PORTLAND LEA
Seattle and Tacoma Be:
hind in Imports.
BOTH PORTS OUTCLASSED
Official Figures Show Rel
ative Importance.
CUSTOMS RECEIPTSTRUE GAUGE
For Year Ending June 30, Duty Paid
on Portland' Imports "Wan Dou
ble Taconm'n and One-Third
Greater Than Seattle's.
The statement of the Treasury Depart
ment showing the actual business handled
iy the different customs districts for the
year ending June 30 will contain figures
which place Portland in an enviable light.
The actual business of a port can only be
gauged by the goods that are bought and
sold at that port or in the Immediate ter
ritory, the merchandise which goes
through In transit properly belonging to
the point or locality where It originates.
This fact is thoroughly understood'ln com
mercial circles, and the Government in
collecting duty on foreign goods brought
ln.o the country properly recognizes It by
making the duty payable at the point for
jwhich the goods are destined. In this
way, and In this way only, can the proper
amount of business be credited to the
ports responsible for Its creation and "dis
tribution. Tne Tacoma and Seattle pa
pers have repeatedly printed elaborate fig
ures Intended to show that the business
of those cities was enormously greater
than that of Portland. Here Is what the
Treasury Department will show as re
ceipts for the three principal ports of the
Northwest for the year ending June' 30,
1D03:
Portland f 5S20.S44.25
Seattle 565.956.2S
Tacoma . 360,303.90
Other Puget Sound ports 101.513.S6
These figures show the relative Impor
tance of the ports when the business is
presented in Its true light. But great re
sults (on paper) can be secured with fig
ures, and the Tacoma News under date of
July 14 prints the following:
Portland's Imports In 1888 were valued at
$032,320, In 1001-2 at $2.55r..3GS, and for 11
months or last year at $2,514,055. Puget
Sound's Imports are coming up all the time.
In 18S8 they were valued at $407,418, In 1803 at
$830,700, In 1808 at $5,058,000. and for the
year Just closed at $12,177,243. The import
trade will follow the export trade and Puget
Sound will become the leading customs district
on the Pacific Coast.
The -natural inference which the casual
reader would gain by perusal of the News'
figures would be that Puget Sound was
handling more than four times as much
Import business as Portland. This mis
leading information Is sent broadcast
through the country, and unaccompanied
by the explanatory statement that four
fifths of the business represented by the
alleged $12,177,243 of imports belongs to
New York, Chicago, Boston, Philadel
phia, Baltimore and other Extern cities,
where the duty and freight were paid and
the goods were distributed, it attracts at
tention to which it is not entitled. It Is
not discreditable to cither Tacoma or
Seattle that they are far behind Portland
in the actual amount of Import business
handled, as both cities are new at the
business. There is nothing creditable,
however, la the attempt to make compari
sons by using misleading figures.
If Puget Sound Imported four times as.
much merchandise as Portland, her cus
toms receipts should be four times as
great as those of Portland, or $3,280,000, In
stead of less than one-third that sum.
The customs receipts as shown In the
above figures, -tfhlch are official, credit
Portland with more than double the
amount of business handled by Tacoma,
and over one-third more than that han
dled by Seattle. These ratios are a correct
reflection of the relative importance of
the Import business of the three ports.
Evidence that It is correct Is found in the
21st of importations on the Oriental steam
ers entering at the different ports. '
James J. Hill is the controlling spirit in
Puget Sound's Oriental trade, and the car
goes of the two June steamers of his
Oriental line are representative of all of
the others entering the Puget Sound ports.
The steamship Itlojun Maru, which en
tered June 4, brought for Seattle 2416 pack
ages of freight, and Tacoma 740 pack
ages, a total of 3156 packages, as follows:
For Seattle, 7G2 "bales gunnies, 7S5 pack
ages rice, 804 packages miscellaneous mer
chandise and 63 packages curios. For Ta
coma, 63S bales gunnies, and 102 packages
miscellaneous merchandise. The steam
ship Iyo Maru, which entered June 17,
brought for Seattle 1038 packages, and for
Tacoma 334 packages, a total of 1390 pack
ages, as follows: For Seattle 158 bales
gunnies, 309 packages rice, 164 rolls mat
ting, 46 cases curios and 359 packages mis
cellaneous merchandise. For Tacoma, 233
bales gunnies, 100 bags, gold slag, 21 pack
ages miscellaneous merchandise. Here
was a total for the two steamers of 4546
packages.
