BOTH TO STAY ON RIVER Craft Are Expected to Carry About 2,500,000 I'eet of dumber '.Each, ia Pacific Trade. Tho six-masted sailing schooner Cotys, launched at 11:30 yesterday morning by the Peninsula Shipbuild ing company, and her tister ship Cossa, which will go into the water Thursday, were purchased yesterday by Grant Smith & Co. of Portland from the supply and sales division of the emergency fleet corporation. Both vessels will be completed by their new owners immediately an-d will be operated out of the Columbia river in the Pacific lumber trade with Fort- land as their home port. Grant Smith & Co. are widely ...known contractors "and were identi - fied with the Portland, and Aberdeen, "Wash., yards of the Grant Smith-1 .... Porter Ship company. This company -- built 31 steamers and three hulls at ,. Portland, and 11 steamers and four hulls at ttie Aberdeen yard. It is .... estimated that both vessels acquired yesterday will be ready for service in BO davs. Thev are expected to carry : from 2,000,000 to 2,500,000 feet of lum ber each. Ten Holla Are Sold. . The transfer of the Cotys and Cossa makes a total of ten hulls disposed of ' on the coast by the supply and sales -division since October 31, and it was announced today by C. O. Yoakum, general manager of the western dis- - trict, who returned from Philadelphia, that negotiations were under way for " .eight additional hulls. The vessels sold previously include the barken tines Apama, Cremna, Nakoni, Cre mona and Creslone, to the Pacific Freighters company, and the Koosa win to the Charles Nelson company. All are vessels built on Humboldt bay, while the Areturus, a Hough steamer . .hull, was sold at Portland to the Brooks-Scanlon corporation, and the " 'hull of the Delso was sold on the ways to the Sommarstrom Shipbuild ing company, and was again sold to--- day to the San Francisco interests, to be finished as a fishing vessel for Alaskan waters. . Offers Will Be Considered. Regarding a report that hulls might be negotiated for at less than $75,000 for those of the Ferris type and on a basis of $21.40 a ton for other designs, Mr. Yoakum said that any reasonable offer for hulls Remaining on the Pa cific coast would be considered. "So far sales of hulls have been at prices most satisfactory to the ship ping board, but with all of those built as sailing vessels now disposed of, the disposition of the government is to invite prospective purchasers to make their own proposals," said Mr. Yoa Vum. '"It must be remembered, how-'- ever, that the shipping board will deal "' only with- reasonable propositions - made through the supply and eales division which is authorized also to furnish full equipment for Ferris hulls at fair prices, far below the actual value of the machinery, auxiliaries and fittings." In connection with negotiations for " right more vessels, Mr. Yoakum said he was not at liberty to make known the identity of the interests involved. POWHATAN SAFE IX TOW V. S.

Moore of San Fran cisco to cary lumber from the Colum bia river to Sydney, Australia, left San Francisco at 2 o'clock Sunday .afternoon for Portland to begin load ing.

The Admiral Goodrich is late and has not vet been reported off the bar. although THOUSANDS HAVE KIDNEY TROUBLE AND NEVER SUSPECT IT Appl icants for Insurance Often Rejected. Judging from reports from drug pis ts who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very sue cessful in overcoming these condi tions. The mild and healing influence l of Ir. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is soon ! realized. It stands the highest for its remarkable record of success. An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Com panies, in an interview of the sub ject, made the astonishing statement that one reason why so many ap- plicants for insurance are rejected is because kidney trouble is so common to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applications are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is on sale at all drug etores in bottles of two sizes, medium and large. However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. for a sample bottle. When writ ing be sure and mention the Portland Oregon ian. Adv, MERCIER APPEALS TO CHAN CELLOR TO SAVE CHURCH BELLS Plea Is Made Over Head of " Governor-General and Is Successful, Like Manifesto to German Emperor Over Deportations. CARDINAL, MKRCIER'S STORY J Including his correspondence a with the German authorities in Belgium during the war, 1914 to 1918, edited by Professor t Kernand Mayence of Louvain T University and translated by J the Benedictine Monks of St. x Augustine's, Ramsgate, England. Explanatory Comment by Profeoaor remand Mayence. I X protesting to the German au thorities against the iniquities of their rule in Belcrium. Cardinal Mercier seldom went over the heads of the officials of the occupying ma chinery. It is noteworthy, however, that on two major occasions he addressed higher imperial representatives with success. His manifesto sent directly to the emperor concerning the crime of the Belgian deportations attained something of the desired effect. The comprehensive plan of systematic slavery was abandoned. Such deport ing as was conducted was on a much smaller scale than had originally been intended. The second time in which the primate scored a substantial victory oy taKing Jus appeal to a higher court was in February. 1918. when he subjoined letter was dispatched Count von Hertling. then chan- ellor of the empire. There was in- efeasible logic in the cardinal's po tion upon the articles of The Hague convention. Of even greater potencv n this cause was the attitude of the Belgian public toward their beloved bells. The seizure of them would with out question have inflamed the popu- ace. It would have constituted not only an affront to religion but an outrage to national sentiment. The ordered inventory of all the bronze bells and .zinc organ pipes in Belgium was ineffective. The holy see was aroused and forwarded its own protest against confiscation. No formal announcement of a change of purpose was made, but the bells were aved to chime exultantly when the king and his unconquerable people came again into their own. The ban against bell confiscation must have been a severe blow to the Germans in the later stages of the war when the shortage of metals was acute. The substance of large bells s a mixture of tin and copper in the proportion of four to one. Zinc and ead are used in the smaller ones. But no agents of destruction were she was scheduled to arrive here yester day. SEATTLE, M'ash., Jan. 2G. (Special.) Ready for immediate service, tho 4t00 ton 'wooden motorship Boobyalla will be delivered by the Patterson Mac Donald plant to the Australian commonwealth Kovernment between February 10 and "..", t was estimated this morning" by John L. McLean, general manager. After the delivery, the Australian government will turn the new carrier over to J. it..

