10 THE MOBNING ORE.GONIAN, FEIDAY, JAOTABY 3. 1902. PREClNCr LINES CHANGED GERRYMANDER, SAY THE POLITI CIANS, IX NEW BOUNDARIES. 1tv Not Observed la Eighth Ward, They Say Jadge Cake Dis claims Rexponalbility. The boundary lines of about 25 election precincts were recently changed by the County Court, for reasons which are said not to have been disclosed by Commis sioners Mack and Showers, who voted to adopt the changes. The law provides that no election nreclnct shall contain more than 300 electors, and there Is also a statute providing for the, re-districting of all election precincts, as may be deemed necessary, every two years. No election precinct shall, according to the terms of .the statute, contain over 300 voters, but several politicians have been heard to say that nearly all of the pre cincts In the Eighth AVard contain over 400 electors each, and that in the new division of precincts there has been much gerrymandering. Judge Cake when bpoken to upon the subject disclaimed all responsibility for any alterations in boun dary lines that have been effected. In Ward No. 1 there are now three precincts, where previously there were only two. In the Third Ward there are now five precincts- instead of four, and there is one new precinct in the Seventh Ward. The changes briefly stated, are as fol lows: Flrut Ward. Precinct 1 All territory between the center line of Pettygrove ana Thurman streets, and center line of North Twenty-second and North Twenty-third streets Precinct 2 Beginning at the Intersection of North Twenty-third street.

Though richly supplied with the neces sary raw material and generously dow ered with all possible advantages for man ufacturing, the State of Oregon, lacking population and adequate transportation facilities, cannot boast of large achieve ments in manufacturing. Conditions, how ever, are rapidly changing, and with an era of unprecedented growth and pros perity Immediately before them, the peo ple of Pdrtland, and'of the whole state, are called upon to earnestly consider the necessity of energetically pushing the de velopment of the manufacturing possibil ities of the state, which is the only sure means of making growth and prosperity here continuous, rapid and permanent. Our manufacturing industries have now completely recovered from the crushing blow dealt them by the panic of 1S93. and industries which all but went out of ex istence have been revived", and new ones established. Among old lines now strong er than ever, are lumbering, furniture, manufacturing, flour milling, slaughtering and meat packing, saddlery, fruit pack ing, cordage, marine and logging ma chinery, bar iron, linseed oil. tanning hides, cigars, boatbuilding, potteries, met als, upholstered furniture, coffee, spices and baking powders, soap, gloves, wood pulleys, trunks, clothing, uniforms and overalls, stoves, bags and bagging, art glass, crackers, wood and paper boxes, matches and brooms, and many others, in addition to which many new manufactur ing enterprises have been established. The growth of Portland as a manufac turing center, upon which its permanent growth and steady prosperity depend, rests whollv with the mass of the people. A generous policy on the part of mer chants toward new manufacturing enter prises, added to an Intelligent popular support as expressed in a demand for home-made goods, will unfailingly build up our city. A contrary policy will just as unfailingly depress its prospects. Let the merchant cultivate the pur chasing power of the multitude, taking the lead In every movement that makes for the enlargement of the manu facturing population, and for keeping up the scale of wages. Well-paid people are ready buyers. Let the manufacturer have the hearty support of the storekeeper, and he will not only push his factory to larg er dimensions, with more families drawing their maintenance therefrom, but he will pay .his men better wages. No one with money to spend does it more to the mer chant's advantage than the average Amer ican mechanic. While the Manufacturers' Association, the Chamber of Commerce, transportation companies, large property-owners, capi talists, manufacturers and leading mer chant? and bankers are working Indefat Igably to build -up Portland and develop Oregon, this work cannot be accomplished by them without the hearty co-operation of ever" citizen of the city and state. The great body of common consumers should awaken to a sense of their responsibility In the matter. As a rule they are too careless and forgetful. They do not suf ficiently support the manufactories already established and struggling for success. They do not help out Oregon by buying only Oregon-made products as they should whenever they can do so without material disadvantage to themselves. In fact, a great many people prefer an inferior im ported article at the same or a higher price. Thus thousands of consumers, most of them thoughtlessly, or with mistaken prejudices against home-made goods, are retarding Oregon's development and null ifying the efforts of public-spirited men to make Oregon a great state and Portland a great city. . Every man and woman, every corporation, every society, ought to consider it a pleasure and a duty to buy, as far as possible, only goods made In Ore gon. Then In a very short time manufac tures would flourish here, and not only this city, but all the towns of the state would thrill and swell with rapid growth and healthy, splendid, steady development. Every one of our business men should constitute himself an advertising agent for Portland. The city's prosperity means his individual advancement. The estab lishment of a new industry is an advan tage to older ventures, and the man who would expand his life and Individuality and multiply his opportunities for ad vancement and prosperity must give some part of his daily life and thought to the broader concerns of the, community in which he lives.

