THE SUNDAY OREGONIAS, V'OTLA2Wf MABCH 23, 1902. IX POOR DEMAND FOR SHIPS DOVBXBY HALT, IS UNABLE TO SE CURE A CHARTER. Gvrydyr Cantle Goci to Callao at a. Low Rate Steamer for Upper Snake Marine Notes. The British ship Dovenby Hall entered nt the Custom-House yesterday "with a full Antwerp cargo, consisting of 11,100 casks of cement, 795 cases of preserves, 325 cases of mineral water and 25 cases of bottled beer. She will commence discharg ing tomorrow. As yet the vessel has not been chartered, but she was offering yes terday at 26s 2d, with no takers. The Lord Shaftesbury has temporarily withdrawn from the market, so the Dovenby Hall Is the only spot ship now available for wheat, and she Is In poor demand. The British bark Gwydyr Castle, previously reported for wheat loading on Puget Sound, goes to Callao at lEs Gd. This rate at first glance would seem to be very lowj but when it is considered that the vessel will be at a west coast port handy for a good nitrate freight, it Is apparent ly more satisfactory than 25 or 26s 3d would be for the United Kingdom. The freight situation in San Francisco shows no improvement and Is thus reviewed by the San Francisco Commercial' News: "The fixture of the Dunstaffnage at 22s, less 6d direct, marks the lowest point reached in grain freights; but the carry ins capacity of the vessel Is such that but few European ports can absorb, a cargo as large as she will take out. With a limited range of ports in which to sell, the rate is equivalent to 22s 6d for han-dler-sIZed tonnage. Five vessels are laid up in Richardson's Bay to await new crqp, two Frenchmen about due have been fixed at 22s 6d, and a number of ves sels have either 'been diverted from this coart, or have accepted lumber engage ments, rather than take the low grain rates olTerlng. all of which makes plausi ble the statement that freights have reached bottom. However, there are French bounty-fed vessels here or close by that must be kept moving, and a French proverb, also, to the effect that the impossible always happens. TPPER SNAKE NAVIGATION. LiCivlKton People May Rnle n Snb nldy for a Small Steamer. The matter of navigating the Upper Snake River Is again before the people of Lewlston. The Fargo Mining Company Is behind the movement, and is anxious to have a boat built to enable It to get the product of its mines out to market. The Lewlston Teller has the following regarding the scheme: "The Fargo Company will subscribe SSOOO cash of the 515,000 needed to build and equip the boat, if the citizens of Lewlstcn will subscribe the remainder, $7000. Ho further agreed to lease the boat when completed -and pay 10 per cent on the In vestment and wanted an option to buy up the whole stock .within 18 months and pay 10 per cent for the use of the money subscribed by Lewlston citizens. The bus iness men looked favorably on the propo sition, and a committee composed of Mathew Scully, R. C. Beach, E. D. Lively and G. "W. Thompson was appointed to raise the funds. "In discussing details, Mr. Lively said that he had visited Wenatchee, "Wash., to see Louis Pacquet, who is building a steamer there, and had received a pro posal from him to build a 125x25 boat with cabin for $53000. Mr. Pacquet agrees to have such a boat complete in 60 days. The machinery will cost about $S000, and with equipment about $1000 more. Mr. Lively returned Saturday from Jennings, ilont., where he had examined the steamer J. T. Farrell, built and operated on the "Kootenai River, but "now aban doned and for sale, because of railroad competition. He thought the machinery was of sufficient power to operate on the river here, and secured a favorable option on the boat." CITY OF SEATTLE GOES AGROUND. Engines Refused to "Vork "While Landing? at Vancouver. VANCOUVER, B. C. March 22. The steamer City of Seattle, on her arrival here from Skagway this morning, got beyond control as she was swinging in toward the wharf. The machinery stuck, the reverse lever being, as the engineers explained, caught on the dead center. When Captain Nicholson saw it was im possible for him nqt to run through half a dozen small tugs and scows, he turned the boat to port and started ahead with the engines at full speed. The steamer's bow went completely through the Albion Iron "Works wharf, and on the other side knocked a couple of sloops out of her course. She tried to back, but was held fast, her nose being in only six feet of water and her forefoot was aground. The vessel backed off with the rising tide at 2:15 this afternoon, and left for Seattle this afternoon, apparently very little damaged. Captain Nicholson, in an Interview, stated that he was at the wheel himself. He rang for reverse, and a -moment later the engineer