They .Fringe the Metropolis of Ore
gon With Thriving Settlements
Rapidly Forging Ahead to
Municipal Rank.
Those who imagine that Portland Is not
growing should take a ride on any of the
suburban car lines and have his mind dis
abused of. that impression by going in
almost any direction. Toward Lents, on
the Mount Scott Railway, he will pass
through a new section that contains not
less than 1500 new bouses, all put up
within the past two years, but mostly
witbln one year. After crossing the Pow
ell Valley road the first new houses are
een, mostly small cottages. but with
fiome pretentious dwellings, costing more
than $2000. It will be seen that this is a
Homebuilding section. The whole, country
is now platted in lots through to Lents
and southward tor about two miles, and
along the Powell Valley road for at least
li miles. Hoads, or streets, have beeu
opened all through this section, and the
paths are mostly graveled. At Arleta, a
tower SO feet high has been put up. on
which will stand a: 100,000-galIon tank next
Spring. This settlement, comprising manv
additions, probably embraces about 1000
acres. The cheapness of the lots, has been
the feature, with the possibility of own
ing a home. A few years ago the Mount
Scott Railway did not pay and was oper
ated at a loss. The line was shut down
and actually went begging for somebody
to run it. and so anxious were the build
ers to have it operated that they gave It
1 away to the Oregon Water Power & Rail
way Company, which at first declined
with thanks to accept it as a gift, but
finally took It because the cpmpany want
ed the gravel from the pit out on the
road.
Will Be Double Track,
It Is now a paying line, and will he
double-tracked as soon as the company
ca"h make it, to meet the great traffic
that has been developed along the linv
This district has several private water
companies, but George W. Brown and his
associates will put In a big plant costing
$15,000 this Summer to supplement the sup
ply already had. the big tower erected
last Summer being part of this plant. If
Portland ever extends Its Hne3 so as to
take in the district In the southeast, it
will run its boundaries eastward from
Sllwood to Mount Scott and then nortu
ward to the Barr road, thence west to
Portland, taking a small empire and ter
ritory that now contains 12.000 people and
2200 school children. It will likely bo sev
eral years before Portland will want to
pcoop In this big territory, but It may
romo some time in the next ten years.
At Arleta the school that two years ago
was not dreamed of has 250 pupils, and
Principal William Miller says that there
pre constant accessions. At Ients. where
a four-room building was built two years
ago. the directors have been compelled
to rent an outside room to accommodate
the overflow. Another four-room annex
will have to be built this Summer.
At Montavllla the enrollment has
reached 400. and Jn Mount Tabor Dis
trict, No 5 Professor Adams reports an
attendance of 550. A new two-room build
ing has Just been completed In Center
Addition, which contains 65 pupils. Here
the suburbs have extended northward un
til they have reached Gravel Hill, Iwo
miles from Mount Tabor. Montavllla has
extended from the Sactlon Line road
northward to the O. R. & N. line, a dis
tance of 2V miles. The people are now
nsklnjr the O. R. & N. Co. to give them a
passenger and freight depot on the spur
built there two years ago, and present
figures to show that it will pay the com
pany to do so.
At Montavllla 45 new houses are under
construction. The space between Monta
vllla and Center Addition is being cleared
of small trees and covered with cottages.
Between the electric railway and Mount
Ta"bor Contractor W. J. Burden has put
up 12 new cottages, and about as many
have been erected by others in this local
ity. A good class of houses is being con
structed in this suburb. Montavllla is
growing as fast as any suburb outside
of the boundary lines of the city.
Extend Many Miles.
To pt clear of the suburbs of Portland
east one must now travel seven miles
from the Willamette River. If he goes
southeast he must travel at least eight
miles to got well into the country, and
beyond the fringe of settlements. In
there suburbs, at Arleta and Montavllla,
there Is some talk of forming corporations
for the purpose of getting local govern
ment, which will have the power to en
force order, get a water supply and fire
protection, then to wait until Portland
extends Its protecting arms around them,
but the conservative element has blocked
the movement in that direction. How
long It can be withheld is not known,
for the want of some local authority to
enforce order Is felt very severely, but
the opposition says It will cost too much
to maintain local governments and thus
Increase taxation. In the suburbs in the
direction of Lents and at Montavllla the
residents are busy with home decorations.
Little gardens may be seen about the
most humble two-room cottage, whore
some effort Is being made to cultivate
some flower. At a small cottago In a
suburb partly completed, occupied by a
man and wife and two children living in
the two rooms, the owner explained how
be came to go that far out. "My wages
do not average more than 52 a day In
town," he said, "and it cost me one-third
to pay rent, and so I came out here,
where I can own a home of my own.
The rent man never comes here. We will
finish up this house next year and have
a little garden out there on one side ot the
cottage."
This was practically the reason given
by others In the same condition. These
homebullders are enduring no small depri
vations that they may own a home, have
a garden of flowers and vegetables, and
perhaps own some chickens.
St. Johns Not a Suburb.
St. Johns residents refuse to be called a
5tiburb. of Portland, and proclaim their
nMlity to go It alone. "If Portland wants
to be annexed to St. Johns, well and
good." they say. "but If it does not want
to get on the band wagon of progress It
can .ay out."
Just now St. Johns citizens are laying
the foundations of a great city, and they
are beginning to feel the pressure of some
of the coming responsibilities.

