PROGRESS ON CANAL
Members of Commission Re
view Work for President
GOOD HEADWAY BEING MADE
Cost of Excavating Material Has Been
Reduced to 50 1-2 Cents a Cublo
Yard, as Against 79 Cents
Paid by French Company.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 12. Members of
the Panama Canal Commission now in
Washington called today by appointment
on President Roosevelt. A short time
afterward, John Barrett, American Minis
ter to Panama, had a conference with tho
President. The commission remained with
the President about half an hour. As
they left the Executive office they said
the visit was a "purely complimentary
call" on the President and was without
special significance. It Is known, how
ever, that they discussed with him the
conditions on the Isthmus of Panama
which have arisen since the acquisition
by this country of an American zone, and
the differences between the commission
and tho Government of Panama. What,
if any. conclusions were reached as to
these differences was not disclosed
Tho Commissioners left with the Presi
dent a memorandum giving In detail the
work accomplisned on the isthmus. Sur
veying parties are at work in the vicinity
of Colon, making plans and estimates for
an inner harbor; also at Gutan, surveying
and boring at the various proposed dam
sites in that neighborhood, and for a cut-
oft between Gutan and Tiger HilL At
Sorrlo the surveyors are making detailed
surveys and studies and Investigating the
various damsites that have been proposed
in that locality.
An engineering corps along the main
line of the canal In the vicinity of Cule-
bra is making surveys to determine the
feasibility of straightening the lines of
the French company and to determine the
amount of material removed and to bo re
moved in accordance with the different
canal plans under consideration. Another
engineering force is constructing a reser
voir in the "Valley of the Upper Rio
Grande, which will furnish a minimum
supply of 2,000.000 gallons of water a day
for the City of Panama: also a distrib
uting reservoir for the City of Panama at
Ancon. It is also making surveys and
estimates for a sewerage system for Colon
and plans are being prepared for the con
struction of a harbor there.
The average amount of material taken
out of the Culebra cut has been from 1000
to 1500 cubic yards a. day. This Is with
the use of old French machinery avail
able. Three modern steam shovels, which
are to be put at work on Culebra Hill,
will Increase the cut five feet.
The commission has sent to the isthmus
a large amount of lumber and railroad
ties, has recently opened bids for 2.700.000
feet of lumber, and will soon advertise
for about 4,000.000 additional feet.
In August, the unit cost of excavating
material was cut to 50 cents a cubic
yard, while during the time Major Black
was In charge of the canal work the cost,
according to the French methods of ex
cavation, was 79 cents a cubic yard.
EXCHANGE IDEAS ON WARSHIPS
Important Conference at White Hous
Attended by British Expert.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 12. An Import
ant conference was held at the White
House this evening by the President, Ad
miral Dewey, Secretary of the Navy Mor
ton, Sir William White, formerly naval
chief of the British Navy, Admiral
Cappes, chief naval constructor of the
United States Navy, Rear-Admiral Con
verse, chief of Bureau of Navigation,
Rear-Admiral Frederick Rodgers, Rear
Admlral R. 3D. Evans and Commander
Sims, Inspector of target practice of the
United States Navy. The general sub
ject of battleship construction was con
sidered at tho conference, views being
exchanged between Sir William White
and the American naval officers.
The conference was called by the Presi
dent, Sir William White being asked to
attend. Sir William favored the con
struction of fighting ships and not those
that could run away. This met with the
President's, approval. The Idea found
favor to have sold many of the gunboats
and cruisers, purchased during the re
cent war, which are maintained at great
expense, and whose complement of offi
cers could be used advantageously on the
new battleships.
AMERICAN PROTEST GOES TODAY
Russia Will Be Asked to Explain Why
Mails Were Seized.
WASHINGTON, Oct 12. The State
Department expects tomorrow to dis
patch the papers relating to the seizure
of the mails on the Calchas to the
American Embassy at St Petersburg.
As Ambassador McCormlck is now en
route to the United States, the matter
will be dealt with at the Embassy by
Spencer Eddy, the secretary, who will
simply submit the papers to the Rus
sian Foreign Office with a request for
an explanation as to why the Russian
naval vessels have Interfered with the
operations of the universal postal
union treaty. There is little in tho
way of precedent to guide the nego
tiators on either side in this matter,
which probably will In the end come
before The Hague tribunal when It Is
reconvened. Almost daily some new
phaso of International law requiring
final and acceptable construction by
competent authority has arisen, and
the subject of the right of belligerents
to Interfere with mails on neutral ships
is regarded as one of the most impor
tant
Dewey Offers to Assume Command.
WASHINGTON, Oct 12. Admiral Dewey
has again offered to assume command of
the combined fleet in the Caribbean Sea
and direct the Winter maneuvers. If his
services can be spared from the presi
dency of the general board at that time
Secretary Morton will certainly accept the
Admiral's offer. It Is probable the Ad
miral will leave in the Mayflower early
In the new year and assume command of
the fleet at Guantanamo. The fleet will
reach Guantanamo between January S and
10, where Admiral Dewey will assume
command of the combined fleet and Win
ter maneuvers will begin. From the Car
ibbean the ships will come north for tar
get practice, which will occur either at
Pensacola or near Key West

