CERTAIN RESULTS
Many a Portland Citizen Knows
How Sure They Are.
Nothing uncertain about the work of
Doan s Kidney Pills In Portland. There
la plenty of positive proof of this In the
testimony of cltlsans. Such evidence
should convince the roost skeptical
doubter. Read the following statement:
P. D. Coffey, whoss place of residence
Is at 488 East Thirteenth street, says:
"1 have been a great sufferer from car
buncles or tumors for years. Every
once In a while they appeared, not only
one at a time, but broke out In different
places, mostly on my arms or about my
neck. Three years ago I suffered from
i a number of them, which broke out al
most at the same time. I was treated
by a physician and he ststed that I
would never Ret entirely rid of them
unless I had. them lanced and the core
taken out. He operated on them and I
was not bothered with any more until
last fall, when one made Its appearance.
I came to the conclusion that my blood
was out of orderynnd that the kidneys
were not performing thfllr functions
right, and went toT the Laue-Davls Drug
company's store snd got a box of Doan'a
Kidney Pills, taking them as directed,
and they did all that was claimed for
them. On previous occasions when one
appeared It was followed by others, but
Doan'a Kidney Pills checked them. About
two weeks ago one broke out on my arm
snd I strain resorted to Doan'a Kidney
Pills, and they prevented others from
appearing I can cheerfully recommend
Ioan's Kidney Pllla. for I also know
others who have used them with very
satisfactory results."

DECISION COMPELS
TREASURER'S CHOICE
City Treasurer J. E. Werleln does
not like the workings of the civil ser
vice .commission and especially when his
department Is affected by It. He thinks
he should have the power to choose his
own assistants regardless of the city
charter and the rules of the commission.
W. L. Gould, an assistant In his office,
recently failed In the .civil service ex
aminations and must give up his po
sition. He has been in the office nine
months.
Recently the commission sent the
city treasurer an eligible list from
whom to choose an assistant, consisting
of Thad L. Graves, Harry Rowe and W.
N. Carter, leaders at the examination.
Rowe does not want the position now.
The treasurer communicated with the
civil service commission yesterday, ask
ing that a special examination be held
for Gould, as hs desires so retain him
In the office. After discussing the mat
ter, the members of the commission de
cided that ' the city treasurer must ap
point an assistant from the eligible list
sent him.
Fred Olsen, . clerk of the municipal
court will nog have to give up his po
sition because he failed to take the re
cent examination. According to an opin
ion of the city attorney, the civil ser
vice commission has no Jurisdiction over
his position.
TRYING TO PREVENT
REMOVAL OF SEAT
In trying to prevent the removal , of
the county seat of Union county from
Union to La Grande, residents of the
former city found It necessary yester
day to file a petition for an Injunction.
Circuit Judge Bears signed an order
directing the representatives of La.
Grande to,show cause why an Injunction
should not be granted and will hear
the case at Union next Friday. Circuit
Judge Eakln of that district does not
desire to hear the case, for fear of
being charged with bias. His home Is
at Union.
The legislature passed a special act
In 1101, providing that an election
should be held In order to let the voters
determine whether or not the county
seat should be moved. There were
court troubles but the vote at election
was In favor of the change. It Is al
leged that changing the county seat
under a general statute Is illegal because
a special legislative provision governs
the matter for Union county. The pres
ent suit Is filed by T. B. Eaton and
others against County Judge M. A. Har
rison and all other Union county of
ficials. (pacta I IMapatch to The Josraal.)

