Will Operate at Once.
Within the next few months ihe
.Business men of Portland and the upper
'river will have ullt and in operation
two or three first-class steamboats, op
erating In harmony with the steamer
J. N. Teal, already on this run. The
. four boat.. will run between Portland
and points as far Inland as Lewiston
and Priest Rapids, as fast as the river
, channels are made navigable by the re
moval of obstructions.
, The state portage road can and will
handle a vastly increased business, and
it Is believed that by harvest time this
fall the river lines will be in a position
to carry the larger part of the whfat
crop unless the railroad lines put in
rates that will De low enough to secure
a division of the business. '
Only In this way can the people of
the Columbia river basin convince the
government that the construction of the
Oelllo canal is a good commercial In
vestment for the public.
The showing made by Mr. Teal at
last evenlnga meeting was unique and
forceful in illustrating the whoe trans
portation problem of the northwest, and
it- convinced those present lh-t the
waterways system of the Columbia
basin' is -absolutely essential to the de
velopment of this section or the coun
try. .
Mr, Teal used a map showing the
country as it was originally found by
White men, with only the waterways
as transportation lines. Then he brought
out maps showing Oregon and Wash
ington, the former with the great rail
road developments that have come to
that state in recent years, and the lat
ter with the vast interior Oregon em
pire still in Its prehistoric condition,
without transportation lines. --
Central Orefoa Demands Sail.
Referring to interior Oregon, Mr. Teal
said It 1b today In the same Condition
as to transportation that It was found
by the first white men. In the face of
this neglect targe numbers of farmers
have Bone lnto-tlie interior of the state
and begun farming and developing the
country, and one of the largest bodies
of grant lands in the state is now be
ing opened in southern Oregon east or
tbe Cascade mountains. All that re
gion mvxrt'sooBf have railroads, and In
terior Oreaon must be developed, by
transportation.
Perhaps the most' Important point
made by the speakers Is that Portland
must be loyal to its independent river
steamer lines, and give them business
to keep them going at a profit and1 in
duce more steamboat operators to go
into business.
Since the railroads have in the past
succeeded In making lndependen-t steam
boat operation unprofitable on most of
the large rivers of the country, and re
ducing their usefulness' t a minimum,
it Is up to the business men and reoi ')
generally who produce and consume the
country's products, tw patronize the In
dependent river lines, for their opera
tion is the salvation of the country (is
to reasonableness of rail rates between
seaport andnland regions.
River Development Imperative.
The wonderful growth of Portland
was pointed out, and then it was asked
why such development should come to
this city, and how it could have been
dojie without the water transportation
lines, in view of the-fact that Oregon
Is practically without railroad lines ex
cepting those that follow the rtvers.
The questions put In these forms, fol
lowing the startling showing made by
the maps, made every hearer wUthln the
sound of the speaker's voice realise
what river transportation means to the
city of Portland.
There were other speakers, and vari
ous arguments along the lines of trans
portation needs, all applying In one way
or another to the absolute necessity of
maintaining and developing river steam
ers on the upper Columbia river and the
Snake river, as developers of railroad
transportation, and regulators of rail
rates. ,

