1 THE MORNING OBEGONIAN, TtJESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1902. Fast-Growing Trade of Oriental Steamers. THAY CANT GARRY IT ALL Overflow From Portland Goes to Puget Sotfnd. MORE STEAMERS NEEDED Jill Estimates of Eiports to Orient Are Surpassed liy Reality Enor mous CarRocx 'of Flour Space All Engaged Far Aliend. . "When the Portland & Asiatic Steamnhlp Company placed the SOOO-ton steamships Indrapura, Indrarelli and Indrasamha on the route from Portland to the Orient, fears -were expressed that the traffic -would be insufficient to provide them with full cargoes. The line has now been In operation but little more than a year, and the business has increased to such on extent that even these big steamers are unable to handle the freight that is offering. Last month over 4000 tons of Oriental freight -were shipped from Port land to Puget Sound for trans-shipment because, the Portland liners could not handle It, and this month the amount Bent to the Orient from Portland and Portland territory will exceed 7000 tons. The oteamshlp Indravelll is due from the Orient in about 10 days, and will find a cargo awaiting her that will test her capacity to the limit. The 1 Indrapura. "which follows her, also has a full cargo, and the offerings for January shipment "Sre very heavy. The Oriental business for the season to date Js by far the largest on record, and promises to hold up for many montfio to come. "Yhlle the Portland line has more business ;han It can handle with its reg-. ular linerV, the Puget Sound lines are fully as crowded; In fact, a little more crowded, as they are obliged to take the overflow frcrrirAhe Portland .'line. The steamer Tremont." operating in connec tion with the Northern Pacific Railway between Tacoma and the Orient, sailed last week with the largest cargo ever carried out of a Pacific Coast port. She had aboard 13.670 tonis-jaf freight. She was followed by the steamer Hyades, in the eame line, and on Friday of this week the steamship Hyson v.'IIl full with 6000 tons of Oriental freight la addition to a lot of wheat and salmon for- Europe. Following the Hyson, the same line will dispatch the steamer Victoria" Novem ber 20. For the month of December the 'North cm Pacific has engagemente for the Ori ent to fill six steamers, which will sail as follows: Pleiades, December 1; Yang tse and Olympia. December S; Dukeof Fife, December 14; Shawmut, December 20; and Tacoma. December 25. All of the space on these steamers has been en gaged, and It is expected that one and perhaps two extra boats will bo, put on the run to take care of the freight still offering. Past the' turn of the year there are three steamers already scheduled for January from Tacoma and two othrs ex pected. From Seattle, the Great North ern is dispatching a steamer about evcry two weeks and, like the rest of the steam ers bound for the Orient, they are full to the hatches. The Canadian Pacific also has a regular steamer every three weeks, and a couple of freight vessels making trips as rapidly as possible between times. Flour forms the principal Item on most of the steamers, and some enormoqs car goes have been taken o.ut within the past few weeks. The Tremont and Hyades from Tacoma carried 100,000 barrels, and the Indrasamha, from Portland, had nearly o3,000 barrels. Next to flour cot ton and lumber are the most important factors in making up these big cargoes. The flour shipments for the season to date are nearly 200,000 barrels ahead of those for a similar period last year, and the engagements for shipment In November, December and January are far ahead of those of a year ago. The China Mutual steamers, included In the list above given, are the Hyson and the Tangtse. each ot which will take out about TiOOO ions of wheat for Europe and will fill out with Oriental cargoes. On discharging In the Orient they reload with merchandise for Europe. There 'was a report that this round-the-world service would be discontinued, but recently the steamers have been carrying such full cargoes that the owners will probably keep them on the. route. The NIngchow. just out of the yards, and the largest steamer owned by the China Mutual people, has just sailed for Tacoma, and when loaded to her capacity will carry as much as the Tre mont and Shawmut, which are being op erated between Puget Sound and the Ori ent only. There is so much freight offering from Portland that one or two extra steam ers will probably be placed on the route to help take care of the business that Is offering, and which the merchants do not care to divert to the Puget Sound ports. Inward cargoes are more difficult to se cure, and very few of the Puget Sound "steamers bring anything like full cargoes, although the Portland steamers' fare slightly better, this beln a much greater distributing point for Oriental merchan dise than any of the Puget Sound ports. The Indravelli, of the Portland & Asi atic Line, has about 5000 tons of inward cargo and Is also bringing about 100 Chi nese passengers. JOKE