THE ST7XDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTXAXD, AUGUST 8, 1905. 8 HILL LINES AFTER TRADE CALIFORNIA North Bank Railroad Agrees on Through Rates With Steamship Line. BUSINESS TO BE DEVELOPED North Pacific Steamship Company Will Handle Water End Tariff Sheets) Submitted to Interstate Commerce Commission. By agreement with the North Pacific Steamship Company, the Hill railroads have secured traffic connections with San Francisco through the-Portland gate tray. The announcement of the new arrange ment was made yesterday by H. M. Adams, general manager of the North Bank Road. The North Pacific Steamship Company now operates the steamships Geo. W. Elder and Roanoke between Portland, Eureka, San Francisco and San Pedro, giving a weekly service. With the rail road announcement comes the further statement that while for the present there will be no Increased schedule in the op eration of the steamships, other vessels wil be added If the business Justifies. The tariff sheets providing for put ting Into effect the new agreement are now In preparation and will have been printed and be ready for submission to the Interstate Commerce Commission within two or three weeks. Already the railroad company has applied to the Commission for permission to place in effect the rates without awaiting the expiration of the 30 days' time limit and if this concession Is granted the new arrangement will be In force about September 1. By this agreement for the exchange of freight and passenger traffic not only do the Hill lines make a new encroachment on Harriman California territory, but Portland for the first time becomes the transshlping point for California traffic destined to or from points on the Hill lines. The Hill roads now have a traffic arrangement with the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, operating steamers between Puget Sound ports and San Francisco. San Francisco freight des tined to Spokane and other points east on the Northern Pacific. Great North era and their eastern connections and for points on the Spokane & Inland Em pire Railroad, heretofore has taken the roundabout route to Tacoma or Seattle and has there been transferred to the railroads. The new arrangement gives the Hill roads a cross-lots route to these points. The through rates will apply from San Francisco to all points east of Port land on the North Bank. Great North ern. Northern Pacific, Spokane &. In land Empire, and their eastern connec tions. These rates will be the same as those In existence between San Francisco and common points on the HiU roads via Puget Sound. Shorter hauls and a wa ter grade line. It Is expected, will divert much of the California traffic now go ing via Puget Sound to points east of Spokane so that Portland will become the main transhipping port for the Hill California business. So far aa now Indicated there will be no cutting of rates with the opening of the new competitive shipping route. In the matter of rates Portland will still enjoy Its present advantages over San Francisco in Its own Jobbing territory, but new facilities are offered to points east of Spokane on the Hill roads that may make the fight for California busi ness Interesting between the Hill and Harriman systems.

(Special.) "That Porter Bros, and those associat ed with them in controlling the Oregon Trunk road are supplying the large amount of money required to oppose Mr. Harriman Is extremely Improbable. That Mr. Hill Is the man behind the thron is most probable," is the opinion of a Van couver man who Is watching the situation In Oregon. "Most persons living In this section three or four years ago will remember the opposition of Mr. Harriman to Mr. Hill in the building of the North Bank road, and some would attribute the oppo sition to Mr. Harriman at this time to a desire on Mr. Hill's part to 'get even." Railroad conditions and happenings eince the North Bank controversy was termi nated would rather tend to another con clusion, and that is that Mr. Harriman has wrested the Northern Pacific Railway Company from the control of Mr. Hill, and that the time is not yet ripe for mak ing an announcement of that fact, or of assuming control of the road. "The reasons for this conclusion may be Slimmed up as follows: "It is announced that the Union Pacific Is to operate trains over the Northern Pa cific track between Vancouver and Ta coma. Had the right to operate trains been accorded to the Union Pacific at the bands of the Northern Pacific, in return for favors to the latter. It is fair to as sume that the Northern Pacific would have demanded. In return for the track age privileges accorded, a settlement of the terminal dispute In Portland. There has been no announcement of the adjust ment of the terminal dispute, and all in dications point otherwise. No other con cession Mr. Harriman could have made can compare with the terminal question In Its importance to the Northern Pacific and Great Northern. It may then be as sumed that the trackage privilege over the Northern Pacific was accorded be cause Mr. Hill could not prevent it, which leads to but one conclusion, and that Is that Mr. Harriman has acquired control of the Northern Pacific "Again, it was announced three years ago, during the North Bank controversy, both In the newspapers and in the court k vnrtii Rank officers, that this road was being built by the Great Northern and Northern Pacific jointly, eacn oi saiu Kinir owner of one-half of the stock of the North Bank. This arrange ment would give neither or tnese roans control of the North Bank between Spo kane and Vancouver. This joint owner riiin k.i not work-en smoothly. By ob serving the traffic on the road, we note that very little business is oeing none. "It is reported that Mr. Hill some time ma,40 a nrnnnsltinn to the trustees of the North Bank line to lease that road to the Great Northern for a term or -j-j ..,..,,-, anH tbot the trustees of the Spo- i ' T5-i . ,iH A a0-TfiA Railroad refused to consider the proposition. Now, with Mr. Hill in control or. me urem o.mc.u and Northern Pacific, and these two roads . 4 ..... Anme of thn North Bank road. any arrangement desired by Mr. Hill ought to be forthcoming. This leads again to the conclusion that Jwr. run nas iusi r th Northern Pacific, and through that loss Is not able now to con trol the North Bank. "The passage of trie control or me xvrth. Pooifle from Mr Hill's hands would account for activity on his part In Invading Oregon by way of the Deschutes Canyon, with the view or ultimately tap ping California and reaching San Fran cisco.

