EWER IS FAULTY
Tanner -Cneek Tunnel
Is Found Defective.
EXPERTS TO MAKE REPORT
Contractors Midnight Repairs
Arouse Suspicion. .
COUNCIL TO ASK QUESTIONS
Sixty Feet of Sewer Are Said to Lack
Concrete. Foundation Allowance
of Extra Pay for Concrete
Also to Be Investigated.
Within three or four days the four ex
perts engaged by the special Council com-
mltteo to examine the Tanner-Creek
sewer are expected to make a report. Im
mediately following this the committee will
report to the Council, and the question of
the construction of the ill-famed tunnel
will ue settled.
Samples of the materials laid in the
sewer have been taken out for analysis by
the examiners, and this has delayed the
report. While the dry weathr lasts inves
tigation must be made, if at all, and the
committee and the experts realize this
fact.
Meanwhile the rumors of faulty con
clraction grow apace. The effort mado by
E. W. Riner. the son of the contractor, to
patch up a defect late Thursday night has
added fresh fuel to the names.
It is true that Hincr made no secret of
his Intentions, and ho declares he gained
the permission of the City Engineer and
the, examining experts to enter the sower
and patch up the last section, completed
a month ago. But the Executive Board
has accepted the sewer, and the Council
men say thai no one has authority t(
enter tne tunnel ior any sucn purpose.
An understanding has long existed be
tween the Executive Board and the con
tractors, however, that though a Job Is
formally accepted, should defects become
apparent, they shall be remedied. Riner
apparently thought he could act under
this tacit agreement.
Riner Warned by Sigler.
Riner says that a side sewer was turned
into the main tube before the cement had
thoroughly dried, and a portion of the
floor was therefore carried away. To put
In a new piece of concrete flooring he
had brought his materials to the sewer
during the day, and had gathered his men
rxt the manhole later in the evening. Coun
ellman Sigler, a member of the special
committee, went to the sewer and told
lilm that should there be a lawsuit over
the assessment, his case would be greatly
injured If he entered the tunnel at that
time. Riner acquiesced, Mr. Sigler says.
The rumor which has leaked out some
how is that for a distance of CO feet there
Is every evidence that no stone blocks
were ever laid. Bricks have been pulled
from the walls overhead by the hands of
the examiner, says the rumor.
What Became of Concrete?
But the paramount question In the minds
of the Coundlmen Is what has become of
the 541 cubic yards of concrete allowed the
contractor by the City Engineer in addi
tion to the original amount called for In
the specifications. Fifteen dollars a yard
was the price allowed when the bill for
extras was presented. This much concrete
would pave a city street for three blocks
with a layer eight Inches deep. It Is
openly declared that no such quantity of
additional concrete went into the Tanner-
Creek sewer. And City Engineer Elliott
has stated publicly several times that the
sewer was a good piece of work, built ac
cording to his specifications.
To Question City Engineer.
So. from reports floating around the City
Hall, it seems probable that the special
Council committee, having engaged ex
perienced men to examine the sewer, will
turn Its attntion to the City Engineer's
Department and ask a few leading ques
Hons.
HUMPS IN SALMON STREET.
Contractors Want Pay Property-
Owners Object.
The hummocks and humps of the Salmon-street
wood block pavement caused
a long discussion in the meeting of the
street committee of the Council yester
day afternoon. But a deal has been made
by which the Coundlmen believe the
property-owners will not bo compelled to
pay for a pavement that nas gone wrons
nor will the contractors, whom it is al
leged. are not responsible for the de"
fects. be nut off for their pay much
longer.
Howard Whiting, representing the Car
bolinlum Wood Preserving Company, told
the committee that he would undertake
to relay the blocks In proper shape at a
cost of 5320 a block. This will be paid
for out of the street-repair fund.
A resolution will bo sent to the Coun
oil asking that the provision of the build
ing ordlnanco In regard to building ma
terlal being placed on the streets be en
forced more rigidly than at present.
"Why. you've needed a guide to get
along Sixth or Seventh streets for the
nast six months." declared Chairman
Rumelin.
Telephone and telegraph poles within
the fire limits must hereafter be painted.
according to an ordinance Introduced by
Dr, Whiting some time ago. and recom
mended by the committee yesterday. For
the first 12 feet the color Is to be black
and beyond that white paint is to be
used. This plan was suggested,by Mayor
yy imams several monin? sku.
HOLD-TIP MAN ON TRIAL.
Damaging Evidence Against Meehan
by a Fellow-Highwayman.
Charles Meehan, charged with being one
of the bandits who held tip McCarty's
saloon, at 21 Alblna avenue, last Saturday
night, was given a preliminary hearing in
the Municipal Court yesterday. Henry Mo
Gloln. aged IS, who was one of the ban
dlts. took the witness stand and gave evi
dence against Meehan. He told the story
of the hold-up In detail, alleging that two
other saloons were to have been held up
the same night, but after the first crime
the bandits decided to -stop work for the
night. Bartender Clark Identified the mask
and coat said to have been worn by Mee
han on the night of the hold-up.
An Important witness for the pros ecu
tlon, a negro known as "Handsome Har
ry." was missing at the hearing. He was
arrested and held as a witness, but It de
veloped yesterday that while waiting In
the central police station before being tak
en Into court, he deliberately walked out
while the backs of the officers were turned
and left for parts unknown. It Is alleged
that it was In the room occupied by this
negro that the robbery was planned, and
the plunder divided. The case -was not fin
lshed and was continued until Monday.

