NOT
WATER
PROTECTS RIGHTS
chairman of committee
Drafted Bill Explains
Provisions,
That
Its
WILL MEET REQUIREMENTS
Charge of Discrimination Against
.Power Companies Without Basis.
Jifrlit of Riparian Owners
Somewhat Curtailed.
Protection of -present ested water
rights a nd a determination of the extent
of all unappropriated rights are the pur-
Vfisfs sought to bfi served by the new
wator code, the text of which waa pub
lished yesterday hy The Oregonian. The
proposed new code was prepared by a
.pedal committee appointed by the Port-
)and Board of Trade and the members of
t iiia committee are of the opinion If it is
enacted by We Legislature and its pro
visions are strictly enfareed. the measure
will fulfill all that In expected and re
quired of It. The determination of the
water rights of the state and the extent
4o which they have been appropriated arc
onuidered vital as affecsting the further
Krnwth and development of this section.
, "The slight objection and criticism
urged against the bill. I am satisfied, are
due to a misconception or a misunder
KiandlnR of the provlnions of the pro
posed law," said G. -W. Allen, chairman
of the committee that drafted the bill.
in dfscuBsinir the merits of the measure
yesterday af ternoon. "All - -vested existing
rights are secured to the holder by the
terms of the proposed hew code and be-
aides, these r.Khts are protected by the
constitution." explained Mr. Allen. "The
real purpose of the "bill Is to determine
the extent ot the water rights already ap
propriated and to ascertain how ' much
surplus water there rf mains subject to
Appropriation and to establish rules and
regulations for the administration of
these rlsrhts for a beneficial purpose and
in the Interest of the state's material de
velopment. "The first section of the bill In itself
nhould allay all opposition and criticism
on the score that It proposed to disturb
the existing: vested rights of water appro-
prlators. Sections 1, which gives the
purpose of the bill, reads as follows: 'All
waters within the state from all sources
of water -supply belong to the public,
and, subject to existing' rights to their
use, may be appropriated for beneficial
use.'
Present Law Hinders Development.
"Under the law now In effect there U
an entire absence of administration of
these rlfrhts and their resnilatlon. All j
that is necessary is for a man to make a
tiling and have the same recorded. There
Is no limit to the appropriation he may
make, neither Is It required that he pro
ceed to make beneficial .use of the rights
so appropriated. The result Js that the
right to this water is held for speculative
purposes In many Instances thereby pre
venting Its beneficial use in agricultural
or manufacturing pursuits. There Is a
provision In the new law which provides
that water when appropriated shall be
used for the purposes for which It is
taken within a speeffled time or the ap
propriation is canceled and made avail
able for others desiring the use of the
same.
"In the passage of this bill by the
Legislature, there will be presented a
new feature In the manner of court pro
cedure in determining; the vested rig-hts
of claimants to water power in the dif
ferent streams of the state. In order to
determine these vested rights, there Is a
jrovlslon In the bill providing that a
hjdrographlc survey be made of all
streams by the State Engineer in which
lie will get the entire flow of the whole
tream system and the amount of all
appropriations together with the names
of the approprlators. The State Engineer
will then deliver a copy of this survey,
tojrethor with all data compiled, to the
Attorney-General of the state who will
within 60 days thereafter, nie suit In the
name of the state and diligently prose
cute the same against every person
clalminir the right to any of the water of
the particular stream. Each claimant
will be required to come into court and
make a defense in order that his rights
may be adjudicated. Under conditions as
they now exist it Is impossible to know
to what extent these rights have been
appropriated, while the average Indi
vidual is In a quandary as to whether or
not he has any rights at ail. After the
survey has been 'made, the rights of the
contending parties will be established in
the courts and what water is discovered
to be unappropriated may then be filed
upon.
"Under the proposed law. the state is
divided into water divisions, over which
a water superintendent and water com-
miasloners have charge. These officers
are vested with' police power and at the
conclusion of a trial of any auit involv
ing title to water rights, they are to be
lurmsnea wun a copy of the decree and
becoming acquainted with the rights of
me. contestants, win assist the rightful
claimant in tne protection of his - rights.
Tower Concerns Fostered,
"As another objection to the DronoseH
code. It has been charged that power
companies and manufacturing Institutions
are discriminated against. Such Is not
the case.' These larger concerns can de
fend their present rights and are oer-
mltted to come in and appropriate water
tor tneir uses on the same basis as the
agriculturist for agricultural purposes
irrigation is not the only beneficial pur
pose to which water can- be placed and
there is nothing In the proposed bill that
tan In any way restrict a still further
application of this great power for manu
facturing purposes.
"The members of the committee feel
that the bill as proposed contains two
especially meritorious features. An ad
jnlntstrative system Is supplied for re
Btricting and regulating the exercise of
the rights afforded by the bill. This
means of administering- the law can only
be made effectual as to present vested
rights when those rights are determined.
lAnother good point Is that the annrO'
relator must apply to a beneficial use
the water included by hia appropriation
-within a specified time or forfeit that
right, which then becomes subject to
a subsequent appropriation by another
individual.
'If passed and enforced, the new law
win nave tne errect of curtailing the
r..its of riparian owners, who enjoy the
undiminished and unpolluted flow of the
stream over which they exercise this ex
clusive use. Under the proposed law,
the right of condemnation of streams is
no longer restricted to corporations but
may -be resorted to by Individuals for
whom it may become necessary to obtain
water for irrigation or other beneficial
purposes. However, the owner of th
land, from which the water Is thus taken
, enough water must be left In the stream
to . meet all of - his needs for Irrigation
and for domestic uses." .
The proposed code Is the product ot
more than nix months' thorough study,
by- lie members of the committee, of the
existing unsatisfactory conditions relating
to water appropriations. The first meet
ing; of the committee was held last
August and frequent conferences fol
lowed. The code that has been drafted
will be submitted by the committee to
the Legislature. accompanied toy the
recommendation of State Engineer lewls
that the bill be enacted.

