THE HORNING OREGQNIAX, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1906. w 14 MEANS TO S Charles P. Doe Leases Martin Docks at Foot of Seven teenth Street. ,. . BALLAST CHARGE REMOVED t Owner of Immense Dock Invites Dumping of Gravel Under Docks In Order to Secure Solid Foundation Big changes are being planned along the water front, and some wonderful im provements in its appearance will be brought About within a few months. The coming of the Northern Pacific has set steamship men of other Coast -cities to thinking seriously of Portland's future and they arc beginning to take safeguards against being frozen out by the larger in terests, whose pure-strings know no limit when it comes to gaining a strategic point in their warfare for business and prestige. A deal consummated during the latter part of last week, and brought to light yesterdny, means more than is ac tually implied by the mere transaction. It means a great improvement to the water front, increased coastwise traffic and a saving- of several thousand dollars annually in the operation of the deep-sea fleet coming here for cargoes of grain, lumber and other items f export. Charles P. Doe, of the North Pacific Steamship Company, of San Francisco, who returned home Friday night, after a brief visit here, ostensibly, it was thought, for the purpose of conferring with the Portland merchants relative to the es tablishment of a line to Alaska, closed a fevf deals of which he said nothing before his departure.

Elder as told In Sunday's Oregonlan, and now it Is learned that he leased the Martin docks at the foot of Seventeenth street .for a term of five years, with possibly an op tion for their purchase at the expiration of the lease. Mr. Doe will take possession of the docks with the arrival of the Roanoke on her return from Port .Los An celes. so It is understood, and from then on she will land there regularly instead of at Columbia dock, at the foot of Nor thrun street. Should the merchants sue ceed in arranging with Mr. Doe for a , steamer for the proposed AiasKa line, these wharves would in all probability be utilized for the handling of the north bound freight and passengers. The Martin docks are located immedi ately to the north of the West Side land ing of the Lower Alblna ferry and will have a frontage of 4G0 feet when com pleted. The older section of the docks is a two-story structure, the upper deck be ing used for a warehouse and storage room, and Mr. Doe will have control of the lower dock also. The old deck has a water frontage of 200 feet, and the new dock now in course of construction will have a frontage of 160 feet. "Work was commenced on it several months ago. but a shortage of piles has retarded progress. This dock, too, will have two covered decks, both to be controlled by the lessee J. A. Martin, owner of the leased docks. makes the' announcement that he Is pre pared to take the Initiative in bulkhead lng the wharves along the front. This matter has been proposed time and again. but without the desired result. In an in terview yesterday Mr. Martin said he lias decided to improve the appearance of his docks as well as take precaution against destructive fires by bulkheading the entire length of the wharves. He also proposes to fill In the Intervening space between the bulkheads and Front street, so as to eventually secure a solid foun Tlation. His idea of accomplishing this in an inexpensive way is to invite all deep-sea craft to dump ballast .under the docks free of charge. Foreign shipowners last 5 ear declared a differential against Port land partly because of having had to pay 20 cents a ton for discharging ballast In addition to the longshoremen's wages and wharf charges, and Mr. Martin's prop osition will prove a saving of from 54O0 to $500 for each ship wishing to take ad A'antage of the opportunity. The move should Tiave considerable bearing upon rates out of Portland when the ship owners' combine gets together to fix rates for the coming season. The depth of water In front of these docks is 30 feet at low -water, and no ves sel entering the river will be too large to berth there with perfect safety. The steamer Knight "Errant on her visit here last Fall tied up at this dock, and she is the largest merchant vessel so far to have received cargo here, her length be ing 470 feet and her carrying capacity about 10.000 tons. LOXG BEACH FULL- OF DRIFT Summer "Visitors AV1I1 Have Abun dance of Material for Bonfires. Long Beach is full of driftwood, and Summer visitors' will have little trouble getting material for bonfires this season. The "Winter storms have been kind In this respect, and if Summer should take the wrong tack and bring rain and cold breezes campers and cottagers will not need to suffer for want of fuel in the fire place. Frank Botef uhr returned last week from his cottage, near Seavlew, and he says he never sawdrlft so plentiful before, al though he has spent many seasons on the beach. The weather,, too, has been excep tionally fine between storms, and week before last it was ideal.

