N EW WH EAT MARKET
Australia Appears as Big
Buyer in Portland,
IN CONSEQUENCE OF DROUTH
JiortH Pacific Ports Also Secure All
of Australia' Former Trade With
South Africa HIjrh Price Paid
for Export.
The Blpment of a cargo of wheat from
Portland to Australia Is one of the possi
bilities In the grain trade of this city
trtthln the next few weeks. The deal has
not actually been completed, but buyers
in this field have been dickering with the
Antipodes, and it is practically certain
that one, and perhaps several cargoes will
So forward. This will be the first busl-
ness of this nature that has been worked
since 1B9G, when the steamship Aswanly
was sent to Sydney with a cargo of flour
from Portland, and It has been 10 years
since any wheat business has been worked
from Oregon for Australia. For years
Australia was quite a factor in supplying
the European market with wheat, but
the prolonged drouth in that country has
not only put it out of business as a ship
per, but is now in a fair way to get it
in line with the importing countries.
Australian buyers have already pur
chased one cargo of Pacific Coast wheat,
and it will go forward from San Francls
co on the British ship Trafalgar for Syd
ney. As Oregon and Washington ports
have outstripped the California ports in
the South African business, they will in
all probability take the lead in the wheat
trade with that country as .tlie direct re
SBult of the failure of the crops in Aus
tralia. Previous to these successive fail
ures, the Dark Continent secured all of
its supplies from Australia, that country
lying close enough to Africa to render
shipment much more advantageous than
it would be from this part of the wond.
"It is an 111 wind," etc., and. while the
'Australian farmers see starvation star
ing them in the face as the result of these
repeated crop failures, the farmers of
Oregon, Washington and Idaho are receiv
ing the highest prices for their wheat
iBlnce 1S98. when the Letter boom was on. I
That the Suth African and incidentally
-the Australian trade is largely responsible J
lor these prices is snown by the fact that
'the greater part of the wheat that has
;"been sold during the past week has been
at prices in excess of the export values.
Yesterday as high as C7t cents was bid
for "Walla Walla wheat, and 72 cents for
bluestem, and the best figure that could
be secured for the wheat for European
shipment, based on the lowest freight
rate obtainable, was 65 and 68 cents res
pectively. The exporters blame the mills,
and the millers blame the exporters for
the fancy figures that are being paid, and
both admit that there is nothing in the
United Kingdom business that warrants
them. Some of the Puget Sound mills
took on some good-sized flour orders for
the Orient as well as South. Africa, and
did not have all df the wheat that was
needed In sight, so they were forced to
pay high figures for it The African busi
ness, instead of showing a falling off, is
etill holding up to the proportions reached
earlier In the season, and, from present
indications, the shipments (flour included)
will reach nearly 5,000,000 bushels. The
shipments already sent forward since.
January have reached a total of 3,000,000
bushels and there are ships under charter
for South African loading at Portland
and Puget Sound ports with a capacity
of fully 1,000.000 bushels, so that it will be
comparatively easy to swell the shipments
to 5,000,000 bushels by the end of the year.
As the exportable surplus of wheat and
flour from Portland and Puget Sound for
the present season will be less than 30,
000,000 bushels, it is apparent that about
one-sixth of it is going out to South Af
rica, and shipments to Australia may
make a material increase in the amount
that will be diverted from European
ports.
The fancy figures that have been paid
for wheat within the past week foave had
the effect of checking the selling move
ment, the fact that local prices, are above
a. parity with the European market nqt
appealing to the farmers, who expect
wheat to go still higher. Their indiffer
ence, about selling has caused a very dull
market for freights aud. so far as known,
not a single ship- has been chartered to
load past the turn of the year. This is a
.remarkable .situation, when it is" consid
ered that in ordinary years it is the cus
tom to charter ships in October and No
vember to load as far ahead a3 March
-cnd April.
The South African business has aided in
causing heavier shipments than have ever
been known so early in -the season. Flour
included, the shipments from Portland
and Puget Sound for October for all ports
approximate 4,000,000 bushels, about evenly
divided between the two norts. with al-
pnost a certainty that the November shlp
'ments will be fully as heavy. Tonnacre
etocks in the two ports yesterday were
almost exactly the same. There were 21
grain vessels in each port, and the regis
tered tonnage of the Portland fleet was
j40,161 tons compared with 40,495 tons for
pthe fleet at the Puget Sound ports. All of
ne .Portland ships but two were under
charter, but there were four disengaged
,emps suuaoie tor grain on Puget Sound.
