16 THE SUNDAY OEEGQNIAN, PORTLAND, 'AUGUST IT, 1901'., COLUMBIA 'PHONE SOLD OHIO CAPITAlilSTS BUY LAMONT 'AND DAVIS INTERESTS. Ralph "W. Hoyt President of tke New Corapanr-Lone-Dlatance LIbc to Paget Sound. Napoleon Davis and John Lamont, presi dent and vice-president, respectively, of the Columbia Telephone Company, have disposed of tholr interest to a syndicate of capitalists from Ohio. Negotiations for the purchase of the Davls-Lamont inter ests, which have been pending for some time, were completed yesterday afternoon. The purchasers have a controlling Inter est, and Messrs. Davis and Lamont will retire from the company. All parties to the deal decline to give the purchase price. The new owners of the system are the same men that are putting In an Indepen dent telephone system In Seattle. The inten tion is to unite the two systems, and establish long-distance connection between Portland and Puget Sound points. Event ually, it is said, the system will be ex tended so as to Include all points of Importance in Washington and Oregon, but for the present the connection will be between Seattle and Puget Sound. In ad dition It is proposed to improve the Colum bia Telephone system in Portland, and an effort will be made to extend the service throughout the city. It Is expected that the competition between the Pacific States Company -and the new company will be more or less keen. The present "corporation will continue, the purchase being confined merely to the absorption of the Davis and Lamont stock. A new board of directors has been chosen, all of them being Portland business men. Ralph "V. Hoyt, cashier of the Merchants National Bank, succeeds Napoleon Davis as president of the corporation, and A. A. Dckum succeeds John Lamont as vice president. E. B. McFarland will be con tinued as one of the directors and as sec retary of the company, and the two re maining directors are Sylvester Farrell and H. C. Wortman. The principal stockholders are Charles Filius and T. I. GUlmer, of Warren, O., nnd the Wick Bros., of Youngstown, O. Mr. Filius has been In town about a week, and has been working In conjunction with Mr. Hoyt to bring about the transfer. He left last night for Seattle. CONFERENCE OF SUB-BOARDS Protest Made Agalnnt the Condition o East Eleventh Street. A meeting of the conference committee of the Sellwood, Brooklyn, James B. Ste phens, Clinton Kelly and Woodstock Sub Boards of Trade was held last night in the hall on Powell and Milwaukie streets. H. R. Nelson presided, and John Tomlln son was secretary. The election of offi cers was postponed until the next meet ing. J. J. Murphy called attention to the condition of East Eleventh street, between Division and Hawthorne avenue He said the grade In places has been changed without authority, and the street has been obstructed for many blocks, con trary to the street ordinance. A general discussion of the matter fol lowed, and It came out that the grade has been lowered In places by City En gineer Chase, against the wishes of the railway company. Mr. Murjihy said that in case of fire on that street it would be Impossible to use the fire apparatus on account of the condition of the street. A communication was ordered sent to the Fire Commissioners, and the Board of Public Works, calling attention to the condition of the thoroughfare. Two plans were submitted for better street facilities towards Sellwood. One provides for the widening of Milwaukie street to 80 feet south of Mall street to Sellwood. North from Mall street it is proposed that East Tenth and East Ninth streets shall be opened and Improved through Brooklyn and Stephens' addi tion. This system, it is eaid, would af ford greatly Improved street facilities south and relieve Milwaukie street The second plan proposes a boulevard SO feet wide connecting with Grand ave nue and following the contour of the Wil lamette River south and west of the City View Park, and terminating near the old Sellwood ferry landing. This system was strongly advocated by Professor E. D. Curtis for Its scenic beauties. J. J. Murphy, H. R. Nelson and L. H. Andrews were appointed to present the two sys tems to the sub-boards. H. R. Nelson was appointed a commit tee on Increased Council representation, to report to the five Sub-Boards of the Eighth Ward. HAS NOT CONFESSED. Jailer Mitchell Denies the Rumor About Frank SIcDnnlel. County Jailer George Mitchell, who vis ited Salem last week on his vacation, says there Is nothing In the rumor that Frank McDanlels, the murderer, has confessed. "When I was In Salem, Monday," said Mr. Mitchell, "I visited at the state peni tentiary. I was shown every courtesy by Superintendent Lee, and was permitted to see a dozen men