Washington Delegates Call on
Colonel Roessler for
Assistance.
PRESENT FIGURES AS BASIS
Most of Party Represent Logging In.
terests and Reach Agreement
Relative to Floating Logs in
River at Certain Times.
A delegation of 19 prominent busi
ness men of Kelso, Ostrander and Cas
tle Rock, three towns on the Cowlitz
River in Washington, visited the office
of Colonel S. W. Roessler yesterday af
teruuon and laid before the chief of the
United States Kngineers for the district
of the Columbia claims for the improve
ment of the Cowlitz River in order that
the stream may be made navigable for
a greater distance than it is at' present.
Tne delegates are all more or less in
terested in the logging industry which
is a considerable factor in the Cowlitz
County products and in addition to ex
pressing a desire for the deepening of
the river channel, the delegates de
Bired some sort of an amicable under
standing relative to the floating of
their log rafts so that such work would
not Interfere with the navigation of
the stream by the steamboats operated
by Captain Joseph Kellogg and the
Kellogg Transportation Company.
In respect to this latter contingency,
it seems that the steamboat captain
had frequently complained of the chan
nel being blocked by drifting logs,
which were practically running wild,
and at yesterday's conferenoe with
Colonel Roessler the representatives of
both sides expressed a willingness to
get together and frame some means of
relieving the situation.
The discussion on the question of how
the loggers and steamboatmen were to
arrange matters so that the boats
would not be interfered with by the
logs occupied most of the afternoon.
Both sides by making concessions final
ly managed to frame up an agreement
which is conditional on Its operating
successfully, whereby the loggers are
to cease driving their booms at noon
on the three week days the steamer is
scheduled to visit the Cowlitz above
Castle Rock, and the, work of driving is
to oe discontinued until the river craft
shall have passed above the logging
point. This arrangement was made
after both sides had thoroughly argued
the question, and as the rival rivermen
seem likely to get along by arbitration
in the future no further agitation is
anticipated on either side.
After the logging question had been
amicably adjusted Colonel Roessler was
importuned for hie Indorsement of a
proposal to deepen the Cowlitz in order
to permit of the stream being visited
by coasting schooners as Is said to
have been the case in years past.
At present the stream Is only naviga
ble for a very few miles by the lightest
draft of the river boats, and this situa
tion the Kelso delegation claim is not
sufficient to accommodate the demand
for transportation facilities. In his of
ficial capacity Colonel Roessler stated
that he could offer no assistance un
less the river was covered in one of
the river and harbor appropriation
bills. In he latter event he stated he
could report to the head of the War
Department that money available for
dredging and deepening the river was
insufficient to meet the requirements,
and in this manner have the attention
of the department called to the stream.
The Cowlitz County delegation stated
that Senators Piles and Ankeny had
both visited the stream and also Con
gressman Jones, and that all three leg
islators had agreed that the stream was
of sufficient importance for the Gov
ernment to make some effort at putting
It in navigable shape1. According to the
delegation the last Congress gave
something like $30,000 for the improve
ment of the stream, but this sum is in
sufficient for the reason that it will
only meet the requirements of a small
amount of the dredging necessary and
would leave nothing for the mainte
nance of' the necessary dykes and jetty
work essential to retaining a channel
In the stream.
Captain Kellogg volunteered to as
sist the movement toward securing
legislation that would cover the neces
sary expense in any manner he pos
sibly could, and the delegates attend
ing the session pledged themselves to
work industriously to secure a larger
appropriation at the next Congress.
The delegation displayed figures
showing the commercial value of the
Country they represent, which makes
the estimates of the various products
shipped out of the vicinity along the
Cowlitz River as follows: 45.9S0 tons of
manufactured lumber products. 2.730,
000 feet of fir and cedar piling, 135,
000,000 feet of logs and timber, 10,000
tons of farm products, and various
other commodities that net the produc
ers handsome revenues each year. This
great output from a growing country
is one of the reasons why the citizens
are agitating better means of transpor
ting their products to market, and an
open river would assist materially In
relieving the situation.
The Cowlitz County delegation was
composed of the following: Mayor A. E.
Cagwin. of Kelso; H. Alger, A.
Burcham, John L. Harris, Dr. W. W.
Webb. Guy Hogg. F. L. Stewart, H.
England. W. W. Stone, John Ayres, Dr.
F. M. Bell, E. S. Collins. W. F. Ely. A.
Crawford. C. C. Woodcock, "Font" By
erley, D Mslone and James Studebaker.
Colonel Roessler promised to pay a
visit to the Cowlitz River as soon as
the duties of his office would permit,
and the Washington delegation re
turned home last evening highly
pleased with the results of their visit
to this city.
RF.FVSE TO LOAD VESSEL.
Yosemite Coming to Portland Be
cause of Longshoremen's Action.
ASTORIA. Or., July 5. (Special.)
Although' the steam schooner Yo
semite, which arrived yesterday to
load lumbe- at the Chicago Mill carried
a complete white crew, the local long
shoremen refused to load her, because
the crew was composed of nonunion
men. Being unable to secure a cargo
here, the stamer left up the river for
Portland this morning.
DISCHARGE JAP CREWS.
Captains of Novo and Aurelta Will
Employ White Sailors.
The captains of the steam schooners
Novo and Aurvlla. which are here to load
lumber for San Francisco, yesterday dis
charged all the Japanese members of the
crews, and will employ white sailors on
the return trip
This action was made necessary on ac-
uni. of the attitude oi the lQiigshoraman 1
toward the Orientals, for they refused to
work any vessel on which the Japs were
employed, and in accordance with this,
mandate the operators of the vessels be
lieved it best to accede to the demand, and
have commenced discharging the little
brown men.
As soon as they became assured that the
officers of the vessels had acted in good
faith the longshoremen commenced load
ing the two steamers, and no further
trouble is anticipated in getting them
away with their lumber cargoes.
Barkentine Clears From Astoria,
ASTORIA, Or., July 5. (Special.)
The barkentine Mary Winkleman
cleared at the Custom House today for
San Pedro with a cargo of 530,308 feet

