TIIE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND. AUGUST 30. 190S. MAG D ALA SAILS FROM NEWCASTLE British Steamship Placed on List of Vessels Bound for Columbia River. TOOK COAL TO AUCKLAND Charters Have Been Slow for Some Time, Owing to Large Amount . of Tonnage for Sep tember loading. Merchants" Exchange reports received yesterday announce the sailing from New castle. N. 8. W.. of the British steamship Magdala for the Columbia River. The steamer arrived out at Auckland from Newport News July 36 with coal for the fleet. It la understood that she has been chartered by ar local exporting: firm to carry wheat from Portland to Europe, October loading. The steamer had not been placed on the list of vessels en route for any of the Pacific Coast ports prior to the announcement of her sailing from Newcastle. Charters have been slow of late, owing to the large amount of tonnage on the list for September and October loading. With the number of steamers and sailing craft In sight for September dispatch, the ca pacity of the railroads will be taxed to Che limit to make deliveries. For next month's foreign exports there Is more tham 2,000.000 bushels of wheat necessary. Dispatch will be given all craft regard less of canceling date or lay days. As soon as a vessel arrives she will be dis charged and loaded In order to make room for another. sary to remove a quantity of freight from between decks and to erect sandees. Steamer Lurline Takes First Prize. Captain McCully and officers of the steamer Lurline were highly elated yester day morning on the arrival of the steamer at Portland. The cause of the Joy on board was the fact that the vessel took the 50 price (first) at the Astoria regatta for the best decorated steamer to enter the port during the period of festivities.

M....16 feet Chairman Thomas Hopes to Increase Campaign Fund at Gathering Tomorrow Xight at Odd fellows' nail. Taking advantage of the Inactivity of the Republicans, the Democrats are re doubling their efforts, particularly in Multnomah County, to arouse enthusiasm for their Presidential nominees. State Chairman Sweek and National Commit teeman Miller are attending to organiza tion work throughout the state, while George H. Thomas, chairman of the Dem ocratic organization In this county. Is working overtime to capture the voters of this Republican stronghold. The first of a series of "get-together-and-get-acqualnted" meetings will he held tomorrow night at Oddfellows Hall. East Stark street and Grand avenue. The purpose of these gatherings is not so much for a discussion of the political Is sues, explains Mr. Thomas, as It Is to acquaint the newcomers with the older warhorses of the party in the Interest of a united pull for Bryan and Kern. At the meeting tomorrow night addresses will be delivered by E. S. J. McAllister, one of the Democratic Presidential elec tors; State Senator M. A. Miller. Na tional committeeman, and Bert E. Haney. ex-Deputy District Attorney. It is not announced that a hat will be passed, but those disposed to contribute 25 cents, or a larger .amount, no limit has been fixed, will be accommodated. All such donations will be added to the campaign fund. They will be thank fully received and expended In the In terest of Democratic success In this state. Not only will frequent meetings be held in different parts of the city during the next two months, but through en ergetic precinct committeemen, a house-to-house canvass is being conducted. This go-and-see-them programme also serves two purposes the voters are being class ified politically and every Democrat Is being asked to contribute something to the campaign fund. One committeeman yesterday reported at headquarters with $14.60, which had been collected In his precinct In amounts of 25 and 60 cents. I do not like to appear over-hopeful and make any rash predictions," said Mr. Thomas yesterday, "but there really Is more Bryan talk right now than there was Chamberlain talk at any time In either of his campaigns for Governor or for Senator. I consider this of great significance and indicative of a heavy vote for Bryan In November." CHILD LABOR AND STATE A Claim That Society Must Be Co Guardlan With the Parent. SHELTON, Wash., Aug. 28. (To the Editor.) Whenever objection Is raised to any manifest injustice in human society one of the first replies made Is that its abatement -would Involve the destruction of some cherished Institu tion of society, if not of the entire fabric of civilization. Freedom of re ligious thought was met. by the asser tion that It was essential treason for a subject to think on that subject dif ferently from his king. The demand RAILROAD MONOPOLIES RETARD DEVELOPMENT OF UNSETTLED PORTIONS OF STATE OF OREGON Oregon Development League Resolutions Adopted at Marshfleld Declare for Breaking Up of These Monopolies. MARSHFIELD, Or., Aug. 29. (Spe cial.) The following Is the full text of the resolutions paesed by the Western Oregon Development Con gress, held at Marshfleld, August 25: ' State Retarded by Monopolies. This Congress recognizee the fact that our State aa a whole la suffering from an enormous concentration of monopolies that control the entire railroad system of Oregon, that block ths settlement of the 6tate with enormous holdings of land grants, and prevent the natural development and utilization of our water powers and we further recognise In these monopollea the greatest obstacle to the rapid filling