WHEAT FLEET IS COMING
MA1CY XEW-SEASOX SHIPS ARE
HEADING FOR PORTLAND.
Old-Timers Are Coming Back Agaia
Large Fleet of Steam Coasters
In Portland Trade.
The advance guard of the 1802-03 grain
fleet from Portland is now -wringing its
way In this direction, and Ballings from
some quarter or other are of almost dally
occurrence. Among the fleet are the usual
number of old-timers which have been
coming here at intervals since they were
built. The British ship Forrest Hall,
which belongs to this class, sailed from
Hong Itong for this port yesterday, and
with a fair passage across the Pacific will
reach Portland about the middle of Au
gust. She has carried half a dozen wheat
cargoes out of Portland, and lias & rec
ord for very good passages. Another well
known old-timer in this port, the German
bark Najade, sailed last Saturday from
Yokohama- for Royal Roads for orders.
It Is not known whether Or not she has
-been chartered, and if she has not she
will probably be sent to Portland, as there
is more wheat on spot here than there Is
at Tacoma. x
The Najade has made a pretty good
record within the past three years, fihe
was dispatched from Portland in Febru
ary. 1899, by J R. Cameron, again in
April, ISOft by Glrvln & Eyre, and la
Slay, 1901, by Balfour, Guthrie & Co. On
aoh of these trips after leaving Portland
ehe went to Europe With wheat, thence
across the Atlantic in ballast, where she
loaded oil for the Orient, and after dis
charging this cargo coming across the Pa
cific 1c ballast, sailing over 33,000 miles
oh the round trip. In addition to a num
ber of August and September ships due at
Portland, there are at least four vessels
that may be expected at any time. They
are the Dlmsdale, Which sailed from New
castle Hay 2; the Eskasoni from Tdko
fcama and the Nlobe, from, Nagasaki
June 7, and the Sierra Estrdla, with
cargo from Liverpool.
RETURJf OF THE THETIS.
Patter Did Not Find XOst Ships, and
Centennial Story MVtta n. Fftlce.
PORT TOWNSEND, Wash., July 3.
The steamer Senator has arrived from
Koine. The Senator brought no passen
gers on the trip down, it being known
that the At earner woUld be quarantined on
arrival here. The Senator left Nome June
24. Captain Patterson reports that the
revenue cutter Thetis returned to Nome
June 23, after an unsuccessful cruise in
search of the missing Jeanle and Portland.
Captain Healey reported that he-had been,
75 miles into the Arctic Ocean, and had
found absolutely no trace of the overdue
steamers. He did not have much hope
that the vessels would reach Nome, even
if they were still afloat. The Thetis was
filling her 'bunkers from the coal-laden
schooner American when the Senator left,
and expected to leave on June 24 to renew
the search for the steamers.
Captain Patterson emphatically denies
the report brought down by the steamer
Centennial to the effect that the whaler
Belvedere had arrived at Nome June 20
and reported the Jeanie and Portland in
the ICe June 17, fiO miles north of Cape
Prince of "Wales, with the Thetis standing
by. Patterson said he had heard this ru
mor at Nome, but there was nothing in
it. That the Belvedere had not arrived
at N6me and that the arrival of the The
tis had disproved the truth of the Belve
dere report. Captain Patterson claims that
the pnly report of the missing vessels that
can be considered reliable Is the state
ment of the natives of the Dlomedes, who
say that they saw two passenger steam
ers, one with two masts and the other
with .three, drifting helplessly in the ice
when last 6een the steamers -were drift
ing northward through Behrlng Btrajts.
It is quite probable that the last seen of
the Portland was when she was sighted
by the Nome City ott Cape Prince of
"Wales. t The last authentic report from
the Jeanle is that she was sighted by
a steam schooner. Elk No. 1, which was
'the first vessel to arrive at Nome this sea
son. The Elk saw the Jeanie near Nuni
vak Island. It la doubtful If any further
news from Nome will be received before
the return of the steamer Indiana.
NEW STEAM COASTERS.
Lars;e Fleet of New Craft Plyins Out
of Portland for Coast Ports.
The new steam schooner Santa Bar
bara arrived in yesterday with general
cargo from San Francisco, and will load
"back for the Bay City with lumber. She
Is somewhat larger than most of the
steam schooners that are plying In this
trade, and will carry over ,00.000 feet
of lumber. The Santa Barbara'belongs to
u type of coasters which are becoming
quite numerous on the Pacific, and the
fact that all of them are kept moving
would Indicate that they were profitable
investments. An idea of the extent of
the business handled by the steam coast
ers Is shown In their movements In and
out of Portland within the past CO days.
