THE MORNING ORlSGQyiAN, THUftSDA?, NOVEMBER 13, 1902.
MAYAGREE ON TRADE
Portland Railway Co, to Ac
cept Blanket Franchise.
THE CITY WRESTS CONCESSIONS
Old Franchise to Be Revoked and
"ew One Granted Drawn Up Ac
cording: to Provisions of
Sew Charter.-
Present Seven members of the" Com
mon Council, the Maj-or, the chairman
and another member of the Board of
Public Works, and the president and
manager of the Portland Railway Com
pany. Absent by request Three newspaper
reporters.
Seven members of the Common Council,
the Mayor and the chairman of the Board
of Public "Works tangled themselves up In
a discussion with President Paxton and
General Manager Fuller, of the Portland
IRallway Company, yesterday afternoon,
and they succeeded in wresting some con
cessions from the company. The com
pany will probably accept the proposed
blanket franchise In exchange for its 18-38
year franchises, and if it does the right
to run over Ford street will be granted
to it.
The meeting, which took up thefran
'chlse matter was called on short notice.
Some of the Councllmen answered to a
notification of two hours, and some of the
most attentive members received no notice
at all. or If they did they did not attend.
Sharkey. Merrill, Sherrett and Zimmer
man were the absentees of the Council,
and Mills and Williams were representa
tives of the Board of Public Works.
The first Question which was brought
"before the meeting was. Shall reporters be
uermitted to attend the meeting?
"I see no reason why the representatives
of the press should not be present,, said
Councilman A, K. Bentley.
"aiove up to the table and be sociable,
Mr. Bentley," said Richard Williams, a
member of the Board of Public Works
"We had a very good time here yester
day, Mr. Foeller."
"Yes. from what I read in the paper,"
'dryly remarked Councilman Foeller.
"Now." said Mayor Williams, cutting
the conversation short, "the question Is,
Shall we have the newspaper reporters
present or not? All In favor will arise."
Bentley, Sigler, Cardwell, .Rumelin, Foel
ler and Albee stood up.
Councilman Flegel said there should be
perfect frdedom in discussion, and there
were some matters which should not reach
the public print.
President Paxton said that, while he had
no objection to the presence of representa
tives of the press, he looked upon the
meeting as informal and discussion should
be free. In short. Mr. Paxton preferred
the absence to the presence of the re
porters.
"I have nothing to say against the re
porters except that they -wrote up the
meeting of the Board of Public orks yes
terday," said Chairman Mills, of that
lody.
"They might be good today and drop
out matters which are of no Interest to
the public." said a Councilman.
"I do not think my colleagues will agree
to that," said the self-constituted spokes
man of the fated three.
"We'll have to take another vote on ex
elusion," said Richard Williams.
The observation was accepted tacitly
as a motion that the reporters be per
mitted to remain.
"All In favor of It will arise and remain
standing until counted," said Mayor Will
lams.
Councilman Bentley arose and stood un
til he was counted, and the others sat
until they were duly enumerated, and then
they composed their features into busi
ness-like loolcs, and then Mr. Paxton and
Sir. Fuller smiled and then the reporters
left.
After the representatives of the general
public had withdrawn, the city officers
in star chamber session again delved into
the franchise matter. During the discus
sion they learned that the holdings of the
city under the different franchise ordl
nances were greater than were previously
supposed, especially on First street, which
has stood in the name of three different
companies. These will be brought to
bear ir. the granting of the franchise.
The city found another weapon to wield
over the head of the applicant. This was
the matter of granting the Ford-street
franchise and the" application for fran
chises over streets on the East Side. Jf
the blanket franchise should be declined
toy the railway company, according to the
report that leaked out from the confer
ence. the East Side ordinance and the
Ford-street ordinance will not be passed,
In other words, the company will have to
Eurrender franchises running from 18 to
SS years in exchange for a franchise for
25 years, and drawn in conformance with
the proposed city charter. From what
the company's representatives said the ac
ceptance Is doubtful, but it was learned
later that the blanket ordinance will be
taken up and its provisions agreed to.
If the ordinance should be accepted by
the company, it will probably be proposed
ond passed at the meeting of the Common
.Council next Wednesday.
FOR COFFEEGROWERS.
