would join the North Pacific Coast Job
bers and Manufacturers' Association Jn

merce. His was the first public int. ma-
lion of any such movement, of v
much will be heard later. If the plans of
those interested are coniummatd Tom
Tilehartlfcon, who lies charge of the pub-
licilty department of tho Commercial Club,
will transfer hla work to the Chamber.
but otherwise the Commercial Club will
lemaln the same. There 1s a strong senti
ment anions some of the most Influential
members' of ' the organizations that the
publicity work should be done under one
head, be! loving- that if tho efforts of the
three bodies are concentrated that they
will be much more effective and far-reaching.
W. X. Wheel wright, in reading the re
port of the navigation committee, said
that J. P. O'Brien, general manager of
the Harrlman lines in Oregon, had sue-
vested that the matter of towage and
pi lotae on the Columbia River bar
should, be placed In the hands of the
state commlsslson, which would license
and control the pilots and operate the
tugboats, making for the service what
ever charups might be deemed necessary,
and agreeing in such case, provided the
differential could rot be removed, to ab
sorb the pilotage on sailing vessels coin.
in ir to thl. port for the pnrpose of beinir
loaded with export wheat. Air. Wheel
wright eald In part:
"There Is reason to believe that this
service, conducted on a business basis,
would be self-supporting;, and there
would be no difficulty in passing- a bill
that would accomplish a perfect sys
tem of towage and pilotage at the
mouth of the river, tiiat, owing- to nat
ural conditions, needs the best kind of
service instead of the worst, such aa it
now has "
, To Enlarge Port of Portland.
Mr. "Wh eelwrlght also announced that
nothing- would be done about raising
money In Oregon to assist in the work
of deepening- the rivef1 at Its mouth un
til Congress had made Its appropria
tions. I'rse enlargement of the Fort of
Portland and the consequent Issuance
of bond9 to assist In this work la con-
templated. if it is deemed necessary, to
Insure the hasty completion of the
projects now under way.
Y. A. Mcars, In reporting lor the
transportation committee, said that I
A. Lewis, T. X- Honeyman and A, V.
J3iles. assisted by J- N. Teal as attor
ney, will appear before the Interstate
Commerce Commission hearing at Spo-
kane January 14. and endeavor to show
the Commission that Spokane's de
mands are unreasonable and cannot be
granted. He eald:
."It will be for the railroads to show
that rates to their interior points are
reasonable, and that If this Commis
sion forced them to make as low rates
to the Interior as to Coast terminal
points, the order would be unconstitu
tional, as It would be Impossible to car
ry frelsrnt at such low flerures and pay
their fixed charges ln other words, It
would practically be confiscatory in Us
effect."
He spoke of the steamer Ililonian be
ing: withdrawn by the Mataon Naviga
tion Company on the run between Port
land and the Hawaiian Islands, and
oald that the trade that had been built
up Justified the establishment of regu
lar service. He announced that at a

He ended by saying that circumstances j
over which he has no control win
shortly force him to tender his resigna
tion as secretary of the transportation
committee.

the Ford-street trestle on the line of the
Portland Railway, Iiffht & Power Com
pany Monday night William C. Alvord,
Mrs. Alvord and the widow are speeding
on -the North Coast Limited train for
New York, accompanying the remains.
The party left Portland at 2 o'clock yes
terday afternoon. No solution of the
mysterious case is at hand, and theories
of suicide and murder sttll continue to
receive attention. If a murder, the police
have no clew to Dr. Johnson's assailants.
If a suicide, the police have not yet found
the motive.
While still firmly clinging to the theory
ot suicide because of domestic trouble
and financial straits, the police last night
placed under arrest Nona Sack knd Nona
King-. Japanese. deserters from the
steamer Goto Maru. now in the Portland
harbor, and are holding them on charges
of trespass. The two prisoners were
found in an overturned outhouse at
Twenty-first and Stout streets, five blocks
from tne bridge, and information in the
hands of the officials Is to the effect that
they had been living there for at least
one week. They have been mlsslngr from
the steamer that length of time, it was
learned. ' , "
That the Japanese had anything to do
with the de&th of Dr. Johnson the police
scarcely believe, hut it was stated at
headquarters last night that a thorough
Investigation will be made before they
are sent back to the steamer. The Jap
anese were eager to - te turned over to
their captain. They were arrested by
Detective Sergant Baty. United States
Marshal Reed notified Captain Slover of
their presence near the Ford-street bridge.
It was at first thought by some yester
day that a positive clew to substantiate
the murder theory had been secured,
when Mrs. Charles Koulk. .living at the
south end of the Ford-street brldgre. gave
out a statement that ahe heard a scream
Monday night about the time Dr. John
son met his death on the viaduct, and
that she and her husband had seen sus
picious characters loitering: about there
for several weeks. Later, however, Mr.
and Mrs. Foullc appeared at The Orego-
nian office and made a ftreatljr modified
, statement, saying tiiat too much import

