IS TJULE MOKNING- OREGOlSIAtf, FJK1DAT, SEPTEMBER - 15, XiJUX RATE NOT RESTORED Steamboat Conference at The Dalles Is Without Result. DISCRIMINATION IS CHARGED tlexsmlntor Line Will Xot Go Back to Original Tariff Until the Op 'poKition Steamer, Spencer, Is "Withdrawn. THE DAILES, Or., Sept. 17. (Special.) A joint meeting was held here this morning at the rooms o the Commercial Club between the representatives of the various transportation companies doing business at this place and The Dalles business men. The steamboat and rail road companies were represented by H. C. Campbell, general manager Regulator Line; R. B. Miller, freight and traffic manager O. B. & K. Co.; A. L. Craig, general passenger agent O. R. & N. Co., and G. W. Simons, general auditor Reg ulator Line. The meeting was brought about by a Sesire of all Interested to adjust the dif ferences existing between them in regard to the present rate war between the Reg ulator Line and the Spencer Line. "Thus far the cut-rates have not only been a loss to the two boat companies but also to the O. R. & N. Co., which is in no way Interested but Is loosing much from the increased travel and freight traffic on the boats. The O. R. & N. Co. is merely an onlooker, and if the rate war Is not adjusted soon will be forced to meet the rates by rail. The meeting resolved Itself Into qn In formal gathering, where the matter was talked over. The representatives of the Regulator Line took the stand that The Dalles' people are interested In the Spen cer Line, and for this reason the latter Is favored in many ways to the detriment of the Regulator Company. The result of the meeting seems to be that there will be no change In the present rates on the part of the Regulator Line until the Charles R. Spencer Is withdrawn from the middle Columbia. The Regulator people claim that this favoritism for the Spen cer is shown only by The Dalles' people, and thafthelr freight and passenger traf fic from all way stations Is as large as In former years. At a meeting of the City Council Tues day evening the question of granting river-front rights to the Spencer Line was taken up, and it will be acted upon definitely next Wednesday. At the time the Rtanlator Line was In augurated the city granted the company rights on the water front for "incline roadways, docks and warehouses. The ordinances granting these rights seem to be of such a nature that the Regulator Line claim they have the exclusive right to use this property Just as long as they operate an Independent boat line from Portland to The Dalles, and refuse to al low other boats to land within these lim its, which extend 460 feet along the best landing part of the river front. This atti tude has caused a belief that the Cily Council at Its next meeting will pass an ordinance allowing all boats to land with in these limits, and any boat line caring to test the validity of the ordinance will find themselves in trouble with the pres ent occupants the Regulator Line. BIG- STEAMSHIP CHARTERED. Vermont "Will Carry a. Mixed Cargo to Sontli Africa. Within the next month Portland docks will accommodate .six great steamships, with a total carrying capacity of nearly SO.000 tons. Grain sail tonnage of about the same amount will be In port besides the usual number of coasters, which aver age six or seven a week. One of the large steamers coming is the Vermont, a British vessel of 2723 tons net register, which has been chartered by T. M. Stevens & Co. to load mixed cargo for South Africa. The vessel will be here in the middle of October and will load 5700 tons for East London. Her cargo will consist principally of lumber, with Borne flour, wheat, canned salmon and canned fruit The "Vermont Is coming to Portland from San Francisco, for which port she sailed from Mojl, Japan, August 26. Captain Flause commands the Ver mont. Another vessel nearly due Is the well- known German steamship Eva, which is' under time charter to the Pacific Export Lumber Company, and will carry lumber to the Orient. The Eva is due here the latter part of next week. ' The steamer left Portland last July with a similar car go for Port Arthur, and left back from Mojl for San Francisco August 20. The largest vessel of the fleet will be the British steamship Algoa, of 4S97 tons, which has been charatered by the Port land & Asiatic Steamship Company to carry overflow freight from this city to the Orient. The departure of the Algoa from Portland will practically mark the Inauguration of a fortnightly service on this line, as it is understood