w. IAj CHINATOWN will gather in a
j mass meeting at noon today In the
i josshouse at 64'4 Second street, to
decide one of the most momentous ques
tions ever arising in the district in Port
landshall Joss worship be abandoned
here? While there are doubts as to the
outcome,, it is pretty generally believed
the matter will be settled in the affirma
tive. Should the meeting decide to defy joss
and order that the alleged false god be no
longer worshiped, it will be a most re
markable thing. Joss worship is as old as
the Chinese Empire, and if Portland Chi
natown declares against it. this city will
stand alone, it is declared, and will be
the recognized leader of this reform.
Never was there such deep significance
in a meeting in Chinatown, and never has
a scheduled gathering caused so great
commotion. The great subject to be dis
cussed is what might well be termed the
"paramount issue" in Chinese circles. It
is an Issue that leading Chinese say must
be settled for all time.
Joss worship, with all its heathen rites,
has held sway wherever Chinese have
gone, and until recent years Portland's
KELSO, CASTLE ROCK AND'KALAMA
ARE IN A COUNTY SEAT FIGHT
WITH three live little cities in the
field for the county seat, things
promise to liven up a bit over
in Cowlitz County, Wash., very shortly.
Kalanm now holds the coveted seat of
county government, with Kelso and Castle
Rock hot on the trail.
Yesterday forenoon A. TV. Carner, post
master at Castle Rock, arrived in Port
land with a certified check for $20,000 to
show the good faith of his city in the
contest. This check was placed In escrow
at a local bank. The citizens of Kelso
and Catlln recently placed $15,000 in a
Portland bank under similar condtllons.
"We feel we should have the county
seat and are going to make an active
campaign for the place," said Postmaster
Carner, who is secretary of the Castle
Rock county seat committee. ''The mat
ter will be decided at the county polls,
and the town that can carry a three
fifths' vote gets the plum. Castle Rock
ought to be the county seat, and I be
lieve It will bo. Kelso made the claim
that we were not in earnest, that we
were talking much but giving no sub
stantial evidences of our good faith. This
check for fl'O.oOO however, should establish
that we mean business.'
in depositing the draft with the Bank
ers & Lumbermen's Bank, the Castle
Rock representative left the following
statement of comiitions under which the
deposit was made:
Castle. Rock, Wash., Oct. 26. This
draft, drawn by the Castle Rock Bank,

COL. ROESSLER RETURNS
VISITED SEATTLE TO COXFEK
WITH ALASKA PILOTS.

day from Seattle, where he went "with Com
mander J. P. Werllch to confer with the
Alaska pilots relative to the placing of
the lights ami fos signals on Hinchln

