The Bonanza is also in ballast from the
Bay City and will arrive In Portland

In addition to these mellow boats there
are a number of Britishers after lumber
charters and will carry the Oregon pro
ducts to the WeBt Coast. The W. F.

harbor of Honolulu in coal, bound for
Portland having put Into the Island port

as yet on the disengaged list and will no
doubt take a lumber charter as soon as
she arrives in the river.
The ships mentioned are all deep water
craft and will not carry nearly the car
goes that are carried on the modern
schooners and the cost of operating Is
greatly in excess of the fore-and-aft

In this tame class may be mentioned
the r. P. Cheney, the Elwell and the

about 20 feet and at first It was feared
that the man was dead. Two members
of the longshoremen's union have met
violent deaths during the past two
weeks.
Repairs to Santa Ana Soon Complete.
The steamship Santa Ana, now un
dergoing an overhauling at Seattle,
will be ready to sail for this port about
the middle of next week. The vessel
is under charter to the Inman-Poulsen
Lumber Company and will carry lum
ber to San Francisco. The Santa Ana
Is owned by the former owners of the
Excelsior, recently purchased by the
Portland Lumber Company. She was
formerly in -the Alaska trade, but Is
now being stripped of her passenger
accommodations and will be a first
class lumber carrier when she leaves
Seattle for the Columbia River. .
Steamer Iralda's Maiden Voyage.
The steamer Iralda returned yester
day from her maiden voyage to Rai
nier. She carried passengers and
freight and everything worked to the
entire satisfaction of the officers and
owners. A small amount of trouble
was experienced with the boilers and
the engines, but this is always to be
expected In a new boat. When things
are In good working order the new
boat will greatly exceed the old craft
in point of speed.

IRK IS BEARING FRUIT
RESULTS FROM OREGON DEVEL
OPMENT LEAGUE'S ACTIVITY.
T. B. Wilcox Discusses Present Ad
vancement in All Lines
Throughout Oregon.
Discussing the present advancement of
Oregon and the energy and enthusiasm
displayed by the commercial and in
dustrial bodies of the state In its de
velopment, Theodore B. Wilcox, president
of the Oregon Development League, said
yesterday :
"Never at any time-since the great In
itial meeting held at the Marquam Grand
Theater August 2 and 3, 1904, when thor
oughly representative men from all por
tions of the state were present, has the
Oregon Development League been so
active as at present. Thousands of in
quiries are being received from all sec
tions of the United States, and a large
majority of them are from farmers, as
is evidenced by the fact that they get
their mail through the rural free de
livery, and, what is still more convincing,
the tenor of the letters themselves they
are devoted almost entirely to general
farming, dairying, horticulture and stock
raising. "Inquiries are coming relative to the
logged-off lands, the possibilities of irriga
tion In Oregon are being sought, while
many desire to buy improved farms on
account of advantageous change of cli
mate. "During the present week $150 has been
spent In postage and from work already
laid out for the first two weeks in Jan
uary the postage bill will reach $300.
"The most gratifying, however, of all
news comes from many of the 63 organiz
ations which compose the Oregon De
velopment League and to whom the name
and address of every inquirer is being
forwarded.
"Dr. M. H. Ellis, president of the Al
bany Commercial Club, advises that Linn
County literature Is going to every ad
dress. Similar information comes from
H. L. Rann, president of the Junction
City 'Development League; President
Henry B. Thielsen, of the Salem Com
mercial Club; the Irrigation Fruit Com
pany, through President Miles and Sec
retary Kicker, gives a similar report;
Judge Thomas F. Ryan, secretary of the
Oregon City Board of Trade, Is person
ally conducting the correspondence; Hood
River is being heard from, and the same
Is true of Dayton, Corvallis, Klamath
Falls, Coos Bay, Eugene and many
others.
"This literature giving facts about Ore
gon Is going to the farmers at . a time
when they will have a chance to read it.
Repeatedly more than half the states of
the Union have been represented In the
mail In a Single delivery. In the work
of the central office at Portland it has
been necessary to add during the present
great rush three additional people.
"Letters about Oregon describing the
state in general and going into details
about our principal resources have ap
peared in hundreds of the best county
weeklies of the United States, papers
which are thoroughly read In the homes
of just such families as we want to add
to the population of Oregon.
"I would Just like to urge the people
of this state, throaVh their commercial
and industrial organizations, to double
up their work during the month of Janu
ary, for it is at that time of the year
when the delightful climate of Oregon
furnishes such a splendid comparison with
the other sections of the Middle West
and northern portions of the United
States."

