The Portland Cordage company of this city Is constructing a big manufac turing plant at Interbay. near Seattle. The factory buildings will be ready for use within two months, according to the local officials of the company. The local concern is not following a policy of expansion throughout the northwest cities, but decided to estab lish a factory at Seattle to handle the northwest trade with greater facility. Present plans do not provide for the es tablishment of factories In any other cities, according to officials of the com pany. A force of 90 men Is now employed in the construction of tha Seattle factory. There will be nlna bulldlnga altogether, including the factory building, the hen) warehouse, the tar rooms and offices, and an Immense structure 1,(00 feet long to be known aa the rope walk. The buildings are to be of concrete blocks which are now being made. These blocks will have an exterior finish sim ilar to that of stone blocks, and will greatly add to (he appearance of the completed structure. Already the Portland Cordage com pany has the largest plant on the coast and with the completion of the Seattle factory will have one of the largest plants In the United States. The raw material Is Imported from the Philippine Islands, and Seattle will be made one of the distributing points for the north west. Until recently the west has been supplied largely by the factories In New Orleans and other southern cities. The local company, however, has been cut ting Into the business and now supplies a lsrge territory. Llks the local fac tored, the Seattle branch . will supply everything from 8-inch cables to binding twine. UNION PACIFIC IS BOOMING OREGON A letter from E. I..

WAS HELD UP BY ILL-FATED RUOR1K Captain Benneche. master of the American barkentlne James Johnson, which began receiving a cargo of lum ber at the Portland mill yesterday after noon, aays that the Russian cruiser Ruorlk, sunk- by the Japanese squadron the other day. Is one of the three ves sels that held him up near Hakodate not many weeks ago. He states that he recognized the name of the cruiser as COURTNEY MEETS ' SEVERE REBUFF POOR FARM MARAOER TTJRRS TWO ou mer out an cotiwtt JUDOE ORDERS THEM READMIT TRT OOUJtTRRI'S PROTEST UN- ' J. E. Courtney, auperlntendent of the poor farm, turned two old men out on the streets because they committed a breach or discipline at the Institution. His order was countermanded-by County Judge Webster Tuesday, whereupon Courtney burst Into the Judge's pri vate office In a rage and endeavored to force him to retreat from the position he had taken In the matter. Though the Irate head of tha poor farm used lan guage ahowlng that he had thrown Judg ment 4o the wlnda, the court treated him courteously, while firmly refusing to withdraw the order. Patrick Maloney and Hugh Qulgley, two old Inmates of the poor farm, came to the city and took several drinks be fore returning to the Institution. Ma loney has lost the lingers of both hsnds and Is unable to work. Qulgley haa 4 always done a good deal of work and never had any trouble with Courtney previously. When they were ejected from the poor farm they applied to Judge Webster. They admitted their fault and professed repentance. He Issued an order return lng them to the institution. Judge Webster was sitting In his pri vate office conversing with Jsy H. up ton, clerk of the court, and Dudley Evans, tha county health offlcer, when Courtney burst Into the room. His fane wss flushed and his lips trembled with rage. "Look here. Judge. I am hot under the collar about these two men you have returned to the farm, he aald. "How can you expect me to oonduct the place rightly If you sre going to over ride all my orders? Those old fellows were drinking vnd deserved to be disci plined. Now they will .go and do the same thing again. Judge Webster said the old men had admitted their fault. Ha did not be lieve there would be any more trouble with them. "What yould you have them do- starve? he queried. "Let them starve for a whlla." de clared Courtney, bringing his flat down heavily on his knee by way of em phasis. 'That's what they need. They should be disciplined good and hard." "Your ldeaa ara wrong, Mr. Court ney," said the court. 