BUILD BOUTS HERE
Ex-Master of Pennsylvania Jto
Superintend Their Con
."struction. CRAFT FOR PUGET SOUND
Willamette Ironworks Prepares for
York on Two Vessels Italian
Warship Men Will Attend
Mass Today.
Captain J. F. Blaln. formerly master
of the steamship Pennsylvania, operat
ing between Seattle and Alaska ports,
arrived In Portland yesterday moraine;
from the Sound. Captain Blaln will
superintend the construction of two
new crafts for the Government. They
are to be built by the Willamette Iron
& Steel- Works for use on Pu;et
Sound. Captain Blaln will enter im
mediately upon his duties and will re
main In Portland until the boats are
finished.
Up to September 1, Captain Blaln
was master of tho steamship Pennsyl
vania. Shortly before she sailed he
left the ship and she was taken north
bv Captain Fred Warner, port captain
of the company operating the Pennsyl
vania. The trouble which resulted In
Captain Blaln'a leaving the steamer
started when one Burns, an office at
tache, gave orders to the ship's car
penter and directed that some work
be done while the vessel was at sea.
Captain Blain deslied that the orders
be revoked, and asked that all orders
to members of the crew go through
the master. Captain Blaln had pre
viously requested that the wireless sta
tion be changed, as It affected the com
passes. Burns refused both requests.
Captain Blain then tendered his resig
nation to take effect on the return of
the boat at Seattle. He was told that
he need not wait that long and he left.
The other officers would have left
with the master had It not been for
the fact that the Inspectors would prob
ably have suspended their licenses for
delaying the ship.
SHXA-YAK IS SAFE IS PORT
Schooner Which Struck on Point
Arena Reaches San Diego.
SAN PEDRO. Cal.. Sept. 5. The steam
schooner Shna-Yak. Captain William Hut
ton, arriving this morning from Port
Hadlock. Wash., reports that on the af
ternoon of September 1. she went on the
dangerous rocks at Point Arenas In an
unusually dense fog, and was saved from
destruction only by prompt work of her
officers and crew.
The vessel grounded at 4:40 o'clock
Tuesday afternoon, and struck heavily
amidships our or five times. Cape Hut
ton ordered the deck lashtngs cut and
8W.0! feet of lumber was Jettisoned and
piled into the sea, carrying with It First
Officer. -A. Paulsen, R. Halsteln, winch
driver, and A. C. Qustafson. Harred
Bank.es,, C. Petersen and A. Carlson, mem
bers of the crew. The sea was smooth
as glass and the men scrambled on top
of the lumber. Halstein became entangled
m the floating lumber, and would have
drowned had not A. Jordan, a fireman.
Jumped from the deck of the steamer and
held h In, up until boats were lowered and
all the men were picked up.
The only one seriously Injured was
First Officer Paulsen, who was severely
bruised on his left side, and required
medical attention upon arrival here.
When the lumber was Jettisoned the
Ehna-Tak. . .considerably lightened,
backed out of her perilous position
with only minor Injuries. She was on
the rocks only about 13 minutes. The
sea was perfectly smooth, which aided
the vessel greatly. She was not leak
ing upon arrival here. After cleaning
up wreckage of main and after rig
ging, she was again under full steam
at ( o'clock.
The Bhna-Tak Is a new steamer,
having been placed In commission last
December. Her managing owner is
Corga E. Billings, of 6an Francisco,
and her capacity Is 1.000.009 feet of
lumber. She was built by Hall Bros,
at Eagle Harbor, and cost $125,000. She
carries a, crew of 22 officers and men.
CAPTAIN JiOETj AS SCRGEON
gets Broken Legs of Two Sailors
While Off Horn.
M. Goudoux and F. Damout. sailors on
the French, bark Vlncennes, which reached
port yesterday from Antwerp, each suf
fered a broken leg while the ship was
rounding the Horn. CaDtaln Noel had
the me a taln aft and set the bones. He
splinted them to the bent of his ability
and the men have so far recovered that
they walk with scarcely a limp. Dr. E.
J. Labbe, who examined them yesterday,
says that the surgery of Captain Noel was
first class.
The vessel encountered heavy gales off
the Horn and It was necessary to shorten
sail. A sea boarded the craft and
Goudoux and Damout were thrown
against the hatch combing. Each struck
With sufficient force to break a leg.

