NEED ANOTHER , CARRIER Months of October ml November Are Likely to Witness Large In crease In Exports of Grain Products. . According to the agents of the Port land & Asiatic Steamship Company, it may be necessary to place 'another Bteamshlp in service between Portland nd the Orient. The demand for space on the outgoing liners for flour ship ments Is Increasing each day, and the fflclals of the company base their esti mate of the capacity of their fleet of liners as not quite capable of handling all that will be shipped during the months of October and November. On that account they are contemplating the chartering of another large steamer for one trip at least. The outward shipments by this line during the Fall and Winter will consist mostly of flour and grain, for the cotton shipments from the South and the large pieces of machinery that were sent from the Eastern states last year are not like ly to be In evidence this Fall, for up to the present time no . demand for space for these purposes has been received at the office of the company.. Enough flour in small consignments has been billed to fill the capacity of the Arabia and Aragonia. That Is, the flour and the other regular shipments that go toy each vessel will be enough to tax their capacity on their next voyages. The Arabia is due Sunday and if she reaches port on that day will have made a fairly good passage across the Pa cific. She brings a large cargo from the Orient, consisting of tea, rice, silks, gun nies, a little hemp and the usual con signments of -Oriental bric-a-brac and curios, but her cargo Is not nearly as large as that which is coming on the next steamship from the Chinese and Japanese ports. The Aragonia left .Yokohama for Port land Wednasday ana should reach here about September 28 or 29, and as the Arabia will hardly complete loading by that date, the two liners will be In port at the same time. STEAMER KELIEF LAUNCHED Sew Craft of Open River Company Heady for Operation Above Celllo. The new upper river steamer Relief, which has been built at Blalocks for the Open-River Transportation Company, was successfully launched at that place yes terday and will be taken down to Celilo this morning, ready to commence opera tion from the portage road to the towns along the Upper Columbia. When the contract for the construction of the Relief waa let, it was planned to have a craft capable of handling 100 tons of freight, but it Is now estimated that the new craft will have a capacity of 125 tons. She drew 14 inches of water when afloat, and this light draft will make her a valuable boat for upper river work. When Congressman Ransdall visits the portage road at Celilo today he will prob ably find four upper river steamers load ing at that place, for the Mountain Gem and Relief are sure to be on hand and the W. R. Todd Is due to reach there this morning. is is also the Norma. This will make an impression on the rivers and harbors committeeman from the lower house of Congress. The Open-River Transportation Com pany will remove its offices to the Oak street dock today or tomorrow, and will occupy the quarters of Russel & Rogers on the upper dock. F. J. Smith, superin tendent of the water lines of the com pany, will have charge of the new oflices and will attend to all business of the com pany nt the new quarters. The steamer Charles R. Spencer , will leave on one of her regular trips to the portage road this morning, when she will have one of the largest cargoes ever shipped to The Dalles, most of which will consist of salt, on which there Is a special rate made by the Open-River Company. VISIGOTH COMES FOR LIMBER Big British Tramp Reaches Port to Load for Chinese Ports. The British steamship Visigoth arrived in Portland harbor last evening and an chored in the stream. She comes to load lumber for Balfour, Guthrie & Co., and will take a cargo for Chinese ports. The Visigoth Is as large a vessel as the Elaine, which arrived Tuesday, and will carry more than 3,600,000 feet. The work of loading this cargo will be commenced today. The Norwegian steamship Norman Isles, which has been loading at the In-man-Poulson mill, hag had her destina tion changed from China to Vladivostok, for the reason that since the fire there last March the Siberian port demands a great deal of building material, hence the change in her orders. The Norman Islea will carry the second lumber cargo out of Portland for this port, the first having been taken a few weeks ago by the Nor wegian steamship Otta. The German steamship Arabia is due Sunday. The four big steamers will make the largest aggregate tonnage of steam vessels In the harbor at one time for sev eral months. BEAMEX ARE BACK AT WORK Strikers at Sail Pedro Admit They Were in Error. SAN PEDRO, Cal., Sept. 13. The Union seamen on the steam schooners South Bay and Centralla, who yesterday refused to unload the cargoes of lumber to'non- union longshoremen this morning, went back to work without question. They now say that they were wrong In refus ing to unload according to their contracts and that they will continue to work re gardless of whether the lumber is handled on shore by union or non-union men. This is regarded as the last move in the breaking of the strike here. K1I.BIKX REACHES PORT. Coastwise Boat Encounters Stormy Weather, but Makes Good Time! The steamer F. A. Kllburn arrived at her dock shortly before 9 o'clock last evening and commenced discharging freight from San Francisco and way ports. Captain Merriam