TIJE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, . SEPTEMBER 29, 1906. 11 it LETDREGON HELP" IS THE SL Chamber of Commerce Out lines Policy for Deepening . , of the . Columbia. EXTEND PORT OF PORTLAND Tax Enlarged Dtstrlct and Also Fight for Increase of Annual Rivers and Harbors Appro priation to $50,000,000. RECOMMENDATIONS OF CHAMBER Recommendations of the Chamber of Commerce as regards the work at the Jetty and the Improvement of the Columbia River adopted at the spe cial meeting held yesterday: That the Port of Portland be in cluded In a new taxing district from which money would be raised for the deepening of the mouth of the river by taxation or the issuance of bonds. The limits of the new district, it is planned, la to Include th lower river. That the Oregon Legislature make an appropriation at its next session to extend the portage road from Big Eddy to The Dalles at an estimated' cost of $30,000. That every possible effort be made to have the work at the mouth of the rfver placed on a continuous contract basis. That a call be made' upon the mem bers of Congress from Oregon to sup port the movement to have an annual National appropriation of 150,000,000 for rivers and harbors. That Portland Itself must come to the aid of the Government in the deep ening of the Columbia River is the de termination of the members of the Chamber of Commerce, who, at a spe cial meeting held yesterday afternoon, recommended that by the inclusion of the Port of Portland in a larger district a fund be raised to be -expended in work of improvement at the mouth of the river. The Chamber officially bur frests the extension of the taxing dis trict of the Port of Portland,- and it Is planned to extend the district to the mouth of the Columbia River, end in such other directions as may be deemed advisable. The navigation" and trans portation committees of the Chamber are. jointly entrusted with the carry ing .put of the work outlined in the resolutions passed by the body. "God helps him who helps himself." This proverb fully expresses the tenor of the meeting held yesterday after noon. About 100, or even more, of the leading citizens of Portland were there to hear the unwelcome news that Port land and the Northwest cannot depend upon the Government to complete the work of improvements now under way and that if Jb .pr.vjeQ.te are to be com pleted within a reasonable period large amounts of money must necessarily be secured from other sources than the National Treasury. "Unite on Pooling. Those present fully realized the seri ousness of the emergency which has arisen, and enthusiastically supported the resolution which recommended that money be raised for the deepening of the Columbia River by taxation or the issuance of bonds,, after the new dis trict has been created. There was not one dissenting or Inharmonious factor in the whole meeting, which was an ex pression of the one purpose of the busi ness men of Portland to expedite the work at the mouth of the river, even if they have to fall back upon their own resources to do so. If a new dis trict is made to include the Port of Portland, the people of Portland will have to stand the heavy end of the expense, and the citizens of the lower river will have to meet their share in proportion to their wealth compared to that of this city. The Oregon legislature, which meets in January, will be called upon o make an appropriation of a sufficient amount to extend the portage railroad " from Big Eddy to The Dalles. The Chamber made the request that the Senators and Repre sentatives from Multnomah County sup port the measure which will be introduced at the next session. About JsO.000 is re quired to make the extension of the port age road. - The members of Congress from Oregon are called upon to give their unqualified support to the movement to increase the annual rivers and harbors appropriation from J19.5flO.000 to JoO.000.000. The resolu tions recommended that the sum of J1000 be raised to be forwarded to the Rivers and 'Harbors Congress, which amount was, subscribed In less than ten minutes after ine meeting adjourned. Resolutions Are Intsoduced. 'Edward Newbrgln, vice-president of the Chamber of Commerce, called the meet ing to order at 3:30 o'clock. A. H. Devers Introduced the set of resolutions, which were read by Secretary Giltner. The first speaker was J. N. Teal, who was followed by Robert Taylor, Herman Wittenberg, M. C. Moore, the Walla Walla banker, and J. W. Bennett, of Coos Bay. After the addresses the resolutions were adopted by an unanimous vote. All of the speakers were enthusiastically ap plauded, and every one of those present evinced the deepest and most earnest in terest in the proceedings. By far the greatest enthusiasm was manifested when the speakers referred to the necessity of Portland helping herself and not depend ing entirely upon National aid. "We have been brought face to face with a situation which we can neither avoid nor- dodge," declared Mr. Teal. "Under the present basis of appropria tions made by the Government, there Is not a child in Portland who will live ; long enough to see the mouth of the river Improved as it should be Improved. It is a fact that the wastage every year caused by the elements is barely taken care of as conditions now stand. "The people of Portland and the North west apparently have no ddea of the cost of deepening the mouth of the river. That they have been unintentionally de ceived there can be but little doubt. Last year, at the meeting of the Trans-Missis-slppl Congress held In Portland, among the resolutions passed was one which stated that the work of ' improvement could be completed by an expenditure of' 150.000. The recent report of Lieutenant Colonel Roessler, of the United States Engineers, states that the Jetty alone