ELDER REPAIRS
ALMOSIGOMPLETE
Peterson's Steamer Will Soon
Be in Condition to Leave
the Drydock,
HULL IS NOW PATCHED UP
Big Hola Made by Collision With
ICock Oft Gobi Is Completely
Filled In, and tho Ship
Will Float Soon.
Tho repairs to the steamship Geo. W.
Elder are progressing with the great
est dispatch or late, according? to J. Ji.
Peterson, owner or the vessel, who says
she will be afloat about the last week
of the nresent month.
The steamer, which has been on the
dry-dock since early in May, has had a
checkered career, and when floated by
the present owner will complete a re
markable record of again being placed
on a regular run after lying submerged
for over a year in the waters ol the
Columbia River.
The finishing touches of the work of
Installing the new steel hull plates in
place of the iron plates dislodged by
the collision of the vessel with the rocks
oft Goble in January, 1905, were com
pleted yesterday, and all that remains to
make -the vessel seaworthy Is to
strengthen the plates from the Inside by
means of the regular stanchions in use
In all steamships. This work will be
completed by the first of the month, ac
cording to J. H. Peterson, arid the
steamer will be taken off the dry-dock for
good.
The repairs to the . vessel have con
sumed a goodly sum of coin, but Mr.
Peterson expresses himself as satisfied
that she will eventually pay for all the
trouble she has caused both her pres
ent owners end those who had her in
charge at the time she sank In the Co
lumbia River.
The Elder 1s to be placed on the Portland-San
Pedro run in conjunction with
the steamer Roanoke. Both vessels will
call at San Francisco and way-ports
on the trip up and down the coast.
The decision to place the Elder on this
run was reached after much deliberation
on the part of Mr. Peterson and Charles
P. Doe, general manager for the North
Paciflo 6teamship Company, which op
erates the steamer Roanoke between
Portland and San Pedro at a lucrative
profit. The business on this route has
increased to such an extent that the
patrons of the route have made repeated
requests for Increased means of trans
portation, and Messrs. Peterson and Ioe
decided that the best route for the
steamer when completed would be the
6ea route as traveled by. the Roanoke.
The Elder will be fitted up as prac
tically a new steamer when the final
repairs to the vessel are completed, for
her owners Intend to spare no expense
In making her a veritable floating pal
ace. J. H. Peterson stated yesterday
that the Elder would be ready for a
voyage about the middle of September.
CUTS OUT PORTLAND,
Steamer Xebraskan Will Not Call at
This Port as Expected.
The next Hawaiian liner to visit this
city will be the Matson Navigation
Company's steamship Hllonian, which
arrived at Ban Francisco yesterday and
;will sail for Portland Sunday evening
or Monday morning, bringing her Into
the local harbor some time next Wed
nesday. The American-Hawaiian Steamship
Company's liner Nebraskan was ex
pected to be the next vessel to call at
this port on the way to the Islands,
but at almost the last minute the head
office of he company cut out the call
at the local port ana ordered the Ne
braskan to proceed from San Francisco
directly to Seattle en route for the Isl
ands. The Charles F. Eeebe Company, the
local agents of the company, were yes
terday notified that the Nebraskan bad
sailed for Seattle and on that account
the local agents are holding all freight
reservations for the arrival of the Ne
yadan about the first of September.

BAKER SIGNS HIS COMPANY
ANNOUNCES HIS CAST IN NEW
YORK INTERVIEW.
Two New Members Will Be Frances
Slosson and Ethel Grey Tracy.
Others Old-Time Favorites.
An Interview with George L. Baker,
manager of the Baker Theater, who Is
now In New Tork City gunning for new
talent for the Baker stock company, is
printed in the current issue of the New
Tork Dramatic Mirror. The Interview
sets out Mr. Baker's plans for the future
and gives the personnel of the new com
pany, excepting three members, who are
yet to be signed. All but two. thus far
engaged are familiar names in Portland.
Lillian Lawrence. John Salnpolis, Mina
C. Gleason; Donald Bowles, Howard Rus
sell, William Gleason and William Har
ris. The new ones are Ethel Grey Tracy
and Frances Slosson. Mr. Barker is ac
companied by John Salnpolis and by Miss
Lawrence, the latter having gone to cos
ton for a three weeks' engagement as
leading ladv with John Craig, at the
Globes Theater. The Mirror's Interview
with Mr. Baker reads as follows:
Georee I,. Baker and John Salnpolis, of
the Baker Stock company, Portland, Or., are
In New Tork to arrange for plays for next
season and to secure two or three more people
for their company. Mr. Baker manages both
the Baker Theater, 1n which the stock com
pany plays, and the Empire, a theater devoted
to popular-priced productions. Mr. Sainpolla
la associated with him jn tne stock company.
