ON WAY TO SOUTH
Governor-Elect Cosgrove Rests
at St. Vincent's Hospital
During Stay in City.
APPEARS VERY FEEBLE
Has to Be A-slslrd From Train to
Carriage anil Looks Worn Hope
ful, However, of Gaining
Strength in California.
Governor-elect S. G. Cosfrrove. of TVath
irurton. reached Portland yesterday morn
lnjr over the O. R. & N . a very sick man.
.After resting here all day. he was placed
aboard the Southern Pacific train at 7:45
at nleht and continued his journey. Ae
companylrir him are Mrs. Cosgrove and
Ir. and Mrs. H. R. Keylor. of Walla
Walla. Mr. I'usftrove's son. Elliott K.
CWjrrove. accompanied hia father to Port
land from Pomeroy. the home of the
Governor-elect, but returned lust nijrht,
tonnrlert that his father will stand the
trip south.
The Governor-elect looked palo and
worn yesterday. He could not carry on a
conversation without difficulty, owing- to
Ills breathlrur. He appeared to be in good
sptritn. however, considering his serious
condition, and Insisted that his friends
have exaggerated hia illnens. He main
tained he will regain his health as noon
as he a-ets down Into Southern California,
where the climate Is warmer. Mr. Cos
irrove was driven directly to St. Vincent's
Hospital yesterday morning upon his ar
rival and spent the day there resting;.
Stands Trip Well.
'The Governor Is a very sick man," said
Ir. Keylor yesterday. "He iB accomplish
ing; the trip so far very well, however,
and there seems to be every reason to be
lieve he will complefe the Journey Into
Southern California. He has great en
durance and that Is standing him in good
stead on the trip.
"We do not know Just where we shall
go. hut probably to Paso Rohles Hot
Spring. The exact location will, depend
upon the comiiWon of the Governor's
nealth wiicn he reaches California and
the section that la b"et suited to him. -
"The Governor Is CI years old. but his
strength appears to he remarkable, con
sidering that he has Just been through a
hard campaign. X consider that his great
est danger now Is that complications may
arise. His disease may be stayed a life
time, but there is always the danger that
another disease may attack him when his
hodlly vigor Is low and his constitution
least able to resist. "
His son Klllott expressed hlmfelf a
satisfied that the campaign for Governor
is responsible for his father's condition.
Worked Too Hard In Campaign.
"My father overestimated his strength."
said Mr. Cosgrove. "He has always been
very energetic and during the campaign
he did the work of three or four men.
He did not realise how hard he was
working and this brought him down.
However. 1 feel confident that when he
gets down into a warmer climate he will
he much better. He is standing the trip
In good shap and the physicians feci
confident of his return to health."
Governor-elect Cosgrove has Brlght's
disease. Although afflicted with it for
years, the work of the campaign reduced
his energy and the malady gnined. His
physician denied him to any but the most
Intimate friends who called to see him
yesterday, and an interview was' declared
to be out of the question because of the
Governor's condition. Rut on his way to
and from St. Vincent's he showed his
serious condition. His face Is lined with
marks of pain and disease and he had to
Ve assisted in making the few short steps
from his carriage to the Pullman car last
night when leaving the city. His wife
was on one side, helping him alorur. and
liis son on the other.
Ir. Keylor. however, declared that the
day s rest bad done his patient a world
of good and thnt he was in first-class con
dition for the next stase of the journey.
Jf Mr. Cosgrove shows signs of fatigue en
route, other stops will probably be made
to allow the patient to recruit his
strength.
Dr. Keylor Is confident that Mr. cos
rove wiil be able to return to Olympla
for his inauguration In January- Mrs.
Cosgrove will stay at her husband's side
until he Is able to return. Dr. Keylor
will return to Walls) Walla as soon as he
ran leave his patient in good hands in the

