Newspaper Page Text14 THE 3IORMXG' OREGOXIAX, WEDNESDAY, JULY 8, 1903. T SHOWS BIG GAIN Business for Last Fiscal Year Is Greatly in Excess of the Preceding One. DUTIES SOMEWHAT SHORT port , Business Increases to the Value of Nearly Six Millions of Iollars Greater Number of Vessels Enter and Clear. Collector of Customs Malcolm has pre pared his annuai report of the business transacted by the local office during the fiscal year that ended June 30. The re port shows a substantial gain in the busi ness of Portland and is statistical evi dence of the shipping which is . carried on at this port. As compared with the business of . the preceding year, the season just closed shows an increase in exports amounting to $5,832,551. The receipts for the year ending June 30, 1908. were a trifle short of those for the same period a year be fore. This was largely due to the fact that several of the regular line China steamships discharged Eastern freight at San Francisco, and also to the falling off In the demand for firecrackers of Orien tal make. During the year of 1907 the steamship Arabia brought a shipment of firecrackers which paid the Government, through the Portland Custom-House, over $100,000. Figuring the value of the car goes, and not the duty collected, the business has been much greater during the year just closed. There has also been a decided increase in the number of vessels that have en tered and cleared both from and for for eign and domestic ports. The number of foreign clearances Increased from 121 to 161. and coastwise from 443 to 623. The domestic clearances were in the face of the stagnated condition of the lumber market in California. A detailed statement of the transactions for the two years follows: YEAR ENDING JUNE 80, 1008.

City Auditor Barbur said yesterday that he will seek advice from City At torney Kavanaugh before acting on the decision of Circuit Judge O'Day, rendered Monday, which nullifies the present man ner of assessing improvements. The court held that assessment must be in accord ance with the benefit to the property as sessed. Instead of by the plan now fol lowed, which is to levy equally along the improvement. "As I understand the decision of Judge O'Day. it is the duty of the Auditor to view the property in person before levy ing the assessment," said City Auditor Barbur. "If this Is the case, it will be necessary for me to have at least four additional deputies to perform such work, for there is more lmprovementbeing done now than at any time in the" history of Portland. I understand from what I have heard about the court's decision that he holds the law to require the Auditor to inspect each lot and to fix the as sessment to each lot Individually. I do, not fully see how this could well be done, for if a certain sum were to be levied and the owner of that piece of property should learn from the estimate of the City Engineer that it does not cost that much to do the work there, it seems to me such a person would have a grievance. However, it is a matter that will have to be referred to the City At torney, and I will then act on his advice." Inasmuch as there have been so many complaints against assessments for pay ment of improvements, it Is said that the provisions of the charter in this regard may be revised, together with others, when the committee of 15 taxpayers is named by Mayor Lane and the special committee of the City Council, composed of Councilmen Baker and Cellars. It is believed that It can be greatly simplified In some respects. Fanatics Hide Girl Away. CLEVELiAXD, July 7.

BIG INDUSTRIES RESUMED President Commercial Club Also Discusses Politics and Declares Bourne Is Now Nonentity In Senate and W ith Roosevelt. Having visited the Eastern, states twice during the last two months, C. W. Hod son, president of the Portland Commer cial Club, who has just returned from Co lumbus, Ohio, where he attended the an nual convention of the United Commercial Travelers, reports a substantial improvement- In business conditions throughout the country In the last 60 days. On his recent visit Mr. Hodson was in formed by prominent interests that while trade conditions in the East and the South had slumped since the financial flurry last Fall, the volume of trade with the Western states had been equally as good as that of a year ago. En route home, Mr. Hodson attended the late Re publican National Convention at Chicago, and made some interesting observations of the proceedings of that notable gath ering. Railroads Use More Cars. "As an evidence of the fact that busi ness conditions have improved during the last two months," said Mr. Hodson yes terday, "I was Informed on my recent visit that the railroads are using 60,000 more cars than were required two months before. While In Chicago the newspapers published a story to the effect that repre sentatives of five of the prominent inter ests of the country held a conference In the convention city the night before ths nomination of Secretary Taft for Presi dent and the adoption by the convention of its platform. This conference, it was reported, was attended by representatives of the Bteel trust, J. P. Morgan, Rockefel ler, the insurance companies and I hlnk, the fifth Interest was the Guggen heims, representing the immense smelters of the country. At this meeting it was agreed that if Taft should be nominated .nd the anti-injunction plank proposed for the National platform was toned down satisfactorily so as not to Interfere with the operation of these interests, the vari ous enterprises represented at this con ference would resume the activities, that wero in effect at this time last year." "That this report was not manufactured entirely of whole cloth was Indicated from the fact that within a week, three of the large steel plants at Pittsburg, which had been closed down for some time, were started up and since returning home I have read In the news dispatches that over 50.000 additional men are now em ployed in the steel plants of Pennsylvania. Convention Well Organized. 