PORTLAND MEN HAKE APPEAL Case Is Being Heard by Supervising: Inspector Captain Conway Tes tifies That the' -Resignations Were Arbitrary and Unjust. SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 18. Whether a marine engineer or any licensed engineer on ocean-going vessels is a slave to the eea is the question involved in the case of J. F. Sullivan, one of the engineers whose licenses were revoked by the Port land Board of Inspectors and Hulls, be cause he re?!gned as first assistant en gineer of the Oregon Railroad & Naviga tion Company's steamer Geo. TV. Elder. The case is being heard by United States Supervising Inspector Bermlngham, and Sullivan's testimony was heard yesterday. He made a statement of facts as before -understood. Superintendent Conway, of the O. R. &.' N. water lines at Portland, testified that he refused to accept the resignations be cause they were arbitrary, unusual and unjust. This afternoon the case of Engineer McKenzIe was taken up. Two of the three suspended engineers, J. S. Sullivan and C. M. McKenzie. testified that they had a perfect right to leave the vessel, as they had signed for the trip from Portland to San Francisco and return. They completed a round trip and then re sided. Later, on the advice of their at torney, they sent a letter to Captain Conway, giving a completion of their en gagement as their reason for leaving. Second Assistant Engineer C. 31. Mc Kenzie said he intended to quit on the arrival of the steamer at Portland, as he saw there was no chance of getting the postion of first assistant. He had heard of no strike on the Columbia River. He1 handed in his resignation, and was never asked by Captain Conway, the chief engineer, or the manager of the com pany 'for his reason for so doing. TV. TV. Cotton, an attorney of the O. R. &. N. Co., and counsel for Captain Berm lngham in the hearing, tried hard to get an admission from JIcKcnzie that he had left the steamer on account of the river strike. . STEAMER WILLAPA SOLD. Belliiifrham Bay Company Buys Her for Sound Service. The Canadian Pacific Navigation Com pany has sold the steamer Willapa -to the Bcl'Jngham Bay Navigation Company for $35,000. The steamer will be used in the service between Whatcom, Fairhaven, Se attle and Tacoma. The "Willapa was first -known as the General Miles, which she' was christened by the Ilwaco Navigation Company, when that corporation built her for service as "a tug at the Colum bia River bar and for coasting service In 1SS2. Captain "W. P. Whitcomb, one of a family of Columbia River steamboat men, was put In charge of her, and re mained In her until 1889, when she was sold to the Portland & Coast Steamship Company, who lengthened her and prac tically rebuilt her. She was then re named the "Willapa, and. in command of Captain L. A. Bailey and John Petersen, operated In the Gray's Harbor trade, with occasional trips to Coos Bay and other coast ports. In 1SS4 she was leased by the Hastings Steamboat Company and handled by Cap tain A. TV. Horn. In 1S95. when the rush to the Klondike was starting, she was purchased by Captain George Roberts and Chief Engineer Lent, then of the steamer City of Kingston. She was extensively overhauled and refitted and thence placed in service on the Alaskan route. In 1F?7 she was los on a Northern reef during a blinding .snowstorm, while bound north with passengers and cargo for Skagway and the Yukon, and the pas ssngers were taken off by another steam er. The wreck was abandoned and after wards sold to the Canadian Pacific Navi gation Company at a low figure. Cap tain John Irving, then commodore of the Canadian Pacific Navigation Company, went north, and. with Diver John Mc Hardy: of Victoria, succeeded in raising the wrecked steamer, which had not been badly damaged. She was temporarily re paired by the divers, and, after being floated by means of empty barrels, was brought to Victoria and overhauled, re iltted and her engines were practically rebuilt, increasing her speed. Many im provements were also made to the hull, vitamer funriea service un der the Canadian Pacific Navigation flag sne was considered a first-class vessel. She operated with success, not only on the West Coast route, where ehe weath ered several notable storms, but also In the run to Northern British Columbian ports and to Skagway. DECEMBER TVIXD AMD WEATHER. Forecast From the Latest Xorth Pacific Pilot Chart. The North Pacific pilot chart for No vember contains the following forecast of wind and weather in the North Pacific ocean in December: "Throughout the entire stretch between San Francisco Bay and the Strait of Fucn, the course of the winds will be from the southeast, with falling barom eter, tnrough south to southwest and west, with rising barometer. Immediately un der the coast the prevailing winds will be southeast. Within the area 123 to 130 de grees west. 40 to 50 decrees north, the most -frequent direction will be south, over ou per cent of all winds being Included between southeast and southwest. Be yond 130 degrees west, as also to the southward of .40 degrees, the winds will have greater westing. Squally weather. with rain and frequent gales, may be expected throughout the entire area, the latter from south-southeast to west. "Continuing southward, northwesterly winds may be expected as far as Aca- pulco. covering a belt extending 300 miles off shore. From 15 to 10 degrees north tasterly winds will prevail; likewise from 10 to 5 degrees as far west as the 103th meridian, beyond which the prevailing di rection will be southeast. The average frequency of calms between these paral lels is 20 per cent (20 hours in each hun dred). The present month Inaugurates the dry season (December-March) on the coast of Central America, the main feature of which is the absence of thunder storms. "An elongated trough of low barometer (pressure 29.60 inches) covers the Aleutian Islands. Around this trough the prevail ing winds blow In a direction contrary to the motion of the hands of a watch. The two circulations, cyclonic (around the low) and antlcyclonic (around the high) thus unite in giving to the winds over the northern half of the ocean a westerly direction. "Temporary areas of alternately high and low barometer, with attendant anti cyclonic and cyclonic wind circulations, will be found moving In a general easterly direction across the ocean in temperate lat itudes. In advance of the former the weather Is Cry (large difference between the wet and dry "bulb thenriometers), the barometer rises, the thermometer falls-, the clouds (cirrus, cirro-cumulus, alto cumulus) tend to dissolve, and the gen eral direction of the wind Is polar or westerly.; In advance of the latter the weather Is damp (small difference be tween the wet and dry bulbt thermom eters), 'the .barometer., falls, the,thermom- eter rises, the-clouds (cirro-stratus, alto stratus, nimbus) ' tend to gather, and the general direction of ihe winds Is equato rial ' or easterly. The eastward passage, f an anticyclone is marked by light, slowly shifting winds and fair weather; of a cyclone, by rapidly shifting winds, gales, rain and foul weather. "Typhoons are not frequent during De cember and are rare during January. Their occurrence Is confined to the region be tween Guam and Luzon and to the south ern part of the China Sea. One of the earliest signs of the approach of a typhoon is the apparent failure of the barometer to respond to the diurnal oscillation. "In Honolulu the average prevalence of the trades during December Is 18 days. "Westward of the islands, between 20 and 25 degrees north, the regular trades will often be supplanted by the southwesterly winds prpper to the southern side of the eastward advancing cyclonic circulations described below, the centers of which may lie far to the northward. Such a shift of the wind will, in general, be preceded by a slight fall of the barometer. Tedious calms, often lasting several days In suc cession, will be met throughout the belt LAUNCH FIRST OF FIVE BEING BUILT AT TJRAGA. Mall advices from Japan give an Interesting account of the launching; of the Romblon, one of five gunboats being1 con structed In Japan for the use of the United States Government in the Philippines. The gunboats are being built by the Uraga Dock Company, Limited, and the Ishlkawa Dock Company, which have united In one big shipbuilding company. They are the first ever built by a foreign country for the United States. The boat was prettily decorated with garlands of evergreens and flowers, and the usual basket of pigeons, to be released at the last moment, was. at her bow. The ceremony of christening was performed by Miss Evans, daughter of Admiral Evans. The launch was a perfect one. The gunboat was christened "Romblon," after one of the Islands of the Philippines, to which group her. sphere of activity will be confined. Her dimensions are: Length, 140 feet; breadth, 20 feet; depth, 12 feet. Her displacement Is 350 tons, and she has 450 horse-power, which Is expected to give her a speed of 10 knot3. She has twin screws. "Without armament, her cost will be 120,000 yen, or ?119,400. 0 to 10 degrees north, 120 degrees east, ISO degrees; also throughout a triangular area, the base of wnicn rests on tne American coast from Cape San Lucas to Panama, the vertex lying in 5 degrees north, 130 decrees west." GAMBLE OS A TARDY SHIP. Roundabout Course Taken by Clydes dale on Pnssnpre From Australia. There is much talk in San Francisco shipping circles over the long passage made by the British snip UJyaesaaie ana the unusual course taicen oy ner in reaching that port from Australia. The ship spent 125 days on her voyage, wmie the average passage is well unaer iw davs. She was heavily reinsureu at au per cent, and people are asking, fays the Examiner, whether tliose wno piayea ner to arrive knew that she was taking an unusual route, which would prolong the voyage. Says that paper: 'The course of the uiydesaaie as mapped out from the captain's log Is one that very few vess2ls follow. Nine out of 10 vessels coming from Australia cross the equator between 150 and 160 degrees west longitude. The