Newspaper Page TextTOE MORNING OREGONIAN. SATURDAY,, APRIL 26, 1913. 16 DOCKS ARE SECURED Hamburg-American Line Will Use North Bank Wharf. ROYAL MAIL DOES LIKEWISE Vesse Is or Both Companies 'Will Shift to Different Points When Suffi cient Cargo "Warrants HM Lines Likely to Benefit. Steamers of the Hamburg-American Una will discharge and load cargo at the North Bank dock, controlled by the Spokane. Portland Seattle Railroad Interests. A deal was closed yesterday for berths there, though for the past few weeks the Hamburg-American and O.-W. R. N. officials have been ne rotlatlnjr with a view to having the ateamers on the European-Oriental-Tortland route berth at Ainsworth dock. The Royal Mail Steam Packet Com pany, which will start its service next week, when the British steamer Har rafcus. which arrived yesterday from Valparaiso, is turned over to that com pany by the American Trading1 Com pany, will also use the North Bank dock. Arrangements for that purpose were made during the recent visit here of K- J. M. Nash, special representative for the Royal Mail in the United States and Canada. The vessels of both lines will shift to different docks for cargo when there is sufficient at any one point to war rant the moves, but all of the miscel laneous stuff to be loaded will be as sembled at the North Bank wharf, while much of the freight brought from tha Orient for transcontinental points will be discharged there to be loaded on tar. The fact the Hill lines have suc cessfully negotiated for both fleets is taken to indicate that they will receive the bulk of the rail business. At the same time the steamer lines wish to be given as much business originating in the Kast as possible and they say there will be an equitable exchange with the rail lines when they are favored. The Harpagus is to be drydocked here for cleaning and painting and will be turned over to the Royal Mall when that work is ended. She Is under char ter for one round voyage to the Orient and will be redelivered at San Fran cisco. The Falls of Orchy will be due In June from Europe with the first car go handled from that continent to this territory for the Royal Mail. The Slth onian. leading the Hamburg-American fleet, is looked for here May 17. MAHYIAXD GOES TO ALASKA Navy Department Will Have Exhibit Doring lioe Festival.

Let S. S. S. Rid Yon ot All Blood Disorders. If you are down with rheumatism; if you sneeze, feel chilled, are choked with catarrh, have a.

And you can easily give your blood a good, thorough cleansing, a bath, by using S. S. S. There la no reed for anyone to be despondent over the illness of blood impurities. No matter how badly they attack the sys tem, or how unsightly becomes the skin, just remember there is one in gredient in S. S. S. that so stimulates the cellular tissues throughout the body that each part selects its own essential nutriment from the blood. This means that all decay, all break ing down' of the tissues, is checked and repair work begins. S. S. S. has such a specific influence on ell local cells as to preserve their mutual welfare and afford a proper relative assistance to each other. More attention is being: given to constructive medicine than ever before and S. S. S. Is the highest achievement in this line. For many years people relied upon mercury. Iodide of potash, arsenic, "physics," cathartics and "dope" as remedies for blood sickness, but now- the pure, vepretablo S. S. S. is their safeguard. You can get S. S.
