Fop the first time In several week
every lumber carrier - in, port is above
: the bridges, where cargoes will be re
ceived. There are now eight In that lo
cality, the fleet being Increased this
morning by the arrival Of the barken
tine James Tuft, which was. towed. to
the lnman-Poulsen . mill. - Bunched
around the dock at this mill there are
five deep-water crafts, while Just across
the river at the Portland lies three big
droughers. These vessels have a com
bined carrying capacity "of nearly 8,
000,000 feet, as shown by the following

Until .Within the last year or two
rlvermcn say that It was very seldom
that a deep-water vessel was ever seen
above the bridges, r But this year the
reverse seems to be true, and those In
terested declare that it shows the falsity
of the oft-repeated statement that the
commercial - enterprises -of a Shipping
port invariably... work do wn( stream., a.
,. substantiate the ' truth of 'their state
Mnents they point to the little 'forest
of masts that may be seen In the vi
cinity of the Portland and the Inman
'Poulsen mills. Below the bridges there
' is not a lumber carrier in port.
, ; Until a few days ago the barkentine
Louisiana and the schooner A, F. Coats
.-were above the bridges, but are now en
v-route down the river with cargoes. Tk
Cresslngton is loading for Callao, and
will soon be ready,, to . sail) . The Cro
martyshire goes to South Africa, .the
'Oarms to China,' the Tuft to the orient
'and the Others to 1 various points -down
the coast To get lumber for them the
- mills are kept running to their full ca

. ocasionally happens that the vessels are

Early this -morning the - oil t carrier
Rosecrans sailed for- 8a a Francisco.
She will return with (mother cargo of
'.crude oil as soon as the round trip can
be made. She will bring 24,000 barrels,
: the same amount that was brought this
trip, which will be discharged at the
LInnton tank. Pilot Patterson Is mak

rwill return with her. He usually pilots
her up and down the river and as she is
coming, back so soon concluded to make
the round trip voyage. -
Since so. many of the Columbia and

fuel oil rather freely, as well as the pa

OF A 26 PER CENT GRADE MADE
CHIEF TELLS A CROOK .
BY HIS SOFT HANDS
Seventeen hearts were made glad by
"Judge" Charles H. Hunt, who also oc
cupies the position of chief of police,
this morning. It was a motley throng
that lined up before the bar" of the kan
garoo court and showed , hands to the
self-appointed magistrate. All were set
free by the "kind' old man," and went
away light-hearted. ,
The process by which Hunt deter
mines a prisoner's Innocence or guilt la
most unique, and demonstrates his great
ability to Judge of crime by means of
the human hand.
"I can tell by looking at a man's hand
whether or not he is a criminal," says
the head of Portland's police department
"If a prisoner's hand Is hard and cal
loused, he's not - a criminal, but If It's
soft and white, he may be."
Every one of the prisoners released
by "his -honor.'i- the Judge-of -the, kan
garoo court this morning, must - have
turn trip from the latter place she usu
ally brings a cargo of bananas and other
tropical -fruit - i-
" HE ABUSES XAJTT BOATS. .
Deputy Barnes rinds . tight . Draught
Vessels la Demand. '
Deputy Collector Barnes has .gone
to Independence. Or., -where he
will take government measurements
of a gasoline launch, which has been
built at that place by Capt George
Skinner. The craft will be operated as
a freight and passenger boat on the
upper- river. ...-r--r -i 6
During the past year, Including gaso
line launches, Mr. Barnes has measured
19 boats. In slsettheyrun from 10 to
800 tons carrying capacity. The new
steamer Telephone Is the largest In the
list v All of these vessels have been
built for operation -either on the Wil
lamette, Columbia or their .tributaries.
It will be seen that despite the al
ready large humber of.' boats, the fleet
has been' growing at the rate of almost
two a months '
Mr. Barnes states that there seems
to be more demand for light-draught
vessels than any .other kind. They are
intended mostly for . use In the shallow
waters,'; where It is ' Impossible for the
larger craft- to be operated, some ot
them draw less than a foot of water.
' The largest vessels "ever measured
here were the steamers Columbia and
Argyll, the former being 2,976 gross
tons and the latter 1,853. At the time
the vessels were measured they were
plying between Portland and the Orient
i. ;. trBEBCKVAV BAILS. .,
Aftef having been In port since Jan
uary 26, the French bark La Fontaine
left -down this afternoon, wheat-laden
for the United Kingdom. The cargo Is
being dispatched by Balfour, Guthrie &
Co.k. A short time ago three of the sail
ors deserted, but they were afterward
captured and' held In Jail until the ves
sel was ready to depart , The captain
was one of the few who did not have
to secure any new men. The Verclnge
torix will be the next French vessel to
leave port She has moved from the
Irving to, the Oceanic dock, where she
will complete her cargo in, two or three
days.

the police dragnet last night and. early
this morning and the most of them
represented the great floating population
of the wild and wooly west They
drifted In on freight trains and on blind
baggage cars,' and were nabbed a they
alighted.
But in a chief of police whose pene
trating gaze has power evensuperior to
radium, and who can read crime in the
human hand, Portland has a most valua
ble officer. In this,-manner breakfasts
are saved the city, and the" hearts of the
taxpayers are made glad. Each meal
costs nine cents, and this is a great sav
ing. It doesn't matter about the legality
of the process not a particle. Little
trifles like that do not for 'one moment
impede the progress of Charles H. Hunt

ties in this character of boat says the
Budget. The difficulty is thaXundet.ihe
present design the propeller cannot set
deep enough, and at the same time
the arrangement of the boat Is not
adapted to the new power. If the pres
ent season proves a successful one the
present fish boat will be a thing of the

