TRANS-PACIFIC RUN FAST Oriental Liner Reaches San Fran cisco Prom Yokohama In Just SC Days Cargo of Sulphur, Merchandise and Tea. It lacked but a few moments of being IS hours that the Oriental liner Henrik Ibsen had beea on the way from Astoria, whrn she berthed at Albers dock No. 1 shortly before 5 o'clock last evening. Tne boat u delayed Wednesday night by toe encountered after but Is mllea bad been covered. The big carrier's run from Yokohama was made In extremes of weather, ac cording to Captain Smith, who said that during the days en rout to San Fran cisco conditions were ideal, while they were not dlsarreeahle from the Golden Gate to the Columbia, but In tha river one of the Winter's worst blankets of fog made navigation impossible. The Ibsen has 30o tons of cargo. Includ ing sulphur, merchandise, consignments of tea going overland and general cargo. Iter sailing date has been Used for Jan uary U. and the discharging will begin this morning at 7 o'clock. A full load for the return will be mostly wheat and flour. Only one mishap Is reported on the round voyage, and that took place off the Golden Gate, m hen the cargo booms were being prepared forward. The Chi nese boatswain permitted one to fall on decs, breaking It. Captain Smith pro poses to purchase a suitable stick here and hare the crew fashion It Into a boom. The cabin floor is of Japanese oak. a Tuletlde gift of the Paclnc Hardwood Manufacturing Company. The stateroom, offset by an enameled bed. contains a clothes chest built by the skipper, who fashioned a rack so that all garments can be pulled Into new. while on the bottom Is a rack for shoes that also slides the full length and any pair can be selected without disturbing the others. In the main cabin a leather upholstered settee, bookcase and other conveniences have been ad. led by Captain Smith, at times aided by the carpenter, while a hardwood desk and a B replace complete tha new gear. CONTRACT MAY BE AWARDED ir Sana Yak's Damage) Is Heavy Rid Will B Asked. That bids will be railed for If the J na. sustained by the steamer Shna Tak let found material, was given out yesterday by Captain Albert Crowe, sur veyor for the San Francisco marine underwriters, who is in charge of the work. For that reason the vessel may be twice lifted on drydork. She will go on the plan of the Oregon ' Drydock Company tomorrow and her hull Is to be examined. Captain Crowe saya that If the work la light It will be per formed at once, but If It give promise of Involving considerable time and money proposals will be prepared and tenders solicited. The work of discharging the vessel Is going ahead steadily and It Is not doubted but that the last exlck of cargo will be on the dock tonight. Expense of dock ing her for preliminary examination, says Csptatn Crowe, will be born by the underwriters and It Is estimated that but one diy'a dues will be shouldered. With the barkentlne Jane I Stanford, steamer Shoshone and eeamer Shna Tak repaired here In a few weeks the under writer are spending considerable njoney, as towlrg ar.d the use of wrecking pumps on tuKs Is Included In their bills, to the frequency of accidents In northern waters mayhap caused a retrenchment policy. INPIAE DAMAGES HER WnEEL Boat Grounds in Lewis 'River bat floats Soon and Proceeds. During yesterday morning's dense fog on the lower river the steamer UnUlne. of the Kamm fleet, attempted a short overland Journey a fourth of a ml. from the mouth of Lewis River, while en route to Portland, and sus tained broken pillar blocks and slight damage to her wheel. She bad beea in commission two days, having re placed the Mascot, which was tied np to undergo machinery repairs. The accident occurred about C:li o'clock and soon after the Cndlne floated and proceeded here under ber own steam. It appears that she swung toward tue bank while backing, and her wheel "walked on land a short distance. The steamer Joseph Kellogg looked after the business of the Cn dlne on the way here and the Mascot will resume operations today. The Cndlne is used as a utility Teasel, spending most of ber time moored at Taylor-street dock, and she has proved valuable In emergencies. Repairs will be made, roc jiolds rp rxsPEcnox Heather Will Make Second Attempt Today to Reach Lights, Impenetrable fog found on the Wil lamette below Swan Island yesterday baited an Inspection trip of Commander KUlcott. of the Seventeenth Lighthouse District, and be will make another at tempt today to reach light stations scattered along the lower reaches. The tender Heather left port shortly before noon and was back at S o'clock, as It was found Impracticable to continue the Journey. The trip afforded an opportunity to test the Heathers new wheel and ma chinery that had been repaired and all was found to work satisfactorily. To day she will take a pilot and after the inspection of lights Commander F.Ilicott win leave her at Coble and re turn, while the vessel will proceed to Astoria, carrying refilled gas buoys.

