SILL CITY AHEAD
Centralia Is to Have Water
Tower Before Portland.
COUNCIL HAS THE MONEY
Sentiment Growing That Funds
Should Be Appropriated for Pur-
chase of This Piece of Fire
Fighting Apparatus.
"It looks as though Centralia would
yet have a water tower before Port
land." declared Chairman Flelschner,
at the meeting- of the fire committee
of the Executive Board yesterday
afternoon, when Chief Campbell had
concluded his report of a meeting: at
the Washington City.
This remark well indicated the senti
tnent of members of the board, and
especially of the fire committee, which
has long- been trying to secure a water
tower and is now waiting: with as
much patience as possible for the
Council to appropriate the necessary
money. It feels that In delaying- from
week to week and month to month the
purchase of a water tower, members
of the Council are postponing: a mat
ter that Is of utmost Importance to
the city and which should' be attended
to at once.
AVlth Ways and Means Committee.
About three months agro, on recom
rnendatton of the fire committee, a
resolution recommending: the purchase
of a water tower was passed by the
Executive Board. It was a request to
the Council for S850D. covering: the cost
of the tower and four life nets, and
was sent to that body by the board.
By the Council It was referred to the
ways and means committee, and there
It has lain ever since. There has been
very little discussion of the matter by
the committee, but each time It has
been left In the boxto be acted on at
a future session.
The resolution was lntroducel by Mr.
Flelschner, who has been using every
effort to secure the water tower.
Other members of the board are giv
ing him their hearty support In the
matter and Chief Campbell has been
asking for a long time for this addition
to the equipment of1 his department.
All declare that the cost does not
compare at all to the value of the
tower to the city.
'"Each day that the purchase of a
water tower Is delayed may mean a
loss of thousands of dollars to Portland
citizens," said Mr. Flelschner last
night. "This was shown by the burn
ing of the Haselwood Cream Company's
building Monday. There is no ques
tion whatever but that the greater
part of this damage would have been
prevented had the firemen been able
to fight the flames by means of a
tower. In this one fire several times
the cost of the tower would have been
saved.
"Since that fire dozens of property
owners have been asking me and other
members of the board why we have no
water tower and urging that one be
purchased Immediately. It Is not pos
sible for the board to take another
step until the appropriation Is made
by the Council. Our hands re tied,
but we are very anxious that the
money be mads available without de
lay. Regarded as Necessary.
"At the time the resolution was
jjassed the fire fund contained plenty
of money to pay for a water tower,
besides meeting the regular expenses
for the remainder of the year. Sev
eral large expenditures have been au
thorized since from this fund by the
ways and means committee and the
Burplu? might not now entirely cover
the expenditure. Even if it does not,
money should be transferred from the
general fund.
"A water tower Is regarded as a part
of. the necessary equipment for fire
fightipg In every large modern city,
and Portland should have had one sev
eral years ago. Outsiders Invariably
express astonishment when told that
we have no tower here. We have one
of the best fire departments In the
country for its size, and It is certainly
poor policy not to supply our men
with adequate equipment."
When the appropriation for the
water tower 1b made by the Council,
Tilda will. at once be advertised for, as
this Is the only way in which such an
expenditure may be made. If the Coun
cil acts promptly it is probable that
1 tower can be secured by January 1.
FIRE CHIEF WILD VISIT EAST
Will Study New Methods and Appa
ratus for City.
In a resolution from the Council the
fire committee of the Executive Board
yesterday decided to consider the ad
visability of establishing a new engine
house In the vicinity of St. Vincent's
Hospital. A petition for better fire
protection has been received from res
idents of that neighborhood, and it is
probable that a new company will be
installed. No action will be taken,
however, until after the return of Chief
Campbell from the East.
Chief Campbell will leave tonight
for Washington, D. C, where he will
attend a session of the International
Association of Fire Engineers, Octo
ber 8-11. On hi way to Washington
he will visit a number of cities, inspect
their equipment, and study methods
of fire fighting. As new equipment.
