Balfour. Guthrie &. Co. to load for Port
land direct. She will follow the Holy

to load coal at Newcastle for Portland,
these two late additions to the en-route list

headed for Portland. This is the largest
number that has been listed for this port
in many years, and there Is also a fleet
of 11 vessels listed for Puget Soultl and
British Columbia ports with cargo. As
practically all these ships will be avail
able for next season's loading, the nucleus
of a new-season fleet will be formed with
out the necessity of exporters taking long

OTTO GILDEMEISTER AGAIV.
XBulsc Affidavit Fall to Secure Amer
ican Register for the Craft.
The German ship Otto Glldemeister,
which was dismasted something over a
year ago while en route from Yokohama
to Portland, is not proving such a bo
nanza as her new owners expected. The
ship, by some peculiar methods known to
German underwriters, but unknown to
British underwriters, was declared a con
structive total loss, presumably for the
purpose of aoid!ng the payment of some
!hlgh-rate reinsurance. She was sold to
a man named Ellis for something over
$25,000, the prospects for a lawsuit going
with her depreciating her value to a cer
tain extent. Her new owner has been
endeavoring to secure American register
for her, and In this laudable pursuit the
mate of the ship has apparently commit
ted perjury. For this reason, the Treas
ury Department refuses to grant Amer
ican registry, and, with freights on the
down grade and shipping property values
tumbling, the profits of the speculators
may prove no larger than those of the
men, who bought reinsurance on the ves
sel. The decision of the Treasury De
partment regarding the matter is as fol
lows: "The bureau Invites your attention fur
ther to the case of the German ship Otto
Glldemeister, mentioned in the letter of
the 11th ult., relating to an application
for her registry as- a vessel of the United
States on the ground that she was
wrecked within the United States, and
therefore that the case is within the pur
view of section 4136 of the Revised Stat
utes, authorizing the registry of vessels
so wrecked, subject to certain conditions
"Referring to your recommendation that
the application receive favorable consid
eration, the bureau has to state that it
Is now in receipt of a marine protest
made by Captain "Wilmsen, formerly mas
ter of the ship, and authenticated by the
seal of the German Consulate, showing
that the ship was dismasted and disabled
2000 miles, more or less, off the west coast
of the United States, and Indicating that
she has sustained no material Injury with
in the United States. The protest sets
forth an entirely different state of things
from that sworn to In the evidence for
warded from your office. You will please
notice that In the documentary evidence
you submit Is an affidavit from H. Usin
ger, chief mate of the ship, that she was
diEmasted and wrecked within three
miles of the shores of the United States,
and that 'said permanent disability' was
sustained In the waters of the United
States; and you will please notice also
that It Is stated In the petition that the
vessel was wrecked in the waters of the
United States by a hurricane, which dis
masted and permanently disabled' her, so
that she became unseaworthy.
"In view of the apparently conclusive
evidence In the protest, showing that the
Otto Glldemeister was not wTecked In the
United States, the bureau declines to au
thorize her registry as a vessel of the
United States, and requests that you
bring the circumstances to the attention
of the United States attorney for such
action as on Investigation he may find the
facts deinand.
"I will thank you to report the final dis
position of the matter. Respectfully,
"E. T. CHAMBERLAIN,
"Commissioner."

The British ship Sierra Ventana and the
French bark BIdart finished loading1 yes
terday and will clear today for Queens,
town or Falmouth for orders. The Sierra
Ventana was dispatched by A. Berg, and
haa aboard 105,200 bushels of wheat, val

