His Wife and Child Are Left Pen- niless and in Agonizing Anxiety. FRESNO, Car.; Jan. 1.—C. H. Wolcott, for the past six months superintendent of the Sampson Flat mine in the mountains about sixty miles east of here, has disap- peared. A week ago last Saturday he left for San Francisco to sell hisone-quarter interest in the mine which he was superintending. On Monday he had sold one-half of his in- terest to Mr. Rolf, manager of the Kings River Lumber Company, for $560. Hea 1 Rolf foranimmediate advance on the bargain, but this the latter refused to do, as he wanted to communicate with ‘Wolcott's partners in this city before clos- ing the deal. Wolcott then asked Rolf to lend him $20 with which to return houe, as he was entirely without funds.. This Rolf did. Since the time Wolcott left Rolf no trace of him can be found. His wife and daughter are in this city and he left them venniless. They are almost distracted with anxiety. 1t is generally believed that Wolcott has deserted his family and- has gone to seek fields anew. No motive for his departure is known, only that while here he_ has always carried some .weighty matter on his mind which has not been divulged to any one, not even to his wife. Judging from remarks Wolcott made be- fore he left Fresno, it was then his inten- tion to skip out. Wolcott came to Fresno with his wife and daugbter about two vears ago, and at first was in the insurance business. He formerly lived in Montana. . Revenue Officers Changed.

BY THE SECRETARY OF THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. Portland is the metropolis of the Pacific Northwes It is situated on the Wi lamette River, twelve miles from Its con- fluence with the Columbia, and 110 miles from the Pacific Ocean. It has natural ad- vantages as to locality and cli combined . with the enterprise of its eiti- zens, haveeffected an énozmous growth. [t has a population of 90,785 people, showing a very rapid increase in the last five years, during’ which time capital has been in- vested and encouraged, and its manufac- turing products have constantly increased. There has recently been constructed a deep channel from Portland to. the sea, a distance of 112 miles. at the expense of the citizens of Portland. The deep-sea commerce of -this port for 1894 was,: foreign and coastwise, about $7,000,000, which, of course, is exclusive of | produce and merchandise shipped from the city eastward during the year, which amounted to about $3,000,000. The deep-sea commerce for 1895 will show quite an increase. For tlie past six months the experiment has Been tried of running a monthly line The channe} is | ‘twenty-five feet-deep, and was constructed decorated train, and sent flying to Chicazo and New York on passenger time. . Silk, | rice, matting and. curios were also in her | inward cargo. Ontward bound. the Chitta- | ‘gong carried a full cargo of flour and .did not nave space accommodations -for ail that was offered. = £ The second. steamer to’ arrive was the | Asioun, a much larger vessel than the | Chittagong. She came into port July-26. On her return. trip she stopped at Hono- lnlu. - A good amouut of freight was:of~ fered for thedslands, and tivere was:.also | demand for coolie transportation between | Honolulu and Yokohama, which she could |'admirably fill. On August 23 the third | steamer, “the Altmore, reached “Portland. The fleet was now comnplete, but ‘it was evident that the vessels were too | smail for the rapidly growing trade, The | Chittagong, however, made ~one .more | trip, as ‘the new boat. engaged. for the | service got -worsted in a Chinese typhoon ‘and had to lay up for a while for: re- pairs, missing her sailing date.” The Chit- | tagong reached here on her:last trip Sep- !tembgr 22. The Asloun: followed her, arriving Novemper 8, and ‘again returning westward via the Hawaiian .isles. - The latest 10 arrive was the Mount Leba- non, which' came into port on the 2d of the present month. This is the steamer ! the place of which was filled in September The Fortland steamers now in the busi- ness. have accommodations, however, for only a'limitea number of guests. J Before the ‘contract of the O. R. and N. and. Samiuels & Co. expired on: Decem- ber 1, Receiver McNeill of ‘the O. R. and N. hiad commenced negotiations with. the steamship firm to make the line per- marent, and yesterday ‘the matter was satisfactorily arranged, and the contract signed. Messrs, Samnels & Co. agree torun | amonthly line of steamers,witha mininium capaeity of 3000 tons each, and provisions are made for increasing the frequency and carrying capacity: of- the steamers as- the. growth of business niay justir%’. The title of the:line is the Oregop Railway aad Navigation Asiatic Steamghip Line, in con- nection with the Great:Northern Railway. The results of the sixmonths’ contract with: Samue!s & Co. have justified the permanent; establishment of the line. 'hrough this medium: we.export to the Oriental ‘countries our flour and mill products, our lumber, fruits; vegetables, meat: and horses; and import teas, curios, | matting, - silks, . matchwood;: rice,’ wall paper. etc. g 2 Probably - a number of steamers: will be built specially adapled for this trade, and it is quite probable that before fong steam- ers will be runniing oftener -than onceé a month. The line will carry passengers as well as freight, and" as business increases will furnish increased accommodation to-|- meet all demands. On- his recent. visit to'Portland: Mr. Da-. vidge stated that :the imerchants of this city would' see'great improvements in:the service before. next summer.: When :the new. tea crop begins to.move if tiie present vessels are not large enough to handle the g { AT RO ie CHAMBER - OF COMMERCE BUILDING [From-a photograph.] AT PORTLAND; OR. of steamers between Portland ‘and Japan and China, and it has proved a success far beyvond the anticipations of the promoters.

This was made more evi- dent ‘when the Orégon road allied itself with the Great Northern. Overtures were mede to.the Samuels firm, which owns and operates a large namber of steamers in Asiatic waters, and F, C. Davidge, the Vic- toria- agent of the firm, canie to Portland and a contract:was drawn up. This was approved by all parties,..including the Great Northern, and after satisfactory as- surances of continued patronage had been made by Iarge shippers on both sides of the ocean the agreement was signed. The first steamer of the line, which was known as the Oregon Railway -and Naviga- -tion steamship line, was the Chittagong, a staunch freight vessel, thotigh- of only medium . capacity. She left ‘Hongkong June'5 and, stopping at Yokohama, Kobe and other Japanese ports, came straight across the Pacific to this city. She reached Portland: :June 26 and was given a right royal reception. Along the river front she was the principal object of interest, but _what was'more satisfactory to the u!’dcinlu of the company was the great amount of freight offered for her return trip. She brought the new crop of tea, which was at | once dispatched East in a:lengthy banner- stéamers -call at Victoria and the freight is transferred to the upper Sound cities by means of small steamers. : There are five swnmshiF lines across ‘the Pacific and the Portland line is the young- est and one of the most_prosperous.- San Francisco has two lines, the Occidental and Oriental, Spreckels line.and..the Pacitic Mail, which, with Huntington at the head, is practically the same thing as the Sputh- ern Pacific. The steamers of these two companies run alternately, and, being long established in the business, they handle & g.mt amount of traffic. Thatthe O. R.and - Co.’s line lias seriously cut.into their flour traffic i évident from the fact that they recently :joined the northern lines in:cutting rates to run off the Portland stedmers. Such ‘a move -resulted merely Lin the: home company. cutting below the. other lines and carrying off ‘the cream of the business. There are two lines in the north, the Canadian Pacific and Northern Paclfic. The Canadian steamers sail from Vancouver and the Northern Pacifie from Tacoma. Both lines call at :Victoria; and on the Asiatic side all make Yokohama or Hongkong the terminus.. The -Canadian steamers are fast msil vessels, adapted principally to the passenger trade, though they carry some freight as well. : All'thie other lines carry freight and passengers. The experiment proved successful, | y | hanufdcturing cits She has cheap fuel and an abundance of | -1 000, with - whiel crop - larger ships will be immediately en- gaged.
