Sept. 1C. Tho visit of Secretary Straus to the Pacific Coast. Including the Hawaiian is lands, has' been a most enjoyable one, and ls likely to lead to practical results. A firm believer In tho idea that the vast interests entrusted to his safe-keeping could not bo entire ly administered from his desk In Washington, tho Secretary determin ed to make a personal Inspection of the workings of the department away from the capital, and to becomo per sonally acquainted with the various officials having supervision. ' Ho ac cordingly planned a trip along the Canadian border to Vancouver, and thence south through Seattle and Portland to San Francisco. Ho re turned to Washington today, and talked freely about his experiences, especially those In the Hawaiian Islands. When he arrived at Hono lulu tho islanders were out In force o greet him and his party. They were taken to tho hotel In automo biles, tho routo being lined on both aides by the people, who were en thusiastic in their demonstrations. The presence of Representative and Mrs. Nicholas Longworth added to tho warmth of tho demonstration. At the hotel delegations from tho Board of Trade, Merchants' Ex change, Chinese, Japanese and other societies greeted the Scrotary, ex tended invitations to .dlnnors and made requests for speeches. Secretary Straus mado several notable addresses whilo at Honolulu ono at a banquet given In his honor by Mr. Hatch, and at a dinner given by tho Honolulu Chamber of Commerco, the policy of tho govern ment' In relation to the Islands was touched upon. On the latter occa sion one of the largest and most re presentative bodies of business mon over gathered in Honolulu assembled to present the commercial needs of tho islands. L. A. Thurston, speak ing In behalf of tho merchants and plantors, described certain commer cial disadvantages resulting from an nexation, laying particular stress up on tho necsesity for a modification of the coastwise shipping laws ap plying to tho islands, which pennllze tho carrying of passengers and freight between the territory, and tho mainland of tho United States In other than American bottoms. Ow ing to tho infroquency with which vessols of that description stop at Honolulu, Mr. Thurston declared that largo quantities of fruit rot up on, tho wharves whilo awaiting ship ment and that tho samo lack of transportation facilities acts as a peculiar harshlp upon residents of tho territory who were often obliged, as a result of Illness or pressing llnnnclnl matters, to leave for tho United States on a vossel of foreign registry and thereby Incur tho flno jot $200 which our navigation laws Impose. Replying to this address Secretary Straus assured tho Islanders that ho would endeavor to hayo existing grievances remedied, and concluded Ills address by saying: "I have knowledgo and oxporlonco of the fact that ono of the greatest shortcomings in tho way of the pro gress of tho islands ls that thcro ls not sulllciont communication bctweon thorn and tho mainland. This you must have, and you ought to havo, and spoaklng Indlvldunlly and offi cially, I promlso you that I shall do everything within my powor to as sist In getting tho shipping facilities that you need. I nm familiar with those places which aro tho favorod lauds for tourists, and my eight days' stay hero has convinced mo that there Is no land on tho face of tho earth, considering cllmnto and popu lation, and considering benuty and wttrnctlvoness of scenery and charms of hospitality, which offers so much to tho tourist, either is health or pleasure, as this Eden of tho Pacific." Theso declarations wero onthusl- nstlcally applauded, and upon con cluding tho Secretary was geuorously cheered. On anothor occasion tho Secrotary was waited upon by a delegation of Japanoso editors, representing tho four Japanoso newspapers of Hono lulu, who called to ascertain bis Ylows regarding Japanese matters In tho government under Which they live; of loyalty to the interests of the islands which afford -such happy and ideal homes for them and for their children." These remarks, which were re ported in all of tho newspapers American, Japanese and Chinese, met with an enthusiastic reception. One of the most interesting dinners tendered to tho Secretary was given by W. It. Castle, an old schoolmate, who graduated from Columbia Uni versity with Mr. Straus, in, the law class of '75. The guests included tHc leading educators of the island, who entertainingly described the pub- ure. While it is understood there ls little hope that he will emerge from the ordeal with his life, there ls room for hope. Mr. McDuff was at San Francisco last fall and had a pre vious operation, which for a time, was supposed to have removed the trouble, but It came back and tho operation of today ls the last resort to save his life. GOVERNMENT AID FOR YUKON FAIR Director Reed Says Senttte Kxposl- tlon Will Profit by Port- laud's Experience. Henry Reed, director of publicity of the Alaska-Yukon exposition to be held at Seattle In 1909, came to Portland today to look after personal business but was willing to talk a few minutes about tho Seattle fair. He stationed himself for half an hour at the Chamber of Commerce on Stark street and elucidated the situa tion to newspaper men and others who called. payable October 1. This Is tho fourth or fifth of theso concerns organized In Helena with in the past few years to pay' such large dividends. Among them are tho Riverside Land & Livestock com pany, which earned 2ii per cent; the AVinnecook, 25 per cent; the Clear Range, 24 per, cent, and tho Foster, 30 per cent. Tho method has been the- forma tion of syndicates which would take over the large sheep ranches of cen tral Montana, and practically all of the stock Is owned In Helena. The high prices for sheep, lambs and wool has enabled this rather remarkable record as viewed from a financial HUNTING PARTY HAD KILLED NO DEER The hunting party consisting of A. J.

