THE MORNING OKEGONIAN, THURSDAY, AFRIL 24, 'l02. 11 ONE HUNDRED-MILE RACE REMARKABLE SPEED CONTEST OX THE TWO RIVERS. lOetlalco and G. W. Sharer Try Con clusions on Long Run British. Ship Dovrnn Hill Chartered. There wea a very interesting steamboat race on the "Willamette and Columbia yes terday afternoon, the contest being the most spirited affair that has been pulled off lor many a day. The contestants in yesterday's race were the White Collar liner Metlako, in command of Captain Sid Scammon, with Chief Engineer A- B. Andrews, and the R&eulator liner G. W. Shaver, in command of Captain William Alden, with Chief Engineer Cushings to keep the wheel moving. The two boats left The Dalles promptly on time yester day morning, and moved down the river pretty close together. The Shaver reached the -Cascades ahead of her rival, but both made a pretty even get-away from The Dalles, and kept in very short hailing dis tance of each other all the way 4own to Vancouver. Both made touch-and-go land ings at this point, and got away on an even Elart at 1:51 P. M. There was plenty of room in the river, which has two banks at Vancouver, the same as elsewhere, but the boats seemea to like company, and before they were a mile from the dock they snuggled up to gether and the Metlako lovingly laid her guard up over that of the Shaver, and for the remainder of the journey they ran with locked guards. In the mix-up the Shaver got a little the worst of It, so far as position was concerned, for when they pulled Into the Willamette the Metlako was between her and the west side of the river, where her dock at Portland was lo cated. There was no opportunity for -changing this position, so side by side ;ey raced up the Willamette and passed through the bridges like a double team covered with one blanket. The-Shaver's dock is at the foot of Oak street, and that of the Metlako three blocks farther south, consequently the Shaver was obliged to commence backing while the other boat was gcing ahead ful speed, and there the race ended, and was declared a tie. The finish was witnessed by a big crowd or people on both sides of the river and on the bridges, and is said to be the greatest contest that has been seen on the river since he Lurllne chased the Multnomah nearly up to Boss Island In order to beat her on the trip from Vancouver. In the old davs there was more or less danger In con gests of this kind, as there was practically no limit to the steam that was carried, while now the lock safety valves prevent dangerous steam pressure. It is something over 100 miles from The Dalles to Portland, and the boats covered It yesterday in a little over eight hours, Including stops and time lost in locking through at the Cascades. The time from Vancouver to Portland was one hour and 20 minutes. FOR DECEMBER LOADING. British Ship Downn Hill Will Come Prom Alpoa Day. The British ship Dowan Hill was char tered yesteiday to load wheat at Portland next December at 30 shillings. The vessel is a well-known craft in the Pacific Coast wheat trade, and was last at Portland in December, 183G. She Is in the same em ploy as the Garnet Hill, Damson Hill, L-oudin Hill. Primrose Hill and'Prlor Hill, all of which have loaded at Portland at different tlrrcs In the past 10 years. The Garnet Hill was the last of the fleet to load here, and in 1899 took out a cargo of lumber for the Orient, and later in the year a cargo of wheat for Europe. The Primrose Hill, which was lost with all on board In the English Channel about two years ago, was last in Portland in 1894, grounding In the harbor at that time, and causing the river pilot In charge to have his license suspended. The Dowan Hill Is the fourth ship char tered within the past week to come from South Africa, in ballast. It is not unusual for a few vessels to come from the Caper each year, but with so many of them starting from that quarter so early in the season, it Is apparent that there Is not much business obtainable in that part of the world, or In the ports nearer to Algoa Bay. The voyage to" Portland re quires an average of over 100 days, most of the vessels being out nearly four months, so that there Is not much differ ence In the run from South Africa and that from Europe. With tho exception of the quartet of new-crop ships from Algoa Bay, the gieater part of the new-ilrop tonnage has been secured from the fleet of ships going out to the Orient. GERMANY PROTESTS. IVewspapers Take n Gloomy View of the Steamship Combine. BERLIN. April 28. The long press dis patch describing the exultation In New York over the formation of the shipping combine is commented upon here gloomil and with ulsmay. The Tages Zeitung asks the government to interfere in the matter because the companies obtain subsidies on American lines and the fast auxiliary cruisers