department, and that no sur vey of the proposed new street lines have yet been made. He further said that all street improvements, old and new, would have to take their regular course, and could not be hurried. Owing to the great rush for street Tvork at this time, he said, much of it must necessarily move slowly, but that his department would certainly push improvements as energetically as the facilities of his office and the force at his command permits. One reason that action on the widening is desired at this time is that property along Union avenue is changing hands, and buildings are being erected according to the present street lines, all of which will complicate the measures for widen ing. Secretary J. B. Easter, of the local Board of Trade, fcays that the petition for the widening was generally signed, only a few unknown and absent property-owners names not being obtained, and no op position has developed. It was stipulated In the petition that the only expense that should be incurred In the widening should be for the molng of buildings and fences, of which thero were then but few of cither. The two story building on the corner of Union and Ainsworth avenues Is the only large one that will have to bo set back over 10 feet. A. H. Buxton, the owner, will not oppose the widening, and has purchased a lot on the cast side of his building. ?o as to have enough room. For tho moving of this and a few other dwellings nnd fences, under the terms of the petition, the expenses are provided for. This stipulation was made for the reason that a strip for the widening of Union avenue had already been donated for over one-half of the dis tance on one side, and It was considered unjust that these property-owners should be asked to pay for the additional land required. The committee of the local board has been censured, through ignorance, because the matter has not moved faster, whereas this committee has done its part fully. Ine improement of Union avenue will follow the widening, and for this reason the peo ple are now anxious that the petition should be taken out of the pigeon-hole in which It now reposes, and the improve ment started on its regular course. TIBCUTTERS 3IAY C03IDINE. Say That They Can Make Nothing Selling Tics at 22Gent Apiece. The makers of railway ties from East- em Multnomah County and elsewhere have been in consultation for the past few days over a proposition to ask for an in crease In tho price of tics. At present the railroad companies pay 2 cents per tie, but the tiecutters say that they can make nothing out of the business at that price, and ask for 28 cents per tie. The meetings of the sawmill men who make a business of making tics have been held with closed doors, and the proceedings are not known In detail, but the purpose of the gatherings has leaked out. The ob ject is to raise the price so the mlllmen can make something out of the business'. It is feet forth that the timber is being cut off and made Into railroad tics at a price that haroly pays the wages and expenses of doing so. Falrview and Troutdale are shipping points for railroad ties for the numerous small mills in Eastern Multnomah County. Troutdale handles the most tics, which are hauled in wagons from the Interior from six to ten miles. Some time ago tho rail road company cut the price to 22 cents, and for a few weeks the mills declined to de liver ties at that price, but gradually the owners of these mills began delivering ties at 22 cents, and are doing so at present. It is said that many of the owners of these small mills were in debt and feared that If they did not continue to deliver ties they would go to the TivalL A good many ties are received at Alblna from down the river on barges, and also from elsewhere, and representatives from all these tlecutting centers have been sent to this convention, and several long secret sessions have been held the past week. It is supposed that a combination of some sort Is being formed, and win be the out come of the gathering, as was suggested several months ago by an Eastern Mult nomah County mlliman as the only way to "fir the price of tie at a living rate." There is an enormous consumption of rail road ties, and those manufactured in Mult nomah County are shipped sometimes as far East as the Missouri River. It was reported yesterday that the tie cutters of Powell Valley had received an advance of 1 cent on each tie, making the price 23 cents. NEW SALMON RIVER HATCHERY. Work of BaJldlagr the Plant Will Be Started Early This Spring-. R. W. Parker, who owns the old Mcln tyre place, on Salmon River, who came in a few days ago, says that the new salmon hatchery on Salmon River will certainly be built this year. The location of the new hatchery Is only 100 yards from Mr. PACKER DEAD. Parker's farm. "Work on the -new hatch ery will be started at once, and It will be completed by next August. The new location Is lower down the stream, and is a great Improvement., The superintendent has been putting In some new racks, both at the new and old loca tions, to catch salmon, and the old hatch ery will be used until the new one Is finished. SHOE FACTORY FOR SELLWOOD. President Donangh Reports a Suit able Building Has Been Leased. D. M. Donaugh, of the Sellwood Board of Trade, reported yesterday that arrange ments had been completed for the housing of the shoe factory. Part of the Myer building, on the Mllwaukle road and Uma tilla avenue, has been leased for the pres ent. The factory will probably occupy It by th'e first of the month. Electric power will be used, which will be supplied from the Portland woolen mill, -ibout 20 men will be employed by the shoe factory. One object the factory has in moving to Sellwood Is to secure low rents and be near the Sellwood tannery. Church Contract to Be Let. Plans and specifications for the new Mlzpah Presbyterian Church, which will be built on Powell and Mary streets, were received yesterday by the building commit tee. They aro in the hands of Chairman J. E. Martin. The Intention is to let the contract by the first of April, so the -work on the ibulldlng may be started early in May. By an arrangement with the'bwn ers of the Tlbbetts tract, the trustees se cured a change In the building