COAST GRAIN FLEET
San Francisco Shipments
Still increasing.
MORE STEAMERS ENGAGED
Chlco Sails North Today-Steamship
Claverlng Given "Very Good
Dlspatch--In River Less
Than Ten Days.
The Steamer Aurella -with a full cargo
of grain from Portland, crossed out at
Astoria . yesterday, and the Redondo
which is loading a similar cargo will
sail for San JYancIsco today. The
steamer Chlco has also been pressed into
the grain carrying service and "will sail
north today or tomorrow, and the
Itespatch will follow later in the week.
The California demand for grain of all
kinds is heavier than it has ever been
at a corresponding period, and extra
steamers are on the Puget Sound-San
Francisco run as well as from Portland.
By April first, the wheat shipments alone
from Oregon and Washington ports, will
aggregate 2,000,000 bushels. Had it not
&een lor these heavy shipments from Port
land and Puget Sound, to California,
It would have been impossible for Cali
fornia to haye exported any -wheat this
season, for despite the enormous re
ceipts from the northern ports, the total
exports from San Francisco for the first
eight months of the season, have amount
ed to but L2S7.320 bushels.
Shipments from Tacoma and Seattle
for the same period both coastwise and
foreign amounted to 1,835,592 bushels.
while from Portland the shipments were
3,547,118 bushels, which is slightly more
than from all otner Pacific Coast ports
combined. The demand instead of show
lng signs of abatement is now greater
than ever, and if it continues until new
crop wheat is available, will take up so
rau$h of the remaining stock in the
North, that there will be but a limited
.amount for export after the fleet now
under engagement is out of the way.
HIGHER RATES WANTED.
One British Firm Owns All Disen
gaged Grain Tonnage on Sound.
Recent lumber charters have worked
down the list of disengaged grain ves
sels on Puget Sound to a total of four
big carriers, the Dumfermline, Dun
staffnage, Fortevoit and Samaritan. By
a singular coincidence all four of these
big carriers are owned by one Arm, Mac
vicar, Marshall & Co., and thoy have all
been in port since last Fall; In fact, one
of them, the Dunstaffnage, arrived at
Port Townsend last July. The policy of
holding off for better rates seems to be
one of the characteristics of the firm
owning the vessels, for they also have
a couple laid up in San Francisco. Dur
ing the freight depression about eight
years ago one of their ships, the Cuplca,
was laid up 1n Portland for over a year,
and finally went out at a lower freight
rate than was obtainable when she was
first withdrawn from the market. Since
the arrival of the Dunstaffnage on Pu
get Sound, rates have dropped and re
covered again, but have not yet reached
a point where they would show an ad
vantage gained by the long stay in port.
TO HAVE BOILERS PATCHED.
Dredge Chinook Arrives and Will
Return When Spring Opens.
The dredge Chinook arrived up from
Astoria at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon
and tied up at Martin's wharf. While
here she will undergo necessary repairs,
and before she is needed at the mouth of
the Columbia again will be in first-class
condition. Captain Dunbar Is In command.
The principal repairs will be made to
the boilers, which have been giving con
siderable trouble, by leaking. This will
be remedied by patches.
At which one of the iron works the work
will bo done is not known as yet, as it
will be done by contract. Major W. C.
X&ngfltt, United States Engineer De
partment, stated yesterday evening that
he would advertise for proposals for the
work some time this week. The contract
will probably be awarded some time next
week. How much the work would cost
or how long .it will take is not known as
yet but the dredge will be in condition
for work by the time fair weather on
the bar will make it practicable.
HAD GOOD DISPATCH.
Steamship Claverlng in Port Less
Than Ten Days on First Trip.
The steamer Claverlng, the first regu
lar steamer of the China Commercial
Steamship line to this port, crossed out
from Astoria yesterday en route for the
Orient after a stay of less than ten
days in the river. Her time would have
been even better had it not been for an
unusually large shipment of lumber which
she loaded here, and which occupied
much more time than is the case with
ordinary cargo. The big liner left down
from Portland Saturday morning and
reached Astoria In the afternoon, and
went oil out to sea yesterday morning.
The Portland & Asiatic liner Indravelll.
which arrived down a few hours ahead
of the Claverlng, did not cross out yes
terday as she was drawing a little more
-water than the Claverlng. The bar was
smoothing down a little last evening,
and she will probably cross out this
morning. The two steamers liave on
board about 12,000 tons of cargo.

Commissions in Real Life.
Vancouver Columbian.
