THE 3IORXIXG OREGOISTIAX. THURSDAY, MARCH 3, 1914. L COMMISSION'S REPORT IS ISSUED Regulation of Public Utilities Increases Duty 274 Per Cent in One Year. INTERESTING FACTS GIVEN tffcct of New Law Shown for First Time Feature of Annual Review of Body's Achievements. Progress Is Keynote. SALEM, Or., JIarch 4. (Special.) Regulation of public utilities, together with steady growth of railroad bust ness. has increased the work of the Railroad Commission of Oregon Just 274 per cent in one year, measured by the volume of formal complaints han dled. This is one of the features dis closed by the annual report of the Commission for the year ending De cember 15, 1913, which has just been made public. Chairman Frank J. Miller and hi colleagues, Thomas K. Campbell and Clyde B. Alchison, in telling the story of the year's work, have naturally cov ered a much broader field than usual, and the report is especially interesting in its explanation of the progress made in the new duties assigned by the pub- . lie utilities act. The net operating revenue of all of till- I (1 M I uiiun UL IJ1C SLUIC A I I LUC jcai ended June 30, 1913, was 8. 632.743.82. the report shows, a gain of S686.156.25 over the figures for the previous year.J Total operating revenue or an roads on state busineess was $14,865,885.53 of which $5,160,464.78 came from -trot erht tft 777 Q9R Sfi frnm rn cspn rprs $380,626.44 from other passenger train revenue, $235,429.75 from other trans portation services and $311,438 from sources other than transportation. Total Revenue (29,463,042. Oregon's proportion of interstate rail- road revenue is almost equal to the state revenue, being $14,597,156.56, mak ing the total rail revenue $29,463,042.09. "The operating expense assigned to Ore gon amounts to $19,261,509.90, leaving a. net operating revenue for the railroad balance sheets of $10,201,532.19. As the taxes totaled $1,568,788.37, the clear net return stands at $8,632,743.82. The total railroad mileage operated in the state is given as 3278, of which 426 is electric road mileage. Increase in mileage in the state in the line owned is 64 miles, and 47 additional miles are shown to have been placed in operation. The electric roads show well in revenues in proportion to their i 1 r .

Reviewing the great amount of work required to properly classify the util ities of. the state, 1913 being the first year that electric, gas, water, tele phone and street railway companies have been under regulation by the state, the report proceeds to discuss the principles applied to the making of rates. It is stated that 226 utility compa nies have been listed under the Juris diction of the Commission and consider able progress made in the valuation of several of the larger utilities, this be- incr Tip.ceSRflrv hpfnrn rfltAa u rtx fivoil The report brings the narrative work performed down to December 15, 1913, be nearing completion are those of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Com pany, Coos Bay Water Company, St. Johns Water Works & Lighting Com pany, of Grants Pass; Home Telephone & Telegraph Company of Southern Ore- Bon ana ine oaiem, water, iignt et Power Company. Water plant valuation is under way at Dallas, also valuation of the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Company's plant at Oregon City, and it Is stated that substantial reductions have been secured in, light and power rates, without necessity for formal pro ceedings, in Dallas, Monmouth, Inde pendence, Junction City, Corvallis and other towns of the Willamette Valley. AVork Shows Expansion. Concerning the business handled by the Commission during the year, the report says: "Listing of the comDlaints filed shows 352 informal railroad complaints, compared with 301 filed In 1912. The number of formal railroad matters filed was 59, compared with 47 the previous year. In the utilities branch, 183 in formal complaints and 70 formal mat ters were docketed. The increase in total number of formal complaints, which in most cases have necessitated hearings, from 47 in 1912 to -129 in 1913, or 274 per cent, indicates in a degree the expansion of the Commis sion's work." Disposition made of these complaints is reported in detail, and the distinction between formal and informal procedure explained, the former being matters in which hearings are required to thresh out questions of rates or service, the in formal being taken up for adjustment " ' 1 ' liii. imi. ii i jl I in; fl ttill. Of the informal matters, 251 out of 370 of those