Quart6rmaster-Gcneral Humphrey has awarded to the Portland Lumber Com pany the contract for supplying 2.110,457 foot of. lumber, to be used In the construc tion of. Army buildings in the Philippine.?. The shipment will be made by steamer Uirect from this city. The amount in volved in the order Is somethinf over. 320. O00. Bids on this lot were opened Decem ber 20. The announcement of the acceptance of the Portland Lumber Company's tender was received by wire yesterday by Cap itain Jchsc M. Baker, Disbursing Quarter master. The first intimation of the suc cess of this bidder came the day before with the news that the transport Buford. which will carry the Nineteenth Infantry to Manila, will also take 450.000 feet of lumber from the Portland company. The Jator orders specified that the mill com pany have that amount on hand ready to go on board ship by March 20. The re mainder of the ordor will go forward by other -vessels not yet' provided for. which arc expected alt?o to take the IW.OOO-foot Jot of lumber and the large quantity of other building materials for which bids were recently opened toy Captain Baker The department has asked for sound ings at the dock of the Portland Lum ber Companj, and if a sufficient stage of water is found there and in the bridge channels, the Buford will load her ma terial at the mill. The date of the depart ure of the steamer is fixed for April L She will carry out the Nineteenth Infan try, now stationed at Manila, and If addi tional cargo space Is found after the sol diers' baggage and equipment is provided for, more lumber will be loaded on her. according to instructions. It is not like ly, however,. that this extra space will be discovered, as on the last sailing of the transport from Portland she carried but little over 500,000 feet, and considerable of it was stowed in what will this trip be used for soldiers' quarters. OREGON GOES INTO SERVICE Sails From San Francisco on First Trip Under New Charter. The steamer Oregon sailed from San Francifo at 11 o'clock yesterday morning on her first trip to Portland under the new charter of the Harriman company, taking the place of the Costa Rica. She will sail out from this city on the 20th. The Oregon has been engaged for the ser vice until May 5. It is learned unofficially that the steamer SL Paul, which was re ported chartered by the Pacific Mail to ply between Portland and San Krancisco alter the expiration of the Oregon's engage ment, has, instead, been bought outright from the Alaska' Navigation Company. The steamer is to be fitted to use oil fuel, and will be thoroughly overhauled before hp is put on this run. where she will continue permanently. It is now certain that the Geo. W. Elder will be raised and repaired and turned over to the company by the insurance people," which will give the San Francisco & Portland line three good steamers for the Coast service. This will allow them to establish a three days' schedule out from both ports, which will be none too frequent when the big Fair rush begins. The transfer of tickets from the O. R. & X. ticket office and from Ash-street dock to the new Washington-street office of the San Francisco &. Portland Company was made last night, and the tickets will be put on sale at the latter place this morn ing. E. F. De Grandpre has been ap pointed ticket agent The baggage busi ness has been transferred from Ash-street to Alnsworth dock. ELLERIC OFFERED HERE. sSteamer Headed This Way, but Not Yet Fixed. Tho British steamship Elleric, Captain ITCndlay, has been offered for business at this port, various rumors are anoat con cernlng her, one being that negotiations are under way for the transportation of a lull cargo of oats to the Orient, another crediting her with having been taken for lumber. It Is stated by the agents posi tively that tho vessel has not yet been fixed. So far as the oats are concerned. It Is known, that she cannot secure a full cargo of this cereal here, but she might be loaded with icaatern oats, tnougn no one. In the trade knows of wuch. a deal kaying been made. Her foreign register would likewise prevent her from partlcl natine In the Government lumber bus! ness, unless it is found that no American steamers or transports are available. The Elleric was here last December. sailing on the 15th of that month for Japan via San Francisco In the Portland & Asiatic line. She was last reported at Yokohama January 23, from which port she was to prooeed to Hiogo and Moji before returning to this Coast. Another steamer of this line, the For eric, now at Shanghai, where she has jiut arrived from New lork, has been char tered fcy Frank Waterhouse & Co. to load on the Sound for the Orient, sailing April 10.

