STEAMER CHEHALIS GROCXDS
Gets Ont of Grays Harbor In Fog.
Floated on High Tide.
ABERDEEN. Wash.. Sept- 6. (Special.)
While groping her way through a dense
fog this morning, the steamer Chehalis,
from San Francieeo to this city, ran
aground at Damon's Point, a mile north
of the bar. The smoothness of the sea
and soft ground alone saved the vessel.
.Excitement bordering on a. panic imme
diately broke out among the passengers,
who, unable to see 30 feet from the ves
sel's side, and imagining In their fright
that the vessel was sinking, befeeched
the captain to lower the boats. In the
meantime the whistle was sounding sig
nals of distress and an hour or eo later
the Westport life-saving crew and tug
During reached the scene. Owing to the
, fact that the Chehalis was In ballast and
' that the tide was rising, the vessel was
able to pull off and make her way tnto
the harbor this evening. She was dam
aged slightly.

No Alarm, Say Flreboat Officers.
Officers of the flreboat George H. Wil
liams, against whom charges of .slowness
were made in the matter of responding to
the fire on board the steamer Vulcan.
Sunday morning, say that the reason for
the delay was not any lack of vigilance
on the part of the flreboat crew but that
the alarm was not sounded until after

that the flames were beyond control. It
Is asserted by officers of the flreboat that
she was under way within three minutes

' One Cent Advance in Local
Butter Market targe
Receipts in Peaches.
There was no business In new hops In the
Oregon market yesterday and. so far as could
be learned, no trading at any point 'on the
Coast. It was expected there would be some
movement in new California, hops, but a wire
from Santa Fosa said the Southern market
was blocked by the extreme nrmnens of the
few growers who have not contracted their
hops.
Buyers In this state are waiting until they
can see samples. Reports were received from
quite a number of yards that have finished
picking snd nearly all showed a yield lighter
than expected.
That new hops In the bale will sell at sn
advance over contract prices Is indicated by
the rise that has taken place In old hops. A
lot of over,20O bales of Oregon 1908a was sold
yesterday at 18 cents and a 170-bale lot of
1907s at 1 cents. The sales were made by
a dealer.
The foreign news of the day wsas very bull
ish. The most interesting cable came from
Gosslln-Qay, of Stambruges. Belgium, and It
placed the Continental hop crop much lower
than any of the previous estimates. The
cable was received by Isaac -Plneus & Sons,
of Tacoma, and wis as follows:
' "Weather unfavorable for growing crop.
Reduce' estimate to 390.000 ewt. Market ad
vancing rapidly." "
Ironmonger, of London, cables the same
Arm:
"Harvest Is progressing poorly. Crop will
be much smaller than estimated."
A cable from the London office of. Klaber,
Wolf Netter said:
"Weather la favorable. No change In mar
ket." Meyer Dinkle's German cable to Klaber.
Wolf A Netter was as follows:
"Weather unfavorable for crop. Our crop
has grown worse since last letter. Market ad
vancing rapidly and everything offered being
taken."
Plenty of Peaohea on Hand.
Although yesterday was a holiday, the
Front-street fruit Jobbers did a big business
in the forenoon. In addition to fair receipts
of Oregon peaches, five ears of Balways came
from California. The peach market was
about 10 cents a box lower all around ex
cept on fancy Southern Oregon stock. Grapes
sold well at former prices and there was a
good trade In watermelons. Cantaloupes
were In fair demand. Three cars of bananas
were received.
Butter One Cent Higher.
The city creameries raised the price of
batter one cent yesterday, to 35 cents a
pound. The advance was brought about by
the decrease in the supply.
There was but little tradlig In eggs or
poultry. The latter was weak. .
Advances In Provisions.
A new provision price list, effective this
morning, shows advances of half a cent on
bams, bacon, dry salt-cured meats and
some grades of lard.
GRANGE TO - THE FRONT
Suggestion: Former Should Get a
Place on Fraternity Day.
GRESHAM. Or., Sept. 6. (To the Editor.)
In 'yesterday's Oregonlan, I read. with
much Interest the list of representatives
from the fraternal and beneficiary orders,
appointed to take part in the festivities of
Fraternity day at the fair o be held by
the Portland Fair A Livestock Association.
If the association members will permit me
to congratulate them unon their choice of
representatives, many of whom are' personal
acquaintances. I cheerfully wish the affair
all success from start to finish, and espe
Aially In Fraternal day, when the warring
factions of the lodgerooms get together and
forget that each representative thinks his
own order the beM.
But hasn't the association forgot some
thing? Hasn't it ov-rlooked the Orange .one
of me most important of all organizations?
I should like to suggest that the Patrons of
Husbandry have 10 flourishing granges In
Eastern Multnomah with over 120O members.
Among them are numerous men and wom
en who are intellectually able to take a
place on any Fraternal day committee, who
are socially able to appear with the best
of those mentioned, who are financially able
to hold up their end of any necessary ex
pense: and who are Interested to an extent
more than all the others put together In
the efforts of the association to develop
any one or all of the Industries In which
the association Is interested.
While I am sure the association has not
Intended to slight the Orange, yet I believe
It has made a serious mistake in not ac
cording some of Its members a place on the
committee. E. L. THORPE.
