Complaint of The Dalles
Merchants Unfounded. .
POSITION OF REGULATOR LINE
14
-Company Hon So Intention of Injur
ing: the Business of Merchant
of Any Locality Race Be
tween the Boats.
The most noticeable effect of the rate
war between the steamboat lines on the
Columbia Is the Increase in business, in
which both companies share. Another fea
ture that is apparent is the feeling that
Is cropping out between the . contestants
and their friends, which indicates that
the trouble will not be terminated with
out a struggle.
Both the Bailey Gatzert and the Charles
R. Spencer started out on their second
round trip yesterday morning with good
passenger lists. The Gatzert carried 300
passengers, her full limit, and had to(
turn away 40 more. Arrangements nave
been made with the" United States steam
boat inspectors by which an excursion
permit will be given the Gatzert tomor
row. That will enable her to carry 550
passengers. The additional lifepreservers
necessary to comply with the regulations
were sent up by the freight boat yester
day. Advices from The Dalles to the
Regulator office are that 550 passengers
will be down on the return trip of the
Gatzert today, and 500 are in sight for
Monday.
The Spencer carried out 150 passengers
on her trip yesterday and had a good
amount of freight for The Dalles and way
points. Captain Spencer, the manager
of the company, has gone to The Dalles
s business connected with the line.
George "W. Simons, auditor of the Reg
ulator line, speaking of the protest made
by Dalles merchants against the cutting
of rates, said yesterday:
"We are friendly to The Dalles and to
its merchants. We are also taxpayers In
"Wasco County and have large interests
there. We do not consider that the busi
ness men of The Dalles have any just
grounds of complaint against our serv
ice, nor have they had in the past, aside
from the congestion of traffic and irreg
ular schedule that was occasioned by the
June flood. But that has nothing to do
with freight rates. The whole trouble Is
that the people of The Dalles believe we
belong to the O. R. & N. They are sorry
they sold their stock to us, though we
paid them their price.
"The Regulator Company continues to
advertise The Dalles, the Columbia River
and the Inland Empire as 'they have
never been advertised before.
"We have never had one single commit
tee meeting of merchants of The Dalles
make complaint to us in a business-like
manner.
"There is enough business on the Co
lumbia River between Portland and The
Dalles for only one company. That was
proved when the White Collar Line
handled the route in the most energetic
manner for more than 15 months, expend
ing over $20,000 in advertising for busi
ness, and then disposed of its property
with plenty of experience and no profit.
We have the boats and they are in ex
cellent condition, and we mean to keep
them so. The Regulator Company in
tends to give the people a splendid
service at Regulator rates; that Is, the
tariff that has been In force for the last
ten years.
"If the merchants of The Dalles don't
know the cause of the present condition
of rates, let them ask themselves why
they have taken for more than six
months special pains to divert the bulk
of their freight shipments from the Reg
ulator lino to the railroad or to the op
position boats.
"To prove our assertion that we intend
to handle D. P. & A. X. Company's prop
erty as the Regulator Line, it seems
hardly necessary to direct attention to
the regular boats of this company main
taining the regular freight and passen
ger schedule . to all the points on the
Tiver. We have no desire to. injure the
business of the merchants of any locallty
through which we run, and do not intend
to make concessions that will injure any
one. We have rights and it is only proper
that we protect ourselves."
SFBN'CER. AXD GATZERT IX RACE.
Former Reaches Her Dock Trro
Bout Lengths Ahead.
THE DALLES, Or.. Sept. 3. (Special.)
The steamers Charles R. Spencer and
Bailey Gatzert arrived at their respective
landings in this city this afternoon at
just 4 o'clock, after a neck-and-neck race
from Crates Point, Ave miles below the
city, the Spencer reaching her dock about
two boat lengths ahead of her competitor.
The docks and walks about the landings
were lined with spectators to see the
finish of the trip of the competing liners.
About 300 passengers left the Gatzert,
according to the local agent. The pur
ser of the Spencer reports that about Its
limit of 200 landed at Its dock.
The Spencer Company today cut their
passenger rate to 50 cents to Portland
and way stations, charging $1 for the
round trip. This conclusion was reached
after an amicable adjustment with the
merchants' committee.
The town is crowded beyond all limits
of comfort with excursionists tonight.
HOW" SHE WILL GET OUT.
Ship Ttv o Brothers Is to Be Rolled
From Vancouver Into Deep Water.
The captain of the ship Two Brothers
came over from Vancouver yesterday to
see about making preparations for getting
his ship into deep water. The Two Broth
ers is the ship that went up to Van
couver to load during the June freshet.
When the cargo was nearly all aboard It
was found that the river had fallen so
low that It was Impossible to get the ves
sel out. Dredging of the bar below Van
couver 'was resorted to, but did not prove
successful, as the silt in the river bottom
filled up the channel as fast as it was
excavated. The skipper of the lumber
vessel has about concluded to discharge
his cargo onto barges and then take the
ship over the bar light. This he can do
by shifting ballast so as to roll the ves
sel over on her side, In which position
she will not draw much over nine feet.
Then when he gets Into deep crater he will
reload his cargo and go on his way re
joicing. SAYS HE WAS SHANGHAIED.
Sailor Shipped on the Windsor Park
Thinking It Was a. Coaster.
The latest over-sea arrival in port, the
British ship Windsor Park, Is already
short several of her crew. One of the
men to take leave without the captain's
pcrmlsison is a. sailor named Sutherland.
He shipped on the vessel while It was
lying at Port Los Angeles. Sutherland be
longs to the Coast Seamen's Union, of
San Francisco, and declares that when he
signed it was with the understanding that
he was going aboard a coaster. Not until
he got on the ship did he learn his mis
take and then It was too late to get
ashore. Consequently the sallorman
watched his opportunity and soon after
the vessel reached this port he quietly
slid over the side and disappeared. It
Is said he has shipped on the lumber
schooner Olga for San Francisco.
It is due to the captain of the Windsor
Park to say that the sailor was shipped
A notable Tcceptlon was given on board the Concord and Marblehead by the officers of those vessels, to a limited number of guests yesterday. The affair lasted from 2 to 5 o'clock in the
afternoon. Light refreshments were served and there was dancing to the music of the Nineteenth Infantry band from Vancouver.
Captains Perkins and Phelps, respectively of the Concord and Marblehead, had placed their vessels stern to stern, connecting them with a short foot bridge. Both boats were gaily dec
orated and hung with awnings of bunting and the flags of all nations. The crews were out in their newest uniforms, and the ships in holiday attire from stem to stern. The principal awnings
covered the after decks of the ships. Here chairs were placed and comfortable nooks left for tete-a-tete. All the officers from Vancouver, the ships' officers, and several local military offi
cials were in full uniform. The ladles wore light Summer costumes, and all with the flags made a very charming picture in whatever'dlrection one could look.
All the ships' small boats were kept busy throughout the afternoon carrying the guests to and from the foot of Stark street, so that "much extra color and liveliness was added to that
part of the river. V
The reception was delightfully conducted and a great success. -It was one of the most important social functions held here for some time.
Among the invited guests present were: General Funston and the members of nls staff from Vancouver; General and Mrs. Owen Summers. Mr. and Mrs. Theodore B. Wilcox,. Mrs. Mather
Mrs. C. J. Reed, Mr. and Mrs. Whitney L. Boise, Mayor Williams, Mrs. H. D. Green, Mrs. Mlnot, Miss Frances Lewis, Miss King, Mr. and Mrs.'W. B. Ayer, Mrs. Cabell, of Vancouver; Colo-'

