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

Hetty Green Abandons Plaza After
Period of Luxury.
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.

on taking the stand today she de
clared the attack was merely spiritual

might be hanged and rise on the third

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.

thing. They struggle aimlessly along, sooner or later to become victims of that dread disease, nervous debil
ity; their finer sensibilities blunted and their nerves shattered. . .
. Men suffer week in and month out because they know no better. Diseases of a private nature make them
backward to tell of their condition. They many times take their case to those who have not had the necessary

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.

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.

This well-known and reliable curative institution is a permanent fixture of Portland. It has stood the
test of time and will continue to stand as a Mecca of hope for afflicted men hereabouts. From time to time
it has been remodeled in all its departments, which are thoroughly equipped with every scientific instrument,
apparatus and device essential to our modern methods of specialty practice. Its financial responsibility is
as solid as gold, while the treatment it administers, as legions of its cured patients know, is skillful, scien
tific and successful. We invite all afflicted men who really desire a cure to inspect our offices, and to hon
estly investigate us. A private consultation, a careful personal examination, together with a scientific and
honest opinion of your case, will cost you nothing; and a perfect cure, if you decide to take it, will not b

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.

Is shown from the fact that on this

also gained eight pounds in weight,

that my case was a hopeless one

calls the miraculous cures of bygone agea
He was a brakemen on the Northern Pa
cific railroad, and was attacked by rheu
matism last February. 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.

"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.