cannot be completed with less than J2.500. K0, and provided that It is available im mediately. I want to say right here that It will cost no less than 5,000,000 to deepen the mouth of the river. "The work can be done, but there are 'two things vitally essential. One is the general increase of the National appro priations to 160.000,000 annually, and the other is that we help ourselves. The Port of Portland may have to aid In the work at the bar, even if it is necessary to extend its district to raise money by taxation. No money could be put out by GAN the people of Portland of greater benefit to themselves than through the expendi tures of the Port of Portland. Improve Entire River. "My opinion is that a policy to center all of the Congressional appropriation for the tlumbia River district to the mouth of the river wuld do more harm than good. Portland from a selfish consideration cannot afford to isolate herself from the other sections of the Northwest by adopting such a policy, as we need to stand together In securing National aid." Mr. Taylor expressed the conviction that the annual appropriation of $50,000, 000 for rivers and harbors would never become a reality until Congressman Bur ton should cease to be chairman of the Rivers and Harbors Committee of the House. He described him as the watch dog of the Treasury, and said he was In the rivers and harbors business for politi cal ends. He declared that a sentiment must be aroused among the people of the United States to become powerful enough to force Congress to increase the appro priation bill. In this, connection Mr. Teal stated that Congressmen Burton and Jones favor increased appropriations for rivers and harbors Improvements. "I want to line up with Mr. Teal," declared Mr. Wittenberg, who delivered what was perhaps -the most enthusiastic talk of all. "If we are going to wait until the Government Improves the river, you and t and our children will have passed away before it is done. The money could well be expended by the City of Portland for the deepening of the bar, and at the end of that period we would have more money than we have now. "Let us do it ourselves," . he fairly shouted. "Let us get down to brass tacks and quit waiting for someone to help us. Let us get the different com munities together and do something. The three states of Oregon, Washington and Idaho -should be taxed to Improve the river, both- at Its mouth and along its course. The curse of Portland has al ways been Inactivity and the lack of ag gressiveness, but now as never before Is it time for us to do things." "We cannot let .the people of Port land think that we of Eastern Washing ton take less Interest in the Improve ment of the Columbia River than you do," declared Mr. Moore, of Walla Walla. "It must be admitted that we are more vitally Interested in the opening up oj the upper river than taking the cork from the bottle, as the bar Is sometimes described. We have not done our share, but our people are awakening to. -the realiza tion that If we had an open river that we would have . lower transportation rates." Coos Bay Is Interested. "We are just as much interested In the deepenihg of the mouth of the river as are the people of Portland," stated Mr. Bennett, of Coos Bay. This . hearty ex pression from the Coos Bay man made the members feel good, and "he was hon ored with a heavy round ot applause. "When - Isay that the people of Coos Bay are more interested in the Improve ment of 'the Columbia River than, they ever were before, I am. repeating the sen timent of every person in my section of the state." When the meeting concluded, Mr. New begln reminded the members that It was an old-fashioned way of .the Methodists to come right up with their offerings at the conclusion of their meetings, re ferring to the $1000 to be raised by the Chamber to be sent to the Rivers and Harbors Congress. The members made a rush for the subscription list which Mr. Giltner had In waiting, and in less. time than It takes to tell It the amount had been subscribed. The policy outlined by the Chamber of Commerce, which will be followed by the transportation and navigation commit tees of -the body, will be to work for large appropriations from Congress, but not to insist that they be centered upon the work at the mouth of the river. It ls-beileve3 that the only way in which to obtain the granting ' of a continuing contract for the mouth of the river- Is by Inducing Congress to adopt the $50, O0O.OC0 bill. . . Until this can be done It is hoped that the Port, of Portland, or rather the' new district, will -furnish financial assistance so that the Jetty can be rushed to com pletion. Just how much the new district will be requested to furnish will depend upon the appropriations of the next Con gress. The two committees of the Cham ber will have charge of the movement at its Inception, and will determine the best methods of attempting to follow out the recommendations of the Chamber. The following resolutions were passed: The Resolutions. First That, while appreciating the great Importance to the Northwest and to this city of the speedy completion of the work at the mouth of the Columbia Rtver, we also recog nize the Importance of the speedy completion of the" locks and canal at CeUlo, the freelns of the upper Columbia River from obstruc tions, the acquiring by the United States of the locks and canal at Oregon City, the Im provement of Coos Bay and all other harbors and waterways in thla state and the North west. . Second That In our judgment it would be neither wise nor proper for the people of thla city, or any other portion of the state, to attempt to adopt a policy having for Its pur pose the concentration of all appropriations made by the General Government for this section on the improvement at the