THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY. OCTOBER 7. 1909.
SPOKANE nw
i SHOW HER MOTIVE
Seattle Meeting Offers Oppor
tunity to Prove Rate
Fight Is Unselfish.
HEARING TO OPEN TODAY
Portland, San Francisco, Tacoma
and Seattle Represented Before
Interstate Commerce Commis
sioner at Puget Sound Port.
H Y R. G. CAL1.VERT '
STATTLB. Oct. 6. (Staff Correspond
ence.) That the opportunity is now op.'n
or Spokane to come in and show that
it is interested sol.-ly in the welfare of
the consumer is the opinion of the attor
neys representing the Pacific Coast cities
in the distributive rate hearings about
to begin before the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
Spokane having-, as one interested per
son expressed it today, "plucked a lemon
Jn the garden of love." has lately been
contending that the city was fighting for
a principle and In the interests of the
consumer, and not seeking to broaden its
jobbing field.
The eojplaints on the distributive rate
cases ask for a readjustment of such
rates to joists as far east as they now
extend, wnlch would include Montana
points. It Is pointed out here that if
1 these rates are lowered Spokane will
' profit In securing lower freight rates on
articles manufactured or produced on the
Coast.
In addition It Is the proposition of the
Kortheru Pacific, to give Spokane a rate
from Fr -f-i points equivalent to 75
per cent of the Coast rate plus the
focal Mlk to Spokane. A lower local
rate would therefore result in a lower
rate from Eastern points to Spokane
under such an adjustment.
So far as now known Spokane has
o representative on the ground. The
commercial bodies of Portland, San
Francisco, Taooma and Seattle, how
ever, are represented respectively In
J. M. Teal, Seth Mann, J. E. Belcher and
W. A. Mears.
' The Commission will begin the 'Se
attle and Tacoma distributive rate hear
ings probably Friday. The first ses
: elon of the Commission will be held to
: morrow, but two other cases will be
' taken up first which It is expected can
be disposed of In one day.
Tomorrow the Commission will also
decide whether the Portland distribu
tive rate cases shall be heard in Se
attle or In Portland. The railroad at
torney want the hearing here. Mr.
;Teal will ask that It be held in Port
land to facilitate the securing of wit
' nesses.
Before the combined Seattle-Tacoma
case about 15 witnesses have been sum
' xnoned by the attorneys for the commer
cial bodies.- The first- witnesses will
likely be manufacturers of heavy goods,
' end. it la said that a allowing will be
made that these manufacturers are able
to put their goods but a short distance
east of the Cascade Range -under the
present freight tariffs unless the freight
beyond the points of limit is Absorbed
by the manufacturer. What the Seattle
manufacturer is up against is me iact
J hat on the Northern Pacific in most
articles he cannot compete successfully
with the Middle West manufacturer in
territory east of Kennewlck. and on the
Oreat Northern east of Wenatchee. There
are exceptions as to a Tew articles, as
special commodity rates on tables, for
Instance,, permitting him to compete for
territory in Montana.
Generally speaking, territory of the
manufacturer in the Northwest is a
local one, and continued growth, it Is
declared, dependsin the ability of the
Pacific Coast manufacturer to pur
chase as much transportation eastward
for the same money as the Middle West
manufacturer can purchase westward.
.That Is the condition the Pacific Coast
cities are i.ow striving for. It is an
ticipated that the Commission may in
dicate, after the Introduction of a cer
tain amount of testimony concerning
heavy commodities, that it will not
pare to hear any more involving similar
conditions. Otherwise the attorneys
will produce witnesses who can testify
as to rate conditions as they effect the
distribution of a large number of other
commodities.
. Tomorrow, for the first time since Its
organization, the entire Commission
will sit in a case heard on the Pacific
Coast. Chairman Martin Knapp, who
did not sit in the Spokane case, joined
the other members here today, and
James S. Harlan, who also did not sit in
Spokane, will arrive tomorrow.
The first case to be heard Involves an
entirely novel question. The Humboldt
, Steamship Company is seeking for a rui
ning from the commission requiring the
' White Pass A Tukon Railroad Company
to name a through rail and water rate
from Seattle over the two lines. It Is
alleged that the company now recognizes
a through rate via the Alaska Steamship
Company.
The White Pass & Tukon is partly In
Canada and partly In Alaska. The Inter
state Commerce Commission law gives
the commission Jurisdiction over intra
territorial rates. The railroad company's
attorney tomorrow will question the
: Jurisdiction of the commission on the
jrround that Alaska Is not a territory
within the meaning of the act. but a dls-
i trict over which It has no Jurisdiction.
