Why the Transport Seward
Goes to Seattle.
RAft'K INJUSTICE TO PORTLAND
Alter Lying: Here All Winter Vessel
la Suddenly Shifted to Pnpet
Sound by a Discriminating
War Department.

The transfer of the transport Seward
from1 -Portland is another Illustration of
Oregon's want of Influence at "Wash
ington Seattle has a "drag" that al
ways prevails In matters of this kind.
ThevSeward coald and should have been
repaired here. So bay Portland ship
builders. a c o
Portland shipbuilders don't like the "way
Ihey are treated by "Uncle Sam. The
order of the Government to have the
transport Seward taken to Puset Sound
lor repairs they regard as too much
'"shenanigan."
"There is no excuse for the order of
the Government." they eay. "W can
repair the vessel as well and as cheaply
as Pugret Sound shipbuilders. The Gov
ernment habitually discriminates against
Portland in favor of San Francisco and
Pufret Sound. Is this another example?"
The pretext at Washington, as inspired
toy the Puget Sound Interests, is that
elnce Portland has no drydock. it would
be Impossible to repair the Seward here.
iLocal shipbuilders ral a strenuous pro
test. There are marine ways in this city,
three of them, that could receive the
Seward easily, without the least danger
of straining her. One is In South Port
land, another on the Bast Side and a
third in the O. R. & N.'s boatyard.
The Seward Is a small steam schooner
of 697 net tons. She is 1K4.8 feet long,
39.2 feet wide and 14.4 feet deep. The
vessel was built in 1900 at Seattle by the
jMorans, and was named the G. W.
Dickinson. "When bought by the Gov
ernment she was rechristened. It has
fceen well understood that Uncle Sam got
fa. gold brick when he bought her, and
he fact that extensive repairs are called
lor, to machinery and boilers, does not
flatter her builders. It Is argued that
the repairs will have to be very elaborate,
and that therefore Portland shipbuilder
cannot do the work. But after the vessel
has reached. Puget Sound, the repairs will
be so simple that they will be finished In
a month. The vessel Is wanted by the
Government for the Alaska transport
service by April 1. This indicates that
the repairs will be only of such nature as
to put the Seward into Immediate order.
Just how Seattle gets Its "drag" nobody
knows, but the "drag" Is recognized as
the Earns old thing over again, that has
often deprived Portland of deserved
recognition. Among the heavy-weights
who are known to contribute to the Se
attle "drag" are the Morans. Through
their friends, In mysterious places in the
"War Department, they have a way of
swerving the current Governmental
favors. They are determined to do the
work on the Seward. One of the reasons
Is that they built her, and do not want
any other persons to "monkey" with her.
They are authoritatively quoted r say
ing "that sooner than see the Seward re
paired here they would repair her free
of cost to the Government.
Fred A. Ballln, consulting engineer of
the local Quartermaster's office, made a
survey of the Seward several months ago.
He recommended that the vessel be
equipped with two new Scotch marine
boilers. The present boiler is not adapted
to the machinery, and has not enough ca
pacity. He also advised that the ma
chinery be overhauled. The engines were
eld when placed In the vessel, and he es
timated It would take SS500 to put them in
good order. He further recommended
that the hull be generally overhauled.
Only recalklng of the deck and parts of
the hull above the water line is imme
diately necessary, since the Seward has
been In service only two years, and is
hot leaking. He estimated the cost of all
repairs, including that of two new boil
ers, at a sum not to exceed 528,000. Since
the Government has decided to use the
old boiler, the expense of putting the ves
sel Into serviceable shapowlll be compar
atively small. The condition of the ves
sel's hull and the short time of her serv
ice, warrant the assumption that she does
hot need to be hauled out of water. Even
If It is necessary to do so, Portland ship
yards have ample facilities for the work.
