12 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1903. FILLED WITH DOUBT Legislators Consider Repeal of Portage Road Law. FEAR TO DELAY ANY LONGER Government Is Willing to Begin Con struction of Canal at Once, but Gives No Guarantee -of Continuous Work. Members of the Legislature are In doubt as to what they should do -with the port age road law. Some advocate repeal and some urge amendment. Others Insist that the Jaw should stand as it is. Still other members of the Legislature insist that they must have further information lefore they can make up their minds what is best to do. The question would not have arisen were not the aspect of things somewhat differ ent than when the law was enacted. At that time there scorned to be no prospect of early action by the National Govern ment toward building a canal below Ce lllo. But now the War Department an nounces that it is ready to begin con struction of the1 canal Just as soon as it can get right of way free of cost. Consequently the Legislature seems to face the problem of providing right of wny for the canal. If the State of Oregon, by donating right of way to the National Government, could make sure of early completion of the canal, the Legislature would probably pro vide the means without much hesitation. But members of the Legislature doubt whether such action by the State would hasten the work; at least they are not convinced of it. Moreover, they ask whether the con struction of the canal will not take many years five or six at least and whether the portage road should not go ahead as a temporary expedient, just as the Legis lature at the last session Intended it to do. The attitude of the National Govern ment, as described by Senator Mitchell and the report of the canal board of en gineers. Is about as follows: Tho War Department has money avail able to initiate the work and is authorized by Congress to begin. This sanction im plies that Congress will provide more funds when the money now in hand is spent Senator Mitchell, in yesterday's Orego nlan, said that about $214,000, the amount left from the boat railway scheme, is available for immediate construction, and that $100,000 more has been au thorized by Congress. This $100, 000 the Secretary of War may expend in contracts "for such mate rials and work as may be necessary to prosecute said improvement. In accord ance with tho plan approved by the Chief of Engineers, to be paid for as appropri ations may, from time to time, be made by law, not to exceed in the aggregate $100,000, exclusive of the amounts herein and heretofore appropriated (about $214, 000 on hand), said contract or contracts to be made for such work and materials as will materially forward and advance the completion of said project." Search for Cheaper Project. Then follows a proviso in the law that "before entering upon the work herein contemplated an examlnatlpn should be made by a board of engineers, with a view to modifying such project (Harts) in such a way as to diminish the cost there of, and if such proposed improvement can be so modified, then 3aid work, shall be prosecuted under such modified project (continuous canal, without Harts dam); otherwise the same shall be prosecuted under the existing project (Harts) as set forth in the report referred to." This law went into effect on Its ap proval by the President June 13, 1902. About three weeks ago the "Board of Engineers' made its report to the Chief of Engineers, who approved its plans for a. "modified project," and the Secretary of War did likewise. The Board succeeded In modifying the Harts project "in such a way as to diminish the cost thereof." It abandoned the Harts dam at the narrows and sub stituted a continuous canal. It estimated tho cost of the "modified project" at 54,123,000. The Harts project, estimated In 3900 to cost $3,959,371, would now entail an outlay of more than $4,126,000, in the opin ion of the Board. This Board was composed of five of Unci'1 Sam's ablest engineers: Lieutenant Colonel W. H. Heuer, of San Francisco; Major W. L. Marghall, of New York; Major Ed Burr, of Washington, D. C; Captain C, E. Gillette, of Newport, R. L, and Captain Charles McKinstry. of Wash ington, D. C. The Secretary of War and Chief of Engineers Jiave approved all the recom mendations of the Board. The recommen dation which now concerns the Legisla ture of Oregon was to the effect that construction of the canal should not be gin until the Government has secured free right of way. In pursuance of this recom mendation the Secretary of War, on No vember C, ordered that "the work proceed under the modified project recommended by the. Board, subject to the condition that no work shall be begun until the right of way and release from damages shall have teen conveyed to the United States free of cost." Cannot Afford to Buy Ground. The cost of tho "modified project," therefore. Is to be about $4,125,000. For beginning the work about $214,000 is Imme diately available and $100,000 more is au thorized for contracts. But tho War De partment has resolved to spend no part of the $214,000 for right of way, no doubt partly because expenditures of money for that purpose would so deplete the avail able funds Ciat the Government could riot, with the remainder, begin construc tion immediately. The Board of Engineers estimated that right of way, if purchased "by the National Government, would cost about $100,000. The Government must have sufficient money to procure an adequate plant, in order to carry on construction economically. For this Reason the War Department has offered to begin work on the oanal Just as soon as it gets right of way "free of cost." And inasmuch as the cost of the "modified project" is less than the cost of the "Harts project" would be, and tho War Department has authority from Congress to enter upon construction at once, Congress will supply additional fundi? as needed. This probably jneans continuous construction until com pletion. But there are members of the Legisla ture who doubt whether continuous con struction would follow. They f ar that the present agitation is a game of the rail roads to estop an "open river." They sus pect that railroad influence in Congress might hold up further appropriations and thus llelay completion or put it off in definitely. They aver that It is