1 THE MOKMJfG OREGOXIAN. THURSDAY, AUGUST 30. 190C. ILL BE AFLOAT ' IN A WEEK MORE Steamer Geo. W. Elder to Leave St. Johns Drydock Next Wednesday. REPAIRS ALMOST FINISHED May Operate In Conjunctlou "With Koanoke Doe Steamer Idne Has Been ot Great Benefit to Local -Shipping Firms. In another -week the steamship George "W. Elder will be floated from the dry lock and, according to her owners, will ' he a much finer, sounder and faster ves j bel than before ehe ran on the rocks in 'the Columbia River off Goble, Or., in (January. 1905. On May 22 last. Captain -V. H. aker and his wrecking crew from the Great Lakes, succeeded in pulling the vessel off her berth on the rocks. The wreckers were employed toy J. H. Peterson, of this city, who had pur chased the vessel from the underwriters .after several unsuccessful attempts to illft her had failed. One week later the Fiona: submersed craft was placed on the (Port ot Portland drydock at St. Johns, I and had been undergoing repairs there tever since. At the rate of 110 per day dock charges, the cost of this Item alone I will run over $10,600. The cost of dock (jirivilcgos for the vessel will be the smal lest Item In the expense of repairing the Vveswel, for ever since she was placed on the lift, there have been from 100 to 209 J skilled mechanics employed in the re ! construction of the vessel. The large (hole stove in her hull made It necessary .to replace the old iron plates which formed that section of the vessel with new steel plates, and the work of riveting these J plates together has been a tedious Job. . The first Job undertaken by the contrae Jtors was the clearing of the vessel's hold "of the tons of cement that had been ' placed over the hole in her hull before she was raised. Now that the work is practically completed, her owners are In la cheerful frame of mind and have great topes in the future of the vessel. The Elder is being equipped with olK burning furnaces, and will be one knot taster than before. As soon as the ves sel Is floated the work of fitting her with new furnishJngB, both inside and out. will he taken up, and it is probable that the steamer will be taken to Vic toria to have this portion of the work done. J. H. Peterson and Charles P. Doe, joint owners of the vessel, have not yet definitely decided as to the ultimate run on which she will be operated, but more than likely the vessel will ply between Portland and San Pedro in conjunction with the Roanoke. This latter vessel has been the only passenger vessel be tween Portland and San Francisco since the beginning of the sailors' strike, with the exception of the first few weeks, when the F. A. Kilbum carried passen gers to the Bay City. On account of the demand for trans portation to the coastwise towns of Coos Bay and Eureka points, the management of this latter vessel were forced to dis continue handling through traffic, which left the Roanoke as the only vessel avail able to the traveling public. The Roanoke has proved a great help to the merchants of this city, for the reason that she is a vessel of the same size as the steamship Columbia, of the Harriman system, and can handle a large cargo. According to Agent Harry Young, of the North Pacific Steamship Com pany, the Roanoke has repeatedly carried extra freight from other lines as an ac commodation to the shippers, making room for it by cutting down on the list ing of other consignments when this was found necessary. When the vessel sails tonight she will have her usual capacity cargo, BOO tons of which consists of freight that was refused by the steam ers Alliance and F. A. Kilburn, both of which had their space engaged before -he date of sailing. K1XBUKX LEAVES TONIGHT. Coastwise Steamer Will Have Full Cargo of Trclght and Passengers. The steamer F. A. Kilburn leaves to night for Coos Bay points. Eureka and Can Francisco, with a full cargo of freight tfor the coastwise potts. She will also ararry 84 passengers for Coos Bay and ,32ureka. but none for San Francisco, as jthe Watsonville Navigation Company dis continued handling through passengers to jthe Bay City some few weeks ago. This was done in order to accommodate the passengers desiring transportation to the other two ports. Agent Greenough was kept busy yester day allotting space to the various con