Apropos of the step taken by the Port of Portland Commission to aslt for bids on a steel sternwheel towboat. which are to be opened at an adjourned session to be held tomorrow afternoon.

Supple states unreservedly that in vtew of the excellent channel avail. . sible from Portland to ths sea. where shallow water conditions are no longer to be contended wtth by towboats. that propeller steamer should be con structed. He made ths following- de tailed statement: t wish to voire my protest esatnst the rnnefructtoa of this trr-a of boat for sieb service.

LEAFLETS GO BROADCAST Month's Reduced-Rate Period Expir ing April 10, All Railroads He ir in Great Campaign to Make Northwest Magnet. Wednesday. March 1, will be Col onists' day In Oregon. Every resident of the state who is able to write Is expected on that day to send a letter to an Eastern friend or relative extending an invitation to come to Oregon in the period during which reduced rates will be In effect on all the railroads from March 10 to April 10. This plan was originated by the pas senger department of the O.-W. R. & N. Railroad and the publishers of the Sunset magax'ne, who will aid In the plan to the extent of distributing free among the several communities out side of Portland and in Portland Itself copies of leaflets that may be Inclosed In a letter without adding to the cost of postage. A supply of 421.000 leaflets has been printed fur this state. These are di vided among 3 Individual communities, each community having Its own infor mation and descriptive material printed fliereln. Other states of the Northwest will take part In tne colonist campaign, hut none so extensively as Oregon. Washington and Idaho will distribute 90,000 and 30,000 leaflets respectively. Oregon Advertised Most. This state will receive virtually 10 times the publicity by this movement that Is given any other state. The same proportion of advertising will be maintained in other exploitation metn ods to be Introduced by the railroads. Only 5000 leaflets will be used In Oregon, which will be divided between the Chamber of Commerce and the Com mercial Club. The publicity depart ments of those bodies will distribute them. The people of Portland have been asked to take part in the general colonists' day movement to the extent of writing a letter to soma one living outside the state who may be Induced to come here within the reduced-rate period or perhaps to remain perma nently. The general form of leaflets, being printed In 10 different cities of the state, la the same, the front cover bear ing a sunburst marked by a heavy black ring In which a passenger train is e only figure. "Oregon Now" Prominent. "Oregon Now." appears within the ring and below It the words "Colonist Fares." allowing space for filling In the name of the city from which the leaflet Is sent. A list of ths passenger agents and a map of the Harriman system is printed on each with a ring and an arrow pointing to It surround ing the city to which the letter writer desires to call attention particularly. The price of one-way tickets from the principal Eastern station is also given, with an explanation that by ar rangement with the local agenta In Oregon the fare of the intending set tler may be paid by a friend at the point of destination, the Information telegraphed to the stsrtlng point ana the transportation furnished there without waiting for correspondence by mall. Virtually the same towns of the state that have already taken advantage of the Harriman system's offer to pro vide general community publicity are those having the leaflets printed. System Helps Valley. By comparison of figures, officials of the railroad have estimated that the number of settlers In those com munities that have used the communi ty method provided by the railroad have received the greatest Increase in the number of settlers from year to year. These towns are located, prin cipally. In the Willamette Valley. The reports show that in the 10-day period of 1905 they drew more people from outside the state than In the (0-day period Of 1008. SCHOONER HAS 6AD LEI WASHINGTON LIMPS INTO AS TORIA FOR REPAIRS. To Right Craft on War to San Fran. clseo 4 00 Bundles of Lath Jetti soned Surrey or to Inspect. ASTORIA, Or- Feb. JL Special.) "The steam schooner Washington. Cap tain Meyer, limped Into port today in a leaking condition. The Washington sailed from Wlllapa Harbor at 7 o'clock last night en route to Ban Francisco with a cargo of lumber. She met with no accident, but immediately after crossing the Wlllapa Harbor bar began to leak badly and soon had a. bad list. To right her about 400 bundles of lath were Jettisoned. Despite the fact that both the steam and the band pumps were kept constantly at work, the wa ter gained steadily, so Captain Meyer decided to head for the Columbia River, and when the vessel came inside this morning there was 1 Inches of wa ter In ber hold. As soon as the smooth water of the harbor was reached the leak subsided to about two Inches an hour, so that the pumps were able to keep the craft clear. The location of the leak has not been discovered, but It is believed that some of the seams have opened or the butts started. Captain Crowe, surveyor for the Fan Francisco board of underwrit ers, will arrive tonight with a diver from Portland to make an examination of the hull and what will be done with the vessel will not be decided until he makes bis report. The Washington was on dry dock and given a thorough overhauling only a few weeks ago. The vessel Is Insured abroad, while the cargo is Insured in San Francisco. COURT REFUSES PETITION Eugene Cltlxens Ixe Fight for CO Per Cent Rebate From Levy. EUGENE, Or.. Feb. 11. (Special.) TK rnnnfv Court refused tontffht to e-rnnt the natltlon of the taxDavera' ' mass meetings for a rebate of 20 per cent from the levy of 10 mills, giving as a reason that the county cannot be conducted on the levy requested. The petition came from a packed mass meeting held at the Courthouse last Saturday afternoon. My Terms .L'Treatme within the reach of all. I wfll not accept your ease If I cannot cure yo. I will give yon an absolute guarantee to cure you or not charge you one cent for my services. The reason hundreds of man today are discouraged Is because they have given no care to whom they entrust ed their case, their precious health. They do not consider the ability, frofMsional standing and reputa lon of the physician or specialist of whom they- took treatment, but have considered far more the fact that by not going to a specialist of ability they could get cheaper treat ment. Such Is not the case, because It requires ability and skill to cure any one of the ailments to which I de-rote my full time and attention, and the specialist who possesses the ability to cure, gets all the business be can attend to. If you are today discouraged because you have not been cured it la your own fault, xou have no one else to blame but yourself. If you have sought treat ment and are not eured, it is simply because ef the fact that you have not thought enough of your health, your life, to pay the pr'oe of a com petent, reliable specialist, who pos sesses the ability necessary to cure you. The one thing for any man to consider Is simply this: 'I want to get cured. I must get the ailment conquered before it conquers mo." If you look at this matter from this standpoint, valuing as you must do yeur future health and happiness. won will ennaulr at nnni the BEAT and MOST RELIABLE specialist, one whom you know from his per manently and long-established reputation to be the best, and It your case ts placed with him the cure will surely follow In short order. LASTLY. REMEMBER, there Is no man who really desires to be eured who cannot place his case with me.

