COLLEGIANS LEAVE OX BEATt JFirst Icnartiirc on Summer. Sched ule Featured by Yells or Oarsmen. There were IS passengers aboard the bulldos" Bear, of the San Francisco & Portland fleet, yesterday who made much more noise and attracted ten times the attention the other S3 trav elers did on the ship, because they rep resented rowlnir crews of the Univers ity of Washington bound for the Gold en Gate to pull apralnst (.aniornia row ers. In the first pliice the fact the Bear had her colors and signal naps -rivincr and the table decorations of nurole and cold provided by Chief Steward ilartln. indicated there was a special occasion being observed other than that it was the first trip ot any of the fleet on the 1915 Summer sched ule. Then the presence ot the oarsmen nd rooters and their vociferous col- lepe yells told the rest of the story. As the Bear backed into the stream there were yells for J. D. Farrcll, pres ident of the 0.-W. R. & N-, who was on the dock to lend his interest to the ef forts of the steamer's crew to see that the collesians were properly received and their two shells and luggage handled with care. H. L. Hudson, gen eral acent of the system at Seattle, who accompanied the youths from Washington, was also on hand and re reived recognition, while Portland, the Bear, the University of Washington and several other subjects were toasted with "rah, rah. rah." The men are to return on the next trip of the Bear. The vessel sailed with 2400 tons of cargo and her passenger list was the best showing jet this season on south-' bound business. tutes the cargo of the" British steamer Werribee, which was cleared yesterday and sailed late last night for Hobart, Tasmania. beinar the first shipment of that cereal for the locality. The Wer ribee finished early yesterday afternoon and shifted from the Albina dock to the bunkers to take on fuel tor the long run. The Norwegian bark Hiawatha an arrival this week from Cape Town, is to be dispatched next for Australia and she may be the last of the season for the antipodes. The vessel is to be lifted on drydock next weeK tor clean ing and painting, and Balfour, Guthrie & Co., will give her a full cargo as soon as she moves into a loading Dertn. PORT FLEET LOSES HOODOO Opposition Beaten in Getting Tow line Aboard Schooner -Eric. Off the Columbia P.lver yesterday afternoon a ceremony wi conducted by the crew of the Port of Portland tug Oheonta, in burying a Jinx that has lived aboard for the last few weeks, and immediately afterward the schooner Eric, from San Francisco, ap peared in the offing and the Oneonta made haste to proceed alongside, for it was the first vessel picKea up Dy the Port tugs since the latter part of February. . Whether the change of luck is due to the fact Captain Barnes recently took up the helm aboard the tug. or the appointment of Ed Wright as gen eral manager was a good omen, it Is a fact nevertheless that there is new ginger in competition at the mouth of the river. Livelier opposition is prom' ised the tugs of the Fuget Sound Tug boat Company, and it is predicted that the Eric Is not the tall-ender of tne tows the Port will have chalked to its credit this month. The schooner left the Golden Gate March 17 and will load lumber at Westport for the West Coast under charter to Comyn, Mackall & Co. OPERA ENLIVENS TRIP LAMBARDI SINGERS I.1KEN BEAVER TO VENETIAN" GOXDOLA, Italian Renditions Thrill Passenger", Who Praise Antidote Against Mai de Mer. Basking in a gondola on Venetian waters, lulled by the tune of the guitar and the thrills of singing damsels, has nothing on the last voyage of the steamer Beaver from California, steam ing through fairly placid waters at night, with star-bedecked skies and the charm complete through the serenades by members of the Lambardi Opera Company, some of whom tried the salt water route from the Golden Gate on their way to open an engagement next week at the Baker Theater. From prima donna to the star of the choru there were contributions and there were times that the social hall wu jammed to capacity as some fa vorite warbled the airs that have mad Italian renditions so thrilling. As all good things must end, so did the mu sical journey, but there was a cheery looking crowd of paasengers to walk ashore at the Ainsworth dock jester dav. some of whom insisted that th company should provide such talent regularly as the best antidote against mat de mer. . "We had a strong southeaster from Point Arena to the bar, but who cared for weather with sucn surroundings ; remarked Captain Mason.

The Eastern grain exchanges ware closed yesterday and no effort was made to trans act business on the local exchange. The country markets ia th Northwest were also quiet. Had the Chicago market been open, there Is little doubt that the numerous peace ru mors would have had a very depressing e feet on values, and unless there is a change (n conditions la the meantime, the reopenlm of the market Is likely to be at a lower level, The grain markets are more susceptible to peace talk than to any other Influence, and during the past week there has been a con siderable growth of sentiment more favor able to the selling side. This Is due to the belief that the war will not last over the Summer. The success of the Russian cam palgn and the tall of Przemysl nas created deep Impression on the minds ot grain men because of the advantages that may result to Russian operations. The latest rumors that Austria may sue for peace have added to the bearish feeling.' Not so much attention Is paid to the Dardanelles as was the case week ago. ' There have also been indications during the week of a subsidence of export demam In those parts or tha East where foreign buying was lately so lively. With European conditions as they are, grain dealers do not believe the demand will revive immediately, The European visible wheat supply appears to ne sufficient for prompt heeds, although Included in the figures are cargoes awaitin discharge in the congested porta Argentina is beginning to ship, and her exports are now expected to run 6,000.000 to 6.000,000 bushels a week.

