BIG "GRAB" PLAN
T
Wharfowners Below Burnside
Bridge Want a New
Harbor Line.
40 FEET PAST OLD MARK
Port Commission Recommends the
Change Under Mistaken Idea
That United States Engi
neers Approve.
Ds!rir.s; to extend their wharves be
yond the present harbor line, between
Burnside and Steel Bridges, on the west
side of the river. C. F. Adams, for the
Portland Gas Company; L. A. Lewis, for
Allen & Lewis: J. C. Flanders, for the
Flanders estate, and others for the O. B.
& X., have been trying for three years
to have the harbor line marked out into
the stream Last Thursday the Port of
Portland Commission recommended in
their favor. Mr. Adams is a member of
the commission; also one of the O. B. &
X.'s pilots. Captain Pease. Mr. Adams
n'as particularly active in getting the rec.
ommendatlons through the board.
The harbor line change would add an
Immense value to the frontage holdings
that are seeking it by increasing their
wharf area and freeing them from the
Bxpense of dredging, which they must pay
for under present conditions, in order to
make their frontage valuable. These
privileges w6uld cost them nothing and
would make the present wharves when
enlarged among the most desirable in the
city.
Would Narrow the Harbor.
But this advantage to the private own
ers would bring disadvantage to the pub
lic interests of the port, by narrowing the
harbor, which is already too small for
shipping needs.
A strip of water 1SS0 feet long and some
40 feet wide would be taken from the
harbor and added to the abutting wharf
frontage. When the change was pro
posed three years ago the frontage own
ers wanted a strip some SO feet wide and
90 feet wide at the gas company's wharf,
but this was opposed by Mayor Langfitt,
then in charge of this engineering dis
trict. Unless supported by stronger ar
guments than already adduced, it will be
oppose by Lieutenant-Colonel Roessler,
now in charge.
The War Department has the marking
of the harbor line. The recommendation
of the resident engineer, while not con
clusive in the matter, has probably the
deciding influence with the Secretary of
War. The recommendation of the Port
Commission was rendered in .response to
Colonel Roessler's request for its opinion.
The attitude of the river pilots, in their
responses to Colonel Roessler's request
for their views, was passive.
Langfitt Opposed to Change.
Promoters of the harbor line change have
represented that Major Langfitt did not
oppose it. but the fact is that his recom
mendation was adverse. They have rep
resented that Major Roessler approves,
when the truth is that he has not decided
either way. but will probably also be ad
verse, unless stronger reasons for the
change shall be adduced than have been
forthcoming He said last night that only
the strongest and most imperative rea
sons would induce him to recommend any
change of lines that would diminish the
harbor area.
"Those reasons." he remarked, "are
not yet In my possession, and it is up to
those persons seeking the change to make
a case. The present width of the river
harbor should be maintained unless there
be very impelling reasons for narrowing
it at any point.
"Several months ago. after being visited
by a committee that asked extension of
the harbor line SO feet. I drew a. tentative
line inside that distance, in order to bring
the question before the pilots, the Port
Commission and others for discussion. I
then said distinctly, in a letter to the
Commission, that I was not committed
to the line, and that I reserved my recom
mendation until I should hear all argu
ments on the subject. If the Port Com
mission will refer to my letter it will find
that my attitude."
Owners Have Worked Three Years.
To carry through the proposal of ac
quiring more water in front of their
wharves, the owners have conducted an
unceasing campaign for the past two or
three years. First they held conferences
with the river pilots, and got some of
them to go on record as saying that they
would not fight the proposition. After be
lieving the majority of the pilots on their
side, they next began to agitate the ques
tion among the members of the Port of
Portland Commission.
C. F. Adams is treasurer of the com
mission and president of the gas com
pany. He would benefit by the deal fully
as much as any of the other owners, if
not more, and has urged the extension
on his board colleagues. Every time that
the question was up for consideration he
was among the first to advance reasons
in its favor.
It is barely possible that he had another
motive in view by taking such a decided
stand, it Is explained. A suit is Imminent
against him, or the Portland gas works,
in the United States Court, for permit
ting fuel oil and tar to get into the river
from the gas tank. Because of this leak
age, It Is claimed that the entire bottom
of the river in the vicinity of the gas
plant is coated with tar. If the United
States Government should deed his com
pany the property in front of the gas
dock, the suit might not be brought. In
asmuch as he would be injuring only his
own holdings.