Clydesdale crossed the line at 123 degrees west. Tne uiyues dale steered south of Tahiti and east of Pltcalrn Island. The usual course taken by vessels out of Newcastle lies west of Tahiti and near tne Hawaiian lsianas. Captain Evans of the Clydesdale, reports heavy weather on the entire voyage, and blames the elements for the lengthy pas sage. Shipping men wonder how the Clydesdale happened to encounter rough weather when other vessels which left at the same time make no report of con tinued gales. "In the face of the ordinary passages made by vessels leaving Australia during the month of July shipping men find It difficult to ascribe the 125-day passage of the Clydesdale to rough weather, especial ly as the vessel was known to be clean. "When the Clydesdale was at 80 per cent the Liverpool underwriters gave her up as "lost and so , Informed their agent In this city. There was very little play on the vessel In this city. The heavy speculation occurred In Glasgow, Scot land, where the owners of the vessel re side." THE DREDGE CONTRACT. Port of Portland "Will Promptly Furnish Bond Required. The news from Washington that the Port of Portland will be required to give bond before the Secretary of War will approve the contract recently made for the lease of one of Its dredges came -as an unnleasant surprise to the commis sioners. Not that they will have any difficulty in furnishing a bond, but they had hoped that no time would be lost in closing the contract so that the Gov ernment could start in operating the dredge. As it is. the bond will be fur nished at once that the contract may be approved and the appropriation made by the last session become available. Since la'st Friday the new dredge Co lumbia has been working night and day in the lower part of the harbor, and Su perintendent Keliey reports that every thing is satisfactory. Xevr Steamer Line to Persian Gulf. NEW YORK, Nov. IS. An experimental steamship service between the Black Sea and Persian Gulf ports has shown, says an Odessa dispatch to the Times, by way of London, the feasibility of developing extensive trade relations between Rus sia and Persia by that route. An agree ment has been all but completed between the Minister "of Finance and the Russian Steam Navigation Company providing for specially equipped vessels to ply between Odessa and Bushlre. The correspondent says an official of "the Steam Navigation Company informed him that Russia was determined to install herself in Persian markets hitherto ignored or underrated. Lalce Ster.mer Sinks. TWO HARBORS, Minn.. Nov. 18. The steamer Robert Wallace, loaded with ore from Superior, Wis., for Cleveland, sank In the lake 13 miles off this port last night, the result of breaking her stern pipe. Captain Nicholson and crew es caped to the schooner Ashland, which his boat was towing. The steamer sank in 200 feet of water, and will be a total losa Lumber From Schooner's Declx Load. VICTORIA. B. C. Nov. IS. Captain Hugglns, of the ship M. E. Watson, now here, reports that the new lumber seen off Tataoosh Island last week by the schooner' Transit is from a four-masted .schooner which -passed out of the Straits last Monday and lost her deck load in a heavy southeaster blowing at the time. He did not learn the name of the vessel. Xal Arrives Up. The big German bark Nal arrived up yesterday afternoon. She is In ballast from Hlogo, and will load wheat outward. The Nal left the Japanese port Septem ber 25, and was 50 days crossing the Pacific. Kerr, Gifford & Co. are her char terers, and the ship's rate, is 33s 9d. Buoy Goes Adrift. Captain C. G. Calkins, Lighthouse In spector, gives notice that the northeast end of Sand Island buoy. No. 6, a 'first class nun, was reported November 13, as having gone adrift from Its position. It will be replaced 'as early as practicable. Astorln Marine Notes. ASTORIA, Or., Nov. 18. (Special.) The gas buoy that was placed at the mouth of the river recently, near the Inner bar buoy, no longer displays any light. It has met with some accident that has marred its usefulness, but exactly what the trou ble Is cannot be determined until It Is OF AMERICAN GUNBOAT IN taken up and examined. To do this re quires very good weather conditions, which are rarely experienced during the Winter months. All the ballast except 200 tons has been m0,ftt q"artIne,stations from j the British ship County of Roxborough. Several hundred tons of stiffening will be j placed In her before the rest of the im- i ported ballast is taken out. This will re quire but a'few days, and within a week the) vessel will .be ready to receive her outward cargo. When the steamer Redondo arrived In from San Francisco today she experienced some difficulty, as the bar was very rough, and oil was used over the bow to keep the sea from breaking over her. Crescent Takes On Telephone Poles. KALAMA. Wash., Nov. 13. (Special.) The steam schooner Crescent, of the Gray's Steamship Company, of San Fran cisco, took on a cargo of telephone and telegraph poles at this place yesterday for San Pedro. Cal. Marine Xotes.

