PORTLAND'S FRIEND
Lieut.-Gen. Miles Favors the
Muster-Out at Vancouver.
C0RBIN AND SHAFTER OPPOSE
Northwestern Senators "Will Make an
Effort lor Vancouver, and, If
Necessary, Will Appeal to
President McKinley.
Portland and Vancouver have a good
friend In Lieutenant-General Nelson A.
Miles, head of the United States Army, in
the matter of landing certain Philippine
regiments at Vancouver. General Miles
thinks that the troops that were mus
tered In at Vancouver should be mus
tered out there, and he Is loyally help
ing Portland's effort to bring about that
result. Adjutant-General Corbin and Gen
eral Shaf ter are opposed to mustering out
at Vancouver, and are In favor of San
Francisco It Is probable that Senator
Foster, of Washington, and Senator
Shoup, of Idaho, will join with Senator
Simon in a representation to the Adjutant
General and the Secretary of War, In
behalf of Vancouver. If they fall with
those officials it is likely that they will
lay their case before President McKinley.
Writing from Washington on February
14 to Henry Hahn, president of the Cham
ber of Commerce, General Charles F.
Beebe, of Portland, says of the subject
of muster-out at Vancouver:
With retard to the mustering-out of volun
teers at Vancouver Barracks, I have had this
closely In mind since reaching here, and have
done everything I could which would seem to
exert any favorable Influence towards its ac
complishment. Senator Simon has addressed a
letter on behalf of the Oregon delegation to the
Secretary of War, urgently requesting that the
Thirty-fifth Infantry, one battalion of the
Thirty-ninth Infantry and two companies of
the Forty-fifth Infantry be returned from Ma
nila by steamer to Portland and mustered out
at Vancouver. Within a day or so after
writing that letter he called with me on the
Secretary of War, and confirmed verbally Its
contents, making a very strong appeal. The
Secretary assured us that It was his hope
that this could be done, and promised that If
possible he would so order. He ild, however,
that the facilities for accomplishing muster
out of all these volunteers In the way of mus
tering officers, medical officers, etc, were so
limited that he feared It would be imprac
ticable to accomplish the muster-out within
the time necessary, unless It were all done at
one place San Francisco. General Miles Is
strongly In favor of sending the troops to their
home station for the purpose of muster-out.
and has made very strong indorsements to this
effect on the papers relating to the matter be
fore they wer submitted to the Secretary of
War I have had several Interviews with Gen
eral Miles, and he has expressed himself most j
warmly In sympathy with us In the effort wc
are making to have the Vancouver organized
troops mustered out there. In addition to his
expression of his views by Indorsement, as
mated above, lie has talked personally with
the Secretary very strongly on this point, and
went to see the Secretary, after my first call
on him. to ank that, whatever might be done
with reference to other posts throughout the
country, our request be favorably considered,
and that an exception be made with such vol
unteer organizations as were mustered In at
Vancouver.
I have had a number of Interviews with Mr.
A W. Dunn, the Associated Press representa
tive here, who knows General Corbin. tho Adjutant-General,
very well. Mr. Dunn has prom
ised to do all that he can to bring about th
accomplishment of our desires. He called on
the Adjutant-General and made a strong ap
peal to nlm to recommend the mustering out
of those organizations at Vancouver, but found
that ho was not in favor of so doing, having
the idea that It could be best accomplished at
San Francisco. Goneral Shafter. I understand.
Is strongly In favor of having all the volun
teers mustered out there, and his recommen
dations In this regard are approved by the
Adjutant-General.
Today I called on Senator Foster, of Wash
ington, and Senator Shoup. of Idaho, and
asked them If they would not co-operate with
Senator Simon In a combined effort to have
the Vancouver organized volunteers mustered
out there, and they both promised to do so.

saying that they would accompany Senator
Simon In a call on the Adjutant-General or
Secretary of War at any time when he might
arrange, it. with this in view. Senator Simon
will arrange for this call to be made as soon
as possible, and I am very much In hopes that
It will accomplish the desired effect. All the
facilities exist for doing the work speedily and
effectively at Vancouver Barracks, and, as It
will take no longer to get the troops there
than it will to San Francisco, there seems no
good reason why our request should not bo
granted. I think It will be the purpose of the
combined Senators of Washington. Oregon and
Idaho, in case they do not succeed with cither
the Adjutant-General or the Secretary of War,
to take the matter to the President and press
It rery urgently.
TO RECOVER A MINE.
Suit Degna to Get Back the Oregon
Kins' Property.
T. J. Brown, of Roseburg. and B. W.
(Maddox, of Portland, have commenced
suit in the United States Court against
the Oregon King Mining Company, to re
cover possession of a mining claim, and
the sum of $100,000, with their costs and
disbursements. Defendant la a private
corporation, organized under the laws of
Wyoming, and having its principal place
of business In that state; but the mining
claim is in Oregon. The complaint In
the case Is voluminous, and complicated,
but it sets up that T. J. Brown, in 1S97,
discovered the St. Elmo ledge, carrying
gold, silver and copper, and directed one
C. Friend to the place, and he also dis
covered It, and that they erected a mon
ument on said lode, bearing the notice
required by law, and that they sunk a dis
covery shaft. It is further alleged that
In 1S99 G. M. Wilson and others unlaw
fully entered upon the premises and have
ever since, with threats of violence, held
possession of the same from Friend and
his successors, and finally disposed of their
pretended interets to the Oregon King
Mining Company, which still withhold the
property from Brown and Friend. Where
fore plaintiffs ask for judgment for pos
session of the property, and that they re
cover from defendants the sum of $100,000
and their costs and disbursements.

