Papers of Honolulu Comment
Favorably on Trade With
This City.
ARE AWAITING DELEGATE
Secretary Mears Will Be Received
With Open Arms by the Mer
chants ot Honolulu, and
Portland Must Help.
The arrival of the Matson Naviga
tion Company's liner Hllonlan at Ho
nolulu direct from Portland brought
forth much encouraging comment on
the new enterprise by the newspapers
of the Islands, which have taken up
the cause of the new trading point
and urge the Island merchants to do
their part In making the venture a
success.
At the same time the newspapers of
the islands poinc out the fact that it
will be necessary for the business men
at this end of the line to do their share
toward presenting their wares before
the prospective purchasers of the is
lands. On the day of., the Hilonlan's
arrival the Honolulu Advertiser, in an
editorial, said:
"Good luck to the Matson line be
tween Portland and Honolulu! May
It live long and prosper! There
ought to be a good trade between Ore
gon and these islands, both in tour
ists and merchandise. In fact, there
ought to have been such a trade ten
years ago."
In the following Issue the same, pa
per comments at some length on the
proposed establishment of trade be
tween Portland and Honolulu, In which
It takes occasion to mention the lack
of enterprise on the part of the local
merchants in not reaching out for this
trade before, and 'expresses the hope
that the trade will be stimulated and
encouraged at both ends of the line.
The article Is as follows:
Two memtata of the Portland Ohambfr or
Commerce will visit Honolulu In two or three
week to drum up business among; the Hono
lulu merchants, so that a steamer may be
put on a permanent Portland-Honolulu run.
The steamship Hllonlan, now in port, and
one of the Matnon liners. is the vessel In view
for carrying- the freight between ports. The
direct cause of the proposed vteit of these
two gentlemen came about is this way:
A day or two before the Hllonlan sailed
from Portland for Honolulu a lot of Portland's
business men went aboard that fine steamer,
had a luncheon with the captain and inspected
the ship. Captain Johnson, of the Hllonlan,
told a reporter of the Advertiser yesterday
the result of the luncheon.
"They held a meeting on board this vessel
and decided to send two representative to
Honolulu. They will be members of the Cham
ber of Commerce and will have full authority
to act with the merchants here. They ex
pect to show the Honolulu merchants that It
will be to their Interest to establish another
buying center. They have Saa Francisco, and
they have bought in Seattle. They can buy
In Portland, too. If they want to, and here
la the steamer, the Hllonlan, to carry the
cargo. It's very simple, you see. One of these
gentlemen Is W. A. Mears.
"The Hllonlan Is a good cargo boat and can
carry 4000 tons of freight. She has room also
for 60 passengers, and as soon as the boat Is
advertised extensively we expect to have a
lot of passengers to carry. The trip is made
in about eight days, and it Is a direct means
of communication between the whole North
west and Honolulu. I know that Portland and
all Oregon la Interested In ths Hawaiian
Islands and the merchants are eager to estab
lish trade relations on a large scale.
"Portland la a fine, progressive city of about
128.000 Inhabitants. Its merchants are go-
ahead people and they're out for business."
Captain Johnson is enthuslastlo both for
Portland and Honolulu. Ha knows Honolulu
pretty well, having made many visits here
on the oil-cargo steamer Kosecrans.
Bending the Matson liner Hllonlan to Port
land, and the prospective visit ot a com
mercial delegation from the Portland Chamber
of Commerce to build up trade between this
city and the commercial center of Oregon,
form a development that ths commercial com
munity of ths Islands will watch with a great
deal of Interest. Portland has never reached
out for trade as It should, perhaps, which Is
why Seattle has gone ahead so much more
rapidly than the Oregon town. It Is reaching
out now, and It is most gratifying to know
that the reach Is to be In this direction. The
trade - of Honolulu, to be sure, has always
gone to San Francisco. San Francisco money
has been employed to develop Island industries
and to back Island enterprises, and a lot of
money now held In Baa Francisco has been
made In these Islands. Naturally, trade has
followed the money current. But there are
many Island product that can find profitable
market in the Northwest, both at Portland
and Seattle, and In return for this market
island people will doubtless consent to do a
measure of trading. At all events, the dele
gation of Portland business men will be cor
dially welcomed here. The island needs
markets, and the more they get the better
will the local people be suited. What with
pineapples becoming a most important product
here, and what with bananas In plenty, and
ths prospects for rubber and tobacco and
sisal looking up, there is a promise of di
versification of Industries which calls for en
larging our trade area as much as possible.
W. A. Mears, secretary of the trans
portation committee of the Chamber
of Commerce, Is scheduled to leave
San Francisco today on the steamship
Sonoma, and should reach his destina
tion next Monday or Tuesday.
AVILL RECEIVE BONUS.
Kitsap Does Better Than Contract
Speed and Builder Is Pleased.
Joseph Supple, the Portland ship
builder, who constructed the steamer
Kitsap, returned yesterday from Puget
Sound, where he witnessed some of the
prellminiiry tests of the new craft.
The builder of the speedy craft is
well pleased over the behavior of the
vessel and is already assured of a
bonus of 65O0, and has every reason
to expect this sum to be Increased when
the official trial takes place next week.
"The Kitsap County Transportation
Company has accepted the vessel," said
Mr. Supple yesterday, "for in the trial
runs so far held she has met all require
ments easily. She made 13 miles in 43
minutes, which Is about 19 miles an hour.
She will easily make 20 miles when the
main trial occurs next week, and I
shall return to Seattle to be ' present
when she makes it."

