 two distinct bodies are employed-the
 longshoremen and the grain handlers
 and there is in addition a government
 inspector.
 The grain handlers, with their trucks,
 form the first link in the chain of

 they receive son their trucks seventeen
 and eighteen sacks of wheat from the

 atthe electric conyeyer or, to the chute
 As in all other things, the labor and

 wheat was loaded into vessel, the

 tric conveyer, by means of an endless belt, receives the sack of grain, earring 1t up the inclined plane and drops it
 into the hole as easily and quickly as it is thrown down the chute, as is done with lower vessels. In the trans- ferring of the grain to the oonveyer or
 chute fifty and sixty men, with trucks, are employed. Two men take sacks oft

How the Cargo, of Wheat Is Placed
 Aboard.
 From the time of sowing until its final consumption wheat has an en- chantment peculiarly it's own, and it's witchery has formed the groundwork for both romance and tragedy. Not the least of its fascination is it's ship ment, and to see steady stream of the golden cereal pouring into the hold of a vessel is ever alluring. Many fac- tors enter into the process of trans portation of the wheat from the pro- ducer to the consumer, and the pit" the railroads, the ocean, with all their side lines of labor, play the prominent part.
 Portland's foreign distribution of wheat requires yearly average of something like a hundred vessels-the number sometimes going up to hun dred and flfty-and the loading of these ships is the final chapter in a story of sowing and reaping, huying and selling. In the transportation of the wheat the railroads are first utili- zed, and the wheat is brought to the docks by the trainloads. Although ex- amined and graded when brought, it's arrival at the dock means a repetition of such examining and grading be- fore it is loaded into the ships.
 The actual shipment of wheat for foreign ports begins with the sale of a cargo and the charter of a vessel. | is chartered and arrives at the dock the first work is to ''line" her, which means the sheathing of the hold with rough lumber, the latter covered with burlap or cheap cloth.

RED
It's the Red Blood COrpuscles That
 Proper Food Makes.

A Tifin, O., woman says Grape-Nuts food gave her good red blood and re- stored the roses of youth to complex ion that had been muddy and blotchy. She says:
 For ten years had stomach trou- ble which produced a breaking out on my face. The doctors gave it long Latin name, but their medicines failed to cure 1t. Along with this l had ire dl1erlt headaches, nervousness and al- ways pain in my stomach after meals.
 'T got disgdsted with the drugs, stopped them and coffee off short, and quit eating everything but fruit and Grape-Nlits, with Postum Food Coffee for my table beverage. The headaches, stomach trouble, and nervous weak ness disappeared almost like magic, which showed that when the cause was removed and good food and drink used nature was ready to help. My blood was purified and my complexion be- came like young girls, while my weight was increased from ninety to 100 pounds in a few months-good, solid, firm flesh, where it used to be soft and fiabby.
 T recommended Grape-Nuts and Postum to my friend, Maud W, @ who was afflicted as I had been. She followed my advice, and in a short time was restored to complete health, and in about eight months her weight increased from 100 to 148 pounds. "our doctor, observing the effect of < fGrape-Nuts and Postum in our eases, declared the other day that he would hereafter prescribe these food products for gastritis."

TOUCHES CITIZENSHIP OF
MAN FROM PORTO RICO
Court Takes Up the First Question
Raised of Its Kind

WASHINGTON d. c., Jan. 26.-The
United States court of claims TODAY
heard arguments in the case Of Mar
clsso Basso VS.. the United States for
the recovery of $1,000, the amount of a
fine imposed upon him in 1899 for
bringing goods into Porto Rico from
the United States without entering or
paying duty. Counsel for the claimant
contended that native inhabitant of
Porto Rico is a citizen of the United
States and therefore is entitled to the
rights of a citizen to sue in this court
Tor the recovery of a fine Illegally COL
leeted. 1t was also commended that if
not citizens, the native inhabitants of
Porto Rico are yet entitled to sue in
this court because the jurisdiction of
the court is not limited to suits brought
by citizens and aliens, subjects of
friendly powers who accord to our citi-
zens the right to sue their govern
ments. This question has never before
been raised before the courts.
The contention of the government is
that the claimant is not now and never
was citizen or an inhabitant of the
United States. nor is he a citizen or a
subject Of any foreign government
within the meaning of section 1868 of
the Revised Statutes, and therefore the
court is without jurisdiction.

BERLIN. Jan. 26.-AIthough MoeHer,
Prussian minister of commerce and in
dustry, announced in the reichstag re-
Gently that the government was not
willing to undertake a revision of the
general mining laws during the exist
ing strike, a conference Wednesday
evening with Chancellor Won Buelow
apparently led to different conclusions.
AZ semi official statement now says the
Prussian ministry will soon lay before
the diet bill for so rivising the law
as to be equivalent to granting all the
essential demands of the strikers.
1t will regulate the hours of work,
Including the time allowed for descend
ing and ascending shafts; regulate
overtime and extra shift work; pro-
vide for the election of operatives COM
mittees which will act on behalf of
their comrades in dealing with en-
pIoyers and especially have part in the
administration of sick funds, which en-
ployes contribute voluntarily, or as
fines; prohibit the so-called annulling
or refusing to pay miners anything on
a certain percentage of refuses and fix
the amount OF fines for specified
period.
The governments decision to act in
the manner indicated makes a good
impression, and it is believed will has
ten the resumption of work in the
mines. The Vossische lettings Essen
correspondent says the publication Of
the facts gives the leaders of the strik-
ers great satisfaction, and they are
ready to urge the men to return to
work. 1t is doubtful if the later will
accept, but a decision will be taken on

owners~Make Proposition
ESSEN, Prussia, Jan. 26.-The coal
mine owners reached decision today
that probably will result in settle
ment of the strike. They determined to
inform the government that they would
accept any judgment a parliamentary
commission might render after an in
quiry into the grievances of the miners
and that the owners Immediately re-
move the grievances. The resolution
embodying this decision, which binds
all the members of the coal syndicate,
suggested that the interior depart
ment'S commission already at work be
authorized by the PrusSian diet to act
for that diet. The resolution affirmed
that the attitude Of the mine owners
had been misunderstood and that this
proposition was only a repetition Of
what was offered by the interior de-
partnent representatives Jan. IA.
Kaiser lntervenes
BERLIN, Jan. 26.-Powerful political
influences have been working toward
bringing the members Of the coal syn
dictate to today's decision. The en-
peror has himself talked with three or
four persons concerned and has given
his opinion that the employers ought
to take such attitude as to make a
compromise possible. News of the
Mine Owners association action reach
ed the boerse before the closing and
strengthened the market.
