HMRIMJIN LINE
TO
Northwestern Steamship Co.
Will Place Vessels on the
California Run,
NOW RUNNING TO ALASKA
Merchants Assured Seattle Company
Will Invade Harrtman Field" for
Tim at Iifast Orizaba and
Victoria Are Named.
According to representatives of the local
commercial organizations which have
. been nsltatlng the establishment of an
opposition line of steamers between this
port and San Francisco, the Northwest
ern Steamship Company, which is oper
ating steamers between Seattle and
Alaska points, will brinff at least two of
these vessels to Portland after the close
v of the Nome season next month, and
operate the same on he Portland-San
Francisco run. The vessels most likely
to be placed on the local run are the
Victoria and Orizaba, both of which are
large carriers and are on the Seattle
Nome route at the present time.
Representative Portland business men
have been in Seattle, where they held
conferences with the management of the
steamship company. They were given as
. surance that at least two of the vessels
of that company will be sent here as an
experiment.
The Orizaba is a 3500-ton iron steamship
which was built by the Delaware River
Company at Chester, Pa., in 1830 for J. E.
Ward & Co., of New York, and was
brought around to the Pacific during the
Spanisii-American War, when the Gov
ernment needed vessels to transport
troops, to the Philippines, and afterwards
was taken to Puget Sound and placed on
the Alaska run, where she has been en
paged for the better part of the time
since coming to the Western ocean. The
Victoria Is a much older vessel, having
been built by W. Denny & Bros:, at Dum
barton, Scotland, in 1870, and is under
charter to the Northern Pacific Steamship
Company of Tacoma. She is an iron
screw steamship of 3502 tons register, and
Is capable of making about 14 knots.
The vessels now on the Nome route are
usually tied up during the Fall and Win
ter months, and the operators seem will
ing to listen to the arguments placed be
fore them, and, no doubt, will send these
two steamers here and run them In op
position to the.Harriman Hners, which
have given anything but satisfactory
service in the past. The present company
has repeatedly promised td better the
service between Portland and San Fran
cisco, but the local merchants have found
to their sorrow that promises do not land
their merchandise at its destination, and
have been agitating the establishment of
a competitive line for some time.
Just at present it has been found diffi
cult to secure steamers, for all the avail
able craft on the coast seem engaged,
and the only thing to be done is to await
the closing of the Nome season, when the
vessels now employed there will be at
liberty.
Previous experiments in establishing an
opposition line to the Harrlman interests
have always met with failure, even
thougn starting off under the most flour
ishing conditions, but it is to be hoped
that the new line will find favor from the
start and that it will be found advisable
for the Northwestern Steamship Com
pany to operate its vessels out of here
for a considerable longer period than the
off season at Nome. v
The steamship service between Portland
and San Francisco has been miserable,
for the Harrlman liners have been oper
ating on no regular schedule. The ves
sels on the run are of ancient type, and
hardly possess the speed of the average
canal-boat. These vessels are te Costa
Rica and Barracouta. both of which sailed
for this port from San Francisco yester
day, and will probably reach Portland
some time within the next week or so,
providing they have good luck. The Co
lumbia, which is the only suitable vessel
the Harrlman system e'er sends here,
is undergoing repairs at San Francisco,
where she was badly damaged by over
turning in the drydock during the earth-.
quake last April. She has been out of
commission ever since. The company has
promised repeatedly to have this vessel
in commission within a short time, and
the latest date set for her resumption of
service is September 1.
VESSELS LEAVE SAX PEDRO
Were Unable to Unload on Account
of Longshoremen's Strike.
SAN PEDRO. Cal., Aug. 21. Two ves
sels, manned by nonunion crews and car
rying cargoes of lumber, left this port
last night after being partially unloaded.
They are the schooners Okanogan and
Caroline, both of which arrived here
from Northern ports a few days ago. The
strike of lumber handlers in the yards
yesterday, which was called supplemental
to the strike of the sailors and dockmen,
rendered It practically impossible for the
vessels to dispose of their cargoes. The
destination of the schooners, which were
hauled away by tugs last night, was un
known, but it is said at the Custom-house
that the Okanogan cleared for Port Gam
ble and the Caroline for Umpqua River.
