Small Blaze on Couch Street
Little Damage.
Does
Fire in the residence of Mrs. J. Rob
erts, 349 Couch street, drew a bis; crowd
last night about 9 o'clock. The blaze did
not result in any extensive damage, but
the flames shot high in the air for a
few minv.tes and from the intersections of
streets on Washington it looked like a
serious fire.
When the alarm was turned in Wash
ington street was crowded, but the peo
ple followed the fire apparatus, and no
While the leaders of the Industrial
Workers of the World will not admit it,
the death knell of the lumber mill strike
in Portland will be sounded this morning
when the wheels of industry in the Port
land lumber mills will again be started.
The announcement yesterday morning
that the lumber mills of the city would
resume operations today was the occa
sion for general rejoicing among the resi
dents of Portland. The enforced shutdown
of the lumber mills of this city, because
of the lockout, has been generally con
sidered unfortunate for the city and" the
industrial welfare of the community. The
Information that former prosperous con
ditions will be restored Is naturally good
news to Portland people.
"We will he able to start our mills
Monday mornina- with comparatively a
full force of men.' snld a millowner last
nipht, "notwithstanding reports to the
contrary by the Industrial Workers ot
the World, with which a few of our for
mer employes are associated. A great
many of the men that left our service,
largely from Intimidation, have applied
for their former positions, and when we
resume operations In the -morning, they
will be found at their old places. It is
true that some of our former employes
will not report for work in the morning,
hut we will be able to equip our plants
with other applicants that have sought
employment In our mills. Satisfied that
they gain nothing by remaining out long
er, a majority of our old employes have
applied for their former positions and will
resume their work. A three weeks' un
expected vacation has effectually cured
them of the strike habit and they are
ready to return."
Will Not Admit Defeat.

uation," said Fred W. Haselwood. mem

the claims of the millowners. who have
been unable not only to Induce their for
nier emploes to return to work, but also
to get other men to take the places of
their dissatisfied workmen. We are not
at all alarmed with the existing comii
tion of affairs and will certainly not con
cede that the strike has been lost."
When the mills resume operations this
morning. It is true that many of the em
ployes will be new men. Some of the for
mer employes of the milts have applied
for their former positions and have been
assured their services will be accepted.
Hut the greater part of the forces at the
mills will be from new arrivals "in the
city who have FHKerly sought employment
in'these plants since the lockout was de
clared three weeks ago. That the mills
will start again this morning is without
question. H Is not an idle claim on the
part of the millowners. A sufficient num
ber of men have apptled for work to make
it certain that every lumber mill plant
In the city will be fully supplied with
workmen. '
Men Anxious to Work.
It is learned that of the men that quit
their positions in the lumber mills, prob
ably "00 have obtained other employment,
largely with niilroad construction forces.
Other than this .number the 2500 men that
were thrown out of employment on ac
count of the strike have been without
work and are more than anxious for an
opportunity to again gain employment.
Disorderly conduct." said Organizer
yarrow In discussing the strtee situation.
"Is a condition that we will not tolerate
on tho part of any man that is connected
with the Industrial Workers of the
AVorid. He must be a gentleman at all
times and when he fails to keep order,
the nut lioritles are no more prompt than
the officers of the Industrial Workers
of the World in informing t lie enthusiast
that he is transgressing the rights of
the public."
It is perhaps due to Ibis discipline that
only two arrests have been made among
v the strikers since the trouble began. The
seeond arrest took place Saturday even
ing when James Kelly was arrested for
distributing Mils without a license. Kelly
was scattering bills on Second and Burn
side street advertising a mass meeting of
tho strikers to be held Sunday afternoon.
He was. taken to the police station, and
mer a charge had been booked against
him, was released on his own recogni
zance to appear in the Municipal Court
this morning.
The striking millhands held a meeting
at Arion Hall yesterday afternoon, ad
dresses being made by B. H. Williams.

Tho uccompanylng sketch of tne steamship Dakota, which went ashore at
the entrance to the Bay-of Tokio on- the morning of March S, was made
from the deck of the steamship Minnesota on the afternoon of the following
day by H. C. Flint, who was a passenger on the latter vessel. The' Minnesota
arrived in Seattle March 17. The Dakota then stood with her stern ten feet
out of the water. Since then she has gone to pieces. According to Mr. Flint
the Dakota made land at ten miles off shore. She altered her course and It
was the intention of the captain to make the second point about six miles off
shore? There was a strong inset and when the second observation was made
the vessel was too far Inshore to escape the rocks.
lese than 10.000 persons watched the fire
men extinguish the flames.
It is believed that the fire started from
a defective flue, as there had been a fire
in the kitchen stove. Mrs. Roberts was
absent, hut one of the neighbors saw the
flames burst out of the roof and imme
dlatelv turned in an alarm. Only the
root aa burned, while the furniture was
ruined by water. The damage will not
amount to more than J1000. which, it is
understood, is covered by insurance. The
property belongs to John Vestal.
MANAGER TALBOT HOME
Will Xol Discuss Sale of Corvallls &
Knslcrn Railroad.
Guy W. Talbot, general manager of the
Hammond lines in this state, which have
recently passed to the Hill and Harrlman
interests, returned yesterday from New.
York, where he spent several days In con
ference with the former owners of the
Astoria & Columbia River Railroad and
the Corvallls & Kastern. The former has
been purchased by the Hill interests and
the latter by Harrlman. Mr. Talbot says
he is not in a position to discuss the re
ported purchase of the latter road at this
time.
A conference between Mr. Talbot and
C. M.- Ievy. vice-president of the North
ern Pacific, will be held soon, at which
the formal transfer of the property to
the Hill system will be arranged. Until
he confers with Mr. Levy. Mr. Talbot
says he does not know what changes in
the official list of the road will be made.
Mr. Talbot stopped in San Francisco on
his way to New York and saw A. B.
Hammond, president of the two Oregon
roads. Mr. Talbot is not ready to give
out any details regarding this interview.

