Alliance Will Remain on Route. F. P. Baumgartner. agent of the Gray & Holt Steamship Company, owners of the steamship Alliance, has received a letter from the company stating that under no circumstances will the company abandon the run be tween Portland and Coos Bay. It also states that the steamship Alliance will not be sold to the Southern Pacific Company and that as long as the mer chants and traveling public see fit to patronize the ship she will remain on the run. The unsettled condition of affairs grew out of the fact that a San Francisco broker offered the Alliance to the Harriman people, stating at the time that she was for sate- .Mountain Gem Is Laid Up.

Fuller, a prominent adver tising man of Chicago, was the guest of honor at a testimonial dinner given him last night at the Portland Commercial Club by a number of prominent Portland men interested in advertising. Mr. Fuller has just retired from one of the biggest advertising agencies of the country and is making a tour of the Pacific Coast. He is known throughout the advertising world as one of the most successful men. in the business in America. C. C.

Cement side walks, newly-painted buildings and new residences attest the fact. Jacksonville enjoys the pre-eminence of being the head of the mining industry in Southern Oregon, and the undisputed fountain and source of the grape industry in the state. These facts, among others, are to be em phasixed In the forthcoming pamphlet. Y SUBJECTS UP Series of. Addresses Before Catholic Teachers. . SPEECH BY MISS BURKE Superintendent of Spokane Normal School Declares Pupils Should Be Given Frequent Rests From Grind of Study. During the morning session yesterday of the Catholic Educational Association Institute, now ' being held at the West Side High School, many speakers were heard. Rev. Father Dominic, of Mount Angel, Or., who has charge of the musical work, made a lengthy, address on the Gregorian chant. His remarks were a continuation from his Tuesday lecture, and treated principally on the plain chant as opposed to any other for church music. Father Dominic is a pupil of the famous German rhusic master and composer, and and enthusiastic musician. He said that he believed the present-day tendency on the part of musicians generally was to sacrifice melody to obtain harmony, which he, like his old master, sadly de plored. Following Father Dominic, Dr. Charles Friedel, a graduate of Leipsic, spoke on "New Conceptions of Science." Dr. Frie del dwelt largely on the new theory con cerning atomic formation. The speaker has had charge of the Summer school of St. Mary's Academy, and expressed him self as agreeably surprised to find that Catholic institutions generally were so well abreast of the times. H. P. Conway, of Dartmouth College, who is giving a course in mathematics, used as the day's subject "Percentage and Its Applications." , Miss Julia Beth Far rell. Instructor in expressive reading and dramatic training. Northwestern Univer sity, Evanston, HI., lectured on- the sub ject "The Voice." Miss Deo. Whittlesey. Teachers' College, University of Chicago, read a paper on "Befinnjng Work in Latin." A. F- Armstrong spoke on the subject "The Duties and Opportunities of Shorthand -Teachers." Miss Helen F. Burke made an address on "Oral Reading.." After a brief address by Dr. Friedel, in the course of which he complimented pro moters of the institute for the headway made during the past three years, say ing that he had been In regular attend ance upon each year's sessions, the morn ing's meeting closed. Following the usual custom, the after noon session opened with the rendition of several vocal numbers under the direction of F. W. Goodrich. The vocalists were Miss Irene Flynn, soprano, and Mrs. Ellis Magee. contralto. The numbers were beautifully rendered and enthusiastically received. Miss Helen F. Burke, superintendent of Holy Name Normal, Spokane, made an address, taking as her subject "Fatigue." She said In part: All mental activity involves the expendi ture of energy generated by nerve celle. In consequence, when we think we call upon the nerve celle governing thought, they in turn generate the energy necessary to perform the thought functions. These nerve cells are so constructed that they register every impres sion, as for instance when we burn our finger, the sensory nerves convey the fact to the brain and we feel the hurt In consequence. So also do the nerve cells store up energy while we rest or sleep. In order that we may perform the required duties. In the case of children the topic we wish to treat upon is the question of fatigue aa It applies to children in the echoolroom. Many learned pedagogfsts have advanced this or that theory concerning the nervous reaction which takes place In a child after a hard day's study. It to to be feared that, in the majority of cases the subject and not the child is considered. That is where the grat mistake Is made. The child and not the sub ject phould be considered first, last and all the time. Marry remedial measures have been advocated to lessen the nervous strain upon the child. Many of our teachers fall to think of the tremendous amount of work that Is piled upon children In school. It must be borne In mind that many of our school text-books are crammed wltlj a lot of superfluous problems, which were put there solely to enlarge the size of the book, in order that they might obtain a higher price In consequence. Also, it should be remem bered that all children have not the same capacity for assimilating knowledge. A page may contain 30 problems and perhaps there are some among the pupils who are able to learn the entire number, but It is safe to say that a good many will not be able to do so. Is it fair then to the child to over burden one child with an Impossible task because another can do the same task with ease? These are. questions requiring a -great deal of practical thinking. The question of re cesses has been discussed pro and con for a long time. Some authorities advocate a recreation period of 40 minutes' duration: some more than that, some less. From my own experience I would ad viae giving the entire school a recreation after after every 35 minute of study. I would have the members of each class rise simultaneously, march them out to the playground and for one minute and a half give them their entire freedom. This operation would take five minutes in all. Following Miss. Burke's remarks, Father Dominic treated the assembled educators to a phonographic reproduc tion of some mass music which was sung by a choir of 5000 voicesIn the Vatican at Rome, March 12, 1904. The occasion was the 1300th anniversary of the death of Pope Gregory the Great, at which time the unusual procedure of celebrating solemn high mass was par ticipated in by the present Pope. MERCURY GOES T0 82 Showers Fail to Arrive, but Weather Is Xot So Warm. A drop of five degrees in the maxi mum temperature yesterday relieved distress from heat in Portland. The highest mark reached was at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, when the official thermometer of the Weather Bureau recorded 82 degrees. The thunder showers promised for yesterday failed to materialize. Dur ing the early morning hours the sky was overcast and it looked like rain. A strong south. wind was blowing, but about 10 o:clock th wind hauled around and the sky cleared up. Shortly after noon the thermometer began to rise. Cooler weather is promised for today. The hourly temperatures fol low: A. M -';12 Noon 71 8 A. M 62,1 p. M T5 7 A. M 6;; 2 P. M 81 8 A. M 643 P.

