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

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

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

Ruef was represented by Thomas B.

Dozier further stated that the time grant

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."

Defends Medical Department
of University of Oregon
. Against Criticism.
RESPECTS TO DR. 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.

but it is not. 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.'

that not only in Oregon. but In the
larger cities of the State of Washing
ton, he could find many of our grad
uates engaged in successful practice and
holding their own with the graduates of
ntiAi niieires- T al.?o said it seemed

The' man who Is weak and worn out in vitality, whose setrength is being constantly

neither the healthy mental faculty nor the powers of physical endurance to com

his question: 'Are there not plenty of
first-class medical colleges burning out
eminently qualified men to fill the de
mand?' For I remarked that I thought
the number of graduates from such
high-grade colleges as Johns Hopkins,
etc., was limited, and that the majority
of such graduates usually preferred to
settle In the larger cities, thus leaving
many openings, in both town and coun
try of the rapidly growing states of
Oregon and Washington to be filled by
the graduates of our own and other col
leges. (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.
Permit me to embody in this letter a
gen eral denial of the statements made

Health, Don't
Weakness
I have completely demonstrated the
fact that derangement of the masculine
functions is a curable ailment. By the
closest observations in thousands of
cases I have ascertained that only in
rare Instances is the nervous system or
general constitution involved to any
noticeable degree whatever, and that
weakness in all Its phases is merely
a symptom of local disorder. In by far
the greater number of cases I find the
condition entirely due to a state of In
flammation or congestion in the pros
tate gland, or at some other vital
point of the organic system, brought
on by early dissipation or lingering as
a result of -some contracted disorder.
Such cases may show temporary Im
provement under stimulating processes
of treatment, but ultimate relapse and
Injury are certain fo follow all such
methods. The only radical cure is the
absolute removal of the abnormal con
ditions responsible for the functional
disorder, and this I accomplish through
carefully-directed local measures.
My treatment is entirely distinctive
and original. No other physician em
ploys like methods, nor approaches my
success in curing. The results I obtain
are thorough and lasting, and strength
and vigor are restored in the full and
normal degree. v
by certain persons with reference to this
subject In recent Isssues of the Evening
Telegram. They are ' fabrications of
those who are attempting, for their own
purposes,' to tear down the school. It
Is false that we are under the ban of the
A. M. A. or expurged from their list;
that we have no microscope and borrow
from local physicians. Who is the medi
cal man who so confidently asserts that
he can prove that "not one new Idea of
any importance" has appeared in my
lectures In the last eight years? Let him
come out of his hiding. I defy him to
prove the truth of his allegation.
It is false that no applicant has been
excluded for lack of preliminary educa
tion. Every year there have been such
cases. 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
