CARGO WAS IN FINE CONDITION North-west Grain Will Hereafter Be Used Regularly in Making? Flour for the Ger man Marlcet. BREMEN. April 15. The German sail ing ship Nesai arrived here today from Portlmd, Or., -with a full cargo., of Ore gon wheat. This is the first shipment of the kind. A local mill has installed machinery for the purpose of grinding the hard-grain product of the American Northwest, which -will hereafter be UEed regularly In making fiour for the Ger man market.

The cargo consists of 2,500,000 feet, and is bound for China. The vessel Is dispatched by Bal four, Guthrie & Co., and -was loaded by the Eastern Lumber Company. She will start down the river this morning. This is the largest lumber cargo that has left Portland this year. Other big cargoes have been those of the Hatisu, Oceano, Fulwood and Star of Germany. The Theo dor Wille la the 13th vessel to clear from Portland since December with lum ber for a foreign port. Eight of these vessels have sailed to the Orient, and their cargoes aggregate over 6,700,000 feet. The shipments to foreign ports this year amount to about 11,000,000 feet. Coastwise shipments from Portland amount to about 16.000,000 feet. The demand for American Pacific Coast lumber in the Orient is growing, in spite of the present adverse condition of tho market on the other side of the water. The Orient Is reported as well supplied, and dealers over there are disposed to hold off from new purchases until they are as sured that the higher prices on the Amer ican Pacific Coast are permanent. Prices hae been raised by the lumber combina tion on this Coast twice since December. Oriental dealers are waiting to see wheth er the combination will go to smash. As it seems to be solid, the expectation is that they will soon enter the market more freely. The Theodor Wille is also the 13th steamship to sail from Portland for for eign ports since January 1. The other ves sels have Deen the Knight Companion, Strathgyle. Argyll, Palatlnla, MaTgretha, Hatisu, Pembrokeshire, Thyra, Indravelll, Oceano, Adato, Indrapura and Maria. The start made by the first three and a half months of 1902 indicates that the record of 1901 in steamship commerce at this port will be surpassed this year. NOT BADLY DAMAGED. Bark Henriette Can Be Keeled Over for Repairs. ASTORIA, April 16. It Is now positively known that the French bark Henriette, -which sank In this harbor with a cargo of redwood some months ago, is not so ee Tlously injured as was at first supposed. After the vessel was pumped out and raised she was towed to Rainier, where the cargo was removed. The bark was then taken to Fisher's Landing, near Van couver. There a thorough examination of the hull was made. It showed that one plate had been torn away, well aft -on the port side, only a short distance below the water line. Another plate is slightly cracked. Daniel Kern, owner of the bark, says the vessel can be keeled over suffi ciently to put a new plate on. After that is done, he proposes to expend enough on her for repairs to entitle her to Amer. lean register. SCHOONER WRECKED. Kate and Annie Driven Ashore hy Gale. SANTA BARBARA. Cal., April 16. The schooner Restless, arriving from San Miguel Island today, brings report of the wreck of the sealing schooner Kate and Annie in Cuyler's harbor on the Island of San Miguel, April 9. The schooner had put into the harbor to escape a hard northwest gale. The anchor chain parted and the vessel waa driven on the beach. Captain Lutjers and the crew of six men reached shore in safety. The Kate and Annie filled with sand and was going to pieces when the Restless sailed yesterday. She was a 30-ton boat plying from San Fran cisco, and owned by Captain Lutjers. She was built at Yaquina, Or. Three New Charters. Three more- charters at 30 shillings for wheat loading are reported. They are for the French barks Nantes and Cambronne and the British bark Mad agascar.. All are for new crop loading. The Cambronne comes from Lelth, Scot land, with .a general cargo. The Nantes is a well-known ship here, having taken , a cargo to Europe last Autumn from this port. The upward tread of freights seems to oe connrmea by these charters and also by that of the Isle of Arran, which is engaged at the same figure. Meteor Collides With City of Pnebla. TACOMA, Wash., April 16. The steamer Meteor, from San Francisco, in making a landing at Tacoma last night, struck the steamer City of Puebla astern, smashing her three decks, injuring- the saloon deck and breaking the steering gear.

