ALCOA GOMES AGAIN
Big Freighter Will Load Cargo
Here for Orient -
TAKES THE ARABIA'S PLACE
Artec Left San Francisco Yesterday
for'-Portland Steamer Elwood
Burns on Euget Sound
Freight Market Dull.
The hlg Pacific Mall freighter .Algoa
will carry 'another cargo from Portland
to tho Orient She has been ordered to
this city by General Manager Schwerln
and will sail as a Portland & Asiatic
liner, taking the place of the Arabia on
the regular schedule. The capture of the
latter vessel by the Russians and her
detention at Vladivostok dislocated the
company's time card, and It -was neces
sary to find another to take her place.
The Algoa was the only one available,
so Mr. Schwerln has issued -orders for her
to join the Portland fleet
The Algoa will be remembered as the
monster steamer that was here Jast No
vember and carried out the largest cargo
of flour that was ever shipped from any
port in the world. It consisted of 5,276
barrels of a value of 5319,759. Th.o steamer
also found room in her capacious hold for
17,862 bushels of wheat On her next sail
ing from Portland she will probably not
approach this record, but there is already
enough business in sight to" Insure her a
cargo larger than the, Arabia could carry,
notwithstanding an extra steamer the
Aztec, Is to be .despatched about the" flrst
of the coming month.
The Algoa is expected to leave San
Francisco for this port about the middle
of September and will get away for the
Orient not later than the 28th, the date
formerly fixed for the Arabia's sailing.
She is now at the Union Iron "Works,
where she has undergone extensive re
pairs. The steamer ran on a rock Just
inside the bar at San Francisco on her
arrival from Hong Kong, June 7, and
punched some holes in her hull, which it ;
has cost a good many thousands of dol
lars to repair.
The steamer Aztec, which was secured
to carry freight to Japan before the em
bargo was raised, sailed north from San
Francisco at 1 P. M. yesterday and will
reach this port Tuesday. Her cargo will
consist mainly of flour, of which 5000 tons .
have already been offered. It is stated
at the offices of the company that she
will leave here on the 31st of this month,
but shipping men. believe her departure !
will be delayed beyond that time. J
NO EXPORT MOVEMENT. j
High Wheat Prices and Freight Rates j
Prevent Chartering.
"With wheat commanding a high price i
here and vessel owners asking stiff
rates, the grain freight market is natur
ally inactive. The grain bought in
the past week has been for Eastern, San
Francisco or milling account English
quotations have not advanced sufficiently"
to make export business profitable, and
until they do the wheat movement will
be In other directions. While no new
charters have been written this week, one
negotiated some time ago has Just come
to light It is that of the French bark"
Cambronne, which arrived at Honolulu
Wednesday from Cardiff. She was fixed
prior to her arrival there by J. J. Moore
& Co. to load at Portland for the United
Klnprdom for orders at 21s. 3d., less Is. 3d.
direct All the fixtures made In the past
fortnight have been at the combine's fig
ures, which are 27s. 6d. for Portland
loading. Reviewing conditions on the
Coast the San Francisco Commercial
News of Thursday said:
"In practically all of the chartering
for Europe which has been done during
the past week the prices fixed by the
International Sailing Shipowners Union
have been obtained that is, 23s. 9d. for
merchandise from this port, 26s. 6d. for
wheat from Tacoma, and 27s. 6d. for
wheat from Portland. Several vessels
have been taken for Northern wheat
loading and several for San Francisco
merchandise loading. For grain loading
from this port the market Is decidedly
dull; wheat prices are soaring far- above
a profitable export baslB, and it Is Im
possible to do much business until the
English market makes a much heavier
advance; the price of ships for grain is
quoted at 21s. Sd. for the United Kingdom
wlthjJhe usual continental options. The
Nortlf Is selling wheat for Eastern ship
ment, and If that continues the local
shipping movement will amount to prac
tically nothing. Lumber freights,' for
eign and coastwise, are dull, with a' de-
cidedly weak tendency."
PORTLAND-BUILT BOAT BURNED
Elwood Is a Total Loss on the Skagit
River.
A well-known Portland-built steamboat
Jias just ended its days on Puget Sound.
The Elwood, which was as good, a stern
wheeler of her class as was ever turned
out here, burned to the water's edge at
Avon Jast Wednesday. She had of late
been plying on the Seattle-Skaglt route,
The Elwood was built in this city in
1891 by Joseph Pacquart for the Eldridge
and Abernathy boys. They ran her on
the Upper Willamette, In opposition to
the O. R. & N. and the old Oregon Pa
cific. She was a good, handy, light-draft
boat and well fitted for that business,
nut the noys lacKea the necessary expert
ence and the opposition soon proved too
much for them. They were forced to re
tire from steamboating. and after selling
their craft to Jacob Kamm, they went
back to farming. Mr. Kamm ran the
Elwood for a few 'years on the Lewis
River route, doing odd jobs, and when the
Klondike excitement was at its height
he sold her to the Canadian Pacific
This company placed her on the Stickeen
River run and later, she operated from
Ketchikan. Then the -McDonald Steam
shiD Company bought her and put her
on the Beattle-Skagit route.
The steamer had just arrived at Avon.
on the Skagit River, when the fire broke
" out In the forecastle. It was impossible
to control the flames and In a short time
th'e boat was a total loss. Her machinery
was so damaged by heat -as to render
it practically worthless. The Elwood was

