T
DREDGE PROTESTED
Chamber of Commerce Sends
Telegr
jram to Mr. Teal to
Keep Up Fight.
CONFERENCE IS WANTED
Sleeting in Washington Attended by
Mr. McKInstry, James J. Hill,
( Colonel dough, und Others
Suggested In Message.
The Portland Chamber of Commerce
yesterday sent telegrams to J. N. Teat
and Senator Chamberlain in Washing
ton, r. C, protesting against the de
cisions of the engineers of the War
T-epartment against the bill for the
appropriation for a dredge for service
at the mouth of the Columbia River.
Whether or not the jetty work is
conducted from this time on under a
continuing contract, it would at the
least be five or six years before the
Jetty would produce results, it was
pointed out in the telegram. The ex
perience with the dredge Chinook last
Summer shows that immediate bene
fits can be obtained by dredging, and
this the chamber desires to get.
The texts of telegrams sent to Mr.
Teal follow:
"It is an utter impossibility, even
with a continuing contract, to com
plete the north jetty in three years.
"Mclndoe's letter to us estimated six
years will be required and that an
additional year must elapse before the
desired results will be accomplished.
"The same letter expressed the hope
that dumping of rock would be begun
In 1913, but as you know, this has been
delayed until 1914.
"We view with consternation and
dismay the proposition to postpone
further consideration of the new
dredge, and feel that you should have
a conference in Washington attended
by McKinstry; also that James J. Hill,
Colonel Clough and others should be
Invited to attend."
"Senator Chamberlain's position as
chairman of the committee on military
affairs should enable htm to request
the Engineering? Department to instruct
Mclvinstry to proceed to Washington,
and we wish he would avail himself
of this while you are there."
Procrretts Is Reported.
The report of Messrs. Teal and Aver
Ill on the progress made previous to
yesterday was embodied in the follow
ing telegram sent to the Chamber of
Commerce:
"We had a two hours' meeting
Thursday with the, chief of engineers
and Colonel Taylor, the entire dele
gation, Senator Poindexter and others
being present.
"Their position Is that efforts should
be concentrated on securing a continuing-
contract for the north jetty. In
the meantime they are preparing plans
for a dredgo which will be ready next
Kail, and if the" work of the Chinook
tshows results this year, they plan to
secure an appropriation for the dredge
In next bill. If the appropriation is
secured, they assert, will mean only
a delay under any circumstances, of
lour or five months in the completion
of dredge.
"They assert this cotirse will not
only produce better results, but little
time will be lost in ultimate comple
tion of the dredge. This will be their
position If called before the commit
tee. At this time Colonel McKinstry's
presence here would not be productive
of results, as there would be no com
mittee for him to appear before now.
Pleas advise Messrs. Plttock, Seeley
and Kinney, who have telegraphed us
urging Colonel McKinstry's coming to
Washington."
TEMPERANCE UNION MEETS

