from SA.X id The new rates are to
become effective October 14. when the

J. Walter Ransom, general agent
here, waa not apprised of causes lead
Ing to the move. Ills Information was
restricted to the new rates, which came
by wire. When the Bear sailed Octo
ber 4 and carried the record list of
passengers from this port. It was not
Indicated that passenger tariffs would
be lowered, aa the steerage patronage
showed an enormous Increase and flrst-
rlaas travel was above normal, but evi
dently It Is anticipated that steerage
business will not hold out with such a
rush during the month, also that there
re other ltnea to share In the busi
ness, so the cut waa probably ordered
to take effect at a time when the reve
nue will nut be so encouraging.
The second-class rate between Port
land and San Francisco has been IS for
some time, and Is not disturbed by the
new schedule. It Is not Improbable
that later first-class rates will come In
for a share of the reduction wave. They
are now sia. si and 110 between Port

the reservations selected, whether on
the upper decks and to outside or In

For more than lialf an hour the two
Sips were In communication, exchanging
the latest gossip at sea and of what let

tramp steamers have semaphores, aa are
Tused In navies, and they converse In
1 arbors and at short distances, but In
Portland the "wig-wag" Is seldom seen
In operation except on. war vessels. The
rUrathyre has a large part of her deck

The Hoche la no stranger In this har

has been looked forward to. She was
fully due when sighted and will be
given no laurels for fast sailing, but
unlike a few others of the Inbound
fleet any distress she met with was In
sufficient to cause her to put Into a
port of refuge. The craft Is consigned
to Meyer. Wilson St Company, and is

When it la taken Into consideration
that the Ianmark's main and fureyards
have a length of over 90 feet and those
of the Andromeda have little to boast
of In comparison. It Is admitted on the
beach that the Danmark has the best
prospects, for she can spread an Im
mense lot of canvas for her tonnage,
and Captain Nielsen asserts that she
can reel off 14 knots under proper con
dltlons. The Bolsdeffre has had thi
best of the Andromeda In two voyages,
beating her by five days each time, but
the Briton is primed for a better show
ing, and If his early departure gains
for him favorable weather, the result
may ba different.

