OWNERS Mcamrr Is Built on the Same Lines as the Johau Poulsen and the H. 1. Inman Makes Better Time Than Either Steamer. The new ste-am schooner F. S. Loop belonging to the Loop Lumber Company , of San Francisco, arrived in Portland yesterday on her maiden voyage. Slie made the run up from San Francisco to Astoria in loss thn 50 hours and during the timo nhc was outnide experienced some heavy weather. The F. S. Loop will load lumber at the Inman-Poulsen mil! for San Francisco. The F. S. Iop is a sister ship of the Johan Poulsen and the R. D. Inman. She is built on the identical lines of the lat ter vessel, but has developed a great deal more power and speed than the Inman. The Ioop completes a fleet of tive vessels operatiriR in the lumber business be tween Portland and California ports. The vessels are: Johan Poulsen, R. L. Inman, F. 6. Loop, Mabel Gale and Virginia, The two last named are schooners. Owners of the new steamer came with in two days of sailing the vessel on a schedule- prepared several months ago. The plan originally formed was to have the vessel clear from San Francisco the evening of January IS, reaching Portland four days later. It was found to be im possible to get the vessel out of the Golden Gate before the 20th. Considering the fact that tho Loop was a new ship and that the boilers had never been tried the performance is one that should place her in the front rank of speedy steam schooners. JOS.

FINZER RETURNS FROM CAPITOL Head of 1 Oregon National Guard Tells of Meeting at Washington. DISCUSSED COAST DEFENSE fU E.F. Willis ' E. F. "Willis, who has been elected president of the Federation of Hard . ware & Implement Dealers of the Western States, is a well-known hardware and -implement man of this state. Mr. Willis has just completed one year as vice-president of- the Oregon Retail hardware & Implement Dealers Association, de clining re-election in order to ally himself with the federation, which includes all the Paclnc Northwestern States and will undoubtedly include Colorado and t'tah. Heretofore this organ izatlon has been a temporary one. Mr. Willis becomes its first per manent president. Mr. Willis Is In the hardware business at Banks, Or. He has a large acquaintance in the Pacific Northwest outside of the state. Adjutant-General Gives Outline of Plans Adopted by War Depart ment for Increasing Efficiency . of -Pacific Fortifications. General W. E. Finzer, adjutant-general of the Oregon National Guard, returned yesterday forenoon from Washington, D. C where he attended a conference of Pacitic Coast adjutant-generals with War Department officials on the subject of coast defenses. Other subjects of im portance to the Guard were likewise taken up and General Pinzer returns with several valuable acquisitions for the Ore gon troops. Not the least of these is new rifles, which will be issued immediately, Oregon getting its equipment ahead of all states in the Union. Organization of new, and independent companies for coast artillery work was the agreement reached at the conference. General Finzer was authorized to recruit three full companies, of about 85 men each. This work will be taken up In t..e course of 60 days. These troops will be designated as coast artillery for service at the fortifications about the mouth of the Columbia river. They will be trained exclusively In artillery work and in event of war will be stationed in coast forts rather than in the field. The work is such as should appeal to men of .family, and those who would not feel like going any great distance from home In event of 'hostilities. General Finzer says. Measure Sure to Pass. Washington and California, having a greater number of coast garrisons, will be required to recruit seven or eight com panies each. The recruiting work will be taken up Immediately upon the passage of a bill now before Congress, which pro vides supplies for the National Guard of the country. The passage of the measure is said to be assured. . General Finzer reports a tendency In official circles to regard the National Guard as a more valuable factor In Na tional defense than ever before. The Guard is no longer looked upon as a part of the second line of defense, but of the first line. It is admitted by officials that should . hostilities break out, the regular army would be absorbed in the organization of volunteers and the Na tional Guard alone could be depended on as the first line of defense. Under the new legislation, now pend ing, the National Guard is no longer a state organization. The troops can be called out for any service. It is not a matter of preference on the part of mem bers about taking the field. Every mili tiaman would have to go with his regi ment or be court-martialed and impris oned. The bill makes "peace soldiers" a thing of the past and soldiers who do not mean business will have no place in toe Guard after the passage of tne measure referred to. Virtually Increases Army. "The new bill is one of far-reaching importance." said General Finzer yester day in discussing National Guard af fairs. "It will put the National Guard on a .better basis than ever before. Pro vision is made for furnishing state troops with all stores and equipage in addition to the regular Federal appropriation. With the passage of the act -the Govern ment mn v hf said to have 110.000 more 1 rooiilnrjs for pvprr man in the Guard of the country will then be subject to any kind of service, either Inside the United States or outside and for "n indefinite period." The new Springfield rifles will be issued this Spring. General Finzer managed to get Oregon designated as the very first state to secure these desirable new rifles, with which the regular army is already equipped. Fifteen hundred rifles will be shipped to Oregon for distribution. The first shipment of 100 is due In a few days and will be utilized by expert riflemen, who expect to qualify for the team that will go East for the National tournament this year. The old Krag rifles will be returned to the Government. It is understood these arms will be issued to schoolboy rifle clubs by the authorities at Washington. While an excellent rifle, they are inferior in many respects to the new Springtlelu, which is rated as the best military rifle in use by any army. The carrying power of the new Springfield is greater and - a new 1500-yard range will doubtless be added to the target ranges of the coun try. Arrange for Maneuvers. ( The question of this year's encampment was definitely settled. Instead of coast defense maneuvers, the Oregon infantry and field artillery will have maneuvers at American 'Lake, near Tacoma. Wasn. These maneuvers will be held! from August 3 to 12, inclusive. Oregon, Wash In gtfn. Idaho. Montana, regular army tions mdVe favorable for building opera tions tljan they have been for some time. It Is believed that the lower cost of con struction will assure the continuance of the heavy building movement in Port land and will be especially noticeable in residence construction, as more dwellings are badly needed, despite the fact that hundreds have been erected during the past year. . - An average cut of S3 a thousand in the price of lumber, announced by the mills of British Columbia, has called attention that even a greater reduction has been made by Oregon and Washington lumber men. Unlike the action of the- British t'ohimbia millmen, the reduction through out the Northwest has been gradual. With rough lumber selling in November for $15 a thousand, it has been reduced from time to time until the present aver age price is about $11 a thousand local de livery. "Bad as this reduction has been for the lumbermen of the Northwest, there Is lit tle chance for any decided advance in price until the present rate cases are decided," said Philip Bnehner. president of the Oregon & Washington dumber Manufacturers Association. ' yesterday. "Even with the old rate re.-.tored. it will be a hard struggle to regain our foot hold In the markets of trie country. It is always harder to regain business than it is to keep business, and it will take even lower freight rates than we had be fore sales will once more become nom inal "As a matter of fact, the mills of Ore gon and Washington are not running at more than one-third capacity. The mills are doing their best to keep up their out put, but it is impossible to do so with our, markets closed to us. The mills are ail carrying large stocks and have a problem to keep sales -up to the present cut. "In addition to the reduction of $4 a thousand on lumlx-r. shingles have gone down from about $2.50 to $1.73. so that this Is another saving to builders."

