FAGELUND TOSDUND
Norwegian Steamer Has Been
Diverted to Seattle.
WILL CARRY LUMBER CARGO
A'essel Brought Coal From Australia
and Was Scheduled for Portland
Loading Sailed From San
Francisco Sunday.
The Norwegian steamship Thode Page
lund, under charter to J. J. Moore &
Co., and which has been listed for Port
land loading for the past two months,
has been diverted to Puget Sound and
will take a cargo of lumber from Seat
tle for the West Coast.
Private advices from San Francisco
received yesterday morning, brought the
news to local shippers of the change in
the loading place of the big tramp. The
steamer will report at Port Townsend
anJ will proceed to soma mill at Seattle
for cargo.
The Thode Fagelund arrived In San
Francisco January 24 with a cargo of
coal from Pyrmont, N. S. W. This was
discharged in the Bay City and it was
generally supposed that the vessel would
come to Portland and take a cargo of
lumber for Australia. Charter plans have
been changed and instead she will load
on the Sound for some point in South
America, probably Valparaiso.
SCHOOXEtt MAY BE FLOATED
Alpha Is In Better Shape Than First
Supposed.
MARSTTFIELD, Or., Feb. 12. (Spe
cial.) In imminent danger of being
pounded to pieces by the waves, the
three-masted schooner Alpha lies
stranded on the beach about 29 miles
south of Hecata Head and 21 miles
north of Cape Arago. Captain R. D.
Trudgett, with his second mate, con
tinues to stay by the helpless vessel,
while each succeeding day the rav
ages of the waves render her condition
more precarious. When the vessel was
beached Sunday night, February 2, the
crew narrowly escaped death. The
darkness was impenetrable, and there
was a rough sea. with a heavy rain,
driven by a southwest gale. She was
heating in toward the shore and was
just getting about, when the breakers
aught her and bore her toward the
beach. She hit repeatedly. The men
were compelled to seek shelter in the
cabins.
It is estimated that it will cost be
tween $4000 and 17000 to float her.
The Alpha was built three years ago
by the K J. Simpson Lumber Com
pany, of North Bend, and cost $22,000.
When beached, the vessel had no car
go. She has been in the service of
t lie Olson & Mahoney commission firm,
of San Francisco, and has been plying
between that place and Coos Bay, car
rying lumber.
A KM EH I A ORDERED NORTH
Lighthouse Tender Will Come From
San Francisco.
The lighthouse tender Armeria, recently
brought around from the Atlantic side,
nnd for the past six weeks in service In
San Francisco harbor, has been ordered
to the Columbia River to assist in the
work off the Oregon and Washington
shores. The steamer is due at Astoria
about February 25.
Since the loss of the Manzanita the
work of the department has devolved on
the Heather and the storms of the pres
ent Winter have made that task one
of gigantic proportions. The Columbine,
of the engineers' department, has ren
dered valuable service, but that vessel is
not always at the call of the local in
spector. On completion of the work at the mouth
of the Columbia, the Armeria will go to
Puget Sound and will replace buoys in
the northern district. At present the
Heather is employed in replacing aids to
navigation on the Columbia.
PRESENT KATE HOLDS.
'o Advance Will Be Made to Orient
TTntll June.
SEATTLE, Monday, Feb. 11. Tramp
competition in the Oriental trade will
result in a continuation of the pres
ent reduced flour rate to Shanghai,
Hongkong and Manilla and Japanese
ports until June 1.
When the vessels first commenced to
come to Puget Sound ports for car
Koes the regular lines decided to low
er the flour rate from January 1 to
April 1. At a meeting of the freight
bureau of the North Pacific Asiatic
lines held last Friday It was agreed
to continue the rate for 60 days long
er. The Japanese have been sending
their own steamships to the Pacific
Coast of late and are now in a position
to carry freight at a lower rate than
the regular lines.
BOATS REACH THE DALLES
River Is Again Open Between Port

Ttiver communication was established
between Portland and The Dalles yes
terday, for the first time in three weeks.
The steamer Dalles City, left up at 7

making her way through. The ice has
been out for several days but with the
riissapperance of that blockade the locks
t the Cascades closed up and steamers
were in a worse position than before.
The steamer Joseph Kellogg, which left
up Monday morning, was compelled to
turn back. She arrived here about mid-

JOINS SAVAGE FORCES.
Henri Gressitt Visits Portland In
Madame Butterfly's Interest. '
Henri Gressitt, business manager for
Henry W. Savage's grand opera produc
tion of "Madame Butterfly," which comes
to Portland soon, was here yesterday in
the interest of his attraction. Mr. Gres
sitt was for a number of years a success
ful manager on his own account, but at
the opening of the present season he went
to the Savage forces to look after the
business features of the "Madame Butter
fly" tour. He declares positively that
Portland will have an opportunity to hear
all the members of the original New York
run of the Japanese grand opera, and to
see the originaul production intact.