He has recently completed an eight weeke'
tour of the Northwest In "The Christian,"
with Lillian Lawrence. Mr. Baker going along
as manager and for the purpose of looking
over the situation In that part of the country
since the San Francisco earthquake.
I do not think that the disaster will Have
any bad effect on business outside of San
Francisco," said Mr. Baker. "In fact, it will
probably be better thaa usual If the indica
tions I have seen mean anything. Bookings
lust aa rood. If not better than last sea
son, and we shall have our usual quota of
big plays. That entire section of the country
Is prosperous, and in Los Angeles and Oak
land business of every sort is at the best. We
closed our seaeoa at the Baker on June 14.
while we were still having good houses, be
cause experience has taught us that it is
impossible to do well after hot weather sets
in. Most of our theater-going population
leaves for the mountains or the shore re
sorts, and we have very little of the floating
population that means so much to the Eastern
cities. We shall open again September 2. At
present our company consists of Lillian Law
rence, Joha Salnpolis, Mlnar C. Gleason,
Fraaces Slosson, Donald Bowles. Howard Bus
sell. William Gleason. William Harris and)
Ethel Grey Tracy. "We have three more peo
ple to engage yet. We shall put on the best
stock plays we can get, as usual, and antici
pate one of the best seasons since we started
In business.
"Lillian Lawrence, who came East with us,
has gone to Boston to play a special three
weeks' engagement with John Craig at the
Globe Theater. She will, of course, return to
Portland for our season."
Miss Lawrence is receiving high praise
from the critics for her work at Boston.
The Mirror has an article from Its Bos
ton correspondent lauding Miss Law
rence. The Boston writer's version of her
appearance and reception there follows:
It was a splendid stroke on the part of
John Craig to secure Lillian Lawrence as the
leading woman of his stock company for the
final weeks- of the Summer season at the
Globe. Both were together as favorites at
the Castle Square, and It proved a great treat
to see them again upon the same stage. The
bill selected for the opening with Miss Law
rence was an admirable one, for "A Scrap of
Paper" had always proved one of her most
popular comedy offerings here, and it showed
her art to the greatest advantage. She had a
tremendous greeting on the occasion of her
first appearance, and the demonstration
showed how great a favorite she- was here
three years ago when she left to go to the
Paciflo Coast. She had not been forgotten
by any means, and the house was packed with
all the old-timers who used to enjoy her splen
did work at the Caetle Square. It was a de
served tribute to a deserved favorite, and1 the
success of her engagement was manifest from
the start. "A Scrap of Paper" was a new
play tor Mr. Cratg, but he appeared to the
greatest advantage and fairly divided the hon
ors with the newcomer. The play was well
acted throughout and finely placed upon the
stage.
DIES BY HIS OWN HAND
James Fiddle, Inmate of County
Hospital, Shoots Himself.
James Tiddle, a patient at the Coun
ty Hospital, shot himself with a 22
rifle last night about 10:30 o'clock and
died within two hours. The shot was
fired with suicftlal intent
Tiddle has suffered from heart dis
ease and of late the attacks have been
acute. He evidently decided he was
fighting a losing battle and determined
to end his suffering. He was a trusted
Inmate at the hospital, as he has been
there for over three years, and Super
intendent Jackson allowed him a 22
caliber rifle with which to shoot
gophers. Last night he hid the rifle
in his bed and about 10:30 walked out
on the porch and took his own life.
He has no relatives in this state so
far as known.
CARD OF THANKS.
Miss D. Roberta Wing and family de
sire to express their sincere apprecia
tion and thanks for the sympathy in
their recent bereavement in the death of
their sister. Winifred M. Wing, who died
at Seattle August C.
LWAGO SCENE OF
L
Harriman Will Build to Knapp
ton and Up the
North Bank,
JOINS PUGET SOUND LINE
Right-of-way Suits Are Filed ty the
Columbia Valley Company Ad
vance of Hill Down River
Will Be Contested.
That the Harriman Interests mean to
push east from Ilwaco up the north
bank of the Columbia, contesting
every inch of ground on the lower
river with Hill, a3 they already are on
the upper stretches of the Columbia,
is Indicated by the filing of suits In
the courts of Pacific County, Wash.,
this week by agents of the Columbia
Valley Railroad Company, asking for
the right to condemn across lands
needed in building a railroad between
Ilwaco and Knappton.
