Newspaper Page Texti THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, MARCH 1. 10O8. 9 STEAMER ELMORE ON PORTLAND RUN Tillamook Country Will Have a Direct Service Once Each Week. BENEFIT TO MERCHANTS Change of Terminal From Astoria Will Be of Great Benefit to Busl ness Men df Tillamook and Portland Marine Notes. Samuel Elmore, of Astoria," has de cided to operate his steamer 8ue H. Elmore, between Portland and Tilla mook, direct, sailing from each end of the, route once each week. The new change will So Into effect Immediately and the Elmore will take her first cargo from Portland. This change will gixo ahippers of Portland a much better op portunity to transact business with merchants of the Tillamook country. For a number of years tha only con nection Tillamook had with tha outside world was by stage or the steamer Sue H. Elmore, which operated out of As toria. All freight from r-ortland was hauled to Astoria either over the line of the Astoria Railroad or by steam boat. This necessitated a double trans fer and the charge were excessive on all necessities. During the heavy weather which prevailed during No vember and December the Elmore failed to make a trip to Tillamook for sev eral weeks. Food supplies ran short suid a profitable cargo was offered to a vessel which would take a cargo Into the bay. The gasoline schooner Condor was secured by a number of business men and it has been an nounced that she will operate between Portland and points- on Tillamook Bay. - The Portland end of the business of the steamer Sue H. Elmore will be handled by William Baker, on the Oak street dock. Mr. Baker announces that the vessel will sail for Tillamook once each week and that there will be no Interruptions, in the service. The busi ness between the two ports has been increasing steadily for several years and the demands of the trade on the bay are such that a weekly service is absolutely necessary. STARK-STREET IMPROVEMENTS Concrete Sea Wall Will Be Ordered at the City Landing Place. Extensive improvements at 'the foot of Stark street will commence shortly. The estimates for a concrete sea wall at the public levee have been turned Into the Council by Harbormaster Spoler and It Is the intention of the city officials to have the public land ing slip ready by the opening of the Kose Carnival in June. The specifications, as prepared by the Harbormaster, call for the con struction of a solid concrete bulkhead extending across the end of Stark street and out to a depth of 18 feet at low water. The slip will be filled and graded to a level with the top of the bulkhead. A grand stairway will lead down to a floating pontoon. This will afford a landing place for all boats operating along the river when en smtfd In carrying passengers to and from warships or on excursions during the carnival. A pnbllc landing place ias been a long-felt want along the waterfront. Stark street Is the only public place and is In bad shape at present. It Is a rendezvous for fisher men and beach combers. FEBRUARY EXPORT BCSIXESS Wheat Shipments In Excess of 2,- 000,000 Bushels. Exports for February, 1908, have broken all records for that month, and a mark has been established for the shipments of grain for the second month of the calendar year, which will not be broken for some time 'to come. The wheat shipments aggregate 2,279, 8S bushels with a valuation of 82,073, 705. With tha exception 6f the cargo of the Nordsee, which was cleared for Callao, all the grain went to the United Kingdom or the Continent. The British steamship Baron Cawdor will receive her orders at Port Said. Floor exports amounted to 55.245 barrels. It was all carried by the regular line steamships plying between . this port and the Orient. The Klcomedla took less than SO. 000 barrels end the Alesla was fully that amount short of what Is. generally carried on ths Btoamships of the Portland & Asiatic Steamship Company. Flour ex ports have fallen off. The Numantia, which is scheduled to sail March 15, will carry a large shipment to Vladi vostok, East Siberia. Lumber shipments amounted to 7.176,576 feet. During the corresponding month of last year tha shipments of lumber were greatly In excess of this figure. Wheat shipments for February, 1907, amounted to 652,725 bushels, flour, however, during that month ran up to 133,832 barrels. At that time there was a heavy demand in the Orient for food stuffs.

