FIGURES ARE INTERESTING I'or the Year Kndlns January 1, 1890, the Exports Were About One-HU of Those .for Year Ending January 1, 1908. During the calendar year ending January J, 1908. the tonnage which en tered and cleared from Portland about doubled that of the year which ended January 1, 1899. statistics compiled at the local Customs-House for a period of lo years, beginning January 1, 1899, show a remarkable gain In the amount of tonnage handled in Portland. Dur ing the year ending December 31, 1898, the amount of tonnage entered at the Customs-House was 472.264, and that cleared was 481,931. Ten years later the figures show 872,971 entered and 848.523 cleared. The first year on which statistics are quoted was at the height of the Klon dike excitement, and every craft that would float was pressed into service and the business of Portland Increased rapidly. The following year business fell off, both In' the coasting and the foreign trade, and figures dropped down nearly 1000 tons. For the follow ing five years, arrivals and departures held about even, and It was not until the beginning of 1905 .that there! was any perceptible gain. The following year showed little gain, but the season ending January 1, ISOtj. showed rapid ad vances In shipping. A complete table follows: Er.tre5. Clarr1. Jan. 1. lo Jan. 1.

Francois Garnier and Jules Jeffrey. French sailors of the bark Amiral de Cornuller, were taken from the vessel yesterday morning and lodged In the County Jail. Consul C. Henri Labbe requested the detention of the sailors and throush him a charge of mutiny will be lodged against them in France. The three men will be sent home as prisoners and will be tried on the charges on arrival in their native land. French maritime laws are strict and If convicted of mutiny the men will probably do time on Devil's Island. When the tug Oeklahama went along side yesterday morning the sailors refused to accept the hawsers and the steamer was compiled to leave the ship at anchor. The men were In an ugly mood snd the master feared bloodshed. The men remaining on board are charged with rebellion. The trouble grew out of differences be tween the sailors and the mate. Charges of mistreatment were lodged against him. The matter was Investigated by Consul I. abbe and the mate was exonerated. The men then grew sulky and when the vessel was ready for Astoria they flatly refused to turn to. The ringleaders were lodged In .tail. The outcome of the matter will prob ably be the resignation of the mate and a temporary victory for the men. Consul Labbe will make a detailed report of the matter to his government and action will be taken on the arrival of the vessel at a home port. The ship Is being held up and the muster will not assume authority of having the entire crew placed under arrest and engaging a new crew for the outward voyage.

Marine News of Tacoma. TAOOMA, March 13. The first authen tic news regarding the mishap to the Herman steamer Sakkarah. which left here December 30 for Hamburg, via the West Coast, was brought In today by that vessel's sister ship, the Serak. The two steamers met at Lai Union, Salvador, where the Sakkarah struck a rock which was submerged 25 feet at high water. Two holes were punched in trie Sakka rah bottom. A diver from the United States cruiser Albany examined the in Jury and temporarily plugged the holes. Later, further repairs were effected and after a fw days' delay the Sakkarah proceeded. The steamer was leaving that port m-hen the mishap occurred. For La Union she had 930 tons of flour and lto.OCO feet of lumber from Tacoma.

PORT OF PORTLAND MEETS Captain Pease Makes Report on the Peninsular Harbor Line. Captain A. L. Pease, a committee of one from the Port of Portland, appointed to survey the proposed harbor line at the Peninsular mill, -reported adversely at the meeting of the commission yes terday. Captain Pease's objection was based on the fact that the proposed harbor line would place the outside dolphins In 24 feet of water at zero and at that narrow place would not leave room enough for large vessels to swing. The line desired by the mill people was established by thfe United States En gineers. Regular bills were taken up and those audited were ordered paid. There was a little discussion on minor affairs and the matter of the claims of the family of Anderson, who was drowned at Pen insular some time ago, were adjusted.

