TIIE MORXING "OREGOXIAX, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1908. 14 WHEAT SHORTAGE HOLDS UP SHIPS Deliveries of Grain Are Slow in Proportion to Demand. Vessels Delayed. TWO STEAMSHIPS READY French Bark Michelct and British Ship Pesdemona Held Over for October Xederlaad and Mag- . dala AV111 Clear. Owing to the snort deliveries of wheat at Portland one or more craft which were on the slate for September clearance will be held over until Octo ber. Demurrage will be claimed on one of these vessels. Exporters are exerting every effort to hasten the de liveries of grain and vessels will not be delayed more than a day of two. The delay, however, will reduce the totals for September exports foreign. The French bark: Michelet and the British ship Desdemona will not figure in the September list. The Dutch steamship Nederland and the British steamship Magdala will finish today and will clear for the United Kingdom In plenty of time to add their cargoes to the September shipments. These steamships will carry approximately a half million bushels, which, added to the amount already afloat, will make the total for the month more than two million bushels. The Norwegian ship Vigo has com pleted cargo and will clear today. She has on board approximately 110,500 bushels of wheat, destined for orders at Queenstown or Falmouth. The amount of wheat set afloat during Sep tember for foreign ports will bre.k all records for that month. With upwards if 44,000 available tonnage in port it Is safe to assume that October will also break all records for grain ex ports. BREAKWATER BRINGS COAIi Coos Bay Steamer Discharges 800 Tons of Fuel at Alaska Dock. The steamship Breakwater is dis charging 300 tons of Coos Bay coal on the west end of the Alaska dock. The Breakwater was unable to drop Into the berth at the foot of Davis street on account of extreme low water. The vessel brought 300 tons of the output of the Beaver Hill mines on the up ward trip and will bring as much or more on each succeeding trip. Strikes in Montana have caused local dealers to cast about for a sufficient supply for the Winter demand. There Is little coal coming into Portland from Newcastle and none from Montana. Coos Bay will be the only logical source of supply unless the strike sit uation Improves. FCKII MAR IT BRINGS LOGS Japanese Steamship Enters From Asiatic Ports With Hardwood. The Japanese steamship Fukui Mara, from Siberian ports with a cargo of hardwood logs, arrived up at a late hour last night. The vessel Is not chartered for the outward voyage, but she will probably be taken for a mixed cargo for the Orient. She loaded flour for Japan at Portland in April. 1907. The oak logs brought by the Fukui Maru will not pay duty to the Govern ment as they come under the head of round logs, not manufactured. They will be discharged at the mills of the Hanfleld-Veysey Company and will be sawed up at this port. The wood is used largely for fancy furniture. Shipping News of Tacoma. TACOMA, Sept. S8. The Norwegian ship Clyde arrived In port from Seat- fj lie. one wiii complete ner grain cargo here, taking the place of the British barg KUdalton, which shifted to Seat tle Sunday, The steam schooner Sha-Tak, which has completed her repairs at Eagle Harbor, Is expected In port tonight towing the schooner Lottie Bennett. The bark Cloch, which has arrived at Quartermaster Harbor from Port Townsend, is to go on the drkdock for cleaning and repainting before coming to this port to load grain for the United Kingdom. V. S. S. Arnieria Reaches Portland. The United States lighthouse tender Armeria. Captain Gregory, has arrived at Portland after an extended trip to Western Alaska. The Armeria will leave down for Astoria In the morning. The vessel sailed from Seattle for northern stations August 4. She went as far to the westward as Dutch Har bor. During the next two months the Armeria will assist in supplying light stations along the coasts of Oregon and Washington. Marine Notes.

M OS feel BUILD GUM FACTORY HERE American Chicle Company to Make Portland Coast Headquarters. The American Chicle Company, with factories In all parts of the country, and whose headquarters is In New York, has selected Portland for its principal place of business on the Pacific Coast. A deal was closed yesterday for a lot FUNERAL OF WELL-KNOWN J PHOTOGRAPHER TODAY. , Harry C. Hayes. The funeral of Harry C. Hayes, the Portland photographer who died Sunday m o r n i n g at his home, 342 H Washington street, will be held this afternoon at 2 o'clock from Flnley'a Chapel.