Including a watertower, is soon to be
purchased for the local department,
it is believed that the information ob
tained by the Chief will be of con-J
siderahle value, and the expenses of
his trip are to be paid by the city,
MR. REID'S CRITICISMS
Fruit Inspector Lewis Speaks in His
Own. Defense Quotes Scripture.
OREGON CITT. Or.. Sept. 12. (To the
Editor.) An editorial in Tuesdays Oregon
Ian criticises me pretty sharply for pre
lumlng to differ with Commission. r Reld. I
fall to see what there Is In my position that
would prevent me from having an opinion
and expressing It. if I did It in a gentle
manly manner. Possibly Mr. Reld'a motive
Is all right, but his method Is certainly
unique. It may be that calling the farmers
of the county mossbacks and shiftless ne'er-do-wells
will have the desired effect, but I
don't bellevs It, and I don't think It Is the
proper thing to do. In the first place it Isn't
true, and. If It was, it Isn't proper for Mr.
Reld to express himself In that manner.
Mr. Reid's usefulness In his district la In
direct ratio to the confidence and esteem lit
which he Is held by the farmer and fruit
grower and he has no business to do any
thing that will diminish the one or destroy
the other. I agree with you that homeseek-
ers will not be driven away from the county
If they Investigate what Mr. Reld aays about
It. I am not feeling badly about what Mr.
Held aays concerning the old scraggly orch
ards; that Is supposed to be his business and
I am soi-ry he did not confine his remarks to
them. I have no confessions to make and
no regrets.
I have always, since my appointment as
fruit inspector, done the very best I could
for all concerned, and I believe that for the
cost as much has been done in Clackamas
County In the last year as any county In
the atate. Every thing has gone along
smoothly and there has been a great amount
of good work done.
I think possibly the editor hardly knows
what It means to clean up the orchards of
Clackamas County. Some of ua that have
studied the matter and have worked at it
for four or five years, sparing no expense
and using the most approved machinery, can
find something to do in our backyards yet.
There would have been much more work
done in the line of grubbing and pruning
and spraying had the labor been available.
I should have taken out two or three old
orchards but could not get workmen for
love or money. We are not all fixed to
handle a gang of Japs or Chinks like Mr.
Reld and some would not care to If they
could.
Jt la amusing to hear of the wonderful re
sources of Clackamaa County. Everything is
lovely and only man Is vile. And then it is
so pathetic. How often would I have gath
ered you together under my wing, but ye
would not. There will be but little trouble
to abolish. Institute work In this county. Mr.
Reld has done his part In that If nothing
more. Thus endeth the chapter as far as I
am concerned. A. J. LEWIS
TRAIN SERVICE VERY BAD
COMPLAINT IS FILED AGAINST
CORVALLIS & EASTERN.
B. F. Jones Says Freight Charges
Are Vnequal and Passenger
Service Abominable.
SALEM, Or., Sept. 11 (Special.) For
mal complaint against the alleged inade
quacy of the passenger train service on
the Corvallis & Eastern Railroad, be
tween Albany and Yaqulna, has been
filed with the Railroad Commission by
Representative B. F. Jones, of Inde
pendence, setting forth, In addition to
the charges enumerated in the original
and informal complaint, that the cn
pany exercises ' discrimination in the
freight rates charged upon carload shik
ments of lumber from Toledo and Elk
City to Albany as compared with ship
ments of the same commodity from Mill
City to Yaqulna, a much greater distance,
and even upon shorter hauls.
Complainant declares the Corvallis &
Eastern charges from 60 to $63 per car
for each freight car loaded with lumber
from Toledo and Elk City, eastbound to
Albany, whereas said company charges
less than half that amount from the mills
on the end of the road east of Albany
and for a shorter haul. He asks for a
hearing and that an order be made rem
edying the conditions complained of.
