UNLUCKY OCEANO.
Yesterday's Orcgonian has the follow
ing atient the unlucky Oceano:
"For the third time within the past
two weeks it has been necessary to
place the British steamship Oceano on
the drydock at St, John'. When floated
yestvrUay atyrn(on i wir belies, ed
that the repair work which had been
don to her would answer the require
ments, but no sooner had she touched
the water than she began to leak. She
was again raised and an effort will be
made U get her in a seaworthy con
dition tomorrow-.
"While being towed to the quarantine
station at Astoria less than a month
ago the Oceano went aground and dam
aged one side of her hull so badly that
she was ordered to go into tlie drydock
and have three of her steel plates re
placed with new ones. The St. Johns
Shipbuilding Company was awarded the
contract for doing the work. After the
repair had been made the steamer was
lowered into the river and it is said
that water poured in in steady streams
through the rivet hole. Bumps had to
he kept in operation for afonil eight
hours.
"She was again raised the next morn
ing and the Willamette Iron A Steel
Work was called on to make the re
pair. The contract was rushed with all
possible haste as the shipper was anx
ious to get the steamer in shape to
begin loading wheat and tlour for Ja
pan. It was announced yesterday that
she was ready to be taken from the
dock and that she would le in Portland
harbor in the afternoon. But it turned
out that the repair work was again
faulty and the big tramp had to go
back on the pontoons for the third
time. The Oceano is under charter to
Mitsui & Co., and if he is not soon put
in shape to receive cargo it is believed
that the firm will hiake arrangements
to get another vessel."

A dispatch from Victoria, B. C. says

W. It. Mcintosh, whose place of resi
lience is at .Mi.'i Harrison avenue, says:
"For years I suffered very much from
lameness and soreness across the small
of my back. To turn in bed gave me
painful twinges and when I was not
working but simply standing around
there was a constant aching over my
hips. The kidney secretions gave me no
end of trouble. I often thought I hal
gravel wo painful were the secretions in
passing, I read about Doan's Kidney
Pills and got a box at Charles lingers'
drug store on Commercial street On
taking them I soon noticed an improve
ment in my condition and the pain
across my hack was soon wonderfully
relieved. Though I did not take Doan's
Kidney Pills aa regularly as I should
have done they did me a great deal of
