Mr. Mlllis left Marshfleld several months aao to enter upon hla new duties at San Kram Isco. and the man agement of the Coos Bay propertlea devolved on W. K. Miller.

Work hss been started on the Kugene end of the rati line and It Is not Im probable that consideration will be riven a plan to commence at Coos Fay. tlie same as was done In the construc tion of the Tillamook-Iilllsboro project, so that operations may be reached. As Mr. MIHIs Is to remain there over a week. It Is presumed that he will make a lenfthy report on the situation. The Breakwater began loading: late last night after having; been on the Oregon drydock. where a new propeller was shipped and she was cleaned and painted. Captain Macgenn. who has been on the trail of the new wheel for a Ions time, says he Is so confident that the Breakwater will reel off bet ter time that he baa agreed to send a wlrrlens message to Portland telling her speed. The vessel's machinery has been gone over, and as her saloon and staterooma are belnr painted during the layover at both ends of the route. It is hoped to get the work completed ,h can ao on the five days' schedule on her first trip In May. Miller U Eathaalaat. Superintendent Miller Is an enthu siast on the subject of rloser commer cial relations between Coos Bay and Portland and says that on his return soon he will take up with the Port land Commercial lub a proposition to ronduct a business men's excursion on the Breakwater. . "When the new rail line is finished the bulk of the freight movement will be between Portland and Coos Bar, though today San Francisco has a staunch foothold C Marshfleld," said Mr. Miller. "The service between Portland and Coos Bay Is best, especially on the five i-'ays" schedule, and the only reason I ran find for business not being; heavier on the ran Is that Coos Bay dealers are not as well acquainted with the whole sale ra of Portland as they are with those of San Francisco. roHT COMMISSION TO MEET Coal Delivery Question and Dredge Work to Be Dlcuited. Steps taken to obtain plans and specifications for eoal bargee equipped with conveyors fur loading; vessels, also data on the proposal to erect hunkers instead of using barges, so that liners may be coaled cheaply and iuick!y, are to be discussed at today's session of the Port of Portland Com mission. , Also the operations of the dredge Columbia, which Is engaged In mak ing an Kant Side fill for the Southern pacific, will be discussed. It was roughly estimated' that 100.000 yards of material would be moved, but the rail road interests have raised the grade .'ive feet and already In excess of 100. "0 yards have been pumped and the Jlcser will be at work at least in thcr week. OTfKOXTA HERE FOR REPAIRS New Forctopniact Placed and Ma chinery Given Attention. To have a new foreopmaft stepped, oesldrs repairs made to her machinery the tug Oneonta. of the port of Port land fleet operating off the bar. reached the city yesterday and berthed at the Vulcan Iron Works. The foretopmast waa broken last week when she was close to the French bark Kugene Schneider, as a hawser was belntr sent aboard to tow the bark Inside, and the tug was thrown against the vessel. Her rngineroom repairs are said to consist chiefly of brazing, which could not be done on the lower harbor and It -waa thought best to bring her here as the topmast was also ready. She la expected to return to Astoria to morrow. rtRADY PRorn.op tvew skiff Veteran Grappler Spend EaMer Saving for Lighter Craft. Most of those who celebrated Easter by making heavy disbursements. Invest ed In new apparel for personal adorn ment, but Hugh Brady, the veteran grappler. attached to the harbor patrol force, spent his savings for a new skiff. In a way the craft is In fashionable at. tire, for It painted an attractive pearl gray, bnt to Brady Its charm Is In the slse and buoyancy. The grappler says that the boat In which lie has worked for years. In dragging for unfortunates who die beneath the waters of the Willamette, la too heavy and that the skiff ran be handled better In currents.

