TUG M'CRAKEN IN SERVICE
Captain Groves to Represent Port of
Portland Soundings to Begin at
Astoria Trip Has Been De
layed ' Ser-eral Weeks.
Member of the Association of Co
lumbla River Pilots left last night for
Astoria on the Port of Portland tende
John McCraken. The pilots will pro
ceed direct to Astoria, and from that
point will start toward Portland, male
In soundings on all shoals between
Astoria and Portland. The Port of
Potrland will be represented by Captain
Groves. Superintendent of Dredges.
For several weeks the pilots have
been trying to get away from business
long enough to make soundings on the
shoals. The steamer G. H. Mendell, of
the United States Engineers, has been
engaged for the service, but later it
was found necessary by the Govern
menfr to utilize the craft for official
surveys. The pilots then secured the
Port of Portland boat, and they left
down late yesterday afternoon.
On arrival at Astoria the McCraken
will start back with as many pilots on
board as can be spared from duty. Only
the shallowest places in the river will
be sounded, and on the findings the
Government and the Port of Portland
will be asked to dredge out the chan
nel. Captain Harry Emken, of the
Pilots' Association, will act as com
mander of the McCraken.
CARRY BIG CARGO OF FLOCR
Steamship Alesla Will Take About
50, 000 Barrels to Orient.
The regular line steamship Alesla. of
the Portland & Asiatic Steamship
Company, shifted from the Alaska dock
to Alblna yesterday morning. The

The principal item will be flour, of
which commodity the steamer will car
ry upward of 4,000 barrels. The Alesla
will also take a quantity of lumber,
and also some general cargo.
Of the flour cargo, the principal
amount will be delivered at Hongkong.
There are a number of small lots for
Japanese ports. Business is slack In
the Orient in regard to cereal ship
merits from this side.

HARRIMAN CHIEF
VISITS TILLAMOOK
Julius Kruttschnitt Will Inspect
Survey of So-Called
"Lytle Line."
ROAD'S FATE IN BALANCE
Immediate Construction or Further
Delay Depends on Decision
Reached After Auto Trip
Begun In Secret.
Bent on a trip through the Tilla
mook country to see if the so-called
"Lytle road" is worth while, Julius
Kruttschnitt left the city in his private
car Tuesday night for McMlnnvllle,
where he left the railroad and took an
automobile over the mountains to Til
lamook Bay. With Mr, Kruttschnitt is
W. W. Cotton, chief counsel for the
allied lines in this territory, and E. E.
Lytle, president of the Pacific Railway
& Navigation Company, the H'arriman
project Into the Tillamook wilds from
Hlllsboro.
,rln fc a m hoen Veiled in COttSid-
erable mystery, the local Harlman of
fices not being advised oi ine aenwia.
t ih. trio nor when the three
will return. Mr. Kruttschnltt's car was
ordered from McMlnnvllle to forest
Grove yesterday, where it will await
ik.t nfrii, Vm Totiim. The rjartv will
go in to the Coast over the Grand
Ronde road to TlllamooK, ana, alter
a survey of the partly-completed opera
tions on tne nuamooK line i iimi chj,
h. ..turn will he made over the Wil-
son River road to Forest Grove, and
then a trip will do tanen over me cum
niteri Koriinn of the line between
Hlllsboro and Buxton.
Much Depends on Decision.
The personal examination of the
project by Mr. Kruttschnitt -may mean
the early completion of the line, work
on which was stopped when the finan-
ial stringency occurred last Fall, and
all Harrlman construction in this state
was abandoned. And, again, his trip
may signal the abandonment of the
work, at any rate for this season,
which is now so far advanced that it
might be thought not worth while for
construction forces to be assembled
and set to work, in view of the short
season of good weather that may be
expected before the Winter rains set in.
Whichever way the cat may lump, mere
is no denying that Mr. Kruttschnltt's
Jaunt over the Coast Mountains Into
the Tillamook country has much to do
with the destiny of the so-called "Lytle
road." Mr. Kruttschnitt, while having
the title of director of maintenance and
operation for all the Harrlman mileage.
is really more than that, lor ne is a
scout in whom Harriman himself has
great deal of confidence. His recom
mendations as to where or where not
to lay a new track are usually adopted
by the "Wirard of the Pacifies," and
the present Instance will doubtless
prove no exception to this rule.
