16 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, JANUARY 23, 1908. GRAIN SHIPMENTS ARE FALLING OFF Only Two Cargoes Clear Thus Far During the Pres ent Week. SEVERAL VESSELS READY Elginshire Detained by Sailor Trou bles, Eugene Schneider Finished. January Meet Will Be More Than Twenty Ships. Outward grain shipments have been slow durins the present week only two cargoes having cleared foreign. They are tlio German ships Marie Hackfeld and the Gertrude. Both go to the United Kingdom. The Elginshire has completed her cargo but has been delayed on ac count of sailor troubles. l is impossible to say when the craft will get away. The French bark Eugene Schneider finished last night and will be ready to clear this morning. The Elginshire has on board about 127. 600 bushels of grain and the French bark about the same amount. The clearance of these two vessels will bring the outward fleet for the month up to 1" vessels with a total of upwards of 1.600,000 bushels of -wheat. During the last eight days of the month at least five craft will get away and the list of vessels will pass the 3) mark easily. Grain exports will pass the 2.0iO,0!IO mark but will not equal those of December. During the last month of the calendar year of 1807, 2.722.048 bushels were set afloat. Of the fleet of 19 ves sels, 10 were steamers, each vU- a capa city of more than 200,000 bushels. Kxpurt business for the remainder of the season will probably hold up better than It has for many years. The en roulc list Is larger and receipts of grain from the interior are heavy. Charter ing has been brisk for two weeks past and there will be a fair number of vessels in port at all times until the beginning of tile new season. SAILORS FALL. INTO 1UVER Day or Bad I,uck on the British Ship AVnlden Abbey. Apprentice Stokes, of the British ship "Walden Abbey, narrowly escaped death by drowning in the "Willamette Kiver yes terday. Had it not been for the prompt action of Chief Officer Davis the boy would probably have been lost. He is now confined to his quarters on the. ves sel and is suffering greatly as a result of his bath in the cold waters. Stokes was engaged in painting the hull of the vessel and in some manner lost his balance and went overboard. Mr. Davis the mate, heard tne splash and as soon as he realized the situation he went overboard and rescued the unfortunate apprentice. During the afternoon three other seamen fell overboard, but all were rescued with boathooks. Seamen's Institute Entertains. Robert Burns1 anniversary was cele brated at the Seamen's Institute last night in a programme consisting of songs, dancing and bagpipes played by wearers of the kilts. The chairman of the evening was Mr. Ruddiman, and the programme was under the direction of Mrs. J. Robertson. The hall was crowd ed to its capacity with visitors from tiio ships In the harbor and shore peo ple who were welcomed by the chap lain in charge of the institute. Rev. William Bernays. Coos Bay Business Inereases. Coos Bay traffic has picked up con siderably during the last two weeks. The steamship Breakwater sailed last night fqr Marshfleld with 75 passengers and a quantity of freight. Since the financial crash in October business has dropped off greatly between Portland and Coos Bay ports. During the Sum mer and early Fall all vessels leaving Portland were crowded with passengers and carried full cargoes of freight. Coos Bay Whistling Buoy Adrift. Captain P. J. Werllch, Inspector of the Thirteenth Lighthouse district, has received news to the effect that the outside bar whistling buoy at the en trance to Coos Bay Is out of position. The buoy is marked "K." in black. The aid will be replaced as soon as possi ble. Wind Storm Passes Over. The barometer fell rapidly yesterday morning, and for a time the storm warn ings were ordered displayed at all Coast ports. During the afternoon, however, conditions changed rapidly, and the heavy blow scheduled for the early hours of this morning did not materialize. Lightering the Claverdon. ASTORIA. Or., Jan. 22.