The other preliminary case Involves
the resasonableness of straight carload
rates on go-carts between Elkhart, Ind.,
and Tacoma. In the distributive rate
cases the Hill railroads will be repre
sented by Hale Holden, of Chicago;
Charles Donnelly and Pierce' Butler, of
St. Paul, and the Harriman lines by W.
W. Cotton, T. C. Dillard and James G.
Wilson.
All three members of the Washington
Railroad Commission arrived in Seattle
tonight to be-present during a portion of
the hearing as spectators. The presence
of this state, commission here recalls the
fact that several years ago It held that
the distance tariffs west from Seattle
were unreasonable and ordered reduc
tions, still leaving, however, the distance
tariffs so they would not be higher than
existing commodity rates. It was ac
knowledged then that the commodity
rates were too high, but the state com
mission declined to order a readjustment
of distributive rates In general because
the Spokane .rate case was pending. It
Is understood here that If the Interstate
Commerce Commission follows the prin
ciple laid down in the origfftal Spokane
rate decision in deciding the latter case,
and falls to order a readjustment of
Coast distributive rates, the state com
mission will take up the question and
order a reduction.
ATTACKS GERM THEORY
Levi Myers Prefers Intelligent "Work
of Physiologist.
PORTLAND, Oct. 6. (To the Editor.)
-ia yesterday's Oregonian, In an edi
torial on "Microbes and Official Para
sites," I find the opening sentence:
"Discovery and substantiation of the
germ theory of disease has doubtless
been of great benefit to mankind."
I fully indorse what the editorial
says about the official parasites, but
the germ disease theory must be called
In question. Has that theory been
"substantiated V I am quite sure that
many intelligent physiologists and
careful students of the laws of life,
health and disease will dissent from
that view. The theory that disease Is
the result of microbes or germs is a
popular view of that Important mat
ter. Just at -present, but it Is not likely
to endure the wear of time. It will
pass away, as have many other fancies,
in the past, in this field of human in
terest, when It has run Its course and
had Its day.
There is some virtue, however. In the
agitation about germs, and dust, and
mosquitoes, and flies, and microbes as
the agitation calls tne attention of the
public to the importance of health. In
and of itself. This great blessing Is
only to be secured by Intelligent
thought and action, good habits, etc.,
but as a solution and comprehension of
the laws and conditions of life's great
problems, there Is but little in it that
is of any practical value.
The causes of disease are deeper and
broader and more numerous than these
superficial views and theories would
Indicate, and I am glad to believe that
progress Is being made by better and
more thorough methods of study and
observation than have heretofore ob
tained. I was much pleased with the
remark of President Taft to Professor
Moses, at Berkeley, Cal., that we are
veering around to Jhe scientists in
politics, in agriculture, and in all the
other fields of thought, as I have no
doubt we can do, with decided advan
tage and profit.
One bit of positive knowledge Is
worth more than a volume of theories.
Positive knowledge marks the progress
of civilization, and of human well-being
on the earth. It Is safe to say that pos
itive knowledge will lift the Important
matters of health and disease out of
the mysticisms and empiricisms In
which they have -floundered in all the
past ages, and will place them on the
rock foundation of organic law', and
of physiological righteousness.
Let those who will, sweep, dust,
chase rats, kill flies and mosquitoes,
hunt for germs and microbes, "fight"
disease, or "cure" it, or "stamp it out."
by short-cut, magical methods; but the
intelligent physiologist will pursue
quite a different course. His is the
work of patience, and careful, thought
ful Investigation, of the most wonder
ful force, or essence, that has presented
itself to the mind of man.
It is Impossible to substantiate that
which is essentially mistaken and fal
lacious. LEVI W. MYERS.
25,000 SEE BIG STORE
OPENING OF MEIER & FRANK
AXXEX ATTRACTS THROXG.
Railway Runs Special Cars to Ac
commodate Crowds Multitude
Entranced by Beantr.
The new ten-story annex of the Meier
& Frank department store attracted great
throngs at the formal opening last night.
From the time the doors were opened
at 7:30 o'clock until after 10 o'clock the
various departments were crowded. So
great was the throng that even the
streets in the neighborhood were blocked.
An hour before the store 'opened crowds
began to collect at the entrances on
Morrison. Alder. Fifth and Sixth streets.
The streetcar company ran special cars
to and from the store all evening to take
care of the great crowd, which was es
stlmated to contain 25.000 people.
