THE MOKNI27G OKEGONIAN, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1904. It BIG COASTING FLEET February Arrivals and De partures Break Records. QUADRUPLED IN FOUR YEARS Portland the Most Prominent Port in the Northwest for Coasting Vessels-Two Fast Schooners Arrive. Exclusive of the small steamers be tween Astoria and Tillamook, 42 coast ers crossed in and out of tho Columbia River during tho flrst half of the short month of February. The growth of this coasting traffic In and out of Portland has been tho most romakable feature of the maritime trade of the Columbia Hiver, and this port Is now In the front rank in this kind of water traffic. According to the records of the Merchants' Exchange, the traffic for the first half of February has more than doubled since last year at a corresponding period; is nearly three times as largo as for tho same period In 1902; more than four times as large as in 1901, and nearly five times as large as In 1900. These figures are based on the nu merical strength of tho fleet, but as the vessels now coming to the port are much larger than those which came In former years, tho tonnage comparison would make an even greater comparative gain. The statement of tho arrivals and de partures of Columbia River coasters for the first two weeks of February, for the past five years as shown by the records tof tho exchange is as follows: fear.

Out of a total of 299 coasters, exclusive of the steamers on regular runs, the Guide's tables show more en route for. In port, or sailing from Portland, than are credited to any other North Pacific port. Of the 299 coasters men tioned, the Guide credits them as follows: Portland, 41; Gray's Harbor, 36; Seattle, 33; Tacoma, 31; Port Townsend, 31; Bal lard. 12; Astoria, 10; "Wlllapa. Coqullle, Everett, Coos Bay, 9 each; TJmpo.ua, Port Gamble. Port Hadlock, 6 each; Port Blake ly, 4; Blains, FaJrhavea and Anacortes, S each; Tillamook, Siuslaw, Port Ludlow and Olympia, 2 each; Eagle Harbor, What com, Roche Harbor and Port Angeles, 1 each. Notwithstanding this large increase in coasting marine traffic, the deep water business out of the port has not suffered by comparison with that of other ports. There are more ships in Portland under charter for foreign grain loading, than In all other Pacific Coast ports combined, and the en route list of vessels suitable for grain loading is larger than headed pir any other IsortV Paclflo port. WAGES WERE TOO HIGH. Puget Sound Stevedoring Firm Claims Labor Unions Closed Them Out. Rennle & Grant, Puget Sound steve dores, have retired from the field, and in a circular letter to shipowners and others give the reason for their retirement as follows: "In Juno of last year we commenced tho business of lumber stevedores on Puget Sound, believing that we had from our experience of several years past a fair idea of the cost of loading, and we made a flat rate of $1.03 per thousaid feet. Owing to the general amalgamation of labor unions, and their unreasonable demands, the cost of labor has advanced recently; and now the cost of loading cargoes, as compared formerly when wages were of a uniform rate of 35 cents per hour. Is very much increased. The Unions now, and they are all-powerful, fxact a rate of 40 and 50 cents an hour for straight time, and 60 and 75 cents per hour for ovortlme, and 50 cents per hour for any work performed on account of ship; consequently, vessels that for merly cost the stevedores from 90 cents per thousand feet and upward have under Union rules increased the cost In many cases fully 25 per cent or more. For rea sons above stated we have decided to Withdraw from the field." JETTY NOT FURTHER DAMAGED Work on Breakwater Will Soon Be Resumed and Hastened. ASTORIA, Or., Fob. 14. Despite the prevalence of heavy weather during the past week, no further damage has been done to the Columbia River Jetty other than that occurring 10 days ago. when a gap 3S4 feet in length was torn in the breakwater near tho outer end. The storm of Thursday was even more sovore than tho previous gale, but the jetty held Bgalnst it. Preparations are being made at the mcuth of the river to rush the work on the jetty during the coming Spring and Summer. It is understood tho rock de livery will be resumed within 30 days, and that as soon as good weather comes work cn extending the breakwator will be pushed. The Northwest Construction Company is preparing to continue its rock contract on tm extensive scale, and the first of a series of blasts was exploded Saturday, with pood results. Blasts to be exploded this week will be small ones, about two or thrco tons of powder being used for each. SUCCESSFUL EX-PORTLANDERS McCabe, Sprague & Buddy Now Con trol Sound Stevedoring Business. Three ex-Portlanders are now In con trol of the stevedoring business on Puget Bound. William McCabe. formerly of the firm of Brown & McCabe of this city, and founder of the stevedoring business of McCabe & Hamilton on Puget Sound has purchased the Interest of the late Sen ator Hamilton from Mrs. Hamilton. His partners in the business are Robert Bud dy, for nearly 28 years with Brown & McCabe In this city, and Captain Clark V. Sprague. who guided the old Wide West. R. R. Thompson and other palatial O. R. & N. steamers up and down the Columbia "la the good old Summertime." many years ago. All of this trio are well and favorably known on the Portland Water front, and unless they have changed their dispositions, there are few if any more popular men on the Tacoma and Seattle water front than "Billy" McCabe "Woody" Sprague and "Bob" Buddy. ' TEES HAULED OFF ROCKS. Canadian Pacific Steamer Is Not Damaged Very Badly. "VICTORIA, B. C, Feb. 14. The Cana fitan Pacific steamer Tees was hauled nff Trial Island rocks at high tide this mcrnlng and taken to the Esquimau ma rine ways for repairs. She escaped with marvellously slight damage, considering the circumstances, the vessel having run upon a jagged reef almost at full speed. The b'ig tugs did the hauling and- had not much difficulty. CLEAR 17 LUMBER CARGOES. Record at Astoria for the First Two Weeks of February. ASTORIA, Or., Feb. 14. Seventeen lum ber cargoes have been cleared from Co lumbia River points during the first two weeks of the month, the shipments ag gregating almost 10,000,000 feet. The month promises to be a record -breaker In this respect. The Lower Columbia River logging camps are gradually resuming operations, after idleness of several months. Com paratively little rain has fallen of late, with the result that logs still remain above tidewater. In consequence prices are $7 and 53. and If the rainfall Is not greater ere long the price will go still higher. Local lumbermen express confi dence that the market will continue to Improve, and that lumber prices will be good this year. To Survey Lumber Vessels. The Board of Marine Underwriters of San Francisco, have appointed Captain Albert Crowe, of this city, surveyor of lumber vessels for the board, for the dis trict of Columbia and Willamette Rivers, and places adjacent. A circular letter to that effect, bearing date February 9, has been received. Captain Crowe is a mem ber of the firm of Anderson & Crowe, of this city. Prior to has taking up his res idence In this city he was master and part owner of the famous clipper Mus koka. Two Fast Schooners. The incoming coasters have been mak ing good passages up from California. The Sailor Boy, which arrived In Satur day, -was only out six days from San Francisco, and yesterday the J. II. Weath erwax arrived at Astoria, seven days out from San Francisco. The W. F. Witze mann, which also arrived In yesterday, did not make such a good Jshowlng. She came from San Pedro, and was IS days on the way. Chinook Works on the Bar. ASTORIA, Or., Feb. 14. During calm weather yesterday the dredge Chinook put In a good day working on tho bar, and made several trips to sea. While storms prevailed the dredge worked inside the heads, where the river channel has been materially deepened. Th Govern ment tug Mendell has been delayed making soundings on the Tsar by bad weather, but it Is authoritatively stated two more working days will complete this work, the result of which Is awaited with great interest, as it will show what the Chinook has accomplished. A statement as to the soundings thus far made is not obtainable. W. H. Harrison in a Gale. NEWPORT, Or., Feb. 14. The steam schooner W. H.

SHOULD DISTRIBUTE FRUIT. How to Advertise Oregon at St. Louis Exposition. TREMONT. Or.. Feb. 9. (To the Editor.) Tne letter in yesterday's Oregonian from C. XL Idleman Is timely and to the point, and expresses the sentiments of all who have ever had any experience at exposi tions, or who have in any way come In contact with our friends of the Eastern State3, who have such erroneous ideas of the West. Although not wishing to pose as a "kicker," yet I do not think Mr. Idleman's letter covers the whole ground, and, with your permission, I will add a few suggestions founded upon observa tion. I consider it more Important to acquaint the Easterners with the conditions of Ore gon today than with what they were a century ago, and, as the St. Louis Expo sition is most likely to be the last great exposition to be held on this continent for many generations to come, we should strain every effort to show our state's great resources and possibilities, and to Instruct the millions of visitors by means of the best object . lessons what our commonwealth can produce, by dis playing the very best of everything that is "grown In Oregon," "made In Oregon," "mined In Oregon" and "bred In Oregon," for at these great expositions states, nations, corporations and indi viduals vie with each other in endeavoring to establish the superiority of their re spective countries and localities, and every ingenious device will be utilized to illus trate the magnitude of their resources and the variety of their products. In this Oregon should take her place at of near the head of all competitors, and by all means should avoid making any "unfor tunate mistakes." If we expect to make our Lewis and Clark Fair a success, it Con signees. From. Roux 1741 Antwerp 153Balfour iiNrrt.uiv.ej n 1509Antwerp 1714Rotterdam 1738. Antwerp lK9jP. L.

