Kan Francisco, Oct. 21. The South
ern Pacific, Union Pacific, Illinois
Central and Now York Central roads
are preparing to take across the con
tinent the lurgest shipment of blooded
horses ever made from San Francisco
to New York.
The horses are to be shipped on
November 19th next from J. B. Hag
gln's famous Rancho del Paso, which
Is to be sold In small tracts for farm
ing purposes. The shipment will re
quire four trains of 12 cars each, and
they arc to bo run on passenger train
time.
The railroads will get for this ship
ment $42,500 in freight charges. In
addition there will bu other expenses,
which will bring the cost of sending
this big shipment east up to $00,000.
In the shipment there are to be
about 600 horses, consisting of 503
brood mares and about 87 stallions.
Among the latter are the following
famous Imported ones: Watercress.
Goldfinch. Golden darter, Ktur Ruby.
Toddlngtnn and sr. Outlcn.
With each cur there will be two
men to lank after the feeding of the
horses on the trip east, while with
each train will he a foreman and a
veterinary surgeon. The value of these
animals runs well up Into tho hun
dreds of thousuiids of dollars; so thut
Is why tho greatest care and attention
are to be given them while on their
long Journey to New York. It Is Bald
that the railroad people. In making a
rate of about $900 a car, expressly
stipulated In the shipping contract that
In ease of accident resulting In the
death of any of the blooded they would
not be liable In damages for over $100
per head.
An extra carload of the stock Is to
go to Hnggln's famous Kentucky
farm. He Is to keep the latter on as
large a scale as ever, while seeing fit
to relinquish his big stock farm out
here In California. Only one more
shipment, following the one of next
month, will be made before the stock
ranch, as such, goes out of existence.
The lust shipment will take plsce next
spring. It will consist of 20 carloads
of colts, which will go cast to lie sold
at auction In New York.

:Cew York. Oct. 21. In their review
of the cotton situation Miller & Co.
ay:
"One of the efforts of' tho recent
drop In temperature will be the release
of a great deal of pent-up cotton In
the Mississippi valley, where quaran
tines have seriously Interfered with
transportation. Quarantines cease
when frosts set In, and It Is behaved
that a heavy movement of cotton will
begin toward New Orleans. Such a
movement would take at least a week
or .0 days before showing In the offi
cial record of receipts and meanwhile,
there may ho quite a sharp falling 'off
fn the total, since private reports are
almost unanimous in stating that far
mera have sold little or nothing since
October I, and the holdings by mer

Of all the spectacles of tbo sens uotie
Is so tragic aa the derelict, the errant
of the trackless deep.. Weird lsyond
description Is the picture presented by
some broken and buttered hulk as she
swings Into view ngalnst the sky line,
with the turgid green suns sweeping
over her moss grown decks and a
splintered fragment of mnst pointing
upward, aa If In protest ngalnHt her
dadoing. It Is it sight also to arouse
fenr.
For the derelict Is the most potent of
all the dangers that threaten the sea
furer. Silent stealthy. Invisible, It Is
the terror of the mariner. It Is the
arch hypocrite of the deep. Against It
skill of seamanship, vigilance in watch
lug, avail not. Lights and whistles,
beams and buoys proclaim the proxim
ity of laud; the throbbing of engines,
the noise of shipboard life tell of an
approucblng vessel; Icebergs and floes
betray themselves by their ghostly1 ra
dinnce and surrounding frigidity of
nlr. lint the derelict gives no wnrulng,
makes no signal. The first sign of Its
existence Is the crash, the sickening
tremble and quaver of the ship sudden
ly wounded to death. P. T. MeOrnth

INDIAN l'OW-WOW A "FROST."
"National Convention" of Hop Pick
ers Is Sinno "Shy." "
A weekly paper of this city pub
lishes an Interview with Lancaster
Spencer, the Indian, who had charge
of the national (?) convention of In
dluns held last week on the state fair
grounds, says the Yakima 'Republic.
In the Interview it Is said that Dr.
1. J. Hill, of this city, a member of
the fair commission, agreed to give
11000 and furnish two beeves. 1000
loaves of bread and two wagonloads
i.f watermelons to the assembly of In
dians. Spencer "roasts" North Yakima for
not supporting the affair. Then he
declares that he was deceived and dis
appointed In the money that he claims
was promised and never received.
Finally he blames the citizens of this
tcrwn for the fact that the stores were
closed on Sunday. ,
The affair was advertised as a na
tional convention and turned out to
be simply a gathering of Indians who
had been picking hops in the neigh
boring valley. In regard to .the
money. Ir. Hill denies that he ever
promised any. He kept his word In
regard to what he did promise and
has receipts to show that he furnish
ed two beeves and KOO loaves of bread
to the Indians. As far as the matter
of Sunday closing goes the Indian rep
resentatlve must be politely referred
to Prosecuting Attorney Knits.
Concerning his personal responsi
bility Dr. Hill made the following
statement to a Republic reporter this
morning:
"I never promised $1000 or any
a mon nt of money to Lancaster Spen
cer. er anyone else. I did say that
I would see that they got two beeves
and 500 loaves of bread and have the
receipts to prove rt, and without them
I have an Idea that my word In North
Yakima is as good us that of any In
dian. I have not sen the article you
speak of."

