THE SIORNIXG OREGOXIAX, WEDNESDAY, JULY 25, 1906. 11 OREGON HAS MADE OUT STRONG E Evidence Sustains Contentions of This State in Boun dary Dispute. BAR PILOT WOODS WITNESS He Helped Make Original Surrey Forty Years Ago, and " Testifies Channel Has Shifted From Washington Side of River. Testimony believed to be sufficiently convincing to cause the Supreme Court of the United States to sustain the con tentions of the State of Oregon in the boundary dispute was submitted yes terday before the Interstate Boundary Commission of Oregon and Washing ton by U. W. Woods, Columbia Kiver bar pilot. His testimony was very strong, and withstood cross-examination, and those who represent Oregon in the controversy now confidently be lieve that the decision of the Supreme Court will be favorable to this state. Tho commission held sessions at the Hotel Portland both morning and aft ernoon. Captain Woods, who has been a bar pilot for 25 years, and who was a member of the party of the coast sur vey that surveyed the river in 1867-68, testified that at that time the north channel was equally as good as the south channel. He stated that the south channel was more generally used, in fact, and that it was the chan nel of commerce, but he said this was due to the Custom-House being located at Astoria, which caused the vessels to stop there. If the Custom-House had been located on the Washington side he stated that he believed the vessels would have taken the north channel. This is a strong point, and one upon which the representatives of this state place much hope, for the reason that they have been anxious to prove con clusively that when the boundary lines were defined the north channel was navigable. The channel has shifted until it is now within- 400 feet of As toria, and, if the State of Washington should win the suit, all of the fishing grounds north of the middle of the ship channel would be acquired by the Evergreen State. The fishing grounds aggregate millions of dollars of value. It involves a lurger financial consider ation than any suit ever brought by a Western State against a sister com monwealth. When Oregon was admitted to the Union in 1359 tho disputed boundary was thus defined: One marine league at sea due west of and opposite the mid dle of the north ship channel of the Columbia River, thence easterly to and up the middle channel of the river, and where divided by islands, up the mid dle of the widest channel. Oregon contends the boundary is not defined by the present channels of the river, but by the channels of the river at the time the state was admitted to the Union. The Washington repre sentatives maintain that the Govern ment, where a river divides two states, wants each state to have equal rights, and arranges theBe rights by placing the boundary line in the center of the channel. They contend that by the shifting of the channel towards Oregon, Washington has gained that much more territory. The Oregon attorneys desire to show that the north channel was equally as good as the south channel, or the one now in use, and that it could have been maintained by dredging as easily as the present one. Because of the location of the Custom-House, commerce sought the south channel, and the dredgers followed the vessels. This Is why the testimony of Captain Woods is so im portant. While in sitting at Astoria Captain Staples, another pilot of years of ex perience about the mouth of the Co lumbia River, submitted testimony be fore the commission somewhat similar to that of Captain Woods. But Cap tain Woods, who was a Lieutenant in the Coast Survey Service, assisted in the preparation of the map and made a particularly good witness. This morning there will be submitted to the commission a copy of the certi fied act of 1864, whereby Oregon ceded Sand Island to the United States. Wash ington at that time was a territory, and it is thought that evidence that the Government accorded Oregon's sov ereignty recognition will bear consid erable weight with the Supreme Court. The north channel was north of Sand Island. . G. G. Brown, cleric of the State Land Board, was a witness before the com mission. He introduced title deeds show ing that Oregon has exercised sover eignty over the disputed territory since 1870. Captain Woods was before the commission during both the morning and afternoon sessions. He will not conclude his testimony until today. H. G. Van Dusen, of Astoria, will be one of the witnesses examined by the commission today. Oregon is represented by Senator Fulton, Attorney-General Crawford and Harrison Allen, of Astoria, District At torney for the Fifth Judicial District. Washington's representatives are As sistant Attorney-General MacDonald and G. B. Hegardt, of Portland, con sulting enginer of the State of Washing ton. The boundary commissioners are John H Reynolds, of Salem, for Ore gon, and Colonel C. C. Dalton, of Seat tle, for Washington. The commission will probably ad journ today, and the final meeting will be held at Olympia, where testimony favorable to Washington will be intro duced. E. W. Ross. Commissioner of Public Lands for Washington, testified yester day that no protest was made in 1894 against his state selling Desdemona Sands, which is disputed territory. BRUTE WHUMfiNITARIAN ? POLICE INSIST HERMAN AVIS IS A WOMAN BEATER. Girl With Blackened Eyes Is Evi dence, but Davis Declares He Vis ited Her Because She Was 111. Herman Davis is either a misjudged hu manitarian or an unmitigated wretch. Herman says he is a humanitarian and philanthropist. The police insist that he