Balfour, Guthrie & Co. Take
Norwegian Ship for
Cargo of Lumber.
TO LOAD ON PUGET SOUND
Charters Slow for Some Time For
eign Lumber Business Weak, but
situation Is Improving Xor.
"em of the Waterfront,
Balfour, Guthrie & Co., have chartered
the Norwegian ship Arranmore to load
lumber for the West Coast of South
America on PiiKet Sound. The craft has
been on the disengaged' list xor some
time and la now tied up at Victoria. The
JLxrnmoro Is a vessel of 17F2 net tom
ferlater and arrived from Acapulco In
November in ballast. She will carry
bout l.SUAQu) feet.
The Arranmore is the first fixture to
he announced for some time past. The
foreign lumber business has been quiet
and little timber has been shipped for
any of the coast ports. Recently an
inquiry was sent out asking for prices
on delivery of 3K.0O.0iO feet on the West
Coast. This had the effect of stimulating;
the lumber market a little. Mill men
are looking forward to big business
during the coming year both in the
coastwise traffic and in foreign business.
All mills are working full time and the
California demand is increasing rapidly.
Railroads are demanding ties and the
irrigation projects In the Southwest
require lumher.
Since the suspension of freight rates
on union vessels from Pacific Coast
ports for wheat cargoes there has been
no announcements of charters, although
several craft have been offered as low
as 21 shillings. During the pa?t season
the larger part of the grain crop was
handled by steamships. Steam tonnage
offered for 24 shillings while sail held
for the minimum rate allowed by the
association, 27s M.

Coos TS.ny Steamship AVill Be
Equipped With Instruments.
Arrangements have been practically
completed for the. installation of a wire

Alliance, operating between Portland and
Coos Bay points. Captain Parsons has
forwarded a report to the home office in
San Francisco, relative to the power
which is developed in the dynamos on
the ship.
The Alliance will be the first craft
operating between ports In Oregon to
be equipped with wireless. The uses to
which the service can be put are many
and will be greatly appreciated by the
traveling public.
Tiverton Roughly Handled In Gale.
SAX FRANCISCO. Dec. 26. The steam
schooner Tiverton. Captain Johnson,
which came In yesterday morning from
Tacoma to take on coal for her trip
south, struck a gale at Cape Blanco
that set the lumber-laden craft on her
beam ends. To keep the bow up, 30.000
feet of lumber was moved to the stern
of the boat, and this task was not ac
complished without great risk by the
crew. Captain Johnson reported that It
was one of the worst gales he ever ex
perienced on this coast.
Steamship Tweeddale Due Today.

Sardou's Method of rolitely Dodg

PARIS, Dec 26. Many stories are be
ing told about the life and character of
the late Victorten Sardou. Like all suc
cessful men, he was constantly pestered
for help. ' One day a young author called
on him. His work was good but he had
been so far quite unsuccessful, and he
was altogether penniless.
"I think I know what to do for you,"
Sardou said. "Walt half a minute." He
went Into the next room and came back
a few moments later with a note, which
he thrust into his visitor's coat pocket
and said: "Go straight from here to the
address on the envelope, and you will be
all right."
VN hen the young author got down stairs
he took the envelope out of his pocket.
It was addressed: A. Success, Esq., 1
Perseverance street. Paris." Inside was a
bank note for J20.

