THE MORNING OBEGONIAN, MQNDAY, APRIL 24, 1905. 2 ISTES HIT GNE ARMOUR J TWIST Pork-Packer Is Many Millions Long on High -Priced July Wheat. . BUMPER CROP IS COMING Manipulator of the Smashed 3Iay Corner Is Supposed to Have Hather the Best of the Situation. CHICAGO. April ,23. (Special.) Now, that the si-eat May wheat corner has gone to smash and all that remains is the some what costly burying of the corpse, interest 5s turning to the July proposition. In the last fatal hours of the May deal, John W. Gates was forced to make terms "with Armour to minimize the losses. It is held by close observers that Mr. Gates is now in a position to make things highly interesting for Mr. Armour, and drive him to terms in the July deal. Armour is long on July just how long no one but himself knows but within a week or two he hasrtakea on 10,000,000 or 12,000,000 bushels, at an average price of S7 cents. The price now hovers around this figure. Crop conditions are ideal, and with no setback a bumper crop will begin to pour in before the end of July. It is believed that the supply of wheat will drive the price to 75 cents, or lower. Wheat AVill Koll In. All of the Texas crop and the Kansas" bard Winter wheat can be put into Chi cago before the end of July. Other states in the Southern territory will contribute largely to the supply, and here is the hook upon which Gates can hang his proposition to Mr. Armour to walk up and make terms. It is supposed that Gates still has at least 10,000,000 bushels of May wheat. It would be better to sell this to Armour at 6 or S7 cents now than to hold it, pay elevator charges and insurance, and take chances on a bumper crop and 75 cents or less inside of 13 weeks. It is held that the tables have been turned, and Gates is now in a position to dictate the terms. Prospects of Great Crop. Prospects for a great wheat crop were never brighter. Weather conditions have been perfect, and dispatches from Ken tucky and states farther South say the stand of Winter wheat is superb. In the state farther North the plant is not far enough advanced to be in danger of frost. Floods and hot winds, rust and blight are always present perils, but the danger of floods is" not nearly so great as it was last season. This also eliminates much of the dancer of rust. things considered, crop prospects were never better, and the prospects of the wheat long are corre spondingly fading. One feature of the collapsed May corner that seems to have escaped mention Is the fact that the public could not break into the market and take a hand. It is figured today that the Gates party must lose at least 55.000,000 on the May deal. Much of the wheat they hold they bought at $L15, and much of it will prob ably be sold at SS cents. It is predicted that the market -will be petted and ca joled along softly while small lots are parceled out as near $1 as can be ob tained, but the crop prospects are against high prices, and there is bound to be heavy loss. PROVED TS WORTH. United States Fish Commission's Good Work. WASHINGTON, April 23. Special.) The busy season with the officers and employes of the United States Fish Com mission has commenced. Comparatively speaking, the people generally derive probably more direct benefit by what is spent by this commission than for any other appropriations made by Con gress. The total expenditures for a year are considerably under $1,000,000. and year by year, the rivers, bays and lakes of the country are being bounti fully stocked with fish hatched largely by artificial methods. Some 20 years ago fishermen and packers regarded artificial propagation of fish as a fad and an experiment which in the end would prove a worthless ex penditure of money. Time, however, has vindicated the Government. The United States Fish Commission became an established institution and soon old nd hardy fishermen and packers began to swear by the Government and Uncle Sam's propagation scheme. The average layman who would seek an evening's diversification by a fishing expedition also benefited by Uncle Sam's new philanthropic propaganda. He 'found fish to be more plentiful and con sequently "bites" more numerous. It is hardly necessary to add that the Fish Commission was a good thing in the eyes f the man who delighted in waiting for i "nibble." So from a small beginning oyer 20 years ago when the Government appropriated only a few thousands dol lars for the work of propagation and scientific investigation the Fish Commis sion has grown Into an institution that now costs the Government nearly $1,000, OOf a year to maintain. ,e V. considerable portion of this money isused in the support and the construc tion of new hatcheries and fish culture stations throughout the country. For the, reason that the East and middle sec tloi of the country are pretty well sup plied with these stations more and more are! each year erected west of the Mis souri. Blver. They may be found in Montana, Washington. Oregon. Colorado, Calfornia, North Dakota and other statls. An effort was made last year by Senator Heyburn to locate one of thesl stations in Idaho. Due to the shortness of the session and the great amount of work demanding the attention of Ongress, the Senator was unable to pass this bill for the establishment of a $25,0 fish culture station in Idaho. That he wul be successful at the next session of Cqigress. however, there is no doubt what&'er. All told there are some 49 fish hatch eries In the land. They the located in 26 staes and have in attendance a force of about 1000 men. this figure including those employed at headquarters in Wash ington.) Salmon are being propagated at 11 ptatlons, whitefish at seven, lake trout at five, shad at four, pike-perch at three, co at two. striped bass, white perch and yellow perch at .one each, and the lobster at two. The number of species now regularly cultivated and distributed by the com mission is upward of 50, and the arti ficial propagation of new fish is being taken up as work increases and demand arises. A full list of species handled follows: , Thus in the rivers of the Atlantic sea board shad, salmon, striped bass, white perch and yellow perch have been