G0LS1R0ESSLER
GOES TO NEWYORK
Takes Up the Work of General
Marshall on Fortifications
and Harbor.
STATION OF IMPORTANCE
Officer Who Has Had Charge of
Pacific Northwest Station Hon
ored by New Chief of Engi
neers Mclndoe Arrives.
Colonel S. W. Roessler, United States
Engineers, has received telegraphic or
ders from Chief of Engineers Marshall
to proceed from Portland to New York
City. Colonel Roessler will take
charge of the fortifications at that
place and will also look after the har
bor improvement work which is being
carried on by the Government. The
station is the most important in the
United States and is the one vacated
by General Marshall on his appointment
to'be chief of the Engineer Corps
Colonel Roessler will leave for the
East Sunday and will go by the way
of the Canadian Pacific Railway. His
annual report for the fiscal year end
ing June 30 will be ready today and
he will then turn over the office to
liis sucessor, Major Mclndoe. Jn his
report Colonel Roessler again urges
the recommendations set forth in his
report of last year, principally the
deepening of the channel at the mouth
of the Columbia by dredging. Colonel
Roesler strongly urges the placing in
commission of the dredge Chinook.
The Chinook lias been tied up at the
Government moorings at Linn ton for
the past four years. New boilers are
necessary before she can go into active
service and last year Colonel Roessler
recommended the appropriation of
$90,000 for this work. The appropria
tion was not made and in the report
which will be forwarded today the
recommendation for money has been
repeated.
It is the theory of Colonel Roessler
that the action of the ebb tide would
have a great effect on the sands If the
dredge were placed at the mouth of
the river. The dredge would stir up
the bottom sufficiently to permit the
ebb tide to carry the sand seaward.
Major J. F. Mclndoe, who has been
detailed to relieve Colonel Roessler at
Portland, arrived from New Orleans
yesterday. He will take charge of the
local office this morning. Major Mc
lndoe has had charge of the river im
provements on the 1' wer Mississippi
river for several years. This is the
first Pacific Coast assignment which
has fallen to the lot of Major Mclndoe.
He has been engaged in the engineer
ing department of the Governmnt for
more than 20 years.
Colonel Roessler and Major Mclndoe
will proceed to Fort Stevens this morn
ing. The work at that place will be
officially transferred to the new of
ficial and Colonel Roessler s work
will end for the Pacific Northwest.
During his stay here Colonel Roessler
has made a host of friends.
BARK MAKES FAST VOYAGE
Crown of Germany Reports Out
After Voyage of 1 1 1 Days.
The British bark Crown of German yh
Captain Helms, which sailed from tl le
Columbia River March 19 for the Unit d
Kingdom, has reported out. The vestal
made the run in 111 days and is -he tirtnd.,
draft of last year's fleet to make an ex-
ceptionally fast voyage.
The record for the season is held hty
the American bark Homeward Bourv.,
which covered the distance in 108 day:.
The British ship Claverdon, Captaf n
David Thomson, made the run out in l':0
days and the Crown of Germany l;md( d
in third place. Each of the vessels nasi a
history and has been famous in one or
more ways.
The Homeward Bound was formerly the
Gormr.i bark Otto GMdemeister and vaa
declined a total constructive wreck w?in
she was towed into San Diesfo yve.'.nl
ears ago in a dismasted cond'tion. .Re
insurance was offered on her at that
time to the extent of 90 per cent. The
Claverdon had a reputation for long Uime
voyages. She was never known to t-ail
a p. v where in decent time until Cap ta in
Thomson took command. The master
bt.ited to Portland friends that he vvuvuM
drive the craft ho-i.e in less thin 120
days. Ho made good. The Ci'tvam of
G ermany is known as one of tho tj istest
railers of recent times and has a ruumber
of t:.st passages to her credit.

ATTACK PM OFFICERS
SPIKITt'ALITS BRING SUIT TO
CCST THEM.