PREFERENCE HELD TJNDTJE.
Rebate Question Passed on by Inter
state Commerce Commission.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1L The Inter
state Commerce Commission, In an opin
ion by Commissioner Prouty today, made
public its decision in the Investigation
entitled. "In the Matter of Divisions of
Joint Rates and Other Allowances to
Terminal Railroads."
It is decided that rebates which have
been received by terminals In and about
the City of Chicago controlled by the
International Harvester Company and the
united States Steel Corporation, popu
larly known as the Harvester trust and
the steel trust, have been excessive for
the services rendered by the terminals in
switching cars to and from roads lead
ing to all sections of the country.
On the general question Involved In the
case, however, the Commissioner has de
cided that it is not unlawful for a railroad
operated as a common carrier and owned
by the shipper to make Joint rates with
other carriers and receive divisions of
such rates; but. on the other hand, that it
unlawful under tho interstate com
merce law and the Elklns amendment for
any carrier to grant excessive divisions
of rates to another carrier owned by the
shipper for the purpose of securing the
traffic of that shipper. To the extent such
divisions of rates exceed a reasonable
charge for the service performed, it Is-
dcclded that they operate as a rebate
to cut the tariff charge for the benefit
of the shipper, and constitute undue pref
erence, in violation of the statute.
The International Harvester Company
owns the capital stock of the Illinois
Northern Railroad and a controlling In
terest in the Chicago, West Pullman &
Southern Railroad, operating a terminal
connecting road between the plant of the
harvester company and various other
Industries, and connecting with roads
leading to the Missouri River and other
sections of the country. Until recently
the maximum switching charge received
was J3.59 a car, but now the terminal re
ceives a division of rate with a maximum
of 20 per cent on lines reaching the Mls-
rouri River, amounting to $12 a car on
farm machinery.
The commission decided that any dl
vision In excess of a reasonable switch
ing charge is an. unlawful preference
In favor of the harvester company. The
case affecting the United States Steel
Corporation refers to a similar division
of rates In favor of the Chicago, Lake
Shore & Eastern Railway, owned by tho
steel corporation.
HARRIMAN MEN TO GO IN.
Clark Road Board Will Be Entered by
Six New Directors.
SALT LAKE CITY. Nov. 1L As a re
sult of the recent acquirement by the Har-
riman interests of a half Interest In the
San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake
Road, It Is announced at the general of
fices of that road that at the annual meet
ing of stockholders to be held in this city
November 18, six of the present directors
will resign and their places be taken by
six Oregon Short Line directors, repre
senting the Harrlman interests. It Is un
derstood that the half interest in the San
Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake acquired
by E. H. Harrlman and his associates Is
vested in the Oregon Short Line. The
Salt Lake route extension to Los Angeles
tnrougn Southern Nevada will, it is ex
pected, be completed within two months.
As this will make a route from the Osr-
den gateway to Los Angeles fully 20
hours shorter than the present route via
the Central and Southern Pacific, the an
ticipated entry of the Harrlman forces
Into the Salt Lake directorate Is regarded
as of great significance.
Will Extend Wyoming Lines.
OMAHA, Nov. 1L Announcement was
made today at the headquarters of the
unicago & Northwestern Railroad of that
road's intention to build extensive add!
uons to its lines In Wyoming. The lines.
wnich are to be built by the Wyomlne &
Northwestern Railway Company, recently
incorporated In Wyoming by Chicago &
-Northwestern officials, will extend west
ward and north from Casper, the present
western terminus or the Northwestern
system.
The announcement states that the clans
of the company have not matured, but
it is probable a line will be built from
Casper to Lander, touching the Big Horn
isasin ana bhoshone Indian reservation,
with a branch to Thermopolls. From
Lander, It was predicted In railway cir
cles, tho Northwestern will later build to
Ogden, which Is not a great distance.
Short Line Meeting Postponed.
SALT LAKE CITY. Nov. XL The an
nual meeting of the stockholders of the
Oregon Short Line Railway, postponed un
til today from last month, was again post
poned until December 15. This second
postponement, it Is believed. Is the direct
result of the strength shown in the re
cent Union Pacific meeting by the Gould
and Rockefeller Interests, and interesting
developments are looked for when the
Oregon Short Line meeting takes place.
FAVORS SEPARATE SCHOOLS.
St. Johns Commercial Club Considers
Smaller Bond Issue.
At the meeting of the St. Johns Com
merclal Club last evening it was decided
to invite the members of the board of
directors to meet with the club next
Wednesday to discuss the advisability of
Issuing bonds to the. amount of about
5GOO0 for the erection of a schoolhouse In
the northern part of St. Johns. The pro
posal to Issue 510,000 bonds to build a four
room addition to the present schoolhouse
was voted down at the election last Tues
day, and it was suggested at the meeting
of the Commercial Club, that a smaller
amount might be Issued and a school
house separate from the present one could
be oullt at the north end of Jersey street
on the hrow of the hill above the Wil
lamette River. On motion the directors
were invited to attend the meeting of the
club. Meanwhile carpenters are figuring
on tne cost of a four-room schoolhouse.
This movement for a separate school
house, comes from the residents of the
.north end of the district.

