The French bark Marie has boon char tered to load wheat at this port In No-'ember-December at 2Ss. The vessel at last reports was at Table Bay discharg ing a cargo from Cardiff, and It Is not known whether or not she is cdmlng di rect from the African port or going by way of Hobart, the route taken by the Alice. Marie and Bayonne, reported yes terday. By taking the long way round, the vessel picks up a few thausand dol lars for mileage, butt In case of a decline in freights, stands a chance to lose more through the possibility of missing her canceling 'date. This latter contingency was the cause of the French bark Lea Adelphes losing a fine charter last sea son, the vessel being so long on the way from Hobart that she not only missed her charter, but most of the crew wero nearly dead from starvation when she did reach port. With these constant additions to the en route list, the freight situation is any thing but strong just at present. The seamship Folmlna was reported fixed for San Francisco loading yesterday at 27s 6d, which is the lowest figure reached Elnce last Spring, when the "Wllhelmlna went out from Puget Sound at the same rate. The fact that steamers are willing to accept such low rates so early in the season would indicate that the .possibil ities for still lower rates were not re mote. Sail tonnage on spot In San Fran cisco is offering at SGs. 3d. As there is no good reason for the existence of any dif ferential between San Francisco and Portland, It Is not improbable that the next spot fixture in the north will be at 25s 3d, or lower.

Eldorado Leaves for the Antipodes "With. 1,100,000 Feet of Lumber. The American barkentine schooner El dorado was cleared yesterday by the Portland Lumber Company for Sydney, Australia, with the largest cargo that was ever taken out 'of the port by a vessel of her register. With a net tonnage of but 794, the schooner has aboard 1.067,411 feet of lumber and 2.G54 bundles of lath, amounting in board measure to 39.9S0 feet, making a total cargo of 1,107.391 feet, valued at J13.0GL This big "fore-and-after," carrying as large a cargo as square-riggers of 1300 and 1400 tons reg ister, is operated with a crew about half as large as those employed on the largei vessels. Her cargo compared with that of some well-known lumber vessels is Interesting. The German bark Thallassa, 1339 tons, carried but 1,091,170 feet. The Royal Sov ereign, 133S tons, carried 1,152,262 feet; the German bark Louise. 14S0 tons. LOSO, 643 feet; German bark Blrma, 1346 tons, S92.000 feet; American ship Louisiana, 1343 tons, 1.0S9.462 feet; German bark Pallas, 1331 tons, 1,060.000 feet. All of these square-rigged vessels carried crews of 2: to 2S men, while the crew of the Eldorado numbers but 12 men all told, and the original -cost of the vessel is but little more than one.-h.alf that of the larger ships mentioned.

Fonr Vessels Already Chartered to Carry 1002 Salmon to Europe. So far as reported, but four salmon ships are under engagement for current season loading on the Fraser River. a much smaller number than were taken at Jhls time last year. The pack prom ises to he fully as large as that of last year, but the experience of shippers a year ago has probably caused them to proceed with caution in chartering. Last year nearly all of the ships were taken early at comparatively high rates, ana by the time they got around to load, other vessels were obtainable for a great deal less money. The salmon fleet al ready under engagement includes the British ship Cambrian Hills, now en route for Esquimalt with coal; the German bark Artemis in ballast from Santa Ro salia, British ship Edderside from Port Natal, and Marion Woodside from Table Bay. All of these ships have the option of wheat at a pretty good rate, a clause of this kind nearly always being Inserted In the charter In case of a light salmon catch, which would obviate the neces sity for so many ships. The two ships about duo from South Africa are the nearest to hand, and will probably be the first of the fleet GRAIN TONNAGE EN ROUTE TO PUGET SOUND Kama. Flag and rig. Master. From.

