LUMBER EXPORTS
SHOW BIG CIS
Foreign Shipments for Month
' ' of May Greatly in Advance
of Last Year.
GRAIN BUSINESS IS GOOD
Wheal and Flour Exports to Foreign
Countries Less Than for Jhe Same
Month of Last Season Coast
wise Lumber Trade.
Foreign exports of wheat, flour and lum
ber from Portland during the month of
May ar in direct proportion to the busi
ness which the port has transacted dur
ing the 11 months of the cereal year which
have passed. . The wheat shipments to
foreign ports total 464.732 bushels, with a
valuation of $417,237. Klour shipments, all
of which went to the Orient, amounted to
79.125 barrels. Reducing the flour to a
wheat asls the exports were equal to
610.794 bushels of wheat.
Lumber exports to forelzn countries
Jumped up to 12,690,804 feet, a larger
amount than has been dispatched from
the Columbia Kiver for many months.
Five steamers and one sailing craft
cleared for foreign ports with lumber
during the month and the value of the
shipments amounts to J143.S20. Coastwise
lumber shipments have been on the in
crease of late. During the month of
May there was sent to California ports
from Portland (exclusive of points on
the Columbia River), 5,065,000 feet. This
is better than for many months and a
general resumption of the lumber trade
Is looked forward to by lumberben at
Portland.
Foreign exports for the month of May,
1907. amounted to $63,093 bushels of
wheat. 244.704 barrels of flour and 7,750,
,'i0 feet of lumber. May of last year was
a peculiar month and a large amount of
the exports for that period were due to
y the grain blockade and car shortage
; which existed earlier in the season and
r-.. consequently delayed the vessels for
0:n time so the craft which should have
j cleared early in April did not get away
( until Mar. As a result May was a big
month and June failed to get credit for
a single cargo of wheat and only one
small shipment of flour.
Totals for the 11 months of the cereal
. year are far above those of the season of
1906-07. June, of this year, will make a
good showing In the grand total for the
cereal year. The grain shipments to
California ports have been on the in
crease and the total exports to coast
ports will be greatly In excess of any
of the previous months of the year.

RF.COKD CROP IS PREDICTED
A. Tucker Returns From Eastern
Oregon rind Washington.
A. Tucker, local manager for Meyer,
Wilson & Co., lias returned from an ex
tended trip to Eastern Oregon and
Washington. Mr. Tucker says that
the outlook for a record-breaking grain
crop Is excellent, and with no hot winds
he estimates the crop of the Northwest
for the Summer of 1908 at approxi
mately 70.000,000 bushels. This estl
niato 'is 7.000.000 bushels in excess of
the crop of 1907 and at that time no
figures had approached the volume of
grain yield for the Northwest.
Mr. Tucker spent more than a week
in the Inland Empire and during that
time drove many miles in addition to
the rail and stage journeys. Ho says
there l a general air of prosperity
throughout the country. The only
cause of complaint that he noticed was
the acquiring lands by large owners
and the freezing; out of small farmers.
Big dealers make offers for small
"-4j-acts of land and if the owners' re
I use to sell, they make their power
felt. Small landowners are complain
ing bitterly of this system.

DIES IN HOTEL LOBBY
Wrcalthy- Boston Merchant Expires
Suddenly In Xew York.
NEW YORK, May 9. Charles ' E.
Holmes, a wealthy Boston leather mer
chant, died last night In the lobby of
the Hoffman House, of which he had been
a guest, immediately after his return
there in a taxlcab from a visit to a house
In West Forty-seventh street. He had
been taken suddenly ill during his visit
and was hurried back to the hotel before
a physician was summoned. He was 65
years old.
After his death the police took Into
custody Hugh Fltzsimmons, the driver of
the taxlcab; Mrs. Clara Moore. In whose
apartment Mr. Holmes was stricken; Jos
ephine Wells. Mrs. Moore's maid, and
Frederick Morehead, elevator man In
the apartment-house in which Mrs. Moore
lived. Morehead and Miss Wells assisted
Holmes to the cab which had been called
to take him to the hotel.
Later the four were released, as an
autopsy showed that death was caused
by heart failure, superinduced by a com
plication of kidney and other diseases.
GUILTY OR MANSLAUGHTER
Spokane Burglar Convicted for Kill
ing Motorman.
SPOKANE. May 29. After being out all
night, the jury in the case of Curtis
Hawkinberry. charged with the murder
of Percy Schultz. a motorman, returned a
verdict of guilty of manslaughter this
morning. Hawkinberry was charged with
killing Schults while committing burglary.
The murder occurred on the night of
December 7 in the Kaiser Hotel after
Schultx had surprised the burglar at his
work. A terrific scuffle ensued, during
which Schultz was shot and instantly
killed. His money belt, containing over
00. was missing. The evidence against
Hawkinberry was solely circumstantial
A curious Incident happened during a
fttR hunt on Exrooor. Knfrland. After a
fine iraliop the tajr was taken, and in his
struggles h upset several beehives. Hounds
and field were routed, and It was -some
time before the taft'a body could be re
covered by men swathed in muslin.