Fight Keitlts From Cottell Ordi
nance, Yalldity of Which May Go
Before Supreme Court.
Suit t p oust the officers of the local
branch of the National Spiritualist's As
soclatlc in, with the exception of J. E.
Trigg, -the treasurer, and incidentally to
recover $2000, was filed in the Circuit
Court, yesterday afternoon by Harry
Yam ;kwich, attorney for Green C. Love,
and the National Spiritualist's Associa
tioi i, the plaintiffs. It is a quo warranto
sujft, and comes as a result of Mrs. Sophia
B. Seip's fight against the Cottel ordi
1'iance, which recently passed the City
'Council.
The defendants are Mrs. Seip, president,
cnd Virginia Rowe, Lou Ellen Cornell,
Mrs, F. M. Branch, Mrs. M. A. Congdon,
Belle M. Haviland. Jennie Werner and
Edwin King, seven of the board of di
rectors in the association.
Mr. Yanckwich said last night that
Harrison Barrett, ex-presldent of the Na
tional Spiritualists' Association, is en
deavoring to have an ordinance against
the mediums, similar to Portlanda,
passed In all the large cities of the coun
try. What is known as the Cottel ordi
nance Is of Mr. Barrett's drafting. Mr.
Yanckwich said that Mr. Barrett is mak
ing an effort to separate the "intellectual
and philanthropic spiritists" from those
who make their living by pretending to
have secret communication with the other
world.
A court of inquiry was recently held
in Portland before George N. Warne, the
National president of the Spiritualists'
association. It appears from the present
suit that some of the mediums refused to
be severed from the association, wishing
to be classed among the "intellectual
spiritists" rather than among the so
called fakers, in order that they might
still practice.
When the suit comes to trial it is prob
able that the constitutionality of the new
ordinance will be tested. The ordinance
forbids mediums, or spiritualists to prac
tice for compensation. It is also prob
able that the case will be taken to the
Supreme Court should it be decided
against the mediums.
The voluminous complaint asserts that
Mrs. Seip is not qualified to hold office
in the state organization because she was
expelled from the Ministers' and Med
iums' Protective Association and the First
Spiritual Society. As a result she does
not represent any of the auxiliaries of
which the state association is composed.
Attorney John F. Watts filed suit in
the Justice Court yesterday afternoon
against Mrs. Seip and her codefendants,
to recoved $100 attorneys' fees. He repre
sented the spiritualists .when they were
on trial before President Warne, June 26
and 27.
BERLIN COURT EXPLAINS
Favors Zu Eulenberg on Account of
His III Health.
BERLIN. July 9. The Chief Judge
hearing the case of Prince Philip Zu
Eulenberg. who is charged with Der-
J Jury in connection With the "round
tame scandals of last year, has re
plied to the continued attacks of the
press, charging that the court was
treating the princely prisoner more
leniently than was the custom with
prisoners in ordinary walks of life.
This morning he called together the
official reporters of the court and said
he wished them to make public his
declaration that the Prince was treated
in a manner different trom other pris
oners only on account of his ill-health;
no other consideration Influenced the
court.
The court continued today to take
testimony. The State's Attorney has
appealed to the Prince to speak out and
cease his denials, but this appeal re
mains unanswered.
Seven Bodies Recovered.
LINCOLN. Neb., July 9. The bodies
of all the known victims of the flood

BIG CONTRACT LET
Power; Company Will
Electric Wires.
Bury
WGIK TO COST $1,000,000
IVf.lliam S. Barstow & Co., of Xew
J"ibrk, Will Construct Conduits In
Portland Business District as
Required by Ordinance.
The contract was let yesterday by
the Portland Railway. Light & Power
Company for the building of an under
ground system of conduits and cables
in the business district, as required by
city ordinance. The, contract amounts
to over $1,000,000, and was awarded to
the engineering firm of William S.
