HIGH PRAISE GIVEN
Passengers on Bear Like Way
They Are Treated.
RESOLUTIONS ARE ADOPTED
Kimtlt Personnel of Steamer
Complimented for It Courte
ous Attention to Comfort
of All Aboard.
Officers of the "HI Three" fleet, the
Reaver. Bear and Rose City, are on the
ltj! rive for record, either In the way
ef speedy voyages, tlia largest cargo or
passenger Hit or beat showing In a cer
tain period, but to the Bear'a company
has fallen laurels, that were not only
unsought for but came as a surprise. In
the form of resolutions adopted by pas
sengers arriving on her last evening
commending the ship's executive per
sonnel for courteous attention and the
line for Its srrrlce.
Judge John L. Henderson, of Hood
Hirer; Frank Putnam, representing an
Eastern steel corporation: A. t- Moire,
bound for Seattle. Wash- on recrea
tion; E. 1 Bradley, a commercial trav
eler, and Pr. J. N. Powell, constituted
the committee on resolutions and If
there was any paseena-er In the cabin
who failed to affix a signature to the
document It was because he or she was
overlooked. The Bear's staff modestly
explains the mov. by saying that the
voyage waa featured by Ideal condi
tions and that as there were fewer
l-essensrers sraxick than usual, they
overestimated the treatment received.
About ISO made tha trip, which Is an
average list for this season from the
south. Many were tourists coming
from Los Angeles who are returning
Jvast via Northern rail llnea. The of
ficers feel that the Hoar went to sea
at an opportune time, for they escaped
the last southerly blow and when they
crossed Into the river the Indications
were for a another siege of caprlcloua
weather.
J. W. Ransom, general agent of the
Fan Francisco A Portland Steamship
Company, said yesterday that there was
no perceptible falling off In passenger
travel southbound and that the Hear
would have as large a list as on her
last out-bound voyage. As compared
with last season he said that the busi
ness waa heavier for tne same period,
while there waa more cargo offered
than could be accepted.

the marine branch of the fighting force
are strict and only men aa near perfect
as possible are taken.
Lieutenant Toas. In charge of the
station, say 1J men were eniwted last
week, which was the record period
here. Already this k 11 hits been
accepted, and he hopes to make even
a better showing, as the first enlist
ment was made August " and only
four were accepted up to September
li. Mr. Toas estimatea that the results
have been attained In nine weeks.
Of the su rrvsvsful applicants, there
were 11 previous service men who

COAST TOVXAGE IS SCARCE
Small Vee-els Taken for Foreign
Trade and Rates Stiff.
San Francisco advices report the mar
ket cleared of Coast tonnage and rates
are stiff at IS from Puget Sound to San
l'edro and It 60 to San Francisco. In
two days three schooners were taken
for offshore business, the last being the
Wllbert 1. Smith, now at Callao. to
load on Grays Harbor for Valparaiso
at Sis d for orders less Is J to a
direct port. The schooners Eric and
Columbia were the others fixed.
While Portland will lose credit for
two cargoes thts month, as those car
ried by the Washington and Westerner
were reloaded after they got Into
trouble. It Is thought there will be a
large movement to the south. In No
vember. 110. the November shipments
coastwise were 13.334. 00 feet and for
the aame period the preceding year they
were 7.UJ.00O feet. In the offshore
column last November 4.47I.JJ1 feet
was exported and In 1)01 the November
total waa I.2IT.247 feet.

It Is dented that the Washington is
worth 140.000 because she was pur
chased In June for approximately I - 7 .
000 and that figure. It is contended,
reprejrfints her market value.

line, was lifted on the Oregon drydock
last evening and today workmen will
begin tearing away the damaged part

British Bark May Have Foundered.
VANCDITVER. B. 'c. Nor. II. The

Nichols, not having been heard from,
the feeling that disaster haa overtaken
her becomes stronger. The ship Is I0
days out today from Glasgow with car
go for Vancouver and the fact that aha
has not been reported since May IT
gives rise to the belief that she, has
foundered.

country, for the next two weeks. Accord

for both unfavorable conditions. Further
more, there were circumstantial assertions
of tha spread of black rust In central por

From other sources, however, came stated
menu that a record yield was still expected.
In like manner a promise of small world

County Asked to Levy Tag but It la
Refused by Commissioners.
A committee of 50 old soldiers,
headed by H. H. Northup and T. B.
McDevitt, Sr.. yesterday waited on tho
County Commissioners and County
Judge Cleeton with a request that they
. hereafter add from one-thlrtleth to
one-tenth of a mill to the tax levy
and turn over the money so realised
to the Grand Army post commanders In
bulk to be used by them as discretion
may direct and without check on tho
part of the county in the relief of in
digent soldiers and sailors.
The Commissioners, through Judge
Cleeton. replied that they do not con
sider that the Northup act. providing
for such a levy. Is mandatory and said
that they intend to carry out the pres
ent policy of assisting Indigent soldiers
and sailors from the' general fund,
whenever Investigation proves that as
sistance is necessary.
Mr. McDevitt objected to such In
vestigation, declaring that the County
Court should not put "policemen on
our tracks." Judge Cleeton explained
that the cases are investigated the
same as others and that they are given
Impartial treatment. Some members of
the committee took exception to the
statement.
The Northup act. providing for the
levy of from one-thlrtleth to one-tenth
of a mill was passed several years ago
but the tax haa never been levied In
Multnomah County.