The floral donations sent in honor of
the opening were on a scale never before
seen in Portland, the majority of the
pieces "being tributes from Eastern firms,
although many were sent by local retail
and wholesale firms as expressions of
good will.
The main points about the annex which
seemed to Interest the multitude were the
Immense private power plant in the base
ment, the pneumatic service, the first
of Its kind in Portland, installed at a
cost of J30.000. the delivery service, hand
some displays In the second floor depart
ments and the general offices on the
sixth floor, arranged in a manner that
would toe a credit to any modern bank
ing concern. The new restaurant on .the
seventh floor was also visited by the
throngs, while the men visitors seemed
to take especial Interest in the three
upper floors used for reserve stock rooms.
Many laudatory comments were made
concerning the quick-delivery . service
from these stock rooms through a great
double spiral chute.
The music on the grand opening pro
gramme was one of the features which
held the crowd. The Rosebrook band
played In the old main building and there
Mrs. Rose Bloch Bauer sang a number
of selections., the principal being the
'Star Spangled Banner," with colors fly
ing around her, the crowd" applauding
lustily as the last note sounded. The
Waldemar Lind orchestra played In the
balcony on the first floor of the annex,
while the Hawaiian orchestra gave lively
airs in the new resturant on the seventh
floor.
Many expressions of wonder were made
by the visitors over the appearance of
the old main store building which, since
the construction of the annex, has been
thoroughly renewed. Here the display
was as elaborate as In the annex.
Twenty policemen attended to assist In
moving the throng and in addition the
clerks, of the tolg store were on hand to
point out the features of the annex to
the myriad of visitors. No merchandise
was sold throughout the evening.

TAFT RESTING AT
YOSEMITE PARK
Will See Big Trees and Can
yons and Descend Cliffs
to Floor.
CAUSES MUCH PROFANITY
But Promotes Modesty and Content
ment President Enjoys Rest
ful Ride Through Call
fornia'e Glories.
(Continued From First Page.)
Presidents party at San Francisco this
morning and will personally explain the
wonders of the park, and valley to M
Taft.
The Yosemite recently was receded by
the State of California to the United
States and now is under the same con
trol as the Yellowstone Park.
Mr. Taft will be accompanied into the
big tree groves and Into the park only
by members of his party and a Califor
nia delegation, consisting of Governor
Gillctt, Senator Flint and Representatives
Needham. McKlnley and Engelbrlght.
When the date of the President s visit
to the park was fixed, there was great
fear that his trip might be marred by the
suffocating dust that sometimes Is en
countered on the way in and out during
the dry season of the year. Officials,
during the last ten days, however, have
put the roads In the best of condition
and have provided a new supply of water
from the falls, which at this season have
but small semblance of the rushing,
pitching cataracts of the Spring. The
ride into El Portal this afternoon fur
nished a foretaste of the scenery that
the next three days have in store for tho
President.
Climb of 4000 Feet.
Leaving Merced at 2:30 P. M., after
an uneventful run down the famous
San Joaquin Valley, the President's
train began the 38-mlle run to the
terminus of the Yosemite "Valley Rail
road at this place. For more tan
three-fourths of the way tho train
v.-ound along: the Merced River, with
its series of waterfalls, and kept con
tinually climbing from the level of the
sea to a height of more than 4000 feet.
The President made several car-end
speeches at, thriving little California
cities between San Francisco and
Merced, and at the latter place was
escorted to the Courthouse, where he
made n brief address to a -big crowd.
All business in the town was suspend
ed while' the President was there.
At Merced the President was present
ed with another golf s'tick. It was
made of eucalyptus wood, gold-mounted.
The presentation called out a golf
speech, iii which the President suggest
ed that the unirrigated land of the
West be turned Into open golf links for
the public. Mr. Taft said:
Merits or Game of GoU.
"I am very much touched by your
kindness in giving this to nie tills
memento of my visit. It has reference
to the game of which I am' very fond.
The game of golf is an old Scotch
game, played in Scotland by everybody
from boys to old men, and from the
poorest to the wealthiest. They have
there wht they call 'open links,' that
is, golf grounds devoted to the public,
and I sincerely, hope that in this coun
try the game will spread.
"We don't need in this country fames
for boys from 15 to 30, because we
already have them. I suppose I am
looking at some baseball' fans equal to
myselt in that regard. I don't know
how It is with you. but I have got be
yond my baseball-playing days.
"The game of golf, on the. other hand,
remains with you, from 60 to 70. Indeed,
I have played ' with a gentleman very
neatly 80, and he beat me. It Is a game
that leads you to walk without realizing
that you are walking. When you play a
game of 18 holes and walk upwards of
four or five miles, there is only a pleas
ant feeling of fatigue and none of that
violent exercise that you have lnt base
ball or tennis.
