LARGE VESSELS BEING BUILT ON
ATLANTIC COAST FOR
NJ. p. AND G. N.
A FREIGHT AND PASSENGER SERVICE
Ply for Trade Between Portland and
Southern California Points-New ,
Ships 500 Feet Long;
SO Feet Wide.

Philadelphia. Pa.-The veil of Sc
crecy which for several months has
concealed the name of the company
for which the Cramp Ship Building &
Dry Dock company is building two big
vessels was lifted Monday when it be-
came known that the contract was
given by the Spokane, Portland & Sc
attic Railway company.
Plans provide for the vessels to
come into Portland harbor to load and
unload freight. They will carry both
freight and passengers. 1t is under.
stood that passengers will be handled
between Astoria and California by
water and between Portland and AS
toria by rail. The boats are designed
for speed. 1t is expected they will
save several hours on the run between
Astoria and San Francisco. Train SER
vice will save an additional two hours
between Portland and Astoria.
The railroad has a trackage of more
than 500 miles running between Van
couver, Wash, and Astoria, Ore, and
the new ships will be placed in the
Pacific coast trade to work in har-
mony with that road. The ships are
500 feet long, 60 feet nodded depth
and "a feet six inches deep.

LUMBER AND WOODWORKING.

The Kellogg Lumber Co. has ex~
pended $25O,O 600 on it's new sawmill at
Entiat, and will oon have the new
plant in operation. The daily capacity
is 100000 feet.
The regular monthly meeting Of the
West Coast Lumber Manufacturers as
ISOLATION was held at Raymond Sat
urday. 1t seemed to be the consensus
of opinion that at present more lum-
Der was being manufactured than Is
being sold and that curtailment is
needed within the next 80 or go days.
A company is being organized at Pc
Ell and will begin at once the erection
of a brick building to cost 10000, for
the manufacture of broom handles,
boxes of all descriptions and all small
articles that are made from wood. The
officers are: James p. Weter Of Sc

GRAIN AND MILLING NEWS.

The Farmers Union Warehouse Co.
at Cotton has declared an annual divi-
dend of 20 per cent. Fred Ref con-
.tfnues as manager.
N. H. Cottrell has purchased a large
two-story stone building at Boise,
Idaho, and will make improvements,
buy machinery and install a -four and
feed mill.
s. A. McGaw, general manager of
the Western Canada Flour Mills Co.,
announces that the 800 barrel mill of
the company at Calgary, Alta, will be
increased to 1900 barrels.
According to present indications
and judging by returns of fall grain
harvested thus far, Odessa is going to
receive and ship the largest amount of
grain in it's history, taking into con-
sideration the size of it's present terri
tory, and the yield is expected to sur
pass even that of Odessa's bumper
year, 1907.
The Mansfield Elevator & Ware
house Co., which is a cooperative or
ganization of farmers, is installing a
midget flour mill in it's warehouse at
Mansfield. The mill has a capacity of
25 barrels of flour each "a hours. 1t
will cost $4,000. The Big Bend and
Waterville farmers are figuring on the
same plan of making flour, and Almira
farmers now have a miniature mill in
operation.
The state public service commission
held a ten-hour session at Walla Walla
last week, inquiring into the general
methods of handling grain shipments
from this section and hearing charges
of short weights, overcharges and in
adequate service brought against the
warehousemen. One of his conclusions
was that it probably would be neces-
sary to require the warehousemen to
mail the. shipper a copy of his request
to the railroad company for cars.

SPOKANE WEEKLY REPORT.

The month opens with very favora-
BILE business conditions generally, and
especially in this section. The only
deterrent effect upon trade for the
country as a whole is the unsettled
conditions due to tariff revision and
currency reform, but both of these
problems promise to be solved in a
few weeks. Ordinarily the latter part
of July and the month of August con-
stitute the period of midsummer quiet,
hut a late season, together with boun-
tiful crops, is maintaining an excep-
tional activity in trade operations
throughout this period, and augurs
we'll for a good fall and winter bust
hess.
The weather continues favorable for
securing the large wheat and other
crops of the Inland Empire section.
The lumber trade is comparatively
quiet but with every indication of an
early resumption this fall.
Collections generally are slow, but
this is a normal condition for the
before-harvest period. Mining and
other industries are operating up to
normal proportions for this season of
the year and labor is well employed.
In grocery and produce lines trade
is active with several changes in quo.
tations noted. There have been ad.
vances in canned peas, butter, eggs,
chickens, pork, lard, hams, bacon,
lemons and cabbage, while declines
are noted in corn meal, rolled oats,
spring lamb, blackberries, loganber'
ries, %currants, potatoes, tomatoes, dry
onions, wheat, timothy, wheat hay and
oats.

cAsTRo's RETURN

Attitude of America Toward UnweI.
come Exile Is Poser for
Vim. J. Bryan.

