being lost. Before the discovery that
such a "joker" was in the free-water
measure It received considerable support.
The following letter from L. Zimmerman
was read :
At a meeting of the South Portland Im
provement Association to be held in the near
future, I shall openly oppose any measure or
resolution that shall be brought before said
aoclation referring to the initiative and ref
erendum to repeal the 2-mlll tax passed by the
Legislature of this state for the purpose 'of
improving fills and building bridges within
the corporate limits of the City of Portland.
You will recall that 1. with many others of
this city, was among the most earnest ad
vocates for the passage of th! bill act. and
now that good results from the same have so
greatly benefited the - South Portland district
by reason of the fills and bridges that have
been completed, I firmly believe and will
earnestly work to this end. that the citizens
of .South Portland are In duty bound to render
all assistance and support possible to see that
the people of the East tilde of the Willamette
River shall enjoy and receive their due and
juiit share of the benefits to be derived from
the 2-mlll tux.

In his sketch of the progress of the

Church, spoken of as the "mother" of
the Calvary Church, was the only
Presbyterian Church In Portland. On
Juno 23, 18S0. he said, at the request
of W. S. Ladd, a number of the mem
bers of the First Church organized the
boarda of trustees of the Calvary
Church and of the St. Johns Presbyte
rian Church, both of which were Incor
porated. A site was donated to the
church, he awtd. and after securing:
ItiOft.l the board invited bids, but as
these were felt to be too high the erec
tion of a church was postponed for a
time.
"In the meantime the Mission Sunday
school had been struggling along with
varying success In the old Academy build
ing." said the speaker, "and the majority
of the officers and teachers thought they
would have to give it up. But in 1SS1,
when new quarters were badly needed,
they determined to move into the Adven
tlst chapel at Thirteenth and Main streets.
This effort to build up the Sunday school
was successful."
Mr. Honeyman told of the organization
of the church and Its growth up to the
present time. He gave the following re.

In the death yesterday of James L.

plains with a train of ox teams, arriv
ing at Portland when there were only
a few houses here.
Abraham Hill, one of the best
known pioneers of the state, was Mr.

one of Portland's first Road Super
visors, and helped build the county
road that runs near the grounds of the

WORK FOR MORE WATER
JKast Side Improvement Association
Kavors Xew Pipeline.
At a brief session of the East Side Im
provement Association last night, W. L.
Boise presiding, charter ' amendments
were informally discussed. It was the
opinion of those present that the pro
vision for the second Bull Run pipe-line
was probably the most Important. Mr.
Boise declared it to be his conviction.
Judging from the rapid growth of Port
land, that unless this second pipe-line
Is laid within the next two or three
years Portland will experience an actual
water famine. He predicted that the
population of Portland would nearly
double Inside of ten years, and that at
that ratio of Increase the present water
supply would not be sufficient Inside of
two years.
It was decided to take active measures
after the primaries have been held to put
before the people the needs of the sec
ond Bull Hun pipe-line and the merits
of the proposition to issue J450.C0O of
bonds for rebuilding the Madison bridge.
As to the free-water bill, the opinion
was freely expressed that the discovery
or tne "joKer by which the I-mill tax
for tha building of bridges was to be
eliminated would result In that measure

It indicated that the show is destined to

was done by the equestrian division, com

THREE STATES MEET.
Boards of Oregon, W ashington and
Montana Take Steps to Form
Branch of National Body.
Initial steps towards organizing an asso
ciation of the Railroad Commissioners of
the Northwest States were taken at a
meeting of the States of Oregon, Washing
ton and Montana" held in this city last
night. An executive committee, consist
ing of John C. Lawrence, of Washington;
Clyde B. Altchison, of Oregon and Nathan
Godfrey, of Montana, was appointed to in
vite the Railroad Commissions of North
and South Dakota. Minnesota and Wis
consin to meet with the Commissions of
the States of Oregon, Washington and
Montana at Seattle in July, when it is
proposed to perfect the organization of
the Northwest division of the National
Association of Railway Commissioners.
Last night's meeting was attended by
members of the Railroad Commissions of
the three, states, as follows: John C.
Lawrence, Jesse S. Jones and O. O. Cal
tlerhead. secretary, of Washington; B. T,
Stanton, Nathan Godfrey and H. K. How
ry, secretary, of Montana; Thos. K.
Campbell, Clyde B. Altchison and George
O. Goods!, secretary, of Oregon.
"The object of forming such an associa
tion," said Mr. Altchison. -"is to sim
plify the work of these different boards.
The Commissions of the states that will
be asked to Join the association all have
about the same group of railroads to deal
with. By effecting such an organization
and keeping In touch with each other,
there could be brought about uniformity
of action on questions of railroad regula
tion. Again, the probability of arbitrary
distinction as between the different states
would be removed. Investigations could ba
assimilated and much of the work that
is now done in duplicate would be avoid
ed. Besides, through such an organiza
tion, any recommendations we might de
sire to make to the Interstate Commerce
Commission would' be received with
greater weight."
Messrs. Campbell, Aitchison and Goodall
returned yesterday from Olympia, where
they have been conferring with the mem
bers of the Washington Commission. Os
wald West, the other member of the Com
mission, has been subpenaed to Washing
ton as a witness in the land-fraud trials,
leaving the work of the Commission to
his two colleagues, who will hold a num
ber of hearings during the next 10 days.
The Commissiones have arranged for
an Informal conference in this city next
Saturday between the traveling men and
representatives of the traffic departments
of the railroads, when the subject of a
2-eent fare will be discussed. This meet
ing is preliminary to a public hearing on
the same question which will be held be
fore the Commission at Salem May 8.
Next Monday the Commission will meet
in this city to hear evidence in the case
of the Keystone Lumber Company against
the Sunset Logging Company. Discrim
ination in rates. Inadequate facilities and
unfair charges are the accusations made
by the Keystone management against the
Sunset Company, which operates, under a
lease, the Clatskanie & Nehalem Railroad.
The two companies are rivals In the log
