Cutting of Prices Attributed to
Reduction Made to Jane

CORBETT DEFENDS ACTION
Move by 1'ort, lie Says, May Drive
from Portland Concern That Is
of Two-Fold IWneflt In
. Time of 'eceMi j.
That a reduction of 15 per cent
asreed to with the owners of the bar
kentine Jane 1. Stanford In drydocklng
that vessel, after she arrived In the
Columbia In a helpless condition after
having struck on Grays Harbor bar,
. was Justifiable ami entirely within the
rights of the Oregon Drydock t om
puny was the expressed view of W. IL
Oorbett. president of that corporation.
last night, when he was toid that the
committee of 60 had In Ita possession
the original contract.
Captain Albert Crowe and others who
know of the contract attribute the
slashing of tariffs 5') per cent by the
1'ort of Portland Commission to the
fact the Oregon drydock had made con
cessions. Among smaller or Individual
contractors engaged In ship repairs the
reduction was a general topic yester
day, while among members of the Com
mission It wsa regarded as an excellent
advertisement for the port and a move
that unquestionably would bring busi
ness.
Corbelt Defend Contract.
'There Is this about the contract re
garding the Jane I. Stanford." said
Mr. Corbett. "When the 1'ort of Port
land announced a reduction of 15 per
cent recently to all firms that would
do 15000 worth of business on the pub
lic drydock during a year, we figured
that our patronage of that plant would
equal the amount at least, and should
we have fallen short we would have
had to make tip the deficiency out of
our pockets. We advertised the public
drydock in connection with our plant
all over the country, and now we prob
ably have to take chances on getting
business for our plant when the other
dock Is busy. Disabled ships, which
provide the main patronage of a dry-
dock, are creatures of calamity, and
the fact that low rates are effective
does not mean that business will In
crease. "We cannot reduce rates on the Ore-
iron drydock and break even, for the
revenue Just about pays running ex
penses. I feel that members of the
Commission have permitted their Judg
ment to be warped by statements of
outsiders and that they have not given
the situation reasonable consideration.
Benefit Is Two-IYdd.
"This move may tend to bankrupt
the Oregon Drydock Company and drive
away from the port an Industry that
works a two-fold benefit, for In gain
ing business and thereby keeping up
the plant In the Interest of the stock
holders. It affords Portland two dry
nocks and at times, like the past two
Weeks, when three disabled vessels
were In the harbor. It means that ves
sels will be subject to no delay and
they can be headed for sea again
-without having to await turns to be
lifted."
The Oregon drydock has only one
rontract in prospect, that of lifting
tne revenue cutter Manning-, which Is
to be done today. Besides wort on the
lug McCraken. which starts next week.
the Port or Portland drydock may se
cure the work of raising the wrecked
steamer Yucatan, recently sold, and
which may be brought here. The new
rates go Into effect Monday, and It
has not been decided whether the Ore
gon drydock will make any cut.
FRESHET'S FKClLIAn WHIMS
Tpper Willamette Rising at Few
Points and Falling at Others.
Captain A. TV. Graham, of the Tel
low Stack Line, who has watched the
Willamette River for years, having
been operating aa asr south as Cor
vallis. yesterday characterized the
prevent freshet as the most peculiar
'lie nas Known, because reports from
Jr.ugene indicated that the stream was
falling, while at Peoria It rose one foot
during the night and at Albany It was
practically at a standstill.
"I feel that the danger Is past at

there being numerous logs that ap
peared to have broken from booms,
while large trees and considerable
smaller stun! floated. There waa a
small scow sighted shortly before noon,
but It passed the bridges without harm.
In anticipation of the water covering
the lower decks of docks, heavy plank

