TBDB JCOXXIXGr OKEGOHIAJT. FRIDAY. APRIL ,13, ItOC OF IE Steamship Minnesota Sights Dismantled Vessel. TUGS GOING TO THE RESCUE Orient IAnar May Have to Go Into Quarantine Because of. Having Had Several Cases or Smallpox on Board. PORT TOWNS END, "Wash., April 12. (Special.) The Great Northern liner Min nesota, which arrived this evening, after a. record-breaking trip of ten daj'8 from Yo kohama, reports having flighted a. vessel In distress this afternoon off Vancouver Island coast- The vessel -was a four masted one, and was dismantled to the lower masts. The Minnesota, sighted the derelict at 2:50 P. In position 18 west. li. south, true of Cape Flatter'. A, tug was seen near the vessel at the time, and soon after another tug was observed steaming In that direction. Owing to thick weather and a light gale prevailing, the Minnesota was unable to read the vessel's name, and no signals were seen flying. The identity of the dis mantled vessel Is a matter for speculation, as a number of vessels of that rig are due on Puget Sound. A gale prevailed off the coast a few days ago, and the vessel was probably dismantled at that time. The Minnesota Is anchored here await ing quarantine inspection at daylight. A case of smallpox developed on the steam er between China and Japan. The victim was landed at Yokohama, but It is not lm- STEAMEK INTELLIGENCE. Due to Arrive. Steamer From. Date.

SAY THEY" WERE SOLD OUT Smaller Stockholders of Gray's Har bor TowInR Company Complain. ABERDEEN. Wash.. April 12.-Spe-clal.) An intense feeling has grown out of the alleged "high financing" by the directors of the Gray's Harbor Towing Company, who are charged by the smaller stockholders with having sold them out. The Gray's Harbor Towing Company was organized several years ago, and built the big tug Daring. Later the tug Cudahy was bought from the defunct American Fisheries Company for $15,000. Last week it was announced that the Gray's Harbor Towing Company had bought the tugs Traveler and Printer from the Northwest ern Company at Hoqulam, In order to shut oft competition. Now come the smaller stockholders in the concern and allege that the price paid for the tugs was far beyond their actual value. It is said that $46,000 was the amount agreed upon, and the Northwest ern Company was given a note for 530.000 and stock of the Gray's Harbor Towing Company to the amount of I1C.O00. It Is further stated that the Traveler Is 20 years old. and the Printer 18 years old, and that the company will be swallowed up by the face of the note and the Inter est given In the shape of stock. Action In the courts Is threatened to set aside the proceedings of the directors. The stockholders of the Gray's Harbor Company are all .prominent men of the harbor. Launch for Xasel River. ASTORIA.

For failure to obey an order of the County Court made March 1, to turn over to Richard Lynch, administrator of the estate of his brother, Jerry Lynch, a cer tificate of deposit for 0. Judge "Webster yesterday ordered Charles E. Lockwood. an attorney, committed to tho County Jail for contempt of court. Mr. Lockwood was, however, equal to the emergency, and has succeeded In keeping outside of the prison bars. On Wednesday last he filed a petition in the State Circuit Court for a writ of review as to the decision rendered by Judge Webster, and this had the effect of suspending the contempt order, until the upper court passes upon the writ of review, which will come up some time In the Slay term of the State Circuit Court. The application asking that Mr. Lockwood bo declared In con tempt was made by Murdoch &. Moscr, attorneys for the administrator, but Jhcy did not place any process in the hands of tho Sheriff asking for the arrest of the delinquent attorney. Accompanying the petition for a writ of review of the decision of Judge Wcb Btcr, Mr. Lockwood filed a bond cover ing the costs. Murdoch &. Moscr. counsel for Richard Lynch, the administrator, ap plied to Judge Frazer for an additional bond to Include the amount of the certifi cate of deposit, which they said Mr. Lockwood might cash. The question will have to be heard by Judge Frazer before he will be In a position to paw upon It Mr. Lockwood has bad possession of the certificate of deposit for a long time, and has shown no disposition to cash it, and probably will not make any effort to do so. He called upon Judge Frazer late yesterday afternoon and explained his po sition In the matter, and that be wished to try out the case in the higher court Mr. Lockwood was an attorney In the Jerry Lynch estate matter, and there has been considerable controversy In the County Court regarding blB handling of certain funds, and Judge Webster finally decided that Lockwood should account for the certificate of deposit