THE MOBtfING O.RBGOrAS, . .FRIDAY,, "A5KIL 12, 1901.
WILL BUILD NEW DREDGE
iKORTH PACIFIC 3IILL TO IMPROVE
, THE PORTS EQ.OIP3IEXT.
Flour Trade "With the Orient at Low
Ebb Big- Fleet of Overdue Ships
Seattle's Unlucky Manila Line.
The North Pacific Lumber Company has
let the contract to Joseih Supple for the
construction of a blsr dredge, which 17111
be used for making: .channels "wherever
they are needed. A dredge of this kind
has dang been a necessity in this port,
and this is probably the only city in the
country where private .dredges are not
available for -work around the harbor.
'There are many shallow places lying- ad
jacent to good property that are now
valueless, but which can be dredged out
and made available for warehouses and
- docks. This work will Increase as the
port grows, and the owners of the new
craft will probably find plenty of work
for her when she is not engaged in at
tendirig to their own needs. It will also
be aulte convenient to have an extra
dredge in case something should happen
to those, now Tieed in deepening the river.
The new dredge is being constructed for
the purpose of working wherever business
offers. The dimensions of the craft will
be: .Length, 112 feet; beam, 28 feet; depth
of hold, 6 feet. The engines and boilers
which were in the old city dredge, which
was purchased by the North Pacific Mills,
will be Tised in the new craft, but she
will be a pump dredge, and not a bucket
dredge, which will necessitate using new
machinery, aside from the engines and
boilers. The machinery will be similar
to that of the Bowers dredge, but will not
include a cutter, such as is used on the
Bowers dredge.
KAJTY OVERDUE SHIPS.
Seventy-five Per Cent Is Xow Offered
on the John McDonald.
Reinsurance speculators have a finer as
sortment of bargains in the way of, over
due ships than has ever been presented
before. The attempt of the underwriters
to ""crawfish" on their obligations In the
matter of the Otto Gildemeister has tem
porarily checked the ardor of the invest
ors in this line of securities, but the
wares are on the market.
On the John McDonald, 210 days out
from Baltimore for San Francisco, 75
per cent is offered. The John McDonald
was spoken off the Horn November 28,
and it is feared that her coal cargo heated
and destroyed her. She is commanded
by Captain Seymour Watts, a cousin of
Captain James Watts, of this city. The
mate of the vessel Is young Captain Mur
phy, who made one' voyage as master of
the American ship Shenandoah, and is
Quite well known on the Pacific Coast.
Captain Seymour Watts is well known in
ithis port, as master of the Pactolus,
which is now in command of his brother.
Captain -James Watts, of this city, be
lieves that the ship has been burned, but
has hopes that the crew will be heard
from on some of the Islands of the South
Pacific
Next to the John McDonald, the British
ship Ardnamurchan is the worst risk.
Fifty per cent reinsurance is now quoted
on her, arid it will go to 90 per cent with
in a few days, unless she shows up; as
she la fully due.
The German bark Ecuador, under char
ter to load wheat at this port, is over
due at Nagasaki, from Philadelph and
10 per cent is quoted on her, and the same
rate Is offered on the Halewood, Stjorn,
Maipo and one or two other vessels which
left Portland about the time of the big
storm, which is supposed to have sent
the Andrada, Cape Wrath and one or
two other ships- to the bottom, and the

