TO TAKE CARGO HERB Bornelen to Ixad Lumber at Port- land Instead of at Sound. . Instead of going to Puget sound to load, lumber for Australia, as hereto fore reported, the Norwegian steamer Hornelen Is scheduled to arrive here next week from San Francisco and she will take her cargo at the Eastern & Western mills, St. Johns and at Linn ten. She is under charter to J. J. Woo re & Co. The next one to arive af ter the Hornelen will be the Norwegian steamer Hercules, under charter to Frank Waterhouse & Co., which is due to arrive at San Francisco from the orient today. : The barkentine Puako, previously re ported in The Journal as being under charter to Balfour, Guthrie & Co.. for a cargo of lumber to the west coast, will sail from San Francisco for this port next week. . She brought a rate of it billings pence from Portland to Valparaiso. She will load at the Port land Lumber company's mills. "-The latest charter In the coastwise trade from the Columbia river was the schooner C S. Holmes which was fixed yesterday afternoon for a cargo to San Pedro at $5. FAVORS ACETYLENE BUOY Beck Sayg Lightship as Range Also Too Expensive. That a good ascetyline gas buoy inside trie bar is a much better proposition man to use old lightship No. 69 as i range, is the opinion of Lighthouse In spector H. L. Beck. In addition to the Immense cost of maintenance, which In cludes keeping a crew aboard, sava Mr. Beck, the lightship would be In the fair way and liable to be run down by other vessels, those being the big arguments in favor of a buoy. At the present time me om lightship, which Is of the ob solete mailing type, is not in a seaworthy condition, but estimates are being pre pared as to the cost of putting her In snape again. ' '. .

High words or commendation were spoken laxt night at the session of the grand lodge officers of the Elks and the commission in charge of the plans for the grand lodge reunion next July by Grand Kxalted Ruler John P. Sul livan. In speaking of the work of prep aratlon, Mr. Sullivan declared that In all his experience he had never known of any lodge which had gone ahead as" rapidly at a date bo far In "advance of the convention. His words were largely directed at Secretary Harry C. McAllls ter, of the 1912 commission, who has had charge of this work. Mr. Sullivan also complimented the commission on Its publicity work, say ing that It had been accomplished with "wisdom. Judgment and prudence" and that the grand lodge would abrogate Its prerogative of censoring news given out. This la an unusual concession for the grand lodge to make. upon their arrival yesterday the grand lodge officials, Grand Exalted Kuler Sullivan and Grand Secretary FreJ C. Robinson were taken to the head quarters at the Hotel Portland. Later with crand Trustees Carey L. Apple gate and Thomas B. Mills, they were tendered a dinner at the Imperial hotel at which the members of the 1912 com mission and officers of the local lodge were present. Bano.net and Reception. Following the banquet a reception was held In the club rooms In the Elks building for members of the lodge ana members of the Portland Press club, who had been specially invited. Joe Tinker of the Chicago Cubs, was also a guest of honor. An orchestra played during the evening and a musical pro gram added to the enjoyment. Frank Hennessy made the hit of the evening, when he sang a parody on the song "Harrigan," written in honor of Mr. Sullivan. Others who sang were Fred Bauer, Gene Wilson and Cy Confer. All were encored repeatedly. During the evening the commission and the visiting officials held a session, at which Mr. Sullivan complimented the local lodge. The meeting was for the purpose of acquainting the grand lodge visitors with what the local lodge and commission had accomplished. The vis itors expressed themselves as more than satisfied with the results up to the pres ent, and declared that they anticipated the greatest reunion that has ever been held. Inspect Hotels. This morning the visitors are making an Inspection of the hotels which are In the field for the honor of being named the official headquarters of the grand lodge during the festivities. Four ho tels have submitted propositions, and the officials are making a personal can vass of their accommodations and Bult ability. These are the Portland, Mult nomah, Imperial and Oregon. During the day they will also inspect the three places available for the meeting of the grand lodge. Thest three are the tern porary auditorium erected for Gipsy Smith, the Ilelllg theatre and the Ar mory. They are the only places of suf ficient size to accommodate the meet Ings. The officials will also be taken over the routes proposed for the pa rades. Whatever time remains will be spent In discussing the results of these In spectlons, and as soon as possible de clslons will be retiched in all. This evening tne visitors are to be the guests of honor at a formal banquet of the lodge at Richards grill. lt" V: ' J , -. 5C WA Xh 'i4 tmltih - f (Salem Bureio of Tb Journal.) Salem, Or., Dec. 6.

The Empress went ashort on Mera reef, near Yokohama, July 27, while bound from Vancouver to Japan. She was thought to be a total wreck. Ex cellent salvage work has been done and there Is every reason to believe the steamer will soon be In commission again. She probably will be towed to a Japanese drydock for extensive re pairs. The mishap occurred at almost the same spot where the Great North ern liner Dakota was lost March 4. 1907. ALOXG THE WATERFRONT Carrying passengers and general freight the steamer Sue II. Elmore.

