RAILROADS LOSE PIONEER As Boy of 13 He Learns Telegraphy and Goes to Work for Milwaukee Itoad, Rising Rapidly to Po sition of Prominence. Henry S. Howe, pioneer Oregon Tail froad man and Mayor of Portland from 1900 to 1902, died yesterday morning of heart failure at his ranch on the lower end of Sauvie"s Island, near St. Helens. His death was altogether unexpected, as ha had been in fairly eood health. He went to the ranch Wednesday and told his son, Donald, "before he went that he had not slept well the night before and that he thought a few days' rest in- the country ' would benefit him. Donald Rowa and John Harrington went to the ranch yesterday and will return to Portland today with the body. Funeral arrangements will be made to day. Mr. Rowe was born In Bolivar, Alle rhany County, New York, October 11 1851. "When a child he moved with his parents to Palmyra, Wis., where he re- ceived a public school education. "While yet a boy he learned telegraphy, and when he was 13 years old he went to wprk there for the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad. Uolng to uw rence, Kan., in 1S70, he was engaged as clerk in the freight-house of the Leav enworth, Lawrence & Galveston Rail road, now the Santa Fe. Promotion Come Rapidly. After a year he was made terminal agent, his duties including opening all the offices in the frontier districts and the starting of the new towns that sprung up along the line of the road. From that position he was promoted to be general agent for the Fort Scott & Gulf and the Leavenworth, Lawrence & Galveston railroads at Kansas City, re maining there until 1880. While a tele graph operator he worked with A. J. Barling, now president of the Milwau kee system, and they always remained intimate friends. On the purchase in 1S80 of the un completed railroad extending into Ore son, Mr. Rowe came to Portland, and was at once retained by the Oregon Railroad & Navigation Company. For a time he acted as the company's Fteamer agent. On the starting of the company's train service in 1882 he was made general superintendent, which position he held until the road was leased by the Union Pacific in 1887. when he retired from railroading for the time being. An enterprise which had already en gaged a portion of Mr. Rowe's atten tion was the Weed & Rowe Hardware Company, which had stores at Elms burg and Yakima, Wash. Selling out the store in Yakima in 1889 he be ame president of the Yakima National Bank. Alblna Bank Organized. In 1892 he organized the Albina Sav ings Bank in Portland. He was presi dent of the concern, but in 1893 he sold his interest in it in order to give his time to real estate enterprises. Mr, Rowe returned to the railroad business in 1902, when he became gen eral agent for the Northwestern Pa cific Coast for the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, with which road he was connected until about two years ago, when he resigned to devote himself exclusively to his real estate interests. Mr. Rowe was a Republican in poli tics and was prominent in the .local activities of the party. He was elected Mayor of Portland in 1900 and served his term with credit, his policy of econ omy being one of the strong features of his administration. For several years he was president of the Portland Board of Fire Commissioners, .and was a member of the Water Board during the development of the municipal water system. Mr. Rowe was a member of Portland Masonic Lodge, No. 55. lie was also a member of the Elks, the Woodmen of the World and the Modern Woodmen of America. He was a member and prominent in the councils of the Port land Commercial Club and Portland Chamber of Commerce. He is survived by Mrs. Rowe, who wos Miss Agnes H. Hefly, and to whom he was married in Independence, Kan., in his younger railroading days. There are two sons, David, an employe of the local firm of Waddell & Harrington, and Harry, who is in the employe of the Milwaukie railroad at Seattle. The Rowe home is at 380 East Fourteenth' street. North. POLK OFFICES SOUGHT TWO REPUBLICANS FILE FOR THE TREASURERSHIP. . Robert A. Booth Reported to Be De veloping Strength and Likely to Carry Connty With Ease. DALLAS, Or, March 20. (Special.) F. J. Holman, of Black Rock, for sev eral years postmaster at that place, and Charles Dunsmore, of Independ ence, for many years active as a clergy, man, but more recently identified with the Good Roads movement and the Commercial Club life of Independence, and both Republicans, filed their peti tions for the Republican nomination for the office of County Treasurer. Hugh Black, Democrat, whose friends have been urging him to make the race for County Treasurer, has announced his intention of remaining out of the fight. As yet no Democrat has filed for the nomination for the office of joint Rep resentative for the counties of Lincoln and Polk, and S. J. Irvin. of Newport, Republican candidate, has an open field. Until yesterday indications were that Thomas Brunk, candidate for the Democratic nomination for Representa tive from Polk County would have no opposition, but L. D. Butler, an attor ney of Independence, was In Dallas yesterday and announced that he in tended entering the primaries against Mr. Brunk. For the Republican nom ination for this office, no one has filed s yet, but It Is said that Walter L Tooze, an attorney of Dallas, will file within a few days. It is not believed that the Prohibi tion party will have a county ticket this year. -Robert A. Booth, candidate for the Republican nomination for United states Senator, is growing stronger