DATED FEBRUARY 9, 1905 Bottle, With Ten Feet -"of Copper AVlre Attached, Is Picked Tfp In 18 Feet Water at Foot of Oak 1 Street by Hugh Brady. PORTLAND, Or.. Feb. 9. 1D08. It In rase I am found, notify mother, Mrs. P. Ansley, general delivery. GEORGE M. ANBLET. P. S. Hard times forced me to thl rash act. Enclosed In a three-ounce bottle, tightly corked and to- which was "at tached ahaut 10 feet of copper wire, the above note was fished out of the "Wil lamette River at the foot of Oak street by the veteran dragger, Hugh Brady. The loose end of the wire was In the form of a slipknot, and may have eas ily been attached to any portion of a body. Both bottle and wire were cov ered with slime. Current directories of Portland and those of 1904 and 1905 do not give the name of either George Ansley or of Mrs. P. Ansley. James W. Ansley, of the Ansley Printing Company, Is au thority for the statement that a fam ily of Ansleys resided at Linnton sev eral years ago, but they could not be located yesterday. The records of miss ing people at the police station do not date back farther than April, 1905. That George M. Ansley committed suicide there is hardly any doubt. The bottle and attached wire were fast to' something at the bottom, and it. re quired considerable force on the part of Brady to dislodge it. Brady was dragging In front of the Oak street dock for two trucks which were lost overboard from a river steamer. In IS feet of water, on a gravel bottom, he pU;ked .up the wire to which was at tached the bottle containing the mes sage. The bottle was not a floater, as would have been the case had any one attempted a hoax. With the wire at tached It would have been impossible for It to float, unless It reached the surface by being attached to a floating body or picked up by a drag, "The bottle was well lashed and corked," said Mr. Brady yesterday. "I picked the wire up once and let It go. The second time I took It Into the boat and examined the bottle. When I first made a haul on the drag It held fast, as if attached to some heavy weight."- CROYDOX REACHES PORTLAND British Steamship Will Carry lum ber to Manila and Calcutta.

Before the American Association for the Stndv and Cure of Inebriety and Alcoholism In WashlnKtoa, O. C. This, we,k Universal Condemnation ef Alcohol an a Bmnige. Henry O. Morey, M. D., L. L. d., Bos ton, ex-president American Medical As sociation The rapid change of pub lic sentiment favorable to most radical measures for the suppression and con trol of the sale of alcohol, as a bev erage is not a mere sentiment or the ory, but a deep felling of alarm and recognition of the Influence of alco hol in Intensifying and increasing the social perils of home life and good government. Medical and hygienic study based on statistics and mortality tables indicate that alcohol as a beverage is a most active cause of degeneration and dis ease among the colored and Illiterate class of the South. The unrestrained use of alcohol Is literally anarchy in which life and property are in con stant peril. Dancrerooa and Uncertain Drag. Dr. Howard A. Kelly, profesor of Diseases of Women, Johns Hopkins University The alcoholic problem In everyday life is becoming more and. more aparent in the diseases, degenera tions and injuries which are traceable directly to the use of alcohol. Every thoughtful physician must rec ognize that alcohol as a beverage, and even as a medicine, has an unknown danger that may come into prominence In a great variety of diseases and con ditions. Every day's experience, brings out this fact, and while we are not always able to trace the connection, there is great certainty that it exists, and that alcohol is a dangerous and uncertain drug, and as a beverage it should have no place in healthy normal living. Scars and Taints Race Stock. Dr. C. H. Hughes, editor Journal Alienists and Neurologists Alcohol scars and taints 'race stock with as much certainty as does syphilis or tuberculosis. The damaged brain and depraved blood extends far down into the future, and like the mud of the Missouri, colors the waters of the river far below where It enters. Heredity is not a theory, but 'a fact which can be seen with great distinct ness. Eighty per cent of the children of drinking parents show the degener ations that are transmitted in differ ent forms and conditions. More Dangerous Than Insane. Dr. L D. Mason, vice-president Amer ican Society for the Study of Alcohol and Other Narcotics The inebriate of all defective classes needs legal care and control. He is more dangerous than the insane, and more degenerate and destructive in his Influence than the criminal and pauper. Experience has proven that the Inebriate must be seg regated in special hospitals and colony homes to be cured. Such hospitals must be managed on a military plan and the Inmates must contribute toward its support by man ual work, and each one must be held responsible by rewards and punish ments. Such hospitals mn:; be built by the state, and patients committed to them for a long time. Relic of Barbarous Times. Dr. B. C Keister. superintendent of the Home Sanatorium, Roanoke, Va. Modern laboratory research and clinical experience