perintendent Steiner.
$502,500 FOR EXPENSES
Keque&t for Appropriation Does Not
Include Possibility or establish
ment of Branch Asylum in
Eastern Oregon.
SALEM, Or., Iec. 26. (Special.) Ap
propriations aggregating almost JSOO.000
will be asked of the coming session of
the Legislature' for the maintenance of
the State Insane Asylum and for re
pairs and improvements for the ensuing
two years. This is an Increase of $200,
000 over the appropriations of two years
ago, or an increase of 33 per cent. Of the
total amount asked In the biennial report
of the Superintendent, the principal Items
are maintenance, 1502,500; new wing,
$125,000; heating plant, $60,000; new laundry
plant, $15,000; two new cottages for phy
sicians, $10,000; sprinkler system for fire
protection, $10,000; cowbarn, $10,000.
The report asks for appropriations upon
the assumption that no branch asylum
wui oe provided ior in eastern uregon
That subject Is not touched upon in the
report. The location of a branch asylum
would presumably increase the amount
of appropriations needed to the extent
of the cost of new buildings, except, per
haps, that tue establishment of a branch
asylum might remove the need for the
new wing at a cost of $125,000 here.
The statistical portion of the report
shows that two years ago there" were
146 patients in the asylum, since which
time 986 have been admitted; 28 escapes
were returned; 533 were discharged; 299
died and 50 escaped, leaving 1558 Inmates
at the time of making the report. The
increase in the number of patients is
132, or about 9 per cent. An Increase of
200 is estimated for the ensuing two years.
22 Per Cent of Patients Recover.
The percentage of recoveries, computed
upon the number received during the
period, is 22 per cent. The percentage
of deaths, computed upon the basis of
the total number confined, is 12 1-4 per
cent. About one-fifth of the deaths were
from old age. Of the 60 who escaped,
28 were recaptured and the others are
harmless parole patients.
Superintendent Steiner recommends that
an automobile be purchased for the asy
lum, to be used in' conveying patients
and capturing escapes, but this item is
not included in the list of appropriations
asked for.
Of the condition and needs of the institu
tion Dr. Steiner says:
The present buildings, while thsy enswer
very well for a place of detention for the
chronic insane, are out of date and not
adapted to the carrying out of the more
modern and improved methods of treatment
of the acute or recent cases. It im wen
known that. In order to be effective, bura
tlve treatment must be applied early. It
would be expensive and Impracticable to
attempt to modernize the old receiving
wards. It Is, therefore, recommended that
a detached building be erected with modern
equipment, designed to receive and treat
the new patients. Such a building would
cost but little more than the old style wing
that has been added with such regularity
In the past, and it would be infinitely more
advantageous In making this a hospital for
the treatment and- cure of cases of mental
alelnatton, rather than an asylum for their
detention. It would furnish the additional
rocm that ''must be provided at once, and
would make the Oregon Institution com
pare more favorably with the advances that
are being made along this line In other
states.
Diphtheria Outbreak Curbed.
The general health of the patients has
been good. An outbreak of diphtheria
caused some temporary alarm, but by rigid
quarantine and the liberal use of Immuniz
ing dose of antitoxin to those exposed, the
piead of the malady was limited to six
cases among the patients; of these, one re
sulted fatally, the others making good re
coveries. One of th staff. Dr. Evans, con
tracted the disease from one of the first
cases, and, though seriously sick for a time,
recovered completely. That we have not
bad an outbreak of disease due to contam
inated water supply Is an eloquent tribute
to the strict regulations and precautions
adopted to protect the patients against the
polluted Mill Creek water used everywhere
abcut the Institution for all purposes ex
cept for drinking and cooking. This is a
continuous and serious menace to the health
of the Institution, and an abundant supply
of pure water Is one of the most urgent '

general offices of the Northern Pacific,
waa in 1SH during the time of high
water. She was brought up to Portland
for a time and conveyed trains from the
Jefferson-street wharf to Kelso, Wash.
The withdrawing of the boat was brought
about by Uie opening and use of the two
new bridges across the Columbia from
Vancouver and the Willamette at St.

of the many crying needs of this, the great
est of the state's charities.
The policy pursued in the past ofl adding
new wings to the old buildings as the
steadily increasing number of patients re
quired, has resulted in building a very large
number of wards for the housing of now
nearly 1600 Insane, without Increasing to a
relative degree the laundry, engineering
department, bakery, offices, apartments for
employes and other departments, which are
still, in some cases, . no larger than when
the number of patients was but 350. So
that now the institution Is out of balance.
These various departments being inadaquate.
In addition to this, the older parts of the
institution are woefully out of repair. A 11
of this is wrong and short-sighted, econ
omy; the need of the institution is a per
manent one. and It should be put In a
proper state of repair, and then so main
tained. This will now Involve the expendi
ture of a large sum of money, the appro
priation of which could not be objected to
by any one at all familiar with the con
ditions. The Installation of a central heating
plant is recommended, chiefly because It
will lessen the danger of a disastrous
fire, but also ae a matter of economy.
The fuel expense is over $22 000 for two
years, and Dr. Steiner. believes this can
be reduced 25 per cent by the establish
ment of a central steam-heating plant.

