THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, 3IAT 24, liW8. 8 STEAMER ALESIA AS MIXED CARGO Liner Clears for the Orient With a Large Quantity of Fiour and Paper. WHEAT EXPORTS SHORT Five Cargoes Will Make rp List for May Lumber Shipments Will Be Fair Ancaols Fixed for Imm- . ber Notes of Waterfront. Flour shipments to the Orient were in creased to 79,124 Barrels by the clearance of the Portland-Asiatic liner Alesla yes terday. The flour carried on the vessel was furnished entirely by mills in the interior and in valued at twI.snJO. The steamship will leave down for Astoria this morning. In addition to the foodstuffs on boardi the manifest shows 438,923 feet of lumber and general cargo, valued at $26,265. The enneral cargo consists largely of news- . paper in rolls, and "machinery. large ' portion of which is for mining and mill- inn. Wheat shipments to date to foreign ports total 4S4.732 bushels. Three cargoes , tiave been dispatched for orders, one to Dublin district and one to Ipswich. The cargo to the latter port included 107,000 bushels of barley. Foreign exports of ' foodstuffs will probably end with the clearance of the Alesla. There are two vessels under charter of grain cargoes, but neither will be able to get away be- . fore June. The British ship Ancalos is reported to have been chartered by Balfour, Guthrie & Co, to carry a full cargo of lumber to Europe. It is generally understood among ' shipping men that the Ancalos will load either here or on the Sound a full cargo of heavy timber. It is understood that Balfour, Guthrie & Co, have bad some trouble in making satisfactory terms on lumber exports and have decided to ship lor themselves. kose err v sails for south Passenger Business Falling Orf on Coastwise Steamships. With 200 passengers and a full cargo of freight, the steamship Rose City sailed for San Francisco yesterday morning. At noon the steamship State of California nailed from San Francisco for Portland. The latter vessel is in charge of an en tirely new crew, her regular complement of officers and men having been detained at the quarantine grounds in San Fran cisco harbor. On the last trip down a passenger on the State was taken ill of smallpox and the vessel was or dered to quarantine for 14 days. The ship was fumigated and allowed to de part, tout the officers, crew and pas sengers were held for the prescribed time. Passenger business between Portland and California points has fallen off to a large extent since the departure of the fleet from San Francisco to Puget Sound. Many people made the southern trip earlier this season than heretofore in order to view the battleships and festivi ties at San Francisco. have carried away not less than 10.400 aliens as steerage passengers. The week's total Is expected to reach upwards ot 17,000. Statistics show that since October be tween 475,000 and 500,000 laborers departed and no let up is looked for by the steam ship companies for some time to come. The shutting down of factories, suspen sion of railroads and public improvement work, and the general cessation of busi ness activity that has thrown thousands out of employment are held to be re sponsible for the movement eastward. - During the first four months of 1907 the total exodus of laborers was 96,731, while for the first four months of this year the figures reached 239,010, an increase of 142, 279. During the same period of 1907 there reached here 404,339, while in the same months of this year the arrivals numbered 124,392, a decrease of 279,040. WILL DETAIL HIS CHARGES Anbury to Tell Government About California Land-Frauds. SAX FRANCISCO, May 23. After a de lay of over four years Lewis 1 Aubury, 8tate Mineralogist - of California, thinks he has an opportunity to prove to the Washington authorities the extent and character of the land frauds in this tate. A telegram received from Mr. Au bury says President Roosevelt has ar ranged for him to have an extended con ference in Washington today with Secre tary of the Interior James R, Garfield, O. WANT TWO ADDITIONAL BOATS Open River Transportation Company AVill Build on Upper Columbia. The officials of the Open River Trans portation Company have succeeded in raising a sufficient amount of money to construct two first - class stern-wheel steamers for the Upper Columbia River. It Is the intention of the company to have the boats ready for operation by the time the new-crop grain is ready to move. The steamers will connect with the J. N. Teal at the portage road and will give shippers as far up as Ken ne wick a direct connection with Portland. The J. N. Teal has been operating on the lower river, and the Relief (the only craft on the upper river) has been tied up at Celilo. The Relief Is a small ves sel and cannot supply a sufficient amount of grain for the TeaL The new vessels will probably be built at Celilo. STEAMER INTELLIGENCE. Don to Arrive. Name. From. Date.