that I knew down here. Among them I saw Frank McDanlels, George Dixon, J. L. Warren and W. W. Scott. McDanlels Is looking very thin and nervous, and I believe that the boy has something preying on his mind. "It is my opinion that the way In which the street rumor in regard to McDanlels' confession arose was this: It started soon after the announcement that James Mc Donald had confessed to the Western Lumber Company hold-up. It is my opin ion that the name McDonald was con tused with the name McDanlels. In fact. Friday afternoon a man telephoned In to me and he asked, 'Have you heard the latest?' I said, 'No.' He answered: 'Frank McDanlels has confessed in Sa lem.' I waited for the papers, and when I saw a denial of the story from Salem, and the report of the confession of Mc Donald. I naturally concluded that the two men had been mixed. "McDanlels did not confess to me, as has also been reported, before he left for Salem. He had no time. I learned that he was to go up in the afternoon, and told him to get ready only 10 minutes before he left his cell. I stayed with him while he got ready. He was greatly alarmed at going so soon, and wanted to stay over another day. I was glad that I took every precaution, for when I searched his cell after he left, I found enough yen shee to kill a dozen men. When I talked with McDanlels last week he did not broach the subject of a confes sion, and I am confident that it was simply an unfounded rumor." BASEBALL TODAY. Woodmen and Workmen Nines "Will Meet at Professional Grounds. The second game of the championship series of the Woodmen of the World and Fidelity Lodge of Ancient Order of United Workmen teams will be played this after noon at the Portland Baseball Park. The game will be called at 3 o'clock by Umpire Rankin. The two nines will put up one of the best amateur games ever seen In the city. The Woodmen of the World nine is a composite team, with the members composed of star players drawn from dif ferent localities. Deneffe comes from Spokane; Dunbar and Heslln from Trout dale; the other are leading Portland ama teurs. The Fidelity nine is composed of local talent entirely, and has some of the fastest young players in the city. Interest in the game is being aroused by the enthusiasm, of the lodge men. For home runs both sides are offering the players a bonus of $5. Players making three-baggers will be rewarded with 53 50 for each lucky swipe. The batteries are: Fidelity Hoyt, pitcher, and Brown, catch er; Woodmen Dunbar, pitcher, and Oliver, catcher. The Woodmen team has an open challenge out for any amateur team in the state. EAST SIDE NEWS. Work on the Slain Building of "Woolen Mill Well Under Way. Work on the main building of the Port land Woolen Mills at Sellwood Is well under way, and the mill race is being excavated for a distance of EOO feet from the power pit to Johnson Creek. The main building is 173x200 feet. For this the foundation is finished. It stands well above the ground so that the shaft ing can be placed under the floor. Heat ing, lighting and ventilation will be care fully looked after. There will be lunch and toilet rooms. Every employe will be provided with a locker. The warehouse, a building formerly part of the Shindler Furniture Factory, has been moved east of the factory on the new Southern Pacific sidetrack. It is a two-story building. GIANT RAINBOW TROUT. THIRTY-THREE INCH FISH TAKEN IN HOOD RIVER, The largest and finest specimen of rainbow trout ever caught in Hood River was landed by B. J. Rand, of Hood River, Or. He is a successful fisherman, but the landing of the 33-lnch trout was one of the moat dimcult feats of his angling career. He was Ashing in a deep pool In the west fork of the river, when the big fish rose to a Professor fly. Walter H. Holt and P. L. Possen, of Portland, were camping near by when the trout was taken. Holt took the photograph herewith reproduced, and Possen made the measurement. it will be connected with the factory building by a covered runway so that the raw material can be unloaded from cars and taken into the factory direct. Work I on the main building is progressing slowly on account of the difficulty In obtaining lumber. It will require 350,000 feet of lum ber. The power pit Is 16x36 feet and about 24 feet deep. The trench for the mill race is from 14 to 17 feet deep for most of the distance. At the bottom It is 8 and 10 feet wide. Part of the excavating Is through gravel almost as hard as cement. Below the gravel Is a hard blue clay formation that can be excavated only by hand. No work has been done on the flume, which will convey water to the factory from Johnson Creek. It will be built of lum ber. When the factory is completed there