RUNNING TIMETQ
BE CUT TEN HOURS
Vessels of San Francisco &
Portland . Company Will
Change ; Schedule.
DAYLIGHT COLUMBIA RIDE
SI earners Will Leave Portland in the
Morning and Arrive in San
Francisco Within Forty
nine Hours.
Beginning with the sailing of the steam
ship Columbia from Portland on April
15, the vessels of the San Francisco &
Portland Steamship Company will make
the run from this city to the California
metropolis in 49 hours. Steamers will
leave Portland at 9 o'clock A. M., instead
of 8 P. M., and will arrive at San Fran
cisco at 10 In the morning of the second
day from thte port. The Columbia-will
be the first vessel to go on jthe new
schedule and will leave Portland at 9
o'clock Saturday morning. She will
arrive in San Francisco the following
Monday at 10 A. M., 49 hours from the
time of sailing from this port.
The Costa Rica, scheduled -to sail from
San Francisco at 11 o'clock the morning
of April 15f will be due to arrive In
Portland at 7 P. M. Monday. . Ships
northward bound are given 66 hours in
which to make the run. At present hey
seldom complete the voyage in lessthan
70 hours. Southward bound, leaving Port
land at 8 P. M., as at present, they gen
erally use about 68 hours to 60 hours.
Ths sailing time from San Francisco
has not been changed but the arrival in
Portland has been cut down considerably.
This will give passengers a daylight ride
on the Columbia on both the northward
and southward voyages. The reduction
of time will have a tendency to stimulate
passenger traffic by water. The Colum
bia recently went on the dock in Ban
'Francisco, and a new tail shaft was in
stalled. She is now capable of maintain
ing the schedule laid down. How the
Oosta Rica will make the time is. a
matter that cannot be answered.
The recent sale of the steamers of the
Oceanic Steamship Company to the Japa
nese placed the steamer Alaneda within
the reach of the San Francisco & Port
land Steamship Company and the estab
lishment of a schedule that is manifestly
impossible for the Costa Rica to main
tain lends color to the theory that the
newer and faster vessel will soon be
operating from this port to the Bay City.
The Alameda is a good Bhip and has been
operating in the island trade from San
Francisco. She is a trifle larger than the
Columbia and can develop about the same
need. She has splendid passenger ac
comodations and will carry close to 2000
tons of freight.
REINSPECTTOX IS ORDERED
Excursion and Ferryboats Most Be
Examined Three Times Annually.
Supervising Inspector-General Uhler, of
the Steamboat Inspection Service, has is
sued the following instructions to super
vising and locl inspectors:
Supervising "and local Inspectors are here
by directed to begin at once a retnspection
of the various steamers within their re
spective districts, with particular reference
to steamers carrying lane" numbers of peo
ple, such as excursion boats and ferryboats.
The re-Inspection will begin with excursion
steamers whose certificates of Inspection
will expire after the opening of the excur
sion season, after which the order of In
spection will be left to the judgment of the
local inspectors. No notice of the contem
plated reinspectlon of a vessel will be given
the owner, master, or other Interested per
son. Hereafter. In addition to the regular in
cpci'tlonn. rein spec tJon or examinations of
fxeursion boats and ferryboats shall be
made at leant three times during the year or
the Reason of service, and. In districts where
Assistant inspectors are employed, such re
Inspection shall not be made by an inspector
or inspectors who made the Inspection Im
mediately preceding the re inspection.
If It Is found at any time that any vessel
is in any way unfit for service, or cannot
be safely navigated, or that her equipment
is not fully up to the requirements, the nav
i cat Ion of such vessel must stop Immediately.

boatmen and old residents of Portland,
who have seen Portland grow from a
village. Captain Wilson was among
the very earliest river navigators, and
ran between Portland and the Cas
cades on one of the first Fteamers
which carried from the Upper Columbia
the Rreat tide of immigration.
When Captain TV 11 son came to Port
land In IS 5 2, he found a village of 300
people. He served as captain on most
of the early boats that plied on the
Columbia and Willamette Rivers, and
only left the river to become a farmer
in Clackamas County in 1389. A year
ago he began to fail In health, and
moved to 47 Kast Third street. He
was 79 years and 7 months old.
Now Bank Organized. x
The German-American Bank of Portland
has been organized and will open for busi
ness in the rooms now occupied by the
Northern Express Company, at the corner
of Sixth and Alder streets. It is expected
to begin business by May 1. The company
proposes to follow the popular plan of an
advisory board of 25 members and provide
facilities for judicious investment by per
sons of medium capital.