Portland had but one 6teamer during
June, the Indrapura, which entered June
27. That portion of her cargo entered by
Portland merchants and on which duty
and freight was paid consisted of S977
packages of freight, including 1600 mats
rice, '66 bales gunnies, 4S0 packages tea,
200 tubs shoyu, 4232 packages sulphur, 171
packages preserves, 100 cases cassia, 77
packages of cocoanut, and the remainder
miscellaneous provisions, curios and gen
eral, Oriental merchandise. It is thus ap
parent that the slncle steamer entering
at Portland In June carried twice as much
cargo lor this city as was carried by the
two June steamers entering at Seattle for'
both Seattle and Tacoma. This ratio will
not be far out of the way for all of the
steamers entering at the North Pacific
ports.
Of the $12,177,243 claimed by the Puget
Sound papers as imports, but a small por
tion pays the slightest tribute to any of
the -Puget Sound merchants, and a few
hundred dollars paid for longshoremen's,
vaves will represent the sum total of its
benefit to the cities which seek to make
such capital -with It. Eventually the dis
tributive trade of the Puget Sound cities
will Increase so that either Seattle or
Tacoma will do as much business v as is
now handled by both ports. "When that
time comes, the distributive trade of Port
land will show a corresponding increase.

SMOKING WOOL AND RUINS OF ORKG-N CITY FIRE.
tOREGON CIHY, Or., July 15. (Special.) A heap of smoking wool and debris alone bear evidence of the de
structive blaze at the woolen mill plant of the Oregon City Manufacturing Company, in this city, last night: Of
ficers of the company today state that, while the- "probable loss cannot be reliably estimated at this time,
the damage will approximate the estimate of $75,000 to $100,000 given by The Oregonlan this morning, with ample
Insurance to meet the damage. .
The accompanying photograph was taken from the second story of the main mill building, and overlooks
the site of the buildings that were burned. The large pile of cordwood that Is shown offered, splendid protection
to the main building. Across the river are seen the paper mills and the electric light plant.
Byrne, and started in a vacant attic
over his saloon. It was just before 1
o'clock, 'and he had not yet closed the
saloon.
"There was no fire in the house," he
said, "and I have no Idea how the fire
could have started. Trie firemen are of
the opinion that a spark from an electric
wire must have started the flames."
At least 20 people wore asleep in the
lodging-houso next door when the fire
broke out. The employes of the South
ern Pacific freight house noticed the
flames, and hurried to the lodging-house
to awaken the Inmates.
Startled from their slumbers they
rushed down the narrow stairs or climbed
down the ladders placed upon the second
story window" by the firemen.
Many of the inmates were colored peo
ple, and half a dozen dusky damsels
hurried down the ladders, wrapped In lit
tle more than their sleeping apparel.
Smoke filled the rooms and those of the
tenants who had escaped early stood on
the street and watched the flames creep
ing toward their possessions. Others
who did not forget their valuables stayed
until nearly everything was lowered to
the sidewalk before they fled.
A stream of water prevented the flames
from eating their way into the lodging
house, but as much water penetrated the
thin partition some damage was done.
GAS BUOY IN POSITION.
MarkH a. Plain Coame at Columbia's
Month.
ASTORIA, Or., July 15. (Special.) The
new gas buoy was placed in position to
day at the mouth of the river by the
lighthouse tender Heather. Captain
George Woods, the bar pilot, was on
board and assisted Captain Gregory and
Inspector Calkins in selecting the best lo
cation. It was, placed near No. 2 buoy, which
will be removed at the first opportunity,
and was not lighted because of the rough
ness of the water, as it is necessary to
approach the buoy in a small boat for
that purpose.
Its location Is considered an excellent
one, as it has deep water on either side,
and entering the river a direct course can
be steered to it from the lightship and
then taking it as a stern bearing the
course will be directly toward Fort Co
lumbia until buoy No. S Is reached, -when
the river channel Is taken. Its position
is such that in leaving the river a vessel
can go down to and around it to look at
the conditions outside with perfect safety
in all kinds of weather.

H. C. Edsell. of this city, has received
notification from the Department of Com
merce and Labor of his appointment as
Chinese Inspector at Port Townsend. Mr.
Edsell has not yet decided whether to ac
cept or decline the offer. The appoint
ment came as an entire surprise. More
than two years ago he took the civil
service examination In this city for the
post and was notified that he had. been
placed on the eligible list, but as time
passed -without an appointment he had al
most forgotten he was a candidate until
word came that he had been assigned to

HIS WORK SOON BEGINS
A. F. MILLER- APPOINTED COMMIS
SIONER. FROM OREGON.
Has Had Much Experience in Collect
ins Forestry Exhibits and V1H
Be Aided by Granges.
