VISIT THE OIL TANKS
City Officials Inspect. Stand
ard Oii Plant,
TWO PLANS ARE CONSIDERED
Company Proposes to Move to aa.
Albino. Gulch Gouncllmen Sug
gest Building of a Thirty
Foot .Fire-Wall. L .
The question of the. oil tanks has been
taken up seriously by the Common Coun
cil and two modes ofisettlement are under
consideration. The company proposes
to move the tanks to a. gulch in Alblna
rather than build a 20-foot brick wall
around them according to a suggestion
that found favor with many of the Coun
cllmen. Yesterday morning tho following city
officials Inspected the Standard Oil plant
with a view to getting Information:
Mayor William City Engineer Elliott,
City Attorney MfcNary. Chief of the Fire
Department CanSpbell, Fire Commissioner
Davcy and Councllmen Albee, Bentley.
Cardwell, FlegeU Foeller, Sharkey and
Slgler. They were met by 3Ir. C. A.
Watson, of San .Francisco, manager of
the plants of the company, and Mr.. Flan
ders, the local agent.
The Investigating committee were shown
all over the grounds and examined with
care the whole situation of the ianks.
The various points about tho present lo
cation were gone over and discussed
freely by the city ofilcials and the repre
sentatives of the Gil Company. The com
pany's proposal as stated by Mr. Watson
and Mr. Flanders amounted to this: An
option had been secured on a tract of
land In Alblna belonging to Captain
Spencer. This tract, five acres In ex
tent, lies below the level of tho adjoining
property on Vancouver avenue, Broadway
and Hancock streets. By .grading this
could be reduced to a uniform level .of
20 feet below the general level, and thus
all danger of the oil spreading in case
of 'Are would be obviated. Here the main
oil tanks would be placed and a pipe
line run to a small supply tank retained
at the present location. To several
this seemed to be a possible plan of
the Standard Oil Company to get a larger
franchise and more ground. They are
crowded as It Is and the plant will have
to be enlarged to keep up -with their in
creased business. At present they ship
.100,000 cases of white water oil a year.
Mr. Flanders stated that his company
was willing, to consider any reasonable
proposition and to abide by any reason
able restrictions tho city might make, but
he suggested that it would be out of the
question for tho Standard Oil 'Company
to consider any proposal to remove their
plant outside tho city limits as has been
urged by property-owners. This, he said,
would mean that tho company would
seek some other city as a distributing
center. At present Portland is the dis
tributing point for Oregon, Eastern
Washington' and Southern Idaho.
Mayor Williams asked: "How many
gallons of oil do you keep here?"
"All told between 400,000 and EO0.O0Q
gallons," said Mr. Flanders.
"And you would storo this oil in the
new location,, leaving none here?"
"Well," replied Mr. Flanders, "we
would remove four of tho big tanks and
leave one holding 50.000 gallons for filling
from the pipe line."
"Presumably, you would want a differ
ent pipe for each kind of oil, such as
kerosene, gasoline, and lubricating oil?"
"We had not intended to remove the
gasollno tanks there are but two and
one of them Is empty, and the nest of
small tanks containing the lubricating
oils."
"How many gallons of gasoline do you
carry?"
"Between 15,000 and 20,000 gaUons."
"Then," objected a Councilman, "you
are willing to remove four tanks of kero
sene leaving undisturbed the gasoline
tanks containing 50,000 gallons, and five
tanks filed with lubricating oil each con
taining 000 gallons."
'There Is no danger of fire from tho
lubricating oil," Mr. Flanders declared.
"It requires 30 minutes to burn through
a barrel and firemen would have half
an hour m which to fight whatever blaze
was on the floor before the oil burned.
Gasoline tanks we have especially con
structed. Thero Is a weak spot left on
top of the tank which melts In case of
fire, and the gasoline burns harmlessly,
thereby preventing an explosion. An oil
fire Is safe and easiest to handle. The
heat ascends and you can approach close
to the fire. Oil burns very slowly and
has no sparks. The firemen are not afraid
of an oil fire."