PORTLAND PLEASING
(Continued from Page One.)
the depot by a reception committee of
'. and the Boston Knights Templsr
band. The committee escorted Jlr
Shaw to the Portland hotel, and later
Frank C. Baker accompanied Mr. Shaw
to the Commercial club, where1 an In
formal reception waa bald and the sec
retary met several hundred of the lead
ing cltlxens of the city and state.
The reception closed at 10 o'clock, and
during the two hours It lasted no formal
speeches were made, the object of the
gathering being chiefly to acquaint the
city's guest with the representstive men
of the district.
MAW'S XAFID
rirst Won Tame by Combatting Bryan's
liver Fleas.
It Is sn odd circumstance that the
unconscious cause of Leslie M. Shaw's
entry upon public life was William Jen
nings Bryan. But for Bryan, Roose
velt's secretary -of the treasury would
probably still be practicing law In the
courts of Iowa, brilliant and successful
In his chosen profession, but compara
tively unknown beyond the confines of
the state. Until IMC he had never held
office and had never taken an active
part in politics, but early In that year
Bryan delivered a series of addresses In
Iowa upon the free coinage of silver.
The great apostle of bimetallsm won
thousands of converts to his cause, but
among those who hesrd him with un
believing ears was Leslie Shaw. To him
Bryan's arguments failed to carry con
viction and his dissent soon crystallsed
Into a determination to take the stump
In defense of the gold standard. He de
livered an address at Denlson. Is., which
hss been characterised as an event not
only In his own life but In the history
of his state and his country.
SUa Career Then Began.
Shaw had been sn occasional speaker
in previous national campaigns, but
without attracting the attention that
was immediately aroused by his Denlson
address. The Republican campaign man
agers were quick to appreciate his
power and hla services came Into In
stant demand. He 'traveled over the
state, speaking everywhere to crowded
houses. Unlike, most of the campaign
speakers, his arguments were not drawn
frosn books of finance, but from the
homely lesaons of experience. A life of
varied occupations had eminently Jnted
him to use effectively the peculiar style
of argument which characterised his ad
dresses. Beginning life on a Vermont
farm, he had migrated to Iowa when
only 21 years of age, andsthere he began
the struggle for an education, earning
his livelihood in the meantime by teach
ing school, and finding occasional em
ployment with neighboring farmers. A
nurserymsn who was attracted by young
Shaw a industry and manireat anility,
hired him to .sell fruit 'treses to the
l .rmera of western Iowa, and the money
whlcn he ti.ua earned enabled htm to
complete bis course at Cornell college
and to graduate in lav from the Iowa
College of Law at Dea Moines. Ha be
came a land broker and soon a land
owner, and It was a natural transition
when he entered upon the banking busi
ness. But it. was his earnest desire to
practice 'law and he pursued this pro
fession with s'much application that
he rose to a high position st the bar of
the state. Naturally a keen observer
and, a student of men., his varied pur
suits' gave him a store of experience
that proved Invaluable when he entered
at last upon the broader field of public
affairs.
A Man Of the People.
One of the reasons for the remarkable
success which has attended Leslie Shaw
a a campaign speaker Is the fact that
he appeals directly to the personal ex
perience of his hearers. Like Lincoln,
he makes constant use of homely Illus
trations drawn from everyday life, and
his ready wit seldom falls to capture
his audience. Though essentially a man
of the people, he never becomes com
monplace and often rises to the heights
of real eloquence. It was President Mo
Klnley who remarked, after hearing
Leslie Shaw address a great audience at
the national capital, that he had never
before found a man who could crystal
lize statistics into poetry.
In Mr. Shaw's appearance there Is
little to suggest the . great orator.
Slight of figure, stoop-shouldered, awk
ward In his movements' and his gestures,
h5 Is apt to arouse a feeling of disap
pointment when he first appears on the
platform. But this Is quickly dispelled,
as with clear, resonant voice ha begins
his speech. He possesses In an unusual
degree the gift of presenting the strong
features of his case In their most favor
able light, and of avoiding all that
might impair the force of his argument.
As he warms to his subject his delivery
becomes increasingly earnest and forc
ible, and all awkwardness of manner or
appearance Is forgotten. He Is keen
and quick at repartee and many stories
are told of his readiness In replying to
the Interruptions with which a stump
speaker Is assailed. It la related that
In the course of one of his stump
speeches, delivered while he was gov
ernor of Iowa, he was harassed by the
persistent Interruption of one of hla
auditors, who had a number of ques
tions to propound. To all of them the
speaker gave quick response, until the
Interrupter began again with "Pardon
me, governor, but '
He got no further, for the governor
Instantly retorted: "Certainly; I've
pardoned worse fellows than you In my
time and It would be unjust tb draw
the line here."
Seven years cover the period of
Leslie M. Shaw's career as a holder of
public office. Bo great was his popu
larity In Iowa after the national cam
paign of 1896 that when the state cam
paign came on In the following year
there was an overwhelming demand for
his nomination for governor. He whs
elected by a large majority, which was
doubled two years later when ha again
ran for the aame office'. His four years
In the gubernatorial chair were draw
ing to a close and he waa planning to
return to private life when a vacancy
arose In President Roosevelt's cabinet
through the resignation of the. secre
tary of the treasury, Lyman J. Gage.
There was already one Iowa man In the
cabinet. Secretary Wilson, and sectional
considerations seemed to bar the se
lection of another man from that state.
But so great waa the reputation that
Shaw had earned by his campaign
speeches for sound money, that Roose
velt determined to make htm Gage's suc
cessor. In February, 1102, be entered
the cabinet.
Of all the president's political family.
Secretary Shaw la accounted the abler t
and most popular speaker. It was nat
ural, therefore, that he should be se
lected to make the tour of the western
states In the Interest of Roosevelt's
election. Large and enthusiastic au
dlencea have greeted him wherever he
has gone, and ha la regarded by the
Republican national committee aa the
greatest vote getter of the campaign.

