Apparently unaware that their course was over the temporary working place of m human betnr masters of steamera pass- inr through tho Madison-street bridge draw channel yesterday made life miser able for Walter Stirling, a diver, whow arm wan severely wrenched because of the swells of speeding craft. Stirling was employed by the bridge contractors to investigate conditions in the channel where the British tramp Rlverdale struck and to remain below so ss to a-aris. in the work of removing boulders, concrete blocks and other ma terial that accumulated from the old draw pier. Even at that depth, which la about 30 feet. Stirling says thst the swells, particularly from sternwheel craft, can be plainly felt and in one In stance, while he was engaged in handling the cable or "fall" with which the ma terial was being hoisted to the surface, one arm became caught and the swells caused It to be wrenched before he could disengage it. In addition, the diver complains that when the water is disturbed It Interferes wfth the sir hose, signal line and other paraphernalia used by him to secure oxme and to acquaint his helpers In the scow of his movements. Because of the danger attending the work under those conditions, the diver requested that steamboatmen be asked to proceed past the work tinder a slow bell, ss It will be necessary only for a short distance. The channel is being cleared as rspldly ss possible, so that there will be no repe tition of the conditions thst caused the Rlverdale's trouble. The tramp re sumed work yesterday, her deckload be ing rebuilt, and It Is thought the last stl-k wtll go aboard this evening, so she csn start for sea tomorrow. COLLISION PROBE IS TODAY Inspectors to Hear Testimony on Potter-KUckltat Accident. Numerous witnesses are to appear today before local Inspectors Edwards and Fuller to testify regarding details leading to the collision Thursday morn ing, near Henricl's. between the steamer T. J. Potter and barge Klicki tat, the latter In tow of the steamer Ocklahama. The Investigation is to begin at o'clock. So far as the Orklahama's part in the accident Is concerned. It Is expect ed the Port of Portland Commission will call witnesses to corroborate testi mony of members of the crew that a green light was showing on the barge at the time and that It was not ex tinguished by the Impact of the ves sels. An effort Is being made to sub pena passengers on the Potter, who were being brought to Portland from the steamer Beaver, that went aground near Flavel. to give testimony as to the position of the stesmers and for what distance the lights were dts tingulshsble. The Potter, it was said yesterday, would be In shape to resume operations tomorrow. The damage was found to be no greater than first reported and It la thought the repairs will be com pleted this evening. The steamer El more yesterday came to Portland on the Hsssalo's schedule, because the lat ter left the lower river Sunday In com pany with the Harvest Queen In order to care for the travel. HEAVY RESERVATIONS MADE Investors Join Cooa Bay Throngs That Insure Full Passenger Lists, Reservations made for the next three voyage of tha steamer Breakwater, which sails this morning for Coos Bay, are sufficiently heavy to insure for tier full passenger lists, and there are said to be no Indications of a dimlnishment of the travel. "There are few tourists vaulting Coos Bay points this season, a large per centage of the travel being of the regular character." said Captain Macgenn. of the .Breakwater, yesterday. "The various cities on the bay are advancing rapidly and there are dosens of persons going there every month Just to look over in vestment propositions. Naturally, they chocse the Summer period for the Journey and that aocounts In a measure for the full Data we are having, because in Win ter there are times mhen weather con ditions prevent us from maintaining tha same faex schedule." EW ORIENTAL SCITEDtLE OCT Menrik Ibsen I.ate In Reaching - Hongkong and Is Due Sept. 1. Two days behind the schedule that waa yesterday received from the office of R. P. Schwerin. vlce-pres'dent and general manager of the Portland at Asiatic Steam hlp Company, the Oriental liner Henrlk Ibsen arrived at Hongkong July 3U. The Rygja. now loading In the harbor. Is to sail about August and the next veasel to arrive will be the Selja. August IS. The Henrlk Ihearn Is due here Septem ber 1. the Hercules September 27 and the Rygja October 21. On the forthcoming voyage the Rygja is to proceed to Manila, where she is to discharge over J..c feet of lumber, arriving there about September 10 and de parting September 17. The Selja. leaving here August . is also to Include Manila In her porta of call and is due October 4. leaving the Fhllllpine port October 11. Bridge Bolts Ten Keet Long. Shipments of bolts, weighing E tons, have been delivered at Supple s ysrds for binding heavy timbers that are being util ised In the construction of the first big caisson for the Harriman bridge. Some of the bolts are 10 feet In length, and wtll be driven through timbers a foot thick and bolted on top. also on the bottom or 'cutter." which la of at eel. The "cutter" is aleo securely bolted from each side to the wedge-shaped timbers forming the base of the caisson. That part of the construction Is permanent and will remala In the bed of the river, while that to be added when it Is floated to Its position will be torn away when the con crete pier baa set. Docka Are Nearly Finished. riling for a new dock that Is being built to the harbor line of the East Side, ad V1alng the Madison-street bridge ap proach on the north, was all In place yes terday and the atart waa made on fasten ing the deck timbers with drift bolts. The dock extends about K feet toward tha shore, and will probably be length ened tn that direction later. For the preaent it ia to be reached from a road- way thst is being built from East Water street North of there the Pacinc Bridge Company is finishing driving piles for another big dock, to have one deck, wnicn also extends to the harbor line. Oil Delivery Made Easier. Increased use of gasoline and distillate en the river for motorboats and the fact that gasoline schooners are apparently fixtures in the Oregon Coast trade, has prompted the Union OH Company to build a tank at its St. Johns station so that the fuel can be delivered direct to the craft. In the past It has been necessary for them to take it aboard In small tanks. and In turn deposit it in the proper re ceptacles.