down the decking and several of the
steamboat concerns have moved to tip

sion that they can return next week.
CEIM REPRESENTS FX PORTERS
Shanghai Company Will 'Equal Big
Bulne.a or La.t Year.
Werner Gelm is due In Portland Feb
ruary 1 to represent the China import
A Export Lumber Company, succeeding
K. Schulxe. manager and prn?ial stock
holder of the corporation, who will re
turn to Shanghai to direct Its affairs.
Mr. chulze mill depart toduy for San
Francisco to be absent a few days, and
on his return he expects to Journey to
tVattle to meet and introduce Mr. Gelm
to mill interests.
During 1310 the company shipped 50.
OAorO feet of lumber from Portland and
thereby gained the distinction of being
the heaviest Individual exporter on the
Coast. Even In the face of higher
freights, which Mr. Schulxe says range
from S to 3o per cent above those of last
year, he feels that 1!U1 will prove as
good a season for lumber and that his
company will handle not less from Port
land than In 1910. The scarcity of early
steam tonnage Is a problem being dealt
with, as there were only three vessels
available January 1. the British steamer
Northumbrl. which the company fixed
Thursday for March loading here, the
lirltish steamer Knight of St. George,
taken by the Waterhouse Interests, and
the Norwegian steamer TordenskgoH.
rhlcli baa also been chartered for biisl-
nm outside of Portland.
There are vessels on the way arovnd
the .Horn, but thry will not be available
for from six weeka to two months. It la
the Impression that the fleet on the way
to Coast ports will provide sufficient
tonnage for the busy Summer aeason
and exporters can so guard their Inter
ests as to provide transportation for Fa'.l
delivery.

BULLETS END BLISS
Husband Whose Wife Shoots
at Him Divorced.
ONE HONEYMOON FLEETING
Only Three Weeks or Happy Life
Vouchsafed to nrldc Weeping
Woman Says "Thank You"
When Bonds Are Severed.
Being rather doubtful of his continued
ability to catch leaden bullets In his
teeth, Barney Metzger. who charges that
his wife is given to enforcing domestic
discipline with a revolver, sought safety
in the divorce mill of the Circuit Court,
yesterday afternoon.
Mrs. Metzger was not at all chary about
using her weapon, the husband com
plained. She opened fire on him two
months ago at a First-street Jewelry
shop m-here the hunbnnd Is employed.
He says lie greeted his wife In the most
friendly way when she entered the door,
but that she unceremoniously opened tire
on him. He dodged four or five bullets
before being struck. One ball drove
through a partition and struck a cus
tomer of 'an adjoining restaurant In tho
nana. .
Housework Left Undone.
This was not Metzger's one grievance.
His wife, he said, had an abject horror
or housework and would not take care
of their apartments properly. They were
married In Oregon City a year ago. I
was the fourth or fifth venture for each
of them. The divorce was granted.
The court severed seven other binding
matrimonial knots In half an hour.
Bertha Sproat secured a divorce from
Dr. James Sproat. a practicing physl
clan, because he has failed to support
her properly. "The very furniture in
our home Is not paid for." she said.
"Three weeks" was the title of the
little domestic tragedy In the Wheeler
household. Mrs. Harland Wheeler said
that she was wedded to Harland at
Seattle last June. They lived together
Just 21 days and then the husband began
paying attention to other women and re
maining away from her altogether. She
accused him of Infidelity and lie ad'
mltted it was quite true, she said.
Vernon E. Scott told a story that
marked him as the veteran of many do
mestic battles. He wedded Ethel Scott
five years ago, and no sooner was the
ceremony over than her amiable, cooing
disposition changed to ono calculated to
drive terror into the heart of the average
man, so he testified. He got a divorce.
Alblna Pilzcr wept bitterly In telling
of the beating that had been inflicted
upon her by Fritz Pllzer. a -mechanic.
They were married 17 years ago. She
got the divorce and said "thank you."
L. E. Duck was divorced from Mary
Duck because she has not been home
for a long time; Mrs. Theresa Jackson
obtnlned a decree against S. C. Jackson
for the same reason, and John ZsyczaK,
a Pole, was divorced from nis wire.
Maria, who likes Warsaw better than
Portland and refuses to come here to
live with him. They have one little
son, who is with tne mother.
BOSSUET HELPED BY STORM
Celtic Glen Starts Up and Pierre
Antonlnc Leaves.
Southerly winds that wrottght havoc
with vessels heading Into them made
smooth suiting for the French bark Bos-
suet, as she yesterday crossed into the
Columbia at noon, six days after passing
between San' Francisco heads. The voy
age is by no means among the record
breakers.
The Bossuet was here In April, 1910,
and cleared April 27 for Newcastle, with
1.505.622 feet of lumber. She comes this
time to load wheat for Glrvln & Eyre.
The British ship Celtic Glen, which ar
rived Thursday from Callao, left up yes
terday morning and Is due at Llnnton
early today to discharge ballast and pre
pare for wheat loading. The Bossuet
will be at the ballast dock early In the
week. On the way here the Celtic Glen
passed the French bark Pierre Antonlne,
hlch left the harbor in tow or tne
Ocklahama and was met by the tug
Wallula. towing the Britisher, a transfer
being made on the lower river.
The Balmoral shirteu yesteraay aner-
noon from Linn ton to Montgomery dock
No. 2. where she will begin loading wheat
Monday. The Miml will take on suffi
cient wheat today at the North Bank
dock to serve as ballast and she will
shift across the river, while the Bayard
will resume loading today at Oceania

