FRENCH BARK GETS AWAY Crnrral Faidherbe Carries Full Cargo or Wheat to Inlted King dom for Orders Third Grain Carrier for the Month. The third grain cariro for the United Kingdom or Orient, cleared yesterday. The craft wan the General Kaidherbe and she carried 111.13 bushels of wheat, valued at $100,610. The vessel in bound for Queenstown or Falmouth for orders and will leave down this afternoon. drain exports, foreign, for the month of November are slow. The General Kaidherbe Is the second wheat ship to get away. She is the third grain carrier. Foreign cereal business opened on November !. when the regular line steamship Nicomedia cleared for Hongkong and way ports with ai.090 barrels of flour. Five days later the British ship Wynnstay. cleared with 90.377 bushels of wheat for the I'nited Kingdom. There was a lapse of four days before another ship got away. The total shipments amount to 435. 965 bushels (reducing flour to a wheat basis.) This is short of the business of October and less by a big margin than the amount set afloat during the corresponding period of last year. The season of 190S-9 Is now far ad vanced and wheat exports will not be record breakers for any month from now on. There Is loss wheat for ex port and the amount of tonnage en route Is less by 1-6.000 tons than at the same time last year. The condi tion of the English market la largely responsible for the small exports at the present time. BATE TO HOXGKO.VG IS CUT Flour Will He Carried on Same Tar iff as to Japan. Hongkong has been placed on ' the same basis as Japanese ports so far as the rate on flour is concerned. At a meeting of representatives of the trans-Pacific steamship companies, held In Seattle Tuesday, it was decided to reduce the rate between Pacific Coast Ports and Hongkong to 93 a ton (short.) This is the same rate that has been In effect between Puget : Bound and Portland and Japanese ports for several months. The Jap anese rate will remain as before. Sound agents grew alarmed on ac count of the heavy flour exports from Portland and In a desire to regain a . portion of the business proposed the reduction in the Hongkong rate. This will have no effect on the amount of stuff sent foreign from this port as the Portland A Asiatic Steam ship Company will stand by the rate set by the agents in conclave at Seat- ' tie. The companies which are parties to the traffic arrangement are: Cana dian Pacific. Nippon Yusen Kaisha. Portland & Asiatic Steamship Cora- . pany. China Mutual. Ocean Steamship Company and Great iorthern Steam ship Company. Vessels operated by Andrew Wler will accept the same ' rate. XEBRASKAX REACirjGS PORT American-Hawaiian Vessel Brings Shipment of Artificial Flowers. The steamship Nebraskan. of the American-Hawaiian line, entered at the Customs House yesterday. The manifest shows 277 packages of gen eral merchandise for this port, a large portion of which Is artificial flowers. The Nebraskan entered from Salinas Cruz, but she stopped at San Diego to discharge a small amount of gen eral freight hilled for that place. The entry of artificial flowers is practically an experiment but if it turns out well a good business may develop. The Nebraskan sailed from the Mex ican port October 29 and made a good run up the coast. Fine weather was experienced the entire way. Tacoma Waterfront News. TACOMA. Nov. 11.

They didn't know he had already been arrested. "On Sunday night." Miss Bicher said, "he called at our home and began raising a disturbance. I told htm to leave. He said he wouldn't, and I told him he had no right there, since mam ma had secured a divorce. Then he got mad and said he'd get a revolver with in the next two days and kill us both. We are afraid he may try to do some thing desperate, although he doesn't own a revolver." "He was arrested on the East Side last night with a loaded revolver In his pocket." Mr. Hennessy told the women. Both women turned pale and became thoroughly excited. "Then he must have been -on his way to make good the threat," Mrs. Bicher said. "fl is evident that you've had a mighty close call," the prosecuting officer said. The charge of carrying a concealed weapon was promptly altered to one of threatening to kill and Bicher will have to face the charge today. He is a whipping-post graduate and a wife beater with a long record. BANKS IN STRAUS' PLACE Postmaster Natives Sew Cashier of Finance Department of Office. Charles A. Straus, ex-cashier of the finance department of the local post office, who on Tuesday was held to await the action of the Federal grand. Jury on a charge of embeaxlement, was yesterday formally dtamtssed from the Government's service. The removal of Straus was ordered by the Department at Washington, and was based upon a letter sent to the Department by the local postal inspectors who investigated and discovered the shortage charged against Strnus. Postmaster Minto received the let ter November 3. but did not notify Straus of his dismissal until after lnited States Commissioner Cannon had rendered his decision holding Straus to the grand Jury. Straus was notified yesterday morning and Post master Minto then appointed Z. T. Banks In hjs place.