Washington.-The unexpected ap-
pearance in Venezuela of General CT
priano Castro to take personal COM
mand of the Revolutionary forces con-
fronts the state department with a
grave problem. Secretary Bryan de-
clines to say what would be the atti.
tude of the United States toward the
presence of the unwelcome exile in the
land from which he was banished five
years ago.
The Taft administration not only
approved of Castro's exile from Vene-
zuela, but sought by every means, al
though without success, to prevent him
from landing in this country last win
ter. Officials realize that Castro's per-
sonal direction of the insurrection will
make the movement far more formid-
able.
The steamer Des Moines left Bruins
wick, Ga, Monday. for La Guaira, ex-
pecting to reach that port Friday.

ENGLAND GETS BUSY
MAY ESTABLISH THEIR GREAT
NAVAL BASE IN THE BERMU-
DA ISLANDS.
TO SAFEGUARD PANAMA BUSINESS
Other Countries May Follow Suit
Monroe Doctrine Endangered
Japan Would Dominate on
the Pacific Ocean.

Washington.-Keen interest has
e aroused here by a report, reach
ing the state department that Great
Britain is contemplating establishing
a great naval base in the Bermuda
islands. 1t is stated authoritatively
that the British government has made
inquiry concerning the plans of the
United States for the protection of the
Panama canal routes and it has been
suggested that this indicates an inten-
ton to safeguard British shipping
through the isthmus, as is done in the
Mediterranean.
Officials realize that the problem
raised is a tremendous one, involving
as 1t may the life of the Monroe doc
trine and marking perhaps a complete
revolution in foreign naval policy in
the western hemisphere. 1t is expect
ed that if Great Britain changes her
naval policy in American-Atlantic wa
tiers other European nations probably
will follow suit. Officials likewise
realize that with the opening of the
canal the United States must contend
with Japan for the domination of the
Pacific.
Gave Up Old Stations.
The British navy abandoned it's ma
val stations Of this continent about 10
years ago, when the United States
gave up the idea of construction of the
N~icaraguan canal and set about dig
oip r tho hfr .uy0toruvou oo~o,1 Do.o-.o
If Great Britain undertakes to es-
tablish herself in Atlantic waters the
proposed Bermuda station near Ham
ilton would occupy a formidable posi-
ton.
By way of looking out for future
contingencies at the Pacific terminal
of the Panama canal the British claim
ownership of Clipperton island, proba-
bly, the finest deep-water harbor in
that part of the Pacific ocean.
Germany covets Island.
While Great Britain is thus assert
ing herself, officials here remember
how long Germany has looked with
wistful eyes at the Danish West In
dian island of st. Thomas, which oc-
jcupies a strong strategic position in
relation to the Panama CANAL Ameri-
"a naval strategists always have ia
vored the acquisition by the United
States of the Danish possessions,
which Germany would have taken
over years ago but for American OBJ
lection.
Then there is the Dutch island of
Curacao, where the Germans made
themselves very much at home during
the blockade of the Venezuelan ports
by Germany, England and Italy in
1903. Diplomatists at the state depart
ment, as well as naval ~strategists, re-
alize that the determination of the fu-
ture ownership of these islands is one
of the important questions confronting
the United States.

source of supply. If you will be alb
solutely fair in the test we are con-
yinced you will discover in the great
majority of cases that the apparent
superiority of the mail order house is
a rank delusion.
1t costs the mail order houses a
third more to do business. They are
in business to make money and 80 per
cent of the merchandise they sell has
a profit added to it greater than the
profit your local dealer gets. Is il
logical, therefore, to believe them
lower on every item listed in theil
catalogs?

FAST GAME PROMISED

Tonight the big Bemidg' basket
ball team will clash with the fastest
basket ball team that has ever repre-
sented Superior, Wis. The game will
be played in the roller rink. Seat
ing arrangements have been made to
handl the crowd and as the hall is
large there is room for over 800 peo-
pie. The stage will be used to seat
the "Hoodoo" band that will enter
tain both the team and the audience
during the entire forty minutes of
play.
The Superior team arrived this
afternoon on the Great Northern and
are prepared to give Bemidji a game
that they will remember for some
time. The local boys feel confident
of winning as the visitors are handi-
capped by the large hall and will
not be able to play as strong game
the first night as they will Friday.
Prof. Earl Carson will referee the en-
tire game and the big Bemidg' line
up will be as follows: Brandon and
Bell, forwards, Peck and Jacobson,
guards; AL Neuman, center. To bring
the Superior Y. NJ e. A. team to Be-
midi meant an expense of about 800
