Nicomedia and Ferndene Go
trSea Today.
FLOUR AND GRAIN . FOR JAPS
Record for Discharging and Un
loading Cargo Is Now- Held by
-the Nicomedia, Which Ar
rived In Port Sunday.
"Within one hour yesterday afternoon
two big steamships cleared at the Cus
tom House for the Orient. The vessels,
the Nicomedia and the Ferndene, will
leave down early today, and start across
the Pacific at the same time. Their car
goes are valued at $483,159. "
At the last moment the plan of clearing
the Ferndene for Shanghai as a protec
tive measure against possible boarding
and investigation toy Russian cruisers was
abandoned. "Japanese porta;" her true
destination, appears on the documents.
She has been in Portland since May 2.
Extra quick time was made on the
Portland & Asiatic Company's boat Nico
media. She reached the harbor early
Sunday, and after six days has discharged
one full cargo and is ready to go to sea
with another load.
Seven days has been the fastest time
on any other Portland & Asiatic boat
heretofore. The Nicomedia Is behind
xtime as it is, and work on her was rushed
continually.
The two largest items on board the
Nicomedia are 40,000 barrels of flour, val
ued at $160,570, and 150,000 feet of, lumber.
There are also 280 cases of cigarettes, 335
packages of machinery, ten tons of
leather, 150 bales of cotton for Japanese
mills, 1000 rolls of rofing paper, 250 bi
cycles for Tokio, 2880 kegs of nails, 3003
bales of hay, shipped to a Chinese port
and evidently destined for the Russian
army, and one automobile, the first ever
shipped eastward on a boat of this line.
The Inevitable breakfast food is there,
too, for 31 cases are on uoard. The value
of the entire cargo is $268,187.
The cargo of the Ferndene is valued at
$217,002. There are 22,844 sacks of wheat
and 54,268 sacks of flour. She Is under
charter by Taylor, Young & Co., of
Portland.
TWO MONTHS OX PACIFIC.
Has Elba, From Portland, Enters
Hongkong Instead of Tslngtau.
Fifty-seven days was consumed by the
British steamship Ras Elba on the passage
from Portland to China. At that she did
not arrive at her destination, Tslngtau,
in Northern China, but at Hongkong,
several hundred miles south. The infor
mation that she reached Hongkong Slay
13 was received by the Merchants Ex
change yesterday.
The Albers Milling Company, of Port
land, which sent out the Ras Elba to
China, has received no notice of her ar
rival, and does not know what caused the
delay. In the 57 days ehe was out, there
was plenty of time to reach Tslngtau, un
load and proceed to Hongkong. She left
down from Portland March 16 and sailed
from Astoria the next day.
The Ras Elba's cargo was doubtless in
tended for the Russian army. It consisted
of 63,345 bushels of oats, valued at $30,000,
loaded at Seattle, and 23,545 bales of hay.
valued at $62,000, loaded at Portland. She
would have been a pretty prize for a Jap
anese cruiser.
It is probable that either the Ras Elba
suffered an accident to her machinery or
took a circuitous route in order to avoid
any possible Interference by the Japanese.
.Repairing Gray's Harbor Bouts.
ABERDEEN. Wash., May 19. (Spe
cial.) Extensive Improvements are being
made on the boats which are to ply the
river and handle the ocean beach excur
sions this Summer. On the Harbor Belle
an entirely new set of engines is to be In
stalled. The boat was towed to Cosmop
olls this afternoon to receive the new ma
chinery, which arrived there yesterday.
The engines will be a great improvement
over her old ones. Her paddle-wheel Is
being fitted with new blades, and the deck
planking strengthened. She will be prac
tically a new boat.
The Skookum is also receiving attention.
Her two tandem compound engines have
been overhauled with the rest of the ma
chinery, and a new foremast and kingpost
have been put in place. Her towing will
be mostly for her owners, the Gray's
Harbor Boom Company. It is expected
that a number of changes will be made in
the Harbor Queen also.
Another Steamer for Doe's Company.
Among the passengers on the steamer
Roanoke, which leaves this evening, will
be Mr. Starbuck, a member of the com
pany which formerly owned the Tlllle
Starbuck, well known on the Coast. He Is
to meet Manager Doe, of the North
Pacific Company, owners of the Roanoke,
In Eureka, and it is expected that the
purchase of another coasting steamer by
the Doe company will be consummated
there. R. M. Bode, of the A. B. C Brew
ing Company, of St. Louis, and R. D.
Clark, of the Seattle Brewing & Malt
Company, are also going south on the
Roanoke. She arrived in port early yes
terday mornnlg. H. Young, local agent of
the steamer, has Just issued a descriptive
folder, telling of the resources of the ports
touched by the Roanoke.
Arago Is Faster Now,
Twelve miles an hour, her required
speed, and even better, was made by the
United States eurvey steamer Arago yes
terday morning. The propeller first placed
gave her only ten miles an hour at the
best. Architect Ballin designed another
propeller. The Arago made the run up
the Willamtete from the Government
moorings to the steel bridge in S3 minutes.
Allowing for the current," the corrected
distance traveled was 7.1 miles, at the
rate of about 12.9 miles an hour.
Engines for Coos Bay.
Among the freight on the steamer Alli
ance, which left down yesterday after
noon, were three logging engines, a trac
tion engine and a rock crusher, billed for
Coos Bay. There was also over 125 tons
of freight for Eureka. C. P. Baumgart
ner .agent of the California & Oregon
Coast Steamship Company, went down on
the Alliance, headed for Eureka. He will
return on the next trip.
Replace Cayucos Buoy.
The Lighthouse Board of the 12th dis

