STEAMER ELDER
OFF DRY DOCK
Long Submerged Vessel Suc
cessfully Repaired and
.Afloat Again.
JCRAFI WILL BE REFITTED
.After Completion of Minor Repairs
the Elder Will Be Brought to
Portland to Be Refitted
for San Pedro Run.
After being out of commission for over
ftl months, 18 of which were ppent par
tially submerged on a sunken rock In the
Columbia River at a point opposite Gobel,
Or., the steamer George W. Elder was
Fuceessfully launched from the Port of
Portland drydock at St. Johns apparently
bs safe and sound as when first built.
On May 22 last Captain W. H. Baker
' end his crew of Lake Michigan wreckers
successfully floated the Elder from the
minken reef on which she lay and the
long-stranded vessel was towed to the
drydock several days later and when
placed on the pontoons the work of re
pairing her was Inaugurated.
On several occasions during the past
nix weeks It had been announced that
the vessel, would be launched shortly, but
delays experienced In getting material to
the drydock caused the postponement un
til yesterday, when everything was made
ready for the floating of the craft, and
mt 10 o'clock the long Idle ship was sent
into the watprp of the Willamette.
The task of floating and repairing the
Elder has been an expensive one, and
when the vessel is finally prepared to go
Into commission she will have cost her
present owners close to $125,000, and it is
possible that this sum may be Increased
before the final outfitting Is completed.
Pluck and perseverance are responsi
ble for the vessel being afloat at the
present time, for Owner Peterson, after
purchasing the hulk from the underwrit
ers for $10,000 insisted that It was possi
ble to rate her and make a serviceable
craft out of her and continued his efforts
to raise the vessel from the rocks in tha
face of the opposition of his friends, who
advised him repeatedly to sell the craft
ior Junk. By a deal of that kind It is
claimed that Peterson could have cleaned
tip at least $10,000, and many water front
authorities declare he will now come out
loser.
When the steamer Is ready for com
mission she will have oil-burning fur
naces and will be fitted as luxuriously aa
any liner playing along the Pacific Coast.
All of this work yet remains to be done,
and the accomplishment of the task will
require all of several weeks, and accord
ing to the owner of the vessel she will
not be ready for commission much De
lore November 1.
It will require four or five days' labor
on the vessel storing timbers and repair
ing her decks before he will be ready
to be taken up to Martin's dock, where
the finishing touches of her repairs will
probably be made.
J. H. Peterson states that he intends
to spare no expense In refitting the
steamer and that when she is ready to
rail from this city she will be a veritable
floating palace.
The run selected for the vessel's first
voyage Is to be the same route covered
by the steamer Roanoke, of the North
Pacific Steamship Company, which con
cern will have the operation ?f the Elder
In charge.
The Portland, San Pedro and way port
run Is a profitable route, for the lone
vessel now on the mn has often had
to refuse freight for the Southern port,
end the agents of the line are heartily
pleased to have a vessel like the Elder
at their disposal.
TO COMMAND THE COLUMBIA
Captain Doran, of Barracouta, to
Resume Charge of Palatial Iilner.
When the steamer Barracouta, of
the San Francisco & Portland Steam
ship Company's line, reaches San Fran
cisco after leaving Portland on the
present voyage, she will probably bo
laid off tor one trip in order to be
placed on .the drydock for a thorough
overhauling.
It is seml-officlally reported that her
officers and crew are to be transferred
to the steamer Columbia, the repairs to
'which are almost completed. This pa
ilatial' vessel will shortly be added to
the fleet plying out of the local har
bor in the interest of the Harrlman sys
tem, and when she goes Into commis
lon passenger traffic between the two
cities will bo resumed.
The Columbia was considerably dam
aged by overturning in the drydock at
San Francisco at the time of the earth
quake and has been undergoing repairs
ever since. She is by long odds the fin
est craft the Harrlman system has
ever sent to this port and will prove
a. popular acquisition to the service,
and will be tho only real passenger
steamer on tho route.
