TESTS ARE MADE
OF NEW SIGNALS
Submarine Connection With
Approaching Vessels Is
Placed on Trial.
TERROR OF FOG RELIEVED
.lightships at Columbia Bar and
Umatilla Shoals Experimenting
i With Apparatus While Battle
ship Fleet Is Passing Xorth.
Under instructions from the local
'lighthouse Inspector, Commander P.
J. Werlich, a test is being made of
the submarine signal system. The
tests were undertaken yesterday off
the Columbia from lightship 88, for
merly 60, and will be continued from
lightship 67, Umatilla reef, 18 miles
aouth of Puget Sound.
This time was chosen for making
these testa for the reason that the
vessels of the battleship fleet are
equipped with receiving apparatus,
and as former tests were made by con
jiection with lighthouse tenders, the
present will afford an opportunity to
&X distances at which the signals will
be of useful service.
The submarine signal system was
suggested by a homely experiment.
Boys In swimming, from time lmme
tmorlal have gone under water and
knocked two small rocks together the
tapping of which their companions
can hear at considerable distances.
This carrying of sound under water
was experimented with by the Inven
tor of the bell signal until the appa
ratus now being tested at the mouth
of the Columbia was constructed. The
signal has been' in use on the Atlantic
with success for about two years. At
lantic liners approaching New York
barbor in foggy weather have been
able to pick up lightships by this
means.
If the tests being made prove satls
lsfactory. the passenger vessels of this
Coast will doubtless hasten to be
quipped with receiving apparatus,
and in fact probably some of them are
already, for it is presumed the system
is In operation off San Francisco har
bor, but. as far as known, no vessels
coming to this port are so equipped.
The apparatus consists of a sub
merged sounder made of bell metal,
about two feet in diameter, the tapper
being operated from the deck. The
signal is put over the side of the light
ship, well forward, and submerged.
The number of the lightship is sound
ed at Intervals, similar to the plan of
a fire-alarm signal. For Instance,
lightship 88. off Columbia bar. will
signal eight taps, then an interval,
then eight taps. The receiver on an
approaching vessel will record the
number and the navigator will be en
abled to identify the proximity of a
lightship. The tests being made will
determine the distances at which the
signals can be depended on and their
feasibility demonstrated for use at the
two points named.
Launch Steamer at Newport.
NEWPORT, Or., May 20. The New
port Navigation Company this after
noon successfully launched the new
steamer. Newport, from their yards
at Yaquina. At 4 o'clock all was in
readiness and the blocks were cleared
away. As the vessel started from Its
cradle Mrs. O. F. Jacobson broke a
bottle of wine over the bows, saying,
"I christen thee Newport." The launch
ing was witnessed by a large crowd
of people brought from Newport by an
excursion. The dimensions of the new
vessel are 78 feet over all, with 16-foot
beam. As soon as completed and ln-
pected the boat will take the place of
the steamer L M. Richardson now on
the route between Yaquina and New
port. The craft is especially built and
TWell-equipped for this service. .

to a different conclusion. Cut off the an

the brewers and throw the thousands of men

and there must be hard times.
I believe it Is time for the voters of this

NEW YORK. May 20. That an effort
was made to stop a hole in a cellar win
dow with a $500 oil painting was the story
told to a Jury in the Court ,of General
Sessions, where Charles MciDermott was
on trial, charged with stealing two oil
paintings valued at $300 each from "Sher
ry's' September 1, 1907.
These pictures were cut from the
frames, and it is charged tnat McIermott,
who Is an ironworker and was employed
on the roof of a building: adjoining
Sherry's, took thm. "When he brought
the piece of oilcloth home," his mother
testified, "he told me he had paid 23
cents, and I told him he had been stuck.
It was not large enough for the table
and 1 tried to use it to stop a hole
In a cellar window, where the glass had
been broken, and it was not good for
that."