Busy Visit In Portland.
During his stay in Portland Mr.
Kruttschnitt has put in an exceedingly
busy time. H has been on the go all
the time and it has kept the local offi
cials of the Harrlman interests on the
jump to . keep up with him. Tuesday
he looked over the East side warehouse
district, taking along with him a num
ber of men In authority in the Wells
Fargo building offices. There were
numerous wilted collars when the ex
pedition re-crossed the bridge Into
town.
In the offices, Mr. Kruttschnitt is a
no less indefatigable worker. He con
sumes stacks of correspondence and of
ficial files with avidity. Many a
fagged clerk in the headquarters build
ing will learn of his departure from
the city for a few days with genuine
relief, for the search for documents
and the hurrying of files and maps to
Mr. Kruttschnltt's desk during his few
days' stay here has quite exhausted
them.
Whether the great fir forests of the
Coast Mountains will discourage Mr.
Kruttschnitt in recommending the
construction of the Tillamook line, as
the Eastern Oregon plains. Inhabited
only by chipmunks, did Mr. Harriman
himself last Summer, remains to be
seen. The Immense tonnage to be de
rived from the fir forests, however.
may have the effect of encouraging
the speedy completion of the partly
finished railroad to Tillamook.
FASTER SCHEDCLE TO ST. PAUL
New Road Will Probably Save Port-
landers Eight Hours.
With the completion of the North
Bank road it is expected the Northern
Pacific will be able to cut the time
from this city to St. Paul by at least
eight hours. The crack fast train of
the Northern pacific, f he North Coast
Limited, will, in all probability, be
made up at Pasco instead of on the
Sound, routing the Portland cars of
this train over the North Bank road
directly to Pasco and thence East from
Portland.
Definite announcements have not
been made by the Hill officials, for the
matter is still under advisement, but
this appears to be the logical adjust
ment of traffic that will be made. In
stead of Portland passengers to the
East being hauled around by Puget
Sound, which Is a trip involving hours
they may be routed direct to Pasco
over the North Bank line and thence
on to St. Paul.
The North . Coast Limited leaves
Portland dally at 2 P. The pro
posed arrangement would permit the
Portland part of the train, consisting
of a number of Pullmans, to pull out
of the Union Depot at 10 or 11 at night
and still catch the same train at Pasco.
t would mean a sheer saving of about
eight hours, which is a big thing to
every traveler.
But the train leaving the city dally at
2 P. M. for Puget Sound could not well
be abandoned, for there is heavy travel
to the Sound cities on this train and it
would probably be necessary for the
railroad company to continue this train
in serwice on that account.
NEW SAFETY DEVICE SUCCESS
Invention of Portland Men Aux
iliary to Block System.
That Implicit dependence cannot be
placed on block signals for the safe
operation of trains, and that additional
afeguards are needed to provide for
the lapses of memory that sometimes
occur to trainmen is the belief of J.
Shannon and W. E. Wood, both Port
land men, who have perfected an au
tomatic saftty device that prevents
trains from running past a semaphore
indicating a closed block. When a
train enters a block on a track
equipped with the new device, the
remaphores drop, indicating the ap
proach of a train and at the same
time the new appliance automatically
raises a spring Inside the rail. Should
the engineer fail to see the semaphore
set against him and neglect to stop his
train, this spring trips an attachment
set under the locomotive, setting the
airbrakes on the whole train.
The new device seemingly prevents
all danger of accident from running
past a warning semaphore, and prelim
inary tests at Graham, an O. R. & N.
station Just outside the city, seem to
prove the merits of the invention
claimed for it by the patentees.
During the present session of the
general superintendents of the Harri
man system, the apparatus will be
tried out. Engine No. 23 of the O. R.
& N. has been fitted with the device
and experiments will be tried during
the week at Graham to determine the
fitness of the invention ffcr adoption
as a standard by the superintendents
on all the Harriman lines.
STOP USE OF GROOVED RAILS
Street Railway Company Finds
Tliey Cause Derailments.