Game Promotes Modesty.
"I am honeful that out" here you may
have land not irrigated that you can de
vote to this came. There is this about it
when you first see the game, you will
appreciate the tone or ridicule mat gen
erally attaches to a good-sized man chas-
ln a Ball with a Btick around a Held:
but after you have driven two or three
blows at that, ball and found that, al
though It is considerably larger than a
auinine pill, it Is not large enough to
hit, you realize the training of character
that there Is in it. 1 don i Know any
game that is 60 provocative of profanity
as golf. I don't Know any game mat
makes one so ashamed of profanity.
"It is a game full of moments of self
abasement, with only a few moments of
aelf-exaltatlon, and we Americans, who
are not celebrated for our modesty, may
find auch a game excellent training. Cer
tainly I think I am sure -that those gen
tlemen over 60 who are in need of some
thing and do not know what, If they
will only organize a golf club and get
the golf sticks and golf balls and chase
them around WWO yards every anernoun,
they will become a great deal more con-
tented with life and a great deal better
satisfied' with the condition in which the
Lord has left them." ,
While winding slowly up the plctur-1
esque canyon of the Meced River, from
Merced to El Portal this evening, Mr.
Taft's train bumped into a handcar
which a section hand was trying to get
off the track. The car was little dam
aged, no one was hurt and there was no
delay. The train became stalled on a
heavy grade just below El Portal and it
was necessary- to spilt it in two, - the
President coming In on the second sec
tion. The engine was No. 232.
TAFT FEELS LIKE SCHOOLBOY
k
President Finds American Spirit in
Every Town He Visits.
MODESTO, Cal.. Oct. 6. A great crowd
greeted the President here at noon and
he spoke briefly, saying:
"It is very good of you to come out
and give me this cordial welcome. We
had a pretty strenuous day In San Fran
cisco yesterday and today I feel like a
boy out of school after an examination.
I am glad to see you and to know that
you are all looking forward to acomplish
ing something and becoming even more
well-to-do than you are low, for that
is the American spirit that I And all
over the country, and I am glad to know
that it exists in California as well as
In Washington. Idaho. Montana. Colorado,
and even In Utah among the Mormons.
It makes a man proud to belong to such
a race, for we are a distinctive race."

And Are You Satisfied With the Treat
ment You Are Taking?
Sufferers Who Find Their Condition Unre
lieved or Actually Growing Worse While
Using Other Remedies, Would Do Well
to Try the Tonic Treatment With Dr. Wil
liams' Pink Pills.
The symptoms of stomach trouble
vary. Some victims have a ravenous
appetite, some loathe the sight of food.
Often there is a feeling of weight on
the chest, a full feeling In the throat.
Sometimes the gas presses on the heart
and leads the sufferer to think he has
heart disease. Sick headache is a fre
quent and distressing symptom.
There are two old-fashioned methods
of treating chronic dyspepsia, catarrfe
of the stomach or chronic gastritis.
First, that which prescribes pepsin,
dilute hydrochloric acid and other fer
ments to help the digestive juices.
Second, that which seeks to stimulate
the glands to greater activity.
Both have the defect that too often
when the treatment stops the benefit
stops and the trouble returns in an
aggravated form. -The truth of this
statement is all too evident to many'
who have tried either treatment. I
Tone Up tbe Stomach. j
The modern method is to tone up the j
stomach and glands to do their normal j
work.
Every step toward recovery is a step i
gained not to be lost again. The recov-
ery of the appetite, the disappearance
of pain, the absence of gas all are
steps on the road to health that those
who have tried the tonic treatment re
member distinctly.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a tonic,
every constituent of which is helpful in
building up the digestive organs and
therefore are the Ideal remedy for
chronic cases of stomach trouble. The
success of the treatment is shown by

Local Hibernians Prepare for
National Convention.
WILL ASSEMBLE NEXT JULY
Raising of Funds for Entertainment
of Visitors to Be Undertaken by
. Portland Branch of Patriotic
Order at Once.
Arrangements for the big biennial Na
tional convention of the Ancient Order
of Hibernians, to be held in Portland
July 19 to 24, inclusive, of next year,
have already been started, and as it Is
expected to bring to this city at that
time more than 30.000 visitors from dis
tant states. It Is believed that the busi
ness men and all who are Interested In
the advancement of Portland will con
tribute liberally for the affair.