UNION STRIKER WOUNDED BY
UNKNOWN AT SAN FRANCISCO.
Charles Ohman Got Into an Alterca
tion With Nonunion Man Who
Refused to Quit Work.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 5. Charles
Ohman, a picket of the Sailors' Union,
was shot In the right arm about 1
o'clock this afternoon by an unknown
man, with whom he had an altercation
a few hours before, when the stranger
refused to quit work on the steamer
Vanguard, unloading at Washington
street wharf, Oakland.
Ohman had asked the stranger early
in the day to quit work, which the
latter refused to do, and in the alter
cation that followed Ohman admits
striking him. Ohman declares the man
walked up to him later, asked why
Ohman had struck him, then drew a
revolver, fired and fled, with Ohman
and several others in pursuit. He
escaped. Ohman is not seriously in
jured. Marine Notes.
The British ships Arracan, Moulton and
Deccan, three well-known vessels on the
Coast, have been sold to Lewis, Herron &
Co., of London, for a sum said to be 20,000
pounds.
Captain Andrew, up to but recently In
command of the steamer Charles R. Spen
cer, expects to leave In a day or so for his
ranch in Tillamook County, where he will
spend his vacation.
The British steamer Richmond expects
to finish loading at the Portland mill to
day or tomorrow, and will be taken down
to the North Pacific mill to complete her
cargo of lumber for the Orient.
Inspectors Edwards and Fuller inspected
the steamer Cruiser yesterday afternoon.
The vessel is employed as tender to the
crews engaged In building the Columbia
River bridge for the Portland & Seattle
Railway.
The dredge Portland has been pressed
Into service at deepening the channel in
front of the Inman-Poulsen mill. The
dredge will be occupied at this work about
three weeks, after which she will return
to the work on the East Side fills.
Inspectors Edwards and Fuller are ex
pected to arrive at a decision' in the In
quiry as to the causes leading up to the
collision between the steamer J. B. Stet
son and the barkentine Jane L. Stanford
some time today, but this will probably
not be announced until tomorrow.
The steamer Roanoke left down last
evening with a full passenger list and all
the freight she could handle for San Fran
cisco and way ports. The vessel is the
only one on the regular Frisco run at
present, and finds herself hardly capable!
of handling all the freight sent in for
shipment to that port.

