The schooner Fearless is complet- ing a cargo for Shanghai, and will be followed by the Mindoro. which sailed from San Pedro for Portland last Thurs day. This fleet has a combined carry ing capacity of about 45OO,000 feet, and the same firm which has these vessels under charter will load the Quito for Manila about the middle of the month with 2,500,000 feet of lumber. making a total of 1000 900 feet nearly all of which will be cleared within the month by one firm. The British bark Adderly, under charter to T. M. Stevens & Co.,, Is com pleting her lumber cargo at Rainer. Until this year. the greater part Of the foreign lumber business has been handled by foreign vessels, but the numerous large American schooners that have been built within the past few months are cutting into the trade, and the Adderly and the Sussex are the first British vessels that have loaded here for a foreign port in several months.
 The lumber fleet now en route and en- listed for Portland loading numbers four teen vessels, with a capacity of over 10. .000, 900 feet. and all of the vessels will be due before the end of the year.

rNprcTMrNr NOT SUSTAINED.

In the current issue of Harper's Mag azine, Mir. Walter Hough tells of finding in Arizona pile of broken human bones, had hot been buried with any care at all, but simply thrown into hole and covered up." He is sure the bones were clean when they were buried, and asserts that the marks of the implements used an cracking the bones are stili to be seen. From these circumstances MT. Hough nraws the conclusion that "<his ossuary ss the record of a cannibal feast. and its discovery is interesting to science. as being the first material proof of cannibal- ism among our North American ln- iians."
 We should not have been surprised at the deductions of this explorer. for they often take much for granted, put we are surprised to find The New York Times ssying:
 Now, it is impossible even to suspect that MT. Hough, occupying the position he does, is not perfectly well aware that when the white man Hrst came to this country he found cannibalism everywhere praQf1ced to a greater or less extent, and Ina, the writings or all the early explor- CTS and ot many or the later ones. con- z tains innumerabie reterences to It.
 To read the language of Mr. Hough and of The Times. one would conclude that the American Indians were all cannibals. and human flesh was part of their regu- lar menu. With due respect for these au- thorities We assert that hardly anything
 h0 he Indians were often hard pressed for food, and they ate many things which are not consideeed just proper for human diet, but cannibals they certainly were not. That an Indian would sometimes eat a portion of the flesh of a slain enemy Is doubtless true. It was one of their superstitions that to eat of the flesh of an enemy would make them strong and brave. It was not eaten as food but as part of their religious ceremonies, or in obedience to the savage instincts which led them to believe that this act would strengthen their hearts and make them fearless and successful in battle.
 The finding of human bones which bore the appearance of having been  cleaned and crushed before burial will strike most persons as being very far from material proof" that the red men of America were cannibals. And we can assure The Times that "the writings of 4he early explorers would hardly pass in a court of justice in any civilized country. These early explorers mixed srufh and fable to such an extent that no one can now tell where truth ends and fable begins, or vice versa. Even after settlements were made and the whites began to. write history" matters were hut little better. for much of that history was based on tradition, superstition, hearsay and almost everything else but facts.
 The indictment filed by MT. Hough and The New York Times is not sustained.
