BOATS FOR UPPER RIVER.
Many Plans Are Now Being Laid to
Handle River Traffic.

Plans are maturing for the building
up of a number of steamboats, for
service on the upper Columbia river
between the portage railroad and
Lewiston. Joseph Supple has been
asked to quote prices for the building
of light-draft boats, Mr.. Supple said
to the Oregon Daily journal:
indications are that contracts will
soon be let for the building of a num-
Der of boats to ply on the upper Co.
lumbia river. 1t will be possible
to have them ready for service by
early sprnig, which is i'm time to bring
the major portion of the grain crop
10 the portage road from the territory
of the upper Columbia and Snake
river valleys. In fact. the river will
be at a better boating stage than than
at any other season of the year"
Mr. Supple says he will build any
boats contracted for at Portland and
ship them in knocked down form to
Cello. He has built and shipped
number of -wheelers and propel-
lers in this manner for service in
Alaskan waters.

Biggest SawmilI in United States.

Col. Allen Miller, state immigra-
ton commissioner, was an arrival in
the city yesterday from Kootenai
county, where he has been for the
past few weeks. Col. Miller says that
the town of Standpoint is rapidly
growing, and they claim to have the
biggest sawmill in the United States,
it being owned by the Humbird COM
pany and having a capacity of 500, 900
feet of lumber per day. and working
night and day.
He states that d. C. Corbin now
has a large crew of men at work on
the branch line of the Canadian Pa
cific leading into Spokane from the
main line. At the present time they
are working at a point near Bonner's
Ferry, and he is now trying to get
enough men to go to work and erect
large bridge at that point. but
owing to the great demand for help
all over the country at the present
time, they are experiencing great diff
ficulty in securing them.-Lewiston

Prosperous Powder Xnlley.

j. o. Maxwell, one of the most ex-

in Powder valley, who was in the city
yesterday stated that the crops OF
hay, oats and barley were not only
large, perhaps above the average, but
exceptionally good in quality and ho
did not know of a farmer who would
not make good money this season. All
this, in spite Of the fact that the sum-
mer had been dry, there was a very
great shortage in the snow crop last
winter, so that irrigation this year has
been limited and dry farming forced
upon the ranchers. even where dry

OPENING OF THE STORTHING.
VIII Take Further. Action in Regard
to Dissolution.

Christiania, Norway. Aug. 21.-The
people of Norway are looking for
ward with great interest to the action
which the storthing will take, which
was opened today for probably the
most important session it ever held.
Notwithstanding the general excite
ment over the dissolution of the
and dethronement Of King Oscar, so
overwhelmingly indorsed at the re-
cent plebiscite. the opening of the
Storthing was not accompanied by
any breach of order. Everything
passed off smoothly and in perfect
order. An enormous crowd was as
sembled in front of the parliament
building and cheered the deputies as
they arrived before the opening of
the session.
IL is expected that the storthing will
repeat the request that the riksdag
declared the riksakt imperative and
the union dissolved. The storthing
will also express willingness to ne
gotiate concerning the details of the
dissolution. II is the earnest desire
of Norway to conclude the dissolu-
tion amicably.

COINS ADVANCING IN PRICE.
Lewis and Clark Souvenir of 1904
Now Brings S3-SOme of the 1905
Issue Still Left,

Issue Still Left.
The gold dollar souvenir coins of
the Lewis and Clark exposition are
already commanding a premium over
the price at which they were origin
ally sold by the exposition, which is a
unique fact in souvenir coin history.
This coin is novelty compared with
other issues of the United States
bearing a head on both diverse and
reverse. 1t was produced at the
Philadelphia mint.
The first coinage, dated 1904, con-
sisted of $4,000 pieces, which were de-
livered to the Exposition last Septem-
ber They were placed on sale at 50
each, and about 10000 were sold up
to February, 1905, at which time the
remainder, 5000 were sent to the
san Francisco mint and melted up.
Ten thousand pieces of similar design,
but bearing date of 1905, were struck
later at the Philadelphia mint Most
of the 10000 19O4's were sold by mail
to collectors; they have become wide
ly scattered, many going to foreign
countries.
The wise" collector who, actuated
by precedent, deferred purchasing a
1904 when they were obtainable, be-
lieving that he could purchase one
later at a depreciated price, now dis
covers that those bearing that date are
not easily obtainable, and the few in
the hands Of coin dealers command So
each. Dealers had no reason to an
ticipate a scarcity, and purchased only
for immediate demands as souvenir
coins have not proved a profitable
venture for them. The dollars dated
1905 continue to be sold by the expo
sition at 50 each.

CORTELYOU FOR TREASURER.
Cabinet Changes Slated to Take Place
Soon

E9OObs
That George B. Cortelyou postmas-
ter general, will succeed L. NJ. Shaw
as secretary of the treasury, when the
latter voluntarily retires newt Febru-
airy if he will accept, is the opinion
of those high in official authority in
Washington.
II was said yesterday that the offer
had already been made informally
and that Mr.. Cortelyou had shown
some hesitation about accepting, pre-
ferring the work in the postoffice de-
partment.
Some unfavorable comment was
heard in official circles yesterday
over the campaign inaugurated in In
diana in behalf Of Hugh H. Hanna
for the treasury portfolio. As soon
as the dispatches announced that his
name had been favorably mentioned
here, those who know Mr. Hanna's s
fine sense of propriety realized that
the movement was without his author
ity,
Heretofore. presidents have select
ed their cabinet officers without sug-
gestion from political organizations,
hence the general surprise here at the
Hoosier innovation.
II Mr.. Cortelyou goes to the head
of the treasury department It is mem
toned as one of the possibilities that
Harry 5. New Of Indianapolis, who en-
joys the presidents confidence in a
high degree, will be offered the place
as postmaster general.

COMPROMISE ON EXCLUSION.
Trans Mississippi Congress Ends Its
Iabors In Portland.

The Trans Mississippi Congress
which was in session in Portland all
last week, adjourned Saturday night
after passing a compromise resolu-
ton on Chinese exclusion.
The California delegation made a
hard fight for n resolution favoring
the rigid enforcement of the present
exclusion law, with no excuses nor
explanations whatever, but the con-
vention agreed upon compromise
which was bitterly opposed by Cali
fornia.
The resolution as passed is as fol-
lows:
"Our foreign trade with China is
at present suspended and unable to
discharge its cargoes at Chinese ports
and Hongkong because of the refusal
OF the Chinese to handle American
products. This unsatisfactory state
of affairs is understood to have been
produced by the improper treatment
to which the privileged classes OF
China have been subjected in the ad-
ministration of our laws prohibiting
the admission of Chinese laborers to
the United States.
There are now seeking admission
to our country large numbers OF per-
sons from Europe, Asia and Africa,
many OF whom are undesirable and
cannot be admitted without endan-
gering the high standards Of Ameri-

WANT CHINESE IN HAWAII.
Rich Planters Offer TO Give a Bond
for Every One Admitted.

A private letter to the East Ore
gonian from Honolulu says the rich
planters of the islands desire the ad-
mission of from $4,000 to $4,000 Chi
nese coolies for a period of from five
to 10 years, the planters offering to
give a personal bond of $1,000 per
head for each Chinaman admitted.
The plan is to have the Chinese re-
turn to China, not in a body on one
date, but in installments, a few at
time, so the islands would always be
supplied with coolie labor and yet
with restriction upon Chinese to a
limited degree.
There is also strong demand
among the merchants, laborers and
small business men for the continu-
ance of the exclusion act and the most
rigid enforcement OF 1t, as theChi-
nese immigration drives out white
men and builds up the Chinese mer-
chants.
