EUREKA BUSINESS HEAVY Bulk of Traffic Handled by the Roa noke and George W. Klder Is Be tween Kureka and San Fran cisco and Portland. Tlie North Pacific Steamship Company, owners of tho steamships Roanoke, Geo. "W. Elder and F. A. Kllburn, wil! not make any reduction in passenger rates between Portland and San Francisco. A rumor was current on the streets yester day to the effect that the rates on the Roanoke and Klder would be cut to meet those now prevailing on the Rose City end Senator. Harry Young, local agent of the company, sajd yesterday that he had received posftive instructions from C P. Doe not to sell a ticket at less than inn CBianiiHnea raie wnicn naa oeen in force for the past two years. "Why should the North Pacific Com pany meet a cut on San Francisco pas senger business?" said Mr. Young yester day. "The hulk of our traffic Is be tween Kureka and Portland and Eureka and San Francisco. We sell on our Hteamers through tickets to San Fran .elco for $15 first class. To Eureka the fare is $12.V and our boats are full all the time. The fare from Eureka to San Francisco is $10 and we are obliged to jive only one meal and one lodging. Each one of oiv vessels sailing from the North ern California port is filled and you can ce for yourself that on each berth we receive $22.50 between Portland and San Francisco and incidentally save two meals. It would be foolish to cut our through rate to $10. j "I think that the action of the San Francisco and Portland Steamship Com- which operate direct between San Fran cisco and Portland. It is true that they have been making inroads on the passen ger business between the two principal cities. They have affected, our com pany as far as the travel between Port land and San Francisco and San Pedro to some extent, but our Eureka business continues to grow."

East Siberia, and lO.OuO hair1 Is for Nluchwang, North China. This is the first time that one of the reg ular vessels of the Portland & Asiatic line has sailed for Siberian ports. It has been the custom to dispatch a cargo of flour for Vladivostok from Portland to Kunz & Albers each year and hereto fore a steamer has been chartered for the purpose. Freight offerings being 'light this season, a contract was made with the regular line to carry the food- stuffs. The Numantia i the eighth grain car Xier to clear foreign during March. The Stiven vessels preceding were all wheat laden and carried a total of POO.aiO bush "els. The four shipments began with the cicarRnce of the Numantia. Values nmount to considerable more than $1.

Will Load the British Ship Arctic Stream. Ralfour. Guthrie & Co. will begin 'loading the British ship Arctic Stream tomorrow morning. ishe will take full cargo of grain and will proceed for orders. The Arctic Stream was se cured by the local exporting firm for 'Ja shillings, the lowest figure given out for the present season. The Arctic Stream arrived In port February 10 from Rotterdam in general -argo. She had been chartered out by C.riflith, "Williams & Co., of Liverpool aod London, for 31 shillings and 6 pence. She had three cancelling dates and arrived for March loading. She was taken on speculation and the char terers did not have a cargo. In the meantime, the financial troubles came on and rates took a tumble. Local shippers took advantage of the sltua tion in which GrliTith. Williams & Co. had been caught and forced the Arctic Stream down to -a shillings. In the local harbor at present there are four vessels on the disengaged Ust. They are the Ley land Brothers. La:glemore Brodick Cast'e nd Crown of India. Offers are slow and the mini mum rate for the vessels is -7 shillings and 6 pence. The rate paid for the Arctic Stream was two and six less than this.