STOP SLIDING OF LANDS
DRAINAGE TUNNELS REPORTED AS
EFFECTIVE.
Water Committee's Engineer More
Than Satisfied "With Results Sev
ern! Petitions Denied.
At the meeting of the water committee
yesterday. It was decided not to lay a
pipe to the crematorium of the Cremation
Association. Judge Northup's request for
special rates for water for the Hobart
Curtis was denied. The matter of laying
a pipe In Twenty-fourth street, from
Thurman to the St. Helen's county road,
was referred to a special committee, with
discretionary powers. The meeting wa3
presided over by C. A. Dolph, and Messrs.
Raffety, Scott, Teal, Knapp, Therkelson,
Carson and Hill were present.
The operating committee submitted a
report of the operation of the works for
the month of January, showing receipts
and disbursements as follows:
Cash receipts for water $22,759 15
Disbursements 2.678 93
Remainder paid to Treasurer.... 520.0SO 22
In repard to the request of the Portland
Cremation Association for a pipe line to
be laid to its crematorium, the construc
tion committee reported that they could
find no street graded or even marked out
from the main In Mllwaukle street to the
crematorium, nor could It be ascertained
what amount of revenue would be likely
to be derived from the proposed line.
There Is a fine spring of water on the
grounds, which would probably be utilized
to some extent. Under these circum
stances the committee recommended that
the request be not granted, which report
was adopted.
In regard to the request for a pipe line
In Twenty-fourth street, from Thurman
street to the St. Helens county road,
Messrs. Raffety and Ladd reported that
the street was graded and sldewalked and
the work of macadamizing It had been
begun, but that there were no houses
along the street to take water, and they,
therefore, could not see their way clear
to recommend the laying of the pipe.
A petition from a number of household
ers In the vicinity was presented, asking
for the laying of the main In Twenty
fourth street, and agreeing to connect
service pipes with It and take water reg
ularly. D. Dunbar also appeared before
the committee and stated that he had
ftve cottages on the Verstecg tract, and
had laid a pipe at his own expense to sup
ply them with water He wished to erect
several more cottages there, and was anx
ious to have a water supply. As the Chap
man school. In that neighborhood. Is with
out water for fire protection, the commit
tee was ot opinion that this lack ought
to be remedied, and that if a main was
laid In Twenty-fourth street. It should be
larger than four Inches. The matter was
therefore referred back to the construction
committee, with authority to act. and to
lay such sized pipe as might be necessary
to furnish fire protection for the Chapman
school. If It sees fit.
The request of Judge Northup for spe
cial rates for water for the Hobart-Curtls.
which had been laid on the table at the
last meeting, was taken up and discussed,
and finally Mr Teal moved that the re
quest be denied, which motion carried.
Work on the Drnlnnsje Tnnnels.
Engineer D. D Clarke submitted the fol
lowing very encouraging report In regard
to the progress and effect of the drainage
tunnel:
Since my report of January 15. the work
has been begun upon the branch tunnel
running In a northwesterly direction from
shaft No. 1 towards shaft No. S. near
the northern limit of the sliding ground.
The total length of branch tunnel com
pleted to date I" 1S9 feet.
The material excavated has been prln
claplly broken rock of small size, mixed
with clay quite firm, but not so solid
as to prevent good progress being made
with the work. So far but little water has
been found In the branch tunnel, a small
trickle along bedrock having been found
at a few points.
Work on the main tunnel has been prac
tically suspended during the past month
In order to give a little time for the
water to drain away. One crew has been
employea for a few days opening up a
connection with shaft No. 11, In order that
the excavated material might be hoisted
to the surface through that shaft when
work on the main tunnel should be be
gun again. The extension of main tunnel
completed since January 15, 1901, is nine

