SERVICE ON PU6ET SOUND i i i Craft Is Owned by Spokane, Port- J land & Seattle Railway and Is i Now Tied Up at Vancouver. X'ews of Waterfront. Oaptaln Sutherland, of Seattle, made an offer yesterday to the Spokane, Portland & Seattle Railway officials for the pur chase of the tug Cruiser, now tied up at Vancouver. Wash. The boat has been offered for eale but the figure demanded Tvas in excesa of what Captain Sutherland .was willing to pay. The matter has been referred to Superintendent McDonald and will probably be settled tomorrow. The Cruiser was used as a tender . during the construction of the Willamette River bridfre. Since the completion of that structure, she has been idle. The Cruiser Is a propeller craft and was built at North Bend and was later used as a bar tug at Grays Harbor. In case she Is purchased by Captain Sutherland, she will be taken to f'uget Sound and placed in commission as a tug.

April, 1900, broke all records in 39 years for deficiency in rainfall. During the 30 days, only .Sfl Indies fell and only on seven days did rain fall. There were even dear days, 12 partly cloudy and 11 cloudy. The next driest month was in 1SR3 when 1.2 Inches of rain fell. The wettest month on record was In 1SS3. "When the precipitation amounted to 7.88 Inches. The average rainfall for April is 3.07 Inches and the deficiency for the sea son, beginning September 1, Is 7.63 Inches. The prevailing dtrection of the wind was from the Northwest and the maxi mum velocity was 35 miles. The big w ind was on the third of the month. The mean temperature was 51 degrees, about normal. Local Forecast official E. A. Beals predicts warmer weather from this time on. He says that all indications point to a rapidly rising thermometer and that the snow in the mountains will melt rapidly. At present the Willamette stands at only six feet above xero. Ordinarily at this season of the year, there is nearly three times that amount. The rivers at Bonners Ferry. Wenatchee and L.ewts ton are stationary with only a two-foot stage. Mr. Beas looks for a rapid rise In the Columbia Steamer Spencer Inspected.

This announce ment was made today by Henry Stim son, who is acting s special attorney lor the Government. Mr. Stimson's statement followed a conference with United States District Attorney "Wise in the latter's office. 'Of course there will be a criminal prosecution of the jruilty persons." Mr. fcUimson declared. "There will be no let up; the case will be prosecuted to a finish. "The corporation has already been punished criminally by the $134,000 penalties imposed." he added, "that was punishment for criminal acts. The other 12,000,000 was restitution of back duties accruing; from the weighing. The thing- for us to do now Is to set at the human being behind the corpora tion, either officer or employe, who has been guilty of criminal acta and punish them. We cannot tell when the prosecution will begin, but it will be as soon aa we get our Testimony ready to present." REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS Hiram Fltzpatrick and wife to Alex ander H.

TOTAL !S $3,328,685.18 Tills Sum Iocs Xot, Include Contin uing Appropriation for Various State Institutions, Taking Large Sums. SALEM. Or., May 1. (Special.) The 1909 session laws, which will be ready for distribution about May 15, will contain an imposing array of appropriation bills. In fact, there will be found more titles In the index under the head of appro priations than under any other subdivi sion. The total amount appropriated reacha3 the enormous total of $3,328,685.18. This does not represent the total cost of the state government, for the reason that many state institutions, such as the Sol diers' Home, O. A. C. and many others have continuing appropriations, which are not recorded in the laws passed by the last session.

Insist on Irish Products, but Gov ernment Threatens to An nul Contracts. DUBLIN. May 1. (Special.) Something like a boycott of British firms and prod ucts is being attempted' in various parts of Ireland, particularly by local author ities. The Dublin Industrial Develop ment Association, which is taking a prominent part in this movement, has requested the public to insist on being served with Irish-made goods, and has advised public boards to give contracts to Irish firms only and to stipulate that articles supplied to them must be of Irish manufacture. At a meeting of the association the other day several Inqui ries were submitted from business houses a to the goods used by unions and asy lumsthe writers stating that the infor mation was required "because public bodies were now making it an essential condition of acceptance of their con tracts that they should be guaranteed Irish and that, as far as possible, the goods should be stamped with the Irish trade-mark." It was suggested that. If local authorities stipulated for Irish goods in their advertisements and tender forms, their acceptance of Irish tenders would not afterwards be open to chal lenge. 4 This view is not shared by the local government board. The Tipperary Guardians adopted the suggestion and their action has been challenged on the ground that the law does not empower them to restrict competition. Unless the restriction is removed, the department states that it may be obliged to refuse recoupment upon the -expenditure and to declare "any of the contracts not prop erly entered Into" to be null and void. Another step in the boycotting move ment is the wholesale transference of In surance business to a recently-formed company which claims to be wholly Irish. It is stated that most public bodies- have already given the company their business and that Its success is as sured. Canadian Cattle Perish. WINNIPEG, Man., May 1.

