14 TIIE MORXIXG OREGOXIAX, THURSDAY, ' SEPTEMBER 17, 1903. PUGET SOUND MEN ARE BADLY BEATEN Drydock Charges Advanced With View of Mulcting Owners of the Beechley. PORTLAND GETS PRIZE Differential in Docking Rates Amounted to 914,000 Advance 10 Cents Ton for Each Lay Day Owners Save Money. By adhering- strictly to" legitimate tneth ods for securing business and abiding by the published si-ale for drydock charges. Portland has succeeded in winning the recognition it deserve in the maritime world. Owners of the British steamship iweechley have effected a. saving of ud- wards of $14,000 by sending that vessel to Portland for repairs, the difference in drydock charges being responsible. David Rodgers, representing Johnson & muggins, agents for the owners of th wrecked British steamship Beechley, ar rived in Portland yesterday and will look after the repairs to the craft. In an interview Mr. Rodgers gave some in terestlng data in regard to the manner in which affairs are conducted on Puget Bounri. and principally in connection with wrecking Jobs. Mr. Rodgers is well versed in steamship affairs. He was su perintendent of the Bremerton yards for six years and only recently left the em ploy of Moran Brothers, In Seattle. Mr. Rodgers said: "Puget found Arms formed a combine with the intent to gouge the owners of the Beechley on the repair work. Before bids were tendered the dock rates were advanced from 6 cents to 15 cents a ton, nil firms standing in. and a working day limit of 10 hours placed on the contractor securing the Job. This would have made the dock days run in excess of six weekR. .'ot only American firms were in the deal, but representatives of the dock at Ksnuimalt were also in, and the bids ran from KP.OOO to Mo.OOO. "Al Kelly, representing the Puget Sound Shipbuilding Company, was outside , the dock combine and he communicated with the Port of Portland before sending In a bid. The difference was approximately J14.X. and he placed a bid for the re pairs at S24.8TO. Puget Sound firms fig ured 40 days' time for the work. At the rate charged it would mean $762.20 for the first day and J571.65 for each lay day. The charges on the Portland dock are $200 a day flat rate. In addition the appli ances for delivering material are better here than on Puget Sound. "At first the owners were adverse to awarding the contract to Kelly. The sur veyors had forwarded the information to the owners that repairs would cost $30,000. Kelly's bid was below that by a round sum. I was ordered to Portland to in. spect the dock. I will confess that I was prejudiced against the Portland dock owing to stories set afloat In Seattle re garding the condition of the plant. After a thorough examination I wired my nrm No etter dock on the Coast beside Hunter's Point." " On Piiget Sound the drydocks are at Inaccessible places and contractors are forced to supply employes with meals. On a Job like the Beechley this item would run In excess of 3Hi0. The 10-hour r-lan also worked a hardship on the con tractors. In the Portland dock they are at liberty to work 24 hours and it is es timated that the work will be completed In less than 30 days. It is Interesting to note that by add ing the difference in the drydock charges to the bid of Mr. Kelly the, total will be approximately the same as the bids re ceived from the Seattle and Victoria firms for the work. Mr. Rodgers is very specific in his statements regarding the action of the Sound men. "It was a cold-blooded ileal and the object was to rob the owners of the Beechley. Kelly was too smart for them. I nad a bid In and I must ad mlt that Kelly had it all. over me." Marine Notes of Seattle. SEATTLE, Sept. 16. Steamer Aki Maru arrived In this evening with a fair cargo.

Captain Anderson placed the ship on the ways at St. John and was immediately . notified that the ship would be tied up.

