TIIE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, DECEMBER 20, 1908. LYDGATE CARRIES BIG WHEAT CARGO British Vessel Clears for the United Kingdom With 147, 437 Bushels. FOURTH SHIP IN DECEMBER Grain Exports, Foreign, Amount to 607,062 Bushels No Flour Set Afloat Lumber Trade Slack. Increase Is Looked For. The British bark Lydsrate. Captain Law. cleared for the United Kingdom yesterday with H7.4.T7 bushels of -wheat, valued at JIK.TOO. The vessel frill leave down this morning and Captain Law will proceed to pea at tho earliest possible moment. The clearance Is the first for more than a week and Is the fourth grain cargo to get away during the month. Foreign ship ments to date amount to 607.002 bushels, with a valuation of J04M74. The month will end with the addition of enough grain to bring the total up to nearly 1,0C).00 bushels. So flour shipments will figure In the Ierember exports. Three of the regular liners got away durin? November and another Oriental craft Is not due until January. TT.a demand for foodstuffs has been slow, both in Japan and China for several months and all the flour sent to tho Orient has b?en carried by the regu lar liners. - December has drawn very little on the lumber mills for foreign shipments. The outlook for foreign business during the next six months, however. Is very en couraging and dealers anticipate a big business between now and July 1. This will help to "dispose of a large amount of the disengaged tonnage In Puget Bound, San Francisco and Portland harbors, The Lydgate has the distinction of car rying the largest cargo shipped In a sail ing vessel since the departure of the Andorinha. which cleared In September. The cargo on that craXt was the larwest ever set afloat in the Columbia River. The Lydsate carried more than the French bark Villi d'Havre by 6000 bushels, while ler- registered tonnage Is less. 6TEAMS1IIP AKGO GOES ASHORE Tillamook Vessel Runs) Aground, in Tog In Willamette River. The steamship Argo. Captain Jones, from Tillamook, went ashore m the fog yesterday morning rear the beacon op posite Cilllhan's landing In the Willam ette River. A dense fog hung over at rhe time and the pilot lost his way. The lArgo lay on the mud until high water and then worked herself off. She reached her dock at 1:30 In the afternoon. The Areo will leave down e,?aln tomorrow evening. Shipping was practically tied up be tween o'clock friday afternoon and noon yesterday because of fog. The steamship Rose City, which left for San Francisco at 4 o'clock Friday afternoon got only as far as Fale's. She was unable to lave that point until arter noon yester day. She arrived down late last night and will probably not go to sea until to day. The steamship Roanoke was also held lip by the fog and did not reach Astoria until after the Rose City. A number of lirmber-laden schooners were also com pelled to lay at anchor and watt for the weather to clear. Dagliestan Sank in Collision. N"EW TORIC. Dec. 19. The British freisrht steamer Daorhestan was sunk outside the harbor late last night by the tramp steamer Catalog?. There was no loss of life, the crew of the Britisher belncr ricked up by the Cata lone. The latter 1? anchored outside the bar, and the extent of her damage 1s not known. The Daghestan was owned by the Hindustan Steamship Company, and registered- S468 tons gross. She had sailed late yesterday for Marseilles. Tho Catalone was ln toound from Boston. A heavy fog cov ered the lowr harbor when the acci dent happened. i Fast Time Made From Liverpool. VICTORIA, B. C, Dec. 19 (Special.) Forty-six daya were required to bring freight via the Tehuantepec Railway and the Canadian-Mexican steamship lina from Liverpool to this port. The steamer Lonsdale arrived this morning, bringing Iu0 tons of general freight, the first ship ment by the new route. It Is confidently expected by the management that freight will be landed In this city well within 43 lays from Liverpool. The steamers will hereafter sail direct from Salinas Cms. to this city. To Inspect Steamer Inland Empire. The new steamer Inland Empire will be Inspected next Tuesday and on the following day she will make her trial Trip. The vessel will then be tied np until all danger of ice In the river has passed and the boat will be able to make a regular schedule. It Is the intention of Superintendent Smith to place two steamers In commission on the upper river as soon as clear water can be looked for. By that time the Celilo Falls will have been completed and ready for service. Empress of Chin Arrives. VICTORIA, B. C Dee. 19. "With 620 tons of silk, valued at $1,331,124, In cluded in a caro of 2796 tons, mostly tea, oranges and general, the Empress of China arrived from Hong Kong via Yokohama this morning, bringing the Christmas mail from the Philippines, China and Japan, 600 bags in all. There were five saloon passengers only. Including C. S. Averlll, United States Consul from Formosa, and 283 Chinese, of whom nine only paid head tax. Bark Bossnet Is Recbartered. The French bark Bossuet, which ar rived in port November 14 from New castle, N. S. "W., under charter to Hind, Rolph & Co.. has been reehartered to Kerr. Glfford & Co. for wheat loading for the United Kingdom at 22s Jd. This Is the lowest rate quoted for a sailing ship for many months. Union vessels have been holding for 27s 6d for orders. Hind & Rolph took the vessel on a round-trip charter. Thermometer Drops to 2$ Defrrees. The thermometer dropped to 23 de grees yesterday morning, the lowest temperature rerorded for the season by the weather bureau. A temperature i'f IS degrees is predicted for this morning between the hours of 4 and 5 o'clock.

