.14 THE MORXDfG QREGONIAX, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1910. PUBLIC SERVICE METHOD BROACHED City Attorney Grant Exploits Plan to Establish Commission. PRESENT OFFICIALS NAMED Prosecutor Would Make Major, En gineer and Himself Board to Govern Gas, Phone and Hallway Concerns. All of Portland"! public service corpora tions will be handled by a public service commission, if a plan now In the process of development by City Attorney Grant Is carried Into effect. Mr. Grant's plan provides for commis sion control of the iras. telephone, electxio light and street railway systems, and for u amendment to the city charter provid ing for the creation of the commission. He has had the Idea In mind for several year, he says, and has been working on It at Irregular Intervals. Ha expects soon to have It ready for submission to other city officials and action by the voters. This Is a subject of great public con cern." said Sir. Grant yesterday, "and reautres most careful consideration. I am unable to devote much time to the subject, but am working on it little by little and hope to have a complete draft of the proposed measure ready for In spection early In the Winter. I would like to have the people vote on It some time next year. "Commission control of public service has met with success In other places, and eems to be the most practical way of operating them to the mutual satisfac tion of the corporations owning them and to their patrons. New York is now oper ating under a state commission, aiany other cities have Inaugurated the system. Notably among these Is Seattle, which eems to be satisfied with the method. Present Officials to Act. "My Idea Is to create no new officials. The Mayor, the City Engineer and the City Attorney, to my mind, would form I a competent commission, as each la I versed In separate departments of the city's affairs. These omclala. I under- stand, form the commission in other cities. "I believe that the city would not be put to much additional expense In carrying on this work. The officials I 'whom I propose shall have charge of It are already nnder salary anl the only extra cost would be In clerk hire and the actual conduct of the office. These could be made topay for them selves.' While none of the public-service cor porations has been consulted, the City Attorney says he does not expect that they will object to the creation of a commission. He thinks that such a plan would operate to the benefit of the corporations themselves, and at tne same time give the people an Im proved service In all the departments calculated to come under its control. Ali such subjects as the streetcar fenders, gas main extensions, garbage disposal plant and others that are now I cer circles Is evidenced by the number agitating the public mind would come I of schools taking up the game. Al tinaer the jurisdiction of the commls- ready several Portland grammar slon and would probably be disposed I of there without passing through sue- I ccsslve stages of cumbersome legists- tion, ritv'a ?vlrrri hMlllnil, Tt I TV mint r.m.mri.i- that Portland Is I no longer a small town." said the City iitnmtr "tt im now a rltv of metro- I polltan proportions and must conform tn metroDolltan regulations. Other large cities have adopted commission rlans and Portland will come to it sooner or later, anyway. All opposition to these Improvements will be over come In time. I believe that a major ity of the" people are in favor of a change such aa I propose. It Is for the peoplo to decide all such Issues, anyway. If a charter amendment pro viding for the commission la submitted to them and explanied properly I be lieve it will carry." The City Attorney expects to include all concerns now operating in' Portland under either a city or state charter In Ills plans. The waterworks system. which is owned by the municipality. snay also be governed, to a certain ex tent, by the commission. Power to regulate extensions of serv ice, to came the maximum and mini mum charges for service, to require Im provements and other features com ing nnder the executive management of these utilities would be given to the commissioners, according to his out lines.

SOGGER SEASON ATHAND MUXTXOJIAII ANT OCEAXICS TO PLAY TODAY. Teams to Meet on Catbollo Young Men's Club Gridiron Fast Game Promised. Soccer football for the season of 1910-'ll will spring Into life this after noon at 3:16 o'clock at the Cathollo Toung Men's Club Athletic Park when the Multnomah Amateur Athletio Club and Oceanlcs will line up. This will be the first of a series of games to be played this year. Both teams are evenly matcnea. Multnomah has been weakened by the loss of Ruchan. fullback, who is to play for the Nationals this year. On account of the condition of the field suitable place for practice has not been available and lack of practice will no doubt tell on the wearers of the winged "U when they face the fast Oceanlcs. The Oceanlcs have one of the most evenly balanced teams In Portland this year and will give a good account of Itself. Soccer football enthusiasts are ex pectlng the most prosperous year In the history of the game. Only four teams are entered In the league this year but these are selected from among several hnndred last players, some of them players from England and Scot- land. The Cathollo Young Men's Club field has been marked off for the game. Al though a trifle small the field is well adapted for soccer. It is wide, smooth and fast and Is covered with grass for the most part. This field will be used for practice and for league matches. Soccer, or association football will: be played Saturdays and Sundays all sea son. Sunday afternoon the Nationals and Cricketers will meet. The Nation als are selected from the pick of the players of the lost year's Nationals and the Queen's Park aggregation, runners-up to Multnomah Club last year. That much Interest prevails In soc- schools have teams organised and an Interscholaitlc League Is being formed. Northwestern colleges, too. are adopt ,n soccer. Hubbard Boies With Burns.

