Tales of the Street and Town
H.ttith; is- a minerto unpuoiisnea
story of Paul Cowles, superin
tendent of the Western Division
of the Associated Press, erstwhile
superintendent A. P. Oriental-war
correspondents.
Time dragged a little last Spring
with the crowd of correspondents at
Niu Chwang, so when, they learned
that Paul Cowles was en rdute to the
Orient they arranged for a reception
to him.
Correspondent Trissel. who was recent
ly through Portland is avory short man.
six feet seven in circumference. Trlssel's
chum, another writer, is six feet seven
high and of the bean-pole style of
physique. The pair formed a delegation
to welcome P. C. upon his arrival. No
sooner was he landed than he was con
fronted by the delegation In fantastic
native gala costume. They kow-towed to
him in the approved Oriental fashion. As
he gamely recovered from the first sur
prise P. C. inquired':
"Where's Jack and the gamer'
"Which? Hey? Your excellency" (again
kow-towing);
"The rest of the tricks I mean, I see
High, Low,- Jack and
At that moment P. C. was interrupted
by a breathless youth who burst through
the crowd, notebook in hand.
"Oh. Mr. Cowles. I believe," he said.
"Glad to see you. sir. I represent the
Morning Manchurian. How do you like
our beautiful city?"
Before McCowles could reply the youth
was thrust aside by another young man
with a note-book.
"I am the Daily Niu Chwangcr man."
said he. "Just pooh-pooh that chap, Mr.
Cowles his rag's nothing but a Sunday
weekly that's straight. Please pose a
moment for our cartoonist, profile view,
please face to right, so. Thanks. While
I ark you a few questions about your
impressions of Manchuria, and whether.
If elected you will bo for a closed or a
wide-open town, with red-light restric
tions "
Just then the Niu Chwang band struck
up with the rockot of a Chinatown fun
eral ceremony. P. C. was hustled Into
a rickshaw, or whatever they call it. and
found himself atthe head of a remarka
ble procession. All the beggars and riff
raff of Niu Chwang were out in line
bearing banners and transparencies on
which were legends like the following:
: .....i .j
: WELCOME TO OUR NEXT :
: MAYOR. :
VOTE FOR COWLES AND
HIGH WAGES.
HONEST OLD PAUL. THE
LABORING-MAN'S FRIEND.
Such another army of rags aud tatters
was never assembled.
"Look here," shouted McCowlos. "Do
you take me for a General Coxoy?"
"Hurrah for Cowles!" shouted some
one. "Hullah! Ilullahl" shouted tho stage
supers enthusiastically.
As the outfit halted before tho Niu
Chwang Hotel. Mr. Cowles stared at a
huge banner:
: COWLES. THE PEOPLE'S :
: CHOICE. :
The delegation presented the Royal Pe
king Club Quartet, who sang with great
enthusiasm
"Our Paul Cowles a merry old Cowles;
A merry old Cowles Is he," etc., etc
An enormous key. giving the freedom
of tbo city was next bestowed, and Mr.
Cowles' attention was called to still moro
placards and banners.