Bristol, one of the nobles of the Portland shrine, returned home MAN yesterday from the grand conclave of the order recently held at St. Paul. The other delegates from Portland D. L. Taylor, W. E. Hall and William Davis, have remained in the East visiting Chi cago and Winnipeg. Ashland, Or., at the request of the Portland nobles, was granted the privilege of a shrine, and it Is said that 110 residents of that city are ready to become enrolled as charter members. In referring to his visit to the conclave, which was at tended by 47,000 nobles and their fam ilies, Mr.Bristol said: "The conclave was a grand affair, and St. Paul attended to the pleasure and wants of the visiting delegates handsomely. It soemed strange to me that a city of that size, which is but little larger than Portland, was able to do something which we cannot because of lack of facilities. St. Paul has a handsome and commodious auditorium, something that is lacking in this city. Another thing is that the Eastern nobles attending the conclave made themselves known as well as the places from whence they hailed.'

Portland and the other Pacific Coast cities are not' well enough advertised in the East and Middle West, despite the good work being done by the Port land commercial bodies." MAY MAKE TRIP TO JAPAN PORTLAND 5IERCHAXTS PLAX EXCURSION TO ORIENT. San Francisco Business Men Extend Invitation to Iiocal Chamber of Commerce. Closer commercial " relations between Portland merchants and the business men of Japan are promised as the result of a movement just started by the Portland Chamber of Commerce. This is no less than a commercial excursion to the lead ing Japanese cities. It is not settled yet that Portland merchants will go, but the matter is being considered. It is be lieved that much good would be realized from 'such a trip, for it would bring about a better understanding between the two countries from a commercial standpoint. It is said, and would doubtless have a de cidedly beneficial effect in creating, wider markets for Oregon products in Japan. A number of San Francisco merchants will sail for Japan on September 26 and will spend some time looking over the commercial development of the land of the Mikado. The San Francisco excur sionists have tendered an invitation to the Portland business men to accompany them on the trip that the Pacific Coast cities may get into closer commercial touch with the Japanese, the object being benefits to both in carrying on trade re lations. Although the invitation has not yet been accepted, it is likely that It will be and that a number of Portland people will make the trip. While in the land of the chrysanthemum, the visiting business men will be entertained by the various com mercial organizations of the Japanese cities. Will Serve Time at Alcatraz.

