To date, however, the season is far In advance of the year ending June 30. 1908. Chartering hns been slow during No vember and will continue in that man ner ns long as the wheat market In London and Liverpool continues to hold up. December will see a larger number of vessels In port but the exports will not amount to a record breaker. During November three of the regu lar line steamships cleared for Asiatic ports with flour. The Alesla. one of these, carried a full cargo for Vladl stok. Siberia. The total flour ship ments amounted to 150.108 barrels, equivalent to 675.4XS bushels of wheat, all of which cleared on the three vessels of the Portland and Asiatic fleet.

CONCESSION TO PORTLAND Will Be Attached to Regular Train Leaving Here' at 8:30 A. M. Bring Harbor Cities Half-Hour Closer Than to Seattle. Through negotiations carried on by the Chamber of Commerce with the Northern Pacific, improved facilities for Portland merchants to do business in the Grays Harbor territory have been ar ranged. , A through coach to Grays Har bor will be provided by the Northern Pacific from Portland daily within the next two or three weeks or just as soon as trie new bridges of the Spokane, Portland & Seattle across the Columbia and Willamette rivers and the road down the north bank of the Lower Columbia are used by the Northern Pacific trains. The new service will be much appre ciated by the business men of this city. Leaving Portland dally at 8:30 A. M.. commercial men and. others desiring to transact business in the Grays Harbor territory will not need to change cars, but will be carrried through to destina tion on the Grays Harbor branch. Fur thermore, the train leaving Portland at 8:30 will bring. Portland half, an hour nearer to Grays Harbor than the train from Seattle. A. D. Charlton, assistant general pas senger agent for the Northern Pacific, made known the betterment in the Grays Harbor service in a letter to President C. F. Swigert,- of the Chamber of Commerce, j-esterday. Mr. Charlton advised Mr. Swigert of the change de cided upon, which came as the result of the negotiations that have been carried on by the commercial organization for some time past. In his letter Mr. Charl ton said: I sincerely trust this will adjust the matter satisfactorily. We are always desirous -of meeting the wishes, of the merchants In such matters and if at any time we can better the service, we would be glad to hear the views of Portland business men." Portland's commercial interests In the Grays Harbor country have always been extensive. Although located in the State of Washington, that district has always traded largely with Portland job bers. Portland's facilities for handling the commerce of thut territory have commended the goods of local merchants and there Is every prospect that this trade will continue to grow In future. By the new arrangement Just decided upon, it is regarded as certain that closer relations will be built up with Grays Harbor. President Clarke Returns. President Francis B. Clarke, of the Spo kane. Portland & Seattle Railway, re turned yesterday from St. Paul, where he was in conference with the heads of the Hill system in regard to the future pol icy of the new road. Traffic matters re garding the routing of freight from, the Eust to the Northwest terminals were the principal matters discussed. w Traveling Agent Named. W. A. Seachreut, North Pacific Coast agent for the New York Central lines, has added a new traveling agent to his staff. R. R. Toome, formerly with the Vanderbilt lines at Dallas, Tex., has been appointed traveling passenger agent, with headquarters at Portland. He will take up his new duties at once.

