12 THE MORNING OKEGONIAN, THURSDAY, MARCH 19, 1903. PORTLAND GRANARY This City Supplying Wheat for Ail Coast Ports, REMARKABLE STATE OF TRADE Sastern Wheat Coming: to Paget Sound Ports tor Shipment to Ah tralla Larffe Stocks of Wheat on Spot at Portland. "Within the past 30 days nearly 100.000 bushels of wheat have been shipped from Portland to Puget Sound. During the same period a similar amount has been shipped from Portland to San Francisco, and at least 100,000 bushels havo been shipped from Puget Sound to Sin Fran cisco. Since January 1 the Northern Pa cific has brought upwards of 100,000 bush els of wheat into Portland from east of the Cascade Mountains, by way of 1a consa. Within the past 90 days, over 230,000 bushels of wheat from Minnesota and Dakota has been shipped from Puget Sound to Australia and South Africa, and two large steamers with a combined capacity of nearly 400,000 bushels are now loading Eastern wheat at Seattle for Aus tralia. The steamship Eureka, now load ing In Portland, will carry about 150.000 bushels of wheat to San Francisco. Yes Herday two big ships, the Pegasus and the Seefahrer, sailed from San Fran cisco for Portland to secure wheat cargoes for South Africa. List Fall, when the season first opened, a large amount of wheat was shipped from Idaho and "Wash ington to points as far East as Battle Creek. Mich. Here in brief Is a statement of the most remarkable combination of seemingly per verted conditions that have ever been noticed in the wheat trade of the Pacific Northwest The shipment of wheat to Tacoma was nearly all choice bluestem, to be used for milling purposes. There was a much smaller amount of wheat grown in Puget Sound territory in 1902 than was produced by the country tributary to Portland. Before this shortage in that portion of "Washington tributary to Puget Sound was thoroughly understood, millers operating out of Puget Sound ports had raade liberal space engagements on the Oriental steamers and for shipment to Australia, and South Africa. For several Wfipks past spot stocks of wheat at Ta coma have been at very low ebb, and it accordingly became necessary to draw on Portland, which has carried large stocks throughout the season. Sin Francisco has been short on wheat for the past four months, and practically all of the Valley wheat that has been shipped this year has found Its way to foreign markets through San Francisco, or has been 'milled in the Bay City. The shipments for the season to date from Portland to San Francisco already ex ceed 500,000 bushels, and there is moro to follow by both steamer and rail. The greater part of the Oregon wheat that has been shipped to San Francisco from Portland has been used for mixing pur poses, and as California wheat sells at about Is 3d per quarter more in the Liv erpool market than is obtainable for Walla Walla, there Is quite a margin of profit in the mixing. Another factor which contributes to the profits of the transaction is the lower freight rates which have prevailed out of San Fran cisco this season. There was a large amount of cargo tonnage entered San Francisco since thq season opened, and the exporters were, thus enabled to put rates down to, the lowest figure on rec ord. Portland has had no great surplus of tonnage at any time during the sea son, and when it became necessary to se cure near-by ships, exporters were obliged to charter them to come north from San Francisco. This gave the Bay City a dif ferential equal in amount to the cost of moving a ship from San Francisco to Portland. The hauling of wheat from east of the mountains to Portland by way of Tacoma is not new business in fact, it has been In vogue since the Wallula gateway was closed, three years ago. Just at this time, howover, it presents a singular ap pearance when wheat is going the other way. The shipment of Eastern wheat and flour to Australia by "way of Puget Sound ports comes strictly under the head of new business. Already this season two full cargoes and part of another of East ern wheat and flour have been shipped from Seattle and Tacoma for Austria, and two large steamers are now on Puget Sound loading for the Antipodes. Local exporters seem unable to figure out a profit on a transaction of this kind unless there Is some secret rebating of freight. Wheat In Minneapolis Is practically the ime price as it is In Oregon and Wash ington ports, and the regular rate would make It an Impossibility to bring it to tlJewater on the Pacific Coast for less than IS cents per bushel. The Minnesota and Dakota wheat Is a superior article of hard Winter wheat and commands a premium over the Pa cific Coast cereal, but the premium is far from being sufficient to cover the heavy freight rate to the Coast. A portion of the difference is said to be from the sav ing that is made by shipping it from points pretty well out In the Dakotas. Some of thl wheat has been held in ele vators along the Great Northern, and takes a lower rate to the Pacific Coast than is paid from Minneapolis or other big terminal points. A saving is also effected on the haul of wheat from West ern Dakota into Minneapolis. All of these factors combined, however, seem insuffi cient to enable the business to be handled at a profit, unless rate-cutting Is being indulged in, and it is generally believed that Mr. Hill is taking advantage of the heavy castbound lumber traffic and re turning his cars to the Coast with "wheat at a low rate. The wheat which was shipped East last Fall was all select bluestem grown on new ground in Idaho and in the Big Bend country, and most of it was used in the preparation of breakfast foods. For this purpose it naturally commanded a heavy prerr.lum over ordinary stock, and ac cordingly has no particular bearing on the remarkable condition of the wheat trade at Pacific ports at the present time. The burning of the Victoria dock de prived Portland of the credit for at least three cargoes of grain which was Intend ed for April shipments, but all of the other docks in the city are well filled, and there will be some business in the export line right up to the end of the season. NEW POSTAL STATIONS. To Be EMtaliliNlied nt Meier fc Frank Company nnd 23d and Lovejoy. Postmaster Bancroft has been advised by the Postoffice Department at Wash ington that when the office is moved down to the temporary location at Sixth and Burnslde streets, a station will be put in operation on the premises df the Meier & Frank Company to accommodate the pub lic He was also adviod that a ub-sia-tlonwlll be put Into operation at Twenty third and Lovejoy streets on July 1. In regard to the establishment