Here Chief ..Campbell Interrupted him,
"You bet they are afraid."
"They didn't act that way," said Mr.
Flanders.
"That was because it is their business
to fight fires," the Chief explained. "The
men do not say they are alarmed, and
they do their duty, but it is a dangerous
proposition fighting an oil fire and the
men know It."
"There's .not much danger If you handle
it right," asserted Mr. Flanders.
"If they" were scientific men they might
know how," added Mayor Williams.
Then the whole party was driven out to
inspect the proposed new site. After ex
amining this tho delegation returned
home. Tho result of this Investigation
will probably take shape within a month.
ANENT MR. BURRELIS CASE
Game Wnrdcn Qulmby Criticise
Action of Judge Hognc.
PORTLAND, Aug. 12. (To the Editor.)
While I am not disposed to criticise the
official acts of Municipal Judge'Hogue or
question his rights in the matter of re
mitting fines imposed upon self-confessed
violators of the law, I cannot permit the
case of W. F. Burrell, recently had in the
Municipal CourUof this city, to pass with
out a protest from this office. As State
Game and Forestry Warden I am sworn
to enforce the game and forestry' laws of
this state, and while at times, as In the
case of life-long friends, this duty is very
disagreeable, it has been my aim to en
force the law without favor or partiality.
The law 13 no respector of persons; it
.makes no exceptions, applying alike to the
rich and poor. The laws are made to be
enforced, .and not to be set aside at will
by the peace ofllcers or courts. And even
with the active co-operation of tho peace
officers and the courts it is difficult enough
at times to secure convictions.
Mr. Burrell was arrested-upon tho charge
of having In his possession' In this city
pralrlo chickens shot In Wasco County.
Whether or not ho knew the law, he was
equally guilty. He confessed to the vio
lation by pleading guilty, and was fined $15
tho lowest penalty prescribed ' by law.
The court, however, remitted 510 of the
fine, for what reason Ir- not known. Mr.
Burrell Is certainly financially able to pay
a fino of $15. This action of the court has
met with a strong protest from all the
sportsmen interested in the enforcement
of the game laws and the preservation of
our game. The effect of this fine reduction
in the case of a rich man can only be de
moralizing. It Is prejudicial to the ef
fective operation of the machinery of
game protection. It gives the poor man,
caught in the meshes of the law tho
ground for hoping for entire immunity.
He will reason that if a rich man has two
thirds of his fine remitted, he should have
bis entlro fine remitted.
In the ase df Mr, Burrell, perhaps the
best interests of tho public would have
been subserved If the highest penalty had
been imposed. The efTect would have been
salutary upon all classes of violators, and
the ruling maxim would have been driven
home that wealth is no passport to Im
munity or favoritism. Without a fearless
Judiciary our game laws must fall short
of accomplishing all that they are meant
to accomplish. I. P. W. QUIMBY,
Game and Forestry Warden.
SHOT FROM AMBUSH.
Cebn Coaching: Party I Killed and
One Man Burled Alive.
MANILA, Aug. 22. An investigation by
the constabulary to clear up the facts In
the killing of a Cebu coaching party of
four school teachers shows that tho party
was ambushed 12 miles from Cebu. Two
teachers were shot and killed at the first
volley, a third, who ran, was shot in the
back, and a fourth, who was captured,
was shot In the chest while be was pray
ing for mercy. It is suspected that the
fourth man was buried alive, as his
wound was slight and probably would
not have caused death. Dogs dug up two
of the bodies and devoured the flesh.
It is believed that sufficient evidence
has been secured to convict all the par
ties connected with the crime. The bod
ies of these teachers were found on July
24, after the teachers had been missing
since Juno 10. The police killed the lead
er of the band of murderers and captured
eight other alleged participants in the
crime. One man escaped.
Hughes Revolccs Soldier's Sentence.
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 12. Corporal
Thornton, who kept accounts for Second
Lieutenant John S. Davis, Quartermaster
of McKinley Camp, Hawaiian Islands,
was recently court-martialed and tried on
the charge of falsifying reports. The
court which heard the case decided that
Thornton was not guilty of tho crime.
