Few Portland residents knew that a quiet but strong campaign was in augurated early this year to obtain the presence in the Columbia River of the Paciflo fleet under Admiral Thomas, tnd that, had difficulties in Mexico not demanded the presence there of American troops and naval vessel the Rose Festival of 1911 would have been featured "by the Navy's partici pation. The eame effort will be made again next year and unless urgent or ders Interfere, the Paciflo fleet will have headquarters here for a fw days at least. For that reason those Interested lo cally In having the vessels In the river sre keeping in close touch with move ments of the command. It was learned yesterday that the intended cruise to Honolulu has been postponed until Oc tober 1, because repairs aboard the South Dakota cannot be completed be fore then. In beginning the cruise the California, the-South Dakota, Colo rado and West Virginia will rendea vous with the torpedo flotilla at Ban Diego and will sail direct thence for the Hawaiian harbor, the big fighting machines towing the torpedo-boats. T wring Gear Improved. In a similar towing test three years ago improvements in towing gear were found desirable, and they will be-tested on the coming voyage. The fleet will .return to Pan Diego about November 15 forntarget practice. It was thought that as the Hawaiian cruise was post poned the cruiser Maryland could get into line for the run, but her repairs will not be completed until about. Oc tober 15, when the fleet will be at Honolulu. The Maryland will have an important mission In the Fall man euvers as she has been assigned to convoy the huge targets, which are to be towed from Mare Island to San Diego by auxiliary vessels and tugs. J. M. Ellicott, captain of the Mary land, who previously had charge of the Seventeenth Lighthouse District and left many friends here, will supervise the preparation of the targets for prac tice. Maryland Again Winner. While the Maryland recently lost the gunnery trophy to the Michigan, her company has not by any means lost Its test, as is sown In a ceremony that took place on the Maryland's quarter Seek August 31, when Captain Ellicott anrl the officers and men, formally re ceived from the citizens of Vallejo a silver trophy cup, won by the Mary land s track team In a contest between Slarino Jiotes.

It Is understood that Admiral Thom as Is willing to bring the fleet into- the Columbia River and was ready early this year to make the trip. The fact that Captain Ellicott is with the fleet will prove valuable, as he knows the channel from the sea to Portland and with an abundance of water during June there is no reason why the pow erful vessels that have been making history in the war game on the Paciflo Coast cannot participate In Portland's annual rose fete. work ceased on the damaged steamer Baglnaw and will be renewed today with the hope of having her In shap to be lifted on the Oregon drydock to morrow.

BREAD OR AMBERGRIS LOST Captain Ravens Did Xot Take Chance and May Regret It. e. uorr see ambergris floating off Cape Mears two weeks ago, or was he deceived by a loaf of bread discarded from the cruiser Boston? That ques tion Is bothering Captain Ravens, mas ter of the Dorr. The skipper says he has never seen ambergris float, but when passing Cape Mears he was seated aft, discussing ship affairs with the chief engineer, and the mate called that ambergris was floating near the steamer. Captain Ravens looked over the side and saw bread floating and told the mate. But the mate yelled that it was on -the opposite side of the ship and did not resemble bread. In fact, there was bread everywhere. To port, star board, ahead and astern were loaves and it appeared as if a bread cargo had been jettisoned. It was all due to the energy of Dr. Louis J. Wolf and Dr. Ben L. Norden. of the "medical depart ment of the Oregon Naval Militia, who found that when the cruiser Boston waa ready for sea at Astoria there was about 1000 loaves that had spoiled. A new supply was purchased at Astoria and on reaching the Paciflo, Sunday. Augnst 13, the old lot was consigned to the sea. However. Captain Ravens did not take the chance and may have passed up a small fortune. BRIDGE WORK SOT STOPPED Seltzer Says Broadway Contract Goes Ahead Encouragingly.

