Railroad Notes.
Commercial Agent R. T. Greener, in his
report to the United States- Bureau of
Commerce, from Vladivostok, under date
of February 14, says:
The Kotsu Mara, of 1300 gross tons and
922 register tons, -which arrived recently.
Is the first ship of the new, or Tsuraga
line, which receives a subsidy of $70,003
from the Japanese Government.
A Japanese paper (the Tokyo Asaki) re
ports that the Chinese Eastern Company
(a Russian organization) has made' a con
tract with the Japanese Government for
the opening of this line, to last 10 years.
Japan Is to pay the subsidy and the Chi
nese Eastern Company Is to allow a cer
tain number of Japanese to serve on its
ships.
Turuga Is a new port on the west coast
of Japan, opened to foreigners two and a
half years ago. The port has been great
ly Improved for steamer accommodation.
The time from Vladivostok to, Tsuruga
is one and a half days, and to Osaka, the
'great manufacturing city, less than 24
hours.
In connection with this line, the Chi
nese Eastern fleet will have direct com
'anunicatlon with the United States.
Whether Japanese ships or Russian are
to sail to the United States is not quite
clear. So far as the Chinese Eastern
steamers are concerned, It Is said they
cannot carry coal enough to cross the
.Pacific. One of them (the Byrea) launched
"in 1901, has just been examined and her
boilers found useless.
While Russia is making strong efforts
to extend her commerce in the East, ev
ery ship on the Chinese Eastern lines runs
,at a loss. Steamers come in with perhaps
from IB to 300 tons of freight and from 10
to 20 passengers, but they must run ac
cording to schedule to obtain the sub
sidy. Under present tariff conditions, it
is not likely that freight will come to
.Vladivostok In largo quantities.
The schedule of the Chinese Eastern
service, which went into effect with the
new year, is:
1. Shanghai. Nagasaki and "Vladlvostock;
every 18 days.
2. Shanghai, Port Arthur. Chemulpo, Naga
saki, Vladlvostock and return; two trips per
month.
3. Shanghai, Port Arthur. Nagasaki. Fusan,
Gensau, Vladlvostock and return; monthly
Eenlce.
4. Cheefoo, Port Arthur, Dalny and return:
every day except Friday from Chefoo and Dal
ny; eery day except Wednesday from Port
Arthur.
5. Port Arthur, Nagasaki, Vladlvostock and
return, calling at Sudsuzne (Evstafia) Bay,
St. Olga Bay, Port Korsor-Kofsky, Imperator
ekala. Port Alexandrofsky and Be Kastrls
Bay.
7. Vladlvostock to Petrapavlofsk and Beh
rlng Sea, calling at port of the Sea of Ok
hotsk. Kamchatka and Behrlng Sea.
All contracts made hereafter for trans
portation of merchandise from European
Russia to Siberia and intermediate points,
says Mr. Greener In a later report, will
contain a clause that such goods must be
conveyed on ships flying the Russian
flag. This refers mainly to naval sup
plies, but the Ministry of Finance has
perfected arrangements for the shipping
of Russian products to the far East.
On May 1, 1902, the entire maritime
coast, from Polset to the Bering Sea, will
be closed to foreign ships by Imperial de
cree. This will seriously affect the coal
Interests of Sakhalin. At least 24 ships
yearly are now necessary to bring the
coal cargoes required for Vladivostok
from. Sakhalin.
Port Arthur harbor, whose entrance re
sembles that of San Francisco, is very
shallow on the Western side. A contract
has been let fqr dredging this side, to al
low vessels of larger tonnage to enter. A
canal Is also to be cut across the penin
sula, to give more direct access to Port
Arthur.
Among the Railroads.
An official report of the Siberian Rail
road gives the estimated additional cost
necessary to complete the HnS as 70,000,
000 rubles ($36,050,000). The road will Issue
loans on cargoes of grain at different
stations along the line.
An increase in passenger rates went
into effect February 21, 1902," for distances
over 3010 versts (1935 miles). For addition
ab distances exceeding 70 versts (46.4
miles), -the increase per 1000 versts (663
miles) will be: First-class, 14.25 rubles
(57 34); eecond-class, 8.55 rubles ($4 40);
third-class, 5.70 Tubles ($2 93). This will
make:
Rubles.
