SNEW CRUISIXG TYPE LACXCHED
Graham Turns Out Craft With Full
Pilot-house Control.
Seldon Murray has accepted from the
Graham launch shops, at the foot of
Mill street, a fulljtcabined cruiser, the
Jtichard. which is rated one of the
roomiest craft of her type on the river.
She has a length of 52 feet and beam of
31 feet, and as she Is equipped with a
60-horsepower engine, six sylinders, she
Is able to cruise wit's any of the heavy
launches of the lower harbor. The craft
lias a speed of 14 miles and her control
Js confined to the pilot house, which Is
en innovation In launch construction.
Mr. Graham Is working on a "tunnel
lioat," which is so constructed at the
ftern that though she draws but 16
Inches of water her engine will drive a
22-inch propeller. N. A. Bacon is her
owner and he intends to use her on
Iewls River. She has a length of 36
feet and beam of eight feet. The big
tender ordered for the Government
dredge Chinook is also being built
there. It will be 35 feet overall, have
R beam of eight feet and 24-horsepower
engine, four cylinder.
90.POISD TURTLE IS CAUGHT
Iolphln Added to Menu on Big
Steamer on Way to Port.
Trolling for dolphin off the Gulf of
Panama and hooking a turtle that
.weighed 90 pounds, was sport indulged
3n by officers and men of the British
steamer Coulsdon, which arrived up
from Victoria Thursday night, and the
shell, which they term the "ironclad,"
Is exhibited aboard the vessel.
The Coulsdon Is here to load lumber
Wit Inman-Poulson's for Shanghai, after
e voyage from New York and Philadel
phia to the Coast with railroad equip
ment. She discharged steel rails for a
Mexican line at Guaymas, cars for the
Panama line at Buena Ventura, more
material at Bahia de Caraquez and the
remainder at Vancouver, for the Brit
ish Columbia Electric Company. En
.route she encountered a stiff blow oft
he Pacific entrance to the Straits of
Magellan, but otherwise had a smooth
(voyage. Four of her crew were left at
iVancouver, suffering from malarial
lever, and as she Is to take on a bunker
supply at Kanalmo, they will rejoin
Jthen.
6PENCER TURNS TO GASOL.IXE
Captain Will Be Skipper of Speedy
Cruiser Just Launched. v
Having figured for several seasons In
races between stern-wheel carriers.
Captain E. W. Spencer has turned his
attention to motor craft and yesterday
Ills latest acquisition, a 27-foot semi
cruiser that is expected to exceed 25
miles an hour, was launched from the
Curtis plant. The launch will be driven
toy an 80-horsepower engine and there
will be sufficient space for a number of
passengers.
The same firm has started eight tend
ers for the Government Lighthouse De
partment, for service in Alaskan waters,
end early next month will launch a new
tug for Captain Amos, owner of the
Eva. The Oregon Yacht Club has or
dered six dinghies from the Curtis shop,
the type being something new in aquatic
models, and they are destined for service
with sails or oars.
CEREALS BLAMED FOR DISEASE
Coulsdon Has Seaman Suffering
From Elephantiasis.
Elephantiasis is the latest ailment to
be introduced to the nautical world and
the only known victim in port is an or
dinary seaman aboard the British tramp
Coulsdon, who was signed in New York
In February.
The effect of elephantiasis is to swell
the Joints and is similar to scurvy. The
Coulsdon s sailor is suffering from an
enlarged ankle that has given him con
siderable trouble, but is subsiding. The
disease is said by the seamen to arise
from an overindulgence In cereal foods,
and they report that cases are common
among Chinese crews, because of the
amount of rice consumed.
Bear Can Make Speedier Trip.
That the run from Portland to As
toria could be made with ease In five
hours by the steamer Bear was stated
, yesterday by her master. Captain No
4 uider, and he says she has made it
in five hours and 35 minutes, but owing
to the fact the regulations prohibit
fast steaming In the harbor, and there
is danger of damaging vessels berthed
at doeks through the swells created,
it is necessary for the big craft to-go
under a slow bell to the mouth of the
Willamette and she requires an hour
to make that point. The steamer will
sail this morning. She has 300 first
class passengers listed.
Hercules Arrives Ibsen to Depart.
With about 2600 bales of grainbags,
BOO tons of sulphur and considerable
Chinese merchandise the Oriental liner
Hercules arrived last night from the

CIVILIANS TO SEE SERVICE
Bill Providing for Their Appoint
ment May Cause Changes Locally.