reports ex ceedingly stormy weather off the Coast, although the progress of his vessel was not Impeded to any extent, for she went on the drydock at San Francisco last week and waa treated to a new coat of paint in addition to having her hull scraped and recalked. She brought the usual full cargo of freight and a number of passengers from the Coast ports. She will sail Sat urday night. Berlin Brings Cargo of Salmon. ASTORIA, Or., Sept. 13. (Special.) The American ship Berlin arrived today from Nushagak River, Bristol Bay, Alaska, with a cargo of 58,704 cases of canned salmon, the pack of the Portland Alaska Packers' Association's plant at that place. The vessel will proceed to Portland to discharge her cargo and pay oft her crew. Captain of Bark Meyers Fined. ABERDEEN, Wash., Sept. 13. (Special.) Capt. E. Wirschuleit, of the bark John C. Meyer, was fined J100 by Deputy Col lector of Customs Dorn today for carry ing an unlicensed first and second mate, the Meyer being a vessel "of more than 700 tons. Compeer Clears With Lumber. I ASTORIA, Or., Sept. 13. (Special.) The schooner Compeer cleared at the Custom-House today for San Francisco with 450.000 feet of lumber, loaded at the Astoria Box Company's mill. Marine Notes. The steamship Roanoke sailed last even ing for San Pedro and way ports with a full cargo of freight and passengers bound for the southern ports. The ancient American bark Coloma is reported as having sprung a leak at As toria before putting to sea on the voyage to San Diego with a cargo of lumber. The French ship Laennec will finish loading her cargo of grain for the United Kingdom this afternoon, which will make one of the record loading periods in the history of local shipping. The steamer Asuncion sailed for Ven tura, Cal., last evening, where she is to load a cargo of fuel oil for San Fran cisco, and after delivering this she will load a cargo of oil at Port Harford for this city.

PORTLAND, Sept. 13. (To the Editor) The greatest person in time of need Is the man who Is able to perceive wherein the evils of his day differ from evils of other, times, and who Is capable and fearless enough to prescribe a remedy for symp toms which have never been treated be fore. The most dangerous man at such a time is he who knows the evil exists but prescribes his remedy without per ceiving the difference in the symptoms, or who. In common slang, prescribes any old remedy. In a radical paper I read today an ar ticle by a man whose education should have placed him above such simple rant ing. This gentleman says the poor of America are getting poorer. He also says the rich are getting richer. We all know that at least the rich are getting richer, and figuring from the standpoint that the difference between the wealth of the rich and the poor Is in consequence much greater now than when tfie rich had much less, say a few hundred million, the assertion can probably be said to be true, even if the. so-called poor have a few hundred or "a few thousand more now than In the past. This gentleman makes no mistake in diagnosing the rich as getting richer but If he does see that the conditions that make people rich today differ from those which made men rich in older times he considers them Insufficient to count in the case. With this gentleman it Is enough to know that a man Is afflicted with fever, without considering what kind of fever he has. The remedy that cured a patient of malarial fever in the fifteenth century he would apply, to the typhoid patient in the twentieth century. Leaving out the fact that no remedy has ever cured the evil of the difference between the rich and the poor this doctor evidently believes that a remedy applied to the rich would cure both these and the poor. He falls to perceive that while poor people ir the old world made their rich neighbors richer by the law which refused the poor individuality, the poor of America have made their rich neigh bors richer by the individuality which gives us the right to practice unlimited extravagance. This Is a free country, and any lady who can scrape together enough money to buy a $100 dress has a perfect right to do so.. Stop the rich man from selling the dress to her and making the profit on it, and you have removed an American privilege which would be resented more by the poor woman than by the rich merchant. The man who can afford to cross the continent and back on the same train with his. millionaire neighbor has a per fect right to do so, even though he sacrifices the comforts of his home there by. Prevent the rich man from making a profit by accepting this poor man's fare, and thus forcing the poor man to remain at home, and you have insulted a lover of liberty. By sufficient acts of that kind you would also decrease the earnings of the road to an extent where the management would deem it Inadvisable to build new touring cars, and the result would be a reduction In the factory force. If you want to reduce American society to the plane of European society remove the American privilege of indulg ing in extravagance, and the job Is done. ONE OF THE POOR. Opera-House for Pendleton. PENDLETON, Or., Sept. 13. (Special.) Calvin Hellig, president of the Northwest Theatrical Association, was In Pendleton today on his way to Baker City. He will return In a day or so and take up the question of building a new opera-house here. From remarks made while here, it Is the Intention -Df the association to see that such a building Is constructed in the near future.

