8 THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, JUNE 14, 1903. CREST OF FL IS NOT IN SIGHT Warmer Weather Looked For in British Columbia and Eastern Washington. WATER IS RISING STEADILY Both I'pper Columbia and Snake Rivers Have Passed Flood Stage and Willamette Is Backing T7p Fast Xews of Waterfront. Local Forecaster Lodholz issued a bulletin yesterday, in wJiich he pre dicted a 19.4-foot stags in the Willam ette River for this morning and a rise of .4 of a foot during the next 24 hours. The crest of the flood is not in sight and the water Is Bteadlly rising at Wenatchee, although the rise is not as rapid as during the past week. Temperatures have been low over the British Columbia territory during the past three days and as a result there has not been the rapid melting of snows. A period of excessive heat la due at Kamloops and an additional supply of wattT is looked for by the Weather Bureau." Tie continued warm weather in Oregon and Washington has caused what snow there was n the mountains to melt rapidly and there has been a large amount of water added to the Columbia. At Lewlston there Is a steady rise of about six inches a day. which is largely due to the warm weather. No report was reeclved from The Dalles, but the water was rising both above and below that point. At Vancouver the Columbia la two and one-half feet above the flood stage. The rise yesterday at Portland was .8 of a foot. All the lower docks in the city are now covered. The Oregon & California Coast Steamship Company was forced to move to the Greenwich dock and the steamship Alliance sailed from that place last night. Water front men do not look for a cessation of the "flood until after a 24-foot stage has been reached. M.IXDIRA DUE AT PORTXiAND British Steamship Will Carry Grain to Oriental Ports. The British steamship Mandura, under charter to Balfour, Guthrie & Co., to load wheat and flour for Ori ental ports, sailed from San Francisco for the Columbia River Friday evening and is due here tomorrow. The load ing of the tramp vessel will add greatly to the foreign export business for the month of June for Portland and will bring the figures for the month to well past the half-million-bushel mark. The Mandura is a British craft of 2903 net tons burden and has been op erating on the Coast as a collier. She has a large carrying capacity for grain. STEAMSHIP TAKES FCMi IX) AD State of California Ioaves for San Francisco With Record Cargo. The steamship State of California sailed for San Francisco yesterday morning with a full list of passengers and all the freight she could possibly stow. It Is the heaviest cargo which the State has carried since she has been In service for the San Francisco & Portland Steamship Company. Freight business has increased great ly of late and the company has been forced to charter two steam schooners for the purpose of helping out on the southbound freight. Portland shippers have been endeavoring to have the Company put on an additional steam ship, but without avail. Seamen's Concert a Success. z The concert given last week at the Sea men's Institute (American Episcopal), Front and Flanders streets, was of a high-class character. All the performers acquitted themselves admirably, and the chorus singing of the Woman's Club of Portland was very effective, Mrs. Nina Larowe's readings being also remarkably good. The programme was arranged by Mrs. Emily Uampson. Mrs. J. S. Hamil ton and Mrs. Percy Walton, accompanist, who were assisted by Mrs. F. M. Branch, Mrs. A. O. Rlddell, Mrs. A. B. Price and Mrs. G. M.

NEW YORK, June 13. After a brief stay at the Plaza, Mrs. Hettie Green, who is reputed to be the richest woman in the world, accompanied by her daugh ter, in whose behalf it was stated she consented. to leave cer modest apartment 1 in Hoboken, paid her bill and left the hotel without saying where she was go ing. It came as a surprise some weeks ago when It was learned that Mrs. Green was occupying one of the most expensive suites the Plaza has to offer. It was on the second floor, and commanded a fine view of Central Park. During her stay she entertained her friends at several dinner parties. She never neglected her business af fairs, however, and for a time when it became known she was at the Plaza, she was besieged by impecunious persons clamoring for assistance. Then she got annoyed and threatened to leave the hotel. WOMAN ACCUSES PROPHET Says Self-Styled Elijah Assaulted Her, but Recants. CHICAGO, June 13. A dispatch to the Tribune from Fort Smith, Arji., says: Elijah Skaggs, who claims to be the reincarnation of Elijah the Prophet, sent here as the vicarious atonement for those who do not believe in Christ, was put on trial yesterday on a charge of attack on Mrs. Margaret Irene Tay lor, of Dallas, Texas, a disciple.

