Thinks Commercial Bodies Should
Unite to Improve Facilities.
Will Inspect North Bank
Road on the Trip.
Oregon and the entire Pacific North
west have an enthusiastic friend in
Louis W. Hill, president of the Great
Northern Railway, who spent a few
hours in Portland yesterday. . Mr. Hil
is a son of J. J. Hill, the veteran rail
road builder, and was recently made
the executive head of the Great Nor
thern. ' Accompanying Mr. Hilt were
Francis B. Clark, formerly traffic man
ager for the Hill lines S. A. Plechner,
purchasing agent for the Great Nor
thern; and F. A. Piel, secretary to
Mr. Hill. The party will leave in Mr.
HiH"s private car this morning for the
Kast.
"The Great Northern is now doing
business in the three greatest cities
in the United States Portland, Taco
ma and Seattle," said Mr. Hill last
night. "Eastern people think we have
misjudged this section of the coun
try, but they do not speak intelligently.
They know nothing of your country
which is a land of wonderful possibil
ities. Its development has just be
gun. "it is a surprise to me that some
decisive action has not been taken
by Portland's commercial bodies to im
prove terminal facilities here. In con
junction with our new f reighthouses
we have planned for 18,000 feet of
team tracks. This means room for
three and one-half mjles of cars and
conveniences for unloading them every
24 hours, but rival interests seem de
termined to prevent the use of these
grounds. When this question has been
adjusted and these enlarged facilities
are made available the problem of ter
minal accommodations would be solved
and th congestion in shipping circles
would relieved.
Mr. Hill Is Amazed.
"I am amazed that such a condition
should be allowed to exist in Port
land. "At this time we do not contemplate
further construction work, having our
hands full with a number of projects.
Splendid progress is being made on
the North Bank road, where we have
S000 men employed on the main line
and its extensions We are using 31
steam shovels in this work, and ths
shows remarkable activity, since it is
unusual for any one system to own and
operate more than a dozen of these
labor-saving devices. But we are de
sirous of completing our system into
this Northwest country, and are push
ing the work as rapidly as men and
machinery can do so."
Mr. Hill and party reached Portland
from the Sound yesterday morning,
. leaving at S o'clock for Astoria for
an inspection of the Astoria & Colum
bia River Railroad, which was recently
acquired by the Hill interests. This
Is the first trip the new president of
the Great Northern has made over the
Astoria line.
Will Inspect North Bunk.
Mr. Hill explained that his trip was
for the double purpose of inspecting
his company's system and becoming
better acquainted with this territory.
Before returning East he will complete
an inspection 'of the North Bank road.
He denies that his company is in any
way interested in the proposed rail
road up the Deschutes and into Cen
tral Oregon.
Mr. Hill said anti-railroad legislation
nd the temporary flurry on Wall
street a few months ago had not no
ticeably affected conditions in railroad
circles. Speaking for his own com
pany, he said its business had never
been better while the prospects for the
future were brighter than ever He

something like half of them are owned
by firms not members of the Ship Own
ers' Association and are therefore free to
fix their own rates In the matter of car
rying cargoes. With such a percentage
of craft acting independently of the com
bine, it is believed by the local export
ers that suitable rates can be made when
the new season's grain crop is ready for
shipment.
There Is also a disposition on the part
of the shippers to charter large iranip
steamships which at, present can be se
cured almost as cheaply as can the
windjammers and In addition are much
more satisfactory for the reason that
they have a greater -capacity and can
deliver a cargo in less than half the
time required by the average sailing ves
sel. The largest fleet of tramp steam
ships ever coming to the Pacific Coast
will arrive at San Francisco next Fall,
and nearly all of these will be available
as graincarriers. The tramps are en
route to San Francisco with cement and
all kinds of building material required in
rebuilding the city, and after discharging
cargoes will be available for foreign
loading.
In view of the available, tonnage en
route the wheat exporters are not worry
ing in the least over the high tariff ex
acted by the ship owners and intend to
secure as much tonnage as possible at
the best rate obtainable from the inde
pendent owners.

SEATTLE, Wash., July 24. Tugboat
men of Puget Sound are determined to
have modified the present Federal regula
tions governing the navigation of their
crafts. Today the Tugboat Men's Associ
ation telegraphed to Supervising United
States Marine Inspector John Berming
I ham, of San Francisco, asking that he
come to Puget Sound and assist them in
modifying the rules. If Mr. Bermingham
cannot leave San Francisco, they propose
sending a delegation to visit him. and if
this does not succeed, they declare their
intention of visiting the National Capital.
The steamship Tremont is in port from
Tacoma, taking on a capacity cargo for
the Orient and the Philippines.
The steam schooner Jeanie arrived from
Valdez and way ports today with 660 tons
of ore from La Touche Island and Land

SCHOONER SLADE IS IN PORT
Was 3 7 Bays From Honolulu For
Days Vessel Drifted on Calm Sea.
ABERDEEN, Wash., July 21. (Special.)
The schooner R.' C. Slade, for which
anxiety was felt on account of her voy
age of 37 days from Honolulu, arrived
at the Lundstrom shipyards late Tuesday
night and today was placed on the marine
railway for repainting and some minor
repairs.
Captain SoneYud, of the Slade, says the
voyage was a drifting match, in which
his ship for days and days lay becalmed.
For 20 days the schooner cruised . around
in latitude 42 and 43 without making a
mile headway. Time and again the Slade
would beat 24 hours offshore, then come
about on the other tack and stand in
ward, and upon each reckoning Captain
Sonerud would find that the ship had lost
at least 20 miles. He found it impossible
to make further north than Tillamook
Head, until finally, in desperation, he
stood out to sea to the northward for 134
miles, when he again came about and was
enabled to reach the bay.

