E
Mayor Asks That Dilatory Cor
porations Be Forced to
File Reports.
LETTER TO CITY ATTORNEY
Out of 2 2 Corporations, but six Have
Complied With Law Franchise
of People's Market Association
Recommended Revoked.
Mayor Lane has again daubed on the
war paint, and this time he is after
the public service corporations that
bave not complied with the charter by
submitting quarterly statements of
their receipts, disbursements and finan
cial standing. He has mailed a letter
to City Attorney McNary requesting
that K the law has been ignored steps
be taken to enforce it.
When Mayor Lane went into office
the provision of the charter requiring
statements from public service cor
porations was considered a "dead let
ter" law. He had been in office but a
short time when he directed a letter
to City Auditor -Devlin calling atten
tion to the charter and requesting that
an attempt be made to enforce it.
Auditor Devlin notified 22 corporations,
and out of these but six filed their
reports.
The corporations that submitted re
ports are: Portland Railway Com
pany, Pacific States Telephone & Tele
graph Company, People's Market As
sociation, City Messenger & Delivery
Company, United Railways Company
and the- Willamette Valley Traction
Company.
These Did Not Comply.
The companies that received notices
and which have failed to file state
ments are: Portland Gas Company,
Postal Telegraph Cable Company,
American District Telegraph Company,
Portland General Electric Company,
Bouthern Pacific Railway Company, Ore
gon Railway & Navigation Company.
Oregon Water Power & Railway Com
pany, Portland Hydraulic Company,
Northern Pacific Terminal Company,
Mount. Hood Electrlo Company, Home
Telephone Company, Western Union
Telegraph Company, Investment Com
pany, Cascade Power Company and the
Highland Park Water Company.
Mayor Lane is determined to bring
Yne matter to a head to learn exactly
fc-hat can be done with the corporations
that fall to comply with the charter,
tf necessary he is in favor of revoking
ihelr franchises, but in doing that the
Council would have Jurisdiction. City
Attorney McNary, when seen last night,
did not care to discuss the matter un
til he should have more time in which
to consider it. He will then advise the
Mayor.
Many of the corporations that ob
tained franchises before the last city
charter was adopted declare that they
are not amenable to that provision of
the charter requiring statements, and
therefore refuse to file reports. This is
L legal question. The corporations are
reluctant to submit statements, as they
do not want their earnings and finan
cial condition brought before the public
gaze.
The letter from Mayor Lane to City
Attorney McNary says in part:
Vluit the Mayor Says.
"I submit herewith a list of corpora
tions operating in this city, some if not
all of whicn, .1 am Informed, are re
quired by the city etiarter to file re
ports concerning their business with
the Auditor ascertain stated Intervals,
but have so far failed to do so.
"I -.vould respectfully ask that if
there hus been a failure upon the part
of any or all of these corporations to
conform with the provisions of the
pity charter w'nich govern the same,
that steps be taken by your depart
ment to enforce the same."
The Judiciary committee yesterday
recommended to the Council that the
franchise of the People's Market As
sociation be revoked, as it is asserted
that the franchise has been made sub
ject to revocation because of violation.
The association was granted a fran
chise to conduct a public market on
the block embraced by Second, Third,
Clay and Market streets. Instead, how
ever, it is said portions of the block
have been leased out for business pur
poses. The association went to considerable
expense in improving the property,
buildings having been erected, but it
is not believed that the city will be
liable for any of the Improvements.
More than a year ago Mayor Lane sent
a communication to the Council calling
attention to the violation of the terms
of the franchise, and the letter was
sent to the judiciary committee. Now
that the two new Councilmen, Baker
and Boothe, are members of the ju
diciary committee it is cleaning up
measures and recommendations that
have been slumbering for many months.

THINKS SERVICE IS GOOD
Manager of Klamath Road Telia of
Difficulties of Operation.
THRALL. Cal.. April 10. (To the Editor.)
In The OreRor.lan of April 8, in a apecial from
Klamath Falls, the Klamath Lake Railroad
Company is roundly roasted and accused of
doing a It pleased, regardleiw of th wtnha
of the people of Klamath Falls. The article
says that the said company doea not deem the
passenger, mail and freight service from the
north of sufficient importance to run more
than three time a week. etc.. etc.
This article, from beginning to end. is un
true. I did install a trt-weekly service as
nearly as I could, but did not even succeeed
in doing that, it being Impossible to ,operate
the road without endangering the lives and
limbs of our passerijrera.
This road Is 24 miles long and attains an
elevation of about 1700 feet and for some 16
miles is built along a stream and under pre
cipitous bluffs. Every severe storm Is liable
to cover the track with mud aud boulders.
With 12 Inches of snow at one end and rain
ing torrents at the other, the streams are
nearly all bank full, endangering bridges, cul
verts and trestles.
With 20 men, a locomotive, wire rope and
snatch blocks, it takes us eight hours to get
the driftwood off a threstle right at our ter
minal here at Thrall. We succeeded In sav
ing our bridge, which had every 'Indication of
going out, in which case It would have hung
up the road for at least a week in spite of
everything we could have done.
In this article mention is made of "freight
from the north." There was not a pound of
freight from north of Roseburg for something
like a week. We were between two wash
outs, one on the Southern Pacific near Rose
burg and the other below Dunsmulr .on the
same line. There was just about 10 days
that transportation by railroad was substan
tially at a standstill between Redding and
Roseburg on the Southern Pacific, including
all the branch railroads between. Incidental
ly the Southern Pacific Is entitled to great
credit for 'raising the blockade as quickly as
It did. With every man they could get, they
built over 1500 feet of new trestle work and
In the neighborhood of two or three miles of
new roadbed, built a highway over the moun
tain and transferred their passengers and
finally the mail and express, and were onli
nine days doing It. They unloaded 111 sacks
of mall and about a ton of express, with 40
passengers, here at Thrall, all ot of which
was landed In Klamath Falls within less than
80 hours ot its arrival, 24 miles by rail, 24
miles over an almost impassable highway and
IB miles by boat.
Now, forsooth, we are accused of "arbi
trary action" and singled out for abuse and
false statements because we did not do Im
possibilities. As a matter ot fact, within the last year
prior to our recent troubles we failed to 'get
one train over the road from Pokegama to
Thrall, and in this last we ran five trains
over the road in six days and this railroad
has been built and operated about five years
and has never yet in the slightest degree
injured an employe or a passenger. Who has
a better record?
Finally, I have no fault to find with any
statement of fact or legitimate newspaper
criticisms, but I do object to the misstate
ments of a correspondent who seems to have
about the same respect for truth and fairness
as a "torn cat has for a marriage license."