MANY BIG VESSELS
REACH THIS PORT
FROM HAMBDSO-HOT EXPECTED
TILL EARLY X
IALMOI FLEET COM3HO
rtOM TSS WORTH.
During the paat 14 hours a big fleet
of vessels has arrived at the mouth of
the river. They are the German bark
Anna, from Hamburg, and the American
bark Harry Morse, the steamer North
King and the American ahtp Berlin, the
three latter having Just arrived from
Alaska, where they have spent the sea
son In the salmon fishing trade. Aa
the catch up north was rather light this
year It is probable chat they, do not
carry very full cargoes.
It Is looked upon as being rather a
singular Incident that the three salmon
carriers arrived at practically the same
time. In former years they usually put
lg an appearance one at a time, and
there would be a week or more between
the arrival of the first and Che next
vessel of the fleet The first of the
fleet reached Astoria last year on Au
gust 20, snd the others kept coming along
one at a time for a couple of weekB af
terwards. There are several other sal
mon carriers still on the way, among
them being Che American ship Sergeant.
The German bark Anna Is bringing
from Hamburg to Portland a general
cargo consigned to Meyer, Wilson A
Co. She left the German port for the
Columbia river on April 1. making the
paaaage In Just 160 days, which is about
the average time required, although the
trip la frequently not completed In six
or even seven months. She had been
posted as due in September. The Anna
Is In command of Captain Brunings and
la of 2,4S9 tons net register. She Is not
chartered for the outward trip.
The French ship Brlxeux is out from
Antwerp for Portland 10 days, and
consequently Is more than . a month
overdue. During the month of Septem
ber five cargo ships are expected to ar
rive here from European ports. If they
should make anything like fair passages.

GREAT FLOUR CARGO.
Word is being flashed down over the
wires from Tacoma that In a very
ahort time Portland will not be In a po
sition to boast of the' fact that she has
the honor of dispatching the largest
flour cargo ever sent from any port In
the world. The Information Is given that

held by Tacoma and Portland will be
painfully obliged to go way back and sit
dowfa
The statement is made that an oriental
lister, supposedly the Oanfa, Is receiving
a cargo which, when completed, will
comprise at least 0,0"0O barrels of flour.
As that la about 6,000 barrels In excess
of the world-beating cargo which the
steamship Algoa took out from this port
last November, the Tacomaltes evidently
believe that they have cause for great
rejoicing. They are beginning In time
to make the most of It.
But before they begin to weep too
copiously over the galling matter, Port
land shippers say they are going to wait
for the latest returns. WBsn . the
steamer up north gets ready to clear at
the custom house the explanation Is
made that those 80,000 flour barrels
might possibly dwindle down to about
80.000 tubs or thereabouts. At sny rate
they are going to wait and see Just what
the' exact figures are .before doing any
thing desperate. ' If Tacoma should hap
pen to get In the lead they declare that
aha will not retain It for any great
length of time, and also assert In paren
thesis that Portland has always ex
ported more flour and wheat In the
course of a year than all the porta on
Puget sound combined.
Work on the Asteo Is progressing
favorably, but It la said that shs will not
sail before September 6. Two weeks
later the big steamship Algoa will arrive
In port to load for the far east.