relating to railroads were sat isfactorily settled, 27 are pending, 22 were dropped because of lack of Juris diction. Of the utility matters handled In like manner, 90 out of 153 are re ported settled, 10 transferred, five pending and 35 dropped because plaint iffs did- not wish to go further. Dansrer Kllmlnatlon Factor. Prominence is given to efforts by the Commission to reduce the number of perilous crossings of railroads and highways. It is declared that many dangerous conditions can be eliminated with the co-operation of County Courts end railroads themselves. That the Commission largely de creases the work of the courts by hand ling matters which otherwise would develop into lawsuits is one of the points advanced. Orders were made during the year for refunding $4423 to shippers because of overcharges or of special circum stances appearing to justify repara tion. "Valuation of the physical property f the Portland Railway, Light Ai Power Company," says the report, "is the largest single task ever undertaken by the Commission. The rates charged and service rendered by this company directly affect not less than one-third of the people of the state and it is only by a comprehensive Investigation that "the numerous complaints arising in connection with the rates and services of this company can be placed on a basis for equitable and satisfactory adjustment. The Commission's ex perts have been employed upon this natter so far as their other work would permit and outside experts have been specially engaged in order that the investigation might be advanced as rapidly as possible and also because of the advantage accruing from consulta tion and counter-check in a work of this magnitude.

There is no getting away from the evidence given by every budding tree, bush and shrub. One of these signs of Spring time is to.beseen in the yard of Mrs. H. W. Corbett. in Fifth street, between Salmon and Taylor. An almond tree that has become almost a landmark In the many years it has stood in the yard of this pioneer residence, is In full bloom. It is a mass of pink blossoms. "The tree is getting on in years and looks somewhat scraggly," said Mrs. Corbett last night, "but it is always one of the first trees in the city to bloom, and it blooms -profusely. It is now between. 35 and 40 years old." PLAGUE DANGER IS TOLD FIGHT OVER CITY'S RIGHT TO COX- DEMX BtlLDIXGS OPENS. First of Several Salts on Trial Before Judge Harris and Range of Testimony, Wide. "Portland and other Coast cities are on a volcano, and being so situated may be visited by bubonic plague," said Dr. Charles A. Ballard, chief of the sani tary bureau, yesterday during his tes timony in the suit being heard before Judge Harris to restrain the city from compelling M. E. Arbuckle. H. E. Kay and S. A. Ray to remove buildings which have been pronounced unsafe and unsanitary. 'If the plague should visit Port land such places as the property at Third and Yamhill streets and 205 and 207 Front street would become breeding places," he declared. The property involved in the suit has been condemned and the owners have brought suit against the city to save the buildings. Miss R. L. Ray called yesterday as a witness for the plain tiffs, testified that the two buildings on Front street were considered old 29 years ago. None of the witnesses knew the date the buildings were erected. but several contractors testified that they had examined the premises and repaired them and did not believe they were a- menace to the health of the community or a danger. J. G. Daniels, proprietor of the La Grande Creamery, located in the con demned building at Third and Yamhill streets, testified that he keeps the place as clean as possible. George W. Gordon and J. A. Melton testified that they did not beljeve the buildings were depre ciated 40 per cent. Fire Chief Dowell, R.' E. Kremers, deputy building inspector, H. P. Board- man, assistant tire marshal, and Mrs. Sarnh A. Evans, city market inspector, testified that the buildings were unsafe or unsanitary. I believe the buildings are depreci ated 75 per cent, though it is necessary that they be depreciated only 40 per cent to be ordered removed," said Fire Marshal Boardman. Tho testimony will be concluded this morning. Before making hij decision Judge Harris will inspect the buildings. The Arbuckle case is the first of sev eral similar cases, so the result will have, considerable weight. SALEM WOMAN CANDIDATE Mrs. Mildred Robertson Brooks Would Be Marion Recorder. SALEM, Or..

