Iaiigb Coil of Eope. The largest coll of rope ever seen in this city has been made for a tow line for the big raft of piling collected by the Oregon Rafting Company, -which is to be towed to San Francisco next -week by the staaner Fran cis H. Leggett, now taking in her cargo of lumber at Inman & Poulsen's mills. The huge coll, -which contains 150 fathoms of cable 4 inches in diameter and -weighs a. little over three tons, was furnished Honeyman Bros, by the Portland Cordage Company, and cost in the neighborhood of $1000. It needs to be .stout and strong and perfect in every flbde as the raft to be towed contains 650.000 lineal feet of piling, equal to 6,500,000 feet, lumber measure. Tne obliging clerk who furnished this in formation -was willing to go into details and figure up the exact weight of the raft, its amount of displacement, the num ber of fathoms of chain used in binding the piles into a raft, and the number of horse-power required to move it through the water, but this was thought unneces sary. - "Wild Biackbeeries at 10 Cents a Pound. The first of the boys peddling wild blackberries of the season, who "will soon be as numerous as reasons or "wild blackberries, was seen dickering with a housekeeper on Fifth street yesterday. He had a five-pound lard can full of berries, which he said were worth 10 cents a pound, or 50 cents for the lot. "But," said the woman, "they are only half ripe. The others are still red and they are not fit to be eaten fresh." "They are very nice stewed or canned," said the boy. "You know there is nothing that has so fine a flavor as wild blackberries-." "That is all right," said the woman, who lingered longingly over the berries, "but I am not rich enough to pay 10 cents a pound for half-ripe blackberries to put up. Call again, my little man, when you have riper berries and the price is cheaper." Pile Drivino on Bridge Stopped. The rivermen have it in their power to stop street-cars from crossing the Morrison street bridge for a longer period than 30 days. The protests of a few captains and owners of steamboats induced Major Langfitt, United States Engineer, to or der pile driving on the draw pier stopped for the present. Temporarily, the channel at the draw will be but 77 feet wide. "When the old pier is removed and the new draw placed in position the channel will be 120 feet wide. If the majority of Overmen will say the 77-foot channel -will not seriously affect their business, the -work may proceed in all probability. Missionary Meeting Todat.

' I .' t . ., ry . DIRECTOR OF MINT TALKS . "7 Says No Branch Off fceWJU JJe Es tablished in Portland and That Oregon Gets Credit for All Gold She Produces. "There will never be another silver, dollar co!nedln this country," said. George E. Roberts director of the United States Mint, to an interviewer last evening. Mr. Roberts was in Portland yesterday be tween trains on his way to Alaska, the guest of his old friend, B. F. Stevens, of the First National Bank. "No, there will be no more new silver dollar pieces turned out of the Govern ment's money plant unless by some chance a lC-to-1 Congress should bo elected, for the supply of silver bullion pu'ehased under the Sherman act is ex hausted." From July 14, 1890, when the Sherman law went Into effect, until It was repealed In 1S93, the Government bought 155,000,000 ounces of silver. This has gradually been worked up into dollars until the present time, when such coinage has ceased, in all probability never to be resumed. Mr. Roberts continued: "Our records show a remarkable In crease in the gold production of the world during the past decade. For the year 1S90 the output of the world's gold mines amounted to J120.000.000, In 183 It was J125.O00.O00, In 1903 between $325,000,000 and J33O.000.O00. our figures are not com plete, and for 1904 it will, in all likelihood, be J3o0,000,000. The annual gold output of the world has nearly trebled In ten years. That's why there is no 'silver question.' "Most people think the mints are busy coining gold. They are mistaken. The bulk of the work we do is in the making of copper cent pieces and nickels. The profits derived from the coinage of these two coins last year amounted to almost J2.O00.O50, which paid all the operating ex penses. We buy a pound of copper for 15 cents and make 144 cent pieces out of it Nlc'xel costs 40 cents a pound, and a pound makes over 54 worth of nickels, so you see what a nice profit there Is in the business. "Formerly very few pennies were In cir culation on the Pacific Coast or in the Rocky Mountain country, but now they are used everywhere, and the demand Is Increasing. "Don't get the impression, however, that we are going out of the gold-coin business. For the fiscal year, ending to day, our coinage of gold will reach J200, 000,000, the largest In the history of the country, and the largest gold mintage ever turned out by any country in the world in one year." Business in Healthy Condition. From the business of manufacturing money the director turned to business conditions in general, for the man who makes the money knows what becomes of It and like all successful manufacturers, he watches conditions of "the trade" care fully. "The business of this country Is in a very healthy condition," he resumed. "There was a drop In securities last Winter like the drop from the Siskiyous down