for $200. Jerry Lynch was a member of a railroad con struction gang at The Dalles, and was accidentally killed. The estate recovered damages from the contractors. IRRIGATION JNTHE VALLEY Government Expert Sanguine Con cerning WillHinette Experiments. Blwood Mead, chief of the Irrigation inquiry branch of the Department of Ag riculture, who was In Portland yesterday. Is confident that irrigation In the Wil lamette Valley Is practicable. He ex pressed this opinion while in Portland. Arthur P. Stover, of the aamo ser'ice, has been assigned to conduct experiments In the Willamette Valley, and will be gin work some tlmo this week. Mr. Stover, who conducted experiments In tho Willamette Valley last Summer, and who has recently been experimenting In Uma tilla County, met Mr. Mead In Portland. Mr. Mead is recognized as one of the leading authorities on 'irrigation In the United States, and great weight Is given his conclusions. The Portland Board of Trade was instrumental in bringing Mr. Mead to the Northwest. For weeks the board has been working to Induce Mr. Mead to assign an expert to conduct in vestigations in the Willamette Valley. Early xucccsg was due to the fact that Mr. Mead took a personal Interest In the matter. Mr- Mead left last night for Helena. Mont. While in Portland he visited Sec retary Laber, of the Board of Trade, and Paul Shoup, assistant general freight agent of the Haniman lines In the North west. While in Portland Mr. Mead said he thought the Willamette Valley, if irri gated, would support a greater population than Southern California. Southern Cali fornia ships about 30,009 carloads of cit rus fruits each year. He thinks the Willamette Valley could do even better than that with deciduous fruits. It is his Idea to irrigate during the three dry months when on an average there is less than four Inches of ralnfalL He thinks the most practicable systems of irrigation would bo by the installation of pumping stations and securing of water from mountain lakes. Mr. Mead would be pleased to hear from any persons who have conducted investigations in the Willamette Valley relative to Irrigation, Such Information should be sent to Mr. Shoup. ALMOST NEW THEATER. Calvin Heilig has certainly renovated the Belasco Theater from top to bottom, and an air of cleanliness prevails within the Heilig Theater that is inspiring. In speaking of the changes that have been made. Mr. Heilig stated "that the entire theater was thoroughly gone over, and repairs made where needed, no ex pense being spared toward this end. "Appreciating the importance of the orchestra in an up-to-date theater, we also purchased from Ellers Piano House two fine Chlckerlng pianos for use In the theater- We feel that the people of Port land are entitled to nothing but the finest, and we have endeavored to arrange our playhouse so that it will meet with the approval of our patrons."

MONEY RAISED FOR PROJECT Steamboat Will Be Constructed at Celilo and Will Be Heady by Fall for Traffic on the Upper Rlrer. Contracts for the construction of x steamer to run between Celilo and (Lewis ton on the upper river will be awarded within the next two weeks by the Open River Transportation Company. The or ganization of the Open-River Transporta tion Company was effected by the trans portation committee of the Chamber of Commerce and the stockholders of the company are those who have subscribed the SS2.609 to build and operate ateaxaers on the Upper Columbia. The stockholders of the company held their first meeting yesterday afternoon in the offices of W. A. Mean, secretary of the transportation committee of the Chamber of Commerce. A committee was appointed to obtain bids for the con struction of the boat and will begin work without delay. Build Vessel at Celilo. The steamer will be built at Celilo and It will be In operation In time for the heavy Fall traffic. It will cost about 530. 0(0. The boat will be about 160 feet in length with a 34-foot beam. In ordinary water it will carry about 350 tons of freight and when there is sufficient depth the steamer will carry about 5W tons. It will be so constructed that it will be en abled to ply between Celilo and Lewiston at almost any stage of the water. Another steamer will be built in the near future at Kennewlck to operate as far as Priest Rapids and the indications are that several boats, other than that which the Open-River Transportation Company is Interested in. will operate along the Upper Columbia. Word has been received from Lewiston that the stockholders of tho Mountain Gem have indicated their willingness to allow their boat to become a part of the fleet of the Open-River Transportation Company. In all probability an agreement to this ef fect will be made with the stockholders of the Mountain