Tugboat Servlee Knoineer.
At n special maptlns yesterday the
Tort of Portland Commliislor! passed a
resolution dlrertfnK Chief Engineer J.
K. "C. Lockwood to prepare plans for bar
tufra. and also one for the appointment
of a committee to look into the adapt
ability of my tug ofTered for use on
the Columbia River bar. v President
Swlgert will announce the personiul
ot that committee at the next meeting
of the Commission.
Engineer Lockwood's report, which
was presented at the special meeting
yesterday, prompted th resolution
which was moved by Mr. Adams. The
meeting was called to consider the im
portant questions of bar and river
pilotage, authority over which has been
granted to the Port of Portland by the
recent decision handed down by the
Pupreme Court relative to the powers of
the Commission.
In his report Engineer Lockwood lee
ommends the use of two first-class steel
lugs, liO feet long. 26 feet beam' and
3fi feet depth of hold, to be equipped
with Scotch marine boilers, triple ex
pansion engines and up-to-date towing
machines: one steel-tug 120 feet long.
22'4 feet beam and IS feet depth of hold,
equipped as the other two. and one
steel-hull stern-wheel tug, for service
on the river. The latter craft Is to be
J 95 feet long. 42 feet beam and 9 feet
depth of hold. The stern-wheel vessel
Is to be equipped with cross cpmpound
engines. Jirebox boilf.rs and surface
condensers.
The recommendations of Chief Engi
neer Lockwood were made after that
official had made a careful study of the
conditions on the bar and on the Co
lumbia Rivpr. Mr. Lockwood mxde a
number of trips to Astoria. Puget Sound
and Eastern cities, and in each place
made a study of tlw methods employed
In handling the shipping. He referred
particularly to the compulsory pilotage
law of Oregon and strongly urged the
repeat of the law at the next session of
the Legislature. In his report Mr. Lock
wood says:
Pilotage on Puget Sound.
""Pugei Pound, our principal compet
itor, docs not have a compulsory pilot
age law and It gives that port a great
and unfair advantage in having us han
dicapped by a charge of 1100 to $400
on every vessel coming Into this poru It
is true that t.he O. R. & N. Co. lias ab
sorbed this charge on such vessels as
were handled by their towboats. but
we should not be forced to do this an
possibly pay ont money raised from
taxes, for the benefit of bar pilots. The
compulsory pilotage law is further un
necessary, as we will maintain an ef
ficient pilotage service In any event 'or
the good of the port."
Towage service between Portland and
the sea Is different from that In any
other port. The rough water on the
lip.r and the long river tow require two
distinct classes of tugs. At present the
bar pilots maintain a schooner and have
an arrangement with the O. R. N. Co.,
whereby t.iey proceed to sea anil re
turn at certain times on the tugs. Mr.
Lockwood proposes to do away with
the schooner and to provide suitable
apartments on the fugs .to accommodate
the pilots and tn have a boat outside
nt all times, in cj of excess business
for the river boat, he advises the char
tering of outside craft.
Members of the Commission carefully
considered each part of tiie report and
the motion by Mr. Adams resulted. That
member th'n movd to order the clerk
to advertise for tin; Immediate snle of
bonds in the sum of s'iO.000. returnable
July 1: 190?. Th recond motion eir
ried. The Port of Portland has power
to Issue bonds in the sum of $130,010,
, and the expense "t providing suitable
craft to handle the business, as esti
mated by Mr. Lockwood. will be
jnr.o.ooo.
Question or Ilange. Lights.
Considerable discission was Indulged'
in regarding the placing of range
lights at Double Bower and LaUu's
landings. A dolphin was driven by the
Port of Portland at the latter place, but
no light established, owing to an ob
jection tiled bv the pilots. Mr. Lock
wood maintained that the lights estab
lished and maintained by the Govern
ment should murk the center line of the
dredged channel.
Captain A. 1', Pease argued tht
rane lights should so be placed ad to
lie visible at point above or below, in
order to give the pilot opportunity to
tell whether both lights were burning
before reaching the tnrnlivg point. It
was finally agreed to leave the matter
to the Lighthouse Inspector and the
pilots. r

Gantenbein Tells "Wild Indians"
That Blank Cartridges Are Bad.
With a short talk, in" fatherly fashion,
upon the killing power of blank cart
ridges, to the leaders of the "Chipmunk '
gang and "Sitting Bull" crowd of boys,
who have been playing wild Indian in
the woods between South aount Tabor
and Arleta, Judge Gantenbein discharged
all but three of them yesterday. They
were brought into the Juvenile Court be
cause guns, revolvers and bows and ar
rows were used so freely that they be
came dangerous and because of the lads'
carelessness In erecting two platforms In
trees in such unworkmanlike manner that
they might at any moment have given
was.
Judge Gantenbein said he did not object
to boys playing Indian, but that no guns
nor other weapons must be used. He told
of his experience with weapons while in
the Army In the Philippines. Blank
cartridges, he said, fired at four feet from
a board would, imbed the leather wad
a quarter of an inch in a board. He told
of a sham battle at Gladstone Park, 15
yaars ago. in which blank cartridges were
used, and in which- a Lieutenant was
struck, dying three days later.
Three boys who chased two witli a
knife, and who threw rocks at barn
in which the pair had taken refuge,
were placed on probabtton to Chief Pro
bation Officer Teuscher.