ANOTHER NARROW ESCAPE.
Italian Bark Cnvonr Has the Usual
Experience Off Cape Flntterj.
From all of the stories that are wafted
from the death-haunted region of Cape
Flattery. It Is apparent that the under
writers have been very fortunate this sea
sop In not having to liquidate for a large
number of wrecks in that vicinity. The
Italian bark Cavour has Just reached
Victoria, after a two weeks' tussle with
the elements off the Cape, and the Vic
toria Colonist prints her hard-luck story
as. follows:
"The Italian bark Cavpur had a nar
row escape from destruction on Flattery
rocks two days ago, when the mountain
ous sea which followed the heavy south
west gale set her in between the Uma
tilla lightship and Flattery rocks, and
when the tug Tacoma arrived in the nick
of time to save, her from being a wreck
and her crew from possible death she was
not far from the rocks. Captain Schlaf-
fino had the boats made ready to leave
her. The Cavour left Callao n ballast
62 days ago, and on March 3 sbo was
abreast of .Cape Flatten, and a heavy
gale blowing from the southeast blew her
tpwards the Vancouver Island coast. The
seas were running yery high, -and the
essel was several times on her beam
ends. Water -was -coming over her and
flooding her decks. She had a trying
time, and when the latlture of 50 north
was reached the vessel was but seven
miles on shore. There was a terrible
heavy sea setting towards the coasu and
It looked as though the vessels was soon
to go ashore. Captain Schlafllno says
that in his life at sea he never saw such
high waves. The Cavour had her lower
malntopsills carried away, and with her
otHer sails then set well reefed the sail-
ors fought hard to keep the vessel off j
shore. Fortunately, a favorable sauall
aided them, and, although some of her
canvas was torn and rigging strained, the
vessel was worked to the southward, and
three das ago. after many days of con
tinuous gales, she was running for the j
Straits before a heavy SOUthWCSt gale. I
when, as she was near Flattery, the wind
fell off and left her In a monstrous swell,

FRENCH BARIC VENDEE ENTERED YESTERDAY WITH BIG CARGO FROBI NEWCASTLE, ENGLAND.
The French hark Vendee entered at the Custora-House jesterday with a full cargo from Newcastle, England. Included (a
that careo was the largest consignment of pie Iron which has been brought to this port by any vessel within Uw past 13
jears. It amounted to 102S toss. Other cargo on board the essel was 532 tons of fire brfck, luO tons of fire clay, Mi tons of
cuke and "500 tons of sale There were nearly 200,000 fire bricks and 10.223 bags of salt. The Vendee was out -over 200 days
from the EneUsh port before she was towned Into Astoria, and there is a nice green growth on her hull below the water
line. Part of her long vojage la dw,to her becomlnr disabled by a broken topmast while off the California coast. As the
Vendee Is under charter for outward loading, and will require a week or two to discharge her Inward' cargo, the work of re
pairing the damage will be commenced as soon as possible and carried on while the vessel is discharging. The Vendee Is
consigned to Glrvln & Eyre, and will discharge her cargo at Greenwich Dock.

rolling from beam to beam. She broke her
halyards and carried away some sail dur
ing the storm, and when the seas were
setting her In towards Flattery rocks the
crew thought that nothing could save the
vessel, and Captain Schlafllno ordered the
boats made ready, and prepared to leave
her, when the tug Tacoma was sighted.
The tug came alongside as the vessel
was In between the lightship and pot
far from the rocks, and the bark was
saved. The Cavour has been chartered
to load lumber at Everett for Callao."
Wireless Telesraplij on Lakes.
CHICAGO, March 17. A wireless tele
graph system, giving connection between
ships In mid-lake and the mainland, may
soon be an appliance on lake-going steam
ers. The managers- of one of the com
panies are considering the fitting of all
boats, passenger and freight, with send
ing and receiving stations of the Mar
coni pattern. With this In view, they
will make tests of the system within a
few weeks.
Discussion of the plans has been going
on for some time. Officials have become
convinced of the value of the contriv
ance. If the tests are satisfactory, the
boats probably will be equipped with tele
graph stations before the Summer navi
gation season Is well under way.
Ln-ailjer Ship's Fast Passage.
Tho German ship Carl, under charter to
the Pacific Export Lumber Company, ar
rived In from Yokohama Sunday, after a
very fast passage. If the time given out
yesterday Is correct It was a record
breaker, as she was reported to have
sailed from the Japan port February 23.
This would make her passage but 21 days,
and the nearest approach to that time
was the passage of the Selkirkshire, which
sailed across the Pacific in 21 days IS hours
about six years ago. The Carl Is not a
Granger In this port having loaded wheat
here about two years ago.
Lake Navigation Opens,
CHICAGO, March 17. Steamers will be

