Iiosing Ground as Shipbuilder.
LONDON, Jan. 23. Great Britain's
claim as a shipbuilder for the world is
no looser justified to such an extent as
formerly. The statistics of the world's
shipbuilding in 1907 just issued by Lloyd's
register, show a total output of mercan
tile tonnage by the United Kingdom of
1.742.36o, being a decrease of 220,000 tons,
as compared with 1906, which was the
highest on record. (
Great Britain, however, still builds
more than one-half the mercantile ship
ping of the globe, which last year showed
a net increase of 1.9S4.800 tons, compared
with an increase of 2,158,000 in 1906. -
The world's fleet of sailing ships was
reduced during the year by 180,000 tons,
and the steam tonnage was increased, by
2.164.S0.
The United States built In 1907, 475,000
tons, which was a slight increase. Ger
many showed a serious decline.
Link Portland and Seattle.
S. V. Davidor. one of the incorporators
of the Washington Home Telephone
Company, asserts that his company in
tends to have a line between Portland and
Seattle in operation within six months, as
the construction work is to be rushed. He
expects that the exchange at Vancouver,
Wash., will be in operation by February 1.

GALLS ON CITIZENS
Council Committee Asks Ad
vice on Light Problem.
PUBLIC MEETING CALLED
Mayor, Executive Board and All
Others Interested to Attend.
Time Short in Which Data
' Must Be Gathered.
To the City Council committee on street
lighting has been assigned one of the
most Important matters that body has
ever considered. Chairman Cellars and
Committeemen Baker, Beldlng, Menefee
and Concannon have fnstructions to
gather data as to the problem of city
lighting, whether- a long-term contract
must be let at the present time, whether
or not reasonable rates are being charged
by the corporation now furnishing city
light and whether the establishment of a
municipal plant is feasible. They are to
report within two weeks. .
It will be the duty of the committee to
ascertain, as far as possible in the limited
time, all important facts concerning the
operation of municipality light plants,
and the Council will expect full Informa
tion, In the nature of a recommendation,
as to what action should be taken by the
City of Portland.
George B. Cellars, chairman of the
committee, said last night that he would
call a special meeting of the committee
for next Wednesday afternoon at 2
o'clock, for the purpose of discussing the
matter. He desires the presence of the
Mayor, members of the lighting commit
tee of the Executive Board and all others
who have information on the problem un
der consideration.
"This is one of the most important mat
ters of the day," said Cellars. 'The light
ing committee of the Council seeks now
all Information available on the subject.
The time given us for discussing the mat
ter and making our report is so brief that
we are forced to look to those who may
have Information at hand. I would like
to have every one who knows anything
about the subject of lighting attend the
meeting if possible, or write, giving us
the benefit of his knowledge. We want
to get everything we can that bears on
this subject, and are handicapped because
of lack of time."
The city's contract with the Portland
Railway, Light & Power Company for
lighting the streets and public build
ings expires December 31, 1908, and the
question now being Considered is as
to what action to take with regard to
the future, whether to let another five
year contract to the same company
now the only corporation able to bid
or to cut down the time to one or two
years and prepare to install a munici
pal lighting plant. Mayor Lane favors
anything that will tide over until such
time as the city can equip its own
plant, and has announced himself In
favor of municipal ownership.
It was at the request -of Mayor Lane
and Councilmen Rushlight and Kella
her that the matter was referred to a
committee. Councilman Annand, be
ing of the belief that it would be best
for the city to let another contract to
the Portland .Railway. Light & Power
Company, made a motion in the Coun
cil meeting last Wednesday that the
Council authorize the Executive Board
to advertise for bids for lighting the
streets for the next five years. This
was amended by Mr. Rushlight to read
"not to exceed five years," and would
have stood had not Mayor Lane
earnestly requested that the matter be
referred to some .committee, for the
purpose of having it fully discussed
and an intelligent report made to the
Council at the next regular session.
Should the Council decide that It is
best to have a municipal plant, the
charter provides that the matter must
be put to a vote of the people.

ASTORIA, Or., Jan. 23. (Special.)
In an effort to Induce the battleship

Fifth There should be an 800-yard and
1000-yard range. In this case, the firing
points can be one behind the other. This
range should be quite separate from those
for 300 and 300 .yards, but should be as
near them -as possible. There should be ten
targets.

