THE 5I0BNIKG OHEGONIAH, "THTJUSDAT, MAY 10. 1900. MONEY FOR A RAILROAD f700,000 FOR. COJTSTTUJCnOX OF THE COVELLO LEVE. Xertgr&se- Has Been Filed la Celtua- nla. CeHB.tr "Waanlngrton Contracts for Carrying; Grata This Tear. DAYTON. Wash.. May 9. That the Covello & Columbia River Railway Com pany means business Is no longer a matter of doubt In this county. A mortgage lor 5700,000, In favor of the Produce Exchange Trust Company, of New York, was filed in the Auditor's office today, and bonds amounting to 5700,000 have also been Issued. The bonds are 20-year, first mort gage, 5 per cent bonds, drawing Interest from the 1st day of April, 1200. The Covello & Columbia River Railway Company Is capitalized for 51.000,000, and the bonds are for the purpose of securing money with which to construct a railroad from Cevollo, this county, to Riverside, "Walla "Walla County, a distance of 35 miles, down the "Whetstone Hollow. The company has been organized since last Fall, and during the past six months has been working quietly securing right of way deemed necessary In order to Get a foothold In the territory and make a respectable showing among railroad peo ple. Besides right-of-way privileges secured by the company, it has also entered into traffic agreements with the farmers for a term of-five years, securing for that length of time 3,000,000 bushels of grala annually, to be transported over the road. This Is considered to be the best play yet made by the Covello company. "While the Northern Pacific people were industriously picking up "bits of right of way along the same route, thinking thereby to discour age the Cdvello company, the Covello peo ple were" following right In their wake securing traffic agreements, which are all in writing, and are conditional thattho road be built in the year 1300. From what can be learned, it is more than likely' that the Covello & Columbia road will eventually become a feeder to the river system, making its western ter minus at "Wallula. J. A. Thronson, who Is president of the Covello company. Is now at The Dalles, and It Is surmised that be has gone there to confer with some of the officials of the river system. The Covello company was organized for the purpose of building a road for the relief of the farmers In the Covello and "Whetstone countries, they having given up all hope of securing a road from either the O. R. & N. or North ern Pacific companies. The O. R. & N. has a roadbed graded to Covello now, but owing to the tie-up between that company and the Northern Pacific, the farmers saw that unless they put their, shoulders to the wheel their relief would be Indefinitely postponed. Now that the Covello company Is In a fair way to be gin operations in a short time, the farmers feel that this year's crop will be moved for them by that company. KORTHWEST DEAD. XV. S.

Among the passengers in a well-filled parlor car coming from Cleveland to De troit was a lumber salesman from thl end of the route. He Is tall, has a deep voice, piercing eyes, a strong face and the general appearance associated with a professional man. Near him sat a pale gentleman, who moaned, moved restlessly in his seat, and was unmistakably sick. "What's the matter?" abruptly asked the salesman. "I feel -very IIL" "Pshaw! You don't have to tell me that. Let me feel your pulse. Tm a doctor. Put out your tongue. Indigestion. I'll fix you In five minutes." He hurried to the water tank, poured out a big straw colored dose and hurried back. "Swallow this." "But It's whisky. I never' touch the stuff." "Drink it or you won't live tin miles, fast as we're going." Down It went, and shortly the two were laughing and talking as though neither had ever felt a pain.

