ARABIA TAKES OUT
HUGE FLOUR CARGO
Leaves Down at Daylight With
Shipments Valued at
. $224,792.66.
DEMAND HAS BEEN SLACK
Iarge Stocks Bought After Arrival
of Fleet In Pacific Waters Arc
Xow Running; Ijow Yeddo
Clears for Australia.
La-ion -with 53,425 barrels of flour and a
quantity of general merchandise, the
steamship Arabia, of the Portland &
'Asiatic Steamship line, cleared for Hong
konff ar.d way ports yesterday. The ves
sel -will leave down at daylight this
morning and will cross out on the high
tide this afternoon. The flour cargo on
the Arabia is estimated at $221,703. The
general cargo consists of machinery, elec
trical appliances and provisions. The to
tal value of the cargo Is placed at $224,
752.66. The flour cargo on the Arabia Is the
largest to clear from this port for sev
eral years. In weight it runs In excess
of 5000 tons. The largest cargo was taken
out by the rteamship Algoa, whlchj
cleared three years ago for ports in
Japan and China. The flour market on
the other side has been slack for many
months. The stock Is now running low
and it is necessary for the merchants to
cut. After the arrival of the fleet In
Pacific waters there was a large number
of tramp steamships open for engage
ment. They took charters for less than
the market price and the result was that
lartre ehipnients of flour were made to
Japan and China. Merchants stocked up,
and during the last eight months there
has been little demand.
With 1.045,583 feet of lumber loaded at
Portland and 9fA572 feet loaded at Eu
reka, Cal., the British steamship Yeddo,
Captain Woodficld, cleared for Australian
porta yesterday afternoon. The Yeddo
will leave down at daylight this morn
ing. At San Francisco the Yeddo
will take on board 1000 tons of general
cargo and the "United States mail for
Australia. She is .scheduled to sail from
San Francisco March 12.
TROUBLE OVER ItlGGIXG WORK
Contractors Employ British Sailors
in Place of "Union Men.
Members of th local union, riggers
and liners, are Jn trouble over the
rigging of the American barkentlne
"Wrestler. WhiJs at this port the own
ers desired to install a new foremast.
The topmast and topgallant mast were
replaced. To do the work the con
tractors secured the services of sail
ors from the British ship Glenalvon
and ignored the union. There was no
redress except to appeal to the Immi
gration Bureau, but Inspector Barbour
could take no action without first ap
pealing to the department.
The Wrestler is loading lumber at
the Eastern and Western Mills for the
West Coast. She is owned by Olson &
Mahony, of San Francisco, who, it i3
understood, will offer the vessel for
sale after the delivery of her cargo at
Callao.

NORMAL SCHOOL SITUATION
In Reviewing Which, Writer Scolds
Legislators and Xewspapers.
PORTLAND, March 9. (To the Editor.)
An Interest in the Normal School situation
ln Oregon prompts me to take exception to
the action of the Legislature on this ques
tion. Mr. Geer'a communication In last
Sunday's Oregonlan is misleading and not
based on facts. The writer knows and the
records will show that 90 per cent of our
normal graduates enter the teaching pro
fession, and that a majority remain long
enough to render to the state a service
which repays amply for the expenditure of
money ln their normal training. But even
granting that "there are men all over Ore
gon today, prominent in different professions,
graduates of our normal schools." Is that
any argument for condemning the system?
Does any one bewail the fact that many of
the graduates of our State Agricultural Col
lege who were trained to be farmers at the

state prominent ln different professions? It
Is the business of the state to educate for
citizenship. This is the prime purpose of
the grammar school, the high school and
the stare university. If now and then a
normal graduate should forsake the school
room and fill a prominent place in some
other profession, has there been a waste of
state money ln his education?
Just a few years ago. the governor of
Pennsylvania vetoed a number of bills
which carried appropriations for improve
ments of the normal schools ln his state.
At the same time, millions 'of dollars were
being grafted by state officials in erecting
a new state building. The history of this
scandal is recent and is fresh ln our
memories. An appropriation for normal
schools meant less money for graft- The
state building, and Incidentally this "rake
off." was a necessity. The normal schools
could wait.
The writer has no reason for believing
that there is a dishonest waste of etate
money In Oregon. He is, however, thor
oughly Impressed with the fact that the
Legislature. Just adjourned, appropriated
large sums of money for purposes of far less
importance than the normal schools.
It is not my purpose here to discuss the
value of normal schools. The fact that
every state entitled to any standing what
ever ln an educational way, supports a
normal school system should convince the
average person that the proposition la one
of merit. Neither Is It the purpose to de
fend or expound the work of our three state
normal schools whose existence has been
cut short in the middle of a term and with
out funds to pay salaries of faculties under
contract till June.
This Legislature which worked so stren
uously to save money for the taxpayers by
refusing to support the normal schools, ap
propriated vast sums of money for the in
crease of salaries and for the salaries of new
commissions and offices; for the purchase of
the locks at Oregon City; for the Crater
Lake road: for a scalp bounty, etc. Wo must
have control of our waterways, improved
highways and protection for our sheep from
the ravenous coyote. But. it seemingly mat
ters little what preparations we provide for
the teachers of our boys and girls.
The state is spending thousands of dollars
for an exhibit at the Exposition at Seattle
It is worth while to make a creditable show
ing with other states and to impress visitors
from the East with the advantages and re
sources of Oregon. Commercial clubs and
improvement leagues all over the state are
sending out tons of literature advertising
Oregon. A few days ago. representatives
from one of the strongest and most ener
getic "push" organizations ln our city vis
ited each school in the city and urged the
children to write letters to their friends in
the East "boosting'; Oregon. Should we not
aak them to say nothing of our school avs
tem especially that part of It which trains
teachers for the grammar schools the nor
mal schools?
What Oregon needs most to develor Its
resources is a larger population, and yet our
efforts to secure this will be offset in the
estimation of the better class of settlers
because Oregon has Just taken a step back-

