14 THE MORNING OREGONIAN,' TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1907. AGENTS ARE ANGRY Bills for Delayed Steamers Go to County Court. AFTER JUDGE WEBSTER Madlsnn-Strrrt Bridge Praw Would N"ot Open Vntil Atte-r VnteA States Engineers Interfered. Shipping Interests Suffer. F. P. Baumgrartner, representing; the steamer Nome City, and Captain Jami son, master of the Bteamer Northland, will present bills to the County Court of Multnomah, for the detention of the steamers abovo and below the draw of the Madison-street bridge, between the hours of S o'clock Saturday morning and 10 o'clock Sunday morninn. Mr. HaumRiirtner says he will force the matter to an Issue to determine whether It be within the power of the County Judge to restrict navigation on the Willamette River. Since early Saturday mornlnsr there has been considerable friction between .ludife Webster and shipping: men, due to the fact that draw operators on the MadlHon-stroet bridge would not open that structure on signal, and the court ofnciiil would not give the word in structing the bridge employes to obey the Federal law. An appeal was neces sary to the United States Engineers. At an early hour Saturday morning Hie steamers Nome City and Thomas L. Wand, which iad been held for five lays at the mills of the Portland Lum ber Company, on account of high wa ter, were ready to move down stream. Word was sent to the steamship men to . the effect that the draw of the Madl-fon-strert bridge could not be operated. Investigation showed that the draw could be opened, but fears were enter tained by the bridge men that It could not bo closed if thrown open. At 10 o'clock Saturday morning the steamer Northland, on her way to the mills of tiie Portland Lumber Com pany, whistled for the Madison-street draw. The bridge failed to open, and the sieimer was compelled to retire to the Supple dock, and there remain un til 11 o'clock Sunday morning. Saturday morning Mr. Baumgartner. in behalf of the steamship men. ap pealed to County Judge Webster for an order directing the opening of the draw in the Madixon-street bridge. The county ofllcial was indllTerent to the request, ami slated that he had ordered an Inspection made. I.ater he stated that a soon as the water fell in the river the draw could be opened as the bridge would spring back into place. Large shipping interests were at stake, nnd an appeal was then made to the 1'nlted States Engineers, with the result that the draw was immediately cpencd. All that was required was a single jack. Bridges crossing the Willamette are under the control of the County Judge so long as they do not interfere with navigation. I'nited States Engineers have a supervising control over these structures. Several years ago an ap peal was made to Judge Webster 10 have the arc lights on the bridges screened for the benefit of pilots. The request was treated with contempt, and an appeal to the Federal authori ties was niade at that time, with the re sult that screens were ordered imme diately.

The three masted schooner Alpha, 140 tons bur den, went on the beach during a gale seven miles south of the mouth of the Sluslaw River one night last week and Is a total loss. The crew, consisting of seven men, was saved by the L'mpqua ilfesavlng crew and taken to Gardi ner. The Ilfesavlng crew braved tremend ous wave In making the rescue, and their boats were nearly swamped several times before they reached the shore with the wrecked seamen. Very few particulars of the wreck are ob tainable on account of the telephone wires from tne ooaot section being out of order, on acconrit of the recent storm. It Is not learned what the cargo" of the wrecked vessel consisted of. " Mall for Vessels Delayed. Postal authorities call attention to the fact thRt mail Intended for vessels stationed at various points In the Pa cific is often delayed by being ad dressed to San Francisco, where it is included with the San Francisco city mall. Such matter is transit mail, and should be handled in the mailing divi sion and should not be included in city mail. All such mall should be ad dressed to the person, with the name of the ship and "Pacific Station, via San Francisco." This will do away with delays in delivery, especially of papers.

