STEAMS IP RIVER TO CAXTON
; M. S.-THlIar Ha Distinction of Be
"Jnic First of? Class to Port.
With 1000 tons of crude sulphur on
board, the big British tramp steamship
M. S. rolIar. In command of Captain
It. L. Morton, reached Portland at 5
o'clock yesterday morning from Pwan
on Bay. B. After discharging the
sulphur at Gteenwlch dock, the M. S.
l'ollar will drop down to Llnnton.
where she will load 3.000,000 feet of
fir lumber for Hankow and Shanghai.
Since the M. S. Dollar left here last
May with a similar lumber shipment
for Manila, she has had an eventful
time. From Manila the big freighter
went to Canton. China. By going S2
miles up the Canton River to the City
of Canton, she achieved the distinction
of being the first large steamer that
has ever made that trip. Half way up.
the M. S. Dollar went through what Is
known as the Tal Sheh barrier, a wall
of rock put up by the Chinese to keep
French warships out of the river. A
passage Just wide enough for one ves
sel at a time is now open, but, as there
Is only 18.S feet of water over it, and
the M. S. Dollar was drawing 15.8 feet
with her cargo. Captain Morton waited
for the tide, to Insure perfect safety.
The M. S. Dollar also stopped at
Mojl. Hongkong. Kobe. Hakodate and
taru. At Hakodate she loaded 1000
tons of sulphur, half of which was left
at Swanson Bay, and at Otaru took on
board 1,150.000 feet of Japanese oak
for San Pedro and Mn Francisco.
BARGE IS TO CARRY WHEAT
Experiment to Be Tried on Upper
River at Once.
Directors of the Open River Transpor
tation Company decided yesterday to try
the new plan of transporting wheat by
barge down the Columbia River Irom the
Inland Empire to Celilo. One wheat
barge, the use of which will be watched
as an interesting experiment, has been
ordered built at once at Celilo. This
barge wlU he SO feet long by 30 beam,
and will have a capacity of 200 tons of
wheat, which is as great a that of the
ordinary light draught steamboat In
these waters.
This barge will be towed with Its load
of wneat between Kennewick or Pasco
and Celilo by the steumer Twin Cities
or Inlir.d Empire. As the steamer will
also he loaded to Its full capacity, the ad
dition of the barge, if it is found that it
run be manaaed in thotw swift waters.
will about double the amount of wheat
that can be transported on one trip. The
barge will draw only three feet, which
Is light enough to enable It to be kept
In commission during even the lowest
stages of the river.
If the barge method proves successful.
It will go lar toward solving the trans
portation problem in the rush months and
additional barges will be built at once.
When the wheat season is in full swing,
it is almost more than the two steamers
tan do to handle all the tralfic on the
upper river unaided.

I trip some weeks ago the Barrett did
; some sensational running. She aver
f aged, over about the same course as

ing the first part of the building, but

SALEM, Or.. Aug. 14. (Special.) The

the bond was $75.90. interest coupons
$-7.52, interest on bond J10.05, making a
total of $113.47.
These bonds were Issued under an act
approved October 22. 1ST4. The bonds ma
tured January 1, 1SS0. and interest ceased
LVcember 1, 1SS1. For many yeaLS there
has been but the one bond unredeemed
and recently a friend of Sherlock noticed
the statement of the bond Issue in ti e
annual report of the State Treasur-jr,
and lost no time in calling the attention
of Sherlock to the fact that the state
owed him money which It was willing and
anxious to pay. Sherlock furnished un
disputed proof of his right to the sum,
which was accordingly paid him.