CROWN JEWELS PAWNED
Moorish Geins May Be
Public Auction.
Sold at
PARIS, Dec. 26. (Special.) There is
some anxiety at the Mont de Tlete con
cerning the Moorish Sultan's jewels.
About 14 -months agro Abdul Azziz pawned
his crown jewels. He sent envoys to
Paris to raise a loan on them. The en
voys entered into negotiations with cer
tain banks but nothing came off the
pourparlers, ana finally they found their
way to the Mont de Plete. The Jewels
were submitted to experts who found that
there were many valuable gems among
them, and the National pawnshop lent
fcfiO.000 on the lot, the loan to be re
newed every year at 7 per cent Interest.
In view of the recent events in Morocco
there is a fear that the loan will not be
renewed, in which case there would be a
public sale, similar to that arranged for
disposing of Mme. Humbert's Jewels.

SOLEMN
PLEDGE BROKEN
Promised Report on Rate-Law
Amendment and Did Not
Make It.
TRUE ONLY TO RAILROADS
After Repeated Demands From
United Pacific Coast Delegation,
He Made. Definite Promise of
Report Before Christmas.
OREGONIAK NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Dee. 26. The bill Introduced last
session by Senator Fulton of Oregon,
prohibiting the Increase of any Interstate
freight rate without the consent of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, has
been marked for slaughter by the "rail
road Senators." and Senator Elklns, de
vout friend of the great railroad Sena
tors, has been . designated to see that
the bill does not pass. In the perform
ance of this duty Mr. Elkins has al
ready been obliged to abrogate a solemn
pledge which he made on the floor of the
Senate on Way 13, but this pledge was
given to the Senate and not to the rail
roads, and therefore Is not, in the opin
ion of the West Virginian, to be consid
ered as inviolable.
It has been well known in Washing
ton for many years that Mr. Elkins was
a representative of the railroad interests
in the Senate; his course has shown It,
but never more plainly than in the
smothering of the Fulton bill, which has
the indorsement of every Senator from
the Pacific Coast, Idaho and Montana.
In regard to this bill, Mr. Elkins "has
resorted to tactics seldom followed even
in the Senate.
Pigeonholed by Elkins.
A year ago, after the transcontinental
railroads had paralyzed the lumber In
dustry of the Pacific Coast, the Senators
from Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Cali
fornia and Montana held an Informal
meeting and drafted the Fulton bill,
which provides that no Interstate rate
shall be advanced until after hearing by
the Interstate Commerce Commission and
then only if the Commission finds the
advance Is reasonable and justifiable.
The bill was the direct outgrowth of
the advance In lumber rates, but was to
be general In its application and. had it
been passed, would have prevented the
general Increase in commoiity rates that
is to go into effect on January 1, af
fecting all manner of transcontinental
traffic.
The bill was referred to the commit
tee on Interstate commerce, of which Mr.
Elkins is chairman. No action was
taken; the bill was pigeonholed. Finally,
after a long wait, Mr. Fulton, In open
Senate, called the attention of Mr. El
kins to the fact that no consideration had
been given his bill, and Mr. Elkins re
plied that It would be taken up in due
season, but had been delayed because
certain railroad officials desired to be
heard with regard to it. But no hearing
was held and no action taken. Finally,
on March 13, Mr. Fulton offered a reso
lution discharging the committee from
further consideration of the bill, his ob
ject being to have the bill considered by
the Senate on Its merits, regardless of
the recognized unfriendly attitude of Mr.
Elkins' committee.
Breaks Promise Openly.
Mr. Fulton's unexpected motion brought
Mr. Elkins to his feet, and he protested
against its adoption. He declared that
hia committee had referred the bill to the
Interstate Commerce Commission and
that that body had returned It with an
unfavorable report. In this he deliberate
ly misrepresented the commission, for the
