THE MORNING OBEGONIAK, MONDAY, MAY 9, 1904. II FREIGHT WANTED Oriential Liners. Are Running Light, POOR OUTLOOK FOR J. J. HILL Last Four Steamships Sailing From Pacific 'Coast Carried In Aggre gate Less Than One Cargo for His Big Steamers. The announcement that the first of the Great Northern mammoth freighters would leave for the Pacific Coast in a few weeks, has awakened renewed Interest in the "big vessels, and shippers are again wondering where Mr. Hill will secure cargoes for them. In view of the fact that it Is impossible for the transporta tion companies to secure cargoes for the much smaller carriers now plying to the Orient the universal sentiment seems to be that the mammoth liners will sail for a long time in very light ballast trim, or else remain at the docks. The condition of the Oriental business out of Pacific Coast ports is pretty well illustrated by the cargoes taken out by the last steam ers leaving San Francisco, Portland and !Puget Sound. The last vessel to leave San Francisco was the mammoth Mon golia, the largest snip on the Pacific Ocean. This vessel is several thousand tons smaller capacity than the big Hill liners, and despite the fact that a special effort was made to fill her on the maiden trip, she sailed from San Francisco Saturday with less than half a cargo. From Port land the Indrasamha, an 8000-ton steamer, sailed last week with but little over -2500 tons. From Puget Sound the British eteamer Agamemnon, a 12,000-ton carrier, sailed u few days ago with but 2S00 ton3, end a small portion of this was for Europe and Australia. The showing made by the Puget Sound ports is all the more re markable when it is considered that the Japanese line which has been sending from two to three steamers a month to Seattle, has been withdrawn so that the Agamemnon had a clean field for the freight of both Seattle and Tacoma. In this connection it might bo mentioned that the Canadian Pacific steamer Em press of China, which sailed from "Van couver a few days ago, carried 750 tons ol flour from Seattle and Tacoma. Tiese four steamers left the respective ports, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle and Tacoma and Vancouver and their ag gregate cargoes were insufficient to fill one of Mr. Hill's big steamers, which It is now stated he will send to the Coast Within a few months. Admitting that Mr. Hill will have a clean sweep of the Puget Sound freight and will drive the steamers now there from the route, and he must still face the competition of the Canadian Pacific, the Portland & Asiatic and the Pacific Mail Steamship Com panies. These lines will continue to operate boats of a size that will admit of a frequent service and to meet this competition. Mr. Hill must have an equally frequent schedule. It is reported that he will have a schedule which will admit of a steamer every three or four weeks and to do this will take over the mammoth freighters Shawmut and Tre xnont now on the route. If his two big roads are now unable to rustle up more than one-fourth of a cargo for a 12,000 toa eteamer, it will b interesting to learn now ho will fill up his 30,000-ton carriers. The Puget Sound lines will never again have the opportunity to draw flour ship ments by rail from Portland for trans shipment to the Orient, as Mr. Harriman has made arrangement for vessels from his San Francisco line to come north and help out the Portland & Asiatic line whenever freight offerings are in excess of the facilities of the regular line. The improved facilities here will also draw to Portland considerable business that in the past has been diverted to Seattle by rea son of better facilities there. Altojrother the outlook ror full cargoes for the Min nesota and Dakota is far from roseate. THE HISTORIC DOVENBY. Vessel Bearing the Name of an Old Timer Headed for Portland. Tho British bark Dovenby sailed from xqutqui lor tnis port Jast week, presum ably "seeking." althouch them is n. nnn. stblllty that sho has been chartered for jumDer. ino uovenby is a historic name along the Portland waterfront, and form erly adorned a vessel that made a record for carrying more cargoes from Portland to Europe than were ever taken out by any other vessel before or since her time. The old Dovenby which preceded the one now en route for Portland, first came to this port in 1871. and In tho suc ceeding 17 years carried to Europe 11 cargoes of wheat flour and salmon. Henry Hewitt, still prominent In marine circles to this city, dispatched the Dovenbv on her flrat voyage from Portland In October 1871 with 45.770 bushels of wheat valued at 563.163. Her next trip was In Novem ber, 1874, when she was cloared by Savier & Co. with 13,626 bushels of wheat and 10,000 barrels of flour, rhe Salem Flour ing Mills dispatched hero In February, 1876, with 17,303 bushels of wheat and 8652 barrels of flour, and again In March, 1877, with a full cargo of 14,260 barrels of flour. W. S. Sibson, the dean of all wheat ex porters still in the service in this port, dispatched tho vessel In July, 1S7S, with 3496 barrels of flour and 25,500 cases of salmon, and Henry Hewitt again sent her out in October, 1S79, with 46.945 bushels of wheat valued at $50,620. In February. 1S71, she was cleared by Sibson, Church & Co., with flour and salmon, and in October, 1SS3. Balfour. Guthrie & Co. loaded her. Tho Dovenby's last three voyages from Portland were in February. 18S5; March. 1SS6, and October, 1SSS. C. Caesar & Co. dispatched her on all three of these voyages, and she carried 46.473, 46,406 and 46,443 bushels respec tively. Tho records at the Merchants Exchange show quite a number of old-time vesse's which carried from seven to nine cargoes from this port, but the old Dovenby's record stands alone, and will probably never be touched by any other grain ship In the trade. The new Dovenby was built about ten years ago and has never visited Portland. THE DISAPPEARING SAILERS. Lose Their Identity, but Retain Their Earning Capacity Under New Flag. The Norwegians seem to have more faith In the value of sailing ships at the present time than is displayed by any other country and they are buying them wherever they are obtainable. The. Nor wegians always change the name with the flag, and for that reason a great many well-known vessels annually drop out of sight and are never recognised under their new names. The Norwegians have been strictly Impartial as to flag in their recent purchases of vessels well known in the Portland grain trade. Mr. Hansen bought the German bark G. H. Wappaus and re named her the Guldregn. Mr. Olsen pur chased tho French bark Jules Verne and she is now the Norwegian bark Francis Hagerup. The old-timer Peebleshlre. which was a frequent visitor in the early f days In the grain trade In this port, has been sold to Mr. Jacobson, and Is now the Berglolt, and the County of Caithness has become the Sofia. The B. C. Bickmera Is now the Nordstjernen, and the City of Xing Po, an iron bark built more than 40 years ago. Is the ValhaL German shipowners made fortunes dur ing the last previous depression in ship ping, by buying up all of the British ves sels obtainable at very low rates, and it is not unlikely that the Norwegians may enjoy a similar piece of good luck when the periodical revival in freight comes round.