Brinkburn Will Not Carry Contra band to Vladivostok. TACOMA, Feb. IS. A special to the Daily News from Victoria, B. C. says: The British steamship Brinkburn, which has been lying in Royal Roads, loaded with contraband from San Francisco for Vladivostok, has had her orders canceled and leaves for the Golden Gate today. Instructions came from the owners in London last night and apparently have been given in consequence of the recent seizures of contraband carriers by Jap anese warships. GREATER DEPTH OF WATER Coast and Geodetic Survey Reports on Mouth of Columbia. The latest monthly report of the Coast and Geodetic Survey contains the fol jowing reference to conditions at the mouth of the Columbia: "Through the courtesy of the Chief of Engineers, United States Army, a copy of & survey ot the bar at the entrance to Columbia River, made November 10. 1S04. has been received.' 'aii examination of this survey shows an increased depth, and that 24 feet, at the average of the lowest low wa:rs, can be carried across the bar with Cape Dis appointment lighthouse bearing NE. by N.; and that the jetty making out from Clatsop Spit has been extended about IV miles in a WSW. i W. direction, its ontcr end being now at a point about 2 2-S miles S.

Forecasts of Wind and Weather in North Pacific in March. The March issue of the North Pacific Pilot Chart gives the following forecast of wind and weather in the North Pa cific in the coming month: To the northward of 45 degrees the wind will veer from ENE. (with falling barom eter) through south to NW. (wlth rising barometer). Immediately iinder the coast j the moft frequent direction will be bh.

Between 40-45 j degrees N. the same sequence of winds i win accompany simitar oaromeinc con ditions, the percentage of southerly winds diminisliinr of the northerly Increasing. as we leave the coast. To the southward of 40 degrees the prevailing direction will be NW.. ,nd winds with easting will be rare. cspeeiallyvundr the coast. Throughout the month the NE. mon soon will cover the China and the Celebes Seas, the Philippine Islands, and th east ern coast of Asia as far north as Shang hai. Beyond this point the prevailing direction of the wind will be N. to NW. The NE. monsoon attains a maximum strength and constancy along the stretch between Macao'and Chusan. In the vicin ity of the mainland it exhibits a marked tendency to fpllow the coast. Here it also weakens -slightly by night, and at the same time blows somewhat offshore, of ten permitting a vessel close under the land to make headway against it. The monsoon brings thick, rainy weather on the northern and eastern coasts of For mosa and Luzon, making navigation dif ficult. A rising barometer foreruns aw Increase In strength, a falling barometer a decrease. Typhoons are Infrequent during March and April. Those which develop south of the 11th parallel move WNW. toward the coast of Annam. North of this parallel they recurve to the NE. before reaching the coast of Luzon. Temporary areas of alternately high and low barometer, with attendant anticy- clonic and cyclonic wind circulations will be found moving in a. general east erly direction across the ocean in tem perate latitudes. In advance of the for mer the weather is dry (large difference between the wet and dry bulb thermom eters), the barometer rises, the thermom eter falls, the clouds (cirrus, cirro-cumulus, alto-cumulus) tend to dissolve, and the general direction of the winds Is polar or westerly: in advance of the lat ter the weather is damp (small difference between the wet and dry bulb thermom eters), the barometer falls, the thermom eter rises, the clouds (cirro-stratus, alto- stratus, nimbus) tend to gather, and thb general direction of the winds is equa torial or easterly. The eastward passage of an anticyclone is marked by light. slowly shifting winds and fair weather: of a cyclone, by rapidly shifting winds, gales, rain and foul weather. Field Ice may be looked for as far south as 42 degrees N.. longitude 145-150 degrees E. The Golden Horn is ordinarily closed by ice until thj middle of April, and har bors farther north to a correspond ingly later date. SNOWFALL NOT HEAVY. In Some Parts of Idaho It Is lightest EverjKnown. A snowfall below the average, reported from Idaho, is not pleasing to the min ing and agricultural Interests, but lessens the probability of high water In the Co lumbia the coming Summer. The monthly snow bulletin of the Weather Bureau at Boise says: Over almost the entire state the snow fall during January was greatly bolow average, and in some localities It was the lightest ever known; this condition, to gether with the unusually light snowfall of the preceding month and the continued mild temperature during the greater part of the Winter thus far contributed to render the snow outlook at the close of the month extremely unsatisfactory. Over the most of the area drained by the Boise River correspondents report conditions indicative of an average wat erflow during the coming season, and in a few localities tributary to other streams an average flow Is expected, but except In the Boise River drainage area the correspondents predicting an average flow are in the minority. There has been little wind to pack the saow, but In some sections the occur rence of rain and alternate freezing and thawing weather lias rendered the" snow solid and compact.

