suitable conditions and yesterday It was

Still Rising Slightly, but Is Not Ex
pected to Go Much Higher Now .
With the exception of a slight fall
reported at The Dalles, the river still
continues to rise, but not so fast as
yesterday. In the local harbor It has
leached an eight foot stage, which is
the highest yet this spring.
As the present cool weather continues
no higher stage is looked for. A slight
frost was reported last night, but no
serious damage to growing crops is
feared.
In a dispatch from Nome, Alaska. It
Is reported that the ice has left the
shore and started seaward. The tem
perature Is nearly the same as here in
Portland, a maximum of fij degrees hav
ing been recorded Vednesdav. The
drifting icefloes will no doubt harass
the early fleet to a slight extent, but
the warm weather is regarded as a sign
of an early spring in the far north.
SEEMED TO TRAVEL FAST
Warrant Issued for Arrest, of Captain
of Steamer J. N. Teal.
Charging that he had exceeded the
speed limit within the harbor. Harbor
master Speier thin morning had a war
rant issued for the arrest of the mas
ter of the steamer J. N'. Teal. The
steamer proceeded on her trip up the
river and the warrant will be served
'upon her return.
A city ordinance requires that all ves
sels shall slow down to eight miles an
hour within the harbor. Passing steam
ers are timed they leave the stwl
bridge, and af,.in as they pass the
flouring mills. Captain Speier sees that
the ordinance is rigidly enforced, as the
surge from a vessel passing at a higher
rate of speed is considered dangerous
to the craft moored at the wharves

OB. TATLOm,

I hays treated hundreds of men who hav
long; suffered a gradual decline of physical
ad mental . energy as a result of private ail
ments, and nave ueen interested in noting
the marked general Improvement that follows a thorough cura of the
chief disorder. My success tn curing; difficult cases of long standing;
has made me the foremost specialist treating men's diseases. This suc
cess is due to several things. It Is due to th. study I have given my
specialty; to my ha vino;., ascertained the exact nature of men's ailments,
and to the original, distinctive and thoroughly sclentfflo methods of
treatment I nuipluy.
To those in doubt as to their true condition, who wish to avoid the
serious results that may follow neglect, t offer free consultation and
advice, either at my office or through correspondence. If vour case Is
one of the few that have reached an incurable stage, I will not accept
It for treatment, nor will I urge my services upon any one. I trat
curable cases only, and cure all cases I treat.

J have been proving my ability,
and my business methods have al

treatment is as correct as modern
science can make It. Others may
offer Inducements, such aa cheap

my foremost claim is for thorough

Tou oan depend upon a quick
and thorough cure by my treatment.
A quick cura is desirable, becaus a
alow cure is apt to be no cure at
all, and a chronic development will
come later. I cure you beyond tha
posslbtllay of a relapse, and in half

Often the condition appearing to
be the chief disorder Is 'only a re

Skin and bona dis eases result
from blood poison taint and phys

long experience in treating men en
ables me to determine the exact
conditions that exist and to treat
accordingly, thus removing every
damaging cause and its effects.
