14 THE MORNING OREGONIAN. "WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1, 19031 WANTS MONEY BACK Lumber Company Files Claim Against Port of Portland. TROUBLE IS OVER DREDGING Demands Treatment Similar to That Accorded Another Company Time Ball for Cnstom-Houae Indraparn -Arrives. The lat few weeks of the present Port of Portland Commission will be entirely taken up with the drydock location. Some thing In the nature of a controversy has sprung up between the board and the North Pacific Lumber Company regarding dredging done nearly two years ago that may not be settled readily. In June. 1SW. the port dredged an opening from the ship channel to the lumber company's dock, for which the company paid the commission the sum of J300. Recently. In roan. Poulsen & Co. aaked that a channel be dredged to their dock and offered to pay J1000 toward the cost of It Engineer Lockwood estimated that euch a channel would cost 13000. The commissioners ac cepted Mr. Poulsen's offer and ordered the work done. Now. the North Pacific Lum ber Company comes forward with a re quest that It be accorded the fame treat ment: In other words, that the Port of Portland refund tfiOO of the money they paid.-which will put the two mills on the same footing so far as bearing the burden of the cost of the channel to concerned. .At a meeting of the Port of Portland Commission a written request was re ceived from Cotton. Teal & jlinor, at torneys, asking for an opportunity to present a petition of the North Pacific Lumber Company for a part of the pay ment made by them. The letter aroused a great deal of discussion and finally on motion of Mr. Swlgert, seconded by Mr. Adams, the following letter was ordered sent to Cotton, Teal tc Minor regarding the claim: At the neurit of the North Padfle Lum ber Company, this commission did some dredg ing adjacent to its wharf, it deslmatlnx the location and work to be .done, and agreeing to pay for the time of the dredge while so en caged at the rate of (ICO per dr. So far as thU commission 1 concerned. no Question of policy Is Involved In the transaction.' and the eunmlKlon declines to entertain Its proposi tion for a return of any part of the money paid. There the matter rests for the present. The next move must necessarily be made by the lumber company. If It Is to be car ried any farther. Officials of the company decline to say what they will do. President Donald Mackay believes the company should be reimbursed for two-thirds of the money It paid out for the channel. "There Is no reason why one company should be treated differently from another," he said. "We are heavy taxpayers and ehould not have to pay for the full cost of a channel when another company does not." TI31E BALL FOR PORTLAND. One May Or Placed On the Federal llnlldlnir In it Few Months. The United States Branch Hydrographlc Office will probably place a time ball on the Federal building about July L Ship ping men have long recognized the neces sity of a time ball here, and have been agitating to have one established. One of the towers of the Federal building will probably be chomn as the place on which to erect the apparatus. If permission Is received from headquarters. The build lng well located for this purpose, as the ball could be seen from all parts of the harbor and from most parts of the city. The principal object of a time ball Is to enable shlpmastera properly to rate their chronometers. At present the Instruments are taken ashore for this purpose, and are often affected by the moving and the change of temperature. Many nhlppera leave their chronometers at Astoria on their arrival In the river, and then get mem properly rated hefore they leave. The time ball will be hoisted five mln utea before noon and then droDned ex actly at noon by telegraphic signal from the united States Naval Observatory at Mare Island. The only time ball now operated on this Coast Is located on the ferry building at San Francisco. Nearly all the Eastern ports and the Lake cities are supplied with them. Time balls were recently Installed at Boston, Galveston and xiuiutn. ROUTE OF TUB ARROAVl Tncoma People Still Goetitng Abont Porllnnd-Ilnllt Boat. The Tacoma News says that the steamer Arrow, nearlng completion In this city. was designed to run on the Seattle-Bremerton route. It is believed there that the Isaac? Bros., bankers of Walla Walla, ore the principal owners of the boat. The News' Information was obtained from a letter from one of the best-Informed ct earn toat men of Portland. The writer states that wnllo It is not known posi tively tl)at teases Bros, own any Interest in the boat, it Is a known fact that the money to pny help and for material comes Irom them. He further adds that while the boat was designed and built for the Bremerton run, there is some reason to think that there has been a change in the plans, as it Is now thought likely that the Telephone, which was recently pur chased by the same company, will bo needed on that route. AUternlxe Leaves Eaqnlmnlt. The German bark Alsternlxe. towed by the tug Tyee. left Esquimalt yesterday morning for Portland, bne la under en Kagtment to the Pacific Export Lumber Company to load lumber for China, and her charter expired at midnight last night, but It is understood that the charter will be renewed on the original terms.