' ROLL CALL IN THE UNITED STATES SENATE; DRIVE HER INLAND JaPanese Hunsry for Russia's Last Seaport. WILL BESIEGE VLADIVOSTOK Consul Miller Says They Are Waiting for Baltic Fleet and Outlines Fu ture Course of Campaign Will Land-New Army. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Feb. 13. Mr. Henry B. Miller, of Grant's Pass. Or.. American Consul Oencral to Niuchwang, China, probably has a better Idea of conditions In the Orient, that Is. conditions In the war ! zone, than any other American. Mr. i Miller, as representative of this Gov ernment at a port once held by Russia, but subsequently captured by Japan, has been In a position to gather much valuable Information, which has been of benefit to his Government as well as to the American newspapers. Prob ably no other American enjoyed the privileges which were accorded Mr. Miller. He becama personally ac quainted with many of the leading- of ficers of both the Russian and the Jap anese forces, naval as well as army officers. He gained their confidence, in many instances, and in that way gath ered information that was denied other men. And what is more. Mr. Miller, while enjoying the confidence of both Russians and Japanese, has never been accused of betraying a confidence or of showing partiality "for one or the other of the contending nations. Throughout m. service at wucnwans ar. .Miner Kepi m sincu) neuirai cnanneis. ai - wiouKii fcMiiuiiiE- out ueiermineaiy ai uii uuirs iui me iibiiib ui .Americans and the protection of American Inter ests, both from the Japanese and the Russians. And in this stand he has been sustained at every turn by the State Department. Because of the position he occupies. Sir. Miller does not feel at liberty to discuss the Russo-Japanese War as freejy as he might under other clrcumr stances. He does, however, voice the belief that the control of the Eastern sea Is the key to the present situation; that the nation which dominates the Siberian and Manchurian coast will be the nation to dictate the terms of peace. It is Miller's opinion that the Japanese, during- the coming Summer, will direct their efforts towards Vladi vostok with a view to capturing the only remaining Russian seaport opening- on the Pacific They appear to be able to hold Port Arthur, which in many ways was more Important to the Russians than Vladivostok, because of Its large shipyards and its adaptability as a naval base. Consul Miller says that the Japanese are very anxious for the Baltic fleet to put in appearance in Oriental waters. From what he observed, there was no uneasiness whatever among the Japanese because this fleet was on Its way cast; on the contrary there was a feeling of restlessness because of the long time that will be consumed in the Journey. The Japanese are anxious to engage the Russian fleet, confident that they will annihilate it. as they did the fleet at Port Arthur. If this Is accomplished, the Japanese will be free- to make a combined sea and land assault upon Vladivostok, and they appear to be very confident that their attack will succeed. Even should they fail. If they annihilate the Russian fleets in Eastern waters, they will be able to effectively close all Rus sian ports In Siberia, will be able to stop all trade and ran practically put the trans-Siberian Railroad out of business. "Without a fleet to keep their ports open, the great railroad will be of little benefit to the Russians, for commerce and trade will be at an end, and the great railroad. Instead of being a resource will really be como a burden and a tax. According to the preveillng sentiment, as Mr. Miller sizes it up, the Japanese will not be satisfied to destroy the Baltic fleet, but will insist upon actually cap turing Vladivostok. If the fleet Is de- i o t rrnI Vi Vtol Ini'oa Vt o Innijnpco TV 1 1 1 nr. Banite an entirely new army to march on this port, leaving Its present army In possession of Port Arthur and the south ern extremity of Manchuria. By a land attack from the rear, and an attack from the fleet In front, the Japanese will be able to make it very uncomfortable for the Russians In Vladivostok, even If they fall to capture the city. Japanese Want Harbin Also. The probabilities arethat the Japanese will not draw from their army at Port Arthur to organize an expedition to march north. At least they will not draw on this army unless the Russians with draw their troops from Mukden and other positions they hold north of Port Arthur. If such a move Is mdde. the Japanese will probably start in pursuit and attempt to capture the Russians that are withdrawn. But the strong desire of the Russians to hold Mukden, the capital of Manchuria, and - also to pro tect Harbin, will probably prevent them drawinfJ 0ff any of their southern army. Harbin is a point much to be desired by . the Japanese, as it Is the controlling . polnt on the Siberian Railroad. From that nnlnt the road forks, one line run nlng to Vladivostok, the other to Port Arthur. If the Japanese capture that point, and annihilate the Baltic fleet in addition, the Russian- army In the East would be cut off for all time. But Har bin cannot be captured by the Japanese army at Port Arthur unless Mukden falls, and that city is so situated and so fortl- fled that the probabilities are that it will I hold out j In the opinion of Consul Miller, the I Japanese will concentrate their naval forces against the Baltic fleet as soon as it appears, and then, by controlling the sea. if they are unable to dictate their own terms of peace, will proceed against Vladivostok, meanwhile holding Port Ar thur, a nolnt they will probably never again relinquish. Rigors of News Censorship In this connection Mr. Miller