SEATTLE. "Wash., Aug. 2. (Special.)
J. Anderson, A. Pirkola. Robert An
derson and A. Bahridz, sailors aboard
the British bark Oranasla, now loading
here, were made partially blind during
the voyage from Shields, England. The
ship ran out of fresh provisions and
salt meats had to be fed to the crew.
The four men suffered terribly from the
effects and for a time were blinded.
Bahridz may lose the sight of his left
eye. The Oranasla was driven back

WHEAT BT RIVER ROUTE
GROWERS OF GRAIN AGITATE
TRANSPORTATION BY BOATS.
Delegate From Inland Empire Con
fers With Local Transporta
tion Firms and Buyers.
Anxious to bring about a lower freight
rate in transporting the 1906 wheat crop
to tidewater, the Graingrowers' Associa
tion of the Inland Empire country sent a
representative H. A. Hover, of Hover,
"Wash. to Portland to confer with the lo
cal wheatbuyers and the Open River
Transportation Company, with a view of
establishing better transportation .facili
ties by the water route.
As a result of Mr. Hover's conference

eral representatives of wheat-buying
firms. Superintendent Smith, of the Open
River Transportation Company, left, yes
terday afternoon, for Kennewick, Wash.,
where he will investigate the conditions,
with a view of Increasing the steamer
service to Portland. This company now

Mountain Gem, and has two boats under
construction, one of 'which, the Columbia,
is nearly completed, and the other is ex
pected to be In operation by the close of
the harvesting season.
H. A. Hover, proprietor of the townsites
of Kennewick and Hover, Is the owner of
the steamer Mata C. Hover, which oper
ates between the two towns, and this
boat may be brought into the wheat-carrying
trade.
The officials of the Regulator line and
other local steamboat companies are to
be seen relative to handling the wheat
shipments this side of the portage road.
"The growers," said Mr. Hover, "are
anxious to secure the water route in
order to save the heavy railroad rates
required by the long haul to Puget Sound,
end if steamboat service can be secured
it will assist materially In reducing the
present rate."
TWO STEAMERS DEPART.
Kilburn and Roanoke Off for Coast
wise Ports With Full Cargoes.
The steamers F. A. Kilburn and Roa
noke departed last evening. Each vessel
carried capacity cargoes of freight for
coastwise ports, and all the passengers
their accommodations would allow. The
strong demand for transportation facilities
cannot be met with these two vessels, and
the owners of both lines are looking for
suitable steamers to assist In handling
tne trarne.
All day yesterday both freight and pas
sengers were turned away from the docks
of the departing steamers, and many per
sons were greatly disappointed at not
being accommodated.

