THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SEPTEMBER WEDNESDAY, 17, 1902. SET OFF RESERVE? Charrtber of Commerce Will Investigate Subject. ' PORTLAND HAS DIREGTINTEREST Visiting Engineer to Be Entertained Breach in Svrnn Inland Dyke Letter From Jolia Barrett. The trustees of the Chamber of Com merce got together yesterday, after a long jesplte. and resolved to go into the ques tion of the new forest reserve in Eastern Oregon. They also arranged to entertain the Government engineers, -who -will be here tomorrow, to Inspect the mouth of the Columbia. The board approved- the proposal to open Swan Island dike.- The Federated Trades had asked for the Cham ber's support In the drydock construction protest, but the trustees declined to enter the dispute. The entertainment commit tee was advised to attend the Walla Walla Fruit Fair on September 27. Members of the board present were: S. M. Clears. Lewis Russell, W. B. Ayer, W. J. Burns. "W. S. Sibson and Adolphe Wolfe. The trustees decided that the question of the forest reserve bore directly on Portland's commercial interests. Presi dent Mears named a special committee to investigate the subject. The committee consists of George H. Williams. J. Frank Watson, C. E. Ladd, Adolph Wolfe and Lewis Russell. W. B. Ayer, Henry Hahn and George H. Williams had been appoint ed to. look into the question, but had been unable to agree. "Mr. Hahn favored the reserve, and I opposed it,'' explained Mr. Ayer. "Was there not a third member of the -committee?" asked President Mears. "Yes. Judge Williams; but in courtesy to Mr Hahn I did not call In Judge Will iams for the deciding vote. My decision is not :n accordance with my personal In terests, but with my Idea about what best suits the country. It is unwise to with draw the great area proposed from settle ment, and I think the area should be left . open for the present. The reserve would prevent the development of" the country." "A country is not peopled by keeping It for grazing," put in Mr. Russell. "It Is a large-sized question," resumed Mr. Mears. "and affects Portland. Timber speculators and grazers are for the reserve and settlers and miners are against It. But in my mind the solution of the question 1& that of the greatest good to the great est number." , "Yes. it is a matter which the Chamber ehould investigate," commented Mr. Mears. "We have taken up land-leasing," sug gested Mr. Ayer. . . "And irrigation," interjected Mr. Rus sell. "But we don't have needed information," remarked Mr. Burns. "It is unwise to act without a commit tee," tald Mr. Ayer, but he refused to Berve on the body because he said hie mind "was already made up about the question. (Mr. Burns declined, and the committee was named as cited above. The Chamber was started on the subject by a letter from N. Brown & Son's, mer chants, of Burns, protesting against the reserve. "The reserve would take In a large part of the timber of the country," ran the letter," and we have no railroad to bring in timber for houses, fences and fuel. What gcod is land to the settler If he can get no timber?- In advance of a railroad, conditions should be made as easy as possible, not as hard as possible, to the settler." Trjdoclc Dispute Let Alone. Just before the trustees met a letter had come from the Federated Trades, protest ing against the building of the drydock- at Vancouver, and asking the Chamber tq side in with the protest The letter -was brought by G. Y. Harry, president of the State Federation of Labor, and A. R. Lawton, secretary of the PortlancL Fed erated Traces Council. "Is not the Port of Portland competent to deal with the question?" asked Mr. Burns. "It is a matter that affects the business of Portland," remarked Mr. Mears. , "But we have business with Vancouver,", responded one of the trustees. "I move to put the letter on file." The motion was carried by the "aye" of a single voice. To Entertain Engineers. Mk Mears brought up the subject of en tertaining the Government engineers, who will inspect the Columbia." Mr. Russell's suggestion that they be entertained at lunch or dinner was approved by the other trustees, and Mr. Mears and the chairman of the navigation committee, George Tay lor, were requested to make arrangements to receive the guests. Svnn Island DIUe. The navigation committee reported in favor of opening In the Swan Island dike a breach 150 feet wide and six feet deep at low water. The trustees approved the report without a dissenting voice. Cap tain Langfltt, to whom a petition had been sent for the