Holding that tbe Portland city council has ample authority to require an extension of the street car lines within the city the state railroad commission today re turn! d to the city officials the petl tlon of J. II. Tipton and others, for a cross town car line on Jast Thirty third street between Sandy and Colum bia boulevards. Following the recent decision In the federal court to the effect that the au thority for regulating street car fares rested In the railroad commission In stead of the city council, the council forwarded the Tipton petition to lli commission with a favorable recom mendatlon. The council evidently took the position that under the court's decision it did not have authority In tne matter. TO ENFORCE BIRD LAW UNCLE 8AM WILL PROTECT ALL FEATHERED GAME WASHINGTON. Feb. 5. Reports mat tne Federal law for the protec tion of migratory birds would not be enforced this spring are doclared to be "entirely unfounded and mislead ing by the department of agriculture In a statement today calling attention to the fart that February 1 marked the end of the hunting season -tn most Southern states and virtually through out the country. "Every effort," It says, Is being mndo to enforce the law so far as the limited means pro vided by congress will permit." The statement was Issued to allay the mlsappprehenslon caused In cer tain sections of the country by the cir culation of reports that the law was not to be enforced. Another cause of misapprehension, according to the de partment. Is due to the supposition that the department could change the regu lations at short notice, but the law provides that before any proposed change can become effective. It must be published for a period of three months. Consequently, It Is said. It la Impracticable to amend the regulations this spring. Hundreds Die. SAN FRANCISCO. Feb.. 7.r-The first deUiled account. ,uf Htlenterrihle eruption of SakuraJlmA, on tht .aosith uraJ,ppM antath. rom, tbe,,Teku corgwe e Associated Press, ern coast oi Japa, today by mall from pondent of tbe places the loss of life, conservatively estimated, at "several hundreds." In an exhaustive report Attorney Btlpp has just made to the city coun cil a la contended that Oregon City Is the real owner of a roadway that has for years been claimed by tbe Portland Railway Light A 1'ower Co., which has been collecting rental for Its use from the llawley pulp ft Paper Co. Along with bis opinion Mr. Sllpp ha set out fully what he believes are the rights of Oregon City In and to the water. He bus made a detailed In vestigation of tho early history of tbe land around the east aide of Willam ette Falls and finds that as long ago aa 1HC6 Daniel and Elolsa Harvey. heirs of Dr. John McLoughlln, the original owner of the townalte of Ore gon City, conveyed to the Peoples Transportation Co. all that part of the Oregon City Land Claim known as the "Mill Reserve," with certain excep tions and reserving the "public high way and railroad upon said premises." Early Line. The railroad referred to was a horse line from Canemuh and was located partly on the public road. Whatever rights the Portland Railway, Light A Power Co. may have, according to the records of Clackamas County, It ob tained through successive convenances beginning with the Peoples Transport ation Co. , It has been suggested that the city, for a consideration to be agreed upon, vacate tbe roadway to the Portland Railway, Light ft Power Co. and tbe llawley pulp ft Paper Co. each of whom own property abutting. Conclusion Reached. Mr. Stlpp has reached definite con clusions, which he enumerates under 10 distinct sections, as follows: "Neither Oregon City nor any com pany owns the waters of tba Willam ette River or any other stream or body of water In Oregon. "Oregon City, or any other company or person, may take or use any water of the Willamette River, except where It would Interfere with navigation or the uae of water put to use prior In time, by some other person or com pany. 'The taking of water depends upon the right to reach It In the first In stance and whether It has already been put to beneficial uae In the aec ond. "A city whose streets border upon the water, has the right to take the water for any legitimate city purpose, but not lor gain or In a commercial sense, or where It has already been put to nenenciai use by others. "A city msy appropriate water rights for legitimate city purposes, or may condemn them where already appropri ated or used by others. "A city csnnot sell the right to take water from the Willamette River, but may sell, lease or let an approach to the river through the streets and the right to put pipes or flumes, etc., under tne streets ror water or power pur poses, where no obstruction Is made In the streets. (This Is done by giv ing a franchise). "A company or person cannot sell a right to water out or a stream and put upon the purchaser the burden of development of the water or power, but may only chaage for right of way or access to the water. Only devel oped water power can be sold by any one. "A city may not develop water pow er for sale. This Is beyond the pow ers of a city. "A city may put In a water plant, nnd. If In so doing an excess of water la obtained, this excess may be sold for water or power purposes, or may develop this power for other legiti mate city purposes. "A city may put In an electric, gas or other lighting plant and sell the excess electricity or gas for private purposes." Is City Street Mr. Stlpp Is of the further opinion thnt the city has the right of passage over the ground, which Is now used by the paper company for private pur poses and says his report demonstrates conclusively thnt the space east of what waa formerly known as the Im perial Mill, and which space Is now occupied by the llawley Pulp ft Paper Co., la a city street. He contends that Oregon City has always exercised Jur isdiction over the street In "Mill Re serve," Iteproving and repairing It, and that eventually all opposition ceased to Oregon City's claim to the street and since that time no question haa been raised. MRS. SECREST PASSES AWAY AT ADVANCED AGE Mrs. Susan A. Secrest died at her residence, 714 Jackson Btreet at an hearly hour Sunday morning at 60 years of age.

