10 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1914. JOE KNOWLES SEEN PRIMITIVE Crowd Shouts Jovial Greeting to Nature Expert on His Return to Civilization. CITY'S OFFICIALS VISITED State Game Wardens and College Professor Among Others to Pay Tribute to Man Who Has Proved Human Superiority. LECTURES BY JOE KNOW1E9 This afternoon at Hellig- Thea Broadway at Taylor street, free talk to school children. Tonight at Hell'ig Theater, Illus trated lecture. BY REX LAMPMAX. Figuratively, the gulf of the ages was bridged yesterday by the appear ance of a veritable cave man, dressed as man must have dressed soon after he came down from the trees, on the crowded business streets of a metrop olis. The contrast was heightened by the fact that the cave man, such a man as must have stalked the mammoth in his fen, rode in a high-power auto mobile, one of the last words In the bright lexicon of modern mechanical Knowles saw downtown Port land, and downtown Portland saw Joe JCnowles. Downtown Portland shouted a cor dial greeting and Joe Knowles waved a long, brown arm, muscled to the wrist and tattooed like a South faea Islander a memento of the days when, in Knowles words, he was "a fool kid in the Navy." The Boston artist who accomplished a aelf-set feat of atavism, who went back to nature and wrested a living from her with his bare hands for 30 days in the forests of the Siskiyous, was clad only in the skins which he took in the wilderness. Costume Declared Ample. Brief as was his costume, it com pared favorably with many that have brought their wearers fame behind the footlights. It would have made sev eral copious wardrobes for Isadora Duncan, Lady Constance Richardson and other dancers of the ultra-modern school. Anyway, no one seemed to mind, and the shouts and salutations that greet ed the latter-day Ab were all good natured. Traffic slowed down a little, driv ers of automobiles risked dislocated necks and pedestrians stopped stock still and stared. "How's Hie in the woods? I might want to go out some time myself." yelled a pocket-edition of a newsboy, who ran up alongside Knowles' car. "Fine, my boy, line." said the big fel low in the deerskins. "I'll tell you all about it tomorrow." Knowles grinned joyously he never smiles: he can't for It Is his fondest Idea that he has taught a lesson and set an example that is of great value to the male young of the genus homo. The traffic policemen, waving for Knowles' car to make the crossing, smiled In recognition and saluted. Some even cracked the traditional dig nity of the "traffic cop" to the extent of singing out, "Hello, Joe!" "Hello, Joe," Common Greeting. And it was "Hello, Joe," all over town. Wherever the car stopped it was soon surrounded by a crowd, eager to get a near view of the man who has proved that in spite of a coddling civili zation, a man may go back to the great mother and by dint of strong, two fisted persuasion, make her acknowl edge, tacitly at least, that "a man's a man for a that. Knowles' car was driven to the City Hall from the Hotel Oregon, where it took the nature man scarce more time than it takes to tell to divest himself of his store clothes and get Into his Jungle-garments. Knowles shook hands with all the heads of the Portland city government, and was congratulated by them. Him self not greatly given to the arts of polite repartee he is too much in earnest Knowles "made" but little conversation. For that . matter, he found himself busy answering the questions that were fired at him from all sides. He met Mayor Albee, Commission ers Brewster, Bigelow, Dieck and Daly, City Attorney La Roche and other mu nicipal officers. As he chatted with them for a few moments the lobby of the City Hall filled with clerks, stenog raphers and others who may not have been on the municipal payroll. Policeman Gets "Funny." Policeman Fones, whose duty it is to see that the peace and dignity of the city is preserved In its headquar ters, drew deeply on his troglodytic sense of humor when Knowles first intered, and provided diversion for a short time while the Mayor's coming as awaited. "We got several fellers down In the Jail who have more on than you have," he said, pleasantly, edging up and comparing his face to Knowles', with no particular advantage to either "map." "I presume you have." said Knowles, composedly, but scanning the Fones features closely for a jest-or-earnest clew. He whose duty it is, and so on, pur sued his remarks with all the delicacy of a dancing bear doing the hesita tion. He said, among other Jovial things, that it "wouldn't take moer'n two minutes to git th' wagon. But Knowles in some occult way determined that the guardian of the peace and dignity and all the rest was joking. He said later that his sense of the primordial often comes to his aid when he is puzzled by something in the haunts of civiliza tion. Outside the hall. J. B. Gehr, veteran employe of the engineering depart ment, called out, "We want to know how you caught that deer." "All right. I'll tell you all about it tomorrow night," said Knowles. Other Calls Made. The colloquy continued while the photographer was getting fixed for a shot." and Mr. Gehr called out "You're all right," as the car moved away. Knowles called on W. L Flnley, State Biologist, and R. E. Clanton, Master Fish Warden, at the Pittock Block, and they came down to the street to KTeet him. With them were Sam L Landry, Chief Fish and Game "Warden of District No. 1, comprising Southern Oregon, and Professor Sykes, of the chair of zoology at the Oregon Agri cultural College, all of whom had brief chats with Knowles concerning his exploit and the country In which it was made. Knowles will give a free lecture to school children today at the Heilig Theater.

