"" SIX CARGOES IN SIX BAYS OCTOBER GRAIX FLTSET IS 3IAKIXG" A GOOD SHOWING. Steamship Tbyra Comins Willi a Cargo of Sulplmr Will Load Outward "With. Flour. Six cargoes in six days is the showing made by Portland grain exporters for the week ending yesterday. The French bark Nantes finished loading Monday, and has elnce "been followed by five other vessels, the Mabel Rickmers finishing yesterday morning and clearing in the afternoon. The Eamoena also finished yesterday morning, hut will not clear until Monday. The combined cargoes of the week's fleet amount to over 500,003 bushels of wheat ana 116,000 bushels of barley. It Is hard ly probable that) there -wrill he so many vessels clearing next week, but as some of them are larger than those clearing during the past week, the wheat exports for the first half of the month will be about 1,000,000 bushels. The vessels com pleting cargoes last week, and the amounS carried by them, aTe as follows: Vessel Buph-eA Xantes 1!.J2 Dunbritton 'S48? Samocna -?rH Mabel Rickmers -aIS4S SU Denatien 80.12S Falls of Halladale 18. '66 Total 529,280 The Falls of Halladale also carried 116, 70S bushols of barley. This .fleet was pretty vrll distributed among the different ex porters. The Nantes was dispattehed by the Portland Flouring Mills Company; theDunbritton, by Balfour, Guthrie & Co.; Samoena, by Kerr, GIfford & Co.; Mabel Rickmers, by Girvin &. Eyre; St. Donatien, by the Portland Grain Company, and the Falls of Halladale by G. W. McNear. The steamship Kvarven also cleared dur ing the week with a part cargo of flour. The barley cargo of the Falls of Halladale is the third consignment of that cereal to go forward from Portland since thb opening of the season. This list of grain tonnage in the river was strengthened, slightly yesterday by the arrival of the German bark "VVerra from Honolulu. The Werra made a very good trip up from the islands, covering the distance in 21 days. SHIPBUILDING IX JAPAX. Great Progress Beinpr Made in Ves sel Construction at Xapasukl. The British consular report for 1900 on Nagasaki contains Interesting evidence of the industrial progress which is being made by enterprising Japanese. Ship building is the only creative business which is carried on at the port, but in that great advances are being made. No expense, say? Mr. Foster, ine Acting Con sul, Is spared by the enlightened propri etors of the MitBU-Bishl Dockyard & En gine Works to bring their establishment up to the highest standard of efficiency, and the work turned out "compares fa vorably even with that of the Clyde." During the last year new shops black smiths', joiners' and machine have been erected, 4he last-mentioned tilled with eight steam hammers ranging from seven tons to half a hundredweight. "With a view of educating young Miands for the machine shop, a technical training school lias been built with accommodation for 250 boys. A -reef in front of the yard has been reclaimed, and with the addi tional space. obtained by blasting th hill at the back the premises will permit of the building at the same time of two ves sels of COO feet In length and two of 300 Jeet, During 1900 four ocean-going steamship? of a tonnage ranging from 243 to G43 were completed, and the list of vessels ander construction at the end of the year included two larger passenger ships of S300 tons for the American line of the Japan Mail Company, two steamships of 1741 tons as ore-carriers for the govern ment iron foundry near Moji, a passenger steamship of 2389 tons for the Yang tse service of the Osaka Shoshen Kaisha, s.nd several smaller craft. ' COMIXG WITH SULPHUR. Steamship Tliyra. 2Vott En Route From Hakodate to Load Flour. The Norwegian steamship Tliyra. wnich "has made half a dozen trips to this port in different lines of trade, sailed from Hakodate for Portland about 10 days ago with a part caTgo of sulphur. On ar rival she will re-enter the service of the California & Oriental Steamship Company and wlil take out a big consignment of flour for Hong Kong and wav ports. The exact amount that will be shipped from Portland is -unknown as yet, as the steam er already has some freight engagements at San Francisco, but one firm here will make a shipment of at least 15,000 barrels. The mammoth liners of the Portland & Asiatic Company, Instead of being too big for the trade, are already too small for the business offering, and last month over BO.ooo barrels of Hour was shipped from Portland to Puget Sound cities, because transportation facilities were not obtain able here. This shipment swelled the Pu get Sound exports to a figure in excess of those from Portland, while if the flour had been exported direct from Portland the Oregon port would have had larger Oriental shipments to its credit than were credited to the Pugetf Sound ports. The Thyra is an Immense carrier, and for a long time held i!he record for big flour cargoes out of Portland, with a ship ?' OT" 50'000 barrels. The sulpbur which she is bringing from Hakodate is nearly all for the paper mills at Oregon The Kaiser's JTcvr Yacht. NEW YORK, Oct 5.