BULL RUN NOT IN DANGER Hallway. Which lias Already Spnl S2.S00.00O la Development, lias X Right Above City Intake. I'rini'M Only Trmporarj. A proposal that has been made pub Iteiy that the city demand from the Mount Hood Railway Power Com pany, certain NgMs on the Little Sandy and Bull Run Rivers la believed by r. B. Smith, general manager of the rompany. to ba baaed on a general mis apprehension of facta. In a statement res-.erday. Mr. Smith made It clear that the company has no rights on the Hull Run River that ara not ubject to those of the city of Portland. On th I.lttla Sandy, tha company owns all the water rights and tha city never haa owned or even made application for any rights. "Recent attempt that have been made." aald Mr. Smith yesterday. "1 rnntuH our application made to the City Council for a permit to construct a temporary atreet railway track In iviu avenue, with our water rights, ara wide of tha mark. This application haa no bearing whatever on our power development. We are m rely asking for permlsMnn to expend some no-i-vanda of dullara In providing dlrt connection between our railway and t:ie Portland street railway system until ueh time as our train can enter tha city over tha Broadway Bridge. Track Not for Keirnuc. The half mile of track that we pro pose to build la to be operated by the Portland Railway Llaht A Power Com pany, and that company will not derive any Income from It. The track la to he temporary and la to he removed bv us at further expense after our Una haa been completed Into tha city. "At present passengers on our rail way and workmen employed by u leaving or entering the city are obliged to wa!k half a mile between oar Monti vll'.a Station and Kast 80th street, iha nearest point where they can take the atreet car to tha city. Thla Inconven ience I considerable now and will be Increased when rainy weather :omc. We ara handling several nund-el p aengera dally In the week and some time more than 10U on Bundaya. Since our aole object In asking this rermit Is to provide accommodation to the pub lic, at considerable expense to our selves, we '-ere greatly surprtsod that tha application should have been re sisted. . People wno are Demanding that we surrender rights on Bull Haa P.lver ara not cognisant cf tha acts. Iha only rights that we now possess on the Bull Run are entirely subject to those of the city. Some yeara ago the com pany held further rights on Bull Run River but these were transferred to the city In return for certain right of wsy across lands belonging to the city near tha village of Bull Run. An or dinance was then adopted, permlttljg tha Mount Hood Railway Power rompany to ue the surplus waters of Bull Run below tha Intake of the city's water system. Clty'n lyKlit Inspected. These rights cannot. In any event, conflict with tha city's requirements. We are entitled to such waters aa spill ever the dam after tha city has taken all It wants; that Is to say. the city may take the -entire flow of the Bull Run all the time. Perhape It la not generally understood that the levels of the country ara such that the city cannot take water from the Bull Run at any lesser elevation than Its pres ent Intake and bring the water to the city by gravity. In confirmation of this, it may be died that last year It waa necessary to Increase the height of tha city dara because at the former elevation the city's pip waa not filled to Its entire capacity. "The only use to which we can ever put this right to the overflow from the city's dam Is to prepare flood Insurance against the breaking- of the main con duit from the Utile Sandy. Perhaps In time of flood, our regular aourc of supply may be disabled and possibly then, we should turn overflow waters from the Bull Run dara Into our reser voir by means of a flume. Iloweve.. It la quite possible that we shall never want to utilise these rights. -Our entire Investment Is based on nnr rights on the big Sandy and Utile Sandy Rivera. The Little S.indy la trib utary to the Ball Run which In turn flows Into th Big Sandv. The I.lttla Sandy emptlea Into the Bull Run at a point several miles below the city's In take and therefore forms no part of th city's present water supply. Mule Sandy Often Maddjr. Th Bull Run River Is always clear while every severe storm stirs up the IJttle Sandy and makes tha waters ' roily. This make It unsulted during some seasons for the nse of the city. Tha Big Sandy Is entirely unruited for a water supply for a city, being a glac ial stream that Is always white or jolly, and sometimes tha water la tha roosistency of soup. It Is now gen erally assumed that when Portland has a population of (00.000. tha entire flow of tha Bull Run River will taken to supply the city. It will be necessary . then to look for a much greater aourc In order to provide for future growth of the city. Th IJttle Sandy has a flow of only one-fourth that of Bull Run and bene It would furnish water only for two or thre mora years growth of tha city. Th history of tha city's develop ment shows that water supply must be prepared for many years in advance. Kvldence of thla may be found In the present demoralisation caused by fs.il ur to complete, th second Bull Run pip line as soon as expected. It ap pears that undue Importance Is at tached to the rights to the small ad ditional flow from th Little Sandy, which would not b of great value to th city even If th Mount Hood Rail way Power Company wer willing to make such a concession, which It cannot In fairness be expected to make. "The city has no shadow of right to th Little Sandy. Our company ob tained this right regularly and the sug gestion that we give up th Llttl sandy In return for an unimportant temporary franchise In Portland can not be accepted by us a serious.

