THE MORNING OREGOyiAN, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1905.
RiYERMEN SAY NO
They Believe Closing of Draws
Would' Hurt Traffic,
COULD NOT KEEP SCHEDULES
Stand Taken "by Navigators That De
lays to Pedestrians on Bridges Are
Slight, and That Boats M-ist
Not Be Held Back.
In the present agitation for the closing
of the bridge draws for two hours each
day steamboat men and those whose com
mercial interests are identified with navi
gation take a stand similar to that as
sumed two years ago when the matter
was up before.
At that time petitions were freely cir
culated and signed by numbers " of the
workers who are required to cross the
"bridges, and the matter was finally taken
to the Government officials. Major "V. C.
Iangfitt called a meeting at which both
sides were allowed to present their re
spective sides of the case, but when the
meeting was held there was but one peti
tioner In evidence as against an array of
navigation Interests. Major Langfltt made
a roport as a result of this meeting and
forwarded It to the Chief Engineer at
"Washington No action has ever .been
taken on this report, however, and the
matter was apparently allowed to drop.
The general view of steamboat men Is
that in the closing of the bridges to river
travel for an hour at a time the benefits
derived by the public would be 'entirely
too small to offset even in the slightest
way the loss to river commerce.
Speaking of the matter last night, Alden
B. Graham, manager of the Oregon City
Transportation Company, said:
"Few of these people who are agitating
this matter of closing the draws seem to
realize that it is the river that has made
and keeps Portland, that In fact it is the
mainspring of Portland's commerce. If
tlioy would look at it from a commercial
standpoint I cannot see how they can fail
to be Impressed with the necessity of
Jielplng. river navigation rather than
hindering it.
Would Delay the Boats.
"There are other features which they
seem to overlook also. They .seem to for
get that for the sake of a few minutes
aved to them an hour may be lost to
other people.
"As an example of this, let us consider
our boat from Corvallis. It takes that
boat 11 hours to come down from Cor
vallis, and suppose that ' it reached
Portland just a little after 6 o'clock. If
the closing of the draws went into
effect, under such a condition our boat
with its passengers would nave to lie
In the stream above the Madison-street
bridge for an hour before it could get
to our dock at Taylor street. "What
about the passengers? Should they be
kept waiting an hour? Yet we could
do nothing: else, since we have no landing-place
above Madison street. Our
freightlmndlers would be kept working
into the night an hour later because
of the time lost. The down-river boats
would be equally as bad oft and the en
tire system would be disarranged.
"I think the matter of delays to the
people crossing the bridges is being
greatly exaggerated. Of course, there
is now and then an unusual delay, but
this is the exception rather than the
rule. I have made it a point to ob
serve the boats passing through the
draws, and it is safe to say that the
average delay to the bridge travelers
Is but from three to four minutes.
"I live on the East Side myself, and
have always found that by figuring on
the possibility of the drawr. being open
and leaving home a few minutes earlier
J can always get over to town In proper
time. From a commercial standpoint,
it seems to me that we cannot afford
to close the bridge to boats at any time
of the day."
Says Schedules Would Be Revised.
H. C. Campbell, general manager of
The Dalles. Portland & Astoria Naviga
tion Company, said: .
"It would work a great hardship on not
only transportation companies but on the
traveling public as well to close the
draws for an hour at a time. It would
completely disarrange schedules, and In
many cases make It absolutely impossi
ble to get the boats through their trips
in any kind of proper time. It is true
that people crossing the bridge are fre
quently compelled to wait, but I do not
think that they are detained more than
three or four minutes as a rule. I think
that Instead of keeping the draws closed
for an hour at a time some arrange
ment might be effected which would prove
more satisfactory, if the draws were
kept closed only for short intervals this
would give the boats a chance to go and
come without much of a wait, and this
would be a measured relief to the people
as well."
Captain Charles T. Karam, superinten
dent of the Vancouver Transportation
Company, is also strongly opposed to the
draw-closing movement. He said:
""The citizens arc taxed for the purpose
of bettering the Port of Portland, and in
that way aiding navigation, and yet they
would apparently hurt It If possible.
Some people seem to think that it would
be no particular hardship on the boats
to hinder them, but they overlook the
fact that schedules are arranged for the
purpose of accommodating the traveling
public and the malls, and that for any
boat to be held up for an hour at any
time would be a serious loss in more
ways than one.