Grooved rail on the narrow gauge
lines of the Portland Railway, Light &
Power Company will be given up by
degrees. As the streets are relaid with
rails the T rail will be put down. Fur
thermore, hereafter the streetcar cor
poration will not pave the entise dis
tance between its rails with Belgian
blocks laid in cement, as formerly
when putting down a new line of
streetcar track, but will lay vitrified
brick or stone blocks along the rails
only, and the middle of the tracks and
the space between double tracks will
be paved with the same material that
is used in the remainder of the street.
"Over 200 derailments a month are
caused on our narrow gauge lines
through the use of grooved rails, de
clared President Josselyn yesterday.
"The groove admits only a short
flange and these flanges are constant
ly breaking, causing derailments. We
would be forced to use steel wheels
Instead of the castiron kind if we con
tinued to lay grooved rails and steel
wheels cost three times as much. Any
one who will take the pains to look at
the Holladay-avenue line, which is laid
with a T rail, will find a better track
than any in the city laid with a
grooved rail.
"We are required by ordinance to put
in only a 50-pound rail on our city
lines, and it Is impossible to get a
satisfactory grooved ' rail of that
weight.
"Furthermore, we have been spend
ing too much money on street im
provements. We have spent over $500,
000 already this season in laying new
track and Belgian blocks between the
rails and on both sides of the track.
We could have built twice as much
track had we done only what is re
quired of us by . the city ordinance,
that is, pave only along the side of
each rail with a header of stone or
brick, and out the usual paving ma
terial between the rails."
Visit Cazadero Power Plant.
Charles Selden, wife and daughter,
of Baltimore, ana George Kinsman and
daughter, of Decatur, 111., were the
guests of President Benage S. Josselyn,
of the Portland Railway, Light &
Power Company Tuesday for a trip
over the O. W. P. lines to Cazadero.
where they saw the power station and
large numbers of salmon trying to
leap over the power dam. Mr. Selden
is superintendent of telegraph for the
Baltimore & Ohio, and Mr. Kinsman is
superintendent of telegraph for the
Wabash system. Both are old friends
of Mr. Josselyn, and both expressed
themselves as being delighted with
the country. Mr. Kinsman was so im
pressed with Oregon that he has pur
chased a fruit farm here.
O'Brien to Return Sunday.
General Manager O'Brien, of the Har
riman lines in this territory, will re
turn to Portland 'Sunday night, accord
ing to advices received here from him
yesterday. He will leave Pelican Bay,
where he has -held conferences with E.
H. Harrlman for the past two days, to
morrow and is expected to come out to
the main line of the Southern Pacific
at Weed and come north on the train.
It is not know whether Mr. Harriman
will accompany him north or whether
Governor Chamberlain will come back
to Portland at the same time.
Buckley Entertains Superintendents.
General superintendents of the Har
riman lines now holding a family meet
ing at Portland, were the guests at
luncheon yesterday at the Commercial
Club, M. J. Buckley, general superin
tendent of the Harriman lines in this
territory, being the host. The super
intendents will continue in session to
day and will probably close their ses
sions tonight or tomorrow. A large
amount of routine business of a techni
cal nature is being transacted.

Swollen glands about the neck, weak eyes, pale, waxy complexions,
running sores and ulcers, skin diseases, and general poor health, are the
usual ways in which Scrofula is manifested. The disease being deeply
intrenched in the blood often attacks the bones, resulting in White Swelling,
or hip disease, and the scrofulous and tubercular matter so thoroughly
destroys the healthful properties of the blood that Scrofula sometimes
terminates in consumption, an incurable disease. The entire circulation
being contaminated, the only way to cure the trouble i3 to thoroughly
purify the blood and restore the circulation to a strong, healthy state.
S. S. S. is the very best treatment for. Scrofula ; it renovates the entire
blood supply and drives out the scrofulous and tubercular deposits. S. S. S.
is the greatest of all blood purifiers, and it not only goes right down to the
very bottom of the trouble and removes the cause, but it supplies the weak,
diseased blood with the healthful properties it is in need of, and in this way
builds up weak, frail, scrofulous persons and makes them strong and healthy.
S. S. S. is a gentle, safe, vegetable preparation and is suited for persons of
any age. Book on the blood containing information about Scrofula and any

COUNCILMEN ARE SOUNDED
Southern Pacific Preparing to Ask
Extension From November 13,
Date Set by Council for
Removal of Tracks.
