But the most expensive feature of the booklet will be the topographical map. Tne original will be five feet square and Is to be framed and placed In the Commission's headquarters and lono facsimile maps will be printed In three colors for diet ribution, but all are to ko abroad, as the work will cost approximately $750.

Commissioners Dodge, Shaver and Goodman attended the meeting with President Mears. R. P. Inman being bent on his honeymoon, which. It was announced, was being passed at Collins Hot Springs. Mr. Inman had sent word that If his prenre w as deemvd nec essary he would emerge from the re treat of romance and hie himself to Portland, but his fellow members gave voice In chorus In opposition to dis turbing bride and bridegroom. D. C. O Keilly. who has been in the Ka.it for several weeks, missed the session by several hours, as he was a passenger aboard a delayed train. Captain Peas was railed to Astoria to pilot the Ori ental liner Orterle upstream, so was numbered with the absentees. Flaaaetal Report Read. General Manager Talbot's report for Pet-ember placed the receipts at 117. 75C.3&. with the total Items audited and paid in Iecember reaching 127.859.32. I'nder a separate head was given the drydock receipts of $$449.60. which In cluded 1000 transferred from the gen eral fund. A summary of the several funds showed a cash balance Decem ber 31 of $177,501.31. Further consideration was given a claim for damages fllrd by F. Daniels, a fisherman whose 1m inch was run down near Tonirue Point In August by the tug Oneonta. which was towing the German bark I!. Hack f el J to As toria, and It was voted to allow Dan iels recompense for actual harm done his craft. He filed a claim of $340, but as that Included an estimate for fish he might have caught while his launch was out of commission. It was decided not to reimburse hlra for the full amount. General Manager Tal bot was authorized to ect a settle ment. In the matter of the claim of C. A. Lowry, who allege thnt he was Injured while employed as a laborer In the pub lic drydock blacksmith shop, for which he asks $1000. the Commission was advised by Its counsel that the amount was far beyond a reasonable compen sation and It was sugsrvted that a compromise be soucht. Iwry recites that h has lost th use of one arm because of the Injury, but there la no record at the dry deck of him having been hurt and he entered no complaint at the time. Oredglas; Asked. Representatives of North Alblna property-owners souaht aid from the Commission In the dredging of Wil lamette Slough, so that an outlet might be provided for a sewer. It was said that the line could not be car ried Into Oregon Slough without dropping a distance of from B0 to 0 feet to submerge the outfall pipe, and that Willamette Slough was decided on as the best outlet. The Commis sion was In doubt as to Its Jurisdiction In that district, but assured the com mitteemen that If dredging could be legally done It would be ordered at the first opportunity. General Mana ger Talbot will view the site of the proposed channel and confer with at turners to accrtaln 1f the Jurisdic tion of the Commission embrace the mouth nf the slouch. Considerable discussion was indulged In regarding the salvage claim that would be riled on the schooner William Nottingham, which was towed from the sea to Astoria after abandonment by her crew, and the commissioners fixed $?O0) as the sum that would be accepted if a settlement was made out of court. The GloSe Navigation Com pany, owning the Nottincham. will be expected to reach a settlement with the crew of the tug that brought her In. who are understood to be asking $2000 for their share. A bill was presented from owners of the American ship Reuc which -skidded" when being lifted on the public drydock recently and sustained damage, but It was for $40j6.9j. and the Commission was of the opinion that half of the turn would be an equitable settlement. BROADWAY PICKS NKAK DOX'F Sell irr -r 1 1 c to Y It nr Pi n a 1 . .. on foundation. H. K. Seltier. engineer of construc tion of the I'nton Bridge A Construc ts Company, arrived In Portland yesterday from Kansas City, head quarters of the corporation, to re main until work Is completed on the foundations of the Broadway bridge. By tomorrow the Jast touches will be added to the stone piers In the river, when the coping is completed, and that will terminate the contract with the city. The contractors expect to be engaged for a week or ten days clean ing up about the approaches and in as sembling their gear, but If the steel was on the ground not the slightest obstruction would be in the way of Its erection. Mr. Seiner came to Portland when a start was made by the interests he rep resents on the new Harrlmaa bridge and remained In personal charge of that undertaking until the foundations were accepted. Then the Broadway piers were begun and he directed de tails until that .work was well under way. He has made two or three trips West since. Tom Alexander has been the engineer In charge.

Harbormaster Speler yesterday made a hasty trip to Columbia dock No. 1 on the strength of a report that It had been damaged by the freshet, but the structure proved to be intact.