CLERKS HEAR GIPSY SMITH
Meier Frank Bmployes Are Ad
dressed bjr Evangelist.
More than 1000 employes of the
Meier & Frank Company gathered on
the second floor of the department store
at o'clock yesterday and listened to
Gipsy Smith, who had come In response
to a special Invitation from tha man
agement of the store.
"This is the first time In the history
of my ministry." said the evangelist,
"that I have received such an invita
tion and It Is the first time that I have
been permitted to aaaress sucn an aa
semly in such surroundings. I believe
that this meeting will make history in
the world and that it will open the
way for other meetings like it In other
cities that I may visit.
Gipsy Smith spoke briefly, saying
that he knew his hearers were weary
with their day's work and that he did
For Your Hair
Here Are Fact We Want You
to Prove at Our Risk
Marvelous aa it may seem, Rexall
93" Hair Tonic has grown hair on
heads that were once bald. Of course
It Is understood that In none of these
cases were the hair roots dead nor bad
the scalp taken on a glazed, shiny ap
pearance. When the roota of the hair are en
tirely dead and the pores of the scalp
are glazed over, we do not believe that
anything can restore hair growth. '
When Rexall "93" Hair Tonic will do
as above stated, it Is not strange that
we have such great faith In it and that
we claim it will prevent baldness when
used In time. It acts scientifically, de
stroying the germs which are usually
responsible for baldness. It penetrates
to the roots of the hair, stimulating
and nourishing them. It Is a most
pleasant toilet necessity, is delicately
perfumed and will not gum nor per
manently stain the hair.
We want you to get a bottle of
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic and use it as
directed. If It does not relieve scalp
Irritation. ' remove dandruff, prevent
the hair from falling out and promote
an Increased growth of hair and in
every way give entire satisfaction, sim
ply come back and tell us and with
out question or formality we will hand
back to you every penny you paid us
for It.
Wo lend our' indorsement to Rexall
"93" Hair Tonic and sell it on this
guarantee, because we believe it is the
best hair tonic ever discovered. It
comes in two sizes, prices 60 cents and
31.00.

not wish to keep them. He urged them
to take God into their work with them,
declaring that in no other way can a

"I' want to leave with you," he said,
in closing, "the very best thing I have

SALE OF SITES LEGAL
FIRE STATION' PROPERTY MAY
BE SOL.D, IS RtLIXG.
Saanyside Locations Probably to Be
Disposed Of and Other Selected
by- Fire Committee.
Despite the Ziegler charter amend
ment providing against the sale of city
property. Acting City Attorney Tom
llnson declares fire station sites can be
sold by the city If desired. Mr. Tomlln
son yesterday handed down an opinion
to the fire committee of the Executive
Board, which probably will mean the
sale of the present building and site of
the Sunnyslde fire station, at East
Thirty-fifth and Belmont streets, and
the proposed new site at East Thirty
fourth and Taylor streets. The fire
committee, after investigation, has
fourfd that neither site is suitable for
the purposes of the station and the
right of the city to sell the sites was
put up to the City Attorney. It is the
intention now to sell both of the Sun
nyslde sites and secure one which will
be central.
Mr. Tomllnson declares that the Zieg
ler amendment prevents the 'sale of
wharves, parks and other public prop
erty, but does not mention fire station
property. The amendment enumerates
a list of city property not to be sold
and apparently attempts to cover the
whole field by adding at the end of the
list, "and other public property."
"The courts have held." said Mr.
Tomllnson, "that "other public prop
erty' would pertain to other public
property of a like nature to the classes
of public property enumerated.
Section z of the charter provides for
the sale of any public property for the
good of the city and bears as much
weight as the section which has been
amended.
"The fire committee desires to sell
either one or both of these Sunnyslde
tracts and as It Is for the good of the
city. I can see nothing to prevent the
sale."
The Sunnyslde fire station problem
has come to be decidedly bothersome to
the fire committee on account of the
poor character of the proposed site on
East Taylor street. The architect who
drafted plans for a station building re
ported that because of the hollow in
the center of the station site a great
deal of additional expense will be nec
essary to build the station. Several
unsuccessful attempts were made to
draft plans for a building which could
be constructed at a figure within the
appropriation.
The committee will consider the
problem at a special meeting next
Tuesday night at the City Hall.
Purchase Forced on Man.
Bowery methods of salesmanship, con
sisting of dragging unwilling purchas
ers Into a store and forcing them to
trade, are charged against a concern
at 134 North Sixth street, by August
Mahillon, who laid his case before
Patrolman Lasalle yesterday. Mahillon
says he was passing the store when
someone called him Inside. Then he
was asked how much money he had,
and when he displayed 7 a clerk took
ft out of his hand and thrust a suitcase
upon him. The policeman accompanied
Mahillon to the place, where, while the
TO GET RID OF
RHEUMATISM
If we suffer with Rheumatism and
3esire to get rid of it we must make
up our minds to subject our systems
to the proper course of treatment for
a while. The only way to cure
Dneself of Rheumatism Is to remove
the cause expel the irritating; uric
acid from the blood; every other
method of treatment has proved a
failure. S. S. S. cures Rheumatism
because it is the greatest of all blood
purifiers. This medicine goes down
into the circulation and expels every
particle of the sour, inflammatory
uric acid which is the one great cause,
of the disease. The cure can be
greatly hastened by a little care and
self denial by the patient. In the
first place do not let anything inter
fere to prevent your taking S. S. S.
regularly and according to directions;
be guarded in your eating, because
an attack of indigestion will always
aggravate the symptoms of Rheuma
tism. Do not expose yourself to
damp and inclement weather any
more than is necessary. When S. S. S.
has had time to rid the blood of the
uric acid and strengthen the system,
then these little restrictions can be
left off. This simple course has cured
many thousand? of cases of Rheuma
tism. Book on Rheumatism and any
medical advice free. S. S. S. is sold
at drug stores.