of the trans-Atlantic lines. The paper asserts the policy of the new com bination to be cheap freight rates from here to the United States and that the combination Is formed as an adjunct to American railways, mines and Iron works. The steamship Unas will eventually dis criminate against German Industries, says the Tages Zeitung. One note In the wide spread newspaper comment on this project is that of injured pride, in that the two greatest steamship lines of the world, built up by genius and capital, should pass under American control. The Staats Zeitung, discussing W. T. Stead's idea for the Americanization of the world, de fines Americanism as an incessant, ex clusive and reckless striving for wealth. The paper expresses its dread of the ma terialisation of German stfolcty if the American view of life prevails. It con cludes half a page of moralizing with the words: "Germany is without antipathy to the United States. It may learn something from American technical progress, but it does not need to be Americanised." Opposition in Austria. VIENNA, April 23. The comment here is generally adverse to the Morgan steam ship combine. The Neuste Weiner Jour nal characterizes It as the first world trust, and says: "The Interests of the entire world are opposed to America monopolizing tae world shipping traffic or using Inter national navigation to develop its own ex port trade and serve Its own political ends. The present organization contains the root of a still closer combine, of which America will be the strongest member, notwithstanding the fact that Germany Is able to bring Into the pool 100 times the traffic of America, yet the superior or ganized financial power of the Morgan syndicate will eventually give the United State supreme control. From the stand point of National interests, the trust is the most dangerous conceivable thing, and it Is only natural that the states affected should watch the develop ment most closely. It may be found necessary to extend the system of state ownership to the sphere hitherto left ex clusively for private Initiative. Yet state ownership of the commercial marine would greatly reduce Its mobility and give freah advantage to America, which has other means of defending and concentrat ing its own interests." Badly Fed Sailors Get Damages. HONOLULU, April 15. United States Judce Eetee this morning gave a decision i awarding the two sailors who libeled: the. bark Frank W. Howe $&W each extra com pensation on account of shortage of food and bad food on board the, vessel on her trip here from New York via Mauritius. The Judge found that the men had had, less than two-thirds of the Iegaf rations, and that they had been kept in cramped and leaking quarters. The Hbellants are Levi Hall and Edward Woods, two ne groes, wh6 are now in the hospital suffer ing from a disease which the doctors say is scurvy, or beri-beri, brought on by Im proper nourishment during the voyage and bad quarters. British Rot All Satisfied. LONDON. April 23. The Standard. In an editorial protests loudly against the ship ping combine. While regretting that the Americans are outdistancing the British in industrial competition, the paper says. "So long as American enterprise is lim ited to what our laws and customs regard as legitimate Industry, and so long as American capital is employed In undertak ings of public utility in Great Britain vfh have no occasion for apprehension. But the shipping combine is quite another matter and concerns the public safety." Then the Standard demands guarantees that British subidised steamers shall not be transferred to the American flag, and urges Parliament to see that the pro posed arrangements do not exceed the limits of legitimate enterprise. Grain Ships Arrive Oat. Two more of the Portland grain fleet reported out yesterday, the German bark G. H. Wappaus arriving nt Falmouth, after a rather slow passage of 113 days, and the Clcomene passed Klnsdale, 12S days out. The arrival of the Wappaus. leaves but one vessel of the November fleet still on the way, with the exception of the delayed Nelson and Leyland Bros., both of which put back for repairs, and did not sail again until December. The belated November ship still on the way is the Carlo P., which sailed one week earlier than the G. H. Wappaus. She will soon be out long enough to be a sub ject for reinsurance. Smallpox on Liner. VICTORIA, B. C April 23. The China Mutual liner Yangtsp arrived here this evening, S3 days from London, via 8uez, the Straits Settlements, China and Japan. She went to quarantine, one of the Chln-J ese crew having a mild case of smallpox. As the case was observed on the 15th, and the patient has been Isolated since that time, the ship will probably be re leased tomorrow. Province to Q.nlt Ralltvay Salt. VICTORIA, B. C, April 23.

