14 THE MOKNTXU OKEGOUM, THTJKDAY. MAT 24, 1D06. ELDER IS BEACHED Leaks in Hull Will Be Repaired Before She Is Docked. SAILS IN THREE MONTHS Peterson Praises Work, of Captain Baker, to Whom Credit Is Due, and Proposes to Banquet Successful Crew. Finding that the strained condition of the hull of the Geo. W. Elder and the numerous leaks near her plates would not warrant the risk of bringing; the wrecked vessel to the drydock; last night. Captain H. "W. Baker, the successful wrecker who had succeeded In accomplishing this en gineering feat which had ' baffled many others for the better part of a year, con Jerred with Owner J. H. Peterson, and the result was that it was decided to beach the vessel at Sandy Island, and while In that position to repair her sufficiently to stand the trip to St. Johns. , Peterson Highly Klated. J. H. Peterson, the owner of the Elder, brrived In Portland yesterday, and the successful climax of the operations con ducted by Captain Baker, whom he broilRht from Michigan, is a source of considerable satisfaction to the owner, who prides himself on the possession of a. craft which is likely to prove one of the most profitable Investments he ever made. In referring to the floating of the vessel, the new owner said: "You can bet I am pleaped at the outcome of this offair, for tv good many people In this town have "I.ITKY JACK" I-ETERSON. John H. Peterson, the owner of thf steamship Geo. W. Elder, -which has been successfully hauled off the rocks near Goble. where she had been lying partly submerged for 18 months, has earned for himself the soubriquet of "Lucky Jack." tor during the past eight or ten years he has Invested his money In a doxen or more enterprises that had been passed up as foolhardy by other business men of. the city, but which seemed to bear a charm once Peterson's money backed them. Coming here some 20 years ago, Peterson embarked in the logging business, which pursuit he followed for several years. Eventually he built a sawmill at the foot of Seventeenth street, which for a long time bore his name, and this mill was really the starter of the great lumbering enter prise now called the Eastern & West ern Mills. Peterson's ventures In the specula tive field are always fruitful of something out of the ordinary and have so far always turned out ex ceedingly profitable to "Lucky Jack." Many tales of his so-called wildcat Investments are told on the street, but the best one Is relative to a deal whereby he came Into possession of a quarter-block adjacent to the busi ness district, which was sold to Peter eon for $20,000. and the persons -who consummated the sale congratulated themselves on having thrown the "bunk" Into the purchaser, but Imagine their surprise and chagrin when "Lucky Jack" sold the prop erty within six months for five times, what he paid for It, or $100,000. Every newsboy In town knows Peter son for occasionally he takes a notion to buy up all the papers In sight and the newsies line up to reap the har vest. Many tales of his eccentricities are told, but In spite of his oddities he knows how to drive a bargain. been telling me that I was a chump, and that I had bought a hole in which to sink trnme of my money, but I reckon they will sit up and take notice when the Elder is placed In commission, for I Intend to fit her up with the latest appliances, and she will be a veritable palace when ready for eea. I place the value of the vessel, under the present shipping conditions on the Coast, at very close to $200,000, and that is not such. a bad bargain, when one con siders that the cost of raising her was hardly one-third of that sum. All praise Is due Captain Baker, who engineered the Job. for he was master of the situation from the time he first saw the position of the wreck, at which time he stated he would accomplish the task of floating her or stund all expenses of failure. Whisper It gently, but I intend to give a spread in honor of the Michigan man and his highly capable crew as soon as the vessel is placed in the drydock." Sandy Island, the present resting-place of the Elder, is a long strip of beach Just opposite Goulo and near Kalama, and the wreck lies in 18 feet of water, and is in no danger of further Injury. Captain Ba ker and his force of workmen are engaged In repairing the leaks and cleaning up the ship preparatory to towing her to the Ton of Tortland drydock, where the hole In her hull' Is to be repaired. When the vessel was floated with the hlK" tide Tuesday evening, and it waa found advisable to beach her, the tow boat Oklahoma remained with her. while the others of the assisting vessels pro ceeded to Portland. Divers are engaged in examining the hull from both outside and Inside the vessel, and it is expected to have her in shape for towing to the dry iock by Saturday. Mr. Peterson states that he expects to have the vcsesl in commission within 90 days at the latest. MACHINERY KOIt SHIP ARRIVES Boiler and Engines for New Pro peller Now at Supple's Yard. The boiler and engines for the propeller how being built for the Katsop Trans portation Company at Stipple's boat-yard, have arrived, and are .being unloaded from the Southern Pacific cars. The boiler haa 3000 square leet of heating- surface, will be capable of 375 pounds of pressure to the square