Lighthouse Tender's White Coat
Gives Way to Black Paint.
The lighthouse tender Columbine. Cap
tain Richardson, took on part o her
cargo of supplies for the light . stations
of this district at the Couch-street dock
yesterday, and to the crowd of spectators
assembled on the Burnside bridge watch
ing the trim little craft load, she did not
seem to meet with the approving glances
hitherto bestowod upon her. Until re
cently the vessel Jias always worn a dress
of pure white paint, which was kept
spotless, as are all Government vessels.
At present the Columbine la of a dull
black color and fulls to present her usual
handsome appearance. The change in
color Is due to a .recent order issued by
the chief of the lighthouse service, who
visited the Pacilic Coast a few months
ago, and all the -wessels in that service
have discarded the attractive snowy coat
and now bear a funereal appearance.
The most striking thing about the
Columbine yesterday was the contrast
she presented while; moored adongside
of the Associated Oil Company's tug Nav
igator, Captain C. Mgdeson. for the lat
ter vessel Is one of 'the trimmest craft
of the kind which has ever visited Port
land. The only vessels, to equal the Navi

the big oil barge Monterey in tow, and
will remain here for two or three days

Portsmouth tanks. The tender Colum
bine will remain in the harbor for sev
eral days, and most of that period will
be moored at the CoBich-street dock,
where she will load supplies for the dif
ferent stations.
This Is the tirst time tte Columbine has
worn any other color than wjilte since
the Spanish-American 'War, Nien she
wore a drab color for several months.

Officials of German-American Bank
Report Steady Reduction of De
funct Institution's Indebted- ..
ness Under the Agreement.
About one-fourth of the J2.000.0O) due
the creditors of the Oregon rust & Sav
ings Bank already has been wiped out
by the German-American Bank, which
took over the assets of the defunct in
stitution and agTeed to meet its liabili
ties. This is considered a remarkably
grood showing, considering the fact that
the bank, under the merger, has been
open only a month and was allowed two
years by the court in which to meet the
claims against the old bank. With about
$500000 in indebtedness already wiped out
by means of establishing offsets and by
turning certificates of deposit in the old
bank in forstock in the new German-American
Bank, the decreasingof the Bank's lia
bilities is steadily progressing through the
delivery of bonds to depositors in the de
funct Oregon Trust who subscribed for
bonds to the amounts of their deposits.
Bond deliveries are made dally between
the hours of 10 A. M. and 12 noon. Trus
tee certificates have been issued and are
delivered to those who signed for broken
denominations of bonds. Those who take
the original denominations of the secur
ities are given the original bonds, al
though many prefer the trustee certifi
cates, as in that case the bank retains
tiie bonds and the owner does not stand
to lose the securities through accident or
Are.,
Bonds signed for by creditors of the
bank, the bulk of which are securities
f. the Home Telephone companies of
Tacoma, Omaha and Portland, total
about $725,000. The bank officials are de
voting much of their time to expediting
this bond delivery and the bulk of the se
curities, or the certificates, will be in the
hands of the subscribers within a short
time.
Meanwhile depositors in uie 'wCL tkiotiiu
tion having claims of not more than $oG
are being paid off rapidly and soon the
bank will commence paying claims not
exceeding $100. Larger claims will be
paid still later. ,
"From the progress we have made, it
'appears likely that ail liabilities of the
old Oregon Trust & Savings Bank will
have been wiped out long before the
time limit expires," said t Receiver Dev
lin, of the defunct bank, who is also
cashier of the new institution. ' 4Our de
posits are constantly increasing, many
new accounts are being opened, and we
feel greatly encouraged. The new bank
is doing a splendid business and every
thing looks bright. The best of feeling!
prevails and there appears to be general
con tide nee in the new institution.

BIES IN THE CITY JAIL
DRCSKES PRISONER FAXLiS
VICTIM OF PXEUMOXIA.
JLi. Hall, Said to Be, From Astoria,
Found Dead After Eighteen
Hours' Imprisonment.
A man who gave the name of L. Hall
and who was arrested by Policeman Ab
bott, of the second night relief, at 6:30
o'clock yesterday morning in the bt.
Charles Hotel on , the complaint of the
bote, proprietors for being drunk and
disorderly, died yesterday afternoon at
about 3:30 o'clock in the City Jail, unat
tended by a physician. Little could be
learned about the man save tfrat he is
said to live in Astoria and to be con
nected in some way with the Hall Flexi
ble Car Axle Company. His address in
this city or how long he had been here
is unknown.
Hall's death was the result of a cold
which developed into pneumonia., con
tracted while on a protracted spree. A
post-mortem under the direction of Cor
oner Finley revealed the fact that the
man's life could not have been saved.
As far as is known. Hall, although not
a guest there, staggered into the St.
Charles and was so rough in his . talk
and actions that the police were ap
pealed to. He was placed in the drunk
cell. An hour later, when Captain
Moore went into the prison to turn out
the "simple drunks," as is the usual cus
tom at this hour ' in the morning. Hall
was sitting up in his cell. He asked
Captain Moore for a drink of water, and
on being questioned replied that he was
all right except for the effects of his
drunk.
There was nothing in his appearance
or actions to indicate that he was other
than merely drunk. His name was
placed on the transcript to go before
the court, but at 9 o'clock when Jailer
Branch went to escort him before
Judge Cameron, he was found unable
to go. Shortly after this the man lay
down and apparently fell asleep.
According to the usual routine, the
man would have been held over until
the following morning to appear be
fore the court, and Jailer Branch
thought the man was in a drunken
eleep and reported the prison all O. K.
at 3 o'clock, when he went off duty.
At 3:30 o'clock. Captain Moore went
into the jail to take a look at all hands
before formally turning over his com
mand to Captain Siover, of the first
night relief, and noticing that the man
was still apparently asleep, opened the
cell door and tried to arouse him, and
then found that he was dead.
The City Physician was called, and
the body was removed to the Coroner's
office. The inquiry of the Coroner into
the case failed to attach any blame to
anyone in connection with the man's
death. It was plainly evident, the phy
sician said, that the man had been on
a protracted spree, had caught cold
while in this condition, and developed
a rapid congestion of the lungs.
Hall had little or nothing on his per
son to tell of his identity. Besides' a
notebook with a few memoranda, a dia
mond ring and a pocketbook contain
ing a few dollars, there was nothing
found on him. He was about 54 years
of age, 5 feet 10 Inches in height,
weighed about 165 pounds, wore & mus
tache, and his hair And mustache were
of dark brown sprinkled with gray.
Nothing Is known of his family or -con-nections.

