HELENA, Ark.. Oct. 27. President
Taft's river schedule went all to pieces
today, owlns to the inability of the v
re'.a follo-a-lnr his flagship, the Oleander,
to maintain the designated fpeed. The
President tried to remain with the fleet
as far a possible and delayed his arri

as other vessels can-ylnK delegates to the

Leaving' Memphis an hour and a half
late this afternoon, the Oleaniler had to
press forward at top speed in order to

Leavlnff here nearly three hours late

The President In Ms address at Mem
phis declared that such commercial ad
vantages as the Mississippi River al
ready afforded were not being taken ad
vantage of. He also pointed out the hard
work that would have to be done to start
a system of commerce, even after the
deep waterway is secured.
The President ta still very hoarse and
it was with great effort that be spoke.
Flotilla Proves Joke.
He referred to the flotilla Jestingly as
a traveling- show, booked for a full per
formance." and regretted that one part
of the show was called upon to fill the
entire engagement. The trip down the
river, araording- to the President, -has

railroads and is gooa ubuuitul - "
waterways.
"Some will say." be added. that the
trip is merely a free Junket: but those
who know understand that the time of
the men who are making the trip 1s too
valuable and they could not afford to
spend it except to Impress upon the coun
try what is one of the most important
issues of the time.
Congress Has Power.
"Congxess has the power to, Improve
thn riverways. They have spent much
money but ha-e not entered Into general
plans. We all realize that if we do any
thing effectivelv and economically it must
be a general plan. If It is proven prac
tical I believe 1t ought to be done and
done' quickly. We ought to treat it like
we have treated, the Panama Canal Issue,
but not piecemeal. Let us center on a
general plan and issue bonds.
Mr. Taft paid a high compliment to
General Luke E. Wright. ex-Governor
, of the Philippines, and also to Sec
retary of War IMcklnson. both resi
dents of Memphis. He continued:

railroad and river facilities, but be
cause you are situated in the keystone
position to three states and are fed by
them. I wish to impress upon you most
emphatically that you have grown, not
by reason of your- river facilities, but
by reason of your railroad facilities.
"And now that Is why we are here.
We are here to see If we cannot add
to your river facilities so- that in the
same lentrth of time you may again
double your growth. We did not come
down that river of yours simply for
the enjoyment of It. We came down
because we believe we are now enter
ing upon an epoch of inland waterway
Improvements. By coming down that
river and by arousing the people we
hope to Increase the river facilities -of
this city and every one in the great
Mississippi Valley.
"This proposition of a 14-foot chan
nel requires much serloua thought and
study. The entire river must be stud
ied by experts."
The President declared that terminal

The Presidential salute was fired by
a battery stationed on, the crowning
point of historic old Jackson Mound
Park, said to be the spot where Her
nando de Soto first stood and looked
out over the blfr river.
.In opening the Y. M. C. A. at Memphis
the President used a gold key which he
kept as a souvenir. He mentioned that
he had once opened the doors of,a Y. M.
C. A. building in Shanghai for China.

