ORIENTAL LINER
ALESIA IN PORT
Brings Lightest Cargo of the
Season From Cities in
the Far East.
DUTIES -WILL BE SHORT
Government Will Receive Less Than
$10,000 Largest Items on Man
ifest Pineapples and Matting.
ws of tlie Waterfront.
The steamship Alesia of the Portland &
Asiatic Steamship Company, . entered at
the local Custom-House yesterday with a
very light cargo from the Orient. Both
in point of value and the quantity the
cargo was .light. It was a. great dis
appointment as a- heavy shipment was ex
pected to arrive on the Alesia. The duties
which will be paid will be less than $10,000
s compared with $200,000 which has been
paid on many of the cargoes which have
reached Portland via the regular liners.
The major part of the cargo will be
cleared at Portland. There is, on the
manifest 1000 cases of pineapples which
will be cleared at Portland and forwarded
to Chicago free of bond. ,A large quantity
o the matting on the Alesia will also
lie cleared from this port and forwarded
to destination out of bond. With all this
the returns from duties will be very
nhort. The Nicomedia came in light but
the Portland Custom-House was J20.000
richer by the receipts from the cargo.
Since the opening of the Portland &
Asiatic Steamship line between Portland
and Oriental ports as light a cargo as
that on the Alesia has not been received.
Where the trouble lies is not known.
Iarge quantities of fire crackers are due
here. and sulphur, rice and matting are
in demand. Freight offerings for the far
East are ligliti and both the Nicomedia
and the Alexia will leave out with more
lumber and less general freight than for
some time past.

ENGINEERS' STRIKE IS NEAR
Steam Schooner Owners Cannot
Reach Terms With Association.
SAX FRANCISCO. Feb. 7. The meeting
this afternoon between representatives of
the steam schooner owners of San Fran
cisco and a committee from the Marine
Engineers' Association was a lively one
n.nd considerable bitterness was shown,
but the meeting closed with no agreement
iiavlng been reached. The committee
from the Engineers' Association will pre
pare a new statcjnent as to the require
ments of the engineers, and the meeting
will be. continued on Monday when this
will be considered.
The owners of steam schooners state
that rates on freight have fallen from
I0.SO to $2 during the last few months, and
that while they are willing to pay the
wages asked by the engineers at the
present time, they are so hedged about
by conditions imposed by the union men
that they cannot afford it. One of these
conditions is the requirement that all
steam schooners carry three engineers,
nnd that overtime be paid-. after certain
hours of each day. Regulations regarding
shore leave and other-things are also a
point of difference.
Indications now are that unless some
agreement is reached early in the coming
week a strike will be called, as the
owners are determined to eliminate some
of the regulations they claim are unfair.
Other unions, such, as the sailors and
the stevedores, may be drawn into the
trouble.
There are about 40 steam schooners
lying idle at East Oakland for want of
cargoes to carry nt the present time.

PROTEST IS TARDY
Councilman Vaughn Assails
Dekum-Avenue Contract.
THINKS WORK BADLY DONE
Says Priee Was Exorbitant and Also
- Charges That Gravel Was Unlaw
fully Removed From the
Street by Workmen.
"Highway robbery" is the way Coun
cilman Vaughn refers to the contract
price of 54 cents a cubic foot for re
moving dirt on the Dekum avenue grad
ing job, the work having" been done by
Stephens Bros, and Harry Howard. Mr.
Vaughn lives on the thoroughfare, and
declares that he will be forced to pay
J307 for worn, which he could have had
done on his own account for $50. He
also charges that Harry Howard "mined'
the gravel from Dekum avenue and un
lawfully carted it to Going street, where
it was used in improving that thorough
fare. City Engineer Taylor and Inspector
George F. Bodman are involved in Mr.
Vaughn's charges as they had charge
of the city's interests. Both hold that
the job Is well done. The charges toy Mr.
Vaughn were made before the street
committee of the council yesterdav.
After a long discussion, during which
Councilman Vaughn left the chair to ex
plain why he had not protested against
tne Improvement, the committee voted
to go in a body to view the street at 2
o clock next Tuesday afternoon. On its
findings will depend whether they will
authorize payment for the job- Some
contend that the council has no power
to stop payment, the work having been
let according to the provisions of the
charter, and having been accepted by
the city engineer. If the Executive Board
accepts the work, it is said, the city
must pay.
There is the greatest possible difference
between the declarations of Councilman
Vaughn and of a large number of his
constituents who live along Dekum five
nue and City Engineer Taylor and In
spector Bodman. One side, alleges not
only poor work and failure to follow the
specifications, but actual theft of gravel
from Dekum avenue. The other side as
serts with great emphasis that the job is
a good one and that the gravel was not
removed to any great extent.
"I did not protest the improvement be
cause of the fact that I was a member
of the council," declared Mr. Vaughn
after leaving the chair. "I did not want
to act because I did not wish to enter
Into any controversy wherein I would
have to argue a personal matter before
my colleagues, but I will say that during
the grading of Dekum avenue I saw that
the workmen were going below grade
that they were 'mining' gravel from our
thoroughfare and screening jt, after
wards hauling it to Going street, where
It was used. I personally warned the
foreman and also notified the city en
gineer at least a half-dozen times; but
got no help. After removing the gravel
from the avenue the contractor filled up
the holes with dirt, which has left us
a worse thoroughfare than we had before-
the so-called Improvement was
made."
Several residents of DekHm avenue
spoke, corroborating Mr. Vaughn's declar
ations, each one emphatically alleging
tnat tne avenue is in poor condition-
worse than before the contractors aid
the work. They also swore that gravel
was removed by Harry Howard's men
from Dekum avenue and was used on
Going street.
There was no complaint -as to the man
ner in which the work on the eight
blocks of the Job improved by Stephens
Bros, was done, and It was the senti
ment of the members of the committee
that this bill should be paid. It cannot
be paid, however, without Howard's bill
being included, as the contract was let
in a lump.
"I believe that our system of street
Improvements is all wrong," declared
Councilman Rushlight, a member of the
committee. "The charter provisions in
this matter should be altered and the
evils of our system remedies, and I feel
that H is the duty of the council to' initi
ate this reform. It ought to be so that
when a contractor finishes a block of
work that lie can get his money from
the city without having to go to the
brokers for money, for which he has to
pay a high rate of interest. This makes
him bid higher and in the end the tax
payers have to stand the expense."
Mr. Rushlight expressed himself of the
opinion that Harry Howard should be
compelled to repair any part of the work
that Is found to be imperfect, but How
ard declared he was done with the Job;
that it had been accepted by the city
engineer and that he would do no more
on it.
LEADER OF GANG CAUGHT
"Del" Haywood, Accused of Hills
dale Robbery, in Jail.
"Del" . Haywood, the leader of the
trio . of youthful highwaymen who
robbed Postmaster Merser of, $90 at
Hillsdale last Monday night, was ar
rested at Mount Angel," near Wood
burn, ar.d lodged in the County Jail
yesterday morning by Deputy United
States Marshall Terry. Deputy Mar
shall Griffith and Deputy Sheriff
Bulger then went to Haywood's home,
near Fulton, and secured the revolver
which was used in the hold-up. A full
confession was secured from Haywood
yesterday by the Sheriff.
Haywood admitted not only having
held up the Hillsdale postmaster, but
also a man on the Macadam road last
Saturday night. In the latter hold
up Haywood says he and his two ac
complices secured nothing-. They went
to Hillsdale to hold up the postoffice
on that night, but when they arrived
they found the store ' and postoffice
closed. Returning, they- met the lone
pedestrian, and, ordering him to throw
up his hands, went through his
pockets.
Haywood will be tried in the Federal
Court for the postoffice robbery.
QUARTERLY MEETING HELD