Britton, man ager of the company, through David S. Stearns, at a consideration that is not announced at present, and the Chicle Company Intends to. begin the erection of a four-story brick factory on the lot at once. The Coast factory of the company was located in San Francisco before the fire. and since that time the factory has been In a building at Front and Couch streets, in Portland. Upon the advice of Mr. Britton, the general manager of the com pany at New York, H. Rowley, made a trip to Portland to look over two or three selections of sites, and agreed with the local manager that the lot referred to is well suited in point of location and surroundings for a factory. Mr. Britton made the selection after .canvassing the Coast, deciding that Portland was ths superior city of any In which to estab lish the lactory. Portland is rapidly becoming recog nized as the best point for manufactur ing plants. Eastern concerns by their ac tion plainly showing their preference for this city as the best distributing point on the Coast. Announcement is made that the new factory will employ over 150 hands and that the new building will Involve an expenditure of about $10,000. PROTECT AMERICAN HOPS Department of Agriculture Is Con dueling Experiments. The United States Department of Agriculture is. trying to find a hop plant that will resist the ravages of the hop louse and red spider. Dr. W. W. Stockberger, an expert of the de partment, who has charge of this branch of the work, was In Portland yesterday. He has opened a laboratory at Tacoma and is collecting hop roots from various parts of the coast for ex periment purposes. Insect pests have caused a loss of hundreds of thousnnds of dollars to the hop-growers of Ore, gon and Washington, and Dr. Stock berger believes a root can be found or grown that will successfully resist any attack. Department chemists are also making analyses of Pacific Coast hops for the purpose of discovering whether or not they possess as much intrinsic value as German hops. It Is the contention of hopgrowers here that the Pacific Coast hops are equal If not superior to Ger man hops in all the properties re Quired by the brewers, a point, however, that brewmasters will not yet concede. A Paying Investment. Mr. John White, of 38 Highland Ave.. Houlton, Maine, says; "Have been trou bled with a cough every winter and spring. Last winter I tried many ad vertised remedies, but the cough con tinued until I bought a 50c. bottle of Dr King's New Discovery; before that was half gone, the cough was all gone. This winter the same happy result has followed; a few doses once more ban ished the annual cough. I am now con vinced that Dr. King's New Discovery is the best of all cough and lung reme dies."

Reports Received by Weather Bureau and by Chamber of Commerce Tell of Losses. That the recent frosts prevalent throughout the Northwest have done great damage to late crops of different varieties is evidenced by reports recently both of the Weather Bureau and the Chamber of Commerce Horticultural bul letin. While the receiving" of agricultural re ports has been, eliminated from the duties of the District Forecaster during the past two years, he has nevertheless been in formed of some of the damage Inflicted by the cold snap, and estimating a like effect upon adjacent districts to those reported, it Is surmised that the damage from frost Is pretty general throughout the states of Oregon, Washington and Idaho. The crops especially affected by the frost seem to be potatoes and grapes, while in some Instances damage to late corn a.nd tomatoes Is reported. However, the biggest 'sufferc.-s are the owners of grape vineyards -and potato patches. Con cord grapes, especially in the Willam ette Valley, are damaged from 70 to 80 per cent, according to the report received by the Chamber of Commerce, and the late potatoes, owing to the lateness of the rains, are. probably damaged fully 60 per cent. All Late Crops Hurt. Acting Forecaster Montgomery, who is In charge of the Portland office in the absence of Forecaster E. A. Beats, stated yesterday that it was his belief that ail of the late crops in the Northwest were more or less affected by the sudden frost which prevailed for two days In nearly every district. At Albany, on Septem ber 24 and 5, the frosts were especially heavy, and reports have come in from Roseburg. Coos Bay and Siskiyou on the south, and Baker City, Wallowa and Walla Walla on the east which denote similar conditions. In the higher altitudes like The Dalles and Baker City, the effect must have been much more severe than at Albany, where the thermometer regis tered 29 degrees during the two days the frost prevailed. One ranch alone, near Milwaukfe, re ports to the Chamber of Commerce the killing of practically the entire crop of a 600-acre tract of potatoes, which is evl dence of the extensive damage done by the short spell of cold weather. Corn Xot Yet Cut. Superintendent Williamson of the Cham ber of Commerce horticultural display, when questioned last night, said: "The damage from frost has been most exten sive. In fact I believe that fully 80 per cent of the grape crop, that is the Concord variety, has been ruined. It Is also quite probable that tomatoes have been dam aged to some extent, but this crop has practically been harvested, and the dam age therefore is not as extensive as it might have been. However, Judging from a few of the reports I have