'"?( '"TTpTTt. -? THE SUKDAT OBEGOXIAN, PORTLAND, FEBRUARY 16, 1902. TWEN1Y-FIVE SHILLINGS IV II EAT FREIGHTS ARE STILL KEACUIXG KOIl THE BOTTOM. Jlan; StcnmcrM Headed for I'ortlnnd I'roneh Ilnrlc Mi.sc.s Cliurter Lumber Vessels Coming. Orran freights struck 25 shillings In ?m Francisco e-u?rday, the mammoth --i r'i.: a. which arrived in that port A u:n -Uy. btlnjr chartered to load for t. I :i.tcd Kingdom at that rate. Kss !: 3 i if sent to a direct port. Some Idea t ' t .e rapidity with which freights have i.ned out be slithered from the fact t .at the Andorhina will load at San 2 --.Rils-'X at the yamo time as half a d zin -ther .ships that weio chartered a Uvc wfe earlier at rates ranging from Z tf ., shillings. The biff ship Is owned b Robvrts & Co., who are also owners of th l'ax. which is disengaged in this port Their experience with the Pax has it.n an unpleasant one, and for that rea son they wasted no timo in closing an engagement of the big fhip. She was tho last to arrive of a fleet of 19 disengaged .hlps, and no chances wero taken, on a further decline. The ship Is such a big carr'er that the difference of Is 2d If or dered to a direct port will amount to about 51003, and her charterers will un ? ubledly make an effort to send her direct. As Portland and San Francisco have been on even terms regarding freights K.nce tho opening of the season, it is I robablc that tho next engagement re ported here will bo at tho same rate as that paid the Andorhina. Tho Pax and the Lord Shaftesbury are the only dis engaged ships at Portland, but there are three vers large carriers looking for busi ness on Puget Sound. Two of them, tho Yllhelmlna and ITolimina, are steamers, and tho third, tho British bark "Wan derer, is an Immense carrier, so that tno chances for their charter at an improved ralo aro very remote. The German bark Carl la reported heading this way, and has been offering for a lumber charter. She has carried wheat cargoes from this port, and is a good ship for the busi ness, but In tho absence of wheat busi ness would probably be glad of an op partunity to secure lumber. The West Coast of South America Is a favorite destination for the lumber vessels, as on arrival thero they can secure a fair rato for nitrate Even the rates on, nitrate have declined somewhat, but they are still above a parity with wheat rates out cf northern ports.. Sin Francisco brokers quote lumber rates out of northern ports as follows: Sidney. 3Ss SdHls 3d; Melbourne or Adelaide.

Missnn unit chartkr. French Baric Lea Adelpbes Loser by X7MOO by Failure to Arrive in TI:d. The French bark Los Adelphes missed a 4Kshllllng charter by failure to arrive nt Astoria by sundown last evening. The craft was previously roKrtcd as char tered for January cancellation, but this proved an error, and not until the bar report came latt evening with the tale of a s utherly e-ale and nothing In sight, did her charterers breathe easy. The Les -Vdtlphes It a very small carrier, but the d i liuv in f relphts has been so heavy t ,t her owners are about ?7c00 loser V. her failure to arrive within the sped Hid time. They have made a few thou Far 1 by getting in some extra mileage by s-ordinc; her round from Madagascar by 11 a of Hobnrt. but the loss on the char t r ii 111 more than offset any saving that Jr is been made in this direction. Unless o.J Boreas lets up before the end of the m "th there will be some cheap fchips obtainable, .s half a dozen of them w!U l-"e thIr charters by the end of Feb ruary, and none of them were taken at fgjros sufficiently low to make them at tractive investments with freights in their present demoralized condition. MANY STEAMBKS COMING. Half ji Iloren Hiss Freighters line nt Portland Within Next 00 Dnysi. From present indhations there will be more stenm-shlps in :his. port within the next 30 day.s than eivr before in the same length of time. The first to arrive wi.l be the Norwegian steamship Thyra, ivhlch Is due this morning from San Fran cim to load for the Orient. Follow, ing her will be the Adato, Quito and Oi iar.o. from the Orient. The latter ?-tc amer conies to the Pacific Fxport Lum b r Company to load lumber and flour f -r the Orient and Siberia. The same firm has also addod to Its chnrtcred fleet t..e steamship (Juoen Mary, which is now en route for this port by way of Vancouver. The Quito Is coming to load Government stores and forage, nnd the JWlato will probably take lumber. The Portland & Asiatic liner Indrapura will sail from Yokohama tomorrow, and will get away on the outward trip for the Orient within the next 30 days, and there will be at least oie other steamer for China and Japan in that time. DIUKCT TO MANILA. Snu Frnnelsco to Have a. Line Under Government Patronage. SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 15 Direct com vunlcation between this city and Manila "us been established by the joint action ft the Occidental & Oriental, Pacific Mall ar 1 Toyo Kisen KaJbha Lines, and a scries of sailing dates has been an nounced. They are so arranged that one of the nine steamers belonging to the three cx,-ir.io6 will call at Manila once n nonti- ? Peru, of the Pacific Mall, being schJ-t',i to make the initial trip or March 5 xt. The Chronicle says that these steam ship companies have doubtless been as sured