Aubury went East a couple of weeks ago. He took a lot of documentary proofs with him and his friends are confident he will be able to prove his repeated asser tions concerning California land frauds and how agents sent from Washington have made Inaccurate reports of their in vestigations. Aubury contends that over 3.000.000 acres of land have been falsely entered upon in the state and that these lands are worth in excess of tl00.000.000. Aubury has stated that more mineral land in the state has been subject to illegal entry oy manipulation of scrip than any one has ever believed. Lower Duty on Cranberries. NEW YORK, May 23. It has been decided by the Board of United States General Appraisers that cranberries packed In casks are dutiable property under the specific provision in the tar iff for "cranberries." The importers of the berries objected to the action of the customs authorities in classify ing; the berries as "fruits preserved in their own juice," with a tax of 1 cent per pound, and 35 per cent ad valorem. In reducing; the' assessment Judge Waite says the berries have not lost their identity and should be returned for duty at 25 per cent as claimed. SALE IS A FAILURE Sheepmen Reject Low Bids Made on Wool. ' POOR OPENING OF SEASON Prices Offered at the Arlington Auc tion Range From 6 1-4 to 8 3-4 Cents Growers Taken by Sur prise Quality of the Clip. ARLINOTOX. Or.. May 23. (Special.) That the wool market Is weaker than was anticipated, came to light here today, with the first attempted sales of this year's clip. Sheepmen were not at all prepared for the surprise tnat awaited them when the re sults of the first bids became known Bidding- began on a lot containing 21,000 pounds, and the highest b), S cents per pouna, was promptly rejected by the own er. Four other lots, aggregating 77.600 pounds, were offered for sale, the offers ranging- from 6f4 - cents to 6 cents a pound. These prices did not appeal very strongly to the growers and received the same fate as the first offer. Buyers seemed to contest with one another In seeing who could make the lowest bid: Instead of the highest. The only reasons given for the extremely low prices prevailing are the recent finan cial disturbance and the extremely dry sea son with hard winds. The wool Is of good quality, but owing- to the season, contains considerable dirt. This makes the shrink age greater and helps to account for the low prices offered. The growers still remember the high prices of last season and refuse to sell. Some were reminded of the hard times of 1-893, and went so far as to compare the present Administration with the Cleveland Administration. A surprising feature of the bidding, and one that no one seemed able to account for was the greet difference In the bids on the I same xots, tne oners varying rrom t1 cents to 84 cents a pound. It appeared that the buyers either did not care to purchase or that there was a great difference in judging values. The next sale will be held In Pendleton on Monday. - Wool at St. XjOuIs. ST.

KILLED BY JACK ROLLERS Holmes' Display of Money and Jew . elry Attracted Them. CHICAGO. May 23. The death of Rob ert C. P. Holmes, purchasing: agent for the Commonwealth Edison Company, was not cleared yesterday, but investigation narrowed down to two evenly-balanced theories. One of these theories generally held is that Holmes, after a display of money and his Jewelry In several bar rooms, was followed by clever, high-class "jack rollers" Into the alley off Adams street, leading to the rear entrance of O'Connor's Buffet, in the Republic build ing. There he was assaulted and robbed. The blow, as a result of his weak physi cal condition, killed him. The other theory is that Holmes came to his death as a result of a stroke of apoplexy and a fall, and that his body was robbed later by alley loafers. The main thing on which the police are depending to start them on a real clue towards Holmes' murderers, is the Jew elry that was taken from his body. De scriptions of the missing articles are being printed in circulars which will be sent all over the country. High-class "Jack rollers" are described as being well-dressed men whose trade is to linger in or about barrooms until they "spot" some man with money who is under the influence of drink, then trail him until they get a chance to rob him, perhaps picking up an acquaintance with him and suggesting that the party go somewhere else. It is known that several men of this type were attracted to the National Electric Convention, on the entertainment committee of which Holmes was the chairman. They knew these delegates would be well supplied with spending money and that their chance would come. They were able by reason of their dress to go about the hotels. A gang of four of these men is being hunted for partic ularly by the police. More Gold for Europe. NEW YORK, May 23. The National City Bank, today engaged $1,300,000 gold for export. This makes a total of $32,155,000 engaged for export on the present movement.