can be used at the same time. It is ad
visable that the firing points of the he
volver ranges be in the same line as those
for 200 and aoo yards, though this Is not
absolutely necessary.
Seventh In addition to the above, there
should be a ''skirmish run." It is not neces
sary that there should be a separate range
for this, as the lOOO-yard rang can be .
used for this purpose provided the ground
is smooth enough over a stretch of 400
yards, from a point 0t a distance of 000
yards to a point at a distance of 200 yards
from the target.
Eighth The ranges should have high
land behind the butts, or else the firing
should be toward water that is not suffi
ciently frequented by shipping to interfere
seriously with the firing. It is, however,
always best to have high or unoccupied
land behind the butts. 9
Ninth If practicable, "the firing should
be to the northward.
It is better to give the requirements as
above, rafher than to specify the required
space- In acres or rectangular area, because
so much depends -upon the nature of the
ground and the direction in which it may be
necessary to lay out the various ranges.
SIGNERS ARE UNINFORMED
PETITION AGAINST COSBOY M
CENSE OF SMALIi VALUE.
Prominent Citizens Admit Tliey Put
Their Names to It Merely'to
Be Accommodating.
When W. M. Ladd, of the Ladd &
Tllton Bank, F. I. Fuller, vice-president
of the Portland Railway. Light & Power
Company, and other men equally promi
nent in business affairs are placed on the
witness-stand before , the liquor-license
committee of the Council tomorrow
morning to tell what they know about
the saloon of J. J. Conboy, they will prob
ably swear that they know nothing about
It. Though they all signed a petition for
the revocation of the saloon's license, it
is altogether likely they will frankly
admit that they did not know why they
did so. They told the license-inspectors
as much yesterday, when subpenaed.
Conboy owns a saloon at Twenty-flrst
and Sherlock-streets, and is charged by
E. F. Noland with being an unfit person
to hold a license to dispense liquor. Con
boy will be on hand at the City Hall, at
10 o'clock tomorrow morning to put in his
defense. As a part of the prosecution's
case, a long petition, signed by 75 house
holders, was submitted. It was circulated
by Noland. 'and it now seems that when
securing signers, Noland went to well
known and highly Influential business
men, among others, evidently believing
their names would have great weight
with the license committee. However,
when these men were served with
subpenas yesterday by Inspectors Mc
Eachern and Hutchinson, all of them de
clared they knew nothing of Conboy, or
of the reputation of his place: that they
simply signed the petition "to be ac
commodating." Dr. W. I. Cottel, chairman of the liquor-
license committee, issued subpenaes for
the prominent men among the petitioners,
as he declared he wished to know what
they knew about Conboy's saloon, or
about Conboy himself, if anything.
Others subpenaed are: F. H. Ransom, N.
E. Ayer, of the Eastern & Western Lum
ber Company; C. H. Jackson, president of
the Oregon Planing Mill; R. E. Davis,
secretary of the Willamette. Iron & Steel
Works; Charles B. Hand, W. J. Clemens,
William Storey, f. H. Noltner. C. H.
Dodd and F. Richet.
This afternoon at 1:30 o'clock, the
liquor-license committee will meet at the
City Hall to hear evidence for and against
five saloonkeepers, charged by the police
with infractions of the law.
CITIZENS FORM A LEAGUE
Will Work for Better Government In
St. John.
Although Francis J. Heney could not
accept the invitation sent him to ad
dress the citizens of St. John, at the
citizens' meeting, Wednesday night, in
the City Hall, there was a fair attend
ance. The name of the club was changed
to the Good Government League. As the
committee on platform was not ready to
report that matter was continued until
February S, when the next meeting will
be held. The present mission of the
league is to educate voters up to a better
understanding of theis. powers and oppor
tunities to make St. John a clean' and
progressive city. A ticket will probably
be nominated later if It be considered
necessary to carry out the purposes of
the .league. B. T. Leggett and George C.
Carhart are mentioned as possible league
candidates for Mayor. T. J. Monahan
also Is mentioned, but he says he is not
a candidate.

opposition in his race for re-election. For
City Attorney H. H. Colicr, T. T. Parker
and George J. Perkins are mentioned. S,
H. Greene, who has been City Attorney
for three years, has said he will not be
a candidate for re-election, but he will
probably be nominated on the administra

THIS IS -WORTH SAVING
GOOD PRESCRIPTION AXD HOW
TO PREPARE IT.
Recommended Very Highly In Kid
ney and Bladder Troubles and
Rheumatism.
This is a simple home recipe now
being made known in all the larger
cities through the newspapers. It is
intended to check the many cases of
rheumatism, kidney and bladder trou
ble which have made so many cripples
and invalids and weaklings of some of
our brightest and strongest people.
The druggists here have been noti
fied to supply themselves with the in
gredients, and the sufferer will have
no trouble to obtain them. The pre
scription is as follows: Fluid Extract
Dandelion, one-half . ounce; Compound
Kargon, one ounce, and Compound
Syrup of Sarsaparllla three ounces. Mix
by shaking well in a bottle. The dose
is one teaspoonful after each meal and
at bedtime.
Recent experiments, even In severe
hospital cases, prove this simple mix
ture the remedy for Rheumatism, be
cause of its positive action upon the
eliminative tissues of the kidneys. It
compels these most vital organs, to fil
ter from the blood and system the
waste impurities and uric acid which
are the cause of rheumatism. It
cleanses the kidneys, strengthens them
and removes quickly such symptoms as
backache, blood disorders, bladder
weakness, frequent urination, painful,
scalding and discolored urine. It acts
as a powerful stimulant to the entire
kidney and bladder structure, puts new
life into them and invigorates the en
tire tract.
All the ingredients, states a well
known local druggist, are of vegetable
extraction, making It a safe and harm
less prescription at any time.
Those who suffer and are accus
tomed to purchase a bottle of patent
medicine should not let a little Incon
venience interfere with making this up.