, ORIENTAL TRAFFIC LIGHT.
Bulk of the Shipments of Flour Go
to Siberia.
The Adato was discharging her inward
cargo yesterday, but, so far as known,
has made no arrangements for outward
freight. The flour business in "China and
Japan is in very bad shape, and there is
such a 'Slight demand from that quarter
that the regular steamers can handle all
of the traffic that is offering. There has
been a little better demand for flour from
Siberia, and nearly all of the cargo of
the Universe which left Portland early in
the month, was for Siberian ports. The
great rush that was made last December
to get shipments Into Siberia before the
tariff was put into effect was unneces
sary, as the flour is still on the free list
in the possessions of the Czar, and will
remain .so until the condition of the com
ing 'crop in Russia is more fully deter
mined. If there is a big crop and low
markets elsewhere, the tariff may be lev
ied for the purpose of shutting out "Amer
ican flour.
Another matter which will have some
bearing on " the case is the attitude of
this country in regard to the Importation
of Russian products. Whenever we draw
the mantle of excluslveness around our-
selves, and levy a heavy toll on Russian
sugar, etc, we may naturally expect a
little reciprocity which. In the case of
flour, will cost the Pacific Coast wheat
grower several cents per bushel extra
whenever he attempts to market It In Si
beria. Action on the matter will prob
ably be taken JettlCl next session of the
Russian Parliament at Siberia. 3Iean
while Portland millers will get in all of
the flour possible before the Russians de
clae to treat our ilour aswe treat their
sugar.

Yamhill Locks Must Be Overhauled.
McMINNVTLLE. April 11. it is evident
that the Yamhill locks at La Fayette, com
pleted last September, will have to be
overhauled soon. It appears that the
walls of the basin and the gates are
too low, and when the water is high boats
are compelled to stop below the locks.
It is said this will be remedied as soon
as the water Is low enough.
Arab's Rollers Leaking:.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 1L The trans,

SEATTLE'S MANILA LINE.
China Mutual Steamers Are Having:
Hard Luck on Puget Sound.
SEATTLE, April 1L The second steam
er of the China Mutual Line, from here to"
London via the Suez Canal, reached here
yesterday from Tacoma, loaded with a
(cargo of wheat taken on at that port.
The officers o'f the steamship 'are "sore"
at the delay and loss they have been put
to, as, according to a well-established cus
tom, the heads of the different depart
ments are always paid a bonus on their
return from a successful voyage, but in
the case of the officers of the Teenkai,
- as In the case of the officers of the Mo
yune, there will be no bonus awaiting
them, "as there will be no profits to share.
Thesteamer had to lay so long at Tacoma
awaiting a cargo that even if it was
pr-sslble to carry wheat at the low rate
of her charter through the Suez the long
tfalt would put them in the hole.
. One -ot the officers is authority for the
statement that before they left China It
s"was g-veft out that they would load up
with Government freight at $8 a ton
measurement, and as the Teenkai can
stow i way 10,000 tons measurement, the
officers .had 'figured on a handsome bonus
on .their arrival home, but' instead of an
SS0.OO0 freight to Manila they have a far
Jless sum to England, out of which they
have to pay the heavy canal tolls and the
expenses of a two weeks layover.

The human heart, scarcely larger
than a manB fist, is the most wonder
ful of engines. In each twenty-four
hours the dual heart moves approximately six tons of blood, whicE ia
equivalent to about two barrels of blood every hour. "WTiat amazing labor
for so small an organ, working as it does without rest or pause from the
first breath of infancy to the last sigh of old age. When disease attacks
the heart it attacks the very citadel of life, and every organ of the body
seems to tremble with apprehension. The strenuousnesa of modern life,
which overtaxes the heart is every day increasing the list of those "whose
sudden end is asoribed to "heart failure." It is hardly possible to
pick up a newspaper without seeing mention of the death of some well
known man attributed to that cause. And for every one prominent
man who falls a victim to heart failure, how many are there, unknown
beyond their home village, who perish from the same cause.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is a medicine
specially designed to cure diseases of the stomach and other
organs of digestion and nutrition, and to purify and enrich
the blood. Bat the ingredients which enter into the "Dis
covery," include one of the best heart tonics
known in medicine. Thus, while the diseased
stomach is being cured by the action of " Golden
Medical Discovery," it strengthens the heart and
enables the pumping of an adequate blood sup
ply to the stomach and kidneys, thus improving
"Che action of these organs.
In the fall of 1897, I was taken with smothering
spells, palpitation of the heart and a distressed feeling
in my stomach," writes Mr. H. W. Kinney, of Knight,
Doddridge Co., W. Va. l consulted a doctor and he
said I had organic heart trouble. He gave me some
medicine but it did me no crood. I then tried different
kinds of patent medicines hut they only helped me a little. I quit taking medicine
in the winter and got so bad I could not walk any distance, was short of breath.
and my legs would get so weak I could not stand. Consulted another doctor, ana
he said I had indigestion of the stomach and bowels. I doctored with him all
summer, and he only helped me a little. I then wrote, asking you for advice, and
you advised me to take Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. I sent and got
five bottles and began taking it. Before the first bottle was gone I felt a change.
When the five bottles were gone I began to work. I had not worked any for a
year before. I waited awhile after I took the five bottles and then got some more
and continued the medicine. I took in all sixteen bottles, and was cared. I
believe if I had taken it regularly I would have been well before.',
After consulting two doctors aud taking various mediciries without any
lasting benefit, Mr. Kinney wrote to Dr. Pierce and was cured by taking
his advice and using his medicines.
Any sick person is, invited to consult Dr. Pierce,-hy letter; without
charge or fee. On these terms it is evident that it is economy of time,
money and health to consult Dr. Pierce first before experiy enting with,
those of less experience and skill. Address Dr. Pierce, at the Invalids
Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., of which Institution he ia
chief consulting physician and surgeon.

