RestaurantProprietors Comply
With Law.
LITTLE TRADE WILL BE LOST
For the Evils of the Saloon Box the
Restaurant Men Say They Will
Be Compelled by Ordi
nance to Pay.
Many thousand dollars" -worth of parti
tions in the saloons and restaurants of
the city will be torn down if the City
Council passes the anti-box ordinance, re
commended by the Joint citizens' and
Council committee. The principal suf
ierers naturally will be the big restaur
ants which have made a specialty of their
private box dinners, such as Richards',
Xruse's, the Louvre and the Quelle. Some
of these -have dozens of "boxes fitted with
chairs and little dinning tables, and one
restaurant has boxes on two different
floors.
What to do with the vacant space will
bo a serious Question. Some of the
restaurant-men expressed their intention
of allowing it to remain unoccupied or
turning it into store-rooms. Few of the
proprietors affected seemed to fear the
effect of the proposed law on the receipts
of their business and pointed to the fact
that while a law, if strictly enforced,
jnight alter the form of people's vices and
amusements, it could not alter the char
acter of them.
"There is plenty of law now to put all
undesirable boxes and all disreputable sa
loons out of business," said one restaurant-man
yesterday, "but the laws are
not enforced. If the City Council would
Bee that licenses are revoked as provided
In the ordinances and would insist that
the laws now in existence should be ob
served, we would need no more legisla
tion. But they- won't do that. They
would sooner make more laws."
T. I. .Richards, proprietor of a large and
well-known cafe, was very considerate of
Ihe feelings of the people who framed the
Slew law. "If the community says that
I shall take my boxes out of my restau
rant," said he, "I will be quite cheerful
about complying with the law. A restau
rant llko mine does not depend entirely
on the box trade, although It is an ad
junct of the business. I have a hotel and
ETill-room patronage, which of Itself Is
quite sufficient to sustain the house."
Mr. Richards found some consolation in
the fact that the proposed ordinance is
aimed at the lowest class of saloons,
rather, than at legitimate restaurants.
"Boxes are llko anything else. If they
are properly conducted there is little that
can bo said against them. They are a
result of a .demand, not the cause of it.
Take away the boxes and the demand
Btlll remains, and It will crystallize Into
something else. In cases like the present,
the legitimate houses always have to suf
fer for the sins of some place which
has been allowed to violate existing laws
with Impunity."
Mr. Richards also took exception to the
general suspicion which attaches to all
box trade. "I think." said he, "that the
general public would be surprised to
know how little the clandestine box
trade amounts to. Most of the restaurant
hoxes are used by parties of two or more
men who wish to cat and talk in private,
by families who don't care to take their
children into the main dining-room, by
married couples who don't wish to dress
up to the point where they are satisfied
to appear in public, and for other legiti
mate purpose. Still," concluded Mr.
Richards, "It doesn't matter. I'm runnjng
u restaurant. I'm not making the laws.
As long as they don't pass a law pro
hibiting people from eating, I'm satisfied."
The proprietors of the Quelle, Kruso's
nnd "Watson's restaurants, were all of the
samo opinion. Each of them disclaimed
any vehement opposition to the law, and
remarked only upon the expense which
would be entailed In altering their exist
ing arrangements. They said also that
tho box trade which the new ordinance
proposes to restrict was not to be found
In their restaurants and did not exist
outsido the saloons.
OYSTERS AT YAQUINA BAY.
Carload of
Eastern
Planted.
Bivalves Is
Yaqulna. Bay is to become famed as a
producer of new oysters. A carload of
Eastern bivalves has just been planted
there. H. G. Van Dusen, Stato Fish
Warden, returned yesterday from tne
oyster beds and told about it.
"A new industry has been started in
Oregon." said he. "There i3 every reason
to believe that Yaqulna will soon become
as famous for Its new product as is Toke
Point. And Yaqulna's success will un
doubted' bring Coos Bay and other Ore
gon bays Into the samo Industry."
That tho Eastern denizens wil thrive In
their new homo Is evidenced by the 6turdy
growth of specimens transplanted from
the Atantlc seaboard in November, 1S96,
wnen H. D. McGulro was Fish "Warden.
