INiUi-UPCIIY S UREAS lililil 1 j r sif V In spite of the fact that there wu no wheat shipped from here to the' ori ent In December of the year and that there were fewer bushels sentrto Cali fornia than last year, the monthly re port of the Merchant' Exchange, of wneai ana nour shipments from Oregon ana Washington, shows an Increase for this year. While the wheat ihlnmonti nf the combined Puget sound ports have loamu unaer tnose or Uie corresponding month for the previous season. Wheat shipments from this port to Europe and California amounted to 1,8S,856 bushels, while those from the ouna to Europe, California. South America and the orient amounted to S7.T11 bushels. For the cereal year up to date the wheat shipments from this port, as oompared with those of the i m o-il season, have increased to Eu rope, but have fallen off to California and the orient Flour shipped this season, both to the orient snd to California, is greater in amount than during the same period of the cereal year of 1910-11, there be ing 661,775 barrels sent out this season as against 8S8.491 barrels for the cor responding period last season. There was a falling off In December, however, but 86,712 barrels being; Bhipped. The total wheat and flour shipped from Ore gon and Washington during the month wa- 4,594,227 barrels. TO SOON SHIP FLOUR, Grain Carriers Not In Demand- Shippers Await Peace in China. Th exporters will not look very hard for grain carriers while the prospects are good for peace In China, Is the opin ion of one man well known In shipping circles, who says that they will hold their grain If the' outlook continues to look favorable and at the opportune mo ment transport It there In the form of riour. With the high rates' In demand at the present time for grain carriers' there seems to be little disposition1 just now among exporters to charter, and accord ing to the above-mentioned shipping man, the owners are finding It easier to close contracts with the Australian exporters and they seem to prefer send ing their bottoms there from the west coast than they do to North Paclflo ports. One ship, he says, which was offering here Friday, has practically ar rived at a treaty In the Antipodes. There is little doubt, he says, that if peace Is established In China shortly every exporter will throw his wheat in to the mills and vessels going out of here will carry flour cargoes for a while. BARGES WITHOUT LIGHTS. Customs Officials File Charges Against Contract Co. Charges have been filed by the cus toms officials agulnut the Columbia Contract company for having five barges anchored out In the river with' out lights, except one. The barges were tied at the foot of East Main street and there was a gap between them and the dock which was large enough for motor craft to run through. Lines from the wharf to the barges Bapgt-d Into the water so that they were concealed from view and" liable to do damage to any boat that might pass between the barges and the wharf, Tho customs patrol boat H. W. Scott ntarted to go through before the lines were discovered but being well under control she, was enabled to stop before any damage was done. The facts In the case have also been reported to the Lnlted States engineers. riOXKER STEAMBOAT. JIAN. It. S. Oakley, formerly of Portland, Visits Kho.t Time in City. R. S.

Woman Calls Up Custom House to Inquire Correct Time. Customs officials are expected to know a great many thing's and to an swer many questions, both foolish and otherwise, and numbers of people call up the office to make inquiries about things that they could probably learn with greater ease somewhere else. It remained for Special Deputy Collector L. A. Pike to get the best one when a woman called up yesterday and asked for the correct time. ALONG THE WATERFRONT After finishing discharging her bal- ist yesterday, the Norwegian ship Sierra Miranda wag towed up the stream to Montgomery dock No, 2, where she will begin her wheat cargo. Carrying a full list of passengers1 and a cargo composed of 600 tons of grain and 400,000 feet of lumber, the steamer Carlos, Captain Petersen, sailed yes terday for San Franolsco.

(Special to The Journal.) Butte, Deo. SO. W. W. Taylor, gen eral superintendent of the ooal mines of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul system of railroads, died last night at Round-up of blood poisoning; which de veloped from a carbuncle on the neck. Mr. Taylor was one of the best known mining men in the northwest and as a coal mining expert he was known nationally. He played the most import ant part In the development of the ooal properties of Montana. In fact he was one of the pioneers in calling to the attention of the mining world the Im mense coal measures in this state. He entered the Mussel hill valley prospect ing for the Puget Sound railroad long before the advent of that railroad into the northwest Mr. Taylor was known as the "Father of Round-up," the camp near which are located the Montana coal mines of the St. Paul company. The remains of Mr, Taylor were shipped to Chicago, his former home, for interment Mr. Tay lor played a prominent part in the res cue work at the Cherry mine disaster in Illinois, and his ill health dates from the time of that great disaster.