Other vessels, larger than the Seward,
bave been raised on the marine ways In
this city. The steamer R. R. Thompson,
B12 net tons, 215 tons heavier than the
fieward, has been lifted out of the water
Jiere repeatedly. The steam schooner
X.akme, 740 net tons, 43 tons heavier than
the Seward, was pulled up on the O. R. &
JN. ways two years ago. In 1900 the Kvi
chak, a steel vessel of 610 net tons, was
built and launched here. Several years
fcgo the Slanzanlta was pulled out of the
water at Smith's Point.
Moreover, the Seward could be repaired
Icompletely and cheaply by heaving her
Iflown. This has been done here rcpeat
tedly in the past quarter of a century.
The Cheseborough, a wooden vessel of
tovor 1400 tons, was repaired here this way
many years ago. So wai the C. D. Bry
fent, of 00 net tons, and the Charles
Cotesworth, of 1031 net tons. It Is mere
sophistry, therefore, for the Government
to argue that the Seward cannot be com
pletely repaired at this port.
Shipbuilders and marine men of the city
are thoroughly worked up over the mut
ter. The vessel has been here ever since
Jlast 'Autumn, tied up on the east side of
the river. Portland shipbuilders have not
had any opportunity to look her over or
to submit estimates for repairing her. As
the vessel is to be taken away without
Iglving them n chance even (to compete
for the work with Puget Sound shipbuild
ers, they think they have a grievance.
"It Is outrageous,'' said George Taylor,
Jr., yesterday. "You cannot quote me In
too strong terms. The pretext for taking
the Seward to Puget Sound Is perfectly
absurd. It Is clearly another case of dis
crimination against Portland. TVhy, Port
land and Columbia River shipbuilders are
not given a chance to compete with those
of Puget Sound on even terms. Our ship
builders have had on their ways heavier
yespels by far tnan tnc iewaru. mese
successes, added to that of the Pembroke
shire, should make clear that we have the
skill and facilities the equal of any for
making marine repairs. The Govern
ment's order is an affront and an insult
to the Columbia River. Twenty-six years
ago the revenue cutter Thomas Corwln
was built here. The repairs to the Sew
ard are so pimple that shipbuilders here
could do them with case."
Joseph Supple said: "There are plenty
of facilities here for lifting the Seward out
of the water. Either of the three marine
ways could receive her easily and with
out danger I think it wrong that she
has lain here all Winter and local ship
builders have not been given opportunity
to repair her, and that now she Is to
be taken to Puget Sound. She could be
repaired here at less cost than at Se
attle. This city has not had a fair show.
The repairs, exc islve of those to boiler
and machinery, would cost hardly more
than $5000."
"W. B. Honcyman said: "It is a small
matter to hinge the question on doubt as
to our facilities to handle her. There are
plenty of examples to refute the slander
against Portland. We could certainly do
the repair work as cheaply as Puget
Sound, and nerhana ehpanpr "
Robert Mcintosh said: "The marine )
ways in this city are adequate to receive
a small vessel like the Seward. Repairs
could be made here as cheaply as any
where." GENIUS OF WOMAN.
Her Activity in Varloaa Sphere the
Topic at the Woman's Clab.
The meeting of the "Woman's Club yes
terday afternoon was very well attended,
In spite of the almost constant downpour
of rain. After the regular routine busi
ness had been transacted, the club mem
bers listened to a very delightful pro
gramme, which was In charge of Mrs. L.
M. T. Hidden.
Mrs. Mabel Plowman read a very bright
paper on the subject of "Woman in Dra
matic Art," in which she suld: "In cre
ative works, music, literature, painting j
ana sculpture, woman has not equaled her
brother, but ln dramatic representation,
even in the beginning of the 19th century,
her serious work and evident ability had
already overcome the extensive hindrances
with which prejudice delights to bar her
way prejudice of her own sex chiefly.