will be a demand for small cottages. When the mill Is in operation fully 50 cottages will be required. Half a dozen dwellings have been finished at Sellwood and three new ones have recently been started. Improvements Well in Hand. The Eleventh Ward Sub-Board, which meets at Piedmont, has a number of Im portant matter well advanced. The widening of Union avenue to SO feet for about one mile and a half Is progress ing, and there is every reason to hope for success. The petition for""the widen ing contains the names of more than two thirds of the property-owners on the street. It will take its course through the Common Council. There is but one large building to be moved back 10 feet, and that Is the one on Union and Alns worth avenues. A few cottages will have to be set back, but these are not im-portant- The petition for free mall de livery has already reached Wash ington and a reply is expected soon. The residents have reason to hope from the encouragement they have received, that they will get free delivery in due time. It has been decided not ,to be active for a new schoolhouse so far In advance of the annual meeting of the taxpayers of the district At that time the residents of Woodlawn hope to make such a show ing that a new schoolhouse will be auth orized. The hope also Is entertained that the county will repair Vancouver ave nue to Alberta street. Rev. Mr. Deck's Serious Accident. Rev. H. A. Deck, pastor of the Second United Evangelical Church, Upper Alblna, met with a serious accident a few days ago. He was on the roof of the parsonage when he slipped and fell to the ground striking on his head. He was uncon scious for several hours, but was much Improved yesterday. East Side Notes. Frank Ellis, formerly a Portland police man, has returned from Idaho. William Klllingsworth has Informed the sub-boards of the Eleventh ward that he will advocate a proposal to divide the ward. The Sellwood school grounds will be im proved and beautified. A committee com posed of Frank Gibson, E. B. Madden and Professor Curtis has been appointed to prepare plans. Thomas H. Hurlburt, Government sur vey inspector, Is spending a few days with his family on the East Side. He had been absent for five months and on this last trip had been in Colorado and New Mexico.

ONCE PORTLAND FAVORITE TACOMA MURDERER- ENTERTAINED MANY WITH HIS CORNET. His Magical Friends Believe That He Was Insane "When He Mur dered His Wife. I Eben L. Boyce, who was hanged at Tacoma Friday, for the murder of his wife, was well known to Portland play goers and to professional musicians, he having played the cornet at various places of amusement for nearly four years prior to the beginning of the Spanish-American war. He was regard ed by many as the greatest cornet player in the United States. His one falling was a lack of confidence in himself when appearing In public, as a soloist, though he could play the most difficult pieces with the utmost precision when among --" friends at a small party. He had won derful compass, and when playing from memory, as was often necessary, he could run from high F to pedal C, with out apparent teffort. He often accom panied women singers, and his power of harmonizing the cornet with the voice in all its variations was a topic of conver sation among professional cornet players, who all admired Boyce for his talent and for his lack of conceit. Many Portlanders think the newspapers 'of Tacoma were rather severe on the doomed man. who was never known here as an opium fiend or drinker of wood alcohol. He often went on sprees, and was very eccentric, but his friends can not believe that he committed in cold blood the crime for which he was exe cuted. They feel sure that he was in sane. While some agree mat he de served hanging they do not helleve he had fallen so low in the scale of hu manity as has been described In the rTacoma papers. Some who speak in these terms of Boyce, have hoped that his sentence would be commuted to Im prisonment for life. Boyce joined the Fourteenth Infantry In 1697, and went with the regiment to the Philippines, returning to San Fran cisco in 189S. He married the woman he killed in San Francisco,- and afterward joined the Fourth Cavalry. When this regiment was sent to Manila Boyce ob tained his discharge. He and his wife went from San Francisco to Colorado, and later to Victoria, passing through Portland on his way there. His wife left him on Puget Sound and was work ing in a Tacoma restaurant when Boyce came upon her suddenly and killed her with a pistol. OF MODERN WAR. . The Difficulties It Presents It's Un known Problems. The war In South Africa, of which Great Britain is paying the cost. Is an object lesson to the whole