BhLATED EAST AFRICAN HONOLULU SHIP MAY nAVE MET WITH DISASTER. Bas Skip Weadur Dae Jfext Meati Sierra Xevada Lost Seattle Shanshalers Notes. The British ship Argus arrived In at Astoria yesterday, IS days from Port Los Angeles. Last week the Russian ship Sylfld arrived In. after a passage of 23 days from Yokohama. These two vessels one from the west, and the other from the south-oth making good passages, are causing some speculation as to the where; abouts of the British bark East African, which left Honolulu for Portland S3 days ago. She is now out longer than any of the vessels which have come up from the Island port, and it is feared that she may have met with trouble. This b.ellef Is strengthened by the arrival at San Francisco Tuesday of the American ship Cyrus Wakefield with fore topgallant-mast and main topmast missing. The Cyrus Wakeflefa left Honolulu two days ahead of the East African, and the same- gale which mussed up her rigging may have left the East African in a simi lar disabled condition. TRAJCS-PACDFIC RATES. Important Caaxtgres to Be Made la the Paiienger Tarin. SAN FRANCISCO, May 9. Important changes in the trans-Pacific passenger tariff will go into effect June 15. When the Oriental traffic conference adjourntd sine die last Friday, it authorized a sub committee to overhaul passenger rates. The committee has advanced the first class or cabin faro from Hong Kong, via Pacific Coast ports; to London, from 57 to 62. The Suez lines are said to have suggested the advance of about 25. Rates from Oriental ports to Pacific Coast ports have been advanced to the basis of fares from this coast to the Orient. The rate from San Francisco, Seattle and other Coast ports to Shanghai and Hong Kong has all along been $225 for cabin passage. From Hong Kong and Shanghai to this Coast It has been J1S3, but It Is to be advanced to $225. Nona of the outgoing fares Is to be disturbed, and all of the incoming fares arc to be raised. From Yokohama to this Coast the new rate will be $200. That Is the outgoing rate. Similarly the rate from Kobe to all Coast ports will be Increased to $207 50. The fare from Nagasaki Is to be raised to $218. The steerage rate of $40 from this Coast to Hong Kong and Shanghai Is to bo increased. The amount of the increase and tho date It will become effective has not yet been settled. The steerage rate from China ports to this Coat Is to remain at $100, Mexican. From this Coast to Yoko-hama- the steerage rate of $35 will not be disturbed. The rate on steerage busi ness from Japan to this Coast was fixed at 60 yen, or about $25. The committee, however, realizes that the steerage rate from Japan must vary and range below 50 yen so long as the present tide of Japa nese Immigration to the Coast continues. Trajnp steamers are playing a most Im portant part In handling this Immigra tion, and they are making a steerage rate of 18 and 20 yen for lots of 200 and S00 Japanese. In order to get any of the business the regular steamer lines, as rep resented by the committee, must make the same fare as the tramps. The mem bers of the committee are confident that Japanese Immigration will soon diminish. Once It gets down to a normal basis, rate demoralization will cease. FUGET SOTWD SHANGBAnNO. Seattle Paper Has Made a Remark able Discovery. Captain McCauley, of the British ship Holywood, was arrested at Seattle a few days ago on the charge of unlawfully ad vancing money to seamen. Owing to the scarcity of sailors, he was compelled to pay a liberal advance of else keep his ship tied -up Indefinitely. While technical ly guilty of a violation of tho law, the authorities took a common-sense view of the matter, and he was discharged. Tho Seattle Press-Times, in commenting on the case, says: "Shanghaiing, or a practice that ap proaches so closely to It that It is diffi cult for even the seasoned salt to tell the difference. Is being carried on extensively In Puget Sound ports. The word dreaded by seafaring men In every part of the world has become quite common In both Tacoma and Seattle. Occasionally a case leaks out In which it Is shown that care less sailors have been spirited aboard ships lying In this and Tacoma harbors against their wills, but the Federal au thorities have up to the present tlmo been unable to secure sufficient proofs to secure a conviction. "United States Attorney Guy made state, ments today before United States Com missioner Kleffer that lead the outsider to believe that ho holds Information to the effect that shanghaiing is being carried on In Pugot Sound ports. In fact, during the hearing- of the case of Captain McCauley and Dave Evans, charged with having un lawfully advanced money to secure sea men, Mr. Guy made the statement that sailors were being secured by unlawful means for outgoing ships, and that