STEAMSHIPTABOR
L
Norwegian Craft Takes Full
Cargo of Fir to Port
in Australia.
JULY EXPORTS ARE HEAVY
Wheat and Flour Shipments Will
Exceed Those of Same Month
of Last Year Grain Ships
Will Soon Be Dae.
The Norwegian steamship Tabor cleared
yesterday with a full cargo of lumber for
Sydney, Australia. She will leave down
this morning and proceed immediately to
sea. The Tabor was laden with 3,104,448
feet of lumber, valued at $37,253.38 and
300,000 laths, values at $750. Of this cargo
the Tabor took on at Knappton 760,000
feet valued at $9130,
Lumber exports for foreign ports during
July will run well up toward 15,000,000 feet.
There have been a . number of cargoes
cleared so far and there will be three
others at least before the end of the
month.
There Is no prospect for any more wheat
shipments for July. The Nicomedia will
carry close to 40.000 barrels of flour and
that will finish the grain out for July.
During the same month of last year there
were only twp small shipments of flour
and none of wheat.
During August there will be an Increase
In the amount of tonnage In port. A
number of vessels are approaching the
rtue mark. The French ship Eugenie
Pautrel is fully due and the Aberfoyle and
Vincennes will be due by the first of the
month. The French bark Michelet is out
61 days from Hlogo and should be close
In toward the coast. ,
FISHERMEN ARE IX DISTRESS
Cily of Panama lMcks Up Two Men
at Sea in Open Boat.
Ten miles southwest of the end of the
jetty the steamship City of Panama, from
Coos Bay for Portland, picked up two
Italian fishermen, who were adrift In an
open boat Monday afternoon. A line was
passed to the Ms h boat and the men and
their frail craft towed to Astoria. The
weather was foggy at the time and it was
by the merest accident that the officers of
the City of Panama made out the men in
distress.
The men could not speak a word of
English, so it was impossible for the offi
cers of the steamer to get any informa
tion from them. They had evidently been
drifting with a gill net and had got too
close down to the bar. They were un
able to stem the tide and in the fog lost
their way. W hen sighted by the City of
Panama the men had life preservers on
and were flying a rudely constructed
signal of distress from the end of a boat
hook. The fishermen were cold and wet
and had been several hours without food.
Annually there is a large list of men
who lose their lives while engaged in fish
ng off the mouth of the Columbia River.
Sj far this season there ' has been no
record of accidents. But for the timely
arrival of the City of Panama there
would have been a notice posted,
"Missing."
GOVERNMENT TAKES A HAND
War Department Issues Bulletin Re
garding Speed of Steamers.
Robert Oliver Shaw, Assistant Secretary
of War, has issued a bulletin regarding
the speed of steam vessels in the Willam
ette and Columbia rivers. The bulletin is
the result of a report made by Colonel
Roessler and is made under an amend
ment to the rivers and harbors act of
August 18, 14. The bulletin was issued
from the War Department under date of
July 6. 1908.
Heretofore the speed of steam vessels
In the Willamette has been controlled by
city ordinance. A number of owners of
steamboats questioned the authority of
the city to make laws governing the speed
of boats in waters of the united States.
Colonel Roessler took the matter up with
the "War Department and by virtue of the
authority granted in section 4 of the act
of 1&4 the following bulletin was issued:
1. No steam vessel shall be navigated on
the Willamette River between Rom Island
and Swan Island at a apeed of more than
eight statute miles per hour.
2. No steam vessel shall be navigated on
the - Willamette River between Swan- Island
and the Anoctated1 OH Company' dock, north
of Linn ton, at a speed of mora than 12 miles
Jer hour.
3. Every steam vessel passing a drydook
or passing dredges at anchor and engaged on
river improvement in the Willamette and
Columbia rivers shall be navigated under a
clow bell at a speed not more than stx stat
ute miles per hour.

CLOSE TRADE RELiATIOXS WITH
CHICAGO DISCUSSED.
H. A. Wheeler Predicts Great Future
for Portland and Advises Devel
opment of State's Resources.
H. A. Wheeler and A. D. Stevens, of
Chicago, prominent capitalists who are
looking over the Pacific Northwest with
a view to Investment, andr C. W. Mott,
Immigration agent for the Northern Paci
fic, were entertained yesterday at the
Commercial Club. . They were taken
about the city yesterday for trolley and
automobile rides and were entertained
at luncheon at the noon hour. They will
be in the city until tomorrow night.