'We are not ruir nlng a penitentiary out there to enforce discipline, but a charitable Institution. These slips on tha part of the old fel lows are to be regretted, but you should remember that their lives are not very bright, os It is. Tou knew neither of them could work and would have to go bsck." Rising from his .chslr. Courtney stamped around the room two or three times, his anger such that ha could heardly control himself. "Well," he Anally blurted out as he left the room, "you are the one in au thority and ran do as you please. nilt those men ought to be starve! for a few days, even If they sre old. I refuse to rV responsible for what they do In the future;' Schedule of Steamer T. J. Potter.' The seaside steamer T. J. Putter will leave Portland. Ash street dock, for Astoria and Ilwaco. as follows: August It, Friday, I a. m. August 20. Saturday, 1 p. m. Oat transportation, snd berth tickets at U. R. N. ticket office. Third and Washington streets. "Well. I can't say that thay did," aha replied, and then added emphatically, "but I got the vote of the women, that's one thing I would Ilka to have under stood." ' Mrs. Hutton has "gone in" fo.r poli tics. She has not written a book since her story on the Wardner bull pen. which aha aaya la now ancient history and "never had claimed for it any literary merit, anyhow." Her experience as a campaigner haa convinced her that women are natural politicians, and that in perceptive powers thay ara far ahead of men. She aaya they are deeper achemera and can think farther ahead on the subject they are talking about. "If I could talk as fast aa I think." she declared. "1 would be a great power on the stump. But I have not a natural adaptability for public speaking. I be come embarrassed and do not Bay al ways what I wish to say.". Mrs. Hutton takes an Intense inter est In Idaho politics. She is Immensely pleased with tha recent victory of Du bois and tha ticket nominated, and she lg certain that the Democrats are going to win with this ticket and platform. "It must win. We will see to It that It doea win." she said, with the posltlve nesa of a member of the committee on ways snd means. .The ruling motive in Mra, Hutton's political activity la tha Mormon question. Bhe wanted Mormon lara rooted out of Idaho. She aaya that the last election in that state waa con ducted from Salt Lake and that Idaho Mormons simply do aa they are told by tha Utah church. "We want our Idaho politics to be from Idaho people." she said. It Is her opinion that there ara more polygamous families In Idaho than there are in Utah In comparison with the population. She saya the practice la ex tending to the Indians on the reservation. soon as he read the press dlspatchea giv ing an account of the battle. "That Is the same craft," he said, "from which the officers disembarked and came aboard the Johnson.- She waa the smallest of the three that partici pated In our capture. There must have been quite a number of Japs went down with her. for the officers told me that they had about (0 prisoners down In the hold." BOATS DELAYED BY LOW WATER VATXOATXOV OR UPPER WILLAM ETTE I IMPEDED RY RARS AT THE MOUTH OF THE CLACKA MAS ARD A DREDGE IS DE BY C APT AIRS. Captain Rtgga, master of the Olenola, reports that navigation Is carried on between here and Oregon City under adverse clrcumstanceay Whlla taking a bargeload of fuel oil to the Clackamas county metropolis yesterday the vessel bumped on the bottom quite frequently, and at times It began to look aa. though he would be unable to complete the trip. He aays the greatest difficulty la ex perienced at the rapids near the mouth of the Clackamas river, and he believes that the new government dredge built for the upper Willamette river can be put to work there to advantage. The loaded barge waa only drawing four feet of water, but he declkres that it repeatedly came In contact with the river bed. He would have managed to have gotten along all right, he explains, had It not been for the fact that the channel Is exceedingly narrow. The captain asserts that It is not sufficient ly wide In many localities to permit the passage of any more than one boat at a time. Tha Qtenola Is of rather light draft, and got along without any trou ble, but the barge extended out over the channel, and caused whnt he termed an unnecessary -delay. He believes that th new dredge could be put to no bet ter use than to widen and deepen the waterway near the rapids. The stage of the river Is becoming lower every day. and the owners of the various concerns that are equipped with oil burning plants at Oregon. City are anxloua to get a big supply of the fuel on hand before the low-water season makes It Impossible to continue the traffic. It Is announced by the repre sentative of the National Oil a Trans portation company, which la supplyin the fuel that the Crown Paper company has been furnished with all the oil that it will need until fall, and an effort is now being made to gat the Willamette Paper company In the same condition He estimates that four more bargeioads will suffice to do the work, but on ac count of the present low stage of tha river only one trip can be made a day LOCAL OPTION TO 6E COUNTY ISSUE Local opttonlsts are becoming active. In anticipation of the November elec tions. A petition for a vote on whether the county shall be without Intoxicants for consumption by everybody "having tha price" until a year from next June has been filed with