SERUM FOR WHITE PLAGUE
Russian Physician Asks All Nations
to Test Ills Discovery.
NEW TORK, Sept. 6. Tests are being
made in New York City of a new serum
treatment for tuberculosis, the Invention
of Dr. Gabrllowltch. director of the Im
perial Russian Sanitarium for Tubercu
losis at Hallla, Finland. Dr. Gabrll
owltch, whose fame as a scientist la
world-wide. Is about to start from Fin
land for the United States to read a pa
per explaining and describing his meth
ods before the International Congress on
Tuberculosis, ' which will convene In
Washington, September 23.
So careful has Dr. Gabrllowltch been to
avoid making assertions that might not
be borne out by the subsequent teats that
even in Russia very few physicians have
bad an opportunity to learn of what the
new treatment for the great white plague
consists.
Two months ago, after having tested
Its effects for more than a year. Dr. Ga
brllowltch requested a few physicians In
various countries to make tests of the
serum for the purpose of confirming or
disproving the conclusions at which he
had arrived. So successful have those
teats been in America, at least, that ar
rangements have been made with the
Tuberculosis Society of 8t. Petersburg
to furnish the serum in sufficient quanti
ties for the use of any physicians and
hospitals that may wish to try It.
While no public announcement has yet
been made of the method by which Dr.
Gabrllowltch prepares his serum and no
statement will be made until he reads his
paper at Washington, it Is said ft Is based
on the so-called old tuberculon discovery
by Professor Robert Koch, and announced
by him in 1890 as a cure for tuberculosis.
Koch'a tuberculon, however, caused so
many complications that Its remedial
value was almost nullified. Dr. Gabrll
owltch haa purified the Koch serum and
has named his product Tubercullnum Se.
rum, or Pure Tuberculin.

Held Prisoner In Deep Well.
SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. S. Thirty-six
hours' Imprisonment in a well he had
been repairing, was the experience of Al
bert Schwartz, a ranch hand employed
near Point Reyes. Schwartz went Into
the well on Wednesday, lowering himself
down with a rope run through a block.
The block became detached and the man
was a prisoner 33 feet below the surface,
standing In the water at the bottom.
Despite his cries and struggles to reach
the top by cutting steps in the walls, he
was forced to stay in the well until 38
hours had passed, when his employer hap
pened to go to the vA'll, and saw him at
the bottom and rescued him, stiff and
cold and nearly exhausted .with hunger
and fatigue.

Effect of Crop Damage Re
ports From England. .
SUPPRESSED EXCITEMENT
Oregon Growers Likely to Pick Ev
erything in Sight Shipments
From State Last Year.
Fruit . Trade.
The undertone of the hop market haa
been materially strengthened by the
crop damage reports from abroad. There
was some inkling of the Injury done to
the Kentinh crop before the press cable
was received announcing the extent of
the storm, and -this caused no little ex
citement in the trade. The market has
been in a more or less sensitive condi
tion of late, and it did not need much
to turn the scale on the side of firmness.
The result of the change has been a re
newed demand, not only for contracts,
but also for 1907 and 1906 hops.. For the
latter grades there was some Improve
ment over the extreme low prices lately
quoted.
Whatever interest the trade may feel
In the turn of events, they are not show
ing it openly and the business under
way, such as It Is, Is being conducted
quietly. The operations of the contract
holders are largely In the way of mak
ing required advances and securing their
contracts.
The disposition, especially of the large
growers. Is to prevent the small growers,
as far as possible, from harvesting their
full crops. Their efforts, however, have
probably been wasted, for it seems likely
the smaller producers will find means
to pick their hops. If 'there is going to
be any Improvement in prices, the small
growers think they are as much entitled
as the big fellows to reap the benefit. ,
That the best market will come late
Is the .accepted opinion of . the trade.
Brewers do not want hops now and
probably will not be good buyers this
side of New Tear's. When their present
stocks are exhausted and they do come
into the market they may not find a very
large supply to draw upon.
Shipments of hops out of Oregon by
the Harriman lines In the year ending
August 31. 1908. were 139.827 bales, and
about 4000 bales were shipped over the
Northern Pacific. Of the total shipments
about 14,000 bale were of the 1!6 crop.
As approximately 6000 bales of 1907s re
main in the state, these figures indicate
a total crop in Oregon In 1907 of about
135,000 bales. Dealers' estimates of the
coming Oregon crop range from 80,000
to 100,000 bales.
WEAK MARKET FOR PEACHES.
Coming Week Will See the Low eat Prices
of the Season.
The peach market was a weak affair
yesterday, as might have been expected
with only half a day for business, and
a holiday Monday. Receipts were large
and a considerable quantity of stock had
to be carried over. The best peaches
sold yesterday at 75 cents and from that
figure the price ranged down as low as
SO cents for small inferior fruit. In the
past two days there has been a decline
of fully 10 cents on the bulk of sales,
and the prospects are for- still lower
prices- next weak, when the bottom of
the market for the season will be
reached.
. Grapes were firm and active yesterday,
but larger receipts are expected in the
' coming week. ' Cantaloupes and melons
were easy. A car of Casabas was due
last night and will be unloaded- Monday
morning.
A car of sweet potatoes came In on
a weak market. Two or three cars of
sweets are rolling.
VVKEAT MARKET IS QUIET.
Grabs Prices Are Unchanged at the Board
of Trade.
Tha wheat market was quiet and un
changed yesterday. At the Board of Trade,