better to go ahead with the portage road as first Intended, "lest," as one member of tho Multnomah delegation said yesterday, "we fall between two stools." Such persons regard it as precarious to give up the portage road. Thev think that inasmuch as the projected road has brought the canal nearer realization, the actual, road can bring it even closer. Three lawmakers of this tj-pe are State Senator T. H Johnston, of Dufur; Repre sentative E. H. Test, of Ontario, and Rep resentative Burgess, of Bake Oven, Wasco County. Should Provide Canal Right of Way. Members who advocate amendment or repeal of the portage law differ consider ably in their opinions. They are agreed, however, on this one point: the Legisla ture should provide right of way for the canal. They say that when once the Na tional Government -has undertaken to build the canal it will not turn back nor hesita'te. They insist, therefore, that Ore gon should embrace the opportunity of drawing the National Government Into the work. They argue that unless the state acts quickly the canal may be long delayed, owing to Congressional neglect or to the evident desire of that body to economize. Some think that all of the $165,000 ap propriated for the portage should be made available for the canal right of way; others that only a part of the $165,000 should be devoted to that purpose, and that the remainder should be returned to tho state treasury. Some believe that the state appropriation should be in creased to a sum which will bo sufficient to acquire right of way both, for the portage road and for the canal. Others aver that this plan is imprac ticable, because the portage rood would Interfere with construction of the canal, since the surveys of both follow the same lines in many places. The portage road might be built out of the way, but th'at would augment the cost above $165, 000. It might be maintained while the Government was building the canafc but that would be expensive. There are persons who argue that $165, 000 is insufficient in any event; therefore, tho appropriation should be increased or repealed. They Insist that the state will have to pay heavy damages to the O. R, & N. and that the appropriation will be so depleted thereby that construction of the' road will be impossible. Those Who Favor Change or Repeal. Among trfe legislators who advocate modification or repeal of the portage law are Representative C. P. Johnson, of John Day, author of the law; Representative John Gill, Representative H. J. Fisher, Representative C. W. Nottingham, and Senator Alex Sweek, of Portland; Repre sentative N. Whealdon, of The Dalles, and Senator John L. Rand, of Baker City. Representatives George M. Orton and W. W. Banks have said that if the state's furnishing right of way for the canal will secure early work on the waterway, they will aid in tho amendment of the portage law to that end. Representative Dan J. Malarkey wants a safer guarantee of im mediate construction than mere approval of plans by the War Department. C. W. Hodsoh, chairman of tho Multnomah delegation, apprehends that construction of the canal would be delayed in spite of the good intentions of the War Depart ment. Need Immediate Relief. "The portage road," said Mr. Hodson yesterday, "I thought was intended to afford immediate relief. Is not the need of relief just as urgent now as when the portage law passed the Legislature? "I voted for the bill not because I was convinced of its efficacy, but because the commercial interests of Portland adro cated it vigorously. Now, I should like to be fully informed if the commercial interests of this city are of changed opinion. "I should like to hear from commer cial organizations and from business men. If they will look into tho matter they will help out the Legislature, for really wo members of that body are representa tives of opinion; nothing else. Mean while, I shall do my best to learn the facts. "If the present law is to be amended, why? How soon would the canal be built-five or thirty years? How long would the money now available to the War Department last? What chance is there of getting more money from Con gress to finish the canal? What if Con gress pursues a policy of severe economy in the next few years? " "No, I shall not announce an opinion on any of these questions, for I haven't any. When I get sufficient information I shall decide what I think is best to do." PURPOSE NOT YET SERVED. Senator Johnston Does Not Agree With Author of Portage Bill. THE DALLES, On, Nov. 23. (Special.) When interviewed today on the subject of the repeal of the portage road. Sen ator T. H. Johnston, of Dufur, said: "I cannot agree with Representative Johnson that the portage railroad bill has served the purpose for which it was intended. It was Intended to reduce the freight rates of the O. R. & N. Co., and railroads terminating in Puget Sound, and to bring to Portland the produce of the Inland Empire that belonged there and to give relief to the producers of Eastern uregon. it will be many years before the canal is built and the portage railway will repay the cost of building many times over before the canal is completed. "As to there not being room for the portage railway and the canal, I know the situation as well as anybody except the engineers, and the portage railroad will not interfere with the building of the canal, but might help in transporting freight for the same. "I think that any attempt to repeal the portage railroad bill or use any of the money to buy the right of way for the canal would be a great mistake. The peo ple of my district will willingly help raise the money for the right of way for the canal if needed " GALE MAKES CARS BTJH" WILD. -Germans Are Not Only In Collisions, but Suffer Heavy Damage. BERLIN. Nov. 23. The high winds which have been sweeping ovor Ger many for 36 hours, accompanied by a heavy rainfall, continue to delay traf fic and Interrupt telegraphic communi cation, and have caused several rail road accidents. At Schlechtburg the wind started several freight cars which were on a switch, their speed acceler ated rapidly, and finally they ran onto the main line, where they collided with an express train. No one was badly hurt. The Hamburg-American line steamer Deutschland during the storm Satur day tore out the piles to which she was moored