Newspaper Page Texts THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, JUNE 28, 1903. MANDUFIA IS LUST OF SEASON FLEET British Steamship Will Clear With Full Grain Cargo on Last Day of June. HEAVY EXPORTS FOR MONTH .'losing 30 Days of Cereal Year Will Set' Afloat From Portland Up wards of 600,000 Bushels. Steam Tonnage In Demand. The British steamship Mandura, iTaptaln Cobb, will be the last grain ressel to clear from Portland during the fiscal year, which will end June 10. The Mandura Is loading a full ;argo of wheat for the United Klng lom and her master says that he will tlear on the last day of the year. The Mandura is being loaded by Kerr. Gif ford & Co. The Mandura will carry in excess of 200,000 bushels of wheat and will bring the exports up to a good figure for the. last month of the cereal year. So far, the foreign exports of grain amount to 50,801 barrels of flour and 213,034 bushels of wheat. Reducing the flour to a wheat basis and adding the cargo of the Mandura the foreign grain exports will total approximately 652,200 bushels. These figures are greatly in execess of the figures for the corresponding period of the pre vious year. There has been an active demand for steam tonnage for wheat of late, but owners are holding rates far too high. During the season Just ending there has been a large number of steamers engaged in the wheat trade and shippers looked for an increase in numbers during the season of 1908-09, but rates are at present pro hibitory. The Mandura was one of the fleet of colliers which came through the Straits of Magellan with coal for the fleet. The Mandura was held in the harbor at San Francisco 52 days be fore she was permitted to discharge her cargo. On arrival at Portland her bottom was foul and she went on dry dock for cleaning and painting. On the outward voyage she will take coal at Coronel and again at Montevideo. STATE OF CALIFORNIA SAILS Steamship Carries Large Passenger List and Full Cargo of Freight. The steamship State of California sailed for San Francisco yesterday morning with 333 passengers and a full cargo of freight. The passengers were divided, 232 first class and 101 steerage. This was practically all that the vessel could accommodate. Freight business has increased to such an ex tent that the steam schooners Yellow atone and Shoshone have been char tered to carry merchandise South. There was an unconfirmed rumor on the front yesterday to the effect that the steamship State of California would be replaced on the Portland-San Francisco run by the steamship Queen. The latter vessel is on the San Francisco-Seattle run. She is larger than the State and has accommodations for a larger number of passengers. The .addition of the steamship Queen to the fleet of the San Francisco & Port land Steamship Company will be ap preciated by the merchants of Port land, as they will be given faster serv ice between the two ports. TOWBOAT SHAVER IS LAUNCHED Vessel Slides From Ways at Port land Shipyards. The new towboat Shaver was suc cessfully launched from the ways at the Portland Shipbuilding Company yesterday morning at 10 o'clock. The ceremony was attended by a large number of steamboatmen and every thing went off without a hitch. The steamers Sarah Dixon and Wauna stood by, but their services were not necessary. The Shaver is 155 feet in length, 30 feet beam and 6 feet depth of hold. She is equipped with the machinery taken from the steamer J. M. Hanna ford, recently dismantled on the Upper Columbia. The engines are old, but powerful. STEAMSHIP AGENTS TO MEET Rates on Wheat and Flour Will Probably Be Raised $1 Ton. Agents of steamship lines operating from Pacific Coast ports to the Orient will meet this week in San Francisco. The object of the meeting will be to revise the rates now in effect on wheat and flour shipments to Japan and China. During the past six months there has been a decided cut in regu lar rates. This action on the part of the regular lines was taken in order to force the Jcbsen-Ostrander Com pany from the field. The latter firm is still in business, however, and recently bid on a Gov ernment contract to deliver freight for the Government to Guam, Hono lulu and Manila for $3.50 a ton. The former rate was $8. At the meeting to be held in San Francisco it is thought that it will be voted to raise the present rates $1 a ton. Gasoline Launch for Alaskan Waters ASTORIA, Or., June 27. (Special.) The official measurement of the gasoline launch Irene Barnes, recently built by R. M. Leathers, of this city, for Frank C. Barnes, of Portland, was completed by the customs authorities today. The dimensions of the craft are as follows: Length, 46.3 feet; beam, 12.3 feet; depth, 2.6 feet; ton nage, 14 tons gross, 10 tons net. The launch is equipped with a 35-horse-power Troyer-Fox gasoline engine and will be used as a cannery tender in Alaskan waters. Madison Bridge to Close for Repairs Between the hours of midnight to night and 6 o'clock Monday morning the Madison-street bridge will be Im passable to streetcars and pedestrians. The draw will be swung open at 12 o'clock and will remain in that posi tion until minor repairs to the ma chinery have been completed. Evle Secured for Deep-Sea Fishing. ASTORIA, Or.. June 27. (Special.) Arrangements are being made to fit up the gasoline schooner Evle as soon she 'returns from her present trip down the coast for a deep-sea fishing cruise ofT the mouth of the river. She is to be provided with additional bal last and equipped with the large trawls, so that the work can be car ried on in a proper manner. The ex periments so far in this Industry have been sufficiently successful to show that this class of fishing can be made a financial success. Marine Notes. The German ship Asgerd was shifted to the foot of Madison street yester day. The schooner Oliver J. Olson,, wheat laden for San Pedro, left down yester day.. The .steamship Homer sailed for San Francisco yesterday with a general cargo. The steamer T. J. Potter left for Megler yesterday afternoon on the first Saturday excursion of the season.