M. next Mon- t ' Mayor Lane's veto of the Rushllgjit amendment to the Cellars anti-women-Ur 1 saloons ordinance was sustained by title City Council yesterday morning, the vrte being 8 to 7. The ballot was the saime as on the original passage of the amei id ment, except that Counottaien Cottel md Concannon switched and voted with the Cellars wing. Mr. Concannon said he deemed it his duty to throw his influence against pitfalls for the young men and women of the city, and that he bellt-ved the Cellars law to be the best means of protection in this regard. Councilman Rushlight was plainly chagrined at the result, and announced later that he will prove to the peojle of Portland, in due time, that the Ojllars law Is unconstitutional, unjust and that it falls far short of its avowed crbject. He declared that he will show thtat his position is right: that he does not want women in saloons, and that he wllj never cease activity until he secures thi pass age of a law that will keep thei;.i from all saloons and restaurants or permit them In all such places. Vote Taken Without Discussion. The vote on the veto was the fli st thing taken up at the morning session of the Council, and the ballot was tak en with out any comment whatever on tta e part of any Councilmen, except Mr. Cf.ncannon. The Cellars ordinance now stands as originally passed, and bars women from all saloons and from all restau ants serv ing liquor with meals, except tfiose which have "open and public dining-! ooms, con taining not less than 400 squve feet of floor space." It requires that all blinds, obstacles to a complete view a f the room and all alcoves, boxes and all kinds of fixtures that cut off the via w shall be removed. As It now stands, women are also forbidden to enter fa mily liquor stores, even where bottled floods alone are sold. During the afternoon sess on. Council man Annand Introduced an ordinance, the terms of which extended the time of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company on lis Fourth-street line throu :h the center of the city until May 1, 1910. This called forth from Councilman ' Vaughn a vigcrous protest, and he to ok advantage of his prerogative to object to final pass age on the first presentation of the pro posed measure. It was thei -efore referred to the committee on health and police for consideration. The compan y is forced to suspend operation of steam locomotives on this line at 12 o'cloci tonight, ac cording to the terms oil an ordinance passed 18 months ago, and. fit may be that Mayor Lane will use the Jmllce power of the city to enforce the Iiw. Promises to Remoie Trains. ' A letter from J. P. (ViBrien, general manager of. the Harrlman lines in thia territory was read, declaring that the company Intended to get off of the street in another 18 months- time. Mr. Vaughn strenuously objected to this, and said that if the line is to be 0 perated after to day, the company mu t pay the city something for the use o; the street. The Council passed an. ordinance which materially affects the Iiuilding law and which was opposed by Jluilding Inspector .Dobson. It gives the l ight to construct brick buildings with tho first three stories of 13-inch and the otbo r stories of eight Inch walls. The present law requires 17 inch for the first threo and 12 or 13-inch walls for the other stories. This is in the district outside th. Are limits. Those voting for the thinner walls were An nand. Baker, Cottel. Driscoll, DunnlngL Kellaher, Menefee, llushllght,. Vaughn, Wallace. Wilis; opposed, Bennett Cellars. "There is no city hi America, which al lows this kind of construction." said Mr. Dobson. "I advise a gainst it, but if it is passed, one thing is tnertain Portland will have something real; unique." Mr. Dobson said later that, in his opinion, there will b. very few such build ings erected, as mfiny of the architects are opposed to the thin walls. Fire Chief Campbell is also strongly opposed to the thinner walls allot ed by the ordinance, and it would not I e surprising if Mayor Lane vetoes it. Declines to t Revoke License. The Council d clined to revoke the license of the Sailors' Shipping Commis sion, located at If .1 Burnslde street. Ttie recommendation f the license committee was to revoke, but Lawyer George S. Shepherd appeaned and put up such a strong argument in favor of further in vestigation that the matter was referred to a committee ffor consideration. The Council passed an ordinance, authorizing the sale of J265.O0O worth of street improvem'ent bonds, one of the largest lots yet to be offered. A resolution. , Introduced by Mr. Kella her. Instructed the City Attorney to render an oplnf on on the question as to whether the CJ ty Council and Mayor, or the Mayor and. Executive Board have any legal right to grant a franchise to any private fire-als rm company to attach its wires to the n mnlrlpal system. Once more .he Council referred to the committee on health and police -the mat ter of streetel tr fenders. This matter has as yet been under consideration only four years, and tl te Council has not as yet been able to 1 ix upon any special make of fender to be jrdered placed on the trolley lines of the city. The present delay is said to be due to the fact that the in vestigators .re awaiting a report of ex tensive tests recently made in the East.