of Government aid, which in this instance proV-.bly means no more than Government ;itronage. G.VIiKS OFF TIIK COAST. Heavy "Weather Ibiiconntcred Off Co lumbia nnd Cnpe Flattery. A strong southerly gale, with rain and fog. was reported off the mouth of the r.vcr last evening, and there were no arrivals or departures. Thore arc about a doscn ships due at Portland, and near ly as many at Puget Sound and British Columbia ports, and some anxiety will be felt for the safety of some of them until they are all accounted for. The t'rriflc weather which has been experl- enccd along the coast this month has 1 been strictly Impartial so far as Puget Sound was concerned, for a big fleet of vessels was reported off Cape Flattery several days ago. unable to make port, while tho sliip which dia get In was over three weeks making Port Townsend after sighting Cape Flattery. The schooner Umbrina, which reached Victoria In a disabled condition, tells a story of storms which may well cause alarm for the ships in the track of the gale which came so near finishing the seaier. Her experience, as related by the Victoria Colonist, is as follows: "The schooner sailed from Hesquoit February 2. When she stood out from Hesquoit and en countered the southeaster, the schooner was close-hauled, and, with closely reefed storm sails. Captain Haan worked his vessel southward, with the gales blowing almost continually from tho southeast to the south-southwest. After a few days tho sealers got a slant from the west ward, and they worked the schooner couth to the latitude of the Columbia River, with their storm sails reefed continuous ly, the mainsail only being set for two hours during the entire 11 days since the vessel left Hesquoit. Off the Columbia CELEBRATE THE ?f - . ' V-- . --' r , . jfffsiffirfRffffflrfiipra3&?' y' MR, AND MTIS. HEXRT ALLEIV. SALTSJr. Feb. 13. Mr. and Mrs Henry Allen celebrated their jtolden wedding at their homo near Sllverton Friday. Febru ary 14, 1002. The descendants of this well-known couple, and a large number of neighbors and friends gathered at the Al len home early in the day, nnd accepted once more of the hospitality, which Is characteristic of this pioneer family. Mr. Allen was born In Tennessee In 182S. At the ae of 7 years he removed with his parents to Illinois, where he grew to manhood. In 1S49 he came to tho gold mines of California and two years later returned home by iJay of Nicaragua and New Orleans. In 1S52, ho was married to Miss Frances E. Itockwood, and the same -.ear tho youn couple crossed tho plains to Oregon. Mrs. Allen was born In Pike County, 111., In 1833. Mr. and Mrs. Allen came to Oregon with a party which also Included Mr. Allen's parents, four sisters and one brother. The family arrived In Salem In the Fall, and after spending tho Winter here, located on a farm near Sllverton the next Spring. They have made that vicinity their home ever since, and have been counted among tho most esteemed resldnts of Marlon County. They have five children: T. D. Allen, Mrs. L. F. Mascher and Miss Delia Allcn of Sllverton; R. D. Allen, of Salem, and H. I.. Allen, of Bakr City. These five, with 10 grandchildren, two jjreat-grandchildren, were among tho-ie present at the celebration of tho golden wedding. There were also present the surviving members of Mr. Allen's father's family. Mrs. Al. Coolldge. and Mrs. T. R. Blackerby. of Silver-ton. the southeast gale blew as hard as ever, and the schooner was driven back to the vicinity of Gray's Harbor. The seas were running to a tremendous height, but the Umbrina, being a good sea vessel and her master a good seaman, the schooner rode well and was fairly dry notwith standing the storm. On the 9th she was worked southward again, and on tho morning of the 11th was being buffetted by the ever-raging southeast gale, about SO miles off the Columbia River. She was hove to on the port tack because of the Increased violence of the storm, which was by this time ratfng with awful fury. The schooner rode the great seas well, and It seemed that she would safely weather the storm, when, without a mo ment's wanting, a sea lifted Itself high in air almost alongside the windward side of the schooner, and, with a great crash, tons of water thumped down on the ves sel's deck amidships, smashing ome of ti! canoes to matchwood and damaging others so greatly that they will be use Jess, while others suffered in a minor way. About 1C or IS feet of the bulwarks was carried away, nine stanchions wrenched and broken from their place. Tbo covering board was lorn away from the outside planking, leaving a gaping hole, through which the water rufched Into the schooner's hold, until it was swish ing about to the depth of a foot or more. The gale from the southeast continued without interruption, and, running under reefed storm sails before it. the schooner was off the entrance to the Straits on Wednesday night, and yesterday morning she. was abreast of Ncah Bay. A fleet of a dozen or more sailing vessels were seen about SO ' or 90 miles off Cape Flattery, all under close-reefed sails, and all un able to make the Straits with the storms still raging from tho southeast. It was blowing heavily when the schooner came up the Straits, and the falling barometer Indicated another gale outside." MOIII2 LUMRER