NEEDED IN SAN FRANCISCO Sailing Vessels Are Being Impressed, as Steam Craft Are All Engaged. Tugs to Be Used In Towing Them to the Bay City. The demand for lumber carriers out of this port Is so great that the local ex porters are frequently hard pressed for means -with -which to send their product to market. The principal shortage of ves sels Is experienced In the coastwise trade, for the San Francisco demand alone Is sufficient to tax the capacity of the entire lumber fleet, but as a good many of these vessels run to San Pedro and other coast wise ports, the shipping facilities are not adequate to supply the demand. All available vessels, both steam and Bailing, have been pressed Into the serv ice, and are making regular trips between the local mills and those along the Colum bia and Willamette JRivers and the south ern ports. Ever since the San Francisco fire small sailing vessels have been plying between the Bay City and Southern Oregon ports In the lumber-carrying trade, and these vessels have helped materially in reliev ing the situation, but as they do not make fast enough time the owners have chartered the tug Vosburg, which has been lying idle In this city for the past year, to tow the schooners from Coos Bay to San Francisco. This method, it is said, will save several days' time en route. The steam schooners along the coast are all being taxed to their utmost ca pacity, and are too small In numbers to accommodate even a small portion of the business. Not being able to fill California orders through the regular channels, the North Pacific Lumber Company yesterday char tered the American ship Falls of Clyde to take 1,000,000 feet of Oregon pine to San Krancisco. The Fails of Clyde is one of the oldest vessels on the Coast, and her history Is closely linked with that of the venerable barks Coloma and Alden Besse, formerly well-known vessels In the local harbor. The Falls of Clyde is one of the few foreign-built vessels to secure Amer ican registry. She was built at Glasgow in 1878 and flew the British flag for many years. When the annexation of the Ha waiian Islands took place, the vessels also changed flags. There are plenty of large tramp steam ships available for the foreign trade out of Portland, but the American law pro hibits foreign vessels engaging in the coastwise trade. Four large steamers are now loading lumber here. They are the Comeric, which Is expected to finish to day, the Beckenham, Sutherland and Thyra. In addition, the Oriental liner Kicomedia is taking a large shipment of lumber. The Thyra finished loading a portion of her cargo at Vancouver yesterday, and will come to the Portland mills this after noon to complete her cargo for Port Pirle, Australia. The five steamships mentioned will take .over 12,000,000 feet of lumber from this port, and the big tramp steamship Nor man Isles is expected here shortly and may swell the August total to a much greater amount. She is due at San Fran cisco in a few days, and will come north Immediately. MAT SECURE THE AZTEC. Taclfic Mail Liner Likely to Be riaced on San Francisco Run. The San Francieco & Portland Steam ship Company's liner Costa Rica sailed last evening for San Francisco with a full cargo consisting of 1200 tons of gen eral freight. She would have taken as many passengers as her rating allows, but the Government Inspectors at San Fran cisco refused her a license on account of her green crew, and the agents were com pelled to cancel all berths sold out of this port. By her next visit the officers of the vessel expect to have the crew drilled into their duties so that they will pass muster with the authorities, and again secure a passenger permit. The San Francisco officers of the steam ship company are said to be making ar rangements to place the steamship Aztec on the Portland-San Francisco run. This vessel is operated by the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, and is a vessel of 3508 tons net register. She has been on the San Francisco-Oriental run for several years, and has also plied between the Bay City and Isthmian ports. The repairs to the steamship Columbia will not be completed much before Sep tember 1, according to the latest advices from San Francisco, and the addition of a vessel of the Aztec's capacity to the local run will greatly assist in relieving the congested freight conditions. The Costa Rica was unable to accom modate much more than half the mer chandise that was listed for San Fran cisco, and much of this freight remains on the Ainsworth dock awaiting the arrival of the Barracouta, which is due on the return trip next Tuesday or Wednesday. POTTER RESUMES HER RUN Popular River Steamer Leaves This Afternoon lor the Beach Resorts. The steamer T. J. Potter will resume her run to the beach resorts, commencing this afternoon. Two weeks ago the popu lar vessel met with an accident to her machinery which threatened to tie her up for the balance of the season, but as this Is the rush season to the coast, the O. R. & N. Company decided to repair her as rapidly as possible and place her in commission again. 