THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, SEPTEMBER 9, 1906. SOLICITS TRADE SCENES -AT THE REVIEW OF THE UNITED STATES NAVY BY PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT LAST MONDAY A $40 SUIT Made to Your Measure for 353 OF Harriman Line Appoints Trav eling Freight and Passen ger Agent for Vessels. 1 10 NORTHWEST if ' : 1 F. A. FREEMAN IS NAMED New Agent Is to Secure Business for fcteamers to San Francisco and Orient Only Large In crease Expected. Awakening to the fact that Portland .nd all Oregon are justified in their unanimous demand for a better steam ship service between Portland and San Francisco. General Manager Schwerln, ot the Harriman steamship lines, of which the San Francisco & Portland Steamship Company Is one, yesterclny notified J. TV. Dewson, the local agent of the sys tem, of the appointment of F. A. Free man as traveling freight and passenger agent In the Pacific Northwest for the lines out of Portland. Furthermore, the agent of the company has been Instructed to prepare for the handling of the largest business in the history of the company's transactions In this city, for the steamers Aztec, Bar racouta, Columbia and Costa Rica will he continued on the run, and In addi tion, the steamers Czarina and Break water are available for use by the San Francisco & Portland Company If the trade demands. The Harriman Interests are also said to have an option on several of the North western Steamship Company's fleet for charter for use. in the coastwise service if occasion requires. The appointment of a traveling agent ;p the first real Intimation that the lo-r-al public has had ot the good faith of Harriman's promise made at the time the steamer Aztec was placed on the run between this port and San Francisco, and according to the agent of the com pany, the new appointee will not only solicit trade for the Portland & San Francisco steamers, but will also secure business for the big Oriental liners In the service of the company between Port land and the ports of China and Japan. Within the next two weeks the com pany will have two passenger vessels in operation, for the Columbia is almost roady to resume her run. and about that time the Costa Rica will receive a per mit to engage in the passenger traffic between the two cities, which has been denied her by reason of the inexperience of her crew. With two passenger boats the company hopes to accommodate all who desire to make the trip by the water route. The placing of the steamer Aztec on Hie run was at first looked upon as merely the securing of an extra vessel tn relieve congested conditions on the local docks, but the selection of a trav eling agent and the fact that the steamer Is to sail Monday evening with one of the largest cargoes ever sent from one American port to another on the Fa cine Coast makes It look as If th9-?ves-el is now permanently In the trade. The Aztec will take, over 6500 tons of freight from Portland when she sails Monday evening, and several hundred more tons are awaiting her at Astoria, which will also be taken If her capacity will admit of placing It aboard F. A. Freeman, the newly appointed traveling agent of the system, has been In the employ of the O. R. & N. Co. for several years, and Is- rated as one of the best men In the Northwest. He will assume the duties of his new po sition Immediately and will canvass the Northwest thoroughly. The Harriman Interests are evidently in earnest in this matter, and the growing trade of this section of the country has at last Im pressed Itself upon them to such an ex tent that theyare determined to go af ter It, Instead of waiting for the trade to come to them as in the past. Since the visit of General Manager Schwerin a few months ago. when he promised that the service of the company would be Improved, the company vhas added another dock to itg accommoda tions for steamships, and has Improved the others, so that now the Alaska, and Alnsworth docks on the West Side and the Albtna flock on the Bast Side are amply able to accommodate the different liners of the company. OX XITW SCHEDULE MONDAY Steamer Spencer Will Co-Operate With Open River Line Next Week. Commencing Monday the steamer Charles R. Spencer will start running on a specially arranged schedule to the portage road, where she will connect with the steamers of the Open River Transportation Company, and co-operate with them in the handling of the wheat crop of the Inland Empire that Is to be sent to the seaboard by the water route. The Spencer will leave Portland at 7 o'clock on the mornings of Monday, Wednesday and Friday of each week and return to this city on the alternate days. The upper river boats of the Open River Company have commenced operation and hy the middle of next week the grain will commence moving at a lively pace, and all the vessels. Including the steam er Relief, which Is to be launched today, will endeavor to handle the crop above the portage, while the Spencer will take care of the shipments on this side of the road. On her trip np river Monday morning the Spencer will take a large cargo of general freight consigned to the towns of Kennewlck, Hover and Arlington, and on the return trip she expects to have the first shipment of the new grain. COASTERS ARE OX THE WAV Roanoke and Kilburn Due to Arrive From Southern Ports. The steamer F. A. Kilburn is due to reach Portland next Tuesday or Wednesday. She !s coming from San Francisco and coastwise ports and has been delayed one day by having- to undergo some slight repairs while at San Francisco, where she was placed on the drydock early in the week. As usual, the vessel Is bringing a full cargo of freight and passengers, most of whlah is .coming from Eureka and Coos Bay. She is scheduled to Bail from Portland next Thursday, but on account of the delay at San Francisco and the storm along the coast, she may not get away until Friday. The steamer Roanoke is also on her way to Portland and should reach As toria tonight or tomorrow. ALMAXCE IS IX THE DRYDOCK This Vessel and the Elder Take Tp Dock's Capacity. The berth on the two forward pon toons of the Port of Portland drydock, which were vacated by the lowering- of the former lighthouse tender Man zanita after her repairs were complet ed, was taken yesterday by the Cali fornia & Oregon Coast Steamship Com pany's liner Alliance, and with this vessel and the Geo. W. Elder on the dock at once the place Is pretty well filled. The Alliance Is ha"vlng a new pro peller blade put in and will' be on the dock for a couple of days, and about the time she is ready to be launched the Elder will also be ready to be floated. This will be about Tuesday, and for the first time since June 1, when the Elder went on the pontoons, the dock will be empty.

