THIRD SHIP FOR FEBRUARY Exports In Excess of Those of the First Five Days of January Out look Good for. Record-Breaking Month Marine Notes. The British eteamshlp St. Hugo, with ISS.loO bushels of wheat for the United Kingdom or the Continent, cleared yester day from the local CuBtoms House. The St. Hugo will proceed by way of Port 6aid and will receive her orders at that place. The St Hugo left down at noon yesterday and will proceed to sea today. The St. Hugo Is the third of the Febru ary grain fleet to get away. The pace was set by the Baron Cawdor, which cleared on the first day of the month with 2.10.3S9 bushels of wheat. The second car rier to get away was the German bark Kelnbek,- which cleared with 159.S21 bush els of -wheat. The clearance of the St. Hugo brings the shipments for the month up to 676,610 bushels. For a corresponding period during January the shipments to taled 351,963 bushels of wheat and 10,002 barrels of flour. There Is sufficient ton nage in port to permit exporters to break all records for February in the way of praln exports. The tonnage in port Is fully double that of last year at the pres ent time, and from the present outlook the shipments for this month will exceed those of January. The number of vessels to clear during February will be smaller than that of the preceding month but the tonnage will be greater. Steamships were scarce dur ing January but a goodly number will be dispatched during the present month. BRIDGE OPERATOR IS SLOW Accident Narrowly Averted at the . . Morrison-Street Brldgre. Failure on the part of the operator on the Morrison-street bridge to open the draw on time came near causing an ac cident which would have resulted in the destruction of the bridge. The prompt action of Pilot Harry mken saved the county and city a large sum of money. The British steamship Mortlake was bound up the river. She was proceeding up stream at about four knots, only suf ficient speed to keep her under control. The pilot signaled for the draw of the Morrison-street bridge. It failed to open and when the steamer was within a boat's length of the draw the atttendants per mitted a car to run on the draw. Cap tain Eniken promptly signaled full speed astern and ordered the anchors let go. The headway of the vessel was checked but pile swung around and narrowly missed crashing into the steamer Bailey Gatzert. which was lying at the Alder street dock. SXAKE RIVER CLEAR OF ICE Steamers Pcsume .Operations Be- - twecn Riparla and Lewiston. Snake River has cleared of Ice and the steamers operating between Riparia and lewiston will resume operations this morning. The delay incident to ice has been slight and not one of the fleet has been tied up. The Yakima, which struck a rock at Diamond Crossing, has been raised and will be in commission within a lew days. There is still enough wheat on Shake River unmoved to keep the three steamers working until the new-crop is ready to move. Between Asotin and Almota there is close to 600,000 bushels. The water is rising and a heavy movement is expected within a few days. WEATHER STATION AT COOS Government to Build at Coos Bay on Recommendation of Forecaster. Acting on the advice of District Fore cast official E. A. Beals. the Weather Bureau has directed the establishment of a station at the entrance to Coos Bay. Mr. Beals will shortly go south to select a site for the station and to recommend the appointment of an observer. The shipping Interests of Coos Bay ports have developed to such an extent that the harbor has become one of the shelter ports on .the coast. The Government has established buoys and aids to navigation. Change in Lighthouse-Keeper. ASTORIA, Or., Feb. 6. Notice was re ceived here that Chief Engineer Wilson of the lighthouse tender Heather has been appointed keeper of the Yaqulna Light station and First Assistant En gineer McGregor of the Heather has been promoted to the position of chief on that vessel.

Mrs. Maggie Brock, wife of C. T. Brock of Sellwood, passed away qujetly at her home at 631 Spokane avenue, on January 31, after a protracted illness. Mrs. Brock was born in Wolcott, Wayne county. New York, and had spent nearly thirty years in Oregon and Washington. The last four years of her life were spent at the Sellwood home. Her first illness was contracted at Stella, Washington, eight years ago; but though a determined fight was waged against the ravages of con sumption by travel and tent life at sea coast and in the desert, a rapid decline began last October. The end was long anticipated. She was a thoughtful, un selfish, loving wife and mother. Her exemplary Christian character made her a model patient during her Invalid days. She was always more thought ful of others than of herself. Her last days were spent quietly, patiently waiting for the end. Services "were held at Findle's Chapel and her re mains were laid away at Rose City Cemetery last Monday. She leaves a husband and two daughters to mourn her loss. A. FRIEND.