Ifio far as known, all of these ships have
Jbeen covered by early purchases of wheat,
put some of the Puget Sound vessels are
.receiving slow dispatch on account of
fscarclty of cars. There has been some
complaint on this score at Portland, but
Uhe O. R. & N. Company has pressed into
! service everything in the yards that can
.carry a load of grain, and is rushing the
l-wheat down to tidewater about as fast
as it can be placed aboard the ships in
J waiting for it.
In addition to the wheat secured for
Bhlpment from San Francisco to Australia,
and the reported engagements from this
port, there have been two or three ship
ments of Canadian wheat to Australia
by the steamers of the Canadian Pacific
line. There is not enough wheat In
Western Canada, however, to meet a de
mand of any consequence and, as it couM
not be shipped from Eastern Canada as
advantageously as from Oregon and
Washington, the ports of these two states
are in a better position than any others
to supply the demand from this new and
Unexpected quarter.
TO OREGON FOR TIMBER
Colorado and South-went 3Iut Come,
Says Collector Dnnne.
"In mf opinion the Denver market will
have to come to the Northwest for its
long timbers," said D. M. Dunne, Col
lector of Internal Revenue, yesterday af
ternoon. Colonel Dunne has just returned
from an official trip to New Mexico, and
during his visit he took the timber ques
tion into consideration.
"Leaving out Oregon and Idaho on the
Short Line and Montana on the Northern
Pacific, there is scarcely a stick of tlm-'
ber In-the different states that I passed
through. Colorado and New Mexico will
certainly be large purchasers In the fu
ture, and Texas Is able to supply only ties
for Denver. Large timbers will have to
come from the Northwest. William Len
nox, one of the owners of the Gold King
and other mines In Colorado, told me that
the state would have to get all its long
timbers from this section.
"But I am glad to be back in Portland
once again. During my trip I learned
that there was no place like Oregon, and
the only question that troubled my mind
was the lack of interest that people take
in inducing immigration. Here we have
a great country just as great an area
for cultivation as Washington affords.
Yet on every rain Washington had five
immigrants while we had only one.
"Of our climate the people can say
nothing, and during my trip I often felt
like coming back to Portland. I had a
feeling of homesickness when I dropped
down to El Paso and beheld the ffects
of the drouth. Fruit and vegetables were
withering under a tropical sun, and I
thought of Oregon where the sun-blight
is never known. People complained 'and I
advised them to come to our part of the
country, but I do not know if any of them
have started ,n our directldn."
Colonel Dunne said that from inquiries
which he had received he believes that
there will -be a great immigration to the
Northwest next year. Many people, he
says, will come from the Southwest, and
there will be thousands from the Middle
States.
GOOD WEATHER FOR DUCKS
Sport.smen Have First Brisk Sport of
Season Sandhill Cranes Killed.
The "chilly, foggy weather Sunday fore-
COLONEL GEORGE H. MENDELL.-
ENGINEER WHO BUILT COLUMBIA RIVER JETTIES IS DEAD.
4-
noon was good for ducksi and they kept
flying about most of the day, and" duck
hunters enjoyed the best day's sport of
the season. Good bags were made at most
of the preserves. Quit a number of
snipe were shot, and a lalr of yandhlll
cranes were killed by ono party on, Sau-
vle's Island. These birds used to bo quite
plentiful here, but have almost entlrely
disappeared. the pair mentioned being the
first killed in this section for five . or six
years. They came up on the boat from the
island yesterday, and a Chinaman who
saw the"m offered 55 for one of them, but
it was not for sale.
One old-time sportsman and one of the
hardest hitters and most rapid shooters
in this city, who went down to the island
Saturday night, so as to be there early
Sunday morning, played quite a trick on
himself, that evening. Just as It was get
ting dark a bunch of wild geese flew over
and he up with his gun, saying: "See me
knock a hole through the center of that
bunch." It was apparently Just possible
that he might wing one of the geese, but
fallowing his shot six came tumbling
down around him, one striking him on the
shoulder. He said he felt something like
a fellow who pulled a brick house down
upon himself.
RALLY AROUND NEWELL.
His FrieirdK Defend Him. From
Charge of Cruelty to Children.
The friends of Major Cicero Newell,
formerly of Portland, who, as superin
tendent of an industrial school in Seattle,
was severely criticized on the ground of
cruelty to children in his charge, have
rallied to his support and are now vigor
ously defending both his school and its
methods.
