TOLD ALL ABOUT ARIZONA
Interesting Lecture Delivered
by Rev. l.. j. Trumbnll.

Rev. l.. J. Trumbull gave an inter
esttng lecture on the territory OF
Arizona at the Baptist church last
night. Rev. Trumbull has recently re-
turned from Arizona. where he took
his daughter for the beniht OF her
health. Mrs. Trumbull had sent a
number OF curious TO her friends here
and these were used TO good advantage
In the lecture. Rev. Trumbull recon-
mended the Arizona climate for those
affected with pulmonary trouble. His
daughter, Miss Rose has improved
there. The open air and hot sun is the
treatment. the temperature ranging
from 40 TO 116 during Rev. Trumbull's
stay, being at times as hot as 1l2 at
midnight. The white population the
lecturer found to be very intelligent
class made up mostly OF people who
have gone there for their health.
Mexicans and Indians compose the
native population. Only about one
tenth Of the area OF the territory Is
tillable, stock-ralsing and mining being
the principal industries. Phoenix, the
capital, being in the centre Of mining
and stock-raising district Is very
town. The lecture was
illustrated with. indian rlics, cactus,
fruits. etc. and was well received.
Rev. Trumbull visited Rev. Scott in
who twenty years ago was
chaplain at Fort Stevens. He now has
a large ranch near Phoenix.

LUMBER RATES ARE RAISED
Increase Will Drive Local Traf.
fic to Water Route.

General Agent Mayo, Of the A. & c..
yesterday received notice that there
had been material increase in the
lumber and shook rate between Port
land and California points. The in
crease on lumber about SO per cent
and on box shocks about 25 per cent.
This increase is in keeping with the
determination of the Southern Pacific
to protect California box manufactur-
ers against the competition Of northern
millmen.
The effect of the increase viii be to
ruin the trade of Astoria mill men so
far as shipments by rail are concerned,
and force all the traffic to the water
route.
When the Southern Pacific recently
made similar advances in rates there
was some talk locally of an independ-
ent steamer line between Astoria and
California points, and 1t is not improb7
able that the agitation viii now be re-
vived.

SIGHTED NO wREcKAGE.

The steamship Columbia arrived yes
terday from San Francisco. Her arri-
val had been anxiously awaited. as II
was thought she might have picked up
some OF the members Of the crew Of the
Inflated South Portland. Just as the
Columbia was leaving her dock In San
Francisco, Captain Dorm was told OF
the accident to the South Portland, al
though hts information was meager.
On the trip up the coast Dorm kept In
much closer 10 shore than Is customary,
In the hope that he might sight some
OF the unfortunate missing ones. Fog
hung thickly over the ocean and II was
impossible TO see for any distance. but
the steamship was run slowly and her
whistle frequently blown. Despite the
sharp lookout maintained. no sign OF
wreckage was sighted.
The steamer Alliance also arrived
yesterday from San Francisco via Coos
bay. At the time OF the wreck she was
at Coos bay. but saw no sign OF wreck
age ON the way up.

SANK WHEN HELP WAS NEAR

While the British ship Australia was
on her way down the river yesterday,
II. Earr. an able seaman, was drowned.
The body Of the unfortunate man waa
not recovered. Barr was 20 years oil
age, native Of Chicago. and Joined the
vessel at Portland.
1.-The drowning occurred while the ves-
eei was passing Pillar Rock. in tow Of
the Harvest Queen. Barr was engaged
In hooking In the catblock at the time,
and had been lowered down with a bow
line, which had been made fast around
his waist. He had finished the work
assigned TO him. unfastened the bow
line ard started 10 climp up 10 the FORE
castle head. but was told by the second
officer OF the vessel not TO do 40. The
mate had scarcely given the order for
the man 10 descend TO the cat-block
when he fell into the river. The Har-
vest Queen Immediately stopped, two
life buoys were thrown to the man and
several lines were also thrown In his
direction. He failed 10 grasp any OF
them. Meantime boat had been low
cred and. when II was within few feet
Of Barr. he threw up his hands and
sank from sight.
Since the departure Of the Australia
from Cardiff she has lost four men. On
the trip from Cardiff to Shanghai two
men were lost and on the passage from
Shanghai to Astoria third man was
drowned. The Australia is wheat lad
en- and IL bound for Cape Town. II is
supposed that the fourth unfortunate
member OF her crew became chilled In
the water yesterday. Had he remained
on the surface for half minute longer
his life would have been saved.

MRS. GRIMES
INDICATED
Judge Trenchard Awards Custo.
dy OF Children TO Seaside
Mother.
HER SONS CASE IS QUAsHED
Witnesses Testify TO Her Good
Character and Ability TO
Properly Care for
the Girls.

Sarah A. Grimes, Of seasiae, viii re-
tain custody OF her children, Bessie and
Cynthia. The petition of Mrs. Grimes
son, @. A. Grimes. that the children
be surrendered 10 the care Of the Boys
and Girls Aid society was heard yes
terday by County Judge Trenchard
who denied the request Of the plaintiff
and ordered the costs. $50. assessed to
him.
The petition filed by young Grimes
recited that his mother and father were
living apart; that his mother was q
woman OF notoriously bad character
and unfit to have custody Of the child
rem; that she had frequently given
evidence OF her inability to properly
care for the little girls. Grimes was
represented by John A. Smith, while
&C. Fulton appeared for the plaintiff.
Mr.. Smith, II appears, was retained
by Grimes half an hour before the case
came on TO be heard, and when he
went into court the young mans case
was In very poor shape. Mr.. Smith
decided TO ask for continuance, and,
in the eveat Of the refusal Of the court
to grant It, to move for non-suit.
Mrs. Grimes, the defendant, had an ar
ray Of IS witnesses. The case had at
tracted great interest at Seaside, where
all the parties concerned reside, and
feeling against young Grimes was
bitter.
Judge Trenchard refused to grant the
motion for continuance, and likewise
quashed the motion for a nongatt. The
court stated that Mrs. Grimes had
brought witnesses to the city and he
felt that she should not be put to any
unnecessary expense. The examina-
tion Of witnesses was therefore proceed
ed with. When the motion for nom
suit was denied Mr.. Smith left the
court room, followed by young Grimes
and the witnesses who were to appear
for him.
All the persons who testified yesterday
stated that Mrs. Grimes was a woman
Of good character: that she had cared
for her children at all times, and that
she was a proper person to have Gus
tody of them. Their testimony plainly
denoted the bitterness of the feeling
which exists at Seaside against the
son who brought the suit. Mrs. Grimes
testified that she knew nothing what
ever Of the case until she read Of 1t In
the newspapers. Judge Trenchard had
received several letters from prominent
residents OF Seaside, in which they Of
fered to come to town and testify to the,
good character of the mother. Mrs.
Grimes retains custody Of her little
girls.
Mr.. Smith said last evening that the
suit had been an ill-advised one, and
that, IL the son really wished to de-
prive his mother Of custody Of the
children, he should have induced the
father to sue for divorce and possession
of the girls.
From what could be learned yester-
day, the suit which ended so disas-
trously to the son was really an after
math to the case of Grimes VS. Grimes,
Affecting the ownership OF large
tract Of Seaside property, which was
recently settled in Mrs. Grimes favor.

Judging from its 35O-foot performance,

The really unhappy man whose un-

engaged in Il personal alteration he is
brooding over some fancicd slight and

There are some women similarly con

from the moment their eyes open in

can be so fostered that the petulancy
grows to be a malignant disease and
leads sometimes to the insane asylum.

easily find a remedy. They may not