A. F. Miller received official notice yes
terday at his home in Sellwood that he
had been appointed Commissioner of Ag
riculture and Horticulture for Oregon at
the St. Louis Exposition. The appoint
ment has come to a man who has had
much to do with the preparation of ex
hibits, and who is familiar with condi
tions in Oregon. Jlr, Miller heretofore
hag given his attention largely to for
estry exhibits. He was Forestry Com
missioner at the Chicago exposition, and
prepared a full display of Oregon yfoods,
collecting over 120 different varieties of
timber. He has also collected timber ex
hibits for the Northern Pacific Railway
Company, and there are at Washington
and in Paris forestry displays collected,
by Mr. Miller.
"I have not consulted with any of the
members of the state commission, as to
their plans," said Mr. Miller yesterday,
"but work should commence at once In
some lines. If we are to have any cher
ries we must get them at once before
they are gone. For grains and grasses
we can go to the various fairs this Fall.
! Including the state and district fairs.
which will be held In different portions of
the state. I think we can secure at
those fairs what we may want In these
lines. Richard Scott, one of the state
commissioners, Intimated in his talk be
fore Clackamas County Pomona Grange
that he should favor the Grange having
an exhibit at St. Louis. However, I sup
pose full plans will be adopted soon and
I expect to commence my work as com
missioner In a short time."
Mr. Miller Is a prominent member of
the Grange, Patrons of Husbandry, which
will probably help him materially in his
work of collecting a display of fruits and
grains. He has In his home a large col
lection of premiums that have come to
him from timber exhibits placed at many
places.
"WORK VV GRANGE DISPLAY.
Committee WJtl Secure Co-Operation
in OrcRon and IVniililnfrton.
The full committee appointed by Mult
nomah County Pomona, Patrons of Hus
bandry, to work up a sentiment among
the Granges of Oregon and Washington in
I favor of a special Grange headquarters
and display at the.. Lewis and Clark Ex
position. Is composed of Mrs. H. L. Vail,
chairman, Palestine; R. P. Rasmussen,
Corbett; Mrs. Ruth Roberts, Gresham;
A. F. Miller, Sellwood, and Mrs. Mary
Brown, Portland. The committee has not
been called together as yet to start work
according to the provisions of the reso
lution passed by Pomona Grange, but
probably will be soon. t
One pt the main objects of the commit
tee Is to ascertain whether the Granges
will co-operate In such a movement. From
expressions of opinion that have come
from prominent members both In Ore
gon and Washington, it seems probable
the committee will receive favorable re-
i piles to its communications when they are
; sent to the several Granges in these
j states. It is felt In the farmers' order.
: that If the Grangers are to assist In mak
ing a display .at the Exposition It
should be a Grange display got up by
Grangers and placed in headquarters con
ducted by the organization.
A. F. Miller, a member of the com
mittee, said yesterday that the principal
difficulty will be to. get a working com
mittee which will take hold and push
the matter. This present committee has
nothing to do with getting up a display.
Its function is simply to promote the
movement and get the Granges to act,
and out of their action will come the ap
pointment of a committee and chairman
who will have power to work up the dis
play and secure the headquarters on the
fair ground. It will probably take two
months to get answers to the communica
tions that are to be sent out to the
Granges in Oregon and Washington.
REPAIRS ARB FINISHED.
Engine Company No. Ta Qanrters
Are Put In Good Shape.
Repairs to the quarters occupied by En
gine Company No. 7, on East Third and
East Pine streets, are practically com
pleted, and the horses and engine were
put back in their places yesterday. The
improvement over former conditions Is
very great. On the lower floor stalls for
the four horses have been entirely re
built and enlarged. Overhead there is
now a clear space up to the celling. The
iced depository is now in the room form
erly occupied by the policemen and Is
much mpre convenient. Back of the
horses to the further end of the building
there is a clear open room, the old steel
ceil, formerly used for a jail, having been
removed 'and a new floor laid.
In front of the quarters the sidewalks,
formerly of wood, have been replaced
with solid Belgian blocks, while along
the north side concrete has been laid. In
the quarters for the firemen on the sec4
ond floor another room has been provided
east of the large assembly hall, and sleep
ing quarters, which will be used fpr stor
ing clothes and for other purposes. In the
room alongside the englneroom stalls for
horses will also -be built fpr emergency
purposes. The cost of the repairs Is con
siderable, but there . will be no call for
further improvements to th!3- building for
a number of years.
WILIi BE LARGE IMPROVEMENT,
Union Avenae Will Be Graveled
Front Highland to Woodlawn.
