PORTLAND LEADS
IN WHEAT TRADE
Exports for Ten Months Far
Ahead of Puget Sound
Ports.
FEDERAL BUREAU'S REPORT
ev Orleans and Baltimore Have
Also Been Passed, While Flour
Shipments Show Gain of
Almost 100 Per Cent.
ORBOONIAN X BV3 BUREAU. Wash
ington. Nov. 20. Portland lias so far out
classed Puget Sound In the exportation
ot wheat, that the cities to the north
can hardly be reckoned us active com
petitors In this trade. The ofticlal figures
prepared by the Department of Commerce
and Labor, giving exports for the ten
months ending with October, show that
between January 1 and October 31, 1907.
l.SDlMft) bushels of wheat were shipped
from Portland as against 2.755,801 bushels
rxportcd from there In the corresponding
months of 1906.
The total export of Puget Sound cities
for the ten month of 1907 was 3.513.430
bushels. Puget Sound's wheat trade has
declined in the last year almost as rapidly
as Portland has gained, and the position
of the two customs districts Is reversed.
During the year Portland has passed
Puget Sound. New Orleans and Baltimore,
11 of which were last year heavier ex
porters than the city on the Willamette.
Although Puget Sound is losing Its
wheal trade, It is making material pro
gress in its exportatlons of flour, but
slower progress relatively than Portland.
In the ten months of 1906. Puget Sound
fxported 1.932.705 barrels of flour; In
the corresponding ten months of 1907 the
exportation had grown to 2,392.840 barrels.
Portland, on the other hand, exported
S13.S34 barrels in the ten months of 1906.
and in the corresponding ten months of
1907, had shipped 1,168.886 barrels, a gain
jf more than 100 per cent, and actual
Jain of 655.000 barrels. The percentage
Rain on Puget Sound was comparatively
mall and the actual gain was only 370.000
darrcls.
As has been noted, for many months
San FiancUco has long since dropped out
af the wheat and flour export trade and
no longer considered ns a competitor
)f Poitland and Puget Sound.
H RIFLE ASSOCIATION
NATIONAL GUARD OFFICERS
LAUNCH ORGANIZATION'.
'."urpo.se Is to Encourage Public in
terest In Skillful Use of
Firearms.
The organization of a State Rifle Asso
ciation was effected at the Armory last
light when General James A. Drain, pres
ident of the National Rifle Association,
met with the officers of t..e National
liuard here to "discuss the Important sub
lect of rifle practice. While Interest In
iiarksniaushlp has been marked In Ore
ion Guard circles for several years past,
:he newly formed association will serve
to spread this Interest to civli -.n rifle
rlubs. rtS General Drain j.olnted out,
:he modern soldier must be a marksman
nd to be a marksman he must have long
tnd persistent training in the firing of a
Ifle. The more people In the United
states who are able to drive a bullet
itialght, the safer the country In event
f war.
The state association will affiliate with
ihc Oregon Guard and Its membership will
je restricted to American citizens of the
letter type. Klfle tournaments will be
trranged yearly In which the civilian as
R'ell as military marksmen can compete.
And since the average normal, wholesor-e
American can pretty well be depended
lpon In event of war, the advantage of
Irllllng as many as possible In accurate
mooting is patent. General Lraln stated.
The adoption of a set of by-laws was
unanimously made. Adjutant-eneral W.
""" ''' ry ' 'Or"" ' ""fe1' ijp """ - r-wm,.,,.
E. Flnzer. an active exponent of marks
manship, was selected president, with Cap
tain R. O. Scott, vice-president; First
Lieutenant Jenkins, secretary; Major T.
X. Dunbar, treasurer, and Major F. S.
Baker, executive officer.
General Drain, formerly Adjutant-General
of the State of Washington, arrived
In the city early In the day as representa
tive of the National Rifle Association for
the express purpose of perfecting the or
ganization In question. Similar asso
ciations are being formed in all the voast
and Western states Ly Gei.era. Drain.
While In the city he was the guest of the
Oregon Xational Guard Association and
following the meeting of last night an in
formal reception was held in the quarters
of the Board of Officers at the Armony.
He was accompanied to the city by Adjutant-General
Hamilton, of Was-i.-ngton.
The General reports great success in
forming rifle clubs and predicts that wltu
ln the next few years th eUnlted States
will be able to boast 300,000 expert rifle
men. He left on the late train for Cali
fornia where another rifle association will
be formed.
ISSUE MORE CURRENCY
Oregon Xational Banks Work to Re
lieve Stringency.
Many National banks in Oregon are
increasing their bunk note circulation
to help out In the present financial
stringency. More money is a pressing
need, and when this can be met by the
issuance of more bank notes it Is a
distinct relief. Portland National
banks arc, however, up to the limit ol
the circulation allowed by law already,
and wHl not attempt to add to their
circulation. In the case of the First
National and the United States Nation
al, circulation is allowed to the
amount of 5d0,000, which is the
amount of the capital stock of each
bank.
Smaller interior banks are Intent on
addding to the circulating medium in
their localities and are taking steps
to Issue additional bank notes. Many
are bidding on the new Panama bond
Issue, while others are trying to get
earlier issues of Government bonds,
which have fallen In price since news
of the Intended Panama issue was
published.
Banks which have bonds on hand
that can be used to secure additional
circulation will be helped by the Issue
of more bank notes. rut, on the other
hand, If they have to pay out their
money for Government bonds to secure
issues of additional notes, nothing Is
to be gained.
Better conditions were apparent
locally yesterday. Wheat was being
moved more freely. This was one of
the best Indications of improvement.
Private advices from San Francisco
were to the effect that there is a
pronounced Improvement in conditions
there.
CARING FOR THE INDIANS
Appeal to Workers of Methodist
Episcopal Church.
PORTLAND. Nov. 20 (To the Editor.!
All honor to Bishop Hamilton, of California,
for his defense or the Indian.
"Admitting that we have made 400 treat
ies with them, and broken every one." as
tne DUhop says, and that "there are still
2." tribes and parts of tribes who have never
heard the Gospel." It la a strange position
for a great missionary church to argue In
favor of cutting down the appropriation for
the Indians, and that one should aav. "the
less we say about our work among the In
dians the better."
What about Mr. Duncan's work with the
Indians? A whole tribe has been redeemed
from savagery to a state of lofty civilization.
General Cook wrote of the Apaches: "No
treaty had ever been broken by them until
the white man had broken it the Indian i
had asked for redress In vain. If the Greeks I
and Romans had done aa nobln deeds In 1
defense of their liberty, we would write
them In books for the education of our I
children, but because the Indian's own veins
of silver and measures of coal, their land is
never leu to tnem. but is given to the
poller." General William Wetherspoon. who
was sent with these Apaches to Alabama
these bad Apaches found them most honest,
honorable men and only fierce when ' the
white man's liquor had maddened them.
Is there not a Christian man or woman
of means, or a bishop, who will go and
give themselves to this work, as does Mrs.
Bldwell. of California, who has a large In
dian territory for whom she leaves the gay
world to establish in well doing. Mrs. Bid
well, of Chlco. Cat. can give some account
of her wards. She Is one of the vice-presidents
of the Indian Rights Association.

