(Staff Correspondence.) Jimmy- Whalen, the Seal twlrler who shut out Chicago twice and Seattle once, gave the Portland Giants a coating of hencoop varnish this afternoon, and the score stood 3 to 0 when the curtain was rung down. Win French pitched seven innings, but on account of a sore arm he had to give way to Ely Gates. The game by this time, however, was lost to the Webfooters, for the Seals had assessed French's lame delivery for a bunch of Fingles In the fourth and fifth innings, and they collected two runs. Whalen never pitched In better form 'in his life. He had speed and curves to burn. Not a "Webfooter was able to get any nearer a run than first base, and the only man that got that far was Clark, who managed to poke one of "De "Whale's" benders into safe ter ritory in the closing chapter of the en gagement. Schlafley was the only other Northerner to get a safe hit off Whalen. Team Supported Whalen. Naturally in a. game of this sort there was -a world of sharp fielding. If "Wha len had not received gilt-edge support he would have received a Urubblng, for the blue-uniformed; ball swatters of McCredie clouted him hard. Portland was just unfortunate, for a dozen times the ball was frit so hard that in nine times out of ten they would have been safe. All of these liard smashes were cor ralled by the sharpest kind of fielding on- the part of the local team. Cates, who had not been wised up on the en forcement of the balk rule, was guilty of giving Hildebrand a baso after he had reached first on a dinky hit. This balk was responsible for the third run. Aside from this Cates pitched a clever Cold Winds Hurt -Pitchers. French is hot the only pitcher who is nmnilnlnc- nf a Kfirn nrm. The cold winds which -swoop across the ball park have bothered Essiclc and Garvin. French, when, he went In, thought he would be able to work out the soreness, but his arm, Jnstead of getting better, got worse and he had to quit. For three innings ha mowed the Seals 'down in one-two-three order. The run which was scored in the fourth was an umpire gift, for Spencer was caught at third by a town lot. The score: SAN -FRANCISCO.

Stanton Magnces ..... ,...SS Holman Oakes RF Brown Masters CV Fulton Montag LF Merchant INCREASE THE TAX ON BEER Answer to Movement for Import Duty on Coffee. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, "Wash ington, April 4- In many quarters the suspicion exists that the United States Brewing Association is giving support to the movement to Impose a duty on coffee, and several members of Con gress stand ready to insist that. If such a duty is to be enacted, it shall be ac companied by an Increase in the inter nal revenue tax on beer. They point out that the profit on beer is so great that, when the additional $1 per barrel tax was Imposed during' the Spanish war, the price to retailers was scarcely affected, while to the consumer It remained the same. In other words, they say that when the tax was re pealed It merely transferred $30,000,- 000 annually from the United States Treasury into the pockets of the brew era. The time has now come, they say, to reduce customs duties and to have a general readjustment of the tariff and internal revenue laws, and tn the shake- up to increase the tax on beer at least 50 cents a barrel, which will add 515, 000,000 anually to our revenues. There is more or less talk of in creasing the tax on alcohol, but it Is discouraged, as various Commissioners of Internal Revenue have stated that to increase this tax would decrease the consumption and incidentally the rev enue. Besides, it would be resented by all manufacturers who use alcohol, who are trying to get the tax reduced from JL10 to 90 cents per gallon. On the other hand, when It comes to a question of taxation, beer has no friends except the brewers, and many. are inclined to believe that an increase in the tax on it will meet with gen eral approval. DON'T RUSH TO MINIDOKA LAND Pumping Problem for Irrigation Has Not Been Solved. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, "Wash lngton. April 4-The attention of the director of the Geological Survey has been called to the fact that a misapprehension exists on the part of certain citizens' of Idaho as to the plans of the Reclamation Service In regard to some important de tails relating to the Minidoka project. Tbla misunderstanding has arisen, it is believed, by reason of the effort of many settlers to anticipate the plans of the en Klneers and secure choice holdings of land The Government from the first has warned intending settlers to go slow In making entries on the lands embraced in this project, and has called particular at tention to the fact that the plans for irri gatlon, especially those involving the pumping plant, were merely tentative, and could not be worked out as quickly as those for the gravity system. While noth ing has arisen to prevent the ultimate development of a pumping plant, so many delicate engineering features are Involved that careful consideration must be given to these before any definite conclusions are reached or the final plans are ap proved. Thus, apparently, while no reason ex lsts for believing that the pumping fea tures of the Minidoka project will not ultimately be utilized, the engineers very wisely have decided to give this question more study and consideration before rec ommendlng it for construction. Morales Accepts Terms. "WASHINGTON, April 6. A dispatch from Minister Dawson announces that President Morales has accepted the terms for collection of the revenues of Santo Domingo, especially regarding the salary of $500 a month to be paid Superintendent Colton.

