Wheat loading for foreign shipment
waa begun again yesterday morning after
a long quiet interval, Tha German bark
Nauarchoa, under charter to Balfour,
Guthrie & Co., began taking on grain at
the Oceanic dock. She will carry about
5,000 short tona mad tip In equal parta
of wheat and barley.
The British ahlp Windsor Park
begun loading today at the Portland
flouring mills. She was chsrtered
short time sgo by a Liverpool firm.
Yesterday th British ship Dunalaw ar
rived at the mouth of the river and
she also will load wheat and flour for
the United Kingdom. Her cargo will
be .taken on at the Portland .flouring
mills.

Grand Ducheaae Olga, 1,67 tons; -the
British ship Red Rock. 1,(44 tons, and
th British ahlp County of Inverness,

On account of th low charter ratea
their owners are waiting for an Im
provement in th market. On th other
hand tli exporters claim that they have
all the tonnage required for present
needs, and with the large number of
vessels en rout to the Pacific coast
they are confident that the ratea will
fall atlll lower. At the present price
of wheat they consider themselves for
tunate In not having a great amount
Of tonnage on hand.
It waa a surprise In shipping circles
yesterday when It waa learned that the
British ahlp Port Patrick was Chartered
to load lumber. It was generally be
lieved that her owners would endeavor
to secur a wheat cargo; but as th
situation In that line was not Inviting
they turned . their attention to lumbar,
as a great many ot tiers wno ar opr

carry her lumber cargo and by wHem
aha was chartered Is not known. Cap

she had been chartered to load lumbar.

Mr. Kirk of tJmatilla County Bays All

Happy Land Is Inoraa
lng la Talo.
T, J. Kirk, formerly representative In
the legislature from Umatilla county,
who farms 800 acres of rich land near
Athena, In that county, is at the Per
kins. Mr. Kirk sold his wheat crop this
year for 70 cents, and finds a good profit
at that figure. He estlmatea the total
yield of Umatilla county at three.
quarters of the usual crop, and thinks
that about 3,500,000 bushels will be aold
thia season. Approximately, half the
wheat has already been sold.
"Wheat landa are being rased in price,
ao that the better class of farms near
Athena now are held at about $76 an
acre," aald !kr. Kirk. "I could sell my
landa at that priee, but believe the land
la leaa trouble to handle than the money
would be. Money Is very easy at 6 to 7
per cent, anyone with good security
being able to obtain loans at that rate
with ease. The land cannot burn up,
nor get lost in any manner, so I prefer
to hold my land.
Our part of Umatilla county nearly
always raises good crops, so that when
prices for wheat are good our farmers
are Invariably prosperous. We don't
know much about hard times up there.
Almost everyone has money In th bank,
and Is In a large measure independent"
Mr. Kirk formerly farmed 4,000 acres
with hla partner, but haa gained a com
petency sufficient to remove him from
worry of" the future, and now handles
only 900 acres. He proposes gradually
to lessen his operations, and to live more
easily during the remainder of his life.
He has been one of the most prominent
figures in the "Eastern Oregon country.

CHANGES IN AID
TO NAVIGATION
On or about October 18, 1908, electric
lights will be substituted for the oil
lamps now snown on "Ban rrancisoo
lightship No. 70.
The vessel is stationed about three and
a quarter miles outside of the bar off the
entrance to San jrr&nclseo harbor, about
10 miles southwest west from Fort
Point lighthouse, and about 600 feet to
the northward of the range line marked
by Fort Point light and Alcatras light.
The characteristic of the lights will
be changed from- fixed white to fixed
white during periods of five seconds
separated by eclipses of 10 seconds'
duration; the height of the lights will
bo Increased to 67 feet and their visi
bility to 13. miles in clear weather, the
observer's eye 1 feet above the sea.
Each light w-lll. as heretofore, be shown
from three lens lanterns encircling a
masthead. No pther Chang will be
made.
Among ithe freight brought to Port
land on the steamer Indrapura this trip
was a large shipment of canned plno
apples. The goods had been pscked In
boxes, each of which containea bdoui
three dosen cans. Viewed at aome dla
tancs they looked very muoh Ilk canned
tomatoes.
When the clerka at the dock yesterday
began to Inspect the goods, which they
are. required to do before shipping them
East by rail, they discovered that many
of the boxes had been broken open.
Further examination revealed the fact
that each box whlchhad been tampered
with contained empty cans. The tops
of them had been punctured full of holes
sufficiently large to allow th fruit to
drop out
Some of th$ steamer's officers whoa
attention waa drawn to the matter gave
very plausible explanation for the
presence of the empty cans. They at
tributed the seemingly singular occur
rence to the Oriental cunning of
the Chinese longshoremen who
loaded the cargo at Hong Kong, While
in the depth of the steamer's hold ar
ranging the cases they had evidently
been seised rather frequently with an
uncontrollable desire to - sample the
tempting fruit. A board was removed
from a box and several cans extracted.
A spike was then probably utilized to
make the, holes, and a hungry China
man aid the rest. Then the empty cans
wer restored to their former place in
the box and the board renailed to cover
up all outward eigne of the theft. By
the time all the celestials engaged in
loading the vessel had appeased their
hunger quit number of boxes imd ben
broken into snd robbed of a can or so.
Regardless of how much care la ex
ercised, it is aald that email thefts of
this character are constantly being
perpertated by a Chinese crew engaged
in loading a ship. It is said that they
ceiieve in living nign wnne working and
the lack of a canopener does not disturb
them in the least.

and is NOT THE HIGHEST PRICED. IT SAVES FUEL AND CAN BE

There is no better evidence thai the is absolutely the best than
the fact that two years ago we sold 600, and last year 1,000. This year we expect
to sell about 2,000 Every person who buys one, tells his neighbor or friend, and in
this way an endless chain of good things is constantly being said for the ROYAL RIVAL