NEWPORT GARBAGE ISSUE What to Do With It Baffles Town and Committee AV111 Decide. NEWPORT, Or., March 4. (Special.) Garbage disposal has become more than a burning question in Newport, and until the town Council can find some place to dispose of garbage the garbage ordinance will he suspended. At the Council meeting Tuesday night it developed that there was no place other than someone's else lot to dump or bury the refuse and the city ordinances forbid burying it within the city limits. A committee has been named to find a place. Chief of Police Satterlee re ported that under existing conditions or until a dumping ground was au thorized, enforcement of the laws would be impossible. SECOND LAW EDITION NEED State Printer Soon to Have Copies for Distribution. SALEM. Or., March 4. (Special.) For the first time in the history of the state it has been found necessary to publish second editions of session laws. State Printer Harris said today that 600 new. copies of the 1911 laws and 800 copies of the 1913 laws would soon be ready for distribution. Second editions were necessary be cause the law provides . that only 24 00 copies shall be printed as first editions, and these have been exhausted. The next Legislature will be asked to amend the law so more copies may be printed at the first run. The increased demand is the result of the rapid growth of the state. FRANCHISE GRANTED ROAD Portland & West Coast Company's Bond Approved by Newport. NEWPORT. Or., March 4. (Special.)

France has five physicians to each 10,000 or population. , DOCK IN USE SOON Public Wharf No. 1 to Receive Freight First of Month. ELECTRICITY TO BE POWER Commission Authorizes Call for Five Winches Open Platform for Unloading: Structural Steel Being Considered. Cargo yis to be received on Public Dock No. 1 April 1. The contractors have about ten days' work remaining on the first unit, o.,.d while the instal lation of dock wlncnes will be delayed, vessels jCan discharge with the aid of their own gear in connection with the cargo hoists on the front of the dock. At a special session of the Commis sion of Public Docks yesterday, G. B. Kegardt, chief engineer, was empow ered to advertise for figures on five electric dock winches of 30-horse-power each. After a contract is let delivery can be made in about 45 days. Ordering winches was deferred be cause it was not until yesterday that the Commission decided to contract for electric lights and energy. An award was made to the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company on a flat rate of 2y cents a kilowat hour. In that connection the Commission decided to install a rotary transformer for con verting alternating current to a direct current for operating the dock winches. The Commission instructed Mr. He- gardt to arrange for the purchase of fir brush for rip-rapping . in the rear of the new dock, where the Port of Fortland shortly will begin filling with about 80.009 yards of material dredged from the river. Lumber was also ar ranged for with which to construct i spillway. As the bid of the Reliance Construc tion Company for planking the upper roadway to the dock provided' only for labor, and the cost of material was not Included, the work was awarded to Bufton & Jeffries, on a bid of $976. A contract was executed with the Montague-O'Reilly Company for paving the lower roadway with Belgian blocks. A. C U. Berry presented a contract in tho afternoon under which he will clear the site and build the second unit of the dock. After being referred to City Attorney LaRoche, it will be exe cuted by the Commission. Bids for the construction of the East Side dock will be opened March 19. A communication from the United States Steel Products Company was read. In which the need of an open dock for handling structural steel and heavy hardware was pointed out. The Commission has under consideration a plan for building such a wharf on the site of the city levee, at the foot of Jefferson street. Resolutions were adopted by the commission commending the men who labored for the establishment of an Alaskan steamship line. Harbor authorities at Seattle for warded a copy of their dock tariff and regulations, and asked for a copy of that, being framed by the Commission here. CAPTAIX PAUIiSEX FIXED $100 Commander of Yucatan Navigated Without Pilot's License. Not having a pilot aboard when he undertook to shift the steamer Yucatan from the Globe elevator through the Broadway bridge Tuesday, and the fact he lacked a license permitting him to navigate in the Willamette River or in fact on the Columbia above