With a channel cleared and kept open through the Columbia, the diffi culty of steel vessels in navigating the river was believed last night to be at an end for the t'me being at least, though it will' bo several days before the pilots will be willing to accept the responsibility of moving a wooden vessel through the floes.

She is expected to resume her duties today. 8 DELAYED SHIPS ARRIVE WLTER STORMS ON ATLANTIC REPORTED SEVERE. Halls of Vessels Are Covered With Ice, Rigging Coated With Sleet and Funnels Salt-Caked. NEW YORK, Dec. 18. Substantial evidence of the fierce winter storms which have prevailed for the last ten days along the steamer lanes be tween this country and Europe was shown by eight big passenger liners which arrived today with more than 17,000 belated passengers. Hulls en crusted with ice, rigging covered with sleet and salt from spray caked on funnels, prefaced the stories told by ship officers of high winds and gigan tic waves that swept their vessels from stem to stern. The ships arriving were the Rotter dam from Holland, via Plymouth; the Baltic Royal George, Carmania and Caronla from British ports, via Hali fax; the Lafayette from Havre; Ber gensfjord from Norway and Europia from Genoa, All were from three to five days overdue. The Rotterdam was three days late and her master. Captain J. Baron, declared that the trip was the rough est he had ever made. His declara tion was supported by Rear-Admiral Andrew T. Long of the United States navy, who returned after escorting the king and queen of the Belgians back to their country. Admiral Long said that one week ago the weather was so rough that the big liner was rocked like a cradle. The Carmania had to put in at Halifax to repair damages caused by a collision at sea with another shi in the fog. The Caronla, for Southampton, was close to the Carmania when the ac cident occurred and responded to her wireless calls by putting about and going to her assistance. The tendered help was not needed but she accom panied her Into Halifax. On board the Caronla were more than 3000 Chinese who served in France as laborers during the war. They were landed at Halifax and will re-em bark for their own country at Van couver, B. C. FRESHET IS HELD UNLIKELY Weather Man Says Snow Along Willamette Melts Slowly. Present indications are all against a serious freshet as result of the melting of the snow now on the ground throughout the Willamette valley, said Edward L. Wells, district forecaster, yesterday. The snow Is melting and running into the river slowly, he said, in spite of the rains of the past two days, and the tempera ture continues low enough to give assurance that a sudden rise in the river Is not forthcoming. The official thermometer of the weather bureau climbed to 43 degrees yesterday afternoon, but dropped again to 40 degrees when the heavy rain began and lingered around that point. The river gauge at Portland at 8 o'clock yesterday morning showed a depth of 2.8 feet above zero, an in crease of .7 of a foot in the preceding 24 hours. A rise of .6 was recorded at Albany, .6 at Eugene and .2 at Oregon City. Movements of Vessels. PORTLAND, Dec. 18. Failed at noon, steamer Rose City for San Francisco; at 7 A.

X. DuVall, a well-known mechanic who Uvea at 7625 Foster road, Portland, Oregon. "I have been in the worst sort of health for the past three years." con tinued Mr. DuVall, "troubled with bad cases of indigestion and rheuma tism and with disordered kidneys and nervousness. - My digestion was so bad that sometimes even a poached egg would upset me and It seemed that I could eat nothing that would agree with me. I . would bloat up with gas and after every meal I would . bo troubled with belching spells. I had rheumatism in my feet and limbs and my kidneys were so badly disordered they worried me all during the night so bad I could never get any rest or sleep and I would have severe pains across the small of my back. I was so weak and run down I would take cold .easily and every time I did it settled in my bron chial tubes and caused me no end of misery. I was so nervous that when the folks around home even talked a little loud I could not stand It. "When I read about Tanlac in the paper I said to my wife: Til bet Tan lac will help me!' So I started taking it and yes, sir, it did help me and to day I haven't any symptoms of my troubles at all and could hardly ask to be in better health. I have a fine appetite and everything I eat agrees with me perfectly without any bad effects. The rheumatic pains have all disappeared and I have as good use of my feet and limbs as I ever did. My kidneys are In splendid condition and the pains across the small of my back are a thing of the past. My nerves are as steady as a clock and I can sleep like a log all night long. I have been built up in every way, feel stronger than I have in years and as I said, I have gained 26 pounds. I certainly have reason to recommend Tanlac and it is a pleasure to me to do so."