inch, and will develop "50 horsepower. Two propeller screws were received with different pitches, and as tpeed Is sought for the screw that will Fend the boat forward the fastest will be the one that will be retained and used. "Work on the craft is progressing rapidly. The hull has been completed wtth double planking, and the first cabin is being built This boat is expected to be the fastest ever built in Portland. DIXON WILL BE LAUNCHED River Steamer Has Been Practically Rebuilt and Is Larger Than Before. The launching of the river steamer Sa rah Dixon, of the Shaver Transportation Company, is expected to take place next Saturday. The river craft has been prac tically rebuilt at the yards of the Port land Shipbuilding Company, In South Port land, and the work of preparing the boat for launching is being rushed as speedily as possible. The Dixon has had an entirely new hull built, and when she again floats on the waters of the Willamette she will be 14 feet longer and have two feet more width of beam than before the present repairs were undertaken. She is also being fitted with a new lower house, as well as a new housing over the wheel, and when com pleted will present the appearance of a new vessel. She will go on her regular run imme diately, and the boat now being used in her stead will take its turn on the ways for repairs. SHIPPING FEAT ACCOMPLISHED Dismantled Hull of Full-Rigged Ship Taken Across Two Seas. NEW YORK, May 23. Under jury rig from Kobe, Japan, to New York harbor, the noted clipper ship A. G. Ropes ar rived today, completing successfully what was the first attempt in the chron icles of the American merchant marine to take the dismantled hull of a great, full-rigged ship across two seas. The voyage began last December, following a typhoon experienced last Summer near Hong Kong, when practically everything above the ship's deck went overboard. The course of the A. G. Ropes from the moment that the storm struck her until today hag been filled with adventure, and with striking demonstrations of Ameri can enterprise displayed by her skipper. Captain Rivers. Previous to this acci dent the time of the A. O. Ropes, built at Bath, Me., was posted in Hong Kong, New York, San Francisco, Liverpool and Shanghai for speed records in races which extended half way around the world. For four days after the typhoon the ship drifted, her crew in despair and the American skipper never once below decks. After refusing exorbitant offers for towing, his ship was taken into port by a steamer for $500. At Kobe, the ship was sold at auction to A. G. Luckenback, of New York, and the nearly six months' voyage home under a makeshift rigging began. The A. G. Ropes was built in 1884, is 260 feet long and 2460 tons gross register.

While oft Shanghai last September officers and crew of the Albenga as sisted in the rescue of the crew of the steamship Pe-Chi-L.i, which sank with in a few hundred yards of them during a raging typhoon, and those who par ticipated in the heroic work have. re ceived medals from the German gov ernment as a token of appreciation of their bravery.

W. ELDER AS SHE LIES BEACHED OX SAXDT ISLAND. NEAR GOBLE. -l . IJJ.tH'" sssssssssssssss-- STEAM LINE TD COLONIES PORTLAND'S CHANCE TO TRADE WITH ANTIPODES. William Reid Sees In Mall Subsidy a Golden Opportunity for This City. - That the time is golden for Portland to secure a line of steamers from the Colum bia River to Hawaii, Samoa, New Zealand and Australia with the inducement of the United States mail subsidy of $217,000 in addition to the trade such a line of vessels would secure, is the belief of William Reld, who urges that efforts be made to secure this subsidy for a line of steamers from this port, and believes that valuable trade relations could be built up between Oregon and New Zealand and the other countries reached by the steam ers. Mr. Reid speaks with authority on this subject, because for several years he was United States Consul at Wellington, New Zealand, and is familiar with the extent of the business the British colonies carry on with the United States. This trade is growing and unless the mall subsidy is secured for Portland, Mr. Reld fears it will go elsewhere and Portland's oppor tunity will be foreyer lost. Mr. Reld says the people of New Zea land are more anxious to cultivate trade relations with the United States than with England, and have passed laws whose direct Intent was to secure reci procity with the United States. Figures secured from the New Zealand govern ment show that the growth of trade with the United States has been at the rate of over 200 per cent within the past ten years. Three years ago an attempt was made by Mr. Reld, Senator Mitchell and others to get such a subsidy for a line of steam ers from the Columbia River, but the at tempt failed. Mr. Rekl then took the matter up with President Mellen, of the Northern Pacific, to induce that railroad to charter steamers from Portland ' to Hawaii, New Zealand and Australia, but the railroad officials pointed out that until they had a line of railway down the Columbia . River to Portland, such a steamship connection would not be ad vantageous, in view of the Canadian Pa cific steamers from British Columbian ports and the Spreckels line of steamers from San Francisco.