site so that the church may face Powell street. The old building will be moved oft the ground at once. It Is expected that Frank Blanck will take the old building and make a public hall out of It. The church will cost IC-000. East Side Notes. Rev. S. E. Memlnger, pastor of the Mount Tabor Methodist Church, has start ed for Philadelphia. He will be absent a month. J. McGrath, of Woodiawn, living on East Ninth and Riggen streets, Woodiawn, who suffered a stroke of paralysis Sunday, was reported slightly better yesterday. He was found In an Insensible condition. Dr. Harry Lane has been confined to his home, on Holgate nnd East Twenty-eighth street, for some time with a dangerous attack of erysipelas. Yesterday he was reported Improving. Arrangements have been made by which the Brooklyn Boird of Trade will meet with the Clinton Kelly Board In the W. C. T. U. Hall, East Twenty-seventh and Powell streets, until a meeting place can be secured. The Coroner Investigated the death of the infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Burback, 75 Union avenue, yesterday, and is of the opinion that death resulted from lack of vitality. The Infant was born Tuesday night, and died yesterday morn ing. Object to Discharge in Bankruptcy. FERGUS FALLS, Wis., March 12. A bill of specifications for the objections to the granting of a discharge In bank ruptcy In the N. P. Clark case was filed In the Federal Court here today. It Is alleged that Clark Is the real owner of a half Interest In lands which are scat tered all over the Northern part of tho state, and thit he has given deeds to these lands to his sister, Clara C. Mc Clure, who, It Is said. Is holding them In trust for him. The lands are said to be worth about $700,000. They also chargs him with making false oaths In regard to his liabilities. General Stanley Seriously 111. WASHINGTON, March 12. Brigadier General David S. Stanley, U. S. A, re tired, who rendered gallant and distin guished services In tho Wer of tho Re bellion, Is lying very dangerously ill at his home In this city. His ailment Is chronic Brlght's disease. ASK FOR CITY FRANCHISE HILLSBORO DELEGATION APPEARS BEFORE COMMON COUNCIL. They Urge Granting Privilege of Passing Through City to Elec tric Motor Line. By appointment a delegation from the Board of Trade of Hlllsboro appeared at the meeting of the Common Council yes terday to have a conference with the Mayor and members. The delegation Is working for the granting of a franchise for an electric motor line from Hlllsboro through the city, from the head of Twenty-fourth street to Front street. Those In attendance were Dr. J. R. Tamlesle, John Shute, J. A. Imbrle, F. M. Heldel and W. V. Wliey, each of whom brlefly addressed tho Council. Dr. Tamlesle stated that the confer ence had been asked for on ncc6unt of the franchise desired having been asked Nfor and refused. He was in a position to state that another application for the franchise would be made soon. He un derstood that the objection to the grant ing of tha franchise arose from the Idea that heavy freight was to be carried over the line. This was a mistake, as it was- not Intended that the road should carry anything but light freight, such as dairy products. The object of the road was to open up the eastern part of Wash ington County, and it would be extended as far as it could be made to pay. No company would build the road unless it could get a right of way through the city to Front street- Rights of way for tho road had been secured from the head of Twenty-fourth street up to Cedar Mills, and it was ths intention that the road should be in operation by Septem- ber, 1903. He thought the road would be a benefit both to the city and Washington County. Mr. Shute said Hlllsboro needed more facilities for the transportation of freight and passengers to Portland. They had been refused a franchise through the city, but he did not understand on Just what grounds. He thought such a road would bo a good thing for the city, as well as for tho county, and he hoped the Council would do the best It could to help secure such a road. Mr. Imbrle said a road such as It was proposed to build would be a great bene fit to the people of Washington County, and would bo of greater value to Port land than any other suburban road. He thought there would be. no difficulty in se curing the right of way for the line to Hlllsboro, and the people of that town would like very much to nave the desired franchise granted. Mr. Heldel said the people of Wash ington County were very desirous of get ting Into closer connection with Portland. Tho people of Washington County were as a unit willing to do all they can to carry out the scheme. They wanted the road, and he hoped the franchise would not be refused. Ex-Senator Haines, of Forest Grove, spoke briefly In favor of the road, saying ha was much Interested in the scheme, and thought it would be beneficial to all con cerned. Bronaugh explained that the franchise asked for had been refused because the property-owners on the streets through which it was asked had protected against It. He was aware that Washington Coun ty had a great future bafore It, and If a street could be found where a fran chise would not be objected to, he thought tho Council would be In favor of grant ing It. Mr. Branch said-that It had been pro posed to grant a franchise on Everett street, then on Marshall, and then on Northrup, but In each case strons re monstrances w-ero presented. Some one must And a street which can be used without arousing objections. He sug gested that arrangements might be made with one of the companies now operat ing street railways in this city to pass through the city on their tracks. Per sonally, he had a great Interest In the road and would like to seo the scheme carried out. Th Tamlesle said If they had to And a street where there would be no objec tions before getting a line, they would never get one. Mr. Imbrle thought the Council should hold the Interests of the city paramount to the wishes of the people on any street. Finally the Mayor suggested that the promoters of the road come In and meet with the street committee, and perhaps they could arrive at some arrangement that would be satisfactory.
