After being Inspected by Dr. Earle. who found all of her men in good health, the liner proceeded up the river to discharge her freight She brings a cargo of oriental stuffs. Captain Wagner tells a story similar to that related by other master re cently arriving from the far east. It is Impossible, he says, for foreign mas ters to secure Information a to the progress or tne war, tne Japanese maintaining the strictest reticence. He sys the people or Japan are enthusi astic over the progress of event and have the utmost confidence that the war will result In signal victory for their arms. But they will tell nothing, and strangers are regarded with the greatest suspicion. The Nlcomedla' captain was at Port Arthur last October. He state that the officials of that port are anything but accommodating to shipping men and adds that his vessel wa delayed there some days because of the Indif ference of the cutsoms officials. He Is not at all Impressed with the port. On her last trip for the German company, which owns her, the Nlcomedla took a cargo of cement and Iron from Ham burg for Port Dalny, but could not se cure permission to land the stuff, and was forced to unload at Hongkong. Nothing of a warlike nature came under the observation of the officers of the Nlcomedla. Her passage across the Pacific was not at all agreeable,, much bad weather having been en countered. Just before leaving Yoko- horna two Japanese stowaways were found and put ashore. The men were smuggled aboard by two Chinese boat swains, who accepted 170 yen for the service. When the stowaways were dis covered the Chinese ran oft. The Nlcomedla has no passengers this trip. It was expected a consign ment of ghesla girls would come over on her for the world's fair, but when she departed it was made known the little Japanese misses would find other means of transportation. Some of the Chinese members of the liner's crew were formerly connected with the Indra liners and are quite familiar with this port. They speak excellent English and conversed free ly with those who boarded the Nlco medla yesterday afternoon. She left up the river about 9 o'clock last night in charge of Captain Pease. The oriental liner Nlcomedla arrived In port yesterday afternon on her maiden trip to the Columbia. She Is In command of Captain Wagner and carries a crew of 39 Chinese. While not quite so large as the Indraaamha, the last of the Indraa to leave this nort. i she is more attractively built. When I railing k ! Fvalualon Law. she crossed in she was drawing 20 feet.

Stringent iteration of the Chinese exclusion laws Is attributed by a prom inent Astoria resident In cUwe touch with the salmon Industry aa the reason of the demand for additional white labor to the exclusion of the Mongolians. A few years ago only Chinese labor was employed for the cannery labor from the time fish were delivered at the canneries until their disposition In the warehouses or dellv ered for shipment to distributors throughout the world. 'Gradually Chinese lnbnr hns been dismissed for several years." snld this gentleman, "until at present there Is more difficulty experienced In aeeur Ing sufficient help than at any previous time. One of the big cannerle en deavered to use white laborr alote last year, but found It Impossible to em ploy as many persns aa were re quired for the operation of the plant and fiaally succeeded In getting Chinese Hut the scarcity of the labor Is opening a new field of profitable employment for boys and women. This Is the best class of labor to be had, because of the extreme care exercised by white labor In cleaning and handling the fish. There has been a scarcity of white la bor because people do not understand that the work is really not disagree able and pays quite well. "Cannery employment certainly, seems to offer the most promising op portunity to youths and women for employment, quite as healthful and In most respects as desirable as the field work done by the same sort of work er In the sugar beet fields. While considerable Japanese labor ha been employed recently, there Is preference for white men, women and boys about the Plants that Is made Influential In making sentiment favorable to pay ing higher prices for the more desir able class of workmen."

' She brings a gen eral cargo for Balfour, Guthrie & Co The vessel left Rferdam December 6 and was 164 days on the trip.