in this section every day. It is conceded here among both Republican and Dem ocratic leaders that Mr. Booth is likely to carry Polk County by a large majority. EX-MAYOR OF PORTLAND, WHO DIED SUDDENLY YESTER DAY jaoRNiNG- rtf'7i - - - w.AssfCSSv", H. S. I F Commercial Paper as. Defined in Federal Law Deemed Sufficiently Generous. ACTION EXPECTED APRIL 1 Eastern Financial Paper, Considered Authority, Puts This City on List as One of 12 Reserve Cen ters to Be Formed. Commercial paper," as defined by the new Federal currency law, covers so broad a scope of banking activity that the Portland Clearing-House has decided that it is not necessary to pre scribe further what shall be included under thut elastic term. The description of commercial paper in the Federal law is so general, the Portland bankers think, that it will Include all classes of paper that the banks of this territory will be called pon to handle. Any spiclfio request that the term "commercial paper" should be made to Include lumber paper fish paper or grain paper or any other kind of paper r ecullar to this part of the country would be superflu ous and a mere waste of words, in their opinion. The law covers the ground so thor oughly," says A. L. Mills, president of the First National Bank and president of the Clearing-House, "that It is not necessary for us to tell the Federal Reserve Board what kind of paper we want to have available for rediscount ing." . When Secretary McAdoo and Secre tary Houston were in Portland con ducting a hearing preliminary to the organization of the new banking sys tem they asked the Portland Clearlng House to specify the kind of paper that It would be desirable to have subject to discount. Members of the Clearing House considered the subject and con cluded that any definition further than that already contained in the bill would be unnecessary. Jio Change Expected. Neither have the Portland bankers taken any action with reference to one name and two-name paper. They are confident that under the new law the practice in this particular will continue as at present. While the ultra-conservative bankers of the East are asking that all paper discounted under the new system shall bea rtwo names, many Portland bank ers are of the opinion that this will be unnecessary. Vhey point out that the man to whom, the banks are willing to loan without any indorsement produces a higher grade of paper than the man whose signature requires an additional name. In Seattle, however,- the banks have attempted to define more particularly what class of paper shall be accepta ble for discount and have submitted their draft of ideas to the Federal re serve board at Washington. It will be the duty of this board finally to pass upon the various Ideas suggested from all parts of the country and make a ruling on the several classes ana kinas of discountable paper. Bankers in this part of the country are hopeful that the new system will be organized and in operation in tfme to handle this year's crops. The Fed eral reserve board, it is understood, will be appointed by President Wilson on April 1 and the reserve districts will be established at the same time. Portland May Be Named. Although bankers of the Northwest seem agreed that no reserve bank will be established in this section, reports from Eastern cities indicate that or ganization of the maximum number of 13 districts, with a regional bank in Portland, is contemplated by the Fed eral authorities. A recent issue of the American Banker, which is considered among banking men as an authority on finan cial affairs, in discussing the prob able make up of the Federal reserve districts, includes Portland in its list of 12 reserve centers. It says: "The organization committee and President Wilson are agreed In expect ing that everything will be in readiness for the establishment of the new re gional reserve system on the first of April next. It is announced that the organization committee has definitely decided to divide the country into 12 . .. 1 LAND BANKERS E - 1 ROWE. districts, of which New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, St. Louis, Kan sas City, Mo., or Omaha, Minneapolis, Atlanta, New Orleans, Denver, Port land, Or., and San Francisco are to be the central reserve cities." If a bank is established in 'the Northwest it is generally conceded that It will come to Portland, as this city is the acknowledged financial and commercial center of the Northwest. If San Francisco gets the only bank on the Coast It Is almost certain that Portland will be given a branch. ROAD CHANGE IS PLANNED Protest Made Against Altering Sea side-Astoria Route. ASTORIA. Or.. March 20. (Special.) If the plans of the State Highway Commission prevail the route from As toria to Seaside will be changed mate rially along Clatsop Plains. - Recent surveys show that the Com mission contemplates building, a road to start near the railroad right of way at Columbia Beach and lead south along a low stretch of land to a point near Clatsop to a connection with the old county road. Pacific Grange, which represents all the interests on Clatsop Plains, held a meeting this afternoon to protest for mally against the change, and will so notify the State' Highway Commission. The proposed survey provides that the road shall follow along a straight line on a lake level grade, vacating the present highway for a considerable dis tance. In the change of the route, it is said, there will be no scenic advnatage, which is considered detrimental to the welfare of the Summer resorts along the Oregon coast.

