RECEIPTS SOMEWHAT SLOW Two Sailing Craft Were Delayed by Inability or Exporters to Secure Sufficient Quantity of Grain. News of the Waterfront. Grain export from Portland beat the combined ports of Puget . Sound by nearly 400,000 bushels for the month of September. These figures are exclu sive of barley. Portland dispatched S9S.938 bushete of the latter while none wan sent from the Puget Sound ports Wtth barley added to the Portland grain shipments, Tacoma and Seattle, com bined, are distanced by nearly 700.000 bushels. In these figures flour exports are figured on a wheat basis. The month of September closed with the clearance of the British steamship Magdala, which (rot away yesterday af . ternoon with 22.1. S32 bushels of wheat, valued at :01.200. This brought the foreign shipments up to 1.711.678 bush els of wheat. E.0.723 barrels of flour and J99.83S bushels of barley. California shipment amounted to 322,333 bushels of wheat and 20.3SS barrels of f'.our. Krom Puget Sound the shipments for eign amounted to 1.120.747 bushels of wheat, and 122.341 barrels of flour. California exports from the Sound were: wheat, 239,850 bushels, and flour, 16, 039 barrels. Figures compiled by the Merchants Exchange show a gain for Northwest grain shipments for the first three months of the cereal year of 2,180.390 bushels. The former record for heavy shipments Is beaten by these figures. Prior to this season the corresponding period of 1907 was the heaviest. Wheat receipts have been a trifle low during the past two weeks. This delayed the departure of the French bark Mlchelet and of the British ship Desdemona. both of which should have cleared during September. This would have Increased the wheat exports, for eign, to nearly 2.000,000 bushels. Lumber shipments to foreign ports were average. Two full and one part cargoes cleared. The Coast-wise ship ments amounted to a trifle over 3.000.000 bushels. This Is practically the same as those for the same month of last year.

STORES WILL OPEN Retailers to Continue Defiance of Sunday Order. CASES BEFORE GRAND JURY Although Contest Over .Law Is at Standstill, Merchants Are Out lining Their Fight and W ill Meet Today. Whether or not the legal status of Sunday closing shall have been determ ined by the end of the present week, it is intended by many retallera to keep open Sunday. District Attorney Cameron has not yet put himself on record as to whether he would have the Chief of Police arrest a lolators of the closing law pending a settlement of the test cases now on. But a. heavy percentage of the dealers who have been accustomed to Sunday traffic say they intend to oper ate on the coming first day as in the past. The grand Jury continues to look into the subject and the contest on the law is at a standstill. But the retailers have not ceased activity and are preparing for every possible emergency. There will be a general meeting of retailers today at 3 P. M. at the Chamber of Commerce. The meeting will be for the purpose of "taking stock" on the situation and in stilling enthusiasm and loyalty into the cause. Billiard hall end poolroom operators find themselves isolated from the general campaign at this time. And should the grand Jury report unfavorably on the cases now up, the pool and billiard in terests would still be in deep wateK The present programme Is to try this class of rases out separately in the Municipal Court. That there may be a misunderstanding of the contentions of pool and billiard room men, is sug-gested by Charles I. Brown, operator of the largest billiard hall in Portland. Mr. Brown resents the statements that have been made to the effect that billiard-halls are any more of an Iniquity than cigar stands or the aters. ... "Playing of billiards and pool is a le gitimate pastime." said Mr. Brown, last night. "Hundreds of men and boys get wholesome exercise and diversion. There may be some of these places that are not conducted propertly. but . such as are law-abiding and conducted care fully should not be classed with those that are not legitimate. The billiard room Is Just as legitimate as the theater and it is the essence of narrowness for one man to say that another. Just as good and perhaps better, shall not play billiards on Sunday. The very best peo ple plav the game, which is the most scientific of games, and those who are so ignorant as not to understand that fact are not capable of Judging us. Our in terests are still locked with those of the retailers. "We have been putting up our money In the fight and Invalidity of the law will apply to us quite the same as to the others." FULLER HOME FROM EAST MANAGER OP STREET RAILWAY TELLS ABOUT BUSINESS. Prosperous Year Generally Ex pected Pay-As-You-Enter Cars Soon to Arrive. That the Business interests of the East look for a good year In 1909 is the statement of F. I. Fuller, vice president of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company, and general manager of the railway department, who has returned from an extended trip through many of the Eastern cit ies. "Business is dull Just now," says Mr. Fuller, "but there are evidences of Improvement, and by the first of the year it is expected all lines of in dustry will be In full swing again. "On my way back to Portland I stopped in St. Louis and inspected the 25 new psy-as-you-enter cars now being built there for our company for use in Portland. They will be com pleted within the next few weeks and will be put In service on various lines here this Fall. These cars are the best tvpe ever brought here. They are four feet longer than .the last new cars on the city lines. "The pay-as-you-enter