Governor McBride, by his course taken
on the commission matter, has rent the
Republican party In twain in this state,
and If all signs are right it will be a good
while before the bond of peace Is again
united. This Is to be regretted, but it
cannot be helped. Mr. McBride' wants to
be Governor again, and he' has a lot of
active lieutenants who are equallr as
lusty in their efforts to make a break
Into the confines of the pie counter. An
Insatiable appetite for office sometimes
makes men forget the duties they owe
to parties or their -country. It Is possible
that many Innocent and well-meaning
men are associated with politicians In
this grab for office, and they see their
mistake after having been jostled into the
fracas. "When they see how It stands
they will be In a hurry to get out. The
commission business Is simply a cry in
order to fool some of the Innocent people
into voting .some men. Into positions of
trust. That is all there is to it, and there
Js no denying it.
DAVID, THE MAHT-SIDED.
Dr. House Draws a Lesson From Life
of the Great King.
Under the title, "The Many-Sided Da
vid," Rev. E. L. House, D. D., preached
at the First Congregational Church yes
terday on the character of the great King
of Israel, whose career Is one of the
romances of the Bible. Dr. House said:
The three great names that loom up above
all others In the Old Testament are Abraham,
Moses and David. Of the three David's life
has the greatest contrasts. He was a peas
ant boy, court minstrel, the champion and
hero of the army, a rival to the King for
the affections of the people; then leaping to
the throne, he becomes lawmaker, general,
bard, statesman, and priest. Mado soft by
luxury, weakened by flattery. In an erll hour
David yields to his passions, and sin sweeps
through bis life like a conflagration sweep
ing through a city. Then comes the swift,
sharp repentance, the open restitution, God's
pardon, and the years of pain, the psalms
and the prayers. Never was there one who
climbed so high and fell so low! Never one
whose repentance was more complete! Ne'cr
one who fought his way so persistently back
toward God and right.
The strategic points of his life are these:
First, how can we account for David's rapid
promotion? The secret of it is explained by
three things on the Divine side and three
things on the human side. On the Divine
side there was a Divine choice, a Divine
preparation and a Divine calling. On the
human side David was courageous, prudent
and devout. For one to possess these quali
ties Is to fit one's self for high service In any
position.
And then David's life has a warning for
us. David was not king of his own heart.
While he captured others' hearts, he never
mastered his own. At one time a great cy
clone smote his little boat of life, and it was
upset in a moment. Happy Indeed the man
who goes through all the thunder of life's
battle and comes out without the smell of
smoke or Are upon bis garments. Thank
God, David's life teaches us that there Is a
place of repentance, there is a rift in the
skies, for him who looks upward, and one
can lay his head alongside of the Master's
heart and find peace.
And now, no lesson Is more important than
this. We' must be careful how we judge a
man's life. When we turn to the details
of David's life we find many things' that are
out of accord with truth and nobleness.
Were we to Judge the man during these dis
astrous hours of wicked abandonment we
should place him among the worst of man
kind. But tho one wrong moment in which
to Judge a man is when the subtlety of
temptation or the frenzy of passion Is master
of him. At that moment he is not himself.
Let him come to himself. Then Is the time
to Judge. Should he laugh at his frenzy, or
look with coolness upon the moral wreckage
his conduct has produced, you will know
what to think of him. He Is a bad man-
But should he bend his bead in grief, should
he pass from an agony of contrition to an
honest endeavor to repair the mischief, he is
to be trusted and helped. It is on this prin
ciple that we judge David's life. On this
principle, with which God dealt with David,
let us judge ono another.

DON'T KNOW IT ALL
Blunders of Alaska Fishery.
Commissioners.
ONLY TRIO OF SCIENTISTS
Professor Jordan Makes Mistakes In
Classifying Salmon-Dangerous
Power Proposed for Secre
tary of Commerce.
James I. Barron, president of the Alaska
Fisheries Association, who has just -re
turned from Seattle to Portland, makes
some serious criticisms on the report of
the Government Commission which inves
tigated the Alaska salmon fisheries last
season. He finds fault with the composi
tion of the commission and with Its find
ings, particularly those of Professor David
Starr Jordan. He said:
"I have read the report and consider It
one of the most Important and exhaustive
documents published by the Government
relating to Lie salmon Industries. It is
too important to be adequately criticised
offhand. Tho recommendations by the
commission to establish- Government
hatcheries, and to rescind the treasury
order forbidding flsnlng in Southeastern
Alaska before June 30 are largely the ro
sults of efforts of the Salmon Association
to enlighten the department on these ques
tlons.