But it adjudged him guilty of conduct
unbecoming his position and prejudicial
to discipline. He was ordered to bo dis
charged from the , Army, to forfeit all
pay or fees due him,- and to be confined
at hard labor for two years.
The counsel for the defense declared
that the testimony in the case showed a.
condition of affairs that permitted of lax
and careless. If not dishonest, methods.
Major-General Hughes, to whom the
court-martlal's final report and recom
mendations wore referred for approval,
has re-ersed their decision. He declares
that a condition of affairs which permits
such criticism as the counsel for the de
fense made to pass unchallengeddeserves
grave reproof. He also orders Thornton's
sentence revoked, and the Corporal to be
re-enllsted in the service.

scssion of Mnny Plants.
NEW YORK, Aug. 12. The Trust Com
pany of the Republic today completed pay
ments for all the shipbuilding plants held
under the options of the United States
Shipbuilding Company. Including the Beth
lehem Steel Company. Union Iron Works,
San Franclsso; Bath Iron Works and
Hyde Windlass Company. Bath, Me.; East

Conn.; Harlan & Holllngsworth Company,
Wilmington. DoL; Crescent Shipyards,
Elizabeth port, N. J.; Samuel L. Moore
Sons & Co., Elizabeth, N. J., and the
Cdnda Manufacturing Company, Carteret,
N. J. This consummates the transaction,
and the business organization will begin
at once by concentrating In different yards
different types of vessels and Introducing
economies which are expected to result Jn
Increased profits over those of the inde
pendent companies before they were
brought together. Daniel Leroy Dresser,
president of the Trust Company 'of the
Republic, says:
"There have been no negotiations what
ever between VIckers, Maxim & Vlckers
and the United States Shipbuilding Com
pany." Mr. Nixon was asked as to the report
that the new company had acquired the
Vlckers, Maxim' & Vlckers plants in Eng
land. He said:
"Our desire is to put American ship
building establishments on such a. basis
that wo can build foreign ships here. No
steps looking to taking in English plants
have been taken1."

ized by Lewis Nixon. Tho price paid is
said to be about $450,000.
ANNEXATION MUST BE SOON
Cuban Says Natives Will Oppose Step
When Prospcrons.
LOUISVILLE, .Aug. 12. "Unless Cuba
is annexed to the United States within a
year it never will be," said G. Castellanos,
of Havana, who was here last night. "If
the United States wants the Island, now
Is the time for it to get It. The peo
ple are poor, and there is no demand for
the sugar and tobacco, the principal prod
ucts. The failure of Congress to adopt
the reciprocity resolution was a great
blow to the island, but we think we shall
find a demand for our sugar In Europe.
When this is done our people will become
prosperous, and all will oppose annexation.
But now, with hard times staring them In
the face, a great many Cubans favor an
nexation. This is especially true with
the wealthy classes. They want to sell
their products, and realize the benefits
they would derive personally by having an
open market. "It will take sev
eral years to bring- order out
of chaos and establish prosperity. But
when this is done the people wil be satis
fled, and will oppose any effort toward
annexatlpn.
Cnban Sugar Exports.

gar on hand. The figures for the corre
sponding date of 1901 show that 466,356 tons
of sugar had been exported and that there
were 213,585 tons on band.

WORK ON CITY DREDGE
WILL BE FINISHED WlTlilS OXE
3IOXTH.
Machine "Will Be the Most Powerful
in America Controversy Over
Main Engine.
The big 30-inch dredge of the Port ot
Portland will be finished In about a month.
It wlu bo the most powerful dredge in the
United States, and will be a machine of
which the city may well be proud. It is
now at the shops of the Willamette Boiler
Works, on the water front. "Wo expect
a few hitches In the working of the dredge
at first." said Engineer Lockwood, yester
day, "as Inevitably occur in the Initial
operation of a big machine like this, but
we know the dredge will give full satis
faction after. It gets started."
