Reports today are that a strong pos

have been secured. Kerr, Qlfford &

steamer Strathesk for Puget sound
loading,
Securing of practically all the ton
nage necessary for the transporting of
this year's grain will have a good ef
fect on the lumber buslnese.'say ex
porters. The high rates for grain
which have been prevailing since the
outbreak of the war have made the
carrying of lumber practically a for
bidden traffic. Shipowners realize
that they have secured about all they
will of the grain .business and will
now be willing to offer their vessels
for the carrying of 'liiinber at better
rates.

a .cargo of lumber from either this
port- or Puget sound to the United
Kingdom., while the British steamer
.African Transport has been taken for

Sheriff Quins Maintains That Pris

(Special to The Jonrnal.)
Roseburg, Or.. Dec. 17. After con
sidering an affidavit filed In the cir-
cit court here yesterday. Judge Ham'
11 ton Issued an oral order to the effect
that Mr atul t :
irT Mr. ana Mrs. J. A. Farnam, par-
f Farnam. who is held In
dered Edna Morgan near Glendale last
week, should be given the privilege of
conversing wits their son at reason
able times, and that Sheriff Quine
should give the prisoner- proper pro
tection against annoyance and Insult
during the time he is in custody. -
Attorney W. W. Cardwell. in his ap
plication for the order, claimed that
Dr. Kauffman. formerly of Glendale,
wno adopted Edna Morgan's little sis
ter at the time of her mother's death.
has repeatedly referred to Roy Far
nam in vile and indecent terms, that
Sheriff Quine had either refused or
neglected to protect the prisoner from
insult, and that Farnam's parents bad
been denied., the privilege of visiting
witn their son in the county Jail
The attorney also contended that the
prisoner had been "bully-ragged" by
the prosecuting officers In the hope
mat tney might break down his ner
vous system.
Sheriff. Qulne asserts that only once
nas ne refused the Farnams permis
slon to see their son. Wednesdav
morning, he says, when he went to the
Jail to take Farnam to his parents he
casually remarked: "Well, how are you
this morning, Farnam?" and that
irarnam retorted with an oath, "it's
none of your business how I am this
morning." For that, he says, he told
Farnam he could etay in Jail until
he had cooled off.
Quine also asserts that Farnam was
not "bully-ragged" by the prosecut-
ing officials. iut was mere.lv rimn
the ordinary questioning.' and that no
wue names were cast at Farnam in
nls presence.
The grand Jury's investigation of
tne morgan murder is about half com.
pleted.
To Standardize Grade Work.
That Portland school work may be
made standard with that of other
cities, City School Superintendent Al
derman will ask the school board this
afternoon to eliminate the ninth grade
from the elementary schools, leaving
me eigni graaes wnich were usual be
fore the change made when Frank Rig
ler wan superintendent. It is said that

Practical Prescription
Against Stomach Acidity
Nine-tenths of all cases of stom
ach trouble nowadays are caused by
too much acid. In the beginning the
stomach Itself is not diseased but if
this acid condition is allowed: to con
tinue, the acid Is very likely to eat
into the stomach walls and "- produce
stomach ulcers which may render a
radical surgical operation necessary
even to prolong , life. Therefore, an
"acid stomach'.' is really a dangerous
condition and should be treated furi
ously. It is utterly useless I to take
pepsin 'and ordinary stomach 1 tablets.
The excess add or stomach hvDpr.
acidity must be neutralized by, the ad

Advises Lime
for Tuberculosis
According to the Journal of the
American Medical Association (July
27. ma. Page 308), Dr. C. P. Biaen,
of Minneapolis, holds that a "de
ficiency of calcium" (11ms) Is respon
sible for the physical conditio as
which lead to tuberculosis, "and ths
therapy he advooates rests on this
basis."
- One of the reasons for the wide
spread success of Eckman's Altera
tive in the treatment of tuberculosis
and chronic throat and bronchial
troubles is its ability to supply the
deficiency.
It contains a lime salt in such form
and so combined with other remedial
agents as to be easily assimilated by
the average' person. There are on
record many cases in which It seems
to have effected , complete and last
ing betterment.
However, we make no exaggerated
claims for Eckman's Alterative. We
r refer that it be tried' on the same
asis one tries any other prescrip
tion, and we believe it will help, for
IT HAS HELPED In many cases.
It contains no opiates, narcotics or
habit-forming drugs. Therefore, it is
safe to take. If your druggist is out
of it, he will order, or you can get
It direct.-- - '

ber of prominent Portland Heights

It was ths first time that the chief

of those days. Proceeds of the 'enter
tainment swelled the relief fund to
$1000, which money is to be used to
purchase food for those In need.

home.
The entertainment was- the fifth
the department had given within a