Men eannot understand why this should be so. To them it is a mys tery because in nine times out of ten this condition is caused by a serious feminine derangement. A remedy is necessary which acts directly upon the organs afflicted, re storing a healthy normal condition to the feminine system, which will quickly dispel all hysterical, nervous and irritable conditions. Such is LYDIA E. PiimHArVS'S VEGETABLE COMPOUND The following letter serves to prove this fact. . Mrs. Mattie Copenhaver, 316 So. 21st St., Parsons, Kans., writes: " For two years I suffered from the worst forms of feminine ills, until I was almost driven frantic Nothing but morphine would relieve me.

The question of establishing a rifle range for the Navy was taken up by Gen eral Pinzer with the Navy Department. No definite action was taken, however, as a site tias not yet been secured. Every effort will be made to secure this range, which would bring some of the sailors of the United States Navy to Portland dur ing every Summer. DISSOLVES IN THIN 1 ALLEGED FORGER SUPS AWAY PROM POLICE. Gustav Snider's Disappearance From - Under Noses of His Captors Still Puzzles Minions of the Law. Is there some sort of chemical process whereby a man can be dissolved into thin air within half a minute? " -The police are inclined to think there must be and would be glad to receive in formation on the subject from any well- informed scientist. It might throw some light on the sudden and mysterious dis appearance of Gustav Snider from the police station early yesterday afternoon. Snider was under arrest for forgery. Patrolman Nelson had him in charge. Nelson turned his back for an instant. There were several officers in the sta tion. Nelson turned again to speak to his prisoner. His prisoner was gone. Frank Lowe, a barber who caused Snider's arrest, said the culprit walked quietly out of the station. Nelson ran out just in time to see his man turn into the Worcester block, 40 feet away. Sev eral officers ran to the building and sur rounded it. There is no other way of figuring out what became of Snider after that but to argue that he was dissolved into thin air. No one saw him leave the building. An officer was placed at every entrance. Every room, nook and corner of the building was searched, including the roof. Snider was not to be found. The whole afternoon was spent In the ouilding. The elevator man saw Snider run up stairs from the Oak street entrance of the building.

Wingate, of Pe toskey, Mich.., who was laid up with grip for several weeks, was completely cured by one bottle of Duffy's Pure Malt t Whiskey" after other medicines failed to do him any good. Mrs. Wingate received more benefit for throat and lung trouble from taking Duffy's Pure Malt ;Whiskey than from all other remedies. Thousands of letters like the fol lowing are received from grateful men and women who cannot say too much in praise of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey for the benefits de rived from its use. "I wish to tell you and the public what your Pure Malt Whiskey has done for me. Last February I was taken with a severe attack of the grip that . laid me up for several weeks. The doc- tor gave me his usual remedy for grip, but I did not improve, and as I had used several bottles of your Malt Whiskey, I procured a bottle . and took it according to directions. In a day or two I felt much bet ter, and by the time I had used tha one bottle I was muclj stronger. It is surely a great medicine for old people. My wife used it for throat and lung trouble and she thinks it has done her more good than anything else she ever tried." M. D.