Results of Commission to Be Codified
for American Republics.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12. Important re
sults achieved and conclusions reached by
the International Coffee Commission,
which recently met in New York, are
being codified by the Bureau of American
Hepubllcs, and will be forwarded soon by
the Secretary of State to several countries
Interested. After a thorough considera
tion of the existing crisis In the coffee
trade, the commission recommended
among other things the establishment of
agricultural stations in the coffee-producing
countries to stimulate the production
of the hlKher grades of coffee. These
stations, if established, are to have the
support of the government in which they
are located. The commission also .recom
mended that heavy duties be imposed on
all substitutes for coffee. It was con
cluded by the commission that the crisis
In the coffee industry Is due to an excess
of supply over demand, and it Is intimated
that the supply ought In some manner to
be curtailed.
Miss Storms Killed by nn Automobile
NEW YORK. Nov. 12. Private dis
patches received here from Florence,
Italy, announce the death of Miss Mavis
Storms, of St. Louis. She was killed in
an automobile accident. No details were
given, however. Miss Storms was to have
wedded James B. Kelly, a well-known
sculptor of this city, at Florence, on De
cember 10.
Portugal Will Not Sell Her Colonies.
NEW YORK. Nov. 12. With reference
to the report that Germany and Great
Britain Intend acquiring Portuguese East
Africa, M. Desousa Rosa, the Portuguese
Minister to France. in an interview said.
according to a Herald dispatch from
Paris:
"Portugal has not the slightest Intention
of parting with- her colonial possessions
nor any portion of thepn, either to Great
Britain or any other ptwer. Furthermore,
to prevent any possibility of error or mis
understanding I may assure you that the
British government has not made any
proposition, directly or Indirectly, con
cerning Portuguese territory In South Af
rica."

GOLD BEACH IN CURRY
AX. OREGON TOWN, WHICH WAXTS
COMMUNICATION BADLY. '
A "Section of Xo Few Resources, and.
Destined to Become nn Iiu-
poriant Center,
GOLD BEACH, Or., Nov. 8.-(3peclal
correspondence.) What's In a name? A
great deal. We all admire the glitter of
yellow gold, and a town whose name Indi
cates the shore of the ocean as a vasf
mine of precious metal appeals to our
avaricious Instincts. Gold Beach is appro
priately named. Where Rogue River emp
ties Into the Pacific Ocean a vast deposit
of sand, nag accumulated, covering hun
dreds of acres and ranging In depth from
10 to 30 feet. Rogue River passes through
a country of gold and copper ledges, and
In Its rapid flow to 'the ocean It has for
ages been wearing away the gold-laden
rock and carried the precious metal In
tiny flakes to where it meets the waves
of the Pacific Ocean, and there It deposits
the sands and -gold. A storm arises on
the ocean, 'the waves beat fiercely along
the shores and the gray sand 13 washed
away and the deposits ofrich black sand
are left. By the most laborious methods
these have been worked In the past, and
the returns to the man have varied .from
$3 to $100 each per day, and when one
spot has been uncovered by the oceau
and the gold taken out, another storm
will uncover as rich a spot somewhere
else, and another rich "find" Is made.
No one has a monopoly of these deposits
of black sand, for they are found along
the beach for miles, and all the miner
does Is to watch for the action of the
stom waves to take away the gray and
expose the heavy black sands, so rich In
gold. Whether these sands can now be
mined on an extensive scale and per
manently has not yet been fully tested.
There Is vast wealth awaiting th'e man, or
men, who can successfully do so.
la the early days Gold Beach was called
Ellensburg, but owing to there beipg an
other Ellensburg this caused confusion In
the mails, and about 1SS2 the present name
was adopted. The population In 1S34 was
about 500, as there were about 300 miners
at work on the beaches and along the
bars on Rogue River, which were very
rich. The mining boom lasted about two
years, and then the Rogue River Indian
War broke out and the mining operations
had to cease and have never been re
sumed on the same scale. Gold Beach
now has a population of about 150, but
its prospects are bright for having a popu
lation soon of several times that number.
All that Is needed is development of the
resources of the country and cheaper and
better methods o.f transportation. A rail
road along the coast would be the making
of the country.
Fisheries and Dairying.
The fishing. Interest here is important,
'employing at least 200 men during the sea
son. It first attracted attention In about
1S&3. when Riley & Stewart packed the
salmon catch in barrels. In those days
fish were very plentiful, a catch of 2000
salmon In one day being common, but
later, about 1S74, the run of salmon almost
ceased. There was not much fishing after
that until 1SS0, and a hatchery was built
by R. D. Hume, in 1SS2. Since then the
Industry has been a steady one. and from
10,000 to 15,000 cases have been put up year
ly. t. u. Hume has a large and well
equipped cannery just across the river
here, and E. B. Burns is also fishing on
the river, and from 700 to 1000 fish are be
ing caught dally.
