WHEAT TONNAGE
GROWS SITTER
IMPROVED PRICES IN EUROPEAN
MARKETS CREATE DEMAND
FOR VESSELS.

In the recent freight circular issued
by the Portland office of Frank Water
house & Co. both the lumber and grain
rates are quoted as having an upward
tendency, with the outlook for a con-
siderable rise. In the circular, the
company state their views as follows:
Since our last advices the freight
market has streng: hened very consid
erably, particularly for tonnage for
wheat loading. Improved prices in the
European markets have created brisk
demand for sailing vessels and union
rates are being freely paid. Up to the
present time no steamers have been
fixed for United Kingdom business
and exporters do not expect to take
up much of this class of tonnage For
small vessels strictly October No
vember loading CSC Sd has been paid.
Many owners are holding for 3Os
In consequence of the demands for
sailing vessels. we expect to see im,-
proved rates for lumber voyages, but
steamers continue to be neglected, in
View of the excessive amount of ton
mage available A number of steamers
have left Pacific ports in ballast for
Newcastle, n. S. W., most of them
chartered to return with coal. There
is not much inquiry for the China and
Japan ports at the moment, but we
look for an Improvement when wheat
begins to move more freely

WILL HAVE ONLY
ONE BIG FLEET
EVANS COMMAND WILL NOT BE
DIVIDED BY THE
PRESIDENT.

WASHINGTON, Sept Tt is au-
thoritatively stated at the navy de-
partment that President Roosevelt
does not contemplate the creation Of
two battleship fleets. Nor does Secre
tary Metcalf, nor even the general
board which is supposed to represent
the extreme views in naval develop
ment, favor either the division of the
present magnificent fleet under Admir-
al Evans command or the creation of
be a formidable American navy in both
oceans-the Atlantic and Pacific.
On the contrary, it is regarded at
the navy department as better policy
to maintain one perfectly equipped,
well-drilled fleet, free to move at will
to any part of the globe at short notice
and the present plans contemplate the
Increase of the strength of the eX
listing Atlantic fleet from IS to 2S
battleships. This will afford a com
mard as large as can be properly di-
rected by any one officer and it will
moreover about mark the capacity of
ports and drydocks in any particular
section of the world.
So it is asserted positively at the
department that there is not the least
intention of keeping the battleships
which will go to The Pacific perma-
nently in those waters. That fleet, it
is added, will surely return to the At
lantic seaboard after it has fulfilled its
mission and demonstrated the FEAST
billy of transferring such a vast ma
val force between oceans.
Canal Will Solve Problem.
1t is suggested at the navy depart
ment that before the gathering of a
similar number of naval vessels in
the Pacific becomes necessary the
! problem will be solved by the compile
| ton of the Panama canal. 1t is
| pointed out at the department that,
ever. were the president or the depart
, were so disposed, it would be impos-
sible for them to provide for another
such fleet as Admiral Evans present
command without congressional au-
thority.
1t is stated at the navy depart
ment that, beyond his determination
to have the Atlantic fleet return to it's
home station, Mr.. Roosevelt has not
decided how he fleet shall return to
the east The general board and Al
miral Evans, with his staff, have pre-
pared plans and full itinerary to re-
turn by way of the Straits of Magel-
Ian or by the Good Hope route.
MetcaIf on Way North.
Secretary Metcalf left San Francis
co for Bremerton naval station on
Puget sound, and after he has com
pleted the examination of that station,
and ascertained how many of the bat
tieships can conveniently be accommo-
dated there, he will return 20 Wash
ington and begin the preparation of
his annual report, devoting special at
tention to the problem of the new ma
val construction to be recommended
to congress at the approaching session.
The undertaking of at least two bat
tleships will be suggested.

THE ROMANCE
OF A BISHOP
Love Story Of the Stun
Worker Of London
HE is SOON TO VISIT AMERICA
His Lady Love, Who Had Refused an
Earle for Him, Tilted Him When
the Wedding Day Drew Near.
Working for the Masses,