is a wretch. And the police have a shade the better of the argument at the pres ent moment, for they have Herman in a cell at the City Jail. Herman's predicament is the result of a short call which he made upon a young woman acquaintance yesterday. The young woman resides at the Arcade Ho tel, is comely and has appeared to be en joying the best of health of late. Her man has been a frequent visitor. Yesterday, feminine sobs and cries of pain were heard proceeding from the young woman's apartments. They be came so lusty that Patrolman Circle heard them from the street below and at once investigated. Tracing the sounds to their source, he pounded on the door, where upon silence ensued. After repeated knocking the door opened to him. A young woman with a blackened eye and lacer ated face responded. It was plain she had been accorded a severe beating. She denied it, however, and insisted that she had received no visitors lately and was crying because she was sick. The officer, failing to be convinced, went to a near-by telephone to get per mission from headquarters to search for the woman's supposed assailant. While he was thus engaged, the form of a neat appearing young man bolted out the door, went downstairs five steps at a time, and dashed up the street at a speed that gave promise of establishing a new sprinting record. It was Herman. Circle headed after him and ran him down inside of three blocks. He placed him under arrest on a charge of assault and battery, which charge Davis insist ently denied. He explained that the wom an he had been visiting was sick, as she had claimed, and that he had merely dropped in to see if he could be of service. He was a humanitarian, not a woman beater. He offered to prove it by the woman; but the police, having learned that the most 'worthy of women will sometimes shield the most worthless of men If she chances to care a little bit for him, did not avail themselves of the cap tive's offer. So Herman will have to explain to Judge Cameron just how those welts got on the young woman's face and just why he sprinted down the streets when the police dropped around. CAVALRYMAN IS THROWN Fiery Horse Take9 Fright at Car and Dismounts Rider. The Ninth Regiment, United States Cav alry, and a battery of artillery from Fort Walla Walla passed through Portland yesterday en route for American Lake, Wash., where an encampment is to be held. At Williams avenue and Weidler street a fine black charger carrying one of the cavalrymen became frightened at a passing street-car and threw his rider heavily. The plucky soldier scrambled to his feet and made post haste to a saloon on the corner while several of his mounted companions, pursued the fleeing steed. By the time the horse was caught and brought back the soldier had ab sorbed enough balm across the bar to ease his bruises, and mounting his fiery steed, soon regained his place In the ranks. Street-cars were delayed for sev eral minutes. Sicily Is Showered With Ashes. PALERMO, Sicily, July 24. The Vol cano Stromboli, after quieting down, has again become violently active. The ashes reached Sicily. SET OUT TO SEE THE WORLD AND ROB FARMER'S HOUSE Newton Boys of Salem, Reach Astoria, Return as' Tar as Portland and Are Arrested, Footsore and Homesick. OSCAR AND CHARLES NEWTON, aged 13 and 15, who had always lived in Salem, noted, a few days ago, that the horizon extended for many miles in every direction. It occurred to them that the world was quite an affair, and that there might be one or two trifling things outside the borders of their own village. They gathered a few things to gether and started out to Investigate the world at large. The boys concluded before night - that they did not have enough effects to tour the world in comfort. They needed more clothing, more money and some firearms. It is a perilous thing to explore, un armed, a new continent, where there may be wild Indians and things. So the boys found where a farmer and his. family had gone to town, broke into his home and helped themselves. They found, be sides some clothing and sundry trinkets, a repeating rifle. This was Just the thing for use In case of an emergency, and they took It along. The world proved a bigger place than they had anticipated, and for a whole week they walked with hardly a change of scenery. By nights they slept in friendly barns or out in the woods on beds of boughs and ferns, where the blue jays and woodpeckers give alarm-clock recitals every morning at break of day. Sometimes they ate and sometimes they didn't, according to tho generosity of the farmer's wife to whom they appealed for sustenance. The romance of the thing soon died out, and they began longing for that home up in Salem, where meals come three times a day and there is a soft, warm bed to sleep in. They were down In the vinletty of Astoria when they decided the game of seeing the world wasn't worth the candle. Painfully they retraced their steps. The youngsters reached Portland yes terday, weary, footsore and homesick. They determined to wait until a' friendly treignt train came along. That con veyance would get them back to the land of square meals and soft beds Quicker. and it was speed they were looking for by this time. They sat down in the shade of a box-car in the depot yards and waited. Breakfast time had extended into the dinner hour and they were Just talking . or going aneao on loot when two neicrh- uui ly-appeiuius prisons approacneo. xne newcomers called them by name and in quired as to the state of their health. This was a surprise. Indeed, to