The steamboats make it a rule to get
through the draws as quickly as possi
ble, and since they do that It hardly
seems just to obstruct commerce' In or
der to give some people the benefit of
a few minutes, which they can surely
Bpare better than can a boat."
TO MOVE ASSESSOR'S OFFICE
Offices In Courthouse Will Be Taken
to City Hall.
The County Assessor's office will be
moved next week from the Courthouse
to the City Hall, fourth floor, and the
County Treasurer's office will be moved
from the City Hall to the Courthouse.
County Treasurer Lewis will use the
rooms now occupied by the Assessor.
These rooms were, for many years, occu
pied by the County Treasurer, but will
liav.e to be refitted and refurnished to
accommodate the Treasurer when' the
office is returned" there. The reason for
the change is that Assessor Sigler re
quires more room to do the work of the
office properly. Four or five large rooms
can be secured in the City Hall. It Is
also' considered more desirable to have
the County Treasurer's office. In the
Courthouse than la the City Hall, and
the rooms which the Assessor now occu
pies are ample in size for the County
Treasurer.

Vater Pipe Plays Tricks.
As the result of the breaking of a stand
pipe on the west side of Third street, be
tween "Washington and Stark, last night,
considerable amusement was furnished a
number of bystanders and incidentally a
good deal of trouble caused the Police De
partment. The hole, which was caused by
rust, was about the size of a pencil, and
emitted a stream of water that showered
pedestrians as they passed by. Several
ladles were drenched, and a number of
men without umbrellas had their clothing
soiled. Finally some one decided that
boys were playing pranks and reported
the matter to the police: others thought
likewise, and for a time the desk sergeant
was kept busy explaining the cause of the
downpour.
Lebanon Robbers May Be Here.
From the crew of a train arriving in
this city over the West Side road of the
Southern Pacific, yesterday aftprnoon, it
was learned that two men answering the
description of the Lebanon bank robbers
were seen upon the train just before it
reached Portland. Both carried pails
which seemed rather heavy, apparently
containing eggs. It is supposed that the
fellows, after committing the daring
crime, crossed to this side of the river
and made their way to town, while the
detectives were searching for thorn near
Lebanon.
FINAL ADVENTURES OF
SHERLOCK HOLMES
When Sir Arthur Conan Doyle created the character of SHERLOCK
HOLMES he founded an absolutely unique type and reconstructed the en
tire theory and nature of detective stories. Heretofore such tales had be
longed largely to "dime novel literature." Doyle made his famous detective
a deductive genius, and the style and nature of his adventures set the
reading world to talking. 'When the author ceased at last to write
SHERLOCK HOLMES stories there arose a universal demand for more
of these great detective narratives.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has written, by special arrangement, a new
and final series of the ADVENTURES OP SHERLOCK HOLMES, for
which he received the highest price ever allowed for such literary work, "
Collier's Weekly having paid him 45,000 FOB. THIRTEEN STORIES
A RATE OF ABOUT 60 CENTS A WORD.
These stories have achieved a'great success the greatest, jjerhaps, in
the annals of. so-called light literature. This great success was, of course,
due in part to the fact that the 13 tales comprising the series are the last
SHERLOCK HOLMES stories that will ever be written. On this point
Sir Arthur is firm he will write -no more SHERLOCK HOLMES stories,
now or later.
By special arrangement THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN has secured
the right to publish these stories. They will appear every Sunday for the
next three months each, week a complete adventure and mystery. e

CALVIN STEPS UP
Appointment to Manage S. P.
Is Confirmed,
SUCCEEDED BY WORTHINGTON
Rumors of Past Month Confirmed by
Official Announcement, and Mr..
Calvin Departs for San Fran
cisco Successor Coming.
E. E. Calvin, whose appointment to the
general managership of the Southern Pa
cific was officially confirmed yesterday,
left last night for San Francisco, where
he will assume the duties of hla new
office immediately upon his arrival. B.
A. "Worthlngton, who will succeed Mr.
Calvin as general manager of the Ore
gon Railroad & Navigation Company and
Southern Pacific Oregon lines, was to
leave Chicago last night for Portland,
and Is expected to assume his office by
Monday.
