HOSED URG HOARD OF TRADE
HOLDS ANIMATED MEETING.
SALEM, Or., Aug. H. Speclal.)-Secre-tary
George B. Cortelyou, Secretary of the
United States Department of Commerce
and Labor, has written a letter to Gov
ernor Chamberlain calling attention tb the
Federal laws relating to solicitors for
Bailor boarding-hoirass and, expressing the
hope that the Oregon Board of Commis
sioners will reject an application for a
license by the keeper of any boarding
house who violates the Federal law. In
his letter Secretary Cortelyou says that
Oregon's sailor boarding-house law has
been called to his attention, and ho re
marks that under the state law the
"Board of Commissioners has the right
to reject any application for a license 'as J
they may deem advisable. xne letter
then continues:
"The sollicting of seamen to become
lodgers, and the boarding of vessels, as
you are doubtless aware, have bee,n the
subjects of legislation by Congress. A copy
of those acts and of regulations there
under are Inclosed.
"I have the honor to bring these mat
ters to your notice in the Interests of
commerce, and with the hope that the
Oregon Board of Commissioners may deem
it advisable to reject application for a
llcenae, or renewal of the same, by the
keeper of a boarding-house who, directly
or through his agents, runners or em
ployes, may violate the acts of Congress
or the regulations lawfully made pursuant
thereto." f
The sections of the Federal statutes re
ferred to provide:
"Every person who, not being In the
United States service, and not being duly
authorized by law for the purpose, goes
on board any vessel about to arrive at
the place of her -destination, before her
actual arrival, and before she has been
completely moored, without permission of
the master, shall, for every such offense,
be punishable by a fine of not more than
5200 and by imprisonment for not more
than six months; and the master of such
vessel may take any such person so going
on board Into custody, and deliver him up
forthwith to any Constable or police offi
cer, to be by him taken before any Justice
of the Peace, to be dealt with according
to the provisions of this title.
"If, within 21 hours after the arrival of
any vessel at any port In the United
States, any person, then being on board
such vessel, solicits any seaman to be
come a lodger at the house of any person
letting lodgings for hire, or takes out of
such vessel any effects of any seaman,
except under his personal direction and
with the permission of the master, he
shall, for every such offense, be punish
able by a line of not more than 530 or by
Imprisonment for not more than three
months."
Replying to Secretary Cortelyou's let
ter. Governor Chamberlain has written as
follows:
"Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your favor of the 5th Inst.,
In reference to the statutes governing the
issuing of licenses to sailor boarding
house keepers, with lnclosures as there
in stated.
"The last Legislature of this state
passed an act creating a Sailor Boarding
house Commission and named the commis
sioners therein. If the measure as orig
inally Introduced in the Legislature had
become a law it would have resulted In
much good" in the way of purging the
ports of Oregon of the villainous prac
tices Indulged in by sailor boarding-house
keepers and their agents, but in the
course of its passage the bill was
emasculated that I do not expect any
good to result from it.
"I have every reason to believe that a
majority of the board named by the Leg
Islaturc are inclined to sympathize with
one of the most notorious sailor boarding
house keepers who has ever infested the
Port of Portlanu. In fact, the commis
sion has but recently licensed this very
man and his partners to conduct a sailor
boardlng-housc in the City of Portland.
If the suggestions contained in your letter,
had been carried out by the commission,
no such license would have ever been Is
sued, and would even now be revoked.
"I served for two years In the capacity
of District Attorney for Multnomah Coun
ty and I know whereof I speak, when
say that It Is almost impossible to convict
sailor boarding-house keepers under the
state laws for the reason that the officers
of the ship frequently connive with them
to mulct the shipowner, and it is difficult
to procure reliable testimony. The boarding-house
keepers, however, are afraid of
the Federal statutes and Federal author
ities, and I am truly glad to know that
you are personally taking an Interest in
this matter. With your vigorous and
active interference In the shipping af
fairs of the ports of Portland and Astoria
I have every reason to believe that more
good will be accomplished than can be
accomplished through the instrumentality
of the commission created by the laws of
this state.
"At any time I can give you informa
tlon upon this subject I assure you of my
-willingness to serve you.
"I have the honor to remain, yours very
truly, GBORGB E. CHAMBERLAIN.
"Governor."

OREGON CITY. Or., Aug. 1L (Special.)
"With the immense water power that

Richards, who holds the chair of mining
engineering and metallurgy in the. Massa

ton. Professor Richards, accompanied by
Mrs. Richards. Is making an Investigation
of the mineral deposits and formations of
the Western States and Alaska., in that
connection Is compiling data and gather

says only a beginning has been made in
the development of the mineral resources
of Alaska. He thinks the mining Indus

regions where precious metals have been
discovered havehardly been scratched by
the miner. On his way home by Cali
fornia he will prosecute his researches in
Nevada. Utah and Colorado.
"While in the city they visited with Mrs.
Richards' cousin. Charles W. Swallow,
and were also the guests of Mrs. Eva
Emery Dye. in whom they had become In
terested by tho reading of the Oregon
City author's historical contributions.
"The Conquest." and "McLoughlln and
Old Oregon." The visitors found that the
reading these two books had greatly in
creased their interest in all of the points
to be visited along the line of the Lewis
and Clark expedition. They Are "of the
opinion that these contributions by Mrs.
Dye will prove of incalculable value In the
advertising of the coming Lewis and
Clark Exposition.
Professor Richards was particularly Im
pressed with the excellence of the vege
table family that Is grown here, and de
clares that he never ate finer potatoes.
He was also attracted by the largo fruit
crops. The professor commented on the
undeveloped state of the resources of this
state and is convinced that unequalled
opportunities exist here for the industri
ous people of any other country or state.
He reports that the Lewis and Clark
Fair is arousing interest throughout the
East and Middle States, and he predicts
that the undertaking will prove one of
wonderful value to this section as a
means of advertising the great resources
that await development.

Portable SchoolhouscM May Not Be

OLYMPIA. Wash., Aug. 1L The con

School Directors without the authoriza
tlon of a vote of the people, is contrary
to law. according to an opinion given to
day by Attorney-General Stratton of the
State of Washington to State School Su
perlntendent Bryan. The law states that
the School Board has authority to con
tract schoolhouses when authorized by
vote of the school district, which, of
course, by Implication, means that they
have not the right without a vote.
The Attorney-General holds that a port
able schoolbouse falls within the mean
ing of the law. The practice of using
portable buildings is general In- the larger
cities of the state and It has never been
considered necessary to submit the mat
ter to a vote before purchasing such
structure.

plant at Warehouse, and will transmit
currents for both power and light to its
mill and three mines, a distance all told
of nearly nine miles. It lias taken the