WORK AT GRAY'S HARBOR Contractors Begin Again nt Jetty How Men Are Rescued. Work was resumed on the construction of the jetty at tho pntrance to Gray's Harbor on April 12, by the contractors, Messrs. Hale & Kern, and Is now under full headway. In all, some 250 men are employed on the Jetty, at the quarry, and on the tugs, and barges conveying rock from the quarry at Fisher's Landing to the Jetty. The tug Hercules tows the loaded barges from the quarry to Astoria, and the Sampson tows them out of the Colum bia and up the coast to Gray's Harbor. A few days ago the Sampson towed a barge loaded with rock from Astoria to Gray's Harbor, and brought back an emp ty barge, a round trjp of about 135 miles, In 13& hours. The barges are run into a slip at Gray's Harbor, where the rock is loaded on cars by the aid of derricks, and with other cars loaded with brush for mats, pushed out to the end of the Jetty, where a pile-driver is at work extending the tramway. It is expected that the jetty will be completed in about five months. At the pile-driver a boat Is kept sus pended from davits and a supply of life preservers Is provided in case of acci dent. A few days ago, Ben Peterson, "one of the men employed on the pile-driver, fell off into the sea, and was quickly swept away by a strong current, George and Arthur Getty saw Peterson struggling In the water, and quickly lowered the boat and soon overtook and rescued hlrrii They had scarcely regained their footing on the pile-driver before a huge roller carne tum bling in and swept completed over the tramway, as If In search of the men; but id did not get them.

The report of the railroad committee of the Board of Trade on The Dallefl-Cefllo portage project will soon be printed. It was given yesterday to the secretary ot the board. He will have it put Into type at once. The work of Incorporating a new company to pay the liens against the road and to take over It3 property will now go forward. Secrolary Moore yesterday sent requests to a number of leading citizens of Interior towns to Join in incorporating the com pany. The following persons have been asked to become members: 31. A. Moody, The Dalles: Baker Bros.; Goldendale; C. W. Lord, Arlington; E. L. Smith, Pendle ton; J. W. Scrlber. La Grande; Peter J Basche, Baker City; J. H. Altken, Hunt ington; T. C. Eliott, Levi Ankeny, Walla Walla; "P. E. Jerard, Dayton, Wash,; J. R. Stevenson, Pomeroy; J. W. Stearns, Pullman; Theodore Reed, .Moscow; J. C Lawrence, Garfield H. W. Hanford, Oakcs dale; . P. acCornack, Palouse; E. H. Llbbyt Lewiaton; W. L. Stelnwlg, North Yakima; A. E. Case. Waterville; C. C. May, Davenport; James Turner, RItzvllle. The corporation will have the adminis tration of the portage roadr and will finish and operate it with the funds subscribed for the purpose. The money needed to put the road into operation Is" about $200,000. Subscriptions to stock will be made on condition that this whole amount shall be raised. The track between Big Eddy and a point opposite Celllo, 10 miles long, Is finished, and terminals and rolling stock can be ob tained for about $35,000. With this expen diture the road could be put Into shape for Immediate, use. About $40,000 would also be necessary for a steamboat and for four or five barges to ply above Celllo Falls. Finally, there are liens against the road by contractors, to the extent of $130,000 which would have to be paid. ' It Is believed by the railroad committee and the officers of the board that the project can be put through. They say that a large part of the money Is already In sight. The present owners of the road, mem bers of the Columbia Railway & Naviga tion Company, will give over the property of the road in exchange for stock in the new corporation. A meeting of the pres ent owners was held In this city last week, and satisfactory arrangements were made for giving over the road. If plans carry, the road can be finished within four months after beginning work, and this season's crop can be floated to the sea. Without further railroad construction the portage road could be used for pass ing freight around the obstructions in the river all the year round, except at high water, -which lasts about a month every