Portland's rains in commerce that
moved by water during the year that
ends today, according; to the calendar,
but in reality terminated with the last
business transacted yesterday, were
connnea to nour exportation ana me
combined movement of lumber to for
eign and domestic ports.
. Flour that was dispatched abroad
aggregated 771,360 barrels and that was
$07,633 barrels in excess of the busi
ness of the business for the season of
1910-11. and E65.S00 barrels ahead of
the showing- for the 1909-10 season.
There was a falling off In wheat as
compared with the preceding; cereal pe
riod, but there was an increase of 1.
083,904 bushels over the 1909-10 show
ing;. Lumber Skowtaa; Satisfactory.
In export lumber there was a de
cline over last year, yet the unusual
heavy movement to California brought
the total to 253.148,129 feet, which was
41.003,771 feet more than moved to all
ports by water last season and 39,403155
feet in excess of the amount dispatched
during the 1909-10 period. To domestic
ports 164,9i3,690 feet was sent, which
gave the year a lead over last season
of 5t.836.208 feet and over 1909-10 of
6C.032.490 feet.
In the wheat column no material set
back: was experienced, for while there
were 522.310 bushels less sent foreign
as against last year's business, the gain
at that time over the 1909-10 season
was 1.606,216 bushels, and for the year
ending today there has been a stronger
demand from Mexico and a greater
home consumption, while the heavy ad
vance in the amount of flour exported
more than offsets the difference in
wheat.
Limited facilities for reaching the
Oriental flour market, the action of the
sneamshlp Interests In advancing the
rate, likewise the other differentials
that Portland millers faced in compe
tition with Puget Bound, curtailed the
n.ovement of manufactured stuff, also
diverted some to the north where It
could be moved readily across the Pa
cific. Therefore, while Portland en
Joyed a material growth In flour busi
ness the total of 771.360 barrels does
not represent what could have been ac
complished. Future la Balance.
The coming year's prospects In that
regard are doubtful, owing to the fail
ure so far to decide what sort of fa
cilities will be available to reach the
Far Eastern market. The Harriman In
terests are looked to for a remedy in
either operating a line of steamers or
entering into an agreement with the
Waterhouse fleet to oontlnue, and if a
fair schedule is arranged and the Ori
ental demand again reaches an at
tractive stage Portiana snouia bum
heavier gains in mill exports.
' During June there was no wheat
floated, but one full cargo of flour we.nt
out on the Oriental liner Rygja, repre
senting 66.087 barrels, and valued at
SH64.350, while on the Mandasan Maru,
for Dalny. was a shipment of 3800 bar
rels at 115.268. and on the Lord Derby,
for the ububI Oriental harbors and Ma
nila, was flour to the amount of 11,317
barrels, worth $45,371.
The three best months in lumber ex
perts were October, with 14,002.822 feet;
January, with 12,795,005 feet, and June,
with 12.536,032 feet. In coastwise ship
ments the best month for the year was
Jprll, when 15.659.016 feet was floated,
and only during one month did the
movement fall below 10.000.000 feet,
and that was January, when 9,635,000
ftet waa delivered In California.
' In the summary of the Merchants
Exchange. Issued yesterday, the total
wheat output from Portland for the ce
real year is placed at 9.793,351 bushels
an compared with 11.033.223 bushels
last season. To Mexico 109,043 bushels
iere sent and to California there went
3.982.075 bushels, as against 3,647,370
bushels a year ago.
Puget Sound's total wheat movement
Was 5.029,566 bushels, Portland leading
By 4,763.785 bushels. California drew
on Portland for 357,939 barrels of flour,
soaking the total amount floated from
here 1.128.920 barrels, while last season
ttie flour shipments to all ports aggre
gated only 876.274 barrels.
The only wheat moving from Port
end during June was to California,
which bought 271.994 bushels and in
he way of flour the Bear state drew
M,S27 barrels during the same period.