First-class fares . 320.75 $155 03
Second-class fares 212.75 100 50
Third-class fares 118.50 CI 02
On the western branch of the Chinese
Eastern Railroad, between the stations
Manchuria and Harbin, traffic is now
open for second, third and fourth-class
passengers. No first-class tickets are yet
Issued.
The Sungal bridge, 120 versts (79.5 miles)
from Harbin, Is not officially opened, on
account of the necessity of additional
work, but trains cross without stop.
Steamers are contracted for to ply be
tween Harbin and Blagoveschensk, via
the Sungari River and the Amur. This
TlllKfurth"er facilitate communication be
tween these cities and Vladivostok.
Under date of March 26, 1902, Con6Ul
General W. R. Holloway writes from St
Petersburg: "The rolling stock on the
Ddanchurian Railway has been largely In
creased and improved, and there is a
marked, increase in the passenger traffic
The journey from Vladivostok to Irkutsk
Is now accomplished in 15 days. The
Krasnoyarsk-Irkutsk section will be com
pleted during the coming Summer. It Is
officially announced that the express be
tween St. Petersburg and Vladivostok will
be started by April 15, and the time will
be reduced Irom 30-days to 15 days."
BIG PLATE GLASS ARRIVES
Sent Window Costing' $1000 to Be
Pnt in JT. P. Ticket Office.
The new plate-glass fronts of the North
ern Pacific Railroad Company's ticket of
fice are in the metallic casting as com
pleted, and yesterday workmen were busy
unpacking and setting up the handsome
new mahogany counters, desks, etc.,
which are Intended to make this the most
luxurious ticket office in the city. The
iargfijbept plate of glass for the circular
corner window is to be put in at once,
and will complete the changes being made
in the office. There will be no let-up to
the anxiety of all concerned, until this
large and costly bent plate is in posl
tlon, for there la a risk connected with
such windows which no one can figure out
exactly. Often several plates are broken
before one is successfully bent, and there
fore the cost of two or three failures is
added to that of the bent plate In order
to keep even.
The handsome bent plate In the corner
of Olds, Wortman & King's Department
Store has been the largest In the city
heretofore. The first plate sent out for
this corner was all in fragments when
it arrived, and another had to be sent for,
which, on arriving here, had cost some
5800. The new plate for the Northern Pa
cific ticket office Is a little longer around
the circumference than that In Olds.
Wortman & King's corner, but the latter
is higher, and contains about the same
superficial area. The next largest bent
plate Is that on the corner window of S.
Rosenblatt & Co., corner of Third and
Morrison, which cost about 5450, and has
so far escaped injury. The only other
bent plate In the city is in the corner win
dow of H. B. Litt's store. It is a narrow
one, only about four feet wide, and tills
the space caused by the removal of the
corner pier and connects the large plates
in the fronts of the store. The first plate
put In was broken some months ago. It
Is supposed, by some one throwing a stone
against it, and was replaced at a cost of
about $150. The cost of the large plate
going into the corner of the Northern
Pacific ticket office was nearly ?1000.
Should it be broken It would be cheaper
to chalk out a bend in the atmosphere
instead of replacing it, as this would iiot
obstruct the view of the elegant interior
flnlsh. and would furnish plenty of ventilation.
POLITICS IN WASHINGTON
Notes Taken fby an Observer nt
Olympla.
OUTMPIA, Wash., May 2. (To the Ed
itor.) Although thl3 is an off year, all
admit there has not been in the history
cf the state the intense interest mani
fested in the result of the coming Fall
election there is at the present time.
This is the more astonishing when we
reflect that only one state officer is to be
elected a Supreme Judge. Of course,
the principal interest centers In the Leg
islative ticket which must choose a United
States Senator to succeed George Turner.
