DETERMINED NOT TO SAIL Lunibcr-Ladcn Vessel lias Percepti ble JAst to Starboard, but Is Declared to Be Perfectly Seaworthy. Praying from the bottom of tholr hearts that the tvind may increase in volocity nnd drive the vessel on the beach or against one of the docks that line the water front, the crew of the Brltifh ship Eskasoni is huddled together in the forecastle more determined than ever to refuse to ko to fen. The vessel has dragged thr?e sblp'a lengths since her xnohors wore dropped last Friday, and is swinging dangerously n-ur shore with the wind from the cast. She got In front of the lowor Albina ferry slip yesterday and In order to land the ferry had to make a big semi-circle around the wind jammer. Captain Bobortson. of the ferry, com plained to Harbormaster Blglln and the lattor in turn notified Captain McBurney. of the Eskasoni. to get the vessel out of the way; but the skipper said he prac tically had no crew and was helpless. Thus the matter stood last night, and there is no telling how soon the difflculty will be settled unless the sailor boarding liouso raon send new men on board to juke the places of the "stiffs." Unfortunately for the sailor boarding house mon and Captain McBurney, a number of the men refusing to go to sea re American citizens, which would make the skipper liable should he attempt to make thorn go against their wish. It Is ild that outside assistance will be given these men and that their cases will be "brought Into court if their release can be secured in no othor way. A consultation was held on the fore castle head yesterday at noon by the Millors and they decided, so it is under ftood from what transpired later in the day. to take the desperate chance of overpowering the armed watchman and leaping overboard onto the apron of the ferry when she swung past in making her West Side landing.

The wutchman discovered the game In time, however, and after that the men were seen on the deck no more except In company with those keeping guard. The Eskasoni has a list to starboard, but Is said to be perfectly seaworthy for nil of that. To the average landlubber, liowevcr, she might appear risky, al though sailors assert that a slight list need not indicate danger of capsizing. t'aptain McBurney Is In a quandary, and yesterday afternoon held a long con sultation with the boarding-house men nd his agents. The Eskasoni Is bound for Manila and has 'been ready to start awtward for several days but for the troublo with the crew. PULITZER 3X)SES HER CREW Pilot Schooner Is Unable to Put to Sea After Getting Supplies. ASTORIA. Or., March 13. (Special.) The regular monthly meeting of the State Board of Pilot Commissioners wan held here this afternoon with every member present. After the transaction of the routine business, a report was presented showing that the pilot schooner Joseph Pulitzer came in side on March 7 and had not yet crossed out to her station off the mouth of the river. The matter was discussed at length and the commissioners were unani mously of the opinion that the schoon er had been Inside far too long for the best interests of the service and longer than was necessary. Accordingly, an order was made directing that the state pilot schooner San Jose bo pre pared so as to go to sea on short no tice. Chairman Pendleton, of the board, was directed to put a force of men at work on the San Jose tomorrow morn ing and he expects to have her ready for sea within two or three days. The secretary of tho pilots' associa tion, "was before the board and stated that the reason the Pulitzer had not gone to sea before was because she is short part of her crew, all the mem bers with the exception of the boat keeper having left tho vessel, when she arrived inside. The commissioners also discussed tho question whether or not the number of pilots on the bar is commensurate with .the needs of the commerce entering and departing from the river, but no action was taken."

SEEK THE TRAFFIC Seventeen Railway Agents Are After Twelve Soldiers. LINES COMPETE FOR TRADE Tlenrcscntatl'vcs of the Roads Flock to Walla "Walla, "Where Terms of the Troopers Enlistments Are Expiring. Probably Walla Walla, Wash., has seen but few such gatherings of passenger men as have been there for the past week, each intent on securing business among the troopers of the Fourteenth Cavalry, whose terms of cnjlstmcnt have expired and who Intend making trips to their homes at different points In the East. Nearly 200 soldiers will be dla charged by June, and each week sees a number of men paid off by the Govern ment. During the week ending Saturday 43 members of the troop were discharged. Twelve Soldiers, Seventeen Agents. On Saturday 12 soldiers were given their discharges and paid off. and 17 railroad men were, on hand to sell them tickets. Seeing that this was something less than one soldier to each passenger agent, com petition among the ticket-sellers was keen. Xot more than six soldiers were in the market for tickets to points cast of the Missouri River, while a dozen men representing roads In that territory were on hand td take care of travelers. "Cab rides, cigars and drinks were dls pensed by the agents with a liberal hand," said a railroad man who was there, "ana naturally the soldiers pursued their own advantage and reserved their decision as to the route they would fol low up to the last possible minute. Each passenger agent was put on his mettle to get the business in the face of such sharp competition, and the result was the swell ing of expense accounts. As soon as a soldier made up his mind which line he wanted to travel over and parted with the requisite coin, the agents dropped him like a hot potato and wasted no more time or drinks on that one, but hunted up another prospective iarehaser." Agents Returning Home. Most of the agents returned home yes terday, after having been delayed by sand storms on the O. R. & X. Among the passenger men at Walla Walla who were In the light for the business were: J. W. Casey. F. Miller. Chicago. Mtlwau kee & St. Paul: J. H. O'Neill and W. Haynes. O. R. & X.: E. F. Balrd and R.

