hen the Council was called to order
by Mavor HushMcht In adjourned i-es-alon.
Hen Iey. representing the South
ern Pacific, a-'kod for nnd was granted
the conrtesv of th flmir. Ilo Raid that
the chief officers of the company bad
not been notified of the intention of
the Council to consider the- ordinance
at this time, and that they had made
arrangement to confer with llovernor
est at Salem over the subject of the
j-ubli.r levee at tie foot of Jefferson

order that they mlRht be present. He

Tlowever. Councilman Clyde moved
that the ordinance be withdrawn from
the street committee, to which it was
referred last session by Councilman
Maker, who was actina: Mayor at the
time, and that it be considered. This
prder prevailed, and. without murh de
bate. tl: ordinance was passed. It did
not. however, cet sufficient votes to
rarrr an t-morKenry clause, and will not
co into effect for 30 days after th
flavor slarna it.
The ordinance requires that the
tracks of the company on Fourth street
be removed forthwith, and follows an
opinion by city Attorney Grant that
the rltr haa the power to enforce such
an ordinance. It revokes tha prlvll
rci'i granted In an ordinance passed
many years ago.
Th company is flchtlng the city'a
contention that It has no perpetual
rights in Fourth street, this case? heinar
In the Vnlted States Supreme Court at
the present time. City Attorney Crant
has but recently filed a request that
the case be set forward on the calendar
for an early hearing.
The company a!so has applications
lefore the Council aeekin-r a franchise
on Vourth street, as it desires to elec
trify its line there and to lay a 'double
track. Councilman Huritarii Maid yes
terday that he believed it would be
better to consider both subjects to
gether, and that was his reason for
rotlng against the Daly ordinance,
lealk Ke-relvea Fardoa.
The Council pardoned Fred Mlllbrand,
who was arretted for vagramy recent
ly althourh Councilman Jennings pro
tested. Loyal McCarthy, representing
Vie prisoner, said that the young man
was not bad: that he had an old mother
and two sisters to support, and that he
ahould be liberated in order to rare for
them. He was arrested for lounging In
a poolroom.
I would like to know what assur
ance this Council has that he will -be
any better in future." said Councilman
Jennings. "It seems that every pris
oner sent to the rockplle these days has
a poor old mother, of whom he had not
Vnown before, and ahe needs his help.
In less it can be shown positively that
Jie will do better. I oppose a pardon."
An ordinance assessing the cost of a
JTassam pavement on the Macadam road
district was passed, after Mayor Kush
llght had told the members that he
wanted all aewers, which had been
rulnc.1 by -concrete from Hassam. re
paired at contractors' expense before

he would make good any damage. If

CHICKENS CAUSE FEUD
IlIELAXPS AND PARRKRS Y Alt
FOK MOKK THAN YEAK.
Trouble Started Over Joint Owner
ship of Incubator Increur-cd by
Meddling Mediums.
The Ireland and the Parkers, who
have been on the warpath ever since
Mrs- Minnie Splvy. a medium, had in a
trance seen the Parkers trying to poi
son the Irclands' chickens and also
steal several of them, renewed hostili
ties yesterday, when F. C Ireland,
leader of the Ireland faction, was ar
rested at the Instigation of the I'arkers,
charged with threatenlna- to kill Mrs.
Frances K. Parker, just after lie had
paid a fine of 30 in the Police Court.
An Intricate maze of intrigues, plots
and strategems that had been resorted
to bv the warring factions during the
progress of their feud lasting over a
vear. and which has aroused the entire
Alberta district, was unraveled at the
hearing In the Police Court last Thurs
dav. After the trial they prolonged the
airing of their troubles In tho District
Attorney's office, and the olive sprig of
peace apparently had passed between
them after the session.
The whole trouble began when the
Parkers and the Irelands started in the
poultry business and purchased an in
cubator, to be the Joint property of
both. To emphaaize part of the agree
ment, the Incubator was placed on the
property line between the two proper
ties, with half resting on each. This
joint partnership made Mrs. Parker
and Mrs. Lreland quite chummy." and
they organized) a "500" club.
Mrs. Parker soon withdrew from the
club and feud started which grew
more embittered us time went on. In
the course of the feud Mrs. Splvy. the
nirdlum. received a metaphysical visi
tation In which she saw the Parkers
laying poison and stealing the Irclands"
chickens. She communicated this to
Mrs. Wilson, another spiritualist, and
Mr. Wilson told a Mrs. Wilcox, friend
of the Irelands. and Mrs. Wilcox told
the Irelands- I'pon receiving this In
formation the Irelands' wrath roso to a
great height.
To add zest to the campaign, the 11-year-old
son of the Parkers and the 11-year-old
son of the Irelands. both red
headed, took up the cause of their eld
ers and proved very pestiferous to the
opposing sides.
I.ast week, when the Irelands lost
three prize chickens. Mrs. Spivy and
her Bister medium. Mrs. Wilson, put
their heads together, had a trance nnd
received the revelation that they had
been stolen by the PArkers. In due
time the Information was received at
the headquarters of the Irelands,
through the same channels as pre
viously. In righteous wrath. Ireland unbur
dened his mind to the Parkers, and Mrs.
Parker caused hi" arrest on a charge
of disorderly conduct. This case, which
waa tried Thursday, was dismissed
yesterday and Ireland was fined $;n on
a similar charge on which he had been
tried last June, arising out of the same
ouarrel. The sentence at that time had
been suspended. After he had paid the
tine he was arrested again on complaint
of Mrs. Parker, who charged him with
threatening to kill her.
Leavened Bread.
HEBREWS OBSERVE FEAST

