1B THE 3IORXIXG OREGOXIAN. TIIURSDAT, APRIL 15, 1909. POSTAL SERVICE TO BE IMPROVED Young Would Alter Portland Office to Meet Greatly creased Demands. MORE WINDOWS NEEDED Plan Is to Ioublc Stamp and Gener al lellvcry Facilities After Mail Ins IivlIon Is Moved Xearer Depot. Authority nill b asked of the depart ment by Postmaster John C. Young to make extensive changes In the Portland postofrire. and Mr. Youni Is now prepar ing data to accnmpany'hls requests. The work of the posvofTlce la now handl rappod hy lack of room and the first step "rued Is the removal of the mailing dlvl Hi..n from the Federal building to the vl tlnlty of the rnlon Station. When this is aecotnpli.shed there will be an oppor tunity to establish more general delivery aim stamp windows and to increase the force of clerks and carriers and enable all to do effective work. Mr. Youiiit says that there Is a daily stream of complaints coming to him con cerning poor service at the general de livery and stamp winnows. The postmas ter says thai the office force is not In any way to blumc ftr delays or other causes of complaint, but that the fault lies wholly with the cramped condition of the fiuartera In which they are com pelled to work. Quarters Are Hacllv Crowded. The employes In the mailing division are also hundk-apped by the crowded con dition and as a result find it Impossible properly to work" the outgoing mail. T he railway mall clerks are continually complaining of the way mall la received from the Portland office. Some time ago the department had un der consideration the purchase of the property ocoupied by the Auto Dispatch fonipnny near the I'nton Station, but the recent purchases by the Terminal Com pany blocked the plan. Several other places near the station are under con sideration for quarters for the mailing di vision. It will first be necessary to obtain the permission of the Treasury Department to remove the equipment from the Fed eral building. This equipment is the property of the department and must be accounted for. An application for this permission has been made by the First Assistant Postmaster-General and when 11 Is given an agent will be sent here from San Francisco to select a location for the mailing division. I.onjr Lines Are Vsual. Postmaster Young desires to Increase the number of stamp windows from two to four and the number of general de livery windows from four to eight. At the stamp window, particularly, the con gestion of business is a source of com plaint. Frequently lines form far out into the corridors. The lack of room in the general delivery department makes It Impracticable to keep a card system of forwarding addresses and the old book method Is In use which leads to frequent errors. . Additional clerks and carriers are also badly needed. The carriers now number 118. Two more wnl be added April 16 and Postmaster Young has applied for several more to begin work May 1. lie says he nhnuld have about 15 more carriers and will ask for a larger Increase to take ef fect with the availability of the new ap propriation July 1. The clerks number i about 70 and a half dozen more are needed. . Mr. Young says that the principal diffi culty has been that the post off ice facili ties have not kept pace with the growth of the city. A material increase above the natural growth of Portland is expect -d for the postofflce this Summer, as the result of the heavy travel to be caused by the Alaska-Yukon-Poeifle Exposition In Seattle. The statistics he Is now pre paring he beltevea will amply justify the changes and Increases in the working lorce lor which he will apply.

Powers, Deceased. EUGENE, Or., April 14. (Special.) The sudden death of Albert S. Powers at his home on West Elev enth street, Monday, marks the paas lng of one of Lane County's best known pioneers. Alfred 8. Powers was born at Big Flat. New York. April 5. 1833. He eroaaed the plains in 1853 and settled near Springfield. In Lane County, where he followed his trade aa cabi net maker for several years, later moving to McKensle Bridge, where he lived many yeara. He served Lane County in the House of Repre sentatives at one time. Six years ago Mr. Powers moved to Eugene to live. He leaves a wife and one son. Glen O. Powers, at Blue River. on the expensive wicker seat In front of him. Orders Just Issued by the op erating department of the local trac tion company forbid this comfortable American pose on the part of the com muter bound to and from his daily toll. This attitude was only possible here tofore on cars with short cross seats, that are run nrincinallv nn th into,. uroun lines, where the tedium of the trip might be relieved lv an occa sional nap. Hereafter passengers must n oon upngnt ana not assume a hnrl zomai attitude.

The order was therefore posted without loss or time to guard against future occurence of that kind. Another recent order came about in the same way. Crosscut saws are no longer allowed on the streetcars, be cause one was being carried on a front platform one day when a woman en tered the car and her dress was torn by the teeth of the saw. The company had another dress to pay for. Patrons of the streetcars find an other blow to their personal liberty In the latest order. With smoking, standing on platforms and avoiding payment of fare, by reason of the "pay-before-you-get-ln" cars, under the ta boo, passengers must now also sit up right and not frown on the conductor if he enforces the various rulings Im posed for the proper conduct of the nickel producers.