he in tended to put a stop to the practice." BAG SHIP SOOS DUE. Tae TVendnr, for Portland, Is Out 100 Days From Calcutta. The British ship Euphrosyne, the first bag ship of the season to reach the Pa cific Coast, has arrived at Saa Francisco, after a passage of 118 days. The Euphro syne "brought 1,923,000 grain bags and over 10,000 bales of Jute. The British ship Wcn dur, which Is en route from Calcutta to Portland, Is the next bag ship due on the Coast. The Wendur left the Ganges only 20 days later than the Euphrosyne, and as she Is a fairly good sailer, she might be looked for most any time after June 1. It Is hardly, possible that the remark able experience of the Macduff, which was last season's bag ship for Portland, will be repeated this season, and grain bags will hardly soar to such fancy prices as they did last August, Just prior to the arrival of the Macduff. There Is one other ship, the FIngal, en route to San Francisco from Calcutta, but she brlng3 only a partial cargo of bags, and the cargo of the Wendur will be the largest to come to the Coast this year. THE SAILOR'S "WOES. Master of the 3file Sued In San Fran cisco. Suit was filed In San Francisco Monday by Theodore Fastlns against Nell McCal- lutn, master of the British ship Nile, to recover $10,000 damages for false Imprison ment. Plaintiff alleges that between March 23 and April 27, 1900, the defendant Impris oned nim on the rlle and Kept him there confined In a close, dark, noisome and foul place between decks, with handcuffs on his wrists, and refused to supply him with the common necessaries of life, but save him as food on each of the whole of said days nothing but bread and water, caus ing the -plaintiff great physical suffering. His health became endangered, and his wrists sore and blistered from the chafing caused oy the handcuffs, for which plaint iff claims damages In the sum of $10,CO0. SIERRA NEVADA LOST.

The love of children and the care of them is a great bar to selfishness. With out children husband and "wife each seek hoTT to please themselves, and drift into a life of divided interests and separate pleasures. The lacking link of love needed to bind husband and wife together is the little child "with its prattle and its plav, its morning song and evening prayer. Many a woman who by reason of disease, weak ness, or some physical defect, has been doomed by the ordinary practitioner to perpetual childlessness, has foand in Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription a medicine to cure her disease, to give her strength, or to remove her physical disabilities. A " HopaUss Qmmh" Oared I wish to add my testimony to hundreds of others as to the valae of Dr. Pierce's medicines," writes Mrs. Ida M. De Ford, of Latona. Hubbard Co., Minn. "Have doctored with a great many physicians, some specialists; have twice been in a hospital for treatment. My case has been re garded as a hopeless one, and they knew not what the trouble was. Heart was bad; stomach all out of order; tired out, severe pains in all parts of the body; sinking spells and. nearly every ailment a woman could have. I took many a bottle of dif ferent 'patent medioirwa ' without effect. I began taking Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, and ten months afterward I gave birth to a ten pound boy. All physicians had stated as a fact that I never could bear a child. Both the baby and myself were strong, and I got along splendidly thanks to your medicine. I do my own work and feel very much encouraged. I wish all suffering women would thoroughly try your 'Favorite Prescription., n Cures such as Mrs. De Ford's are not uncommon when "Favorite Prescription" is" given a fair and faithful trial. The noteworthy fact is that when specialists and surgeons have failed, "Favorite Pre scription" effects a care; when all physicians stated as a fact that child-bearing was impossible, "Favor ite Prescription" put them to utter shame. The succeesfal cares broaght about by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription are dae to the fact that it makes weak womea strong and sick women welL Weakness and sickness are the chief hind rances to motherhood. When strength and health are restored the wife is lifted to the normal plane of womanhood and maternity becomes at once her privilege and her Tjleaaore. sggS ! w lHi03gn V A MmrHodJSlx Ymms anrf Ghfft&mss "I have never written yoa how grateful I am to you for your help' in seeming good health and ono of the sweetest, dearest, thirteen poundgirls that ever came into a home," writes Mrs. M. Yastine, of 647 South Liberty Street, Galesburg, IIL "When I wrote you about my ailments I was living in Rich land, Iowa. I took six bottles of Dr. Pierce's Fa vorite Prescription, four of the 'Golden Medical Discovery ' and four vials