"THE MISSION OF MIRTH"
Subject ot lecture at Taylor-Street
Church by Thomas McClary.
Thomas (McClary, the well-known
lecturer, spoke last night at the Tay
lor Street Methodist Church on "The
Mission of Mirth," and kept a large
crowd Intensely interested for two
hours. The burden of his message was:
that church members In particular and
other people in general should culti
vate mirth In their natures more than
they do. He brought out that men
will spend millions for the laugh
provoking, and that if people can not
crack a smile in church they will eo
elsewhere to do so. In thought he
carried his hearers from hades to
heaven, and from tears of grief to
tears of erlee.
Mr. McClary told of some signs he
"had seen along the streets, among
them being one which read "Shoes
Shined Inside." and a pair of old shoes
which he saw in Missouri and which
bore the Information "Maid Inside."
Mr. MoClary could not resist the temp
tation, so he looked in. lie advised
all the sisters of the congregation who
might have gloomy pictures hanging
on the walls at home to take them
down.
Mr. McClary is making a tour of the
Coast, haying Just come up from Cali
fornia. After he has visited the prin
cipal towns in Oregon he will go to
Seattle.
BUILDING PERMITS LARGE
Total for First Business Day of the
Jew lar, $134,300.
Building permits amounting to $134,300
were issued by the City Auditor yester
day, the first business day of the new
year. The large permits taken out may
be taken as a forerunner ot the heavy
building movement which Is certain to
continue throughout 1907. That the move
ment during the coming year will be even
In excess of that of 1906 Is the opinion
of those who are In touch with the many
projects now planned.
The largest permit taken out yesterday
was for an addition to the Wetnhard
brewery, on Twelfth street, between
Burnslde and Couch, amounting to $60,000.
A permit was also obtained for the three-
story prick residence which Is to be
erected on Twentieth street, between
Johnson and Irving, by A. 1. Mills, at a
cost of S4O.O00. A Unnsden procured a
permit for a frame store on Williams
avenue, between Bain and Alberta, which
is to cost $10,000. The remaining- per
mits issued were of smaller amounts.
LARGE SUMS ARE HANDLED
rollce Captains Take Care ot f 87,-
862, Mostly Ball Money, In 1908.
During the year 1906. Captains Moore,
Bailey and Slover of the Police Depart
ment, handled the enormous sum of $87.
S62.65, and not one cent of it went astray.
The large amount of money handled by
the police captains during 1906 was" taken
In on bail of prisoners arrested for nearly
every crime and misdemeanor on the
statute books of the city and state. The
Captain In command at headquarters fre
quently Axes bail in eases where the
Municipal Court officials have not done
so, and the amount is taken and receipt
given fpr the same. Each day the amount
collected is turned over to Prank TX Hen
nessey. Cleric of the Court. - The work
required to take care of so large a sum
of money is great, and because of the
time It takes Chief Gritimacher has
recommended that someone be provided
to have charare of the court funds, to re
lieve the police captains of the extra
burden.

American war he was in command of the
Ill-fated Valencia, when that vessel was
in the transport service. Retiring from
the Valencia, Captain Lane went to
Alaska and sought for gold but failed
to strike a pay streak. He again went to
sea, this time in command of the old
bark Kennebec. On the voyage around
the Horn his vessel was dismasted and
put into Montevideo for repairs. Three
days after putting to sea from the South
American port the bark's foremast and
the main top-gallant-mast were carried
away. Captain Lane put back and re
paired .a second time. On reaching his
destination he retired to a pigeon ranch
In New Jersey and remained there until
an offer was made him to bring the Santa

JOHN MONTAG STEPS DOWN
Member of Executive Board Tenders
Resignation to Mayor.
The resignation of John Montag as a
member of the Executive Board has been
submitted to Mayor Lane, who has ac
cepted. No reason is assigned for the
action of Mr. Montag, but there is every
reason to believe that it Is the direct re,
suit of a recent controversy In which tt
was. brought out that he had repeatedly
violated the provisions of the City Char
ter by signing requisitions for supplies
which were purchased by the city from
the Portland Stove Works, of which
company he is a member.
Mr. Montag has been associated with
Mayor Tane as one of his offclal board
since the chief executive came into
office.- A few weeks ago it developed that
Mr. Montag. as chairman of the Fire
Committee, had signed requisitions which
were made out In blank, but which were
used to make purchases from the Port
land Stove Works. Mr. Mvitag also
signed and recommended these bills for
payment, and voted in favor of drawing
warrants upon the treasury for the
amounts due.
The resignation of Mr. Montag was
tendered to Mayor Lane last week to take
effect the first ot the year. The action
was kept entirely secret, however, until
yesterday. Mayor Lane has not yet se
lected an appointee for the vacancy.
Sues Former Partner.

