V JANUARY 1912. 4 r jn - ' ' PORTLAND-ALASKA SERVICE TO START Steamer St. Helens to Make Three Trips Next Summer Under Agreement. E. J. DODGE MAKES PACT 200-Ton Cargo Guarantee Assured. Chamber of Commerce Elated OTcr tuccei. Bnsineea Men's Clob Arts Promptly. As the eateries wedge in tb move ment lor getting a Urge share of the lukao trade fur Portland, the trans portation committee of the Portland Chamber of Commerce yesterday prac tically completed arrangements where by tne steamer St. Helens, of the E. J. I-odice Steamship Company, of tiaa Krimi.no, would be put on the run be tween Portland and Alaska porta early In April. LI. II. Dodxe. .e of the owners of the steamship line, conferred with W. H. Smllwouil, manager of the trans portation committee. yesterday and agreed to put the vessel, which now plies between California ports and Portland, on the run. providing the merchants of the city guarantee a car go of 200 tona a trip. The t. Helens liaa a capacity of 3406 tona net regis ter and the stipulation of Mr. Iodge whereby a guarantee of only ZOO tons ta required Is regarded by members of the Chamber of Commerce and 1'ort land business men who have Interested themselves In the establishment of the line aa so exceedingly low as to make f the realisation of the project almost a foregone conclusion. "I shall be very much surprised If It Isn't done." said J. N. Teal, counsel for the transportation committee, who has been foremost in the movement, tosaaslttre Keeerte Favorably. The subject was broached at a meet ing of tne Progressive Business Men's Club January 13 by F. A. Freeman, and Mr. IxxlKe, who waa present at the time. outlined arrangements under which be thought his company would undertake to establish the line. A committee from the club waa appointed to consider the subject further and Mr. Freeman waa named chairman. The other members appointed were C F. Johnson. Phil 8. bates. C 8. Jackson, C. C. Chapman and James F. Kinder. At a meeting of the transportation committee of tifa Chamber of Com merce Wednesday a favorable report waa submitted to It by the business men's committee, which announced that It would leave further action on the subject In the hands of the Chamber 'f Commerce. Mr. Small wood was ap pointed a, special delegate with power to represent the Chamber In reducing the project to concrete form. In a meeting with Mr. Dodge yester day an agreement was effected where by the St. Helens would make the run between Portland and Alaskan ports three times In the coming Hummer, railing at Nome, Sol Oman. St. Nicholas and Taller. According to the agree ment the first trip la to be made in April and the last trip In August. Great Beaeflt Kereeeea. Whllo the beginning Is not to be pretentious. It Is regarded as most im portant by the Chamber of Commerce, who view It as the commencement of service that will result In bringing an Immense trade to Portland. The Cham ber of Commerce baa been laboring with this end In view for the past 14 years, and never In all that time has It been as near realisation of Its ambi tion as at present. Members of the Chamber of Com merce are elated over the offer of Mr. Dodge, which they retrard as the prac tical equivalent to the establishment of the line. The Chamber baa obtained offers heretofore from steamship com panies for the establishment of lines, but in every case the tonnage guaran tee asked was so high as to be re garded as prohibitive for a beginning. Mr. Small wood now Is engaged in col lecting data with reference to rates and the arrangement of Incidental de tails. He will submit these to the ship pers here as soon as gathered, prepara tory to asking for the required guar antee. Seattle Rates te Prevail. In a few days. Mr. Smallwood said lat night, he hopes to be able to an nounce that the guarantee has been provided. Mr. Dodge assured Mr. Small wood at the time of the agreement that the rates charged Portland ship pers mould be the same as asked at Seattle. -With this splendid start." said Mr. Smallwood. "we ought to be able to have several steamers on the Alaska route next year, and establish com munication with Southeastern Alaska, Cordova. Valdea and Bering Sea points. If the operation of one steamer this year Is successful it will encourage shippers Into that territory and Instill hop that they may obtain a large share of the trade that now goes to the other points. "Regarding the 200-ton guarantee asked. I would say that there is more than enough freight shipped to Alaska from Portland by way of Seattle now to meet this requirement. An Instance of this is the product of large Eastern manufacturing firms. These firms maintain large warehousee In Portland to which they ship their goods, and then fill their Alaska orders out of the stock so shipped, sending the ship ments to Seattle by rati, and there loading them aboard vessels. Under that system Seattle gets the credit of business that really belongs to Port land. "There Is a large amount of this trans-shipment buslnees that Portland ought to get. Beside this me could count on big business In the form of grain shipments from Interior points. Only last Summer we had offers of a shipment of 70.000 tons of flour from the Snake River district to Alaska by way of this point which we had to re fuse because of lack of facilities." An excursion Into Alaska In the in terests of trade extension now Is being arranged by the wholesalers and other business men of Portland.

