Assorted Cargo Brought by
the Indrapura.
CHINESE FOOD DELICACIES
Big Shipment of Tea and Matting for
Const and Eastern Points Un-
eventful Voyage Across
TV the Pacific.
The steamship Indrapura, of the Port
Ian & Asiatic line, arrived up yesterday
morning -with a full cargo of Oriental
freight, and moored at the O. R. & N.
Company's Albina dock. The cargo is
composed mainly of matting and tea. The
'work of unloading began at noon, and the
eteamer will be given quick dispatch so
ehe may sail on her return trip, If pos
sible, on the scheduled, date, Septem
ber 28.
The Indrapura left Hong Kong August
20, and, after touching sjt Moji and Kobe,
sailed from Yokohama on the 2d lnst.
The voyage across the Pacific was with
out noteworthy Inrldnnt. The flhln'a loe
shows that from the 2d to the 5th she
encountered southeasterly winds, mod
crate to fresh, with fine weather. From
the 6th to the 10th the winds were north
to westerly. There jvas a moderate south
erly gale on the 11th, but it did no dam
age. The latter part of the trip was
made in rainy and misty weather. On
the 13th the American ship Star of Rus
sia, bound from San Francisco to Kar
luk, was spoken in 50:03 north, 157:36 west.'
On the following day a ehlp and a bark
were spoken, but the steamer's officers
did not get their names.
Among the larger items on the Indra
pura's manifest are 500 mats of rice, 7000
rolls of matting and 302 bags of pepper
for San Francisco, 2600 rolli of matting for
Chicago, 1600 cases of tea for Chicago and
St. Paul, 2700 rolls of matting for Colum
hua and Cincinnati, and 103 bales of raw
silk for New York. The miscellaneous
cargo Is composed largely of the peculiar
food eaten by Chinese and is consigned
to Portland and San Francisco Chinese
merchants. This consists, among other
things, of -dried peanuts, dried beans; rice
flour, salted cabbage, tea cakes, dried
ducks, coeoanut oil, nuts, preserves, salt
ed eggs, dried duck gizzards, pickled
onions and dried Illy flowers. The points,
to which the Indrapura's cargo is destined
and the quantities for Bach place are as

toria and 13 Japanese for this city. Of
the latter, seven are classed as farmers,
three ape laborers, one a student, one a
merchant and one an evangelist. Mrs.
Armsdcn, the wife of the chief engineer,
and her 8-year-old daughter, are making

MARINE ENGINEERS' STRIKE.
Men on Ocean Steamers Slay Be
Cnlled Oat.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 20. Marine
engineers on .all boats running to the Co
lumbla'Rlv'er may "Tifc askjbd to resign un
til the engineers on the Upper Columbia
River are granted higher wages. It Is al
leged that Yessel-ownere -whose steamrs
have been running above the "Willamette
have heen underpaylnglteeneed marine en
gineers and have managed to keep wages
down to this scale by employing engin
eers not members of the association. For
this reason there Is to be declared a tie
up of boats below Portland "When the
marine engineers on" the upper river
stopped work a few weeks ago the marine
engineers on all other steamers running
to Portland offered to leave work with
them. At the time, it was not believed
necessary to broaden the trouble, as
there was no complaint about the wages
paid on big steamers going to Portland.
But the owners of the upper river boats
havo managtd to find marine engineers
not members of the association willing to
take the places of the men who have re
signed. This has changed the situation,
end, in the opinion of the leaders of the
association in this city and Portland,
made a general tie-up necessary.
(At the headquarters of the Marine En
gineers' Association in Portland nothing
Is known .of the intention to call out the
men on the ocean steamers. These men
are not under the jurisdiction of the local
association, hut receive their orders from
the National president of the union. If it
has been decided to extend the strike to
the deep-water men, the Portland offi
cials have not been advised of that fact)
DREDGE ENGINES TESTED.1
Preliminary Trial Shoirs Satisfac
tory Results.
The engines supplied by the "Willamette
Iron "Works to the Port of Portland. Com
mission's' new dredge were given a pre
liminary trial yesterday, and Ihey fully
came up to expectations. Steam was
turned on at noon, and for a good part
of the afternoon the machinery was given
a thorough test. During 15 or 20 minutes
the engines were run at high speed, and
their work was well-nigh perfect Mem
hero of the commission and officials of
the Iron works who had gathered aboard
tho dredgo at the foot of Everett street
declared they were perfectly satisfied with
the showing macfe. All the material for
the dredge's pumps Is not on hand. The
castings have arrived, but other parts of
tho machinery have not yet been shipped.
All, however, is expected to he in readi
ness in two weeks for the trial trip.
GRAINHANDLERS' STRIKE.
Trouble at Tncoma Settled Satisfac
torily to All Concerned.
Alfred Sutton, manager of the North
"western "Warehouse Company at Tacoma,
arrived in the city yesterday morning to
take the place for two or three days of
the Portland manager, T: "W. Smith, who
"was called suddenly to San Francisco,
owing to the dangerous illness of his
youngest brother.
Regarding the strike of the gralnhand
lers at Tacoma, Mr. Sutton said that the
difficulties had now been settled satis
factorily to all concerned. The men are
to receive 30 cents an hour for day work.
For night work new gangs will be em
ployed at the day rate. The exporters
agree to give preference to competent
men without discrimination, and in the
event of unipn and nonunion men apply
ing for work at the same time, tne" dock
superintendent will be the sole Judge as.
to competency.

