ANOTHER RTCKMERS
Some German Shipowners
Are Partial to Portland.
ONE FIRM SENDS FIVE SAILING SHIPS
Ocean Freights Are Q,nlet So Bus
Ship From Calcutta Alaslca.
- Steamboats Marine Notes.
The German ship "Willy Rlckmers Is
reported chartered for wheat loading at
this port. Aside from the Poltalloch,
taken early In the -week, this Is the -only
new charter that has come to light dur
ing the past 10 days. The charter of the
Rlckmers -would indicate that her owners
are partial to Portland as a cheap and
desirable place to send their ships. -This
latest member of the large marine family
Is the fifth that has been fixed for this
season's loading. We have already dis
patched the Mabel Rlckmers, Robert
RIokmers and Rickmer Rlckmers, and the
Peter Rlckmers is fully due from Hong
Kong to load here.
The ocean freight market Is rather
quiet Just at present, and promises to
continue so until the wheat market Im
proves. There Is an immense amount of
wheat to be moved, not only from tha
Northwest, but from California as well.
The Commercial News, in alluding to
the big carry-over In California and the
fine prospects for 1001, says:
"Certainly the statistics favor tonnage
at the moment. Lack of competition on
this Coast, however, here and north, does
not warrant the prediction that extreme
rates will rule for tonnage, for exporters
will neither buy grain nor charter ton
nage at a loss. If loss can be avoided,
and the rivalry of a quarter of a century
ago is Tacking At the- close grain ton
nage was dull at 40d41s 3d, usual United
Kingdom options.
"For lumber, prompt loading at North
ern ports, rates are as follows: Sydney,
E3s Gd: Melbourne or Adelaide, 60s; Port
Pirie. 6Ss 9d: Fremantle. 71s 3d; Geraldton,
72s Gd: West Coast, 63s 9d, Plsagua range;

Steam to Kalo Chow has been done at 62s
6d, -and where steam competes freights
are liwer.
"Weddel, Turner & Co.'s Australasian
Frelgfit Report, dated London, Novem
ber 6. says:
" 'South Australia. Prompt ship fixed,
for Europe or Africa, at 3Ss 9d.

February canceling at 36s 3d and 36s 9d
respectively.

MORE ALASKAK STEAMERS.
New Boats for Both the Yukon and
Chilkat Rivers.
The river companies operating on the
Yukon 'are planning to Increase their
fleets. The Canadian Development Com
pany Intends building three new steam
ers, and the Klondike Corporation states
that Jt will also build new vessels.
Not only on the Yukon will -there be
new steamers, this coming season. Al
readythree different parties Jack Dal
ton, C. Gardiner and Captain John Ir
ving have, planned to build stern-wheel-ers
to operate on the Chilkat to carry the
miners and their freight to the new gold
fields on Bear and Clear Creeks, in the
Chilkat district; and companies are also
talking of steamers for the Stewart .Riv
er, whore there Is expected to be much
travel and demand for freight space this
coming .season, owing to the stampedes
to the new district on the Stewart.
That the river steamers have paid on
the Yukon Is a well-known fact. A re
cently returned navigator of one of
the K. C. Company's steamers, the
Flora, says that on her last trip, on
which she left White Horse on October 3
and arrived at Dawson three days later,
she pushed a scow In front of her, on
which were 115 tons of freight, for every
ton of whlph $75 had been paid to thu
Eteamboat. company: and she, too, had GO
passengers, each of whom had paid $65
for his passage. There was also about
a or 30 tons of freight on the steamer
herself, tor which the same charges were
mad of $75 per ton a. total of $13,000 or
roorev received for the one trip, which,
when the wages, cost of running, etc,
hao been paid, gives no small amount ot
profit to be earned by the little stern
wheoler In three days.
NO CALCUTTA BAG SHIP.
Increased Supply of Jute "Will Help
Matters Through.
It Is apparent that Portland will be
without a bag ship from Calcutta direct
next season, and but one vessel has been
secured to load for San Francisco. The
supply of bags for the entire Coast will
accordingly come out by steamer. The
Imports of Jute from Manila may help
matters out some, as we can manufacture
our own bags If we can secure the raw
material, and the supply of convicts at
the state penitentiaries does not run out.
In discussing the situation at Manila, tho
Ban Francisco Bulletin says:
"There have beon some unavoidable In
terruptions In the export trade through
the blockade and the scarcity of tonnage.
Tkese causes have affected American
markets more seriously than the question
Of stocks at the primary ports, though
all sorts of Btorles about these have been
current from time to time. Last Febru
ary Manila hemp sold in New York as
high .as 14& cents per pound. The price
subsequently fell as low as 5 cents. This
month there has been considerable stir in
that market, and on the 13th the price
was u to cents. At last advices the
stock of hemp at Manila, exclusive of
that aboard vessels In loading list, was
139.000 bales, against 3000 bales a year ago
and GS.000 bales In 1S9S. There was afloat
and loading for America and Europe at
last mall dates 114,400 bales, as compared
with 171.900 bales last year and 209.400
bales in 1S99. Price for fair current No
vember and December shipping was 31,
Rgalnst 60-last year, and 26 10s InlSSS.
It Is thought the receipts of Manila tiemp
at the primary ports this year may reach
1,000,000 bales."

