TO REVISE TARIFFS
Transcontinental Freight Bu
reau Convenes Today.
FIRST SESSION IN FOUR YEARS
Larcr Xumlior of Entric on Docket
to lip Considered Mortlllcntlona
of Great Importance Seem
Improbable.
The flr.t mooting of the Transconti
nental Freteht Bureau since the memor
nble meHliig in Milwaukee In May, 1S9S,
whon the linrdwnrv schedule came Into
jrreat promlnttfieo. will convene In this
city this morning at 11 o'clock. Probably
3 tralllc oJIIcUIp of lines holding mem-V-rhip
In the bureau will be present.
It Is fxpted that thy will consume a
wenk or 1 days in the work of revising
tariffs. The docket contains between 600
nnd 700 oniric. The bureau may take as
many or as few of these subjects as it
ehall ! flt, and It may Introduce sub
jects not on tho docket. It Is a law unto
Jtsclf. and there is no telling In advance
what scope will le Riven to its delibera
tions. It will elect Its own ofiicers today,
proscribe its own rules of procedure, and
pive out as little as It shall see lit of
tthc dlscusions or the conclusions reached.
The sessions will not be open to the pub
2i -, though interested business men may
Pla hearing before the body.
Though it has lx?cn nearly four -ears
since there was a formal meeting of thLs
bureau. the transcontinental freight
rates have not lxen all this time un
changed. Two or three tariffs have b-en
issued since the Milwaukee meeting. The
present tariff. Issued a year or so ago.
has about SO supplements. The previous
tariff had. perhaps. 40 supplements. When
the supplements get too numerous to deal
with. .Agent Countiss, in San Francisco,
codifies them into a new tariff sheet as
n new basis for amendment. So many
Things now need lining up that it was
deemed best to call this meeting for the
purpose, rather than leave it to Agont
Countiss to arrange by the imperfect
means of correspondence. The various
companies may start out with the same
pet of rules nnd same tariff sheet to go
by. but "when those rules have been con
strued and the rates applied in a multi
tude "of instances close upon the border
Jlne of classification many variations are
bound to develop, nnd they at length
grow into -wide discrepancies. Such cir
cumstances make these meetings desir
rtble from time to time, and that is why
the present meeting is called. To get
together and talk over rates and reach
a common understanding is found to be
beneficial to railroads and business in
Tcrests, contributing to uniformity and to
letter understanding of special condi
tions. It is said positively that nothing on
the docket indicates that the subject
of graded transcontinental rates will be
brought before this meeting, though ii is
jossiblo that the subject may be dragged
Into the meeting before it shall conclude
Its -work. So far as sentiment had been
founded among the traffic men who had
arrived last night there appeared no dis
position to take up that matter. Hanl
Tvarc rates will also be permitted to re
main undisturbed. The traffic men gener
ally disclaim knowledge of any business
of special importance to come before the
met ting. But it has come to pass in the
jvast that the most trifling modification
which one rond will regard as trifling
will appear to another line as a matter
of the most stupendous importance, so it
cannot be told what such a meeting as
this Is will bring forth until after it has
ndjournod.
All freight rates west of the Missouri
3her are. regarded as within the Juris
diction of this bureau. Coastwise ocean
fnlghts may also come before It, and
possibly trans-Pacific rates may now be
brought into the bureau. It requires no
formal order to do this. The sweet will
of a majority of the members of the
bureau governs.
There had arrived last night to attend
tills meeting the following traffic men:
S. L. Moore, of St. Paul, general freight
ngent of the Northern Pacific
T. M. Schumacher, of Salt Lake City,
octlng traffic manager of the Oregon
Short Line.

Another victory for Portland has just

with the annual convention of the Young
People's Christian Union of the United

July 23 to 27. It was at first proposed
that the same rates should be quoted for

June. The northern Uncs objected to the
feature of that rate that permitted pns-
sengers to come West by any regular dl
rect line and return East by any other I
regular direct line. The effect of that
objection would have been to drive the
business around Portland.
The O. R. & N. took the matter up with
Its Eastern connections, and the result Is
that the rates are made Interchangeable,
and passengers may pass through Port
land both ways or one way, choosing
either of the northern lines for the other
part of the trip, or ven making It
through California by paying the usual
advance for passage that way. Nearly
1500 delegates are expected to the Ta
coma meeting, and many more excursion
ists will take advantage of the rate to
make the trip to the Pacific Northwest.

