MAKES FASTTI1
UN MAIDEN VOYAGE
F. S. Loop Reaches Astoria 50
. Hours After Leaving the
Golden Gate.

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.

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

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."

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. The elevator operator at the

Mr. M. D. Wingate, of Pe

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, Peto'skey, Mich, April 12, 19 07. . .

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.

We Are the Leading Specialists
WEAKNESS CURED.
Ve are taking broken-down wrecks
of humanity every day and fixing
them up as good as any man of their
years. We don't, care what has caused
the trouble, nor who has failed to cure
them. We can cure them and make
them better and stronger than they
ever hoped to be.
Just because some other specialist
has failed to cure you is no reason
why we should fail. Our treatment
for MEN'S WEAKNESSES and other
diseases is as different from other spe
cialists' manner of treatment as day is
from night.
Permanent and" lasting cures of all
diseases of men. - We have the most
perfectly equipped offices in the West.
WHY NOT 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?
Do not be fooled into paying a big
fee for surgical procedure that does
not cure. We are the leading special
ists in Portland and our cures are
thorough and permanent. Talk with
us about your ailment and a personal
Interview will convince you that we
know our business.
