TO ADVERTISE NORTHWEST.
Immense Fund Is Pledged by Large
Cities.

Secretary Moore, of the Commercial
club, returned last night from Spo-
kane, where he has been attending
the sessions of the Northwest Public
ity league, says the Walla Walla
Statesman He was enthusiastic over
the work lone by the 200 boosters who
came from all parts of Washington,
Oregon, Idaho and Montana to evolve
schemes for turning the tide Of immi-
grafton to this section.
1.-THE plan is to build up the coun-
try districts" he said. 1.-THE cities Will
take care of themselves. The aim of
the league will be to build up the ag-
rinultural districts which support the
citiea
1.-THE feeling Is that this part of the
country is not getting its proper share
of immigration now. Too large part
of IT is going to Canada, Southern CAL
ifornia and Texas. The Pacific North
west Development league was organ
lied for the purpose of righting this
Big Advertising Fund.
"As you know the league has under
taken to raise a fund of 100000 to
advertise the northwest in the east.
Portland has pledged herself to raise
s25 900 of this, Seattle thinks she can
do as well. and Tacoma and Spokane
propose to raise a like amount between
them.
"T'he smaller cities are not expected
tc contribute directly to the fund, but
to do their part by advertising the
country Immediately tributary to
them.
"Tne idea is that unless the country
districts are more prosperous they
will not support the large cities be
cause they depend directly on the sur
rounding country.
1.-The work will be carried forward
: without regard to state lines. The ex
ecutive committee is composed o
three men from each state. G. B
Dennis. of Spokane, was chosen presi
dent, but the details of the work have
not yet been arranged"

Treating Wrong Disease.

Many times women call on their family
physicians, suffering, as they imagine,
one from dyspepsia, another from heart
disease, another from liver or kidney
disease, another from nervous exhaustion
or prostration, another with pain here and
there, and in this way they all present
alike 10 themselves and their easy-going
and Indifferent, or over-busy doctor, sep
arate and distinct diseases, for which he,
assuming them TO be such, prescribes his
pills and potions. In reality, they are all
only symptoms caused by some uterine
disease. The physician, ignorant Of the
cause OF suffering, encourages this prac-
tice until large bills are made. The suf-
fering patient gets no better, but probably
worse, by reason OF the delay, wrong
treatment and consequent complications.
A proper medicine like DIR. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription, directed TO the cause
would have entirely removed the disease,
thereby dispelling all those distressing
symptoms, and instituting comfort in
stead Of prolonged misery. 1t has been
well said, thatra disease known is half
cured.n
DIR. Plerce's Favorite Prescription is q
scientific medicine, carefully devised by
an experienced and skillful physician,
and adapted TO woman's delicate system.
1t is made Of native medicinal roots and
is perfectly harmless In its effects IN any
condition of the system.

HOPES FOR FAIR WEATHER.
Paving Company Would BE Delayed
by Rain just Now.

OF those who have watched the
clouded skies today, none has done so
with a more anxious eye than Super
intendent Shewry of the Warren
company's brigade now at work on
the streets. owing to the condition of
the streets at present rain would be
somewhat disastrous to the company
through spelling some of their grading
work and causing the loss of valuable
time.
81 would like, to see it break away"
declared the superintendent this af-
ternoon, "but don't think the streets
will become so very bad even should
1t rain for they are graded so that the
water will run off easily and we will
open the catch basins of the drainage
sewer should 1t rain hard"
Should 1t rain hard enough to mud
dy the streets Mr.. Shewry says he will
have planks placed to serve as tenn
porary cross walks in place of those
that have bee ntorn away.

GRAIN FLEET
ON COLUMBIA
THREE BOATS NOW Ply
ING ON MIDDLE, RIVER.
Fifty Thousand Sacks Contracted
Near Wallula New Wharf ut Ho-
ver-Upper River Fleet Connects
With Portage Train and Lower
River Boat Lines.