Columbia River Rendezvous for
Weli-Known Craft."
FLEET HEADED THIS WAY
Steamer Roanoke Is Only Arrival in
San Francisco From North High
Grain Charter Record Out.
Bay City Marine News,
SAN FRANCISCO, - June 29. (Spe
cial.) Five well-known coasters sailed
for . th Columbia River today the
steamers Bear, Willamette, Northland,
F. H. Legett and Qulnault.
The only arrival from the Columbia
was the steamer Roanoke.
The Pacific Mall liner City of Para
sailed for Balboa and the City of Pan
ama arrived from the same port. The
American-Hawaiian liner Alaskan ar
rived from Salina Cruz and the Matson
liner Helonian arrived from Honolulu.
The record for high grain charters
this season was made yesterday, when
Kerr, Glfford & Co. took the British
bark Killarney for wheat from Port
land or Tacoma to the United Kingdom
at 40s. The vessel is a small handy
one of but 1356 tons, however, which
makes her entitled- to a slightly higher
rate than the ordinary. The Danish
steamer 'Arabian has been placed on
the berth at European ports for this
coast by Parrott & Co., agents for the
East Asiatic Line of Denmark. - She
will load in August at Antwerp and
Copenhagen for San Francisco, being
substituted for . the steamer LItuana,
which has been too badly damaged to
load. The Arabian is a large tramp of
3004 tons net register.
The steamer Gamble, 93 days out
from Algoa Bay, for' Port Gamble, ar
rived at Honolulu last night, short of
provisions.
OXEOXTA TO BE INSPECTED
Tug May Have Considerable Work
Done While Here.
Probably the most minute examina
tion the Port of Portland tug Oneonta
has been subjected to since her com
pletion two years ago will take place
Tuesday at the public drydock, as she
has been ordered up from Astoria at
once. The vessel is due for her annual
overhauling and In-order that there
shall be no oversight in keeping her in
condition and her equipment in work
ing order. United States Inspectors
Edwards and Fuller have been asked to
be present.
Manager Talbot, of the Port of Port
land, will leave tonight for Seattle to
confer with officials of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul line regarding
the sale of the tug Wallula, which the
railroad Interests desire to use for tow
ing on Puget Sound. He expects to
return Tuesday in time for the in
spection of the Oneonta. If the Wallula
Is sold, another tug will be chartered
until a new one can be contracted for.
MAPLE LEAF FLEET TO GROW
Line Contemplates Sending Steamers
on Monthly Schedule.
Plans are under consideration by of
ficials of the Maple Leaf line, which
operates from Europe to New York,
then to Vancouver, B. C, and back by
way of Portland and San Francisco, to
increase the service so Portland will
have 12 steamers a year instead of
nine. It is said the question of pilot
age is the one drawback, as the com
pany estimates that $3uu is spent on
each vessel for that purpose every voy
age here and going to and from the
northern port the toll is mucn jess.
The Port of Portland Commission has
a proviso inserted in its pilotage tar
iff that a reduction of 25 per cent will
be made to lines operating 12 or more
steamers from Portland to foreign
porta annually and the Maple Leaf
could take advantage of that. It is
expected that the question will be
talked over at the July meeting of
the Port and some inducement may be
offered.