mouth of the river, and to permit all other projects to remain In abeyance pending Its completion; that each project should stand on its own merits and the improvements of the Columbia River go hand In hand, to the end that this great river and Its tributaries should be freed from all obstacles to navigation from lta mouth to Its furthermost navigable point. Third That, while the National Government has assumed the Improvement- and control of the rivers, harbors and waterways of the coun try, the exigencies of the case demand affirm ative, action on our cart. Therefore bo it further resolved: First That we recommend to the trustees of this Chamber that thla Chamber contrib ute the sum of $1000, to be raised by sub scription as far as possible, toward the work of the National Rivers and Harbors Congress, and that this sum be forwarded through the proper channels to the secretary of said con gress within ten days. ' , $50,000,000 Annually Needed. Second That we call upon our Senators and Representatives In Congress to endeavor by every means In their power to have annual appropriations of not less than $50,000,000 for rivers and harbors. Third That this body pledge Its unqualified support and aid in such effort. Fourth That, owing to the extraordinary conditions existing at the mouth of the Co lumbia River and the enormous additional cost necessarily resulting from Intermittent work, that every effort be made to get this work placed upon a continuing contract basis. Fifth That we heartily recommend to the Legislature of this state that It make an ap propriation, of a sufficient amount at the next session of the Legislature to extend the port age railway from Big Eddy to The Dalles, and request the Senators and Representatives from this county to support such measure. Sixth We recommend that by taxation or by Issuance of bonds a fund be raised to assist in the deepening of the mouth of the Columbia River and completing the Improve ments to the entrance to said river. In this connection we would suggest the advisability of the extending of the limits of the taxing district ot the Port of Portland so that such district may extend to the mouth of the Co lumbia River, and In such other directions as may be deemed best. Seventh That the navigation committee and transportation committee of thla Chamber be Jointly charged with the carrying out of the work outlined In these resolution, and that the chairman of the committee of this body on rivers, harbors and navigation be ex offlcio chairman of such Joint committee In Connection therewith, and that this Chamber pledge its loyal and undivided support to the cause.

TO REFORM CODE Oregon Bar Association Plans Important Campagin. -: TO HOLD MEETING TONIGHT Repeal of Obnoxious and Tseless Laws and Enactment of Sew ) Statutes to Be Demanded of Legislature. The ' Multnomah Bar Association will hold its first meeting tonight since" the courts adjourned, in Department No. -1, at the Courthouse, and it Is expected that the feature of the occasion will be dis cussion of the crusade the bar plans to Inaugurate for code reformation through legislation to the Legislature. This im portant step was determined upon soon after the organisation of the associa tion, and it is now contemplated to ap point committees at the meeting this evening with that, object in view, and report at some meeting to be held in the near future. It is claimed that a codified system of practice or procedure is badly needed. In several of the states the practice and methods, and forms of procedure are uniform throughout the several districts where courts are established. It Is found to be a gre'at help in stimulating the busi ness of the courts, is simpler, and reduces the business of the courts to a minimum. A uniform system of divorce laws throughout the country has been pro posed to Congress. .The several states are expected to voice their standing upon this question, through their Legislatures, and the association proposes that Oregon shall lead In expressing her sentiment In favor of that law.. The Oregon statutes contain a great many obnoxious and useless laws. They are In fact burdened with matter that is no longer needed. The association and its kindred associations throughout the state, will demand, the repeal of , these laws. Many of them are fully covered by sub sequent legislation more nearly meeting the .demands of the changed conditions In the stat. Some few laws are needed, and needed badly, and It is proposed that the bar associations throughout the state, shall demand their enactment. Rules and regulations for the better con duct of the members of the bar have been established and are being zealously - en forced, to the end that the high stand ard of the profession may be main tained. Matters of local and of general Import are discussed at its meetings and already much good Is manifested through its agency. Some time ago several applications for membership were referred . to a special examining committee for Investigation and report, and these reports will be read at this meeting. There was exhibited auite a fight upon the proposed schedule of fees, which will come up for final adjustment and adoption this evening. There has been an urgent demand by the members for a competent legislative com mittee and no doubt that committee will be named at this session. The meeting tonight will be the first one held since the courts adjourned for the Summer vacation, and during the Inter val a deal of business has accumulated. A full attendance is expected as the in terest upon many of the matters before SELECT YOUR COAT From the Largest Stock oh the Coast EXTRA SPECIAL! $10 Plaid Silk Petticoats TODAY $4.98 Good quality silk in assorted colors, full flounce. , Any $30 Suit in the House, ft Todays Only . -. .

