Regular service between Portland and Fan Francisco that will give local mer chants a service from New York every two weeks by connections with fortnlght Jy ships to Am Francisco from Salinas Cruz of the American-Hawaiian Steam ship Company is promired by C. W. Cook, Paclrtc Coast manager of that com pany, who has written to President S-wicert of the Chamber of Commerce. A new steel steamer has been chartered exclusively for this business. The new service will be Inaugurated on January 15 and will be tried by the company for a whole year. The object of the new line will be to Rive a good, regular steamship service between New Tork and Portland. The decision of the American-Hawaiian company to put on an Improved service to this port followed negotiations carried on between President Swigert of the Chamber of Commerce and Mr. Cook. The letter announcing the new service was rHeivea irum i. wiv j . . He wrote to Mr. Swigert as follows from his Rin Francisco office: i The business at Portland has Deen given a great deal of thought by all of us here and In New York as well, and taking this situation In conjunction with the fact that the business Into Portland lias increased to a very gratifying extent, our president has finally authorized me to put on a steamer between San Fran cisco and Portland, connecting here with our fortnishtly ships from Salinas Cruz. This will give Portland merchants a ser vice from New York every two weeks in stead of every three, as heretofore, and will consequently reduce the time on the 1nst New York sailing seven days, and will enable your merchants to get goods forward with more regularity and per . mit them to carry smaller stock and make a more prompt turnover of thorn. -We have chartered a new steel steamer exuluslvely for tills business. If she pays her wav. "so much the better for us: but It has been decided that her principal business, and the real reason for her existence will be the moving of the New York freight to Portland and if any otlier business Interfered with this, the other business must be sacrlllced. She Is entirely in our own hands as regards management, and we are going to try It out on these lines for a year and if this is as successful as we hope It will b. w.- shall no doubt have to provide soiiithing permanent for this trade. The new service will be inaugurated the lr.th of this month, and our chartered steamer .will bring up the cargo from the .Missourian which would ordinarily J-.ave reached ynu'-'port in tho Nevaoan January S-'and if it comes up in good order, as 1 believe It will, and arrives there on the ISth. your merchants should lave no complaint, and I hope they will not." Drydock Is Closed Down. Weather conditions have put a stop to the contemplated repairs to the schooner William Bowden. Ice has formed so r.ipidlv in the lower canal that the schooner cannot b- lifted on the dock. The Bowden was badly cut by floating Joe on the occasion f her last voyage to Portland.

LUCAS STAYS CALM Advance Criticisms Fail Arouse His Fears. to STROUTHERS' WORK TELLS Seems Successful In Arousing In terest in Butte "Brick" Dever- caux "ot to Be Taconra Man ager Gossip of Diamond. BY W. J. PETBA1X. Would-be baseball promoters In Butte. Helena and Salt Lake City, who have not yet been asked to aaslst President Lucas in organizing the Intel-mountain League, are sendlru? out frequent notices to the effect that those towns will not stand for Inferior baseball. President Lucas yesterday announced that he was perfectly cognizant of tlta criticisms being circulated, but added that such things, while always expected from Jealous quarters, were not likely to be fraught with any harmful Influences at this time, for the fans are now more in terested In how long the Ice is going to last than they are in the promotion of ba.seball leagues. President Lucas, who. In addition to his duties as helmsman of the Northwestern League, is likely to be elected chieftain of the Intermountain, stated that he was well pleased with the progress being made in the work of promoting the new circuit. Yesterday he received a letter from Jack Flannery. Chief of Police of Helena. Mont., who once upon a time was a fa vorite balltosfier on the Helena and Ta coma clubs, and Is assured by the ex balltosser that Helena will gladly enter the Intermountain League and will bs prepared to place a splendid team in the field. Stroutliers Hard at Work. Conny Strouthers, the former big league player and umpire Is busily engaged in working up the