Newspaper Page TextTHE MORXIXG OREGOXIAX, SATURDAY, MAY 23, 1908. 16 ROCHAMBEAU PUT OH EN ROUTE UST French Bark Chartered . to Carry General Cargo to Load at Leith. IN TO BALFOUR-GUTHRIE Crop Reports From the Interior Will Affect the Charters for Both Old and New Crop French Bark Bene on the Portland Iilst. Balfour, Guthrie & Co. have chartered the French bark Rochambeau to load general carp, at Leith for the Columbia River. The vessel is now on the other Bide and will be placed on berth immed iately. She will be due in Portland in October and will take outward grain from the Northwest. The charter of the Rochambeau brings the total tonnage enroute for the river to weU past the 55.000-ton mark. Only a small part of this is for old crop load ing and with recent reports from the In terior regarding the wheat situation, it is probable that charters for all the re maining crop, as well as a considerable number for new crop, will be reported within the next two weens. The French bark Reno, now enroute from Shields to San Francisco, has been placed on the list of vessels which have been chartered out with wheat from the Northwest. The Rene has the option of Puget Sound, but will probably not take advantage of that clause. Glrvin & Eyre hold the charter on the Rene. Kerr, Glfford & Co .will load the Ital ian bark Emanuele Accme, which will arrive Wednesday. She will take a full cargo of grain for the United Kingdom. The Rene was takAi for less than union rates.

The largest steam whistle ever con structed for an inland steam vessel Is on exhibition in a Washington-street show window. The whistle was built expressly for the rhaver Transportation Company and will be placed on the new steamer Shaver, which will be launched from the Portland shipyards about July 1. The whistle has three chimes and is made of bronze. From the valve to the top of the largest pipe Is four feet eight Inches and from the Lase to the top of the center cylinder s two feet ten Inches. The other two cylinders are two ; feet one and one-half inches and one foot nine and one-half inches, respectively. The steam pressure under which the whistle will be operated will be 200 pounds to the square inch. IiArXCH INSPECTION TODAY United States Inspectors Will Sur vey Private Motor-Boats. Assistant Inspectors of Hulls and Boilers Amos and Welden will appear at the foot of Washington street this morn ing and will Inspect all gasoline launches which will operate for hire during the ensuing year. A similar Inspection will be held on Monday and Wednesday morn ings of next week. Boathouses where launches are owned will be visited sep arately. The Inspection is made in accordance with the recent orders of the Depart mcnt of Commerce and Labor. Captain John Bermlngham, Supervising Inspector. who arrived in Portland last week, has preceded the fleet to all ports on the Coast, and has conferred with local in spectors regarding the regulation of gaso- , line launches carrying passengers for hire. A certificate will be issued to each motorboat operator and customs officials will be on-duty at each landing stage in order t6 see that the regula tions are adhered to. Statements have been compiled by the Portland National Banks that show the local institutions to be in splendid condition- Reserves are large, in some cases as high as 61 per cent of the total deposits. As the law requires a reserve of only 25 per cent, this is a splendid showing. At the last call of the Controller for a statement of the condition of the National Banks of the country, deposits in the three local National Banks aggregated $22,042,505.70. The total on May 14 was 121.388.421.28. The falling off Is accounted for by the fact that depositors have been drawing against their balances to some extent during the past few months, while the new policy of the First National in refusing to pay interest on any deposits what ever has lost 1,642,037.16. The Merchants National Bank has gained $19.4,84 7.83 In deposits. Through an error the table printed yesterday stated that the deposits had decreased instead of Increased. The correct table is run below. Little new business Is coming In at present, but confidence Is expressed In the big reserves held by the'Portland banks and the most satisfactory condition shown by the latest statement.

'Reports from Puget Sound are to the effect that the rate war between the Can adian Pacific and the International Nav igation Company, of Seattle, for the pas senger business between Seattle and Vic toria is continuing with increased bitter ness. The fare between the points has been reduced to 25 cents each way and the rival boats conduct races almost daily. But the Canadian Pacific appears to have the better of the fight, the com pany's palatial steamer "Princess Vic toria" carrying 1630 passengers last Sun day against about half that number by the -opposition boat.

The entries, so far received, have been from Portland, Astoria, Linnton, Rainier and several smaller towns along the lower river.

M. ENTIN. SOME ancient Bage whose name I have forgotten remarks that all good things of life vanish too soon, never to be" repeated. This is also true of the third and last concert this season of the Portland Symphony Orchestra, which took place last night at the Heilig theater, under the direction of Charles Dierke, the as sisting sololstsbelng Madame Mar quardt, harpist, and "our own" Arthur Alexander, tenor. It would he dif ficult to bring together once more such a trinity of talent, and that's what the big audience undoubtedly thought, for encores were numerous and satisfac tion general. Mr. Dierke is gaining in poise and authority with every con cert, and his reading is pleasing the most critical. He has made good. There was quite a wait before Mr. Alex ander appeared. The piano hod to be shifted Just so, and still the audience sat expectant. Then ifi the hero came. Talk about the warmth of a reception to a returned traveler on his native heath! Mr. Alexander had to bow and bow again to rounds of applause before the audience would allow him to sing but it was worth the waiting to listen to that clear, pas sionate, prlmo-tenor voice in Seigmund's love song from Wagner's "Die Walkure." with orchestral accompaniment. Mr. Al exander's voice has grown in volumne and clarity, but the Heilig is too large for it, as yet. He also san far too modestly, and seemed to be afraid to lose himself in the passion of his song.' The artistic finish with which ha Invested everything he sang was a Joy to hear. Has he an artistic future? Most undoubtedly. He's only a "kid' yet, but his voice is grow ing, and we'll hear of him right along in the larger world of music. The two num bers where he sang and played his own piano accompaniments were highly suc cessful, his two encores being "Questa o Quella." from "Rlgoletto" (Verdi), and a serenade by Leoncavallo. Mr. Alexander will give a concert at the end of next month, here, before his return to London. Madame Marquardt, harpist, won suc cess in a new field and she and her $2000 American harp made, a big hit. She is quite an artist and her brilliancy of play Is delightful to hear. Her mastery of such a difflcult-to-play instrument as the hara shows remarkable talent. Her en core was "Song Without Words," by Dubez. Her husband. Johann Marquardt, was special concertmeister. The novelty among orchestral num bers was the march from '"Montezuma." written by Dr. H. J. Stewart, of San Francisco. It is brilliantly spectacular, with fine effects for brasses, especially cymbals, and gives the air of an Orien tal paean of triumph. Schubert's unfinished B minor sym phony was the serious event of the even ing, and received a musicianly rendition. Mr. Palacios conducted the playing of his own "Entre Act" valse, a pretty study in subdued tone. I have no. space left to write in detail of the general or chestral numbers.

The cessation of the rainy period, which now "seems to be at an end, has en abled the builders of the civic "Arch of "Welcome" to begin work of putting: on the staff construction, and while not much progress has been made, the contractors expect to have the arch completed before the - opening day of the Rose Festival. Tlie frame work of the structure has been completed and it will take nearly a week to attach the staff work. If the structure Is to present an inviting appearance at all, the weather will have to clear up so that the staff material can dry. Should there be any more rainy weather, it will be highly problematical whether the arch will be available for use in any of the formal, ceremonies attendant upon the opening; of the week's demonstration.
