J arintr L-en Instituted In the Federal Court. The lecal entanglement followed cloe Ir on the latent mishap of the Koanoke. for while entering the Colden Gate from San FeUro on the last voyage, she collided with the hara-e Amy Johnston, which was belns towed by the oil tank steamer Rosrcrans. and sustained dara- xe forward, necessitatlmr repair to two plates at San Francisco. It Is es timated that about liJOO will cover loses on the Amy Johnston, the bead irear of which was carried away and other equipment damaged. The Roe rnn and Johnston were hound for Portland, the former carrying oil and the latter a cement careo. The bill of the Wll'arr.ette Iron & Fteel Works aaralnst the steamer Is for labor and material. Eecau.se of the fact she was lifted on the Port of Port land dry dork at St. Johns. It was nec essary for the repair force to be trans ported from the city each day. while fnateiial had to be carried to and from the local plant while her rudder post, pintles and other parts were being; straightened and new material fitted. The bill Is alleged by the steamship Interests to have been excessive and that la given as a reason why It was not paid. Yesterday a telegram received offering to compromise the ac count, which was not even considered. The Oregon Drydock Company had a bill of HT9 for painting the Roanoke at the same time, which Is Included In the suit, but It Is said the drydocklng charges, amounting to over $1000. nave not been collected by the Port of Port land Commission. The Roanoke may not he delayed here, aa this la her sailing day and efforts will probably be made to file a bond to cover the amount due. so he can depart fir San Francisco, San Pedro and San I'iego, SITE MAY HE T CR CI I A SED Government Has 'o Site for Oregon City Locks.

Uuht Power 'ompany to the present lo. k. whlrh affects water power at the lllainettA Kails, the Dow of the entire river at that point la privately controlled, but It ts the opinion of many that the Gov ernment can Insist on sufficient water be ing available for naviptlon purposes. In fart, such a ruling has been given tiy the United Slates Attorney-Gem-raL In preparing for the new locks the tOvernment cannot occupy property hove the low water line, unless resort ing to purchase or condemnation. Should the undertaking be atarted when further appropriations are made by Congress, there Is .incident moiry available from the last rivers and harbors bill to finish the preliminary work. During the period of construction the present canal would )e open to navigation. Immediately on the completion of the Government plant the embargo placed on products moving up and down the Willamette will be lifted and the task of locking steamer through will be reduced to about the same time as that required in the Cas cade Locks. CHINOOK'S SAILORS STRIKE Tender of Drag Hoist IivIinrRed for Breaking Big ripe. I'etalla of a strike participated In by the deckcrew of the Government dredge 'htnook have been reported to Major Mrlndoe. Corps of Engineer. U. S. A from Astoria by Captain Dunbar, master of the vessel, who writes that be has replaced the unruly tars and that the digger Is continuing her work at the en trance to the Columbia River. Major Mclndoe said yesterday that his Information indicated that one of the pallors, who was In charge of the hoist of a drag or pine, had managed the gear carelessly so that the drag was permitted to strike the bottom heavily, breaking one pipe. Captain Dunbar not only strenuously objected to such work, hut released the sailor frorn further re sponsibilities on the vessel and. In the vernacular of the waterfront, "set him on the beach." Six or eight other habitues of the forecastle, not coincid ing with the move of the skipper, dis played their disapproval of the proceed ing bv declaring a strike, which ter minated by successors being signed, and that small part of the Federal machin ery moves with the same precision as of yore.

The pumps were Immediately put in operation, hut as the water was pouring la at the rate of four or five Inches sn hour. It gained and within three hour after the accident happened the fires were put out. Steam was then turned cn from the donkey boiler, and despite the fact that the pump was under water !

IIAVDOX WANTS STEAMER LIVE Trn.lo Agreement With Portland Merchants May Re Suggested. BANDON. Or.. Nov. 15. (Special.) The subject of securing a regular steamer to run between Bandon and Portland Is under discussion in Ban don. and the Bandon Commercial Club is considering the advisability of mak ing a proposal to buy a certain amount of foodstuffs from Portland Jobbers in exchange for steamer service, the return cargoes to Portland consisting of coal, fish and cheese. Three large steamers, the Fifleld. Bandon and Elizabeth. now make weekly trips between here and San Francisco, and while Bandon Is geo graphically in Oregon. Its commerce ts altogether with Callforn'a. Bandon refuses to do business by what It regards as the expensive and roundabout Coos Bay route, having a port of Its own equally good. Ban don people contend that they have a greater depth on bar than Coos Bay. Marine Notes. To complete her lumber cargo the steamer Shasta left Prescott lust evening for Inman-Poulsen's.