ABERDEEN STAYS IS LEAGUE
WILL- RAISE $27,000 TO KEEP
TEAM IV FIELD.
Grays Harbor Metropolis Enthusias
tic Member of Xorthwest Base
ball League.
ABERD3EX, "Wash., Nov. 13. (Special.)
At a largely attended meeting of base
ball enthusiasts tonight It was decided to
hold Aberdeen's franchise in the North
west League. And the assurance was
given of active and generous support. One
heretofore liberal subscriber offered to
pay four times what he did last year and
others promised likewise.
A motion to keep the team a strictly
Aberdeejt enterprise was carried and an
effort to ask Hoquiam to come in was
voted down.
It was indicated by President MacFar
Ihho that it required S27.000 to carry the
team through last year and that the defi
cit is about J270O. It will he necessary
not only to meet this deficit, but to
raise J") above the probable income
among the business men. President Mac
Farlane appointed a committee of five
to circulate a subscription list in every
section of the city and to make a re
report December 1 of the success of the
effort.
The promise of Portland's having a
team was received enthusiastically, as
well as every speech made favoring the
continuance of baseball.

general office force at First and Alder

Will Someone;. Who Knows Answer?
PORTLAND. Nov. 12. (To the Editor.)
I am Interested Just now in some pro
posed street improvements. I have been
trying to learn something of the cost and
advantages of a good macadam street,
treated with crude oil at the start. I do
not know of any street so improved here
as yet. but have been told It is done suc
cessfully in California. Macadam cer.
tainly makes a fine street at the start,
much better for horses on heavy grades,
and It would seem that the oil, prevent
ing the surface from disappearing in dust
or mud. would keep the roadbed in Ideal
condition for all purposes. If you can in
this paper give some information regard
ing the probable cost of a street so im
proved here In a central location, without
grade, for a basis to estimate on, it will
be very acceptable to others as well as
myself. ROBERT C. WRIGHT.