ERROR IS ALLEGED
Intervention in Deschutes Case
Appealed by Howard.
HIGHER COURT TO DECIDE
Eelief Held
Plans of
That Reorganization
Irrigation Concern
Will Be Blocked by Notice
of Appeal Made.
Setting out 34 Instances In which It Is
alleged that the United States Court
erred In refusing to allow R. S. Howard.
Jr., to intervene In the foreclosure of the
assets of the Deschutes Irrigation &
Power Company, William C. Bristol, at
torney for Receiver Howard, yesterday
perfected an appeal to the United States
Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
Attorney Bristol did not request that a
writ of supersedeas Issue, commanding
that procedure In the sale of the prop
erty be discontinued pending an adjust
ment of the, controversy. It Is. however,
believed that notice of the appeal will
effectually block the reorganization plans
of the Eastern bondholders and Oregon
managers of the concern. It is also con
sidered probable that the Court of Ap
peals may cite the State of Oregon to
appear In the case and show what rights
it may have.
Irrigation Project Large.
The Deschutes Irrigation Power Com.
pany Is operating a Carey act reclama
tion project In Crook County, by which it
proposes to irrigate 114,911 acres of arid
land. All of the land was secured from
the State of Oregon upon contracts,
which required the payment of a nominal
sum per acre to the state. It Is under
stood that the State Land Board has
served notice on the Deschutes Company
to the effect that It holds the contracts
for cancellation. If that action should
be taken. It would remove the entire se
curity upon. which a bond issue of 1450.000
was floated among capitalists at Colum
bus. O.
In April the Eastern bondholders ap
peared in the United States Court and
asked that a receiver be appointed for
the company, alleging that It had failed
to pay three Installments of Interest and
that other features of tha mortgage had
been violated by the trustee, the Mer
chants' Savings & Trust Company. Par
ticular stress was laid upon the fact
that the trustee had accepted a similar
duty for an issue of second mortgage
bonds, and that no provision had been re
quired for the maintenance of a sinking
fund to redeem the first bonds.
Selling Contract Opposed.
Objection was also made to a selling
contract made with Roscoe Howard,
whereby the latter was to receive a coirw
mission of from 110 to 117.60 per acre for
colonizing the lands. It was charged that
the Howard contract would use up all the
profits of the company and that the bonds
could never be redeemed.
Soon after the appointment of the re
ceiver, it is charged that all Interests got
together and agreed upon a plan of re
organization of the company, the scheme
recognizing the Howard contract as a
first lien on the property.
R. 8. Howard, Jr.. had never been a
party to any of the litigation, although
the owner of 125,000 of the first mortgage
bonds. On learning of the details of set
tlement R. 8. Howard, Jr., began a suit
In Intervention. The court ruled that he
had let his opportunity to intervene slip
past, but that he could Intervene and
participate in the distribution oi me pro
cecds after the sale.
The appeal relies on the expectation of
having the Roscoe Howard contract de
clared Invalid as against the bondhold
ers, and on the assertion that the actions
of the trustee in agreeing to a settle
ment on behalf of the bondholders, can
not be binding on R. B. Howard. Jr. It
Is probable that the litigation will not
be determined for man months. In the
meantime the receiver will keep the prop
erty In operation in the Interests of the
several hundred settlers who have estab
lished their homes on the land.
ALLEGED STAMP THIEF HELD
Chinaman Who Bought Stolen Goods
at Discount Also In Tolls.
Bert G. Frye. the "Picture Card Kid,"
as he has been dubbed by officers of
the Government, who secured his arrest
because of his penchant for Improper
cards, waa yesterday held to the Fed
eral grand Jury in default of a bond of
11000.
Louie Chong, tha Chinese mercnant
who purchased a portion of the stamps
obtained from the robbery of the post
office at Hillsdale, was held in a simi
lar bond, but through the aid of - his
Chinese family It was immediately fur
nished and Chong given his liberty.
Chong Is believed to operate a
"fence" in the rear of his store at
Fourth and Flanders streets. By the
confession of Frye, later confirmed by
admissions of the Chinaman, postofflce
Inspectors are convinced that Chong
knew that he was purchasing stolen
goods in dealing with Frye.
Frye confessed tnat ne took a quan
tity of the S-cent stamps to the store
of Chong and offered to sell them for
IS cash. Frye did not know the total
value of the stamps, and after the bar.
gain had been made be says that he
started to count them. Chong saw the
movement and Is said to have snatched
them from the counter and placed the
stamps In a drawer back of his counter.
When arrested Chong denied the en
tire transaction, but yesterday admit
ted that he bought them from Frye and
only paid 14 for the outfit, after promts-
ng 15. Chong will claim that he did
not know the stamps had been stolen,
but the Government will urge that the
Celestial must have had suspicions or
he would not have refused to pay the
agreed price.
Frye got rid of large quantities of
the stamps stolen from Hillsdalo
through ordering goods from Eastern
houses. The gloves, shoes and other
articles of wearing apparel which were
the proceeds of his other robberies were
old. he says, by peddling among the
Chinese and Italian laborers employed
on the railroads.
OGGIXG RECEIVER IS ASKED
Pioneers In Litigation With Smith
Powers Company.
The application of E. W. Burnett and
Victor Wlttick for a receiver for the
Pralth-Powers Logging Company was
heard yesterday afternoon in the pri
vate chambers of United States Judge
Wolverton.
The defendant company Is one of the
largest lumber companies on the Pa
cific Cout, its president being Charles
A. Smith, of Minneapolis. The com
pany operating in Coos County,
In the vicinity of Marshfleld. where the
headquarters are. and where It owns
one of the largest lumber mills on the
West Coast.
Burnett and Wlttick were pioneers
of the logging ludustry of the Coos
Bay district, and assert that long pri
to the time that Smith and his asso
ciates made their advent In that terri
tory they acquired an interest In a log
ging boom valued at 11500. When the
Smith Interests went into the Marsh
field district, they bought the rights
of the old companies, and after apply
lng to the War Department for perml
sion to maintain the boom, in which
Bennett A Wlttick claimed an inter
est, proceeded to enlarge it and take
possession. It is also contended that
they bought -all the paraphernalia nec
essary to the operation of the boom
For the defense Attorney Goss
serted that the Smith Interests had
never been apprised that Burnett and
Wlttick owned an Interest In the
boom business, and denied that
evidence of partnership in the concern
was in existence. Abstracts of the
properties are said to have failed to
show that the plaintiffs were inter
ested in the boom in question.
TOURISTS ARE TO COM
Harriman Roads Will Seek to Divert