Mr. Hodson's letter follows: Portland. March 11. 180S. Mr. J. W. Sherwood, Secretary Republican Central Committee. Portland, Or. Dear Sir: I am Informed today that a re port was in circulation to the effect that should 1 be unsuccessful In my candidacy for the Republican nomination for State Senator. I would Join In a fusion movement Willi Democrats to defeat those chosen by the party as Its nominees. This will advise you of the absolute falsehood of such state ments. I will do my best to secure the nomination, but should I not be successful, I state to you unqualifiedly, and you are at liberty to give the statement as wide pub licity as you desire, that I will do every thing In my power to elect tha nominees chosen, and to that end promise to be as active in the canvass as any man in the party who is not a candidate. I write this, not that 1 think you give such reports credence, but because, tirst. it is my way of showing 1 am a Republican, and second, because the party platform de mands such pledge from each candidate. Very truly yours, (Stigned) C. W. HODSON. BREAK GROUND MARCH 18 Contractor Arranges to Begin Work on Oregon Building.

COLLEGE GRADUATE Foastd Clear Thinking; Aasored by KIgfat Food. A college student should know that clenr thinking comes easiest from a brain well and properly fed. "I have now been using Grape-Nuts steadily four years and, having passed the experimental and over-enthusiastic stage. I feel sure of myself and have settled down to a solid basis of fact. This I have derived largely from that excellent little booklet. 'The Road to Wcllvllle.' which I have largely adopt ed as my faithful guide in matters per taining to eating, exercise and health in general. "On first reading the booklet I was struek with its plain common sense arid moreover found that tt was in harmony with physiology and psychology so far as I had learned them in ray study of these subjects at college. "For at least ten years before I be gan to eat Grape-Nuts I had been ac- customed to eating freely of fried meats, white bread, biscuits and what not, with resultant headaches, some jdigziness and an appetite that was capricious and uncertain. All this, too, seemed to affect-my brain and nervous system, for while engaged in study I found it hard to concentrate my thoughts. "I cculd think very well for a little while, but soon grew restless and In attentive. Nor can I emphasise too much tha change that I have brought about by adopting rational habits in food and exercise. There is now an elasticity in my muscular system, a steadiness of nerve, and an ability to think continuously along a given line, that I prize most highly and which I attribute to the use of Grape-Nuts food."

DISCUSS STATEMENT NO. 1 Cross Swords in Jones Hall Tnder Auspices of South Portland Re publican Clul) Big Audience i Applauds Both Speakers. Arguments on the merits and demerits of Statement No. I made the rafters ring in Jones' Hall, at Front and Gibbs streets, last night, when W. S. U'Ren and George W. Stapleton debated the proposition. There was a large attend ance and both .speakers were liberally applauded. The debate was held under the auspices of the 8outh Portland Re publican Club., W. P. Lillis. president of that organization, was in the chair. No malodorous chemicals were liber ated by mischief-makers in the hall, as was done during the last U'Ren debate in South Portland, although people wno attended the meeting were closely scanned by a genuine "smelling committee" as they passed into the ball. The meeting was orderly throughout. Mr. U'Ren was the first speaker and made a logical defense of his pet meas ure. "We are not offered anything better in place of Statement No. 1." declared the speaker. "Let us keep it until we can replace it with something better. We can get rid of it at any time. Hold on to the power you have; it Is right and Just, for all power is inherent in the people. "The very worst Democrat you can send to the Legislature who subscribes to Statement No. 1 is far better than the very best Republican you can send there who insists on his party electing the Sen ator. I am first an American, next a Republican. I am going to keep this tight up until June and in every county where I have an opportunity to speak I will support the Democratic Statement No. 1 candidate rather than the Repub lican who is opposed to Statement No. 1. That is the kind of a Republican I am." TJ'Ren Not a Republican. In replying to the opening statement of Mr. U'Ren, Mr. Stapleton said he did not indorse his opponent's definition of a Re publican. "He is not a Republican be cause he believes in the principles of the Republican partyt" he said, "but because he believes it offers the most favorable means whereby he can carry out his fa vorite plans of a lifetime. If he is al lowed to carry them out, they will mean the disruption of the party. . "Statements No. 1 and . No. 2 are. not thrust upon any candidate. The candi date for the Legislature may pledge him self to one or neither of these state ments, and still be entitled to ask for your votes on primary day just the same. The primary election law' may stay on the books until doomsday, and if these statements are disregarded it will lose none of its force. "1 do not want any Republican to run for the Legislature - who is so weak in his personal popularity that he has to make a bid for Democratic votes. Tou can take that pledge to support State ment No. 1 if you want to, but if you are a good Republican you won't. Suppose our friend U'Ren takes it into his mind to re-enter the race for the United States Senate. With Cake and Fulton he will divide the party vote and Chamberlain will win in the election. Oregon as a state will roll up a majority for Taft or Hughes, but will send a Democratic Sen ator to Washington to thwart his every purpose. It does not become the state at this -time to send a man to Washington mother ahonld be a source of joy to all, but the suffering and danger incident to the ordeal makes its anticipation one of misery.