Rfbt -rampant and revelry unre
strained and protracted held St. Johns
In anarchistic grasp last night, and
great confusion and joy prevailed. For
at midnight the doors of the saloons in
the bustling peninsular city closed for
ever or until the can rushing cohorts
again get the ascendency in precincts
89, 90 and 91.
Closing night was an occasion of
great Joy for most of the populace, but
not for the littlecoterle of saloonmen
who gased witn sauntss lor the last
time on crowded barrooms and heard
the merry clink of glasses and the com
fortable jingle of coins and the pleasant
crackle of green ajid yellow paper as
the good money of the realm passed
in farewell to the white-clad diamond
decorated dispenser of the rye.
Funeral of Saloons.
But aside from this little element of
adness all was one Iouk happy tin
tinnabulation. The church-going. Sabbath-keeping
element of the town wus
glad because the throngs on the streets
were celebrating the funeral of the sa
loons.. ,
All lovers of the malt and other spirit
uous thirst killers were glad, because
After 10:30 everything behind the bur
went on the free list. Br was as frt-
as water, and whiskey straight has be
come a byword.
All the tramps on the north bank
road from Pasoo down must "have heard
of the closing movement, for there .w.ns .
en- infl-ux' or ' fatigu d tVIUiams that
caused the police force of three to wish
ther were hydra like.
Everybody didn't get drunk. Oh, no:
but those who didn t were sorrv they
weren't. It's such fun to be irreeponsl- i
ble, especially In St. Johns, where If:
ou hit a policeman the people go your
all. And there were not a few who
had this forbidden pleasure as the po
lice force of St. Johns can testify.
Additions to Polio Force.
Chief Klack had to use a half a dozen
gallant V(jlunteers to keepithe city from
being razed by the joyous revelers. For
nobody paid any attention to the antl
flreworks ordinance. Everybody was
ready for the Fourth of July, anvway.
and they all practiced up last nlirht.
President F. L. Youni of th Penin
sula Law Enforcement Teas-ue savs the
league Is entirely satisfied with the re-
suns or tneir successful- campaign
against the saloons, and he says that St.
Johns will be one exception to the gen
Vral rule in that "blind pigs'' will not
be allowed to even grunt. He says that
If the saloonmen are consoling them
setves with the thought that they can
still continue under cover to dispense
th" intoxicants they were never more
mistaken. The league will have men
on the alert to head off the fifst at
tempt of this kind, and. lb law .will be
enforced to the extreme limit
Hearing rumors that some of the St
Johns saloons were opn -this morning
Sneriffstevens telephoned the saloon
men this morning to notify them that

the liquor men a that thev do not

San Francisco, July 1. Ten million
dollars was put into circulation today
when semi-annual dividends were paid
by commercial and savings banks and
industrial institutions of San Francisco:
The savlns-s banks of the city have an
nounced that they will pay dividends for
the hair year on a d.ikis 01 rour
cent oer annum and the averuae
dend of the other corporations wijl
amount to aoout tne same.
"Vnalle the money to be paid out In
dividends will not go in lare amounts
to any few Individuals or groups or in
dividuals, most of it will return to the
savings banks and be available for loans
on real estate.
The time for distribution of dividends
is irenerallv marked bv a decided bet
terment of financial conditions, and this
is so o a reater degree at the present
time than usual, owing to the tightness
of money prevailing since last ivovem
ber.
The shortage of money has caused
the banks to keep their loans within a
narrow margin, and every saving in
loans has been effected in order to meet
the dividend payment tomorrow. The
money which has been lying- idle W411
to into circulation immediately and will
result In . atvlne a strong: lmpettnr -trr

the benefit from the dividend ana will

as they receive their motiey.
j Depositors In savings banks win re
ceive about fhe same amount. Trust
companies and txiildlng and loan asso
ciations will pay about 2,000,000, and
Industrial corporations will, distribute

OSSESSED thejjifehett type of
literary genius. It i rriore than two
centuries since he ceased to write,
but when shall he cease to be read ?
He grasped all things. He saw into the
profoundest depths of human nature.
Thought illimitable were at the point
of his pen.
His personages live and move as if they
had just come from the hand of a creator.
He was not a man of one idea, but part
of the intense life of flesh and blood that
seethed around him. Exuberant vitality
of mind, body and soul was his supreme
characteristic.
Personally he was a handsome, well-,
shaped man, of a "merry temperament,
abounding in energy and overflowing with
health.
His favorite eating placttn London was
the celebrated Falcon tavern. Here men
like Ben Johnson, Marlowe, Ford, Fletcherf
Herrick, Raleigh, etc, met him daily.
These literary giants of the heroic Eliza
bethan age were in the habit of discussing
the burning topics of their time (which
included the colonization of America) ever