Townsend, president: O. W. Taylor, chairman of the River and Harbor committee; R. Chilcott, chairman of the Executive committee, and Fred Muller, the newly elected secretary of the board, met yesterday with Colonel Lockwood, supervising engineer of the United States army, who is now making an Inspection of the improvements now under way and under supervision of the engineers' department on this coast. The meeting was held at the office of Colonel Roessler, the resident engineer, for the purpose of bringing to the notice of the department the actual requirements of the people of Oregon in connection with river and harbor improvements. Colonel Lockwood left Portland yes terday afternoon on a trip to the Puget Sound district, where he will meet a subcommittee of the river and harbor committee of the National House to consider and pass on the advisability of certain improvements asked for in that locality. He was engaged during the forenoon listening to committees from Coos Bay and other Coast points, who came to Portland to advance the inter ests of their section. Captain Chilcott acted as spokesman for the Board of Trade committee and called the attention of Colonel Lockwood to the temporary character of the Im provement work on the lower reaches of the Columbia river in the form of dredg ing, citing as an Illustration the present work of dredging a channel between the mouth of the 'Willamette and the city of Vancouver. The department, he said, has spent several thousand dollars annually for several years in an effort to keep a twenty-foot channel open be tween these points. The committee was of the opinion that the most methodical and "economical manner of permanently improving the Columbia river would be to commence at the bar with a deep draft dredge and work In. Admitting that progress up river will be slow, every pound of sand and gravel taken from the river and carried to sea is so much removed from the bed of the river, never to be returned. The attention of the engineer was called to the seagoing dredger Chinook, now out of commission, the committee stating that it would cost approximately JIOO.OOO to place new boilers in the ves sel and put her In commission, and about JIOO.OOO per annum to operate her. Colonel Lockwood said his mission was of an advisory nature, and no report he might make would have much effect on Congress, suggesting to the committee that more could be accomplished by ad dressing the river and harbor committee of Congress direct. The committee will make its report to the Board of Trade at its next regular meeting on February 4 and advise action be taken on the lines suggested by Colonel Lockwood. suggesting that the co-operation of the Chamber of Com merce be asked in this matter. In Colonel Lockwood's party are Lieutenant-Colonel S. S. Leach and A. H. Webber, assistant engineer. They have been investigating California projects of the United States War Department. City May Buy Rock Crusher. Councilman Rushlight introduced en ordinance in the City Council yesterday afternoon, authorizing the purchase of a rock crusher, to be operated by the municipality. The bill as referred to the committee on ways and means. The measure is intended to relieve the situa tion relative to street improvements, large numbers of which are held up be cause of a lack of material. It is be lieved by many that the city can manu facture Its own crushed noir at a great saving. FAVORS CITY PLANT Mayor Takes Stand on Mu nicipal Lighting Problem. OWNERSHIP COMING SOON Executive Opposes Letting of Five Year Contract to Power Company. Committee Will Consider. Mat ter of Limiting Agreement. Mayor Lane yesterday afternoon de clared himself unreservedly in favor of the establishment of a municipal lighting plant, and by a brief speech irom tne chair, during the session of the City Council, secured a concession that may result, in the city being lighted by elec tricity generated at its own plant within the next two or three years. In event the city Cannot Install its own power plant, there is a probability, the Mayor said, that competition will reduce the cost of city lighting. The matter came up on motion of Coun cilman Annand, who desired to make cer tain that the city have a lighting contract for next year, and moved to authorize the Executive Board to advertise for bids on a five-year contract. Councilman Rush light first raised an objection to the length of the proposed contract, and said he would not vote for five years, but sug gested that it be reduced to two years. He said he would not favor five years. ' Oskar Siuber. representing the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company, was granted the floor, and declared that he would not consider a bid for two years, as his company would have to install ma chinery to the value of 400,000, should it receive the contract and said It would be folly to go to such an expenditure for less than five years' business. In view of Mr. Huber's statement. Councilman Annand urged that his origi nal motion be carried, but Councilman Kellaher also came to the assistance of Mr. Rushlight and expressed his belief that the city could do oetter than to tie itself up for a term of five years with the Portland 'Railway, Light & Power Com pany. A vote was taken, and the motion to authorize the Executive Board to adver tise for bids for a contract to light the city for not to