French Bark Nantes Leaves

BOUNTY AT HOME
Vessel Leaves Port Near Where De
mand for Carriers Is Reported to
Be Increasing to Seek Fortune on
Coast Where Carriers Plentiful. ,
A message from Hobart Tasmania,
this morning stated that the French
bark Nantes had left that port for
Portland In ballast The feature of the
affair is that the vessel without a
charter sails away from near where
there is said to be a growing demand
Just now for wheat carriers to the Pa
cific coast, where half a dozen wind
jammers are now lying idle waiting for
something to turn up.
But with the assistance of the French
government bounty for mileage and
tonnage, the Nantes will earn a few
hundred dollars for her owners by sim
ply slgzagglng across the ocean, even if
she does not carry a pound of freight.
An illustration of this was furnished a
few years ago when the well known
French bark Burope sailed the seas for
a whole year in ballast, roaming about
at will, and at the same time netting
her owners $12,000 profit. Several oth
er vessels have tapped tha French gov
ernment's coffers to the same extent
by employment of the same methods.
The Nantes has been here several
times before, having carried wheat
from here to Europe. There is a possi
bility of her being picked up for grain
or lumber loading; oefore her arrival,
although the demand for bottoms Is
light and freights weak.
There are five French sailing vessels
in the river at present, two of thorn
loading wheat, one loading lumber, one
discharging coal at Astoria and one dis
charging cement at Mersey dock. Those
loading wheat are the Vllle du Havre
and Salnte Anne. The Marclieal de
Noailles Is discharging cement and gen
eral cargo at Mersey dock, and the Bos
iuet is discharging coal at Astoria. Half
of the 3.O00 tons she brought from New
castle. N. S. W., a few days ago will be
brought to Portland.
The French bark Gael is loading lum
ber at St. Johns for England. She has
been in the river several weeks, and It
Is understood has alreadv earned some
monev for her owners In the shape of
demurrage. '
DECEMBER WEATHER 'AT SEA
Hydrographic Department's Monthly
Report Covering North Parlfic.
Gales and heavy squalls will be quite
frequent along the coast during the
forthcoming month of December unless
the weather Is much different from the
average as recorded by the government
hydrographic office. In its report of
average conditions of wind and weather
over the North Pacific ocean during
December, the department savs:
'Throughout the entire stretch be
tween San Francisco bay nnd the tjtrnit
of Fuca the course of the winds will
be from southeast, with falling barom
eter through south to southwest and
west, with rising barometer. Immediate
ly under the coast the prevailing winds
will be southeast. Within the area 125
dagrees-130 degrees west. 40 degreeh
60 degrees north, the most frequent di
rection will be south, over 60 per cent
of all the winds being Included between
southeast and southwest. Beyond ISO
degrees west, as also to the southward
of 40 degree the winds will have
greater westing. Squally weather with
. rain and frequent gales may be expected
throughout the entire area, the latter
from south southeast to west.
"Continuing southward northwester'y
winds may be expected as far as
Arapulco, covering a belt extending 300
miles offshore. From 15 degrees to 10
degrees northeasterly winds will prevail;
likewise from 10 degrees to 5 degrees as
far west as the 105th meridian, bevond
which the prevailing direction will be
southeast. The average frequency of
calms between these parallels is 20 per
cent (20 hours in each hundred). The
present month Inaugurates the dry sea
son (Iecemler-Marcht on the coast of
Central America, the mnln feature of
which is the absence of thunderstorms.".
Fogs along the American coast are
less frequent during December than dur
ing October and November, and the
same might he slid of storms In
oriental waters.
HIGHER WATER WELCOME
Navigators Pleased With Deeper
Channels in Tributaries.
The rains of the rsst few days are
swelling the upper rivers so that it
will soon be possible to resume naviga
tion. For many weeks the stage of
water in the upper Willamette and in
the tributaries of the Columbia has
been so low as to prevent the opera
tion of even the low draft river craft.
The Oregon City Transportation com
pany has been .running its boats Ore
gona and Pomona only as far as Salem
since the water got so low, although
under ordinary circumstances Corvallls
is the upper terminus of the route.
The Joseph Kellogg Transportation
company, operating the steamer Joseph
Kellogg between Portland and Cowlita
river points, has had more or less
trouble keeping on schedule because of
low water, and the Clatskanle Trans
portation company has had similar
trouble with the steamer Beaver on the
Clatskanle river. The rains of the past
few days are expected to set everything
right again, however.
ABOUT READY TO SAIL
Oriental Liner Alesla Will Clear
With Valuable Cargo.
The oriental liner Alesla will probably
get away for Vladivostok tomorrow
morning. The cargo is being completed
this afternoon and possibly it will be
cleared through the custom house before
closing hours.
The Alesla's cargo will be worth fullv
$250,000 and will consist principally of
flour, most of which goes to Vladi
vostok. A small quantity of miscella
neous freight Is destined for ports in
China and Japan. The liner Arabia.
' which is now loading miscellaneous
freight at Alblna dock, will take the
Alesla's berth at the flour mill after
the latter has sailed.