ASKS GOVERNORS TO CONFER
Tnft Wants Co-operation in Secur
ing Uniform Laws.
MEMPHIS. Tenn., Oct. 27. As the guest
at dinner on board the steamer St. Paul
last night of the Governors of more
than one-half the states of the Union,
President vTaft made an address. In
which he sought to encourage still fur-
ther the policy of the states co-operating
more closely with the National
Government. He, expressed the belief
that much good would come from a
meeting: of the Governors, of all tbe
states In Washington each Winter,
and formally extended an invitation for
them so to meet. The President in his
speech began by paying a tribute to
New Orleans. He continued: x
"I am hopeful that the meeting of the
Governors on this vessel, following as it
does the other two meetings in Washing
ton, has led them to believe that there
is much value In discussion and consid
eration by them of subject common Jo
all states which the Federal Government
Is not able Itself by reason of constitu
tional restrictions to 'act upon or con
sider. "The truth is that as we are going on
now to meet the exigencies presented by
the necessity for the conservation of re
source, we are not going to be able to
accomplish everything under the Federal
Constitution, and we must have the co
operation of the states in a uniform pol
ity that shall unite all the powers there
are In the states with all the powerj
there are in the Federal Government to
do what we have to do. and I am veria
hopeful that you will continue the policy
of meetinp in Washington every year.
I should be glad to see them all, the
whole forty-six Governors. In Washing
ton every Winter, and I promise that If
they will come I will do everything in
my power to make their "May there a
memorable and pleasant one. -
"The lack of uniformity In some of our
laws is ' distressing, and yet we cannot
amend the Constitution of the United
."tat. a in order to correct the evil that
grows out of it. We must, by team-play,
by team-action, through the Legislatures
of the states, accomplish that reform,
and while we. by inviting the Governors,
do not Invite the legislative power of the
states, we do invite those men who have
much to di with directing what the lorf:-
lation shall be and whose constitutional
function it generally is to recommend
frETLslatlon with very considerable influ
ence in that regard.
'We are going to have a meeting of
the Cjyic Federation some time In De
cember to consider the question of the
uniformity of laws and their being;
made uniform by action of the states.
Whether it be a convenient time to
bring the Governors together J do not
know.
"Of course, I cannot do anything else
than hang- out the latchstring at the
White House. Congress cannot control
that, and if that will bring you there,
I certainly shall throw It out.

HELENA. Ark.. Oct. 27. Because of a
breakdown in the engine-room of the
Bteamer Gray Eagle, one of the fleet of

MODEL WIS FOUND
HEALTH OFFICIALS INSPECT
DEER ISLAND MILK PLANT.
E. L. Thompson First to Receive the
Sanction of State Board to Sell
"Certified Milk.';
An Inspection of the dairy of E. Lc
Thompson, at Deer Island, was made yes
terday by Dr. S. W. McCIure, of the Bu
reau of Animal Industry; Dr. W. H.
Lytle, State Veterinarian, and Dr. R. C.
Yenney, State Health Officer, in order to
determine the qualifications of the dairy
to produce a sanitary milk product.
Mr. Thompson's dairy was found to be
in excellent condition. The herd had been
tested by Dr. H K. Plnkerton, of the
Bureau of 'Animal Industry, and found
free from tuberculosis. The barn was in
most excellent sanitary condition and
conducted in strict compliance with the
most rigid sanitary requirements of the
United States Department of Agriculture.
The barn was also found to provide 740
cubic feet of air space and four square
feet of air aperture for each" cow. All
manure and dirt from the barn is re
moved by gutters to 75 feet distant, and
hauled away each day.
The mllkhouse was found to be sani
tary In construction and supplied with
abundance of light, pure cold water and
boiling water for sterilizing purposes. It
was found that Mr. Thompson required
that all his cows should be curried and
cleaned each day. and their udders
cleansed before milking. The milkers and
attendants are required to keep personal
ly clean efld dress in clean, white linen
suits while milking , or .caring for the
milk.
All milk is drawn directly into small
top milk pails and as soon as drawn Is
removed from the dairy barn to the cool
ing room, where its temperature is re
duced in a sanitary cooler to 50 degrees
Fahrenheit. The milk is then bottled and
sealed with a private seal. Insuring its
delivery to the customers In its original
fresh state.
"This is the first dairy to- receive the
sanction of the State Board of Health to
sell milk'known as 'certified milk.' " said
State Health Officer Yenney, last night,
"but the Board is ready at any time to
examine the dairy barns and cows of any
person desiring to meet the requirements
of the Board necessary to produce certi
fied milk.
"Mr. Thompson has demonstrated that
the production of a pure milk is prac
ticable and Intends to enlarge his pres
ent plant. His enterprise in establishing
a dairy of this- character In the vicinity
of Portland is most commendable and he
has been issued a permit by the State
Board of Health permitting him to sell
certified milk. " . 0
A meeting for the discussion of the
milk situation will be held in the Mayor's
committee-room at the City Hall at S
o'clock this afternoon. Mavor Simon
will attend, and Dr. S. W. McCIure, of
the United States Bureau of Animal In
dustry will be present. Members of the
City and State Boards of Health have
been Invited, as has also State Dairy and
Food Commissioner Bailey. Conditions
will be talked over, with the object of
determining upon a course of action.
I am in favor of providing the very
beet grade of milk for use in the city,"
said Mayor Simon. "I have already or
dered vigorous action by the Health Of
ficer and hi staff. ;to the end that the
supply of milk may "be such as it fit for
human consumption. I am anxious to
assist In every possible way to bring this
about, and will be .glad to attend the
meeting tomorrow and hope it will be
productive of much permanent good."