After traveling through the state and
conversing with the leading politicians
struggling for supremacy In the coming
Senatorial contest, I find each party san
guine of success, all of which leads one
to conclude that the coming Senatorial
contest will be a lively one In this lively
The big dredge of the Port of Portland Is in process of construction in
South Portland, in the yards of the Portland Shipbulding Company. The
dredge will be a huge one, the most powerful In the United States, and as
efficient as any in the world. It will do three times as much work as the
present Port of Portland dredge, In a given time. Many people have wondered
at the queer-looking structure on the river bank. Its odd appearance comes
from a steel truss, which resembles a bridge span. This truss runs length
wise with the dredge. It Is of steel, and weighs 75 tons.v The dredge t111
be 225 feet long, 42 feet wide, 11 feet deep, and will draw about six feet of
water. The total weight will be about 1400 tons. The hull will weigh about
700 tons.
The machlnerywill.be put on board after the hull is launched. The total
cost will be about $175,000, and everything- must be complete by September 1
or the contractors will be subject to penalties which range from $25 to $150 a
day and aggregate $500 a dayj
The dredge will have two spuds at the stem, each 36 Inches In diameter
and SO feet long. These are for holding the dredge up to Its work. They are
alternately Imbedded In the bottom of the river, and raised, and as the bow
political commonwealth where we havo
so many generals and so few privates.
There are three distinct, well-defined
factions contending for supremacy. One
is headed by Governor McBride, who Is
nominally the head of the party. The
Governor is a man of fair ability, is a
fighter and something of a politician, and
is regarded as an honest man, with de
cided convictions. It is understood that
he thinks the corporations have dominated
the party policy and dictated the nomina
tions of the party long enough, and inas
much as there is a law In this state pro
tecting the railroads and other corpora
tions against the people, there Gbould
be laws on the statute books protecting
the people against the railroads.
During the last session of the Legisla
ture the Governor was president of the
Senate, and sought to secure certain re
strictive legislation, but the corporations,
through their retainers, paid lobby and
their sack, were too much for the Gov
ernor, and put his little scheme to sleep.
This has not discouraged him, since his
elevation from Lieutenant-Governor he
has continued his fight with renewed
vigor. So far as I have been able to learn
the Governor has not prostituted the pat
ronage of his office to building upa party
or dynasty at the expense of the public
service. It is thought his first considera
tion has been to have honest and efficient
officers appointed. Of course, they are in
accord with his views in controlling or
regulating the great corporations of the
state.
The Governor's candidate for Senator is
Hon. Harold Preston, of King County.
Mr. Preston Is an old law partner of the
Governor, who is a reputable attorney,
and Is regarded as one of the ablest at
the Seattle bar a man without magnetism
or any of the wiles or arts of the dema
gogue; a man who would not shine In the
United States Senate, but would wear and
in the end command the respect and con
fidence of his fellows, and would make a
most capable and useful member of that
antiquated body. Mr. Preston has the
reputation with those who know him best
as an honest man, fearless and upright in
all the walks of life.
It Is said by those best advised that
Levi Ankeny, of Walla Walla, is being
urged for Senator by the lobby of the
Northern Pacific Railway, while J. L.
Wilson Is being groomed by the Great
Northern. It is also alleged that Mr.
Wilson is the personal representative of
JMr. J. J. Hill, and is in charge of his
property or interest in the Post-Intelll-gencer.
Mr. Ankeny is an old-timer; a banker,
who has amassed a large fortune in that
business. He Is a. liberal, broad-minded
man of affairs who his friends and ad
mirers claim would have made as great
a mark in the financial world at Pierpont
Morgan had he lived In New York. All
concede that he Is a man of ability. Integ
rity and high character. There is no doubt
but what he has a large personal follow
ing throughout the state, as well as the
confidence and respect of his neighbors.
Wilson representing( the third faction
has been a member of the House of Rep
resentatives for a short time, and filled
an unexpired term in the Senate, and suc
ceeded in securing a number of offices for
his friends, without reference to the wel
fare of the public service, "including
Brother Harry" which some of the people
here claim is about the measure of hla
statesmanship, the limit of his usefulness
In the halls of Congress.
