' The Harry Morse left Portland April ' 12. this year.

Thouaands of Uvea have been aaved. and the fame of Portland as an enlightened and progreaalve city la established throughout the tengtn ana breadth of the land. ' " "In San Franclaco the death rata Is high compared with that of thla city. Bulletin No. 20 of tha department of commerce and labor gives the death rate In 1902 at 11.06. and in 103 at 21.01 per 1.009. , In 10 the census gives the death rate at 20.71 per 1.000. It Is a fair argument to say that San Franclaco would have had aa low a death rate as the eity of Portland If It had an equally good water aupply. San Francisco has good drainage and a splendid situation at the Oolden Gate- of the facinc. . its natural advantagea are even greater thin those of Portland, but It has a poor water aupply and a high death' rate. It has, . however, the opportunity of ob taining from the Sierras Just as good water aa tha city of Portland la bleaaed with. -' Tha pare- wbtte - snow of - the Sierras, If utilised, would give to San Francisco the -best water ' supply on earth. The distance, 140 miles. Is great, but other clttea have brought water farther. At all events, if water can be aafely brought' 40 miles.' It can cer tainly be brought 140 miles. - The added distance Is a mere matter of detail.

But her efforts will fall of proper fruition Unless tney Include a. better- water sup ply;. The people are aroused to the ne cessity of obtaining a better . water aupply. and if the questions of graft and - maladministration ' were ' settled there would be now no doubt of the Im mediate adoption by the people of the best water system that' Is open to se lection. ' -- ' ; 'There can be no question that fure mountain water wonld do as much for San. Francisco as It has done for Port land. . There the annual death rate Is In the neighborhood of 20 to the thou sand. Our population before the Ore was in tha neighborhood of 460,000. If pure mountain water will reduce the annual death rata of Portland to 14 for every thousand Inhabitants, It will certainly -do the same for. 8as-Fan-clsco. - A difference between a ' death, rate of 20 to the thousand 'and 10 to, the thousand meana an annual - saving Of 4,500 lives In population, of 460.000. hof eace.

Hill took the aide of the farmers today when he testified in tha grain trade hearing before the interstate commerce com mission. He declared that grave' evils existed in the grain trade agalnat the farmers and that -public elevatora should not handle tha grain and that federal inspection alone oould relieve present conditions. He said that the laws regulating . .grain inspection and handling were good, but were not en forced. . . Mr. Hill aUted that the auoeess of his road depended upon the success of the fanners. Ha denied that he or any member of hla faintly owned any stock in any elevator.- He admitted that he had nearly matured a plan for the Oreat Northern tp acquire tha elevator systems along the route, but added: . "I discovered that the courts would' not allow It. The elevatore should give the farmers receipts that will be like drafts. Thus the farmer could prao- tlcallT- shtp thwhie ef his - wheat crop . for- a I-cent stamp." P. ' B. Smith, president of the Min neapolis chamber of commerce, ad mitted the truth of the assertion that the grain men fixed the prloe of wheat each day and telegraphed the elevators what to pay the farmers for wheat. He said that the grain men allowed them selves S eenta a buahel for handling wheat, when. they thue fixed the price. Twenty, business men are here . to testify on the charge that certain rail road men own stock In grain companies to the . detriment of competition. , DISMANTLED SCHOONER SEEN OFF GRAYS HARBOR . , Iftperktt Dlspetrk te The Journal.) Seattle, Wash., Nov. 11. The stesmer Spokane, which passed Cape Flattery this morning, inward bound, reported having sighted a four-masted schooner, name unknown, dismasted and with her crew on board Off Grays Harbor. The Spokane was unable to render any as sistance.

Watch man. Austin says that about t o'clock In the morning, during Intense darkness, he saw the flashes from the ocean.. The revenue cutter Thetis Is supposed to be near tha coast somewhere searching for the missing British, bark Ivema, and It Is poslble that she will run across ths derelict schooner and render assistance. Tugs wlll probably also be sent out from Grays Harbor..?, So- many schooners have bean sighted off tha coast during, to past iawdajra 1 that. It is difficult te guess with any degree of certainty as to tha Identity of tha disabled craft. - A number of four masters are due at the Columbia river, but poaibly the one sighted by the Spo kane Is one of the fleet bound for Puget sound.