Marine interests are manifesting con
cern because of a bill that has passed
both houses at Washington and Is
thought about to be signed, providing for
the reorganization of the lighthouse es
tablishment on a basis that will authorize
the appointment of an Army or Navy of
ficer or civilian as inspector- of each dis
trict for three years, and at the expira
tion of that time the inspector must be
a civilian.
In a territory as large as the Thir
teenth district it Is felt by shippers that
it should be presided over by a naval
officer, as it is generally assumed that
an Army executive is. not familiar with
navigation safeguards and comparatively
few civilians are regarded as' fitted for
the billet. Wha,t effect It will have lo
cally is conjectured.

NUMBER OF TfMIS
ALMOST DOUBLED
Great .Increase Shown by
Comparison With Figures
of 18 Months Ago.
THROUGH TRAVEL HEAVY
Railroad Men Say Some Local Trains
Are Run at I joss Travelers Be
lieve New Business Is Be
ing Developed Rapidly.
Within 18 months passenger trains
out of Portland have virtually doubled
in number, and have doubled in equip
ment and comforts. There were 24
passenger trains daily leaving Portland
depots on January 1, 1909, exclusive of
the electric lines, and 41 trains pulled
out yesterday. This estimate does not
make additional allowance for one train
that pulled out in two sections.
Just how important this increase has
been is Indicated by the fact that in the
preceding six months only one train
was added to those leaving the Union
Depot, although during that six months
the North Bank: road opened for busi
ness with two trains a day in each
direction.
The most remarkable Increase has
been shown In the number of trains
leaving the Union Depot. January 1,
1909, 18 trains pulled out for all points;
yesterday there were 32. The Hoyt
street depot has much more than dou
bled as to the number of trains leav
ing, seven trains departing yesterday,
as compared with two 18 months previ
ously. The Jefferson-street depot Is
unchanged. Only two long-distance
trains leave that depot dally. This
does not include the Oswego locals.
Seven Leave North Bank Depot.
From the North Bank depot, in addi
tion to the four fine North Bank daily
trains, three Great Northern trains
leave for Vancouver, B. C, making a
total of seven dally.
Eighteen months ago there were
three Northern Pacific trains for Seat
tle; yesterday there were ten trains,
divided among the Northern Pacific, the
Great Northern and the Oregon &
Washington. There were then two
daily trains to San Francisco; now
there are three, and the time has been
cut considerably.
Spokane then had a service of three
trains a day. Now it has five, and of
those five three are crack trains, one
being called the crack train of the
Northwest. To Astoria there were two
trains a day, to Seaside only one. Yes
terday four trains pulled out for both
points, and there were. In addition,
two locals as far as Rainier. Thus on
the Astoria & Columbia River Railroad
the traffic has trebled.
There were five trains to the East
daily January 1, 1909. Now there are
eight direct Eastern trains and four
more that make connections, involving
waits of less than an hour. Here the
service has been doubled.
There are now three trains daily on
the Oregon & Washington. Then there
were none. Now there are seven a day
on the O. R. & N. ; then only four; then
three on the NortlTern Pacific, now five;
then nine on the Southern Pacific, now
11. There were no trains of the Great
Northern; now there are four.
' Question: Is It. Overdone?
With this large increase, railroad
men are asking one question: Are there
too many trains?
The traveling public will insistently
say no. It asserts that in place of
waiting for the traffic, the railroads
are now encouraging It by providing
the trains. Those who travel insist
that the. service will be followed by
greater travel; that with greater com
forts provided there Is . a greater
anxiety to travel.
On the other hand, railroad men
assert that the trains to Seattle, for in
stance, are being run at a loss. They
say there are so many trains that
no one train can pay expenses, and that
a reduction in number is inevitable.
With regard to the Eastern trains
there is. unanimity. At rush times the
accommodation is even now insuffi
cient, while even when the traveling
public most desires to stay at home,
every Eastern train has sufficient
patronage to warrant its place in the
schedule.
That the increased service has
caused largely increased travel Is not
questioned. In every way the roads
are branching out. The electric lines
are finding that the more trains they
place on the run the heavier Is the
traffic, and the steam lines are finding
that the electric lines are reaching a
new traveling public and "bringing it
to the terminals, where It can with
ease obtain transportation to other and
more distant points. An appetite once
aroused for traveling requires no
whetting, say railroad men.
BROAD-GAUGE SYSTEM BEGUN
Permanent Tracks Are Now Being
Laid on South East Side.
