OIL SUPPLY IS LACKING
XInllroadH Are Unable to Get Suffi-
c'lcnt Oil In California, While
Conl at Winter Prices
Is Exiwnsive.
The prevailing fuel famine is threatenr
iiiK the Oregon railroads and there is
Fiifrl tf be d an cer that traf ns may be
:opprd unions ful i forthcoming. The
T I arrlma n line fire so snort of oil and
coal that a purchase of wo tons of coai
was made in Portland yesterday at a
Vfrj- rifarh price with which to fire loco
rmotfres. The shortaBe of fuel on the Southern
Pacific lines is so pronounced mat an
ombarifo has aaln been placed on ship
ments -of lumber from Oregro n mills to
'allfornla arul will not- be rained until
KRiirances are received pT a larger sup-
ri, of fuel. H is said either oil, coal

-would be nufTlclent to lift the embargo,
'tout the railroad management 1 at a. loss
td KnOW Where these supplies are cominf;
from. The roal purchased yesterday will
liolp to some extent, but this quantity is
ns but a drop in the bucket compared
-with what is needed.
The price paid for the coal is not made
Tinbllo. but it I said it was far above
what is considered normal. The fact that
the Harrlmnn lines would make sucli a
large purchase here at exorbitant prices
shows the shortage on the line arid tha
apparent impossibility of grettlne new sup
liea from the oompn-"s mines.
There In danxer that the oil used on
locomotives o( the 0. R. & . and South
ern Pacific may fail. Difficulties are be-
ItiK encountered by the two companies in
rettlnjr llaiitcl fuel In nufttolent supply
from tlie California oil fluids. Although
the Harriman lines in this state nave
rnntraets with the oil companies to be
supplied with stated amounts of otl. which
1m Khtppocl , here by water to the Ports
mouth tanks, the railroads have been un
able of late to get their usual supplies
In thin way and have been forced to
hip the fuel here in tank cars from the
California oil fields. ,
This makes the fuel supply uncertain
and expensive. A number of tank cars
nre comlnR alonsr dally from California.
tut the supply is only sufficient to keep
locomotives fn commission and it may fail
ht any time. This shortage in the oil
supply Is one of tbe reasons why the
1 Mr-Re purchase of coal was made yester
day. "While coat cannot be burned In
locomotives fitted with oil-burning fur
naces, there are many locomotives In the
service of the Harriman lines which an
aatlll bumlnK coal, and If neceswary these
engines could take the place of oil-burn-
m. This would undoubtedly be the so
lution of the problem If the oil supply
fails.
The apprehension of the managers of
the Harriman lines is shown by the pur
chase of expensive coal fuel for locomo
tive use. little profit remains for the
railroad when hle-h-priced coal is used to
steam locomotives for low-grade freight
hauling. When this expensive fuel Is
used hi hauling lumber cars from Port-
'land to the Missouri River, traffic which
is carried for one-half a cent a ton per
mile, tne earnings are likely to be very
nuich cut down on that closs of tonnage.

New York; Has Influenza..
NEW YORK. Jan. 9. Influenza Is i
jnost epidemic In thia city. Within the
last ten days It has spread rapidly. Phy
pic lan s generally believe that the nniea
Konablo weathrr which baa prevailed oi
late has helped to spread the dlseaae. Re-
jwrta tabulated yesterday in the Health
Department's " bureau of vital statistics
dhow that lsmt week th. deaths In this
city from Influenza rose from 8 to 33 in
the week ending Decenroer 29.
That Influenza Invariably increases the
mortality from bronchial troubles is
again demonstrated by the fact that the
deaths attributed to bronchitis last week
numbered 35, against 28 for the preceding
week, and that the deaths from pneu
monia and bronchial pneumonia increased
from 232 In the week ending December
22, to 368 last week. The disease la par
ticularly prevalent in Brooklyn.

Using this fact as an argument tor vaccina
tion, and all England was pointing to Prussia
as some now point to Germany) as a well
accinated and. therefore thorougrily protected
country.
But what happened when the time or trim
came, and smallpox broke out in Europe-?
I will Quote Sir John's own words (Report to
local Government Board. 1KTS.) after the epi
demic:
"FrUfiflla was, after France, the flirt con
tinental slate to feel the force of the epidemic,
the smalllpox death rate In 1871 risinpr to
3. 4-30 per ml 1 lion . or n early twice the rate of
EnKland for the name year."
And in all Germany, with the oldest vac

And that le one (treat fact that led to the
Britten Royal Commission on A'acclnatton, and
finally the repeal of the compulry VftOOlna-