TANK SHIP IS MOVED
Wrecked Rosecrans May Be
Floated Soon.
2 MORE OIL CARGOES DUE
UniiMiall) Ijirge Consumption of
Liquid Fuel Here Brings Large
I'loet of Oil Vessels Kcgu
larly to This Tort.
There w-ill be no immediate addition
to the fleet of the Associated Oil
Company as waa thought probable
when the tanker Rosecrans went on
the rocks at Oaviota. News has been
received that the vessel was moved 200
feet this week by wreckers working
under the direction of Captain T. P. H.
Whltelaw. and it Is expected tle
steamer will be floated without delay.
It was assumed hero from early re
ports that the Rosecrans. which was
caught in a storm at Gaviota, would
be a total wreck as it haa been known
for some time that the Associated Oil
Company is ready to build another
lurge carrier when business warrants,
it was taken as certain that the Iohs of
the Rosecrans would, mean that a new
steamer would be ordered. She is not
as large as tho J. A. Chanslor and W.
V. lleriin, and It is customary to re
place the smaller vessels with the
modern ones as fust as they are re
tired. Two oil cargoes were floated yester-

The latter Is to operate regularly In

the great consumption of liquid fuel
here. More plants are being installed

will be used.
ST III RK BOTHKKS DETAILLE
Portland-Bound Ship Gets Cargo
From Sailing Craft.
Home of the difficulties being met
with in getting the French bark Ed
ouard Petaille loaded and dispatched
from Rotterdam have been made known
in Portland through a communication
from abroad, in which conditions fol
lowing the strike of coal operators are
said to be such that no freight can bo
moved on railway lines, and they are
limited to tho number of passengers
carried dally. No vessels having coal
aboard or steamers using it for fuel
are permitted to leave any port, the
aim being to conserve the amount on
hand in tho event of war or trouble
that would necessitate the government
requiring the fuel for its purpose.
The Kdouard Dotaille loaded a part
cargo at Lublln and moro was sent to
her In small sailing vessels from Glas
gow. When she was started for Rotter
dam a tug had to be sent from Belgium,
as nono of the harbor towboats there
could he used. The Frenchman is ex
pected to get away shortly and arrive
here in the early Fall, unless she Is
again held up.

The Nottingham sailed from the river
with 1.2.'.6.413 feet, and lost 406,413
feet of her deckload In the blow that
carried away her Btlcks. The damaged
vessel is lying at the drydock. and lit
tle progress has been mafle in the way
of arbitrating between the owners and
underwriters as to the amount of dam
ages. As soon as an adjustment is
agreed upon it Is believed that the
schooner will be repaired. So much time
has been expended in debating the de
tails that Portlanders aro beginning to
believe that the vessel will become a
fixture here.