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer says edi-.
torially: "The managers of this institu
tion are among our most respected and
honored citizens. Their word. Is good,
their purpose is admirable, and their ex
planation has been "set before the people
inthese columns."
Rev. W. D. Slmonds, of the Unitarian
Church, in Seattle, took occasion in a ser
mon to say some good things about the
Industrial -school. "I have visited the in
dustrial school many times, and know
that the atmosphere of the school is
healthy and wholesome and kelpful. Here
40 children are at present better trained.
In greater decency and comfort than hun
dreds of children will ever know who live
In homes ruled by drunkenness and Ig
norance and extreme poverty. . . . The
superintendent and the school he has
established merit well of this community.
Let all good men and women rally to
their support."
QUIET FOR ROOSEVELT.
No Cabinet Meetings Will He Held
Until White House Is Completed.
WASHINGTON, Oct 20. While Presi
dent Roosevelt is progres3lng satisfac
torily toward complete recovery, he is
receiving few callers, except his Cabinet
advisers and those having important of
ficial business to transact. It Is probable
that no formal meeting of the Cabinet
will be held until the President shall
have returned to the remodeled White
House, which will probably be before the
middle of next month.
A Rumor Denied.
A report has been circulated and widely
copied by the American newspapers to
the effect that, the monks of La Grande
Chartreuse have sold to some company
the right to manufacture the celebrated
green and yellow cordial bearing their
name. We are informed by the American
agents. Batjer & Co., 45 Broadway, New
York City, that as a matter of fact the
Carthusian monks have made Chartreuse
for the past 300 years, they are making it
now. and will, in all probability, be en
gaged in Its manufacture SCO years hence.
V RECREATION.
If you with to enjoy a day of rest and
pleasure, take the O. R. & "N. train from
Union depot at 3 A. M. for a short trip
up the Columbia, returning, if desired by
boat from Cascade Lccks. Tickets and

JETTY BUILDER IS DEAD
COLONEL MENDELL, W.u6 IM
PROVED COLUMBIA RIVER.
Distinguished Engineer, "Whose
Name Is Associated "With Port
land and Its Harbor. '
Colonel George H. Mendell, who died
Sunday in San Francisco, was well known
In Portland, having had supervision of the
Improvement of the mouth of the Colum
bia River. He was born in Pennsylvania
in 1E3L appointed a cadet in the Military
Academy in 184S, and four years after leav
ing that institution he came out to the
Pacific Coast as a First Lieutenant of
Topographical Engineers, being stationed
at Vancouver . Barracks. October S, of
the next year, 1856, he married at Astoria
Miss Ellen, daughter of General John
Adair. Another daughter subsequently
married Colonel W. H. Jordan,, now re
tired, and living in Portland. On the day
of their marriage Lieutenant Mendell iind
his brideleft for the East, where the
young officer had been ordered for duty.
When the Civil War toroke out, Lieu
tenant Mendell found active duty at the
front. In September, 1861, he was made n.
Captain. In March. 1863. he was trans
ferred to the Corps of Engineers. He wa.,t
made a Major on June 30. 1S64, Lieutenant-Colonel
June 20, 1879, and Colonel Sep
tember 16, 1SS6, serving continuously in
the Engineer Corps. October 12, 1D5, be
ing then 64 years of age, he retired from
active service and spent the remainder of
his life in San Francisco, where he left a
widow and two sons.''
Major Mendell was brevetted Lieutenant
Colonel, United States Army, for gallant
and merlotorious services during the cam
paign before Richmond, and brevetted
Colonel for galiant and meritorious serv
ices during the war.
After lha .lntvi nf tYta rt'nr. frlrnl "Trn
j dell was stationed at New ifedford, Mass.,
where he was engaged in the construction
of harbor fortifications. In 1S63 he was or
dered to San Francisco to take a place
on the board of engineers for the Pacific
Coast, and after that time his service was
chiefly, upon this Coast. He had a promi
nent part in planning and building the ad
mirable system of defer.se- works about
San Franclco harbor. Under his direc
tion harbor improvements were made at
Port Harford, San Diego, Petaluma,
Stockton, Redwood City and Humboldt
Pay. on the California coast, and at Port
Orford and the mouth of the Columbia,
in Oregon. The last-named work was exe
cuted under his direction as supsrvlslng
engineer, to which position he was ap
pointed In 1892, with jurisdiction rrom
Mexico to British Columbia. The Colum-
j bla River jetty is regarded as a great
i credit to the professional skill of colonel
Mendell, ranking with Eads jetties at
the mouth of the Mississippi River.