WINGATE. yuffv's tire JJJalt ; Whiskey' is an absolutely pure distillation of malted grain, great care being used to have every kernel thoroughly malted, thus destroying the germ and producing a predigested liquid food in the form of a malt essence, which is the most effective tonic stimulant and invigorator known to science; softened by warmth and moisture, its palata bility and freedom from injurious substances render it so that it can be retained by the most sensitive stomach. If you wish to keep young, strong and vigorous an d have on your cheeks' the glow of perfect health, take Duffy's Pure Malt WThiskey regularly, according to directions. - It tones and strengthens the heart action and purifies the entire system. It is recognized as a family medicine everywhere. CAUTION When you ask your druggist, grocer or dealer for Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey, be sure you get the genuine. It's the only absolutely pure medicinal malt whiskey and is sold in sealed bottles only never in bulk. Look for the trade-mark, the "Old Chemist," on the laheL and make sure the seal over the cork is unbroken. Price $1. Illustrated medical booklet and doctor's advice free. Duffy Malt Whiskey Co., Rochester, N. Y. Third street entrance said he thought he saw a man answering Snider's descrip tion leaving by the Third street entrance. But he was not sure. Besides, Snider could hardly have got out on Third street ahead of the police without running and attracting attention thereby. The officers walked around behind the block. The theory was advanced that Snider might have jumped from the roof. But no mangled body was found. Snider's offense was two' years old. He appears to have been peculiarly fortunate in escaping the law. Roue, the barber,' cashed a worthless check for $14 signed by Snider two years ago and at the time caused a warrant of arrest to be Issued. The warrant was never served. While at luncheon yesterday, Lowe saw the forger and called Nelson, who arrested the swindler. It was while the old war rant was being looked up at the station that Snider made his odd escape. DEADLOCK AT GOLDFIELD Peter Grant Discusses the Labor Sit uation in Nevada. Peter Grant, well known in sporting circles. Is in the city from Gold field, where he has been in -business since leaving Portland. Mr. Grant leffr last night for a visit to Astoria, where he will remain a fortnight Speaking of condi tions at -Goldfteld, Grant says-there will be no change in the situation until after the special session of .the Legislature, which is now in progress. "Just at present things are In a dead lock," said Grant yesterday. "The rad ical element of the Western Federation of Miners and the radical members of the Mlneowners' organization are in. con trol, and so long as things remain as they are, Goldfield will be at a standstill. I look for the Legislature to establish a state constabulary. When this is done, the first step towards peace in Nevada will have been taken. Both sides will then get down to business soon. The rabid element will be forced out of power and concessions will be made by the con servative owners and miners. Then Ne vada will boom. "In spite of the long-drawn-out labor troubles, Nevada still ranks as the third gold-producing state in the Union, and when the labor troubles at Goldfteld are at an end, you will hear great things from Goldfteld. I am thoroughly con vinced that the mines there are the great est in the world. They are really only prospects now, "yet they have produced much gold. Once fully developed, there will be nothing like them In the world. "In spite of the financial stringency, Goldfield Is going ahead. The business men are all men who have taken their money out of the ground and they are putting It back into the buildings.. De spite all the trouble, work on the Gold field hotel has not stopped. This build ing will cost, when finished, a half million of dollars, and not a dollar of this will be outside capital." " ESCAPE AS BY A MIRACLE Roy Pardoe Falls 35 Feet and Is Xot Hurt In Least. Roy Pardoe, an employe of the Colum bia Iron & Wire Works, fell 35 feet from the side of a building to the pavement early yesterday afternoon, but was not seriously hurt. People who witnessed the accident ran to where he lay, expect ing to find him dead. Pardoe struggled to his feet, brushed the dust from his clothing and walked away. The fall was sufficient to kill an ordl nary Individual and that Pardoe escaped unhurt is a, mystery. At the time he wak engaged In1 putting up a fire escape on the building at 211 First street. In some manner he lost his hold and plunged to the ground. Fortunately he fell feet fore most and struck so that the force of the fall was sustained by his side and hip. The impact of his body with the hard pavement could be heard a block distant, eyewitnesses of the accident say. An eyewitness, who did not wish to view what he thought would be a mangled body, telephoned to the police station for an ambulance saying a man had fallen and was lying dead in the street. Patrolman Robson went to the place and Inquired for the man who had fallen. He was informed that the victim had walked away. "I'm alright; I don't want any as sistance," was what Pardoe said as he left the scene of the accident. He did not return to his work, however. KISER CALENDARS 10c CP. Half price while last.
