AJHE MOHKIKQ OREGONIAN, ,WEDNESD"iiY, " MAKCH I, 1903: CLOSING OF DRAWS. WHAT BANKS SHOW A Dollar's Worth Free NEW CRAFT GIVEN TRIAL RUN Judge Webster Hears Some Citizens' Views. SUGGESTS ACTION BY COUNCIL Court -Thinks There Is No Insur mountable Obstacle to Be Met - in Regulating Opening and Closing of Bridges. The question of closing the draws of the bridges between 6:30 and 7 o'clock and 7:30 and S o'clock in the morning, during' a -portion of the noon hour and also between 5:30 and 6:30 or - 6 and 7 o'clock in the evening was discussed be fore Judge "Webster by a committee of East Side citizens yesterday morning. The speakers were: Edward Newbegin, Thomas G. Greene, Charles J. Schnabely Tr". J. Peddlcord, Francis J. McKenna. "Whitney I. Boise, Joseph Buchtel and Herman Wittenberg. Judge "Webster In response sal&.the mat ter had 3een taken up with the.ttorney General of the United States, through United States District Attorney Heney. to whom he had written a letter upon the subject. Judge "Webster said he did not think there was an insurmountable ob stacle in the way of closing the draws at certain times, notwithstanding the "War Department was supposed to control the operation of the bridges. His Honor sug gested that the City Council be asked to pass an ordinance regulating the open ing and cJosIng of the draws. "While the county controls the bridges. Judge "Web eter said It would be well to have an ordinance passed to go with the order of the County Court in case of any legal contest. Supreme Court Decision. Thomas G. Greene, who was the first fspeaker, called attention to a decision of the United States Supreme Court that .the operation of bridges was a matter for the people to decide among them selves. The people had greater rights than the commerce on the water. The speaker said he did not agree with the statement of Captain Conway, of the O. R. & N. Co., that to close the draws at stated hours would destroy the commerce of the river. "Most of the commerce," said Mr. Greene, "Is below the bridges. Only a few large vessels come above all the bridges. Occasionally one loads at Inman, Poulsen & Co.'s mill, and recently a. load of iron was brought for the South ern Pacific Company." Mr. Greene re fered to steamboat companies which ob jected to the closing of the draws, and said one of the boats never carried over a half-dozen passengers except during hop-picking time, and Inconvenience to these few people was small in compar ison to the traffic over the bridges. Next he spoke of the United States mail ser vice, contending that the amount of malls carried on tho street-car lines was vastly greater than that carried on steamboats. T-OSS of time to worklngmen consequent to bridge delays, Mr. Greene estimated at $200,000 a year. Would Place Indicators. "Whitney I. Boise related an Incident where the steamer Republic whistled for the draw to open, and after it had been opened, whistled again that the boat could go under the draw. Ho advocated the placing of indicators on the bridges showing the distance from the top of the water to the deck of the draw, so that small boats could tell when It was safe to go under, and the passage of an or dinance making it a misdemeanor to whistle to open a draw when it was not necessary. Francis I. McKenna related that he had seen travel congested on the Morrison street bridge for more than an hour be cause of the numerous repeated openings of the draw. He also told how travel was stopped on the steel bridge and men de layed going to work. Herman "Wittenberg said he had 300 em ployes, many of whom lived on the East Side, who wanted relief. He also said the O. R. & N. Co. made a practice of tak ing Its steamships through the steel bridge during the" noon hour to save pay ing longshoreman, who rested during that hour: Bills G. Hughes said the draws were open too ong more than was necessary. The general expression of opinion of all present was that 140,000 people will frive thanks if arrangements can be made to keep the draws closed and accommo date travel over the bridges during the hours mentioned. RjVERMEN PRESENT THEIR SIDE Think Closed Bridges Would Prove Great Hardship. The afguments presented to County Judge "Webster yesterday by the citizens' committee have not in the least discon certed the river mon, and they are still firm in their conviction that the county will not disregard their rights or their possible losses so far as to close the bridges to them lor any portion of the day. They feel that when their committee waited upon Judge "Webster It presented facts which could not possibly be ignored and that It presented a solution to the problem which in point of feasibility and practicability cannot be overcome. The rlvermen, while refusing to admit the right of the county or city to close the bridges to them, still