commission, In returning the bill, inclosed
a copy of Its annual report, strongly urg
ing the passage of Just such a measure.
However, on appeal from members of the
committee, Mr. Fulton did not press his
motion. Subsequently, however, he -made
several attempts to get the bill before the
Senate without avail, and Anally, on May
13. he brought up the subject again. On
this date he made a sliort speech, explain
ing the purpose of and demand for his
bill, and got from Mr. Elkins a positive
promise that the bill ehould be reported
and laid before the Senate prior to the
holiday adjournment this year.
Mr. Elkins did not report the bill; he
did not make any effort to report it. He
deliberately went back on his promise,
made In open Senate, and will work along
the same line after January 1 to prevent
a report, or, at least, prevent a vote In
the Senate. Because of the seriousness
of the situation, the Importance of this
legislation to the entire West, and because
of the deliberation with which Mr. Elkins
broke his promise to Mr. Fulton and other
Western Senators, it is of consequence to
know Just what Mr. Elkins promised. The
following verbatim report is taken from
the Congressional Record of May 13, 190S:
Fulton Demands Pledge.
Mr. Fulton I am not the only one who
has been laboring for this measure. The
Senators from California, the Senators from
Montana, the Senators from Idaho, the
Senators from Washington and the Sena
tors from Minnesota and others have all
been earnestly laboring to secure a report,
because their people are demanding it. Yet,
Mr. President, we have been unable to se
cure one, and now today we are told that
there has not been time for "due consider
aton." I have consulted with the friends of this
measure, and we have concluded that, in
view of the fact that probauly we cannot
eret this amendment, although we could
probably prevent the passase of the main
resolution, and we have no disposition to
do that. If we can get fair treatment for
the bill at the next session, we wiil with
draw the amendment. I understand the
Senator from West Virginia, as- chairman of
the committee on interstate commerce, is
willing to agree that before adjournment
for the Christmas holidays at the next
session of Congress he will see that this
bill is reported to the Senate. If the Sena
tor, will do that, I know, or at least I feel,
that we can look forward with confidence
to its passage, because I .believe the Senate
will pass this measure when it comes
snuarely before it If the Senator from
tVfcst Virginia is willing to give us that as
surance. -so far as 1 am concernea ana tne
other Senators who are friendly to this
measure, who have been taking the same
earnest part and seeking to get it reported
agree with me I shail be perfectly willing
to withdraw the amendment lor tne pres
ent.
Elkins' quulitlea 1 -remise.
Mr. Elkins Mr. President, the committee
on Interstate commerce have had this
amendment in the form of a bill under most
careful consideration and have taken some
testimony upon the Bubject. I liave talked
with seme members of the committee, and
I think I can safely say that we can se
cure action on the bill before the next
Christmas holidays. Of course I have not
been able to canvass the entire committee;
and In saying this I do not commit the com
mittee or :iny of its members as to the kind
of report, but I think we can reach a con
. elusion on the bill.
Mr. Fulton Mr. President, I think I
know the kind of report that will come,
but what I want is a report.
Mr. Carter I understood the Senator
from Oregon to call upon the Senator from
West Virginia to give to him assurance,
upon which the Senator from Oregon and
ttiose believing with him could rely, that a
report favorable or unfavorable, on this
amendment would be made by the com
mittee on Interstate commerce before the
adjournment for the Christmas holidays in
the second session of the Sixtieth Con
gress. Insist on Tying Him Down,
Mr. Fulton That Is the statement I
made', and that, I understand, is the assur-
WILL YOU PAY $10
TO BE A
WELL MAN?

