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.
Conditions" la Say Otty.
, -Ban Francisco is putting forth Ti
tanic -aborts to recover from the great
eat disaster that baa aver come to any
aity since the dawn of creation. 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

'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

was in tha neighborhood of 460,000. If
pure mountain water will reduce the

Minneapolis, Nov. 21. James J. 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. ,

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. '
Thla report probably solves the mys
tery surrounding the distress signals

Columbia river Jetty on the night of No

Engineer Oeirald C Bagnall concerning
conditions off the Jetty pn that night.

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