RAISING SUNKEN BATTLESHIPS
Japan's Big Problem in the Harbor of Port Arthur.
NOT one of the surprises that Japan
has sprung upon the civilized world
Nsinee the beginning of her war with
Russia Is of more interest to fighting mezf
of every nation than the problem she has
to face in raising the huge Russian bat
tleships from the bottom of the sea in
the harbor at Port Arthur.
If Japan had to duplicate these sunken
battleships by rebuilding It would involve
an expenditure of from JS.000.O00 to J30.
000,000, according to the opinion of naval
experts in this country- Nor could tho
vessels bo built inside of six or seven
years, at the very earliest, from the ter
mination of the war.
Even If Japan impends $3,000,000 in raising
and repairing the sunken battleships
which is not considered an extravagant
estimate she would be many million dol
lars to the good; and the work, if It Is
successful at all, should bo completed In
two or three years. In addition to the
question of money saved there is tho
tremendouse value to Japan of increasing
her fleet just now and the prestige of
Incorporating her enemy's ships in her
own navy-
Fighting men attach moro importance
to this matter ot prestige than the lay
mind can readily appreciate. The namo ot
a battleship captured from a powerful
enemy lf seldom allowed to die out. Tho
British have several modern war vessels
named after ships that Nelson took from
the French at Trafalgar. It i a nation's
way of "rubbing It in."
One of tho most experienced naval con
structors in Uncle Sam's employ said to a
reporter for the Sunday New York Press:
"Japan must work out this problem for
herself. It Is an entirely new one in tho
history of naval warfare. She has no prec
edent to guide her. The simple principles
Involved in raising these huge battleships
are as well understood In Japan as any
where else in the world. The question Is
whether they can be made to work suc
cessfully. If Japan miccccds In getting
the vessels to the top of the sea again
sho has ample facilities for reconstruct
ing them in her fine shipyards at Sasebo,
Yokohama and elsewhere. With these
Russian monsters In fighting trim again
she would have a new and powerful navy
almost at one fell swoop.
"I can recall only ono instance In which
a big battleship has beon brought up from
the depths. A British warship was sunk
of Malta two or three years ago. She ran
on a rock and stove a hole in her bottom.
The moment tho divers ascertained where
tho hole was the proposition 'of raising
her was very simple. The method was
what might be called the corking process.
It was necessary only to stop up that
one hole and pump the vessel out to get
her to the top.
"Put a bottie in a tubful of water and
let it fill. Then put in a cork with a
straw running through it to the surface
through which you can draw the water
ouu The moment the bottle is empty It
will come to the top. That is the simplest
proposition In raising sunken ships If
the Japanese could make use of it there
would be very little expense or trouble in
getting the Russian ships out of the water
at Port Arthur.
"But the chance that the Russians left
their sunken ships In condition for the
Japs to raise by this easy process is ex
ceedingly remote. In fact, wo are" al
ready assured they did not. Tho cost of
raising tho vessels and the time it will
Ing stories, but from the best evidence at
hand It appears that P. C. squared mat
ters with two cases of champagne at Niu
Chwang prices.
PATRICK HENRY WINSTON has
passed into .the great beyond, but
bis stories arc still circulating on
earth. "Here's one I heard at Olympia,"
said Ed Wright. "Winston used to say
that n man without imagination missed
nine-tenths ot life. It takes so little to
content an Imaginative man." said
Winston, 'Look at me, now, x ouy a. iul-

replied?
"'He asked me why I didn't carry
my imagination a step further, "by just

quent fun. and save my dollar! "
7r FEW days later, a plain reporter was
J rated somewhat higher. One Ford
called In regard to a certain nows item in
which he was interested. The reporter
took his statement
"Now, give us a square deal," said tho
visitor.
"Why. of course I will," responded the
man with tho pencil.
"That's what we want,' said the visitor,
as with a sudden "pass of practice" ho
slid, not two nickels, but 52. ie, into tho
other's vest "pocket.
"I never saw anything so slickly done."
laughed the reporter afterward. "It was
so funny that I could only protest gently
to the fellow as 1 fished the stuff out and
handed it back. And the funniest part
'of it was. he looked as if he thought he'd,
made a mistake in not having proffered a
larger sum."
J E APPROACHED the desk with an
IB air that suggested financial conse
quence, and when he spoke his voice,
while not to be exactly described as gold
end, at least was as the chink of spurious
"coppers.
"I want to have something fixed up." he
began. "I'm W. W. McFaddon, of tho
East Side McFaddcns. I have nothing to
do with tho W. W. McFadden of the
West Side. No, sir. But there's been an
item in the paper about 3- son of W. W.
McFadden getting into trouble. Now, It's
the samo name as me and my boy, and I
want to have something in the paper ex
plaining that it has nothing to do with
us."
"Very well." replied the busy young
man at the desk. "Give me your residence
address and business, and I'll make an
item explaining tho difference In Iden
tity." "All right," responded the other. "I
want it fixed up right, and I'll make it
all right with you." He began to fumble
In his pocket.
"Never mind." said the desk man, "wo
don't take money with Items at this
office."
"But I've got money I just want to
give you something for your trouble."
"Cut it out. mister. We're paid for our
trouble every Saturday. Good evening."
"But" (he continued the pocket fum
bling, and at last fished something out)
"take this anyway and buy yourself
something."
And he tossed on the desk before the
now very red-faced young man two worn
nickels!
tako to do It depend entirely upoa tho
number of holes, the Russians put In
them.
"The experience of the United States in
this line of work can scarcely prove of any
practical value, or even encouraging, to
the Japsr Several principles have" been
applied in the various attempts to raise
the Maine, but none of them has worked.
AH the contracts called for an expendi
ture of $150,000 or more. But then, the
rMalne is badly broken up. It Is hardly
likely the Russians could havo smashed
their ships as the Maine was smashed.
The Viscaya was only partially sub
merged, so that she was easily raised by
the corking process. The reason she was
lost on the voyage home was that her
decks were so weakened by fire that they
could not withstand the force of a fierce
storm she encountered. The decks caved
In. she filled with water and went to the
bottom again. The torpedo-boats we
raised in Manila harbor were also re
covered by the corking process- With
small craft such work Is very simple.
yBut the fivo battleships sunk at Port
Arthur will have an average -weight of
12.O00 tons. The Maine weighed about
FO00 tons. There is a "big difference. I do
not think that the derrick system, such
as the Mcrrltt-Chapman Company suc
cessfully used In raising tho General Slo-
cum, can be applied to these battleships.
Derricks might as well be eliminated
from the proposition, In my opinion
There Is nono big enough nor strong
enough for the work. The General Slocum
was a vessel of 600 tons or so.
"Next to that comes the pontoon sys
tern. This means the construction of sev
eral pontoons, each with an air chamber
about as large as a good-sized family
dining-room. These are filled with water
and sunk. When three-Inch chains have
been passed hundreds and hundreds of
times under tho bottom of the sunken
ships, the water is pumped out of the
pontoons. Unless something unexpected
gives,' they will bring the vessels to the
surface. Barrels-are used In the same
manner. They have remarkable buoy
ancy. Let any man to to keep an air
tight barrel under the water and ho will
learn an interesting lesson, if he has
never made the experiment before. The
suggestion has been made that two or
three wooden collier vessels might be suc
cessfully applied to the pontoon process.
It would be a. comparatively easy matter
to sink themand pump them out. If the
Japs decide to try tills plan naval men
will be keenly Interested In their work.
"But, as I say. the question Is ontlrely
problematical. Much depends upon tho
bottom the sunken ships rest upon. If it
Is muddy, like that surrounding the
Maine la Havana Harbor, the difficulty
of tho work is trebled. If it Is a good,
sound bottom, and the chains can easily
be passed under the vessels, success Is
virtually assured. Much depends also
upon whether the Russians sank their
ships near tho shore or dragged them out
Into tfte channel In 50 fathoms of water.
Until a ship Is on the surface and pumped
out she Is a dead weight. A thing will
either float or sink. The trouble with
working In deep water Is that, when
success Is almost assured, a mishap that
could scarcely have been anticipated will
send the battleship to the bottom again.
"From all thatwe know here the Retvi
zan. Pobleda. Palada and Poltava are
In fairly good condition for raising. The
Sevastopol is reported to be the worst
broken-up vessel of all. but I hardly
think the Japs will lot her pass, without
an attempt at raising, after they have
disposed of the others. Getting the

