ALTERNATE TO ASTORIA Vessel Will Make Three Trips to The Dalles and Three Down River Each Week Gatzert Will Cut. News of the Waterfront, Captain E. W. Spencer, owner of the steamer Chas. R. Spencer, has an nounced a Summer schedule for his boat, and also a cut in rates which promises to make a lively Summer in steamboat circles. Captain Spencer said yesterday: "Beginning Monday, May 11 the steamer Chas. R. Spencer will make the round trip from Port land to Astoria on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. On Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday she will make a round trip to The Dalles. Sunday excursions will alternate between the two places. I have decided to make the rate $1 from Portland to either The Dalles or Astoria." The statement of Captain Spencer marks the opening of one of the fierc est rate wars that has been known In the history of steamboating on the Willamette and Columbia Rivers. When questioned in regard to the reductions. General Manager Talbot said: "For the past two months, we have been con sidering the matter of placing the steamer Bailey Gatzert on the run be tween Portland and Astoria. The ques tion Is being considered, and I cannot at this time say whether the boat will go on the lower run or not. However, I will say that any cut In rates will be promptly met by my company." The fare from Portland to Tbe Dalles is 11.60, and round-trip tickets have been sold for $2.60. The reduced rate will not Include round-trip tickets, and will mean a saving to the passen ger of !0 cents on either single fare or both ways. Captain Spencer says that he will make a greater cut If neces sary. Last season the steamer Telegraph operated as an excursion boat (day light run), between Portland and As toria. She made a profitable season, and was later sent to Puget Sound to be run as an excursion boat during the Alaska-Yukon Exposition. There has been considerable rivalry between the steamer Spencer and boats of the Reg ulator line during the past three years, but the enmity has not been reduced to a rate war until now. Next Mon day will mark the beginning, and the end it not in sight. On the Portland-Astoria run. Cap tain Spencer will have only the Hassalo and the Lurline as competitors, and the rail line of the Astoria & Columbia River Railway Company. At present, the Hassalo Is undergoing repairs, and the Lurline is on the ways. The lower river business Is being handled by the T. J. Potter and the Undine.

Another rule to regulate smokers who ride on streetcars will be Issued tomor row and will go Into effect at once. Thereafter no person will be permitted to smoke while riding on the front platform. This rule Is made on account of the re cent order to stop cars on the "near" sides of cross streets, and permitting pas sengers to get on and off the front plat form if they desire to do so. Officers of the company -explain that by keeping smokers on the rear platform women and others who object to tobacco smoke will have less cause for complaint, for the reason they will use the forward part of the cars almost entirely and will have no reason to Invade the part of cars re served for smokers. Open cars will have the two rear seat reserved for smokers as heretofore and no smoking on the cars of the O. W. P, and Portland; Heights lines will be per mitted. In the case of the O. W. P. line. this rule is made on account of the accl dent on the East Side some weeks ago when several young men who were ridd ing on the platform smoking were in jured and might not have been hurt if they had been inside the car. On the Heights cars the grades are so steep that passengers on the platforms are in dan ger and the rule is made to give them better protection and to give motormen plenty of room to attend to their work.

Mrs. Wieland says she married her hus band at Jamestown, N. D. October 3, 1897, and that things went alontr smooth ly until 1899, when his continued cruelty rorced her to leave him. They were liv ing at that time In Wahbaton. S. D. The wife says that soon afttr she left home a man came to her wltli the story that he had been to Wahbaton in search of her husband and had found that he had been killed In a' quarrel ever a Call fornla mine. She did not hear further from her husband until December 15. 1907, when her mother, Mrs. E. P. Holt, received a letter from Everett, Wash., saying Wieland had been kill ed In Alaska. The letter was signed by "John Worthy," and the writer said that lie had burled Wieland. He gave the address 2420 Chestnut street. A reply was sent by Mrs. Holt, to which she in, turn received an answer, this time from "Worthy" at 1013 Pacific avenue, Tacoina. Mrs. Wie land says she investigated the matter and found that both lettei-s were written by her husband himself, in an effort to entrap her. Bhe asks ttjat she be given the custody of her chlldl Ruth Angellne. Alleging that Evan 0-wn Blackwell, her husband, deserted his Jiome on January 1905, and shipepd on a vessel for Queenstown, Ireland, Mrs. Harty Jane Blackwell has brought suit for a divorce. She says they were married September 16, 1903, at Oregon Csf.y. Two delinquent husliands were cited to appear before Judge, Webster, in the County Court, yeBteSday morning.

