Part He .FInds That ithe Steamers In Port Are Prop erly Equipped and Men Properly Drilled. Rear-Admiral Ixmis Kempff, . 'who reached the city early yesterday morning on the steamer Oregon from San Fran cisoo, did not take a day off to rest from his journey or Jook up old acquaintances or landmarks. He started In as soon as he had his breakfast to Investigate the steamboat inspection Hervice, which is what the President sent him here for. The Admiral "covered" the ivater front from Salmon street to the Steel bridge, and his stroll will long be remembered by local steamboat men. Admiral Kompff's duty, as he expressed It, fe "to inspect the life-saving ap pliances and regulations of steam vessels In the interests of owners and passen gers." He is acting under the authority of the Secretary of the Department of Commerce and Labor and -will report to that official. He is neither giving orders nor making recommendations to any one in the inspection service, nor does he deal direct -with boatowners. It was the local inspectors who yesterday put the steamboat men through their passes, but it was for the benefit of the Admiral. Admiral KempfTs visit to the different steamboats was entirely unannounced. He took the officers and crews unawares, but found that they were living up to the regulations in nearly every Instance. Fire drills and boat drills were called for unexpectedly and the men were found to be well trained. In the matter of equipment, -a few minor deficiencies were discovered, but on the whole the boats were in good order. The . local United States inspectors, Tap tain E. S. Edwards and George F. Puller, were at work at the Regulator dock when the Admiral appeared. They inspected, the steamer Dalles City, which has just been overhauled, and finding the work up to the requirements of the law will give her annual papers and she will start out on her route "Wednesday. The Bailey Gatzert did not fare so well, for the inspectors called on the company to put a new transom in her. This will necessitate hauling the boat out on the' ways again. Her new boiler will be put 1n when she is hauled out, so the delay will not be great. Fire Drill Called For. Having watched the work at tills dock, the Admiral accompanied the two inspec tors to the foot of Salmon street, where they visited the Iralda, going over her from stem to stern and carefully exam ining her equipment. Then they boarded the Mascot, a little farther down. The Are drill was called for and at the first clang of the gong the deck hands dropped truck and baggage and in a few seconds had water playing on an imaginary blaze. The boat drill wa then ordered and gone through with in quick time. The port boat, however, was not as dry when it struck the water as when it hung in the davits. The Ad miral shook his head and orders went forth to overhaul the boat before the steamer left the dock. At the foot of "Washington street was the lone ready to pull out for "Washougal when the party appeared. Captain Hos ford bad expected to put the remodeled Jessie Harkins in service yesterday and lay off the lone for an overhauling, but the inspection of the Harkins on Sunday showed that the straps on her Hfepre- servers were half an inch short. "We'll have the fire drill first." said Admiral Kempff. The bell was rung and the astonished deckhands, who had sized up the distinguished looking stranger for a passenger, dropped their work, and, rushing to the upper deck began to unreel the fire hose. The passengers were equally startled by the sudden move One oML gentleman grabbed his carpet bag, rushed down the stairs three steps at a time and did not stop till he was safe on the wharf. The women passengers did not know what to make of it when they saw the -lifeboats going into the water. out before long the performance came to a close, the Government officials depart ed, and the Tone steamed down the river half an hour behind time. Visits Other Boats. Th Ruth, at Ash-street dock, was also boarded without notification, but all hands there showed the effect of the SOd discipline of the O. R. & N. Co. The boat was going down stream, so the Ad miral and the inspectors remained aboard and in few minutes were landed on the Joseph Kellogg, at Ainsworth dock. Admiral Kempffs wish to see the fire drill was complied with as soon as he .stepped on the deck. Hand trucks piled high with shingles were dropped where the men happened to be, the deckhands at v the mate's orders manned the hose and the pump was set going. Captain "Wes Vhltcemb dropped thp newspaper he was reading in the cabin and sprang to the deck, to And that the- boat was not on Are. At 5 o'clock the party climbed the gang plank on the steamer Oregon, and the Admiral a second time witnessed a tost of the fire hose and other apparatus o the vessel. That completed his first day's -work in Portland as special commission cr to investigate the steamboat inspection service. Admiral Kempft will remain in this 'district several weks, paying visits to Astoria. The Dalles and other points "When his work is finished here he will co to Pucet Sound. He is familiar with this country, as he had charge of this HgnthouBO district in 1S75 and 1S7G. with hoadquarters at Astoria. He returned to Portland in 1SSS. as first captain of the coast defense vessel Monterey, and, was here again in the following year, -lie is anxious to see the lxwis and Clark Ex position, and expects to visit it before he returns .ast. HAND ALIuOST GROUND TO PULP William J. Ruely Seriousy Injured In Standard Box Factory. . "VCtlllam J. Rucly. a young man living -ivttft his mother, Mrs. J. Ruely, at 34 Union avenue, north, employed as carpenter in the Standard Box Factory a the foot of East Ankcny street. met with an v accident yesterday afternoon by which his left hand was gnrnnd nearly into a pulp. While at work his hand caught In the gearing in the factory, and before It could be slopped the hand was crushed. Secre lary S. C. Cobb, of the company, im 'aiodlately took tne Injured man to th office of Dr. T. C. Humphrey. A hasty examination showed that there was no possibility of saving the hand, and with the assistance of Drs. Braden and Gray, It was amputated. Mr. Cobb said Ruely was one of the most valued and trustworthy em ployes and had been In the factory for net-oral years. His first thought, after hts mutilated hand had been released from the gear, was for his mother. "What will my poor mother do!" he ratio, as ho saw the terrible nature of xhc injury.