Betterton, 'Nell Gwynne. 'Peg Wofflng
tor and "Mrs. Slddons had already de
monstrated the answer to theold riddle
which we still propound as to the limit
of woman's work, but you establish your
right to do a thing by doing It welL"
Mr. Reginald Hidden delighted the audi
ence with a violin solo, "Hungarian Airs,"
by Ernst, and responded to an enthusi
astic encore with Popper's dainty and
spirited "Elfin Dance," which was fol
lowed by a paper on "Woman In Litera
ture," by Mrs. Rogers. "The most ardent
champion of the equality of the sexes."
said Mrs. Roger?, "is compelled to admit
that woman in literature is conspicuous J
by her absence. I do not mean to say i
that woman has not been active In lltera- j
pen as the most ready Instrument of self
expression, and upon the written page has
poured out the thoughts, emotions and as.
plratlons which have swelled to utterance
in the silent chambers of her souL She
has done some good work, too work that
will endure the test of time. Early In the (
tcuiuiv nuuiau jjucu jut jjcij in secret,
keeping her fancy work at hand to conceal
it when interrupted. t No wonder these
early efforts were highly romantic, and
oozed hysterical sentiment at every pore."
But it is the opinion of Mrs. Rogers that
with wider freedom and broader fields
of activity, more women writers will be
developed, of the school of George Eliot,
George Sand and Elizabeth Barrett
Browning.
No mere extract could do any of these
bright papers Justice, and this Is partic
ularly true of the brilliant and Important
paper on "The Sphere of Woman," read
by Mrs. L. M. T. Hidden. This subject,
which has been so universally discussed,
was handled in a very fresh and attractive
manner by Mrs. Hidden. Among other
original thoughts 'may be mentioned her
novel presentation of the much-mallgnei
character of St. Paul, whom she declares
to have been one of the most liberal
minded men of his time. Instead of a
Eniir Ktlcklpr for nnrlpnt snr.lnl tvmnnv.
"There were good reasons for saying,
'Let the women keep silence In the con
gregation at Corinth, where the ;eople
reveled in the excesses of wealth and
where they abandoned themselves to vies !
and profligacy.
"To apply this "keep silence to woman
now, and thus bury their talents by apos
tolic ban, is an Insult to them and to Paul,
and a sin against God. By the same cu
thority all women should veil themselves.
Paul is not against Christ. His thought
was far In advance of the Ideas and preju
dices of his time, when he said, 'There Is
neither bond nor free, there is neither
male nor female, for ye are all one In
Christ Jesus.'
"That was a declaration of Independence
like to which our fathers came near ex
pressing when they said, 'All men are cre
ated equal and are endowed by their Cre
ator with certain Inalienable rights,
among which are life liberty and the pur
suit of happiness.' "
At the close of the programme a motion
to send a message of sympathy to Mrs.
Dunlway In her Illness was unanimously
carried, after which a number of visiting
members of other clubs were requested to
speak, and did so in a most graceful and
Interesting way. Mrs. Elmore, president
of the "Astoria Woman's Club, spoke of
the broadening and deepening mental ac
tivity of the women who have enjoyed
club associations in Astoria. While ap
parently engrossed with the cares of
home, It was surprising to hear the bright

Sanctuary to Be Restored.
The celebrated sanctuary of Casaysay,
the shrine of so many Filipinos' devotions,
Is to be restored. At the beginning of the
uprising In Batangas, the sanctuary was
stripped of Its rich fittings and the image
of the Virgin carried away. These riches
were hidden on Volcano Island, and consti
tuted very largely the treasure chest of
the Insurgents. Lieutenant West, with
10 men and a guide, spent a day on the
Island, and recovered about 10,000 worth
of the church property.