Barstow & Co., of New York. This
firm also has offices in Portland in
charge of William S. Turner.
Estimates and plans are now being
prepared and the work will be started
within a short time. The building of
the conduits and the placing of wires
and cables underground means that all
electric wires in the business district
will be taken from poles and put in
the conduits under the streets. Only
trolley wires and trolley feed wires
will remain on poles in the district
prescribed by the city authorities.
With the installation of the new sys
tem, current served to consumers
throughout the business district will
be changed from a 500-volt direct and a
220-volt alternating current to a 220
volt, three-phase direct current when
the 'system is complete, which will
mean the changing of all motors in the
underground district now installed to
the 220-volt direct current. This has
been adopted in the Eastern cities as
the standard and is considered the most
flexible for the many different require
ments of consumers.
Current supplied to the trolley wires
throughout the city for the operation
of cars is 550-volt direct, and it will
probably be maintained always at that
potential. The adoption of the 220
Volt direct current In the underground
district will absolutely separate' and
permanently maintain the difference in
circuits desired by the fire underwrit
ers between the trolley and commer
cial circuit?.
"The cost of the installation of the
underground conduit system will be
upwards of $1,000,000," said President
Josselyn, of the Portland Railway,
Light & Power Company yesterday.
"The improvement, costly tnough it is,
will not bring any additional revenue
to the company and is a contribution
on the part of the railway to upbuild
ing and beautifying the city, in which
we are probably more greatly Interest
ed than any other Individual or con
cern." WHO ELECTS U. S SENATOR
This Man Is Much Puzzled and He
Writes to Inquire.
HAY FI ELD, Or., July 6. (Eddytor
Oregonion) I hev always been a re
publican, but I am for Statement 1.
Some uv my neighbors seem to be
weaklnin' and I think your eddytori
als are partly responsible. The ene
mies of the princlpul are gltttn quite
pert in this section. They claim we
have been buncoed by Bourne and
Chamberlain. I think it is a disgrace
to make these unwarranted . attacks
pn the foremost friends uv the pepul
In the state.
Jim Hanks has writ the Secretary
nv State and got a abstract uv the
vote fer seneter. He claims the ab
stract shows Chamberlain is not the
choice uv the pepul. He wuz showln'
It around at the grange last week and
stirrln' up quite a fuss among state
ment men. He sez the abstract shows
that Chamberlain is not the choice uv
even half the pepul. It shows, he sez,
that J. C. Cooper, the socialist candi
date fer seneter, got 5257 votes, I. H.
Amos, the prohi' candidate fer seneter
3787. Cake the republican candidate
50,899. makln' a total uv 59,943 uv the
pepul who sed by their votes that they
did not care fer Chamberlain fer sen
eter, snd that only 52,421 uv the pepul
sed by their votes that they wanted
Chamberlain. Now I want to know if
Jim Hanks Is not jugglin' the figgers?
Does the official vote make any sich
showin"?
My brother Hiram's boy, who Is
readin law in Portland, wuz out to
spend the 4th, and I must declare I
am mightily ashamed of that boy I
knew the law would be the ruination
uv him. He pined in with Jim Hanks
and give us the- horse laugh fer beln"
took in by the statement. He sez the
constitution expressly pervides that
the Leglslatur' shall choose the Sen
eter. He sez each member will have
to sware on oath to support the con
stitution in order to git his seat. Then
he asked, orrytorlcal like, will the leg
islators obey their oaths, and choose a
Seneter. or will they obey the state
ment and go through the hollow form
of declarln' Chamberlain elected, "and
without regard to their individual
preference," as set out in the state
ment, and without regard to the fact
that Chamberlain Is not the choice uv
even half the pepul as shown by the
offycial vote?
Does the constitution require that
the Leglslatur' shall choose the senet
er? If it does, the constitution was
got up by the Interests. Also please

state whether our member uv the Leg
lslatur' will have to sware to support
the constitution in order to git his
seat?