She offered to get a rope if the people would hang him there and then. Cross examination did not shake her story. She was arrested for per jury, and Is in the county jail. Skaggs declared he was guilty in his heart and was ready to hang, but would plead not guilty because he was not to be hanged and did not wish to go to the penitentiary. RECALL! RECALL! Give Us the Recall to Head Off the Democratic Steer. PORTLAND, June 11. CTo the Editor.) The editorial suggestion in this morn ing's Oregonian, that the recall be in voked on every Republican member of the Legislature who has taken Statement No. 1, is a center shot. It goes to the root of all this confusion, delusion, fraud and humbuggery Involved In that political "Joker." Everybody that knows any thing about the recent campaign knows that thousands of Democrats registered as Republicans that they might vote against Senator Fulton atthe primaries, and vote for a Republican for Senator that Governor Chamberlain could defeat. To say that a Senator selected by means of such a fraud represents the people of Oregon, is to repudiate every principle of honesty and honor in party politics and destroy the very foundations of re sponsibility for good government and of ficial conduct. The old-time Republicans had what they termed the "rugged issues," and they stood by their principles until the party was welded at white heat into the most tremendous force the Nation ever possessed. The life of the party .in Ore gon is now at stake. The "rugged Issue" now is, shall we have a Republican party with definite principles and responsible action, or shall we disband at the de mands of the Democratic minority? With Statement No. 1 in the primary law, there is no escaping this issue. The trick that has been played on the Senatorial ques tion can be played again, not only by the Democratic opposition, but also by every selfish or mercenary power seeking to ad vance its interests by means of corrupt party politics. The time to fight Is now. The means to fight with is the recall. Let there be no dodging the rugged issue. If the Republican state committee will not take up this question, let a Republican league be organized for the purpose of fighting this issue to the bitter end. The recall can be Invoked against holdover Senators Kay, Miller, Bingham. Mulit, Johnson, Caldwell, Hedges and Smith, be fore the meeting of the next Legislature, and within five days after, the Legisla ture meets It can be invoked against all the rest of the Statement No. 1 Legisla tors. The Democrats will, of course, vote to keep the Statement Republicans In of fice. But what of it? It is better to know the worst now than to go through the farce of another Statement No. 1 election hereafter. JOSEPH GASTON. Dey Don't No Roses Grow.

LAND HOGS DELAY KLAMATH PROJECT Holding of Lands for Fancy Prices Retards Great Irrigation Work. SPECULATORS IN ARREARS Default in Payments to Government, Necessitating Suits to Compel Conformity to Obli gation. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Washington, Juno 13. The completion of the Klamath Irrigation project In Southern Oregon is being delayed by the unfortunate attitude of large land owners, who are holding their prop erty for speculative purposes, thereby retarding development. Just how long this delay will continue depends en tirely upon these same landowners. The situation at Klamath is unique, for this Is the only Government project In the West that Is largely held In the grasp of speculators; the only one where lands are not cultivated as soon as water Is made available. Because of the utter lack of co-operation be tween landowners and the Government, money in the reclamation fund Is being diverted elsewhere money that could and would go to Klamath If the people shewed the right spirit. Progressing but Slowly. Construction at Klamath Is going ahead. It is true, and It will continue to progress until the entire project is completed, but the expenditures are being made comparatively slowly, be cause speculators control a large part of the land ultimately to be reclaimed, and because these speculators are not only refusing to sell their large hold ings, but are actually preventing the use of a large part of their lands, even when water is available. So adverse is this spirit that of ficials of the Reclamation Service do not hesitate to say that were the field open again, and they had a choice to make, they would not undertake the Klamath project at all, but would spend their money elsewhere, In localities where the landowners are willing to cultivate as soon as they can get water. Last season the Government was prepared to deliver water for approxi mately 20,000 acres' of land under the Klamath project. Much of the land for which water was available was In the hands of speculators, and much of it was held In tracts exceeding 160 acres In area. Yet with all this water available, only 8000 acres, In round numbers, were placed under Irrigation, the majority of the land being allowed to lie Idle. Speculators Must Yield. intimately speculative owners will be compelled to subdivide their hold ings. In excess of 160 acres, for the reclamation law prohibits any owner holding more than this amount of lard under any one project. ' But the Gov ernment Is not yet ready to force the subdivision of this land, though, under the law, it could do so by going Into court. It Is hoped that the large land owners, realizing that they are up against the law, will voluntarily dis pose of their surplus lands in the near future, thus avoiding the necessity of resort to law. Should they fail In this, however, the Interior Department will place the matter in the hands of the 291 Department of Justice, where compli ance with the law will be required. Clamor for Large Allotments. From the Government viewpoint; it is most unfortunate that the Klamath country should have been -gobbled up by speculators, for speculators are re tarding settlement, and when settle ment is not possible, water goes to waste, the country fails to develop, and the project as a whole suffers, along with the community. The specu lators, however, are the very men who are behind the clamor for larger allot ments, and are the men most anxious for the early completion of the project. The more land that is reclaimed in the neighborhood of their holdings, the better price they expect to receive. Yet every time the speculators boost the price of their holdings, intending buyers move on to some other project where land can be had for more rea sonable terms, and where a better com munity spirit prevails. Government officials do not hesitate to declare that speculators are the curso of the Kla math project. Payments Xot Kept Up. Under the law, land-owners under a Government project are required to pay for water as it is turned onto their holdings; these pay ments are due In ten annual Installments. Yet there are a number of speculative owners on the Klamath project, to whom water was delivered last season, who have refused to make their first payment, and it has been nec essary for the Interior Department to request the Department of Justice to institute suits to compel these pay ments. The speculators declare they have not used the water; therefore they will not pay for It. Law Is Violated. The law makes no provision for such men; it assumes that every land-holder on a Government project will be ready and anxious to utilize the water as soon as it is available and that is the case everywhere else but at Klamath. Under the terms of the National reclamation act, as construed by the Department, the Government can compel speculators and all other land-owners to pay for their water as delivered, regardless of whether It is used or allowed to go to waste. One reason- for so framing the law was to make it expensive for spec ulators to hold lands under Government projects. If the Government wins its suits, as it expects to do, the specu lators at Klamath will be compelled to pay for water as it is delivered to them. WORRY AND DISCONTENT Rev. C E. Cllne Gives Definitions of These Two Phrases. PORTLAND, June 13. (To the Editor.) D. K, Hawkins expresses surprise that the term "worry" should be employed where "discontent" would serve the pur pose better. Very well, let us see: Parties under took to build a magnificent arch at the Union Depot for the Rose Festival, but seemingly somebody did not work up enough "discontent" over Its completion, and when the Rose Festival came, there the arch stood with the staging about it, half finished. If the officers of the late Title Guaran tee & Trust Company's bank had worked up enough '"discontent" over the safety of their depositors' money, they would no doubt have saved themselves the pitiable plight in which they now find themselves. If brothers Nottingham, Selling, Bar rett, et al.. had been discontented, a little at the right time over being voted Into the Democratic party by Statement No. 1, they would not probably now be won dering whether they ought to sweat or otherwise. "Worry," does not mean necessarily a morbid, helpless, hopeless state of mind, begetting despair and suicide. The lack of it produces this last stage. "Worry" Is foresight, care, solicitude and effort lest matters may not come out right, anxiety, with a purpose to prevent things going wrong. A good railroad president worries "to beat the band." This is why he gets more pay than the section hand, who, without worry, tamps rocks under the ties eight hours a day. Morrison St., Bet.