of the Meier & Frank station, the following let ter has been received from J. J. Howley, chief clerk of the First Assistant Post master General: "You are advised that o station will be established at this location whn the xost office is moved to a temporary site, provided the expense will not exceed S100 per annum for main tenance. You should reauest the estab lishment of the etatlon as soon as it Is known when the office will be removed. .and state the exact location, street and number." He is also advised that the station at Twenty-third and Lovejoy streets will bo established on July 2. under a clerk in charge at a salary of $100 per annum. He is requested to call attention to the mat ter about May L and report the appoint ment. The receipt of Postmaster Bancroft's letter of March 5 inclosing the petition signed by East Side residents has been acknowledged at Washington. The signers live in the East Twenty-eighth street dis trict and have no free delivery now, and Chief Clerk Howley says: "You failed to-, state whether the section referred to is supplied with good side walks, street lights,, house numbers and names of streets posted at intersections. Kindly furnish this "information, and you will bo further advised." WARNERVALXEYL AND CASE History of the Proceedings That Have jBit Been Determined. The brief dispatch from Washington an nouncing Secretary Hitchcock's decision In favor of the contestees or defendants in the case of J. I Morrow et aL vs. the State of Oregon and the Warren Val-5 ley Company settles a controversy of long standing, and one that has excited much interest in Eastern Oregon. Nearly 8000 acres of land, practically all swamp, are involved in the matter. This land was returned by the Deputy Surveyor In 1S75 as Lake Warner. In ISSi these lands were purchased from the state by Henry Owen as swamp, and as such sold to B. F. M. Connaugby, who sold them to the Warner Valler Stock Company. Between 1SSS and 1S90 a large "number of people settled upon, these lands and commenced contests, alleging that on March 12. 1SS0, the date of the swamp land grant, these lands were dry, arable lands, and would, without reclamation, produce an agricultural crop. During the years 1SS9 and 1590 these contests, es in number, were tried before the land office at Lake view and decision in every case rendered in favor of tho state, which, on appeal, was affirmed by the Commissioner of the General Land Office. In four cases an appeal was taken to the Secretary of the Interior, and the decision of the lower officers was again affirmed and the lands approved to the state. The contestants then abandoned the dry land theory and asked the Secretary of the Interior to set aside his approval of the lands and determine from the evi dence whether or not these lands were not the bed of a permanent lake on March 12, 1SC0. In December, 1S33, tho Secretary of the Interior rendered a decision holding that at the date of the swamp land grant these lands were the bed of an apparently per manent lake, and ordered that the claim of the state be cancelled, and, upon mo tion for rehearing, affirmed his former decision. In 1S97 the Warner Valley Stock Com pany petitioned the Secretary of the In terior to reopen the case, for the reasons, first, that no issue was ever raised as to whether the land was or was not lake in the local land office, and the petitioners had no opportunity to present their evi dence, and, second. If the land was a per manent lake it belonged to the State of Oregon by virtue of her sovereignty, and, consequently, to the petitioner by virtue of a deed from the State of Oregon. The Secretary granted the petition, and a trial was had before the local officers at Lakevlew. Register Brittain and Receiver Bailey decided that the land was the bed of a permanent lake. The Warner Valley Stock Company appealed from this de cision to the Commissioner of the Gen eral Land Office. Commissioner Hermann had a personal argument of the case be fore him, which lasted nearly two days, and. after a thorough consideration of the case, decided that the land was swamp land, and directed that the claims of the settlers be canceled, but it is said that. finding his decision criticised by the local papers, he recalled it, and decided the case the other way. At any rate, the de cision was so made, and an appeal was then taken by the Warner Valley Stock Company to tho Secretary of the Interior, which resulted in. a reversal of tho de cision of the Commissioner. The Secre tary decides that the land was, on March 12. 1SG0, swamp, and that to hold that it was the bed of a permanent lake would be no benefit to the settlers, as the land in that event would belong to the State of Oregon. In these contests the Warner Valley Stock Company was represented by C. A. Cogswell and F. D. McKlnney, and tho settlers by Captain John Mullen. TERROR IN ANIMAL SHOW. Great Elephant Jino -Fights and Trumpets Before DyinK nt Sea. NEW YORK, March 18. The elephant Jingo, said tohave been larger than Jumbo, died at sea on the steamer Georglc, which arrived from Liverpool to day. An animal show bought Jingo In London. Jingo was 22 years of age, 12 feet high, weighed six tons and was valued at $50,000. For 60 hours preceding its death, the mammoth beast trumpeted without ces sation and twice knocked down its keep er, the famous Lawrence, who attempted to pacify it. The cries of the elephant aroused the leopards and the tigers, which were on the ship, and they, too, joined in the cry, which for three days kept the crew of the Georglc on its guard. As each day passed. Jingo seemed to grow -weaker and tie squirmed in his nar row cage in an effort to get out. He was securely chained in such a position in the aft hatchway that escape was im possible. On the fifth day out the animal's con dition became such that Lawrence gave him whisky and kept him under the in fluence of whisk for almost three days. It wa.3 then that Jingo became even more savage than ever and began the trumpeting. The entire crew went to Lawrence's assistance on the eleventh.day and joined with him in an effort to pacify Jingo. All failed, however, anil twice the beast got Its trunk through the bars of the cage and struck the keeper with such force that he was thrown to the deck. The other animals joined In the great noise, until about 9 o'clock of the morning of the 12th, when suddenly Jin go's cries ceased. Lawrence ran to the cage to find the animal dead. His carcass was examined and after it was decided It could not be stuffed it was thrown overboard. Trylnir to Enforce "Bine Lairs.' PHILADELPHIA. March IS.

