The local union has declared that It does not care to han dle cargoes that have been partly handled by Incompetent men In Seattle. The Pupet Sound Shipping Association has been having trouble with the Long shoremen's l'nlon of Seattle. It is claimed by the local union that many incompetent men have been employed to load cargoes and that ships have been consequently Improperly loaded. The local union as a consequence has decided to refrain from aiding In loading any partly loaded vessels that may be sent io this city from the Sound. The reso lutions adopted last night follow: Whereas, the Puart Sound Shipping As sociation is at present Involved In a serious and far-roachln strike or lockout with its employ??, and Whereas. . several vessels partly loaded by Inexnenenced men. thereby endangering the seawnrthlnew of said vsels. and Whereas, several of said vessels are due to finish their cariro in this port; be it Resolved.

They had picked up their net below Sand Island after nlldnight and started home in a very heavy fog;. Losing; their bearings, they ran on Clatsop Spit and the boat capsized. Flynn was drowned at once, but De Rock clung to the overturned boat for nearly three hours until rescued by another fishing boat. His body and limbs are a mass of bruises, but he Is not seriously injured. The drowned man was a native of Belgium. 38 years of age, unmarried, and had been in this country about four years. His body was not recovered. A Chicago m-m of contractors Is about to undertake what Is said to be the greatest house-moving task on record.