At luncheon, T. B. Wilcox presided and
called upon Mr. Wheeler to give the as
sembled members of the club his impres
sions of the Pacific Northwest. About 400
representative business men of the city
were present. He spoke for closer trade
relations btween Portland and Chicago,
pointing out that while people of the
Pacific Northwest are In the habit of
buying their goods from Boston and New
York, they could better trade with Chi
cago, which is 1000 miles nearer.
'Mr. Mott also spoke along lines of the
settlement and development of the Pa-
cific Coast country. Both addresses
were closely listened to by those attend
ing the luncheon.
High Opinion- of City.
During the afternoon, when Mr. Wheel
er had been about the city, he spoke as
follows on his impressions of Portland:
'wherever I have been on this Coast,
I have found that the people have forgot
ten the fundamental principle, which Is
the development of the soil. The most
advantageous thing that can be done is
the splitting up of the farms, making
room for a larger and happier population.
All growth comes from the country to
the city, not from the city to the ooun
try. Portland must increase her sur
rounding population in order to make
larger markets for your jobbers and
manufacturers.
"If a city Is built on one interest. It
will fail, but the diversity of interests
here is what will make Portland a great
city. Today you are not manufactur
ing many staples out here. But this will
come later. Now the greater part of the
staples used here comes from the East
Advice to the people of this coast to de
velop their manufactures would seem an
tagonistic to us In Chicago, but this is
not so. We do not feel that way about
It. We know that ultimately Chicago
will be a market of specialties. We will
supply our goods to the Coast cities for
their distribution and we will then share
in each other's prosperity.
Great Growth Is Predicted.
"Oregon Is now at the stage where Il
linois was 40 years ago In regard to
your great natural resources, except that
resources here are more diversified and
the people know more about their devel
opment. Portland has Just now begun
to see daylight. These railroads Just
opened up here, which will bring the
city in touch with territory never reached
before, will mean a great deal to Port
land. I predict that this city's growth
during the next ten years will be aston
ishing. "One of the greatest things this city
has accomplished is the construction of
the new home of the Commercial Club.
This means that the business interests
of Portland are working for the common
good and have left selfishness behind.
"Our people In Chicago do not realize
the opportunities out here. Our young
men lament the absence of opportunity,
such as there was 25 years ago. ' This is
true of Illinois, where it takes large
capital to develop enterprises. But out
here there are the opportunities that Il
linois had years ago. I cannot conceive
how money Invested sensibly here could
be lost. Investment here Is no longer
questionable, as it was when the country
was new. I have never seen any coun
try where I would rather Invest my
money than In the two states, Oregon and
Washington."

PROGRESS SLOW
IN BOOTH CASE
Defense Seeks to Prove That
Agee Exchanged Land
in Good Faith.
EX-RECEIVER ON STAND
Counsel Endeavors to Show Through
J. T. Bridges That Those In
volved Had Acted Under Mis
taken View of the J?aw.
Progress in the Booth" conspiracy
trial yesterday was decidedly slow, re
sulting largely from the introduction
of an enormous amount of document-
ry evidence relating to the various
transactions concerning the homestead
claim of Agee and its subsequent ex
change for lieu land. At the opening
of the morning session, Mr. Malarkey,
in about 30 minutes, concluded his
cross-examination of T. B. Neuhausen,
special agent and attorney of the Gen
eral Land Office, the next witness
called by the Government being J. T.
Bridges, ex-reglster of the Roseburg
Land Office.
By an exhaustive cross-examination
of Mr,. Bridges, Mr. Malarkey sought to
prove that Agee acted at all times in
good faith in settling on unsurveyed
land in the Cascade mountains and in
exchanging the same for lieu land sub
sequent to the time the homestead was
included in a forestry reservation.
The purpose of the questioning was to
show that all of the parties connected
with the transaction had proceeded
under an innocent interpretation of
the rules. and regulations of the land
office and instructions from the Com
missioner of the General Land Office,
and that if any irregularity resulted
it was due to the parties being mis
taken innocently. Mr. Bridges testi
fied that the Agee case was an unusual
one, another like it having not been
presented at the Roseburg Land Office
while the witness served as register.
from 1898 to 1905.