The Portland Railway, Light & Power
Company has started on its new broad
gauge system in the South East Side
and is relaying its tracks on Milwaukie
street and Grand, avenue.
A broad-gauge track has been laid on
Division street, between East Eleventh
and East Thirteenth streets and thence
south to Clinton street, where broad
gauge tracks will replace the present nar
row tracks. This is the beginning of the
work of changing the Waverly-Rlchmond
and Woodstock branches to the Madison
street bridge. On Milwaukie street a
hard-surface pavement is to be laid be
tween Division and Holgate streets, and
the tracks are being relaid with heavy
steel rails and bedded in concrete.
On Grand avenue, where hard-surface
pavement will be laid from East Clay to
Ellsworth street, heavy steel rails are
being put down. These improvements
will require several months to complete.
MILWAUKEE TO RUN SEPT. 1
Delay In Opening Seattle Servioe
Due to Need of Equipment.
J. R. Veitch, general agent for the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul at Port
land, returned yesterday after a two
days' trip in Eastern Washington and
Idaho. . Mr. Veitch visited Plummer,
Idaho, where the Milwaukee has a
physical connection with the O. R. & N..
and by which local railroad men believe
that the Milwaukee will run a passen
ger service Into Portland.
He had a consultation with S. M.
Earllng. general agent at Chicago and
son of President Earllng. Mr. Veitch
said that passenger trains would be
running September 1 between Chicago
and Seattle, the delay being due to non
arrival of equipment- Twenty com
plete trains are required before the
service can be inaugurated. Mr. Veitch
declared that the first train would be
a replica of the crack Pioneer Limited,
now running between Chicago and St.
Paul. He said that freight was moving
to Seattle in seven days and had been
handed to the O. R. & N. at Plummer in
four days.
Personals From Railroad Row.
' H. M. Adams, general freight and
passenger agent of the Spokane, Port
land & Seattle Railway, returned yes
terday from Spokane. Mr. Adams said
he had closed his Spokane business.
John M. Scott, assistant general pas
senger agent of the Harriman lines In
the Northwest, Is expected to return
Monday from his Eastern Oregon trip.
E. H. Calef, assistant general freight
agent of the Missouri Pacific and the
St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern
Railways, at St. Louis, was a Railroad
Row visitor yesterday.
Railway Workers Organise.
The first regular meeting of the
Portland branch of the American Rail
road Employes' and Investors' Associa
tion will be held Monday. June 27. at
Woodmen's Hall, Eleventh street. Work
will then be done towards drafting a
constitution and by-laws. A large
number of workers in the railroad of
fices are joining the association.
Special Sale Crowds Offices.
Every transcontinental passenger of
fice in Portland was crowded yesterday,
it being one of the special sales dates
under the cheap tourist rates. Lunch
was entirely forgotten In most of the
offices and tickets were so'd from open
ing time until 6 o'clock. The next and
final special-sale day will be July 5.
SMALL TRADE AT YARDS
DAY'S RUN AT NORTH PORT
LAND IS LIGHT.
Hogs and Sheep Sell at Full Quota
tions, but the Cattle Offered
Are Poor.
There was only a small run of livestock
yesterday, and with the market well cleaned
up of previous arrivals, the result was one
of the lightest day's business recorded at
the North Portland stockyards for some
time past.
There was no change in the price situa
tion. Th- few lots of cattle sold graded
from common to medium, and, therefore,
went low. The sheep were good and
brought 4.B0, while the hogs sold at the
top of the market, though they were light
weights.
The day's receipts were 31 cattle, "7S
sheep and 03 hogs.
The shippers of the stock were C. H.
Moulton. of Huntington, one car of cattle;
C H. Farmer, of McCoy, one car of sheep
and hogs, and R. A. Campbell, of Sheridan,
two cars of sheep.

EXCHANGE IS FAIR,
ASSERTS CELLARS
Street Vacations for 0. R. & N.
Not Detrimental to City's
Interests, It Is Said.
DOCK PRIVILEGES RETAINED
Councilman Points Out That Deal
Does Not Affect Harbor Rights.
- "Mass Meeting" Protest Said
to Have Been Made by 12.
That the city Is receiving fair returns
for the vacation of 14- short streets in
the central East Side district, and that
access to the river front for public or
private dock sites is not being shut off
by the granting of these concessions to
the Harriman lines, is the chief import
of an interview by Councilman Cellars,
given yesterday.
An exchange of concessions, such as Is
contained In a resolution fathered by
Councilman Annand and adopted by the
Council last Wednesday, declares Mr.
