Leggett, which sank a week ago off the Oregon coast. Includes the following: ' Michael Googan, P. Welch, Billy Sul livan, John Murphy, T. Veach and Pat rick Breen. Lists of the lost sent from Puget Sound, he says, are incorrect, as he has a complete record of the men in that department and hopes through the pub lication of their correct names to get in touch with relatives, so their bodies may be disposed of as they wish when recovered. ROSE CITY TO SAIL OX TIME Loss of Two Days Will Not Detain Portland-California Liner. Between the time of arrival of the steamer Rose City here tomorrow afternoon- and her scheduled hours of de parture at 9 o'clock Tuesday morning It is promised that her entire Inward cago will be discharged and a full outward cargo loaded so she will be ready to sail on the minute. The ship will be worked Sunday, and if neces sary at night. The Alnsworth dock family has given quick dispatch to the California liners in the past and is equipped and ready to repeat the per formance. The Rose City sailed from San Francisco at noon yesterday, two days behind schedule, having been de tained by her annual inspection and drydocking. The Beaver carried away 250 passen gers, of whom about 75 were in the steerage. She was almost an hour late In sailing because of the enormous amount of freight offered. "Bert" Ed dings left on his first voyage as purser, succeeding A. G. Ravenhill, who returns to England to enter the British army. Mr. Eddings is no novice, having served In the O.-W. R. & N. and Regulator Line vessels. JETTY ADVOCATES MEET HERE Cowlitz Project Awaits Approval of War Department. CHEHALIS, Wash.. Sept. 24. The Lewis County Board of Commissioners and the County Engineer went to Port land yesterday, where they will meet United states engineers regarding pro posed Jetty work Lewis County plans to do on the Cowlitz River above To ledo. The County Board last week de cided to spend $1500 in an effort to divert the water of the Cowlitz into its proper channel to save valuable bottom land from further damage by the stream during floods. The Board overlooked the fact that the War Department records show the stream to be navigable for several miles above Toledo, and that it is im possible for the work to proceed with out sanction from that arm, of the Na tional Government. It is thought that when the matter Is presented and Two Wheat Ships to Start Cargo Here During Coming: Week. To Join the 1914-15 wheat fleet, the French bark Vendee put out from New castle, N. S. W.. Monday and it is un derstood that she has a full cargo of coal, the vessel being consigned to Comyn, Mackall & Co. The little Brit ish ship Kirkcudbrightshire, which brought coal from Newcastle, is to be ready here for wheal early in the week. Her cargo will be supplied by Balfour, Guthrie & Co., which firm also has the British tramp Queen Adelaide that be gins loading cereal Monday, f It is reported in exporting circles that a German vessel has been offer ing for December loading at a reason able rate compared with present freights, but her engagement hinges on whether the European war is ter minated by that time, so it is supposed to be either the Dalbek or Kurt, which are now in the river. The British steamer Mexico City arrived in the river from San Francisco yesterday and left up at 4 o'clock in the after noon. She goes to Montgomery dock No. 2 and Is to take on 2500 tons of wheat for the West Coast, also loading general cargo. BONDS TO BE SOLD NEXT WEEK No Action Taken on City Attorney's Opinion as to Bulkhead Line. Bids are1 to be opened by the Com mission of Public Docks October 2 for the Bale of $50,500 improvement bonds, held as investment of sinking funds, and the proceeds will be utilized for the purchase of the Commission's own bonds, which are to be bid for October 6. It is confidently expected that a premium will be obtained for the im provement bonds, most of which are of comparatively small denomination. At a meeting of the Commission yes terday an opinion was read from City Attorney LaRoche, in which he said he was certain the Commission had the power to locate bulkhead lines on the waterfront. J. B. Ziegler asked that a committee be appointed to consider the opinion and determine whether the city can alter the present bulkhead line. No action was taken, but it probably will come up at the next session. Other business transacted was of a routine character. News From Oregon Porta. COOS BAT. Or., Sept. 24. (Special.)