Tries to Show Error. ,
The cross-examination of Mr. Bridges
by Mr. Malarkey was designed to sup
port the contention of the defense that
Agee had proceeded entirely regularly
In all transactions leading up to and
Including the exchange of his home
stead for lieu land and that any mis
takes that might have resulted were
due to the fact that land office officials
were unfamiliar wltn the method of
proceeding in cases of that kind. In
this connection Mr. Malarkey endeav
ored to have the witness admit that if
Agee had settled on surveyed lands,
completed his homestead proof and re
ceived patent from the Government,
there was nothing in the rules and
regulations of the land office to pre
vent him from contracting to sell or
otherwise dispose of the land prior to
the time that he applied for lieu land
In exchange.
To this question United States Attor
ney McCourt objected, insisting that
the question involved a conclusion of
law affecting one kind of land tran
sactions differing from the case on
trial- The information sought to be
gained, explained the District Attorney,
related to the exchange of land in a
surveyed township and to which title
had been perfected, while the case on
trial concerned an unperfected claim
to land in an unsurveyed township
and that the method of its acquisition
and disposition was provided by statu
tory provisions of the department.
Judge Wolverton sustained the objec
tion. Wrote Letter to Hermann.
Mr. Bridges testified that prior to
December, 1900, when Agee applied for
the lieu land selection, the witness, at
the request of Agee, had written to
Binger Hermann, Commissioner of the
General Land Office, requesting some
assistance towards getting Agee
homestead surveyed. Witness further
identified Hermann's reply in which
Agee was advised that it would be im
possible for the Government to cause
his land to be surveyed, since it had
been included in the forest reserve,
and assuring him that the General
Land Office would assist to secure lieu
land in exchange for his unsurveyed
tract. - Mr. Bridges also identified other
correspondence, that had been for
warded to the General Land Office on
the same subject by A. M. Crawford, J.
H. Shoup and S. B. Ormsby. All of
this correspondence related to Agee's
homestead and the negotiations which
preceded its subsequent exchange for
the Lane county lieu iana.
The cross-examination of Mr. Neuhau
sen by Mr. Malarkey yesterday morning
developed the fact that the Government
had not produced some ot the corre
spondence that passed between Agee and
his attorneys and the General Land Office
and which related to the land involved
in the charge of conspiracy against the
defendants. The defense requested the
Government to produce from the files In
the General Land Office all of the cor
respondence relating to the Agee land.
Defendants' Case Not Hurt.
Following Mr. Neuhausen, the Govern
ment called J. T. Bridges. ex-Register
of the Roseburg Land Office. Mr.
Bridges was also one of the star wit
nesses for the prosecution in the James
Henry Booth bribery trial. At that time
he contradicted himself and other import
ant witnesses for the Government. While
he did not contradict anybody yesterday.
Mr. Bridges did not give any damaging
testimony against the defendants.
The ex-Register identified several en
tries on the records at the Roseburg
Land Office, relating to the lieu land se
lection of Thomas Agee. as having been
made by James Henry Booth, who was
at the time Receiver of that office. United
States Attorney McCourt gained the ad
mission from the witness that these rec
ords generally were kept in the office of
the Register and that the entries per
taining to such transactions usually were
made either by the Register personally
or by one of the clerks In his office. The
purpose of this testimony was to show
the Interest Booth, one of the defendants.
had In Agee s lieu land application.
But on cross-examination by Mr. Ma
larkey, Mr. Bridges admitted that the
duties and powers of the Register and
Receiver were largely alike, each having
authority to make any and all entries re
lating to the public lands. He said the
only particular duty that belonged ex
clusively to the Receiver was receiving
and accounting tor all receipts of the of
flee. He said it was not at all unusual
for either himself or Mr. Booth to make
the different entries in the records. At
the same time he identified an entry made
by Booth and relating to the Agee land
nearly two years prior to the entry
proved by the Government to have been
made by Booth when Agee completed his
application for the. lieu land selection, in
December. 1900.
Just before court adjourned. Judge
Wolverton criticised Mr. Malarkey for
the slow progress that was being made.
Mr. Malarkey at the time was cross-examining
Mr. Bridges relative to the final
proof made by Agee. Counsel was seek
ing to have the ex-Register explain an
apparent irregularity In tne form of the
proof papers when Tracy C. Becker, rep
resenting the Government, interposed an
objection. - contending that the question
Involved a matter of law and was not
proper cross-examtnatlon. The objection
was sustained by the court.
'Will the court instruct the jury as to
the law on that point?" inquired Mr. Ma
larkey. "The court will attend to that at the
proper time." retorted Judge Wolverton,
"And I wish to say at this time that
counsel is devoting entirely too much time
In the trial of this case. The trial is be
ing unnecessarily delayed and the ex
amination of witnesses must proceed
more rapidly."
