NICOMEDIA PAYS
BUT SMALL DUTY
Regular Liner Arrives With
Smallest Shipment Entered
for Some Months.

Merchandise for Portland Cam
phor for Kew York and Boston.
Alesia Due In Ten Days.
Thp rrjrular linor Nicomedla. of the
Portland & Asiatic Steamnhip Company,
rntprpd at the Customs-House yester
day with the lightest cargo which has
been brought from Chinese and Jap
anese ports for many months. The
Niconirdia brought less than 10.000 rolls
of matting-, and comparatively small
quantities of rice and curios.
Duties which will be paid on the
cargo of the Nicomedia will fall about
140,000 short of what generally nets
the Government from an Oriental boat.
The most valuable article in the way
of duty is silk, and there were only
four bales on the steamer. The Alesia,
which is due to arrive within the next
ten days, will have a valuable cargo
and upwards of J100.000 will be paid
to the Government in duties on her
cargo.
Steamship service between Portland
Rnd Oriental ports has been badly de
moralized during the past three months.
The Arabia, whicii sailed Monday, was
more than three weeks behind her
schedule. She was held up at Hako
date on account of storms. The Nico
media has fallen behind a few weeks,
due to bad weather, and the Alesia and
the Numantia arc also a little oif their
schedules.
The Alesia will bring, in addition to
, her general cargo, a large quantity of
firecrackers. These wlil all be cleared
at Portland, and the duty will be very
large. Last Spring the Arabia brought
in. as part cargo, firecrackers on
which Bush & Co. paid the Government
more than $ 100,000 in duty. Several
carloads of the explosives were sent
Kast In bond.

British Bark Engclhorn Reaches
Esquimau In Crippled Condition.
.VICTORIA. B. C, Jan. 30. The Brit
ish bark Kngelhorn, with cement, from
Hamburg for Seattle and Tacoma,
was towed to Esquimau this morning
for survey, ordered by her owners by
cable. The Kngelhorn, which Is 170
days from the German port, encoun
tered a series of heavy gales in lati
tude 57 south and longitude 74.30 west,
beginning November 22, and lost her
foretopmast, which came down when
the ship labored In the heavy sea,
bringing down five yards and all the
rigging.
Joannsen, a Swedish seaman, was on
the foreyard when the wreckage fell
about him. He escaped without in
jury. Another seaman was struck by
a falling block and badly injured. The
ship rolled, rails under. Her cargo
shifted and the decks were flooded.
The shipping seas made difficult the
work of clearing the wreckage, which
battered against the vessel. While
clearing the wreckage a seaman fell
off the foreyard, but escaped without
injury. Another sailor was almost
washed overboard, being thrown into
the scuppers and cut severely.
The sallmakcr, George Hayward, an
Aemrlcan. died suddenly when oft fbe
North Falkland Island, and was burie"d
at sea.

Seattle Railway, for permission to close
half of the channel of the Willamette

above St. John. Mr. Atkinson requested
the Engineer's office to permit him to
construct falsework in one side of the

struction of the draw lor the new
brldgp-
At the conference yesterday a num
ber of river men and steamboat own
ers were questioned as to the advisa
bility of closing half of the channel.
They agreed that It would hamper the
movement of steamers. Mr. Atkinson
said that he could wove the steel on
barges, but that the work would be
greatly advanced by the construction
of falsework. Colonel Koessler decided
that the channel could not be closed.