NEW ORDER ISSUED;! Wireless Stations Will Aid Hy drographic Office. SERVICE, FOR NAVIGATORS Reports From Vessels at Sea Will Be Forwarded to Nearest Branch Without Delay Many Messages Formerly Went Astray. A. G. 'Wlnterhalter, chief of the Hy drographlc Service of the United States, has, through the Navy Department, caused an order to be Issued to all operators of Government, wireless sta tions to receive and to transmit all messages from vessels at sea, and marl time reports, to the nearest branch hydrographlc office. The order was issued on recommendation of John Mc Nulty, nautical expert In charge of the Portland branch hvdroa-ranhlr- nfftr. SfuVera.1 weeks a Captain Parsons.

The operator at North Head failed to forward the message to the hydrographlc office. When asked for an explanation he said he had re ceived no orders to act for that branch of the Government service. Mr iue Nulty took the matter up and discov ered that orders to forward such mes sages naa never been Issed. and that a large number of wireless messages nom sm naa never reached their des tination. A roport was nrenared for th ehi of the bureau, and yesterday the of ficer in charge of the local branch was advised that the necessary order had been Issued and that all messages sent to the hydrographlc offlce from vessels at sea would henceforth be delivered. Many of the merchant vessels on the Pacific Coast are now equipped with wireless telegraphic apparatus, and as the hydrographlc office depends largely on the merchant marine for In formation, the effect of the new order will be great. Reports of derelicts, floating logs,etc., will be published Im mediately. Twin Cities to Make Initial Trip.

Claude Huffman, a young man who lives at 507 Roselawn avenue. University Park, was held up at the muzzle of a revolver, and robbed of 6 last night just before midnight four blocks beyond the end of the Fulton carline. Huffman had been visiting a family by the name of Han son and was returning to the car, carry ing a hen in a sack. The thug came upon him from the rear and commanded him to throw up his hands. It was so dark the victim could not get even a vague idea of the man's appearance. The robber searched his victim's pockets and then or dered him to proceed. Huffman was badly frightened and thanked the highwayman for letting him go without injury. He was permitted to keep his watch and the hen. Captain of Police Moore sent Patrolmen Brothers and Johnson to search the vicin ity for the footpad but no trace of him was found. The theory exists In the Police Department that the holdups com mitted frequently in Fulton are done by a resident of that' vicinity and probably some quiet detecttve work will be done to ferret out the culprit.

TALK TO MEM ON Contagious Blood Poison BY Dr. Taylor, the Leading Specialist On account of its frightful hideousness Syphillis or Contagious Blood Poison Is com monly called the king of all venereal dis eases. It may be either hereditary or con tracted. Once the system Is tainted with it, the disease may manifest itself in the form of scrofula, eczema, rheumatic pains, stiff or swollen joints, eruptions or copper-colored spots on face or body, little ulcers In the mouth or on the tongue, sore throat, swollen tonsils, falling out of the hair or eyebrows, and, finally, a leprous-like decay of the flesh and bones. If you have any of these or similar symptoms, you are cordially in vited to consult me immediately. If I find your fears .are unfounded. I will quickly un burden your mind. But If your constitution is Infected with poisonous virus I will tell you so frankly and show you how to get rid of It. My special treatment for Conta gious Blood Poison Is practically the result of my !ife work, and is Indorsed by the bert physicians of America and Europe. It con tains no dangerous drugs or Injurious medl- clnes of any k nd. It goes to the very bottom of the disease and force, out every particle of Impurity. Soon every sign and symptom of Con tagious Blood Poison disappear completely and forever.

Nothing applied externally can ever reach the seat of this trouble; the most such treatment can do is soothe the pains temporarily; while potash and other mineral medicines really add to the acidity of the blood, and this fluid therefore continually grows more acrid and vitiated. Then instead of nourishing the different muscles and joints, keeping them in a normally supple and elastic condition, it gradually hardens and stiffens them by drying up the natural oils and fluids. Rheumatism can never be cured until the blood is purified. 8. S. S. thoroughly cleanses and renovates the circulation by neutralizing the acids and driving the cause from the system. It strengthens and invigorates the blood so that instead of a sour, weak stream, depositing acrid and painful corrosive matter in the muscles, joints and bones, it nourishes the entire body with pure, rich blood and permanently cures Rheumatism. S. S. S. contains no potash, alkali or other harmful mineral, but is made entirely of roots, herbs and barks of great purifying and tonic properties.