M0KTANA MINING LITIGATION Writ of Supervisory Control Granted the Amalgamated Company. HELENA, Mont., Jan. 2. The Supreme Court today granted the application of the Amalgamated Copper Company for a writ of supervisory control over an order made by Judge Clancy permitting F. A. Heinze to make an inspection of the Anaconda and St Lawrence properties to ascertain if, as he claims, the work in those mines is encroaching upon his ground In the Falrmount mine. C. F. Kelley. represent ing the Amalgamated, confined his efforts today to trying to secure an order stay ing that of Judge Clancy until the Su preme Court can hear arguments upon application for a writ of -supervisory con trol. Mr. Kelly claimed that the court below had made the order without due consideration of the showing made by the Amalgamated. He urged the court to grant the stay pending a hearing upon an application for a writ of supervisory control. The court granted the stay. The Supreme Court this afternoon made an order directing the Attorney-General to make a further investigation to as certain whether there was any contempt of court in the proceedings having to do with the company furnishing the big bond in the Pennsylvania mine case. The court also directed the Attorney-General to Investigate the connection of all of the officers of the Delaware Surety Company with the bond transaction. Present for the President. WASHINGTON.

PEARSONS' GIFTS TO NORTHWEST EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS. ml" - rv fi,'HH The Intimation in yesterday's dispatches that Dr. D. K. Pearsons, the Chicago philanthropist, would odd considerably to the endowment fund of Pacific Uni versity, at Forest Grove, and Whitman College, at Walla Walla, was receives with pleasure by the friends of those institutions. He has already given each $30,000. Professor W. N. Ferrln, dean of the Oregon College, was born In the same state where Dr. Pearsons first saw the. light, Vermont. Dr. Marsh, the founder of Pacific University, was also a Vermonter. Professor Ferrln was recently in the East, and he had an interview with Dr. Pearsons, which is supposed to have had tome weight In including Uie favor of the philanthropist this way. The funds of Pacific University have always been well handled, care being taken not to trench in the smallest degree on the endowment. This has pleased Dr. Pear sons, who has also been Impressed with the character of the work done, and he is very favorably disposed toward the Oregon Institution. Whlleylts trustees are grateful for past favors, and would be glad to -have the endowment still further Increased, they are not nov planning expenditures on the basis of such on In crease In resources. , Hon. W. H. Corbett was the first treasurer of Pacific University and Tualatin Academy. When he went to the United States Senate tne late Henry Failing be came treasurer. M. Falling relinquished the office a short time before his death in 1S0S. and since then F. M. Warren has been treasurer Therefore the financial affairs of the Forest Grove Institution have had the very best of management, which has been a direct benefit to the college by conserving Its funds, and an In direct benefit In gaining the commendation of such men as Dr. Pearsons. Daniel Kimball Pearsons was born In Bedford, Vt., April 14. 1820, and he will be 82 ears of age next April. Ho practiced medicine In Massachusetts until 1857. Then he moved to Illinois and farmed for three years. In 1800 he went to Chicago and engaged In the real estate business, from which he retired in 18S7. Since then he has given away more than $2,500,000 to educational and charitable Institutions, and he still has between f3.000.000 and ?4,000,000 which he declares it his purpose to divide among such Institutions before he dies. His relatives, however, oppose this disposal of his fortune, and It Is understood they will inter pose every possible obstacle way Company was granted authority t erect a. waiting-room at the Tomer of Third and Glisan streets. On motion of Gllsan It was ordered that when the meet ing adjourn It adjourn to Wednesday, Jan uary 8. This was done In order to give Auditor Devlin an opportunity to present estimates for the year which the char ter requires shall be submitted at the first regular -meeting of the year, but which, on account of the meeting occurring on the second day of January, he had not had time to prepare. Mayor Rowe pre sided, nd all the member were present except Holbrook, Merrill and Mulkey, who are In the East. The judiciary committee, to which was referred a communication from the Mayor, suggesting that steps be taken to prevent persons afflicted with smallpox coming here to be a charge on the city, was re ported back with a recommendation that It be placed on file, which recommenda tion was adopted. Bronaugh stated that the committee could find no practicable means of putting a stop to the Influx of smallpox patients. The only recourse was to proceed against the community from which such persons come; but, as the amount to be recovered In such cases was not sufficient to take them into the Fed eral cburts, it would not be advisable to commence suit. There would be but little likelihood of securing a verdict In the state courts. An ordinance providing for the time and manner of improving East Burnsidc street from Eabt Eighth to East- Twenty-eighth was passed. An ordinance declaring the proportionate share of the cost of constructing a sewer In East Eighteenth street, from East Stark to connection with the sewer in East Oak street, and appropriating 5133 there for, was passed.