Rumors to the effect that the steam
ship Aztec was to be taken off the run
were set at rest yesterday when Agent
Uewson announced that she would be
continued in the service as long as the
trade warranted her operation. This
means that she will continue to -call
here for some time for there will be
plenty of business to keep her and the
other vessels of the fleet busy for the
entire Winter.
Cnptain Doran, of the Barracouta, is
to have his old command on the Co
lumbia as soon as she Is ready for
operation and in all probability will
take nis entire crew with him as per
manent adjuncts to his old command.
The Barracouta is scheduled to sail
Friday evening and will have a full
cargo of freight for the outward voy
age. She brought one of the largest
cargoes since her operation on the run
en her la?t trip up from Sat Francisco,
end in the future all the Coast vessels
expect full cargoes from the Bay City
tip, as tho freight congestion at that
place is commencing to be relieved.
CASE TP TO GOVERNMENT
Harbormaster Decides to Postpone
Action Against Gas Company.
On the assurance of President C. F.
Adams and the plea that the superintend
ent of the Portland Gas Company's dock
had but recently assumed charge of the
works at the foot of Flanders street.
Harbormaster Blglln decided to postpone
taking action against the corporation for
allowing waste oil to accumulate on the
waters of the Willamette River beneath
. the dock.
The Gas Company expressed its inten-'
tion to remedy the defect at once and to
rectify any damage done by its waste
pipe. J. IT. McDonald succeeded W. 8.
Dole as superintendent of the gas works
about one month ago and was not
thoroughly cognizant of the workings of
the plant when Informed by the harbor
master of the violation of the law.
In case the offense Is continued the
harbormaster will proceed against the
corporation.
Just what action will be taken by the
United States Engineers would not be
announced yesterday by Colonel Roessler,
who will probably arrive, at some definite
decision in the next few days.
As a city offense the maximum penalty
Is only $250 and the minimum $5, but as
a Government case the supreme penalty
to be enacted constitutes a fine of $2000,
and the local authorities would rather
make it a Government case than take
action at the present time.
Harbormaster Blglln yesterday notified
D. C. O'Reilly to remove the sunken
barge from a point below the Steel Bridge
within 48 hours, and unless he compiles,
proceedings will be Instituted against him
and the Oregon Round Lumber Company,
which owns the derelict craft.

GOODBY TO OR. HILL
Ministerial Association Gives
Banquet in His Honor. .
ONE OF SPEAKERS FAINTS
C. A. Toster, of Federated Trades,
Overcome With Emotion Dr.
Hill Pays Ills Respects to
Portland Newspapers.
Overcome with emotion while mak
ing an appeal to the Portland ministry
to assist the laboring element in the
bettering ol social and Industrial con
ditions, C. A, Foster, a representative
of the Federated Trades Council, faint
ed at the farewell banquet given last
night at the Hotel Portland by the Min
isterial Association In honor of Dr. and
Mrs. Edgar P. Hill. Mr. Foster fell
across the table and then to the floor
and It was several minutes before he
recovered sufficiently to be taken away.
Dr. Hill represented the Ministerial
Association in- the Federated Trades
Council and Mr. Foster had been dele
gated to speak on behalf of that body
at the farewell banquet.
"Labor and the church should have a
better understanding," declared Fos
ter, In words charged with the deepest
sincerity and feeling. "We urge that
you assist us. I believe that the day is
not far distant when the labor unions
and the Ministerial Association will
create some sort of a civic federation to
express their ,wlll In matters which per
tain to industrialism. The ministers
stand for what it right. The. unions
stand for what is right. Why can't we
come together?"
When Mr. Foster had concluded he was
seen to stagger and he grasped the table
for support. He had been fairly carried
away with the enthusiasm of the moment
and the reaction to his nervous system
was too severe. He collapsed and Dr. C.
A. Macrum, who resides at the Hotel
Portland, was hastily summoned. He re
mained under the physician's care for
fully an hour before he regained his
strength.
Dr. Hill leaves next Tuesday for Chi
cago to become professor of Homlletlcs
and Applied Christianity at the McCor
mack Seminary, Chicago. The banquet
last night was attended by about 50 of
the ministers who have been associated
with Dr. Hill in the ministerial work of
Portland, together with their wives and
friends of Mrs. Hill. Rev. J. F. Ghormley
presided, but the address on behalf of
the association was delivered by Dr. ii. L.