Original Methods I depend upon nobody's theories, but treat my patients in the light of my own knowledge and experience. There Is not another physician or , specialist anywhere who treats men's diseases as I treat them. This is a fact that should be duly considered by those who have repeatedly been disappointed in their efforts to ob tain a cure. In no other branch of practice has medical science so lagged and the fonms of treatment now commonly employed among the professions are largely based upon theories that have been handed down through generations of doctors. An evidence of thlB is the prevalent in ability to successfully cope with . several of those ailments peculiar to men. All medicines are prepared in my own private laboratory and are ab solutely fr6sh and pure. MEN ONLY I have learned Nature's laws ap plying to their cause and cure. Through this knowledge I have per fected forms of treatment wholly original and distinctive. Every re quirement for a thorough cure Is sci entifically met, and as a result I am able to completely master cases com monly regarded as Incurable. I es pecially invite those who have been long afflicted to consult me. My success in curing difficult cases has brought my marvelous growth of practice and made me the foremost specialist treating men's diseases. DR. TAYLOR, The Leading Specialist. tr., ...InmBnl tnv V-RftV WOflt fill abies me to make a most thorough and scientific diagnosis. 3 WEAKNESS. I am confident that I have cured more cases of so - called "weakness" than any other phy sician. There may be doctors In the large Eastern cities who have treated more cases than I, but they cling to the old and lneffect lve practice of dosing with tonics. "Weakness" Is merely a symptom of local disorder that requires local treatment. This Is a truth that I have discovered, and that has been fully established by my success in effecting permanent cures. My method Is original with , myself and is employed by no other physician. FREE! CONSULTATION. To Judge my ability without personal consultation may be an injustice to yourself that will cost a lifetime of suffering. Consulta tion is free and confidential and you place yourself under no obli gation to me whatever by coming to talk, with me about your case. VARICOSE VELSS. Under my treatment the most aggravated cases of varicose veins are cured In a few days' time. There is no pain, and it is seldom necessary that the patient be detained from his occupation. Normal circulation is at once re stored throughout all the organs and their natural processes of waste and repair are again estab lished. If you are afflicted with varicose veins, consult me at once. Delay can but bring on aggravat ed conditions and nervous compli cations that will impair the vital functions and Involve the general health. No other physician employs a like treatment, and so thorough is my work tat there need not be the slightest fear of a relapse Into old conditions. CONTRACTED DISORDERS. To but partially cure a con tracted disease is almost as dan gerous as to allow it to go un treated. Unless every particle is removed, the probability exists that the disease will gradually work its way into the general sys tem. SU11 greater is the danger of the prostate gland becoming chronically inflamed, which al ways brings partial or complete loss of vitality. Perhaps 25 per tent of the cases of so - called "weakness" are a direct result of some improperly treated contract ed disease. During the past 25 years I have treated thousands of cases of contracted disorders and have effected an absolutely thor ough and safe cure in each in stance. There have been no re lapses or undesirable develop ments whatever, and my patients have been cured In less time than other and less thorough forms of treatment require in producing even doubtful results. , OFFICES OPEN ALL DAY FROM. 9 A.