PLAY BALL FOR $100 PURSE
Keen Rivalry Exists Between the
Trunkmakers and Schlllers.
From the amount of Interest being mani
fested In the coming match between the
undefeated Schiller team and the nine
known as the Trunkmakers, Sunday's
game at League Park promises to be the
hottest game of the amateur season. The
Schlllers are thoroughly confident of being
able to maintain their undefeated record,
and will depend on Rich Parrott's assort
ment of unsolvable curves to pull them
through, which heretofore have been too
much for the opposing teams when
backed up by the batting ability of the
tall twriier's teammates.
On the other hand the Trunkmakers
are so confident of victory that they have
posted $100 to cover the wager offered by
Manager Gardner of the Schlllers, and
think that they will surely lower the col
ors of the hitherto undefeated team.
Taylor and Antone will hold the battery
positions for the Trunkmakers, while Rich
Parrott and Slavln will be in the points
for tho Schlllers.

HEIRS WANT THEIR DUE
Attorney for Sage Relatives Dls-
' cusses Will Contest.
NEW YORK, Aug. 2. Transcript of a
Judgment against James H. Sage, of Troy,
who has announced that he will contest
the will of Russell Sage, and has retained
Senator Brackett as counsel, was filed In
the County Clerk's office yesterday. The
claim is for $398 judgment, and was ob
tained In Troy on February E, 1896. James
H. Sage came here yesterday.
Attorney Welles Stump, lawyer for In
tending contestants of the will of Russell
Sage, said yesterday that he wished to
make it plain that if any contest were
made it would not be for the purpose of
a "strike" for settlement, but because the
heirs were of the opinion that they had
not received their full due. He Intimated
that the contest probably would be begun
by September 21. It is pretty well under
stood that the ground for contest will be
that Mr. Sage was not competent to make
a will in 1901.
A Wall-street man said yesterday that
Mr. Sage was engineering some of his
biggest deals about that time.

land Rowing club returned from the scene
of their recent victory at Nelson, B. C.
and were given a rousing greeting from
a delegation of the club members, who
assembled at the depot to meet them.
Along with the crew came the fruit of
their victory, the Buchanan cup, which
was In charge erf President Wilbur. The
huge trophy on Its ebony pedestal stands
four feet off the floor, and was the cen
ter of an admiring throng during all
the day.
Most of the crowd at the depot were
disappointed at not catching sight of the"
Senior crew, but this quartet of cham
pions did not return home with the oth
ers for the reason that, accompanied by
Coach Murphy, they are on their way to
Lake Qulnslgamond, where they are to
compete In the national regatta next
week.
The athletes who did come were the
members of the Junior crew and the
champion single sculler, Ed Gloss, and
these were enthusiastically greeted by
the Joyous club members and friends.
The entire crowd went to the club
house Immediately on arrival, and the
trophy of victory was Installed In Its
new home.
Before coming home the victorious
Portland crews went to Spokane, where
they gave several exhibitions on Coeur
d'Alene Lake. The boys bring the news
that Spokane will be represented In the
regatta next yean, and will probably
give a regatta at Spokane during the
season.
The oarsmen speak most enthusiasti
cally of the reception accorded them
at all the places they visited, and men
tion the treatment given them by the
Canadians at Nelson In the highest terms.
Champion Single Sculler Ed Gloss, cap
tain of the Portland Rowing Club, an
nounced that he would row Alex Pape
under strictly amateur rules, but would
not have anything to do with any other
proposition. Gloss looks on Pape's stip
ulation that he secure some of his friends
to place a certain sum of money to cover
Jack Cribbln's wager on Pape's ability
to win, as tending toward professional
ism.
"It Is merely a subterfuge," said Gloss,
to avoid meeting me. Pape does not
want to meet me again, and so he makes
a stipulation of a wager that he knows
cannot be covered by an amateur oars
man. Also he stipulates that the race
should take place In California In De
cember. Now, I will say that I will row
him any time ciurlng this or next Sum
mer, but I cannot keep In shape from now
until the date he mentions, and on that