MEXICAN DENIES ABSURB RUMORS Says Anti-Foreign Agitation Has No Existence in i His Country. MADE FROM WHOLE CLOTH stories Turned Out by Irresponsible Correspondents In Cities North, of Boundary People Are ' Friendly to Americans. Mexicans, from President Dias down to the most humble and Ignorant peon, en courage and welcome foreign investment and Immigration, and. Instead of being hostile to Americans, recognise them as an indispensable factor in the continued prosperity of their country. This is the Mexican side of the stories that- have been circulated to the effect that the anti-American sentiment would culminate in a revolution. Arturo Del Toro, of Chapala, Mexico, a prominent Mexican, was In Portland long enough yesterday to deny the many stories that have been going the rounds of the American press. He declares that no general antl-Amerlcan sentiment ex ists in Mexico and that the rumors emanate from canard-manufacturers who have no interests in and who do not re side in Mexico. Mr. Del Toro owns some of the largest plantations In Mexico. His plantations near Acapulco comprise several hundred thousand acres. He spends ' at least half of his time In the United States and has a home In Boston. He Is thoroughly educated and speaks English as fluently as any American. "Only those who live in Mexico or those who have been there of recent years can realize how utterly false and absurd are the stories that are being printed from one end of the United States to the other about Mexican troubles," declared Mr. Del Toro with emphasis yesterday at the Hotel Portland "I have noticed that these articles are printed under an . El Paso date line, for the most part, and that they do not come from Mexico. They have their origin in American cities along the border. They are of the sensational order and the un principled and irresponsible persons who originate them have no trouble in get ting them printed. Denied by Resident Americans. "Mexicans and Americans are working together to expose these .harmful false hoods. In spite of all they can do the malicious rumors still manage to get into print. The several thousand American residents of Mexico City are signing a statement In contradiction of the rumors. There are something like 55 American Consuls in Mexico and they have report ed to President Roosevelt, in answer to recent 'inquiry, that they have been un able to learn of any anti-foreign senti ment. "At least 99 per cent of our people are as loyal as can be wished to the govern ment. They stand back of President Dlaa and favor peace and the encouragement of foreign investments? Next Sunday is the Mexican Independence day, and it will be more quietly and peacefully ob served than are the holidays in this coun try. There will be no uprisings or dis orders -of any kind, just mark my words. All of the saloons and drinking houses will be closed and perfect order will be maintained. "Drive the Americans- and their money away and it would take bread from the mouths of my countrymen. The Mexi cans realize this and the more Americans that come into our country the better we like it. When I say 'we' I mean Mex icans of all classes. Without the foreign ers Mexico would be stagnant and.devel opment would be at a standstill. ' nat have the Americans done for Mexico? Everything. Wages have been trebled within a comparatively few years because of the invasion of American cap ital, and the whole country Is prospering. Without American capital and American energy the latter is almost as vital for the development of the country as the former Mexico would amount to but lit tle. Americans Bring Prosperity. "And the Mexicans realize this. They have seen the country prosper with the coming of the Americans, and they know that to oppose them would be antago nistic to their own interests. When I come to the United States I hear much talk of the cry 'Mexico for Mexicans!' I never hear that cry In Mexico. 'Mex ico for both Mexicans and Americans!' expresses the sentiment of our people. "Even if the Mexicans should harbor a hatred for foreigners they would not dare to try to drive them out of the country. They know that Uncle Sam is the watch dog of the continent and that if they should rise against the Americans the United States would interfere. All Uncle Sam has to do is to let his hand fall and Mexico is his. And do you suppose for a minute that the Mexicans do not under stand this? "There are about 30,000 Americans In Mexico, and they have invested there $800,000,000. Of course, the United States will see that Its citizens are protected. President Diax Is friendly to the Amer icans. But he is not the only one. .All the Mexicans are friendly to the Amer icans. "What about the uprising at Cananea? Why, that was notihng more than a labor disturbance, pure and simple. It Is not generally known that Americana were at the bottom of all this. Labor agitators from the United States went to Cananea and tried to organize the workmen. They fomented discontent and dissatisfaction," and