'The steamer Elder will sail for San
Francisco tonight with a large cargo
of general freight. . Among It will be a
large shipment of goods brought from
the orient on the last trip of the In-dravelll.
The ancient steel tank that did serv
ice for the city of East Portland as long
ago as 18 years was brought to the po
lice station yesterday and will be in
stalled as a portion of the city jail. It
Is a tank 16x15 feet square and 12 feet
high. It will be used for the most des
perate prisoners, and Chief Hunt says
it is absolutely safe. ;
About 16 years ago, when East port-
land was a. city and was governed by a
separate council, Mayor Stuart held the
reins of-power. . At that time the Sal
vation Army created a branch on the
east side for the spreading of the gos
pel, and; Mayor Stuart and others soon
raised much objection , to the open-air
meetings held by the religious workers.
The captain in charge of the corps re
fused to give up any of the privileges
enloyed. and as. a result he and his
little band were . arrested and thrown
into the steel tank, soon, to be again In
active serviced however. k.? ;:;; v ,;-. '-
Like Paul and Silas of old, the gos
pel workers refused to be ellenced by
arrest, and songs of praise and prayers
ascended on high from the tank. There
were about 15 army workers within, and
they kept busy with hymns of praise as
long as they were locked up. They se
cured . some black paint, and the work
they did then Is still visible on the In
side of the tank to this day. "Jesus is
mighty to save," "Jesus can save you,"
and similar1 inscriptions, were painted on
the walls and are plainly visible there
now.
; The army people were finally released
and went back again to preach and sing
on the streets, refusing to be silenced.
They were frequently arrested, but after
some time they won their cases and the
matter was finally forgotten. .
WON'T SHUT SUNDAYS

will probably keep -closed during the.
day. ;'-'''
It Is pointed out that . whereas the
St Louis exposition went first to the
government for authorization and later
to theetate of Missouri, the Lewis and
Clark management first received the
backing of the state and then sought
governmental aid. This leaves the state
as thfr chief authority- and the -element
of governmental restraint is necessarily
less in evidence than It was In the case
of the St. Louis exposition.
8. W. Gamble's Threat. :
8. W. Gamble last night Informed the
Taylor street Methodist prayer meeting
that he was going to personally exert
his Influence to throttle the Lewis and
Clark fair unless a. sudden change of
heart was shown by the management
and a Sunday cloning rule adopted. Mr.
Gamble Is secretary of the National
Sabbath Observance association and de
votes his time to the advocacy of, one
day In seven for rest ; ' (
Among other things Mr. Gamble said
that he had worked In the Interests ot
the fair for some time and had asked
Secretary Shaw to push the appropria
tion, but only on condition . that the
gates be closed on Sunday. Mr. Gamble
added that he had written to this effect
to more than half the members of the
lower house, with many of whom ,he was
acquainted. ' - ': ;
Mr. Gamble alleged that no fair ever
made enough out of Sunday admissions
to cover the expenses for that day.
"Every third person who visits vthe
fair will be a Protestant the people who
will; come will not be from the slums."
Mr. Gamble added:
. Will Beep People Away
"As a representative of the National
8abbtB Observance ' association I am
going to keep as many people from com
ing to attend the fair as I can, if you
people run the exposition seven days in
the week." . . '
Mr. Gamble made a new orthodox di
vision when he said: "There are. 10,000
Protestants In this city, besides Episco
palians, Lutherans 'and Catholics, who
are also In favor of an observance of
the 8abbath." - 1
Mr. Gamble believed street-car and
railroad men had been misquoted as fa
voring the Sunday opening, since they
would be forced to work the seventh day
to handle the throngs that would go to
the fair. He also asserted that the la
bor organizations of the coast were
against Sunday opening.

IS IT CURABLE?
A Question Often Asked by Those Af-
fllcted With Piles.
. Is a strained Joint curable T Is local
inflammation 1 curable. Of course, , if
properly treated. So is piles.
People often become afflicted with
piles and ask some old "chronic" ' who
has always persisted in the wrong
treatment and naturally he-discourages
them by telling them that their case Is
hopeless.
They in turn discourage others, and
thus a disease that can in every cane
be cured by careful and skillful hand
ling is allowed to sap the energy of
thousands who might free themselves
of the trouble In a few days.
Pyramid Pile Cure will cure the 'most
aggravated case of hemorrhoids in an
astonishingly short time. It relieves
the congested parts, reduces the tumors
Instantly -no-matter bow large, - allays
the inflammation and stops the aching
or Itching at once.
Thousands who had resorted to ex
pensive surgical treatment . have been
cured by the Pyramid Pile Cure in a
number of Instances persons who had
spent months In a hospital under a pile
specialist
. It is a remedy -that none need fear to
apply even to the most aggravated,
swollen and Inflamed hemorrhoidal tu
mors, : If you are afflicted with this stubborn
disease you can master It and master it
quickly. , : '.-'i.'.;'..
