OATS MOST OF HER CARGO laneous merchandise for Marshfleld and five tons for Humboldt Bay. Tho Alli ance had 150 tons for Eureka and 325 tons for Coos Bay. Both steamers carried good passenger lists. In answer to the statement by officers of the Alliance that the rival boat was taking: passengers at cut rates. Agent Steelsmlth, of the KUburn. produced his books to show that full faro had been collectod from every passenger. 'As a matter of fact, said air. fateei- smlth, "some of the people even paid a premium above the regular O. R. & K rate for the privilege of securing berths on the fastest steamer on the Coast." Steamship Aragonia Will Carry From Portland Largest Shipment of Tobacco Ever Made From the Pacific Coast. The steamer Olympla. which is going to try to run the Japanese blockade and carry supplies from Portland to the Russian forces at Vladivostok, has sail ed from the Sound for this city and mill be In the river today. It is ex pected that she will begin loading her outward cargo tomorrow morning, and every effort will bo made to give her ouick dispatch. Thero Is still some uncertainty as to the naturo of her caro, but the bulk of it will consist of oats. Kerr, GIfford c Co. will provide 1400 tons and Bal four, Outline & Co.. about the same quantity. It whs reported along tho water front that tho Albers Milling Company would give tho ship a supply of compressed hay, to be loaded at their dock, but B. Albers positively donlcd the report, also tho rumor that hay was being accumulated on the dock. The shipper of tho cases of canned beef that will form a part of tho vessel's cargo has not yet been located. The Olympla will begin loading at Montgomery dock. Kb. 2, and will later shift lor cargo to Oceanic, Mersey and the O. R. & X. dock. While the freight will be stowed away into her hold as fa6t as it reaches the vessel's side, there may be sotno dolay in collecting the cargo, as all the oats that have been sold to the Russian agents are not yet on hand. Henry Ottenhelmer, who is looking alter tho steamers business, has returned to Salem, but will return to Portland early In the week. The steamr Tacoma, which was char tered by the same people and sailed from Seattle a few days ago for Rus sian torritory. carried as cargo 9000 barrels of mess beef and -i steel bars. SEVENTY CARS OF TOBACCO. Largest Shipment Ever Made From Coast Will Go on Aragonia. The largest shipment of leaf tobacco ecr made from tho Pacific Coast will be sent from this city on the Portland & Asiatic liner Aragonia, which la scheduled to sail for the Orient on Jan uary 22. There are 727 casks of it. weighing 1500 tons. Tho tobacco, which is now on the way here rrom me over tho Northern Pacific, fills 7( freight cars. The shipment will go to Kobe and Yokohama. Reservations of spaco -on the Ara gonia for flour are coming forward slowly, but there is a large quantity of general Eastern freight on hand which Insures a full outward cargo for the steamer. NO CUT SAYS STEELSMITH. Denies Allegation by Officers ef Al liance. The steamers K. A. Kilburn and Al llance sailed south last night, ill former for Coos Bay, Eureka and San Francisco; the latter for Coos Bay and Eureka. The Kilburn carried as cargo 500 sacks of wheat and 220 sacks of oats for the Bay City, 50 tons of tnlecel ALASKA TIDES AND CURRENTS. Information Furnished by the Master of the Schooner Seven Sisters. Lieutenant J. C Burnett, United States Navy, in charge of the branch hydrograpic office at San Francisco, forwards informa tion furnished by Captain J. Campbell, master of the fchooner Seven Sisters, who has been running to Good Hope Bay, Kotzebue Sound, for tho past five years. who reports that the rise and fall for ordinary tides at the mouth of the Keo wallk River and at Chamlsso Island is from four feet to four feet six Inches. The coast 6urvcy bulletin gives the rise and fall at the last named place as 1.3 feet. Captain Campbell states that the pilot at Candle Creek (at the mouth of the Xee- wallk) agreed with him as to tho riso and fall of the tides at that place. Captain Campbell alsa reports a good channel from Good Hope Bay, with 12 feet it high water, leading to an anchorago behind the plt at the mouth of the Kee walik River, where vessels may discharge Into lighters Instead of lying out In tho open. Vessels should take a. pilot. The captain has found a strong norther ly set to the current, close inshore, bo tween cape prince or waies ana uapo Espenberg, during the months of July and August. HUGE ATLANTIC LINERS. Many Big Craft Are to Be Launched This Year. The year 1905 promises to -surpass every past year In the number of huge ocean steamers which will either be launched in the course, of It or mado nearly ready for launching. Two of them are the great Cunarders building under special arrange ments with the British government. Two of very nearly the tonnage of the great Cunarders. but of only 17-knot speed, arc building for the Hamburg American line, and ono somewhat larger than the Baltic and similar to her In speed is building for tho White Star Line. There are also rumors of a steamer larger than any now In existence about to be built for the North German Lloyd Line. But, without taking that vessel into account, it Is certain that never be fore were there so many vessels under construction larger than any afloat. For several years the White Star Line has had a monopoly of the largest ships In the world, and one ship at a time was sufficient for it. But five of such vessels all at once seem like the beginning of a new era in ocean steamers. Repairing the Chinook. The contract for repairing tho -dredge Chinook has not yet been awarded by Major Langfltt. It is feared here that the work may bo done at San Francisco. as revised estimates made of the cost of sending the steamer south' show that $3000 will cover all the expenses of going to San Francisco and returning to the Columbia River. The lowest bid on the work was submitted by the Risden Iron Works, of San Francisco $21,310. Tho lowest Portland bid. that of the Willam ette Iron & Steel Works, was $25,349. by xrh'eTi it in Keen that th Gorrnmit ran save $1029 by having tite work done at'the Bay City. Holt Hill May Be Dckttf. The British bark Holt Hill may go on the drydock before she leaves port. Cap tain Parker lias been receiving estWcates on the cost of cleaning and painting the ship in dock, which he has cabled to tho vessel's owners. If he "receives the expect-. ed permission the vessel will be towed down to St. Johns In a few days. Nego tiations are on foot looking to the char tering of the vessel for a lumber cargo for China. Saved by Prize Crew. " GLOUCESTER, Mass., Jan. 7.