DEATH TAKES SURVIVOR OF
WHITMAN MASSACRE.
Mr. Susan M. Wirt.
One by ono the pioneers of thore stir
ring days of Oregon's early history are
passing to the unknown future, and as
each death Is recorded, memories are
revived of the part they took in exolUng
events.
There are few of the 6urvivors of the
famous Whitman massacre of 1SU alive.
The last to be taken by the hand of
death was Mrs. Susan 11. Wirt, of
Portland, whoso demise was on Feb
ruary 0.
At the time of the massacre. Mrs.
Wirt, a girl of 16, was accompanying
hr parents. Mr. and Mrs. Nathan S.
Kimball, across the plains from Indiana
lb the territory of Lewis and Clark. The
family were natives of the State of Ver
mont, where the subject of this sketch
was born In 1830. Three yeans later
they journeyed, to Indiana, where they
remained until the Spring of 1S47. After
untold hardships, the family reached
Whitman Mission, near Walla Walla,
late In the Fall, where they decided to
Temain for the Winter.
The day before the massacre Mr. Kim
ball tried to convince Dr. Whitman that
the Indians were planning: a raid, but
the doctor would not believe anything
was wrong-. The following afternoon the
Indians began the awful battle, which
resulted In the death of 13 men and one
woman, Mrs. Wirt's father being ono
of the number. The Indians stole all
that was of value to them, and lft the
fflck and almost helpless women and
children at the mission. For some time
Mrs. Wirt remained with her mother at
the mission, but finally came to Oregon
City. Later, the mother of Mrs. Wirt
married again, and the family settled
upon a farm near Portland, where Mrs.
Wirt resided until she was married, and
came to Portland to live.
and Switzerland and for visiting members
of royal families. Prince Arthur of Con
naught and Crown Prince Frederick of
Denmark arrived today, besides numerous
sovereigns of German states.
The Emperor's invitations to the
churches of ail Protestantism to take
part in the dedication Is in fulfillment of
his design to make tills cathedral hold a
relation to Protestants such as St. Peters
at Rome holds to Roman Catholics. Ref
erence has often been made to the pur
pose of the Emperor Frederick and the
Empress, under whose short reign the
Initial steps were taken to build the ca
thedral, to make it the Westminster Ab
bey of Gormany, and so it is to be.
In the immense crypts already lie the
bones of 87 Hohenzollerns, and In future,
besides the sovereigns, there will also be
placed the bodies of great German dead.
"We are not building a church for the
Province of Brandenburg," said the Em
peror to the architect, Professor J. C
Raschdoerff, "nor for Prussia, but a ca
thedral for the Protestants of the world.
I should like Protestants everywhere to
feel that they have an interest In this
building, a pride In It and feel welcome
here."
Tho Emperor often recurred to this
Idea during conversation with Professor
Raschdoerff and his son, Julius. The ca
thedral will therefore be open day and
night. Some of tho Protestant clergy of
Germany have expressed discontent at
tills order as leaning toward Romo, but
quite opposite appears to be the Empe
ror's vlow. On one occasion he said to
Professor Raschdoerff:
"Most of he cities of the world have a
building monumental of the city. There
is the Statue of Liberty at New York and
St Peters at Rome. Berlin has no such
structure. Let us make such a one ot
this cathedral."
Proressor Raschdoerff visited all the
principal cathedrals of Europe before fin
ishing his design, which corresponds more
nearly to the early Italian renaissance
as shown in Austrian churches.
The organ, which is among the largest
in the world, is the gift of Prince Henckol.
of Donnersmark. It has 113 stops and
7000 speaking pipes, and cost 437,500. Tho
cliancel is of marble and bronze, and is
the gift of Privy Councillor Pastel.

