i'ews of the AVaterfront.
Customs receipts for the fiscal year
which will end June 30, have already
passed the million dollar mark and the
rating of the local office will be main
tained. The receipts yesterday amounted
to $50,143, which boosted the total re
turns of the office to $1,007,175.86, a figure
which te slightly below the total receipts
for the fiscal year which ended June 30,
1907.
While the year which will colse the end
of the present month will be a few dol
lars short of tne record-breaking season
of 190S-7, it will be sufficiently large to
keep Portland well in the front Tank as
one of the principal customs stations of
the Unitpd States. The receipts for the
year ending June 30, 1907, totaled Jl. 185.000.
Prior to that time the greatest year in
the history of tho Portland Customs
house was $S20,000. The season of 1906-7
was1 one of the greatest in the history
of Portland botli from a standpoint of
imports and exports. In grain shipments
the present season will far outclass last
year but In the matter of customs re
ceipts there will be a .small deficiency.
The season which will, open July 1 bids
fair to break all records both In the value
of Imports and the quantity of grain
shipped foreign.
California shipments of wheat are in
creasing steadily and a large quantity of
the old crop wheat Is being sent to the
south on coasting steamships. Regular
liners are taking full loads and the coast
ing trade is good.

J. D. Zurcher, secretary of the Rose
burg Commercial Club, was in Portland
yesterday and visited the Portland Com
mercial Club. Mr. Zurcher Is deeply in
terested in the development of the
Umpqua Valley, especially in the matter
of fruitraislng. The Roseburg Commer

the work of exploiting the resources of
that region as an agricultural and fruit

small fruit ranches In this district are
producing, Mr. Zurcher said yesterday.

COMMITTEE ON ENTERTAINMENT.
THINGS ALL RIGHT
Railroads Have No Complaint,
Says Henry Blakeley.
MORE BUSINESS THAN 1906
Traffic Xot Vp to Kecords of 190 7,
but That Is Xot to Be Expected.
Northern Pacific Freight Agent
Talks of General Conditions.
That the country is all right, that traf
fic conditions are as good as could be
expected and that the railroads have no
complaint to make. Is tire statement of
Henry Blakeley, general western freight
agent for the Northern Pacific, of Ta
coma. who spent yesterday in Portland.
Mr. Blakeley says things look brighter
than they did some time ago and that In
his ppinion it will only be a short time
until no complaint is heard anywhere;
in fact, he is quite well satisfied with
traffic conditions right now.
"There is more business in the coun
try now than there was in 1906," said Mr.
Blakeley yesterday. "No complaint was
heard then, for everybody was happy.
The traffic carried now is considerably
over that of 1006 and 1905. I do not think
anyone will expect business to keep up
to what It was last year. We will prob
ably get back to it some time, but there
is a limit to the length of time that busi
ness can go on increasing 20 and 30 per
cent in a year. There has got to be a
stop sometime. Traffic cannot continue
indefinitely at the peak. The wave is
bound to recede.
"Thess things are not to be explained.
Business seems to follow no known rules.
Immigration to the West is the same way
in a sense. For a series of four or five
years there will be a heavy movement
to the Pacific Coast by settlers. Then
for the following few years, with con
ditions practically the same, hardly any
new settlers will come. I do not know
any reason for It any more than for these
let-ups in business.
"There's nothing the matter with this
country. We are getting back on our
feet again and are generally prosperous.
Business is bound to slow up at times,
but the pendulum will swing the other
way just a3 certainly."
MORE CARS FOR SALEM LIXE
General Manager Talbot Goes East
for Rolling Stock. '
G. W. Talbot, general manager of the
Oregon Electric Railway Company, will
leave the last of this week for a three
weeks' trip Fast, where he goes to
purchase equipment for the Portland
Salem interurban line. He will visit
Chicago and New York, and will hold
conferences with Duilders of electric
passenger and freight cars before let
ting the contract for the construction
of the new rolling etock. He expects
to be able to purchase a portion of
the order from available stocks still in
the hands of manufacturers, orders for
which have been cancelled by those
who contracted for them. Railroad
men say that large numbers of cars
have been left on the hands of manu
facturers through the cancelling 'of or
ders for rolling stock.
Orders that will be placed by General
Manager Talbot on his trip include six
passenger cars, two express cars and
75 freight cars. All will be bought
with the understanding that they will
be delivered within the next two
months. This new rolling stock will
cost the company $150,000.
EAT BERRIES AT HOOD RIVER
Portland Excursion to Strawberry
Festival Juno 13.
Under the special auspices of General
Passenger Agent McMurray, of the Har
rlman lines in this territory, a special
excursion will be run to Hood River on
Saturday, June 13, to carry Portland peo
ple who desire to attend the annual
strawberry festival at that place. Berries
will be at their best, it is predicted, on
that date and the citizens of Hood River
invite Portland business men to make the
trip and partake of a bountiful lunch of
the famous Hood River strawberries.
There will be plenty of entertainment for
visitors, arrangements having been made
by the people of the famous fruit city.
The railroad officials expect that there
will be 400 or 500 people attend the festi
val from Portland. The excursion is in
line with the general policy ot the rail
road company of building up the com
munity spirit and bringing the different
cities of the state into closer relation
ship with Portland.
Contract for Concrete "Warehouse.
The contract for the construction of
the concrete freight warehouse for the
Oregon Electric Railway Company, to
be built at Front and Jefferson streets,
has been awarded to the building
firm of Litherland & Abrey and work
will be commenced at once on the