The pass ing of sentence on Abraham Ruef, con victed of the bribery of a supervisor to vote for a trolley franchise for the Unit ed Railroads, was postponed by Judge Lawlor today until Thursday, December 24. The attorneys for the defense made a strong but unsuccessful fight to secure a continuance until January 2 of next year. Ruef was represented by Thomas B. Dozier, who stated that Henry Ach,' lead ing counsel for the defense, was so ill that he had been unable to participate In any of the work involved In prepara tion of the motion for a new trial. Mr. Dozier further stated that the time grant ed him had not been sufficient to enable him to perfect this matter alone, and he called the attention of the court to the fact that minutes and other records of the long trial were not yet available. As sistant District Attorney John O'Gara. who represented the prosecution, opposed Dozier's motion for a two weeks' con tinuance, and Judge Lawlor, after point ing out to 31 r. Dozier the limited grounds upon which a motion for a new trial might be granted, set the further hearing for next Thursday. Mr. Dozier made an effort to have this time extended until next Saturday, but the court was peremp tory In refusing the request. NAME DECEIVES MOTHERS Etrans Declares Commercial Fas ' teurlzed Milk Is Big Fraud. 2CEV7 YORK, Dec. 19. Nathan Straus, the New Tork philanthropist, best known, perhaps, for his free milk booths and Pasteurization crusade, is urging the pas sage by the next Legislature of more stringent legislation in this state prohibit ing the importation of cattle afTected with tuberculosis. Also he hopes to prevent the use of the word "Pasteurization" unless It speaks for the scientific and not com mercial method. "Commercial Pasteurization," says Mr. Straus, "la a humbug and fraud. The germs are not killed, but the milk has been treated by a process which merely preserves It, and prevents It from souring. It actually does more harm than good, for It enables dishonest dealers to keep milk and market It when It is old and stale. It deceives mothers, who know that Pasteurized milk is good for their babies, and do not understand that com mercially Pasteurized milk Is only pre served milk. "Unfortunately most of the so-called Pasteurized milk sold in the city has been only commercially treated, and the use of the term 'Pasteurisation in connection with It should be forbidden by law." $250 0NEPIPE $250.

PANTON In Lengthy I-etter. Dean of Medical School Takes Tp Charges in De tail and Answers Points by De nials and Explanations. PORTLAND, Dec. 19. (To the Editor.) Dr. Panton, in his letter in last Sun day's Oregonian, at last proved his preju dice against the medical department of the University of Oregon, a sentiment which he would never before admit. Drawing deductions from a tissue of false statements, he erected a figure of straw which he thereupon proceeded to pull down and pommel. The personali ties to which he descended are not wortny of a sane and proper discussion of the matters involved, and were I alone con cerned In his letter I would give the mat ter no further notice. I shall certainly not Indulge In recrimination and person alities further than Is absolutely neces sary in refuting certain of his state ments, for I fully realize that such style of argument is distasteful andxwholly unt worthy to such of the public as may be Interested. I realize that It is almost a useless task to enter into a controversy with one who makes use of such weapons, yet I am constrained to raply by certain state ments abcut the medical department of the U. of O., and direct questions ad dressed to myssif. His statement that the medical department of the U. of O. Is a private stock corporation is abso lutely untrue. This department was duly chartered by the regents of the U. of O. in 1S87, and has always remained a part of the state corporation and never been a stock company. No buildings have been furnished by the state at any time, and none being available for rental for med ical schools, a stock company was formed early In the history of the college for the purpose of providing a proper build ing in which to carry on the school. Building Is Kented. Tills building has been, and is, rented to the college at a reasonable rental. Had It not been provided by this, or some other builder, the state having failed to provide a place, there would have been no available premises In w.ilch to carry on the work. The building corporation would be very glad indeed to have the state furnish a building In which to carry on the school, when it would turn its own property to other uses. As to the charge that the school Is a money-making institution, I will say that, if so. it is a lamentable failure In that respect. It receives from the State Uni versity tlOOO per annum to aid in paying Its expenses. For the rast live years the expenses, entirely aside from anything paid to lecturers for their services, has varied from $4000 to over 4600 per annum. This Included many additions made to laboratory- plants, and other educational facilities. ' After paying the expenses referred to above (over $3000 per annum in excess of the J1000 from the University) the bal ance is then divided among the lecturers as some compensation for their work. Aside from this payment, no salaries are paid to lecturers. About one month ago I entered into correspondence, on the subject of compensation to lecturers, with about 60 medical schools (Including all medical departments of state universi ties of the United States), and have re ceived numerous replies. From these, which may be seen at my office. It Is ap parent that the compensation received by our lecturers amounts to not more than from one-twentieth to one-fifth of what they should have. Xeed Greater Allowance. Experts on medical education have as asserted that beyond doubt the cost of educating a medical student to graduation is much in excess of tne rees paia oy mm. Medical departments of state universities In many states receive very considerable amounts with which to pay salaries of lecturers. In our own case the Incon siderable sum left after paying expenses