An opportunity for Portland to re-establish Its trade relations with the Ya kima country is, in the opinion of City Auditor Devlin, now open to the city. Mr. Devlin, In company with ex-7Jayor Howe, made a trip to Yakima last week, and, as a result of his observations, he says that the country promises a good trade. In speaking of his trip, he said: "My visit to the Yakima country in Washington was very Interesting to me. I expected to see a country of wonder ful productiveness, but It was a constant surprise. The extent of the territory now covered by irrigating ditches Is far great er than I knew, and the extensive area that it is possible to irrigate, and which probably will be Irrigated within the next few years, makes it one of the most promising of countries. From a desert barren of everything, except sagebrush, it is being made Into a garden of seem ingly unlimited productiveness. Fruit, hay, grain, hops, sugar beets, vegetables of all kinds and of superior quality, grow In great abundance. A day or two be fore we reached there a tract of farm land threo miles from tho City of North Yakima sold for $S0O per acre, and from ?400 to $750 per acre are ruling prices. This land 10 years ago could be purchased for 52 50 per acre, and that was all It was worth. Don't you think that the agri cultural development that can make pos sible such advance? Is Interesting? "But here 13 another fact that may surprise you. The Northern Pacific Rail road takes on and puts off a larger vol ume of freight at North Yakima than at any other point on its line between tho Missouri River and Seattle. Ten acres In that country will support a family. North Yakima is a rich town. Tho people there have money. Nowhere that I have trav eled are the indications of prosperity so noticeable among the farmera. Portland has lost Its former big trade in that country. The trade has gone to Tacoma and Seattle. If you will notice on tho map 'Portland, Tacoma and North fYa klma form the points of almost an equilateral triangle, with the difference in distance. If any, in favor of the line from Portland to North Yakima. Tho people there favor Portland, and a few years ago we had the trade of the coun try. Now only two of our jobbing houses do any business there. A banker there told me that a few years ago he made 10 drafts on Portland to one on Tacoma and Seattle; now it is reversed. "If Portland had any enterprise to bo proud of, it would push Its way into that territory by having a railroad, built throuch by the Cowlitz pass, and event ually reaching the Columbia River. It would open up wonderful resources for this city. I am Informed that such a road would tap the finest coal deposits on the Pacific Coast. I saw soma of the coal, and it Is superior to any other Coast coal I have scej. Tho36 fields are not more than 90 miles from this city. We all know what the advantages of such would be to Portland. The same line would also pass through some of the finest timber in Washington. There is a trade In that country of vast importance to -us, and if once secured in the right way, no conditions can arise to take it from us. But Just in proportion as If Is valuable, it requires enterprise to get it. "Yes, ex-Mayor Rowe went with me, or, rather, I went with him. He always talks for the Yakima country when here and for Portland when there. With Mr. Weed, of North Yakima, he established the first business house in that city. Ho was also the first president of the Yakima National Bank. He has now some prop erty interests there, and the people lay claim to him as one of their own. Ho knows almost everybody there, and Is constantly putting in a word with them for his home city." Temporary Store: Corner Fifth and Yamhill Streets A Backward ' Season Forces While reductions throughout the store on all Summer goods will be most radical, in no instance will the quality suffer. All offerings will be of that worthy and re liable class that has gained for this store the confidence of the people. The prices quoted bear no relation whatever to the true worth of the merchandise, and the store's guarantee of absolute satisfaction goes with every purchase. 31 SCARCITY' OF SAILORS. Fine Weather and Plenty of "Work Ashore Expensive for Shipowners. With plenty of work on shore, and de lightful weather in which to perform It, there Is at present a scarcity of able sea men to handle the ships sailing out of North Pacific ports. The scarcity of men, together with the refusal of ship owners to permit local agents to contract for men at ?53, has resulted in an advance to $75 per head In this port, with some prospects for a further advance. The situation is worse on Puget Sound than it is Jn this port, for a number of ves sels have been lying fully loaded for sev eral days awaiting crews. The Ferdinand Fischer, outward-bound from Port Blake ly with lumber, has been at Port Towns end awaiting a crew since July 4. The American ship St. Francis finished load ing at Vancouver, B. C, a week ago, and has been unable to secure a man at the Canadian port Her skipper states that he will not go to another port until he is sure of securing men, so she Is at an chor in the stream. Fortunately for Portland, ships are not very plentiful just at present, for. If they were, tho scarcity of sailors would result In a tie up that would do the port no good. MORE FEBRUARY SHIPS. Irby and Bertha Report Out, After Long Passages From Tills Port. Two moro of the belated February grain ships from Portland reported out on the other side Friday, tho pair sail ing a very even race from the mouth of the Columbia. The late arrivals were the British ship Irby, which reached Queenstown Friday, after a passage of 140 days from the-Columbia, and the Ger man bark Bertha, which passed the Liz ard the same day. Both vessels sailed from the Columbia February 22. and, in company with them were the Cambrian "Warrior and the Blackbraes, which are still on the way. As a usual thing, when vessels bound from Europe to the Pacific Coast are making slow passages, ships going In the opposite direction are sure of making good runs, but this is not the case this season, for the Sierra Estrella, which sailed from Liverpool .early in Feb ruary, made an unusually long passage to Portland, while none of the outward bound ships from this port have made fast passages.