It lias grown in favor and popularity un til the demand for It often requires ship ments in carload lots. It is now on sale at almost every drug store and most country cross-road stores in the United States. There is no question as to its merits; in fact, the enormous sale on it has been brought about to a large extent by the personal recommendations of people who have heen cured by it. When you use a remedy for a cough or cold and find it far superior to any other that you have ever tried, it is natural that you should tell your friends of your good fortune. It has become the mother's favorite for coughs, colds and croup, as they found that it can always be depended upon and that it contains no opium or other harmful drugs. Dur ing these years In which we have been making, selling and using this prepara tion wo have never known of a single oase of a cold resulting in pneumonia wb.en Chamberlain's Couith Remedy was used, which leads us to believe that (t Is a certain preventive of that disease. The fact that it can be depended upon in every case has crowned it with the success It enjoys. BANKERS SEE FLAWS Raise Objections to New Banking Measure. . WOULD WORK HARDSHIPS Owners of Small Private Banks Go on Record as Opposed to Pro posed Legislation Regulating Their Establishments. Owners of the smaller private banks of the state are raising objections to the banking- bill pending before the Legislature, contending it will cause undue restraint In the best use of the resources of these institutions. A num ber of owners of banks In the smaller cities were in Portland yesterday, and they expressed themselves on the sub ject. Leslie Butler, president of the Butler Banking Company, of Hood River, said: I have always believed In the general principle of a law to regulate state banks V1 :y:-:-:::::-: and to protect the public. I think that all state banks should make public state ments, and that the state authorities should have the rlRht to correct any abuses that they discover in the management of any bank. The present hill as amended, however, has certain change in it which I am afraid will work hardships upon the customers of Interior banks. The whole of Eastern Ore gon is a country In which the producers are only "in funds once a year. In the Hood River Valley our conditions are different. We have fruit, apples and strawberries and other products, and the crops of these irt very sure. In other parts of Eastern Ore son, however, wheat, wool and cattle must be depended upon, and In the event of a bad year the banks sometimes have to car ry their customers for a second or even a third year. If. however, a law Is passed that would tie up state hanks with narrow rules and rigid restrictions, It would seriously Injure every man In Eastern Oregon who grows wheat, or raises sheep or -cattle. There have been so many changes made in the bill, since it was first blocked out by the com mittee of the Oregon State Bankers' Asso ciation, of which I was a member, that I really believe that it will be impossible to get it imo such shape during the present session of the Legislature, that It could be made into law wlthou-t crippling a great many of the business men of Eastern Ore gon. I think, therefore, that It would be rai better to refer the bill back to the Oregon State Bankers' Association, or to a com mittee to be appointed by the Legislature, composed partly of bankers and partly of business men, so that during the next two years a careful Investigation could be made and all parts of the state eonsldered, and a well-drawn bill prepared for the next meet ing of the legislature. If such a bill should be gotten up and carefully thought out, I believe It would commend itself hoth to bankers and business men, and will be a very good thing for the state at large. In making the above suggestions. I have no personal end In view, for the reason that the Butler Banking Company is In the habit of publishing Its statements at fre quent intervals, and keeping the public ported about its business, but I do feel very much Interested In the welfare of the people of Eastern Oregon, and would not like to see them deprived of such useful friends as they now have In the many state banks throughout that part of the state. R. R. Hoge. formerly president of the Chamber of Commerce, said: Broadly speaking. I am In favor of pro tecting the depositors of banks throughout the state by a state banking bill, although It Is to be remarked that our sister States of Washington Is without .such a law. and the law of California is such as to leave the banks practically -unrestricted in the con duct of their business. There Is. however, another side to this subject. For the last several years the commercial bodies of the state have bent their energies towards the development of our resources requiring the application of all the banking assets of the state. And to unnecessarily and unduly restrict our bank ing institutions will be to work a hardship upon all classes from the producer to the distributor. Great care should be taken. In my opinion, to thoroughly thrash out all questions appertaining before the text of the bill Is decided upon, and then ample time should be allowed both the people and the banks to adjust themselves to the new condition. Unless this is done much of the good that has