to
OPENLY BOAST' OF FACT
Four IlcjCftcd Postmasters Only
First or Many Who wyi suffer
Same Fate Vnder Kules
of Senatorial Courtesy.
WASHINGTON'. Jan. 13. Senators
Forakor and Dick did not hesitate to
let It be known among their colleagues
today that' they would continue to
frustrate, as far as may he In their
power, every alleged attempt of the
President to turn Federal patronage
into a machine for nomination of a
Presidential candidate.
Tho success of these two Senators
ycfcterday In securing the rejection of
four Ohio postoffice appointments has
aroused the Sejiate toi a knowledge of
the fact that they are investigating no
less than 25 Ohio appointments, which
have reached the committee on post
offices and post roads and have been
referred to Dick as a su-b-commlttee.
These nominations are simply known as
the "held-up" kind, so far, and they
may or may not go through for con
firmation, according to the way tho
two Ohio Senators view them.
Such Is the power of any pair of
Senators from a state that a nomina
tion which is looked upon by them with
disfavor never gets past the postoffice
committee with a favorable report.
Several other Ohio Federal appoint
ments are held up at the Instigation of
the two Senators.

ALBANY, Jan, IS. Governor Hughe

for the Presidency by the Republicans

single vote in favor of an instructed
delegation from this state or in any
other aspect of the matter.

FIGCRES GREATLY DISAGREE
The Freight on Lumber Shipments
Amounts to More Than Sworn To.
SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. 15. (Special.)
Local lumbermen express considerable
surprise over the statement of J. G.
Woodworth. traffic manager of the
Northern Pacific, in regard to the rate
case. A. F. Specht, who has been in the
thick of the fight for the lumbermen, re
fused to make other than the following
brief statement:
"Mr. Woodworth, states that 1,117,721
tons of lumber products were shipped to
Eastern points covered by the tariffs in
dispute on which his company "earned
18,068,539.95. Using Mr. Woodworth's own
figures, this means that the forest prod
ucts were carried at an average of a
fraction more than $7.20 per ton, and yet
the Northern Pacific Railroad, in Its an
nual report to the Interstate commerce
commission for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1907. sworn" to by Howard Elliott,
president of the road, reports that the
average amount received for each ton of
freight was $2,817."

that they will go on with the work to

tions. The exposition management, how
ever, says it expects to encounter no
difficulty in raising funds.

FOUND IN HOSPITAL
Girl Disappears With Chance
Acquaintance.
TAKEN TO ROOM IN HOTEL
Investigation Shows Young Man Se
cures Lodging for Her Next Day
She Is Removed to Hospital,
Delirious Mystery in Case.
BELLING HAM. Wash., Jan. 15. (Spe
cial.) Claudia Jacobson, a 16-year-old
student of the State Normal School, Is
lying delirious and half conscious -at St.
Luke's Hospital, and her" mother has
worried herself Into a nervous condition
as the result of' the disappearance of the
girl Sunday, night.
The trouble all comes about as the re
sult of the daughter's making a chance
acquaintance Sunday evening and remain
ing away until such an hour that she
feared to go back and face her father.
At least this la the story related by the
police, but there is an air of mystery
about the entire case that indicates that
there may- be something held back.
It was Impossible to learn from either
the police or Dr. Martin, the county
Wealth officer, who had told the police of
the girl's whereabouts', when the girl had
been taken to the hospital, what was
the trouble.
Later it was learned the girl had been
taken from the Albany Hotel on Tuesday
morning, and a visit to that place re
vealed . the fact that she had been taken
there by a young man late Sunday night.
The man secured a room for her and ap
parently had left. On the following day
he appeared again and took her to the
hospital.
The police declare they know that the
young man did not go back to the hotel
Sunday night.
OPPOSE SINGLE TAX LAW
Assessors Will Not Advocate) Reform
League's Amendment.
Oregon assessors, according to action
taken at the annual convention in this
city, which closed yesterday afternoon,
will not advocate the proposed amend
ment to the constitution, advocated by the
Oregon Tax Reform League. A vote on
the matter was taken Just before the
close of the afternoon session yesterday.
The assessors will convene in Portland
January 11, 1909, for their next annual
meeting.
The amendment drafted by the tax re
form people is regarded as unfair by the
assessors, as it exempts large manufac
turing plants, among , other things, and
Imposes heavier taxes, upon large office
structures. B. D. Sigler, president of the
association, and assessor for Multnomah
County, spoke at length against the pro
posed measure, and showed it to "be un
just, at least to the satisfaction of the as
sessors who heard his argument.
The Tax Reform League was repre
sented by H. D. Wagnon, E. S. J. McAl
lister and H. W. Stone, all of whom ad
dressed the assessors on the various
points involved in the proposed new tax
system.
The measure presented by the Tax Re
form League is not the kind of a bill the
assessors will work for," Baid Mr. Sigler,
after the close of the convention. ' while
we will not work for the bill, however,
we will not work against It. In other
words, we will let It alone."
WILL SCALE ST. HELENS
Mazamas Decide ' on Washington
Peak for Outing Next July.
The annual outing of the Mazamas
will be held "atlMount St. Helens this
year, according to a decision reached
by the outing committee. The commit
tee, of which E. P. Sheldon is chairman,
will later fix the date In July when
the trip- will be made. It will also be
decided whether to go in by way of
Vancouver or Castle Rock, although it
Is probable that the Castle-Rock route
will be chosen.
The trip .can be made from Castle
Rock to the mountain In one day by
wagon, but arrangements will be made
so that those who wish to walk can do
so. The wagons carrying provisions,
bedding, tents and paraphernalia, will
probably leave -In the afternoon. A
suitable camping-place will be ' found
along the road, and the trip completed
the next day. Camp is to be made on
the north side of the mountain, near a
beautiful lake.
The Mazamas expect a large number
from Seattle and Tacoma, who will
meet the main party at Castle Rock
and take up the trip from there. It is
not necessary to be a member of tho
Mazamas in order to make the trip, as
the outing committee has extended an
invitations to ail who may wish to go.
The commissary is managed by the
committee. E. P. Sheldon, 531 Lumber
Exchange building, is receiving the
names of those who are planning for
the outing.
MUST HOLD A LICENSE
Chauffeurs Will Be Required to
Take Examination.
The. first meeting of the automobile
commission, authorized by an ordinance
that passed the City Council five months
ago. was held at 11 o'clock yesterday
morning In the office of City Auditor Bar
bur. It is composed of Robert D. Inman,
C. B. Brown and A. G. McPherson. These
men were named by Mayor Lane sev
eral weeks ago', and because of the heavy
business . duties of each they have been
unable to meet sooner.
As provided by the ordinance, whieh
Is now in effect, the automobile cofn
mission has Important duties and large
powers. Its business is to conduct search
ing examinations of applicants, for li
censes as chauffeurs, and one of the
items transacted yesterday was a de
cision to formulate at once a set of
questions to be asked of each would-be
automobile driver.
The ordinance Is regarded as one of the
most important measures recently passed
by the City Council, and has for its pri
mary object a strict check upon chauf
feurs. Each one of them must be li
censed, according to the provisions of
the new law. and one of the chief duties
of the automobile commission is to make
certain - that any man who drives the
pleasure-wagons In Portland shall be ca
pable: that he knqws his business from
first to last, and that he can handle th
machinery in emergency cases. No man
is to be granted a license to operate who
drinks liquor to excess, and another re
quirement is that applicants be strong.
able-bodied and in full control of all their
faculties. They must be clear of sight
nd hearing.
In order to defray the expenses of ex
aminations, the cost of printing the ordl
nance and of securing tags, a fee of $3 is
to be charged each successful applicant
for the first year, and a renewal fee of $1
will be charged annually thereafter.
There appears to be one weak point in
the ordinance, however. A section pro
vides that only professional drivers shall
be licensed, and no tags, are to be .re
quired tobe worn by private owners. It
is feared this will confuse the police in
their efforts to enforce the law. Some
favor an amendment to, the ordinance,
making private owners take out tags, but
exempting them from examinations.
The automobile commission will huid an
other meeting in the near future, at which
it will set a time for the first examina
tion for applicants for positions as chauffeurs.
BARK AVOIDS PAYING FINE
Vessel Without Manifest Satisfies