At that time the court will take the case under consideration again. William Mil ler also has fallen, behind in his pay ments to his young wife and 2-year-old child. His mother appeared and said he had been both sick and out of work. He had been ordered to pay $20 a month, and his father had gj.ven bond for the pay. ment of that amount. i Fannie Wachtmdorf had complained that Henry Wfechendorf had not been keeping up his payments, but as she is suing him in the Circuit Court to obtain divorce, the case was continued.

The pipes and fixtures in use before the house was reconstructed, were re placed. The work was Inspected by the City Plumbing Inspector, but was not accepted.

VESSELS WILL MANEUVER Tillamook Head Offers Vantage Ground From Which to See Great Armada Pass in Stately Pro cession to the North. . Once upon a time there occurred an Incident, long chronicled in the lore of the East, that a certain Mohamet, a prophet, desiring closer Juxtaposition to a certain mountain, strove to have the mountain approach into -his Immediate vicinity, but this falling was compelled to betake him self unto the mountain. After moving heaven and earth and the Navy Xlepartment In an effort to bring the Atlantic fleet to Portland, all to no purpose, a well-defined movement has been launched to .take Portland to the fleet, or so great a portion of Portland as Is willing and able to pay a reduced railroad fare to Seaside in order that the big battleships may be seen to brush by. Dan'Moore is the father of a plan which is endorsed by the local commercial bod ies, to run excursions from here to Sea side for the splendid spectacle that will be afforded by the progress of the fleet on its way to Puget Sound. Arrangements have already been closed with the North ern Pacific officials to make a greatly re duced round-trip rate and to run at least two excursion trains. One of these trains will go to Seaside on the evening pre ceding the day on which the armada will pass. This train Is intended especially for those having cottages at Seaside, or who may desire to make a rather more extended outing of the affair. The other train will leave the Union Station on -the morning of the eventful day, returning the same evening, thus giving an oppor tunity for the excursionists to take lunches and make a picnic of the affair. Both trains will run direct, without stop, to Seaside, and both will return In the evening after the spectacle is over. The people of Seaside guarantee that an easy trail will be opened to the summit of Tillamook Head, which rises 1,100 feet above the sea and affords a view un equalled by any on the Ooast. Those who do not desire to make the climb will be able to obtain an excellent view from the pier and the boardwalk.

Private Entrance, 234'i Morrison Street, Portland, Oregon. k Thorough WEAKMEN An unbroken rcord of cures during all these yara Is positive proof of the value of my Direct Method Treatment, For 29 years I have specialized in treat ins the diseases of men only. A great many people do not seem to understand the difference between the regular practitioner and the medical expert who has devoted his life study to say, three or four complicated diseases. They seem to be under the impression that any physician cures any disease with equal success. It is an everyday experience to have a patient say: "I have tried nearly every remedy sold by druggists for my trouble." and the invariable verdict Is "No benefit." Another will say: "I have been treated by several family physicians in my neighborhood who thought they could cure me, but the results proved otherwise More Men There are scores and hundreds of afflicted men who believe their cases Incurable because treatment of the pant has resulted in failure, and who through this belief are being deprived of the full and complete health that might be theirs. I do not claim that there are no Incurable cases, but I do claim that many ewes absolutely Incurable by such treatment as has been given them will yield promptly to the correct and scientific methods that I exclusively employ. I offer free consultation and will accept for treatment no case unless I am conAdent of my ability to effect a complete cure. This is meant emphatically. My FEE $10.00 in All Simple, Uncomplicated Cases My Successful Treatment for Weakness Dosing the system with powerful stimulants and tonics In an effort to restore functional vigor can have but one final result: The condition is rendered worse than before. "Weakness" Is merely an indication of a low form of Inflammation In the prostate gland, and the inflammation Is but aggravated by stimulating remedies that excite temporary activity. I employ the only scientific and fully effective treatment for "weakness" which effects a permanent cure by restoring the prostate giand to a sound and healthy state. I obtain complete results in every case I treat. Varicocele, Its Complete Cure Without Surgery Under my treatment most cases of varicocele are cured without any operation There is no cutting, no pain, and it Is seldom necessary that the patient be detained from his occupation. Normal circulation is at once restored through out all the organs, and the natural processes of waste and repair are again estab lished. If you are afflicted with Varicocele, consult me at once. Delay can but bring on aggravated conditions and nervous complications that will Impair the vital functions and Involve the general health. No Pay Unless Cured. Consultation Free ST.