"It Is unfortunate that the salmon com
mission was not made up according to
the original plan of President Roosevelt,
outlined in his letter of November 8,
1902, to the Commissioner of Fish and Fish
cries. In that letter he said:
" 'As an act of courtesy, and because
of the large Alaskan fishery Interests of
the people of the Pacific States, it is sug
gested that the proper authorities of these
states be invited to name one representa
tive on the special commission.'
"If attention had been given to this
recommendation, the commission would
probably nave in its service some practi
cal cannerymen, whose experience would
have helped the commission very much.
As it was the commission was made up
of men exceptionally strong on scientific
questions, but lacking in experience on
the practical matters relating to the sal
mon industry. President Jordan knows
more about the natural history of fishes
than perhaps any man living, but in the
practical matters of catching, canning and
packing salmon, and marketing tne prod
Act. he is not an expert. Salmon pack
ers and dealers who have long experi
ence in these lines find fault with his at
tempt to fix the relative food values and
market values.
Where Dr. Jordan Erred.
"As a matter of fact, the relative mar
ket values of the five species of salmon
found on page eight of the report never
prevailed; and, in reality, there is very
little difference between the food values
of red salmon and lighter colored salmon.
"It is unfortunate that President Jor
dan's personal prejudices against all sal
mon that Is not red in color should find
space In a Governmental report. His
views on these questions do not accord
with those of men of long years of practi
cal experience in these matters. Take,
for Instance, his recommendation In re
gard to labeling of salmon, on page 16
of that report, that 'the name "medium
red" should be discouraged as giving a
false impression.' This would prove a
very mischievous measure, for very sub
stantial reasons. Medium red designates
properly for the markets of the world
Alaska Coho salmon. As such the canned
product Is distinguished from the Coho
salmon of Puget Sound or the Columbia
River and Oregon Coast silver salmon,
and brings a better price, because the
Alaska Coho is a higher grade fish than
the same species elsewhere on the Coast.
In truth, while there are five species of
Pacific salmon, the market does not dis
tinguish salmon In that way. Tne
Chinook, the blueback and silverside sal
mon of the Columbia River are sold as
Columbia River salmon; the salmon of

OX PUGET SOUXD
Paget Sound is known and designated by
the popular names of each species of
fish, and sold as Puget Sound salmon.
Classification of Salmon.
On Pneet Sound the chlnook salmon Is
known as Spring salmon, tho silverside as
Coho, the blueback as cockeye. In Alaska
the chlnook Is known aa king saimon, the
sockeya as red Alaska, the silverside as
medium red, and the humpback, as It Is
labeled on Puget Sound, la aesignatea as
pink Alaska. Dog salmon Is designated as J
chum wherever put up.
The .Oregon and Washington coast
salmon are outside of these classifica
tions. In short, to the market, Alaska
salmon is known and designated accord
ing to color. Puget Sound salmon accord
ing to the specific name of the salmon,
and Columbia River by locality.
With the exception of sllversldes, Co
lumbia River salmon ranks first m qual
ity, Puget Sound second and Alaska third.
but as to sllversioes, uonos ana Aiasna
medium red, they grade In the reverse
order, the Alaska medium red taking first
rank.
Although there are only five species of
salmon, there are over a dozen distinct
qualities of fish, grading down from Co
lumbia River chlnook as the best to tho
chum as the cheapest. This Is an arbi
trary rating of a world market, built up
In the course of the history of the Paciflo
Coast salmon industry, and Is not mis
leading. On the contrary, the Alaska
Coho under any other name than "medium
red" would mislead the. market.
Custom Is stronger than law, and It is
not a wis? policy to change market classi
fications, unless for some sound reason,
and none Is offered or can be offered for
changing by law the custom of brandlns
Alaska Coho salmon as medium red. The
change in this respect recommended by
Professor Jordan would be a most mis
chievous and uncalled-for measure.
In appendix "B" of the salmon com-
mlsloners report Js a draft of a statute
recommended for passage In order to sup
plant the one now In force regulating fish
ing. With the exception or section ihi,
this measure Is unobjectionable. Section
181 reads as follows:
"That the Secretary of Commerce and
Labor is fully empowered and authorized
to establish and promulgate regulations
governing and controlling the salmon
fisheries of the district of Alaska, and
that such regulations shall have the full
effect and force of law.
Too Much Power.