Gem Would Extend Portage Road. The transportation committee of the Chamber of Commerce, after much thought and exhaustive investigations into the conditions, has concluded that the Portage Road should be extended to The Dalles, a distance of about three miles. The members of the committee say that It would make the road more effective and that they will do all within their power to bring about Jhe extension. At the meeting held yesterday afternoon all of the stockholders wcro either repre sented in person or by proxy. All of tho 152,039 that has ben raised has been sub scribed In Portland with the exception of XZIOX The J2100 was subscribed by W. J. Mariner, of Blalock: J. A. Smith, of 'Sher man County, and W. J. Furnish, of Pen dleton. At the meeting the following directors of the company wrre elected: A. H. Devcrs. T. D. Honeyman. L. A, Lewis. Leo Fried e, D. C, O'Reilly. Herman Wit tenberg, J. H, Moore. William J. Mariner and J. A. Smith. The directors in turn elected officers, who are: President. L. A- Lewis; vice-president. Herman Wit tenberg: secretary and treasurer, J. N. Teal: assistant secretary. Marguerite White. The committee which will re ceive bids for the construction of the boat is composed of D. C. O'Reilly, chairman; T. D. Honeyman and Herman Wittenberg. Martin Winch will act In an advisory capacity with the committee. Another meeting of the stockholders will be held next Tuesday afternoon, when the com mltteo will report what progress has been made relative to the construction of the steamer. In Interest of Portland. The men who have subscribed to the fund have done so In the Interest of Port land and not from a standpoint of Investors- They regard it as a publlc-splr-Itcd work and by the establishment of a line of .steamers hope to regulate rates. It will also open up much additional ter ritory for Portland and the Importance of the line can.hardly be overestimated. The operation of the Mountain Gem under charter by the transportation committee from Celilo to Wallula has had the ef fect of reducing rates materially. The putting on of a boat clear through to Lewiston. It Is believed, will have the effect of reducing rates all along the line. The transportation committee of the Chamber of Commerce has been actively at work for the past few weeks to Inter est Portland capital In tho establishment of a line of steamers between Celilo and Lewiston. By working quietly and with out publicity, the committee secured (00. The company was then formed with a capital stock of J1C0.0M. The subscrip tion list will shortly be sent to other cities that will be benefited by the estab lishment of the line, and it la believed the business men of the various towns will make liberal subscriptions. MR. CHAPIN'S POSITION Franchises Should Be Taxed Ade quately and Jointly. PORTLAND. April 12. TT the Editor.) In an editorial today 41c&clng my stand as to whether I would consider a franchise real property and subject to taxation. The Ore gontan finally winds up by agreeing with me exactly on the subject. Perhaps. In answering the qoertioo, I should have been a little more explicit and should have gone into the question a little more thor oughly." I might have answered It by saying I do not believe franchise are properly and subject to taxation, providing they pay the city a reasonable percentage of their xross earnings for the privilege of holding this Iran chlr. The whole trend of your questions was to the effect of repealing perpetual franchises and substituting limited franchises in their place, and to fix rtaamable maximum charges for them. "With such legislation tn view, I can hardly see why a corporation holding the fran chise should be called upon to pay additional for the privilege of exlKlr.r. My ataad Is that the real property of, a cor poration boldlnr a franchise sfeo-sld 'be a sed and taxed the saaaa- as that of any In dividual or corporation, and It the Assessor does not perform hla doty tn this respect, then of coa-rae he Is at fault. In addition to this taxation. If a corpora tion receives from the dry street prtrtlrre for any purpose whatever, it staould pay a reasosable reat for these privileges. lut the ro as any other iaelrldaal or corporation when it rents a piece of property. But. after a corporation holding a fraacais baa paid its reralsr taxes asd has paid the city a reason able rest for the use e the streets. I do sot believe It should be caeapened to pay taxes oa their charter. If, however. It baa set paid the city a reaaonsMe rental tor Che se of the street, then It sboaM be taxed for llai fran chise. I do not believe thai Jaot bicaas a corpora tion baa wealth and power It should be obliged to pay mere than Ks sfcare of the lax, bat it shotiM be oMtged to pay Its Jt proportloa.

