trim 48,018 barrels of flour for
TTongkong and Japanese ports and a
email quantity of lumber and general
cargo, the Portland and Aslatlo steam
ship Arabia, Captain Neumann, sailed
yesterday. The vessel ie the third one
or the line to get away during the
month of November and the flour ex
ports have been greatly increased
thereby. They are a trifle short,
liowever, of the exports of flour for
the same month of last season.
Flour shipments for November to
elate amount to 160.108 barrels. This
3s three times greater than the ex
port, foreign, for September, and ten
times as great aa those for October.
Wheat shipments are slow, the total
to date for the month being 620.6G1
bu.hcls, valued at I546.S40. The con
dition of the market in Europe has
roen bad for several months and ex
porters have been holding off. Char

Water Falling in Upper Willamette.
Lry. cool weather has caused the
OP
f
Cpper Willamette to fall rapidly, and
as a result the steamers plying be
tween Portland and points above Sa
lem are having a hard time on some
of the bars and riffles. For more
than a week following the rains of
the first part of the month, there
was better than a five-foot stage in
the Upper Willamette, and vessels
reached Albany without any trouble.

NEW LINE IS READY TV
R. & N. Will Open Trout-dale-Bonneville
Track.
GIVES MORE DIRECT ROUTE
Fact epeed Can Bo Maintained Over
1 7 Miles of Roadway Construct
ed During Past Two Tears
at $600,000 Cost.
This week the new line built by the
O. R. & N. between Troutdale and
Bonneville will be opened up for traf
fic. The line Just completed has cost
the company considerably over $600,000
and covers 17 miles. But the result
Justifies the expense, believe the rail
road officials, for a first-class line
good for 60-mlle-an-hour operations
has been built.
The work has occupied the attention
of the road and contractors to whom
the railroad Intrusted it for the past
two years. The work undertaken was
the rebuilding of the main line of the
O. R. & N. between the two points.
The object was to do away with the
grades and curves on the old line and
this has been accomplished In the 17
miles of track, 1600 degrees of curva
ture have been eliminated by building
the new line.
The rebuilding of the line has been
accomplished at a total disregard of
expense. For much of the distance
traversed, the road has been driven
through the rock cliffs along the river
at tremendous cost. New grade has
been built and the up and down grades
of the old line practically done away
with.
"We can go Just as fast as we want
to on the new line," said General Man
ager O'Brien, of the O. P.. & N.. yester
day. "The roadbed Is a little soft yet,
but as soon as it gets in condition it
will offer a perfect track. The new
line will do away with a large part of
the storm troubles we experienced dur
ing unusually heavy 'Winters. The old
track lies right up against the cliffs
and melting snow and Ice bring down
rocks and trees that cover the track.
The new line Is 60 to 60 feet away
from the cliffs all along and on this
account our storm troubles will be less
ened hereafter through the Columbia
Klver gorge."
Directors Postpone Meeting.
Directors of the Portland-Oregon-Sea-coast
Railroad, who were to hold a regu
lar meeting yesterday for the election of
officers for the coming year, postponed
the session until December 2S. The meet
ing, will be held at the headquarters of
the road, 16 Worcester building.

The World Wants Strong Men
In every branch of the business
world the demand Is for strong,
foiceful, energetlo men. Only hust
lers are wanted, men who can give
results. , .
The weakling has no chance in
the strenuous life of today. Like
an abandoned derelict he goes drift
ing along, doubling and redoubling
cn his tracks. He's always looking
for a Job. When he gets one he
can't hold It. for he never "makes
good."
Most of the " failures In life are
due to the want of grit or nerve.
It's the ambition to "do or die,
coupled with nerve power vitality
that wins success. There's latent
power In every man. All It needs
Is waking up. Electro - Vigor has
put thousands of men on the road
to success, men who had met with
nothing but failure before they
came to me.
Give me a man who is held down
by physical weakness, lost vitality,
lack of energy, backwardness or de
spondency, and I will make a new
man out of him by filling his nerves
with the fire of life electricity.
I have harnessed a powerful but
soothing current of electricity into
a body appliance made of dry cell
batteries. I call It Electro-Vigor,
because it gives strength, vim, new
vitality to your nerves, stomach or
any other part of your body that
may be weak.
Klectro-Vigor Is not an electric
belt. It makes Its own power and
never noeas charging. It will cure
eviry case of rheumatism, nervous
debility, weak stomach, kidney and
HAN, I CAN CURE
Wo matter If you have been pronoaneed Incurable by any other physician, dont on
that account hesitate to come to me for treatment. I have cured hundreds of men who
'had been told that they were Incurable. Rsmember, that my methods are original with
me and are the result of many years' experience In medical practice. I effect a cure In
eve'ry case I take for treatment, because my treatment Is adjusted to the needs of each
patient with scientific, precision. I leave nothing to guesswork. I KN'OW when I begin
rstlng a patient that I will perform a complete and permanent CURE. Such a cure
by my treatment it Just as certain as that two and two make four.
I o learn that nothing less than complete eradication of the disease from the sys
tem Is a real cure. I treat to completely remove the disease and not merely the symp
toms. I drive out every root and fiber of the ailment and effeot a cure that will t
make you strong and vigorous for a lifetime.
The cures I effeot are the result of my thorough knowledge of every phase of the
disease I treat and to the fact that I applyUndlvldual treatment to each case. In every
inetanoe I know the ailment and I know the cure for It. The fact that I agree to wait
for my fee until you are cured Is proof of my confidence in my ability to cure In every
case. Some physicians assert that certain diseases of men are Incurable. I deny that
and stand ready to PBOV1! thai by toy methods there is no dls ease peoullar to men
that cannot be oared.
You Can Pay Me Wten You Are Cured
T snarTTfTr' v
Under ray treatment the m cat
aggravated oases of varlcooele are
cured in a few days time. There
Is no pain, and It is seldom neces
sary that the patient be detained
from his occupation. Normal cir
culation is at onoe restored
throughout all the organs and
their natural processes of was t e
and repair are again established.
If you are afflicted with varicocele
consult me at once. Delay can
bring on aggravated oondltions and
nervous oomplioaUons and Involve
the general health.
No other physician employs a
like treatment, and so thorough Is
my work that there need not be
the slightest fear of a relapse hsto
old condition.

An exhibit of fruit surpassing any

sending their exhibits to the horticul

liver trouble, lame back, sciatica,
varicocele, loss of power and every