NEARLYTHREEYEARS
Term of Imprisonment Is Im
posed on Meldrum.
PLEA FOR CLEMENCY MADE
In Addition to Serving Time on Mc
Neill's Island, ex-Surveyor-General
Must Pay
$5250 in Fines.
In the United States District Court, yes
terday morning, Judge Wolverton Imposed
a fine of J250 for each of the 21 counts of
the indictment under which Henry Mel
drum was convicted on November 17, 1904,
and also sentenced the ex-United States
Surveyor-General to 60 days' imprisonment
In the Federal prison on McNeill's Island
on each of the 18 counts. In the agregate,
he must pay $5250 fine and remain In prison
10SO days, or exactly 15 days less than
three years, in case the full measure of
the punishment and fine is carried out.
With credits on account of good behavior,
he can walk forth a free man May 7, 1908.
When Judge Wolverton asked the de
fendant if he had anything to say why
sentence should not be pronounced, Mel
drum's attorney, R. W. Montague, made a
stirring appeal for mercy, charging an in
ordinate craving for liquor as the cause
of the downfall of his client, and declar
ing that the Government had suffered no
material loss by reason of his. acts.
United States District Attorney Bristol
then addressed the court, stating that
Meldrum had been convicted on each of
the 21 counts of the Indictment returned
against him by the 1 Federal grand Jury,
18 of which were for forgery of affidavits
in connection with township surveys, and
the remaining three for uttering these
affidavits. Under the circumstances, Mr.
Bristol thought the Government would be
satisfied with a sentence of 60 days and a
fine of $250 on each of the 21 counts. In
pasing sentence. Judge Wolverton took
occasion to reprimand the defendant In
severe terms for his violation of a public
trust.
Meldrum stood with head erect while the
sentence was being imposed, and at the
conclusion of the Judge's remarks took a
seat by the side of his young son Don and
commenced to figure with paper and pen
cil. He was evidently computing the
length of time he would have to remain in
prison, together with .the aggregate
amount of his fines, and seemed well sat
isfied with the result of his estimates.
At the conclusion of sentence, several
Oregon City friends in attendance gath
ered around Meldrum as he left the court
room and shook him warmly by the hand.
His bond of $4000 will remain in force
until next Monday, when he will be com
mitted to McNeill's Island to serve his
sentence unless his attorney should suc
cessfully interpose some legal obstacle to
such a proceeding.
Meldrum's family, consisting of a wife
and five children, are residents of Oregon
City.
IS OPPOSED TO BRISTOL
SENATOR FULTON WAS AGAINST
HIS CONFIRMATION.
He Says Secretary of the Interior
Hitchcock Is in His
Dotage.
Senator C. W. Fulton spent a busy day
yesterday at the Imperial receiving call
ers. He left last night for his home in
Astoria, where he will spend most of the
Summer.
Jonathan Bourne was one of those who
called on Senator Fulton, and he spent
some time with him. Whitney Boise, W.
W. Banks, G. L. Westgate and others
prominent in politics talked with Senator
Fulton yesterday. '
When the Senator's attention was called
to the reappointment of District Attor
ney Bristol, as. shown in a dispatch from
Oyster Bay, he said: T expected he
would be reappointed, and I thought It
would have come even sooner than it
did."
When asked the reasons why he op
posed Mr. Bristol's confirmation by the
Senate, Senator Fulton said:
"He was not confirmed because I did
not want him confirmed. When the Attorney-General
called on me at the end
of the session I told him I did not desire
to make a recommendation at that time,
and would make no recommendation un
til the so-called land-fraud trials in Ore
gon were concluded.
"As to the reasons why I did not ask
for Mr. Bristol's Indorsement I can say
nothing. The case Js that I did not want
him indorsed, and he was not. I do not
care to give my reasons."
A stinging arraignment of Secretary
Hitchcock, of the Interior Department,
was made by Senator Fulton yesterday.
He accused the head of the Interior De
partment of harboring a grudge against
Oregon that works a detriment to the
state.
"The Secretary of the Interior is In his
dotage," said Senator Fulton. "He is a
childish old man. Irritable and of intense
prejudices, and seems to think that it
is impossible for anything good to come
out of Oregon. It is very regrettable, and
is injurious to the state."
BETTER FIRE PROTECTION
District Engineer Holden Says Hy
drants Are Needed.
The contractor has started work on
the Brooklyn engine house, which will
stand on Powell street and East
Twelfth street, and will face but a
single car track. There will.be a com
plete engine company installed at this
place as soon as the building Is fin
ished. There will be a hose wagon also.
Hose company No. 3, In Stephen's Ad
dition will remain for the present, and
will receive a new hose wagon. The reel
there will probably be given to Sell
wood, which is asking for better fire
protection. At East Twenty-eighth aid
Davis streets work will start on the en
gine house that is to be built there as
soon as the Brooklyn building is com
pleted. This Fall both places will be
provided with engine companies.
District Engineer Holden says that
the suburbs need fire hydrants In every
direction. He says that the 100 a year
are not enough, and that 500 hydrants
a year could be placed on the East
Side, and even then could hardly be
found. The district engineer calls at
tention to the rapid growth of the East
Side, and the great area of unprotect
ed sections, where fire hydrants are
needed 'as the only protection that can
be had in these districts.

