Note Recovered From Bottom
of Willamette Bears Name
of George .M. Ansley.
DATED FEBRUARY 9, 1905
Bottle, With Ten Feet -"of Copper
AVlre Attached, Is Picked Tfp In
18 Feet Water at Foot of Oak

PORTLAND, Or.. Feb. 9. 1D08. It In rase

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."-

How Doctors Regard Alcoholic Drinks
Excerpt Prom Addresses! 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

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,

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.

It was the largest day in the history
of the county, and when added to the

the trouble reappeared.
1 went to the
doctor and asked
him to explain, so
he told me that
the medicine con

and that I would'
have to keep on
taking It until the
ailment was
cured. I then real

the power of the
drug, and as I
knew of no other
relief I continued
with the medi

SPEC1KIO BLOOD pnianv
Others dose the system with
mineral poisons scarcely less
dangerous than the disease it
self. The best they hope to do
by this treatment is- to keep
the disease from manifesting
its presence upon the surface
of the body. Under my treat
ment the entire system is
cleansed. The last taint of
virus Is destroyed. Every
symptom vanishes to appear
no more. I employ harmless,
blood - cleansing remedies.
They are remedies heretofore
unknown in the treatment of
this disease. They cure by
neutralizing and absolutely
destroying the poison in the
system. Such enres cannot bo

My ability to cure all dis
eases of men both quickly and
thoroughly is merely -a matter

will be a prompt and painless one. My
treatment dissolves the stricture, sub

CONTRACTED DISORDERS.
.To ,Dut partially cure a contracted dis
ease is almost as dangerous as to allow
it , g? untreated. Unless every par

removed, the probability exists that the
d?ea?E wlU dually work its way

J...hedanger of the prostate gland be
coming chronically inflamed, which al
ways brings partial or complete loss of
power. Perhaps twenty-five per cent of
the cases of so-called "weakness" are
a direct result of some improperly treat
ed contracted disease. During the past
twenty years I have treated thousands
of cased of contracted disorders and
have effected an absolutely thorough
and safe cure in each Instance. There
have been no relapses or undesirable
developments whatever, and my pa