wish to do all In their power to relieve matters. "When interviewed last night. Captain A. B. Graham said: "I have heard that a committee of cltl zons -waited upon Judgo "Webster today and presented its side of the case, but It seems to me that Its side Is far too rad ical and It displays a far too selfish mo tive. From what I have heard, it seems to think that the rlvermen -disregard en tirely the rights of others, but if it is such a stickler for rights, it seems ne- cullar that it does not wish to grant that we have any rights. Speaking for the rlvermen. I feel safe In saying that every river interest is perfectly willing to do all in its power to help to avoid any de lay to the people, and with such a feeling i xninic tne citizens should be willing to co-operate with us to the extent of not causing us any loss. "I think there has been a great deal of exaggeration, in this agitation for the closed bridges. They speak of the long delays caused by the opening of the bridges, and it is asserted that the aver age opening extends much longer than ten minutes. I have watched the Morrl son and Madison-street bridges today and the longest opening was six minutes. .This was occasioned by a lone raft of llogs. extending la length from the Mor fcrison to the Madison-street bridges, and ?ln -tow of the slowest boat on tho river. the Albany. The agitators seem to think that the only possible loss that can occur will be to themseH'os. There were, how ever, four rafts of logs on the river to .day. Supposing any one of them had ' been stopped because of closed bridges. Imagine what the loss might have been. 1 do not think that any of the business men agitating for closed bridges would care to stand It. "j. uuuk mat tne wnoie matter can . be adjusted without any side elbowing vtho other out of the cway, and. X believe '!? i !u j ''."fV oeueve COAST SURVEY ficlent confidence in Judge "Webster's bus iness instincts to rest assured that he will never permit any condition to arise which will be a menace to Portland's in dustries. For my part, my wish Js that we will vet see the day when the "Wil lamette River will simply be covered with shipping, a line of boats extending from St. Johns to Sellwood, without any closed bridges and yet so bandied that the de lay to bridge pedestrians will never ex ceed five minutes." C F. Swlgert, who has a close Interest In the proposed closing of the bridges as a street-railway man, said: I cannot see yet where the closing of the bridges would result In any prac tical benefit It Is very readily admit ted, however, that there are numerous delays to those crossing tho bridges whloh I think could be avoided by the steamboat men. Still 1 believe that the rlvermen have by this time seen the errors of their ways in the past and real ize that they cannot go too far in their own desires. "I am a strong advocate for the middle course, as suggested by Mayor "Williams, and think that if the matter is adjusted along the lines proposed at the rlvermen's meeting that the whole difficulty will be remedied. If the rlvermen will only put such rules Into effect and see that they are honestly and faithfully carried out, which I think they will do, there will be no trouble. Should tho bridges be closed it seems to me that there will be too much of a resulting loss and there will surely be a serious clash, and the effect will be worse than present conditions." "It was suggested at the conference with Judge "Webster yesterday that $200, 000 l lost annually in time to breadwin ners through delays In crossing the bridge. D,o you believe that?" was asked of Mr. Swlgert "I don't know," he replied, "that any such statement had been made, but it would have to be proved to me before I would believe it Such a statement is absurd on its face and is not warranted. "I hardly think that the bridges will ever be closed, but I do believe that present conditions can be relieved by con cessions on both sides." GRUESOME MONTH'S EE CO ED Suicides, Murders and Fatalities for February Announced by Coroner. Fivo suicides, one murder, two women burned to death, one man killed in a street-car accident, one man drowned and four sudden deaths from heart failure comprised the remarkable record in the office of Coroner Finley for February. The police were also very busy during the month, many arrests having been made. Special attention was given to the en forcement of the ordinance which speci fies that saloons must- close from 1 to 5 A. M. The drinkers headed the list of ar rests, as usual. The dockets show 223 "drunks" and six additional "drunk and disorderly." The police brought in 61 minors found wandering about the streets after proper hours. For various misde meanors BS women were arrested. Va grants brought In numbered S6. Four in sane persons were picked up and sent to the County Jail.

