7 l4 THE MORNING OREGOXIAN, THURSDAY, JANUARY 14, 1909. , i . ? ICE IF! EVIDENCE WILLAMETTE River in Grip of Frost King First Time in More Than Twenty Years. COLUMBIA IS CLEARING Hoary Ice Is Running Out and Worst Part Is Betwen Astoria and Three Tree Point Big Blockade Above Vancouver. A thin coating of ice covered the "Willamette yesterday morning: at Port land, and the prospects are favorable for a closing- of the river at this point for the first time in more than 20 years. In all the eddies, beneath the docks nnd in places where the swells of passing steamers do not disturb the water, the ice has formed to a thickness of about two Inches. Added to the low temperature which Vas prevailed during: the past ten days, x the snow gathered up by the street cleaning; department has been dumped Into the river and instead of melting; has assisted In the formation of ice. The weather bureau offers no hope for warmer weather nnd the sages de clare that the Willamette will freeze over for the first time since 188S. Below the mouth of the Willamette the Ice has nearly all run out and only thin ice Is encountered by the steam ships. Between Astoria and Three Tree Point is the worst place at present and steamships have no difficulty In breaking up the Ice there. The steivm ships Asuncion, Washtenaw, and Nome City arrived up yesterday and the Eu reka and Breakwater left down. Above Vancouver the Ice has ground ed and Is piling: up rapidly. From that point to the headwaters of the river the ice is continuous. When the thaw does come the Ice will run thick and it is feared that navigation will be held up again. CAPTAIN" BRIDGETT RETURNS Arrives in Portland In Charge of Oil Tank Steamship Asuncion. Captain George K. Brldgett returned to Portland yesterday in command of the steamship Asuncion.

Super vising Inspector John Bermingham re duced the time of suspension. The Asuncion and Norwood came to gether off Point Gorda during a dense fog at 3:2S on the morning of October 8. 1908. Both vessels suffered con siderable damage. Captain Brldgett and Chief Officer Larsen were each suspended for 0 days. Captain Maftln and the mate of the Norwood were not punished.

To the Editor.) In the passing to the spiritual world on Christmas day- of Mrs. E. D. John son many hearts were touched to ten der grief at the seeming loss to the living. Although born In the West, where most of her life was lived, hardly a state in the Union but holds some one who knows and loves Mabel Lank ton Carter. Born in Wartsburg, Wash, In 1873. her childhood spent in Eastern Oregon, Ler later years in Salem, Hood River and Portland excepting the years of study In the East she was irnly a Western girl, the type all the -world loves, tender, faithful, loving. true, with the high courage, brave spirit and resourceful mind which did always lighten care or make merry with Joy. Her love for the beautiful out doors, the streams, the woods, the hills, the mountains, the ocean and the blue sky. and for all the wild green things that grow was a passion second only to her love for her friends, who touch ing hearts and hands reach almost around the world.

In the Spring of 1S97, she taught a year in a seminary in api it.t"" Returning to Salem, she occupied the chair of oratory at Willamette Lnl versity for four years, during which time many enjoyed her public recitals. The number of lives srte touched and helped in her work, opening many a closed door, is known only to Him who knows all things. Breaking In health under the strain of her work, she left Salem and spent Valley with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. U Carter a vear with a orowiei ., and Mrs. George L. Tracy, in Canyon City, and another year in renewed study in expression in Chicago, re turning to Hood River for a year previous to her marriage. la September. 1307. began the hap piest year In her life.