Old Lincoln-Street Reservoir Now 1n
Use.
Waters from Reservoir No. 4 are being
stored as surplus In the LincqlnrStreet
reservoir to avoid the flushes which have
been going through the Tanner-Creek
sewer and Interfering with the repair
work. At the last session of the Water
Board, Contractor R. M. Rlner complained
of the amount of water coming down the
sewer while he was at work, hut Super
intendent Dodge, of the Water Board,
said such a thing was Impossible, as he
had examined the overflow and found it
nil.
Superintendent Dodge was certain that
Contractor Rlner was mistaken when he
said that water came down the sewer
and interfered with his work, as he had
looked Into the matter of the overflow and
found nothing wrong. Mr. Rlner wanted
a rubber-boct test to prove that he was
right The test was made, but since then
the Lincoln-street reservoir has been do
ing the work Intended for it, though it
had long been dry.
Householders, who have residences be
low the Lincoln-street reservoir, think
they are getting the back waters from
the overflow, which no longer goes down
Tanner Creek since Mr. Rlner asked for...
the rubber-boot inspection.
Reservoir No. 4 has now entertd the
race. In order to keep water from flowing
into the old holdback, the overflow from
the pipes has been backed up so that it
goes into the Lincoln-street reservoir,
and thus serves two purposes. In the
first instance, it enables Mr. Rlner to
proceed with his work In the Tanner
Creek sewer, It makes Superintendent
Dodge's claim that no flushes are occur
ring good, and enables the contractors for
Reservoir No. 4 to work in dry ground.
Reservoir No. 4 is at the head of .the
Jefferson-street gulch. There over 150
men are employed in breaking away the
old cement and clearing the debris from
the bottom of the once-famous water
holder. New cement is being placed as
fast as circumstances will warrant, but
guards carefully watch the tunnels lead
ing into the taps which Superintendent
Dodge said do not overflow. In order to
prevent any sudden flush which v might
damage the work already performed.
At the present rate of construction -Reservoir
No. 4 will be ready for use by Win
ten That will mean a greater storage
or water than the city has at preseent.
although the supply at this time is ample
for all needs. The mountain-side above
Reservoir No. 3 Is being graded back, so
that It will not slip into the lower basin
at any time, and the material extracted
is dumped into the other reservoir, and
from there hauled out by cable. The
work requires a combination of mining,
railroad building and common labor. Un
der such a combination the contract will
be completed and the city will have
greater storage-room for domestic water
than It has at the present time, and the
people below the Lincoln-street reservoir
will then discover that they are not using
the water from the Willamette River, as
many of them suppose, but that they are
getting the pure article from Bull Run.
Eight hours per day are being worked,
but each eight hours shows an improve
ment In the work on Reservoir No. 4.
Camps have been established below the
reservoir for the accommodation of the
men employed. Even the horses are cared
for there, but the old familiar sound of
the rush of water through the sewer along
Jefferson street and down Into Tanner
Creek is lacking.