SEABOARD AIR LINE CASE
With a Iiittle Explanation of Judge
Prltchar&'s Attitude.
RICHMOND, Va Jan. 13- (To tho Edl-,
tor.) My attention has been called to the
editorial appearing in The Oregonian Jan
uary a, 1O08, under the heading, "Wrecking
a Railroad.' Assuming that It Is your de
sire, as it should be of every newspaper
published in this land, to bo fair to every
one. and especially to those -who are charged
with the sacred duty of administering jus
tice. I wish to state the facts in connection
with the appointment or the receivers of the
Seaboard Air Line Railway. I am sure a
recital of them will show how unwarranted
was your vicious attack on Judge prltchard.
and that you will hasten to repair the gross
Injury you have done him.
As clerk of Judge Prltchard's court and
the custodian of the records, it became im
portant that I should be present on the
second day of January last when the re
ceivers of the Seaboard Air Line were ap
pointed. At this meeting practically all of
the stockholders and the trustees under the
various mortgages were represented. James
Byrne, of the New York bar. represented
the Seaboard Air LJne Railway the com
plainant In the bitl. and the Seaboard Com
pany, a holding corporation, which Is said
to own about 82 or 83 per cent of the stock
of the Seaboard Air Line Railway, and a
considerable portion of its bonda Samuel
Untermeyer, also of the New York bar, rep
resented the Continental Trust Company,
the defendant named in the bill and all the
other trust companies, which are trustees
in the several mortgages and deeds of trust
executed by the Seaboard Air Line Railway.
Messrs. Eppa Hunton and A. Caperton
Braxton, of th Richmond bar, represented
the so-called "Williams Interests" and the
Seaboard Air Line stockholders' Protective
Committee, which owned practically all of
the stock of the said railway, except that
owned by the holding corporation, the Sea
board Company, mentioned above.
The receivers named were Messrs. S.
Davies Warfleld, of Baltimore, Md and R.
Lancaster Williams, of Richmond, Va., the
latter a brother of John Skelton Williams,
the former president of the Seaboard Air
Line Railway, and were nominated to
Judge Prltchard by the Ryan and Williams
interests respectively, and up to the present
time have not been objected to by anyone
in Interest.
The bill was filed by Leigh R. Watts, gen
eral counsel for the Seaboard Air Line Rail
way, and at the same time an answer was

from lard cooked food
The purity of Cottolene is apparent when you
compare its source the cotton fields-of the Sunny
South, with the source of lard the pig-sty. Lard
is an animal product of doubtful cleanliness and
wholesomeness; Cottolene a vegetable product of ab
solute cleanliness and purity.
The economy of using Cottolene is easy to
figure when you know that one-third less is
required than of either lard or cooking butter. ,
If purity and economy count
for anything in your eyes, Cotto
lene should be the frying and
shortening medium used in your
kitchen. ' It is recommended by
the most noted cooks and pure
food advocates of this country
people who nave scientifically
analyzed it and carefully tested
.it for all cooking purposes where
lard or butter has been previously
used. ,
Buy a pail of Cottolene to
day and give it a personal test.
Nature s Gift from the Sunny South
dered on the railroad train was a mere In
cident. Judge Pritlchard -was en route
from nla home to Richmond, Va., to nold
court, and the parties above referred-to, be
llevfng that there was an emergency that
called 'for action before he could reach that
place met . him at Danville, Va. At that
place for convenience the Judge left his
sleeper In which he had engaged a berth
and Joined the party on their private car,
but after the receivers had been appointed
by consent of all parties In interest, as
above indicated, he immediately returned to
his car and came to Richmond.
I feel confident that you will publish this
communication, not only In Justice to Judge
Prltchard, whose reputation as a Judge and
as a man is as pure as the 'unsullied snow,
but In justice to your fame as a newspaper.
Very truly yours,

The Oregonian has never entertained a
shadow of a doubt that all the proceed
ings In the cause of the receivership
of the Airline Railway were rigorously
legal. Unquestionably Mr. Ryan haa
wrecked the road strictly according to
law, and the courts have lent him their
assistance in exact harmony with precept
and precedent.
For all that, the fact remains that Mr.
Ryan has wrecked the road, that in the
receivership his powers are equal to those
of the "man he has plundered, and that
the law knows of no better proceedure

So long as physicians continue along
the old lines of treatment of this dis
order, men will continue to be disap

to obtain a cure. I have found that
disorders entirely local are responsible
for lack of vitality, loss of power, etc.,
and that there Is not even the slightest
possibility of obtaining a cure through
the use of Internal remedies. My treat

of all abnormal conditions throughout

WHY XOT TREAT
with reputable specialists of known
worth and skill, rather than waste
your time with would-be specialists of
no skill or ability.
Is it not better to treat with a med
ical institute composed of men scien
tifically trained to cure and who are
men of standing and ability than to
treat with self-styled, so-called spe
cialists of limited experience, whose
vaunted cures are no cures at all?

not cure. We are the leading special