The East Side Improvement Associa tion has discovered that an attempt Is to be made to occupy a portion of East Alder street between Twelfth and Thir teenth with buildings. The portion of the street .in question is the direct avenue from Twelfth street to the Central school and new East Side High school buildings, and has been used by the school district for over 25 sears. When the school grounds were bought it was acreage prop erty and East Alder street was not dedi cated or opened as a public thoroughfare from Twelfth east to Fourteenth. In fact, the school district owns the street - be tween the two schoolhouses and the old Central schoolhouse was built upon the street purposely so as to prevent its ever being used. Since the old building has been torn down and two new ones have been built, the street is open ground, but belongs to the district Just the same. It is now asserted that the owners of the property adjoining East Alder be tween Twelfth and Thirteenth are claim ing the unused street and are preparing to erect buildings upon It, and the Im provement Association will endeavor to prevent this by making an effort to have the street condemned by the city and Im proved all the way through. Including that part owned by the school district. . If a part, of tlje street is to be cov ered with buildings it will close the old avenue to the school grounds. Some le gal questions may arise before the mat ter is settled, as it is not known Just now who holds the last title to- the street, for it was never dedicated when the lots were platted. It was' originally in the old James B. Stephens donation- land claim, but was sold by Mr. Stephens In acreage tracts. The- , school district bought its property from a widow named Smith, who is long since dead, and It is possible that her heirs may come forward to claim that portion of East Alder street which Is now in dispute. Of the old-timers of 25 years ago who engineered the deal which secured the school property but three are known to be alive now. They are: M. C. George, Joseph Buchtel and Claude Thayer. 7 REFUSES TO SERVE NEGRO Bartender Then Has Colored Editor Arrested for Disorderly Conduct. Because the bartender at Vigneux's' saloon .drew the color line and would not serve A. D. Griffin, editor of the Portland New Age, the latter called for an explanation and was arrested for disorderly conduct. "We serve no coons here," the bar keep is alleged to have said when Grif fin asked him to "draw one' "As it happens, I am not a coon," retorted the colored editor. "We don't serve niggers, either,'' quoth the beerjerker. "I am not a nigger, either," said Griffin. ' "Well, what are your' was asked. "I am a negro,'! was the reply. "We don't serve coons, niggers or negroes," said the presiding genius at Vigneux's. "Get out." Griffin says he then asked for an explanation, and this led to his arrest by a convenient policeman, who led the colored man to the Police station, where he was booked on a charge of disorderly conduct. When he was searched a revolver was found in his pocket, and the -charge was changed to that of carrying concealed weapons. Griffin explained the presence of the pistol by the iant that he-Is in the habit of leaving hap office after night, and says he carries the-weapon to ensure his safety, .as he lives several blocks from the car. Captain Slover sought to fix bail at 100 for carrying the gun. but Griffin called up Judge TODAY Any $16.50 Coat 1 in the house, $72 Coats, $4H - , ... v. vrMm'heA for Griffin's V 1. 1 L 1 ui, D HJ y . good conduct, and Instructed the police to let nim so.