Attorney John F. Logan, representing
Kelly, advised the court that It was
merely another "ground squabble" case.
Oddly enough Judge McGinn was prose-
uting attorney at the time the Thayer
eclslon was made In a case McGinn
had prosecuted, and the findings of the
Supreme Court Justice were quite at
variance .with the views then held by
the proseoutlng officer.

MORGAN INDORSES PLAN
Aldrlch Monetary System Would
Release Idle Millions.
NEW YORK, Jan. 20. A statement
Issued from the office of J. P. Morgan
A Co. by Henry P. Davison, of that
firm, gives the Aldrlch currency re
form pian the most enthusiastic in
dorsement it has received from any
notable Wall-street source.
The statement iej as follows:
"Senator Aldrlch's plan Is admirably
effective and simple. In the framing
of the bill there may be various de
tails to work out. but the essential
thing is that the proposal as made is
well fitted to all conditions and to all
sections of the United States.
' "This plan Is representative and most
equitable. Each institution In the
United States would have fair repre
sentation and opportunity to avail it
self of the advantages of the Reserve
Association. In the second place, the
association is so safeguarded as to be
free from control by any special in
terest and the supervising officers will i
not be' subject to political influences.
"Such a plan as Senator Aldrlch has
outlined gives, mobility to some thir
teen or fourteen hundred million dol
lars now lying Idle in bank vaults.
The plan for assuming the note Issues
of banks Is one which 'cannot fail to
appeal to all National bank officers."

where In Oregon.
BAKER. Or., Jan. 20. (Special.) A.
S. Ashley, publicity manager of the
Baker Commercial Club, Is the origina
tor of a unique lecture tour, planned
In the Interests of Oregon. In the early
Spring Mr. Ashley expects to start on
the trip, which will be made entirely by
automobile, extending as far east as
Philadelphia and which will take about
six or eight months.
Two machines will be especially fitted
for the long Journey. A stereoptlcon
and moving-picture machine will form
the most Impormnt part of the outfit.
Illustrated lectures will be given on
Oregon. A supply of literature will b9
carried, along for distribution.
At each lecture Mr. Ashley will secure
the names of those interested in Ore
gon and will forward these names from
place to place to the Commercial Clubs.
The Panama-Pacific International Ex
position at San Francisco is much in
terested in this trip and the special rep
resentative who has been in Portland
for some time-has taken the matter up
with his people and no doubt arrange
ments will be made with Mr. Ashley to
include a lecture on San Francisco,
which would work in harmony with tho
lecture on Oregon.
Mr. Ashley returned a few days ago
from Portland where he made some pre
liminary arrangements for the long trip
and is greatly pleased over the co-op
eration promised by the officials of the
O.-W. R. & N. Co. and the- promotion
department of the Portland Commercial
Club.
Mr. Ashley Is considered well quali
fied for conducting this lecture tour.

DUE TO DISEASED BLOOD
Every symptom of an old sore sug
gests diseased blood. The inflamma
tion, discharge, discolored flesh, and
the fact that local applications have
no permanent effect toward healing1
the ulcer, shows that deep down in
the system there is a morbid cause for
the sore. But more convincing proof
that bad blood is the cause for these
places is furnished by the fact that
even removing the sore or ulcer by
surgical operation does not cure; they
always return. Nature will heal any
sore if the blood is pure aud healthy,
but until the circulation is cleansed
of all impure matter and supplied
with nourishing and plasmic qualities
the infected condition of flesh is

Many doctors call a suppression
of symptoms a cure. Some dose

ner. My treatment la effectual In