TRACKS ILL FULL
Freight Congestion lsi Worse
Than Ever Before.
TERMINAL YARDS PACKED
Eastern Business So Heavy at Fres
. ent Time That Koad Are En
tirely Unable- to Keep
Traffic on the Move.
After periods of more or less conges
tion all Winter, the terminal yards are
now glutted as they have never been in
the history of local traffic. Trains and
sidings are filled with cars waiting to
be unloaded. Although every effort is,
being made to relieve the situation, the'
condition continues serious. Some im
provement is noted, however, and it is
hoped the traffic can be disposed of soon,
so as to give elbow room in the yards.
The rush of traffic at this time
is due to the heavy business from the
East which was stalled on account of
the Winter storms. This freight collected
at points east of the blockade and was
held until a way could be opened for it to
be forwarded to its destination. While
the operating departments of the rail
roads were working all available forces
to repair the storm damage, freight kept
on piling up until a tremendious tonnage
was awaiting dispatch when the trans
continental lines were finally cleared.
Large shipments are arriving over the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific and
terminal officials are working like mad
to dispose of the mooming freight. There
were 1050 loaded cars in the terminal
yards yesterday, while there are 160 more
on the waiting list in Albina, which will
be moved over to the yards as soon as
track room can be bad. There are sev
eral hundred more on the East Side
tracks awaiting dispatch there.
Sidings outside the city are well filled
with cars, waiting their turn in the
terminals. Seven busy switch engines are
working day and night inp the yards,
sorting out trains, pulling loaded cars to
the point of unloading, either warehouses
or team tracks, and are doing their best
to dispose of the long strings of freight
cars that are ahead of the unloading
forces.
Heavy shipments of Christmas goods
blocked the terminal 'last Fall. Now it
is the accumulated tonnage of the Winter
periods when the main lines from the
East were blocked by storms, added to
very large shipments of Spring and Sum
mer goods that is causing embarrassment
to the terminal company. -
Consignees are clamoring "'for their
goods, which, in some cases, have arrived
but cannot be hauled to an unloading
track for a week of more on account of
the many cars ahead of them. Railroad
officials are in a hurry to get the cars
released so they can be loaded back.
Every idle day for a freight car repre
sents loss to the railroads.
Every possible effort is being made to
clear the terminal of the congested traffic
and it is expected to get the immense ac
cumulation disposed of or so far cleared
away that it will not hinder traffic fur
ther within the next few days.
NOT FKIGIITEXED BY ROIORS
Streetcar Company Will Carry Out
Improvement Programme.
The management of the Portland
Railway. L.ight & Power Company is
not frightened by threats of a panic,
for plans for improvements to be car
ried out this year will be adhered to.
Work will be begun at once double
tracking the O. W. P. division south of
the Inman-Poulsen mill, where a cut
will be widened. On the other side of
the big- cut In the high bank south of
the city, a double track wijl be built
to the Oaks. This is a big Job and will
require a very large amount of filling
across the low bottom land. It is not
likely it will be possible to complete
the woi k during the coming Summer.
Workmen have begun driving piling
for the false work beneath the Clacka
mas River bridge on the Oregon City
division, wbich was washed away by
the recent high water. An entirely
new bridge will be built there this
Summer, as well as a new trestle across
Johnson Creek at Milwaukee.
The railway company will erect a
handsome new band shell at 'The Oaks
this season to take the place of the
present band stand, which will be
moved to Estacada and set up in the
park there.