It Is a most dangerous power to lodge
In the hands of any one man or set of
men the authority to legislate In all mat
tens governing and controlling any In
dustry. In a district remote from the seat
of government, the power vested in the
Secretary would necessarily be wielded
by subordinates, and thus it would, in
such hands, become doubly dangerous. It
is, besides, as repugnant to Democratic
Ideals and Republican political policy as
it is mischievous and dangerous in prin
ciple. ,
Our experience under the law as it now
stands, under which the department has
a limited power of regulation, is warrant
enough for this statement. Cannerymen
have, been served on short notice by im
perative regulations, requiring the estab
llshment of private hatcheries producing a
certain number of salmon annually, which
the present commission found to be who!
ly Impracticable and impossible of ful
fillment. Canners were also restricted by
a regulation promulgated last year from
fishing before June 1. This regulation was
also found to be unnecessary and burden
some. Packers were cited by notice pub
llshed In the newspapers to appear before
the .Secretary of the Treasury at "Wash
ington, D. C, in June and July, when they
were at tneir lisning grounds in Alaska,
where they could see no such notice, ex
cept by chance. In short, those engaged
In the salmon fishing business in Alaska
did not know from one season to another
whether they were afoot or on horseback
In respect to the laws. Human nature is
human nature everywhere, but more so In
Alaskan officials clothed with a little brief
authority.
According to the press dispatches of last
week. Representative Humphrey and Sen
ator Fulton fathered two new Alaska bills
affecting salmon fisheries, the last one re
ferred to, and the other respecting the la
bellng of salmon. Neither of these meas
ures In their present form commend them
selves to Alaska salmon fishermen, and
the people's representatives should not be
averse to taking council with the men who
do busines in Alaska. The one great weak
ness of all legislation proposed, for
Alaska Is that the advice of thosa direct
ly interested in such legislation is seldom
sought, and impractical sentimentalists,
theorists and placehunters have a more
potent guiding Influence in shaping all
legislative measures.
Outlook in Alaska.
Questioned as to the outlook in salmon,
Mr. Barron observed:
The salmon outlook for the coming sea
son is very good. Southeastern Alaska,
however, has received a staggering blow
from the piratical war waged by the
AN EMPTY TREASURY.
And a big county debt were left
t over by the Simon administra
tion. If taxes nave been high, It
Is largely due to this, and to the
state appropriations for the
Fair, the canal, and the Veter- t
ans of the Indian Wars, besides
the Port of Portland and school
levy. No juggling of figures can .
disguise these facts. The regu-
lar Republican ticket should re- i
celve the support of every Re
publican. Alaska Packers' Association against pink
salmon. On account of .the reduction of
the price, away below cost, over a dozen
canneries In that district have been closed
up. Over a year ago the Alaska packers
made this radical cut in their pink
salmon, and in doing so announced that
it was their purpose to drive the cheaper
grades out of the market. In other words,
they meant to kill off their competitors,
In this they have succeeded to such an ex
tent that the industry in Southeastern
Alaska .will never again be the same,
Some canners have torn down their build
ings and taken materials and machinery
to Western Alaska, where red salmon are
found in abundance, but the majority are
crippled financially, and will not operate
again. In this connection I would say
that Portland Interests are with the can
ners of Southeastern Alaska, where It en
joys a big trade, rather than "Western
sweumgs, urighrs auease. etc.

ANOTHER SLICE OIF DEBT.
Centenary Church Will Have It All
- Paid by March 28.
At the services in Centenary Methodist
Episcopal Church yesterday morning it
was reported that over one-fourth of the
debt 510,000 bad been subscribed, leaving
$7434 yet to be provided. However, the
pastor. Rev. W. B. Holllngshead. in mak
ing the financial statement, remarked that
the actual reduction was considerably
more than, these figures might Indicate,
as some subscriptions had been handed
In too late to appear In the report for the
past week, so that the subscriptions ran
up closely to 53000 at the close of Sun
day. Tho pastor said that the progress
being made was satisfactory, but It was
now proposed to fix the date for closing
the debt campaign as Monday, March 28.
Heretofore no limit had been fixed and
no active canvass for pledges has been
made. He announmed that exactly one-
iourth of the contributing members of the
church had made pledges and th.at if the
remaining three-fourths will do as well
the amount raised will be 210.264.
The trustees, official members, officers
of the Sunday school. Epworth League,
Junior League and ladles' societies will
hold a special meeting this evening in the
lecture-room of the church at 8 o'clock
to confer with tho pastor.
Mr. Holllngshead in his sermon yester
day morning spoke very optimistically on
the outlook, said he believed In Centenary
Church mora than ever, and emphasized
tho thought that giving was one of the
true characteristics of the real Christian
worker. To lift the great burden of debt
the grinding obligation that had rested
on Centenary for so many years meant
very great sacrifices. He knew many of
the one-quarter who had subscribed al
ready had taken upon their shoulders a
very great sacrifice. "Very few churches.
remarked Mr. Holllngshead, could under
take the work Centenary had undertaken
at this time.