that .an extra Eteamer will be put on between each sail ing of the regular liners, the business of the Portland & Asiatic having .reached uch proportions as to make this change necessary. The Algoa will sail out be tween the Indrapura and the Indrasamha and will carry 76,000 barrels of flour, the largest shipment ever made from a Pa cific Coast port. Much of the cargo will be landed at Mojl, which has lately be come a flour receiving port. As there is practically no foreign population there, Mojl being a Japanese naval coaling sta tion, it is believed the heavy purchases of breadstuffs has been made in anticipa tion of war with Russia. The regular liner Indrapura was due at the mouth of the river yesterday, but had not been sighted up' to nightfall. So far as is known here, she has no orders to stop at Victoria. The steamer is bring ing a fair cargo and few passengers.' She will leave out on the 2Sth and will be the first of the steamers to return to the regu lar sailing schedule for several months. The Indrasamha, which left Hong Kong on the 14th eastbound, is also back on the regular time. The well-known coasting steamship Lee lanaw is due here October 10, to load a full cargo of wheat and general merchan dise for San Francisco. She Is chartered Tjy Frank Woolsey & Co. The big steamship Yeddo Is at the mills of the Portland Lumbering Company Where a large force of men Is loading her with lumber purchased by the Govern ment for use of the Army in the Philip pines. James Laldlaw & Co. are the charterers of the vessel. Given Up for Lost. The American ship Helen Brewer and the British ship Miltonpark have been withdrawn from the overdue insurance list; the Brewer sailed from Java March 6 for Delaware Breakwater, and the Mil tonpark sailed from London March SI for Fremantle. The overdue Slrius, quoted at CO per cent reinsurance, has arrived safely at Talcahuano, 143 days out from London; as a result of her arrival the rate on the Andora. 149 days out from Baltimore for Iqulque. has been reduced from 25 to 20 per cent. The British steamer, Laurel Branch, 20 days from Coroncl for Punta Arenas, has been listed at a0 per cent. The last named is one of the well-known Branch line, several of which have vis Ited Portland. A RTHRT A Or Sint 17 A minnf ri1 from Algoa Bay, South Africa, stated tlf't the -British ship Arranmore had ar- T Tived there from Portland, Or., after hav ing struck on the bar at Portland, with her steering gear disabled, poop rail dam aged and other slight injuries.- The vessel may have arrived at her port of destina tlpn and there reported Injuries, but they were not received in leaving the Colpmbla River. Captnln C. S. Gunderson, the bar pilot, who took the vessel to sea May 24, says that he has no record or recollection of the vessel having touched bottom in passing out, and at that time Captain Howes, her master, made no mention of her having been injured, nor was there any evidence of it when Captain Gunder son left the vessel outside.

"No, I don't know anything about sheep, but I can tell you a story about a bea:," i said F. M. Smith, of Prlneville, at the' Perkins yesterday. "J. H. Templeton, the druggist in our town, went -hunting on the headwaters of the Deschutes River, and took a shot at a she bear which had two cubs. He hit her and crippled her and was "going to grab one of the cubs, when she started after him. He tried to shoot again, but his gun would not work, so he ran for dear life. He lost his hat in ' his flight and a little farther on dropped his gun. "When he had run about COO yards he looked around and saw no bear, so he sat down to get his breath. Then he started back and In about 400 yards found his gun; he could not And his hat nor the bear. She must have taken It with her." A. B. Conley, of La Grande, who has 15,000 acres of wheat in one body in the Cove country in Eastern Oregon, Is at the Perkins, and says that the heavy rain of last week has beaten down much of the wheat which was not cut, but has not greatly damaged that which was already cut. He does not expect that the har vest will be finished till about November 1. While the crop Is short of that of last year, Mr. Conley says the price Is bet ter. He sold 30,000 bushels a month ago at Co cents, which was a good price then, but the price has since risen to 76 cents. This is due to the active bidding of the millmen, for that price Isnot being paid for export. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 17. Hon. Spencer Lyttelton, of London, a nephew of the late William E.

