THE OREGON ' DAILY JOURNAL; . PORTLAND MONDAY ' EVENING. NOVEMBER 2, ' 1908. BY; MERCHANTS ON WATER STREET Promoters Encouraged by Depth of Water Found In Channel. Portland Is to have another steamship line. This announcement has Just been . tnade and baa caused much excitement . among the shipping Interests, to wftom tt cornea as a complete aurprlse. The . 'company whlh Is to operate the line 4s made tip of business men along: Wa ter street, and the vessels, which will " be -built -Immediately, will play along that waterway,' ' . . ' , ' The recent rains nave abundantly demonstrated the feasibility of . thla ' rlan. Although the street is rather nar- row lha water Is plenty deep enough to float the blfrgest ocean liner. A lit tle dredging at the old croaa streets, particularly at East Morrison street, will easily remove ajiy obstructions to nsvl- gatlon. , The ahlps will have the ad vantage of being able to load and unload their cargoes directly through the win ' dows of the business houses along: the ; waterway. , , There was considerable discussion ' among the originators of the scheme as to what style of vessels should be uaed. 6ome of the stockholders favored , a " cross between a Venetian, gondola and a motor boat while others favered the whsleback style of freighter, auch aa . Is in use on the Great Lakes, It was finally-decided, however, that neither of , these craft .would be. -well adapted to the navigation f Water atreet. and a, ' . compromise was reached. The boat to be used will be a combi nation of a mud scow and a life raft ". and will be nropelled by being pushed , from behind by a crew of stalwart city councilman. Life preservers will be supplied in plenty, as well as boathooka i to rescue any unfortunates- who may f happen te fall off into, the raging deep, v You may think thls is a Joke, but it. Isn't at least, not to any one who is r attempting to do business along the ' quagmire known is the city map as water street.; " The accompanying pho , twrraphs give only a faint idea of eon ' dltions which prevail on this "thorough ' fare', from one end to the other, Wster street is simply a tnudhole. Exploration : of its almost bottomless depths might supply a solution of the problem of some of the mysterious disappearances that have been srepprtewj of late. One . who starts across this street never knows whether he will reach the other side sflfely or sink to suffocation In the mud. ' " , --, Frequently the-riassng-e of -a- team along the street can be detected only by the moving tips of the horses' ears and the top of the driver's hat. It has been suggested that a drawbridge slm- liar to the one outlined -in Modjenkl'a report be built across the street at Morv risen, but this might interfere with the . pa age of vessels, i The merchants along the street think they have. been, very' badly treated in that this auRgritre was not attended to bv (he city before the- raina set in. Now all the filth M dirt, from the. higher I ground la waHlied"dow and settles In ; this street. If the water were clean, it '. would not be so bad, but it Is" muddy, so boatriding on the street is not ex , sctly a pleasant diversion, although It -.Is almost the onlvway to get from one Side to the other.. - Mayor" Lane this morning Instructed Superintendent Donelson of the; street cleaning department, and City Engineer Tavlor to dredsre the - channel on Bast Wster street s-that iean "going ban-, soma and up river drays can navigate successfully through the Straits. " The present obstructed condition is ascribed to the soft character of the earth ur- aernaatn. . , . " - y H - ' J ?' - ' ; I - ' - " '" Jf , , .

You! Dyspeptics Read What an Eminent Medical Man Says Dyspepsia Really Is Then Gain Hope. "This affection called Dyspepsia, is the greatest torment of civilised life, and is to be considered rather as an unnatural functional difficulty than as a structural .disease." The same authority has classified dyspepsia thus: The first form due to relations with other organs which are In a morbid and unhealthy state, which la characterized aa a reflex action. Of such a type Is the nausea and vomiting caused by irritation of brain, lungs, liver or uterus. The second form Is caused by scanty supply of gastric Juice made evident Dy slowness or digestion, long reten tion of food In the stomach, distress for a long time after meals, accom panied by weighty and uneasy feelfng at' pit of Btomach, decomposition of food in alimentary canal causinsr fetid and foul gases and the appearance of undigested food in the evacuations irom Doweis. The third and lsst form of dyspepsia. according to this renowned medical AfhL is that which accompanies some abnormal quality or tne gastric luice. combined with a partial paralysis of th stomach s muscles so that this or gan cannot . sufficiently mix ths food with the digestive fluids.

CHINESE FINES PAY DETECTIVES Unusual dumber ofjArrests of Gamblers ilade During the Past Honth. That the .efforts of tha police to suppress gambling In Chinatown have resulted In i steady - stream of gold flowing Into the city . treasury Is at tested by the fact that he fines of gamblers In the municipal court amount ed to 11,750 In October. The arrests were made by the detective bureau, so for one month at least that branch' of the police department--more than paid its expenses. - One hundred and twenty persons were arrested In October for gambling and visiting gambling houses, and with the exception of one minor raid all were Chinese. According to the monthly re port completed today by T, J. Casey, clerk of the department, this ' charge was the second most common of tne month, being exceeded .only by drunk enness with 470 arrests. -,. The attempt to Improve the morals of the city resulted in tt arrests being made. During October no one was charged with murder, and but one Sui cide was reported. r There are now 160 men In the de lartraent, and each man averaged a ittle more than 17 arrests tor the month, i Generally 1 speaking, , October was exceptionally v free from - major crimes, for not only was there no mur der case tor which an arrest was made, but there was only one Instance of. as sault with a dangerous weapon Snd but one for burglary and three for robbery.- Of th five burglaries reported two were cleared upr by the detectives, the noidupa were wiped off tha slate. Minor cases while all three of of larceny, however, were numerous, 112 being reported and of. these 40 were cleared up. . The large number of, petty larcenies and the number of arretts for vagrancy, 10S, shows that the city is full of sneak thieves and - worthless characters who steal when there is littl danger , of capture.
