The work on, the Port of Portland dry
flock at Vancouver is not progressing as
fast, as the commissioners would like. The
contract calls for th'e use of the very best
timber, and the members of the commis
sion are determined that none but the
best shall be used. The result is a con
troversy between the board and the con
tractors as to the proper classification of
ihe lumber. The contract calls for mate
rial of a certain grade, and as all lumber
has advanced in price since the contract
was let. a disposition seems to be shown
to put in material worth at present what
the better quality was worth at the time
the contract was made. This the board
doeis not Intend to allow and a number
Df conferences have been held to attempt,
to arrive at a definite understanding on
the matter. It is believed that an amica
ble agreement will soon be reached and
that the board will get what It wants.
Several of the members pride themselves
bn the fact that they know good lumber
wh'-ii they see It. and they are determined
that no fault will ever be found with the
.construction of the dock. They want it
.to bo as Rood a piece of work as the big
flredge Columbia Js. and say they will stop
the confitruct'on entirely rather than allow
any Inferior material to go Into it. It was
this difference as to the interpretation of
the r.:eclflcatl"n. that resulted in the res
ignation of Mr. Blackwell, the consulting
pngineer. 2o appointment has yet been
made of an emr'.neer to succeed him, but
Jt is expected that a name wi',1 be pro
pofold and action taken at the next meet
ing of the commissioners.
CCTTER BEAR' IX STOR3I.
Ccptntn Tcttle Say There Is Little
Hope for Slgltn or Daiwon City.
PORT TOWNSEND,, Dec. 2. The United
States ' revenue cutter 'Bear. Captain Tut--tle.
arrived this morning, 10 days from
Dutch Harbor, after one of the most tu
xmilluous voyages ever experienced dur
lnp the 14 years the vessel has been de
tailed for Arctic work. On November 21
the vessel ran into a fierce westerly gale
of such violence that monster seas were
driven aboard, washing away the forward
honres and flooding the forward compart
ments. The vessel was compelled to heavo
to until the storm abated, after which the
wreckage was cleared away and temporary
repairs made. .
The Boar sighted nothing but a two
majtfd '-Japanese steamship bound out
during the voyage, and Captain Tuttle
Bays little hope can be entertained of ever
htprlng of the schooner General SIglin or
the steamer Dawson City, both overdue.
If they were out in the storm of the 24th.
for the severity of the gale tested the
well-known seagoing qualities of the Bear,
built for Arctic storms and Icebergs.
The 73ear reports the reindeer herds
prospering, there now being 9000 animals
distributed among the relief stations of the
North. The steamer Homer, under char
ter to tKe Government for lighthouse
work, will be the last vessel to leave the
North this season. She has been delayed
by the failure of the mall boat to Dutch
Harbor to arrive with lenses, and may not
get home before Christmas.
SAVING THE LODORE.
What It Cost to Rescue he Ship
From Willapa Brenkcrs.
Captain KeHey, of the British ship Lo
dore. which ' had such a narrow escape
off the Washington Coast In the latter
par.t of October, has made a settlement
with his rescuers and considers that he
got off very well. The ship was In a tight
place for a few hours, but it was also due
to flie prompt, acflon of the skipper him
self that the vessel was not lost. When he
found he was close Into the breakers of
Willapa bar, he wasted no time in getting
his anchors out and that was all that
saved the ship from going high and dry at
the time. The steam schooner Iaqua was
the first to go to his assistance and put a
line aboard. Although the coaster did not
succeed In getting him into deep water,
the intentions of the captain of tho
schooner were good and he was satisfied
with $1000 for his services. The tug Ta
toosh did better. She not only got the Lo
dore out of her predicament and into the
Columbia, but earned for the towboat
company the neat sum of $2500 for a few
hours' work. And Captain Kelley, too, Is
satisfied, for his ship was saved and the
bill Is not a large one. either, compared
.with what some vessels have had to pay
under similar circumstances.

