Traffic Men.
FINES STARE THEM !N FACE
Though Act Wa Passed After Imh
ance of Passes, It Scem to Cover
Whole Rnnee of Free Trans
portation or Snippers.
CHICAGO, March 4. Western railroad
managers are in a quandry regarding
what action to take with reference to an
nual passes which were Issued and sent
to shippers before the passage of the
Elkins law. Many thousands of such
passes are outstanding, and, although they
were issued before the new statute went
Into effect, the general opinion is that
their use is now Illegal, and will subject
both the railroaders and users to fines
for violating the act. It is thought that
the Interstate Commerce Commission will
not refrain from Including theje outstand
ing annual passes when they begin to in
vestigate matters.
It was this peculiar phase of the situ
ation which led to the calling of a gen
eral meeting of pasenger officials of lines
who arc members of the Western, Trans
continental and Southwestern Pasaengcr
Associations In Chicago tomorrow. They
are expected to agree among themselves
to "clean house" and place matters In
order for the inspection of "the commis

Independence Seeks Aid of Portland
for Nevr Train Schedule.
The Independence Improvement league
Is sparing no trouble In its endeavor to
secure a better train service from the
West Side division of the Southern Pa
cific. With the present schedule it is
Impossible for the merchants of several
of the Valley lowns to make the trip to
Portland and return the same day, and
is also very inconvenient on account of
shipping, as well as the unsatisfactory
mall service. This can be eliminated by
the evening train that stops at Sheridan
doubling back to the junction and .going
on to Corvallls. It Is this change that
the Independence Improvement League
proposes to effect
A short time ago the co-operation of the
Board of Trade was sought and received,
the board appointing a committee con
sisting of I. B. Hammond, A. H. Devers
and C. M. Idleman, to Investigate the sit
uation. The Chamber of Commerce and
the Travelers Protective Association have
also been requested to co-operate with the
Independence people and the Board ot
Trade, and It is expected they will ap
point similar committees. A committee
composed of representatives from Mon
mouth. Independence, Corvallls, McMinn
ville and Amity will meet the rcpresenta
tlves of the Portland organizations on
Monday In this city, and will deliberate
on the matter prior to conferring with
the 'railroad officials.
Vigorous protest has been made- by
Dallas people to the proposed change.
They say the present train service just
suits them. Other objection is also made
along the line to changes that would be
involved In the adjustment of the Sherf-
flan train schedule.

COLUMBIA SOUTHERN NET.
SurpIuN Over All Ripensc.i and
Onirics More Than $25,000.
For the fiscal, year ending June 30, 1901
the Columbia Southern Railroad earned
over and above operating expenses $57,
700.43, and for the year ending last June
JG9.G03.40. showing a gain of $1502.97.
In the past eight months the earnings
over and above operating expenses have
been J53.5C2.65. which is JS75S.SS more than
for the corresponding period a year ago.
There are now in the warehouses along
the line 20.000 tons of wheat, whereas at
this time last year but 5000 tons remained
to be carried out. This will add materially
to the earnings of the remainder of this
year.
The operating expenses are 55 per cent
of the gross receipts. The annual Interest
charge on $700,000 of 5 per cent bonds is
$35,000. The net surplus from last year's

Stnhba In Snn Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO. March 4.-John C
Btubbs. traffic director of the Harrlman
Railroad System, has arrived here from
Chicago. Having come West for a much
needed rest, Mr. Stubbs remarked he was
not in a talkative mood. He did say
however, that while Seattle would con
tlnue to get the portion of the Philippine
trade she has been enjoying for a couple
of years, she would not be able to draw
thebulk of It away from San Francisco.
With the San Francisco public giving the
interested steamer and rail lines at this
port hearty support, he did not think th
Washington authorities would ever favor
Seattle at the expense of this city and
port.

Its operation during the Summer season.
when 'travel to the beach Is heavy, will
afford room for the talents of the new
official.