the insurgent strength In the Province of
Laguna, Cavlte and Batangas has been
greatly underestimated. Owing to tho
system and circumstances under which the
insurgent armies were organized, it is Im
possible to obtain accurate or complete
statistics. But It might not be very far
out of the way to say that In the Prov
inces of Laguna, Cavlte and Batangas the
Insurgents, counting In everything, have
in the neighborhood of 10,000 rifles. To the
force of Infantry must be added the in
surgent artillery. The rebels in Southern
Luzon have at least two new four-Inch
Krupps, several excellent rapid-fire guns
of small caliber, and perhaps 200 old brass
cannon, and a reserve of, say, 30,000 bolo
men. Traitors ia Llpa.
The duplicity of the residents of Llpa
has been uncovered, and the facts brought
to the notice of the authorities. In return
for favors received and courtesies shown,
the prominent resident of Llpa laughed in
his sleeve. Perhaps he took the oath of
allegiance, but If he did, he certainly had
no Intention of keeping It. Possibly bo
would tell some officer that he was an
ardent supporter of all things that wero
American, and then a few hours later
would write a letter to some Insurgent rel
ative, in which It would be stated that
his "purse and all he had were at the dis
posal of the lnsurrectos."
Llpa has been the abiding place for va
rious so-called Filipino aristocrats. The
vicinity Is rich, and coffee-raising is es
pecially nrofitable. However, all of the
profit went to the landowners, and. the
poor people lived out In the barrios and
were, to all intents and purposes, serfs.
They were attached to the land, and vlr-
OBEGONIAN, SATURDAY,
tually slaves to whoever owned or con
trolled It. Usually they received no wages.
The owners derived handsome profits, and
made trips to Europe and lived with all
the splendor of Princes. The leaders were
shrewd enough to see that if the Ameri
cans came Into power all this must stop.
In the mountains near Llpa are plenty
of places for the rebels to hide, and be
tween them and the municipal officials at
Upa there Is constant communication. The
officials take minute notice of the Ameri
can forces and immediately notlfly the in
surgents. If a scouting party went out,
the natives in the hills were sure to know
of It in advance. Lieutenant-Colonel
Crane, of the Thirty-eighth Volunteer In
fantry, "who commanded the American
troops there soon after the city was cap
tured, discovered that he was spied upon
by natives, who were loud in their profes
sions of allegiance to the United States.
Quickly and carefully he set to work and
proved beyond any reasonable doubt that
all the leading natives of Llpa were secret
ly working to assist the Insurrection. But
a combination of circumstances over which
Colonel Crane had no control prevented
him from Inflicting upon the war traitors
of Llpa the punishment they richly de
served. TONGUE ANSWERS WOOLMEN
Says They Are Inconsistent in Fight
ing: Shoddy and Favor in ft Olco.
Representative Thomas H. Tongue has
acknowledged receipt of the resolutions of
the Pacific Northwest Woolgrowcrs' As
sociation against shoddy and In favor of
FRONTISPIECE OF WONDERLAND, 1902
oleomargarlne. These resolutions were
adopted early last month at Helena at
the annual meeting of the association.
Senator Mitchell has also received the
resolutions. In a letter to J. W. Bailey,
Oregon Food and Dairy Inspector, Mr.
Tongue points out the Inconsistency of
the resolutions In favoring oleomargarine
and opposing shoddy. He writes:
"The object of the shoddy bill Is to pre
vent people from selling shoddy as woolen
goods; In other words, to prevent them
from selling one class of clothing for what
It la not. The object of the oleomargarine
bill Is to prevent people from selling oleo
margarine as butter. The object of both
bills Is to prevent fraud and misrepresen
tation and to compel the seller to place
his goods upon the market upon their
merits, and sell them for what they are.
"When this association favors the sell
ing of oleomargarine for butter. Instead
of on Its merits. It destroys the Influence
of a thousand resolutions against shoddy.
Tho two bills are precisely of the same
principle. To oppose one and support the
other Is to render the association incon
sistent and to destroy Its influence for or
ngalnst either bill. If the manufacturers
of shoddy and oleomargarine had com
bined to make the association ridiculous,
they could not have succeeded better than
was done.

so at once."
