OCCIDENT MYSTERY ENDS Grounding of Boat in Tsugara Straits, June 1, Proves Trivial Accident, and She Proceeds to Manila Without Delay. What resolved itself for a time into a mystwy, the grounding of the Nor wegian steamer Selja in Tsugara Straits, has at last been explained, througlc a corroboration of the mes sage received by the Merchants Ex change, a survey, was held and a re port mayle that the damage was not sufficiently serious to prevent the Har ' riman ftner proceeding on her way, 'and she was yesterday reported as hav ing reached Hongkong. Officials of the Portland & San Fran cisco Steamship Company were rather dubious pt first, having determined, ac cording 'to their calculations, that the -Pelja could not have been in that posi tion at the time of the mishap, and it was their opinion that the craft in trouble was the Rygja. Yesterday ad vices were received from iloji, stating that the-grounding of the Selja took place June , and not later, as thought, and that she readied Mojl June 2. After a survey she proceeded to Slanlla and discharged lumber, but it was not given in the report of her ar rival at Hongkong just when she left Ihe Philipine port. The Hercules, which arrived here Friday night, will probably finish dis charging today and prepare for an out ward cargo. She will take out princi pally lumber and flour. JJESTROYERS WAXTK1J HERE .Portland May Have Six War Vessels ; .at Anchor in Harbor Xcxt Moath. Six stern-looking mcn-o'-war in the har Xor at a time is an attraction promised Jor July, if the Navy department will grant a further request made by the Chamber of Commerce, that the torpedo boat destroyers Whipple. Hull. Truxton and Hopkins, now on Grays Harbor, be ordered here after July 4. The gui)fcoat Yorktown. which was at Astoria a week, departed for the north Sunday and will remain at Anacortes for Independence day festivities. The "mos quito" fleet is also to take part in ex ercises at Grays Harbor, and a wireless message yesterday received hy Com mander J. M. Ellicott, of the 13th light house district, was to the effect the fleet had no orders for moving after July 4. The department has ordered that the .Yorktown return to the Columbia River and proceed here, and the cruiser Marble head will be in port July 12, 13 and 14, lo it was planned to have the destroyers make the voyage south and join the Sforktown and Marblehead. WINDS DELAYIXG COASTERS Three "Steamers Overdue Eroin the . Sonh, but May Report Today. While, no apprehension is felt that they "Have encountered dangerous weather; there is some speculation along the waterfront on the voyages being made by the steamers P. S. Loop and Cascoe. which have been on the way from San Francisco since June 22, nd tlre; steamer Quinault. which left the following day. The Cascoe and Loop were looked for Eiinday. and the Quinault should have reported inside yesterday, but the prevalence of strong northwest winds Is attributed as the difficulty. The wind ' isk said to have been so strong the past:few days that persons at Sea Bide, who usually enjoy a clear view of passing craft, were unable to distin guish in which direction the coasters were: headed, for the northwest wind carried smoke from the southbound carriers ahead of them. NEW MILL SEEKS CHAXXEL scheme Is to Have Steamers Load in Hardens Slougli for South. Another prospect for increasing the lumber-output of the Columbia River is being investigated by the pilots, and yesterday Captain Emken was given charge of soundings in Haydns Slough, opposite.lcVancouver, where the steamer Ocklahama of the Port of Portland was at work or some time. A largd mill was recently completed there, anil it is dsired that most of the output find its way to Coast mar kets, but,, as the waterway leading to the plant- is a slough and far removed from the main channel, it was found impossible under the conditions to take eteam schooners there. Dredging is being considered, but the soundings showed less than ten feet of water available at low tide. 31ENO FIGHT OUTCOME KXOWX lEdnards and Fuller Get "Sure Thingr;Advlces and Act on Them. Oaptaih E. S. Edwards' and George Fuller, local steamboat inspectors, are reported in the market for all loose change their friends care to intrust with them to place on the Jeffries-Johnson battle, and they, assert a "sure thing" tip has been imparted to .them, but to all ques tions as to who will be winner, silence Is-maintained. The' ouU-ome of the fisticuff has been ascertained by Marcus Talbot, general manager "bf the Alaska-Pacific Steamship Company, and former executive head of The Dalle s. Portland & Astoria. Naviga tion Company, who yesterday sent the Inspectors a wireless from the steamer Buckman. en route from the Sound to Ban Francisco, as follows: "Will meet you at Reno. Bring all -our dough. Got sure thirig.". , Ellicott Oft to South Bend. Having.rcompleted the annual inspection of the North Head and Cape Disappoint- ment light stations, Commander J. M. : Ellicott returned Sunday to the city, but departed again yesterday afternoon for South Bend, to rejoin the tender Heather. rA.fter ending the inspection on Willapa Harbor he will sail for Coos -Bay. SBeaver'WIns Race With President. In a race run by the steamer Beaver, which arrived here yesterady from San Francisco, and the steamer Presi dent of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, bound from San Francisco to Seattle, the Beaver won out. The 4wo steamers began the race when off Cape Mendocino, and finished it near Cape Blanco. For a long time a speed of 16 miles an hour was maintained by the Beaver, and when she left the President astern the -latter changed her course. Beaver May Try for Record. As the steamer Bear of the San Francisco & Portland Steamship Com pany's fleet has been taking all honors in the way of speed and passenger records since being brought around from Newport News, mariners are wagering odds on the Beaver, which ar rived last evening on her second voy age since having her accommodations installed, that she will equal the run of the Bear to the Bay City, which ar rived at 5 o"clock yesterday morning, less than 4 4 hours from Portland. Cap tain Kidston. who was ill and who was succeeded on the first voyage by Cap tain Mason, of the Rose City, is in com mand of the Beaver again. Ibsen Makes Good River Time. For rapid river movement the steamer Henrik Ibsen almost made a record Sat urday for a vessel of her size. She left her dock at 1:30 o'clock and arrived at Astoria at 10 o'clock in the evening. She sailed from Astoria at daybreak yester day morning. The Ibsen carried with her for Oriental ports a cargo valued at S106,- 6TEAMER INTELLIGENCE. Due to Arrive. Name. From Date).

