PORT OF PORTLAND WILL CON
SIDER DRYDOCK QUESTION.
SBperlritendcBt Loclrweea -to Report
ob Victoria Property New Loca
tions Will Be 0ered.
At a special meeting to be held .a 4
o'clock this afternoon, the Port of Port
land Commission will endeavor to agree
finally upon a site for the drydock. Unless
they settfe the matter today. It prob
able that the commissioner wM find
themselves in deeper water than eer, as
it la understood that a number of new
sites will "be offered for their considera-
B. C Lockwood. the commission's
engineer, will make a report on his inves
tigation of the Victoria dock site and it
is believed that the action of the board
in regard to the property trUl
largely on this report- Mr- lockwood
will probably not make any recommenda
tion, but will submit bis findings in re
lation to the material brought up in the
borings, the cost of preparing the dte, and
the proper method of placing the doc
within tho lines of the tract, if such is
possible.- If he finds the dock cannot be
located within the area of the Spencer
property, it is believed be will submit a
plan of mooring it partly outside the
harbor line, subject to the approval of the
"War Department.
Rivermen and pilots continue to discuss
the advantages and disadvantages of the
numerous slUts offered for the dock, as
well afl locations never proposed to the
commission. Not a. few of them assert
that the dock should be placed at the
mouth of the Columbia, where it would be
handy for vessels coming in disabled.
Others point out that the great majority
of shlpa of this class must come first to
Portland to discharge their cargoes before
they could enter a drydock. A river pilot
said yesterday, speaking of the Victoria
dock site:
"The Victoria site is all right, so far as
being handv to the city Is concerned, and
they say the price is reasonable enough,
but Portland people must remember that
we are getting larger vessels here right
along. It was not lone since I brought
a steamer up the river that measured
435 feet In length. When we get the bar
dredged -out and the river Improved, the
arrival of vessels of this size, and larger,
will bo tho usual thing. Then they will
find it is no simple thing to move monster
ships in and out of a drydock that is
placed in the center of the shipping dis
trict The trouble will be even greater
if they allow the drydock to be placed
outside the harbor line. It is a difficult
matter even now to turn tbee huge
.tnomnra -irflimH nf that nlnrte. The dry-
dock, in my opinion, should be located
down the river somewnere, away lrora me
center of the shipping activity."
WOULD SAVE ONE DAY.
Shortest Traim-Atlantlc Steamship
Route.
Renewed attention is being directed in
England toward a short trans-Atlantic
route which has been talked about for a
score of years past The absorption of
several steamehin lines Into one corpora
tion controlled in the United States has
thoroughly aroused the British public, and
it is now plainly said in some quarters
that if England does not immediately de
velop the shortest-route project, tne
Vnlted States will step in and reap the
nolden harvest.
One of the best natural harbors in the
British Isles Is that of Galway, on the
west coast of Ireland. Almost straight
across the Atlantic to St John's. New
foundland. The distance' between these
two outposts is but LS1G miles; from Liver
pool to New York It is 3116 miles, ana
from Southampton 3035 miles. The time
from New, York to London could. It is
claimed, be easily shortened 24 hours by
the St John's-Galway route. It is assumed
that transit by land between New York
nnd St John's would be a material time-
saver, while on the other side the rail
way and steamboat distance from Galway
to London Is less than from Queenstown.
where hurrying passengers are now ac
customed to debark or embark.
Commenting on this project an English
periodical says, referring specifically to
the United States:
"British trade In the Atlantic is seriously
threatened; in a short time it will have
fallen into utter decay unless a strenuous
effort to regain it is made and it is in
the light of a bid for the lost supremacy
and a challenge to all competitors that
this enterprise must be viewed.

for the Autumn months of 1903. It is
hoped to have this ready for distribution
July 1, 1303. Successive seasonal charts of
this ocean will appear at quarterly inter
vails until the entire year has been in