Hiram's boy also sed Chamberlain
wuz purty slick. He said before the
primaries Chamberlain and Alex Sweek
passed the word down the line, quiet
like, that democrats should register as
republicans -and vote for the statement
republicans fer the Leglslatur and
that they should also vote fer Cake, as
It wuz thought Cake would be easier
to Beat than Fulton. He sez the demo
crats nominated both Cake and Cham
berlain. Is there any truth In these
alleygatlons?
Also please explain fully perportional
repersentation? I see It carried. 1
guess I voted for It, as I "wuz fer all
the reform measures. But I must con
fess I didn't know this law wuz sub
mitted till-1 saw in The Oregonlan that
it went through. The democrats here
claim that under, it they will git at
least one Presidential' electer and may
be 2. They say under perportional rep
ersentation when 4 Presidential elec
ters are to be voted on that each voter
will have 4 votes, and that under per
portional repersentation he can cast all
4 of his votes fer one man, and that
they will have a cinch on one electer.
They claim also that under perportional
repersentation they will git about half
the Leglslatur hereafter. When does
perportional repersentation take effect?
Hiram's boy sez Statement 1, the Recall
and Perportional repersentation wuz all
brought about by what Is known as the
'Pepul's Power Legue," and that Bourne
and Chamberlain are members uv this
legue and the movin spirts in it. He says
the legue has already set the constitution
and the laws topsy-turvy and that endless
litigation and confusion will result. This
part uv It seemed to tickle Hiram's boy
because he is goin' to be a lawyer. He
sez Chamberlain's influence as guvnor
was great in bringing about this legisla
tion, and that Chamberlain's object all
the time wuz to be Seneter. Is there any
ground fer this statement?
According to what Hiram's boy sez, Ore
gon has no right to violate the Constitu
tion uv the United States, even if Oregon
is wiser than the rest uv the country.
He sez that if Oregon has discovered a
plan that Is an improvement over the
constitutional method uv electen" Seneters,
that Oregon should git two-thirds uv the
states to Jlne her In callln' fer a consti
tutional convention to amend the Consti
tution. He sez it can be did legally in this
way. He sez if Oregon can violate one
clause uv the Constitution without being
called to account, simply because it deems
its Judgment better than the combined
judgment uv the Union, that then there
will be nothln to prevent the other states
from violatin with impunity any clause
of the Federal Constitution, that may not
be exactly to heir likin'. He sez no offi
cer, high or low, has a right to violate his
oath to support the Constitution. He says
he is in favor uv direct election uv Sene
ters, but not In advance uv an amendment
uv the Federal. Constitution making It
legal. Now I want to know if there is not
some ketch in this argument uv Hiram's
boy. Is it not alright fer a state, when it
finds a plan uv guverment that beats the
Constitution, to go ahead and adopt stch
plan without waiten for an amendment
uv the Constitution.
Please answer now the questions I have
put, and answer them fully and candidly
without any uv your usual sarcasm. Very
truly yours, JOSIAH TOMPKINS.

BRIDGE SOON READY
Workmen Completing Struc
ture Across Willamette.
BIGGEST SPAN IN WORLD
Last Spike Will Be Driven This
Week In Draw That Has Total
Length or 53 5 Feet Four
Trains Ordered.
Longer than any other draw span
in any bridge in the world is the
pivot span in the new bridge across
the Willamette River below the
city, which is being built by the
Spokane, Portland & Seattle Rail
way. The total length of the draw is
535 feet. On each side of the pivot
pier there is a clearance of 263 feet to
the nearest pier. Workmen are now
completing this span, which is the last
part of the bridge to be completed.
The last pin In the structure will be
driven this week.
Not only is the draw span the long
est of any railroad or other bridge in
the world, but it is a double track
bridge and on that account it is ex
tremely heavy for operation. It is not
unlikely that special machinery will
have to be secured to swing the very
heavy draw open and shut to allow
the passage of vessels.