The trade are hard to Interest except at very low prices. There Is con siderable accumulation at gateway points and the trade know this, and It keeps them from buying. What (a pity that the whole Northwest Is not thoroughly organized and that the different producing sections do not loin hands and present a solid front to the traae anu avoid this foolish and unnecessary overcrowding of the markets, and by achieving a wide distribution keep the situ ation healthy at all times. This Is the sal vation of the Industry, and the sooner the Northwest fruitgrowers come to understand this, the sooner will the business be placed on a sound conservative basis, to which It Is entitled by its Importance and value. Lntll that time the growers are more or loss at the mercy of the market. We have made the following sales, all of which represent extreme top notch value, and are only possible because of our exten sive facilities which enable us to keep out of'the beaten track to a large extent.

Menu Why Old Methods Fail Why My Methods Cure Pay When Cured The old - fashioned methods of treating men's ailments failed because they were wrong and unscientific My own original forms of treatment cure because they are so thoroughly right as to meet every require ment. But it will be well to enter into de tails somewhat, and tell you wherein the old Is wrong and the new is right. First, the measures commonly employed are wrong because based upon vague Ideas as to the nature of the aliments they are intended to cure. Second, because they are relics of an era in medical science that dealt harshly with sickness and failed to recognize the fact that nature's own laws govern In sickness as well as in health. Fill a well per son's system with harsh, drastic and Irritat ing druga and you disorder to some extent every bodily function. The same violence to the sick Is even more harmful. The physi cians of a few generations ago did not realize this. They regarded ail aliments as some- .., thing to be dealt severely with, and they Indulged in violent dosing, cutting, bleeding and burning. My methods of treating men's ailments cure because they have been developed In the light of accurate knowledge and because trey .do.no. more than gently assist nature In removing the ailments and establishing health. I have no need for the knife or poisonous dosing, or for harsh and painful treatment of any sort. The magnitude of rny-Pf110-tlce. which Is many times that of any other specialist in the yt est m treating men's ailments, stands as monumental testimony to the suc cess of my treatment. Men afflicted with ailments may come to me fear ing neither pain nor failure, for all my methods are mild and harm less, and I will not accept a case unless I know that a permanent cure will follow. Consult There t a popular Impression that specialists' fees are exorbitant. If such be true, we wlh to state that it is not applicable to us. On the contrarv, our very large practice and unusual facilities for treating men enable us to offer the very best treatment Inexpensively. A phvslcian is not entitled to his fee In advance. We are the only specialists In the West who conduct business on these principles. Contracted Ailments The serious results that may follow neglect of contracted ailments could scarce! v be exaggerated. Safety demands an absolutely thorough cure In the least possib'e time. I have treated more cases of those ail ments than any other physician upon the Pacific Coast. My cures are thorough and are accomplished in less time than other forms of treat ment require In producing even doubtful results; employ remedies of my own devising, and my treatment Is equally effective In both recent and chronic cases. Varicose Veins There Is no necessity for surgical operations In the treatment of vari cose veins. This ailment yields completely to my mild and painless method, and results are far better than were ever attained by the harsh and dangerous practice of cutting. But oneiweek is required, and seldom Is It even necessary to detain the patient from his business. Obstructions My treatment is abso'utely painless, and perfect results can be de pended upon in every Instance. I do no cutting or dilating whatever. Specific Blood Poison No dangerous minerals to drive the virus to the Interior, but harm less, blood-cleansing remedies that remove the last poisonous taint.

I will glvs you an absolute guarantee to ours you 4r not charge yoa one oent for my services. The reason hundreds of men today are discouraged Is because they have given no caxe to whom they entrust ed their oase, their precious health. They do not consider the ability, professional standing and reputa tion of the physician or specialist of whom they took treatment, but havs considered far more the fact that by not going to a specialist of ability they could get cheaper treat ment. Such Is not the case, because It requires ability and skill to cure any one of the ailments to which X devote my full time and attention, and the specialist who possesses the ability to cure, gets all the business he osm attend to. If you are today discouraged because you have not been cured It la your own fault. You have no one else to blame but yourself. If you have sought treat ment and are not cured. It is simply because of the fact that you have not thought enough of your health, your life, to pay the pr'ce of a com petent, reliable specialist, who pos sesses the ability neoesaary to cure you. The on thing for any man to consider Is simply this: '1 want to get cured. I must get the ailment conquered before It conquers me."
