TAKES POWDER TO MANILA Trans-r-lfic Business Falls Off liravlly Little Demand In Japan and China for Klonr or Lum ber Xcw of AVaterfront. February 11 has been set as the palling date for the Portland A Asiatic steamship Nicomedia. Freight offer ings for the vessel are slo 7 and for that reason her stay in port will be - lunger than usual. She lias taken on board during the past few days only a small amount of lumber and only h little flour has been offered for shipment to Japan. Manila has been added to the list of ports at which the Nicomedia will call on this voyage. She will carry to that place for the Government 84 tons of powder and 28 tons of empty shells. . Trans-Parlflc business has fallen off greatly .durlnsr the past three months. On the last homeward voyage of the big Hill liner Minnesota she had only :.". tons of cargo and IS passengers. It is reported that the Pacific Mail boats and the vessels of the Japanese line are not carrying anywhere near capacity. SOVSD TO HAVE SHIP AGENCY Plan to Facilitate Handling of Ves sels Proposed. TACOMA. 'Wash.. Feb. 3. A movement which will facilitate the hand ling of ships, and which will tend to ben efit the district of Puget Sound and Ta soma. is now under way In the possible formation of an agency for the handling of all the Norwegian, German, French and British sailing shine. This will be most comprehensive move ment of any in the shipping line on Puget Sound, and will, it is believed, be of advantage, to the shipowners. In that it will be possible to handle the ships more easily and will be less cumbersome than the present method. The plan is to make the foreign Consuls Irfre agents for all the sallins-shlp lines of he above-named countries, and pos sibly" tramp lines of steamers. Advocates of i-he movement say that a great deal of exiense can be saved the shipowners, as -fne Consuls, acting as agents, will be on the spot all the time, to look after the In terests of the line represented.

Eastern Man Must Weigh In at 165 Pounds and Get Four . Falls, in Hour. Wrestling Instructor Eddie O'Connell and John Berg, known among the wrestling fans as "Young Hacken schmidt," signed articles last night to meet in a handicap match in Portland to take place on February 18. Young Hackenschmidt agrees to throw O'Connell four times in one hour of ac tual wrestling time. O'Connell Is to ap pear at any weight he pleases, while "Hack" agrees to make 165 pounds on the day of the match. O'Connell refused to post any forfeit and Berg has agreed to the arrangement. The choosing of a referee was the bone of contention for awhile, but It was finally decided to ask M. J. Dwyer to officiate. Dwyer was se lected because he is known personally to both men. This match has been hanging fire for several weeks, for O'Connell had decided that he did not care to make any more handicap matches. But as O'Connell had no other match in sight for this month, he decided to take on the pupil of the famous "Russian Lion." February 18 Is named on condition that the rink Is ob tainable for that night. Otherwise It will be put on as near that time as pos sible. Berg expresses himself as confident he can accomplish the task which he has set for himself, while O'Connell Is equally as confident of victory. This match, while a handicap affair, will prove one of the best cards yet put on in Portland. While this match was being arranged. Con Albright of Rochester. N. Y., ar rived in Portland on his way to Los An geles and immediately Issued his defy to O'Connell. Albright is a welter-weight and last July met O'Connell in a match at Rochester. In this match the wres tlers contested for 2 hours and 10 min utes and neither secured a fall, and Al bright declares O'Connell refused to meet him again. O'Connell last night said he would- not meet Albright this month, but might consider his proposi tion at a later date.

