Lover Flour Rate.

Portland, July 26.--From Pacific Coast
points to the Orient, on August Is, the
rate on -four will be 81 ton instead Of
IS. This means that tramp steamers
will be kept out OF the field, shippers
promising to give all Of their business to
the regular liners.
Negotiations were completed last night
in Seattle and all lines from San Fran
cisco to the Puget sound agreed to the
rate proposed by the Portland Asiatic
Line, It was argued that unless the rate
be reduced tramp steamers would invade
the field TO such an extent as TO leave
the regular liners run on light cargoes
The first steamer to leave Portland un.
der the new arrangement will be the
Nicomedia, which. according to a dis
patch received by the local Office Of the
company this morning, left Hong Kong
for Portland July 24-She is due to ar
rive here shortly before the middle of
August.
Exporters say that the -four market
is showing some improvement in the Or
lent, and they look for good deal of
business in Northern China in the near
future.

Join in Quest of Girls Who
Mysteriously Disappeared
Special Dispatch to The Call.

TACOMA, Feb. S-Five hundred
school boys are to-day engaged in
searching the district of Vancouver ISL
and, between Southfield and Nanaimo,
for the Rogers and Jones girls, who
have not been seen since January 10.
The girls wandered away from school
al Nanaimo and a thorough search has
so far failed to reveal their where
abouts. Searchers to-day were formed
into squads of six under a careful
leader.
Mrs. Walker, a clairvoyant Of Van
couver, claims to have learned, while in
a trance, that an old Englishman, liv-
ing with an Indian. in hut four miles
from a railroad track near Ladysmith.
on the afternoon of January 10, while
returning from Nanaimo, came across
the girls on the railroad track and took
them home. She says both children are
i'll, particularly the youngest.
John r. Packard of Alberni writes
the chief Of police of Nanaimo describ-
ing another spot where he believes the
children will be found. The searchers
are to-day trying to locate this spot,
though Packard gives no reason for his
belief

AGRICULTURAL
SOCIETY REPORT
HOld-Over Committee Deals
With Affairs of Association
and It's Financial Troubles
BLAME FOR SHORTAGE
Smallness of Legislatures
Appropriations, Say Solons,
Caused All the Difficulty
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 3.-The hold
over committee appointed at the last
session of the Legislature to investi-
gate the affairs Of the State sAgricul-
turaI Society reported to-day. The COM
mittee goes into details as to the
causes that led to the society's finan-
cial difficulties and holds that they
were brought about by insufficient ap-
propriations of the Legislature, politi-
cal interference in the appointment of
subordinates and improper methods of
conducting races and installing agri-
cultural exhibits. After recommending
that these evils be corrected, the COM
mittee goes on to say:
cember Is, 1903 with interest and salaries
charged to February, 1904, amounted to $50
1877 50. Credits: Cash balance $3.50 81: bank
balance $3.50 81; State appropriation SIS. 900.
ss1 81.
In addition to the above Indebtedness there
an indebtedness of S1110 due the Califor-
MIA State Bank and S639 80 interest to July /,
to futurity stakes and unpaid bills. amounting
in the aggregate to $9910 81. making a total
indebtedness on July 1. 1904, of $50. 292 q
Between July l. 1904 and January l. 1905.
a further indebtedness of $9444 10 was created
by reason of damage to the pavilion from
storms and destruction of fences and buildings
on the fair grounds, making total indebted
ness on January l. 1905, of $99 1876 %
The committee is of the unanimous opinion
that If this Legislature desires to continue the
existence of the State Agricultural Society and
carry on yearly exhibit OF its resources as
is contemplated by the act creating said So
ciety IL should appropriate sufficient money
therefor and in an amount not less than
$3.50 600