"But. your honor. I wish to suggest
that a great deal of the time today has
been occupied by myself in the intro
duction of documents that the Govern
ment Intended to offer later in the trial,"
responded Mr. Malarkey.
"That Is all very true." replied the
court, "but at the same time counsel Is
consuming more time than should be re
quired tq try the case right. I shall in
sist that the trial proceed more expe
ditiously." "I am. indeed, very sorry that the court
should, in the presence of the jury, blame
me and intimate that I am purposely re
tarding the trial of the case. That cer
tainly is not my intention," was Mr. Ma
larkey's rejoinder.
'I did not say that you were purposely
delaying the progress of the case," fol
lowed Judge Wolverton. "You may pro
ceed with the examination of the wit
ness." Mr. Malarkey will conclude his cross-
examination of Mr. Bridges when court
convenes this morning. The next wit
ness to be called by the Government will
be L Thomas Agee, the entryman, whose
sale of a lieu land selection to the Booth
Kelly Lumber Company formed the basis
for the conspiracy Indictment that was
returned by Francis J. Heney. in April,
1905. against Robert A. Booth. James
Henry Booth and Thomas E. Singleton,
the defendants on trial.
COOKE WILL- BE TAKEN BACK
Xew Xork Authorities Will Try Al
leged Timber-Fraud Operator.
United States Judge Wolverton yes
terday issued a warrant of removal
directing the United States Marshal to
proceed Immediately and deliver Henry
G. Cooke, alleged land-fraud opera
tor, to the United States authorities in
New York City. Cooke is the young
Englishman who was arrested in Baker
City two weeks ago on an indictment

H GLACIER TOURISTS
C. HENRI LABBE XOTES EARTH
QUAKE CHANGES THERE.
And Says His Party Hailed as First
People Ever Landed in Face
of Glacier.
PORTLAND. July 21. fTo the Editor.
I wish to add a few words In supplement of
what was said In last Sunday's Oregonian
relative to the recent visit to Muir Glacier,
Alaska, by a party of Portland people.
frior to nine years ago, one of the regu
lar features of the Alaskan excursions was
he ascent of Glacier Bay to view the beau
ties and wonders of the marvelous work of
nature, Muir Glacier. Then the two arms
of the glacier, the right and the left, united
about three miles back from the face of the
glacier, and tho glacier coming down in one
body formea one of the boundaries of the
bay, extending clear across its head in one
solid unbroken wall of Ice. 250 or 300 feet
high. Parties visiting the glarier will re
member seeing a rocky peak standing clear
of the ice about three miles back from the
face of the glacier. In those days, the
steamer, by keeping to the right to avoid
the floating berg, could easily ascend the
bay, land parties on the beach to the right
of the glacier, near Muirs "cottage." and
by going up and over the hill, these parties
could get on top of Mutr Glacier. This
was regularly done and probably hundreds
of Portland people have done this.
Nine years ago, an earthquake visited this
section of the country and shook down a
part of the glacier. The ice so shaken down
has filled Glacier Bay, making it practically
impossible for steamers even now to ascend
near enough to view the glacier. In the last
nine years the steamers of the Pacific Coast
Steamship Company have visited the glacier
but three times, twice last year, and once
already this year, although making faithful
attempts each year to do so. The party of
Port landers mentioned in Sunday's Orego
nlan was fortunate enough to be of this
year's party.
The morning of July" 7 we were In Glacier
Bay, threading our way slowly and cautious
ly, ' dodging the bergs. Ahead, the way
seemed blocked with them. We watched
anxiously through the mist and rain to see
if we could get a glimpse of Muir. but we
were told that It was nine miles away, and
the wall we saw was but a mirage We had
reached the point where the Spokane had
been forced to turn back on the former
trip, and we were afraid we would be
obliged to do the same. However, we kept
going slowly forward, soon the way cleared
a bit. and our ship was sent full steam
ahead and we knew we were to see Muir.
Already we could see it extending back into
the mountains a few miles ahead of us.
We had come to the place where the face
of the glacier had been. The sky cleared,
we turned to the right and there before us,
extending across our way in one solid bank
of Ice fully 2M feet high, stood the right
arm of Muir Glacier. Just as we arrived
the sun came out casting Its bright rays on
the glistening ice, sending back to us beau
ties which none of us will ever forget and
giving us an inspiration for the beautiful
which I hope we shall ever enjoy.