In that period 17 of these craft have load
ed and departed from Portland with car--gocs
of lumber and miscellaneous produce.
In that time some of the vessels nave
made a number of trips, but others have
made but one.
The Gray Steamship Company has main
tained a regular service between Portland
and the coast ports -with the steamship
Alliance, and has also had the Fulton on
the route part of the time. The names of
the steam coasters visiting the port since
May 1 are as follows: Aberdeen, Lakme.
Iao.ua, Alliance. Despatch, Fulton, Homer,
Sequoia and Prentiss. The Lakme is run
ning under a time charter, carrying lum
ber to California ports, and the others go
wherever business offers.
MADE A FLYING TRIP.
Steamship Indrapura Rnns From
Portland to Astoria In Fast Time.
The Portland & Asiatic liner Indrapura
called from Astoria yesterday morning,
after a day's delay at that port. The In
drapura made the run from Portland to
Astoria in 6 hours and -15 minutes, which
is the best record mode by any of the
big liners. While the steamer was onlv
drawing about 20 feet of water, she is a
mammoth craft, over 400 feet long and
about 50 feet beam, and as there are
many short turns in the river where it
was necessary to slow down, her time
would indicate that she covered some of
the best portions of the river at the rate
of at leasl 1C miles per hour. The best
time ever made by a steamer of any
where near her size was that of the
Hyson, -which went through drawing 23
feet of water and carrying G000 tons of
freight. The Hyson covered the distance
in 6 hours and SO minutes, but she was a
slightly smaller craft than the Indrapura.
and had much more powerful machinery.
Pilot Archie Pease took the Hyson down
on her record trip, and also the Indra
pura. SHIPBUILDING RECORD.
Output for Year Greatly Reduced by
Strikes and Other Delays.
WASHINGTON, July 3. During the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1902, the Bureau
of Navigation reports that 1577 vessels, of
473.SS1 gross tons, were bulit In the United
,States. as against 1079, of 4S9.656 tons, for
'the previous fiscal year. The decrease
compared with last year is in sailing Vts
sells and canal-boats, barges, etc New
steel steamers aggregate 259.199 tons, com
pared with 235.265 tons last year. Included
In the total new tonnage arc 94 vewels,
each of over 1000 tons, aggregating 215.052
tons, or two-thirds of the output. Of this
large construction. 41 steel steamers, -of
159,623 tons, were built on the Great Lakes.
The output of completed sea steamers
on the seaboard has been much below the
Indications of last July. Thn launching
of nearly every large steamer has been
delayed from three to eight months, and
some are still on the ways which by this
time were to have been in operation. The
delay was particularly due to the steel
strike last Summer and to the great de
mand for structural steel in all directions,
to lower .ocean freights and the lack of
new shipbuilding orders, which has left
"builders and owners without motive for
haste. Last July 225,000 of ocean steel
steamers were under construction or un
der contract, while at present only about
160,000 tons are under construction and no
large seaboard contracts are reported.
MR. FIRRIE'S OPINION.
He Does Not Believe the Sal Cam
bine Is a. Menace to England.
LONDON, July S. The committee of the
House of Commons appointed to Inquire
into the question of subsidies today heard
"William J. Pirrie, chairman of the Har
land & Wolff Shipbuilding Company
This witness, who figured bo prominently
in the recent J. Plerpont Morgan ship
combination, expressed the opinion, that
subsidies wero given merely as a bounty,
and served to encourage inefficiency, and
that even where they could be legitimately
bestowed the tendency of subsidies would
be to foster individual as against general
interests. Mf. Pirrie regarded foreign
subsidies as a blessing lrt disguise, as
they stimulated British shipowners to
keep more abreast of the times.
Replying to question of the chairman,
Mr. pirrie sAld the Morgan combine,
which he proceeded to call a "community
of Interests," was established furely for
commercial purposes, and on entirely busi
ness principles. Ho Was convinced that
a dangerous international situation was
rapidly Approaching at the time the deal
was effected, but by the creation of thl
community of Interests tho future of the
British shipping, as well as-of British
shipbuilding! was assured. In short, Mr.
Pirrie considered the deal to be in every
way satisfactory to. the British. Giving
subsidies would only invite retaliation in
the most important .markets 61 the world.
The extent of state assistance to German
shipping was greatly exaggerated.
