DEFECT 18 NOT SERIOUS.
Error in Constructing: Plates for the
Battle-Ship Oregen.
San Francisco, June 2. In regard to
the etatement telegraphed from Wash
ington that defects had been discovered
in the construction of the battle-ship
Oregon, Irving M. Scott, president of
the Union. Iron works, says:
"Upon the return of the Oregon from
her trial trip, we were informed that
the superintendent of the shipyard and
two of his subforemen had made a mis
take in the dimensions of some plates in
the protected deck over the coal bunk
ers, and in order to cover it up had sub
stituted thinner plates of sufficient
width, the requisite thickness thus being
made up. Instead of three plates of
thickness required by the specifications
there were four, which, though thinner,
were in the aggregate the same. Upon
being summoned before the trial board
the' three men responsible frankly ad
mitted the truth of the report and said
they had made the substitution of thin
ner plates upon their own responsibility
and without informing either the Union
iron works or Mr. Siahl, the naval con
structor, who superintended the work.
"As neither the strength not efficiency
of the ship was affected, the four plate's
they inserted being just us thick as the
three required by the specifications, they
bad seen no harm in their action and
hoped by this means to cover a mistake
they had made in the dimensions of the
original plates. When questioned fur
ther they stated that they had substi
tuted four plates on each side over the
bunkers, and described the location in
detail.
"As soon as we could locate the differ
ent plates and their number, we fur
nished the trial board with a drawing,
showing just what and where they were,
and ordered them removed and others
according to specifications put in their
places; our offer to do this at our own
expense was accepted by the govern
ment, and the plates which were or
dered from Pittsburg left there yester
day and will be in place next week." .
A Good Word for Senator Mitchell.
The following is sent, as from a resi
dent of the state of Washington - with a
request for publication :
To the Editor: The re-election of
Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, to the
United States senate is of great and vital
importance to the state of Washington,
for in him it has always found a true
and staunch friend, a pleasing past, to
which every delegate and senator from
our own state will cherfully bear wit
ness. The influence and power which this
true and tried servant of the good people
of Oregon has exercised and wielded,
while occupying faithfully that exalted
position, could not fail to be recognized
by the great state of Oregon ; neither
have his many acts of kindness towards
our own state escaped the full apprecia-

VREGULATOR
THE BEST
SPRING MEDICINE
fs SIMMONS LIVER REGULATOR don't
forget to take it. The Liver gets sluggish
during the "Winter, just like all nature,
and the system becomes choked up by
the accumulated waste, which brings on
Malaria, Fever and Ague and Rheuma
tism. You want to wake up your Liver
now, but be sure you take SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR to do it. It also
regulates the Liver keeps it properly at
work, when your system will be free from
poison and the whole bodv invigorated.
You get THE! BEST BLOOD when
your system is in Al-condition, and that
will only be when the Liver is kept active.
Try a Liver Remedy once and note the
difference. But take only SIMMONS
Liver regulator it is Simmons
Liver Regulator which makes the
difference. Take it in powder or in liquid
already prepared, or make a tea of the
powder; but take SIMMONS LIVER REGU
LATOR. You'll find the RED Z on every
package. Look for it.

tion of our people, and hence they sin
cerely hope and trust that Senator John
H. Mitchell will be enabled at the com
ing crisis to succeed himself, for he cer
tainly is the right man in the right place
and hard to duplicate. His official ca
reer, while in the senate will bear the
searchlights and the X rays, for he
has been ardent, faithfnl and true. He
has the respect and confidence of his
colleagues. When his vote is heard in
the halls of congress it is never of an un
certain sound, but always on the side of
justice and right.; His past experience
and vast influence is a power for Oregon
which no other man can wisely utilize
until he has acquired the same, and that
takes time, Datience and perseverance.
Senator Mitchell is at home in the sen
ate chamber, knowns the wants of his
people and is ever ready and willing to
meet those wants and earn in a laudable
and honorable way all' the glory and
honor which his constituents and the
great state of Oregon have bestowed up
on him. The state did well when it
sent Senator Mitchell of Oregon to
guard its Interests and ours, too, and we
hope and trust it will continue in well
doing and return him again as his own
successor, and not try to swap' horses
while crossing the stream. Senators
Squire and Mitchell are the 'best of
friends and always have worked in the
best ot harmony, and while Mitchell is
in the senate we have a friend. .

Blakeley & Houghton desire as to pub
lish the following extract from a letter
of Cbas. M. Gutfeld of Reedley, Fresno
county, Calif., as they handle the rem
edy referred to and want their customers
to know what a eplended medicine it is:
"It is with pleasure 1 tell you that by
one day's use of Chamberlain's Cough
remedy I was relieved of a very bad
cold. My bead was completely stopped
up and I could not sleep at night. lean
recommend this remedy." A cold nearly
always starts in the head and afterwards
extends to the throat and lungs. By
using this 'remedy freelv as soon as the
cold has been contracted it will cure the
cold at once and prevent it from extend
ing to the lungs.
Take Simmons Liver Regulator to
prevent illness from the malarial poison
which comes with the spring months.
Simmons Liver Regulator is a mild lax
ative that cleanses the system and puri
fies the blood. An excellent alterative
and tonic for the spring. "I have been
very much improved in health by tak
ing Simmons Liver Regulator." M.