Adams in Defense.
Mr. Adams asserts that the river front
involved will never be of value to com
merce, because the Eurnside-street bridge
has shoaled the river along the west bank
to a point near the Steel bridge. He said:
"The move will help instead of injure
the harbor. It will permit big ships to
load and discharge alongside more docks
than at present. As the disputed bit of
property now stanas. it is or xto value:
the water is so shallow that the docks
are useless. It is no good for farming,
because the water is too high to permit
of plowing. It cannot be used as a fish
ing ground, ancl no one has any idea of
putting up a shipbuilding plant there. The
new line is only 40 feet beyond the pres
ent boundary at the most, but for a part
of the way It Is only a few feet wide,
running gradually to the 40-foot limit."
"Couldn't these shoals be dredged
out the same as in front of other docks
In the city?" was asked Mr. Adams.
"Oh, yes. I suppose so." was the re
ply, ""out a dredge would be kept busy
a great deal of the time."
Lewis Speaks for Change.
L. A. Lewis admitted that he might
be prejudiced, but said:
'I cannot see any reason why the
harbor line should not be extended.
The river opposite la as wide as in
other parts of the city. The building
HYEfl
FRON
of Burnslde-street bridge has made a.
shoaling in the river in front of this
property and today it Is Impossible to
bring in vessels that were ordinarily
brought before the building of the
bridge. The only possible objection
ran come from the lumber people, who
are Interested in having log rafts
brought up the river. Their objections
are not well founded, because the city
will not allow them indefinitely to go
on towing such long rafts as they are
r.ow doing. With shorter rafts the
extension of the harbor line would
prove uf no detriment."
Another member on the commission
who might be influenced to work in the
interest of the property owners, it is
said, is Captain. A. L. Pease, president
of the commission. He Is in the employ
of the O. R. & X., which would reap a
great benefit. Pease's honesty has never
been questioned, but it is held that he
is placed In a very awkward position.
It his employers tell him to do a certain
thing, and the Captain believes that it
will prove of a great accommodation to
them, it is stated that he might feel
disposed to comply with their request
even against his better judgment At
any rate the commission contained two
supporters of the extension proposition
from the start and other members of the
board gradually dropped into line.
Danger From Floods.
A pioneer Portlander, who has watched
the commerce of this port expand from
small proportions, says that If the har
bor line should be extended out to the
point sanctioned by the Port of Portland
Commission It would be the means of
narrowing the river and causing it to
overflow its banks. He explains that It
is already a narrow part of the river
and avers that the cutting off of a 400
foot slice from the river bed would make
so limited an area that the first Winter
freshet in the Willamette would cause
the river to overflow and inundate the
lower part of the city up as far as Sixth
street. He characterized the proposal of
the property owners asking for the
change in the line as a steal, cold and
simple.
W. D. Wheelwright, member of the
Commission, said that abutting property
owners had been trying for years to get
the harbor line extended 80 feet beyond
its present boundaries. "They brought
the matter up before the Chamber of
Commerce when I was president of that
body two years ago." declared Mr. Wheel
wright, "and asked our Board of Trus
tees to endorse the movement, but this
action was not taken. A petition was
sent to Major Langfitt at that time, pray
ing for the desired relief, and while the
engineer did not announce publicly that
he approved the scheme, he did say that
he could not see where any harm would
be done if the line was extended out 40
feet. This is the widest part of the river,
between the Steel and Madison street
bridges.
"At last Thursday's meeting of the
Commission we were informed ythat the
present United States engineers did not
oppose the 40-foot extension and that the
pilots approved It. so as guardians of the
harbor we passed a motion declaring that
we saw no objection to the move desired
by the property owners."
Views of Mr. Willis.
"All hands seemed to agree on the line
approved by us yesterday," said P. L.
Willis, "and so we recommended to the
War Department that the extension be
made. The matter has been under dis
cussion for some time, and we understood
that at last the United States engineers
had agreed on the line we selected. The
abutting property owners wanted a line
much farther out."
Commissioners John Drlscoll and G. B.
Thomas stated the case as did the other
members of the Harbor Guardian Board.