EXAMINATION AND CONSULTATION FREE AND nrVl'JMiU OREGON MEDICAL INSTITUTE 291i Morrison Street, Between Fourth and Fifth, Portland, Oregon NEW TURN TO APARTMENTS MODERN CONVENIENCES RE QUIRED BY RENTERS. Increase In Number of "Community' Homes Caused by Scarcity of Dwellings. Urgent demand for dwellings in Portland has had a wonderfully stim ulating effect on building of flats and apartment-houses. In the last issue of the city directory 34 apartment-houses were listed. That list was made up to December, and from that time until the present 44 permits have been is sued for others, making the total 78. In other words, the number of apartment-houses erected In the last five months and a half exceed by 10 the number listed in December of 1907. Probably in no class of buildings erected in Portland is there greater advancement made than in moderniz ing styles in apartment-houses. Where a few years ago a family would ac cept almost any sort of so-called con veniences, that is no longer the case. Apartments in the present era must provide not only the conveniences and requisites, but the luxuries of house keeping, if they are to attract the better class of tenants. Of the 84 apartment-houses listed as in existence in December, not over 10 are built of brick or concrete, the balance being frame. Of those erected since that time a larger proportion are of the more substantial materials. In point of cost of the new buildings out of a total of $194,300 invested in apartments there are four which cost for construction over $15,000 each, and the rest average in cost about $5000 each. An apartment-house to be considered up-to-date, among other conveniences must have heat, eleotric lighting, gas, range, hot and cold water, telephones, janitor service, private "lift" to base ment for receiving stores, private baths, compressed air carpet cleaners refuse tubes, and, in the larger houses, main entrance attendants. The time is. approaching when Port land will have several apartment houses of large dimensions and of strictly modern appointments similar to those found in the principal East ern cities. As it is now, there are a number having the conveniences enum erated above, but investors have not as yet undertaken the erection of piles running up into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. In Chicago, for instance, apartments are rented at $300 to $500 a month in the principal apartment-houses, but several ' years will elapse before such luxurious "homes" will meet with a paying demand in this part of the country. A gradual im provement is noticeable, however, in the class of-apartment-houses in Port land, and suites renting up to $75 a month are not unusual. STOCK MARKET IS WEAK Government's Suit Against New Ha Ten Road Demoralizes Trading. . NEW YORK, May 23. Demoralization accompanied by unrestrained selling of securities caused today's stock' market to be the weakest since -the panic last Fall. The professed motive for most of the selling was the Inference drawn from the Government's suit against the New Haven Railroad for violation of the anti-trust law. All semblance of support disap peared from the market. Union Pacific slumped 6; St. Paul and Southern Pa cific '6; Reading 4; Illinois Central 4; Northern Pacific 3; Missouri Pacific and St. Louis & Southwestern preferred' 34, and the general list all the way from one to two points. Some feverish rallies showed the eagerness of the bears to take profits on the short side, but the closing tone of the market was demoralized. - STREET EXPERT LECTURES R. H.

GIVE RUEF A SECOND TRIAL Another Parkslde Indictment to Be Brought Vp. SAN FRANCISCO, May 23. District At torney Langdon, his assistant, Francis J. Heney, and Detective William J. Burns held a consultation today to arrange for again bringing Abraham Ruef to trial. It is expected that another indictment In the Parkslde matter will be chosen for the next attempt to secure a conviction for bribery of Supervisors. The case will probably be called and set for trial in Judge Dunne's court on Monday.

MAY BE ALREADY WEDDED Report Renewed of Secret Marriage of Anna Gould and Helle. NEW YORK, May 23. The report that Prince Helle de Sagan and Mme. Anna Gould were married in Hoboken, N. J., before they sailed for Europe on separate steamers last April was revived today. According to the report current today, the Prince and Mme. Gould were married at Myers Hotel in Hoboken the night before the Prince sailed. No record of the mar riage was ever made, but though the laws of New Jersey require persons having the power to perform marriage ceremo nies to file a copy of the certificate within 30 days, no penalty attaches to failure to comply with the rule. REAL GORES FOR MEN V The physician who has devoted the greater portion of his life to a careful study of these special diseases who has learned by years of successful practice the cause, the character and the cure of these ob stinate and intricate maladies of man is far better able to effect a speedy, perfect and permanent cure than is the general-practitioner who meets them but seldom.