and devoted to the purpose of paying between 35 and 40 lecturers, falls very far short of what they ought to receive. A detail report, ever since the beginning of the school, has been rendered annually to the regents, embracing both scholastic and financial matters. All receipts of of money. Including the $1000 from the University, are accounted for, and all disbursements are represented by vouch ers In this office which have been pre viously checked by an auditing commit tee of two, selected each year by the medical faculty. The regents of the University ought to allow to the medical school at least . $10,000 per annum in order to pay somewhere near adequate com pensation to lecturers upon certain branches, my own XOT Included. In this connection, referring to imperti nent queries of Dr. Panton personal to myself, and most of which are too puerile for notice or reply, I will say, as to whether I "am In the medical school to elevate the medical profession for rev enue only": Certainly not the latter. The revenue derived from my connection with the school is too insignificant to be considered in comparison with the amount of time I devote to my duties as dean and teacher. What money I have received from the school Is a matter of public record in the annual reports above referred to, and which' are on file at the office of the University, at Eugene. I need not say to those of the medical profession who know me best that I have labored to elevate the medical pro fession and to assist In making Portland a medical educational center. Very much of the time of the best years of my life have been unselfishly devoted to this ob ject. It is hard for men of narrow souls to appreciate the sentiment of public obligation with unselfiBh loyalty In others or the spirit that leads the latter to do things unless a substantial quid pro quo is to be forthcoming. Stands on Record. My life In this -community for over 40 years has been an open book, and I am quite willing to let Its record stand against the quips and innuendoes or my interrogator. As to what I have done for the advancement of knowledge, it is not for me to say; whatever else my faults, I am not a boaster. Dr. Panton misquoted me In the pas sage: "that his graduates axe the equal In educational attainments of any aver age lot of students, etc.," and then pro ceeds to say that I Vdo not claim much for them." My words were "that the AVERAGE Oregon educated physicians are the equals of any AVERAGE lot of students, etc." The presence of tho word "average" twice changes the whole meaning of the sentence and renders his criticism unjust and silly. His charge that I am "personally re sponsible for the defects of our local school, for he has been its dean and man ager," and that "reforms have been made under compulsion and not because of any scruples of the dean," is truly terrible; and he, Dr. Panton, believes it, too. Awful, indeed. I do not wish to shirk any responsibility, but If the above charge be true, it does seem strange that the other members of the faculty should have been hoodwinked all these years. Even Dr. Panton will, not deny that they are men of Intelli gence and discernment, and not likely to be dictated to. For 22 years annually (for the election of officers takes place anew each year) they have unanimously elected me dean. Never has there been a dissenting vote, and never have I made the slightest effort to obtain or hold the position. Indeed, I have consented to continue in it, of late years, only be cause of their unanimously expressed desire to have me, and because of my own wish to co-operate with them In in itiating and carrying forward advances in medical education. Leaves Verdict to Others. Dr. Panton makes this and many other gratuitous assumptions and state ments which raise simply questions of differing opinions between us. In such matters I am quite willing to let the verdict rest with the public. A more serious item of Dr. Panton'a letter Is his quotation from a letter of Dr. Col well, in which the latter pays: "I have been told (mark Dr. Colwell does not state It as a fact) that the reason that this school is no longer a member of the A. A. M. C. Is that the college re fused to furnish reports regarding pre liminary requirements, etc." Dr. Colwell was misinformed. This college voluntarily resigned its (mem bership In the A. A. M. C. for reasons stated In a report by a committee of this faculty and which Involved the fair dealings of the A. A. M. C. in the mat ter of amending Its constitution with out proper notice, which affected our. relations withour own university, and for other good reasons, none of which touch the efficiency of this school. The secretary of the A. A. M. C, in a small spirit of revenge, in his report that this college had resigned, stated that as certain reports for entrance cre dentials had not been submitted, it might be inferred that the resig nation was offered rather than make the reports. The Inference was entirely un justified, and In a vigorous protest against such a. statement submitted to the secretary this was pointed out. As a fact, the blanks for returns in the matter of matriculates for that year reached here while I was absent abroad. Upon my return there was a mass of correspondence to attend to, and before I reached the matter of filling out the blanks, this college voluntarily withdrew its membership and I supposed it un necessary to make further report to it and so informed the secretary later. A1J data relating to entrance creden tials or other school matters are on file In the dean's office and I will gladly show them to anyone Interested. Dr. Panton finds fault with the lab oratory and clinical facilities of the school. I wonder if he has been at even one of our laboratory or clinical demon strations during recent years. Invite Dr. Panton to Visit. t 0-nnA f1th and in all sinceritv I in vite him to visit any or all of our lab oratories histological, patnoiogicai, an atomical, chemical, etc, when classes . . wnrlr fhAmltl nn aTaO ClfnlCS at Good Samaritan, St. Vincent's, Multno mah County Hospital, eta I will gladly furnish him with schedule of hours.

