- 1 1 WIND, IT BLOW, VESSEL DAMAGED Coal Bunkers Shifted Onto Ernest Legouve and Fright en's Captain and Crew- Little Damage. As in the wreck of ths Julie Plante, Me wind she blow, blow, blow," and Sh blw to surh good effect last nlgrht that she blow a part of the Taclflc Coast coal bunkers onto the . Kronen bark Ernest I-rgomo at 7 o'clock and caused Captain Seorjre Ancclln to nar rowly escupu with his life, while ths crew lcapt-d to the dock thinking the ship was about to be demolished. The damage was small, a lifeboat and some of the deck furniture forward being demolished, as well as some damage being sustained by the galley. 1 1 The beKouve has been at the coal bunkers for some time discharging a caro of coal from Newcastle, Austra lia, and near where she Is lying a part " of the bunkers was being torn down. When the wind storm cume up last night this section of the bunkers was blown down and landed on the deck of the Frenchman with a mighty crash. ' At ths time the crash cams the cook was lit the galley and as the timbers struck that structure the culinary ar- ' tlst rushed forth as white as a sheet, ' but flourishing a huge knife In each ? hand, thinking that an attack had been t made on the snip, une crew naa m i ready taken to ths dock, fearing the ship was about to sink. t A few ' minutes before the struoture toppled. Captain Ancelln had started J to make a tour of the decks, and Just about two seconds before the crash ; came he was standing In the exact spot .on which the timbers fell. He had Just reached the cabin and was about to enter when he heard the cracking of the part of tha bunkers that fell and ' turned Just In time to see them strike "i. the deck. The first thing that he thought about was his own miraculous ' escape.

Thirteen royal chlnook salmon, averaging 30 pounds each were taken from Itogus river in two hours by Will Walker and Rival Stars Sing in Chinook Jargon at the State Fair Each Wins Applause and Each Appeals Equally to the Audience. (Salem Burets of The Journal.) Salem, Or., Sept. 13. Two noted sing ers waged a memorable contest for first place in popular favor at the state fair last night Ferullo's grand opera star, and Cyrus H. Walker, the pioneer wlelder of the Chinook Jargon. Mr. Walker, who bears the distinction of being Oregon's first native born child. 1888, came upon the platform and plead ed as his motive In singing several Chinook songs a desire to create an In terest among the younger generations which would cause the Chinook lan guage to be perpetuated and not be come extinct with the present genera tion. This language, he explained, was suppose to have been Invented by early trappers u a species of Esperanto for Europeans and the six great tribes of Willamette valley and Columbia river Indians. After Walker's first Chinook song to the tune of "Come Thou Fount" there was long, persistent applause. Then he sang with intensity another In dian homeland song, which will never be forgotten by the Urge audience pres ent Soon after this quaint song, grand opera singing was given by Ferullo's stars. These singers were pronounced high class. Owing to the heavy shewed In Salem nd vicinity Just t nightfall, the pro gram for the evening hsd to be changed. The eampflre was abandoned, and the orowd assembled In the auditorium. Here Judge Petor H. D'Arcy presided and Introduced several pioneer speakers.

AS Professor Bacon's lecture at the Art museum last evening on "Herod the Hellenizer and the Monuments of His Age," was divided Into two parts. A brief historical Introduction described Herod as or of the most romantic characters of history, and brought out vividly the special significance of tne transforming work accomplished for Palestine by the Herodlan dynasty. In the Gospels Herod appears only as the tyrant who has usurped the throne of David and seeks to destroy the legal heir. , In Josephus. the contemporary Jew ish historian, and In the modern drama of Stephen Phillips which so ably transcribes the portrait of Jesephus, an other aspect appears. With all the bloody tragedy of his domestic life and in Bplte of Jewish hatred, Herod is seen to deserve his title "the Great" by commanding qualities of character and statesmanship. But for the student of history the most vivid and significant light of all is thrown upon Herod's ca reer by the magnificent remains of his work as a public builder. His cities, fortresses and public buildings still show the really dominant policy of his life. His work and that of his suc cessors in the government was to Hel lenize, or, as we should say, to Intro duce western culture and civilization In Judea, where the violence of Antlochua Kplphanes a century before had made At beautiful. Antlochus, who strove to Introduce Greek civilization by force, even undertaking to supprees the re ligion of the Jews, made a disastrous failure. Herod, under most difficult conditions, won measurable success. To Illustrate this important transition epoch in the history of Biblo lands. Professor Bacon, In the second part of his lecture threw upon the screen a eui cession of photographic views of the ruined Fraeco-Roman cities of Pales tine, beginning with those built over by me veterans or Alexander the Great. including the famous cities of Decapo lis, Phlladalphla-Ammon. Gcrasa-Jerash, Pella and Scythopolls, and concluding with the cities and buildings of Herod himself. Some of the views of Caesarca, the seaport constructed by him, of Ccllrrhoe, the hot springs near Mach aerus, the prison of John the Baptist, the ruins of which were also shown, and of Herodeion, the palace-fortress near Bethlehem where Herod, was buried, were both romantically interesting and Intrinsically beautiful. The work of the American School of Archaeology In Jerusalem cannot fall to be replete with interest ana scientino value in such a field. . : JAPAN-PORTLAND TRADE RELATIONS Trndn relations between JaDan and Portland were dlsciiHsed at an Im promptu luncheon tendored today by ine unamDer or commerce to Aklna Shlto, special trade commissioner from Japan, who Is In Portland. O. M. Clark presided at the luncheon, which was given In the Commercial club. Among Uie prominent Japanese present were Aklna fihito, guest of honor; M. Ida, new consul from Japan; 8. Ban and 8. Benda. Tho luncheon was arranged by E. C. Giltner, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce. Suit to Foreclose Mortgage. Julia K. Illlnn haa begun suit In the circuit court against K. A. Lynds and C. M. Lynds, IiUHband and wife, to fore close a mortgage given as security for a $G000 note. Tha mortgage covers property on Kat Portland Heights and the plaintiff also asks1 for $780 attorney fees.

