Chicago. Auir. 11. The hay fever dele
vetea of th middle west are flow
warmln through Chicago, red-eyed
fcnl "glub," on their annual pllgrlin
te region on the Great lakes
where they are Immune. Each year
the procession headed for the Invigorat
ing air of Lake Superior, Georgian bay
and the Temagaml country grows larg
er, the reason being that fewer of tho
delegates are made to go away alonu.
The neceultv of the liv fever dele'
gates has becomethelr opportunity for
a real outing, the regions of their Im
munity having proved so charming to
tnem mat now tneir iamiuos mm
friends Insist on going too. The trans
formation of the members of Hay Fever
f.ssoalatlon Is sudden; men from Inland
owns suddenly turn nautical on one of
the great Inland seas; they are to be
found on all sorts of craft from row
boats to the biggest steamship on the
Oreat lakes, the luxurious Huronlq of
the Northern Navtgntlon company's
fleet, which the Chlcaeoans board at
Barnla. The annual onset of hay fever
ha reused the exploration of all the
10.000 Islands of Georgian bay. that
great archipelago of weird and fan
tastic scenery.
The great attraction among these
Islands and the Temagaml region Is the
Sir, which Is dry and balsamic. One
ay fever delegate, whose misery left
him lmmellately as he entered Georgian
bay, wrote:
"The air seems to have lost the last
trace of moisture, and becomes by rea
son of its dryness so pellucid that
svery object seems as If seen through
l telescope, and the sunlight assumes
a splendor not observed In molster cli
mates." The American Medical asso
ciation tins done much to encourage
research for the relief of hay fever,
Und.the Dunbar antitoxin has proved a
partial success. The mlsf0y, medically
known as "hyperesthetlc rhinitis," la

Water Famine.
The drought in this city, which
leems likely to break the local rec
ords for dry weather for the last SO
years, has added enormously to the
consumption of water, the Increase be
ing: about 49,000,000 gallons per dav.
The previous record was . 4S7,000,000
gallons per day while now the city's
pumps are forcing about 6S6.000.000
F;allons every 24 hours. Facilities for
ncreaslnjr this amount of water to
S77.000.000 gallons have been completed
and several old pumps have been re
paired and put Into service. There are
Incipient water famines In some parts
Of the city where the pressure Is In
adequate or the pumping machinery has
broken. The fire department, over- I
worked, has urged special precautions
(gainst fl.e and the lumber yard own
ers have been ordered to keep their
yr.rds and sheds wet down until th
Srought Is over.
The wonden structures, elevators and
(he poorer class of houses are drv as
tinder and in their present condition
would furnish excellent material for a
disastrous conflagration. In fact the
Sally fire record Is twice that of the
last Fourth of July. Window boxes,
garden plats and lawns have suffered In

pecially the suburb of Oak Park, where
water Is furnished by private en
tprlses. There tho vegetation la

have received circulars requesting them

J. N. Teal Tirks Them lTp.
Last Friday morning the river boat
Dalles City started on Us usual trip
up tho Columbia, with an unusually
largs passenger list, many tourists hav
ing availed themselves of the oppor
tunity of Inspecting tho scenery along
the way. Upon arrival at the Cascade
Locks, a number of passengers went
ashore for the purpose of watching the
vessel go through, It having been given
out that there would be, another stop
on the oast side and that those who de
sired could walk along the banks and be
taken aboard after the passage of the
locks.
Altogether nine passengers availed
themselves of this cnance, but much to
their consternation there was no stop
on the other side, and all those who had
gono ashore were marooned for the
time being, or until the steamer J. N.
Teal enme along about half an hour
later and took some of them aboard for
their destination. In discussing the
matter one nf thoso who had been
caught in tho nnnoylng predicament
said:
"It Is difficult to understand why we
were left In this rude manner after hav
ing paid our fares to Tho Dalles. If
there was any mNunderstandlntf about
our going ashore. It would have been no
more than right tor tho master of the
vessel to have slonoed loner enough
after the passage of tho locks to take
us on board, as we hailed him repeated
ly, and It was well known that we had
been left. The purser must have known
llso, from the checks In our hats, that
our destination was farther up tha river,
and because no such large number of
passengers were due to get off at the
locks. In fact, the captain admitted to
us afterward at 1 tie liallns tnnt this
was the first time this season he had
omitted to stop after the passage.
Told That Boat Would Stop.
"The purser snld that he had person
ally warned tho passengers not to go
ashore, an there would bo no stop, and
slated that he had argued the point with
one of those who had alighted, the pas
senger, according to the purser, claim
ing to know more about it than he did.
on account of his familiarity with the
movements of the vessel, so he let them
go ahead. To my certain knowledge,
all those who went ashore were strang
ers, and this was their first trip up the
river hy boat, so I cannot see wherein
the purser's Btory holds water. In fact,
failed to see the purser anywhere
around at tho time I went ashore, but
two of the deckhands told me that the
boat always stopped on the other side.
and that It would be perfectly safe to
allghf. The other passengers were like
wise Informed, according to their state
ments to me, and at nil events It was
nothing more or loss than a mean trick
to have dosortod ue In that cold-blooded
fashion.
"The extra expense involved wai not
enough to warrunt creating trouble
about It, but I am quits euro that had
any of us been without sufficient funds
to take us to our destination, after hav
ing paid the regular fare, and there had
been any suffering In consequence or
the action of the boat's officers In going
off and leaving uu to our fates, a dam!
age suit against tho company would
have been one result, without counting
what the federal authorities would do
had their attention been called to the
matter. ,
"Of the nine who got left, only five of
us paid the additional fare to The
Dalles. One of the men. after a desner
Btt sprint, caught a passing freight
train and bent tho Dalles City to his
destination, while the other three, In
cluding a man and bis wife, became
dlngusted and returned to Portland on
the next westbound train passing Cas
cade Locks. I don't think any of us will
be In any great hurry to risk anothor
trip up tho river If that Is the way pas
sengers are treated on the river boats,
although I must say thot when we re
turned oti tho Halfey Outuert. of the
same line, thoso aboard received the
best of attention from her officers, and
the trip down the river was certainly
one of extreme pleasure, as she Is pro
vided with everv accommodation for the
comfort pf the traveling public.