spoke throsgh the tube that the machinery would not reverse. The pis. tous simply got In such a position that they would not move. The captain then tried to swing the vessel, and the ship went aground at right angles to where she was when the engine refused to work. The captain applied to the Collector of Customs to allow- the steamer Queen, now due here, to pull the Seattle off, but the Collector declined, agreeing to lay the circumstances before the department. The Canadian law is explicit that only a Canadian towboat can be used. WRECKED IN RHIO STRAITS. Dutch Steamer Bcrandnn Foundered "With Probable Loss of Life. VICTORIA, B. a, March 22. News was brought of the lots of the steamer Ber andan, a Dutch vessel of 312 tons. She foundered In Rhio Straits February 5. The Berandan met with heavy weather, and a heavy sea came in over the bows, causing her to sink almost immediately. There was absolutely no time to get the boats out. The chief engineer, who, with the rest of those below, ifad come on deck when It was inevitable that the ves sel could not live, was thrown into the water, and after 10 minutes' immersion came to one of the boats floating bottom up. He swam towards It and with the help of some of the native crew who were clinging to it, managed to right it. Several of the natives got into the boat and bailed her out and then picked up the remainder. Shortly afterwards they came to the chief officer and more of the crew clinging to another capsized boat. Help was given and. this boat was then ngnieo. ami experiencing heavy weather they made the best of their way to Pulau "Banks. The G. G. Mayer was there and brought them to Singapore. A Dutch steamer has gone to the place of the dis aster to search for any trace of Captain Julian and any others of the crew that burvive. Sixteen of them, as well as the captain, are missing at present. RECORD-BREAKER IN PORT. German Ship Carl Cronned Pacific In Tramp Steamer Time. The German ship Carl is at Campbell's dock, discharging ballast. Captain Hash agen, who is pretty well known in this port, was yesterday receiving the con gratulations of his friends on the record breaking passage made by his fine ship. Twenty-one days is considered pretty fair time for some of the steamships that come across the Pacific With one or two ex ceptions, the Carl showed no astonishing bursts of speed On any single day, but the entire passage was a succession of good runs. The greatest day's run was S10 mile. The Selkirkshire, which held the record previous to this trip, made a run of 330 miles ia a single day on her iast passage, and covered nearly 1500 miles in five days. She fell down after that, how ever, and was 21 days and 18 hours In making the voyage. The Carl has never loaded a cargo of lumber, and Is not pro vided with bow ports for receiving it. She will probably have ports cut before she commences loading, as It Is not very handy loading lumber through the small hatches of a sailing vessel. ReHcae of a Shipwrecked Crevr. NORFOLK, Va., March 21-Captain Guarcy and the crew of 23 men of the Spanish steamer Ea, which stranded and went to pieces oit Cape Lookout last Sat urday, reached Norfolk this afternoon, and left on the Old Dominion Line for New York, from where they will ship for Spain. The credit for saving the lives of the captain and crew la due to Captain Coley, df the wrecking tug Merrltt, of this city. In order to get at the men the Merrltt towed the members of the life-saving crew to the windward of the wrecked steamer and let go, the etorm driving them in the way of the vessel. Twelve of the crew were then taken off and towed to the Merrltt. This was done the second time, the boat being almost swamped beneath the waves and finally the remaining members were saved. There the Spaniards, not having eaten or drank for four nights and three days, were given food and water and warm cloth ing. All were nearly frozen and half dead from expobure. Bargre Banlacaa Active. Commodore Dan Moore, of he Oregon Round Lumber Company, has a portion of his fleet of barges engaged at present In bringing to Portland a big order of ties which are shipped to Alamo Gordo, N. M., to be used in the construction of a Mexican railroad. Lightering and barg ing as a specialty Is something compara tively new in this port, but this company has worked up the business until It now has constantly employed the barges Col umbia, Defender, Uncle Sam. Wilcox. Sandy and Fuller, together with one or two tugs used In towing them around. Upwards of 50 men are employed at times on this fleet, and the business has grown quite rapidly. In all of the older sea ports of the countrj'i companies of this kind are quite common, but It is com paratively new