Believing that they have been fully restored to the police service and therefore are entitled to their pay for the time they have been out of the service on suspension, Charles Frey and Sergeant Rupert, two of the po licemen discharged recently by Mayor Alhee, have given notice to City Au ditor Barbur that they will sue for their pay if necessary. They contend that when the Civil Service Board put them on the police eligible list it really restored them to their positions and exonerated them of the charges preferred against them. For that reason they say they are en titled to pay for all the time they were out and for the time they are kept out between now and when they are actu ally assigned to duty again. FRIENDS PAYING TRIBUTE 31rs. Fred L. Olson Offers to Sing at Banqnet for L. II. Fields. That the L. R. Fields testimonial banquet at the Commercial Club Sat urday night gives evidence of becom ing altogether a personal tribute to "the old man of the Southern Pacific" is indicated by the number of personal friends who will take part In the pro gramme. A volunteer of yesterday was Mrs. Fred L. Olson, who will sing a solo. At one time her husband was one of the office force at railroad head quarters. To the right of the guest of honor will be the "whistle" which worked from the rear of the private car "Port laud," which has carried Mr. Fields and his clerical force for many yeirs.

Mayor Albee made a brief talk from the upper deck, in which he charac terized the starting of the line as the consummation- of a project residents of Portland had long hoped for and said it was the "entering wedge for an ever gradually increasing volume of trade with the Xorth," and while cargo was not going to be left on the dock, he said that he had been assured there would be 10,000 to 12,000 tons handled during April, May and June. Speed Is Captain's i Aim. "I haven't much to say, only that 1 will get to Alaska and back as soon as possible." was the terse remark of Captain Ilerriman. "W. C. McPherson, chairman of the Alaska committee of the Chamber of Commerce, commented on preliminary work, prospective trade conditions, the development that would follow in Alaska when the Government completed railroad construction and what Portland interests must do to in crease its business there and hold it permanently. "The days of croaking are over; this is a permanent line, not a venture, and it will continue to go, not for a few trips or a few months, but during the entire year. Winter and Summer, sea son in and season out," said N. P. Ti tus, manager of the fleet, after the ad dresses. "We are not concerned with cargoes from . Alaska. Southbound business is good and will hold good. What we want is the business from Portland. Alaskans are anxious to trade here. They have shown it. Some of the cargo on the steamer, and in fact a large amount of it, represents orders that reached Seattle Tuesday night, and on arrival here by mail this morning were filled and delivered promptly at the dock. They have heard In the North that our first steam er is sailing. Now it is up to Portland to get their business, make It grow and, above all, hold it, with equitable prices, courteous treatment and a dis play of appreciation, which are al ready well known attributes of Port land firms in other territory, so they will be easy of application in dealings with Alaska." Passenger Reservations Numerous. Mr. Titus produced a list of passen ger reservations for April, showing that with, the present fleet nearly all TO CAMPS. . accommodations have been taken. He also announced that one firm will ship 200 tons on each steamer during April, May and June. Another order is held for the movement of 5,000.000 feet of lumber this season. Cannery stuff does not move until April, so little went north on the Wand, but there were household goods and other ne cessities for the George Inlet Packing Company, which is building a new plant, and in a short time boilers and other machinery will be sent there, shipments being limited only until a wharf is completed. The Wand will return with either a full cargo of gypsum or salmon. If one is not ready the other will be. Much, of that business will move into Seattle until agencies and plants, for handling it are established here ' and home interests insist on cannery bro kers disposing of their stock from Portland. Choice Fish Kxpccted. ' The new line means fresh halibut will coine here. Captain Ilerriman had orders on sailing last night to keep a weather eye open for fresh business in northern waters and all picked up comes here.' At present halibut goes to PugefSound only and it is said that what is shipped to Portland is known as No. 2 size, Seattle and Tacoma. get ting tlie choice of the catch. The steamer J. B. Stetson sails Wednesday and as Frank BQllum. pas senger agent for the company, has an swered numerous inquiries the past few days, he fully expects her passen ger accommodations to be disposed of before sailing day. The vessel will get away from San Francisco Saturday and, being without cargo, will lose no time in starting to load on arriving here. AGENCY FEE MAY BE CUT 4 Proposed Measure Provides for Guarantee of Week's Work. The fee of agents for furnishing em ployment to men may be reduced to 50 cents from the present price of $1 and the agents may be required to guarantee the positions given the men at those rates if an ordinance proposed I by City Commissioner Bigelow is auopieo. Dy me uny council. xne or dinance has been prepared by Mr. Sigelow as a result of receipt of hun dreds of complaints from men who say they have been sent out to posi tions and have found upon getting there that they were not given work. The measure Mr. Bigelow has pre pared provides that the fee shall be returned .to a man if the position fur nished does not last at least a week. If there is no position the railroad fare of the man must be refunded. PRISONERS' PLEA MADE 31 KS. BOOTH l ltf;i;S METHODS FUR REFORMATIO OF MALEFACTORS. Right to Hrand Law Breakers With Moral Stigma Denied in Ad dress Before Ad Club. " "The state has a right to punish law breakers, but it has no right to brand them with moral stigma so that they may never regain a position of trust in society," said Mrs. Ballington Booth, head of the Volunteers of America, in her address to the Ad Club yesterday at the Portland Hotel, where she ap peared as the guest of honor. Harsh and cruel methods of punish ment she denounced and declared that the only way to reform a prisoner is to show him how he may help himself to become a good citizen. "The state must make tlie prisoner feel that he received what he deserved, and the only way to deal with the prisoner with proper regard to his moral health is to treat him as an individual and not as one of a class," she said. "For IS years I have been visiting prisons in the United States and bring ing hope and inspiration to the un fortunate men. 1 can safely say that more than 20,000 of these -men have como to us and have put their lives in our bands.