The capacity of the steamers of the

McKiel. of the sealing schooner Dora
Slewerd, which has Just arrived on the
west coast of this island from a nunung
cruise In Behrlng Sea, has to his record a
feat In navigating that does him credit.
On his return from the Northern sea the
rudder of tho schooner was carried away.
The accident occurred four or five days
out from English Bay, and the vessel was
still over COO miles from Clayoquot. Un
der some circumstances the vessel would
havo been rendered almost helpless
through the rudder's loss, but Captain
McKlel's Ingenuity came to his assistance.
He hauled down the foretopmast, ana
rinrlnsr tackle to it. he swung it out
astern and maneuvered the schooner so
successfully that, when entering Clayo-

While Hurdling.
HORSE SHIES AT THE JUMP
Daring Portland Hunt Club Rider
Falls Heavily, Cutting a Gash in
Her -Head and Sustaining
Internal Injuries.
Mrs. F. G. Buffum, ono of the best-
known horsewomen in Oregon, was
thrown from her - horse and severely
injured In tho ring of the Portland Rid
ing Academy, Twenty-second and John
son streets, last evening.
It was while her horse, Will Weh-
rang-, was rising for the hurdle leap
that the accident occurred. Tho acade
my was filled with men and women, for
Friday night is the time for the ex
perienced riders. Several were riding
around the tan-bark ring with Mrs.
Buffum. A quarter of the way around
the oval must be made at a full gal
lop. When near the hurdle the horse
calculates the strides necessary to
start him In the jump aright.
Just as biff Will Wehrung roso, he
seemed to shy a trifle. Mrs. Buffum ap
parently lost her balance, and fell
heavily upon the tan bark, cutting a
deep gash in her head, and sustaining
Internal injuries. When the others
rushed to her assistance she was un
conscious.
Dr. J. N. Coghlan was among the
riders and rendered what medical aid
he could at the time. An ambulance
was called, and Mrs. Buffum was taken
to Good Samaritan Hospital, whero Dr.
K. A. J. Mackenzie attended her. It is
not believed that the internal injuries
will result seriously.
Mrs. Buffum Is a prominent member
of the Portland Hunt Club, and has
taken a number of medals and cups for
brilliant rides. She Is known as an
extremely darine rider.

What the Baby Needed.
"I suffered from nervousness and head
ache until one day about a year ago it
suddenly occurred to me what a great
coffee drinker I was and I thought maybe
this might have something to do. with
my trouble, so I shifted to tea for awhile,
but was not better; it anytning, worse.
"At that time I had a baby four months
old that wo had to feed on the bottle, un
til an old lady friend told me to try Fos-
nm Food Coffee. Three months ago
commenced using Postum, leav&g off the
tea and coffee, and not only have my
headaches and nervous troubles entirely
disappeared, but since then I have been
giving plenty of nurse for my baby and
have a- large, healthy child now.
J1 havo no desire to drink anything but
Postum and know it has benefited my
children, and I hope all who have chil
dren will try Postum and find out for
themselves what a really wonderful food.

TOUGHING STORY
Of laby's Dreadful Suffer
ing from Eczema.
CURED BY CUTICURA
Now His Skin Is as White
as a Snow Flake.
'A terrible rash broko out on Char
lie's poor little face and spread to his
neck, chest and back. I had never seen
anything quite like it before," writes
Mrs. Helena Bath of 821 10th Ave., N. T.
City. "The skin rose in little lumps,
ana matter came
out. My baby's skin
was hot, and how
he did suffer. He
wouldn't eat, and
'night after night I
walked the floor
'with him, weak as I
,was. Often I had
'to atop because I
felt faint and my
back throbbed with pain. But the worst
pain of all was to see my poor little
boy burning with those nasty sores.
At last I was persuaded by a .friend
across the street to try the Cuticura
Kemedles. She gave me some Cuticura
Ointment I think the box was about
half full and a piece of Cuticura Soap.
I followed the directions, bathing
Charlie and putting that nice Ointment
on the sores. Little by little, but so
surely, Charlie and I both got more
peace by day and more sleep by night.
The sores sort of dried up and went
away, aud now Charlie is cured com
pletely." "Yes, that fat little boy by the win
dow is Charlie, and his skin is as white
as a snow flake, thanks to the Cuticura
Bemedles. I think everybody should
know about the Soap and Ointment,
and if it is going to help other mothers
with sick babies, go ahead and publish,
what I haTe told you."
