Opponents of Act Aimed to Correct
Abuses of Pilotage and Tow-"

Its Constitutionality..
ASTORIA. Or.. March 2. (Special Cor
aifispondence.) Clatsop County will not
bend its neck to the Port of Columbia
ok with Multnomah, and Columbia
rounties. If Astoria citizens can argue
the courts into severing the bond as en
acted by the Oregon Legislature last
month, to become operative two. months
3ience. that being the JKKday interval after
adjournment of the Legislature, as re
quired by the constitution.
The Legislative act transfers control of
pilotage on the Columbia River bar to a
row commission of five members, three
of them to be Multnomah residents, and
ndds the new authority of controlling bar
towage. The present Pilot Commission
liaw three members, two of them, f J.
Taylor and A. V. Pendleton, being Clat
pop residents, as required by law, the
other being Sylvester Farrell, of Port
land. Pendleton- has been living In Port,
iand a considerable time, but is actually.
i citizen of Astoria. i
The Legislative act therefore takes con
trol of bar pilotage from Astoria and
Jrives It to Portland. Not only that, but
4t glvos Portland control over bar towage
authority not now held by Astoria.
In fine, the act confers on Portland
jxwers and privileges which Astoria does
:iot winh that city to possess. Astoria
tffars Portland may -build on the law a
machine or- organization hurtful to the
commercial growth of Astoria and seek
ing ultimately to exact tax tribute from
;Astoria for maintaining Portland's river
'channel above Astoria thia by means of
U'ortlands overwhelming voto power In
elections and Legislature.
Astoria's Dreams of Greatness.
;' Deep-rooted in the ' hearts of Astoria
citizens Is hope of grand future progress
Sor their city and of rivalry with Port
Sand for commercial supremacy, and even
Twhaps of triumph over Portland, be
cause of nearer proximity to ocean. T'n
tfej the circumstances, it-in easy to un
derstand the Astoria spirit. That spirit
tmay misconceive commercial forces and
Portland's aims. . but It springs true from
Royalty to fireside and city.
Portland's argument for the act that
Vt)tage and towage need the remedy
tnd remedy nmst be provided, else the
Columbia River port will lose In the race
ffr supremacy against Puget Sound; that
Portland aims not to tax. Astoria with
river channel costs and that, Clatsop
County is included in the taxing district
only so as to give the Port of Colum
bia necessary jurisdiction in Clatsop
iione of this finds lodgment in Astoria
ears.
Astoria would even dispense with any
Oregon law for pilots rather than let the
new act operate; for annulment of that
net would leave no law, since the sec
tions repealing the present laws would
'hold.
Armed with two l"Ken amendments to
the constitution as enacted by the people
of the state last June, and with a de
cree of the State Supreme Court of 1891,
Astoria is training for a tight. The
amendments confer home-rule .powers on
municipalities; one denies to the Legis
lature authority to create corporations by
special laws, the Port of Columbia act
Wing a special law. or to enact, amend
or repeal any charter or act of incorpo
ration for any municipality, city or town
(article section 2): the other amend
ment confines that authority "to the eo
ple. ... as to all local, special and
municipal legislation, of every character,
in or for their respective municipalities
and districts' (article 4. section la).
Supreme Court Precedent.
The Supreme Court decree is contained
In the decision of 1(1. declaring the Port
of Portland created for t municipal pur
poses, rid the legislative act creating the
district valid.
Astorians aver that the Port of Colum
bia district is a municipality like the Port
of Portland district; that the constitution,
as amended in June. lHi, forbids the leg
islature to create a municipality; that the
only nulhorities who can create the port
iHfctrict of Clatsop. Columbia and Multno
mah are the electors of those counties;
slid that the legislative act creating that
,ii.trict Is therefore void.
To this argument Astorians add that
the legislative act violates the old pro
visions of the constitution, which declare
'all taxation s-hall he equal and uniform"
jartkie 1. section 32): and that the Leg
islature ''shall not pass local laws . .
'for the assessment and collection of taxes
!for state, county, township or road pur
iposes" (article 4, iaectlon 23. subdivision 0
I t his on the ground that the bar service
fcf the Fort of Columbia would servo not
falone the three counties taxed, but the
: whole slate as well, and that therefore
fnot they should pay the taxes alone, but
till Oregon.
Astoria's lawyers are weighing the con
stitution and the act. The County Court
has appointed as committee to investigate
the authorities. F. J. Taylor, leader of
Hie Astoria lobby against the bill in the
'Capitol last month and Pilot Commission
er under the old law; G. C. Kulton,
brother of United States Senator Fulton.
.nd J. F. Hamilton. The committee
members say they have not yet put their
iiheads together and are not resolved what
i procedure to advise. The leading mem
ber on the committee Is J uuge Taylor.
Former Factions Arc Cnltrd.
Never has Astoria so united Its warring
political factions as to oppose the legis
lative act. Such is the assertion of Mayor
.Herman Wise. Says he:
"The bill for the act was drafted in
secret in Portland and hidden from us
of Astoria, even after introduced. Copies
of the printed bill were snatched up and
put away and we could not find them. The
State Printer sought copies for us. but
they had been put away after leaving
his prss. ,
"We Astorians were not consulted
about the hill be fore it w as f n t roduced.
"We did not know that it was to be in
troduced. We were hardly consulted after
it was presented. True, the Multnomah
legislators held a conference and in
vited us to attend, but it was perfunctory