An ordinance authorizing the Mayor and Auditor to Issue warrants in lieu of cer tain street Improvement warrants Issued on account of the fund for the Improve ment of East Water street, amounting to JS59, was passed.

' STEEL TRUST WELLv SUPPLIED Han Enough Coal and Coke to Last It for Years. NEW YORK, Jan. 2. Judire E. H. Ghrv. of the United States Steel Corporation, announced todiy that the properties here tofore secured by the managers of the Pocahontas coal syndicate, consisting of about 300.000 acres of fuel and coking coal, had heen sold to the Pocahontas Coal & t-oke Company, which Is controlled by the Norfolk & Western Railway Com pany, and that 50.000 acres of these lands had been leased on a royalty basis to companies whose capital stock Is owned or controlled by the United States Steel Corporation. Judge Gary said that within the comparatively near future there would be constructed at least 3000 of the most modern coke ovens with a capacity of at least 1,500,000 tons of coke, together with necessary railroads, power plants and other Improvements. The companies con trolled by the United States Steel Cor poration by this lease secured, sufficient coal to provide on the present basis of consumption for about 30 years. This, with the . Connellsvllle Coal Compmy, now owned by the company, should furnish the necessary supply of coke for upwards of 60 years, thus corresponding with the iron ore supply. . Spasmodic Emotion.

PIONEER STEAMBOATIWAN p. F. BRADFORD BUII.T FIRST STEAMER ABOVE CASCADES. Part of the Little Mary la Iadlaa Outbreak of 1856 Early Days on the River. Although he escaped the massacre which occurred near his property at the Cascades, In 1856, Putnam F. Bradford, whose death occurred at Hood River Tuesday, shared In large measure the privations and hardships which made up the dally experiences of the early Oregon pioneer. Among the Portland men who were his intimate friends are F. K. Ar nold, at whose home he often visited while in this city, and George Knaggs, of the customs service, who was In Brad ford's employ for more than 25 years. From them have been gathered the fol lowing Incidents In Bradford's career: He came to Oregon with his brother, Daniel F. Bradford, in 1850, from Califor nia, having previously made the voyage around the Horn in a ship fitted out at the time the news of the discovery of gold at Sutter's mill, reached their Mas sachusetts home. The ship which brought them from California to the mouth of the Columbia was laden with salt and shooks for salmon kits, It being their purpose to catch 'and salt down Columbia River sal mon, and In furtherance of that purpose they Immediately "transported their sup plies to the neighborhood of the Cas cades. P. F. Bradford took up a donation land claim on the Island which now bears his name, while his brother located on the Washington shore, and on his prop erty was erected the store in which they carried on a general trading business. Their first steamboat venture was the building of the steamer Mary, the pio neer steam craft on the Columbia above the Cascades, and In 1880, when the Ore gon Steam Navigation Company was formed by a number of Portland capital ists. Including S. G. Reed, R. R. Thomp son, J. C. Alnsworth, Jacob Kamm and others, they held such an advantage by reason of their control of the upper river business that they were able to dictate their own terms when they entered that corporation. The Mary, which was a small slde wheeler, was an active participant In thd Indian outbreak of 1856. Mr. Bradford was at that time visiting in his home In Massachusetts, but the following extract from him, written by his then partner. Captain L. W. Coe, and printed in the Marine History of the Pacific Northwest, tells the story of her part In the fight: The steamer Mary lay In Mill Creek, no fires, and the wind hard ashore. Jim Thompson, John Woodward and Jim Herman were Just going up to the boat from the shore as they were fired upon. Captain Dan Baughman and Thompson went ashore on the upper side of the creek, hauling on the lines, when the firing of the Indians became so hot that they ran for the woods. The fireman, James Llndslay, was