HARBOR BIG FLEET SIGHTED f OFF COLUMBIA BAR Steamers Strathnairn and Terje Viken i Arrive in Harbor to Load Wheat and Lumber, Respectively French Bark Buffon Reaches Port That the harbor of Portland will bo 'crowded with vasaala during the next few month la evident from the way team and sailing craft rs f lilac Into the river. Yesterday two big tramp 'steamers, the Strathnairn and the Terje Viken. crossed in from. Ban Francisco. Dd In 'the afternoon the French bark Buffon and a four-masted schooner were towed In. In the morning the di minutive British bark Bankburn reached the bay after a rattling voyage from Hamburg. Last night the lookout at North Mesa i reported a three masted ship, a four- m Rated bark and a square-rigger out. ' aide waiting for a chance to get In These will probably get a hawser this morning and swell the fleet in the pay considerably The four-masted bark Is believed to be the Iverna, which has been off the river for aavsral days. She was spoken off the Golden Gate September II and given order to pro ceed to this port to load. Under ordi nary circumstances she should have ar j rived a couple of weeks ago, but she probably got caught In the heavy squalls off the coast a week ago, and la trying to avoid the sands stood out so far that It took her until lest night to work back. She Is believed to be the Vessel referred to aa ths "phantom" bark which appeared twice off the bar during the past two weeks. The Iverna comes in ballast from Acapuleo under charter to load wheat. She Is a big earriar, registering over 1. 000 tons net. ' The French bark Buffon, which got in last night, comes from Honolulu to load wheat for Burope. She left the Island port October I, and consequently must have doae some swift sailing. The Buffon la also In ballast A report late last night stated that WILL TRY LUCK ASHORE (Special Correspondence to Tht Joorntl i Grants Pass, Or., Oct. 17. A- C. Car-. son. horticultural commissioner tor southern Oregon, Is owner of the larg est grape vineyard in the state. Mr. Carson la now busy with a crew of pickers and packers gathering and pack ing the output of his vineyard for mar ket. The grapes are shipped princi pally to Portland, where the highest market price I received for them. From SI. 71 to tt per erate Is being paid for these grapes this year. The va rieties sre Tokay, Concord. Mission and Sweet Water. On account of the late cold rains of last spring the crop is a little short this season, but notwith standing this ths Carson vineyard will ahlp several hundred crated to distant points. Forty-five Acres. The Carson vineyard now contains 46 acres, but will be enlarged to double this acreage within the next few years. The vineyard Is located at Badlands, on Applegate river, nine miles from Grants Paas. Ths grapes are planted on a hill side, with a slope to get the full benefit of the sun, Mr. Carson first began Enjoying Southern Oregon Grapes. with "one acre and when the one acre was In full hearing. returns of S100 an nually was received from It This proved the possibilities of the buslnsss snd the vineyard was at once Increased. An unproductive orchard was removed and the ground plsnted to grapes. In quality and color the Carson grspsearc pronounced superior to the product of the California vineyards. Grape grow ers from the golden state who have had a taste of ths fruit from the Car son vineyard state that the southern Oregon product is better than their own. Mo Irrigation. Mr. Carson foes not irrigate his vine yard and the soli of his place is no bet ter adaptsd to grapes than thouaandf Of acrea available for this purpose In Joseph'ne county. His success will no doubt isad others to take up grape cul ture, as grape land can be had here for a tew dollars per acre, and sinoe water la not needed very little expense or labor Is required to put the ground In shape for the vines. Frequent cultivat ing through the summer and careful pruning, as well aa care In picking, are the main requisites. ths four-masted schooner was ths Bal boa, from San Francisco. She comes to lead lumber at one of the lower Co lumbia mills for s return cargo. The steamers Strathnairn and Terje Viken arrived in the harbor last night and dropped anchor In the stream until berths can be arranged for them. The Strathnairn Is under charter to Kerr, Glfford a Co. to load wheat for Burope and the Terje Viken comas to J. J. Moore a Co. to load lumber for China. She will receive most of hsr cargo at the mills of the North Pacific Lumber company. The Terje Viken flies the Norwegian flag, while the Strathnairn Is undsr ths British colors. Zs Crowded. There are now about 16. foreign Bail ing veasels and s tea mere sa the harbor proper receiving the attention of the stevedores. Some of them are dis charging general cargo brought oat from Burope and preparing for outward cargoes, others are loading wheat while two steamers, the Eve and Fulham, and one sailing vessel, the British ship Galgate. are loading lumber. It Is es timated that fully 00 longshoremen A LIFE INCOME FOR YOU I Have Made Millions of Dollars for Thousands of People by My Patents The natural Ino Still higher. of business stock should has lncrsaaed In valve mors than 100 per eeat Inquiries for motors has) forced the price my a life Income for yarn. September let. times; it will ass Bar Amm San soar bzdwbu latest 601 of the Trolley Oar System. My Patents Wilt Double the Capacity of Any Motor I never made an unsuccessful Invention. My first Invention was the electric fan. Just as It Is run all over this country rn hot weather I didn't gat a patent on it but see what a tremendous success It Is! I next Invented the Trolley Car System. Just as It la run today. I made It rirfect and successful right from the start. It has never been Improved since Invented It Look at the' millions of money It has made for the stockholders. The stock In the trolley manufacturing companlea sold below 16 cents a share In lit! and 1S94. Poor msn could buy that slock then. Thousands of than did buy It, and every one who held on to It Is a rich man today. No Man on Earth Ever Lost a Penny He Invested With Me If so. I will make It good. Next I Invented the Ballway Car Telephone System. It Is a system by which passengers or train crews can telephone from still or moving cars sny where the same as If seated In an office. It Is a more perfect system In operation than any othev telephone you ever aaw. This la on the roea toward millions for the stockholder This Is riy Greatest Invention Now I have Invented somethlnr bigger and greater than either of the above. It la called the Bldwell Cold Motor. It Is guaranteed not to burn out, and la exactly the kind of a motor the steam railroad people have been looking for. It will change all the steam railroad systems over to electric roads, because It will be cheaper to run than steam and can be run faater and more safely than any present method The one drawback ths railroads have had In changing over to electricity has been that no motor as at present rosde can be run 160 miles at (0 miles an hour without burning out It would melt the very wires. By ualng the Bldwell Cold Motor a train of cara could be run from New York to San Francisco without a stop at the rate of (0 or to miles an hour and not sven warm up and without a hitch. Beeldsa running faater, they would be more aafe and sure than steam, cost Isss to operate, and would last longer than any other motor now known. The Bldwell Cold Motor la the greatest Invention out since I Invented the trolley car. The Opportunity of a Lifetime I want to give every man and woman a chance to come in with me on t hi, for I expect to make millions for the stockholders out of this new patent The stock will be sold en the square. There will be no hocus pocus about preferred or common stock, nor any other scheme, trick or wrinkle by which anybody can be frozen out Every dollar Invested will represent on hundred eenta of the best stock. vary ahare will be exactly like every other share. The profit on every share will be the same aa the profit on every other share. In short, there will be nothing but a square deal all round. Thla stock la fully paid and non-asssa sable. I have a lifelong reputation for square dealing. I will personally see to tt that every stockholder gets a squars . deal oa this. These Are Cold Facts You Must Act Quickly If you want some of this stock at the present low price you must come In now. There le only a small amount to be sold st the present price. I firmly believe that within a short tlms ths stork will be selling at ft a share. Thts is your opportunity. It la case of come quick or not at all.