up of the unsettled-portions of Oregon and par ticularly the southwestern, southern and eastern portions, with the tides of Immi gration that are cominr to the Pacific Coast, and we realize that our utmost en deavors must be put forward to breaking up of these monopolies and preventing the further exploitation of our commonwealth by inactive capital which bears no share of the burden of development. IVrmaoent Highway FonVy Advocated. Resolved. That we favor entering; upon an active policy of highway construction tv the co-operation of the state and the counties In the construction of a system of state hlKhaaya. In addition to thla a aya tem of local highways must be constructed in each county with state aid, such high ways radiating from the county eeat to the undeveloped but nlRhly productive outlying; reBlona To this end we recommend that county and road district taxes be levied so as to Include a proper assessed valuation of the larire nonresident tlmberland holdings and land grants, together with an assess ment of their timber upon a etumpage basis to asalet in the construction of such per manent highways through the thinly settled and undeveloped portions of our state. Encourage Electric Roads. This Congress, speaking for the people of -Western Oregon recommends the encourage ment of electric rallroada by every poaslble means. We recognize them as the most potent factors for substantial development, and the most efficient means of brtngtng about the cutting up of large ranches Into small fruit and dairy farms, thus enabling a large number of people to buy and own ilttle homes, becoming eelf-supporting citi zens and rapidly creating interurban com munities with all the cemforts and con veniences of cities, promoting the greatest rood of the largest number. We favor tak ing up and organizing the enterprise al ready begun for tha construction of electric roads from Roseburg to Cooa Bay and from Kugene to Bluslaw. The people of Cooa Bay eit.nd the most hearty co-operation In the financing or construction of either of these lines 'With cheap coal to produce abundant electric power, and with enormous water powers going to waste on the line of both these roads they afford splendid opportuni ties for the Investment of capital. Roseburg; and Coos Bay Highway. . "We favor the construction of a fl ret -class permanent highway. Bnlshed In macadam and planking as may be beat adapted to the locality from Cooa Bay to Roseburg. along he line of the original wagon-road land grant road as far aa practicable, with apo dal tax levies In ths road districts along the line wherever they can be secured. In addi tion to county and state aid. The standard of thla road should be that It be made p.wahle at all times of the year for modern vehicles and auto cars with a maximum speed of at least 20 miles an hour for ths entire distance. Htm Water Cade Needed. This 'congress heartily Indorses the efforts of Stats Engineer Iewls In his campaign to secure the enactment of a more Just and equitable system to preserve water rights and eatabllsh proper distribution of water In the arid regiona of thla atate. We recog nize that the title In water should be as secura as the tltla in land and that per petual franchises and filings upon water powers are Inimical to the development of the state. We demand further that tha stats acQulre possession of all franchises that have lapsed or have been left unim proved and axe held merely for speculative purposes. Such titles Inhering In the state should be leased for power purposes and the rentals placed in the common school fund. . Develop Our Waterways. give our most cordial support to the policy Inaugurated by the Rivers and Har bors Congress of expending at least 50, 000,000 annually by the National Govern ment In the Improvement of our National waterway We indorse the recommenda tion of the Board of Engineers that 500, 000 annually be expended In deepening and dredging Coos Bay harbor and a sufficient appropriation be made by Congress to com plete the Jetties at the mouth of Coos Bay to the end that this shall become what nature has Intended, one of the gTeat deep sea harbors of the Paclflo Coast. We de mand almilar Improvement of the harbors and navigable channels on Tillamook Bay. Yaqulna Bay. Slualaw harbor and other ports of entry that axe developing manu facturing and commerce. We believe the standing army of Industry and the battalions of the dlnner-pall brigade are entitled to as much consideration as the Army and Navy, which we are taxed to support and have always given cur loyal and enthusias tic devotion. Open the Interior Waterways. This Congress wishes to go most em phatically upon record as approving the pol icy of liberal National appropriation for the opening of the Columbia River to the head of navigation on both branches in Idaho and Washington and maintaining a deep-water channel from Portland to the sea. The three states of Oregon, Wash ington and Idaho should assist In this un dertaking. We believe In the earliest poa slble completion of the locks and canals at the Falls of the Columbia and the Falls of the Willamette by the co-operation of both State and National aid. These waterfalls should never be permitted to be monopolized by prlvats corporations in any way to tha detriment of free navigation, as we all rec ognize that water competition Is the only effective force to lower freight rates In the interior of our state Investigate