E. OX PCGET SOUXD will require a great deal of hard work and judicious management at St. Louis, which is a great manufacturing center and consumes enormous quantities of raw ma terial. Besides, throughout the Mississippi Valley, which Is tributary to St. Louis, there are many important manufacturing cities and towns of lesser population where are to be found markets for the va rious products of our Btate. St. Louis is also an Important financial center, and her men of capital are large Investors In all parts of the world, and. as the min ing, lumber, dairying, horticultural, agri cultural and fishing resources of our state offer such attractive fields for Invest ment, It Is of the greatest Importance to Oregon to have our possibilities in these directions thoroughly represented at the St. Louis Exposition. The Mississippi Val ley was settled by people of an adventur ous spirit, and Is now peopled by their sons and daughters who have Inherited Ip a measure the same desire to participate in the development of new enterprises and the upbuilding of new commercial centers, and If we can enlist them in the develop ment of some of our many Industries an advantage will have been gained such as will be impossible to estimate. Oregon Is too great, too progressive and two prosperous to lug behind in the grand display of the world's resources, and we must let the millions who visit St. Louis Exposition know what we have and who we arc, for we need more people, more in vestors and more factories, to convert our crude material into finished products. This opportunity to push Oregon to the front, to attract new people, and to bring in new capital Is too Important to be overlooked, and we should, and can, be one of the best. If not the very best, rep resented states in the Union. Much of the success of our own Fair will depend upon the impression made upon the minds of Eastern people by our display at St. Louis, as they will not be likely to cross tho :ontIncnt to see the same displays that were on exhibition there, and with, which they are familiar. But people will want to see the products of the great North west, and they will want to see tho land that can produce such wonderful fruit, grain, big timber, precious metals and fish. Therefore we should endeavor to mako our exposition different from any of its predecessors by making It not only a display of our wonderful resources, but of the products of the Orient. We must Introduce unique and novel features and avoid patterning after the failures of other expositions. We should take advantage of the ex perience of those who have had expensive state buildings at other expositions. At the Columbian Exposition nearly one-half of the states of the Union and many for eign countries had their buildings erected and furnished elaborately at great ex pense, which was a dead loss to them, and many were the subjects of scandals. At the Trans-Mississippi there were but seven or eight state buildings. At Buf falo there were about a dozen, while at Charleston there were but four. I fully agree with Mr. Idleman that the building of a fac simile of Fort Clatsop Is a mistake, as a great majority of the Eastern people have the idea that out here In Oregon we still live In log huts and hollow trees, and are in dally danger of being massacered by the Indians. Nothing will strengthen their ideas more than to put up a log fort and stockade as a state building right alongside of New York's palatial $60,000 state building. A comparison of the two would make us look like 30 cents, and If the mistake can not be remedied It could at least be mod eled by making it strictly a Lewis and Clark building and not call it an Oregon State building, and would It not be wise and benefit our state more if the money expended In erecting and furnishing a state building were used here at home in buying fruit from our people and taking it to St. Louis for distribution among visitors, thus returning some of the money to our own people, who have been heavily taxed to make displays? At the same time it would advertise the superior qualities of our fruits by introducing them to the Eastern consumers. At Chicago on California day their com missioners had a tralnload of fruit put up In small baskets, which were given away to visitors. This was tho means of build ing up over tho East a demand for Cali fornia fruit greater than they could sup ply, and they have been buying our fruit and shipping it East as California fruit ever since. On Utah, day their people gave out thousands of small jars of Utah honey, and small skeins of raw silk, re sulting In the "Mormon honey," as it was called in the East, being in greater de mand at better figures than the famous California white sage honey. At Omaha the State ot Texas brought in a carload of watermelons and distributed them among the people. On Georgia day their people gave away several carloads of melons from their state, after which the melon growers from Rockford, Colorado, sent