The Southern Pacific brought about 60
Mexican laborers here this morning from
the desert and put them to work on the
docks unloading the lumber-laden steam
schooners Reval and Centralia. Striking
longshoremen went among the Mexicans
and attempted to get them to quit work.
A few of them stopped, but Chief Detective-
Miles Bowler, at the head of a
squad of Deputy Sheriffs, drove the strik
ers away from the wharf and the men
back to work. Many of the strikers are
leaving the city.
BARBOrXD AT ABERDEEN.
Fleet of White Wings Unable to Put
to Sea on Account of Shoaling Bar.
ABERDEEN. Wash., Aug. 21 (Special.)
It is reported from the lower harbor
that barbound schooners did not get away
the latter part of last week, as was ex
pected, and that there are now upwards of
a dozen waiting to go out. Unusually
rough weather is not the cause. Sound
ings with the lead show but IB feet of
water on the bar at extreme hlgh tide,
and therein lies the trouble. All ot the
vessels are loaded close to this mark and
several to 19.2. Those with the least
draft cannot attempt the passage on ac
count of the swell, and they will be held
until there is more water. This mean
that the tug Daring and her two lumber
carrier tows have not proceeded on their
way to Ban Francisco, as was thought
late last week.
The schooners W. J. Patterson and Gold
en Shore, from the American and Slade
mlllB, are expected to Join the fleet in
the lower harbor today, as well as the
barkentlne Wrestler and tug Cudahy. This
Is the tug Cudahy's first trip in many

months, after being laid up for repairs
and alterations. She has been changed to
an ollburner, her cabin cut down, parti
tions reset and generally overhauled. Her
tonnage was changed "from 55 to 60.
HILOXIAX SAILS TOXIGHT.
Hawaiian Liner Ready to Leave for
Islands With Large Cargo.
With a cargo almost five times' greater
than the first one she took from this city,
and with a number of passengers, the
Matson Navigation Company's liner Hilo
nian is scheduled to sail for Honolulu and
Hilo at 8 o'clock this evening.
Agent Lindsey, the local representative
of the steamship company, is exceedingly
pleased at the Increased freight offered
this trip, and entertains high hopes of
the business getting better each voyage,
for on her present visit the steamer
brought representatives of island firms,
who came to Portland to Investigate the
conditions and to order certain items of
merchandise desired by the merchants
they represent.
In addition to 2000 torn) of general mer
chandise the Hilonlan will take 26 head
of horses, which were purchased in East
ern Oregon for the Hawaiian Plantation
Company by James McQueen, the agent
tor that company, who was sent here to
buy the animals and ship them to the
islands. Mr. McQueen will be a passen
ger on the Hilonlan on the voyage to the
islands', and expects to return to Portland
soon for the purpose of buying more of
the Oregon animals for the Island planta
BIG STEAMSHIP ARRIVES.,
Knight of St. George on the Way Up
the Columbia With Cement Cargo.
The large British tramp steamship
Knight of St. George is on her way up
the Columbia River and should reach
the local harbor this morning. She is
coming to Balfour, Guthrie & Co. with
a part cargo of cement, which will
be discharged at the Mersey dock. The
big carrier brought a full cargo from
Antwerp, but a good portion of this was
discharged at San Francisco, which port
she left Bix days ago for Portland,
which no doubt means that she experi
enced considerable rough weather on
the trip up the coast. This is regarded
probable since the steamship Hilonlan,
which reached port Monday, ran through
a heavy northwestern gale all the way
up, and was delayed some on that ac
count. The Knight of St. George is a larger
vessel than the Hilonlan, and was de
layed longer on account of being higher
out of the water. The big vessel has
not as yet been chartered for the out
ward voyage, but she will undoubtedly
load a cargo of lumber for the Orient,
as vessels of her class are in great
demand as lumber carriers.
YACHT EL PRIMERO DEPARTS
Chester Thorne, of Tacoma, Takes
His Pleasure Craft to Sound.