DEWOLFHOPPER ROBBED THUGS BECOME SARCASTIC AS BOOTY IS SMALL. Tall Comedian Ha 9 Little Money With Him and His Manager Is Likewise Nearly "Broke." ST. PAUL. Minn.. Oct. 14. (Special.) De Wolf Hopper, for once In his life, was unable to raise a laugh. When on his way to his hotel from the Shubert Theater, In company with his manager, A. Sv Roth, the pair were confronted by a trio of masked highwaymen, who want ed money, and who wanted It quick. The order "hands up" was quickly obeyed by both comedian and manager, but the thugs nearly wilted when they attempted to measure the altitude at tained by the tall comedian with his hands painted heavenward. Neither of the victims had much In their possession at the time, and the thieves made some sarcastic remarks about the size of their haul. A command to "keep going, and not turn around." was appreciated by comedian and man ager, both obeyinf. implicitly. It was Mr. Hopper's first experience of the sort and he rather enjoyed It, after the first alarm waa over. His manager was calm after ward, saying holdups were common oc currences In the show business. Mr. Hopper is playing an engagement here In "The Matinee Idol," and tonight he felt like exercising and took a some what roundabout way to the hotel. He says he will stick where the electric lights are thickest hereafter. WENDLING T0BE REBUILT Booth-Kelly Company to Restore Town Burned With Forests. EUGENE. Or.. Oct 14. (Special.)

EXTENSION IS OFFERED That Abandoned Project Bo Carried Out Under $20,000,000 Appro- . priatlon Government Is Given Chance to Use Filings. SALEM. Or- Oct. 14. (Special.) That the Owyhee reclamation project in Mal heur County, one of the largest of the reclamation projects In Oregon, may coma under tha 320.000.000 approprla tion to supplement the Irrigation fund and that the company which has oeen promoting the Owyhee has abandoned the project owing to financial difficul ties became known here today. State Engineer John H. Lewis is now starting to attempt to place tne pro ject under the arm of the reclamation service and elve the Federal authorities a chance to develop it through their priority claims against subsequent small filings, which, if they become valid, will work to defeat any compre hensive development. The Owyhee is situated In Malheur County and Includes -nearly 150,000 acres. In explaining- the situation as it stands to F. M. Weymouth of the United States Reclamation Service, Boise, Idaho, the State Engineer says: "It is my understanding V that the Owyhee reclamation project has been thoroughly organized by private capi tal upon the basis of 350 an acre con struction cost, that the Irrigation dis trict organizations have been perfected to all of the irrigable lan dr. under the project and taat the construction work was to have been commenced this Sum mer but owing to the recent financial troubles and the magnitude of the pro ject, it appears now that it will be abandoned. Application No. 24 by the U. 8. Reclamation Service for permit to appropriate 400.000 acre feet of the waters of the Owyhee River, also other waters In Malhour County, is still in good, standing and Is prior to all other filings under the new water law. The Owyhee and Malheur projects were begun prior to the act advancing 320.000,000 to supplement the reclama tion fund, approved June 25, 1910, and the water rights were Initiated long prior. If the private enterprise falls to begin construction in the near future, and the Government falls to protect Its advantageous position as to water fil ings, the project may be so complicated by smaller subsequent filings as to de feat any comprehensive development. "Inasmuch as this project appears to fall within the class entitled to benefit from the 320,000,000 advanced to the re clamation fund, and Oregon is one of the heaviest contributors to this fund. It appears to me thatevery effort should be made to preserve this water right and ultimately complete the project. .It ap pears to me that Oregon is entitled to first call upon this fund, as the same act repeals section 9 of the original act pro viding for the expenditure within each I state of the funds contributed by it. Extension Offer Made. "It Is not in accordance with the prac tice of this office to preserve water rights under incomplete filings where no active step9 are being taken looking to the or ganization and construction of the project. Owing to the great .importance of this matter I will gladly extend the life of this application If you assure me that your department will Investigate the feasibility of the project under the present condi tions." , The State Engineer has also forwarded advices to members of the Oregon Con gressional delegation relative to this project, urging them to take steps to ward seeing that It Is carried out. People Now Willing to Sign. "I trust that you will use your effort to see," he writes, "that thlg project Is again Investigated prior to the report of the Army Engineers. - Where the people would not sign up a few years since at 340 an acre, they will now gladly sign up at 350 or even 360 an acre If this is necessary. Furthermore, the people are organized Into Irrigation districts, which will facilitate negotiations. "If funds are not available for the con struction of the entire project, doubtless some plan could be worked out whereby the Government would undertake the con struction of the reservoir and diversion work?, providing the settlers under sub sequent Congressional legislation would construct the distribution system. If some assurance can be had from the Government authorities that they will again endeavor to organize this project, I believe the water rights can be pre served under the state law."

Its adequate maintenance will cost the man who pays tares -on $1000 just 4 cents annually. If his assessment is $10,000, he will pay 40 cents. It has a $75,000 school plant, now idle and abandoned, of no service to the state. It was never a "local school." Out of an enrollment of 275 normal students for the biennial period 1907-08, but 19 per cent came from Umatilla County, ' The remainder represented 17 other Oregon counties. Oregon needs this normal school. It needs at least three. The "single normal" idea is fast losing ground. Only seven states contain but one normal school. Thirty-eight states have, more than one, ranging from 2 to 18 in number. Oregon ia now one of three states only that support no normal schools. "Be careful how you vote." Cast no ballot against the cause of education. Normal schools are an essential part of the public school system. Oregon should not send its pros pective teachers to sister states for their professional training. Oregon normal students have cost less than the average in any other state except Pennsylvania, where the average cost was the same. Pennsylvania maintains lTnornials. E. 0. S. N. S.
