French Vessel Clears With a
Full Wheat Cargo.
CARRIES 108,130 BUSHELS
Craft Is the Firth Grain Carrier to
Get Away During January Ex
ports for the .Month Will Ex
ceed Those of December.
The French Hhlp Crlllon cleared yes
terday for the United Kingdom for
orders with 108.130 bushels of wheat,
valued' at 197.317. The Crlllon was the
only vessel to fcet away yesterday. She
was dispatched by the Portland Flour
ing Mills Company, and is the fifth
grain vessel to clear foreign for Janu
ary. During a correspondng period of
lat month only one vessel cleared.
Grain shipments to date total 460.033
bushels of wheat and 10,002 barrels of
flour. Lumber exports amount to more
than 6,500.000 feet. For the month of
January, the exports will equal, if not
exceed, those of December in all lines.
During the last month of the calendar
year there was not a foot of lumber
sent foreign from Portland. Wheat
shipments ran In excees of 2.700,000
bushels. With the tonnage in port
ready for cargo and the receipts of
grain from the interior by all shippers
these figures will be surpassed,-and the
January figures will set a mark for the
eeason of 1907-8.

tiie completion of the repairs to the light-
ABERDEEN, Wash.. Jan . (Special.)
Reports from distant points indicate
that the high tide and wind did a great
deal of damage, especially to log booms,
a good many logs getting away. In the
harbor several launches were sunk and
the American Dredging Company lost one
thousand feet of pipe and several scows.
There are heavy washouts on the North

