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.

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.

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.

of the World's Commerce. .
Knowledge of "What In Best More Im
portant Than IVcaltn With
out It.
It must be apparent to every one that
qualities of the highest order are neces
sary to enable the best of the products of
modern commerce to attain permanently
to universal acceptance. However loudly
heralded, they may not hope for world-wide
preeminence unless they meet with the
general approval, not of individuals only,
but of the many who have the happy
faculty of selecting, enjoying and learn
ing the real worth of the choicest prod
ucts. Their commendation, consequently,
becomes important to others, since to
meet the requirements of the well " in
formed of all countries the method of
manufacture must be of the most per
fect order and the combination the most
excellent of its kind. The above Is true
not of food products only, but Is espe
cially applicable to medicinal agents and
after nearly a quarter of a century of
growth and general use the excellent
remedy. Syrup of Figs, is everywhere
accepted, throughout tho world, as tha
best of family laxatives. Its quality is
due not only to the excellence of the
combination of the laxative and carmin
ative principles of plants known to act
most beneficially on the system and pre
sented In the form of a pleasant and re
freshing liquid, but also to the method
of manufacture of the California Fig
Syrup Co., which ensures that uniformi
ty and purity essential in a remedy In
tended for family use. Ask any physi
cian who is well Informed and he will
answer at once that It is an excellent
laxative. If at all eminent in his pro
fession and has made a special study, of
laxatives and their effects upon the sys
tem he will tell you that It Is the best
of family laxatives, because it is sim
ple and wholesome and cleanses and
sweetens the system effectually, when
a laxative Is needed, without any un
pleasant after-effects- Every well-informed
druggist of reputable standing
knows that Syrup of Figs is an excel
lent laxative and is glad to sell It, at
the regular price of fifty cents pejr bot
tle, because it gives general satisfac--Uon,
but one should remember that In
order to get the beneficial effects of
Syrup of Figs- It Is necessary to buy the