the young explorers. How did these men in a re mote country like Portland know them? Their fame must have spread abroad, or else their guardians had sent for them to attend a slaying of the fattened calf. "What did you do with those things you iook irom mat farmer's place?" in quired one of their new acquaintances The young globe-trotters were now gen uinely astounded. In their anxiety to get rjacK nome tney naa forgotten all about the recent foraging expedition to the farmer's house. And how did these strangers come to know their secrets, which they had nearly forgotten themselves? "We ain't got no things from any farm er's place." said Oscar, the oldest, glibly. "No, sir: we left 'em up. yonder in the woods," added Charlie, the youngest, seeking to verify his brother's denial. That settled .It. The strangers com pelled them to go to a dingy place up in the heart of the big city. Here they were kept all day in a place that looked like a circus menagerie, except that there were men and women in the steel cages instead of monkeys and circus animals. Last evening an olflcer came down from baiem and .took them home on the train. There is a mysterious thing called the law, which they have got to settle with concerning those things they took from the farmer's place, before they can go back home. 10 FAVORITISM." SAYS THE MAYOR He' Defends Action of the Fire Commissioners in Pur chase of Hose. GOODS BEST FOR THE PRICE Competitive Bid at Same Figure Re jected Because the Quality of Hose Offered Was Infe rior, He Declares. Mayor Dane is emphatic in his denials that favoritism has been shown in the awarding of orders for fire hose by the Executive Board. At a meeting of the Fire Commissioners of the executive Board last week three contracts for hose were let to A. G. Long in a competition where there were a number of bids re ceived. Those who had entered bids against Mr. Long were outspoken in their criticism of the action of the Commis sioners, alleging that favoritism was be ing shown. G. S. West, Portland manager of the Goodyear Rubber Company, was especial ly vehement in his criticism of the award, asserting that fair consideration was not given the other bidders. He stated that he believed there was something radically wrong in the procedure, and made other remarks that were not relished by the Mayor and Commissioners. In answer. Mayor Lane yesterday gave out the fol lowing statement: Statement of the Mayor. All supplies exceeding $250 in valua tion are purchased by open and competitive-bids, after advertising for such bids in the official newspapers of the city. In respect to fire hose, it may be said that before it is accepted every inch of it is tested against a pressure of not less than 3GG pounds, and the date of acceptance is stamped upon the coup lings. . Among the bids submitted for the supply of 7450 feet of 2-inch fire hose to the board at its meeting last week were two for brands which are and for a long time have been in use by the city. All other bids, being for brands less known or unknown, or for brands which had not given satisfac tory service, were rejected. Of the brands considered, both are guaranteed to last for five years and to stand a pressure of 500 pounds to the inch, and both will do so. Both were submitted at the same price of 90 cents per foot why then, should one be selected in preference to the other? The reasons were as follows: The hose which was rejected, we are informed by the chief of the Fire De partment, when put under pressure "creeps" and "buckles" Opon Itself and loses five feet in every 100 feet by so doing. In" 7450 feet of hose, it would have been necessary to purchase 372 y, feet more of it at 90 cents a foot to provide for this loss. The other hose, which was accepted, lies straight under such pressure and does not "buckle" or "creep." The outer fabric or covering of the rejected hose absorbs water and be comes heavy, stiff and hard to handle, and only with much dlf Acuity Is It re placed in the hose wagons, which will carry much less of it for that reason; also, it takes longer to dry it out in the towers after it has been used so we are informed bv the Fire Chief and other members of the departmnt. Says Beat Hose Was Accepted. The hose accepted has a waterproof covering, and does not get wet or heavy, but remains pliable, and more of it can be carried in the hose wagons. In the hose selected by the Board, the outer coat can be removed and re placed by a new one should it become damaged, as, for instance, if cut by a horse stepping on it and "caulking it"; whereas. In the other kind, the two coats are woven together, and when the outer ooat is damaged it cannot be re paired, but must be replaced with new hose. Of the inner rubber tube, both are of good rubber and test out equally well, but in the hose selected the inner sur face of the inner tube is perfectly smooth and presents nothing to cause any friction to impede the flow of wa ter through it: whereas, in the other brand which was rejected, where the rubber is cemented or welded together there is an elevated ridge which runs the full length of the hose, and to that extent lessens its caliber and must cause more or less friction. The couplings attached to the kind of hose selected are much heavier and stronger and better finished, and the threads are smooth and fit accurately; in the kind rejected, they are much lighter, not so well finished, and the threads are rough, and at times in the past it has been found necessary to file and dress them down by hand before the hose could be