led the host of operators who
went as the guests of the King .of
England to India to - perpetuate the
ceremonies of the great Durbar In
KJnemacolor (natural color), which
will be shown at the Helllg Theater
every afternoon and evening this week,
beginning today.
Mr. Gosden is on his way to Yel
lowstone National Park to transfer the
glories of the scenio wonders of that
famous place to the Klnemacolor film,
that Europe may see just how America
appears in colors true to nature.
The Durbar, Mr. Gosden declares, was
the largest commission ever received
by a moving-picture concern. A total
of 60,000 feet of negative film was ex
posed, from which was selected some
14,000 feet, when properly connected,
gives a complete view of the entire
Durbar ceremony, including the ar
rival of the party at Bombay.
"We had eight operators at work at
Delhi, where the coronation occurred,"
said Mr. Gosden. "The making of pic
tures began ssveral days before the
Durbar ceremony. We made the round
of various camps, Including the Gov
ernors of the various provinces, the
native ruling princes, the visitors, the
native army, the British army in India.
We also went to the elephant stock
ade and turned the camera on the big
'India taxicaba as they are christened,
obtaining some intimate views of the
dally routine of an elephant's life.
"In making arrangements for pic
tures of the ceremonials, it was found
that the route which had been selected
would not give us a good view of the
King and Queen. As an instance of
King George's democratic methods, he
promptly ordered the route changed
when the matter was put up to him,
and a detour - was made so that the
entire pagenant would pass hi a spot
most favorable to. the Klnemacolor
cameras. Several times during the
course of the ceremony the King and
Queen passed within a few feet of the
camera. '
"Next to the coronation ceremony it
self, the review of 60,000 British and
Indian troops by King George was the
chief spectacle. These troops were the
pick of the two armies in India, in
cluding every branch of the service,
and the parade was a magnificent
affair.
"The pictures ' were made and de
veloped each day right in camp. The
government had provided every facility
for our accommodation, our quarters
being In the American and European
Press Camp, and we - worked with
Bossuet will finish loading lumber at
Prescott today and shift to Westport
to complete her cargo.-
Last of the coasters to clear with
lumber for the fiscal year was the
steamer Carlos, which will carry 650,
000 feet to San Francisco.
In two weeks It Is hoped to have the
new steamer M. F. Henderson, of the
Shaver - fleet, ready for service. The
boiler has been placed and connections
are being made.
Hereafter the Custom-House will
close Saturday afternoons until Octo
ber. It is provided that the attaches
have a half holiday each week during
July, August and September.

WILL PROVIDES COMMUNE
Woman's Request Creates New Ques
tion In French Courts.
PARIS, June 29.-r-(SpeciaL) An in
teresting case is at present taxing the
Ingenuity of the French high courts
"Can a new commune be founded by
will?" The facts are as follows: Mile,
Dupont, an inhabitant of Villeneuve-la-Garenne,
a hamlet forming a part of
the commune of Gennevilllers, near
Paris, bequeathed to the village $20,000
and a considerable estate with the ex
press proviso that the other divisions
of the commune were excluded from
participating. Not less expressly the
will stipulates that the bequest Is to
be applied to the establishment of an
official residence for the mayor on the
estate, and of the various offices of
the commune, and furnishing the
"malrie" and the offices for ose.
The problem at issue is novel. Is
the "mairie" of Gennevilllers to be
transformed to the village, or is a new
commune to be created by giving the
village this official title, or is the knot
to be cut by declaring the will null and

When we returned to England the
Durbar pictures were first shown In

"For the past three months I have

I am now on the way to Yellowstone,
where my people In New York have

"Of American subjects that I have
photographed I think Niagara Falls Is
the most beautiful so far. This, I be
lieve, will also be exhibited at the