J. H. Peterson, of Portland, Is
Negotiating for Vessel.
WRECK AT HUMBOLDT BAY
Man Who Attained Steamship Fame
by Raising the George W. Elder
Says Corona Can Be Res
cued From the Beach.
John H. Peterson, known - as "Lucky
Jack," is at present in San Francisco
negotiating with trie underwriters and the
Pacific Coast Steamship Company for
the purchase of the wreck of the steamer
Corona, which went ashore at the en
trance to Humboldt Bay March 1. She
landed on the north jetty and was aban
doned by the crew. Surveyors declared
her a total wreck.
Mr. Peterson left Portland on the
Roanoke a week ago and while at Eureka
made known the object of his visit. The
matter was immediately taken up by the
people of that place' and Peterson was
shown every attention by the business
men of the city. He was taken to the
scene of the wreck and after a care
ful survey made the announcement that
he could raise the vessel and would pro
ceed to San Francisco and endeavor to
buy the wreck. He left the Humboldt
Bay city with that end in view and Is at
present in San Francisco.
John H. Peterson first appeared in the
steamship world when he purchased the
wreck ot, the Geo. W. Elder as she lay
on the rocks at Goble, Or. The steamer,

and Pilot Willis Snow, sailed from Port-

French Bark Will Bring Cement
Cargo to Portland Firm.
The French bark Europe, now discharg
ing at Hamburg, and previously reported
as having been taken by Balfour, Guthrie
& Co. to load cement for the Columbia
River, is chartered to W. P. Fuller &
Co., and will bring cement to that firm
from the German port.
The Europe arrived out at Antwerp
April 8 from the Columbia River. On
that day a cable was received by the
local agents of Balfour, Guthrie & Co.
that the ship had been chartered by that
firm for return loading. There was an
error in the cable and the vessel was
placed on berth for W. P. Fuller. She
will begin loading in several days and
will sail again for this port 4y the first
of the month.
The Europe is a first-class ship and
made her first appearance in the local
harbor in command of Captain Muller.
She was on her maiden voyage and made
the trip from Cherbourg to the Columbia
in ballast. She was one of the heaviest
bounty winners flying the French flag.

HONEST MEDICINE
TRY DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS
FOR STOMACH TROUBLE.
Convincing Evidence Supported by'e
Guarantee That Must Convince
The Most Skeptical.
Dr. 'Williams' Pink Pills are a doctor's;
prescription, used by an eminent prac
titioner, and for nearly a generation:
biown as a reliable household remedy
throughout the United States. Need
less to say, no advertised medicine could
retain popular favor for so long a period
-without having great merit and it is the
invaluable curative properties of the pills
that have made them a standard remedy
in every civilized country in the world.
'Added to this is the absolute guarantee
that the pills contain no harmful dragj
opiate, narcotic or stimulant. A recent;
evidence of their efficacv is found in the
letatement of Mrs. N. "B. Whitley, of,
iBoxley, Ark., who says:
i 'I had suffered for a good many year
from stomach trouble. For a long time
II was subject to bad spells of f aintness
land lack of breath accompanied by an
Indescribable feeling that seemed to
letart in my stomach. "Whenever I was1
little run-down or over-tired, these
spells would come on. They occurred'
frequently but did not last very long. ,
I "I was confined to my bed for tea
Weeks one time and the doctor pro
Inonnced my trouble chronic inflamma-!
j ition of the stomach and bowels. Since
I that time I have been subject to the
xamnng speiis ana at otner times' to Hut J
tering of the heart and a feeling a
'though I was smothering. My general
Jhealth was very bad and I was weak and'
trembling.
"I had seen Dr. Williams Pink Pi 11a'
mentioned in the newspapers and de
cided to try them. When I began taking
the pills I was so run-down in strength
that I could hardly do any houseworks
Now I could walk ten miles if necessary.
'Both my husband and myself think Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills the best medicine
made and we always recommend the
pills to our friends."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills actually make
new blood and give strength and tone to
every part of the body. They have
Icured serious disorders of the blood and
nerves, such as rheumatism, sciatica,
anaemia, nervousness, headaches, partial
paralysis, locomotor ataxia, St. Vitus'
dance and many forms of weakness in
either sex. They are sold by all drug
gists or will be sent, postpaid, on receipt