The farming lands tributary to Gold
Beach are along Rogue River, Hunter's
Creek and Pistol River. There Is an ex
cellent opening for a creamerv at the
mouth of Pistol River. A. H. Crook has
about 1500 acres of grazlnsr land: Georee
.uawrence. coo acres; J. G. Walker, 520;
i.smert iiros., 300, and J. Codago, 320;- a
total or HU acres which would easily sup
port 400 cows, and half that number are
being milked there now. The greatest
distance any farmer would have to5 bring
the milk would be about four miles. The
mouth of Pistol River Is about 10 mHes
down the coast from Gold Beach, or 15
miles by wngon road. No doubt all the
farmers would take stock In such an en
terprise with a practical creamery man.
The mountains here are covered with
forests of fir and oak, and further in the
interior cedar and sugar pine, and there
is need of saw mills. Hunter's Creek emp
ties into tne ocean about two miles south
of Gold Beach and there are some fine
bodies of timber along the divide between
it and Pistol River, extending back about
30 miles.
Traffic for a Railroad.
If a railroad company were to be. or
ganized and construct a standard-gauge
railroad about nine miles, directly down
the coast from here, It would bring Into
market a fine grade of building sandstone,
of which there is an immense quarry at
Hunter's Cove. This stone has already
been tested by experts and pronounced
a superior article. In addition, there Is a
belt of timber just up the mountain above
the road which could be easily placed on
logging cars and brought here for manu
facture Into lumber. The machinery for
dressing the sandstone could be operated
here from the saw mill, and two indus
tries be carried on at once. The timber
land can be secured, the sandstone quar
ries can bo bought or leased, the railroad
can be built (as there are no heavy cuts
no high bridges, and it would be a level
hiul), and a railroad wharf could be built
Into the waters of the river here and
lumber vessels carrying 100,000 feet each
arrive and depart at almost any time.
Later this road could be extended on
down the coast and connect at Chetco
Bay with the railroad from the redwood
timber, and later with a through line to
San Francicsco. There are several good
locations at Gold Beach for a large saw
mill. Rogue River at its mouth" forms a nar
row bar of sand with only about six feet
of water at low stages, but at high tide
Mr. Hume's tug, drawing 7& feet, goes
through easily. If a jetty a few hundred
feet long was built by the Government,
the channel could be deepened to from 1G
to 20 feet, and Inside the bar the river Is
half a mile wide and has 20 feet of water
In the channel. The tides flow up the
river about three miles. There are sev
eral small vessels used in the river here,
and two of them have gone up Rogue
River as far as the mouth of the Illinois
River, a distance of 30 miles. .
Need of Rond to Grant's Pass.
From Gold Beach up Rogue River to
Grant's Pass Is about 120 miles, or to the
mouth of the Illinois River 30 miles. From
Glendale, on the Southern Pacific, to the
mouth of the Illinois River is about TO
miles. If a good toll wagon road were
built down Rogue River from either point,
passengers and malls could get In here
from the railroad In 24 hours, and save
two days in time. Josephine County has
already built several miles of county
wagoa road down Rogue River, and a gap
of about 60 miles remains. This could be
built for about $60,000, and I am informed
a 20-year franchise could be secured from
Curry County for the construction of a
tollroad, which would be on a water level,
never Impeded by snow, over which a
stage could cover the 90 miles In about 15
hours, and the time down the river by
steamer would be about three hours, mak
ing only IS hours; and on the return about
five hours longer. Grant's Pass Is a town
of about 3000 population, and her citi
zens would see the vast Importance to the
trade of the town to have 'a good road
down Rogue River, and Josephine County
would doubtless herself build a water
grade road down .the river, and let a
company use It for 20 years, just for keep
ing it In repair. This road would pass
through a rich! mineral country, which' at
the end of the 20 years would be so de
veloped that the road could be-made free.
There are gold and copper mines up
Rogue River, and at Agness, near the
mouth of the Illinois River, beds of bi
tuminous coal have been found of an ex
cellent quality, which could be mined. It
seems to me a man of moderate capital
might handle this enterprise, and It looks
as. though It would be a good invest
ment. Mr. Wlnsor, an old resident here. In
forms me that In 1872 he came down
Rogue River In a small boat from a place
near where Is now Grant's Pars, In 24
hours' actual floating time. He experi
enced no difficulty. He was investigating
the running of logs, and thinks they could
be floated successfully to Gold Beach, and
there manufactured lntp lumber.
Xewspnpcr Just Started.