ARAGO A SUCCESS Trial Trip of New Coast Sur .vey Steamer. FIRST RUN SHOWS GOOD TIME Guests Invited by the Builders Are Taken Down to 'the Mouth of the River Description of the Craft. The new seagoing coast" survey steamer Arago, built at the yards of the Port land" Shipbuilding Company for "the United States Engineers, had a trial run down the river yesterday afternoon. The test was a success in every way. The little boat's engines worked perfectly and she developed a speed of fully 11 knots on the run. Captain Chris Olsen was at the wheel and he said she steered like a yacht He took the steamer a short distance below the mouth of the "Willam ette, leaving the dock of the "Willamette Iron "Works at 2 P. M. and returning shortly after 5 o'clock. Several guests, in vited by the builders, were aboard. The Arago is to be stationed at Coos Bay, and takes the place of the old sur vey steamer George "Wright She will operate along the coast tfetween Coos Bay and the Columbia River, taking soundings In connection with harbor im provements. The steamer was designed by Fred A. Ballin, naval architect of this city. Her length is S3 feet C Inches over all. she has 18 feet beam. 9 feet depth of hold, will draw 6 feet 6 Inches in salt water and has a displacement of SO tons. She cost about $25,000. The contract was taken by the "Willam ette Iron & Steel "Works, which provided the machinery, but sublet the contract for the hull to the Portland Shipbuilding Company. The Arago greatly resembles the Quartermasters' steamer Major Guy Howard, but Is somewhat larger. She has accommodations in the forecastle for a crew of eight men and the after com partment is provided with staterooms for the captain, engineer and mates, seven berths being provided. On the -upper deck is. a large deckhouse containing galley, pantry, wardroom, two staterooms for Government officials, toilet-rooms and other conveniences. On the top of tho deckhouse is located a large pilot-house, which will also be used as a drafting room for the surveyors. The hull is constructed of Oregon fir and oak, the construction of the planking being diagonal, thus giving the vessel considerable strength. Throughout the steamer Is equipped with electric light, furnished by a direct connected G. B. generator. The steamer has a single screw driven by compound condensing engines, 10 and 22 by 14 inches, of 250 horse-power. The boiler is cylindrical, eight feet in diame ter by feet In length, fitted with a 42 lnch corrugated suspension furnace. The boiler is allowed 165 pounds of steam, working pressure. , TACOMA CAUGHT IN THE ICE Blockade-Runner May Yet Fall In Hands of Japanese. SEATTLE. "Wash., Feb. 28. It Is now believed beyond doubt that the steamship Tacoma was caught by the Arctic ice floes while attempting to pass through the Sayo Straits, en route to Vladivostok, with a cargo of. salt beef for the Russians. Cable ad vices to that effect were received here thi3 afternoon by the owners of the boat Japanese warships are In that vicinity, and herv capture is expected at any time. EXPORT GRAIN MOVEMENT. More Wheat Shipped to Europe Than at This Time ''Last Year. One grain ship sailed from Portland for Europe In the month Just closed, the French bark Eugenie FautreL carrying 110,015 bushels of wheat This, with the shipments to California, made a total of 191.941 bushels sent from this port by water in February, as compared with 266,440 shipped In the same month last year. Flour shipments to the Orient and California aggregated 62,840 barrels as against 75,631 barrels In February, 1904. "Wheat shipments from the Puget Sound ports last month were only E0.163 Sound ports last month were only E0.163 The flour exports from the North were 74,198 barrels, while a year ago they were 234.741 barrels. In spite of the changed conditions in the wheat market this Winter, it Is inter esting to note that the total shipments from Portland to Europe since the season opened have been greater than they were ih the corresponding period last season. For the cereal year 1904-05 to date. Port land has exported to Europe 1.340,500 bushels. In the same period of the 1903-04 season, the shipments .were 1.294.365 bushels. The total shipments from Portland and Puget Sound (flour included as wheat) from the beginning of the season to date were 12.937,321 bushels. The following table shows the movement in past years for the same period: Bushels. 1903-04 - 17.23Va 1902-03 23.S01.978 inniuM 20.449.6Si 1900-01 21.616.6S 1699-lfiOO 13.658.0S0 180S-99....; 19,309.814 1S97-9S 21.132,363 . New Boats Above Falls. Now that the removal-of the Imped! ment to navigation on the Columbia caused by the Celilo Falls is assured. tho Open-River Association is turning its attention to provisions for han dllng upper-river commerce. Until the Government canal is completed, the state portage road will furnish tem porary relief, but in order to give the territory above Celilo Fans any bene fit It is necessary that "boats be placed above the falls. Big- Eddy, at tho lower end of the rapids, is at present the height of free navigation of the Columbia River, but it is impossible to place boats plying1 to that point above the falls. This will necessitate the construction of craft above Celilo, and It is probable that some Inducement will be offered to steamship companies to supply such mode of commerce. A meeting of tho Open-River Association is now being arranged, which will probably be held some time this week. At that meeting the question of transportation above the falls will bs taken up, and steps taken to interest companies in that venture. Schooner Jesse Matsen Lost. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 28. The schooner reported lost off Tomales Bay yesterday has been identified as the Jesse Matsen.

