BUYING
HORSES
HERE
Oregon Horses Are Being Sent
to Honolulu in Large
Numbers

Portland, Or, Aug. 4.-While
milch cows are being shipped to
Hongkong, horses and mules are
finding a market in the Hawaiian
islands and the probabilities are that
large numbers of draft animals will
be shipped from Portland regularly
in the future now that this port Is
in direct touch with Honolulu and
Hilo. A buyer representing the
large plantations on the islands ar
rived in Portland few days ago
to ship 20 heads of horses on the
steamer Hilonian of the Matson Navi-
cation company's line, which sails
from here in about ten days. Stalls
for the horese will be Built between
decks to accommodate the number
of animals shipped each trip.
The Hilonian is due to arrive at
San Francisco Monday from Hilo.
According to advices received by
Agent NJ. j. Lindsay this morning
she brings $50 tons of refined sugar
for this port this trip and consider
able fruit of the variety grown In
the tropics. This will be the first
fruit shipment made direct to Port
land from the tropics and the arrival
of the Hilonian this time will, there
fore, be of more than ordinary i'm
portance.
Agent Lindsay announced this
morning that the steamer will be in
position to handle about 1000
tons of freight from San Francisco
to Portland and wishes to have the
merchants made acquainted with this
fact. This will be welcome news to
many of the shippers who have been
hampered seriously of late because
of the poor service afforded by the
Hartman liners, because they have
been tied up by reason of the sailors
strike. The Hilonian is expected to
leave San Francisco for Portland a
week from today and should arrive
here on the 18th.
1--WE are gradually picking up
business for the new line" said Mr..
Lindsay this morning, land hope to
find enough eventually to make the
line paying. The Honolulu mer-
chants are pleased to be able to deal
directly with Portland and now that
, representatives are on the way to the
islands to discuss conditions with the
buyers over there, extensive trade
relations should soon follow.

"TOPsY TURvY TROLLEY" ;"
A New Nerve Hacking Importation
That Is Startling i'm Extreme.

The Great Adam Forepaugh and
Sells Brothers United Shows offer
more novelty sensations and eXclu-
sive specialties this season than were
ever before assembled in circus
program. Beginning with the stu
pendous spectacle of Fighting the
Flames" which involves more than
one thousand people, the ring acts
listed number more than one hun
dred. Most of these acts are new to
America, and the artists interpret
ing the European successes make
their first appearance here with these
big shows. There are several SEN
sations that have created tremend-
Gus interest in London, Paris and
Berlin, and which have repeated this
extraordinary success in America.
Salvo's "Trip to the Moon" is feat
of hazard, daring and skill that
mocks human understanding, and
the deeds of Frederick Zobelie, in
which he walks upon his hands up
steep spiral stairway to the apex
of the tent, and then, without relax
ing his rigid, inverted position,
claps two frail looking little wheels
and reels with terrific momentum
down two steep cables to the ground,
is of the same hair raising, stagger-
ing heroism. At no time in his long
trip, head downward, does the sup
pie, fearless performer relax his up
side-down position, with toes pointed
skyward, and body as straight as n
plummet, until he has made the
seeming, interminable journey, step
by step, round by round, and up the
perpendicular height to the vantage
point of change for the fierce blood
curdling ,topsy turvy trolley ride down
the acute incline. The strain upon the
arms and back of the performer in
this marvellous journey head down
ward from the ground to the highest
point in the canvas dome, and then
descending to the level track, with
out break and travelling like the forks
of lightning, makes this athletic
achievement the most marvellous
ever witnessed at a public exhibition
in the whole range of human history.

westward extension would certainly
be built.
1t seems very probably now that
secretary Shaw's estimate of the
treasury deficit for July at $4,000
600 was too high by about $1,000
200. Revenues promise to exceed
those of July, 1906, by over $1,000
600, while expenditures so far have
been about the same as for the cor
responding days of July last year.
There is thus indicated the possi-
bility that after the extraordinary
expenditures of July are over, there
may be an accumulation of surplus
revenue in the treasury, providing
the prosperity continues from which
the abundant revenues of the United
States are derived.
The success of the Panama bond
sale is due to the intelligent manage
ment of Secretary Shaw, who had at
his command the cash resources of
the government, to enforce a price
for the bonds. When the secretary
issued his call for bids, a pessimistic
opinion as to price prevailed in the
essentially ment-bond-inter-
ested market. The secretary ex-
pressed his desire to realize around
1O4 for the bonds. The great finan-
cial institutions who have been close
1y associated, in the public mind,
with previous government opera
tions,and all but one on the strictly
government bond houses, had no
such idea as to price. They believed
that the IS of the government were
too high, and that they would be
selling much lower within a year.
They evidenced this by their bids.
These bids were all below the zone
of success. and in fact some of the
largest of the institutions referred
to bid below 103, .and were conse-
quently shut out. as were also their
country correspondents, who follow
ed their lead. Hundreds of National
banks throughout the country sent
in low bids, and were deeply disap-
pointed in the result. One of the
largest government bond houses in
the city did not bid at all. The wise
forecast of the situation by Flick &
Robinson enabled them to carry off
one-half of the entire issue. To this,
through cooperation with our firm,
they have added some six million
more, giving them two-thirds of the
total amount offered. The support
of the secretary naturally does not
cease with the receipt of the bids.
The full success of the operation de-
pends on the bonds being placed with
the banks. This will speedily fol
low, for with fifty millions of govern
ment money to be placed by the Sec
retary at his option with banks de-
posting government bonds, the mar
ket price is held firm. We look to
see the bonds advance in price i'm
mediately after the Fisk &Robinson
allotment is placed with banks. This
it is expected will be accomplished
by August 1st, as a large proportion
of the whole amount has already
been sold.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

BY local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused
nv an infiamed condition OF the mu-
cuous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have
a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing. and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to Its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an infiamed condition Of the mu-
cous surfaces.

HIS FIRST WATERSPOUT.
or,.en Sailor Boy Wanted to See one, and He Was Quickly Ac-
 commodated.

waterspout Is one of the first things 4 green sailor boy wants to see. He has read about it as one of the wonders of tho sea, and 1t rouses his keenest curl. osity. He gets the old sailors to promise 10 call him when one is sighted. They promise, winking stealthily at each oth- CT, relates an exchange.
 The ship gets down into tropical wa ters, and the boy is told that water sp.,ut may come along almost at any lime.
 One night he Is awakened suddenly. An old sailor shakes him.
 Come on! Hurry up. young feller: there's a waterspout on the starboard bow bearing right down on us."
 The boy hastens up the companion- v,y without waiting to drsss. and as he darts out on decK ne IS thrown down hy a mass of water descending on him Eks a wet mountain. He struggles to his feet, gasping, sputterlng:
 'Wa-a-s that-t wa-a-a-ter SpoutT
 The sailors are around him roaring Then he looks up above the companion- wayand sees an empty hogshead. Having seen and felt the waterspout. he descends to his bunk, wipes himself dry and turns in. Next time waterspouts in great num- hers may be reported on both bows. but he will have no particular desire to ob- serve them.