business in Portland, nnd has expanded quite rapidly from a small beginning. The Vendee' Rcpnlrs. Bids were opened In this city yester day for the repair of the damaged top mast of the French bark Vendee, now in port. There were five bidders, but the amounts were not made public. It is ru mored, however, that the figures ran over a range of from about 55000 to nearly J9000. The award was not made. and. as has been the case with every French vessel that came here In trouble, ugly rumors have crept out, and there Is a possibility that the Vendee case will prove similar to that of the Asle. Portland has been get ting an unenviable reputation for peculiar work in connection with ship repairs, and by a singular coincidence nearly all of the trouble Is over French ships. Burning Vesnel Sighted. WASHINGTON. March 22. Chief of the LIfe-Saving Service Kimball today re ceived a telegram from Kitty Hawk, N. C, stating that the keeper of the Oregon Inlet life-saving station reports a vessel on fire about 15 miles southeast of the station. The keeper further reports that he saw a steamer pass the station at day light this morning, and this is believed to be the vessel that is on fire. La Bourgone Damage Salts. NEW YORK, March 22. Judge Town send, in the United States -District Court today, decided that the French Line Steamship Company Is not liable for pre paid freight or for claims for death aris ing from the loss of the ship La Bour gone, July 4, 1898. The decision was on a petition by the company for a, limita tion of its liability. Small Steamer Lout. VANCOUVER, B. C, March 22. The steamer City of Seattle, from Skagway, today brought news of the probable loss of the little steamer Alice. In Mlllbank Sound, Thursday night. The Alice was In tow of the Neptune and broke loose from the latter during .the night. Next morn ing no trace of the steamer could be found and it is thought she was lost. French. Emigrant Coming. HAVRE. March 22. Owing to the great number of emigrants awaiting transpor tation to the United States, the French Line steamer La Bretagne, in addition to the La Savoy, will sail for New York to night with 1400 passengers. Five hundred others remain here, owing to lack of ac commodations. Marine Notes. The German steamship Theodor Wille arrived in yesterday, after a slow passage from Tsintau. She will come up the river today and will load lumber at th Eastern Lumber Company's mill. Captain Shotten, formerly of the Oceano. will take command of the new steamship Jeserlc, of the Weir Line. The vessel Is of 3115 tons' net register, and is now on her maiden trip from Glasgow to New York. Captain Shotten left Portland Thursday night. Captain Mclntyre tak ing command of the Oceano Wednesday.

Commissioner Hermann and Profes sor Deller Strongly Recommend the Passage of the Measure. WASHINGTON, March 15. Once more Representative Tongue's bill to create the Crater Lake Park has been favor ably reported by the committee on pub lic lands, and again It takes its place on the House calendar. The report this year Is made by Representative Moody, a member of the committee, who called the bill up, and secured its favor able consideration. Ia his report for the committee. Representative Moody says: "The purpose of this bill is to reserve from the public lands within the State of Oregon, as a National park, that cer tain tract bounded on the north by parallel 0:43:04 north latitude, on the south by 0:42:48 north latitude, on the east by meridian 0:122:00 west longitude, and on the west by the meridian 0:122:16 west longitude, embracing in all 249 square miles, or about 159,300 acres. The area Included within the proposed park is situated in the Cascade Moun tain Range in Southern Oregon, and docs not embrace in its limits any agricul tural lands; the altitude Is from GOOO to SO00 feqt above sea level. While a large part of the tract Is covered with timber. It is not of a character suitable for lumber, most of It being what Is known as lodge-pole pine and of very little commercial value. "Near the center of the proposed park Is 'situated Crater Lake, which Is con ceded by all who have visited it to be one of the greatest scenic wonders In the United States, If not in the known world. Increasing numbers of scientists visit it from year to year for the pur pose of making additional Investigations, and all of them regard it as one of the greatest natural wonders of our country- The people of the West, as well as tourists, with one accord join the scientists in the wish that this grand work of nature may be preserved In Its original beauty for the instruction and pleasure of all whd may desire to visit It. "There are no settlers within the lim its of the proposed park; hence