because of their agitation the Mex icans Tose against the owners of the mines where they were employed. They believed that they would receive higher wages. "If the owners of the mines had been Mexicans there would have been the same trouble. In the United States you have similar labor difficulties, but more of them. All Is Peace In Mexico. "In conclusion, L will say that all is peace and quiet in Mexico, both on and beneath the surface, and to hear of the terrible things that are to happen there we have to come Into the United States." Mr. Del Toro departed last night for Pan Francisco. He has been in the Pa cific Northwest to consult with men who are associated with htm in plantations along the weBt coast of Mexico, near Aca pulco. Approximately 3.000.000 acres are being converted into banana, cocoanut, pineapple and sugar plantations. "It is planned to establish a steamship line between Acapulco and the Northwest and intermediate points. Most of the tropical fruits consumed along the Coast come from Central America by the way of Galveston. There has been but little attention paid to the cultivation of the rich lands on the west coast of Mexico, but the soli Is so productive and so adapt ed to the raising of tropical fruits that bananas and other fruits crow there wild. Mr. Del Toro is the authority for the statement that capitalists In the North west are ready to establish a steamship line as soon as the production of the plan tations warrant such transportation facilities. UNIFORMITY IN SPELLING Its Relation to the General Subject of Uniformity and Variation. CARROLL, Or.. Sept. 13. (To the Edi tor.) Folks are getting in such a hurry now-a-days that they want to cut off all the corners. This seems to be the reason of the kick against irregularity of spelling. We have not time to supply the silent letters. We ignore their piti ful claim to remembrance and recogni tion. We want to cut them out. It is urged in behalf of spelling reform that it would save time and typographers' wages. Why save typesetters' wages if this would reduce the volume of busi ness? Such words as rough, cough, dough, plough, old familiar finger marks in the spelling books of our childhood, are" par ticularly anathematized and pointed out as horrible examples of the depravity of the language. I am one of those who de sire to see a square deal and every legiti mate right reserved. There were no silent letters in these words originally. Every letter was put there because It was actually articulated. But some of the, roughest corners have been worn oft the spoken words and the letters remain as silent witnesses of sounds that have gotten into disuse. The "ough" was originally sounded by our barbarian ancestors like the Indian "ugh," something between a sniff and a snort such as a pig or a bear emits when suddenly startled. In Gaelic and German these primitive sounds are still used, but our vocal chords are modined so that we have almost lost the power to pronounce such words as German "lch," Scotch "loch," or Irish "lough" or "hough." If we examine words that are spelled unphonetlcally and trace their history we can learn the reason. "Palm" was orig inally a word of two syllables, "palma." "Balm" Is a contraction of "balsam." "Damn" Is like a dog that has saved his life at the expense of his tall. It has become a byword and a reproach. It was originally damno, a safe, conserva tive and perfectly proper word. But if got Into bad company and stays there, because its true worth Is not recognized anywhere else. The letter "1" Is a liquid. It melts readily into "1" and disappears alto gether. That is what becomes of ft in such words as "balm" and "calf." In "bouillon" the Is are dissolved In the soup. A Frenchman Is as reckless about his Is and ts as an Englishman about his hs. The letter "r" is also a liquid. It melts Into "u." Art is pronounced aut. Now take "aut" and aspirate It in Gaelic or German style and it will become "ought" or "ocht." Simplified fonetically it would be "ot" or "zero." It would not amount to anything at all. This is how words as well as ideas become con fused or totally lost. The objections to simplified spelling are that It would obliterate the history of the development of words, destroy their individuality, invalidate their pedigree and reduce them all to a dead level of uniformity. It would extinguish poetry and literary art. It would break up the Iffime, which would not be a home at all without .the "e." It would destroy religion, for who could sing "Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me," or "Jesus Paid it All," or who would want to say the Lord's prayer If spelled fonetically? Prayers made in phonetic language would be even more useless than they are now. No one could put any heart or enthusi asm Into them. But if a majority of voters insist on uniformity of atyleln spelling, of course the rest must submit. Style Is more im portant than comfort anyhow. And it is better that the President should be the autocrat in the case. Let