Interest in Butte and seems likely to prove most successful for the reason that he is giving the Butte people a chance to invest in the club which privilege was withheld from them by Kuss Hall. Dad Glmlin. the veteran piayer and league organizer of Ogdcn is enthusiastic over the prospects of the new league, for lie appreciates that a league extending Into three states will be much more . popular than a single state affair as proposed in the separate organizations planned by the opposition forces for Ctah and Montana. Glmlin believes that Boise and Pocatello In Idaho would prove strong factors In making the circuit a success1, and Is said to be strongly in favor of the latter city as the sixth club in the circuit. Campbell May Take Boise. "Wee Willie" Campbell, the former Portland and Seattle player who is now reserved by Aberdeen, will be free to accept the management of any club he so desires, and is said to be thinking s?riously of taking the Job of piloting the Eolse club. In the event that he Is not successful at Boise it is possible that he will be called upon to assume the reins at Pocatello. or some other Intermountain city to be comprised In the league. The Intermountain League will be an assured fact inside of a few weeks, and all doubtful personages will then be called upon to root for Its success or retire to the silent corner. Brown on Pugdale Music Cart. Bob Brown seems to have mounted the Dugdale band wagon in becoming en rolled among the doubting Thomases who scout the class of the Pacillc Coast League. And Bob lias profited Immensely lv such ex-Coast League players as Bnet teger Andy Anderson, Householder. Van Buren. Starkell, Califf. Pernoll. Streib and Thompson, who were not fast enough for the Pacific Coast circuit. Brown has the following in the Spokane Chronicle: The only bad thing about the formation or tne a a it-",. ... . lergues In It are allowed the prlvlllege of drafting territory. Of course this may be limited so that no liaim can be done by the ''A A s hut I know If the Coast league should decide to grab Seattle or some other Northwestern League town, there would be an awful howl.

AYER CO., Manufacturing Chemistsv)1;i NEWTRAIN FASTEST Through Service Between Chi cago' and Seattle Planned. TAKES EFFECT NEXT MAY Great Northern to Rnn Daily Train Each 'way Quickest Tim Be tween Chicago and Coast on Any Line. According to plans well matured, the Great Northern Railway will be the first of the large transcontinental lines to establish through service between Chicago and Seattle. Effective May 23, the "Oriental Limited," the Great Northern's crack passenger train, will leave Chicago tor Seattle every day at 10:15 P. M. via the Burlington and Great Northern routes, reaching Seat tle at 8 P. M. the third day. Eastbound this train will leave Seattle at 8 P. M., arriving at Chicago at 10 P. M. on the third day. 'This schedule not only equals but exceeds the time made by any other fast train . between Chicago and the Pacific Coa3l," said H. Dickson, city passenger agent for the Great North ern, yesterday. "It represents a run ning distance of 2259 miles in 71 hours and 45 minutes, westbound, less than three days, and Y2 hours eastbound. The present service, which is as fast as by any other route, is made in 76 hours and 45 minutes westbound, and 79 hours and 47 minutes eastbound. Under the new arrangement, when a traveler le.aves Seattle for Chicago he wilt Bpend one night less on the road than he is doing at present. "The nearest approach to this time across the continent is made by the Santa Fe between Chicago and Los Angeles, tho fastest of their trains covering a distance of 2267 miles in 72 hours westbound, and 71 hours and 60 minutes eastbound. The Rock Island's limited train between Chicago and Los Anseles runs 2273 miles in 71 hours. Go minutes westbound, and 72 hours eastbound. The 'Overland Limited' of the Harriman lines between Chicago and San Francisco, that is via the Northwestern, Union Pacific and South ern Pacific routes, covers a distance of 2278 miles, westbound, in 76 hours, 28 minutes, and 72 hours eastbound. "Every passenger-carrying car of the 'Oriental Limited, including coaches, tourist and sleeping-cars, dining-cars and compartment observation-cars, will run through to Chicago without change. "The details of the service to and from Portland have not been worked out as yet, but an arrangement will be made to give good connection at Spokane with all through trains. "On the sams date the Great North