STATE'S HOME DONE Oregon Building at Exposition Finished, WILL BE KEPT OPEN TO ALL Attractive Structure Will Be Used by State Commission for Entertain mentWill Complete Califor nia Building This Week. Oregon's state building was com pleted yesterday, being the first state building to be finished at the Exposi tion. California is a close seeond, and before the end of the week the finish ing touches will have been put on. The Oregon State building is to be the home of the State Commission. The headquarters of the Commission will be moved from the Stearns building to-, morrow, and henceforth all exposition matters will be transacted on the Fair grounds, the corporation having occu pied the Administration building some weeks ago. In the Oregon building' all will be mde welcome, day and night. The place is built with the idea of being a haven of rest and a place for enter taining. All residents of Oregon will look' upon it as belonging to them, and they will be permitted to take their friends there and enjoy all the privi leges of the place.

It will be the headquarters, particularly, of women's clubs, al though all women will be made wel come by Mrs. Jefferson Myers, who Is too well known as a charming hostess to need any further notice here. No exhibits of any kind will be displayed in the building. The California building, which will come In a close second in the race for completion, will serve a double pur pose. It will house a portion of the California exhibits and contain several richly appointed rooms for entertain ing purposes. The grounds will be' made rarely beautiful with roses, palms and many kinds of subtropical plants. Two big flag-poles, each SO feet in length, will stand at either end of the building. These poles arrived yoster day from California. They are of Ore gon fir. WILD INDIAN TALE DISPELLED Grand Ronde Redskin Will Not Be Brought to Exposition. There has been undone another lurid tale of Indian life. It was concerning Amos Klllear, of the Grand Ronde res ervation. Some one communicated re cently with the State Commission that Amos had been romping around loose for a trifling period of 190 years and further more looked enough like an Egyptian mummy to claim relationship. It was suggested that Amos ought to be taken to the Exposition and placed in a wickiup in the Natural Park, where the cool zeph yrs might play about him as he sat In silent retrospection of the days when It was not thus. Admiring throngs might then fight the police in a wild effbrt to get a better view of him. But it was not to be so. The State Com mission learned a few more things about Amos, chief among them being that he is a mere boy. being less than 83 years old. and that many better mummies could be picked up on the crowded streets any day In the week. The tale was dispelled by Andrew Kershaw, superintendent of tho Grand Ronde Indian School, who looked the redskin up and Interviewed him.

COMPREHENSIVE DATA OF STATE What the Chamber of Commerce De sires to Obtain. The Chamber of Commerce has begun to build the foundation for the Informa tion Bureau which Is from this time on to be one of the features of the organiza tion. Yesterday afternoon letters were sent out to all of the newspapers of the state asking that each one devote a num ber to telling what was most needed In the district where the publication was lo cated. It Is desired by the Chamber that the papers devote a large space to a com prehensive write-up of the respective sec tions. telling of the advantages, of what can be found there in different lines and the need for other lines not represented. If any, the article to be as near as may be an encyclopedia of Information rela tlve to that particular part of the state. The Chamber, however, does not want colored or exaggerated articles, but plain and straightforward exposition of what can be found by a stranger visiting the place. These different articles will be gathered together and indexed so that any person coming to the Chamber for information can be pointed to the place most adapted to his peculiar needs and requirements These letters will be followed by others written to the County Judges of each county, asking for help along similar lines, while the commercial and Indus trial organizations of each town, wnere such exist, will be called upon for assist ance. The railroad companies will be pressed Into service and an effort made to have the agents instructed to gather and report data of all kinds from time to time. Pub Hc-splrlted citizens in all parts of the state will also be written to and asked to help In the work. It will be the purpose of the Chamber of Commerce not only to gather this In formation In as full measure as is possl ble, and to Index It so that all data can be readily found, but an especial effort will be made to keep what is gathered fresh and up-to-date, so as to be of the greatest possible use and benefit to those who come to the Chamber for assistance Miners Strike for Checkweighman.