ATTEMPT TO CON TUSE AND rfUGGLE THE ISSUE. Judge "Webster Says the People ' "Elect" in June and Legislature Can Only "Ratify." PORTLAND. Feb. 18. To the Editor.) One of the purposes of the primary election law Is to provide a nerr method for the nomina tion of candidates for office by the various 'political parties, and another I to enable the people to vote directly for united States 'sen ator. The nominating election provided for is a rabmltuto for political conventions, and It In nothing more. Specific and minute pro vision la made for preserving party organisa tion. In order to participate In the nomin ating election, a voter must designate ,bls party at he time he registers, and this dti lenation restricts bis -right to vote at that election, within the limits of his party. The candidates' In every political party t this clrction are contesting- each with the other within hi party to sro who i-hall be the nominee of that party. The remit of the nominating, or primary, election Is the same In effect as the mrnlt of a political conven tion. Theonly difference Is that Instead of tho people rending representatives to make the party nomination they malts them them wslves. But tha political organisation re mains the same. That candidate for Gov ernor in the Republican party who receive the most Republican vote will be the Re publican nominee for Governor at the gen eral election, just the jrame as If he had been nominated by a political convention, and the ame la true of all other political par- tlr. Those who are thou designated, as the candidates of their reapectlre political par ties contest with each other at the general election, and that one receiving the greatest number of votes la elected, no matter to what political party he may belong. For many yearn there baa been a strong entlraent la this rtatc In favor of the elec tion Of United SiatM fnliu- hv rflrrot vnlf of the people. This sentiment baa existed quite apart from and Independent of any Idea of primary nominations. It was not the nomination or Senators merely that was demanded, but their election. This law pre sentn a plan by which the direct election of a Senator by the people may be accomplished. It also provides the roeana by which a candi dal for Senator may be nominated by each of the different political parties precisely the me as for the nomination of a candidate for Governor or for any other office. The nomination and the election to the office of United States Senator are Just aa distinct as for any other office. Any one desiring to contest for the nomination to the office of United States Senator on the Republican ticket takes the preliminary Kteps necessary and la enrolled as a candidate on that ticket for nomination by that party, the same an If he were a candidate for the office of Gover nor, and that, of course. U true of all other political parties. Each party Is distinct. Re publican agalnet Republican. Democrat against Democrat, and f-o on, and each voter muzt vote for the candidate of the party In which be It registered. Here, aa In other offices, the context Is not for election, but for party nomination. Whichever Republican candidate get the greatest number of Republican votes will be the .nominee of that party Just 1 the aame as If he had been nominated by a Republican convention, and the same of the other, parties. The various party candidates thuo nominated becomes each the candidate of his party at the general election, and that one who then receives the most votes U elected to the office of United States Sen ator. Under thW law. a United -States Sen ator is nominated and elected Just the same as any other officer, and the nomination and the election Is Just as distinct In this as in relation u other office. But. for reasons entirely apart from thla law, the election of United States Senator Is not effective until It i.i ratified by the Legislature. It -must be borne In mind that ratification by the Legis lature, however essential In Itself. Is some thing culte apart from election -antler thle statute. That candidate for Senator who re ceives the n-ait votes at the general election is elected under thte toatute Independent of any subsequent ratification by the LegfaOalcre though, of course, such an election without that ratification would not be effective. In order to secure such ratification of the elected Senator this statute provides that candidates for the Legislature may sign "Statement Num ber One," which is aa follows: "I further tate to the people of Oregon aa well aa to the people of my legislative district that dur ing my term of office I will always vote for that candidate for United States Senator In Congress who has received the highest num. ber of the people's voles for that position at the election next preceding the election of a Senator In Congress, without regard to my Individual preference." Thin statement contemplates action with reference to a Senator elected under this stat ute an elected, not merely a nominated. Sen ator. If this were not so. there would be no use of an election for that office. Party or ganisation is carefully preserved and partic ularly provided for all through tbia statute, but party success is a political Incident quite apart from party organization. Beside, the tfrmji of "Statement Number One" Itself show that It refers to the Senator who I Does your baking powder contain alum ? Look upon the label. Use only a powder whose laoel shows it to be made with cream of tartar. NOTE Safety lies in buying only the Royal Baking Powder, which is the best cream of tartar baking powder that can be had. elected and not to one who Is merely a party candidate for that office. "I will always vote for that candidate for United States Senator In Congress who has received- the highest num ber of the people's votes for that position at the election next preceding the electfon of a Senator In CongreM without regard to