THTB MOK2VTNC OKEGOXIA5. WEDXESDAY, JULY 10, 1907. 11 Li MONOPOLY IS E Senator Fulton Uses Strong Language to Describe Rail road Greed. HEARS MANY COMPLAINTS uathers Information at First Hand on Trip Through Southern Oregon Writes Harriman -Company Pointed Letter. "Intolerable" and "outrageous" are fit words, in the opinion of Senator Fulton, to apply to the refusal of the Southern Pacific to sell Its railroad grant lands in Western Oregon. The senator was In Portland yesterday, after a visit In the southern part of the ' State, where his ear -was filled with numerous complaints from the citizens against the Southern Pacific and where "his eye beheld many evidences of the railroad bars against settlement. Desir Ing to know from the lips of a railroad official why things are thus and so. he betook himself to the office of the rail road's head attorney, W. D. Fenton. only . to find that gentleman ab.sent. But some tody informed the senator that the bars were up because nearly fifteen months ago a large part of the land records of ' the railroad were burnt up in San Fran cisco. As the bars were up more than two years prior to that time, this explanation '.did not strike the senator so forcefully as It might otherwise have done. Forth with, he resolved to write an inquiry to the land office of the railroad in San Francisco where applications for pur chase of land by would-be "actual set tlers" at $2.50 an acre, recently were thrown Into the waste basket. Not Alarmed at Prospect. "Suppose," the senator was asked, ' "your letter should go into the waste basket, too?" "We'll write it, anyway," he replied, "and see whether we get an answer." Today the letter will be posted from Astoria, whither Senator Fulton went last night. It will say that Senator Ful ton has been informed that the Southern Pacific has refused for about four years to sell any railroad grant land and will ask if this is true. It will ask how much . longer this policy is to be maintained. It will point out that the barring of the lands retards the progress of the coun try and has incurred the hostility of the . people. It will say that, if adhered to, this method will drive the people to any necessary expedient to overcome it. The 'letter will say further that sale of the lands at reasonable prices might have warded off the movement, now started, to force the railroad to sell at $2.50 an ' acre and even yet might lessen the pop ular hostility. "The. Government should pursue this matter vigorously," said Senator Fulton. "Evidently It plans to do this. The de partment has sent to Oregon a special United States Attorney, B. D. Townseiid. I shall assist him all the ways I can and hope he will be able to obtain from the courts the relief that the people po dearly need. i "It does not seem to me that there is anything for Congress to do in the mat ter. But I believe that much can be obtained from the courts. The Govern ment should begin several suits at once, think, so as to get at the Issue from leveral sides. Purposes of the Suits. " "Suits could be brought to restrain the railroad from selling the lands for more ' than $2.50 an acre; to compel sale at $2.50 an acre to actual settlers; to de clare forfeit to the United States the remaining unsold lands of the grant, and to compel the railroad to sell at reasona ble prices, if not at $2.50. "The Government, It seems to me. is the party best qualified to bring suit. There Is a doubt whether an Individual has an Interest in the land which the courts would recQgnize. The courts might t hold that non-performance of the terms , of the grants is a matter between the . grantor and the grantee. Such a deci sion has been rendered by a Federal t Court in- Oregon, in the case of a wagon road grant. But In that grant, it -is true, actual settlers were not declared by act of Congress, as the class of citi zens alone entitled to the lands, as was t done In the railroad grants. This specific declaration may be upheld by the courts as meaning that the railroad should be virtual trustee of the lands for actual settlers and that the lands must be sold to them. "The people should be cautioned, Dv.iuui0 " .T LUlwiuomuiD BUIH of money to wrest lands from the rail 0 road, under claims of actual settlers. The meaning of actual settler Is rather vague and is woven with fine-spun legal ' technicalities. The Government is really the proper authority to make the test." BUILDING IN BAD REPAIR ' West-Avenue Schoolhouse Is Allowed to Deteriorate. It is conceded that the bad condition of the West-avenue schoolhouse and ground is entirely due to the financial policy that was followed by the old Mount Tabor district before it was con solidated with No. 1. For more than five years before consolidation at all the school meetings all tax levies were held down to the lowest point, and no Im provements or permanent repairs were made because it was announced at the meetings that annexation to Portland would soon come and these items would be cared for. The school property was let run down. It was npt the fault of the directors, who generally asked for money enough to maintain the school property, but their requests for suf ficient levies were turned down. At the last annual meeting the direct ors asked for 6 mills, but a 24 mills levy was made when it was known