Medical Discovery.' and he bought a bottle.
I took that aud the first half seemed to help me. I took six bottles before I stopped. I am
perfectly well and am cooking for boarders (I have six), and am taking in washing- beside.
I will truly say I think your medicine will do all it is recommended to do and more. It "has
been a God-send to me. I will be willing to answer any letters of inquiry that anyone
wishes me to. If you think this will be the means of helping any poor suffering woman to
obtain relief you may print it and make any honest use of it you wish to."
The stomach may be called the nutritive center of the whole physical organ
ism. Every organ depends upon the stomach for its nourishment. Starve a man
and in tirae his heart ceases to beat. Bnt if you half starve a man there is a pro
portionate reduction of vital power. The body with its organs, make up tie
I physical man, and when we say the man is half " starved, we are practically saying
t,nat ine organs mat are viku xo wie pnysicai man are nan starved also. This is
the condition of a great many people who are run down and debilitated. They
get enough to eat, but the food eaten does not nourish the body, because it is
imperfectly digested and but partly assimilated.

Very Slight Increase During the
Last 30 Tears.
TUTUILA, March 27, via San Francisco.
April 11. A census of the population of
the Samoan group has been taken. The
number of Samoans In Upolu and other
islands under the German Government Is
32,000, while the population of the six Isl
ands under the United States Government
Is returned at 5S0O. The very slight in
crease during the last 30 years is about
the same io-proportlon all round.
The Infant mortality Is greatest, and
this Is due In a large measure to the
Ignorance and carelessness In dieting the
young. It is not unusual to see a mother
feeding her infant from the mouth after
she has herself masticated the food In
tended for the child. It Is only since the
United States took possession that people
have been able to receive medical advice
and treatment. With the sanitary laws
now in force and the laws concerning the
health of the people generally" throughout
the Island, It Is hoped that during the
next decade there will be a considerable
Increase of the native population.
Governor B- F. Tilley returned from New
Zealand on the Abarenda March 14. The
natives showed their delight at the Gov
ernor's1 return by giving a number of
feasts In his honor. ,.,
Magisterial returns from all districts
have been sent into the high court of all
cases tried by magistrates up to the end
of last-month. The reports Indicated great
Improvement among the Samoans. These
statements, together with the regular re
ports of the native governors and other
officials, are carefully prepared and are
models of neatness. The native officers
are not lacking altogether In education,
but there is good opportunity for the
United States to assist them in their de
sire to obtain greater knowledge.

trouble continues along the line of the
Nacosarl Railway, where the graders
have struck. On the Arizona end of the

At Fronteras Monday an American gam
bler was killed In a fight with strikers,
two Mexicans were mortally wounded and
several others seriously hurt In the me
lee. Four troops of Mexican soldiers
have been sent to Fronteras, and the con
tractors have asked for further protec
tion. It Is stated that an attempt by the
Americans to organize the graders was
the cause of the strike and subsequent
rioting.
