LOCAL SHIPPERS WAITING rnrtlanil Jt Asiatic Company Stand firm bnt Will Hold Mrctlns- to Consider Tran-Pacific Amle Miljlns Situation. I'nmi'ln features ir developing In the oriental rai war precipitated pub ltrly Friday by the Japtnue steam ship, lines lowering the trans-Pacinc tariff all th may (rum one-halt t one third. A r port circulated yesterday had It that I'ueet Sound lines, other than the subsidised Japanese fleets. had Toluntarlly offered Portland ship per s rates In conformity with those applying on carriers flying the Nippon flae. Hut th Portland Asiatic Steamship Company Is apparently standing fast. Oeneral Aaent Itansom said yesterday that no concerted move had been made by the American and Canadian lines to meet the cut that he had been ap prised of. but that It was expected a meeting would be held son to Octer- ntmj. rKl lnaBlir WOtlM he sdOPted to hrl.l the Insurgent Japanese Into line. The liner RycJ U aesured of a full rir at full rates, but the ICcnrlli Ibsen will nrt be In port until April and by that time the rate cutting may have ended. Ili-d action I Fore -limltmcd. One loi-al shipper says that fully a month leu he knew tariffs were being shaded, because lie bid on wheat tor Japan delivery, his figure belnc based on rullni; Quotations for the cereal here with the ocean rate added, and he waa informed by cable that his tender waa II too hlch. It la said that storks of wheat on I'uBt found that are preferred for the Japanese market have rapidly di minished, while in Portland there are several thousand tons of that kind, and with more that could be drawn hurried ly from the country. It Is estimated rouchly that about 10.004 tuna could be moved. Uarr Loral It a tea In riwpcct. But even In the face of ratea yes terday quoted by northern lines. It Is said that the rati local from I'ortland would cut Fronts so that It waa not thought advisable to move the cereal, particularly aa there are prospects for lower rates here with the I'ortland Asiatic and Waterhouse fleets operat-Ina- Marine men regard the rate 'cutting as something that could be made dis astrous for the Japanese If the trans continental rail lines Interested In steamers the Canadian 1'acine. Great Northern and Hartman sysfms would refuse to move transcontinental freight routed via the Nipixn fleets. Without the Eastern consignments the Japanese would suffer In a short time, even though they got full cargoes of Coast shipments so long aa the wbeat and flour demand continues. JI. IIACKIfXP IS CIIARTKRED Another Lumber Cargo Going to Vnltrd Kingdom. Following chartering of the German pc.lp Wllr.elmlne here to load lumber for the 1'ntted Kingdom, and the taking of the British eMp Holt Hill to load on luget Sound, tonnage clcee at bund waa regarded cleared on the Coast. Hut an other carrVr baa been found by the American Trading Company, the German bark II. llackfel.I. which will load lum ber here for London on a rate of ahUtlngm. The llackfeld sailed from Hamburg November it for Honolulu. The fart there la r.o spot grain tonnage Is tot disconcerting to exporters, who continue to refuel to charter on prevail ing market conditions. The Wtlhelrolne waa offered freely for grain, and with no weens. It la believed that the height of the grain export eeason Nut been reached and that ahlle there will be a few straggling ships to close the year, March and April will probably have the largest number of carriers. In March. 11 but one of the rmln fleet cleared and In April there were four. May having one and June none. This year March will get credit for at least three and with the Natad In. there may be four. If the Hf.t -ti steamer k!pton arrives early from A in Franc laco and geta good dispatch there U be a decidedly better sr.oalng. MAXCI1VRIA SHIPMENTS END Japanese Are? Buying Heavily Here Ret-an1 ot Plague. Plague conditions In Manchuria, which brought about a cessation of wheat ship menus, thereby compelling Japan to look elsewhere for Immense stocks are given as the reason for the unusual heavy buying of cereals tn the Pacific North west. It waa declared yesterday In ex porting circles that the plague epidemic waus principally responsible for the situa tion, and not a war scare or the famine In China. It baa been held by tome that the movement of wheat and flour vm not out of the ordinary and that It was rmtural consequence at time when prices were low. To the Japanese was credited a shrewd commercial instinct In taking up stocks when quotations were near the bottom, but late reports seem to explain the problem as originating In the stoppage of Manchurlan wheat stocks. Hurera are endeavoring to gather wbeat In the Interior, where supplies of ronstderaMe site are he!.!, and much fa renorted moving to Pliget Sonnd for Far Eastern delivery. Locally, as much f'.our aa ran be carried is offered. iiirrn estimates keqi-iued .Money May lie Available to Start 30 Koot Clkanncl.

