The steamer Kalcon. which has been nH as a transfer vessel between San Francisco and Portland, will be given other employment until her charter ex pires. The new arrangement will give Portland a steamer every 11 days. Those are the plans In brief and they nlll he executed unless C. VT. Cook, of San Francisco. Pacific Coast manager of the svstem. reports adversely, air. Cook spent yesterday in the city and continued to Seattle, from where he will return tomorrow, and after Q brief star will Droceea to t-an rrancisco. There are Wither port charges here, he says, one Item being In tl-e long shore work, but It Is believed that the differential can be overcome by means that the steamship officials are work ing on and the reaching of a satisfac tory understanding will be the signal for the new schedule to be worked out. rok Iterative Head Here. Mr. Cook Is the executive head of the American-Hawaiian on the Pacific side. and. while he has had the In creased service under consideration for a l.nathv period and Is familiar with Portland conditions, he deemed It best to journey here before taking the final step.

O'ltrllly. of the Commission; Mr. Talbot and Mr. Kennedy. The public drydock and other fa cilities for handling the big vessels were discussed and Mr. Cook was In formed that the new service was sin cerely ueslred and that everything would be done to warrant Its continu ance. The steamer Falcon, which has been on the iranxfrr schedule for a lengthy period, has reached her capacity. She sails from Portland every 11 days and has proven a valuable carrier so far as rapacity and regularity figured, but the officials of the American-Hawaiian believe that there Is much new busi ness that can be handled, particularly coming from the Atlantic side, and no doubt they will receive a greater per centage of tonnage bound for New York and Europe. rBeaay Owas 18 Steamers.

Barney Lowell and wife and Ernest Ward, of Bend, Or were ar rested at Garrett's ranch In Crook County last Saturday night, for the alleged kidnaping of little Jay Teel, the 4-year-old son of Mrs. Lowell from Ida Ward, said to be the child's legal custodian. It Is alleged here that Mr. and Mrs. Lowell and Ward drove to Miss Ward's ranch and seized the child. When she gave chase. Ernest Ward kept riding between the two parties and advised the pursuing woman that tha Lowells were armed. Miss Ward later secured Deputy Sheriffs at Antelope. T. C.

" Miss Ward still retains the boy whom she has cared for since he was 5 months old. - The defendants Including the mother of the boy, Mrs. Lowell, have threat ened to start counter action against Miss Ward and the arresting officers who. claimed they were authorized offi cers.

All the parties In the affair are well known at The Dalles and In South ern Wasco County. MORE SOLDIERS NEEDED RECKIITIXG OFFICERS SCOUR. IXG STATE FOR MEN'. Strained Relations With Mexico Be lieved to Be Back of Order to Swell Enlistment. As a result of a telegram received by the recruiting; officer here at an early hour yesterday morning: from Ad jutant-General Ladd, In Washington, D. C efforts are being? made to obtain recruits for every branch of the United States Army. Only a short time aaro the officer was ordered to ac cept no original applicants, but only re-enlist soldiers for all branches. This fact, taken in connection with the present strained relations between the United States and Mexico, has led officers to believe there is much signi ficance In the telegram. It runs as follows: "Recruiting; officer, Worcester build ing;. Portland. Or. Canvass actively and accept freely applicants for all arms of service until further instruc tions. By order the Adjutant-General. (Signed) "LADD. Ass't. Adj-Gen." Lieutenant F. B. Upham, Coast Artil lery Corps, the recruiting; officer, could give no definite reason for the order. "Since receiving; these new orders," he said, "I am sending; out men to canvass Oregon City, Salem, Eugene and other points, with posters, hand bills and circulars. "We are also sending; posters to all the Postoffices in Oregon with a re quest that the Postmasters hang; them up in conspicuous places. At this time of the year, recruiting is somewhat slack." "As far as full peace strengrth goes," he continued, "three branches, tha cavalry, the field artillery and the coast artillery are practically full, but the Infantry is still not quite up to complete peace Btrength.

Military men In Portland, who have been following the situation carefully, are disposed to take a serious view 'of the Mexican situation. Owing to the excitement aroused by the loss of the Titanic, it Is said, the importance of the Mexican relations has been over looked during the last two or three days. fXn Francisco and El Paso have received toe same orders, indicating that the message has been sent out uni versally. Relations between the United States and Mexico became strained when the Mexican government disclaimed all re-: sponslbillty for the acts of outrage and personal violence performed by rebels, both singly and in column, on American citizens in the country.

"I was one of the kind who wouldn't believe that coffee was hurting me," says a N. Y. woman. "You just couldn't convince me its use was connected with the heart and stomach trouble I suf fered from most all of the time." (Tea contains caffeine the same drug found In coffee, and is Just as harmful.) "My trouble finally got so bad I had to live on milk and toast almost entirely for three or four years. Still I loved the coffee and wouldn't believe It could do such damage. "What I needed was to quit coffee and take nourishment In such form my stomach could digest. I had read much about Fostum, but never thought it would fit my case until one day I de cided to quit coffee and give it a trial and make sure about It So I got a package and carefully followed the directions.
