That Portland administration la un intentionally Interfering with naviga tion, throus-h not taking steps to lower the Bull Run pipe line auuth of the Madison-street brlda--. waa Illustrated yes terday, when officials of the Port of I'ortland Commission made an exhaus tive survey of the upper harbor and found, plenty of water above and below the pipe line crosalmr.

Recent Operations Successful. Soundings were first made on the East Side, between the Morrison-street brldse 'and the new dock of the Oregon Im provement Company. Adequate dpths were found for steam schooner and such vessels as discharge cargo there, show ing that recent dredging operations were successful, and with tbe exception of a few lumps to be removed, the basin and main channel are clear. Through the Madison-street bridge channel Captains Pease and Groves con tinued using the lead lines and more than X feet of water was touno in, tne 'Toad, with depths close to feet north of the bridge. Then the McCraken was ijiesded upstream, on a line with the ranees to the Portland mill, wnero me best water was found toward the west (shore, but the channel walls are holding well and there Is a good d.-pth where dredging has been carried on. Crossing 'the stream to Inman-Poulsen's. the work was carried on more thoroughly to as certain to what extent recent work has Improved the road. With the tug steaming on the range bearing from the south end of the new mill dock, the channel was found clear to Ita Juncture with the road to the Port land mill, and depths taken from east to west were encouraging. With the- re moval of a few lumps a better basin will be created In which to move heavily-laden tramp steamers from the mill lo tbe main road. Vpper Harbor Important.

It Is regarded as Impera tive by navigators that dredsrlng be con ' tlnued. I'nder existing conditions It ap pears that the only gains to be made are In keeping the present channel open, for additional depth cannot be uniformly obtained until the pipe line Is lowered. In the opinion of those following the work yesterday. It Is necessary for the main to be sunk so that It will be M feet below the surface of the river at ; aero, which will permit a Su-foot chan nel to be established and maintained without fear of damage to the pipe. As the main Is located now. dredging can not be carried on near It owing to the danger of Its breaking, through tlie re moval of adjacent material. Soundings were concluded at 10 o'clock and It was felt by members of the party that the data secured were an accurate guide to future digging. It Is planned to resume operations when dredges are available to "clean up" the basin be tween the channels, and probably en large It. e-.MOKE IS BOTH Kit TO FLEET Beaver Has Disagreeable Trip, Glen- lee Delayed. Northland Grounds. Excluding the loss of life and prop erty, the greatest discomfort felt from forest nres Is probably being experi enced by masters and pilots of vessels plying from Portland, for not a craft arrives but that delays or accidents are credited to the obscured condition of the river and ocean along the Coast. For the first time this season fog whis tles were sounded In the harbor Thurs day night and the smoke finally be came so thick that steamers were com pelled to anchor or tie up. The British tramp Glenlee. which an chored near St. Helens early Thursday morning, was held there at last reports yesterday, while the steamer tortb iand. en route to the lower river to complete her lumber cargo, went aground In the smoke late Thursday night off Reuben. The steamer Ockla hama and tug John McCraken. of the Port of Portland fleet, were ordered to her assistance yesterday. It waa re ported that she was hard and fast north of the channel and resting on a mud bank over &9 feet from deep water. Captain KM ton. master of the liner Beaver, which arrived up yesterday afternoon at 2:40 o'clock, pronounced the voyage from San Francisco as the worst he has experienced and said that he had not slept since leaving the Golden Gate. Icnse fogs along the coast, combined with smoke being blown offshore, created a condition that added difficulties to navigation, not withstanding which the Heaver made aood time. On the southbound trip she established a new record between San Francisco and San Pedro by steam ing from dock to dock In SIS hours. At the suggestion of river pilots all moves In the harbor yesterday were made before o'clock, aa the pall was rapidly thickening. I-ORT .

