Comparatively little was done yesterday In. the matter of the Lewis and Clark subscriptions. Most of the solicitors had- taken so much of their time from their business for the canvass that they felt like taking a day to their own affairs,' now that the fund Is safe. "Work with the subscription lists was not entirely suspended, however, and a number of new names were signed for various amounts. Several voluntary subscriptions were sent In to Secretary Reed without the inter vention of any canvassing committee, among them being $250 by P. "W. Gillette and $200 by G. Rosenblatt, the latter of whom explained that this was in addition to the $50 previously subscribed, which "was intended merely to cover his- Interest as aa insurance agent. "William Gadeby rvisited the headquarters and requested to 'be permitted to increase his subscription 'from $100 to $300, saying that upon re flection he had come to the conclusion that ho should Justly subscribe the larger 1 sum. Chairman Corbett also received gratify ing evidence of Interest from, out of town as -well as from Portland citizens. F. J. Parker, chairman of the "Washington iLewis and Clark Commission, telegraphed irom "Walla "Walla: Congratulations or. success of subscriptions. Rubicon la crossed. Portland shows its con fidence in itself. The following letter from Pendleton, showing the Increasing Interest In the Lewis and Clark celebration, was In Mr. Corbett's mail yesterday morning: Hon. H. "fa. Corbett, Portland, Or. Dear Sir: I wish you would put my name down for one share ($10) of the capital stock of the Lewis and Clark Centennial fund, now being sub scribed in PortHnd. t desire the certificate of stock as a souvenir or memento among: hun dreds of other papers and curios of various kinds la my possession. Tours truly, J. L. SHARON. Chairman Corbett sent Mr. Sharon a blank subscription paper for his signature In regular form, at the same time inti mating that if any otter Pendletonian should be found similarly inclined his subscription might also be added. Portland's successful canvass has bred enthusiasm in the other towns of Ore gon, and from, several places have come evidences of a strong desire to have a part in the capitalization of the Lewis and Clark corporation. It Is probable that the outside towns may be permitted to come in on the additional capital to be authorized by supplementary articles of Incorporation. Now that the thing is demonstrated a glorious success, there is no lack of support from all quarters. C. J. "Wellman, local superintendent of the Bradstreet company, writes Mr. Cor bett that he has no doubt that his com pany -will authorize him to subscribe for some of the Lewis and Clark stock, and that he will attend to the matter upon hearing from the New Tork office. The programme now outlined for the Portland canvassing committees is to pro ceed with their work and close it up as soon as practicable. Secretary Reed yes terday sent letters to a large number of committees from which no reports had been received, asking them to round up their canvass and send In their reports, so a statement could be made of the exact situation of the fund. These letters were sent to something like a score of commit tees. Those that have made partial re perts are also expected to flnisa their work in a few days. Chairman Corbett desires- to call a. final meeting of the canvassing committees next week, not later than "Wednesday evening, and earlier if found practicable, at which time the lists can be put Into the hands of the revision committee to be prepared for publication. It is highly desirable that each committee shall have cleaned up its work by that time, for It is not designed that the revision com mittee shall engage in. general soliciting to complete the work the canvassing com mittees were appointed to do. Neither the number on that committee nor the time at their disposal would permit that. The idea behind the appointment of the re vision committee was that suitable rep resentations should be made to persons who might desire to appear well in the list in order that such subscriptions might be based on a complete knowledge of the facts and circumstances of the case; in other words, that no subscriber need show to disadvantage In the list by reason of the fact that lie had not been Informed of the purpose, scope and plan and his torical and industrial significance of the proposed celebration. This will be the work of that special committee after all the regular canvassing shall have been completed and final reports turned In. All the active canvassing is to be com pleted early next week, and the special committee will get to work the latter half of the week. Special enthusiasm for the Lewis and Clark fair is shown on the East Side. Subscriptions- in the district between Hawthorne avenue and Tillamook street and east to the summit of Mount Tabor foot up over $10,000, with more to hear, from. The Mount Tabor district, east of the city limits, which was in charge of Professor Grout, subscribed $3040, which Is regarded as excellent. A considerable portion of the effective work at Mount Tabor was done in the evening, when the heads of families were at home. Consid ering that Mount Tabor is outside the city limits, the subscriptions there are particularly gratifying. P. S. "White and F. G. "Drier, canvassers for the Brook lyn Sub-Board of Trade, between Division street