At the first opportune mohient the
Senator, accompanied by the two Con
gressmen from Oregon, will ask for a
hearing before the House committee
on judiciary, and. If given the oppor
tunity, will present the reasons which
Justify the creation of a new judicial
district in their state. The present
congested condition of the Oregon
District Court, and the inability of a
single judge to handle all the cases as
They arise are given as ample justi
fication for the division of the state
as proposed. Tha-t was done in Wash-
I .' 4 ' . V I
X
lngton a few years ago, and the wis
dom of tho legislation has since been
more than demonstrated. The Oregon
court is today tn as bad condition as
the Washington court when that state
was made into two districts.
The House committee will not be as
favorably disposed towards this legis
lation as was the Senate committee,
for the House leaedera Intend to hold
down all legislation carrying appro
priations, and this bill comes within
the scope of those against - which ob
jection will be raised. However, the
Oregon men feel that the facta abso
lutely justify a division of the state,
and argue that tho expense to the
Government will be slight, whereas the
benefits to the state and its citizens
will be great. Senator Fulton has con
siderable hope that his bill may be
passed by the House, though he is fully
aware that it will require a stiff fight
to get it through.
PLANS PRODUCE EXCHANGE
MAINTAINED IX CONNECTION
WITH BOARD OF TRADE.
New President of Organization Will
Make Innovation for Benefit of
Business Men of the City.
T. S. Townsend, president of the Board
of Trade, is planning an innovation in the
workings of that body, which will, he
hopes, supply Portland with the produce
exchange that it has long needed.
As soon as the Board moves to its new
quarters in the Commercial Club Build
ing, a Toom will be set apart for the use
of the produce merchants of the city,
where prices may be regulated on a busi
ness basis. The room will be provided
with tables for the use of the different
trades and the prices there fixed will be
posted on a blackboard. The intention is
to Invite all the members of the local
produce trade to be present each day at
the noon hour for conference.
The butter, egg, poultry, livestock, grain
and other merchants will have separate
tables where their discussions will not
be interrupted. "When they reach a con
clusion as to what the day's prices should
be, these prices will be handed to the
secretary for posting.
There is much , confusion in the produce
markets at present because of the lack of
uniformity In current prices. Kfforts
have been made in the past to get the
different interests together; but without
success. Mr. Townsend' s plan offers an
easy solu tion of the difficulty, and the
business men with whom he has talked
on the subject indorse the Idea. It offers
a convenient place and time for the fix
ing of uniform prices that will be based
on actual market conditions of supply
and demand. In its operations the board
room will be conducted on the plan of
the exchanges in Eastern cities, where
business could not be conducted but on
some such arrangement.
Mr. Townnd's idea Is that the Board
of Trade should work for the good of
Portland and Oregon, Instead of wasting
its energies in lines of no practical benefit,
and his administration promises to be an
active one.
MAKE HOBO GOOD CITIZEN
President of Associated Charities
Criticises Portland Police,
PORTLAND, Or.. Jan. 28. (To the Ed
itor.) The startling news, resembling great
ly some of the news of the approaching
Japanese-American war, that has just
been brought to our Police Department by
two hobos from Puget Sound that Portland
Is threatened by an "Influx of hobos,"
merits attention. It also gives me a long
desired opportunity to pay my respects to
a certain police idea that Is prevalent all
over the country that the best way to
make a good citizen of a penniless man is
to conduct him to the city boundary and
kick him over the line.
Seattle "rushes' all the poor men it can
And out of its borders in all years except
census years. Tacoma employs Its police
force to escort the procession of needy ones
across the city and "hustles" them along.
Portland policemen find themselves unable
to hunt out and arrest murderers, robbers
and highwaymen because their time Is fully
taken up by escorting needy men to the
borders of Sellwood, heading them toward
Milwaukie, Salem, Ashland and San Fran
cisco, and encouraging them onward with a
kick. In every other civilized country on
the face of the earth enlightened police
administration strives to domicile a man
and his family, to encourage him to have a
home and a residence, and the need of this
Is so evident that every effort is made to
restrain the wandering tendency, even tho
passport system being adopted In many
countries.
Now, the trouble with tho police admin
istration In the United States generally Is
that it is too fond of the wealth -producing
criminal on the one hand and too hard on
the penniless man on the other. It wor
ships the "almighty dollar" too much. The
professional beggar who makes money can
be found on every corner. The gambler
and tho prostitute whose labors bring in
revenue meet generally with very charitable
treatment. Public opinion compels a cer
tain amount of suppression, but it goes
against the grain of the oadlnary police
department, while the pennileie convict, re
leased after serving his term, is generally
hounded to his death by the police powers, and
the penniless man is kicked along his un
happy way. A thoughtless community is
apt to sympathize with this police tend
ency. It prefers to drive a suffering dog
around the corner so that he may die out
of sight asd the neighbor have the trouble
of removing the body.
The Associated Charities has done more
in the last few months to preserve the
peace and order of this city than It has
done for years before. It has given work
to workingmen and has frightened hobos
away by the same token. No hobo ever
works or lingers In a city where he has to