Summarized the other charges are:
That the company does not provide suf
ficient accommodations for passengers
Tiding on its trains over the railroad; that
upon many dates men and women have
been compelled to stand In -the aisles and
upon the platforms between Yaqulna and
Albany; that the company runs mixed
trains, carrying freight and passengers
and stock upon the same train, causing
delay and much suffering to the stock,
as well as to the passengers; that BT
reason of the overcrowded conditions ol
the trains the lives of the passengers
were endangered; that the railroad Is in
an unsafe condition in that hundreds of
the ties are so rotten that they will not
hold the spikes; that the company Is sell
ing tickets over an old steamboat that
has only a carrying capacity of 100 pas
sengers, whereas there are often as many
as 360 crowded on the boat and a house
scow which the boat sometimes has to
tow. and that the company sells tickets
from Albany and other points, discrim
inating as to other safe boats on the bay.
CHOICE CATTLE IN WALLOWA
Portland Buyers Buying Fat Stock
for Early Fall Delivery.
ENTERPRISE, Or., Sept. 12. (Special.)
The past few days cattlebuyers from
Walla Walla and Portland have been In
this vicinity purchasing cattle. The gen
eral run of cattle this year Is far ahead
of that of previous years, and the aver
age price paid is from 138 to $40 per head.
The cattlemen are contracting their cat
tle at the present market price, to be
delivered early this Fall.
The cattle of the Wallowa Valley are
much sought after as the number of
buyers here would indicate. They run
on the range all Summer and feed on
the bunch grass, which grows in great
abundance. Finer bunches of cattle have
never been taken from this territory than
are now being purchased.
The handicap of transportation has been
a great hindrance In marketing the live
stock of the rich country surrounding
Enterprise, and the long drive of 57 miles
makes a shrinkage of from 50 to 75
pounds a head. This hardship which the
cattlemen have had to contend with for"
years will soon be eliminated, as the O.
R. & N. is pushing the work on their line
to Enterprise with all possible speed.
Yesterday about 3000 head of choice fat
steers were purchased by representatives
from Portland and Walla Walla.
LAND GOES AT HIGH PRICE
School Holdings Sold in Advance of
Appraised Values.
OLYMPIA, Wash., Sept. 12. (Special.)
Last Saturday In many of the counties
of the state the second monthly sale of
state school and granted lands took place
under the new law and so far such of
the counties as have reported show that
as a general thing the property was sold
at the appraised valuation.
In Chelan County 40 acres near Wen
atchee, appraised at $800. was run up to
$2650. In Cowlitz County timber about
19 miles from Woodland went for $1150
that was appraised at $740, and another
tract brought $3600 that was appraised
at $2652.50. In Kitsap County shore lands
near Kingston appraised at $158.65, sold
for $600.
There is an unofficial report that tide
lands in Pacific County appraised at
about $600, sold Saturday for about $36,000,
but the official report has not been re
ceived here.
The regular sale of state lands will
be October 6. The lists are furnished
free by County Auditors or by the State
Land Commissioner.
WHEAT 60 BUSHELS TO ACRE
Farmers In Wallowa Valley Har
vesting Unusually Heavy Crop.
ENTERPRISE. Or.' Sept. 12. (Special.)
Harvesting in the Wallowa Valley is
under way, and the crops are the larg
est in the history of the county. Thresh
ing In many places shows the grain to be
of excellent milling quality, and most
of it will grade No. 1. Farmers living
in the Wallowa and Imnaha., Valleys
report the yield of wheat to be from 40
to 60 bushels to the acre. The fruit
yield is also well up to the standard in
quality and quantity. Apples, pears,
plums, cantalopes and watermelons are
being brought in large loads to Enter
prise, and from there shipped to th- city
markets. Money Is plentiful and the
stockraisers and farmers of this ac
tion are happy.
JEALOUS OP ITER
Mayor Lane Wants No In
fringement on Supply.
CALLS MOUNT HOOD ROAD
Accuses Manager Miller of Perjury
In Dealings for Right of Way.
Company Desires to Place
Flume on Bull Run River.
In coming before the Water Board yes
terday to secure a right-of-way for the
Mount Hood Railway. & Power Company
across a tract of ground on Bull Run
River, Manager Miller, of that com
pany, found himself confronted by sharp
criticism from members of the Board and
Mayor Lane, the chairman. The, Board
was not unwilling that the rights should
be granted, but it was not at all pleased
with the manner in which Miller' had un
dertaken to secure them and they told
him so in decisive terms.