mulpo will be a comparatively simple
matter.
"It is not likely that any of the sunken
ships will require new engines. After the
machinery already In them has been taken
apart, oiled up and put together again it
will be little tho worse for Its bath. The
guns will be pretty well used up. But any
effort to raise these ships is well worth
the money. If the Japs succeed in getting
even three ot them in fighting trim again
they will have won a tremendously big
prize."

HAS HELLIONS IN HIS MIND.
Stranger Gives Large Stories in Ex
change for Hospitality.
ASTORIA. Or.. Feb. 1. (Special.) A
stranger who gave his namo as Huff and
said bo was a relative of Mr. Failing and
also of Mr. Ladd, of Portland, has been
imposing on the ranchers living in the
vicinity of Svensen and Knappa during
the past few days, although he 3ecured
nothing of value from any of them with
the exception of a few days' board. He
said he had recently disposed of several
hundred thousand dollars' worth of prop
erty In Portland, was a silent partner in
tho firm of Jones & Co.. ot that city.
and had a large sum of money which ho
desired to invest In farms. Under the
pretense of negotiating for tho purchase
of their claims ho obtained several days'
board with several of the ranchers,, but
when the question of paying for his
board was mentioned ho Invariably dis
covered that he had lost his checkbook
and would start out to hunt for It, always
forgetting to return.
Sunday he went to Knappa, engaged the
best accommodations in the hotel and an
nounced that his wife and family were to
arrive yesterday on their private yacht.
He also began negotiations with Mrs.
Knapp for the purchase of her property,
offering her 545,000 for It and giving her
until 2 o'clock yesterday to accept the
proposition. Soon after dinner yesterday
he left the house and when he was
wanted to complete the deal could not be
found. The only thing he loft beblnd was
an unpaid board bill.
While at Knappa he mado contracts to
deliver several airloads of hay at figures
far below the market prices, agreeing to
take notes in payment. Ho also contracted
for several dozen ducks and a number of
fresh salmon, which he wanted as pres
ents for his wealthy relatives in Port
land, and engaged a number of men as
members of the crew of his private yacht.
Huff Is said to bo insane. Sheriff Lln
vlllc left last evening to search for him.
but after tracing him for some distance
all trace of the man was lost. He is
supposed to be "purchasing" more farms
in the district back of Knappa.
