When the British steamer Crown of Kovlllo oncratert fov the Harrison line, completes dischitrsniis; a shipment ot rresote at St. Helena next month she r.rrtfApd to Portland and load S.SOO.OOO feet ot lumber for Manila, Bal four, Guthrie & Co. having been the lowest bidder on the lot, and that firm arranged yesterday to have the Crown of Seville carry tne oraer. j iib ium ber Is for the Government. As the steamer Is of 5S26 tons gross nd will draw 27'4 feet of water fully loaded, there will be space for flour. fodder and other stuff going to Manna Jialfour. Cuthrie & Co. are agents for the Harrison line here, and the firm has made strenuous efforts to promote interest among importers in the new . service from Kuropc. so that cargo would be routed via that line in suf fi-ient nuantitv to warrant the fleet lieinc- sent here regularly. It It be lieved that following the arrival of the Crown of Seville, the city will be made a rermanent port of call. Bids for the lumber were opened at Seattle January 19. the material being Intended for the use of the Quartermas ter Department, I". S. A., and tenders were received from the Tacoma Mill Company of SH.50 per 1000 feet: Doug las r'ir Sales Company, Portland. 114.23. nd Balfour. Guthrie & Co.. JH.25. De livery was to he made on Puget Pound, or at this city and the specifications were for 2.617.73T feet of rough mer. charitable lumber and a quantity of ceiling.

Another steamer that the firm has fixed for lumber from here is the Brit ish tramp Rothley. which sailed from Callao for Vancouver, B. C-. January 20. The Rothley will make two voy ages from the Coast with lumber to Australia. She was taken for the first with the understanding that she would probably load on Puget Sound next month, but there are prospects that she will be sent here Instead, and again the latter part of July she is to come to Portland. BKAVER OFF FOR SIX WEEKS Fhijrship or Fxpress Serviee to Vn- dergo General Repairs. Though not in a serious condition, as is shown by the fact she sailed yes terday from San Francisco for Los An geles, the steamer Beaver, flagship of the "Big Three" aggregation, will be Rbsent from Portland six weeks under going repairs. News to that effect was lecelved yesterday by J. W. Hansom, general agent here for the fleet. On her return from Los Angeles she will be ordered to the yards at San Fran cisco. On her last voyage from here the Heaver grounded on the lower river during a fog. but Is not thought to have sustained damage, and as she was in a similar predicament Inside the mouth or the Willamette last year, owing to a fog. it is supposed that slight Injury resulted that caused the underwriters to arrange for repairs. As the steamer has not been out of service for other than cleaning and painting since she went on the run nearly three years ago, tave after she collided with and sank the Norwegian steamer Selja. she will be given a thorough overhauling. Da'm uge she has sustained on deck through storms has been repaired during her layover in port. Because of the work decided on she will not sail from Port land February 13 and March 2, as scheduled. No Information has been received that another vessel will be sent In her place, though during March travel is heavy and cargo offerings plentiful. The steamer Bear got away at 4 o'clock yesterfday afternoon with about ISO passengers in the cabn and 70 In the steerage, while below deck She had a full cargo stowed.

The charge for river towing each way is placed at 3375, and the Port of Port land la said to have represented that it would perform the same service cheaper. BRITOX IS OV FREXCH VESSEL James Kirkley Voyages Here to View American Methods. James Kirkley Kirkley. Interested w-lth his father in stevedoring at New-castle-on-Tyne. was a passenger aboard the French bark General Negrier, though signed as an apprentice, and on coming ashore from the vessel yes terday expressed himself as having en Joyed the voyage regardless of the slow time made. He said he undertook the trip for the purpose of studying conditions on this Coast In the way or stevedoring and he expects to return to Europe on the bark. Captain Felix Humbert, muter of the General de Negrier, was here sli years so on the Asie. Aipbonse Le Gallo. 17 years old and on his Initial voyage, was lost from the bark July 29. he hav ens fallen from the top of the foremast Into the sea. The skipper says that a hen he was 102 days out he was op posite Hobart and. had he railed there, the last leg of his "voyage would not have been unusually long, though he insists that when 1SS days out he sighted the Columbia River, and had he touched at Hobart he would have been but 6 days from there. Going by way of the Cape of Good Hope, he esti mates, required a month and a half longer. Brick, iron and fireclay form the cargo, which was loaded at New-caFtle-on-Tyne. AUSTRALIA MARKET IS ACTIVE Two Vessels Engaged to Load Lum ber on Xorth Pacific Coast. To load lumber here or on Puget Sound for Sydney or Newcastle the barkentine James Tuft has been en gaged by the American Trading Com pany at 61s 2d. She is .on the way from Newcastle to the Coast with coal. The same firm has taken the British tramp Harmattan to load lumber at a North Pacific port for Sydney and be sides she will carry coal from -Australia to the Coast, the rate for the round voyage being 6s 3d. With two disengaged ships In the river, the German ship Olona. which lost a grain charter through tardy ar rival, and the French bark General de Negrier. also on the idle list for the same reason, it is not improbable that they will be fixed for lumber. The Crown of India, which was the first carrier listed for grain that failed to be loaded this season, has chartered STEAM EU INTELLIGENCE. Doe t Arrive. Name. From. Tate. Rose City San Pedro Feb.