PLANS BEING PERFECTED Professors From 'Washington Agri cultural College to Deliver and Illustrate Lectures on Sci entific Husbandry. Following Its policy of aiding the farmer by means of lectures and dem onstrations conducted on trains that visit the farming communities and in terest the farmer without taking him away from his home town, the O. R. & N. will operate a farming demonstra tion train throughout Eastern Wash ington late In March. The exact route has not yet been decided, but in all probabilities the train will visit the following places, In addition to others: Guy, Colfax, Elberton, Garfield, Facm ington. Rockford. Fairfield, Thorn ton. Sunset. St. John, Winona, Diamond, Endicott, LaCros.se, Dayton, Waitsburg, Prescott and Walla Walla. Lectures and demonstrations on board the train will be conducted by professors of the Washington Agricul tural College, located at Pullman, Wash. A competent corps of instruc tors will accompany the train and give lectures and actual demonstrations of nMAtlnal r,i-mln0 YTlothnriS fit PVCrV stop. The train to be operated in March Is the best "farmers' special" yet sent .. - i . i i. i. i- out Dy xne u. hiluuubh - similar to those run In the past. The exhibits carried will, however, be more attractive and the lectures are calcu lated to be more Instructive and Inter esting. The train will be operated under the Immediate supervision of R. B. Miller, head of the traffic department of the Harriman lines in this territory, who takes a personal Interest In his work. He will accompany the train In person and give his attention to making the trip as great a success as possible. "Our success In operating former trains has Induced us to do more work along this line," said Mr. Miller in dis cussing the train. "The results will become more apparent and far-reaching with the operation of succeeding trains and the wider dissemination of the practical knowledge given the farmers in the lectures and demonstrations. The farmers generally are much In terested and are eager to receive more knowledge along the lines of modern agriculture, profiting by the experience of men who have made a life study of the science. The whole proposition is one that Is very much In the public interest. "Animal husbandry will he given spe cial attention on the coming trip. More livestock in the territory to be covered by the train is highly desira ble. The many advantages that are realized by the farmer from that in dustry show it to be of the greatest Importance. Prominence is given to livestock because of the need for the development of this Industry and the extent to which It has been neglected In the past. The growing of beef cat tle, hogs, mutton, and all kinds of stock will be stimulated by the trip." The train will be out about ten days and will run special over the Wash ington division. Stops of about two hours will be made In each town visited. IMPRACTICAL, SAYS JOSSELYN Automatic Couplers Cannot Be Used on Streetcars, He Declares. That the bill now being considered at Salem requiring automatic couplers to be attached to all streetcars is Ill-advised is the opinion of President Josselyn, of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Com pany. He says it would interfere seri ously with the operation of cars on the city lines, and in fact be entirely imprac ticable. "We already have automatic couplers on most of the O. W. P. Interurban cars," said Mr. Josselyn. "But on account of the length of the city cars and the short turns at street-corners, the automatic couplers could not be used, as the cars would uncouple of themselves In going around short curves. This matter is han dled quite fully by the Interstate Com merce Commission and the Oregon Rail road Commission. They are familiar with the subject and I am informed they do not desire any general legislation on the subject, but prefer It should be left to the Commission to insist that automatio couplers be applied where they can be used without detriment to the service. This will be better, I am sure, than to pass a law that is impossible of execu tion." Freight Agents Name Officers. Officers for the ensuing year were elec ted by the Local Freight Agents' Asso ciation at a recent regular meeting. F. D. Hunt, traffic manager for the O. W. P. lines of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company, was chosen presi dent of the association. W. C. Wilkes, local freight agent for the North Bank line, was elected vice-president, and N. L. Atkins, with the Oregon Electric Railway, was elected secretary- and treasurer. This . association handles matters of mutual interest to freight agents and has been the means of pro moting a feeling of brotherhood among local railroad men. Floods Affect Train Service.

EXPERT AT Financial Transactions of the Various Officers Are to Be Checked Up. ACTION TAKEN BY COURT Although Law Provides Books Shall Bo Kxamined Annually, "Work Has Sot Been Done in Multno mah for Xearly Six Years. Appointment of art accountant to ex pert the books of the various county of ficials was made yesterday by the County Court. The work of going over all public documents and accounts has already been taken up and will be prosecuted vigor ously until the work Is completed. Although the state law requires that the County Auditor shall go over these accounts each year, the books of the county have not been, examined for nearly six years and the integrity of the various officials has" been the only as surance that there have been no Irregu larities. While County Judge Webster in ap pointing J. W. Ferguson to expert the county books, said that the appointment has no significance and that no suspicion of any sort is directed at any Individual or department, yet the matter was ' the sole topic of discussion about the Court house yesterday, and Dame Rumor spent the busiest day in years. Judge Webster gave it as his opinion that the affairs of every county offlcjal are in the very best shape. In comment ing upon the action of the court in or dering the work done after the failure of Auditor Brandes to act, he said that the Auditor possibly had no facilities for exporting the books. At least, after the books had gone unchecked for six .years, the court thought that they should be gone over as a matter of form. Simply ' Matter of law. "I am sure the various officers are only too glad to have their books checked up," said Judge Webster. "This is purely a matter of compliance with the law and has no significance beyond that." The expert's work will begin with the office of Treasurer Lewis. The departments- of County Clerk Fields and of Sheriff Stevens will then be gone through, after which the records in Auditor Brandes' office will be checked over. The accounts and affairs of the County Com missioners will also be placed at the dis posal of the accountant. Accountant Ferguson took up his work yesterday forenoon and will likely be busy in the various offices for several months. In every office an almost end less array of detail has accumulated In the past six years and the Job Is a gigantic one. In the Sheriff's office, Mr. Ferguson will check up only as far back as the ad ministration of Mr. Stevens extends. It appears that Ferguson served as a deputy under Sheriff Word's administra tion and for that reason the period back of three years ago when fitevens won the Silence! WORK COUNTY BOOKS The instinct of modesty natural to every woman is often a great hindrance to the cure of womanly diseases. Women shrink from the personal questions of the local physician which seem indelicate.