At this Juncture Inspector Tompkins ordered the lockmaster to hold tho Spencer until the Gatxert had been locked through, the Intention being to lock both boats through on the return trip at once. Connora replied that as the Spencer had whistled for locks he had no alternative but to pass her through first, whereupon a controversy ensued, and the Inspector ordered tbe suspension of the lockmaster. The case has been reported to siajor Morrow at Portland, who ordered First Lieutenant 11. H. Roberts of The Dalles, to bold an Investigation. Connor has been lockmaster here 14 years. I.nrllne Delayed by Smoke. Delayed by smoke on the lower river and an unusual amount of cargo at way landings, the steamer Lurllne did not reach I'ortland until noon yesterday and her return to Astoria was delayed until this morning. She will leave on time with the expectation that she will then remain on schedule. The steamer has been late for several days on ac count of the loss of several hours when ber eccentric rods were damaged . In colliding with a submerged timber. Titan Digging New Berth. To afford sufficient ' water at the foot of Ankeny street for coaster bringing cement cargoes the dredge Titan, of the l'acltic Bridge Company, was yesterday shifted from above the Madison-street bridge to that berth. A new warehouse has been completed there. The dredge Beaver waa re turned to hr former position above the bridges, where she Is excavating for a Bull Run pipe line, after having moved to the North Pacific mill Thurs day. Marine Notes. Lighthouse tenders engaged In buoy work on the bar and river have been forced to suspend operations, owing to the smoke. With about TOO tons of cargo from the Atlantic Coast, the steamer Falcon har put to sea from San Francisco, where the shipment was transferred. Workmen yesterday completed a new roadway to the upper deck of A Ins worth dock and the former entrance there and that to the lower dock are closed. The steamers J. A.

X U teat IS PL Contractors May Be Paid for City Work Monthly. 80 PER CENT SUGGESTED By Reducing Interest Charges to Bid ders, Executive Board Hopes to Obtain Lower 'Bids and Increased Competition. There Is a strong probabllty that the Executive Board will give Its In dorsement to a charter amendment that will enable the city to pay con tractors on city work 80 per cent a month on jobs, as It Is felt that this would bring about easier conditions for the firms handling Improvements and thus reduce the cost to the public. Members of the sewer committee of the Board are unanimous in their opin ion that this plan should be adopted, and whHe no formal action has been taken, there Is a probability that It will be. City Engineer Morris is strongly in favor of the proposal and has recom mended that It be laid before the peo ple in November or June for decision. He declares that It would prove to be one of the best means of securing re duced prices for city Improvements. "If the city could be empowered to pay contractors 80 per cent a month on their work," said Mr. Morris. "It would. In my opinion, reduce the price of these Improvements to from 15 to 25 per cent. The borrowed capital that Is required under the present law is so large that the interest rates eat up a vast sum." Under the present charter, the con tractor receives nothing until his work Is completed and accepted by the city. Within the past few years, since Port land has become a great city, contracts running Into hundreds of thousands of dollars are frequently awarded. In a large majority of the cases contractors are obliged to borrow the money with which to carry on the work. All of the Interest charges are added to the Itema that go to make up the cost of the work, and the property owner has to pay for It. Another feature of the proposed amendment that Is said to work to the advantage of the public Is the addi tional competition that would result. If 80 per cent a month were paid to contractors on all of their Jobs by the city, more of them would be enabled to enter the field, aa it would not re quire so large an Investment to carry on the business. Payment of 80 per cent a month on all contracts Is made In Seattle and many other large cities, and the Gov ernment also uses this system. It is said. b;g store is planned OPTION TAKEN O.V EAST SECOND AND HO I. LAD AY BLOCKS. Eastern Capitalists Reported to Be Behind Enterprise- Site Re garded as Convenient. East Side residents and shoppers yesterday were discussing the contem plated large department store which Eastern capitalists will build In the vicinity of East Second street and Hol laday avenue if present plans are car ried out- An option has been taken on the whole block. This, it Is understood, will be converted Into a long lease, so that the promoters can construct a four or six-story concrete building on the en tire ground. George M. Hyland. manager of a Portland paving concern yesterday said that he had been asked to take charge of the store and be the local representative of the Eastern people. He would- not. however, divulge the names of the promoters nor give any of the details of the proposed enter prise. He has not decided whether he will accept the offer made to htm. It Is understood that there