to
RECLAIM THE WILDERNESS
Rev. Illrani Vrooman Outlines Pur
pose of Association of Which He
Is President Make Poor
Families Homebullders.
Rev. Hiram Vrooman, Ph. D., president
of the Co-Workers' Fraternity, of Bos
ton, Mass., who has made his home in
Portland for the past year, has drawn
plans for the building of a "co-operative
city with an Industrial college and uni
versity," to be located on a large tract
of yet undeveloped land, to be acquired
by purchase In Oregon. The object Is
to make It possible for families to be
come home builders, and afford their chil
dren opportunities for industrial and liter
ary education. It Is a project modeled
largely after the California Home Exten
sion Association organized In 1904, of
which J. S. Clark is the author. Dr.
Vrooman. as president of the Co-Workers'
Fraternity, of Boston, which la at
the back of the Oregon project, has given
the subject careful consideration. He
has also spent a year here in making in
vestigations, and concludes that what
J. S. Clarke has done in California can
be carried out In Oregon with even bet
ter success. He is a Harvard man and
belongs to a distinguished family of think
ers and is associated with prominent men
in Boston.
Outline of the Plan.
Dr. Vrooman, in an Interview yesterday,
outline the plan for the proposed co
operative city. He said:
Our plan provides for the purchase of a
vast tract of good, but undeveloped land
at the lowest bed-rock wholesale price
(fjom 20 to $40 per acre perhaps) located
in some strategic place In Oregon; and then
for the distribution of this land, in small
acreage farms and city lots, at the rate
of the original or wholesale price an acre,
to the first 1000 homeseekers who Join our
co-operative city club.
Club members, who are to be the first 1000
settlers,, will themselves receive the benefit
of the increase in the value of the land and
the city lots which they buy, which increase
will be due to their presence. A first small
payment on the purchase price at the time
of the general distribution of the land will
be sufficient, with very easy terms for the
balance; but each one will be obliged to put
certain permanent improvements upon his
homesite during the first and second years.
This secures the rapid development and in
crease In value of all the land.
A elty lot purchased at acre rates by a
club member at the rate, say, of J25 an acre
w-.uld stand him something less than $5,
whereas the city lots will be worth prob
ably from $100 to $500 at the time the first
small payment Is required. Each member,
however, is to pay $10 extra for every city
lot purchased, which win be a part of the
Income of the parent organization which
will be financing the enterprise. The acreage
tracts at the time of first payment will be
worth from about 200 to 500 per cent
more than their cost price to club members,
according to location.
Plan Has Been Tested.-
This part of our plan, which represents
the first steps to be taken, has already been
thoroughly tested and demonstrated as a
business success. J. S, Clark, of Los Angeles,
Cal., one of the stalwarts and pioneers In
the cause of Industrial co-operation, and
with whom I have worked in years gone by
In the same cause, Is the originator of this
general plan as thus far presented. Ouring
the past three years he bas succeeded in es
tablishing In Southern California three great
"home securing colonies, in each of which
a prosperous town, surrounded by several
hundred newly-established farm homes, has
been created within the period of one year.
In writing of two of these colonies Mr. "Clark
says: "These two great tracts of land, ag
gregating 10,000 acres, cost these home
seekers about $365,000. A careful estimate
of their present value, based on actual
sales made, shows them to be worth not
less than $1,450,000, or a net growth in
value of $1,085,000. This has taken place
before the second small payment Is due on
the land."
Agriculture with fruitralslng Is the basis
of the prosperity of these home-securing
colonies establshed by Mr. Clark. But our
co-operative city will have In addition to
this lumbering and co-operative manufactur
ing. . Larger Phase of. Plan.
Our co-operative city Is to have & strong
flnanrial company back of It to finance Its
development. The city will be platted with
reference to large and rapid growth. Streets
will be made broad, and reservations of land
made for public parks and buildings.' Every
precaution possible will be taken to provide
for the future beauty and healthfulness of
the city.
The Co-Workers' Fraternity, a college cor
poration of Boston, Mass., of which I am
president. Intends to establish an Industrial
college in the new city at its very begin
ning. A unversity Is to be established later.
This college will offer not only the best of
educational facilities for the whole commu
nity, but the college as an institution and
the professors as lndivduals wll make It
their declared purpose to apply the sciences
and learning to the constructive work of
building an ideal city which shall stand out
as an example and pioneer of economic prog
ress. The Co-Workers' Fraternity already con
trols and practically owns the largest co
operative department store in the United
States.
It Is not unlikely that this co-operative
city, with such an educational Institution in
its midst, can lead to far-reaching reforms
for the whole State of Oregon so that Ore
gon may become the New Zealand of the
United States.
"The name of this company is withheld
at the present for good reasons but Its ob
ject Is to finance the building of this co
operative city and to provide from its earn