IS Devoid of Thorns It May Be Used in Eastern Oregon. ! LUTHER BURBANK AT WORK Special Representative of O.-W. R. & X. Co. Expects to See "Wlxard" Perfect Plant So It Will Grow for Cattle Here. Prickly pear thorned cactus, devoid of the thorns and retaining the fine flavor and wholesomeness of the desert plant, may be used to redeem the arid region of Eastern Oregon for stock- K..-nn.A. IS the efforts of L.U- ther Burbank. the well-known Califor nia plant wixaru, ana mo cu-oyci of the trafTic department of the O.-W. H. & N. Co. prove successful. A. A. Morse, special reprcst-ntatle of the traffic department, who has charge of the company's agrlcultu-t! experiments in this state, has Just te turned from Santa Koha. Cal.. where he conferred with Mr. Burbank on the progress he has made In his experi ments with the cactua .In the last two years. While he has succredel In de veloping a perfect plant without the obnoxious thorns, that thrives well In r-.nAA.i- . K nni 'ldpn able to .harden It so that It will withst ind the more rigorous Winters ot Oregon. Burbank Is Confident. However, Mr. Burbank Is fully con fident that he can so develop the plant that It will grow with ease In Oregon soil. Mr. Burbank started his experiments with the prickly pear cactus several years ago with the Idea of removing the objectlonal thorn. By previous tests he had learned that the meat of the plant Itself was extremely whole some and nourishing and that It had particularly valuable qualities for sus taining and fattening livestock. His method In bringing about a plant that had no thorns was to remove a small section of "pear" which contained no thorns on the outside and plant it In the ground. As the seed Is contained Inside the "fruit" In the pulp, this small section took root and rapidly sprouted. It contained fewer t'.iorns than the parent plant. Again he re moved a thornless block and planted It. The result was a plant with still fewer thorns. By a series of such practices, he finally developed a plant entirely de void of thorns. Morse Visits "Wizard." Two years ago last Agust about the time that the "wlxard" eliminated thorns the first time Mr. Morse called at the Burbank experimental tract In Santa Rosa. "Will your thornless cactus grow tn Oregon T" Mr. Morse asked. "How cold does It get there?" "Fourteen below Is the coldest." "No. It won't grow In a place colder than 18 above.- Come back In four years and I'll give you one that will." Although the four year period has not yet expired. Mr. Morse felt tempted to call upon Mr. Burbank when he was In California Inst week In charge of a special excursion of Tacoma tourists. The "wizard" admitted that his experi ments to produce a hardier cactua had not succeeded In the wsy that he ex pected they would, yet he has not driven up. He will continue. his tests and be lieves that when the four years rj up he will be able to deliver to Oregon a perfected plant that will thrive any where In the state at all seasons of the year. When once such a plant Is started. It grows rspldly and Increases almost without attention. Cattle can eat It from the plant. It will not be neces sary first to cut It off and prepare It for them. The thornless variety grows with a thin shell that can easily be masticated and digested by live stock of any kind. In Southern Cali fornia and Arizona, where stock Is fed upon It, the animals prefer this to ell other kinds of food. They fatten read ily and produce a superior variety of beef. The fruit also is used for domestlo purposes. Farmers prepare It for their table and use It for desserts, preserves and In preparing various delicate dishes. An excellent candy also is made from It. Mr. Morse's report of Mr. Burbank's experiments are so nattering that the traffic, officials here are figuring upon Introducing it on the Eastern Oregon deserts within the next two years.