She was worked into the harbor during the nlghtShe Is badly damaged and leaking.

Sea Rover Secures Prize. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 7. The dis abled and waterlogged steamer Lakme was towed safely into port today by the tug Seal Rover, which took charge of her off Cape Mendocino, whero the steamer Norfolk was compelled to abandon the unfortunate vessel after a struggle of several days with the elements. The Lakme's decks are under water and she has only been kept afloat by her cargo of lumber. against hfs will. The weather was heavy when the steamer sailed from the Golden Gate, and the pilot boats having run in for shelter, there was nothing for it but to carry the pilot to sea. The well-known steamer Tottenham. Captain Peters, which recently discharged a cargo of Java sugar at Vancouver. B. C, and subsequently took coal from Ladysmlth for San Francisco, has sailed north again from the California port. The Tottenham will take another cargo of coal from one of the island ports to. San Francisco, and she will then load a cargo of railroad material for Chemulpo. Sho Is chartered to a Japanese firm for for the Oriental voyage. J. Taylor, a resident of Alaska, claims to have found 1000 pounds of amber gris in northern waters recently. He ar rived In Seattle a few days ago on the steamship Dolphin, bringing 20 pounds as a. sample. Taylor told officers of the vessel that he expected to realize not less than $1000 a pound for the substance. Ambergris Is used in the manufacture of fine perfumes, and Is a. secretion of the whale. That found by Taylor was float ing on the water. Santa Ana Strikes a Rock. SEATTLE, Jan. 7. The steamer Santa Ana. en route from Seattle to Valder, ran on a rock In Helklsh Narrows, north of Queen Charlotte Sound, and tore away her forefoot. She arrived hero this morn ing for repairs. The steamer struck tho rock during thick weather and a heavy snowstorm. She will have to be dry- docked to learn the full extent of her Injuries. Steamer Emma Full cf Water. LONDON, Jan. 7. The British steamer Emma. Captain Martin, from Galveston, via Norfolk and Rotterdam, before re ported ashore at NIeunewaterweg, Is full of water. Neither the lifeboat nor tugs can communicate with her, owing to tho heavy sea. Lightship Towed Into River. ASTORIA, Or.. Jan. 7. (Special.)

POLICE MAY SEE THE BOOKS Ticket-Brokers Won Suit in Spokane, but Lost jn Seattle, and Will Resist Payment of $300 Fee Here.' If the City of Portland, through the Council, desires to have a little entertain ment In a legal way. It can get a fight out of C H. Thompson ticket-broker's of fice on Third street by knocking the chip off tho office's shoulder on or after Jan uary 10, and It Is very probable that tho mill will be pulled off about that date. In the event of such an occurrence. Judge Martin L- Pipes and John F. Logan will enter the arena on behalf of the Thomp son office, which, by the way, is backed by the American Ticket-Brokers' Asso ciation, and they will endeavor to show to the court that the recent ordinance passed by the Council Is illegal, uncon stltutlonal and entirely out of order In every part- It is safe to say that there is trouble brewing and that the law will bavo to cettlc it Some time ago the Council passed an ordinance which provided an annual license of $300 for the privilege of conducting a ticket brokerage office. This was an increase over a quarterly license of $10, which had formerly been In force. Tho new ordinance went Into effect on De cember S. and the ticket-brokers of the city paid their licenses up to tho first of the year. Now they are without licenses and say that they do not intend to pay. According to the custom, the brokers have ten days" grace in which to pay their dues to the city, after which they can be compelled -to close their places of bus! nesa In default of the money, or to pay the fine provided in the ordinance. It Is announced by the C. H. Thompson office that no license will be paid, and .that it is the Intention of the office. backed by the American Ticket-Brokers' Association, to fight the ordinance to a finish, carrying the caso through the courts in order to establish the principle of right, which they allege to be behind their course of action. Dislike Police Inspection. It is not the license, so it Is held by the brokers, which is the causa of the trouble, for the tlcketmen are willing to pay the large amount asked, but it is the other restrictions which have been placed upon their business. The ordinance re quires that each onice Keep a list of ail tickets sold, of the number of the same with the names of the seller and the purchaser, all of which shall be reported each day to the Chief of Police. In ad dltion to this, the books and accounts of the office shall be open at all times for the Inspection of the police. It Is this phase of the ordinance that is to be opposed by the brokers, and they promise that the fight will be to the finish, once It Is begun. They have their attorneys employed and their case pre pared and are waiting for the city to make the first move on or after January 10, at which time their licenses will be due. Through the Influence of the railroads, It is said, the ordinance was passed in Portland, just as similar ordinances were passed In Spokane, Seattle and Tacoma. It Is alleged by the roads that it will be Impossible to. sell nontransferable! low rate tickets to the Northwest, and partic ularly to the Lewi and Clark Fair, on less the cities give them protection from the scalpers. Such a demand was mado in St. Louis prior to tho issuance of low rates for the Exposition, and such, it Is said, will be the condition here unless the protection is given. Acting on this theory, the Council has passed the ordinance which Is now to be attacked In the courts. Have Lost and Won. Adoloh Ottlnpr.