OF THE THREE OREGONS
EASTERX, WESTERN A?fD SOUTH
ERN DIVISIONS OF THE STATE.
Attention Given Oregon la the Sew
Yerlc Central's Magazine Illus
trated Original Articles,
The March number of the Four Track
News, the illustrated magazine of travel
and education published monthly by the
passenger department of the New York
Central & Hudson River Railroad. Is large
ly devoted to Oregon. The frontispiece Is
a fine view of 'Multnomah Falls, of which
a brief description Is given further on in
the mpgazine. The leading article Is by
Alfred Holman, and Is entitled "The Three
Orcgons." It Is Illustrated by a typical
view of Oregon sheep, an apple-harvesting
scene, a Hood River strawberry field and
a view of some of Oregon's dividend-paying
stock livestock, of course. Other
Illustrations are full-page reproductions of
the Pillars of Hercules, Oneonta Gorge,
and a 6,000,000-foot log raft on the Colum
bia, and a smaller picture showing how
the big timber of Oregon Is felled. Colonel
Pat Donan has a page entitled "Midst
Peaks and Chasms." that serves to carry
the views of Columbia River scenery. Mr.
Holman's account of the "Three Oregons"
Is as follows:
"The lnitatlon which Oregon as a coun
try, relatively new, presents to the world
Is In many forms, and Is addressed to
many sorts and conditions of men. In sin
cerity it would not be easy to say to whom
the Interests and conditions of the coun
try most directly appeal tosthe lover of
natural beauty, to the practical farmer,
to the lumberman, to the miner, to the
navigator, to the man of business, to the
young who seek a fresh fieldof labor, or
to tne old. who seek Tepose where the
airs are soft and severities of climate un
known. Any of these, or all, may find
conditions to their liking here, for It Is
a land of multiplied bounties, of unlimited
opportunities and of abounding and abid
ing charm.
"Theic are, In truth, three Oregons one
at the west one at the east, one at the
south and there Is remaining a remote
and almost unoccupied region, which when
it shall come Into Its own. will call Itself
central. Old, or characteristic Oregon,
the seat of so much history as we have,
of our chief city, and of the most advanced
and settled life of the state. Is called
Western, and occupies the northwest cor
ntr of the mdp. To the west it lies for
000 miles against the Pacific Ocean; Its
rorthern line Is the Great Columbia River,
and It reaches at the east to the summits
of the Cascade Mountain Range. Here
are the abounding rivers, the majestic
peaks, and the forests primeval, which
rise before the mind's eye when the name
Oregon is spoken. Here is that land
nbw a busy, fruitful, cheerful land,
"where rolls the Oregon." which, if the
word of a poet Is good for anything once
upon a time heard no sound save Its own
dashlres. Here is the land of the Web
foot, where the poorest wit of a liar will
assure you It rains '13 months In the year,'
and where, by report of a liar of a better
sort the year Is made up "of the rainy
season and the month of August" Be
ond a doubt It Is. during the four month
of w:nter, a wet country, much like the
south of England an overmolst country.
But of this bountiful precipitation Is born
much, if not all, that gives Western Ore
gon Its special character and Its unequaled
charm.. The never-fading green of the
long and beautiful Summer, the clear
streams which lace the country, ever car
rying frultfulness ana sweet murmurlngs
to Its remotest corners, the deep forests,
which clothe the hills and the mountain
bides, the glistening mantles which glorify
the mounti'n peaks all this la from the
bounty which for Western Oregon never
fails. And our debt to the Winter rains
Is not alone for the beauty which charms
every beholder. To them we owe.thanlts
for the fertility of our soils, for the wlde
rcachlng navigation which makes trans
portation cheap, for our unlimited capacity
to generate electrical power, and for other
and multiplied resources which go to the
making of a country of many and sur
prising potentialities.
"Southern Oregon lies to the south of
Western Oregon. The sea Is at Its west;
California Is Its Immediate neighbor on
the south. It stands In a manner wedged
In between Western Oregon and Northern
Calfornla, and partakes somewhat of the
character of either neighbor. It Is Indeed
that Jiappy land of moderation, where the
rains do not weary with their persistence
and where drouth never comes. Some
thing of the California Winter sun shines
upon Southern -Oregon, but, withal, Its
spirit Is of the north, and Its Invitation
is to the Industry and to the man of the
1 north. It knows not the orange, but it
produces the bat appfe known to ce?t
merce, -It Ja a Jnd relvely remote, for
while It goes out to the world over steel
rails, it Is a day's Journey either north or
south to a considerable city. Southern
Oregon has In It the makings of a very
fruitful country, but It Is' as yet relatively
