CAKGO DAMAGE IS MAGNIFIED
j..inin n Hark Hoche Seems to
Have Caused Utile Ix.ss.
Wr..n hatches were yesterday re
moved aboard the French bark Hoche,
preparatory to beginning the discharge
of her cargo at coiumoia mju -a .
It was found that previous reports re
warding damage had been decidedly
magnified. There was found only one
"barrel of plaster with the head broken.
On the way from Europe the cargo
shifted and had to be restowed. whl
gave rise to rumors that the consign
ments had surrered saaiy.
Captain Le Bcaupln. of the French
tiark Rabin Chevaye. which anchored
-vesterdav In the stream, evinced dls
inclination to discuss details of his
rn.in. from London, except than -to
characterise the Journey as an "or
iinarr one." He declined to make
known whether any gear had been car
ried awav in storms or whether he
arrived with less canvas than when
ke Mlled. and said, when pressed, that
lie was not a master ot Knglish. The
cargo of the Babtn Chevaye. consisting
r l.S:4 barrels of cement, has been
old.
Half of It Is consigned to Notting
ham Co.. and the remainder will be
delivered to local contractors. While
foreign cement has suffered to an ex
tent because of being- in competition
on the Coast with the California prod
uct, it Is said that prices have been
lowered by the producers to an extent
that has caused it to move more read
ily. The fact It is shipped In barrels
makes It more desirable for Winter
use. The California cement Is for
warded in sacks and has virtually no
protection from the weather. The
Babln Chevaye is under charter to the
Northwestern Warehouse Company to
load wheat outward.
MIXERIC IS FOR AUSTRALIA
Velr w Vessel Is Not Coming
and Rrdhlll Is Released.
Portland people will not be In a posi
tion to Inspect the new steamer Min
nie, ot the Weir line, which was to
have loaded at Eureka and this port
with lumber for Calcutta, as Water
Iiouse & Co. have substituted the ves
sel for the British steamer Croydon.
In the Australia mall service. For that
reason the new carrier will take on
rargo at Taoma for Australia. A later
vessel, the Uucerlc. was completed re
cently and sailed from Kurope last
week for the Coast. The Hedhill.
which Is loading; at St. Johns and will
all for Seattle to take on flour and
sreneral cargo In time to leave for the
Orient October IS, is to be released
ty the Waterhouse Interests after her
present voyage. Her place will be
taken by one of the new carriers.
It was reported yesterday that the
Norwegian steamer Elr. which left bere
early In July with a lumber cargo for
the Far East, had been chartered for
another cargo and would load before
January 1. The Elr was taken by the
American Trading Company, for Aus
tralia loading, on time charter at a rate of
ISSS a month. When the Knight of the
Garter sails she will carry back to the
Orient a Japanese stowaway who was
discovered on the craft when she ar
rived here. The Nipponese has been
cared for at the County Jail, where he
as gained many pounds. He fails to
resemble the emaciated specimen who
emerged from his hiding place In the
hold.

LATE TRAIN KEEPS DARROW
Chicago Lawyer to Speak Here Next
Tuesday and Saturday.
Clarence S. Harrow, the Chicago lawyer
who was engaged by the Greater Oregon
Home Rule Association to deliver nine
speeches in Oregon and failed to appear
to- address a large gathering in Maonio
Temple Thursday night, has been found.
Thursday night he was aboard an O. R.
ac N. train that was seven hours late.
The train was scheduled to arrive in
Portland at I P. M. Realising that ha
could not reach the city in time to de
liver the address in Masonio Temple, as
he was dated to speak in Pendleton last
night he considered it safer to drop off
In Pendleton and be there last night,
than take a chance of missing both the
Portland and Pendleton dates by coming
to this city.
H. C. McAllister, general manager of
the Greater Oregon Home Rule Associa
tion, announced yesterday that Mr. Iar
row will speak here next Tuesday- night
and also the night of October S2. the same
date set for the prohibition parade In the

GOOD THINGS IN THE
PORTLAND MARKETS
BY LILIAN TINGLB.
The reign of the big. red apple has
begun. Grapes, especially Tokays, are
doing their best to hold their own; but
their glory will soon be over, and the
apple will have no rival. This is as it
should be. Did not the very word
"apple" originally signify fruit in gen
eralany other fruit than apple being
denoted by a particular suffix? Study
Welsh, If you doubt it. Or, as a recent
writer has said: "Regard an unsophisti
cated man in the act of eating an apple.
You cannot fall to observe that some
thing more than mere satisfying of ap
petite is in progress. As he vigorously
munches the fragrant and delicious fruit,
his mind and his soul are carried back,
unconsciously, to more primitive times.
and he becomes almost barbaric" Any
one who wishes to study, by this means.
the soul of primitive man, may do so at
comparatively small expense; for boxes of
excellent Spltxenbergs and Northern Spies
are available at $1.75 to $2. There is
good supply of Baldwins, Greenings.
Kings, Jonathans and others at prices
ranging from $1 to $2.25 a box. Among
the grapes. Tokays at 30 cents a basket.
and Oregon Concords, at 20 to SO cents.
are still abundant. The late-staying
Cornlchons are beginning to come in, and
Black Hamburgs, Oregon Muscats and
Magaras are still to be had, at from 20
to 36 cents a basket.
Pears are no longer plentiful, but the
Fall Butter pears are now available. Sal-
way peaches linger, at 10 cents a dozen,
and a few melons are still to be seen.

CATARRH
A SYSTEMIC BLCOD DISEASE
Catarrh is not merely aa affection
of the mttcou3 membranes ; it is a
deep-seated blood disease in which the
entire circulation and greater part of
the system are involved. It is more
commonly manifested in the head,
nose and throat, because of the sensi
tive nature of these membranes, and
also because they are more easily
reached by irritating .influences from
the outside. The symptoms of Ca
tarrh, such as a tight feeling in the
head, nose stopped up, throat clogged
and dry, hacking cough, etc., show
that the tiny blood vessels of the mu
cous membranes are badly congested
and inflamed from the impurities in
the circulation. To cure Catarrh per
manently the blood must be purified
and the system cleansed ot all un
healthy matter. Nothing equals
S. S. S. for this purpose. It attacks
tne disease at its
head, -goes down
to the bottom of
the trouble and
makes a complete
and lasting cure
by PURIFYING
the blood. Then
the inflamed
membranes begin
to heal, the head is cleared, breathing
becomes natural and easy, the throat
is no longer clogged, and every un
pleasant symptom of the disease dis
appears. S. S. S. is the greatest of all
blood purifiers, and for this reason is
the most certain cure for Catarrh.

Pneumonia to be feared more
than death from gun shot
TTie frwment chancres of temperature In tha
tall and winter months are the source of much
discomfort and destruction of hunan life.
Raw, damp, cold air. snow, sleet and rain taka
turns at producing a crop of colds and coughs.
These lead to pneumonia. Nearly every case
has its beginning in a simple cough and cold
that was neglected. Thousands of neoDle die
as a result. It Is more certain to result in
death than a wound from gun shot.
A sudden chill, rising fever, sore throat,
hoarseness, running nose, headache, cough
painful breathing are the forerunners ot
pneumonia.
Avoid the dancpr. Trv th on. rartafn. re
liable remedy for colds and coughs : namely.
Sr. Bull's Cough Syrup. It does not contain,
ant opiates. It is perfectly safe and reliable.
It is the best remedy for soothing and flub

cold quickly and completely. Test it first