Tho oysters then introduced to Oregon
waters, 23 barrels, have been growing
over since, but do not propagate. "When
planted nearly eight years ago they were
about tho size of a half dollar. Since
then they liave expanded to prodlgous
tlzc. Tho specimens brought back by Mr.
Van Dusen yesterday were about flvo
Indies long by tnreo Inches wide.
Tho oysters spawn sure enough, but the
spat succumbs to adverse conditions of
Its new habitat commonly supposed to bo
roldncss of the water. At any rate,
Yaqulna Bay, llko "Wlllapa or Shoalwater
Bay, is not adapted to propagation of the
Eastern oyster, though tho imported bi
vale itself seems to rejoice in the new
iiome.
Consequently It will be necessary con
stantly to plant tho Yaqulna beds witn
Eastern "seed," as Is done at Toke Point.
Many carloads of seed are brought over
the continent from the Atlantic side to
Toke Point every year and an extensive
Industry has grown from meager begin
nings. The carload just planted at Yaqulna ar
rived at Portland Tuesday and went for
ward to its destination the next day. Mr.
Van Dusen went to Yaqulna with John
D. Wilcox, of Portland, who is president
of the company which is making the ven
ture. Said Mr. Van Dusen yesterday:
"Tno oysters arrived in good condition
nnd were all planted yesterday forenoon
The eeed is considerably older than neces
sary; in fact, the smaller and younger
would be better, but Mr. "Wilcox tells me
that they aro the best to be placed this
3 ear. They are two and three-year-olds.
Next year and in the future he will have
3 cartings to plant.
'The company alms to get the seed and
plant every year, and market tne oyster
the third or fourth year the same as the
Toke Point Oyster Company. It was to
have two cars of the seed this year to
start In with, but owing to the great
scarcity had to content themselves with
this one car. Tne oysters came from
Riverside. R. I.. And were 13 days en
route, leaving Riverside May 5."
The oysters planted at Yaqulna in 195
attained" their full growth four years ago;
since then the shell has simply thickened
and grown heavy. Though the month of
May does not contain tne letter "R" In Its
spelling, the specimens exhibited by Mr.
Van Dusen were In excellent conditian
ior the epicure. The oysters have been
under the supervision of the State Biolo
gist for experiment purposes and under
the immediate care ol George King:, of

EHDEPEHDENTS TIRED OF FIGHT
Booking Agency Is Dissolved-Colum-bla
Theater Will Go Ahead.
NEW YORK. May 20. The Inde
pendent booking agency formed two
years ago to oppose the syndicate
which controls practically all the
leading theaters east of the Rocky
Mountains has been dissolved. Papers
to this end were signed and the Inde
pendents will hereafter look, after
their booking as Individuals.
The foregoing dispatch Is of con
siderable local interest, in view of the 1
fact that the Columbia Theater, now
under construction here. Is to form
one of the Important links in the chain
of Independent theaters on the Coast
which are closely identified with the
Independent movement in the East.
According to J. P. Howe, of Seattle,
who is the head and front of the inde
pendent movement on the Coast, and
Manager "Welch, who is to manage the
new Portland house, the dissolution of
the New York Independent booking
agency will not in the least affect the
fortunes of the Columbia. They assert
that the action of the Eastern inde
pendents has been contemplated for
some time, that they were prepared for
the announcement and that their plans
will in no way be altered. The thea
ter will bo pushed to completion as
rapidly as possible and a full season of
bookings will be made.
The leaders in opposition to the so
called theatrical trust have been Da
vid Belasco, Harison Grey Fiske and
James K. Hackett, and they were the
directors of the agency which went out
of business yesterday. Belasco con
trols Mrs. Carter, Blanche Bates and
Henrietta Crosman. Fiske directs
Mrs. Fiske, his wife, and Hackett him
self and Isabel Irving. Their action in
dissolving would seem to indicate that
they had tired of the fight which they
have been keeping up for several years
against Klaw & Erlanger aild their
allies. The independent representatives
here say that the Columbia already
has enough llg attractions secured for
next season to keep the doors open for
20 weeks, including such stars as Mrs.
