THE MORXIXG OKIiGOMAJf, TUESDAY, NOVE3IBER 20, 1906. 14 ELDER W1LLN0T . - LEAVE TONIGHT J. H. Peterson Announces That Steamer Is Not Yet in Condition to Sail. MANY TICKETS WERE SOLD AVell-Knnwn Aeswl May Be Tied Vp Indefinitely as a Result of Dis pute Between Owner and Op erator Yef-sel Xot Registered. The hividnn attached to the steamship Oeorge W. Elder ever since she went on the rocks off Gnbel. Or., in January, 1905. teems to cling to the vessel still. Charles P. Doe, general manager of the North Pacific Steamship Company, practically assumed charge of the vessel after she ca.me off the drydock. and after refitting her after a fashion advertised that she would sail from Martin's dock this even ing for Eureka and San Francisco. John H. Peterson, the man whose money nought the abandoned hulk and brought Captain W. H. Baker and his crew of wreckers from Michigan to the Columbia River to raise the steamer, says em phatically that the steamship will not leave Portland until she is satisfactory to him In other words Peterson means that the vessel will b? put into the very best of shape before she goes on any run "You can say for me.' said "Jack' Peterson to an Oregonian representative last evening, "that the Elder will not. leave this city until she has been placed in first-class condition and is approved by me. So far the improvements made to the vessel are not satisfactory to me, and until she is equipped with all the latest appliances she shall not sail." "Are you aware that the vessel is being loaded with freight and that berths are being sold for a sailing tomorrow even ing?" Mr. Peterson was asked. "Neither Mr. Doe, nor anyone else can rush in here." replied Peterson, "fit out my vessel In a hurry to relieve the freight congestion and send her out on a voyage. I must first know that she is fit for sea." A large number of tickets to Fan Fran cisco and Eureka have been sold for the proposed trip of the Elder, and if Peter son adheres to his statement the purchas ers of these tickets will be disappointed. Another fact that would have retarded the steamer's sailing is the fact that so far she has not taken out her papers without which avlearance would not have been granted and the customs officials would have prevented her departure. Deputy Collector Barnes stated yesterday that no application had been filed with him and when told that the vessel was advertised to sail this evening expressed considerable surprise that the owners had not secure papers. Mr Peterson stated that the reason he had not applied for the necessary regis tration was that he had no intention of permitting the Elder to leave until she was properly fitted out. He said that he would apply for the papers when he was satisfied with the steamer. According to Peterson the vessel is not equipped with enough lifeboats and rafts and her furnishings do not meet with his approval. Manager Doe and Captain Jessen. the) commander of the vessel, could not be found last evening, and their plans could not be learned. Mr. Doe said yesterdav afternoon that the Elder would sail as advertised, but that was previous to Peterson's announcement. The dispute may tie tne steamer up indefinitely. MANY CEM"EXT CARRIERS. Tiemand for Building Material Opens -New Field for Sailing Ships. Two of the tWee cement ships now dis charging cargo for TV. P. Fuller & Co. have practically finished that work and will shortly commence taking cargoes of grain. The third vessel, the bark Oweenee. anchored off the dolphins awaiting a berth at which to dlscharee. It is stated that she will remain there until the British ship Glenalvon finishes discharging at the Greenwich dock. The Olenalvon and the Inverness-shire are unloading for Balfour. Guthrie & Co. There are now five cement ships In port J he two about, discharged are the French barks Jacobsen and Empereur Menelik. the former being moored at the f'ak-street dock and the latter at Astoria Both are expected to finish unloading to day or tomorrow. Six more vessels are on the way for "W. P. Fuller & Co.. one of which, the French bark Turgot, should report at the Columbia River at any time after todav She is due from Antwerp and has a cargo of about 15.virt barrels. This firm has no.orift barrels of cement on the docks at Antwerp ready for shipment, which will be shipped as soon as can be secured. The demand for cement in tha Pacific Northwest and all alone the Pacific Coast, is taxing the importers to their utmost. The extraordinary demand may cause a rise in tne price of the com modity, although the dealers deny that a rise is probable. In addition to the Turgot. which is due. the other vessels on the way with cargoes for Fuller & Convpany are the Marechal de Villiers. Tolo, Machona. Zinita and Jordan Hill.

