STEAMER SPENCER
WILL RUN HERE

The Steamer Charles r. Spencer will
start today making the regular daily
excursion run between Portland and
Hood River and the appearance of the
familiar river craft here this afternoon
will be the first time sne has been into
this port on a regular run for two
wears. 1t was announced some time
ago by Commodore Dean that the
Spencer would probably be put on the
Hood River run this summer and this
was confirmed the first of the week
when Capt. f. w. Spencer, owner and
skipper of the boat, gave out the in.
formation in Portland that the initial
trip would be made today. The boat
will leave Portland every morning eX'
cept Wednesday, which will be the
lay over day, and Sunday, when the
trip will only be made to Cascade
Locks, at 9 O'Clock, and will get TO the
local landing bout two in the after.
noon. There will be rest here of one
hour and the boat will leave on the
return trip at O'Clock, getting int
Portland about $3.50 in the evening
The Spencer was formerly on a similar
run but has not been running regularly
on the upper Colubmia for the past
two years. 1t was renovated this
spring and now resembles a new boat
The wharf boat was towed back Il
the low water landing near the ole
mill Tuesday and and the period Of
landing near town was closed fol
another season. The river has beer
going down during the past week ant
from now on it will go rapidly. The
road to the far landing is much better
than 1t was last year, but it is still
much more inconvenient than The
landing below the depot. The Bailey
Gatzert is now fairly well established
on its summer excursion run making
the round trip daily from Portland t.
The Dalles. 1t is due here on the W
trip about / p. m. and returning lands
at Hood River about 4 80 O'Clock.
The Bailey lays off on Thursday'
for a cleanup and Sunday the run il
made from Portland to Cascade Locks

A GREAT ENTERPRIZE
COMES TO HOOD RIVER.
Carl Pa Makes Important Connection With the Largest CoOpeae
Corporation in America Back by Men Doing an Annual Business
Amounting To $750OOOW
PEOPLE OF HOOD RIVER BENEFITED

One noticeable feature of this busl-
ness, and very commendable one, is
that no one remedy manufactured by
this company is 'cure-all. Each
one of the 300 different remedies is
known and dependable SPECIFIC for
particular ailment. The confidence OF
the druggists interested in this enter
prise is unquestionably demonstrated
by this guarantee, which is printed on
every package: "The United Drug
Co.. and The Rexall Store selling this
preparation guarantee it to give salts
faction. If it does not, go back to
the store where you bought it and get
your money--it belongs to you, and we
want you to have it. "
This is certainly an innovation that
must appeal to the people of Hood
River. 1t insures safety and salts
faction because our own local druggist,
Carl A. Plath, who is so well known
and highly respected for his integrity,
is connected with this enterprise and
is stalking his own personal reputation
on the quality of these remedies, and
the very frankness with which he
takes the people of Hood River into
his confidence insures an unprecedented
success for these remedies, which are
sold under the trade-name ReXall,
which means King-of- From re-
ports coming from thousands of towns
and cities, the Rexall Remedies are
certainly demonstrating their full title
to the name.
Those who have previously refused
to buy proprietary medicines because
there was no way of ascertainlng their
ingredients, can now purchase Rexall
Remedies, the formulas of which
they can have for the asking. Besides
they are sold by concern personally
known to you and located right here in
our own city, who guarantees that
they are in every way as represented
or they will cost nothing.
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are one OF
the first of the three hundred remedies
which are being introduced. Anyone
in Hood River who suffers from
stomach disarrangement, indigestion
or dyspepsia should not hesitate tc
try this Rexal Remedy when they are
50 highly recommended and backec
with such a strong guarantee.
Mr.. Carl A. Plath is so well anc
favorabIy known for his sterling, in
tegrity honesty and square dealing
that we predict a great success fol
| him with the Rexall Remedies, and HI
is to heartily congratulated in bringing
this great and modern business en-
terprise to Hood River. We urge al
who may be in need of preparet
medicines to call on Mr.. Carl A. Plat
and learn about the Rexal Remedies
Enterprise of this sort should b.
encouraged.

WATERW AVS.

Mr. Roosevelt, I'm his address, Tues
| day. before the Conservation congress
pointed out. among other things. that
one Of our greatest conservation prop
lerns is the Wise and prompt develop
ment and use of the waterways OF the
nation. and this is true.
IL has been estimated that about 30
per cent OF the entire cost OF living Is
expended for the transportatioia OF
goods and persons from place TO place.
II has been said with reason, that a
large proportion of tho goods trans
ported costs less than $500 ton at inc
point of production Tho transporta-
ton Is heavy tax on the consumer
But the difference between transporta-
ton by rail- and by water Is given as
follows. The cost of freight by ran
is ~ mills per ton-mile, while the
water rate varies from 90 Of mill on
the great lakes TO 1 mill on the ONO
and Mississippi rivers. In other Words
while the freight on coal from PITTS
burg to Lake Erie by rail. distance OF
l3s miles, is 30 cents ton. the rate by
water from Lake Erie to Duluth,
distance Of 900 miles, Is only 30 cents
These figures are from an article that
appeared couple Of years ago IN
Popular Mechanics.
They show the immense importance
Of waterways transportation facilities
are as necessary to country as IN
dustrics. and there cannot be too many
lines Of transportation. Railways ana
canals ought to cooperate for the
transportation Of commodities from
one part OF the country 10 another IN
order that consumers may have the
beneat OF cheaper rates, which arc so
essential to them.
The waterways would be Of immense
Importance for the foreign trade, too.
The people of the South American
countries are purchasers of the prod
ucts Of the United States to the extent
OF 10000. 600 annually. white the pur-
chases of the United States from them
are more than double that amount
with direct water communication be-
tween the heart OF the American con-
tinent and South and Central America
NO that vessels loaded at the ports OF
these countries could. without breaking
bulk. discharge their careoes at ports
Oh the shores of the upper Mississippi
and the Great Lakes. Il Ia hardly possi-
bic TO form an estimate Of the impetus
that would be given TO the central
west. and. let II be remembered what
hanaats une uart benefits the entire
country.

The government refused TO pay this
sum. hut proposed that the cham Der
should sanction an arrangement by
which the women Of the hsrem for a
period OF 10 years should receive
monthly pensions ranging from s4.25 to
s2l %. The Turkish deputies. however,
still thought the ministry over-gener-
GUS. Some az the extreme left shouted,
why don't you get them married off,
whereupon the finance minister re-
torted that the women were lone and
homeless widows. and. according 10
Turkish custom, could not expect to at
tract husbands among the faithful.
Other deputies suggested that as the
women came mostly from Asia Minor
or Albania they should be sent back 20

provinces concerned jumped up and
pointed out Indignantly that the fam