Ryan, managing director of the Amal gamated Copper Company, and John G. Marony, president of the Daly Bank & Trust Company, of Butte, and of the First National Bank, of Great Falls, are the heaviest stockholders in the company that purchased the Great Falls Water Power & Townslte Company, tha sale of which by J. J. Hill and associates to John D. Ryan and others for $1,500,000 was an nounced last night. The purchasers deny that the Amal gamated Copper Company has any inter est in the deal. It is probable that an Immense electric generating plant will be constructed at the "Big" falls. Metzger fits glasses for $1.00. from the office of Adjutant-General W. E. Finzer. As shown by this order 70 Astoria young men are now on the roll in readiness for mustering into the service. This action is the result of the con ference of Coast Adjutant-Generals with the War Department last Winter. At the time relations with Japan were very much strained, the War Department sent for the Adjutant-Generals of Oregon, Washington and California. The result of the conference, which was held at Washington, D. C, was that organization of Coast artillery companies was ordered in all three states. Congress Makes Way Clear. At the time the one obstacle was proper adjustment of the new troops, but this was obviated when Congress lately passed a bill making it incumbent upon the Government to furnish all National Guard troops with full equipment. . General Robert Shaw Oliver. Acting Secretary of War, immediately upon the passage of that law, communicated with General Flazer regarding the raising of a Coast artillery company here. General Finzer had already arranged for the com pany at Astoria and with the co-operation of C. H. Abercrombie, City Attorney at Astoria, easily secured the required membership. The mustering order follows:. Order for New Troops. GENERAL ORDERS NO. 10 Headquarters Oregon National Guard, Adjutant General's Office. Portland Or . June 27, 1808: 1. C. H. Abercrombie and 89 other citi zens of Astoria, Or., subject to military duty, having made application to be or ganized Into" a military company under the laws and regulations of the Oregon National Guard, they are directed to assemble In Astoria. Or., Monday, July 6. 1DOS at 8 o'clock P. M. for physical examination. All applicants for enlistment having success fully passed the physical examination will be mustered into the service of the state 2. Captain Marius B. Marcellus, Assist ant Surgeon, will proceed to Astoria on the date and be present at the hour specified in paragraph one in order to conduct the physical examination of all applicants for enlistment Into the service of the state. The expense Incurred is necessary In the mili tary service. Holman Mustering Officer. 3. First Lieutenant Richard W. Holman, Third Infantry, is designated as mustering officer and will proceed to Astoria. Or.. Monday, July 6, 190S. The expense incurred is necessary in the military service. 4. This organization will be known as First Company Coast Artillery Corps, and will be mustered In Thursday, July 9, 190S, at 6:30 o'clock P. M. 5. Immediately upon completion of mus ter in. an election for Captain will be held. First Lieutenant Richard W. Holman, Third Infantry, is hereby designated as inspector of election. By order of the Commander-in-Chief, W. B. FINZER. Adjutant-General. First Company on Coast. The new company will be the very first organized on the Pacific Coast, although Washington and California are to take similar action at an early date. With the difficulty encountered in securing regulars to occupy Coast garrisons, the value of the National Guard Coast artil lerymen is apparent. Pallas was made the station of an in fantry company Wednesday night, when General Finzer mustered in 80 men at that place. C. D. Chorpening was elected captain. The company will be equipped at once out of Government supplies. New Springfield rifles, khaki and blue uni forms and full equipage is now en route for the new troops from the Quartermas ter's department at Washington, D. C. Other troops are to be organized from time to time. The Government is favor ing the mustering in of new guard troops and Oregon is assured of at least five more companies of infantry and possibly a troop of cavalry. Later the two Ore gon regiments will be brigaded. CLIMB MOUNT ST. HELENS PLANS OF MAZAMAS FOR AXSC Ali OCTIXG. Party Will Leave Portland July 