DR. WISE ON THE FAIR
Returns from the .East With. Good
Words for the Exposition.
Dr. Stephen S. Wise, who has just re
turned from a visit to the East, brings
back with him the rows that many of
the prominent thinkers of the Nation will
be present In Portland during the course
of the Exposition, and will address audi
ences in the city during their stays here.
He states that it was a joy to him to
find how widespread and deep was the
Interest in the East in the lewis and
Clark Fair. He is also pleased to be able
to announce that while in the East he was
able to secure the participation of sev
eral noted men in the congresses to be
held In Portland during the Summer and
the duration of the Exposition. District
Attorney William T. Jerome, of New
York, has consented to give an address
at the Civics Congress. Lyman Abbott,
editor of the Outlook and the successor
of Henry Ward, Beecher. could not prom
ise to give one of the Sunday addresses,
but he promised to make every endeavor
to accept the invitation of the Lewis and
Clark authorities.
"Through the columns of the Evening
Post, of New York." aid Drr Wise, "I
told New Yorkers of the preparedness of
the Lewis and Clark Exposition and
also that the two chief exhibits at the
Exposition will be the Rose City and
the majesty of the Northwest country:
that the greatest exhibit at the Lewis and
Clark Fair Is the State of Oregon."
Hosts of people in the East in discussing
the Exposition with Dr. Wise told of their
plans to visit the West during the period
of the Exposition, and see Oregon and
the Western States.
"For my part," said Dr. Wise, "I feel
that a new era will begin for Oregon and
the Northwest country with the first of
June, the date of the opening of the
Lewis and Clark Exposition, an era of
better and higher things In every way."
Break in Main Power Line.
The main power line of the Portland
General Electric Company went on a
strike at some point between Portland
and Oswego last night about 7 o'clock
and quit work for the greater part of the
night. Linemen were sent out to repair
the break, which they were able to do.
but during the time the city was cut off
from all connection with the power sta
tion at the Willamette Falls. The steam
plant at the foot of Twenty-first street
was brought to the rescue, however, so
that no great Inconvenience was suffered
by the patrons of the ctompany here.
No damage was done by the break other
than the slight delay caused at the first.

THE gasoline motor-car, the arrival of
which the Portland public has been
expecting for so many weeks, reached
the city yesterday morning behind a
freight train fcnd is now in the Alblna
sho,pf, where It will be overhauled and
put in shape for service as soon as it Is
possible for the work to be done.
The feeding device which regulates the
flow of gasoline to the engine became de
ranged a short distance the other side
of Huntington and it was decided to bring
tho car to Portland -dead" and have
what readjustment is necessary made
here. The car will be kept in the shops
until it is thoroughly overhauled -and
made fit for Its trials and future work on
the West Side divisions.
As yet no plans have been made for
the new car and no schedule has been
arranged. It has not even been decided
definitely where it will run, though it
will in all probability be on the West
Bide lines of the- Southern Pacific
Whether or not '"it will bo sent over the
Yamhill or the West Side, however, has
not been determined and will not be for
some time yet.
The new car is a queer-looking thing,
being built on different lines than those
commonly -used in the construction of
either street-cars or the heavier intcr
urban cars.
It was built by the mechanical depart