Spring. Steamboats can reach the west ern end of the road at Big Eddy by going up Three-MJle Rapids. If the Govern ment would appropriate money to remove dangerous rocks in this rapid, boats could pass up and down with perfect safety. To extend the road down around this rapid, 2 miles would cost about $50,000. If that amount of money over $200,000 is raised, the extension may bo made, but the policy will be to wait until next CongresiTmeets, to see whether the Government will take the dangerous rocks out of Three-June Rapld. This will be known in time for the company to decide whether to make the extension before next year's crop. It is not necessary at present to build the seven-mile eastern extension to Colum bus. Steamboats can now work down th river to the present eastern terminus ot the road. The only danger Is at the up per end of Hell's Gate, where a few rocks are in the way, but they can be avoided. Over half the grading for the extension to Columbus is finished. To finish the track about $60,000 would be necessary. Citizens of the interior are beginning to take aa interest in the plans for complet ing the portage road. Many requests have come from them for copies of the report of the railroad committee. They will b, combine Is commented upon here gloomily sent out as soon as they are printed. Married by Telephone. CINCINNATI, 0., April 23. A Dayton, Ky., widow and a Hopklnsvllle man met today for the first time, after having been married over long-distance telephone. The telephone charges for the service were $23.

Trade vMark, Box and Label Forged. the Lucky Discovery of Spurious Article. the WhUe it may be true that "imitation Is the sincerest form of flattery," it does not follow that the originator and owner cf a valuable copyrighted article will quietly submit to the knave who steals the honest man's money by deliberate forgery. A well-known Boston business man, who has, by patient industry, keen insight and honest effort, built up a large and constantly increasing business, dis covered a few months ago that some one, who ought to be repenting in prison, had made and was selling in San Francisco an inferior article, which bore but a faint resemblance to the original, and by the use of the photo-electrotype process had forged the box label, the circular and trademark of Ben Levy's Lablache Face Powder, which Is known all over the world, and Is In general use by the best and moat distinguished women, not only in America, but also In London.

When Mr. evy's attention was called to this matter, he immediately consulted his attorneys, Messrs. Brandels, Dunbar & Nutter, of Boston, and Messrs. Rothchlld & Ach. of San Francisco, who brought a bill of complaint in the United States Cir cuit Court of Northern-Callfornia against J. M. Wright & Co., of San Francisco, the seller of this spurious powder, and ob tained an injunction, proniomng iurtner sales. Suit is also brought to recover damages. The forger did his work, so cleverly that careful scrutiny Is necessary to detect the difference between tha genuine and the spurious. The box label of the genuine lr clear and bright, while the printing of the counterfeit label Is dark and muddy. Mr. Levy feels that his reputation is at stake, and ho is sparing no trouble or ex pense to right this wrong. The Lablache Powder Is a positive benefit to the com jDlexlon, and 13 the most delightful, prepa ration of the kind known, while the spuri ous article is deleterious and liable to cause Injury. Mr. Levy- asks that every lady using the Lablache will examine the label carefully, and If In doubt as to the genuineness of the article to send to "Ben Levy & Co., 125 Kingston street, Bos ton, the circular or the cover of the box, together with the name of the dealer from who It was purchased, and if it is the counterfeit she will be advised by return mall, so that she can demand that hei money be refunded, and whoever sold It will be prosecuted by Ben Levy & Co., to the full extent of the law. remarkable operation that of grafting a piece of a dog's skull upon a human head. The patient Is John Olberg, of Kenton, Houghton County. Ho is now recovering from an old affliction. Olberg'e skull was fractured four years ago.
