11 THE MORNING OREGONIAN. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1908. GRAIN CARGO FOR THE 1ST COAST German Ship Nordsee Clears for Callao, Peru, With Lead of Wheat. VILLE DE MULHOUSE OUT K.iports or Grain for February Amount to 1,250,000 Bushels. Cereal Year Will Break Rec ords News of Waterfront. Balfour, Gulhrlc & Co. cleared the German ship Nordsee yesterday for Callao, Peru, with S2.3-15 bushels of wheat, valued at $83,101. G. W. McNear cleared the French bark Ville de Mul house for the United Kingdom with 3 40,63:1 bushels of wheat, valued at $13f,43i. The Nordsee is the first ship to clear for the west coast of South America this season. As a general thing about one cargo clears for a South American port each year. A number of steam ers have taken part cargoes south during the present cereal year, but the grain carried by the Nordsee is the lirsr to sro direct to Callao. The clearance of the Nordsee and the Ville dc Mulhouse brings the February fleet up to 10 vessels, with a total of 1,299.841 bushels of wheat. Added to this is 17,000 barrels of flour and a considerable quantity of lum ber. For the first 17 days of January the exports amounted to 1,237,471 bushels and for a corresponding period In December to only 901,293 bushels. December was the heaviest month of the cereal year and January followed a close second. From the present out look February will rank among the highest months for the season. BARK ACME LOADING LUMBER Charter-Party Has Been Arranged and Vessel Is Working Cargo. Differences between the owners of the American bark Acme and the hold ers of the charter were adjusted yes terday and the vessel moved up to the Portland mills, where she will load a full cargo of lumber for New York. "Work on the vessel will begin this morning and she will be finished as soon as possible. The Acme arrived in the Columbia River on November 26 In ballast from Hlogo. She was in a crippled con dition, her fore, main and mizzen topgallant-masts gone. When six days out from the Japanese port the vessel whs thrown on her beam-ends. The ballast shifted and the craft would not right. For five days the vessel was in hourly danger of destruction. Cantain McKay finally ordered all the upper rigging cut away. The ship righted far enough to permit the men to work the ballast back to position. In spite of all the trouble and delay, she. crossed the Pacitlc in 31 days. After arrival in the Columbia River the Acme was surveyed and ordered repaired. The charterers contended she was unlit for service and on that account her charter was invalid. The matter has finally been adjusted to the satisfaction of both sides and the Acme is loading. OHIO SCHOOXER AT ABERDEEN" Steamer Lindsay Makes Successful Trip From Great Lakes.

HAND-TINTED SCENIC PHOTOS. Kiser's Originals.' 248 Alder at. WILL fJOT APPLY 11 Mount Hood Road Unwilling to Act in Face of Mayor' Lane's Attitude. FEARS LONG-DRAWN FIGHT Will Be Content to Enter City Over Lines or O.. K. & X. or O. W. P. Progress of Construction la Eastern Multnomah. "Realizing tle rough sledding a rail road has to encounter when it asks a franchise of any kind from the city of Portland, we shall not make a request for one; In fact, it is quite likely that we will not build into Portland at all." . This was the remarkable ' statement made by a prominent official of the Mount Hood Railway & Power Company yesterday. ' He said that the attitude of Mayor Lane is so uniformly unfriendly toward new transportation lines that de sire to build here that his company has decided to avoid the usual squabble with him over franchises. This official be lieves that the required franchise could be secured from the Council -whea the value of the new line is explained to the members but he says the Mayor's veto is used so remorselessly on all railroad fran chises that it is not worth while to en gage In the struggle to secure the fran chise over the Mayor's veto. "Mayor Iane wants to be Governor," continued the Mount Hood company offi cial. "He carries on his policy of veto ing all railroad franchises so as to ap pear to be fighting the railroads in the interests of the people when such is not the fact. He Is acting in direct opposi tion to the best interests of the city. "We do not have to come into Portland with our road, although it would be better both for our road and for Portland if we did so. It would be folly to try to enter the city at this time with a new line, for the Mayor's policy of discour aging railway enterprises is too well known. We shall not make any requests for franchises until there Is a change in the administration and perhaps not even then." May Enter Over Existing Tracks. The Mount Hood Railway is building only to the vicinity of the O. W. P. cross ing near Greaham. " Work between that point and Portland has not been started, although from Gresham out, grading for the railway line is well along. The Mount Hood road may enter Portland over either the O. W. P. tracks from the Gresham crossing, or by way of the O. R. & N. line from Montaviila into the Union Depot. What Is the more surprising in the stand taken by the Mount Hood company is the fact that already the promoters have ex pended over $200,000 for property within the city over which to run their tracks and these purchases extend from the city limits on the east almost to the Willam ette River. The original purpose of the company was not to ask for franchises along the city streets but merely to cross certain streets in order to build the tracks on the company's own property. It is believed by the company that even this concession from the city will carry with it the demand of common-user tracks, fees to the municipality, etc The com pany .believes that with the tracks laid on its own land there should be no de mauds for common-user tracks. The company's representatives say the property purchased for right of way with in the city is worth all that was paid for It and can be sold at any time for the full amount. They indicate that this Is what will be done with it and that it will not be used for the original purposes for which It was purchased. Despite this anticipated hostility to the project at the Portland end of the line, preparations are going forward rapidly for the completion of the road from the O. W. P. crossing near viresham to the power station now "being built at Bull Run. Construction crews are being as sembled and within the next three weeks about 1000 men will be put to work fin ishing up the grade for the laying of track. The object is to push the con struction through at the earliest possible moment and it is esttmated that the 20 miles of track from the O. W. P. crossing to Bull Run will be completed within 60 days after the work is started. The only reason the full construction force is not put on immediately is the uncertainty of weather for the next few weeks. Long Cut Xear Gresham. A steam shovel has been put to work and is digging a cut 24 feet deep and 1500 feet long near Gresham. Grade Is ready for track-laying from that point east with the exception of a few places. One bridge and two trestles will be built, the grade finished and the track laid. Steel rails to lay the track have arrived on the ground and trolley wire for the overhead work will be here by March L The greater number of the condemna tion suits that retarded progress on the new road have been cleared up and right of way secured. , Only a few remain to be settled. " These will be handled as ex peditiously aa possible, and as soon as the Spring weather settles, work on the Mount Hood project will be rushed. Mean while work on the power station at Bull Run Is progressing well and by the first of next year it is expected to deliver power to Portland. It is planned to have the trolley line completed during the coming Summer. Promotion for R. M. Tovrnsend. Robert M. Townsend, formerly contract agent for the light and power depart ment of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company, has been promoted to the position of property agent of the company and will have direct charge of the general office building, land depart ment and rents, Including right of way, hotels, parks, concessions, advertising and donations. He will report direct to Vice-President F. I. Fuller. O. R. & X". Directors Meet. A called meeting of the directors of the O. R. & N. Company was held yesterday afternoon In the offices of General Mana ger O'Brien. Little of general interest was transacted beyond the approval of a contract between the road and the gov ernment over the delivery of material at Hermiston for the construction of the ir rigation system now being built near that point. .

