THE MORNING OEEGONIAN, THURSDAY, 'APRIL' IT, 1902.
FIRST FROM OREGON
Wheat Ship From Portland
Arrives at Bremen.
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 is In excellent
condition.
BIGGEST LUMBER CARGO.
Theodor "Wille Clears for China
With 2,500,000 Feet.
The German steamship Theodor Wille
finished a cargo of lumber yesterday. 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. All the
Injury was above the water line. The
damage is estimated at $5000. The City
of Puebla will be much delayed. 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. Leathers, for the
J. W. & V. Cook Packing Company, of
Blaine. Wash., was completed by the
custom officials today. The dimensions of
the launch are as follows: Length, 43.4
feet: beam, 10.5 feet; depth, 4.4 feet; ton
nage, 14 tons gross, 10 tons net.
Weather Bureau Signal Torrer.
ASTORIA, Or., April 16. Work has been
commenced on erecting the signal tower
at the foot of Tenth street, on the water
front, for the Weather Bureau. It will be
a steel frame, high enough for signals to
be seen at a great distance, and flags will
be used in day and colored lights at night.
Breaks a Record.
VANCOUVER, B. C, April 16. The
steamer" Moana arrived today from Syd
ney, lowering the record from Australian
ports to this city by one day. She made
the run from Sydney in 22 days, 104 hours.
Marine Notes.
The steamship Strathgyle, o the Portland-Asiatic
line, arrived at Astoria
yesterday morning promptly on time,
and will be in Portland today.
The Danish bark Prlncesse Marie, ar
rived at Queenstown yesterday, 123 days
out from Portland. She sailed Decem
ber 14, with 27,493 barrels of flour, loaded
by the Portland Flouring Mills. The
value of the cargo is $56,590. As usual,
the Portland grain fleet is distancing all
competitors in the race for foreign ports,
and of such is the good of a fresh
winter harbor.

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. The catch
of fish for the first day of the season here
was much lighter than for several years.
Seines were put In operation today. The
price paid is 5 cents, fish under 25 pounds;
over that weight, a half-cent more per
pound.
FREEWATER-MILTOX SQUABBLE.
Surveyor Called In to Decide Which
Town Saloon Was In.
FREE WATER?. 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. Mayor
Carter informed the Council that a
careful estimate of the receipts and ex
penses of the city for the year Indi
cated that there would be a surplus of
about $10,000, and it would be possible
to provide street lights and still not go
In debt. 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. After a fierce de-

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.

Joker or Jokeef
New York Times.
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.

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.
Montana Stock Growers.
HELENA, Mont., April 16. The Mon
tana Stockgrowers Association con
cluded its 17th annual session at Miles
City last night J. T. Brown, of Blr

OLD PEOPLE
Do not always receive the sympathy and attention which
they deserve. Their ailments are regarded as purely
imaginary, or natural and unavoidable at their time of
life. Disease and infirmity should not always be associ-
ated with old age. The eye of the gray haired grandsirel
may be as bright and the complexion as fair as. any of 1
his younger and more vigorous companions.
Good Blood fm tho sscret ofhexlthy oldgo, for it regulates
and controls every part of the body, strengthens the nerves, makes the
muscles elastic and supple, the bones strong and the flesh firm; but when
this life fluid is polluted or poisoned and loses its nutritive, health sustain
ing elements, then there is a rapid decline of the vital powers, resulting
in premature old age and disease. Any derangement of the blood quickly
shows itself in an ulcer, sore, wart, tumor or some other troublesome
growth upon the body, and rheumatic and neuralgic pains become almost
constant, accompanied with poor digestion and cold extremities.
ailments disappear. S. S. .S. is just such a tonic as old people need to
improve a weak digestion and tone up the Stomach. If there is any heredi
tary taint, or the remains of some disease contracted in early life, S. S. S.
will search it out and remove every vestige of it from the system.

you. This will cost you nothing, and we will mail free our book on blood
and skin diseases. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC COMPANY, Atlanta, 6a.
