Carries Over 37,000 Barrels of Flour Three Grain Ships Will Finish Loading; Today Marine Jiotes. The Austrian steamship Maria, the third vessel to load at Portland for Si berian ports -within the past 60 days, "will complete her cargo this morning and clear this afternoon lor Vladivostok and- Port Arthur. The Maria has aboard 37,500 barrels of flour, and a lot of miscellaneous freight. She also takes a deckload of lumber. The flour shipment on board Is the largest that has been made from this part direct to Siberia this season, the other steamers sailing taking more lum ber and miscellaneous freight. The last to depart was the British ship Oceano, which took nearly 2,000,000 feet of lumber and a lot of doors, -windows, fruit, pro visions and miscellaneous freight. The Oceano also carried about 33,000 barrels of flour, which was brought around from Seattle, when she entered here, the greater part of it being for Port Arthur and Che Foo. The steamship Hatisu, which was the first of the direct steamers from Portland this peason. carried nearly 2,000,000 feet of lumber. 7500 barrels of flour, 6S2 pack ages of dredger machinery and several hundred packages of canned and fresh fruit, evaporated cream, provisions, gro ceries, etc. All three of these steamers were dispatched by the Pacific Export Xiumber Company, of this city, who were the pioneers in the Siberian trade out of this port. The next steamer to leave the Pacific Northwest for Siberia will be the Braemar, which is scheduled to sail from Puget Sound May 1. THREE APRIL SHIPS. Ernest LeGouve Fnlshed and Doven by Hall and Torrisdale Today. The French bark Ernest LeGouve finished loading yesterday, and will clear today, with 110.S25 bushels of wheat, val ued at $73,000. She was loaded by G. W. McNear, and has the distinction of going out under the lowest freight paid since the Spring of 1897, her rate being but 24s 6d. The British ship Dovenby Hall and the British bark Torrisdale will finish loading this afternoon, making four cargoes for the month to date. These cargoes are all- above the average, and will In the aggregate reach nearly 500,000 bushels of wheat. Not more than one or two more wheat cargoes will get away this month, 'and the business will be of small propor tions, compared with last April, when 13 ships were cleared. , The Dovenby Hall, which finishes today, ,has been a regular trader in this port for a number of years, and the cargo now aboard of her Is the fifth that she has taken out of Portland since 1895. She sailed in January. 1895, with 112,750" bush els of wheat, valued at $52,500, cleared by J. R. Cameron & Co. She made a fast outward run and loaded back for Portland, reaching here in time to load again and clear in November, being one of the few ships that have earried two wheat cargoes out of Portland for Europe In one calen dar year. Cameron loaded her on this second 1S95 trip with 112,800 bushels of wheat, valued at $56,600. Her next visit to Portland was in 1899, when she was loaded by Balfour, Guthrie & Co., with 113.662 bushels of wheat, valued at $88,000. She was next cleared by Epplnger & Co. in March, 1S00, with 112,742 bushels of wheat, valued at $60,SS0. Her present freight rate, 25 shillings, is the lowest paid or. any of the five trips. The Torrisdale, which will also finish today. Is no stranger in the port, as she loaded for the Pacific Coast Elevator Company in November, 1894, with 131.246 bushels of wheat, and again in October, 1897. with 133,285 bushels, BalfOur, Guthrie & Co. loading her when she was here in 1897. Burning; Ship Off the Const. SAN FRANCISCO. April S. The tug Relief sailed today in' search of the burn ing British ship Franklstan, for the pur pose of bringing the derelict Into port. The barkentlne George C. Perkins, ar riving today from Eureka, reported to the Merchants Exchange that at 6 o'clock on the morning of April 5, 105 miles west by south of Point Arena, a dismasted vessel was seen on the port bow. The Perkins stood over for the wreck and at 8:30 o'clock passed within 400 yards of the ves sel, which was on fire and whose name could not be made out, though there is no doubt that it was the Franklstan. Cap tain Jensen reports that the cargo was still burning, and the rigging and masts were all gone, except the bowsprit. All woodwork apparently had been burned out of the vessel. The hull was slightly down "by the head, and was about 16 or 18 feet out of the water. The derelict Is regarded as a serious menace to navigation. "Well Knoivn In Portland. The British ship Franklstan, which was ournea at sea a lew days ago, was a well-known vessel In this port, having taken several cargoes from here. She was dispatched by Balfour, Guthrie & Co. in September. 1895, with a cargo of sal mon and wheat, and the same firm cleared her from Portland again in August, 1SW, with a full cargo of wheat. The press dispatches giving the value of the ship and cargo at $200,000 were considerably overdrawn, as the ship was not worth to exceed $75,000. and her coal cargo could not have been worth to exceed $20,000. The Franklstan was a vessel of 1900 tons net register, and was built at Southampton In 1882. Her dimensions were: Length, 270 feet; beam, 39.5 feet; depth of hold, 24 feet. Sailors Scarce in San Francisco. Six vessels laden with freight for foreign ports are now lying at anchor in the stream, unable to sail because of the scarcity of sailors, says the San Fran cisco Examiner. The vessels are the ship Rohane, bark Bayard, ship TiUle Starbuck, Benlarig. Salvatoro Clampl and the Drummuir. The vessels have been unable to secure crews and will posslDly be compelled to remain In port for some time. Because Captain Scott, of the Rohane, attempted to secure nonunion sailors, the shipping masters have re fused to ship men on board his vessel unless he pays them a heavy bonus. The captain persists in holding out against their demands, and his ship is without a, crew. Albania's Stormy Passage.- SAN FRANCISCO, April 8. A dispatch from London today says that the Nor wegian ship Albania, from Oregon, has arrived at Antwerp, after a stormy pas sage. She reports having some of her trelght damaged by heavy seas. During & terrific blow, the Albania was compelled to jettison 10 tons of her cargo. Movements of the Celtic. LIVERPOOL, April 8. The White Star line steamer Celtic, which left New York February 1, with a party of tourists for a cruise to the Meriterranean and the Ori ent, arrived today. She will remain here three "days, sailing for New York April 12. Marine Notes. The German bark Professor Kock and the British bark Mount Stuart have been added to the list of new-crop ships. They were taken at 29 shillings. The Hamburg-American steamship Ba tavia arrived at New York last week with 2696 steerage passengers on board. Four of the passengers died on the voyage, but their death was not due to overcrowding. The German ship Christel, reported In yesterday's Oregonlaa as chartered to load at Antwerp for this port, was for merly the British skip Old Kensington, and under that name made many trips to Portland. The tug Samson was in port for a short time yesterday. She came up for a barge, which she will tow around to Gray's Har bor, where her owners ore Interested in a. Government contract. Captain Sam Randall Is now In command of the Sam son. The schooner S. Danlelson sailed from the SJuslaw for San Francisco last week after being barbound for over three months. There are five other lumber carriers still held there, but with an Im provement In the weather they will prob ably soon be released. Merchants' Exchange advices yesterday reported the Norwegian bark Albania at Antwerp with part of her cargo damaged. The dispatch stated that she had jetti soned 10 tons on the voyage, and part of that still on board was in a damaged con dition. The Albania was dispatched from Portland in November by A. Berg.