the Land-Crania, Resolved. That we favor Investigation by a competent commission into the history and acquisition of the railroad and wagon road land grants by which alleged military wagon-roads were constructed In an early day and ender which system nearly one eighth of the unreserved area of this state la held In Idleness apparently awaiting only the unearned Increment, to the end that any frauds committed In acquiring those lands, or any failure to comply with the terms of the grant may be made public and laid bare and that any equities now residing In the people may be declared In a report the findings of which ahall Inure to the people through suitable legislation by Con gress or the state or by the people in their sovereign initiative capacity. In order, if possible, that such large holdings of public grants may be thrown open to aettlement by bonl fide residents upon such lands, and that the evils of alien landlordism may be averted. These lands are needed for the establishment of homes and that the vast natural resources which they Include may be developed, and we furthermore de clare that the owners of these large hold ings should bear their Just share In the burdens of the counties In which they 11a Co-operate With Capital. This congress desires to impress on behalf of the people of Western and Southern Oregon a sincere desire to co-operate in every pos sible manner with the great financial geniuses at the head of our transcoatlnental railroad aystems. We realize that our interests and theirs are mutual, that the hundreds of mil lions of capita Invested In railroad property in this state are not only In the keeping of such men as E. H. Harximan and James J. Hill as trustees for our commonwealth, but that we are. to a great extent the guardians of such properties, end that we cannot injure or assail such corporations by hostile legislation or unjust taxation with out harming ourselves. On the other hand. the greater master minds in control of the policies and properties so completely domi nating our etate must realize that they are under a moral obligation to assist In the development of the state by annually devot ing a fair share of their profits earned In Oregon to extending their lines therein. They are pubilo service corporations created by the state and they are not warranted In continuing a policy of neglect of any section of this great commonwealth. This Congress representing the great undeveloped areas of Oregon believes that no field of operations In the United States presents a greater promise of rich reward In con structing new lines of railroad than does Oregon and particularly Coos Bay. State-Aided Railroads. The Western Oregon Development Con gress desires to raise the new Issue, that the time has come for the people of Ore gon to help themselves and. proceed by every Instrumentality In their possession to organize and build a trunk line across the State of Oregon East-and West, terminating at Coos Bay. We believe the construction of such a railroad would do more to break down the barriers of monopoly and open up the vast unsettled areas and encourage the building of a large city at the sea board and other large cities In the interior of the state, adding hundreds of millions of wealth and halt a million to our popu lation inside of ten years. We believe the next Legislature should take steps to grant right-of-way for such a railroad over all state lands and pass a bill authorising the state to condemn right-of-way over exist ing land grants held by other corporations, and that the state should build, own and operate either electric or other lines In such sections thereof as might be necessary, utilizing the splendid water powers of the state for that purpose, or guaranteeing under proper restrictions the bonds neces sary to be Issued to raise money for rail road construction where railroad corpora tions fall to do their duty to the people in building proper and necessary extensions of existing systems General Fort Commission' lav. Resolved, That the navigable water-ways and harbors of the State of Oregon, are an Invaluable asset to the commercial Interest of the entire Nation and their speedy and proper development Is necessary that the best Interests of all the people may be subserved and fostered; that In view of the importance of such Improvement at this time, and the necessity tor general legisla tion In the State of Oregon whereby all property naturally tributary to such water ways and harbors may be made to bear its Juat proportion of the cost of Improving the same, a law should be enacted at the eoming aesalon of the Legislature of this State which shall provide for the organiza tion of the territory within a reasonable distance of such navigable river, bay, estu ary, lake or hartor into navigation dis tricts and the election within each district of commissioners with power -to administer the port, maritime and riparian affairs of said district to improve said water-way, to provide necessary conveniences for shipping and to levy a- tax for the payment of the cost and expenses thereof: that the Gover nor of Oregon be requested to appoint a commission which shall, before the meeting of the Legislature of the State In 1909. meet together at such time and place as the Governor shall designate and draft a suit able law to provide for all thi needs of ths state In the respect mentioned, for sub mission to sold Legislature for enactment.