NO JETTIES AT TILLAMOOK
Roessler Reports Commerce Does
Xot Justify Expense.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, June 9. It will probably be
many years before Congress authorizes
any material improvement of the chan
nel across the bar at the entrance of
Tillamook Bay, and quite as many
yeare before any extensive improve
ment is made in the channel from the
bar to Tillamook City. It is the uni
versal opinion of engineer officers that
the commerce of Tillamook Bay, pres
and prospective, does not justify the
expenditure of any great sum of money
and the fact that a railroad is soon to
be extended to Tillamook is a further
and perhaps more potent reason why
Congress will not Authorize large ex
penditures on this harbor. The rail
road, now building, will be able to
handle practically all of the freight
originating In the Tillamook country,
and will tend further to 'decrease ship
ping by -'water. The water shipments
to and from Tillamook are today only
half what they were ten years ago, the
decline having been eteady and grad
ual. The decrease Is expected to be
even more marked after the railroad
begins operation.
. The Tillamook situation is fully dis
cussed in a report of Colonel Roessler,
recently sent to Congress. His report
recommends the appropriation of $5000
to repair existing works in the harbor,
an(f recommends the annual expendi
ture of $5000 for maintaining a channel
at the present depth, as far as Tilla
mook City. The Engineer Board and
chief of engineers concur in this rec
ommendation, and that report will limit
th$ appropriation to ' be made In the
next river and harbor bill.
BISHOP NEELY EXPLAINS
An Incident at the Recent Methodist
General Conference.
NEW YORK, June 4. (To the Editor.)
A friend has sent me a clipping from
The Oregonian of May 23. It purports
to be a communication from Rev. . D. L.
Rader touching matters In the general
conference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church in the city of Baltimore. That
the article Is attributed to Dr. D. L.
Rader greatly surprises me so much so.
indeed, that I am inclined to doubt
whether he is the real author of the
news item. ;
In the first place, the writer referred
to speaks of "Bishop Ne'ely as well as
Bishop Burt having been born in the
British Isles." -In this age of liberality
and of human unity, one must be amazed)
at such a reflection on a man's place of
birth, for "a man's a man for a' that."
As a matter of fact, I was not born in
the British Isles, but in the City of Phil
adelphia and the State of Pennsylvania,
in the United States of America, and may
claim to be a fairly good American. It
Is no dishonor to be an Englishman, but
it does not happen to be correct in my
case. v a
As to the "high-handed dealings" in
South America, there is not a word of
truth in the statement or insinuation,
and the suggestion is contrary to the
declarations of every conference that has
met in South America during the quad
rennium when I had charge. Before me
I happen to have a few of the many
declarations made by those bodies. They
speak of the bishop's "gracious words in
sermons.- addresses and,4rlvate consulta
tions," of their "deep appreciation of his
ability in administering the affairs of
the mission, his interest in all the de
partments of our work, and' the uniform
kindness and courtesy which he has
shown to us officially, and personally."
They recognize "the wise and just ad
ministration of our beloved Bishop
Thomas B. Neely during the residence
in South America," and they appeal to
the general conference "to continue the
residence of Bishop Neely for another
quadrennium in South America." These
and many other expressions show that
the declaration and insinuation are with
out foundation and must have grown out
of some misrepresentation or miscon
ception. . . r, .
As to complaints, that Is a common
thing In regard to the bishops at every
general conference. It is easy to make
a complaint against anybody, so that a
complaint of Itself does not prove any
thing against a bishop. - Dissatisfied and
venomous persons can easily And their
way into court arid often Just as easily
out again.
As In tne case of a. number of my
brethren, complaints came up In regard
to myself, but not one suggestion of mal
administration was sustained. In the
particular case to which your correspond
ent refers, the general conference de
cided that the bishop acted "within his
disciplinary discretion," that Is t& say,
within his legal rights. Neither a bishop
nor the general conference can primarily
determine the moral standing of a min
ister of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
Only the annual conference, to which the
minister belongs can do that. When the
annual conference passes a preacher's
character and declares him in good stand
ing, the bishop cannot go -back of the de
cision, but must give him an appoint
ment. Even a general conference can
not go back of that, 'for it is an appellate
court and not 'a court of original Juris
diction. The preacher in question has never had
a charge preferred against him and for
over 40 years his character has been
passed year after year by his annual
conference. He. ts the greatest Spanish
preacher in South America, and he gets
more persons converted than any -ten
other men in that field. Every bishop
who has ever been in South America and
every superintendent under whom he
served have, under the same circum
stances, given him the best appoint
ments in. the conference and many times
he has been made presiding elder. What
I did was ho -more, but rather less, than
has been done with him, through more
than two score years. I made him one
of five editors of a little paper which he
had originated, the pastor of a church
which he had founded, gave him a lit
tle country district of about five charges
and I brought him to Buenos Ayres and
gave him the district, at the suggestion
of a long-time presiding elder who,
strange to say, appeared as a complaint
ant on this very point. i
The explanation is a little church poli
tics, the long-time presiding elder having
been defeated in-the election of a dele
gate .to the general conference. As a
matter of fact, the complaint did not rep
resent the sentiment Of the conference,
but of a little coterie nearly all of which
was outside the conference and the leader
of the complainants was .shown to be a
whisky seller, a rather strange advocate
of temperance. - This fact shows the ut
ter insincerity of the movement. They
had allowed this minister to go un
challenged all the years in : his annual
conference and then, defeated in the elec
tion, they tried to make trouble in the
general conference where they did not
fairly represent the situation. The
Oregonian correspondent, like some oth
ers, seems to have been misled.
During all the years, I have been a
stanch temperance man, and it was not
likely that anytning can break my record.
That some extremists misunderstood the
case only proves that they were extrem
ists or that they had some peculiar mo
tive, as was shown in more than one in
stance. The minister In question claimed
he had a good defense, but to assail his
moral conduct in th general conference.

