Judge Hears Contentions
Rival Roads on the
Peninsula. .
DISPUTE OVER CROSSING
Rights of Way at Maegly -Junction
Canoe of Struggle Between O.
R. & X. and Portland &
Seattle Lines.
' Judge Frazer sat as a Commissioner
yesterday to bear and determine the dis
pute between the O. H. & N. Co. and
Portland Seattle Railway Company re
garding the grade of the two roads at
Maegly Junction, on the Peninsula. The
O. R. & X. Co.'a line is surveyed around
the Peninsula on both the Willamette and
Columbia River sides, and its grade is
nearly level. The Portland & Seattle line
Is surveyed across the Peninsula west to
st, and near Maegly Junction crosses
(rom one high point to another. The Har
rlman line wants the Hill line so con
structed at the Junction that the trains of
the former can pass underneath a bridge
to be constructed by the latter, with 21
fet space In the clear. The Hill people
wont the Harrirnan forces to reduce their
grade, and the officials of the Harriman
road say this would cost a large sura of
iiioney.
N. V. Miller, ctolaf engineer for the Port
land & Seattle Company, testified that it
would cost the O. R. & N. Co. very little
to drop Ita grade four feet at the Junction,
and It would still have a very level grade
over the length of its line. It would, on
the contrary, cost the Hill line J1O3.50O to
do what the O. R. N. Co. demanded
M,O00 for grading, and 149,500 for a bridge.
To keep nearly to the originally estab
lished grade of the Portland & Seattle
Oompany would be better for that com
pany In establishing depots. ' It would
rest less to make a low bank than & high
bank, and the former would be much
more accessible for depots.
In iwer to the contention of the O.
ft. & N. Co. that If It reduced its grade
In the vicinity of Maegly Junction the
Columbia River fresh-ta would cover the
tracks, Mr. Miller testified that the O. R
X. Co.'s grade was lower at several
points than the ISM high-water mark, or
than It would be at Maegly Junction If
the drop was made. The line at Albina
was Jower than the 1S94 high-water mark
and on the 8teel bridge. The Maegly
Junction height, as compared with the ex
treme high-water mark in 183. was about
four feet above. If trains could not reach
Albina because of high water, high water
ar maegly junction would not hurt. Mr.
Miller also testified that the Steel bridge
itilcks were two leet below the high-wa
ter mark in, 1894. and the Northern Paclfio
terminal grounds were four feet lower
than the 1894 high-water mark., It-was
o rcet nigner at Alaegley Junction than
t the Willamette River.
On cross-examination, Arthur C. Spen
cer asked the witness if he was aware
the O. R.-4 N. Co. lost 39 miles of track
In the 1894 flood, and Mr. Spencer inti-
ruateu that his company Intended to trv
(o fix its grades so as to keep away from
nigh water in future. If possible. Counsel
and Judge Frazer looked over some maps
in. surveys ana grades and discussed other
questions. The hearing will continue until
all the evidence on both sides has been
suomittea. Charles H. Carey appeared as
attorney ror tne .Portland & Seattle Com

AY A XT XEW ALLOTMENTS.
I'matllln Indians llrlng Suits for
That Purpose in Federal Court.
Several cases filed yesterday in the Fed
eral Court read like pages from a tale of
Vloneer days in the Far West. The docu
ments referred to are suits brought up for
the purpose of obtaining a new allotment
of certain pieces of land in the Umatilla
Indian Reservation. Ha oh of the com
plaints cites alleged errors in the former
allotment.
A more or less common Impression pre
vails that the descendants of dusky
braves abandoned the characteristic In
dian names when they gave up the tepee
and the hunt for the paleface to assume
the more useful, if somewhat lees excit
ing, occupation of farming. Such does not
sppear to be the case from a perusal of
the cases entered in the Federal Court.
Tson-lt-po brings suit against Ser-lo. Tal-wa-lo-gown
and the United States. Wa-ho-pa
and Toy-toy has a grievance which
they desire to settle with the Govern
ment, which also figures as one of the
defendants in the case of Pot-sll-ty, Tsa-ko-ko