The various officials expressed them selves as pleased that the examination has been ordered. Auditor Brandes, in discussing his reasons for not having an annual examination of the records and books, said he does not understand that to be a part of his duty. Further than to check up on the receipts and dis bursements of money, nothing is really exacted of the Auditor In the way of ex perting the accounts, so Mr. Brandes said last night. "My department ie wide open and I am only too glad that an expert Is coming around soon." Citizenship Fees to Be Looked XTp. It is known that the disposal of re ceipts from citizenship fees in'the County Clprkra office is to be made a matter of inquiry, among other routine investi gation of the records of that department. At this time Mr. Fields gets half of the fees thus collected. The money goes to his personal use. He also draws Interest on considerable sums in litigation, money entrusted to his care by the Circuit Court. These perquisites amount up to several thousand dollars a year and the question is being raised as .to his authority for taking the money. For in stance, when a Deputy County Clerk, hired and paid by the county, makes out citizenship papers while on duty In the County Clerk's office, should the proceeds of that transaction go into the treasury or the County Clerk's pocket? Mr. Fields, In discussing this matter, said . last night that he welcomed a full investigation of the subject. Ad mitting that these perquisites -are en Joyed by him and have been during his term of office, he said he has taken every cent under full authorization of the law. "Making of citizens is a function of .the Government," said Mr. Fields. "The naturalization laws and regula tions of October, 1906, provide that one half of all fees shall go t the Govern ment and one-half to the County Clerk. I wrote to the Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization for an interpreta tion of that rule and my rely was that the money might be taken by the Clerk for his personal use and benefit. Draws No Interest on County Money "As to drawing interest on county money I do not do that. All money re ceived by me In county fees I turn over to the County Treasurer : each month. But money given to me by the courts as custodian pending the course of some litigation I put out at Interest. I am always In a position to make an Immediate settlement and I am person ally responsible. If a bank fails I have to make good any litigation money which may be deposited In It." Notwithstanding this there seems to be a conflict between the laws of the State of Oregon and the naturalization laws put out by the Department of Commerce and Labor. Bearing oh the subject, it is pointed out that Section 2570. General Laws of Oregon, says: "Said County Clerk shall receive an annual salary of $3000 and shall re ceive no other fees or emolumencs." And in Section 2. of Chapter 213, an amendment is shown to Sections 3017, 3018, 3019 and 3020, regulating the fees to lie collected in all counties of the state containing more than 60,000 In habitants. This amendment expressly provides for the collection by the clerk In such a county of fees for all pa pers in connection with the making of citizens and demands an accounting to the treasurer for all money so collected.

TAYLOR Co. 234V4 MORRISON STREET, C0RXER SECOND, PORTLAND, OIL VARICOCELE RUINS THE LIVES OF THOUSANDS OF MEN Varicocele is the greatest strength sapping scourge- that afflicts men. Its influence reaches out over the entire vital organism, robbing the nerves, the stomach, the heart and brain of the nutrition which nature sends to them. The cause of Varicocele Is a con gestion of blood. The circulation is checked and almost stopped. The blood vessels become twisted and distended. The affected parts, thus deprived of life blood, gradually waste away, and a general break down in health often results. The only way to cure Varicocele Is to remove the congestion of blood. Drugs don't do that. They never did and never will. The surgeon's knife will lo it. of course, but that leaves you just part of a man. The best way is to help nature cure. Electro-Vigor does that. It sends a gentle but powerful current of " electric life Into the affected parts, decomposes the stagnant fluid and cleanses the veins by promoting a vierorous circulation of warm, healthy blood, which carries off all Impurities and restores them to their natural healthy condition.