W. A. Storey, ex-Mayor, said that the
voters of the First Ward were largely
laboring men, and that personal canvass
had been made from mill to mill, and from
factory to factory. Foremen were asked
to urge the men under their direction to
register, and Mr. Storey believed the ma
jority of voters In the First Ward either
have registered or will do so. He sug
gested a committee for each ward as the
best way to get out a full registration.
Howell Denounces the Machine.
George H. Howell, a prominent member
of the Typographical Union, made a stir
ring and eloquent speech. In which he de
nounced the machine and made an earnest
appeal for united effort to overthrow the
Boss.
"Public sentiment has awakened to such
an extent,' declared Mr. Howell, "that
when the votes are counted after the pri
mary election the machine will be wiped
out of exlstetnce forever and completely.
Public sentiment Is overwhelmingly
against the machine. We will be proud
to say in years to come that we were
present at this meeting, which marked
the beginning of the downfall of the most
corrupt machine that has ever been known
In any municipality. I- am glad that I, a
worklngman, will have a voice In selecting
delegates to the convention. Instead of
having them named by a Boss."
Daniel J. Qulmby said that If a com-

a
mlttee was appointed to urge the voters
in each ward to register, results would
be obtained that wduld accomplish the
demollshment of the machine and bring
about the end of Boss rule. Mr. Qulmby
referred to the convention of two years
ago, and said it was a slated session, and
not a member dared raise his voice on be
half of the common people.
Dan J. Malarkey urged the necessity for
registration, and said In part:
"We are here tonight to aid In adopting
some plan that will permit the common
people to have voice In naming delegates
to the conventions. We have, through
the primary law now In operation, our
first chance to get an honest count. I b'e-
lleve this representative gathering of tax
payers, business men and citizens to be
the outgrowth of the three previous cam
paigns, In which attempt was made to
overthrow bosslsm. I am always ready
to raise my hand or voice to put down
Bosb rule or machine corruption and con
trol." Precincts to Name DeleKirte.il
United States District Attorney John H.
Hall said:
"I rejoice that we have at last secured
a primary 1-w that will give us opportu
nity to go to the polls, vote for delegates
of our choice and have the vote counted.
If we get a fair count we should support
the majority. I am In favor of a conven

each precinct, he will call In Democrats
to help him capture thc meeting. Naming
delegates should be left to the precincts."
Ex-Fire Chief Joseph Buchtel said:
"Leave It to the precincts. In the Ninth
we can wipe the Simon men from the face
of the earth." Mr. Buchtel moved that
the motion be laid on the table, and the
vote was unanimous, except the vote of
thc man who offered It.
"Let every man get out and see that
his neighbor Is registered," was the plan
suggested by Thomas McCusker.
To Appoint Precinct Committees.
Judge Carey said that It was the pur
pose of the meeting to arrange for put
ting up the best ticket ever nominated in
Multnomah County. "The one question to
bo settled Is to get out our friends and
hive them register," said the Judge, and
he suggested that a motion be adopted to
appoint a committee for that purpose In
every precinct. The formal motion was
made by Charles S. Lord, and the num
ber of each committee was fixed at five.
It was carried without dissent and Judge
Carey announced that the names of those
appointed would be published In the dally
pt-pers at an early date.
A committee of five was appointed,
composed of Messrs. R. Citron, D. J.

Packing; Plan Falls Dottb.
The plan to pack the. meeting with fol
lowers of the Boss was evidently aban
doned at the last moment, for not more
than a dozen known heelers of the ma
chine were present. That the machine
is in desperate straits was evidenced "by
forged letters of invitation which ap
peared last night. They were clumsy
copies and were printed on a typewriter,
whereas the originals were from metal
type. Errors were made In the spelling,
and other defects betrayed their spur-lousness.
FISH DEALERS WILL PROTEST
Complain or Warden Van Dusen'i
CoId-Storage Order.