MORSE OUT OF QUARANTINE.
North Star and North Kinpr Have
Violated Government Resrulntions.
ASTORL, Or., Sept. 3. (Special.) The
American bark Harry Morse, which ar
rived in last evening from Bristol Bay,
Alaska, was kept In quarantine until this
evening, when Bhe was released by Gov
ernment Quarantine Officer Earle upon in
structions from the "Surgeon-General at
Washington. The health of all on board
is good.
Late last evening the launch Star, with
Herbert Berry. William Ross and Thomas
Russell on board, went down to the Morse
and brought Captain Reynolds, master of
the vessel, ashore. On learning of It Dr.
Earle went down to the bark' and remained
the balance of the night to prevent any
others leaving her. This morning he
wrote to United States District Attorney
Hall, requesting him to proceed against
Captain Reynolds and the three -young
men who brought him ashore, for a breach
of the quarantine regulations.
The steamer North Star, owned by the
Alaska Fishermen's Packing Company,
and the steamer North King, owned by
the Portland-Alaska Packers' Association,
are also under the ban for violating the
quarantine regulations. They arrived from
Bristol Bay. Alaska, a few days ago, and.
Instead of stopping in the quarantine dis
trict until after being examined, they
came direct to the wharf and those on
board went ashore.
Dr. Earle has just learned of this, and
has notified the owners and masters of the
vessels that they must explain. Ho has
also informed the department of the vio
lations, with the request that the proper
proceedings be commenced. Under the
law the lowest penalty for violations of
the quarantine regulations is a fine of
5500.