SEEK USE FOR PAVILION MEMBERS OF BOARD OF" PUBLIC WORKS DISCUSS MARKET BLOCK. Committee Is Appointed to Report on Disposition of the Blinding. The regular meeting ofthe Board of Public "Works yesterday afternoon passed off without a squabble of any .kind, the only matters that were brought up being of a routine nature. A number of bids were received for new street improve ments, and several contracts were let. Some little discussion regarding the. use of the Mechanics' Pavilion ' arose, but It was resolved to leave the matter to a committee of three .prominent citizens, who should report to the board what the JAPAN. building Is suitable for at the present time. The gentlemen present were: Messrs. Mills. Williams. MacMaster. Elliott,. Dev lin and Cogswell, and Mayor Williams.

A remonstrance was received from property-owners along East Sixteenth street, against the acceptance of the street from the contractors, it being stat ed that the piece of work had not been properly rolled, and that it was not made In the right manner. The acceptance was laid over till the next meeting. A petition was received from property- owners along North Front, street, from Fourteenth to Twenty-first, requesting that st fill be made and a large water main be put down, so as to Increase pro tectlon against fire. The petition was re ferred to the Council, with the request that It be granted. A complaint was received from W. R Mackenzie and F, W. Bates against the way in which the recent macadam pave ment on King street has been misused. It was stated that contractors have been using this street to haul earth over, and that so much had dropped from the wag ons that there was a perfect mud-hole now. Mr. MacMaster supplemented the complaint by saying: "That street has been abused most shamefully. The con tractors have hauled dirt on scrapers. rand now the mud Is six 'inches deep. The matter was referred to the street depart ment, and City Engineer Elliott was di :ected to notify 'prospective bidders that when they finished contract work they should clean. up afterward The ordinance granting to the North ern Pacific Terminal Company the right to lay tracks on North Front street was approved. The Ford-street ordinance was held over so that all the members might read it before approving It. Mr. Cogswell asked why the contractors had delayed so long In the Improvement Kon East Seventh street near Pacific. This contract was let In August, and the work .had not yet been commenced, the time limit being up several days ago. Mr. Elliott was directed to call upon, all de linquent contractors for their reasons for delays. A communication was received from the City & Suburban Railway Company stat ing that It would give $1500 toward . the building of a new bridge across .Mont gomery slough leading Into Lower Al bina, or that it would repair that portion used by the car tracks in case no new bridge would be put up The communl- cation was referred to the Council.

It is easy to keep well if we would only observe each day a few simple rules of health. The all-important thing is to keep the stomach right, and to do this it is not necessary to diet or to follow a set rule or bill of fare. Such pampering simply makes a capricious appetite and a feeling that certain favorite articles of food must be avoided. Professor Wiechold gives pretty good ad vice on this subject; he says: "I am 6S years old, and have never had a serious illness, and at the same time my life has been largely an Indoor one, but I early dis covered that the way to keep healthy was to keep a healthy stomach, not by eating bran crackers or dieting of any sort; on the contrary. I always eat what my ap petite craves, but daily for the past eight years I have made It a practice to take one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal, and I attribute my ro bust health for a man of my age to the regular dally use of Stuart's Tablets. '"My physician first advised me to use them because he said they were perfectly harmless, and were nota secret patent medicine, but contained only the natural digestives, peptones and diastase, and aft er using them a few weeks, I have never ceased to. thank him for his advice. "I honestly believe the habit of taking Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after meals Is the real health habit, because their use brings health to the sick and ailing and preserves health to the well and strong." Men and women past 50 years of age need a safe digestive after meals to In sure a -perfect digestion and to ward oft disease, and the safest, best known and most widely used Is Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. They are found in every well regulated household from Maine to California, and In Great Britain and Australia are rapid ly pushing their way Into popular favor. All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, full sized packages at 50 cents, and for a week stomach a 50-cent package will often do $a0 worth of good. KILL TUB DANDRUFF GERM, Or Your Hair Will Fall Out Till You Become Bnld.