ping away? Are you weak, nervous, fretful and
gloomy, have pains and aches In different parts of
the body, your sleep disturbed, weak back, head
ache, despondency, melancholia, palpitation of
the heart, unable to concentrate your thoughts,
poor memory, easily fatigued, specks before the
eyes, aversion to society, lack of ambition, will

culation, feel cold, lifeless and worn out, pri
marily Induced In many cases through aL uses, ex
cesses, overwork, etc.? If so, then I warn you.
. Do not delay longer.
The methods I devised 20 years ago for treat
ing men's diseases proved a radical step in medi
cal science. Those methods have enabled me to
cure diseases that were formerly regarded as in
curable. In working out mv methods I held the
theory that "WEAKNESS," for Instance, was not
a constitutional or functional ailment, but a pros
tatic affection, and therefore merely local. I
reasoned that its constitutional effects were sim
ply the results of a tremendous waste of energy
due to Inflammation of the prostate gland; that
this being true, a local treatment could alone
effect a cure. Thereupon I devised the treatment
I employ today with such marked success. In
deed, I have never known this treatment to fall
to effect a complete and permanent cure in a
comparatively short time.
My treatment for other diseases peculiar to men is also along original
lines, and is equally successful. Hence I reiterate that no man need be
WEAK AND AILING. My Special Treatment is an ouen door to manly
vigor and all the pleasures that belong to perfect health. Any man may
avail himself of my services. It has been and Is my life's work to aid
afflicted men, alleviate their sufferings and restore them to health and
vigor. I have therefore placed the charge for my services within the
easy reach of any man, no matter what his circumstances. To PROVE
my confidence in the results of my treatment, and as an act of good faith,
1 WrLL WAIT FOR MY FEE UNTIL YOU ARE CURED. No man could
be fairer than that. I take all the risk. You take none whatever. You
have everything to gain and absolutely nothing to lose.
Delay Is Dangerous
Men whose vitality is exhausted, those who have some private dlscass
or weakness lurking in their system, and who are prematurely old. while
still young in years broken-down wrecks of what they ought to be, and
who want to be strong, and to feel as vigorous as they did before they
waste! their strength, to enjoy life again, to win back the. vim, vigor
and vitality lost, should consult with me before It is too lte.
My Direct Method-Treatment Offers a
Positive Cure for Every Ailing
Man I Cure "Weakness"
"Weakness" is not a nervous disorder, demanding a tonic system of
treatment, but Is merely a symptom of chronic inflammation or conges
tion In tiie prostate gland. This condition exists as a result of early dis
sipation or some improperly treated contracted disorder, and requires
carefully directed local measures only. By my own original methods the
prostate gland is quickly restored to its norma! state, which results In
full and complete return of strength and vigor. My cures are permanent
because the condition responsible for the functional disorder Is entirely
removed, and I am convinced that, by no treatment other than my own
carefully directed local measures Is a radical cure of this ailment pos
sible. Contracted Disorders
The serious results that may follow neplect of contracted diseases
could be scarcely exaggerated. Safety demands an absolutely thorough
cure In the least possible time. I have treated more cases of contracted
disorders than any other physician upon the Pacific Coat. My cures are
thorough and are accomplished In less time than other forms of treat
ment require in producing even doubtful results. I employ remedies of
by own devising, and my treatment Is equally effective In both recent
and chronic cases.
I also permanently cure SPECIFIC BLOOD POTSON, STRICTURE,
NERVO DEBILITATION AND ALL KISFLKX AILMENTS.
Consultation and Diagnosis Free

by him that he made the assurance after
consultation with members of his com

Mr. Fulton That was my understanding.
I ask the Senator from West Virginia If
I am correct?
Mr. Carter T will ask th Senator from
West Virginia if that Is his understanding?
Mr. Elkins This is tying the Senator
from West Virginia pretty close. (Laughter.)
M' Carter That Is what we expected
to do.
Mr. Elkins I am willing, and I hope the
Senator will be content with that. I have
spoken to a majority of the members of

before the holidays at the approaching ses

MEN MADE STRONG
Nature has taken as much pains in forming the
body of the ordinary citizen as an emporor, and
you should be as careful with yours as an emperor
is with his. Science of the present af?e has made
it possible for you to get as goid treatment at
noiulunl cost as an emperor, reKnrilIeK of cost, and
there are times when your system is as hungry
for tho right kind of medicines as for food.
"A merry heart doeth trood like a medicine, but
a broken spirit drieth the bom s." Proverbs 17-22.
If you are older physically than you are in'
years, "spirit broken," despondent, run down and
discouraged, take a hint from the abuve text and
act accordingly. Don't make up your mind to look
after your health by-and-by, for that loads to
never Action corrects mistakes, desjtfiir. and neg
lect Increase them. There is one little epigram
that, if adhered to. will make a man all tliat lie
can ever hope to be in this world in health and
wealth it is to "not put off until tomorrow that which should be done
today.
I take broken-down wrecks of humanity, whether from past In
discretions or whatever cause, and build tliem up as strong as their fel
lows. I MAKE MEN STRONG
enough to succeed in the battles of life, because skill and experience
have taught me how. Don't fool j-our time or money away on body
batteries or electric belts. Men have written me tiiat their testimonials
were used without their consent and were not true. I keep them on
file to protect this statement. You -an get more electricity for a
pennv in a penny-amusement parlor than Is contained in the biggest
body bRttery fake on the market. There are failures in all walks of
life. When a preacher goes wrong lie says the church is composed of
hypocrites; when a lawyer is a failure he attributes it to anything but
a lack of brains. When some doctors are no good electricity streams

and serious. If vou get cured of an ailment you want it to be a real
cure and a lasting cure. If a doctor isable to do this he is willing to
wait for his pay until you are cured. Tiiat is our plan, but It Is not the
plan of any electric-belt agency in this country and the icason Is plain.