The Swedish statistic for lOO yeara are
before me. and could I present them In your

showing against, rather than In favor of vac-

patient -not made by the men whose bupi-

the quibble, "euccef ully vaccinated, for It
ifl "unsuccessful vaccination" that develops
later Into smallpox In many case, and. there
fore. It to Important to state that the
had been vaccinated that Is. inoculated with
vaccine virus." I have agisted in such iu-
veatleations, and know what the results are.
As to the health of the animal and the
purity of the virus, eo hlfrh an authority as
Dr. E. M. Crookshank, bacteriologist of K-ina-'s
College, London, who has written the most
exhaustive oclentlflc work on vaccination (The
History and Pathology of Vaccination) etates:
'There is no way of determining- by the
mlcroevope. or any kind of teat of any char
acter whatever, between lymph which contains
the virus of syphilis' and lymph that does
not.
The calves from which the virus la obtained
e undoubtedly an healthy m can be sot.
and we may grant for argument that they are
perfectly healthy when inoculated. But this
tnaken them sick a fever is stirred up. cer
tain dmpuritlrs are expelled from the -clreu-
atlon and loosed Just under the skin. When
these pustule reach a certain mage of ripe-
new they are -sTrayM out, the contents mixed
with glycerine and sealed up for Inoculation.
Thfre a no denial on the part of medical
men that this Is a disease product. It is
hardly to be clashed, then, with milk, which
U a normal product. The process just de
scribed Is in use In the establishment of
Alexander &. Company. Marietta, l'a., whose
laboratory 1 recently visited. At Mulford &
Company's, near Philadelphia, on the other
hand, there is no pustule, as they do not wait
for this at a He of the disease, but when the
scarified ektn becomes inflamed and raised in
ridges, the calf Is killed and Its dead- body
Is subjected to a scraping In the scarified and
Inflamed regions (on its belly)and the scraped -up
diseased cuticle Is triturated and mixed with
glycerine, and that is their product. With, a
party of .physicians I wltnoeeed the whole
process, and have since published an account
of it, which I have submitted to the manu
facturers, and they have not Questioned or
disputed Its accuracy. They could not. for
the physicians present would themselves tes
tify to the same.
Does it seem a sensible thing: to Inject into
the circulation of a healthy person any dts-
e product ? Is It not as certain that a
sowing of disease will bring- a harvest of
disease and not health, at? that a awing of
nettles will produce nettle and not corn?
111 you not examine this question In 1
lla-ht of all the facta obtainable and let your
readers hear from you again? It would give
me pleasure to submit some literature upon
the subject if you will allow me.

Inspectors in Immigration Office
Have No Ships to Watch.
For the first time since June, 1905, the
local office of the Immigration Bureau Is
without a ship- to watch. At present there
is not a vessel in port carrying a Chinese
crew or others not entitled to land In
the United States.
With the departure of the Arabia yes

turned to the of flee and now await the
arrival of another ship with sailors upon
whom Uncle Sam has placed a barrier
to admission. W ith hardly an excep
tion all steamers plying between the
united States and Oriental ports, carry
Chinese crews. Closs margins on freight
and the high wages demanded by Ameri
cans have forced the steamship com
panies to shipping Celestials. There haa
been considerable agitation on this ac
count but no action has been taken as
yet. At the time the City of Rio de
Janeiro was lost in the bay of San Fran
Cisco there was talk of legislation in this
respect but nothing came of it. The ill-

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few People Know How rartnl It las in
freseninff Health and Beauty.
Costs N'othlar to Try.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
Is the safest and most efficient disinfect
ant and purifier in nature, but few real
ize its value when taken into the human
system for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of it the better; it's not a drug
at all, but simply absorbs the gases and
Impurities always present In the stomach
and intestines and carries them out of
the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking; drinking: or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and lm-
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
It absorbs the . Injurious gases which
collect In the stomach and bowels; it dis-
Infects the mouth and throat from the
poison of catarrh.
. All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another, but probably the best char
coal and the most for the monev Is in
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they are
composed of the finest powdered Willow
charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics
In tablet form or rather in the form of
large, pleasant tasting lozenges, the char-
eoal being mixed with honey. '
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condition
of the general health, better complexion.
sweeter breath and purer blood, and the
beauty of it is that no possible harm can
result from their continued use. but. on
the contrary, great benefit.
A Buffalo physician, in speaking of the
benefits of charcoal, says : "I advise Stu-
art's Charcoal Iozenges to all patients
suffer lng from gas in stomach and bow
els, and to clear the complexion and puri
fy the breath, mouth and throat; I also
believe the liver Is greatly benefited by
the daily use of them; they cost but twenty-five
cents a box at druar stores, and al
though In some sense a. patent prepara
tion, yet I believe I get more and better
. rti II- M 1 T
charcoal in Miians unarcuai lozenges
than in any of the ordinary charcoal tab
lets." Send your name and address today for