The Spokane, Portland & Seattle is
setting a mark' in big things for not
only is this draw span a bigger one
than any other but the bridge across
the Columbia River at Vancouver is
one of the longest similar structures
In existence. The Willamette bridge
will be completed ready for the opera
tion of trains at some date between
August 15 and September 1.
Delivery of four complete trains for
operation between" Portland and Spo
kane over the new road will be made
at Portland by October 15. These
trains are said to be the latest thing
in every way and are made especially
for the comfort of passengers. They
are being manufactured throughout by
the Pullman Company and everything
from the baggage car to the observa
tion end will be turned out of the Pull
man shops, chair cars, day coaches
and all. Officials of the new road ex
pect to have the line completed to
Spokane by Janua-y 1, 1909.
The Chamber of Commerce i:j arrang
ing a celebratio l that will be held
when the new road opens. Special
plans are being made for a great dem
onstration. All commercal organiza
tions in the city will be asked to Join
in making the opening of the North
Bank line a gala affair.
Just what form the celebration will
take is not yet determined but the
transportation committee of the Cham
ber of Commerce, headed by Henry
Hahn, will work on the matter and
join with the other organizations. It is
hoped to have James J. Hill, President
Louis Hill, of the Great Northern, and
Howard Elliott, president of the North
ern Pacific, visit the city when the new
road is opened and join in the dem
onstration. COME TO AID OF BROOKS

eczema patients in large Jars sufficient
for a month's treatment. This was
found to be an inconvenience to many
thousands who use it for minor skin
troubles, such as pimples, blackheads,
herpes, acne, scaly scalp, complexion
blemishes, Itching feet, piles, etc,
which require but a small quantity to
cure. To overcome this, and In re
sponse to urgent appeals, the dispens
ers of poslam have been obliged to
adopt, in addition to the regular two
dollar package, a special fifty-cent
size, which In future may be found on
sale at the Skidmore Drag Co. and
other leading drug stores in Portland,
or may be ordered direct from the
Emergency Laboratories, No. 32 West
25th Street, New York City. In all
eczema cases poslam stops itching with
first application, and proceeds to heal
immediately; chronic cases being cured
in two weeks. In less serious skin
troubles, results are seen after an over
night application.
Samples for experimental purposes
may still be had, free of charge, by
writing to the laboratories for them.

Home Telephone Company,
Corner Park and Burnside Streets '
Gentlemen: I have located in business in this eity, and
am very much gratified to find the automatic telephone in
operation here. At my former residence in Grand Eapids,
Michigan, this system has been in use for a long time, and
it certainly deserves the popularity and recognition it is
receiving in this city. Its individual lines and absolute
secret service, its durability, its freedom from petty annoy
ances incident to the old system, insure for it a complete
success.
Please arrange to install an automatic telephone in my
office and at my residence, No. 775 Irving street, at your
earliest convenience. Yours very truly,

MEN CURED
The vast multitudes ' of men who have
taken my treatment have not been disap
pointed. They know that I do not promise
more than I perform. To them I have actu
ally Illustrated In the cure of their own
cases the truth of what I 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
limit my study and practice strictly to dis
eases and weaknesses of men. To male
maladies alone I have earnestly and ex
clusively devoted 25 years of my life and on
them all my faculties are concentrated.
I have limited my specialty In practice to
only a few of the more important disorders,
so that I could KNOW these thoroughly.
My experience along this one path for
twenty-five years qualifies me to say posi
tively that such troubles as Spermatorrhoea,
L.OMt ' VlKor. Varicocele, Hydrocele, Gonor
rhoea. Syphilis, stricture and Weakness "
can be cured perfectly so as to stay cured.
Of course I use different methods than the
ordinary physician. Most of these are
original with me and were devised for Just
such cases as the ordinary courses of treat
ment fail to reach.