The ac cident was caused by the engineer misap prehending a signal to back engines, and Instead going ahead at strong speed. Salmon Fleet Delayed. The fleet of the Alaska Packers As sociation has been slow to sail from California. The delay has been due to difficulty in getting sailors and flsher- men. The three vessels which sailed from the Columbia River for Alaska, got away promptly. Fishermen were taken along to man the ship. They re ceive $50 for this service. Their average earnings in the North during the sea - son are about $300. Measurement of Ben Hur. ' ASTORIA, Or., April 16. The official measurement of the gasoline launch Ben Hur, built by R. M.

RUN OF FISH IS LIGHT. Lower Colombia Reports It About Thnt of Former Seasons. ASTORIA, Or., April 16. It can now be fairly stated that the opening run of fish is light, but about equal to that of pre vious seasons for the middle of April. Reports from up the river at its mouth and in Baker's Bay confirm this, as do the recelptB at the local canneries and cold storage plants. So far not much gear has been placed in the water, but sufficient to indicate the run of fish. Llht Rnn at St. Helens. ST. HELENS, Or.. April 16.

Freewater and .Milton have had another squabble, this time over a saloon. Freewater came out best Saturday night, shortly after 10 o'clock, John Vinson, City Marshal of Mil ton, entered the Freewater saloon of F. P. Miller and ordered him to close his house, threatening arrest if Miller refused to obey the order. The Freewater-Mllton line runs a few feet from the saloon, but no one questioned the fact that it was on Freewater soil until the Milton City Coun cil instructed its Marshal to close the sa loon. Miller closed his doors, re-openlng the next morning by advice of the Free water officials. The Freewater Marshal was instructed to arrest any one found Interfering with Miller in conducting his business. Monday morning the City of Freewater employed a surveyor, who lo cated the saloon several feet inside Free water's boundaries. The work of the sur veyor was closely watched by several of the leading citizens of both towns. Mr. Miller has employed two lawyers, and will sue the City of Milton for the unlawful action of its Marshal. STREETS LIKELY TO BE LIGHTED. Baker City Finds It Can Stand Ex pense Without Going in Debt. BAKER CITY, April 16. The commit tee from the Chamber of Commerce In charge of municipal affairs, at the meet ing of the City Council last night, urged the necessity of providing the city with a system of electric street lights.

The street committee was au thorized to proceed to find out what the cost of lighting the streets would bo. It Is the general opinion that the streets will be lighted inside of 60 days. Mayor Carter reported that Engineer Wiley, who has the contract for making the survey for a sewer system, was making good progress and that the plans and estimates would be ready In the course of the next three months.

( cold ears of enough delegates to secure comparative quiet, he looked down to see if any nominations were forthcoming, and gazed directly Into the eyes of some 16 delegates, each with a nomination to make and a speech behind it. Somebody got in a. nomination for Sheriff, but was remind ed that the flrst duty of the pow-wow was to select a Legislative ticket and sat down with an expression of Pll-be-around-agaln deeply graven on his brow. Then W. N. Gatens made an eloquent oration on the crying necessity of selecting Legis lators at leisure, and moved that this work be left to a committee. Cries of "No, no," sounded about his ears, but Ernst Kroner, late Populist, at last sub mitted a proposjtlon to leave this import ant duty to a committee consisting of one member from each ward and three from the county precincts.