It Is conceded here that the first great
fight will be In the state convention. The
Governor and his friends will insist that
the paramount duty of the convention
will be to embody In the platform the doc
trine that the cprporations shall be con
trolled and regulated by law, and that
the said law must be enforced, which will
not be done if the railroads choose the
courts and the executive officers, that they
must not In the future, as In the sst,
dominate the legislation of the state and
control the nominating conventions. The
Governor and his friends will make an
xaerging of the Great Northern and North
w. - - ... . ... . ..,uca oy
tha Governor and his friends that tho
salvation of the party this Fall depends,
upon such a course.
It is thought the corporations will seek
to defeat sucu a move in the Republican
state convention, which, of course, will
precipitate a bitter fight. Many of the
leading Republicans think this Is the
crucial point, tJjat It Is vital. In short,
with such, a plank in the Democrat
platform, and a failure to put It in the
Republican platform, will be fatal, result
ing in another Voorhees landslide. It Is
claimed by many of the leading men In
Loth parties that, inasmuch as Wilson and
Ankeny are both satisfactory to the rail
roads, all the Influence and power of the
railroads will at the proper time be con
centrated to the support of one of these
men. It may be Wilson or it may be An
keny. They all agree that Mr. Hill is In
the merger business, and In it to win, and
at the proper time he will take the under
lings and retainers of the two roads by
the ears, crack their heads together, and
direct them to support the one of these
two candidates that will best subserve ihis
purpose. This Is certainly like the meth
ods of Mr. Hill in the past. Those who
know him best say he careo little for
promises direct or implied, and still less
for men, but everything for success in his
undertakings. This Is the practical side
of Mr. Hill, -who looks alone to results,
Tegardless of men or methods. ShoiildJ
this happen the Governor will have a very
lively time in landing Mr. Preston in the
Senate. It is feared Mr. Hill will take it
into his head to enter, through his lobby

and paid hirelings, the conventions nomi
nating the Legislative ticket, in which
event he will make It still more difficult
for the party to secure remedial or re
strictive legislation. Those best advised
say there is no kind of doubt but what
King County will send a solid delegation
to Olympla instructed to support Preston
for Senator. This, of course, will place
the Post-Intelligencer in a very tight
place, as well as the man Wilson, who, as
Hill's agent, controls it. How the paper
will maintain Itself locally and appease
the owner is one of the questions of the
future. How Wilson will square himself
with his principal Is one of the problems
for that little squirming, versatile poli
tician to settle. OBSERVER.

Requests for the "Horse Boole.'
WASHINGTON, May 4. Members of
Congress from all parts of the country
are being flooded with requests for copies
of the "Horse Book," published by the
Department of Agriculture, but owing to
the exhaustion of the supply several years
ago copies are not now obtainable. A few
weeks ago a resolution was passed au
thorizing a reprint of this valuable doc
ument, but It will be several months be
fore It will be ready for distribution. The
officials of the Agricultural Department
say they wish to revise the work and
bring it up to date before it goes to press,
so as to give the farmers the benefit of
the very latest researches that have been
made by their experts Into the diseases of
the horse. Without question, this report
has been the most popular of any yet put
forth by the Government. It has had
several editions to date, but no copies
have been placed to the credit of mem
bers of the last two or three Congresses.
When the ned edition Is ready copies can
be had through Senators and Representa

PUBLIC IAND LEASING
NO BILL CAN BE PASSED THAT DE
PARTMENT DISAPPROVES OF.
Cattlemen Are Notified That All
Fences Mast Be Removed From
the Public Domain.
WASHINGTON, May 4. It will not be
possible to secure the passage of any
bill for leasing the vacant public lands of
the West that does not have the approval
of the Interior Department. It Is not
necessary that the department accept all
the provisions of the bill, but whatever
measure passes, it any, must in general
be acceptable to the Secretary of the In
terior and the Commissioner of the Gen
eral Land Office. And at present there
Is no such bill In sight.
When the representatives of Western
cattle companies who have been appear
ing before the House committee found that
they could not rush through either the
Millard or Bowersock bill, they proposed
to pass some law providing only for leas
ing the public ranges of the State of Ne
braska, basing the amount of leasehold
on the extent of freehold, and Inserting a
provision that no Individual should ac-

swings from side to side in fdredglng the channel the spuds drive the dredge
forward.