been wrought by the developing- spirit of the community would be lost. While I am not fully familiar with the text of the Haines bill, certain features of It have been brought to my attention which suggest the views expressed, and that It would be unwise, everything considered, at this time to enact this bill Into a law. I think the matter can well be permitted In tha Interests of all concerned, to rest until the next meeting of the State Legislature two years hence, leaving It to the Bankers' Association meanwhile to take up the sub ject, point by point, so as to have a bill tbat will serve the Interests of all to tha beat advantage. Say Measure Is Harmful. ASTORIA, Or., Fob. 11. SpcUl.) Frank Patton. cashier of the Astoria Savings Bank, expressed his opinion of the proposed banking bill, today, as fol lows: "I believe the bill as at present draft ed is so hurtful to the business inter ests of this part of the State of Oregon that It should be laid over for further consideration and remodeling for at leant two years. Publicity in the form of frequent printed statements for banks is allrlght; but this bill ties up the "banks hand and foot, so they can not serve their customers. "The bill gives too much power to the examiner. It provides arbitrary per centages of cash and exchange to be left as a reserve, and thus compels the bank to call In loans or to disappoint its customers by declining to make them. It also limits the amount a bank can loan to any one customer. Here we have salmon packers and lumber pro ducers who, at certain seasons of the year, require large advances, and this business is safe, profitable, and abso lutely necessary to Insure "the growth of Astoria and its surrounding country. "Let us take time to consider mat ters and draft a law for the next Legis lature that will be safe for the depos itors without being destructive to the banks." ASKS CITY TO .PURCHASE MT. TABOR CTjCB FAVORS WATER-PLANT DEAL. Association Passes Recommendation That Board Proceed to Acquire Arthur System at Fair Price. The Mount Tabor Improvement Asso ciation last night took action on the water-supply question for that section of the city. J. M. Arthur, owner of the Mount Tabor water plant, submitted a plan for the Indorsement of the club. In the form of a request for the Water Committee to purchase the plant at a "fair and reasonable figure." After discussion the following substitute for Mr. Arthur's proposition was adopted: Whereas. The Mount Tabor water plant for a long time has made it possible for us to build homes and prepare this terri tory for city purposes, a thing which would have been Impossible without this system; and. Whereas, This territory is now a part and parcel of the City of Portland and en titled to men improvements possible, and a water system that will meet the require ments and give better water supply, and thereby secure fire protection; and. Whereas. With a limited sum the said system can be made to meet such require ments; Therefore we respectfully petition your honorable body to purchase tha said plant, contracts, franchises, etc., of the Mount Tabor Water Company, paying therefor a fair, liberal price. And if the same cannot be had for a reasonable price that proper steps be taken to condemn the same and take It over to the city for the public use and benefit. We have reasons to believe that if the said plant Is secured at a reasonable price, that It will be a good business investment for the City of Portland. And. realizing that parts of the city have no pipe lines at all. the earnings from this system will aid in developing such ter ritory, and we In turn will only expect at your hands such Improvements and better, ments to this system as are Justified by the per capita and the earnings of the ter ritory served, until some other equitable arrangements can be arrived at. It was announced at the meeting that Mr. Arthur values his plant at $80,000, and thinks he should receive 175,000 for it. He estimates the value of the plant on a 6-per-cent basis. The city is now selling water to the plant at meter rates, but the Arthur plant Is still charging the old water rates, which are higher than those paid by city con sumers. This Is considered unjust, and G. L. Lindsley, "W. A. Laidlaw and G. W. Edmunds were appointed a committee to request the Water Board to require Mr. Arthur to charge the same rates as are charged other consumers. In con nection with the, water question, J. Frank Perkins made a report on what had been done toward amendments to the charter as to the general water supply and also on the park question. On motion a committee was appoint ed to wait on Postmaster Mlnto to see If better mail service cannot be given Mount Tabor, another carrier being needed. It was reported that the serv ice Is inadequate, and that there had been days when no malls were deliv ered at all. This Burglar Is Real "Unlady-like" Although Drenned In "Woman Gnr menlft. He JnmiHi Downntfllra Four Step at a Time. " "HE police artf greatly perturbed over I the appearance in Portland of real, live burglar, who is said to wear skirts and other garments usually found in the make-up of the gentler eex, such as a "large black hat; black fur boa and a long overcoat." This pretender "fell down," however, when it came to run ning. According to an official