TAIN HER VISITORS? '
"Why doesn't Mayor Lane appoint
& committee of public-spirited citi-'
sens to arrapg-e for the proper e
tertatnment of the officers of the
warships that will be here next
week?
"Why isn't It possible for the citi
zens of Portland to raise a few hun
dred dollars to entertain in a right
royal manner the few scose naval
officers who are attached to the torpedo-boat
flotilla 7
"Why doesn't President Josselyn,
of the Portland Railway, Light &
Power Company, come out and say
that hia company will honor the uni
form of the American Navy while
the warships are here?
"Why don't the managers of the
local theaters and the managers of
all local amusement .places throw
their doors wide open to the 'Jackles
during their visit V
The foregoing are questions which
Thomas McCusker submitted to the
Bose Festival committee yesterday
afternoon,- and which the Festival
management says It cannot answer
because its finances are in such
shape that It is unable to arrange
for any lavish entertainment of the
officers of the naval squadron, which
will be the city's guest during the
week's Jubilee.
Unless the people of Portland come to
the front and register their accommoda
tions for Rose Festival visitors within
the next few days, the problem of taking
care of the strangers that will be within
the city's gates will be a much more
serious one than that which confronted
the management of the "World's Fair
three years ago. Where hundreds of
rooms with board and lodging have been
listed, there have been applications for
thousands and the residents of the city
have apparently taken the view that the
Festival is not going to be an important
publics demonstration.
Local hotel proprietors have decided
that there will be no raise in the price of
accommodations either for European or
American plan guests, and it is extremely
doubtful If all the caravanseries in town
will be able to provide quarters for the
hordes of visitors who will be in the city,
next week.
The work of decorating the down-town
business district with flowers, bunting,
streamers and other forms of embellish
ment has already begun, and many
blocks have assumed a gala attire not
only for the Memorial day celebration
but for the events of the Rose Festival.
Decorators have been at work for the
past two or three days whipping the
fronts of many of the leading stores into
fine artistic shape' for the Festival, and
judging from the preliminary and un
completed work, it Is a certainty that
Portland will be attired in a more gala
investiture for the coming week than
the city ever has experienced before.
Outside Towns Offer Roses.
"v7hile some of the most enthusiastic of
the merchants have begun their work of
decorating, the majority will wait until
the first part of next week so that they
may be sure to have a fine showing and
take a smaller chance on the weather.
The metereological , conditions have all
been against anything like an elaborate
scheme of decoration and it is doubtful
if the mercantile district can be put in
the spick and span shape that it should
be, in view of the nasty weather of the
past week.
The roses have been held back and
just to show the spirit of many of the
Oregon communities, several towns in
this region have notified the Festival As
sociation that they are willing to send
all the roses their communities produce
Describes Beauties of the South Seas
Portland Woman Writes to Friend of the TrSpical Island of Tahiti, Its
Scenery and Its People.
A PARTY of Portland people, composed
of Dr. and Mrs. Holt "Wilson, Mrs.
Howard I Mather and Miss Martha Hoyt,
is now traveling in the South Seas. A mem
ber of this party has written to a Port
land friend a letter containing a vivid de
scription of the beauties of Tahiti, of
which the following is an extract:
Papctee, April 30. "And ohl if there be an
Elysium upon earth it la thta It Is this!"
Moore's lovely simile naturally recurs to
me, for neither words nor pen can describe
how beautiful it ail Is and all is true that
has been written of this enchanting spot. I
hardly know where to begin, for there is so
much to tell, and yet how to describe it seems
Impossible. Laat nipht waa very, very rough
and stormy at eea, and sleep was impossible
after 1 o'clock, at which hour I heard voices
on deck, so I arose and looked out, and there
was the Point Venus light just a little star
on the horizon; slowly it grew and grew,
and then behind It loomed a huge, dark mats,
that I knew must be Tahiti. I got up to
see it, and then we went back to bed to
wait for daylight, and with the first streak
of dawn, we were dressed and out on deck,
and oh! I can't tell you how wonderful it
looked, though at that great distance, not one
bit tropical, for all we could see were great
mountains, whose tops were lost in the clouds,
and divided by deep ravin ea, and all covered
with different shades of green moss, soft as
velvet, and the sun touching everything here
and there, making the effect splendid.
Then, not far away, on the other side of
the ship, lay dainty, beautiful Moorea, backed
in a flood of golden sunlight; and as we
drew nearer and nearer, and fir one beauty
and then another came into view, I could but
hold my hands tight and breathe hard. I
had no words to do justice to the scene. I
still feel that I will awaken suddenly and
find it only a dream. The entrance to the
harbor was most Interesting first we laid
outside the coral reef, until the pilot and
health officer came on board, and then we
slowly steamer ahead, and as we had been
told io it was we entered through this nar
row opening in the reef and just floated into
the bay. with beautiful Papetee before us,
and what a sight it was!
I think the whole town was on the shore
to welcome us. and such a mixing of color
you- never saw. It took us nearly an hour
after we entered the bay before we landed,
and since then we have met so many old
friends in the flowers and shrubs. The ole
ander, the jasmine, etc., and the flam
boyant tree that lines ths streets, resembles
markedly the China umbrella, only it is
much larger. Then the banana Is also an
old friend the date palm likewise, and
the cocoa nut tree is evtry where and most
picturesque. The main street of the town
lies along the ocean front, and from it
others run up towards the hills, and all are
i
in order to make the Festival an im
qualified success. The season being as
backward as it is, it is not unlikely
that neighboring communities will be
asked to send in their flora! contribu
tions, although local rose culturalists
declare that there will be a goodly por
tion of the early crop of roses ready for
the .exhibit and for all decorative pur
poses. Auto Races Xew Sight to Sailors.
One of the big events of Festival week,
the 100-mile and 50-mlle automobile races,
will furnish an entrancing form of amuse
ment and entertainment for the officers
of the warships which will be in port all
next week, the like of which they have
not seen so far on their around-the-world
voyage aed will probably not see
on the balance of the trip. The Portland
Automobile Clubs committee has ar
ranged to have motor-cars take all the
naval officers of the mosquito fleet out
to the course pf these dare-devil races
and to give them the best opportunity in
the world of seeing the trouble wagons
tear off space at the rate of from 60 to
75 miles an hour. Being the guests of
the local Automobile Club for this day's
functions, the sea warriors will be con
ducted to the most advantageous points
along the course where they may see the
great contests.

