TEE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDif, FEBRUARY 16, 1907. VICTOR! FOR PORT OF COLUMBIA BILL House Passes, the Measure Against Strenuous Opposi tion From Lower River. CLATSOP MAN LEADS FIGHT (rfcl'iic Kspon.M-R C'nusp of AMorln and RIMrrly .sails (). R. & X. Co. In Ms Kcflet'lions on Portland's Motives. SAT..EM. Or.. Vcb. 15. (SiiwHal.) Arain-U strenuous opposition from the Clatsop and Columbia county Representative?.- the House todHy passed Repre sentative DriseoU's bill, creatine the Tort of Columbia, for control of pilotage and towage at the mouth of the Columbia river, by a vote of 34 to 24. The speakers for the hill were Coffey. Freeman end Itris.oll. of Multnomah, and Campbell, of t'lackamaF. and the other side was up held by McCue. of Clatsop. Medio and Brlx, of Clatsop, and Cou ncil, of Columbia, put in a minority re port against tlie majority report of the Multnomah delegation. McCue's motion to substitute the majority report with the minority, was defeated by a vote of 8 to 24. The majority report was then adopted and the bill was passed by the following vote: Vote on passage of Port of Columbia bill in House: Aes Adams. Bover, Belknap. Kever ifle. Brown. BentRen. Burns.

Mcdie contended that the bill will tax Clatsop County for payment and interest of the J400.0C") debt authorized without its consent and would put the bar pilot age In the hands of Portland Interests, whereas they should be controlled by the entire state as now. He wished to see Portland the biggest city on the Pacific Coast, but that it was unjust to blame the pilots for present conditions when physical disadvantages were the cause of the 30 cents a ton Brain differential In favor of PuROt Sound. God Almighty dictated, he said, that Portland could not compete with other ports because It is too fitr inland. Drlscoll here pointed out that the Co lumbia Bar, wheYe the trouble exists, lies between Astoria and the sea, just as between Portland and the Bea. McCue replied that Portland is trying to compel Astoria to make up for the commercial deficiencies of Portland. He contended that the tax for the proposed port district would bear Just as heavily on Clatsop taxpayers an Multnomah. The State Pilot Commission, he declared, has been controllin-f pilotage to the best of their ability. If further control should be exercised the state should compel the existing Commission to do It. Coffey made a point of the fact that the law now requires two of the three Pilot Commissioners to live in Astoria, thus giving control to that city. McCue re sponded that two of the Commissioners have been living in Astoria two years. Continuing McCue declared: Fiercely Assails tlie O. K. X." "Portland wants to dominate the com merce of the Columbia River. 'he cor poration that bns built up Portland (the O. R. X. Company) has been controlling the bar 30 years. The State Pilot Com mission Is the body to regulate the bar pilotage. All we ask is justice between man and man and between the sections of the state. How pitiful it is that Mr. Mills and Mr. Millar, both representing the O. R. A- X.. who asked us in -committee the other night. to pass this. bill and take the bar towage oft their hands, confess the towage is poor and that they wish to get rid of It." This bill ts a sub terfutfe to 'put the pilotage in the hands of a few men in .Multnomah." Coffey made an able argument for the bill, pointing out that of the J400.000 debt authorized for buying bar tugs and a pilot boat. $372,000 will be paid by Mult nomah and $14,000 each by Clatsop and Columbia. Portland, he said, would be willing to assume all the debt and not Include Clatsop and Columbia in the dis trict, but the Commission must have jurisdiction In those two counties, and could not have unless they were. In the district. Why Portland Demands Law. The business, commercial and financial interests of Portland, he said, demanded the bill. Poor towage and pilotage he declared the causes of the differential against the Columbia River charged by foreign shipowners. The O. R. & N., he said, has agreed to pay for the bar pilot age if tlie bill shall become a law. Campbell argued along similar lines. Representative Connell of Columbia County voted for the bill, because, he aid. many people in this county wanted t passed. He remarked that, personally, le sided with McCue. a lawyer, and hence I do not care to take them up one by one. My. own belief is that we have gotten along so far with out any law in regard to banks, that the time has pretty nearly come for us to have a safe and moderate law put into force, but in view of the very radical provisions of the proposed law. 1 think It would be much better to defer action until the next session of the Legisla ture, rather than to make the mistake of passing a law now which would do harm instead of good. "I believe that the matter ought to be taken up by S committee of business men ar.ri bankers, carefully selected from dif ferent parts of the state, so that the salmon canners of Western Oregon, the wool and cattle men of Eastern Oregon, the fruit men of the Valley, and the ex porters of Portland should all be repre sented, and a good, careful and moderate law prepared for the next session of the Legislature." PASSES FKEK LOCKS BILL. .lours .Measure Kneounters but Thir teen Enemies in lowcr House. SALEM. Or., Feb. 13. (Special.) With 13 dissenting votes the House tonight passed the substitute bill for House bill No. T. by Jones of Polk and Lincoln, appropriating a contingent fund of J3IK). (.) by the state for construction and maintenance by the government of free locks at Oregon City. The bill had been considered by the House in committee of the whole and favorably reported back to the House, so that when the measure came up tonight there was no debate. Barrett of Washington objected to so large an appropriation from the state, and Campbell said he opposed the bill for the reason that the state has power to regulate and control tolls that are charged by the company now operating the locks, and for that reason the remedy for existing conditions rests with the state itself without such a large ap propriation Those votinp against tlie passage of the bill were Barrett of Washington, Beveridge.