Mr -' tssfliBB!lttniV Ww isssssisHiisvi A" JOSE IVES MMAXTOUR, Jose Ives Llmantour, Secretary of tho Cabinet of President Diaz, who, it Is understood, has been selected by the President as his successor upon his retire ment within the next few months. Is a leader among the most progressive of Mexican statesmen and a member of one of the oldest and wealthiest families. He has traveled much, and la a student of finance. He has been a member of the Mexican lower house for many years, and Speaker several times. In 1892 he was appointed Assistant Secretary of Finance, and since 1893 has been head of the department. The President has the utmost confidence in the ability of Sec retary Llmantour, and his selection over General Reyes for the Presidency is due to the belief that a civil, rather than a military, man Is most needed. bate In which everybody not otherwise engaged took a hand, tho motion was put and carried, largely through the efforts of Judge Thomas O'Day, whose clarion voice played no small part in the deliberations of the evening. Havine disposed of this matter, some long-headed delegate, forseelng the result i of an effort to name a committee In con vention assembled, got a motion through providing for a recess, while members of this body were chosen by the several wards. The word chaotic Is but a poor adjective with which to describe the scene that followed. James Gleason mounted a chair and shouted for the FTrst Ward members to rally round him. Other lead ers mounted other chairs and emitted other shouts, and such a hurrying and scurry ing had never been seen in the hall be fore. After some 10 minutes of this sort of wild confusion, during which time nominating speeches rang from every part of the hall, the list was made up, and the ward captains announced their men as follows: . First Ward, James Gleason; Second Ward, M. J. Maher; Third Ward. Robert Grady; Fourth Ward, Frank Schlagel; Fifth Ward, John Montag; Sixth Ward, H. B. Nicholas; Seventh Ward, J. A. Bushman: Eighth Ward, D. M. ponaugh; Ninth Ward, W. N. Gatens; Tenth Ward. Ernst Kroner; Eleventh Ward. A- F. Fla gel; country precincts, J. W. Shattuck, A. F. Fields. N. A. Peery. "The committee will meet In the side room." said Chairman Van Zante. point ing excitedly with his gavel to a corner of the room. Mr. Gleason climbed up on his chair and objected. Ernst Kroner also objected, and so did ery one else who could make himself heard, although it was not apparent what any one was objecting to. R. W. Montague, taking advantage of a lull In the confusion to get the chair man's eye, moved that none of the dele gations choose men from among their own members. Mr. Gleason was once more on his chair, mopping the perspiration from his brow. "Do you think- we want office?" he In quired savagely, glaring at the mover. Then a wave of hilarity broke over the uneasy surface of the hall, and the dele gates forgot all about the committee and took up the order of business, which was the nomination for Sheriff. William Reldt placed In nomination J. J. Driscoll, who was slated for the office by way of shunting him off the main line for Senator, and John Golden, the Neor of the pow-wow, named L. T. Peary, as serting that Peary had never voted for a Republican for United States Senator. Ow ing to Peary's refusal to run, this argu ment did not carry weight, and Driscoll got the nomination amid wild applause. H. B. Adams was chosen as the candi date for County Judge, defeating E. B. Seabrooke and J. V. Beach, all of whom were nominated and seconded In mighty periods of oratory. It was somewhere along at this stage of the proceedings that R. W. Montague moved that no "nominat ing speeches be made, and his motion seemed so reasonable to the delegates that it was carried with great unanimity. But when, a little later, some one got up to talk, and Mr. Montague rose to a point of order. It was found that the secretary. h.inc n tme Democrat, had not recorded the motion, so the flow of language went, on unlnterrupiea. Charles Hlrstcl and B. S. Rellly were put up for the County Treasurershlp. and Rellly won. Robert J. O'Nell and R. E. Graham were unanimously chosen as can didates for Justice of the Peace on the East and West Sides, H. W. Lang was al lowed to make the flght unaer tne .Demo cratic banner for the similar place at Mount Tabor, and t"he nominations for Constables were passed. The solemn hush of midnight did not break Into the hall when the clock struck 12, for at that time, John Lamont, with arm outstretched, and syllable after sylla ble rolling down his tongue, was busily engaged in the congenial occupation of nominating R. D. Inman for Mayor, and the delegates, who had begun to weary, were listening to him with some show of attention. When the name of Inman had at last been fairly launched, the lights went out, but the delegates were not long in the dark, being enlightened by a foren sic effort from W. A. Munly, whose choice for this honor was W. E. Robertson. Ex Pollceman Parker was the next man to get the floor, and kept it for 10 minutes, in spite of heroic efforts to howl him down. His mission was to second the nomination of R. D. Inman. John Golden thought that Pennoyer would be the proper gen- tleman to make the run. and said so, audi bly. The vote was: Inman SI Robertson 61 Pennoyer 2 Total 1 Mr. Robertson did the square thing by moving to make it unanimous, a motion which was carrlid with stentorian ac claim. In spite of the fact that Judge Thomas O'Day was placed In nomination for the office of City Attorney, E. C. Bronaugh was made the choice of the pow-wow by 10 majority. Reginald Thompson was named for Mu nicipal Judge by acclamation. Douglas Taylor was .made the candidate for City Engineer in the same. way. The caucus then adjourned to meet In convention, and L. A. Lewis was chosen to run for County Surveyor. The list of Councilmen reported by the wards was as follows: First ward T. J. Concannon. Seventh ward Passed. Eighth ward D. T. Sherrett. Tenth ward George Lewis. f SECRET ARY OF CABIPfET. Eleventh ward Passed. The Road Supervisors' ticket follows: Precinct CO Cummlngs Merrill. Precinct C3 D. M. Roberts. Precinct 64 J. M. Hlllyard. Precinct 6&-J. P. Kelly. Precinct 70 John Cronquest. The pow-wow adjourned, at 1:30 A. M., to meet in convention Saturday, and bj ratifying the Ross-Mackay-Cohen selec tions, to launch a fusion ticket. PERSONAL MENTION. ( H. B.