Following Is a copy of a communication
received by fish dealers restaurant-keepers
and others of this city:
During" the season bejlnnlns March 1 and
ending April 15. It is unlawful to take or flsh
for salmon In the. Columbia River or In any
of the waters of the State of Oregon.
In regard thereto I beg: to notify you that
during said named season It Is unlawful for
you to receive or have In your posession. sell
or offer for sale salmon caught or taken during-
eald named season.
Section 2S or the general flsh laws of the
Btate provides that in all prosecutions under
said section, "the possession by any person"
during the close season named, of any species
of salmon, shall be construed as prima facte
evidence that the same were unlawfully caught
during the said close season.
It la also unlawful for you to receive or havo
In your possession, sell or offer for sale stur
geon during the season beginning March 1 and
ending November 1. H. O. VAN DUSEN.
Master Fish "Warden.
This letter has taken the recipients by
surprise, as no mention Is made of any
days of grace being allowed In which to
get rid of salmon on hand when the end
of February arrives. Dealers say they
shall continue to sell any fish they may
have purchased before March 1, until It it
disposed of, and that, as they were al
lowed to sell' salmon from cold storage
during the close season last year, they
see'no reason why they shall not do the
same this year. There are tons of salmon
now In cold storage which were lawfully
caught during the open season, and the
owners have no Idea of throwing these
flsh away or having them confiscated:
and they also are of opinion that they
should be allowed to Import salmon from
coast hnrhn-N Hiirlno- tVio. nln.. ,....
They say that the prima facie evidence
afforded by fl6h found In their po3s2sslon
uunng me close season only amounts to
throwing on them the burden of proving
that the flsh were lawfully caught.
The dealers hava talked the matter over
and have decided to resist any arbitrary
action on the part of the Flsh "Warden by
an appeal to the courts; so It Is possible
that citizens may still be. able to have
a bit of salmon occasionally during the
Lenten season.
All In Equal Contempt.
HILLSBORO. Feb. 2S. (To the Editor.)
The affair of President Roosevelt can
celing the Invitation of Tillman Is to be
regretted, because It looks as If our
'President Is being made a watchdog of
to be sicked on everything that Is objec
tionable to a few men too cowardly to
do their barking or biting. Certainly the
Senate or House or our courts have suffi
cient authority to protect themselves
against such brutes as Tillman or Mc
Laurln. Certainly the calling of Gen
eral Miles down and sicking of Roosevelt
onto Tillman, when the Senate was fully
able to protect Itself, and the shying of
a stone by the South Carolina Governor
at Roosevelt Is a sickening exhibition of
unwarranted interference with a couplo
of self-confessed skunks that believe they
are the United States. R. CAVE.

There Is a tendency nowadays to ascribe cases of lost vitality to lack of nerve
force and to treat them as such, with tonics, electricity and stimulants, resulting In
but the moat temporary benefit. t at all.
In order to gain true and clear views as to the probable Influence of. the nerve3
as a factor, I have made many observations and examinations and have supplemented
them by long-continued and extended experiments. The experlmsnts have been un
biased by any theory and have not been prejudiced by any ldas or views of my own;
my aim has not been to theorize. Tut put a proper Interpretation on the facts care
fully elicited and the appearances presented. As a result of these observations and
practical experionce I have been convinced that the nerves play but a subsidiary role
in the production of the disorders. It Is very unusual to Ind any trouble, in an oth
erwise strong man, othpr than a damaged prostate or deep urethral inflammation
particularly in those whose disorders originated In too-long-contlnucd and too-often-repeated,
excitement, or the harmful Influence exercised by an Ill-treated, contracted
disorder, and If exhausted nerve force seamed to be present It Is only as a concomitant
or perhaps we may say a complication of chronic prostatitis, and disappeared with its
cure. Still further these facts are verified by purely local treatment, for procedures
directed toward repairing the damaged gland are always rewarded by the most bril
liant curest Colored chart sent securely sealed on application.