The O. W. P. is preparing to build a
new bridge across Johnson Creek at Mil

the ground ready to begin work.
HOPES TO RENEW TRADE
Honolulu Merchant F.ager for
Steamer Idne lo Portland.
Fred I.. Waldron. a commission mer
chant of Honolulu, who is now In Port
land, says that he hopes to see a steamer
line between Portland and the Hawaiian
Island successfully established and Is do
ing what he can toward this end.
"It Is my opinion that Captain William
Matson may be Induced to put the Hi
lonian back on this route." he said. "The
last time that vessel was here, she made
up a .cargo in ten days, so there Is a
good chance for trade between this city
and the l.Mands. in return for grain,
flour, hay and vegetables, we are send
ing out quantities of pineapples, rice and
coffee. While we receive 75 per cent
more for our pineapples . than do other
sections which produce the fruit, we can
not supply the demand."
In regard to his dealings with Portland
firms, he said that people 2000 miles away
doing their business by cable appreciate
good, fair dealing by substantial firms.
Syndicate Stores Falls.
A large part of the assets of the Pacific
Syndicate Stores Company, of Los An
geles, In which several Portland people
were interested, was sold last week to
the E. P. Charlton Company. The Pa
cific Syndicate Stores Company went into
bankruptcy. The price is such that it
will bring the creditors about 75 cents on
the dollar. The assets disposed of are

fixtures In the four stores of the syndi

chase of pilot-boats and tugboats for
the Columbia River bar.
That Astoria will fight the act. there
is no doubt. Citizens of Astoria emphati
cally declare that the people of that city
are resolved on this course, and the
unanimity of public sentiment on the
matter there is manifest.
Astoria will contend that the Port of
Columbia composed of Multnomah, Co
lumbia and Clatsop Counties Is a mu
nicipality; that the Supreme Court of
Oregon in 1891 declared the Port of Port
land district created for municipal pur
poses and then within the power of the
Legislature to establish; that the con
stitution was amended last year under
the initiative, to take away the power
from the Legislature and to declare spe
cifically that the Legislature shall not
create a municipality; and that the Leg
islature has no authority to create the
Port of Columbia.
The opposing argument in Portland is
that the fort of Columbia is not a mu
nicipality, of the kind that the Legisla
ture is forbidden to establish.
The question Is one of large Import
ance, not alone because control of pilot
age and towage Is Involved, but also be
cause the validity of the bonds depends
on the constitutionality of the act. Be
fore selling the bonds in July, as the
act requires, their validity should be es
tablished, in order that the Port district
should receive the highest possible price
for them.
The act will go into effect May 25, and
the live members of the Port Commission
are to bold their first meeting "at as
early a day after the going into effect
of tills act as practicable." It does not
seem possible that the question can be
taken into the courts until after that
time. The act says that the "bonds shall
be dated the first day of July. 107."
When the Port of Portland was created
16 years ago, the validity of the act
was tested at once and the act was sus
tained first by the Circuit Court of Mult
nomah and then by the Supreme Court,
in a friendly suit. The latter court ren
dered Its decision in July after the pass
age of the act in February.
In order to hasten the decision in the
case of the Port of Columbia, some au
thorities believe that the test should be
instituted in Multnomah County, since, if
Astorians should begin the suit, they
would not be eager to press it along, and
might even take it up in the Federal
Courts, and thus make long delay.

hall for the Sunday afternoon devotional
meeting.
The crowd was solicited but there was
no one who had any great faith in the re
sults, for the majority had given and given
again and none of the men present were
men of means. All were salaried men.
but the total secured was about $650. Prob
ably no sum given by any set of men In
the city represents more of a sacrifice than
the 5&0 given yesterday afternoon, and
given spontaneously at that, just to send
the campaign off well.
Before the appeal was made to the
meeting. Secretary Stone and another of
the executive committee guessed as to the
amount that would be given. Mr. Stone
made it $175 to show his faith, while the
other man guessed $10 less. It waa one of
the surprises that has happened all
through the campaign of late and which
the solicitors hope will continue.
At the same time the men In the big
hall were giving so freely, the chairmen
of the 21 soliciting committees were hold
ing a session in the little hall below. It
was an enthusiastic session, everybody
was sure the campaign was going to raise
the amount needed by the end of the
week and several thought they would
wind up their part of the contract by
Wednesday night.
From reports made at the meeting of
the committeemen It was evident that
there were hundreds of men In the down
town offices who had not slven and who
were ready to donate. These men had
promised to give when it was seen that
the campaign was going to be a success
and when their donations were needed to
assure the success of this campaign. The
committeemen are In a position to assure
these men that the time has come and
these tacit promises are being regarded as
one of the big elements of success, prob
ably $2s,000 being half pledged in this
manner already.
The chairmen were assigned their dis
trlcts in the business center, these dis
tiicts for the most part Including some
one square that is to be thoroughly gone
over before another block is tackled. The
chairmen without exception were present
and brought word that their committee
men were ready for work and would be on
hand this morning.
At 7:30 this morning" the 100 representa
tives of the business houses who are to
canvass the city this week will breakfast
together at the Oregon hotel 'and after an
hour and a hcJX of campaign talk will
start on their roundup of the city. At
noon the men will gather for lunch at the
Y. M. C. A. gymnasium and the chairmen
will report progress. Several out of town
Y. M. C. A. secretaries and general work
ers are on hand for the final campaign
week and men who have been through the
Seattle and Spokane campaigns say that
the situation here Is more encouraging
than at was In either of the cities when
the final campaigns were started.