"William ound. The conference was held
In the t. S. Knpineers' office at Seattle

with the unanimous approval of the navi
gators. "The positions thnt had been tentatively
"selected bv Commander "Werlich and my
self," sahl Colonel Roessler yesterday,
"were unanimously adopted as being the
most feasible as well as the most advan
tageous to navigation. Our recommenda
tions will be forwarded to the lighthouse
board of approval, after which the work
will be taken up in earnest. The lens
of the lantern will have to bo manufac
turncrl in tlermany, for there are no fac
tories In this) country which turn out this
class of work, and this part of tho equip
ment will have to be ordered months in
advance of the other material on account
of the time necessary to secure delivery.
The other portions of the work will be
purchased or manufactured In America.
The board as well as the pilots favor a
flashing light Instead of a fixed light and
this recommendation has also been ap
proved by Commander Werlich and my
self." When asked about the sum of money
authorized recently by the "War Depart
ment for the purpose of maintaining and
reconstructing the tramway on the Co
lumbia River jetty. Colonel Roessler
slated that until the oftlcial notification
of the authorization of this expenditure
reaches him he could not make any official
statement, except that the local engin
eers' otrice had made a request for the
5um mentioned in order to keep the works
at the mouth of the Columbia in repair
until the jetty work of next season is
taken up.
Commander Werlich, and Captain
Hughes Sebree will leave down on an
inspection tour of the Thirteenth light
house district on Monday morning. The
lighthouse tender Heather is being
fitted with supplies for a laug cruise, for
before she returns to Portland the vessel
will carry Commander Werlich to the
Alaska points where light stations are
maintained. Captain Sebree is secretary
of the United States Lighthouse Board
and will Inspect the stations along the
Oregon and Washington Coast.
DOCK LABORERS IX FIGHT.
Vnion Longshoremen and Nonunion
Grainhaiullers Engage in Battle. .
A riot occurred in a saloon at 129 Rus
sell street at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon
ia which union longshoremen and non
Chinatown, as all others, has observed all
of the traditions and customs attached to
the service. Every year, until this year,
great pomp and splendor have marked the
feast of the dead spirits, but it was a
lamentable failure this time. Only a., few
clung to the faith and fell down at the
shrine 'of joss, while hundreds looked on
in mocking laughter and jeers.
"Away with joss and all the heathen
customs accompanying the worship," la
the cry of the reformers In Chinatown,
and they are among the most powerful
factors in the district. Wealthy mer
chants, whose influence is vast, have de
clared against joss worship, and will tneet
with their less fortunate brothers in a
common cause this' noon to discuss the
momentous question of "joss or no joss."
Those who are reckoned good orators
among the Chinese reform element will be
called upon to address the gathering, and
their chief argument in favor of the aban
doning of Joss worship will be that it is
nothing but superstitious fear and igno
rant adoration that causes .the Chinese to
bow down to the heathen god, and that if
China ever becomes a great nation and
her people abroad become recognized 'as
intelligent, joss must be dethroned and
Western education set up in his stead.
In that event the above-mentioned draft
shall be turned over to the said Board of
County Commissioners for the purpose of
paying part of the expenses in such re
moval of the county seat. In. the event
Castle Rock does not receive the neces
sary three-fifths of the vote for county
seat, which will be shown by the County
Auditor's certificate, then and in that
event, the above-mentioned draft shall be
returned to G. 1. Buland. Treasurer of
county seat committee, to be by him re
turned to the subscribers making up the
amount of this draft.

union grain-handlers participated. 3everal
men were badly hurt in the mlxup, but
before Policemen Goltz and Courtney
reached the scene all of the fighters had
fled.
The riot grew out of the recent strike.
Fitter feelings among union and nonunion
men became so strong that, when a band
of each faction met in the saloon a fight
ensued. The 'battle raged hot and fierce
for several minutes. The bartender tele
phoned to police headquarters for officers,
and Captain Moore dispatched Patrolmen
Golti and Courtney, but all was quiet
when they arrived, as the long run re

Steamboats Now Have All the Busi
ness They Can Handle.
Steamboating' on the Upper Columbia
River was never more lively than it is
at the present time, according to Frank
J. Smith, superintendent of the water
lines of the Open-River Transportation
Company. Captain Smith calls atten
tion to the fact that there have been
no accidents of a serious character to
any of the vessels of the Open-River
fleet, which have been in continuous
operation all Summer, the most danger
ous time of year, on the Upper River.
In fact, the only accident recorded
between Celilo and the Snake River
was the sinking of the little gasoline
boat Mata C. Hover, which has since
been raised, and is now running again.
The steamers Relief. Norma, W. R.
Todd and Mountain Gem, and lie gaso
line boats Mata C. Hover and Island
Queen, have operated successfully for
several months, and nave carried . all
freight offered.
This is remarkable on account of the
fact that no Improvements whatever
have been made by the Government,
and the river is practically the same
as It has been for many decades. Ac
cording to Captain Smith, all of these
boats, with two exceptions, have been
operated by men not acquainted with
the channels of the Upper River.
Captain Smith also states that of the
vessels being operated at present, only
one Is of the type which should be
used in such waters. This steamer is
the Norma, which is used as supply
boat for the contractors on the North
Bank Road.
The Open-River Company is hand
ling all the freight its vessels can car
ry at present, and Is bringing out
many thousands of bushels of grain.
For next season, the outlook is bright.
By that time . the company expects to
have several new steamboats in oper
ation. FOR GRAIN AND LUMBER,
Three Vessels Arrive, of Which Two
Are Large Steamships.
Two more grain vessels 'and a Mg lumber-carrier
were afhong the arrivals yes
terday; one of them, the British steam
ship Strathnairn, reached the city last
evening and anchored in the stream off
the dolphins. The big steamer comes
light from San Francisco, where she dis
charged a cargo of cement from Europe,
and is under charter to Kerr, Glfford &
Co.
The other grain ship is the British bark
Bankburn, which has Just reached Astoria
after a quick pasrage from Hamburg,
from which port she sailed on June L