Fiske, Blanche Bates and Mrs. Carter,
and that the fight on the Coast will be
continued regardless of the Eastern
situation.

ALL THE NEWS AND CUSTOMARY DEPARTMENTS.
WATER ON FRONT STREET
TWENTY-SIX-FOOT STAGE
LOOKED FOR.
IS
Upper Rivers Are Beginning to Rise
-Plenty of Snow In the
Mountains Yet. y
From all information that can be ob
tained as to the amount of snow still
in the mountains at the headwaters of
the Columbia and Snake Rivers, It is
safe to say that the river at Portland
next month will be on a level with Front
street. Any thing further than that is
purely guess work. Some old-time" river
men predict that the flood win equal that
of 1876, when about 2& feet of water
stood on Front street, while others ex
pect a still greater flood. Another sec
tion of the water-front community be
lieves there will be no flood at all, basing
its calculations on the immense amount
of water that has run off in the last few
weeks.
As opposed to these guesses, the data
collected by the local "Weather Bureau
show that, with the customary tempera
ture in the next two or, three weeks, the
"Willamette at Portland should reach a
stage of 26 feet, which will put It level
with the surface of Front street. Tho
weather, however, may not be of the
"customary" kind and the freshet in the
Columbia may exceed or fall below ex
pectations. In ordinary times, when the
weather Is warm at Portland, it Is even
wanner east of the mountains. Conse
quently, the present spell of warm, set
tled weather here is likely to be accom
panied by much melting of snow in the
mountain region.
Yesterday's reports from all the up
river points showed the streams to be -rising,
though only at Bonner's Ferry was
the change marked and there the Koo
tenai came up LI feet. The observer at
that point a few days ago declared that
all the snow was gone, but "yesterday's
climbing waters caused him to change his
snowfall report. Other points on the Up
per Columbia and mala tributaries re
ported the following rises: Newport, two
tenths of a foot: Northport, six-tenths;
"Wenatchee, half a foot; Pasco, two
tenths in trip nnllimhfn anri tho camn In
the Snake. Umatilla also recorded two-
tenths of a foot rise and The Dalles four
tenths. At Snake River points, Rlparla re
ported four-tenlhs, Lewiston, two- tenths
and "Weiser, three-tenths of aWoot rise.
The "Willamette at this point yesterday
registered 17.5 feet, a rise of three-tenths
of a foot in the past 24 hours. -According
to Forecast Official Beals' reckoning, the
river will stand at 18.2 feet Monday, 1S.6
feet Tuesday, 19 feet Wednesday and a
week from today will reach the '20-foot
stage.
OIL BURNERS A SUCCESS.
Captain Groves Satisfied With Work
of Dredge Columbia.
Captain Groves, superintendent of Port
of Portland dredges, says the oil-burning
apparatus recently Installed on the dredge
Columbia could not be Improved upon.
It has been given a thorough test In the
past week and has done all that was
claimed for It by the "expert who put It
In. Not only ca all the power that Is
desired be developed, but steam can be
raised in a remarkably short time. In ad
dition to i the economy of expense, the
manner of handling the fuel Is a great
Improvement over the old method that
was employed on the dredge. There is no
danger of a shortage of supply, as enough
oil Is on hand now to keep the dredge run
ning for a month, and the National Oil
Company promises to replenish the supply
at any time. Tlie oil Is kept In a Port
of Portland tank barge that Is moored
alongside the dredge.
Tho Columbia Is now engaged in exca
vating a ship channel 30 feet deep and
:
f 300 feet wide that will extend from Swan J
Island to a point opposite the foot of
Pettygrove street.

DELAY IN BANCROFT CASE.
Payne Will Take Up Postmastershlp
With President Tuesday. .
ORBGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, "Wash
ington, May 20. Politics Is creeping Into
the Bancroftcase. Bad it not been for
this, the casewould probably have boen
disposed of today. PostmastecrGeneral
Payne, while satisfied that Bancroft
should be relieved, questions the advisabil
ity of forcing him out of office at this
time, when his compulsory retirement
might have a bad effect in the approach
ing Oregon elections.