passage by steamboat owners and captains, had asked for the opinion of the Chamoer. The opening of the dike will relieve the ship channel east of Swan Island from frequent annoyances. Towboats and ships are often delayed by the present narrowness of the channel. Letter From Mr. Barrett. John Barrett, commissioner for the St. Louis Exposition, wrote the Chamber from Shanghai that General T. S. Sharretts recently sailed . for San Francisco. Mr. Barrett suggested that the Chamber write the General to make an address in Port land. General Sharretts was Commis sioner of the United States in the tariff negotiations in China, and is one of the General Appraisers of the United States. The letter was referred to the Oriental commerce committee. Mr. Barrett said also that he was work ing all the time for the Lewis and Clark Fair. "In the execution of my mission to the Orient I am endeavoring, as .a loyal citlzer, of Oregon, to help In every way the Lewis and Clark Exposition. You can rest assured that I shall strive to arrange matters so tht.t you will -be able to v ob tain the best of the Asiatic' exhibits at St. Louis for Portland. These will be in a grander scale than ever before displayed at a world's fair." ' To Go to Walla "Walla. The Secretary of the Walla Walla Fruit Fair, to be held Ssptember 22-28, "sent an invitation to the -Chamber to visit Walla Walla September 27, which is sefapart, as "Commercial day." Commercial organi zations of Seattle, Spokane and Tacoma havealso been Invited to attend: "Two years ago," says the Invitation, "the Portland Chamber of Commerce paid the city a visit The Wholesale merchants of your clty"dld mbre'im that occasion to hold the Walla Vralla "Valley trade than could have bepn done In a lifetime by visits "from individuals from your city." The matter was roferred to the entertain ment comm:ttee, "with power to act D. H. Stearns was named a delegate to the irrigation congress to be held at Colo rado Springs next month.

TO CAST HIS LOT IN OREGON Yonng South. Carolinan In Dravrn ly State Exhibit at Charleston. Mr. Ashley Halsey, of Charleston, S. C, rrrived In Portland yesterday. Mr. Hal sey is one of Charleston's aromlnent younff men. and has been in the lumber business for several -ears. To a reporter last night Mr. Halsey said: "The lumber business in the South is on the decline, as our timber is getting scarce. The exhibit made at the Charles ton Exposition by Oregon was Indeed a marvel to those who previously had but little idea of your state's resources. Of course, the forestry exhibit appealed Ho me, and It did not require but little en- couragement on the part of your commis sioners to realize that Oregon was the place for a young man to cast his Jot "If I am pleased," said Mr. Halsey, "and I certainly am, there are many more of South Carolina's young men who will follow me. Oregon has gained far more than the citizens will ever realize by the displays at the exposition. The Oregon exhibit was without doubt the leading at traction of the Charleston Exposition. You cannot help but receive practical re sults." . Mr. Halsey came from Charleston via New York, and states that he heard many people talking of Oregon and their deter mination to come West to locate. 'The Lewis and Clark Centennial," continued Mr Halsey, "is receiving much publicity, even at this early date, and with all your opportunities, and so many favorable con ditions, there is no reason why it will not be successful. Portland is a beautiful city, and Us surroundings the most pic turesque I have ever seen." BOLD JEWELRY BURGLAR Took Diamonds From The Dalles Stores in Broad .Daylight. THE DALLES. Sept 16. (Special.) A well-dressed young man, giving his name as Edgar F. Townsend, entered 'the jew elry store of Theodore Llebe, In this city, today and asked to look over a tray of rings. While inspecting the jewels he managed to slip two handsome diamond and opal rings from the tray, leaving the store before their absence was noted. Proceeding to the jewelry store of H. C. Llebe he secured ,In the same1 manner an other valuable ring. Shortly after his exit from the latter store the loss of the ring was detected and the city officers notified. A few hours later Marshal Wood located the man, securing not only the rings, but a large amount of jewelry, evi dently stolen from various towns in the state. Townsend claims to be a repre sentative of the Franklin Typewriter Company. CHEAP RATES EAST Via the Norih-Western Line, C. St. P.. M. & O. Ry. Four trains a day. Minneapolls St Paul to Chicago.

