than the subsidised Japanese fleets.
had Toluntarlly offered Portland ship
per s rates In conformity with those
applying on carriers flying the Nippon
flae.
Hut th Portland Asiatic Steamship
Company Is apparently standing fast.
Oeneral Aaent Itansom said yesterday
that no concerted move had been made
by the American and Canadian lines
to meet the cut that he had been ap
prised of. but that It was expected a
meeting would be held son to Octer-

Ibsen will nrt be In port until April
and by that time the rate cutting may
have ended.
Ili-d action I Fore -limltmcd.
One loi-al shipper says that fully a
month leu he knew tariffs were being
shaded, because lie bid on wheat tor
Japan delivery, his figure belnc based
on rullni; Quotations for the cereal here
with the ocean rate added, and he waa
informed by cable that his tender waa

It la said that storks of wheat on
I'uBt found that are preferred for
the Japanese market have rapidly di
minished, while in Portland there are
several thousand tons of that kind, and
with more that could be drawn hurried
ly from the country. It Is estimated
rouchly that about 10.004 tuna could be
moved.
Uarr Loral It a tea In riwpcct.
But even In the face of ratea yes
terday quoted by northern lines. It Is
said that the rati local from I'ortland
would cut Fronts so that It waa not
thought advisable to move the cereal,
particularly aa there are prospects for
lower rates here with the I'ortland
Asiatic and Waterhouse fleets operat-Ina-
Marine men regard the rate 'cutting
as something that could be made dis
astrous for the Japanese If the trans
continental rail lines Interested In
steamers the Canadian 1'acine. Great
Northern and Hartman sysfms would
refuse to move transcontinental freight
routed via the Nipixn fleets. Without
the Eastern consignments the Japanese
would suffer In a short time, even
though they got full cargoes of Coast
shipments so long aa the wbeat and
flour demand continues.
JI. IIACKIfXP IS CIIARTKRED
Another Lumber Cargo Going to
Vnltrd Kingdom.
Following chartering of the German
pc.lp Wllr.elmlne here to load lumber for
the 1'ntted Kingdom, and the taking of
the British eMp Holt Hill to load on
luget Sound, tonnage clcee at bund waa
regarded cleared on the Coast. Hut an
other carrVr baa been found by the
American Trading Company, the German
bark II. llackfel.I. which will load lum
ber here for London on a rate of
ahUtlngm. The llackfeld sailed from
Hamburg November it for Honolulu.
The fart there la r.o spot grain tonnage
Is tot disconcerting to exporters, who
continue to refuel to charter on prevail
ing market conditions. The Wtlhelrolne
waa offered freely for grain, and with no
weens. It la believed that the height
of the grain export eeason Nut been
reached and that ahlle there will be a
few straggling ships to close the year,
March and April will probably have the
largest number of carriers. In March.
11 but one of the rmln fleet cleared
and In April there were four. May having
one and June none. This year March
will get credit for at least three and
with the Natad In. there may be four.
If the Hf.t -ti steamer k!pton arrives
early from A in Franc laco and geta good
dispatch there U be a decidedly better
sr.oalng.
MAXCI1VRIA SHIPMENTS END
Japanese Are? Buying Heavily Here
Ret-an1 ot Plague.
Plague conditions In Manchuria, which
brought about a cessation of wheat ship
menus, thereby compelling Japan to look
elsewhere for Immense stocks are given
as the reason for the unusual heavy
buying of cereals tn the Pacific North
west. It waa declared yesterday In ex
porting circles that the plague epidemic
waus principally responsible for the situa
tion, and not a war scare or the famine
In China.
It baa been held by tome that the
movement of wheat and flour vm not
out of the ordinary and that It was
rmtural consequence at time when
prices were low. To the Japanese was
credited a shrewd commercial instinct
In taking up stocks when quotations were
near the bottom, but late reports seem
to explain the problem as originating In
the stoppage of Manchurlan wheat
stocks. Hurera are endeavoring to gather
wbeat In the Interior, where supplies
of ronstderaMe site are he!.!, and much
fa renorted moving to Pliget Sonnd for
Far Eastern delivery. Locally, as much
f'.our aa ran be carried is offered.