Kid McCoy Will Fight O'Brien. HOT SPRING, Ark.. April 6. Kid Mc Coy, who is now here, was matched today to fight Philadelphia Jack O'Brien about the middle of May, before the Eureka Athletic Club, of Baltimore. BY FIRST OP JUNE. Postoffice to Be Moved Before That Date Repairs Almost Finished. Before the last -day of May th Treasury Department of the United States will have spent $15,000 in furnishing the new quar ters for the Postoffice, the Federal Courts and the offices of the clerks. Marshal and District Attorney and for fitting up the offices of the railway mail department on the third floor. Now that the w.rk of Teconstructlon on the Federal building at Fifth and Morri son streets Is nearing Its end, the depart ment is beginning to hurry matters to a 'finish and will have the furnishings ready as fast as they can be put In place. Or ders have been given to the custodian of the building In Portland to have plans made for the interior furnishings. The bench in the courtroom, the chairs and settees throughout tne different offices, the counters In the mail order, postoffice and railway mall service departments and the furnishings for the other Government offices will all be made to fit Into the rooms where the articles are to be used. The interior of the building will be fin lshed in oak and wainut, much of which is now on hand in the old fixtures and furniture scattered throughout the build Ing now used by 'the offices. All of the old material will be used that can be worked over, but the estimate of $15,000 is exclusive of anything now on hand. The orders for the furniture to be used in the Department of Justice have al ready been made, and the courtroom, the office of the clerks and the Marshal will be ready by the first week in May. Owing to a change in the stairways it will be necessary to hoist all of the furniture for these offices through the upper windows, After the Federal Court and the other divisions of the Department of Justice have been moved, the work of changing the postoffice from its present locawon at Sixth and Ankeny will be commenced. It was decided that the Postoffice DeDart ment srfould bo moved after the courts. In order that there would not be the trouble in moving the furniture, as the crowds In the corridors would prevent work once the postoffice was In oreration on the lower floor. It is expected and intended to have all of the departments In the new building by May 31. The new quarters win be of mod ern construction and as convenient as is possible. Enunclators will be placed In every room, so that the different officials will be able to communicate with one an other at any time. A special effort Is being made to get the building in shape In order that the land fraud trials will not be postponed any longer than Is necessary. Under ordinary circumstances the trials would have started about the latter part of April, but It was decided to wait until the move was made. In order that no Interruption would Lbe met with once the trials were called. HITCH' IN BONDHOLDERS' DEAL British Government Refuses to Touch Revenue of Venezuela. LONDON, April 6. A serious hitch in the agreement recently signed between British and German bondholders and the Venezuelan government threatens to ren der the scheme for the satisfaction of the former's" claims unworkable. A clause in the contract provides that the proportion of the revenues allocated to the bondholders shall be Daid to the British Legation and Consular officials In Venezuela, but the British government refuses Its consent. The bondholders are discussing an alternative arrangement, but considerable doubt exists that the con tract will be carried out.

RUSH FROM IOWA Many Immigrants Coming to the Northwest. A. S. THOMPSON GIVES ADVICE He Asks That Individuals Resident Here Write Their Friends of the Advantages of Oregon and Washington. A. S. Thompson, of Waterloo, la., a thoroughly practical and Bplendldly equipped immigration expert, is In Port land for a day or two and will remain in Oregon and "Washington for a few days before returning to his home in Iowa. In discussing with business men at the rooms of the Portland Commercial Club the work of moving people from a state like Iowa to the Pacific Northwest, Mr. Thompson said: "Since the opening of the Promotion and Industrial Department of the Port land Commercial Club, I have been In al most constant touch with Its work, and I presume through myself and friends at least a thousand pieces of printed matter and hundreds of letters have been sent to Iowa addresses. The system estab lished by the Commercial Club of sending out copies of The Oregonian and other printed matter, accompanied by a postal card or personal letter. Is very effective, and thousands of people In my section of Iowa are almost as well Informed re garding your coming Exposition as are the citizens of Portland. Immigrants Come From Iowa. "On this trip "West I was accompanied by 17 citizens of Iowa, who will become permanent residents of Oregon and "Wash ington. They came through on the one fare rate of $29. This one-way rate, by the way, will be In effect until May 15 then from May 23 the special round trip exposition rate will be effective. "Some of these people have located as far south in Oregon as Eugene, others went to Pendleton, while some have gone to the North Yakima and other "Washing ton districts. It is quite a coincidence that the majority of the 17 people who came out with me came to the Pacific Northwest because they had relatives or friends already located here, and several of them were Induced to come through correspondence which originated with the Portland Commercial Club. "Since I left "Waterloo eight or ten citizens of my section have followed. In my party there