GOING TO LOS ANGELES With Charles Jost as Manager He Seeks Fight With Jack (Twin) Sullivan, Who Is Matched With Ketchel Gossip. BT V. J. FBTRAIX. "Mysterious"' Billy Smith, after sev eral years' retirement from the roped arena, is again to don the padded gloves and essay a few more encount ers In fistiana. The main idea at pres ent percolating through the cranium of the mysterious one is that he still possesses a sufficient knowledge of the game and strength enough to dispose of Jack ("Twin") Sullivan. Tha latter worthy is at present occu pying the limelight down Los Angeles way, by reason of his challenge to Thomas Thorn as Kearns. Mass., on February 20, finished a stunt of bowling 24 hours consecu- tively. The total fall of duck pins was 36.014- and the number of strings bowled 174, making the average of the bowler 02 6-174. His highest string was 235 and his low est 70. - By this feat Kearns established a new record for (endurance In bowl ing. Kearns performance Is all the more remarkable from the fact that the day before he started -on his 24 hours' run he had only four hours' aleep. Stanley Ketchel, the Montana wonder, who so handily disposed of Jack's twin Mike, at the Angel City recently. The match between Jack and Ketchel has already been arranged, and it is with the idea of issuing his defy to the winner of this bout that Mysterious Willie is out with his announcement of his return to the arena. Accompanied by Charles Jost, Smith will leave here for Ios Angeles Wednesday night, and will immediate ly commence active training. The Portland man Is said to have been positively assured of a match in the Angel City, and as the promise came from Billy Roche, who enjoys the dis tinction of being the Tex Rickard and Jimmy Coffroth combined of that burg. It is reasonable to suppose that pmith will have no trouble in getting a match. Smith expects to be able to make 156 pounds without any trouble, for he says he has worked himself down from 235 to 187 pounds, his present weight, without actively engaging in training, and thinks that tp make, 'the middleweight limit will be the easiest thing imaginable. Jost will act as; is manager and backer in securing matches in the orange belt, and Is so confident of Smith"s ability to defeat Jack ( -Twin") Sullivan that he Is will ing to wager $1000 on the outcome. , Abe Attell continues to maintain his claim to tha featherweight title, and Judging from the decisive manner in which he disposed of Bddie Kelly, the pride of Buffalo, he stands an excel lent chance of maintaining the same superiority in his division that Joe Gans enjoys in the lightweight class. Attell has come to the front rapidly of late, and while his rise may be due in a measure to the decline of his op ponents, he is rcvertheless entitled to ell the credit attached to his feats, for he stands ready to meet any and all comers, and has so far been more than successful in disposing of claimants to the title. ... T. Burns, of several recent successes. Chit-Chat of the BT TTILL Q. MAC RAE. THE New York-to-Paris automobile race has given chug-wagon makers a new thought. Inveniors have been put to work deelgning a snow-plow for automobiles. Billy Nolan slipped the San Francisco sports another lemon. He spread the bunk about Kelly being a world-beater, and the Bay City suckers fell for it. Old "Toe-Hold" Kennedy, McCredie's first baseman, 1s anxious to work behind the bat. Manager Mac will give the wrestling balltosser a chance to make good, provided he can get a good man to take his place on the first way station. Judge W. W. McCredie is not a betting man, but if there is any loony fan who doesn't believe Portland won't land the pennant he can get a suit of clothes mighty easy. Jimmy Byrne, who helped rob. McCre die of Pitrher Hartman's services, and who has lost no opportunity to knock McCredie, will find himself out in the cold. Byrne figured on going to Louisville,, but Mac mailed him a contract and told MYSTERIOUS r t 1 NEW BEDFORD MAN BOWLS FOR 24 HOURS. : P TV- ' ! ' - V V I : V! jj Kearns. of New Bedford, I and A. Johnson, of a dusky hue, are en gaging In another newspaper fight. Kach professes to be exceedingly anx ious for a match, while, as & matter of fact, the chances of their coming to gether are decidedly remote. Burns is doing very nicely in the game of trim ming up the festive English talent, while his dusky challenger is not over anxious to meet any man who has the ability to, punch with the sleep-producing effect. Mr. Jawnsing has a highly-developed ochre streak, which, if visible, would cause his anatomy to resemble that of the jungle cat. Then again, it may be said. Burns is look ing for easier