FLOUR RATES TO REPRESENTATIVE OF ITALY'S NAVY WILL VISIT PORTLAND Plain Facts About the Hair J ORIENT ADVANCE Alesia Clears for Japan With Large Cargo of Bread stuff on $2 BasiS. SEPTEMBER BUSIMESS BIG Foreign Grain Exports for Xcxt Month Will Pass 2,000,000 Bqshel Mark Much Steam Tonnage En Route. The steamship Alesia. of the Portland ft Asiatic steamship line, cleared yester day for Hongkong and Japanese ports with 49.724 barrels of flour and a small quantity of general cargo. The value of the Hour shipment was 19S.8 and the genera) cargo was appraised at tS6. The Alesia will leave down this afternoon, the delay being due to some slight re pairs to her boilers. The heavy shipment or nour on mo Alesia Is due to the fact that rates on flour shipments to the Orient will be ad vanced 11 a ton on September 1. The rate to Janan has been 2 for some time past but at the last meeting of the agents of the regular liners it was decided to ad vance to S3 on the first of next montn. Buyers on the other side have stocked up on the low rates ana aeptemoer ex nnrta of flour will be short. The French bark Eugenie Fautrel will finish Monday and she will wind up the rraln business for August. She will take close to 110.000 bushels. Reducing the flour exports to a wheat basis the August business, foreign, will run over 600,000 bushels. September shipments of grain will run well over the 2.000.000-busheI mark. In addition to the wheat that will be dls. patched there will be one full cargo of barley. In port at the present time are two steamers and a sailing craft work ing grain. They will form the advance of the September fleet and will get away during the first week. The British steam ship Braemount and the bark Andorinha will finish either September 1 or 2, and the steamship Strathlyon. which Is taking barley, will follow a few days later. Due for September loading are the fol lowing craft which represent a total ton nage of 31.156. Of this amount 21,147 tons are steam and 10,VQ tons are sail. There will possibly be one or two vassels get away during the month and in case of delay one or two sailers will be held back for October. Steamers: Name. Flag. Tonnage. Fall of Nith.

From Sunny Italy, the land of music, fruits and dreamy retrospection, a war vessel seems like an Inter loper. The Italian navy, however, is among the great ones of the world, and a creditable representative of that sea force Is to visit the Port of Portland September 4. The Puglia. commanded by Vlsconti di Fregala U Cusani, is making a friendly visit to North Pacific ports, and will Include Portland in her itinerary. Nearly 300 officers and crew comprise the complement of the cruiser, and these will meet with a cordial reception, not only from their compatriots in this city, but from Americans as well. During the stay of the cruiser in these waters her decks will be visited by hundreds of citizens who may desire to inspect the vessel from far-off Mediterranean. aire cattle raiser, shot and killed him self today at his home In AlLa.

TWO DAYS IN CITY National Traffic Officials Visit Portland. to AFTER ANNUAL CONVENTION Luncheon at Commercial Club, Trolley and Steamer Rides Are on Programme for Local En tertainment of Railroaders. Portland will share with Seattle the pleasure of , entertaining the American Ascociation of Traveling Passenger Agents, which will hold Its thirty-sixth annual convention in the Sound city, Sep tember 14 and 15. Wednesday, September 16, tbe delegates will be the guests of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, on board the steamship President, for a tour around the islands in the north end of Puget Sound. On the following two days the passenger representatives will be entertained in this city. The programme for the convention has Just been issued under the direction of M. J. Roche, of this city, "president of the association, and John H. O'Neill, also of Portland, chairman of the executive com mittee, William McMurray, general pas senger agent of the Harrlman lines for the Northwest, will deliver an address in connection with tha opening exercises, which will be held at 10 o'clock Monday morning, September 14. Welcome by Governor Mead. The programme will begin with a re ception of the members of the association and their families, at the Butler Hotel Annex, after which the party will be es corted to the Elks Hall, where formal addresses of welcome will be delivered by Governor Mead and Mayor John F. Miller, of Seattle. Mr. Roche, president of the association, will respond. At the business session on the opening day the subject for discussion is: "In View of the Changed Conditions in Re cent Years. Relating to Passenger Trafflo and the National and State Legislation Enacted, What Are the Best Methods for Traveling Passenger Agents to Adopt In Soliciting and Securing Business?" The afternoon will be spent In visiting the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition grounds, while a banquet and a grand ball at the Butler Hotel at night will conclude the day's programme. The second and concluding day of the