ALL ON BOARD ARE SAVED Tilot Miscalculates Strength of Cur rent and Boat Is Carried Against Bow of Ship Valuable Ma chinery on Board Is 1ost. The steamer Annie Comings, from Portland to Camas, Wash., with a load of machinery for the pulp and paper mill at that place, was wrecked in collision with the French bark Europe off St. John, at 5:50 o'clock last night and is a total loss. None of the crew was In jured. The steamer landed broadside Hcress the bow of the sailing vessel and broke in two. She went down within ten minutes. The Annie Comings was bound down stream and the Europe was at anchor. The steamer was in command of Cap tain P. R. Copeland and Pilot Spinner was at the wheel. The pilot attempted to alter his course after he made out the lights of the vessel but the current carried him broadside onto the bows of the French, craft. The Comings struck near the midship gangway and broke in two. The crew escaped by way of the upper deck, and the forechains of the Kurope. The mate's wife was acting In the capacity of cook on the steamer and It was with difficulty that she was saved. All the personal effects of the crew were lost. The Annie Comings was the property of the Western Transportation Company and at the time of the disaster was loaded with about $4000. worth of ma chinery destined for the Pulp & Paper Company at. Camas. All this Is lost. The vessel was built in 1887 and was formerly known as the William M, Hoag. She was built for a passenger boat to ply on the Upper Willamette. She was remodeled several yetrs ago and re christened the Annie Comings. She was 150 feet long, 60 feet beam and 66 feet depth of hold. HERM CLEARS WITH WHEAT Norwegian Steamship Carries Near ly 200,000 Bushels of Grain. The Norwegian steamship Herm, Captain Zachariasen, was cleared by Balfour, Guthrie & Co., yesterday, for St. Vincent for orders, with a full car go of wheat, . consisting of 197,745 bushels, valued at $170,214. The Herm left down the river during the after noon and she witl be able to proceed to sea today unless something unusual occurs. The clearance of the Herm brings the outward grain fleet up to 19 ves sels. The French bark Marthe Roux is finished but has not cleared, owing to an accident sustained in colliding with the dredge Columbia. The cargo of the Herm brings the total ship ments of wheat for the month up to 2.722.04S bushels. Two more cargoes will probably clear today, but the 3.00J.0 jO-bushels mark will hardly be reached. This was largely due to weather conditions. The Claverdon and the Glenelvan were both under charter "for December loading. It was not until late yesterday afternoon that the latter vessel was moved from the Southern Pacific dock and the Claver don has been lined and ready for more than a week. The berths at which the vessels were laying were exposed and the tugboats would not shift them. While December will fall a little short of expectations it will be suffi ciently large to establish a record for the port for a single month. With the vessels now in port and those to arrive in January, the first month of the new calendar year will equal, if 'not exceed, the shipments for December. HOUSEBOAT IS CUT ADRIFT River Pirates Set the Swastika Loose at Xlcht. River pirates have again appeared along tho waterfront of Portland and Jiave committed a number of depreda tions. The latest act of the "beach combers" was to set adrift the- house boat of R. B. Hallock, which was moored at the cast end of the Burn side bridge on the north side. The house contained a number of canoes, equipment, bedding, cooking utensils, etc. The houseboat, named Swastika, was very well known on the Willamette. Mr. Hallock, the owner, is employed in the tax department of the O. R. & N. Co. At the conclusion of the season he moored the craft on the north side of tho Burnside bridge with three heavy lines. Some time Sunday night the lines were cut and the scow set adrift. SPEXCER GOES TO VANCOUVER Steamer Will Transport the Troops Here From Washington Town. The steamer Chas. R. Spencer, under charter to the United States Govern ment to transport the Fourteenth In fantry, together with. camp equipment and baggage, from Vancouver to Portland, left last night for the first load of freight. The Spencer will bring around a load tjtay and one to morrow. She will make two trips Thursday with the members of the regiment. The Fourteenth Infantry is under orders to proceed to Manila for duty in the islands. The sailing date has been set for January 6 from San Fran cisco. , Tho troops will cross the Pa cific on the transport Thomas. Vessels Anchor Off St. John. St. John, six miles below Portland, is fast becoming an anchorage ground for vessels in and out of this harbor. The British ship Port Patrick and the French bark Europe were anchored there yesterday awaiting a tugboat for Astoria. The Armen, Marie Hack felt and the Elginshire, Inbound, are anchored off that town awaiting a berth in Portland. Tho crowded con dition of the local port Is responsible for the anchoring of vessels opposite St. John. Every berth is filled and, with the strong current running, the anchorage grounds are unable to ac commodate more vessels. Willamette River Falling. At Portland last night the Willam-t-tte- River stood at 15 feet, a drop of 2.3 feet since Sunday ' morning. All danger of flood has passed for the tires being and within a few days the current will have subsided sufficiently to permit harbor movements without the aid of an additional towboat. At all points on the upper river the water is falling rapidly and the drop at Portland is expected to be considerably greater within the next 24 hours. Drift has ceased to run in the river and, while the current is a trifle stronger, it will not last for more than a day or two. Clear With Lumber Cargoes. ASTORIA, Or., Dec. 30. (Special.) The steamer Cascade cleared at the Custom House today for San Francisco with a cargo of 620.000 feet of lumber, loaded at Prescott. The schooner Alvena also cleared today. She goes to Redondo and carries a cargo of 884,000 feet of lumber, loaded at Westport. Marine Xotes. The steamship Senator is scheduled to sail for San Francisco this .after noon at 4 o'clock. The Gladys has shifted from the stream to Irving dock. The British ship Glenelvan has moved from the O. & C. dock to Mont gomery No. 2. The Strathgryfe has gone into- a berth at Montgomery No. 2.