The French battleship Brennus, while speeding towards the rendezvous of the naval maneuvers near here this morn ing, crashed into the excursion steamer Magall. There were no fatalities, though many of the Magali's passen gers Jumped Into the water. Some SO persons were hijured. Although yesterday was a legal holiday, operations were not suspended In the grain markets of the Northwest There was little doing at Portland, Seattle or Spokane, but In the country trading was on a very active scale. The demand for wheat seemed stronger than at any previous time. The buying waa for account of Ooaat and Interior mill ers, warehousemen, speculators and prob ably exporters. Club wheat was' taken at SOU and 81 cents and 89 ' oests was bid for bluestem. Private cables showed strong conditions la Europe, which will no doubt be reflected in advances on this side when the American .exchanges reopen this morn ing. Labor day did not stop barley trading, as telegraphic orders came from Eastern dealers at full prices. For the past few days Eastern barley has been sagging, but Coast barley in the Eastern markets, which has been quoted considerably under the Eastern article, has been steadily advs.no lng In price. The oats market has been kept In a firm position by the high prices offered Eastern Washington growers. Bales were made In that section yesterday at, equal to $29 Coast and better. Willamette Valley farmers are strong In their views and holding for higher prices. - In some parts of the valley the crop has not come down as heavy as expected. The strength of the oata mar ket Is In a large degree caused by the high price of feed barley, which la held here at 831 to 832. Whether the present eats prices can be maintained remalna to be seen. If Canada agrees to the reciprocity proposal, it Is .more than llkaly that Cana dian eats will be shipped here and that prices will fall. In view of this uncer tainty there Is no speculative buying of oata Late purchases are chiefly by the cereal mills. Foreign crop conditions are summarized by the Liverpool Corn Trade News as fol lows: United Kingdom The weather Is favor able for harvesting and - threshing returns are satisfactory. France Threshing returns are generally Irregular, but are good where the acreage is large. Germany New wheat is being freely of' fered. The fodder crops are very bad. The potato crop is rather poor. Plowing for the new crops is being hindered by unfa vorable weather. Austria-Hungary New wheat Is being freely ottered. The corn and potato crops show no improvement and present Indica tions are lor poor crops. Russia In the southwest the weather continues rainy and there are continued complaints of the quality of the wheat be lng damaged. The outlook for the corn crop Is excellent. Reports regarding the Spring wheat crop are poor to bad. Indian The outlook for the crops is gen erally more hopeful, as there have been fur ther light rains. The government, how ever, is carrying out famine relief work. Australia The outlook for the crops ts mostly favorable. New Zealand Latest advices state that this country has oversold Its supply. Italy Threshing returns continue satis factory. celpts of sheep and hogs during the present year accounting for the larger total. July receipts of food animals at four lead ing Atlantlo seacoast cities, 787,119 head, show a like decline from the higher June figures, though in this ease the variation seems entirely normal and In accord with the smaller demand for higher grade meats at the larger cities during the midsummer season. Of the total received 77,381 head were cattle, 68,763 calves, 257,501 hogs and 873,819 aheep. The seven months' receipts at these cities aggregated 6,199.798 head, of which 613.427 were cattle, 408,661 calves, 3, 229,940 hogs and 1,948,766 sheep. As com pared with 1910 figures,, substantial in creases are shown for all animals, except calves. July shipments of packing-house products from Chicago totaled 198,349,375 pounds, compared with 162.987.400 pounds in July, 1910, and 178,357,619 pounds In July, 1909. The principal gains over the earlier years' figures appear under the head of fresh beef and canned meats. The shipments of pack-Inr-house products for the seven months of the present year, 1,277,985.725 pounds, com pare favorably with the corresponding fig ures for 1906. The stocks of meats at the end of July at five principal packing-house centers show the relatively high figure of 300,073,581 pounds, which is about 16 per cent in excess of the end-of-July average tor the preceding five years. MOVEMENT OF GRAIN TN THE EAST July Shipments Much Larger Than in Two Preceding Years. According to the report of the Bureau of Statistics of the Department of Commerce and Labon the combined grain receipts for July at 15 primary markets, . 72,855.794 bushels, were on a much larger scale than for July. 1910 and 1909. when 63,081,174 and 46,006,913 bushels were Teported. The larger total is due primarily to the early marketing of the new Winter crop. Wheat receipts for the month are given as 89,035, 872 bushels, compared with 22,875,445 bush els during July. 1910. and 20,342,262 bushels during July, 1908, Chicago showing particu larly heavy gains of wheat receipts for the month. A considerable gain la also shown for the Inbound trafClo of oats, the July re ceipts at 16 market, 17,038.888 bushels, ex ceeding the 1910 receipts by almost 26 per cent ana being more than double the short figures of two years ago. Corn and rye receipts show but little change from the corresponding monthly figures of the two earlier years, walls the receipts of barley show a considerable decrease. Grain re ceipts for the season beginning September totaled 703,060,274 bushels, composed of 219,213,440 bushels of wheat, 235,783,824 bushels 'of oorn, 178,764,980 bushels of oats, 63,890,725 bushels of barley and 6,418,755 bushels of rye. ' Flour shipments for the month from 13 leading milling points aggregated 3,189.344 barrels, compared with 2,997,492 barrels shipped during July, 1910. Shipments since the beginning of the year 19,860,815 barrels were almost 9 per cent below the corresponding 1910 figures, lbs loss affecting all the larger milling centers. Owing partly to the larger export demand for wheat, corn and flour, the July receipts of grain and flour at the four leading At lantlo ports, 16,619.678 bushels, show a con siderable gain over the corresponding fig ures of the two earlier years. The largest gain is shown for wheat, the receipts of which increased from 2,603,885 bushels in July, 1910, to 7,897,107 bushels during the month under dlscusslson. Grain and flour receipts at the same cities tor the seven months of the present year, 116,184,843 bushels, were also on a larger scale than during 1910 and 1909, when 100,870,689 and v..x2s,eutf ousneis were reported.