Captain A. L. Pease and J. C. Ainsworth,
the other Commissioners, were not in the
city yesterday afternoon, but the first
named is known to be a champion of the
proposed extension. Mr. Ainsworth has
been in the East for several weeks.
In 18(4 the question was brought before
Major Langfitt. then at the head of the
local corps of United States engineers in
this district. After inquiring thoroughly
into the subject by calling special meet
ings of steamboat men, pilots and others
interested in the welfare of local com
merce the Major sent a report to Wash
ington recommending that the proposed
extension be not granted. As a repre
sentative of the allied interests owning
the property whose value an effort was
being made to enhance. J. Couch Flanders
appealed from the findings of- Major
Langfitt and succeeded in gaining a hear
ing from the "War Department.
On arrival of Lieutenant-Colonel Roes
sler at Portland agitation for the exten
sion of the harbor line was renewed. He
requested that the views of the navigators
and members of the Port of Portland Com
mission be submitted to him. He says he
infers that the commission made its rec
ommendation at its last meeting, al
though he has not been officially advised.
WANTS TO BE ANNEXED
Woodstock Will Ask Council to Ex
tend City Limits.
At a meeting of the Woodstock Push
Club last night It was decided to take
steps to ask the Portland Council for
opportunity to vote on annexation at
the coming June election. A petition
will be prepared for this purpose. This
action was taken for the reason it was
found that there was no other way to
obtain Bull Run water. The Mount
Scott district is expected to Join this
movement.
It was reported at this meeting that
Manager Fuller had stated to the com
mittee asking for extension of the
Woodstock railway that the Portland
Railway Company is not now making
any extensions, but only improving its
present lines. He said, however. If a
bonus of about J5000 was raised by the
people there the extension might be
undertaken. No action was taken.
It was decided to have all street
intersections marked, and as soon as
this is done to start a movement for
free mall delivery. A committee of
one was appointed to consult with
Postmaster Minto on this subject. In
the matter of better car service, a com
mittee was appointed to ask that there
be improvement on the Woodstock
branch. County Commissioner Light
ner announced that the road leading
to Woodstock -will tie covered with
crushed rock, work to start next week

VOTE NEW BUILDING
Oregon Agricultural College
Will Erect Dormitory.
REGENTS SPEND $75,000
Long-Felt Want of Institution to
Provide Modern Quarters for
Girl Students Is Soon
to Be Filled.
Authorization of the erection of a girls'
dormitory at the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege to cost $75,000 was made at a meeting
of the boara of regents of the institution
held last night in the parlors of the Im
perial Hotel. President J. K. Weather
ford, of Albany, and Secretary John D.
Daly, of Corvallls. were instructed to
award contracts for the building, actual
work upon which will begin within a few
weeks. The new dormitory, which will
have aocommodations for 300 students,
will be completed in readiness for the
Fall term of next year. As the college
is greatly overcrowded, the next Legisla
ture may be asked to appropriate a large
sum for the erection of another dormi
tory for boys and the enlargement of
other buildings.
The meeting last night was special, hav
ing been called for the purpose of author
izing the erection of the dormitory. It
was about the only question of import
ance that was considered. At the 1905
session of the Oregon Legislature a bill
was passed appropriating $65,000 for the
erection of a girls' dormitory and a drill
shed at the Oregon Agricultural College.
The appropriation was held up by the
referendum until the last June election.
The members of the board deemed it
advisable to abandon the idea of a drill
shed for the present, as there is pressing
need for a dormitory. The extra $10.00
to be added to the $65,000 appropriated by
the state will be taken from the fixed ap
propriation of $25,000 per annum received
from the state.
The new dormitory will be of brick and
stone construction and of two stories in
height, with a large basement, which will
be practically the same as another floor.
The new structure will consist of a cen
tral structure from each end of which
will project two wings in the form of a
"double L." In the two wings the girl
students will have apartments and in the
central structure will be located the
household science classrooms. It will be
WOMEN'S CLUB OPENS SEASON
WITH ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING
THE opening meeting of the Women's
Club for the Winter season was
held yesterday afternoon in the
Elks' Hall and fully 300 members and
guests were in attendance. The new
president. Mrs. W. Wynn Johnson, and
her assistant officers took their chairs,
and the occasion was made one of a dis
tinct social character by the large re
ception which followed the programme.