Pioneer Comes From Far East and Talks of Gold-Mining Days. "The first Job I got in Portland was cut ting cordwood," said C. C. Gardiner, of Charlottetown, P. E. L, at the Perkins yesterday, "and my partner and I cut down several trees right around where the Portland Hotel is now. I remember the trees were very big." Mr. Gardiner came to Portland in 1858 from Sa Francisco, on his way to the Fraser Hlver gold fields, and, although he has not been engaged in business for 30 years, he makes periodical visits from his home in the Gulf of St. Lawrence to the scenes of his early labors. "Yes, sir," said Mr. Gardiner, "my part ner and I didn't know just what to do when we reached Portland. TVe had In tended going up into British Columbia by cutting across country from The Dalles, but when we got this far we heard that Colonel Steptoe had Just been defeated by the Indians, and that there was no chance to make our journey In safety by this route. So we walked to Olympia and from there we sailed In the Constitution to Port Townsend, thence to Seattle, which didn't exist at all then, and thence to Belllngham Bay. "At Belllngham Bay, where Whatcom and Falrhaven are now, there were at least 10.000 people camped, mostly from San Francisco, and all on their way to the new gold fields. It was hard to get transportation, but a party of us finally bought a canoe for $135, loaded it with provisions and started for the FraBer River. Somewhere along the way we met a Hudson Bay trader, who told us that a route called the Harrison River route was the best, and we went this way. "At that time the Indians of the Interior were not afraid of the whites, and were in many cases openly hostile. We met some .Indians, who before they would ferry us across a lake stole our kettle and then made us bring It back. As soon as we had done this they etole It again, and we had to buy it back several times before they would leave It with us. Finally we got to the Fraser, and while we found gold, we didn't find It in sufficient quan tities to do more than pay wages. So we returned to California." "With his wife, Mr. Gardiner has -been spending the Winter in Los Angeles. He is now returning to the less hospitable climate of Prince Edward Island, but pro poses to come to the Pacific Coast again next season. "I made some money years ago In Cali fornia," said Mr. Gardiner, "and I have frequently visiter Portland and the South ern cities since. The last time I was here was four years ago, and the changes since then are quite marked. Loa Angeles, however, has changed. more than Port land, She harvests a crop of tourists every year that pays her big profits with out the investment of any capital on her part except as regards hotels and good roads."