BLOCK SYSTEM TELLING Report for 1010 Received by Local Agenta Shows no Fatalities. 17,960 Miles Covered Anti Accident Crusade Effective. Installation of safety devices and maintenance of the block signal system are cited as responsible factors for the record of the Harriman railroads In car rying 49.191,000 passengers In 1910 without sacrificing a single life. This report was received by the local offices yesterday. The report was compiled in the office of Jullt's Kruttschnitt, director of main tenance and operation, at Chicago. It rovers the business of the Union Pa cific and Southern Pacific lines and all affiliated roads, including those In the Northwest, a total of 17.9C0 miles. The total number of passengers carried, on a mile basis. Is S,000.000.0u0. The Harriman system carried 10 per cent of the estimated 1910 passenger traffic. The figures for most of the other railroads have not yet been complied by the Government, but In 1909 the Inter state Commerce Commission reported ths number of passengers carried as 29.000. 000.000. The figures for 1910 will not ex ceed a billion more. It Is said. Many other railroads have gone through a year without a fatality to any of its passengers, but it Is said that no system has made this record for such a large total of passengers. Results on the Harriman lines are ascribed to a campaign waged by the management for years to reduce acci dents. The Harriman system now has more miles of automatic block signal protection than any other system In the world. Mr. Kruttschnitt has directed special attention to the accident prob lem, and began several years ago to bring about a reduction by giving com plete publicity to all forms of accidents and their Investigation, which, it is be lieved, spurred officers and employes to greater efforts to safeguard lives. In 1S03-19O4 tae number of accidents on the Union Pacific was 20 for 1,000.000 locomotive miles. On the Pacific system of the Southern Pacific the number of accidents per 1.000.0U) locomotive miles was reduced from 2.v to 10.5 in the same time.