SEVERE ATTACK. OF GRIP. Cared by One Bottle of Chamber lain's Conch It e m ed y. The Honest Troth as Stated by Frank W. Perry, Editor of the Enter prise, Shortsvllle. X. V. "When I had an attack of the grip last Winter (the second one) I actually cured myself with one bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. This Is the honest truth. I at times kept from coughing myself to nlerrs bv taking a teaspoonrul of this remedy, and when the coughing spell would come on at night I would take a cose and it seemed mat in tne onexest in terval the couch would pass off and would go to sleep perfectly free from cough and Its accompanying pains. To say that the remedy acted as a most agreeable surprise Is putting it very mild ly, i nau no tuea. uiai u wuuia or couia knock out the grip, simply because I had never tried It tor such a purpose, but It did It. and It seemed with the second at tack of coughing the remedy caused It to not only be of less duration, but the pains were far less severe, and I had not used the contents of one bottle before ilr. Grin had bid roe adieu." For eel by all arugguu. 0. R. & N. TRAINMEN YIELD WILL SOT PRESS DOUBLE-HEADER AND HELPER DEMAND. Bat Tier Get Increase of Wages That Will Cost the Company f30,000 Annually. All points of difference between the O. R. 4 N. Co. and its train and engine crews were adjusted yesterday. The train, men yielded the question of double-header and helper service on the mountain divi sion, and this ended the two weeks con ference between & delegation of employes and Superintendent O'Brien. The question of double-header and helper service la rather technical in Its nature, so far as the general public is concerned, though It is easily understood by trainmen. It is simply a question of the manner In which extra, engines shall be allowed heavy trains on the steep grades and the manner in which wage ac counts shall be allowed. The company, as a rule, prevailed In the question of en gine service! During the conferences the company has granted an Increase of IS per cent In wages to all members of freight train crews and 13 per cent to all passenger crews. This Increase affects all the train, men employed by the O. R. & N. Co. In ail a total of ZU men will share In the increased wage accounts, and the com pany will be compelled to pay out be tween CS.000 and 30.000 In extra salaries each year In order to meet the Increase that has just been granted. The figures on the Increase are not exact, for the company has only estimated its Increased expense. The conferences between a delegation of employes and the company have been 1902-03 GRAIN FLEET JULY. Sailing Bushels. Value. Date. 9 Jacobsen. Fr. bark. 1730. Olivier. V. K-, f. o. Port. G.

AU but one of the meetings have been held In Portland. A week ago Su perintendent O'Brien, who has conducted the negotiations tor the company, met the trainmen and engine representatives at La Grande, in the mountain division. Two days were spent in conference with the employes at that point, and then the conference adjourned to Portland again. W. R. Shepherd, chairman of the organ, izatlon of the conductors on the O. R. & N. and T. S. Tlllson, occupying a simi lar position with the trainmen, have headed the delegation which waited upon Superintendent O'Brien. The question of an Increase In wages was easily settled by the conference. The double-header and helper service proved to be a stumbling block, but after several conferences the management of the line between Portland and The Dalles. Uma tilla and The Dalles and all Washing ton branches, was outlined satisfactorily. The mountain division, or the line between Umatilla and Huntington.' created trouble and called for a conference with the men at La Grande, where train crews are made up for the run to Umatilla or Hunting, ton. Finally, at .yesterday's conference, the 'trainmen decided that, rather than prolong the discussion or precipitate a struggle over a question where such minor differences existed, they would yield to the compauy.

NOT ONE CARGO FOR EUROPE Poget Sound Receives Oedlt for Portland's Floor Shipments The Movement for the Past Sine Months. For the second time this season an en tire month has passed without the ship ment of a single bushel of wheat to the United Kingdom. Wheat shipments from Portland for the month closing yesterday aggregated 522,197 bushels, of which 261. 536 bushels was cleared for Australia and the remainder for South Africa and San Francisco. The shipments to the latter port were the largest of the season, total ing 189,896 bushels Flour Shipments -ivere heavier than they were last March, but were lamentably small In comparison with those from Puget Sound, the ports of 3eattle and Tacoma receiving credit for over 50,000 barrels that wedt out of Portland territory for shipment to the Orient by way of Puget Sound. There was not a single steamer for March ship ment from Portland, the Indravelll. sail ing early In the month, being unable to handle all of the February engagements which had not been cancelled, and ex porters were forced to ship their flour en gaged for March shipment to Puget Sound. or else run the risk of having the en gagement cancelled. For the season, to date. Portland still leads with wheat, but Is far In the rear of-Puget Sound ports when It comes to flour shipments. The figures for the nine months ending yesterday show that Port land has shipped to all ports 8.395,831 bush els of wheat and 732,103 barrels of flour. compared with 1L6U.8S5 bushels of wheat and 696,147 barrels of flour for the same period last season. Puget Sound cities have exported for the season to date 7.320,105 bushels of wheat and 1.623.547 bar rels of flour, compared with 10,733,416 bush els of wheat and 990.0SS barrels of flour. Included In these totals for Puget Sound Is about 100.000 barrels of flour and a few thousand tons of wheat from Portland. The movement, exclusive of the East era wheat and flour. Is, with a single ex ception, the largest on record for the same length of time. From Portland and Puget Sound It has already reached a total (Sour Included) of 26,225,830 bushels. This compares with preceding seasons lor tne same period as follows Season. Hush. Season.

Several famous American physicians and surgeons were recently dining to gether after a session of a National meet ing held In New Tork. "I had a remarkable case this winter, remarked a surgeon present, whose name as a specialist In rectal diseases Is world wide. "My patient was a woman, a deli cate, nerve-racked creature, who had suf fered so fearfully from the ravages of hemorrhoids, that the .knife seemed the only solution of the trouble, and yet hec heart was weak and her strength so wasted by this; fearful disease, that we dared not operate "I had ceased my visits to her for a time and had given up all hope, when one morning she entered my office looking like a new woman; the pallor had disap peared and the lines of suffering were nearly eradicated from her face. She told me that she had purchased a proprietary medicine, namely Pyramid Pile Cure, and that from the first Insertion of the suppositories she had obtained Instant relief. I made an examination and found the rectum In excellent condition, the Inflammation entirely disappeared and the swollen veins In normal condition. "I was so interested in the case that I had th remedy analyzed carefully and was so pleased with the result of the analysis, finding a combination of the most healing and scientific remedies present In the Pyramid Pile Cure and la a more convenient form than I could secure them otherwise, that I wrote to the Pyramid Drug Company at Marshall. Mich- asking for their booklet on piles, their nature, cause and cure, (which by the way Is sent free), and have since used their Pile Cure extensively and with best results In my practice.