" 'Made-in-Oregon' philanthrophy is an excellent thing." said Mr. Reid, "but 'Made in Oregon,' in its trade with for eign countries, is something supremely better for its people at large. Let Port land's commercial bodies get together and at once secure the mail subsidy of $217,000, and a line of steamers therewith to Hawaii, Samoa, New Zealand and Australia. If they do not act immedi ately, since San Francisco is temporarily under a cloud, British Columbia will se cure the trade and commerce of the fu ture with New Zealand and the Austral ian colonies." CHICAGO ARRIVES AT BAR Flagship Should Reach Portland Early This Afternoon. ASTORIA, Or., May 23. (Special.)

Pleads Guilty After the Health Board Begins Inquiry, and Pays Ten Dollars. The Oregon State Board of Health, through Its secretary, Dr. Robert C. Yen ney, resorted to the enforcement of Its laws by active personal interference at Lebanon a few days ago, the case being the failure of a physician of that town to report smallpox cases in his own family. An epidemic of this disease has existed at Lebanon to a greater or lesser extent for several months, the infection originally coming from Portland. It scattered broad cast through the town and all efforts of the State Board of Health and of the city authorities seemed Ineffectual in putting a stop to the spread of the contagion. When it became known that there were two cases in the family of Dr. W. H. Booth, one of the prominent physicians of Lebanon, and that he had not reported them, the situation reached an acute stage and the authorities decided to take active measures In prosecuting such dereliction of duty. Accordingly the City Attorney, Mr. Garoand, was Instructed by the City Council to bring suit against Dr. Booth in order that the exact nature of the disease might be determined, and also to allay the excitement which was reaching an intense stage in the town. The State Board of Health, taking the matter in hand, had a quieting effect on the situation, and a meeting was called by Dr. Yenney. at which the county health officer. Dr. Davis, of Albany; the City Physician of Lebanon, Dr. Laird, and City Attorney Garland were present, and after thoroughly cross-examining Dr. Booth and canvassing the situation, the latter agreed to plead guilty of neglect of duty fcnd was fined $10 by the Recorder. This Is the first instance In which the State Board of Health has been compelled to take active measures in enforcing any of Its regulations, but the situation at Lebanon demanded active interference. CLOSE OF CONVENTION Banquet Fund Voted to Dental Prac titioners in San Francisco. The annual meeting of the Oregon State Dental Association ended yester day with an interesting programme and election of officers. Dr. G. H. Nottage was elected president, Dr. A. P. Watson, vice-president, and Dr. Jean Cllne, sec retary and treasurer. The members of the new executive committee are Drs. George Marshall, Wadsworth and Holbrook. The session was to have closed with an elaborate banquet for which funds had been raised. However, the asso ciation recently voted this money to the relief of fellow practitioners in San Francisco, and dispensed with the ban quet. The session yesterday was held at the Chamber of Commerce. Demonstra tions were presented by Drs. C. E. Stolte, Jack Yates, 8. J. Barber, Joseph Hickey and C. E. Moreland. Technical papers were read by Dr. Mark Hayter, of Dallas, and Drs. M. C. Holbrook, A. W. Chance and N. R. Cox. The attendance was unusually large and the utmost harmony prevailed throughout the gathering.