Mrs. Johnson proved an efficient and
graceful presiding officer, giving promise
of being one of the most progressive and
entirely satisfactory presidents the club
has ever had. Her greetings were re
ceived with enthusiasm, and her brief
address gave indication of a keen per
ception, a tactful personality and of great
executive ability.
The vacation period formed the basis
for the first programme, and interesting
five-minute papers were read by Mrs. Jay
Smith. Mrs. M. Baruh. Mrs. B. F. Weaver
and Mrs. D. C. Burns on the following
subjects: "The Beach," "The Hills."
"Travels" and "At Home." The music
of the afternoon was a decided treat,
Mrs. Nelta Barlow Lawrence, of San
Francisco, being the soloist. Mrs. Law
rence is a former resident of Portland,
and there were many old friends to greet
her. She has a. delightful contralto voice
of great range and sympathetic quality,
and her numbers were deeply appreciated
and enjoyed by the club, which, by the
way, is accustomed to only the best in
the music line.
The large parlors of the Elks Hall were
thrown open for this occasion and artis
tically decorated In greens, and after a
delightful buffet lunch in the supper-room
the members and guests gathered there.
There were greetings between the many
who have not met since the close of the
last club season, and many new and pros
pective members were irttroduced and
made to feel at home The meeting was
one of the largest and most successful
held by this organization in several years,
and it savored of a club year which will
be replete with interesting work and good
results. In her address of greetings,
Mrs. Johnson said:
Women", as well as men, need mental con
tact, a comparison of Ideas, for two reasons
at least; first, to receive the necessary mental
stimulus, and. second, to balance up their
notions and estimates of matters. The .con
tact we experience In our clubs, while striv
ing for our particular Ideals, matures our
judgment on questions. The perpetual vigi
lance of even the best student among us, who
live to herself, will not prevent her from
falling Into error. Such a lonesome searcher
after truth becomes one-sided, gets into a
rut, becomes overly sensitive and touchy when
her pet theories are accidentally criticised in
company, and loses that natural poise of mind
which comes from the well-stored Intellect
accustomed to a little distrust of her own
wisdom. The spirit of honest Inquiry and
mutual self-help will develop, by co-operative
consideration of questions, more dependable re
sults than can ever be arrived at single-handed.
The most intelligent men and women ac
knowledge that human character is both de
veloped and disciplined by the amiable rivalry
and latent ambition that is awakened by a
club for study and mutual Improvement, such
ours. Show me a woman possessed of the
modern In every respect, and will be' a
creditable addition to the college.
At the meeting last night President
Weatherford was authorized to make a
requisition on the Chief of Ordnance of
the United States Army for 300 Springfield
magazine rifles, of 30-caliber, and equip
ments, to replace the. 300 cadet rifles now
in use at the college and also to replace
the two muzzle-loading three-inch rifles
with more modern guns. Also for an ad
dition of ISO United States magazine rifles
of 30-caliber and for two sets of signaling
apparatus. consisting of heliographs,
torches and flags for visual signaling. At
present but 300 rifles are available at the
institution for cadets at drill.
The members of the board of regents
who attended the meeting last night
were: President Weatherford, Albany:
Governor Chamberlain. Secretary Dun
bar. Superintendent of Public Instruction
Ackerman; Mrs. John B. Waldo. Marion

"Why. do you know,' was hla earnest
reply, "I saw no old women in America, X
went to the club, to the church, to the the

the fact that the American woman of today
finds it a glad and beautiful task to take on

The women of our country remain young
and active in spirit because they not only
make themselves prominent in the dissemina

material aid in putting into effect civic and
social reforms. It is the drones, the do-nothings,
those who shut themselves up within
four walls, who become disheartened and
weary of life and its activities.
In the literary, civic and social affairs of
our community the Woman's Club of Port

on several occasions has earned the welcomed

CHAUFFEUR IS ASSAULTED
DISPUTE OVER AUTO HIRE IS
CAUSE OF BLOWS.
Sportive Trio Object to Paying Price
of Ride to Milwaukie Gam
bling Resort.
After receiving a severe blow on the
head from one of a patty of three gay
automobilists in front of the Milwaukie
Club, after a long argument about the
price of a ride from the city, George Os
born, chauffeur of Fred T. Merrill's auto
mobile, took out a large monkey wrench
from under the sea.t of the car, and
flourishing It as he would a revolver,
threatened to shoot everyone in the party
unless they let him alone. Biff. bang,
went another blow on Osborn's head and
the wrench was jerked out of his hand.