him say Just .how every word should be spelled and hold him responsible for the conse quences. Let us also have uniformity in relig ion. The arguments in both cases are similar. What is the use of having so many contradictory and irrational ways of spelling out the meaning of the Bible? What is the use of supporting so many preachers giving contradictory opinions about the will of God? Let us put an end to this deplorable state of anarchy by turning the whole matter over to the Secretary of . ar. Let him take the full responsibility of deciding what we shall believe, so that we can all rest in peace and live in Christian brotherhood. Let all the preachers get up the same ser mon for the same day and giv4 it out In advance to the press, so that it can all be printed for Sunday. This would yield an Immense saving in labor, time and talk, as well as in millinery bills. Furthermore, we could all pray or the same thing at the same time and this would be more likely to bring favorable responses. If uniformity in spelling would be a benefit, uniformity in religion would surely be a blessing. It is a won der no one thought of this before. Let us also have uniformity in diet and drink and clothing. The Government has Just as much right to prescribe and pro vide what we shall eat for breakfast and dinner and supper and what we shall drink between meals and what we shall wear,- as It has to provide for education in the public schools, and prescribe what the children shall believe or learn and what they shall be prohibited from learn ing. Now here are just the same tendencies at work that I pointed out in a previous letter. On the one hand is the trend towards uniformity and monotony through Government control, and on the other towards variation and diversity of indi vidual and communal rights and liberties. Both these tendencies are good when restrained In their proper limits. In so cial science as in architecture there should be uniformity in fundamental principles, but diversity and variation In details. This is the natural way and all social problems can be solved satisfactorily by this plan so as to secure universal lib erty and harmony. This is the New Dis pensation idea. J. L. JONES. Musicians and Brass Buttons. PORTLAND, Sept. 13. (To the Editor) I should like to ask in a mild and impar tial manner why The Oregonian keeps slamming out insinuating and slighting remarks because the women of Portland go to The Oaks and listen attentively to D'Urbano's Band? Are not women quite as capable of appreciating good music as our husbands and brothers? If it Is merely the brass buttons and uniforms that attract, as Manager Fried lander says, why not hire the little band that plays on our street corners? It would certainly be cheaper, and they have the brass button requirements. If Manager Frledlander has not the gal lantry, he should at least have business Instinct enough to speak in proper re spect of the many good women who go to The Oaks to listen to the music that charms tne men as well as the women. I, as one of the slightly spoken of, go often to The Oaks and give my whole at tention to the band, not as men, but as musicians musicians that play so as to make you forget they are being paid for their services; musicians that play with the hearts and souls of artists because they love music; musicians that play mu sicnot trash because they have a leader that has the energy to impart his mag netism to his workers. If it is brass buttons and uniforms that attract, try it! Get your scrub band, dress them up in gold lace and fine cloth, and there will be such a falling off in attend ance as to make the manager's ears fairly buzi with surprise. The few that do go will chatter like magpies, while the band slay "Annie Rooney." ONE FRIEND OF MUSIC. COMPLAINS OF FRUIT LAW SUBURBAN GROWER CHARGES LAX ENFORCEMENT. Fruit Commissioner Reld Says Tree Cutting Will Await Decision on Pending Damage Salts. PORTLAND, Sept. 13. (To the Editor.) Kindly inform a large number ot your read ers If the controversy between County Fruit Inspector Reid and Mr. Sellwood. regarding the destruction of his infected orchard at Mllwaukie has ever been decided, also, whether the law governing the inspection of fruit offered for sale ts a part of the same governing the inspection of orchards? I ask for the above Information for this reason: I am one of the cufferers. In several ways On the Base Line road from Thirtieth street to West avenue are a mac of old orchards that, to my certain knowledge, have had no care for yearn from the owners; I know of but three growers tn this section that make any pretensions whatever In caring for their trees, and the consequence la that those that do trim, spray, etc., elmply waste good money and time, as during the dry season the air is literally full of disease germs from these infected trees. The attention of Assistant In spector Delch has been called to the matter. In fact, he need not leave his own yard to see it, and the anewer is that they are "waiting