Astoria, cost Captain A. C. Paulsen $100 yester day, the fine being imposed by Collec tor of Customs Burke. The action re sulted from the Yucatan having col lided with the cruiser Boston Tuesday, inflicting damage estimated at $3000 and injuring the Yucatan as well. United States Inspectors Edwards and Fuller permitted the Yucatan to proceed to San Francisco with tempor ary repairs to her damaged ports and plates on the understanding that the work would be done on reaching the Golden Gate. Captain Paulsen filed an official ' report with the inspectors in which he set forth 'that delay In open ing the Broadway bridge in response to his signal was responsible for the accident. He is expected to appeal from the decision of Collector Burke. KATE TO CANAL IS LOWERED Pacific Mail Announces Big Reduc tion on Cabin Accommodations. Cabin passenger rates on Pacific Mail liners from San Francisco to the Pan ama Canal have been cut from $216 to $150 for the round trip, effective with the sailing of the steamer Newport, sailing March 21, say advices received here. Stops are made at Mexican and Central American ports. Portlanders contemplating a journey to the big ditch so as to be on hand with the formal opening in July will take advantage of the reduction and the journey can be made from here by water at a cost of from $10 to $15 additional each way. It is predicted that there will be further -reductions before the canal is in operation long. Probably through rates will be made applicable from Portland on Indepen dent vessels. MESSINA LOADING RAPIDLY Oriental Liners" Will Take Lumber Shipments This Week. Loading 800,000 feet of lumber at In-man-Poulsen's mill was what the tramp Messina accomplished Monday and Tuesday and as there is no reason to anticipate a delay in her dispatch, she will probably continue the speed until loaded. The Royal Mail liner Glenroy hauled down from Irving dock to the Clark & Wilson mill yesterday to take on over 1,500.000 feet for the Orient. More will go aboard the Hamburg-American lin er Belgravia. which shifted last night from the Crown mill to the Portland flour mill. With the lumber cargo of the St. Theodore and others that will be cleared this month March exports in that column will outshine those of February by a wide margin. CHANGES MADE IN ORDINANCE Oregon City Council Alters Act Cre ating Water Committee. OREGON CITY, Or.. March 4. (Spe cial.) Five changes were made in the ordinance creating a water committee to superintend the construction of the pipeline from the south fork of the Clackama3 to Oregon City, when the measure was brought before the City Council Tuesday. The ordinance was drawn up by a firm of Portland attorneys upon sug gestions which were made by the City Council. The measure will be taken to Portland Wednesday and returned to the lawyers there, who will make the changes as suggested by the Coun cil. As soon as this is done the pro posed measure will be sent to a firm of consulting attorneys In Boston, who will pass upon the legality of the measure. It is expected by the local authorities that they will hear the ver dict of the Boston firm within about ten days. In the meantime the City Council plans to pass an ordinance which will allow that body to call a special gen eral city election within a period of 21 days. BCILDIXG BRIDGE. ATTACKED Suit Filed to Enjoin Clarke County From Construsting Span. VANCOUVER, Wash., March 4. (Special.) A suit to enjoin Clarke County and William S. Lindsey, S. N. Secrist and A. Rawson from building the interstate bridge between Van couver and Portland, spanning the Co lumbia River, was filed In the Superior Court today by E. M. Rands, ex-Senator from Clarke County. His attorney is Donald McMaster, recently Judge of the Superior Court of Clarke County. The suit is a friendly one. and it is hoped to have it hurried through In less than three weeks, so that there can be no question concerning the va lidity of the bond issue of $500,000. In his complaint Mr. Rands alleges PRESIDENT OF GERMAN AID FELLOW MEMBERS PRESENTED TO HIM LAST NIGHT. As a token of love and appreciation for one of their number who has served as president of their organization for more than 20 years, members of the General German Aid Society last night presented to John Reisacher a handsome gold and silver loving cup, appropriately inscribed to commem orate the event. The presentation came as a complete surprise to Mr. Reisacher. Charles J. Schnabel, as vice-president of the society, made the speech of presentation. Mr. Reisacher has served through a period that has brought