shot through the shoulder; Engineer Buckmlnster shot an Indian with his revolver on the gangplank, and little Johnny Chance, while climbing upon the hurricane deck, with an old dragoon pistol killed nls Indian. Dick Turpln, half crazy, probably, taking the only gun on the steam boat, jumped Into a flatboat lying alongside, was shot, plunged overboard, and drowned. Fire was soon started under the boiler, and steam was r'slng. About this time Jesse Kempton and a half- breed named Bourbon, both wounded, got on board. After sufficient steam to move was raised, Hardin Chenowlth ran up Into the pilot house, and, lying on the floor, turned the wheel as he was directed from the lower deck. It Is needless to say that the pilot-house was the target for the Indians. As the steamer turned around and backed out he did toot that whistle at them good, and It was music to our ears. The steamer picked up Herman from the bank above; the Inman family, Shepard and "Van derpool all got across the 'river in skiffs, and, boarding the Mary, went to The Dalles. At The Dalles the Mary took on "board Colonel George Wright and troops, and started for the Cascades. By the time the Mary reached her des tination reinforcements had begun to ar rive from Portland and Vancouver on the steamers Belle and Fashion. The blockhouse fight, Lieutenant Sheridan's part In it, and the subsequent capture and punishment of the leaders of the Indians, are well known to every reader of Oregon history. In 1E6S the Bradfords sold all their in terests in the Oregon Steam Navigation Company for a large sum, and went to New York, where D. F. Bradford, whose death occurred In California in 1836, was for a time associated in business with Jay Gould and Jim Flsk. All that now remains" to commemorate Mr. Bradford's part In the early events at the Cascades is the rallless grade of the old portage railway which he and his brother built around the Cascades, the first railway In the Northwest a few ruins of log cabins, and the name which the island on which he first settled will no doubt nlways bear. He was unable to And happiness in the East, and during his declining years lived within a few hours' steamboat journey of the scenes of his pioneer days, and within sight of the course of the little pioneer steamer, Mary. WOMAN IN THE WEST, Pacific Coast Laws More Liberal Than Those of the Atlantic Coast. It may be laid down as a general prin cipal that the further West one travels the more enlightened are found to be the laws relating to womankind. Europe Is more liberal to woman than Asia, Amer ica than Europe, and the Pacific Coast of America than the Atlantic Coast. The spirit of the Far West Is generous and chlvalrlc toward woman. Oregon Is In some respects in advance of other states as regards the legal status of woman. Throughout the United States generally the widow's dower Is one-third. Oregon has increased this to one-half. The wife has equal property rights with her husband. She la quite lndepedent of him so far as the management of her own property Is concerned. She may carry on a business separate and independent of her husband. She may practice law, medi cine, or any other profession she pleases Her earnings are her separate property, not subject to the control of her husband. She may act as executor or administrator. She has the right of suffrage on school matters, and what Is more, has used it to good advantage. There are liberal and en lightened divorce laws. Apart from these, she may compel support for herself and children. She can. upon the death of. her husband, protect herself In her prop erty rights without going to court, through the doctrine of "estate in en tirety." She has equal rights with her husband in matters relating to the guard ianship and control of children. In this respect Oregon has placed itself conspicu ously on record as a stanch and loyal friend to woman. This much has man done for woman. There are few states In America in which she enjoys such untrammeled freedom to work out her own Individuality a6 here in Oregon. What use has she made of that freedom? She has been slowly learning the tre mendous force that lies In organized en deavor, and has been directing that knowledge to the solution of many vexed sociological problems. As a result of the efforts of public-spirited women, we have in Portland today, a Children's Home, a Baby Home, several free sewing schools, a Woman's Exchange, a Home for Unem ployed Women, another for self-eupportlng women, a Refuge Home, Homes for the Aged, a Woman's Christian Temperance Union, a branch of the Red Cross, which, under the title of the- Oregon Emergency Corps worked with untiring devotion dur ing the late war, sending two nurses to Manila and In other ways bringing com fort to a comfortless camp; a strong Youns Woman's Christian Association of neem m n a m mm OrrHMMT tIM IT TIM W4CTWA UaKI CO.