ACCUSED OF SHOPLIFTING
Mnn and Woman Arrested. Latter
Member of Notorious Ganpr.
In arresting Frank Pollard and Anna
Pollard at Park and Washington streets
yesterday, for larceny, Detectives Day
and Welner believe that they have at
least one member of a notorious gang
of "sure thing" men and shoplifters, who
Infested Los Angeles, Cal., last March.
Anna Pollard is recognized as Mrs. Anna
Harris, who was arrested In Los Angeles
at that time.
Complaint had been made to the police
that a coat and vest had been stolen from
Prager & Sons' store, Morrison street, by
shoplifters, and when Detectives Day and
i Welner were placed on the case they se
cured Information which led them to be
lieve that the Pollards had the stolen
clothing. The couple were located in the
rooms they occupied on Washington
street, and the stolen clothing was also
In the room. The prisoners were con
veyed to the police station, where the
woman was recognized from a picture
found in the rogue's gallery, as Mrs. Har
ris, of Los Angeles, arrested there for
shoplifting. She denied it.
"Mrs. Harris belongs to a gang of con
fidence people wh'o were In Los Angeles
, last March." said Detective Day. "The
j other members of the gang were Thomas
Furey, alias L. J. Morrison alias E, J.
Lyons: Elmer Barnett, alias Charles Har
ris, alias Broncho Kid; M. A. Jewett, alias
Kid Miller, and Irs. Minnie A. Jewett.
Furey, Barnett and Jewett were arrested
as bunco and confidence men. and the
two women were arrested for shoplifting
stealing goods from stores. They were
all afterward allowed to go. In the early
part of the present month, when we found
goods left in care of a stcraj concern in
this city by shoplifters heldT"y the police
of Vancouver. B. C, we wrote to the
Chief of Police of Los Angeles, Cal., about
the case, and he replied in part as fol
lows: " 'Last March we had in jail here a
gang of very expert all-around 'grafters.'
Including two exceptionally expert shop
lifters. I inclose their pictures, as it is
not Improbable that they are the same
people now held In 'Vancouver. New
names come easy to them, and they are
apt to have a change In each city. Annie
Harris is the associate and alleged wife
of Elmer Barnett. and Mrs. M. A. Jew
ett is the alleged wife of M. A. Jewett.
All these -people have records In trie
"Eastern States. We recovered a large
amount of goods stolen from the retail
dry goods stores of this city In rooms
where the samo had been placed by these
two women, but the landlady of the
house, for reasons best known to herself,
failed' to Identify the women as the ones
who placed the goods in her house. As
the crowd occupied and slept in rooms in
other buildings, and .only used the rooms
where the goods, were stored as a store
room, we were unable to get sufficient
evidence to convict But the goods were
nearly all recovered and returned to their
original owners.' " .
NEW TOWN SPRINGS UP
Sawmill on Gresham Road Center of
Settlement of Boring;.
s '
GRESHAM. Or.. Oct. 20. A new town,
to be called Boring, has sprung up in' the
very center of a belt of heavy timber on
the line of the new railway running
through this place. It is located on Deep
Creek, about six miles southeast from
here, and is already a flourishing little
settlement: It is in Clackamas County,
about four miles along the Powell's Val
ley road, and about the same distance
on the Buoy road, southward from the
Junction of those two thoroughfares.
Two months ago the wilderness there
was unbroken, except by the wagon road
through it A first-class sawmill, capable
of cutting 50,000 feet of lumber a day. Is
now in operation, sawing lumber for the
buildings already going up. It belongs to
O. H. Palmer, whohas made heavy pur
chases of timber land In that neighbor
hood, and has enough in reserve to keep
it going for the next 10 years.
The track of the Oregon Water Power
& Railway Company will pass directly
through the place, and one of the electric
power .stations is now being constructed
there. It is the same plant that has been
In operation at Inman & Poulsen's mill,
and It will be entirely rebuilt and en
larged as a part of the new railway sys
tem. The new building will be 10S feet
long, and 42 feet wide. It will be built of
Iron, brick and wood. It will be on a
slight eminence, abqut 100 yards east of
the main track, from which a fewltch will
run. Much of the material 1st on the
ground, and wagon loads of machinery
are arriving every day. As much of the'
old building as can be used. Is being hauled
cut, even to the brick which encased the
boilcro and supported the" engines , and
dynamos. Gravel for the concrete work
hi being hauled from the gravel pl at the
end of the Case Line road, and the new
sawmill is preparing to cut the necessary
lumber.
