Total grain shipments, foreign, from
Portland for the month of November
amount to more than 1.500,000 bushels.
This is reducing the flour to a wheat
basis and adding barley. Of the latter
there were two full cargoes, both of
which were cleared for the I'nlted
Kingdom for orders. Flour experts
consisted of three cargoes for Chinese,
Siberian and Japanese ports. Wheat
formed the largest Item lind amounted
to 7"1.070 bushels. All wheat was
cleared for the United Kingdom for or
ders. Foreign shipping was far less dur
ing the month Just closed than during
the same time last season. 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.
Two full cargoes of barley got away
during the month. The first was car
ried on the Norwegian ship Asgerd
and t he second on the British ship
Brodick Castle. Barley exports have
been fairly good during the season.
November holds the record for barley
shipments so far this season.
Foreign grain shipments from Pu
get Sound for November are far be
hind those of the Columbia River. The
wheat exports from that section, ac
cording to the figiires compiled by the
Merchants Exchange, are 610.595 bush
els and the flour. 71.3S8 barrels. Port
land heats the combined ports of Pu

of flour, (two full cargoes-).

shipments to California of wheat and
flour. During the inonth. were dis

following figures, flour being reduced
to a wheat basis: .
Total from Portland 1.714.!2 bushels.
Total from Pugct Sound 1.2H5.90J

The grand totai of Northwest ship

Northern Pacific Will Put on
Coach to Grays Harbor.
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.

Madison-street brlde: that Is, as to the
latter named bridge, took It off the city
hands The City Council had bought It
some months prior to this. 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.

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. When
writing mention reading this generous
offer in this paper. Don't make any
mistake, but remember the name, Swamp
Root, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and the
address, Binghamton, K. Y., on every
bottle.