Is plenty of capital back of the project and that plans are well enough forward to as sure the establishment of the depart ment store. The site Is considered convenient for the store, as It lies be tween the approaches of the new Steel bridge and the proposed Broadway bridge, where streetcar traffic centers. PASSING AUTC HITS MAN Victim Staggers Off of Curb Ab sence of Tall Lamps Costs $S. John Montgomery staggered off the curb at Third and Burnslde streets Thursday night, when drunk, and was struck by a passing automobile, owned by F. L. Kelley. Montgomery was not seriously Injured. He was arrested, but released later. John F. Brlce, with offices In the Corbett Building, reported to the po lice Thursday night that he bad a nar row escape from a serious automobile wreck, through the neglect of the streetcar company In running a gravel train without proper lights. Brlce said that he was going out Hawthorne ave nue at 10 o'clock Thursday night, and In going around another car narrowly missed running into the train, which waa running with the motor behind and no lights on the front. J. A. Baxter passed the corner of Chapman and Washington streets at 1:35 yesterday morning with no tall lamps on his automobile. Patrolman Royal shouted to him to stop, but lie paid no heed. Royal commandeered an other car and pursued, overtaking Bit) ter at Fourteenth street. He was fined S5 In Municipal Court yesterday. Henry Melstner ana t red H. Green were caught speeding by Patrolmen Slma and Evans, of the motorcycle squad, and paid fines of $10 each yes terday. ROANOKE TO ST. JOHNS Broken Pump on Oregon Drydock Slakes Plant Useless. Because a pump on the Oregon dry- dock failed to operate properly yester day, the steamer Roanoke, of the North Pacific Steamship Company, which was raised Thursday night for an examina tion as to injuries received near Henrlcl's Wednesday, was floated and towed to the Port of Portland drydock at St- Johns. Captain Blaine, of the Oregon dry- dock, ssld that apparently the steamer did not swing Into the river bank, but struck a submerged log, because her rudder showed damage near the center. SAVING 1 instead of on the bottom, which would have been the case had she grounded astern. Her hull is reported In good shape. Captain Blaine said that three or four days would be required to re place the broken parts of the rudder. At the office of the company, wbere 11500 has been returned to passengers who Insisted on not being further de layed. It waa said that the Roanoke would depart from here at noon Sun day Some passengers left on the steamer Klamath, which sailed yester day afternoon, and more will go on the Redondo, leaving Astoria this after noon. Tngs to Brighten Regatta. Orders have been Issued by Superin tendent Campion, of the Port of Port land Commission, for the tug Wallula to take part In the marine parade of the Astoria regatta Tuesday. She will display all her flags, while the tug Oneonta. which is out of commission, will also fly all colors at her berth. All staterooms on the steamer Charles R. Spencer, which Is to carry Admiral Robinson and his staff to Astoria Sun day, have been engaged and reserva tions are being made for tickets by excursionists. MOUNTA N WIND CHILLS HURRICANE DRIVES PORTLAND ' PARTY FROM MOUNT HOOD. After Shivering Among Rocks Wait ing for Gale to Subside,- Climb ers Abandon Ascent. ROWE, Or., Aug. 26. (Special.) Mount Hood was in an angry mood Wednesday morning, when a party of nine was driven down from' the moun tainside by a terrific hurricane. The party was made up of E. C. Gllt ner, Mrs. GUtner, L. H. Wells. William Gerretson, Jr., Hans Nlcklas, Henry Bauer, Emll Bauer. Joe Heller and Paul Bauer. This party left the snow line at 1 A. M., under the charge of Guide Miles, and made fine progress through the lava beds and broken boulders, un til nearlng the first snowfield, when it encountered the most terrlnc wind storm Imaginable. The wind was keen and chilling. Miles quickly disposed the members of the party behind the big rocks for shelter, but even then the wind was so bitter cold that all suffered keenly. In hopes that the wind would subside and permit the ascent to be made, the party watted an hour or more, crushed among the rocks, but the wind grew more vio lent. The guide went out on the snow Held, but the wind was so violent that he could not maintain his foothold. Finally the entire party turned back at 2:30 A. M. The. return down thn mountainside was made in safety, but with much discomfort, as the wind blew the fine volcanic ashes and sand against their faces with force. The party reached the camp at tlmberllne In safety, and after a rest of an hour reached Government Camp. The party returned to Rhododendron Tavern Wednesday at 9:30 A: M. Guide Coalman said that the wind might prevent ascents for a day or two, but the guides would continue to take parties up the mountain until at least September 15. There Is less snow on Mount Hood at this time of tbe year than usual. INITIATIVE JWEASURES UP Water Mains and Public Docks Is sues Before Council. When the City Council meets at 9:30 o'clock this morning, two initiative measures will be presented for sub mission to the electors in the Novem ber election.