FISH TRAPPERS AROUSED
Action of Washington Stale Commis
sioner Roils North Shore Men.
ASTORIA, Or.. Feb. 13. (Special.)
7'he action of L. H. Darwin, Washing
DECISION
AGAINS
ton State Fish .Commissioner, in direct
ing that trap and wheel owners shall
make monthly reports of their catches
instead of waiting: until the close of
the season as heretofore, is said to
have aroused the ire of all the trap
pers on the north shore of the lower
Columbia. River. Under the Washing
ton law, a tax of )t a thousand fish
Is imposed on the catch made by every
wheel and trap in the state. This is
In addition to the location tax and the
license fees and heretofore it has not
applied to any other class of gear.
Recently, however, a protest against
the tax was made by trappers with a
result that the Fish Commissioner an
nounces that beginning- the coming sea
son he will impose the tax on the
catch made by the gillnets and seines.
Only a few of the Columbia River
seines lie in the State of Washington
but quite a number of the gill-netters
have secured licenses for that state.
The result of this new ruling if en
forced probably will be that a ma
jority of these glll-netters will in the
future obtain their licenses from the
Oregon authorities.
GREAT STRUCTURES HIT
SEATTLE SCHOOL HEAD CONDEMNS
PRESENT PLANS.
Discredit Placed on Idea of Construct
ing Costly Fireproof School
Ilousea Today.
Not only Portland but the whole
Northwest is inclined to build public
schoolhouses too substantially and too
expensively, was the assertion of
Frank B. Cooper. Superintendent of
City Schools in Seattle, who was a
visitor in Portland yesterday.
"Regardless of the patent fact that
the cities of the Pacific Coast are in
a period of rapid and enormous growth,
and continuous and marked shiftings
of population centers, which may go
on for many years, we are erecting
great fireproof structures that will last
for centuries, barring unusual ac
cident," he said.
"While I do not minimize the im
portance of making the buildings
wholly safe for the children, I do not
think that the expensive and massive
fireproof structures that we are erect
ing are necessary. The system of fire,
drills which you have here, whereby
you can empty your largest building
within a minute, makes a building
partially nreproor and less expensive
fully as good as the fireproof buildings
of costlier structure.
"You ma'y point to the danger from
Are panic in such buildings. But the
danger of panic is as great and Its
results would be as serious in a wholly
fireproof building as in a partially fire
proof building.
"It is a hard matter for one to
predict just what the educational sys
tem or tne next few decades will de
mand, n is proDaoie mat its demands
will be such as to put out of date
many of the school buildings and
equipments which are now in service."
Superintendent- Cooper visited the
high schools of the city yesterday and
inspected the Trades School. He nraised
nigniy tne development of the Trades
School, which, he says, is far in ad
vance of the Seattle schools in dealing
witn tne question or vocational train
ing. Yesterday afternoon he addressed
the teachers at the Lincoln High School
and last night he was the guest of
honor at a dinner given under the
auspices of the Portland Educational
Association. He will return to Seat
tle today.
APPRAISAL T0 BE MADE
City Commission Appropriates $5000
to Push Carfare Case.
The City Commission yesterday com
promised on an appropriation of $5000
to cover the cost of making an ap
praisal of the property of the Portland
Railway, Light & Power Company and
by unanimous vote passed an appropri
ating ordinance with an emergency
clause attached, which makes the $5000
for the appraisal available for immedi
ate expenditure by Commissioner Daly.
Originally Mr. Daly asked for $7500
for the appraisal, but at the request of
other Commissioners cut the amount
down to $5000.
The appraisal of the property of the
company will be presented to the State
Railroad Commission with the city's
views in regard to a reduction In
streetcar fares. The Railroad Commis
sion has men in the field making an
appraisal of the same kind.
DR. MARY A. THOMPSON
KEEPS 89TH BIRTHDAY
Club Woman and Suffrage Leader, After Practicing Medicine 40 Years
and Being Bread-Winner for Crippled Husband, Still "Young."
-rv ON'T fret"
I at x no bii ougi.it wa&ica in
tears and vain regrets would
build a world.
"Don't complain of your burden, but
carry it so that it won't crowd every
one else off the walk.
God is in all' things, through all
things and there is no such thing as
death."
This is some of the philosophy of
life that has made Dr. Mary A. Thomp
son 'on her S9th birthday the "youngest
member of the Portland Woman's Club."
Dr. Thompson (Mary Anna Cooke)
was born in New York City on Valen
tine's day. 1S25. At a very early age
she began to take an active part in
the work-a-day world. When Mary was
only 9 years old and a small 9 at that,
the family went to Newark to live.
Mary's father was an inventor, a stu
dent, a dreamer, but he was also a
turner who made many little novelties
and each week his little daughter took
her handbag and basket of these novel
ties over to the city, sold them and re
turned to the family home with the
money carefully pinned in her pocket.
Besides helping in this ' way, the child
took care of her many little brothers
and sisters.
"I began to study medicine a year
after I was married," said Dr. Thomp
son, "and, after 10 years of profound
reading, started to practice. My ability
to earn a living came in handy, too, for
later on my husband, who was a con
tractor and builder, fell from a high
building,' was injured and remained an
invalid for 19 years.
"I never complained.- I had six chil
dren and raised four of them and a
niece as well. I never raised my voice
in disciplining them. My children knew
that when I said anything in a quiet,
firm way, that I must be obeyed. Moth
ers who yell at their children or try
at any time to make an impression by
raising their voices, are only making
themselves rioiculous and .failing in1
their purpose.
"Women doctors weren't popular in
the early days,.-but I had such a great
love for children and such a practical
lot of knowledge of women that I soon
built up a big practice. Suffrage was
one of my hobbies, too.
"I have been in Portland 47 years
and it was 37 years ago when I went
back Fast to Washington to attend a
National suffrage meeting. We assem

the White House. Henrietta Beecher
Hooker made a speech and there was
some singing and some praying,' but