JAMESON NOT DROWNED.
'Deserting Sailor Tarns Up on An
other Ship.
The young sailor Jameson, who deserted
from the Pass of Brander about two weeks
ago. and "who was thought to have lost
his Hie. when he Jumped, Into the chilly
waters of the Willamette, evidently knew
what he was doing and had a confederate
In ' the- game. "1 esterday It was learned
that the man is on the Adderley, which Is
taking on a cargo of lumber down at Rai
nier. Jameson. It appears, boarded the
latter-Vessel' the day after his -plunge from
the FasB of Brander. He took desperate
chances in changing his ship In that man
ner unless "he had a friend, alongside the
.Portland vessel in a small boat. Before
he" signed on the Pass of Brander" Jameson
was arrested here for theft and stood a
good chance of .spending a few years at
Salem. Some friends took him In charge
and secured his release on condition that
he leave town on the first ship that of

STRANGE MARINE ACCIDENT.
Steamer Springs-Leak In Vnaeconnt-
i .. -n"1 Manner in. Straits..
-VICTORIA; B. C. Dec. 2. Tho steamer
Edith, which was -beached Just in time to
gave .her. -when she returned leaking from
tho Cape two weeks ago, Vvtag four
plates removed In drydock. Two of the
plates were broken, and from where they
were struck there is a long scratch and
then another dent, as though the steamer
struck somo submerged obstacle, driving
It away apiece and then striking" it again
before passing. The caj?e Is a remarkable
one. Not a man aboard the big collier felt
any shock. Captain Hall declares he was
in deep water from the time he left Taco
ma with a cargo of coal until the steamer
started to sink by the head at an alarming
rate off Cape Flattery. Not until she was
safely in dock and the water pumped from
around her did he discover the reason.
CREW OP HEBARD SAVED.
Land on Roclcjr Shore, Thanks to
Pincfcy Sailors.
SAULT STE. MARIE. Mich., Dec 2.
The crew of the lost steamer Hebard was
rescued Sunday night and pulled ashore
in a "boatswain's chair" between the
hours of 3 and 5 A. M., when the steamer
was pounding to pieces' on the rocks 200
yards off Mamalse Point, 60 mt!e3 north
of th Soo.
The. ve.sel went cn the rocks bow-on
in a blinding snow storm, shortly . after
midnight. The crew could just distin
guish the outlines of the rocky shore, and
It looked as though no small boat could
possibly live in the raging sea that was
washing over the ship's decks. Volun
teers to make the attempt to carry a line
ashore were found in First Mate Burrell
and Second Mate Jackson. The ship's
yawl had been stove in by the sea, and
nothing remained for the perilous trip
ashore but a little skiff.
Twice the frail craft, was hurled back
by the- waves when they had all but
reached the goal, but the third time the
boat spilled them out just inside the line
of safety. Clambering up the rocks,
clinging tightly to the line upon which
hung the lives of their comrades aboard
the ship, the two men, bruised and bleed
ing from head to foot, fell exhausted on
the shore. Oscar Carleson, who lives
near by, came upon the scene with his
tons id time to help bring the first mem
ber? of the crew to the shore. It was 10
o'clock In the morning when all were
safely on shore.

pected that if the machinery arrives In
time the Imnaha will make her trial trip
up the river about January 10.

ALL WILL DEMAND MORE
LEADING RAILROAD UNIONS TAKE
JOINT ACTION.
Engineers, Firemen, Trainmen, and
Conductors Want More Wages
en Western Roads.
CHICAGO, Dec. 2. The Chronicle to
morrow will say:
With the purpose of formulating re
quests for Increases of from 10 to 20 per
cent in the pay of 170,000 railroad em
ployes, committees from four powerful
labor organizations are now meeting in
Chicago. They are holding dally sessions
In four Chicago hotels, and may be ex
pected to Bend their demands to the rail
road companies early next week.
The four organizations represented by
tho committees are: The Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers, membership 41,000;
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen,
membership 47,000; Brotherhood of Rail
road Trainmen, membership 60,000; Order
of Railway Conductors, membership 20,000.
For the first time in eight years the four
organizations are working in harmony
and may be counted, upon to stand to
gether In the possibility of trouble with
the railroads.
It is announced that requests for In
creases in pay will be made by the four
organizations from every railroad system
In the Middle West and Northwest. East
ern railroads entering the city will bo
similarly dealt with. Tho, roads are to
be given trao month, to meet the demands'
made by the organization.
It Is the general opinion that drastic ac
tion will be unnecessary. Tho railroad
managers are showing a disposition to
treat with committees of their employes,
and it is thought an adjustment will be
reached before tho time to hold tho St.
Louis meeting.
COAL SUPPLY STILL SHORT.
Blizzard Wonld Find New York in
Danger of Freezings
NEW YORK, Dec. 2. Upon' tho weather
depends whether New York will bo vis
ited by the greatest coal famine in Its
history, says tho Herald. Men who are
Interested In the various branches of tho
trade declare they cannot get mors than
a day away from the condition that ex
isted at the end of the coal strike ana
they will not bo able to got further away
this Winter. If a blizzard should tie up
the railroads threesfdays will see the few
'remaining tons selling at prices which
will make them luxuries.
At the offices of the coal-carrying roads
It was said .every effort is being made to
meet the test when It comes, but there
was little hope- There Is coming to tide
water daily about 100,000 tons of hard
coal. About 26.000 tons of this comes to
New York. The rest goes to New England
and Canada. New York s real actual de
mand In Winter Is about 30,000 tons a day.
The supply, therefore. Is about 4000 ions
short. As It must be distributed fairly, no
dealer can fill an entire order nor can a
customer get what he desires.
President Lederle, of tho Board -or
Health, has ordered officials of the ele
vated roads, nevertheless, to show cause
on Wednesday why they should not abate
the use of soft coal.