G. F. Handley.
SELLS OUT TO HARRY WOOD
Corner at First and Alder Is Ob-
tatned ry Meat Dealer, W ho. It,
Is Said, Intends to Wage
War on Frank L. Smith.
Plrt and A Icier streets seems to be
destined to be the retail meat center
of Portland. Harry Wood, a well-
known meat dealer, yesterday secured
the loaxe of the Rround floor of the
Oddfellows building, paying ll,OO0 for
it to G. F, Handley. Wood at once set
carpenters at work remodeling the cor
ner. The rear portion of trie building:.
fronttnfC on A ldor street. Is occupied
by the FranK. U Smltli Meat Company,
and north and south of the corner on
First street within a block are two
other marketa.
While Harry Wood will conduct the
new market, it is. generally believed
in the trade that It Is really a venture
of the Union M eat Compan unci that
Its object Is to make things warm for
Frank L. Smith, Smith has been "fight-
lng the beef trust for many months
by cutting prices, and has built up a.
big- retail business there. The officials
of the Union Meat Company deny posl-
tively that they have any connection
with Harry Wood's proposed market,
but it is pointed out by other butchers
that the elimination of Smith as a re
tailer and wholesaler will mean much
more to the Union Meat Company than
to Wood. Harry Wood has a large
market on NorUi Sixth street, and is
well able to carry through the exten
sive undertaking involved in securing
the lease on the Odd fel lows building:.
But whether It Is Wood or the Union
Meat Company that is back of the deal,
there Is very likely to be some excite-
Ing times in the meat trade in that
vicinity. ' .
frank Smith does not seem to be dis
turbed by his change of neighbors. He
declares that "Wood Is only a repre
sentative of the Union Meat Company,
and that the move was made for the
purpose of forclnp him out of business.
Asked if he would seek another loca
tion, he replied: "I will still be found
at the old stand here after the other
fellows have quit business."
The best satisfied man connected
with the whole deal, probably, is O. r'.
Handley, who held the lease on the
ground floor of the Oddfellows build
ing. Mr. Handley took a five-year
lease on the premises October 1. at
$350 a month. He used the corner as a
confectionery establishment, leased the
adjoining room to Jerry Luccl. a res
taurant man. and the Alder-street
store to Frank U Smith. Both Smith
and Luccl carry five-year leases. The
Hibernla Bank, which acted as inter
mediary between rlandley and Wood,
patd the former $11,000 for his lease.
Mr. Handley believes that beats any
thing for quick turns, considering the
money invested, in the history of Port
Land business transactions.
SWIFT TO INVADE OREGON CITY
Bitter War in the Meat Trade of That
Place Promised.
OREGON cm', Or., Jan. 2. (Spe
cial.) Negotiations are understood to
be pending for the. purchase of the
meat business of Charles Albright by
representatives of Swift &. Company,
who are desirous of forcing the retail
dealers of this city to buy the dressed
product of the company in Portland.
Instead ot securing meat 'on the lioof
from farmers of Clackamas County
and operating their own slaughter
houses. Swift's representatives were here
about a month ago looking over the
ground, and reports have been current
since that the purchase of one of the
local shops was contemplated. If the
deal is consummated, Oregon City will
witness bitter warfare between local
dealers and the Swift. shop.

CHILD ALMOST
A SOLID SORE
FroirSkm Disease from Birth Until
Six Years Old Father Spent
Fortune on Her Without Benefit
-Old Doctor Suggested Cuti-
cura, which Cured Her in Two
Months, Leaving
SKIN SOFT AS A BABY'S
AND WITHOUT A SCAR
"I haven C0USID m Rockingham Co.
who once had sv skin disease from her
birth until she was six years of ago.
Her father had spent a fortune on her
to get her cured and none of the treat-
mentadicl heranyattod. Old Dr. G
suggested that he try the Cuticura Rem-
cdies which he did. When ho com-
Tne need to use it the child was almost in v
solid scab. Ho had used it about two
months and the child was well. I was
there when they commenced to use your
Cuticura Remedies. I stayed that week
and then returned home and stayed two
weeks and then went back and Stayed
With them two Weeks longer and when
I went home I could hardly believe she
was the same child. Her skin was as
oft as a baby's without a scar on it. I
have not Seen her in seventeen yeara but
I have heard from her and the last time
I heard from her she was well. That is
where I became acquainted with Cuti
cura. I hope this may be of some ser
vice to you in the future. Mrs W. I
Ingle, Burlington, N. C, June 16, 1905."