RErCE IS CLAIMING RECORD Salmon Ship Will Reach Chlgnic Within Another Week. Admirers of the cannory ship Reajee are claiming for her the distance record for sailing vessels in the use of wire less, as her owners have been In com munication with her ver- night since she sailed from the Columbia, and the last mewxagea showed her to be 1SO0 miles northwest of the mouth of the river. The Keuce Is expex-ted to reach Chlgnic Bay next week. There Is a contrast between the Retire and the I.evl O. Burgess. th lat ter having gone to sea Tuesday even ing, and Is not fitted with the aero system. The owners will probably hear nothing of the ship until after hew ar rival In .Masks, unless she Is spokon by a vessel having wireless. This Is the first SNUon that the Alaska sailing fleet has Included a vessel having the gear aboard for aendlng messages and it Is believed the wireless will prove a satisfactory Investment. Marine Notes. Work of recaulklng the forward main deck of the steamer Bear la be ing carried on during her present stay In port and It Is thought that when she returns on ' the next voyage the contract will be ended. It Is reported from North Bend that In another week the hull of the new steamer A. M. Simpson will be in shape so It can be towed to San Francisco, where the machinery Is to be Installed. After having been engaged on buoy work on rug-t Sound, the lighthouse tender Mansanlta returned to the river yesterday, as did the tender Heather, which was supplying lightvessels and stations on the Coast.

Bound for Nushagak with supplies and cannery hands the salmon ship Berlin, of the Warren fleet, left the harbor yesterday In tow of the steam er Ocklahama. The last of the fleet to go will be the tug North King, which will leave next week. To finish her lumber cargo for the south the steamer Olympic moved Into the harbor last evening from Kalama and the steamer Johan Toulsen went from St. Johns to Westport to com plete her load, after having worked 400.000 feet for San Francisco. Captain Roberta, of the British ship Kirkcudbrightshire, which is ready to load lumber for the Cnlted Kingdom, as she finished discharging Newcastle coal Tuesday and worked 00 tons of gravel ballast, expects to leave the harbor In a few dys. as the ship Is to start loading at Westport about April 1C News was conveyed to the Mer chanta' Exchange yesterday that the Jebaen liner Jason sailed from Man sanlllo on her second voyage to Port land to load another consignment of wheat for Mexico.

Owing to the growth of the church It was necessary to divide the single district. - '- operate power plants and to Install a distributing system and other equip ment. In Portland, as all that Is re quired by members of the City Coun cil who were interviewed yesterday is that good faith be shown. Members of the Council are rather resentful over the recent acquisition of the Mount Hood Railway & Power Company by the Portland Railway. Light at Power Company, thereby elim inating all hope of competition from that source, and are therefore "scary" about new concerns. However, with the assurances of such men as are connected with the Northwest Elec tric Company that they are in earnest as to furnishing actual competition. It Is believed the Council readily will grant the necessary franchise. Competition is demanded by every member of the Council, and all they want to be assured of Is that the Northwest Electric Company will fur nish It. Some favored a bond by the company to guarantee good faith, and othera said they would like to make the franchise. If granted, declare for feiture of all Ha property to the city In case of a merger with any other company. , Mayor Ruakllght Satisfied. Mayor Rushlight Is favorable to the entrance of the company, aa hefeels certain that it Is backed by sufficient capital and that those Interested are sufficient guarantee of good faith and honest competition. Statements by members of the Coun cil are as follows: George L. Baker I favor competi tion, but I am not In favor of grant ing a franchise without the greatest consideration and care. The Mount Hood Company was the same kind of a proposition when it started, but It failed to give the city competition. If the company now applying for a franchise can show absolutely that It will benefit the city, then I will vote for it. John II. Burgard From investiga tion I feel that the Northwest Electric Company is all right; that its officers and backers are good men. flnanclally" and otherwise, and that the company will afford competition. I am heartily in favor of the proposed franchise. Ralph C Clydrj I have never voted for a franchise alnce I have been In the Council, but I will vote for a franchise If It Is shown that it actual ly benefits the public Is carefully safe guarded at every point and pays some per centage on Its gross earnings to the city. I favor giving this proposi tion earnest consideration. Daly VVnla Cempetttloa. Will H. Daly I have not