But It Is given out from an authentic source that the mat- : trr has been BractlcallV settled 10 favor of the proposed plan. Advice to this effect are expected to be received hv tomorrow morntnff. Those In close touch with the com- . oanv aav there la no doubt that a de .clalon haa already been reached to send itMmAr hr tn nmA fnr Jtnta and the only thing that la delaying matter I the fact that no suitable vessel has , , yet been found. An option ' has been - secured on J the Norwegian steamship Hero,' and If nothing better 1 soon lo cated It la believed that A deal will be closed for - her. ' There are several small steamers available, but It ap '; pears that those of large carrying ca pacity are mare desirable..- V Some are of the opinion that the com' 1anv will charter two or three steam. ' era to load .here for Japan before the month la ended.' It la announced at the local office of the line that t.000 tona of. flour have, already been pro- mlsed for Immediate delivery. As orders are constantly being received for more flour from the Japanese Importer It 1 said that the .Indication are that a fair-anted fleet can b loaded her within the next SO day.

It haa been learned that Manager Schwerln is In comrdunlcaMon with the management of the China commercial line with the view of having its steam- - era come here to relieve the situation.

The Idea was evolved last spring after consideration of various plan for awakening new Interest at the big store. It' was thought peculiarly fitting.

Jt ha been highly-suooessful from every standpoint, and the three success ful candidates are receiving hundreds of congratulations from Interested friends. The trip Includes, at the ex penae of Olds, Wortman A King, first olas ticket with Pullman sleeper both ways, expenses at a first-class St. Louis hotel 10 days, and entrance ticket to the exposition ground 10 day.

Early next week the engin eer will begin the more Important work or running the permanent line of sur vey, and this will be Immediately fol lowed by actual conatructlon work. The dirt will begin to fly within alx weeka. The first work to be done thla fall,' ay C W. MUler, Portland attorney for the company, "will be the grading of about four mile of very rough, rocky right of way immediately south of Ore gon. City. This' is about all w expect Ja.c ompllsh In the way of construction this fall, and It Is useless to try to con tinue this work. In the winter, - Eanly next spring the line will be pushed toward Salem. - We will have a t per cent grade to a point near Aurora, and from that .on it . will run through a beautiful, level agricultural section, mostly fields of grain. -The line will parallel the Southern Paclflo railway from Oregon City to Salem. We now have oar tight of way nearly complete. Including something like 150 deed. There will be lea than half a dosen condemnation suits necessary along the entire route. The road will touch all of the towns on the Southern Pacific. We do not believe the electric road will hurt the steam railway but will rather help it Dy increasing population, building up in local Dullness ana helping the coun try generally, thus Increasing the trafflo of the steam road." ' T- Mr. Miller has prepared petition for franchise and rights of way through all of the town along the line, and It 1 thought every corporation will be glad to grant admission to the new line, ss it win give tne nrst real competition that haa been known through thla eo- tlon of the country in the matter of transportation. .The new road haa been financed in New York, and arrangement are now complete for the under-writing or tne nrat 1300,000 of the bonds upon wnicn money i to be raised. .engineers nave completed the sur veying of the seven-mile canal from the sit of the heed-works at Bull Run to the power-house, on the Sandy river, in which fall of 410 feet la secured, and a plant oosting a nair million dollars will be conatruoted. . It I estimated that ample power can be generated here to operate the, line and extend It ultimately to Eugene, Mr. Miller said:- "The line will without doubt be in time extended to Eugene." , ' GER0N1M0 SALUTES .

It Is peculiar only -to Jinotypers and those who work near the machines and the cause is attributed to the emanations which rise from the molten metal used In the operation of' the machine, called llnotyper disease. itj. 8. C. KUlen, foreman of the Journal composing rooms, la the first llnotyper of thla city to be attacked by the malady. He has been 111 sine the first of July and ha been under the con stant ear of Dr. J. T. Walls. At first the doctor wa much perplexed over the malady which affected Mr. KUlen, but at last noticed that there were both symptoms of lead and antimony poisoning. - . t At lsst the physician concluded, after a careful . study of the case, that ths disease had been caused by breathing the fume from the molten metal of the machine, which metal ia composed for the most part of antimony and lead. He began to treat the patient in order to counteract both antimony and lead poisoning and Mr. KUlen began to im prove and I now almost recovered. An other case ha recently come under the notice of the doctor. In many respect the symptoms are very like those of lead poisoning. There I no vomiting or other evidence of in test rnal disturbance.- but there la mus cular tremor of the upper limb, with tenderness on pressure over the palms and soles. Other symptoms , aa - ths microscopical changes of ths skin are Identical with those produced by a metal of tha nitrogen or arsenical group nd not those produced by lead. The antimony haa a tendency to destroy the red corpuscles which carry tha oxygen and thla gives ths patient a pale com plexion. An article . has recently appeared In the. New York Medical Journal In which the views of Dr. Leslie Roberts of Liv erpool England, IS given on the sub Ject snd they coincide with those of Dr. Wells. The medical journal also comment on the seriousness of the disease and ad vise that machine men have air shafts and ventilators erected for the pur poae of carrying oft the fumes, such air shafts have recently Many been erected in the United States.