VETERAN OF OREGON EXPRESS N
SERVICE DIES IN WALLA WALLA
James P. Goodhue Carried Mail to Corvallis in 1855 and Was Purser on
the Steamer Active.
AMES P. GOODHUE, 74 years old, .
J one of the pioneers of Oregron, died
In Walla Walla, Sunday a 6 P. M.
He was 111 only a few hours, and his
sudden death, caused by heart failure,
was a great surprise and shock to his
relatives and many friends. In spite
of his age, he was most vigorous, and
was active in his administration of the
affairs of the Northern Express Com
pany, for whom he was agent, until the
day of his death.
Mr. Goodhue, who was a great-grandson
of General Putnam, of Revolution
ary fame, left New Torlc City In 1852
for Oregon, on the fastest clipper ship
of that time, the Siren, arriving In San
Francisco early In the following year.
In 1866 he was employed by Judge
Lawaon to carry the mall and express
to Colonel Kesmith at Corvallis. Later,
he clerked for "Nat" Lane, at Corvallis,
until the breaking out of the Rogue
River Indian War, In 185. He was
purser on the Columbia River steamer
Belle, with Captain Richard Williams,
when Jacob Kamm. of Portland, was
engineer. . He was transfer agent for
the Government at the Cascades, and
carried express to General Phil Sheri
dan, then Lieutenant of the Fourth In
fantry, at Grand Ronde. In 1860, he
oame to Fort Walla Walla aa wagon
forge master, where he remained until
1887, when he went to the placer-mining
camps of Bear Gulch, Montana.
Later, he was purser on the steamer
Active, plying between Victoria and
Sitka, Alaska.
During this period, shortly after
Alaska was purchased by the United
States, Secretary Seward made his his
torical trip on the Active, to view his
purchase. The captain of the Active
took Mr. Seward to task for "purchas
ing that God-forsaken country of Alas
ka, to pester the unlucky navigators
who were compelled to make the voy
age with poor Russian charts." Secre.
tary Seward replied: "The time will
come when you will acknowledge that
the United States made a good bar
gain when It bought Alaska for $7,004,.
0." Mr. GoodtnlP said that even be
fore he left the ocean they had trough
down enough gold to more than pay for
the territory.
Mr, Goodhue was appointed by Presi
dent VUlard, of the Northern Paclne
Railway Company, as transfer agent at
South Aiasworth, where he established
a supply station, and thence went te
Wallula, where he remained as transfer

OPPOSITION FROM
BAND OF Flies
Pastor of First Spiritualist
Church Indorses Cot
tel's Ordinance.
GIVES PUBLIC PROTECTION
Weak-Minded and Unsophisticated
Now at Mercy of Conscienceless
Dabblers in the Occult, Says
H. D. Barrett.
Harrison D. Barrett, pastor of the
First Spiritualist Society, heartily in
dorses Councilman Cottel's ordinance
forbidding the practice of clairvoyancy
and kindred arts for fraudulent purposes.
Mr. Barrett contends that the ordinance
Is a Just and progressive measure, for
the protection of the public from a con
scienceless band of fakers. Discussing
the pending ordinance last night, Mr.
Barrett said:
My attention has been called to an
article in The Oregonlan of Sunday
morning relating to the now famous
ordinance introduced by Councilman Cot
tel at the last meeting of tha body of
which he is a member. I want to cor
roborate the statements made by Dr.
Cottel in regard to the introduction of
that measure. He was not, as he well
stated, the author of the measure. He
presented it In compliance with the re
quest made by many people who are be
lievers In the higher Spiritualism that
is now occupying the attention of the
savants and scientists of the world. The
document was handed to him by one of
the members of the Council who asked
his opinion. He simply marked it "By
request." and passed it on. This was a
most courteous act on his part and was
certainly appreciated by those who are
benefitted by the provisions of the
measure.
What does this new ordinance provide?
First, it repeals the present ordinance
compelling ministers of the religion of
Spiritualism, ordained acoording to the
usages thereof, to pay an unjust license
fee of $60 a year. It places them, by this
repeal, upon equal footing with. the.
clergymen of other denominations. Why
should Spiritualist ministers and their
friends take exceptions to the .repeal of
the measure that now discriminates
against them so unjustly?.
In the second place. It wisely prohibits
charlatans, counterfeiters and all-round
takers from advertising for the purpose
of entrapping the unwary to filch from
them their hard earnings. It does not
prohibit - the practice or use of psychic
powers In any way whatsoever. It does
not prohibit ministers of any denomina
tion from filling their vocations accord
ing to the spirit of wisdom that is given
unto them. It does not make medlumshlp
a felony; nor does it declare that people
shall not receive advice in business af
fairs if they wish to do so. It is simply
a wise. Just and progressive measure de
signed to protect people from the machi
nations of those who have no consciences
and are merely seeking to exploit the peo
ple out of their dollars.
This ordinance does not interfere with
any newspaper, but it does prohibit coun
terfeiters using the columns of the news
papers to advertise their wares. The pen
alty is upon the counterfeiter, and not
upon the paper.
It proscribes the obtaining of money and
property by fraudulent devices and prac
tices in the name of any religion in the
City of Portland. Can any honest man or
woman take exceptions to this prohibition
or to the infliction of penalties in case it
Is violated?
It proscribes the holding of any public or
private meeting in the name of spiritual
ism, or any other religious body, at which
fraud or deception of any kind Is Intro
duced or allowed to be practiced. Is it
possible that there is a spiritualist in the
City, of Portland who objects to this prop
osition? Is there any honest man or
woman who can take exception to It?
For one, I deem it a most benefi

la in 1891, where he had been In charge
of the Northern Express Company's of
fice for the past 17 years, and was liked
and respected as few men have been by
their fellow-cltlsens.
Mr. Goodhue was a veteran Oddfel
low, Joining Columbia Lodge No. 2 at
Victoria, B. CL, In 1870, transferring his
membership to Trinity Lodge in Walla
Walla during 1892, when It was In
stalled. He was Its first past grand,
and one of the first representatives to
the grand lodge at the meetings held in
Walla Walla In 1892, and In Olympla In
1891. In Columbia Lodge, he passed
the oaairs twice, and was several times
a representative to the grand lodge. In
which he held the office of grand
guardian for a term of years.

