Heirs of Portland Man Who llcd on
Itoard barge in I0 1. w Ke
rrUed Judgment Money.
PiM-overy of n unknown per of Otto
rannler. who lost bis life in 1904. in an
accident aboard a barge belonging to
tt Oregon Hound Lumber Company and
which i aiding a sl ip of the Asiatic
Steamship Company In putting to sea.
yesterday led to the Instigation of a
tearth of tlie court recorUo to what
herame of the ram of rA which
paid Into the Tnlted Slates Court In
jtfaotlun of the Judgment which the
orecon Hound Lumber Company paid.
U I vUarBeJ by' Assistant City At
torney Benbow that the heirs of Pannier
lure never received the money, and his
tatrment l upported by the fact that
t!ie admlnHtrator of the eKate hss never
rtled an accounting of what tie did with
the fun.1. The case has been pending
In the County Court for six years.
Pannier waa an unknown laborer In
Portland when he lost hla life aboard
the barge !n lso. B. D. StrauhaU at
that time a reSdetit of Portland, made
application to be appointed admlnlra
tor of the estate, which was rallied at
I1U according to the report submitted
to the County Ctourt.
With the permission of the County
Court. Administrator Straubal secured
the services of Attorney H. H. RlddelU
and a suit was begun tn the Federal
courts for the recovery of the life
services of Pannier. After a trial a
Judgment was rendered In favor of the
administrator for $3t. After some de
lay the defendant companies appeared
In court and satisfied the Judgment,
which was released by Attorney Rld
riell. and appears In his handwriting on
the margin of the record of the Judg
ment. After securing the cash It appears
that no further report of the estate
was made to the County Court, and that
soon thereafter Strauhal went to Alas
ka. The caae still appears on the court
docket for final settlement.
Attorney Rlddell was yesterday in
sistent upon the claim that he had de
livered the money to StrauhaU but ad
mitted hla negligence In failing; to se
cure a receipt.
"I suppose I should have followed the
case tnrough the Coupty Court, and
looked after the disposition of the
money. I did not do so. and really
thought that everything would be all
right after I portioned the money be
tween the administrator and myself.
I took the case on a contingent tee, and
was entitled to 50 per cent of the
Judgment.
"I do not know where Administrator
Strauhal is at this time. The last I
beard of him he was in Alaska. I will
try to get him back here immediately,
and cause a settlement of the Pannier
estate to be made."
Attorney Benbow, who was retained
by the sister of Pannier, the latter being-
a resident of Newark. N. J, waa
reluctant to discuss the case.
-We have been unable to find Mr.
Strauhal. the administrator, to secure
his side of the case, but we hope to
have him in Portland. within tho next
three tlays." said Mr. Benbow.

Congress, Tillman Renter,
Proves Zone's Wealth.
What is considered the best boost
Central Oregon has received since the
Oregon Trunk and Oregon Central be
gan construction on their lines. Is the
record made by 'Tillman Reuter. of
Madras, who won five sweepstakes
prizes at the National Dry Farming
Congress held at Spokane recently.
In competition with all the promi
nent dry-farming districts west of the
Mlsslppl. Mr. Reuter. the only "dele
gate from Oregon, took first prizes on
sheaf grain, vegetables, onions, corn
and alfalfa.
Where Mr. Reuter's farm is located
In Crook County the annual rainfall i
light, being around ten Inches. A few
years ago Mr. Reuter adopted the
methods of dry farming advanced by
Professor Campbell and his efforts
along Improved lines of cultivation soon
produced attractive results. The qual
ity of products raised by Mr. Reuter,
as shown by the exhibit Judges at Spo
kane. Is considered the best that can
be raised by the dry-farming system.
"1 consider that Mr. Reuter's success
Is one of the great achievements for
Central Oregon," said Don P. Rea yes
terday. "His work will open up a
great field for dry farming In the cen
tral part of the state, where thousands
of acres hitherto considered worthless
save for grazing purposes, can be made
highly productive by using the dryr
farratag system."
The showing made by Mr. Reuter
has been brought t6 the attention of
the Portland Chamber of Commerce. It
Is planned to bring Mr. Leuter to Port
land soon to give a demonstration of
the work be has been doing on his
farm. Efforts will be made to secure
the display made by Mr. Reuter at Spo
kane and Install It among the perma
nent exhlblta at the Chamber of Com