and our suggestions were all rejected.
"We do not consider that a square deal.
"We had only three votes to cast
gainst Multnomah's 19; therefore, we
were overcome by force of numbers.
Would Include Whole State.
1'ortland made no effort to reach an
understanding with us. If such effort had
been mad A. we would have responded
readily. The taxing district should have
included the whole state. The Commission
euouid have represented the whole state.
Authority should have beeu conferred ou
a State Commission to remedy existing
defects in the pilotage.
"We object to being yoked with Mult
nomah because we cannot perceive .what
is in store for us. Multnomah's great
political power can impose any further
legislation it desires, by means of the
initiative. That means higher taxes for
Clatsop County and we know not what
else."
And what of the pilots?
Uneasy, of course they are, over pros
pective change of masters. They want
their Astoria masters kept. Portland
men are bad medicine to them. The
critics and kickers live in Portland.
From that city have come frequent calls
for the scalps of the pilots, for alleged
dereliction of duty. Thence also have
come demands for more pilots, so as to
put new blood into the pilot ranks. The
Portland kickers declare the pilots are
lazy or lack nerve and like to be ashore
when they should be at the bar.
Ail this rasps the pilots. They don't
like Portland. But they do like Astoria.
This city pets them and says they are
doing the very best they can. It says
the bar Is at fault, not the pilots. The
pilots don't like to quit the protecting
wing. They dread the sharp spurs of
PortJand shippers. Perhaps they dread
not worse the blow of the sou'wester.
rilots Earnings Kcduced.
In answer to Portland's plaint, three
more pilots were recently commissioned,
making 12 in all, three of them for . the
State of Washington. That reduces tiie
earnings of the nine old pilots, since the
fees must now be divided with three
more. The "old boys' don't like that,
either. They think there is not enough
shipping. And they would be right glad
to see Astoria knock out the new act.
There would then be no law on the Ore
gon side for regulation of pilots and a
go-as-you-please would follow for them.
The common objection to the new act
is that it confers powers too numerous
and too sweeping on the new commission.
Another is that vacancies in the commis
sion are to be filled by the commission
called a non-American and a non-democratic
system.
The court fight over legality wilL center
in the question whether the new port dis
trict is a municipality of the kind barred
from creation by the Legislature. Port
land will set up that the district is not
that kind. It will argue that the con
stitutional amendments intend municipal
ity to mean town or city and not county
or area like that of the Port of Columbia.
Astoria may contend that the Legisla
ture has no authority to create new
counties. Its argument is quite formidable.
Change of Constitution.
Until . last June the constitution of
Oregon provided: "Corporations mey be
formed under general laws, but should
not be created by special laws, except
for municipal purposes." (Art XI,
Sec. 2.) The last four words were the
only ones in the constitution giving
the power to create counties, towns
and municipalities to the Legislature.
Those four words were repealed by
constitutional amendment in June,
1906. The amendment further provid
ed, as already cited: "The .Legisla
tive Assembly shall' not enact, amend
or repeal any charter or act of incor
poration for any municipality, city or
town. The legal voters of every city
and town are hereby granted power to
enact and amend their municipal char
ter, subject to the constitution and
criminal laws of the State of Oregon."
But now that the one provision in
the constitution, authorizing passage
of special acts by the Legislature for
municipal purposes has been repealed,
and, as Astorians aver, a specific in
hibition has been placed against the
Legislature's passing special acts for
any municipality, the question raised
is a very important one and ought to
be settled before the Port of Columbia
shall endeavor to sell its $400,000 bonds
authorized by the act for the purchase
of pilot-boats and tugs.
Jecision on Port of Portlarnd.
The decision as to the legality of
the act creating the Port of Portland
was rendered July 8, 1891, having; been
enacted in the preceding February. A
test suit was brought to determine the
validity, as a necessary preliminary to
sale, of a large quantity of bonds. The
question turned, as the court pointed
out, on the meaning of "municipal pur
pose's." The court declared the Port
of Portland created for municipal pur
poses in an opinion written by Judge
Bean and concurred in -by Judge V.
P. Lord, but dissented from by- Chief
J ustice R. S. Strahan. In part, the
decision was as follows:
A city or purely municipal corporation is.
perhaps, the highest type of corporation cre
ated for municipal purposes, because it is
a miniature government, having legislative,
executive and judicial powers; but there is
another class of corporation, such as coun
ties, school districts, road "districts, etc.,
which though varj-ing in application and pe
culiar features, are but so many agencies or
instrumentalities of the state to promote
the convenience, of the public at larce, and
are. in the broadest use of the term, for
municipal purposes. It would be a narrow
and unwarranted construction of language
to say that municipal purposes means only
city, town or village purposes. The consti
tution of this state evidently contemplates
the creation of counties under the direct
supervision of and by' a special act of the
Legtelature: yet no direct power is given
to create them, and the section under con
sideration contains a direct prohibition
against doing so, unless the word municipal
covers this class of corporations.