"Klnemacolor Is fast supplanting the
ordinary Bioscope (black and white
pictures), because our subjects are
photographed true to nature."
BAND SCORES SUOESS
TOLEDO ORGANIZATION GIVES
THREE CONCERTS.
Amateur Musicians Are Employed In
Factory of Willys-Overland
Company.
Three concerts were given la this
city yesterday by the Overland Band
from Toledo, Ohio, on Its vacation trip,
and the net rerult was a unique, orig
inal and pleasurable musical experience.
"We are here for an outing," said one
of the bandmen. "We are just amateur
musicians who play for the love of mu
sic Our boss foots the bill, and our
pay on this trip goes on just as if we
were working In the factory. Our boss
is a good one, and we don't want to
lose him."
Musically speaking, the Overland
Band, composed of about 40 players, un
der the efficient leadership of Gustav
Keohler, Is a good one en tour. The
musicians play with a splendid enthusi
asm, an obedience to discipline and fine
attention to the niceties of light and
shade that make up very satisfactory
ensemble. In every-day life they are
highly-paid mechanics in the factories
of the Willys-Overland Company, auto
mobiles, Toledo, Ohio, and through the
generosity and public spirit of their
"boss," John I Willys, who paid for
the musical Instruments used in the
band, hired the leader and willingly
continues as the "angel" of the band,
they are enabled to show what Ameri
can mechanics can do with their spare
time. They have baseball, basketball,
bowling and football teams at home,
and are said to be winners In these de
partments, all more or less helped by
the presence and hearty good will of
the "boss." Now, the boys appear on
tour as a band organization, and win.
They do themselves and the folks "way
back" in Ohio proud.
Getting down to exact musical meas
urements, the Overland Band isn't to
be mentioned In the same breath with
the eminent bands of Sousa, Ellery or
Creatore, and it lacks the sweep and
fire ' of the Latins the boys do not
make.any claim of the kind. They keep
In their own place as a high-class, well
trained amateur band organization on
tour.
They won three audiences yesterday.
At the opening concert at the City Park
the audience numbered about 1000. Tbe
selections consisted of such numbers as
"Light Cavalry" overture (Suppe),
"Falrle's Greeting" (Heed), excerpts
from Balfe's "Bohemian Girl," "Lust
spiel" comedy overture (Keber ' Bala),
selections from "Maritana" (Wallace)
and popular music generally. Concerts
were given at tbe Multnomah Hotel and
on the plaza block in front of tbe
County Courthouse, to the great delight
of attending crowds. The applause was
hearty and encores many.
It is interesting to know that the
band is one of many nationalities, and
that there are men in it from England,
Scotland. Ireland, Wales, Germany,
France, Hungary and Russia In addi
tion to native-born Americans. The
Overland Band will leave today for Salt
Lake Clty.
FATAL BULLET MARKED
French Scientist Finds New Method
. to Capture Criminals.
PARIS, June 29. (Special.) The
French scientists maintain their reputa
tion as the most progressive experts In
criminology. The system of M. Bertil
lon Is known throughout the civilized
world. Again, recently, at the Paris
Congress of Legal Medicine, Dr. Bal
thazard communicated a discovery
which will render the chances of escape
of the miscreant who uses firearms
problematic indeed.
By the use of microscopic photog
raphy the doctor has established that a
rifled barrel marks the bullet In a way
that is unique for each Individual
weapon. The hammer also strikes the
percussion cap in one perfectly dis
tinctive place. Thus tbe criminal ex
pert win obtain circumstantial evidence
of the strongest nature that a given
bullet was shot from a given firearm.
Already the method has been put into
practice, and as a result a man named
Houzard has been condemned for mur
der at Tours.

