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.

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.

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.