BANANA TRUST IS DOOMED II WEST Corporation Organized in Pa cific Northwest Plans to Capture Trade. PRICES TO BE CUT IN HALF Company Composed of Portland Seattle Capitalists Will Also Ship in Better Frit it From Mexico Within a Few Weeks. The United Fruit Company of Boston, otherwise known as the "banana trust,'.' is virtually down and out, so far as do ing business in this section of the coun try is concerned. A rival has entered the field and in a few weeks will be supply ing all the Pacific states with bananas. And the bananas will not only be far superior in quality to those dumped on these markets by the trust, but they will sell at half the price. The new company that is preparing to put the big Eastern monopoly out of business is the Mexican-Pacific Company, and its organizers are Portland and Seat tle capitalists. It is said on good au thority that the company is backed by J. P. Morgan and his associates, and that its territory will not be limited to the Pacific Coast, and that It will ultimately invade the stronghold of the trust 'in the East. President Portland Man. The president of the Mexican-Pacific Company is George !. Campbell, of Port land, a member of the grain firm, the Campbell-Sanford-Henley Company. The general manager is T. Frank Ryan, of Seattle, the head of the Ryan Banana Messenger Service, a company that has handled the banana business of the Northwest Tor several years. The new company owns half a million acres of rich banana land in Mexico, a few miles back . of Acapulco. A large tract of this land has already been planted to bananas, the first of which will come into, bearing next Fall. To pro vide a sufficient quantity of fruit in the meantime, the company has closed a lease on several large banana plantations at Mazatlan. These Mazatlan bananas have hereto fore been shipped to San Francisco on the Pacific Mall liners, but as the service was unsatisfactory, the planters, when their contracts expired at the end of last year, turned their business over to Mr. Camp bell's company.. Import Mexican Fruit. The fruit of the Mexican-Pacific Com pany will be brought from Mazatlan and Acapulco to San Pedro and there placed in regular banana cars for distribution to the Coast markets. Two lines of serv ice have been provided for, one to Salt Lake and Butte and the other to San Francisco, Sacramento, Portland, Ta coma, Seattle, and Spokane. A distribut ing agent will be located in each of these cities. The Portland agent will be Rich ard L. Hesking. A fleet of steamers, to be increased as the trade Justifies it, will be chartered for the run between the Mexican ports and San Pedro. The first vessel secured is the German Steamship Use, of 929 tons, Captain Jensen, which sailed from San Francisco January 25, on her first trip to the Mexican Coast. She will carry 20,000 bunches of bananas and will make the round-trip every ten days. The pro moters of the company hope eventually to have a daily service. , The United Fruit Company, and its dis tributing partner, the Fruit Dispatch Company, of New York, which have long enjoyed the monopoly of the banana busi ness of the United States, brought most of their fruit from Bluefields, in Central America, to New Orleans. Methods of the Trust. Whatever may be the quality of the bananas they sold in the Eastern states, the fruit they forced the people of the West to buy was most unsatisfactory. Their arbitrary methods also made them exceedingly unpopular with the trade, but it was a case of taking their second qual ity, bananas at outrageous prices or doing without. The distance by water from Acapulco to San Pedro Is no greater than from Blue- fields to New Orleans and the Pacific trip is the better one for fruit handling. The railroad time from New Orleans to Port land, however, is 10 to 14 days, while bananas can be brought from San Pedro to this city in four or five days. . With a smaller first cost there will also be 60 per cent less freight to pay and a posi tive assurance that the bananas will ar rive in first-class condition. The miserable fruit now broueht to Portland from Central America has to be sold in the stores at 30 to 35 cents a dozen to satisfy the greed of the Eastern ban ana combine, while the West Coast prod uct will retail at about 15 cents a dozen and because of the short time in transit is certain to be In prime order. The cheapness and better quality of the ban anas are bound to increase their consump tion. About 900 cars of bananas a year are Men, Isn't This Best?