while unloading at Hamburg and went adrift. The mooring chain and the piles struck the vessel and broke a plate forward. She is now at Cuxhaven, and will so to Kiel or Stet tin for repairs. A gasbouse was blown ud bv llcht- ning. The afternoon's reports show the storm damage to be extensive. Fac tories, chimneys and roofs weer blown down throughout the central western districts. Heavy copper plates were blown off the red tower at Halle, on the Saale, and workingmen's tenements were unroofed. The Prince Bismarck mine, near Brunswick, caught fire during the storm, and 70 worskingmen were with difficulty saved, many of them being badly burned. A house fell near Blel field, burning three maons. One of them was mortally hurt. There were five severe accidents, one of them fatal, by the falling of a chimney near Han over, where the tower of a Catholic church was demolished and the" roof half destroyed. Body of Fever Expert Sent Home. LAREDCs Tex., Nov. 23. The body of Dr. E. D. Murray, the well-known yellow fever expert and dean of the Marine Hos pital Service, who died here yesterday from injuries received in a runaway ac cident, was shipped today to Bluffton, O., for Interment. Dr. Guiteras, also widely known as a yellow fever expert, and who was with Dr. Murray at the time of the accident, has recovered from his injuries. The yellow fever situation here is Improv ing, and with a continuance of cool weath er it Is believed that the disease will soon J disappear. WILL SAVE ONE PER CENT SCHOOL BOARD TO MAKE NEW BOND ISSUE OF $90,000. New Building Will Be Erected on East Twenty-eighth Street-New Teachers Appointed. , At the regular semi-monthly meeting of the City School Board at the City Hall last evening, the board authorized the purchase of- the block of land bounded by East Twenty-seventh and East Twenty eighth and East Couch and East Davis streets, and instructed a committee to have printed bonds to be Issued to the amount of $90,000 to cancel the remaining outstanding bonds of the Issue of 1S93. In 1S93 the City School Board Issued bonds to the amount of $100,000, bearing Interest at the rate of 6 per cent. On October 1 last $10,000 was applied on the bonded Indebtedness, leaving a balance of $90,000 outstanding. Since the payment of $10,000, the State Land Board has offered to take the bonds at the rate of 5 per cent, and the board will take up the old bonds and issue the new ones at once, thus cutting down the rate of Interest 1 per cent. The new school site purchased by the board fronts 243 feet on East Twenty eighth street, is 230 feet deep and was pur chased at a cost of $5600. Every mem ber of the board has taken a particular Interest in the new location and that por tion of the city has been visited many times by the board in its endeavors to de cide upon the most suitable location for the new school. It was unanimously agreed at last evening's meeting that the property in question ma the most suit able for the school site. At the present time the North Central, Sunnyslde and Holladay Schools are crowded to their greatest capacity and the need of another school in this district is already much In evidence. The rapid growth of) that por tion of the city has manifested to the board the necessity for a school in that section In the near future and the pur chase last night was made with, that end in vie"w. The new building will greatly relieve the other threo crowded schools in that vicinity. Tho question of the experience necessary for a teacher to teach in the Portland public schools was a topic that was talked on at length. The school law provided that teachers must have had two years' actual experience before they are eligible for a position In the Portland schools, but it was decided last night to amend that section of tho law, making it necessary for teachers to have but one year's experi ence If they have completed a course in pedagogy equal to the standard of tho University of California, or If the teacher be the graduate of a state normal school. Two positions for teachers were award ed to Misses Eva Joseph and Anna Ban field, the former to take charge of the fifth grade in the North Central School and the latter to teach at tho Stephens School. A number of complaints of poor heating facilities and the usual troubles that come with tho approach of the Winter season were received and ordered remedied in every Instance. Excuses from teachers of all forms Imaginable were disposed of by President Wittenberg with his usual dis patch, and the school bills were found to be correct and ordered paid.

The Sure Way to Rear a Healthy Girl The relation of food to comfort and health impressed an Iowa teacher who says: "After teaching school for several years I became a victim of Insomnia and night after night it was 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning before I would fall asleep com pletely worn out. Of course I lost strength and, brain Dower and became ter- i ribly nervous until I was on the verge of nervous prostration. "About that time I read an article about Grape-Nuts that convinced me that my trouble was due to indigestion, something I had never thought of before. I got two boxes of Grape-Nuts and began to use them for breakfast and supper with good rich cream. Well, the change was some thing wonderful and my health came back in bounds. "Grape-Nuts took the place of non nourishing food and I am now better in health, brain power, and spirits; sleep well and work longer and harder and never feel nervous or worried. When I have finished my school session I still feel I have lots of reserve force and energy left, and when I go to bed at night I get sound and refreshing sleep and get up early, happy as a lark. "I have had numbers of my, scholars try the food and I must tell you about one case. She was' a puny, nervous little girl and her mother told me she did not eat enough to keep a bird alive. All she wanted was candy and other trash. When I told her mother about Grape-Nuts food she followed my advice and its effect upon this child, shown In the awakened en ergy of the body and mind was simply wonderful. Her school work became en tirely satisfactory and she gained in bodily strength, lost all her nervousness, and soon became a rosy, chubby young miss." Name given by Postum Co., Bat tle Creek, Mich.
