Tuttle. secretary of the Crys tal Springs Sanitarium and business manager for Dr. Smith and Ma associ ates, declared yesterday that any an nouncement that private intereats In tended to proceed with the Irrigation project was premature. "We have endeavored to learn what the Interior Department proposea with regard to this matter." he said yester Sey. "but we are unable to get a definite reply. By filing- our maps we are placing no obstacle In the way of the Government, but should the In terior Department decide not to pro ceed further with the project, we. aa next filers, will have the opportunity to build reservoirs and ditches. "The Government project cost be tween ll.ISO.Ono and $1,500,000, and win irrinta S2.000 acrea The Gov ernment Is chanting l0 an acre for the water, which makes the return to the Reclamation Bureau about tl.S20.00A. When all is paid for the Government will turn over tne reser voir and ditches to the settlers. T returned vesterday from Hertnis nn A munificent work has been done there. Splendid crops of alfalfa and fruit can be seen. The reservoir covers isoo acres, and there is 4u teet f water at the Intake. One hundred and forty cubic feet a second is now Inr out of the reservoir. The maps we have filed we were permitted to copy from the Govern ment maps. They cover 11.171 acres. Before we started on the project wa should want to buy aome of the land. I.and np there covered with sage brush is not worth t rents an acre. With water It becomes the finest soil obtainable. Mr. Tuttle said that his friends were eager, and that as soon aa a definite reply had been given by the Govern ment they would decide whether they would be able to go ahead or would be compelled to abandon the scheme.

Dog days are here but are giving no cause for alarm over the general health pf Portland. According to the city health office, there is daily abatement of conta gious diseases. Diphtheria Is rapidly de creasing and there are only eight cases of scarlet fever In quarantine, while ty phoid cases are scattering. Although the water supply for August becomes lower than m any other month, the qualltv remains good. In some of the outlying districts where complaints have been made that there has been a lack of water for domestic purposes, no acute cases of typhoid fever have been reported and there seems to be an absence of con tagious diseases. The City Health Board will take spe cial precautions during the month against any artificial mum for diseases and will co-operate with the various departments In looking out for violations of the health ordinance. The milk Inspectors and the market Inspector have been urged to cov er their respective fields thoroughly and to report irregularities or violations at once. PLAYGROUNDS ARE BETTER Portland Compares Favorably With Seattle In That Respect. Portland's public playgrounds are su perior In almost every respect to those of Seattle, according to A. M.

I visited nve of the six playgrounds In Seattle and. while they are very nice. I found that they do not compare with Portland's playgrounds In the way of equipment and especially In the way of attendance." said Mr. Grilley. "Our grounds are mucb more attractive, and this Is proved by the greater attendance. The parents here also seem to take much more Interest In the work that .Is being done for the children." Portland has Ave well-equipped play grounds, located in North Park. Sell wood, city Park. Peninsula Park and Columbia Park. In addition to the present equip ment .a swimming tank is now being in stalled In the Sellwood Park grounds, and It la expected that It will be completed and ready for use by August IS. Bathing suits have been ordered and will be pro vided free of charge to the youngsters. The management of the City Library Is co-operating with the playgrounds com mittee in looking after the welfare of Portland's boys and girls by donating the use of books. The children seem to ap preciate this feature, for Juvenile books are in demand. ... In North Park grounds the People s In stitute is lending aid by giving lessons In sewing to the girls.