RepalrlnR on Pusret Sound.
Portland ship-repairers are somewhat
mystified by the action of Lloyds' sur
veyor, who was sent north from San
Francisco to look after the repairs to
the British b&rk-Dunreggan, now lying
it Seattle. The Dunreggan was quite se
riously tajwred. and her. repairs will prob

that they would be supplied with specl

the Portlanders were accordingly very
touch surprised to receive copies of the
Specifications late Friday evening; accom
panied by the notice that bids would be

if course, shut, them out of competition
as effectually as though they had never
been considered In the matter.

THANKSGIVING APPEALS
WORTHY CHARITABLE ' EfSTTCTJ
TIONS ASIC DONATIONS.
The Children's Home, the Baby
Home, Boys' and Girls' Aid So
ciety and Home for Ajped,
As our kind-hearted citizens have, for
over a quarter of a century, remembered
the little inmates of the Children's Home
on Corbett street at Thanksgiving, It
seems almost unnecessary to remind them
that the needs of the children, are the
same this year that they have always
been.
Any donations of food supplies, articles
of household necessities, clothing or mon
ey will be most gratefully received by the
committee appointed for this purpose. As
there Is a comparatively new organiza
tion here, we understand, a branch of
some Eastern work for children, bearing
a name very similar to that of The Chil
dren's Home, and aa there have been nu
merous mistakes occurring therefrom
during the last two or three years, we
would Just suggest to any of our friends
who desire to help the old established
Children's Home, under the direction of

the ' Ladles Relief Society, that they
kindly exercise a little caution In the
matter of their giving.
The Oregonian of Monday will give no
tice of the place where the committee of
ladles will receive the gifts on Tuesday,
Wednesday and a part of Thursday, Dur
ing those days -wagons will be sent out
through the principal streets to gather
the donations. On this the last Thanks
giving of the old century, remember the
little ones bountifully.
MRS. C. A. DOLPH,
"President Ladies' Relief Society.
Appeal for the Baby Home.
As the season of Thanksgiving ap
proaches, with , gratitude for the many
favors shown us heretofore, we beg to
call attention of friends, both old and
new, to the needs of the little ones in the
Home, We depend solely upon the gen
erosity of our citizens for our support,
and knowing how great the need for this
line of work wo feel Justified In asking
for help to continue it' May we not hope
for a generous contribution in the way
of baby clothing, edibles and money?
Wagons will be out after Tuesday morn
ing and our headquarters will be on Third
street, between Feldenhelmer's and the
Summers & Prael Co., where we can be
reached by telephone. Those who wish to
make donations to our Home will please
see that packages' are plainly marked
"Baby Home." L. W. SITTON,
President Baby Home.

to 'their friends and the public schools
for Thanksgiving donations. As usual, a

Organisation Reaches the Ttventy
flfth Milestone Officers Elected.
The St. Andrew's Society, of Oregon,
held Its 25th annual meeting on the night
of the 20th lnst, In its rooms at the
Commercial Club. It was quite an Im
portant occasion, marking as it did a
quarter of a century since its first meet
ing had been held, and was attended by
a number of prominent and active mem
bers of the society. It was one of the
most enjoyable and social meetings that
the society has ever held in this city.

