THE MORNING OKJStrONIAN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER, 4, 1906. 14 IS BY WATER ROUTE Product of Inland Empire Now Going to the Seaboard by River Craft. STEAMBOATS KEPT BUSY Vessels of the Open River Transpor tation Company Find Business lively and Carry Capacity Cargoes on Each Trip. Since the embargo on wheat declared by the O. R. & K. Company, pending the settlement of the gralnhandlers' strike, the only part of the Eastern Oregon and Washington -wheat crop coming Into Portland Is being handled by the Open River Transportation Company, the steamboats of which company are operat ing to their fullest capacity between the Celllo portage road and upper Columbia ; points. Dally round trips are being made by the steamers Mountain Gem and Relief of this company, which connect with the steamers Charles R. Spencer and one or two of the D. P. & A. boats at the west end of the portage. The steamer Relief will come down to Celilo this morning with her first cargo of wheat from Horse Heaven and Hover. Reports from the Inland Empire are that Jong strings of teams from the Horse Heaven country are coming into the town of Hover daily and unloading grain on the docks there for steamers plying be tween that town and the portage road. Captain Frank J. Smith, superintendent of water lines of the Open River Com pany, returned yesterday from a visit to the upper country and reports everything moving lively in that vicinity. The Mountain Gem, the largest vessel on the upper Columbia waters, leads the river fleet In the grain movement this year. She Is making two round trips a week between Hover and Celilo. It Is IIS miles between the two points. Relief Is Xewly Launched. The .Belief, built by the Open River Transportation Company, of Portland, ex pressly for handling the grain from Hover was launched at Blalock's last week. The Mountain Gem. carrying 110 tons of grain along with her other freight, has been unable to handle all the grain offered and the coming of the Relief will assist greatly in relieving the congestion at Hover. In case of necessity the steamer W. R. Todd is available for service and may be called upon at any time. This is Hover's first year as a wheat shipping point and the results have been most promising, sop much so that next year It is predicted the town will greatly exceed tne record for the present season. Outdistances the O. Ft. & X. Co. This season the river company has out distanced the O. R. & N. road, and next season the North Bank line, now build ing through Hover, will be in the field as the third bidder for business. The O. R. & N. runs along the water edge on the south bank; the Northern Pacific follows the water line on the north shore; the steamers ply between the tracks. AGEXT GREEXOTJGH RESIGXS Xioca-l Representative of. Steamer Kil burn Succeeded by C. E. Steelsmithi. Frank I Greenough, who has acted as agent here for the Watsonvllle Transportation Company during the past year, yesterday- tendered his res ignation to Traffic Manager S. Baruch, who is at present in Portland, the same to take effect October 6. Mr. Green ough leaves the firm with- the best fishes of his employers. They appre ciated his worth and were unwilling to see him go, but as he is considering another business proposition be made up bis mind to resign, in order to give the new enterprise his entire time and attention. Charles E. Steelsmith has been se lected as Mr. Greenough s successor, and the steamer F. A. Kilburn will hereafter dock at the foot of Oak street, wnere the new agent has his headquarters. The new quarters are much more convenient to the traveling and shipping public than was the Greenwich dock, where tb,e vessel for merly landed. The new agent will commence re ceiving freight for the next voyage of the Kilburn Monday morning. The steamer is due to arrive here about Tuesday or Wednesday. XrMBER FOR HAAVAIIAX FORTS Three Vessels Loading at Gray's Harbor Will Leave for Islands. ABERDEEN. Wash.. Oct. 3. (Spe cial.) Three lumber carriers will leave in a few days for foreign ports, carry ing in the aggregate 2,285,000 feet. The barkentine S. C. Allen, loading at the Anderson & Middleton mill, and the chooner James Rolph, at the Union mill, both go to Honolulu. The schoon er S. T. Alexander, loading also at the Union mill, goes to Kahului. The ves sels take 750.000. 735,000 and SOO.OOO re spectively. The Gray's Harbor bar was never rougher than at present, according to Captain Mattson, of the steamer Llndauer. Monday night's hurricane has kicked up big seas, say the navigators, and unpleasant pas sages in and out of the harbor will be In order for some days until the result of the wind spends Itself. . The Llndauer experienced all the Joys of a mid-ocean storm while cross ing and was tossed about in a man ner decidedly uncomfortable. Huge waves repeatedly went over the deck and a large number of windows were broken. XIXDSTROM SPRIXGS SURPRISE Mayor of Aberdeen Announces He May Move. Business to Eureka. ABERDEEN, Wash.. Oct. 3. (Spe cial.) Mayor Lindstrom, who is at the head of the Lindstrom Shipbuilding Company, returned today from Cali fornia, where he has taken the active management of a shipyard there, and announces that it is likely the build ing of vessels will be transferred from Aberdeen to Eureka on account of the high price of lumber on Gray's Har tor, which