ings the endowment for the university to be
established by the Co-Workers Fraternity.
Its Income will doubtless be large but It
will not come ,from any impoverishment of
or injustice to the club members or first
settlers. The club members receive the full
increase In the value of the land and lots
they buy. Whatever land and lots are left
over after the distribution the parent com
pany will retain and hence receive the
profit from them. It receives furthermore
$10 from every ekib member at the time
of his joining, which he pays to receive all
the privileges of a member. It will receive
furthermore $10 from every city lot pur
chased by club members or others. It will
have the opportunity of securing options on
lands adjoining the vast tract that it buys
for club members. It will probably estab
lish the first bank In the city and help mem
bers to make their payments on their land
and lota and help to finance the city water
works, electric lighting and power plants,
sewerage system, city gaa and things of that
character. It will probably build an elec
tric line to connect the city with some rail
road center or harbor. This parent com
pany., however, is to be controlled by the
Co-Workers' Fraternity and its net income
will belong to the fraternity for the work of
the Industrial College and the University.
Mill Issue Stock.
The parent company proposes to issue
common and preferred stock. Common stock
to the amount of $tO.00O will be the voting
stock and held In trust for the Co-Workers'
Fraternity. This will give the legal control
to a college Instead of to a stock company,
which college Is composed of men who stand
for the educational and ethical and human
itarian purposes of the enterprise. In addi
tion to this common stock It proposes to is
sue $00,000 of 7 per cent cumulative pre
ferred stock which it will offer for sale to
the public at once for the purpose-of rais
lnjc a part of its first working capital. Sevn
per cent cumulative preferred stock means
that the holder of any of this stock will re
ceive 7 per cent per annum on its par value
from Its date of Issue before the college
will receive a dollar from Its common stock.
The college, however, will receive all above
the 7 per cent paid on the preferred stock.
The first allotment of $..OflO of the 7 per
cent cumulative preferred stock can now be
subscribed for at 50 cents on the dollar.
This Is an exceptional opportunity for a
profit-making investment.
The first to invest in this stock receive
the advantage of this special low price. And
the first to become club members at $10 will
be given special privileges in the way of
having first choice of lots and farms.
Co-Workers Fraternity.
The fact 'that the control of the corpora
tion which Is to finance the building of this
co-operative city Is to be held In trust for
the Co-Workers Fraternity, Insures the in
tegrity of the reform and co-operative pur
poses of the enterprise. This Is true because
In the first place the laws which govern a
college are vastly different from those that
govern a stock company, and in the second
place the gentlemen who compose this col
lege are men whose lives stand for these
purposes and some of whom are men of in
ternational reputations.

Americanized Chinese
Is Given Divorce
Lrwla Moytr Snyn HI. Wife Took
$100 From Family Exchequer and
Eloped With Iceman.
LEWIS MOYER, Americanized Chinese,
dropped his American wife yester
day. He accomplished this end by due
process of law after the recital of a dole
ful tale of domestic infelicity In which
the iceman figured conspicuously.
Moyer keeps a little store in Albina
and once the hardest man in the world
to find was the iceman. Then things'
changed and Moyer could go home at
most any hour of the day and note the
ice wagon standing in front of his home.
Once his curiosity grew apace and he
peeped in the window. He observed that
his wife, while discussing- the price of
ice or some domestic subject of the sort
had inadvertently seated herself on the
iceman's knees.
He learned that the iceman's name was
Henry Schroeder, and then accused his
wife of harboring an affection for the
fellow. Mrs. Moyer admitted the gentle
impeachment, took $500 from the fam
ily treasury and eloped to Denver with
the Iceman. All of which was duly set
forth in the application for divorce.
The woman's own daughter and Moyer's
step-daughter, Alta Aloyer, took the
stand and testified against her mother.
At the conclusion of this showing Judge
Sears granted the divorce.