"I never saw a better steering ship and she made from 134 to 14 knots on the way," said Captain Pease. Frank Waterhouse, of Frank Water house & Co.. North Pacific Coast agents for the line, who made the run from Seattle, and Captain G. E. Warner, mas ter of the steamer, arranged for a pub lic inspection to be held tomorrow.

Marine plants on the Pacific Coast are to be given an equal opportunity in bidding for repairing the Royal Mail liner Glenroy, which was damaged over a week ago in the fire that de stroyed Columbia dock No. 2 and Mont gomery dock No. 1. The last list of equipment was added to the specifica tions last evening and tney numoer ou typewritten pages. It is expected that bids will be re ceived by Wednesday, as men connected with Portland plants have gone , over the ship, Seattle firms have had repre sentatives on the ground and some at San Francisco have reports on the dam age, and, guided by the specifications, will probably make strong efforts to secure the work. Captain Holman, master of the vessel, says there is no choice of ports as to where repairs are to be done, and that the price for good work and time in which it can be com pleted are the main essentials. TCG AND LAUNCH COLLIDE Dar Is Injured AVhen 'Struck by Wenonah at Hayden Island. Cantaln G. M. Walker, master of the tug Wenonah, of the Port of Portland Fleet, filed a report with United States Inspectors Edwards and Fuller yester- dav covering a collision with tne launch Dar, having a houseboat In tow.

The skipper of the Wenonah states that he was navigating the vessel from North Portland harbor and that at the lower end of Hayden Island he saw a launch In the rear of the houseboat, ap- Darently pushing it along, and was not aware the Dar was towing ahead, so the tug and the Dar came together, the latter receiving the most damage.

PORTLAND FOR ORIENTAL AND ir'.': BRITISH SHIP TAKEN A. Carpentier Charters Inver bervie to i.oad in Europe. RATE REDUCTION EXPECTED Tramp Steamers Carry Good Loads, Getting- Business That Should Be for Regular Liners if Tariffs Were Lowered. A. Carpentier has chartered the new British steamer Inverbervie to load cargo on the European Continent for Pacific Coast ports. Portland Included, if offerings are sufficient, and she will follow the River Forth, previously an nounced as in the Carpentier service. With news of the engagement of the Inverbervie also comes information that the reported action of the Royal Mail line In eliminating the differential against Portland on cargo from Eu rope, which is from 2s 6d to 5 shil lings more than Is paid for delivery on Puget Sound, has not been followed by other regular fleets, though it Is ad mitted by steamshipmen that the cut must be made. In the operation of outside steamers by Mr. Carpentier and others there is every reason to expect a material re duction In rates. Incidentally the serv ice should bring about a more ap proachable demeanor on the part of lines running from Europe direct to the Coast, which, in the past, have con sented to send steamers here only when more cargo was offered than is re quired to attract the vessels to Puget Sound. The River Forth has a full cargo, and it is regarded certain that the Inver bervie will fare as well, while the Tymeric, which is coming from Glas gow for the McNear interests and her owners, Andrew W ier & Co., was well supplied with freight on her departure. so the regular fleets have lost three full cargoes to the Pacific Coast. The natural inference is that some conces sions have been made to shippers. In certain quarters It is believed that the tramns cannot hold out against the liners, but consignees are hopeful that the competition will continue until the canal is opened, when more opposition should be offered and a tariff made available more in keeping with trade conditions.