my In dividual preference." He Is to vote for the candidate who receives th- klghest number of votes at the election, not tK the one who re ceives the nUne. number of votes for his party nomination. As we have seen, under thla statute, there Is first the party nomina tion and then the general election for the office of United States Senotor, the tame as for other offices. The candidate to be voted fcr b the elected candidate, not tho unsuc cessful nominee. It is the one who receives the highest number of voted at the election, not at the nomination the candidate who re ceives the highest number of all the people's, votes, not the highest number of x Republican votes or the hlgheat number of any other party votes. Individual preference Is elim inated, too , and under this pledge the Legis lator becomes merely the passive agent of the people (the whole people) to execute their .will by ratifying their choice of United Slates Senator. LIONEL R. WEBSTER. The argument faulty and fallacious, because .It asstfmcs that the people, by direct vote. In general election, can elect and do elect tho United i States Senator; when, in fact, the Senator can be elected only by the Legislature. It is useless to juggle with this matter, and one does his- Intelligence no credit when he does juggle with it. The Legislature, to meet In Jan uary, will not "ratify"; it will elect, under the authority, direct and specific of the Constitution and laws of the United States under which alone Senators can be elect ed. There Is no other way to do 1L Our primary law, with all Its virtues and powers, does not .alter the Constitution and laws of the United States. Oregon can have no Senators or Representatives except as provided for in the National Constitution, which, with the laws enact ed .by Congress under It, directly and ex pressly controls their election. Let any ambitious statesman go to the door of the Senate with "credentials" from the voters of Oregon by popular election, and I see If he gets In. Isn't it time to have an end of this silliness and folly? REVIVAL SERVICES CLOSE Rev. S. 3r. Martin Adds 100 Mem bers to First Christian Church. PORTLAND. Feb. is! (To the Editor.) There has Just closed. In this city, one of the most remarkable -revivals ever held In Portland. Dr. S. M. Martin, of SL Louis, has been conducting a series of meetings at the First Christian Church lasting 'nearly two months. Over 1W per sons were added to the church during- this meeting, and large numbers from the oth er churches availed themselves of the op portunities of hearing this remarkable man. Dr. Martin, for several years a teacher in colleges and universities, began evan gelizing In 15S3. since which time he has added over 11.010 to the Christian Church in the. United States. He Is a tHorough scholar, conversant with the Greek and Hebrew languages, a natural orator, a delightful impersonator, never failing to please his large audiences. One moment they wen smiling at his wit and humor; tho- nest, reverently listening to his ten der appeals to their spiritual nature. Dr. Martin Is still a young man. being on the sunny side of sO. and It is hoped that years of usefulness arc before him. He goes from this city to Jacksonville. Fla., and the best wishes and earnest prayers of hundreds of his friends here go with him. FLORENCE WARINNER, HILL OFFICIALS ARE HERE Arc Making Estimates of Business Xorth Bunk 3Iay Secure. A party of prominent Hill officials were In Portland yesterday, chief of which was Ben Campbell, of St. Paul, first vlce-pres- 4dent of the Great Northern. Others were: Harry Adams, assistant traffic manager at Seattle; F. I. Whitney, of St. Paul, passenger traffic manager, and W. W. Broughton, freight traftlc manager. B. I Crosby, resident engineer at yancouvcr in charge of the Portland & Seattle bridge across the Columbia, was in the city, while S. G. Ycrkes. of Seattle, assistant general passenger agent of the Great Northern, will arrive today. These offi cials are taking more interest In Port land and Oregon since the north-bank road was projected and are making esti mates of tht business the Bill line may expect. The visit here of these officials had no significance Mr. Campbell said, as It was merely a coincidence. He. himself, with his family. Is on his way back to St. Paul from California. He said he believed Portland would furnish business for all the railroads that are to enter it. and ex pressed a favorable opinion of the rich territory of which this city Is the metrop olis. On his way here from the south he passed through much fertile country. "When asked how he regarded the en croachments of the Union Pacific In the Puget Sound country. Mr. Campbell re plied that he and his associates had not given the matter much thought. MONTAVILLA BURGLARIES Latest Is the Robbery of the Home of Dr. Thomas Darling. An organized gang of burglars is carry ing -on a systematic series of robberies In the vicinity of Montavilla. During- the past few weeks there have been four or five house robberies reported to the police from this quarter, and -each of these has occurred between the hours of 7 and 9 o'clock Sunday evenings. The latest burglary reported io that of the residence of Dr. Thomas Darling, 212 East Thirtieth street, which was broken Into and robbed last Sunday evening. The burglars had evidently watched their chance and when Dr. and Mrs. Darling doparted for church, entered the bouse. They entered by the cellar, ran sacked the house from top to bottom, and carried off several articles of value. In eluding a tine pair of opera glasses, a Lowis and Clark souvenir dollar made into a pin, .$3 or H cash and several trinkets. The strange part of the affair Is that there have been several burglaries almost Identical In character reported to the police from this vicinity during the past several weeks, and each affair happened about the same hour on a Sunday even Ing.
