She sailed from Yokohama on 'January 7, and to morrow' morning will make IS days that she has been out. HTsually it does not require more than that length of time for the Indrasamha to make the passage. Tha steamer Is coming direct to Port land. A tax of 600 a head for the ad mission of Chinamen has recently been imposed by the dominion government of Canada, and the probabilities are the Portland-Asiatic steamers will .not call at Victoria so regularly as they have in the past It la believed teat the Chi nese tax law will prove almost prohibi tive," if rigidly enforced. No advices have been received by the local office as to 'the number of steer age passengers being brought to Port land. The. cargo is one of the most valuable ever brought from the Orient to the Pacific coast, the raw silk con signment alone being valued at more than 11,000,000. woobbvbh tza.cz orncxx thzes : TO ahbest suspected bubo LABS AHD HAS A HAHKOW SS CAMS OETEXMZHED POSSB IS XX . nrxsxrax or thb hoboes. , - , (Special Dispatch to The JourouL) Woodbum, Or., Jan.

Two months ago, after 18 months of experience, the company concluded that the enterprise wasnot a bonansa its stockholders be lieved it to be, and it was' decided to draw the affairs of the company to 1 close as. quickly as possible. Henry F, Allen, president of the com pany, said last night that the corpora. tion was now rapidly settling its af fairs and would in the near future sur render its charter. Ho Tow had not counted on the changes the six years that had elapsed while he .was away from homo had brought about. , He found that his in nuence with the government was not sufficient to control lucrative contracts. More than . that, the trade conditions had changed and places where Ho Tow expected good markets for flour and hardware were but poor markets. As a manager, Ho Tow is a failure.' A few months ago the stockholders met. Wtiile they believed that the business could be made profitable, yet there was not one among them who could be sent to the Orient as a permanent manager to replace no xow.
