Trrupuon:1,He loin now. ne tiaa triea
to call in other physicians to consult
with him, but that Mrs. Myers refused
to permit hint to do so. 'He told of the
examinations he made and the progress
of the disease, going 1 Into detail and
showing a surprising remembrance of

- To show that Mrs. Myera would not
allow other ..doctors, to be-called, and
that Myers commended Dr. ' Robinson
for treatment of his wife . previous to
her death, letters were Introduced la

"I think it may be several months be

Chamberlain is mora sincere In his ad

when they stood ih line with a candi
date because he was a nominee.
"In mv belief, and I have canvassed
the situation very thoroughly. Gov
ernor Chamberlain will come out of
Southern Oregon as tar- down as Klam
ath Falls, with a good majority. I do
not know how It Is beyond that point,
for I have not been over the country,
but I am confident , on my prediction
Mr. Stevensen has been oonsultlng
with His deputies tnrougn tne soutnern
Oregon district and finds that general
observance of the game and .forestry
laws Is rood, no violations having
been reported to mm.
advance in case the supreme court sus
tained the decision of the lower court
holding the advanoes unjustified. The
supreme court many months . ago de
cided the case in favor of the lumber
men, but settlement of the difference
due the lumbermen had been delayed
for various reasons..
Finally, on May t, IlOi, an ancillary
bill was filed asking that the court di
reot the railroads to pay Into court the
1600,000. being the face of the bond
executed to protect - the - shippers, and
yesterday the court granted tha prayer
and directed the payment to be-made,
and it Is believed now that there will
be no further delay In the shippers be

in the meantime.

IH HAROOR
Port of Portland Commission
Sets Six Miles Per Hour as
Speed Limit ; at Several
. Points Along" the.-WH-lamette-
:
An ordinance passed by the Port of
Poryand commission yesterday after
noon put a stop to racing between rival
steamers in the Willamette river from
the harbor to bear Its confluence with
the Columbia, The measure was con
sidered timely In view of the rate wars
that have been promised between steam
boat concern tms summer.
The ordinance la sweeping in its ef
fect, and violation of Its provisions
will v be prosecuted without fear; cr
favor. It is . considerably more Strin
gent than the ordinance passed by the
city which prohibits steamers from
traveling faster than eight miles an
hour within the harbor limits. The
new ordinance passed yesterday; and
made effective at once, provdeaCthat
six miles shall be the speed limit in
passing the Port of Portland drydocic
at St. Johns or the dredges belonging :
to the port, no matter where they -may
be operating. It provides that eight
miles shall be the speed limit from the
foot of Ross Island to the e,uth to the
head of Swan Island to the north, and
a speed limit of 11 miles from Swan
Island to the Associated Oil dock, near
Linn ton. h f v -.-.,-
-Another matter of importance that
cams before the regular meeting of
the commission yesterday was the ap
pointment of a committee composed of
Commissioners Swlgert, Drlsooll and
Wheelwright, to revise -the rates fixed
for , the use of . the drydock, it having
been decided to make a substantial re
duction in order to invite more work.
The old rates, it is agreed, have been
rather- steep, so much so that many
vessels in actual need of cleaning, paint
ing or repairs have had the work done
elsewhere at a considerable saving.
The revision' will result in giving
more work to the large number cf me
chanics who depend largely upon em
ployment at the dock. .
Before adjourning the commission de- '
etded to build 10 new pontoons fortha
dredge Portland. Bids for the same
will be Invited In tefew days. .
