pears st the office of Local Inspectors

gence and carelessness In the naviga
tion of the tug. A decision was reached
last night by the Government officers,
following an Investigation at which
the principal members of the crews
of the tug and Henderson testified.
On Inspectors Edward sand Fuller
devolves the production of proof that
Jordan displayed negligence and care
lessness. It not being sufficient that
testimony taken yesterday be passed
on to convict him. A procedure adopted
a year ago by the steamboat Inspec
tion service provides that an Investiga
tion shall be first held and 11 testimony
Is adduced that Indicates one or mora

thst were rock-laden for the Columbia
River Jetty.
Both admitted that the channel at
Bugby's Light was half a mile wide
and each asserted that after the whistle
signals were given helms had' been
put hard aport, which should have car
ried the vessels away from each other.
Instead of bringing them together.
Captain Sullivan testified that when
he saw the Samson and her tow she
wss about a quarter of a mile up
stream. The Henderson and the oil
barge, he said, were about in mid
channel. He ordered one whistle
sounded to Indicate he would hold to
the right or starboard, which the Sam
son answered.
Captain Jordan testified that the col
lision occurred approximately in mid-
channel, while Captain Sullivan said It
waa about 600 feet , from the Oregon
shore. Following a second exchange of
signals both pilots declared that they
held to courses as Indicated by the
first signal. Captain Jordan asserted
that the rock barge on the port side of
the Samson struck the oil barge before
crsshlng Into the Henderson. Pilot
Stayton. of the Henderson, testified
that the Samson did not appear to alter
her course after answering the signal.

Following a denial made Friday that
W. R. Grace & Co. had rechartered the
Norwegian steamer Hornelen, which la
being cleaned and painted on Puget
Sound. It was announced yesterday that
she had been fixed by the McNear ln
teresta and would load lumber at
Eureka for Sydney. The same firm
also took the British tramp Nether
park, which will be given cargo on
Puget Sound or British Columbia. She
sailed July 24 from Newport Ness for
Bremerton with Government coal.
In the last fleet report Issued oy
Frank Waterhouse Co., governing
tha movements of Bank Line steamers
and those taken over from the Portland
and Asiatic service last month, it is
stated that the Norwegian steamer
Henrlk Ibsen, which Is discharging
Oriental cargo at San Francisco, will
cover the August sailing from that

LAMP BLACK MADE INTO FT" EL
Gas Works Erect Plant to Save
Waste on River.
Harbormaster Speler"s campaign
against waste fuel oil floating on the
river in the vicinity of the Portland
Gas Coke Company's plant, at the
foot of Everett street, has borne rruit
through the installation by the com--
oany of a filtering machine, trtrougo
which all water containing lamp black
and oil will be diverted. The process
segregates foreign matter irom tne
water, which la dumped into tha. river
In a clear state, while the lamp black
and other waste Is carried into a tank
from wh'ch It emerges dry and In the
form of black bricks that will be dis
posed of for fuel in. the same manner
aa coal.
A search of the plant and inspection
of all feed-oil pipes was msde yester
day by Harbormaster Speler In quest
of a leak that might be responsible
for fuel oil found there, but all con
nections were in order, and it was con
cluded that the oil found Its way into
the river from a sewer. It has been
the practice at a number of downtown
buildings and manufacturing plants in
North Portland, to dump waste oil Into
sewers. It Is argued that aa much
dAncrer exists from that system aa
I though the material was hauled to
the waterfront and dumped overooara,
as it spreads on the surface and proves
a fire menace. '

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS
Genuine Merit Required to Win tha
People's Confidence
Have von ever stopped to reason why
It la that so many products that are
extensively advertised, all at once drop
out of sight and are soon forgrotten?
The reason is plain the article did not
fulfil the promises of the manufacturer.
This applies more particularly to a
medicine. A medicinal preparation that
has real curative value almost sells it
self, as like an endless chain system
the remedy is recommended by those
who have been curefl, to those who are
in need of It.
In an Interview on the subject a
prominent local druggist says "Take
for example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
a preparation I have sold for many
vears and never hesitate to recommend.
for In almost every case It shows Im
mediate results, as many or my cus
tomers testify. No other kidney rem
edy that I know of has so large a sale."
Tha success of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is due to the fact that, it fulfils
t-erv wish In overcoming- kidney, liver
and bladder diseases, corrects urinary
troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.
A free trial "bottle will be sent by
mail, absolutely free. Address Dr. Kil
mer ei Co.. Blnghamton, N. T.. and

THE C1U-KK DOCTOR,
Lots and lots of powerful and poisonous
drug-a taken internally may seemingly help
the ailment for which they were intended,
but may be very Injurious in some other
way. This is especially true of mercury
in Its rarious forma
Nothing that I u-e can react on th
patient and cause any complications. The
vegetable kingdom furnishes my remedies
in the form of Roots, Herbs. Barks and
Buds. These are gathered from every quar
ter of the world ana administered according
to formulas that have been kept a profound
secret within te families of the Chines
doctors. Unfailing cures are the result of
these remedies. My consultations are free.
Out-of-town patients may send four cents
Jn stamps and secure a consultation blank
and circular. I can diagnose your case
that way.