The steam yacht El Primero, with her
new owner, Chester A. Thorne, of Ta
coma, aboard, sailed yesterday for her

Marine Xotes.
The Italian ship Erasmo, which has
been loading lumber for the better part
of the past month, will finish about Sat
urday. The British steamship Beckenham will
probably leave down for Astoria tomor
row. She has practically finished her
lumber cargo and is preparing to sail for
the Orient.
The work of painting the hull of the
steamer George W. Elder was commenced
at the drydock yesterday morning, and
arrangements are being made to float her
about the first of the month.
The California & Oregon Coast Steam
ship Company's steamer Alliance Is due
tomorrow from Coos Bay and Eureka.
She Is bringing a full cargo and will have
all the freight she can carry on the out
ward voyage.

Ho, for the hopfields!
The call for pickers has gone , forth,
the tocsin has been sounded, and far
and near youths and maidens, mothers
and fathers, and even those of child
hood's tender years are making; their
preparations for the greatest of all
warm weather outings, three weeks of
camping and fun and money-making
under the blue skies of Oregon. Hun
dreds have engaged with the agents of
the many Willamette Valley yars to
begin the season September 2, but hun
dreds more are needed and in down
town districts and in the advertising
columns of the daily papers is pro
claimed the fact that great numbers
are In demand.
. "Twelve hundred hoppickers wonted!"
proclaim the proprietors of one yard
alone, and other yards are having their
representatives canvass for the nec
essary help in gathering the stater's
most important crop. In front of a
prominent office are noticed attractive
pictures of the hopyards and the many
amusement features and advantages
are alluringly set forth to attract
young pickers. The fact is now being
recognized' that the proprietor who of
fers more in the way of amusement
and good times to his pickers will get
the best and the greatest numbers and
every effort is expended to make the
three weeks' season in the fields as
attractive as possible.
Tnat It is feasible to mix work and
play Is well Illustrated in the famous
Krebs yards, the largest on the Pacific
Coast or in the world. The Independ
ence vard, which boasts of H00 acres
planted to- hops, is in pioklng season a
city of from 120 to 1500 Inhabitants,
the proprietors forming the city offi
cials and a Deputy Sheriff forming the
police department. Every need and com
fort of the army of harvesters is care
fully considered in advance of the sea
son and on arrival at the yards it be
comes a pleasure to work, for after the
work comes more pleasure. If the farm
ers of the West and Middle West would
offer the attractions to their harvesters
that the hop men offer their pickers,
perhaps there would not be the annual
hue and cry for assistance in the har
vest field. What farmer thinks of hav
ing a first-class physician call daily
to keep watch on the health "of the
camp and attend those who may need
his services? What farmer provides
the means of amusement for the young
folks? What farmer has the fore
thought to bring religious service to
the field Instead of expecting the toil
ers to travel to the country church?
Minis'ters Invited to the Fields.
And that brings up another feature
in connection with the demands of the
hopfields this eeason. Krebs brothers
want ministers as well as hoppickers
and offer their large halls and groves
to pastors of any and all denominations
who will go to Independence and
Brooks yards to hold religious services
for the thousands of pickers who will
be living there and in the immedlato
vicinity the first three weeks in Sep
tember. "There are so many of-them that the
near-by churches would not accommo
date them if they attended, but if the
ministers come to the. grounds it is
certain to attract larger attendance
and gives a' moral tone to the camp
which we wish to encourage," Bald a
prominent grower yesterday, "and
now it only remains with the mission
aries and pastors to answer to this call
for the gospel in God's free out of
doors."
Matrimonial Bureau In- Full Blast.
A matrimonial bureau will be in full
blast this Eeason and all couples mar
rying at Krebs' during the season
will have all expenses paid and be
given a royal feast for their imme
diate bridal party. Now, isn't that
worth picking hops for?
