Fast-Growing Trade of
Oriental Steamers.

. "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:

Secretary S. 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.

CLOTHING THAT WEARS.
The Woolen Mills Make tke Best
Cloth for Men's Snits.
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. Thta firm, although having
had a store In Portland for nearly 30
years, has never enjoyed so large a trade
before, since these mills have been reor
ganized and under new management the
class of goods has shown a great improve
ment, more attention has been given to
the designs and colorings put Into the
cloth and also In the cheaper suits from
$7 50 to $12 50 show the-tailor work, and
the ones priced at $15 to $1S' are equal to
any Eastern suits at double this price.
The store this Fall has Issued a hand

made by them and from distant points
in Colorado and oven Nebraska and Iowa
where catalogues have been sent orders

CHORUS OF DISGUST
Greets Postponement of Den
"tal Examinations.
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. '