The Supreme Court of our state held at that time that the city did not have authority to buy it unless It paid for it or levied ment to pay for It at once. This t!e l Council did not wlsa to do, and up-gently PUG CUD requested the old bridge committee to take It and pay for it, wmcn a. majority vi uui committee voted to do; but our committee could not fix the rate for streetcar cross ing that particular bridge, because the City Council had entered into a contract whereby the streetcar company had a right to cross on that bridge for 20 years at $150 per month. W here I wish to correct your statement is thi3: Where we had the absolute and first right to fix the rate lor cars crossing the Burnslde-street bridge we did so, and fixed It at 14 cents each car per round trip. 1 know whereof I speak, on behalf of the old bridge committee, for I wrote the reso lution, and it was adopted and enforced all the time we were in charge of the bridge. Now. if this rate had been maintained, as it ought to have been, this bridge would now be earning a revenue for the city of about $'io,0"0 to $30,000 per year. In conclusion I wish to say that the old committee built the Burnside bridge and the Albtna ferry and paid for the Madison-street bridge, all on a bond issue of $r,0.OOu; and 1 think they are entitled to credit rather than any reflection that a mistake was made on their part in the first place in the matter of tolls sufficient to operate the bridge and keep it In "-repair, and help pay the interest on the bonded indebtedness, for that was their desire and Intention. As before stated, had that reso lution been strictly adhered to during all the past years the bridge would have been earning a handsome revenue to the city. T. W. PITTEN'GER. This attempt at criticism misses tlie whole point of The Oregonian's state ment. There was no allusion to tha bridge committee or to purchase of bridges, or to streetcars or rates to be charged them. " The remark simply was that it was a mistake not to have placed tolls on the bridges at first for all traf fic. It was the free bridge policy that was referred to, which The Oregonlan believes, and believed at the time, was an error, and said so. It may be hoped Mr. Pittenger now can understand. FOLDER TO ADVERTISE SHOW ATTRACTIONS OP ROSE FESTI VAL TO BE SENT EAST. Union Paciifc Asks for Pictures and Matter to Be Used in Illus trated Booklet. Perhaps ihe most notable recognition of the Portland Rose Festival as an affair of National importance, came yesterday, when advices were received by the Festi val management direct from E. L. Iximax, general passenger agent of the Union Pacific, in which he requested the preparation of reading matter with Illus trations In color lor a 2-i-page railroad folder to be distributed at every Harri man system office in the country. The Instructions from Mr. Lomax were explicit. He asked for a complete set of photographs covering rose gardens and picturesque scenes in Portland, types of floral floats used in the last Festival parades, and views of the street pageants that might be available for use in the new folder. He informed the Festival managers that a considerable portion of the booklet would be devoted to illustra tive features, and that the reading mat ter In connection therewith should not be confined entirely to a history of the great annual demonstration of "roses" but should embrace such other informa tion as might prove attractive to the traveling public in the East which will be likely to take advantage of the special low tourist rates to be effective on and after May 25. 1909, in ample time to bring the Rose Festival in the Itinerary of the westbound pleasure-seekers. The Rose Festival folder is to be one of a series of illuminative pamphlets is sued from the Union Pacific offices at Omaha. One will deal with the far famed National Corn Exposition to be held at Omaha, another will be devoted to the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition at Seattle and the Portland Festival folder will be gotten out on just as attractive lines and with a view to using it In con nection with the advertising literature for the Seattle Exposition. General Passenger Agent William Mc Murray, for the Harrlman affiliated lines in .this territory, is chiefly responsible for securing this important concession from the headquarters of the Harrlman system. It will be remembered that Mr. McMur ray was the chairman of the publicity and exploitation committee of the Rose Festival Association last year, and did most effective work in advertising the affair through the many channels at his command. To secure such recognition from such sources causes gratification on the part of the officials of the Rose Festival, for they declare that this will give tne ceieora tion a breadth of cdvertislng which could not in the ordinary way be bought for fns- of thousands of dollars, taking into onsideration the standing which in of nnhllcitv matter will give Port land's next annual feast-of flowers.

There is a. disease prevailing in this country most dan gerous because so decep tive, iuanysuauen i deaths are caused by it heart dis ease, pneumonia, heart failure or apoplexy are often the result of kid ney disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to advance the kidney-poi son ed blood will at tack the vital organs, causing catarrh of the bladder, or the kidneys themselves break down and waste away cell Dy cell. Bladder troubles almost always result from a derangement of the kidneys and a cure is obtained quickest by a proper treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel ing badly you can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, and over comes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often through the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is sold .by all druggists in fifty-cent and one-dollar size bottles. You may have a sample bottle of this wonderful new dis covery and a book that tells all about it, both sent free by mail. Address, Dr. Kil mer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y.