X. CHAP1X. Mr. Cfeapts wtad up by agrttlag exact ly with The Oregoslfu. His chief fear seems to have beea that la taxing a fraa chUe a its charter and as property, a pwhUc utility carperaUeB weald be payig aaere than Its Just share. We scarcely thJak there need be a ay serious appre beasfea a that score. Mr. Chapta wants the physical property of the cerperaUen taxed, and. if it enjoys aay privileges from the public it should, he says, pay a reasonable rest for these privileges. Cer tainly it should. That Is precisely what It ought fe do. But whether It shall pay what Mr. Cbapta calls "rent" or a fran chise tax or an occupation tax Is for the preseat so -matter. The isauo between the cerperaUoas and the public is solely as to whether it shall pay a just and adequate revenue for such privileges as it eajoys. Mr. Chapln says it should. He calls that revenue "rent. Very well. No matter what it is called, so the corpora tion pays. Mr. Chaptn Is a straightfor ward man. asd The Oregon lan has no doubt that, if he shall bo elected to the Legislature, he will do precisely what he says he will do. He declares himself in accord with The Oregonlan and its de mand that a franchise corporation shall be controlled, regulated and taxed prop erly. The Oregonlan has asked no more fresB him or from any other candidate. APPEAL TO SUPREME COURT WILLTAMSOX GOES TO TRIBU NAL OF LAST RESORT.

NOW HAS A $10,000 ROLL Champagne Flows Freely in- His Stateroom Durlaf; the Voyage. Breezy Letter From the Orient. In a letter written on the other side of the world by "W. M. Kelly, an ex employe In The Oregonlan composing room, to a friend In this city Is given a breexy account of the wanderings ot Ho race O. McKinley. of land-fraud notori ety, since he sailed from San Francisco a few months ago in company with "Lit tle Egypt." At that time it was the gen eral supposition that McKinley was bound for that "some place east ot Suez" made famous by Kipling, "where there are no ten commandments" and long thirsts are perennial. According to Mr. Kelly's letter. Mc Kinley was succeeding admirably In his quest up to the time he reached Hong hong, at least, having won a small for tune at poker on the way across the Pa cific and kept himself and bis fair com panion In champagne throughout the voy age with his winnings at cards. Mr. Kelly's Information as to McKin Ieys doings are given at second band, but he tells In his letter ot crossing the path of another American celebrity, 'William J. Bryan, in person. Following is the letter In full: Calcutta. India. March 12. leo. How bad do yoa fellows want McKinley? I came over on a steamer from Rangoon. Burmah. a few weeks ago and met an American traveler who came from San Franttsco to Honikosg with the land shark. My Informant got quite friendly with McKinley. and McKinley said he waa not making hu "getaway" at the Instance of Blnxer Hermann or his friends, but that be had "done up" a fellow In Michigan on a deal, and the fellow was making the Ore yoa climate too tropical for him. McXlntey had a nice roll, smd came oat way to the good at poker on the way over. H landed In Hongkong with at least $10,000. McKtnlea bad a nlfht ot It In San Francisco previous to the departure of tho Manchuria, and picked up with "Little Egypt." who also had a hankering to get away. a.i he was tangled up with the bunch of rounders who either killed or wounded a "cop" In San Francisco. McKinley secured her a berth on the boat and they traveled together aa far aa Hong kong. She remained there. McKinley moved on. Champagne flowed freely In McKlnley'a stateroom on the trip over. My Informant aald that be knew the man McKinley had cheated, and he llkewias knew of the fraud before he left. He knew Mc Kinley la Portland: recccnlzed him when they met on board, and McKinley asked him to keen silent. Tbla may be ancient history to yoa now. but I thought Iwoold write It to you anyway. Our old friend Billy Bryan and his family hare been tn Calcutta the past week. 'Wil liam ran learn a few stunts with ullrer In India. He can possibly, also, spend a few Mlver rupees which were coined by counter feiters on a wbolesalo acsJe In the northern oart ot India a few yean ago; and which contain a little more sliver than those made by the government and .which, owing to the large number la circulation, have been declared lawful coin by the government of India. Mr. Bryan was looking well when I met htm. He spoke to a meeting of students here who will soon leave for America to get Ideas on modern trade method. I have been out In India five months and I like it. at least It's better than being In ltmbo. aa they make and sell Ice here, and you can rent electric fan. The Insurance racket over your way has been well written up In the East, and It has done great Injury to American trade In gen eral.

The fact that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cured this stubborn case, as w.ell as others more severe, leaves no doubt that they will cure lesser troubles aris ing from disordered nerves and lack of nerve force.