account of hi first attempt to enter a house at 430 Stark street Sunday night he was dis covered by a small boy, "at which the burglar proceeded to make a hurried de parture, going down the steps in a very unlady-like manner four steps at a time." So great was the anxiety of the police over the "unlady-like" would-be burglar and his first effort at "burgling.'' that the following official statement of the case was issued to all members of the de partment by order of Captain of De tectives Bruin late yesterday afternoon: It In reported to this station that a man in woman's clothing attempted to gain en trance to 430 Stark street. At the time that the attempt was made there were but two women In the houue. As the man- was at tempting to turn the lock In the door, a boy about 12 years old, who resides there, re turning home from the theater and not no ticing the burglar, started up the stairs, at which the burglar proceeded to make a hur ried departure, going down the stairs In a very unladylike manner, four steps at a time. He then ran around the corner of the house and across a vacant lot to a hole in the fence on Eleventh street, between Stark and Wash ington, and his speed was such that h? left a portion of his skirt hanging to a limb near the fence. He Is described as follows: About 5 feet and 10 inches, about 10 pounds, and wore a woman's large black hat, black veil, black fur boa. black overcoat that hung to his knees and a black skirt. He ran like a man and had large, heavy sfroes on. Police Discredit Robbery. Mrs. A. Henderson, the woman who complained to the police Sunday that she had been robbed of her diamonds, re fused to sign a complaint against the man whom she says robbed her. Her story is discredited by the police, and It Is believed she only told the story to prevent an attachment being placed on the Jewels. Constable Lou Wagner visit ed, a resort In the North End Sunday night to serve an attachment on the jewels. When be reached the place the woman declared she had been robbed. Wagner brought her to police headquar- j Aamm nVi.nln fanlalw ! Bailey told the woman to leave Uia sta- j tiorj, but she refused and Captain Bailey ordered her locked up. She was kept In J jail all night and released yesterday I morning. 1 CO BUCK TO SCHOOL Heavy Enrollment for the New Spring Term. 16,000 SEEK KNOWLEDGE Largest First-Day Attendance on Kecord and Increase of More Than 2000 Over First Day of School. When the Spring term of the Portland public schools opened yesterday there was a registration of fully 16.000. which is by far the largest flrst-day attendance"iri this history of the city. It is an increase of more than 2000 over the enrollment of September 17. 1906. when tl'j school year opened. There was an attendance of 47S at the East Side HiKh School, which was thrown open to pupils for the first time. Prin cipal Herdman said this number will probably be increased to 500 today, and it will go still higher before the end of the week. The new building has been badly needed for some time and during the past term it lias been necessary to assign many high school classes to rooms in the various grammar schools. There was a registration of 887 in the West Side High School, making a total enrollment of 1365 in the two institutions. At. the opening of the February term last year there was a high school registration of 1181. and at the beginning of the term just closed there were 1160 high school pupils in attendance. Returns from all of the schools In the city were not received at the office of Assistant Superintendent Grout yester day, owing to the crippled telephone ser vice. In nearly all instances reported, however, gains were shown and it is safe to say that the total attendance is some what over the 1B.000 mark. The attend ance at the opening of the present school year and yesterday's attendance, so far as reported. Is shown by the following list: Feb. Spt.i Feb. Sept. 11. 17. ..714 6:IS .. ..

Mrs. Jorie Robbing, of 1121 Clar Street, Decatur, Ills., Is enthusiastic over the merits of Dr. Williams' Pink PIJIb for Pale People. "In 1900, be cause of overwork," states Mrs. Rob bins, "I was threatened with nervoua prostration, complicated with heart trouble. I consulted my family phys ician who said it was heart trouble and he gave me three or four different kinds of medicine but I felt no benefit from them. I wag very weak, pale, thin and troubled with headaches. My appetite failed so that I did not rel ish my food. I was unable to do my work because my limbs pained me eo and my feet were swollen. I got bumb and dizzy, my tongue seemed at times to be paralyzed so that I couldn't speak distinctly. My extrem ities, when in this numb state, felt as If some one was sticking needles into me all over their surface. Through my shoulders at times I had such pain that I couldn't sleep. Many times I awoke with a sensation of smother ing. "When the physician's remedies failed to benefit me I began to look for something that, would. My sister, Mrs. McDaniel, of Decatur, recom mended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to me and I at once purchased some. I wag greatly encouraged when I saw how tbey acted on my nervous condi tion and continued using them until cured. I am now able to attend to my duties and have not consulted a phys ician since.