Journed week before last, It was hoped
by the arbitrators .that the contending
parties would come to an understanding
on some, If not all, points In dispute, ana,
while they do not say anything. It la
known the commissioners are a little dis
appointed at the failure of the two parties
to agree. They will now proceed as they
have done heretofore, and listen to all
the Information that either side has to
present.
It is now the intention of the attorneys
for the mlneworkers to take up the con
ditions in the middle district: For this
purpose about , 20 Italians and Poles,
among whom are some women and chil

JYou hear about the "active
principle' of cod liver oil and
are told that in certain wines,
cordials and extracts of cod
liver oil this principle is pre
sented with the objectional
features left out. Nothing to
it The only actrve principle
of cod " liver oil is the whole
oil.
For years it has been
known that in cod liver oil
are united, in almost invisible
form, valuable medicinal
agents that maintain their
value only sc long as they
are kept in perfect combina
tion, in the whole oil
There is no process of medi
cal skill or chemical science
that can unite these peculiar
properties as they exist in the
whole oil; that is "why there
can be no substitute for cod
liver oil.
In Scott's Emulsion the
whole oil is presented per
fectly emulsified so that it
will readily enter the system
without effort or tax on the
digestive tract. The hypo
phosphites of lime and soda
which are combined with it
are' valuable tonics, increasing
the appetite, 'strengthening
the nerves and restoring vi
tality in the whole system.
The most effective way of
taking cod liver oil, as well
as the easiest and safest, is in
the form of Scott's Emulsion.
Avoid these so-called
wines, cordials and extracts
of cod liver oil that are pre
pared for the taste only, con
tain none of the value of cod
liver, oil which are dosed with
a large percentage of alcohol.
Scott's Emulsion has been
the reliable cod liver oil pre
paration for over a quarter of
a century.

Slept
Very Little Because
of Smothering
Spells, Palp it at ion
and Heart Pains.
To Dr. Miles' Heart Cure
I Owe My Life.
Heart pains, palpitation, smothering -spells,
shortness of breatn,-wcak and hungry spells
and general debility, indicate a weak heart
The longer these symptoms exist the more
serious they become. They represent con
ditions of heart weakness which must re
ceive aid from the outside. A weak heart
cannot cure itself, no matter how slight the
affection. Unless speedily treated It will
grow worse, slowly but surely. A perfect
cure has been found in Dr. Miles' Heart
Cure which removes the cause so that the
disagreeable symptoms soon disappear.
"It gives me great pleasure to add my tes
timonial to the hundreds of others who have
testified to the merits of Dr. Miles' Heart
Cure, as it may be the means of helping
another sufferer to try it. I am sure that I
owe my life and health to Dr. Miles Heart
Care. I had suffered for six years with pal
pitation and pain in my heart, I could not
lie on my left side, I was very weak, and
slent very little because of smothering spells.
I tried every thing I could think of Dut got
no relief until I began the use of Dr. Miles'
Heart Cure. I am now well and able to do
my work and although it is three years since
I first used the remedy I have no sign of
heart trouble. I took in all six bottles of
Heart Cure and think it the grandest medi
cine in the world, and it gives me pleasure
at all time's to recommend it." JiRS. H.