BERLIN ARRIVES ALSO Captain Einar Thomsen Says Run Was Steady All Season and Fish ermen Make From $700 to $000 During Summer. Th hark Levi G. Bureess. In com mand of Captain Einar Thomsen, made the harbor yesterday from Bristol Bay with 50,000 cases of the Alaska sal mon pack. The Levi G. Burgess was i'hi days on the way, the distance from Bristol Bay to Unimak Pass being sailed in five days, and she was four days ne gotiating the pass proper. The Ber lin, also of the Alaska-Portland Pack ers' flag, was sighted August 20 in the pass, well ahead of the Burgess and In tow of the tug Akutan, which helped her through, and August 23 the Berlin was easily three days ahead of the Burgess, yet the former entered the Columbia Monday morning and the Burgess crossed the bar Tuesday morn ing, making up two days in sailing. Last year the Burgess made the re turn in 18 days, and the Berlin towed through the pass, and they both en tered the river the same day. "We had thick weather at Bristol Bay and in the pass, and there was a stiff wind on when we left the pass, but otherwise the weather was all right," said Captain Thomsen. "The fishing was better than usual and i .n atftarlv run f)nfl mere - 'wtj . thing we noticed was that the Govern ment has no net stretcnea across uic entrance to Woodriver Lakee this year.

BATHTUB DEMAND INCREASES Steamer Brings Shipment to Keep Vp With Wave of Cleanliness. Lessons In hygiene in some quarters are thought to have borne fruit, say longshoremen engaged yesterday in un loading BOO oatntuDs irom ine ursco liner Santa Cruz, which started dis charging at Municipal Dock No. 1. Gear at one hatch was kept busy all day h;indllns the bathing equipment, and while consigned to Portland dealers, some of the tubs will find their way to the interior, because this port is be coming a greater distributor for the inland region. Other cargo on the Santa Cruz con sisted of 12,555 kegs of wire nails, 640 kegs of staples. i900 reels of wire fence, a large shipment of barb-wire and 1400 tons of steel for the North west Steel Company, to unload which the ship moves tonight through the bridges to the company's plant In South Portland. There were many shipments of a miscellaneous character, the ves sel having 2750 tons in all. Captain Watson brought the Santa Cruz around from New York by way of the Straits of Magellan, and she is the last of the Grace flag to follow that course, the company having determined from the start to use the Panama Canal .as soon as it was open. Not much lumber is being accepted for eastbound delivery at present and all space available is being taken for general cargo. ASSORTED FREIGHT IX BOXD Portland Firms Get New Goods by Emergency Routes. Interrupted transportation arising from the chaos at European ports is diverting cargo by various routes to Portland, shipments in bond having ar rived yesterday numbering 616 pack ages that came from many lands. One lot of earthenware and toys was from the Orient via the Pacific Mail line to San Francisco and thence here. There was crockery from Antwerp; stoves, glow lamps, 150 sacks of peas and enameled ware from Hamburg; crock ery from Rotterdam; asbestos slats from Amsterdam; sardines from Kopee vin. and like consignments, some of which were discharged at San Francisco from vesesls sailing direct and others are said to have been carried through the canal on European vessels and then brought up the Coast by Pacific Mail vessels. The Oriental movement is accounted for by the fact the Hamburg-American has suspended service temporarily and the Royal Mail fleet was tied up for a time on the other side, so certain com modities were booked on the first ves sels leaving for the Pacific Coast. POKTDAXDER IS CANDY KING Edward Newbegln Carries Stock to Palo Alto Co-Eds. Evidently friends of Edward Newbe gln and his daughter. Miss Ellen New begln. feared that a prolongation of strife abroad and its consequent effect on the sugar market might play havoc with the candy output, for on their de parture for Palo Alto yesterday aboard the "Bulldog'' Bear, of the San Fran cisco & Portland line, they were show ered with boxes of sweets. As the liner backed away from the dock Mr. Newbegln had difficulty holding seven boxes of varied sizes In one arm while he waved adieu with the other. Miss Newbegln enters school in the south. The Bear has 310 guests and 29 more boarded the ship at Astoria, while in the way of freight she had all nooks In the hold filled. Heavy shipments of wheat to California, combined with the movement of other seasonable com modities, is giving the vessels abundant business and on the departure of the Beaver next week it is promised that she will carry the record south-bound load. SAXON MONARCH IN HARBOR Fleet Working