NEW MINING TOWN.
W. L. Smith on the -Prospects ot
Alamot
W. L. Smith, who Is Interested in tho
development of the Alamo quartz mine,
21 miles south of Sumptfcr.f was at the
Perkins yesterday. He says the newly
lald-otf town of Alamo Is going to bo a
great distributing center of a large, area
as soon as the Sumpter Valley Railroad
reaches It, and. tho present terminus at
Whitney is only 11 miles away now.
"Alamo," he said, "Is situated at tho
confluence of three Important streams
Beaver Creek, Clear Creek and Olive
rek and the trade of a large area Is
bound to gravitate to the town, which is
only three miles from the Red Boy mine,
upon which hoisting works to cost $100,
000 are now being erected.- There are
several stores, a hotel. Uvery stable,
blacksmith shop and private residences
already at Alamo, sd the place has a good
start toward being a metropolis.
"The Alamo mine Is one of a group of

properties partly owned in Portland, the
others being the Juneau and Gold Queen.
A tunnel to be 1100 feet long Is' now
being dug on the Alamd to tap the ledge
1000 feet below the present works, which
are being operated by a shaft from the
top of the hill. A fissure vein 20 feet
thick, between two well-defined walls, is
now being followed by the tunnel-builders,
and the average value of this rock
is $8 a ton. Portions can be found where
the quartz goes as high as $1000 a ton.
but $8 is a very conservative estimate
of the whole 'ledge. The rpek is all free
milling, and as high as 31 50 to the pan
has been mortared out by hand. Arrangements-
are being made to erect a stamp
mill on the property as soon as the tun
nel Is finished.
"The whole region Is highly mineral
ized, and many properties .are now being
developed with gratifying results. Among
these is the Slrasburg-, which shows a
vein of rich quartz as Tride as Fifth
street n Portland. A 400-fobt tunnel is
now being run to crosscut thi3 immense
body of ore.
"About 18 Inches of snow lay on the
hills in the vicinity of Alamo when I
left there, but the weather was not at
all unpleasant. Eren when -the mercury
registers, .below zero hr. that portion of
the Blue Mountains the air Is clear and
still, the sun is bright and people dwell
ing In that elevation are invigorated by
the -bracing atmosphere. The site of the
town of Alamo Is suppppsed to be be
tween 5000 and 6000 feet above the level
of the sea."
TAKE A CAB.r
An Accommodation for Travelers
That Must Be Tried to Be Ap
preciated The Editor of the Davenport, la., Dally
Democrat recently made an Eastern trip,
and writes his paper as follows of the
cab service of the Pennsylvania system:
"It goes without saying that the Penn
sylvania Railroad, in all Its many divis
ions and branches, is one oft the greatest
systems of freight arid passenger 'trans
portation In the world. But it is par
ticularly popular with tho traveling pub
lic because of the pains it takes to pro
vide the conveniences, "many railroads
overlook. For those npt experienced In
tho ways of the worjd, especially for
women who are Joumeyjng long distances
alone, the Pennsylvania supplies a serv
ice that meets a real wan.t, and at a
cost so reasonable that ail can afford It.
Reference Is made t6 the cab 'and car
riage service, which is so perfect that
nothing further Is to be desired.
"On the arrival of-(fains In Philadel
phia, Washington, New York and- other
cities there are always In waiting car
riages and competent drivers. These.take
the passenger to connecting-lines and to
hotels at a charge that Is almost nom
inal in- comparison with; the usual uncer
tain way of getting about hackmen who,
too often, are Irresponsible and untrust
worthy. The same service Is at the trav
eler's disposal for taking trains and fer
ries. One may as safely enter a Pennsyl
vania cab as a Pennsylvania sleeping-car.
"This accommodation is no money-making
one, but it meets a want long felt in
a way to be appreciated, on the first
trial, and to be patronized thereafter.
The writer has tried It -by. night as well
as by day, and this unsolicited commen
dation Is not intended so much for the
benefit of the Pennsylvania Company as
it Is for tha unfortunates who have
fallen Into the hands of unknown and un
certain persons who too commonly charge
unreasonably for what they do. The
perplexed traveler who reaches a large
city and doesn't know what to do can
make no mistake by taking- a Pennsyl
vania cab."
Broke Plate-Glass "Wlndovr.
A plate-glass window In the front of the
Lo,Tus building, fronting on Grand ave
nue, was broken last evening. The win
dow seemed to have been struck with a
stone at the lower end, which broke a
small hole through It. From this hole a
crack extends upwards to the top, show
ing that it was a large stone used, and
a heavy blow must have been struck. The
pane broken is eight feet high and five
feet wide,- and very thick. The glass cost
about 530. Another window In tho build
ing was struck several times, but wa3
thick enough to resist the blow. Perhaps
the "S. S. S." has Issued an order that
the glass In the Logus.' building should
be broken.