The steamer Washington will probably be ready to ;ik her cargo for the Bay City next Tuesday or Wednesday. 1 he steamer Nome City, Captain Han- Kon, which arrived last night from San 'ranclsro, will load lumber on the river for San 1'edro. I'he steamer Coaster, Captain Wig gins, has cleared at the custom house for Kan Pedro with 650,000 feet of lum- er.

Many amateurs who have entered birds In the annual show of the Oregon Poultry and Pet Stock association, which is now being held In the now Multnomah hotel at Third and Pine streets, are winning prizes for their pets. The majority of these Junior poultry raisers are those who have been members of the Junior Poultry asso ciation of this city, working under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. Richard Kelly, who Is 10 years old, scored 84 points on the fourth pullet of the White Wyandotte variety. This is a remark able score, according to Mr. Smith, sec retary of the association, especially for an amateur to make. Frank Mltchel, also an amateur of this city, was awarded a prize on a second cockerel of the same variety. E. C. Oliphant, an amateur of Cleone, Or., made a very high score, winning prize second on pullet also of this variety. Miss O. Breitenbach, a 16-year-old school girl. surprised the Judges by winning first prize on a cockerel of the White Or pington variety. The highest score by any owner was made by D. N. Lash of Woodlawn. who was awarded first prize on cock, hen and pullet. His birds were the best in the White Plymouth Rock class. In the White Leghorn class, which was Judged yesterday,, R. J. Renny of Vancouver, Wash., won the highest hon ors, capturing four blue ribbons. Mil ler brothers of Tacoma and W. B. Brown of Portland were also awarded blue ribbons for their birds In this class. Mr. Renny's exhibits are ftmonir tho best at the how, it Is said. In th rose comb class of White Leghorns he oarrled off first prize on cock, cock erel and pullet.

C. C Chapman, in delivering the ad dress of welcome, commented on the Improvement In the milk supply re sultant from agitation commenced two years ago. The agitation, being of a radical, enthusiastic and determined character, said Mr. Chapman, may have done some harm, but the injury to any Individuals is far overbalanced by the good accomplished and the protection to life afforded. In calling the meeting to order Pres ident A. II. Lea of the association A. dared that thlm. the second annual con vention or the butter and cheese makern will be considered hereafter as distinct ively the turning point In the dairy In dustry of Oregon and that there Is a disposition on the part of all concerned to aid in developing the Industry and In holding it to a high standard. All northwestern Show. D. O. Lively advocated an all-north western show to be held In Portland next fall and the suggestion will be act ed upon: Professor F. L. Kent said he had Vund one family that paid for milk and cream, butter and cheese 32 per cent of me total amount spent for food. Other instances, he said, were of parallel na ture, and these examples, declared Pro fessor Kent, are but a partial indication of the high Importance of the dairy In dustry to the families, the homes of the state. He advised that members of the association got into contact with the commercial Interests of their neighbor hood and see to -it that fair and ade quate publicity be secured to show the j constant advance being made in methods ! and production. Deputy E. T. Judd of the dairy and food commissioner's office told how Improvement and benefit for the dairy men can be obtained through coopera tion between the dairy and food com mission and the individual members of the dairy organizations. Pure Wlk Supply. Carl Schalllnger of Hazelwood Cream company related the effort made by Portland creameries to obtain pure milk promptly from the producers through out the area adjoining the city. This, said Mr. Schalllnger, Is a big and im portant business and requires constant inspection and attention. The schedule for this afternoon in cludes the annual address by President A. H. Lea and other addresses by T. S. Townsend, Marshal N. Dana, Professor John Sollie and Albert Lea and Otto Kriedlt. At the business session offi cers will be elected and the awards given In the competitive exhibit will be announced. The State Dairy association begins Its annual convention tomorrow morning. Councilman Joy will represent the city tomorrow at the opening of the convention of Oregon dairymen. He will deliver an address of welcome. General Bernardo Reyes. (United Presa Leaaed Wlr.) San Antonio, Texas. Dec. 6 Federal of ficials here are seeking General Ber nardo Reyes today. Reyes is alleged to have Jumped his bond and reentered Mexico, being reported to have passed through Corpus Christ! en route to the border during the night In disguise. A search warrant probably will be issued for him here today. Mexico City, Dec. 6. The Maderista government is worried about the where abouts of General Reyes, and it is feared that he is in northern Mexico, fomenting another rebellion. Few offi cials here believe that General Reyes would let the mere Jumping of his bond, even though It be under United States uthorlty, deter him from carrying out any revolutionary plans he may have. ROMANCE DISCOVERED AFTER THEY'RE WED New York, Dec. 6. The old saying, truth is stranger than fiction," was exemplified in the discovery by Anna M. Hoover and Oscar Martin File, after their marriage, that they had known each other years ago In Iowa, Miss Hoover was a young girl when the Great Western was In process of building Its road through Iowa. The right of way ran through the center of the Hoover farm at Waterloo. Among her many friends in the train crews none was more welcome than the young brakeman who passed through once each week and waved a greeting to the little, dark haired girl who eagerly awaited his arrival. Last year the grown up Miss Hoover left the State Normal school of Iowa and came to Los Angeles In search of health. At the apartments where, she resided Oscar M. File, a messenger for the American -Express company, was also a guest. Their acquaintance led to the altar. Not until after the ceremony was performed did a chance remark reveal the romantic fact that Mr. File was the brakeman of former years and Miss Hoover the farmer's daughter with whom he bad exchanged so many greetings. Washington, Tec. 6. Protests con tinue to pour In against the west exten sion of the Umatilla project. The Stan field Commercial club sends another set of resolutions setting forth the objec tions of the faimers near Pilot Rock to the government proceeding with the extension, advising Instead the construc tion of the so-calied John Day project. It Is understood here there Is no John Day project. The government never got beyond an estimate for It, which was about J22,OOO,O00, the canals to cover 200,000 acres. Those figures, however, were only an estimate. Ac tual construction wouldlikely entail expense exceeding that sum. It lg manifestly Impracticable to di rect serious attention to the so-called John Day project. And many here whose Interest Is deep In advancing irri gation in Oregon have declared that the opposition so far has not only been mys terious but absurd as well. In the ab sence of legislation these persons are forced to the conclusion that some hid den interest has prompted the flood of mere objections. It Is believed that Individual farmers in most Instances are perfectly sincere n their opposition, but that they have been told things not exactly squaring with the facts regarding the effect of construction on ceitain private concerns which the west extension would produce. It la also held here that the highest in terest of the greatest number makes the west extension a project that should be pushed to the earliest possible completion. Inasmuch as congress would have an additional of $16,000,000 to expend If Borah's bill providing for certificates of Indebtedness should pass, the tangle produced by these protests seems espe cially unfortunate to friends of Oregon development at the capital.