been engaged in investigation of affairs in
public offices, and the Jails and public
Institutions have been Inspected. There
have also been several criminal matters
directed to the attention of the grand
Jury, but the work of the body In this
line will be very light because the Dis

COUNTRY SCHOOLS TO OPEN
Plan to Hare Rural High. Schools
Gains in Favor.
Nearly all of the country schools which
have not already begun work for the en
suing Winter will open their doors tomor
row morning. The Gresham School, un
der A. F. Hershner, of Corvallls, tho
school at Terry and district No. 4S, near
the Sandy, are among this number.
Though the attendance is not particular
ly large as yet it Is evident that many
parents have not yet entered their chil
dren, and that when all these are In the
registration will attain reeord-breaklng
figures. The idea of rural high schools,
promulgated at the institute held here re
cently. Is receiving considerable attention
by the school officers. Something has al
ready been done in this line, for the Rus
sellvllle School has a ninth grade, while a
10th grade may be added to the nine ex
isting grades of the school at Gresham.
The regular work reaches only to the
eighth, and the two higher grades have
been added to give the ambitious coun
try children some of the advantages
which their city cousins enjoy.
The first week of the term for the city
schools ended Friday last and the at
tendance on that day was 10,509, as com
pared with 10.2S9 for the corresponding
week last year. More children are in the
country now, picking hops, than usual,
and when these have returned, as they
are just beginning to do, the schoolhouses
will find their capacity severely taxed.
The highest number of pupils attending
the city public schools at any time last
year was 11,259, but that number will
doubtless be greatly Increased this Win
Cholera Morbus.
This Js an extremely dangerous disease.
In almost every neighborhood some one
has died from It and In many instances
before a physician could be summoned
or medicine obtained. Mrs. E. H. Delano,
of Durant, Mich., is subject to severe at
tacks of cholera morbus. During the past
four years she has kept at hand a bottle
of Chamberlain's Colic. Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy, and says it has always
fiven her quick relief. During this time
she has used two bottles of It This
remedy can be depended upon in the most
severs and dangerous cases. The safe way
is to keep it at hand, ready for instant
use. For sale by all druggists.

TO BEGIN RAIL-LAYING
COLUMBIA RIVER & KOHTHEItt"
HAS FINISHED GRADING.
Equipment for the Iiyle-Goldenilnle
Line Is on the Way Road to Be
in Operation ly January.
"Work on the Columbia River & North
ern, from Lyle to Goldendale, haa reached
the stage at which rail-laying will soon
begin. Of the entire 42 miles of the line,
25 have been graded and considerable of
the, remainder has been graded In part and
needs only finishing up. Rock work In
cuts and fills is now keeping the construc
tion gangs busy. A large shipment of
rails has been received from Hamburg,
Germany, and the work of track-building
will be commenced in a. few days. A
second shipment of 2000 tons of rails will
arrive on the Hollyrood In about 15 days.
General Manager H. C. Campbell yes
terday received information that the
equipment for the road will leave Chicago
this week. The equipment consists of
two locomoUves, two passenger cars and
53 freight cars, which will be sufficient for
the needs of the road for the next few
years. Mr. Campbell, Is also Informed
that three grain warehouses, each 60 by
150 feet, have been constructed along the
line of the road, and that one of these
will be enlarged 50 feet to meet the needs
of the business tributary to it. As therte
are now no railroad facilities in the Klick
itat "Valley, and the farmers and lumber
men must do all their freighting by team
to Grants or The Dalles;, the progress of
construcUon of the new road is a mat
ter of no small Interest to the residents
of Goldendale and the rest of the Valley.
The road will be In operation about the
first of the year.
together the working of these laws as re
cited In Secretary Hay's circular note was
to deprive the Jews In Roumanla of near
ly all opportunity to earn an honest living
and find honorable employment. These
facts will doubtless be enlarged upon If
the Roumanian Government undertakes
to Impeach the statement contained in
the Jewish note.
Austria in a Skeptical Mood.
VIENNA. Sept. 20. The protest of the
United States on behalf of the Jews In
Roumanla was received In official circles
here with mlncled feelings. It la ad
mitted that the position of the United
States Is a just one, but the conditions in
the Balkan States now and at the time
of the signing of the treaty are two dif
ferent matters. It is expected that the
powers will Instruct their representatives
at Bucharest to , furnish information as
to the present condition of the .Rouman
ian Jews. The authorities here also are
anxious to ascertain definitely what meth
ods the Roumanian Government proposes
to adopt to secure the enforcement of the
industrial law, the enactment of which
has been responsible for Increased Jew
ish Immigration from Roumanla. In tho
meanwhile Austrian officials are skeptical
of any good resulting from the Interven
tion of the United States.