As head of this company I have re peatedly offered large sums for proof of such cures, and such proof would be worth tons of argument these claims are fatuous absurdity. This ailment can be cured by go ing to a hospital for operation, but such a procedure entails the use of chloroform, nurse hire, big expense and loss of time. There is Just one Sensible Practical Way to cure this ailment, and it Is tho best, safest and most successful; does not Involve a single objection ' able feature, no going to bed, no pain, no chloroform and positively aa bad results. The patient can resume any kind of hard work after seven to eight days, and is not required to even stay in hie room during this time. The organs axe at once re lieved of tax, normal circulation is promptly reestablished and the pa tient restored to a condition of Health, Snap and Vitality If you want a real, prompt, per fect and reliable cure without pain or confinement to your room, is it not about time to commence look ing at the logical, practical and plain fact side of it? If I could be paid one-half the money that is spent on these fake electrical ap pliances, that positively never cured a single well-developed case in a hundred years, I would be willing to treat and cure every case or vari cose Veins In the state free. Prejudice from one cause or an other prevents many men from doing their duty toward themselves In this respect. Prejudice is an unreason able and a stout enemy to overcome, but If men do not overcome it, it will overcome them and blind them to great benefits in more ways than one. Punishment from neglect of duty sometimes oomes slowly, but it comes as surely as wilful neglect brings woeful regret- NOT A DOLLAR NEED BE PAID UNLESS CURED Men's Disorders and None Other My specialty, besides being limited to men only, is confined to less than a dozen ailments. But of each ail ment I have handled many thou sand cases. My reputation has been built upon my ability to cure those that others could not cure. Inas much as I do not accept for treat ment any case that I am -not abso lutely positive can be given a per fect and permanent cure, I am able to offer my services on a basis that no other Specialist can. Man's Manhood Dethroned In early youth. Just when pu berty is reached, at the age boy hood is changing to manhood, ignor ance and folly have done their fa tal work. It Is here the nervous system Is weakened and the mind loses its power to resist temptation. It is here manhood is dethroned. By years of patient study and ob servation at home and in foreign hospitals In all forms and classes of CHRONIC AND NERVOUS DIS EASES, I have evolved a method of curing these diseases which has met with the approval and sanction of all the leading specialists on nervous diseases of America, and their ( vote of thanks as a body Is hut a small token of their esteem and apprecia tion of the researches and many val uable discoveries made by me. My New Methods My New Method treatment gives old men the vigor of youth, makes middle-aged men strong as the youth, makes young men strong and revitalizes the nerves when ex hausted from overwork or worry. It cures nervous decline and debil ity of man. difficult in concentrat ing your thoughts, and the whole train of symptoms that result from the above causes. Kidney, Bladder and Urinary Diseases The functions of these organs are tha most important of the body, and the derangement or obstruction of them Is fraught with the most disastrous consequences. It Is of the highest importance that whenever there is reason to suspect that the kidneys, bladder, or prostate are out of order, a diagnosis of a searching and scientific character should be made. Too often these examinations are superficial, hasty and made with Inadequate testing methods, and the consequence Is that the pa tient is frequently lulled into a feel ing of safety, to realize when too late that he is in the clutches of a deadly disease. If you have any of the symptoms of disease of the kid neys, bladder or prostate, such as pain In the back, difficult or fre quent urination, smarting, burning or straining, dull aching or throbbing sensation in the bladder, headaches, dizziness, sleeplessness, tired feel ing, cold hands and feet, puffiness of the eyes and face, swollen ank les, difficult breathing, palpitation of the heart, come before it is too late. . My study and extensive practice In the treatment of all forms of Kidney, Bladder and all Urinary Troubles have familiarized me to the extent that I have attained skill, which insures successful treatment in all cases not absolutely incur able. I determine the condition by a scientific analysis of urine, and the severe genito-urinary . troubles I have cured by my systematic course of treatment after being unsuccess fully treated . by other specialists, gives me such confidence In my method to assure you a cure. My consultation and advice is al ways free, whether you take treat ment or not If you cannot call at office, write for self-examination blank. Many cases cured at home. Office hours 9 A. M. to 8 P.