that of Shu-shu-qul-nine against Ta-te-ml-at

I'ORT OF FORTLAXb SCED
Federal Government Brings Action
for Injuries to Manzanlta.
Considerable interest on the part of
shipowners In the Columbia and Willam
ette Rivers is attaching to the case where
in District Attorney W. C. Bristol, on
the part of the Government, la suing the
Port of Portland, owner of the tug John
MoCraken and the dredge Columbia for
lamagrs done to the lighthouse tender
Manzanlta in a collision which occurred
in the Columbia River last year. Testi
mony in the case Is being taken before a
tptclal notary to be presented in Judge
Wolverton'a court. J. Coucli Flanders Is
appearing for the Port( of Portland and
District Attorney Bristol .for the United
States.
The present case Is a substitute for one
in which a warrant of arrest for the John
McCraken and the Columbia was vacated
on the ground that the Port of Portland
being a municipal corporation, its prop
erty, which was being used by the state,
could not be seized. In the present pro
ceedings, the suit. Is brought against the
Port of Portland directly, and. not against
the vessels. ... '
In. the collision which occurred between
the vessels it is .alleged that" the John
McCraken and dredge Columbia were not
displaying lights and gave no .signal of
their approach, givins to the officers of
the Manzanlta the impression that they
were stationary in the stream.. It is un
derstood that the line of defense now. be
ing presented by the Port of Portland Is
that because of its public capacity as a
municipal corporation it la immune "from
the rules and regulations which apply to
other vessels. -
. Sheriff Closes Saloon.
- The Atlantic saloon, at 61 'i Third
street, conducted by "Mysterious Billy"
Smttl. was closed by the Sheriff yester
day on an execution issued by Mark

wife. May Smith. Judge Sears recently
ordered Smith to pay (35 a month for the
support of his wife and prior to that time
directed him to "pay tlOu attorney's fees.
The whole, with costs, amounts to about
1175, which "Mysterious Billy" must pay
before the Sheriff will release the place.

Jiirs 1. C. Parrlsh. guardian of "Perry
Wood K err, a youth 17 years old, who
caused his arrest two months ago for
stealing bottles of milk left at the door of
her residence, was before the County
Court yesterday to show cause .why she
should not be removed as guardian. Perry
Yood Kerr was the adopted son of Mrs.
Dora B. Davis, who died leaving'' J1000 in
Burance for his benefit. Mrs. Parrlsh, in
the petition asking for her removal, is
charging with having lent $818 of her
ward's money to her brother, E. W. Helm

well and send him to the High School.
He left her home because she asked him
to work, and offered to permit him to

ONE GOOD FROM DISASTER
H. C. Keller Says Destruction of
Notorious Chinatown Is Blessing.
"We can gather but one gleam of satis
faction and see but one oasis in the
desert of San Francisco's awful catastro
phe, and that is the complete destruction
of its infamous 'Chinatown.'. .Its passing
out of existence will be voiced by expres
sions of generat gladness from all who
were familiar with the 'true inwardness'

it naa become a curse. From a small
population it had grown to have over 30..
000 denixens. These 16 blocks were lo
cated in the finest part of San Francisco,
north of California street, occupying a
majestic location, immediately below the
rairmount Hotel and overlooking the -Bay
and attractive surroundings.
It rapidly became a putrid, pestilential
district, and Its elimination Is good cause
for general rejoicing. It was the only
good thing the great fire accomplished.
It was a crime-breeding, vice-growing dis
trict, as well as a refuge for gamblers,
thieves, thugs and pick-pockets of the
lowest order. Adjacent property suffered
in consequence. It poisoned the very at
mosphere by which it was surrounded.
Chinatown had become such a stench In
the nostrils of the community and such
a blot of municipal disgrace that it was
rapidly becoming a menace to health,
moral and social order and extremely
difficult to regulate by the authorities.
An agitation for its elimination became
general five years ago. and grew rapidly.
This move finally crystallised in a plan for
its- removal to an arm of the Bay in the
extreme southern part of the city. Conse
quently about that time an incorporated
company was organized, composed of a
number of the city's leading citizens, hav