LROAD BUILDERS ACTIVE IN OREGON Hill and Harriman Expected Soon to Announce New Trunk Lines. SPY OUT COAST COUNTRY Extension From Astoria to Tilla mook and Road Vp Deschutes Believed to Be Among Hill's Early Projects. That important railroad developments, second to none in importance to Oregon, are impending, and that definite an nouncements of new trunk lines in this state will be made within the next few weeks, is the belief of those in close touch with transportation matters. Both the Harriman and H1U systems are be lieved to be laying their plans for new railroads in this state, and the projects have progressed so far that it is believed the two systems are on the eve of be ginning work. Because of the progress being made It is not unlikely that James J. Hill, when he attends the banquet that will mark the opening of the North Bank road, will have further announcements to make of new mileage. to be construct ed in this state, similar to his original declaration that he would build the Spokane, Portland & Seattle, which he made at a banquet given mm nere our ing the Lewis and Clark Fair. Harriman Officials Busy. . From the Harriman people, too, much is expected by the time the next con struction season opens at the latest. Not only Mr. Harriman's presence in the state, but other significant moves by the officials of the system, foreshadow important developments. Furthermore, activity by the Hill interests means-railroad Dulldlng by the Harriman system as well, in order to maintain the prestige of the latter In this state. Perhaps as important a move as has been made lately, in railroad circles here Is the trip of Traffic Manager J. G. Woodworth, of the Northern Pacific, to Tillamook. Mr. Woodworth, after con sultations with prominent Hill officials in this city, left quietly his week for Tillamook from Seaside. He walked along the surveys made by Hill engi neers down the coast from the present terminus of the Astoria & Columbia River Railroad at Seaside. That he took enough Interest in the country to be opened up by the projected mileage to walk over the surveyed route indicates that things are brewing for the extension of the road south Into Tillamook and the Oregon coast country. Mr. Woodworth Is a traffic man. as keen a one as is attached to the Hill staff. On his walk ing tour he would have ample opportu nity to estimate the volume of traffic to be expected along the projected line and to judge of the feasibility of the sur veys. Engineer Miller In Astoria. That N. D. Miller, chief engineer for the Hill forces in the construction of the North Bank road." has taken up his resi dence in Astoria is another fact that adds to the belief that the Hill roads will in vade Western Oregon. Mr. Miller was brought out here from St. Paul to build the pokane, Portland & Seattle road, a task which he completed most creditably. Now that the line is finished, it would be his wish to return to his home and friends in St. Paul, were he not needed further to direct Hill construction in this territory. Astoria would be the logical headquarters for operations in the coast country. There have been many high officials of the HU1 system in Portland during' the past few weeks, and there have been con ferences without end. C. M. Levey, third vice-president of the Northern Pacific, with Headquarters at St. Paul, where he Is said to be close to the throne, came to the city with H. C. Nutt. general manager of the west end of the same railway. Mr. Levey said he would be in this territory all Summer. Traffic Men In Conference. Mr. Woodworth came soon after and spent more time here than would be warranted by any other than important developments. A. L. Craig, general pas senger agent for the Great Northern, of St. Paul, and W. A. Ross, of Seattle, as sistant general passenger agent for the Great Northern, have been in consulta tion with different Hill officials here for the past few days. Further construction In this state by the Hill lines to serve as feeders for the new North Bank road. Just completed, is confidently expected. Hill engineers in the vicinity of The Dalles during the past few weeks, and the announcement that work will start soon on a line of railway up the Des chutes River, believed to be a Hill proj ect, confirm the belief of important de velopments in this territory by the Hill railroad interests within a very short time. Meanwhile the Harriman people have been far from Idle. As If to guard against invasion of Central Oregon from the north by the Hill lines. R. B. Miller, head of the traffic department of the Hariman lines In this territory, has just completed an automobile trip through the country south of Dufur and lying west of the Deschutes River. His mission Into that country is shrouded in mystery, and. like the trip of Mr. Woodworth into the Tillamook wilds, is called a tinning ex pedition. That it is traffic, and not fish. (that Is the object in each case is be lieved. Harriman May Visit Portland. Mr. Harriman's presence at Pelican Bay and his wish to talk over the trans portation needs of the state with the Governor and his general manager, J. P. O'Brien, indicate that he is about to make announcements of further mileage under his control in this state. The re turn of Mr. O'Brien and Governor Cham berlain next Sunday is eagerly awaited as perhaps throwing some light on the results of the conference, arfd it is prob able that Mr. Harriman may visit Port land personally not far from the time that James J. Hill comes out to open the North Bank road, which will be not far from September 10. Julius Kruttschnitt, director of mainte nance and operation of Mr. Harriman's vast mileage, is also lnr the Tillamook country, looking over routes into that Isolated but rich section. It looks like there will be a race between the rival interests to lay rails into that fertile dis trict. Unless all these things presage impor tant railroad developments for this state, many who are watching the situation cidsely will be greatly disappointed. They believe Mr. Hill's interest In this newly opened territory is sufficient to induce him to build more roads here, while Mr. Harrlman'a recent bond Issues are suffi cient to provide for Oregon roads in ad dition to the needs of his system elsewhere. LAST OF EXCURSION' RATES Many Prospective Travelers Prepar ing for Trips to East. Today and tomorrow are the final sale dates for the round-trip Eastern excursion tickets of the Summer. Hosts of pros pective travelers have thronged the local ticket offices during the past few days flirting with tickets East and 'shopping among the various lines to see what was offering in the way of stopovers and routes. From the large number of in quiries, it appears that travel during the final days of the month will be heavy. To date, the movement on these special excursion rates to the East has kep up fully with last year's business. A special Pullman car of delegates to the National Encampment of the G. A. R-, at Toledo, Ohio, will leave the Union depot Sunday night. There will be about 20 in the party. A large excursion of about 300 people will reach Portland tomorrow morning by special train from Idaho and Eastern Oregon. The excursionists will go down the river to North Beach on the Potter Saturday afternoon. Travel to California has been heavy during the past week on account of the Eagles returning home from the Seattle convention. Beach travel to all the re sorts has been heavy also. XEAV BILL OF LADING FORM Harriman Lines In Oregon to Use Uniform Sheet. After numerous joint conferences be tween shippers of the country, ' the Interstate Commerce Commission and the railroad traffic managers, a new uniforom bill of lading has -been adopted by the Harriman lines in this territory which will go into effect on the Oregon lines November 1. The un iform bill of lading represents two or three years of study and conferences on the part of the three interests. It is believed it will eliminate some transportation features of the present forms objectionable to shippers on ac count of the limited liability of the carriers. The Interstate Commerce Commis sion made no order in the matter, but acted simply as an intermediary, as being interested . in the satisfactory adjustment of the question. The bill of lading in its new form will proba bly be adopted by all rail lines in the country. . PERSONALMENTION. M. H. Curran, of Fargo, North Da kota, a veteran conductor on the Great Northern Railway, is visiting friends in this city. Rev. W. T. Jordan, pastor of the Central Baptist Church, with seven boys of that church, has returned, from a camping trip. The party selected a deserted ranch some distance back from the Columbia River, where they spent ten day in a most de lightful manner. Dr. Jordan has 15 days left of his vacation, and plans a. trip on horseback. A. L. Craig, general passenger agent for the Great Northern, who formerly held a like position with the Harriman roads in this territory, left Portland yes terday for his offices in St. Paul, after spending two days in this city. Mr. Craig has a wide acquaintance here and his friends are always glad to see him come back to Portland if only for a short visit. O. Gunderson, solicitor for the Sal vation Army Rescue Home, has re turned from an extended trip through the country on both sides of the Co lumbia River's mouth. He conducted meetings at Astoria, Long Beach, r ! dlrnn.nlj.onra C V f V i 1 1 V UCcail A ill A, CBaLiiunan-i - latskanie and othor places.

