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.

AUDITOR SEEKS ADVICE
KECEXT DECISION OF JUDGE
O'BAT ENTAILS MICH LABOR.
Auditor Must Personally Examine
Each Piece of Property Before
Levying Assessment.
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.

FINDS CONDITiaNS
IMPROVED IN EAST
2. W. Hodson Says Change
Has Been Noticeable During
Past 60 Days.
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."

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.

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.