LONDON, August 24.-America is
about to receive visit from most
interesting character in the person
of the bishop of London, Rev. DR.. A.
F. w Ingram, who is to leave Eng
land next week to present to the old
Bruton parish church at Williams
burg, Va, the second oldest church
in America, the Bible King Edward
has given it in connection with the
jamestown tercentenary celebration
The high position occupied by Bish-
OPP Ingram in the church world is suf-
ficient in itself to attract attention.
To be a bishop, at a comparatively
early age, of the worlds metropolis,
in direct line of succession to the arch
bishropric of Canterbury, the highest
ecclesiastical honor in Great Brit
ian's gift, with riches and worldly pow
er at his command, is in itself no
small distinction.
But from the human interest point
of view the romance of the youthful
bishops life is of far more interest
than the story of his career in the
church.
1t was two years ago that the bish-
ops romance came to a focus, when
it. was announced that Lady Alvica
Duncombe, the youngest of the four
famous beauties, daughters of the
Earl of Fayershaw, was to become
his bride. All London was startled.
The twenty-four. Her delicate charm
has been fostered in an environment
of softest luxury. The man she had
chosen was known as the "slum
bishop" and dwelt among the masses
in the most laborious diocese in Eng
land 1t would mean self immola-
ton, her friends said.
But the affair was a love match.
Lady Alvica, always of a serious cast
of thought, entered heart and soul
into the bishops plans. But three
months after the engagement was an
nounced it was abruptly broken off.
Whether her courage faltered or
whatever interfered none dared to
ask. But with the wedding day al
ready in view, the beauty, who had
declined an Earl for his sake, refused
to marry her churchman lover.
The bishop, stunned by the blow
which had crumbled his happiness,
went abroad He returned a changed
man. He loved and lost Only his
work for the masses remained for
him. Since then he has been known
as the working bishop" his youth
full buoyancy gone but his face and
bearing spirited and ennobled by his
steady devotion to his life work

ed month hence when a half dozen
men here will go to the farms to take
desirable positions
These will go as superintendents,
and the salary is inviting.
Police Officers Willis and West
brook, two of the best men on the
Americas force, will go to Amsterdam
early in October where, it is said, they
have already accepted positions.
Besides these two, several exper-
fenced farmers near Americas, who
understand intensive agriculture and
the management of labor, have also
accepted positions ranging from SIS
per month up, besides a big bonus
promised by the company.
This bonus" is for any excess
crop made over the average, and Of
ten amounts to even more than the
annual salary earned.
Already there are a half dozen
Americas people thus employed by
the tobacco people at good salaries,
and all are well pleased. The COM
pany furnishes a residence, free of
cost, to each family and living ex-

The country is very similar to this;
high, rolling, and healthful.
Tobacco culture there is carried on

has millions of capital and its out

Backache is only a simple thing at

But when you know it's from the

That serious kidney troubles fol-

You will gladly profit by the fol-

'Tis the statement of an Americas
citizen:
J. NJ. Oliver, wagon painter, with
shop on Cotton avenue and Jefferson
streets, Americas, Ca, and living on
the outskirts of Americas, has used
Doan's Kidney Pills and states his
opinion of them as follows He says,
"They are a fine remedy. I used them
them very ache and can recommend
them very highly. They did for me
what everything else failed to do
They drove the backache out of my
back and relieved me of misery, from
which 1 had been suffering for a long
time. The trouble was a constant
heavy ache right across the small of
my back, and disorder of the kid
neys. The secretions were in bad
condition, being dark, full of msedi-
ment and irregular. Medicines for
internal use failed to help IL and so
did liniments. ] read of how others
had been cured by Doan's Kidney
Pills, and deciding to try them got
a box. Since taking them the pain
has left my back, the kidneys are
working normally, the secretions are
in a natural condition and l feel bet

Stripes Keep in Fashion.

Stripes will undoubtedly remain in
fashion during the Fall months. Some
OF the eraly autumn suits are made of
narrow and irregular stripes, which
are the very newest
Mother-of-pearl cuff links are
very much prettier to wear with
summer shirtwaists than gold plated
ones or even sterling silver. They
are quite inexpensive, and a very
smart pair can be bought for a dol
lar.
Biscuit colored gloves with beige
points, is the latest thing for the
Partisan. The price of white gloves
is greately reduced, which is evident
that their popularity is over.
Imported parasols seen are of shir-
red taffeta, Pompadour silks in tuck
ed effects, duchess and Chantilly
lace, and black and white combina-
tions.
Long full capes for evening wear
are made of French broadcloth, in
white, tan, chamois, pink, gray, light
blue, lavender, brown and black. The
collar and sleeves are handsomely
embroidered.
Linen suits in white and other col
ors made hip length, have detachable
satin collar and cuffs trimed with
soutache braid.
A metal belt shows interlocked
rings with tiny enameled flower in
the center of each. The clasp is form
ed by the stem and foliage of a single
flower.
A modish raincoat is of red silk
rubber, the hood being lined with
red and white plaid silk. On the cuffs,
pockets and hood are shaped hands
piped with white silk.
Laces dyed to match the costume is
fad that will undoubtedly remain in
favor for time. All the heavy variet-
les of lace are used, but the Valen-
ciennes is now taking the lead.
All the new Fall suits are trimmed
with buttons. The coats are fastened
double are single breasted with
them. and many have side Sits in the
back. decorated with half a dozen
rows of buttons. These buttons are
of the same material as the suit or of