LOUIS MEDICAL AND SURGICAL DISPENSARY COCXF.B SECOND MD 1'A.VHIIX STREETS, PORTLAND, OREGON. WEAK FROM SUFFERING UNABLE TO PER FORM WORK Discouraged After Spending Money Without Benefit Found Mr. Earl McCoy, living at 1506 S. Branson Street, Marlon, Ind., has passed through an experience that is being duplicated every day In every town and city of any consequence in the United States. It furnishes abundant proof of the correctness of LvJT. Cooper's theory in regard to the degeneracy of the hu man stomach, and shows conclusively the merit possessed by his New Dis covery medicine to restore the weak ened system to full strength and vigor. Mr. McCoy says: "For a long time I have been a sufferer from stomach trouble. I was unable to retain any food, and became so weak and run down that I was compelled to stop work. My system wasnearly a wreck, and I had tried so many remedies and spent !o, much money without deriving any benefit,, that I became discouraged and used In the Pacific Northwest. In the 13 months end in ir Ortnhpr 1 lr ty, p the Tegular banana season, the banana receipts of the Northwestern cities were Portland, 23S cars; Seattle, 269 cars; Spo kane, 162 cars: Tacoma. 111 ot- Van couver. B. C. 109 cars. Under the now der ef things, it is safe to say these five tines wm use low to zuoo cars of bananas annually: It Is understood that Morgan and other Eastern financiers, who are said to be interested in the Mexican-Pacific Com pany, are planning to build a railroad from Acapulco to the City of Mexico, which road will be the outlet for the bananas that will be sent into the Eastern states in competition with the product of io uuiiuu rruit company. The Mexican-Pacific Cnmnanv will nni .confine its attention to the growing and marketing of bananas alone but will also raise pineapples, cocoanuts, limes and other tropical fruits. Several shipments of its limes have already been received in the local market. FORGE HRIffl TO ACT SOUTH PORTLAND MANUFAC TURERS LOSE PATIENCE. Plan Appeal to Railroad Commis sion to Compel Connection With the Front-Street Line: Appeal will be made to the Oregon Railroad Commission within a few days, it is expected, by the manufac turers of South Portland "to force the Southern Pacific Company to permit the United Railways to make a con nection with its tracks In the southern part of the city. So far the Southern Pacific has refused both the United Railways and the manufacturers this connection. As a last resort the rafl road commission will be asked to step in and force the Southern Pacific to come to terms. At a meeting held yesterday at the offices of the Portland Lumber Com pany, and largely 'attended, by South Portland manufacturers, this plan of action was determined upon. Those present at the meeting expressed them selves freely on the subject and the speeches made were far from compli mentary to the Harriman lino. W F. Dillon of the Gold Medal Shingle Company presided, being chair man of a committee of manufacturers appointed to interview the officials of the Southern Pacific requesting the connection. The work of this com mittee has so far been barren of re sults, the Southern Pacific refusing the request on the ground that from its point of view there will be no advan tage to the Southern Pacific in making the connection. "The Southern Pacific people tell us Itching', disfiguring eruptions, rashes, boils, etc., as well as pimples, black-heads and rough, scaly skin, show the presence of some irritating humor in the blood. These acids and humors with which the blood is infected are being constantly thrown off through the pores and glando of the skin, and the flesh is kept in an inflamed, diseased and unsightly con dition. Nothing applied externally can change the condition of the blood or prevent the outflow of these burning acids ; only constitutional treatment can do this. Washes, cftlves, lotions, etc,, cannot reach the humor-laden blobd, and are therefore useless, except for the temporary cotnlort and clean-, liness they afford. The acid poison in the blood must be removed before a cure can be effected. S. S. S. is a real blood purifier, possessing all the requirements necessary to neutralize and remove the humors from the circu lation. It completely, eradicates every trace of impurity and restorethis vitJ fluid to its natural healthy state. S. S. S. cools the acid-heated blood so that instead of pouring out acrid matter on the skin, it feeds and nour ishes it with health-sustaining properties, and then the eruptions and diseases of the skin pass away.

Help at Last gave up hope of ever being well again. "I heard a great deal of Mr. Cooper's theory and medicine, and after much hesitation decided to try it. The re sult was a pleasant surprise. Before I had taken half of the first bottle I wan able. to retain all food eaten, and my strength began to return. I have taken six or seven bottles, and am feeling fine. I eat and sleep well, do not. cough at night, and am able to perform a hard day's work. I can cheerfully recom mend Cooper's New Discovery, for it has done wonders for me." The Cooper remedies are meeting with remarkable success wherever they are introduced. They are without a rival in toning up a weakened and run-down system. We sell them. The Skidmore Drug Co., Portland, Or. Huntley Bros. Co., agents at Oregon City. there Is nothing there to warrant a connection," said one of the manufac turers yesterday, "but we think there is sufficient business to justify it. There are numerous large manufac turing plants in our vicinity and they all need this connection. "The Southern Pacific says it will not benefit by a connection with the Uni ted Railways, but I cannot see why it will not. There is no reason that I know, of for the. Southern Pacific to haul Its freight from South Portland around by Sheridan in order to get it to the North Portland terminal yards. This Is what the company has to do with every car under the present ar rangement. If connecting tracks are put in this freight can be hauled di rectly across the city on the Front street line-" It was supposed when the franchises for the Front street line were given that this feature of the new line would be one of its chief benefits; that it would open the South Portland manu facturing district, which has been bot tled up for years and has only one out let, that by the Southern Pacific's West Side lines. With the Front street line of the United Railways reaching the mills in that district the manufacturers could reach the North Portland ter minal and have direct access to all the railroads entering Portland. The manufacturers do not want to appeal to the railroad commission for this connection between the United Railways and Southern Pacific tracks, but say they will do so if forced to the action by the Harriman lines. BLUE LAW IS DEFEATED St. John Council Refuses to Extend Sunday Closing. The poolroom closing ordinance, which had been peiiding for several "weeks be fore the St. John Council, was defeated Tuesday night. The vote stood: Ayes Leggett, Walker: noes King, Peterson, Llnquist, Jobes. Doble. Councilman Leg gett introduced the ordinance after a pe tition bad been filed with the Council asking that an ordinance be passed closing poolrooms, skating rinks and bowling alleys on Sunday. Prices on rock crushers were suo mitted. Prices ranged from $2100 to 12500. or $4000 with bunkers ready to operate. An agent offered to sell the city a 7-ton steam roller for $2500. The Pacific States Telephone Company announced that it would begin improving its service in St. John at once. A central office will be established and maintained with from 1200 to 1400 telephones.

