14 THE MORNING OREGOXIAN, TUESDAY, MARCH 10. 1908. HEAVY EXPORTS OF WHEAT FDR MARCH Shipments for 'the First Nine Days Exceed 500,000 Bushels. NEW RECORD FOR PERIOD Five Voxels Have Cleared lor Eu rope Each Craft Was Bark Kfggcd and Sailed Cnder the French Flag Marine Notes. The French bark Amiral de Cornulier. Captain Touchot. cleared yesterday after noon with 112.050 buphels of wheat, valued at $tor.w), for Queenstown or Falmouth for orders. Th- vess1 is the fifth craft to clear foreign with prain for the month, and the total nhipments amount to 542.578 bushels. The valuation has been placed at tVK.O-i. and with the exception of the J'Nrre loti all craft have cleared for orders. The Pierre lxti will discharge at I,imerirR. Strange as it may appear, every vessel to get away durlns; the first nine days of the month nan been a bark, and each mailed under the French flag. The Emilie Cat line haa the distinction of clearing for tlie United Kingdom with two cargoes within a period of 11 months. During the first nine days of March a year- ago not a bushel of wheat or a pound oT flour was sent outward from Portland. The first clearance for the month was on the 11th. when the Japan ese suamshlp Manshu Maru got away with wheat and flour for the ' Orient. The Numantia followed several days later with a carso of flour. The first sailing vessel to clear was the French bark Asie, which sot away on the 26th of the month. The total number of sailing vessels for March. 1907. was two. and the steamships numbered five. 'The total wheat exports for the month were nearly 40.000 bushels less than for the first nine days of the present month. At present there are 41,484 tons (net) in the harbor, and a large percentage of this will be dispatched, before the first- of April. Kxports of grain will exceed 2.MV,000 bushels, and like February, March, IVX, will set a mark for foreign exports from the Columbia. STEERAGE RATES ARE CCT Third-Class Fare to San Francisco , Reduced to $5. Steerage passenger rates to San Francisco on steamers of the San Fran cisco & Portland . Steamship Company have been reduced to J5. Beginning with the sailing of the steamship Rose City next Friday afternoon the rates will stand a follows: Cabin, $15; sec ond class. $10; steerage, $a. Hereto fore the boats of the old line have not carried second-class passengers, and the rates have been the same for cabin passengers and $10 for the steerage. The change was Inaugurated with a vit'W of gathering Jn the second-class hup in ess now being handled by the Ptcani schooners operating out of the Columbia River. The lumber carriers have been taking passengers for con siderably less than the rate charged by the regular passenger boats. The vessels of the North Pacific Steamship Company, the Roanoke and Elder, have always maintained an intermediate rate and the schedule to Saji Francisco is as follows: Cabin, $15; second class, $12: steerage. $10. A large number of the steam schoon ers are tied up at the present time on Hi-count of the strike of the marine en gineers. Passengers seeking cheap rate to California ports have taxed the capai ity of the craft in operation and the management of the Harriman line decided to make a sweeping cut in the third-class rate, with a view of obtaining the business. Regular line steamers operating be tween Portland and points in California have been carrying a less number of passengers than the steam schooners. The regular boats operate on a fixed schedule and the schooners run at large and sail at any time that meets with the cargo situation. Passengers rnunt make arrangements accordingly, but the saving of a few dollars has been the principal factor In filling them up. ff A l ES II. I) FAY SOX R ES IG X S 1 ,ocn I A jrc nt of Sa n Fr a ncl sco and Portland Une leaves Position. James H. Dewson. agent of the San Francisco & Portland Steamship Com pany and the Portland & Asiatic Steam ship Company, has resigned from the Harriman service and will spend several months In the East on a pleasure trip. Mr. lVwson has been associated with the steamship lines of the Harriman Inter ests for the past four years and has not had a vacation during that time.

He also took com mand of the business of the Portland & Aiatic Steamship Company. J.

Pilot In man Xot to Blame. Captain Charles Miller, master of the steamer Yakima, which was wrecked At I.ittl Cioose Island, on the Snake River, was In Portland yesterday. Cap tain M tl ler desires to correct the im pression that the loss of the vessel was due to Pilot In man. Captain Miller said that he was at the wheel at the time and the accident was due to the fact that the boat was too hnavily loaded. The damage was not serious and the boat will be again in commission by the first of the month. Sue. H. Flinore Sails Toni&ht. The steamship Sue H.