Women's Club Will Help Poor

CARD PARTY TO ASSIST
Portland Women Approve the Cause
and Appoint Committee to Ar
range for Entertainment for
Benefit of the Fund.
The Women's Club of Portland is pre
paring to make its donation to the. State
Educational Ixian Fund which the' clubs
of Oregon have decided to establish for
the benefit of poor girls, and at yester
day's meeting voted to give a mammoth
card party in the near future for this
purpose. As the Women's Club Is the
largest club in the State Federation it is
hoped by ita members that its contribu
tion to the general fund may be In keep
ing with its membership. The eduea-tional
fund will be permanent ani from it sums
will be loaned to deserving girls for edu
cational purposes, without interest. Mrs.
W. Wynn Johnson, president of the club,
appointed the following committee to ar
range for the benefit card party, and the
date will be announced, later: Mrs. P. J.
Mann, chairman; Mrs. I Samuel, Miss
Helen S'paulding. Mrs. Catherine Daly.
The club adopted a resolution endorsing
the proposed legislative bill of Represen
tative J. W. Beverldge for Introducing
free text books into the public schools
of Oregon. There was considerable dis
cussion over the question but not much
objection to the passage of the resolu
tion. A vote of thanks was tendered
Mayor T.ane who so promptly acted on
the resolution of the club several weeks
ago concerning the abolishment of the
slot machine nuisance, according to his
promise made the visiting committee.
The Musical Department of the Club,
Mrs. F. M. Branch, chairman, rendered a
charming musical programme' under the
direction of Mrs. J. S. Hamilton. A
chorus of ten voices rendered a number
of beautiful selections and there were
several contralto solos by Miss Leila
Johnson, who possesses a charming, fresh
voice. Miss Eva Benson's piano num
bers were also well rendered and deeply
appreciated. In addition to the musical
numbers there was a reading by Mrs. G.
W. Martin, whose interpretation of a
dialect selection entitled "The Puddin" "
showed marked oratorical ability.
It is seldom that the social committee
excels its effort of yesterday and the
table at which Mrs. James P. Moffett and
Mrs. Bert Denison served was most
artistically decorated. An immense cen
ter piece of green sword ferns was capped
by a hugh crimson Christmas bell and
the brass candelebra at the corners of
the table were capped with red shades.
Green and red ribbons were festooned
from the bell above, and the same color
scheme carried out in all the details of
the table. The light fixtures on the side
walls were treated with the same decora
tive scheme and the effect was artistic
and decidedly Christmassy. Mrs. Charles
Boss and her committee arranged the re
freshment room.

How to Fool a Lazy Liver
with Artificial Exercise
5 VERY serious Sickness has a small
-i beginning.
"" And, in nine cases out of ten,
that beginning is made In the
Bowels.
Constipation Is the beginning of most dis
eases. It paves the way for all others.
Lack of exercise, hasty eating, improper
food, are Its first causes.
Laziness, and postponement, permit it
to grow Into Chronic' Constipation, which
means life-long Discomfort.
It Isn't necessary to be sick-a-bed, you
know, in order to be mighty uncomfortable.
Even a slight indigestion affects the
nerves, dulls the mind, and obscures the
merry sunshine of Life.
The time to adjust the Bowels is the very
minute you suspect they need adjustment.
If your tongue is slightly coated,
If your breath is under suspicion,
If your head feels a trifle heavy or dull,
If digestion seems even a little slow,
If Heartburn, Belching, Collo or Rest
lessness begin to show themselves,
That's the time to eat a Cascaret.
It acts as pleasantly as It tastes. Itisaa
congenial to your Bowels as it is to your
Palate.
1 It stimulates the muscular lining of the
Bowels and Intestines, so that they mechani
cally extract nourishment from the food and
drive out the waste.
The only way to have Cascarets ready to
I use precisely when you need them is to
carry them constantly in your pocket, as
you do a Watch or a Lead pencil. '
The ten cent box of Cascarets ts made
thin, flat, round-edged, and small, for this
precise purpose.
Be very careful to get the genuine, made
only by the Sterling Remedy Company and
never sold in bulk. Every tablet stamped

TORTURED BY
ITCHING SCALP
Eczema Broke Out Also on Hands
and Limbs '-Suffering Intense
Doctors Said Too Old to Be
Cured -An Old Soldier of 80
Years Declares:
"CUTICURA TREATMENT
IS A BLESSING"
"At all times and to a& people I am
willing to testify to the merits of Cu
ticura. It saved m from worse than
the tortures of hades, about the year
1900, with itching on my scalp and
temples, and afterwardB it commenced
to break out on my bands. Then it
broke out on my limbs. I was advised
to use salt and water, which I did, to
no effect. I then went to a Surgeon, whf
commenced treating me with a wash of
borax. This treatment did me no good,
but rather aggravated the disease. I
then told him I would go and see a phy
sician in Erie. The reply was that I
could go anywhere, but a case of
ecaema like mine could not be cured;
that I was too old (80). I went to an
eminent doctor in the city of Erie and
treated with him for six months, with
Eke results. I bad read of the Cu
ticura Remedies often. I was strongly
tempted to give them a trial, so I sent
for the Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and
Resolvent and continued taking the
Resolvent until I bad taken six bottles,,
stopping it to take the Pills. I was now
getting better. I took two baths a day,
and at night I let the Idther of the Soap
dry on. I used the Ointment with
great effect after washing in warm
water, to etop the itching at once. I
am now cured.
"The Cuticura treatment is a blessing
and should be used by every one who
has itching of the skin. I can't say any
more, and thank God that He has given
the world such a curative. You can
use this letter as you please. A very
much befriended man, Wm. H. Gray,
3303 Mt. Vernon St., Philadelphia, Pa.,
August 2, 1905."
