FOR SEPTE
Portland Leads Puget Sound
by 500,000 Bushels
of Grain.
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

Annual Report on Losses.
The annual report of the Plnkerton
Detective Agency to the American Bank

burglary, but the robbers got nothing for
their pains. This occurred on April .
No other Oregon bank has been attacked

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

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-

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.

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.