Everywhere along the route west from
New York the tour has been a phenome
nal success, according to Mr. Gressitt,
and he anticipates a notable engagement
in Portland from both an artistic and fi
nancial standpoint.
Mr. Gressitt is an old friend of Edgar
Baume, and he and the popular Baker
leading man held a reunion yesterday.
IRK ON NEW LINE
United Railways to Lay Rails
on Front Street.
CREWS START IN A WEEK
Men Will Be Put to Work at Both
Xorth and South Terminals and
Also at OttK-r Points
on the System.
Plans have been completed for begin
ning work on the Front-street line of
the United Railways Company and within
a week it is promised construction -will
be started. L. B. Wickersham has been
appointed chief engineer, and is now ar
ranging the preliminaries. H. F. Wells,
confidential man to C. E. Loss, has left
the United Railways Company's employ
and has gone to California.
Men are at work curving rail and pre
paring other materials so that when
work is started it will not be delayed by
these operations. The plan of Chief
Engineer Wickersham is to start full
crews of men at work on both the north
nnd south ends of the Front-street line,
at the terminal yards In North Portland
and on Hood and Moody streets in South
Portland. As many men will be put to
work as there is room for, says Mr.
Wickersham, and construction will be
rushed. The gangs will probably num
ber 50 or 60 workmen.
The rail to be laid on the Front-street
line will be heavier than that now in
use throughout the city. It Is planned
to lay 114-pound girder or grooved rail
along the entire line within the city
limits. This rail is similar to that used
throughout the City of Mexico and Is
suited to roads carrying both steam and
electric trains on the same tracks. The
rail Is seven inches high and is laid on
a sub-grade of concrete.
Because of its very substantial charac
ter, the Front-street line will prove ex
pensive of construction. However, once
laid, it is expected to carry the heaviest
traffic for a long term of years without
deterioration.
It is believed by Chief Engineer Wicker
sham that the two miles along Front
street Included in the United Railways'
project, will be completed by late in
April. This, however, depends largely on
the weather.
SPOKAXE LIXE IS BLOCKED
O. K. & X. Officials Hope to Get
Train Through Tonight.
The Washington division of the O.
R. & X. is still blocked by landslides
and washouts and although operating
officials hope for an early end of the
trouble they are unable to state when
the line will be open. They hope to
get the Spokane train out either to
night or tomorrow. The main line re
mains open and the delayed traffic is
now being cared for. Coal is coming
in in such, quantities as to provide for
freight trains on both branches of the
Harriman system.
There have been no trains between
Portland and Spokane since February
2, and the blockade promises to con
tinue for nearly two weeks. The
Northern Pacific has been tied up in
Eastern Washington and was unable
to reach Spokane from the Sound. J.
W. Casey, traveling passenger agent
for the St. I'aul, has been storm-bound
at Eltopia, Wash., since February a.
He wired to his office that he could
proceed no further and was obliged to
remain in that town until the line was
cleared.
He sent the information that the
only diversion Kltopia offers la an ex
cellent chance to shoot jackrabbits, a
pastime which he has been indulging
to the limit since his enforced stay
there.
This message recalled to railroad
men that there is such a place as El
topia and some of the veterans remem
bered how the station received its
euphonious name. It is now only a
hamlet, but in the days when the
Northern Pacific was being constructed
it promised to be an important point.
The new railroad In that district pre
sented difficulties to the operation of
trains because of a steep grade near
town and as water is scare in that
country many a train was stalled on
this grade without sufficient water to
reach the Kltopia tank.
On account of this being a frequent
mishap railroad trainmen dubbed the
place "Hell to Pay." When the town
was put on the map and a postoffice
placed there the residents modified the
railroaders' name and christened the
town Eltopia.
Appointed Assistant Manager.
G. F. Kevins, formerly with the Peoria
& Pekin Terminal Railway when G. W.
Talbot was general manager, has been
appointed by the latter as assistant gen
eral manager of the Corvallis & Eastern
Railroad, with offices at Albany. The ap
pointment .is due to the increased activity
of the C. & El and the numerous exten
sions planned for it. Mr. Nevins took
charge of his office yesterday.
Why the Y.W.C.A. De
serves Support
PORTLAND, Or.. Feb. 12. To the Ed
itor.) Every year large sums of
money are spent In public and private
advertising of the State of Oregon and
the City of Portland. It Is of the
greatest interest to the business man
as well as to the municipality that
through judicious advertising of the
advantages offered by Portland to the
homeseeker and investor of capital
desirable people be attracted thither.
Consequently any project which tends
to the betterment of the Community,
morally, physically, ethically, also
redounds to its financial standing as a
valuable inducement to offer to the
would-be homeseeker.
