Control of 2.000 feet of the water- frontage In what Is known as Mocks bottom, on the east aide, north of the plant of the Portland Flouring mills company, i sought on a basis that will make the purchase price total ap proximately $1,000000. Those holding the option are said to represent the Hamburg-American Steamship com pany. The company also haa options on property at San Francisco. S. H. F. Doherty, Pacific coast agent, has departed from that city with plans and specifications to confer with his em ployera. ' - i As at San Francisco the Mocks Bot gtructlon of a series of docks for com mercial purposes, conalning passenger facilile and an immense fill Is to he made to the rear of a seawall that the entire tract, which has been regarded as almost worthless, may be reclaimed from the O.-W.' R. ft N and Northern Pacific lines. ' Line to Cross Pacific , , The plan of the Hamburg-American system is to place in service a line of steamers from New York via the Panama canal lo Pacific coast harbors, handling immigrants from Europe who are to cross the Atlantic by the eervlce now maintained, and i thence, embark on the Pacific coast line. With that is a proposal to es tablish a trans-Pacific service to Yo kohama and Asiatic ports. With the withdrawal of the Portland ft Asiatic Steamship company from the field, i through the transfer of its charters on four a' earners to Frank Waterhouse & company, marine men assert that no where on the Pacific elope is there such a field for the establishment of a new oriental line as at Portland. While the Waterhouse Interests have inaugurated a 20-day service with six steamers, Portland is virtually off the map In a sense, for the city has no direct service acrosg the Pacific, the schedule providing for calls at Puget Sound ports both coming and going. Ilalfof Island May Go. It haa been pointed out that in a comparative short time at least half of Swan island must be removed. The main road between the island and the east bank of the Willamette is too har row " to ' afford the best passage for heavily-laden stearaerg traveling in opposite directions, besides there is a turn that at times bothers pilots. For those reasons the removal of the is land has been discussed and with a view to making the Mocks Bottom tract valuable the material dredged from, the island could be pumped across the river and used for filling. For six years the Hamburg-American operated steamers on the Portland Oriental route, the vessels being un der charter to the Portland ft Asiatic Steamship company, the last charter expiring in May, 1909. The steamers Arabia, Numantia, Aragonia and Nl comedla were first on the run, and the Alesla was substituted for the Ara gonia. They followed the route of all vessels that sailed in the fleet, clearing from Portland for Yokohama and the usual Asiatic ports as far as Hong Kong." . : ," '' ' "" ". Portland is the only port of promi nence on the coast today that ha not a permanent direct line across the Pa cific, and the only one where passen gera are not received. In former days, when the service wa. handled directly by the O. R. ft N.. now known a the O.-W. R. ft N., the steamers were op erated direct and none tailed from the other side via San Francisco, and all carried passengers. As a result, large cargoes were discharged here and a portion from every steamer was rout ed by rail to eastern points.

Thig was given out to day in cold language when information was received that a valuable mare be longing to a young man by the name of Moon had been killed jn the Williams pasture south of La Grande by a stray bullet from a boy's rifle. The mare was the mother of a four days' old colt and when a veterinary was summon it was found necessary to destroy the mare to put her out of her misery from the wound inflicted by the boy's rifle. The colt also had to be' killed for it could not subsist without its mother. This is only one case, and there are others.

ACCIDENT, SOT SUICIDE. Such Is Possible Solution of Sunnyslde Tragedy This Week. Coroner Ralph Folsom returned last evening from Milton, where he had been called by the violent death of Fred Gelsler a Sunnyslde rancher, says a Pendleton paper. By request of the widow an inquest was held but the jury failed to fix the responsibility of death beyond declaring that It was caused by a fall into a well at his fruit ranch two miles from Milton. Whether it was the result of an accident or of suicidal intent, the Jury would not pre sume to say, inasmuch as no one wit nessed the fatal fall. In h;V story to the coroner's Jury, the widow declared that when her husband arose from bed at midnight and brandished a hatchet over his head, she did not believe he had any intentions of doing her violence, but rather intended to take his own life. She said she succeeded in taking the weapon from him, whereupon he walked toward the pumping house where there was a cot. She followed a little later, she said, to see if he bad gone to bed, but finding the bid empty' could only Infer that he had fallen down the well.