PAINTINGS OF NOTE
Work, of the World's Greatest
Artists in Display.
DU M0ND TELLS OF PLANS
Exhibit at the Fair Will Contain
Works, tlio Aggregate Valae df
Which Will "Exceed. One
Million Dollars.
In a low vaultlike structure more than
$1,000,090 worth of the world's famous
paintings will be displayed at the Fair.
The money value Is given merely as an
indication of the fact that Frank V. Du
Mond, who has collected this exhibit, has
chosen pictures most worth seeing. He
has covered every important movement
and school In the last S00 years, and of
the American artists, both living and
dead, there Is hardly one who has risen
to any degree of fame who will not have
a canvas there.
Mr. DuMond, who has been claimed by
Portland ever since ha married Miss
Helen Savier, daughter of Mrs. Henry
Jones, has taken great care in the selec
tion of the exhibit, as he had a purpose
in view. When seen yesterday he said:
"The pictures which will be exhibited I
have chosen with the double purpose of
showing those masterpieces already In
private collections-In Portland and giving
chronological groups of the best painters.
There has been shown here the inclina
tion among wealthier people to appre
ciate good paintings, but as these are
kept In private homes the majority of the
people never see them.
"There will be represented the foremost
artists of the country, not by individual
painting, but by groups, ranging from
two or three to half a dozen, chosen with
a purpose of explaining "the scope and
various points of vlewand versatility of
the different painters.
"Group exhibits have come to be re
garded as the only kind of any real sig
nificance and Importance, since their great
advantage Is to represent a painter In an
all-'round manner and to Introduce him to
the public In his various moods.
The other great feature of the exhibit
is that itcovers the ground from' early
English, French. Dutch, down to the pres
ent day. While, of course, not every
artist could be represented, there arc suf
ficient examples to carry the epochs
through In chronologic --1 -order.
"Vhe collection will lie such as any per
manent museum of f.rt should have In
order to give anything like a comprehen
sive Idea of all art this side of the
Renaissance.
"There will be an entire history of im
pressionism, which, by the way. Is a far
different thing from what it Is popularly
supposed to be. Every painter of import
ance in this movement, from Manet down
to-mon of the present day, will be repre
sented. "The great period in France, about 1830.
Including what is known as the Barblzon
school, will have men like Troyon. De la
Croix, Corot. Millet. Rousseau, Diaz. Wat
teau. Michel. Dupre, Davit, Monticelli,
Isavcy and Jacquc.
"Of the English there will be John
Crome. J. M. W. Turner. Romncy. Sir
William Becchy and many others. I have
also been fortunate In securing some
paintings of Puvls de Chevanne, the mural
painter. His easel pictures are very
scarce.

mittent, and also for high-speed inter
urban work.
After some little- preliminary running
about the shop yards, during which the
car successfully hauled a heavy modern
passenger coach weighing 90,000 pounds,
and also ran up a sharp grade of 7.6 per
cent, or about 400 feet to the mile, the
car being stopped and started repeatedly
on the grade, it was ready for its initial
long-distance run, which took place Sun
day morning, April 2. 1905.
Leaving Omaha about 10 o'clock In the
morning, the run was made west to Val
ley, on the main line of the" Nebraska
division of the Union Pacific, the entire
distance being- made in a very' satisfac
tory, manner, especially on the return
trip, when the schedule for fast passen
ger trains was easily maintained.
Another trip was made on Sunday.
April 16, from Omaha to Grand Island, a
distance of 153 miles. The car left at S:15
A. M.. arriving at Grand Island without
the slightest miphap. From Valley to
Fremont, a distance of 11.4 miles, the run
was made in 15 minutes, beating regular
fchedule time made by the Overland Lim
ited train. Schuyler to Columbus, 16 miles,
was made at the rate of 33 miles an hour.
On April 23 the car left North Platte.
Neb., at 7:20 A. M. and arrived at Denver
at S:45 P. M,. having made the 278 miles
in a very easy manner.
It was demonstrated that the car ran
very smoothly and noiselessly, and that
no smell of gasoline or oil was "to be
noticed In the passenger end of the car:
also that It could be easily handled by a
crew of two men, a. raetormaa and &
conductor.