75,000 TAGS ARE STRUNG
Women Prepare.for Baby Home Ben
efit Saturday.
At the Baby Home headquarters.
Seventh and Oak streets, about 40 women
met yesterday mourning to string tags for
the approaching tag day, and a more
cheerful lot of workters never met In such
service. They succeeded in tying about
7bfS tags yesterday. The same com
mittee will meet again tomorrow and
finish the work for Saturday mornlrwr.
The money raised on tag day last year
amounted to JSS36.TO and was .expended
as follows:
Note was -ald with interest 2341.50
Set aside for street assessments,
since paid 3."K0.B0
Betterments about the building 435.03
Exchange of property with Sharkey
& -C'o. 1500.00
Turned Into general fund suo.15
It is expected Ho raise a. much larger
amount this year, as expenses have al
most doubled. A trained nurse seems to
be a necessity and street improvements
as now projected will affect the home on
all sides. The Brooklyn sewer alone will
cost the home over $f00.
A special call has been made for helpers
to sell tags on Saturday, evening. Men
or women who will volunteer to do this
work are asked to report to Mrs. Burns,
the president, Friday night at 8 o'clock
at headquarters. Seventh and Oak streets.

In the White Temple Jast4feight
Charles N. Crlttenton, founder of SO
homes for fallen, women throughout the
United States, gave an address on the
text. "How Short Is Our Time," a gen
eral exhortation rather than a discus
sion of his method of saving- wayward
girls: His remarks, however, were in
terspersed with references to the plan
followed by the Crlttenton Homes in
rescuing women from lives of sin. Mr.
Crlttenton was introduced to the audi
ence by Dr. Brougher, who then retired
.to his study, no ministers occupying
seats on the platform with the speaker.
Mr. Crittenton t remarked that if
Christ were in Portland he would not
treat the fallen women as cities do, by
drivine them out. The- speaker cited
three biblical incidents to show that
tne better way is to be kind to them
and by argument convince them they
would be better materially. and spiritu

WILL MANUFACTURE SAFES
Peninsula Safe & Lock Co. Pur
'chases Tract Xear Kenton.
The Peninsula Safe & Lock Company
has purchased from the Swift Company
a five-acre tract near Kenton, extend
ing from Columbia boulevard . to the
slough and being 200x1100 feet. It is
the announced intention of erecfing
new buildings for an extensive manu
facturing plant on the site secured.
The main factory building- will be lOOx
300 feet. It will be two stories and
built of relnforcl concrete. An iron
and brass foundry building-, 50x200
feef, and a coke and sand shed 70x20
will be erected in the Immediate future.
The intention is to have the plant com
pleted and in operation by March, 1910,
and about 100 men will "be employed
at the start. Elans for the buildlnjrs
for the concern are now being pre
pared by the "company's architect, and
will soon be ready for figures.
This enterprise is considered one of
the most important that has come to
Portland this year. Other cities were
considered as possible locations for the
plant, but the manager concluded that
Portland is the best point for their
business. A number of Portland busi
ness men are interested financially in
the concern.
BIG SAWMILL IS CLOSED
Sherfff Serves Attachment and Men
Are Out of Work
OREGON CITY, Oct. 27. (Special.) The
huge plant of the Oregon City Mill &
Lumber Company Is closed down. At
tachment papers In two suits have been
filed through Sheriff Beatle's office, and
when the mill crew arrived at the mill
this morning the men found that they"
were temporarily, at least, out or a Job.
Financial troubles confront the con
cern, which was reorganized some time
ago with an increased capitalization.
Both a sawmill and a planing mill have
been operated and the plant is one of
the best in the Northwest, being valued
at something like $75,000. It Is understood,
however, that about one-third of the
plant is still unpaid for and the financial
difficulties of the company are largely due
to the fact that there is an insufficient
working capital.
The Oregon Lumber Company this after
noon nied a suit against the uregon uny
Lumber & Manufacturing Company for
$1127.45, said to be due for lumber fur
nished, and A. T. Roberts has instituted