The work of replacing the old City & Suburban Railway Company's track, on Third street, with new rails is being rushed rapidly, and reconstruction Is going forward on three blocks. The old rails and ties are flret removed, and carried away In flat1 cars. Then the ballasting Is dug out and the trench for the track made wider to accommodate the paving that will be laid on the aides of the new rails. After a suitable trench has been dug, ties are placed every Ave feet, and the rails strung along on the tops, where they, are set the proper distance apart and spiked down. Molds are placed around the rail Joints, and molten Iron Is poured In, sothat the Joints will remain as a single rail, thua doing away with Jolts when the track Is. used. The rails are placed at the proper grade, and concrete Is placed under and around them to hold them In place. On top of the concrete, and flush with the surface of tho street and tops of the rails, are set the paving blocks, laid In concrete and grouted with cement. When the work Is finished, the whole will present a smooth surface, which, when ridden -over in a vehicle of any kind, will produce no bumps. The track work la similar to that on Washington street with the exception that the rails are net held together with Iron rods. ' UNION MEN PLAN LAWS LABOR COMMITTEES SUGGEST LEG- ISLATTVE MEASURES. Fellow-Servant Law,, Regulation, of Convict Labor, State Labor Bu reau Are Wanted. The members of the Legislative commit tees of the btate Federation of Labor and of the Federated Trades held a meeting In this city last Sunday, at which meeting there were present the three labor union men who are members of the Legislature irom Multnomah County Representatives George M. Orton, J. S. Hutchinson and A. A. Bailey. Representative J. M. Hans borough, of Douglas and Jackson, was also present for a short time. The committees finally decided upon A number of measures which they will ask the Legislature to enact at its next ses sion. The bills for the proposed laws will be prepared at once, and placed In the hands of the members of the Legislature. The principal measure the labor unions CONFECTION want passed is a law creating a labor bureau. The bureau is to consist of a labor commissioner to be elected by the people, and a deputy to be appointed by the commissioner. The duty of the com missioner will be to collect conuIete la bor statistics .showing, among other things, the wages paid to laborers, the number of hours per day and the number of days per year the men work, the value of the product of labor, the cost of living, by items, and the general condition of In dustries In which men are employed. The commissioner would also be required to Investigate labor troubles and have ad visory power in settling disputes, the pur poso being that the public shall be In formed of the exact facts In all differences between employer and employe where the differences become of public concern. Other measures the Legislature will be asked to pass are: An anti-child labor law, and a compul sory education law. A l.w requiring that where employers advertise for men to take the place of strikers, they shall state In the advertise ment that, the men are wanted for mat purpose. Such a law Is already In force In Illinois, and its violation Is punishable by fine or Imprisonment A law requiring that all articles made by convict labor shall bear a label show ing that they were so manufactured. An anti-black list law. An right-hour law to apply In the larger cities. A law providing for the employment of Oregon convicts In a jute mill or some such factory, instead of In a stove foun dry, where they come Into competition with free labor, this law to take effect after the expiration of the present contract with the Loewenbcrg-Going Company, in 1905. A fellow-servant law, which shall make an employer liable for Injuries to an em ploye by reason of the negligence of a fellow-servant, while in the performance of his duty. A law 'either creating the office of mine Inspector or requiring every mineowner to pay to the family of every miner killed while In a mine the sum of $1000. It was thought by some that a law re quiring the payment of a definite sum of money for every life lost In a mine would have a better effect In Improving the con ditions of mines as regards their safety than would a law creating the office of WORK BEGUN ON THIRD-STREET IMPROVEMENT. mining inspector. The plan suggested Is said to have been found satisfactory in Minnesota, and ,may be approved by the labor legislative committees here. WELL-FARGO TO BUILD. SnbNtantlal Structure to Be Erected at FoHrth and Yamhill Streets. Wells, Fargo & Co. "will erect a hand some building In Portland next year. Th'ls fact has been communicated to Mayor Williams and the members of the Common Council by Eugene Shelby, the agent here, who asks that the company, because of its intention to build, be excused from laying- a cement sidewalk,, at the present time. Mr. Shelby has addressed a peti tion to the Mayor and Council, as follows: "I have in my possession communica tions from Colonel Dudley Evans, act ing president Wells, Fargo & Co., in which I am assured that It Is the Inten tion of the company to erect during the coming year a substantial structure on the quarter block situated on the south east corner of Fourth and Yamhill streets. In fact the matter of building has been under discussion for some months, and I have every reason to be lieve we will, during the year 1S03, put up a structure which will be an ornament to the city. In view of this probability, I STANDS' NEAR RACETRACK AT beg respectfully to petition your honorr able body to exempt Wells, Fargo & Co. from the provisions of an ordinance com pelling property-owners on Fourth street to lay cement sidewalks within the near future. Should wc begin the erection of a substantial structure by June of next year, which In all probability we will, we would undoubtedly excavate to the curb line, and- a cement sidewalk laid now would be a total loss. To force such a condition would be a manifest Injustice, and I am satisfied you gentlemen will ex tend the relief I request I am more con fident of your action In this matter, since I know none of you Is disposed to take arbitrary measures with any of the city's taxpayers." NEW MINES AT SUMPTER Industry on a Sound Basis and Boom Methods Arc Absent. Frank S. Balllle, general manager or the Columbia mine, at Sumpter, was in Portland yesterday purchasing supplies needed for his mine. He says that more new mines are'belng'opened and operated now than at any' previous time In. seven years, and the mining operations are being conducted upon a sound business basis. Boom methods, he eays, were never adopted in mining In Sumpter dis trict, and hence there has been no re action because of failures. None of the mines that have been opened has ever been abandoned, but improvements are everywhere going on. The boom at Sumpter was In town-site making, ana many of the men who bought town prop erty at the inflated values lost heavily. This, of course, is not chargeable to tne mlnee. As an example of the Improvement work that Is going on, Mr. Balllle says that his company is putting In a new power plant with 150 horsepower, to be transmitted by electricity, and Is making a large addition to Its cyanide plant The Columbia mine employs SO to ICO men, at wages ranging from $2 50 for the common laborer to 57 per day for skilled laborers. This Is an examole ot the pay-rolls of many Sumpter mines. Practically all the business connected with the mines. In furnishing provisions, tools and machinery, is done through Portland, hence this city Is an. Indirect beneficiary of the prosperous times that prevail In the Sumpter district MANY PUPILS PICK HOPS SO SCHOOL - ATTENDANCE IS NOT YET HEAVY. Maximum Will, However, Be Ulti mately Greater Than It Was Last Year. "Work in the public schooYs -is all or ganized," said City Superintendent Rlg ler yesterday. "By tomorrow pupils will bo well down to work." The attendance at all the schools was 10.1S9 pupils yesterday. On Monday the number was 9794. More school children are In the hopfields or out of the city than there were last year. The higher wages paid to hopplckers, and the large crop, nave caused more than the usual number of children to stay away from school. By next week most of them will have returned. Booksellers are not doing as big a business as last September. This is because last year there was a complete change of textbooks. Just about as many STATE FAIR. children have been to the book stores, but they have not spent so much money. Last year the maximum number of pu pils In school at one time was 11.259. This was early In February, at the beginning of the second term. Superintendent Rlg ler estimates that the maximum number this year will be about 11,500. The total number of pupils registered last year was 13,303. Pupils attended the various sch'ools Monday and Tuesday as follows: Name Monday. Tuesday.