WILL OPEN NEW RAILROAD HAKRIMAX OFFICIALS LEAVE FOR ENTERPRISE. Banquet Tonight Will Celebrate Completion of Line That Will Tap "Wallowa County. Nearly all the general officials sf the Harriman lines In the Northwest left last night for Enterprise, to attend a banquet and reception tendered by the Commercial Club of that city in celebra tion of the completion and dedication of the road Into Wallowa CJounty. At the head of the party that left Portland was Vice-President and General Manager O'Brien, and with him were General At torney Cotton, General Passenger Agent McMurray.

This work is now in progress but will not be completed for 15 days. Trains will then run over the new line. Asked as to the possibilities of the new country opened up by the extension of the lines into Wallowa County, Mr. O'Brien said, yesterday: "Heretofore this country has been re mote from transcontinental connection and has been reached only by stage lines. It has been an isolated country, and it has been given up to grazing. It has great possibilities. The lowlands are too rich for grain, but they are suited for the wealthier crop of alfalfa. Two or three crops a year of alfalfa can be pro duced on these lands, and alfalfa gives a great return to the producer. Grain may be sown on the hillsides and there will be a good yield. the soil is very productive." WILL HI'S XO LOCAL TRAINS New Road Will Not Have Portland Vancouver Service.

EVER YOUNG AND EVER FAIR From the Davenport Democrat. The preservation of female beauty and Its enchantments by the use of harmless cosmetics, are duties the la dles owe to themselves and to those who value their personal charms as they appreciate their moral qualities. Unfortunately unprincipled parties too frequently take advantage of the nat ural desire to be ever young and ever fair, and palm upon the market dele terious acid and mineral poisons which Impart a momentary lustre at the risk of future sallowness and ruined health. In the Oriental Cream prepared by Dr. T. Felix Gouraud. of New York City, the ladies have a harmless preparation for preserving the delicacy of the com plexion and obliterating blemishes, which has become the favorite toilet article of the leading professional ar tists, who owe so much of their popu larity to their personal charms. Scarcely a star dressing room In opera or theater throughout our land is without the Oriental Cream. It stands today the most harmless and perfect beautifier known. a . ' Anti-Brewery Measure Fails.

WEAK MEN Quietly and Permanently Cured . Lrft a man with a chronic disorder go to ten different doctors, and he Is more likely to get ten different opinions than five that are alike. And If five doctors did agree on a diagnosis, each one would be sure to offer a prescription dif ferent from the other four. There are some two thousand diseases in the list of what are nowi as "chronic" ailments, and probubly twenty thousand symptoms either direct or remote. .They range all the way from falling of the hair to pains in the toe, and the average doctor is sup posed to know them all, or at least seldom re fusts to treat them if he can get pay for his services. He may be conscientious in his desire to help the sufferer, but In undertaking so large a task he is more likely to fall- ten times than cure once. And he cannot, without injuring a patient's confidence in his ability, ' recommend the services of a specialist Instead of his own.
