Portland Unlori Stockyards. March
17. The tleup of the railroads Is still
coroplata tha other aide Of The Dallea
and only 16 bead of cattle arrived In
during tba ti houra. These were loaded
near Tha Dallea Not a single head of
ahtep or hog arrived In the yards dur
ing the 10 houra
Tha aharo spurt In the price of hogs
yesterday waa lost In the shuffle today
notwithstanding tha absence df arrlvala
during that period. It la atated that the
Union Meat company or Swift c Co.
la now bringing In hoga from Nebraaka
points which era being laid down at
the elauplitarlng yarda at Troutdale at
$6.26. This Is aald to be the reaaon
why packera are unwilling to pay mora
for local hoga today.
While the price of hoga la higher In

ber on First Voyage Built on
Grays Harbor but Equipped With
Machinery by Local Concern.
Although stormy weather with heavy
ralna have occurred In thta district and
the valley during the past several daya,
vessel from pointa down tha coast re
port moat beautiful weather at sea
Bright aunshlne, balmy breesea and a
smooth rolling aea favored the steamers
George W. Elder and Benator all the
way up the coast from San Francisco
and the passengers hsd a moat pleasant
trip.
The Senator and Elder reached their
respective for Hand wharvea at an aarlv
hour this morning, strictly on schedule
time. The Elder brought 88 passengers
and the Senator about 90. Among
those on the Elder were Paul R. Kelty
and wife of Los Angeles. Captain
Nopander of the Senator aaya the paa
sengers played quolta on the hurricane
deck nearly all the way up the coast
Three sailing vessels bound for Eureka
were sighted bv the Senator but their
names could not be distinguished.
Nothing waa seen of the steamer Sue
H. Elmore from Tillamook, ao It la sup
posed that she had not yet left that
port when the Senator and Elder ap
proached the mouth of the Columbia
She was due to arrive here Sunday, but
has so far failed to make her appear
ance. The new ateam schooner Capastrano,
Captain F. L. Harriman. left down at
noon today on her maiden trio bound
for Nan Francisco. She had a full crew
of union engineers, according to .Cap
tain Harrlman. aome sort of an arrange
ment having been arrived at to govern
while the engineers' strike is on.
The Capaatrano carriea 700,000 feet
of lumber furnlahed by the mllla of the
Portland Lumber company. Bhe was
built on Grays Harbor for Beadle Bros,
but was sold to Homer Fritch when on
tho ways and the Willamette Iron &
Steel works of this city built and in
stalled the machinery.
HAVE TO GUARD SHIP.
Captains of Cannery Tenders Find
Tlmea Dull at Urlatol Bay.
Bristol bay Is no place for a summer
outing for sea captains, declares Cap
tain Davidson of the American ship
Henry Vlllard. He haa spent about 10
seasons in the north waiting for salmon
cargoes and says he remained there only
because duty called him.
The Henry Villard is tied up near the
drydock but will soon begin receiving
coal and stores for the canneries of the
Alaska Packers company of Astoria on
Bristol bay and Captain Davidson will
take her north this time, her regular
master. Captain Andersop, having gone
to Europe on a leave of absence.
"It might be all right on Bristol bay
for the fishermen and those who work
in the canneries," said Captain David
son, "but as for the master of the ves
sel that takes them there, he has a sort
of a prison life from the time ne leaves
In the spring until he returns In the
fall. As soon as you get into the river,
everybody goes to work sshore and
there Is the captain all alone to watch
his vessel. The current in the river,
where the fishing is done and where the
vessel Is finally anchored, runa about
six knots an hour and It la no easy mat
ter to row ashore or return tn the ship
alone. Juat as likely as not the current
will carry you away towards the sea.
It has often happened.
"There are any number of salmon in
the river, but since they won't take to
bait, what's the use. A fellow Is even
deprived of the sport of good fishing."
Both going north and returning ves
sels In the cannery trade are manned by
fishermen who sign for so much for tha
runs up and down and so much per
pound for whatever fish they get.
The Chinese and Japanese who go
along to work In the canneries travel as
passengers. The Henry Villard will
have about 200 on board this trip.
KEEPS BOATS ON BOARD.
Captain Gilbert Gives Crew No Op
portunity to Desert essci,
In going to and from his vessel at
anchor in the harbor. Captain Gilbert ot
the British ship Crown of India, never
uses the ship's boat. He Instead halls
one of the harbor launches. He ex
plains as follows:
"If I should let one of the ship s boats
in the water, 1 would soon return to
find no one to row it for me. .Sailors
are a peculiar lot who want to desert
whenever the opportunity affords and
ao I suppose that tho first thing my men
would do had I the boat over the aido,
would be to pull ashore with their few
belongings. They are good sailora and
I prefer hiring a launch than to lose
Tho Crown of India came here several
days ago with a cargo of cement from
Europe, but has not yet begun to dis
charge. She is disengaged for outward
business.
SLIP GOES TO WRECK.
Stark Street Incline Offers Scene
Disgraceul to City.
The rising river is playing havoc rlth
the old, dilapidated and. disgraceful glp
at the foot oi Stark street, and It la al
most impossible to reach the float from
the street incline.
Nothing has been done to keep thia
slip in order for months, and it has
been going to wreck with every change
of the stage of water. Last week when
the water was low the float occupied
an almost perpendicular position, and
now it l floating, too far from tha
street Incline to be reached except over
a plank placed there by some publlo
snlrlted boatmen.
By giving the slip a little attention
when (he river rises or falls mora than
ordinarily caused by the tides, tha evil
could easily be remedied.
FLOOD COMES TOO SOON.

For tinea days Captain Amoe of the
launch Kva worked faithfully to get his
boat out of the river for repalra and
then, when it had been blocked , and
placed In Just the proper position, came
the flood and floated her off again.

What's now worrying Captain Awos
la whether or not he ahoul'l leave tha

TOTAL TAX ROLL
NEARLY ALL PAID
Although the time for securing a 8
per cent discount on taxes expired yea
terday, many payments of tax were
made today, practically all on the one
half payment basis. Half may be paid
from this time until April 6, when the
penalties will begin to attach. Ten per
cent of the penalty will be added on all
delinquencies on that date, and. one per
cent per month thereafter.
Probably not more than 3300,000 or
6400,000 out of a total roll of 33,226.000
now remains unpaid. There was such a
flood of checks In the last few days that
It has been impossible to keep count, but
the total for Saturday and Monday to
gether, will not be far from $1,000,000.