THREE HUNDRED IN PARTY Visitors Will Be Given Trolley Ride Throughout City and Formally Entertained at Commer cial Club Parlors. Portland is all ready to welcome the traveling; passenger agents of the country who reach this city today from the annual convention in Seattle. They will arrive by. special train this morn ng at 6 o'clock, and will be given a hearty reception. It is expected that fully 30 traffic agents and their wives will be guests of the city today and tomorrow. Portland is always glad of an oppor tur.itv to greet the members of the American Association of Traveling Passenger Agents. This body worked hard for the success of the Lewis and Clark Fair and It is said to be due in no small part to the work of the ticket agents that the Exposition proved such a great success. Portland people have not forgotten the good work of the association and are eager to show their appreciation. i Helifrd Make Fair Success. In fact so great was the influence of the passenger agents in routing travel this way during the Fair year that the management of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition recognized how much the traffic-getters could help that exposition, and secured this year s convention for the Puget Sound City largely on that account. Although the Seattle fp.ir is not yet complete, the passenger agents were shewn tne grounds and the buildings so far com pleted. The scope and purposes, of the fair were explained to them so they gained a complete understanding of the exposition and will be able to direct travel this way intelligently. Much good is expected to result from this year's convention of the traffic agents in bringing a very heavy travel to the Coast during next year, when the fair Is in session. This movement of tourists will not help Seattle alone, but will be of great benefit to' the en- Ire Pacific Northwest and Portland will undoubtedly reap as much good from this movement as Seattle. At any rate the delegates to. the convention will leave Portland with good impressions of this city. They will be met at the train upon their ar rival here and escorted to the Cornelius Hotel, which will be headquarters for them while in the city. At 10A. M. here will be a trolley ride about the city, taking in the principal points of Interest. The cars will leave Park and Morrison streets at that hour. At noon tnc cars win return to tne busi ness center of the city. Greeting by Women's Club. A delegation of members of the Port land Women's Club will meet the women of the party at 2 o'clock this afternoon at the Cornelius Hotel and escort them to the Oaks, where they will be entertained during the after noon. This jaunt is given with the compliments of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company. The male members of the excursion requested that no entertainment be provided for them this afternoon, but that they be left free to visit their fellow-railroaders In the city and become better ac quainted. From 8 to 11 P. M. tonight there will be a reception for the visitors at the rooms of the Portland Commercial Club. Anticipation When one looks forward to breakfast of delicately browned, thin, crisp particles of Foa. "The Taste Lingers XO Cent Pkgs. at Grocers Refreshments will be served and there will be music throughout the affair. Tomorrow promises to be a gala day for the visitors. They will be given an excursion up the Columbia River by The Da if eg. Portland & Astoria Navi gation Company, in connection with the railroad companies centering at Port land. The steamer Bailey Gatzert will be boarded at the Alder-street dock at 8:30 A. M. and Cascade Locks will be th. objective point of the excursion. The return to Portland will be made at 4:30. After that the passenger agents will scatter to their headquarters through out the country. The entertainment offered them here will be a fitting finale to the 'annual convention and the trip up the Columbia Gorge will leave a lasting impression with them. B. S. JOSSELYX WILL GO EAST Directors to Inspect Plans for Port land's Underground System. Complete plans of Portland's under ground wire and cable system will be taken East by President Behage S. Jos- elyn, of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company, this week and submitted to the Eastern directors of the corporation for their approval. Mr. Josselyn will leave Portland Saturday morning for New York and Philadelphia. He 'Expects to secure the approval of the Eastern cap italists who own the property, so that work on the underground conduit. sys tem in the business district may go for ward within a short time after his re turn. The underground system to be in stalled here means the expenditure of 1.2o0,000. and involves the installation of new machinery at the various sub stations to handle the hew system of distribution. The change also means a reduction in the voltage of the cur rent fed into the various motors about the city, in accordance with the require ments of the fire-insurance underwriters. President Josselyn will accompany his son and daughter to St. Louis, where they will enter school for the Winter. He will also stop at Clinton, Mo., where he will participate in the reunion to be held by the former employes of the Kansas City, Osceola & Southern Rail road, 'known as the "Blair Line." which was sold to the Frisco system ten years ago. Mr. Josselyn was general man ager of the line. The reunion of the former officials of the road is the first to be held. CARS RUN OX rXIOX AVENUE Four Lines Are Transferred From Steel Bridge Route. By working all Tuesday night, crews of workmen In the employ of the Port land Railway, Light & Power Company completed the double track down Union avenue from Holladay avenue to the bridge across Sullivans Gulch, so that the four streetcar lines formerly routed east across the Steel bridge, commenced yesterday morning to cross the Burnside bridge in both directions. These cars are the Union avenue lines. the Alberta, Wood lawn, Vancouver and Broadway. This change removes about 30 per cent of the streetcar traffic from the Steel bridge, and the remaining streetcar travel across the structure will not be heavy enough, it is thought, to damage it. . C. H. Howard Dines Railroaders. Superintendents of motive power of the Harrlman lines, now in session at the Wells-Fargo building headquarters, were guests yesterday noon at a luncheon given at the Arlington Club by Clarence H. Howard, president of the Common wealth Steel Company, of St. Louis. Ac companied by Mrs. Howard, he arrived n the city yesterday for a short stay. In addition to the superintendents of motive power from the various Harrl man headquarters throughout the coun try. J- P- O'Brien and B. S. Josselyn were guests of Mr. Howard at the lunch eon. Both are friends of Mr. Howard, who enjoys probably a wider acquaint ance with railroad men throughout the country than any other man not In the railroad business. SAMPLE GARMENTS.