' LOST HEIR' FUNDS L Stories of Millions Held in Chancery for-American Descendants Untrue. By Paul Lambeth. (PeblUben' Pregs Leased wire.) London, -Jeo. 80. If there are any Americans, who are dreaming of mil lions they are to get from funds held in chancery m England, they would do well to awaken, for there are no such funds. It Is true that some 1300,800.000 are held In anancery, but of this less than $6,000,000 Is in what are known as ilor. maat accounts, the owners of which are unknown. Of the unclaimed snirm thw -. ex. 000 separate owners wanted one-half are lets than 8760 and only one-twentieth over $6000. Where does the unclaimed come from? Well, when a person dies wjinoui maxmg a will, the solicitor to the treasury takes possession of th. estate and administers it for the heir-at-law. If no claimant turns uo. it passes over to the assistant paymaster ai me Koyal courts of Justice to swell the "dormant" funds. "Selzs Wanted" Xdsts. Every three rears the narmitr era! publishes In the "London Gazette" a sort of list of "heirs wanted"; but it is or little use to anybody exeent law. yers, the actual names not being given, omes oniy Deing obtainable from the mention of the different lawsuits. This Is to lessen the number of spec ulative claims. But if chancery la far from getlo in its search for helrs-at-law, the Bank of England, which reolvort any Jewelry and plate when an estate passes to the paymaster general. Is even less so. It used to publish a periodi cal list of unclaimed dividends, but for years it has ceased to do so, pre ferrlng to He low rather than attract showers of swindling claims. Many of the small dormant estates are In chancery owing to sheer forget fulness on the parts of the real heirs or owners. How curious this forgetful ness can be shown In 1887, when the Bank of England notified 88.00J consol holders that consols would bring In S per cent no longer. Of the 68,000 no fewer than 11,600 could not be reached. They had died, or forgotten their con sols and their relatives could nn h found. Queer Stories Told. Some curious tales are told of h. dormant estates In chancery. An Ab erdeen man, not many years aeo. wn advertised for by a solicitor in IIol- born. Now, some months before, the Scotchman had, when staying at a Hol born hotel, been undercharged 10 shil lings. Conscience pricked him. To re peat notices that he would hear of some thing to his advantage he only wagged his head wisely, certain that the Hol- born hotel was on his track.. So proud of his cunning was he that he confided in his son. The son was more adventurous, and as soon as bis father died promptly applied. That let ter of application meant an estate run ning into five figures. It may be possible that some neonl. In America have legitimate claims on these dormant funds, but these great estates which run away up Into the millions of dollars are moonshine.