deny the tonic and stim ulant value of alcohol. Every test with instruments of precision show that its action ie that of an anaesthetic and narcotic. Theories held a few years ago as correct are now found to be erroneous. Alcohol, like every other drug in com mon use, is found by science to be useless, except as a narcotic Alcohol as a beverage is a relic of barbarous times. Intoxication Literal Insanity. Dr. Albert Gordon, professor of Men tal and Nervous Diseases, Jefferson Medical College No one who uses spirits to excess can be considered sane and responsible. He Is paralvxed both mentally and morally. The degree of this must be settled by a study of the facts. The attempt to draw divid THE SUNDAY SPOKANE CENTER OF RIJAD BUILDING Within 150,000 Square Miles, 3000 Miles of Railroad Are Building. OTHER- LINES PROPOSED Electric Lines Help to Increase Net work of Railroads in Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho and Ifltontana. SPOKANE, Wash., March 20. (Spe cial.) More miles of railway lines are under construction in the Inland. Em pire, taking in 150,000 square miles of territory in Eastern Washington, Northern Idaho, Western Montana, Northeastern Oregon and Southeastern British Columbia, than In any other similar area on this continent. The mileage in Washington alone is 1500, and the works in the other three states and province mentioned will bring the total to 3000. Approximately 650 miles of line was built in Montana last year, when that state headed the list in the Union for new work. There are at present 4695 miles of main lines, branches, yard tracks and sidings in Washington, which wai second with between 500 and 600 miles built in 1908. The completion of the main line of the Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget Sound Railway will add as much more. In addition to this, approximately 1100 miles of steam and electric lines are projected to be completed before 1911. State Network of Railroads. Steam roads now in operation in the Inland Empire are the Great Northern, Northern Pacific, Chicago, Burlington & Qulncy, Spokane Falls & Northern (Hill property), Spokane International (Canadian Pacific system), Oregon Railroad & Navigation Company (Har rlman system). Central Washington, Idaho & Washington Northern. Robert E. Strahorn, president of the North Coast Railway Company, building from Spokane to the Sound, announces it will be part of a transcontinental sys tem, the name of which he will not give out at present. The Canadian Pacific also will be extended from Spokane to the Pacific Coast. These lines make Spokane the greatest railroad center west of the Missouri River. Canadian Pacific Enters. In addition to these activities it Is .un- ing lines between sanity and insanity is unreal and unscientific. Intoxica tion Is literally insanity and irresponsi bility under any circumstances and will be so regarded in the future. Alcohol a Poison. Dr. G. H. Benton, superintendent Sterling-Worth Sanatorium Modern research has proven beyond donbt that Inebriety is very largely the result of poisons Introduced from without and manufactured within the -body. - These poisons destroy cell growth and nutri tion and hreair im tb nnt-ni eration of vital forces. Alcohol is a loxiii, xnat is constantly changing, not only absorbing the water of . the body but deranging cell material, and fur nishing soil for the growth of bacte ria of a poisonous character. The inebriate is literally a laboratory where all sorts of germ poisons are continually growing and destroying. The more spirits used, the more de rangement and weakening of vital en ergies. Inebriety Curable and Preventable. JDr. Arthur MacDonald, specialist in the study of criminals and paupers Washington, D. C. Inebriety must be studied by scientific means and meas ures before we can apply remedies of any value. That It is curable and pre ventable are facts beyond question. The remedies and means of prevention must not be theories or sentiments. No evil is greater in this country because about it gather and grow vast tides of pauperism and criminality which can be overcome by exact treat ment of inebriates. First find what the exact nature of his disease. Then break up the breeding places, and the problem is settled. Health and Sanitary Question. TPr-. George W. Webster, president Illinois state Board of Health The alcoholic problem is more important than tuberculosis because it costs more lives and money. It costs the United States in direct money over two billion dollars. It causes directly and indirectly at least 10 per cent of all deaths in the United States. It predisposes- to infection, destroys acquired immunity, prevents the occur rence of artificial Immunity, lowers vi tality and increases mortality in all diseases and In surgical operations It lessens the power of individuals to resist the injurious influences of extreme heat and cold. It causes deterioration of the quality of mental work. It diminishes the power to withstand fatigue and lessens the efficiency of the individual. It should always be classified as a poison and never as a food or stimu lant. It is a public health and sanitary question, and not a