(Continuffl From First Pace.) level, but the demand had lessened. The West Coast ports have a sufflceint quantity for present needs, which has materially lessened the demand. Aus tralia, however, is using more Oregon timber and business in that direction is a trifle more active. Shipments in foreign bottoms for the year 1906-7 amounted to 107,519,16S feet, as com pared with 102,971,515 feet for the year which Just closed. For the last month of the cereal year the exports for June were excep tionally good and amounted to 558,826 bushels. The last vessel of the grain fleet to clear was the British steam ship Madura, which got away Just be fore the closing of the Customs-House yesterday afternoon. The Madura cleared for St. Vincent's for orders and carried 224,009 bushels of wheat. She will leave down this morning. June, 1908, also gets credit for a large quan tity of lumber and upwards of 5 3,000 barrels of flour. Tonnage Sow En Route. The season of 1908-9 will beat the season Just closed by long odds, pro portionately. The en route list now amounts to 81,S6S tons, as compared with 73,498 tons on a corresponding date last year. The chartering of ves sels lias been steadier and the rates have been holding well up and not fluctuating, as was the case last year. Barring unforesoon climatic conditions the crop will be large and exports from Portland will climb close to the 30, 000.000 bushel mark. Coastwise shipments of lumber have fallen down, owing to the slack de mand In San Francisco and partly to the financial situation. Total ship ments for the year amounted to 60. 887,654 feet. Vessels which formerly carried nothing but lumber now take part cargoes of wheat. WILL SEND CARGO TO HAWAII Astoria Shippers Establish Business Relations With Honolulu. ASTORIA, Or., June 30. (Special.) Arrangements were perfected this afternoon by the Chamber of Commerce and Samuel Elmore, through Cook & Co., of Seattle, whereby the American Hawaiian Steamship Company will make Astoria a port of call in the fu ture, and the first of this line of steamers, the Nebraskan, is due to ar rive here tomorrow morning, to take on about 300 tons of general cargo that Is now awaiting her. The Chamber of Commerce has already succeeded in working up a considerable business in Honolulu for products from this port, and Mr. Elmore Is preparing to ship flour and mlllstuff from here to Ha waii and the Orient. The promoters of the project say they will have a much larger cargo ready for shipment on the next steamer, and assert that the new arrangement will be a perma nent one. MJJUASKAX TO ARRIVE TODAY Steamship Will Complete Cargo for Honolulu. The steamship Nebraskan. of the Ha waiian line, is due to arrive in the river today. The vessel sailed from 'Seattle yesterday morning and will take a part cargo from .Portland for Honolulu. For some time it has been announced that the steamship company operating the Nebraskan would make regular calls at Portland for freight but up to the present time there has been some hitch In the proceedings. As the sched ule stands at present one of the steam ers of the line will call at Portland every 30 days. COAST STEAMERS REACH PORT Rose City and Roanoke Arrive From , South. The steamship Rose City arrived from San Francisco yesterday morning with a large list of passengers and all the freight she could handle. The Rose City was several hours behind her schedule being held back by northwest winds. She will sail for the California city Saturday morning. The steamship Roanoke, from San Pedro and way ports, also reached Portland yesterday. She was delayed by the headwinds. The Roanoke also brought a large number of passengers and was full up with freight. Seufert Enters Enemies' Country. ASTORIA. Or.. June 30. (Special.)

Seufert, The Italics canneryman, has made arrange ments with a number of the Independ ent Lower River seiners and trappers for the organization of a company within the coming few weeks, to erect a large cannery on the Lower Columbia and have it ready for operations next season. Life Crushed Out by Stump. ASTORIA. Or., June 30. (Special.)

More new buildings have been started during the first half of the present year than in the corresponding period of 1907. This is considered remarkable when it is realized that during the first six months of last year the city and state, together with the remainder of the whole country, were in the heyday of prosperity and business was so good that It seemed there never would be a let-up. Fewer skyscrapers were started during the year 1908, so far. than in the corre sponding period of 1907. due directly to the slump in all lines of business. But, strange as it may seem, more homes were actually built In this city than during the first six months of 1907 and the balance In favor 'of the first six months of the present year is over 500 permits. These figures show there is nothing panicky about Portland, for unless people have confidence Jn the future' and are sat isfied with their conditions, they do not build homes. The greater part of the buildings erected this year are homes, and the large increase in permits for this class of buildings means that the city is too well intrenched in its industrial position to be adversely affected to any great ex tent by panics that sweep westward from Wall street. Realty Values Steady. The steady price of real estate of all classes in and about the city, despite financial flurries, shows how stable is Portland's prosperity. Figures on file in 'the Building Inspec tor's office show the number of transfers and their value, by months, for the first half of this year and the corresponding months for last year as follows; 1008.

Real estate transfers have not been so numerous during the first half of the cur rent year as was noticed in the earlier months of 1907. However, there is not enough falling off to warrant uneasiness on this score, for demand for property, both business and residence, is somewhat above what might have been expected from the business conditions elsewhere. Figures given in the comparisons with last year are somewhat misleading and do not form an accurate basis for compari son on account of the tendency here on 2. .. -Antwerp .Antwerp . uailao . .Vancouver, B.

However, this is not to be wondered at, considering the timidity of outside capital and the pre vailing tendency of Eastern capitalists to keep their money at home. Very few people in the panic-stricken East are will ing, just now, to venture out on the Pa cific Coast with investments, thinking that conditions here are as bad as they are at home, which is not true. The figures for the first six months of last year represent, of course, months when business of all kinds was at its height. Compared with the present, when a very conservative spirit rules transac tions of all kinds, the totals for the early months of 1908 do not make a favorable showing. However, they are climbing up slowly, and will, before long, doubtless regain their former volume.