There is no getting away from the fact that lard is the fat of the hog. There was a time in the olden days when lard was made from a particular part of the hog, the selected part it was called the "leaf" that is, the peritoneum; but, with the growth of the industry, lard is now thrown on the market made from fat from all portions of the hog, and lard, today, is not as good as the lard of years ago in fact it is even more indigestible and more unhealthy. Cottolene is a cleanly, vegetable product made from pure, refined cot ton seed oil. It makes food palatable, digestible and healthful. Cottolene is the purest and best shortening. It is not a substitute for lard, but an improvement upon lard or any other shortening. When you accept a substitute for Cottolene you are not getting your .money's worth. Cottolene is preferable in more ways than one in purity, results and healthfulness. Nature's Gift from home made blood cure! PRESCRIPTION TO CLEAX THE BLOOD OF IMPVRITIES. I Strengthens Kidneys and Helps Them Filter Out Poisons Is Mixed ' at Home. A leading health Journal, in answer ing the question. "What is the best prescription to clean and purify the blood." prints in a recent issue the following: Fluid Extract of Dande lion one-half ounce. Compound Kargon one ounce. Compound Syrup - Sarsa parilla three ounces. Shake well and use in teaspoonful doses after each meal and at bedtime. It cleans the blood of all impurities and nourishes the blood. In just a few days the skin begins to clear of sores, bolls and pimples, it puts vigor and energy into run-down, debilitated men and women. For many years Sarsa parUla alone has been considered a good blood medicine. But whils it built up and made new blood, the impurities remained within and the good accom plished was only temporary. Sarsa parilla. however, when used in com bination with Compound Kargon and Extract Dandelion works wonders. This combination puts the kidneys to work to filter and sift out the waste matter, uric acicl and other impurities that cause disoa? e. It makes new blood and relieves rheumatism and lame back and bladder troubles. This prescription is better than the UBual patent medicines, which are in the most part alcoholic concoctions. The ingredients cost but little and are easily mixed at home. Every man and women here should make some up and try It if they feel their system requires a too1 Mrn,1 melrine. and toni. to battle against the principles we have been fighting for." Mr. Stapleton attacked Senator Bourne and said that Bourne's election was ac complished under Statement No. 1 after he had repeatedly failed to secure elec tion by the Legislature by resorting to doubtful means. Mr. U'Ren later defend ed Mr. Bourne and said his election meant the support of the principle. Will Not Re-enter Race. In his closing speech, Mr. U'Ren stoutly dented that he would re-enter the Sena torial race, from which he has Just re tired. He also took occasion to make a fling at H. W. Scott. "My one purpose." said the speaker, "in this life is to secure tor the peoples the direct control of the Government and every officer In it. To this end I shall change parties as often as to me seems expedient, and shall run for office and stop running for office when it seems ad visable. "You can never abolish special privi leges as long as your Legislatures elect your Senators and there will be graft In. every Legislature where a United States Senator is elected. If the Republi cans cannot put up a candidate for the United States Senate who can command the confidence of the Republicans, we ought to have a Democratic Senator." Councilman Cottel, of South Portland, explained his position on the ordinance now being considered to permit Schwartz- child & Sulzberger to operate a packing plant in the southern end of the city and said that if the people he represents want the plant, he will vote for it. Candidates for various offices were given the opportunity to 6peak and a number did so. PAYS ITS TAXES IN GOLD Southern Pacific Company Brings 937, 750 to Sheriff.