LABOR TO HOLD ALOOF Gompers Vrg Cnlons to Give Sup port lo Accused Jury-Drawing Likely to Be Tedious and Hearing May Last Long. Prnnecution of LouU J. Wilde on a criminal charge al!clnor the larceny by embzxlement of J90.G00 of the funds of the Orfgon Trust & S.tvln(ti Bank will be called In the State Circuit court at 1 o'clock this afternoon. The trial will be conducted before Circuit Judpe Karanaugh. who has been asulsned to the case by Presiding Judge Uatens. Both the state and the dnfrn.-e nave been prepared for the trial for the past week. Selection of a Jury will be taken up promptly at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Neither side will venture a guess as to the time that will be re quired for the trial of the case. How ever, It is not probable. In view of the publicity the case has received, that a jury of 12 men can be procured in less than three days. Introduction of testi mony and the usual arguments un doubtedly will consume at least 10 days and probably two weeks. It Is hardly likely that the case will go to the jury In less than three weeks. Charles E. Sumner, of San Diego, of counsel for the defense, has been in disposed for the past week but expects today to be in court with his associ ates, Dan j; Malurkey and Jay Bower man, who will defend ilr. Wilde. The prosecution will he in the hands of Dis trict Attorney Cameron, Assistant Dis trict Attorney Kltzgerald and A. E. Clark, who Is employed as special prosecutor. Ibor otral lo Case. Although organized labor of this cltr feels kindly toward Mr. Wilde by rea son of bis recognition and indorsement of the principles of trades unionism. It has voted to remain entirely neutral In the trial of his case. Acting on the suggestions In a letter from Wilde. Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, In De cember wrote the Central Iahor Coun cil, of this city, through A. W. J,aw rence. secretary of that organization, urging labor to give Wilde its moral support. Similar action by the Central I.jtbor Council wan urged by c. H. Frown, president of the Federated Trades and Labor Council of San Diego, In a personal letter to Will II. Daly, president of the Oregon State Federa tion of Labor, and also president of the Central Labor Council, of this city. Both of these communications were considered by the executive committee of the council and its recommendation that they be postponed Indefinitely was agreed to unanimously by the council. Gompera Vrcea Support. In his letter to Gompers Wilde re ferred to his constant friendliness to the unions and organized labor, as ex emplified by his extensive building operations In San Diego, and sug gested that a tetter from Gompers to the Central Labor Council In Port land requesting Its members to give Wilde their moral support would do much to "overshadow prejudice and an lnlamed community brought about by a corrupt District Attorney's office." Complying with the request of Wilde. Mr. Gompers made the appeal to the central body of organized labor here. The following excerpt Is taken from Mr. Gompers' letter: ' "I trust. In view of Mr. Wilde's well-known attitude toward organized labor and his sympathy with the alms and purposes of our movement and all movements of an uplift character, that your central body will give him Its sympathetic support and co-operation in any way within your power." LINE TO ALASKA 15 PROGRESSIVE BCSIXESS MEN'S CLUB BEGINS CAMPAIGN. Biff Slii pawner to Establish Service If 200 Tons of Frelcht Is Guar, anteed at Each End. If plans of the Progressive Business Men's Club are carried out, a pas senger and freight steamship line will be established between Portland and Alaska and a vigorous campaign will be started to divert a large share of the northern business to this city. Tentative plans for the campaign were made yesterday at a meeting of the club held at the Portland Hotel at which K. H. Dodge, a large shipowner of San Francisco, expressed his will ingness to establish the line to Alaska provided the business men at each end will guarantee 200 tons of freight for every trip of the steamer which will be specially fitted up for the servloe. Mr. Dodge appeared before the meet ing yesterday and expressed confidence In the plan being a good one for the business Interests of the city and said there should be no trouble in obtain ing a great deal of business for the city. He suggested that 0 business houses combine In raising money to send five salesmen to Alaska to wage a campaign there. The club appointed a committee comprising G. F. Johnson. Phil 8. Bates, C. & Jackson, C. C Chapman and James F. Kinder to In vestigate the trade opportunities and to Induce 50 business houses to finance sending of trade delegates. The com mittee will start work at once. "The Alaskan trade is waiting for Portland." said Mr. Dodge, "and Port land must go after it. It has com to be an Important factor. Of course a steamship company cannot establish a line and maintain service unless it has the support of the business men and that Is why I make this proposal to the club. All we want Is an ex pression of confidence and a promise of support. "I have had enough business dealings with Alaskan people to know that they will give their trade to Portland as readily as they will to Seattle. As to the rates. I believe the 4000 miles of run by witr can be covered as cheap ly as the Z400 miles by rail. The ports are open for vessels nearly the entire year. For the passenger service I be lieve excursions can be run from Port land as successfully as from Seattle." Frank W. Swanton, president of the Alaska Club spoke at the meeting about the value of the Northern trade. "It is growing every year." said Mr. Swanton. "and Portland cannot afford to sit idly by and see other cities taking the trade. Alaska's imports in 1880 were 1325.000 and In 1910 they were $20,000,000. This gives an idea of the trade and the Importance of Port land getting a foothold wht!e there Is a good chance. "There are 100.000 square miles of agricultural land In Alaska which Is going to add to the exports continually. In 1880 the exports were 150,000 and In 110 they were 112.600.000." Mr. Swanton will be Portland's dele gate to present Alaska's claim to Con gress January 20. D. O. Lively was appointed chair man of a committee to urge the custo dians of the old Liberty Bell to bring It through Portland when It Is taken from Philadelphia to the San Fran cisco fair.
