THE MORNING OBEGONIAN, TUESDAY, MARCH 21, 1905. WATER GRADE FOR NORTHERN P.ACIFIO FROM PORTLAND TO MISSOULA The map herewith reproduced shows In outline the proposed route o the new line eoppoeed to he projected by the Northern Pacific alone the north bank. o the Co lumbia. River from "Vancouver to Lyle. then over the present tracks ot the Colum bia River & Northern to Goldendale, across the country by a new roadway to. Pros ier, from that place to Potlatch over the present main line of the- Northern! and then across the mountain through the Lo Lo Pass to Missoula. Mont: This line, if built, will cut hundreds of mites from the present route of the Northern Pacific, will give It & straightaway line to the East and put the tracks on what will be practical ly a water grade for the entire distance from Portland to Missoula. The road has. been planned by the Northern Pacific for some years In its general aspects, though changing conditions have made changes in the flret plans. There Is reason to believe that this road, or one to all Intents and purposes' the sain, will be under construction In the course of the next IS months. NO STAR FOR HIM Mayor Refuses to Make Paul Special Policeman, IS AGENT OF SAILORS' UNION Request Is Made in Behalf of the Sailors in Their Controversy With the Longshoremen's Union on Loading Vessels. The disagreement between the Sail ors' and the Longshoremen's Unions which has resulted in several fistic combats along: the oocks lately, came before Mayor Williams yesterday after noon when he was requested to ap point D: W. Paul, the agent of the Sail-' ors' Union, a special policeman, taus giving Paul the right to carry a re volver. The Mayor refused to do anything of the kind, as had Sheriff Word. The Mayor also listened to charges against Harbormaster Ben Bigline, who was accused of siding with the longshore men and exceeding his authority to aid them In their contest with the sail ors. Lata yesterday afternoon Raphael Citron, a lawyer, went Into the Mayor's office, having In tow Mr. Paul. He prac tically demanded that Mayor Williams place a shield upon Mr. Paul's breast forthwith. "No, I cannot do that; let the two unions fight It out between them selves," said the Mayor. "I will order the Chief of Police to see that protec tion Is granted 'every man, and that every man is protected -while doing his work. But I cannot make this sailor a special, officer." The union's attorney then declared that Harbormaster Biglln was doing all In Ills power to aid and abet the long shoremen. Biglin Is a member of this union. "We can't get any help for the eaUors because the longshoremen have SOO votes In the city, while the sailors have only three," said Citron after the in terview with the Mayor. The disagreement is over the respec tive rights of the sailors and long shoremen in loading vessels. The long shoremen declare that the sailors are going outside their natural line of work when they load vessels. The sail ors say they will load their ships any how. Before coming to the City Hall Cit ron had taken Paul to Sheriff Word with the request that he be made a special Deputy Sheriff. In either case he would have the right forcibly to protect tfie sailors in loading ships, and could order the arrest of any long shoremen attempting to Interfere with them. Hunt Investigation Postponed. The Investigation into the charges made again Chief of Police Charles H. Hunt by Councilman Flegel will be continued at 7:45 o'clock Wednesday night. The evidence of Mr. Flegel has already been presented to the police committeemen, and his witnesses have been examined. Chief Hunt has also taken the stand, and on Wednesday night will call witnesses in his behalf, among them Captain Bailey, Sergeants Hogeboom and Slover and Detective Carpenter, who was a Sergeant at the time the charges were filed, besides many of the officers of the second night relief. Though the examination will begin at 7:45 o'clock, it is the Intention of the committeemen. Chief Hunt and Mr. Fle gel to continue the investigation to a conclusion, even if it occupies the greater part of the night. tlonal clerk be hired during the rush days of each month. Examination for Firemen. A civil service examination lor the posi tions of engineer and firemen In the Fire Department will be called within a few days. There are at present scarcely enough applicants to make it worth while to call the examination. AH applicants must be under SO years of age and resi dents of the city for one year preceding application. The examination consists mainly in athletic tests. MAY TAP CENTRAL OREGON Northern Pacific Activity Indicates Prospective Construction. i In Eastern Oregon the impression pre vails that the recent visit of President Elliott, of the Northern Pacific, Is already beginning to bear fruit. This idea Is cre ated by the activity in the construction department of the Washington & Colum bia River Railroad, a branch of the North ern Pacific running from Pendleton to Starbuck, where It Joins with the main line of the Northern Pacific system. President Elliott has come and gone with the promise of another visit in the near future, and already surveying par ties are being started out In various di rections by Nortnern Pacific authority. There is a strong inclination to believe that the Northern road Intends to Invade the O. R. & N. territory of Eastern Ore gon, and it is even predicted that the day of a Central Oregon line Is not so remote as it has been generally thought to be. Two days ago W. G. Sayles, an engineer from Walla Walla, In the employ of the BiC WAVE STRIKES F. A. Kilburn Has Thrilling Experience, CABIN WINDOWS SMASHED Passenger Tells of Exciting Scene Aboard the Vessel as She En tered the Columbia River en Route to Portland. Two feet of water flooded several state rooms on the port side of the steamer F. A. Kilburn as she was entering the Columbia River yesterday morning. For a moment the vessel was buried beneath the sea which suddenly arose and crashed down upon one side. Captain William H. Stark instantly ordered the wheel turned, and the steamer drew oft to star board, and passed in safely, reaching her dock in Portland at midnight. W. N.

