THE SBTSOCK.
Some of the members of the Port of
Portland commission question the au
thority which Engineer Lockwood exer
cised In awarding the contract for the
construction of the power-house at the
drydockv . ,'; -.
They believe that the contract should
have been let at a meeting of the com
mission.
A discussion along this line came up
at an informal gathering of several of
the members of .the board yesterday
afternoon,5 Notices for a special meeting
had been sent out, but only three mem
bers -not enough for a quorum put in
an appearance. A quick adjournment
followed.
Before leaving the hall Commissioners
Thomas and Spencer expressed consider
able surprise that Engineer lock wood
"should have let the contract for the
, building of the power-house. Mr.
Thomas said he was under the imprea
sion that the meeting had been called
for no other-purpose than to dispose of
the matter of letting contracts for the
Improvements at th drydock-site;; He
, was positive that the engineer had ex
ceeded his -u authority somewhat. and
thought It was time to have something
to ay on the subject. j
- Mr. "Spencer was also of the opinion
that the commission should attend to all
work of this kind.
Mr. Willis, however, stated that he
believed the engineer simply carried out
the instructions which had been given
him at a previous meeting.
, By consulting the minutes it was
found that a commission composed of
Engineer" Lockwood and Commissioners
Swigert arid Pease had been appointed
to secure bids and. go ahead with the
construction.
The general misunderstanding which
had arisen over the matter did not ap
pear to be satisfactorily settled, and It
is probable tnat furiuer discussions on
the same subject will ensue.

Santa Clans race.
SOW TO DO XT.
If there s one thing more than- all
others that will give a man a forlorn
and friendless appearance and make him
morbid and "cranky" and disagreeable,
that thing is dyspepsia. It makes one
.forget his friends and become morose
and irritable. He is sq wrapped up in
his misery that he is inconsiderate of
very one else. Relieved of this terrible
and . depressing ailment, he again be
comes a good fellow and a man among
men. ;
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are be
yond question the most effective and
popular remedy ever offered to the suf
ferers of this terrible disease; The
thousands and thousands of cures they
have brought about and the enormous
increase of their sales fully attest the
truth of this statement.
They are, above all. a natural remedy.
They possess exactly the same proper
t es that the gastric Juices and other
digestive fluids of the stomach possess
and they actually do the digestive work
of the stomach and enable that organ
to rest and recuperate and become sound
and well. They act in a mild, natural
manner and cause po disturbance in the
dlKestlve organs. They prevent any
fermentation of the food which causes
your stomach. In fact, under their In
fluence the subject forgets that he has
a stomach and his resulting cheerful
ness presents a great contrast to his
former dejection.
Millions of boxes of Stuart's "Dys
pepsia Tablets are sold annually and
they are but In the dawn of their popu
larity. Every mail brings letter of
thanksgiving from gratful ones who
have been cured of this terrible disease.
The following is one of hundreds re
ceived each week:

did have a pretty nice time, only she
would continue to laugh at me.
Time went on and I had only one
day more to spend at the hotel. Things
were getting serious. She was offended
with me for a faux pas I had made the
day before," and evidently, meant to give
me, the cold shoulder and it was my
last day. I decided on action as abso
lutely essential to bring things to a
point, and after thinking it over very

me if she could respect and admire me

Gentlemen: - For months and years I
was an Intense sufferer from violent at
tacks of ISciattc Rheumatism, and was
Slven up by three leading physicians of
akland. Cal. (this my home city), who
said I could not recover, and would be u
cripple for life. But one day I happened
;2iB,'.t,hVld of a "mal1 sample bottle of
Oil of Lden, manufactured by your eoin
puny, and used it, and obtained imme
diate relief from it. Afterwards I used
two small bottles more of the Remedy,
which entirely cured me, and I havu
never had the slightest recurreuce of the
disease Htnce, although 'I have been a
hard worker and have been on my feet
constantly almost "every day since, do
ing the full work of an all-day laborer.
I cannot sneak too highly of the merits
.A" ?.r,t,en ,for curing Rheumatism,
and I gladly make this statement for the
benefit of suffering humanity.. Any one
so desiring can visit me and ascertain
personally the extent of my sufferins
and the miraculous cure thHt has hei-.H