Suffered 8 Years, but lieslnol Cured In a Week. Jan. 27, 1914: "I suffered over eight years with eczema. It started in one little place and kept spreading until it covered my hands. My hands looked like they had been burned by fire and peeled off in large pieces until they were only raw flesh. I was told it was eczema. It itched and burned me so that I could not sleep at night I tried all sorts of eczema salves and one pre scription after another but nothing gave me any relief until I tried P.esinol Soap and Itesinol Ointment, and after the first application my hands never itched or burned again, and were well in one week. I want every sufferer from eczema to know that they can find a cure in Resinol." (Signed) Miss lithtl Scott, Milstead, Ga. Physicians have prescribed Hesinol for nineteen years, for all sorts of skin troubles, pimples. dandruff, sores, ulcers, burns, wounds and piles. Every druggist sells Resinol Ointment and Resinol Soap, but for trial size, free, write to Dept.. 2-R, Resinol. Baltimore, Md. Do not be deceived by imitations. Adv. WISHES EXPERIENCE TO BENEFIT OTH Weil-Known Lady of St. Johns Makes Brief Statement About Flant Juice, the Tonic. Mrs. Julia Gould, a most estimable lady of St. Johns, Or., and who re sides at 1008 East Polk street, that city, tells in the following her ex perience with Plant Juice, the new vegetable tonic that so many people are discussnig now. Mrs. Gould formerly lived in Eureka, Cal., for 11 years, where she is well known and has a host of friends. For the past three years she has lived in St. Johns, where she also has many friends. She said: "For the past seven years I have suf fered greatly from stomach trouble. There was an intense pain in my stom ach and I would bloat up and gas would form and make a bubbling sound that was so distressing and embarrasing that I dreaded to go among friends. Plant Juice has changed all this and I am now feeling tine. It gave me almost immediate re lief and 1 am certainly glad that I tried it and hope others who suffer as I did will do the same. I am now eat ing everything that I want and enjoy my food. I sleep well and the pain and soreness are entirely gone." A chain is only as strong as its weak est link. The stomach seems to be the most important link in the human system, and no one can hope to be at their best in any way until they have good digestion and healthy stom ach. Plant Juice will correct all ail ments of the stomach and digestive organs and put them in healthy con dition. It tones up the appetite, clears the blood of all impurities, eradicates biliousness and malaria from the sys tem. Get a bottle and see for yourself. For sale at The Owl Drug Company stores. Adv.

KIMS HATH PROMPTLY DISAPPEAR Chronic, Crlppled-up, Sufferers Find Relief After Few Doses of New Remedy Are Taken It is needless to suffer any lonser with rheumatism, and he all crippled up, and bent out of shape with its heart-wrenching pains, when you cau surely avoid it. Rheumatism comes from weak, in active kidneys that fail to filter from the blood the poisonous waste matter and uric acid; and it is useless to rub on liniments or take ordinary remedies to relieve the pain. This only pro longs the misery and can't possibly cure you. Tho rtnli- vi:a' tt pure rheumatism is to remove the cause. The new dis- covery. Croxone, does this because it I neutralizes and dissolves all the poi sonous substances and uric acid that lodge in the joints and muscles, to scratch and irritate and cause rheu matism, and cleans out and strength ens the stopped-up. inactive kidneys, so they can filter all the poisons from the blood and drive it on and out of the system. Croxone is the most wonderful medi cine ever made foruring chronic rheu matism, kidney troubles, and bladder disorders. You will find it different trom all other remedies. There is nothing else on earth like it. It mat ters not how old you aie. or how lon you have suffered, it is practically im possible to take it into the human sys tem without results. You will find it a relief from the first few doses, and you will be surprised how quickly all your misery and suffering will end. An original package of Croxone costs but a trifle at any first-class drugstore. All druggists are author ized to sell it on a positive money back guarantee. Three dozes a day is often all that is ever needed to cure the worst backache or overcome urin ary disorders. Adv. LESS DYSPEPSIA ..OW -HERE'S THE REASON Tlid fact that there is less dyspepsia and Indigestion in this community than there used to be is largely, we believe, due to the extensive use of Ilexall Dyspepsia Tablets, hundreds of pack ages of which we have sold.