to Ashland, but the country at large' was very little affected. There is a gen eral checking up in business as the nat ural consequence of the past six years of remarkable activity. Careful men feel that they have about reached the limit of their credit, and are disposed to rest awhile. The Presidential campaign enters Into their calculations somewhat, but this' Is really only a breathing spell, and I look for a resumption of activity every where about the first of next year." "What are the prospects for a branch mint or an assay office being established in Portland?" Mr. Roberts was asked. He hesitated a moment and then said: "The Department Is disposed to oppose the establishment of new offices on the theory that there are enough already, and the proposition of opening one Jn Port land has met with no encouragement Several efforts have been made to secure offices at Salt Lake and various other places, and in fact the movement to se cure a branch mint at Tacoma Is of re cent history. As a matter of fact we can ,now handle all the output of the mlqes without the slightest trouble. Oregon's gold mines are not In the vicinity of Portland. It Ib but little farther from the Southern Oregon mines to San Fran cisco than to Portland, and the Eastern Oregon districts are nearer to Boise. Mr. Tongue worked faithfully to secure an assay office for Portland, and Mr. Moody was very active In favor of one at Baker City, but the need does not seem to exist and the Department offers no encourage ment" "How about the claim that you do not credit Oregon with her full production of gold?" Oregon Gets Full Credit. "I have heard that statement made, but as a matter of fact we have compli ments of that kind from almost every gold-producing state in the Union. We base our figures on the returns from smelters, from the mints and assay of fices, from manufacturing Jewelers" and from every other source which might en lighten lis on the amount of gold pro duced. If oUr statements are not correct what becomes of the bullion? Certainly no one Is buying and hiding it People do not bury it in the ground. Pm in clined to think the claims made by Ore gon and every other state which produces gold are prompted by that very human desire to boom their respective districts. You can't always rely on the statements made by the people of the mining sec tions as to the quantity of the output We get all the figures obtainable from official sources and compile them. If Ore gon or Colorado Is producing more than she is credited with we are unable to find out what becomes of the excess." "What are your views regarding the creation of a Department of Mines and Mining in the National Cabinet?" asked the Interviewer of the Director and again Mr. Roberts spoke decisively. "I am opposed to it I believe the min ing Interests of the country can get all the governmental aid they need through channels already established and I do riot think anything would be gained by set ting up a special department" Mr. Roberts left last night for Seattle, en route to Alaska, where he will spend the next six weeks on a tour of investi gation. He will go as far north as'Nome, but hopes to return to Portland in time for the meeting of the American Mining Congress, late in August PERSONAL MSNTIOff. T. M. Hurlburt.

Philip Hull Contests Suit for Divorce Brought by Wife. The trial of the contested divorce suit of Maggie Hull against Philip Hull was on yesterday before Judge Sears, and will be concluded today. Mrs. Hull charges her husband with cruel treatment and she asks to be decreed the owner of a house and lot at Portsmouth which she says she purchased with her own earnings. Hull denies the cruel treatment says they both worked and paid for the property by In stallments, and he also asserts that thero Is a man In the case named Fred Spauld Ing who was a star boarder at their house. Mrs. Hull was employed at the factory of Flelschner, Mayer & Co., as a shlrtmakci, and Hull alleges that he often assisted her at night with work which she brought home. Mrs. Hull testified that her husband Ill treated her, and she related all sorts of Instances of bad conduct upon his part to wards her. She denied having become at tached to Spauldlng, who was also a wit ness In her behalf. She had numerous other witnesses. Including her sister, Mrs. S. M. Lyons, and her husband, S. M. Lyons. They objected to her marriage with Hull because his father committed suicide. Some time ago they arrived here from the East and stayed for a short period at the home of the Hulls. The de fendant testified that they turned his wife against him, and they denied having done so. Hull testified that his wife left him on two occasions. On one of these he came home from, work tired and soaking wet with rain, and found her gone, and no supper. He went to the home of a neigh bor, Mrs. May E. Rhodes, for his supper, and cried when .he told of his wife having abandoned him. Mrs. Rhodes remembered this incident and testified that she felt so sorry for him that she cried a little, too. She proved a good witness for Hull told the court he worked faithfully and helped pay for th house, and Informed Attorney T. J. Clee ton, when he was asking her questions on cross-examination, that "lawyers some times don't know very much." J. N. Pearcy appeared as attorney for the defense. COMING ATTRACTIONS.