In a largo tralnload all that two engines could haul of watermelons, muskmelons and cantaloupes; brought them to the grounds, put up a large tent, employed 100 men to cut and distribute them, and everybody feasted on free melons for a week, and when they could give no more away they distributed them among the various charitable institutions In the city. The result Is that where formerly there were ten acres In melons at Rockyford there are now 100 acres, and where they formerly shipped their fruit only to Oma ha and Kansas City they now supply it to every city on the Atlantic Coast by train loads, and where Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington formerly got their melons from New Or leans, Savannah or Charleston, they are now supplied from Colorado. Two years ago, when I would mention melons In the East the flrst question was. How do they compare with those .from Rockyford? At the Pan-American, the California people gave away tons of raisins done up in "neat half-pound packages, and besides they distributed figs, prunes, nuts, wine and olive oil, thus introducing their prod ucts to the Eastern consumer and creat ing a ready market for their products. Would it not be well for our commis sioners to buy up some of our dried prunes and other fruits, put up small packages and give them out at the St. Louis Fair, and thus acquaint the visitors with the superior quality of our Oregon fruit, which would be the means ot bring ing many people to our state who would want to invest in land that can produce such fine fruit, and many would make their homes with us. All who have been In any way connected with the Oregon displays at any of the great expositions in the past know tho awkwardness of elabo rating upon the wonderful productiveness of our soil, tho great quantities and cheap ness of our fruits and then have to re fuse to give away a single cherry. A. W. MILLER. N0BT0N IS INITIATED. He Nerves Himself to the Ordeal With Superhuman Fortitude. The Initiation of J. Allen Norton Into the secrets ot the third degree of the Alpha Kappa Kappa Fraternity caused a small sensation in the Winter Garden Saturday night. The meeting was held ( in the offices of Dr. A. D. Walker, Third and Alder streets. The candidate was first sworn to obey all orders, then dressed in a sur geon's dissecting robe. His orders were to go to the Winter Garden in this garb and order six glasses of beer. "You are not to say a word to any one except the waiter," he was told, 'and you can do as you like about drinklng'the beer." To show that he had the real nerve needed for his membership, the candidate marched straight Into the Winter Garden and ordered six beers. The programme rendered for the entertainment of the guests was forgotten and all turned atten tion toward their strange-looking visitor. With the curious eyes of the whole house directed toward him, he drank the six glasses, one after the other, and, look ing around, saw that four members of the Fraternity had followed him. "Take them a drink," he ordered the waiter, and his request was complied with. The boys felt that he had turned the joke toward them somewhat, so to make It their own again, one ot the number told tho waiter to take the strange indi vidual six more beers. By this time the members of the crowd were applauding wildly, and the candidate for fraternal honors joined them in their applause. When the beers were lined up before him. he surveyed them with a foreboding smile, then his look turned to one of de termination, and he drank them as fast as he could lift them from the table. At this feat the crowd applauded even more than before, and several cheers arose as he started to leave. The Alpha Kappa Kappa Is one ot two medical fraternities of that chapter on the Coast. This one is in connection with the medical department of the State Univer sity of Oregon, and the other Is in San Francisco. The grand secretary of the order will visit Portland during the first part of March, at which time a grand reception and banquet will be given at the Hotel Portland. J. C. Cook, the grand secretary, will initiate this society Into the' grand chapter at the time of his visit. STEU0K BY STBEET-CAB. Chinaman's Skull Is Fractured, and He Dies Within a Few Hours. Chin Ghen, an old Chinese woodcutter, was -struck by a street-car last night at Third and Pine streets and died at 11:30 o'clock. He was picked up in an uncon scious condition and taken to the Good Samaritan Hospital. His scalp was badly cut and bruised, and it was found that his skull was fractured. The accident hapjiened about 7:30. An S car was going at full speed north on Third street. S. D. Payton, the motor man, and J. A. Bradt, the conductor, had charge of the car. The Chinaman did not see the car until it was very close to him, then he tried to run across the track In front of it. Ho was struck and thrown several feet from the track. He did not regain consciousness after the fall. ADVERTISED.