Mr. Pirrie also said that the feeling,
against the combination Was due to mis
apprehension. All they hhd been doing
was to act on the advice of the Prince Of
Wales when he said "England must wake
up." Mr. Pirrie thought that the best way
for the Government to help British ship
ping was to deepen the approaches to and
otherwise Improve the chief ports.
Mr. Pirrie added that British participa
tion In the future In the world's carrying
trade would depend less on subsidies than
on Imported business methods. Ho did
not think it possible that subsidies would
prevent the transfer of such ships as those
of the White Star line to Americans.
Will Encourage Subsidies.
NEW YORK, July 1 There Is increas
ing probability that the Imperial confer
ence will take advisory action respecting
a steamship subsidy, cables the London
correspondent of the Tribune. The ques
tion would be Tfiadlly settled If the Im
perial Government would meet Australia,
New Zealand and Canada half way In the
payment of subsidies. A Colonial official,
who Is well Informed oil this subject,
eays a combination could be formed in
24 hours if the home Government would
agree to divide expenses with the colonies.
Pressure on the cohferenco may be exert
ed In favor of more liberal grants from
the British Treasury. This result is more
probable than the adoption of perferentlal
customs. The steamship subsidy plan
favored by the conference Is not likely
to Include any line like the Cunard, run
ning between British and American ports.
Lake Liner Ashore
PORT ARTHUR, Dnt, July S. The pas
senger steamer Iroquois, reported as Over
due from Houghton, is Ashore on Victoria
Island, 17 miles sotfth of Port Arthur.
The Iroquois was coming In from Duluth
yesterday, and went on the rocks in a
fog while trylqg to find, the Victoria,
passage. It is not Jwown -how badly .she
has been damaged. The Iroquois is a new
steel .steam vessel, valued -at (200,000, and
belongs to Singer's White Line.

TRUSTS AND COMPETITION
Thoughtful and Urgent Array of
Their WcnltncascE.
New York Journal of Commerce.
One thing connected with the great
consolidations of Industrial capital merits
consideration. Prom our carefully - pre
pared compilations, it appears that, from
18S0 to lfiOL both years inclusive, tho new
capltalltatlons of consolidated corpora
tions aggregated $6,474,000,000 of which
$L89S,0G6,O0Q consisted of preferred stock,
13,382,000,000 of common- stock and $1,014,
000,000 of bonds. Prom this total of $6,474,.
000.000 of capltallzatl6n probably not any
less than 2,000.000,000 should be de
ducted for spurious common stock; which1
would glvo about 54,500.000,000 as the true
capitalization (inclusive of bonds) of all
the consolidations effected within the
last 12 years.
It Is a significant fact that. In the pro
cess of amalgamating these pre-oxistcnt
corporations, the amount of bona-fldel
new capital mrown mio me mergemenis
does not exceed $300,000,000. From this it
follows that th9 process of consolidating
our Industrial units has not been In any
appreciable degree responsive to tho
natural expanding 'demand tor industrial
capital; tho limit of such accretions
having been only 6.6 per cent, or at the
rate of of 1 per cent per year. Con
solidation, therefore, notwithstanding Its
imposing exhibitions of mammoth estaD
Ushments, has made only the most trifling
addition to our productive resource. Its
display of power In the mass may have
served the purpose of an alluring adver
tisement, but that efrectieness has been
mainly among the uninitiated. Instead,
therefore, of interpreting the new move
ment as representing a new method of
enlarging our productive capacity. It Is
rather to be regarded as an expedient
for shielding pre-exlstent capital against
the natural Workings of competition.
"Whether, within this narrow and re
strictive sphere, the trust Is destined t6
prove a success, remains to be demon
strated by a process of tests which arc as
yet only in their beginnings and for the
results of which wo must patiently wait.
Our Teal Industrial expansion within
the past decade must be found under the
aegis of normal methods rather than In
connection with mammoth organizations.