casks of cement, entered at the Custom
house this morning. She la the vessel
which faified to brin a manifest, but she
escaped the fine of $500, as Captain J. La
roque was able to satisfy the Custom au
thorities that the omission was not his
fault and was not an attempt to evade
the regulations.
According to his statement, which will
be sworn to and filed with the depart
ment, the agents of the bark in Rochester
forwarded the bills of lading- to the con
signees in Portland without first making
a manifest from them, and as a result he
was unable to ascertain the exact amount
of the cargo. He was also compelled to
sail hurriedly in order to avoid a delay of
10 days on account of the tides. The bills
of lading were received this morning from
Portland and a manifest was prepared by
the vessel's agent here. As the various
compartments on the bark were not prop
erly certified, as is required by law, the
vessel was forced to pay tonnage dues on
her gross tonnage, a penalty of about $20,
for the dereliction.

EXPEDITE BIG FINE CASE
I-'inal Ruling on Standard Oil Pen
alty Hastened.
CHICAGO. Jan. 15. No contrary mo
tions will be filed by the Government
against the petition for a certification of
certain questions to the Supreme Court
of the United States by attorneys for the
Standard Oil Company, recently fined In
the Circuit Court of Appeals here. A
motion was filed in the latter court to
day by Edwin Sims, United States At
torney, who had Just arrived from a con
ference with Attorney-General Bonaparte
at Washington. The conclusion not to
contest means that a final decision in
the appeal from the $L'9,240.000 fine im
posed by Judge Kencsaw Landis will be
hastened. 1
Attorneys for the Sandard Oil Company
request that their contention that the
Elkins Law was repealed by the passage
of the Hepburn Act be certified to by
the Supreme Court at once, bo that " it
may be adjudicated in connection with a
case involving the same point in which
the Great Northern Railroad Company
is interested. If the contention is up
held, the decision would operate to in
validate not only . the indictments upon
which the big fine was based, but also
a large number of other indictments in--olving
charges of receiving or giving
rebates.

soap in small doses and regular
ly. It is nice to keep clean inside.
It is a great deal more necessary to keep clean on the inside
than on the outsidel
Cascarets are more important than soap.
The pores of the skin may become clogged with dirt, but they
don't absorb the impurities.
The pores of the bowels do.
1
,There are myriads of pores in the bowels, the duty of which
is to absorb the nutriment from food.
That's how we get our nourishment.
But if the bowels are sluggish the food is delayed. It decays
and forms gases and poisons. Then those pores of the bowels
suck poison into the blood. '
That's how we get our ills.
We urge the habit of cleanliness.
Don't wait till you need a physic. That leaves too much of
the time when you are only half well.
Keep yourself at your best.
The right way is to carry a box of Cascarets with you. It fits
the pocket or purse. Take one just as soon as you know that you
need it It is gentle and sure.
Cascarets are candy tablets. They are sold by all druggists,
but never in bulk. Be sure you get the genuine, with CCC on
every tablet The price is 50c, 25c and
