-to .the Site Selected. - -
The -amusement-loving people . of this
city will doubtless welcome the advent of
a new pleasure resort. Council Crest, on
Portland Heights, the well-known view
point of this ity. is the site selected.
The lessees and promoters of this en
terprise are Van W. Anderson and Leland
L. Smith, real estate dealers, with offices
in the McKay building. The plans of the
park are nearlng completion and Messrs.
Anderson and Smith are now placing the
concessions. An experienced manager is
soon to be placed in charge of the detail
work of the enterprise.
The tract which has been leased com
prises 27 acres of land, every foot - of
which affords an advantageous view of
the city and surrounding peaks, which
makes the tpot all the more desirable for
park purposes. The summit will be devoted
to the amusement features, while paths
and shady nooks will be constructed
among the natural forest that covers the
approaches on all sides. The promoters
announce that the park Is to be made the
most attractive feature of the resort.
Picnickers -are to-be especially spliclted
and children provided for In the accom
modations. A prominent local band has
been engaged which will play during the
afternoon and evening. The "drchcBtra
will be placed In a natural amphitheater,
where the spectators will be seated
around the hillside, where an excellent
view of the city and surrounding peaks
may be had. Scenic railways, toboggan
slides, swings, merry-go-rounds, donkeys
for the children, and many other amuse
ments will be installed. There will be
a refreshment tavern under the super
vision of a carefully selected chef.
The lighting of the park will be an
other feature of the new amusement re
sort. The lights will be strung about
among the trees In a manner similar to
those of the Lewis and Clark Exposition
last Bummer. The power for the lights
and other mechanical devices will be
furnished by the installation of an elec
tric power plant at the park,- which will
furnish all the required energy at the re
sort. The Portland Railway Company al
ready has the matter or the extension of
Its line to the park under advisement, and
the promoters of the enterprise have no
doubt but that the company will furnish
the resort adequate transportation fa
cilities. The promoters plan to make Council
Crest to Portland what Tamalpais is to
San Francisco, the Peak to Hong Kong
or the Tea House of a Hundred Steps to
Yokohama. Council Crest has the nat
ural advantages as well as historic asso
ciations. It" was' the .tra'ditlbnar concourse ;
ground -of the' "Indians during the., days i
previous to the visit -of Captain Gray, or '
the coming of Lewis and Clark. . It is the
spot where the aborigines met, deliber
ated and formed their plans of campaign
against their hostile neighbors. Here, In
close proximity to the clouds, and with
the grand view- afforded of the waters .of
the Willamette and Columbia Rivers, the
Indians believed themselves nearer to
the Great Spirit, and held the place in
reverence, only approaching it on occa
sions of the utmost solemnity.
In 1849 one of the first houses in this
vicinity was built, and on the site the
remains of the bas'ement and a portion of
the well may still be seen. The apple
orchard planted by Talbot still adorns the
Crest. For many .years the tract has
been open to the public, and has proved
one of the most attractive points around
the city, for every visitor is immediately
impressed with its matchless beauty and
the grandeur of the scenery.
KEAIi ESTATE EXCHANGE.
J,ocnI Dealers W'Jll Unite for Exploi
tation Movement.
Preliminary steps in a movement to pro
mote a concerted effort on the part of the
local real-estate dealers as a body were
laken at a meeting held yesterday at the
parlors of the Portland Commercial Club,
which was attended by a majority of the
realty promoters of this city.
It is proposed that .all the dealers unite
in an organization for the purpose of ad
vertising and exploiting the advantages
of Portland .throughout the country by
means of magazines and newspapers In
the East and South.
Whitney L. Boise acted as temporary
chalrm.an, and a committee consisting of
E. L. Hartman, of Hartman, Thompson &
Powers: George H. Hill, of the Title Guar
antee & Trust Company, and Qharles K,
Henry were appointed to draw up a set of
Lylawp, after which they adjourned until
Saturdaj afternoon at 2 o'clock.
Realty values in Portland have been on
the rise for the past several years, and of
late the demand, for property has been so
great that thedealers And a Tcady mar
ket. The big deals .of the past week pr
so are only a marker to what may be ex
pected from a concerted system of adver
tising carried on by the real-estate deal
ers as a- unit, for Eastern capital has lis
eyes .on the Western coast, and,?wlth the
advantages of Portland brought to the at
tention of prospective investors, the de
mand for local realty is -expected to re
ceive a.; tremendous impetus, which wll
benefit not only the deajers but the sur
rounding: community as well.
East Side' Property .Sold.
J. J. Kadderly. the well-known East
Side transfer man, sold the qu'arteMriock
at the northwest corner of East -Oak