eignees, for there was more freight offer ed than the capacity of the vessel will ac commodate, and large consignments had to be cut considerably. The vessel sails fit 8 o'clock. i I) Alt R ACOUT A -GETS AW AT. Icaptain Doran Slay Leave Vessel at San Francisco lor the Columbia, The San Francisco & Portland steamship Company's liner Barracouta mailed for San FTancisco at 11 o'clock last evening with a full cargo of Trelght consigned by local merchants to the Bay City. The present voyage may be the last on which Captain Doran will comnfand the big freighter, for he is scheduled to take charge of the steamship Columbia when s that vessel is ready for operation, which will probably be about the time the Barracouta arrives at the southern ter minus of her route. The steamer Costa Rica arrived at her dock last evening and commenced discharging freight immediately. She will be ready to sail on the return trip Saturday night. Tug Sinks When Crew Sleeps. VANCOUVER, B. C, Aug. 29. The tug Haven Is at the bottom of Howe Sound find the tug Lenora Is on the beach near JSiwash Rock, at the entrance to the har bor. The Raven got on the rocks at Gambler Island, while the crew were asleep. The Lenora was bringing a boom of logs up False Creek, when the force of the wind and tossing seas threw her on the beach. Schooner Celia Wrecked. PACIFIC GROVE. Cal.. Aug. 29. (Spe cial.) The schooner Celia, bound from Banta Cms to Monterey with a partial cargo of lumber, ran on the rocks off Point Joe last night, and will be a total wreck. The scene of the disaster Is close to where the steamer St. Paul wag lost laet Winter. Captain Newman and the vessel's crew escaped in the ship's boats. Japanese Escape Detention-House. PORT TOWNSEND, Wash., Aug. 29. (Special.) Four Japanese stowaways who tsato being held in the detention-house here escaped last night by cutting through the panel of the door of the room In which they were confined. One of the fleeing Japanese was recaptured in a few moments, but the others-, among whom was the ringleader, a young Japa nese criminal, made good, their escape In the darkness. Robert Duncan Coming for Wheat. The British ship Robert Duncan -was chartered yesterday by Taylor, Young & Co. to load wheat at this port for the Uni ted Kingdom. The vessel is expected to arrive here in December, and will carry about 3000 tons. She has been engaged at union rates, and is the first new charter for a couple of weeks. Marine Notes. The schooner Prosper finished loading lumber at the Vancouver Mill yesterday and will leave down for Astoria today. The British bark Iverna is en route to this port in ballast from Acapulco, Mexico. She Is to carry grain to the United Kingdom. The Italian ship Erasmo left down yes terday bound for Genoa, Italy. She has a cargo of 1.200.000 feet of lumber for the Mediterranean port. The British eteamship Vermont will come up to Portland from Linnton this morning. She has been loading a part of her lumber cargo there, and will finish here. Inspectors Edwards and Fuller looked over the steamers Pomona and Ockla hama yesterday. The Pomona will com- BIG TRAMP STEAMSHIP FOR l ST? n Vi STEAMSHIP NORMAN ISLES. The big Norwegian tramp steamship, Norman Isles, arrived In the local harbor late last night. She left up from Astoria yesterday afternoon, bat owing to the thick weather prevailing along the river, took longer to come up than usual. She brought a cargo of cement from Antwerp to San .Francisco, part of which wax taken to Seattle and discharged there, after which the big steamer was ordered to Portland to load lumber for - the Pacific Export Lumber Company, which cargo is destined for Northern China. She Is a large carrier and will take about 8.000.000 feet of lumber, which will be loaded at the Inman, Poulsen Mill. mence running to Upper Willamette points today. The British steamer Franklyn has been chartered to bring a cargo of cement from Sweden to San Francisco, and will probably come to this port for lumber after discharging at the Bay City. The deckhands on the river steamer Joseph Kellogg went on a strike yester day. They claim they should toe paid longshoremen's wages for loading and unloading the steamer, and some diffi culty is being experienced In securing bands to take their places. Arrivals and Departures.