enthusiasts got into a row and there
WORK TO BE PUSHED
Jetty Pilings Ordered From In-man-Poulsen
Company.
DUMPING TO BE HASTENED
Dredge Soon to Have Channel Cut
for Rock Barges and Amount of
Material Handled Iiikely
' ' Will Be Doubled.
From the Kelso camp of the Inman-
Poulsen Lumber Company will be
drawn 400 piling, running from 80 to
85 feet long, to be used on the North
Jetty at the mouth of the Columbia.
A contract was awarded yesterday on
a basis of 15 cents a lineal foot.
The stage is being set rapidly lor a
whirlwind season on the Jetty project
and while 2000 tons of rock are being
dumped dally. In three weeks it is
thought the amount will be increased
to 3000 tons and later to at least 4000
tons. In three weeks, unless storms or
breakdown cause a suspension of
digging, the dredge Columbia will have
cut her way through to deepwater, giv
ing a channel with- a least depth of
eight feet and for most of the distance
11 feet.
As rock-laden barges are now being
sent across the bay when tides are fa
vorable, an eight-foot depth will per
mit of frequent deliveries and with 11
feet the movements will be unrestrict
ed. At Fort Canby, where the barges
are unloaded, the full derrick equip
ment is .being, made ready and even
faster work on dumping rock along the
Jetty is hoped for than was the case at
Fort Stevens with the South Jetty,
where often in excess of 4000 tons were
distributed in a day.
Gerald Bagnall, assistant engineer,
having supervision over the lower
river project, says at the present rate
the dredge Columbia is handling ma
terial at a cost to the Government of
about 22 cents a cubic yard, a basis
that is regarded reasonable. During
January the big machine lost about
20 working days, part of which time
storms prevailed and the remainder of
which was occupied in repairing dam
age. At other periods unfavorable con
ditions prevented the best results being
obtained, therefore the cost of nan
dling material was higher.
An effort is being made to find a
berth for the bar dredge Chinook, now
at the Government moorings, which is
to have new pumps and engines in
stalled soon. Her work will be hurried
so she can be returned to the bar dur
ing the forepart of the season. . Of an
off-hand estimate of 1,000,000 yards of
material that should be moved from
the bar in a season to insure the best
results in Winter, it is said the Chi
nook will be capable of moving more
than two-thirds.
TIVERTOX'S CARGO ASSURED
Portland Dealers Lend Hearty Sup
port to Xew Line.
When one shipper increased his con
signments on the steamer Tiverton for
Puget Sound from 30 to 75 tons yester
day and enough other cargo was ar
ranged for to insure the vessel havirjf
a full load when she is dispatched on
her initial voyage tonight, there was
a scurrying to cover of skeptics who
had vouchsafed from the start that
there would be no business.
Fearing that the Tiverton might not
get all stuff aboard on time she was
started loading yesterday immediately
on her San Francisco freight being dis
charged. N. F. Titus, of the Pacific
Steamship Company, operating the ship,
says there has been more inquiry than
he looked for at the outset and he feels
assured that no mistake has been made
in launching the service.

The proposal made by the Port of
Portland Commission Thursday to send
the dredge Willamette to dig in front
of the public dock at the foot of Seven
teenth street, making a charge there
for at the rate of $350 a day. has raised
a question because the Port recently
proposed to dredge free of charge In
front of any waterfront property that
was bulkheaded. The Port officials
maintain there is no reason why dredg
ing should be free for a municipal body
any more than there should be for the
United States Government.
HAWAIIAN'S MAKE INQUIRIES
Oregon Firms Communicated With
by Prospective Bayers.
Failure on the part of the Pacific
Steamship Company to close for the
steamer Alliance, recently offered by
the North Pacific Steamship Company,
for the Portland-Alaska run, has not
deterred the promoters from continu
ing negotiations for a vessel with
passenger accommodations and fair
cargo capacity.
As to . the Portland-Honolulu serv
ice, which will be directed by virtu
ally the same interests, using the
steamer Leelanaw, Portland firms al
ready have been approached by Ha
waiian business men relative to goods
and prices. As the Leelanaw is to be
sent direct from Portland to the Ha
waiian Islands, Oregon firms will be
given a better opportunity to compete
with those of California.