VERY FIRST BAD SIGNS
SERIOUS KIDNEY TROUBLES
FELT IN THE BACK.
Prescription Which Anyone Can
Prepare at Home to Overcome
Kidney Disease.
Take care of backache. A great
many cases of kidney complaint are
reported about hern, also , bladder
trouble and rheumatism.
An authority once stated that pain
In the back, loins or region of the
kidneys is the danger signal nature
hangs out to notify the sufferer that
there is something wrong with the
kidneys, which should receive imme
diate attention. Only vegetable treat
ment should be administered and ab
solutely no strongly alcoholic patent
medicines, which are harmful to the
kidneys and bladder.
The following prescription, while
simple, harmless and Inexpensive, is
known and recognized as a sovereign
remedy for kidney complaint. The in
gredients can be obtained at any good
prescription pharmacy and any one
can mix them: Compound Kargon, one
ounce; Fiuid Extract Dandelion, one
half ounce; Compound - Syrup Sarsa
parllla, three ounces. Shake well in a
bottle and take in teaspoonful doses
after each meal and at bedtime.
This preparation Is said to restore
the natural function of the kidneys,
so they will sift and strain the poi
sonous , waste matter, uric acid, etc.,
from the blood, purifying it and re
lieving rheumatism. Backache will be
relieved, the urine will be neutralized
and cleared and no longer a cause of
Irritation, thereby . overcoming such
symptoms as weak bladder, painful,
frequent and other urinary difficulties.
This is worth trying and may prove
just what many people Here need.
work. "We have been free from beggars.
except the professional ones on the street
corners who make money, our men who
are working are not In dress suits. They
are ragged ana bare, perhaps some or tnem
try to shirk, a little. They look bad, but
not so bad as one would think. People
looking at them hastily might say they
were hobos, but a funny incident shows
how prone people are to Judge hastily. The
other day on the street a man pointed out
a group of men slowly walking along as
"City Board of Charities hoboa," Ho com
mented on their tough appearance and lazy
ways and was severe on the board for en
couraging such men to remain in town. He
nearly fainted when he was told that it
was a United States District Court jury out
for a little exercise.
If there are any hobos among our work
in er men they are' In plain sight every day.
The police can arrest them, but for heaven's
sake if they disguise themselves aa working
men and actually work, let them aloae It
may become a habit.

I TREAT MEN
TO EFFECT A
No class of human ailments is
so little understood among the
profession today as the diseases
pecuHur to men. As a result the
method commonly employed in
treating them are but relics of
earlier periods in medical science.
I have departed from every form
of treatment that my own experi
ence and research have proven In-"
effective and unscientific. I have
replaced them with orjginal and
thoroughly modern methods that
have proven supremely effective.
Every detail of my procedure In
each individual case is based upon
accurate knowledge as to condi
tions and requirements, and my
cures are duplicated by no other
physician or specialist.
My Fee for
a Thorough
Cure Is Only
I GIVE INDIVIDUAL TREATMENT
I wish to make one point distinct and emphatic: The remedies em
ployed in treating: my patients are prescribed and compounded to meet
the exact requirements of each indivldua.1 case. Every patient of mine
can rest assured that the treatment he receives is not of the "ready
made" kind. I make a special study of every case I treat, note all con
ditions In the beginning; note all developments as the cure progresses,
and so alter my remedies as to accomplish just what my knowledge
and trained perception tell me must be accomplished. After diagnos
ing' your case I will know Just what you need.
WEAKNESS
Dosing the svstem with powerful stimulants and tonics In an effort
to restore functional vigor can have but one final result: The condi
tion is rendered worse than before. "Weakness" is merely an Indi
cation of a low form of Inflammation in the prostate gland, and this
inflammation is but aggravated by stimulating remedies that excite
temporary activity. I emplov the only scientific and fully effective
treatment for Weakness," which effects a permanent cure by restor
ing the prostate gland to a sound and healthy state. I obtain com
plete results in every case I treat.
CONTRACTED DISORDERS
In the -treatment of contracted disorders I offer a service such as
no other physician can render. The remedies I employ have a most
thorough. and positive action in cleansing the membranes of all infec
tion and subduing all inflammation.
EXAMINATION AND ADVICE FREE
I offer not only FREE consultation and advice, but of every case
that comes to me I will make a careful examination and diagnosis
without charge. No ailing man should neglect this .opportunity to
. get expert opinion about his trouble.
