EXOIAXAGER DUG DALE HERE
Former Baseball Magnate Visits the
ICrls and Clark Fair.
Daniel Edward Dugdalc, of Seattle,
baseball magnate and former manager of
the Portland tearfS, drifted into town yes
terday for a short visit to the Exposition.
"Dug" Is accompanied by his wife, and
from Portland they will travel east for
an extended trip.
"Well, Dug, how is baseball?" the genial
magnate was asked.
"Everything Is lovely," replied the
Rainier Beach chicken rancher. "I
thought I was out of the game, but they
won't let roe alone. So I reckon I'll stay
with It to a limited extent for a short time
longer."
In response to a query as to his busi
ness in the East, Dugdale replied: "I am
going partly on business and partly for
pleasure. I have worked hard on my
ranch this summer, as you can notice by
my appearance, and I think I have earned
a vacation."
The fat man is actually some 20 or 39
pounds lighter than when in this city last
spring, and looks In perfect health. He Is
still interested in the PaclflcNorthwest
circuit, and says that there are bright
prospects for a paying circuit next sea
son. He is somewhat noncommittal as to
the towns to be comprised in the league
"up North," but expressed himself as
confident that It would prove a success.
He will remain in Portland or a day or
two, taking in the Lewis and Clark Fair,
which he says Is the greatest exposition
for compactness that he has-seen in the
last 10 years, having attended Chicago.
Buffalo, Omaha and St. Louis. In his
opinion Portland surpasses those In
beauty of Its exhibits.

Big Agrlc Practiced lor Hours In
Summer Vacation.
CORVALLIS, Or., Sept. 20. (Special.)
Managor Stlmson received telegraphic
advice from Manager Decoto this morn
ing, fixing October 28, instead of Octo
ber 21, as the date for the O. A. C foot
ball game -with the University of Call
'fornia at Berkeley. The change was
made at the request of Manager De
coto, but was also desired by Manager
Stlmson, -who "will now be in a position
to close dates with other Northwest
teams for October games, negotiations
for which have been delayed sometime
pending settlement of the date for the
Berkeley game.
Hard practice takes place on the col
lege field each evening now, with two
and throe teams at work. Will Dunlap,
last year's guard, has Joined the squad,
and so have Finn, Little and others of
last year's second team, as well as
Rumbaugh, the former crack end on
the Albany College team, and two years
ago end on the O. A. C. eleven.
One of the new features Is that Cap
tain Root comes back this year as a
kicker of the first clas.s, promising to
equal cx-Captaln Pllklngton In that
very Important department of the game.
It is claimed that during' vacation.
while harvesting in the sagebrush re
gion, ho remembered that the Multno
mah and University of Oregon games
wore both lost by only a goal kick.
and that he spent hours and hours at
practice in booting, so that no calam
ity of the sort could happen this year.

ORDINIJN'CE TO BE TESTED
By Friendly Suit In the State Cir

The question as to whether the Federal
Government or the Portland City Council
has Jurlpdlction and control over the nav
igable waters of tho United States is in
volved In a friendly suit in the State Cir
cuit Court brought by Harbormaster Ben
BIglln against Fred S. Morris, of the Ore

The City Council recently passed an or
dinance. Introduced by Councilman Rush

rowboats to carry life preservers.
The launch and rowboat men claim that
the ordinance Is unjust and that It will
put them out of business, especially the
rowboat men. The claim life proservcrg
do not last long with the best of treat
ment and If they are left to the mercy of
the ordinary user of rowboats they will
soon be destroyed or lost, and the extra
expense will ruin the business. The

OCEANO IS IN QUARANTINE
Ordered There by Dr. Earlc, Federal
Quarantine Officer.
ASTORIA. Ore.. Sept 20. (Special.)
Tne -British steamship Occano arrived In
this evening after an uneventful trip of
22 days from KuchnTotsu. Japan. Like
the Imaum, the Oceano came from Shang
hai before calling at the Japanese port,
and she brings 1700 tons of supposedly
plague Infected water ballast taken from
the Yangstse-KIang River. Dr. Earle. the
federal quarantine officer, has ordered the
Occano to the Government quarantine
station, on the north shore of the river,
where she will be thoroughly fumigated.
She will then be taken outside the bar to
discharge her infected ballast and replace
i,t with sea water before proceeding up
the river.
Captain F. W. Davies. master of the
Oceano. brings no consular bills of health,
but he has a Japancso bill of health,
translated, and the same certified to by
the American Consul at Nagasaki, a docu
ment almost identical with one brought
by Captain Pcmberthy, of the Imaum, so
this vessel will also be subject to a fine of
$5000 when she enters at the custom house.
Tho Oceano will be hold In quarantine
for five days.

Steamer Dakota) Makes Greatest
- - Long-Dlstancc Voyage.
ST. PAUL, Sept 20. The Great North
ern Steamship Company made public a
statemrtt today showing that the world
famous " run of the battleship Oregon
from the North Pacific to the North At
lantic during the Spanish War has been
outdone by the Great Northern Company's
steamship Dakota. The Dakota ran from
New York to Seattle, making her first
stop at CoroneL Chile, and another at
San Francisco.
The Oregon on her trip from Puget
Sound to Cuba made within 363 knots of
the steaming distance of the Dakota. Tho
Oregon made several stops. San Fran
cisco, Callao, Port Tamara, Rio Janolro,
Bahla nnd Barbadoes. This, with the
detour to avoid Spanish ships. Increased
the Oregon's mileage. She went through
the straits of MagellanX whereas the Da
kota went around the Horn. The Dakota
put in at Coronel for coal and at San
Franclreo to discharge cargo, but did not
stop an hour owing to defects. From
New York to Coronel for 30 days, the pro
peller went 2.7C0.O00 revolutions without
one stop.

Brings Mixed Cargo of Cement, Glass
and Liquor,.
. The Swedish ship Clan MacFarlane ar
rived in port yesterday from Antwerp via
Port Los Angeles with a mixed cargo,
consisting principally of cement glass
preserves and whiskies.
The ship encountered tho same rough
weather that partly wrecked a number of
ships bound for Portland, but came
around the Horn without any serious ac
cidents. She has not been chartered for
her outward trip and makes one more dis
engaged sailing vessel in the harbor.
Steamer Captains Arrested.
Captain E. W. Baughman, of the
steamer Telephone, and Captain Fred
Sherman, of th stpnmor rd na
zert were arrested last night by Har-
xiieiiu, on warrants
charging: them with exceeding tho
eight-mile speed limit on the Willam
ette River. Waves created by the two
steamers while racing1 through the
harbor are said to have parted the ca
ble which held the Oriental freighter
Arabia last at the flour mills; where
she is taking cargo. With the assist
ance of longshoremen, the big- freighter
was prevented from drifting down the
river. It took over two hours to bring:
the Arabia back to her moorings after
the cable parted. Both captains were
released on $50 ball.