received, It seems that the heaviest sufferers will be the growers of potatoes and late corn for silage purposes. In many places the corn has not yet been reaped and stored in the silo, and the frosts undoubtedly have damaged this crop greatly. As to the po tato crop, I should judge that fully 50 per cent of the late potatoes still In the ground have been destroyed, and this will prove one of the most serious losses." The extent of the damage from a mone tary standpoint is hardly possible to com pute, for the reports from outlying dis tricts where crops are heaviest, are mea ger in the extreme, and it will probably be several weeks before a correct estimate of the damage can be made. w. nun utopia IMPRACTICABILITY OP METH OD DEALING WITH TRUSTS. Vague and Visionary Character of His Plan and Emptiness of Its Promise. New York Times, Ind. The Supreme Court held, in the Knight case, which was a Federal pro ceeding against the Sugar Trust, that production is not Interstate commerce; combinations of manufacturers! there fore, though they may have estab lished a substantial monopoly of their product, are subject to atate regulation, and are not under the control of Con gress exercising its powers over inter state commerce. Mr. Bryan is quite un troubled by this opinion of the Supreme Court. In ,hls speech about trusts at Iiulianapolis, he calmly set forth, with much detail and specification, his plan for regulating all the trusts by a Fed eral license system. Whenever a trust controls 25 per cent of the product it comes under the license regulation; when its product exceeds 50 per cent of the total, the Government Interferes and compels it to reduce ite output by disposing of plants. How this license policy of regulation is to be reconciled with the decisions of the court Mr. Bryan pauses not one moment to in quire, although the people will have some natural curiosity on the subject, and, of course. Congress, before passing an act, would be somewhat fully ad vised by its lawyer members. Mr. Bryan takes as a premise his own assumption that all private mon opolies are in their nature baneful; that when a trust or manufacturing combination has come to control 25 per cent of the product, It becomes a monopoly, or Is so near a monopoly that Interference Is demanded. His conclu sion Is that when his license system Is adopted there will be no monopolies, and all manufacturing business will be carried on in white-souled Innocence, purged of extortionate and Illegal prac tices. The weakness of Mr. Bryan s argument lies undoubtedly in his prem ise and In his conclusion. But for that, the conditions pictured forth in his Indianapolis speech would constitute a veritable Utopia for the establishment of which an Impatient people could with the greatest difficulty wait until March 4 next. General terms are safest In describ ing Utopias. Mr. Bryan runs risks In descending to detail. The wicked trusts at present are, according to Mr. Bryan, addicted to the practice of underselling their competitors in certain parts of the country in order to drive them out of business. When they are driven out. up goes the price. Under Mr. Bryan's plan, this would be stopped. The trusts would be compelled to "sell to all cus tomers upon the same terms, due al- lowance being made for the cost of transportation. That la to say, tne Government would in certain states compel the people to pay higher prices In order to keep competing concerns in operation. The Increased cost of living would be one of the burdens of the new Utopia. Whenever a trust controlled more than 60 per cent of products the Government would compel It to dispose of enough of its plants to reduce the output below 60 per cent. The plants It was forced to sell "would become In dependent plants, competing with it." Mr. Bryan continues: This competition would reduce prices, and the reduced prices would increase the demand for the article, and this increased demand would stimulate the building of more factories and stve a larger employ ment to 1-j.bor. This, closet-created Utopia is admir able. Economic conditions, however, perversely refuse to submit themselves to rules formulated in the closet, some times even to those enacted in the leg islative chamber. Suppose the pur chasers of the Independent plants were not philanthropists bent on reducing prices by competition, but ordinarily selfish persons looking out for profits. Instead of establishing prices at rates which would Increase demand, and therefore tempt rivals to enter their field, it is not impossible that the new owners of the independent plants would keep prices up to the general level maintained by the trusts in other parts of the country. In fact, they would almost Inevitably do that. That the people of the country would under Mr. Bryan's plan be able to buy at prices lower than those fixed In general by the present agencies of production Is to the last degree Improbable. The com plex business organization of a great country brought Into existence and controlled by laws that are inherent in human nature itself, cannot so easily as Mr. Bryan imagine be subjected to rules and policies formulated by political philosophers like Mr. Roose velt and Mr. Bryan, neither of whom has had any business experience. Mr. Bryan exposes himself to very serious danger when he Insists that the competitive conditions established by his license law would help the wage earner. "Where a number of inde