OGEAH LINES 1 EKGE Increased Trade Between Pa cific and Europe Promised. SERVICE BEGINS IN 1914 Hamburg-American ami Welsford Merger Will Take Place of In dependent Service Except Excursion Vess-1. Development of the Xorth Pacific trade with the European continental markets is promised through a merger of interests between the Hamburg American line and J. H. TVelsford. of Liverpool, ownor of the Ikala. Ikalls and other vessels known on the Coast. It Is reported from abroad that the two will establish a corporation with a cap- tallzatlon of 2,500.000 to handle the business with the opening or tne i-ana-ma Canal. J. H. "Wclsford & Co.. Limited, con trol many vessels and direct the Gulf Transport Line, and the tact tnai cur ing the last few months the Hamburg American has taken over several large cargo vessels of speed and that the Welsford holdings on the seas have been augmented. Is regarded as con firmatory evidence of the consumma tion of the deal. Each concern is to place an equal number of carriers Into a pool that will represent the new line, and early next year the service Is to begin. The Hamburg-American haa contem plated an ail-American service through an arrangement with capitalists in the United States, also a Hamburg-Ameri can line was planned via the canal, so It i assumed that the merger or In terests with the Welsford line will take the nlsLce of the independent service, except as to excursion vessels and those plying In the immigrant class. The new departure will have no ma terlal effect on the line recently started from Hamburg via the Orient to Portland, as It Is intended to con tinue that regardless of the canal s ad vantages. It taps a different territory and. so far as the North Pacific Coast Is concerned, will mostly handle trade to and from the Orient. SAX HAMOX ATUUVES HERE Dodge Flagship Represents Latest In Steam Schooners. Introducing the latest in steam schooner passenger accommodations, the new steamer San Roman, flying the flag of the E. J. Dodge line, her owner, entered the harbor yesterday and berthed at Couch-street dock. Her general appearance is much the same as others of her type, save that her hurricane deck Is occupied by a cabin in which are staterooms, a bath and other conveniences. The San Ramon has a license for 48 flflrst-class passengers and carries no steeraf e. Each stateroom has hot and cold rtnnlng water and the social hall and saloon are lsrge and attractive. On her trial trip she developed a speed of 11.8 knots and on the run up the Coast did better than 10 knots. The vessel Is 210 feet long, has a beam of 41. feet and her depth of hold Is 18.6 feet. She has a lumber capacity of 1.000.000 feet and will take her first cargo from the mill of the Portland Lumber Company and clear fof Los Angeles. Captain T. A.

More than 76 petitions of' candi dates for Commissionershlps under the new commission government in Port land are to be filed within the next few days by Christopher J. Hayes, an attorney, who has gone into the pe tition circulating business temporarily. Mr. Hayes reported his intention yes terday to City Auditor Barbur, to whom he applied for a supply of 75 petitions. Inasmuch as the demand was more than could be supplied by the city, Mr. Hayes was instructed to have the petitions printed himself, which he did yester day afternoon. Notaries public employed by Mr. Hayes started work yesterday with the petitions of 32 candidates. The peti tions of about a dozen of the candi dates were completed and will be filed today or tomorrow. The notaries will continue their work until they get the list of candidates all fixed up with properly signed petitions. Mr. Hayes says he will file no less than 30 of the petitions before the end of this week. "I have a long list of persons who are undecided as to whether or not they will get into the race. Counting these and those who have given me the contract for the petitions the number will run considerably over 75. I have a number of notaries busy getting the required number of signatures on the petitions." Mr. Hayes declined to make public the list of candidates for whom he is working. In addition to his list of aspirants for Commissionershlps he an nounces that he has about five candi dates out for Mayor whose petitions will be filed also within a few days. The rush of candidates at the office of City Auditor Barbur which has been under way since last Saturday quieted down yesterday, there being but three new filings during the day. These were E. House, Edward Ryan and George A. Long. There were no new candidates for Mayor or City Auditor. Since January 6. when he left the Sheriff's office as deputy under Sheriff Stevens, W. B. Holllngsworth, candidate for Commissioner, says that he has been In the employ of the Baker Electric Automobile Company as salesman, on commission. That he is not a pronounced candi date and a self-seeker for the Job, is the announcement of J. R. Wood, whose name has been mentioned for Commis- Fine Remedy For Eczema Also for Salt Rheum, Tetter. Psoriasis, Lupus, and All Skin Afflictions. 0 Even a Microscope Won't Find s) Blexnlsk After 8. 9. S. Geta Through. All skin troubles should be attacked from within - by giving the blood cir culation a good daily bath. This is accomplished with S. S. 8., the best known and most highly recommended blood purlfler ever discovered. Its action is very rapid. Its vegetable nature is such that it naturally goes right Into the blood, saturates the entire circulation, bathes the tissues with an influence that enables the skin to heal quickly. The action of S. S. S. Is that of an antidote, and this fact has been demonstrated time and time again in the most severs forms of weeping eczema. Its influence in the tissues where the tiny arteries transfer the red blood for the worn out blood to the veins is quite remarkable and goes on constantly with evKity tick of the clock the beat of the heart. And new skin is thus caused to form while the germs of irritating influ ences that cause - eczema are scattered and their harmful nature entirely sus pended. 8. S. S. has a wonderful tonic in fluence in the blood because it con tains no "dope," is not a "physic," is entirely free of any mineral drugs or any other drugs except the remark able medicinal effect of the pure vege table products of which it is made. Few people realize how harmful are many of the strong, crude ointments that used to be in favor before they learned that S. S. S. Is safe, speedy and sure. Ask at any drug store for a bottle of S. S. S. Give it a good trial and you will soon see a decided improvement in any form of skin trouble. Write to The Swift Specific Co.. 137 Swift Bldg., Atlanta, Ga.. for special free advice on eczema and any other form of skin or blood trouble.

"I have had many people call on me to ask me to run for the office," said Mr. Wood. 'Tf it is the desire of the business men of Portland to have me become a candidate, they will have to get up my petition. I have been a resident of Portland for 19 years, and if my experience in business is such that it warrants my candidacy, the citi zenship who reap the benefit must take the initial step towards perfecting an plan which would lead to my entering the campaign."