plL LAXATIVE op
Known Oualit
It
There arc two classes ot remedies: those of known qual-,
ity and which are permanently beneficial in effect, acting
gently, in harmony with nature, when natureneetls assist
ance; and another class, composed of preparations of
unknown, uncertain and inferior character, acting tempc
rarily, but injuriously, as a result of forcing the natural
functions unnecessarily. One of the most exceptional of
the remeiliesof known quality andexcellence is the ever
pleasant Syrup of Fins, manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co., which represents the active principles of
plants, known ti act most beneficially, in a pleasant syrup,
in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to con
tribute their rich, yet delicate, fruity flavor. It is the remedy
of all remedies to sweeten and refreshandcleanse the system
gently and naturally, and to assist one in overcoming consti
pation and the many ills resultingtherefrom. Its active princi
ples and quality are known to physicians generally, and the
remedy has therefore met with their approval, as well as with
the tavor of many millions or well informed persons wno Know
of their own personal knowlede and from actual experience
thatit is a mostexcelient laxative remedy. We do not claim that
ir - .-!, , i . .j ii. i i ii..
il win cure an manner or nis.nui recommenu it lor wnai it rrany
represents, a laxative remedy of know n quality and excellence,
containing nothing of an objectionable or injurious character.
There are two classes of purchasers: those who are informed
to the quality of what they buy and the reasonsfor the excellence
articles of exceptional merit, and who do not lack courage to go
Isewhere when a dealer offers an imitation of anywell known
rticle; but, unfortunately, there are some people who do not know,
nd who allow themselves to be imposed upon. They cannot expect
beneficial effects if thev do not Bet the genuine remedy.
To the credit of the druggists of the United States be it said
that nearly all of them value their reputation for professional
tegrity and the good will of their customers too nighly to otter
imitations of the
Genuine Syrup of Figs i
manufactured by Ihe California Fig Syrup Co., and in order
to buy the genuine article and to get its beneficial effects,
one has only to note, when purchasing, the full name of

luuibla River.
I'nder the personal supervision of
Captain A. Fries a force of 10 United
States engineers is making a survey
of the upper Columbia river between
the mouth of the Snake and the Port
age railroad In order to ascertain the
cost of Improving the channel so that
It will he navigable the year round,
says the Oregon Dally Journal. It
will be the first complete survey that
bits ever been made of thnt stretch of
the Columbia.
The men are now employed near
Cmatllla and from that point will
conduct operations down stream. It
Is estimated that it will require about
three months to complete the task.
The data secured will be forwarded to
Washington and congress will be ask
ed to make an appropriation for the
Improvement of the channel.
A couple of hnuscDoats built for
ihe purpose are being used by the en
gineers ns living quarters. On an
average they will not be able to cover
more than one and a half miles a day.
There are a number of bad rapids on
which considerable work will have to
be done. It Is believed, before the
channel can be put In the best of con
dition. In these many large boulders
are lying and will be a menace to nav
igation until they1 have been blasted
out and removed. The engineers are I
of the opinion that this line ot work!
will Involve the greatest cost of open-,
ing up the channel. I
In its effort to secure a 40-foot
channel from Portlnnd to the sea,
the local board of trade will ask for
the co-operation of the state granges
of Oregon, Vashington and Idaho. At
a meeting of the river and harbor
committee of the board yesterday an
otfer of assistance was received from
Orange No. 27 of this county, which
will be accepted. The state organiza
tions will be corresponded with on
the subject and It Is thought that they
will agree to assist in bringing about
the desired result. In the past it is
said that the granges have taken a
deep interest in river and harbor af
fairs. The board of trade also decided to
request Major S. W. Roessler to make
a survey of the Columbia river bar at
the earliest poslhle date, so that it
may be learned definitely as to the
accuracy of the recent statements of
the pilots concerning the depth of the
water In that locality. Surveys cannot
be made thero with any accuracy un
til the bar Is perfectly smooth. The
Major recently declared that sound
ings will be taken as soon as I
weather conditions are favorable.