GIRLS rviAKE GLI1 Three Accompany Four Men Up Perilous Prouty Peak. MANY DANGERS ESCAPED To Preserve Records of H. H. Proutv's Pioneer Ascent, Party of Mazamas Climbs South Pin nacle of North Sister, a BT EDGAR TS. OOUBSEN. CAMP RIDDEL.I Aug. 23. A party of seven Mazamas made the most spectac ular and successful climb ever attempted in the Northwest by a mixed party of men and women yesterday. The ascent was of the south pinnacle (now known as Prouty Peak) of the North Sister In the Three Sisters group. As far as Is now known, tills particular peak had never been climbed to Its sum mit until H. H. Prouty. of Portland, a member of this year's Mazama expedi tion, managed to gain the top on August 9. Mr. Prouty found no record of anyone else ever having reached the summit, al though at the top of the north peak, which is a part of the same mountain, blit lower and separated from Prouty Peak by a practically Impassable chasm, he found the names of Rodney Glisan, Mr. Loomla and a third person, whose name was partially obliterated by moisture. Since August 9 this particular peak, which Is ascended .from the north side and which presents no very great difficulties, has been climbed by a party of three, Messrs. Hicks, Mohler and Melendy, and also by Edgar E. Coursen, of Portland, who made the as cent alone on August 17. Climb to Preserve Records. In order to preserve from the elements the record of Mr. Prouty, which he had left written on a handkerchief under a stone at the top of Prouty Peak, Mr. H. H. Rlddell. in command of the 1910 Ma nama expedition, determined that a Ma mma metal box must be taken to the top. Four men and three women under took the dangerous task. The party con sisted of H. H. Prouty, guide and leader; H. H. Rlddell, Miss E. Louise Almy. Miss Jeanne M. Stewart. Miss Geraldlne Coursen, Edgar E. Coursen and Jack BenefieL This party, equipped with al penstocks, lee axes, Swiss hemp rope and furnished with water canteens, hard tack ond dried fruit, started at 6:15 A. M.. August 9. The day was ideal for climbing, fairly warm, but with a delightful breexe stir ring. For the first two hours the as cent over the snowflelds and glacier which He between the North and Middle Sisters was easy work, but after crossing the glacier and striking the long ridge leading from the south, the work be came both difficult and dangerous. The ridge Is steep, narrow and the way Is blocked by numerous hillocks and cliffs of rock, some of which had to be climbed over, while others could be gone around by working over the sliding rock at the base. Perilous Icefield Crossed. After working along the ridge as far as possible, a sharp descent to the left was necessary to reach a steep snow field. Crossing this field and getting off the ice at Its upper end was probably the hardest part of the day's work. Steps had to be hacked Into the solid Ice with Ice axes where the slope was so steep that one slip of the foot or break of the Ice would have meant cer tain death. After leaving the snow field a turn to the right brought the party into a gully from which the cliffs of the topmost pinnacle were ascended by means of the rope, with which Mr. Prouty had managed to reach the top. The long climb was ended and the sum mit reached at 12:60 P. M. After an hour spent in writing up the records for the strong box and In eating lunch- the descent was begun and camp was reached at 6 P. M. The success of the trip was due to the wise leadership of Mr. Prouty and to the individual courage and coolness of the different members of the party. The party was at no time tied together, the rope only being used when scaling cliffs. Narrow Escapes Numerous. Hair-breadth escapes and moments of extreme peril were numerous for each member of the party, but the day passed without any accidents. The half-inch rope was once cut by a falling rock as neatly as if done by a razor. Jack Bene fiel, who was Just about to descend on the rope climbed down the cliff, re covered the fallen portion and made a splice in mid air, enabling the rest to descend safely. Mr. Coursen was caught by a rocksllde while recovering his daughter's alpenstock and was only saved from being carried over a preci pice by a quick throw of the rope by Mr. Prouty. Part of the success of the as cent was no doubt due to the lightness of the party, the average weight being only 130 pounds. Girls Show Grit. Owing to the difficulties and dangers of the climb, it will-probably be many years before the ascent of Prouty Peak will be attempted again and It is not likely that any woman will ever set foot on its summit again. The men of the party speak with the most unbounded admiration of the nerve and grit shown by the three girls. Whether crawling along rocky ledges hundreds of feet above a safe landing-place, hanging on with fingers and toes to holes cut In the ice or clambering hand-ovef-band up and down cliffs on a rope, they never once lost their courage or their cheer fulness.
