r THE MORNING ORE G ONI AN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1903. 4 OFF TO WASHINGTON Senator Fulton Given Send off by His Friends. WILL WORK FOR AH OPEN RIVER More Money Xeeded for Jetties, and Appropriation to Deepen the Chan nelHis Utmost Will Be Done for Icvris and Clark Fair. Senator Fulton tore himself away last night, and. with one longing, lingering look behind, sped eastward toward "Wash ington. A serpentine train W brightly lighted cars followed after the raucous whistle of the locomotive. In one window a man's head, silhouetted against the glare within, gazed intently at the fleeting city lights. It was Senator Fulton's. Wheels clattered, semaphores rattled, the train was gone and two white streaks of steel . blinked coldly in the moonlight. The Senator received many callers yes terday. At the depot It looked as If every body In Portland was trying to do him honor or to Jostle him off the earth, so big was the crowd. But it transpired that the throng was only the average number of mortals who board the O. R. & N. 'train in the evening. "Ha, ha!" laughed the Senator in the good old way. Among the very last to say adieu were Colonel D. M. Dunne, Collector of Inter nal Revenue, and L. A. Pike, who as dep uty Collector of Customs, represented L Jj. Patterson. All day long a line of celeb rities had trailed up to the Senator's door at the hotel. John Hall was there to ex tol the virtues of Judge Moreland and George C. Brownell, so It was said. Ex Senator McBrlde was also one of the dis tinguished callers. W. It. Boise paid a visit along toward 6 o'clock. Harry Bob ertson, Senator Mitchell's private secre tary, made a call. Judge H. H. Hewitt, of Albany, was conspicuous at the last min ute. Phil Stokes, of Astoria, hustled about as a master of ceremonies. Xot Talking: Politics. Up the elevator they trooped, in bevies and swarms, heavy weights forsooth. The elevator creaked, but Boniface Metschan betrayed never a tremor. "It's safe," he said. "Bap, tap," they knocked. "Come in." came back the echo. The gentlemen said kind words about how the Senator had been more than a match for Glfford PInchot. chief of the Forestry Bureau, In the debate the night before. '"The Senator understands the subject," they said. , If the Senator discussed politics with anybody, he did not do so for publication. "Oh, I don't know anything of inter est," he remarked In answer to a request for an official utterance about -politics such as Senator Mitchell had given out on the night of his departure toward Paris. "Has the delegation recommended a suc cessor to John Hall for District Attor ney?" "I don't know of 'any." "Do you know when the recommenda tion will be made?" "No, I xio not." "Are you supporting Mr. Brownell as strongly as ever?" "I presume." replied the Senator, evad ing the question, "that after Congress is organized and the Senate gets down to work, we may get together some evening and choose somebody." "Has Snider or "Watson or Gowan been appointed to the Land Offices?" The Senator smiled at this question and Bald if they had been appointed he knew nothing of It For the Pair and an Open Itiver. "How about the Lwls and Clark Fair?" "I shall do everything In my power to get that appropriation from Congress for the Exposition, my very utmost. "And the bar?" "We need an appropriation from this Congress for the Columbia bar jetty. I conferred with Major Langfitt about the matter today. He recommended an ap propriation of $1,260,000 to keep up con duction of the south jetty. He said that the present Congress must appropriate more money to the jetty at the regular session or construction will cease for lack of funds. The last Congress appropriated Sl.600,000, of which $500,000 has been ex pended for The dredge Grant." "And the Port of Portland ?" "The burden of keeping open the rjver channel to the sea should be lifted from this port. Major Lnngfltt recommends an appropriation of $625,000 for the river be tween Portland and Astoria. I shall do all I can to persuade Congress to grant that sum of money. I shall endeavor also to induce Congress to take up the bonds with which the Port of Portland has burdened itself to keep the channel open. I may not be able to accomplish this latter objecwlth this Congress, and perhaps an effort to do so would not be politic In view of the $625,000 that is need ed. But allow me to say this to the peo ple of Portland: I shall do what I can. "Then there's the canal at Celllo, which the whole Northwest country so much de sires, and the locks at Oregon City which the Willamette Valley wishes the General Government to buy. These will also be objects of my continuous endeavor." Flgrht Forest Reserve Abuses. "And you will fight reserves?" "No, not reserves, but the unreasonable reserve policy. I recognize the benefits of reserves as well as anybody. But in ray mind the lieu land evils and the viola tions of individual privileges In the settle ment of the public domain are grievous and should be corrected." Mr. Hermann was to have seen the Sen ator'off, the same as Representative Will iamson did, but was steered off to San Francisco somehow or other. He and the Senator won't see each other again until they meet In Washington. OBJECTS TO REPAIRS. Merrill Talks on Sunnyslde Fire Station Sif?ns for Streets. The City Council held a very unroman tlc session yesterday afternoon, at which tall heaps of routine were waded through. The air of solemnity was dispelled but once, and that was at the tall end,- when Councilman Merrill objected to the ex penditure of $750 