There is an .issue of J2.000.000 at hand for

Charcoal Lozenges
Powerful Absorbents
Offensive Breath and Stomach Gases
Cannot Exist When They Are Used.
Charcoal, bv virtue of its porous na
ture, takes up gases mechanically just
as a sponge takes up water. Its ca
pacity in this respect is in proportion
to the number and fineness 01 us purua,
rharooal made from poplar, beechwood,
vee-etahla ivorv. cocoa-nut shells and
wlilow-wood.. is a compact, heavy sub
ntnnr-B. havine- a metallic luster, the
pores being quite invisible.
Chemical tests of various kinds per
formed by expert chemists have re
vealed the fact that charcoal made from
willow wood, is not only absolutely
harmless, but that it is by far the most
powerful absorbent of all kinds of
gases. Certain other woods, mentioned
above, are used by some manufacturers
in making- charcoal, and besides . not
being half as effective in absorbing
stomach-gases, have also been found to
be positively harmful to the digestive
system.
Willow-wood charcoal is, isen, tne
very best for the purpose of absorbing
excessive gas of the stomach, removing
intestinal flatus, and purifying- rout
breath. Charcoal to be effective against
eastrlc flatulence must be lntroducea
among- the gases of the stomach in the
same state as when fresh from the
crucible. The means of effecting- this
is to ooinDress them into soluble loz-
anges, so that after being dissolved in
the mouth and swaliowea, tne cnar
coal is "set free." and at once begins
its work of ox'ldlzingr and absorbing
foul pases, and also, through its anti
septic properties, of purifying the en
tire alimentary tract.
It is definitely known that the ab
sorbent and cleansing- action of char
coal is protracted and continued
through the intestinal system as well
as in the stomach, and it proves bene
ficial there also.
IN STUART'S CHARCOAL LOZENGES
we have a gas-absorbing remedy which
readily takes precedence over all others.
The charcoal used -in them Is the very
best that can be obtained. They are
composed of the finest young- willovv
wobd, converted Into charcoal by the
special, carbonising Stuart Process, and
before being compressed into Lozenges,
the powdered charcoal is rendeared
sweet and thoroughly agreeable to the
taste- by being mixed with pure honey,
and-the result is a product equally as
palatable as candy.
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges have at
tained A wide popularity among the
people, -millions of boxes being sold
every year. They have, over and over
again proven their efficiency as rapid
and powerful absorbents of foul
stomach-gases, relieving and curing
flatulence, belching, or the eructation
of sases, and finally In the purification
of offensive breath.

Dropsy
Given up by Doctor
"I had dropsy,' and was told
by my family physician that
there was no chance for me. My
family also gave me up. My
limbs and body were swollen
one-third larger than natural,
water collected around my heart
and I had to be propped up in
bed to keep from smothering;. I
took Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy
until I was entirely cured. This
was in 1902, and I am now able
to do any kind of work on my
farm. My cure was certainly
marvelous." .