LE1PSIC. Saxony. Feb. 25. King
Frederick of Saxony received Dr. Koer

Neusto Nachrichten says he reproached
him with the severity of the nieasures

Dr. Koerner left the palace much an

probably will be accepted.

BRINGS ONLY HALF A CARGO
Chinese Crew Desert Vessel at Kobe
Whereabouts of Steamer Ta
coma Still a Mystery Re
ported at Dutch Harbor.
The steamship Numantla, of the Port
land & Asiatic line, arrived at "her
dock at 1:30 P. M. yesterday, having
been delayed several hours coming up
by the thick fog on the river. She
brought a very light cargo, not more
tl'an half of her space being filled. Tne
freight consists principally of matting-,
tea, rice and Japanese goods.
The officers report an unusually
rough passage across from Yokohama,
which port she left on February 7.
Heavy swells with gales from the
northeast and southeast were encoun
tered all the way. There was much
snow and hall while skirting the Aleu
tian Islands. In spite of the disagree
able weather, their experiences were
less severe than on tho last voyage out
from Portland, when a hurricane made
operations strenuous Indeed. Huge seas
on that occasion washed the "decks of
the ship and the force of the waves
was so great as to smash in the rail on
the bridge. Five sailors were washed
aft, but fortunately managed to save
themselves before going overboard. One
of the men had several ribs broken and
another suffered a fracture of his leg
above the knee, which required sur
gical attention at a time when even
the officers were unable to stand up
right In the cabin. On neither the out
ward nor inward voyages was any se
rious damage done to the ship.
When the Numantla reached Kobe
bound this way, the Chinese crew that
shipped at Hong Kong deserted In a
body and their places had to be filled
by Japanese. In the words of the of
ficers, the new men are a lot of "crip
ples," all the able-bodied part of the
male working population having been
sent to the war. The steamer Is still in
command of the same officers that were
on her last trip except Purser Brlnk
lemann, who was relieved at Yokohama
and ordered home to Germany.
The ICumantia will begin discharg
ing cargo at Montgomery dock No. 1
this morning. It will only take a few
days to get her unloaded, but more
time will be required in loading her
for the outward trip, as a full cargo is
on tfic wharves awaiting her.
REPORTED AT DUTCH HARBOR
Mystery of Tacoma's Whereabouts
Still Unsolved.
The blockade runner Tacoma, whose
whereabouts is causing anxiety to her
owners and others, and which was er
roneously reported to have arrived -X
Moji, is not said to have been at Dutch
Harbor on January 26. This would
make the time of the steamer from the
Sound to Alaskan ports 20 days, while
ordinarily but ten days are required
for tho tTip. Captain Trowbridge, of
the Northwestern Steamship Company,
owners of the steamer, states that he
is inclined to doubt the correctness of
the message, saying that he did not see
how it could possibly tafce the Tacoma
such a length of time to reach Dutch
Harbor.
Whether or not the message is cor
rect, it is the only word received from
the steamer since she cleared from Se
attle, and the Northwestern Steamship
Company officials are completely at a
loss to account for her whereabouts.
The Tacoma sailed from Seattle on
January 6, ostensibly for Shanghai,
with a cargo of beef in barrels, but her
destination was Vladivostok. It may be
that she is fast In the Ice, and prob
ably the dispatch from Toklo. which
reported that a steamer was fast in the
ice in Yezo Strait, between Kunashlri
Jand Hokkaido may have a bearing on
the whereabouts of tho steamer. It Is
known that when the Tacoma left
there was a Russian on board, who was
familiar with the Siberian coast and
the approaches to the Ice-rimmed har
bor of Vladivostok. No other blockade
runner, leaving this Coast, has carried
a pilot for the Siberian coast.
The presence of the Ice now will,
however, prevent tho steamer from
skirting the Northern Siberian Coast.
She could not come through the Gulf
of Tartary in Winter for this reason,
and there is but one available en
trance to Vladivostok in the Winter,
the straits now guarded by the Japan
ese warships, which is but nine miles
wide.