DECEIVED
Pawnbroker "Taken in" by a Clever
. Young Bascal.
A clever young fellow asked one of
the leading pawnbrokers for a loan on
a diamond ring and after procuring a
small loan made a hasty departure. The
pawnbroker's suspicion was aroused and
he called in a friend, a diamond expert,
and askod him to pass on the ring.
After a very rigid examination and by
means of the acid test he found It to
be a stone known as the diamond sap
phire. These stones are procured at a
store called "The Diamond Palace" at
328 Washington st., between 6th and
7th, opposite tha Imperial hotel and have
grown so popular that It has become
quite a social rage with the women to
wear fingers and hair adorned with
diamond sapphires.

SOME LOSE BY
: EQUALIZERS' ACT
Several Applicants for As
sessment Reduction Are
Given an Increase.
The county board of equalization this
morning acted on a number of appli
cations for reduction of assessments. In
soma of which substantial cuts were
made. In about half the cases thai
board refused to lower the figures, and
In a few Instances Increases were made
after investigation had shown that the
figures were too low in comparison
with surrounding property or with firms
In similar lines of business.
The Hawthorne estate was disap
pointed in its effort to have an assess
ment of $546,590 reduced to $417,000,
but secured a cut of $45,000 on property
located In what is called Hawthorne
slough. BIdck A of this tract Was cut
from $85,000 to $50,000, and block B
from $75,000 to $65,000. As to all other
property belonging to the estate, the
assessor's figures will stand.
Various Finns Make Appeal.
Sealy, Mason & Co. was denied a re
duction from $22,000 to $16,000, the
board deciding that a reduotlon could
not be granted after inspecting the rec
ords in the county court, where an ap
praisment of the stock was made about
one month before the day of the assess
ment. The appraisement was made be
cause of the death of one of the mem
bers of the firm and showed that (the
stock was then worth $44,000.
' The Pacific Railway Advertising com
pany asserted that an assessment of
$22,000 for money, notes and accounts
was wrong, and asked to have the item
expunged. This was denied.
The Oregon Molina Plow company was
granted a reduction on merchandise
from $60,000 to $40,000 and on money,
notes and accounts from $40,000 to $30,
000. The Sherwin-Williams company
met with a denial In seeking a reduction
from $15,000 to $5,000. Swift Co. se
cured a reduction on merchandise from
$5,000 to $3,300, but the figures on
money, notes and accounts were raised
from $9,000 to $12,000.
Railway Application Granted.
An application by the Astoria & Co
lumbia River railway for apportion
ment of the assessment of Its rolltng
stock of $151,772 between the three
counties In which the company, has mil
eage was granted. The company has
about 12 miles of road in this county,
with a larger share in Columbia and
Clatsop.
Furniture in the Hotel I.enox was
reduced from Jl'J.OOO to $3,750, and
monev, nots and accounts from $1,000
to $250. Sherwood & Sherwood wanted
a reduction from $10 000 to $850, but
none' was granted. Money, notes and
accounts or tho Julius J. Kulin estate
were reduced from $15,000 to $2,400.
A readjustment of the figures of th(
wholesale plumbing and supply houses
was made. By the present assessment
the Cr.ine company will nay on $75,000
merchandise and $10u,ooiifor money and
accounts, the Gauld company will pay
on $60,000 for merchandise and the
same amount for money and accounts,
I and M. 1j. Kline will pay on $50,000
worth of merchandise, the lant figures
being a reduction from $67, 000,
C. G. Sandstone, wanted an assess
ment on live acres of land south of t ho
city reduced from $750. The board In
creased It to $K50. The Loan company
was denied a luduct ion from $2,050 to
$350. The State Security company gets
a reduction from $3,100 to $1,500. W.
F. Burrell's assessment on his home
property from $45,000 is cut to $.16,000.
The Western 1'nlon. although modestly
asking for a cut of a little over $1,000
on a $28,000 assessment, met with re
fusal. Judge Webster, County Clerk Fields
and Assessor Sigler will meet this after
noon to rlose up their work in passing
on the assessment roll as a board of
equalization. The largest question
pending Is the O. R. & N. assessment
of $1 4,400,000, which the railroad claims
should be reduced to a little over $2,000,
000. At the hearing granted the rail
road men a few davs ago It was shown
thiit the. O. R. N. surplus had been
wiped out bv declaring a dividend In
February. This dividend went to tho
Union Pacific, but tho T'nion Pacllle
had borrowed almost the same sum
from the O. R. & N.. and the not result
waa a little bookkeeping between the
two companies. la sooms likely that
under the facts shown the equalizers
will grant a induction of ttie railroad
assessment, but tills reduction may he
much smiiler than the railroad claims.
TRIAL AWAITS
COLD'S
Mrs. Howe Unable to Attend
Suit Over Land Sold to
Wealthy Chinese.
A wet foot and bad cold prevented
the cae of Moy riow Wing against Mrs.
Carrie Howe and James Gladstone Howe
from going to trial in tho circuit court
this morning. The case Involves tha

