Sign of better Times.
II am not in politics now" said ex-Repre-
sentative Huling of West Virginia to Star
reporter II am saying nothing and saw
ing wood"
This is literally true Mr. Huling is now
devoting his entire attention to his lumber
business. He will be remembered Is a
prominent member of the House committee
on the District of Columbia in the last
Congress
Business is improving very RAPIDLY in
West Virginia" continued Mr.. Huling 81
notice 1t more especially in my own line of
course. We ara selling more lumber and
are getting better prices for it. This is
partly due to the tariff and to the general
growth of prosperity throughout the coun-
try. The Improvement in business condi-
lions has caused a demand for lumber and
a brisker movement in all branches of the
trade.
Il think the whole country will go ahead
now upon steady and healthy growth of
business. Men are being put to work. and
those who have been to work are getting
better wages and fuller time. In the Kama
wha Valley and New River coal fields, in
West Virginia, the coal strike Is hampering
matters somewhat. About 80 per cent Of
the miners are on strike and idle. The
other 20 per cent are working full time and
at increased wages.
I'm the mines which are at work the
operators granted the men the increases de-
mended. and they are running full time
and getting more for their coal. Strenuous
efforts are being made by the idle miners
TO get the other fellows out on strike, and
they may be successful yet II is hard
work for the aSitators. however, because
the men who are at work are confronted
by the fact that their first duty Is to their
families. and as long as they are Getting
what they ask 1t is pretty hard to make up
their minds to go out on a sympathy

CAREER OF THE PORTLAND.
Notable History of the Steamer .Jus,
Back From AIaska

BACK FROM Alaska,
The permission granted by the Navy De-
partment for the docking of the Alaskan
steamer Portland in the government dock
III Seattle brings to the minds of treasury
oiilclals a story of much interest. The
Portland is now one of the most famous
vessels in the world having been one of
the first to bring down millions of dollars
In nuggets from the Klondike country and
many happy miners. The news which she
nrst brought in had great deal to do with
the excitement which has since become
universal.
In 1888 the Portland was as we'll known
as she is today, but then it was in another
direction. She then became notorious as
tory is worth reading
The Portland was built at Bath, Me-. in
1883. for use during Haytien revolt. She
Is OF l,os9 tons gross. The Haytiens didn't
tened the Haytien Republic, and went un-
DER this name for years. She was finally
bought by a packing company in San Fran
cisco Tor running to and from the COM
pany'S canneries In Alaska. The next
thing heard of her she was sold to the Mer-
chants transportation Company of Port
land, and 1t was supposed that she was
still engaged in legitimate traffic. In a
snort time the government officials ascer-
tanned that an immense amount of opium
was being struggled into Portland 1t was
not known how this was being done. hut
shrewd special agents were put to work
and they began to suspect the Haytien Re-
public. The result of their suspicious were
wholesale arrests of prominent people, over
forty being indicted. Among these were
the owners of the steamer, the collector Of
customs and an eX-treasury agent The
conspiracy was found to be Wholesale and
the arrests created profound sensations on
the Pacific coast.
1t was ascertained before the trials of the
Offenders had been concluded that the on
erations of the Haytien Republic had lost
the government over 100000 in duties on
opium. The Haytien Republic was fitted
up with secret compartments and the
opium was smuggled in these The owners
of the vessel at the time of the discovery
owed $4,000 on her. They had bought her
for $4,000, and had paid $32, 1000.
The vessel was libeled by the government
and sold at a marshal's SALE She was bid
in for $4,000 by her present owners, who
have since kept her at legitimate work in
Alaskan trade.
The owners knew that the reputation of
the vessel would be prejudicial to her, and
they made application to the Treasury De-
partment to be allowed to change her
name. They stated in their application.
which is on flenat the treasury. that the
illegal acts of the vessel had placed her in
such bad repute that she would be looked
upon with suspicion at every port This
suspicion they said, would cause annoy-
ance in searches ana delay and expense.
The treasury fully consented to change
of name, and the Haytien Republic was
christened the Portland. She was repaired
refitted and re-engaged in business in Alas
kan waters. ,