There are good prospects that the long
delayed Improvement of Union avenue,
between Alberta street and the Lewis
Love tract will" be undertaken some time
this year. Proceedings are so far along
that there is hardly any doubt the Im
provement will go through. It Is -the "most
Important improvement projected for the
East Side this year, being considerably
over a mile in length, and It will 'afford
street facilities to Piedmont and Wood
lawn and adjacent districts heretofore al
most inaccessible for vehicles in the Win
ter. It is proposed to 'gravel the street for
the full width, and also to have gravel
sidewalks, the -latter being anInnovation.
Union avenue was widened to SO feet as
the result of over ten years of effort. In
deed, It has taken about 12 years of agi
tation to reach the present state of the
proceedings, but the progress of matters
may not be quite so slow from this point
to the -completion of the contract. The
City Engineer estimates the cost at $25,
393. Work is now - progressing on the lm-
provement of Union avenue between
Weldler and Morris streets. When this
Is completed and the avenue Is graveled
from Alberta street to the Love tract at
Woodlawn, Union avenue will be the
longest Improved street on the East Side.
H. BAUMER'S STORE ROBBED.
Entrance Effected Thronjrh Trannom
L'nder GInre of Electric Lljrht.
When the store of H. Baumer, corner of
Union avenue and East Morrison street,
was opened yesterday morning it was
found that burglars had been In the
building. The back door had been left
wide open, and on further Investigation it
was found that the store had been en
tered through the transom over the door
of the inside room facing East Morrison
street. This seems remarkable, as there
Is an arc light on the Intersection of
Union avenue and East Morrison street.
To reach the transom the burglars must
have used a ladder almost under the glare
of the arc light. Persons living upstairs
above the store say they heard a noise
at about 12 o'clock at night.
Very little money was secured. Mr.
Baumer missed only about $1.50 In cash
from the till and from the telephone cash
box A gold-washed watch also was
taken. Mr. Baumer thinks he got off
lucky this time, as on two former occa
sions when his store was robbed fully $75
worth of articles were taken.
DEATH FROM LOCK J AAV.
Funeral of Victim, Charlcx Wert,
Wan Held Yesterday Afternoon.
The funeral of Charles C. Wert, son of
George Wert, who lives at 91 East Ninth
street North, was held yesterday after
noon from the Third Presbyterian Church.
Rev. Andrew J. Montgomery, conducted
the services. Interment was in Lone Fir
cemetery.
The boy died from lockjaw caused by
a slight wound In the index finger of the
left hand, the result of a Fourth of July
accident. He was 13 years old. While
playing with a toy pistol the cartridge
exploded prematurely, lacerating the
finger. It did not seem to be a serious
wound, but it "was dressed by a physician
and carefully cleaned. A few days ago
he was attacked with tetanus, and in spite
of the efforts of the physicians grew
worse, and died Monday night He at
tended the North Central School.-
BulldinK Lumber Dock. -Th'e
Sellwood Lumber Company has cov
ered its block between East Pine and
Couch streets west of East First street
with piles driven for the foundation of
a lumber" dock, which will take up the
entire block. It is. the : intention of the
owners of the Sellwood sawmill to make
this dock their city lumber yard, and
to bring lumber there by rail and water.
As it will be some time before the Ore
gon Water Power & Railway Company
will complete its line along East "Water
street, lumber will probably bo brought
to the dock by water.
Ent Side Note.
The funeral of Mrs. Emily Parker, of
Lents, was held yesterday afternoon from
the home of her daughter, Mrs. John WI1-cox-and
the interment was In Multnomah
cemetery. Sho -was 66 years of age.
The Improvements to the Woodlawn
Methodist Church have just been com
pleted, and the church reopened. A full
basement has been built for Sunday
school purposes. It Is provided with a
cement floor and Is a very attractive
room. New pews have also been provided.
Rev. Harry Waltz is pastor. The Im
provements cost about $400.

LAST SALE AT SHANIKO
HIGH PRICES FOR EASTERN ORE
GON "WOOLS MAINTAINED.
Of 1,000,000 Pounds Offered, SS5,00O
Pounds Were Disposed Of Dis
trict Nearly Cleaned Up.
SHANIKO, Or.. July 15. (Special.)
The third and last of the series of sealed
bid wool sales, fixed for Shanlko, came
off today. Of the 1,000,000 pounds offered
in the two warehouses, SSo.OOO pounds were
sold. The high prices established here
early in the season for choice staple
were maintained on that class clear
through all of the sales. Including to
day's. The "argest lots offered were those
of Rettie & Patterson, Kenneth F. Mac
Rae, James Small. Wurtz, Weller &
Thompson, J. Karlln, Johnson' & Sons,
George Hardle, Williamson & Wakefield
E. Stewart, Charles Buckley and-Keerns
Bros., all of which sold at prices ranging
from 12c to 14"c. The shorter grown or
clothing wool, of which there were 500.