much prosperity to the organization. He is- nearly 7 8 years of age, but is one of the most active members of the society. that everything concerning the elec tion, bond Issue and building of tbe bridge is illegal. Marine Notes. Consignments aboard the steamer Yellowstone, operated by the Arrow Line, were cleared for San Francisco yesterday, including 600 sacks of po tatoes, 500 sacks of rice, 10 bales of auto tires and 550 tons of wheat. F. G. Whiting, general Western man ager or the Cunard bteumship Line, headquarters at Chicago, is in the city on a tour of the Coast to gather in formation bearing on transatlantic pas senger business from Portland, possi bilities of development with the open ing of the canal and the coastwise commerce and passenger movement. He goes to Puget Sound from here. Preparatory to being loaded for Alaska canneries the salmon ship St. Nicholas, operated by the Columbia River Packers' Association, will be lifted on the Oregon drydock March 10. The ships St. Francis, J. B. Flint and Levi G. Burgess will also be dry docked before sailing north in April. At a rate of 46s 3d, W. R. Grace & Company have chartered a vessel to load at a North Pacific port for the West Coast, her name not being an nounced. More oranges are reported to have left San Pedro yesterday on the steamer Beaver, which is due here Sunday. The company has equipped the vessels with windsails or temporary canvass ven tilators, leading into holds where the circulation from' the ordinary ventila tors is not sufficient, so the fruit can be carried under even temperature. Should that scheme not prove entirely satisfactory electric fans will probably be Introduced. News From Oregon Ports. ASTORIA, Or March 4. (Special.) A dense fog, which enveloped the river and lower harbor last night and the greater portion of today, prevented the schooners Caroline and Wm. F. Jewett and the French bark Charapigny from being towed to sea. It even delayed the departure of the steamers V m. F. Herrin and Breakwater from crossing out until this afternoon. This evening the atmosphere has cleared and the delayed windjammers will probably get to sea tomorrow. COOS BAY, Or. March 4. (Special.) Arriving this morning from San Francisco, the steam schooner Adeline Smith is loading a cargo of lumber at me smitn jviiu.

Liy order of the Bureac of T.igiitliouB. - Ut.NBY U JBECK, Inspector, WEATHER AT SEA IS BAD THEODORE BUCKS SXOW AND GALES FROM OTARU. Notable First Officer Splcer, of Locnst Knel Tale Fame, Not With Captain Shllne This Trip. One mischievous countenance was lacking aboard the British tramp St. Theodore on her arrival late Tuesday night, for while Captain C. J. Shllne was aboard he had not as his second in command First Officer Splcer, who was with him three years ago on the occasion of the visits here of the St. Ronald. For that Captain Shline apolo gized. "Splcer could tell of things he saw at sea better than I can, and there was some truth in them," remarked the skipper. Spicer made a reputation when here in the St. Ronald in telling how the ship was boarded by a swarm of locusts on the way from Europe and SOCIETY AND LOVING CUP WHICH Mlliiil that the insects on deck were shoveled below and used as fuel. The St. Theodore is here on the first of three voyages ior the China Import & Export Lumber Company, and brought 3000 oak logs from Otaru. She loads for Shanghai with fir. There were three features of the voy age from Otaru, says Captain Shline, one being that snow fell heavily from the time of leaving Otaru until three days off the mouth of the Columbia, the second being a series of four gales that continued for about 30 hours, and the third that the barometer at one time went down to 27.80, the lowest Captain Shline says he has seen in 30 years at sea. "There was 10 to 14 feet of snow in the streets of Otaru and paths had been cut through for sleds, while Icicles hung from houses so they could be reached from the streets," he said. "We had such heavy snow crossing to the Coast that at times on the lee side it was level with the bulwarks. The gales came from the northeast to the west, and during them the vessel, though comparatively light, was continually awash." The St. Theodore was 18 days mak ing her way over. She is nine months old and was given the reputation yes terday of being the most modern and best equipped of vessels yet sent here for lumber. She has a length of 419 feet, beam of 52 feet and depth of hold of 27.10 feet. Her deadweight capacity Is 8175 tons. MARINE INTELLIGENCE. Steamer Schedule. DUE TO ARRIVE. Name. From Date.