ern will establish through train service between Seattle and Kansas City via the Great Northern and Burlington routes through Billings. The Kansas City train will leave the main line of the Great Northern at Shelby, crossing Montana through Great Falls, and via the Billings cutoff. This new train, it is expected, will leave Seattle at 6 P. M- arriving at Spokane about 8 A. M., and Kanpas City at 7:30 A. M. the third day. Westbound this train will reach Seattle about 8 A. M. Details as to equipment and exact time of train will be announced later. "It is expected that about February 28 an additional local train will be put In between Seattle and Spokane, leaving either end about 6 P. M., and arriving at terminals at 8 A. M. This will be very convenient for business .. knih Soottlo and Spokane who desire to leave after business hours and reach terminal early next morning. This train will probably be merged with the Burlington train, which will be placed in service later on." RAILROAD OFFICIALS CONFER Transportation Subjects to Be Con sidered at Meeting Here Today. There will be a conference of railroad officials of the various lines in the Pa ciiic Northwest here today, opening at 10 A M. in the offices of William McMurray, general passenger agent for the Harri man lines, in the Wells-Fargo building.

DONT BE A WEAK AN No Man Is Stronger Than His Weakest Part Few Men Have Perfect Strength If I were asked to point, out a man in full and perfect strength, I would not look for the one with the largest muscles, the strongest frame nor the ablest in physical endurance. It is true that strength of the muscles, cords and sinews must be built upon the foundation of good vitality, but on the other hand it is most easily undermined when the vitality is impaired. I would rather choose a man that I knew had true vigor, that I knew had undergone no early dissipation, that , had no spermatorrhoea, varicocele or hydrocele, and who was not suffering from any latent disease such as contracted disorders and contagious blood poison. Men who are free and clean from diseases and weaknesses of this special nature have better vim, more energy and vitality, and who accomplish most in every field of endeavor. Weakness Wrecks Men's Lives Many a youth of splendid promise has failed because of some weak ness the 'nature of which made him delay seeking medical aid until t it had become serious and greatly injured his life's opportunities. 1 have seen thousands of these cases, and have heard the story ot their suffering. Usually there is also a history of incompetent treatment by family doctors, patent medicines, electric belts and unprincipled medi cal institutes and so-called "specialists." PAY WHEN CURED WEAKNESS Functional weakness in men is in reality a comparatively simple ail ment, and is but a symptom of lo cal disorder, a state of chronic in flammation of the prostate gland. No stimulating treatment, whether Internal or locally applied, can do more than excite temporary activ ity. By my system of local treat ment I restore absolutely normal conditions throughout the organs Involved, which promptly results in complete and permanent restora tion of strength and vigor. This treatment is original with me, and Is the only radical and certain euro yet devised. VARICOCELE Vyicocele is a relaxation, knot ting and twisting of the most vital blood vessels of the organic sys tem. It stagnates the local circu lation and interferes with the pro cesses of waste and repair. Neg lect brings derangement of func tions and injury to the general health. Most physicians resort to surgical operations and hospital treatment. I cure Varicocele in cu days 10 to 1 ve0aVsocesSful rct.en out of town.

CORSKK KKCO.M), l-OKTI.AMJ, OHKfJON. will also have a representative in attend ance at the conference. Steamship transportation matters are to be considered, and in addition to that subject, the compulsory purchase of tick ets In Washington before passengers board trains will also be advocated. At present all railroads operating in that state have trouble because passengers get aboard trains without buying tickets. Under the law of the state the railroads cannot now exact any penalty from pas sengers who do not purchase tickets be fore getting aboard the train. It Is be lieved the Washington Railroad Commis sion will be asked to assist the railroads In this matter, for they feel that where they maintain ticket offices the public should purchase tickets, making it easier for the train conductors.