exceed five years, was carried. "Now, gentlemen," said Mayor Lane, very earnestly, as he left his seat and came forward, "this is a matter that is most important, and I hope you will not go into it unadvisedly or neglect to give It the attention it deserves. I think that if this motion stands as carried, you practically tie up the Executive Board, and make us award a five-year contract, as you have already heard that the com pany will not consider anything less than that contract. The city ought not to be tiad up by a long contract; we may be able to do better before the end of five years. Indeed. I believe we shall, and the city ought to have the benefit. "Now, let me tell you, the proposition to build a municipal lighting plant will carry in this city, if left to. the people, in less than five years, and we ought not to tie the thing up so as to be unable to enter into that enterprise when the time comes. The city ought to own its MAY LEAD TO CANCER There Is no difference, at first, ia tne appearance of a cancerous and a common nicer, and for this reason every sore that is obstinate or slow in healing should excite suspicion, for the sore is nothing more than the exter nal evidence of a polluted blood, and if allowed to remain may degenerate into Cancer. Efforts to heal the ulcer by means of salves, plasters and other external remedies always result in failure.because such treatment can have no possible effect on the blood, where the deadly germs and morbid matter form, and are carried through the circulation to the place. No sore or ulcer can exist without a predisposing internal cause, and. the open, discharging ulcer or festering old sore will continue to eat deeper into the surrounding flesh as long as a polluted, germ-infected circulation discharges its impur ities into it. S. S. S. goes to the fountain-head of the trouble, and drives out the germ-producing poisons 'and morbid impurities which, keep the PURELY VEGETABLE nature, and unlike mineral medicines, which often do great damage to the delicate parts of the system, S.

This city will be paying about S200.000 yearly for its lights before long, if the streets are properly lighted, and It is a very serious matter that we are now considering. I wish this might be referred to some committee, that it might be acted upon wisely, and not entered into hurriedly, without any knowledge of the facts." Councilman Kellaher then moved that the matter be referred to the committee on lighting, and this motion was carried. The committee was instructed to report its recommendations at the next regular meeting of the Council, as it is impor tant that the contract should be let soon, if the city is to enter into another con tract with the Porland Railway, Light & Power Company. Its contract expires December 31, 1908, and Mr. Huber said yesterday that, if the c6mpany is to fur nish the lights next year. It must have at least 10 months in which to install machinery to generate the required amount of electricity. The lighting committee of the Execu tive Board, in its annual report, men tioned favorably the proposition to es tablish a municipal lighting plant, and Mayor Lane incorporated this into his annual message to the City Council. He has now gone on record positively for this method of meeting and solving a costly problem, Will Validate "License Law. On the advice of City Attorney Kava naugh, the City Council will probably pass an ordinance for the purpose of validating the act voted by the people last June, which was declared uncon stitutional by Circuit Judge Cleland, relative to certain liquor dealers. It was an act fixing the license rates for wholesale liquor dealers, druggists, res taurants and grocers who sell liquor, and because of its alleged Invalidity it was thought wise by Mr. Kavanaugh to have an invalidating ordinance passed. Such a measure was introduced into the Council yesterday and it was sought by some to put it on final passage, but Councilman Kellaher objected and it was referred to the liquor license committee. At Sea Over Vehicle. Tax. The City Council seems unable to ad just matters so that an ordinance equit able and just can be framed and passed, levying a tax on vehicles. An ordinance fixing the rate . at J3 a year for one horse rigs and at J2 for each additional horse, was introduced at the meeting yes terday afternoon, but met with a very chilly reception. It was referred to the license committee, and evidently stands no chance of passage. It aimed to ex empt all vehicles used In free-delivery service, which means most of the vehicles In the city, and several Councilmen said it would not bring in anywhere near enough revenue to make it worthy of consideration. Would Regulate Poolrooms. Councilman Belding's ordinance, pro hibiting minors from entering poolrooms, was introduced into the City Council yesterday afternoon, and was referred to the 'committee on health and police. There is strong sentiment in favor of the passage of this ordinance, but a few of the members of the Council think the age might be fixed at 18 years without injury to the public morals, and this may be done. So far the poolroom pro prietors have not objected to the pro posed measure. Money lor Mooring Buoys. An ordinance, carrying an appropria tion of $3500 for the purchase of mooring buoys, was passed by the City Council yesterday afternoon. The buoys are ( ulcer open.