I LAW WOI LD MAKE BANKRIPTS Huntington Banker Strongly Con demns Bill Pending at Salem. Hl'XTINGTON". Or., Feb. 15. (Special.) Speaking of the proposed state banking aw. J. H. Ailkln. of the Oregon Commer ial Company, said to The Oregonian cor respondent today: "I have looked over the law, and fool much Interested In many of the provisions of it. I believe that several of the clauses would have a very bad effect upon business in Eastern Oregon. In this part of the world we cut a good bit of lum ber, and there is a great deal of money locked up n sheep and wool. . These latter products cannot be moved in a hurry. A settlement once a year is about !! that any business man can make, and If there conies a bad seanon. It often iy him to hold over his sheep to the second or third year. The banks in this part of the world have for many years past found that this business was safe nd profitable, and many a man who is comfortably off today has been aided by his banker to get upon his feet, and make money by having a good. big credit granted to him. "I'nder the proposed law the banks would be so restricted in loans of this kind that the sheep and wool men, and even the cattle men, would be literally put upon their uppers, and many a man might be forced to the wall In a bad season, who would otherwise come out all right. "There are several other provisions in ha law that I do not like, bit I am not BrJx Bill Has Warm Friends and Bitter Enemies Among Lumber men Claims Conflicting. SALEM. Or.. Feb. 15. (Special.) Fight ing over a bill to give franchises for the use of streams for logging, two groups of men are in the capital, one faction urging passage of the House bill of Brix, Xo. 2!1, for the benefit, they say. of the timber industry; the other opposing the bill for the alleged reason that it would give a monopoly to the streams and injure riparian ownership. This bill is framed on somewhat' different lines than the notor ious logging bill of four years ago. The Brix bill aims, so its advocates say, to keep any one corporation from monopo lizing a stream by enabling all riparian owners the free use of the water high way, and should they use the Hash dams of the corporation holding the franchise to pay reasonable tolls. Opponents of the bill contend that the use of the streams for such purposes will damage riparian owners by flooding their lands and otherwise injuring their prop erty. Among them is C. M. Cartwright. one of the principal owners of the Sea side House property, through which flows the Xecanicum River, a logging stream in Clatsop County, and a famous Summer resort river. Another objector is Trull inger, owner of a millsite on the Yamhill River. Still others are James McCain, of McMinnVille: S. B. Huston, of Hills boro, and Sanderson Reed, of Portland, as attorney for affected Interests. Fighting for the bill are W. A. Howe and Walter S. Asher. of Carleton: R. L. Conner, of McMinnville; S. B. Linthlcum and Zera Snow, of Portland: Clyde Ful ton, of Astoria, and Frank T. Griffith, of Oregon City. , . The bill gives the power of eminent domain to the corporation holding the franchise for condemnation of needed riparian land and authority to build flash dams. H gives owners tributary to the stream the right to use the stream with out tolls. In the operation of flash dams, the waters are to rise no higher than ordinary freshets, and irrigation uses are to be superior to those of logging. BITTER PILL FOR OSTEOPATHS Senate Kills Their Bill and Passes Distasteful Substitute. SALEM. Or., Feb. 13. (Special.) The osteopaths got what they didn't want at the hands of the Senate tonight when that body passed a substitute bill in the place of the one introduced by Senator Nottingham at the request of the osteo paths. Nottingham struggled frantically to stem the tide running against him, but it was too much for him and the bill passed with only three dissenting votes. , The bill introduced by Nottingham pro vided for a separate board of examiners for osteopaths. The bill went to the com mittee on medicine and pharmacy and several days ago that committee reported a substitute providing for one osteopath on the State Board of Medical Examiners and requiring osteopaths to, take ex aminations before that board, though they are not required to pass on materia medica or surgery. Nottingham said he would rather no bill be passed than this, which would place the osteopaths at the mercy of the physi cians of the older schools. He moved that the bill be referred back to the com mittee on revision of laws, which was done, and today that committee reported the substitute bill- favorably, much to Nottingham's chagrin. Tonight he tried to have the bill laid over until next week, when It would be too late for it to get through the 1-egis- ' Quality will loom up."