We were in waters never before broken
by a ship's bow. We cast anchor in 47
fathoms of water within a quarter of a
mile of the glacier in what we were pleased
to name Thomas Bay, in honor of Captain
Thomas of the ship "Spokane."
.About the center and right In the face
ai the arm of the glacier we visited, was a
projecting shelf covered with pebbles form
ing a beach a few hundred feet long and
about 200 feet wide. The master of the
"Spokane" kindly put boats at the disposat
of the passengers and those of them who
desired were put ashore on this beach,
landing right in the face of Muir Glacier.
We were told that we were the first people
who ever landed in the face of Muir
Glacier, and that It where the' "first" comes
In. We take no glory unto ourselves for
this, we are proud enough to have been
able to even see Muir Glacier. We did not
visit the left arm of the glacier, too much
floating ice preventing.
Thos who have visited Muir In the years
past would hardly recognise it now. The
original solid face of the glacier Is gone.
The lone rock mentioned above jutting up
above the Ice, Is sow a mountain extending
clear to the water, showing on its sides the
action of the glacier for countless age and
extending; back several miles dividing the
glacier Into its right and left arms. The
face of the right arm, which we visited, was
estimated by Captain Thomas and T. J.
Richardson, the celebrated artist of Alas
kan scenery, to be at least four miles back
from the original face known to early
tourists. - -
I regret the tone of C. E. Cllne's com
munication in this Morning's Oregonlan.
Muir Glacier Is still "something worth see
ing." It is not "now less than one-third
the slse it was" when he saw It and It will
not "soon be a thing of the past." Muir
Glacier will be Muir Glacier long after the
name C. E. Cline will have been forgotten.
It is well worth seeing, it Is beautiful and
wonderful. We who saw It this year hope
that many may be privileged to view its
beauties in future years, but if not, the
other beauties of Southeastern Alaska are
well "worth seeing" and well worth the
trip.
Let us not send our own people to Nor
way and Switzerland to see glaciers and
scenery, when we have so much never vis
ited and appreciated In our own country.
Mr. Cline and aJl others don't "knock."
"Boost."

CITY LOSES BY DEC
TROLLEY FRANCHISES CANNOT
BE REVOKED.
Street Railway Company Is Favored
in Almost Every Point in Attor
ney Kavanaugh's Opinion.
In an opinion made public by City
Attorney Kavanaugh yesterday It 1
held that the City Council cannot re
voke the franchises of the Portland
Railway, Light & Power Company ex
cept, perhaps, in places where the cor
poration ha failed to construct lines
or has abandoned lines. The general
tenor of tHe opinion is against the
municipality. About the only thing the
Portland officials can do, according to
this legal opinion, is to stop the opera
tion of freight cars over the com
pany's tracks, as Jt is held no such
right has ever been given.
The City Attorney holds that the
streetcar company, .under its fran
chises, cannot even be compelled to
sprinkle the streets over which it op
erates cars. It is plain, from the lan
guage of the opinion, that scant care
was manifested in the granting of the
franchises years ago, and it seems that
there Its hardly a saving clause In the
city's favor in any of the nine grants
given the corporation in past years.
The opinion is to the effect that the
city cannot revoke the present grants
owned by the streetcar company, and in
return give the corporation a new blan
ket franchise. It, therefore, appears
that the company has the better of the
situation in every respect.

There is no need of anyone suffering long with this disease, for to
effect a. quick cure it .is only necessary to take a few doses of
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera

relied upon in the most severe and dangerous cases. It is equally
valuable for children and is the means of saving the lives of many

EN CURE
No other physician employs a like method, and
so thorough is my work that there need not be
the slightest fear of a relapse into the old
condition. It is not a question of whether you
can be cured, but whether you will be cured.
Don't wait until it is too late. My method is
perfect and quick The cure is absolutely cer
tain. X use NO KNIFE, cause no pain, and
you need not be detained from your work for one
day. I especially solicit those cases where many
so-called treatments have failed or where
money has been wasted on electric belts and
other appliances. Functional derangement is
neither a "weakness nor a disease. It is a
symptom of prostatic disorder. To stimulate
activity by the use of powerful tonics is an
easy matter, but such results are merely tem
porary drug- effects. Most doctors treat "weak
ness" -in this manner because they do not
know how to cure the real cause of the de
rangement. I am tho only physician employing
scientific and successful methods. My treat
ment is a. local one entirely, and
abnormal condition of that vital center,
are real cures and are permanent.