Advices from South Bend state that
several suits involving tracts lying
along the shore of the lower harbor
have been filed and that right of way
agents are busy buying up lands which
are necessary for the building of the
new Harriman branch. Although the
work is being done in the name of the
Columbia Valley, it Is probable the road
is Intended for some time as an ex
tension of the I. R. & N., a Harriman
property, to deeper water than can be
afforded at the Ilwaco moorings.
Eventually, It is likely, this road will
find its way up the north bank of the
Lower Columbia to a Juncture with
the Union Pacific Puget Sound exten
sion or to a connection with the Co
lumbia Valley Railroad at Vancouver,
provided matters are ever adjusted
along the upper river so that the Har
riman road can be built.
That the I, R. & N. property would
be extended to a point on the Washing
ton shore of the Columbia which could
be reached by sternwheel steamers
has often been predicted, but nothing
has ever come of it. The move this
week indicates that the extension
will become a reality within a short
time. It also shows a determination to
contest the advance of Hill to the mouth
of the river on the Washington bank.
The fight there promises to become aa
sharp as it has developed at Cape
Horn, Carson and a dozen other places
above Vancouver, where the rights ef
the two roads are wrapped up in liti
gation that has been carried to the
Washington Supreme Court.
The road east from Ilwaco to Knapp
ton or still further up the river Beems
destined to become a reality. Senator
E. M. Rands, with a portion of the mil-
ions that have been deposited in New
York to the credit of the Columbia
Valley Railroad, is In the field buying
lands that lie in the path of the sur
veys. General Manager O'Brien, of the
Harriman lines, returned Wednesday
night from a mysterious trip to Ilwaco,
where he looked over the proposition
and advised the men in the field. The
recent trouble with the steamer Potter
and the difficulty of getting screw
steamers to carry passengers to a
point where the law forbids that stern-
wheel- boats shall go, emphasized the
need of the Harriman people getting
some point other than Ilwaco and easier
of access for landing the beach travej.
Eventually there is little doubt but
that the Harriman lines will have an
all-rail line to North Beach points.
This will come with the building of tne
Sound extension and the pushing of the
L, R. & N. up the river to meet it.
With the building of the Harriman
line down the north bank to the sea
and the pushing of the Portland & Se
attle Railroad to Frankfort, it is likely
that two new seaports, Knappton and
Frankfort, will become rivals. If Mr.
Hill is to haul his wheat to Frankfort
for ocean loading, Mr. Harriman will
meet the competition of the rival sys
tem by hauling- cereals to Knappton,
throwing off the 80 cents now absorbed
and sharing in the shingle and lumber
business of the Washington shore of
the Lower Columbia.
WEARY DAYS FOR TEACHERS
NO EASY TASK TO ANSWER THE
QUESTIONS IN EXAMINATIONS.
Applicants for County Primary, State
and Life Certificates Are Now
Undergoing Annual Ordeal.
The examinations for teachers' certifi
cates which are now being held at the
Ladd School, under the direction of Coun
ty Superintendent Robinson and the board
of examiners, -include three county
grades, a county primary grade, the state
grade and life grade certificates. " The
questions which are put to the applicants
for certificates are frequently very diffi
cult, but occasionally they appear to be
reasonably "easy," as the pupils often
express It. The questions are not pre
pared by the examiners, bnt are opened
by them In the presence of the applicants
on arrival from the State Board.
The State Board of Examiners, which
prepares the questions for the state cer
tificates. Is composed of nine members,
appointed by the State Board of Educa
tion, the latter consisting of the Gov
ernor, the Secretary of State and the
State Superintendent of Public Instruction.
The questions for the county certificates
are prepared by the State Board of Edu
cation itself, and then sent to the various
County Superintendents at the time ex
aminations are to be held
Arithmetic is a study dreaded by many
applicants in the annual examinations,
and there is always a sigh of relief when
the paper is finished and the prospective
teacher has been able to master all the
questions on the list. The following sets
of questions In arithmetic were submitted
to the applicants yesterday In the pri
mary, the first, second and third county,
and the state grades, respectively, and
give a clear Idea of the difference between
these grades and the degree of mathemat
ical knowledge that is necessary to be
come a teacher of this branch:

C E. Loss Company, the contracting;
firm of San Francisco and recent pur
chasers of the United Hallways Com
pany's holdings in Portland. The Loss
Company will get in the neighborhood
of $1,000,000 for the construction of the
first link in the Southern Pacific branch
that seems destined upon its comple
tion to be a part of a new overland
route between the Willamette Valley
and San Francisco.