YORK BANKS' RESERVES.
Shipments to Canada Responsible for
Part of Loss Increase
In Loans.
NEW YORK, Sept. 6. The Flnancer says
this week:
The week's official statement of the New
York Associated Banks showed, as the most
striking features, more or lees important de
creases In cash and in reserve, carrying tha
latter to about the lowest since June 27. Con
tributory to such reduction were increases in
losns and consequent augmentations In de
posit. The caah decrease was In part ac
counted for by shipment, early In the week,
to Canada. The Subtreasury operations with
banks, though disclosing gains to the latter,
showed only small Increases. The loan item
was largely augmented. It being probably af
fected by the participation by New York banks
in the Philadelphia loan negotiation and also
by the transection on the stock exchange in
cident to a bull speculation.
Compared with tha highest surplus of the
Associated Banks this year there was a de
crease shown In the week's statement of
$2,600,000 in the average and of $1,600,000 in
the actual conditions. Compiled upon de
posit, leas those of public funds, the reduc
tion shown by the average was $8,000,000.
Such a computation- of actual conditions shows
a dacreasa of S14.000.000. .' '
The statement of averaxes of the Clear-lng-House
banks for . the week shows
that the banks now hold ' $59,644,950
more" than the requirements of the 25 per
cent reserve rule. This is . a decrease of
$5,714,025 in the proportionate cash reserve
compared with last week. The statement

Up Character Small
- .. Export Sales. y .
CHICAGO, Sept. 5. Business in the wheat
pit was of an evenlng-up -character, as Is
usual preceding a holiday, and holders were
more anxious to sell than shorts were to
buv. Prices steadly- declined all day. Re
ceipts at Minneapolis and Duluth were
enormous, the total arrivals today at those
points being -786 cars against 447 cars tha
corresponding day a week ago, and it was
predicted that the receipts at Minneapolis
next Thursday would aggregate from 2000
to 2500 cars - Despite an unusually urgent
demand for cash wheat by millers In the
Northwest and the large sales of flour which
have been made there for the past few days,
tlrls exceptionally heavy movement naturally
could have no other effect. It-was claimed,
than to weaken wheat valuea Local ex
porters claimed that any material decline
In prices would force liberal sales for. ex
port, but only small aales had been made
during the day. Minneapolis and Chicago
cash wheat premiums were unchanged and
St. Louis was cent lower. - The market
closed weak and only a trifle above the
lowest price of the day.
Corn was dragged down slightly by the
weakness of wheat. The selling of September
was due to the turning ot of about 180,000
bushels of contract corn from elevators dur
ing the past 24 hours. The market closed
weak, with prices H to cent lower.
Oats were weak on selling of September
and December deliveries by cash houses. At
the sample tables, the demand was rather
slack, and prices declined to 1 cent. The
market closed weak with prices off i 0
fcc.
Provisions ire re dull and easy.. At the
close prices were a shade higher to THc

NEW VIEW OF CREATION
Writer Thinks All Space Filled With
Ocean of Ether.
WOODOTOCK. Or. Sept. 3. (To the
Editor.) Sir Oliver Lodge, in his third
edition of "Modern Views of Electricity,"
lately published, has thrown a new and
luminous light on what is known as the
world of matter. His summary of latest
scientific researches In this firmament of
nature glvee the conclusions arrived at
by the most eminent physicists and which