And as for other amusements, there
is the bathing pool In the Willamette,
where hundreds go into the water
every evening, and the nightly dances,
with music by one of Portland's finest
orchestras. For those who do not care
to do camp, cooking there Is a good
restaurant, while for others there are
sto,res which furnish all provender at
Portland prices. A bakery turns out
fresh bread daily, and the butcher
shop keeps only the best of meats. A
barber and bootblack are at the serv
ice of gallant swains, and the. tele
phone is convenient for those who
desire to use it. And In addition to all
all these comforts of home is the free,
wholesome life of the country camp,
the infectious singing and laughter of
the young people in the fields, the
fragrance of the hops, the blue of the
Indian Summer. So, It's ho, for the
hopfields!
The foliage of the vines is light this
year, maklnc it easier and faster work
fto gather 'the hops. Professional pick
ers make an average of $4 per day at
the usual rate of 60 cents per box,
while amateurs range between $2.50
and $3.00. There are - families who
make a practice of going to the fields
yearly and these take home from $250
to $300, according to the number of
pickers it represents. And there are
others who do not bring home much
money, but they bring the memory of
a delightful outing and a stock of
good health for Winter use. So who
would not pick hops? it seems that
Leveryone may prudently "speak at
once, ' ror does not the big sign read:
"Wanted, 1200 hoppickers!"
REALTY BOARD IN SESSION
Passes Resolution Indorsing East
Third Franchise and Fill Benefit.
The Realty Board of Portland met In
regular session yesterday afternoon in
the Chamber of Commerce hall and de
clared itself in favor of the East Side
street franchise, although not with
out dissenting voices. President W. H.
Moore was In the chair and J. O. Roun
tree acted as secretary.
The secretary read resolutions fav
oring the granting of the East Third
street franchise to the Oregon Railroad
& Navigation Company, which he moved
should be adopted as the sentiment of
the Realty Board and that a committee
ices
05
1
should be appointed to lay such res
olutions before the Common Council.
Mr. Griffin spoke uncompromisingly
against such action. It would shut out
other roads altogether, he said. The
property-owners on the East BUe
would oppose It, and furthermore it
was unjust to the people of Portland
that a few should profit by the filling
of East Third street by the railroad.
Others sided with Mr. Griffin.
Charles E. Fields declared the East
Side people would favor the proposition
unanimously.
Mr. Griffin moved to "lay the motion
on the table pending the attendance of
a larger number of .members."
W. H. Grindstaff seconded the orig
inal motion, and the motion to lay on
the table failing of a second the resolu
tions came to a vote and carried.
The chair appointed J. O. Rountree,
W. H. Grindstaff and Charles E.
Fields a committee to lay the resolu
tion before the Council next Wednes
day night.
The board adjourned to meet in
special session the first Tuesday in
September.
MORE SUITS AGIST TAFT
PLUMBER BRINGS ACTION TO
COLIyECT FOR WORK DOXE.
Alleges That Real Estate Broker Has
Xot Paid for Labor Performed
on House In Firland.
W. H. Taft, a. real estate broker whose
creditors have recently been trying to
force collection of debts, is defendant
in two suits filed in the State Circuit
Court by Peter W. Brltts, a plumber
living at Lourelwood on the Mount
Scott line. The suits are to recover
moneys due on houses built by Taft in
Firland.
One suit Is filed against Kathryn O.
Taft, W. H. Taft and A. P. Lechler, to
collect $129.03, said to be due for plumb
ing materials and work on a house hi
Firland. At the time the contract for
the work was drawn, according to the
complaint, Taft was the reputed owner
of the premises In questlonv but it is
understood that an interest has since
been transferred to A, P. Lechler.
The second case is of the same na
ture, but In this B. B. Bowman is made
co-defendant with the Tafts. It is
brought to collect $33.58 on a similar con
tract for work done on a house at Fir
land.. The original amount involved in
this contract was $133.58, but $100, ac
cording to the plaintff, has been paia.
Whitfield and Farrington are attorneys
for the pjalntiff.
It was reported on the streets yester
day that E. M. Slmonton, of the Ames
Mercantile Agency, had arranged to pay
Taft's debts, which are said to amount
to over $3000, and to take as security a
tie-mill at Woodland, Wash. Taft's meth
ods are criticised by his creditors.

Railroad Detective Arrests a
Boxcar Thief at Troutdale.
MAKES FULL CONFESSION
Man Under Arrest Believed to Be
Member of Gang That Has Been
Looting Cars on the O. R.