Peninsula's Plans for Rose Festival
The executive committee of the Penin
sula Rose Festival Association held a
late session at the library-rooms at Pen
insula Station Thursday night. There was
full discussion of plans for the coming
week. Chairman Peddlcord was Instructed
to purchase ribbons for 1000 bouquets to
start with, and young: women living on
the Peninsula will have charge of the
rose booths at the Union Depot and For
restry building. They will come from
each neighborhood, including St. John.
It was reported that $1000 had been raised,
including the money for the St. John
float. This was raised from the follow
ing sources: .St. John, $500. float: real
estate men, $300; citizens, 200. At the
meeting of the executive committee, S. Q.
Slbray reported J50 cash from University
Park. It was reported that practically
all plans for the part the Peninsula
will have in the Rose Festival had been
worked out. Roses will be gathered every
morning by committees from the several
neighborhoods and brought In by a spe
cial car, wnicn win. De sent out by the
company for this purpose.
Reduced Rates to Festival.
In the further interest of the Rose
Festival, the local passenger depart
ment of the Harriman lines yesterday
announced that excursion rates from
The Dalles, Albany and Corvallis and
all intermediate points to Portland
would prevail daily, June 1 to 6 in
clusive. As announced originally
.these reduced rates were to apply only
every alternate day during the Fes
tival. shaded by beautiful cocoanut and flamboyant
trees. The houses are quaint little places,
burled In troDlcal plants. The natives are
a most lovable family people, the women
beautiful and the men large and handsome.
The women all dress In the "Alu" a na
tive dress like the Mother Hubbard, and
the men a paru and coat, the paru being;
a bright colored cloth wrapped about the
body. They speak almost no English, only
French, besides their native tongue, which
latter is very musical.
Lorlnlas. as the guide-books tell us. Is the
only place to go to. She is a great figure
h" big. fat, sweet-faced woman with a
charming voice and attractive manner a
native, of course. She waa at the wharf
when we landed, and we were fortunate
enough to get the pick of her rooms. She
has a place right In the center of the town,
where she serves her meals and accommo
dates some boarders, but the annex, about
eight or ten blocks distant, and right on the
ocean front, is the choice place and we
were lucky enough to get In there. Our
rooms are most primitive, but clean and
comfortable, and the carriage takes us to
and from our meals each day. Mine looks
out on a lovely garden, and then onto the
gorgeous hills; while the front of the bouse
faces the ocean, and dainty, lovely Moorea
lays right ahead, near enough about to
touch. Outside of the rooms hang bunches
of oranges and bananas that we can help
ourselves to whenever we please. The beds
all have nets, and only a sheet for a cover-,
ing. and we sleep with doors and windows
open. So far no Insects at all. not even
mosquitoes, and the climate Is like our
beautiful Oregon Summer. We are up early
and have coffee and toast served: then the
town is alive until 10, when everything closes
up until 2 o'clock. We have breakfast or
lunch at 11. then shed clothes and loaf or
nap until time to dress for dinner. We have
a large stone basin in which we
bathe in clear, cool water; and It's refresh
ing beyond words. The native fruits are de
licious the like of which I have never
tasted before the cocoanut milk is the
great drink, and then you spoon out the in
side of the nut, and it's simply perfect.
The' mummy apple I don't care for very
much. The fish, lobsters and shrimps are
excellent.
In about ten days we are going over to
Moorea to remain a week or two, and they
tell us we will never want to come back;
it must Indeed be an Eden upon earth, if it
can surpass Papetee. We go over on a little
steamboat and take about four hours to
make the 22 miles. Then next week we are
going to a beautiful place called Papers
driving the distance about 25 miles, and
