20 KENNEDY BEATS STEAMER FLYER Crack Puget Sound Vessel Is Distanced by Portland Built Craft. BOAT MEETS SPEED TEST Officials of Willamette Iron Works Return o Portland Xew Craft Is Accepted for Port Orchard ICoute Is Klne Sea Boat. VUtb the return to Poitland of the crew and the few members of a little party which took the steamer H. B. Kennedy around to Seattle, come many interesting ""mints of what proved to have been a decidedly eventful and exciting cruise the outcome of which is most flattering o the ability i t Portland as a shipbuild ing community. ivTii lf-B- Kennedy left the dock of the v lllamette lr & stcel Works at 11 A Saturday morning, in charge of Cau .aln J. F. Blain. and from that time un til her acceptance by ner owners on .ir1!?2ay her Performance was en- LlTr m ",a,",faL'r.v. more than fulfilling specification requirements and proving I'Sl', , V ' l"e hK"f8t -grade passenger boat of her size on the Pacillc Coast. To test out the steaming capacity of the new vessel, she ran down to Astoria on one boiler developing a speed between h and 17 miles an hour. She laid over n Astoria for the night on account of heavy weather conditions on the bar. She crossed out Sunday morning, not withstanding the fact that the bar was In much rougher condition than would l.ullt for inland waters. Her behavior during the half hour necessary to cross the bar was magnificent. She took the heavy seas without difficulty, and with the shipment of only one comber which did no material damns- Swinging around to the north, with a brisk 25-mile sou easier snarling at her heels, she pushed along at a 17-mile speed, and proved herself to he a splendid heavy weather boat, notwithstanding the phys ical discomfort of some of the landsmen aboard, who failed to harmonize their digestive systems with the somewhat sportive tcmh-m-les of old Neptune. Reaches straits by Night. Sunday night she tied up in Port An- Jh" s,rit,ts of l-'uca. after a splendid daylight run of over ano miles The following morning she left Port n- fiVT".1 1", "nrt 1n J,,st 3 hours anJ M in I nu es had negotiated the 79 miles to Seattie and rode gracefully oft. Colman iock. where a very representative Seat tle waterfront aggregation had gathered to pass Judgment on her. This perform ance demonstrated her ability to make her four-hour endurance tost, and as it was made in the face of a brisk ebb tide, demonstrated that her speed re oulrements of miles per hour was con siderably exceeded, and. as a result the splrll "d ' b""',',!, wcre ln Jubilant Tying up about an hour to allow time for lunch, she hacked out under 2..0 pounds- pressure and chased the speedy Indianapolis, which was about one and a half miles out on her run to Tacoma. There was considerable question In the "L.'n!" f the S,,HUlp People about her anility to overhaul this speedy craft the captain of which realized the urgency, of t he case and made every effort to maka the stern chase a hopeless one. Notwith standing this, the Kennedy overhauled her In about a 12-mlle run. circled around her bow and turned hack toward Seattle to- meet the Indomitable Flyer, which for years has sustained a reputation as being the fastest boat or her type on the Pacific oast. Am she ca.ne around Alki Point the Kennedy was swung around to come abeam of her. and then ensued some very clever Jockeying on the part of the weli- ,1 , J1'0 K,Jer to condi tions Just right for the test which was about to come. The Flyer, by the way had prepared herself for the advent of the Kennedy by going Into drydock where her hull had been given a satin finish and a new bronze propeller had been Installed. When the hut. ii.. ',R?k ","ol,red a Position Just abreast of ...... ,...,, , ,. ill(.,y valves on both of them were blowing off. indicating full steam pressure, the throttles wcre opened wide and the race began. The hopes of the Hyer were very shortly dashed, for from the very beginning of the speed con test the Kennedy showed easy ability to outclass her. and after a few minutes' run the passengers of the Fiver were given a good opportunity to inspect the rapidly receding wuke of her rival. The test was continued long enough to dem onstrate that no changes could be rung In on the situation, and then the Ken nedy swung off with a parting salute and returned to Seattle, where the tinlshing touches are now being put on her before being formally turned over to her owners. Steamer Itnllt in Schedule Time. The fact that she made such a notable performance, and was moreover complet ed ln exact schedule time, is of great sat- rThVn,15- C- Ba"- U, c'-lef enVlne'er a T ,larnpte Iron & Steel Works, and Fred J Duthie. who were directlv in charge of the construction, and is a spe cal source of gratification to her de signer. Fred A. Ballln. the marine archi tect, who not only designed her for the owners, but who represented the owners as inspector of construction. This is probably the tirst opportunity that Mr. Raum has had of demonstrating Just what he can do In the wav of designing a thoroughly high-class steel passenger boat. The requirements for the Ken nedy were so exceptional ln the matter of speed and lightness that many Pacific Coast marine authorities freely prophe sied that the boat would not be satisfac tory, either In point of stability or in her fltnesa to do hard continuous work hut her performance in making the sea voyage and then running her endurance test without any Interruption, demon strates beyond ail doubt that she is Just as good as she looks, which is a very sufficient recommendation for those who have taken the opportunity of giving her thorough Inspection. The results of her ability will be of great beneiit in securing for Portland de cided preference, in the construction of the many high-speed passenger boats which are sure to be built to take care of the rapidly increasing requirements of the Pacltlc Coast. AMARANTH TO LOAI LIMBER American Barkentlne Fixed for W est -'oa-t by . v. McXear. G. W. McXear has chartered the Amer ican barkcntine Amaranth to load lumber at Portland tor the West Coast.