HEBE IS MORE PROOF
THAT OR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS
CURE RHEUMATISM.
Efforts to Get Relief Often Unsucces
ful Until the Tonic Treatment
, Is Given a Trial.
"When I was a boy of sixteen," says
Mr. Otto H. Rose, a retired grocer, ot
1226 Lexington Avenue, Indianapolis,
Ind., "I met with a serious accident
which injured the, bone of my head
over the right eye. I recovered from
the accident to all appearances, but
not many years after I began to have
intense pains In the injured bone,
which came on every year and would
last from a few days to several weeks.
"I consulted the doctors, who told
me that I was suffering from neural
gia. The sight of my right eye was
affected, so that at times I could
scarcely see out of it, while both eyes
watered constantly. During these at
tacks I was often dizzy from the ter
rible pains. The pains came on every
morning and passed away in the after
noon. I never suffered from the pain
at night.
"I tried without success to get
lief until a friend told me to try Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills. When I had
taken a few boxes I felt the pain
growing less Intense and in a -much
shorter time than I had hoped for I
was entirely cured. I have recom
mended the pills to several persons,
who have used them with good results.
"My wife uses Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills for nervous headaches and finds
them the best medicine she has ever
used as they give relief where all oth
ers fail."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have cured
neuralgia, nervous headaches and
prostration, dizziness, partial paraly
Bis, St. Vitus' dance and locomotor
ataxia, because they feed the nerves
and give health to every tissue of the
body. They are unequalled as a Wood
builder and are especially valuable in
rheumatism, anaemia, after-effects of
the grip and fevers, because they reach
these diseases at their root and also
start right in to tone up the whole
body.
Dr. Williams' Pink "Pills are sold
by all druggists or sent, postpaid on
receipt of price, BO cents per box, six
boxes $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medi

Slow Time on Southern Pacific.
During the past two days. Southern
Pacific overland trains have been reach
ing the union depot several hours late.
Besides being received late at Ashland
from the Sacramento division, further de
lays have occurred In Southern Oregon
by reason of the recent heavy rain storms.
In the Rogue River and Cow Creek val
leys, heavy downpours have weakened
tracks and slow running has been neces
sary. Telegraph lines have been brought
down in some sections. A very heavy
rain storm, which is said to be the
r worst in years, has prevailed at Ashland.
Heavy snow has fallen in the Siskiyous

The General Condemnation of SoCalled Patent
W or Secret Medicines
of an injurious character, which indulge in extravagant and unfounded pretensions
I to cure all manner of ills,' and the
1 National Legislation Enacted to Restrict Their Sale
IP have established more clearly thancould have been accomplished in any other way
, The Value and Importance o! Ethical Remedies.
Remedies which physicians sanction for family use, as they act most beneficially and
are gentle yet prompt in effect, and called ethical, because they are of
Known Excellence and Quality and oi Known Component Parts.
To gain the full confidence of the Well-informed of the world and the approval of
the most eminent physicians, it is essential that the component parts be known to and
approved by them, and, therefore, the California Fig Syrup Company has published for many
years past in its advertisements and upon every package a full statement thereof. The per
fect purity and uniformity of product which they demand in a laxative remedy of an ethical
character are assured by the California Fig Syrup Company's original method of manufacture,
known to the Company only. . . .
There are other ethical remedies approved by physicians, but the product of"
the California Fig Syrup Company possesses the advantage over all other family laxatives
that it cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts, without
disturbing the natural functions or any debilitating after effects and without having to
increase the quantity from time to time.
This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of
Syrup of Figs, and has attained to world-wide'' acceptance as the most excellent of
family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from . Senna, are well
known to physicians and the Well-Informed of the world to be the best of natural
laxatives, we have adopted the more 'elaborate name of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of
Senna, as more fully descriptive ' of the remedy, but doubtlessly it will always be
called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs; and to get its beneficial effects,
always note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co.
plainly printed on the front of every package, whether you simply call for Syrup
of Figs, or by the full name, Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, as "Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of Senna is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig
Syrup Company, and the same heretofore known by the name, Syrup of Figs, which
has given satisfaction to millions. The genuine is for sale by all leading druggists
throughout the United States in original packages of one size only, the regular price
of which is fifty cents per bottle.
Every-bottle is sold under the general guarantee of the Company, filed with the
Secretary of Agriculture, at Washington, D. C, the remedy is. not adulterated or mis
branded within the meaning of the Food and Drugs Act, June 30th, 1906.
