NEED OF REST, DIES
Sudden Death on Ranch Comes
Following Talk With Son
of Insomnia.
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.

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

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.
NEWPORT TO HAVE RECTOR
Episcopal Archdeacon Promises
Supply Pastor Fortnightly.

NEWPORT, Or., March 20. (Special.)
Archdeacon H. D. Chambers, of the
Portland Episcopal diocese, who came
here accompanied by Rev. J. D. Cum
mins, vicar of Albany, addressed the
congregation of the Newport Episcopal
Church on the reorganization of the

Lenten service. .
Dr. Chambers agreed to supply a

as well, by Fall, he said that a regular
rector would be appointed at that time.
Mr. Cummins will take charge of the
Newport services at once.

North Bank dock at 6 o'clock last
night and watched the big carrier en

terminus of the Royal Mall route and
ending a voyage that began at Ant

The Cardiganshire is typical or tne
most recent in maritime architecture,
which has gradually advanced until a
design has been accepted by the larg
est companies of a vessel tnat will
fill the demands of the general Pa
cific trade, as well as comply with the
conditions and requirements of the
Panama Canal.
The Cardiganshire is a combined
freight and passenger carrier, though
as yet only 12 cabin staterooms have
been equipped, while provision was
made In the 'tween decks for addi

Captain Archie Pease, who piloted
the Cardiganshire from Astoria, says
that with all that has been said rela

the largest yet to enter the harbor.
he did not once back her, and only
slowed down at a few places, where
there was danger of Injuring vessels
and property because of the amount
of water she displaced.
"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

"There are seven others to follow the
Cardiganshire, all of the same general '
type, but of course some may have
later improvementn in the way of
equipment," said Mr. Waterhouse.
Coat Is 150,000.
"I hope that residents of Portland
will appreciate what the coming of
the Cardiganshire means in the way
of maritime development and that the
company dispatched her to this Coast
at a time when oriental cargo move
ments were dull and that there may
not be an opportunltj' to load to her
capacity a vessel that represents &

BIDS ASKED ON THE GLENROY
Bulky Specifications Cover Repairs
and New Equipment.
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.
An investigation will probably be or
dered.
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.

REQUISITION FUND USED
GOVERNOR SAVS COUNTIES MIST
PAY TO GET BACK FUGITIVES.
Mr. West Asserts Attorney-General Is
Nosing; Around to Indict II I in, and
He Will Take No Chasers.
SALEM, Or.. Marcli 23. (Special.)
Governor West, in a written statement
today, announced that, inasmuch as the
appropriation for the arrest and return
to the state of fugitives from justice
had been exhausted, it would be neces
sary for all requests from District At
torneys for requisitions for fugitives
to be accompanied by guarantees from
the County Courts of the payment of
all expenses. The Governor said that
otherwise he would not issue any more
requisitions. His statement continues:
"Under the deficiency law passed at
the last session of the Legislature, It is
made a misdemeanor to incur indebt
edness after the exhaustion of an ap
propriation. In view of this fact and
the fact that Attorney-General Craw
ford ha3 been nostrrg TSTOund to find
some deficiency xlafm-trfeorred by this
office In order that he might place it
in the hands of a certain unfriendly
prosecuting attorney in this state, and
with the hope of having me Indicted, I
do not propose to take any chances in
this matter."
The appropriation was I&S00. All
bills for the return of fugitives are ap
proved by the district attorneys before
vouchers are Issued by the Secretary
of State.
Nearly 700,000,000 pounds of olive oil were

Much of this oil goes to Italy to be re-exported
