said c. c. Colt president OF the Union
Meat company. in an address before
the Ad club at luncheon in the Hotel
Portland this afternoon.
The reason explained Ar. Colt. is
that the campaign to induce the farm
ers Of Oregon and the northwest to
go into the business Of raising live
stock is proving successful.
He showed that in 1911. 33.78s ami
mals Of a total Of s5,273 received here
came from Nebraska and 2s,S24 from
oregon. The total for 1912 was much
greater, lZO,s53, but the number OF
animals from Nebraska decreased to
573S. and from Oregon an increase to

LIGHTNING FROM FOG BANK
Captain of Pacific Coast Schooner
Tells of Strange Bombard-
ment of His Vessel.

Capt. A. Sunderberg of the steam
schooner Wasp, which plies between
Seattle and California ports, reports a
strange experience at sea on August z.
In report made to the Hydro
graphic Office Captain Sunderberg says
that at 10 p. m, when six miles east by
south of Point Conception, his vessel
ran into thick fog bank which hung
close to the water.
Without the fog rising in the leaet,
a violent electric storm broke out, and
for one hour and II minutes the b1an-
ket of heavy mist was pierced contin-
ually by discharges of atmospheric
electricity and vivid flashes of angular
zigzag and forked lightning. At II: Is
a. M. August s, the steel foremost of
the Wasp became charged with cleo
tricity from the top down to the spring
stay. Captain Sunderberg says this
was not the usual display of ST. Elmo
fire, as the mast gave out loud reports
as if from a powerful wireless appara-
tus.
While the vessel was bombarded by
lightning which coursed down her
main mast. her officers and crew did
not venture on deck

Washington.-The Democratic tariff
revision bill, first on the program of
reforms mapped out when President
Wilson came into Office, advanced to
it's last congressional stage when it
was brought back to the house from
the joint conference committee with
the unanimous Endorsement of the
Democratic conferees.
The measure, of course, has both its
friends and enemies. According to
the administration, it carries out
four of the party promises. Tariff re-
form, reduction in the high cost of
living campaign against the trusts, in
that duties have been taken of of
many trust made article, and the in
come tax
The measure, consequently, has a
larger Importance than that of a mere
tariff reform bill, and its effect must
be wides pread both on business and
industry, and also in connection with
politics. Democratic leaders are con-
f1dent that business will suffer no un-
toward effect; that consumers will be
benefited
Changes in the Rates.
The bill imposes an average ad
valorem rate of from 81 to 30 per
cent. The average for the present
Aldrich law is 4o.12 per cent The
average for the Wilson-Gorman act
was 39.45 per cent
Duties generally have been reduced
on all of the articles that enter into
the necessaries of life, including the
products of the farm as well as manu-
featured products.
Trust made products in many cases
have been transferred to the tree list
or the duties at present imposed have
been substantially reduced.
The Income tax feature of the bill is
expected to net some SIS, 900 600 1t
will call for tax on net incomes of
unmarried persons of $4,000 and up
wards andS on net incomes of married
persons living together, where the
wife or husband is dependent, of $4,-
coo and upwards
Experts estimates indicate a sur
plus of s16.00o.000 over all expend-
ftures at the end of the present fiscal
year.

DIDN'T KNOW
That Coffee Was Causing Her Trouble.

So common is the use of coffee as a
beverage, many do not know that it is
tue cause of many obscure ails which
are often attributed to other things.
The easiest way to find out for one
self is to quit the coffee for a while,
at least, and note results. A Virginia
lady found out in this way, and also
learned of a new beverage that is
wholesome as well as pleasant to
drink. She writes:
Il am 40 years old and all my life.
up to year and a half ago, 1 had
been a coffee drinker
Dyspepsia, severe headaches and
heart weakness made me feel some
times as though 1 was about to die.

IF I took a walk for exercise, as
soon as l was out of sight of the house
I'd feel as if / was sinking, and this
would frighten me terribly. My limbs
would utterly refuse to support me.
and the pity of it all was, I did not
know that coffee was causing the trou-
Bile.

persons were relieved of such ailments