;fH!illMplM
Tou cannot easily guess the identity of the Miss Oregonian presented
toda'. who is in the race for the position of Miss Columbia in the Made-in-Oregon
Exposition parade of Friday, May 25. She hails from a pretty
town of white houses peeping coquet tishly between forests of blooming
orchards in the Willamette Valley. There is a very persuasive air about
the photograph that Is very likely to "hang the jury." The board of Judges
begs to assure the candidates that photographs will be returned in all
cases, and that no use of name or photo will be made without the consent
of the aspirant for the honors of the, day. A formidable contest is being
offered from the out-of-town girls, and it behooves the local young ladies
to arrange for fresh sittings with their hairdressers and photographers
without delay.
man lines and the Northern Pacific, ask
ing that the order increasing the mini
mum of lumber carloads be withdrawn
The raising of the minimum loads ac
cepted by the railroads at the rate of 40
cents on the 100 pounds to St. Paul and
common points was intended by the rail
roads to result In the loading of cars to
their capacity and to lessen the number
required to handle the business. This ob
ject was for . two reasons, the first one
being to guard against the shortage of
cars because of the rapidly increasing
lumber -business to the East, and the
other Is to keep the number of cars
hauled iast down as low as possible, in
view of the long haul back empty.
Lumber Loads Increase.
Lumber loads have Increased in a sur
prising manner during, the past year, and
it is becoming a serious problem how to
provide rolling stock for the business.
Sound mills have already complained of a
car shortage that 'crippled their business,
while an almost equal difficulty was an
ticipated by millers on the Columbia and
Willamette Rivers. The railroads figured
that, by compelling the loading of freight
cars to capacity, the available rolling
stock could be used to the best advantage.
The lumber tonnage Is low-rate freight,
and is not nearly so profitable to the
railroads as other commodities. The
average car of lumber perhaps earns for
the railroad that hauls It -to St. Paul J200.
The same car, loaded with other freights,
would bring twice that, amount. The
haul of an empty car back is expensive.
and railroad men have estimated that in
the time lost and .the .wear and tear on
rolling stock, as well as the motive power
to haul it. an empty frelgftt car from St.
Paul to Portland represents a dead loss
of $75. These are pretty strong arguments
why the railroads, .desired to load ; each
car to .the best advantage and announced
increased minimum loads.
. X'cw MUiimuais Faulty. ...
Members of the Oregon Lumber -Manu
facturers' Association state that the. new
minimums are faulty, and Sound lumber
men say . their business-is -threatened by
the new rates. .The difficulty arises be
cause of the fact that, with light lum
ber, shippers say they cannot reach the
minimum, although they fill the car full
and are thus 'compelled to pay a higher
late. ' Local railroad men are considering
the complaints of lumbermen, and may
so change the classification of lumber as
to remove the difficulties the new rates
are said to threaten.
L J. Wentworth, of the Portland Lum
ber Company, thinks the new minimums
will prove an injury to the trade in Port
land. "Loading 'to the ' cubical capacity
of the car is impracticable " with light
lumber, such as siding, ceiling, etc., which
is kiln-dried and does-not- weigh much,
but is bulky and fills up a car without
reaching the minimum weight' said he.
'I have not jet had a chance to experi
ment with -other lumber, but the kiln
dried product. Is where, the most trouble
will arise. I think if the railroads see
thev are working a hardship on the lum
bermen they will withdraw the new mini
mums."
Calls . Rates Impracticable.
Frank H. Ransom, manager of the
Eastern & Western Lumber " Company,
said he found the new rates Impracticable.
We have been trying especially to build
up a trade in the East In kiln-dried lum
ber for a long time." said he, "and this
will- hurt the trade. By the rates an
nounced.- the- minimums are in excess of
what the cars will contain of light, drv
lumber. The protests, to the rates are
general, and possibly a revision of the
tariffs can be made."
"I think , the rates will be readjusted."
said Phil Buehner. president" of the Ore- J
gon Lumber Manufacturers' Association.
"Such rates as have been announced
would drive us out of the Eastern mar
kets, where we are making special ef
forts to do business. A readjustment of
the classifications, putting the different
woods together, might fix the trouble all
right."
CURB CORPORATE EXACTION
Work for Your Owii Home Section
and Interests.
ALBANY. Or.. May 3. (To the Editor.
There recently- appeared In The Orejtonian a
very Interesting- article on "Modern Slavery."
While reading, the question came into my
mind. Who are the modern slaves? From
observation I came, to the conclusion that
all who are in any way dependent on the
great corporations are slave: For instance,
I have labored for a life-tlfe to accumulate
a little property to support me in my declin
ing years. In order to have a. little protec-,
tlon. I have to take an - insurance policy
against fire. "etc. The property I have in
sured has always been considered good risk.
Agents of different Insurance companies are
anxious to Insure It- in fact, the rlslc Is bet
ter now than it has been for several years
owing- to the removal of old wooden build
ings in close contact to It. and. being within
the fine limits of the city, can be replaced
only by fireproof buildings. In the face of
these facts these fire insurance corporations
have seen a chance to give the thumb
screw another turn and have combined. This
year they inform me and others that in
surance has raised and that it would cost
4 more Ver thousand -to Insure the eame
property. Of course, w, as modern slaves,
must submit to it. I suppose this extra X4
raise Is to go into a sinking fund for an
emergency that never happens.
This is Just a sample of how these cor
porations are working the people every day.
I could go on and relate more experiences
with other corporations. ' but there u no
need to do so. as nearly even- man outside of
the corporations has had an experience for
himself and must consider himself a "mod
ern slave." A few days ago I read an
other article In The Oregonian. in which
Mr. T,eadbetter. pf your city, says that we
were up against ' & serious problem, on ac
count of the destruction of San Francisco,
as we have always depended upon that city
for a great deal of our supplies. Now, we
who have lived In the Willamette Valley for
many years know' this to be true, and more,
that we have been compelled to ship our
supplies about 400 miles further, via the
Columbia River, and at a much greater ex
pense than It would have been If we had re
ceived them via the natural -gateway to the
Willamette Valley Taquina Bay. Some who
read this assertion may pronounce it fool
ish, but they are in league with the corpora
tions that are holding up and cheating hun
dreds of good American citizens out of a
God-given right. We do know that the bay
Is a good one and a sate one. for we have
had the experience of shipping with satis
faction, many tons of merchandise via that
route, and If it were not for the Influence
of the big city combined with the great rail
road corporations of this state we would be
enjoying cheap freight today via Taquina
Bay.
People may talk about "working for the
Greater Oregon" it sounds well, but I would
say to. the people of the Willamette Valley:
"Don't be duped. Work for your own part
of the state first." There are no signs of
the big city doing much for us. and as cor
porations combine for their benefit. So should
we. as a people, combine for our interest.
Shake off the shaekles and be no more the
modern slave, for
"Tbou canst not others' fetters break
While thou remains' t a slave.
The thoughtless, others thoughtless make
The brave make others .brave."