game, and he seems to be finding same in plentiful quantities. Our time-honored friends. Jeems Ed ward Britt, and Battling, Etc., Nelson, both of the glorious tribe of ."has beens," are again to produce their famous give-and-take specialty. This time the vaudeville performance is to. be rendered for the express benefit of the scrap admirers of the Angel City. They probably selected the seraphio municipality because poor old, long suffering San Francisco has had enough of them, and is desirous of wit nessing real exponents of the fistic art in action. ... Joe Gans' press agent must have hit the dope route to such an extent that he is in a state of coma, for the entire month of February has elapsed with out the chocolate-colored Baltimorean being heralded as matched with some rising young aspirant of the Britt-Nel-son-Corbett tyjie. Joe had better enlist the services of another manager-matchmaker, or soma one with a 'talent for getting into the good graces of the scrap-promoters, or he will be financially embarrassed. The records of the last battle cannot hold out forever, but it may be that the Baltimorean expects to challenge the winner (?) of the Britt-Nelson "fight." Better try another Gans-Nelson or Gans-Britt fight on the California sports, but give Los Angeles a chance at it this time. STCDEXTS FAVOK SOBRIETY Rules of the Faculty Meet With Ap proval at Stanford. STANFORD UNIVERSITT, Cal., Feb. 29. (Special.) The rumor which has been circulated on the campus and in San Francisco to the effect that four more students have been dismissed from the university in connection with the recently instituted crusade of tne university authorities against drinking, has been de clared false by Chairman Clark of the student affairs committee. The suspension last week of two stu dents on grounds of alleged intoxication had given rise to much comment among the under-graduate body, since the offense for which they were charged had been committed several weeks prior to the appointment of thenew committee. This gave rise to the question of how far back the present committee would go in bringing to trial past breaches of sobriety. Chairman Clark, however, gave out the statement today that he will not seek to discipline any student for offenses com mitted previous to his appointment as chairman, except in those cases turned over to him by Professor Durand and his associates of the preceding committee. It is intimated, moreover, that such cases are comparatively few in number, and that the majority of them have already been settled. The edicts of he trustees and presi dent of the university with regard to excessive drinking have been quietly re ceived by the students, the majority of whom are in favor of the strictest sobri ety, and up to the present time there have been no breaches of the new rules. In the course of an informal conference between Chairman Clark and President Stewart of the Encina Club, the chairman assured Stewart that he did not intend to interfere in the student government of the dormitory as long as matters con tinue as satisfactorily as they are at present. WEAK I" THE BROAD JUMP Trainer Moulton Is Rather Discour aged at Stanford. STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Cal., Feb. 29. (Special.) Notwithstanding .the fact that the performances at the track meets held on the Stanford track within the past four weeks have been very satisfac tory, there are some events which need strengthening materially. To the end that this weakness may be remedied. Trainer Moulton is striving to induce more freshmen who have preparatory school records behind them to go into training. e The broad Jump is one of the weakest events. Two of the likeliest candidates in that event, Bellah and Scott, '10, are inclined to shift to other branches of ath letics, tha former to the pole vault, in which he Is showing up well, and the latter to baseball. Aynesworth and Red man are no longer In college, and tne demand for other material Is Imperative. For the freshman meet there are sev eral events which might be stronger. Little form has yet been shown in the pole-vault, although there are several freshmen In college who have done well in preparatory schools, but who have not gone into training here. The weights, also,' are weak, and unless more men come out for them, most of the points in these events must be conceded to California, The middle distances are" strong, but in the two-mile there Js a noticeable lack of candidates showing good form. Trainer Moulton expresses himself as very well pleased with the work done by the men in training, but deplores the fact that there are several good men in col lege who are not in training.