new, and Its day of greatness Is yet to
come. But there is- no problem la the fu
ture of a land which holds beauty for the
artist, health and JvlBor for the alck and
weary, minerals for the engineer, timber
for the lumberman and unlimited opportu
nity for the farmer and the orchardlst
"Eastern Oregon, with which must how
be reckoned the country hereafter to be
named Central Oregon, Is a country wholly
apart from the regions above described.
It occupies two-thirds of the superficial
area of the state, but in its productive
character Is far less Important than Wes
em Oregon, and scarcely more Important
than Southern Oregon. It Is an elevated
region, and In a dryer altitude, for to
the region east of the Cascade fountains
has not been given the bountiful waters
which fructify and gladden the soil. But
Eastern Oregon Is reasonably watered,
and Is a vastly potential country. Great
hsrds of cattle and horses roam over It;
uncounted (locks of shtep range Its hilly
pastures. Gold and silver ledges rib Its
mountain sldes Nor Is Eastern Oregon
without a considerable basis for agricul
ture. Here and there are vallejs narrow
but fertile, bountifully watered and richly
endowed. Large districts which once bore
every aspect of a desert have been turned
Into grain fields. Her expert agriculture
Is to some extent for parts of Eastern
Oregon He In a region high and dry
bringing artiflcal Irrigation to Its aid,
and is redeeming wide stretches of ele
vated and relatively dry country, literally
making It to blossom as the ro3e. East
ern Oregon Is a country of tremendous
possibilities. Its progress has of late been
rapid, especially in the line of mining de
velopment It has the tone, the spirit, -j
the 'go of a country rapidly growing
and conscious of a large destiny.
"Oregon cr the three Oregons makes a
state which, In many respects, is unique
and unrivaled; and none among Its sister
Ftafes combine conditions and Interests
more varied or more charming.
"Let me odd for the traveler and the
pleasure-seeker that It Is a restful coun
try. The plrlt of the forest Is over It;
Its stt earns flow gently; Its winds are
balmy; It Is a land -where stress and
weariness are soon forgot"
Colonel Donan's "Midst Peaks and
Chasms" Is as follows:
"The use of superlatives Is usually In
direct proportion to the ignorance or pro
vincialism of the writer or speaker. The
newspaper or magazine scribbler who de
clares this, that or the other region has
the grandest or subllmest or loveliest
scenery on the globe, simply advertises
the fact that he has traveled little, or to
lttl niimnyp. No one land or reclon has
u. scenic monopoly no one excels In all
resnects. The Salt Lake of Utah (the
American Dead Sea) Is unrivaled In Its
way among scenic and geologic marvels of
the New World; the Royal Gorge and the
Grand Canyon of Colorado rank among
the abysmal masterpieces of the Divine
Artist and Artificer; and the Yellowstone
Park geysers dwarf by comparison all the
other water volcanoes of creation.
"But, takrn altogether. It Is doubtful
whether there is on earth a stretch of
scenery; for the seme distance, that sur-Dasses-lf
there Is anything that equals
the 86 mllas along, the Columbia, River I
hetweeri Portland and The Dalles, it com
bines all that is wild, suhllme, picturesque
and beautiful In mountain and stream,
gem-Uke island, boundless forest, crag,
cataract and cascade. On one side the
greatest river, with perhaps a single ex
ception, of Western North, Central, or
South America and, on the other, the
giant peak3 -of the Cascade Range, which
numbers among Its mighty Jewels Anow
robed and glacler-crented Mount Hood,
Mount Adams and Mount St Helens.
Precipices towering above the clouds on
one hand, and huge falls or rapids of blue
green water roaring and foaming on the
other.
"Multnomah Falls have been painted
and penciled and sung throughout the
world, but no poet's pen nor artist's brush
has ever been able to portray an Infini
tesimal atom of their loveliness.
"But gorgeously beautiful as they are,
Multnomah Falls are but one of nearly 20
cataracts that tumble, flashing and re
splendently Iridescent, from the mountain-
tops, In this 85 miles of fairyland. Latour
ell and Bridal Veil Falls, though har
nessed to run sawmills and lumber chutes,
are scarcely less loely than Multnomah.
"Wf.d, weird Oneonta Gorge, near Mult
nomah, looks as Kentucky's famous Mam
moth Cave might. If all Its vast cav
ernous halls and chambers were rent open
by an earthquake, and tapestried with.
mosse3, ferns and flowers.
"Rooster Rockj Cape Horn, the Plllara
of Herculee, and Castle Rock, all near
Multnomah, are huge testimonials to the
Titanic struggle that took place when the
mighty flccd of the Columbia burst
through the glacier-crested Cascades.
"Speaking of this wonderland. Cardinal
Satolll sas: As we passed through tho
Rockies, we thought the scenery could not
be surpassed; but when we descended Into