Suspend Work on Jetty.
FORT STEVENS. Or.. Jan. 6. (Spe

of men who were employed on the jetty
work have engaged board and room in

Japanese Not Leaving, Says
Local Vice-Consul.
ONLY NORMAL MOVEMENT
Portland Representative Declares
That Rumor From Vancouver Is
Based on Usual Return of .Ori
entals at This Season.
The story that .large numbers of Jap
anese are leaving Oregon, Washington
and British Columbia for the homeland
is ridiculed by Japanese Vice-Consul
Aiba, who said yesterday that such a
story is groundless and absolutely ab
surd. When asked about the Japanese
who have been congregating at the Con
sulate every night recently, he explained
that it is the custom of the Japanese to
celebrate the New Tear - season each
night for" a week.
"My countrymen are going back to
Japan from Portland and Oregon Just the
same now as they usually do at this time
of year," said Mr. Alba. "This story
from Vancouver is a most absurd thing,
for there are no rules or regulations in
the nation which- would call for the Jap
anese to go home at this time. I think
those who write such stories are trying
to make it appear pretty bad. They
are trying to cause a sensation."
"Are any Japanese leaving Oregon for
British Columbia?" was asked.
"I don't know whether they are or
not," replied Mr. Alba, "but those who
intend to leave for Japan usually come
to the Consulate first. There are between
TOO and 800 Japanese In Portland now,
and about 8500 in Oregon. Last January
there were about 3000 Japanese In Ore
gon, and I think about the same num
ber in Portland that there are now. Of
course these figures . are only approxi
mate. I cannot tell exactly.
"You need not worry about a war
between Japan and the United States.
It cannot be. We shall never have it.
In the Russian War, Japan was forced
to fight. She didn't want to. Ameri
can sympathy did a great deal for
Japan while she was at war with
Russia, and she knows It, and feels
grateful for it. This Is as true among
the masses of my people as It is in offi
cial clrclee.
"Of course, some yellow Japanese
journal or some partisan faction may
make sensational talk, but it amounts
to nothing. You know there are some
yellow journals in Japan, as well as In.
the United States.
"As to the stories that the Japanese
have been arming themselves, there is
no foundation to it. When the report
was made that Japanese had been drill
ing in military tactics some time ago,
I made an investigation, and none, of
the residents in that locality knew any
thing of It. The men at work in that
part of the state were cutting fire
wood. "There have been no large gather
ings of the local Japanese at all. We
are to have a email gathering at the
Consulate tonight, and have had gath
erings here for several nights in suc
cession. That is because the New
Year celebration continues about a
week. It is just the same as the email
parties you have at Christmas time.
KEEP JAPANESE AT HOME
Japan and Canada Hope to Settle
Immigration .Question.
VICTORIA. B. C, Jan. 6. Hon. Ru
dolphe Lemieux. Canadian envoy to
Japan regarding the proposed restriction
of Japanese immigration, returned today,
accompanied by Captain Verret, his pri
vate secretary. Mr. Lemieux would not
make any definite statement regarding
hie mission before reporting to the Otta
wa government, but it is learned on high
authority that no arrangements have yet
been concluded regarding the restriction
of emigration from Japan to Canada.
After a number of conferences between
Foreign Minister Hayasht and Mr. Le
mieux, the latter, on cabled instructions
from Sir Wilfrid Laurier, agreed to ac
cept a verbal promise that restrictions
would be arranged by the Japanese gov
ernment. The Japanese Foreign Minister
was willing only to make a tentative
promise to that effect, he having reee'ved
word from the British Foreign Office that
an amendment to the Anglo-Japanese
treaty regarding emigration was not con
sidered necessary. With the promise that
steps would be taken to limit the emi
grants from Japap to Canada, Mr. Le
mieux had to be content.
Mr. lshii, who investigated Japanese
conditions in Canada and the United
States, advises that restriction be ar
ranged both regarding emigration to Can
ada and the United States.
Mr. Lemieux gave put the following
statement: "I cannot state at present
the result of negotiations, as any state
ment I have to make belongs to the gov
ernment in Council. I have every reason
to believe a solution of the difficulty will
soon be reached."
Aoki's Last Day.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 6. Japa-
BY ARTHUR A. GREEJNE.
THERE are two prominent American
comedians who have in the recent
years grown dignified. So much so
in fact that they insist on spelling out
their names in full when affectionate
diminutives would serve much better.
They are William Collier and James T.
Powers. The public who knows them,
even though it be ever so remotely,
stammers over these formalities and still
insists ' that it is "Willie" Collier and
"Jimmy" Powers as it was in former
times. The latter is now a lingerer with
in our gates while he disports as the
semidetached British soldier who leads
the band in "The Blue Moon" and con
tributes to the gaiety of nations.
With his infectious smile and winning
personality, Mr. Powers is "Jimmy" on
the stage, but the minute he steps out
of the part he is James with the name
spelled out in capitals. Be It known that
he is a serious-minded person just as
soon as he takes his make-up off. Most
comedians are sad off the stage. It is
their prerogative and no one could
properly begrudge them the privelege for
It is a sad enough calling in all con
science to be a professional funny man.
Powers is closely nearing the veteran
class for he has been a more or less
distinguished member of his profession
for a good many years. The exact age
of the comedian is carefully concealed,
but- it is safe to say that it is some
where between 40 and TO and with such
latitude .the dear reader can take his
nese Ambassador Aoki spent the last
day of his stay In America In visiting
some of his countrymen in Oakland,
and tonight received many friends In
his suite at the Fairmont Hotel. Ad
mittance was denied to all newspaper
men tonight. Viscount Aoki will leave
for Japan on the Manchuria, which
sails tomorrow at 10 o'clock.
Denies Recalling Reserve Men.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. Mr. Mlyaoka,
the Charge of the Japanese Embassy
here, today authorized a formal denial
of a report from Vancouver, B. C, that
the Japanese government is recalling to
Japan the army reserve men now in the
United States.
Mr. Mlyaoka says that such action
could not be taken without the knowledge
of the Embassy here, and there has not
been the least Intimation of any such
purpose on the part of the Japanese gov
ernment. Moreover, a call for the return to Japan
of the reservists would necessarily be
preceded a considerable time by an or
der for the mobilization of the reserves in
Japan, which has not been issued.
Given Heavy Sentence.
EUGENE, Or., Jan. 6. Special.) The
special term of the Circuit Court con
vened here this morning at 9 o'clock.
H. Armstrong and W. H. Haines, the
boys who stole a pair of horses from
Kompp's livery stable at Junction, were
arraigned, the former pleading guilty.
The latter will plead in the morning.
choice. In "The Blue Moon" he is very,
very funny, which is more than can be
said of him in all the many parts he has
played. Away back In the '80s he was
identified with the Hoyt farces and
older theatergoers may perhaps remem
ber him as the humorous plumber In "A
Tin Soldier." Since those days he has
moved up a few pegs and is now rated
among the high-priced musical-comedy
stars. Like most great men, Mr. Powers
is shyer than a debutant concerning his
plans for the future. He' may have de
signs on Shakespeare or Ibsen for all the
vulgar, curious world will ever know.
When he realizes them, however, .we
shall all probably be duly informed.
There is this about his future, however,
that may be taken as a,dead certainty,
he can always find plenty of people ready
to pay the price, even though it be a
high one, to see him do funny stunts in
musical comedy.
Mr. Powers gets out to the Coast once
every three or four years and while his
visits are usually profitable to him, there
was once a notable exception. Years and
years ago, along about the beginning of
time, he bought some town lots in one
f the environs of that dear Seattle and
he has devoted much of his time during
tours to the Northwest in a vain efTort to
know just where in the blue firmament or
the green earth beneath, these -lots lie.
He may have located them by this time
for the worst always happens soon or
late. If he has he is almost a resident
of Seattle, which is the worst thing I
know against Jimmy Powers, star
comedian with "The Blue Moon," at the
Heilfg this afternoon and tonight-
John Lewis, M. L. Banks and Charles
Sharp, accused of holding up and rob
bing David Walker, near Cottage Grove,
pleaded guilty and were given eight
years each in the Penitentiary.
Banker's Son Marries Barmaid.
CHICAGO, Jan. 6. According to a dis
patch received last night from London,
Paul Patten, the 23-year-old son of C. H.

Mrs. Patten Is a remarkable woman,

levy for 1908 at 7.5 mills for county and
state purposes. This will raise a tax of