WILL WHEEL TO DAWSON.
Party of Six Hns Started for Davrnon,
Taking- Bicycles With Them.
A company composed of six residents
of Portsmouth, with J. C. Paulsen at the
head, left for Dawson City last evening.
They each took a bicycle, and Intend to
wheel the 400 miles between the terminus
of the Skagway railway and Dawson.
They will undertake to carry their
blankets and complete camping outfits on
their bicycles from that place to their
destination. Several have covered the dis
tance between Dawson and the railway
successfully on bicycles by stopping at
the roadhouses. but none has carried
h!s camping outfit. Mr. Paulsen, who
is a shoemaker, was at Dawson in 1E97,
and made J4000 In one year. He has been
back a llttje over a year. He understands
conditions, and will probably be able to
pilot his company through successfully.
A lOOO Prize.
A prominent manufacturer has offered a
prize of ?1000 for the best essay on pre
ventive medicine, "believing that a proper
exercise of preventive medicine is of in
calculable benefit to the human race."
The tendency of medical science is toward
preventive measures. The best thought
of the world is being given to the sub
ject, it Is easier and better to prevent
than to cure. It has been fully demon
strated that pneumonia, one of the most
dangerous diseases that medical men havo
to contend with, can be prevented by the
use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
Pneumonia always results from a cold or
from an attack of Influenza (grip), and it
has been observed that this remedy coun
teracts any tendency of these diseases
toward pneumonia. This has been fully
proven In many thousands of cases in
which this remedy has been used during
the great prevalence of colds and grip In
recent years, and can be relied upon with
implicit confident. For sale by all drug-cists.

time District Attorney George E. Chnm-
berlaln, of Portland, will be nominated
for Governor by acclamation, and John
Henry Smith, of Clatsop County, can
have the Indorsement of the convention
for United States Senator without a dis
senting vote. If he wishes It. There Is a
disposition among the
leaders of the
party to give Mr. Smith anything he
may ask for. But the Astoria statesman
has dallied with politics before to the
detriment of his large law practice, and
he has been quoted many times of late
as saying that he wants no nominations
or indorsement for any office at this
time. The naming of Mr. Smith as the
Democratic candidate for United States
Senattor will not, however, mean that he
must necessarily do any great amount
of campaign work outside of his own
county, where he Is already a tower of
strength among members of his own
party, and It Is for this reason that the
local Democratic leaders are hopeful that
he will accept whatever honor there may
be In being choice of the minority parly
for the high office.
Candidates for other places on the tick
et are being discussed in an indifferent
sort of a way, and there does not appear.
to be any strenuous scramble for honors,
James H. Raley, of Pendleton, it is un
derstood would like to be nominated for
Attorney-General. Mr. Raley is a promi
nent lawyer of the Umatilla County
metropolis, and has been more cr less
prominent In politics for some years. He
was formerly a member of the State
Senate, and Is counted on to make a
strong campaign in Eastern Oregon.
Walter Pierce, of Pendleton, Is being
talked of freely as a candidate for Sec
retary of State. Although he has on
several occasions denied that he was
after a place on the state ticket, his
i friends are persistent In maintaining a
j little boomlet in his Interest, and unless
some equally strong aspirant arises be
tween now and convention time It is
more than probable that he will have the
second place on the ticket.
Two men have been discussed for Su
preme Court Judge, and each has a strong
following. Judge J. W. Hamilton, of
Roseburg, is understood to be in the
hands of his friends and not averse to
taking the nomination. Thomas H.
Crawford, of Union, is not making any
great efforts to dodge the honor, and will
probably have a strong backing In the
convention. Far State Treasurer J. O.

it would hurt or whom It would harm.
Would It be the foreign corporations, or
the railroads, who want cheap labor?
Whom would it hurt? That Is the ques
tion." Mr. Morgan went Into an ex
tensive analysis of the situation and
submitted Interesting and convincing sta-
JJ10?GM
tlstlcs to show that prosperity and un
restricted Immigration were not hand
maidens. During his entire speech he
was listened to with strict attention, and
at its close was liberally cheered and
applauded.
J. P. Kennedy spoke briefly, and said
that he Indorsed what had been so ably
put before the meeting by previous
speakers. "There Is but one fact over
looked," said Mr. Kennedy. "The reso
lutions were signed by six men. They
would have been signed by seven If they
have found the other man. I want to go
on record as opposed to bringing in
hordes of cheap labor. As an American
working man I welcome any laborer who
will become Identified with our institu
tions, and who will become a citizen of
our glorious country. We should protest
against the resolutions passed by the
Chamber of Commerce and our protest
should go broadcast to all the world."
The committee appointed to draft reso
lutions reported, through the secretary,
who read the resolutions printed else
where and adoption was unanimously
carried by a rising vote. Three cheers
for the sentiments expressed were given
with a will and the meeting dispersed.