That the Southern Pacific Company offi
cials will seek a further extension of time
in which to operate over its Fourth-street
line, became apparent yesterday, when it
was learned that some members of the
City Council have been approached as to
what attitude they will assume If the re
quest is made. The limit is now fixed at
November 13, 1908, at the expiration of
which it is the present understanding that
the tracks are to be removed.
It is said that the railroad officials wish
further time on account of the fact that
the extension on the Oswego branch, in
cluding a big bridge across the Willam
ette, was stopped when the financial de
pression came on, and has not been re
sumed. This, it is said, necessitates a
change in the company's plans, and it is
almost certain that the corporation offi
cials will soon lay before the City Coun
cil a petition for an extension of time.
Counciimen assert that they have done
all they can, under the law, in fixing the
time limit at November 13, and they state
that when that date arrives it will be
come the duty of Mayor Lane to enforce
the law and eject the company by what- I
ever procedure may be necessary to carry
out the order. When asked regarding the
matter yesterday, Mayor Lane said:
'It is absolutely for the Council to say
when the Southern Pacific Company shall
remove its tracks from Fourth street.
The franchise in this case is the best one
as protecting the city's Interests and for
regulating the company's service that I
have seen. It Is within the power of the
Council to say that one train a day, trav
eling at one mile an hour, shall be run
over the road, or that 20 trains a day,
running at 60 miles an hour, shall be
operated.
"It Is up to the Council to terminate
the operations of the road on Fourth
street at any time, under the terms of
the franchise, and they could have
stopped it long ago had they so desired.
After the date set by the Council for the
cessation of operation on the line, I sup-
pose it will be my duty to see that the
company vacates, which I will cheerfully
do, if the law requires me to do so.
MURDERED IN AUSTRALIA
Rev. Harold Robinson, Formerly of
Hlllsboro Victim of Maniac.
News has Just been received from
Melbourne, Australia, of the death of
Rev. Harold Robinson, who was shot
on the veranda of his own home by a
man named Plncombe, a miner, who is
claimed to be of unsound mind, and
who had a bitter hatred of all who
taught religion. Mr. Robinson was a
brother of the Rev. Albert Robinson,
Presbyterian minister of Hillsboro, Or.
Five years ago he left Australia and
came with his wife to Oregon and for
several months visited with his brother
In Hillsboro. During this time he be
came a member of the Tualatin Plains
Presbyterian church, Of which his
brother was pastor. During his stay in
Oregon he resolved to enter the Gospel
ministry. He became acquainted and
made many friends in and around
Hlllsboro. Sometimes he preached and
supplied appointments for his brother.
In May, 1904, he returned witn nis
wife to Australia and immediately en
tered the active work of the ministry.
At the time of his death he was pastor
of the church in Blackwood, an out
lying town from Melbourne. He occu
pied a house next to the church. On
the fatal day, a little while after noon,
while walking on the veranda, read
ing a book, the assassin fired from
ambush and the bullet passed through
Mr. Robinson's heart, causing almost
Instant death. His wife rushed to his
side only to hear him murmur her
name as he expired.
The murderer had threatened and
showed continued dislike to many peo
ple and he was commonly feared. To
a clergyman (Rev. Mr. Collins) he
wrote a letter challenging him to fight
a duel. The letter was handed to the
police but no action was taken. When
the murderer was arrested his house
was found to be a regular arsenal,
three rifles, two fully-loaded revolvers
and a large quantity of ammunition
were found on the premises.
Mr. Robinson came of a clerical fam
ily in England. His father was the
late Rev. William Robinson, of Liver-

ALL ARE CURABLE
There's no drawing the line between cur
able and incurable diseases. Each individual
case must be considered. Most doctors claim
that among that class of diseases peculiar to
men one or two are Incurable. This idea is
wrong. I have demonstrated that it is wrong,
for I cure all diseases of men. The truth is,
that some cases of curable diseases are in
curablo, and some cases of so-called Incurable
diseases are- easily curable by the right
methods. I by no mians claim the ability to
cure any and every case that may come to
my office, but I claim to cure most of the
cases that others cannot cure, and I always
refuse treatment where conditions indicate
that I will be unable to obtain thorough and
lasting results.