had the time as yet to Investigate the fran chise application, but I want to aee competition In electric lighting, and. If this company will give us that, I will vote for It. Of course, I want to see the franchise very carefully worded and every provision Inserted to safe guard the public I will make a care ful study of the proposition before It comes up for passage. George D. Dunning I am in favor of competition and if the new company will assure us of its good faith I will upport It. J. J. Jennings Properly worded, so that there could be no possibility of the franchise being turned over to the Portland Railway.' Light V Power Company or some other concern, I favor the franchise. But I do not want another Mount Hood experience. What we need Is honest competition. There Is no use In giving any com pany a franchise Just for the purpose of getting a foothold, after which it oan be sold out to some other com pany. If we grant thla franchise. I favor having some means of declaring Its property forfeited to the city or making the company pay to the city an amount equal to that which It gets for Its sale to the other company. Tom N. Monks I am heartily In favor of the franchise. I know the compsny and have no hesitancy In say ing that it Is all right. We need the competition which this company will give and I am anxious to see the frsnrhlse granted as soon as possible. Thexe men will give Portland first claya service at reasonable rates. Allen R. Joy I will vote for the franchise asked for. If. upon complete Investigation and due consideration. I find that It will give competition that will be of real benefit to the city. We stand In need of competition and should have It. I hope this new company win prove to be the one that will provide James Mcgulre t the new company means business. I shall favor granting the franchise, properly guarded. Every one knowa we need competition. I see no good reason why the Council should not give thla company the necessary rights to operate, if we find it Is work ing in good faith. R. E. Menefee I understand that the new company Is financially able to oope with the Portland Railway, Light tt Power Company and tht Jt intends to provide bona-fide competition. In case this proves true. I shall be glad to vote for the proposed franchise. The merger of the Mount Hood Company was a great disappointment and we don't want any repetition of that, ftchsaeer Halle From Missouri. William Schmeer I would favor the franchise, provided the company will furnish a sufficient bond to guarantee Its good faith. I don't want to have anything to do with any company that intenda to sell out. like the Mount Hood people did. I want to see com petition with the Portland Railway, Light Power Company, because we need It. but I ask. to be shown abso lute proof that . the new company seeks a franchise -with the honest In tention and strong determination to provide competition. H. W. Wallace I will vote for the franchise. I think, but I would like to see. over the signature of some re sponsible head 'of the new company, a detailed statement of Its resources. PORTLAND, SALEM AND DALLAS who its backers are and other pert! nent facta. 1 want no more such franchises to be granted as the Mount Hood franchise. I welcome competl tion to the city, but I would Just like to have a little more Information from the fountain head of the concern. Watklaa Mind Not Made I'p. Frank E. Watkins I have been un able as yet to study the proposed franchise, but I will do so soon. I favor competition, but I cannot say at thia time whether I will vote for thia franchise. F. S. Wllhelm If the City Attorney can draw this franchise so aa to guard the city's rights and positively make It so that there can Toe no merger. I would vote for the franchise, but it makes little difference, anyway. As a matter of fact, the city will soon own Its electric lighting plant. I think. However, I would be glad to have com petition and If the new company's franchise can" be handled so that there can be no merger, I will vote for it. SAGINAW'S MASTS 104 FEET Three Steamers Pass Bridge Truss With Space to Spare. Mariners concerned in the movements of steamers Carlos, J. B. Stetson and Saginaw caused a flurry yesterday when doubt was expressed that they could leave the main harbor after hav ing discharged cement and other heavy cargo because of the truss on the new Harrlman bridge. It was asserted that the clearance had been reduced slightly by a slight rise of the river, but the vessels were considerably deeper than when they arrived and passed the truss easily. Measurements were taken showing that' ihe top of the Saginaw's Micks wan 104 feet above water, so she had a clearance of almost six feet beneath the truss, and as the masts of the Carlos were but slightly higher, she had no trouble, nor did the Stetson. When the river reaches the ten-foot stage, however. It Is expected there will be delays of the steamers with lofty sticks.