ALL USE HERPICIDE
ONE) OF THE GREATEST DISCOV
ERIES OF THE AGE.
As t Specific Core for DaadroS It Is
Generally Indorsed by Practi
tioners Everywhere.
A direct evidence of the popularity of
an article of general consumption which
possesses the intrinsic merits that best
entitle it to popular recognition is New
bro's Herplclde, which now enjoys such a
large sale in this market Herplclde is
put up by the Newbro Drug Company,
the leading wholesale drug house of Mon
tana, with headquarters at Butte. When
It Is considered that tho first bottle of
Newbro's Herplclde was put on sale June
26, 1S99, the remarkable success of this
preparation can be best appreciated by
the readers of this article. In September,
1S99, the total sales to other druggists by
the Newbro Drug Company amounted to
the sum of 32. During October following
the sales quadrupled In volume. During
the next month Herplclde to the amount
of 31490 was sold by the manufacturers.
Since November, 1S39, each month has
noted a very large Increase over tho
sales of the previous month. Today tho
remody Is advertised in 23 states, the
mediums used comprise 61 dally papers
and 55 weeklies and It Is an article of
general use Just as much as Is Castoria,
Sozodont, or any of the other standard
preparations of the East which are rec
ommended for general use by the best
physicians everywhere.
To Professor Unna, tho recognized
European authority on skin diseases, and
a prominent member of the great chari
ty hospital of Hamburg-, Germany, be
longs the honor of first having
proved conclusively that dandruff is the
direct result of parasitic formation. The
dandruff parasite Itself burrows Its way
to the root of the hair, whsro it destroys
the hair's vitality, with the consequent
formation of dandruff or scurf as it eats
its way Into the hair bulb.
Some time afterwards the celebrated
English physician and scientist. Dr. Ed
ward Blake, published results of his In
vestigations on the subject In the London
Lancet. This Is the leading medical Jour
nal of the English-speaking people. It
was this article that caused Mr. Newbro
to make the initiative research along sci
entific lines for a specific cure of the
dandruff evil. After a year's steady re
search, and exhaustive laboratory ex
perimental effort, he compounded with the
aid of several of the leading skin special
ists of the country a remedy that by
actual experiment really destroys the
dandruff germ, and at the same time ex
erts a healthy stimulating effect on the
hair bulb itself. The boon to humanity
generally from this work of Mr. Newbro
can be best appreciated by the statement
that 99 cases of baldness out of every
100 are duo alone to the ravages of
dandruff.
A little Inquiry In Portland has elicited
the information that Herplclde Is now rec
ommended by the local druggists-and the
local practitioners generally, exclusive of
all other dandruff cures. It is sold by
all druggists. It Is an -lnvigorator and
stimulator of hair growth. It Is found
today In nearly all of tho prominent
homes of the city.
The success which has attended the
efforts of the Newbro Drug Company in
putting this valuable preparation on the
market Is worthy of commendation by the
representative drug establishments every
where. This success simply shows what
can be accomplished by determined ef
forts in the sale of any preparation of
real merit Herplclde Itself Is not only
pleasing in odor and In appearance, but
it Is attractively put up In a bottle of
the highest quality of glass with a special
ground rglass stopper It Is pleasant to
look at. Its effects on the scalp are of the
most soothing nature and it is one of the
few standard preparations on the market
today that will stand the most severe
test from constant use for the specific
purpose fof which it is most strongly
recommended.
EAST SIDE AFFAIRS.
New "Wnler Main on East Burnslde
Street Other Matters.
Foreman Grey, in the employ of the
water committee, ' has made a start to
ward laying water mains on East Burn
slde street between East Eighteenth and
East Twenty-fourth streets. A four-Inch
main Is being put down, but the work
goes forward rather slowly on account of
the storm and the condition of the street.
The planks, which have been down about
four years, are decayed so badly that in
picking up one it falls In two with Its
own weight, 'me pipe line is needed to
supply a large, number of new dwellings
put up on East Burnslde street last and
this year. When this Job 13 finished two
blocks of water mains will be laid on
Belmont street. The six-Inch main on
East Twenty-eighth street is completed
between East Stark street and across
the Sandy road, and houses are being con
nected with service pipes at all points.
This pipe line will cover a wide district
on both sides. The water committee has
been asked to extend the main down to
the Doernbecher factory. That establish
ment Is supplied with well water, but
this source' is not at all satisfactory and
does not furnish tha fire protection want
ed. With the great number of new
streets under improvement the water com
mittee will likely be called on to con
sidered other petitions for water for the
East Side.

California Theater at San Francisco to
night, at least one of their soloists will
be missing. The absent one Is Charles
Wesley, who was the tenor of the organ
ization, and who has become a resident
of Portland.

gagements at the Keith and Proctor vau
