When anked what would be the result
yhotihl the subsidy amendment be re
tained in the bill, F. S. Samuels
manager of the Oceanic Steamship
Company, said: ' '
"Whether we will resume ''running
vessels to Australia and carry the
mails cannot be determined for a time,
'Australia and New Zealand have mad
other contracts for carrying the mail
since we discontinued, and we do not
know at present whether we could get
that business again."
Adolph J. Frey, assistant to th
vice-president and general manager of
the Facific Mail Company, the Jap
nese and China line, said there was
little prospect of the Pacific Mai
availing itself of any increased allow
nee, chiefly because of the difficulty
of securing crews composed largely
of Americans as the law would re
quire, at a rate of wages permitting
of any profit.
IMPORT MOTHERS.
Nine Out of Ten Babies Have For
elgn Parents.
NEW YORK, May 23 The start
ling discovery has just been made that
( the great majority of mothers in
New York are imported 'ro,n tnc
old world. While the city has been
congratulating itself on the large in
crease in births, the fact has been
overlooked that nine out of ten of
the babies are the children of parents
whose arrival in this country is com
p.irativcly recent. Investigation has
.shown that in twenty-eight blocks
surrounding the most fashionable and
exclusive part of Fifth Avenue only
thirty-seven babies arrived during the
past year, On the crowded East
Side, however, with its population
chiefly of foreign birth, no less than
314 babies were born during the same
period in an equal area.. In this baby
census is found corroboration of the
..surprising charge that the great ma
rity ot the city s mothers come
from abroad.. It is often said Jthat
New York is an un-American city
and if the ratio of births among na-
tivesand foreigners continues as at
present there is every indication that
so far as the makeup of its population
goes it will become still more com
plctely a foreign community, At the
present rate of increase, with nine
out of every ten babies born of for
eign parents, the real American ele
ment in this city bids fair to become
even less than a submerged tenth.
Biliousness and Constipation.
For years I was troubled with bil
iousness and constipation, which made
life miserable for me.' My appetite
failed me. I lost my usual force and
vitality. Pepsin preparations and
cathartics only made matters worse.
1 do not know where I should have
been today had I not tried Chamber
lain's Stomach and Liver Tablets.
The tablets relieve the ill feeling at
once, strengthen the digestive func
tions, purify the stomach, liver and
blood, helping the system to do its

MOVE LARGE STRUCTURES.
Surprising Feats Dont in. Moving
Buildings.
NEW YORK, May 23.-Neir York
has witnessed some surprising feats
in the way of moving large structures
within the past few years, When it
became necessary to move a sky
scraper in ordi'r to make way for the
new Times Building in Longacre
Square, the building was taken apart,
removed to a new site and set up
again, , The same thing was done
with Dr. Parkhurst's church' when it
was forced to give way to the lofty
"Metropolitan tower, and the church
i now serving as a Hebrew synago
gue in Harlem, More remarkable
still, however, was the task success
fully accomplished this week of mov
ing one of the city's many bridges.
This was a big drawbridge across the
Harlem. Instead of taking it "apart
as has been done in the case of build
ings which were removed, the bridge
was lifted bodily from its piers, car
ried about an eighth of a mile down
the river on barges and set up on new
foundations all within the course of a
few hours. The preparations for the
work had been going on for several
months but the actual moving which
was accomplished by building up sup
ports on a number of barges directly
beneath the bridge, lifting the struc
ture frort it former foundations to
the "temporary ones with the aid of
the tide and then floating it down to
its new location was completed in a
single day,.
PORTLAND BEAUTIFUL
CONGRESS
SESSION
Many Important Questions Pre
sented and Discussed
EMERGENCY CURRENCY BILL
'i I, .'.n ,. , ,
Numerous Bills Affecting Labor In
troducedAn Appropriation Made
for the Construction of Two Battle
ahips Labor Matters Have Failed.
Good Streets Being Made Through'
out Oregon.
PORTLAND, May 23.-Thc beaut
ful spring weather that is being en
joyed everywhere in Oregon is suf
nciciit to make every man, woman
and child in every village, town and
city, and upon every farm, feel as
though theirs was the .best place in
the wide, wide world to live.
Street paving and hard surface pav
ing of the metropolitan type has be
come the rule throughout the cities
and towns of Oregon. Many hundred
thousand of dollars will be invested
in hard surface pavements in Oregon,
outside of Portland, and during the
present season Portland is doing more
paving than at any time in her history.
A vast area of Klamath, Harney,
Lake, and Malheur Counties, com
prising some three hundred thousand
acres is to be opened for settlement.