planted; in the 'streams of the Pacific Coast, qulnnat salmon, blueback salmon, silver salmon, humpback salmon, steel heads; the Great Lakes have been stocked with . white lake herring, lake trout and pike perch; the numerous in terior lakes, ponds and streams have been enriched by plants of landlocked salmon, rainbow trout, black spotted trout, brook trout, grayling, black bass, calico basscrappie, rock bass, sun fish, etc., and in the waters of the northeast coast the supply of cod, pollock, flat fish and lobster has been increased. At the Little White Salmon and Big White Salmon substations in Washington, the planting and propagation of qulnnat salmon is being conducted on an enorm ous scale At the former nearly 6,000,000 eggs and 11,000,000 fry have already been deposited, while at the latter about 2,750, 000 eggs and 6,340.000 fry have been dis tributed. The Baker Lake Station in Washington is receiving daily shipments of steelhead trout, qulnnat salmon, blue back salmon, silver salmon and hump back salmon. To date they have received nearly 200,000 eggs (steelhead trout) and nearly 8,000,000 fry. Large plantings of these eggs and. fry are being made in Branch Clover Creek, Speller Creek, Muskrat Lake, Yakima River, Wagoner Lake,. Martin's Lake, Sanpoil Lake, Bear Creek and Ftenck Lake, Fish Pond at Seattle, Trout Lake at Spokane. West Fork of the White Salmon River, and in numerous other streams in the state. The sub-stations at Eagle and Tanner Creeks in the same state have been forwarded considerably over a million qulnnat salmon fry. The Rogue River substation in Oregon is being supplied with qulnnat salmon, steelhead trout and black spotted trout, of which they have received nearly 10, 000,000 fry. The Clackamas station in Oregon is in receipt of qulnnat salmon. land-locked salmon, brook trout, rainbow trout, steelhead trout, black-spotted trout, lake trout and graylings. It has received. of these specimens, over 3,000,000 eggs (qulnnat salmon), about 6,500.000 fry (quln nat salmon), 500,009 of fry divided among the other species and flngerlings, year lings, and adults about 150,000. The graylings were planted in the Walla Walla River, the lake trout In Clackamas River, Sucker, Gorden and Perkins Lakes. The brook trout near Falls City,, near Clackamas, in the Umatilla River, near Bingham, in Deer Lake, Oregon City; Spring Lake, Ashland, and quite a num ber of other creeks and larger streams; black spotted trout at Junction City, Trout Lake. Umatilla County, at Astoria, etc., rainbow trout at Dallas, Stone, La Grande, Albany, The Dalles, in Clatsop and in Umatilla Counties; the land-locked salmon in Clackamas River and steelhead trout in Clear Creek, near Stone, and at Rogue River station and at Astoria. The streams of Idaho are stocked and taken care of by the Bozeman Btatlon in Montana, and the stations in Washington. Large brook trout plantings are being roaae in me souin central part oi ine State. , A summary of the distributions and as slgnments of fish and eggs in the states for the year 190o as estimated and sup plied by the Fish Commission is as fol lows: Idaho, 280,100; Montana, 3,456,640; North Dakota, 412,540; Oregon. 30.417,614; Utah, 87,534; Washington, 29.768,418. Mr. Bowers, the Commissioner, est! mates according to what has already been done that for the fiscal year that will end June 30 next more will have been accomplished la the collection of eggs and fish than ever before. To April 1 of this year there had been collected 1,659,255,735 eggs of all kinds, as compared with SSI, 608,322 eggs collected for the same period during the previous year. He thinks the record will be over 2,000,000,000 of eggs by July 1. Thousands of visitors who. come to Washington go down to Bryan Point to inspect the big hatchery there. Right in the city there Is also at the main head quarters of the commission a wonderful exhibit of general interest. In the big glass tanks are specimens of the game and colored fish and these are "kept on exhibition throughout the year and can be seen to as much advantage in the Win ter as during the balmy Spring and in tne hottest days of Summer. The most beneficial work for the coun try at large being done by the commls sion is In the propagation and distrlbu tion of what are known as food fish, such as shad, salmon, pike, white fish, nick erel, etc Our experts in this business have become so famous and so success ful that other nations are sending men to the United States to learn the methods that have been discovered to increase the supply of fish upon which millions upon millions of people depend. Uncle Sam is so well supplied with fish eggs and young nsn that he Is annually giving to foreign countries hundreds of thousands of speci mens with his compliments. NEW ORK CRIME FIGURES Preponderance of Male AVildness Is Very Marked. NEW YORK, April 24. Although the .population of the county of New York has Increased 140.S70 during the past three years, there has not been a proportionate increase in crime, according to the an nual report of District Attorney Jerome's chief clerk. In the detailed reports of felonies there is no marked advance of figures as com pared with former years. The average number of prisoners charged with felony who were confined in the city prison dur ing the last three years was 176. This is the lowest average on record. The number of indictments and com plaints disposed of during the year 1904 was 5033. Forty-nine per cent resulted in pleas of guilty. A little over 12 per cent of the prisoners were convicted by ver diet.' About 17 per cent were acquitted. The classified list of convictions during 1904 shows a startling preponderance of male criminals. Only 169 women were con victed, as against 2297 men. Of the 169 females, 126 were found guilty of larceny and three of manslaughter. Of the 24S5 persons convicted during the year, 1610 were natives of tho United States The others were divided as fol lows: Germany 182, Ireland 95, England 66. Italy 16, Russia 161, Austria 62, Rou mania 17, Scotland 12, Sweden 13, Greece 5, France 14, Spain 2, other countries 5L SMALL FORCE OF RUSSIANS Reported as Still in Laolin?