Miss Helen Beach Taw Sure to Win
Local Music-Lovers With Her
Woaderful Voice.
In the appearance of Miss Helen Beach
Taw. which occurs on November 7. at
the Heilig Theater, there will be an event
of unusual importance in local musical
circles. Not only will it constitute a
welcome to one of the daughters of the
Pacific Coast, who has been away for ten
years, and who now returns as one of the
tew realty great artists1 of the present
time, but it also promises an evening of
unusual pleasure to the music lovers of
Portland and vicinity.
The experience which Miss Taw has
gained fronxxher ten years abroad with
the great masters of Europe, has de
veloped a voice which was already won
derful, into one of the greatest of the
fresent day. The critics both abroad and
n America have been very lavish in their
praise, and concede that Miss Taw pos
sesses one of the very few as well as
one of the finest pure lyric soprano voices
known today. She is Drobablr the only
successor to such famous singers as Patti,
semDricn, AieiDa, and otners equally as
famed.
The importance, therefore, in the coming
of Miss Taw, can well be appreciated. It
Is being anticipated with the keenest
delight. Her youthful appearance lends
to her impersonation a charm which older
prima donnas can no longer claim, and
the remarkable range of her voice, in
addition to its wonderful purity, at once
captivate her audiences.
Miss YaV will visit several of the other
leading Coast , cities, including Seattle
Tacoma and Vancouver, B. C. She will
use the Chickering piano, having re
quested the Eilers Piano House to place
one at her disposal. Miss Taw's tour is
under the direction of Lois Steera-Wynn
Comalt
consigned to Meyer, Wilson & Co., and
will take a cargo of wheat.
The other arrival was the big Norwe
gian tramp steamship Terje Viken. which
is coming for a cargo of lumber and
shouloreach here in time to commence
loading Monday morning.

FAMOUS RACER RETIRES
MAJOR DAINGERFIELD TO END
DAYS OJT TEXAS RANCH.
One of the Kcw Horses Who Won
More Than $100,000 in
Purses.
Major Daingerfleld, the winner of
several of the most notable races In
this country, and one of the few horses
who won over $100,000. has been sold
by Mose Goldblatt to Sam H Lazarus
for $5000. He is now at Churchill
Downs, In Louisville, where he was
thrown out of training two weeks ago,
and will be shipped at once to the
Texas turfman's ranch, where he will
be at the head of the stud.
Mr. Lazarus has had a covetous eye
on Major Daingerfleld for stud duty
for some time, and when he. met Mose
Goldblatt, he straightway began to
talk business, with the result that the
Bale was effected at a figure which Is
generally regarded as remarkably low.
The horse is big. strong, black, well
bred, being by Handspring-Mon Droit,
and there is every reason to believe he
will be a successful sire.'
The exact amount won by Major
Daingerfleld is $100,590, and practically
all of it was won In the East. His
most notable performances were in the
Brooklyn Derby, The Tidal, the Annual
Champion, the Parkway and the Long
Island Handicap. .
Major Daingerfleld in his racing days
was what many horsemen call a "rogue."
He was cunning and tricky, and no
trainer seemed to be able to get a line on
his disposition. He had great speed and
stability, and when he pleased could put
up a fine exhibition of gameness. Often,
however, at the very time when he was
figured as a certain winner he would sulk
and allow second and third-rate horses to
beat him.
"He was a horse with a sure-enough
disposition of his own." said an old trainer.
"He wasn't exactly what you would call
a bad actor at the post, but unless lie
took It into his head to get off well he
would not start. Many's the time I've
seen him tin-canning along two or three
lengths behind the field, when suddenly
he'd kind of fling up his head and step
out with an entirely different kind of gait.
It simply amounted to him having made
up his mind to get out In front. The
jockey really Had little to do with it, for
the Major would scoot up to the front
and wcld literally seem to climb over the
other horses in the race.? Then you'd
think he was the fastest and the greatest
hlng in the world, and the next time he
started you'd back him, only to find that
iie wasn't in the humor and was willing