Board of Horti culture Tell of Conditions and Suggest Various Changes to Aid the Industry. When the meeting was called of tho State . Board of Horticulture yesterday morning there were present the following Commissioners: E. L. Smith, of Hood j .reiver, presiaenc or tne ooara; vyiiDur tv. Newoll, Dllley; A. H. Carson, Grant's Pass, and Judd G-eer, Cove. R. H. Web er, of Tho Dalles, and Charles A. Park, of Salem, were unable to be in attend ance. The reports submitted bv the various Commissioners are decidedly optimistic' and all speak of the increased acreage and good outlook for this year's fruit crop. A. H. Carson, representing South- j ern Oregon, stated that tho acreage de- ; being rapidly increased, and In his opin ion that district would produce this year the largest fruit crop In Its history. W. K. Newell, of Dllley, Commissioner of the second district, spoke of the pres ent advantageous condition in his locality of the prune market and reported an in creasing Interest in walnut orchards. Judd Geer, of Cove. Union County, gave encouraging accounts of the fruit crop In his section and stated that he believed that there were more orchards planted in his district, the fifth, this year than ever before. With the exception of peaches In some localities he did not think that the cold weather had materially Injured the fruit. Big Increase in Apple Orchards. R. H. Weber, of The Dalles, while not present, sent in his report, which stated ; that the increase In apple acreage this season had been enormous, occasioned by the big demand for the fruit. E. L. Smith, Commlssloner-at-large and president of the board, presented an ex tensive report, in which attention was called to several matters of Importance to horticulturists. Among these the need of county inspectors, as provided by late legislation, Was urged. In this connec tion President Smith said: Gentlemen: In the Interests of our horti cultural industry and In the interest of the man who desires to raise sound fruit. I urge you to see that this new legislation is Riven a prompt and fair trial In Oregon. Hereto fore we have tried to educate our people, and have, to a large extent, succeeded. The re ports that have gone out from this board are second to none, but in the enforcement of Its wholesome provisions, our executive machin ery has been sadly lacking. I believe that you will see to it that none but qualified men are recommended for appointment as county Inspectors, and that the expense to the sev eral counties Is made as light as possible, consistent with our orchard Industry. The enforcement of our laws and regulations will wonderfully Increase the production of sound fruit and drive trashy, low grades out of sight. County Inspectors Law. I suggest that you visit the leading fruit growing counties of your respective districts and inform the growers of the provisions of tho county Inspectors law, In order that they may promptly file their petitions with your certificate of qualification with the County Court. The law provides that if any county falls to make appointment of an Inspector the Inspector of any adjacent county may perform the service requested of him at the county's expense. President Smith also gave his views on orchard preservation and spoke of the most effective methods of dealing with the codlln moth and other fruit pests. He 13 a lrm believer In the spray of arsenate of lead, and talked at length upon this subject. During the afternoon the members of the board visited the Fair grounds and will complete their session tfais morning with tho final disposal of a few matters of routine business.

I Mormon St, 6pp. the Post-Ofnce MAKERS &flEWyoRK HOW HE GOT BED OF HIS OBSTDTATS MUS0ULAE BHEUMATISM. Sir. Jones Tells of the "Way by "Which H Treated Himself Successfully When Doctors Palled. Six physicians, all of them good, one of them a specialist, had done their best for Mr. Jones at different times during three years, and still he suffered fear fully from the tortures of rheumatism. The rheumatism that had beep dor mant in his system was suddenly brought to an acute stage by exposure while he wa3 drawing ice iu February 1901. From that time on for a periotJ of more than three years he was a con stant sufferer. He tried many kinds of treatment, but tho rheumatism wouldn't budge. When regular doctors failed, and one remedy after another proved: useless, many said: "I should think ho would give it up and save his money." Of his condition at this time, Mr. Jones says: " My rheumatism started in my right thigh, but in time ic ap peared in every muscle of my body. I lost the use of my left arm eri tirely and nearly lost the use of my right one. My feet were badly affected especially the bottoms of the heels When my right side was affected there was swelling, but the left side didn't swell when the disease settled there The internal organs didn't seem 'to ba involved afcaH. 'The trouble was all inj the muscles and the nerves.' ' Among the few who still encourageo Mr. Jones to think that a cure mightt yet be found was a friend who had rea-t son for great confidence in Dr.Wil hams' Pink Plus, and acting on hej$ advice he bought a box of them in Sep tember, 1904. The story of what foLj lowed is brief, but nothing could more satisfactory. " When I was on the third bos," says' Mr, Jones, I could realize a change fox tho better. I felt sure then, that TtrS Williams' Pink Pills were the righi medicine for my case. I kept on vritiv jrtprm for several weeks longer and now I am entirely well, and everybody is asking what I took." Mr. William Jones lives at OxforcL Mich.