at present puts him about out of dompetition with other bidders. LumberMS shipped from Gray's Har bor to other points and then sold cheaper than It is here. The statement of Mr. Lindstrom causes great surprise here. Mr. Lind strom while away signed contracts to .build a steam schooner for Beadle .Eros., of San Francisco, and one for GRAN Matthew Turner, of that city. It is more than likely these vessels will be built at Eureka. NEW STEAMER IS XAMED. Olson & Mahony Decide to Call Their Schooner the J. Marhoffer. The Olson & Mahony Company, of San Francisco, which operates a fleet of steam schooners and lumber carriers along the Pacific Coast, announces that the new steam schooner now nearing com pletion at the Lindstrom Shipbuilding Company's yards at Aberdeen. Wash., will be called the J. Marhoffer. after one or the most prominent business men of Cres cent City, Or., who is interested in va rious shipping industries on the coast. The Marhoffer when launched will in all probability be brought around to this city for the purpose of having engines and boilers Installed here, as with her sister ship, the Jim Butler, now being equipped at the Willamette Iron Works. The Jim Butler will be ready tor her trial trip next week. She will ply between Portland and San Francisco in tne lum ber trade. Mate of Xewburg Severely Injured. ABERDEEN, Wash.. Oct. 3. (Spe cial.)

Montgomery proves Resourceful. REV. ANDREW J. MONTGOMERY, of the Third Presbyterian Church performed the marriage ceremony for Neal S. Lester and Etta New comb on the Vancouver ferry Tues day evening, tying the knot just as' the boat reached the Washington side. He was called to a house In Albina to per form the ceremony, but the bridegroom was late in arriving. When all was in readiness he handed Mr. Montgomery a marriage license issued from Cark County, Wash., and was told by the latter that it was not valid in Oregon. Mr. Montgomery, to make sure, called up County Clerk F. S. Fields at Mount Tabor and asked him about it. Mr. Field said it was not valid. He also said that he could not go to the court house for another license at that late hour at night. It was finally decided that the only way to settle matters was to go to Washing ton, so the party took the 9 o'clock car and boarded the Vancouver ferry. When the boat reached the shore and the pas sengers had left Mr. Montgomery, with the assistance of the captain, performed the ceremony in the cabin, and then all returned to Portland, reaching home at about 11 o'clock. The young couple will have a story to tell to their descendants that will always be interesting. Mr. and Mrs. Lester are Aberdeen. Wash., people. FOUR OVERCOME BY GAS UnsophisUcatel Austrians Are Saved From Asphyxiation by Chance. Four men had a narrow escape from being asphyxiated in a Sixth-street lodging-house early yesterday morn ing and were rescued in the nick of time by the quick arrival of Special Policeman Hoare and Officers Gruber and Johnson, who rushed one of them to the Good Samaritan Hospital. The four men, all Austrians, went to bed in a room at the Eldora House, 152 Sixth street. Before retiring the proprietor of the house gave them full Instructions how to turn out the gas. About 2 o'clock yesterday morning a man occupying an adjoining room heard a noise, as of someone falling. He went to investigate, and detected a strong odor of gas coming from the room where the Austrians slept. He notified several people in the house. When with their help he broke in the door, be found the. room full of escap ing gas and the four men unconscious. One of them had fallen out of bed and was lying on the floor. The people im mediately notified the Police Station, and while the patrol wagon was on its way the four unconscious men were carried out into the hallway. In a short time three of the men re gained consciousness. The weakest of the four was taken to the hospital, where his condition was pronounced not serious. From Mr. Paget Again. PORTLAND. Oct. 3. To the Editor.) I certainly have no Intention to "Quibble." and the matter of violation of Sunday laws has only crept Into this discussion as a result of the attempt of Councilman Masters to de fend himself from the charge of disloyalty to his church obligations by pleading; the compulsory clauses of one city ordinance, whilst he la plainly ignoring; the provisions of another. It is true aa you say. and 1 plead cullty to the charge, that I object to a saloon li cense "to a law-observer lust the same as to a law-breaker," but that is rather wide of the mark Just now. in view of -the fact that there Is no evidence at? hand to show that any of our saloonkeepers are In the former class. Please allow me to interpose a protect In behalf of Councilman Masters against the ap parent injustice yon do him by intimating: that his powers of observation are so limited that It Is necessary for him to be Informed by me or others before being aware of the fact that all our saloons are break rur the Sunday-closing law. but in the event that such a remote contingency is really a fact. I hereby invite Mr. Masters to accomoany me at any hour he may name on Sunday next on a tour of inspection, which I am convinced will satisfy him with great cer tainty on that point, and that. too. in spite of the public announcement to the saloon proprietors that such an Investigation has been suggested.

