Matter Will Be Considered.
TherV are many Important matters
that wllKba brought before the atten
tion of the grange. One i subject that
will receive especial attenton will be
the improvement of the parcel post sys
tem. Efforts will be made to secure
government assistance in improving thla
so that it will be of greater benefit to
farmers.
Under existing conditions there is a
postage rate of 11 cents for merchandise
parcels of four pounds weight. Farmers
claim to be unable to secure by mall
what they desire If th weight limit 1
confined to four pound. They desire
that the limit be Increased to 11 pounds
and a reasonable rat for that weight
be Imposed.
Another proposition that will be taken
up will be the improvement of public
wagon roads throughout the country. It
1 th object of th delegate to create
public sympathy in favor of such. Im
provement and by means of legislative
committee to secure assistance from
th federal government In that direc
tion. Congress will likely be petitioned
during the convention to aaalst in the
project of improving public mads
Perhaps the ,most important, and cer
tainly the moat novel proposition to be
considered 1 the establishment by th
government of postal savings banks.
The system haa been discussed for years
by the grans and la said to have bean
successfully adopted by .several Euro
pean governments. J
It la proponed to convl.. th govern
ment Of the wisdom of establishing sav
ings banks In postofflces throughout the
country. Several offloea In th same
county could he selected. It will be
argued, to accept deposits from farmers
and others In sums not lea than 11.
Th government will be expected to pay
a small amount of Interest on deposits.
"The system hag been- successfully
operated In other countries," said Mr.
Hlllesj-y, pt master granger of Ore
gon, "and could be operated successfully
la thla country. It la etatmed by the
grange that the government la fre
quently compelled to borrow money and
under the postal savings bank system the
government could borrow from the peo
ple instead of being compelled to go
abroad for th accommodations or ac
cept It from the powerful financial com
binations." Another matter that will be considered
and discussed during the session will be
th construction of a canal connecting
th great lakes with the Mississippi
river. There are many other subjects
of national importance that will be dis
cussed by the National grange.
"Th fundamental purpose of our
order la the Improvement of the condi
tion of the farmer," said Aaresi Jones,
master granger. "That, of course, I our

JAPANESE WILL
HAVE TO SMOKE UP
Largest Tobacco Shipment Ever
Sent from the Coast Goes
Out Next Month.
TWO SHIPS REQUIRED
TO CARRY THE SOLACE
The Large Import Tax Will Aid
Japan to Prosecute
the War..
O Of the big-goat shipments of .to
bacco aver sent to the orient from a Pa
cific coast port will go out of Portland
next month on th freighters operated
by the Portland Asiatic Steamship
company.
The shipment will constat of 800
hogsheads of leaf tobacco, the total
weight of which la 1.100 tons. It will
require SO freight car to bring it from
Virginia, where the weed la ggown. All
of It will go to Japanese porta.
The tobacco la now in transit from the
east, but will not arrive In time to go
out on the Nleomedla, the liner now in
port. The shipment will b divided anil
aent out on the steamers Ell eric' and
Nu mantle, the next vessels to arrive
from the far east. The Klleric la ex
pected her about November 11, and the
Numantla a few daya later. In addition
to the tobacco they will carry flour and
other freight. Including a big lot of
structural steel, which will also be con
signed to Japan. All the apace on both
steamers haa been engaged
Placing It at It centa a pound, the
market price of the raw material, the
1.00 tons of tobacco 1 worth 11(0,000.
A It is vary bulky, It la thought to be
doubtful .whether It could all be placed
on the largest of the liner operating
from the Pacific coast. As there la a
heavy Import duty on tobacco collected
by th Japanese government, it will be
th means of th latter realising a
handsome sum when the weed la de
livered A new tariff bill will be Introduced In
the Japanese parliament or diet ion Nov
ember 21, .providing for the collection
of tax on almost every manufactured
article aent there from foreign coun
tries. There Is now a heavy tax on to
bacco, but It will be materially In
creased If the proposed bill passes. Aa
It la looked upon aa one of the necessi
ties, it 1 stated by the local exporters
that there ia no danger of the shipments
In thla line being curtailed to any great
extent The local shippers are also of
the opinion that the proponed new tariff
will have no perceptible effect upon the
amount of floor that ia aent to Japan
every month. Th assertion ia made
that the consumers over there will have
to have the commodity, and they will
purchase Just aa liberally aa they have
In the paat from- Pacific coast dealers.
The same view 1 taken regarding the
shipment of all other food product
which have been exported- In th paat
from th Columbia river country.
But th exporters declare that the
Japanese are likely to Introduce a , re
trenchment or economical policy when
tt comes to purchasing many of the
manufactured articles whleb are pro
duced In the eastern states Just as soon
aa the new Import -Tariff go Into ef
fect. In other word th declaration la
made that they wilt not bay anything
unless It la an absolute necessity.
On the other hand, however, the local1
officials of the Portland A Aslastlc
Steamship company 'are of the opinion
that the new Import duty will have lit
tle or no effect upon the amount of
shipments made to Japan from th Pa
cific coast. They explain thla by stat
ing that the tariff will mean that the
consumers will have to pay only allghtly
higher prices, for the Imported goods,
and they wttl not hesitate about doing
so Consequently the now order of
things will have little. If any effect. o
they declare, upon th export business