Notice was yesterday given by local Inspectors Edwards and Fuller they will at once begin the relnspection of all ves sels in their district. Regardless of the yearly inspection, the officials will visit craft in their district, comprising Oregon, Idaho, Montana and a portion of Wash ington. Excursion steamers are to be inspected monthly, ferries three times during the year and all passenger steam ers twice. Marine Notes. Lumber was started into the hatches of the Italian ship Ninfa yesterday morning at Prescott. Work in loading the American barken tine Pactolus will begin this morning at the dock of the Standard Box Lum ber Company. Following the arrival today of the steamer Newport from Couquille, she will be discharged and loaded in time to sail Thursday, at 5 o'clock, for the same port.

In tow of the steamer Ocklahama, the schooner Alvena arrived yesterday at St. Helens from San Pedro. The barge Amy Turner began loading ties at Stella for San Francisco. According to an unverified report, the Chilean bark Curzon has been chartered to take a cargo of lumber ft-om the Co lumbia River to a South American port that has not yet been named. With three crews working, it is ex pected the British bark Iverna, which began taking wheat yesterday at Mont gomery No. 2, will finish in time to be included in the June clearances. As successors to Harry Young, who resigned as agent of the North Pacific Steamship Company, W. H. Slusser has been named as district freight agent and Martin J. Higley district passenger agent. The schooner Charles R. Wilson, which drifted ashore May 20 at Point Reyes and sprang a leak as wellas losing her rud der, is to be repaired at the Moore & Scott Iron Works, San Francisco. The cost will be $3375. News has just been received from San Francisco to the effect that the steamer Francis H. Leggett has been chartered to take a cargo of suplies to the Gov ernment military and marine station at Midway Island. Despite reports that steamers are racing in the harbor, it is asserted by Harbormaster Speier that they are not exceeding the limit, as he has reports each morning of the manner in which they go through the bridges. Having finished working cargo here, the steamer Northland left down- last night for Rainier. The steamer Tahoe completed discharging last night at Oak-street dock and departed for Grays Harbor. The Fair Oaks, which arrived up with a cargo of asphalt, will take on lumber here. Movements of Vessels. PORTLAND, June 27.