When the blood is pure and healthy, the skin will be soft, smooth, and free from all blemishes and eruptions; but when some acid humor takes root in the circulation, its presence is quickly manifested by some form of skin disease. The skin receives its necessary nourishment and strength from the blood. When, however, this vital fluid becomes a humor-laden stream, it can no longer preserve the healthy, natural appearance of the skin, but by its acrid, impure nature continually irritates and inflames the delicate tissues and fibres and keeps the cuticle in a diseased and disfigured condition. External applications cannot reach the blood, and therefore are beneficial only for their ability to reduce inflammation, and assist in keeping the parts clean. To cure any skin trouble the blood must be purified of the humors that are causing the trouble. S. S. S. drives out the humors from the blood so that the skin, instead of being irritated and diseased, is nourished by a healthy, cooling stream. S. S. S. goes down into the circulation and removes every particle of impure matter, all acids and humors, and restores the blood to its normal, pure condition, thereby curing every form of skin disease or affection.

YOU NEED NOT BE A MANHOOD To be strng and manly is the aim of every strong man. and yet how many we find who are wasting the vitality and strength which nature gives them. Instead of de veloping into the strong, vigorous, manly young fellows that nature Intended them to be, they find themselves weak, stunted, and despondent no ambition to do anything. They struggle aimlessly along, sooner or later to become victims of that disease, nerv ous debility; their finer sensibilities blunted and their nerves shattered. f l ure ivien s Uiseases I have treated hundreds of men who had long suffered a gradual decline of physical and mental energy as a. result of private ailments, and have been Interested in noting the marked general improvement that follows a tnorough cure of the chief disorder. My success in curing difficult cases of long standing has made me the fore most specialist treating men's diseases. This success Is due to several things. It is due to the study I have given my specialty; to my having ascertained the exact nature of men's ailments, and the original, distinctive and thoroughly scientific methods of treatment I employ. To those in doubt as to their true condition who wish to avoid the serious results that may follow neglect. I offer free consultation and advice, either at my office or through correspondence. If your case is one of the tew that has reached an incurable stage, I will not accept It for treatment, nor will I urge my services upon any one. I treat curable cases only, and cure all cases I treat. I make definite claims for my meth ods of treating men's d 1 s eases. I claim o r 1 ginallty, distinc tiveness, scien 1 1 f 1 c cor rectness and un appro achable suc cess. Every one of these claims Is backed by substan tial proof. The best evidence of superior ity are the cures themselves. My treatment cures per manently those cases that no other treat ment can cure. This t-st has been made over and over again, and a majority of my patients are men who have failed to obtain lasting bene fits elsewhere. My Fee Is Only For Any Ailment You Pay When Cured Union Pacific Makes Record for Fiscal Year. NO SLUMP IN DIVIDENDS System Returns 16 Per Cent on Common Stock Besides Expending Large Amount for Mainten ance ' and Other Charges. A copy of the Union Pacific's annual report, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1808, has been received in Portland and it shows that the property made a new high record In earnings, despite the pre vailing hard times during the Winter and Spring months. The Union Pacific not only earned its 10 per cent dividends but had over $11,000,000 to spare. These figures do not include the equities in allied lines and show an earning power of 16 per cent on the common stock. The surplus left above the preferred dividends amounts to $31,000,000 and this is equal to 16 per cent on the company's $195,477,000 common stock. The total gross revenue for the company during the year exceeded $90,000,000, which marks a new record. After the payment of operating expenses and taxes, there was a balance of about $415,000,000 applicable to charges and dividends. The company has received during the year from sources listed as "other in come," $1,134,000 on new Southern Pacific preferred, $2,015,000 on Illinois Central, Atchison and other stocks and $SOO,O0O on the $SO,000,000 San Pedro bonds. Despite the splendid showing of the property during the past year, it does not appear that the earnings have been made at the expense of maintenance. Main tenance expense account during the year was $17,000,000 or but $300,000 less than during 1907. Xo other property, it is said, has had so much money spent on it during the last five years for maintenance charged to operation. Last year the Union Pacific spent $154 for every freight car for main tenance. While the depression was at Its height, every car withdrawn from service was immediately put into the best pos sible shape so that the rolling stock is now ready to perform any service it may be called upon to do. Eoubters have decided long ago that the property could not be put upon a 10 per cent basis and kept there but the report Just made, showing the hanisome surplus, seems to disprove this belief. It faces the new year in fine condition. New Line Put In Service.