This disagreeable sick feeling can, be quickly Corrected by taking HOSTE TTER'S bitters11 It Hm Helped Thousand Will Help, You, Too TRY IT TODAY v ALL DRUGGISTS How Pretty Girl Gave Up Hunk of ; Gum to Stop Leak in Sinking Craft Ross Bates Is a drummer. He sells shoes. Bates could sell wire nails or codfish cakes, and It wouldn't affect this story In the least But the fact of the matter is, he sells shoes. Mr. Bates, who Is a guest of the Im perial hotel. Is today resting after a thrilling end wearisome experience. It is a sad case. Last week Mr. Bates was In the state of Washington, calling on the trade in various towns and cities and cross roads and water tank towns. In order to pass the time swiftly and with all the trim mings that go with the passing thereof, Mr. Bates frequently becomes ac quainted with the village belle, or the black haired waitress in the hotel where he takes his meals, or maybe, the daugh ter of the shoe dealer of the town. So it came abotit that last Tuesday night he took the mayor's daughter out for a boat ride on a lake adjoining a pretty little village In the Olymplo mountains. v Now this mayors daughter was a gum ohewer of considerable ability. Hot s "Piker." She was not what Bates would call "Piker." She Is never satisfied, he says, unless she has about a dimes worth of chicle stored away In the re cesses of her mouth for future refer ence or Immediate use, as the case may be. So last Tuesday night. Bates bought a quarter's worth of gum before they went to the boat He says he never asked her any questions, because It re quired at least 10 minutes for .her to get her gum adjusted so she couioi re ply. By that time she had forgotten what It was he had asked her. And so had ha The happy pair the shoe drummer and the mayor's daughter rowed around the edge of the lake, picking water 111 ios and talking about the beautiful moon, and the like. Then they decided to go out to the middle of the lake where the water was plenty deep. So they went. The boat, a gentle, trusting creature, that had never misbehaved a day In Its life, then became unruly. It sprang a leak. Tiny TjSak Byruiig. It was a tiny leak, to be sure, but ft let In the water anyway. And there was nothing In the boat with which to ball It out Besides, it was a long ways to shore. They crawled to a higher spot In the boat, holding up their feet and en dangering their lives by rocking the boat In so doing. It became tiresome and life didn't really seem worth living. After a while a great little Idea struck Bates. 'Gimme about a pound of your gum," he said. The gtrl handed It over sorrowfully. And then the drummer got down on REFUSE TO . BILL ABBOrting that A. 8. Brlggs, while superintendent of the Linnton rockplle. ordered $118.60 worth of tobacco for the prisoners at expense of the county after he had been informed the county would not pay future tobacco bills County Commissioners Lightner and Hart have refused to approve a bill presented by Sig Slchel & Co., from whom the smoke stuff was purchased. "After I eame Into office," said Com mlssloner Hart, "I refused to approve tobacco bills for the prisoners. Mr, Llghtner Joined me In this position. 1 believe a bill for January went through, but after that I refused to approve any more such claims. Mr. Brlggs was th stnicted to this effect. Air. Llghtner and I both get slong without tobacco, and we thought the prisoners could do the same "Some months, I found, the county paid tobacco bills as high as $160. They ran from $80 up. Despite our orders, Mr. Brlggs, with no authority whatever. bought another big bill of goods from Mr. Slchel. Under the circumstances we do not believe the county Is liable for the bill. Mr. Slchel has sent a letter to the commissioners calling attention to the bill and asking why It has not been paid. He wants the answer In writing so he may decide "what course to pur sue." A suit against the county Is In ferred to be probable. The grand Jury assembled In Its new quarters on the sixth floor of the court house for the first time today. Ever since the grand Jury system was re sumed In this state the old court house was too crowded to enable It to meet there, and it has been established at the district attorney's office. A wait ing room for witnesses and a room for the district attorney complete the grand Jury suite. The grand Jurors are still busy with minor cases, and probably will be oc cupied with routine matters, for several days to oome, when the decks may ba cleared for the expected Investigation of north end conditions.