Now in response to the growing de mand that children and women be pro tected from the greed of those who would wring: a profit from their labor. The Oregonlan seems to fear that the stability of the family Is endangered. The fact that child labor is only found among the most 111 paid of the working- class should be proof that It Is not greed of pelf on the part of par ents that forces these little ones Into the treadmill of daily toil, but dire necessity. It is not given to mortals to foresee "industrial conditions 10 or 20 years hence" and it is little less than heartless to blame the father or mother under a system that permits thousands to fare sumptuously every day who have never produced a dol lar's worth of wealth In the period of their useless lives. But if the family Is the fundamental and primal unit of human society, then It Is clear that the social organism has a most direct interest In th.e health and strength of the boys and girls who must be the source of the families of tomorrow. If the children of today on any pretext whatever are driven into the factory "in the playtime of the others" the Inevitable penalty will be expected of the social body In cells of lessened vitality and constitutional weakness. If our Nation is to con tinue to grow strong; and great, we must care for the children as a careful breeder cares for his thorough bred colts or calves or dogs. If the state permits conditions that Induce "child slavery" it Is morally guilty of the crime. The state exists for the purpose of making such conditions as will tend to develop each social cell to Its highest degree of perfection. The child Is not alone the ward of Its father and mother, as Is recognized by every nation or tribe since the dawn of history. If it be for the child's best good that it be driven into the factory and mine to earn its dally bread during the growing years, let us have a law to compel the rich and Intelligent to grant this blessing to their children Instead of restricting its beneficent In fluence to the children of the slum. W. S. VARNUIL GERMANY'S NAVY GROWING Contracts Call for Vessels Larger Than Those England Is Building. BERLIN, Aug. 29. (Special.) The German Government has Just placed an order with Messrs. Blohm & Voes, the great shipbuilding firm at Hamburg, for an armored cruiser of 22,000 tons displacement. Orders for some of the material required In her construction have already been placed, but the ship herself will not be laid down until Sep tembers The cruiser la the one provided for in the estimates for the current year, and is one unit In a programme which comprises also three battleships and 12 destroyers. The German vessel Is known for the present as "G," and she is the third to be built for the German navy elnce the introduction of the Dreadnought type. The first, the Blucher, displaces 14,800 tons, and was launched at Kiel in April, 1907. The second, known as "F," was laid down at the Blohm & Voss works in March last. Her dis placement la 19,000 tons, speed 25 knots and armament 12 11-inch guns. She will thus be equally as fast as the In domitable. What the armament of "G" will be Is not known. Seeing, however, that she is to displace 3000 tons more than her Immediate predecessor, it Is plain that she will be a far more formidable ves sel, and it has In fact been suggested that ehe will carry no fewer than 16 11-lnch guns. It is Interesting to note that, while the German ship of this year's pro gramme will be laid down next month. the British cruiser of the 1908-9 esti mates will not, according to an official statement In Parliament, be laid down until February next. Further, the con tract for the three German battleships were all . placed thr.ee months ago, while the British battleships will not be laid down until January. Methodist Merger Favored.

"WASHINGTON, Aug. 29. Consul Chil ton, at Toronto, has reported, to Wash ington that according to recent state ments there the Ontario lumbermen nave PLAIN TALK ABOUT DOCTORS' MISTAKES And How These Are Reduced to the Minimum in the Methods of an Expert Specialist Doctors make more mistakes than are made in any other profession. I believe I am qualified to make a definite statement In this regard, as fully half my work as a Specialist consists of correcting the mis takes of other doctors. The reason for so many mis takes Is easily made plain to any person who will stop to consider the tremendous task assumed by the regu lar physician. In attempting too much he accom plishes far too little. The greatest mistake of the doctor Is the presumption that he can understand the whole human machine, and offer help when any part goes wrong. That Is where the guessing begins. And he expects pay for every guess. ' - Let a man with a chronic disorder go to ten differ ent doctors, and he Is more likely to get ten different opinions than five that are alike. And If five doctors did agree on a diagnosis, each one would be sure to offer a prescription different from the other four. There are some two thousand diseases In the list of what are known as "chronic" ailments, and probably twenty thousand symptoms either direct or remote. They range all the way from falling of the hair to pains In the toe. and the average doctor is supposed to know them all, or at least seldom refuses to treat them if he can get pay for his services. He may be con scientious in his desire to help the sufferer, but in undertaking so largo a task he is more likely to fall ten times than cure once. And he cannot, without injuring a patient's confidence In his ability, recom mend the services of a specialist Instead of his own. There's no economy In employing an amateur to do an expert's task. Nine times in ten failure follows. In a large percentage of Instances the result is harm. The average physician is an amateur In the treatment of men's diseases. He doesn't treat enough cases to know a great deal about them. His time Is so fully occupied In treating a full assortment of human ills that he cannot devote special study to any particular branch of practice.