day signed the bill granting to the Port
land, Vancouver & Yakima Railway right

WILL DISCUSS DRYDOCK
PORT OF PORTLAND WILL TODAY
CONSIDER. THE MATTER OF SITE.
Pilot Divided a to Advantagei of
Mock's Bottom Location Third
3Iarch "Wheat Ship Clears.
The Port of Portland Commission will
hold a meeting this afternoon at which,
among other things, the drydock question
will probably be discussed. Since Cap
tain Archie Pease pointed out some ob
jections to the Mock's Bottom site for the
dock, the members of the board have
been looking into the merits of other
sites offered; Shipping men hope that
this question will soon be settled, but
none have been able to point out a bet
ter location; cost and everything else con
sidered, than that at Mock's Bottom.
The river pilots are divided on the ques
tion, some of them taking the. view of
Captain Pease that the current running
past the site will make the docking of
vessels difficult, while others are as posi
tive that there Is no current at the point
where it was proposed to have the dock
opening dredged. Still others cling to the
old Idea that a drydock Is not necessary,
and will not have enough business to pay
Its running expenses, maintaining that
what should have been built was a sub
stantial marine railway, capable of tak
ing care of any size vessel. It is rather
late for this kind of talk now, when one of
the pontoons of the new dock Is nearly
ready to be launched.
OTTO SKIBBE GUILTY.
Made Assault "With Deadly Weapon
Upon Paddy Lynch.
ASTORIA, March 4. (Special.) The jury
In the case or Otto Skibbe, who was tried
in the Circuit Court yesterdiy on the
charge of assault with a dangerous
weapon on Paddy Lynch, returned a ver
dict of guilty. Judge McBrlde announced
today that he would sentence the young
man tomorrow morning. The jury was
then excused until tomorrow, when the
case against Mattl Jarvi. charged with
murdering his father, is set for trial.
Jarvi was released on 51200 bonds, with
six property-owners of this city as sure
ties. When last heard from he was work
ing In a logging camp near Gray's Har
bor, but Is expected to arrive here tomor
row morning. All the details for the set
tlement of the case against Captain E. P.
Parker have been arranged. Parker was
teld on the charge of assault with Intent
to kill his wife, but the family does not
want to prosecute him now. The crim
inal action as well as the divorce suit win
probably be withdrawn.
George Leyland, Jr., son of George Ley-
land, of Leyland Bros., the English ship
owners, who arrived here on the British
ship Rlversdale, was unable to go to sea
on the vessel today, as ne is sunering
from a severe attack of the grip. The
boy came on the ship as a passenger, and
Intended to return on her, but now he
will probably go home overland. He Is
being cared for at the home of British
Vice-Consul P. L. Cherry.
Nearly all the poles for the Lewis and
Clark telephone lino have been set. and
the stringing of the wire will be com
pleted within a few days. This will be
the first rural telephone line In the county,
and It will run to about 13 farmhouses.
RIVERSDALE GOES TO SEA.
Vessel Is Short Five Sailors Mon Im
ported From Snn Francisco.
ASTORIA, March 4. (Special.) The
British ship Rlversdale. whose master.
Captain Porter, had considerable trouble
with the sailor boarding-house masters
while In port, went to sea this afternoon
without experiencing any more trouble,
but the ship Is short five men to complete
her crew. The steam schooner Robert
Dollar, arriving In from San Francisco
this morning, stopped alongside the Kiv
ersdale In the lower harbor and trans
ferred eight sailors to her. Captain Por
ter had engaged 13 sailors to be sent up.
and that number started on the Robert
Dollar In charge of a sailor boarding-
house runner, but before the steamer had
left San Francisco Bay four of the men
Jumped overboard and were picked up and
taken ashore by small boats that were at
hand for the purpose- During the passage
up the coast another of the men mys
terlously disappeared, but when or how
Is not known, and he may still be con
cealed on board. These eight men were
transferred from the steamer to the ves
sel, and Captain Johnson; of the Robert
Dollar, in relating the affair, said the men
refused to go on board and that he was
compelled to force them at the muzzle of
a slxshooter. After they were safely on
board Captain Porter decided ot go to
sea with the crew he then had rather than
bo delayed probably' a couple of weeks to
complete his complement. Trouble was
anticipated with the crew when a start
was made to raise' the anchor, but they
all turned to and the vessel was towed
outside without Incident.
FOCXD MARINE GRAVEYARD.
Many Other Wrecks Where Alex Mc
Neil Was Lost.
VICTORIA. B. C. March 4. Details
were received by the Empress of India of
the wreck of the bark Alex McNeil, which
was lost on Pratas Reef, as was briefly
cabled, when bound from Manila to Port
Townscnd. She left Manila December 10,
and 13 days later piled up on Pratas
Shoal, which, by Captain Jorgensen's
reckoning, should have been 60 miles dis
tant. The mate. Evans, and four seamen
left In the ship's boat to explore the reef
nnd nothing further was heard of them.
At low water the captain explored the
reef and found the wrecks of half a dozen
vessels. Including a four-masted ship and
a steamer.
The reef stretched for miles, and at the
western end was a deserted fishing sta
tion, with a joss-house and half a dozen
Chinese graves. There was a deserted
cabin, containing pictures and articles
which must have been secured from
wrecks. After several days spent on the
wreck, the survivors started In their
patched-up cutter for Hong Kong. They
were four days at sea, suffering great, pri
vations, when a Norwegian steamer
picked them up and landed them at Hong
Kong.