THE RING OF
BLOOD PURIFIERS
In every collection of things there is a superior, one . that stands
above all the rest and is known as the best, or Jdng of its class. By
its record of forty years of enres S. S. S. has demonstrated its superi
ority overall other blood purifiers and is known and recognized every
where as the best The King of Blood Purifiers. The people everywhere
endorse it, and there are few
used, and today there are thousands in all parts of the country who have been cured
of diseases by its use and who are daily recommending it to those who are in need of
a blood purifier. It has held the confidence of the public for this long period of time,
and is more in favor now than ever before, because it does all that is claimed for it,
and b. o. o. for the blood" has grown to be a household saying.
One of its greatest claims to the title of "The King of Blood Purifiers" is that it is
purely vegetable, being made entirely from roots, herbs and barks of the forests and fields,
selected for their purifying and healing action on the blood and their fine tonic properties
for building up and strengthening the entire system. Not so with the usual blood medicines,
for they contain Potash and other strong mineral ingredients that derange the stomach and
digestion and otherwise damage the health.
Bad blood is responsible for most of the ailments of mankind. When from any cause
the Liver, Kidneys, Bowels or other organs of bodily waste become torpid, dull or sluggish
in their action, and fail to carry out the poisons which are being constantly formed in the
system, these poisons are absorbed by the blood. As this vital fluid is the very life of the
Ixxiy, nourishing and supplying strength, through its circulation, to every muscle, nerve,
bone and tissue, disease in some form is sure to follow when it becomes contaminated.

Gentleman: My opinion of S. S. S.is thsteYery.bottle Is ' 1 ' .t. ' t '
worth its veight fat gold. It has been
our family, given to both young and old. and always with
tha best results. It thoroughly cleanses tha blood of all
impurities, at tho same time it builds up the general
health, gives appetite, strength and energy. "We have
given it to our ohildren as intimated, and found it to be
non-injurious to the system and always capable of purify
ing the blood and restoring health. It is superior to every-
uiuig eiso su a oars ior utoga cusea&es.

amount of salves, washes, skin foods, rouge,
etc., can reach the trouble; a real blood remedy is required. S. S. S. cures these and all other
skin diseases, and .when it has cleansed the blood of the poisons and impurities the cure is
permanent and lasting. Rheumatism, Catarrh, Scrofula, Chronic Sores or Ulcers and Con
tagious Blood Poison are all deep-seated blood diseases. When the blood becomes eontami
nated with the poisons producing these diseases, the entire circulation grows polluted and
vitiated, and these painful and dangerous diseases will continue to grow worse until this vital
fluid is cleansed and made strong and healthy again.
In all these disorders S. S. S. has proved itself a perfect remedy, and has well earned
the title of "The King of Blood Purifiers." It goes down into the blood and forces out all
poison of every kind, all waste and foreign matter, and makes it pure and health-sustaining
as nature intended, curing the disease permanent. Nothing reaches inherited blood taint
or old chronic troubles like S. S. S., and being a strictly vegetable remedy it can be taken
by old or young without fear of bad after-effects or .injury in any way to the system. Not
only is S. S. S. a blood purifier and system builder of the highest order, but a tonic and
appetizer without an equal, and is unexcelled in cases of general debility, loss of appetite,
weakness, that tired, run-down condition, lack of energy and force, and other distressing
complaints common to Spring and Summer months.
If you have any blood trouble write us about it, stating the case fully, and our physi
cians will help you to get rid of it by free medical .advice and will send books on the different
diseases, which contain valuable information, without charge.