IS ON THE JOKERS. Intent on Persecuting Xcwly "Wed ded, Their Boomerang: Hits Them. As the Astoria train pulled into Rainier Sunday night, a newly wedded couple were assisted on board by their admir ing' friends, who followed them and showered rice upon them most generous ly. The train usually stops at the switch a few hundred yards this side of Rainler for the down train to pass, and the tor mentors of the happy pair told them that they would accompany them to Portland, planning, of course, to alight at the pars ing track- The down train was late that night, however, and the conductor of the up train was ordered to pass at Goble, several miles away from ; Rainier, Con sequently the Astoria train did not halt at the switch, and the Jokers gave a start of surprise as they saw the switch lights fly past. The next stop was Goble, and there was nothing to do but to pay their fares to that point and then return on the down train. The dozen unhappy jest ers found just enough money ' In the crowd to pay their way. but the joke of the ocacslon had been left at Rainier, and It was a mighty sorry crowd that ' returned. ROWING CLUB ELECTION. Portland Oarsmen Preparing for Xer Clribhoase. At the annual meeting of the Portland Rowing Club, held at the boathouse last night, R. C. Hart, "V. A. Robb. R. A. Lamberson, R. L. Gllsan. W. L. Brewster, S. M. Luders and Le Conle Stiles were elected directors of the club to conduct the affairs for the ensuing year. Reports of the various officers were read - and adopted, all of which testified to the-fact that the organization is now in a more j prosperous condition than ever before. The meeting- was held In .the new soclal rcom of the club, on the north side of the second floor of the boathouse. This room, which has been fitted up within the past few weeks. Is tastefully decorated in a black and red" color scheme. Along the walls are hung pictures marking historical points of Interest In the career of' the or ganization, and an abundance of easy chairs Is provided for the members. 'JLhe room has been opened with the idea of placing a convenient and attractive gath ering place at the disposal of the members during the Winter months, a feature that has heretofore been lacking among the club's attractions. President R. C. Hart occupied the chair and contributed greatly to the pleasure of various members present. The report of Treasurer Rodney L. Gllsan was read and adopted, as follows: Receipts. Ealance from former treasurer S 194 04 Received from secretary 2S57 70 Total 052 74 Distinrscmcnts.

M. Luders reported that he had collected and turned over $2557 70 to the treasurer, $300 of which was Initia tion if s from new members. Forty-nine new members were taken In '.during the last year, and about 30 reslsned, died or were expelled, making the total member ship at the time of report 175. President Hart read his report, dealing particularly with the prosperous condition of the club. Over $4000 was reported as raised for the new site, south of Inman & Poulsen's mill, and there yet remained to' be secured about $1000. The amateur standing of the club was without taint, and the club spirit was remarkably strong for an organization that boasted so few membera The officers of the past year, particularly the secretary and treasurer, were commended for efficient and pains taking work. Mr. Mart also approved of the plan for a ladles' annex, and hoped that It could be Instituted during the com ing year. The report as read was ap proved of by" all present, and ordered placpcl on file. Captain Percy Stowell reported fully on tne number and condition of all the shells and pleasure-boats that belong to the club, and made some recommendations concerning purchases tor the coming year. The next matter was the election of the board of directors. It was moved that, as the constitution ordered that the vote be cast according to shares of stock, and as many members did not own stock, all .those nresent be allowed to participate in he selection of the directors. A number of members were named for the seven directors, several of whom declined to allow their names to appear on the list of candidates. As finally put before the club, the list stood: R. C. Hart, P. E. Stowell, W. A. Robb, R. A. Lamberson, R. L. Gllsan. Ralph Wilbur. W. L. Brew ster. S. M. Ludens, R. D. Ball. Le Conie Stiles and James Mackle.' Forty-three ballots were cast, and the following were elected: Messrs. Hart, Robb, Lamberson, "Gllsan. Bre.vster, Luders and Stiles. This board will meet in the near future and select the officers for the ensuing year. After the president had impressed on the members the necessity of subscribing Im mediately for shares of stock for the new site, the meeting adjourned. TWENTY-SEVEN MORE YES TERDAY.

That the woolen mills of Oregon are fast building up a large manufacturing industry and are also being well patron ized is shown by the lare number of people trading at the "store of the Browns ville Woolen Mills on Washington street, near Second.