IDAHO TOWN IS FIRE-SWEPT Council, in Adams County, Is Almost Completely Wiped Out. WElfeER, Idaho. April 2. (Special.) The business district of Council, the county seat ot Adams County, 50 miles north of here, was almost completely wiped out by fire early yesterday morn- , with a loss estimated at $30,000, partially, insured. The hre, or unknown origin, started In the Freehafer restaurant, and before it was under control seven buildings were destroyed, with nearly all their contents, including the famous old Overland HoteL The town is without lire protection and the wooden struc tures burned- rapidly. The brick drug store on the west and bank building1 on the east prevented a greater disaster. Steps have been taken to rebuild with more modern buildings. The town has a population of about 500. Klamatli Wins Hate Reduction. KLAMATH FALLS. Or., April 2. (Special.) The Klamath County Cham ber of Commerce seems to be winning somewhat in its effort to induce the Southern Pacific Company to reduce the freight rates between this city and the outside world. It was announced yesterday that the company had cut the freight rate on.salt irora San 1-ran- isco Bay points to this city from 510.40 to $9.10 a ton. This makes the rate the same as to this city from Utah points. On account of the livestock grown in Klamath County, considerable salt is shipped in annually. Paving Paid by State. SALEM. Or., April 2. (Special.) In replv to a query by D. M. Lowry, Mayor of Tallahassee. Fla., Secretary of State Olcott informed him that i all paving about the Statebouse and state insti tution grounds here was paid for by the state. Mayor Lowry said he de- lred the information for use In coll ection with Tallahassee collecting from the state for paving at the State house grounds of Florida. Eastern Dealers Declare Domestic Market Is Less Bullivh. The Eastern wool trade considers the mnr kct decidedly easier as a consequence of the rerent importations and purchases abroad The view taken by dealers Is expressed by the Boston correspondent of tha New York Commercial au follows: It would look as thou Eh the situation In regard to 1015 domestic clip of Wool is be coming less, bullish. The buyers have been enabled to act cautiously as a result of the influx of foreign wools. This recent back wardness of buyers in operating has soma what shaken the confidence of growers if ra porta of their present attitude toward the market Is a true criterion. It Is stated that they continue to seek the renewal of bids made a few weeks a so at prices thenr con sidered too low but now vry acceptable. At the same time, advices Indicate that the leading men of the primary markets begin to sea. that the prices they have been offered mean substantial profits and to Walt for higher levels might be to lose a good chance, the future being decidedly uncertain. It will be soen how exhorbltant haVo been the demands of sellers In the West, when the statement is made that the price asked In Nevada for good clips means & scoured cost laid down here of 80 to 85 cents. This compares, with Cs to 72 cents for good Aus tralian merinos. The Nevada wools sold last ear at 11 14 to 17 cents, but this season the owners demand 25 cents, even rejecting bids of 22 cents. Arizona growers are declared to be nearly as unreasonable as those In Ne vada, as a consequence of which, most of their wools are being forwarded on consign ment. It is not strange that buyers have Houslit relief elsewhere and this tep now is causing growers of domestic wools some anxiety. "It Would be impossible for manufacturers to proceed with any chance of profit, on the basis of the demandsyof growers in this coun try and depending as usual upon the home grown product. So some of the .large con cerns heretofore using domestic staple in large part are buying Australian and South American clips. Their operations are becom ing extensive enough to make them Inde pendent, 1n the event of domestic growers insisting upon the exorbitant figures recent- ly named for their new clips. In this way the Influence) of the heavy arrivals from abroad is brought to bear upon the position of growers In the West. The importations of merinos, it is expected, will go far toward correcting the top-heaviness of the market,' SHEARING BJCG1XS AT SILVER LAKE Bend Will Receive 200,000 rounds of Central Oregon Wool. Sheep shearing begins at Silver Lake to day, and the entire clip of that section will be sent to Bend. According to the Bend Bulletin, the Wenandy Company has the con tract to bring out the clip from the Thomp son Valley and Summer Lake, a total of 200,000 pounds. This will keep the com panys full force of trucks busy for 45 days. For the return trip the company has now ready to haul some 25.000 pounds of salt consigned to sheep men three carloads of potatoes and 60,000 pounds of miscellaneous freight. To care for It all, according to It, Li. Fox, they plan to keep their freighting teams in use as well as their three motor trucks. STRAWBERRIES ABB OF FAIR QUALITY Another Shipment Is Due From Los Angeles xoaay. Six pony refrigerators of Los Angeles strawberries, the first to come from that section this year, were received yesterday. They were of fair quality and sold' at 20 cents a cup: Another shipment is due to day. There was4 a good movement In Oranges and, the market was firm. Higher prices are in sight for next week.