imposing only for their magnitude, but
deficient In their adaptations to bring out
the best efforts of all classes of con
tributors to the public welfare. The fol
lowing compilation from our own records
shows the creation of new companies
with a capital of 51,000.000 and upward
in the four States of New York, New
Jersey, Delaware and Maine during the
year 1501:

During the first five months of the cur
rent year the new companies organized
in the same four states, possessing $1,000,
000 capital and over, exhibit a total
capitalization of $1.058,000.000. ' Thus we
have within the last 17 months an nd
dltlon of $L969JG50',000 to the industrial
capital of four states. How much should
be added to this total fdr the new crea
tions in all the other state and for those
In .all- the states with capitals below
$1,000,000 It Is Impossible satisfactorily to
estimate, in the abeense of trustworthj'
data. However, when it is remembered
that these figures Include only one of the
New England States, none of the West
ern. Southern or Pacific States, and also
cxcludo Pennsylvania, It appears wholly
safe to conclude that our figures cannot
cover one-half of the Industrial creation
Of tho whole country within the laEt
17 months. Therefore, whll9t refraining
from definite -estimates, it does not seem
unreasonable to suppose that, including
large and small corporations, the addi
tions to the National Industrial capital
(exclusive -of those for transportation ap
pliances) mutt have Increased approxi
mately $5,600,000,000 since -the end of the
year 100.
This surprising development of Independ
ent corporate .enterprises affords much
food for reflection tp those who passively
'tolerate or enthusiastically support the
trusts. As above shown, it has taken 12
years to" rehabilitate Industrial capital
which may perhaps bo fairly valued at
$i,DCO,(WX00O, with a view, to shielding In
dustry from the operation of the natural
law of competition, whilst the reconstruct
ST. PETER'S DOME
tioris have made but insignificant addi
tions to the original cipitals of the
blended corporations. "Within one-eighth
of the same period, the creations of In
dependent Industrial capital have amount
ed to approximately $5,000,000,000. Reflect
upon the significance of this comparison
and see what it teaches. 1. That impos
ing as the expansion of the trusts may
seem, that of the independent industries
ia immeasurably greater. 2. That our
minor millionaires and our substantial
men of business have reached the conclu
sion that conservatively financed and
well-managed corporations, with moder
ate capitals, have nothing to fear from
the competition and the supposed super
ior advantages of the trusts. 3. That the
surprising magnitude of the new inde
pendent corporations evidences a very
emphatic and general conviction on this
polnt. 4. That the Independent Industries
are gaining so rapidly on tho trust forces
that the hopes of the monopolist organ
izations seem, to be already foredoomed.
5. That the process of consolidating capi
tals has released large numbers of well
trained principals of successful corpora
tions, who are now employing their means
and experience in the ranks- of competl-
tlon; the efforts to create monopolies thus
proving self-defeating. 6. The foregoing
consrucfatlons may be regarded as large
ly accounting for such tacts as the fol
lowing: That tho new independent con
cerns are so far generally doing well and
finding no difficulty In competing with the
trusts: that a noteworthy proportion of
the monopoly claimed by certain trusts
m their respective trades has been re-
duced; for instance, United States Steel Industrial Market," "Equal Suffrage,"

it may be noted that, notwithstanding
tho extraordinary prosperity of trade, not
a few of the trusts are falling far behind
their early promises as to net earnings;
expectations as to economies arc falling
more or less to materialize; and In sev
eral "notable cases the consolidated con
cerns have been disbanded, while others
appear destined either to early follow
suit or to be reorganized on a more con

Senor Buencamlnor who was Secretary
of State tmder Agulnaldo, and who Is
now in this country as the official repre
sentative of the Federal party of the
Filipino people, says of SIrto Lopez,
the beloved of the "antls":
Slxto Lopez Is a rad instrument of the Antl
Iraperlilin League of Boston, and Is in nowise
a representative of the Filipino people, nor has
he eor been. Ho is an Ignoramus who cannot
write either Spanish or Tagalo?. Whatever ap
pears over his name Is written by some one
else, and not by him. He could not give, a
definition of liberty If ho tried. I will make
these accusations anywhere, and I challenge
him to meet me In public debate on the Philip-
pine question. He has not been In the Pnlllp
pines for 12 year?. Is unknown to Agulnaldo
and has no standing- In Manila.
There is a chance to get full informa
tion about the islands. Let a meeting
bo called In Faneull Hall. Let Atkin
son or Wlnslow preside artd let Senor
Buencamlno and Slxto Lopez meet In
Joint debate. There is a strcng prima
facie evidence; that the "antls" have
written all the letters that Slxto Lopez
has put forth, but this Is no novelty.
They hftve done the same sort of work
for Agulnaldo and other insurgent
leaders in the Philippines. That they
should hire Lopez to attack thgir own
government In thte country is surely
no worse than for them to give aid
and encouragement to. Lopez's associ
ates In the Philippines who are assassin
ating American soldiers.

PASSENGER SCHEDULE OX
NORTHERS PACIFIC.
Gives Ttvo Dally Trains to Gray's
Harbor and Accommodates Travel
Between Portland and 'Seattle.
