contract for the second unit and for
tho new Lower Albina ferry landing,
and the work is under way that will
result in the completion of a dock 1075
feet long.
The Commission discussed insurance
on the structure and decided to cover
it to the extent of $125,000 for three
years and to apportion the business
among various agencies in the city, so
that not more than f 5000 would bo car
ried by each.
On a report by G. B. Ilegardt, chief

Facing the necessity of cither leav
ing cargo behind or stowing the over
Cow on deck and covering it with tar
paulins. Captain Green, of the steamer
Tiverton, and N. F. Titus, manager of
the new line from Portland to British
Columbia and Puget Sound points,
adopted the latter course yesterday so
the vessel "got away last night with all
.freight accepted.
At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon

for San Francisco Delivery.
Balfour. Guthrie & Co. has taken the
steamer Siskiyou, which arrived at Los

trade, the vessel will work a deckload
. of lumber.
On the departure of the Amerlcan
ILawalian steamer Paralso last night
for San Francisco, she carried 1000 tons
of wheat, an unusually large shipment
of grain for that line, but It is said to
be between seasons, and with 0 tons

seasons. Winter ends with the depart
ure at 4 o'clock this afternoon of the
steamer Beaver, she being the last to
leave on the late timecard for Cali
fornia, as the steamer Rose City, due
tomorrow, and which sails April 2. de
parts that day at 9 o'clock in the morn
ing. Southbound vessels will continue
to leave at that hour until October.
Inbound California steamers will be
more heavily patronized during the
next month than those headed in the
opposite direction, for the northern
travel is under way in full swing
and the annual exodus of vacation
ists is not looked for until the latter
part of May or early in June. It i
the off season for cargo for California
and, while Ainsworth dock contained
freight awaiting shipment, much of
the time until a few weeks ago, the
Beaver will have no overflow to leave
today.

president of the Alaska Steamship
Company, who returned from San Fran
cisco today, denied the report that his
company had been negotiating for the

lied with the White Pass & Yukon Rail
road in the movement to purchase the
Northern Navigation Company, which

COAL MAY BE $1 TON LESS
Dealers Say Permission to Dump In
Street Will Lower Cost.
The price of coal In Portland will be
reduced at least SI a ton if the City
Council will change the present street
ordinances to the extent of permitting
dealers to dump the coal in the street
in front of the place of delivery. In
stead of requiring it to be sacked and
delivered without spilling any of It
on the streets, according to a promise
made yesterday by coal dealers to the
City Commission. The matter was taken
under consideration.
The dealers say it costs a great deal
to furnish sacks and costs considerable
to sack the coal and carry It Into the
bouse upon delivery.
HARBOR CHANGE TALKED
COL. M'KIXSTRV MEETS ASTOIUA
WATERFRONT LANDOWNERS.
Mlvlna- Pierhead Line Outward Said to
: Depend on Unanimous Request
of Those Interested.
ASTORIA, Or.. March 26. (Special.)
Colonel C. H. McKlnstry, of the
United States Engineers, met owners o
waterfront property In the east end of
the" city today to consider the petition
of the Port of Astoria Commission, ask
ing for the removal of the pierhead line
to a point several hundred feet fur
ther out. After hearing the arguments
Colonel McKlnstry declined to recom
mend the change unless all the inter
ested property owners state In writing
that they want the extension made and
that it is necessary for the accommo
datton of shipping.
The O.-W. R. & N. representatives
said their company was satisfied with
the line as It is, while the Spokane,
Portland & Seattle representatives
made no objection to the change, but
did not urge it. In defining his views
on the subject, Colonel McKlnstry said:
"It is an easy matter to move the
pierhead line outward, but practically
impossible to move it back; therefore
unless immediate business justifies an
extension should not be made. This is
quite an important matter and will need
the approval of all the property own
ers in writing before I can consistently
recommend the change. There must be
some reasons to show that additional
harbor facilities will be needed within
at least the next two years, otherwise
the extension might prove a detriment
to shipping.
At one point of the proposed exten
sion the distance is fully 1000 feet and
if a single wharf occupied the space to
the new pierhead line, without other
Improvements filling the space, I
am sure shipping interests would not
approve it. It would be difficult to
correct such a condition once the im-
provement was made. It Is, therefore,
necessary for me to secure the Indorse
ment of all interests, and I feel sure
the property ownwers will have no ob
Jectlon to placing their views in writ'
ing. With this Information I can pre-
Kent the matter before the Department
for its adoption.
LUMBER RULE ANNOYS
ROYAL MAIL OFFICIALS WANT TO
LOAD CARDIGANSHIRE AT NIGHT.
Representative Says That Rough Lum
ber for Orient Could Be Passed as
Well After Dark as by Day.
Regulations governing tallying ex
port lumber under the Jurisdiction of
the Pacific Lumber Inspection Bureau,
which prevent the loading of cargo at
night unless a certificate is accepted
by the steamship interests in which
it is shown that the material was tak
en on after daylight, are objected to
by Royal Mail Steam Packet Company
officials, who contend that the liner
Cardiganshire, now in port and which
starts working lumber at Linnton to
day, will be detained three to four days
because it is impossible to work over
time.
S. W. Alexander, secretary of the
bureau, said yesterday that reports to
the effect tha lumber for the Orient
was loaded at night on Puget Sound
under different rules or in disregard of
the system, were erroneous.
"Regulations of the Pacific Lumber
Inspection Bureau are in force from
British Columbia to Coos Bay," he
said. "We are net stopping the load
ing at night, but under such circum
stances the certificate of Inspection
would show what amount of material
went aboard after daylight and we
would state on the certificate that we
would not certify as to grade and
quality."
The Royal Mail officials contend
that the Cardiganshire, being equipped
with powerful electric ' arc lights,
could be loaded at night with the
rough lumber going to the Far East.
They say the rule will prevent the
large steamers of the line taking on
lumber here in the future, as the ex
pense in port Is approximately $1000
a day.
E. J. Martyn Nash, American and
Canadian representative of the line,
said yesterday that he could appre
ciate the value of the rule with refer
ence to lumber going to Australia and
the United Kingdom, but the Oriental
grades, he declared, could be passed on
as well at night as in daytime.