House.
"Here in this great center of greed and
gain," said Dr. House, "where mammon
threatens to master men, where youth Is
charmed by the glitter of high life, where
materialism threatens to eclipse the hid
den things of the soul, you have stood for
ten years or more urging that life Is
more than meat, ideals greater than
greed, character more than money. You
may be sure that you have written your
personality on the life and character
of this great and growing metropolis.
Dr. House, aa well as the others who
delivered addresses, spoke most highly of
Mrs. Hill, declaring that the good work
accomplished by Dr. Hill and the suc
cess attained by him was partly due to
the Influence of her noble character. Dr.
Henry Marcotte responded on behalf of
the Portland presc-ytery.
Dr. Hill, when he arose to respond to
the kind words uttered remarked that he
would miss many things when he left
Portland among them. Mount Hood, Bull
Run water and the Portland newspapers.
He spoke the last word with sarcasm.
He then bitterly commented upon certain
unpleasant features of his stay In Port
land. He remarked that during his 11
years in this city scarcely a kindly or a
pleasant word had been spoken of him
by the Portland newspapers. He said
that whenever they had mentioned his
name It was with a sneer.
He spoke feelingly of his departure from
Portland and from the pastorate. But
.he declared that the time had come when
one from the West should go back to the
Eastern theological seminaries to ex
plain some things to the young men which
they otherwise would not know. He said
they needed some of the Western spirit.
He expressed the belief that the Ameri
can pulpit was the hope of America.
Dr. Ghormley proposed a toast of Bull
Run water to Dr. Hill, which was drunk
standing, all Joined together and - sang
the last verse of "God Be With ' You
Until We Meet Again," the benediction
was pronounced by Rev. Frank M. Fisher
and the Portland Ministerial Association
had expressed farewell to Dr. and Mrs.
Hill.
Dr. and Mrs. Hill, Dr.- and Mrs.
Brougher and the speakers and their
wives sat at one table. There were no
decorations outside those on the tables
except hops which hung In profuse quan
tities from the walls. The hops were not
on the schedule but they were part of
the decorations of the dining room for
the 'regular dinner and they had not been
removed for the banquet.

KLEIN SCENTS BURGLARS
After Two Men Escape, He Finds
Others Sleeping In Empty House.
J. A. Klein, who lives at 681 East Eighth
street, had a thrilling experience early
this morning with what he thought were
four burglars who attempted to enter his
house. .
Klein Is building a house and lives with
his wife in a tent at the back. About 2
o'clock this morning he was awakened by
a noise outside. Hastily arming himself
with a gun, he rushed out and saw two
men sneaking away in the darkness. He
ordered them to halt or he would shoot.
One of the men asked Klein not to shoot,
all the time backing away from him
toward the empty lot on one side of the
house.
Klein covered the two with his revolver
and asked them their business. The men
said they came to sleep In the house.
Klein did not believe this story and told
them to go back Into the house while
he phoned to the police. AsKlein turned
his back the men succeeded In escaping
In the darkness. Still with gun In hand
Klein went into the house to see what
the men had taken and there in one room
found two more men, sound asleep. "With
out waking them Klein telephoned to the
police station and Captain Bailey sent
the patrol wagon with Officers Wendorf
and Gruber to the scene to take the
supposed burglars to the station.
On arriving the officers found the two
men sitting In one corner of the room
and Klein in another corner, covering
the two men with his revolver. The men
said they had just come to town and,
not having any money, went Into the
empty house for a night's sleep. They
were locked up In the City Jail until
the police authorities make a further In
vestigation of the case.

0. R. & N. GIVES UP
Will Withdraw Application for
Franchise on East Third.
YIELDS TO POPULAR WILL
Railroad Decides Public Opinion Is
. Too Strong to Be Withstood.
Action Will Put End
to Controversy.