COLUMBIA IMVERSITV FOOTBALL TKAM. WHICH DEFEATED PORTLAND ACADEMY YESTERDAY, 6 TO 0.
IN B! COLUMBIA
Football Game Lost, 6 to 0, by
Portland Academy.
WEST SIDE HIGH CHAMPION
Interesting Contest Decides Inter
scholastic Pentium Varsity Is
Stronger in Every Department
and Academy on Defensive.
On a sea of mud on Multnomah field
yesterday afternon, Columbia University
football team defeated Portland Academy
by a score of 6 to 0, and by this defeat
put the academy out of the race for the
Interscholastlc championship, giving the
pennant to the West Side High School
team. Columbia's one touchdown was
scored In the second half, by Walker.
Columbia had forced the ball to the
academy five-yard line, and falling to
make the necessary yardage lost the ball.
The academy kicked out from Its five
yard line. Ennls, the Columbia quarter,
fumbled the ball, and Xorris rushed In on
It. At this juncture. Walker, Columbia's
big full, picked up the ball, and by a
magnificent run of 40- yards, through the
entire bunch of academy players, suc
ceeded In planting the pigskin behind the
goal.
The game was all Columbia. In both
halves the varsity had the better of the
contest, 'the academy playing a defen
sive game. Ire the first half, Columbia
worked the ball up within one foot of
the academy's line but failed to send It
over, and losing the ball also lost all
chance to score In that half. In the first
the academy also came near scoring'. It
worked the ball up to Columbia's five
yard line but could not make the ne -es-sary
yardage.
Columbia won on all-round ability.
Headwork and teamwork both were su
perior to that of the academy bunch. Co
lumbia played straight football, worked
the ends, used the forward pass, cross
bucks. In fact every kind of football.
Pomeruy. Ennls and Walker all played
great games. Ponieroy especially. Time
after time he circled the academy ends
for ten and 30-yard gains, while Walker,
the fullback, could be depended on for
yardage every time he hit the line. Ennls
in managing the team, receiving and run
ning back punts, also proved good. Hurl
burt played the whole game for the
academy.
Columbia kicked off In the first half
but the academy was unable to make
yardage, and punted. Columbia after two
downs, returned the punt. For a while
a kicking battle was kept up. Columbia
kicking, recovered the ball on a fumble,
and then started toward the academy
goal. By a series of end runs and straight
bucks, together with two successful for
ward passes. It worked the ball up to
the academy's five-yard line, but failed
to send it over in three downs. The
academy kicked out, then by a recovered
punt, forward passes and lucky combi
nations worked the ball toward the var
sity goal. It came within five yards
of the line, but the academy failed to
send It over. For the rest of the half,
the academy played on the defensive.
In the second half, the academy
kicked, and Columbia started toward the
goal. Several punts were exchanged,
Columbia gaining on each exchange. It
carried the ball from the academy's 50
yard line to Its five-yard line by a series
of llnebucks by Walker and end runs by
Pomeroy. On the five-yard line it failed,
and the ball went over to the academy,
Hurlburt punting to the center of the
field. Ennls dropped the ball and NorrliL,
the academy end, was down on him
when Walker, the fullback, running over,
picked up the pigskin, and carried It 40
yards through the entire academy team
for a touchdown. He kicked the goal.
When play was resumed Columbia by
fierce end runs and rushes carried the bail
to the academy's 40-yard line when the
half ended. The line-up:

B1TTKR TOWARD REFEREE HUG
Columbia Complains of Shabby
Treatment at Eugene.
THE DALLES. Or., Nov. 20. (Spe
cial.) Members of The Dalles Colum
bia Athletic Club football team, of this
city, are very strong In their denuncia
tion of Referee George Hug, because
of his action in refusing to allow a
touchdown in Saturday's game. The
Dalles players say that Oregon punted
to McCoy, who caught the ball and re
turned the kick. As the ball sailed
toward Oregon's goal-line, an Oregon
player jumped into the air and fumbled
the ball on his own rive-yard line.
Right Halfback Groehler, of the Co
lumbia team, recovered the ball and
smashed over Oregon's line for a
touchdown, in the very shadow of the
students' goal posts.
Referee Hug quickly stepped into
the melee and carried the ball out, a
the Columblas supposed, for the goal
kick. The visiting team, however, was
astounded when Hug, after a moment's
deliberation and advice from Coach
Chase, of the Oregon team, announced
a penalty of 13 yards on The Dalles
team for a forward pass and refused
to allow a touchdown. Hug at this
point refused to reason with Umpire
Steers or Captain McCoy, of the Colum
blas. The Columbias also assert In no un
certain terms that Coach Chase In
structed Field Judge MiClaln and the
head linesman, who arc both Oregon
men, that Referee Hug should be sus
tained in his decision. This piece of
work was so raw that the entire Co
lumbia team left the Held In a body.
The Oregon rooters made no demon
stration as The Dalles team walked off
the field, and many of the most en
thusiastic rooters, besides leading cit
izens of Eugene, maintain that the
Columblas were clearly entitled to a
touchdown. The Columblas base their
contention on rule 20, section 3, which
says: "Any player being off-side Is
put on-side when the ball Is touched
by an opponent."
The Columblas wish it undertsood
that no 111 feeling is harbored toward
the University students or Oregon
team, but maintain that Referee Hug
deliberately robbed them of a victory
which was Justly earned.
" WEARY" CHAXBLER TO COACH

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene,
Or., Nov. 20. (Special.) William G.
Chandler, familiarly known as "Weary"
Chandler to followers of athletics
throughout the Northwest, Is due to
arrive In Eugene Saturday from his
home at Marshfield. He will aid In
coaching the Oregon team for its an

end, and was picked for that position
on the All-Northwest team for three

WANT TO PLAY IN PORTLAND
Corvallis Asks Oregon to Schedule
Next Game for Metropolis.
OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE,
Corvallis, Or.. Nov. 20. (Special.) Man
ager B. H. Greenhaw, of the O. A. C.
football team has written to the manage
ment of the University of Oregon eleven,
asking that next year's game between the
two state institutions be played In Port
land on a date slightly later than the
contest of this year. Under former pre
cedents. Corvallis Is the natural place for
the next game, but It Is the universal
wish of the student body and others
that the game be played In Portland.
Manager Greenhaw reasons that the
university management could not well re
fuse to play In Portland. On account of
the very pleasant relations recently estab
lished between the two institutions, the
university would not, as a mere matter of
sportsmanlike courtesy, decline the Port
land arrangement.
Carnegie Gives Free Football.
PITTSBURG, Pa., Nov. 20. Andrew Car
negie has started out to eliminate the
commercial spirit from the game of foot
ball, and as a first movement will bring
the Lehigh University team to Pittsburg

to play the Carnegie "Tech." School on
Thanksgiving day. He will offer this at
traction to the people of Pittsburg abso
lutely free.
It is said this will cut deep into the
receipts of the W. U. P. Pennsylvania
State College game, booked for Pittsburg
that day. Tho Carnegie School does not
seem to care for that, but Is advertising
the game the same as if big money is to
be made out of it.
