TRADE DOORS OPEN Barrett Sees Portland's Chance in South America. TALKS TO BUSINESS MEN Importance of City's Harbor and Various Channels for Ocean Com merce Text of Address at Commercial Club. John Barrett. ex-Minister to Slam, and Director-General of the Interna tional Bureau of the American Repub lics, was the attraction at the Commer cial Club yesterday, and a large audi ence of members and their friends gathered In the green parlor Immedi ately following- luncheon to listen to an address he had prepared on the "Opportunities for Oregon in the Pa cific.' . He was carefully listened to by those present, and his remarks were fre quently applauded. At the conclusion of his address, a vote of thanks was tendered him, and a motion was made by T. B. Wilcox that Portland not only join In the movement now under way for holding a Pan-American Pacific Commercial Conference on this Coast, pot later than 1910. but that an effort be made to secure this meeting for Portland, the home of Air. Barrett, the Director of the Bureau of Latin-American Republics. President C.W. Hodaon presided at yesterday's meeting, and Introduced the speaker. Mr. Barrett said in part: Four Points Brouflit Out. There are four Important points bearins directly on the future of Portland which it la my pleasure, as an International officer and ac a citizen of Oregon, to bring to your attention thin afternoon. First Tf Portland would become a truly Freat city it must tako full ad van tape of Its present location to become a great port. While' local and inland commerce and con nections are of ftnp.t const deration in bu tid ing up Portland, foreign and water trade are absolutely eential to a city situated close to the seaboard if it would obttiin world-recognized and International promi nence and posit ton. Pressing clnoely on the movement for more railways and good roads in Oregon must always be the effort to ob tain trie Improvement of the Columbia and A illamette rivers and make the port of Portland a harbor for the shipping of the world. If there are Port landers and Oregonlene who are ekeptlcal on this point, thev should travel not only in Europe, but in South America and Aiia and see the extraordinary efforts that cities located much further in land on rlvens are exerting to make them selves accessible to international shipping. The commerce of the Pacific Ocean is only yet in its infancy, but now is the time to be preparing for future development. The commercial organizations and business men of Oregon should leave no stone unturned in co-operating w 1th their Senators and Con gressmen at Washington to secure appro priation for a channel from the sea to Port land which would not only provide for proper depth, but for the permanent maintenance thereof. What Portland and Oregon have al ready done In thin rpppect i splendidly to their credit, but there must be no letting up In the agitation and achievement, if Port land would become a world city. Great Opportunities In South. Second If Oregon and the entire Pacific Coast, with thir 15uO miles of coast line and their S.of-o.OOO of population, intend to capture their hare of the commerce of the Pacific Ocean, they must not only look to the possibilities of commercial exchange with Japan. China and the Philippines on the West, but to the CCOO mliea of coart line and the IfO.uoo.niiu of population on the west eide of Central and South America. Here tofore we have been looking only In a hori zontal line, and thinking that Pacific trade means solely the markets of Aala. We must change our point of view artd remember that we should look also in a perpendicular or oblique direction to the south and realize what a vac fleid opens there for our oppor tunity and effort. If the Orient seema nearer in our thoughts it 1 no nearer In miles th3n a large pro portion of the Central and South American coast line. In the same time that steamers can go from Portland to Hongkong and Mnniia they can easily reach Valparaiso, in Chile, and even Punta Arenas, at the south ernmost end of South America. While we mum not for a moment decry the Importance of bullolng up our trade with the Far East, and while we should give full credit to Japan for her magnlllcent progress, to China fnr her latent potentialities .and to the Phll Ippinei for their evolution into an enterpris ing community, I would be unmindful of my reaponHhllities as the hear! of an Institu tion devoted to the development of com merce end friendship between the United Statea and Its sister nations, and to my loyalty to Oregon, if 1 dirt not urge you most most emphatically to take steps to get into cloeer touch with the 12 ambitious Southern republics bordering on the Pact flu Ocean. Comparison with the Orient. Acknowledging