HOOD SHIRTS MAY BE TELEPHONE WAR EASTERX CAPITAL IiOOKIXG FOIl WESTERX IXVESTMEAT. Portland Company Approached on Subject of Independent Long Distance Service. It plans -which Eastern capitalists are said to have In view are carried out, it Is likely that there -will be considerable build ing: of telephone lines on the Pacific Coast this year. The stimulus to competitive service 'was given by a decision -which Judge Brown rendered in the United States Circuit Court at Boston early in the year In a case involving: the validity of the Berliner patent- on a transmitter. The court held, in the suit of the Amer ican Bell Telephone Company, against the National Telephone Company and the Century Telephone Company, that the Bell Company has not an exclusive right to the use of the transmitter and receiver employed in telephonic coversation. East ern papers said at the time that the effect of the decision -would be that capital -would become available for investment In lines Independent of the Bell Company. The first hint of extensive competition, so far as Portland Is concerned, Is contained In the following dispatch received yesterday in the Associated Press report: "Warren, O., April 2C Warren and Youngs ter n capitalists, who now own the independ ent telephone sjstem at Seattle, Wash , will organize a company with $500,000 capital to duj the independent sjstem at Portland, Or. The same company ovns the Birmingham (Ala ) plant. The independent service at Portland Is owned by the Columbia Telephone Com pany, of which Napoleon Davis is presi dent, and John Lamont, vice-president. Both of these officers said yesterday that their system is not for sale. They professed to know nothing about the men who are I said to be backing the Seattle undertak ing, but admitted that they had been ap proached on the subject of long-distance connection for their system. '"What we are looking for," said Mr. Lament, "is a traffic arrangement for long-distance busi ness. "We cannot get this through the Bell Company, and must look to independent lines. An independent eystem is being put in at Seattle. It is the successor of the Automatic Company, which was organized several years ago. Boise, Idaho, and The Dalles, On, also have independent ex changes. "When the Seattle exchange be gins business quite a stimulus will have been given to competitive telephone serv ice, and it is likely that all these systems -will organize for exchange of business and for other purposes. Our hope is ultimately to have an extended long-distance service that will cover every point on the Pacific Coast." The Seattle corporation is known as the McGroarty Telephone System. It is owned by John Smoulter, of Wilkesbarre, Pa., who arrived at Seattle over a week ago, accompanied by T. "W. Hart, his attorney. Mr. Smoulter says the first work will be to lay the underground system at Seattle, as the franchise requires. After that, the company will reach out for the suburbs and the surrounding country. Mr. Smoul ter says that his company will build a long-distance line in Western Washington and Oregon as far as Portland, and then will devise ways and means for getting into California. The Seattle company will not have to build all the way to Portland unless it wants to spend money. Mr. La mont eaid yesterday that the Columbia Telephone- Company would be willing to pay half the cost of a line to Puget Sound In order to get into that territory. To make the business profitable, he said an independent exchange would have to be organized at Tacoma. The California sit uation, he added, is rather muddled on ac count of litigation between the Bell Com pany and an Independent company which is trying to gain a foothold in San Francisco. GAMBLING IS RUNNING. Games Being' Conducted in Several Portland Resorts. More or less quiet gambling Is going on in Portland. Officially, gambling Is closed, but as a matter of fact any person of legal age and duly sober can fin.d all the opportunity to "get a run for his money" that he desires. Naturally, the chief interest In local gambling circles centers in the Portland Club, located at the corner of Fifth and Alder streets. Visitors secured admission into the gambling-rooms of this institu tion last night without difficulty, though a man was stationed at the door. In the gambling-room was found a faro game, a roulette wheel and a crap game. Not many players were In the room, but all the games were running. Games are also running in Scott's place, at the corner of Seventh and Washington, and at Erlckson's, Blazler's and Fritz's, in the neighborhood of Second and Burn side streets. In each of these places a sort of supervision Is made of those ad mitted to the gambling-rooms, and a man is stationed at the door. Thus, in a strict sense, gambling Is not "wide open," al though the opportunity to gamble la ex tended to the public generally. This condition. It Is said, has prevailed for about three weeks. The gamblers have not been fined, nor has any other Saturday Attractions In the Cloak Room Petticoats Made of fine merceiized Sat een, with tailor strapping AQ and accordion plaited ruffle; Mf( in' black and colors; special v,-'w Taffeta Etons Black Taffeta Etons, made In the new collarless style; all fp.nr lined with silk; regular, 510; jQHj Children's Jackets Children's Cloth Reefer Jack ets in red, royal and mode, made with sailor collar and nn trimmed with braid; ages 2, Srir 3, 4 and 6; special UVJU Children's Reefer Jackets in box coat and sailor collar (f-j PP styles; red, royal, mode; j It ages 2, 3, 4. 6; special......... tKj Children's Box Coats, braid f) QT trimmed In red, brown, fjj royal, castor; special ?-"' Millinery Store New Girls' Hats Today we show a new Girls' Straw Poke Bonnet, decidedly new; In all colors; exclusive with us.

It Is said, however, that semi-occasional raids will be made by the police and the gamblers taken Into the Mu nicipal court and fined. This has not been done as yet. The authorities seem to be proceeding on the theory that the recent moral wave, which resulted in the closing of gambling, has subsided, and that the running of games will not now meet with serious opposition. It is asserted among the gam blers that the recent close-up has resulted in knocking all the profits out of the busi ness, now that tacit permission has been given to reopen. Many of the gamblers that is, the dealers, and employes who were here before the close-up have left town. LITTLE DRYDOCK ADVICE. Port of Portland Request for Sug gestions Apparently Overlooked. The Port of Portland Commission thought when It asked for opinions on drydock site, style ot construction, etc., that it would be Jlooded with suggestions from all quarters, but the mall carrier' on the Worcester block route has been giving it the go-by. But four letters have been received one from the Chamber of Com merce tendering co-operation, one from Rafferty Bros, offering a site, and the fol lowing In an advisory way: Western Lumber Company, by F. H. Hansom, treasurer. We think that this drydock should be located within the City of Portland, and below all of the bridges, and so arranged that It will be accessible for entrance, no matter what the state of the current may be. Joseph Supple, boatbullder It Is my opinion that the safest and best way to determine the best location and method of construction of an enterprise of such large proportions as this would be to appoint a committee of vessel-owners and ship commanders and practical drydock men and have them report to the Port of Portland the result of their Investigation. sir 11 1 1 Contracts for County Supplies. The,CDunty Commissioners yesterday awarded a contract for stationery to San born & Vail for $640. Wyckoff, Seamans & Benedict received a contract for a cab inet and chair, and typewriter supplies, amounting to $87, and the Anderson Print ing & Lithographing Company, lltho graphlng, $60. The bids of the Kilham tiiauonery company ana me j. jv. una Company are the same, and each will probably receive one-half. i Olympla Bock Beer, On tap, April 27th, 1901, v.