CARRIERS. Star of Germany and Forest Home Hench. Portland Yesterday. The British ship Star of Germany and the schooner Forest Home, both under charter to the Eastern Lumber Company, arrived up from Astoria yesterday morn ing. This makes three of the deep-water fleet now loading by the Eastern Lumber Company, and the combined carrying ca pacity of the trio is'about 4,000.000 feet of lumber. From present Indications, lum ber shipments from Portland for 1902 will break all former records, for not only are there more foreign cargoes going out than ever before, but the business to coastwise points is also very heavy. Inw addition to the numerous sailing craft en gaged In the traffic, there are more steam schooners in the trado than at any pre vious time. The Fulton- and Lakme are making regular trips hero for lumber, and yesterday the steamer Acme sailed from San Francisco for this port to load back with lumber. Astoria Mnrlne Notes. ASTORIA. Or.. Feb. 15. It has not yet been decided by what means the reports from the observatory at North Head will be transmitted to this city, as the Weath er Bureau has now no cable across the river. Weather Forecaster Beals, who has charge of the matter, will try to se cure the use of the telephone cable and send the reports by telegraph. The American bark Harry Morse, which has been chartered by the Alaska Fish ermen's Packing Company to take sup plies to its Bristol Bay cannery. vlll go on the berth in San Francisco March 3. A partial cargo of supplies will be loaded there, and then the vessel will come to Astoria to complete her cargo. October Ship Arrives Ont. The German ship Mabel RIckmers, the first of the October grain fleet to report out from Portland, passed Prawle Point Thursday, after a good run of 123 days from this port. The Placilla, from Puget Sound, arrived at Falmouth last Mon day, making the run In 111 days, the best passage that has been made from Puget Sound this season, nnd one which will materially aid In helping out the average of the ships from that port. Three Oc tober ships have arrived out from San Francisco, but the best passage made by any of thorn was 12S days. The Septem ber ships from Portland have all arrived out. RlK Denl of an OH Trust. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 15. The Post this evening says: Resultant upon extensive operations carried on in development work by an exploration and prospecting organization formed IS months ago by Joseph A.

Their food is selected with the greatest care, for fear it will upset the stomach. As a result, the patient becomes pale and thin, the nerves are weakened and the blood becomes impure. Nature intended the stomach to be strong, but if it has become weak the Bitters will strengthen it and restore it to its proper condition. It has been doing this very thing for over fifty years, and will certainly not fail you now. Take a dose before meals and then eat what you please. It will aid the stomach in its work of digestion and assimilation, and prevent Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Constipation and Biliousness. Try it and see for yourself. Schulenberg, Tex. Dear Sirs: I had stomach trouble and nothing gave me relief until I tried your Bitters. I cheerfully recommend it. to all sufferers. F. KUBISTEK.

Farm ers from all parts of tho Walla Walla Valley were In town today comparing notes on the effects of the severe weather. Those from the foot of the mountains and south, in Umatilla County, are unani mous in the opinion that no damage was done. Eureka Flat farmers are mixed. Those from the Upper Flat report that all grain is killed, and reseeding Is necessary From the MIddIo and Lower Flat the re ports of loss are small. From the Dry Creek and Touchet Hill regions, the re ports are of considerable loss on the north and cast hillsides, where the winds swept off tho snow, and the ground froze hard. Early sown wheat Is badly hurt In those regions, and much reseeding will have to be done. A number of old farm ers declare it Is too early to tell tho extent of the- damage. They recall that threo years ago much wheat which was supposed to be all right died from the ef fects of the hard freeze, and they expect the same outsome this year. It is esti mated by conservative observers that fully one-fourth of the wheat fields will have to be reseeded. Farmers complain of the scarcity of labor. McRrlde Arrives on Inspection Tour. Governor McBrlde, accompanied by the State Board of Control, arrived today to Inspect the state penitentiary. They are quartered with Warden J. B. Catron. They expect to leave for Vancouver Monday.

The re ceipts of the South Bend station of the Northern Pacific for the month of January were $9000 more than for the corresponding month last year, and this Increase was more than kept up last year. It Is ex pected that the traffic on the South Bend branch next month will compel another train to be put on to handle the freight. By that ti-me all of the shingle mills will have started up and it will be impossible for the present train to handle the busi ness. MEDICOS DIP INTO LAW. W'. W. Cotton Lectures Before Stu dents' Assoclntlon. The Students' Association of the medi cal department of the University of Ore gon hold a regular monthly meeting last evening at .the medical college.