QUORUM OF BOAREK LACKING Would-Be Dentists and Patients All Go Array Dlsaxpolnted Governor Gcer's , Delay In Making Ap pointment Is Main Cause. A scene, of disappointment, indignation and surprise, spiced with sighs of relief and some rather laughable "circumstances, was presented at the North Pacific Dental College yesterday afternoon. It had been advertised that the State Board of Dental Examiners would meet and give the would-be dentists of the state a chance to become licensed practitioners by pass ing their examinations. The' plan was Disappointed Applicants. to supplement the questions on' theory with a test of their actual ability as work men, and to this end It was advertised that patients appearing at the college at this time would have their teeth" treated free of charge. Dr. Logan, of Astoria, on account of a recent death In his family, was unable to attend. Dr. Reavls, who Is sick In the East, was absent, and the Governor had failed to appoint a successor for Dr. Wright, of McMinnville, whose term has expired. There are but five ex aminers, and three must be present before any business can be transacted, so all of the aspirants for honors, treatment, li censes and otherwise were doomed to dis appointment, and there were as many ways of receiving the news as there were applicants. The tooth artists had ground up on their theory until they felt that they were walking encyclopedias of informa tion, and would hardly greet a friend on the street lest they might fbrget a point that was stored up In their minds to be used during the trying test. "I'll have all of this work to do over again," said one, as he was told that the examination was postponed until Decem ber 8. "I know I could have passed to day." "Glad I've got more time to study," 1 "Didn't yer ndvertolse-?" said another. "I'll bet I am loaded for the exam, by' December." There -was the fame difference in the way that the word was received by the applicants for treatment. They had been saving up their bad teeth since they had seen the notice of the opportunity to have ti.em treated free. Some were highly In dignant that they had come for nothing, while others gave a- sigh of relief as they learned that the painful ordeal of pulling a tooth was. to "be postponed. ' Lacked- n ffcnornm. The first meeting was called for yester day morning at the Imperial Hotel, when applications were to be received. Dr. A. L. Beattie, secretary of the board, was there, and nine applications were received during the morning. Others failed toget their applications in until after noon, making about a dozn all tpld Dr. Beattie was somewhat surprised, however, to find that the members of the board did not show up. It takes three to make a quorum, and two were -all tha.t could be found. At 1 o'clock, the appointed time, "I'm koIii' -to set a frnvlty filled.", "Hnli! I got n'ulcerated molar." he adjourned to the Dental College and there spent his time in telling the ex pectant people who came there that they would have to come again 'next December. "Why There Was Xo QBorura, Although there are some who have been put to a great inconvenience and expense ln coming here for the examinations, they do not blame the board for the occurrence. There are a number of circumstances which, happening ull at once, made it im possible for three of the board to get to gether, but It Is the general sentiment that, if the Governor had not failed to appoint a successor for Dr. Wright, there Would have been no trouble. Dr. Wright's term of office expired last year. At the ex piration of each man's term the remaining members of the board are allowed to name three candidates for the place he has left vacant. From these three one iff ap pointed by the Governor. Last year , the three men that were named by the board were all from Portland. This raised the 're of the other cities through the state, especially Salem, and there was much complaint. Influenced by this, and wishing- to look Into the matter further, the Governor postponed the appointment, and f.nally entirely overlooked it. N The law on the subject provides that Dri- Wright shall serve until his successor is appointed, but the fact that his term of ofilce has expired lias pcobably relieved him from the re sponsibility of the office, and he docs not feel that he Is obliged to attend, i Scenes at the College. There were some -varied scenes presented at the college during the afternoon. One young dentist, who had failed in a prc vfous examination, was intent upon pass ing this time. Shortly before 1 o'clock he came slowly up the walk. His book was open and he was looking up some Im portant points that he expected to be raised in the course of "the examination. "The examination is all off," said one. of the students. "Then I've done all of this studying for nothing," said he, with a disgusted look. "I'll have to learn this all over for next time." As others came, a dozen or more of the applicants gathered on the front steps and talked of what they would nave said If they had only been asked certain ques tlonsi They had been there but a .short time when their patients commenced to come in. "Is this where you get your teeth pulled free?" asked a timid-looking boy, who had his head tied