'j.his has been ac complished and the vessel will take a full load of passengers today. The steamer leaves Ash street at 1:30 o'clock, and most of her accommodations have been sold. Kicomedia Will Sail Tomorrow. The Portland & Asiatic Steamship Com pany's liner Nicomedla will sail tomorrow afternoon for Yokonama ana Hongkong. She will carry a large cargo of general freight, consisting of flour, grain and lum ber, and in addition 15 thoroughbred milch cows are being shipped to a Hongkong dairy. Inspectors at Work at.Hoqulam. HOQUIAM. Wash., Aug. 3. (Special.) United States Inspectors of Hulls and Boilers Whitney and Turner arrived here last night to inspect the steamers Agnes, Queen, Ranger and Progress. Marine Notes. The schooner Irene finished loading railroad tie at the standard box fac- UMBEB CARRIERS tory yesterday and was towed down to Stella, where she will complete her cargo for San Francisco. Commander Werlich, of the thir teenth lighthouse district, announces that fixed white lights will be estab lished at the northwest point of Cape Stephens to mark the Stephens Pass between Stuart Island and St. Michael's Island, between the mouth of the Tu kon and St. Michaels, Alaska. The small river steamer White Flyer belonging to the Favorite boat house. Is having accommodations for passen gers placed on her hurricane deck. She Is engaged In passenger traffic to river resorts. The Norwegian steamship Norman Isles is expected to reach San Fran cisco at any time. She is comlDg to the Bay City from London with a cargo of cement, and is soon as discharged there will come to Portland for a cargo of lumber. The schooner O. M- Kellogg and the barkentine Aurelia arrived up last evening in tow of the steamer Harvest Queen. The former will load lumber at the North Pacific mills, and the lat ter at the Portland Lumber Company. Arrivals and Departures. ASTORIA. Aug. 3. Condition of the bar at 5 P.

PRICE DROPS STEADILY Eastern Jobbers Say It Will Be No Higher, and Some Assert That the Bottom Has Not Yet Been Reached. SALEM, Or., Aug. 3. (Special.) Step by step, the prune market in Oregon has dropped down from a 24-cent basis early in the season to a 14 basis now. Whether the bottom price has been reached Is a question upon which opinions differ and which will probably be determined chiefly by the course grow ers pursue in. selling. Eastern jobbers are confident that the price will be no higher and some of thera assert that It will' go lower before the crop Is mar keted. The prices quoted are those paid HAS RECORD FOR BRAVERY In the present British naval ma neuvers, which approach more nearly the conditions of actual war fare than any previously under taken, the Commander-in-Chief of the fleet which is supposed to be defending the coasts of England against the attack of the enemy is Admiral Sir Arthur Knyvet Wilson. Admiral Wilson is known In the navy as the man who never takes a holiday, despite his 64 years. When on a cruise he seldom goes ashore at the ports his fleet visits, and then only to pay or return some official call. When he comes home to England, Instead of going off on leave the first thing, like the other officers under him, he stays quietly on board the ship. It is not the taste of the anchorite which guides him, for he is no hater of the world or of the pleasures of life and so ciety with the big "S." It Is sim ply that, being a bachelor, he loves his profession more than anything else, and In his estimation time de voted to any other pursuit is time wasted. Consequently, there Is no officer more thoroughly up to date in all that pertains to naval war fare. He has been through the Cri mean and China wars, and the Egyptian and Soudan campaign. It was in the latter he showed himself a fighter of the first order and won to growers. Packers get one-half cent more. Early sales of the. Willamette "Valley Prune Association were made at as high as 2 cents, or 24 cents for the grower, and at this price and a quarter of a cent less, about 40 cars were dis posed of by the association for October and November shipment. Between this figure and the present price, about half the Oregon crop has been sold and the market seems now to be rather inactive. Some sales are being made, but grow ers who did not sell at the higher prices seem disposed to wait now for further developments. Immense Yield Promised. Crop conditions continue to look favor able for an Immense yield, notwith standing an unusually heavy drop owing to the long-continued hot, dry weather. It is expected, and confidently believed, that the heavy drop will result in larger sizes, but this, of course, will depend upon the weather in the future. Growers1 are making preparations to run their dryers to the full capacity, and It is frequently remarked that the size of the crop will be limited by the capacity of the evaporators to cure the fruit. Eastern buyers figure the Oregon crop, which means that of Oregon, Washing ton and Idaho, at 40,000,000 pounds, which will be as large a crop as ever produced In . the Pacific Northwest. While It is known that there will be an Immense prune crop in California and In European countries, it is believed here that buyers are overestimating the Eu ropean crop for effect. But after allow ances are made for overestimates In duced by self-interest, it is admitted that the world's prune crop is unusually large, and that the heavy yield comes in the same year with a larger apple crop, with whuch the prunes must come into competition. The only saving fea ture In the situation, as Oregon pro ducers see It, is that the prunes will go upon a practically bare market and that the prices of canned fruits are exceed ingly high. . Needed for Early Delivery. Large orders, both for early shipment in this country and for export, indi cate that the Xrult is needed for early delivery to the retailers. With the early demand practically filled, there will prob ably not be much doing in the prune mar ket for some time. One feature of the situation that arouses some interest is the declaration from New York and from California that Jobbers who bought at the high opening figures are now seeking to secure release from their