The action, while regarded severe by many in steamboat circles, was a pun Ishment the Inspectors deemed forth coming on the conclusion that Pilot Myers was responsible for tne collision near Henricl's. the morning of July 28, as the lives of 275 passengers on the Potter, who had been taken rrom tne stranded steamship Beaver, were placed In Jeopardy when the barge Klickitat. In tow of the steamer 'Ocklahama, rammed Into her starboard side, cutting Into the hull and house and through the guardrail. It was concluded after the investiga tion of Tuesday that Pilot Truppa. of the Ocklahama, was not responsible for the accident, and he was exonerated. Inasmuch as charges were tiled only against Pilot Myers. The O. R. N. haa not decided re garding repairs to the barge Klickitat. Her bow was badly stove In. cavils and planking were ripped from her forward deck and her port guard was splin tered. Another case yesterday brought to the attention of the Inspectors was on complaint of Captain Parsons, of the steamer Newport, which was to have sailed laat night for Bandon, who al- legea that his second mate, M. vai buach. left the vessel to accept a berth on the steamer Golden' Gate, sailing Tuesday night for Tillamook, without having given him sumctent notice, which is In violation of section 444 of the revised Federal statutes. Captain Parsons averred that because of the unexpected move he was unable to sign another second officer and was compelled to send to Seattle for one. Immediately on the filing of the charges the Government Inspectors for- wsrded a copy of them to vaiouscn. and he will have to answer when the Golden Gate returns to port the latter part of the week. If the accusations are borne out by testimony of Captain Parsons and other witnesses. It Is within the province of the Inspectors to suspend Valbusch or revoke his license. ENGINEERS INSPECT RIVER Cowlltx, Between Castle Rock and Kelso, to Be Made Navigable. CASTLE ROCK. Wash.. Aug. ..Wel come visitors to this city this morning were Major Mclndoe and several more of the United States engineer corps, who came from Portland to make an Inspection of the Cowllts River be tween this city and Kelso, preparatory to beginning work on the contemplated work that Is expected to make it pos sible for boats to navigate to this point, at least during tne Summer months. There Is plenty of water In the river at all times for such a thing to be possible If It were properly con fined In Its channel. The party was joined at Kelso by a number of leading citizens, among whom were John L. Harris, John Ayers and Fred Taylor, and at Ostrander by Hon. E. S. Collins. Arriving here the entire party boarded autos and went down the river a few miles to where a launch awaited them, and from that point the inspection was made aboard the water craft. .The coming of the In spectors Indicates the early commence ment of this work, which Is of Import ance, since during a portion of the Summer the only means of transpor tation Is by rail. r MORE OF OLD GRILLAGE FOUND Portion of Old Draw Pier Located Beneath Bottom of Willamette. Further operationa yesterday by Walter Stirling and George Tllden, divers, employed in clearing the Mad ison-street bridge channel, showed that there Is yet a large section of the grillage of the old draw pier below the bed of the river and aeveral sec tions were removed. Mr. Stirling re ported, after repeated visits to the bot tom, that there were no large boulders to hamper the work, and the only material was that which fell from the grillage and was mostly gravel that bad been used In ballasting It. Pilot Archie Pease completed sound ings through the bridge channel and south of the Portland mill dock, and it Is felt certain that there are no obstructions or shoals, other than In the immediate vicinity of the bridge. Mr. Tllden auperlntended the construc tion of the grillage and pier In 1SS7. TAR SMOKES, BCT NOT A PIPE He Vscs No Tobacco on Voyage, Takes Little Grog and Lives Long.

I had made up my mind that death was near at hand, and I longed for that time when X would be at rest. I had tried many different doctors and medicines without success, and-my mother brought me the Cuticura Remedies, insisting that I try them.

"I enjoy smoking as well as others, but as soon as I leave port I use no to bacco until my destination Is 'reached," he said. "In port I can smoke cigars all day and enjoy them, but at sea they do not taste the same. Neither do 1 care for pipe smoking. As to drink ing well, . at sea I sometimes take grog, which Is weak and has more water and sugar than liquor, and on shore I drink moderately. That sys tem, combined with a policy I have followed of not worrying about trifles, is the reason, I believe, why I retain my healthful appearance." The Aagot is working at Tongue Point, where she will remain about 10 days, taking on 1,600.000 feet of ilr, while she has aboard a lot of 1,220.000 feet of redwood that was put aboard at Eureka. It Is the Initial visit of either the ship or master to the Co lumbia River. Riverdale to Dock at Tslngtau. Captain Veasey, Lloyd's surveyor, has ordered that the British tramp Riverdale, which sailed from here at daylight yesterday with a lumber car go to Tslngtau, go on drydock at the Chinese port so that her hull may be minutely examined to determine If she suffered greater damage In striking the Madison-street bridge pier than diving operations Indicated. It was stated that three of her plates had been scarred by coming In contact with the pier, but the examination was not as thorough as can be made on a dock. If the vessel Is not lifted on ar rival, it is said. It will preclude her later receiving benefit from the Insur ance Interests If her Injuries are great. Stolen Boats Are Recovered. After more than a week's search Harbormaster Speler yesterday recov-e ered a lifeboat stolen from the steamer Golden Gate, which was located be neath Alnsworth dock.

Before taking Warner's Safe Cure I could only sit bolstered up with pil lows, could not sleep more than one or two hours at a time, and my agony was terrible. The first two bottles gave me relief, and I could sit and sleep better. By the time I had fin ished the sixth bottle of medicine I was able to do my housework com fortably. I have taken about IS bottles of Warner's Safe-Cure, and several boxes of Fills. I still continue to take it at times, and the pills I keep as a house hold remedy.