that such levy would not produce enough money to pay the running expenses, and it did not. When the district came into the city It had $39 in the treasury and there were a lot of unpaid bills. All this ac counts for the disgraceful condition of the West-avenue school building, and this Is understood. The progressive men of the district who are members of the Mount Tabor Improvement Association feel keenly the situation and hesitate about asking the Board of Education to replace the pres ent structure with a modern building. They are the men who wanted to clean up floating debts and put the property in good shape before . asking for annexa tion, b .t they were defeated, but are now :alled on to deal with a situation which they tried to prevent. At the meeting of the Association Mon 4ay night It was hard to get a com mittee to take up the question of a hew schoolhouse, although members of the Association realize that something must mm oils be done. It is thought that a block can be purchased for a new site a short dis tance north of the Base Line road for $HC00. It is announced that a block of ground in Center Addition will be donated outright for a school site. HOLD FLOWER SHOW TODAY School Children of County Will Ex hibit Sweet Peas. The perfume of sweet peas will per vade the corridors of the City Hall build ing today when the second annual floral exhibit of the pupils of the Multnomah County public schools will he held on the third floor of that building. The exhibit will be in place and open to the Inspection of the public at 1 o'clock this afternoon and visitors will be welcome to visit the display until 9 o'clock tonight. No charge will be made visitors to the ex hibition, which is under the care of the Oregon State Congress .of Mothers and Multnomah County Teachers' Progress ive' Club. During" the last year the pupils In the county schools have been experimenting with the growing of sweet peas and the exhibit today will represent their ef forts. For the convenience of classify ing the exhibit the county has been divided into six divisions with three prizes of $2, $1, and 50 cents for each division. There are also offered three PORTLAND FREE county cash prizes as follows: First, $4; second. $3; and third, $2. The county has' been divided into the following divisions: First West Side, comprising all school districts in the county west of the Wil lamette River, Including that part of Dis trict No. 1 on this side of the river. Second East Side, comprising Districts 12, 40, 45 and 70 Jointly, and that part of No. 1 on the east side of the river.

The awards will be made at 1 o'clock this afternoon by the following commit tee of expert florists who will officiate as judges: Mr. Walker, of Forest Grove, and B. F. Padrick and Mrs. George Felts, of this city. The committee In charge of the. exhibit consists of Mesdames Trumbull. Clark, Donald, Smith and Colwell. THEIR TRIAL POSTPONED Absence of Attorney Gives Dis charged Detectives Further Time. The trial of ex-Detectives Joseph Day, Joseph Reslng, L. G. Carpenter and Frank J. Snow, charged with incompe tency and- refusal to obey orders, will not be held before the police committee of the Executive Board Saturday, the day set for the hearing. Ralph E. Moody, attorney for the suspended detectives, Is absent in the East and the trial will be deferred until his return. This is the same case that was before the police committee a few weeks ago when Attor ney Moody raised the technical objection that the trial should not be heard. by a subcommittee of ths Executive Board. The members of the committee did not contest the point and decided to drop the hearing. Mayor Lane immediately filed another complaint against the ex sleuths preferring the same charges of incompetency and disobedience of orders. These charges duly came before the Executive Board, which referred them to the police committee with instructions to proceed with a hearing. Mayor Lane and the members of the Executive Board will Insist on the trial before the police committee and will defend in the courts all attacks the discharged officers may make, on th9 legality of their proceed- ing- ' - POSITION IS ABOLISHED O. R. & X. Will Not Have Livestock Agent In Future. No appointment of a livestock agent for the O. R. & N. will be -made to fill the position made vacant by the promotion of C. J. Mlllis to be general manager of the Harriman Interests on Coos Bay. The title of livestock agent will be abolished. There is said to be less and less need for a livestock agent for the com pany, largely because of the lessening prominence of this industry, as the state lands are settled up and the ranges become constantly curtailed. However, railroad officials say the live stock, industry will receive just as much attention as ever from the com pany. During the pa6t two years, while livestock agent. Mr. Mlllis de voted the greater part of his time to work other than the livestock traffic. This branch of the traffic will here after be attended to by W. J. Leonard, formerly Asiatic clerk, who will be made livestock and grain clerk. .The work will be handled as formerly in the offices of R. B. Miller, general" freight agent for the Harriman lines in the Pacific Northwest. Rich red blood naturally results from taking Hood's Sarsaparllla.

