ARABIA HAS BEEN
EMPTIED AND FREED
Local Agents Notified That Captured Steamer
Has Left Vladivostok After Cargo Was
Confiscated by the Russians
Official word was received In the city
yesterday to the effect that the oriental
liner Arabia, held as a captive by Russia
since July 21, sailed on Wednesday for
Shanghai. Before leaving Vladlvoatok all
of her cargo waa discharged. T1m flat
cars and machinery were confiscated, but
the opinion seems to prevail that the
flour which was consigned to private
flrraa In Japan wilt be paid for by the
St. Peteraburg government
The Information concerning the Arabia
waa telegraphed from Washington to T.
M. Stevens Co., who own a portion of
the flour cargo, which Is being held at the
Siberian port. At about the same time
the local officials of the Portland A
Asiatic Steamship company received a
cablegram from Captain Bchuldt, com
mander of the vessel, stating that he had
finally been ..released and that he would
proceed direct to Shanghai. The brief
message from Washington merely stated
the facts tn the case and explained how
the shippers should proceed In order
to be compensated by the cxara repre
sentatives for the loss of their flour and
the inconvenience to which they have
been subjected by the seizure and de
tention of the vessel.
So far the local officials of the P.
A. Co. can only conjecture aa to what
will be the future movements of the now
famous steamer, which has been given
space In every newspaper of any note
In the world. But they are of the opin
ion that from Shanghai she will proceed
to Yokohama and receive a cargo of
general merchandise for Portland. If
this plan la carried opt the Arabia
will arrive her about September 20, a
few days later than the Algoa, which
has been engaged to come from San
Francisco and load for China and Japan.
At the time the arrangement was made
to send the latter to this port It waa
planned to have her take the place of
the Arabia, as It then was uncertain as
tr when she would be released. Unless
changes are made In the program it
II now evident that both steamers will
be here at about the same time..
A ahort time ago there was a shortage
of vessels, but the shippers state that
from the appearance of things the supply
will aoon be greater than the demand.
On account of the new Import duty
on flour Imposed by the Japanese gov
ernment going Into effect October 1, they
declare that the shipments of that pro
duct from Portland rverrt month are
likely to be unusually light. They be
lieve that It will be Impossible to load
one vessel to her full capacity, not to
say anything about two.

FLOWING BOWL NO
MORE FOR REDMAN
"It's all offsky with me and the
boose," wrote H. C. Redman to a friend
back east Redman la a traveling man
who makes his headquarters at the
Portland hotel. He had an encounter
with John Barleycorn In the bar of that
hotel this weak ttfat has done mors In
the way of reformation than all the
tracts that were ever published.
"Yes. I'm through; the flowing bowl
has been broken so far as I'm concerned.
Wednesday of this week I was Induced
by an agent to buy one of these aafety
raxora. I put It in my pocket and started
to my hotel. On my way there I met
some fellows and we had a drink. Then
we had another and they came In such
rapid succession that by the time I
reached the Portland I had a "peach on.'
I went down to the bar snd ordered an
other. "I don't remember what happened
after that till I woke up the next day
and besides that dark brown taste and
that awful headache I found that I was
ahy half my mustache. It was shaved
off clean on one side my face and the
other side was untouched. Of course I
had to have the rest cut off and when
I come home I'll have aome slight dif
ficulty in explaining It to my wife.
"1 went down to the bar room that
morning to get a seltser and the bar
keep asked where my mustache was.
Then he told me what I had done. When
I went In there pretty much to the bad
the night before I ordered a glaaa of
beer with plenty of foam on It. I took
the foam and lathered one aide of my
face, and pulling out that rasor began
to shave. Bellhops and rounders gath
ered by and I shaved on. The foam, the
bartender told me, was good lather and
I shaved half my mustache off and left
the other because I thought It was
funny.
"So I've decided to cut it out. There
Is no more fermented hilarity for Mr.
Redman."
WEDS AFTER A 15
COURTSHIP
After withstanding a steady courtship
of 16 years. Miss Rosa Wickers trom of
Denver, Colo., a niece of Senator Tabor,
came to Portland this week to marry
W. C. Cutler of Baker City. Mr. Cutler
had been waiting here two weeks for the
arrival of the lady. He had favored tin
Intimate friend with a "tip" concerning
his expected happiness, and partial ar
rangements were made for the wedding
to occur at the home of this friend. But
.n th hrlde-tr iie arrived Mr. Cut
ler's courage proved unequal to a meet
ing with the few Invited guests, and the
couple boarded an electric ear Tuesday
afternoon and went to Vancouver, where
they were married. They are spending
a week's honeymoon in Portland, and
will then go to their future home, either
at Everett or Seattle, Wash.
Mr. Cutler's romance began many
years ago in Denver, where he was a
resident. He came to Oregon to seek
his fortune, and went Into the sheep
business near Baker City, where he pros
pered, and later went to Washington.
But he kept up a correspondence with
the woman of his choice and never
abandoned hope that one day he would
win her. The result has Justified his
perseverance.

pal church, the Chinese of the city will

About It.
"It Is better to be born lucky than
rich." remarked the man with the quo
tation habit.
'Don't you believe It," rejoined th
contrary person. "If a man Is horn
rich he doesn't hav to worry about
luck."
City Engineer Elliott Is having trou
ble with the various sidewalk contrac
tors throughout the ctty. Several com
plaints have been received recently that
their work Is not being done according
to the contract.
One of the gravest complaints Is from
Portland heights, where a large amount
of sidewalk work la being done thts sum
mer. J. Rankin, deputy sidewalk In
spector, says he has discovered tn hla
inspection work on the heights where
walks are being laid, a much lower grade
of cement than called for tn the con
tract and the workmanship is also said
to be very poor.
The city engineer is going to make
a. complete Inspection of the matter. If
It la found that the contractors are not
complying with their contract and the
ordinances they will be forced to do
their work over.
According to the city engineer. It Is
the custom of many of th sidewalk
contractors to go among th property
owners as soon as an ordinance is passed
for building a sidewalk and tell them
that they must build new walks and
attempt to get the contract.
"They make the people believe," said
Mr. Elliott, "that they must have th
work don Immediately. Some of th
contractors hav even gone so far as to
tear up the sidewalk telling the property
owners that It has been dons by the or
der of the engineer's office.
"No work is ordered to be done by me
untll'after notice is posted 10 days that
such work Is to be done and the audi
tor has notified the property owners of
such proposed Improvement.
"These contractors are taking grave
risks and are liable to a heavy fine. I
Intend to put a stop to such actions and
If they persist I will hav them arrested."