Karl Konizak. who was leader of the Austrian band at the St. Louis Exposition last year, was acci dentally killed in trying to board a rail way train at Baden, near Vienna, today. There's nothing like Hood's Sarsaparilla SPECIRL TIN " Fi 100 H00 Lumbermen Are Coming to Portland to Hold Annual Convention. ITINERARY IS ARRANGED Northern Route Is Selected, and the Principal Cities of the Pacific Northwest ' Will Be Visited. Five hundred persons will be attracted to Portland in September by the annual convention of the Concatenated Order of Hoo Hoo. A special train will carry at least 125 to 250 of the- visitors, who will start from St. Louis September 2, arriv ing in Portland September 8. An official bulletin has been issued from Hoo-Hoo headquarters, giving a map of the route selected. The bulletin gives the routing and other general in formation, as follows. What you see on the trip is of great benefit and Immense educational value but what you take along with you is of infinitely more importance. The folks- on this pilgrimage will have In stock good humor and good cheer a radiant vitality that lifts up the heart and refreshes the brain grown weary with the cares of life. As a recreation the trip will bo worth many times Its cost. Railroad and sleeper fare is less expensive than doctors' bills and very much more fun. A change of environment broadens the mind, sharpens the wits and stirs up the liver. Most of us are pitifully narrow. We revolve around in our little circle till we grow a hard shell. It will help u'all to get out Into the atmosphere of the boundless West, where men grow big ideas to match the mountain?, the plains and other things that suggest magnitude and majesty. On the Journey we will have time to make some delightful new acquaintances and to see on the way many Interesting phases of life. There will be extended to us courtesies that will add greatly to the pleasure of the trip. Every luxury of modern travel will be ours. In so far as It will discriminate to the disadvantage of some of the roads, the officers of Hoo-Hoo would have greatly preferred to select no route and run no special train. The Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo embraces in its membership the high officials of practically every road traversing the continent. These men are all good Hoo-Hoo and have done faithful and noble work in furthering the Interests of the ordw. We would gladly have left the whole thing to these men and let each road take what it could get of the travel to the Hoo-Hoo annual. It was felt, however, that if the matter was left In this shape each man to make the trip out. to Portland by himself and by the route to be figured out by himself It would result in a very small attendance. To state it differently, it was felt that if we could arrange for a special train to take out anywhere from 125 to 250 per sons and put the whole thing before each" man as a definite and concrete proposi tion a very much larger number (ft peo ple would take advantage of It and the trip be Infinitely mOre enjoyable. This consideration, and this alone, led up to the idea of a special train and the conse quent necessity of selecting a route. The general Idea ofthe committee was to select some Northern route for the going trip and some central route for the return. It was felt that a Northern route was Imperative for the reason that such a route will take us through the great lumber centers of Spokane. Seattle and Tacoma and permit of stops being made at these points. Had a central route been selected for the "going" trip a special .side trip from Portland, at an added expense, would have been necessary for those and we surmise the number of such to be large who desire to visit the great lum ber centers named. Consideration of these facte led to the selection of the Northern Pacific. A central route for the return trip was selected for the reason that it was felt that a more southern trip would traverse a less picturesque country and be less comfortable on ac count of dust and heat. The main idea that the committee had in view was to select such a route as would traverse the most picturesque mountain country, take in as many as possible of the points of greatest Inter est to lumber people without side trips and to return by a route that would take them down through Central and Southern California, returning finally across the country by a route which while In Itself picturesque and Interesting Is reasonably free from dust and excessive heat. The routing Is as follows: Chicago to SL Paul by Chicago & North western. St. Louis to St. Paul by Chicago, Bur lington &. Quincy. St. Paul to Seattle and Portland by Northern Pacific St. Paul to Seattle and Portland. ' Portland down to Sacramento by the world-famous "Shasta Line" of the Southern Pacific. Sacramento to