12 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, JANUARY 21, 1903. MARIE HACKFELD Hi GERTRUD OUT Two More Grain-Carriers Get Away With Cargoes for . United Kingdom. FORMER CARRIES BARLEY To Date 15 Vessels Have Cleared During the Month With Nearly 1,500,000 Bushels or "Wheat. Lumber Shipments Short. The German ships Marie HackfeU and Gcrtrud cleared from Portland yesterday with full carRoes of grain for the United Kingdom. The former carried 91.331 bushels of barley and 26.008 bushels of wheat. The latter took out 89.645 bushels of wheat. The Marie Hackfeld will pro ceed direct to Ipswich and the latter will report at Queenstown or Falmouth for orders. Wheat shipments for the month now total 1,362,124 bushels, with a total val uation of .$1,209,907. In addition to this 10.002 barrels of flour and 91,331 bushels Of barley were cleared. This is the first barley shipment foreign since the latter part of November, when the British steamship Woodford cleared for Mel bourne. Fifteen full cargoes have cleared so far during the month and it is probable that five or six more will get away before the beginning of February. During De cember there cleared foreign 19 com plete cargoes. Germany's shipments will not equal those of December, as fully half a dozen steamships cleared .with cargoes during the last month of the year. Lumber shipments have been reduced to practically nothing. The coastwise business has fallen off until only three or four vessels remain in the business, and these are all under charter. For eign lumber business has also fallen off to a marked degree and charters in this direction are very low. There has been considerable movement in the chartering of grain vessels out, but the major por tion of them are for craft not due until in the latter part of April or May. They will all get away before the opening of the new season. LIGHTSHIP TO BE REPAIRED Owners ot Port Patrick Will Pay for Damages to Vessel. Taylor. Young & Co.; local agents for Crawford & Rowat. of Glasgow, owners of the ship Port Patrick, which fouled the Lightship 50 oft the. mouth of the Columbia the morning of January 3, have advertised for bids for the repairs to the lightship. Bids must be In the office of Taylor, Young & Co. by noon Friday. An arrangement has been made be tween the owners of the Port Patrick and the Government whereby the repairs will bo made to the lightship at the, ex pense of the owners of the British craft. The Port Patrick, in command of Cap tain Sainty, sailed from Astoria on the morning of January 3. She was bound for the United Kingdom and was wheat laden. After being dropped by the tug she attempted to stand oft shore, but a sudden shifting of the wind made her ' unmanageable for 'a moment and she struck the lightship a glancing blow. The Port Patrick afterward got in the breakers off Grays Harbor and came near being stranded, losing her carpenter overboard: She was finally towed into the Straits of Juan de Fuca in a badly crippled condition. The following communication has been received by The Oregonian from Captain Sainty, master of the Port Patrick: VICTORIA. B. C. Jan. 18. CTo the Editor.) I understand that an article ai Veared in an evening paper published in your city statins that the reason I struck the Columbia bar lightship was because my crew was composed of "stiffs' supplied at rortland. This is utterly untrue. The cause of the collision was a shift of wind causing the ship to become for the moment un manageable. 1 can only speak in the highest terms of my crew. They behaved splendidly and every one without exception is a sailor. My orders were obeyed with a cheerfulness and alacrity seldom seen on board the present day merchantman. Even when the ship was in the breakers off Grays Harbor there was not the sllcht rt sign of panic, although every one thought his last hour had come. No one but sea men could conduct themselves In the same BPlonrild manner those men did in the very tryinc time we had. Aftor getting off the land we experienced two of the hardest sales that 1 have seen in my IS years at sea. The men scarcely tzot any rest and then only in wet clothes and wet beds, but the same cheerfulness and heartiness prevailed throughout. Seamen's l-Ylend Society Concert. The Portland Seamen's Friend Society's concert for sailors last evening, given by Mr. Jack Hampton, was an undoubted success. Tlie hull was packed to the doors with sailors and a few townspeople. Kvery number was good and the sailors showed how much they appreciated them by their vociferous encores, many of the nrtisls being recalled again and again. The programme was as follows: Vocal solo, Mrs. Millie Perkins: Flute solo, Hobln Adair; vocal solo, Mrs. Fred Jone6; y. W. C. A.

The officers of the Portland Cham ber of Commerce were engaged yes t day in circulating the initiative p.titlon which provides for the en largement of the powers of the Port of Portland. Persons who have no otlur opportunity of signing the peti tion may do so by calling at the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce. J B. Jones Again in Commission. The steamer F. B Jones, which was wrecked at Mount IVf fin on the night of November 24. by collision with the steam ship Asuncion, has been repaired and will go into commission again today. The Jones has been entirely rebuilt and will le as good as a new craft when she backs out this morning. She will be again in command of Captain Russell. Thyra Chartered for Lumber.

