NO CAUSE FOR ALARM Municipality's Icgal Adviser Issues Statement in Relation to Matter. Says Portland Council Has the Whip . Hand. There is no cause for alarm over the rights of Portland in the Bull Run River Reserve, as the city holds prior claims and is fully protected in every manner, according to City Attorney Kavanuugh. It Was thought for a time by Mayor Lane and the members of the Water Board that there was danger of a portion of the Htream being diverted and used for prl ' vate purposes by the Mount Hood Rail way Company. In an official statement, issued last night. City Attorney Kavauaugh says: I have never seriously regarded any at tfmpt to secure water rights adverse to the t-tty on Bull Kun River. The flow in that river above Its confluence with the Little .Sandy is supplied by feeders above the t lty"a headworks, the point of the city's Inlakc. The tilings that have been made are below this point of diversion. I am of the opinion that under its early grants the city acMulred the right to the use of all the water at or above the present point of diversion. These rights were acquired prior to the enactment of any laws in this state, for the appropriation of water, and gives Hie city a distinct priority. 1 am advised that the approprlators, all of whom have made filings below the headworks. concede The superior right of the city to the use of all the water, and disclaim any right or In tentions to use any water, except the sur plus which the city does not now, or may nut hereafter utilize. City Concedes Nothing. By any of Its recent tllimrs the city does not concede any adverse rights to any of the water In Bull Run. Approprlators may mwke filings and contend among themselves concerning the use of the overflow, If there be an overflow, hut they will be promptly restrained If they attempt to Impair the present or future supply of the city. It should be understood that the city is not engaged In a race of diligence with ad verse HPPropriators to secure new rights. to the waters of Bull Run, as those rights are already acquired and vested, terday, Mayor Lane and the members of As was published in The Oregonian yes the Water Board felt considerable alarm uvrr the situation, and as a result, two secret meetings of the board were, held, one being last Monday morning. The par- 1 tlrular occasion for their anxiety was the fact that some filings, made in haste by ' Superintendent Dodge, on behalf of the ' Vater Board, proved defective, and it was feared that the city might have lost sonie of its rights thereby. -towcver. City Attorney Kavanangh declares that the situation is entirely safe: that the city's rights are fully protected, and that there is no occasion for alarm. Investigation discloses that the odds are all against the Mount Hood Railway Company, and the way things stand at this time practically precludes any action by the railroad people that would be det rimental to the municipality. The Mount Hood Railway Company has no franchise as yet for lis proposed lines in this city. and should Its officials contest with tho city relative to its water rights, it is re garded as certain that the Council would never consider granting it any franchise. . City Has Whip Hand. This alone is regarded as sufficient to flint off any action antagonistic to the city, but it is said that there are other assurances at hand that, inako it certain I hat the water rights of Portland aro per fectly clear. At least, this is the view taken by City Attorney Kavanangh, to whom the city Is compelled -to look for legal advice. He has recently given the matter much careful thought. The city may go Into court at Oregon City the latter part of this month to con test with the Mount Hood Railway Com pany officials as to some filings on Bull Run River, below the intake. The case is set for hearing. The city will also ask Federal protection for the entire reserve, and a hill will be drafted and sent to Congress In duo time. The Little Sandy River will also be taken over by the municipality. It is planned. Several weeks ago the filings of the Mount Hood Railway Company ran out, and upon discovering this, Mayor Lane and the members of the Water Board thought beat to file on the rights for the city. To this end. papers were drawn up hurriedly In the office of City Attorney Kavanangh and were filed at Oregon City. Notices were posted by Superin tendent Dodge along the river, but It was later found the papers were faulty. An other filing was made, but the Water Board failed to Include the required plats, and the work was again worthless. City Attorney Kavanangh places little, if any. reliance on the filings, even had they been absolutely legal. He holds that the city's rights are well protected with out them.

"Some Lessons the West Has Learned From the Recent Panic," was the sub ject discussed at the . monthly dinner of the Portland Association of Credit Men at the Commercial Club last night by R. T. Piatt. His remarks were interesting to the large number of credit men in at tendance and were carefully listened to. He did not blame the President or the currency for the stringency, but - said the National bank system needs con siderable overhauling. . "The recent disturbance should not be dignified by the name 'panic " said Mr. Piatt, "for it was not worthy of that title. The chief causes, I believe, were the diversion of money that should have gone into legitimate industry to specu lative purposes. The remedy is to pro hibit reserve banks from paying interest on the deposits of other banks. The object is to keep Portland money in Port land to care for Portland business, and the same in all other places. There should be a central bank established with branches at Chicago and San Francisco, to care for the exchange of the country." J." A. Keating, vice-president of the Bankers & Lumbermen's Bank, spoke briefly and explained why country banks send their reserves to city banks, the principal reason being the additional safety for the funds. In this way the city reserves are built up. B. R. Rutherford, president of the as sociation, acted as toastmaster at the dinner and the affair was a very pleas ant one. Those In attendance expressed their satisfaction at having been present and listened to the instructive talka givysn. GB.iXD XEST MEETS IX THIS CITY.