GIRL CIGARETTE FIENDS. Xegro Accused of Giving Them Mate rials for Smoking. Caught In the act of rolling cigar ettes with the experience of old timers, using tobacco given them by a negro, two white girls, one 16 and the other 17 years old, were arrested at The Oaks last night by Special Officer Lillis, who brought the two youthful "fiends" to the station. When questioned by Captain Slover, the girls admitted they smoked cigar ettes at the time the officer arrested them and declared both the tobacco and the papers were given them by William Summer, 21 years old, a negro employed at The Oaks in one of the shows. Sumner was arrested later in the evening and confessed that be gave the girls the papers and the to bacco, but declared he did so at the girls' request. He was locked up on a charge of contributing to the delin quency of minors and will have a hear ing before Judge Strode in the Muni cipal Court this morning.

OREGON GOATS PROSPER Georgeson Proposes Forest Reserve In Interior, Where Lumber Is Costly, and Breeding of Live stock on Islands. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Aug. 29. Agriculture, under cer tain limitations, is a complete success in Alaska. This has been borne out by experiments started several years ago by the Department of Agriculture and later by actual farming that has been done by a rapidly increasing number of farm ers who have gone into the territory ARRIVES TO LOAD LUMBER CHINA :. - from the northern tier of states. Each year the department has Issued a report on the progress of agricultural develop ment and each succeeding report shows an increased production and an increase in' the farm acreage. Generally speaking, all vegetables that ripen quickly can be successfully grown in Alaska, and the seme is true of fruits, provided Jhe trees can withstand the long, cold Winters. Year by year new varieties of fruits and vegetables are being expe rimented with, until today the depart ment presents a great array, that in cludes most of the fruits, berries and vegetables found on the table of the American farmer. Experience has dem onstrated, however, that vegetables and grains do best when carefully acclimated. Seed grown in Alaska produces better results than seed imported from the states; fruits and berries from the states do better when grafted or crossed with native trees or bushes. But the Alaskan farmers are learning how and with the aid of the department experiment sta tions are now able to raise crops at a good profit. Yearly the Imports' of food products into Alaska are declining as the local supply increases. Good Livestock Country. Having expended large sums on vegeta bles and fruit experiments. Professor C. C. Georgeson, in charge of this work in Alaska, now seeks an annual appropria tion from Congress to carry on expe riments with livestock. Alaska imports most of its meats, and milk is today very scarce. A few livestock shipped to Alaska In times past warrant the belief that stockraislng in certain localities can be made a success, provided the stock are well chosen and of breeds that can stand the rigorous Winters. What Pro fessor Georgeson seeks is what he terms a "general purpose animal," one which makes good beef and can at the same time be used for the dairy. Congress has already appropriated over $200,000 for the introduction of reindeer Into Alaska, and with good results, but he believes that even better results can be attained by introducing cattle. To start with, he wants $10,000 to establish a livestock sta tion on Kadlak Island. That will suffice to determine the kinds of stock best suited to that region. Later stations could be established elsewhere, where there is abundant pasturage. In August, 1905, Judge Andrew Helman at Copper Center imported from Mon mouth, Or., 25 grade Angora ewes and one buck. One year later he reported that the Copper River Valley is an ideal place for the propagation of Angora goats, and announces his Intention of Im porting 200 more ewes early next season. He finds that a goat will dress from 40 to 60 pounds, and the meat, at 25 cents a pound, is cheap in that market. He says feed is plentiful and cheap, and pre dicts a great future for the industry, in which he is Alaska's pioneer. More Forest Reserves Xeeded. Two years ago an enormous forest re serve was created to take in the best timber land in Alaska, found on the isl ands of the Alexander archipelago on the southeast coast. Now there is demand for reserves in the Interior. Professor Georgeson says that the forests of the Interior are of such importance that they should be accorded Government protec tion. The timber of the interior is smaller than that of the coast, the