DEFENDS COTTEL MEASURE
PRESIDENT OF XATIOXAIj SPIR
ITUALISTS WRITES LETTER.
Suspension of Oregon State Society
Likely to Follow Recent
Unpleasantness.
George B. Warne, president of the Na
tional Spiritualists' Association of Amer
ica, has come to the defense of the First
Spiritualists' Society, of this city, and in
a letter of recent date, which was for
mally read at the meeting of the local
body Monday, declares that the state
ment of Mrs. Sophia Seip, to the effect
that he was not in favor of the Cottel or
dinance, Is false. Mr. Warne, who has
been taking considerable interest in Har
rison D. Barrett's campaign against fake
mediums In Portland, denies that he ever
wrote Mrs. Seip, president of the Oregon
State Spiritualists' Society, advising the
organization to hold a mass meeting or
to take a stand against the ordinance.
In order to make, his position in the
controversy perfectly clear, it is stated
that Mr. Warne will come to Portland
from Chicago the latter part of the
month. According to Rev. G. C. Love,
a missionary of the .society, a -telegram
is expected today or tomorrow from Mr.
Warne ordering the suspension of the
Oregon State Spiritualists' Society and
the dismissal of its president. In case
such action is taken, there will be no
state organization until after Mr. Warne's
arrival, when, with his aid, the associa
tion may be reorganized. Mr. Warne's
letter to Mr. Barrett, denying Mrs. Seip's
insinuation, is emphatic and showed
plainly that he is against fake mediums
and strongly in lavor or tne coitet orui
nance. He also made it known that he is
displeased at the attitude Mrs. Seip
had taken, and especially at her asser
tlons that he had suggested a mass meet
ing to oppose the passage of the ordi
nance. Rev. Mr. Love, who has been an im
portant factor in opposition to the tactics
ot the state association, lias had a call
from the First Spiritualist Society, of
Seattle, whjch he is favorably consider
ing, and may not be in the city upon
Mr. Warne's arrival. It was Mr. Love
who officially brought the charges against
the state association and voluntarily went
to the defense of Mr. Barrett.
About 500 persons crowded United Arti
sans Hall in the Abington building last
night to attend the services of the First
Spiritualists' Society and listen to Mr.
Barrett's address on "Has there been one
genuine message received from the dead?"
Mr. Barrett scored the frauds and ex
posed the fakes. He dwelt on 3S dif
ferent methods of manifestations and
denounced 95 per cent of so-called spirit
ualistic manifestations to be rank hum
bugs. During his discourse he took oc
casion to commend The Oregonian for the
fair manner in which the recent contro
versy was handled. At the mention of
The Oregonian those present applauded.

American Railway Association, just Issued-,
but dated May 27. On that date
there were 3S1.779 Idle freight cars, against
404,475 on May 13, the date of the previous
report. This makes the second consecu

crease in traffic has been sufficient to
require the use of all these cars. A fur

The number of Idle box-cars did not vary
materially during the last half of May.

To stimulate activity bv 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. I am the only phvsiclan employ