for improving one of the lire stations at Sunnyslde. Ho said the city is now paying $25 a month rent for the building to Councilman Sharkey, if he had a proper understanding of the matter, and he did not think the city ought to patch up Sharkey's buildings for him and pay him rent besides. He thought that $750 would go a long way toward building a brand new structure. Mr. Merrill said he was in favor of the Improvement of other stations and be lieved they were not fit for occupancy In their present condition. The question of a $12,000 appropriation for the purpose of repairing the various stations was re ferred to the ways and means committee. Another effort to have street-signs in stalled throughout the city came up In the form of an ordinance for the appro priation of $4500 to defray the cost of put ting up these signs. Councilman Zimmerman said he was in favor of these signs, but did not believe the present condition of the city treasury would admit of such luxury. Council man Albee took Issue with him on this point and urged that the signs should be placed by all means. The matter was finally referred to the committee on streets. v An application from the Harbor-Master for a $155 gasoline launch for the use of himself and the harbor policeman was re ceived and referred to the commerce, landings and wharves committee. NOTHING DOING IN HOPS. 2Vo Orders Coming, and Growers Holding for nn Advance. "There are not many orders for hops just now, and growers seem to think they can do better by holding, so the market Is at a standstill." said W. H. Gllbertson. a hopgrower and merchant of Aurora, at the Belvedere yesterday. "Growers are holding for 25 cents or over, and dealers are not in a position to pay that price, though some sales have been made at 25 and 27 cents, but they were exceptional lots and the buyers wanted them badly. If there were any orders, good, fine hops would bring 22 cents and choice 25 cents. "Oregon has a.crop of about 80,000 bales, as The Oregonlan said. The quality Is mixed. I have seen some beautiful plants and some very poor ones. There is some talk of increasing the acreage, though some say they would not increase it any now. I think the chances are there will be quite an Increase next Spring. On the WOMEN IN SESSION County Contention of W, C, T. U. Acts Quickly.

I have a yard only six years old which ought to be in its prime, but the production has fallen from 160 boxes an acre the first year to 20 boxes last year. When I first grew hops we used to figure on a ton to the acre, but now we figure on a thousand pounds to the acre, though some will raise 1200 or 1400 pounds. I think , climatic changes have something to do with it." WOMAN WITH A HISTORY Accomplice of Higlrvny Robber Has Been Long n Marked Character. Emma von Carnap was the maiden name of the young wife now confined in the County Jail as an accomplice of Admer T. Johnson, a self-confessed highwayman. She Is a Portland-bred girl, and her par ents, Mr. and Mrs. Jasper A. von Carnap, live at 4S3 East Harrison street, where the young couple made their home for a time. A girl with a history Is Mrs. Johnson. Though but 17 yeans old. she Is the mother of a child 3 years of age. The Boys' and Girls' Aid Solcety has had dealings with the von Carnap family as to the care of the girl who has now achieved notoriety as the aid of a highwayman. A few years ago the society was about to take entire charge of her, but her mother promised to care for her under the surveillance of the society, so the child was not removed from her parents. Without the knowledge or tne solcety she was married to Bert McKinstry at the age of 14. After a stormy experience of matrimony they parted, and last May she married Ad mer Johnson. Information was filed In the Municipal Court yesterday morning charging Mrs. Johnson with the theft of articles of cloth ing from Mrs. E. C. Goddard. of 492 Mill street, which were worn when she was arrested. MINE FIRE SPREADING. Conditions in Utah Properties Are Becoming Very Grave. EUREKA, Utah, Oct. 7. Conditions underground at the four mines in the Tintlc district, where a "mysterious fire has been burning since Monday afternoon is considerably worse tonight. It Is al most impossible for any one to remain In the affected mines for more than a few minutes, and for this reason the fire has not yet been located. William Men love, one of the men overcome by the smoke yesterday, died late tonight. The superintendents of the four mines held a consultation today and decided to select six men from the working force of each mine and endeavor to reach the fire. The party, however, were unable' to get below the 300-foot level on account of the smoke and gas. Another attempt will be made, the men being equipped with helmets charged with compressed oxygen. ATTEMPT TO WRECK CAR Heavy Rail Laid Across Track on Madison-Street Bridge. The prompt action of an unknown bi cyclist alone removed danger of the wreck of an Oregon Water Power & Railway car on the Madiaon bridge about 7 o'clock yesterday morning. He found a heavy rail, such as are now being laid on the bridge, placed diagonally across the north track near the middle of the bridge, and wedged so tight that any car which struck It must have been derailed. He removed It unaided, with some difficulty, several pedestrians who passed offering no help, and an Oregon City car came up within a few minutes. University Park, at 9:30 A.

The county union Is to be con gratulated upon the acceptance by Mrs. Foster of the presidency, as she Is an able worker and organizer.