pendent industries are endeavoring to secure the highest skill, the skilled labor has the best assurance of obtaining a fair recompense," he says. It requires some hardihood to make, and It would be Impossible to sustain that assertion Inasmuch as it Is uni versal knowledge that the concerns he Indiscriminately denounces as trusts are the best paymasters in the country. The wage-earners employed by the Steel Trust, for instance, would hardly be persuaded to vote for Mr. Bryan because of his empty theorizing about wage conditions under competitive conditions established by a Federal li cense. His promise of relief to the people Is just as empty as his assurance of better wages to workingmen. "The people," he says, "have been robbed by the trusts to the extent of hundreds of millions a year." The people of this country have undoubtedly suffered greater money losses through the late panic which. If not brought on by the policy of persistent and reckless as saults upon 'business, was made many times more disastrous through the gen eral Impairment of confidence which those assaults had engendered than by the extortions of all the trusts since Mr. Bryan first ran for the Presidency. We venture to say that the election of Mr. Bryan would have cost the people more than the trusts have cost them since trusts began to be. The weakness of Mr. iBryan's trust policy lies In the vague' and visionary character of his plan, and In the empti ness of Its promise. Persons far ex ceeding him In wisdom and sharing his radical views have for years sought by the formulation of policies and in the drawing of bills to devise- curbs for monopoly and remedies for trust evils. They have been only moderately suc cessful. He produces- from his own unaided mind a plan of universal scope and of guaranteed efficiency. To say that he has confidence in the virtue of his nostrum, in other words, to say that he believes what he said at Indian apolis, would impugn his intelligence. LAUDS PORTLAND AS PORT California Man Speaks Glowingly of City's Future. J. A. Fllcher, of Sacramento, secre tary of the State Board of Agriculture, and F. A. Wiggins, of Los Angeles, sec retary of the Chamber of Commerce of that city, were guests of the Portland Commercial Club yesterday. They were appointed by Governor Gillett to have charge of the California building at the Seattle Fair, and are on their way there to assume their duties. Mr. Fll cher and Mr. Wiggins held the same positions at the Expositions held at Chicago, Buffalo, Omaha, Charleston and Portland. Both men expressed themselves as deeply impressed with Portland's evidences, of prosperity and healthy growth. "Though I have visited Portland sev eral times since the Lewis and Clark Fair," said Mr. Filcher yesterday, "I have been impressed each time with the city's growth and activity. It is certainly surprising to one who was here before the Exposition to see what has been done; and still there is much to be accomplished. If "you can get the Columbia River deepened, Portland will hum. Before the Fair the spirit of the town was slow. The Exposition put Portland before the world In a way more nearly In proportion to its im portance. Its 'commercial advantages had not been recognized. The Fair de veloped the city just as a wide ac quaintance develops a man. As Port land grows It will attract other in terests. Some day there will be a tunnel under the river. The East Side Interests will demand It. The bridges even now are Insufficient. The East Side seems destined to become the cen ter of the manufacturing and whole sale establishments, for the reason' that there Is more room and sites can be ob tained at relatively less expense. "Portland's future depends to a large extent upon the Improvement . of the Columbia River. Hamburg, the second seaport In the world, is 90 miles inland on the Elbe River. The largest vessels enter that port. What Hamburg can do Portland can do. This city is the commercial center of the Northwest.

PINKHAM'S VEGETABLE COMPOUND For proof of this statement read the following letters. Mrs. Barbara Base, of Kingman, Kansas, writes to Mrs. Pinkham : " For eight years I suffered from the most severe form of female troubles and was told that an operation was my only hope of recovery. I wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice, and took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and it has saved my life and made me a well woman." Mrs. Arthur E. House, of Church Road, Moorestown. N. J., writes : "I feel it is my duty to let people know what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound has done for me. I suffered frem female troubles, and last March my physician decided that an operation was necessary. My husband objected, and urged me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and to-dav I am well and strong." FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN. For thirty years Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound, made from roots and herbs, has been the standard remedy for female ills, and has positively cured thousands of women who have been troubled with displaoemen ts, inflammation, ulcera tion, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, and backache. Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women to write Uer for advice. She has guided thousands to has the advantage of a down-grade haul from the grain and fruit lands of Eastern Washington and Idaho.