Of such a nature is the joint pro
jected building- of the Y. M. C. A. and
Y. W. C. A., who are now conducting
a campaign to raise $100,000 more to
complete the necessary $350,000.
Perhaps many stay-at-home citizens
have never had brought to their notice
the great advantage of such a build
ing to the traveling and transient pub
lic, more especially to women. One of
the departments of the Y. W. C. A.
work is to conduct a travelers' aid, and
trains are met at the depot and ad
vice and assistance cheerfully given, or,
if required, women traveling alone are
conducted to the Y. W. C. A. quarters,
where they can obtain a night's lodg
ing at a modest sum, a great boon to
the traveling woman who cannot afford
admittance to a first-class hostelry and
who is afraid to venture to an un
known cheap hotel after nightfall. To
Illnstrate this I shall tell of an Inci
dent which happened to me personally.
This occurred in Chicago some years
ago. I, with two young children, was
on my way from Toronto, Canada, to
San Francisco. I arrived in Chicago
at 11 A. M.. and, having to wait until
7 P. M. for the westbound train, had
the porter convey my band-luggage to
the parcel room while I repaired to a
window marked "Information Bureau"
and inquired of a clerk where I could
find a hotel to spend the day. Let me
remark here that my children were not
beside me, but engaged at a game of
hide and seek behind the pillars a short
distance away. The clerk recommended
the Leland Hotel, and, at my request,
wrote on a card at which. street I
should find a car. As I turned from
the window a little woman .plainly at
tired came up to me with. "Madam, I
heard your question, but do you know
that clerk lias recommended you to the
most expensive place in town? It will
cost you $3 to $4 Just for a room for
the day."
I looked at her and replied: "Then I
do not think I shall go, for I do not
want to pay so much."
"Now I can recommend you a place."
she went on eagerly, "where you will
be just as comfortable for half the
money a quiet, family place." "You
are very kind," I said, "and I shall
be glad to avail myself of It. Will
you be good enough to write me out
the address and how I shall reach It?"
"I am going in that direction now
and will show you myself." said she,
as she handed me the address. After
thanking her I turned to look for my
children and calling to them, "Come,
we're going," when my conductress
suddenly halted and said oh, so sharp
ly: "Are those children yours?" And
as suddenly came to me that strange
intuition of danger. The porter who
had checked my luggage was then
passing by. I stopped him and, holding
out the card given me by the woman,
said: "Do you know such a hotel?"
And as I turned to speak to her I saw
the hem of her skirt disappearing
through the door. The porter did not
know the place, but could tell me that
the address given was in a questionable
section of the city. I was so upset
over the affair that I decided to sit in
the station waiting room until my
train was available, while I reflected
on the Indiscretion of trusting a
strange woman. How gladly I should
have welcomed a travelers' aid at that
time.
In a city as prosperous as Portland now
Is. with such a rapidly growing popula
tion this Christian Association building
shall surely be soon a realization.
Lesser cities have already fine build
ings, and the amore propre or self
pride of Portland forbids failure to this
most worthy and well-deserved build
ing project.

THE DEVIL'S SHORT SPOON
JTarable Applied to Case of Senator
Bailey, of Texas.
CORNELIUS. Or., Feb. 10. To the Edi
tor.) United States Senator Joseph W. Bai
ley, of Texas, has had the scare of his
lite. Whether he will take a warning from
It or not remains to be seen.
It seems to be the accepted Idea accepted
by Senators themselves that Senators
must be wealthy. No matter about brains,
though these, if they go with the money,
are acceptable. The American people are
not yet ready to give up the Senate fetich.
But here and there Is found a man who
comes forward with object ians as to the
kind of company some of the Senators keep.
Wherever one of these venturesome per
sons has lifted most Senatorial togas, there
has been a Jingle of coin, an odor of oil or
brimstone, and the noise of the cloven hoof.
Only a few togas have been lifted stiff. -clnetly
to show all that Is hidden beneath.
We can surmise, or we can follow a sci
entific course of reasoning and construct
the object as a scientist constructs an en
tire flsh from a single fin or scale.
I said that the investigator detects the
odor of brimstone, and herein lies the reason
for my assertion. There Is an old saying
that "he who eats with the devil hath
need of a long spoon." The burning ques
tion with Senator Bailey has been Just
this, and the people have thought about it:
"Was his spoon long enough in the han
dle?" They have apparently reached an
affirmative decision, but with a demeanor
which seems to say: "We exonerate and ap
prove of him. but we want him to get out
of the state as soon an possible. Sending him
to Washington appears to be the quickest
way." All the while they hold their nose
to keep out the fumes of brimstone until
the Senator is gone.