ICE CREAM FAMINE
Wreck of a Milk Train Is the
Cause.
MOST INOPPORTUNE TIME
While Citizens of Portland Swelter
With the Heat, Cooling Dessert
Is Unobtainable, Despite
Increased Demand.
The sweltering citizens of Portland are
not throueh being angry yet about the ice
cream famine which struck the town for
a few hours of the 3d and 4th, but just to
get even they are making up for lost time
and yesterday every ice cream parlor and
soda counter far and near was crowded
to standing-room capacity by a hot,
thirsty crowd of disgruntled people. The
wreck of a milk and cream train couia
never have happened at a more inoppor
tune time, but the hot wave and the con
sequent discomfort of the populace was
evidently not taken into consideration
when the cars containing the extra sup
ply of lacteal fluid for Portland's Fourth
of July celebration were tumbled in a
heap out near Fairview Tuesday. It was
hard to make every one understand that
the wreck was the cause of the ice cream
famine in fact, many would take no ex
planation, but got angry enough to raise
their temperatures several degrees.
Supply Is Short.
The supply was only about 1000 gallons
short of the demand, after all. That
meant that about 25,000 persons had to do
without a dish of the cooling ice, for it
is estimated by dealers that one gallon
will serve 25 persons. Fully 50 per cent
of the family orders were not filled by
the large firms, for the reason that deal
ers had to be supplied as long as possi
ble, and the extra cream which would
have been frozen for the occasion was
serving to Irrigate the dairies around the
scene of the wreck. Since last Saturday
it has taken from 1500 to 2000 gallons
daily to supply the unusual demand for
ice cream, while the ordinary supply for
Summer months is only 500 gallons daily.
Two Thousand Gallons.
When 2000 gallons of cream are con
sumed in one day it. means that a great
many partake of it, for It goes a long
way. At the Exposition last year on the
Fourth there were 50,000 on the grounds,
but it only took 800 gallons to serve them.
But it was not nearly so hot tnen as It
was last Wednesday. One company states
that many people who are not in the
habit of buying cream ordered for the
Fourth, and, not being able to get it then,
ordered again yesterday, evidently deter
mined to spend the money for that pur
pose. The soda water counters were about as
well patronized as the ice cream tables,
and even yesterday there was no cessa
tion In the continuous line which stood be
fore every fountain in the city. There
are so many new concoctions invented
each season by the soda mixologist that
it is entertaining to watch him mix
drinks. Some of them have so much fruit
and are garnished so extravagantly that
they look like combination salads, but
they taste good especially to the Summer
girl. And she has not been forgotten,
either, for there is one especial combina
tion named for her. The "ballplayers'
delight" is another mixture which Is find
ing favor with amateur sportsmen, and
there are all sorts of fairy dreams,
punches, smashes and fizzes to tempt the
thirsty patron. The ice cream soda and
the sundae are probably the most popu
lar mixtures served at the soda fountain.