When the West comes into Its own, the larg est cities on the American Continent will be on the Pacific Coast, and Port land will occupy a commanding posi tion." COLLEGE TO BE DEDICATED Date Set for Consecration of Xew College of Christian Brothers. The alumni association of the Chris tian Brothers College, at the meeting held Sunday afternoon in the hall of the new college building on Grand avenue and Clackamas street, W. P. Sinnott presiding, pledged $1000 toward the building fund, the money to be uded to furnish the assembly hall. It was an enthusiastic meeting. Brother Andrew, head of the college, was pres ent. October 30 was the time fixed for an opening entertainment in the new hall, and the following committee was appointed to make arrangements: Jo seph N. Meyer, J. T. Smith, William McCann. A. Barnlckel, Cass Campbell, J. F. Sinnott, John F. Cahalin, William T. Concannon. John Douglass, Fred Webber, J. O'Connor, H. Springer and W. Sheehan. It was decided to hold the dedica tion of the new college building No vember 29, and the following committee of arrangements was appointed: Charles McDonnell, F. J. Brady, Dr. J. C. Zan, Dr. W. F. Trimble, W. J. Petrain, John W. Kelly. N. J. Brennan, W. P. Lillis, John Kutcher, Arthur Har ris, W. E. Donovan, A. J. Gratton, W. O. Donnell, Brother Andrew. It is intended to make the dedication an Important ceremony, and state and city officials will be asked to take part in the exercises. Work on the build ing Is being crowded forward, so It will be completed before November 29, the date of the dedication. Brother Andrew showed the members of the as sociation over the building, and they admired Its arrangements very much, especially the big assembly hall, which will seat 1500 people, and which is pro vided with stage and gallery. On the outside of the college a double hand ball court is being erected at a cost of $4000. PERSONAL MENTION. Mrs. Eva Cohn. of San Francisco, and her daughter.

I have an established reputation In Portland, which I hold as a priceless asset. I undertake only curable cases, and when I promise a cure I guarantee it, and my business standing and bank refer ences assure the patient that my guarantee is absolutely binding. I do not think I can show better faith in my ability and methods than my unqualified offer to patients. Many a youth of splendid promise has failed because of some weakness, the nature of which made him delay seeking medical aid until It had become serious, and greatly In jured his life's opportunities. I have seen thousands of these cases, and have heard the story of their suffering. Usually there Is also a history of incompetent treatment by family doctors, patent medicines, electric belts and unprincipled medical institutes and so-called "specialists." RESULTS ARE THE ONLY TEST I make definite claims for mv methods of treating Men's Diseases, I claim originality, distinctiveness, scientific correctness and unap proached success. Every one of these claims is backed bv substantial proof. The best evidence of superiority are the cures themselves. My treatment cures permanently those cases that no other treatment can cure. This test has been made over and over again and a majority of my patients are men who have failed to obtain lasting benefit elsewhere. PAY WHEN CURED My Fee for a Cure Is Only Simple In Any Can any rvsmonable man dealre a more fair teat of my methods than to let me cure him first and to pay the bill when he la wellf No man could be fairer than that. I take all the risk. You take none whatever. You have everything to gain and absolutely nothing to lose. WEAKNESS I have a treatment for men's weakness which is entirely out of the line of the stimulants and tonics which for a long time was the only help that physicians had to offer for such condition. Being all the treatment known to the ordinary physician and all that was mentioned in medical text books from which such disorders were studied, its frequent failure to give help caused many honest and well-meaning physicians to admit that there was nothing to help a man whose virile power was declining. But my exhaustive studies in the specialties of Men's Weakness proved conclusively to me that -this class of disorder in about nine cases out of ten is due to an affection of the nerves or the prostate gland, or to a disturb ance of the blood supply. Treat ments must be given to the affect ed part. It must be local and di rect. Then the result is never In doubt for a minute, and the cure Is as permanent as it is absolute.

By varicocele we understand a twisted, hardened and knotted con dition of the veins carrying the blood. This is a very common complaint and Is produced by vari ous causes. It seldom causes any rapid decline, but undermines In sidiously and weakens the suffer er in both mind and bodv. The stagnant blood in the affected veins seriously interrupts the blood supply of the organs, and often Is the cause of reflex symp toms which are not easily recognized.- The ordinary physician ad vises an operation for varicocele, and knows of no other treatment.