County Clerk. The petition contains about 550 names. The vote will be for the whole county. If the county votes for no liquor each precinct gets no liquor. If the county votes for the sale of liquor any pre cinct that votes otherwise will have to do without It. The proponents of pro hibition say that they expect many pre cincts to vote against the sale of liquor, but hardly expect the county to favor prohibition as a unit. World's Fair Travel. The September sales of world's fair tickets promise to be a record-bresker. The Canadian Pacific la now making reservations, and those Intending to visit ths fslr at thla time should make early preparations. n would be well to keep In mind the fact that the Journey eta this routs can be made with comforW It being cool And free from dust and heat, JRTATIOR III DEVELOPMENT, MART POl REERQ OUTLET TO aODATIXJtB. Tha Tonopah mining district In Nevada haa, according to latest accounts, been worked regardless of the' rules of min ing, by the men who leased the big pay streaks, and although Tonopah's new railway outlst to Bodavllle, connecting with (he Oi a C. railway, waa completed Monday with the driving of the golden spike, it will be some time before there is any considerable work for nfiners In the district. A Portland man who re turned from Tonopah said: "It Is an extremely rich country. That Is proven by the fact that up to this time they have been hauling the ore 80 miles by wagons to a narrow gauge railway and then transferring It twice before it reached a smelter, and still It paid rich rewards to those who got In early. A number of men have made fortunes. Frank Oolden, tha first man to lease a mine from the dlacoverer of the Tonopah district, has built a solid block of busi ness houses, and Is worth $300,000. Cat and Wllae Bower have cleaned up half a million dollars. Shorty Kendall has made his fortune, and others have done well. James J. Hill, Jr., and young Rockefeller are there now, and having the time of their Uvea. Rockefeller and his friends went into a gambling house the other day and the young man played $6 on No. 17. between the 0 and 00. He lost, and after they went away he kept bemoaning his luck, and claimed he had received a "hunch" to play the No. 17, Well.' said young Hill. If you're going to cry about that all tha evening, here's your money,' and he handed Rocke feller 16. "John T. McKane, who represents the Schwab Interests, Is spending the sum mer at Tonopah. After Schwab visited the place a few months ago I heard htm talking of Its prospects, and he spoke In the highest terms of what he had seen there, and predicted for Tonopah a great future. At present there la a vast amount of ore on fne dumps and It will be some time before the camp Is ready for work. Thoae who have worked the mines have Just followed the rich veins and gone after the gold regardless of rules of mining. The result Is that the owners or the subsequent lessees will have to do a lot of work to get the mines In shape for further work."

TRIES TO DEFRAUD BY BOGUS RECEIPTS Charged with obtaining 1700 by false pretenses from a Pendleton business man named Irving, a warrant of arrest waa aerved on George Lamont yesterday by Sheriff Taylor of Umatilla county and Deputy Sheriff QrussL It Is alleged that Lamont, who works for Irving at Pendleton aa a candy maker, came to this city a few days ago with 1400 of his employer's coin to purchase Ice cream freezers. He sent receipts for the expenditure of the money to Irving, but asked that they be returned. The receipts were returned with $800 more, which Lamont claimed was re quired to get all the machinery needed. Yesterday Lamont wired for $100 more. Irving grew suspicious and telegraphed the Willamette Iron works and other places from which receipts had presum ably been obtained. They answered that Lamont waa unknown to them. Sheriff Taylor advised that Lamont be wired that tha $100 would be sent' Taylor then took .the train for Portland and with Deputy Orussl was at the postomse waiting for Lamont when he appeared. Allen Lewis' Pat Hrand )WHAT DID THE frwKk. WXU RR PLACED XR OOMMXRSIOH XV POUR OB PIVB LXRTR COHOSH LO Another ferry boat will soon be In commission between lower Alblna and west Portland. It is believed that everything will be In readiness for tha craft to go on the run next month. F. A. Ballln. the architect, has been instructed to draw up the plana and specifications for the landing slips. Tenders will then be called for 'and a contract for their construction will be let to the lowest bidder. It Is tha In tention to rush matters and get tha new Una In running order as quickly as pos sible. For a time It was feared that the boat would have to He Idle for several months on account of the Inability of .those having tha matter in charge to secure landing sites for her. This difficulty