GIRLCANT REMEMBER OF HER WANDERINGS After enjoying a hearty breakfast and a fair night's rest. Miss Wtlma Mc Knlght was this morning unable to re member anything concerning her wan derings in last Monday night's rain storm when she- finally sought shelter at the home of F. W. Keller, Front and Hooker streets. She still complains of pains In her head, though these are not as violent as they were when she appeared at Mr. Keller's home. Dr. J. IX Sternberg, who has attended Miss McKnlght since she warn sent to St. Vincent's hospital late Monday night, finds no trace of violence of any sort, and the theory first advanced, that she had been dazed by a blow, has been abandoned. Her complete loss of memory for the spaco of four hours, during which she. is sup posed to have wandered the streets, is attributed .to the distraction caused by a nervous headache, to which she is occasionally subject. Miss McKnlght is the daughter of J. W. McKnight, a prominent mining man of Seattle, and has for some time t t :i a student at St. ueien s nan. one i 17 years of age. She went into the gar dens for a walk Just after dark Monday evening, after complaining of her luail, and being advised by the sisters to go out In the open air. She was unablo to tell her name when she went to tho Keller home and her rainsoaked coat and hat gave evidence of her wanderings. The girl's mother and her two timers, Miss Vera McKnlght, and My. J. II. O'Neill, wife of the general superin tendent of the Great Northern railroad, have arrived from Seattle and are stop ping at the home of George M. Nolan on Northup street, the girl's uncle.

Five of Mrs. Clara Roach's husbands received invi tations to meet her in the office of Prosecutor Scovel of Camden, but only two responded. Mr. Scovel is, Inclined to believe that when all the facts are known It will be found that Mrs. Roach's matrimonial ventures were many more than the number so far known. "I would like to meet them all once again before I go to Jail," the woman said to Mr. Scovel. The two husbands who called at the court house were the first and last, I Frank Glfford and John Roach. She j shook hands with them both and re-1 marked that she hoped, there would'! be no feeling of Jealousy between them, as she had no love for either. "You knew you were committing the ! crime of bigamy when you married me," , Roach said t her rather bitterly. I "Oh, no, I wasn't." replied the woman, ' "for in every one of the marriages, i when the prcachtr asked the question if I took the man by my side as my 1 husband, I did not say the words 'I will.'" I This was her plan to evade the law, sho afterward explained to Prosecutor Scovel. " ' "But I found all five about alike," she continued. "Most of them were nice to me a little while, and then they were Just like other men, and I grew tired of them. " The only exception was Myers. He was always devoted, but even he did not satisfy the longings of a woman's heart. But I never al lowed two of my husbands to believe I loved them at the same time."