The Servian girl has a number of
aliases, among them Rosa Lehan, Rosa
Mark and Rachel Mark. The police as
sert with positiveness that she was
camped on the East Side- with another
hand of gypsies about four years ago.
When the girl appeafed before the court
yesterday she had refreshed her memory
enough to. say that she is 16 years old,
instead of 14. When asked why she said
at her former hearing in court that she
was but 14. she replied, "I malie fun. I
got better sense now." She was severely
reprimanded by Judge Gantenbein, who
informed her that she could be sent to
jail for perjury.
The girl said that she was born in

cause he didn't like the plate she gave
him. So said Mrs. Mary S. Hlndman,

testify in the divorce suit which he
brought against her husband. She de
clared her husband threw the plate on
the floor before slapping her. . 9he also
said he threatened to cut out her heart,
that he choked her. and that when she
fled he caught her by the hand and threw
her downstairs. They were married In
July. 1886. at Prineville, and have one

cruelty.

arms as she took the witness stand, Mrs.
Marie Christ told the Judge how she had
been obliged, for the last nine months, to
drive a garbage wagon, because her hus
band was too drunk to wbrk. She said
she had no alternative, for there was
nothing to e&t in the house. During the
Infrequent Intervals when he was sober
he would work a little, said the wife, but
with each returning spree she expected
a beating. She said he is still occupying
the house with his family. They were
married in January, 1S96. and have three
children. Christian Christ, Mary Magda
lene Christ and Edlam Christ. The fath
er's name is Peter Christ. Because of
Mrs. Christ's unfamiliarity with the Eng
lish language. Chief Probation Officer
Teuscher was obliged to act as inter
preter. Domlnick Raima followed his wife about
with revolvers, she said, and when drunk
choked her in brutal fasihon. For that
reason Judge Cleland granted a divorce

the Life of a City." Mr. Sweet said that
the laying of the cornerstone marked an

Mr. Sweet's Address.
Mr. Sweet's address was in part:
The event which brings us together at
this time is no ordinary occasion, it marks
an epoch in the development of the City of
Portland. It is a demonstration of the fact
that those who have the highest welfare of
the citv at heart are willing to build here a
temple dedicated to the highest purpose to
which anv temple may ie dedicated, the
making of Christian manhood. Have you ever
considered the variety of sources from which
have come the thousands ot tioiiurs with
which to build tins building? This money
lias come for the most iart from the de
liberate, calculating, keen bus-iness man. It
has cume from the employer and the em
plove. from the church man and from the
unbeliever, from the Protestant and tne
Romanist, from the Jew and Jhe Gentile,
from the widow- who has given her mite,
from these sources and many more have
come the hundreds of thousands uf dollars
to be administered solely for the benellt and
heip of men. I ask you where is there an
otlur organization such as this whic-h suc
cessfully unites all these elements for such
a purpose'.' National calamities have been
occasions many times for the exercise of
charity and benevolence, and rynjind us
that after all the world ia akin, but today
there is laid In your city' the corner-stone
of a building born not out of a calamity
but a common need, which need has only
to be emphasized to be met.
In the short time alloted me I cannot
do more than suggest what a modern asso
ciation building means to the life of a city.
We arc awed as we thinlo of what the life
of a great city really means. No one of us
here can know all that it ' moans. It signifies
the hurry and bustle of your commercial
life, unloading of the great vessels as t'oey
deposlt their cargo or put out to sea loaded
with the proaucis or mis great state.
I means the groat banking institutions of your
I citv in which are deposited the millions of
dollars owned by your people to be loa ..ed
by these name banks and returned again on
demand without the loss o a penny of the
jjrinc:pal. Ail this and much more is known
as the commercial life of this .pity. There
is the political life which has to do with
the science of wise government where one
or two hundred thousand people are living
together.' How perplexing are the prob
lems which confront us in our political life.
For a time the reform, the constructive
forces are In control and then suddenly the
obstructive not to say destructive party la
in the ascendancy. Then there Is the social
life of your city dealing; with the question
of how the other half lives. What are the
ambitions, the hopes, and aspirations of
the other half, are they the creatures of
thir environment or do they prefer their
manner and method of life? 'if they look
for a better day then what are our obliga
tions to them? There Is again the religious
life of the city, which ought to engage your
earnest attention, for in proportion as you
sii'.port in this community that which pro
motes its religious and moral life you ad
vance all thHtis highest and best.

The instinct of modesty natural to every woman is often a
great hindrance to the cure of womanly diseases. Women
shrink from the personal questions of the local physician
which seem indelicate. The thought of examination is ab
horrent to them, and so they endure in silence a condition
of disease which surely progresses from bad to worse.

The combination o! healthful vegetable ingredients of which S. S. S. is
composed, makes it an especially desirable and effective remedy in the treat
ment of sores and ulcers of every kind. Since an impure condition of the
blood is responsible for the trouble, a medicine that can purify the blood is
the only hope of a successful cure; and it should be a medicine that not only
cleanses the circulation, but one that at the same time restores the blood to
its normal, rich, nutritive condition. S. S. S. is just such a remedy. It is
made entirely of healing, cleansing vegetable properties, extracted from na
ture's roots, herbs and barks of the forest and fields. It has long been
recognized as the greatest of all blood purifiers, possessing the qualities
necessary to remove every impurity in the blood. When S. S. S. has purified
the circulation, and strengthened and enriched it, sores and ulcers heal read
ily and surely, because they are no longer fed and kept open by a continual
discharge into them of irritating disease-laden matter from the blood. S. S. S.
brings about a healthy condition of the flesh by supplying it with rich,
nourishing blood and makes a permanent and lasting cure. Book on Sores

The chief advantage of this treatment