The dredge will have engines that will develOD between 1500 and 2000
horsepower. Power will be generated in four Jleine safety boilers, whose
total heating surface will be 12,400 square feet. The main engine and cutters
will be provided by local contractors, the winding engine will come from
Seattle, the main pump and rubber connections for the discharge pipe from
California, and the boilers, ladders and discharge pipe from the East. The
contracts were thus apportioned In order to get the dredge finished as sopn
as possible. v
The discharge pipe will be 30 Inches in diameter the largest on the Coast.
The diameter of the pipe of the present Port of Portland dredge Is 20 inches.
A 30-inch dredge Is In use at Philadelphia, and a 22-inch at Boston. On the
Mississippi River there are several dredges whose discharge pipes range from
30 to 34 Inches, but none of them has as much power as the one at Portland
will have. "I will back our new dredge up against any In the world," says
J. C. B. Lockwood, consulting engineer of the Port of Portland. Under or
dinary circumstances a 20-Inch dredge, can remove 200,000 cubic yards of sand
In a month. The new dredge should do three times that amount of work In
the same time.
quire under the act a tract exceeding
50,000 acres of grazing land. Their pleas
for the passage of such a bill have been
strong, but the committee has been un
wavering. Seeing that no report could be had from
the committee until the department had
taken some, action, these cattle interests
appeared before Secretary Hitchcock ana
Land Commissioner Hermann, In the hope
of securing their approval of a bill on the
lines above indicated. But again they
met with defeat. They were told that the
department could not pass on any bill un
til It had been formally drawn, and had
then been referred to them for opinion.
The officials are not to be trapped into
saying they will approve this or that bill,
when the bill has not taken definite shape.
The only hope of the cattlemen now is to
draw up a leasing bill in such shape as
to meet the objections raised by Commis
sioner Hermann and the .Secretary on the
Millard bill. But there Is a radical differ
ence of opinion which enters here, and
from present Indications there Is lime
or no probability that a compromise can
be brought about
There is reason to believe that the de
partment will not approve a bill fixing
the maximum amount of leasehold at 50,
000 acres. Such a bill would be operr to
the same objections, In a modified form,
as were raised to the pending bills, name
ly, that It would be primarily drawn In
the Interest of the large owners or com
panies, and would work to the detriment
of the homesteader and small stockowner.
While a poll of the public lands com
mittees has not been made, the talk of
several of the leading members indicate
that there is considerable shyness about
reporting any leasing bill, especially at
this time. In all but a few states the
general sentiment Is against that class
cf legislation, and members do not care to
go on record as opposing the wishes of
their constituents. More than this, oth
ers believe that any leasing bill, no matter
how carefully drawn, would allow loop
holes through which the cornoratlons
t would In time be able to acquire prac
tical ownership of the great bulk of the
now vacant public lands, and such a con
dition Is generally acknowledged to be to
the detriment of the public welfare. The
cattlemen are threatening to "make it
j warm" for some members of the commit
tee ivno are not wining to support a leas
ing bill, but their Influence Is not suf
ficiently great .to control a majority of the
votes.
The representatives of Western cattle
Interests, who have been about Washing
ton lately. In the hope of Influencing leg
islation affectlnir their Interests, have so
ffar met with nothing but failures. They
recently called at the White House to en
list the President's support of a leasing
bill, and, falling In, that, asked that he
direct the Indefinite suspension of the or
ders of the Interior Department that all
fences Illegally erected on the public
ranges be removed. There arc, over COO
such fences which have recently been
ordered removed by the department
within a reasonable time, the law provid
ing that no fences shall be erected on
1 the public domain. Time and again these
! cncAQ VinT Vuwn fnnii1vl finH rlelaw nf
one character and another have been
granted, until all patience has been lost
with the lawbreakers.
The fact that the President had had
experience on Western ranges led the cat
tle mennc-w In the city to appeal to him.
But. to their surprise, the President said
that while he sympathized with them In
their difficulty, and realized the trouble
and expense to which they would be put,
he could not see his way clear to grant
further extensions of time, and directed
that they act as ordered by the depart
ment. This illegal fencing is not confined
td any one section, but prevails all over
the sheep and cattle-raising states.