of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. Before I had "taken four bottles of the 'Favorite Prescription' I was a new woman. I cannot make pen describe my heart-felt gratitude, so will close by saying if any one disputes the value of Dr. Pierce's medicines I will be pleased to con firm the truth of all I say if they will inclose stamped envelope for reply. There is no other medicine which can compare with Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription as a pre parative for the trial of maternity. It prevents or cures morning sickness. It tranqailizea the nerves, encourages the appetite and causes the sleep to be sound and refreshing. With the strength of body it gives, come also strength and peace of mind. There is no shrinking from the coming ordeal, but such a feeling of exuberanC health that aH anxiety and fear are entirely 'banished. And this feeling 'iCl is entirely justified by the results. The nse of "Fa vorite Prescription " makes the baby's advent prac tically painless, and gives the mother abundant strength to nurse and nourish her child. . kxprQssfoI Relief, t "I believe I owe my life to Dr. Pierce's remedies, and have long felt it my duty to express my deep heartrfelt gratitude to you, and to acknowledge the benefit I received from Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre scription and 'Pleasant Pellets,'" says Mrs. Maria O. Hayzel, writing from Brookland, D. C. "Six years ago, after the birth of one of my children, I was left in a weak, run down condition. My health seemed utterly gone. I suffered from nervousness, female weakness and rheumatism, and X suffered everything one could suffer from these complaints. Life was a burden. I doctored with three different physicians and got no relief. I tried several pat ent medicines, all with the same result. I began to get worse, and to add to the complications, I suf fered terribly from constipation. I chanced to see one of your advertisements and concluded to try the above remedies. I commenced toA take Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and 'Pleasant Pel lets' and began to improve right away, and con tinned improving and gaining in strength. I cannot express the relief, it was so great. Seven months later my little daughter was born without much trouble. I feel that I would never have been able to endure my confinement only for the help due solely to Dr. Pierce's medicines. She was a fine healthy child, and the only one I have ever been able to nurse. She is now two years old and I have never had to take any medicine since, so I feel that your medicine has made a lasting cure with me. I owe so much in thanks it would be impossible for me to express by word or pen how thankful I am to God and to Dr. Pierce." There is encouragement for every woman in the cures performed by the use of " Favorite Prescrip tion." There is no form of disease peculiar to women whioh is curable by medicine which "Fa vorite Prescription " will not cure perfectly and per mantly. There have been, time and again, forms of womanly disease, pronounced incurable by local physicians, or curable only by an operation, for which "Favorite Prescription," tried as a last re sort, has effected a complete cure. It is a perfect regulator. It dries the drains which weaken women. It heals inflammation and ulceration, and cures female weakness. r Suffered Six Years "Isnffered six" years with ovarian trouble," writes Mrs. E. Waite, of (Lakeview Post Office), Chicago; IIL "Sometimes I could hardly walk, and when I had to cough it felt as though a knife was cutting me. My hands and feet were cold all the time. I had such a tired feeling and such a poor appetite, and when I went to bed I slept only about two hour at a time. A friend advised me to use Dr. Pierce's medicines, for they had helped her; so I got a bottle of 'Favorite Prescription ' and by the time I had used two bottles I felt so much better that I continued until I had taken eight bottles of 'Favorite Prescription' and one of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, and now I am so well that my friends remark how well I am looking. I can go to bed now and sleep till morning. My ap- peuie is Bpitjjium ana au mat xirea leeiing na3 leit me. I hope others will do as I have done just give Dr. Pierce's medicines a fair trial, and they will be sure to uenve mucn Denont, as 1 have. 1 am so thankful to think I am so well." "Favorite Prescription" contains no alcohol, neither opium, cocaine, or any other narcotic It is a purely vegetable preparation and cannot dis agree with the weakest constitution. Sick and ailing women are invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter free. All correspondence is held in sacred confidence and all womanly confidences are guarded by strict professional privacy.
