ment That City's Trade to Ori
ent Does Sot Warrant
More Steamers.
Apparently the trade between Port
- land and Oriental harbors Is not so un
desirable as the move of the Portland
Asiatic Company Indicated in dispos
ing of Its Interest In charters covering
four steamers to the Waterhouse Inter
ests, alleging that tbe business does not
warrant the operation of two lines.
A. 8. Mlhara. of Seattle, a director in
the Nippon Tusen Kaisha. the Japanese
' Mall Steamship Company. Limited,
reached Portland Sunday night and Is
Investigating Portland territory with
a view to reporting to his associates on
the outlook for establishing a direct
Una of steamers from Portland to the
Far East.
The N. T. K as the corporation Is
known the world over, haa a fleet of
about lOS vessels, which Includes many
types, from coasters In service on the
Japanese coast to some of tha
finest carriers engaged In the trans
Pari He trade. At present a line Is
maintained from Puget Sound to the
Orient and Manila In conjunction with
the Great Northern Steamship Com
pany, and the latter Interests also take
rare of rail shipments overland han
dled by the Japanese service.
It Is said that in the agreement be
tween the Japanese and the Great
Northern there are no features that
prevent the former from naming Port
land as the terminus of another steam
ship service and that surh a step would
be governed principally by local condi
tions, the prospects for obtaining
transcontinental shipments and whether
a suitable division of trade with that
now handled could be brought about.
Portland shippers will not ally them
selves with a service that provides for
routing via Puget Sound, which Is tha
objection against the schedule main
tained by Frank Waterhouse A Co, be
cause. It Is argued, longer time la re
quired for deliveries, owing to the de
lay of discharging and loading In the
North, consignees pay Interest longer
on drafts drawn on bills of lading. In
surance on cargo Is greater and the
system generally works a hardship on
the port.
It la believed that If a direct line
was operated and by Interests not con
nected with the rati lines, the llr
rlman roads might be Induced to glvs
It support and not route all transcon
tinental business through San Fran
cisco, which, they maintain, la the only
gateway of the Pad tie for their reve

What steps will be taken by grain
for the United Kingdom with wheat,
the British steamer Celtlo King for
Dunkirk via San Kranclaco with 15 -040
bushels of wheat worth $125 442
and 17.5: pounds of tallow valued at
exporters on the waterfront to offset I ' . . r r"n rrar wh 800,000 feet
the lees of IS cents on every ton of
wheat loaded. If It is decided that ship
owners shall pay IS cents Instead of $0
cents- now charged, la discussed In ma
rine circles, and by some It Is believed
that a wharfage charge will be
adopted, through which vessels will pay
on tha basis of their net registered
tonnage.
Wharfage la free In Portland, but
when vessels are lying Idle waiting for
business or undergoing extensive re
pair a fee la exacted. When loading
they are taxed for the coat of handling
rargo. un ruget bound a charge la
made for vessels nslng buoys when In
the stream, and at San Francisco
wharfage Is demanded, so that If tha
additional expense le shouldered by
veeaele coming here the move will not
be an Innovation. At the same time,
exporters do not expect to lose the 12
t ents, and will continue to oppose own
ers' demands that they pay for grain
loading only what the stevedores are
paid. IS cents, and that the t centa for
trucking and 1 cents for commissions
be eliminated.

JULES GOMMES IN REVOLT
Skipper Pars 18 Cents for Loading
and Leaves Harbor Today.
Captain Thonmlre, master of ths
French ship Jules Gommes, also went
on record yesterday as opposed to ths
payment of 80 cents a ton for loading
wheat, by liquidating to the McCabe
Company on the basis of 18 cents a ton,
as a consequence of which It is ex
pected that libel proceedings will be
Instituted against the vessel to collect
It centg per ton additional alleged to be
due. Ths Gommes has arranged for a tow
boat so she can leave the harbor at 8
o'clock this morning, and If libeled she
will be boarded by a deputy United
8tates Marshal at Astoria
The Gommes cleared yesterday for
Queenstown, Falmouth or Plymouth for
orders and has aboard 122,324 bushels
of wheat, valued at $103,000. Like the
Cambrian Chieftain, which also paid at
the rate of !$ cents and was libeled.
and ths Invercoe, over which the con
troversy began, the Gommes was dis
patched by A. Berg. W. C. Bristol rep
resents the owners of the Gommes, ths
Soclete Bayonnalse de Navigation, and
la prepared to file a bond to release ths
vessel.
It Is said that when the cases are
heard the defense will Introduce testi
mony to the effect that the rate of SO
cents, held by the exporters to be a
regular charge and a "custom of the
port." was not established through a
resolution adopted by the Chamber of .
Commerce. Irrespective of their flags,
it appears certain that all owners will
oppose tha exaction of the SO-cent tariff
and the move will be to have all cases
decided In advance of the new grain I
season so they may be governed In
drawing charter parties for the 1912
13 season.

In offering my services to the afflicted I am giving you
the BEST that can be had anywhere. My reputation and

to convince the most skeptical that I am the FOREMOST

KIDNEY AND BLADDER.
With these diseases you may have
more complications than are presented
by any other disease. By my
searching Illumination of ths bladder I
determine accurately the disease and
by microscopic examination and urln

for scientific treatment.
SPECIFIC BLOOD POISON.
Scientific treatment only should be
used in combating this loathesome dis

Herman Remedy which I Introduce di

tralising it and expelling potson from

That disorder commonly known as
weakness has for years and generations
baffled the efforts of physicians, yet to
n!a very day a majority of doctors.
specialists not excepted, are attempt
ing to overcome it by methods that
nave 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
f 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
lli-order. 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 completely and permanently
rertore strength and vigor.
NO MONEY REQUIRED TO COM
MENCE TREATMENT. Many patients
have no confidence In ihelr doctor, be
cause he demands pay before a cure
has been effected and there are many
who have been misinformed about
ihelr condition or through unsuccessful
treatment have become skeptical and
htnk 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 aatlsne the patient Is re

I will prove my ability to cure before