James O'Conners, a rancher living near Snake River, in Western Whitman County, during a drunken row Saturday shot George Porter, of Riparia, with a shot gun, inflicting a dangerous wound in the shoulder. The shot was fired by O'Conners after Porter had made, he alleges, several attempts to rob him. The charge was fired at close range and tore the coat from Porter's shoul der, but only a few shots took effect. O'Conners was arrested and brought to Colfax. Porter escaped arrest. Citizens of Riparia were afraid of O'Conners, which caused his arrest. Oregon People In Chicago. CHICAGO, Dec. 30. (Special.)

BIG TEAMS READY St. Louis and Multnomah End Practice. BOTH HOPE FOR VICTORY ' i Rain Would Help Clubmen, While Visitors Hope for Dry Field Re duced Rates Will Attract a Large Crowd to Game. Both the St. Louis and Multnomah foot ball teams were in full action on the club field yesterday afternoon, practicing for the great game on New Year's day. Coach Cochems trotted his men around the field an endless number of times, as j race rather than for football; but it was good for their wind, as he explained. The visitors from St. Louis are certainly a big. active lot, thoroughly trained. If Multnomah wins she can be proud of the victory, and if she meets defeat at such hands, she will have no cause to feel dis graced. The local team yesterday showed more skill in such details as catching and punting than the visitors. The latter, perhaps tired out by their hard practice, missed the ball three times to the local players' once. On the other hand, the St. Louis men have been working for ef fect, and undoubtedly are not going through many of their formations In the daily practice. The Multnomah team Is anxious to learn the new tricks that the visitors are said to have in reserve and will have an opportunity in case of fair weather However, a soaking downpour and heavy going would be to the local men's advan tage. Multnomah weighs more and St. Louis is said to understand a larger va riety of plays, so there you are. Each side, of course, has confidence in its own ability. The St. Louis men say that the de feat "at Spokane was helped on by an unfavorable field, but are not taking credit from the Washingtonians. . One of their best men. Jack Kinney, is laid up with a bad ankle he received as a Christ mas present in the Pullman game. The Washington defeat is also partly ex plained by the fact that the St. Louis team was not used to the higher altitude of that place as compared with the plains of the Middle West. No recent game has attracted more at tention than the coming one. The rail roads are to run extra coaches on the trains from Eugene, Albany, Corvallis, The Dalles and intervening points to handle the crowds expected from out of town. Half fare for the round trip is expected to pour hundreds 'of outsiders into Portland and straight on through the gates of Multnomah Field. The game starts sharply at 2:30 o'clock and will be played, rain or shine. Tickets are for sale at all the usual places for $1, grandstand free. The game tomorrow af ternoon will be the event in this city for the first day of the New Year. The St. Louis team will be the guests of the Portland Commercial Club at luncheon at the club cafe today at 12:15 o'clock.; C. W. Hodson, president of the Commercial Club; George W. McMillan, president of the Multnomah ' Club, and representatives of the press will also at tend the luncheon. Later the guests will be shown through the new building of the Commercial Club, which is nearlng com pletion. The lineup for tomorrow's game fol laws: Multnomah. Carlson Pllklngton . McMillan ..

Jeffries, the champion heavyweight pugil ist of the world, will referee the Moran Attell contest for the featherweight championship of the world. Jeffries ar rived here today from Los Angeles. Re ferring to the coming contest the big fellow said: "I hear that the little Englishman is 'a tough nut. If he is the man they say he is. he ought to give Attell a hard rub, but I won't attempt to name the winner. It wouldn't be the right thing to do." Jeffries vigorously denied the Imputa tion published in the East that he was inclined to favor the Englishman. . GREATEST CLOSING OF STAKES The Total Value Will Be but Little Under $600,000. NEW YORK, Dec. 30. The greatest closing of stakes In the history of racing in America will take place next Thurs day, when the entries for the big events of the season will be closed.