Address WEAK There's no economy In employing an amateur to do an expert's task. Nine times In ten failure follows. In a large percentage of Instances the result is tiarm. The average physician is an amateur In the treatment of men's diseases. He doesn't treat enough cases to know a great deal about them. His time is so fully occupied in treat ing a full assortment of human ills that he cannot devote special study to any particu lar branch of practice. Most diseases are sufficiently simple as to require no special training other than that received in the medical colleges and that afforded by experi ence In general practice. The more complex and perplexing ailments the family prac titioner seldom cares to treat. My Original Methods Cure Every Case I Take for Treatment I know exactly what to do to effect a thorough cure in, every case that I accept for treatment. Though this issomething that every specialist ought to Know, it is a rare knowledge, indeed. The hundreds of evidences of mistreatment that come beneath my observation prove the general lack of a clear understanding of men's diseases and their treatment. I have devoted 20 years to the study and treatment of the very few ailments constituting my specialty and have acquired the knowledge and 8 '.ill and de veloped the original and scientific methods that enable me to accomplish results such as no other physician anywhere has ever accomplished. I understand my work from first to last, know what to do and what not to do, and treat every case without the slightest idea of failure. I positively confine my practice to the DISEASES OF MEN v I WILL WAIT FOR MY FEE UNTIL Under my treatment, the most aggra vated cases of varicose veins are cured in a few days' time. There is no pain, and it is seldom necessary that the pa tient be detained from his occupation. Normal circulation Is at once restored throughout all the organs, and their natural processes of waste and repair are again established. If you are af flicted with varicose veins, consult me at once. Delay can but bring on ag gravated conditions and nervous com plications that will impair the vital functions and involve the general health. No other physician employs a like treatment, and so thorough is my work that there need not be the slightest ' fear of a relapse Into old conditions. "WEAKNESS," I am confident that I have cured more cases of so-called "weakness" than any other physician. There may be doctors in the large Eastern cities who have treated more cases than I, but they cling to ths old and ineffec tive practice of dosing with tonics. "Weakness" is merely a symptom of local disorder that requires local treat ment. This is a truth that I have dis covered, and that has been fully estab lished by my success in effecting per manent cures. My method is original with myself and is employed by no other physician.

But M. Raoul Pugno has had an offer which must be new even to him and to other virtuosi beloved of the public. A son is proposed to him in pressing terms. In fact, the would?be son, who is just 21, proposes himself. The dream of his life is that Mr. Pugno should become his father. He heard M.

The best they hope to do by this treatment is to keep the disease from manifesting Us presence upon the surface of the body. Under my treat ment, the entire system is cleansed.

Pug no. who seems to have owed it entirely to his pianoforte playing. Is understood to have regretfully declined it. 'Carnegie Gift Causes Trouble. NEW YORK, May 1. This city finds itself facing a problem in carrying out its agreement with Andrew Carnegie to provide sites and books for 78 pub lic libraries for which the ironmaster appropriated $5,000,000. So far the city- has acquired only 45 sites - and will have to acquire 23 . more. Because of the time which has elapsed the cost of labor and building material have gone up and to complete the work Mr. Carnegie finds It necessary to increase his appropriation by about S880.000. Today the city has expended more than JJ, 000, 000 on the work and must snend about $4,000,000, a million more than was expected.

What better proof or more sincere assurance can I offer than that I am willing to wait for my fee until I ef fect a cure? Could I afford to make such an offer if I was not absolutely certain of curing every case I take? My practice has demonstrated that no ailment peculiar to men is incura ble. Failure to cure is usually due to lack of knowledge and improper treat ment. "You may consult me free of charge and learn your exact condition. I will not urge my services, nor will I accept your case unless I am positive of my ability to cure you. CONTRACTED DISORDERS. To but partially cure a contracted disease s almost as dangerous as to allow it to go untreated. Unless every f (article of infection and inflammation s removed, the probability exists that the disease will gradually work its way into the general system. Still greater is the danger of the prostate gland becoming chronically inflamed, which always brings partial or com plete loss of power. Perhaps twenty five per cent of the cases of so-called "weakness" are a direct result of some improperly treated contracted disease. During the past five years I have treated thousands of cases of contract ed disorders and have effected an abso lutely thorough and safe cure in each instance.- There have been no relapses or undesirable developments whatever, and my patients have been cured in less time ttian other and less thorough forms of treatment require in produc ing even doubtful results.

Ability and skill that are time tested and true will live and grow without advertising, and so like wise will holy writ; but a vigorous spread of facts is thoroughly com mendable, notwithstanding all this, and hundreds upon hundreds of afflicted people are being cured every year who would" never have found our offices if it had not been for the means of announce ment through the daily pi'ess and otherwise. We understand, of course, that there is a sort of "Code of Ethics" that we violate in doing this, but every time a per son is cured sound and well by us he or she goes about knocking more holes in this phantom code of eth ics than 100 ethical gentlemen can heal over in years.