Coming to arrange for Increased shipments of lumber to Hongkong. T. W. Kydd. a widely known Importer of the Orient. Is due In Portland to morrow via Seattle, having embarked on the Japanese steamer Awa Miru. Mr. Kydd was In the city during last Summer and placed orders for lumber, whb-h have been forwarded on vessels of the Portland Asiatic Steamship Company, but It is understood that the Hongkong market Is In healthy con dition for that business and the new season promises to show a big gain. At other points In the Far East lum- ber exporters report stagnant -markets, particularly In North China and in Japan, as large stocks were floated there In ItlO and they have not moved as readily as anticipated. During the Kail and Winter periods the Harrlman vessels usually have all the wheat ana flour that can be handled, but In the late Spring and Summer months the trade falls off to an extent that makes lumber business desirable. One feat ure not relished by the steamship In terests Is the 7 rate applying to all ports, as decided at the laat meeting of the various lines, because no more ts obtainable for delivery at Hong kong and Manila than can be secured for Tokahama business, which Is tne first port touched. Salt Cannot Go to China. Lying on Alnsworth dock is a sack or salt destined for China, which can not be shipped owing to a Celestial edict that salt la not to be admitted to the Imperial territory.

Dock Properties Repaired. Work on the Davis-street dock hav ing been finished by Allen & Lewis, which has resulted In the lower dock being made available for freight from the harbor line to the rear of Front street buildings, the owners have turned their attention to Couch-street dock, along the face of which new piling has been driven, and the upper roadway from Front street la being reconstructed.

MANY OBSTACLES EXIST Meeting; of Seed Enthnsiasts Is Held and Possibilities or State to Pro duce Article for Manufac ture Are Discussed. Action designed to result In the es tablishment of a textile manufacturing plant in Portland was taken at a meet ing of flax culture enthusiasts held in the convention hall of the Portland Com mercial Club yesterday afternoon. Dr. J. R. Wetherbee. Dr. E. A. Pierce, Dan McAllen. Wallace Nash and James Craig were appointed a committee to in vestigate the possibilities of the Wil lamette Valley as a flax-producing region and to Interest local capital in the for mation of a manufacturing company. Among those present at the meeting were William McMurray, Mrs. W. P. Lord, Eugene Boaee, Wallace Nash. Dr. Wetherbee. Dr. Pierce, Dan McAllen. F. W. Robinson. James Craig. H. E. Louns bury, Dan McKeown and Leslie Butler. Mrs. Lord recounted the efforts of the Oregon Women's Flax Association to arouse Interest in the raising and man ufacturing of flax in this state. Through the efforts of this association, she said. It ham been clearly demonstrated that flax superior to that produced In any other part of the world can be raised in Oregon. E. It Harrlman had once, she said, at her solicitation sent two ex perts to the state to investigate the possibilities of flax culture and had ad vised the formation of a manufacturing company in which he offered to take from 175,000 to 1100,000 worth of stock. Investment Is Blocked. At another time, she said. Dr. Dlemel. of Alx-Ia-Chapelle, head of one of the largest textile manufacturing plants in the world, had completed arrangements to Invest S3.000.000 In the establishment of a manufacturing plant In Oregon. He was discouraged by Eastern American manufacturers, who declared that they tntended occupying the Oregon Held. Speaking of the discouragement of Dr. Dlemel, Mrs. Lord