Nicholson, of the coast steamship service of the Grand Trunk Pacific Steamship company with head quarters in Vancouver, B. C, announced today that the steamships Prince George and Prince Rupert will be changed from English to Canadian regis try. The two vessels were built in Newcastle-on-Tyne and are registered In that port. The proposed change is the result of the new pilotage regulations of the Canadian government, which require that coastwise vessels not under Canadian registry pay pilotage charges. Averaging rnore than $2,000,000 a day. Seattle s water-borne commerce aggre gated $750,079,007 in 1919, it was dis closed by compilations made this morn- ing from the monthly reports of Port Warden A. A. Paysse. The grand total is approximately $30,000,000 higher than was expected by experts, who had est! mated that the port would do well if it touched the $700,000,000 mark. Reporting the - ioss at sea of John Cos tlgan, one of her fishermen, the Schooner America, Captain M. V. Keating, arrived in Seattle last night from the fish ing banks. Costigan fell from the deck of the America at noon January 18, white the vessel was off the Queen Charlotte is lands in fine weather. He was on the after deck of the America and is be lieved to have fallen against the rail by tripping on a piece of line. Shipmates said today they believe he was stunned by the blow when he struck the schoon er's rail. SAN PEDRO, Cal., Jan 26. (Special.) The motorship Lassen, in attempting to take a short-cut to enter the harbor at noon today stuck in the mud near Dead man's island.

The Wilmington Transportation com pany last week formally turned over to William "Wrlgley, chewing gum magnate and owner of Santa Catalina island, its tugboat and their business. The Wilming ton transportation was the pioneer towing company of San Pedro. PORT TOWNSEXD, Wash., Jan. 21. (Special.)

She discharged some freight at Vancouver. She then wnt to Nanaimo. where she coaled. She will load outward at Seattle. Seventy-nine days from Sydney, the schooner Rosamond is anchored at Xeah Bay awaiting a tug to bring her here for quarantine inspection, hue win loaa lum ber on Puget sound for Cape Town.

The cargoes will be ready to load in February, according to announcement made by Clu ere t. Jacks & Partners. Inc. The rates offered are $40 per 1000 feet to China and $2. to Cuba. Some anxiety prevails in shipping circles for the safety or the Japanese Steamer K. Kohshun Maru, which is five days overdue from the orient. The anxiety is based on the fact that the big craft sailed from the orient in ballast and severe storms hava prevailed on tne jfacuic since she sailed tor Puget boudq. SAN DIEGO., Cai., Jan. 26.