us. bo that I had to' paddle my hardest
to make the boat go against them. Sud
denly she exclaimed. 'Let mo help you,'
and in spite .of my beseeching insisted
on turning round and paddling, too.. It
did make a difference, and we r went
along beautifully after that as her lithe
body bent to the even strokes of her
paddle. But I had only her back, and
occasionally- tier-profile, to look- at so
pushod on In oraer to get round tho next
point, where we ghoulcL turn south, and
so get out of the sight or our hotel
and the neighboring islands. I wanted
to do up this adventure brown and have
the whole landscape to our two selves
alone, and so make my 'declaration' in
really favorable surroundings.
"We went on till we had left the point
behind us and turned our course so that
the waves came, directly, on our star
board side. The canoe was difficult to
fceep straight, and as- we were both
leaning over our paddles; and throwing
a good deal of weight on our own sides
of the craft it was scarcely necessary
for me to do anything, 'stroke too
long.' as the, poet suys, was all that was
needed, and there' was a lurch and a
splash, and over we went- .'
But through, some stupidity on mv
past my feet got caught in the thwart
and . when, after a moment I managed
to extricate myself and cams -up pant
ing, my lady was collecting paddlea and
cushions in the most insouciant way,
meaning while swimming about' as
easily as If water were her natural ele
ment. . -,
Are you all right?" she called, out
looking more concerned" about me than
thought necessary; and with her. bon
net and - hair scarcely splashed, so
calmly had she fallen in. "
."yes; Im all right now. Let me
help you,' I answered, striking out In
her direction.
'Don't bother about me. I can easily
swim to shore. It's only about a quar
ter of a mile. Tou had better right the
canoe and put the things In before the
cushions sink, and off she went, strik
ing out with a long, easy stroke that
looked good for .twice the distance.
"Well, I was in a fix. I never In
tended to overturn the canoe completely
in tipping the girl out and I would not
have Uue so if my wretched feet had
not caught, for I had not the slightest
Idea how to right It It looked so sim
ple to have Just spilled us out and then
supported her with one arm while I
rescued paddle, et cetera, with ' the
other Indeed. I even had an Idea of
towing the canoe by holding the painter
In my teeth ss I had seen others., do.
But alas! the best laid scheme o mice
and- men ganr aft" a-glee.' 80 what
could I expect with such a clumsy plot
as mine? For although I had seen the
girl in bathing I had no idea any
woman could swim a quarter of a mile
In her clothes.
"Well, they carried her off, and were
kind enough to empty my canoe for me
and push it off in my direction. So I
clambered In and paddled home by my
self, a. sadder and a- permanently wiser
man.
"Her engagement to the bank clerk
was anounced that evening, so you may
suppose I was heartily glad I had In
tended leaving there the next day, for
I shouldn't have cared about staying
longer. Naturally I was the laughing
stock of the house, for It was Impos
sible for me to explain. No one would
have believed I had done on' purpose a
thing which made me cut so poor's
figure. So I had to keep silent, swallow
my rage and wish the young people Joy
into the bargain.
"But I'll never try any dodge like
that on a Canadian girl again, and don't
you. either, my boy. They're dangerous
game." New Tork Tribune.

The lumber Situation In the North
west Is not especially pleasing to the
men that receive their living from their
lumber sales, and the Immediate future
is not alluring. A leading lumberman
said, yesterday. In speaking of the local
"After the first of the year Portland
lumber mills will begin to again ship to
northern California nolnta. For the last
Lfew months we have been almost entire
ly snut out of this market as the rates
from Interior mflls have allowed them to
get tneir product into the California field
much more cheaply. : The $5 rate on in
terior mill shipments will go Into effect
January 1. and we will begin to get our
share of trade after that time. It has
been very dull for the last month in local
circles. -, . . . : ; '
"The Interior lumbermen may com
plain, In fact. I know thev already are
objecting to Portland having the same
rate they have, but they have no reason
for such complaint If our water ship
ments give us two outlets their cheaner
togs ana labor equalise this advantage.
ana tney should be able to compete with
us at the same shiopina- charre.; Cars
are plentiful now and a shortage was
what chiefly troubled Interior mills'.
since we have by our campaign with the
Southern Pacific, atded in brinalria- more
cars Into, the state we have benefited
Interior, points, for what use Is a rate
that does not become effective" because
of lack of shipping facilities?
"Tho San Francisco market Is entirely
knocked out , Last week lumber cargoes
sold at $10 a thousand, when it cost $6
to ship these In. Logs are worth more
than that Tho interior. California re
gion Ms our beat market, and Portland
lumbermen may recuperate their losses
If given a fair chance at this field. Our
present rate Is $5 to Sacramento and
adjacent territory, and all other points
in in is territory have to pay the local
rate to Sacramento, and also the addi
tional rate from this distributing center
to the destination of their shipment In
no case is this rate to be less than the
$5 rate given us; so Portland can com
pete on favorable terms with interior
Oregon and even California-mills. This
Is the chief ray of hope In the entire sit
uation. .. . -
VI do not believe that the rate to lit.
Paul will be raised to 60 cents. If
anything, I believe the Omaha rate will
be cut from 60 to 40 cents. I know Hill's
policy with the Northern Pacific has
been to build -upthe-country-and add to
the road's prosperity by ths progress of
the country, and it Is not probable that
he will leave the lumber shippers out In
the cold by such a raise. If Hill refuses
to raise his St. Paul rate. Hnrrlman can
do little else but cut the Omaha fate.
St. Paul is about as far from Seattle as
Omaha is from Portland, snd no reason
but greed can be asslrned for keeping
up the 60-cent rate. . I have been told
by Northern Pacific men that ths 40
cent rate affords a profit, snd the cry
that this amount will not defray the cost
of lumber shipments to Omaha over the
Harrlman lines Is evidently not well
taken.
"The export smash will not hurt do
mestic nor local trade In mv nnlnlnn
There will be little lumber diverted from
export trade to domestic use by this
crash, and if It all were thrown on the
market it would not amount tb a consid
erable per cent of the overstock local
mill men have In their yards.. Yes. ws
are heavily overstocked; for weeks we
have not shipped to any considerable ex
tent The California market has been
closed, and other market are always poor
ai mis season or tne year, so when or
ders do come In they will have to move
fast if tho yards are cleared in a month
or tneir surplus."