said that the Eastern manufacturers bad engaged Mr. Boese and had released him from service by the payment of a year's salary, when It became evident that Dr. Diemel bad been driven from the field. Mr. Bosse baa a large flax farm near Salem, and It was largely at the expense of a relative of Mrs. Lord, resident in the Hawaiian Ialands, that be bad con tinued bis educational work among the farmers of the state. Mrs. Lord said that Mr. Bosse now haa 10.000 acres pledged for flax culture. If a plant to manufacture linens Is established. She estimated that the establishment of such a plant would necessitate an Initial In vestment of 1100.000. The use of a ret ting machine, recently invented would. she explained, permit of the purchase of the straw from the growers and Its separation from the fiber at the plant. Growing Is Discouraged. Mr. Bosse said that it has been the policy of linen manufacturers of Mas sachusetts and other Atlantlo seaboard states to discourage the growing of flax In Oregon, fearing that If It were en couraged manufacturing plants which they could not control would spring up here. In line with this policy they have, be said, refused to purchase the fiber of Oregon-grown flax, preferring to Im port from Europe at ti a ton and pay 2 cents a pound duty. Mr. Bosse said that flax containing 35 per cent fiber can be produced In this state for 14 cents a pound. Mrs. Lord called attention to the fact that the duty on fine linens coming Into the United States Is heavy, as it Is also on the fiber. She drew a vlvld word picture of the possibilities of growing and manufacturing It In this sta'te, con tending that other manufacturers could not possibly enter Into competition for the trade of the Western and North western states. William McMurray predicted that If the Industry ever got under way Port land would In 20 years or so become a greater linen manufacturing center than Belfast, Ireland.. Mill Most Be in Oregon. In the course of the discussion it was brought out that flax takes a great deal of nutriment from the ground and con sequently must not be sown more than once In each four or five years, that It will net the producer In the neighbor hood of 340 an acre and that the amount now produced In the state Is not suf ficient to admit of Its being classed as an Oregon product. Mr. Bosse and Mrs. Lord explained that the mill must be established In this state If the Industry Is to be built up, as the Eastern manu facturers will not purchase the fiber, and freight rates are too high to per mit It being produced at a profit even If tbey would purchase It at the same rates paid for European fiber. Wallace Nash said that he had taken some of the Oregon fiber to Belfast, Ireland, and Belgian manufacturers, back In 1379 and that they had pronounced It the best in the world. An attempt was made at that time, he told his audi tors, to promote the flax Industry in the Willamette Valley, but the discour agements proved too great, Mrs. Lord and Mr. Bosse said that 2000 acres In flax each year In Oregon would be sufficient to keep a small plant In operation. This plant, they con tended, would serve to show the possi bilities of flax production and manufac ture and be the entering wedge of an Industry certain to later grow. Mrs. Lord said that the fl axe. rowers of North ern Ireland now have their eyes on this state and that If the Industry were given Impetus these people, skilled In flax culture, would flock to Oregon. C. C. Chapman, manager of the promo tion bureau of tbe Commercial Club, suggested that experienced flaxgrowera and linen manufacturers be Invited to .THERS 17- event, in order that her health be preserved for future years.