than any we had yet beheld.' "

VALUE OF TESTIMONY.
Greater Than Assertion.
There Is none of us so hardened but that
when we have been able to aid our fel
low-creatures oy comernng a Denent or
bringing a little comfort Into their lives
we like to have appreciation shown. This
generally affords more pleasure than the
performance of the act itself, and in tins
connection the following letter from a
Paris, Texas, lady Is of more than usual
Interest; "Dear Friends: I address you
as suoh, for you have been such to me.
I suffered for three years, off and on,
with piles. J was treated at the hospital,
and the new and elegant hospital of Mem
phis; they only gave me temporary relief.
I came West thinking the change of air'
and water would benefit me; five months
ago the bleeding piles came back on me,
and bled so much that I thought I would
die. I have had four qf the finest doctors
in this section of Texas; all they did was
to finally nearly let me go to
my grave; all they wanted was

time to die, God knew It, and when I died
I would die altogether. I began hearing
about your medicine. I had no faith In
you, but I sent and got a box of your
Pyramid Pile Cure; in two days the blood
flow had slackened to one-half the amount,
and In one week I felt so much better
I walked four blocks and did a little house
work. I was not bleeding then; In three
weeks I was well. God bless you for put

the reach of suffering men and women I
I shall never cease to recommend your
medicine or be without It; also I used your
Pyramid Pills. Sallle A. Hearndon." Tes

Rheumatism
The liniment bottle and flannel strip are
familiar objects in nearly every household.
They are the weapons that have been used for
generations to fight old Rheumatism, and are
about as effective in the battle with this giant
disease as the blunderbuss of our forefathers
would be in modern warfare.
Rheumatism is caused by an acid, sour
condition of the blood. It is filled with acrid, irritating matter that settles
in the joints, muscles and nerves, and liniments and oils nor nothing
else applied externally can dislodge these gritty, corroding particles. They
were deposited there by the blood and can be reached only through the blood.
Rubbing with liniments sometimes relieve temporarily the aches and
pains, but these are only symptoms which are liable to return with every
change of the weather ; the real disease lies deeper, the blood and system
are infected. Rheumatism cannot be radically and permanently cured
until the blood has been purified, and no remedy does this so thoroughly
and promptly as S. S. S. It neutralizes the acids and sends a stream
exhilarating tonic. Our physicians will advise, without charge, all who
write about their case, and we will send free our special book on Rheumatism
and its treatment. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., Atlanta, Ga.

Headaohs Is Hera Pointed Outs
Headache Is a symptom, an Indication
of derangement or disease in some organ,
and tue cause of the headache is difficult
to locate, bocause so many diseases have
headache as a prominent symptom: de
rangement of the stomach and licr. heart
trouble, kidney diease, lung trouble, ee
strain or 111-tittlng glasses, all produce
headaches, and if we could always locate
tho organ which is. at fault, the cure of
obstinate headaches would be a much
ilmpscr matter.
However, for that form of headache
called frontal headache, pain back of the
eyes and In forehead, the cause Is now
known to be catarrh of the head and
throat: when the headache Is located in
back of head and neck, It is often caused
from catanh of the stomach or lier.
At any rate, catarrh Is the most com
mon cause of such headaches, and the
cure of the catarrh causes prompt disap
pearance of the headaches.
There is at present no treatment for
catarrh so convenient and effective ns
Stuait's Catarrh Tablets, a new Internal
remedy in tablet form, composed of anti
septics like eucalpytol, gualacol and blood
root, which act upon the blood and cause
the elimination of the catarrhal poison

Manager.
MIs3 Cora A'nsley, a prominent school
teacher In one of our normal schools,
speaks of her experience with catarrhal
headaches and eulogizes Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets as a cure for them. She saysr
"I suffered dally from severe frontal head
ache and pain In nd back of the ees,
at times so Intensely as to incapacitate
me in my daily duties I had suffered
from catarrh, more or less, for jcars, but
never thought It wan the cause of my
headaches, but finally became convinced
that sjch was the case, because the head
aches were always won.e whenever I had
a cold or fresh attack of catarrh.
"Stuart's Catarrh Tablets were highly
recommended to me a& a safe and pleasant
catanh cure, and after xising a few 50
cent boxes, which I procured from my
Druggists. I was surprised and delighted
to find that both the catarrh and head
aches had gone for good."
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sold by
druggists at 50 cents per package, under
the guarantee of the proprietors that they
contain abso'utely no cocaine (found in
so many catarrh cures), no opinm (so com
mon In cheap cough cures), nor any harm
ful drug. They contain simply the whole
some antiseptics necessary to destroy and
drive from the system the germs of ca
tarrhal disease.
