SMALL CARGO
STEAMER ARABIA
German Vessel Brings Less
Than 200 Tons of Ori
ental Freight.
TOUCHES SAN FRANCISCO
AH Eastern Freight Is Discharged at
California Fort Gunnies Prln- .
clpal Item lor This City.
"ew9 of Waterfront.
With less than 200 tons of cargo for
Portland and not a pound of Eastern
freight, the steamship Arabia, of the
Portland & Asiatic Steamship Company,
entered . the Customs-house yesterday.
The Portland end of the shipment was
the smallest that has ever been received
at this port. The Arabia sailed from the
Orient with a full cargo. A large por
tion was discharged at Honolulu and the
remainder at San Francisco, barring the
small Quantity for Portland. All East
ern shipments were placed with the rail
lines at San Francisco.
Duties on the amount of stuff delivered
at the Portland dock will amount to
about J2700. Heretofore the duties on a
China boat have run up to approximately
J100.000. In 1907 the Arabia brought to
Portland a single shipment of firecrack
ers on which duty in the sum of J10S.000
was collected.
The action of the Harrlman people In
having the vessels discharge at San
Francisco is a matter which has at
tracted the attention of steamship men
and importers for some time. The Pa
cific Mail steamships are arriving In
fmm the Orient Hunt and It Is not a
shortage in tonnage that has prompted
the action. Facilities ror transferring
'are as ample at this port as In California
mi Fatwn delivery is as rapid. The
'action of the steamship people only de
tracts from the prestige of Portland and
' adds to the revenues received through
1 the San Francisco Customs-house. All
outward cargo, however. Is received at
i Portland and California Is unable to fill
'up the regular liners plying out of the
' ports.
Gunnies formed the principal Item on
the manifest of the Arabia. Of these there
were 159 bales and the tfuty will amount
i t $2500. Two hundred bags of peanuts
'will contribute an additional S2i. Tin,
rsulphur and tea- comprise the remainder
of the cargo, and on these commodities
'there Is no duty.
The complete manifest of the Arabia
follows: For Portland Gunnies, 159
bales: tin. 110 slabs; peanuts. 200 bags;
sulphur, 1129 bags; tea. 75 chests.
1 SII1VET TKIP IS POSTPONED
Pilots Will Not Make Soundings of
Jtiver for Some Time.
Columbia River pilots have postponed
the survey trip to Astoria and soundings
will not be taken until the rush Is over.
The announcement yesterday morning of
the number of steamers which were due
to arrive during the week and of the
number in port forced the abandonment
of the trip.
For several weeks the pilot9 have been
preparing- for the annual survey of the
rivtr between Portland and Astoria. A
fleet of more than 20 steamers will have
to be handled during the week, how
ever, and no one will have time to do the
sounding.

LARGER STOCK RECEIPTS
MORE ACTIVE MARKET IS EX
PECTED THIS WEEK. '
Northwest Continues to Draw-
Heavily on Enst for Its
Supply of Hogs.
More active trading is promised In the
livestock market this week than was the
lAt week- as the movement of stock
to this market will be considerably heavier,
Receipts yesterday were fair to start with,
consisting of 60 cattle and 720 sheep and a
f . w Iambi.
Prices all around were on a comparatively
healthy basis. There was a very good tone
In rattle and this Is expected to continue
because of the strong Eastern demand
Sheep ruled steady and lambs were held at
last week's Quotations. The determination
of the dealers to keen up the distinction
hetween trimmed and untrimmed lambs Is
now generally known throughout the snip
ping dlstrlrts and the good effects of the
move are already apparent. Many growers
have notified the buyers that they will fol
low the practice hereafter.
Hogs are the strongest Item In the live
stock list and assurance is given of firm
prices throughout the remainder of the sea'
nn. Portlnnd. Seattle and Tacoma are get
ting 40 to ,'0 cars of hogs every week fiom
the East, and in addition to this, large
quantities of pickled hams and sides are
being brought here from the East all the
time to be smoked. It Is a matter of sur
nrise to Dackers and dealers why the Ore
gon farmers do not engage more extensively
hog-ralsing wnen trie large proms ot ins
Industry are so apparent. The feeding prob
lem is a slmule one anywhere In tins state,
and that there will be a market for all
that can be raised for a long time to come
Is certain.
The Condon Times says Coe Barnard, Jim
Zaohary. Henry Neel. 1. eland Steiwer and
others shipped five carln;ls of cattle to