type of car is in use in New York and Chicago, as well as other cities, and is proving verv popular. In Kansas City. I no ticed this kind of car Is being run on the same lines with the old-style car to a greater extent than elsewhere, a sign on the dashboard of the car noti fying the passenger that it Is of the pay-as-you-enter type. Kansas City companies arc rebuilding their old equipment Into the new type by add ing a platform. "The pay-as-you-enter car has had a peculiar history. It was patented In Canada, but car manufacturers in the United States did not acquire the right to build the car for a long time, be cause they maintained it would be un popular in this country. They were backed up to some extent in this posi tion by the trolley companies. Both were wrong, for people generally like the new cars. I think the reason they are so satisfactory Is that passengers are -not disturbed after they get in the car. The conductor does not come around and bother the passengers, for he has already collected the fares, and people are left to read or to talk with out interruption. Then, too. these cars have exits at .both ends, and In alight ing they do not interfere with people entering. "As on my last trip East, I noticed that many cities of the country the size of Portland are far behind us in the quality of their streetcar equip ment. Old cars are kept in service af ter they have outlived their useful ness. I think one reason for this is that Portland, which has more than doubled in population In the last eight years, has made heavy demands-upon our company and large numbers of new cars have been bought to keep up with the increase in population. While I was in Schenectady, the Pub lic Service Commission of New York began a series of fender tests that are the most complete ever attempted in this country. A large number of fen ders were being tried out, and the tests will require a month or so. There were about 75 different tests for each fender on two different trial tracks. Dummies of three different weights were tested In nine different positions on the track. Fenders were attached to two different cars and each fender was given two tests at different speeds. "The locomotive works at Schenec tady were turning out some electric locomotives of an entirely new type for the Great Northern Railway for use in the tunnel through the Cas cades. These locomotives have never h.fnm K,.n nwd In thia pniirtrv and art of the induction motor type. They weigh about 100 tons and are planned for heavy w-ork." Attend Victoria Conference. H. M. Adams, general freight and pass enger agent for the Spokane, Portland & Seattle Railway, and W. E. Coman, as sistant general passenger agent for the Harrlman lines, are Portland traffic men in attendance at the meeting of the in spection committee of the Transcontinen tal Freight Bureau for the North Pacific Coast, now holding sessions at Victoria. B. C. It is expected the meeting will con tinue the remainder of this week. Astoria Train Schedule Changed. Changes in time on the Astoria & Co lumbia River Railroad will go into effect Sunday. The new time card will be prac tically the same schedule as was in effect last Winter. The night train will leave Portland at 6 o'clock, instead of 5:10 P. M.. and the night train will probably be run through to Seaside on Saturday nights only. The dining-car service on the line will be discontinued during the Winter months. MM HSS MORE TO SAY PASTOR WILL CONTINUE SENSA TIONAL REMARKS SUNDAY. Surprised That Dr. Brougher Be came Personal, but Says There Is Only One Brougher. Rev. S. C." Lapham. pastor of the Second Baptist Church, who delivered a sermon Sunday morning on "The Mission and Message of the Church." left early Monday morning to burn some slashings on his ranch near White Salmon. On his return Tues day he found himself the center of a hotter fire than he was able to kindle in the slashings on his ranch, but was not disturbed. A number of letters commenting on his sermon were awaiting him besides the newspaper comments. While he vecards the con tents of the letters as" private, he said yesterday that they were commenda tory of the stand he had taken on the modern church methods. That the sermon attracted wide at tention is BhOwn by the fact that while returning home on the train he heard comments on the sermon by a pas senger. "The position I took on the methods of the modern church," remarked Dr. Lapham yesterday, "Is not altogether new. I have been Informed that the pastor of the Euclid-avenue Church, where John D. Rockefeller attends, stirred up a breeze by denouncing these methods and in the East there Is spreading a feeling that the church must get away from the modern meth ods of getting crowds or lose her in fluence and cease to be a factor in the salvation of men. I was surprised that Dr. Brougher should have become personal In his comments on the ser mon. There is but one Dr. Brougher and one Bob Burdette and there are some others, each in a class by him self." Next Sunday morning Dr. Lapham will speak on the social side of the church, and possibly make some re marks on the comments that his first sermon has called out. ACCEPTS EAST SIDE CALL Rev. 