SHIP MAN TELLS NEEDS
J. M. NASH, OP ROYAL MAIL LINE,
URGES DEEP CHANNEL.
Columbia River Will Not Get Full
Share of European Steamers
Otherwise, He Says.
In the opinion of E. J. M. Nash, rep
resentative of the Royal Mail 6 team
Packet Company for the United States
and Canada, which operates steamships
in all parts of the world, it Is neces
sary that a broad, deep channel be ex
cavated across the Columbia River bar
and that facilities for quick dispatch
of vessels at the mouth of the river
be provided, or the larger and faster
steamships will not call at the Colum
bia River after tntj Panama Canal Is
opened. Mr. Nash has been In Port
land for a week.
"All of the European freight for the
Pacific Coast now going through the
Suez Canal will go through the Panama
Canal," said Mr. Nash yesterday. "The
ships carrying that freight have pas
sengers and must get over their routes
as soon as possible. Unless fast or inter,
mediate ships carrying passengers can
call in at Astoria, discharge and take
on freight and passengers In one day,
they will not come to the Columbia
River, but will go north straight from
San Francisco. Such vessels will not
come up the Columbia River to Port
land, though tramp steamers will con
tinue to come here.
"If facilities were provided at As
toria, there would be no objection to
ships coming there to debark immi
grants, who would then save two days
as compared with going to Puget Sound
ports. '
"It would be to the advantage of the
railroads to extend to the mouth of the
Columbia in order to get the business
of the faster passenger ships."

The situation In Seattle and other
Puget Sound cities is handled by the
decree so that the patrons of the
Northwestern company may Inter
change communication with patrons of
the Sunset company in Tacoma and
with the Pacific company in Seattle,
Bellingham and Portland. This makes
it possible for the Northwestern to
reach three times as many subscribers
as it could reach before the Bell com
pany gained control of its stock in 1911.
The decree recites the circumstances
of the acquisition of the Northwestern
control by the Bell interests in 1911.
It is related that H. D. Pillsbury, of
Ban Francisco, general counsel for the
Bell interests on the Pacific Coast,
contracted with William Mead, an of

Mr. Pillsbury. the general Bell coun

when the decree was submitted to
Judge Bean for signature, and said in
court that the document complied with
the stipulations agreed to with the
Government officials. He has been In
Washington almost constantly for two
months negotiating with Attorney
General McReynolds.
Tho nature of the decree was fore
shadowed by the action of Attorney
General McReynolds last December
following the filing of an Eastern anti

