When Captain Charles Jordan, pilot of the tug Samson at the time she col lided with and aank tha steamer M. F. Henderson a week ago Saturday, ap pears st the office of Local Inspectors Edwarda and Fuller this morning he will be charged formally with negli gence and carelessness In the naviga tion of the tug. A decision was reached last night by the Government officers, following an Investigation at which the principal members of the crews of the tug and Henderson testified. On Inspectors Edward sand Fuller devolves the production of proof that Jordan displayed negligence and care lessness. It not being sufficient that testimony taken yesterday be passed on to convict him. A procedure adopted a year ago by the steamboat Inspec tion service provides that an Investiga tion shall be first held and 11 testimony Is adduced that Indicates one or mora officers were at fault, the Inspectors shall prefer charges and then proceed with the trial. The principal witnesses at the Investigation were Captain Ed ward Sullivan, who acted as pilot in charge of Standard OH Barge No. 83. towed by the Henderson, and Captain Jordan, as pilot of the tug. which was made fast between three barges of the Columtla Contract Company's fleet thst were rock-laden for the Columbia River Jetty. Both admitted that the channel at Bugby's Light was half a mile wide and each asserted that after the whistle signals were given helms had' been put hard aport, which should have car ried the vessels away from each other. Instead of bringing them together. Captain Sullivan testified that when he saw the Samson and her tow she wss about a quarter of a mile up stream. The Henderson and the oil barge, he said, were about in mid channel. He ordered one whistle sounded to Indicate he would hold to the right or starboard, which the Sam son answered. Captain Jordan testified that the col lision occurred approximately in mid- channel, while Captain Sullivan said It waa about 600 feet , from the Oregon shore. Following a second exchange of signals both pilots declared that they held to courses as Indicated by the first signal. Captain Jordan asserted that the rock barge on the port side of the Samson struck the oil barge before crsshlng Into the Henderson. Pilot Stayton. of the Henderson, testified that the Samson did not appear to alter her course after answering the signal.

Harbormaster Speler"s campaign against waste fuel oil floating on the river in the vicinity of the Portland Gas Coke Company's plant, at the foot of Everett street, has borne rruit through the installation by the com-- oany of a filtering machine, trtrougo which all water containing lamp black and oil will be diverted. The process segregates foreign matter irom tne water, which la dumped into tha. river In a clear state, while the lamp black and other waste Is carried into a tank from wh'ch It emerges dry and In the form of black bricks that will be dis posed of for fuel in. the same manner aa coal. A search of the plant and inspection of all feed-oil pipes was msde yester day by Harbormaster Speler In quest of a leak that might be responsible for fuel oil found there, but all con nections were in order, and it was con cluded that the oil found Its way into the river from a sewer. It has been the practice at a number of downtown buildings and manufacturing plants in North Portland, to dump waste oil Into sewers. It Is argued that aa much dAncrer exists from that system aa I though the material was hauled to the waterfront and dumped overooara, as it spreads on the surface and proves a fire menace.

The reason is plain the article did not fulfil the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells it self, as like an endless chain system the remedy is recommended by those who have been curefl, to those who are in need of It. In an Interview on the subject a prominent local druggist says "Take for example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a preparation I have sold for many vears and never hesitate to recommend. for In almost every case It shows Im mediate results, as many or my cus tomers testify. No other kidney rem edy that I know of has so large a sale." Tha success of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact that, it fulfils t-erv wish In overcoming- kidney, liver and bladder diseases, corrects urinary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism.