Announcement was made last night at
the meeting of the East. Side Improve
ment Association that the O. R. & N.
had decided to withdraw; Its application
for a franchise on East Third street
from the Council. As the Council meets
this afternoon when In the regular course
of events It would come up for a vote
on the Mayor's veto of the franchise It
will probably be withdrawn this morn
ing. , ' .
Realizing that opposition on the part
of the public to the granting of the fran
chise In Its present form was too strong
the O. R. & N. has decided to let the
matter drop. While It was not generally
expected that the franchise would ever
become a law the announcement of the
Intention of the railroad company comes
In the nature of a surprise.
The railroad company has encountered
widespread and determined opposition and
received but little support since the in
ception of the franchise scheme. That
the Council passed it without making
drastic amendments was a surprise. It
made but few and insignificant changes
in the measure as originally submitted
by the railroad company.
For several days those who have been
leading the fight against the franchise
have contended that there was not a
sufficient majority in the Council to pass
the measure over the Mayor's veto. De
velopments seem to bear out the truth
of these contentions. To pass it over the
veto would require 12 votes.
Then If the measure had been passed
despite the official disapproval of the
Mayor the chances are that the referen
dum would be Invoked. The Initiative
One Hundred has delivered the ultimatum
that If the Council pursued this course
that the question would be submitted
to a vote of the people'at the next June
election. The Federated Trades Council,
Mount Tabor Improvement Association
and the Montavilla Board of Trade are
all on record as opposed to the fran
chise. In the face of all this opposition It
was believed that the railroad company
would agree to a compromise. If the
common users' clause had been inserted
and provision made so that the city as
a whole and not the property owners in
the vicinity of the East Third-street fill
would receive the bulk of compensation
the opinion is general that the railroad
company would not have met such vig
orous opposition.
The franchise would give the O. R. &
N. the exclusive privilege to ODerate
upon East Third street for a period of
Z5 years. As this street is regarded the
most feasible entrance to the city now
unoccupied it was held that it would
prevent other companies from entering.
Then there was remonstrance against
the city receiving but a nominal consid
eration of ISO per annum for the use of
the street. The company would have to
make the East Third-street fill, which
would coBt all the way from 150,000 to
J60.000, but the property owners would
be the only ones benefited.
Practically the only direct support of
the measure outside of that the railroad
company came from the East Side Im
provement Association and the Portland
Realty Board. A delegation of the prop
erty owners called upon the Mayor and
asked him to sign the ordinance, but
Monday despite all protests and influ
ences he vetoed the measure just as ex
pected. Mllwaukle Country Club.

ESTABLISHED 25 YEARS IX PORTLAND
A TRULY IDEAL WIFE
HER HUSBAND'S BEST HELPER
Vigorous Health Is the Great Source ol
Power to Inspire and Encourage
All Women Should Beak Is.
One of tne most noted, successful and
richest men of this century, in a recent
article, has said, " Whatever I am and
whatever success I have attained in
this world I owe all to my wife. From
the day I first knew her she has been
an inspiration, and the greatest help
Kate of my life."
To be) such a successful wife, to re
tain the love and admiration of her
husband, to inspire him to make the
most of himself, should be a woman's
constant study.
If a woman finds that her energies
are flagging', that she gets easily tired,
dark shadows appear under her eyes,
she has backache, headaches, bearing
down pains, nervousness, irregularities
or the blues, she should start at once
to build up her system by a tonic with
specific powers, such as Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound.
Following we publish by request a
letter from a young wife :
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
' Ever since my child wag born I have suf
fered, as I hope few women ever have, with in
flammation, female weakness, bearing -down
pains, backache and wretched headaches. It
affected my stomach so I could not enjoy my
meals, and half my time was spent in bed.
" Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
made me a well woman, and I feel so grateful
that I am glad to write and tell you of my
marvelous recovery. It brought me health,
new life and vitality." Mrs. Bessie Ainsley,
611 South 10th Street, Taooma, Wash.
What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound did for Mrs. Ainsley it will
do for every sick and ailing woman.
If you have symptoms you don't un
derstand write to Mrs. Pinkham,
daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham,
at Lynn, Mass. Her advice is free and
always helpful.
