ROBBERY TO STOCK
SECOND-HAND STORE
The disgraceful and dangerous con
ditions existing; on the waterfront of
Portland were officially called to the
aTtennn6rTR8"'T!5Sfa-6f 'health aC fts"
meeting this morning by Health Offi
cer Dr. Esther Pohl.
In her report Dr. Pohl advocate that
measures be taken at once to Institute
a rat crusade, with the Idea of extermi
nating the pests and guarding against
possible cases of bubonic plague. She
also calls the attention of the board to
the "lndcrlbably filthy" condition of
buildings and streets on the waterfront
and advocates compelling property
owners to clean up their premises to
comply with the city's sanitary laws.
That part of her report referring to
the condition of the waterfront follows:
"Bubonic plague Is prevalent on the
Asiatic coast, and several cases have
developed In San Francisco. Precau
tions are being taken by the other coast
cities to prevent its Introduction. Dr.
Holt, the commanding medical officer in
the marine service station at Astoria,
has the work affecting the Columbia
and Its tributaries In hand. He sends
a deputy to fumigate all San Francisco
boats, and recommends that the local
health boards Institute a rat crusade.
and have rata examined bacteriological ly
ror the bacilli pestls.
"We have Inspected the water front,
and find that manv of the Front street
buildings discharge sewerage under the
bHlKUDCi .into jhe. river, or into in
ground, as the case may be. Borne o
these places are Indescribably filthy
with their -little rivulets of sewerage
running out from uuder the buildings
toward the river.
"Many people are employed In this
part of the city, and there seems to
be no good reason why these prop
erty holders should not be obliged to
comply with the law and keep their
nremiaes clean."
The report also showed that there
have been 18 cases of typhoid In Port
land the lust month, seven of which
were traced to one milk ranch within
the city limits. This ranch was sup
plied with water from the Woodstock
water works and from a well. Since
the well haa been closed by the city
officials no new cases have developed
along the milk man's' route.
There have been no cases of small
pox In Portland and but one of spinal
meningitis. The contagious diseases
reported to the department during Au
gust were:
Typhoid fever, contracted Inside city.
18. deaths 1; typhoid fever, brought
here for treatment, 6. deaths 1; diph

HEAVY FINES FOR OWNERS WHO

All publlo utility franchises now ex

power of regulation. In order to do i
this it la expected that the city coun

to work In conjunction with the City
attorney In making an examination of I
all city franchises now on the books I
of the city.

(Special Dlipatch to Tb Journal.)
Tacoma, Wash.. Sept. 3. Thieves who
broke Into the. second-hand store of
Morris levlnson tarrtefl away about
' half of hig stock. The police are unable
to 'see how the job was done without
- detection. Suitcases, wntches, rings.
Jewelry of various kinds, firearms,
r clocks and badges and a great assort
ment of miscellaneous articles were
carried ott. The police believe those
doing the thieving are intending to start
a second-hand store ami took this
metnofl or securing an initial stock.
'The horse is' man's most faithful
animal. Uncomplainingly tolling day in
and day out, in summer and winter, to
the financial gain of the master, It Is
only Justice that the horse should at
least receive as a reward human treat
ment. It Is apparent In this case that
there was gross inhumanity on the part
of all parties concerned, calling for
the Imposition of some punishment.
"The court Is of the opinion, however.
that the driver was not so much to
blame as he was compelled to work
the animal or lose his position and had
no discretion in the matter. The other
men, fully cognizant of the condition
of the suffering animal, could have sub
stituted another horse and by net so
doing should be more severely pun
ished. It is therefore the order of the
court that the defendant Harry Bates
be fined $10 and J. Smith and E. J.
Boon 120 apiece."
After hearing the testimony In the
cases of Harry Bates, a teamster em
ployed by the Banfleld-VeyRey Fuel
company and E. J. Boon and J. Smith,
foreman and stableman respectively of
the same concern, all charged with cru
elty to animals. Judge Strode In the
p611ce court this morning rendered the
foregoing decision.
Rates was taken Into custody last
Friday afternoon by Patrolman Goltz
at Third and Flanders streets for driv
ing a horse with a terrible running
sore on Its neck. As the driver main
tained that his superiors knew of tho
condition of the animal and compelled
him to drive the equine. Deputy City
Attorney Fitzgerald Immediately issued
warrants for the arrest of the foreman
and stableman.
M. C. Banfleld, the senior member
of the fuel company, furnished ball
for his employes. At the station Ban
fleld declared that It was an outrage
for anyone to work a horse with such
nn affliction and gave It as his opinion
that all of his men should be severely
dealt with.