W. C. T. U. was held yesterday at the
Rodney-Avenue Christian Church, begin
ning at 10 A. M. After the devotional
exercises conducted by Mrs. Ida Barkley,
the state superintendent, the subject of
"Peace and Unity" was presented by the

and discourageing the war spirit and mili
tarism by showing the need of heroism
in daily life among others in our own
country.
Mrs. M. Tj. Hidden talked on Tier depart
ment of "Purity in Literature and Art,"
showing the need of good literature for
the children, and also chaste and artistic
pictures. Mrs. M. E. Fullilove sang a
solo which was greatly enjoyed.
The afternoon session opened with de
votions by Mrs. M. El Fullilove. Mrs. M.
M. Sleeth presented the subject "What is
Oregon's Greatest Need?" She said. "We
have 105 unions to spread our influence
over this great atate. Women and money
are the great needs. The forces of evil
are organized as never before and we
must continue to fight them." She gave a
thrilling account of her experiences in
Eastern Oregon, where she has been on a
lecture tour recently. She made an
eloquent plea for help. Mrs. M. E. Hoxter
told of her experiences in a tour through
the same region, years ago.
The work in the Sunday schools was
next discussed by Mrs. Hanson and others,
who told of ways of Interesting the
clu'ldren. After another beautiful solo by
Mrs. Fullilove, Mrs. M. L. Hidden talked,
in the absence of Mrs. Leo, on the subject
"Anti-Narcotics,!' declaring that the use
of tobacco leads young men to the use of
intoxicating liquor. She spoke of the
danger to the girls who are also contract
ing the habit. She gave instances of the
evil effects of inhaling the fumes of to
bacco on women and children.
"Mothers' meetings" was the last sub
Ject. Several talked emphasizing the
correct training or the children.
Mrs. Hanson spoke of the evil caused
by saying "don't" too much. The re
eponsjbility of both fathers and mothers
was emphasized., Mrs. Roper gave a
touching account of the funeral of a
young sailor held in the Seamen's In
stitute.
Resolutions were passed indorsing the
suppression of poolrooms; asking the
observance by the pastors of one Sunday
evening In a month for the temperance
work in each church, and thanking the
oaney-Avenue Christian Church for its
use for. the sessions. . '

The Scientific Treatment of
Weakness
Dosing the system 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 indica
tion of a low form of inflammation in the prostate gland, and this in
flammation is but aggravated by stimulating remedies that excite tem
porary activity. I employ the only scientific and fully effective treat
ment for "weakness." which- effects a permanent cure by restoring the
prostate gland to a sound and healthy state. I obtain complete results
in every case I treat. Interesting literature and a beautifully engraved
chart free if you will call.
Examination Free
I offer not only KREE consultation and advice, but of every case that
comes to me I will make a careful e.xaminatlon and diagnosis without
charge. No ailing man should neglect this opportunity to get expert
opinion about his trouble.

as to the means to attain the end
Now let me tell you why I happened
to write this testimonial. A year ago I
-was threatened with grave stomach
trouble from an incipient inflammation.
I tried a bottle of Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey, taking a tablespoonful, heav
ily diluted with water, before each meal.
It made me well. I wrote the Duffy
Malt Whiskey Company and they asked
permission to use my testimonial. I
then wrote the testimonial above re