trees, mainly spruce, running only 18 to 20 inches in diameter, but right in the midst of these Interior forests lumber is worth $100 per 1000 feet, and at the mines, only 20 miles from the mills, it brings $225 per 1000 feet. Fire works great damage in these inte rior forests, whereas the frequent heavy rains on the coast are almost an abso lute protection against forest fires. These interior forests are doubly valuable be cause of their slow growth, for once de stroyed or denuded they take many times longer to develop than the forests in the states Professor Georgeson says that at the prices now prevailing the timber in Tan ana Valley alone is worth all the Gov ernment paid for Alaska. He believes this enormous asset should be protected by the Government and the cutting of tim ber be so regulated that the people of the future may share in its benefits. There is need of Government regulation to prevent wasteful cutting, but more par ticularly to prevent the waste that re sults from fires. Reserves, once created, would need careful patrolling. It is rec ommended that, if an interior reserve is created, miners and settlers have the free use of timber, as in the states, but the use of timber should be restricted to the needs of the people who live in the vicinity and are developing the coun try. Hot Springs Make Rich Farm. One of the most interesting features of Professor Georgeson's report is his de scription of the Hot Springs farm. About 0 miles from the mouth of the Tanana River is a famous hot spring. The hot water bubbles to the surface in a num ber of springs, and at other points there are seepages. J. F. Karshner, a Kansas farmer, happened on these springs and, correctly estimating their importance, lo cated a homestead, including the springs. About 25 or 30 acres of his homestead are warmed, either by the presence of the springs or from underlying rocks which heat the water. Whatever the cause, Karshner is raising some of the record crops of Alaska. He gets his veg etables on the market ahead of all com petitors and can raise a wider variety of garden truck than any other farmer in the territory. On July 24 he had mar keted his early cabbages, cauliflower, car rots and peas, to say nothing of lettuce, radishes, turnips and other crops of rapid growth. "This farm," says' Professor Georgeson, "is a patch of the temperate zone put down near the center of Alaska." Farming by hot springs is unique; this Karshner farm is the peer of any In all Alaska. WANTS ANOTHER DEPUTY SHERIFF STEVENS APPLIES TO THE COUNTY COURT. Asks That Additional Help Be Pro vided and That Deputy Jones' Salary Be Raised. Sheriff Stevens yesterday submitted a written communication to Judge Webster and County Commissioners Barnes and Llghtner, asking that the number of his outside deputies be in creased from four to five, and also re questing that the wages of Joseph H. Jones,, who is engaged on the outside collecting personal property taxes, be fixed at $90 per month. Instead of $75. Sheriff Stevens reported that Mr. Jones has done good work, averaging 140 collections per day. The outside deputies at present con nected with the Sheriff's office are N. H. Bird, Penumbra Kelly, Frank Beatty and Archie Leonard. W. B. Holllngsworth and Harvey I More land, who were office deputies under Sheriff Word, are still retained, but for how long has not yet been de cided. Rumor is that they will be re tained permanently by Sheriff Stevens. Mr. Leonard, it is supposed, will work eventually as an office deputy, which would place Mr. Moreland in the posi tion of an outside deputy. When Sheriff Stevens, assumed of fice he asked the County Court mem bers to allow him to appoint two ad ditional outside deputies at $90 a month, saying he had promised the positions. He also desired to appoint a deputy sheriff to act as deputy con stable and assist Constable Wagner in Justice Reid's court. His request at that time was not granted, and Judge Webster and Commissioners Barnes and Llghtner, have taken the present communication under advisement. AWARDED TO IiOUIS EBELIVG Restaurant Man to Feed Prisoners at 11 1-2 Cents a Meal. Louis Ebeling was awarded the con tract by the members of the County Commissioners' Court yesterday to feed the prisoners confined in the county Jail for a period of one year beginning September 1. The price to be paid Is 11 cents a meal, two meals a day. The rate allowed Sheriff Ward was 17 cents a meal, and Sheriff Stevens has demanded $3 a week to feed the prisoners. Mr. Ebeling con ducts a restaurant on Fourth street near Salmon street, which is Just op posite " the Court House, and he will have employes carry, the meals Into the Jail. Of the five