said, but they had heard similar noises
every nig-ht.
Hendquartprs Ietrtlve Hellyr. who ia
working with Captain JBrxiln on the erase,
also interviewed Mrs. FoulK, and gives
It fl his positive opinion that no slgnifi-
ranrp attaches to her statements, or as
to what nh bellrved she heard or saw.
Patrolman Alaclcey. who patrols the
beat on which tho baffling affair occurred,
declared yesterday that he passod over
the Ford-street bridge on a Portland
Helprhta car at 7:2 o'clock Monday nlRhl.
and this was but a few. minutes .prior
to the time when Dr. Johnson's manned
body was fonnd 117 feet below, having
been dashed to pieces by the terrible fall.
Miu-key says there was no one ln slrht
when he passed by, and the arc lamp was
dark, and it was a most gloomy place.
Me states that he has always paid par
ticular attention to the brldne, and that
there are very few pedestrians who cross
It after dark. -He states that Mrs, fouik
never called his attention to any suspi
cious characters, alleged to have been
loitering about the viaduct, and that he
never noticed any .himself.
It was stated by Mrs. Johnson and T.
C Alvord that. Ir. Johnson wns on his
way to call upon Tr. A. C Panton, a
member of the Oregon State Board of
Medical Examiners, when he met his
death, but Dr. Panton states that he had
never met Tr. Johnson, and that he did
not know he was supposed to be bound
for his residence that nlplit.
JAPANESE . GRAND OPERA
Elaborate Savage Production of
"Sladam Butterfly" to Come Here.
Frank C. Payne, general press repre
sentative of Henry V.' Savage, was in
the city yesterday. Mr. Payne is making
a. flying" trip to the Coast In the Interests
of "Madam Butterfly," the new Japanese
grand opera which Savage imported last
Pall, and which has proved a decided
success in New York and throughout the
principal Eastern cities.
TTiose who have read John Luther
Long's pathetic tragedy, or who have
seen Blanche Bates' dramatic version of
the story, will readily recognize the pos
sibilities of the piece for grand , opera
purposes.
The company is one of the strongest
ever organized " to sing- grand opera in
lOnglish. But seven cities west of the
Rocky Mountains will be visited Port-
land, Seattle, Tacoma, Vancouver, Butte,
Ban Francisco and Los Angreles.
The local engagement will commence
Thursday . night. March 7. and four per
formances will be given. While here Mr.
Payne arranged for special excursion
rates on the railroads and boat lines. The
company consists of more than lOO people
and travels by special train. Three com
plete seta of principals are carried, and
the production is much more elaborate
than those carried by the Savage Eng
lish Grand Opera Company last year.
The orchestra alone consists of 57 pieces.
Including three conductors. Mr. Payne
leaves today to arrange for the San Fran
cisco engaKement of the company.
How to Care Cold.
The question of how to cure a cold with-
out unnecessary loss of time Is one in
which we are all more or les. Interested
for the quicker a cold is gotten rid of
the less the danger of pneumonia and

Itccoinmenclatlons Cover Xew Pump,
Main and Roscrvolr, Bringing
Tot a I Cost o C I m provement
Vp to $35,000.
A report was presented by Engineer
Clarke to the Water Board at its meet-
inK yeBterday afternoon outlining a plan
to Install another pump, main and reser-
VOir for supplying the Portland Heights
district with water. According to the
statement of the engineer, the rapid ex
ipnulon of the residence district on the
Heights 1 already taxing- the capacity of
the present pumping apparatus, and it is
desirable to make the addition, to the
service Immediately.
The engineer rncammends tho installa
tion of an electric pump with a capacity
for elevating BOO.OOO gallons of water cadi
day to the Hetphts, thus doubling the
present supply- The cost of such appa
ratus he estimates at S6O6O. but the largest
item of expense would be a second 12-lnch
pipe line from reservoir No. 2 to the
Heights. There would be required 9600
feet of pipe, costing $19. 2X
The statement of the engineer also in-
ClUfle? an estimate for a reservoir upon
the Heights. At present the only accom
modation for water storage there Is a BO.-
OOO-fcallan tank. It is thought that It
would be advisable to constTrtict a con-
Crete-lined Dasln with a capacity or mm
gallons. The cost of thla tank and a one-
acre site is estimated at SdnaO. making the
aggregate expenditure Involved S34.SOO.
Action upon tho report of the engineer
was postponed until a future meeting. In
the meantime the Hoard will make an in
vestigation of the prices of land in the
vicinity - of the proposed reservoir site.
as It Is desired to obtain exact figures
before taking any further steps In the
matter.
Ir. O. IT. Ttaffety brought tap the sub
feet of electrolvsis, which has been injur-
lng the Bull Run pipeline ln the vlciinty of
Gresham. Dr. Raffety has been making
nn investigation of the matter and has
found what ho toelleveB will !. a. remrfy.
Upon his motion It was voted to place
copper bands around the main at places
where it Is crossed by electric car lines.
It is thought that the electricity which
has been affecting the pipe comes from
the trolley lines, and It is hoped to di
vert the current by tho copper hands.
The bands which, will be placed around
the pipe will be connected with large
sheets of copper. From the copper sheets
wires will spread out, and by tneans of
this apparatus it Is thought that the elec
tricity will be diverted from the pipes and
completely grounded. - Rngineer Clarke
was directed to Install the copper bands
and plates, which can be done at little
expense. N
It wa reported that the big Highland
main is now ready for service, and it
will soon "be connected with the distri-
button system. Paquet, Glebisch & Jop-
lin will be required to maintain the line
for 90 days, as is stipulated in their con
tract with the city. Certain penalties for
delays in the construction of the line are
pending against this firm, as well as
against other companies which had con
tracts for. furnishing material for the
line. All of these firms will be no tl fled
to furnish statements showing why they
should not be made to forfeit a portion
of their contract prices for exceeding the
time limit. Their replies will -he taken
up at the next regular meeting- of the