Since tbe first announcement was made by the local district office of the Forest Service of the plan to conduct experi ments in the growing of Eastern bard woods in the Pacific Northwest consider able Interest has been manifested by the public. Some writers have argued that the climate of the Pacific Northwest Is not suited to these species and that It Is useless even to experiment with them. Whether or not such species as black walnut, red oak and sbagbark hickory, which it Is the plan of tbe Forest Serv ice to experiment with, are adapted to the climate of the Pacific Northwest, is, a question, and while a comparison of the weather recordj of this region with those of the region where hardwoods occur naturally will throw some light upon the subject, a final answer cannot be given except by growing the trees themselves. The region selected by the Forest Serv ice, officials for these experiments Is along the coast of Oregon, a few miles south of Tillamook. A comparison of the climatic records of this region with those from which the seed used was obtained. Northern Arkansas and Illinois, shows that the temperature here never falls so low or rises so blgh as in the natural range of these species, and that the an nual rainfall is considerably greater. Moreover the shortage of rainfall during tbe Summer monXhs which occurs here to some extent, as it does throughout the Pacific Northwest, Is not considered to be so great as to preclude the growth of the hardwoods. The situation is therefore considered favorable to the success of the ex periment. There Is no Intention to try any ex tensive reforestation of burned-over areas until a long enough time has elapsed to afford a basis for determining their fitness. At the best these hard woods are of much slower growth than the native species and it will be many years before they become large enough for commercial use. The hickory, because of its use in the trade In small sizes, may perhaps produce some return at the end of 50 years, but the other species cannot be expected to produce Umber short of 75 or 100 years. For reforesting the large burns, which occur In the moun talnou,s region of the National forests; coniferous species only are used.' WATER SUPPLY IS AMPLE Xew Main Across Willamette In sures West Side From Fire. Laying of the first water pipe across the Willamette River below the proposed 30-foot channel mark has been completed, and as this Is the third pipe laid across the river, the West Side of the city is now protected against accidental loss of Its water supply. The first pipe laid across the Willam ette River was In 1S4. when a 28-Inch pipe waa laid. In 1S98 the second pipe, U Inches In diameter was laid beside It, connecting with Mill street on the West Side. The" talk of lowering the channel of the tiver to 30 feet prompted the Water Board to lay the new pipe, that It might carry the West Side supply, while the other two mains are being lowered. Although the new pipe Is much larger than either of the two former pipes, it will not materially increase the West Side water supply, as It uses the same pipe connections on the Bast and West Sides as are used by the other two pipes, although It does not cross the river at the same point. The new pipe leaves the 32-Inch conduit at East Third and Stevens streets, and goes north on East Third , to East Clay street, which it follows to ' the river. Emerging from the river at the foot of Clay street, the line turns south again on Front street and connects with tho Mill-street mains at Front and i Mill streets. A preliminary test has been given the ' pipe which shows that it can withstand a pressure ,of 140 pounds. The official tests will be made later and the final , acceptance will not be until arter tne pipe has been used three months. The pipe was laid by Robert Wakefield. PERSONALMENTION. W. G.

Trial Package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Free. The world is full of disordered stom achs and 90 per cent of the money spent upon physicians and drugs goes In an attempt to cure the stomach. People are made to believe that in order to gain health they must doctor their stomachs and use cathartics. So the doctor gets his fee for the stomach treatment and the druggist for the physic, until the savings of a life time are exhausted and yet no cure. Let's be reasonable. The sick stomach Is In every case the result of over-eating, hurried mas tication and improper choice of foods. The muoous lining all the way down the food tract loses Its sensitiveness, and when food Is forced down the muscles fall to respond. They do not churn the food as they should. The glands no longer give out gastrio Juice to dissolve the food and render it capable or assimilation. The man has become a dyspeptic. There is one sure way and only one to bring positive relief. Put into that stomach of yours the very elements that it lacks to get that food into liquid form. It takes pepsin, diastase, golden seal and other ferments to accomplish this. The healthy stomach contains these elements. The dyspeptic stomach lacks part or all of them. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet Is made up of Just what the dyspeptic stomach lacks nature's digestives. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not a medicine, not a drug, not a cathartic. They do not cure anybody of anything but Dyspepsia and Indigestion and such ailments as arise from poorly digested food. While they digest the food the stom ach recuperates. The mucous mem brane is coming out of its stupor, the gastric Juice is coming to the surface, the muscles are regaining their power. Every organ of the body takes on new life, the skin gains color, and the eyes are no longer tinged with yellow. You live. Why doctor and why drug yourself? Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will take care of your food while Nature cures you. Try a box at your druggists, E0 cents.