and the Portland Crematorium, re ported yesterday that their subscription, paper at the end of their work contained pledges, for $750. It was at first thought that $500 would be the top figure for that district. of them are too fond of roving- and so get broke In traveling about," Many men apply for lodgings who are under the Influence of liquor, but none of 'hese are turned away, unless they are likely to disturb the peace of the other lodgers or to give the attendants trouble in some other way. These are usually turnei over to the police, who give them lodgings in the "cooler." xTwo little air-tight rooms In the rear of the shelter are used to fumigate the bedding, and both of these were In opera tion yesterday. .Blankets and mattresses are hung up here, when the bedmakers consider It necessary, and a cake of sul phur lighted on the floor beneath. The fumigation Jasts six hours, when the bed ding is considered safe for the next lodg er. It costs 15 cents to fumigate a set of bedclothes, though the lodger who ren dered the .fumigation necessary may have paid only a nickel for his night's rest. The Salvation Army Is not trying to make money out of the shelter, however, and the officers are glad when they can pay the running expenses at the end of the month. WOOD SCOW BIDS REJECTED Port of Portland Is Determined to Have Them Bnllt Cheaply. The Port of Portland Commission yes-' terday for the second time opened bids for finishing two wood scows, to be used in connection with the dredge, and for the second time rejected all bids. It was or dered that bids for repairing the tender "Wenona be advertised for. It was de cided to drop the regular Thursday eve ning drydock meetings for the present. Chairman Hughes presided and Messrs Adams, Banfleld, Riley and Swlgart were present. Four bids were received for the construction of the two wood scows as fol lows: B. F. Smith, for both scows, $4700; Joseph Pet.or ach scow $25s: Portland bnipbullding Company, each scow, $2390; J. A. Fostabend, for two scows, $4550. As the lowest of these bids was only a little less than the former lowest bid they were all rejected. A communication was received front Joseph Supple, offering to build better scows of his own design for $2000 each. Contractors all disapprove of Engineer Lockwood's plans for the scows, and say wmh. mcj require id.uw leet of lumber more than Is necessary or useful. After some discussion, it was ordered that the clerk advertise for plans and bids for the construction of two scows 100x30x6 feet, and contractors will now have a chance to show whether they can design better scows than Engineer Lock wood. The engineer who examined the tender Wenona. reported that she was severely injured, but not beyond repair, and rec ommended that her boilers and engines be repaired, and her pumps, steampipes etc., be replaced. ' It was ordered that bids be adi-ertlsed for repairing the engines and putting the boat in working order, and also alternative bids for such reDairs. including ,. 16-Inch bore low-pressure cylinder. In reply to a communication sent to the Morse axon worKS & Drydock Company, of Brooklyn, N. Y., asking for information in regard to a drydock built by them a brief note was received stating that the dock was completed last April, and bad proved satisfactory, and that they did not know of any way of lnproving Its work ings. They prepared the plans and built the dock themselves, and the operating plant has been patented. Only this and nothing more. Chairman Hughes asked what the Ideas of the Commissioners were inTegard to continuing the drydock meetings. It would o? necessary to select a site, and first to conclude whether the dock should be located above or below Swan Island After some discussion it was decided that these matters could be settled after construction of the dock had been commenced and by the exertion of great self-denial, the Commissioners decided for the present to discontinue these weekly drydock meet ings. A very long communication from the Pacific Export Company, which had hrAn overlooked at last meeting, was read by w.c wwiu jt cumpiainea or tne accident to the Indrapura, the condition of the har bor and rivers, and criticised the style on "which they were dredged or not dredged, with some remarks about the 25-foot chan nel, and the Commissioners' slnsof com mission and omission, and a suggestion that the public be Informed as to whether the commission were doing all in its power to relieve the situation, an dthat they declare their policy. Another long communication, In the form of a report to the Chamber of Com merce from its committee on navigation was read. The Commissioners looked though tfur while listening to these articles and several were ready to criticise them! but discussion was shut off by the chair man, also said that all the members were Invited to be present at a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce this afternoon, when they would have an opportunity to relieve themselves. Chairman Hughes suggested that it would be well for Engineer Lockwood to present the commission with a ground plan or rough design of the proposed dredge they were going to build, and he had been obliged to reply that he did not know. MISS STILSON GETS $3000 COMPOSER. KEATING COMPROMISES BREACH-OF-PROMISE SUIT., Dalton's Trial la Set for December's TTade'a Will Follow at Once' No Delay to Be Suffered. John H.