MRS. SELLING IN CHAIR 3Tew President Makes Timely and Tactful Address Miss Fanchon Kline Deals With Cur- rent Events. The Council of Jewish Women opened the 1306-7 season yesterday afternoon with one of the largest and most rep resentative closed meetings ever held by tuau ui sanitation, ine new officers were in their places and in addition to the unusually large number of regular mem bers, several new ones were elected and taKen into the Council. The season has started out under flattering auspices and mere is every indication that the Council will do even better work than it has done In the past, if that is possible, and main tain its place as the leading women's organization of Portland. Mrs. Ben Selling, the new president, opened the meeting with the regular business session and gave one of the best addresses ever heard from a presiding officer among the many clubs of the city. It was direct and. touched upon the points most vital to the success of the Council's work. She gave timely advice in a tact ful way and mentioned the features which seemed most important in the year's programme of work. The Bible classes, the suggestion of Dr. Wise that a library of Jewish literature be started, the rapid growth of the Neighborhood House work and the necessity for more room there, all received mention and recommendation. She explained in detail the reason for raising the yearly dues, which was clone by the national council last Spring, for the purpose of devoting a portion of the money thus accumulated by each local council to the society in New York which cares for Ignorant Jewish emigrant girls who land at Ellis Island and who are at the mercy of unscrupulous persons unless cared for by their own people. Names Federation Delegates. The president named as delegates to the State Federation of Women's Clubs, which will meet in Portland in the near future, with the council's presiding of ficer ag chairman, Mrs. S. M. Blumauer, Mrs. Max Hirsch, Mrs. L. Samuel, Mrs. M. Baruh. Mrs. L. Altman, Mrs. H. Bertha Myers. Mrs. H. Prager and Mrs. Alexander Bernstein. Mrs. Mark Levy was made chairman of a committee to confer with other fecJeration committees on the entertainment of Mrs. Sarah Piatt Decker, of Colorado, who will be present at the federation convention. The paper on "Current Events" was given by Miss Fanchon Kline and was complete in its general review of tne in teresting and Important events in the Jewish world of the present. The Rus sian troubles and disasters were natural ly the leading subjects and she gave in teresting data concerning the number of Russian refugees jvho have come to this country and the efforts to colonize them: the Jewish Chatauqua which met in Atlantic City this Summer; the settle ment of the Dreyfus affair, and the speech of Representative McDermott in the House on behalf of the persecuted Russian Jews, all received 1 careful and intelligent review, making Miss Kline's paper one . of exceptional interest and merit. The musical programme of the after noon was one of exceptional merit, the presence of the family of Mr. I. B. Rosencrantz in the city making it pos sible for the council p hear a rare musi cal treat. The young l"-year-old son, Josef Meredith Rosencrantz, whose violin playing excited such keen admiration at Temple Beth Israel at r.oi mare ser vices last Friday evening, gave a number of classical selections, being accompanied by his accomplished mother, the latter also playing two piano solos. Charmed by Young Violinist- Mr. Rosencrantz" first number was Adagio, Concerto in E flat major, Paga nini. which he played without notes and transposed to a higher key. His rendi tion of this difficult and beautiful num ber was received with great enthusiasm bv the critical and .strictly musical audi ence, and his encores were quite as pleas ing. His second number was "Souvenir d' Amerlque" arranged by Wilheimj Rosen crantz. the young man s father. Mrs. Rosencrantz distinguished herself aa a planiste by her remarkable playing of the sextette from Lucia di Lammer moor with the left hand only. Without seeing her performance it would have been impossible to detect, the fact that she used only one hand, so perfectly and evenly did she carry the theme. Her playing of this particular selection has been favorably compared with that of Fannie Bloomfleld-Zeisler. A number of musicians who had heard of young Rosencrantz' talent came to hear his playing and were much gratified. The announcement was made that ur Wise will address the Bible class next Wednesday at 2 o'clock, this being the last opportunity to hear him before he leaves Portland. A social hour followed the programme during which a buffet supper was served Mrs. Selling was warmly congratulated on her executive ability as a presiding officer, and the council realizes that It has a worthy and capable successor to Mrs. S. M. Blumauer who served 4s president for two years. HOLD ELABORATE SERVICES Orthodox Jews Celebrate Feast of Tabernacles With Full Rites. The festival of Sikkoth or feast of tabernacles is being observed by the Jewish congregations of Portland, the celebration of this time of rejoicing havintr commenced last