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.

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.

LATE CROPS HURT
Sudden Frost Does Great
Damage in . Northwest.
GRAPES SUFFER MOST
Late Potatoes Also Badly Injured.
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.

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.

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. It

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.

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.

I Core Mem
AND MY CURES ARE THOROUGH AND LIFELONG
I have been-treating men, and men only,
for over 25 years. 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.

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.
I Also Cure Hydrocele, Stricture, Contracted
Disease, Blood Poison, Etc

VARICOCELE.
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.
The sufferer must pay a good fee,
besides the loss of time and the
extra hospital bills. By my Im
proved methods I use no knife,
cause no pain nor loss of time
from business. My treatment is
scientific, thorough permanent
and never fails. It will pay every
man suffering from Varicocele to
Investigate before considering
other treatments.