Catarrh i3 not merely a disease of tlie mucous membranes and inner linings of the body as some of the symptoms "would seem to indicate ; it is a deep-seated blood disease, in "which the entire circulation and the greater part of the system are involved. Like all other blood diseases, Catarrh comes from poisons and injpurities accumulating; in the circulation which irritate and inflame the tissues and mucous surfaces, and then the unpleas ant symptoms of the disease are manifested. There is a ringing noise in the ears, a thin, watery discharge from the nostrils, filthy matter drops back into the throat, the breath has an offensive odor, and many other annoying and unpleasant symptoms are characteristic of the trouble- Sprays, washes, inhalations, etc., cannot reach the blood, and are therefore valuable only for the temporary relief they afford. To cure Catarrh the blood must be purified. Nothing equals S. S. S. for this purpose ; it goes down into the circulation, removes the catarrhal matter, purifies the blood and makes a lasting cure. When S. S. S. has removed the cause, the blood being pure and healthy nourishes the membranes and tissues instead of irritating them with noxious matter, and the symptoms all pass away.

Cooper during the past year with his new preparation has ex ceeded anything of the kind ever be fore witnessed In most of the leading, cities where the young man has intro duced the medicine. Cooper has a novel theory. He believes that the hu man stomach Is directly responsible for most diseases. To quote his own words from an Interview upon his ar rival in an Eastern city: "The average man or woman cannot be sick if the stomach Is working properly. To be sure, there are diseases of a virulent nature, such -as cancer, tuberculosis, diabetes, etc.. which are organic, and are not traceable to the stomach, but even fevers can. In nine cases out of ten, be traced to something taken Into the stomach. All of this half-sick, nervous exhaustion that is now so common, is caused by the stomachic conditions, and it is because my rem edy will and does regulate the stom ach that I am meeting with such suc cess. "To sum the matter up a sound di Sound-Healthy-Vigorous With No Back Pains No vousness No Waste of Power No Loss of Ambition But With Plenty of Life and Energy and the Vigor of Youth. To be strong and manly is the aim of every strong man, and yet how many we find who are wasting the vitality and strength which nature gives them. Instead of developing into the strong, vigorous, manly young fol lows that nature intended them to be, they find, themselves weak, stunted and despondent no amhitlon to do anything. They struggle aimlessly along, sooner or later to become victims of that dread disease, nervous debil ity; their finer sensibilities blunted and their nerves shattered.

Mr. A. C. Brock, chef of the Brock Restaurant. Market Iistrict, Boston, Mass.. who is a staunch believer in Mr. Cooper's theory and medicine, has this to sav: "I had chronic indigestion for over three years. I suffered terribly, and lost about thirty pounds. , I was a physical wreck when I started this Cooper medicine, a month or so ago. Today I am as well as I ever was in my life. I am no longer nervous, my food does not distress me in the least, and I have a splendid appetite. I am gaining flesh very rapidly In fact, at the rate of a pound a day. I would not believe any medicine on earth could have done for me what this has done. It is a remarkable preparation and Mr. Cooper deserves all his suc cess."

You've probably been treated for so-called weakness and helped tem porarily or not at ail, and the rea son is very apparent when cause of loss of power in men is understood. Weakness is mel-cly a symptom of chronic inflammation of the pros tate glaml, which my treatment removes, therchy permanently re storing strength and vigor. CONTRACTED DISORDERS. You 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 (-tire at all. and a chronic development will come la-ter. I cure you beyond the possibility of a relapse and in half the usual time required. REKLEX AILMENTS. Often the condition appearing to be the chl:f 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 land mental decline follow long standing functional disorder. My long experience in treating men enables me to determine the exact conditions that exist nnd to treat accordingly, thus removing every damaging cause and its effects.