IS
Devoid of Thorns It May Be
Used in Eastern Oregon. !
LUTHER BURBANK AT WORK
Special Representative of O.-W. R. &
X. Co. Expects to See "Wlxard"
Perfect Plant So It Will
Grow for Cattle Here.
Prickly pear thorned cactus, devoid
of the thorns and retaining the fine
flavor and wholesomeness of the desert
plant, may be used to redeem the arid
region of Eastern Oregon for stock-
K..-nn.A. IS the efforts of L.U-
ther Burbank. the well-known Califor
nia plant wixaru, ana mo cu-oyci
of the trafTic department of the O.-W.
H. & N. Co. prove successful.
A. A. Morse, special reprcst-ntatle
of the traffic department, who has
charge of the company's agrlcultu-t!
experiments in this state, has Just te
turned from Santa Koha. Cal.. where
he conferred with Mr. Burbank on the
progress he has made In his experi
ments with the cactua .In the last two
years. While he has succredel In de
veloping a perfect plant without the
obnoxious thorns, that thrives well In
r-.nAA.i- . K nni 'ldpn able to
.harden It so that It will withst ind the
more rigorous Winters ot Oregon.
Burbank Is Confident.
However, Mr. Burbank Is fully con
fident that he can so develop the plant
that It will grow with ease In Oregon
soil.
Mr. Burbank started his experiments
with the prickly pear cactus several
years ago with the Idea of removing
the objectlonal thorn. By previous
tests he had learned that the meat of
the plant Itself was extremely whole
some and nourishing and that It had
particularly valuable qualities for sus
taining and fattening livestock. His
method In bringing about a plant that
had no thorns was to remove a small
section of "pear" which contained no
thorns on the outside and plant it In
the ground. As the seed Is contained
Inside the "fruit" In the pulp, this
small section took root and rapidly
sprouted. It contained fewer t'.iorns
than the parent plant. Again he re
moved a thornless block and planted It.
The result was a plant with still fewer
thorns. By a series of such practices,
he finally developed a plant entirely de
void of thorns.
Morse Visits "Wizard."
Two years ago last Agust about the
time that the "wlxard" eliminated
thorns the first time Mr. Morse called
at the Burbank experimental tract In
Santa Rosa.
"Will your thornless cactus grow tn
Oregon T" Mr. Morse asked.
"How cold does It get there?"
"Fourteen below Is the coldest."
"No. It won't grow In a place colder
than 18 above.- Come back In four
years and I'll give you one that will."
Although the four year period has
not yet expired. Mr. Morse felt tempted
to call upon Mr. Burbank when he was
In California Inst week In charge of a
special excursion of Tacoma tourists.
The "wizard" admitted that his experi
ments to produce a hardier cactua had
not succeeded In the wsy that he ex
pected they would, yet he has not driven
up. He will continue. his tests and be
lieves that when the four years rj up
he will be able to deliver to Oregon a
perfected plant that will thrive any
where In the state at all seasons of the
year.
When once such a plant Is started.
It grows rspldly and Increases almost
without attention. Cattle can eat It
from the plant. It will not be neces
sary first to cut It off and prepare It
for them. The thornless variety
grows with a thin shell that can easily
be masticated and digested by live
stock of any kind. In Southern Cali
fornia and Arizona, where stock Is fed
upon It, the animals prefer this to ell
other kinds of food. They fatten read
ily and produce a superior variety of
beef.
The fruit also is used for domestlo
purposes. Farmers prepare It for their
table and use It for desserts, preserves
and In preparing various delicate
dishes. An excellent candy also is
made from It.
Mr. Morse's report of Mr. Burbank's
experiments are so nattering that the
traffic, officials here are figuring upon
Introducing it on the Eastern Oregon
deserts within the next two years.

Thorough Cures
The Leading Specialist.
Many doctors call a suppression
of symptoms a cure. Some dose
for drug effects and then claim
that nothing more can be done.
But the real ailment remains and
will bring the symptoms back
again, perhaps the same as before,
or perhaps modified in some man
ner. My treatment is effective In
completely removing the ailment,
because it goes to the very source
of the cause. It searches out ev
ery root and fiber of the ailment
and thus effects a REAL CURE
one that is permanent. The thor
oughness of my methods in treat
ing men's ailments has brought
cures where others fail, has en
abled me to promise much with
certainty of furfilling every prom
ise and has rewarded me with pre
eminence in the medical field and
with, the largest practice of its
kind In the West.