convention will Include a business ses sion, an excursion to the Bremerton Navy-yard and entertainment at the theaters at night. In Tortland September 1 7. The delegates are expected to reach this city Thursday morning. September 17, where the members of the local commit tee have arranged for a trolley ride for the visitors, who will afterwards be tend ered a reception at the Portland Commer cial Club, where luncheon will be served. Friday will be devoted to a steamer ride on the Willamette and Columbia Rivers, after which the convention will disband. "This will be an especially opportune time for the passenger representatives to visit the Pacific Coast," said Mr. Mc Murray, of the Harrlman system, yester day. "It will give them an opportunity not only In a general way to observe for themselves this wonderful section of the country, but will enable them to form some definite idea of the transportation facilities that will be necessary for the 1903 exposition at Seattle. The gather ing will mean much for the development of this section of the country and the people of Portland should "be glad of the opportunity to entertain these visitors for two days." RULIXGS LEAD TO COXFUSION Interstate Commerce Commission Keeps Officials In Hot Water. New rulings by the Interstate Com merce Commission keep passenger agents of the railroads in almost con stant hot Tyater. No sooner do they get one fixed clearly in mind than an other and sometimes conflicting ruling is mde. The latest edict, which is effective September 1, directs that rates listed in the tariff must not be applied to intermediate, points en route. This promises to be one of the moat sin popular rulings so far announced by the Commission, both with passenger agents and the public, for it adds to the rates to the majority of points In the country as well as to the troubles of ticket agents. By virtue of the new ruling, the rail roads must publish rates to each sta tion on their lines. This is so mani festly impossible that the railroads cannot comply and will have to do the next best thing, charge the rate to the nearest station listed in the passenger tarkffs and add the local to the fare. As an example of what will happen all over the country, the rate to Den ver, Col., from the Coast is $35. The same rate has been applicable to inter mediate points within a certain zone of Denver. Hereafter the rate to a Col orado station not listed in the tariffs will be $35, plus, the local, this making a total of $36.50 to a point which is 250 miles 'nearer than Denver. By the new arrangement, baggage must be checked to the station listed in the tariff, to which the ticket is purchased, and then rechecked to des tination, in case it is not a point listed. All of these features promise to cause confusion in the mind of the public and to add to the worries of the hard working ticket agents. It Is the duty of every one who is Interested in hair preservation to learn enough about the sabject to tell whether an advertisement for a hair remedy is reason able or unreasonable. In this connection, the United States Post Office department has begun a much need ed campaign against false and misleading statements in advertisements in general. -While this work is high ly commendable and should be greatly extended, still at the same time it tends to paternalism rather than to personal self-relip.nce. If YOU know that the claims for a hair remedv are unreasonable and untrue, that knowledge will save you money and prevent disap pointment. The trouble lies in the fact that certain over am bitious Proprietors employ advertising writers who do not know the composition of the remedies they write about, and even if they did, they are not expected to know the therapeutic action of the various ingredients. Two very familiar and oft repeated statements are, that the hair must be watered and fed just like a plant, and that the color of the hair, once destroyed, can be re stored by natural process. While both of these state ments are false in everv particular, it requires some little knowledge of the hair follicle to understand why the tatments are false. The hair follicle is a pear-shaped sack in the scalp that holds the hair root. At the bottom of the hair follicle and extending up Into it for a short distance, is a nipple-shaped projection that remains in the scalp when a hair root is forcibly pulled out. This projection is the hair papilia from which the hair Toot" grows. The continuous addition to the bottom of the hair root forces the hair proper out through the scalp. The hair papilla is surrounded by the hair root, which thus takes a bulbous form. Above the hair root or bulb which occupies about three-fourths of the entire follicle is the neck of the hair follicle, below which the most penetrating fluids known to Medical Science cannot penetrate. Therefore, the story of feeding the starved and Impoverished hair roots with an external application is ah a myth. The short portion of the hair follicle above its neck opens somewhat like a funnel and Is filled with the outer SL-alp skin. Opening