AID TO "STRAIGHT" VOTING ' Houe Passes Bill Changing- Form or Offieial Ballot. SALEM. Or.. Feb. 15.-(SpeclaI.)-Rep-resentative Jackson's bill. House bill 13, proposing a change in the form of the of ficial ballot so that the elector, by a single mark, may vote for all of his party's candidates a "straight" party ticket passed the House tonight with but little opposition. Jackson, Davey, Barrett of Washington and -Brown spoke for the bill, which first was opposed by Dye and Campbell, who contended that there was no demand from the people for the pro posed change in the form of ballot, which they did not think was in the interest of good government. Ten members of the House voted against the -bill, as follows: Campbell, Dobbin, Dye. Farrell, Huntley, Jones of Clackamas. Jones of Lincoln and Polk, Rackleff, Rothchild and Moore. Will Eliminate One Salary. SALEM. Or.. Feb. 15. (Special.) The Senate todav ordered hack to the com mittee Real's bill (H. B. 293). creating the offices of cream and dairy inspector and cheese and dairy inspector, each appoint ed by the State Food and Dairy Com mission at $1500 per annum, with in structions to consolidate the two offices under one salary. PERISHES IX THE DEEP SNOW Perry Watson, Idaho Mailcarrler, Found Dead Xear Rcadons. BOISE. Idaho. Feb. 15. (Special.) Perry Watson lost his life in a snow slide, January 31, on the Roosevelt road, between Readons and O'Brien's. His body was found eight days later and buried in the snow to await instructions from relatives, some of whom are at Grangevllle and some In Oregon. Watsoii was carrying mail. On the 31st he left Readons to break a trail, intending to return and make his start over the route a day or so later. As he did not return. Pat Lennan went out the next day to lind him. Failing, he returned late In the day and when crossing a draw where a small slide had gone down, he saw Watson's dog in the snow 30 feet'below the road. The dog had dug down to Watson's horse and was guarding the dead animal. Watson's body was dug out. Another man is missing on Big Creek, below Roosevelt, and it is feared he has lost his lite. His name is George Yardley. He went down to Big Creek to loofc after some horses. His dog returned to Roosevelt and that has created the impression the man has met with an accident. JEALOUS HUSBAND'S BLUNDER Beats Another's Wife Nearly to Death and Attempts Suicide. PAIX5USE. Wash.. Feb. 15. (Special. ) James Bunch, who it is believed stumbled Into the wrong house, tonight beat Mrs. Levi W7iley so badly with his crutch that for a while fears were entertained that she would' not recover. He then cut his own throat. It Is thought he will recover. Before cutting his throat Bunch set Are to the Wiley house, but spread of the flames was prevented by the prompt ar rival of the fire department. About a year ago Bunch fell from an O. R. & N. train near Endicott, Wash., and broke both legs. The railroad com pany settled for jLtmrt. About the first of the year Mrs. Bunch, who Bunch claims had spent, much of his money. left him. She went to the house of relatives in the eastern part of Palouse, only a few doors from the Wiley residence. Mrs. Wiley, whose husband is a barber, was giving attention to her sick daughter when Bunch made his appearance. Mr. Wiley had not yet returned from" his place of business. Mrs. Wiley seized her child, but Bunch intercepted her and beat her over the head. Bunch is in the hospital. Money for Steunenberg Case. BOISE. Feb. 15.