000 pounds sold, brought from 11 to 12
cents. Besides these there were 100.000
pounds of frowzy and dark wools taken
by the buyers at from 10 to 11 cents, to be
scoured at The Dalles before shipment
East.
With the exception of a few straggling
lots, aggregating 150,000 pounds, this
cleans up all the wools that have been
received at Shanlko this season. There
are a few lots still undelivered, due to
arrive here later from Silver Lake and
other interior points, but not sufficient
to warrant the buyers in fixing another
sales day.. There were sold on the two
previous sales days here 3,225,000 pounds,
which added to today's sales makes a
total of about 4.000.1XK) pounds which,
taken with that on hand unsold and due
to arrive, aggregates the 5.000,000 pounds
that it was estimated would be marketed
"at this point during the year.
This Is the second season that the
sealed bid sales have been In operation
In this state and. as a rule. It seems to
meet the approval of the buyers and
large growers. There are, of course, a
few exceptions. Generally the criticisms
come from owners of small lots, but
should the future season prove as satis
factory as the past two have, the system
will have come to stay and will probably
be universally adopted. The buyers pres
ent were: F. Kuhn. A. Livingston,
Thomas Smith, Charles Green, J. M.
Russell. S. F. Frankenstein. William
Ellery and E. W. Brigham, representing
Botany Mills, Denny, Rice & Benedict,
Moses & Co., Koshlahd & Co., Dalles
Scouring Mills. Hecht, Llebman & Co.,
Hallowell & Donald. Whitman, Farns
worth & Thayer respectively. All made
purchases except the two last named.
Of the 4.000,000 pounds of wool sold at
Shanlko this season. F. Kuhn has pur
chased 2,000,000: E. W. Brigham, 900.000;
William Ellery. 500.000; Moses & Kosh
land, 350,000, and 250.000 pounds have gone
to various other buyers.
Owing to the lofty character of some
of the choice staple clips of Eastern
Oregon wool, there Is a disposition on
the part of some of the buyers to' dla
'play these wools In Eastern markets as
they come. from the sheep's back. In
order to do that, these buyers are under
taking to have the railroad companies
establish either a round bag rate or a
rate on three of the round bass com
pressed together. The present tariff re-'
quires the wool compressed to 19pounds
to the cubic foot in the regular square
bale press. This method, some of the
buyers seem to think, qualifies the at
tractiveness of the choicest wools, and
hence the demand on the railroad com
panies for a tariff that will enable them
to ship these wools In the sacks as they
cpme from the ranches .without the re
handling here necessary for grading and
packing in the square bales. The O. R.
& N. Company and the Union Pacific have !
heretofore declined to put In such a
tariff, but lately, on account of th mm.
petition of the Northern Pacific and Great I
Northern, both of which have a round I
bag tariff, have consented to haul the (
round bag, if compressed in packages of
uiree Dags to 13 pounds to the cubic
foot, at a rate 10 cents above the square
bale tariff. This will probably prove pro
hibitory, as It Is stated by the" warehouse
men who have, the round bag presses
that it is practically an impossibility to
compress the light, lofty wools In the
round bags to the density of 19 pounds to
the cubic foot.
WILL PROTECT ITS TRADE
Northern. Pacific Rond "Will Meet O.
It. &. X. Corn Rate.
SPOKANE, Wash., July 15. (Special.)
Traffic Manager J. M. Hannaford, of the
Northern Pacific, announced here that
steps would probably be taken by his road
to protect the canned corn distributing
business of local wholesalers. Since the
recent slash In distributing rates out of
Portland, made by the O. K. & N. Spo
kane trade has been seriously threatened,
and the only salvation In sight Is a rev
duction of the wholesale rate on car lots
of corn Into Spokane from $1.10 to 00 cents
a hundred. Thl3 will doubtless be grant
ed. Later Mr. Hannaford was shown dis
patches in which J. W. Blabon, traffic
manager of the Great Northern, says
that unless the O. R. & N. cancels the
rate of G2t& cents per 100 from Portland,
It is very likely that Spokane Jobbers will
be given the SO-cent rate asked for from
Northern roads.
"It would.be foolishness on the part of
the Northern Pacific to publish In ad
vance a new rate," said Mr. Hannaford.
Mr. Hannaford left last evening in his
private car for the -Coast. He is accom-J
panieu on nis trip over the road by his
two sons, Foster and J. M. Hannaford,
Jr. He said that he would return through
Spokane within a week or ten days.