Hal pin, manager of the victorious team at the Olympic games in Athens, has replied to the attacks made upon him by sev eral members of the team and their pro tests against his acting as manager of the American team which Is to take part In the games in London next Summer. In a long communication . to the papers, Mr. Halpln gives what he declares 'to be the reasons for the attacks and the protest. He says that the main reason for the protest of the Irish-American Club is. the fact of the intense rivalry between that club and the New York Athletic Club, of which Mr. Halpin is a member. The protests of the various members of the team at Athens, he declares to be based on personal grounds, and takes each one in turn, telling his side of the incidents, which they have related. He closes his statement with a reference to the disappearance of the cablegram of congratulation from President Roosevelt while being passed about the table at the banquet In Athens after the games. Those whose criticism he answers are: Martin J. Sheridan, Robert Edgren. Ray C. Ewey. Harry Hillman and A. Sulli van, W. D. Eaton and R. G. Leavitt. Moran and Attell Finish Training.

Soccer League Game Tomorow. For the first time in the association football city league the Columblas and the Hornets will fight over the pigskin at 10 o'clock sharp tomorrow morning. Last week the Hornets were beaten by the Crescents, but are said to be in much better shape for the game tomorrow morning. On the other hand, the Colum blas defeated the Crescents last Satur day, so the Hornets will have' a double score to overcome to break even. A live ly game is promised. Cbit-Chat of Sporting World BY WILL G. MACRAE. NEITHER Pitcher Roy Hill, who was taken from the Seals, nor Kruger, whom Cincinnati grabbed from Oakland will be a member of the Reds in 1908. Both are slated for the Cincinnati dump ing ground, Columbus. Just before the close of the baseball season, Connie Mack, of tne Phillie Ath letes, charged Umpire "Sllk'l O'Lough lin with crookedness. The wise birds predicted that Ban Johnson would in due time make Connie weep. He did.' John son recently wrote the Philadelphia man ager asking him if it wasn't about time he was ashamed of himself. My, but Johnson must have been enraged when he wrote this reprimand. Cruel treatment for an old friend, eh? "It's better to be well to do, than to be hard up," said a well known fighter the other day in an Interview. Who will say now that some fighters at .least have not intellectual ability? Chlt-Chat will blow the bank roll in 1908 just as in 1907. John Joyce says there is no pocket In the shroud and we are not making a book that he does not know what he's talking about. Mique Fisher and his Honolulu Invaders have uncovered a pitching wonder over in Hawaii. His name is Reuter. Pat Dona hue, who caught the big Hawaiian in two games, says Reuter has in him the mak ing of a great pitcher. Danny Long is urgea to sign iiim for the Seals. Every local fan remembers Joy An drews. Joy used to play third. Since leaving these parts Andrews has devel oped into a manager. Last year he man aged a team at Hutchinson, Kan. They want Joy back again for he made good. Lots of luck Joy In 1908. Judge W. W. McCredie will leave to night for San Francisco, where he goes to attend the Pacific Coast League an nual meetings. The Judge will be one day late for the Attell-Moran fight. This will grieve him. Pearl Casey was a long time earning a championship title, but he landed it be fore the year rolled 'out. Casey received a telegram yesterday from Jimmy Cof froth. the big San Francisco fight pro moter, offering him a fight in the Rielly stakes. , Pat Donahue, after threatening to come to Portland for the purpose of making the McCredles cut in with his share of the Boston purchase price, has changed his mind. It took Pat Just two minutes to sign the Boston contract. Made Criminals by Society. CHICAGO, Dec. 30. "There are a few negro criminals by instinct, but the over whelming number are made criminals by society," said Professor W. S. Scar borough, of Wllberforce University, In an address last night In Bethel A. M. E. Church on "Crime and the Negro." "Our race Is discriminated against and our people are forced out of the best industrial fields,' he went on. "We are burned at the stake, lynched and hunted, and the negro would be more than an angel to withstand such treatment as that.

MY SUCCESS IN curing those func tional disorders commonly termed "weakness" IS DUE TO MY FU UU UNDERSTANDING AS TO THE CAUSATIVE CONDITIONS and to my absolutely scientific methods of remov ing them. Many cases of premature nef, loss of power, etc., present a variety of symptoms so entirely con fusing and perplexing that MOST PHYSICIANS have fallen into that dangerous rut, the practice of treat ing by set methods, without discrim ination; and without KNOWLEDGE AS TO THE REAL REQUIREMENTS. My first step is an absolutely scientific and accurate diagnosis. In a large majority of cases I find the sole cause of these functional derangements to be a SWOIaLEN, IRRITATED AND CHRONICALLY INFLAMED PROS TATE GLAND. This condition can not possibly be remedied by any treat ment other than the local measures ' I employ. and to ATTEMPT TO FORCE NORMAL ACTIVITY AND VIGOR BY THE USE OF STIMU LANTS and tonics would only result In the aggravation of the trouble. Under mv treatment a cure is POSI TIVE AND CERTAIN, and absolutely permanent, because I accomplish It by the removal of every cause responsi ble for the disorder. SPECIFIC BLOOD POISON. Others dose the system with mineral poisons scarcely less dangerous than the disease Itself. Under my treat ment the entire system is cleansed. The last taint of virus Is destroyed. Every symptom vanishes to appear no more. I employ harmless blond cleansing remedies. They are reme dies heretofore unknown In the treat ment of this disease.