All right Brick, the flood tide of your troubles will soon be due. Chlf-Chat wishes you luck, but the sympathy vat has run dry. It will be yours for the back alleys and city outskirts unless you land a winning team. "Dying is delicious sensation," says a noted physician. It must be true when the census of ball players, prize fighters and other members of the sporting gentry, show so many dead ones. Now that the National Baseball Com mission has refused to legislate against the pop fcottle. Isn't it about time for some one to invent a rubber bottle? This would be welcomed by the amalgamated order of baseball umps. There will be an umpire abroad in the land this season named Musick. The ball player who takes a punch at him will be charged by the witty scribe f having struck the wrong note. Ire You a Perfect Man? With No Back Pains, No Nervousness, No Waste of.

POLES WIELD EFFECTIVE WEA PONS AGAINST NATION. Unfriendly Bill Ieads to Other Na tions Supplanting Germany, Causing Protest. BERLIN. Feb. 29 (Special.) The boy cott of German goods instituted by the merchants of Russian Poland and Galicia, as a protest against the expropriation bill aimed at Prussian Poland, has now been in operation four months. It has been enforced strictly and systematically against all goods manufactured in Ger many, through whatever channel they might be forwarded to Polish business houses. The effect of the boycott has al ready been keenly felt by German Arms, and the bankers and business people of Kattowitz sent a petition to the German government praying for a withdrawal of the bill. The petition was Ignore. Several of the consuls in Warsaw have seen in the exclusion of German goods a possibility of increasing the trade of their respective countries with Poland. They have accordingly furnished them selves with the names and particulars of different ilrms of their native countries willing to do business with Polish houses, and have advertised In the Warsaw press that they will be glad to give the in formation to those who desire It. A very favorable response has been made to these offers, particularly In the case of Switzerland. Moreover, the importing firms of Poland) and Galicia have put themselves into negotiation with foreign manufacturers, particularly in Hungary. Bohemia and France, with a view to ob taining from them the goods that they will not accept from Germany. The commercial circles in Hungary re gard the situation with great favor, and a deputation of Polish merchants in Budapest had an official reception from the Hungarian government. M. Kossutli has promised to introduce a bill with the object of reducing the railway tariffs on goods imported into Galicia.

Cap tain Kessel, master of the American ship Emily Reed, which was recently wrecked near the mouth of the Nelialem River, arrived here this afternoon on the steamer Elmore, with tils wife, from Tillamook, where they have been staying since the accident. In speaking of the wreck this evening Captain Kessel said: "There is not much to tell, furthe.- than has already been published, except that the accident might have been avoided had the steamer Washington given me warn ing of my dangerous position, and why she did not do so I cannot understand. We sighted the Washington coming up from the south about three-quarters of an hour before we struck the beach, so you see we were close in shore, although, of course, we did not know it. As soon as I saw the steamer, I burned a flare-up to attract her attention, thinking perhaps she did not see us. We could then see her masthead and red lights, but she immed iately changed her course, showing her green light, and passed under our stern about a quarter of a mile away. Aside from altering her course, the Washington made no response to our signals, although I endeavored to hall her throush a mega phone. Had sha done so and given us an mkllng of our dangerous position, we might evn then have worked our way off shore and have saved the vessel as well as the lives of the men who were drowned."

ENGINE FOR USE IN WAR Machine May Be of Great Value to the Armj. LONDON, Feb. 29. (Special.) The mil itary authorities "have Just been testing at Aldershot a military traction engine of remarkable appearance and still mora remarkable powers. It Is a gigantic ma chine, almost grotesque in shape. Invented by a young South African engineer, Henry George De Trafford Wright, son of a well known Kiniberly engineer. The value of the machine to the army lies in lui power of traversing the roughest ground with ease and safely at high speed, and In Its enormous power development 400 horso power which enables It to drag heavy guns into position. The final and conclusive tests of Wright's engine were carried out in the Long Valley, Aldershot. when it per formed several wonderful feats. It climbed hills at a gradient which wou.d have proved too much for the ordinary traction engine, finally reaching a posi tion on the crest In which disaster seemed inevitable. It crossed a deep ditch, five or six feet in width, and manoeuvred with ease in its own length. Another Bomb at Teheran. TEHERAN, Feb. 29.