Payne has long been regarded as tho
politician of the Cabinet, and looks to the
political effect of every act before dispos
ing of a case. Before he takes up the
Bancroft case with the President, he de
sires' more accurate knowledge as to the
probable political effect of the Immediate
change In Postmasters in Portland. He
said today, however, that he would pre
sent papers to the President. In a short
time, probably at the Cabinet meeting
Tuesday.
In view of the fact that all of the postal
Inspectors who have examined the Port
land office recommend Bancroft's retire
ment, and this recommendation is strong
ly Indorsed by Fourth Assistant Postmaster-General
Brlstow, In whose judgment
and honesty the President has unlimited
confidence, It Is not believed political con
siderations will sway Roosevelt.
Senator Mitchell stated before leaving
Washington today that he had not given
any consideration to the selection of a
successor to Bancroft, and does not expect
to do so during his absence. If Boncroft
Is removed before Senator Mitchell re
turns, on May 31, Bancroft's bondsmen
will have to designate a temporary Post
master to act until an appointment la
made by the President.
In local political circles it is surmised
that the new Postmaster will not be
named until after the elections next month;
In fact. Senator Mitchell has been advised
to defer the appointment until that time
by prominent politicians here. "We want
no soreheads before the. election," said
one of the Senator's prominent friends
yesterday. . "Expectancy will make all
the aspirants work hard for the Repub
lican cause."
Mr. Bancroft's restive bondsmen and
other persons in close touch with political
affairs have expected that the department
would dismiss Bancroft within a few days
and allow C. A. Burckhardt, assistant, to
conduct the office until the new Postmas
ter should be appointed.
Bancroft received Burckhardt back in
the office, after attempting t6 discharge
him, not only because he was ordered to
reinstate his assistant but also because
his bondsmen Insisted upon Instant release
unless 'Burckhardt were In the office.
Burckhardt therefore seems to be a potent
factor In the situation, for If he should
withdraw, Bancroft would face the prob
ably Insuperable difficulty of securing a
new bond.
The, contest for the appointment appears
to be between John "W. Minto and Burck
hardt. J. E. Hunt some months ago ob
tained from Senator Mitchell a promise
that if a new Postmaster should then be
named. Hunt would be the lucky man's
name. To this promise the Senator was
Induced by Hunt's many years of faithful
political service. But Hunt's candidacy
will undoubtedly encounter the hostility
of potent Republican leaders. Already,
strong Influences are working against

CONFERENCE ON PORTAGE ROAD
Open-River Convention Committee
Urges Immediate Action.
A long talk and an exchange of opinion
that was the only fruit of yesterday's
conference between the State Portage
Road Commission and the executive com
mittee of the open-river convention. .The
conferees expended ever so much breath
but the portage road was no nearer real
ization at the finish than at the start.
The committee spurred the the commis
sion to build the portage. The .commis
sion said it wished to build the portage.
The commltteer urged the commission to
bend its energy in that direction. The
commission replied that it was applying
all the energy it could. The committee
wished the commission to go ahead with
the portage independently of the canal, if
practicable; the commission did not deem
that course practicable. The committee
hoped that the commission could induce
the "War Department to permit construc
tion of the portage on the canal right of
,way. The commission hoped so, too, but
pointed out obstacles.
Thus nothing definite came of the
council. And while there was no actual
disagreement, opinions diverged consid
erably. The most serious obstacle in the way
of the portage Is offered by the canal.
Inasmuch as the waterway will occupy
the very ground which was intended for
the portage, changes In the portage sur
vey must be made. This will increase
the cost of the portage and probably
make it exceed the $165,000 appropriated
by the Legislature. By the survey of
State Engineer Hammond, a broad-guage
portage could have been built for $157,000,
but for the canal. Consequently, In orar
to como within the appropriation it may
be necessary to construct a narrow-
fguage road, as it is the opinion of tlje
commissioners tnat lr tne estimates of
the engineers exceed the appropriation
So build it.
The Open-River Association was repre
sented by J. A, Smith. F. A.' Seufert, J.
T. Peters, Judge A. S. Bennett, Judge W.
J. Mariner and Henry Hann; the State
Commission by Governor Chamberlain,
Secretary of State Dunbar and Stat
Treasurer Moore. The .meeting took
place in the Governor's ofilce.