The American field of art, Mr. TJuMend
says. Is about as completely covered' as
possible. When asked for even a partial
list of names, be said the task was really
too large. However, he spoke of many
men, living and dead, and among athem
mentioned the half-dozen or so "best
known names, and many others, which he
spoke of as highly, saying' that their
work was every bit as commendable as
the others and as important in the
progress of arc though they are less gen
erally known.
While Mr. DuMond was speaking a mes
senger boy brought a telegram saying
that Millet's famous "Man With the Hoe"
could be secured, and that insurance on
it was 5100,000.
SIGMA CHI CONVENTION.
Greek Letter Sqclety Will HoldrSes
sion in Portland.
Arrangements are now being-made for
holding the provincial convention of the
Sigma Chi college fraternity in Portland
August 16 and 17 next. Sigma Chi "is one
of the leading Greek-letter societies in the
United States, having a membership of
several thousand undergraduates and
alumni of the various Important universi
ties and colleges. '
The Pacific Coast province includes the
States of Oregon, California. Washington.
Nevada and Colorado. There are flourish
ing chapters at the State Universitiesvof
California. Washington, Nevada and Colo
rado, as well as at Stanford. There Is no
chapter at Oregon University, but there
are several alumni members In this city
and other places in the state.
The 6rder was founded 50 years ago at
Miami University, Ohio, and the semicen
tennial will be celebrated by the National
convention to bo held at Cincinnati in
June.
A well-known Portland man. Major T.
C. Bell, has the distinction of being one of
the four survivors of the original chapter
founded in 1S55. There were six of the
founders, two having died during the past
50 years. Those still living besides Major
Bell are: General Ben P. Runkle, of
Maine; Dr. D. W. Cooper, a prominent
Presbyterian divine of New York, and
Judge J. P. Ooldwell. of Mississippi.
These fathers of the order are all expect
ed to be present at the Cincinnati conven
tion, and, it lfl hoped, will visit the prov
ince convention in Portland.
In all probability several hundred Sigma
Chis will attend the latter meeting, and
the Exposition authorities will be asked
to designate one of the convention days as
Sigma Chi day. It is decided that all
alumni of the order on the Pacific Coast
communicate at once with Major Thomas
C. Bell, of 579 Nchalcm avenue. In this
city, in order that an estimate of the con
vention attendance may be made.
NEBRASKA'S FIXE EXHIBIT.
Stale Will Make a Wonderful Display
or Corn.
G. Lu Loomla and H. G. Shcdd. two of
the three commissioners of the Nebraska
State Commission to the Lewis and Clark
Exposition, will arrive in Portland this
morning to supervise the Installation of
their state's exhibit. Accompanying them
Is "William James, the Superintendent of
Agriculture, an electrician, a designer and
decorator, and corp of assistants. The
Nebraska pavilion and percola. one of the
largest in the Agricultural palace, and In
reality a state building under the main
roof, is practically finished and the plac
ing of the. exhibits will begin Monday.
Two carloads of com and sheaf grain,
the finest of the 1501 crop, have already
arrived, which will be rapidly installed
according to the plans selected by the
commissioners. It Is the Intention to make
corn the chief exhibit, of which Nebraska
raises morer varieties than any other
state, and some GO or 70 will be shown.

the aim being from the first to Improve
upon old-established practices and con
ventional designs, and to Introduce fea
tures more in, keeping with twentieth-century
methods.
The front end is tapered off to a point,
the rear is rounded, the roof perfectly
plain and oval-shaped and tapering down
from the top toward the front, the car
being built somewhat after the lines of
the racing yacht Reliance. The whole
exterior de6lgn affords the. least possible
wind resistance, permitting of great
speed. t
The truck carrying the car is of original
design, with many new features, embody
ing points of tha street-car. Pullman and
locomotive trucks. The special feature
of the car truck is the arrangement of
the springs, which are so constructed
and applied as to avoid entirely the
teetering action ordinarily experienced
with the usual four-wheel trolley-car
truck.
The motive power is a six-cylinder gaso
line engine. It is a very powerful piece
ot machinery for Its size and weight. It
Is capable of being run up to EO0 revolu
tions a- minute, and the speed of the car
is limited only by the choice- of gearing
from the engine to the driving wheels.
The car as built Is at present geared
down to a maximum speed of about 40
miles an hour, hut by sOght 'changes It
could very easily be geared up to 69 or
70 miles an hour.
One of the problems In passenger cars
of today is the question ot ventilation.