Dr. Johnson brought his wife home to Portland, wh.ere the past year has been so quietly happy, the In fluence radiating from the little home has reached far and added Joy to many hearts. Her tenderness and devotion to her Immediate family are known only to them. Her courage, loyalty and wide reaching spirit of helpfulness are known to hundreds. Never did a little child appeal to her without receiving full measure of consideration. She had the understanding heart. In the near New Tear was to have come tho fulfillment of the promise which crowns a woman's life. Passing through the door has changed nothing. Only dropped a veil between us, who wait, and she who wakes with God's last gift In her arms. M. W. P. LINEMEN ENTER PROTEST OPPOSE GltAXTIXG EXTEXSIOX TO POWER COMPANY. Representatives of Electrical Work ers Urge Council to Enforce Measure to Protect Them. Addressing the City Council yesterday afternoon, O. Frank Carrey, business agent of the Electrical Workers' Union Local, declared that a promise lrcm rep resentatives of the Portland Railway. Light & Power Company is worthless, and said that the members of the Council and the Mayor have had dealings enough with the company to know the truth of his statement. He and the members of his union wished the Council to refuse the application of the company for an ex tension of nine months in which to com ply with the provisions of an ordinance designed to protect, linemen. II. J. Parkinson, editor of the Labor Press, also spoke, and urged that not more than two months be allowed tho corporation, if any at at all is to be granted. Al though the report of the street commit tee, recommending suspension' of the terms of the ordinance for nine months, was before the Counuil. the measure was rereferred to the committee after the remarks by the two rpeakers. Mr. Parkinson spoke first, and reviewed briefly the efforts of the electrical work ers in securing the passage of the ordi nance, which became effective about three weeks ago. When Mayor Lane was asked by the representatives of the union to enforce the law. he promised to do so. but about that time the company sought an extension of time until the re arrangement of wires and poles through out the city may be adjusted. The re quest waa made by Oskar Huber, for the company, and was favorably recom mended by the street committee. October 1. 1909. being the date fixed In the re port for the ordinance to again take ef fect. "We ask. In the name of humanity, that this Council do not grant the com pany more than 60 days in which to make the necessary changes." said Business Agent Carrey. "That Is ample time In which to do the work. But I will say to you frankly that I would not consent to even 60 days' time unless the company will put up a bond as a guarantee of good faith: I would not take the word of its officers for It. for their word is worthless; they seldom, if ever, keep a promise. You gentlemen and the Mayor have had enough experience with the company to know that. They have prom ised many things, but have never ful filled them." ANNOUNCEMENTS.

