This well-known boat, formerly owned by the Hosfords, and now in tha Western Transportation Company's fleet, has been on the Washougal run. leaving Portland In the morning. Owing to the many requests by residents above Washougal who have no morning boat, the owners have decided to run between Moffitt's Springs, opposite Bonneville and Portland, making a round trip by aylight. leaving Moffitt's Springs at 6 A. M., returning leaving Portland at 2:30 P. M. This will certainly be a great conven ience to upper river people, enabling them to-do In one day what formerly required two. The lone has always been considered one of the fastest boat's on the river, and when on The Dalles run, In the frequent races between the dif ferent crack boats, always gava a good account of herself.1. It is believed that this excellent service will tend to make Moffitt's Springs a splendid place for an end-week stay, the lone making It possible to leave at 2:30 Saturdays and arrive back Monday morning. one-half of Its present value. The tem ple will cost a little more than $:00,0O0, and the interior furnishings will add about Jl'O.ooo to that amount. All except about $2j.O0O of the otock has now been subscribed, and it Is expected that this will be met by the grand lodge at its comins meeting. All of the stock Is held by Masons. The building will be five stories In height and will be exceedingly attractive in appearance. The lower floor, will be divided Into rooms for five stores. The grand lodge room will be on the second floor, and the ceiling will be even with the fourth floor of the building. The re mainder of the third floor will contain a banquet hall and offices of the secretary. Two lodgerooms, committee-rooms and .other apartments adapted to Masonic rites will be on tho fourth floor, and the grand commandery rooms and hall of the Eastern Star will occupy the upper story.

DECLINES TO TAKE ACTION Ordinance Will Become Effective, Without His Signature, as He Has Promised Xot to Veto the Measure. After drawing up and BlgnliiR the con tract provided for In the ordinance passed by the Council Friday. Mayor Lane turned over to City Auditor Devlin yes terday afternoon the ordinance granting the Front-street franchise to the United Railways Company with the Information that he would allow it to become a law without hl signature. The period during which fhe Mayor might sign or veto the ordinance will expire Tuesday, when, as ho will take no action upon It, It will be adopted without his signature and tho franchise will be In the hands of the company. Hold Long Conference. J. Whyt'e Evans, president of the United Railways Company, and Seneca Smith, of the Initiative One Hundred, held a long conference with the Mayor yesterday afternoon,' during -which the last steps In granting the United Railways fran chise were taken. After signing the or dinance granting authority to enter with the company Into a contract for the pur chase of the Front-Btreet line at any time by the city, the Mayor also ratified the contract which was signed at the same time toy President Evans. Immediately after tha signatures had been affixed to the contract. Mayor Iane passed the franchise ordinance to Auditor Devlin, saying that he was now willing for It to become a law. "I do not believe that the ordinance Is In every way an Ideal one." said Mayor lane "and because its provisions are not In entire accord with my ideas I shall not sign it. However, as the people of the city have had an opportunity to suggest any changes they desire and the fran chise now accords with their wishes, I hall not oppose it. but am willing for It to Immediately become a law." Will Begin AVork at Once. W. Grifflss, secretary of the United Railways Company, said last night, that WILL (I YELLOWSTONE PARK CONTEST v- his company would take immediate steps to construct the Front-stieet line and would follow out the terms of the fran chise in every particular. "We shall be gin our final survey Wednesday," he said, "and shall proceed with construction about 'June 10 or 15." We3 regard the Front-street line as the most urgent part of our system, as the manufacturers of South Portland are especially anxious to be put In immediate connection with the terminal yards In North Portland. "If we can get material without delay, the construction of the Kront-strcet line should not take more than 60 days. There may be some delay from this , source, however, .which will prevent us -from completing the line as soon as we other wise would. As soon as we complete the road on Front street we will begin work upon the Forest Grove line, which Is to run out Stark, Twelfth and Pcttygroy streets.: RURAL LETTER-CARRIERS They Elect Officers and Pass Sev eral Sets of Resolutions.