In the largest proportion of cases of lost vitality, prematureness, and the
train of symptoms known as "weakness," certain morbid conditions of the
urethra and prostate gland, damaged by a contracted disorder or too often
repeated and too long-continued excitement, so react on the organs that a
condition of diminished vitality and function Is induced. Our knowledge of
the morbid changes in the organs themselves Is quite clear and full, but how
these changes operate on the nerves and spinal cord center are mysteries to
the medical profession. Whatever the morbid change may be, however, the
effects are apparent to the embarrassed sufferer; these troubles being sympto
matic of the above-mentioned and well-defined morbid conditions, it seems
that even the unprofessional patient must understand that stomach-drugging
will not cure, but efforts directed toward repairing the damaged tract will
restore. In practice such Is the case, as the treatment on these lines is al

LOST PAPERS ARE NO BAR
Citizens May Be Rejcltered, If They
Were AH KlRht in 1000.
District Attorney Chamberlain hns sub
mitted a written opinion to County Clerk
Swetland that, where a person of for
eign birth presents himself for reglstra.
Hon, claiming to have registered two
years ago. and since to have lost his pa
pers, tlio , Clerk should permit him to
register. The Clerk must, however, be
satisfied as to the identity of the per
son. This refers to the presentation or
declaration of Intention or citizenship pa
pers or certified copies of the same. Ac
cording to tho District Attorney's opin
ion, electors who are In possession of their
papers must exhibit them when they ap
ply for registration. The opinion Is In part
as follows:
I'ntler the naturalization laws, the declara
tion of Intention to become a citizen as well
as the application to be admltfd a citizen,
are proceedings which are required to be re
corded by the Clerk of the county where
the declaration or application to be admitted
Is made. They are, therefore, public records
within the meaning of the statute, and there
can te no othor proof of such a' record than
tho original Itself or a copy thereof duly
certified.
It follows that under the subdivision of the
section of the statute referred to the legal
proof of naturalization or declaration consists
either In the orlRlnnl or a duly certified copy
thereof. It seems thai parties are now Insist
ing upon registration who base their claim
to do so on the fact that their names appear
on the register of two years ago. Insisting
that such record Is such leal proof of their
declaration or naturalization as will permit
them to register now without going through
the formality required In cases of first regis
tration. You desire my opinion as to whether
this can be done.
There Is no question but that In case of
the first application, to register It Is neces
sary under the statute that the applicant
shall present to the Clerk his original declara
tion or a certified copy thereof or of his ad
mission to dtlzrnshlp ns prerequisite to such
registration, but the law presumes that a pub
lic ofllcer has done his duty, and when tho
name of an individual appears upon the books
of registration It might fairly be presumed
that at the time he so registered the then
Clerk required of him and had produced the
proofs required under the statute. In many
cases parties who registered two years ago
went to considerable expense and trouble to
procure the legal proof necessary to entitle
them to register; and I can seo no reason
why If such proof has been lost within the
pa.st two years such person should be required
to again obtain this proof for the purpose of
reglstTinz a second time.
I therefore express It as my opinion that
where a peron presents himself for registra
tion, claiming to have registered two years
ngo, and to have lost since then the proofs
which entitled him to register, that the Clerk
should permit his registration at this time. If
he 1? satisfied from the evidence before him
that the- Individual offering himself for regis
tration Is acting In good faith and Is the
same person who registered two years ago.

Price Is a Good Salesman
And people usually buy where they can do the best, con
sidering the quality of the article bought. Undoubtedly
this has been great factor,
lor tne large number of sales made or our nign-graue
pianos, such ns the Knabe. Steck. Hardman, Fischer,
Packard, Ludwlg and Smith & Barnes.
QUALITY IS A
But, after all, the careful, conservative buyer takes Into
consideration the quality of the article bought, and this Is
what has brought us success. The quality of our pianos
and organs Is never brought into question; they are ac
knowledged by all to be the best. For instance, take or
gans, no one would deny the fact but- what the Estey,
Mason & Hamlin, Packard and Chicago Cottage are the
only best organs made. Call or write us for terms, cata
logues, etc.

From which it appears that the real
offender, the cunning scoundrel whose
"advising and counselling" It would be
well nigh impossible to establish, gets
off with a possible 20 years, while the
weak-minded tool he has selected to do
his bidding and upon whose frenzied mind
he plays with diabolical skill, must pay
the forfeit of his life. Is this Justice?