Not being willing to take chances on delays on the part of the City Health Department, the Rose City Park Im provement League selected its own offi cial rat-catcher, at its regular meeting last night. The honor went to V. Spath, the member of the club who complained that several thousand rodents had been discovered infesting the barns, sheds and nuthouses along Sandy Road, east of Twenty-eighth street, during the past few weeks. While the rats are not re garded as any particular menace to pub lic health at the present time, they have been conducting marauding expeditions, robbing hen's nests and chicken coops and even attacking full-grown fowls. Committeeman. Spath .said that he counted more than 100 rats scampering through a single runway in search of food one evening, and this led him to make his complaint to the club. He will report the matter to the City Health officer inasmuch as the raids of the rodents have taken place inside the city limits and he will devise some means of exterminating the pests either by or ganizing a hunting expedition or by en listing the efforts of all the rat-terriers in the neighborhood. A committee was appointed to meet with the delegates of the United Fjast Side Push Clubs, tonight, for the purpose of taking up the . bridge draw question, full authority being given the committee to act for the club. Following the regular business session. C. C. Chapman gave an interesting talk on "The Growth of Cities," outlining the growth and development of several old world centers of population as well as a number of principal American cities. Bald?

WOULD STOP EAST SIXTH STREET FILL Inman-Poulsen Lumber Com pany Objects to Cost of Embankment. CASE BEFORE COMMITTEE Arguments For and Against Contin uing Contract Bring Out Acri monious Debate Lumber Com pany Scored by Councilmen. A large delegation of property own ers along East Sixth street and vicin ity was present at the meeting of the Judiciary committee of the. City Council- yesterday afternoon, protesting against the attempt of the Inman Poulsen Lumber Company to have the contract for the fill on that street, from Sherman to Division, rescinded. Coun cllmen Rushlight and Kellaher repre sented the delegation, although some others addressed the committee, and George S. Shepherd appeared for the mill firm. The committee will inspect the district for further information, and some legal phases of the case will be given attention by City Attorney Kavanaugh, after which action will be taken. A good many cutting remarks, were made against the Inman-Poulsen com pany by Councilmen Rushlight and Kellaher, W. J. Clemens and others, and Thompson Foster went so far as to declare that "any Councilman who would vote to discontinue the fill would be unworthy of re-election." This ap parently angered Councilman Bennett, chairman of the judiciary connittee, who shouted' that any more such re marks would cause him to clear tfte room; that it was facts the committee was called to hear and not "bun co'nbe." For the mill firm, Mr. Shepherd de clared that the fill would cost his cli ents about $28,000, and amounts to the confiscation of the property assessed, and is therefore unfair. He also de clared ' that the act of the Council when the contract was authorized is irregular, and intimated that he would contest it if the contract is carried for ward. Hear Protests From Owners. Councilman Rushlight, in whose ward the fill is -being made, said he thought the company should give Its reasons for asking "such an unreason able thing from the Council as the rescinding of the East Sixth-street fill," but Mr. Shepherd replied that, while there were good reasons he would ask that the protest of the prop erty owners be heard first, and Chair man Bennett ruled in his "favor. Councilman Rushlight then briefly outlined the protests, saying that the fill was duly authorized, was adver tised according to law, notices were posted and the officials of the Inman Poulsen company were well aware, of the action, and did not protest then, as was their right if they desired. He said that the property owners along Sixth street," acting on the assumption that the work would go forward to completion, . put in cement sidewalks and all necessary improvements, and that these would be worthless without the completion of the work." "We have treated the Inman-Poulsen people very fairly, It seems to me," said Mr. ' Rushlight. "B"or years they have used the streets over there free of charge, and I think it abput time that they were paying something toward the improvement of the district." W. J. Clemens, a realty agent, next spoke against rescinding the contract for the fill. He said the Inman-Poulsen people knew all about the contract being let and had ample opportunity to protest, but he declared that he was personally assured at the time by an official of the firm that the imp.Vive ment would be acceptable to the com pany. "Everything was all right," said Mr. Clemens, "until Mayor Lane discov ered the firm was using a lot of the city's streets free of cost and demanded that the mill company' officials make good to the city. They then suddenly decided that the fill was too expensive and began plans to defeat the improve ment. I want to call the attention of the committee to the fact that, in all the years the Inman-Poulsen company has been in business In East Portland, it has expended just $15 on street im provements, although it has worn, out many streets, time and again. It was but recently that Mr. Poulsen, while testifying in Washington, swore that his firm had made $1,000,000 in the past five years; it seems to me the company should be willing to help a little in the street improvements in the vicinity of its mill." Advises Sale of, Slabwood. "Mr. Clemens, is it not true that If the Iriman-Poulsen company sold its slabwood, which Is placed in the gulches, at a reasonable price to tlie poor people of the city, it would have had enough money to pay for its share of this fill?" asked Councilman Rush light; but Chairman Bennett ruled out the question and the answer wu not given. C. F. Swlgert. president of the Pa cific Bridge & Building Company, de clared that his company was unwilling to continue with the contract, inas much as the Inman-Poulsen officials had warned him they would not pay their assessment, and he said he did not care to take the risk under tire cir cumstances. He said that under the city's system of handling street Im provement work, the contractor gets the worst of it. but he was advised by City Attorney Kavanaugh to proceed with a test case on some of the jobs, to see if property owners can be forced to pay. PASSES BOGUS CHECKS Drunken Man Arrested Found to Be Swindler at Station. Joseph P. Sivener. brother-in-law of Melville G. Bradley, who is wanted in this city for the killing of Police man Glttings, is in the toils to stay for some time, at least until he can clear himself of two serious charges which were yesterday filed against him, both being for obtaining money under false pretenses by means of forged checks. Sivener was arrested on Saturday night in an intoxicated condition and gave the officer who took him in,to cus tody a fictitious name, but his identity was discovered at the police, station, where it was known that he had swin dled several East Side people with bogus checks. He was held under the grayer charge until further evidence could be obtained against him. Yesterday afternoon H. Hansen, who conducts a furniture and hardware store at 91 Russell street, and H. B. Sloan, a saloonkeeper at 83 Russell street, appeared at the Municipal Court and signed complaints against Sivener. They brought with them the checks with which they had been swindled. Sivener, It is alleged. In company with an expressman by the name of Pickett, presented the checks on Sat urday afternoon. At the first place Sivener went, the saloon man cashed the check for the full amount, $21. At the furniture store, a few doors away, Mr. Hansen said that he did not have all the money necessary, but let him have $10 and told him to come back later in the afternoon and he could get the balance of the $83.15, for which it had been drawn. Sivener did not re turn for the rest of the money and Mr. Hansen telephoned to the cashier of Hartman & Thompson and was in formed the check was a forgery. In each Instance the checks were made payable to Sivener and J. R. Rice was signed to one and Thomas R. King to the other. Hansen promptly notified the police and later, on learning that Sloan had also been victimized, in formed him of the worthlessness of the check he had cashed. , Boys Show Wireless Telegraph.