"GARDEN OF EDEH"
BE
Prominent Englishman Sure
Site on Tigris Delta Is
Biblical One.
HOPE IS TO RECLAIM IT
Sir William Willcocks Investigate.
and Discovers Ancient System
Used in Slaking Land One
of Vast Richness.
LONDON, June 29. (Special.) The
vast tract of land forming the delta
of the Euphrates and the Tigris, de
scribed by Sir William Willcocks as
"The Garden of Eden," may, be re
claimed. This at least Is the scheme
which the famous Mesopotamlan ex
plorer has submitted to the Turkish
Government, and which he recently ex
plained at a meeting of the Royal
Geographical Society, held under the
presidency of Lord Curzon.
The theory is that the site of the
garden was devastated by "the dragon
of the Euphrates." If, therefore, the
Euphrates and the Tigris can be mas
tered by dike and barrage. It la held
that the garden can be restored into a
place of fruit and flowers and rich
crops.
"Every part of the Euphrates Delta,
from Hltt to the Persian Gulf," said
Sir William Willcocks, "has been called
Eden that Is, the cultivated and Irri
gated plain, as distinct from the un
lrrlgable plain. The Garden of Eden of
our own Biblical tradition lay, I be
lieve, on the Upper Euphrates, between
Anak and Hltt. The Garden of Eden
of the people of Sumer and Akkad lay,
probably, just north of Ur, of the
Chaldeea,"
Idem Is Explained,
At any rate. Sir William Willcocks
maintains that the Euphrates-Tigris
delta can be reclaimed. "If we wish to
reclaim Babylonia without tens of
thousands of captives weeping by Its
waters, we must provide the Euphrates
certainly and, If possible, the Tigris,
with efficient escapes. The Euphrates
can be mastered thus. The ancients
controlled It by an escape into a de
pression S00 square miles In extent and
60 feet deep, northwest of Kerbela. A
belt of shells gave me the clew, and I
rediscovered it, and now the Tlabbanla
escape, under construction, has been
designed to carry the excess waters of
the Euphrates Into it again.
"The Tigris is a more difficult prob
lem. Provisionally I have suggested to
the Turkish Government to sacrifice
the left bank of the river to the floods
and to create a massive canal and dike
along the right bank. On the other
hand, an escape could be constructed.
If we could overcome the objections
of the Shammar Arabs, we could utilize
a salt-pan southwest of Samara, in
which, as we have discovered, the
River Harthar terminates. We should
have to raise the level of the Tigris
in flood by eight meters, and the two
barrages and canal needed would, cost
230,000,000.
Retnra Wanld Be Large.
"But there would be a splendid re
turn. The value of every acre of land
in the delta would be doubled; it would
be a godsend to Baghdad, and allow
the Baghdad railway to traverse the
cultivated land instead of the desert.
The delta of the two rivers would be
richer than the delta of the Nile and a
safer place for the investment of capi
tal. Indeed, I should say that, as the
Egyptians are so eager to return to
the protection of Turkey, England
would make a good financial bargain
to exchange Egypt for Babylonia. - -
"The first direct irrigation works to
be carried out will be the Feluja and
Hlndle Barrages on the Euphrates and
the canals and drains dependent on
them. On the Tigris the canals to irri
gate the country northwest of Baghdad
will be taken off above the proposed
barrages near Nlmrod's Dam. which
are, I hope, to provide the escape into
the Tarthar depression. The second
barrage on the Tigris will be made at
Koot, to convert the Hal branch of the
river into a permanent canal. Farther
down, at the junction, regulating
works, dikes and canals are proposed
to reclaim the land from Basra to
Khor Abdalla."
Sir William Wllloocks pointed out
that various ruined dams could be re
constructed, and that once flood pro
tection was secured silt prevention
would present another problem. The
two rivers In flood carry five times aa
much deposit as the Nile. "On the
subject of navigation," he added, "I
hold that the water should be monopo
lized for irrigation, and railway trans
port should be substituted for. naviga
tion." MOROCCO REVOLT SERI0U3
Arabs Refuse to Bow to Authority
of French Nation.
MOGADOR, June 29. (SpeciaL)-Th
Nationalist movement, originating In
the Southern Provinces, and headed
by Mulal Hamed el Haiba, Is dally
assuming a' more serious character.
The reported abdication of Mulal Hand
has given a powerful stimulus to El
Haiba's enterprise, and it seems that
all the Atlas chieftains have now sided
with the "Pretender."
An influential supporter of his said:
"We recognize that France has se- .
cured control of the seaports at pres
ent open to foreign trade and the
seven-mile zone defined in the Algecl
ras convention, but we deny the right
of any foreign power to control the
interior of our country. On this is
sue we shall fight No Sultan Imposed
on us by a European nation will be
recognized by the people of Morocco.
If you- can do it you may massacre
our men, women and children, but we
will never willingly submit to foreign
control."
The Pretender is described as a man
of middle height, with a light brown
complexion, slightly bronzed by an out
door life; large and. expressive eyes,
and a firm, not unpleaBlng mouth al
together a typical Arab of the purest
breed. An enthusiastic friend of his
says that be is now 81 or 22 years of
age, and that he has . latterly grown
rather stout, which is the way of most
Moorish "personages."
Save for headgear, consisting of an
exceptionally high "tarboosh" and tur--ban,
bis garb is simple but of the best
material; a dark blue kaftan, with
sllk-embroldered patterns, for Indoor