cent and helpful police regulation, and I
trust that our Council will pass the meas
ure as it stands, with such amendments
as will fit it to the state law of Oregon.
In this city within the last few years a
wealthy citizen who stood high In the es
teem of his friends and neighbors was
victimized by a designing woman, in
veigled into a marriage with her and in
duced to turn over to her all of his prop
erty. As soon as she obtained the prop
erty she turned him adrift and left him to
the cold charity of the world. He had no
redress; the law would not protect him.
He had to leave the city, and is now in
exile in a distant city, depending upon the
charity of his friends for his living. It is
to prevent such crimes as this that this
ordinance is further sought. .
A gentleman called upon me today and
informed me that he was cognizant of
the fact that a certain servant girl who
had saved $600 by hard labor became the
unconscious victim of one of the glar
ing advertisers in this city, lost all of
her money and was rendered helpless
and homeless thereby. Is it possible that
there is a person in this city who will
sign a remonstrance against an ordi
nance designed to prevent such fearful
crimes as this?
"I know that some of these loud ad
vertisers have hired agents to locate
aged and wealthy widows and widowers
to induce them to visit these wicked
counterfeiters, whose business it be
comes to exploit them. A leading attor
ney in the city informed me that he
knew of one man who was offered $500
to do this work In respect to two indi
viduals only. Shall such things go on
unrebuked at the hands of the clean
thinking citizens of this metropolis of
the Northwest.
Men and women who are heart
broken, in search of comfort for their
bitter sorrows, occasioned by the death
of some loved one, are led by these glar
ing advertisements to the parlors of
these conscienceless fiends and there de
liberately robbed in the name of their
sacred dead. Shall such practices longer
pass unnoticed? God forbid that such
should be the verdict of the citizens of
Portland.
Many instances are on record where
men and women have been Induced to
place gold, silver, precious Jewels and
valuables of all kinds in the hands of
these fakers In order that the same
might be magnetized and draw unto
their owners more of this world's goods
and attract to them the spirits of their
loved ones In the Kingdom of God. At
one time there were not, less than B7
of these rascals plying their trade In
Portland.
At a public meeting -last night I was
publicly denounced for opposing fraud
and chicanery by advocating the passage
of this ordinance which means the clean
ing up of the civic life of our great and
progressive city. Remonstrances were
introduced in no (ess than two church
societies and honest people were induced
to sign them on the ground that the or
dinance was class legislation and an in
terference with sacred individual rights.
Those who have signed these remon
strances have thereby arrayed them
selves on the side of the people who are
fleecing their fellow citizens and destroy
ing their peace of mind.
Saturday evening a friend of mine,
prominent in business walks in Port
land, sought me and cautioned me
against taking further action in this
matter on the ground that I would be
slugged by some of the fraternity
when I was not on my guard. Is It
possible that people of Portland are
willing to sign papers in support of
the slugger and against those who are
seeking to remove him from the con
fines of our fair city?
This nefarious gang Is ubiquitous.
Its name is legion. It has its grips,
signals, passwords, vocabularies, books
of exchange, paraphernalia, and all
other things that belong to the realm
of legerdemain. Honest men and
women have signed papers remon
strating against the removal of these
tricksters from our midst. As a citi
zen and a clergyman, I ask that the
right be sustained and that the hands
of our City Council be upheld in the
good work they are seeking to do for
us. Let us go to them en masse and
ask for this very necessary and help
ful legislation.
In conclusion. . let me say that the
First Spiritual Society of Portland, at
Its last session, 300 people being pres
ent, unanimously voted to request the
passage of the ordinance and directed
its pastor to go before the proper com
mittee to urge Its adoption. It is to
be hoped that other churches will fol
low the praiseworthy example thus set
for them.
CALLS "OREGONIA" SPANISH
Says EtymoIoglcaHy It Means "Land
of People With Big Ears."
PORTLAND, May 19. (To the Editor.)
Various suggestions have appeared in The
Oregonlan from- time to time as to the
origin and meaning: of the name of this
state, but none of them appears to be con
vincing:. In commentinx editorially upon the sug-g-estion
of Joaquin Miller that the name Is
derived from a certain Spanish word (.1 be
lieve the word was "oreja," meaning ear)
The Oregonlan stated that the only defi
nite fact In regard to the matter is that
the word 'Oregon" first appeared In a book
describing the travels of Jonathan Carver,
about the year 1764. I believe I can ex
plain the origin of this word In a manner
more satisfactory than anything I have
yet seen.
In volume 1, "explanation of the Valley
of the Amazon." published by the United
States Government printer in t54. page 223,
appears this sentence: "The Inhabitants are
principally 'Oregones.' or 'Big Bars. from
the custom of introducing a bit of wood
Into, a slit In the ear and gradually In
creasing the size of It until the lobe hanes
Upon the shoulder."
Lieutenant Hemdon. United States Navy,
who made this explanation and submitted
the report, found there Indians hundreds of
miles from the sources of the Amazon In
a region Inhabited by civilized men. but to
which Spanish missionaries or adventurers
had evidently penetrated and given the In
dians this name, which they had retained.