It is expected that the work on the
contract just secured can be prosecuted
all Winter, as it Is thought that the
rock work and tunnels will not be re
tarded by the heavy rains of the Coast
section. Grading will necessarily be
delayed but other work can probably
sro ahead throughout the rainy season
Because of this fact, it is believed
that the first 20 miles will be complet
ed next Summer. This will be followed,
it is stated, by further links in the
line until the whole project is worked
out.
W. Lv Ford, superintendent of con
struction for the C E. Loss Company,
has gone to Drain, where he is building
warehouses and sheds for the housing
of construction materials and animals.
A huge shed 40x190 feet, is being built
for the storage of about 20,000 barrels
of cement that arrived in Portland
yesterday on the French ship Laennac
The cement is to be used by the South
ern Paciflo Company itself In building
foundations and culverts for tne
bridges on the line. This work will be
done by the railroad forces and not by
the contractors.
Horses and mules for working on the
lino are being collected by Mr. Loss
and will be sent to Drain forthwith.
Mr. Loss will send 250 head of stock
there from another job which has Just
been completed. It Is announced the
work will be rushed with all possible
speed and will commence as soon as
men and materials can be collected.
GREAT ACTIVITY AT DRAIN
Contractors Make Ready to Begin
Work on Sew Road.
DRAIN. Or., Aug. 9. (Special.) At last
actual construction work on the Oregon
Western, the proposed Drain-Coos Bay
branch of the Southern Pacific, is to be
gin, and that right away. The contract
for the first 20 miles, beginning at this
end. has been let to the C. E. Loss Com
pany, of San Francisco.
W. J. Ford, representing this firm, is
here getting things in readiness to care
for a considerable number of horses and
mules and the necessary grading outfit.
which will arrive here early next week.
Stables are now being .constructed to
house the hundred or more animals of this
first outfit. Feed has also been contract
ed for for the teams.
All the steel necessary for the eighty
miles of track from this place to Coos
Bay has been here on the ground since
early last Spring, and a number of saw
mills In this vicinity are ready and have
contracts to cut ties and timbers for the
new road.
A large building is in course of con
struction to house several hundred bar
rels of cement, soon to arrive and to be
used in bridge construction. The right
of way has been cleared of buildings from
here to Scottsburg, which Is 36 miles, and
grade stakes are set for six or eight
miles from there.
KRUTTSCHXITT OX THE WAT
Director of Maintenance of Harri
man System Arrlvea Tonight.
Julius Kruttschnitt, director of main
tenance and operation of the Harriman
system, with offices at Chicago, will reach
Portland tonight from San Francisco.
Local officials say he comes to look over
the local situation and he will return to
Chicago from here.
While Mr. Kruttschnitt Is in the city.
his advice will probably be asked con
cerning the. matter of rearranging the
Northern Pacific Terminal properties. In
which the Harriman Interests are major
ity stockholders, and It Is also likely that
the discussion that has been waged on
the Fourth-street tracks of the Southern
Pacific's West Side division will also re
ceive some attention from the head of the
operating department.
Mr. Kruttschnitt will meet Judge tjor-
nishhere, but whether this meeting has
any significance further than a casual
coincidence. Is of course not known to
any outside the councils of the Harriman
officials.
NOT BOTHERED IN LEAST
Gamblers In Floating Poolroom
Laugh at Trick of Rivals.
CHICAGO. Aug. 9. Some one with the
ingenuity of Don Quixote furnished a
scheme to put the gambling boat, the
City of Traverse, out of commission yes
terday. The idea was to eliminate the
wireless communication with the craft.
depriving it of race results by sounding a
huge foghorn, whose vibrations would
blur" the wireless messages.
The results were grotesquely disastrous.
The gamblers laughed at the police on
the tug and the llfesaving crews from
Jackson Park and South Chicago, believ
ing the sounds to be distress signals, hur
ried to the Hyde Park crib; sailboats,
launches, motorboats and an Armada of
small craft rushed to the rescue, while
the shore from Kenwood to South Chi
cago was lined with persons fearing an
excursion-boat disaster.
The Smith-Perry-White Company,
which operates the boat, charged the
scheme up to "Mont Tennes, their Jeal
ous rival. No difficulty with the wireless
apparatus was found on board the Trav
erse, according to employes and patrons
on board.