The hull was built by the Portland Ship
building Company. It Is 225 feet long by
42 feet wide and will draw with all ma
chinery on board about five feet of water.
The dead welcht of the hull Is about S00
tons, and of the dredge complete, about
1400 tons.
Completion of the main engine is more
than a month overdue. According to the
contract, as the Port of Portland Commis
sion views it, the engine should have been
finished July S, and the commission will
endeavor to Impose the penalty of $125 per
day for every day after that time that
the engine remains unfinished. The con
tractors will contest pajment, and the
controversy will probably go to the courts
for settlement. Last month the penalty
amounted to $2500. This sum was deduct
ed from the amount of money that was
otherwise due the contractors, but they
refused to accept the check, and sent It
back to the commission. It Is not prob
able that the engine will be finished until
next month. This will Impose a further
permits of about $3SO0. so that the amount
of money which will be contested will be
about $7000.
The bed plates of the engine are finished
and are on the dock, ready to be put in
place. They will rest upon a massive
union of heavy timbers, which brace and
strengthen the hull amidships against the
heavy strah. of the engines. These tim
bers aro now being prepared to receive
the bed plates.
The four Heine safety boilers, each ot
350 horsepower, are In place, and are being
walled up with fire brick. They aro con
sidered very fine boilers. They will have
two stacks. The ladder Is In place, and
Is being connected with tho hoisting en
gines. The engines for operating the
spuds are nearly complete, and so Is the
engine for working the cutter. The cut
ter has not yet arrived from its manu
facturers in California. Eastern con
tractors have not yet delivered the big
pump.
The upper deck Is being equipped with
officers' and men's living quarters. They
will bo well fitted. The rooms will bo
larce. light and airy.
The spuds will be SO feet long and three
feet in diameter.
The builders are proud of their work.
The dredge Is as solid as a single block
of wood, so strongly is it braced by tim
bers In every direction.
The dredge will be able to work to a
depth of 60 feet, so that high water will
not stop Its operations. It will have three
times the working capacity of the 20-lnch
dredge, now at work at the mouth of the
Willamette. The capacity under ordinary
conditions will be between C00.000 and 700,000
cubic yards a month.
WOOD PRICES STIFFEN"
And Steamboat Owner Turn Tlieir
Minds More and More to Oil Fuel.
Prices of cordwood on the Columbia
River have stiffened in the past few
weeks. The general price on the docks
Is $2 75 a cord, but at some places wood
Is sold down to $2 50. The fuel Is very
strong and but for the threatened use
of oil would probably go tp f$. The stiff
ening prices are turning the minds of
steamboat owners more and more to oil
fuel. -
In tho next few months It la -probable
that oil will be used exclusively by sev
eral steamboats. The Iralda and the
the Vulcan will probably be the first to
be equipped with oil-burners. Owpers ot
other boats will await the outcome ot
these experiments with Interest. The O
R. & N. la considering the advisability
of using oil on Its ocean steamers. In
stead of coal. This company has three
coal-burning river steamers on which oil
fuel would alao be more economical. Ow
ing to the fact that the ocean steamers
burn better coal than the river boats,
the saving on tho former would be the
larger.
Scarcity of laborers Is the cause of the
advancing price of wood. Demand for
men Is strenuous In all quarters, and this
Is the time of year when hands are drawn
away from woodcutting. There Is said to
bo a good supply of wood back from the
river, but a dearth of men toTbrlng it
forward.
Thousands of cords of wood arc con
sumed by the river boats every month.
Of course, should this consumption be
greatly curtailed, the cordwood industry
would diminish. When asked yesterday If
this would not result In lessened traffic
on the river, a steamboat owner replied
that some other activity would take the
place of the cordwood Industry.
LUMBER. SHIPMENTS ACTIVE.
Number of Cargoes Loading; at Port
landAmazon Is Coming:.