WHITMAN PROSPECTS
NEVER BRIGHTER
(Special Dlapatcb to Tba Journal.)
Whitman College, Walla Walla, Wash.,
Sept. 3. Preparations are almost com
plete for the opening of the college
year, September 11. Prospects are for
the largest enrollment In the history of
the college. There will be at least 75
In the freshman class.
One of the principal Improvements of
the year Is the installation of a col
lege bonk store on the fourth floor of
hitman Memorial building, where all
books will be handled this year. A
large amount of new apparatus has
been secured for the various laborato
ries, which will be well equipped this
year to do excellent work.
Most of the professors have returned
from their vacations or will be In town
this week. Students will begin to
gather toward tho end of the week for
convocation, weptember 11. The special
feature of convocation this year will
be an address by Harry Tash, several
years a teacher In the Philippines, on
the subject, "Opportunities in the Philippines."
do later on, when the demand becomes
heavy, not even the big millers are
willing to even hazard a guess. They
bk; mai conditions are tne strongest
mey nave ever seen, ana tnat demand
for flour Is fully aa areat If not
greater, than when lower prices were
The truth of the matter In thut the
orient is about to have a flour famine.
Both Chinese and Japanese buyers have
been holding off their flour purchases
for several months because they be
lieved that prices were far too high and
they could purchase the new crop prod
uct at a material reduction from the
rices asked for the old. In this they
ave gone astray, because not onlv did
the prices not recede from the high
mark of last year, but it has been ad
vancing at a steady gait ever since mill
ers began to sell nour of the present
crop.
With the wheat market on the Pacific
coast abnormally high, owing to the
great damage to the European as well
as the American wheat crops, the In
quiry for wheat for foreign account
could scarcely be heavier than at this
I time, and the movement at this time
would be a record-breaker if the pro
ducer could be forced to sell. However,
he does not care to sell very heavily at
this time, although the market Is up
In the air as far as prices are concerned.
Premium on Every Bushel.
So great Is the call for wheat that a
premium of lc to 3c a bushel Is being
paid In some instances. Never before
has such a large premium been paid by
exporters In order to get supplies. Gen
erally It Is the miller who forces up
the price on the exporter, but this year
conditions are Just the reverse from
what tbey usually are and there's no
telling what may happen If some more
damage reports from European crops
are received.
There Is still a chance for wheat to
sell at 90 cents a bushel or better In
this market Wheat is advancing with
great bounds in the east and in Europe,
and on some days tho price Is boosted
fully 6 cents a bushel, and still the
demand keeps far ahead of anything
the grain, trade had ever known. At
this time the foreign market is even
a fraction better than the local trade.
but export agents here are conservative
and are waiting to see what the near
future will bring In European values
before making any movement to adjust
values nere.
What effect the high export flour
values' and the extremely high wheat
market will have on the local grades
of flour can only be guessed at Just
now. There Is no doubt In the minds
or the local trade that new flour will
open up fully as high as the old grades
are selling for at this time thl being
a performance never before duplicated
in tnis or any otner raarxet. old wheat
flower always sells from 10 to 30 cents
a barrel over the new grade at the start
of the season, but this being an excep
tional year all through the grain and
flour market, there's no telling what
will happen.

Only a few days left in
which to avail yourself of
this grand opportunity.
We have all of them
guessing. The music
stores and the other con
servatories as well as the
private teachers, are stay
ing awake nights trying
to study it out. A 17

born Mandolin will be
given absolutely free of
charge to pupils taking a
course of forty lessons.
That is, until our limited
number are placed.
This Offer Will Not
Extend Later Than
September 14th
At 5 p. m., and it may be withdrawn at any minute. We
have arranged to place a musical education within the reach
of all until these instruments are exhausted on this basis.
The course of forty lessons and the mandolin for $20, and
the payments are 50 cents a week, with the mandolin de
livered in your home upon payment of the first $2. Send
your name and address to tne conservatory and one of our
solicitors will call upon you. There will not be two in
struments placed in any oneNhome, Do not confuse The
Osborn Conservatory with any of these mandolin agencies
who are disposing of an inferior grade of instruments. You
get the benefit of instruction that would cost you from $2
to $5 a lesson were you to take private lessons. These
lessons are given in class. By giving lessons to over 55,750
pupils in the past six years we have demonstrated beyond a
doubt that class teaching is more beneficial than private
lessons, to the average pupil. There is always a rivalry
between the pupils. Each wants to outdo the other. While
our expenses have advanced 100 per cent in the past six
years still our price remains the same, 50 cents a lesson.

In one way In one person and In another
way m anomer. in this case the lady
lived In South Dakota. She says:
"I have, had to lie awake half th
night with my feet and limbs out of

afraid to sleep for fear of catching cold.
I had been troubled for years with
twitching and Jerking of the lower
limbs, and for most of the time I have
been unable to go to church or to lec
tures because of that awful feeling that
I must keep on the move.
"When It was brought to my atten

diseases, I concluded to drop coffee and
take Postum Food Coffee to see If my
trouble was caused by coffee drinking
"I only drank one oup of coffee for
breakfast, but that was enough to do
the business for me. When I quit It

TELEGRAPHERS' STRIKE
IS UNCHANGED HERE
There was no change In the local
strike situation here today, the principal
topic of conversation at headquarters
In the Esmond hotel being the ovation

Another comforting bit of Intelligence
was the making known fit the facts

This telegraut, was sent over the
Western unlorvjrom Spokane by Mr.
Darrow Saturdilr noon. It reached here
yesterday afternoon during the ad

Lewis and Clark grounds. Mr. Darrow
would have made better time had he
mailed his message and the union men

service the telegraph companies are
able to give that In nine cases out of
ten It would save time for those send