The sawmill and power plant will prove
mutualiy helpful. The mill and lumber
yards will be lighted by electricity, while
the power plant will use sawdust and
slabwood for fuel. A "hog" to grind
slabwcod will be put In operation by the
railway company, and Mr. Palmer will
build a drykiln and planing mill as soon
as poi-slbe alter the first rfsh of building
Is over.
The new town can already boart of 15
houses and the mill has orders for lum
ber for three more. Some of them are
cheap affairs, but several are good. Mr.
Palmer's own residence, just finished, has
cost about ilCOO, and one to be built by
the railway company for the manager of
the electric plant will cost as much or
more.
The tbwnslte- is owned by C. R. Root
and O. H. Palmer and has been platted.
The town will be built with considerable
regularity. It has been planned to erect
a union church, for which a block of land
has been donated. Another block has
been given for a schoolhouse and one will
be erected next year. Mr. Root will be
gin work upon a store building, which he
will stock, and Mr. Palmer will open a
blacksmith shop. Oth.er. enterprises are
being talked of.
Boring will be one of the principal sta
tions of the O. W. P. & R. Co., and the
nearest to Orient and Pleasant Home. It
will not have a postofnee', as It will bs
.-crved by rural free delivery from Gresh
am as soon as the-new routes are estab
lished from this place. At present the
people get their mall from Powell Valley.
By next -Spring the town will be settled
down and well supplied with everything,
but just now It reminds one of an early
mining camp.
SELLWOOD FREE FERRY.
Committee Appointed by President
of Local nonrd of Trade.
D. M. Donaugh, president of the Sell
wood Board of Trade, yesterday appointed
the committee authorized at the lasv
meeting of the board to take up the mat
ter of establishing a free ferry across the
Willamette River at Sellwood. The com
mittee Is as folio ws: J. M. NIckum. A.
N. Wills, Professor Edward Curtis. E. B.
Madden and W. E. Pettinger. A stronger
committee could not have been selected
for this important movement.
Sellwood and Mllwaukie were once
provided with ferries several years ago,
and although they were not free, they
were of great advantage. Their discon
tinuance was severely felt There has
been considerable agitation for the past
four years of this free ferry movement,
and the Legislative delegation mostly con
ceded that Sellwood was entitled to one,
but other matters prevented any definite
action being taken. The people of Sell
wood and those living opposite on the
West Side of the Willamette River think
that now Is the time to strike for a free
ferry, similar to the one provided for Al
blna. "We shall not ask for the free ferry
simply because we want it," said Mr.
Donaugh, "but for the reason that it
will largely benefit a great section of
country On the East Side is Sellwood
with a population of nearly 1000. Besides,
nearly all of Clackamas County Is tribu
tary to Portland. Farmers must come to

HORSE CANNERY BURNED.
Whole Plant Destroyed Under Cir
cumstances Which Arc Suspicions.
The horse canntry at Llnnton, which
has been recently bought by S. Kins
man and converted into a fruit eannery,
was burned to the ground Saturday night.
The plant alone was valued at $15,000, and
there were fruit and pickled horse meat
on hand valued -at $10,003, making the
total loss about $25,000, with 550C0 insur
ance. There seems, to be no way to account
for the fire other than that it' was incen
diary. There was a dance at the Arm
ory, a short distance from the cannery.
Saturday night, and about 10 o'clock two
of the young men went to Mr. Kinsman's
house to get some articles that were
wanted at the dance. At that time they
noticed that, the dog was on the porch.
Sunday, among the remains of the fire the
charred body of the dog was found. It Is
thought that the dog hear'i someone In
the building and tried to drive Kim cut,
and was either killed or so blinded by the
smoke that he could not find his way out.
Mr. Kinsman was the sole owner of the
plant and the loss will be hard for him.
He will not try to rebuild this year, but
expects to again put his plant In opera
tion next year.

Fine pianos in carload lots. Never in the history of
our house have we received so many line pianos, and
each day adds to our present large stock. We were
lucky In placing our orders lor Fall shipments early
in the season, before- the advance in price took place,
as we are now prepared to furnish our customers for
some time to come, at the usual low prices we have
heretofore given. We alwavs k.ep an eve open for our
trade, and with our facilities for handling pianos In
large quantities, we naturally can offer greater In
ducements than those who have to get their goods on
consignment and have to send all their contracts back
to the manufacturers. Wc own all our gcods, and
carry all our contracts, thus securing safety in case
of sickness or out of cmpiovment.