wag finally overcome by property being pur chased where the old mill formerly stood belonging to J. A. Martin, on this side of the river, and at the foot of Randolph street, on tha eaat aide. When tha uncertainty of securing sites waa manifest, an agitation was started: to have ths veaael placed In operation alongside of the1 Morrison street bridge. The engines of the vessel will be given a trial tomorrow, bur the official teat will probably not take place until Saturday. At that time It la atatad that aha will be taken quits a distance up the river. When tha Lionel Webater, tha name by which the boat haa been christened, is In commission, the residents In the lower part of tha city will be provided with excellent facilities for getting across the river. There will be two fer ries close together In that neighborhood. On every trip the present ferryboat la crowded with teams and foot passen gers. Tha team traffic la particularly large. TROUBLESOME BUG INVADES PORTLAND For several days officers who ara stationed In that neighborhood and who are engaged in bualneas at Fifth and Morrison streets have been endeav oring to ascertain Jhe cauae of the dis agreeable odors that have permeated that section of the city. Until today all efforts were futile. The stench was found to arise from the presenoe of a small black bug that had Invaded that part of the city. Be fore the dlacovery of tha bug, houses and cellars had been searched and the entree neighborhood ransacked to learn the cause of the unpleasant odor. The bug was discovered by J. M. Fish er, on Fifth street between Morrison and Yamhlfl, and was taken before an au thority on bsrgology. The genua of the Insect had not been determined by tha scientists, and it Is believed that ft la new to thla vicinity. Mr. Fisher vtslted tha various drug stores near his office yesterday with the odoriferous bug, trying to discover Its identity and a certain poison. His search waa In vain, and the last place be visited tha prescription clerk aald, after anlfflng at the sample bug: "Why, we have been bothered with those Insects for weeks, and have tried everything In stock, from chldrlde of lime to carbolic acid, and the blamed bugs seem to thrive on tha worst dose we cRn concoct," After this blow Mr. Fisher Journeyed sadly back with his sample bug and still awaits deliverance from the pest. SOUND LOGGERS ARE . UNITED AND HAPPY r-r One of the largest loggers on the Co lumbia saya that logs ara bringing a much better price on the sound than here, for the reason that the output was curtailed there. He further stated that lumber la selling higher at sound points, aa the mlllmcn curtailed their output until the yards In various sec tions of the country were short on stock. The loggers reduced the quantities of logs cut until the mills had a good ex cuse to shut down until such times as there waa a more urgent demand. However, he aays, conditions are dif ferent on the sound. The mlllmen and loggers there work together for a com mon purpose and manage to sustain stirrer prices. While the Portland mills stand together on retail trade, they sac rifice each other In the matter of out side shipments. The loggers have never been able to get together on any kind of a proposition, and each logger la In ac tive competition frith Ms neighbor. PLEADS GUILTY TO ESCAPE DARK PEN "Being assured of a lighter sentence In case I plead guilty, I will go that rather than plead not guilty and have to say In that hole downstairs until the grand Jury la drawn in September," de clared John Miller, alias John F. Wag ner, when taken into the circuit court before Presiding Judge Oeorge. He waa charged with obtaining money by false pretenses from Mrs. Hannah Segerholm, a lodging house keeper, drawing a check for $35 on the First National bank when ha had no money there. The court asked several questions, and was Informed by Deputy District At torney Adams that Miller is accuaed of a similar offense but pleaded guilty with tha understanding that It would not be pressed against him. Ha was sentenced to serve a -year in the penitentiary, and left the room, shaking his head In dis approval. MAYOR IS PLEASED WITH NEW PAVING 'There Is an Immense amount of good substantial street improvement going on In tha city," remarked Mayor Will iams yesterday afternoon after he had returned from his Inspection of the stgeet Improvements with Whitney L Boise and City Engineer Elliott "I was greatly surprised to note with what rapidity tha work Is being done. "The First street bridge over Marquam gulch Is a fine structure. Work Is progressing on It and it will aoon be ready for travel. It Is a much better bridge than I expected to And. 'With the completion of the Improve ments now being made our streets will b In fairly good condition and by next spring we hope to have them much bet ter.