Here Grows Regard less of Shipping Slump. Arriving last evening from Hong kong the British steamer Saxon Mon arch, a carrier of 3024 tons net register. swelled the fleet in port for grain to three, of which the Norwegian bark Alcides leaves down this morning in tow of the steamer Ocklahama, hound for Falmouth for orders. The Nor wegian ship Nordhav is being loaded rapidly at Irving dock and will get away early in the week and her berth will be occupied by the Saxon Monarch, which will be lined by then. Three big ships were at West Side docks yesterday, the British f.teamer Crown of Seville, at municipal dock No. 1, discharging European freight; the Santa Cruz, at the same dock, unload ing New York cargo, and ".he British steamer Cape Flnisterre, at tne bunk ers, receiving fuel, preparatory to shifting to St. Johns to take on 400,000 feet of lumber that will complete her cargo for China. The salmon ship Ber lin was discharging at the North Bank dock, and the Levi G. Burgess was in the stream awaiting a berth there. The American - Hawaiian freighter Oregonlan is due Sunday or Monday on her first trip here, bringing New York cargo. She is of 8000 tons capacity and will be followed before the week ends by the Washingtonlan, of 10,000 tons. Also the Norwegian steamer Cuzco, of the Grace West Coast line, will be in the harbor; the British steamer Hurst is coming from Eureka to work the last of her lumber load for Australia and others are expected along that will Join the grain fleet. PASSENGERS LAND QUICKLY Delay for Travelers at Ainsworth Is Thing . of the Past. In seven minutes 305 passengers were landed from the flagship Beaver, of the "Big Three" fleet, at Ainsworth dock yesterday afternoon. She reached her berth at 2 o'clock and was the first inbound vessel or the line to use a new double gangplank completed this week. When a single plank was in service, which barely permitted a person with baggage to navigate, it required an average of 14 minutes to land passen gers, and with many children or feeble persons arriving the time has been ex tended to 16 minutes. Fair weather, a smooth sea and ab sence of naval vessels along the Coast were reported by Captain Mason. There were gangs of longshoremen ready to discharge the Beaver yesterday, and she Is to shift to Irving dock tomorrow for 1200 tons of wheat for California, Cereal is being carried on the regular vesesls for the south, also on some of the steam schooners, and the business promises to reach a high mark this month. Etna to Begin Run at Woodland. WOODLAND, Wash., Sept. 4. (Spe cial.) Captain Gray, of the steamer Etna, that operates from Woodland to upper river points, expects to start operations about the middle of Septem ber. That is the earliest that it will be possible under ordinary conditions to navigate the river. Marine Notes. Preparations have been made to launch the steamer Wauna and the gasoline tug Echo, of the Shaver fleet, at- the Portland shipyard this morning. Both have been on the ways for an overhauling. At Supple's yard yesterday the pro peller Nahcotta, of the O.-W. R. & N. fleet, which customarily plies between Astoria and Megler. was hauled out for extensive work. She will be on the cradle 10 or 12 days. The sternwheeler Elmore is running in her place. On the arrival of the steamer Game cock at Astoria yesterday with a load of wheat from The Dalles, arrange ments were made for her to tow a log raft from the lower river to Portland and from this city she will probably proceed to The Dalles for a second cereal shipment. Repairs are being made to the tug Daniel Kern, of the Columbia Contract Company's fleet, on the Oregon dry dock. Having spent less than a week along the Coast replacing outside buoys the lighthouse tender Manzanita returned to Astoria yesterday. As Captain Richardson is on his annual leave, the vessel Is in command of First Officer Charles A. A. Modeer. Cargo for San Francisco aboard ths steamer Northland when she leaves will consist of 700 tons of wheat and 800.000 feet of lumber, according to her manifest tiled at the Custom-House yesterday. The steamer Klamath waB an arrival from the Golden Gate yes terday, and berthed at Couch-street dock to discharge cement Informal application has been made by the Southern Pacific Railroad to the Commission of Public Docks for permission to erect a single-deck open dock on the East Side, between the Burnside-street bridge and the com pany's hop warehouse, where It Is pro posed to handle lumber from the Wil lamette Valley that will be shipped to California by water. The first plans were not in accord with regulations of the Commission, but are to be al tered if the Southern Pacific executives authorize the construction. MARINE INTELLIGENCE . Steamer Schedule.