NEW CAGE A LARGER ONE Pleasure Resort Will Be Ready for the Public Tomorrow Regula tions and Hours of Use by Those Enjoying Plunge. Cool free baths In the Willamette will open for heated Portland at 9 o'clock to morrow morning at the ,foot of Bast Yamhill street. The way to get there is to take any car, or walk, to the east ern approach of the Morrison-street SWIMMING BATHS WHICH WILIi bridge, get off and walk one block south to Yamhill, and the baths are then right before one. Ask any car conductor to give transfers or let one off at the Port land Public Baths. The hours are as follows: For boys every day, from 9 A. M. to 12, and from 1:30 P. M. to 3:30 P. M., with the ex ception of Saturday afternoons; for girls and women, Wednesday from 3:30 to 6 P. M. ; Monday, Thursday and Saturday from, 8:30 to 6, and Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 7 to 8:30 the baths are reserved for men and women together. Women alone are admitted Tuesday and Friday from 3:30 to 6. Men alone are ad mitted Sunday from 1:30 to 5, and Tues day, Thursday and Saturday from 7 to 8:30. "Boys are considered to be tinder 15 years old; from 15 years up all are rated as "men." . Adults find children do not bathe together except in the case of the women and girls. Each day from 3:30 P. M. a charge of 25 cents is made with the exception of Wednesday afternoon, Saturday evening and Sunday. This charge includes every thing towels.suits, dressing-rooms - and bath. Otherwise the baths are absolutely free. Bathers may use their own suits and towels on charge nights, but the cost will be the-same. Bathing suits' are required under all circumstances, and private dressing-rooms are provided. Everything in regard to the baths is maitained with strict regard to sani tary conditions. No suit or towel is used by more than one person without being boiled. This prevents all chances of spreading any disease whatever. Except the bathing, no other form of amusement Is allowed, such as refresh ments, music or catch-pennies. The es tablishment is strictly a first-class bath ing float, and nothing else. It is said, to be the finest floating bathing estab lishment in the. United States, and with in the past week a letter of inquiry came all the way from Trenton, N. J., asking for drawings, pictures and other data as a guide for the building of a similar one in the East. The baths are the creation of L. Sam uel and Edward Holman, for the public convenience, pleasure and health of the people of Portland. The charge made barely maintains the baths, and these two gentlemen supply the difference, when there is any, from their own pri vate pockets. Others give now and then, but these two men are the main stay. One exception, however, is that of William Isensee, who every year sends in a check for $75 In memory of his little boy who was drowned seven years ago in the Willamette. Since then, when the bathing float was begun not one boy has been drowned in the Willam ette within the city limits, whereas from five to 15 deaths by drowning occurred during previous years. Since the baths have been . in operation not one drown ing, or even an unpleasant Incident, has occurred on the float. Last year, during the flood the swim ming cage was swept away, but this year it has been replaced by a bigger and better one at a cost of more than $1000. supplied by Mr. Samuel and Mr. Holman. The new cage has a depth of from 9 inches to 8 fee't, and is so de Signed that even a baby has a chance to wads' and splash, or an expert swimmer can" dive to his heart's content. It is im possible to lose anyone from the cage. The current keeps the water always fresh and. clean, and a constant watch is maintained by the swimming master. The baths this year arp under the charge of Mr. and Mrs. Alphin, who act as superintendent and matron respec tively. The baths can accommodate from SOO to GOO at one time, and about 100,000 persons bathe there during the season. The -baths keep open all Summer, usually 15 days from the opening, but longer if the weather permits it. They will close this year about the last of September. Asks Corvallis for Gas Franchise.