Mr. Calvin's promotion, while looked
for, was only announced yesterday. - A
vacancy has existed In the managership
of the Southern Pacific since the resig
nation of Charles H. Markham. over three
months ago, and from time to time re
ports have gone out that Mr. Calvin was
slated for the position. It Is presumed
that the delay In his appointment was
caused by the arranging of details.
Mr. Calvin has had a wide and varied
experience in railroading, and Is today
considered one of the best men In the
country. He began his career while a boy
and has worked his way up. step by step
From April 1. 1S04, Mr. Calvin occupied
the position of general manager of the
Northwestern grand division of the Har
rlman llnes with headquarters in Port
land, and through his business-like meth
ods and treatment of the commercial
public, has made many friends. The
sudden announcement of his departure
gave but little chance for these to con
gratulate him, but the trustees of the
MUSIC NOT ALWAYS IN HAIR
Vladimir de Pachmann, Who Has Made His Way to Fame, Despite
Cropped Locks, Says It Is the Fingers That Play.
VLADIMIR DE PACHMANN is a
most eminent player of pianos, who
speaks almost Impossible English.
If one be unceasing as a listener and
hang closely to his words he may expect
to tell what the pianist Is driving at. but
otherwise It Is almost hopeless.
Of course one might be deaf, dumb and
blind and still be able to lure birds from
the bushes with his music. An inability
to speak the English, or in fact any other
tongue, is comparatively nothing, gener
ally speaKing, but when It comes to an
Interview, It's different. Vastly different.
From, a few minutes of conversation
with De Pachmann I gathered that he
doesn't think particularly well of America
from a musical standpoint. Of Boston,
yes. Of the rest of the country climati
cally well, but musically very poor.
De Pachmann came to Portland yester
day and is at the Portland Hotel. He will
give a concert at the Marquam on Satur
day night, other things being equal, and
1 sought him for a talk.
He Is Russian, of Odessa, but he seems
German, perhaps because he has spent
so many years there and he speaks Ger
man like a native. It was In this lan
guage, with occasionally a little English,
that he talked yesterday.
Boston Is one of the most musical
cities of the world according to De Pach
mann. He gave many concerts there and
was well received. Philip Hale, who
writes of music for a Boston newspaper, is
one of the best critics of the world. He
thinks De Pachmann a great pianist. One
of the greatest living. This from De Pach
mann himself. Chicago is tolerable. It
patronized De Pachmann pretty well, but
not enough, and San Francisco is a town
after the De Pachmann heart.
This particular great musician has- a
hobby. It is Godofsky. another pianist,
PUBLICATION OF THESE WONDERFUL
STORIES WILL BEGIN IN THE NEXT
ISSUE OF THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN
Chamber of Commerce called upon him
yesterday afternoon to express their
pleasure in his advancement. Mr. Calvin's
family will remain in Portland for the
present.
B. A. "Worthlngton. who succeeds Mr.
Calvin, received his railroad training in
the employ of the Southern Pacific. His
first position was that of telegraph op
erator, after which he was successively
chief clerk to Master Mechanic Stevens,
secretary to General Manager Towne,
secretary and chief clerk to H. E. Hunt
ington, statistician under Julius Krutt
schnltt, superintendent of the Tucson di
vision, superintendent of the Coast divi
sion, and then assistant to Julius Krutt
schnitt. fourth vice-president and general
manager. Since the appointment of Julius
Kruttschnitt as director of maintenance
and operation of the Harriman lines, Mr.
"Worthlngton ha3 acted as his assistant.
He is extremely popular with railroad
men and Is looked upon as a worthy suc
cessor to Mr. Calvin.-
TEEES TO JUMP INTO EIVEE.
Mrs. J. Nel-ion Saved by Policeman
and Taken Home by Husband.
About 2:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
while Officer Craddock was crossing the
Steel bridge, "he noticed a woman stand
ing near the middle of the draw acting in
a rather unusual manner. He approached
her and was about to ask her a question
when she attempted to throw herself Into
the stream below. Craddock JumDed for
ward just In time to save the woman,
catching her by the" skirt as she leaned
over the rail of the bridge.