world. Mlllltary stu dents everywhere are studying it with Intense attention. It Is practically the first war on an extended scale 'that has occurred since the revolution wrought In the means of attack and defense by smokeless powder, and immensely more effective artillery and small arms. Our war In Cuba, says the Boston Herald,' was chiefly instructive in Its naval battles. The conflicts on land were too few and un equal to make the lessons of highest authority. Our war in the Philippines has been prosecuted against an unmill tary people, poorly supplied .with weap ons and not well instructed in the use of those they had. Itdias afforded no such teaching as the Boer war, where both forces in the beginning were well sup plied with modern weapons, those of the Boers, Indeed, being quite equal to those of the British, although the users of them were deficient in some essentials of mil itary training and discipline. Every one knows now that a future war botween states having similar and substantially equal equipment will be a different affair from, any war of the past, characterized by a different order of generalship and a radically novel application of the prin ciples of strategy and tactics. Before the Transvaal war General Van der Goltz, of Germany, declared that Ihe battle of the future is a Sphinx of which no one has expounded the riddle; If regu lation methods are used the troops would be exterminated; a victorious attack can not be carried out by long chains of rifle men alone; only masses of men can give results and carry out an assault, and as such masses would be threatened with extinction, we are faced by an Insoluble problem. The picturesque aspect of bat tles is a thing of the past. There are to be no more compact army lines de ployed In opposition within sight of each other, no more massing for tin assault like that of the third day at Gettys burg. Under mddern conditions such a line as marched out of the woods to cross the space between the contending forces could not live to make quarter of the distance. Indeed, it could never have formed for the rush for the stone wall behind which the Union line awaited their oncomings Nor, for that matter, could the lino have been stationed where it was. The shock of meeting angles is a phrase that belongs to history, v There will be no more battles like those of the Franco Prussian war. The very word battle will seem almost Inappropriate to the kind of conflicts that will characterize the future war. if one la, forced. Lord Roberts has said: "When I first went to South Africa, I laid down the rule that the files were not to be closer than six paces when advancing to at tack. That was very soon altered to ten and twenty paces. It Is absolutely necessary to be widely separated." The reason of this is not on account of any thing peculiar to the South African war or the Boer tactics. It is owing to the peculiar destructiveness of modern weapons their rapid fire, long range and superior power of penetration, a single rifle bullet being able to disable four or Ave men in its range that it Is folly to send men to an attack In masses. The Prussian General, Muller, says that, "In order to avoid complete extermination, soldiers cannot attack otherwise than in loose formation, while avoiding as far as possible the sight of the enemy; they cannot approach except by creeping and hiding behind Irregularities of the ground, digging themselves into it like moles." Intrenching played a great part In war at the time of our civil con flict, but It Is vastly more Important now, nor can the opposing lines be so near together as they frequently were then. Every war, It Is now assumed, will turn Into a struggle for intrenched positions. The open lighting will be only occasional, and usually accidental. Under the necessity of loose formation an attacking army will cover a large area. The regulation space for a Ger man corps with its artillery Is Ave kilometers, something more than three" mlleB. In extended formation, to meet the necessity of modern conditions, this space must be ten times larger, perhaps more. Hence, a comparatively small army must have a large theater for Its operations, and no large army can be handled by one commanding General on the fleld. A German General has ex pressed this condition forcibly by saying that "the commander-in-chief of the German Army, In order to keep an eye on the ensemble of the operating armies, had better remain in Berlin." The conditions will affect In the same manner the commanders of smaller bodies. Count Caprlvi, ex-Chancellor of the German empire, Is quoted as saying that in future wars "very few officers will remain at the head of troops in the first line, and