SLOW TO FIX PRICES Alaska Packers Association Delays. SHORT ON RED SALMON PACK By Holding; Off Announcement of Opening: Pricea, Advance Is' Ex pected and Buyers' Contracts Mar Be Shaken Off. "Why doesn't the Alaska Packers' Asso ciation fix its opening prices for red sal mon? This question Is of high Interest to the trade Just now. Is the "A. P. A." holding 'off so as to put up prices or to shake loose from Its contracts, or to doj both? Is It not far short on home sales? The Pacific Coast pack of "good" sal mon, Including sockeyes and Alaska reds, Is much below last year's output, some authorities placing the shortage as high as 250,000 cases, and others even as high as 1,000,000 cases. The Alaska Packers' As sociation is believed to be holding off for a higher market, not only to secure" ad vanced prices for Its big pack of Alaska reds, but also to get rid of contracts which it cannot All. The Eastern trade has been slow to wake up to the true con ditions of supply, and also slow to fall In with the advancing trend of the mar ket. In some cases buyers have canceled their contracts. But that the trade is adjusting itself to the situation may be Judged from the fact that whereas two weeks ago only 5L10 per dozen was offered for Alaska reds, in the past few "Says $1.17 is known to have been refused. But even $1.17 Is low In the face of the probability that the Alas ka Packers' Association will not open bo low 11.20, and may even go to $1.25 and higher. It is customary for the association to announce prices early in the Spring for the season's pack. This it has done in the past two years. But this season, Sep tember has come and the prices are not yet promulgated. Inasmuch as the bulk of the trading is usually ended toward the last of October, it would seem to be the part of the Association soon to get busy. The big shortage In the British Colum bia output will make an Increased de mand for Alaskas. The almost total fail ure of the association's Puget Sound sock eyes will Intensify that demand, for the association has contracts in England to All, and in order to sustain itself there' will have to -substitute reds. The associ ation has received some 350,000 cases of reds from the North at San Francisco, and has loaded them for England. The English market Is bare, and the as sociation evidently desires to get a close Idea of how much that market will talfe before announcing American prices. .This Information is of unusual importance to the association, inasmuch as the loss of a single cargo In transit would seriously affect the market. The association expected to make a big pack of sockeyes this year, and hoped even for a pack approximating that of 1001, when it put out 307,000. But it is short also on reds about 200,000 cases of its expected pack. The question arises, Where will the association get fish to fill Its contracts if buyers accept at the open ing price? Buyers who have contracts to take sal mon subject to the opening price might balk at paying $1.20 or $L25 and cancel. But the possibility of having to pay more than that later will cause many of them to reconcile themselves to that price. The example of Columbia River prices may be cited. The bulk of the Columbia pack was sold at $1.35. As late as two weeks ago buyers refused to pay $1,45 for fish they could not now touch for "$1.65. The San Francisco Trade Journal of last week says: The market has been somewhat excited on Alaska reds, with sales of 1902 from second hands at $1.15, and Griffith, Durney Co. report a sale up to $1.17. The 3300 cases of 1903 pack reds of the North Pacific Trading & Packing Company were sold a short time ago at $1.10 f. o. b. Se attle, the balance of the year's pack has not come to hand and will not be offered until It arrives. The Alaska Salmon Com pany received 30,000 cases of reds this week, but at this writing we are not able to learn what they are held at. Several vesesls have come in laden for the Alaska Packers' Association, all reds. The bulk of these will go forward, as Is usually the case, to England by sail. Up to this writ ing no one, so far as can be learned, has been able to get any inkling as to what the packers will open at. It may be pos sible that no opening prices will be made this year, pursuing thd same course that has been done with sockeyes for several seasons past. There are all kinds of guesses as to what the price will be ranging from $1.10 to $1.25 per dozen for reds. The following statement shows the shortage of the Alaska Packers' Associa tion: v Reds Cases. 1902 1,019,000 1903 iT. 900.000 Expected 1903 pack 1,200,000 Sockeyes 1901 307.000 1902 78,000 1903 26,700 Expected 1903. pack 250,000 Last year the association sold Its sock eyes In England. It Is generally under stood that this year It made sales up to Its expected pack in sockeyes and reds; subject, however, to price. Inasmuch as Fraser River Is far" under last year's output 175,000 cases and the Northern canneries of British Columbia, also, foreign buying from American pack er has been tremendous. The Alaska Packers Association is the heaviest seller; consequently it has delayed In fixing American prlces. The normal foreign sale of the asso ciation would be 250.000 cases of Alaska reds. This sale- will be greatly augmented by the British Columbia shortage, as the loading at San Francisco for the English market gives evidence. Estimates vary about what the increase will be, but it is conservatively put at 100,000 cases. The above figures make the following exhibit for the Alaska Packers' Associa tion: Total foreign sales of reds SioloOO Total shortage of sockeyes to bo made good with Alaska reds 225.000 Grand total export sales 575.000 Total A. P. A, pack reds 900.000 Balance for home consumption only 375,000 Conservative home consumption.... 