Spanish nonn signifies "big." Thus "oreja'
"an ear" ; "Oregon." "a big ear. Simi
larly, the early Spanish navigators in pass
ing the southern shores of South America
and observing the huge foot prints in the
sand of the gigantic barefooted natives of
that region, exclaimed, "patagon," "big
foot." "Pata," "a foot." "patagon." "a big
foot"; whence Is derived "Patagonia." "the
land of the people with the big feet," by
which name the southern portion of South
America was known In the geographies un
til it was absorbed by Argentina, and Chile.
Now, what le the application of this
South American name to the river known
as the Columbia In the Northwestern United
States? Simply this that for more than
100 years before the journey of Lewis and
Clark, the Spanish settlement -of Santa Fe
was a center of trade for nearly all the
Indians of the West and that from thence.
SpaniBh words were widely diffused among
them; that among the Indians dwelling
along the banks of the Columbia and Its
tributaries there were many tribes having
the custom of wearing large ear ornaments;
that under similar circumstances the Span
ish people would speak of them by the same
name, "Oregones." and that this name
would be transferred to the river whose
banks they inhabited.
Captain Lewis states in the Journal of
Lewis and Clark that the first Indians
whom he met after crossing the Rocky
Mountains were the S nosh ones, to which
tribe Sacajawea belonged. He states that
these Indians occupied the river now known
as the Snake and that they traded with the
Spanish at Santa Fe for mules, saddles,
bridles and varicus other articles, and that
they retained Spanish names for various
articles. . He also states that these Sho
shones crossed the Rocky Mountains every
Summer and hunted buffalo.
I have not seen Jonathan Carver3 book
of travels, but from what I have read about
It I understand that he explored the head
waters of the Mississippi, or the Missouri.
At any rate, be did not cross the Rocky
Mountains. It seems probable that he was
told of the great river beyond the moun
tains and that the Indian who Informed him.
having no name of his own for it, gave him
the name "Oregon." by which he Cthe In
dian) had heard the Sboshones speak of It,
deriving it from Spanish sources.
In view of this explanation It appears
that "Oregonia." Instead of being the "land
of the people with the webbed feet." is ety
mologlcally the "land of the people with the
big ears." W. H. C.

Weakness
Functional weakness' In men is
in reality a comparatively simple
allmont. and is but a symptom of
local disorder, a state of chronic
inflammation of the prostate
ga.nd. No stimulating; treatment,
whether internal or locally ap
plied, can do more than excite
temporary activity. By my sys
tem of local treatment I restore
absolutely normal conditions
throughout the organs involved,
which promptly results In com
plete and permanent restoration
of strength and vigor. This treat
ment is original with me. and is
the only radical and certain cure
yet devised.

The deep, underlying cause of every old sore is a bad condition of the
blood. This vital fluid has become infected with some germ or poison which.
prevents the place from healing;. This infection may be the result of an in
active, sluggish condition of the system leaving the refuse matter in the
body to be absorbed into the circulation instead of throwing it off through,
the usual channels of nature. Another cause is the weakening or polluting
of this life-stream from hereditary taints, or from the effects of a long spell
of sickness, leaving disease germs in the system. When the blood is in this
condition a sore cannot heal because the impurities with which the circula
tion is filled are being constantly discharged into the place to irritate and
inflame the tissues and further disease tie surrounding flesh. The only
treatment that can do any good is one that removes the cause, and for this
purpose nothing equals S. S. S. It begins at the fountain head of the trouble
and drives out all germs, impurities and poisons, and then the place, being
supplied with rich, pure blood, heals naturally and permanently. Local ap
plications assist in cleansing the place, but a cure can only be affected
through a purification of the blood. Book on Sores and Ulcers and any