The Interior Department has determined
to go ahead with this work of removing
fences wherever they are found to exist.
Immediately upon receipt of reports of
violations of the law, orders are to be
served on the offending persons notifying
them to remove the fences within -a spe
cified time. If they fail to do so, proceed
ings will be taken against them through
the Department of Justice, and the fences
i will be removed by representatives of the
Government, who have full authority to
act in such cases.
' FRANK J. TURK IN JAIL:
Sentenced in Honolulu for Boarding
American Vessels.
News has been received from Honolulu
that Frank J. Turk, formerly of Portland,
has been sentenced to serve a term of SO
days In Oahu prison for a violation of the
law regarding the boarding of vessels be
fore they had been passed upon by the
quarantine officials. On April 16 It ap
pears that Turk, his partner, Oscar
Lewis, and his employer, William Young,
boarded the American ship Arthur Sewall
before she had been examined by the cus
toms officials. They had been warned to
stay off the ship, but they declined to pay
any attention to the quarantine officer,
and they were placed under arrest. When
arraigned In the court Young entered a
plea of guilty, and was fined $20. The
others also entered picas? In the hope of
being let off with similar fines, but they
were taxed $20 each and were sentenced
to 30 days in the prison.
Neither was prepared for the term of In
door hardship, and both were surprised
when the sentence was pronounced They
were taken to the prison, and Judge Estee
decided that as they had been frequent
violators of the law they must remain
there to fulfill their sentences.
After the trial Mrs. Turk assumed the
management of her husband's business.
She engaged a sailor named Gerrard to
tmi
look after the shipment of crews, and she
saw that the captains who were In need
of men were supplied when they offered
the requisite price.
Turk Is very well known in Portland. He
was raised In Portland, and was a son of
the late Jim Turk, who was a sailor-boarding-house
man. Frank engaged In
the business himself both here and In
Astoria, and a few years ago he raised
a great deal of trouble for the other
houses. During the Pennoyer adminis
tration he was a police officer. After his
discharge he had a sailor boarding-house
here and at Astoria, and he transferred
his operations thence to Honolulu.
HIGH WIND AT ST. LOUIS
Storm Resulted in Much Damage
Lishtniner Canned Fires.
ST. LOUIS, May 4. For a short time this
afternoon a terrific storm of wind and
rain prevailed in this city and vicinity,
causing much damage. Lightning result
ed in seevral fires, one of which destroyed
the machine shops and a section of the
foundry of William and Philip Medart's
patent pulley plant in South St. Louis.
The loss Is estimated at $300,000. In all
parts of the city trees, fences, signs, awn
ings,, etc., were blown down and other
damage done by the wind, which came
In terrific gusts. As far as learned, no
body was killed or Injured. For one min
ute this afternoon the wind reached a
velocity of 65 miles an hour, and for the
five succeeding minutes It blew at the rate
of 52 miles, after which It moderated.
In the down-town district the wind car
ried away Immense signs, throwing them
into the streets and breaking plate-glass
windows In several of the largo stores.
Of the crowds on the streets a the time,
many had narrow escapes from death
and injury.
No Change in Planing: Mill Strike.
Sunday was a quiet day among the
planing mill strikers, and the situation
Is unchanged. The action of the engi
neers' union in calling their members out
of the mills in question has somewhat
strengthened the stand of the strikers,
but the employers show no signs of weak
ening. From present indications it will be some
time before the trouble Is adjusted.

SCROFULA.
To cure Scrofula
take
Scott's Emulsion.
Scrofula may be described as
" scattered consumption."
It is consumption of the
small glands under the skin,
and these break out into the
sores. Scott's Emulsion heals
these sores.
But there's more to the
story. The loss of flesh and
great weakness that comes
with Scrofula is a regular part
of the disease the same as in
consumption of the lungs.
For this as for the sores,
Scott's Emulsion is just the
remedy.
Flesh and strength are
gained by the use of Scott's
Emulsion quicker than in any
other way.
Scrofulous children improve
in every way on Scott's Emul
sion. Send far Free Saapla.