FRIDAY THE 13TH
DAY OF BIG JOKE
Few Things Out of Ordinary
Happen in Portland as
Result of Hoodoo.
STEAMER SAILS AS USUAL
Captain or State of California Scouts
Idea of Bad Imck Sheriff Xcar- .
ly Loses Whiskers Other Mi
nor Happenings in Town.
Friday, the 13th, famous in history
and feared in legend and superstition,
passed, locally, with no untoward
event; Instead, it was the day of the
big joke, for everyone was on the look
out for a piece of hard luck, and noth
ing happened.
Three undaunted couples made trie
Journey to the County Clerk's office
and procured marriage licenses, but
whether the ceremonies were per
formed yesterday is not known. At
any rate, the licenses will always
bear the supposed date of Ill-luck, and
if any foul weather should arise dur
ing the course of these three matri
monial voyages, there'll be a reason, if
the parties are superstitious.
Divorces were also granted, but
there Is a wide diversity of opinion as
to whether or not the date was one
of Ill-omen or the opposite. Both
plaintiffs and defendants declined to
be quoted.
There was no unusual demand at
local shops and stores for rabbits' feet,
and If any such orders were given.
It was not demanded that It be a left
or right hind foot, or the rabbit killed
in a graveyard either In the light of
a full or half moon.
Captain Nopander Xot Superstitious
Captain Nopander, of tho steamer
State of California, appears to be free
from the superstition common to sea
faring men. Captain Nopander sailed
yesterday. Friday. November 13, on the
13th voyage of his steamer, from this
port to San Francisco. Furthermore,
this is the last trip of the steamship
between Portland and San Francisco.
Captain Nopander's attention was
called to the coincidence of circum
stances, but he laughed at any signifi
cance attaching. M. J. Roche, the up
town agent of the steamer line, sug
gested that Captain Nopander should
take out some life insurance, for he
might never reach port. The steamer
sailed at 4 P. M. yesterday with a full
passenger list.
Sheriff Nearly Loses Whiskers.
The hoodoo of yesterday nearly cost
Sheriff Stevens his life; furthermore, he
nearly lost his whiskers, a fact which
made him nervous all of the afternoon.
Fortunately, he was not injured, but con
siders himself simply lucky. These are
busy days for the Sheriff, and he care
fully plans every minute so that he loses
no time anywhere. After lunching down
town, he boarded a Fifth-street car,
bound for the Courthouse. Just after
crossing Yamhill street, a fuse on the
front platform blew out, making a loud
report and sending out a . great volume
of flame in all directions. Sheriff Stevens
occupied space near the seat of trouble,
and, while he "kept his head," he nearly
lost his whiskers. However, as if by
miracle, they escaped the fire, and at the
hour of going to press, he atill wore
them.
Close call No. 2 occurred when Sheriff
Stevens leaped from the car-just opposite
the Courthouse, and started to cross the
track. A car Immediately following the
Ul-fated one from which he had Just
alighted, was coming at a swift speed,
and the Sheriff had to make a record
Jump to clear the track.
"By George." said he, as fie stopped
on the cement curbing to congratulate
himself, "this Is Friday, the 13th, and
I'm certainly going to keep shy of street
cars until midnight, anyway."
John Coffey Born on Friday, 13th.
"Do you know that this is Friday,
the 13th day of the month?" was asked
John B. Coffey, State Senator-elect.
"Why, that is a fact; and .by the way,
I was born on a Friday and on the 13th
day of the month, too, and that accounts
for it." Just what the Senator meant
is probably the hoodoo that he keeps un
der his hat, for to all outward appear
ances he is about as free from hard
luck as any man In Portland. Not only
is he a member of the next Legislature
without a Statement No. 1 tag attached
to his person, but he is the big boss, Elk
of the Portland herd and the smile ho
wears on his countenance is of the sort
that won't wear off.
Money Sticks to His Hands.
Mark Levy, of Front street, when re
minded that yesterday was Friday. No
vember 13. said. "By Jingo: that ac
counts for my experience today. I have
had money stick to my hands In spite
of my best efforts to be square with my
customers. About ten minutes ago a
man gave me a dollar to pay a bill
amounting to the enormous sum of 90
cents and would you believe it, he left
without getting his change? Now. I
verily believe that If it hadn't been Fri
day the 13th he would be hanging around
here waiting for that dime. Hard luck,
nothing. I think this Is a great day for
us Irish.
Bride Has Hard Luck.
The bride of a year, Mrs. Xettie Pick
ering Jones, spent yesterday, unluckiest
of unlucky Fridays, at the County Poor
farm. This hard luck has befallen her
notwithstanding the fact that she has
been a devoted member of the Salvation
Army, and a helper of the unfortunate.
She married a worker In the Army,
known as lif- Pickering Jones, about a
year ago, at the Salvation Army ' Hall.
They purchased a little home in Vernon
on the installment plan, but Jones proved
to be thriftless and failed to keep the
wolf from the door. Then Mrs. Jones
was attacked with paralysis and was left
In this condition by her husband, accord
ing to her story. She told her troubles
to County Relief Officer Carr, who was
convinced she needed assistance. Her
husband has not been located.
Child Is Unfortunate.
Esther Lewis, IB years old, who lives
at 625 Clackamas avenue, in Sellwood,
told Judge Gantenbein, of the Juvenile
Court, such a hard luck story yesterday
that he placed her In the care of the
Boys' and Girls" Aid Society until he can
more thoroughly investigate her case.
The girl's story was one of abuse and
desertion by her father and stepmother.
The girl said that she was beaten over
the head and scalded with hot water
until she fled to the neighbors for pro
tection. She says her mother left her a
fortune and that her stepmother and
father are seeking to take it away from
her. She has not been sent to school
regularly.
Trouble With Commission.