'I have seen some well organized polit ical conventions in my time but that at Chicago last month was about the smoothest working one In every detail that I ever attended. So completely was the situation in hand that the over-conservatives and allies submitted to the dictation of the friends of Taft in the committees so that nothing like a contro versy was precipitated on the convention floor. For v instance. Secretary Taft's managers. Hitchcock and Vorys, pre dicted that he would receive 704 votes on the first ballot. Taft actually received 702. two of the delegates, pledged to sup port the War Secretary, having been pre vented by Illness from attending the convention. . "Senator Bourne was In evidence with tils 'second elective term" propaganda but It did not avail him anything. It has been charged that Bourne had a hand with the allies by which the Roosevelt demonstration was inspired both in the streets of Chicago and in the convention hall. This demonstration, by the way, was participated in only by the specta tors, none ' of the delegates or the alter nates, who were seated In the convention taking any part. As soon as the hubbub had subsided the convention proceeded with the transaction of Its business. Bourne's Career at End. 'For a time following Bourne's arrival at Washington he was active in depart mental affairs at the National capital and the Impression was current that he might make good but it was not long until he began to get busy on his 'sec ond elective term' programme to the neglect of all other public business. Presi dent Roosevelt tolerated Bourne and his theories only so long as they served the President's purposes in holding out to the allies the possibility that he might accept another nomination at the hands of the convention. When this had been done. Bourne was ditched by the Presi dent. The Oregon Senator now finds himself discredited by the President and ignored by the members of the Senate to, the end that he is a political nonentity" as Senator from this state. "Throughout the East I found a great deal of adverse criticism of Oregon be cause of its system of direct legislation which, through the initiative and refer endum, makes possible legislation by aU sorts of theorists. The present system has given the state an unfavorable name in the East. In a discussion with me one day, the representative of large Interests ridiculed the idea oi undertaking to ex ploit railroads or any other project in this state. 'Why. with such theorists as you have In your state,' he said, 'and the machinery of legislation they have In their control, it would be a matter of only a short time until they would tax us out of existence.' " HOWARD TO REPORT SOON Dividend Will Then Be Declared to Ross Bank Depositors. The time for receiving proofs of claims against the defunct Title Guar antee & Trust Company has expired, and Receiver B S. Howard, Jr.. reports that practically all of the claims have been presented. Proof of all of the larger accounts has been filed with Re ceiver Howard as directed by United States Judge Wolverton. and only a few of the smaller creditors have failed to comply with the order of the court. Receiver Howard Is now engaged com piling liis report to the court. It will be on this showing that the first divi dend will be declared. "It Is impossible for me at this time to say when my report will be ready to be presented to Judge Wolverton," said Receiver Howard yesterday. "Neither can I Indicate what the divi dend will be. That can only be deter mined when the aggregate of the claims has been computed and com pared with the assets of the bank. I have begun work on my report, and at the earliest possible moment that It can be completed, the report will be presented to the court. When this has been done. Judge Wolverton will au thorize the payment of the Initial dividend." RATE ARGCMEXTS CONCLUDED Court Withholds Decision In Suit Between Railroads. Arguments in the suit of the O. R. N. against the Oregon Railroad Com mission to defeat" the enforcement of a reduction In the distributive rates or dered by the Commission over the rail road between Portland and points east of The Dalles, were concluded In the United States Court yesterday after noon. Judge Worverton reserved a de cision in the controversy until he has had time to Investigate- the numerous authorities and decisions that were cited by opposing counsel. In the argument, W. W. Cotton, chief counsel for the Harrlman lines in this territory, appeared for the railroad company, while the Railroad Commis sion was represented by Joseph N. Teal and Attorney-General A. M. Crawford. OPENS AS NATIONAL BANK LUMBERMEN'S NATIONAL IS N"EW NAME SELECTED. Officers Are Practically Same as When Institution Was Known as Bankers & Lumbermen's. The new Lumbermen's National Bank, the successor to the Bankers' & Lumber men's' Bank, started business yesterday, having received authority In a telegram from the Controller of the Treasury to open its doors under the new National bank organization. The Bankers' & Lumbermen's Bank was organized May 28. 1906. And has carried on a successful business since that date. It was thought best by the management this Spring to Nationalize the institution, and the change was accomplished easily, owing to the sound condition of the bank. There will be no change In officers of the new Institution, with the exception that George L. McPherson will be added to the list of directors and will be vice president. John A. Keating retains his position as vice-president and general manager. Other officers are: President, G. K. Wentworth; cashier, H. D. Story; assistant cashier. F. A. Freeman. Direc tors: G. K.

