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

official notice been taken of their opera
tions. 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.