Asylum, for $16,500. The three-story brick

mer. - Dr. Galbraith will erect a brick

Moylan Bros., local timber-land oper
ators, closed a deal yesterday whereby

ments in the Northwest, containing an
estimated 70.000.000 feet of timber. The
purchase price is given as 570,000.
Brewery Changes Hands.
The Portland Brewery's plant, at Twen
tieth and Upshur streets, was sold to Mrs
alary A, "Wilbel'm yesterday. The brewery j
was established two years ago by Otto
Meier and George Wilhelm; the latter a.

formerly the owner of the Sellwood brew
ery, and bought the new concern through
the agency of Ben Staudenmeyer.
SAILORS' BLOOD MONEY
An Inquiry From British Consul
Xaidlavr And 'an Answer.
PORTLAND. Feb. 20. (To the Editor.) I
do not for a moment believe that The Ore-
sonlan will willingly make a mls-statcment
In its editorials, but I woula, .like to know
upon what ground the statement Is made in
your issue of February 20 that "sailors are
obtainable at Portland on much lower rates
than on Pusct Sound" and that "complaint
of sailor boarding-house abuses has ceased."
As I am advised, the rate of wages on Fuget
Sound for able seamen Is 4 per month.
while from Portland- it Is 15 per montb-f
uenerany the "blood money cnarge on
Puget Sound Is $25 per man; here It is $30
per man. Both are In my consular district
and the charges In either case for furnishing;
crews are the most outrageous of any ports
In the world. Crimping is carried on Just as
It has been In the past. An evil cannot be
got rid of by shutting our eyea to the facts,
and-no amelioration of .conditions has ever
been accomplished by this method.
JAMES L.AIDLAW.
II. B. M. Consul.
The Oregonlan Is not shutting Its eyes
to the facts in the sailor hoarding-house
case. It is perfectly familiar with the
fact that conditions here are not Ideal.
They never will be until the sailor is re
incarnated. It is also familiar with tho
fact that shipping has suffered more in
the hands of the boarding-housemen on
Puct Sound this season than at Portland.
No such shanghalng outrage as that of
the British ship Scottish floors, which
was held up at Port Townsend a few
months ago, has occurred in Portland in
the past" five years.1 All of th6nicnr-
gaged in the exporting business and in
chartering ships know that conditions at
Portland at the present time are no worse
than they are on Puget Sound. This be
ing the case, The Oregonlan Is at a loss
to understand Mr. Laldlaw's. motive in
endeavoring continually to create a senti
ment favorable to Puget Sound and un
laYorablo to Portland.
DEPUTY RECORDER STRIKES
Thinks He Has St. Johns Council
..Bottled, But Is Iet Out.
Deputy Recorder O. R. Downs, who has
been acting for Recorder J. W. Hanks, of
the 9L Johns Council, during the latter's
Illness, for some time, and was paid at
the rate of $40 per month, last night
struck for $100 per month. He thought he
had the Council where it could not help it
self, and declared: "I have set my stakes
at $100 per month, and taffy won't go with
me, for I know what my services are
worth to the City of St. Johns. Pay
what I want or I'll take my hat and go."
The Council was at sea over the case
of Deputy Downs, and was Inclined to ac
cept his ultimatum and vote to pay him
what he demanded, but it was found that
the charter forbids paying over $S3 per
month. He was asked to reduce his de
mands so as to come within reach of the
charter provisions, but he refused to re
duce them one cent, and intimated that
he "knew some things" that had been go
ing on in the CounclL After this it was
very promptly voted that Recorder Hanks
be instructed to appoint another deputy.
Downs has accomplished much work and
straightened out the muddled records, but
he got the Impression that his services
were Indispensable and undertook to "hold
the Council up." with the result that he
is. now" out. Another deputy win be ap
pointed today, who ,wlll go on with the
work.
The Council transacted only some rou
tine work. It was announced that the
note of A. L. Miner for $40, long due, had
been paid. The saloon question was not
touched, although the St. Johns Hotel bar
Is running. In spite of the fact Unit the
license was revoked.
It was stated that the money used to
pay the Miner note came out of the $1000
license received.
REUNION OF ALUMNI TODAY
Former Students or High School Will
Discuss Reorganization.
The Portland High School Alumni Asso
ciation will hold a reunion at he main
hall of the High School building this
afternoon, at which a new plan of work
for the orcanizatinn rilr nrnVniViw
adopted. Heretofore It has been the
custom of the society to give an annual
reception In honor ot the graduating
class, wmcn practice aoes not meet with
favor on the part of some of the older
members, who are In favor of the asso
ciation being brought together in a social
way at least once a year. Their plan
Is to do away with the reception to
the graduates and in its stead to hold a re
union of all the members at least once
a year.
By reorganizing the association on a
new basis and providing for the payment
of a small sum as annual dues, a fund
could be raised and kept pn hand large
enough to defray the cost of socials and
entertainments for the ben ell t of all the
members.

