San Francisco, August 26.-Sir Pat
rick Manson, medical adviser to the
British colonial office and recognized
authority on tropical diseases, in a
speech before the board of directors
of the merchants association of this
city, outlined his theory that yellow
fever may yet become a source of wor.
riment here in the changed trade con.
ditions which will follow the compile.
ton of the Panama canal. urging the
futility of what now passes as quar-,
antine either in yellow fever or the
bubonic plague. Owing to advantages
that San Francisco possesses over Lon.
don for the study of tropical dis,
eases, an advantage due 70 the fact
that it has a colony of 10000 Chinese
as we'll as many Japanese, FiIipinOs
and Hawaiians, he suggested that a
school should be established here for
the study of tropical medicine.

ST. Petersburg, August 25.-The po
lice department has drawn up reports
of the disturbances among the Let's

Conference Held in Paris.

Paris, August 26.-Premter Rouvier
had long talk at the foreign office
today with M Jusserand, ambassador
to the United States, It's nature has not
been disclosed, but it is presumed
that it related to American affairs and
to the general satus of the negrotia-
tions at Portsmouth. However, tn
government is not giving any outward
signs of activity in connection wwith
the peace conference owing to the
sensitiveness of French relations with
Russia.
Information from officials at ST. Pc
tersburg shows that Ambassador Mey-
ers meeting with the emperor lasted
only ten minutes and was not produc-
tive of notable results. The brevity of
the meeting is looked upon as an un-
favorable sign.

have been made here during the pas

price is now above 10 cents, there is

Portland, Ore, August 26.-The fed.
eral grand jury investigating the Ore
gon land frauds, has returned true
bills against Claude F. Thayer, the
Tillamook capitalist, son or former
Governor Thayer, of this state, togetn-
er with several other operators indict
ed with him.
The significance of this action is EN-.
phasized by the fact that when the III.
dictment was returned there remained
but six hours until the law would have
been powerless to reach the crime. In
September, 1899, approximately 100
persons made filings at Oregon City
land office to enter timebr lands III

1t is alleged that Claude Thayer and
his associates had secured a purchas

affidavits of contest whicn were sub
sequently filed led to the order for an
investigation. These cases involved
more money value in timber lands
than all the cases which have been
tried SO far.

The Chief Objection

To the ''mercerized cotton" cheat is not so
much the "mercerized cotton" as the cheat.
The belief in the superiority OF aIl-wooI
clothing fabrics is universal and we'll estab-
lished; it is based on facts, not theory; and
on many years of actual wearing test;
there's no question about it, in anybody's
mind
No we'll informed person chooses mercer
ized cotton mixture; he buys it for what it
looks; he thinks it is good.
The cheat is that it isn't good; not even as
good as it looks.
Buy reliable clothes; our label is an assur-
ance OF it; a small thing to look for, big
thing to find.

SCROFULA
FROM PARENT TO CHILD

The laws of heredity are invariable
and the diseased blood of parents is
handed down to children in the form OF
Scrofu1a. Being thus deeply rooted
nothing can reach the disease but a con
stitutional remedy. The very foundation
of the blood is diseased, and until it is
purified and made strong, those who are
Dorn with a scrofu1ous tendency cannot
nave the blessing of robust health.