PAVING QUESTION RAISED Southern Pacific Willing- to Main tain Street but nas No Appro priation for Improvement Tax Council Seeks. Electrification of the Fourth-street line of the Southern Paclilc. plans for which already have been completed, may depend upon the action taken by the City Council of Hillsboro on the ap plication for franchise now pending. At ita meeting Tuesday evening the Hillsboro Council deferred taking a final vote on the iubjeet, but consider able opposition to the measure was ex pressed. It seems that the street over which the railroad seeks entrance to the business district of the city waa paved recently at considerable expense. Now the Council wants to assess the Southern Pacific for the amount it would have been required to expend for paving had the franchise been granted previous to the time the paving was laid. Street Malateaaaee Approved. D. W. Ckmpbell, general superin tendent of the Southern Pacific, has of fered to pay for the maintenance of the street along the right of way dat ing from the time the paving waa placed, but declarea he cannot pay for work done before the time that he ap plied for the franchise. "1 have the appropriation for this work and am ready to proceed with It aa fast as I am able to close rights of way. I have no appropriation, how ever, for the Hillsboro paving, and I don't think the Southern Paclilc direc tors would authorize one. It is an unheard-of procedure." Mr. Campbell said that plans for eiec. trlficatlon of virtually 100 miles of track have been made, and that the company Is prepared to do the work as soon as acceptable franchises can be obtained. Three Franchises Obtained. Franchises have been granted at Forest prove and at Newberg. The Southern Pacific crosses the main street of McMlnnvllle, so additional rights are not required there. As soon as the Hillsboro tangle Is adjusted the com pany will be ready to make terms with the Portland City Council for operation of electric trains on Fourth street. If no legal delays are encountered, actual work on changing the line from a steam to an electric road can be started early. in the Spring. Y. M. C. JL TEAMS TO VIE CONTEST MAY MAKE ASSOCIA TION LARGEST IN WORLD. Campaign for New Members Will Be Held Last of Month and Keen Competition Is In Prospect. For the purpose of gaining 1000 members and leading all similar or ganizations in the world, the Portland Toung Men's Christian Association will inaugurate a membership campaign January 29 to continued until February 3. The campaign will be conducted as a contest among 20 teams, which will Include workers from every division of the association. While this campaign is under way among the seniors, a sim ilar contest will be conducted in the boys department. The membership teams will consist of 12 members each, and will be made up from the following department, under the direction of J. W. Raymond, membership secretary: Gymnasium leaders, pharmacy school, technical school, automobile school, commercial school, college preparatory school, noon business men's class. 6 o'clock business men's class, religious and social de partment, board of directors, three teams from the employment depart ment, two general teams and one team from each dormitory floor of the as sociation building. All of the members of these teams will gather for supper in the Y. M. C. A. auditorium, Friday nig lit. January 28, when plans for the campaign will be discussed. The canvass will start the following Monday morning, and each night during the week the work ers will meet for supper in the audi torium and report the day s results. The leading team each day will oc cupy the honor table at supper the following evening. At the end of the contest the namea of the winning team will be engraved on a shield which will be bung In the association building. For each new member or each re newal the team that secures it will be entitled to five points, and for each dollar of membership fees paid an ad ditional point will be scored. In addi tion to this, certain credits will be allowed for enrolling new members in various branches of the association work, the purpose of the contest being to secure members who will take an active part in the association affairs. The V. M. C. A. now has more than 8200 members, bat a considerable num ber of memberships expires on Febru ary 1. If 1000 new members and re newals are secured, the total enroll ment will be well above 6600, and will make the Portland association the largest in the world. Fifteen clubs will compete in the membership contest in the boys' de partment. The boys will meet several times during the week to report re sults, and the contest among them promises to be fully as spirited as the contest in the senior department. NON-UNION MAN IS OFF (Continued From First Page.) tent evidence. He Insisted on a ruling by the court on this question of law. "This Is no time to settle the law as to the Introduction of testimony, retorted Mr. Fitxgerald. "Rulings on questions of law should be made by the court only when the disputed evidence Is offered. The court should not cross a bridge until it is reached. If we are going to have a ruling on this point, we might Just as well dismiss the Jury for two or three