these officers in insufficient numbers will be incapable of Imposing their -will on the soldiers, who in the decisive moment will be left to them selves." A Colonel will not be able to issue a command that wlll.be Immediate ly known to his regiment, and hardly can a Captain promptly command his company. It would seem, therefore, that hereafter there cannot be great battles between large armies, Immediately directed and inspired by one master mind. Subordinates will have to take the responsibility of carrying out as well as they may general orders Issued beforehand, with all the risks of mis carriage that may arise in the actual encounter. Perhnns no nlan of battle was more carefully worked out beforehand than that of the battle of Chattanooga. But In the actual fight the expected did not happen. Sherman never got to tne place where the army of Thomas was to connect with his to sweep Bragg's army off Mis sionary Bridge. But Grant stood all day on Orchard Knoll, In the center of the amphitheater, beholding every phase of the conflict, and. when his first plan failed, promptly devised and executed an other that succeeded. According to the best military students, there will rarely, if ever. In the wars of the future, be similar opportunities for the exhibition of generalship. These conditions, with others as novel and Important, have led many to believe that wars will soon cease. The new weapons give to the army of defense In it3 own country such a preponderance of ad vantage that every power will hesitate to become an invader of f-he territory of an other which has a modern military es tablishment of anywhere near equal ef ficiency. The precept has been that In every attack It is necessary to maintain a superiority of artillery fire that will break down the morale of the Intrenched enemy. This Is becoming Increasingly difficult to-do. The defenders can keep in almost complete security until the ar tillery flro ceases, and the Infantry move3 forward. This must move from such a distance and' under such a fire all the way that the chances of successful assault are greatly diminished. Add to this a con sideration of the Increased destructive ness1 and cost and the social upheaval pro duced by mouern war, and the grounds are apparent upon which advocates of peace, like M. de Bloch, entertain the opinion that war between civilized states as a means of settling controversies must yield to arbitration. TWO ATTEMPTS AT SUICIDE Insane Man Tried to End His Life in the City Jail. John Greensteln, alias Frank Patton, at tempted to commit suicide in the police station yesterday by hanging himself with a piece of cloth to one of the win dows, but he was cut down in time. He is an insane patient who recently escaped from the State Insane Asylum, and when he was found wandering abat the streets yesterday In a de.mented condi tion he was taken to the police station. An officer of the asylum was In the city on business, and he agreed to take Greensteln back with him. In the inter val, however, Greensteln made the at tempt to end his existence. No sooner had he been cut down than he tried to strangle himself. He was again over powered and -placed under guard. Last night he was taken to Salem.

The New York Central Railroad has declared Its opposition to the construction of the North River bridge, which it is proposed to build above Twenty-third street, and which Is now openly supported by the Pennsylvania Railroad. The Central does not like the Idea of the railroads now terminating on the New Jersey side of the Hudson River obtaining a great terminal station in New York City and thus threatening its present advan tage on Manhattan Island. It has inti mated that the plans to build that struc ture will be obstructed. The Pennsylvania Railroad is now so committed to carry ing through the bridge that it is a mere question of time when the activo work will be commenced. At present several railroads are not eager to assume the liability which would be Involved by an agreement to use the brldger but the advantages of the New York terminus which It would secure are so obvious that no doubt Is felt by those active in promoting the construction ,of the bridge that all the railroads reaching Jersey City will undertake their separate shares of the burden. Pennsylvania offi cers are so determined to have a bridge connection that they will be prepared to tell any railroad holding back that the bridge will be built by the Pennsylvania Railroad individually if it cannot be built as a union enterprise. The question of the New York Central's opposition policy Is left to the Pennsylvania officers for set tlement, and. It is believed that any ob structive tactics will be overcome.