There has been consid- erable speculation as to whether the Ama ranth -would load hero or on the Sound It has been practically settled that she will take her cargo from this port and that another vessel will be taken for Sound loading. C. ti. Behr Passes Away in London. Cable advices received in Portland ves terday from London. England, announce the death of C. L. Behr. of the salmon importing firm of A. W. Lathan & Co.. Ixndon.

Although the rates of the Shipowners Association remain unchanged, there is a. noticeable scarcity of coastwise char ters for the past week. Some weakness also exists in off-shore business Rates to Valparaiso are 41s 3d; to Callao. 39s 9d and 40s. These rates cover coastwise shipping between Portland and Puget Sound. Optional rates to Svdnev are 30s while the schooner Golden Shore is under charter to Mollendo at 40s. Jethou Will Get Orders at Astoria.

Other Middle Western roads that hSrrt " faC,',flc Coast tension are hard put to it to equal this showing. However, they are doing everything i!yanto,overcome the Prominence thJ- Coast'. 18 SeCUHnS by bUildin he JL ,T..e St- Paul nas always had the reputation of having a staff of business getters who are hard to equal in corralling traffic for their line Competitors are fully aware of this III - and ,thls ls one f the leading reasons why efforts to get business are being redoubled, now that the St. Paul has-built into the territory where this Coast traffic originates. eTllS B"rUnSton, a close competitor of the St. Paul, has Just given Its ?n.t8i ,n,the Pacific Northwest more lattitude In handling the business of the territory. Hereafter, instead of reporting to General Agent Sheldon, at the Portland office, commercial agents at Seattle, Tacoma and Spo kane will deal directly with the head quarters offices at Chicago. The Erie Railroad has just appointed a general agent at Portland. C. B. Ba ker being named to that position. His appointment became effective yester day. Formerly the Erie maintained a freight agency here only. The Pennsylvania Railroad is under stood to be contemplating the appoint ment of a general agent at Spokane, with other soliciting agents throughout the territory, to get its share of the business originating in the territorv. The advent of the St. Paul to the Pacific Coast territory is assigned by railroad men as having caused the other lines to sit up and take notice. Warm rivalry for business throughout the Northwest is expected hereafter for the intermediate lines are prepar for a war to the knife for the traffic That it ls a rich field for ton nage was, never so fully realized as at present. REPORT IS BEING PREPARED Recommendations on Deschutes Railroad Surveys Soon Ready. Recommendations to the Department of the Interior on the subject of the Deschutes Railroad surveys up that stream from its mouth are now being pre pared and will go forward within the coming week unless they are delayed by further considerations that have not yet come up D. C. Henney, engineer In charge of the reclamation work in this state, and Supervising Engineer Hopson are now preparing the report on the 'mat ter that will be submitted to the depart ment. Complete data is at hand ln formu lating the recommendations and Mr Hop son has been through the Deschutes Can yon and ts fully informed as to the con ditions there. Just what the report will contain, whether it will favor the railroad project or will recommend the develop ment of water power along the Deschutes and irrigation projects in preference to the railroad, will not be given out by Mr Henney until the report is submitted to the proper authorities at Washington. "We are fully alive to the requirements of Central Oregon in securing railroad communication." said Mr. Henney yes terday, "and the matter is being consid ered carefully. I am Inclined to think the department will act promptly in regard to the proposition, particularly If it is found the report submitted by this office can be approved. As to our