FIRE DAMAGES BOAT
Steam Schooner Washington
Partially Destroyed.
B1VER BOATS TO RESCUE
Blaze Starts From Donkey Boiler
and Flames Clean Out Engine
It oom and Cabin Survey
Wilt Be Held Today.
.Fire which started from the donkey
boiler partially destroyed the steam
schooner Washington, at anchor below the
Government moorings late Thursday aft
ernoon. The extent of the damage will
mot be known until after a survey has
been held. Captain Crowe, representing
the San Francisco board of underwriters,
will look over the vessel this morning
and report.
In just what manner the Are started is
not known. 9team was raised on the
donkey boiler in order to pump out the
bilges and warm up the ship. It is be
lieved there was an explosion of fuel oil
gas. From what can be learned the en
tire engine room and cabin have been
destroyed.
The fire was discovered by river steam
ers bound up and down the river and
streams from the steamers lone, Iralda
and America succeeded in subduing the
flames. A fire call brought the fireboat
Oeorge H. Williams to the scene, but
by the time she arrived the blaze had
been extinguished.
E. Fowler, managing-owner " of the
Washington, . arrived in Portland last
evening from Seattle. In company with
Captain Crowe he will visit the scene
of the fire and assist in estimating the
damage. A report will be made this
afternoon.
The Washington Is owned by the Wash
ington Marine Association of Seattle. She
is a wooden craft and was built at
Seattle in 1106. She measured 3S7 net
tons burden and for a time was engaged
In the lumber trade between Portland
and San Francisco. When freight rates
took a tumble and the bottom dropped
out of the lumber trade the Washington
was tied up.
In May, 1908, the Washington picked up
the abandoned steamer Minnie FJ. Kelton
and towed her into Astoria. After she
was tied up at the drydock the brutal
murder of the watchman again brought
the vessel into public notice.
INSPECTOR HAS ROUGH TRIP
Commander Kllicott (iocs to Tilla
mook: Over Mountain Trail.
Commander J. M. Kllicott has returned
from an inspection trip to Tillamook Bay
and the light station at Cape Mears.
Captain ElHcott went through one of
the hardest excursions which will fall
to the lot of a lighthouse inspector. He
made the trip in to Tillamook via Sea
ride and the Necarney mountain trail.
On the trip In he was forced to walk
the greater portion of the way and com
ing out he was fortunate enough to se
cure a horse.
Captain Kllicott took the stage at Sea
side for Cape Falcon, but high tide held
the stage up at Hug Point and from
there he "hoofed it down 'the beach,
across the false cnpe and Necarney
mountain and into Nehalem City. Here
the troubles of the inspector did not
ea.se. He had wired for a rig to meet
him at the mouth of the Nehalem, but
on arrival of the launch from Nehalem
City the rig was not in evidence and he
returned. He went in over the mountain
the following day.
On his return to Portland Commander
Kllicott instituted a search for the bodies
vt Keepers Silander and Currie, of El
dred Rock Station, who were reported
lost from a small boat on March C6.
searching parties have been dispatched
to keep a lookout for the men or their
bodies. John Sparrow, of Haines, has
1een detailed for temporary duty at El
dred Rock Station.

her. Just as she reached Johnson he
lowered his rifle, which was a heavy

INDICATE BIG CROP
Oklahoma Wheat Prospects
Are Favorable.
CONDITION PLACED AT 92
State Report Has a Depressing
Effect on tlie Market at Qhi-
cago Distant Futures
Close at Losses,
CHICAGO, April 1. The Oklahoma re
port, -which indicated prospects of a. liberal
yield of wheat there, -was one of the chief
factors contributing to a weak market for
wheat today. The May option failed to
follow the new crop months and closed at
a net gain of He, compared with a loss of
'4c to & 9fcc for the more distant
future.
The wheat market was a drooping affair
all day with the exception of a brief
period, -when shorts covered freely and
caused a temporary rally. According: to
official statistics, the condition of the Fall
sown wheat In Oklahoma Is 92, against 73
a year ago and only one-half of 1 per
cent of the acreage seeded has been aban
doned. These figures, with favorable re
ports from east of the Mississippi River,
gave the market Its weak. tone. During the
day. July sold between $ 1.08 1.08 and
$l.O5)0l.nR, while September ranged be
tween 91.03 $M 'Oft . Final quotations on
July were f 1-08 1.08, and for Septem
ber. 31.05 f 1.05.
Liquidation of May holdings was a feat
ure of trading in corn and the market was
weak all day. The principal factor tend
ing to weaken the market was the con
tinued absence of demand for the cash
grain, the price of which was of c to c
No. 8 yellow Bold at 6062c. The close on
options wag weak at net losses of c to
c. May closing at 161.
Trading In oats was exceedingly Quiet.
The market closed easy with prices c to