AN EARTHQUAKE AT SEA STEAMER NEWPORT SEVERELY SHAKES DOWX THE COAST. Pass enters Tho ugh t the Vessel Had S track a. Reef Work of the Dredge Columbia. SAN FRANCISCO. March 18. The steamer Newport, which arrived today from Panama and way ports, was severely shaken by an earthquake while at sea. So pronounced was the shock that most of the passengers and many of the crew believed that the steamer had run on a reef. It was shortly after 2 o'clock on the morning of March 15 and the vessel was about 18 miles off the coast from Corinto when the shock waa felt. Several of the passengers, aroused from their sleep by the force of the quake, rushed on the deck in their night clothes and it was some time before they could be assured that there was no danger. GALES WILL BE FREQUENT. North Pacific Wind and "Weather Forecast for April. The North Pacific Pilot chart for April gives the following forecast of wind and weather in the North Pacific Ocean for the coming month: To the northward of 45 deg., and be tween the American Coast and 135 deg. west, the wlnd3 will veer from southeast (w:lth falling barometer) through west to northwest (with rising barometer). Gales will be frequent. Immediately under the Coast they will blow only from west to northwest; between 125-130 d"eg., from southeast to southwest; beyond 130 deg., from east-southeast to north-northwest. Between -10-15 deg. north, and under sim ilar barometric conditions, the wind will go from south to north, holding longest at northwest (southwest beyond 130 deg.), with occasional gales from southwest. To the southward of 40 deg. the prevailing direction will be northwest, and the easterly winds will be rare. Continuing southward, northwesterly winds may bo expected to prevail between the Coast and a line drawn from 30 deg. north, 130 deg. west, to 15 deg. north, 100 deg. west. Between 15 deg. and 10 deg. the prevailing winds will be north and north-, east, as also between 10 deg. and 5 deg., except immediately under the Coast, where the prevailing direction will still be northwest. Between 5 deg. north and the line southwesterly winds will extend from the Coast to SO deg. west, beyond which the direction becomes necessarily south erly and southeasterly. Tedious calms, frequently continuing several days in suc cession, may be expected throughout the whole region to the southward of 20 deg. north. The present month marks the com mencement of the transition from the northeast (Winter) to the southwest Summer monsoon. The former will still prevail with constancy throughout the China Sea as far south as 10 deg. north. To the southward of this parallel souther ly winds will blow at times for several days In succession, accompanied by thick weather and squalls. Along the Western coast of the Philip pine Archipelago during April light south easterly winds may be expected, with fre quent 'gusts during the afternoon hours. Light rainfall and occasional thunder storms. During May westerly winds will be frequent, especially during the fore noon hours. A persistence of these winds during the entire day may be regarded as indicating a barometric depression to the northeast of Luzon. Marked Increase "in rainfall and thunderstorms of dally oc currence. For Manila the average cllmato loglcal conditions during April are: Pres sure, 29.90 Inches; temperature, 82.9 deg. F.; rainfall, L2 Inches. For May they are: Pressure, 29.SS inches: temperature, 83 deg. F. (maximum for the year); rain fall. 4.2 Inches. Typhoons during April are rare; during May one. at least, may be looked for with certainty. Field Ice may be looked for as far south as 42 deg. north, longitude 145-150 deg. east- The Golden Horn is ordinarily closed by ice until the middle of April, and harbors farther north to a corre spondingly later date. In Behring Sea the southern limit of the pack extends from Kuskoqulm Bay to a point to the south ward of St. George Island, thence north westward to Cape Navarin. i Aatorin Marine News Notes.