Superior Judge Alberjson Says That
Interest in the Railway Commis
sion Question Divides State.
C C Dalton. of Seattle, the Assist
ant Attorney-General, and one of the
Republican leaders of the state of
Washington, was at the Hotel Perkln3
yesterday afternoon for a short time
while en route to his home from Long
Beach. Mr. Dalton was accompanied
by his family, and by Superior Judge
R. 3. Albertson, also of Seattle, who is
returning from South Bend, where he
held a term of court
Mr. Dalton was waylaid Just as he
was about to deposit the amount of his
hotel bill with the clerk, preparatory
to leaving- on the afternoon train for
home, and was asked a few of the
things Interesting about the political -situation
of Washington.
"I would not like to talk abou poli
tics," said the State's Attorney, as
suming a judicial air, "for it is not
right for one connected with the law
to venture too far Into the political
puddle, especially when already hold
ing an official .position. I have tried not
to become mixed up more than is nec
essary in the campaign, and, besides, I
am on the McBride side of the fence,
and so ought not to say anything.
Judge Albertson over there Is a candi
date for re-election, and might have
something to say about what he thinks
will be done this Fall."
Judge Albertson, however, laid the
blame all on the other man.
"Now,'1 he said, In a surprised tone,
"Judge Dalton, sitting over there, is
the politician of the party, and can tell
you all about it I am a candidate and
should not talk."
'If you are a candidate," it was sug
gested, "you ought to know whether or
not your ticket will be elected, and
what the general conditions are," The
Judge, on second thought "was of the
opinion that some of the statements
might be true, and explained a few
things.
"I was the Republican Speaker of
the House at Olympla in 1901," "com
menced the Judge, "and after the Leg
islature had, at its last session, created
the office of a fifth Judge, I was ap
pointed by Governor McBride to fill
the place. At the last convention I was
nominated to succeed myself, and am
now in the midst of the campaign. I
have not been out of King County in
the interests of pblltlcs, and therefore
do not know from, personal observa
tion what the sentiment Is, but I am
led to believe that the state will be
strongly Republican on the National
ticket I think that Roosevelt will get
a large majority; that all of the Re
publicans will stand in line for him,
as well as a great many of the dis
satisfied Bryai Democrats besides. With
mat condition prevailing, It would be
a strange thing for one on the state
ticket to fail of election.
'Mr. Mead, the Republican nominee
for Governor, is a man against whom
tnere are no grounds for a tiersonal
fight which leaves the contest for the
head of the ticket purely in the politi
cal arena. The only contention then
remaining is that of the people of the
eastern part of the state for a. Railroad
Commission. Those-men of the east
want a Railroad Commission, and thinTc
tney snould have it How far the con
tention will enter into the support or
nonsupport of the ticket, I have no
idea, though I do not believe that the
opposition will be strong enough to de
feat the .candidate.
"The western part of the state is very
indifferent on the commission ques
tion, and Its creation or noncreation
will make no great difference in the
votes of the Republicans of that sec
tion, unless some pressure is brought
to bear on the western wing of the
party by the men of the east, which, I
think, is not. probable, at least from
the indications of the present
"All things considered, then, I think
that the Republican ticket should with
out a doubt bo elected, and I am of the
opinion that the majorities will
large. The Democrats are talklntr Rail
road Commission, and it is with a view,
perhaps, of gaining votes from the dis
satisfied element of the Republicans,
but I do not believe that it will do
them any substantial, good.
"The Democratic National ticket."
concluded the Judge, as he started for
the train, "is going to lose many votes
In November, for Mr. Parker Is not the
choice of a large number of the party
in the state. Washington, on the
Democratic side of the fence, has a
great many Bryan followers, and the
majority of these will not vote for
Parker. Some of them have come out
openly and said they would rather sup
port Roosevelt than Parker, and it is
the opinion of politicians that such
sentiments will greatly increase the
Republican majorities in the state."

Robert F. Shepard, a carpetTayer, is once

Shepard, whom he married for a second
time In Portland about a year ago, in an
attempt to settle previous domestic infe
licities and to bring his wife and their
little girl together again.
Mrs. Shepard has returned to Denver,

aneging cruel treatment She asks for
alimony and attorney's fees and the cus
tody of lone, their beautiful little dauch
ter. The papers were served here upon
sneparu Dy ujeputy Sheriff Dodo Parrott
Mrs. Shepard previously obtained a dl
vorce from her husband In the East, and
he ran away taking the child with him.
She followed him to Seattle, and finally to
Portland, and the child was located In
Clackamas County, where he had left it.
A stubborn legal fight for possession was
begun and -Judge Cleland awarded the
child to the mother. Shepard filed notice
or appeal and pending the appeal the lit
tle girl was ordered placed in the Chil

suggesteed a compromise, and the couple
decided to try married life again, and
to see if tney could not got along.
About a month ago Shepard says ho
went to work In. tho morning and when
he returned In the evening he found his
wife and daughter wero- gone. They had