INSPECTION HAS BEARING- Board of Health Calls Attention to Carelessness in Handling on Farms Portland Distributors Explain February Prices. - GRKSHAM Or., Feb. 5. (Special.) The dairymen of Eastern Multnoman County have received notice from the Portland wholesale distributors that the price of milk has been cut from J2 per 100 pounds to $1.60. This action has taken the milkmen by surprise, as the MARIOV fOIXTV LOSES ONE OP OLDKST A Jin MOST RE SPEt'TKD CITIZENS. Ihx.bc Dux-bin. SALEM", Or., Feb. A. (Special.) With the death of Isaac Durbin In this city recently, ilarion County lost one of Its oldest and most respected citizens. Born in Ohio in 1832. Mr. Durbin crossed the plains by ox-team, arriving in Marion County in 1845 and, with the exception of about a year in California and another year in Eastern Oregon, he lived his life in and around Salem, where he had holdings of about 1000 acres of rich valley land. Besides his widow, Mrs. Olive Kays Durbin, he is survived by three daughters, Mrs. Duncan Ross, Mrs. Lei a Jerman and Mrs. Louis Bechtel. The funeral was attended by a host of friends. price has usually been kept up until about the flrst of April, when there are many more fresh cows and when early grass is becoming abundant. Several dairymen have said that, in their belief, the recent merger of four big Portland creameries, together with the Mountain view dairy farm, of Gresham, has had a bearing on the cut in prices, probably because more milk from distance points is now available, although it is said that the consolida tion of the big creameries Is nr.t yet quil;e complete. It is reported, also, that the Damascus creamery aaa with drawn f roi .he combine, but that other- ouLsMo capital is talcing its place. Itoirvnien Get Inkling. In a way the milkmen had an inkling that something, of the kind was about to happen when they all received cards from the City Board of Health notifying them that their products were not up to the standard of clean liness required. These cards bore the classifications "olean," "dirty," "very dirty. "filthy," and the condition of the milk received was marked with a cross opposite the word which repre sented the test. It was stated that the tests were made from the last quart of a ten-gallon can and the sediment taken from that quart was returned to the milkman for him to ponder over as an object-lesson in cleanliness. Independent Concern "Wanted. These cards were sent out to every dairyman and very few of them were designated as "clean." But they served the purpose of giving the milkmen an idea that something was about to hap pen and it did happen in the drop in prices. It Is reported that an attempt will be made to renew the efforts made last Summer to organize an dairymen's association' and establish an indepen dent distributing station in Portland. For some unexplained reason the or ganization was never completed, after nearly one-half the necessary sum had been subscribed. 'There is no understanding among milk wholesalers to reduce the price of milk that I know of," said Robert Ireland, manager of the Portland Pure Milk & Cream Company, yesterday. "The price was reduced from $2 to $1.60 per 100 pounds February 1, the same as last year, because there has been a big surplus of milk on the market. We pay 91.6O for milk on the farm and stand the cost of delivery ourselves. We get the bulk of our supply from the Cleone district." Manager Vetsch, of the Damascus' Creamery, said that he has been paying sz.iu ror miiK delivered at his place of business. Carl Schalllnger. manaeer of the Hazlewood Company, says he is paying 2 ror miiK delivered. PERS0NALMENTI0N. Leroy D. Walker, a Canby banker. Is at the Oregon.

PARK TO BE MONUMENT FRED LARSON" PLEDGES 000 SQCARK FEET. 10, Playground Will Be Lasting Memor ial That Ad Club Can Erect, De elnrcs Realty Man. Ten thousand square feet of land In a favorable location was pledged yes terday by J. Fred Larson at the lunch eon of the Ad Club at the Portland Ho tel, to be fitted up for public park and playground purposes by the club. "A playground will be the greatest monument that the Ad Club can erect for Itself," lie declared. A committee, consisting of Hy Ejlers, S. S. Hewitt and Ralph Routledge, was appointed by motion to confer with the Greater Portland Plans Association and assist in its campaign for park , and playground extension, and this same committee was instructed to confer with Mr. Larson and take steps to make use of the proposition offered by him. L. H. Wier was the first speaker of the afternoon, describing the value of park extension in cities. He was fol lowed by V. Vincent lones, of the Greater Portland Plans Association's park and playground committee, who aroused the Admen to a great pitch of enthusiasm in a speech, upon the im mediate demand for park and play ground facilities on an increased scale in Portland. He declared that we have now less than one-fourth of the acre age of para: and playground land de manded by a population of the sfzi that Portland has, and gave a warning against delay In the-development of the park and playground system unti. ater the opening flood of immigration through the Panama Canal shall have swelled the population to a condition still more out of proportion with its park facilities. The suggestion of W. L. Crissey that Oregon be named the "valentine State, because of its having been admitted to the Union on St. Valentine's day. was advanced before the club by Tom Richardson and met with favor. A committee was appointed to look into the suggestion and to report back at the next meeting of the club. A com mittee was also appointed to confer with the Royal Rosarians concerning preparations for the next annual Rose Festival at the meeting of the latter organization at the Commercial Club Monday night.