Cellars, Is fair to both parties, and for
that reason he Is supporting the majority
action In the adoption of the resolution
and 111 vote for the street vacations
when the ordinances are presented by
City Attorney Grant.
"The exchange is. in my opinion,
eminently fair," -said Mr. Cellars. "I
fail to understand how all of the op
position to it arises, unless it is
through misunderstanding of the facts
by the opponents. I do not favor giv
ing away public property, but when
the city, as in this Instance, receives
fair returns. I can see no possible ob
jection. While there appears to be a
public Impression that, if the vacations
are granted, the city loses rights of
way for docks on the riverfront. I
have found by Investigation that this
Is erroneous; lhe city still has access
to the harbor, as there are other streets
running parallel that lead to the water
front and where. In the future, may be
built public or private docks.
Rights to Be Guarded.
"I voted for the adoption of the An
nand resolution, as I said at the time,
because of the understanding that' the
ordinances will be carefully drawn by
the City Attorney and will contain
clauses that will allow the city to
build elevated roads over or tunnel
under every one of the vacated streets,
should It be deemed wise In the future
to do so for any reason. While I am
not discussing public docks one way
or the other, I will say that I have
found by investigation that, should it
be deemed advisable at any time to
build such docks, the vacations to be
granted o the Harriman lines will In
no sense, affect the project. We shall
have ample access to the riverfront for
the purpose and will be in nowise han
dicapped because of these street vaca
tions." . Incidentally; Mr. Cellars said that he
had been Informed of some facts con
cerning an alleged massmeetlng. held
on the East Side last Tuesday night.
He said he has Information that there
were 62 men present at the height of
the session, but when tiie resolutions,
threatening the recall and the refer
endum on this subject, were, passed It
-There Is a growing sentiment on
was by a vote of 12 men.
the East Side, as well as on the West
Side, that the city Is receiving a just
return for the concessions asked for
by the railroad company and that the
exchange lh every way Is a good one."
said Mr. Cellars. The O. R. & N. Com
pany, it Is pointed out, wants the street
vacations asked for so that It may ex
tend Its terminal tracks to handle the
great volume of business of the entire
East Side district, and for the purpose
of erecting a large freight depot for
use by the merchants of that district.
This will prove of great benefit to
them, ano will thereby benefit the
whole city, it is declared.
Dock Plan Not Affected.
Objection is urged by. some people
on the ground that the city should not
vacate streets for any purpose, but
tha-t franchises, properly guarded,
should be granted instead. These per
sons apparently are those believing In
public docks, and they feel that these
vacations are going to cut off access
by the public to the riverfront. Mr.
Cellars sets this fear at rest and makes
it clear that there Is no truth in this.
A resume of the concessions, briefly
put, Is contained in the Annand reso
lution, already adopted. From the O.
R. & N. Company these are:
Perpetual easement for two bridge piers
on railroad land for east approach to Broad
way bridge.
Right to use company property for hand
ling material during construction of Broad
way bridge
Donation of not to exceed 65 arres in
South Portland for park and boulevard.
Right of way for sewer in Sullivan's Oulch.
Right of way for Twenty-flrst-street
bridge across Sullivan's Gulch.
Land for extension 6f Larrabet, street to
east approach of new steel bridge.
Land for boulevard in Alblna along bluff.
City of Portland to grant, by proper or
dinance, the following:
Modify franchise across North Front street
for tracks and approach to old Steel bridge
for similar franchise for new Steel bridge.
Vacation of streets under bluff on East
Sloe for new steel bridge.
Vacation of streets on East Side for
freight terminals for East Fide business
men; also right to cross East Burnslde street
in connection therewith.
Authority to !ay tracks across Randolph,
Ooldsmlth. Russell and Knott streets in A 1
bina for new entrance of Oregon & Wash
ington Railroad.

YSICIAN'S SUCCESS
may reasonably be Judged by a crowded waiting-room. Tou know I have
befen In the same location for many years, still every day In the week
my offices are thronged with the sick and afflicted, availing themselves
of the liberal low fee rate extended to the public by this eminent spe
cialist. Why Is this so? Simply because my reoutation for cures has
stood tlss test of years. There are no extra fees for complicated cases.
You may have one or a dozen ailments the price Is the same. I have a
special treatment for each ailment I treat. A patient remarked in my
reception parlors: "Doctor, I do not see how you can give such thorough
and painstaking treatment and devote so much care and attention to
each patient for such a very low fee." I replied: "My profit lies In the
large number I cure every year."
Many cases accepted for less than 1 10 now.