Roy Flfirld, Child of Remarkable
Physical Development and
Stunted Mentally, Seat to
Asylum.
ROY FIFTELD, 5 years old, and one of
the most remarkable human mon
strosities on record, was taken before the
County Court yesterday and adjudged in
sane, after a close medical examination.
To the layman the case is infinitely pa
thetic and to the medical man it is one
of unusual interest.
At the age when the normal child is
leaving short dresses Roy has grown to
the physical proportions of a youth of IS,
while his mind has failed utterly in its
growth. With a head that requires a hat
too large for the average man, the child
has nothing but confusion and idiocy in
the interior and is devoid of intelligence.
Notwithstanding the absence .of men
tality he has shown a tendency to forms
of degeneracy. lr. Josephi. who con
ducted the mental examination, pro
nounced the case one of the most re
markable that had ever been brought to
his attention. The hapless freak was
taken in custody by the authorities at the
Instance of his father. Following the ex
amination the boy was sent to the State
Insane Asylum.

POLICEMAN GOLTZ HAS NARROW
ESCAPE FROM EXPLODING STOVE
Municipal Court Heater Blows Up With Loud Noise A. Sharp Acci
dentally Gets Into Trouble.
IN THE midst of the grind in the Mu
nicipal Court yesterday morning, the
huge stove that is supposed to heat
the room exploded with a loud report and
a roar that startled every one. Accumu
lated gas and smoke blew open the door
and caused the heater to tremble and
sway as if it were about to tumble down
and set fire to the building.
Great excitement prevailed, but per
haps the one person above all others to
take front rank with the frightened ones,
was Patrolman John . Goltz. He had
been standing leisurly in front of the
stove, which had steadfastly refused to
burn. Golts was engaged in a desperate
effort to warm iiis back when the explo
sion came with its deafening report.
Goltz leaped into the air. shrieking 4n
fright. For a moment his form was lost
in the dense miV that issued from the
stove, but when hemerged it was seen
that he was still ae, and in fact, not

soon resumed and the incident passed into
history-
:
A SHARP is out of harmony with the
the world. , He can't see things as
some do. His one great loe is work. He
positively refuses to work. It was be
cause of this that lie was arrested and
brought before Judge Cameron.
When arraigned before Judge Cameron
yesterday morning. ' A, Sharp was very
restless. He was ill at ease, for it was
some work to tell his story, ajid he dis
liked it.
Judge Cameron was inclined to lecture
Sharp for his unnatural aversion toward
work.
"Why' can't you B natural, A. Sharp?"
asked Judge Cameron. "Undoubtedly you
take a full measure at every bar. but I
would advise you to change your tune
and seek work."
The -aj?e was continued until March