How to Tell Whether a Skin Affec
loa la aa Inherited Blood Disease
or Not.
Sometimes It Is hard to determine
whether a skin affection is a sign of a
blood disorder or simply a form of
eczema. Even physicians are often
puzzled In their diagnosis. . The best
way for any one afflicted Is to go to
the Skiomore Drug. Co.. or any good
druggist who handles pure drugs and
obtain 50 cents' worth of poslam. Ap
ply this, and If the itching stops at
once and the trouble Is cured in a few
days It may be set down as having
been eczema, as this is the way poslam
acts in the worst cases of eczema, and
in curing acne, herpes, blotches, tetter,
piles, salt rheum, rash, barber's and
other forms of Itch, scaly scalp, and all
surface skin affections.
Those who will write to the Emer
gency Laboratories, No. 32 West Twenty-fifth
Street, New York, can secure,
by mall free of charge, a supply suffi
cient to cure a small eczema surface
or clear a complexion overnight and
remove pimples in twenty-four hours.

Creole's guardian In the left field, had a
little touch of Friday, the 13th, yesterday
afternoon and now he is looking for the
hind foot of a cross-eyed rabbit that was
born in the dark of the moon. Bassey
wa again appointed Inspector by J. H.
Barbour, Immigration Inspector for Ore
gon. Armed with his papers, Bassey went
before United States Commissioner Can
non to be sworn In and the hoodoo took
hold. Commissioner Cannon signed his
name to the Commission and then gently
requested the ballplayer to come through
with 60 cents, which he did under protest.
Bassey took his commission and went
away. He got down to tho docks and
began looking for Chinaman who were
trying to steal Into America, when it sud
denly occurred to him to look at his
commission and he discovered it did not
bear the. seal of the United States Com
missioner. Bassey never made the circuit
of the bases any faster than he hot-footed
back to the Federal building.

FINES ARE IMPOSED
Curry County Land-Fraud Op

JAIL SENTENCE FOR SOME
Olympla Malt Extract, good for grand
ma or babr. Onl? 35-100 of 1 per cent
alcohol. Phones Maia 671, A 2467.
Kerr, Stewart, Miller and Johnson
Are lined, and Smith, Hcdderly
and Hynes Given Time Also.
Sixty Days Given for Appeal.
Judfre Wolverton yesterday morning;
passed sentence upon Er. A. H. Hed
derly. William H. Smith and Richard
Hynes, the three defendants found
guilty in connection with the attempt
of the Pacific Furniture & Lumber Com
pany to secure Oregon timber lands by
fraud. Fines and Jail sentences were
Imposed upon Dr. Hedderly, Smith and
Hynes, and fines only were imposed
upon the four other defendants, who
pleaded guilty before the trial. Those
who were fined were William T. Kerr,
J00O: Frank A. Stewart, J1000; John
It. Miller, J1000, and Ames S. Johnson,
$500. All those fined are residents of
Curry County.
Judge Wolverton, in passing sentence,
reviewed the case and said that the
scheme was a vicious one and had for
its object the defrauding of the Gov
ernment out of vast areas of timber
lands. The court fined William H.
Smith $5000 and imposed a sentence of
two years in the County Jail. Dr. Hed
derly was fined $5000 and was sen
tenced to serve a jail period of six
months, while Richard Hynes was fined
$1000 and sentenced to 90 days in jail.
Will Make Appeal.
Attorneys McLemore and Manning,
who appeared for the defendants, asked
for a stay of execution, and were
granted 60 days in which to make an
appeal. Dr. Hedderly, before sentence
was pronounced, made a statement to
the court and said that he had been
drawn into the company 'by Goodwin,
who died some time ago. He said that
representations had been made to him
concerning the holdings of the com
pany by Dr. Goodwin that he' found
upon Investigation had not been true,
and stated that no lands had come to
the company after he had joined it. A
statement in behalf of Smith was made
by Attorney Manning.
The trial and conviction of the three
defendants grew out of the attempt of
Richard D. Jones, who died before he
could be brought to trial, to defraud
the Government out of over 30,000 acres
of timber lands in Curry County. The
Pacific r urnlture & Lumber Company
was organized In Los Angeles, and the
scheme was to sell stock In the com
pany and then have the purchaser of
the stock come to Oregon and take up
timber claims.
The money to make the filing and for
the payment at the time of final proof
was to be furnished by the company.
Perhaps the scheme would have worked
out, but money ran short and some of
the employes of the company began to
talk. The matter was finally brought