One Burled With Military Honors and the Other Awarded a Pension by King Edward. , LONDON, March 14. The terrible In dian mutiny of 1857 has been recalled to the minds of people- here recently .by facts concerning two brothers who per formed acts of heroism In those trying times. One, E. J. Churcher, has just been awarded a pension of JJ00 per an num in recognition of his services. The other, David Churcher, has just been burled with military honors at Fateh garb, the place he helped to defend 30 years ago. EL J: Churcher is Indebted to the direct intervention of the King, through His Majesty's private secretary, ixra Knollys. for this recognition or a roman tic deed. Mr. Churcher. now 76 years old, is a tall, commanding figure. His tread is still elastic, his manner dignified, and his speech quiet but full of force. Two of his sons are officers in the British army. Two of his brothers were killed in the mutiny. In July. 1867. when the mutiny was at Its height and Agra deluged with blood. J. Russell Colvln, the hapless Lieuten- ant-Oovernor of the United Provinces, sent Churcher, a young civilian, to' at tempt to restore British authority in Ktah, a town and fort, iO miles away from Agra on the high road from Delhi to Cawnpore. With a. force of 100 horsemen and 100 foot he advanced mpon Etah. A band of 20 Sikhs was hired to assist. They scaled the walls with ladders, the troops took possession of the gates, and the town was won.' David Churcher was famous in the an nals of the mutiny for his rescue of Major Robertson in the disastrous re treat of the Europeans from Fatehgarh. After a month's desperate defense the little band of defenders, with the women and children, attempted to escape down the river In three' large boats. Major Robertson's boat grounded on a sandbank and received the tire of two boats full of the mutineers. Badly wounded. Major Robertson im plored the women to jump overboard rather than trust to the natives. Many, assisted by soldiers, escaped in this way. Others were captured and murdered two weeks later. Mr. Churcher, jumping overboard, found Major Robertson struggling in the water. With the aid of an oar he sup ported the wounded officer until he was able to drag him ashore at a spot sev eral miles down the river. Here, with the aid of a loyal native, he tended him In the jungle until the officer's death two months later. When E. J. Churcher returned home in 1858. bringing with him Major Robert son's jewelry for his relatives. Queen Victoria heard of the gallantry of David Churcher. and Her Majesty cabled to the Viceroy of India that he was to be re warded in open durbar. This was done, and Mr. Churcher received a small In- MAY ENTER UPPER HOUSE England's Premier Not Expected to Make Change at Once. LONDON. March 14. fSoecial.WTho suggestion made In the Times that Sir nenry t-ampoeli-Kannerman should" leave the House of Commons and direct the destinies of his party from me upper chamber has excited a flutter in political circles. It is recognised that the Prime Minister cannot be very much In the t'ommons this session, and the majority of the ministerialists are quite content that he should seek this relief, which the state of his health has rendered almost imperative. There are, of course, disadvantages, not the least being in relation to the position of Mr. Asquith. The present arrangement places nearly all the labor of leadership upon the shoulders of the Chancellor of the Exchequer without the responsibility, and eventually this con sideration may compel a change. It Is not. -however, expected that anything will be done before Easter. It is within the bounds of possibility that if the Prime Minister finds that his health has not Improved by that -time, he will consult the party as to whether he should seek to be relieved of his duties,-and in that event the party may succeed In per suading him to go to the House of 1.ortls with the Premiership, and thus leave the leadership in the Commons completely in Mr. Asuuith's hands. LIKELY BUNCH OF TRACK ATHLETES "Bill" Haywood Is Bringing Out Some Splendid Ma terial at Oregon: STRONG IN THE SPRINTS Moo res and, Huston Will Make Up for Kelly's Loss Distance Men Make Splendid Showing Many Candidates for the Team. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene, Or., March 14. (Special) The recent fair weather ha brought out a large number of candidates for the varsity track team, and the oval on Kincalc. Field has been crowded each evening with ambitious sprinters and hammer- throwers. Trainer Hayward has adopted a sys tem of preliminary training for all track and field me, which includes a relay race each evening. Relay teams are made up of all the men out for practice and each man is required to run from 50 to 100 yards at his best speed. Many schemes have been under taken to keep the grinding process of training from becoming monotonous, and this scheme Is succeeding nicely. The. Oregon team will be remarkably strong in the distances this year, which feature will to a degree make up the loss of Kelly in the sprints and jumps and McKinney and Hug in the weights. A large number of Freshmen are showing- good form in the longer runs. The men who made up the victorious team in the recent interclass relay race. May, Hoover. Downs. Moon and Slevers, make a splendid bunch of Freshman material. Some of these men r.re ex pected to crowd some of the old-timers off this year's team. Breeding, of Portland High School, who was show ing up well in the endurance races, has left college. Of the old distance men again out for honors there are: Woods. '0!; Dod son, '10; McEwen, '09; Sullivan, '08; Reed. '09. and Platts, "09. Harry Lowell, a