Calvary Extension Route Has Fine Scenery Xinety Days to Completion. The contract for construction of the first. 24 miles of the extension of the Vnited Railways to Tillamook has been let to Porter Brothers and a large out fit of teams, graders, steam shovels and other Implements and machinery for heavy grading Is being dally rushed to the front. In addition, the United Railways has decided on the final, location of the ex tension to Mount Calvary, West of Port land, and the first grading crews were put to work yesterday. Camps are be ing established arl along the projected route. Under instructions from President Stevens, the road will be rushed to com pletion. It Is estimated by officials of the company that the line will be ready for operation in about 90 days. Since J. J. Hill assumed full control of the United Railways work on a large scale has been the order of the day. The 24-mile contract let to Porter Brothers includes the long tunnel at Cornelius Gap, where construction is progressing so favorably that it is now thought the bore will be completed by January 1. The large bridge over Rock Creek is com pleted and construction trains are now running over it. Bridge Crews at Work. Several bridge crews are at work west of Rock Creek and there are five en gineering camps between the 24th mile post and Tillamook. The work of lo cating and securing the right of way is practically completed. Bids for the work between milepost 24 and Tillamook have already been opened and the contractors are going over the line examining de tails of the work before them. The projected line will be extended from Tillamook to Bay City and its com pletion will give the United Railways Company n 80-mile route between Port laud and the coast. It is expected that the running time of electric trains be tween Portland and the Coast will be not more than two and one-half hours for the through trains. On the Mount Calvary extension the company for weeks has had a force of engineers looking for an available route. The old survey had to be abandoned by reason of the engineering difficulties it presented. The necesssity of allowing for hydraulic removal of the hillsides In North Portland made the original loca tion impracticable. These difficulties were also complicated by the necessity of going through Macleay Park, an Item of serious objection to those who desire to retain the park in all of its natural beauty. Road Has Scenic Beauties. The company concluded, therefore, to seek a more available route to Mount Cal vary, and finally adopted the line from the head of Washington street west ward. This will give the United Rail ways a route which for scenic beauty, it is believed, is unsurpassed. THINGS HUM IN SOUTH TOO BUSY TO THIXK OP WORLD OUTSIDE, SAYS NORTON'. Grants Pass Man Tells of Irrigation Project to Bring Water to 40,000 Acres. "Everybody-is too busy in Southern Oregon to think of what the rest of the world is doing," said H. T. Nor ton, of Grants Pass, at the Imperial Hotei last night. "Things are hum ming down our way, many settlers are coming in and there will be remark able development of that part of the state within the next few years. "The Rogue River Irrigation & Power Company has just let a contract for a project which will irrigate 30.000 acres, although 40,000 acres are contemplated in the entire scheme. The contract calls for water on the Grants Pass dis trict, composed of about 15,000 acres, for the irrigation season of 1911. and water on the Merlin 'district, contain ing about the same acreage, for the season of 1912. "The districts are being settled rapidly and the irrigation ditches mean a transformation of the entire country. In many places there la sufficient sub irrigation to insure good crops and the valleys are also 'productive with out Irrigation. The new system will patch up the bare spots left by na ture, making the whole country a vast field of producing soil. Many of the ranchers who are raising good crops without irrigation will take water to insure against a possible drought and to increase the productiveness of the fertile soil. "Irrigation was not considered feas ible until a local company was organ ized and promoted a system last year. It was a pumping proposition. The contract for the pumping and water was let to the Golden Drift Mining Company and last Summer the water was run down the main street of Grants Pass to show that irrigation was possible. Then high water came, one end of the raining company's dam washed away, the stockholders of the company became involved in litigation among themselves, and no repairs were made. The local irrigation company is now part of the Rogue River Irriga tion & Power Company and will carry the new project through." 400 VETERANS SURVIVING Oregon Cavalrymen at Recent Meet ing Show Few Deaths.

GOOD GRADE OF FRUIT WASHINGTON' PEACHES AND AP PLES XOW IX MARKET. I.ciiions Stiffening Again at Seattle, Butter and Eggs Are Firm. . Wheat One Cent Higher. SEATTLE, Wash., June 27. (Special.) Lemons stiffened again today and the shadow of higher prices Is over the trade. California advices were to the effect that Kastern shipments were being made at $7 and the quality is not rigidly insisted upon. Prices generally ruled steady In all fruits. The berry market remained firm on the strength of a rapidly diminishing crop. A few peaches and apples are finding their way In. but the Wenatchee and Yakima rush will not be fairly on for a week. The stocks so far are of excellent quality, bespeak.j? a good grade of the fruit for the season. The finest new potatoes of the season came into today from I.os Angeles, and were quoted at 1 i cents per pound, against 1 tj cents for the Sacramentos. Receipts ' were ltt cars of fruit, S277 crates of berries and 14O0 miscellaneous packages. Poultry was quiet. Springs were shaky on last week's quotations, but buyers predict a drop of some proportions. Butter and eggs were firm, with a scarcity of local ranch stock. "Wheat was strong at an advance of a cent for bluestem. Barley fell off a trifle. Re ceipts were 50 cars of grain and hay. SAN FRASCISCO QUOTATIONS. Produce Prices Current in the Bajr City 3Irkets.

The Otis Elevator Contagious Blood Poison is the most powerful and destructive of all blood disorders. It corrupts and vitiates the entire circulation and mani fests itself in the most hateful and loathsome symptoms, such as ulcerated mouth and throat, copper-colored spots, and even sores and ulcers on differ ent parts of the body. The poison causes the hair and eyebrows to fall out, and sometimes the finger nails come off and the entire glandular system is attacked. No medicine can cure Contagious Blood Poison which does not rid the circulation of every particle of the insidious virus. The least taint left in the blood will break out afresh, when treatment i3 left off. S. S. S. is the real and certain cure; it goes into the blood and by removing every particle of the poison, and adding rich, healthy qualities to the circulation, forever cures this powerful disease.

FENDER QUESTION LAGS XO SIGX OF" ACTIOX BY COUNCIJTj COMMITTEE. Street Railway Official Vrges in Vain That City Fathers Adopt Some Kind of Fender. The subject of streetcar fendera for use in Portland is evidently to have a Summer vacation. Councilman Lombard, chairman of the special committee on complaints against trolley service, ls off for an outing of at least 30 days" .dura tion, and among other things he will see the Jeffries-Johnson fight at Reno be fore hlg return. In the meantime, the Btreetcars of the city are being operated without any legal fender, according to the declaration of a Circuit Court Judge, uttered In a recent damage decision against the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company. President Josselyn and other officials of the company have urged that some style of life-saver be adopted by the City Council for months, but there have been nothing but tests, with no definite re sults. Mayor Simon has urged the Council to make some decision, but to date the 15 members of that body have not done so. Councilman Devlin declares that it is not the business of the Council to adopt a fender; that it is strictly for the com pany to decide.