CUT WAGES OF SEAMEN Shipowners' Association of Pacific May Make General Reduction. SAN FRANCISCO, June 13. A well defined rumor along the waterfront to day was to the effect that a conference of the members of the Shipowners As sociation of the Pacific is soon to be held at which a lower scale of wages to be paid to all sailors and stevedores and longshoremen will be formulated and later presented to the unions to which the men afloat and shore belong. The low rates for handling lumber and other freight on the coast is given as the reason for the move. Diligent inquiry among members of the association and of its officials, however, has failed to bring any substantiation of the rumor. Chicago Malt House Burns. CHICAGO, June 13.

If you go to those who have no standing professionally, HOW CAN YOU EXPECT TO BE CURED? This institution has built up its splendid practice more by the free adver tising given it by its PERFECTLY SATISFIELD PATIENTS, who have received the benefit of its modern, scientific and legitimate methods, than in any other way. If yon are not a perfect man come to ns. Isn't it worth the little time it will take when you are CERTAIN that you will have the benefit of HONEST, SINCERE physicians? A con sultation costs you nothing EXCEPT your own time. Our m Fee lOoO This well-known and reliable curative institution is a permanent fixture of Portland.

We cure all special diseases of men. WHY WE CUBE where others fail: Our methods are up to date. We thoroughly understand our busi ness and apply our knowledge and skill on every case we undertake. We fulfill our promises and never accept a case unless we believe we can cure it. We study the peculiar nature of every individual case and treat the causes, not symptoms. We teach our patients how to help get well what to eat and drink during the course of treatment and what to avoid. As to terms : Our large practice enables us to cure for less money than the average so-called specialists and you see the results before you are required to pay us. Honest, conscientious work speaks for itself. Pretenders, jealous of our success, try to belittle us because our fee is small, but intelligent men are not influenced by their arguments. We ask any man suffering from any disease we treat to call and 6ee us. Many cases supposedly incurable are often the result of poor treatment, and the case is cured when methods such as we employ are directed toward the cause, and with care and proper at tention to your case now your health may be prolonged indefinitely. This alone should be incentive enough to induce you to try once more, no matter who has failed to cure you in the past. WRITE IF YOU CANNOT CALL. Office Hours, 9 A. M. to 8:30 P.