PORTLAND ESCAPES
SERIOUS DAMAGE
Maximum Velocity of Wind in
Last Night's Storm Was Only
Thirty Miles an Hour.
FEARS ENTERTAINED THAT
JETTY MAY HAVE SUFFERED
A Sixty-Mile Gale Raging on the
Sound and Many Ships Re
ported in Danger.
During the heavy storm which visited
Portland last night th wind attained a
velocity of 30 mllea an hour-, which waa
sufficient to blow down signs and awn
ings, but no serious damage to person
or. property has been reported.
Th highest velocity on record -in the
local weather office ia 65 miles an hour,
which was on March 25, lst7. Had the
weather bureau been in-atbe Oregonlan
building, where th Instrument was
placed at a higher point, the register
would have been at least 17 mile an
hour, the same velocity which created
auch havoc in thla city and up and
down the Puget sound country in Janu
ary, 1880. Yesterday's storm, by com
parison, waa a mere aephyr.
The probabilities are that at the
mouth of the river the wind was speed
ier. The wire connecting the Portland
office with North head Is down. Th
breakage waa supposedly caused by
falling trees in the forest through which
the wire pssses. Th last report re
ceived from the North Head station waa
that the wind had not struck with any
force, but Forecaster Heals anticipate
that the weather will be livelier In that
neighborhood today.
Last night's storm waa anticipated In
yesterday's weather report, and conse
quently warnings of sea galea were post
ed at all stations. This gave command
ers of vessels plenty of opportunity to
be prepared for the storm.
The precipitation In the paat 24 hours
was .41 of an Inch The heaviest shower
occurred at 11 o'clock last night, lust
aa the theatres were over, and th great
est damage of all, perhaps, waa the
drenching of the personal apparel of
those who attended the playhouses,
rear for the Jetty.
Pears are entertained that the storm
may have caused further damage to the
government jetty at the mouth of the
Columbia, but all communication with
Port Stevens haa been cut off and ho
Information baa yet been received by
Major Langfltt, who ha charge of the

Stampede Is Caused by
Big Fire in the Stock

COWBOYS HAVE ROUNDUP

Many Hegs Are Slowly
- Roasted to .
Death.
I Jour n. I Special Service.
Now York, Nov. 16: Fire In the
United State stockyards at th foot of
Sixth street In Jersey City esrly today
burned to death 1,600 hogs, roasted 3
100 carcasses In cold storage, caused
11.000 head of cattle, sheep and hogs to
stampede and destroyed much valuable
property.
Not In the history of New Tork, old
aa it la, haa auch a spectacular and ex
citing chase been participated In aa that
which followed the breaking out and
subsequent rounding up of th 'cattle aa
they charged wildly through the atreets,
followed by cowboys from the yards,
who swung their rtatas and gave vent to
the enthusiasm of western training
which moat of them have undergone.
Th fir Itself was spectacular. It
started In the cold storage room pre
sumably from th explosion of a tank
of ammonia. At that point there are
hut few men employed and the flames
war sweeping through th grease
laden floors with llghtnloa-llks rapidity
and terrific heat before an alarm was
turned in.
Directly beneath the floor of the cold
storage fonm the hogs were confined,
and before long the aqaeallng of the
lowly tortured animals added to the
din of the engine and the ahoutlng of
men trying to prevent a stampede of
the cattle In the enclosure. As th
floor fell through, dropping coal upon
the hog beneath, efforts war mad
to get th anlmsls out, but were unavail
ing, the heat being so terrific that the
drovers could not approach the aub
gatee. The flams bunt through th walls
of the storage room almost aa the alarm
Bounded and belched forth a cloud of
denae. sickening and grease-laden
smoke Instantly the cattle in the
wooden enclosures, which up to thla
time had been "milling" and bellowing,
broke Into a wild stampede, and the
fences and barriers were swept down
as though built of straw, and out Into
th streets of the city swept th fren
led herds.
On every hand pedestrians plunged
madly for entrance waya, cars stopped
snd drivers laghcd tbelr horse into
bystreets until the rush of cattle had
paased. In th yards are employed 100
men. nearly all of whom have served
years on western plains sa "cow
punchers." They sprang on hnraea and
clattered In pursuit of their herds, the
roundups having all th excitement and
much more 'danger than those to which
their training accustomed them.
Some of the cattle made their way
well Into the downtown districts before
they were either roped or rounded In
with others snd driven bdek to the
yards. Several pedestrians were knocked
down, but none are reported aa seri
ously Injured.
The fire loss Is estimated at approxi
mately 1160.000.

Well and Case Goes

Henry K. McGinn waa not permute
to hurl hla oratorical thunderbolta
against gambling In general and roulette
in particular in the circuit court thla
morning. , '
The well-known criminal lawyer had
been engaged by the state to aid Dis
trict Attorney John Manning prosecuta
Peter Grant, who waa under trial on
th charg of permitting gambling to
be conducted In property under his con
trol. It was alleged by th atat
that on July 11. 1904, roulette waa
played at the Portland club, and that
Peter Grant waa on of th owners of
th club.
After about an hour and a quarter
bad been apent in Judge Cleland's court
In examining witnesses, or waiting for
them to arrive to be examined, this
morning District Attorney Mantling
arose to address th Jury.
Ha told them that aa cltlaens they
could not do otherwise than And Peter
Grant guilty. Mr. Manning said:
"There la no possible doubt that th
game waa pissed on th day stated.
Now, If you. don't think It 1 your duty
to back up Tom Word In thla matter,
why did you elect him sheriff? Or why
have we a sheriff? It Is to enforce th
law. If you do not like this law take the
matter up with the legislature. At th
present time the law la on the books.

aa attorneys for Peter Grant. ,
Henry B. McGinn looked surprised. Ia
fact, he w'aa dumfounded
He had mad elaborate preparations
to addreaa the jury, and those who know,
th attorney expected that he would outdo
himself In "stinging" th gamblers he so
bitterly opposed. But th action of Mr.
Mendenhall virtually gagged him. Those
on th opposite side evidently enjoyed
Mr. McGinn' chagrin and It was evi
dent to spectators that it waa a coup