NEW YORK, Sept. 20. An official of
one of the leading trunk line railroads Is
quoted by the Journal of Commerce as
expressing the belief that In th'e near
future the railroads of the country, par
ticularly those reaching the Atlantic sea
board, will experience one of the worst
car -shortages In their history, due to the
demand for an early movement of crops
and the crush of general merchandise :

greatly aggravated.

HAY SURE OF HIS CASE.
United States Did Not Act Hastily for
Ronmanian Jews.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20. In view of the
disposition shown In some quarters of
Europe to question the propriety of the In
terference of the United States In behalf
of the Roumanian Jews, and having In
mind a statement from Roumanian au
thorities to the effect that these Jews (had
declined agricultural work, it may be, of
Interest to note the fact that the State
Department was particularly careful to
verify all the complaints that had reached
here from various sources respecting the
harshness of 'Roumanian laws.
While the treaty of Berlin explicitly for
bade discrimination against any person in
the Balkan States, on account of religion,
the Roumanian Government sought to
evade the clear provision by decreeing
that the 400,000 Jews living In the country
were not citizens, and consequently that
their protection was not contemplated by
the treaty. Therefore, without naming
the Jews as the direct object of hostile
legislation, the Roumanian Government
proceeded to enact certain laws which
the State Department regarded as in delib
erate violation of the spirit of the treaty.
For .example, one law provided that no
Jew should live In the agricultural sec
tions of the country. Another, prohibited
Jews from engaging In agricultural labor.
Another forbade the Jews to own farm
lands. Finally a law declared that any
one who employed a Jew should also em
ploy no less than two Roumanians, and
this restriction was prohibitive of Jewish
labor in the small establishments. Al-
LEWIS CLARK
CENTENNIAL
THE SITE has been selected and University Park is the favored district. The
site is exactly the distance of ten average city blocks from the door of the
University building. It is only a five-minute ride from University Park to the
exposition site. University Park lies on an elevation of 150 feet above the
Exposition grounds, and will furnish an excellent view of the whole Exposition
University
. Park
Is fortunatelyo situated that the bet
ter class of visitors will seek accom
modations there. The bad element
will drift toward the center of tne
city. Every house and every room
at University Park will rent for amaz
ing prices during 1904 and 1905.
Vacant lots will rent for $1 per day
for camping privileges. It will be
sought by campers on account of city
water, police protection and on ac
count of healthfulness and beauty of
location, as well as close proximity to
the Exposition- grounds. Farrrers,
country people and others can camp
here and visit the Exposition daily at
but little cost if they own their lots.
Hundreds of people will clear the
price of their lots and homes at Uni
versity Park during Exposition year,
provided they buy now, while prices
are so cheap.
Prices Will Advance
Prices of all lots will be advanced ten per cent on November I, 1902, and
ten per cent of the present price will be added each month thereafter
until all but our reserve blocks shall be sold. This is an opportunity to
make an enormous profit. Get in on the ground floor before the first
advance. Don't wait until prices double, but buy now before the first ad
vance. The person who makes money in real estate is the man who gets
in early. Make your earning earn something. Drop a few dollars each
week into University Park lots and it will not be long till you are rich.
Think of it I The Northern Pacific bridge over the Columbia, opposite
University Park, will be constructed at a cost of a million dollars within
the next two years. That railroad company says a tunnel will be built
under University Park at a cost of a million and a half dollars; that a
bridge will be built over the Willamette, near University Park, at a cost
of a half million dollars. If you are not a blind fool you can see that all of
this means a doubling of real estate values at University Park. This is
not all. A saw factory that will employ 100 men, a sash and door factory
that will employ 300 hands, a sawmill that will employ 100 men, and other
concerns that we are not now at liberty to mention, are seeking locations
along our water front. When these things come prices will be out of
your reach. Now is the time to buy, before the advance. Prices from
$100 to $200 per lot. Terms, oae-tenth cash down, balance $5 monthly
on- each lot. No interest on deferred payments.