DAMAGES SET AT $12,670 Judge Wolverton Hands Down De cision in Favor of Government and Case Will Probably Go to the Supreme Court. By a decision of Judge Wolverton in the United States Court yesterday, the Government was awarded $12,670.90 damages against the port of Portland as the result of a collision between the dredge Columbia and the United States lighthouse' tender Manzanita near Westport on the night of October 6. 1905. Responsibility for the colli sion was fixed on the crew of the Co lumbia, owned by the Port of Portland. The case, in all probability, will be ap pealed to the United States Supreme Court. At the time of the accident the Manzanita was en route to ' Astoria, headed down stream, while the Colum bia, in charge of a tug and a towboat, was being piloted up stream. The col lision occurred about 7 P. M. After dis cussing at considerable length the probable position of the two boats at the time of tne collision and reviewing the testimony of a number of the most important witnesses, in which the court admitted there was much conflicting evidence, the decision passes on the re sponsibility for the accident In the fol lowing terms: It is manifest that the fault of the tug and tow in attempting to navigate the river in the night time, without running lights and without constant lookoutm upon the tow. with the cutter of the tow extending 30 feet in front of her. lowered beneath the surface of the water, and In utterly falling to rec ognize or reply In some way to the signal of the Mansanita so as to apprise her of their action and intentions, was very gross: and the burden being imposed upon the respondent to ehow that the Manzanita was aleo a con tributing factor to the casualty in order to an apportionment of damages. It is required to make out such a state of the case by clear and convincing proof. I cannot say that the respondent has done this, and therefore I conclude that it should be required to bear the entire burden of damages arising from the collision. The Government did not receive judgment for all of the expense Items that were enumerated In Its bill of complaint. The claims of the men on the Manzanita for salary during the months of October, November and De cember, together with all items cov ering the subsistence of the crew for those months was disallowed. Among the amounts inctuded in the award of damages were the following! Repairing the Manzanita's hull, $1327; labor in cleaning and overhauling the damaged boat. $1653.60: loss of cloth ing and personal effects of the men, $1635.55. By the decision the Govern ment is entitled to recover Interest at the rate of 6 per cent rom the date of the accident, October 6, 1905. FRAUD IX IRRIGATION COXCERX Court Rules for State Against Three Sisters Company. Declaring that fraud and deception had been practiced by the officers of the company. Judge Wolverton, in the United States Circuit Court, yesterday overruled the demurrer to the com plaint in the suit of the State of Ore gon against the Three Sisters Irriga tion Company et a!., for the cancella tion of a contract for the reclamation of about 27,000 acres in Crook County. The court also sustained the applica tion of the state for the appointment of a receiver for the company. The offi cer probably will be appointed In court today. ( Several months ago the state filed a suit against the irrigation company to cancel a contract for the reclamation of a tract of about 27,000 acres in Crook County. The contract was writ ten in 19u2 and the state alleged that the terms of the agreement had not been lived up to by the contracting company. The defendant company filed a demurrer to this complaint. In dismissing the demurrer. Judge Wolverton held that through misrepre sentation. W. A. Laidlaw, secretary, and L D. Weist. civil engineer and sur veyor for the company, secured the contract from the State Land Board, which was afterwards induced to se cure from the Government patent to about 11.000 acres for the company. The court decided that the company falled to reclaim more than 2000 acres, while the maximum flow of water available for reclaiming the tract never exceeded 1S5 cubic feet, although the company represented that the flow amounted to 2746 cubic feet. In its demurrer the defendant company main tained that the state did not have the right to cancel the contract On this point the court said: By a fraud which is adequately alleged that state has been induced to acquire patent to a large tract of land, the greater portion of which the defendant cannot reclaim. This land it holds in trust for the general Govern ment and the Individual setllera and It has such an Interest therein that it ought to be permitted to dleincumber Itself of the fraudu lent contract and to enter into Another. If need be. to redeem its obligations to these beneficiaries. HOMESTEAD LISTED AS ASSET Exempt Only as Family Home Under Bankruptcy Law. Residence on a homestead by a family, consisting of two or more persons, is required if the premises are to be ex empted as an asset under the bankruptcy laws. This was the decision of Judge Wolverton in the United States Court In the case of Henry C. Gardner, a bank rupt, who contended that his homestead at Drain could not be included as an asset in liquidating his debts under the bankruptcy law. Judge Wolverton held that since only the bankrupt himself had resided on the homestead, he cannot declare it exempt from the bankrupt taws. "Although such premises may still constitute his dwell ing place or place of abode." said the court, "yet he cannot claim them exempt for the reason that he alone does not constitlte a family." R. A. Marshall Bankrupt. R. A. Marshall, a cement contractor of this city, yesterday filed a petition in voluntary bankruptcy in the United States Court. He reports liabilities amounting to 13b.6S4.S5. including unsecured claims aggregating $19,931.95. His assets ag gregate $53,279.16, the largest Item of which is unliquidated claims amounting to $.550.. Weekly Concert for Seamen.

Church, con fessed In the Municipal Court yesterday that he had been somewhat at fault In his judgment of human nature when he selected two modest young convicts from the county rockpile, several weeks ago and set about effecting their reformation. Dr. Wilson advanced the theory that with pleasant and useful labor to perform the youths would become regenerated and give no further thought to the subject of wrongdoing. - Both were known as hard ened, thieves and the authorities had doubts but showed a willingness to let the pastor try his skill. Dr. Wilson's mission , in court yesterday forenoon was not to plead in behalf of his erstwhile wards, but to seek their conviction for stealing the tools he supplied them with. In this he was successful, Robert Fitz simmons. aged 22, being sent back to the rockpile for 12 months and C. F. Knause. aged 23. getting a term of ten months at rockbreaking. And all because they ex ploded the pastor's reformation theories The General Demand cf the Well-informed of the World has always been for a simple, pleasant and efficient liquid laxative remedv of known value; a laxative which physi cians could sanction for family uss because its component parts are known to them to be wholesome and truly beneficial im effect, acceptable to the system and gentle, yet prompt, in action. In supplying that demand" with its excellent combination . of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for its remarkable success. That la one of many reasons why Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given the preference by the Well informed. To get its beneficial effects always buy the genuine manufac tured by the California Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle.