I was not present when this paper was reaa or uisl-jmcu nm have never deemed it of sufficient impor tance to read since its publication. He quotes the alleged "spontaneous testimony of Dr. James P. Bell, of this school." Dr. Bell, replying to my query as to the truth of this, responded as follows: "Dr. Panton, in his letter to The Ore gonian of December 13, charges me with saying: 'I will grant you that the grad uates of our school are not the best, or fit to practice In Buch a city as Portland, but they are good enough for country crossroads, and In that respect we have filled a want.' t . i. tTMi that T Aver made such a statement, or that I, lnferentlally or otherwise, said our scnooi was omy ca pable of graduating men fit for the iietrtAt.

(Signed) JAMES F. BELL." Dr. Panton attributes to Dr. Bevan improper motives in rating this school as acceptable. Those who know Dr. Bevan and his high standing as a Na tional figure in the medical world will not likely agree with his traducer. Dr. Panton Posing. One great trouble with Dr. Panton is that he poses as the sole champion In Portland of advanced medical education, refers to the action of medical societies indorsing higher medical education as being the simon pure article represented by him, and hence constituting laudation of himself by the societies. As a fact these Indorsements are of higher educa tion and not at all personal. At the same time, while acknowledging that the Oregon school Is advancing, he writes as though we were opposing the higher standard. So far as higher standards are concerned this school has done, over and over again, more than has Dr. Pan ton for this cause. It Is his desire, evi dently, in this controversy, to place the school In a position opposed to "higher education. This is, to say the least, un fair and disingenuous, but biased criti cism may always be expected from the man with a grouch. It Is profitless to argue with one who draws his deduc tions fram false' premises. This letter alms simply, to expose the false prem ises which render his deduction, based upon them, valueless.

It is false that Eastern schools decline our students; on the contrary. I know of no case in which recognition has been refused. They are gladly re ceived 'and given credit for their time and work done here. I wish it to be distinctly understood that this school does not and never did object to the system of a state board. On the contrary, the members of our faculty have always favored It and be lieve It to be right. And further, we think such board should be kept free from bias in favor of medical schools, by excluslon from It of any one In the teaching corps of a medical school. All we ask on the part of the board Is fair treatment for our graduates, not only In marking, but in character and scope of examination to ascertain efficiency, and that Is not to be gained by exclus ively written examination, but by com bination with clinical and laboratory methods. Finally, for I do not intend to con tinue this newspaper controversy, let me say that the pittance I receive for my FREE MUSEUM OF AN VTOMY FOR A MEN .

OREGON MEDICAL INSTITUTE 291V2 Morrison St., Between Fourth and Fifth, Portland, Or. M AEE OR. TAYLOR The Leading- Specialist Experiment Contracted Diseases Fully one-fourth of the cases of organic weakness with which I come In contact are a direct result of the Improper treatment of some con tracted disease. This should be suf ficient warning aealnat patent nos trums and other uncertain methods. I never dismiss a patient until Z know that every possibility of re lapse or evil result has been re moved. The remedies I employ ar known to myself alone, and I have reason to regard them" as the surest ana safest ever devised for the cure of contracted diseases. Varicocele My treatment for Varicocele Is si painless one, and in most Instances the patient need not be detained s. single day from his business. Evan In advanced cases, a cure by my method Is a matter of but a very tew days. There Is no doubt or guesswork, but absblute certainty jf a thorough and lasting cure, with ;omplete return of that degree oC health and vigor that existed before the disease began. services has not sufficient attraction to hold me to this work. For myself I care nothing, but I do want to see the medical department of the University of Oregon perpetuated and its alumnae and students vindicated. With my colleagues I have done a part In Its foundation and advancement. I want that it should be made a great ' school, it matters not to me under whose leadership. I myself am nothing, but the continued success of the school as an Institution desire. S. B. JOSEPHI. SALOON MAN RETURNS CASH Old Man, Bilked on Auto Ride, Is Happy Again.