Holder and C J. Gray, of the Northwestern, were In Walla Walla on other business at the same time. Representatives of the various lines claim they were well re paid fcr their efforts In securing their share of the business. 7 TWO RAIIAVAY 31 EX RESIGN A. IL McDonald and JI. W. Goddard Going Into Other Businesses. Two important changes In officials on Railroad Row were given out yesterday. A. II. McDonald, general agent ror the Rock Island and Frisco systems, tendered his resignation, to become effective imme diately, nnd H. . Goddard. assistant general agent of the Burlington, has re signed, his retirement to become effective April 1. Mr. McDonald will devote ms time to mining properties in Mexico In which ho Is interested, and will probably leave for the South In . short time. He has been the head of the 'Rock Island office for the past year, coming here from Little Rock. Ark. TJ E. Wallace, traveling freight agent for the Rock Island, has been appointed general agent temporarily until a permanent appointment Is made. Mr. Goddard retires from railroading to give more of his time to the Oregon Auto Dispatch Company, of which he is presi dent. It Is the Intention of the company to increase Its service and to purchase drays and horses to supplement the auto mobiles already in service. The horses will be used on unimproved streets throughout the cltj where travel by the heavy freight autos Is Impracticable. Mr. Goddard has been with the Bur lington in Portland for the post ten years, and has been prominent in local railroad circles since 1S7S. His retire ment from the ranks will be regretted by Portland railroad men. No succcHor to Mr. Goddard can now be named. TRAINS NOW RUN ON TI31E Snow and Sand Blockade on O. R. & X. Is Overcome. Trains over the Oregon Railroad & Nav igation Company's lines are again on time. notwithstanding the ordeal of the past few days, when sand and snow storms combined to block the wheels. Tester- day morning's train did not reach Port land until 1 o'clock In the afternoon, and No. 1. due last evening at 525. was de layed eight hours in reaching Portland. Delay of the latter was not due to any difficulties on the Oregon divisions, how ever, as it was not delivered at the state line by the Oregon Short Line on time. Reports received at the head offices of the O. R. & N. indicate that the storm conditions have subsided all along the Southern Pacific and O. R. & N. lines. and no further difficulties are looked for. General Superintendent M. J. Buckley, of the Harriman lines, was caught in the storm while returning from an inspection of the Washington lines, and D. W. Camp bell. superintendent or tno o. B, & x.. went up the line to superintend the work for the raising of the blockade. Probably the -severest dlfflcultv was experienced along Snake River. The line was blockaded for about 24 hours so that trains could not pass, both sand and snow being piled on the track. Tester- day word was received that the route was again clear, and trains proceeded as usual. CONFERENCE ON BRIDGE. Hill Men and Port of Portland Will Meet. The conference between the officials of the Portland & Seattle Railroad and coun sel for the Port of Portland, when the conditions required in the cobs miction of the Willamette bridge will be made known officially to the railroad men, will take place some time today, instead of yesterday, as first planned. Although President Levey, of the Portland &. Seat tle, was In towa all day. J. G. Wood worth, traffic manager f the Great Xerthent, did et arrive until fete last aigrkt, havlsg been delayed by Lite trains In reaching Portland. The conditions to be met by the Port land Sz Seattle are said to be In the main what have already been printed, but de tails remain to be settled, and. until an nounced officially, the railroad men de cline to discuss them. If these' stipula tions arc acceptable to the railroad, plans of tho bridge will be filed with the Secre tary of War. and. upon his approval of them, construction of the bridge will bo commenced. Emigrating to Alberta. Large parties arc passing through Tort land en route to tho Canadian Northwest, whore they Intend to take up land and settle. Fifteen emigrants arrived on the Roanoke Monday from Eureka. Cal., and 23 more came in last night on the Alli ance, from dlffcrcnC points in Northern California, all bound for various sections of Alberta. Those In the party arriving yesterday state that If the. Alberta coun try Is what they expect It Is. 000 more settlers will fnllnv them f mm Northern California, Their reasons for making the change In residence are the cheapness of iana in Canada and the increase in values around Eureka, where the land runs from an acre up. Equally as good land, they arc told, can be bought In Alberta for from $3 to $10 an acre. This move ment of settlers is the result of work being done by the local Canadian Pacific Reduced Fares to I.

On the contrary, if the nerves are relieved or this weakening influence, the at tacks will be less frequent, and finally disappear altogether. Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills contain no opium, cocaine, mor phine or chloral in any form. They are absolutely harmless if taken as directed, and will have no other effect, except to drive out the pain. "Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills are. all right, and 1 can recommend them to any one la need of a remedy for head ache, neuralgia, or pain of any kind. My health Is not very good, and I am subject to frequent attacks of severe headache, but since 1 began taking Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills I do not suffer from that trouble as I used to. They never fall to give relief in a few minutes, and If taken prompUy on tho approach of headache will prevent an attack from coming on. Pain Pills prevent, as well as cure." MRS. WM. PEDR1CK. Gloversvllle. N. T. Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills are sold by your druggist, who will guarantse that the first package will benefit. If It falls he will return your money. 25 doses, 25 cents.