First Meet of the Season Draws Big Crowds to Base Line Road Precursor of Many Others. The sides of the Base line road were fringed with rows of craning necks during the early part of yesterday afternoon be cause it had been announced in The Ore-' gonlan that there would be an automobile run to the Twelve-Mile House. All the commuters in that locality took the notice to mean there would be a race, so that when the first machine, a compact tour ing car, came bowling down over Mount Tabor at something under 35 miles an hour, drivers shied their horses Into the fences, mothers grasped their children and fled within their gates, and small boys, tried to get run over. It was merely the" first machine in the run and it was H. F. Wilson. ttMIIMI not racing at all. The driver was trying with easy grace to light a cigarette with out slowing down. Next came five In a bunch, eating one another's dust, and they were hooted for being second. By and by came a long white machine without a muffler on. and the noise It made was something fierce. A professional chauffeur was at the helm and seemed to have an engagement at fifteen minutes past the hour. He only stopped at the roadhouse long enough to swab the machine and pour some water down Its throat, then back he came, shoot ing fire between the spokes and making it puff louder than ever. He was hailed as victor by the crowd, being the first to re turn. As a matter of fact, quite a crowd had a good run over good roads. Going out over tht Burnslde-street bridge, they worked over to the Base Line road, fol lowing it to the destination. The average run was between 35 and 40 minutes. Some ran on out to the Sandy bridge, and most of them returned by the Section Line road, one mile to the south. This is on its outer reaches better than the Base Line, but does not give sucAi easy access to the city. This run being only one of many where automobllng can be enjoyed thoroughly, other runs will follow later. The roads of this country have been much maligned. They are very good and 35 miles an hour can be made over many of them for miles at a time. This speed may horrify horsemen, but automobllists are not so bad as they are painted, and they slow Up when passing teams and stop alto gether when they see a horse Is fright ened. There are now about 50 private automobiles In town, most of which have been bousht during the Winter. Double the number will come -In during the Sum mer. Initial Trip of the Chehalis.

BEW BOOKS AT THE LLBBABY Many Volumes In Various Fields of Literature Ready for Patrons. Of the making of book3 there Is no end. From the stream that is dally pouring from thCpubllshers presses, the librarian of the Portland library has selected the following which have been catalogued and placed in the shelves ready for the call of the library patrons. It will be noted that the departments of useful and fine arts are being strengthened so that the library's effectiveness as an aid to students and ambitious artisans Is greatly Increased. The Juvenjle reader who scans the list for books should not ne glect the fine arts department, for un der that classification he will find such an attractive title as "On the Road With a Circus." Nor should ho skip "useful arts" for If he ever wants to build a yacht, ho will find In that department a book on ELECTED PRINCIPAL OF M'MINNVILLE PUBLIC SCHOOLS M'MINNVILLE. Or., May 8. (Special.)

This is the first Spring In several years that builders have not stood in hourly dread of strikes until they got them. May is well launched and, though there is much building, there la no talk of strikes. Reasons given for this situation are nu merous, but the most conclusive is that the building trades do not see it to their advantage to demand more than they, are getting, and falling to enforce their de mands. The supply of carpenters, painters, lath ers, plasterers and all the other trades that have to do with building Is good Just now, and contractors can get plenty of men to do their work. Men have come in here from the East and the Sound, drawn by the prospect of big wages during the construction of the Fair. And as there has net been su:h a great deal of employ- ment there as yet, they have sought work elsewhere and found It. There are few idle men, but as work of this kind Is elastic there has been no shortage. When there are plenty of men and good wages, there is not, likely to be a strike. The only possibility that way is fur nished by the floating; "tramp" mechan ics, who, falling to find jobs, try to kick up a mess. But, the conservative element ruling In the unions, they are not gen erally successful. Another and the most potent reason why strikes are unlikely in this line of work Is that the Building Trades Council Is in a disorganized condition. Last year it was very powerful, and when the painters -went out. ruled over the others. But this year the Federated Trades' Council has taken up the functions of that body and does not favor hostile movement. There has been fear of trouble at the Fair grounds, but as laborers and con tractors alike have taken up arms against J. E. Bennett, whom they accuse of working his men nine and ten hours a day, they are now lying down together and purring upon each other. They are all hot after Bennett, and he being squelched, the good feeling caused, between them In fighting for the eight-hour day, a cause contractors were not known to have been active in before, will put them on very friendly terms, and that will help them tide over small unpleasantnesses that may arise. STJBVIVOItS OF SCH00KER. Arthur McArdle Was Wrecked on Egg Island, Bahamas. NEW YORK. May 8. The Ward Line steamer Santiago, which arrived today from Tamplco, Havana and Nassau, brought Captain J. H. Shepherd and seven seamen of the American schooner Arthur McArdle, which was wrecked on Egg Island, Bahamas, on April 23, and became a total loss. The McArdle was bound from Philadelphia for Havana with a cargo of petroleum. Other passengers on board the Santiago were Sir Gilbert Carter, Governor of the Bahamas; Lady Carter and daughter. They are in transit to London. The steamer Celtic, from Liverpool and Queenstown, arrived here today bringing Dr. Roswell Park, the Earl of Stamford, and Sir Charles H. Tupper. ADVERTISED.

Independence Enterprise. -As the time for fishers, hunters and campers to take to the woods is near at hand, it is well to be reminded of the forest fire evils. Commissioner Richards has Issued circulars warning people against carelessness In starting fires, and In view of the great devastation of only two years ago, leniency cannot be asked and will not be granted one who permits a fire to get started in the woods. The Federal law provides a maximum fine of $5090, or imprisonment for two years, or both, if the fire Is due to carelessness. It also provides that the money from these fines goes to the school funds of the county in which the offense is commit ted. XOW-RATE TICKETS EAST. O. B. & N.