by Renolds. who went wtih the shipment,

YOUTHFUL GMG ARRESTED
THREE BOYS ARE ACCUSED OF
BURGLARY.
Seen Entering Second-Hand Store
Which Was Robbed of Guns and
Fishing Tackle.
Richard Dell, Fred Mills and Leroy
KIsor, boys about 12 years old, were
arrested vesterday morning, and
lodged in the County Jail under the
direction of the Juvenile Court. They
nrp npciiaerl n f steallnar several fish-
inir rods. rifles, ammunition, rings,
watchps and oDera glasses from the
second-hand store of Peter Rosumny,
at Front and Madison streets. The
same man conducts another establish
ment at Third and Burnslde streets
and says he has missed articles from
that store which he believes were
stolen by the boys. The youngsters
say. however, that It was another gang
which entered the North Portland
store.
Eight months ago Rosumny first no
tlced that articles were missing. At
that time (200 worth of watches could
not be accounted for. Last Thursday
more articles were taken - from the
store on Burnslde street. The thieves
also entered the Madison-street store.
So the proprietor resolved to watch
the establishment. Renting a room in
the Rheinpfalz hotel, across the street,
he took his position at the upstairs
window, overlookinar the store, and
watched, but in vain. Entering th
store yesterday raorning he was sur
prised to find that the basement had
been entered and some ammunition
taken. Making inquiry he found that
three boys had entered the building
from the Jefferson street side.
The Dollce were notified, and soon
afterward the boys passed the place,
and were identified by thte man who
had seen them the day before. The
plunder -was found cached under the
East approach to the Madison-street
bridge.
Two of the lads have been before
the Juvenile Court before. Leroy
KIsor was sent to the reform school,
and paroled. Richard Dell was once
before Judge Frazer for playing truant.
The boy had been lounging about .a
local vaudeville theater, and gave
the Court a little stage play, getting
down on his knees and begging to be
let off. The probation officers were
referred to by Dell as "blackhearted
scoundrels." The Judge, did not place
much value however on Dell s ability
as a theatrical star.
CITY WILIj NOT HIRE XL'RSE
OR INSPECTORS.
Ways and Means Committee Takes
Position That Expense Would
Be Too Heavy.
There will be no Inspectors o nurse
for the city's public schools during 1908,
as the Ways and Means Committee of
the City Council, In session yesterday
afternoon, turned a deaf ear to the ap
peals of City Health Officer Pohl. who
asked for $900 to carry on that impor
tant work from September to January.
Members of the committee said they
favor such a system of Inspection, and
admitted that it must be had some
time, but pleaded economy and lack of
I unas.
In reply Dr. Pohl told the members
of the committee that It was the best
possible economy to guard the health
of the children and of the city at large
and declared if there had been inspec
tors during the first part of the last
school year, much money that was
spent could have been saved. The out
break of smallpox In the Chapman
school, she said, would have been pre
vented and several hundreds of dollars
saved in that Instance alone. She ex
pressed the opinion that it is the poor
est economy to hold down the budget
to the health department, but said
she realized the weak condition of the
general fund, and would hope for
enough In the 1909 allotment to em
ploy Inspectors and a school nurse.
An item for (2000, to reimburse the
health fund, was recommended. This
is to be used for sick and Indigent pa
tients, who now have to be cared for by
the city, as the hospitals refuse . longer
to care for them without cost as they
did for years.
Dr. Pohl. In a written report and
statement, set forth to the members 0
the committee on ways and means the
great need for better inspection of the
public schools and the urgent call for a
trained nurse, whose duty it shall be to
work with the inspectors and assist
parents in the care of children, espe
cially In the foreign quarters, to pre
vent the spred of contagion and to ex
plain how to treat certain cases, which.
If left uncared for, would work great
havoc.
"I realize the necessity for Inspec
tors In the public schools," said Dr.
Cottel, a member of the Ways, and
Means Committee, "but our general
fund Is so low that we really cannot
now appropriate the amount. needed for
the purpose. I think it is better to
hold' this matter up for a while and
set aside enough the first of the year."
None of the members of the commit
tee took other view of the matter, and
a motion to appropriate only the (2000
for the care of the city's sick, carried.
The schools will therefore go without
expert protection.