up ln a handkerchief, and looked as If he had been suffering for come' time. "Gee, I'm glad," said he, as lie was told that he would have. to come back again. "They say they can pull teeth without hurting, but ,1 am. afraid they can't do It." "That's a purty way to do," said an old lady, as she was told of the postponement. "My husband said there was some fake about it, and that the doctors were not going to give anything" for nothing. De cembtr, hey: Well, you won't get me here again,'-' and she walked angrily away. Others insisted that they had come to get their teeth fixed, and that they were BPlng to have what was promised them; but they were turned gently away, and soon the meeting adjourned to make an other, try December S. IN HONOR OF THE KING. Drltlxhers Celehrate Their Sover eign's 'Birthday With Baniiuct. Over CO Britishers, Canadians and Amer icans gathered last night at a banquet given at Kruse's restaurant. In honor of the birthday of King Edward VII. The dining-room was beautifully decorated with American and British flags, and palme. The toastmaster was George Taylor. First in the list of toasts came "The King," and then British Consul Laidlaw proposed ''The President," ' fol lowed by the singing In chorus of "The Star Spangled Banner." Robert Livingstone proposed ihe toast, "The Land We Live In," and said in part: "One of the characteristics of the British people, for centuries, has been their deep fieated loyalty to the reigning sovereign. The name of Queen Victoria is revered among us still. When crowds recently gathered in London to celebrate the crowning of King Edward and news came that he was ill, there was not only sor row in the British Isles but throughout the world. The poor man is better ln this country than in any other, and I do not think you would be here If you thought this land is not better than the one you left. This is a land of plenty we are feeding the nations of the world. Is there, for Instance, any state in all the world where there is so much rain as ln the State of Oregon? If you lived in an arid state, you would better appreciate the blessings of rain In helping us raise crops to produce food stuffs." "The Relation of the Subject to the King" was proposed by William D. Wheel wright, and he thought that the finer qualities of the human heart are stimu lated by loyalty to a King. He stated that he had fiqen the present King when the latter, as Prince of Wales, visited this country In I860, and added: "My feeling? for him then was one of high re spect, and throughout all the following years, so far as I have been informed, that feeling has been mutual." Mr. Wheel wright praised the conduct of the British in their splendid treatment of the Boers as a conquered people. In speaking on the toast, "Queenstown for Order?," William S. Slbson said that we must not be satisfied with 22 or 24 feet of water from Portland to the sea there Is no limit. He paid his tribute of admiration to the character of King Edward, not only as a King but as a brave, chivalrous and honorable gentleman. .Wallace McCamant gave a fine, stirring historical speech on the toast: "The Brotherhood of the Two Branches of the Anglo-Saxon Race." Other toasts fol lowed. During the evening songs were given by Messrs. Teale, Scott and LIHis. CHILD-MARRIAGE IN INDIA Returned Missionary Tells of Diffi culties of Abolishing Cnstom. The Indo-Amerlcan Woman's League, at a meeting yesterday at jthc home of the president, Mrs. S. V. Hill, heard Miss Jennie Coleman, who has been a mis sionary in India for twelve years, answer many questions concerning' the situation in that field. Miss Coleman declared that the Buddhist religion Is In the main su5 perior to Brahmlnism, for the Brahmin priests teach their people that It Is a disgrace not only to the child, but to the parents, to allow a girl to reach 12 years of age unmarried. Many of the educated men of India, she s,ald. refuse to allow their daughters to be married while they are still children, but the threat of loss of caste Induces them to consent. These men are not Christians, but are enlight ened and know the abuses of the sys tem of child-marriage. She told of a physician whose daughter was in one of the mission schools. He're fused to allow her to be married, but quickly lost caste and the only means of regaining it was to allow his 12-year-old daughter to marry a man of 30 years, which he finally consented to do. Child marriage, Miss Coleman declared, is work ing the rula -of India, for the average age of Indian women Is only 24 years. The British government is doing all in its power to correct such evils, though the opposition Is tremendous and Increas ing. , Two native societies, being alarmed at the power the Christians were gaining over the people, arc working for the re form of the child-marriage custom. Mar riage between persons of different reli gions is not allowed," and the only way a Hindu may marry a Christian 1b to be come a Christian. There are absolutely no child-marriages Yimqng the natives who have become Christians, Miss Coleman says. The next meeting of the league will be at the home of Mrs. Abigail Scott Dunl way, on November 24. ' Cavalry Reach Boise Barracks. BOISE, Idaho, Nov. 10.