URGENCY ABROAD SHOWN Interior Mills Sell Output for Two Months Ahead and Employment Situation Expected to Be Re , Moved Wheat Rises. Millers of Oregon and Washlnston are receiving- orders for flour to be shipped Immediately to the Last. This demand has sprung up suddenly and completely alters the grain trade situ ation in the Northwest. It has been a foregone conclusion that Europe would need our breadstuffs, but the difficulty has been in getting the grain and flour there, owing to the scarcity of ships and steamers, the perils of navigation and the difficulty of financing sales. These obstacles appear to have been largely removed now. The flour will be shipped to New York and other Atlantic ports, either by water or rail, sold there and then transshipped to England, or left on the Atlantic sea board to take the place of American flour already sent over. Heavy Movement Expected. It Is known that a considerable quan tity of flour and also of wheat has al ready been sold to go East, and grain men believe the movement has only begun. Four or five mills In the in terior have closed such deals, the desti nation of the flour being New York and Boston. Evidently the need of flour In Eng land has suddenly become urgent Grain men were advised yesterday that the PUlsbury mills at Minneapolis had sold 100,000 barrels of flour to be shipped at once, and it was said a total of 500,000 barrels had been disposed of by mills in that section during the day. All the freight that can be handled out of Portland by the canal route will doubtless go that way. The American & Hawaiian line announces a $6 rate from Portland to New York on flour and barley and a $7 rate on wheat. Urg-ency In England Shown. It England's need of flour becomes more acute, however, as It seems may be the case, it will be forwarded by rail at whatever cost. The buying of flour rather than wheat shows the urgency of the Eng lish oositlon. It Is also a good thing for the North west that the manufactured rather than the raw product Is wanted, as it insures the mills of this section a prot -perous run and increases employment. Flour milling, next to lumber manufac turing", is the lnrgest Industry in this part of the country, and a boom In the flour trade will have a stimulating ef fect on all lines of business. Some of the flour mills In this territory have already sold their output for two months ahead. Wheat prices advanced yesterday in all the Northwestern markets, but Portland Is still the cheapest wheat market in the United States, according to dealers. The local quotation Is 8 cents below the New York price, freight Included, and this has opened the way for wheat shipments to the East. Mississippi Valley Buys. Innthof ,-tlltlAt for f f : 1 ! M Vl H .1 l' ' found In the Lower Mississippi Valley. reported In Idaho yesterday for ship ment to Louisville, Ky. California con tinues to bid strongly for northern grain. At the noon session of the Merchants' Exchange, forty fold was sold at the dollar mark, the highest price this kind of wheat has brought In years. Dealers bid 97tt cents for club With out getting any. At Walla Walla a block of club wheat was sold at a price equal to 98 cents here. A lot of blue stem sold on the local market during tho forenoon at fl.15, a 3-cent advance over the highest price bid on the pre ceding day. GRAIX CARGO TO 'SAIL TODAY Norwegian Bark to Leave Portland for English Port. Second of the grain cargoes dis patched for England since the outbreak of war will leave port toduy abourd the Norwegian bark AlcldeB, which was loaded by the Northern Grain & Ware house Company on account of Strauss & Co., the latter having arranged from their European headquarters to finance the business. The British steamer Fernley, sent away August 23 with a full grain cargo, was dlspatchud by Kerr, Glfford & Co. Exporters profess to know of no ma terial change in the exporting situation, but there Is an enormous movement of wheat from the Interior to tidewater, a proportion of which is to supply the California demand. As to financing. It is said that assistance Is being given by banks. "The banks are freely lendng on wheat, that Is meeting the demand, but that Is limited owing to storage space," said Emery Olmstead, vice-president of the Northwestern National Bank, last evening. "I understand that European Interests are making arrangements to take care of cargoes." News From Oregon Ports. COOS BAY, Or., Sept. 4. (Special.)