were three from Fair banks. Ia., and the rest took the train at "Waterloo and Cedar Fails. Many Will Come to Portland. "As I stated, the sale of the Lewis and Clark Exposition tickets will open in our section op the 23d of May, at 550 for the round trip, and It may surprise pegple here to learn that I know at least 75 persons In "Waterloo who have already de termined to visit the Pacific Northwest this Summer, and I will be disappointed If this number does not reach to 150. and "Waterloo is a city of 17,000 people. From Sparkling Cut Crystal Japanese Ivories AT HALF PRICE In order to close out at once we offer until sold our entire stock of Japanese carved Ivories at hnlf price. Every piece is a perfect and exquisitely beautiful work of art. A bewildering va riety of subjects, fascinatingly quaint. Ivory carvings are growing more and more rare each day. The present war has made sad Inroads among the artists of Japan And a deep interest has been awakened in their work. . Cedar Falls, which Is five miles distant, and connected by a trolley line with Waterloo, I feel certain that 25 or 30 will come, and there is a population of between 7000 and S000, while a like per centage will be here from Fairbanks. "If my section of Iowa can be taken as a criterion for any great portion of the United States cast of the Missouri' River, the attendance will be enormous, but it would be unwise for any Interest In Portland to let up in its work before the Fair closes on the evening of the 15th of October. Interest Individuals to Help. "A vast amount of printed matter is being distributed, the railroads are doing a great work, the Lewis and Clark Pub licity Bureau Is furnishing matter to the newspapers of the country, which is proving acceptable, but In order to get people here we must Interest individuals who reside In the Pacific Northwest in assisting the commercial bodies, the Lewis and Clark officials, the railroad officials and the immigration agents, and keep at the work 12 months in the year. "I expect to be here early In June with a special tourist car, and you must understand that these tourist cars carry a great many people. In many Instances I have seen almost every berth, upper and lower, contain two people, and two thirds of the berths can be counted on among tourist people to contain two people. People prefer these to the regu lar standard sleeper, on account of the privileges they have In the way of carry ing their own lunches and making coffee. Of course, there Is considerable difference In tho expense." PORTLAND MNE SUIT NEAR END All Evidence Is In and Lawyers Will Talk Whole Week. COUNCIL BLUFFS. Ia., April 6. James Doyle and James F. Burns, plaintiff and defendant In the Portland mining suit, were both recalled for additional testi mony today, which Is tho last evidence to be taken. Some of Doyle's testimony was read from the former record, showing that he placed slight value upon an oath. It was shown by probate records that Doyle did not get 5150 from his father's estate in Maine at the time he claimed to have put that amount of money into the mining properties. At the conclusion of the evidence, a number of new exhibits were offered. To morrow morning. Judge Tbornell will hold a' short session of court to confer with the attorneys on instructions to the jury. The Jurors have been excused meanwhile until Monday. Seven of them are farmers and were anxious to get into their fields. Next Monday the argument will begin, and It is expected to last nearly the full week. C. J. Hughes, of Denver, will open for the plaintiff, and John N. Baldwin will close. The speakers for the defense will be Congressman "Walter I. Smith, of this city, and ex-Governor C. S. Thomas, of Colorado. A number of special inter rogatories to the Jury will be offered in behalf of the defense. Banker Drowned or Murdered. LYNN, Mass.. April 6.

CELILO CAjNAL IS ASSURED As Soon as Approval of the Docu ment Is Given, Work Will Be gin on the Artificial Waterway. In fulfillment of its pledge the State of Oregon yesterday delivered to Major "W. C. Langfltt a deed conveying abso lute title to the Government of the en tire right of way for the Dalles-Celllo Canal. This action removes the last obstacles to the construction of the canal and Insures the early beginning of work. The delivery of this deed was made necessary by the condition imposed by Congress that before the canal should be constructed by the Government the state should deed to it free of cost the lands contained within the right of way. This the state pledged Itself to do, and, after much delay, in suits and the arranging for the purchase of the lands, the state not long ago secured full and clear titles to all necessary land. The transfer of this right of way has been made to the Government In one deed, with the title warranted by the state. A full abstract of title to the property accompanies the deed, and these will be forwarded to the depart ment In "Washington for the approval of the United States Attorney-General within the next few days. In speaking of the matter yesterday Major Langfltt said: "The deed conveying title to the Gov ernment of the right of way for the -canal was delivered to me today, and as soon as I can go over It I will for ward It on to Washington. This deed settles everything so far as the state is concerned, and there are no further conditions to be complied with on the part of anyone aside from the Gov ernment. "I have not yet been able to look over the deed and papers carefully, but so far as I can see they are all in order and the title is perfect. "We may pos sibly find some small clerical errors which will have to be corrected, but if there are any such they cannot be of Importance and can easily be rectified.