-The work of lay ing the keel plates of the schooner yacht being built for Jhmperqr William, of Ger many, is going on at the yards of the Townsend & Downey Shipbuilding & Re pair Company, at Shooter's Island The teel frames for the yacht, which are be ing made at the Pasaic Iron Works and the plates, which are being made by the Tidewater Steel Company, of Chester Pa. will be shipped to the yards at Shooter's Island within a few days, it is expected and work on the yacht will be pushed for ward as rapidly as possible. Many Ships Cleared at San Francisco SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 5.-Todav's de partures and clearances were more nu merous than for any single day dnce the beginning of the strike, three, months ago. The exodus consisted principally of coasters, which now have no difficulty in securing crews, though some of the ves sels sailing carried nonunion men. Three grain-laden vessels got awaj' Friday night and this morning; two more wiil sail today. Half a dozen are nearly loaded, and a score or more are awaiting their turns to load. Montana Soldier's Funeral. The funeral of the late Victor L Het ter, formerly of the First Montana Vol unteers, will be held this afternoon from tch undertaking parlors of Finley, Kim ball & Co., and General Summers re quests that the Spanish War veterans in the city attend the service, which will take place at 4 o'clock. Captain Joslah Kemp will be in charge, and interment will be in Lone Fir cemetery. Marine Tiotcs. Messrs. Edwards and Fuller inspected at Astoria Thursday the steamers El more, Eclipse and Delia. The O. R. &. N. Co.'s San Francisco steamers have got back to the old sched ule again, and are now.running with the usual regularity The Elder sailed from Astona yesterday morning, and the Co lumbia from San Francisco at noon. The steamship Alberta sailed from Mu- roran for this port last week and Is re ported under charter to load wheat for St. Vincent for orders. There are. not enough -sailers in sight to brin? the October fleet up to Its usual proportions, and a number of steamers will probably be pressed Into service. Astoria Marine Notes.

MAY MEAN A COAL MINE O. R. &. SAID TO BE NEGOTIATING IN LEWIS COUNTY. Tests Have Been Made and Proved New Coal to Be Satisfactory Will Require New Road. CENTRALIA, Wash., Oct. 5. It Is un derstoo'd here that negotiations are in progress between the O. R. & N. Co. and the Wilsons, of the Hanaford Valley Coal mines, looking to the supply of a certain amount of coal per day for a period of years. The railroad would probably want 50 to 200 tons per day for perhaps 10 years. The successful termination of these nego tiations would be. a matter of both econ omy and convenience to the railroad, as the greater portion of Its coal now'comes from Wyoming. A thorough test was recently made of the Wilson coal by the railroad company, and although no formal report has yet been given out. It is understood that the result was entirely satisfactory. For steaming purposes the coal was a success and left only a small ash. The only crit icism to be found was that the weight of the coal was lighter than of that the road is accustomed to using. Considerable work has been, done by thtJ Wilsons toward de veloping the mines. They have now sev eral seams ready to be operated. In thickness the seams run from 4 to 20 feet, all apparently of good quality. Of course the true quality of the coal Is not yet known, .as the coal so far dug has been near the surface. Those in. a position to know say that 200 to COO tons of coal can be mined In these mines per day, suffi cient to fill almost any ordinary coal con tract. Should an agreement be reached be tween the O. R. & N. Co. and the Wil sons, it would mean the opening up and operating of the mines, and the building of a road. As to the route for bringing" out the coal, either a new road will be built from this city to the coal fields or the present Nickle Plate or Ellsbury Road will be extended In that direction. Both routes are desirable, as the country through which they pass is level and free from runs and ravines, so that very little bridging or grading would be necessary. In this locality, and in fact. In all the immediate country about the mines, lies, what is said to be one of the finest tracts of timber in the county. It is said that there is sufficient timber in this vicinity to keep the Centralia mills running for years to come. The prospective road would be an easy and convenient outlet for the coal and timber, not only from the vicinity of the Wilson coal fields, but from the entire Eastern part of the county. This road would doubtless be extended- into the eastern part of the county. In this direc tion, according to all reports, there is an almost unexhaustible supply of both tim ber and coal. An easy outlet would also be vmade for the produce of the farmers, living in tie eastern part of the county. SOUTHERN. PACIFIC CONFERENCE. Harrinian Calls a Meeting in Salt Lake City October 1.5. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 5. A telegram has been received from Piesldent Harn man, of the Southern Pacific Company, in forming the general officers of the com pany that he wished all of the'm to be present at a conference that Is to be held at Salt Lake, October 15.