C H. PRESCOTT, Trustee, For Inspection of bouse see tenants TALK OF GRAFT NOW SALMON FISHERMEN DO NOT COM PLAIN OF THE STATE FEE. Recent Bis Run of Flsli in the Co lumbia. River Demonstrated tne Value of Propagation. Master Fish Warden Van Dusen, who was at the Imperial yesterday, ex pressed himself as well pleased with the way salmon have been running in ,the Columbia, and said that the fishermen of the lower river are now convinced of the value of artificial propagation. "Most of the fishermen," he said, "have considered the collection of license as simply a graft, upon which certain offi cials were waxing fat. They did not con sider that every dollar raised by the li cense system had been made to go as far as possible in maintaining hatcheries, and so were rather reluctant about paying $1 annually Into the state fund. Hereafter these sums will be paid more cheerfully, as the good results of the hatcheries have been demonstrated beyond doubt." Warden Van Dusen is encouraged to go ahead with the work himself, and will do his best to turn out a large num ber of fry this year. He thinks, how ever, that the tributaries of the Colum bia River on the Washington side are better adapted for propagating salmon than the Oregon streams, as the eggs can be more easily obtained. "At the Chackamas hatchery we have 1,000,000 eggs on hand," he said. "We began operations there July 12, when we ob tained 20,000 eggs for a starter. We have thus made a very good beginning this year. "Washington has hatcheries In oper ation on the Kalama, Chinook, Wind, Klickitat, Wenatchee and Methow Rivers, while the Government Is doing consid erable good with Its hatchery on the Little White Salmon. Eyeing stations are maintained on Tanner and Eagle Creeks. These stations are used to de velop the salmon eggs until they reach the eyeing period, when they can be transported any distance before hatch ing. Eggs have been sent clear to New Zealand after having reached the eyeing stage, and have arrived there in first class order." Mr. Van Dusen estimates the number of fry to be turned loose into the lot this year at between 30,000,000 and 50,000,000. With ordinary luck this should insure at least 2,000,000 matured fish, which would mean $2,000,000 for Oregon. The fish now coming from the ocean average in age from 4 to 8 years, so they were turned loose In 1S95-6-7 and S, when but 19,000,000 fry were hatched altogether. Warden Van Dusen thinks trout fire the worst enemies the young salmon'have to contend with, and estimates the number devoured by these gamey fish as enor mous. "I have seen 90 young fry in the stomach of a Dolly Varden trout," he said, "and we did not count those that were partly digested, either." Tlie Newspaper. Nashville American. A newspaper may be honest without be ing either a fair or a just newspaper. It may bo courageous, and yet lack both in telligence and honesty. It may be intelli gent and yet lack In courage and honesty. It is comparatively .easy for a newspaper to be honest in a mere financial sense. It is not so easy to be honest and cour ageous in the higher sense In proclaim ing the truth, regardless of whether It may prove popular or otherwise; In stand ing firmly for conservatism and fairness and justice In spite of passing storms of passion and prejudice and the sentiments which 'In the enthusiasm and intoxication of the hour forsake reason and consume themselves in their own heat. As the newspaper is the. product of hu man beings it cannot escape the errors and mistakes and weaknesses which" be set humanity. But It is an entity upon which "rests great responsibility.- Some thing more Is required of It than Is ex pected of the mere time server and self seeker In the fleld of politics or the world of greed and grab. The yellow newspa per, the sensational journal to which nothing Is sacred, and which has only gain for Its object the newspaper that is satisfied to cater to Ignorance and preju dice In order to gain readers or worthless praise, which seeks to array class against class, the rich against the poor, the poor against the rich, and which strives to attract attention or popularity by an ex treme course In the advocacy of some passing movement, sentiment, or fancy, contributes nothing to the public good or the general welfare, morally, socially or politically. The power of publicity, however. Is great. It Is a power which great and small recognize, and which the evil fear. To the wrongdoer it is a constant threat and menace. It exerts a restraining Influ ence only second, perhaps, to that of the law. The newspaper that does its duty In all circumstances must have sound judgment and true courage behind it. In no circumstances may it hope to es cape criticism; often may It expect to be charged with dishonesty of motive. Having: Fan "With the Pops. Chicago Record-Herald. 'According to J.