750,000 As intimated above by the Trade Jour nal, it seems probable that the association plans the same course with reds as it has pursued with sockeyes during the past two years, 1. e., to make no prices. From the above exhibit It would appear ttiat the association Is, at least, 350,000 cases of red short of home sales, and although the market may warrant $1.25, the price may be set higher to Jar buyers loose. A Puget Sound packer, who was' in Port land several days ago, took a view of the matter as detailed above, and said to The Oregonian: "Buyers needing salmon should not can cel at any figure. Stocks will be short and higher before Spring. Reds are going up. and no more will be in first hands until next August" Body Wan Sent Ennt. The body of Thomas Ryalla, who was found dead In his home on his farm near Montavilla, was started last night for Dodgevllle. Wis., where It will be burled. Mr. Ryalls was nn old timer, having come to Multnomah County in the CO's and set- tied on Sis ranch near 34ontaviHa' In 12576", having; lived alono there ever since. Mrs. John Anderson of Montavilla is a nelce. Two sisters' living In Wisconsin survive him. He was 67 years old. TO CAP THE MONUMENT. Bronze Figure for Loae Star Cem etery 011 the Way. The bronze figure of a soldier bearing a flag, which will surmount shaft of the soldiers' monument in Park Blocks Lone Fir" Cemetery, will arrive in Portland within two weeks. With the four metal Inscriptions which will be attached to the four sides of the die, the figure was or dered the first of the month from Salem, O., and M. L. Pratt, president of the Lone Fir Monument Association, yester day received a letter from the designer and maker saying that the bronze figure had been sent. Mr. Pratt thinks it should reachPortland in two weeks or less. The grounds around the monument are now being improved with concrete walks. The intention is to grade and beautify the grounds in the Spring. These latter Im provements will cost about $350 and the total cost will be fully $3000. The peremony of unveiling will take place as soon as the figure Is in place and the programme will be considered by Sumner Post, G. A. R., tomorrow. It will be made a great occasion. JORDAN WAS AX AGENT. Therefore His Employer Is Liability for Damages Done, by His Team. In the case of A. H. Bastian against C. W. Dresslln to recover $200 damages, tried yesterday in the East Side Court, Justice Waldemar Seton gave the plaintiff Judgment for $100 , damages caused by a team driven by Joseph Jordan at Sellwood on May 25. The decision hinged on the question whether Jordon was employed by or was an agent of Dresslln. The horses and wagon and sewing machines Jordon handled all came from Dressllnfs establishment While Jordon was In a house In Sell wood the team ran away and, colliding with a horse and buggy driven by Bastian, threw the driver out. Injuring him to such an extent that he was laid up for 40 days, and also nearly wrecked Bastlan's buggy. The plaintiff alleged that Jordon was In the employ 'of Dresslln and hence under tho law the latter was responsible for damages. Dresslln testified that Jordon had never been In his employ, that of the outfit Jordon was driving only one of the horses was his property, tho other horse and the wagon belonging to other parties; and further that Jordon was simply traveling on his own responsibility and selling sewing machlneg on commission. With this showing the defendant urged that he was no way responsible for any damages that might result from negligence on tho part of Jordon. Jordon testified that he was working on his own responsibility. Evidence was introduced to show that Jordon was employed by the defendant and that the defendant had admitted this to be a fact. The attorneys on both sides agreed that the law made" the de fendant responsible if Jordon was in the employ of Dresslln. Justice Seton sa'id that he was confident that Jordon, must have been an agent of Dresslln in handling sewing machines, and hence the latter was responsible for actual damages which he placed at $100. WANT BULL RUX WATER. Woodlnwn to Have Improved Street for Laying Water Main. "We have hopes of getting Bull Run water for Woodlawn," jaid J. T. Gregg, chairman of the committee from the Woodlawn Push Club yesterday. Mr. Gregg said that tho committee had laid the matter before Superintendent Frank Dodge and when It was shown him that a large number ofihouses, between oOO and 700, could be supplied he seemed favorably disposed. "Heretofore," said Mr. Gregg, "we have been held off "when we have asked for Bull Run water with the excuse that we had no street Improved and conse quently no main could be laid on an un improved street Now grading has been started on Union avenue, which Is to be Improved from Highland to Dekum ave nue, so that this obstacle Is removed. TOLD GYPSIES TO GET OUT. LicenNeM to Tell Fortune Didn't Go With Policeman Innlfnon. The Gypsies who were driven out of Mllwaukle and had taken up their quart ers In the outskirts of Sellwood, were notified by Policeman Isakson on Wed nesday to leave at once. The authorities of Milwaukie found them a nuisance and Mayor William Shlndler ordered them to leave. Some went South, but others moved their camp to Sellwood against the objections of the residents-. - When Ofllcer Isakson first ordered them to leave, they displayed licenses to tell fortune till the end of September, but he ordered them to move in spite of their licenses. They are not wanted anywhere, and less so in the suburbs, where they find opportunity to harrass the residents and commit robberies. Want Free Mail Delivery.
