THE ALTAR WAS AN ANCIENT COOK STOVE.
The Time-July and August The rest of the family
who called her mother saw what was going on when
it was too late. V .
MORAL: Don't permit any woman you care for to
cook on anything but an Electric Range especially
during the torrid days of July and August. An elec
tric range will do away with the drudgery of handling
fuel and ashes, and will insure a COOL KITCHEN.

. Control of 2.000 feet of the water-
frontage In what Is known as Mocks
bottom, on the east aide, north of the
plant of the Portland Flouring mills
company, i sought on a basis that
will make the purchase price total ap
proximately $1,000000. Those holding
the option are said to represent the
Hamburg-American Steamship com
pany. The company also haa options
on property at San Francisco. S. H.
F. Doherty, Pacific coast agent, has
departed from that city with plans and
specifications to confer with his em
ployera. ' - i
As at San Francisco the Mocks Bot
gtructlon of a series of docks for com
mercial purposes, conalning passenger

made to the rear of a seawall that the
entire tract, which has been regarded
as almost worthless, may be reclaimed
from the O.-W.' R. ft N and Northern
Pacific lines.
' Line to Cross Pacific ,
, The plan of the Hamburg-American
system is to place in service
a line of steamers from New York via
the Panama canal lo Pacific coast
harbors, handling immigrants from
Europe who are to cross the Atlantic
by the eervlce now maintained, and
i thence, embark on the Pacific coast
line. With that is a proposal to es
tablish a trans-Pacific service to Yo
kohama and Asiatic ports. With the
withdrawal of the Portland ft Asiatic
Steamship company from the field,
i through the transfer of its charters on
four a' earners to Frank Waterhouse &
company, marine men assert that no
where on the Pacific elope is there
such a field for the establishment of
a new oriental line as at Portland.
While the Waterhouse Interests have
inaugurated a 20-day service with six
steamers, Portland is virtually off the
map In a sense, for the city has no
direct service acrosg the Pacific, the
schedule providing for calls at Puget
Sound ports both coming and going.
Ilalfof Island May Go.
It haa been pointed out that in a
comparative short time at least half
of Swan island must be removed. The
main road between the island and the
east bank of the Willamette is too har
row " to ' afford the best passage for
heavily-laden stearaerg traveling in
opposite directions, besides there is a
turn that at times bothers pilots. For
those reasons the removal of the is
land has been discussed and with a
view to making the Mocks Bottom
tract valuable the material dredged
from, the island could be pumped
across the river and used for filling.
For six years the Hamburg-American
operated steamers on the Portland
Oriental route, the vessels being un
der charter to the Portland ft Asiatic
Steamship company, the last charter
expiring in May, 1909. The steamers
Arabia, Numantia, Aragonia and Nl
comedla were first on the run, and the
Alesla was substituted for the Ara
gonia. They followed the route of all
vessels that sailed in the fleet, clearing
from Portland for Yokohama and the
usual Asiatic ports as far as Hong
Kong." . : ," '' ' ""
". Portland is the only port of promi
nence on the coast today that ha not
a permanent direct line across the Pa
cific, and the only one where passen
gera are not received. In former days,
when the service wa. handled directly
by the O. R. ft N.. now known a the
O.-W. R. ft N., the steamers were op
erated direct and none tailed from the
other side via San Francisco, and all
carried passengers. As a result, large
cargoes were discharged here and a
portion from every steamer was rout
ed by rail to eastern points.

ACCIDENT, SOT SUICIDE.
Such Is Possible Solution of Sunnyslde
Tragedy This Week.
Coroner Ralph Folsom returned last
evening from Milton, where he had
been called by the violent death of
Fred Gelsler a Sunnyslde rancher,
says a Pendleton paper. By request
of the widow an inquest was held but
the jury failed to fix the responsibility
of death beyond declaring that It was
caused by a fall into a well at his fruit
ranch two miles from Milton. Whether
it was the result of an accident or of
suicidal intent, the Jury would not pre
sume to say, inasmuch as no one wit
nessed the fatal fall.
In h;V story to the coroner's Jury,
the widow declared that when her
husband arose from bed at midnight
and brandished a hatchet over his
head, she did not believe he had any
intentions of doing her violence, but
rather intended to take his own life.
She said she succeeded in taking
the weapon from him, whereupon he
walked toward the pumping house
where there was a cot. She followed
a little later, she said, to see if he
bad gone to bed, but finding the bid
empty' could only Infer that he had
fallen down the well. '
Summoning assistance the well was
dragged and her fears were conflrm-
