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

for the best decorated steamer to enter
the port during the period of festivities.

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.

that chattel slavery be abolished was
opposed on the ground that on that
Institution rested the hopes of human
progress, the welfare of the black race,
to say nothing of the Biblical and eth
ical arguments with which it was
sought to overthrow those "undesira
ble citizens" of another day.
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.

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.

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

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. Given Free