CEREAL CO., Ltd., Battle Creek, Michigan GOVERNOR OflSTflflO State Executive Testifies Timber Case. in QUESTION ABOUT DEEDS Claim Made That It Was Xot Law ful to Give Confirmatory Deed to the Property Applicants. Governor Chamberlain and Attorney General Crawford testified before Judge Bronaugh In the (Circuit Court yesterday In the suit of E. B. Watson against M B. Rankin, O. M. Rankin and John H, Rankin to obtain $10,600 attorney's fees, Watson alleges that he acted as attor ney for Rankin in securing for the latter 8000 acres of timber land In townsnip g. south of ranees 2 and S. east of W 111am ette meridian. M. B. Rankin and Steph en A. D. Puter filed upon the land about the same time. Rankin believing that he had a prior claim. The State Land Board awarded the title to Puter. He trans ferred it to the Abioua Land Company, the latter to the Commercial Trust Com pany, and Rankin finally purchased It from that firm. Both the Governor and the Attorney- General were asked to tell of the State Land Board's action. The Governor said that there was some question about the title to the land, but that the state had no evidence. He said that the Puter faction was willing to pay $20,000 for a confirma tory deed, and that the state was willing to accept the offer rather than take the chance of losing in a lawsuit,' aitnougn ne added that the state was willing to prose cute if Rankin or his attorney brought forward the evidence. The Governor also said that the board refused to give any body a preference right to the land, even though Mr. Rankin promised that he would furnish facts for the legal battle. "If there was any fraud about the transaction," said the Governor, "Mr. Rankin knew more about it than anybody else." Thf Attorney-General said that he sent a telegram to the West Coast Timber Company at the request of Rankin, made through Attorney Watson. This telegram informed the company that the State in tended to start a suit to cancel the title to the 8000 acres, then held by Puter, and warning the timber firm not to purchase the land. Regarding the reason for .the abandonment of the case he said that the only evidence lacking was that which would connect the Abiqua Land & Timber Company with the alleged fraud. Mr. Crawford said that Charles Moore, ex-State Treasurer, was then a member of the Land Board. We concluded," he continued, "that it was not lawful to give a confirmatory deed. We thought that if we had infor mation of fraud it was our duty to prose cute. I urged Mr. Rankin's attorneys to bring forward the evidence, but none was ever furnished except that sent in a few affidavits. Somebody, I don't remember who. had a bill prepared for presentation to the 1907 Legislature, authorizing the Is suance of a confirmatory deed as soon as the $20,000 was paid over." Watson contends that he has earned his $10,000 fee. Rankin says the attorney came to him with the statement that he could bring about a cancellation of Puter's title. Rankin asserts that he bargained to pay the fee if ffe secured title to the land from the state, but if the suit against Puter failed that Watson was to receive nothing. He says that he was obliged to pay more for the land In purchasing it from the Commercial Trust Company than he would in acquiring it from the Govern ment, and that Watson had nothing to do with the purchase.