Beyond the fact that her name was
Mrs. J. Nelson, nothing could be
learned from her. and, as she became
hysterical, the officer took her to the
office of Chief of Police Hunt, where she
was closely questioned. She steadfastly
refused to tell where she lived and what
her reason was for attempted suicide.
Later a man called and asked to be al
lowed to take her home, as she was his
wife. He, too, refused to answer ques
tions., and as there was no charge
against the woman, the pair were al
lowed to depart.
Run to a Chimney Fire.
A still alarm was turned in from Third
and Jefferson streets about nine o'clock
last night, to which Truck and Engine
No. 1 and Chemical No. 4 responded. A
burning flue, which was extinguished be
fore the arrival of the apparatus, was the
cause.
and a pupil of the man who has him for
a hobby. De Pachmann thinks he is the
greatest of all living virtuosos. De Pach
mann expatiated at length on Godofsky's
left hand transcriptions of Chopin and
gesticulated with a truly foreign air while
he talked of his pupil. He got up from
his seat, paced the floor and still in
sisted that Godofsky was the greatest of
them all.
De Pachmann is not a long-haired musi
cian. He said most quaintly yesterday
that the art is in the fingers, not the
hair, and called attention to his own
locks, which were well-trimmed and
which he threatened to crop off more.
"We reached the subject by way of
Padercwskl, whom the artist, who was
being Interviewed, does not grow en
thusiastic over. De Pachmann had some
where learned the good American slang
word "bluff" and he Intimated that be
thought that was what PaderewskI Is
a huge bluff. No flowing pink hair for
De Pachmann. The fact is, to drop into
colloquial expression, he can't see Pader
ewskI at all. i
After the American tour, which will
close next May. De Pachmann will go
"back to "the other side." He may play
sftne jjoncerts In London. but after that
will itjBt a whole year. He has something
up bjs sleeve. He refused to say what
It it', but one might imagine it to be an
opf.ra or another American tour. Amer
ican tours pay well and musicians, even
short-haired musicians, are human.
De Pachmann is no Infant prodigy. In
fact he Is no longer young. He confessed
that he was born In 1843 and that was
quite a spell ago. He Is counted one of
the foremost pianists, no doubt properly
so. and tomorrow night, when he gives
his concert at the Marquam. there will
be many who will listen to his sub
secondary tone elucidations and say he's
great. A. A. G.
NIG0MED1A IN PORT
China Liner Has Uneventful
Passage Across.
HEARD LITTLE OF THE WAR
Whaleback Steamer City of Everett
Rams and Sinks a 'Sugar;Carrier
Off the Atlantic Coast Mis
hap to Aberdeen Man.
The Portland & Asiatic steamship NIco
medla. Captain Wagner, arrived in port
last night after an IS days' passage from
Yokohama that was not marked by any
special Incident. The officers bring no
late war news and say they heard but lit
tle of the Far Eastern conflict while in
the Japanese port. In spite of the
stirring developments of the first part of
January, the Japanese appeared little
concerned and were pursuing the even
tenor of their way.
The Kicomcdia sailed from Hong Kong
January 9 and from Yokohama January
22. After leaving the Japanese coast sev
eral days of bad wether were encoun
tered, but aside from plowing through
heavy seas, nothing occurred to mar the
smoothness of the passage. During the
remainder of the trip the weather was
changeable, but never severe- The only
thing that broke the monotony of the
passage was the opportunity afforded the
officers to shoot several birds that they
described as eagles while skirting the
Aleutian Islands.
A new second officer, Mr. Partz. joined
the ship at Yokohama, being transferred
from one of the Oriental vessels of the
Hamburg-American line trading between
Shanghai and Tsingtau. Mr. Partz only
former visit to Portland was as an A. B.
on the old British bark Thetis, which
was here about eight years ago. He
does not remember much of the city, but
has a distinct recollection of his experi
ence out on the trip to Port Elizabeth,
when the wheat cargo shifted and the
craft nearly went to the bottom.
The liner brings a lighter Inward cargo
than usual, amounting to but 3016 tons. It
consists of 19.S91 rolls of matting, 12S3
boxes of tea, 4271 boxes of Chinese pro
visions, 316 bales of strawbraid, 5430 bags
of rice, 433 tubs of camphor, 4 bales of
silk goods and 64 bales of raw silk. The
steamer made fast to Montgomery dock
No. 1, where she will begin discharging
cargo this morning. The silk will be Im
mediately dispatched to the East by pas
senger train.