ot .car attendants. In this motor xar the
stuffy atmosphere experienced in steam
asd trolley has 'bees entirely everoose.
HEALTH
is the
Most
In buying food-articles, you must con
sider several things: Economy, Results,
Easy Handling, Reliability; but the most
important is Health.
Health means everything. In clothes,
furniture, etc., if the buyer gets a poor or
imitation article, the only harm is loss of
money. In buying, food-articles, if imi
tations are supplied, there is a loss-of
money, and probably an injury to health
which is beyond price.
Remember these facts when buying

Fresh air is being continually drawn
Into the car in large quantities and the
foul air is taken off through suction by
the special ventilators. During cold
weather this cold air, before being dif
fused through the car, is passed over hot
pipes and heated, thus giving, "Winter or
Summer, a continuous supply ot fresh air
at any desired temperature.
The hygienic cleaning- of passenger cars
is attracting a great deal of attention in
the United States and has always been a
problem in the railroad world. In this
car tho design, is such that corners and
pockets have been eliminated and the
floor is celled water tight so that the car
can be flushed out with hose and hot
water from roof to floor without any
injurious effects and leaving It entirely
clean and fresh.
The car is lighted by acetylene gas and
has a powerful acetylene headlight. The
burners are covered with opalescent pan
els, which give a strong- and well-diffused
light, but softened so that It is possible
to read in any part of the car.
It is painted on the outside a beautiful
maroon with aluminum and green trirrf
roings, and the finish inside la ot oil and
varnish. , .
The car is strongly built, practically Im
possible to telescope or crush, thereby af
fording great safety to passengers in case
of accidents or wrecks."1

THAT EXPOSITION DISPUTE.
It Will Be Determined Tonight
Whether It Goes to Courts.
It is expected that the State Commis
sion of the Lewis and Clark Exposition
will determine tonight whether or not the
controversy existing between It and the
Lewis. and Clark Corporation will be sub
mitted to the courts. Action by the ex
ecutive committee of the corporation is
expected this afternoon on the attitude
of the body concerning the demand oUhe
State Commission that rules governing
certain departments shall be submitted to
the latter.
In the event that the matters in dispute
are made the subject of litigation, it Is
not thought that the suits will harm the
Exposition in any way, the Idea being
that everything could be arranged by
stlpulation, as the only point at issue
appears to be the interpretation of law.
Officials of the corporation seem inclined
to think that the affairs of the Exposition
would be deranged greatly if every detail
concerning the administration had to be
submitted to another body before final
action could be taken.
TABERNACLE CHOIR COMING
Trip to Lewis and Clark Exposition
Announced at Ogden.
OGDEN. Utah, May 19. The trip of the
Ogden Taiernacle choir to Portland is
definitely assured. Announcement was
made to that effect tonight at the regular
choir practice. It is expected that the trip
will be made at the time when the Na
tional Irrigation Congress Is In session in
Portland, so that. If desired, the choir
may sing "The Irrigation Ode," which
was sung at the time the Congress met In
Ogden. The authorities of the Mormon
Church at Salt Lake have given the trip
their approval.
An Autograph Letter of Lincoln's.
OREGON CITY, Or.. May 19. (Special.)
Among the many interesting- relics that
will be exhibited at the Lewis and Clark
Fair will be a framed letter that was
written by President Lincoln under date
of December 2, 1861. This communication
is now the property of Miss Mary ' S.
Barlow, of Barlow, this county. The let
ter was addressed to Mrs. M. A. Barlow
and was an expression of thanks from
the President for a beautiful silk quilt
that had been presented to him. The
quilt was afterwards sold for 5500. An
other Interesting- curiosity is the old
fashioned carriage, the property of the
late Wm. Barlow. This vehicle was re
ceived In Oregon In 1S45, after a voyage
around the Horn. It will also be included
In the exhibit at the 1905 Exposition.
Children Slake Unique Exhibits.
XEWBURG, May IS. Principal R. W.
Kirk and his corps of assistants are bus
ily employed in arranging the Newburg
school children's exhibit for the Lewis
and Clark Fair. A public exhibition of
the work was made Friday which was
attended by nearly 1000 people, and the
great display was viewed with admira
tion. It will rank with the very best in
the state.
A unique feature is an immense revolv

circumference, upon which the -children
have placed the continents of the world
in pulp paper, with mountain ranges
raised above the water surface.