into this outer portion are the highly important oil or sebaceous g'ands which, from their location, are most exposed to disease. When these oil glands become infected with a certain microbic growth (the cause of dandruff) there is hair disease and finally hair death. Fortunately this outer portion of the hair follicle can be treated by carefully rubbing into the scalp a suitable remedy. What remedy should be'used? Manifestly one that will destroy the growth that causes dandruff, itching scalp, and fallinir hair. IVewhro's Herplelde is the first remedy that was prepared for the particular purpose of destroying this invisible vegetable growth. In fact, it is called the "ORIGINAL, remedy that kills the dandruff germ." Newbro's Herpicide was not made until after Prof. Unna, of Hamburg. Germany (ask your Doctor about him) discovered that dandruff is a highly contagious disease caused by a microbe. The almost marvelous success of Newbro's Herpicldo has caused advertising writers to claim germicidal properties for other hair remedies, many of which were cn the market years before Prof. I'nna's discovery. Do you think that this new claim for old remedies Is a reasonable one? Re member that the hair gets its life, color and strength direct from the blood, and that good blood, deep breathing, and sun-light, favor hair development. Out door exercise, to insure free circulation In the scalp, also scalp massaging for the same purpose, are very helpful. Worry, indigestion, and sedentary habits op- rose hair growth, while the dandruff germ will acttial y destroy the hair, unless It is eradicated and kept out of the scalp with Newbro's Herpicide. Herpicide is delightfully cooling and refreshing to the scalp, and almost marvelous results sometimes fol low Its continued use. It stops itching of the scalp almost instantly.

Contract Awarded for Improvement Between East Thirty-ninth and East Fortieth Streets. Progress on the hard-surface boulevard which is planned to extend from the Wil lamette River to the summit of Mount Tabor was made yesterday when the Ex ecutive Board awarded the contract for the improvement of Belmont street, from East Thirty-ninth to East Fortieth, and. authorized the Auditor to advertise for bids on hard-surface pavement from East Fortieth to East Forty-fourth. With this much done on upper Belmont and the excellent pavement on Belmont between East Twentieth and East Thirty fourth constantly before the eyes of the property-owners as an example of how greatly a good pavement quickly brings new houses to line a street, there seems little doubt that the six blocks beyond the present end of the pavement and the point covered by the recent proceedings will soon be Improved. Further up the slope of Mount Tabor the property-owners are equally desirous for permanent Improvement. The view from almost any point near West avenue G. M. GLIXES LEAVES SERVICE Resigns as Freight Claim, Agent of Harrlman Lines. G. M. Ollnes, freight claim agent for the allied Harrlman lines, has resigned from the service, his retirement to take effect September 1. Mr. Gllnes has held the position since 1905, before which he was assistant chief clerk In the freight department. Mr. Olines has many friends in Portland, where he has a wide ac quaintance because of his long connec tion with the railroads here. James Copland, of San Francisco, has been appointed to fill the vacancy made by the resignation of Mr. Glines. Mr. Copland has been connected with the freight department of the Southern Pa cific in the Bay City for a number of years, and is entirely familiar with the work to be done. He hae already ar rived preliminary to taking up his new duties. Truth and Quality appeal to the Well-informed in every walk of life and are essential to per xnanent success and creditable stand lng. Accordingly, It Is not claimed that Syrup of Fig3 and Elixir of Senna is the only remedy of knows value, but one of many reasons whjr It is the best of personal and fafnily; laxatives is the fact that it cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts without any debilitating after eifects and without having to increase the quantity from time to time- It acts pleasantly and naturally and truly as a laxative, and its component parts are known to and approved by physicians, as it is free from all objectionable substances.

Below East Twentieth a number of property-owners are demanding a pave ment to reach as far west as Grand ave nue, if not to the river. For motor-car and light trap and buggy driving there will hardly be a better scenic driveway In the city than this hard-surface thorough fare to Mount Tabor. The petitions for the permanent ln provement of Broadway from Union ave nue to East Twenty-fourth, of Oak from Seventh to Park, of Twenty-fourth from Thurman to Nicolai. and of Roosevelt from Twenty-fourth to Blackstone, have been approved by the Council. Bids for hard-surface pavements have also been awarded on Eleventh from Washington to Jefferson, on East First from Holladay avenue to Block 59, Holladay's Addition. Fatal End to "Joy Ride."'