to let any old thing beat him. He surely
was a rogue, was the Major, but I see
no reason why he shouldn't be a success
in the stud."
Major Daingerfleld was bred near Lex
ington, and was named for Major Fox
hall Daingerfleld, who is the manager of
James K. Keene's Castelton farm. He
was raced as a 2-year-old by Phil J.
Dwyer, and was afterward sold to An
drew Miller and W. B. Leeds, Mr. Gold
blatt bought him at a surprisingly low
price and has raced him principally in the
West. For the past year or two he
seemed to become more cunning than
ever and while at times he seemed to
have his old speed there was no depend
ing on his performance. He sulked more
and more, and even grew to dislike run
ning in the mud, which used to be "pie"
for him. His last race was July 24, at
La ton la. when he finished fourth in a
five-horse race in which the contestants
were only second-raters.
MANY XEW YACHTS PLANNED.
New York Racing Men Will Prepare
for Aquatic Sport.
There are various Important plans
brewing In the East for yacht racing
for next season. Most important was
the statement positively made by a
man In close touch with racing affairs
that Frank M. Smith, owner of the Ef
fort, would build a 90-foot schooner. It
Is stated that there will be two others
built in the class, and that one of these
will be for C. Oliver Iselin. It is prob
able that later there may be further
accessions to the list, for the building
fever- is strong among those who fos
ter the racing of large yachts.
It can also be stated that there Is
small probability of the 70-footers
Rainbow and Yankee being put into
commissio'n. Harry L. Maxwell has de
clared that he. will not race again un
less there are more than two boats in
commission. There is little chance of
either "W. K. Vanderbilt, Jr., or W. Ross
Proctor racing again, and the chances
are that Yankee and Rainbow will not
leave their berths.
It is said that no matter whether
they do or not Charley Barr will not
again handle a TO-footer. What Barr
has in mind is not known, but it is ru
mored that he will be at the helm of
the Ingomar, and that Commodore
Plant will again put his famous
schooner in commission. It is also In,
tended to make extensive alterations in
Elmlna, which will practically make
her a new boat, so that with Queen, El
mlna, Ingomar and three new 90-foot-ers
out the outlook for big schooner
racing is exceptionally bright.
If Harry Maxwell does not race Yan
kee he may be a. competitor in the new
57-foot class. No definite announce
ment Is yet made by George M. Pyn
chon or Harry F- Lippltt as to the com
position of tnelr class, but five names
mentioned as possibilities axe E. D.