MUSKEGON", Mich., March. 13. The
steamer Alice Stafford, from this port for
Chicago, which became stuck in a floe of
slush ice last night, was freed at 2 A. M.
by the Goodrich line steamer Atlanta.
Having worked the Stafford out, the ice
closed around the Atlanta, which was im
prisoned for several hours. Both steam
ers struggled all night, and finally reached
Grand Haven this morning. They left
later to work their way through the ice to
Chicago. Nothing has been heard from
them since. The ico floe is two miles wide,
14 miles long and 20 feet deep.

schooner, has been unable to load within
1300 tons of her capacity. The channekt at
Baltimore and Philadelphia are too shal
low for her, and there are only three piers
in Boston where she can unload. The Law-
son was towed last week from Boston to
Newport News, Va., by the New York tug

JEFFERSON CITY. Mo.. March 13.
(To the Editor.) Jefferson City, the cap
ital of Missouri, is situated on the right
bank of the Missouri River, and is mon.
nearly the geographical center of the
state than 13 the capital of any other
state. It Wjis located soon after tho ad
mission of Missouri into the Union, by on
act providing that the capital should be
located on the Missouri River at soma
point within 15 miles of the mouth of
the Osage River.
Jefferson City is becoming an old town.
but not so old as it looks: but the reader
NEW DEPUTY FOOD
IT. V. Tartar.
is left to Judge whether or not this re
mark savors of flattery. It has a popu
lation of about' 5000 people, and at least
nine-tenths of all Its houses are of brick,
giving it at least an appearance of
solidity. It Is built on a succession
of broken hills, rising rather abruptly
from the river to an, average height of
perhaps 100 feet
The caoltol building, so you are in
formed bv an Inscription on one" of Its
pillars at the main entrance, was built
In 1S39, when L. W. Boggs was Governor.
Fifteen years ago two wings were addea
to it one of which is used for committee
rooms and the other by the House of
Representatives. The Senate chamber is
the identical one which has been usea
for that purpose since the beginning, and
no visitor would doubt It for a moment
Certainly, for 40 years the inside of the
building ha been a stranger to point
kalsomlno or carpenter. Orange and
apple peallngs, not to mention other for
eign debris, are to be seen Jn the cor
ridors and in the doorways at all times,
without seeming protest or even observa
tion by those in authority, and tho ut
most freedom of privilege prevails with
out the semblance of restraint
Iron cuspidors weighing 30 pounds each.
I should Judge by the unconcealed effort
it required for" a young colored man to
carry two of them at once, are used,
and this colored man carried them all,
two at a time, to a place Just within
the main entrance to the House, where
another colored man with an iron tank
holding about 20 gallons of water per
formed with an ordinary rag the pleasing
task of washing these cuspidors for fu
ture use. For a radius of ten feet from
where he stood, this perspiring darkey
had tho floor covered with filthy water,
utterly oblivious of the fact that mem
bers were flung past him taking their
places for an evening session.
A scene such as this in the Oregon
capltol building, would send Janitor
NewBtead to his bed for a three weeks'
layoff for a recuperation of his nervous
system.
One of the assistant Janitors here is a
negro convict and I frequently saw him
going through the aisles in the House
when it was in session dressed in his full
striped .convict suit Indeed, he was as
familiar a figure on the floor of the
House as C. J. Curtis or Simon Caro
became during our last session.
Missouri's capltol building has no ele
vator, and in that respect is on an ex
act equality with our own in Oregon In
either case you meditate while you wait
The Missouri Legislature consists of 34
Senators and 147 Representatives. The
Senate is like any other Senate, but the
House Is unlike any other House It is
hoped. Mr. Whltecotton, the Speaker, is
serving his second term as such, but at
times absolutely loses control of the
members. Party feeling is seemingly as
Intense here as during the period immedl-
ately
after the war, although occasion-
ally a few Democrats of the younger
generation join the Republicans on some
measure and break the line.
A few days ago some member Intro
duced a bill preventing negroes riding
on railway trains with whites, and yes
terday Its discussion occupied three hours
of the most acrimonious debate I have
ever heard. The Republicans have 65
members of the House and there are
enough younger Democrats who fre
quently align themselves with the Re
publicans against legislation they deem
too radical to defeat it This they did
in the matter of the attempted exclusion
of negroes from railway trains, which
was popularly known as the "Jim Crow
bllL"
A bill passed both Houses yesterday
making it a penitentiary offense to steal
a chicken. As might be supposed, the
discussion of this measure took a wide
range, and in the House required two
hours to reach a vote. One Democratic
member declared in
thundering tones
that no more Important measure had
been before the House this session, and
the constitutional rights of the negroes."
It "was in the interest of every white
housewife of Missouri."
It became a law by a strict party vote
in both Houses.
During the discussion of a free text
book bill yesterday, which really brought
out some excellent speeches, the Speaker
lost control of himself, the House lost
control of Itself and the wildest scene
I have ever witnessed in any Legisla
ture was enacted. An effort was made
by some of the Republicans to move for
a reconsideration of a former vote, with
a knowledge that some of the conserva
tive Democrats would help them out
This the Speaker knew, also, and re
fused to recognize any Republicans,
whereupon such a scene followed as would
do your eyes good to look upon. If you
can recall the noisiest moment of the
last hours of a Senatorial contest in Ore
gon, you have only recalled a well-conducted
Quaker meeting by contrast
The three main aisles leading toward the
Speaker's desk were filled with angry,
threatening, shouting and advancing
men, who it seemed would attack the
Speaker in person, or at least each
other. After pounding with his huge
savel for order, without the slightest
effect whatever, unless it was to in-
crease the confusion, he laid down his
gavel, deliberately left the platform and
retired to his room In the rear of the
stand.
By inquiry I learned that this frequent
ly happened here. One of the rules of
the House provides that when hat body
becomes unmanageable the Speaker can
declare an adjournment without a mo
tion. This is a wise provision, for in
on atmosphere like that of yesterday, if
the Speaker could not retreat, the elec
tion -of a new presiding officer would
certainly be an every other day affair.
I 'had but Just concluded an experience
of sitting beside the Speaker for an hour,
when the foregoing scene occurred, and I
regarded my escape as being quite prov
idential. But. individually, these Missouri states
men are courteous and clever to a fault
I have been treated royally by all of
them, from Governor Dockery down, and
have been given every possible atten
tion. I came too late in their session
to be assured of securing an appropria
tion for the Lewis and Clark Fair at
this session, but the intention to make a
good state exhibit in Portland In 1905 Is
expressed everywhere. Governor Dock
ery feels that the appropriation bills
will exceed the revenue for this year