Building permits issued by the Build ing Inspector for the month of June were 380 In number and the valuations footed up $833,390. The showing compares closely with that of June 1907, when several big buildings figured in the records. The largest single permit was that of $100,000 to the Pacific Engineering Company, which has the contract for building the warehouse at Weldler's dock, at the foot of Raleigh street, now the property of the Spokane, Portland & Seattle Rail road. This dock is 900 feet long and 170 feet wide and the warehouse will occupy prac tically all of that space. In its con struction 3.500.000 feet of lumber will be used. The building is to be of two floors and will be used for the reception of commodities coming to Portland over the new line. The expectation is to have the warehouse finished by September 1. Manager George Baker was in the Building Inspector's office about clos ing time with plans for contemplated al terations In the Empire Theater, which he estimates will cost $10,000. Inspector Dodfcon has the plans for examination and will probably pass on them today. ' Gets No Damages for Mistake. Jud.ere Cleland. In the Circuit Court yesterday, decided that S. J. Bliss is not entitled to recover $2199.75 from Theo A. Garbade because the word "Addition' was by mistake inserted in ttllss deed to land in Albina Home stead. On November 9, 1906, Bliss says, he purchased Lots 9 and 10, Block 2, Albina Homestead, from Garbade for $1500, and did not discover until he was about to sell the property that, the deed read "Lots 9 and 10, Block 2, Al bina Homestead Addition." The sum prayed for in his complaint included $200 commission which he was obliged to pay a real estate firm for securing a purchaser for the two lots, and $86 ex pended for Lhe improvement of streets. There is a tract known as "Albina Homestead Addition," but it Is not laid off in blocks, so that the decision of the court was that the additional word in the deed does not in this case affect the title. -Marine Xotes of Seattle.

CRATER LUKE RULES New Regulations Issued to Ap ply in Oregon Park. HOW MINERS MAY OPERATE Park Open to Location and AVorking of Mines, But Only Under Certain Well - Defined , Restrictions. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, June 30. The Interior Iepart- ment has issued new rules and regula tions governing the Crater Lake Na tional Park, and has placed their en forcement in the hands of Superin tendent Arant. In the main the regu lations follow the regular form applic able to all National parks. The impor tant new feature of the regulations re lates to the location and working of mining claims. This subject is -dealt with in section 11, which reads as fol lows: Regulates Mining Claims. 11. The act provides that, under such regulations as the. Secretary of the Interior may prescribe, the reservation shall be : open "to the location of mining claims and ; tne working of the same." it was not the : purpose of this provision to extend the min ing laws to the park without limitation. but only to authorize the location and work- 1 ing of mining claims thereon, under regu lations to be prescribed by the Secretary of the Interior, and in such manner as not to interfere with or prejudicially affect the general purpose for which the reservation was established. It is therefore prescribed: . (a) That persons desiring to locate min ing claims within the park shall enroll their names and addresses with the super intendent of the reservation, and shall file with such superintendent a description, in writing, of the land desired to be located. They shall also file with the superintendent evidence that they are severally qualified to make locations under the mining laws, and before entering upon the park for such purpose they must obtain from the Secre tary of the Interior through the superin tendent a written permit to do so. Such permit will be lFsued only upon condition that the applicant or applicants therefor, while upon the reservation, will not destroy or damage any game, flan, timber, or nat ural objects therein, and will strictly ob serve and comply with the requirements of the law and these regulations. b) Lands in the park upon which valu able deposits of mineral shall have been or may be found may be located under the mining laws by any person or persons duly qualified and holding a permit such as is described In the preceding paragraph, and such person or persons, his -or their succes sor or successors in interest, may work the claim or claims so located; but In carrying on the work he or they shall in all respects observe and comply with the provisions of the statute creating the park and with these regulations: Provided, that such, person or persons may. as the proper working of such mining claim or claims snail require, ou permitted to use, for mining purposes. , such timber or stone found upon the land lo cated as in the Judgment of the superin tendent may be so used without injury or damage to the reservation "as a public park or pleasure ground." And provided further, that within 30 days after the location of any mining claim within the park, and be fore development work thereon shall be commenced, a copy of the notice of loca tion shall be filed with the superintendent, together with proof satisfactorily showing that discovery of a valuable mineral de posit has been made within the limits of the location, and, if It be a placer loca tion, that every ten-acre tract embraced therein has been found to contain valuable deposits of mineral. fc) The statute does not authorize the purchase of or the acquisition of the legal title to lands located as mining claims within the nark. The rights of the loca tor or locators, therefore, will be at all times subject to forfeiture upon breach of any of the conditions mentioned in the permit herein provided for, or upon refusal or failure to comply with any of the pro visions of the statute or of these regula tions. (d) Upon breatfh of any such conditions, or upon refusal or failure to comply in all respects with the provisions of the statute and of these regulations, or where locators of mining claims do not appear to be act ing In good faith, or who after location do not work their claims in such manner as to show good faith in the assertion thereof, the superintendent wilt revoke their per mits, forthwith remove them from the park, and report the facts to the Secretary of the Interior. Rules. Are Stringent. The regulations forbid the cutting of timber, except for use on mining claims; prohibit the Injury or destruction of natural curiosities or wonders; prohibit hunting, though persons are permitted to kill dangerous wild beasts when attacked by them. Camping parties- will be per mitted in the park, and may use dead and fallen timber for fuel, in the discretion of the superintendent, but caution is de manded wherever fires are built.