GREATEST IN THAT CITY.
Extent of Manufacturing Industry of
Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghampton.
People on the Pacific Coast have little
appreciation of the magnitude many of
the great proprietary medicine plants
have assumed In the leading sltles of the
East and Middle West To a city for In
stance of the size of Partland. the estab
lishment of a successful proprietary med
icine house would mean as much If not
more In Its direct effect on Portland's
rapid industrial development than the lo
cation here of any other single manufac
turing plant
Elkhart Indiana, for Instance, is the
home of the Dr. Miles Medical Company,
and the proprietors of this great company
are the leading bankers and the most
progressive citizens of Elkhart The pros
perity of Lowell, Massachusetts, has
been materially Increased by the great
business developed by the J. C. Ayer
Company and the C. I. Hood Company,
proprietors of popular brands of sarsa
parllla that have been on the markets
of the world for so many years past
The greatest 'success In recent years per
haps attained by any proprietary medi
cine house of the world is that of Dr.
Kilmer Company of Binghamton, N. Y,
This firm is composed of Dr. J. M. Kil
mer, the father, and Dr. Willis Sharpe
Kilmer, his son. The latter Is now tho
active head of the house. The house of
Dr. Kilmer & Company today is the rich
est corporate organization In Bingham
ton . It occupies Its own eight-story fire
proof building, filling a whole block In
the center of the city. All of the floor
space of this immense structure is used
for the manufacture and distribution of
"Swamp Root" the medicine so exten
slvely advertised by Dr. Kilmer & Com
pany. The firm owns the leading bank
of Binghamton,. a prosperous city of 45,
000 population. Dr. Willis Sharpe Kll
mer is owner of the Binghamton Press,
one of the most prosperous Interior Da
pers of New York state, and both the
Drs. Kilmer have long taken an active
part in the Industrial, commercial and
social growth of their home city.
The younger Dr. Kilmer takes a great
interest in all the gentlemanly sports. He
Is an enthusiastic dog fancier, having to
day the finest dog kennels in America.
He is one of the most expert amateur
automoblllsts in New York. In a recent
series of automobile boat races on .the
Hudson he made a new world's record
against such antagonists as the Vander-
bllts and other prominent members of
New York City's "400."
The only large proprietary medicine
house on the Pacific Coast today is that
of the California Fig Syrup Company.
'J. ne business of this company was started
by Dr. R. E. Queen, a former druggist
of Reno, Nevada. The parent house Is
In San Francisco. Leading branch houses
are maintained, however. In Louisville,
Kentucky, and In other cities of the Uni
ted States, and the business of the com
pany runs Into millions of dollars a year.
Portland with Its advantages of rail con
nection and its growing trade with the
Orient offers today exceptional oppor
tunities for the establishment and main
tenance of as large a proprietary medi
cine house as that of Dr. Kilmer & Com
pany at Binghamton or that of the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Company in Sin Fran
cisco.
Mr. P. T. Campon, a personal repre
sentatlve of Dr. Kilmer & Company, is
visiting Portland In the Interests of his
principals. The West generally Is an ex
cellent field for the sale and distribution
of well advertised and meritorious brands
of patent medicines, and the genius of
such men as Dr. Kilmer, who have cap
tured this field for the distribution of
their products, may commend itself to the
attention of men who are most Interested
in the material prosperity of Portland.

A POLLUTED CITY RESERVOIR
Makes Prudent People Think of Means to
Protect Their Health.
" Peruna, by Creating Healthy Mucous membranes. Is a
Great Precaution Against Acquiring Diseases From Impure
Drinking water." Dr. b. Jt. ttartman.
CITY reservoirs furnish the water
for the vast, multitude of people
wno constitute tne population ui
our numerous cities.
These reservoirs are liable to be con
taminated. Contamination is almost
unavoidable.
If the people who drink city water
could know what happens to the water
they are" drinking, they would be more
careful.
Many cities furnish water absolutely
unfit for drinking.
The dangerous qualities can be re
moved by boiling the drinking water.
In some cases this

is very inconve
nient and puts a
great burden upon
the people. Yet It
ought to be done
for self-protection.
But in spite of all precautions, peo
ple are, especially during the Fall
months, exposed to the dangers of im
pure drinking water.
"Wherever the exposure is unavoid
able, tho system can be protected In
some degree by healthy mucous mem
branes. A mucous membrane free from ca
tarrh Is not so liable to absdrb disease
germ's a3 an unhealthy mucous mem
brane. Indeed, it may be doubted whether a
perfectly healthy mucous membrane Is
subject to contaminations of this sort
ilss Minnie Coop, 150 Hasting St, St Louis, Mo., writes:
"I cannot speak too highly of the merits of Pernna. I was tronhled
for four years with a malarial condition of the system, making me suscepti
ble to colds and afflictions resulting therefrom.
"My digestion was very poor, my breath bad and my sleep poor. I had
used several remedies, but nothing helped me until I tried Peruna.
"A great change took place, and I knew within a week that I had at last
found the panacea for my troubles. I used it for nearly two months, and felt
satisfied with the results. At the end of that time I was strong and well, and
It has kept me in perfect health ever since. If I reel badly at any time, I Just
take a couple of doses and find that It soon restores me." Minnie Coop.

and heallnff the mucous membrane by
the use of jPcruna.
A teaspoonful or two of Peruna taken
every day during the Fall months,
when the drinking water Is at its worst,
Js a great precaution against acquiring
diseases from Impure drinking water.
A few doses of Peruna put the mu
cous membranes right and guard the
system against impurities.
If the cities cannot protect the Inhab

inhabitants must protect themselves by
keeping the mucous membranes clean