boys. There is small chance of either
the Hanan s or Commodore Park going
in, but the others are likely possibili
ties.
There will be too building between 57
and 33 feet, the most important devel
opment in these classes being the
"transfer of the 40-footer Mira by
Charles Lane Poor to John T. Plrie. Mr.
Poor took the raceabout Mavis, and will
devote himself to racing her if he
races.. Mira will be raced by Allan H.
and Gordon L. Pirie, sons of the pur
chasers of the boat.
There is considerable talk of organ
izing a class to build 33-footers at the
top of the class. With a 86 water-line
boat these would afford the most at
tractive class possible for a moder
ate expense, but It Is hardly likely that
the class will be built next year.
Next season will mark the passing
of the famous New York 30-footers.
This year there were 10 left in the
class. The most active members of the
class were W. Butler Duncan, Jr.,
George M. Pynchon and Stuyvesant
Walnwright. All three have sold their
boats, and others are tor sale. The
class will doubtless appear, but not as
the well-organized, keenly contested
racing proposition it has been.
W. Butler Duncan, Jr., is mentioned
as a probable builder In both 57 and
S3-foot classes. G. M. Pynchon has al
ready taken up the 57-footer. and Stuy
vesant Walnwright is organizing tnn
American Yacht Club class that will
Include a half-dozen or more keen
yachtsmen. Dahinda is sold to W.
Emlen Roosevelt, Cara Mia to Mrs.
Stone, and Neola II to Royal Dodge.
Aged Nimrod Active.
Four score years of actiye life have
not dampened the sportsman's enthusi
asm of "Uncle George" Watson, of Bis
marck, N. D., who was recently elected
president of the North Dakota Sports
man's Association. For the last 25 years
Mr. Watson has ranked as one of the
most Indefatigable hunters of the state.
Previous to that time he chased game,
little and big. through Illinois, Ohio, Iowa,
Minnesota and Pennsylvania, his career
as a nimrod beginning in the early '50s.
He boasts that he is good for many more
years of the sport.
Belmont Track Is Fast.
That the Belmont track is remarkably
fast Is again shown by the records broken
at the present meeting, as follows: Oc
tober 8, 1 5-16 miles, 2:10 S-5, by Ironsides;
October 15, 6 furlongs, 1:18 1-5, by Ox
ford; October 16, 7 furlongs, 1:22 by Rose
ben; on October 17, 6 furlongs, 1:17 1-5,
by Voorhees; October 19, 6H furlongs,
1:16 3-5, by Lady Vera. Considering the
claim in the East that this year's horses
are hardly up to etandaroV the showing
becomes the more notable. Probably the
sprinting feats may be due to the
straighter course.

MEN CURED
My Fee
in Any
Ailment
IS-
$10
DR. TAYLOR,
Leading Specialist
I do not appeal especially to the man
seeking the cheapest cure in asking;
such a low fee afe $10 for the cure of any
uncomplicated cue of Male Disorders,
but I want to reach all men who ofeject
to paying the exorbitant fees heretofore
charged by specialists. My methods in
sure quick results, or I would have to
charge more for my time. The outcome
In every case undertaken Is certain, or
I could not hold out the proposition to
effect tbe cure before asking the fee.
Every Promise Fulfilled
I could not continue in business year
after year treating thousands of cases
annually with my business Integrity
abeolutely unlmpeached. unless I carried
out to the letter every promise made
my patients. I am careful never to
undertake cases that have gone beyond
help. I do not charge for the first ex
amination of patients, and always de
termine to my absolute satisfaction that
health and strength can be restored in
every case. Then I bring every advan
tage of my 25 years study and experi
ence intQ action to clear that man of
disease, to undo the injury of excesses
or abuse, and build up tbe latent forces
which have run down.
Men and Men Only
My practice Is limited to the disorders
of the male, and Is further confined to
these special and chronic affections of
the pelvic tract. These Include, Sperma
torrhoea. Lost Vitality, Varicocele,
Stricture, Hydrocele, Contracted Disor
ders, Contagious Blood Poison, Bladder
and Kidney Diseases. I have taken up
these ailments especially, because thou
sands of lives are ruined and thousands
of men - are not what they should he,
because they are held down by chronic
weakness, which the average practicing
physician does not understand and usu
ally tries to make light of by telling the
patient that nature will soon repair the
waste. But the drains continue . until
the vital force Is sapped from the body
and both the mental and physical struc
tures of the body collapse.
I Have the Kelp You Need
I find the cause of the trouble first,
and direct treatment to that always.
My aim is never to hide the symptoms,
but to cure the ailment completely and
thoroughly. My success Is based on
these methods, which must sooner -or
later be applied to your case.