SCKVETS CAUSE QUESTIONS
Line From AVUlamina to Tillamook
Seeking Rights of Way.
E. H. Virgil, a former resident of Port
land but now of Woods, Tillamook
County, Is In Portland to ascertain who
Is back of the new railway that is being
surveyed In that county. He says that
the proposed line Marts at Willamina,
passes through Pacific City, Woods. Sand
Lake. Netarts Bay and to Tillamook
City. Rights-of-way have been: asked,
said Mr. V lrgil, but the people want to
know who Is backing the enterprise and
whether It Is a genuine enterprise, and
not come scheme to get rights-of-way and
sell out.
Mr. Virgil said that the route Is on a
fine grade, and he thinks that it really
means an extension of the Southern Pa
cific from Sheridan. He came to Port
land to investigate the promoters of the
new line.
COUNCIL TO PROBE MATTER
Milk Situation to Be Studied by
Special Committee.
Mayor Simon said yesterday that he
will send a message to the City Council
at Its nextvmeeting recommending that
committee be appointed clothed with
full power to investigate the milk sit
uation from all standpoints. Mr. Simon
has decided upon this, course upon the
suggestion of David Brown, of Spokane,
president of the Hazelwood Cream
Company, who a few days ago, through
the columns of The Oregonlan, offered
to further such an investigation in
every possible way, even to the extent
of allowing access to the full details of
the company s milk and cream business
for as long a time as. may be required
to arrive at conclusions.
'The question of milk supply Is an
Important one, said Mayor Simon yes
terday. "It affects the whole popula
tion of the city. Milk is a staple article
of food and its cost to the consumer
should not be greater than Is absolute
ly necessary. I fully agree that the
subject is of sufficient Importance to
warrant the appointment of an Invest!
gating committee which should go into
the subject from the standpoints of the
producer, the distributor and the con
sumer and make a full report with rec
ommendations.
"I would prefer that such a commit
tee should be composed of members of
the City Council, although I would by
no means be opposed to the addition of
others whose presence would be likely
to prove of benefit. I shall recommend
that this body be given a great deal of
latitude. I believe . that the contro
versy given rise to by the recent ad
vances in the price of milk demands a
full and Impartial investigation In Jus
tice to all parties concerned."
Rock Delivery Begins Soon.
ASTORIA. Or., Oct. 7. (Special.)
C. L. Houston, expects to begin haul
ing rock during the coming week for
construction of the Jetty at Nehalem
Bay, for which he has a contract from
the Government. The derricks and
scales have been placed in position and
as soon as a few more piling on the
trestle are driven, the delivery of rock
will be started.
Weown to Be Floated Today.
Captain O. W. Hosford expects that
the steamer Weown will be floated to
day from the ways pf the Portland
Shipbuilding Company. With the ex
ception of opening a few seams, she
sustained no damage to her hull In
going aground Sunday on the Lower
Columbia. Considerable caulking was
done to make her tlght-

BLOOD DISEASES
CONTAGIOUS .TROUBLES
Contagions Blood Poison more
thoroughly permeates the system than
any other disease. -Its infections virus
contaminates every corpuscle and
tissue of the circulation, and for this
reason its symptoms are of a varied
nature. When it enters the blood it
is but a short time until the mouth
and throat begin to ulcerate, the skin
becomes spotted, rashes and eruptions
appear on the body, sores and ulcers
break out, the hair falls, and fre
quently nails on hands and feet thick
en and come off. Mineral medicines
which simply shut the poison up in
the system should be avoided, for when
such treatment is left off the old dis
ease will break out again, often worse
than before. S. S. S. cures Contagious
Blood Poison permanently, and it does
so because it thoroughly purifies the
blood. B. 5. S.
goes into the
circulation, and
drives out the
last trace of the
destructive
germs, adds
richness and
vigor to the cir
culation and
allows it to nourish the diseased por
tions of the body back to health.
S. S. S. is purely vegetable, being
made entirely of roots, herbs and
barks, without a particle of mineral,
and its vegetable ingredients always
hasten the cure by toning up the
stomach aad digestive members.