A Detroit Contractor, Believed
to Be Dying of Rheumatism,
Cured by Dr. Williams'
Pink PUls.
Mr. George M. Glading, a contrao.
tor, of 16 Dnmontier street, Detroit,
Mich., and a member of the Modern
Woodmen of America, Camp 967, of
Ouster, is .certain that Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills saved his life, lie says:
"In my younger days I was In charge
of men getting ont timber in northern
Michigan and was exposed to all kinds
of weather and for years had, never
spared myself from work or exposure.
As a result of this and stomach trouble,
I was completely run down during the
spring of 1908 and fell an easy victim to
an attack of rheumatism. I had the ser
vices of two doctors in Detroit, who,
after attending me for several months,
said I could never get welL By this
time I was helpless, my entire body
seemed to be paralysed and I couldn't
move my arms or legs.
".The doctors advised me to goomy
old home in Cnster, where I could be cared
for during the remaining few days or
weeks I had to live. My lodge met me
and I went home, where I had a nurse
and employed our family physician to
give me what aid he could, although he
agreed with the doctors of Detroit, that
I could not live.
"As I lay in bed I thought there must
be something radically wrong in the
treatment I was getting. I had no
desire to quit life at mv age and decided
to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which I
had heard some relatives say they had
used. I bought one dosen boxes and
commenced to take them at once, follow
ing the directions in every particular.
For two weeks it was a life and death
struggle, but Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
finally won, for I began to have some
feeling in my feet. After using the pills
steadily for six weeks I could walk
across the room and six weeks later was
doing light work. My friends and doc
tors were dumbfounded at my recovery.
That was nearly four years ago and to
day I am employing more men than I
used to and am working longer and
harder than any of them."

PENDLETON, Or., March 5. (Special.)
That the wreck of the O. R. & N. pas
senger train near this city Wednesday
morning was due to the high rate of
speed at which the train was traveling is
the opinion of officials of the road and
a committee of citizens, as expressed to
day after a searching investigation had
been made of the -tracks, rails and en
gine. The investigating party consisted
of Division Superintendent D. W. Camp
bell, Division Engineer William Bollona,
General Master Mechanic Jurgens and a
local committee, consisting of Robert
Forster, W. L. Thompson and Bert Huff
man. It was found that the track was in ex
cellent condition and the engine showed
no sign of having a defect in the wheels
or otherwise before the wreck occurred.
The engine truck wheels left the rail on
a 10-degree curve and 19 feet west of
where the engine was finally wrecked',
and at the point where the truck wheels
left the rail there was absolutely nothing
to cause a wreck, the ties, rails, bolts and
spikes being in normal condition, and the
gauges and levels used on the track
showed that the gauge was proper, the
elevation of the track correct and the
rails in excellent condition.
While the cause of the wreck is a mys
tery, the consensus of opinion is that the
speed was perhaps greater at that point
than the employes realized, and that the
lurch of the engine in rounding the curve
caused the wheels of the truck to leave
the rails.
Had the derailed wheels not have struck
the switch at the Pilot Rock junction, it
is possible that the train would have run
Into Pendleton with the one pair of
wheels.

Xo Provision In Primary Law for
Naming Presidential Electors.
SEATTLE, Wash., March 5. (Spe
cial.) Replying to the query: "How
are Presidential electors to be nom

to section two of the direct primary
law, which provides that "herafter all
candidates for elective offices in this
state, either state, county, ' municipal,
precinct or congressional, shall be
nominated at a direct primary election
held in pursuance of this act."

indescribable fear, for,
nothing compares with

ONE MAN IN EVERY FIVE
VARCOCE
YOU MAY BE THE
Varicocele causes congestion of the blood in some of the most vital
blood vessels of man. It causes a dull, heavy, listless feeling, which
is often mistaken for nervous debility or general decline. Varicocele
results from partial paralysis of the delicate nerve fibers that control
local circulation of the blood. The muscular coating of the veins is
deprived of nervous control and becomes inactive, weakens and re
laxes. The blood vessels expand from the pressure within. The circu
lation becomes sluggish and clots form in little nooks and pockets
that constantly enlarge as the relaxation continues. These clots may
pass into general circulation, and should one find lodgment in the
valves of th ; heart, the result might be instant death. Should a clot
lodge in the minute capillaries of the brain, apoplexy or general par
alysis might follow.
I CURE VARICOCELE
Don't allow yourself to be butchered and tinkered with. I have a
safe, painless and sure cure, original with me and employed by no one
else. I use no knife, cause no pain, and you need not be detained