Archie Pease, of the Columbia F.ivcr
Pilots' Association, was the guest yes

Many Are Swindled.
How many Portland persons have
been swindled by this device is not ac
curately known, but the number is
large. The swindle first came to the
notice of the authorities several months
ago when a representative of the com
pany, staying at a leading hotel, was
warned by the District Attorney that
his scheme was believed to go beyond
the pale of the law. He dropped out of
sight and the representation was then
assumed by John T. Hoey. a retired
minister, w-ho was arrested and had a
preliminary hearing in Justice Olson s
court, where half a dozen victims of the
company gave testimony against him
and the court, after a scathing rebuke,
held him to the grand Jury.
That body refused to return an in
dictment and the business appears to
have received a new stimulus from the
fact All tho authorities who have
come in contact with the transactions
of the company denounce the scheme as
an apparent swindle in which the-only
bona fide part is the payment made by
the aspiring agent. One T. H. Pierce
is now acting as the company's repre
sentative here.
SCHOONER'S FINE IS $10
Federal Officials Mitigate Assess
ment Against Kona.
ASTORIA. Or., April 3. (Special.)
Shortly before the departure of the
schooner Kona. which sailed yesterday
for Nouema. New Caledonia, with a
cargo of lumber, word was received
from Washington that the total fines of
5100 assessed against the vessel by
the Customs Service had been mitigated
to J10. When the vessel arrived here
some weeks ago from Suva. Fiji
Islands, Captain P. J. Hansen, master
of the craft was fined S..0OO by Col
lector McGregor for failure to bring a
consular bill of health and he also
was fined $100 for having lost his crew
list
An appeal was taken to the depart
ment officials in Washington, who set
aside the 15000 line, for the reason that
shortly before the Kona sailed from
Suva the American Consular Office
had been closed there, but the Customs
Department had not been Informed of
that fact. The department reduced the
100 fine to 10 and this was paid by
Captain Hansen.
THUSS MAY HOLD IXVEKR11
Steamer to Load at Portland Mill if
Clearance Permits.
Captain Hand, of the British steamer
Inverkip, which is discharging here,
after completing a voyage from Ant
werp in the Henry Lund & Co. line,
has been asked by the Columbia River
Pilots' Assocfatlon to ascertafn defi
nitely the height of the vessel's masts
above the water, as she is to proceed
to the Portland mill to load 1.000.000
feet of lumber when1 her inward cargo
Is unloaded.
Cantalu Hand thinks that the sticks
are 120 feet above the water when the
vessel Is light. The clearance beneath
the temporary truss of the new Harri
man bridge Is 115 feet at low water,
but with the gauge standing now about
five feet above zero, the clearance is
onlv 110 feet. In the event the Inver
klp's masts are as high as the skipper
estimates, the lumber will have to be
shifted from the mill in lighters. The
steamer reached Portland Tuesday
night, and Captain Hand says the trip
from Antwerp, via the Straits of Ma
gellan, was of the usual character.

That mills at Aberdeen are free from

so far as cargo business is concerned,

Captain Hall, of the steamer Francis
H. Leggett, who telephoned from Port

given 1.000.000 feet of lumber there, as
she is due to start working the mate

that there would be no delay in dis
patching his vessel.
On leaving Grays Harbor the Leggett

stantly attacking our physical
systems. Healthy blood stimulates the excretory members and
enables them to filter out of the system everything that is not neces
sary or beneficial to the growth and development of the body. Thus
we are apt to remain healthy unless there is a weakening of the
vital fluid or an impure infection of the circulation.
Imperfect blood takes various forms in its outward manifestation.
A weak, watery circulation denotes anaemia with its attendant evils
of pale, waxy complexions, malarial conditions, or perhaps some more
definitely marked disorder is shown. Frequently the blood becomes
infected with acrid humors, and Eczema, Tetter, Acne, or some other
skin affection makes its appearance, while an excess of uric acid in
the circulation produces Rheumatism with its pains and aches.
Old Sores and Ulcers are likewise dependent on bad blood, these
places being kept open and in a state of irritation by the drainage of
pollution which disordered blood constantly discharges into them.
Another common indication of weak, impure blood is tfie loss of
appetite, tired, worn out feeling and a general run-down condition of
the system. This is an ailment very prevalent in the Spring and most
persons so afflicted realize the necessity of overcoming the trouble by
the use of a tonic.
We recommend to all in need of a blood purifier or tonic, the
use of S. S. S., a medicine which has proven itself the greatest oFall
blood purifiers. It goes down into the circulation and removes all im
purities, humors and poisons and makes the blood pure and health

COMPROMISE IS PROPOSED
Attorney-General Crawford Eager to
Sec Land-Grant Fight at End.
Reviewing tho history of the rail
road land grants in Oregon and the suit
now pending in the Federal Courts to
cancel the unsold portion of the grant,
which amounts to a littler more than
2.600.000 acres, Attorney-General Craw
ford, in an address before the Port
land Ad Club yesterday, advocated, if
possible, a compromise providing tho
railroad would agree to sell the land
at the original contract price of $2.50
an acre.
"The railroad company virtually con
trols a strip of land about 35 to 40
miles in w'dth to the southern bound
ary of the state, and by withdrawing
the land from market, preventing set
tlement and improvement and also
preventing construction of competing
lines, holds a practical monopoly not
only upon the transportation but also
the industries of the state, which pol
icy has been very disastrous in its re
sults. "All of these conditions conspire to
hold back settlement and development."