contracts. They bought when prunes were a full cent higher than now and would like to have an opportunity to supply their needs at the lower prices. It is reported by the New York Commercial that jobbers have offered Oregon packers one-half to three quarters cents a pound on their contracts for release. It is difficult to see how such offers could be accepted, for prac tically all sales by packers have been covered by contracts with, growers and the packer who released the jobber would be under the necessity of settling with the grower. Growers who sold at the opening prices will not be easy to settle with at less than the face of their con tracts. , Then, too, the jobbers need the goods for early shipment and If they were re leased they would be obliged to pur chase again from packers here or else where to supply their needs. It is gen erally believed here that all contracts will be fulfilled, yet there are some indi cations of uneasiness oh the part of growers, who will feel better when they . see the cash In the bank to their credit. A cent a pound on prunes runs Into money pretty fast. Opening Prices Too High. The California Fruit Grower, the lead ing fruit paper In the southern state, thinks the opening prices were too high and that the present effort to crush the market is foolish and unwarranted Dy .conditions. It also touches upon the sub- PHI MARKET LOW Ject of Eastern buyers trying to get from under their contracts, indicating that there Is some uneasiness In that state. In the course of an article in its last issue It says: While conditions do not warrant exces sively high prices, neither do they warrant the low values being quoted today, and we certainly hope to see packers wait for the buying demand at a reasonable figure In place of forcing the situation and pro ducing a gradually declining market. The East bought liberally early and at good figures, and present requirements are pretty generally covered, so that It is but natural to experience a lack of further In terest in future prunes at the moment. This lack of interest is being rapidly transformed into disgust and antagonism on the part of the Eastern trade that bought 2 and 3-cent prunes earlier in the season, and some of these buyers are accusing California packers of handing them "green goods," and ieavy buyers are now looking around for 2c prunes to average up on. The attitude of Eastern buyers, who express a desire not to take their early purchases of prunes on ac count of the considerable decline in the market since, is most unjustifiable, of course, and the blame being heaped upon California sellers for these early prices is a considerable injustice. Buyers expect delivery of gods bought on an advancing market, and should be just as quick to stand by their purchases dn a declining market. A Chance for the Packer. Of course, if a California packer of prunes has been sufficiently fortunate to have a quantity sold at a 3-cent basis, which he has not already covered, he stands to make money through the for tunes of chance, but it must not be sup posed that all the packers sold at the highest price and are covering at the lowest. Packers who sold early went out and bought early to cover sales, and, while they naturally bought at less than they sold for, have paid, in most in stances, considerably above present sell-, ing prices. From the feeling of many in the. trade here against the present low values, we should not be surprised to see this matter remedied, and Dartlcularlv so if growers do not sacrifice their fruit. we do not consider this a high-priced year by any means, and crop conditions, both at home and abroad, do not warrant high values for.-prunes, but we do believe that the fruit will sell Just as readily at a fair value, If not more so, as under the present pressure to move goods at contin ually declining values. WANTS SUMMER CAPITAL Newport, Rhode Island, Desires Sec ond White House Built. OREGON! AN NEWS BUREAU, Washington, Aug. 3. Newport, R. I., wants to be made the official Summer capital of the United States. It al ready ranks as the most select of all Summer resorts and has come to be the Summer residence of a large number of the -foreign diplomats assigned to Washington, as well as the warm weather rendezvous of the big Atlarflc fleet of the American Navy. But this is not enough. Newport wants the President, confident that, if he takes up his residence, the remaining diplo mats will follow and the various Cab inet officers will spend more or less of their time at that comfortable re sort. The scheme on foot contemplates the erection by the Government of a Summer White House at Newport, to gether with adequate offices for the President and his corps of secretaries. While the suggestion has some attrac tive features, it will probably not be carried out. president Roosevelt would not favor it, for, when he goes on his vacation, he attends to only the most Important business and gives or. the bulk of his time to his family. In other words, when he goes to his home on Sagamore Hill, he goes for rest and recreation and he knows he can get more of It and with more privacy there than he could anywhere else, especially at Newport. Other Presidents will probably prefer seclusion to Newport in the Summer. If the Summer White House idea should be carried out and Newport made the hot weather substitute for Washington, the President would get little rest and recreation during1 the Summer months. He would probably be loaded down with one continual round of social duties, not to mention a maximum of Government business, so that his Summer would be vacation In name only.