At present in club circles the tide is turning toward civic improvement. Port land has always had more conservatism than any of the other Pacific Coast cities. But the genial, healthy, Democratic spirit that Ignores all distinctions of class and creed, and works in harmony for the general good, bids fair to carry all before It. Organization is the watchword among women In Portland as elsewhere, for the spirit of vxcluslveness has no real abiding place in the West. Woman has larger opportunities for cul ture In Portland than one expects to find In a comparatively new Western city. Because of the generosity of a woman the 38,000 volumes of the Portland Library Association have found a home In a build ing modeled on the same classic lines as the Boston Public Library. There are Innumerable study clubs. A woman's art class has the use of the most complete collection of casts covering Greek art to be found on this Coast, besides an art library of 250 volumes, and a gallery of 15,000 photographic reproductions from Braun & Cie, Paris, of the world's great paintings. A Woman's Musical Club has been the means of bringing many great artists to this city, of fostering home talent, of furnishing good music free to the masses, and of raising this art to a dignity that It had not before enjoyed in the community. The Portland Symphony Orchestra has among Its most valued members 10 young women violinists, 25 per cent of the membership. In out-of-door recreation and athletics, there are unrivaled, opportunities for en joyment open to women, side by side with men, In such organizations as the Sketch iClub. which has been under the Instruction of leading American artists; the popular and successful Camera Club (of amateurs), whose work has won prizes at Important exhibitions in various parts of the world; the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club, which owns a handsome, well-equipped clubhouse; the Golf Club, which has a picturesque clubhouse and links overlooking the river; the John Bur roughs Society, which takes delight In the study of native birds, a new Held, the flrst book on birds of the Northwest hav ing recently been published by a club mem ber; the Mazamas, a club of mountain climbers with headquarters In Portland, Its outings to giant, unexplored snow peaks attracting well-known scientists and nature lovers from all parts of Amer ica. Hunt and riding clubs; boating clubs and houseboats on a river which, for beauty and grandeur of scenery, outrivals all the famous rivers of song and story. All these allurements Portland has to tempt woman to an out-of-door life such as can hardly fall to build up a sturdy, vigorous and resourceful womanhood. It would not be easy to find another part of the wordl where woman enjoys such unhampered freedom to work out her will In an environment that quickens Into life the highest and noblest Impulses of her nature. GERTRUDE METCALFE. Cannot Reprimand a Whole People. Chicago Record-Herald.

Neither is it sensible officers of all ranks in either service air ing their differences in public. But if he attempts to "call down" every man In the service who approves Dewey's finding of an obvious fact, or dismisses every officer who bas emulated the indis cretion of Maclay, our entire military staff will be disgraced and there will not be enough trained officers left In the navy to take a battle-ship from her moorings. As wise a man as Edmund Burke con fessed that he did not know any "method of drawing up anMndictment against a whole people." And President Roose velt may well pause before attempting to quench the blaze of popular discussion by scattering censures and dismissals through the service, as Washington dis patches say Is his Intention.