MS UP BUSINESS State Horticultural Society Completes Programme. ATWELL PRESIDENT AGAIN Summer Meeting Will Be Held at" The Dalles Number of Interest ing Resolutions Adopted Ex hibition of Sprayers Today. - t . The Oregon State Horticultural Society concluded its annual meeting yesterday afternoon after a day devoted to the transaction of important business, read ing of several valuable papers on techni cal subjects; and the election of officers. According to programme, the session does not conclude until today, yet all the regular business has been ended, the pro gramme carried out, and all that remains is a demonstration of various makes of spraying apparatus. A number of dele gates are remaining for thus exhibition, which will be given at 9:30 A. M. today. Many of the delegates were leaving last night for their - homes, following what was regarded as one of the most success ful meetings ever held by the society. . The final day was a busy one through-' out; Five resolutions, all of Importance to fruitgrowers, were considered and adopted. The first of these provides that the society get to work with the end in view of securing a permanent , horticul- tural building at the State Fair. A legis lative committee will be named to take this matter up and carry the idea through. A second resolution creates a' commit tee, to be named by the president, to con fer with the State Board of Agriculture at Salem for the purposo- of revising the premium list on horticulture. The United States Department of Agri culture, in compliance with a third reso lution, will be asked to undertake the scientific investigation of the application of water in Rogue River and Hood River Valleys. There is now a- great deal of uncertainty among the horticulturists of these districts as to how much water. If any, should be applied to produce the toest results. The time for Irrigation is also a matter of some question. The Oregon delegation at Washington, D. C, will be asked to use Its best efforts in securing the necessary appropriation for these experiments. The need of concise, complete and defi nite water laws was likewise the subject of a resolution, presented by E. H. Lewis, State' Engineer. Mr. Lewis set out in his resolution that the state has not yet assumed definite control of its great water resources; that the pioneer irriga tors are unnecessarily burdened by hav ing to defend their water rights in court against each new appropriation, and that the development of the state is greatly re tarded by the lack of some method of definitely acquiring title to unused water in advance of the construction of hydrau lic works.

BRINGS SUIT FOR DIVORCE Plaintiff Asks Court to Award Her $9000 or His $10,0T)0 In Bank and an Interest in His Other Property. Because her husband, a Portland con tractor, in a fit of anger, grabbed the hot potatoes from the dinner table and threw them at her one by one, when she had invited a friend to supper, Hattie Kubik has brought suit for a divorce in the Circuit Court against Frank Kubik, whom she married In Buffalo County, Ne braska. June 8, 1891. She alleges that this outburst of passion occurred in the Spring of 1906. and that In the Fall of the same year her husband struck her and tried to choke her, tearing her clothing and in flicting painful bruises on her throat and arms, 'besides using abusive and profane language. In the Summer of 1907, it is asserted, he again became abusive, and knocked her off a. chair. She further says that about two weeks ago he began to rant about the house, breaking the dishes and throwing on the floor some fancy woi'k which she had placed on the table. Mrs. Kubik says she has borne the abuse of her husband since May, 1905, when he siapped her face in public. She declares that the cuffs and slaps of Kubik have become so frequent as to be intoler able.

Deaf and Dumb Man Answers Phone A DEAF and dumb man sat In a doc tor's offlca about an hour before the "hours," and patiently gazed at the different objects on tables and walls In an effort to keep himself entertained until the physician appeared. Attached to the wall was one of the old-style telephone boxes with an exposed double alarm bell Uwith a clapper that struck the two bells. when the current was released, with a loud clatter. The deaf and dumb man had his gaze fixed on the machine when the clapper began to vibrate at a great rate, stopped an instant and repeated the operation. He heard nothing, but was aware that some one was evidently anx ious to get into communication with the doctor. Again and again the clapper pounded out the alarm, but the eye-witness heard nothing, though he was great ly concerned about a probable call for assistance from a possible sufferer. Now, It. happens that the deaf and dumb man referred to can ejaculate one word, and that Is "honk," uttered with a strong nasal accent. The man who was at the other end of the phone says that the following conversation took place over the telephone after the deaf and dumb man could stand it no longer and made an effort to receive the evidently insistent message: "Honk." "Is that Doctor Pills?" "Honk." "Please hurry, doctor, and come to my house: my baby has convulsions." "Honk." "You will come at once, won't you?" "Honk." "You know who this is, of course? I am Mr. So-and-So." "Honk." - "Why, what's the matter, doctor?" I can"t seem to understand what you say."' "Honk." Then the alarmed father hung i up the phone and rushed down to the doctor's I office and as he opened the door he heard the visitor say into the telephone on the wall, "Honk."