The second rescuing party which was organ ized yesterday to enter the Rush Run and Red Ash mines to recover the bodies of the 24 men who are believed to have been killed by the two explosions Saturday and yesterday morning, was able to enter the mine today. The first rescuing party, which entered the mine early Sunday morning, had gone 2000 feet when overcome by tbe second explosion. The second rescue party reached this point In the mine today, and preparations were at once begun for the removal of the bodies.. The third rescue party reached the point of the explosion where the first rescue party was overtaken, and Joined in the work of removing the bodies,, which were terribly mangled. Seven bodies in all were taken from the Rush Run mine today. Among the dead are Charles G. Wynn, James Wynn and Thomas Lancaster. They were in tho rescue party which en tered the mine after the first explosion Saturday night In an effort to locate tho eight men who were working almost a mile from the drift mouth when the first explosion occurred. The bodies were about 1500 feet from the drirt mouth, 'xney were not badly burned, as first expected, but their clothing was torn by the forco of the explosion. On account of the dust, which is from six inches to two feet deep In the entry, the rescue party had great difficulty in reaching the bodies. No more bodies will be taken out tonight, as experienced min ers are not satisfied with conditions ana fear a third explosion. BATTLE ON THE EXPRESS-CAR QUEST FOR MAYOR Fred T.

Pays His Respects to Albee and Says He Is Not Afraid to Come Into the Open to Fight Mayor Williams. With such political organizations hurry ing through the timber as the Municipal Association, tne Republican Club, the Toung Men's .Republican Club, the so called "Republican organization.' organ ized last Friday night, and intended to supplant tho present machine, and the Multnomah Democratic Club, the quest for a Mayor is getting busier every day. The Municipal Association has found its Moses in the person of H. It. Albee, but the other organizations are yet without standard-bearers. As busy as any is the Multnomah Democratic Club, which has sent a committee of stalwarts root ing through tho woods for some valiant to vanquish Georgo H. Thomas In the Democratic primaries and to lead the un- terrlfled hosts to victory. Willing to Fight Williams. Third in line to proclaim himself a can didate for the Republican nomination is Fred T. Merrill, the open-town champion. who, like Albee, closed-town champion. will not announce for a day or two yet whether he Intends to fight George H. Wllliams In the primaries. Merrill Is braver than the aspirants who are cast ing sheeps' eyes at the nomination, but fear the might of Williams In the primar ies. He calls them cowards and says that If they are afraid to cross swords with Williams he is not. Quoth he last night on returning from Seattle, Tacoma and Spokane, where he has sold his In terests in oroer to concentrate his ener gies In an effort to give Portland what he calls a thoroughly business adminis tration: "I'm no coward." Merrill announces that he stands for the open town, but not for the wide-open one. .the issue will be between an open town and a closed town," said he. "In my opinion the people will not turn over this city to reformers whose policies would stop Its growth and set back Its progress. What He Says of Albee. Regarding Albee's candidacy, Mr. Merrill remarked: "I have the greatest regard for Mr. Albee's honesty of purpose as a Coun cilman, but I would not like to see him Mayor ot Portland. There la no Janger of that, however. The live business peo ple of Portland wish it to grow forward to a big metropolitan city and not back ward until grass shall grow In the mid die of the streets like Its namesake. Portland, Me.