There w.ere 90 homestead en tries, covering 1363.99 acres, mostly in Franklin County. Three settlers made final proof on their homestead. One set tler made final proof on his timber cul ture entry. Sixteen Klickitat Indians made application for lands to be segre gated to them. They claimed 2240.40 acres. One desert land entry of 260.75 acres was made. . State J-ate Mill Closed Down. WALLA WALLA, Oct 5. The jute mill at the State Penitentiary has been closed down for the annual overhauling. During the past year the mill turned out 1,260,000 sacks. The price at the mill has been $5. 90 a hundred. The product of the mill sup plied about a third of the demand for sacks In the Walla Walla country. Those who were not fortunate enough to secure prison sacks last Spring had to pay from 8 to S?4c each for wheat sacks. Flower-Raisins in Idaho. WASHINGTON, Oct. 5. According to a bulletin of the Census Office there were, on June 1, 1900, five establishments In Idaho devoted to the raising and mar keting of flowers- and ornamental plants.

Orejcon Notes. The Newbcrg school opened Monday with an attendance of 205 pupils. E. C. Smith this week shipped 40,000 pounds of flaxseed from Eugene and 45,000 from Irving to Portland. A farmers' institute will be held at Elk ton In the near future under the auspices of. the State Experiment Station and the Agricultural College. Professor Withy combe and several of the station staff will be present. Charles Weaver and M. C. Van Tyne, both residents of Fairmount, were fined $10 and costs at Eugene Thursday, the former on the charge of assault and bat tery, and the latter on the charge of car rying a concealed weapon. The Orphans' Home building at Albany was sold to the college by the Ladies' Aid Society, and the building will be moved to the college campus. The basement will be fitted up for a dining hall and the two upper stories will be used for a dormi tory. The building will be renovated and remodeled. An effort is being made to change the survey of the Loon Lake wagon road so at, to cross at John Rhodes' and come down on the other side of the Unnqua, says an J Elkton correspondent People concerned have agreed to give the right-of-way. This road will be one of the most im portant roads in the county, since it opens up a large territory and shortens the route to the Coos Bay country by 26 miles J. B. Harris, of Myrtle Creek, has just finished prune drying. He had a fine crop but lost about 500 bushels on account ,p the rain. His fruit was large and he had over 18,000 pounds of 50s. Six cars of new evaporated prunes were shipped East from Myrtle Creek in . September. Mr. Ward has purchased 46 carloads of pruned in Myrtle Creek precinct this year. Al though interfered with by rain, causing some loss, the picking is largely finished in that vicinity. At aprelimlnary hearing at Wasco lasi. week, Orville Smith, Walter Smith and Joe Matney vere brought up before Justice Marsh on a charge of assault with a dan gerous weapon, committed upon a China man. They were bound over in the sum of $500 each. The two Smith boys gave bonds and are out on ball. Matney Is still in custody. William Smith, another man implicated in the assault has taken hi9 departure for parts unknown. A reward of $100 has been offered for his arrest. The Yamhill County coal mine, beyond Gaston, continues to become more prom ising as the tunnel la driven deeper, says a Forest Grove paper. Workmen are now driving side tunnels to get an idea of the extent of the bed. The coal is of good quality, and preparations are being made to place It on the market. At pres ent It will have to be hauled several miles to the railway, but the Southern Pacific people say as soon as it is shown that the mine is a profitable one they will run a branch line in there. They will need to build only one and a half miles of new track. Sheriff Withers, of Lane County, has brought back Sydney Fleener, of Spring field, from BIckletown, Wash. Flee ner was arrested on three .different charges, as follows: For stealing two horses Irom Henry Bidwell on thp 6th day of September; for stealing three cows from G. B. Kintzley on the 12th day of June, and for stealing two cows from R. L. Young on the 12th day of Septera. ber. He was taken before Justice of the Peace C. A. Wintermeier at Eugene. He waived examination and was bound over in the sum of $500 to await the action of the Circuit Court. It Is said that Fleener also stole a bicycle at Eugene laBt Spring, but as the other offenses are felonies and that one only a misdemeanor, the Judge concluded not to try him on that charge. Washington Notes. . The State Agricultural College is en deavoring to have a postoffice established at the college. """Citizens of Waltsburg have given $5000 to the academy, and Miss Ina Robertson, of Chicago, has given $10,000. A series of farmers' institutes will be held in the -western and northwestern parts of the state, beginning October 20. For two weeks little grain has moved from Dayton. The small quantities of barley that, have changed hands recently have not gone beyond local markets. The report ot the Walla Walla schools for September makes a good showing. The total enrollment was 1405, with an average daily attendance of 1215. Eighty