AIDS TO BE VIEWED Navigation Inspector to Learn Problems of Pilots. MORE LIGHTS, REQUESTED Government Official to Study Har bor From Bridge of Steamship Beaver Which Sails With Limit of Passengers. To obtain a first-hand view of Just what pilots have to contend with in handling large vessels In the river at night and Judge therefrom what is required in the way of new lighted aids to navigation. Henry L. Beck, in spector of the Seventeenth Lighthouse District, left down at 4 o'clock yester day afternoon on the bridge of the Steamer Beaver, Captain Mason com manding. The Columbia River Pilots' Associa tion petitioned Mr. Beck for about half a dozen new lights at important points along the channel to sea, some of which have to do with localities where vessels recently suffered deten tion. Besides they asked that others n position be changed. As Captain Archie Pease, head of the association, is pilot for the San Francisco & Portland Steamship Com pany, it was arranged for Mr. Beck to make the trip last night, so he coul'd see how the Beaver and vessels of her class make their way to Astoria, The same conditions govern ing their Journeys also apply to the large tramps, though tho latter are deeper when loaded. From Astoria Mr. Beck will leave to day in a Lighthouse Bureau launch for Harrington Point, one of the places where aids may be shifted, as he wishes to studv the physical con ditions in that vicinity from other than the deck of a liner. If favorably Impressed, he will make recommenda tions to Washington. The Beaver sailed with her limit of E60 passengers. Under a new ruling of the Government Inspectors, some of the larger passenger vessels are hav ing their limit cut down on relnspec- tion. and a few have been lopped off the Beaver and Bear. Both vessels have carried more lifeboat capacity than was required, also life preservers, and were otherwise equipped to accommo date larger crowds than carried, but the reductions have been made under remeasurements. Other passenger steamers on the Coast will be subjected to the same system. The steerage of the Beaver con tained more than 300 travelers, all men. In the cabin but four children were carried, which is an unusually small list of juveniles. JTEHALEM JETTY HOCK BOUGHT Government to Start on South Jetty Extension Shortly, Work on the extension of the south jetty, at the mouth of the Nehalem will proceed as soon as preliminaries are attended, under the direction of Major Morrow, Corps of Engineers, TJ. A., who received authorization yes terday from the chief of engineers to enter into a contract with the Miami Quarry Company for the rock at T1.36 a ton. When bids were first opened the lowest figure on rock was $1.40. and it was ordered rejected, but on the com pany shading tho price it was found satisfactory. It probably will be Spring before the plant will be ready for the first deliveries. The north jetty has been authorized as well and the esti mate for both is $635,350. Taxpayers of the Port , of Nehalem district con tribute half. They have deposited al ready $235,000 and were given credit for $82, pOO previously expended. ' ASTORIA GETS NEW FLEET First Australian Freighter Will Call in Columbia in January. McNear, Gibson & Co. is to be the name of a new firm to be started No vember 1 through ta merger of G. W. McNear's Interests, of San Francisco, With those-of Gibson & Co., of Aus tralia, and while they will maintain umber shipping, it. is announced they will operate a new line of steamers from Australian ports to the Pacific Coast. The plan is to touch at San Francisco, Astoria and Puget Sound. The first vessel loads at San Fran cisco In January, taking on case oil there, general cargo at Astoria and lumber from Puget Sound. It is said three carriers have been engaged from Andrew Weir & Co. On the return it s assumed that the vessels will han dle considerable Australian meat that s being shipped this way through the liminatlon of duty under the new tar iff act- ONLY TWO SHOALS IX RIVER Mathloma Works to Aid Depth for Willamette Steamers. If the Government dredge Mathloma can keep open cuts at Lambert's and Wheatland, officers of the Yellow Stack Line say they will not be praying for rain as a means of getting better water between Portland and Salem. The Mathloma was ordered to Lambert's this week, and it is supposed that she later will visit Wheatland, as the gauge at Albany shows 1.6 feet above zero and at Salem It is but seven-tenths above zero. The steamer Grahamona was floated from the Oregon diydock yesterday after having had repairs made to her hull. She leaves this morning on her run to Salem, replacing the steamer Oregona, which will be laid up until service is resumed to Corvallls, prob- bly next month. BIG PARTY FOR SECRETARY Old Oregon's Crew to Get Bids for Voyage Through Canal. As Secretary of the Navy Daniels has given' out that he will grant the wish of former members of the battleship Oregon's crew to be aboard her when he leads the naval parade through the Panama Canal next year, only that they will be invited guests instead of en listed for a brief period, there promises to be a scramble for invitations. There is a large ' representation of men yet in the service who were on the Oregon, also officers, and among the latter known to Portlanders is Lieutenant-Commander Henry N. Jenson, who brought the Oregon here during the Elks' convention in 1912. At the time of her run to Cuba he was an Ensign . and assigned to her engine room.

Uncle Sam is drawing better material for his Navy from Portland than ever before, according to Lieutenant W. H. Toaz, directing the recruiting station here, who says that it is seldom that an applicant presents himself in a state of Intoxication or is undesirable in ap pearance. For the entire period of 1912 the en listments here reached 198 men, while for 1913 already there are 214, and the average for October has been about one enlistment a day. Of course many others apply, but are either undesirable personally or unfit physically. The sta tion has been shifted to the new Mor gan building, and a check made on ap plicants shows that they are of a most desirable class. HARPAG US TO LOAD LUMBER Heatley & Co. Will Dispatch Tramp to South African Port. Additional cables from London bear ing on the charter last week of the British steamer Harpagus establishes the fact she was engaged by Heatley & Company to load lumber forouth Africa, and not by the Royal Mall Line, as had been reported. She was taken at a rate of 72s Gd. The Portland office of the Royal Mall has not been advised officially of the charter of the steamer Orteric, also re ported fixed. The British steamer Ven- nacher was added to the Royal Mall fleet and it is understood other carriers are being sought to care for shipments to move over the Pacific during the Winter.

Asplund, who was In command of the steamship Merced when she struck on x-oint Gorda on the night of October 15, pleaded guilty today-to negligence and unskillful nav igation before the United States in spectors of hulls and boilers.

Family Scpply at Small Cast, and Fully Guaranteed. llake a plain syrup by mixing one pint of granulated sugar and pint of warm water and stir for 2 minutes. Put 2V4 ounces of pure Pinei (flftv cents' worth ) in a pint bottfe, and fill it up with the Sucar Syrup. This frives you a family supply of the best couch syrup at a saving of $2. It never spoils, 'lake a teaspoonful every one, two or three hours. The efTectiven ras of this simple remedy is surprising. It seems to take hold al most instantly, and will usually con- ?uer an ordinary cough in 24 hours, t tones up the "jaded appetite and is just laxative enough to be helpful in a cough, and has a pleasing taste. Also excellent for bronchial trouble, bronchial asthma, whooping cough and spasmodic croup. This method of making cough remedy with Pinex and Sugar Syrup (or strained honey) is now used in more homes than any other cough syrup. This explains why it is often imitated, though never successfully. If you try it, use only genuine Pinex, which is a most valuable concentrated compound of Norway white pine extract, and is rich in jjuaiacol and other natural healing pine elements. Other prepara tions will not work in this combination. A guaranty of absolute satisfaction, or money promptly refunded, goes with this preparation. Your druggist has Pinex, or will get it for you.
