STATISTICS SHOW
HEMARKA6LEGAIN
Business of Portland Customs
House Is Doubled in
Ten Years.
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

SAILORS HELD FOR MUTINY
Three Men From French Bark Will
Be Deported as Mutineers.
Pierre Reblllard. 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.

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

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.

DENIES FUblON STORY
C. W. Hodson Says He Will Have
Nothing to Do With Democrats.
P. W. Hodson yesterday addressed a
letter to Secretary Sherwood of the Re
publican City and County Central Com
mittee, denying the report that if defeated
for the Republican nomination as State
Senator,' he would Join in a fusion move
ment with Democrats. 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.

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." "There's a
Reason."

HOLD JOINT DEBATE
W. S. U'Ren and G. W. Staple
ton Meet on Platform.
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

Get rid of the
Lard Habit
Cottolene makes pies and pastry digestible; it
makes crisp, flaky pie-crust the kind that will melt
in your mouth rather than stick in the pit of your
stomach.
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