ARE They Inquire as to Sites and Condi tions, and Need Only a Lit tle Encouragement. The monthly meeting of the Manu facturers' Association was held last night, and the correspondence read by Secretary Mclsaac showed that there was an un precedented Inquiry for manufacturing sites in and about Portland. Some Inquiries came from Northwest cities and others from the East. John Vaupell, of Seattle, wanted to start a factory for the manufacture of a boiler compound. To this communication the secretary replied that electricity was so generally used that there was little ..-....aoi....1 4 demand for the compound, but the manu facturer might visit Portland and look over the situation. The Modem Warehouse Company, by Frank H; Browne, asked for definite In formation concerning the establishment of a plant for the manufacturing of a grain conveyor and portable elevator. The company Is the patentee of the elevator and conveyor. It wishes to enlist Port land capital In the enterprise. It sug gests that a company be Incorporated and capitalized at 5100.CO0, and It would subscribe one-half of the stock. The plan was considered very good by Secre tary Mclsaac and It was referred to him for further Investigation. Mr. Mclsaac may possibly make a trip to Colfax to examine the conveyor and elevator, or ask the patentees to bring it to Portland for examination. A. O. Nelson, of the Bell-Nelson Mill Company, of Everett, Wash., desired to build a modern sawmill In the city. He did not want to Invest a great deal of money, but he wished to get a site near the terminal grounds. -I. Preston Rice, manager of the Grand Rapids, Mich., Malleable Iron Company, asked It he could get a location for a malleable Iron plant, and whether. If he established a plant. It would prove a profit able Investment. Through the secretary, Mr. Rice was informed that there was no plant of the kind he named on the Coast, and If one were established it would be In a position to secure the trade of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, and Cali fornia. Tharp Brothers, manufacturers of a rotary weedcutter and cultivator, and a Mr. Yarnlsh, a manufacturer of barrels and firkins, of St. Paul, and Walter G. Tucker & Co., silversmiths, of Cincin nati, also wanted locations. The secretary said he had replied to all these letters. Lee Brown & Sons, of Stayton, asked what profit the manufacture of excelsior offered. They wero engaged In the lum ber business and they wished to know whether the addition of a plant would be a safe Investment. They were informed that there was only one excelslon factory In Portland, that there was a good field for the Industry, as cottonwood was scarce, and If they wished to engage In the business they should secure a supply of cottonwood in advance. D. J. Whitney, secretary and manager of the Clearfield Woodenware Company, of Clearfield, Pa., wrote that he Intended to start a factory In the Pacific North west. He would manufacture wooden ware, furnishing goods, hammocks, swings, etc. The secretary "was instruct ed to write him that Portland afforded a good location for the enterprise and a fair market for the 'product. . a" "' "" " 'T , S X"V,C" Z ,, - n.mn n. . a " , V- E.

More than 1200 persons bearing settlers' tickets have gone out on the Southern Pacific lines in Oregon this Spring, and the movement continues steady. General Pas senger Agent Millersays he Is certain more than 2000 new settlers will have been add ed to the "Willamette Valley by the end of this month, when the settlers' rates will be discontinued. This is a new experience for the Valley. It is the first time cheap transcontinental rates have been availa ble to put settlers into this section of the state, and the result is regarded as highly encouraging. All the trains from the East continue to bring settlers and homeseekers in large numbers, though most of them drop off before getting through to Portland. The population and wealth of the Columbia Valley will be greatly Increased by this Spring's movement. Locomotive for Columbia Southern. A new freight locomotive for the Co lumbia Southern Railroad is expected about the middle of the month. It has been shipped from the Baldwin works in Philadelphia. This Is tho fourth locomo tive for that road, and It Is a first-class, modern machine in all respects. Its weight on the drivers Is 146,000 pounds, and the entire machine in working order will weigh 163,000 pounds. The traffic of the Colum bia Southern is increasing so rapidly that all its rolling stock Is kept fully employed, and considerable expenditures for addi tions are required. A few days last week the movement of settlers to Columbia Southern territory was so great that an extra coach was needed to accommodate v them. N New Time Card on Billings Line. OMAHA, April 8.