Jlousc Soothes His Anger by Passing Vole of Confidence. SALBM. Or., Feb. 15. (Special.) Call ing newspaper reporters "lynx-eyed" and "vultures" tor having exposed tlie land crab in an aniendment offered by him to a land bill yesterday. Representative Freeman tonight in the House introduced a resolution to eject from that chamber the representative of the Evening Tele gram, who in tonight's paper set forth fully the affair of yesterday; as was re ported in this morning's Oreftonian. Speaker Davey was about to send the resolution to tlie committee on resolu tions, according to the rules of the House, but Freeman in the heat of anger moved suspension of the rules. Cooler counsel of Rodgers of Marlon and Campbell of Clackamae prevailed, however, and Free man finally consented to let the resolution go to the committee. The sentiment of the House is widespread that Freeman allowed his wrath to get the better of his judgment. Earlier in the day Freeman's anger was kindled by the article in The Oregonlan. and to console his feelings Vawter of fered a resolution of confidence In his good motives and the House adopted it. The House yesterday, in committee of the whole, was considering a bill of Con nell's. from the State Iand Department, for the management of state lands'. In the bill was provision allowing the State Land Board discretionary power in case of presentation of land certificates, procured by fraud, to refund the money- advanced to the state, if the certificate should be in the hands of innocent hold ers. Big Interests at AVorU. Dissatisfied with this arrangement, big nteresto holding a lot of fraudulent cer tificates which they desired to make valid desired to change the clause so that the state should be compelled to Issue deeds. State- IjiikI Agent AVest says that such certificates, representing some 100,000 acres of state land, worth JouO.OOO. are in exist ence, issued on forged applications, most of them by H. H. Turner. Holders of a large amount of paper are the De Lait tres, whose attorney is H. B. Watson, of Portland. Representing these landgrabbere. Wat son has been frequenting the Capitol, en deavoring to get passed a favorable bill. His bill was Introduced by Freeman as No. 361, after Vawter had refused to touch it. The bill provided that tlie state must issue deeds to holders of euch certificates. The bill is sleeping in the committee on revision of laws. vVTien the Connell bill was under con sideration yesterday Freeman moved an amendment carrying the -purpose of bill 'o. 361. The amendment said that the State Land Board "shall" issue deeds, but as explained by him at his desk the amendment said "may." After reading "may" he changed it to "shall," and thus sent it up to the reading clerk. Chief Clerk Thompson, believing "shall" a mis take, erased it. but on order of Freeman restored "ehall." The amendment was adopted by the House, evdently under the Impression that "may" was meant, and In that form the bill was passed. West Makes Discovery. Land Agent West, beinr interested in the bill, followed it to the engrossing committee, where he was) surprised to find "shall." Hurrying back to the House, he informed Campbelrxof the circumstance, who moved reconsideration1 of the bill, and after a sharp debate with Fuceman carried the point. The amendment was stricken out: tht-n the bill was paused. At tonight's session Freeman angrily read from the article in the Evening Telegram, then declared that he would not be made the victim of any "lynx eyed reporter." Further along In his remarks he called the newspaper re porters "vultures." Their reports, he said, were outrageous. He declared the Evening Telegram man knew that he Intended the word to be "may." and that the writer was putting into the paper a deliberate falsehood. He as serted that he would not permit his reputation to be blackened by any such report. Hero Davey interjected the remark that a few days ago the reporters had had a "little amusement" at his own expense, meaning the articles in a hos tile Portland paper as to his stand on the railroad bill. At this Freeman offered a resolution to exclude the Telegram correspondent. Rodgers objected, saying that mem bers should not take too seriously what was said of them in the news papers. He remarked, furthermore, that Freeman, not long before, had ascribed to him ulterior' motives in voting against Freeman's bill on per petual franchises. Campbell put in soothing words and persuaded Freeman to let the resolu tion go to the committee. Vawter then spoke appreciatively and consol ingly of Freeman, expressing full con fidence in his good purposes. "Does the gentleman consent to the resolution going to the committee?" asked Davey. "Yes," said Freeman. "ft is so referred, said Davey. "The clerk will read the next bill." Burn Slashings Without Permit. SALEM, Or., Feb. 15. (Special.) Among the bills passed by the House tonight was that of Representative Jones of Clackamas, which amends the forest fire laws so as exempt farmers from being required to procure permits from County Clerks before burning slashings. Under the provisions of the bill farmers are allowed to burn slashings any time between June 1 and October 1, provided they serve notice of such intention on the deputy forest ranger of their county and at the same time inform their neighbors. B. K. Jones Xot a Candidate. SALKM. Or., Feb. 15. (Special.) Repre sentative B. F. Jones, of Polk, mentioned as a candidate for Railroad Commissioner, says he has no desire to be appointed to the commission. "If I ever should wish a place on the commission, I would seek it from the people and not from any appointing board.' said he tonight. AT TirK HOTELS. The Portland. O. J. Massot, St. Loui: Chandler.