Ordinance Will Be Passed Making
It Illegal to Drive Round Cor

Automobilists who are in the habit of
driving through the streets without re
gard for the safety of men, women and
children who may happen to be in their
way are to be placed under more close
regulation. Not only will they be required
to run at a reasonable speed when follow

will have either to stop their machines

Council Is going to pass an ordinance
that will make it very definite that pedes
trians have some rights on the city thor
oughfares as well as those who travel in
the big "chug-wagons."
The Council yesterday took the matter
up in response to a communication from
H. F. Ong. Mr. Ong complained that on
' several times he had barely escaped with
his life when one of the machines bore
down upon him. The cars, he declares,
are wont to glide along at high speed and
dash around the corner without giving
the slightest warning. If the people- on
foot are agile, Mr. Ong admits they can
usually get out of the way, but some
times they don't and usually they are
badly frightened besides. If the cars
keep increasing at the present rate, it Is
his opinion the streets will be no place
for the ordinary citizen unless he is in
a streetcar.
The Council looked at it in a great deal
the same way and they voted to prepare
an ordinance that will provide a remedy.
The new ordinance will regulate the
speed with which a' motor may. turn a
corner and may even put -drivers to the
inconvenience of stopping before they
make the turn. A special committee to
draw up the ordinance consists of Messrs.
Baker, Wallace and Menefee.
Postmaster Bray Sentenced.
Ira Bray, former postmaster at
Minnie, Or., yesterday pleaded guilty
in the United States Circuit Court to
an indictment charging him with
making fatee returns to the Postmas

fine of $50 on each of the three counts
on which he was indicted. He paid the
fine.

He!"
Councilman Wallace Insists That
Those Affected hy the Beldlng
Jmw Should Be Heard Be-
fore Its Enactment.
Beldlng's anti-trust law. which is
aimed to prevent trade combinations
of every kind in Portland, was brought
up at the special meeting of the Coun
cil yesterday afternoon, and. would
probably have been passed even with
out reference to a committee,' had it
not been for the regulation that any
one member of the Council can pre
vent final action on any measure at
the same meeting when if is intro
duced. A good majority of the Council
men stood ready to vote favorably on
the ordinance without further con
sideration, but Wallace objected on
the grounds that those interested
ought to be heard, and - the measure
was referred to the judiciary com
mittee. When the ordinance came up, Beld
lng explained that it had been prepared
by City Attorney Kavanaugh, and that
great plains had been taken to draw
up a bill that would be both legal
and effective. It was modeled, he said,
on the 'Ohio and California state laws,
with some slight variations. He urged
its passage without delay.
"Everyone knows, or should know,
that Portland' Is paying tribute' to
numerous trusts," said Beldlng.
"There are numerous combinations
here and they are robbing the people
on every side. The trusts control prac
tically everything that we eat and
even the fuel that we burn. Every
man who desires to erect a building in
Portland is forced to pay tribute to
the combine."
Rushlight also came forward to
champion the ordinance, and asked
that it be passed without being re
ferred. He eald that although he was
the member of an organization that is
often referred to as the plumbers'
trust, he favored the ordinance and
stood ready to vote for it.
Previous to the discussion Wallace
had moved that the ordinance be re
ferred to the committee on accounts
and current expenses. This commit
tee is composed of Menefee, Annan
and Bennett.
Rushlight declared that there wa
no use referring it and wanted to vote
on it at once. ' Wallace, however, ob
jected, and this prevented any vote
being taken.
"I move to amend to refer the or
dinance to the Judiciary committee,"
said Vaughn. "This is purely a mat
ter of the legality of the ordinance.
We are all- ready to vote to suppress
trusts in Portland, I take It, and if the
measure is regular I do not believe
there is a member of the Council who
will vote against it. No one would
contend for a minute that this ordi
nance is not right and every citizen
knows that it should be passed."
Baker wanted to go into a commit
tee of the whole and make a recom
mendation on the ordinance at once.
This ateo aroused the objection that
those interested in the matter could not
be heard. It was also decided if the
provisions were to be discussed in a
committee, better results could be
gained before a small committee.
"We certainly ought to refer this,"
declared Wallace. "There are a great
many Interested who want to be
heard."
"If you wait until you get an or
dinance that will suit all of the trusts
you will not have a very effective
measure left," responded Beldlng.
The measure was finally sent to the
Judiciary committee .with only one op
posing vote. Concannon refused to
vote to refer It, as he was anxious for
immediate action. The judiciary com
mittee consists of Bennett, Cellars and
Vaughn.