Its estab lishment wpuld In no way Interfere with any vested or squatters' rights, and for this reason It is desirable that the pro posed park be authorized at an early day. "Another argument In favor of such action Is the fact that the park would be easily accessible by means of roads already constructed. "We are fully satisfied that the land designed to be set aside for the purpose contemplated by this bill is of such a character that It can not be utilized for agricultural purposes, nor with profit for any purpose of trade whatever, but Is chiefly valuable for the purpose for which the proposed act seeks to appro priate it." " Embodied in the" report is a letter In dorsing the bill, written by Commissioner Hermann, of the General Land Office, in which he says: "The bill seems to me to be admirable in all Its features. The boundaries pro posed have heretofore been suggested at various times as the proper limitations for the preservation of the area about Crater Lake. I think It Important that this locality should be reserved and pro tected, on account of Its great natural wonders and beauties and the constantly Increasing Interest that Is being manifest ed by the people in regard to it." The Secretary of the Interior and other Government officials also favorably rec ommend the passage of the bill. Per haps the most interesting suggestion is that made by Professor J. S. DIHer. of the Geological Survey, who has several times visited the Crater Lake region. He says: "Crater Lake should be made a Na tional Park because it possesses Ih a high degree all of the essential features nec essary to make a park of importance to the Nation. It Is one of our greatest natural wonders, and in every way favor ably situated for a healthful and Instruct ive pleasure resort of the people. The beauty and majesty of the scenery are indescribable, but the order of its Im presslveness Is like that of the Niagara Falls, the Yosemlte Valley, the grand canyons of the Colorado and the Yellow stone, and yet It Is wholly unlike any of these. The lake Is nearly circular, with an average diameter of about five miles. It is deeply set in the summit of the Cas cade Range at an altitude of over GOOO feet above the sea. "There is no visible outlet through the completely encircling cliffs, ranging from 500 to 2000 feet in height. The water is a rich ultramarine blue, and embraces a beautiful conical Island, a perfect little volcano, whose deep green, pine-covered slopes are in strong contrast with the en circling lake an dthe 20 miles of enclos ing cliffs. "The outer slopes of the rim are gentle, well wooded and watered, and diversified with beautiful vales, affording an es pecially Inviting place of resort during the Summer to enjoy the scenic beauties of the lake and the healthful and Invig orating air of the mountain summit. It thus appears that this great natural won der Is so favorably surrounded as to strongly recommend its being made a Na tional Park or pleasure ground for the benefit of the people. In fact, the place Is already a well-recognized resort for Summer campers. As many as 500 per sons are known to have visited the lake In one season, notwithstanding the hard ships attending the trip, due to lack of proper -conveyance apd place of enter tainment at the lake. It Is especially de sirable that the region be made a park with proper facilities for the preservation and enjoyment of its beauties. - "Beautiful and majestic as its scenic features are, the lake and its surround ings have a geological history that is even more attractive, and If made a National Park, and published to the world as fur nished with facilities for study and en tertamment, it would doubtless attract many scientific tourists and contribute in no small measure to the prosperity of tho region, as well as o the general Informa tion of the country at large. "For the preservation of these natural features, and especially the timber. It is not only desirable but necessary that the region be made a National Park with regulations which provide more fully for Its care than Is afforded In a simple tim ber reserve. The ravages of fire In that region are very great, and proper protec tion can be obtained only by special meas ures. "The Crater Lake region Is well situated for a park, but is unfit for any other purpose. It contains no agricultural land. for at an average altitude of nearly 7000 feet It Is far above the limit of cereals. It Is well timbered, but the timber Is of no value for lumber. Its rocks are all fresh lava and contain nothing whatever of value to the miner. "Making the region a National park, therefore, would In no way conflict with the Interests of the farmer, the miner, or the lumberman, but