Friend Cook has crossed the Great Divide, Beyond our mortal ken; - And when he reaches that fair land, They'll rank him with the men. Whose deeds of love can ne'er be told, Whose hearts) on earth were hearts of gold. A warm handclasp he save to all. He server had a foe. And when he found a friend: la need. He grot there with the "dough." "Old Care" was always scared of him. He laughed at Death, the monster grim. Along the rugged road of life He walked with courtly tread; His mission Just to benefit The living, not the dead. "For out beyond the dark unknown We'll reap," he said,' "what we have sown." And so he passed from earth one day. Into that dreamless sleep That kisses down his eyelids till. Never to wake nor weep. And we who knew htm best while here Pay this our tribute sans a tear. B. A.

H. D. BTALEY WRITES OF PRES. EXT DISADVANTAGES. Wharfage Improvements and Large Lighters, Such as Proposed In Portland Project, Needed. II. D. Staley. a mining man of Nome, Alaska, who is now in Portland, Is much Interested in the Portland Alaska steamship project. He has In terested himself In the proposition and haa written a letter to the steamship committee of the Portland Board of Trade expressing his views on the Nome harbor and the system of hand ling the freight poposltion. Mr. Sta ley's letter is as follows: Having left home within the last 15 days, I have been requested to say what my Im pression was of the harbor facilities at home and the methods employed in handling her commerce. One can only say that they ere ancient and Inadequate to meet her growing commerce. The harbor at Nome is an open roadstead, shoal and unprotected. Vessels anchor in the roadstead two to two and one-half miles oft shore. Cargo is unloaded on small 60-ton lighters, handled with small tugs to within 1000 feei of the beach and from there with shore lines. The loss of time changing light era and the expense of manning them are two Items of expense that are well worth con sidering. The present lighterage system at Nome has absolutely no protection. A notable example or this fact was witnessed July 8 to 14, this season, when the whole syatem was at the mercy of the wind and waves for six days; the result, lighters strewn along the beach, sunk and disabled. During such times vessels seek shelter and safety behind Sledge Island, a few miles distant from Nome. Compara tively light winds render shoal water choppy, so that the small lighters bob around like corks, where larger oaes could be handled In connection with the proposed harbor improve ments with perfect safety. As the season Is short, time is the essence of every commander's anxiety while In Nome harbor. A few hours lost each trip may In volve the loss of an entire trip at the end of the season, which means to a ship the loss of thousands of dollars. I left Nome August 20, on the steamship Ohio. b(nd for St. Michael's, to unload 1400 tons of freight. The lighters at St. Michael's are of 500 tons capacity and covered, so the 1400 tons were unloaded with one change of lighters, as one lighter was on each side of the ship. Compare this with the lighters at Nome, where 28 changes would be necessary. We left St. Michael's August 23, for Nome to pick up passengers for Seattle. Arrived in Nome the same day at noon, with a light wind blowing from the eouthwest. which ren dered the sea choppy. The lighters were all bobbing around a mile off shore at their moorings, unable to bring the passengers aboard. The ship's officers went ashore in dories, which were handled with perfect ease and safety.) several times between the ehlp and the shore during the 30 hours we waited for the sea to calm so the lighters could be handled. Incidentally I will say that the Ohio Is try ing to establish a record of eight trips dur ing the open season. One can readily Imag ine what the Ices of 88 hours, unnecessarily, means to the profit and loss account of trans portation companies. The completion of the Snake River harbor, and the supply of large and safe lighters Is the obvious remedy for all these troubles. PLAN BIG CELEBRATION Emancipation Day Will Be Observed at Exposition Grounds. The colored citizens of Portland are preparing to celebrate September 23, the anniversary of the Emancipation Pro clamation, In true Southern style. To that end they have secured the use of the Lewis & Clark Exposition grounds and have invited several noted speakers to address' them. An organization known as the Eman cipation Celebration Association, of which J. C. Logan is president and McCants Stewart secretary, has been formed to arrange for the festivities. Hon. George H. Williams, ex-Mayor of Portland, and the only living member of President Grant's cabinet, will deliver the principal address. Judge John F. Caples. Senators Fulton and Mulkey, Judpe H. H. Northup and others will be present and Every old sore exists because of a polluted condition of the blood. Thi3 vital fluid is infected with some germ or old taint, or perhaps has been left in an unhealthy condition from a long spell of sickness, or the trouble may be inherited. The poisonous germs and matter with which the blood is sat urated force an outlet on the face, arms, legs or other part of the body and form a sore or ulcer. This being continually fed by a polluted blood supply, grows red and angry, festers and eats into the surrounding flesh until it becomes what is very aptly termed an "old sore." The relief produced by external treatment is only temporary. The only treatment that can do any real good is a blood purifier that goes to the very root of the trouble and re moves the cause, and for this purpose nothing equals S. S. S. It drives out from the circulation all morbid matter and germs, even reaching down to hereditary taints, and by cleansing the blood heal3 old sores permanently. S. S. S. not only removes all taints and poisons from the blood but builds it up by supplying it with the rich, health-sustaining properties it needs to keep the system in health. S. S. S. makes pure blood and a sore must heal If the blood is pure and healthy. Book on Sores and Ulcers and medical advice free.
