American-Hawaiian Company
Arranging Plans to Increase
Pacific Coast Business.
C. W. COOK VISITS CITY
Wotern Manager of Sjsl?m !s
Harbor and Calls on Biff Ship
persCargoes Taken Across
Isthmus Is Great Benefit.
As noon as schedules are arranged
out of New York for Portland-bound
cargo, the American-Hawaiian Steam
ship Company will snd the big steam
ers IMhmian. Xevadan. NVbraskan and
I.vra here from Sallna Crux, which is
the raciflc end of the rail Una across
the Isthmus of Tehuantepec.
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.
In company with C. I. Kennedy.
Portland agent of the fleet, he visited
different parts of the city, calling on
prominent shippers and others. In the
morning he was shown through the
harbor by General Manager Talbot, of
the Port of Portland, and was a mem
ber of a luncheon party that Included
S. M. Mears, president of the Port:
D. C. 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.
At present the company owns IS
steamers, and with the Falcon, which
Is chartered from the Charles Nelson
Company, there are 19 operating. In
the Pacific fleet are the Alaskan. Arl

vadan and Virginian, with the Penn
sylvanlan and Panamanian building. On
the Atlantic aide are the American.
Californlan. Georgian. Hawaiian. Ken
tuckian. Oregonian. Texan and Kansan.
with the Mlnnesotan. Mnntanan and
Dakotan In course of construction.
Beaidea there are three additional
vessels in prospect that may be started
In advance of the opening of the Pan
ama Canal, aa the company is pre
pared to turn out tonnage as fast as
the business increase warrants, and all
are of American construction and un
der the American flag.
Vessels on the Atlantic side load at
South Brooklyn. K. Y-. and steam to
Puerto. Mexico, where the cargo Is
transferred to the Tehuantepec route
and bandied across the Isthmus to
Sallna Crux. The Pacific sen-lea la to
San Diego. San Francisco. Portland,
Puset Sound and the Hawaiian Islands..
The vessels that proceed to Pugut
Sound from San Francisco return by
way of Honolulu. The mileage on the
Atlantic side Is ISM and It Is 1720
miles from Sallna Crux to San Diego.
4S0 miles from there to San Francisco.

On the heels of the announcement
Thursday that the steamer Mackinaw

news from San Francisco that she has

pany.' she was under charter to the
Bates A Cheesebrough line at Cs Sd. and

KIDNAPS BOY
CUSTODIAN GIVES C 5-MILE
CHASE; RECOVERS CHARGE.
Suit Is Started but Prosecutor De
clines to Act, Alleging Insuf
ficient Evidence.
SHANIKO. Or., April 13. (Special.)
After a 25-mile chase. In an automo
bile. 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.
Ward, her brother, made the arrest.
After the recovery the aunt took the
child to The Dalles, where District At
torney Wilson declined to prosecute on
the evidence submitted. "
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. The arrest was made In Crook
County.
About a year ago the mother mada a
previous attempt to kidnap her son
and following an alleged agreement
resulting from a suit. Miss Ward was
allowed to keep the child.
Mrs. Lowell says she never signed
any papers to that effect, and that if
any agreement was reached it was done
by her attorneys without her knowl
edge. All the parties In the affair are
well known at The Dalles and In South
ern Wasco County.

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

"We are also sending; posters to all

up in conspicuous places. At this time
of the year, recruiting is somewhat
slack."

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.

TALES THAT ARE TOLD.
"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.
"Soon I began to get better and was
able to eat carefully selected foods
without the aid of pepsin or other
digests and It was not long before I
was really a new woman physically.
"Now I am healthy, hearty and
sound, can eat anything and every
thing that comes along, and I know
this wonderful change Is all due to' my
having quit coffee and got the nour
ishment I needed through this delicious
Postum in place of the dangerous cof
fee and tea. j
"My wonder Jr why everyone don't
give up coffee and the troubles that
go with it and build themselves up as I
have done, with Postum." Name given

Postum in place of coffee. The reward
is big and worth the test.
