McMinnville has come forward, of-v fertngr to assist the Associated Chari ties and the fresh air committee in raring for the poor of the city this Summer. The ministers of all the churches of McMinnville will meet tor morrow with the members of the Civic Improvement Club and make arrange ments to offer outings for several of Portland's children. A letter from the Rev. L. J. James, of the Presbyterian Church, was received yesterday bv Secretary Manning, and it Is expected that the hospitality of Mc Minnville win be accepted and a party sent there in the near future. Forest Grove has sent in a list of those who are anxious to entertain the boys and girls. They have designated In each case the number that can be accommodated and named the sex pre ferred. Professor William Kletzer and his family, who have gone to Bull Run for the Summer, were so much Inter ested in reading about the work of the outing committee that they went to the association before starting on their vacation and got a. boy who needed a v-nange and took him as their guest. .Places are waiting in Sllverton for five more girls. The committee is anxious to find a country home for four more boys, all well behaved. Their ages are 10. 11, 12 and 10. It Is neces sary for them to go together or In pairs. The 50 persons who went In the first party to Silverton will return today. The next party shortly will leave for Forest Grove. As it takes only S3 to give a grand vacation to a little child it is hard to realize what a world of good that little donation will do. Interesting information Is found In the letters written by the little folks who are enjoying the outing at Silver ton. Blanch Mover, a bright little girl, writes: "I am with Miss Lonbakker. She Is good. She has a cat, one dog, two pigs, one horse and four cows. She has an awful big garden." One can Im agine how big that garden looks to the citv child who probably never had even a tiny plot of flowers or vegetables of her own. PERSONAL MENTION. L. B.

Lau, of Salt Lake, Is Believed to Hate Been Intoxicated or Un balanced "Movies' Become Popular on Ocean. ; Jumping from the deck of the San Francisco & Portland liner Bear shortly after she had passed through the Broadway bridge yesterday, bound for California ports, a steerage passenger named L. Lau, of Salt Lake, was drowned. Captain Nopander, master of the Bear, telegraphed from Astoria, in response to a query from here, that he was not aware that a man had been lost until the ship passed the flour mill. Passengers who had seen the man leap did not report it until then. Men standing on Columbia dock No. 1 when the Bear passed sent word of the accident to the harbor patrol sta tion and in an hour after being noti fied Hugh Brady, municipal grappler, recovered the body. Lau was arrayed in an undershirt, trousers and socks and a 10-cent piece was found in one pocket. His effects were ordered re turned from Astoria. Those on shore who saw the man leap said that he sprang from the forecastle. There was talk on the dock after the steamer sailed that a steerage passenger had said he had been warned not to pro ceed further on the ship than the Broadway bridge, and it was assumed that the man was intoxicated or un balanced. The Bear had S53 passengers aboard, and while every first-class accommo dation had been sold she carried an unusually large steerage list for this season. There were about 25 Hindus, who are bound for home as part of a small army that Is said to be leaving the United States for the land of their birth. Captain Rankin brought the steamer Rose City into port at i P. 3d. yester day, following a smooth voyage from Los Angeles and San Francisco. The steamer, was .crowded .to capacity. From Los Angeles to the Golden Gate Bud Anderson, the Medford pugilist, was a passenger, having traveled that far on his way to- Medford, after undergoing an operation for appendicitis. Captain Rankin says that the moving-picture attraction is. so - great that on the southbound voyage the owner of a ma chine exhibited it two nights and the saloon was jammed to the doors. He thinks that one of the next steps in the Coast trade will be the introduc tion of "movies" as features of the. trip. HOO HOO CAROUSAL SERIOTJS Captain AValker's License Revoked ' by Federal Inspectors. Captain Charles K. Walker, master of the steamer Hoo Hoo, has had his license revoked by United States-Inspectors Edwards and Fuller as a re sult of an investigation and trial' con cerning the. finding of a women aboard the steamer Sunday, July 27, In an In toxicated condition and almost nude. Captain Walker formally, was charged wtih intoxication and misconduct and the inspectors found him guilty. George F. Tucker, engineer of -the Hoo Hoo, also accused of misconduct, was exonerated. He testified to the sat isfaction of the inspectors that he had left the steamer the night of July 26. after a trip to Ross Island that had been made at the instance of the wo man and a companion, whom she said was her husband. The latter left ier on the steamer the following morning, it was testified. Charles Grisim, a pa trolman in the harbor patrol service, and Clarence Gilliland, engineer of the patrol launch, who took the woman from the Hoo Hoo, were the principal witnesses. SIX WOMEN MISS BAGGAGE One Makes Hit Through' Resigning Trip Good-Naturedly. Expressmen who agreed to ' deliver trunks and suitcases belonging to six women who Intended sailing on the steamer Bear for California yester day and then failed to have them on hand, thereby preventing the fair pas sengers from embarking, undoubtedly suffer from burning ears, for they were "roasted" to a crisp brown by the in dignant travelers. One expressman had the temerity to send the traveling bags with another man, but fortunately his late arrival at the dock saved an ar raignment, for the women had depart ed uptown. - The Bear was held until about 9:20 "PEARL." 3 LILY BLAIR AND THE o'clock, but the luggage failed to ap pear, until- she was away from the dock and headed down stream. One woman earned the appreciation of the steam ship officers because of the philoso phical manner in which she accepted her - disappointment, and they agreed it was -about the first case on record that a person compelled to abandon a Journey of the kind exhibited a for giving mien. TRAXS-PACrFIC RATES FIXED Steamship Lines Advance Tarif I $ 1 a Ton on Cereals. Under a compromise effected between steamship interests operating, from Portland and Puget Sound to Oriental ports and Manila, - rates on flour and wheat will be' advanced August 16 so as to range ?1 higher, instead of J1.50, as had been expected. The tariff to Japan will be 4 instead of J3, as at present, and 5 to Hongkong instead of $4. while J5.50 will be charged to Shanghai and Manila Instead of J4.50. When the rates were lowered in the Spring as a means of attracting busi ness it was accepted by shippers that they would be restored this month to that basis, or, in other words, advanced 1.50. Shippers protested on the ground that the charges would be too high as compared with the existing market con ditions, ' so the compromise was sanc tioned. ( Oriental buyers are said to have been holding off pending an ad justment of the rate matter, and it is thought that considerable business will be placed as a result of the decision. CHINOOK OX RIGHT COURSE Pilot : Nolan Says Road for Large Vessels Is Being Aided. In operating the Government dredge Chinook on the Columbia River bar Captain Moreno 1s "working along lines that are entirely satisfactory to the pilots, according 'to Captain Nolan, of the Port of Portland bar crew, who says that the Chinook has been held stead ily on. a course south southwest, which is the direction selected in' handling large vessels that are "rolled", out. The general direction of the best water, as shown in the annual surrey, was southwest and that course is used by the masters of coasters making the river frequently. Captain . Nolan says that soundings made recently . show good water at half tide over the en tire channel. While no opportunity has been given for accurately gauging what the Chinook has accomplished in deepening the road, the "crust" of the bar has been so broken that the Chi Steamer leaves Ash Street Dock 8:00 A. M. daily, except Saturday and Sunday. Back in Portland 10 P. M. same day. Breakfast and other meals served a la carte. Make reservations at Ash St. Dock or City Ticket Office, Third and Washington.