Senator Bailey's ambition to keep out of
the poorhouse in his old age. Is a laudable
one. but I would recommend to all who
"have a like ambition- to be sure their spoon
Is long enough In the handle. Of course Sen
ator Bailey declares his spoon was suffl-
Tired Nervous Women
Make Unhappy Homes
MRS.NELLIE MA K HAM
A nerrous irritable woman, often on
the verge ot hysterics, is a source of
misery to everyone who comes under
her influence, and unhappy and mis
erable herself.
Such women not only drive hus
bands from home but are wholly unfit
to govern children.
The ills of women act like a fire
brand upon the nerves, consequently
seven-tenths of the nervous prostra
'tion, nervous despondency, the
"blues", sleeplessness, and nervous
irritability of women arise from some
organic derangement.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness alternating- with ex
treme irritability ? Do you suffer
from pains in the abdominal .region,
backache, bearing -down pains.nervous
dyspepsia, sleeplessness, and almost
continually cross and snappy? If so,
your nerves are in a shattered con
dition and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing
in the world is better for nervous
troubles of women than Lydia E.
Pinkhain's Vegetable Compound,
made from native roots and herbs.
Thousands and thousands of women
can testify to this fact.
Mrs. Nellie Makham, of 151 Morgan
St., Buffalo, N. Y., writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
"I was a wreck from nervous prostration
herbs contains no narcotics or harmful drugs and today holds the record for
the largest number of actual cures of female diseases of any medicine the
world has ever known, and thousands of voluntary testimonials are on
file in the laboratory at Lynn, Mass., which testify to its wonderful value.
Lydia E. Plnkham's Yesrctablc Compound ; a Woman's Remedy for Women's Ills.
eiently Ions; but from thf amount of per
spiration the Senator exudes In his efforts
to explain Just how It all happened, and
Just how long his spoon handle really was,
leads me to believe that he must have been
and must still be quit near the Are.
One cannot but feel some pity for Sen
ator Bailey and others of his stripe, be
cause of hia plight. It Is the same pity we
feel for a little child whose mother has
caught him at the pantry door, with Jam on
face and apron. "Honest, mamma, I haven't
touched the Jam," he pleads. Poor child, he
did not realize that one eating with the
devil needed a long spoon.
Senator Bailey cannot plead Ignorance.
He must have known that the Standard Oil
Company, beaded by the pious John ..
was well. If not exactly the devil. It played
the devil with legislators, courts and peo
ple. Haste you! hike you back to Washing
ton ! There the odor from beneath your
toga, will be Indistinguishable among that
from so many other togas. There you may
escape further notice, if you profit by
your lesson. Beware the short spoon and
the devil. D. U. COCHRANE.
UNIONS AND THE LAW.
Correspondent Hopes for Defeat of
Bill Governing Linemen.
PORTLAND, Feb. 12. (To the Editors
Being a stranger to your city, it strikes
me that this class legislation that is being
introduced in the Legislature under the
heading "Linemen want protection," a bill
to license linemen, and making it a felony
to work at the aforesaid vocation without
a license, is open to question.
1 am Informed that Oregon has a barber
law and plumbing law and I don't see why
they stop at two or three unions. Why
do not all of them apply for protection un
der state enactment and make it an offense
If a man dare work if he does not belong
to the unions? It conflicts with the constitu
tion of the United States.
I think that the people's privileges guar
anteed In the constitution, are enough to
choke off these hot-headed ideas of unions
that they are the whole "it." How advan
tageously the linemen's law would have
worked out in the case of the streetcar
strike we had a while back and the threat
ened strike of the linemen in sympathy.
I am no trust-lover and I believe in equal
rights to all, but in the case of the unions
T cannot but help see in it as big a trust

MRS.GEOt A.JAME3
I suffered so I did not care what became of
me, and rov family despaired of my re
covery. Physicians failed to help me. I
was urged to try Lydia E. Pinkbam's
Vegetable Compound and I want to fcsll you
that it has entirely cured me. I think it
is the finest medicine on earth and I am
recommending it to all my frienda and
acquaintances.
Mrs. Geo. A. James, a life long
resident of Fredonia, N. Y writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
"I was in a terribly run down condition
and had nervous prostration caused by
female trouble. In fact I had not been well
since my children were born. This con
dition worked on my nerves and I was ir
ritable and miserable. I had tried many
remedies without getting much help but
Lydia E. Pinkbam's Vegetable Compound
brought me back to health and strength . It
has also carried me safely through the
Change of Life. I cannot too strongly
recommend your medicine."
Mrs. Pinkhain's Invitation to Women.
Women suffering from any form of
female weakness are invited to
communicate promptly with Mrs.
Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. From the
symptoms given, the trouble may be
located and the quickest and surest
way of recovery advised. Out of her
vast volume of experience in treating
female ills Mrs. Pinkham probably
has the very knowledge that will help
your case. Her advice is free and
always helpful.
Veo-etable Compound, made from native roots and
as any exists, and. I hope that the Legisla
ture will defeat the bill referred to.