Private wires Rooms 201 to 204,
have now advanced beyond the stage of
hypothesis and realised natural tacts,
which all civilized and educated humanity
should know and think about. His words
are:
"Throughout the greater part of space
we find simple unmodified ether, elastic
and massive, squirming and quivering
with, energy, but stationary as a whole.
Here and there, however, we find specs
of electrified ether. Isolated yet collected
together by fields of force, and in a state
of violent locomotion. These 'specks' are
what. In the form of prodigious aggre
gates, we know as 'matter'; and the
greater number of sensible phenomena,
such as viscosity, heat. Bound, electric
conduction, absorption and emission of
light, belong to ' these differentiated or
individualized and dissociated or elec
trified Specks, which are either flying
alone or are revolving with orbital motion
In groups. The "matter" so constituted
built up of these well-separated particles,
with Interstices enormous in proportion
to the size of the specks must be an
excessively porous or gossamer-like struc
ture, like a cobweb, a milky way, or a
comet's tall; and the inertia of matter
that is, the combined Inertia of a group
of electrified ether particles must be a
mere residual fraction of the mass of the
main bulk of undifferentiated continuous
fluid occupying the same space; of which
fluid the particles are hypothetlcally- com
posed, and In which they freely move."
In other words, ell space the universe
of nature Is filled with a vast ocean of
ether which our physical senses cannot
discern and offers no obstavle whatever
to the motion of suns -and planets. Thus,
modem science tells, us that "matter" in
every form and degree of existence, is
from first to last differentiated ether and
can be materialized and dematerlallzed
by a change in the energy within the
ether. This new and remarkable dis
covery of science gives us the key to
the door of physical and psychical nature
by which we are surrounded, and con
cerning which we have hitherto been con
tent to think about in hypotheses. Hence
the prevailing materialism of human
thoughts concerning the physical and
spiritual life and being of our true
selves the' inward-man.
With this new scientific revelation be
fore us, let us read allegorlcally the story
of creation as given in the first chapter
of Genesis; -in which way we can gain
a new light consistent with up-to-date
science. "The spirit of God (the Creator)
moved upon the face of tha waters (uni
versal etheric. space) and darkness was
upon the face of the deep" (ocean of
ether).
First "God said, "Let there be light."
(electricity). .
Second "God said. "Let there he a fir
mament." "" (the Hebrew word is "rakla."
which expresses expansion with the mean
ing of solidity; the- English word -firmament
is derived from the Latin "flrmamen
tum," which has the same meaning as the
Greek word "stereoma," signifying firm,
solid) "'In the midst of the waters
(etheric element) and let It divide the
waters (electrified ether) from the
waters" (stationary ocean of ether). "God
called the firmament Heaven" (which em
braces all physical and psychical pheno
mena In nature, suns, planets and all
animate and tnanlmate material objects).
Third "God said. Let the waters under
the Heaven (amidst the etheric element)
be gathered together unto one space, and
let the dry land appear (the outcome of
electrified ether); God called the dry land,
earth"' (matter).
Fourth "GoA said. Tet the earth
(electrified differentiated ether) bring
forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and
the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind,
whose seed Is in Itself (electrified inherent
living principle) upon the earth."
Firth "God said, 'Let there be lights In
the firmament of the heaven" (nebulae,
etheric element) to divide the day from
the night" (the revolution of all electrified
etheric spheres).
Sixth "God said. "Let the waters (dif
ferentiated form of electrified ether
matter) bring forth abundantly the
moving creature that hath life (psychical
ly, a living soul) and fowl that may fly
above tha earth."
Seventh "God said, "Let the earth
(electrified differentiated forms of ether
throughout) bring forth the living crea
ture after his kind (Individualism In na
ture) cattle and creeping things, and
beast of the earth after his kind (all of
these differentiated forms of electrified
ether).
Eighth "God said, Tt us make man
In our Image, after our likeness,' (God
Is the spirit). God formed man (his
physical body only) f the dust of the
ground (electrified etheric substance) and
breathed Into his nostrils the breath of
life, and man became a living soul"
(psychically & spiritual being after the
likeness of God, and as such an im
mortal being, possessing a differentiated
etheric body for his earth life as well
as a differentiated etheric body soul or
inward man for his Immortal life).
From this etheric view of creation and
of man. we gain an entirely new oon-
Af ma.t.r and material things.
and a far more reliable and intelligent
foundation on which to rest our mww