It Is probable that no announcement of the winners of The Oregonian Yel lowstone Park contest can be made be fore a week from today. The judges rep resenting different candidates labored from 9 o'clock Friday night until 5 o"clock Saturday morning counting the millions of votes. A majority of the ballots have been counted, but until the votes from all the outside districts have been received and duly credited no an nouncement can be made. The names pf a few of the fortunate young ladles who were victorious In this remarkable contest are known, but it hat been decided to make no partial an nouncement, so ail will have to wait until a 'publication can be made of the complete lists. Needless to say, the an nouncement of the winners will be await ed with feverish anxiety by the several hundred hopeful candidates and their nu merous friends. Brings Many Surprises. The last day of the contest, whleh is unique in the history of similar contests conducted by other newspapers and dur ing which more than $20,000 was taken in, brought many surprises which will glad den the hearts of some of the candidates atid bring disappointment to some. More money was taken In by The Oregonian during the law day J2O.O00 than some newspapers in metropolitan .cities took In during the entire duration of similar contests. Some of the candidates who thought themselves secure and were satisfied that they would be numbered smong the for tunate ones, now find themselves dis placed. Others of the candidates who were far in the rear and who It was thought had but plight chances of success won out the last day. As was expected, the voting of the concluding day of the contest far ex ceeded that of previous days. For weeks the candidates have been saving their votes and Just sending In enough to keep up with their competitors. They did this so as not to disclose their Ftrength, and they knew that practically all of the candidates were doing exactly the Saras thing. Then the last day they flooded The Oregonian with votes and money and the rush was much greater than- expected, although It was known that the voting would be tremendously heavy. As much as $1000 was received the final day from several of the girls for subscriptions they had obtained for which they were given votes. Call on Contest Managers. Many of the candidates called upon the contest manager yesterday to inquire as to the outcome. Several of them told of vivid experiences they had passed through while canvassing for votes. Re markable energy and perseverance was shown by the young ladles and all of the candidates worked nobly, and it is to be regretted that they cannot all be taken on the delightful trip that has been ar ranged. But those who worked the hard est and displayed the greatest energy and "stlcktoitiveness" are the fortunate ones and those who are entitled more than the others to the trip to the Yellowstone and tbe other places of unusual interest. How ever, some of the young ladies who worked very hard were beaten out. One very popular young lady of Port land obtained more than 40,000 votes from one business concern in this city. Bhe is going to the Yellowstone. The manager of this particular business concern was very anxious to have the young lady win out. He inquired among the employes and found that nearly all of them were subscribers to The Oregonian. Most of them had the paper - delivered at their homes and paid by the month. The manager went to . them , and told them that he would pay aM of their sub scriptions a year in advance and deduct so much a month from their wages, the same amount they would have to pay tbe carrier. Then upon the last day all of these subscriptions wers turned in to The Oregonian. The advancing of this large sum of money and the extra clerical work caused by the arrangement Is evi dence of the extraordinary interest taxen in the contest. "If I were compelled to go out and make a living for myself. I believe I would take up soliciting," said one of the young lady candidates yesterday after noon who is probably one of the winners. "Obtaining subscriptions has become second-nature to me, you might say, and I have got so that I like the work very much. Experience In Getting Votes. "When I was first urged by my friends to enter the contest I had but little idea of its magnitude and of the immense number of votes I would have to secure to win out. I first began by cutting out coupons from the dally issues of The Ore gonian, but I soon found myself at the bottom of the list. I heard that my com. petltors were out soliciting subscriptions, and I decided to adopt similar tactics.- I first talked to my friends and got them to renew their subscriptions and those who did not take The Oregonian to be come subscribers. Soon however, the field offered by my friends became ex hausted and I had to look elsewhere for votes. "The fact that my competitors were ahead of me caused me to muster up suf ficient courage to-olicit among strangers. At first I felt very much embarrassed and I would approach thera in a very timid and half-hearted way. But all of them treated me with the utmost cour- yysy, and I soon felt at home In my new " v : j - ,- ft. ' y ' '" i - v . ' , V - ' , . w A. - i ... . MULTNOMAH INDEPENDENT CITIZENS' CANDIDATE For SHERIFF (No. On Official Ballot 119) Multnomah County AS IT LOOKS capacity of solicitor. I got so that I werit into business houses. "One prominent business nan told me that no less than a dozen candidates had called .upon him, and that he had secured subscriptions fur all of them. He him self was paid up many years in advance when' I saw him, but he got several of the employes to take subscriptions. He said he admired the spunk and get-up of the candidates. 'Oh, you are another of those Oregonian Yellowstone Parkers." was a very common expression for me to hear. Solicits Among Farmers. "Finally I got so that I went out on the road and even drove out into the country to see the farmers. I remember one large subscription I got from a farmer who waa plowing in a field about a half-mile square. 1 had been out all day in 'a buggy and had done but little, and was feeling very discouraged. I saw this farmer in the field, and I had a sort of Intuition that he would help me. "I trudged across the field about half a mile to where he was. He was greatly surprised when I told him I was a candi date in The Oregonian Yellowstone Park contest and that I wanted his sub scription. "'Where do you live 7" " he said. ... "Portland," I replied. " 'You don't mean to tell me that you are away out here after votes and that you walked clear across that field Just to sea me?' he. continued. .'Well. I will do all I can to send you to the Yellowstone. I take The Oregonian already, but I will help you." "He didn't have any money with him, but I left my address, and when I got home I found a check for. a five-year sub. scrlptlon awaiting me.

Persons in whose blood the uric acid, which produces the disease, has collected, feel its troublesome pains and aches all the year round. The cause of Rheumatistn.is a sour, acid condition of the blood, brought about by the accumulation in the system of refuse matter, which the natural ave nues of bodily waste have failed to carry off. This refuse matter coming: ia contact with the different acids of the body, forms uric acid which is absorbed by the blood and distributed to all parts of the body, and Rheumatism gets possession of the system. Rheumatic persons are almost constant sufferers ; the nagging pains in joints and muscles, are ever present under the most favorable climatic conditions, while exposure to- dampness or an attack of indigestion will often bring on the severer symptoms even in warm, pleas ant weather. Liniments, plasters, lotions, etc., relieve the pain and give the sufferer temporary comfort, but are in no sense curative ; because Rheumatism is not drawn PURELY VEGETABLE. anl building up the thin, sour blood, cures Rheumatism permanently. Being made en tirely of roots; herbs and barks, S. S. S. will not injure the system in the iucumausm ana any meaicai aavice wiinour. cnarge. " kTHE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GAm. " s terested his friends and I must have ob tained at least 20 subscriptions through his influence." Cowboys Give Subscriptions. Another little girl who lives east'of the Cascades made a canvatw of several largo ranches on horseback. She was absent from home for nearly two- weeks and was miles and mllea from the railroad, but when she returned she had thou sands of votes. There were a dozen cow boys employed on one ranch and all of them had their employer advance them money to take subscriptions. All these papers'were not needed on one ranch, but the cowboys admired the plucky llttla girl and wanted to assist in her victory. She went from ranch to ranch and not once did she have to pa.y for accommo dations. She says that it was one of the most pleasant experiences of her life and one that she will never forget. Dozens of other Instances of the cour age of the young lady candidates could be told. Kvery city, village and hamlet embraced in the scope of the contest has been thoroughly canvassed and there are but very few farmers and ranchers wh were not seen by the intrepid candidates.