Reservation Sow Ojiei to Settlement 30,000 Acres Applied For. THE DALLES. Or.. Sept 16. (Special.) Representative Moody returned this morn ing from La Grande, where he went to be present at the opening sale of the unallot ted Umatilla Indian reservation lands, pro vided for by his bill passed at the last session of Congress. Mr. Moody reports that there was no such rush to the Land Office as usually accompanies the opening of reservation lands to settlement, the applications to purchase being generally filed by attor neys, a number of whom were In attend ance from Pendleton. He estimates that about one-third of the tract, or 30.000 acres. has been applied for under the special pro vision In the bill, which gives a prefer ence right to bona flde settlers who had made substantial improvements on the lands with "the Intent permanently to re side on the same as homesteads prior to the passage of the act, and that between 40,000 and 50.000 acres were applied for yes terday at the opening sale by homestead ers. After the passage of this bill the Sec retary of the Interior had some misgivings concerning the wisdom of this legislation, upon the supposition that the appraisement made some 11 years ago on the reserva tion lands, -which the Indians had agreed to have sold, was less than their present value. Upon the personal appeal of Mr. Moody the Secretary consented to approve the -legislation. Charged With Assault to Rob. ASTORIA, Or., Sept 16. (Special.) At this morning's session of the Circuit Court District Attorney Allen returned a true bill against Renna Mahan and William Lacey, charging them with assault with Intent to rob. The defendants were ar raigned in court and allowed until Thurs day morning to plead. They are the young men who are accused of attempting to hold up Rasmus A. Olsen, near englne-housa No. 1, on the night of August 31. Fishermen to Flic Snit. ASTORIA, "Or.. Sept 16. (Special.) J. B. Rawllngs. the Seattle attorney, was in Astoria today holding a conference with the fishermen who recently returned- frcm Bristol - Bay, Alaska, and who have re fused to accept the money offered them by the companies for which they worked. Mr. Rawllngs Is attorney for the union of the Bristol Bay fishermen, and will soon file a suit in the United States Court at San Francisco tocover the amounts de manded by the fishermen. He says that the claims of the men are just and will certainly be sustained by the courts. The suits to be filed will ask for the amount of wages claimed by the men under the contracts signed in Alaska, interest on the same from the date due, damages for the non-payment, and attorney's fees. WORKS FOR PRISONERS. Mrii Ballington Booth Strives for Their Reform. Mrs. Balllngton Booth, one of the found ers of the organization of the Volunteers of America, and the leader of prison lea gue work in the United States, was in Portland yesterday on her way to New York from a visit to the state prisons In California. Her trip to the Pacific Coast wa3 in the Interests of prison work, to which she gives nearly all her time and efforts. After remaining In Portland be tween trains, she leaves this morning for her home in New York. The work- in which Mrs. Booth is en gaged ia not prison reform, but the reform of prisoners. The purpose Is prin cipally to minister to the material needs of men who are turned out of prison after having served terms in confinement and Isolation from the rest of the world, thus aiding them to make a new start in life under as favorable conditions as possi ble. Since taking up this work seven years ago she has organized leagues In 14 prisons and has 12,000 members of the organization. By delivering lectures and receiving contributions she collects about $15,000 per year, the greater part of which Is used in the maintenance of homes for prisoners Immediately after their dis charge and while they are securing em ployment Some of the money Is used to purchase toola for men who have trades, to buy clothing for those who must have special clothing for the occupations they ate to follow, to aid the wives and chil dren of prisoners, and, lastly, to furnish the prisoners with religious literature. Mrs. Booth said yesterday that she has met great success in. her undertaking, the results surpassing her most sanguine ex pectations. Nearly everywhere she lec tures she meets men whom she has pre viously addressed In prisons. Many of them make themselves known and assure her that their return to lives of useful ness and honor was due to the assist ance they received at her hands. That the work Is highly appreciated as an aid to prison discipline Is evidenced by the fact that Mrs. Booth has now requests from six prison wardens, asking her to establish leagues In their institutions. The reason only 14 prisons have yet been reached Is that she has thought best to build slowly, but surely, doing well what Is undertaken. She hopes. to live to ex tend the organizations to every prison In the United States. Mrs. Booth has one great advantage over orison chaDlalns an advantage that prison officials readily recognize. Convicts will sometimes feign religion In order to deceive a prison chaplain and secure the confidence of officials, but they never make a success of hypocrisy in the prison leagues. If a convict tries to deceive his fellow prisoners they soon find It out and they either expose him or give him a beat ing to punish him for his offense. Even those who do not Join the league love Mrs. Booth and wish to help her In her work. They will therefore not permit any one to Impose upon her. While not giving particular attention to prison reform, Mrs. Booth's observations lead her to the belief that the present sys tems need changing in several particulars. She believes that all prison appointments should be taken out of politics, that the indeterminate sentence or parole system should be adopted, that each state should provide means whereby prisoners may se cure temporary employment immediately after their discharge, and that they should be provided with the means of making an honest living. While a believer In strict discipline In prisons and In the punish ment of all offenders against the laws of society, she thinks that flogging does more harm than good, since it brutalizes both the officer who wields the lash and the prisoner who receives It She is of tho opinion that while crim inals must be compelled to yield obedi ence, they should be shown that they have friends who aye- willing to help them In a practical way, and should be made to feel that they are not forever cast off MEN EXCLUSIVELY "Weakness" By far the greater number of pa tients seeking relief for so-called weakness are strong, robust men In every other respect.