SURGICAL DISPENSARY CORNER SECOND AND YAMHILL STREETS, PORTLAND, OREGON. w M. mm CURED My methods are original with me, and are the result of many years experience in medical practice. I effect a cure in every case I take for treatment, because my treat ment is adjusted to the needs of each patient with scientific precision. I leave nothing to guesswork. I KNOW when I begin treating a patient that I will perform a complete and permanent CURE. Such a cure by my treatment Is just as certain as that two and two make four. I claim that nothing less than complete eradication of the disease from the system is a real cure I treat to completely remove the disease and not merely the symptoms. I drive out every root and fiber of the ailment and effect a cure that will make you strong and vigorous for a lifetime. The cures I effect are the result of my thorough knowledge of every phase of the disease I treat and to the fact that I apply individual treatment to each case. In every instance I know the ailment and I know the cure for it. The fact that I agree to wait for my fee until you are cured is proof of my confidence in my ability to cure in every case Some physicians assert that certain diseases of men are incurable. I deny that, and stand ready to PROVE that by my methods there is no disease peculiar to men that cannot be cured. You Can Pay Me When You Are Cured UR. TAYLOR. The Leading Specialist. , VARICOCELE. Under my -treatment the most aggravated cases of varicocele are cured in a. few days' time. There Is no pain, and it is seldom neces sary that the patient be detained from his occupation. Normal cir culation Is at once restored throughout all the organs and their natural processes of waste tnd repair are again established. If vou are afflicted with varicocele consult me at once. Delay can bring on aggravated conditions and nervous complications and involve the general health. No other physician employs a like treatment, and so thorough is my work that there need not be the slightest fear of a relapse into old conditions. MY EXPERIENCE Twenty - five years of successful practice in Men's Diseases enable me to apply the proper methods and medicines. I treat Varicocele, H y d r o c ele. Contracted Disorders, Specific Blood Poison, Piles and Stricture restoring all affected organs to normal and healthy ac tion in the shortest possible space of time. FREE CONSULTATION. To Judge my ability without per sonal consultation may be an in justice to yourself that will cost a lifetime of suffering. Consultation is 'free and confidential and you place yourself under no obligation to me whatever by coming to talk with me about your case. SPECIFIC BLOOD POISON. Others dose the system with min eral poisons scarcely less danger ous than the disease itself. The best they hope to do by this treat ment is to keep the disease from manifesting its presence upon the surface of the body. Under my treatment the entire system is cleansed. The last taint of virus is destroyed. Every symptom van ishes to appear no more. I employ harmless, blood - cleansing remedies heretofore unknown in the treat ment of this disease. They cure by neutralizing and absolutely de stroying the poison in the system. Such cures cannot be other than complete and permanent. STRICTURE. My treatment for stricture re moves the necessity for surgical operations even in severe cases of long standing. I do no cutting nor dieting. No other physician em ploys my methods of overcoming thip disorder, so the service I offer you is original and distinctive. Do not give up hope because others have failed. I will cure you and the cure will be a prompt and pain less one. My treatment dissolves the stricture, subdues all inflam mation, relieves all irritation or congestion that may exist in the kidneys or bladder, reduces en largement of the prostate gland and restores health and tone in all or gans affected by. the disease. All medicines are prepared in my own private laboratory and are ab solutely fresh and pure. N MY FEE IS $io In Any Uncomplicated Disorder CONTRACTED DISORDERS. To but partially cure a contract ed disease Is almost an dangerous as to allow it to go untreated. Un less every particle of infection and Inflammation is removed the proba bility exist3 that the disease will gradually work its way into the general system. Still greater is the danger of the prostate gland be coming chronically inflamed, which always brings partial or complete loss of , power. Perhaps 25 per cent of the cases of so-called "weakness" are a direct result of some im- 6roperly treated contracted disease, urir.g the past five years I have treated thousands of cases of con tracted disorders and have effected an absolutely thorough and safe cure in each Instance.
