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.
Alleged Grafter Won't Be Prosecuted.
ST. ,LOUIS, Mo., Now 23. The indict
ment against Emll Meysenburg, once sen
tenced to three years' Imprisonment on
conviction of bribery in connection with

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