GRANT WAS TRUST
William H. Flett Argues on Be
half of Applicants.
WILL CONTINUE TODAY
Says Clients, "by Offering $40 0 for
Quarter Section, Compiled With
Conditions of Congress and.
Acquired Right to Land.
Applicants for the purchase of the land
in the Oregon & California grant were
given a hearing before United States
Judge "Wolverton in tho Federal Court
yesterday, when argument on the rail
road company's demurrer o the Govern
ment's bill of complaint was continued.
The advocate is William H. Flett. of
Seattle, who had not concluded when
court adjourned for the day. He prob
ably will speak the greater part of today
and will be followed by Tracy Becker,
for the Government, and D. F. Dunne,
of San Francisco, who will conclude the
discussion for the Harriman interests.
Mr. Flett advanced the argument that
that grant was a trust, a contract be
tween the Government and the railroad
company, and that the pending suit was
purely a proceedings in a court of equity
to require the performance of a specific
contract. He contended that his clients,
by tendering the railroad company J400
each for the purchase of a quarter sec
tion of the land, and at the same time
announcing their willingness and inten
tion of going onto the land and establish
ing a residence thereon had complied ln
every sense with the conditions imposed
by Congress in the grant and had ac
quired every right to the land that could
be claimed by those who had taken
physical possession and who, he said,
could be regarded only as trespassers. It
was not necessary, counsel maintained,
that applicants for the land should move
on the land and reside there until the
railroad company had accepted their
tender.
It was denied by Mr. Flett that his
clients were in any sense timber specula
tors, as charged by Mr. Fenton, of coun
sel for the railroad company. Instead,
counsel asserted that these applicants
had not only offered to purchase tracts of
land included in the grant, but also had
made an oath that they were willing to
establish a residence on the lands which
were intended for their own personal
use and benefit and for no one else. It
was insisted by Mr. Flett that in con
struing the grant as passed by Congress
ln 186, the court should not take into
consideration present conditions and tho
Increased value of the property. Had tho
land been sold immediately following the
time tho grant was made, as Congress
intended it should be. said Mr. Flett, it
would have yielded to the railroad com
pany about $32,000 per mile towards the
construction of the proposed railroad for
which the lands were given to the de
fendant corporation.

grazing business. They will be quite
at home, for, owing to its rough and
rugged nature, the major part of
Perthshire is devoted to sheep grazing.
Over a month ago Dysart wrote to
Assistant General Passenger Agent
Scott, of the Harriman lines in Port
land, that Blairgowrie "folk" were so
excited that he thought they might
leave with him. He wished Mr. Scott
to have the party met at New York
on their arrival ou the steamship
Caledonia from Glasgow, with a spe
cial quotation for transportation.
Mr. Scott communicated with New
York, and the party, consisting of 24
people, was duly met at New York and
escorted to the train en route to Ore
gon. Three of the party went to
friends in Washington and one or two
to Idaho, but the balance, consisting of
17 adults and one child, will be ln
Condon ln the course of a few days.
From that point arrangements have
been made to obtain employment for
the party so that they will start life in
their new home under the best of
auspices. Mr. Scott instanced this as a
case of genuine colonist traffic, as
against the tourist traffic sometimes
confused with it.

i was sick, run-down and finally
had to give up work. After trying
a number ot remedies and several phy

up ln despair. I saw Vlnol ad
vertised and decided to try It,
and It has done more good for
me than all other means combined. It
has built me up and restored my
strength until I now feel twenty years

The reason Vinol is bo successful ln
uch cases is because It contains tonic
Iron and all or the strengthening
blood-making and " body-building ele

Vinol Is unexcelled as a strength

Dr. Taylor the
On account of its frightful hideousness
Syphlllls or Contagious Blood Poison is com
monly called the kino; of all venereal dis
eases. It may be either hereditary or con
tracted. Once the system Is tainted with it,
the disease may manifest itself In the form
of scrofula, eczema, rheumatic pains, stiff or
swollen joints, eruptions or copper - cblored
spots on face or body. little ulcers in the
mouth or on the tongue, sore throat, swollen
tonsils, falling out of the hair or eyebrows,
and, finally, a leprous-like decay of the flesh
and bones. If you have any of these or
similar symptoms, you are cordially Invited
to consult mo immediately. If I find your
fears are unfounded, I will quickly unburden
your mind. But if your constitution is in
fected with poisonous virus I will tell you
so frankly and show you how to get rid of
It. My special treatment for Contagious
Blood Poison Is practically the result of my
life work, and is Indorsed by thr best phy
sicians of America and Europe. It contains
no dangerous drugs or injurious medicines
or any kind. It goes to the very bottom of the disease and forces out
every particle of impurity. Soon every sign and symptom of Contagious
Blood Poison disappear completely and forever. The blood, the tissue,
the flesh, the bones and the whole system are cleansed, purified and
restored to perfect health, and the patient prepared anew for duties and
pleasures of life.
Ion't throw this announcement away. Cut it out; put It where you
can find it. and if what I have to say to you today is not of OREAT
Interest, watch for another talk. I will, if you live out of the city, send
you a valuable treatise; and If you can call I will give you in addition
a beautifully engraved chart of the generative organs In three colors.