'David M. Cathey Takes Free Methodist Pastorate. Rev. David M. Cathey, the new pastor of the First Methodist Church, on East Ninth and East Mill streets, has arrived from Gresham with his family, and oc cupies the parsonage. Rev. Mr. Cathey is a native Oregonlan, and was born on the old Cathey donation land claim, at Gresham, his father. W. L. S. Cathey, being a pioneer of 1853. While he has not been a traveling pastor. Rev. Mr. Cathey has been active in the Free Me thodist Church for many years, and Is well known. Before there was a church of the Free Methodist denomination in Portland he had charge of the Port land work, holding meetings in the street, halls and private residences. It is expected that it will be necessary to erect a large and modern church build ing in Portland, as the present struc ture is already too small to accommo date special meetings. Rev. Mr. Cathey will take up the building question later In the year. BANK BURGLARIES OF YEAR Plnkerton Detective Agency Renders Annual Report on Losses. The annual report of the Plnkerton Detective Agency to the American Bank ers' Association, setting forth the losses to members of the association, as com pared with thefts and burglaries com mitted upon non-members, has Just been Issued for the 12 months ending Septem ber 1. 1908. It shows where and what bank burglaries and losses from theft have been sustained throughout the United 6tates during that period. Banks of members of the American Bankers- As sociation are guarded by the Plnkerton Company and criminals who attack those Institutions are hunted down by the Pln kerton detectives. Banks that are not members of the association have not the protection of this detective agency. During the past year one Oregon bank the Candy Bank & Trust Company, a member of the American Bankers' Asso ciation, was the scene of an attempted burglary, but the robbers got nothing for their pains. This occurred on April . No other Oregon bank has been attacked during the past year. The number of bank robberies through- --"-- a a a a a ........ ......

"Williams, of Gardiner, Maine, writes : " I waa a great sufferer from female troubles, and Lydia E. Piakham's Vege table Compound restored me to health in three months, after my physician declared that an operation was abso lutely necessary." Mrs. Al-vina Sperlings of 154 Cley bourne Ave., Chicago, 111., writes : " I suffered from female troubles, a tumor and much inflammation. Two of the best doctors in Chicago decided that an operation was necessary to save my life. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound entirely cured me without an operation." FACTS FOR S3CK 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 or women who have been troubled with displacements, inflammation, ulcera tion, tibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, that bearing-down feeling, flatulency,indiges tion,dizziness,or nervous prostration. Why don't you try it ? Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women to writs bcr for advice. She has rrnidert thousands to out the whole country is. according to the report, very unequally divided be tween members of the association and non-members. The total number of members attacked Is 17. while non-members numbering 72 suffered depredations, amounting to $127. 045.23. The amount stolen from members during the- year Is $1-959.26. The biggest bank burglary during the year was committed on- the Farmers & Manufacturers Bank. Rich Hill. Mo., on February 12. when $23,000 was secured by thieves. This institution was not a mem ber of the association. During the past year the Plnkerton Company has Issued bulletins to associa tion members containing 48 photographs of professional criminals and 138 general warnings of their operations. BIG FUND mil NORTHWEST ROCKEFELLER SAID TO PLAN GREAT DEVELOPMENT. Credited With Intention of Spend ing $300,000,000 in Oregon and "Washington. It Is announced on authority that can not be disclosed that the visit of Wil liam Rockefeller to the Pacific North west means yery great development of the states of Oregon and Washington within the next few years. A man In close touch with the Rockefeller interests and also with the St. Paul Railroad made the statement last night that Rockefeller himself will pour $300,000,000 into the two states within the next two years. This huge sum will be used, it is stated, for the development of Oregon and Wash ington along lines yet largely neglected. The Oregonian's informant declined to go into details, but on account of his sources of information, his statements are considered reliable. Confirmation of the statement already published by The Oregonlan that the Chi cago. Milwaukee & St. Paul plans a great development of the Pacific Northwest states is given by the same source of in formation. A strong organization is to be formed in Washington by the railroad now being built to the Coast and that Portland will be the terminus of the line is confirmed. Furthermore, it is stated that A. X. In gersoll, of Tacoma. will be made vice president of tte Pacific Const interests of the C. M. & St. P. and that his ap pointment will be announced todaj-. SIGLER ARRANGING ROLLS Preparing Assessment for County Board of Equalization. County Assessor Slgler's force of depu ties Is busy arranging the assessment rolls for 1908, which must be ready by the third Monday Vi October, at which time the Board of Equalization is to meet. There is much yet to be done, however, as the task is a huge one. Sufficient progress has been made to show that there has been a gain of 15 per cent In the personal property assessment list, however, since March 1. 1908. The work already done by the Asses sor's forces shows that there has been a rapid increase In the city's population, as the large majority of the names on the personal property roll are householders, although there are also a large number of merchants who have personal prop- This is the trade mark which is on every gen uine bottle of Scott's Emulsion sold in nearly all the countries of the world.

