Wheat to Europe.
Transport Baford Might Leave Army
Stores Behind.
When the army transport Buford
leaves San Francisco February 6 for
Manila she will have to leave a large
amount of army stores for the Philip
pines behind on the dock. Already ojl
"of the available space on the transport
has been marked off for the troops of
the Twenty-third Infantry and the large
number of casuals who will go by the
vessel to Manila and the space for
freight is also all bespoken. It is prob
able that a big consignment of army
stores, which should be dispatched at
the time scheduled for the Buford's
sailing, will have to be sent by a mer
chant vessel.
The German bark Nal arrived up yes
terday and anchored in the stream near
St Johns, and the British tramp steam
er Egbert arrived up during the night
and went Ho the mills of the St Johns
Lumber company.
The Nal is In ballast from Iqulque,
and the Saint Egbert came light from
Guaymas. The former will load for
Europe under charter to Balfour, Guth
rie & Co., and the same firm will dis
patch the steamer with 3,000,000 feet
of lumber for the Philippines.
Among the steamers due to arrive
here soon is the Tungus, flying the
Norwegian flag, and under charter to
carry lumber to the orient. She should
reach Portland Monday or Tuesday next
week, a report having been received
here yesterday of her leaving Santa
Rosalia Friday night The Tungus
comes to carry lumber to Panama.
PLANK SLIDES INTO RIVER.
Captain Jacobsen lias Narrow Es
cape From Accident.
In landing at Couch street dock last
nrght the steamer Alliance, from Coos
Bay. had to wedge her way between tha
structure and the gasoline schooner and
Berwick. In dolns so the Improvised
gangplank leading from the dork Into
the rigging of the schooner slid from
its supports and plunged Into the river.
Captain Jacobsen, who gave up com
mand of the Berwick yesterday, had
Just stepped off the plank to the deck
and came within a hair's breadth of
being crushed by its fall. He did not
notice the plank slide and would have
been injured had not the lookout on the
Alliance and people on the dock yelled
for him to look out. Captain Jacobsen
had been removing his personal effects
from the Berwick s cabin, which will
henceforth be occupied by Captain
Bowdwlch, formerly master of the
steam schooner Aurella. He will go to
Coos Bay on the Alliance when she sails
Monday night to look after some real
estate there, and then proceed to San
Francisco for a visit with his family.
Captain Jacobsen has had command of
the Berwick for two years and In that
time has not had a chance to meet hla
family once.

"If W. C. Noon had intended that
there should be only one trustee," said
Judge O'Day in the course of his re
marks, In substance, "I do not under
stand why he would appoint three. He
did name one who was his business as
sociate and another who was his own
son. The court cannot assume to know
more about the intentions of the tes
tator than did W. C. Noon himself, and
he appointed three trustees. 1
"It has been held that the court has
no power to appoint trustees, and if this
were true the court would have nothing
to do with the case at all. 1 would be
glad to avoid this duty and would be
satisfied to say that, my hands were

Mr. Armstrong. Apparently the busi
ness was run honestly and well, and
there is apparently no disposition on
the part of the heirs to dispossess Mr.
Armstrong In the management. But the
court disagrees with the view of Mr.
Armstrong, as he pressed It on the
stand, to tne effect tiat he alone should ;
act as a trustee. If Mr. Noon meant
that, it is most unfortunate that he did
not nay so in the will He used lan
guage that is exactly opposite, as plain '
as language can be.
Patch Up Quarrel.
"Rut it seems to me that this quar
rel should not be irreconcilable, but that
the parlies should agree as to who
should be trustees. I am not a strong
bellover In absent treatment. Here is
a business, and these bickerings ought
to stop stop chasing shadows and take
tho substance. It would certainly be
a mortifying thing if the decision of
thin court to appoint trustees should
wreck the business. The parties should
fet together, and there should not be
no much standing on technical legal .
right. They may be good for the law
yera, but In this case you ought to be
ubli to harmonize these matters."
Judge ODay added that he has not .
decided as to the status of the other
helrn, a;iile from Mrs. Noon. In the
trust estate, as to whether they hold ,
absolutely or have only a life estate.
He also enmmented on the salary paid
to Armstrong, which has been advanced
from $17i to J350 per month. He said
he did not think this salary excessive
for one who has the brains success
fu .y to manage a large concern. Neat

Mrs. Boon. -.-Armstrong
was on the stand for some '
time yesterday to Justify his course In
the management of the affairs of the
W. C. Noon Bag company. His evidence .
in many respects was contradictory to
that given by the widow, Mrs. Emily
J. Noon. . .
Armstrong declared tnai Mrs. noon
at one time told him that she was de
termined to be one or tne airectors .ot
the bag company, even if It ruined the .
credit of the company. Mrs. Noon
denied this, but said Armstrong tola (
her that if other trustees were chosen
to act with him he would resign and
sell his Interests In the bsg company.
Mrs. Noon said she replied, "very
elL" . .
Mrs. Noon repeatedly disclaimed any
purpose to meddle in the affairs of the
bar comnanv but Said that SDe does
Insist on an accounting and on some
representation by the heirs on the
directing board. Armstrong objected
that If other trustees were chosen the
conditions would be the same as before

would not be the case, there being no
Intention on her part to Interfere with

Armstrong stated on the stand today
that the bag company Is ready to de
clare another dividend as soon as $45,
000 due from the W. C. Noon estate
has been paid. The estate has 1100,
000 worth of unincumbered property -which
will soon be sold, having been

The duke of Wellington wore a fin

when time pressed, ascertain the hour
without ortense to any. Aside from
Its beauty, that Is the finger watch's
advantage; you look at it, and do not
hurt the sensitive as you would do by
lugging a big turnip out of your vest
pocket. "Wrist or bracelet watches have that
advantage, too; but with us they are
somehow regarded as effeminate, though

as without his wrist watch."