WARRANTS PILE UP AGAINST COUNTY Opening the February term of the county court, business that has attract ed tho attention of the members hns Been along routine lines. Most of tbe time during the past two daya has been taken up with the auditing and ap proving of all of the various clnlms and expense accounts that are charge able against the county government During the month, these bills have piled up rapidly as they do every month for the malntensnce of the va rious departments and the paying of the costs of the different channels of work. Some of the bills are for work on the bounty roads and a large share of the warrants will be drawn on the aeveral road funds. Tbe other expenses are taken from the various funds Into which they naturally falL An Insatiable appetite, both for food and drink, brought about tbe death of an unknown laborer at Sandy and re sulted In the verdict of the cornor's Jury of "death due to acute alcoholism and gastritis of tne stomach. From the evident that was placed In the bands of Coronor W .J. Wil son and Sheriff E. T. Mass Friday, the man literally ate himself to death. He ate everything that was placed on the table before him, called for more, rushed over to the grocery stores and stocked up on sardines, then raced down to tbe meat markets where be laid In a supply of sausages and other edibles tbere. Aften, wlnelng and dining for sev eral hours, he was found dead In bis bed In the room of the hotel. Not a letter or a mark on his clothes Indi cates who he Is or from whence be comes. The officers were unable to locate any person In or about 8andy who knew tbe man or any of bis fam ily connections. He is described aa six feet three Inches, 1N0 pounds, blue serge suit, blue eyes, Iron gray hair, sandy mous tache, (1 years of age. SCHOOL DISTRICTS DIFFER ON FUNDS Differences over the apportionment of the school funds of the districts are expressed in a complaint filed by dla trict number 45 against number 49 in the circuit court. The two districts were originally one but were divided last year and the funds, according to the complaint, were to have been apportioned In ac cordance with the assessed valuation of tbe property In each. Tbe plaintiff recites that the assets of number 49 were I6.2S9.09 while those of tbe pe titioner were the proportion between $97,800 and $C3,749.91 or 21.088 per cent In tbe complaint tbe district 45 re cites tbst the $1,326.24 has not been paid and asks the court for a Judg ment tn this amount. GIANT MOTOR TRUCK MIRED IN STREET One of tbe big motor trucks running between Oregon City and Portland be came mired on Seventh street near John Adams street Thursday, and two hours elapsed before tbe machine could be extricated. The car was delivering freight when the wheels sank Into the soft street which Is one of city's main thorough' fares. This Is the street which many of the business men wanted hard sur faced, but their efforts were blocked by some of the heaviest taxpayers on tbe street HVE CRIMINAL CASES Tbe Clackamas county grand Jury convened In session Monday and be gan Investigation Into the cases that were brought over from tbe Justice court during its recent recess. Of these, there are five, Ouy McMur- ry, held on a charge of obtaining money under false pretences; H. E. Holdren, charged with assault upon his brother E. H. Holdren; Jack Davis, and Adome Skerls, statutory offences, and Wallace Woodcox. McMurray was arrested a few days ago by Deputy Sheriff Worthlngton after having fallen Into a trap that was set for him and sold magazines to Mrs. Worthlngton, it is said. The officers declared that he travelled through the county selling subscrip tions to magazines that he did not rep resent and that he failed to turn in any part of the money to the various companies. Several months ago Holdren shot through the window of his brother's home below Gladstone after handing around the place for several days. It Is asserted. He alleges at that time that the brother had defrauded him out of $5000. The brother denies the charge and declared that there was no basis in the complaint It happened that Detective Mnllett on his way from the Portland police headquarters to Oregon City saw the shooting and stopped the car while he made the ar rest and brought the man Into Glad stone for Percy Cross, chief of police. He waa then given Into tbe custody of Sheriff E. T. Msas. NO QUORUM HERE FOR A meeting of the stockholders of the Gladstone County Fair association scheduled Saturday, waa not held, ow ing to the absence of a quorum, and Secretary Lee announced that a meet ing will probably be called early In March. Every stockholder will re ceive a notice of the meeting by mail and a copy of the financial statement of tbe association. Mr. Lee baa ap pointed Fred Roth, of Canby, to assist him In the detailed work Incident to this year's fair. Unless the plans of the city admin istration receive a severe set-back, the next 12 months will probably see tbe repaying of Main street from the Haw ley mill at the south end of tbe street to Eleventh street. It is planned to follow this Improvement upon the heels of a new trunk sewer covering the same distance. City Engineer Noble Is now engaged in making tests of the soil along Maiu street to determine the base for the sewer. Reports were made to blm that there were layers of quicksand un der Main street, but so far tbe city engineer has been unable to find any evidence of It and Is making bead way with his Investigations that will result In tbe drafting of definite plans for the Improvement. It la broadly proposed to lay a new sewer main 12 Inches In diameter from the Hawley mill to Twelfth street, the big pipe to rest 10 feet below the sur faced grade of Its street This depth will care for a complete drainage from the property all along the street and will overcome tbe complaints that have for years been registered against the present sewer that was not laid at a sufficient depth to take away the sewage from many of the basements along the street. As a result, some of the owners of property were compelled to lay private sewers. Last year when the proposal was made to repave Main street the lead ing property owners set np a righteous clamor and insisted that, before this was done, a new sewer should be laid. They contended that tbe cart should not be placed tn front of the borse. That there was Justice In this argu ment tbere can be no doubt There la a possibility that tbe pres ent vitrified brick pavement on Main street can be used as a base for an as phalt surface or a dressing of some suitable surfacing materiaL While tbe surface of tbe brick pavement Is In an extremely rough condition. It is said the base Is well grounded and that by covering the brick, the cost of re- paving could be kept down to a min imum of cost. This Is a problem that will have to be worked out later, and there are bright prospects for an Im provement of some character that will form an unbroken chain of fine paving from one end of the city's principal thoroughfare to the other. MANY FRIENDS SEE In the presence of many friends who had known her for years, Mra. Susan A. Secrest was buried in Mountain View cemetery Monday afternoon.

Circulators of the petitions said to night that at first they experienced some difficulty in obtaining signatures but after tha farmers became convers ant with the proposed plan of road Im provement they were much more easily obtained.