Much capital is behind the enterprise
;iud this project must of necessity at
tract enormous attention to that great
portion of Oregon,' which only needs
improved transportation, facilities to
make it one of the most productive
and popular sections of the North
west, and the rapid settlement of these
lands will force the building of the
transportation lines. k
From Astoria to Huntington, and
from Portland to Ashland, the base
ball craze has full hold of the state,
and every vacant lot is being utilized
in preparing for later contests.
One of the greatest attractions of
Rose Festival Week will be the 50-
mile and 100-mile automobile speed
contests to be held during the after
noon of Thursday, June 4. This will
be the greatest racing event ever jicld
on the Pacific Coast; the course lies
east of this city, each lap being 14
miles,' and a grandstand seated 10,000
people has been erected in full view
of the start and finish of the races.
No machines will be allowed to en
ter which are not capable of a speed
of 65 miles per hour. Three magnifi
cent silver trophy cups are offered
for each raceone valued at $500, one
at $250, and four at $100, each. The
entire course will be oiled and in per
fect condition, the roads being closed
to all traffic during the hours of the
aces and guarded by detachments of
the Oregon National Guard. A field
opposite the grandstand will be reserv
ed for the use of anywho may wish
to view the races from automobiles
or carriages, while telephones station
ed at different points will report the
WASHINGTON, May 23. A re
sume of the present session of Con
gress elicits the interesting fact that
there were more important questions
presented to and discussed by Con
grcss on which the public generally or
sections or classes demanded action
than ever before in. its history. A ma
jority of these were of President
Roosevelt's making. Comparatively,
the enactments were few. On the
other hand the aggregate of appro
priations was great and when the final
figures are obtainable is not no
doubted that they will exceed those
of any previous session in times of
peace.
Standing conspicuously above all
other questions with which Congress
dealt was tkf effort tc pass an emer
gency currency bill. Thrust upon the
attention of legislators at the opening
of the session by a financial depres
sion that had not fully subsided, it
was the first big question to be con
sidercd, likewise it was the hardest
to meet and did more to delay ad
journment than any -other measure
I lie Senate and House failed to
agree with the result that a commit
tee of senators and representatives in
Congress whose duty it is to study the
scheme and report at the next session
was the alternative adopted.
Numerous bills affecting labor were
introduced but were of such a char
acter that organized labor was not
heartily behind them and questions
concerning the constitutionality of
many of the measures, in the light of
recent decisions by the supreme court
of the United States raised others.
It is conceded that more legislation
woull have resulted had it have been
for the pefiding elections. This plac
ed the majority in a delicate situa
tion, a fact not overlooked by the
democrats in the house who further
complicated the Republicans' position
by a filibuster to compel the passage
of measures demanded by President
Roosevelt and opposed by a majority
of the Republicans in both branches
of Congress.
There was also enacted a new em
ployers' liability law, replacing the
one declared unconstitutional by the
supreme court and another is pend-
ng providing for the compensation of
government employes in hazardous
occupations who are injured in line
of duty. Other matters of equal or
greater importance to organized la
bor also failed.
These include an anti-injunction
provision for the exemption of or
ganized labor from the treble pen
alty clause of the Sherman anti-trust
law and other amendments to relieve
the labor unions from the operations
of this law.
The construction of four battle
ships was urged in a 'special message
to Congress and a fight for this pnv
gram was led by administration mem
bers of both the Senate and the House
which contest resulted in failure. An
appropriation was made for the con
struction of two batlcships and the
policy of authorizing two each year
was announced by Republican lead
ers, which was generally regarded as
a concession to the president's big
naval program. Authority to name .a
tariff commission and to appoint ex

To Republican Voters
. '..'.,...
AN OVERWHELMING majority of Oregon's
voters by registration have formally declared that
they believe in the principles of the Republican
Party. Let them now 8how tllat are honest
by voting in accordance with their declarations. The1
Oregon election comes before the Republican National
Convention. Let every Republican voter in the Second
Congressional District uphold the honor of the Republican
Party in Oregon and strengthen the influence of Oregon's .
delegation in the National Convention by voting for
H. M. Cake for United States Senator and W. R. Ellis
for Representative in Congress. If either of these Repub
lican nominees fail of election the primary election system
will be discredited and a return of boss rule will be invited.
The good name of Oregon's delegation to the National
Convention will be placed in a humiliating position. For
. the effect it wffl have on the November election it is
imperative that the Republican nominees in the June elec
tion shall be elected by an overwhelming majority. As
a believer in the principles of the Republican Party it is
your duty to be at the polls June 1st, and vote for
Cake and Ellis.