days and thrash out all law points in the case before we proceed further." Judge Kavanaugh' announced that he had understood the representative of the District Attorney's office at the be ginning of the case to say that the plea of guilty by Morris would not be competent evidence against Wilde. "1 had assumed that this feature of the case bad been decided and that it was understood by counsel on both sides," continued the court. ' "I say frankly that any confession by Morris would not be evidence against Wllde. Slnce this is the only ruling I ever could make on this point, it is Just as well that I settle it right here. The ruling I have made is identical to that I bad resolved to include in my Instruc tions to the Jury on this point." . After admitting that the omy infor mation he had concerning the affairs of the Oregon Trust & Savings Bank and the pending trial of Wilde was what he had read in the newspapers, C D. Ramsdell. contracting carpenter, was passed for cause by both sides. With the acceptance of Ramsdell, the 12 chairs in the Jury box were filled with tentative Jurors. Judge Kava naugh promptly announced that the court would entertain a peremptory challenge by the defense. Mr. Malarkey announced the name of Mr. Haertleln, who was excused. D. J. Zaa First Taleenaaa. The next name drawn by Court Clerk Fields was that of Dora J. Zan, presi dent of Zan Bros., Incorporated, resid ing at mi Franklin street. The ex amination of Mr. Zan was thorough on the part of Mr. Malarkey, but only a few interrogatories were required by Mr. Fitzgerald when Mr. Zan disquali fied himself by making the declaration that he would not believe W. Cooper Morris "under any circumstances and would disregard his evidence altogether even though it were corroborated by other testimony." Pressed by Mr. Malarkey to give the reason of his complete distrust of Morris' veracity, Mr. Zan said It was due to information he had learned con cerning the record of Morris prior to the time he became Identified with the suspended bank, coupled with hia rec ord since the failure of that Institution, Including the fact that Morris is serv ing a penitentiary sentence under a former conviction. Counsel ror tne ao fense did not resist the challenge for cause preferred by the prosecution and Mr. Zan waa excused. Carpenter Is Called. The next talesman called was S. C. Baker, for It years employed as car penter In the Southern Pacific carshops. and residing at 867 East Flanders. Counsel for the defense had Just fin ished questioning Baker when court adjourned. He will be examined this morning by the prosecution, and the Indications are that he will be passed temporarily. Mr. Baker said he had no impression as to whether any crime had been committed in connection with the de funct bank and did not have an opinion as to the guilt or innocence of either Morris or Wilde. H. said he would ecrutinize ftie testimony of Morris more closely than that of any other witness, and would be disposed to dis credit anything Morris might testify unless it was supported by corrobora tive evidence. Questioned by Mr. Malarkey if the fact that a man had been indicted would prejudice the Juror's mind against him in the sub sequent trial of the case. Baker an swered negatively, and added that he "had no faith in grand Juries, any way." Malarkey and Clark. Mix. The concluding 15 mintues of the day's session were enlivened somewhat by a blustery bombardment of words between Mr. Malarkey .and Special Prosecutor Clark regarding the P08se slon of certain exhibits presumed to be pertinent to the cause on trial. The wordy fusillade resulted In no serious Injury to either of the combatants, and the average spectator left the court room wondering what it was all about. Mr. Clark had announced that tne prosecution had Just received a consid erable amount of correspondence relat ing to the pending trial that heretofore had been unobtainable by reason of the fact that it is in Washington. He informed opposing counsel that the state would undertake to have copies of such communications as it would use in the case made and delivered to the defense today, if possible. At the same time he said other documents in the nature of bonds were not in the possession of the prosecution because they were sealed up along with other records of the bank and stored in the Merchants National Bank. Mr. Malarkey renewed his demand that the prosecution furnish counsel for the defense with copies ef the exchange records of the Oregon Trust & Savings Bank from May 16, 1907, until the time of its suspension late 1n August of that year. He charged that a thorough search by representatives of the de fense among the records of the bank for these exhibits had proved futile, and he demanded that Mr. Clark, as special prosecutor in the absence of Re ceiver Devlin, should be required to produce the desired records, which had been requested by the defense some time ago. Prosecution Bonds Witness. Replying, Mr. Clark declared he did not know where the exchange records of the bank were, since he had not as sisted to pack the bank records, which are stored in several large drygooda boxes in the Commercial building, at Second and Washington streets. The special