M. a thermometer on The Oregonlan building registered 12 de grees above zero. The warmest moment in a whole week was experienced yesterday after noon when the thermometer registered 18 degrees above zero. The lowest point reached by the mercury was 8 degrees above zero and this was dur ing the early morning. Last night District Forecaster Beals thought that a slight moderation could be counted on for today. Light snow Is expected, which may turn to rain, accompanied by warmer easterly winds. Slight snow flurries, which added over an Inch to the total fall, occurred after midnight Tuesday, and at intervals through the day. Floating Ice appeared in great quan tities in the river all through the day. There was much solid Ice, not to men tion tons of the mush ice, which near ly covered the surface of the water outside the channel. Ice extended out from the banks for a distance of sev eral feet. The rain storm which had been pre dicted for yesterday failed to materi alize. It settled far to the south, and the lowering of the barometer which was expected to bring rain, was suc ceeded by a continual and rapid rise of the barometer end the leaking in of more British Columbia weather. Although work of removing the great banks of snow from the streets In the business district has been un dertaken by the street-cleaning de partment, little impression has yet been made. Unless this snow is out of the way when the thaw sets In, there is likelihood of a couple of Inches of water on the sidewalks, as the gut ters are now completely choked with Bnow and ice. Inoonvenlences of the cold-snap are growing fewer and fewer as adjust ments are made. Portland is now pret ty well used to the thing and the plumber is experiencing a cessation in his get-rlch-qulck rush of a week ago. Fuel deliveries are still very hard to get, although the supply is reported plentiful. Unlucky is the householder who exhausts his supply of coal or wood before ordering mort, for the companies were saying yesterday that they might be able to deliver In 24 hours from the receipt of an order or they might not. TRAIN SERVICE MICH BETTER Through Passengers Kept Moving and Freights Start Today. Snowplows continued the fight against the drifts in the Columbia Canyon yes terday, and through trains were kept tisfactorlly. Local trains were annuled. Forces of Work men were kept busy trying to brush the drifts off the track at the danger points, and good progress was made throughout the day. For the past week the operating department has been fighting a steady wind that blew the snow on the track almost as fast as it wa. cleared away. General Superintendent Buckley, of the lAxriman lines returned to the city for a while yesterday, but returned to the storm district last night to con tinue the direction of the fight In per son. It is expected that unless more snow falls, which was feared last night, freights would be moving by to night. Through trains were running several hours late, much time being lost by reason of the track being slippery Snow trouble was also being encoun tered in the Blue Mountains, where the drifts piie-up very deep every Winter, even when there is no trouble along the Columbia River. BROTHERS MOT AGREE PARTNERSHIP FIRM OF L-YXDS & CO. IX COURT. Plumbing Concern in Legal Entan glement Just When Harvest Is at Hand.. Because "matters of violent disagree ment" have arisen In the plumbing es tablishment of J. F. Lynds & Co., at 11 First street, suit to dissolve the partner ship has been filed In ..te Circuit Court by E. A. Lynds Just at the time when plumbers are most In demand. The de fendant in the suit Is J. F. Lynds. the plaintiff's brother. The plaintiff asks that his partner be restrained by an or der of the court from disposing of any of the firm's property, making collections of money due or drawing any money- of the partnership from the bank. Lynds filed a $500 bond yesterday, B. J. Burk hardt being his surety. The plaintiff says the business was or ganized May.l, 1906, E. A. Lynds furn ishing the cash, aggregating $7500. and J. F. Lynds agreeing to devote his en tire time to the business, for which he was to receive $100 a month. This was later Increased to $1M a month. The profits were to be divided equally. The plaintiff complains that his partner has removed a part of the stock since their disagreement, anu also refuses to permit E. A. Lynds to have access to the books. C. F. Lynds has filed an answer to the suit, in which he lays the blame for their trouble upon Buna Lynds, E. A. Lynds" daughter, who was employed as book keeper for the concern. The defendant's story runneth In this wise: The Lynds dissolved partnership August 1. 1906. C. F. Lynds then entered into partnership with Mrs. C. M. Lynds. his brother's wife. Mrs. Lynds' daughter was appointed bookkeeper at $40 a month. C. F. Lynds says he found her incompetent. Although the firm is solv ent the books shew a $5000 indebtedness. Then, according to the defendant, E. A. Lynds had false entries made, eras ing original entries which showed hi contribution to the capital stock of the concern, and writing "loan" in place of "to stock account." Plumbing .was done on eight houses belonging to E. A. Lynds, but Instead of entering up the prloe of the Jobs in the books at regular rates, only the cost of the material waa entered. At this J. F. Lynds discharged the bookkeeper, and placed the books in the hands of Rufus Holman. But the plrl persisted in under taking to perform her work as formerly, answering the telephone and taking or ders, much to J. F. Lynds' annoyance. He says he was insulted both by her and her father. At last, when lie went to pay his men off last Saturday night, he found that his former partner had notified the bank not to honor his checkB. He goes on to show that the firm has made a profit of $6000 and owes only current bills, and asks that the complaint be dismissed. TELEGRAPH COMPAVJl" SUED Charged With Failure to Deliver Message for Five Days. A $1000 damage suit Is the result of the alleged failure of the 'Western Union Telegraph Company to deliver an Important message to Lents. Atter be ing transmitted from Tacoma to Port land, it was mailed to the addressee, reaching him five days later. Charles Wheeler is the plaintiff, who has brought the suit in the State Cir cuit Court. He says that a Mr. Young, of Tacoma, presented to that offics on October 16 last, the following message: "To Charles Wheeler, Lents, Or.: Mother Is dying. Come at once." When he received the message through the , mail, five days later. Wheeler says, his mother was dead and buried. He was prevented from reach ing iier bedside, and even from seeing her again alive. Insurance Concern Snes Contractor. Alleging misrepresentation of the amount of their payroll on the part of A. J. Bingham and Joseph McClelland, structural contractors, the Frankfort Marine Accident & Plate Glass Insur ance Company has brought suit against them in the Circuit Court for an ac counting, or in case this cannot be bad, for the recovery of $1000. It is as serted that the contractors took out a policy August 12, 1904, insuring all their workmen. The amount of pre mium was to be based on the amount of the payroll. Bingham & Flynn suc ceeded to the business February 4, 1905. The amounts, upon which premi ums were paid weTe $6900 and $6200. at two different times, while the ac tual payroll Is said by the insurance company to have been in excess of $20,000. Sues for Payment of Notes. The Standard Construction Company Is alleged to have failed to make payment on four notes aggregating $4000. To se cure payment Joseph Foxton has started suit in the State Circuit Court. He lays claim to $160 interest and $350 attorney's fees, in addition to the amount of the notes. They are alleged to have been made out in Foxton's favor on the Bankers & Lumbermens Bank. Orrin Backus is the defendant In the suit. Replies to Answer In Libel Suit. Replying to the' Journal Publishing Company's answer to his $40,000 damage suit, L. M. Davis denies in substance its defense, and accuses the newspaper of maliciously defaming his reputation by publishing untrue articles in the Fall of 1902. He says the Journal refuses to give him access to Its files, which would permit a more definite charge. Johnson Before Grand Jury. J. H. Johnson, ex-guard at the county rockpile, testified before the grand Jury yesterday morning. It is believed that the investigating body is looking into the causes which led up to the death of Grover Duffey, a prisoner at the rock pile, Johnson being an ex-guard. Duffey died at the County Hospital after having been taken sick at Kelly Butte. Says Wife Deserted Him In 188 7.