Activity in lumber shipments continues
and a number of cargoes are loading at
Portland. The Alcalde finished loading
and Is ready for sea. She Is at the North
Pacific Lumber Company's mill. At tho
same place tho John A. and Forest Home
are receiving cargoes. The John A. will
be dispatched by the North Pacific mtils
with about 300.000 feet of lumber. Tho
Forest Home will take about 950,000 feet
of piles and lumber to Tsln-Tchau, China.
The Lakme and J. M. Weatherwax aro
at the Portland Lumber Mills, loading
for Coast ports.
The Alcalde's cargo consists of 337,000
feet bound for San Francisco.
The dapper barkcntlne Amaranth is at
Weldler's mill. She has unloaded Ballast
and is ready for. cargo. Yesterday her
crew was paid off. She will receive
about 1,400,000 feet of plies and lumber
or Chinese ports, for tho Pacific Export
Lumber Company. This compmy has
also secured the Amazon, a twin sister
of the Amaranth. The Amazon Is com
ing from Shanghai In ballast.
Tho schooners John A. Campbell and
Repeat are at Ranter, about half loaded
with lumber.
PILOTS SOUND CHANNEL,
Sinking: Their Annual Examination
Considerable Dredging' Needed.
The river pilots are engaged In their
annual inspection of the channel between
Portland and Astoria. They are using
the Lincoln, which the Governmont en
gineers placed at their disposal. On Mon
day a party of four pilots left down tho
river. It was composed of Captain L. A.
Bailey, Captain W. C Snow, Captain
Harry Emken and Captain W. H. Patter
son. The pilots made soundings at tho
mouth of the Willamette River, at Reed
er's and a number gf other places. Cap
tain Bailey left the party at Rainier, and
the others proceeded to. Astoria.
The river channel Is In fairly good con
dition, but a great deal of work must be
done at the mouth of the Willamette.
Fireboat Committee Still Walts.
The fireboat committee of the Chamber
of Commerce Is still waiting for the O.
R. & N. to . act. When this company
announco what sum of money it Is willing
to advance for the fireboat the commltteo
will work for other subscriptions to tho
lund, beginning with tho large owners
of proptrty on the water front. The aim
Is to build with the fund subscribed a
boat whfqh the city will buy next year.
When the Legislature gives power to the
city td acquire a fireboat, the money ad
vanced will then be returned to its sub
scribers. A Seattle firm has proposed to build a
boat like the Snoqualmle,, at that city,
for $45,000. This offer is receiving the at
tention of the committee.
Steamship Elba in Port.
The German ship Elba, which arrived
at Astoria Monday afternoon, reached
Portland yesterday morning. She is
moored In Alblna. The vessel comes In
water ballast and will load wheat, flour,
lumber and canned goods for South Af
rica. The voyage of the Elba was un
eventful except for the fringe of a ty
phoon which she encountered several
daj's out of Hlogo. The steamer is under
charter to T. M. Stevens & Co.

People have no idea how
crude and cruel soap can be.
It takes off dirt. So far,
so good; but what else does
it do.
It cuts the skin and frets
the under-skin; makes red
ness and roughness and
leads to worse. Not soap,
but the alkali in it.
Pears' Soap has no free, al
kali in it. It neither reddens
nor roughens the skin. It re
sponds to water instantly; wash
es and rinses oft in a twinkling; is
as gentle as strong; and the
after-effect is every way good.

Ex-SenatorTtonch May Recover.
NEW YORK, Aug. 12. Ex-Senator
William A. Roach, of North Dakota, who
has been exceedingly HI here lor a long
time. Is Improving. His Illness, which
arose from tho growth of a malignant
tumor, had been pronounced Incurable,
and for da-3 he lay at the point ot
death. The knife had been used several
times without avail. Finally the
physicians ' resorted to tho X-ray
treatment. A tube was Inserted
in the incision made by tho former ope
ration, and through this the X-ray was
applied to the affected part. The at
tempt was made to dry up the tumor,
which the Burgeons had failed to remove
thoroughly with the knife. Gradually
the dangerous symptoms have lessened,
and at last there Is genuine ground for
hope.