Fred Hooper, traffic manager, announced today. Hooper said tnat ne nas now nine vessels in hi service ana mere win oe little difficulty in keeping them supplied with full cargoes until tne rusii oi o us in ens oesrins in Am gust. At that time, according to Hooper, It will be necessary to add to the fleet for the present snips in the service wii not be sufficient to handle the volume of business now oeing arranged for. Thomas Pollard, veteran shipping man who was one oi tne early pioneers i local shipping circles, passed away at hi; home In Ross Valley today. The veteran was 84 years old. A crew of ten men, including ship of ficers, left for Seattle tonight to take over the tug v van da, recently acquired by the Peterson company. Henry Peter son accompanied the crew in person. made from a single bell in any of the churches that survived the first fury of the German invasion. The cardinal's triumph was un equivocal. CHAPTER XLV. Early in the winter or 1917-18. though the output" of the.Belgian coal mines had not sensibly lessened, coal was almost unobtainable. The occu pying power limited more and more the coal ration of the people. Acting on the instructions of the governor-general. Baron von der Lancken informed the cardinal that it was needful to practice the greatest economy in the consumption of coal. This letter was a reproduction, more or less, of one he had already written on the same subject in February, 1917. His eminence replied directly to the governor-general, proving by figures that if the scarcity of coal were great the blame must be solely attributed to the German requisitions. "Archbishop's House, Malines, "November 24, 1917. "To His Excellency Baron von Fal kenhausen. Governor - General, Brussels. x "The letter with which your excel lency has favored me through the obliging medium of Baron von der Lancken informs me that the quan tity of coal allotted by your govern ment for distribution among the Bel gian people consistently grows less and less, so that not only private houses but also schools arid churches will have to suffer from the general scarcity. I do not complain of the extension of the same treatment to all alike, but I fail to understand how this regime of famine comes to be imposed upon us. Belgium is a rich country and yet our people are im poverished to the point of being hun gry and cold. "Official statistics, which I have by me, prove that the coal-producing in dustry yielded in 1910 24.000,000 tons and in each of the four following years 23,000.000 tons. If we deduct from these figures the quantity con sumed in the collieries, this leaves an annual average of 21,000,000 tons available for sale and distribution. Taking the Belgian population at a rough estimate of 6.000,000. each In habitant ought to be allotted more than three tons, I. e., 3000 kilos of coal per annum. "In the name of our starving peo ple, dismayed by the outlook for the winter, I beg your excellency to call to mind the promise made by your predecessors and realize your own re sponsibilities in this matter."

Four deaths in 21 hours charged against influenza, one in Portland, two in Pendleton and one near St. Helens, were reported up to a late hour last night to state and city health officers. These deaths con stitute the first fatalities reported against the disease since its out break in the state last we At.

There are 50 cases in Pendleton. Baker, which hitherto had reported none, discovered 25 yesterday.. Rose burg had also added 14 to its list. i:icht laies in Portland. Kight positive cases were quaran tined yesterday in Portland, but health officials reported that in each instance the case was a mild one. Ac cording to health bureau records, 18 positive influenza cases are in isola tion. Throughout the state, reports con tinue showing some increases in cases, and in other instances new out breaks. The sudden turn in the weather, may aid in the fight against the disease in some of tho downstate cities and towns, according to Health Officer Roberg. The first death in Portland this year chargeable to influenza was that of Mrs. "W. R. Messenger, 895 Al bina avenue. Mrs. Messenger had been ill less than 24 hours prior to her death. Martin Breggs, a high school stu dent, living at Yankton, Or., died Sun day, death, according to State Health Officer Roberg, being caused by typical hemorrhagic pulmonary form of influenza.