& N. of Freight.
Detective Fitzgerald, of the O. R. & N.t
last night apprehended at Troutdale a
boxcar thief whom he believes to be a
member of an organized gang that has
been looting cars of valuable freight.
Frank Graves, a brakeman, was taken
Into custody, and Ftzgerald very cleverly
detected hm with stolen property on his
person. Numerous thefts from frelghtcars
on the O. R. & N. east of Portland have
been reported of late, and the railroad
detectives have been on the lookout for
the criminals.
Last night Fitzgerald was going East
on a passenger train. He dropped off at
Troutdale, where a freight was on the
siding. The conductor told him that one
of his cars had been brbken into, so Fitz
gerald immediately got his baggage and
camped on the scene. A search of the
train revealed several large boxes and
bundles of goods hidden on the engine
tank. The conductor of the freight had
detected the odor of liquor on the breath
of Graves, so a close watch was maA
of him. Soon he was noticed unloading
the stolen goods from the tank, and Fltz
gerald stepped from a Bhadow and placed
him under arrest at the point of a gun.
At first he denied the theft, but when
other articles were found on his person he
confessed to the whole affair
Graves was brought to the city on
freight train and locked in the City Jail
on the charge of larceny from a boxca
Policemen were also detailed to watch in
coming trains for other suspects.
The stolen goods consisted of several
large boxes of cigars and a bundle of
overcoats. .
Graves has been living in the Mackay
building In Lower Albina. His home is
in Kansas, and Detective Fitzgerald says
that he is now living under an assumed
name, and that he has turned previous
tricks.
WATER-USERS WILL MEET
BOARD OF TRADE TO ISSUE
CALL FOR CONFERENCE.
Irrigators From All Over the State
Will Be Asked to Meet at Salem
to Formulate Code.
The legislative committee of the Port
land Board of Trade will soon Issue a
call for a conference of Irrigators and
water-users throughout the state to
meet at Salem September 10 and 11. The
purpose of the convention will be to con
sider the preparation of an Irrigation
code to be submitted to the Legislature
for enactment.
The members of the committee believe
that the changed conditions in the Irri
gation districts and the use of water
generally brought about by the activities
of the Reclamation Service necessitate
tffe construction of a code to govern the
use of water tn the future and to fix
the invested rights now --existing. Invi
tations to attend the convention will
be mailed to all the commercial organiza
tions and water-users' associations in
the state.
Arrangements have been made to have
present many of the most prominent of
ficials of the Reclamation Service,
among whom are: F. H. Neweli, chief
engineer; Morris Blen, chief counsel,
and D. C. Henny, supervising engineers.
Among the other prominent men present
will be: Elwood Mead, chief of the bu
reau of irrigation and drainage Investiga
tions; A. P. Stover, expert secured
through the Influence of the Board of
Trade to Investigate the possibilities of
the Willamette Valley for intensive

PETER JOHNSON RELEASED
Witnesses" Are Unable to Identify
Him as Helen Lavery's Assailant.
Ail the witnesses against Peter
Johnson or John Peterson, who was
suspected of brutally assaulting the 4-year-old
daughter of Harry Lavery
changed their minds yesterday and the
suspected man was released on the mo
tion of Deputy District Attorney
Brand.
The two little girls who told the po
lice officers that they saw the, accused
man lead away the Lavery girl on
Portland Heights at the time the out
rage was committed, yesterday decided
they were not positive that Peterson is
the man and it was noticed that one
has changed her mind as to the Iden
tity of the man altogether while the
other "wns not sure."
The last straw In the accusation, the
statement of Percy Hall, who was
brought from Tillamobk to Identify Pe
terson, did not establish Peterson's or
Johnson's connection with the crime, as
the boy said that the accused looked
like the man but was not sure that it
was the same one
After Peterson or Johnson was re
leased on the charge of assault Attor
ney Brand preferred a charge of va
grancy against him and Judge Came-,
ron ordered him to leave town.
Is the Joy of the household, for without
it no happiness can be complete. How
sweet the picture of mother and babe,
anerels smile at and commend the