At last the long-promised grain
fleet on the Middle Columbia is in
operation, says a correspondent at
Wallula. The boats consist of the
Gem, Captain Gray, capacity 1900
sacks; Relief, Captain Arthur Riggs,
1000 sacks; North Yakima. Captain
Miller, 1900 sacks.
These are now making regular trips
between Hover and Cello, where the
grain is placed on the portage cars,
conveyed eight miles to the Big Eddy,
and there loaded on the steamer
Spencer and taken to Portland.
About $4,000 sacks have been con-
tracted for in this vicinity, while a
much greater amount will be fur
nished by down river points. A
wharf has been constructed at Hover,
and another on this side at the end of
the railroad spur about a mile above
the ferry.
In addition to the grain fleet three
other boats are in operation, carrying
passengers and railroad supplies.
They are the Norma, Captain Baugh-
man, belonging to the Regulator line
of Portland, which makes two round
trips weekly; the Todd and the Matte
| c. Hover.
The last down trip the Norma had
as passengers Chief Engineer Darling
Engineer Schultz, Contractors Sims
Shields, Cochrane and Grano, on 6
tour of inspection of the North Bani
road, besides 1876 workmen. She alsC
carried large amount of freight
Close connection is made at Th'
Dalles with Portland boats.

Realizing the danger they gave an
alarm and fought the fire with boards
until the arrival of the fire depart
ment.
An alarm was given for the central
companies and upon reaching the
scene the fire was soon eXtinguished.
Practically no damage was inflicted,
as only the manger in two of the stalls
was charred.
How the fire started is matter OF
mystery, but it is presumed a light
was carelessly dropped In the straw
by some one earlier in the evening.
However, it may have been the work
OF an incendiary.

FIRE IN STOCK SHEDS.
Small Blaze Discovered, But Was
Quickly Extinguished.

That serious fire did not occur at
the district fair stockyards last night
was due to the fact that the blaze
was discovered before it had gotten
under headway. Shortly after 10
O'Clock George Ferguson, of the
Teutsch store, and Fred Hamilton, the
o. R. & n. brakeman, were passing
along Webb street, when they noticed
a light in the north end of the shed.

lar to that proposed by Mr.. Gillespie
in the house.

ton or trust in which the railroads
are interested. and whether any Of the
railroad companies control the output
of coal or fix it's prices. The commits
sion also is directed to investigate the
system of car distribution and also
whether there is discrimination against
shippers, either in the matter Of dis
tribution of cars Or otherwise. The

Willemstad, Curacao, Friday, Feb: 9.
One report from Venezuela is that

blockade. 1885,.
It is reported also that General An

has secret understanding with France,

All the turmoil over the French Cable

President Castro is said to be boast

The reports say that the best infor-

President Castro, and that anxiety is
everywhere expressed for the arrival
Of the French to solve the problem,

Root Seeks Safeguards.
BY the Associated Press. ~ Z

Washington, Feb. 12.-While not re-
garding an antiforeign uprising in
China as exactly imminent, Secretary
Root. is convinced that it is his duty
to pursue the course he has already out
lined for the protection Of American
life and property in China. He has not
hesitated to express this view to his
congressional callers. Advices from the
orient are disquieting from this fact,
that it is clearly established that the
Chinese government, while not perhaps
exactly aiding the development of this
antiforeign sentiment, has not exerted
itself to prevent the spread Of the anti
American boycott, notwithstanding nu-
merous proclamations by the viceroys.
So, Mr.. Root will continue to urge upon
Secretary Taft the adoption Of proper
military precautions to meet this policy
of preparation for any emergency.
Reports from officers returning from
the east are to the effect that the Jap
anese do not appear to be involved in
this wave of antiforeign3 sentiment in
China.
The troops which were ordered to the
Philippines that this government might
be prepared for any eventuality, are
now enroute to the islands. It was
stated today that the war department
would be able to take care of them and
would have sufficient funds to provide
for the increased force in the Philip
pines.

Grew Was in Panic Over
Scourge. 49, ..

