The British bark Invrrcoe. which ar rived November 15 In ballast from Callao. h been assessed 140 for han dling tons, and Captain Jonea. ct the British Bark Cambrian Chieftain, baa been rhara: I Ji tr his lot. Such a wall ha cone up that the Chamber of Commerce haa been called to task because -free ballast" I adver tised h--re. Thai haa revived history In connection with the Journey of E.

The lijrnman Interest then shouldered the differential by ellmlnat Inc plioUr. and It wa stipulated that ballast would be handled free. Kre Held t. Be J"t. fhamher of Commerce member ad mit that the Columbia Knilnrcrlnsr la tere: have, completed what they agreed to do resarains ballast and say that a the material can no longer be dumped close to the balla-l dork it I not unreasonable, for them to ask a nominal fee for ut:r transportation. For the. last lx month the union among- European shipowners haa I'rac ticallr been out of existence, and al thouBh It 1 said a remnant of the. body remains. Tortlnnd ahlpper do not feel that tnoy are. .iner obligated to the acreement. Besi l-. at the last meet ing of the Tort of Portland Commission reduction of :i per cent waa made In toik-e charge between the and I-..r:land. On voscl between 1 -W and IS"-! tons the charge, haa been Io0 for th. rounl trip, and between 1&00 and 1. ton It waa T00. At thesa rate even a mall hlp pTln l00 would ave It owner 1S0 by the reduction. Kre (laaae Recalled. In complain! made to the Chamber of Commerce It ha been Insisted that, regardless of the lower towauw tariff. Jt waa agreed that ballast was free, bo arrangement must be made for Bun dling; it gratia. The proposal to dispose cf ballast without cost to the owner was merely one of the te.p taken to lower port charge to an equitable basis with those In the north. It I ar jjued. and as the new towage tariff more, than offset that. It 1 generally feu that owner have no ground for complaint. . , A a matter of fact, many Interested In marine affair doubt the wisdom of the Tort of Portland Commission In lowering the towage charge, expecting that the m tep mar be taken In the north. In that connection the og gestion of free river plloiaae and free towase by the Port of Portland Com mission ha been frowned on. because despite talk of Increased port cost here, the growth of commerce ha In creased annually, and o long aa Port land haa bualnes It I not thouKht that further Inducement to ahlpownera are warranted.

That hundreds of loaves of bread made In filthy .basements under ex tremely unsanitary conditions And their way to the Portland market every day Is the statement of a committee of the Consumers' League which has completed a general Inspection of the bakeries of the city. The committee, comprising Mrs. E. A. Rockey, Mrs. W. B. Ayer and Mrs. W. 11. Warrens, reported at the last meeting of the league that many of the bakeries are absolutely filthy. One bakery Is said to occupy a dark un rentllated basement where employes expectorate on the floor and use no precaution In mixing the dough. No care Is taken of the kneading vats and the flour Is not kept under sanitary conditions. It Is reported. Another bakery Is near a dirty stable where employes walk In filth and track It on to the bakery floor. In other places the facilities for wash ing vat and machinery used In the manufacture of bread are poor. Several clean bakerlea mere found. Among these 1 the Royal, which the committee reports haa modern ma chinery and manufactures bread under unusually sanitary condition. The committee recqmmenda that the league urga that bread be manufac tured, .wrapped and sealed by ma chinery rather than by hand.

JANUARY 2 IS DATE SET J. II. Ixrtlirop, Traffic Manager for Chamber 'of Commerce, Says Spo kane Is Xot Expected to t Oppose) Schedule. Lower distributive rates from Port land and other Coast terminals to In terior points undoubtedly will go Into effect January 2, as ordered by the In terstate Commerce Commission last week, according to the opinion of J. H. Lothrop. traffic manager of the trans portation committee of the Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Lothrop points to the fact that the rallroadej are not sufficiently In terested to make a contest, and that the only other interested party the City of Spokane cannot bo expected to oppose the new rate schedule. Inas much as Spokane's fight for reduced rates always has been In the Interests of the people. Mr. Lothrop declared yesterday that the Commission was conservative In lt reductions, and, owing to reductions within the stato heretofore made under the order of the State Railroad Com mission tfy the O.-W. R." & N. Co.. the added reduction In the Oregon state rates would not be very great. He pointed out that the Northern lines at the trial voluntarily tendered a con siderable reduction which, while not as great as the Commission granted, did not leave a difference serlouei enough to ground any hope for an attack. Hates TbouKht Urgent. "I think that tho state rates prob ably will be placed on about the same basis as the interstate rates," he said, "and that the Interior cities, such as Spokane, will be satisfied. Inasmuch as they deelred a reduction the fight there, according to their statements, having been made for tho benefit of tho consumers. Therefore I assume that the Spokane people, as well as all interior cities, will want the rates In as soon as possible. "A very lurge percentage of the articles used In the procery trade originates on ' the Paclflo Coast, and necessarily any reduction In rates on those articles Inures to .the benefit of the consumers. I'ndef these circum stances It is possible that there will be no contest of any kind. At any rate, the rates being fixed solely on a baeis of reasonableness, it would be rather difficult to find any reason why they should not go Into effect. If the exist ing rates are unreasonable, then, necessarily the unreasonable charge should not be collected a day longer than necessary. These are question) of public concern and are by no means a subject that concerns Jobbers only. Appeal Not Probable. "There has. of course,, been some talk, as there always is, of attacking the order of the Commission, or, at any rate having It held up, but it is diffi cult to see upon .what grounds this could be done unless the Commission voluntarily extended the 'time Itself, and, aa the case-has now been pend ing for four or five years, there would be little reason for doing this. . It will be remembered that an Injunction was asked In the Salt Lake rates, which waa refused, and the rates went into effect. The eame situation also arose In the, rates fixed from Sacramento to Reno. The order In that case was at tacked, but the rates were ordered In."

As one of the features of the Joint convention of Oregon Butter and Cheese Makers and Oregon Dairymen, which will be held In Portland Decem ber E.S. a banquet will be held at the Portland Commercial Club the night of December 7.

They dose the system with powerful stimu lants and tonics, calculated to restore nervous force or strength that Is not and never has been lacking, with the result that the functions are tempo rarily excited to the positive detriment cf the patient. Weakness is only a symptom resulting from many local conditions and is curable by local treatment only, without the giving of a single Internal dose, which demon ttrates the absolute accuracy of my understanding and treatment of this disorder. In years I have not met with a single failure and I have entire confidence in my ability to cure all cases that come to me for treatment. I am equally certain that no treatment other than that which I have perfect ed can completely and permanently rertore strength and vigor. NO MONEY REQUIRED TO COM MENCE TREATMENT.