coupled together and used. - Justifies the Award. These are the points which decided the award of the contract, the price being the same, any and all Of which are open to demonstration to anyone who cares to look into the matter, and upon this showiner I do not see how any censure can justly be laid to the Board of Fire Commissioners for mak ing the award as it did; upon the con trary. I can see how it would have been justly subject to censure if it had awarded the contract differently. If the unsuccessful bidder will put the price of his hose down to the point which will offset the differences noted above, he will be entitled to an award, but until he does I do not see on what grounds he can expect the Executive Board to make him such award. It is the bounden duty of the Board to get the best value for the city for the city's money, and the interests of the citv are greater than those of the in dividual, and must be consulted first. So far as the Board and myself are concerned, we had Just as lief that one man got the contract as another, but we have not the right to accept from one an article that our duty would compel us to reject if it came from an other, nor do we intend to do so. I again sav that any one caring to investigate the statements here made by me, 'and inspect samples of the nose, is cordially Invited to come to my of fice in the City Hall at any time mnd do so. I will say further that both brands of these hose have been Jn use in this citv for manv years, and their qualities are well known to all firemen of this citv. Any statement that any promise was made bv the Executive Board or myself to "divide" the order between the bidders is untrue. Pulajanes to Be Punished. MANILA, July 24.

SHOIES, PARTS' WTLIi CLIMB MOUNT BAKER. Baggage Sent Ahead and Cooks Will Have Dinner Ready When Mountaineers Get to Camp. Anticipating much pleasure In the as cent of oneoX the most difficult snow peaks in the Northwest, Portland's Ma zamas, accompanied by a contingent of Eastern people, left the city last night for Seattle and their camp on the timber line of Mount Baker. The party is made up, for the most part, of experienced mountain-climbers, who. bail with delight the three weeks' outing and the oppor tunity to Indulge once more in their fa vorite pastime. The company which left Portland con tains about 25 members, and is in charge of C. H. Sholes, president of the club, who will have charge of the party throughout the 'entire trip. Nearly all of the lower berths of two Pullmans had been reserved for the ride to Seattle. At Tacoma another contingent will join them and at Seattle a still larger delegation will be in waiting. At Bellingham, where the tourists are to spend tomorrow, by far the largest increase in numbers will be made. . When the Mazamas start out on one of their annual Jaunts it is only after the most thorough preparation, and this time every possible arrangement has been made so that it is believed that the excursion will go off with the smoothness of clock work. All of the baggage was sent ahead Tuesday, so that there will be no trouble Hrith checking suitcases and other luggage. Samuel Collyer, who has been taking an active interest in the preparations at Seat tle, and M. W. Gorman, of Portland, have seen that everything is in readiness in the Sound city, and there will be no delay in the trip to Bellingham. F. H. Kiser. who is in Bellingham tele graphed E. P. Sheldon yesterday that the contract for packing provisions and bag gage to the camp had been let, and that the equipment was already on. the way to the permanent camp, 12 miles' from Gla cier. Cooks and workmen are now sta tioned at the camp, and when the Ma zamas reach their destination after the hard tramp, they will probably And every thing prepared for their reception, with plenty of steaming viands to satisfy their appetites. When the excursionists finally begin the ascent of Mount Baker they will have no professional guide to show them the way up the icy heights. The Maazmas have had too much experience In mountain climbing for that. Members of their own party will be the guides, for they have made many ascents of perilous mountains, and it is felt that they are well able to lead the party. It is believed that- the trip will be one of the most enjoyable ever taken by the Mazamas. The party will contain 80 mem bers, nearly all of them mountaineers, tried and true. They love the sport and believe that there is much more pleasure in mounting over vast fields of ice and snow to the summit of a mountain than there is in spending the Summer vaca tion In comparative quiet at some beach hotel or other Summer resort. Mountain climbing Is strenuous work, but the Ma zamas like it. and the more excursions they take the more anxious they are for their annual dirnb. Women Drown, but Men Are) Saved. HUliETT'9 LANMNG, Lake George. N. T., July 24. Sophia, and Corinne Fid el lan, of Brooklyn, were drowned yestes day afternoon while boating on the lake. The two women, accompanied by their brother, J. Piddian, and Stanley Lynch, of Oliphant, started from this place in a light boat and had rowed about a mile up the lake near Agnes Island,' when the boat was capsized by a heavy squall and all were thrown Into the water. The men clung to the boat and made a brave ef fort to rescue their companions. They were unable, however, to reach them, and both women sank. Two campers put out a skiff the moment the accident hap pened, and succeeded in rescuing Mr. Pid dian and Mr. Lynch. Filipino Labor for Hawaii. MANILA. July 24.