member of the varsity team in 1906, is again in college and is counted a point winner in the mile. Lowell, when a freshman, forced the veteran Davolt, of O. A. C, to clip off the fast time of 4 minutes, 41 seconds at the four-cornered meet at Salem In 1906. Good Material in Sprints. Oregon's strength in the sprints will be as great, comparatively speaking, as it was last year, and the loss of Kelly will not be. as keen as some people would imagine. Moores and Huston were able to annex second and third places In all of last year s meets, and are again in good form. Kilts, '10, Is a strong runner and he and Ober teuffer. '09, are expected to make good time in the 220 and 440-yard dashes. Paul Reed, Oregon's leading quarter man last year, will take care of this event and may also be used in the 100 and 220-yard dashes. Dodson and McEwen give promise of good results in the 440, and will alternate between this event and the half-mile. The weakest department of this year's team, in comparison with that of last year, will be in the jumps. Kelly was a certain first in the broad jump and his absence will be keenly felt. Captain Eberle Kuykendall will be the best man In this department on the Oregon team. Trainer Hayward also has his eye on some promising freshman material for the broad jump, i ne nign jump win do taken care of by Captain Kuykendall Moullen, Mclntyre, Johnson and Nell Havward lis very anxious for "Chuck" Tavlor. right half on this year's football eleven, to train for this event, but Taylor wil! likely try for the baseball team, since he is a catcher of repute and there seems to be no other available man for that position. New Material in Pole-Vault. Oregon's strength in the pole vault cannot be sized up closely. Moullen, the regular varsity vaulter for the past two years, and Captain-elect of next year's football team, will retire from participa tion in this event on account of over weight. . The most promising man in the vault is "Dusty" Roberts, who ran and vaulted for McMinnville College for the past two years. Another good man for the vault Is Robinson, who learned the rudiments of track work at Portland High School. Robinson cleared close to 10 feet 6 inches on several occasions last year and tied Moullen for first place in the Pullman meet. The hurdles wil' be looked out for by Captain KuykentUU, Moores and Hous ton. The first Uo men run the high hurdles and tp latter two the low hurdles. These men easily romped off with first and second places in all the meets Oregon had last year. In McKinney and Hug, the varsity lost two of the most remarkable weight men the Northwest has ever seen, and with Zacharias, the wonder ful hammer-thrower, they made up the greatest weight trio possessed last year by any college track team in the United States. All of these men were good for 42 feet. S inches in the shot put, with McKinney leading at 46 feet and Zacharias next with 43 feet, 4 inches. In the hammer-throw, each member of the trio could toss 'the 16 pound ball over 140 feet. Zacharias leading with the Northwest record at 155 feet, 6 Inches, and Hug following closely with 150 feet. 9 inches. McKinney'- lead in the discus with more than 120 feet. Hug was good for 118 feet and Zacharias made a record of 115 feet. Zacharias will be Oregon's main stay in the weights this season. Fred Moullen will be heard from in the weight events during the coming sea son. Moullen did good work in the weights while at Lick High School. Moullen is good for 125 feet- in the hammer and 38 feet in the shot-put. Another prospective weight man is Curtis Gardiner. '08. Gardner has thrown the hammer close to 135 feet and will do close to 145 this year. Other promising weight men are: Mc lntyre. Grant, Scott, Sweek, Voight, Dean and Applegate. If Oregon's star track men come up to expectations, the championship ban ner ought to again come to Eugene. A training table will be started later in the season. Oregon is figuring on an even break with O. A. C Whitman and Pull man, and believes Idaho and Washington will prove easy marks. Followers of the track believe there will be a close con test for championship honors between Oregon, O. A. C, Whitman and Pull man. FIND THE WORLD TOO HARD Five Girl Friends Kill Themselves. Another Is Saved. NEW YORK, March 14 A startling etory of how five young girls who came to New Tork from St. Paul a little more than a year ago died, each by her own hand, was told today by 17-year-old Helen Baxter, after she had made a vain effort to end her own life. Helen said she was one of the party of six girls who came to New York to make their way in the world after receiving a course of training in a business school in the Minnesota city. She turned on the gas in her room last night, but was found this morning in time for her life to be saved. When asked why she had tried to end her life, the girl astonished the ambulance surgeon and others who had crowded around by her story of the fate of her friends. "Why should I not be allowed to die," she asked. "My five girl friends who left St. Paul with me a year ago after we left school have all committed suicide. "I want to die as they did and join them." "Was it a suicide pact?" she was asked. "My five friends are all dead and they died as they chose," was the reply. The girl refused to give the names of any of her girl friends. A short time after their arrival In New Tork, she said, one of the girls married. She did not live happily with her husband and killed her self a few months afterward. In the meantime another girl had been seeking employment without success. She sought death and found it by the same way her friend had. The next to go in the same