bids submitted his was the lowest. His business location adjacent to the Court House gives him an advantage in furnishing the meals conveniently and hot. Breakfast is to be served between the hours of 7:30 and 8.30 A. M., to consist of one order of meat and pota toes, coffee with sugar, and one half loaf of bread for each person. Dinner, to be served between the hours of 4 and 5 P. M., to consist of one order of soup, meat, potatoes and one other vegetable, tea or coffee with sugar, and one half loaf of bread for each person. It is provided that the meals shall be served between the hours named at such time as the Sheriff may designate, and if the Sheriff does not name a time, then It is to be delivered at any time convenient to Ebeling. Ebeling agreed to use good, fresh, wholesome provisions, and to prepare them properly. The county court re serves the right to annul the contract at any time if the food or service is not satisfactory. Word was sent to Sheriff Stevens to the effect that Mr. Ebeling will com mence serving the meals on September 1. The Sheriff still maintains silence regarding what course he will pursue. New Incorporations. The Lincoln Investment Company yesterday filed articles of incorpora tion In the office of the County Clerk, capital stock $5000. The objects an nounced are to own, buy, plat and sell real estate. The' incorporators are G. G. Gammans, John A. Lee and W. M. Gregory. R. W. Price. Richard Price and E. D. Price filed articles of incorporation yesterday of the R. W. Price Harness Company, capital stock $4000. Estate Appraised at $19,4 75. The inventory and appraisement of the estate of Henry Holtgrieve, de ceased, was filed in the County Court yesterday by the appraisers H. W. Prettyman, W. G. Kerns and Ullrich Mickel. The property is valued at $19,475. CAR KNOCKS OUT WAGON Teamster Thrown From Seat and Badly Hurt In Collision. Alberta street car No. 336, while going at high speed, struck one of Crane Company's wagons at Alberta and Eleventh streets at '9 o'clock last night and as the result George L. Smith, the driver of the wagon, who lives at 858 Williams avenue, sus tained a sprain of the ankle and severe bruises all over the body. The wagon is a complete wreck and one of the horses received a Jeep wound. The driver alleges that the car was running at high speed, trying to make up for lost time, and that before he had time to swing cut of the tracks the cor struck the wagon with full force, knocking him off the seat and throwing: the wagon fully 20 feet to one side.

Mr face was covered, my eyebrows came out, and then it got in my eye. I then went to another doctor. He asked me what I was taking for it, and I told him Cuticura. He said that was a very good thing, but that he thought that my face would be marked for life. But Cuticura did its work and my face is now just as clear as it ever was. "My brother-in-law told me about . the wonderful Cuticura remedies. I took his advice and got the Ointment, Soap, and Resolvent. I washed with the Cuticura Soap and then applied the Ointment, and took Cuticura Resolvent as directed. In a short time my face began to get better, and when I had taken one bottle of Resolvent I could brush the scales off my face like a powder. When I had taken four bottles my face was as clear as ever. "I told all my friends about my remarkable cure. I feel so thankful I want everybody far and wide to know what Cuticura can do.

To take "tonics and stimulants" under such circumstances is like setting the house on fire to see it you can put it out. The right kind of food promotes re freshing sleep at night and a wide awake individual during the day. A lady changed from her old way of eating, to Grape-Nuts, and says: "For about three years I had been a great sufferer from indigestion. After trying several kinds of medicine, the doctor would ask me to drop off potatoes, then meat, and so on, but in a few days that craving, gnawing feel ing would start up, and I would vomit everything I ate and drank. "When I started on Grape-Nuts, vomiting stopped, and the bloating feeling which was so distressing dis appeared entirely. "My mother was very much bothered with diarrhea before commencing the Grape-Nuts, because her stomach was so weak she could not digest her food. Since using Grape-Nuts she is well, and says she don't think she could live without it. "It is a great brain restorer and nerve builder, for I can sleep as sound and undisturbed after a supper of Grape-Nuts as in the old days when I could not realize what they meant by a "bad stomach." There Is no medicine so beneficial to nerves and brain as a good night's sleep, such as you can enjoy after eating Grape Nuts."