31 and Camp Will Be Located on Spirit Luke. Arrangements are being completed for the annual outing of the Mazamas to Mount St. Helens, July 31 to August 13. The camp is to be located at Spirit Lake, at the north base of the moun tain. The decision to establish the camp at this point has been received with approval by all the members of the club, as it will afford excellent op portunity for fishing and boating. In addition to climbing the moun tain, trips are to be made to the 'famous lava beds In the vicinity. The ascent of Mount St. Helens is known to be the shortest and least difficult of any of the snowpeaks. The compara tively short distance from Portland will also undoubtedly induce" a larger number of mountain-climbers to join the party than has done so heretofore. An excellent wagon road has recently been completed to the camping place, so that the trip from Toutle River bridge will be a relatively easy one. Among those who have signified their intention of accompanying the party are: Herbert W. Gleason, of Boston, Mass., lecturer and photog rapher, and Dr. C. Barck, of St. Louis. ' The main party will leave Portland, Friday, July 31, at 2 P. M., and arrive at Castle Rock, Wash., at 4:15 P. M. All members of the party will remain there over night. They will leave Castle Rock at 6 A. M. the following morning on the east-bound train on the Silver Lake Railway. Toutle River bridge will be reached at 6 o'clock Saturday night. August 1, where a temporary camp will be es tablished. On the following morning the party will make an early start and arrive at the permanent camp at Spirit Lake before night. The outing committee, under whose direction the trip is to be made, is composed of the following: E. V. Shel don. L. J. Hicks, M. W. Gorman, Anna Rankin, Eleanor Gile, Portland; C. E. Forsythe, Castle Rock; Ella McBride, Seattle. Credit Men Close Session. DENVER, Colo., June 27.

TAYLOR, TO MALE READERS OF THIS PAPER A few months ago a man came to my 'of fices and told a story of his experiences which is so typical of what the average patient goes through before coming to me that I wish every man eould read it. In the first place, this man was of strong and healthy appearance, and began by telling ' me he was never sick in bed for a single day as far back as he could remember. His symp toms were lack of ambition, vim, energy and power to concentrate his mind. He felt con scious of a state ot physical imperfection, TBe iaatns specialist, which embarrassed him and made him feel unfit to enjoy society, and, as he expressed it, he was "played out all over." CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE Questioning him as to what he thought caused his trouble, he ad mitted excesses in early life, and confessed to a slight disorder con tracted some five years past. By advice of well-meaning friends, he tried prescriptions, which helped to a certain point, but failed to go beyond that. His next step was to consult a doctor, and he sought out one with a large general practice and good reputation. The doctor cheered him with the assurance that he would undertake the treat ment of his case, asked him a few questions and prescribed medicine, both for local and internal use. For the first few weeks he improved so much that he discontinued his visits to the doctor to stop the drain on his purse. A little later he had a relapse, which was very discouraging, especially as he felt the weakness coming on, which caused pains in the back, sleeplessness and general lassitude. He sought help from a specialist for disorders like his own, but soon realized that he was in incompetent hands. The specialist, who had been in business but a short time, closed his offices and went away. Following this, the sufferer was attracted by the claims of a doctor who told him that he must get next to Nature, and that Nature was sewed up just inside of his electric belt. It cos! him about $100 to find out that electricity would not help a bit. In a very skeptical and hopeless frame of mind, this man came to me. I examined him in a manner that he admitted he was never examined before. I found the exact cause of the whole trouble, ex plained it fully to him, together with my plan of treatment, and guar anteed him a perfect and permanent cure, and offered to let him PAY WHEN CURED. Last week he said he felt as good, souud and healthy, as strong in vigor, as he ever had in his life.
