PLEADING TO CONTINUE
Captain Ellicott, of Maryland, Who
Is Familiar With Channel, May
Be Aid in Bringing Warships
to RiTer Xext Year.
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.

riving from San Diego and way ports
late Sunday, was a cargo of 1525 tons
and 140 passengers were numbered on
her list.
Despite inclement weather the
steamer Bailey Gatzert, leaving yea-
terday for The Dalles, carried zoo
passengers, exceeding the number ac
commodated Sunday.

tain Ellicott has received his commis
sion as captain, which is dated July 1.
1911.
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. While some cement was jet
tlsoned at Cos Bay, there is more in
the hold, besides general cargo, prac
tlcally all 6f which; Is damaged. Whil
the vessel was at Couch-street dock
yesterday, water could be seen pour
lng into her bold from three points,
but the pumps kept even with the
flow.
Captain Buchanan, superintendent of
the Open River Transportation Com
pany, and R. S. Oakley, of Spokane,
spent yesterday afternon on Oak
street dock recounting days in pioneer
steamboatlng when the ralnN fell

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.
Usual exactions of Labor day clayed
no part In the regulation of work on
the Broadway bridge project yester
day. The full crew of sandhogs, num
bering more than 90, continued the
shifts for 24 hours, as on Sunday. The
sinking work goes on day and night
unceasingly ana now the contractors
are bent on getting the piers on a per

way undertaking, as he was here dur
ing the building of the Harrlman
bridge piers, and la familiar with its
many phases. He says the bridge
headway is satisfactory. There has
been a delay on the East Side ap

a Main-street saloon about noon today
by Thomas Harding, a woodcutter, of
Mount Pleasant According to the
police Harding was under the in
fluence of liquor and is said to have
dared Hoffman to fight
A. L. Hughes started to Jump be

them Harding slashed Hoffman on the
right side of the face. The cut ex
tended from bis eye under his chin.
He then, according to witnesses,
thrust the knife into the left side of
Hoffman's face under the eye. Hard
ing ran out of the saloon and started

TOULON, France. Sept 4. 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

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

HOPPICKING FINISHED IN NEW YORK
Eastern Dealer Wires That Crop Is Less
Than 20,000 Bales.
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. A letter from
London, dated August 23, said:
A few lots of new crop English hops
were offered yesterday at 190 to 110 shil
lings, with the best held at 220 shillings."
Another London letter of the same date
saldt "There has been a small trade in
early varieties at 180 to 210 shillings. The
market remains firm for all descriptions."
A Nuremberg letter dated August 22 said:
"All of the 1910 crop baa been sold. The

VANCO U V ER, Wash.. Sept. 4. (Spe
cial.) '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.
'Statistics complied In the past year

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,

both among its members and outsid
ers, is shown by an order of Chief of
Police Slover issued yesterday, direct
ing that the docket clerk at the Po
lice Station shall transmit every day
a list of the offenders against the
automobile regulations to the secre
tary of the club. A record of the law
violators will be kept by the club and
check will be put upon the illegal
practices.
Less attention to tecnmcai violations
and more to fast and reckless driving
is enjoined by the order, which points
out that of the arrests made about
nine-tenths have been' for minor in
fractions. Chief Slover wants to ar
rest the drivers who menace life and
limb, but also urges the police to
seize all who disregard the law.
Motorcycles, says the chief, are more
dangerous than automobiles and roust
be curbed. Motor trucks, on account
of their weights, he holds more peril
ous at the same rate of speed, and he
wants them held to the lawful maximum.