Somebody with a vein of humor, tinged with sarcasm, put up a sign sometime during the day which warned hunters away and said that no hunting was allowed on the premises. At a late hour, 4t had not been removed. "The Yukon exposition will be j standpoint, but tho greater gain Is ul fully as great If not greater than the tlmately expected from the enhanced Lewis and Clark fair. It couldn't be value of the lands, somo of which much greater and bo handled without have been secured at as low as $2 financial loss," he said. "We are now getting ready to go to the gov ernment with a request for govern ment participation and an appropria tion of $1,175,000. I think wo will gel it. This amount will Include gov ernment buildings, fisheries and the like. Wo vUl try to havo on aqua rium built." The Lewis and Clark fair cost ap proximately $10,000,000, including value of exhibits. The Seattle fair will, it is claimed, be done on a scale practically as large, and will be able to get more high class exhibits on account of the favorable experiences of exhibitors at the Lewis and Clark fair. There were many fine" exhibits sought by the Lewis and Clark man agement, but not obtained, owing to the lack of fore-knowledge of this kind of enterprise on the 'Pacific coast, and the imagined di'!"c'ilties of transportation. The success of the Lewis ir 1 C ark fair has been of lncalculr.b.o .jciiefit to the Seattle project, by showing the way and revealing the hidden rocks that a coast exposition must avoid.

OUT OF THE FRYING PAN INTO THE FIRE Amidst tho waving of flags and tooting of whistles and tho cheering of all present, tho newly constructed steam schooner Bowdoln slid grace fully off her skids and plunged into tho waters of tho Coquille, at the Heuckondorff shipyard, yesterday af ternoon at 3 o'clock. A largo per centageof tho river craft was pres ent, and tho gasoline schooner Fish from tho Bay, came over with a crowd.. A barge with seats was im provised and accommodated a large number who wanted to go up from here. Tho Bowdoin is a magnificent ves- sol. It Is tho sister ship of the Wol- losley, which was launched hero last Bprlng, and, but for a fow mhior de tails which was changed, it ls the exact counterpart. Captain W. J. Maloney, who has been superintend ing tho construction work of the vessel, has been in Bandon for the past six months. Ho ls accom panied by his wife and littlo daugh ter, Loyola, who christened tho good ship, Bowdoln. Whilo it is with rogrot ho has to leavo his many now ly mado friends and acquaintances, still ho is anxious to get back again upon tho wnter. Tho Bowdoln has practically tho samo dimensions as tho Wcllesley. Sho is 200 foet over all, and has a keel 1S5 feet long, 38 foot benm, 13. C foot depth. Her estimated cargo will bo eloso to a million feet a load. Sho will havo tho host hoisting apparatus installed, and will bo modernly equipped In every de tail. Tho now bont will probably bo towed to tho Bay for a lumber cargo, as sho draws too much wntor to go over our bar loaded. Sho is named after tho school for young Indies of that namo in tho east. Bandon Recorder. PORT COMMISSION TO MEET THIS WEEK Henry C. Diers, chairman of the Port of Coos Bay Commission, who was in Marshfield yesterday, said there would be a meeting of the commission this week, probably on Thursday. The purpose for which the commission was selected is pro gressing well and the members are highly gratified over the encourage ment they aro receiving frorii all sids. Mr. Diers has no doubt the proposed dredging will be carried out as planned and says the people are generally In favor of It. The matter will receive no rest until lt is ac complished and tills ls the spirit which does things. More of it Ib needed on tho bay, but of late there havo been so many evidences of fc velopment of tho progressive spirit that there Is no telling where It will all end.