TO BE Rose Show Programme Will Book No Advertisements. GIFTS OF 1000 BUDS ASKED Railroads Furnish Publicity for Portland's Annual Carnival. Public Tax Suggested as Plan to upport Bis Festival. J. A. Currey, president of the Port land Rose Society, aroused the enthu siasm of members of the Portland Ad Club at the luncheon'at the Multnomah Hotel yesterday by announcing that, although the society intends to issue a souvenir programme for the annual Rose Show in June, it will be a "pro gramme without advertising." The club has heretofore gone on rec ord as disapproving of programme ad vertising, believing that a souvenir ptogramme Is not a valuable medium and that solicitors for advertising pro grammes frequently, by more or less indirect methods, persuade merchants to take advertising space in which they do not get their money's worth. Mr. Currey's announcement was re ceived with applause, and by a motion from A. A. Schel!, chairman of the fake advertising committee of the club, the Rose Society was given a unanimous vote of thanks for the course It has adopted. Outlining the history of the Rose So ciety In the SI years since its organi zation. Mr. Currey described some of the plans for the coming show and in vited every rose-grower in Portland to contribute one blossom to the great centerpiece exhibit. In which It Is hoped to have roses from more than 1000 gar dens. W. E. Coman. chairman of the day, told of the work the railroads are do ing in advertising the Rose Festival, saying that the North Bank Road has Just published for distribution in the East 100,000 copies of an advertising pamphlet In which the Portland Rose Festival occupies one of the most im portant places. C. S. Jackson, speaking on "How to Support the Rose Festival," said that he believed funds should be raised by public taxes instead of by private sub scription, since everyone in the city profited by the festival, and for that reason should be obliged to bear a por tion of the expense. He asserted that If everyone would give 20 cents for every thousand dollars of land value In his name, the fund would be suffi cient to support the Rose Festival on a larger scale than In any previous year. A committee was appointed from the Ad Club to consider plans for carrying Into effect the ideas suggested by Mr. Jackson. George L. Hutchin, manager of the Rose Festival, told of the growth of the movement toward co-operation be tween the cities on the Pacific Coast in their festivals and carnivals and prophesied that this movement is des tined to make the Pacific Coast the "playground of the world."

OLD LADY ALMOST CRAZY WITH ECZEMA A Remarkable and Convincing State ment of the Success of Cuticura Soap and Ointment in the Treat ment of the Pain, Itching and - Burning of Eczema. 2234 Hebert St.. St. Louis. Mo. "I, the undersigned, cannot give enough praise to the Cuticura Remedies. I had been doctoring for at least a year for eczema on my foot. When a young girl I sprained my ankle three differ ent tunas, paying little or no attention to it, when five years ago a small spot showed upon my left ankle. A doctor said it was eczema. He drew a small bone from the ankle about the size of a match and about an inch long. The small hole grew to about the size of an apple, and the eczema spread to the knee. Th- whole foot ran water all the time. 'My husband and my sons were up night and day wheeling me from one room to an other In the hope of giving me some relief. I would sit for hours at a time In front of the fireplace hoping for daybreak. The pain was so Intense I was almost crazy. In fact, I would lose my reason for hours at a time. One day a friend of mine dropped in to see me. No more had she glanced at my foot than she ex claimed, 'Mrs. finnegan, why in the world don't you try the Cuticura Remedies!' Not being able to sleep at all, I decided to give the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint ment a trial. After using them three days that night I slept as sound as a silver dollar for eight long hours. I awoke in the morning with but very little pain, in fact. I thought I was in heaven. After using the Cuticura Re Birdies for three months I was perfectly restored to iealUi, thanks to the Cuticura Soap and Oint ment. I will be sixty-four years of ace ray next birthday, hale and hearty at present." (Signed) Mrs. Julia Finnegan, Mar. 7, 1911. Cuticura Soap and Ointment are , sold everywhere.