BREAKS HER CROSS HEAD.
Accident to the Lnrline Cannes Her
to Change Routes.
The steamer Lurline, of the Kamm line,
is now operating with one engine. On her
trip down to Astoria Wednesday after
noon the cross-head of one of the en
gines broke 'just after the boat left Ka
lama. She proceeded on her way, how
ever, and made the round trip, but yester
day the Undine was put on in her place.
It will take about a week to repair the
damage on the Lurline and in the mean
time she will be operated in the place of
the Undine on the Portland-Vancouver
route, as she can do the work there fairly
well with one engine.

SCENE ON" THE UPPER
oned on fire. The third engineer was killed
and six of the crew are missing.
The survivors had a thrilling experience.
Fire, which had broken out on board,
reached the petroleum tanks on Sunday
and caused a terrific explosion, killing the
engineer. The crew took to the boats dur
ing a violent storm. One boat with six
occupants drifted away and was not seen
afterward. It is supposed that she was
swamped In the high seas. The weather
continued so bad that the survivors in the
other boats took refuge again on the
Klampenborg on Monday evening. On
Tuesday, they had to take to the boats
again and they were at the point of ex
haiistlon when they were rescued.
AMPLE, ANCHORAGE AT ASTORIA.
Chart of Lower Harbor Shows Few
Shoal Places.
ASTORIA, Or., Sept 3. (Speclal.)-Pilot
Wood today received a blueprint of the
chart Issued by the United States Engi
neers, showing the depths of water in the
lower harbor, which has been the subject
of much discussion of late. The chart
shows that the conditions are not nearly
go bad as has been intimated. The worst
place is on the spit just below. Smith's
Point, which has extended quite a dis
tance to the west, and the spar buoy
marking it will have to be shifted down
stream.
There is another small ppot that has a
depth of only 23 feet at extreme low
water. It is directly opposite No. 7 buoy.
This spot is to be marked with a beacon,
authority for its establlshrent having been
received from the Lighthouse Department
in response to a request made by the
pilots.
There is a ridge of comparatively shal
low water that separates the main chan
nel from the one caused by the current
from Young's River, but on either side of
it there is a good depth of water, with
ample room for anchorage.

CARGO SENT DOWN RIVER
INDnAVELLI FREIGHT HAS TO BE
LIGHTERED.
Below Slaughter's There Is Plenty of
- Water in the Channel for the
Big Stenmshlp.
Two hundred tons of the Indravelli's
cargo was lightered down the river past
Slaughter's, 50-mIles below Portland. The
steamship left this city Wednesday, pil
oted by Captain Pease. The lightered part
of the cargo was taken down by the R. R.
Thompson. The Indravelll drew 22& feet
and when she took on the 200 tons the
draft was Increased six or eight Inches.
Below Slaughter's the channel has plenty
of water.
Captain Conway, superintendent of
water line of the O. R. & N., was Impa
tient at the delay yesterday. He said that
he could not see any good excuse for the
river's being In such shape. The proper
remedies opportunely applied, he said,
would have obviated the delay in clearing
the channel. He adverted to the fact
that a month ago SCO tons of the Indra
samha's cargo had to be lightered also.
Several river pilots were sought for
their opinions in the matter but only one.
Captain Harry Emken could be found. He
did not deny that the delay might have
been avoided, but he pointed out that the
river channel now 'has more depth than
ever before at this season of the year.
"In two weeks." he remarked, "the chan
nel will have a minimum depth of 25 feet
all the way to Astoria. The two dredges
are doing the business- and doing It well.
"How mucsh water did we have last
year?" responded Captain Emken. "Ah-er,
let's see." and he consulted si notebook in
his desk. "This Is the first week in Sep
tember, Isn t It? Ah, here It IsThe best
water then was 21A feet. ThatTrone foot
less than now. See, here it Is just as I
worked it at the time." '
The channel has only three shallow
places. These will be deepenSd right away
If the dredges keep up their present rate
of work: One Is at Reeder's or Willow bar,
where the dredge Columbia is now en
gaged; the second is at Martin's, where
the dredge Portland Is employed, and the
third Is at Slaughter's. Over all three
places, the channel at high tide is 22&
feet deep.
At Reeder's, a more permanent channel
is dredging than the old. The old course
ran counter to the current, but the new
follows the flow. The old was two miles
long. The new Is one mile and a quar
ter. The width of the channel is now 150
feet The dredge is doubling this width
and is Increasing the depth. As the river
will fall about 2& feet yet this season
and as the depth of the channel at Reed
er's is now 22 feet, the dredge will have 1
to dig some five feet more.
At Martin's, intermittent dredging is
necessary for a distance of about two
miles. Slaughter's is the place that will
make itself felt next as the river goes
down. The length of channel there to be
cut out Js about one mile and a half. Mar
tin's is about five miles above Kalama,
Slaughter's Is 11 miles further down
stream, and Reeder's v is 16 miles below
Portland.
"The channel is getting easier to main
tain every year," said Captain Emken.
"We can get a 25-foot channel for the
lowest stages of water and even greater
depth If money will hold out. And the
money required will not reach a tremen
dous sum either. Major Langtltt and his
engineers have the right ideas, and we
all hope there will be enough money to
carry out their plans. I may say In this
connection that the channel is in good
shape and- that the worst trouble comes
right here in Portland harbor.;
River pilots will be glad to know that
Major Langfitt Intends right away to re
move the dike which faces Coon Island
at the mouth of the Willamette. This
breakwater Joins the dike which closes tho
upper mouth of the Willamette and Is
about three-fourths of a mile long. It was
Intended to prevent erosion of Coon
Island, but Its purpose was futile, and the
pilots believe that It has aided the growth
of the bar which has to be dredged out
every year at the mouth of the Wil
limette. The dike causes the Willamette
to flow Into the Columbia at a right angle.
The removal of the breakwater will per
mit the confluence at a wider, angle.