Gold Beach has two hotels, no saloons,
three stores, blacksmith shop, livery sta
ble, carpenter shop, and a newspaper has
Just been established. The latter, called
trie Curry County Recorder, published
by August J. Krantz, lately of Astoria,
made Its initial 'appearance last week.
Although this Is tho county seat of Curry
County, It has had no newspaper for sev
eral years. The townslte Is a sightly one,
but not extensive. About a year and a
half ago a telephone line was built down
the coast from Marshfield to here. The
people would like to see the gap south to
Smith River closed as soon as possible.
The Portland and San Francisco daily
papers arrive here four days after publi
cation. With a 'railroad down the coast
The Oregonlan would reach here the
next morning after publication.
' A finely planned wagon road through
Curry County was built a few years ago
at an expense of $50,000, and with the ex
ception of one or two sections Is still a
good highway, considering the mountain
ous country through which It is built
Curry County's local expenses last year
were $7356, and about JSGO0 more was paid
for state taxes and on the county debt,
which Is about $32,000. The net taxable
property this year is $565,000, tieing an In
crease of $50,000 over 3901. Property Is as
sessed very low, and If the valuations
were doubled, It would not then more than
reach the true value, but the tax levy
would then be less than now. Last year
the levy was 32.3 mills. The levy this
year has not been made, but it would be
a" good business policy to make It as low
as possible. Capital Is needed In this
county, and a low tax levy would attract
It. Let the valuations be Increased and
keep down the levy.
Opening for Portland Trade.
E. B. Burns came to Gold Beach In 1S97.
He Is conducting fishing operations on the
river, and has a river steamboat, the
Rogue River, and a deep water vessel,
the "Copper Queen, which latter makes
trips, as trade demands, up the coast to
Port Orford and Coos Bay. Mr. Burns
has taken both these boats up Rogue
River 30 miles. The outward freight here
is salmon, wool, hides and ore. and com
ing In Is merchandise. If there wore reg
ular boats from Portland, the trade here
would go In that direction Instead of to
San Francisco, as It docs now. Parties
nere are building a sawmill to cut hard
wood lumber, which sells at from $35 to
$40 per 1000 feet. The freight charges
amount to about $S per 1000, as it is very
heavy.
Mr. Burns and associates have devel
oped a gold ledge up Rogue River about
4S miles, which promises to be valuable.
He shipped 50 tons to San Francisco, end
the returns were 54000. There is about 500
feet of tunnel work, 'and he purchased a
four-stamp mill this year , in Portland,
which Is lying 30 miles up the' river, await
ing high water, and will be put In opera
tion soon. He purchased this mine, only
four years ago. A coal ledge at the
mouth of the Illinois River is also to be
developed next year by the same people.
The sandstone deposit at the mouth of
Pistol River Js favorable for petroleum.
A Government expert from Washington,
David Day, examined the formation" a few
years ago and expressed his opinion that
oil would be found there, but no drilling
has ever been done. Cropplngs of the
sandstone cross Pistol River about five
miles up the stream, and the strata are
about a foot thick and slabs 10 feet long
can be quarried.
Timber lands are being taken up here
every day, but plenty of good timber land
still remains. A few large sawmills es
tablished would soon cause all the timber
land to be taken, as it would then be
Immediately marketable.
Land Is cheap here. I was shown an Im
proved farm on Pistol River of 520 acre3
that can be bought for $2500. It would
support 75 milch cows nicely. There are
2500 acres of timber land near here which
can be had for about $18,000. There are
250,000,000 feet of timber on It. so I am
told. I mentlqn these things to show
what splendid opportunities there are for
Investing money profitably. With the' ad
vent of a railroad down or up the coast
prices would be more than doubled on all
real estate In this section. E. C. P.
MEYER STORY A FAKE.
American Ambassador Did Xot Run
Down Child With Automobile.
ROME, Nov. 12. The statement sent out
from Florence today that United States
Ambassador Meyer, while riding in a
motor car near Pertola, had run down and
fatally Injured a child, and that conse
quently the Ambassador had been arrest
ed, Is entirely erroneous. The connection
of Mr. Meyer's name with the accident
arose from a case of mistaken Identity.
Neither the Ambassador nor Mrs. Meyer
has been absent from Rome. No further
details of the accident have been received
here, and It is not believed that any Amer
icans are involved.
Crown Prince In the Royal Gorge.