bushels of wheat, worth 533,700. G. W.
McNear dispatches the eargo. Since the
1st nearly 3C0.0G0 bushels of wheat have
cleared foreign, a good showing for the
brief time, but the speed will not be kept
up. as the harbor is almost bare of ships.

and the Castor. The former will finish
her outward cargo by the last of the
week, and the latter Is about ready to
begin loading. The steamship Norman

A New. Effectual and Convenient
Cure for Catarrh.
Of Catarrh remedies, there is no end,
but of catarrh cures, there has always
been a great scarcity. There are many
remedies to relieve, but very few that
really cure.
The old practice of snuffing salt water
through the nose would often relieve, and
the washes, douches, powders and inhalers
In common use are very little,, it any
better than the old-fashioned salt water
douche.
The use of Inhalers and the application
of salves, washes and powders to the nose
and throat to cure catarrh is no more
reasonable than to rub the back to cure
kidney disease. Catarrh is just as much
a blood disease as kidney trouble or rheu
matlsm and It can not be cured by local
treatment any more than they can be.
To cure catarrh whether In the head
throat or stomach an internal antiseptic
treatment is necessary to drive the ca
tarrhal poleon out of the blood and sys
tcm, and the new catarrh cure Is designed
on this plan and the remarkable success
of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets Is because be
ing used Internally, It drives out catarrhal
infection through action upon stomach.
liver and bowels.
William Zlmmermau, of St. Joseph, re
lates an experience with catarrh which Is
of value to millions of catarrh sufferers
everywhere. He says: "I neglected
slight nasal catarrh until It gradually ex
tended to my throat and bronchial tubes
and finally even my stomach and liver be
came affected, but as I was able to keep
up and do a day's work I let It run along
until my hearing began to fall me and
then I realized that I mutit get rid of ca
tarrh or lose my position, as I was clerk,
and my hearing was absolutely necessary.
"Some of my friend3 recommended an
inhaler, another a catarrh salve, but they
were no good in my case, nor was any
thing else until I heard of Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets and bought a package at
my drug store. They benefited me from
the start and In less than four months I
was completely cured of catarrh, although
I had suffered nearly all my life from it.
"They are pleasant to take and so much
more convenient to use than other catarrh
remedies that I feel I can not say enough
In favor of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets."

Contracted Diseases
To but partially cure a contracted
disease Is almost as dangerous as
to allow it to go untreated. Unless
every particle of Infection and in
flammation is removed, the proba
bility exists that the disease will
gradually work its way into the
general system. Still greater Is
the danger of the prostate gland
becoming chronically Inflamed,
which always brings on partial or
compleva loss of power. Perhaps
25 per cent of the cases of so-called
"weakness" are a direct result of
some Improperly treated contracted
disease. We have treated-thou sands
of. cases of contracted disorders
with our system, and have effected
a thorough and safe cure in each
Instance. There have been no re
lapses or undesirable developments
whatever, and our patients have
been cured in less time than other
and less- thorough forms of treat-
ment require in producing even
doubtful results.

Accurate Treatment
In Every Case
We wish to make one point distinct and
emphatic, the remedies employed in treat
ing our patients are prescribed and com
pounded to meet the exact requirements
in each Individual case. Every patient of
ours can rest assured that the treatment
he receives is not the "ready-made" kind.
If you want such treatment, go to a drug
store and buy a patent nostrum.
We make a study of every case we
treat, note all conditions In the beginning,
note all developments as the case pro
gresses, and so altor our remedies as to
accomplish just what our knowledge and
trained perception tells us must be ac
complished. After diagnosing your case
we will know Just what you need. We
have treated thousands of cases identical
with your own, and many more of a sim
ilar nature.
"Weakness"
"Weakness" Is not a nervous dis
order, demanding a tonic system
of treatment, but is merely a symp
tom of chronic inflammation or
congestion In the prostate gland.
The congestion exists as a result of
early dissipation or some Improp
erly treated contracted disorder,
and requires mainly carefully di
rected local measures. By our
own original methods, the prostate
gland Is quickly restored to Its
original state, which results In full
and complete return to strength
and vigor. Our cures are permanent
because the condition responsible
for the functional disorder Is en
tirely removed, and we are con
vinced that by no other treatment
Is a radical cure of this ailment
possible.
Stricture
Our treatment for stricture re
moves the necessity for surgical op
erations, even in severe cases of
long standing. We do no cutting
or dilating. No other physician
employs our methods of overcoming
this, disorder, so the service we of
fer you is original and distinctive.
Do not give up hope because others
have failed. We will cure you and
the cure will be prompt and a
painless one. Our treatment dis
solves the stricture and perma
nently removes every obstruction
from the urinary passage, subdues
all inflammation, removes all irri
tation or congestion that may exist
In the kidneys or bladder, reduces
enlargement of the prostate gland
and restores health and tone to all
organs affected by the disease.