THIS WOMAN SAYS
HER FROM YEARS OF SUFFERING
Victim of Arthritis Deformans Recovers Doctor Said Her
Rheumatic Condition Was Incurable
How she was saved from years of
suffering and helplessness by using
Akoz, the wonderful radio-active medic
inal mineral. Is told by Mri Jennie B.
Purdy, of Lodi, CaL, for two years a
victim of arthritis- deformans, one of
the worst forms of rheumatism. The
letter was unsolicited. It tells how she
suffered, how she tried other remedies
without success, how the doctors told
her there was no cure for her aliment,
how the joints of her body became
distorted and she could do no work
and how finally she camf to use Akoz
with the result that all pain has left
her and she Is able to do any kind of
work. Mrs. Purdy says:
"I feel that I should let you know
how much Akoz has helped me. It Is
nearly two years since I became af
flicted with an acute attack of arthritis
deformans, that dreadful form of rheu
matism which cripples the Joints, one
after another, until the patient is un
able to move a single Joint, not even
to bend the neck.
"At first I thought it only a severe
attack of inflammatory rheumatism
and began trying to get over it. I
doctored for several months before the
physician finally pronounced it arthri
tis and told me there was little or no
help for me, that it was seldom re
lieved to any extent and never cured.
It was like a death sentence to me,
for I was only about 43 years of age
and had always been very energetic,
and to anticipate 20 or 30 years of
helplessness fairly appalled me. How
ever, I determined to try everything I
heard of, and for the next year there
was not a liniment but I tried, every
patent medicine and every home reme
dy any one recommended, but I stead
ily grew worse. My nanos and wrists
became so misshapen and lame that I
could not do my own work, and would
spend a day or two in bed if I even
tried to do the most simple household
tasks. I couldn't shake a dust cloth
nor lift a teakettle without Intense
pain. I seemed to have It all over; my
MYSTERY EXCITES BOISE
ATTACK OX WOMAN FOLLOWS
SERIES OF ANONYMOUS LETTERS.
Police and Foatofflce Inspectors Baffled
by Attack on Wife of Promi
nent Mining; Man.
BOISE, Idaho, March 26 (Special.)
Mystery that has baffled tho local po
lice. Inspectors for the Postofflce De
partment and private detectives sur
rounds an attempt on the llfo of Mrs.
Robert McKinley, wife of a prominent
business and mining man of this city.
Mrs. McKinley and Dr. J. R. Numbers,
her physician, and a number of inti
mate friends have been the recipients
of many anonymous letters within the
past year.
Although this attack was made Mon
day night, the facts have only just been
made public. Mrs. McKinley was sum
moned to her front door on that night.
Opening the door sho was knocked
down by a rock striking her in the face,
cutting and bruising her. As she lay
half unconscious on the floor her as
sailant threw a bottle of carbolic acid
at her head, but fortunately it did not
strike her. '
It Is believed by the police that the
attack was made by the writer of the
anonymous letters. The letters Btarted
soon after Mrs. McKinley was operated
on by Dr. Numbers. The author of tho
letters first wrote to Dr. Numbers at
tacking Mrs. McKinley. This continued
for some time, other letters being writ
ten to members of the church of which
she was a member. Later the author of
the letter attacked the character and
professional reputation of Dr. Num
bers. Since then letters have been re
ceived by many of the friends of both.

AKOZ SAVED
feet, ankles, knees, hips, siioulde
hands, wrists and even my nook
suffered awful agony if I got chilled or
tried to work. Sometimes it seemed
that I must scream with the pain. C
took one month's electric treatment,
going every day to my physician, and
still I grew worse. Each week I
seemed worse than the preceding one.
"At last Akoz was recommended W
me. I sent for $5 worth and started
in, using the compound to allay the in
tense pain, and taking the internal
powder as directed.
"That was seven months ago. Today
I am doing all my own work, washing
included, and dressmaking every spare
moment. I never have an acute attack
now and suffer no pain to speak of;
my hands aro slowly but surely re
gaining their normal size, and even the
bony formations seem dissolving. And
for six weeks this Autumn I packed
grapes ten hours a day and did all my
housework besides, and was none the
worse for it.
"I told my physician, after I had
been using Akoz for several montb.
and he said it was only the waij
weather that iiwi helped me and wh
it became cold again I would be worse
again, but we have already had nearly
two weeks of pretty cold weather and
a heavy damp fog all the time, and
yet I have been no worse at all. I
write this in the earnest desire of help
ing someone else. My case has at
tracted considerable attention and
many have tried Akoz because it has
helped me so much. I am still using
it and expect to continue all Winter, at
least."
Thousands of similar letters telling
of the wonderful results obtained by
using Akoz for rheumatism, stomach
trouble, piles, eczema, catarrh and ul
cers have been received by the Natura
Company of San Francisco.
Akoz Is now being demonstrated at
The Owl Drugstore, at Broadway and
Washington, where further informa
tion may be had. regarding this advertisement.