OBJECTS TO HOME RULE
Dr. C. T. Wilson Sajs Measure
Should Not Pass.
PORTLAND. Or., Oct. 29. (To the
Editor.) The article on the "Home
Rule" bill on tho editorial page of The
Oregonlan and also the letter by the
Attorney-General on the meaning of
the measure were very helpful to voters
who must decide on the merits of that
bllL The two points made were that
Its adoption "would n6t exempt cities
and towns from the operation of the
constitution and criminal laws of the
state"; and second. It "would not ex
empt cities from the operation of the
local option law within said corporate
limits."
These two points are admitted by the
forces opposing this bill. The points
that we are making against the pro
posed amendment are: First, to give
cities and towns exclusive power to
license, regulate and control the liquor
traffic within their limits Is to annul
all present restrictions upon said traf
fic now on the atatute books of Ore
gon. We have a law against selling
liquor to minors, against selling to In
ebriates while intoxicated, against hav
ing women In saloons, against selling
liquor on election day. against selling
on Sundays. All these would be an
nulled so far as cities and corporate
towns are concerned, anl we should be
left In all towns of Oregon to such re
strictions as we could get In the form
of ordinances passed by the several
City Councils.
Second. We are claiming that this
amendment Is unjust from the dollar
viewpoint, in that a " corporate city
takes all the license money for Its city
treasury, but leaves the county unit
the expense of maintaining the Cir
cuit Courts, the Jails, alms houses, etc.
to be supported fcy rural taxpayers; and,
that the saloons in the wet towns
would cause most of the expenses of
these, while all revenue would go to tee
towns; and all citizens outside thee
cities, while taxed to pay the expense
Incurred, will be disfranchised on the
liquor question from any vote as to
whether their county shall be wet or
dry.
. Third. The amendment is unamer
Ican In form of government. The county
is the unit of taxation and of govern
ment. To allow a little rum hole of
a municipality to run wet within a
county where the sentiment Is dry is to
set up confusion and not order,. Take
Tambill County. Four fifths of its
assessable property and four-fifths of
its taxpayers live outside the corpor
ate limits of cities. This home rule
amendment would exclude these four
fifths of the taxpayera from any say
as to the regulation of the liquor traf
fics in their little towns, but tax them
to maintain the courts, county farms,
eta Besides, our local option law is
a state criminal law; wherever you set
up separate principalities Independent
of the state criminal laws, you intro
duce - confusion and disorder of the
worst type.
Will these three objections "hold
water?"
Is not this amendment a word-for-word
copy of the Reddy bill, defeated
two years ago by 13,000, so far as it
related to the liquor traffic?

Properly Owners of North Albina
Have Been Saved $27,000 Be
cause Glazed Cement Sewer
Pipe Has Made Real
Competition.
The City of Portland yesterday morning
signed the first contract for the construction of a
district sewer with cement pipe (power-tamping
process).
See What Glazed Cement Sewer
Pipe Has Done
March 17 bids were advertised for the River
side district sewer. Terra cotta pipe was specified.
The City Engineer's estimate was announced a3
$159,847.01. And with no competition in mate
rial, contractors' bids at that time were almost
invariably equal to or above the estimate; for
i instance, the bid on the Brooklyn sewer was $33,
000 above the estimate, while the lowest bid on
the Holgate extension was $15,896.74 over the
City Engineer's estimate.
Property owners, tired of pfiying tribute to
the Pipe Trust, demanded competition. A six
months' fight against the threatening competitor,
Glazed Cement Pipe, was the result. Last week
Glazed Cement Pipe won on its merits.
Note This The successful bid for the River
side district was $132,000 a difference of $27,000
under the original estimated cost. That sum has
been saved, the property owners.