prosecutor, however, volun teered to the defense the services of Adolph Schultz, a former bookkeeper for the defunct bank, who was ac quainted with the records and might possibly be able to And the papers de sired. Mr. Clark denied that delivery by the prosecution of these exhibits was oovered in the order that had been made by Presiding Judge Gatens direct ing the state to supply the defense with copies of all records and other docu mentary evidence touching en the af fairs of the bank that will be used in prosecuting the charge of embezzlement against Mr. Wilde. The engagement amounted te nothing more than a draw, neither side gaining any advantage, and it was In that shape that the controversy terminated. The prosecution has caused one of Its witnesses, Frank H. Stow, to be placed under 15000 bonds to Insure his appear ance at the trial. Stow was connected with the Union Construction Company, and in that way was associated with Wilde In the sale of telephone bonds. Stow was largely Instrumental in bringing about the Indictment of Wilde. JEFFERSON MYERS BACK TRAVELER FINDS PORTLAND ONE OP TWO "BEST." Great Benefit Predicted for Whole Coast Through Canal Many Talk for Harmon. -People in the Middle West feel that their lands are going to meet with a depreciation of value and that our lands on the Coast are going up in value as a result of the Panama Canal." Existence of this sentiment In wide spread form is reported by Jefferson Myers, well-known Oregonlan, who has Just returned from a "swing around the circle." Mr. Myers was away four months and during that time traveled 12.S00 miles. "Everywhere I found great interest in the Northwest and Coast country," said Myers. "Throughout the country.! You Don't Need a New Stomach You Can Now Look Any Meal Square in the race, and Then Just "do Tot It," if Yon Take Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Trial Package Seat Free to Prove It. The stomach will go on patiently for years enduring abuse, overwork and general ill-treatment, so we're apt to think It can stand anything. But when the stomach does rebel, look out! "Every Meal Smiles at Me New Since I've Beea Taking Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets.'' The minute the stomach ceases to perform its functions properly, the whole body begins to suffer. The food Is only half digested, the body only half nourished. And the undigested portion of the food ferments and decays, gen erating nauseating gases which de range the whole system. The eventual result is chronic dyspepsia, heartburn, bad breath, dizziness, flatulency and sick headache. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets instantly relieve all ailments of the stomach and digestive tract. They act quickly, safely and naturally Just like Nature herself. They contain In themselves the ele ments which go to make up the natural gastric Juices. They actually digest the food, relieving the stomach of all the hard work.

They are sold at 50 cents a box. If you want to try them first, we will send you a trial package free on receipt of your name and address. F. A. Stuart Co, ISO Stuart Bldg., Marshall. Mich. general business appears to be rather quiet, although money is plentiful. Better conditions prevail on the Coast than through the East and South. The two best towns I have seen are Port land and Los Angeles. That these cit ies and the whole Coast are to receive Immense benefit from the Panama Canal Is the widespread belief of the country at large. I believe It is not too much to predict that Portland will double in size within five years after the completion of the Canal and that this growth will be attendant upon a corresponding growth and development of the city's tributary domain." Taft and Harmon form the opposing combination for the Presidency that Myers reports having heard most about on his trip. While declining to give any personal opinions, Myers said that Harmon has an immense following In the South and that almost all with whom he talked seemed Inclined to think that he would head the Democ racy in the coming campaign. While in the South, Myers went over the border and passed a few days in Mexico. He says that Federal troops were everywhere in evidence and that the Madero government seemed to have things well in hand, although poverty was strongly manifest among the people. Among the cities visited by Mr. Myers were Chicago. Cleveland, New York, Boston, Washington, Cincinnati. Nash ville, Louisville, New Orleans, San An tonio, El Paso, Los Angeles and San Francisco. LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES They Are Closely Observing Public Health Conditions An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Com panies, In an interview on the subjec't, made the astonishing statement that the reason why so many applicants for insurance are rejected Is because kid ney trouLle Is so common to the American people, and the large major ity of applicants do not even suspect that they have the disease. He states that Judging from his own experience and reports from druggists who are constantly in direct touch with the public there is one preparation that has probably been more successful in relieving and curing these diseases than any remedy known.