the Dalles Cltv, and It was Impossible
to obtain his version of the matter to
day, as the steamer Is on her way from

Many questions were offered and dis

the hulls would snrve tho purposn while
others again thought probably It would
be well to use bold bell and whistle.

T V Tvlar nd A Ci. Oove 8T6 build
ing' a very light draft boat to ply on
the tinner Willamette river. It Is be
ing constructed at Corvallls. They ex
pert to have the craft ready In two
months to go Into commission Immedi
ately upon completion.
The model or me ooat is h. lummi
stern and the vessel length Is 40 feet
nnd Its width 11. It has Its origin ot
design In Germany, but crarts or HKe
pattern are now being built at Muske-
?on, Mich., by tnu nacino noai jvianu
acturing company, on special orders.
It will bo provided with two 20-horse-power
gasoline engines, stationed near
tho stern, that will operate separately
or In conlunctlon; two powerful pro
pellers enclosed In apartments made air
tight bv the constructional Idea of tho
German Inventor. T.y this trick of con
struction the propellers are made to
work in solid water, which multiplies
manv times their moving power, without
nnv perceptible difference In depth of
draught of the boat. Not alone In prac
tical results In point of draught Is this
alr-exelullng space allotted to the pro
pellers helpful to their successful oper
ation. Hv means of this solid watep
box enclosure they are well out of dan
ger's way from . obstructions likely to
be encountered In plying up and down
tho river where the owners expect to
float their craft.
Tho craft will be eaulpred at tho
bow with a powerful hand-wench, from
whi"h a hawser mny bo cast for the
purpose of lashing to logs or drifts at
the will of the operator ancV. towed as
may be desired.
The owners are sanguine of meeting
conditions necessary for navigating the
river when tne water is at Its lowest
ebb, as the boat when loaded will draw
not to exceed IS Inches nnd without
cargo nnly 11 Its average estimated
speed per hour Is placed at 12 miles
when equipped and ready for service.

Astoria, Or., Aug. 11 During the
month of July 12 vessels were dis
patched from Astoria, loaded with 16,

MARINE NOTES.
tngged and unlicensed docs was an act
of necessity, for It is estimated that
Chicago has a dog population of over
100.000, only 60,000 being properly
licensed. Three more patrolmen nave
been nssigned to duty on tho dog catch
ers' wagons nnd orders have been Issued
from headquarters to kill every dog
that cannot be captured. This crusade
against the dog pest will be continued
the officials sav, until the frost Ib on
the pumpkin. It Is expected that last
years dog death record will be more
than tripled. So far this year the
fatalities from hvdrophobla have been
few. but n lsrse number of people have
been treated at Pasteur Institutes, nnv
having had oyer 200 cases. Out of this
200 or more, there was only one casf
which developed into hydrophobia. In
several cases no help could be rendered
bv the treatment and these were Imme
diately sent to hospitals to wait for
death.'
Customs Inspectors Cntch Violators
of Law After Dark.
Customs Inspectors, under Chief In
spector CJIesy, are keeping a sharp
lookout for violators of the navigation
laws on the Willamette. A number of
boats were hailed last night and their
owners warned against operating with
out proper lights.
One sailboat starting out on a week's
rrulso had no sidelights, and the navi
gator was sent back to comply with the
rules before starting out. A launch
was Ftopped blcauso her sidelights wire
not properly arreened.
Chief Inspector Giesv savs that some
leniency has been shown because the
new law requiring sidelights for sail
boats has been effective only a few
days, but arrests will be made If viola
tions are discovered after due notice has
been given.