compelled to veto some of them, but the
members of the appropriation commit
tees think the Governor is mistaken,
and the aggregate of them will show dif
ferently. This cannot be determined for
some days yet
At any rate, it can be taken for a
fact that Missouri will have a grand ex
hibit at out Exposition In 1905, but I
find the opinion quite prevalent here
that an appropriation at the session in
January. 1905, wilf be quite sufficient to
transport Missouri's exhibit at St Louis
next year to Portland, in time for the
opening in May of that year. It would
facilitate- matters somewhat, however, if

done if a proper effort had been made two

Qrat the only thing known that cures kidney
disease in the chronic as well as the primary
stage. The Pell caso cited below, by permis
sion, is especially vaiuaoie.ior iu lccuraDUity
was doubly confirmed by coxuraltiBgpbjsicians,
and after recovery under the FultoaCompooads
the recovery was xlno doubly attested.
On May 1st, 1SCS, the son of R. C PelL the
manager of the Paelfie Coast Biscuit Company
of Second and Folsoxn streets. San Francisco,
was declared b;sho family physician to have
chronic kidney duease and Incurable. Another
physician was called in and confirmed tho
diagnosis. Tho whole body waa swollen with
dropsy, and a fatal termination looked for. Tho
Fultoa Compounds were then turned to as the
cnlv boos. On September IS the dropsy had
disappeared and the boy was well, and after
double examinations ice pnjiician aeciarea ins
recovery complete and gave Mr. Pell a written
report which hanow has.
Judge O. A. Cabanias, the Polico Judge of San
Francisco, also attests the recovery under his
own observation of a frlead of his who also
recovered when the case (chronic Brieht's Dis
ease of the kidneys) was well know to be la-
cur&Die according u ail meaicai authorities.
Up to tho advent of the Fnlton Compounds,
medicine knew nothing that would cure kidney
troubles after they became chroalc. About
nine-tenths of all eases ar cow curable, even
after they have developed .into the dreaded
chronio forms of Bright' s Disease and diabetes.