New York, Feb. 12-One month on
the Atlantic ocean with the entire ship
converted into a smallpox hospital and
quarter of the crew i'll with this dis
ease, was the experience of the whal-
ing brig Sullivan of New London,
Conn. The story Of the smallpox out
break on the whaler was told today by
Mrs. NJ. J. Haggerty, wife of the cap
tain of the Sullivan, who arrived here
today from, Rio de Janeiro on the
steamer italian Prince.
The whaling vessel put into Rio de
Janeiro after two of it's crew had died
of smallpox and with seven others ill
with the disease and the twenty-seven
! remaining members of the crew frantic
to get ashore. The cruise began, Mrs.
Haggerty said, last October from the
island of Fayal in the Azores. After
the brig had been out some time the
smallpox started with one case. The
disease spread until nine sailors were
i'll. Days followed when, owing to the
fear which spread among the members
of the crew, the brig drifted along al
most like deserted ship. = -. {.
With Mrs. Haggerty on board the
vessel were her two children After
landing at Rio de .Janeiro she remained
until the disease had been stamped out

Annapolis, Feb. 12.-The career of
the class Of 1906 at the naval academy
was brought to it's close officially in
the magnificent new armory this morn
ing when Secretary of the Navy Charles
j. Bonaparte delivered to 10l members
the presence Of $500 persons, In the
large crowd were the families and
friends of the graduates from all over
the country, and while not mark ed with
the ioyousness of similar occasions IN
the past, the scene was an impressive
and beautiful one.
The speech of the secretary did not
refer in anyway to the present cond1-
tiens at the academy, which, however,
have materially affected the traditional
gayety of the occasion and cast dam
per over the whole weeks ceremonies.
His address was short.
At the close Of his remarks the sec

SOLACED BURGLAR.
~
He Declared He Was No Worse
Than Stock Market Captains N
of Industry.
Journal Special Service.

Journal Special Service.
Chicago, Feb. 12.-Edward Dunlap,
a burglar, who died last Friday in JEFF
ferson hospital here, wrote before his
death history Of his criminal life, in
which he declared that his acts as a
burglar were no more reprehensible than
those OF high .fnaneiers. Dunlap made
market captains of industry, asserting
that the moneyed chiefs were quite as
criminal as he ever was.
The manuscript Of the dead man, who
willed his brain to scientific research,
is in sthe possession of DR.. J. Chalmers
Da Costa Of Jefferson hospital, thru
whose efforts Dunlap was released from
story Of Dunlap IS life, as told by him
self, is entitled "The Life and Crimes
of a Burglar
Dunlap narrated how he committed
crime by robbing banks and dwellings,
and declared that there was little diff
ference between his lawbreaking and
the. operations of high fnanciers; He
and other crimes which he committed,
never did he take. life, whereas the
ruin wrought by the stock market has
been responsible for many b1ghted
career and many death. The men
high up in financial circles are the real
criminals, he wrote, but declared IN
this connection that they were not near
ly so dexterous in robbery as an OUT
and-out, burglar, who enters the 6an I
and makes safe his escape with the loot.
The burglar declared that the school
of the old burglar is now extinct, and
/ he added that the criminal Of the pres
,ent day does his robbing thru the stock
market. A most interesting feature OF
the book is Dunlap's account Of his
life and the manner in which heworked
enaTafad IN this me- manner as he had
wish to draw others into wrongdoing.
This, the burglar insisted, proved his
contention that he was not a burglar
of his own free will, but that his pc
culiar brain was responsible Tor his
criminal life.

OLD TREATY MAY
SAVE TARIFF WAR
Pact with Prussia Contains Clause
Requiring Years Notice
Il for Annulment.
journal Special Service.

Journal Special Service.
Washington, Feb. 12.-Trade war be-
tween the United States and Germany
may be averted for another year and
the maximum tariff rates on American
goods imported into Germany may not
be imposed March l next.
Secretary Root and the other officials
of the department of state were under
the impression that they had exhausted
every resource in endeavoring to pre-
vent commercial war, but they have
discovered a means by which the war
may be postponed for twelve months,
and in the meantime some legislation
may be enacted which will permanently
adjust the differences.
It has been discovered, that the
treaty Of 1928 between Prussia and the
United States, which contains the most
favored nation cause. has not been re-
nounced and that a year s notice is re-
quired to be given before this treaty
becomes inorperative.
If any relief for the United
States is to be obtained from
this source, however, it means the
threshing over again of an old diplo,
matte controversy which was thoroly
ventilated in 1899 and 1900 by the late
Secretary Hay and Count Won Holleben
then the German representative to the
United States. IT was out Of that
correspondence that the present agree
ment with Germany was reached.