WESTWARD WITH LEWIS AND CLARK (Extract from the original Journal kept by the explorers during- their travels.) JULY" 1, 1S04. "We proceeded along the north side of Diamond Island, where a small creek called Biscuit Creek empties Itself. One and a half miles above the island Is a large sandbar In the middle of the river, beyond which we stopped to re fresh the men, who suffered very much from the heat Here we observed great quantities of grapes and raspberries. Be tween one and two miles further are three islands and a creek on the south known by the French name of Remore. The main current which Is now on the south side of the largest of the three Islands, ran three years, as we were told, on the north, and there was then no appearance of the smaller islands. At the distance of 4 miles we reached the lower point of a cluster of small Islands, two large and two small, called Isles des Pares, or Field Islands. Paccaun trees were this day seen, and large quantities of deer and turkeys on the banks. We had advanced 12 miles."

German day at the Carnival passed off auspiciously ye'sterday, and the crowds took in all the shows, ate popcorn and candy, and threw confetti at each other to their heart's content The attendance-1 showed over 1000 increase over Wednes day. The mal.i outside attraction was "Dare devil" Edwards' perilous ride on a bicycle down an inclined pathway, with a swift upshoot over 20 feet of space, landing on another pathway to the ground. Mindful of Edwards.' accident Wednesday after noon, quite a crowd of people took up their positions near the dizzy-looking structure about 8 o'clock last night and more people would have certainly been there had they known Edwards was to ride so early. The act was timed to be gin, however, at the end of the first even ing show in the circus. Edwards climbed up the ladder with the same careless air, and wasted no time in posing. Just as the word of command left the announcer's lips Edwards was shoved off, and his bicy cle dashed down the incline at lightning speed. This time he had his machine well in hand, and it ran as true as a die. It alighted fairly in the center of the board 20 feet away, and the next second Ed wards reached the ground and was smil ingly bowing his acknowledgments to the roar of applause he received for his plucky ride. He will repeat his ride tonight, and has apparently recovered from the effects of his fall. Phlleon D. Green was unable to appear last night as the machinery for his spiral tower-revolving globe display had not ar rived. A telegram was received saying that the various mechanical appliances were on the way, and It Is on the cards that Green and other new features may be seen tonight More confetti was thrown yesterday than on previous occasions, and everybody bore the merry attacks with laughing good na ture. The voices of the various "barkers" attached to the sideshows are holding out wonderfully, and the persuasive entreaties to attend these shows are heard over all of the Carnival ground. There will be four free-feature shows on the Multnomah field tonight, chief among which will be the four flying Bamvards and three acro bats on the aerial revolving wheel. The circus is worth the money, and better ac robatic work has probably never been seen for the money in Portland. The Austin sisters' trapeze work is much admired, and the performer who walks on the cell ing with her toes, and head downward, must make the real flies rather Jealous. The electrical fountain Is making ahlt Today will be Woodmen's day at the Carnival, and tomorrow Labor day. A mistaken idea seems to preval as to the admission to the Carnival. It is 10 cents each person. NOTICE. No Evening Train for Astoria on Sat urdays. Commencing Saturday, July 2, and every Saturday thereafter, the evening train of the A. & C. R.
