The swift steamer Charles R.
Spencer came down the river yester
day, on the first run of her promised
tri-weekly service between this port
and Portland. She came in about 1 .30
p. m. and made a short swing to reach
the Callender dock, and did some
fancy rolling and pitching before she
tied up. She had but few passengers
aboard this trip, but she made this
run on the old Telegraph schedule
and Captain Spencer says he will
knock that off the river before he is
through with the summer traffic. It
is said the appearance of the Spencer
on this end of the river is liable to
create a rate war between here and
the metropolis as the Bailey Gatzert
is to swing down here on off days and
do what she can to capture the lead
in the business. The Spencer makes
this port on Mondays, Wednesdays
and Fridays until further orders. She
is a handsome and comfortable boat
and thoroughly well handled.
The steamer Sue H. Elmore is to
return to her Astoria-Tillamook run
cutting out the Portland headquarters
and resuming her old home docking
here. Everyone knew when she was
transferred to the other end of the
Columbia's commercial string, it
would not, in the least, affect the un
certainty of her movements out of
this port, nor aid in anyway to ex
pedite the service she is rendering.
She goes over the Columbia bar as
often and as regularly as the condi
tions of sea and weather permit, no
matter where she sarts from, and she
has the quicker despatch from here,

The Peoples of Italy.
Hiere is n marked difference In Btat-
'ire and temperament between the peo
ple of north Italy and those of south
Italy. The reason Is becaiiKe, while
politically one, they are racially sepa
rate peoples. The Longoburdx, or Lom
bards, who about 5(:8 took possesion
of northern Italy and permanently es
tablished themselves In the rich valley
watered by the Po and its affluents,
were of Teutonic stock, their original
home having been the region on the
left bank of the Ellbe, round about
Magdeburg and Lunoburg, Germany,
while the Italians south of Lombardy
are of the old Latin stock. This, fact
explains the physical and other differ
ences between the people from the
north and the people from the south of
Italy.
Washington, with which we have
been in correspondence since March
4th, arrived in the city on Friday and
made arrangements such that during
this summer a thorough test will he
made of the stumps of fir and spruce
as to what may be taken from them in
l the way of commercial bi-products.
Throughout the Southern States
and in many of thc timber states of
the North near the great lakes busi
ness of splendidly paying proportions
has been built up by men who ex
tract in retorts thc bi-products of
stumps, such as turpentine, creosote
and resin, and afterwards turning thc
woody residue into charcoal and pa
per pulp. Formerly in sections of the
country where stumps were thus
treated the price of the stumps utiliz
ed was very low. Now it is not un
common in such localities for thc
price of stumps to be anywhere from
$3 to $6 per thousand. Thc price is
so excessive that some of the bi
product people have been forced out
of liusiness.
The plan is to have the expert
scientists of the agricultural depart
ment determine exactly what products
can be extracted from fir and spruce
stumps of this section, no such tests
ever having been made. Should these
tests show products of a valuable na
ture as will most likely be the case,
then it is proposed to invite the at
tention of all thc stump bi-product
people in the United States to the
proposition of locating in this section
where they can get stumps free of

That the Portland interests should

"The Dredge Chinook lias been

it is safe to again put the dredge in
commission. If serviceable now, it
is believed she could do very effective
work upon the bar crest, as the as

The Dredge Chinook.
As far back as January 22nd of this
year the Chamber took up with Sen
ator Fulton the proposition of secur
ing an appropriation for the repair
ing of the Dredge Chinook so that it
might be put to work on the bar in
the mouth of the river. At that time
the senator believes that it would be
impossible to secure an appropriation
because there would not be any rivers
and harbors bill this session and he
thought that such an appropriation
would have to be made in connection
with that bill. However, the senator
at the request of this organization
made on April 30 has now taken up
the matter of securing thc needed ap
propriation by means of an amend
ment to the Sundry Civial bill, the
amendment carrying with it an ap
propriation of $100,000. Senator Ful
ton ha9 had a conference with the
Chief of Fngincers on the matter and
it seems to be rather likely that we
will yet be able to put the Chinook
into commission before the lapse of
the present summer, Senator Fulton
is to be commended for the able man
ner in which he has handled this im
portant proposition. The various
commercial organizations of Portland
have also interested themselves In the