At a meeting of the Port of Portland Commission yesterday further discus sion was indulged in relative to a pro posal to send one of the 30-inch suction dredges to Astoria to pump about 1,600,000 cubic yards of material from the river behind a bulkhead being con structed there, but definite action was deferred. Highest-grade professional upright pianos, also many others of old established makers, now at prices made by the manufacturers almost unbellev able. Read page 9, this paper, Adv. ships . have logs that record more trib ulations on one trip than were experi enced on a voyage just completed by the gasoline schooner Enterprise, which Jjnade the harbor yesterday from Wald port, ending a chapter of troubles which began at Newport, where' she caught fire when about ready to saiL Though she was not seriously dam aged, the fire furnished a most ex citing period for her small crew. Gasoline drums on deck were a menace. Edwin L. Jeter, of this city. who was aboard as an engineer's as sistant on his first trip on salt water, thought that the firing-line of tbe al lies and Germans was drawing near when the blaze caught a box of car tridges in his outfit and the cracking of the flames was punctuated by their explosion in fast succession. The run of the Enterprise to Waldport and to Portland, after Bhe had been repaired, was featured also; first by running into the blow that sent the steamer Francis H. Leggett to the bottom and later by aiding in the recovery of the bodies of eight who had been lost on the Leggett. During the worst of the storm Mr. Jeter found himself acting as steers man, the master of the Enterprise hav ing been taken violently ill, and A. G. Kingsiey, engineer, being fully occu pied with his engines. For a day and a night, heading. into a heavy sea and on her beam ends some of the time, the Enterprise labored along the coast. The amateur skipper stuck to the whee' r several hours at a stretch, once . while getting pointers from Kingsley, but when the weather cleared the skip. per recovered, fog lifted on entering the river and all was serene. The Enterprise looks little the worse for her experience and sails on the return tonight. DEER HEAD FOUND IN RIVER Supposed Snag Lifted' by Ocklahama Crew Proves to Be Prize. Added to trophies, souvenirs, prizes and other loot that have fallen into possession of the crew of the steamer Ocklahama during her numerous jour neys up and down the river between Portland and Astoria is the head and antlers of a young deer, also the hide, which was found floating and was taken for a snag. The Ocklahama was-- bound through the harbor to assist in moving a steam er, and what was thought to be a snag. which the officers determined to re move, proved to be a sack with the deer horns protruding. The hide was found in excellent condition, and is thought to have been in the water but a short time. Needless to add, the head will grace" the cabin of the towboat. Notice Given to Mariners.

HOW ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE INCREASES ITS MEMBERSHIP THIRD LESSON IN PRACTICAL POLITICS Gather closer, children, because want you to listen closely to how ive Outside Agitators of the Anti Saloon League have lined up "Our Fight? in Oregon. You must keep repeating it in your mind until you fully under stand it that our one Stock in Trade is .Hysteria. That's what saught on with the Pittsburg Mill- onaires. By making the People Think that we were Trying to Save Men we could jam them full of every kind of tommyrot Emo tional Stuff. The Politicians them selves know that the Qreat Ma jority of Men and Women of this nation are Good; that they have real Heart Cords that respond to Noble Sentiments; that no subject excites a Kindlier Sentiment in the Hearts of Men and Women than the pictures of other Men and Women who have Fallen, nor a more instantaneous response than an Appeal for their. Uplift. So the Politicians told us to bear down more heavily on Hysteria to make People Think we were working for Humanity, and not for Votes. "Bring the tears," was what our Political Instructor kept empha sizing, "the People won t Realize that it's only Paid-For Acting." So 'when we came to Oregon our very first work was to Line Up a lot of organizations that are Really Working for Human Up lift Charitable and Temperance Organizations, and the like. V e played on their Sympathies, asked them if "We were not their Broth er's Keepers?" and didn't forget a few tears. You see if we could Fool Them through the Tenderness REGISTER BEFORE 5 P.

Coadltlon of of their Hearts we had a good show to Slip Over a lot of Votes, and that, children, is what you must not forget that we Anti-Saloon Leaguers are after. The Best Stroke we have done yet in Oregon is to take in our latest Charter Member, the Con victs at the. State Prison. You see, children, everyone feels sorry for Convicts. We figured it out that there were more Tears, more Real Hysteria, hanging around the Con victs than anything we could light on. So we decided to hook up with the Convicts by admitting them to membership in "Our Fight." You see, children, the Convict is largely the product of Bad Eu genics and Hygienics, Vicious Par entage, Impoverished Birth, Baby hood and Childhood, Ignorance, Lack of Employment and a Lot of Other Things which never Worry the Anti-Saloon Leaguer. But if we could only get the Convicts to 6ay that they were behind the bars because of alcohol then we could inject more Hysteria into our Work in this way than in any Other Way. So we got a few Real Christian People worked up over the subpect and then went down to Salem to Fix It with the State Authorities to Make the Convicts lay all their troubles onto Alcohol. Children, it was like taking candy, from babies. The poor Con victs were told that if they .Per formed Right and put some Tears into it, they would Stand In with the Prison Officials and maybe would get their Freedom. You may not know, children, what the word Freedom Sounds like to a Convict. If he would sandbag a lone way VOTE 333' X NO X (Paid Advertisement, Taxpayers' and Waste the bar at 8 P.

