STEAMER ST.HUGO
TAKES OUT GRAIN
British Vessel Clears With a
Full Cargo of Wheat for
Port Said.
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.

Death of Mrs. Maggie Brock.
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

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

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. Book on Skin Diseases and any medical

"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

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.

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

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

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