SHE HIT THE NAIL ON
THE HEAD.
Who Says a Woman Can't Do It?
A lady living in Providence, R. I.,
whose 18-year-old son was taken down
with stomach and bowel troubles during
tho hot spell in June has had an excellent
opportunity to know the wonderful ben
eficial results from the uso of Abbey's
Salt of Fruits in just such cases.
She did not fool with drugs, did not
pay a dollar for doctor's bills, but with
a woman's keen wit she hit the nail
square on the head at once by giving her
boy the natural tonic laxative and stom
ach corrector Abbey's Effervescent Salt
of Fruits. The lady says:
"When my boy was taken ill and
seemed on the verge of mental collapse, I
at once gave him Abbey's Salt of Fruits,
which I had used myself with excellent
results many times before. I was not sur
prised to see how quickly his entire sys
tem responded to the magical power of
your wonderful remedy. Most surprising
of all was that while for many years
he had no appetite, he seemed able after
the first two or three days to eat and di
gest his food as well as he ever could.
In ten days his stomach and bowels were
as strong as ever, and he is now in per
fect health. I am filled with gratitude
and admiration for the wonderful proper
ties contained in Abbey's Effervescent
Salt, which Sn several occasions has
brought happiness Into my family.

DIPLOMACY AND RUBBER
Secretary Hay Has Adopted
Rubber Heels.
If hustlers will let up awhile
in their struggle after wealth;
Quit striving to Increase their pile
And look out for their health;
They will be wearing rubber heels,
And make a demonstration
Of the easy way, like Sec'y Hay,
The diplomat of the nation.
To overcome the jars of life
And show their friends the ones
That come the next to angels' wings
Are called O'Sullivan's.
Treasured energy Is as necessary In
diplomacy asj In the more humble walks
of life.
If rubber heels are good enough for
Secretary Hay, they are good enough for
you.
But none of them are so good as
O'Sullivan's. 1 35c pair.

Stomach Trouble All
His Life.
Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills
Cured Him of Both.
As is very ircquently found the stomach
trouble and headache in the following case
came from the same cause. Dr. Miles Anti
Pain Pills, like all of Dr. Miles' Remedies,
are designed to cure the disease, not the
symptoms. This readily explains why these
sterling medicines can cure such a variety of
diseases. There is no remedy, formula or
Srcscription which in any way equals Dr.
, liles' Ami-Pain Tills for the speedy cure
and relLf of headache and kindred ailments.
"Up to the age of twenty-three my son was
greatly troubled with severe pains in the
stomach. After he had served his term of
enlistment with the army in the Philippines
he came home and was unfit for anything
because of terrible headaches. He found
that Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills not only re
lieved him of the headaches but would pre
vent an attack if taken in time. He contin
ued their use for some time and to his sur
prise and delight he found they had cured
the stomach trouble also. You may imagine
how grateful both he and myself feel to you
for the good the Anti-Pain Pills have done
him. I may add that I have used your med
icines in our family for many years and keep
a bottle of Nervine in the house all the time.
I think it an ideal household remedy and all
the remedies are just what you recommend
them to be. You have my permission to
publish this." Mrs. M. L. Farkar, Walla