on the other hand It would be a public benefaction In calling attention to and preserving one of those great natural features, an Increasing ap preciation of which does 60 much for the pleasure and general advancement of our people." Nevr Field of Endeavor. New York Press. Recently one of the foremost honkins houses In this city, whose affairs are of such magnitude as to Interest the general public, employed at a. salarv df 2o.om n year an able young man to represent It famonc other things) before the tires of the country. This young man does not write anything; it is simply his business to meet representatives of newspapers and say to them that which should be said, and to withhold from them that which should be withheld. Hitherto It had been difficult for a reporter to worm any Bort of information out of the house. Its old and conservative members leaned back on their dignity and refused to take the public Into their confidence. To their way of thinking, what they did was BP concern of the people. Time was when this view was the accepted one among all bankers, merchants, financiers and the military, and a great many fossillferous magnates cling to It still. Tho progressive men of this day, however, yield to the Inevitable conclusion that the newspapers are bound to get the news, and will have It even If they have to manufacture it some of them. The decent papers often have to accept second-hand statements, which are too often wrong in detail. Leading men of affairs, therefore, tak ing the bull by the horns, are giving first-hand statements through personal representatives. In time, following this excellent example, every great house will talk with the press through Its desig nated employe, or member, perhaps. And the man In this position who pleases the press with approachableness and his firm with secretlveness will render himself In valuable. If all leading business houses were to make a point of telling the truth, and nothing but the truth, to reporters, there would be an end of guessing at facts, er roneous statements and next-day correc tions. If a firm has nothing to say, let it speak with frankness and truth. It is the effort to mislead newspapers that causes all this backing and filling. PARROTS AS ACTORS. The Kind of Which President Roose velt Has One Are "Wonderful. Nature. The capacity of the gray parrot for repeating words and sentences of human language and for Imitating the cries and sounds made by other animals, both beasts and birds. Is well known- The remarkable aptitude which this parrot shows for "saying the right thing at the right time" is also, I believe, well known to those who have been familiar with intelligent specimens of the bird. But I was not until recently aware that the bird can be not only an excellent mimic, but also a good actor, and it is possible that some of your readers may be able to give other Instances of what I now pro pose, with your permission, to relate. My daughter had a very clever gray parrot, which, unfortunately, died on the 1st of this month, after a severe ill ness of three weeks' duration. He was brought to my daughter straight from the nest in Africa, and had he lived another month would have been about two years old. He was a singularly clever bird, and of a charming disposition to his friends, though very shy and inclined to be hostile to strangers. .He was an ex ceptionally good talker for his age, and showed remarkable Intelligence In fitting his sayings to the occasion. He was very fond of both fruit and sugar, but I never knew him to ask for sugar at dinner or for apple at breakfast. For nuts, which were kept In a cupboard In the room, he would ask at any time, and In many similar ways he showed a vivid associa tion between the words and the things represented by them. But the remarkable, and, to me, novel, power which he displayed at so young an age was that of acting. He played with a bit of wood exactly as a clever little girl plays with her doll. For example, he would take the wood In his claw and would say to It, Imitating the voice and gestures of my daughter or of one o.f the servants: "What, are you going to' bite me? How dare you? I will take the stick to you!" Then he would shake his head at the wood and say, "I am ashamed of you! Whom did you bite? Go on your perch! " Then he would take the wood to the bottom of his cage, put ting it down on the floor, would hit it with his claw several times, saying, "Naughty! I'll cover you up, 1 will!" Then he would step back from it one or two paces, put his head on one side and say, as he looked at It, "Are you good now?" No attempt was ever made, de liberately, to teach him this or any other of his histrionic performances. He picked Vim!