000, whb-h the Chinese plaintiff Is al
leged to have induced Mrs. Howe to sell
for $3,600.
Mrs. Down Is the possessor of the
wet foot and tho had cold as well. A
physician stated to Judge Uantenbin
that he saw her this morning and her
temperature was aliovo 101 degrees. In
spite of this, the attorneys for the
pUintiff wanted to go ahead with the
trial, and intimated that Mrs. Howe
would again get her foot wet the next
time the case U caliod If an extension
of time were granted.
Finally both sides consented that tho
case be set for trial December 2. James
Gladstone Howe, son ofAIrs. Howe,

his father. James Howe, and wants the
deed to Moy How Wing set aside. Tho
Chinaman brought suit to quiet the
title.
AWAIT .WORD OF
POLICE JUDGE
"I don't know how often wo will ar
rest J. P. O'Brien," said Mayor Lane
this morning In response to a query as
to whether the Harriman manager will
be arrested daily as long as the South
ern .Pacific continues to violate the
city ordinance requiring It to take tts
Steam locomotive off Fourth street.
Attorneys for the corporation and
City Attorney Kavanaugh have tacitly
agreed to a truce until after tho case
now pen ling against Mr. O'Brien in the
police court is tried. If the case
should go against the company and the
judge should order steam 'car traffic
stopped the railroad will immediately
file an injunction in the federal court
preventing the city from enforcing the
ordinance.

Oldest "Newsboy"
In the World
Mr. Lafayette Lemons, 85 Years of
Age and Still a "Newsy," Is One
of the Noted Characters of
Fort Branch, Indiana.
Mr. Lemons Is a Warm Friend of
Elijah Lincoln, a Living First Cou
sin of the Immortal President,
"Abe" Lincoln. He Is Also
a Veteraft of the Mexi

Speaking- of his health, "Uncle
Lafe" recently said: "I guess Ii
ought to live to see 95 at least, for I I
enjoy perfect health. I am 85 years ;
of age and have used Duffy's Pure j
Malt Whiskey as my only medicine
for the past eight years. I have re-'
ceived excellent benefit from it. I
take it three times a day regularly,'
and it keeps me strong and hearty. ,
"I am the oldest newsboy in the
state of Indiana, and I believe the (
oldest in the world. If there 4s any:
older I hope he will 9ee this inter-(
view and write me. I walk six miles j
every day. I have been in the news j
business for 10 years, and handle ex-j
clusively for our town six daily pa-.
pcrs.
"I know that I could not do the)
work and keep as strong and healthy
as I do if it were not for your great
medicine, and I heartily recommend 1
it to all, both old and young, who j
want a pure, invigorating tonic stim- I
ulant to keep them strong in their
youth and youthful in their old age."
Thousands of men and women, who j
have passed the four-score mark, tell j
the same story as Mr. Lemons about j
what Duffy's Ttire Malt Whiskey has i
done toward renewing their youth j
and keeping them vigorous, hale and i
hearty and in possession of all their j
faculties. As a leading doctor says, j
the secret of the whole thing is thatl
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey, if taken j
as prescribed, drives out all disease !
germs, invigorates the brain, enriches !
the blood, quickens the circulation I
and prevents decay and old age.
This wonderful remedy has been j
extolled throughout the world for
what it has done for suffering hu-!
manity. The success of Duffy's Pure '
Malt Whiskey in curing diseases has
caused many unreliable dealers to put ;
up .substitutes and imitations with!
which to fool the people, claiming
that their substitutes are just as good :
as Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey. In-j
sist on the genuine. It will cure you.
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is sold i