recommenda tions, of course I cannot make them pub lic. . They must go to the department first. ' NEW CHIEF ENGINEER NAMED T. H. Croswcll Appointed by Spo kane, Portland & Seattle Road. T. H. Croswell has been appointed chief engineer for the Spokane. Portland & Seattle Railway. Circulars to this effect were issued yesterday from the office of President Francis B. Clarke, the appoint ment becoming effective yesterday. The headquarters of the new official will be at Portland and offices will be maintained at Seventh and Hoyt streets, in the pres ent engineering quarters of the road, Mr. Croswell has for some time been engaged on the construction of the new North Bank road between Pasco and Spokane. Prior to that time, he was prominent ln the engineering ranks of the Northern Pacific. He was chief assistant engineer at Spokane for the Northern Pacific for several years. and be fore that was on the engineering statf of the road at St. Paul. Mr. Croswell ls a graduate of the University of Minne sota engineering school, and is regarded as a highly capable man. He was receiv ing congratulations yesterday on his ap pointment. Sunday Train Tor Woodburn Branch. Sunday train service will soon he given the Woodburn branch of the Southern Pa cific for the first time in the history of that road. At present the people of Sil verton. Mount Angel. Crabtree and other towns on the Silverton branch have to do without Sunday trains and are Inconve nienced ln consequence. Patrons of the Southern Pacific in that territory have long wanted Sunday trains and the pas senger department of the Harrimin lines has decided to grant the request. One passenger train will be operated on the Woodburn branch each Sunday on the same schedule as the present weekday service. The new train is expected to be pot on next Sunday, although possibly it will be delayed for one week. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS Park In Co. to M. H. Tower.

PORTLAND. April 1. fTo the Editor.) Through the columns of The Oregonlan I notice here Is a probability of the Puget Sound Tugboat Company continuing In the towage service on the Columbia River. If such is the case, would It not be well ln the interest of the taxpayers of the state to reflect, and call a halt ln the proposed expenditure of the Port of Portland Com mission In this direction? Why? The Puget Sound Tugboat Com E,aJ?,y. .

I speak from my own Knowledge and observation. The Port of Portland Commission is composed of men who are not experienced in this line of business: thy have no knowledge of It whatever; they do not know how to choose employes: they do not know how to stop the leaks In the operation of such busi ness as this, and their competitors have no leaks. In the matter of securing business It would be a safe prediction to say that in the face of competition that the Puget Sound Tugboat Company would secure 80 per cent of the business coming to this port and the commission would never know how It was accomplished. In the enabling act of the commission there ls a clause that can be used by the Puget -Sound Tugboat Company to the dis advantage of the commission, which with out question would be used and by which CGeeWo THE CHINESE DOCTOR This treat Chlnoa doctor is well known throughout th Korthwst bec&uxtt of his wonderful and marvelous cures, and ls today her alded by all his greatest of his kind.

Functional derangement, such as premature loss of strength, etc., ls neither a "weakness" nor a disease. It ls a symptom of prostatic disorder. To stimulate activity .by the use of powerful tonics is an easy matter but such results are merely temporary drug ef fects. Most doctors treat "weakness" in this manner because they do not know how to cure the real cause of the derangement. I am the only physician em-pioylng scientific and successful methods. My treatment is a local one entirely and corrects every abnor mal condition of that vital center, the pros . tate gland. My cures are real cures and are permanent.