CANNOT FILL ALL ORDERS Secretary Wastell Declares That Buyers In All Parts of Country Are Increasing Their Business Rapidly. Such improvement has been felt in the lumber business during; the past few weeks that some mills are now ac tually refusing orders. The trade Is much gratified at, the favorable .out come of the rate controversy with the railroads, and manufacturers predict a very successful Winter. "Order books that were very lean are now plethoric and actually busi ness is being; declined by a number of mills," said A. B. Wastell, secretary of the Oregon & Washington Lumber Manufacturers' Association, yesterday. "Some mills have to decline because they are oversold even when taking; Into consideration a prospective 0 days' run. Times have picked up and some manufacturers who have not had foresight are now scurrying around trying to unload their cheap business at the advanced prices that now pre vail. Tide Turns for Better. "Buyers in Colorado have been ooy until recently, but large orders have been placed by buyers there lately. In Utah, stock Is needed in most districts, with some buying. Reports from Mis souri indicate that trade has improved considerably. - East of the Missouri River, the unsettled condition of rail road rates is considered a handicap in figuring on flr lumber. "On all sides we see evidences that the tide has turned. A steady Im provement from this time onward may be looked for with confidence. In all the cities of the country, mills of all kinds are reopening their doors. "It will be remembered that until last October, cars were not sufficient to handle the traffic. From present Indications that condition will soon be reached again. The railroad chiefs grumbled then because they could not borrow enough money at reasonably low rates to allow them to keep up with their demand for new trackage and rolling stock. That complaint is no longer available, as money for all business purposes is now abundant and cheap. As a-stimulus to the re 9JB danger incident to the ordeal makes its anticipation one of misery.

These orders are mostly in the hands of buyers' agents who are seeking to place them but the mills are holding out for better prices. It is a question of how much more they will be obliged to pay than they have anticipated, for it is the general impression that the lumber market will be tilted further within the next few months. Although the recent advance in do mestic and . export lumber prices ap proximates fully 10 per cent, it is said by contractors that this fact will not be likely to hinder building operations materially. It is maintained that the cost of lumber does not amount to more than 10 or 12 per cent of the total cost of building a house and that the Increase Is therefore so small that it does not figure. The log market is firm, with good prices. The improvement in the lum ber outlook has resulted in the an nouncement that ' many loggers, who have shut down their camps during the lull in the business, will resume logging operations on September 1. This increased activity along the Col umbia River means additional wealth to this city and state. During the past 30 days, the log market has been firmer with a scarcity of yellow flr, which is quoted at from 9 to $9.50 a thousand, while there is an abundance of red flr at $5.50 to $6.60. depending on the quality of the logs and their length. Spruce logs are weaker at from $9 to $11, with cedar In better demand, the price ranging from $9 to $10. FANTAN GAME IS RAIDED Kay and Keinlen Surprise Chinese . , at Favorite Amusement. Last night was the second time within two weeks that Chinese gamblers have had forced upon them the significance of the number 13. Thirteen Chinese, gathered about a fantan table secreted behind barred doors in the rear of the store at 12S Second street, were ensnared in the meshes of the law last night in a raid made by Detective Kay, assisted by Pa trolman Keinlen. Unusual zest was lent to the game. 'be cause yesterday was a feast day in China town. The players had just remarked that especially good fortune had accom panied the festive occasion, when Kay and Keinlen confronted them, after bat tering down a door with sledge hammers. To say that the feelings of the assemblage were outraged would be drawing It mildly. Remarkable as a coincidence was the fact that there were three piles of stakes, each containing $13.13. The significance of the recurrence of the ill-fated number manifested its impression upon the coun tenances of the Orientals. Ho Wah, the dealer, put up $30 bail for each of the 13 participants in the game. Besides the dealer and Lee Foo the Ah family made up the party. Tlrey were represented by Ah Fong, Ah Hing, Ah Lung, Ah Sang, Ah Wah, Ah Louie, Ah Foo, Ah Charley, Ah Sam, Ah Won and Ah Lose.

' "A little over a year ago I was taken sick while in the engine-house, and it developed into heart trouble and malaria. I went to a number of doctors and two different hospitals and went through a course of treat-, ment from each, but I did not receive much benefit from any of them. The: doctors would not let me go in swim-! ming, nor smoke, nor drink anythingi but water. I stopped both tea and I coffee. My ease was getting very; serious when a friend said to meii 'Why don't you get a bottle of Duf-i fy's Malt Whiskey? I know a manj who was given up for all time, andj he took Duffy's Malt Whiskey and; today he is as well a man as you can; find.' So I commenced taking Duf-, fy's Pure Malt Whiskey, and the re-, suit is that the doctors now say that! I am all right, and I never felt bet-; ter in my life. Of course, I am very; little good as far as heavy work is: concerned, owing to my injury, but I! am well, and that is a good thing to: be able to say. I thank you for the: remedy that put me on my feet: again." Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is an: absolutely pure distillation of malted grain; great care being used to have every kernel thoroughly malted, thus destroying the germ and producing a predigested liquid food in the form of a malt essence, which is the most effective tonic stimulant and invigo rator known to science ; softened by warmth and moisture, its palatability and freedom from injurious sub stances render it so that it can be re tained by the most sensitive stomach. ('Dose) : One teaspoonful in each glass of drinking water during the hot weather will kill all germs. If weak and run down, take a tea spoonful four times a day in half a glass of milk or water. It stimulates the heart action, causes the blood to course more quickly through the veins and builds new tissue. Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is sold throughout the world by druggists, grocers and dealers, or shipped direct for $1.00 per bottle.