Hand in 'hand with the material de

markable growth of the Chamber of C'om-

tive of the business interests and a
barometer of the sentiment of 'Portland's
business men, it has grown and grown
until now, with a membership of 836, it
is the largest strictly commercial organiz
ation possessed by any city west of Chi
cago -with the exception of Lon Angolos.
Nearly new members were added dur-
ln& the year.
Mindful of the splendid work of public
character and common Interest attempted

v sought to become members. Retiring

the Chamber during the year .lust ended
devoted their energies to the exploitation
of Portland and Oregon and the North
west, the protection of the eity's nnd
stn te's interests and to procuring man
advantages of widespread benefit from
the Government. In the wonderful
growth of the membership of the Cham
ber is recognition of their worlc.
President Hoge last night In his address
endeavored to outline the work done by
the Chamber. But so much bas been ac
compllnhed during th past year that he
could but briefly mention the many things
done.
With respect to publicity lie called at-
tentlnn to the thousands of pieces of
literature. including the Chamber l!H)fi
booklet on Portland, which were scat
tered throughout the country. He spoke
of Edward A. Reals' article on the rain-
fall of Oregon which was distributed
through the bureau of "information of the
Chamber and of the weekly articles to
hundred of newspapers all over the
country and abroad. In addition the
Chamber supplied photographs. lantern
slides.- cutn of scenes or Portland and
Oregon with descriptive matter to Frank
G. Carpenter, Barry Mley And A. X.
Fish for their writings and lectures.
He explained the various matters and
measures which the Chamber was now
endeavoring to secure( some of which are
as follows:
To have a revenue cutter stationed at
the mouth of the river "during the Winter
months.
To secure an appropriation for a new
Postofflce building for Portland.
For an Increase In the salaries of the
Postofflce employes, with a view to the
betterment of the service.
For the appointment of a commercial
attache to the Consulates at Yokohama
and Shanghai.
For the recognition of the Pacific
Coast on the Senate and House commit
tees on foreign relations.
Besides these, he referred to the in
terest the Chamber has always taken In
securing; for th Northwest appropriations
for the deepening of the Columbia River
at its mouth, and for other works of
improvements along Its course.
He commended the worlc of Secretary
B. C. Giltner and that of Assistant Sec
retary M. Mosessohn, referring particu
larly of how tireless they were in col
lecting and. distributing more than $260.
000 of the San Francisco relief fund,
without the loss of a penny and at an
expense of leas than J163. He warmly
praised the publishers of the Chamber of
Commerce Bulletin, which is the official
organ of the body, for the merit dis
played by the publication. In speaking
of the much-talked-of Alaska steamship
line, he said:
"While the report of the . Transportation
Committee covers the ground, it seems prop
er that I Bhould recognize the effort put
forth by this, and our Special Alaska Com
mittee, to get an Alaska Steamship line
established. There Is no one tMlng I so
much desired to see accomplished during
this administration as to have our city con
nected with the Alaska Peninsular by a line
of steamers by means of which only can we
expect to get our fair proportion of the vast
and growing trad of this sect Ion. But
though this deal re has failed of realization
It Is a salsfactlon to be able to say that my
disappointment Is tempered by the Justified
hope that we shall shortly have m, fleet of
nrit-claa iteamer plying between Portland
and tributary Alaska porta.
Secretary Giltner, in his report on the
finances of the Chamber, showed that
d u rin g th e past yea r S30. 661. 23 was ex
pended, and that there Is & balance of
51233.13 on hand. Report were submit
ted by the transportation, navlsration,

Chamber as carried on In the various de
partments. Bay City Banks Prosper.