the value of our trade with Japan and China, let us bear in mind that their foreign commerce with all the world and with a population respectively of 40. Imh).0o0 and 3rt.o,.fUoo. amounted last year to approxmtate'y SWon.OOO.OlH) each. In com parUon with this let w note that the 12 Pacific Central and South American repub lic, having a population of 2,00o.t00, con ducted in the year 1U07 a foreign trade, with the rest of the world, valued at ft.V..ooi.00. If they can do thts in the very Infancy of their development, their commerce is sure to grow to l,uo,iMi0.ioo or even 2,000,W)0.000 in the next 10 or 2 years. In these countries we are not confronted with problems of competition, whlen now face our trade in the Far East. Kor a long period they must be groat purchasers of our manufactured and agricultural products. The verv fact ttmt the trade of our Pacific Coast with them Is eo email 1h the exact reaon why we should get better acquainted with them. Alreadv they conduct, out of their total commerce. business of $200,000,000 with the United States, but this la almost entirelv with our Atlantic and Gulf ports. A careful jtudy of their Import and ex ports shows that a much larger proportion could be conducted with Portland, Seattle and San Francuwro than now. Third Closer acquaintance and fr!endshlp between two factions of the world can only be brought about by favorable conditions of communication. If we want to build up our ti-ade w 1th our Latin-American neighbors, we must make it easy, convenient and com fortable for their business men, their trav elers and their tourisie to come up here and for ours to go down there. Without in any war discussing the much-mooted question of so-called 'subsidies.' the fact remains that It is Just a? necessary for the promotion of trade that we should have faet mall, passen- A Simple Test Which Any Reader of This Paper May Try Do vou know whether you are in clined to, or have kidney trouble? Have you ever tried the simple test of setting aside your urine in a bottle or vessel for twenty-four hours? A sediment or settling In the urine indicates a diseased condition. Science hns today furnished proofs that all the purifying that your blood needs: In fact, all that can be done, must be done by your kidneys. They are the most important organs, because they filter and purify the blood. The kidneys strain or filter out the impurities in the blood that is their work. When your blood is impure, nothing can purify it but your kidneys. To overcome these troubles take Dr. Kilmer's Swamp - Root, the world famous kidney remedy. In taking Swamp-Root you afford natural help to Nature, for Swamp-Root is the most perfect healer and gentle aid to the kidneys that has yet been discovered. If you mention our paper and write Dr. Kilmer & Co., Blnghamton, N. Y., for a sample bottle, they will send it free by mall it will convince any one. You will also receive a booklet of valu able information, telling all about the kidneys. ger and express steamer on the high seas as we should have fast mail, passenger and express railroad -trains on land. Jut as any great city In the United States could never become a large commercial entrepot If it depended on freight trains to carry Its malls, passengers and express, so. in the same way, our Pacific Coast porta can never ret Into intimate aesoclation with our South ern neighbors If we are dependent merely on slow-going freight-carriers for communica tion. Refers to Mall Service. If the onlv way that we can get vessels of thui kind Is by the United States paying a good price for carrying the mails, that price must be paid, Juet as any man would pay a good wage to an employe to get good work done well and rapidly. Just as skilled labor demands a higher wage than ordinary labor. So a larger sum mikt be paid for carrying the malls rapidly in fast boats than would be given to ordinary slow-going Boats. Let us get beyond the question or Issue of the meaning of the word subsidy and make a reat-onable expenditure for carrying the malls. Just as we have extended the rural delivery into the Interior of the country and Just as we provide for fast mail tralne on land. When this Is done there will be started a powerful influence for the extension of Pan American commerce. Fourth I want to urge upon the commer cial organizations and business interests of Portland and Oregon to co-operate with those of California and Washington In car rying out a plan tor- holding a Pan-American Pacific commercial conference on this Coast in the year ltw9, or. at the latest, in 1910. To this Mhouid be Invited representative of fhe prtncipal commercial organizations in the 12 Pacific countries of Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras. Salvador, Nicaragua. Costa Rica. Panama. Colombia, Ecuador. Peru. Bolivia and Chile. The presence among us of 100 or more representative men of that part of the world at such a gathering, the careful exchange of views and opinions with them, and the vlelting by them of our cities and Interior of each one of the three Coast States, w ould inaugurate the flif t and most impor tant e-iep in bringing about mutual ac quaintance. These men would go back with new ideas of our section. They would learn what they could buy from us and sell to us. and. in turn, they would' surely invite ua to send a corresponding delegation to their countries.: The advantage of euch inter c range of ideas and visits cannot be over estimated, especially in view of the present Ignorance. In conclusion, let me Invite the business men of Portiand to make use of the Inter national Bureau of American Republics, at Washington, U. C, for the purpose of obtain ing fuil and complete information about these countries, and In co-operating with them' for the advancement of 1'an-American commerce and friendship. LflFFERTY IS EXONERATED CHARGES BROUGHT AGAIXST HIM ARE DISMISSED. Accused of Defending Cases In Which He Had Been Interested. Vindicated by Land Office. Charges brought against A. TV. Laf ferty, a well-known Portland attorney, by special agents of the Interior De partment last April, who sought to dis bar blm from practicing further in land cases before the department, have been dismissed, resulting in a complete vindication for the young atorney. An order was received by Mr. Lafferty yes terday from the Commissioner of the General Land Office ordering the rule for Mr. Lafferty to show cause why he should not be disbarred to be. dis missed. It was charged that Attorney Laf ferty was defending cases in the Land Department in which he was interested when special agent for the Interior Department. That such was not the case was conclusively proved by Mr. Lafferty In his answer, which was very voluminous, containing about 2700 pages. This gave exact copies of all cases in which Attorney Lafferty had appeared before the land offices of this state and proved that he was not con nected with any one of them while in the employ of the Government as spe cial agent. This answer was filed last Swollen gland3 about the neck, weak eyes, pale, waxy complexions, running sores and ulcers, skin diseases, and general poor health, are the usual ways ia which Scrofula is manifested. The disease being deeply intrenched in the blood often attacks the bones, resulting ia White Swelling, or hip disease, and the scrofulous and tubercular matter so thoroughly destroys the healthful properties of the blood that Scrofula sometimes terminates in consumption, aa incurable disease. The entire circulation being contaminated, the only way to cure the trouble is to thoroughly purify the blood and restore the circulation to a strong, healthy state. S. S. S. is the very best treatment for Scrofula ; it renovates the entire blood supply and drives out the scrofulous and tubercular deposits. S. S. S. is the greatest of all blood purifiers, and it not only goes right down to the very bottom of the trouble and removes the cause, but it supplies the weak, diseased blood with the healthful properties it is in need of, and in this way builds up weak, frail, scrofulous persons and makes them strong and healthy. S. S. S. is a gentle, safe, vegetable preparation and is suited for persons of any age. Book on the blood containing information about Scrofula and any medical advice free.

Consid er these things,' and then . come and consult me in regard to your case. Stricture Surgery is not only harsh, pain ful and dangerous, but is entirely unnecessary in the treatment of stricture. I employ a painless method by which the obstructing tissue is dissolved and all the membranes of the organs involved thoroughly cleansed and restored to a healthy state. Contracted Diseases Be sure your cure Is thorough. Not one of my patients has ever had a relapse after being dis charged as cured, and I cure in less time than the ordinary forms of treatment require. , . Varicocele Many who are but slightly af flicted with varicocele believe that the trouble Is of little consequence. The opposite Is true. Varicocele is a disease of a progressive na ture.

The pall of smoke Is so thick that it is difficult to see. DR. TAYLOR, The Leading Specialist. My Guarantee Is: PAY ME AFTER I CURE YOU "Weakness" I am confident that I have, cured more cases of so-called "weakness" than any other physician. There may be doctors in the large East ern cities who have TREATED more cases than I. but they cling to the old and ineffective practice of dosing with tonics.
