It ia believed that before the other steamers get ready to depart f of i the far east it will be possible tn get enough freight from New Tork and other eastern points to fill them. Stores, tickets and manifest papers for the Mongolia and the China are being purchaaed at Portland and will be sent to San Franclaeo aa quickly as possible. A. big shipment of groceries for them was sent out last night by rail. - Local printers are at work on the stationery and it will be turned out in a day or two. ' Until everything gets oo a work ing basis in the California towns other similar shipments will be made from Portland. , Contrary to the general "belief nearly all of the freight sent to the orient from California Is made up of .eastern -products. At this eeaaon of tha year cotton, tobaooo, machinery and other t manu factured article comprise the greater part, of It. These goods can be brought in Just aa 'eaally by the. railroads now as previous to the disaster. , r 1 ' , Borne snlpments originated ,tn Pacific coast territory. For the next few months it Is possible that . thla portion of the business will be taken care of by the ateamers operating from Portland. Consequently it la probable that the liners plying from the Willamette river will go out loaded to their full capacity until San Francisco haa been partially rebuilt. During the spring and early part of the summer they have usually gone out rather light. ' '' ' " mii a CHARGED WITH ASSAULT: WITH DEADLY WEAPON ' (Special Dtapateb to The Jearnel.)' Walla Walla.
