Since the comple tion of the rail line between H!!lboro and Tillamook, through which direct connections can be made to and from Portland, there baa been a decrease tn passenger travel by water. Purine the Winter season steamers hare difficulty completing- more t!-.an one round trVp a week because of the condition of Tilla mook bay entrance. Passengers are carried at low fare, considering that t.iey are not charged extra for meals and berth, and when the t'lmtri are barbound for a few days profit are llirht. When the Golden Cat arrived Saturday she ha 1 been away from port more than a week. She sustained damac-e crossing the Tilla mook bar and 1 now on the Oregon drydock to have repair made to her keel and other work done, as h leaked slightly. It l expected that ehe will be floated today and sail tomor row. WASHIVCTOX'S CREW HEARD lnrrctor May Ciet Testimony aa to Condition of Rar. That the steamer Washington reached the south channel buy before she shipped any water and would have passed out to sea without danger or damage had her machinery r.ot broken down, was the opinion her officer ex pressed yesterday to I .oca! Inspectors Edwards and Fuller. The Investigation was closed except that additional evi dence may be aouirht In the way of expert oplrlons from masters of other vessels beW In the lower harbor a week (to Sunday. Th officer swore that alt went well until near the buoy In question, when a sea carried away a portion of the deckload and soon after the engine topped. presumably because a line caught in her vhrrL Second Officer J. H. F. Slelnfort testified that yester day morning he had used a plkepole about the wheel while th steamer was at Supple's dock, and that the pole came In contact with what seemed to be a line wound In the propeller.

Although but a few days" prepara tion was allowed th crew of the cruis er Maryland in recent target practice off San Dietro. following five months' Idleness at Mare Island, where tho war ship was undergoing repairs, the gun ners mid upward of 7 per cent of hits with the port six-Inch guns In night ftnng. In one Instance they scored It hits out of 19 shots at th rate of over seven hits a minuter It is said to be the record for the year In six-Inch gun work, and credit fills largely on Cap tain J. M. Elllcott. her commander, who was formerly inspector of tho local lighthouse, district. From what haa been heard since the fleet arrived at San Francisco to pro per for the Western cruise, it is doubtful If the Pacific coterie will re raptara the gunnery trophy this year. At day practice the Colorado Is report ad to have made ii per cent of hits with her eight-Inch guns. That is th best showing of th season with that caliber of gun. STARK STREET IS SCOCKKD Veteran Grapplrr Watches River Cut Away Sediment. Hugh Prady. th municipal grappler. who attributes bis success in recover ing bodies and property lost from docks largely to the study and knowledge of currents, said that from measurements taken yesterday, the collection of sedi ment at the foot of Stark atreet had been washed out to a depth of 18 Inches since the river began rising about a week ago. Ho says th cur rent and wash from river steamers will continue to cut down th bank until gravel Is reached. I'ntll last season a number of scows and boathousea wer moored between htark and Oak street and Brady holds that their presence caused the river there to fill, th eddy not being as trong a at present because the stream flows freely. The) removal f debris that pile up at that point will tend to eliminate many disagreeable odors that wer noticeable in the low water period.

She came up to th mouth of the Co lumbia Klver a week ago Sunday night, at the tlm the steamer Washington was In trouble, but the gale was so strong she could not venture In.

Word of th bade' position wa telegraphed her on Fri day afternoon and that evening th tug Gollah left to pick up the vessel. The weather wa thick at th tlm and Captain Manter had some diffi culty In finding the craft, but placed a hawser on board her about 10 o'clocq Sunday morning. The Crocodile was In no Immediate danger, although with the stiff gal blowing It would undoubtedly have been some time before she could have worked her way off shore without as sistance.

The "wet" interests are beginning to be slightly apprehensive as to the flnal result of the city election which will be held In Salem early In Decem ber. At this election eight Council men are to be selected, one from every ward except the Second where two Councilmen are to be named. The fact that a number of those nominated at the recent prlmariea are avowedly In favor of "dry" principles, makea it possible that the Council will be at least evenly divided as to wet and "dry" with a chance of the "drys" having a small majority. While It is considered doubtful under the home rule amendment whether It would be possible for a dry Council ty put the saloons out of business, there Is a possibility of regulation, which might cause considerable difficulty.

DRS. iVii il-a-ll M D.The Leading Specialist - specialists not excepted, are attempt ing to overcome it by methods that have been in constant use and have always failed for half a century. They dose the system with powerful stimu lants and tonics, calculated to restore nervous force or strength that Is not and never has been lacking, with the result that the functions are tempo rarily excited to the positive detriment cf the patient. Weakness is only a symptom resulting from many local conditions and is curable by local treatment only, without the giving of a single internal dose, which demon strates the absolute accuracy of my understanding and treatment of this disorder. In years I have not met with a single failure and I have entire confidence in my ability to cure all cases that come to me for treatment. I am equally certain that no treatment other than that which I have perfect ed can completeiy and permanently rertore strength and vigor. NO MONEY REQUIRED TO COM MENCE TREATMENT. Many patients have no confidence In their doctor, be cause he demands pay before a cure has been effected and there are many who have been misinformed about iheir condition or through unsuccessful treatment have become skeptical and chink there is no cure for them. I want an opportunity to treat such men. It makes no difference about the financial part, as I accept pay for my services as benefits are derived; when I am satisfied the patient Is re liable. Health Is capital at Interest.