Y. I Offer Strength to Every Man By strength" I mean vigor, vim and the ability to perform all the duties and enjoy all the pleasures of life. If you are weak, you not only endure all the physical tortures of the dis ease itself, but you suffer from the conscious ness that your strength Is gradually but surely waning away. The horrors of this thought in crease as your weakness grows. It has been correctly estimated that one man In every four is afflicted with some form of vital weakness, this weakness taps the very fountain source of life. It is ever persistent, drawing continually on the resources of bodily strength, until the victim becomes a total "wreck, 'or, happily, avails himself of the CERTAIN CURE I offer. . My treatment is his only hope. It Is to me one of the most pathetic of thoughts that there are thousands of afflicted men. suffering all the ravages of weakness, who may never hear or the hope I offer In my treatment, and must therefore continue to suffer on in utter despair until the end. T"en you who know of my treatment, will you too. continue to' suffer when I offer von a positive and lasting cure? Knowing ot my treatment and the certain cure assured you In its application. It is up to you to avail yourself of it and once more enjoy the full vigor of health. $10.00 My Fee for a Cure Is . . I Will Guarantee a Cure and You Need Not Pay Until You Are Well Why Other Doctors Do Not Cure I want you to notice In particular how silent other specialists are on the subject of Men's WEAKNESS. They pass the subject over because they can offer no positive cure for it. Those who do undertake to treat it resort to powerful drugs, elastic belts or some other mechanical clap-trap, which, instead of curing, only aggravate the ailment. Nearly every day I am called upon to treat cases that other specialists or fam ily physicians have treated and failed to cure. In nearly every instance I find it necessary to first rid the patient of almost ruinous effects of the treatments they have received at the hands of unskilled medical men. But I guarantee to cure every man whose case I accept for treat ment. I make it a strict rule to treat no incurable cases, and I am always willing to wait for my fee until a cuts is effected. Ninety-nine cases In a hundred are curable. The incurable cases ar those that have been neglected or experimented upon by some incom petent doctor. Don't wait until your case is beyond hope. Come to me while a cure is certain. What Weakness Is I discovered many years ago that weakness, so called. Is merely an Inflamed and congested condition of the prostate gland; that when this important gland Is thus diseased, the result Is a tremendous loss of energy, which, sooner or later. Involves all the vital processes, weakens the heart, impairs the stomach, kidneys and liver, vitiates the digestive functions, depletes the nervous system and eventually wrecks both mind and body. As soon as I made this discovery I set to work to devise a treatment that would cure weakness and restore the system to Its former buoyancy and vital power. After years of untiring effort and a great expenditure of time and money, I perfected the successful treatment I employ today. Why My Treatment Cures There are several reasons why -my treatment never falls to cure weakness in men. The method I use i direct and positive, the medicine -being applied locally. Its effects, so administered, are almost Immedi ate, since it Is at once absorbed by the tissues, which are thus stimulat ed to healthy action, throwing off the poisonous secretions, overcom ing inflammation and congestion and clearing the blood vessels and capillaries so that they can supply nutrition to the affected region.