ENTHUSIASM FOR
BIG EXPOSITION
'Made in Oregon" Fair Is
Constantly Receiving ;
Applications.
EUGENE'S SPECIAL EXHIBIT):
HIHsboro and Baker City Will Par
ticipate, and Taconia Finds It
Profitable, to Imitate
Portland's Activity.
Enthusiasm is growing over the pros
pects of the Made-in-Oregon week. Yes
terday 25 applications for window spaces
came into the secretary's office; there was
a deluge of portraits of feminine beauty
for Queens and Columbias: manufactur
ers sent in word of magnificent floats In
preparation, - first of which, thus far, in
the line of private undertakings Is to be
the veritable exhibit of the modern uses of
electrical power by the Portland General
Electric Company; more windows of the
best stores were offered the committee;
special features were promised for the
parade on the; afternoon -of May 25, and
calls were made for suggestions as to how
to fit up working exhibits in the windows.
" Eugene's Special Exhibit.
The City of Eugene calls . for special
space, if it can be reserved, in which there
is to be a grand display . of the products
of that municipality. "We hope to bring
you something worth .while." is the terse
way the application from Allen Eaton, of
that city; read. Tacoma has heard of the
Made-in-Oregon idea, and thinks well of
it so much so that -it haa changed the
passive admonition to "watch it grow"
and has started to follow Portland's suit
by starting the "Greater Tacoma Boosting
Club." "The, way to do a thing," re
marked Tom Richardson, when he heard
of It, "Is to get in and do ft not sit
around and watch or talk Just follow the
cue of 'Made In. Oregon.' " .
. Hillsboro and Baker City.
Hillsboro citizens are In line. An enthu
siastic letter; was-, received by Mr. Richardson-yesterday.-
in which It was stated
that Hillsboro- was . preparing to come
down wlth: a. -delegation, . headed by the
town band, composed of -the citizens who
would all shout for Oregon 'industry. Ba
ker City- is very .much alive to. the call of
the boosters of "patronize." home indus
tries." and is going to send down several
big exhibits. v - ' ; .
Meantime the plans are' maturing rap
idly for the demonstration on. the -streets.
The committee on entertainment, ' headed
by 3. H. Fricdlander. met at the Commer
cial Club last evening, and, after'recelv
ing encouraging reports, 'resolved to. have
music several hours of each -day'of that
week, beginning on Monday and continu
ing afternoon and evening until the close
of the exhibition, May 26. Thursday night
of that week there will be revelry at the
Oaks, which is In preparation to receive
the crowds. Several hundred dollars will
be required from the comipittee to hire a
band to furnish the music throughout the
week. ' -
Several Working Exhibits. . .,
Among the "working" exhibits that
have been filed for assignment within a
few days there will be mattress-making,
a miniature flour mill, a 'iolin maker,
manufacturer of felt shoes and boots,
steam engines in miniature, made in Ore
gon: cabinet-making, piano-making, dem
onstrations of Oregon table supplies.
Says a prominent merchant relative to
the efforts being put forth In behalf of all
Oregon industries and the opportunity of
every producer to advertise his wares:
"One of the permanent results of this
movement will be the attraction of manu
facturers now seeking new locations.
There is a great deal of Eastern capital
that is now uncertain about settling in
San Francisco. Other things being equal,
and. with unanimous action between the
commercial organizations of this and
other cities of this section and the rail
road companies, these new industries can
at least be instructed as to the facilities
for manufacturing which abound on every
hand."
Arrangement of Displays.
The time is growing short in which to
arrange for displays or to place an ad
vertising float In the parade. Those who
are desirous' of competing should at once
notify the headquarters, 215 Oregonian
building. So much detail work Is ahead
of the committee in connection with the
adjustment of exhibits consigned by out-of-town
manufacturers that a resolution
has been adopted and will be strictly ad
hered to that no exhibits will be taken
care of if they reach Portland after May
16. If they arrive before that time they
are sure of receiving the best treatment.
It should be understood that it is neces
sary to give the window-dressers a fair
opportunity before the opening of the
exhibition to devise schemes and dress up
the displays to be entered for competi
tion. Prizes Are Offered.
To encourage the turnout of private ve
hicles and floats to make the parade more
Interesting, an attractive, list of prizes
has been decided upon. A majority of
them will be cash, but the amounts have
not been fixed. Feldenhelmer & Co. have
contributed a loving cup to be used as