Quick Decision Expected. SALEM, Or., Sept. 24. (Special.) That the Legislature Is empowered to create courts, other than the Supreme Court of the state, with various func tions, under an amendment of 1910 was the contention, of lawyers before the Supreme Court today at the hearing to determine whether the provision of the Law passed at the last session, of the Legislature creatlag a. Circuit Judge ship In Multnomah County Is constitu tional. It was further argued that the prac tice in that county as the result of the transfer of the probate business from the County Court to the Circuit Court County Judgo.Cleeton having- been ele vated to the Circuit bench had not been changed and that only the Juris diction had been changed. The court recently held that the provision of the law transferring- the probate business to the Circuit" Court was unconstitu tional, but did not pass upon tbe con stitutionality of those provisions creating- a Circuit Judgeship and County Commission ershlp. Charles Fulton, John McCourt and Martin L. Pipes upheld the provision of the law creating the Circuit Judge shlpi A. T. Lewis and George Shep herd argued that the provision Is un constitutional. The argument was heard by the en- farer, for a little silver or rob some widows and orphans of their last cent- to buy automobiles for Show, he would sign a Quitclaim Deed to his Soul to get that Freedom. He would even go further, Maybe, than we Field Agitators. When the Convicts were told that all they had to do was to lay their imprisonment onto alcohol they couldn't get their names down fast enough. They Performed so splendidly that we recognized them as True Brothers of our Kind, fit to rank with the Pittsburg Million aire and us Field Agitators as Charter Members of the Anti-Saloon League, and they were unan imously Admitted on the Spot. By thinking the Thing all over between now and our next lesson you will see, children, that it isn't True Temperance we are. after, nor even Prohibition, but it's the votes we want. We never can get the votes by talking Temperance, so we have to resort to Deceit, Exaggera tion and Falsehood. That's what the Pittsburg Politicians told us. "Never mind what you tell the People," they said, "so long as you can put a lump in the People's Throat. Don't appeal to their Rea son, because you may get the Peo ple to Thinking about Practical Politics. If you can put a Big Enough Lnmp in the Throat, it may not dissolve until after election day and that's all we want. They'll have lots of time to dis solve the lump when their taxes be gin coming in, when people begin moving out of the state, when thousands of men and women, in cluding themselves, maybe, have lost their jobs, when values begin decreasing, when incomes begin re - Earners' League of Oregon, Portland, I tiro court, and It is believed that & decision will be rendered soon that the THE SHORTE ROUTE BETWEEN PORTLAND AND SPOKANE is via the NEW AYER SHORT LINE of OREGON-WASHINGTON RAILROAD & NAVIGATION CO.

That is the condition the Mill ionaires always want in a state. Then they can buy up everything that Looks Good to them at their Own Price. When they control the Public Offices they can Shift their Taxes onto the Other Fellow; they get so many people out of em ployment that Anyone, is willing to work for Almost Anything. That gives them a "Tighter Grip on the People. That was why the Pittsburg Millionaires gave a "Put it Through" dinner at their own expense to some Portland Business Men at the Portland Hotel a few weeks ago; that is also why the Anti-Saloon League officers are telling all over the state that the Pittsburg Millionaires are going to bring a lot of factories to Oregon. They've told them that in Kansas for Thirty Years, but Kansas is still waiting for her factories from Pittsburg. You see they are al - ways trying to fool the Business ' . Men. The Portland Chamber of Com merce gave us quite a jolt, though, , when Hhey voted Four to One against Prohibition. Those Busi-' ness Men generally see the Joker in Politics. That's why we try hardest to Fool the Women. They don't always all stop to Think that maybe their own Husband, Brother, Father, Son or Daughter may be the one that Loses a Job; nor where the Bigger Taxes are coming from, nor who is going to make up the $900,000 lost license revenues after all this Stagnation comes. So we tell our biggest lies to the Women. Or. court tangle In Multnomah County mar I be etralg-htened out. ST