It causes a dull, heavy, listless feeling, which is often mistaken for nervous debility , or general decline. Varicocele results from partial paralysis of the delicate nerve fibers that control local circulation of the blood. The muscular coating of the veins is deprived of nervous control and becomes Inactive, weakens and relaxes. The blood vessels expand from the pressure within. The circulation be comes sluggish and clots form in little nooks and pockets tkat con stantly enlarge as the relaxation continues. These clots may pass into general circulation, and should one find lodgment in the valves of the heart, the result might be instant death. Should a clot lodee in the minute capillaries of the brain, apoplexy or general paralysis might fol low. - I CURE VARICOCELE Don't allow yourself to be butchered and tinkered with.

TAYLOR Co. 234i MORRISON STREET, CORNER SECOND, PORTLAND, OR. " IS Crawfish Man Is Seized With Acute Pneumonia. END QUESTION OF HOURS Taken 111 at Beginning of Storm, He Stuck to Business Until Obliged to Take to His Bed Last Monday Xever to Rise. John Schlenk, better known to the people of Portland as "The Baron," one of the proprietors of the Quelle Cafe, lies at his home, 307 West Park street, on his deathbed. According to his phy sicians, the end is a question of hours. Early during the present storm "The Baron" contracted a severe cold, but nevertheless continued to attend to business, despite the warning of his physician, and the result is that he is attacked by acute pneumonia. Drs. A. J. Gelsy and J. D. Fenton, who are at tending him, say there is not a remote possibility of his surviving the malady. He has been bedridden only since Mon day. Among the caterers of Portland there Is probably none who enjoys a wider acquaintance than John Schlenk. Many of his friends know "The Baron" by no other name, and became acquainted with him because of having formed a taste for the crawfish, introduction of which made Schlenk famous. This crustacean, -as a food product, was intro duced in Portland as an edible in the early eighties, but never attained much prominence until John Schlenk, Fritz Stroebel and Fred Sechtem formed a partnership in the old Quelle at Second and Stark streets in 1892. Sechtem and Schlenk -finally bought out Stroebel and engaged in business for themselves. "The Baron" is a native of Wurtem burg, Germany, and came to America when a young man. He first settled at San Francisco, but moved to Portland about 1880 and worked as a waiter for Baum & Brandes. on First street, then one of the leading catering establish ments In Portland. When Lois Eppinger took charge of the old Esmond Hotel in the early '80s, he obtained the services of "The Baron" as head waiter in that establishment. By close attention to business Schlenk managed to save his money and engaged In business for him self. He Is a prniinent member of the Portland Lodge No. 142, B. P. O. Elks. He Is married but has no children. Schlenk is known throughout the United States and many other parts of the world as the "Crawfish Man." He is probably one of the very few men in this or any other country who has made a fortune out of crawfish. POSSIBLE RAIN, FORECAST Weather Bureau Predicts High s Temperature for Today. PORTLAND.