NOTTINGHAM MAT BE PROSECUTED Council May Reject Resolution Ordering Proceedings Stopped. LIVELY SESSION PROMISED Besides Nottingham Affair Two Veto Messages From Mayor Are to Be Considered and Ordinance Closing Saloons to Women. That the City Council will not adopt the resolution recommended by its com mittee on health and police, arbitrarily stopping the prosecution of State Sen ator Nottingham for an alleged viola tion of the building ordinances, is be lieved from developments yesterday. The Council will meet at 9:30 o'clock this morning, and among the items of business is the resolution. It is said that it will be defeated, as the im pression seems to prevail among some of the Councilmen that to take such a step would be a piece of high-handedness and unwarranted usurpation of the functions of the City Attorney. Senator Nottingham secured a special permit from the Council which is de clared by City Attorney Kavanaugh to be illegal because it is "class legisla tion,' and proceeded to construct inside the fire limits on the East Side a two story frame building. He was arrested by Building Inspector Dobson, but con tinued work In spite of this, and com pleted the structure, which is declared by Mr. Dobson to be the worst viola tion of the building ordinances he has ever witnessed. Fight Is Expected. The arrest of Senator Nottingham brought the matter to the attention of the Council, which at its last regular session, referred the proceedings to the committee on health and police. At Us meeting last Friday, a 'najority of the members of the committee recommend ed the adoption of a resolution pre pared by ex-City Attorney McNary, in structing City Attorney Kavanaugh to cease prosecution of Senator Notting ham. Councilman Concannon, chairman of the committee, will offer a minority report. It Is expected that a big fight will occur when the matter comes up for action In the Council today, but it is believed, from statements made by Councilmen yesterday, that the resolu tion summarily ordering City Attorney Kavanaugh to drop the case, will meet defeat. It is said that some of the Councilmen feel that Senator Notting ham has far exceeded the provisions of the permit, anyway, and that he will, as a result, be obliged to take the con sequences. Two Measures Vetoed. The session of the Council today will undoubtedly be lively, for in addition to the Nottingham resolution, there are two veto messages from Mayor Lane. One is on the ordinance Increasing the licenses of street venders, and the other is on the ordinance which is de signed to regulate buildings in which nickelodions are located and to govern the conduct of nickelodions. The Mayor says in his message relative to the street venders -that the measure will. In effect, drive them from the streets, and says that, if it is the wish of the Council so to do, an ordinance so stat ing should be passed. Regarding the other ordinance, the Mayor states that section 5 exempts all buildings which have been used for one year as thea ters, although in frame buildings, and he declares this to be illegal, as it is special legislation, he states. This section was inserted at the request of Councilman Baker, who has a large Interest in three frame theaters. Women in Saloons. The fate of the ordinance which pro vides that women shall not be per mitted to enter saloons for the purpose of drinking intoxicating liquors, may be determined today, although it is rumored that there is a movement on foot to refer it again to a committee. Although a section has been put in, exempting dining-rooms of not less than 400 square feet of floor space, it is said that the law is still too drastio to suit the liquor interests, and that they are fighting hard to prevent its passage. Aside from these matters, there is much routine business, and an all-day session is looked for. Death of Spencer Sa ulcer. Spencer Saulcer, who died last week at his home In the Mount Scott dis trict, was a veteran of the Civil War, and had in his possession a gold medal VAN VLECK'S GLAND ULAR TREATMENT Why It Is Not New Is Because It Is as Old as Life Itself. The glandular treatment is not new, except in modern application. Each individual has treated himself with his own extracts all his lite.. If. at any time he stops receiving: sufficient se cretion from his own glands he be comes sick and wants the doctor, and the physician proceeds to prescribe medicines and drugs In which he has no confidence, because they have not given satisfactory results, therefore resort to his only hope, that is, opera tion with the knife. Dear reader, the difference between treating by the glandular extracts and drugging your self with drugs greater than the an cient method was of pouring boiling oil into wounds and the modern antiseptic method of today. The Gland Extract treatment is not a faith cure, but one that appeals to reason. Will you call at our office and talk It over with out physicians? It will cost you not a penny, or we will send you our litera ture giving you a perfect understand ing, and a question blank to fill out Then, if inconvenient to come to our office, we will correspond with you. Up to this point you will not pay for anything. Should we appeal to your reason and satisfy you that we can cure you, you pay only for the extracts you use. Remember, we treat all nerv ous and chronic diseases, and cure more people than all other treatments combined: Such as goitre, poor circu lation, assimilation, nutrition, consti pation, nerve starvation, kidney and stomach troubles, fat starvation, stunt ed growth: In fact, gland starvation, which is the bottom of all diseases out side of an injury, so you see your case comes within the reach of Organo therapy, which means Gland Extracts.