Why My Specialty Is Men's Diseases And the Reason for My Remarkable Success in Curing These Ailments The study of medicine is as broad as life and as complex as Nature. It is therefore impossible for any individual man to master the treatment of all human ills. The man who attempts to do so is able to cure only the most simple ailments. The ordinary physician is like the man who attempts to master every branch of mechanics, from watchmaking- to shipbuilding. Such a man becomes neither a Rood watchmaker nor a uecessful shipbuilder. The sreneral medi cal practitioner knows as much about one disease as he does about another and he has no Intimate knowledge ot anv. The cures he performs when ho is rortunate enough to cure are usually purely accidental. The patient gets well, not because of the physl- enorts, Dut In pitc of them.. When the ordinary physician treats men s diseases. He RAHELV EFFECTS A CI'RE. I AM A SPECIALIST IX JIEX'S DISEASFIS. ... J1rartc? Is confined wholly to the diseases of men. and the fart that I Invariably cure every case that I accept for treatment PROVES that my methods are correct. Indeed. I have for twentv-flve vrurs made a Specialty of Men s Ailments and have so closely studied tlicm that I am able to meet every phase and condition of each Individual case, and to effect a permanent cure in a very short time. I am never for a moment in doubt as to my course. I know just WHAT to do and HOW to do It. to obtain satisfactory RESULTS. Tills explains why my practice has grown to be by far the largest in the western part of America. So confident am I that I can efTect a thorough and TOASTING Cl'RR in each case that I accept for treatment, that I will. give a Written and Binding GUARANTEE TO CURE YOU, A-M YOU AKED KOT PAY ME A DOLLAR LA'TIL YOU ARB WELU My fee for a Thorough Cure of any Ailment is Bear'ln mind that I could not s mat my treatment would not fail. I am tho only doctor who d;ires to make such m proposition. "LTnder no circumstances do I ever take cases for treatment that are doubtful. Hence, if I accept vour case for treat ment you may absolutely rely upon it that I will cure you. MY METHODS ARE ORIGINAL. Mj methods are entirely original with me, and are the result of many years of special study and experience. Instead of filling my patients up with powerful drugs and stimulants, as do other spe cialists, I apply soothing and healing and absorbent medicines DI RECTLY to the DISEASED REGION, and thus aid Nature in overcom ing the trouble. . The best that human skill can do is to ASSIST NATURE. It is. Nature that performs the cures. PowerfuJ drugs taken through the stomach do not cure. They merely set up a new disturb ance in the system, .which, for a time, diverts the energies from the' old disease to the new attack. This process is invariably attended with a reaction, and In consequence leaves the patient in a worse condition than before treatment. Another method employed by another class of physicians is to dose the sufferer with tonics, which exhilarate the patient so that he actually believes himself Improving under such treat ment. But after a very short time these stimulant medicines ceaso producing the desired effect, when the disease gains a new and firmer grip upon the patient. HOW I CURE. My method of treatment overcomes inflammation and congestion hy aiding the tissues of the diseased region to throw off the poisonous secretions and the deadly toxins caused by disease. Some of these toxins -are more poisonous than the virus of the rattlesnake's fang, and when they reach the heart, produce instant death. Thousands of the cases of sudden death which occur with alarming frequency in every' city In the land, are directly due to toxlo poison, although such cases are usually pronounced "heart failure" or heart disease. My treatment completely eliminates every trace of disease and accumulated poisons from the system, and thus allows Nature to perfect a COMPLETE CURE. DO NOT BE DECEIVED. . My methods have revolutionized tho treatment of ailments peculiar t men, and consequently altered former medical theories. Imitators of .my system of practice ha,ve sprung up everywhere. A pronounced success In any field of human endeavor begets imitators. Following the Genuine, there always come the Counterfeit. These Imitators of mine insist that they cure by mana similar to those I employ. Such . statements are uttered with a base Intent to deceive. The facts are that NO OTHER PHYSICIAN ANYWHERE TREATS MEN'S AILMENTS BY MY METHODS, BECAUSE NO MAN OTHER THAN MYSELF KNOWS THESE METHODS. My Treatment is the ORIGINAL and ONLY GENUINE Direct-Method Treatment for the Diseases of Men. MY MODERN and up-to-date methods effect a certain and speedy cure of SPERMATORRHOEA.