When the last convention of the order
was held. In 1908 In Indianapolis, there
were more than, 20.000 people In attend
ance, and it is believed that inasmuch
as railroads will make tempting rates
and as there is a popular desire on the
part of Eastern people to visit the West,
an even larger attendance will mark the
Portland convention.
It was due to the activities of the
delegates from the local -division of the
order that the big convention was prom
ised for this city next year, and the
local organization has been paying the
preliminary expenses necessary up to
this time. Now, however, to determine j
whether the people of the city are go
ing to contribute toward making the
affair a success, a committee will visit
the leading business men at an early-
date to learn the extent of, the money
that can be raised.
E. H. Deedy, secretary of the con
vention committee, has been working
earnestly for the advertising of the con
vention, with agreeable results. The Hl
bKjmian Magazine, published in Washing
ton. D. C, publishes a letter from him
in each issue corcernlng the coming con
vention, and this has aroused much In
terest,
The accredited delegates to the conven
tion form only a minor portion of those
who usually attend. Including the 200
delegates at large, the entire number
who will have a voice in the convention
will be 1304. These will be supplemented
by a large number of organizations from
various places which will come In bodies.
For instance. Information has already
been' received by the secretary that the
Hibernian Rifles. " In Oakland, Cal., will
send a company of me'n in military uni
form, who will camp out and drill at
times In tegular military fashion. Vari
ous initiating teams have also decided
to come collectively. Word has been
received that a party of 50 from Boston
ha9 .arranged to come.
In the campaign that Is to be made
for a big attendance, the Portland Com
mercial Club is to play an active part.
Copies of the attractive booklet, "Oregon,
the Land of Opportunity, ' is to be sent
to prospective delegates everywhere by
the Commercial Club, for In that way
it Is hoped to get the friends of the dele
gates Interested In this city to such an
extent as to cause them to iftne also. In
addition to this, the local division of the
order will send out cards as invitations,
and It is expected that the various rail
road companies will take up the work
and advertise the convention in their
various literature, that will be distributed
between now and the time the convention
be pins.
Members of the committee en arrange
ments have already arranged for the
use of the Masonic Temple for the con
vention, but a meeting place for the
women's auxiliary to the order has not
been secured. This auxiliary will meet
at the same time that the Hibernians
proper meet, and plans for entertaining
delegates to it are to be made by the
same committee that has the other con
vention In charge.
As an evidence of the Interest that has
already been aroused In the event. Sec
retary Deery said last night that letters
of Inquiry are constantly Increasing and
In one day recently mailed as many as
16 replies to these.

Mrs. Ed. Hardrath, a nurse, of Watts,
Cal.. received no permanent relief from
stomach trouble until she tried Dr.
Williams', Pink Pills. She says: ,
"I was a sufferer from stomach trou
ble for over two years and was under
a doctor's care for a year or more. He
said I was suffering from ulceration
of the stomach, but gave me little re
lief.. My stomach didn't seem to digest
the food I ate and gas formed, causing
pains, bloating, and pressure on the
heart. For nearly a year I couldn't
eat meat. There were pains through
my forehead and flown the back of m
neck. I was dizzy a great deal and
couldn't do my work as I ought to.
"A friend told hie about Dr. Wil
liams' Pink Pills and advised me to
give them a thorough trial. My Im

says :
"In the fall of 1905 I began to have
stomach trouble, which gradually grew
worse until I was not able to work
steadily. I wasn't well for the follow
ing three years and for three months
was unable to do any work at all. I
didn't have any appetite and my stom
ach hurt me all of the .time. It was
sour and gas was "constantly forming
on it. I was troubled with constipa
tion and often had sick headaches. I
was greatly run down in flesh and
strength.
"I was treated by two doctors but
neither did. me any good. They pro
nounced my trouble catarrh of the
stomach and said I needed rest. I
don't believe they knew what ailed me.
Finally I began taking Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills, a medicine which had been
used in our family for a number of
years. I felt good effects from their
use right away and continued with
them until cured. I am able' to work
every day now and feel much better
every way."

My stomach pained me a great deal and
I suffered from nausea. For one month
during my sickness I lived on a glass i
of milk and an egg taken every I
twenty-four hqurs and sometimes my
stomacn would not retain even this
light diet. I had no appetite, was
nervous and lost in welsht from 175
to 135 pounds.
"Tho doctors called my trouble a
complication of indigestion and nerv
ousness and I was under their care for
five years without being cured. I then
began to see for myself if I couldn't
find something to help me and. read

decided to give them a trial. While

the pills were helping me and this en