- Most diseases are sufficiently simple as to require no special training other than that received In the medical colleges and that afforded by experience in general practice. The more complex and perplexing ailments the family practitioner seldom cares to treat. MEN ONLY DR. TAYLOR, The Leading Specialist. The true specialist is a physician who is absolutely expert In the treatment of a few diseases. He knows all about the few diseases he treats, and he treats dif ficult cases with the -same certainty with which the general practitioner treatt ' the most common ailment. For twenty-five years I have been-treating men's diseases only. I began my special work after thorough preparation at the best medical colleges and hospitals in the country, and have cured more than any other Specialist in the West, some of whom were themselves physicians. If afflicted with any of the ailments constituting my specialty, seek an expert's and not an amateur' services. You can come to me knowing that I have treated. hundreds of cases like your own, and thousands of others very similar. Tou can rest assured that I will know just' what to do, will not make a single misstep In the treatment of your case, and that a com plete and permanent cure will follow. My specialty, besides being limited to men only, ! confined to less than a dozen aliments. But of each aliment I have handled many thousand cases. I can segregate the curable cases from those beyond help immediately, and I accept for treatment only those that I have learned I can guarantee to cure. But I do not mean a case is incurable because other specialists have failed. My reputation has been built upon my ability to cure those that others could not cure. My specialty Includes all the disorders classed as "weak ness" and the reflex symptoms common to its suffer ers. I cure varicocele without the knife, surgery or caustic. For all diseases, my methods are quick, cer tain and permanent. I cure Blood Disorders with harmless, blood-cleansing remedies that drive out the poison never to return. I have a direct treatment for Prostatic Troubles, Bladder and Kidney Disorders, and Plies, which completely relieves, and is as certain as it is sure. I have every mechanical therapeutic aid, and my Portland offices are the very best equipped of any on the Coast. 10 MY FEE Pay Me In Many Cases When ured FREE CONSULTATION To those In doubt as to their true condition who wish to avoid the serious results that may follow neglect, I offer free consultation and advice, either at my office or through correspondence. If your case Is one of the few that has reached an Incurable stage, I will not accept It for treatment, nor wlU I urge my services upon any one. I treat curable cases only, and cure all cases I treat. The DR. TAYLO 234 1-2 Morrison Street, Portland, Oregon. Hours -9 A. M. to 9P.M. Sundays, lO to 1 M.

FISH DEATH TO MALARIA Species Imported From Barbadoes Thrives In London Zoo. LONDON. Aug. 29. (Special.) In a special tank in the tortoise house at the Zoo, there has Just been placed a large number of SDecimens of the little fish known In Barbados as "millions," and with whose life history a most interesting theory is associated, for it has long been thought that to the presence of these tiny fish in the local waters might be due the immunity enjoyed by that colony frbm malaria. At one of the leading hotels in Jamaica, where the water tanks were supplied with these fish, there was. H is stated, a very noticeable diminution In the number of fever cases in the neighborhood, and the King of Italy has thought so highly of the possibility of lessening the causes of malaria by this means that he has had experiments car ried out in Rome. . In all, some hundreds of specimens were consigned to the gardens at Regent's Park, where they appear to bs flourishing exceedingly on the larvae o! the gnat, which are obtained In profu sion from the alligators' tanks. It is understood that specimens of the "mil lions" are being dispatched te some of the African protectorates, where th malaria-bearing mosquito Is especially prevalent. DON'T PAY FOR. DOCTORS' NONSENSE When you pay a doctor for a drug prescription you pay for a lot of nonsense. That prescrip tion may be an order for ten cents' worth of dope, yet you are none the wiser, and the druggist charges a dollar for it Just be cause the order Is written In dog Latin. The reason for all this prescription nonsense Is clear. Tou don't know what you are getting and the druggist can charge as much as he likes. He then divides the profit with the doctor. When I take your case my aim Is to cure. You pay one price for my treatment, and that Is all you pay. If I know that I can't cure you I'll tell you so In the be- f inning. I don't want money that don't earn. Drugs don't restore health, be cause they contain nothing that builds health. Nature wants nourishment, not poison. My way of curing is to help Nature cure. I do this by giving her the power to combat disease and drive it out of your system. This power is electricity. It gives strength to every vital organ. It vitalises the blood and In creases the circulation. It Is food to weak nerves. Electro-Vigor is the only suc cessful appliance for infusing electricity into the body. It does this while you sleep. Its influ ence is powerful, yet soothing and pleasant to the nerves. All night long It sends a volume of leotrlo life into the ailing part. Electro - Vigor is a practical, scientific body battery, not an electrlo belt. It makes Its own power and never needs charging. It Is curing people every day whom drugs had failed to bene fit.