RETAIL TRADE BETTER
BUT JOBBING BUSINESS NOT SO
ACTIVE IN SOME SECTIONS.
Record Shipments of Iron and Steel
Products Expected in April.
Rail Exports.
NEW YORK. April 1. Bradstreet's tomor
row will say:
Trade reports are rather more irregular,
with distribution rather less active than in
the preceding two weeks. Retail trade so far
has been better than a year ago, but from
many centers reports are of the volume of
jobbing trade not being up to expectations, for
which high prices and industrial unrest are
assigned as reasons.
In the industries dierse movement are
shown. Pending ittltement of wages, sev
eral hundred thousand coal miners are re
ported stopping work. In the cotton good
trade the curtailment movement nas man
further progress.
Recent reductions of prices by jobbers have
brought out varying responses. Northern cot
ton mill curtailment is considerable, though
lea marked than at the South, because of
different goods produced. On the other hand,
a favorable development, so far as purchasing
power is concerned, is the granting of higher
wagee; to 300.000 railroad employes.

gains over last year that there can be no
question as to its substantial character.
The labor situation is much less acute
and notices of wage advances by railroads
and leading industries promise much for
the future. The influence of cjrevious un
certainties wasmostly felt In the specu
lative markets. V
In the finished branches of iron and steel
predictions are made that shipments in
April will exceed the best previous records.
New business comes forward in well -sustained
volume, and the fact that prices re
main stationary is attributed to the largely
Increased capacity of the mills. Export
business in rails has beon a feature, recent
sales for shipment abroad aggregating no
less than 70.000 tons. Conditions In pig Iron
remain very much mixed, with a further
sagging of prices in all directions.

KIDNEY
TROUBLE
BrlgKt's Disease, Dropsy, Blad
der Complaints, Cared
by Liqaocide
ONLY THREE DATS TO LTVB.
"It is with the greatest pleasure
I write these few words of praise
for what LJquocide did for me. I
will try to tell you my condition
when I began with your product.
It was one year ago today, on June
14, 1904, when I tooJc to my bed
with 'Bright a XMsease. I could not
turn In the bed. I sent for the
doctor, and he told my brother that
I would not live longer than three
days. I got worse. Then I began
to take Liiquocide, and stayed with
it until I had taken seven bottles,
and now I have taken 1 1 bottles.
I am a living testimony of one that
has been cured of "Bright's Dis
ease I thank you very much for
what it has done for me." H. R
Griffln, 16th St., 26 House, San
Angelo, Tex., June 14, 1905.
THREE TEARS LATER.
CURE CONFIRMED.
Mr. Grtffin confirms this Novem
ber 1, 1909. He has experienced no
return of his trouble. He used al
together 18 bottles of Liquocide.
This letter is merely a specimen
of many thousands we receive un
solicited from grateful patients.
Many more telling about remark
able cures of these, as well as other
germ diseases wiil be sent any
where on request.
Liquocide
cures kidney trouble because of its
power to kill germs. Some forms
of kidney troubles are due to
germs in the kidneys. Some are
due to poisons created by germs
elsewhere. And the disease never
can end until these germs are de
stroyed. Liquocide is not like other
germicides, which are poisons when
taken internally, but a harmless
germicide which acts as a tonic.
Liquocide is not a mixture of
drugs. It is a scientific product,
and the formula is printed on the
label of every bottle. The treat
ment Is both local and internal.
Countless cured ones know from
experience that It does what
nothing else can do. Its effects
are so certain and so immediate
that we issue a certificate of
guarantee which covers a two
months test at our financial risk.
Don't treat kidney trouble in
harmful and ineffective ways.
If you are a sufferer, please send
your name and address and ask for
Book No. 24. We will send it and
also our liberal guarantee certifi
cate, which is free from technicali
ties and restrictions. Please send
today; our offer places you under
no obligation whatever.
Liquocide costs 60c and $1.00.

New, Different
AND
Better Methods FREE
Which Take Less Time
and Cost Less Money
Don't be practiced and experimented upon
by physicians, druggists, electric belts and
incompetent specialists. My large practice
and quick, thorough methods enable me to
cure men's ailments in half the time and at
about one-fourth the usual fees asked.
My best reference i3
You Pay When Cured
My practice has demonstrated that no
ailment peculiar to men is incurable. Fail
ure to cure is usually due to lack of knowl
edge and improper treatment. You may
consult me free of charge and learn your
exact condition.
CONSULT ME WHEN OTHERS FAIL
You mill note my examination is different, my apparatus is new and
up-to-date, and I always make it a point to explain every case exactly
as I find it, so that the patient may understand bis own condition and
how I expect to cure him. I charge nothing for examination and advice.
My specialty, besides being limited to men, is confined to less than a
dozen ailments. But of each ailment I have handled many thousand
cases. I can segregate the cura.ble cases from those beyond help imme
diately, and I accept for treatment only those that I have learned I can
guarantee to cure. But I do not mean a case is incurable because other
specialists have failed. My reputation has been built upon my abilitv to
cure those that others could not cure. My specialty includes all the ail
ments, the reflex symptoms common to sufferers. For all ailments, my
methods are quick, certain and permanent. I cure blood ailments with
harmless, blood-cleansing remedies that drive out the ailment, never to
return. I have a direct treatment for bladder and kidney ailments, and
piles, which completely relieves and is as certain as it is sure. I have
every mechanical therapeutic aid, and my offices are the very best
equipped of any on the Coast.