I Trained Nurse 2

Coffee
No one is in better position to know
the value of food and drink than a trained
nurse. .
Speaking of coffee, a nurse of Wilkes
barre, Pa., writes: "I used to drink strong
coffee myself and suffered greatly from
headaches and indigestion. While on a
visit to my brothers I had a good chance
to try Postum Food Coffee, for they drank
it altogether in place of ordinary coffee.
In two weeks, after using Postum, I found
I was much benefited and finally my head
aches disappeared, and also the indiges

among my patients, and have noticed a
marked benefit where coffee has been left
off and Postum used.
"I observe a curious fact about Postum
used among mothers. It greatly helps
the flow of milk In cases where coffee ig
inclined to dry it up, and where ' tea
causes nervousness.
'I And trouble in getting servants to
make Postum properly. They most al
ways serve it before it has been boiled
long enough. It should be boiled 15 or
20 minutes and served with cream, when
it is certainly a delicious beverage."
"There's a reason" for Postum.

PROBLEM OF HOMELESS
Ij. AV. Hobcrtson Tells or Conditions
Following the Catastrophe.
"The problem of taking care of the
homeless and . destitute population of San
Francisco is beyond the means of the
Pacific Coast" is the conviction of L. w.
Robertson, an ex-Chief, of. Police of Port
land, who has just returned from the
stricken city. "It is a National prob
lem, as the conditions following the ter
rible catastrophe are without a prece
dent in the history of the Nation. San
Francisco cannot be compared with Bal
timore or Chicago, both of which were
near other large manufacturing centers
and the helplessness of the people to
earn their living was not so great there.
The problem of rebuilding the city is
onlr of second importance when the

great problem looms out of helping the
Inhabitants. With nearly three-quarters
of - San Francisco's entire population
made homeless, it is evident that the la
bor market will be overstocked very soon
and the relief work will have to be con
tinued Indefinitely.. The only way this
great question can be solved is by en
abling tbch-population to be self-supporting
at the earliest possible date. In my
opinion the country is better than the
city. The Government could easily -provide
for the thousands bv placing them
on Government land and by special legis
lation help them to build houses and thus
help them make their own living until
such time as the city was ready to re
ceive them back. Of course this question
would have to be carefully, studied, but In
my opinion this is the only way to solve
It.- -Feeding the hungry and clothing idle
men, Is the most. expensive way of help
ing people and one energetic move by the
Nation tomake this vastrarmy of suffer
ers self-supporting would' ' close ' this
problem most effectively." '.
Vainly Hopes for House Help.
PORTLAND. Mav 3. (To the Editor.)
I wonder If the -many Portland housewives
who have hoped to find some sirls on women
desiring household service among the San
Francisco earthquake refugees are doomed
to despair? Inquiry of various relief
agencies elicits a uniform negative. "Were
there no women in San Francisco who did
housework? Were they all gobbled, up be
fore they reached Portland? Or do they
not know that hundreds could find good
homes and good, wages by coming to this
city and others on Puget Sound? W hesr
that able-bodied men in San Francisco murt
go to m-ork. but axe told of "thousands of
helpless women, formerly independent."
With free transportation, why should they
continue "helpless?" Or la housework' to
disagreeable that the bread- of .charity Ii
sweeter? While I should be glad suitably to
pay any competent help. I would willingly
Ito further and give to a.-g-irl or woman of
refinement and sood temper, the prlvllegps
of a. member1 of the family. " "And I think
that In this I am probsbly