HEAD IS TO DECIDE Strike Question Now Up to Juliuis Kruttschnitt. MEETING SOUTH IS FINAL Mechanic to Continue at Posts Un til Word Is Received From In ternational Officers Rail Officials on Guard. Having concluded to await the result ef tha conference between Julius Krutt schnitt. director of maintenance and op eration of the Harrlman system, andthe international presidents of the labor or ganisation with which they are affil iated, operatives employed In the me chanical department of thla railroad system In Portland will not seek a meet ing with J. P. O'Brien, vice-president and general manager of the Harrlman system In this territory. Meanwhile these employes will continue at their work until the question awaiting set tlement have been considered by tha conferee. "It would be altogether futile for us to hold any conference with Mr. O'Brien." aald L. F. Lane, of the In ternational Association of Machinists, who Is representing the railroad em ployes, yesterday. "He U powerless to grant our demands and the best he could MAYOR'S WHISKERS ARE ASTORIA ATTRACTION People rrom Abroad Who Come to Attend Centennial Are Delighted "With Hirsute Appendage of Executive. TWENTY-FOUR Inches wide by J Inches long by 3 Inches thick, making In all 1SI cubic Inches, Is the atent of th whiskers which Dr. It U Henderson, mayor of Astoria, w(ra. and which ha claims are th. largest wblsktrs on th. Paclflo Coast, bar none. In fact. th. mere supposition that there are larger whiskers and finor whiskers anywhere between the Bering Sea and Catallna Island Is likely to meet with serious opposition from the doctor-mayor. Visitors to the Centennial celebration at Astoria have remarked on the extent of the whiskers, and on of the chief attractions uf tha celebration put on by the seaport has been the Mayor's whiskers, familiar all over Western Oregon and known aa far East aa the Rockies. Legends of th whiskers and their owner and wearer have travsled since th opening of the celebration, and It Is now safe to aay that In every town wher on of It Inhabitants has attended th Centennial th whiskers of th head of the Centennial committee irs known. Uayor Henderson's whiskers are not the traditional white whiskers of the patriarch, nor a ruby hirsute append age like that of the famous James Hamilton Lewis. They have distinct attrlbutea that throw the pink whis kers of Jim Ham and the Dowelte growth of the fathers of the Northwest Into an eclipse. They are strong, stur dy whiskers, touched, but not yet over covered by the snows of approaching Winter and still good for many years of life. They are carefully kept and carefully trained, and they show It. One day last week, when a party of tourists from Falem wer enjoying th sights of the Centennial and had, as Is th custom of tourists, lined op for a photograph of th party. Mayor Hen derson waa Included In th photo, and was given a place close to th oenter of th group, where hi whiskers would appear to the best advantage. It chanced, as fate would have It, that a Salem minister, well known In hla own part of the country for his facial dec oratlona. was also In the group and one of the Mayor's friends caught sight of him. "Oh. Mr. Henderson." he called out. "here's a man who haa better whis kers than you have." "Where la he. I don't believe It. Let me see him." an swered the Mayor, and waa not satisfied until he had Inspected the whiskers of th minister and decided that, although they were worthy of competition with his. In an open and fair decision ( his growth would win. More tales of the Mayor and hla whis kers wer told after th Incident had loosened tongue. Th iJayor. with W. P. Strand borg. of Portland, and L. EL do would be to make a report of condi tions here to his superiors for their Information In the conference at San Francisco next Saturday. Mr. O'Brien knows what our demands are and prob ably has made a report and recommen dations to Mr. Kruttschnitt. ' Work