one cases of tardiness were recorded. Thirty-one teachers are employed in the city schools. The Tacoma Park Commissioners have decided to call the new park McKinley Park, In honor of the late President. The new pleasure garden was given to the city by the Tacoma Land & Improvement Company, and occupies about 10 acres of land in East Tacoma. Work has begun on the new $10,000 church by the congregation of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, at Walla Walla. The excavation for the basement has begun. It will replace an old building, the first to be erected in Walla Walla, which, with repairs and remodeling, has served the congregation for over 40 years. A Walla Walla correspondent reports that a chicken with two well-developed hearts has been discovered at that city, but the curiosity was dead when the discovery was made. While dressing a chicken for dinner, the cook at Julius Levy's home found two hearts in a chicken which had just been killed, both hearts well developed. One of the organs was slightly larger than the other, but otherwise there was no difference. A cut-off is under construction from the big -Pietrzycki ranch, in the Tukanon country. A steady down grade for six miles for hauling grain will be secured. The Tukanon will be bridged. The object is to get an easy wagon road for grain. All the product of the 6000 or 8000-acre Pietrzycki ranch has hitherto gone to Dayton, 12 miles away, and the change means a considerable volume of trade that will be changed from the latter town to Starbuck. Dr. Pietrzycki also intends constructing several warehouses for his grain. Awards made by the State Board of Audit and Control for the state institu tions for the next six months are as fol lows: One hundred and fifty-six thousand pounds of potatoes for the state peni tentiary, at $22 50 per ton, Bartlett Bros., North Yakima; meat for the Western Washington Hospital for the Insane, $6 D8 per 100 pounds, 1000 pounds of beef and 400 pounds of mutton weekly, Connolly & Chambers, Olympia: 1200 pounds of beef and mutton for the Soldiers Home, at $8 per 100 pounds, Frye-Bruhn Company, of Tacoma; Eastern creamery butter for Western Washington Hospital for the In sane, at 25c per pound, Miller Bros., Ta coma; butter for Soldiers' Home, 30c a pound, Miller Bros., of Tacoma; butter for Reform School at 27c per pound, Mrs. Summerville, Centralia; 3C0O pounds of Washington creamery butter for School for Defective Youth, at 8c per pound, John B. Agen, Tacoma. Beet-Sugar Production for 1001. WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.

EN Assuming that the functions of the prostate gland are understood, it 3houId be apparent that when damaged by either cont'racted disorder or dissipation that disordered function must Tesult. The first symptoms point ing to this prostatic disorder are referable to the reproductive system. It is llrst noticed that patients suffering from this disease are embarrassed by prematureness. This is invariably followed sooner or later with all of thoso symptoms knowns as "Weakness." The most common form of dam age to the gland is congestion of more or less severity, which Anally becomes localized as Prostatic Catarrh, and if this catarrh once becomes chronic, then various nervous symptoms arise, which are known to physicians as Neurasthenia, or exhausted nerve force. The greater number of patients suf fering from this so-called weakness are healthy and robust men In every 'other respecU-men who possibly have been treated by tonics, electricity, etc., for a weakness which. If the above has been made clear, will be un derstood never to have existed. For the past? few years we have been call ing the attention of the medical profession and others to the fact that the above well-defined symptoms -were not weaknesses, but lesuits of inflamma tion, and that drugs could not cure, but procedures directed toward repalr- ing the damage always prove successful. It is no longer a theory, but a fact, and the adoption of the Talcott Prostatic IMlator as a necessity in the treatment of these troubles is proof of our assertions. Colored chart of the organs sent free on application. It explains why, if a man has been treated for a weakness, he has no been cured. VARICOCELE SHOULD BE CURED. Varicocele is an enlargement of the most vital blood vessels in man. In their normal condition their function is to carry off waste material, thus en abling the organs to Teceive fresh nutrition. Owing to fhe breaking down of the valves, caused by the paralysis of the muscular coat of the veins, they become dilated and local stagnation of the blood follows. The vital nerves, being deprived of .their proper quality and quantity of nourishment, aUrophy is the result. Statistics prove that 25 per cent of the male popula tion are afflicted with varicocele in some- stage of tho disease. We guarantee to cure varicocele in one week at our office, or four weeks of home treat ment, without the use of knife, caustic or ligature. We have cured over 2000 cases without a single failure or unpleasant result. We Invite corre spondence, and the fullest investigation of our methods, and can refer to cured patients If desired. 901 AMer Ctr ThirH CHAMBERS BUILDING. OUf ttiuei JL, jVV.