Since Bnker celebrated the centennial of the first apeparance of white men in Powder River valley, local historians are try- ma io mreresi tne Pendleton Commer cial club in the observation of th loon. anniversary of the time when the eyes of white men first beheld the Umatilla river and the broad acres bounding it. destined to become the most fertile i wheat land in the state. With the celo- bratlon of this centennial, these hlstor- ians would have a county historical I eoclety organised for the purpose of ueivjng into tne past, gathering all in formation on the early history of this section of the state and preserving It for futnre generation In this connection It is pointed out that each year the grim reaper claims for his own several of the pioneers who helped make the early history of Umatilla county, and that each carries to his grave secrets of much signifi cance which should have been recorded. Xowfll Zieada Movement, Among those who are interesting themselves in the formation of a his torical society are Judge Stephen A. Lowell, a member of the State Histor ical society, and Major Lee Moor house, one of the best authorities on early incidents In this section of the northwest. January 7. 1812, Is believed to have been the date when the Umatilla river was discovered by white men. The au thority for this belief is found In Washington Irvlngs "Astoria," In which Is told, from the notes and records of John Jacob Astor, the story of the overland voyage of Wilson Price Hunt and his band of sturdy followers from St Louis to the mouth of the Columbia river. Crossed Bine Mountains, After leaving Powder river, where they were encamped December 38. 1811. Hunt and his party headed for the Blue mountains, through which the Indians told them they would have to pass be fore they reached the Columbia river. Their course Is followed with comnarn- tlve ease by the remarkably accurate descriptions given by Irvlnr. Thus It is easy to recognize the valley where me Canadian voyageurs insisted upon spending New Tear's day, as that of the Grande Ronde. From there, the pas sage or me Blue mountains with Its attendant hardships and suffering, Is described, the Journey to the summit requiring five days. "On the th of January, however," runs the chronicle, "they had crossed the dividing summit of the chain, and were evidently under the Influence of a milder climate. The snow began to decrease, the sun once more emerged from the thick canopy of clouds and shone oheerlnelv udoh them, and they caught sight of what appeared to Oe a plain stretching ou io uie west, xney hailed It as th poor Israelites hailed the first srllmns of the promised land, for thev fif. tered themselves that this might be me great plain or the Columbia, and that their painful pilgrimage might be arawing to a close." Discovery of tne Umatilla. In another day, the story relates, the weary travelers came upon an India encampment upon the banks of a river cauea KU-o-taiia or Umatilla, and from the description of the place where the natives naa melr tepees set up, It must have been In the neighborhood of the present station of Cayuse, or near mo inaian agency on the Umatilla reservation. The Indians, though biiukod ot oy Irving as tne Sclatogas were undoubtedly the Cavuses or th. Umatlllas, the remnants of which tribes are now on the reservation near here. The account goes on to tell of the trip down the Umatilla to the Columbia river ana tne journey down the Colum bia to Astoria, which place was reached on eoruary ib, but Insofar as the fix ing of the date of the party's appear ance on the Umatilla river, this part oi uio cnronicie nas no Dcarlng.

The recom mendation of the secretary of war re garding the Improvement of Tillamook bay adds a new impetus to tne tim ber Industry In this county. Timber is the greatest and least developed asset of the county. It is estimated that 86,000,000,000 feet spruce, fir, hem lock and cedar one sixth of the stand ing timber of . Oregon Is tributary to this harbor. To lack of adequate har bors is due in large measure, the ermallness of the lumber output Large tracts are held by corporations. some of which are recognized as lead ers In the industry. The Blodgett company, the Hammond Lumber com pany, the Whitney company, the Wheel er Lumber company, the Wilson River Timber company, each, owns thousands of acres of timber lands within the county.

Government Zoologist De scribes Many Species Taken In Wilds. Washington, Deo. 20. Colonel Edgar Meatus, associate in soology. United States National Museum, describes many new birds from Africa, in two papers re cently issued by the Smithsonian Insti tution. The first of these papers comprises a description of 15 new species and sub species of African birds, oollected by the Smithsonian African expedition under the direction of Colonel Theodore Roose velt during the years 1809-10, and forms the fourteenth of the papers relating to tne results or that expedition. Ten of the birds Included in the paper were discovered by members of the ex pedition nine by Dr. Mearns and one by J. Alden Lortng. Many Odd Discoveries. The scientific names of theee new birds would hardly be of interest to the general reader. It may suffice to say that many odd and beautiful ones are Included, some of which ln English are called spurfowl, francollns, stone pheas ants, golden weavers, bush robins, bush warblers and bulbula. The spurfowl and franeoltn. whloh come from the regions of Mount Kenla, Mount Kilimanjaro and Lake victoria, are among the principal game birds of British East Africa, and correspond to our guinea fowl and partridge. In the second paper Dr. Mearns has described some new African grass warb lers, also collected by the Smithsonian expedition ln Africa. This paper Is the fifteenth dealing with the African ex pedltlon. It embraces the description of seven new species and subspecies of these birds, four of which were discov ered by members of the expedition, one by Dr. W. L. Abbott an American ex plorer of note, and the two others, from the Museum of Comparative Zoology, by Dr. Glover M. Allen. Bow They Are Classified. Those collected by the representatives of the Smithsonian Institution are named as follows: The equatorial grass warbler, of which 2 specimens were seucred, came from Lake Nlvosha; the northern grass warb ler from the "Rhino Camp;" the Kapltl Plain grass warbler, of which there were five, from the plains of that name. and 13 specimens of Relchenow's grass warbler, named after Dr. Anton Relche' ow; all from British East Africa. These birds are all new and form an Interest ing addition to the bird fauna of East Africa.