Remarkable Financial Gain Is Evident CONTRAST OF TWO YEARS Increase of More Than a Million in Balances for Month Just ( Closed Over the Preced ing February. Portland's remarkable growth can be illustrated in no better way than by a report of the amount of money that is handled through the local banks and when It is considered that this report Is not taken at a time of unusual activ ity in the business world, but rather represents the actual amount of money passing through the Portland clearing house and the amounts on hand at the various banks In actual cash at a time of the year when business is ordinarily nearly dormant It is a wonderful show ing. That the proportionate growth of the city's business may be shown the re port for the year of 1903 is given here with: Clearings, J175.6S6.622.53. Balances on hand at the close of business of that year, 525,017,094.961 Last year the clear ings amounted to $1S3,051.459.92 which shows that there was 513.45 ,847.39 more business transacted through the banks of Portland during 1504 than the year previous. The balances on hand in the banks at the close of business on Decem ber 31, 1904, amounted to $25,537,621.32 or JS20.526.?6 more than the samo institu tions had In their vaults twelve months before. The reports for the month of February for the years 1504 and 1S05 as a comparison show an even more remarkable state of prosperity among the business people and should set at rest any Idea of unusual dullness that may be extant among Port land's merchants. In February, 1904," there was handled through the local banks not Including the amounts deposited and withdrawn la cash by depositors, but only the checks that were deposited with some other bank than the one upon which they were drawn, the sum of $12,641,559.52 and dur ing the month just passed the sum of 514.064.630.51 passed through tho clearing-house. This is the most wonderful showing that has been reported for many years as It shows a net increase of over a million dollars In the amount handled during the sup posed dullest month of the year over that of the same month of the previous year. The balances on hand have In creased In like proportion, or to be exact the amount now on hand In Portland's banks Is $2,233,023.61 while the amount In the vaults on March 1 last year was 51.533595 or 5757.S63.76 less than at thl3 time. As many business men retain large amounts of money In their private safes for uso before banking hours on the first of the month it is likely that the amounts of the balances as well as the clearings of the month of February would be materially Increased if all were deposited previous to the filing of the foregoing reports.

Erie St.- Chicago, a member of one of the most distinguished families in the coun try, cousin of Zachary Taylor, 12th Presi dent of the United States and grand niece of Alexander Hamilton, who signed the Declaration of Independence, writes: "Vlnol is a godsend to old people. I am 76 years old, but I feel active and well today, thanks to tho vitalizing effects of Vlnol. "My appetite is all that could be de sired. I sleep well and my mind Is clear, and I am interested In the affairs of life as I was 50 years ago. "When I was young cod liver oil was dispensed in a greasy, unpalatable form, and it fairly gagged me to get It down. Vinol is so different palatable and nour ishing to impoverished blood. "I feel so much stronger, both mentally and physically, since I used Vlnol that I feel it my duty, as well as a pleasure, to recommend Vinol as the finest tonic I ever used in my life." Such words of praise from a person of such high standing must be accepted as unquestionable proof of the superior ity of Vinol. Do you wonder that our Vlnol has such a strong hold upon the esteem of doctors and patients? We know of notning else that will accomplish such wonderful re sults: and. rtmember. Vlnol is not a patent medicine. There are hundreds of old people In this vicinity who need Just such a strength maker and tissue-builder as Vlnol. Thelr blood is thin and sluggish Vinol will en rich and quicken the blood and build up the system. It is so much better than whisky and strong stimulants, which always have a bad after effect and weaken and break down. There is nothing in the world so good for the weak, the aged or the run-down system and to cure a hang. ing-on cold or hacking cough as Vinol, and because we know so well what it will do we are always ready to refund every cent paid us for it If it falls to do "rhat "o say.

I willingly make this liberal offer because I know that Dr. Snoop's Rheumatic Remedy may be relied upon ALWAYS to brlnjr tho utmost relief that medicine can. Tears be fore I discovered this remedy, 1 studied tho nature of Rheumatism. For Rheumatism Is really Chrystalized Poison! Tour blood Is always full of poison the poison you eat ana drink and breathe Into your system. It Is the purpose of' the blood absorb and carry on tbls very poison. And the kidneys, which are the blood niters. are expected to cleanse tne blood and send It back through the system clean, to gather more polsoa which, they. In turn, will elimi nate. But sometimes the kidneys fall. And some times, from some other cause, the blood sets so full of poison that they cannot ab sorb It all. This Is the start of Rheuma tism. The poison accumulates and crystal lzes. The crystals look like little grains of sugar or of fine white sand. The blood car ries them and they Increase in size. Then, when It can carry them, no longer, it de posits them In a Joint on a bone any where. - The twinge In your leg the dull ache in your arm on a rainy day these are the out ward signs of the unseen crystals. And the twisted limbs and unspeakable anguish of the sufferer who has allowed his symptoms to ga unheeded and unattended for years these are the evidences of what Rheuma tism, neglected, can do. I searched the whole earth for a specific neuralgia, gout for all these- are the re sults of rheumatic poison In the blood. Plainly, the flrtt thing to do Is to remove, tho poison. , But this is not enough. The formation of tho poison must be stopped, so that Nature may have a. chance to dis solve and eliminate the crystals which have already formed. Unless this Is done there can be no cure no permanent relief.