evenine at sun down. The feast of tabernacles, or of the ingathering, was instituted by the Jewish people in ancient times in mem ory of the wandering life led by the Israelites and is always held at the harvest season. It is customary to adorn the synagogues with emblems of a bounteous harvest and after the spe cial services for the occasion the con gregations repair to elaborate booths, which are usually constructed outside the buildings, and in which elaborate feasts are served. . This custom is fully observed in the orthodox synagogues, but the reform congregations only decorate the altar, omitting the actual-booths and the feasts. Congregation Ahavi Sholom cele brates the feast of tabernacles more elaborately than any other synagogue In the city, and this year the prepara tions were quite equal to that of any previous feast. A long booth framed or covered with green branches was erected outside the synagogue walls and a long table set beneath. Bunches of fruits hung from the green cover ing and the board was spread with cakes, wine and unleaven bread, the latter prepared especially for this occasion- The presiding rabbi blesses this bread and breaks it into small pieces, each person present eating of it. There was speaking by various mem bers of the congregation and by the rabbis. It was at the feast of taber nacles three years ago that the first subscriptions for the present handsome synagogue of Ahavl Sholom were given, this congregation at that time worshiping in the old building on Sixth street, since sold and removed. Rabbi Wilmer spoke at last night's services, his subject being "In Safe ty. This morning's services will be gin at 9:30 o'clock. The responsive services in this synagogue are all in He ore w. At Temple Beth-Israel the altar was elaborately decorated in honor of the holiday and there was special music for the occasion. Rabbi Stephen S. Wise officiated and toe service was very beautiful and impressive, but there was no address. This morning there will be further services at Beth Israel at 10:31 o'clock. Sheminl Azereth will he observed Wednesday and Thursday, October 10 and li, this being the last of the Jew- sh holidays for tne present year. DIGBT BELL TONIGHT.

IMPORTANT FOR ORGEON Advance Will Do Much "to Further the Mining Industry in This State Large Supply Await i ing Cleaning Up. The sharp advance that has taken place recently in price of platinum is a matter of much importance in inose parts of Oregon and California where the platinum industry is being aevei oped. Dr. David T. Day. chief of divi sion of the United States Geological Survey, sends to The Oregonian a copy of a letter received from The Metal Industry, of New York, on the subject, and his reply. The correspondence fol lows: NEW YORK. Sept. 26. 1906. David T. Day. Esq.. United States Geological Survey, Washington. D. C: Will you kindly send us the report on platinum? We would like to present to our readers an authoritative state ment of the sources of 6upply and the pres ent conditions. Last month the price Jumped from $36 to 34. and it may go very much higher, as the supply Is not overabundant. THE METAL INDUSTRY. WASHINGTON, D. C. Sept. 2rt, 1906. The Metal Industry, New York. N. T.: In reply to your letter of September 2fi. I take pleasure In sending you under separate cover, a copy of the report of Professor Kemp on the oc currence of platinum. Our publication on this subject for last year, and also the extract from the Economic Bulletin of this year, give a good report of the work we are doing in investigating the black sands of the United States, the princi pal interest in this sand being the platinum which occasionally is found In it. Sine; these reports, the work of the survey has demonstrated that the recovery of platinum from black sands will probably be a consid erable industry in the belt of country com prised in Trinity. Humboldt, Del Norte and Siskiyou Counties, California, and the adjoin ing counties in Oregon that Is, Josephine, Jackson. Curry and Coos. At many places In this area it has been demonstrated that platinum can be saved with considerable profit by the addition of con centrating tables to the equipment of the hydraulic mines and dredges. A considerable amount of platinum Is stored up now in the concentrates obtained by the use of tables in the last few months at the Chapman mine. at Gold Bluff, Orrick's Postofnce. Humboldt County, California, and I understand that a similar large supply Is awaiting cleaning up on Galice Creek. Oregon, while preparations are In progress for the Installation of similar tables at Port Orford, Gold Beach. Kirby and Waldo, in Oregon, and at several points in California. The result of this should be to sutjcly a very considerable portion of the domestic de mand for platinum. The great specific zrav lty of platinum makes it slightly easier to clean lup even than gold on concentrating tables of the Wilfley. , Pinder, Chrlatoneen, Woodbury and Deister types. The platinum industry has undoubtedly made a marked advance In the West during the last year, and the recent significant in crease in the price will do much to advance the industry still further.