Judge Frazer remarked that the time to set the triads had arrived Veazie, at torney for Dalton, arose, and said: "Dal ton wants the advantage of as much evi dence as possible and I cannot tell how long it will take to secure the evidence, but I think one month will sufflde."

"When He Came To, He Had Tretty Near AH He Had. Lost SHELTER FOR THE "BROKE" Good Work Done by Portland's Sal vation Army. The Salvation Army Men's Shelter, 48 ft North Sepond street, is doing quite a business, even in these prosperous times, as all of its 40 beds are occupied each night. The shelter has been located In that portion of the North End where "broke" men are likely to congregate, and has been self-supporting since its establish ment, several months ago. The ground floor of an old building that was once used for a store has been divided into two dormitories, each containing about 20 single iron bedsteads, upon which woven wire mattresses and coarse bedding have been laid, making comfortable looking couches for the lodgers, who are charged to 10 cents a night If they can pay it and nothing, if they are entirely "broke." Captain Tucholke, who has charge of the shelter, was asked his opinion as to what caused the poverty of the men who are obliged to seek lodgings there, and he thought they were mostly of a class that could not content themselves long in any one place. How Paul Liefner came to lose $90 in banknotes, a watch worth $25, and an $800 draft, was the question that took up most of Judge Cameron's time in the Munlci- vuu jeoLeruuy. xne promem was not solved, and the case was continued until today at 10:30. On the night of the robbery, last Sun day, Liefner had been making a tour of the Whltechapel district. "When he came to, about 7 in the morning, he found him self lying in the Badger saloon, with his inside pocket torn open, and his money andi papers missing. The police were notified, and arrested on suspicion L. Sturman, bartender, and Thomas Nels, a companion of the former, on suspicion of being implicated in the theft. Dolly Gardner, a woman emnlovpfl in the dance-dall of the Badger saloon, was the principal witness yesterday. "How much did you and Liefner drink before going to the Badger saloo'n," asked Deputy District Attorney Spencer. "Four quart bottles of beer, and one pint" "Do you mean to swear on the stand that all you and Liefner drank was four bottles and a half of beer," asked Mr. Spencer, sarcastically. "That's all. I am positive of it" "After that how much did you drink?" "Well, I drank whisky, and he ordered several rounds of drinks. Pretty soon he tumbled over, and the bartender and his friend lifted him up and carried him Into a room, and placed him on a tablp. They were gone about a minute, and then came back, and we had some more drinks. About an hour after Liefner came back and drank with us. He ordered several drinks, and paid for them in sliver." This was all she would swear to on the stand. "You didn't take very good care of Lief ner when intoxicated," suggested Judge Camerson. "He was just as well able to take care of himself as I was of him. He was no fuller than I was," came the quick an swer. In absence of several witnesses, the case was continued.

It would be just as reasonable for a temperance advocate to drink a little di luted whisky as to 4lrlnk coffee, for ones is as truly an intoxicant as the other, and persistence in the ue of coffee brings on a variety of chronic diseases, notorious among which are djspepsla, heart palpita tion (and ultimately heart failure), fre quently constlpition, kidney diseases, many cases of weak eyes and trembling condition of the nerves. This is only a small percentage of the great variety of diseases which come from an unbalanced nervous system, caused by the persistent dally use of the drug caf feine. which-Is the active principle of cof fee. Another bit of prima facie evidence about coffee Is that the vWJme to tho habit find great difficulty in giving it up. They will solemnly pledge to themselves day after day that they will abandon the use of It when they know that It is shortening their day?, but morning after morning they fail, until they grow to despise themselves for their lack of con trol. Any one interested in this subject would be greatly surprised to make a systematic Inquiry amontr prominent brain workers In AmeAca. There are hundreds of thousands of our most prominent peo ple that have abandoned coffee alto gether and are uing Postum Food Cof fee in Its place, and for the most excellent reasons In the world. Many of them testify that 111 health, nervous prostra tion and consequent Inability to work has in times past pushed them back and out of their proper standing in life, which they have been able to regain by the use of good health, strong nerves and great vitality, since coffee has been, thrown out and the Postum put in its place. --USs Sk-a"-.. .
