OLD FLEET PATCHED UP
WIndismmsrs Of All Kinds Are Being
overhaulcd and Pressed Into
Grain Carrying en- Pacific.

Vancouver, y. C.-With a bumper
crop Of barley estimated at 500, 900
tons, California grain men stand TO
lose immense sums owing to the lack
OF tonnage for handling the crops. The
u'uot carrying capacity Of all the
veescis in sight is between $4,000 20
G00J0 tons. The ships of England and
other nations. which formerly had am
pie space for the grain, have all their
tonnage taken months ahead and most
OF them are engaged elsewhere at
such high rates that they are not con.
sidering Pacific coast shipments.
The situation in California is q
sample of what pertains to the whole
coast, scarcity of tonnage will be felt
more acutely toward the end of the
year It is claimed.
Old sailing ships which had been
towed to the Oakland estuary as OBJ
solete in view of the growth OF ship
ments by steamers a few years ago
are being overhauled and patched up
to handle the grain IN the absence of
steamer tonnage. The estuary for
the last six years has become land
mark because of e presence of the
immense fleet Of ling ships which
had been moored there to rot
Among the boats are the Ferris s.
Thompson, Halcyon, Lurline, Reuce,
Charmer, California, Sonoma, Beulah,
Little Bonnie, Diamond Head, Balboa
and a host of others, consisting of
schooners, barks, brigantines and full
rugged ships
Most of the vessels have been strip
ped Of their boats and gear, but many
Of them have been kept up in a half
interested manner. 1t was believed
that the days Of the windjammer
were past and the whole feet could
have been bought for a song
Now even the worst OF the old hulks
is being hauled out and patched up to
make voyage or two, and some Of
them Will be unable to pass the in
spectors. The freight situation has
brought the windjammers to the fore
once more, and they are as much in
demand as they we're before steam
ships became general.-VancouveJ

FIRE ON TOURISTS
Chicagoan, Back From Europe,
Tells Of Treatment by Turks.
D. c. B. Gibson Says Order Was Civ
en- That Every Dog Of a chrls-
tIan In Town Should BE
Put to Death.

Chicago Charles B. Gibson,
1905 Morse avenue, just returned from
an 1s.000-mile journey through Greece,
Turkey and other European countries,
related some thrilling experiences he
had In the Balkan war. DR.. Gibson
was accompanied by DR. Edgar J..
Banks, formerly of the University Of
Chicago. Several times the two were
near the scene of fighting and at 9TH
er times had narrow escapes from Sc
rious injury, II not death.
"An encounter we had on July 16
remains most wildly in my memory"
said DR.. Gibson. July 16 is the Turks
Fourth of July.
Their constitution was adopted on
that day. On this particular morning
the order went forth that every dog
OF a Christian in town should be put
to death
"A mob surged about our hotel all
morning, and when finally we went
out we saw knives drawn by blood
thirsty looking crew. We heard NUT
tered threats and several rocks we're
hurled We pushed boldly through
the crowd. trying to appear as If we
owned the place. Although neither Of
us was hurt, we both felt easier when
we were well quit of the town"
Entering the Gulf of Emyrna on a
Greek vessel, DR.. Gibson's party was
fired upon by Turkish troops, who
aucnaofo1 fhav,n 30 bafno oroY,too
Luckily the shots went wide of
their mark" said DR.. Gibson. "The
firing soon ceased and we saw several
boats, loaded with soldiers, put out
from shore and come toward us. They
circled around us until satisfied we
were not hostile, then they escorted
us into the harbor. The captain in
charge of the troops was severely rep
rimanded."
DR.. Gibson deplores the Turkish
governments high-handed way Of re-
cruiting soldiers.
Men with families are seized on
the street without warning and forced
into the army" he said. Horses are
taken away from drivers for army
purposes. The horses drawing my
carriages were once seized by the in
PREVENTION of a Greek woman who was
with me and who could speak their
language that we were not forced to
finish our journey afoot"
DR.. Gibson spent three months in
the interior of Turkey and describes
1T as "the worst country on earth"
He says his mail was opened and
sometimes lost or destroyed. and that
cablegrams were delayed for days.
Others for which he paid were not
sent at all because of the suspicion In
which all foreigners are held.
And bad as It was, we received
better treatment than the travelling
European gets at their hands," he
said. "They think every American
they see is a millionaire, and they
treat him accordingly
ALSO, they have an intense dislike
for other Europeans because they be-
lieve the Europeans have designs on
their country"
The present sultan of Turkey has
given up the castle of his predecessors
on the Bosphorus. 1t may be that its
gloomy walls awakened unpleasant
thoughts and made a move desirable
for his peace of mind. Seventeen sui
tans were assassinated In that castle.

Real Conversation.

Let us never slight the elemen. of
discovery in conversation. The best
talk is in its nature a reconnaissance,
gay venture into untried and unsafe
territory on the doubtful side of the
mapped confines of truth. Too much
of our talk is historical, resort to
yesterday, a consumption of deposits;
the good truth is the truth that is
born or reborn at the moment of utter
ance or of repetition. The interest of
life is diminished by the fact that, left
to ourselves, we approach our own
thoughts, as we do our own houses, by
stereotyped routes; the companionship
our perceptions by altering our course.
Nothing helps talk more than a touch
of skepticism, a distrust of finalities.
The shrewd man knows that the
soundest of his convictions probably
shuts him out from the clear view Of
some other truth by which his mis-
guided neighbor illegitimately profits.
He loves to peer around the adverse
and repellent wall of his own settled
beliefs; he delights in the abrupt turn,
the quick side glance, which surprises
the unwary and fugitive truth. Re-
spectacle proprietor as he unQuestion-
ably is, he is also something of the
vagabond disposed to prowl with
criminal designs in the vicinity of his
own barns and hayricks. For men of
this type the fortuities and the audaci-
ties of conversation have an equal sug-
gestiveness. There are truths that
lurk in the shadow Of the unknown,
that haunt the confines of error; they
perish, like the unknown and the er-
roneous to which they cling, in the
daylight of investigation. The differ
ence, both moral and physical, be-
tween conversation and books is that
you need clear light to read by, but
you may talk as long as you please in
the twilight. One could wish at times
that there were more play in conversa-
tion-not more levity (of that the sup
ply is ample)-rather less levity and
more play-more forays into the un-
known, more hide-and-seek with truth,
more temptings of possibility. We
should share the detectives right of
belying the truth in the endeavor to
evoke or ascertain it.