there we will stay possibly a week. We are
told the trip around Tahiti is very rough
and hard, and does not pay one, so we don't
much think we w-ill take it. I could go on
writing about this hea-enly spot indefinitely,
tnr it is simply a paradise, and 1 feel that
what X have written ia far below Its deserts
CULLS HURT PRICES
Inferior Apples Put on Eastern
Market.
DEALERS LOSE IN THE END
Oscar Yanderbllt Declares Oregon
Growers Are Xot Worrying as
Superior Fruit Will Still Com
mand Top . Figures.
Oregon apple growers are not worrying
because of the condition of the apple
market In the East, which Is at a low
ebb. The low prices are the result of
a greedy combination between the grocers
of the Middle West, New York and New
England and the Eastern, dealers. Be
cause of the fancy prices that t'je fruit
had been bringing, something like six mil
lion barrels of apples were put in cold
storage. They were the worst kind of
culls, apples that would ordinarily have
found their way into the cider mills,
driers, or would - have been left on the
ground to rot. The growers, of course,
got his money for these culls and it was
the dealers who lost, especially those who
paid fancy prices for good varieties.
With the storage plants bulging with in
ferior apples, the dealers waited until the
high-class fruits were thrown on the mar
kets. Then the dealers who had bought
the cheap fruit began unloading and the
result was that the bottom fell out of
the market. The grade of fruit that was
barreled and placed in cold storage began
to rot just as soon as it was taken out
with the result that consumers, after buy
ing one barrel and getting more than
half rotten ones, quit buying the fruit
altogether. The dealers then found they
were overloaded, shipped apples back
West and this also killed the Western
market.
This explanation of the apple situation
was made last night by Oscar Vanderbilt,
of Hood River. Mr. Vanderbilt was at
first mystified by the condition of the.
market, and it was not until he had made
a most searching investigation that he
discovered the real cause.
"I think the dealers are pretty well sat
isfied now that they have been stung good
and plenty," said Mr. Vanderbilt. "Some
of the growers also will discover that they
have been hurt, for consumers, having
refused to pay for rotten apples, have
turned to other fruit. The Oregon grow
ers had no part in this attempted grab.
Our apples always brought good prices In
the East, and they will continue to do so.
"Another thing that hurt the market
was the large crops. This year, from ac
counts I have been reading, the apple
belt in the Middle West has been dam-,
aged fully 50 per cent .by heavy frosts.
Colorado, our keenest competitor In
boxed apples, has also suffered. The
frost which struck that state during April
was severe . and I doubt very much
whether Colorado will be able to raise 25
per cent of the usual crop.
"When the Eastern buyers land at Hood
River this Fall they will have to meet
our prices. The Fruitgrowers' Union of
Hood Hlver is building a large cold-stor
age plant, large enough to store the big
apple crop that Is coming on, and if the
prices ere not right our apples will be

My Special Treatment
The vast multitudes of men who have taken
my treatment have not been disappointed. They
know that I do not promise more than I per

claim, namely, that my treatment is as certain
to cure as it is that the patient engages my
services and follows my directions. My success
Is due not alone to education, experience, skill
and scientific equipment, but to the fact that I

MY" TREATMENT FOR WEAKXESS
Functional derangement, such as premature
loss of power, etc.. is neither a "weakness" nor
a disease. It fs a symptom of prostatic disorder.
To stimulate activity by the use of powerful
tonics is an easy matter, but such results are
merely temporary drug effects. Most doctors
treat "weakness in this manner because they do
not know how to cure the real cause of the
derangement. T am the only physician employ

abnormal condition of that vital center, the