He reached for another tool, but blows
rained so fast on his head that he Jumped
Into the auto and rushed away for the
Town Marshal.
The whole trouble started about the
price of a ride from the city to the club.
Three young men. fashionably attired,
hired a large automobile of Bstes Broth
ers In ' front of the Louvre Cafe, and
asked to be taken to the place "where
real money Is played." The party went
up Washington street and one of them
alighted in front of a store near the Per
kins Hotel to make a purchase. While he
was out the tire on the automobile blew
up and the chauffeur had to give up the
passengers and return to the garage. The
three, not to be daunted, hired Merrill's
automobile at Sixth and Washington and
told Osborn, the chauffeur, to drive them
to the Milwaukie Club, or rather "within
three or four blocks of it. so they would
not be seen."
On the way the party was very gay.
The trio threw out cigars by the handful
to pedestrians, and In other ways made
things lively. When they arrived at the
Milwaukie Club. Osborn told them the
ride cost J7.50. This seemed exorbitant
to one of the party and he gave the
chauffeur a $5 gold piece. Osborn re
monstrated and asked for the balance.
He finally consented to take the 55. when
another member of the party demanded
the money back. Osborn declined and the
man struck him. The scene with the
wrench and the fight followed.
Osborn found the Milwaukie Town Mar
shal, but when he arrived at the club
the trio had already left for Portland by
trolley. Osborn. with Merrill, the owner
of the car. came down to the police sta
tion and complained about the affair to
Captain Bruin, who made an investiga
tion last night, but could not And the
three men who assaulted Osborn. The
latter Is positive he can identify the men
and It Is probable that warrants will be
sworn out for their arrest today.
DEVIL IS A WINNER.
Latest Argument in Spiritism Spir
itualism Taikfest.
VANCOUVER, Wash.. Oct. 12. (To the
Editor.) In his letter of last Wednesday
Elder Snyder refuses to enter into oral
public discussion on the subject of the
devil and spiritism, and Intimates that
the stock argument of the spiritists is
ridicule. He is mistaken. Ridicule is not
argument, and, so far as I am concerned,
none was Intended or intimated. Another
mistake, and a common one. is the use
of the word spiritism, where spiritualism
is Intended. Spiritism is the study of the
phenomena, and may be coldly material
istic, while spiritualism expresses faith
and belief in things spiritual, and is the
creed, so to speak, of the movement.
As to the evidence that the devil is the
source of all spirit communication, that
will always depend upon belief in the real
ity of the existence of the devil. To the
Adventist the devil is an awful, fearful
reality, while In the spiritual philosophy
there is no place for either an angry god
or a personal devil. Fear of the devil
was the most potent factor in hindering
the advance of the race toward freedom
and civilization, and Is just as potent to
day among those who believe In him.
Thus the Adventist knows but little of
what goes on in the world in the realms
of science and discovery, because he reads
nothing but his own literature, and that
is based on a narrow, one-sided inter
pretation of the Bible.
Of the honesty of the Adventist position
there can be no question, but for Mr.
Snyder to say that there is no Bible evi
dence of intercourse with spirits except
what is condemned is to take ground that
cannot be substantiated. Did space per
mit, many instances could be cited to
prove the contrary. As It is. I would
advise those interested to hear Elder Sny
der or other Adventists on this subject,
then hear the other side and decide for
themselves. Free and full discussion is
fatal to error. Devils are the children of
ignorance, and where knowledge goes
devils flee. If the .devil were a reality
we should be glad to have him on our
side, as all past history shows he was
always a winner for knowledge and prog

department, and living at 62S Third street.
Portland, Or., says: "Doan's Ointment Is,
without any exception, the best prepara
tion on earth for the purposes for which
Its use is recommended. For two years I
was troubled with the worst kind of itch
ing and bleeding hemorrhoids. I tried one
remedy after another and was treated by
physicians, but I got no relief until I pro
cured a box of Doan's Ointment at a local
drugstore. The first application gave me
relief, and in two or three weeks I was
completely cured. Since then I have been
free from the tormenting afillntion."