DEACON TELLS BEAR STORY Exciting Experience of Portland Mazamas in Hanging Valley. Everyone who has made arrangements to take the trip to Hanging Valley and Olallie Butte and tf ascend Mount Jef ferson with, the Mazamas this year is on the tiptoe of expectation. Though within a comparatively short distance of civili zation the party will be in a wilderness as wild as that which furnishes inspira tion for the Leather Stocking Tales. "Anyone can make the trip with us who has the nerve to face a she bear with cubs without flinching and who ,wlll make arrangements at the Mazama head quarters on 'the third flooY of the City Hall building," said Deacon Hicks yes terday. Many are making the trip this year yho do not belong to the Mazama organization. 1 "Had it not been for the presence of mind of S. S. Mohler, who will be our guide this year, he might have been In jured or killed by a bear we met on the OPES TOMORROW. trail last year," continued Mr. Hicks. "We had been camping in the Hanging alley where we had spent a delightful time. From there we took up the trail toward Olallie Butte, and were tramping along, Mr. Mohler in the lead, when he spoke up quickly and said, 'There's a bear In the trail. Shoot him in the head.' " ' ' "I grabbed my gun but did not at first see the bear. Advancing cautiously I got a sight on him the instant he saw me. He was a cub and started off on the run. He wobbled along as fast as his short legs could carry him, but I found that I was gaining rapidly. The cub appreciated this, too, for he left the trail and ran up a tree. He clung to the side opposite me. about fifty feet from the ground, but the instant he poked his head around to reconnolter I fired. "As the smoke cleared away I heard a loud crash in the brush' near by, and going in that direction found the mother of the cub making for me. At sight of me she turned and made off on the run, but I followed until we came to the foot of a little, lake with a stream run ning from it. Here the bear crossed, but as it . was too wide to jump and too deep to wade without going in above my blps, I did not attempt to follow her. "As I stood watching to see what she would do, Mohler called out In an ex cited tone, 'Here's your bear up a tree." "I called back that I had killed the little one and that the big one had crossed the creek. " 'But there's another bear here up a tree,' he called. "I went back through the brush as fast as I could, and took a shot at the bear up the tree. It fell down apparently dead, but as I kicked it it roused Itself, and I saw that I had only shot off the end of its nose: I was about to shoot it again when Hicks said, 'No, don't shoot. Irf-t's see what the dog will do.' "The dog didn't want to fight, and neither did the bear, though we 'sicked' the dog on and poked the bear to make him angry. "At this juncture the dog started off and Mohler gave the bear a sound kick, at which it made a lunge for him. I could not shoot for Mohler was between m and the bear. Just as the bear was ready to seize Mohler with his huge paws the guide kicked him such a sting ing blow oir the nose that they both rolled over and over among the dead leaves. The bear then started out on the run and went up a tree. After I had shot him I found him to be about a year old. He weighed 150 pounds." MANY TO ATTEND BANQUET Big Demand for Seats at Garfield Dinner. What was first planned to be a Port land function in the reception and en tertainment of Secretary of the ' In terior Garfield at the Commercial Club next Saturday has developed into a state affair. Prominent men . from various sections of the state are send ing in their applications for seats at the banquet table, among them being E. W. Haines, of Forest Grove, presi dent of the last session of the Senate, and H. B. Thielsen, president o the Salem Commercial Club. Manager Richardson received a mes sage last night from Mr. Thielsen ask ing that 10 seats be reserved for rep resentatives from the Salem Club, which embraces leading business men of the Capital City. "The reservation of seats will soon have to be closed if the requests keep up at the present rate," said Mr. Rich ardson, "for we are nearlng the limit of our seating capacity." APIAN0F0R$5., .