Speculation in atocka developed conatraint today and there waa hesitation about pursuing operatlona on either aide of tha account. The stock market was a dull and listless affair, but ended at declines. This waa due partly to the closing of the London Stock Exchange for a holiday. The demand from that source waa ao Important an element In rallying prices from tha acuta depression of the latter part of last week that speculators were Indisposed to pursue operations in the absence of Information on the Immediate attitude of London buyers to American atocka The call loan rata also la declining In New York and reserves have rlaen to auch large percentage figures that tne occasion ior heavy gold Imports does not appear impor tant.

Tha conatraint on the speculation came partly from the uncertainty of tha crop out look.

Guy Dobson, President of Redmond Bank of Commerce, Is Lucky Man Tomorrow. Miss' Annie Markham, who has been clerk for the State Board of Health, has resigned. When the news spread about the city yesterday. and particularly among the medical fraternity, the natural Inquiry was What's the matter?" "She's going to be married." whispered a wise one who bad been keeping tab on events. Prolonged "Ohs" and "I see" responded through the tall office buildings as this additional information waa disseminated, and smiles broadened every countenance. In the meantime Dr. Calvin S. White, secretary of the State Board of Health, sst in his office meditating, occasionally kicked at an imaginary object and ac tually said "darn It."

It Got to be Second Nature Suffering Endless and Without Relief Cuticura Made Skin as Clear as a Baby's. "If I bad known of the Cuticura Remedies fifty years ago it would bara saved me two hundred dollars and an immense amount of suffering. My dis ease (psoriasis) commenced on my head in a spot not larger than a cent. It spread rapidly oyer my body and got under my nails. The scales would drop off of me all the time and my suffering was endleas and without relief. A thou sand dollars would not tempt ma to hare this disease over again. I am a poor man but feel rich to be free of what some of the doctors called leprosy, some ringworm, psoriasis, etc I took and sarsaparillas over a year and a half but got no cure. I cannot praise the Cuticura Bemedies too much. They made my skin as clear and free from scales as a baby's. All I used of them was two cakes of Cuticura Soap, three boxes of 'Cuticura Ointment and three bottles of Cuticura Resolvent. If you bad been there and said you would have cured me for two hundred dollars, you would have had the money. I was covered with the scales but by using Cuticura I was soon as clear as any per son ever was. This waa over twenty-two years ago and for a long time, through force of habit, I used to rub my hands over my arms and legs to scratch, but to no purpose I was well. I had scratched twenty-eight years and it got to be a kind of second nature to me. Dennis Downing, Waterbury, Tt., November 27, 1909."

He haa stated publicly and yesterday in structed Forest Service officials that lands which did not carry more than 4000 feet of timber per acre might be listed under the settlement act. Mr. -WMlson expressed the highest ap preciation of the courtesies which had been extended him during his short stay in Portland and surrounding territory. "I will be back again next year to see how these new matters have worked out. said the Secretary, as he waved his hand from the rear platform of the train. "We are going to help Oregon settle up. Tn the meantime tell the farmers to plant more acres." FLY NUISANCE GROWING Market Inspector Says Vendors of Produce Omit Precautions. Pesky flies have been working over time in some of the bakeries and meat markets of Portland, according to Mar ket Inspector Mrs. Sarah A. Evans, who submitted her report yesterday for July to the Board of Health. During the month Mrs. Evans made 258 visits and collected fines of tlB for violations of the market ordinance. Mrs. Evans reported that a number of stores have been giving her no little trouble over files. Some of the proprietors have not taken proper precautions to pre vent the fly nuisance, even after being warned of their gross negligence. Fruit and berry vendors have been displaying their wares In the open, while some of the meat market pro prietors have been neglecting to use ice and keep out files. As there are hundreds of places in the city where these goods are sold, Mrs. Evans finds it a difficult matter to keep a close watch on them, especially during the warm weather. It Is prob able that the Board of Health will 'ap point an assistant to the inspector in order to ascertain who all the violators are and lodge complaints against them.