ROBBER GETS FEW PENNIES
Slot Machines Found on AVaterfront
After Being Pilfered.
Members of the harbor patrol 'force
yesterday found a penny-ln-the-slot
peanut vending machine badly- broken
and emptied on Oak-street dock, having
been torn from an uptown location by
thieves. It is estimated 5 cents was ob
talned. Peanuts scattered in heaps
about the machine attested to the fact
it was not hunger that drove the thief
to the act.
A few days ago a ' penny machine
used in the sale of matches was found
beneath the west approach of the
O.-W. R. & N. bridge with peniies and
matches gone. The owner estimated
that not to exceed 25 cents was in the
machine.

George Baker, of the Rose Festival As

Reliable evidence is abundant that women
are constantly being restored to health by
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
The many testimonial letters that we are continually pub
lishing in the newspapers hundreds of them are all genu
ine,, true and unsolicited expressions of heartfelt gratitude
for the freedom from suffering that has come to these
women solely through the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
Money could" not buy nor any kind of influence obtain
such recommendations ; you may depend upon it that any
testimonial we publish is honest and true if you have any
doubt of this write to the women whose true names and
addresses are always given, and learn for yourself.
Read this one from Mrs. Waters:
Camden, N. J . " I was sick for two years with nervous spells, and
my kidneys were affected. I had a doctor all the time and used a
plvanic battery, but nothing did me any good- I was not able to go
to bed, but spent my time on a couch or in a sleeping-chair, and soon
became almost a skeleton. Finally my doctor went away for his
health, and my husband heard of Lvdia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound and got me some. In two months I got relief and now I
am like a new woman and am at my usual weight. I recommend
your medicine to every one and so does my husband." Mrs. Tillix
Waters, 1135 Knight St, Camden, N.J.
And this one from Mrs. Haddock:
Utica, Okla. "I was weak and
r , iTICr i" lr . X , J. uauue, iieauacne, palpi
tation of .the heart, trouble with my bowels, and inflammation. Since
takins: the Lvdia E. Pinkham'u Vo-otoV.ia rv i t . ...
than I have been for twenty years. I think it is a wonderful medi
cine and I have recommended it to others." Airs. Makt Ann- Had
dock, Utica, Oklahoma.
Now answer this question if you can. Why should a
woman continue to suffer without first giving Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial ? You know that
it has saved many others why should it fail in your case?
For 30 years .Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
compound has been the standard remedy for fe
male LUs. No one sick with woman's ailments
does justice to herself if she does not try this fa
mous medicine made from roots and herbs, it
has restored so many suffering-women to health.

DEMERITS TO BE ERASED
Commissioner Dieck Sends Letters to
Employes in 'His Department.
To eliminate the objection made to
the city's new efficiency system, which
provides demerit marks for sickness
or absence from work for any cause.
City Commissioner Dieck yesterday is
sued a circular letter to all employes
in his department notifying them that
if they make sufficient showing that
their absence from work was on ac
count of real sickness or other reasons
beyond their control, he will recom
mend to the Civil Service Board that
the demerits be removed.
The question of changing the entire
efficiency system was before the Com
mission yesterday, but action on it
was deferred until next Wednesday.
The proposed amendment which has
been introduced by Mayor Albee elim
inates all demerits for sickness or
forced absence from work on the part
of employes.

AGREEABLE SURPRISE
Had No Faith, in Plant Juice When
He Started Using It, but Now
Recommends Highly.
There is not a better known man in
the state of Washington than Mr. J.
C. Campbell, who lives in Christopher,
and whose-postof flee address is R. F.
D. ' box No. 124, Auburn. Mr. Campbell
is a retired farmer and has lived in
the state of Washington for the past
twenty-five years, he is one of the old
soldiers and came out of the army
with a wrecked stomach as so many of
our brave men did. He says:
"I have had stomach trouble for
thirty-five years or more and catarrh
for the past ten years. I had a con
tinual buzzing, roaring sound in my
ears, my head was badly stopped up
in the morning and my stomach would
not digest my food. The roaring kept
getting worse and I was unable to get
anything to do me any good. To be
honest with you I did not have much
faith in your Plant Juice when I first
started taking it, for I had tried o
many things that failed. 1 am glad to
tell you that I was agreeably surprised
the roaring and buzzing in my head
have completely stopped, my stomach is
better than It has been for thirty years.
1 have every reason to believe that
Planf Juice will do all that you claim
for it."
As a constitutional treatment for
catarrh Plant Juice has no equal, it
heals and soothes the mucous mem
branes and keeps them clean and
healthy, tones up the entire system,
aids indigestion, sharpens the appe
tite, relieves constipation and gives
sound restful sleep. Sold at the Owl
Drug Company's stores. Adv.