Klser Photo Company, Imperial Hotel. BOARD TO ACCEPT Resignation of Dr. Wheeler Will Stand. AT OUTS WITH THE MAYOR Sleeting Wilt Be Held .Today, When Jfew Incumbent of City Health Office May Be Selected hy Commissioners. Mas-or Lane has called a meeting of the City Board of Health to be held todayfor the purpose of considering the resignation of Dr. C. H. Wheeler. City Health Officer. The considera tion of Dr. Wheeler's resignation and the election of his successor are the work of the City Health Board, which will undoubtedly accept the resigna tion, since the breach between the Health Officer and the Mayor appears to be beyond mending. Neither Mayor Lane nor the- members of the Health Board will, give any intimation who Dr. Wheeler's successor will be. - "Personally I like Dr. Wheeler and consider that he has been a faithful and competent officer," said Mayor Lane yesterday, "but the cause of our disagreement was his failure to com ply with the provisions of the city charter respecting the making of requisitions for supplies in his depart ment. The charter 'specifically pro vides that on the first of each month the head of each of the city depart ments shall file with the Auditor a statement of the probable expenses of his department for the month. This statement .must be itemized showing the partioular objects for which an ap propriation is asked, together with the probable cost. "This was not done by Dr. Wheeler in submitting his estimate for the month of July. The item over which the trouble has arisen appeared on the estimate as follows: " 'Labor and material, etc., to repair pesthouse and grounds, $150.' Would Give No Estimate. "When I asked Dr. Wheeler what improvements were necessary he answered that a fenoe was needed. I asked him what kind of a, fence but he did not know. Neither would he estimate the kind of a fence he want ed nor the probable expense. I then Insisted that be should specify what Improvements were actually demanded and he said: The boiler might blow up.' The following item was then In serted in the estimate: " 'Should the boiler of tha pesthouse need repairs, $20.' " "The item of $15J was stricken from the estimate and it was this that angered Dr. Wheeler and has resulted in the filing of his resignation. Per haps I would not have so closely scrutinized this particular estimate, but for the fact that I noticed one item of $20 for repairing the cook stove and boiler at the pesthouse. June 29, four days before the meeting of the Executive Board. The requisition for this expense was presented for my signature and I unwittingly signed the same, only to discover subsequently that the requisition had been ante dated 15 days, being dated June 12, when, as a matter of fact, the bill for the repairs was dated June 27, or two days before the requisition directing the expense had been Issued. I con sidered this practice of a fraudulent character and disrespectful to myself and I promptly informed Dr. Wheeler of my resentment. Trustees for Taxpayers. "We are merely trustees charged with the expenditure of the taxpayers' money. These funds are raised by taxation,- to which the poor as well as the rich contribute and they are en titled to know where their money goes and I propose that they shall know as long as I am connected with the city's government. That is my oonoeption of my position and I shall adhere to that policy, even if I have i part company with my -best friends. We are expeoted to spend the people's money carefully and intelligently and we should not incur the slightest ex pense unless we can show that it is necessary And that the money has been properly expended." As the Mayor discussed the Dr. Wheeler Incident he was checking over a largo number of bills against the city preparatory to signing: the war rants for their payment, Each ao count was checked over carefully and when the Items were found to be cor rectly listed and the bill regularly ap proved by the proper board or commit tee, then and not until then did the Mayor affix his signature. "This work is not required of me," concluded the Mayor, "but I have fol lowed this practice ever since I became Mayor and I shall oontinue to do so as long as I occupy my present posi tion." MAYOR IS NOT TO APPOINT Executive Board Must Name City En gineer and Police Chief. "The mistaken impression is current," said Mayor Lane yesterday, "that the appointing of a City Engineer and a Chief of Police .rests with the Mayor. But such is not th& case, these appoint ments being vested In the executive board. Under the city charter the ap pointment of all subordinate officers in the city's government is removed from the Mayor to prevent the rewarding of political friends. The' heads of the dif ferent departments are elective by the different boards charged with the su pervision and management of these re spective departments. The only appoint ing power vested in the Mayor is that of special policemen or the naming of such subordinates as are not covered by the different boards. ' The executive board having charge of the Police De partment and the office of City Engi neer has the naming of those officers. To the Health Board belongs the ap pointing of a successor to Dr. C. H. Wheeier, 'who has resigned as City Health Officer. The only tima the Mayor has a voice in selecting these different officials is- when a tie results in the vote of the members of the different boards, otherwise he has nothing to say, al though the city's chief executive Is gen erally' consulted regarding the prospec tive appointment and selections are in variably made that have the indorse ment of the Mayor and are in harmony with his policy." Under the construction of the charter it is not to be expected that successors to City Engineer Taylor and . Chief of Police Gritzmacher will be announced be fore the next meeting of the executive board, which will be held next week. t Forest Fire Near Elm a. ELmXT Wash., July 9. (Special.)