GIVES QUARTER Fulton Will Fight Bristol If Again Appointed. WAITING FOR ROOSEVELT Will Discuss .Oregon Appointments When President Returns Put In Word for Malcolm and Ginn and Against Bristol. OREGONIAN' NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. Nov. 19 When the President re turns from Panama. Senator Fulton will talk with him about Oregon patronage matters, particularly the Collectorship at Portland, the Registership at The Dalles Land Office and probably the District At torneyship now held by W. C. Bristol. The Senator some time ago announced his intention of recommending P. S. Mal colm for Collector of Customs and on Saturday recommended R. J. Ginn for Register at The Dalles. If the District Attorney is discussed the Senator w-111 renew his opposition to Mr. Eristol. but if the President does not talk of that office but sends Mr. Bristol's nomination to the Senate it will be again opposed by Mr. Fulton. The Senator said today that he would not consent to Mr. Bristol's confirmation. XO FORMAL CHARGES MADE Leupp Will Xot Investigate Edwards on Mere Talk. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Nov. 19 Indian Commissioner Leupp said today that he had not yet sent an inspector to Pendleton to investi gate the charges against Indian Agent O. C. Edwards at the Umatilla reserva tion, but will do so when charges are formally lodged with him and there is an inspecting official available. Senator Fulton has talked with the Commissioner about charges against Edwards, particu larly- the allegation made by fenaieion business men to the effect that Edwards virtually warned them that they must bank at the Commercial National Bank of Pendleton if they expect to receive favors in the matter of leases of Uma tilla lands. While many newspaper clippings have found their way to the Indian Office and reports of charges have come from other sources, there is as yet no formal charge against Edwards, either in the. Indian office or in the office of Secretary Hitch cock. Until there is something definite on which to proceed, no investigation will be ordered. FEDERAL COURT CONVENES Judge Wolverton Hears Argument in One Case, Sets Another fof Trial. For the first time in more than a month cases were heard yesterday in the Federal Court. Judge Wolverton heard arguments in an Indian allot ment case and set the hearing of a suit for breach of contract between the Ladd Metals Company and the American Mining Company for Novem ber 30. John H. Hall, ex-United States District Attorney, appeared for the mining- company, which is seeking to recover $7o00. The Indian allotment case results from an Indian named Winslow being too much married, and now his two widows are both trying to claim the lfio acres allotted him by Uncle Sam on the Grande Ronde Indian reservation. Winslow, it seems, allowed his love for his first wife, Sarah Winslow, to prow cold and married again. His tory is silent as to whether there was a divorce from the first Mrs. Winslow. At any rate Winslow brought his second wife back to his ISO acres, unmindful of the fact that the first Mrs. Winslow and a couple of children were still on the reserva tion. There was one child born to the' second wife. Then Winslow died and the second Mrs. Winslow, who lived on the Ko acres, in due course of Indian time, married one Petite. Under the allotment act the Govern ment issued to Winslow a trust patent to his 160 acres; then if he lived on the place for a certain allotted time he would receive a fee simple title, making the land his own. The first Mrs. Winslow is suing for her dower right, and she is being contested by the second widow. The question at bar is whether the first widow is en titled to her dower right before the fee. simple title is issued. Judge Mar tin Pipes appeared for the second Mrs. Winslow and Assistant United States District Attorney Cole for the Govern ment. CITY WATER RATES SCORED Injustice to Poor Consumers Point ed Out by H. D. Wagnon. PORTLAND. Nov. 19. Dr. C. H. Raffety, member of the Water Board Dear Sir: When you par your proposed plan to the Water Board you made a Btatement saying you were bound to a wicked charter by .an oath of office, all of which rounds well. But. my dear doctor, you have been a member of the Water Board and Commission ior jo years, ana xmt is tne nrst time you have ever complained of that wicked char ter. The charter does not say that you shal! make unjust and discriminating rates. so we have, some of your works to deal with, not words or the charter. How can you explain them to the misused consumer I have a copy of Ondinance No. 35.03 be fore mo and it says the rates were recom mended by the Water Board, so it is your work and not the charter that we are deal ing with. And the rates show that the policy of the Water Board in to fleece the renter out of every dollar possible, as the land speculator needs the 'money, and the Water Board will tee that he gets it. I submit to the water-consumers of Port land the unfair rates you have made for dwellings and call their attention to the way you discriminate against the poorest class of renters. Dear reader, you will ob serve that they divide them into two classes those who occupy one house and those who occupy less than one house. A family of ten persons in one house would pav $1.50 for kitchen, bath and water closet. Three -families of three persons, all in one house (nine persons would have to pay $4.50. or three times as much as ten persons in one family. This Is an outrage on our poor' who live in housekeeping rooms. "Dwellings, family of ten persons, or less, Including all occupants Ordinary use of water for drinking, or in cooking or wash ing. SO cents: each person exceeding ten, 10 cents: bath tub. 50 cents: each additional bath tub, 25 cents; water closet, 50 cents; each additional water closet, 25 cents; urinal. 25 cents; steam or hot water heater. 50 cents. "Dwelling occupied by more than one fam ily Each family of ten persons or lees, 50 cents; bath for use by all. each family 50 cents, water closet for use by all. each family, Z0 cents; urinal for use by all. each family. 23 cents; steam or hot-water heater, 50 cents to $2. (One person to pay for all water supplied through one service pipe, f 1 ivo the exact wordlnjc of this unfair rate-making of -the Water Board. On this you cannot hide behind the charter. The people of Portland will not look to the Water Board for a Just plan. It Is not plans that are In order from the Water Board, but resignations. From the wording of the two dwelling rates it is plain to see what Its object was. First, to deceive the Council which passed It, as you run in a lot of rates about sprink ling, , before you presented your "dwellings w-ith more than one family in them," worded in a way to deceive at first glance. But as you read them and study them their Intent comes to light. I do not know who wrote them, but whoever, he was & past master in the art. I will analyze your proposed plan later. This letter I will give to The Oregonian for publication with hopes for more Justice to the water-owners and consumers in the near future. H. D. WAGNON, President Free-Water Association.