State of Washington, County of . Spokane, as. I, David B. Dickerson, being first duly sworn, on oath depose and say that on September 3, 1906, I was carried from my home at Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, to the North ern Pacific depot and taken to Spo kane, where I was carried on a stretcher to the Hotel Pedlcord. I had been In this helpless condition for six months. My Improvement Is shown from the fact that on this day I walked 49 blocks without ex periencing any difficulty from my heart from this exercise. I have also gained eight pounds in weight, this, too, after the doctors told me that my case was a hopeless one and that Just a few steps were liable to be fatal. I can now walk, run, eat and sleep, all of which I had trouble with before commenc ing treatment with Professor J. Austin Larson, at the Hotel Spo kane, Spokane, Wash. Dated this 18th day of October, 1906. DAVID B. DICKERSON. Subscribed and sworn to before me this 18th day' of October, 1906. (Seal) O. B. SETTERS, Notary Public in and for the State of Washington, Residing at Spo kane, Washington. Raising a boy 20 years of age, stricken with rheumatism, given up to die, whose ailment baffled the skill of the doctors of the Northern Pacific Railway at Mis soula, Mont. ; taking him when he was un able to move himself In his bed treating lilm carefully day by day and finally making It possible for this same lad to walk 49 blocks without any difficulty; making it possible for hjm to gain eight pounds in weight and making It possible for him to walk, run, eat and sleep the same as any normal boy of 20 years. Is substantially the history of the case of David B. Dickerson, of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, and the almost miraculous results that have been effected by Teleconi as originated and practiced by James Austin Larson. There are doubting Thomases even In this day and age; there are those who sneer at advertising doctors; there are those who persist in disbelieving; there are those who will not believe even though the same miracle had been per formed upon themselves. That James Austin Larson has not misrepresented facts; that David B. Dickerson is now what he has not been for several months, is evidenced beyond quibble by the ac companying affidavit, subscribed and sworn- to before O. B. Setters, a Notary Public of Spokane.

A regular phy sician attended him without results. He was then sent to the Northern Paciflo Hospital at Missoula; taken there on a stretcher, where he remained until June 27, without any appreciable advance to ward recovery or even relief. High fever set In, abnormal pulse and organic heart trouble. His wrists, elbows, knees and ankles commenced to swell. He was un able to move. Further alarming was the fact that his heart commenced to miss beats, tending toward rheumatism of the heart. - Other symptoms set in. The company's hos pital staff was mystified, as their patient 6teadily grew worse. Finally the boy was removed to the Sacred Heart Hospital in Spokane. Nothing was done for him there that produced any beneficial results, and he was removed to his home June 30, at Coeur d'Alene. There he was re examined. At this time his legs and body becama numb, and he could scarcely move them. He could not 6tand up, and was obliged to spend all of his time in bed. The dis tracted mother beseech ed James Austin Larson to help him, and the originator of Teleconi said that he would if he could see the boy. He was taken out to the houseboat where the family lived, and Mr. Larson urged that he be taken to Spokane, where treatments could be more satisfactorily given to him. He was removed to the Hotel Pedicord, carried from the train to the 'bus, from the 'bus to his room and laid tenderly upon his bed. After the first treatment James Aus tin Larson commanded the young man to stand upon his feet. Surprised, but with courage, he attempted it and walked across the room with no bad effect. He was weak, but better. From that day to the present, David B. Dickerson has been a living example of the triumph of Tele coni, and is now able to perform all the functions of a normal young man of 20 years. Those who knew him are sur prised beyond expression at the rapidity with which he recovered his normal con dition. Dickerson himself is overjoyed with delight, and his mother cannot find words expressive enough of her gratitude to the originator of Teleconi for restoring to her the comfort, care and attention of the support of her advancing years. James Austin I .arson was right. His confidence in Teleconi, which he had orig inated, was unlimited; he was as firmly convinced of his ability to cure Dicker son then, as he Is certain now that he has cured him. Ask Dickerson; ask his mother; ask his friends and associates, his fellow-workmen, of anybody who knows anything about the Dickerson case, and the answer in each instance will be similar: "Marvelous," "Wonderful," IMPORTANT Those who desire to take a full course of treatment In Teleconi must enroll at once or within the next few days at least. The list is almost completed and the time that James Austin Larson will give to Portland is limited. F. G. EPT0N, Secretary. "Can't understand It," "Strange, but true." The fact of the matter is. nobody can understand it until he himself, suffer ing, bed-ridden, left to die, is raised from hopelessness to the realization that he Is well. Then, while he may not be able to understand it, he Is able to realize the benefit and pleasure of restored health. 214 - 215 - 216 oregon hotel TO 5; 7 TO 8. NO SUNDAY HOURS cott, Somervllle, N.