PUEBLO. Colo., Nov. 12. The special
train which is taking the Crown Prince
6f Siam to the Coast made a side trio
through the Royal Gorge of the Arkansas
as far as Sallda today. The weather
was clear, and the royal visitor had an
opportunity of enjoying some grand scen
ery. The next stop will be at Santa Fe,
N. M., tomorrow.
Good Oil Strike in New Mexico.
EL PASO, Tex., Nov. 12. Oil of the
finest quality has been struck 25 miles
from Santa Rosa, N- M., a new town on
the Rock Island Railway. The sinking
further of this? well and the boring of
others will follow. Eastern oil men who
sunk this well, spending thousands In do
ing so, believe that the region will be a
second Beaumont.

HON. T. F. MADDEN
FORMER MAYOR OF ST. IGNACE,
MICHIGAN.
Relates . an Experience Which, He
Suys, Taught Him a Valuable
Lesson.
"I have had an experience which
taught me a valuable lesson," said the
Hon. Thomas F. Madden, a former
Mayor of St. Ignace, Mich., to a re
porter the other day.
"It was 'while crosrfng the Gulf of
Mexico," he continued, "In an attempt
to recover my health, that the sugges
tion .came to me. For 20 years I had
been a sufferer from indigestion. It tor
tured me. I could not eat a hearty
meal, and even the lightest food dis
tressed me. I was treated by several
very able physicians, but grew worsa
all the time. In fact, nothing helped
me until I tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pilln.
"Chronic Indigestion had brought or.
a whole train-cf other troubles. I be
came nervous, suffered from violent
headaches and biliousness, and I think I
would have given every cent I pos
sessed to find relief. But I became
more miserable, and finally In despair
I determined to take a southern trip.
"On the steamer bound for Galveston
I chanced to see Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale People mentioned In a
newspaper article. As soon as we land
ed I purchased a box of the pills, and
they gave me almost instantaneous re
lief. If it had not been for them, I
think I should have starved to death. I
grew constantly , better, and in a short
time I was cured.
"It is now over a year since these pills
cured me. My stomach is sound and
my digestion Is perfect. I can eat
heartily of the richest food, my nerves
are quiet, my blood good, and I feel
well and strong. I have been made a
well man by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
for Pale People."
The Hon. Mr. Madden's address is St.
Ignace, Mich., and he is willing to cor
roborate the statement given above.
The power of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
for Pale People in the vast number of
diseases due to Impure blood or to de
rangements of the system has been dem
onstrated In thousands of Instances as
remarkable as his. No one who Is suf
fering can rightfully neglect this way
to restore health.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo
ple are sold by all dealers, or will be
sent postpaid on receipt of ' price, 50
cents a box, or six boxes for $2 50 (they
are never sold In bulk or by the hun
dred), by addressing Dr. Williams Med
iclne Company. Schenectady. N. Y.

HAVE YOU ANY OF THESE
Symptoms of a' Very Common
Trouble ?
There Is no disease so common In the
United States as catarrh, because It ap
pears in so many forms and attacks so
rnnnv different organs.
It Is a common mistake to suppose that
catarrh Is confined to the nose ana
throat. Any Inflammation of the
mucous membrane wherever located, ac
comnanied by abnormal secretions. Is ca
tarrh. Catarrh of stomach or bladder, pr
Intestines Is nearly as common as nasal
catarrh, and much .more serious, although
it Is true that stomach catarrn ana ca
tarrh of other Internal organs Is the re
suit of neglected nnsal catarrh.
A new remedy has recently appeared
which so far as tested seems to be re
markably effective in promptly curing
rntarrh. wherever located. Tne prepara
tion Is sola by druggists generally under
name of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, and,
In addition to being very palatable and
convenient, possesses extraordinary merit.
In many ciises giving immediate relief
from tho coughing, hawking and constant
clearing of the throat and head, those
symptoms with which everyone is familiar
who has ever sutierea rrom corns in ine
head and throat.
Catarrh Is simply a continuation of
these symptoms until the trouble becomes
chronic and grows gradually worse from
year to year.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are composed
of Hydrastin, Red Gum and similar antl
scptlcs and catarrh specifics, from which
it will be seen that no secret is made of
the Ingredients and also that no mineral
poisons are used, as Is the case with
many well-known catarrh medicines.
For catarrh of the nose, throat,, bron
chlal tubes, for catarrh of stomach, in
testines or bladder no- preparation Is so
safe and gives such rapid, and permanent
results as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
All druggists sell them at 50c for full-
sized package. You can use them with as
surance that you will not contract the co
calne or morphine habit as the results
from this catarrh cure are apparent from
tne first day s use.