JUSTICE HOLDS FOUR Young Men Will Face Grand Jury on Gambling Charge. DEFENDANTS ARE WARNED Court Delivers Lecture to Boys on Dangers of Playing Games of Chance Decision Approved by Court Onlookers. Four young men were held to the grand jury yesterday by Justice Bell in the justice court on a charge of gambling. This is the first of the cases brought up under the regime of Tom Word as Sheriff, In his efforts to put down all cardplaying for money. At the close Justice Bell de livered a warning to the boys on the folly of their act, adding that he would uphold the officers to the best of his ability in carrying out their duty. , . S. W. Keeney, Edward Blake, W. C. Struve. Arthur Barlow and T. F. Funk were arrested on a charge of gambling at Montavilla. No effort was made in court to include Funk, as he was not playing. He was accord ingly discharged. Judge GlTes Lecture. After an attempt had been made to prove that they were merely paying 5 cents each for the game. In otner words, merely a nominal stake, the loser to pay for all, with a conse quent plea that they be discharged or held answerable to the judge for their good behavior. Justice Bell, In deliv ering judment, remarked: "No matter how small the stake, no atter If it were even for a match or a piece of paper, I should not be doing my duty, as 1 understand the law, it I did not hold these young men to the grand jury. They may have had a lesson, and they may have been play ing merely for a trifling stake, but it Is just right here that lads get the habit to go wrong. They start in with a trifle and then they get the habit Once obtained that habit is so diffi cult to break that hardly ever do any of these boys give up the game. There fore they must have a still greater les son tha"n the mere act of being brought up before this court. They are held to the grand jury." Man ThanSca Court. At the conclusion an elderly man, who had been attending patiently to the whole hearing, advanced to Jus tice Bell and thanked him for his de cision. "I watched this case eagerly," he said, "because I have a son who has lost hundreds of dollars in gambling this way, and yet in every other re spect he is an Ideal lad. Now I know he will curb himself, for. he will see that the law is getting after them." YOONG WIFE STARVES HUSBAND OCT OF WORK ASKS MONET FROM SLEUTHS. Detectives Investigate Case, Find It Worthy and "Mooch'' Food and Clothing With Agility. Two detectives proved to be better "moochers" than E. P. Turner, when they set out to provide necessities for him and his wife, after arresting him for beeeine and finding that his story of a starving wife was true. Police Detectives Abbott and Tichenor gath ered together sufficient food, money and clothing to place Turner out of want for the day. Now they are trying to find him a position. Turner, who is 21 years old, came to Portland from Vancouver, B. C, after his weddine- to 17-year-old Mrs, Turner, In spite of the expressed disapproval of his parents, who are said to De weii-to-do people. His first position ended with a general cut down in the firm's office expenses, and he has been hard put to it to find another place, although he is a clever and well-educated book keper and accountant. Having pawned his overcoat and hat to get food for his wife, who lay in bed in their rooms to keep herself warm. Turner went out Tuesday night to beg for money to buy them food. He had secured 10 cents and was about to buy bread with it when he saw the two detectives and approached them.

The research laboratory of The Swift Specific Co. has collected a vast amount of information regarding the spread of blood diseases. In thousands of Instances the most virulent types have been the re sult of coming in contact with disease germs In public places, and the apparent ly insignificant pimple has been the causa It spreads with astonishing ra pidity, often infecting the entire system in a few days. It is fortunate, however, that there Is a remedy to cope quickly and thoroughly with such a condition, and thanks to the energy of its producers the famous S. S. S. may not be had at almost any drug store in the civilized world. This preparation stands alone anions; specific remedies as a blood purifier. It Is somewhat revolutionary in its compo sition,' since it accomplishes all that was ever claimed for mercury, iodides, arsenic and other destructive mineral drugs, and yet it is absolutely a purely vegetable product. There are more cases of artic ular rheumatism, locomotor ataxia, pa resis, neuritis and similar diseases result ant from the use of minerals than from disease germs direct. These facts are brought out in a highly Interesting book compiled by the medical department of The Swift Specific Co., 127 Swift Bldg Atlanta, Ga. , It is mailed free, together with a special letter of advice to all who are struggling with a blood disease Get a $1-00 bottle of S. S. S. to-day of your druggist. It will surprise you with its wonderful action in th blood. kind ot fender by entering on the rec ords the reason for doing so. This the Portland City Council did by adopting the Nelson fender over the protests of the company, giving the company until September, 1912, to have all Its ears equipped. Mr. Evans says that the city violated the law by failing to make a record of the reasons for making the change and that, anyway, the company has not nearly all its cars equipped as provided by the ordinance, although the time expired several months ago. According to Harrison Allen, of counsel for the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company, the company contends that it is within the province of the city and not the state to regu late the fender question. District At torney Evans says that it has been figured-out that the company would have to pay millions of dollars in fines if all violations of the fender law were prosecuted.