Lonely-Pete-Route. There is but one answer to make to anything originating from the Knock er's CamD. If the "TERRIFIC RATES TELE PHONE COMPANY" spent its MONEY to improve its OWN SERVICE and pav Its hungry-looking hirelings enougn to be courteous to its patrons and study the art of attending to its OWN BUSI NESS, thev would at least be prepar ing to hold a few telephone subscrib ers when the "HOME" does cut in. ALL THE WORLD DESPISES THE KNOCKER, and such overtures origi nating from any source, with or with out cause, will find no sympathizers in this or any LAWABIDING. HOME LOV,ING community. If I size the people here up correct ly that 'almost unanimous popular vote Portland folks gave the Auto matic on election dav would indicate the DEAR PUBLIC can't see what the ' KL'EF-US" Terrific Rates Telephone Co. is worrying: about, because if th Automatic, is no good and the stock holders are no better, operation and residence will tell better than argu ment. The fact is, and I guess most people know it. the Terrific Rates. Useless. All-in, Overhead.

Anvwav. the "SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST" will be the One Telephone YOU "HITCH UP TO." regardlesn of their talk or mine. This does not interest the Pub lic: what people want is "Telephone Service" and courteous treatment the best for the least amount of monev. They are sick and tired of this "BELL COW" - Con. take-it-or-let-it-alone, rule-or-ruin service. This is a free country. Honest men have the right to live and sell their wares. I sell these securities and be-, lieve in them, and believe in the com pany and people back of them vrltb all my aoul so much so that I hereby agree with each purchaser I have sod a Portland bond to. if IS months after operation and general service Is given you are dissatisfied or disappointed with your investment.

Then he flew to the bam Thin woodpecker bold To sharpen his bill So I am told. But that's nothlnr. Xcw when he came tack To peck some others. He tackled a pole That wasn't his ruthers. .Still that's nothing:. He pecked and he pecked Till his- bill sot sore. Then back to the barn. For he pecked no more.

FAIR FIGHTING On of the award made by the trustees of the Carnegie hero fund was to Rufus K Coombs, of Midway. Ky. Coombs and Richard Godson, of th earn town, were political rivals. The contest be tween them developed personal enmity and the people of the town looked for a pistol duel at any time. Godson was a lawyer and Inventor. One dav last. Spring he descended into a vault to repair a gamak!ng machine. While there he was overcome; u luc iuhibs oi me gas. The vault had but one opening a small manhole at the top. Those who discovered Godson's condition hesitated to go down for fear of the foul gas. Coombs Ivard of Godson'a plight. The former was in poor health. Suffering from a spinal affction. his physician had warned him against making any violent exertion. Neverthe1es. Coombs ran rapidly to the spot. He pushed aside thoee who sought to restrain him by saying that Godson must be dead by this time, and descended. Three timea did the semi-invalid bring the body of the unconscious man his doadly enemy up the ladder. Twice, the people at the top let it fall. The third time tney secured Godson and also drew out Coombs, who fell fainting aoross the body of the man be had saved. The Carnegie trustee did well when they awarded Coombs a medal and SI.VH). Wiiy did Coombs save the life; of "his dearest enemy at such a fearful risk of els own ? This, was the reply to many such In quiries: "I ALWAYS LOVED A FAIR FIGHTER AND GODSON" ALWAYS FOUGHT FAIR" There's a lot of manliness in Coombs reason, and It reveals a leading trait in the Anglo-Saxon blood, which fig lit in g blood. The white man, wherever you find him. likes a fair flxhter. He wno fights open and above board Is respected even by his dearest foe. while he who strikes below the belt, should he go down, finds no willing hands to help him up. victory that Is. won by a foul is a cheap sort of victory. Indeed, it Is not victory at ail. "WILDE," Home Telephone Securities, Lafayette Bide., Portland, Or.