There Is no obligation upon us to ex plain the Jokes of our neighbor, the Her ald, but one of our readers thlnk3 that a Joke which appeared recently In its col umns was on, and not by, that paper, and that people ought to have a chance to de cide for themselves which it was. The Joke consisted of a picture, purporting to be. that of an ancient Roman relic dug up at Herborn, Germany a stone slab on which were rudely carved two children seated at desks, and under them this in scriptionr "Solamen tebellls in schola genla renvmber s deos ter n cave tergo vest vides." Accompanying the picture was text gravely attempting to translate the Latin and seeing In it a command for the children to keep their tablets In good order. Our troubled reader says that this Inscription Is simply South German Jargon, "such as Is used by peasants, and can be easily turned Into: "So lamentabel Is In scho langen, Jahren, urn ersde Ostern ka Wetter gewest wie des." That means. It seems: "Such lamentable weather as this on the first (day) of Easter has not happened In many years." All this. would have pleased Bill Stump, and perhaps It will please other people. Just possibly the Herald will reveal whether it Joked or was Joked. Last year 26,000 new houses were built In London. Probably they are now filled by 120,000 people, the population of a large borough. This Is the way London grows every year. SHIP SUBSIDY.AND CANAL RESOLTTTIONS BY MANUFACTURERS' ASSOCIATION. Reports on the Metric System Mea- tana Stockgrowerg in Session Other Conventions. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., April 16. At to day's session of the National Associa tion of Manufacturers, the debate on the president's address referring to-tho met ric system was resumed. A circular of In quiry on the metric system, sent out to all members by the committee on weights and measures, with a view of obtaining their opinions, was read at the request of President Search, who thought it best lor the association not to take action for or against the system at pres ent. The convention adopted resolutions Indorsing the work of the National Reci procity Convention at Washington. A resolution was also passed asking for tho Irrigation of arid lands. A resolution asking Andrew Carnegie to found a com mercial school was defeated. Resolutions favoring ship subsidy leg islation and the immediate construction of the isthmian canal were adopted without speeches for or against. A resolution against the bill now pending in Congress, known as the anti- injunc tion bill was not thought to be worded strong enough, and was referred back to the committee to be again reported tomorrow morning, and another resolu tion against the eight hour working day legislation now pending in Congress was, rffter some debate adopted. The metric system resolution also was adopted. The ship subsidy resolution, which the association unamiously adopt ed, follows: "That this association recommends to Congress such legislation as may be necessary to nationally extend and maintain American Interests, sufficient to carry the export products of agricul ture and manufactures In American ships. "That this association recommends a subsidy so distributed as to reach in an equitable manner all American ship ping Interests and the interests of all American ports." The isthmian resolution adopted fol lows: "Whereas, by repeated resolutions of the great parties, by the nearly unani mous vote of the House of Representa tives, by the real wish of a large ma jority of the Senate and by the almost unanimous desire of the American people, it is evident that an inter-oce-anlc canal should be built from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and "Whereas, the country, not Insisting that one. route or the other shall be preferrable. Is all tho more insistent that said action should be taken; there fore, be it "Resolved, that this association recom mend to Congress that the facts and conditions surrounding this matter be promptly considered, and, in light of those facts, the most favorable route be selected and the work of constructing an Isthmian canal be commenced with out further delay.