noon in Lone Fir Cemetery. The services
were conducted by Rev. Frederick Bueer
mann and Rev. Jacob Kratt.
The detectives who are working on the
case arc -no nearer the capture of the man
who killed Kuhn than on the night of the
murder. The police admit that there is
no clew except that the man who mur
dered Kuhn was probably a. highwayman.

Ernest Cariey, 3ranagcr or the North

Ernest Cariey, manager of the North
Western Department of the Cunard
Steamship Company, Is in Portland look
ing Into the Interests Qf the Immense
trans-Atlantic transportation concern
which he represents. He will remain un
til Friday, when he leaves for Seattle and
other Puget Sound cities.
"The Cunard Line is building two So
foot trans-Atlantic turbine steamers on
the Clyde." said Mr. Cariey, "and the con
tract calls for speed of DO miles an hour,
which means that the distance from Liv
erpool to New York will be covered in 100
hours. The speed record across the At
lantic is now held by the Cunard Liner
Lucania. which made the run hi 5 days. 7
hours and 23 minutes.
"The big passenger steamers of today
are like palaces compared with those of
20 years ago. Even steerage passengers
are given the best of accommodation, and
there Is no more huddling together be
tween decks and In the deep holds of the
vessels. All passengers have their neat
berths, and third class provides dining
table with crockeryware and comfortable
chairs.
"Passenger traffic is generally good,
which is evident from the fact that enor
mous sums of money are being spent In
enlarging and modernizing the equip

HELPLESS FOR A 3IOXTir.
Captain Ilcldt Tells or Loss or the
Steamer Marlcchcn.
SEATTLE. Wash.. Feb. 21. Captain
Rudolph Heldu.of the wrecked steamer
Marlechen that went ashore at False
Bay. Alaska, on the morning- of Janu
ary 23, reached the city last night, en
route to his home in Hamburg. In
telling- of the wreck he said:
"One of the deadlights became
broken on the night of December 25,
filled .the enKlne-room with water and
put out the fires. Shortly after our
rudder chains broke, and we were ab
solutely at the mercy of the wind and
waves. We drifted for a month almost
helpless. At times we were able to
start the top ilres and get up steam,
but every time the steam failed us.
During all that month we were cither
surrounded with a heavy fog- or In the
midst of a blinding snow storm. I
never saw such seas In my life. They
constantly swept over the vessel and
carried everything loose on deck away.
We were compelled to bail ship 'with
buckets, and all expected more than
once to go to the bottom.
"The Murluchen is now lylnff on tho
rocks with a list of about IS degrees.
I believe she can be floated. I do not
think the hull is damaged. The vessel
Is owned In Hamburg-, Is worth about
5150,000, and had a $200,090 cargo
aboard. Wc were under chartor to
Bamcson. Hibberd r Co.. of San Fran
cisco, and were bound for Vladivostok."
Called on Special Survey.
The many friends of Captain F. S.
Bosworth, formerly marine surveyor
here, will be interested to learn that he
has 'been called from Bath, Mc, to
Portland. Me., to hold a special survey
on a dainty little craft, which arrived
at the Maine port about two weeks ago,
and to which the owners have glvon
the pretty name of Barbara Bosworth.
The Captain reports that his son and
daughter. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Bos
worth think that the grandfather will
find the Barbara worth seeing-,