tells Inter esting stories of the difficulties of news t paper correspondents in getting war news i and getting It out to the world. The ! strictest censorship Is maintained In. the I war zone, a great obstacle to correspond t ents. Neither the Russian or Japanese j armies have accorded correspondents the Drlvlleges they enjoyed in the Spanish "War. As far as possible, correspondents have been kept from the front and have ) been allowed to observe little. The Chl- ! nese, however, are permitted to go about ! pretty much where they please, and are . not molested. Correspondents, realizing this fact, have enueavoreu to maae use. oi . v. -.tlvoc h.il mrolv with success. $T!me after time Chinese have been paid lnrce sums to ko into the region of acttv ltv. ascertain the facts, and bring back reports of what Is going on. Rarely ever have thev oroven faltntui. iney tane the money, go off" to a remote part of the city and remain in hiding, and when they think enough time has elapsed, they re turn and lay before the anxious corre spondents some story hatched In their own fertile brains. They are absolutely Independable; their word and their serv ices are never to be relied upon. It Is Targely because of the reports of Chinese, messengers that so much Inaccurate news has been telegraphed from the Orient. The only time the Chinese render a real service is when they carry messages from the correspondents to-some telegraph sta tion beyond the reach of censors. This has to be done time and again, or else very meager and Incomplete reports are printed. As bearers of these messages, the Chinese are more reliable than . as news-gatherers; but even In this capacity 1 they Ttave caused , many a hard-working correspondent to fall down at a critical moment. Consul Miller says the Hie or a war correspondent in the East Is the hard est assignment a man can have; trie ob stacles seem almost Insurmountable; he wonders-, under tho circumstances, that the boys have done so well. WHY PANAMA WANTS MINISTER Objections to Barrett's Plan of a Minister-Governor. The Panama Star and Herald, in its issue of January 2S, prints the follow ing: "Much Interest has been awakened in Panama over the recommendation In President Roosevelt's message to Con gress about the canal that the member of the Canal Commission who adminis trates the affairs of the Zone as Gov ernor should also be made minister. This recommendation of the President to Congress Is understood to be the result of a suggestion submitted by the Ameri can Minister, Mr. Barrett, to Secretary Taft when he was here, and later con firmed, according to the press dispatches from "Washington, to Secretary Hay. "From what has been telegraphed from- the United States, it Is to be gathered that the minister made this recommendation, as he believed, for the best Interests of Panama and the United States alike, holding that it would do away with so-called red-tape and delay and facilitate the relations of both countries in both diplomatic and executive matters. That the minister's motives were unselfish are proved by the fact that this change would remove him from office. "When, however, the news reached Panama that this suggestion might be favorably acted upon by the American Government. President Amador and many other Panamanians of different political parties expressed their regret to the minister that he had advised this change and -the hope that cither he would withdraw It or that the Con ffrera at 'Washington might not act upon it. At the same time it is known that telegrams were sent to Minister Obaldla In Washington advising that he should request Secretary Hay not to do awav with a separate Legation in Panama. "The principal reasons advanced are: 'That the dignity of Panama as an Independent nation entitles it to an in dependent Legation of the United States. "That many Important diplomatic questions are continually arising which should be handled by. a minister who is- not also Governor or member of the Canal Commission. That the minister is a necessary dip lomatic Intermediary between the Panama and Zone Governments. "It Is also urged, with no reflection whatever on the present Governor, that Minister Barrett, who now -thoroughly understands conditions here and has tho. confidence of the Government and people. should remain ns the high diplomatic rep resentative on the Isthmus of the United States. "The news dispatches state that the minister has reported without prejudice the attitude of the Panama Government, and. although unable to withdraw his original suggestion made in good faith, he has. out of respect to the wishes of Panamanians left the matter entirely to the discretion of the Home Govern ment." "NERVOUSNESS IN CHILDREN." Dr. Marie D. Equi Lectures to Home Training Association on Topic. Dr. Marie D.

"All arc sensitive, highly organized, emotional and easily wciiteJ. some timid and retiring, others always alert and restless, and still itbers peevish and irritable.

The nervous Kvstem is a physical entity, and, like other parts of the body, must be sus tained by good and sufficient food and a. tree supply of oxygen. Another re uulslte is rest, for the nerve cells of the voung become easily exhausted, and if the limit of normal fatigue be too frequently exceeded a permanent Im nalrment may result.

It is believed four of tho injured workmen will die. The first explosion was quickly fol lowed by a second, and In a nilrutc the whole three-story building was In flames. A number of workmen were caught where there were no fire es capes and had to jump to the ground. When, the firemen arrived men were hanging from windows, and. were taken down with the aid of scaMns? ladders.