' ductlon by the closing of many unprofit able works, a rise in prices through scarcity of the supply of metal for the home market, the reduction of American exports' for foreign trade and increased exports from England and Germany to fill the vacuum. Analogy is drawn between iron and steel and ocean traffic, and a forecast is made that a rise In freights through American combinations will involve in creased prosperity for British shipping outside tho central pool.

The Ameri can Line steamer Belgenland, Captain Hill, from Philadelphia July 5, for Queenstown and Liverpool, was towed Into the harbor today by the British steamer Scholar. The Belgenland's shaft is broken. All on board are well. The Scholar was bound from Galveston for Liverpool when she picked up the Bel genland. The latter was expected to ar rive at Queenstown last Wednesday, July 16. The Belgenland has 129 first-class and 74 second-class passengers on board.

Sealing: Schooner Reachea Victoria After at Long; Cruise. The sealing schooner Mary Taylor, the first of the fleet which went to Copper Island last Spring, has returned, reaching Victoria early in the week. She brought 451 skins, fully half of which were taken off the British Columbian and Californlan Coast during the Spring season, which ended on April 30, and whlchf as sealers remember, was very stormy. The great er portion of the remainder of her catch was taken off the "Pup Bank." which lies about half way between this port and Japan. The weather has been very bad on the far-away sealing grounds, and this fact has militated against a large catch. None of the other schooners hunt ing off the Copper Islands have been morning by P. L. Cherry. Lloyd's agent, and it was found that she had not sus tained damage of any consequence from being bumped into by the steamer Har vest Queen, and she will be permitted to go to sea in her present condition. The schooner Webfoot cleared at tho Custom-House today for San Francisco. She has a cargo of 3S3,S25 feet of lumber, loaded at the Knappton mills. One branded skin was taken. Astoria Marine Notes.

In today's Oregonlan under the caption, "Cement Walks or Wood." appear so many glaring mistakes that I consider it but Justice to try and correct It. You state that In E0 feet of six-foot walk the difference between cement and wood Is only $14 50, whereas the true dif ference Js ?26, as wooden walks of that width can be laid for from 35 to 40 -cents per running foot, this including all lum ber, nails and labor. Again you state a plank walk has a life of about seven .years, whereas Its life !k nrfiinnrllv nine years, and In some in stances wooden walks put down 12 and 13 years ago are still In good condition. Having made sidewalks a specialty for nearly 15 ycarfi. I fancy I am competent to speak on the subject, and hope you will afford me space to correct your ar ticle, which I am sure was written under a misapprehension of facts. GEO. S. H. JACKSON, Manager Portland Contract Compans. (The communication of Mr. Jackson was shown to City Engineer Elliott and his deputies yesterday afternoon. Mr. Elliott said that his figures, which had been given off hand, were correct, or nearly so. Other business called Mr. Elliott away and Mr. Scoggin, his chief deputy, looked over the j communication. "Mr. Jackson," said Mr. Scoggin, "has made his calculations on the two extremes the lowest price of lumber and the highest price of cement. Accord ing to his figures there is a great differ ence In tho prices of tho two pavements; according to ours, which are based 'upon bids and the cost of lumber, the prices for lumber and concrete walks is practically the same as the figures given in yester day's Oregonlan.")