Assistant General Passenger Agent
Charlton, of the Northern Pacific, says
the readjustment of the passenger train
schedule will result In giving Portland the
service that its commercial interests have
long desired. It will give two trains a
day between Portland and Gray's Harbor
points, and the night train from Portland
to Seattle will give better service to the
traveling public because passengers will
not need to be routed out of their berths
at early hours In the morning at the PU
get Sound cities in order to let the train
pass on to the East That is, the train
will be run without regard for terminal
connections. The other local train from
Portland will make direct connection at
Tacoma with tho through train for St.
Paul, passengers merely stepping from the
Portland train to the fresh train ready to
pull out for the East.
The train to leave Portland at 7:25 A. M.
will connect at Chehalis with the train
frtr Konth nd At Gate, with the train
for Gray's Harbor points, pass through J
Olympia and reach Tacoma. to make di
rect connection with the Overland Ex
press for St. Paul at 3 P. M., thence pass
ing on to Seattle, where it Is due to ar
rive at 2.C6 P. M. Returning, it will leave
Seattle at 10 A. M., reach Tacoma for con
nection with the Overland Express from
St. Paul, at 11:30, pass by way of Olympia
and Gate and Chehalis Junctions and
reach Portland at 6:45 P. M.
The train to leave Portland at 11:10 A.
M. to tho Burlington train for Denver,
Missouri River points and St. Louis. It
will run by way of Seattle, Auburn and
the Palmer cut-off. "Westward-bound It
will reach Portland at 11:10 P. M., having
made connection at Centralla for dray's
Harbor points.
At 3:C0 P. M. tho North Coast Limited
will leave Portland, connecting at Cen
tralla for Gray's Harbor points, and run
ning East by way of Seattle, Auburn and
the Palmer cut-off.
The new local train will leave Portland
nt 11:45 P. M., and arrive in Seattle at 7:15
the next morning, and returning, It will
leave Seattle at 7:30 A. M. and reach Port
land at 3:05 P. M.
It Is to be noted that the new schedule
passes tho local trains through Tacoma
to- Seattle, and that two of the thrdugh
trains will run by way of Seattle. But
one train, the Overland Express, will
make Its terminus In Tacoma. For ell
other trains. Portland and Seattle are the
terminal points. The Overland Express
will continue to run over the old line by
way of Buckley, and it will make connec
tion, at Pasco for "Walla "Walla, Pendleton,
Dayton and, other points south of Snake
River.
It was definitely announced yesterday
that thia schedule would go into effect
next Sunday. July 6. The times of arrival
and departure of trains at Portland under
the new schedule will be much better dis
tributed than under the arrangement now
in effect. The equipment Of the trains
will be maintained in all respects up to
the present standard.

"Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Their
Resources" is the title Of a new pam
phlet Juat gotten out by General Passen
ger Agent Craig, of the O. R. & N. Co.,
and It goes directly about the business of
telling what the title Indicates. All the
features of these three states are set forth
their geography, climate, productions
and people in a style to draw attention
and give a vast amount of valuable infor
mation. A great many new halftone Il
lustrations adorn the pages and convince
the reader of tho truth of the statemdnt
made in the letter text. The book is not
content t6 deal in glittering generalities.
After telling what Is done In the various
industries, a number of specific instances
are cited in proof of the story told, and
In such -way that the reader can easily
Investigate the matter for himself. There
are several pages of these citations In the
book, from which this specimen para
graph Is taken:
Last ear C R. Kreger, near St. John,
threshed G500 bushels of red Russian wheat
from 100 acres, or 05 bushels to tho acre, and
J. Adklns. on SO acres, owned by A. Coelidge.
sacked 70 bushel to the 4re Pat O'Neill sot
11 0 bushels of barley from 10 acres, or 118
bushels to the acre. W. It. Reeder, near
Athena, in Umatilla County, harvested 002O
bushels of wheat from 100 acres, an average of
02 bmhels to the acre. Anson Loenls. On Wil

him a net profit of $3545 $8, or $20 88 an acre
moro than his land would have brought at
forced sale, and probably more than he would
hae asked for it at private sale.
All parts of the country served by the
O. R. & N. lines are treated in similar
fashion, by no means excluding the Wil
lamette Valley. All Industries are pre
sented all branches of agriculture, lum
bering, mining, manufacturing and even
the transportation business. The numer
ous well-selected Illustrations add very
materially to the Interest of the pages.
Among them are half a dozen scenes in
Portland harbor, and half a dozen of the
large public and private schools of this