When you must have the services of a doctor, isn't it best to -go to one who will tell you all about your trouble and not charge you for it? Then when you know positively -what ails you, isn't is best to know just what it will cost you to set well? . . Certainly it Is.

This Is the way I run my business on a strictly business basis. You're every bit as wise as I am when you commence treat ment with me. I examine you and tell you all about your trouble, and it doesn't cost you a cent. Then I tell you how I'll cure you. how loni it will take and Just what it will cost.

PORTLAND. ORKGON. Keep Cascarets in your pocket. Take one as soon as you need it. It is old fashioned and wrong to take harsh doses of physic. We all live unnaturally. Our food is too fine, too rich and too plentiful. We eat too little fruit, too few green vegetables. We don't exercise enough. The result is, our bowels get clogged ; for Nature in tended us to live in a different way. What shall we do? Shall we walk ten miles a day? Shall we diet our selves? Shall we seek for more laxative, and less costive effect in our food ? Or shall we take Cascarets ? -One way will serve just as well as the other. Cascarets are vegetable laxatives. Their action is as natural as the action of fruit, of coarse food or of exercise. They are gentle. They persuade the bowels never drive them or Irritate them. They are candy tablets, and the dose is one at a time just as soon as you know that you need it. It is wrong to take harsh physic and to wait till you need a big dose. It is better to keep at your best, every hour of every day. And on Cascaret at a time is sufficient. That means to keep clean inside. Cascarets are candy tablets.

You've probably been treated for so-called weakness and helped tem porarily or not at all, and the rea son is Very apparent when cause of loss of power in men is understood. Weakness is merely a symptom of chronic inflammation of the pros tate gland, which my treatment " removes, thereby permanently re storing strength and vigor. CONTRACTED DISORDERS. Tou can depend upon a quick and thorough cure by my treatment. A quick cure is desirable because a slow cure is apt to be no cure at all, and a chronic development will come later. I cure you beyond the possibility of a relapse and in half the usual time required. REFLEX AILMENTS. Often the condition appearing to be the chief disorder is only a reflex ailment resulting from some other disease. Weakness sometimes comes from varicocele or stricture; skin and bone diseases result from blood poison taint, and physical and mental decline follow long standing functional disorder. My long experience in treating men enables me to determine the exact conditions that exist and to treat accordingly, thus removing every damaging cause and its effects.