the decision in the Sellwood case" before they can' do anything to remedy the evil. In the meantime "Motormon" Diech goes about condemning fruit from this and other lections occasionally about often enough to hold his job irrespective of the Sellwood case, and the question comes to some of us, "If our law is defective In the one part, how can it be operative in the other?" No one will welcome thorough In spection of both orchard and fruit more than the grower who raises for the market, or his own enjoyment, but there can be no benefit to any neighborhood of fruitgrowers from the best laws possible to be enacted unless the same be enforced Indiscriminately by com petent men. who are thoroughly acquainted with fruit culture. Mount Tabor fruitgrowers will assist In such work, almost to a man, but at present, relief by the. law seente to be a long way off. M. 6. Fruit Commissioner J. H. Reid was shown the foregoing at his home in Mil waukee yesterday, and he said: "The Sellwood case will be tried out at Oregon City In October, when we will know whether we can enforce the present law. To go ahead and condemn and cut down more fruit trees before this case is settled mifht result In piling up damage cases in every direction against the In spector. I find myself defendant in a damage case to the amount of over $2000 for an effort to enforce the law. I be lieve the law will be upheld, but, of course, there Is no reason In piling up more cases of the same sort. I believe that Inspector Deich Is in every way capable and energetic In the discharge of his duties. He Is fearless and gives no favors to anybody. Nobody questions that I did not discharge my duties as In spector without regard to anybody, and I know that Mr. Deich is following out the same line, and perhaps more effect ively than I did before he was appointed. The appropriation is very small for ef fective work for the preservation of our fruit interests." Henry Larsen, of Mount Tabor, a fruit man, said yesterday that if the present law is not effective, the growers will unite In asking the next Legislature to frame one that will be effective. Mr. Larsen said that the growers will favor making an appropriation large enough to erable the Inspectors to put in their entire time. At present, the appropriation for fruit in spection is ridiculously small. Mr. Reld also remarked yesterday that no man could do effective work under $1500 per year and expenses. He Intimated that he would retire unless provisions were made to compensate him for his work. It is considered likely that this agitation will result In better provisions for enforcing the law against diseased trees and in framing a new law if the present one proves inefficient for the purpose. It may be said that Mr. Sellwood's or chard at Milwaukie Is the only one where an inspector has gone into an enclosed place and cut down fruit trees. Other trees were cut down, but they were out in the open, and not enclosed. New Postofflce for Corvallis. CORVALLI3, Or., Sept. 13. (Special.)

WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS. Has a New Lease of Life and Re commends the Pilla to All Others Who Suffer. Anaemia is just tha doctor's name for bloodlessuess. Dr. "Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People actually make new blood. Can any cure be more direct or certain? Blood is bound to enre bloodlessuess. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure antenna just as food cures huuger. They cured Mrs. Thomas J. McGann, of 17 Lincoln Place, Plainfield, N. J., and they can do as much for any other pale, weak, ailing, bloodless person. ' "In the spring of 1903 I did my usual house cleaning," says Mrs. McGann, "and soon afterward I began to have the most terrible headaches. My heart would beat so irregularly that it was painful and there came a morning when I could not get up. My doctor said I had anaemia and he was surprised that I had continued to live in the coudition I was in. I was oounned to my bed for nearly two mouths, the doctor coming every day for the first few weeks, but I did not improve to amount to anything. "Altogether I was sick for nearly two years. I was as weak as a rag, had headaches, irregular heart beats, loss of appetite, cramps iu the limbs and wn unable to get ft good night's sleep. My legs and feet were so swollen that I feared they would burst. "One day while I was wondering how long I could live, feeling as I did, I re ceived a booklet telling about Dr. 'Wil liams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I read it and told my husband to get me some of the pills. Before very long I felt a change for the better. I have taken about twelve boxes and although I was as near the grave as could be, I now feel as if I had a new lease of life. I have no more headaches, the heart beats regularly, my cheeks are pink and I feel' ten years younger. I feel that I have been cured very cheaply and I have recommended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to lots of my friends."