SENT DOWN BY WHALEBACK
Sugar Steamer Leif Ericksen Run
Into by City of Everett. '
NEW YOJIK. Feb. 9. After having
collided with and sunk the Nor
wegian steamer Leif Ericksen. of
Cape Romalne. Fla., In a dense fog on
February 4. the Standard Oil Company's
steamer City of Everett returned to this
port today, bringing 20 of the crew of
the sunken steamer. The other two mem
bers of the Ericksen's crew were drowned
either in the collision or when the crew
took to the boats.
The whaleback steamer City of Everett
was bound from New York for Sabine
Pass for a cargo of oil. When In a
heavy gale and fog off Cape Romalne, on
February 4. the Ixsif Ericksen was first
seen crossing the bow of the City of
Everett. The latter's overhanging, cigar
shaped bow cut into the Ericksen's hull
deeply and ripped her open far below the
water line. Several of the bow plates
on the City of Everett were stove In.
Perceiving that the Ericksen was sink
ing fast, her crew jumped into their
boats and were picked up by the City of
Everett. The City of Everett then re
turned to this port for repairs.
The Leif Ericksen was bound from Ma
tanzas. Cuba, with a cargo of sugar for
Philadelphia. She was owned in Bergen,
Norway.
Steamship Ohio Changes Hands.
The well-known steamship Ohio,
which was bought about a year ago by
Moran Bros., of Seattle, and since par
tially gutted by fire, has been pur
chased by Captain O. J. Humphries and
will again go on the Nome route from
the Sound. The Ohio in the past has
made an enviable record in the Alaskan
trade. She was originally brought
around from the Atlantic Coast, where
she had been in the trans-Atlantic
trade for years. She has brought down
more gold from Nome and other Alas
kan ports and carried more prospectors
to those ports, it Is claimed, than any
other one vessel.

THEORIES ABOUT FOOD
Also a Few Facts on the Ssme Subject
We hear much nowadays about health
foods and hygienic living, about vegetari
anism and many other fads along the
same line'.
Restaurants may be found in the large
cities where no meat, pastry or coffee Is
served and the food crank Is In his glory,
and arguments and theories galore ad
vanced to prove that meat was never in
tended for human stomachs, and almost
make up believe that our sturdy ancestors
who lived fourscore years in robust health
on roast beef, pork and mutton must have
been grossly Ignorant of the laws of
health.
Our forefathers had other things to do
than formulate theories about the food
they ate. A warm welcome was extended
to any kind from bacon to acorns.
A healthy appetite and common sense
are excellent guides to follow In mattera
of diet, and a mixed diet of grains, fruits
and meats is undoubtedly the best.
As compared with grains and vegeta
bles, meat furnishes the most nutriment
in a highly concentrated form, and is di
gested and assimilated more quickly than
vegetables and grains.
Dr. Julius Remmson on this subject
says: "Nervous persons, people run down
in health and of low vitality should eat
meat, and plenty of IL If the digestion
is too feeble at flrst it may be easily cor
rected by the regular use of Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets after each meal. Two of
these excellent tablets taken after dinner
will digest several thousand grains of
meat, eggs or other animal food in three
hours, and no matter how weak the stom
ach may be, no trouble will be experi
enced if a regular practice is made of
using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, because
they supply the pepsin and diastase neces
sary to perfect digestion, and every form
of indigestion will be overcome by their
use.
That large class of people who come un
der the head of nervous dyspeptics should
eat plenty of meat and insure its proper
digestion, by the daily use of a safe,
harmless digestive medicine like Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, composed of the natu
ral digestive principles, pepsin, diastase,
fruit acids and salts, which actually per
form the work of digestion. Cheap ca
thartic medicines, masquerading under
the name of dyspepsia cures, are useless
for Indigestion, as they have absolutely
no effect upon the actual digestion of
food.
Dyspepsia in all Its many forms is sim
ply a failure of the stomach to digest
food, and the sensible way to solve the
riddle and cure the dyspepsia Is to make
daily use at meal time of a preparation
like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which is
endorsed by the medical profession and
known to contain active digestive princi
ples. .

Tablets at 50 cents for full treatment.