The largest firm here manufactures 100
tons daily for the city trade, and the de
mand since Saturday has been several
times that amount. This company keeps
several thousand tons stored, so there is
never any danger of an' ice famine, and
those who were not able to get ice cream
Wednesday satisfied themselves by mak
ing water ices, which are equally as good
and much more cooling. This firm esti
mated that about 18,000 tons of ice are
consumed in Portland each year, two
thirds of this amount being used in June,
July and August. Compared with the con
sumption of other cities this is a very
small amount, which is proof that Port
land Is not a "hot place," and that hot

WISCONSIN MEN TO BE RE
ARRESTED. Telegraphic advices were received by
United States District Attorney Bris
tol yesterday to the effect that the
Department of Justice at Washington,
D. C, had ordered the rearrest of the
eight men at Oshkosh and Shawano,
Wis., who were discharged recently by
Commissioners McDonald and Dlllett.
They had been Indicted by the Fed
eral grand Jury of Oregon under sec
tion 5440 of the Revised Statutes,
charged with conspiracy to defraud
the Government of several thousand
acres of the public domain, and the
question of their removal to this state
for trial was brought up on hearings
before the Commissioners named, with
the result that the eight defendants
were turned loose.
It is claimed by the- Government
that the Commissioners exceeded their
authority In so doing, consequently tne
eight men will be brought up for an
other preliminary examination at once,
before different Commissioners, as it
is evident the Department of Justice
does not place much reliance In Mc
Donald and Dlllett. It is believed the
latter are bound by political ties to the
defendants, and that Government In
terests are of secondary Importance
with them, under the circumstances.

PLAN BRANCH JAIL
It Will Adjoin the Kelly Butte
Quarry.
SAVING IN TIME PROPOSED
Prisoners Will Work Ten Hours a
Day and Will Not Have to Go
From and Come to Mult
nomah Jail.
A building to be used as a branch
jail will be built adjoining the Kelly
! Butte quarry, five miles east of Port
land, to be ready for occupancy August
! 1. The rockpile prisoners will be
worked at Kelly Butte quarry for sev
eral months, and County Judge Webster
and County Commissioners Barnes and
I Lightner have decided that It is a waste
I of time and money to bring prisoners
I to and from the County Jail to the rock
quarry.
The new structure will be 67 feet
! long, 22 feet wide and the walls 12 feet
high. The floor will be of cement and
I the roof constructed of sheet iron,
j The walls will be strong enough to
withstand any attempted outbreak by
the prisoners. There will be 48 bunks,
and accommodations for eight guards.
I although that number will not be em
ployed.
There will be a guardroom where an
armed guard will be stationed during
the night. His room will be so ar
ranged that he can see the actions of
the prisoners In his charge, and steel
bars will protect him from an attack
in the event of an attempted jail deliv
ery. A large furnace will supply heat,
and two bathrooms will be provided for
the prisoners.
The structure will cost about J3000
and similar buildings may be erected
close to other rock quarries.
The prisoners are to be worked ten
hours a day getting the rock from the
butte and crushing it. A traction engine
will haul the rock to the crusher. Kelly

Pacific Express Company has been in

business on all the Northern Pacific

He rests; that weary, wandering child, of
birth unknown, of manners mild;
He sleeps beneath a Summer's sun. where
rank and color are unknown.
No more along our teeming street wUl Julius
drag his faltering feet;
No more hie haunts will greet his call mell-
fluous tones "Play ball, play ball."
No more In gorgeous robes atlred will Julius
pose, adored, admired;
No more in Shakespear's measured liner? will
Julius mix his wit and wines;
No more the Mascot of the field, no mors the
eloquent appeal
On stump, on etage and bar-room floor;
Great Caesar's dead, he pleads no more.
For eighty suns this child of mirth. Ill-bred,
Ill-fed. Ill-wed, In dirt.
Has lived a slave, a clown, a king andt now
his spirit doth take wing.
And to Virginia's friendly shore returns to
rest forevermore.
That Julius sleeps a peaceful sleep; that
memory green his grave will keep;
That Caesar answered Nature's call, we know.
Vale "Play ball, play ball."
