noon that the fire Insurance
rates would be changed lmmedl- ,;.
ately to their former place if ,
the Portland Electrlo company
kept Its word and changed the
current as prescribed by the un-

"I have not been officially
notified that this change will be
made, but immediately that It
is. the rates will be lowered 25
per cent once more."
"Will lower Insurance ratea be re
stored?" This Is a question that la going the

Cazadero power plant of the Port

(United Preat Leased Wire.)
Chicago, June 80. Although she has
just earned the largest fee ever award
ed a female lawyer, Miss Mary E. Mil
ler of this city is far from happy to
day. Miss Miller is an ardent suffrag
ist and she is afraid that a flood of pro
posals of marriage will pour down upon
her as soon as her ability and brilliant
financial prospects become known to
the world. Of course, she-says, mar
riage is entirely out of the question.
Miss Miller has Just been awarded
the decision she sought in a case against
the $3,000,000 estate of William Bross.
She conducted the case for the grand
children ot Bross and is now entitled to
a fee of J30.000, which sum will be paid
her as soon as a formal court order is
entered.

to start up Its steam plant on the east

Sluggish Liver
makes life a burden, as thousands of
suffering men and , women know.
Food does not do any good. There
is no energy for business or pleasure.
Headache, sheeplessness, yellow skin,
coated tongue indicate that the liver
is not doing its work and the bile is
not being carried off.
Warner's Safe Cure
which is purely a vegetable com
pound, is an absolutely safe and
permanent cire for all inflammatory
and other diseases of the liver. It
corrects the functional trouble by
increasinar the flow of bile into the
bowels to a healthy standard and
keeping it so. It remotes all the
waste material and obstructive agents
within the circulation and structure
of the liver, and by its tonic and
purifying properties brings to a con
dition of perfect harmony all the im
portant organs of the body.
In diseases of the liver, the bowels
are usually constipated because the
flow if bile i lessened. - WARNER'S
SAFE PILLS quickly relieve this
condition, and no ill after-effects is
experienced.
WARNER'S SAFE CURE is put

that I had little interest in my

in this condition until I read about

Boat of Vassels Depart.
Since the departure of the British
bark Conway Castle for Bristol on Sep
tember 29 last year, 105 sailing -vessels
and tramp steamers have been filled to
the hatches at this port with wheat and
flour, while at the UPuftet sound ports
8S vessels secured similar dispatch.
In tho meantime California cleared
10 wheat shipments, some being' only in
the nature of stiffening for barley car
goes. Tills gives Portland a lead of
nine vessels over the combined other
forts of the Paciflo coast. Including
he barley carriers. California's grain
fleet this season numbered 81 vessels.
A great deal of the wheat exported
from San Francisco was taken there
from Portland and Puget sound ports,
the Oregon port furnishing the greater
quantity, as will te seen from the fact
that during the fiscal year Portland
shipped 2. 250, 000 bushels wheat to Cali
fornia, while Puset sound shipped 1,
450,000. Shipments to California have been
especially heavy during the early part
of this year and even up to the pres
ent time. A large number of steam
schooners carried wheat to San Fran
cisco during June, and two cargoes were
sent away on sailing schooners, ameth
old of shipping not employed for many
years out of this port until now. They
were the Oliver J. Olson and Mlndoro,
each with capacity for 1,000 tons. The
Oliver J. Olson left the river Sunday,
and will still be at sea when the sea
son closes. The Mlnduro cleared about
a month ago.

The largo fleet that went foreign
consisted of 25 steamers and 80 sail