moral one, but should be treated the same as fevers smallpox and malaria and by scientific men alone. The alcoholic problem Is a medical one, and can only be eplved when stud ied from a scientific point of view. Effect on the Stomach. Dr. D. H. Kress, superintendent Ta koma Park Sanatorium, Washington D. C. Functional and organic disturb ances of the stomach are both a cause and effect of using alcohol. All forms of alcohol are dangerous remedies for stomach troubles. While quieting the pain and discomfort for the time, it creates new sources of ex haustion and derangement. All per sons who use spirits have stomach troubles, and many remedies for the stomach containing alcohol act as nar cotics, covering up the disorder. Alcohol acts on the appetite and di gestion, diminishing the nutrition of the body, and no nervous persons should ever use alcohol in any form as a remedy or beverage. All forms of spirits at meals are in jurious, and this is a physiological fact above all theories. Spirit remedies for stomach diseases are contradicted ly scientific research and shown to be most dangerous. OREGOXIAX, PORTLAXD, ' 1 . ' T officially announced that the Canadian T. i i irtl . iu me -xLiiwauKee systems will be connected by a new line to be built from the Canadian boundary 'south down the Flathead Valley to Kalispell, Mont-, and from a point on the Milwaukee north to that city. With this stretch of road. 60 miles north of Kalispell and 70 miles south, the Milwaukee will be able to reach the coal fields in British Columbia, and the Canadian Pacific road will find an outlet traversed by the Milwaukee's Coast line for lumber and coal products on its lines north of the international boundary. There are reasons to believe that the Canadian Paciiic will be a factor in the Inland Empire. The company already has entrance to Spokane over the Spokane International line, built by D. c. Corbln. of Spokane, and it is now stated that a further extension will be obtained to Portland over the Oregon. Railroad & Navigation Company's lines. While this will cut into the Hill, Harriman and Earling territory, there 1b enough busi ness in sight for all. North Bank Gives Outlet.. Economy of operation and facility In handling freight from the East to South western. Washington and Western Oregon by way of Spokane have been greatly pro moted by the opening of the Spokane, Portland & Seattle line along the Colum bia River, giving an outlet over prac tically water grades for traffic which for merly went over the Northern Paclfio and the Great Northern lines. C. B. Pride, hydraulic engineer of the Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget Sound Rail way, says that contracts will be award ed shortly for two electric power plants In the Bitter Root Mountains to furnish power for the operation of more than 100 miles of line on the Idaho division, be tween St. Joe, Idaho, and St. Regis, Mont. The plants, which will, as at first con structed, furnish 30.000 horsepower, are to be on the St. Joe River at St. Joe. Idaho, and on the Missoula River, 40 miles below Missoula.-Mont. The grades and curvea are heavy, the former ranging from 2 to 4 per cent. Several other possible power sites have been located, and if It is deemed advisable later to install elec trical operation over a great portion of the road additional plants can be estab lished. Other Roads Proposed. There are numerous other electric rail way projects, one of these being a pas senger and freight line from Nlghthawk to Brewster, Wash, by the Okanogan Electric Railway Company, headed by Colonel Albert M. Dewey, of Spokane. 1 Ine involves an expenditure of $2, 600 000 The Big Bend Transit Company will also build a line to penetrate the Big Bend wheat belt, west of Spokane, at a cost of $3,000,000. GREAT SHOWING IS MADE TOTAL TAXES UNPAID AMOUNTS TO BUT $998,400.43. I-ast Day -of Rebate, $ 1 ,4 1 0,4C 8.3 0 Was Paid In, Making Total of $8,593,096.74. Multnomah County taxpayers paid in the sum of 11.410,428.30 between the hours of 8 A. M. and midnight of last Monday, the last day of the rebate period. This amaring total was se cured when the days receipts were in form for footing tip yesterday by S. B. Martin, chief deputy in the tax collect ing department of the Sheriff's office. It was the largest day in the history of the county, and when added to the previous receipts brings the total col lections to 3,59S,096.7. Thus, with a tax roll of J4.681.497.17, the tots! amount of taxes remaining to be paid show, S98-S- This is a exceptional showing and bespeaks wide prosperity among the taxpayers. Heretofore the 1,000.000 to be collected, and with a much smaller taxroll to work upon. ..?ce MondaT additional sum of ZO,000 has been remitted in first half payments. No rebate is allowed, but those who. do not pay at least the first !?J?y ApU 6 wlU f,nd themselves confronted by a penalty of 10 per cent. Those who have not yet paid on their household furniture should attend to the matter at once. Mr. Martin urges as It will mean a considerable saving oyer the size of the bill when the pen alty period sets in. HOPE IN MALHEUR PROJECT Petitions Forwarded That Work Again Be Taken Up.