ASTORIA,' Or..' Aug. 5. (Special.) During July 71 lumber-laden vessels sailed from the Columbia River and the combined cargoes amounted to 64. 556,256 feet. Of these vessels 34, car rying 24,07,467 feet, were loaded at the mills In the lower river district. 18.541.634 feet -of lumber irom me lower river mills went to domestic. i, ; t . . c kcs a - 7 f.t went to for eign countries. Of the lumber loaded at the upper river mills, slightly over 17,000,000 feet went to foreign ports, while 13.000.000 feet went to domestic ports. In addition to the lumber shipped from the lower river district, three rafts containing 7,000,000 feet of logs and 15,600,000 feet of piling were towed to California. Notwithstanding the amount of lumber that was shipped July was an exceptionally dull month, particularly In the California market. ASTORIA TO HAVE PUBLIC DOCK Ordinance Providing for Bond Issne for Harbor Improvements Passed. ASTORIA. Or.. Auir. 5. (Special.) Astoria is to have a modern public wharf, not less -than 900 feet long, ana equipped with all appliances for the loading and discharge of vessels. u.nis was decided today when the Port of Astoria Commission passed an ordi nance providing for the issuing of $800,000 In 5 per cent 30-year Donas to raise funds for the purchase or. a site, the erection of the wharf and to GTEAMER INTELLIGENCE.

The Commission of Public Docks Is in charge, while the" regular municipal of ficers have authority, by virtue of pub lic safety measures adopted. It Is in tended that accumulations of all kinds cease. Harbormaster Speier has succeeded in having most of the docks policed and all that have to do with river traffic obey the mandates, but in cases where docks are utilized as . storage places difficulty has been met with in getting occupants started .in the campaign.