Not to Halt, ' "At' any rate, the question of differ ence between the Harrlman system and Its operatives must necessarily be set tled In the conference at San Francisco. The result of that meeting will be final. What that result will b I cannot fore tell, but until we are officially advised by our International officer and re ceive definite Instruct-jns a to our future action, we will continue our em ployment under existing terms and con ditions." Mr. Lane said last night that so far as he had been advised, no further men had been laid off by th. Harrlman of ficials In pursuanc. of their announced retrenchment policy. The report that 125 men were to be dismissed from tha service of the Southern Pacific yester day waa not fulfilled. It may be that the fore on this road will not be cur tailed until the retirement of over 3000 workmen begins some time this week. According to Mr. Lane the only step that has been taken by the Harrlman officials in. tots district toward cutting down expensea Is to reduce from nine to eight hours the working day of 125 laborers on the Southern Pacific and then allow them to work only five daya a week. - ! ItrnttM-hnlU Is Firm. Judging from' Intervlewe Mr. Krutt ' scnnltt has given since leaving Chicago for Ban Francisco, it la Improbable that he will recognise the federation of labor organisations that is beh.n- the de mand for concessions from the rail road. His failure to give this recogni tion in treating with the situation, union men here assert, will Inevitably result In the strike that Is threatened. It Is a recognition of this federation that is wanted by the laboring men fully as much as the slight advance In wages and better working conditions. Including i th. "closed shop" policy,- that ar pre sented In their demands. j Although Mr. O'Brien could not be reached yesterday. It Is known that the Harrlman officials here are thoroughly lert In meetlna- a situation that is gen- erslly regarded serious. The action of the railroad ortlciais in uaving biock ades constructed around their shops at division points Is considered a precau tionary step to protect the property of the corporation in event of a serious , strike, which spparently U anticipated ' by the railroad people themselves. Fur- ther evidence that the railroad system Is fortifying Itself sgalnat possible trouble Is furnished In the report that It Is Increasing Its force of detectives and ponce officers. These exterior moves augur expected trouble and show an activity on the part of railroad of- flclals to be prepared. V Mayer Headers, f Astarla, ad Ills Ulorloaa WhUker. Warford. designer of parades for the Rose Festival, the Seattle Pbtlatch and the Astoria Centennial, were In Seattle on an automobile trip near the close of the Potlach.- Down the atreet by them came a man with whiskers that spread in patriarchal-wise over his broad breast. Although tr. Henderson Is al ways on the lookout for claimants to his hirsute honors, he failed to see the man. Wsrford bent over and shouted Into the Mayor's ear that a man with bigger whiskers than he had Just gone bv. By this time the automobile had turned a corner and left the claimant tn th rear. The, Mayor was not satisfied until th auto was turned about and brought back around the block, where he could see the whiskers of th passer-by. In a glance h saw that the stranger was not so well biassed as himself and waa satisfied. Rumor lias it that, when working, the Mayor always tuck away the whiskers In his coat, and that at such times one could not tell that the biggest whiskers on the Coast are his. On dress occa sions they are In full magnificence, but when th rain begin to fall in th venlngs th whisker of th Mayor ar tucked carefully away under hla over coat, wher they will suffer no damage. The Centennial committee ha offered free transportation to the Centennial to any one whose whisker ar greater than those ef Astoria's doctor-mayor.