No business was reported In the Oregon hop market yesterday. The tone of the market continues steady. The most Important development of the day was the reoalpt of a wire from a well known Eastern dealer to the effeot that picking was over In New Tork State and that the crop had come down less than 20,000 bales. If these figures are con firmed, they should have a strengthening effect on the market. Me cables were received.

'Conservation of human life Is far more Important than the conserva tion of forests or of coal lands," said A. W. Perley, of the Publlo Utilities Commission, of the State of Washing ton, in this city today. The Railroad Commission, which costs the State of Washington 139,000 annually, has saved the people more than $2,000,000 in actual money. It has Increased the railroad valuation in this state $100,000,000, which means an in creased taxation of $1,000,000, which flows to the coffers of the State Treas urer every year. Besides doing- this, they have succeeded in reducing: freight rates $1,200,000, to say nothing at all of what has been accomplished in safeguarding the lives and increas ing the conveniences of the public .But what to me has always seemed to be the most wonderful results ac complished by the Commission is not so much the large sums of money saved to the people of the state, .but conservation of human life that has" re sulted. They may talk about conser vation of forests and conservation of coal, but the conservation of human life la surely by far the most important. Statistics show that In every two hours and 14 minutes a railroad man is injured and in every seven minutes, a trainman is injured. Since the rail-' road safety appliance law was passed providing that all cars must be con nected by impact, railroad men say that the percentage of men who are maimed has decreased remarkably. In 1S93 out of 179,636 men em ployed on the railroads in this coun try, 810 were killed and 8753 were in jured. In 1900 out of 191,198 men em ployed, 188 were killed and 3803 were injured. In 1908, out of 281,645 mea employed. 197 were killed with 8116 on the injured list "If the acoldents due to coupling and uncoupling, cars had Increased in pro portion to 'the men employed in 1908, there would have been 486 men" killed and 13,724 Injured,. as: against 197 who were killed and 811s Injured.

FEWER HOGS MARKETED JTJIY MOVEMENT S MAULER THAN" IX EARLIER MONTHS. Total Livestock Receipts at JOeading American Markers Are Greater Than Same Months Last Tear. A considerable decline In the commercial supply of hogs, as compared with the figures for the earlier months of the year, is sbown by the July report of internal commerce movements. Just made publlo by the Bureau of Statistics of the Department of Commerce and Labor. Livestock reoelpts during July at sevsn primary Western markets aggregated 8. 808, 6SO head, compared with 2,898,075 head received in July 1910, and 2,688.811 head in July 1909. Of the total, 699.778 head were cattle; 90.856 calves: 1.617,119 hogs; 875,474 sheep and 25,453 horses and mules. With the exception of calves the monthly Inbound movement of food animals shows a larger volume than In the preoeding two years, though the bog reoelpts during July mark a harp aecnne from the heavier figures of the earlier months.