Dr. Robere yesterday issued a let ter to all city and county health offi cers advising them of the new ruling promulgated by the state board to handle the Influenza situation. A por tion oc the letter ioiiows: The state board of health, at a special meeting in Portland January 24. passed emergency rules and regulations which are deemed adequate to cope with the epi demic of so-called Spanish influenza. These regulations are. brief -y. to the etiect thai all persons occupying a position to which other persons are subordinate, and under their control, shall report all caBes of Influenza occurring among their subordin ates and all persons who have Huspicious symptoms to the health oiiicer naving jurisdiction, and shall refuse to permit such persons to remain at their work so lone as such suspicious conditions exist. being responsible for those under their control pending action by tne n;aitn of ficer or other physician. All persons, whether physicians, prac titioners, healers, owners or keepers ot lodging houses, hotels, restaurants, board ing houses, dairy farms, superintendents or managers of private or public hospitals or sanitoria, visiting nurses, heads of schools, teachers In common and Sunday schools, and heads of households are required im mediately to quarantine all cases of so called Spanish influenza, and report to the health officer all circumstances which would reasonably cause one to suppose that a case of SpanisTi tnriuenza might be developing, carefully informing the health officer having jurisdiction over the habi tation, or place of employment, or resi dence of th person infected. Quarantine, In every case to be strictly maintained un til raised by the health officer. Placards Are Required. Health officers are required to furnish placards and detail instructions- to all other persons within their jurisdictions when quarantine is established by such qther persons. There is no known preventive inocu lation against the so-called Spanish in fluenza. The adequate enforcement of these regulations will be the best known method of preventing the spread of the epidemic, and the health officers within their respective jurisdictions are charged with the strict enforcement of these meas ures. While the policy of the state board of health is against closure of churches, schools, theaters, and other places where public gatherings are held, it does earnest ly request the co-operation of the general public in the matter of voluntarily avoid ing unnecessary exposures. LIQUOR OH SHIPS FREE GOVERNMENT LOWERS BARS TO USE OX ALIEN VESSELS. Rutins; Says That l'orcign Ships Are Comparable to Ground Used by Embassies and Consuls. PROVIDENCE. R. I., Jan. 26. Pro hibition against use of liquors on for eign vessels in American ports has been lifted pending determination of the law by the attorney-general, ac cording to instructions of the secre tary of the treasury received here to day by Collector of Customs Frank E. FLtzsimmons. . , WASHINGTON. Jan. 26. Orders re quiring liquors on foreign vessels to be sealed while the ships, are in United States ports, have been sus pended pending a ruling by the at torney-general. Assistant. Secretary o the Treasury Shouz announced, to day. ,. The action was regarded here to in dicate that the port ban rm liniHirq on foreign snips win De lined per manently. s The treasury decision rendered some weeks ago under which it "was held ' that when a foreign vessel reached the three-mile limit alMiquors aboard should be sealed and remain sq until leaving port was based on an ODlnion by the solicitor of the treas ury department. A protest was made to the state aepartment by Italy, Its) being stated that wine was a part of the regular, ration of the crews. Other governments are understood to have made informal protests and the mat ter was referred to the atotrney-gen-eral. International comity requires that every possible courtesy be shown for- eign governments, Mr. Shouz said, and while rules and regulations of 'American ports are controlled by the United States, foreign vessels, like embassies, should be regarded as for eign soil so far as prohibition control is concerned. Embassies and legations are permit ted to keep any liquors they desire on their premises, t i , Shipyard Picketing Prevented. SAN' FRANCISCO. Cal.'. Jan. 26.

Hole in Pontoon Is Cau.-e of Partial Sinking: of Customs Patrol Boatliouse. J. C. Glover, operator of the United Slates customs patrol boat H. W. Scott, witli his wife and brother-in-law, Frank Taylor, narrowly escaped submersion and possible drowning at 1 :0 yesterday morning by fleeing in their night clothes when their hous boat at the foot of Main Ftreet. which also the customs patrol boat- house, canted over ani started, to sink. The partial sinking of tho craft was due to a hole in one of the pontoons upon which it floated. The damaKe probably was caused by an accumulation of drift wood between the boathousc and the dock, against which the pontoon was crushed by the waves from a passing steamer. Occupants of the houseboat suc ceeded in escaping to the dock, and the only damage was material. Glover and Taylor secured a cable from the lower side of the sinking craft to the dock, thus preventing the houseboat from turninti on its beam ends. The launch H. "V. Scott was im prisoned by the partial sinking of the float, but was extricated yester day afternoon and found to be damaged to the extent of about J200. Furniture from the houseboat was salvaged and placed on the dock, and last night nothing remained within but the kitchen range. It is believed that the damaged pontoon can be pumped out and repaired within a few days. T IS LET COAST SHIPBUILDING COM PAXV TO REPAIR SHIP.

Then in the spring of lMst year I was taker down with the 'flu,' and being already in a weakened, run-down condition, tile attack was exiremely severe on, me. I was left with no appetite and. my stomach in a worse condition than ever. I could hardly c:tt anything without suffering intense pain and such a pressure on my heart that I could scarcely breathe. I was losing weight, had the worst sort of head aches and was so dizzy at times I could hardly walk. 1 also had severs pains in the small of my back, suf fered with heartburn, constipation, and bloating, and never knew what a well day was. ' "I had been reading the testimo nials for Tanlac for borao time and, as eome of them were given by people, of my acquaintance, I concluded to try the medicine myself. Well, it just seemed to suit my cas exactly and has acted so differently from other medicines I have used. By the tirr my first bottle was gone 1 had a good appetite and the gas had stopped forming on my stomach. Then I bought another bottle, then another and so on and just kept improving until my ailments all disappeared, t am now enjoying better health than I have in five years. In fact, I am feeling unusually strong and well and all the praise, thanks and gratituda for this wonderful change in my con dition belong to Tanlac. If everybody knew its galue as I do no homo would be without it." Tanlac is sold in Portland by tho Owl Drug Co. Adv. ment of Kelso river front property.