manner, according to Helen's story, was one of the girls who had fallen a victim to a man's false friendship. With three of their number dead, the three that remained worried constantly and when hard times came and employ ment was hard to find, two of the three, voluntarily followed their friends to tne grave. That left Helen alone. Then a' man came into her Hie. Tne man was represented to her as immensely wealthy. she said, and for a time sne was nappy. Then he suddenly sailed for. Europe. Sbe had nothing more to live for after that, she said, and decided to join her five friends in death. Helen said her father is dead, but her mother still lives in St. Paul. She refused to give her mother's address. When it was found that the girl would recover she was taken to a police station and locked up ana cnargea with having attempted suicide. ST. PAUU Minn., March 14. Helen Baxter is not known here.. TIRED OF FIGHT1NS WORLD JERE KXADE COOKE ADMITS IT IS STKOXGER THAN HE. Rector Who Eloped With Young Girl Telegraphs His Grandmother for Aid Says He Is a Failure. SAN FRANCISCO, March 14. Jere K. Cooke, the deposed pastor of tha Episco pal Church at Hempstead, L. I., who eloped with Floretta Whaley. about a year ago, and who. It is said, telegraphed yesterday to Mrs. Kezlh Whaley, the girl's grandmother tor help, and that the family were 111 and destitute, were lo cated in this city last night in a suite of rooms on Masonic avenue, well to all appearances, and with comfortable sur roundings. The baby alone looked pale and peaked, but the parents attributed this to the hot weather. In an interview, the former rector ad mitted that he had telegraphed for help, and admitted that the struggle of life had been too much for him, and that he had made a failure of everything. "We are different from the others," said Cooke. "We cannot ask friends to help us, because we threw aside friends. We laughed at the world, and the world will laugh at us. Lately I have begun to realize that no man, however strong he may be or however great may be his Incentive, can buck the world. It is older than us and stronger." In reply to the question: "You are comfortable and seemingly have all you want." he said: "It is not a matter of material comfort, it Is the knowledge that one is an outcast. It is the understanding that to the kind-hearted you are an oh ject of charitable curiosity and to the others . Just a simple cad. t nese are things which no man can fight, and I am just tired. Cooke has some friends who say that as soon as it Is known that he is in want there will be no trouble about his getting everything he needs. They say it Is only by reason of the fact that he has not told anyone of his straits that he is in trouble. CALLS HIM "UNBALANCED" Butte Man Has Words of Condemna . tion for President. BUTTE, Mont., March 14. Attorney Jesse B. Roote, regarding whom a state ment was made by Mr. Loeb, Secretary to the President, In Washington yester day, replied today. Mr. Roote went to Washington to ask pardon for a Salt Lake book dealer, named Shepard, sent to prison for ad vertising salacious literature in the muils. President Roosevelt refused . to pardon Shepard. Roote returned to Butte and last Sun day made a bitter attack upon President Roosevelt, whom he characterized as "mentally unbalanced." Yesterday Mr. Loeb replied. In his statement today, Roote says that when the President refused to pardon Shepard, he wrote on the back of the petition the statement that Shepard ought to be con fined in prison for life. Mr. Roote says he is willing to produce this document. He says: "The President's temper and radicalism drive so much into excess of words that it would require more than a column to Make No Consult a live, wide-awake specialist about your case one who has experience, skill and ability, one who can give you the best treatment to be had on the Pacific Coast, regardless of price.

NEW YORK, March It One hundred girls employed in the candy factory of Arthur Dssing, at 382 Pearl street, were at work on the fourth and fifth floors today when fire was discovered in the bottom of the elevator shaft, preventing their exit by the stairways. While some of the male employes fought the fire, Henry Coch, the elevator boy, ran his ele vator to the top floor and said to the girls in as cool a manner as he could assume: . "There is a fire In the basement. May be you had better let me take you down." Reassured by hi coolness, the girls were saved from panic, and Coch took five elevator loads of them to the first floor before the flames reached such a height In the elevator well that he was compelled to abandon the car. On his last trip the fire bursf into the car and burned his hands. The girls Who were not taken out by Coch took to the roof and the fire es capes and reached the ground in safety. The fire consumed tonB of candy and the factory, a five-story building, was prac tically destroyed. LOOPHOLE FOR GRAFTERS Granted 30 Bays to File Appeals for New Trial. HARRISBURG. Pa., March 14.

My Direct-Method Treatment : Offers a Positive Cure for Every Ailing Man The methods I devised twenty years ago for treating men's diseases proved a radical step in medical science. Those methods have enabled me to cure diseases that were for merly regarded as incurable. In working out my methods I held the theory that Nervous Debility, for instance, was not a constitutional or functional ailment, but a prostatic affection, and therefore, merely lo cal. I reasoned that its constitutional effects were simply the results of a tremendous waste of energy due to inflammation of tlfe prostate gland; that this being true, a loyal treatment could alone effect a core.