Y.f who is 75 years of age and has just celebrated his 50th wedding anniversary, extols Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey as the greatest tonic stimulant known; says it strengthens his nerves, aids digestion and produces restful sleep. In a recent interview Mr. .Tholens said: "I have been using Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey and am still using it a tonic stimulant. I- have re ceived very marked benefit from same. I follow your directions and take the medicine in small doses. It strengthens my nerves, aids digestion and brings me restful sleep. r "A few weeks ago I met a friend who had been ailing all Winter and I advised him to get a bottle of Duffy's Malt Whiskey. I met him again a few days ago and he told me he was tak ing it and was receiving great benefit from its use. Send him a Medical Booklet. "My stomach trouble is about gone.

CURE And My Cures Are I have been treating- men, and men only, for over 25 years. I have an established reputation in Portland, which I hold as a priceless asset. I undertake only curable cases, and when I promise a cure I guarantee it, and my business standing and bank refer ences assure the patient that my guarantee Is absolutely binding. I do not think I can show better faith in my ability and methods than my unqualified offer to patients. Many a youth of splendid promise has failed because of some weakness the nature of which made him delay seeking medical aid until it had become Berious, and greatly in jured bis life's opportunities. I have seen thousands of these cases, and have heard the story of their suffering. Usually there is also a history of Incompetent treatment by family doctors, patent medicines, electric belts and unprincipled medicalnstitutes and so-called "specialists." Results Are the Only Test I make definite claims for my methods of treating Men's Diseases. I claim originality, distinctiveness, scientific correctness and unap proached success. Every one of these claims is backed by substantial proof. The best evidence of superiority are the cures themselves. My treatment cures permanently those cases that no other treatment can cure. This test has been made over and over again, and a majority of my patients are men who have failed to obtain lasting benefit elsewhere.

You have everything to Weakness I have a treatment for men's Weak ness -which is entirely out of the line ot the stimulants and tonics which for a Ions time was the only help that physicians had to offer for such con dition. Being- all the treatment known to the ordinary physician and all that was mentioned in medical text books from which such disorders were stud ied. Its frequent failure to give help caused many honest and well-meaning physlcalns to admit that there was nothing to help a man whose virile power was declining. But my ex haustive studies in the specialties of Men's Weakness proved conclusively to me that this class of disorder in about nine cases out of ten is due to an affection of the nerves or the prostate gland, or to a disturbance . of the blood supply to this important organ. Treatments must be given to the affected part. It must be local and direct. It must be the right treat ment, and the functions of the organ and the action of the medication must be minutely understood. Then the re sult Is never in doubt for a minute, and the cure is as permanent as it is absolute.

They need help. Most old people must give to the bowels some regular help, else they suffer from constipation. The condition is perfectly natural. It is just as natural as it is for old people to walk slowly. For age is never so active as youth. The muscles are less elastic. And the bowels are muscles. So all old people need Cascarets. And most of them need them daily. One might as well refuse to aid weak eyes with glasses as to neglect this gentle aid to weak bowels. The bowels must be kept active. This is important at all ages, but never so much as at sixty. Age is not a time for harsh physics. Youth may occasionally whip the bowels into activity. But a lash can't ba used every day. What the bowels of the old need is a gentle and natural tonic. One that can be constantly used without harm. And there is no matter of choice.here. The only such tonic is Cascarets. Cascarets are candy tablets. They fcre sold by all druggists, but never In bulk. Be sure to get the genuine, with C C C on every tablet.