Visitor UM "There's a Reason" FINE MUSIC FOR THE BIG FLEET Admiral Evans' Ships Are All Well Equipped With Instru- , ments. - ' TWENTY-SIX PIANOLAS ABOARD Jack Tars Will Vary the Day's Mo notony wun selections From tho j Latest Musical Shows. The officers and men who make up the fighting force of Admiral Evans' squadron will not suffer for lack of music on their long cruise around the Horn and into the waters of the Pacific. The interesting fact came out yesterday that no fewer than twenty six Pianola-Pianos had been supplied by the Aeolian Company to the various ships comprising the fleet a circum stance which should insure harmony on board ship. Anothex interesting side light on this musical equipment is that the installing of the instruments in question wa not due to ths initiative of the Navy Department, but to that of the officers and men of the squadron who set aside for this purpose a fund created out of voluntary contributions, every man on board ship coming in for his share of the expense, 'at ha been a matter of great satisfaction to us, ' said Mr. Davis, of the Aeolian Company, "to receive these orders for Pianola Pianos for the great battle ships and cruisers of our Navy. It shows how up-to-date In matters musical the Navy is and how thor oughly they appreciate a good thing. All the Tars Can Now Play. "Our bluejackets are no exception to , the general run of humanity in pos- ' sessing a craving for good music. While there are always men among -the different crews who can play ths piano, at the same time their ability Is sure to be limited. The advantage of the Pianola-Piano is that it has no limitations. Practically every com position ever written that was worth hearing has been put in the form of music rolls for this,instrument. Here is everything Chonin Aver wrnf aii thoven's greatest compositions, and from these lofty heights you can get anything you want down to the irre pressible 'Merry Widow' waltz or the latest popular song of the day. Very Best for Every Ship. "The Instruments purchased . for ths battleships are not the cabinet Pianolas, but the upright pianos, with a Pianola concealed within the case. The keyboard is there ready for hand playing as in any piano, but if you' want to use the music roll all you havs j to do is to let down the pumping pedals and slide back a panel in ths ! front of the case, thus admitting the i roll. This makes of the Pianola piano, two Instruments in one a piano and a' Pianola. The combination has been1 aptly termed 'the first complete piano.' , it has met with wonderful success all I over the world, and I do not believe 1 our battleships or cruisers will touch at any port where this modern Amer- , lean achievement In musical Instru ments is not known. "On some of the ships two and some times as many as throe Pianola-Pianos have been Installed. To a landsman un familiar with the conditions on ship board this might seem strange, but the conditions which exist on our fighting craft are such that four oT.five Instru ments would be needed on those of the largest tonnage in order to supply all those, on board with the enjoy ment that only music can bring. Same in All the Ranks. "The lines between the different ranks are drawn sharply. First conies the 'wardroom mess.' Including the executive officer (usually a liciltenant commander), the navigator, ordnance officer, watch and division officers, and all other officers above the rank of ensisn. "Next is the 'Junior officers' mess." commonly called In ship parlance the 'steerage.' In this are all line officers, such an ensigns and midshipmen, not assigned to 'watch and division' dntv, and all staff officers having senior above them, paymasters, clerks, etc. Then comes the 'warrant officers' mess,' including the boatswain, gunner, car penter, warrant machinist.' etc., and two more the chief petty officers' and the seamen's ms. "As these different messes each oc cupy their own quarters a Pianola Piano belonging to the wardroom mess would be of no. benefit whatever to the junior officers, and -the jackies them selves could go hungry for music dur ing the whole cruise rf they -had to de pend on the warrant officers' instru ment. Selections of Wide Variety. As for the rolls selected, they are naturally enough of the lighter class of music, waltzes, two-steps, popular song hits, and musical comedy selections; but it is by no means uncommon for an ordor including several of the better known classics to come in. The sea men as well as the officers know the best and want the best. You would be surprised at the intelligent knowl edge of music some of the latter dis play when they come in to select an instrument. They usually look around pretty well before they purchase, and the finer, points of the Pianola-Piano, like the Themodist and the Metrostyle, are fully appreciated. But, then, the men-who follow the sea are well known to possess a keen appreciation of things musical. You'll find Pianola Pianos, for Instance, on all the big private yarhts J. Pierpont Morgan's Corsair. Cornelius Vandorbilt's North Star. Sir Thomas Llpton's Erin, and a hundred others, to say nothing of those upon practically all of the great ocean , liners. Oil Pacific Fleet, Too. The same condition exists on the Pacific Coatrt. where upon virtually everyone of Uncle Sam's battleships in! the waters of the Pacific may be found one or more Pianola-Pianos.