account do not agree to that portion of
his proposal."
In conclusion. Gloss stated that he
would rather meet the Callfornlan at
Spokane any time this year. Spokane is
anxious to secure this match for next
month, and negotiations will be opened
with Pape toward securing his consent.
Those-who came back were: President
R. W. Wilbur; Billy Patton. official back
er; Ed Gloss, Harley, Loomis, McMlcken,
Starr and Allen, of the Junior crew.
ROOM GIVEN . FOR EVASION
Correspondent Says Pending Fran
chlscs Are Ijoosely Drawn.
PORTLAND. Aug. 2. (To the Editor.) I
desire space in your columns to call briefly
the attention of the public to the numerous
franchises for street railways and 'underground
subways now being asked for from the City
of Portland.
The franchises now being asked for are
practically all for the Rast Side and If granted
will control all of the principal streets of
the Bast Side for street railway purposes).
There Is, or should be, no objection to the
granting of them franchises If the City of
Portland la properly protected. But I do not
believe that these franchises should be granted
purely for speculative purposes.
As the franchises are now drawn. Is the
City of Portland fully protected, and can
the bond given by the grantees be collected.
As I understand It, these bonds are given for
the purpose of Indemnifying the City of Port
land against damages In cane the grantee
falls to fulfill nls part of the contract or
agreement.
Should the grantees fall In the performance
of their contract, does the city sustain any
damage thereby, and would it not be a ques
tion for the courts to determine, with the
probability that the city would not be able
to collect a dollar, as Is usually the case In
suits of this character?
I be 1 lev that 1 1 wou Id be w la e for our
Council to Insert In all of these franchises
a clause substantially as follows: In addition
to a reasonable bond as now given, every ap
plicant for a subway or street railway should
within 60 days after the acceptance of such
franchise deposit with the City of Portland
$15,000 In cash, such sum of money to be
forfeited to the City of Portland without the
necessity of suit on the failure of grantees
complying with any of the provisions as stated
in the franchise. Should such forfeiture not
occur, then the city would apply the money
so deposited for payment of annual charges.
as stipulated In the franchise granted. The
full amount of money deposited shall. If pos
sible, be placed so as to draw at least 4 per
cent Interest, and such Interest would be
treated In the same manner as the principal.
It would seem to be that any company
that means business, or that really Intends to
utilize the privileges granted by a franchise.
should be able to deposit this sum of money,
as It would have 90 days after the passage
of the ordinance to raise this money and float
Its proposition.
I also believe that the time limit for com
pleting the work under these franchises should
be changed. All and every person or cor
poration granted a franchise fn this city should
be compelled to do a specified amount of work
each year. If the franchise requires all the
work, to be done In three years, then the
grantee should be compelled to do, not one-
third of the work the first year, but say one- !

sixth of the total mileage the first year and
one-third the second year, and the balance In
the last year.
The franchises now being granted state that
the work must be commenced In the first year,
but do not state how much work Is to be done.
If this is the case, then the grantee can do
one week's work before the expiration of the
year and can hold his franchise Intact.
It does not seem proper to me that the
City of Portland should grant to any person
or corporation seeking franchises tn this city,
excepting that they give substantial evidence
of their ability to carry out the provisions
of the franchise if granted to them.
I believe If the above suggestions are In
corporated in all franchises that It will have
the effect of preventing irresponsible parties
from tying up all the streets of our city for
purely speculative purposes.