the chars e ut vagrancy.
Public Meeting at Courthouse c
vclops Strong Opposition to Lay
ing Track for Electric Cars
on Section Line Highway.
Strong opposition to the granting of a
franchise to the Mount Hood Electric
Railway Company, whereby that cor
poration would be permitted to use about
seven miles of the Section Iine road, was
developed before the County Court yes
terday afternoon. A public meeting was
held at the Court House for the purpose
of canvassing the situation, and instead
of the conventional handful of interested :
persons, the county courtroom was packed
o Its capacity.
Much was said pro and con on the
proposition, but no decision was reached.
There are many things to be decided be
fore the terms of franchise can be agreed
upon, If any franchise is to be allowed at
all. Next Wednesday forenoon at, 10
o'clock County Judge Webster will an
nounce, on behalf of himself and Com
missioners Llghtncr and Barnes, whether
any franchise is desirable. In event it
is decided to give a franchise, the ques
tion of proper conditions will arise. This
question will be considered at a second
public meeting to be called.
To the electric line itself there seemed
to be no objection. In fact it is pretty
generally afjreed that the benefits of
transportation facilities between Portland
and the base or summit of Mount Hood
are obvious. But as to the use of the
Section ljne road as part of the right-of-way,
that is where the hitch comes in.
While all were invited to participate in
the discussion of the matter, compara
tively few took advantage of the oppor
tunity for public expression. A. F. Fle
gel. attorney, represented a number of
landowners and residents who use the
Section Ljne road and in behalf of these
clients Mr. Flegel made a statement
wherein he opposed the plan as a mat
ter of general policy on the county's part.
Of a road bO feet wide he did not think
it advisable to surrender 14 feet to a
private corporation.
President Perkins, of the Mt. Tabor
Improvement Association, made similar
objections. Representing the association,
he said he was not opposed to the line
Itself but thought the promoters should
purchase a right-of-way, rather than beg
one from the county.
Waldcmar Seton, on behalf of the rail
way promoters, outlined the advantages
of the road. He showed that 20 feet of
the road is now graveled and that this
part alone is used by teams., leaving the
remainder unused. By giving the com
pany use 'of the road, provision might be
made lor the free hauling of materials
for extensive and inexpensive improve
ments in the road.
Robert A. Miller spoke in favor of the
road, saying it would be a great factor
in the development of the county and
should be encouraged in every way pos
sible. Dr. Mead, whose home Is on the
road, also spoke in favor of giving the
use st the thoroughfare to the company
as requested. , ( '
Decision was reserved until next
Wednesday that amplo time may be had
to canvass the situation. It is said that
the company will have to bargain lib
erally for the franchise and make it an
object to the county to give the fran
chise, if the franchise is favored at all by
the court and commissioners.
so far as -nine of the county prisoners at
the Kelley Butte rockptle are concerned.
With the recent strike settled and the
chain-gang back at work pounding rock,
nine of the laziest announced their inten
tion of holding out yesterday. They de
clined to go to work with the others.
When, the entire crew struck, their
rations were cut off and they were com
pelled to sleep in their quarters without
beds. But there is room in the dungeons
for these nine and into the dungeons they
went yesterday. They will remain there
with no light and only enough bread and
water to keep them alive until they are
willing again to take up the manufacture
of little rocks from larges ones.
SEVEN" DIVOHCES ARK GRANTED
Galling Tics Are Severed in Hie State
Circuit Court.
In consequence of a mining trip into the
Klondike country seven years ago, a. u.
Guthrie, of Portland, was divorced from
his wife. Lulu Guthrie, yesterday. In
his statement of the case in the State
Circuit Court, Guthrie said he went to
the frozen North in the 3pring of 1900 and
returned in the Fall to find that his wife
had left home after disposing of their
few belongings. Through the years that
have followed he has been unable to learn
why she left him, he said. He was given
a divorce decree.

Fowler said that Albert Fowler was
brutal and spent all his money for drink.
She has stood 18 years of this conduct
but could stand it no longer, she said.
Whereupon she was relieved of the ne
cessity of speaking to Fowler next time
she sees him.
Asa C Hess Is not to be depended
upon; being far too fond of gambling and
depravity fbr the welfare ot his family,
according to Mrs. Hess. She was tired of
being kept on short rations and was given
a divorce.
Blanche Bacon had an even greater
grievance agaist Walter Bacon. He is a
mechanic with - an innate aversion to
earning an honest livelihood, according
to her story, and insisted that she become
a professional flirt and thus earn enough
to support them both. She was promptly
given a divorce.
Frances J. Harris married George O.
Harris in Portland two years ago. A
year later she was deserted. Yesterday
she was divorced.
M. Bowman was deserted recently by
Eliza Bowman, to whom he was married
here in 1895. He got a divorce.
The marriage of Minnie A. Bradley and
Darwin Bradley was pet aside on -the
grounds that Mrs.. Bradley married with

LER, of the Portland Police Depart

After several minutes. - which seemed

to loosen the side of the cage so that he
could make an aperture large enough to

Keller has a record for being an excel

the art of "knocking down" elevators is
extremely limited.. After soiling his