Losing Flesh
That means a low condition of health ; the body
is poorly nourished and thinness follows. The
system is then susceptible to disease any one of a
number of ailments finds easy access. Get plump.
How? Scott's Emulsion.
Plumpness and health go together usually; it's
safer to be plump anyway. And in Scott's Emul
sion there are the very elements that make new
flesh and repair wasting.
We call Scott's Emulsion a food-medicine be
cause it does so much through nourishment. When
there is a loss of flesh and wasting conditions exist
it. is an evidence of starved tissues and nerves ; flesh
and blood are hungry. They want the nourishment
and food principles so perfectly blended in Scott's
Emulsion.
The whole body soon feels the influence
of the new force and a noticeable change for the
better takes place at once. That, is why Scott's
Emulsion" is so good for those who are losing flesh
or suffering from any wasting disease.

MEN'S DISEASES
CURED TN STAY CURED
DR. W. NORTON DAVIS
AVE ARE ALWAYS WIL
LING TO WAIT FOR OUR
FEE UNTIL CURE IS
EFFECTED.
Different doctors have dif
ferent Ideas in regard- to
cures. Some call a suppres
sion of symptoms a cure.
They dose for drug, effects
and claim that nothing more
can be done. But the real
ailment remains, and will
bring the real symptoms
back again, perhaps the
same as before, but very
likely leave the patient in a
much worse condition. We
claim that nothing but com
plete eradication of disease
can be a real cure. We treat
to remove the disease, and
not merely the symptoms.
We search out every root
and fiber of an ailment, and
we cure to stay cured.

WEAKNESS"
We not only cure "weakness" promptly,
but we employ the only treatment that
can possibly cure this disorder . perma
nently. It is a system of mainly local
treatment entirely original with us, and
is employed by no physicians other than
ourselves. This may seem a broad asser
tion, but it is just as substantial as it
Is broad. So-called "weakness" is but
a symptom of local inflammation or con
gestion, and a radical cure Is merely a
matter of restoring normal conditions
throughout the organic system, and this
we accomplish thoroughly and with abso
lute certainty.
Stricture
Our treatment for stricture is entirely
independent of surgery. A complete cure
is accomplished without cutting or dilat
ing. All growths and obstructions in the
passage are removed, the membranes
cleansed, and all Irritation or congestion
removed.
Contracted Disorders
Every case of contracted disease we
treat Is thoroughly cured. Our patients
have no relapses. When we pronounce
a case cured there is not a particle of
Infection or Inflammation remaining, and
there is not the slightest danger that
the disease will return In its original
form 'or work its way into the general
system. No contracted disease is so tri
vial as to warrant uncertain methods of
treatment, and we especially solicit those
cases that other doctors have been unable
to cure.
Specific Blood Poison
We cure this disease completely. The
system Is thoroughly cleansed and every
poisonous taint Is removed. The last
symptom vanishes to appear no more, and
all is accomplished by the use of harm
less blood-cleansing remedies. Do not
submit to dangerous mineral dosing com
monly Indulged in. Such treatment mere
ly obscures the symptoms.
VARICOCELE
Cured Without Cutting
The time was when every man afflicted
with varicocele had no choice other than
to allow the disease to go on undermin
ing his power and health, or submit to a
surgical operation. Now he can choose
a thorough cure by painless treatmept
and without being detained a single day
from his business. Our metnod is original
with ourselves, and Is the only safe and
successful treatment for varicocele yet
devised.