San Francisco over Southern Pacific. San Francisco "to Los Angeles by an other world-famous route, the "Coast Line" of the Southern Pacific Los Angeles to Sacramento by another equally picturesque and Interesting line of the Southern Pacific the noted "Val ley Route." through the San Joaquin Val leycelebrated in song and story and oft dreamed of by all readers of Bret Harte. Joaquin Miller and other of the virile writers of the breezy West. Salt Lake City to Omaha over the Union Pacific Omaha to Chicago over the Chicago & Northwestern. On one point the committee was not only unanimous, but enthusiastic. It was that If any man goes out to Portland on Ihls special train or to the annual meeting, no matter how he goes and who does not make that swing through Cal ifornia, will miss one of the greatest op portunities of his life. From communi cations already received, and which were before the committee at its two sittings. It seems that so far practically every one going out to Portland will make this trip. The route selected through California Is the most beautiful In the world, barring none. The age-long celebrated points on the Riviera and the mountains of Swit zerland .cannot equal it. The committee urges that eyervone going to Portland will make his arrangements to take this trip to Los Angeles. The special train will be a duplicate or counterpart of tho famous "North Coast Limited," going out from Chicago over the Chicago & Northwestern and Northern Pacific to Portland. This is one of tho finest trains In America. Our spe cial train will consist of as lino an en gine as the road can furnish; enough baggage cars to take our legitimate bag gage, and as many of the 'contudlnaries" as space will permit; a standard full length dining-car (it Is figured that one dining-car will suffice If the number on the train does not exceed the mini mum limit of 125; If somthing like 150 or 200 go on the train two dining-cars will be put on). The balance of the train will ponsist of an observation club car (every body knows what an observation car is on one of these continental lines); and then the sleepers, which are to be the regula tion standard Pullman make. The itinerary is as follows: Leave St. Louis 7 A. M. Saturday, Sep tember 2. via C. B. & Q. Leave Chicago 6:30 P. M. Saturday, Sep tember 2. via Chicago & Northwestern Railway. Arrive St. Paul 7:20 A. M. Sunday, Sep tember 3-. Leave St. Paul 10:15 A. M. Sunday, Sep tember 3, via Northern Pacific Passing through the great prairie farm district of Minnesota and North Dakota.

HE SPENT MONTHS IN JAIL Action Was Brought to Prove Part nership in Three Claims of the Portland Company in the Cripple Creek District. COUNCIL BLUFFS. la., April 23. The jury In the Portland mining suit, in which James Doyle brought suit to recover an amount aggregating $1,000,000, which he alleged was due him for his Interest in the Tidal Wave, Bobtail No. 2 and Devil's Own claims, now a part of the property of the Portland Mining Company, at mid night brought in a verdict for defendant. The Portland mining suit, in which James Doyle is plaintiff and James F. Burns defendant, was an action to prove a partnership in the Bobtuil No. 2. Devil's Own and Tidal Wave claims, located in the Cripple Creek district in 1S32. The properties now belong to the Portland Gold Mining Company, stock of that cor poration having been issued to Burns In exchange for them. In the case just decided Doyle claimed 5561.62S.13 as the value of his half of the stock with dividends and Interest. Burns line of defense was that he and Doyle were partners In the Portland claim, for which Doyle received his share of stock, and in no others. The case dates back to February 7. 1S93, when a. petition was filed in the district court vhere claiming 5620.000. Notice was served on Burns while he was attending the annual stockholders' meeting of the company In Council Bluffs. He was at that time and until February of this year president of the company. Burns filed a special appearance and motion to quash the notice, objecting to the court's jurisdiction. Judge Smith en tered an order overruling the motion and directing the defendant to plead. Burns refused to come into court, and instead commenced an action against Doyle in Colorado to enjoin him from proceeding with the suit here, and Judge Lunt granted an injunction. Doyle came to Council Bluffs and as Bums had ignored the Iowa court's order by falling to plead, Doyle disre garded the Colorado injunction, took a default against Burns, proved up and wa"s given judgment for 5717,025. Doyle then returned home, was sum moned before Judge Lunt and ordered by him to set aside the judgment In Iowa within three days. This he re fused to do and was sent to jail, where he remained for eight months. In July. 1S99. on motion of Burns counsel.
