She will bring 24,000 barrels, : the same amount that was brought this trip, which will be discharged at the LInnton tank. Pilot Patterson Is mak ing a trip on her. down the coast and rwill return with her. He usually pilots her up and down the river and as she is coming, back so soon concluded to make the round trip voyage. - Since so. many of the Columbia and 'Willamette steamers have begun to use fuel oil rather freely, as well as the pa per mile at Oregon City,, the Rosecrans will be kept in steady commission this ' season. In addition to partially sup. ' plying the Portland demand for crude oil she also carries the product to Nome and the Hawaiian Islands. On the re- i( t Does Shopping Tire You?. .

It was a motley throng that lined up before the bar" of the kan garoo court and showed , hands to the self-appointed magistrate. All were set free by the "kind' old man," and went away light-hearted. , The process by which Hunt deter mines a prisoner's Innocence or guilt la most unique, and demonstrates his great ability to Judge of crime by means of the human hand. "I can tell by looking at a man's hand whether or not he is a criminal," says the head of Portland's police department "If a prisoner's hand Is hard and cal loused, he's not - a criminal, but If It's soft and white, he may be."

Deputy Barnes rinds . tight . Draught Vessels la Demand. ' Deputy Collector Barnes has .gone to Independence. Or., -where he will take government measurements of a gasoline launch, which has been built at that place by Capt George Skinner. The craft will be operated as a freight and passenger boat on the upper- river. ...-r--r -i 6 During the past year, Including gaso line launches, Mr. Barnes has measured 19 boats. In slsettheyrun from 10 to 800 tons carrying capacity. The new steamer Telephone Is the largest In the list v All of these vessels have been built for operation -either on the Wil lamette, Columbia or their .tributaries. It will be seen that despite the al ready large humber of.' boats, the fleet has been' growing at the rate of almost two a months ' Mr. Barnes states that there seems to be more demand for light-draught vessels than any .other kind. They are intended mostly for . use In the shallow waters,'; where It is ' Impossible for the larger craft- to be operated, some ot them draw less than a foot of water. ' The largest vessels "ever measured here were the steamers Columbia and Argyll, the former being 2,976 gross tons and the latter 1,853. At the time the vessels were measured they were plying between Portland and the Orient i. ;. trBEBCKVAV BAILS. ., Aftef having been In port since Jan uary 26, the French bark La Fontaine left -down this afternoon, wheat-laden for the United Kingdom. The cargo Is being dispatched by Balfour, Guthrie & Co.k. A short time ago three of the sail ors deserted, but they were afterward captured and' held In Jail until the ves sel was ready to depart , The captain was one of the few who did not have to secure any new men. The Verclnge torix will be the next French vessel to leave port She has moved from the Irving to, the Oceanic dock, where she will complete her cargo in, two or three days. BBW PISS BOAT.

They were all caught in the police dragnet last night and. early this morning and the most of them represented the great floating population of the wild and wooly west They drifted In on freight trains and on blind baggage cars,' and were nabbed a they alighted. But in a chief of police whose pene trating gaze has power evensuperior to radium, and who can read crime in the human hand, Portland has a most valua ble officer. In this,-manner breakfasts are saved the city, and the" hearts of the taxpayers are made glad. Each meal costs nine cents, and this is a great sav ing. It doesn't matter about the legality of the process not a particle. Little trifles like that do not for 'one moment impede the progress of Charles H. Hunt chief of Dollce. human hand reader and high - juue- ot the- kangaroo -court- for the Portland district a success and has shown the possibili ties in this character of boat says the Budget. The difficulty is thaXundet.ihe present design the propeller cannot set deep enough, and at the same time the arrangement of the boat Is not adapted to the new power.

'The steamer Elder will sail for San Francisco tonight with a large cargo of general freight. . Among It will be a large shipment of goods brought from the orient on the last trip of the In-dravelll. The ancient steel tank that did serv ice for the city of East Portland as long ago as 18 years was brought to the po lice station yesterday and will be in stalled as a portion of the city jail. It Is a tank 16x15 feet square and 12 feet high. It will be used for the most des perate prisoners, and Chief Hunt says it is absolutely safe. ; About 16 years ago, when East port- land was a. city and was governed by a separate council, Mayor Stuart held the reins of-power. . At that time the Sal vation Army created a branch on the east side for the spreading of the gos pel, and; Mayor Stuart and others soon raised much objection , to the open-air meetings held by the religious workers. The captain in charge of the corps re fused to give up any of the privileges enloyed. and as. a result he and his little band were . arrested and thrown into the steel tank, soon, to be again In active serviced however. k.? ;:;; v ,;-. '- Like Paul and Silas of old, the gos pel workers refused to be ellenced by arrest, and songs of praise and prayers ascended on high from the tank. There were about 15 army workers within, and they kept busy with hymns of praise as long as they were locked up. They se cured . some black paint, and the work they did then Is still visible on the In side of the tank to this day. "Jesus is mighty to save," "Jesus can save you," and similar1 inscriptions, were painted on the walls and are plainly visible there now. ; The army people were finally released and went back again to preach and sing on the streets, refusing to be silenced. They were frequently arrested, but after some time they won their cases and the matter was finally forgotten. . WON'T SHUT SUNDAYS (Continued from Page One.) will probably keep -closed during the. day. ;'-''' It Is pointed out that . whereas the St Louis exposition went first to the government for authorization and later to theetate of Missouri, the Lewis and Clark management first received the backing of the state and then sought governmental aid. This leaves the state as thfr chief authority- and the -element of governmental restraint is necessarily less in evidence than It was In the case of the St. Louis exposition. 8. W. Gamble's Threat. : 8. W. Gamble last night Informed the Taylor street Methodist prayer meeting that he was going to personally exert his Influence to throttle the Lewis and Clark fair unless a. sudden change of heart was shown by the management and a Sunday cloning rule adopted. Mr. Gamble Is secretary of the National Sabbath Observance association and de votes his time to the advocacy of, one day In seven for rest ; ' ( Among other things Mr. Gamble said that he had worked In the Interests ot the fair for some time and had asked Secretary Shaw to push the appropria tion, but only on condition . that the gates be closed on Sunday. Mr. Gamble added that he had written to this effect to more than half the members of the lower house, with many of whom ,he was acquainted. ' - ': ; Mr. Gamble alleged that no fair ever made enough out of Sunday admissions to cover the expenses for that day. "Every third person who visits vthe fair will be a Protestant the people who will; come will not be from the slums." Mr. Gamble added: . Will Beep People Away "As a representative of the National 8abbtB Observance ' association I am going to keep as many people from com ing to attend the fair as I can, if you people run the exposition seven days in the week." . . ' Mr. Gamble made a new orthodox di vision when he said: "There are. 10,000 Protestants In this city, besides Episco palians, Lutherans 'and Catholics, who are also In favor of an observance of the 8abbath." - 1 Mr. Gamble believed street-car and railroad men had been misquoted as fa voring the Sunday opening, since they would be forced to work the seventh day to handle the throngs that would go to the fair. He also asserted that the la bor organizations of the coast were against Sunday opening. i BOTXCB TO HABTBXBS. C G. Calkins, lighthouse inspector, has Issued the following notice: .