11S4 feet.
The flow of water from this tunnel still
continues, but with a greatly diminished
volume. At one time it fell off to 45,000
gallons per day, but has since Increased
to about 70.000 gallons per day.
The total quantity drained away since
my former report will approximate 2,900.
000, making a total drainage since Oc
tober 20 approximate 6.S00.000 gallons.
Part of this drainage may have been
water that has fallen upon the surface
and has percolated to bedrock since work
on the tunnel was beun, as appears prob
able from the Increase noted since the
recent storm, but the larger part of the
volume no doubt represents water stored
in the deposits of loose rock which Is now
being permanently drained away.
The flow of water from shaft No. 11,
which I reported on January 15 as being
at the rate of 1C3.000 gallons per day.
continued at about tho same rate for
several days, but on the 20th Inst. It had
diminished to about 150.000 gallons per
day. At this time a mixture of quicksand
was detected In the water, and this flow
continued for several days, resulting In
a deposit of 100 cubic yards or more of
sand at the lower end of the tunnel. This
sand came from the upper end of the
tunnel, where a large-sized cavity was
found adjacent to shaft No. 11. The re
moval of this material resulted a day or
two later In a break appearing at the
surface of the ground. This hole, which
was approximately 20 feet in diameter and
18 feet deep, has since been filled.
On th 26th ult. it was found that sur
face springs near shaft No. 8 were being
darined. and also that there was quite a
constant though slight lowering of the
water level In shafts Nos. D and 14, sit
uated to the south and southwest of the
end of the tunnel. These indications are
all favorable, as they show that the
tunnel Is producing some effect beyond its
Immediate vicinity.
Since the first of the present month the
regular survey of the movement lines has
been completed, and I am pleased to state
that a gratifying decrease In the move
ment can be noted. The average move
ment for the month of January Is onS
about one-third of that for the correspond,
ing period during the years 1S99 and 1900.
and but slightly In excess of that for the
previous month of December, or less than
0:02 feet. In former seasons the maximum
movement has usually continued during
the month of February and March, and.
therefore. It cannot be expected that the
movement will diminish entirely until af
ter the end of the rainy season. It Is cer
tainly very encouraging, however, to note
the slight movement which Is now tak
ing place, as compared with former sea
sons, the only reason which can be as
signed for this improvement being the
good work which the drainage tunnel has
already accomplished. Respectfully sub
mitted. D. D. CLARKE.
Engineer.
Fenciue the "Sllrtlnc" Lnnils.
Mr. Teal brought up the question of
fencing the tract of land on the hill side
west of the reservoirs bought by the com
mittee, which will eventually form a part
of the City Park. The land lies open now,
and is run over by cattle, and tho trees
and shrubbery are being cut down .and
destroyed. It was the general opinion
that, In view of the fact that the tract
would probably become a park, the trees
and shrubbery ought to be protected, but
as there appeared to be some obstruction
In the way of this, the matter was re
ferred to Messrs. Teal and Ladd tor In
vestigation and report.
EVENING OF "LOHENGRIN."
Deltghtfnl Song Recltnl Given by
Anton Schott.
"Lohengrin" was given last night by
Anton Schott In a song recital at Bishop
Scott Armory. Herr Schott was In excel
lent voice and sang the music of the
swan-knlght with much feeling. Miss
Keba Hobson, of Astoria, took the part
of Elsa. her fresh, clear soprano lending
Itself to the role admirably. The fateful
scene of the third act In the bridal cham
ber when Elsa breaks her promise and
questions Lohengrin concerning his name
and ancestry was rendered with delicacy
and power of a high order: the low, sor
rowful notes sung by the bridegroom as
he stood, over the fainting Elsa, with
Telramund dead at his feet, were full of
pathos. Mr. Vannod sang the part of the
Kins, a role to which his voice is well
suited. He was warmly received by the
audience, receiving an encore In the third
act. His explanations added greatly to
the enjoyment of those present. A de
lightful Innovation was that Introduced

The City & Suburban Railway Company have

They will ask the Board of Public Works to
decide what rail they are to use In doing so.
I hand you herewith letters from several dif
ferent cities relative to the different styles of
rails used. I am informed by the City & Sub
urban peoplo that they desire to lay a heavy
"T" rall. While It ls my opinion that the
English grooved rail is the beat rail when

of the opinion that the "T" rall that the
City & Suburban Company desires to lay Is
sufficient for any streets we have, and from

of the cities have adopted this T" rall. In
stead of compelling the railway companies to
put down the grooved rail.
I am Informed by the City Engineer that he
will not consent to any rall except the Eng

that this rail ls so expensive that their com
pany wiy not consent to put it down. As tho
roaiter of deciding what kind of rail they can
lay belongs to the Board of Public Works. I
respectfully request that you give this matter
your Immediate attention and decision, as it is
important that this street be relald as soon
as possible, as It will take quite a long time
to get the rails here after they are ordered.