Before applying to the Board for a
right-of-way, Miller had talked with
Mayor Lane and City Attorney Kava
naugh and had then begun condemnation
proceedings In the Circuit Court. In filing
this suit, the Mayor declared. Miller al
leged that he had tried in vain to nego
tiate with the Water Board. It was a
clear case of perjury, the Mayor said,
and he threatened to have no more deal
ings with Miller, as a representative of
the company.
"You went into court and swore that
you had tried to obtain' this right-of-way
from the Water Board and had been
unable to come to an agreement," de
lared Mayor Lane after Miller had made
his petition to the Board. "That was
untrue and you perjured yourself in
making any such assertion. You came
to me about the matter and I told you
to go to the Water Board, but this is
the first time you have ever brought the
matter up here. The city wishes to deal
fairly with all, but we want people to
come to us with clean hands."
Miller Makes Defense.
In defense Miller declared that the
statement he had signed in the Circuit
Court was merely a matter of form. It
was impossible to Institute condemna
tion proceedings, he said, without first
swearing that it had been impossible to
reach an agreement with the owner of
the property.
The request of the railway company
is for a right to lay a track across a
13-acre strip at the confluence of the
Bull Run and Sandy Rivers. A written
petition was presented for the use of a
100-foot strip and it was agreed to destroy
no more of the trees on the property
than should be absolutely necessary. It
was the sense of the Board that an
easement and not an absolute right-of-way
should be given if proper conditions
could be agreed on. The matter was
taken under consideration for action at
a special meeting to be called as soon as
possible, and in the meantime the com
pany will not continue its condemnation
suit.
Brings In Question of Water Rights
Besides laying its track and bridging
the Bull 'Run, the" company desires to
install a flume on the property. This
brought up the question of water rights
and the Board referred the matter to the
City Attorney to see If the company had
filed any claims on water from Bull
Run. If It Is found that any proceedings
have been begun, which in any way
threaten the city's water supply, present
or future, the Board will not only refuse
to grant the right-of-way but will fight
the condemnation case.
"Its water supply from Bull Run Is
the most sacred thing that this city
possesses," declared Dr. Raffety, "and I
shall never vote consent to one drop
being taken from the river by anyone
besides the city. Although an act of the
Legislature has granted the city con
trol of all water from the river, a water
claim once established is a difficult thing
to deal with and we should allow no
one to infringe on this river that will be
needed by Portland for all time."
BILL FROM LONDON POLICE
What It Cost Joe Day to Land J. T.
Thompson in Clutch of Law.
SALEM, Or.. Sept. 12. (Special.)
Governor Chamberlain is in receipt of a
statement of the expenses of the met
ropolitan police, of London, for serv
ices and incidentals in connection with
the arrest and extraditon of John

land, to the United States and Port
land. Or., showing a balance due of 15

statement came through the medium of
United States Ambassador Whltelaw
Reld, at London, and United States
Acting Secretary of State Adee, at
Washington, D. C to the Governor,
and will be turned over to Secretary
of State Benson for liquidation.
Thompson was extradited from Lon
don, England, upon the charge of the

an account of the cost of bringing
Thompson back, and the statement
Just received will be compared with
the Day expense account to ascertain
if there are any duplications, before be
ing audited and allowed by the Secre
tary of State.
ELECTRIC STORM WAS SEVERE
Lightning Struck Hard and Often
on Vashon and Maury Islands.
TACOMA, Wash., Sept, 12. (Special.)
The electric storm of yesterday
played havoc in the forests adjacent to
Tacoma and on Vashon and Maury
Islands. At Burton lightning struck
one of the chimneys on the college and
partially wrecked It. No one was in
jured. A bolt struck a chain attached
to a heavy log drawn by two horses
near the town and killed one of them.
The other one will have to be shot. At
Dockton one of the towers on the dry
dock was badly shattered by a bolt
which set Are to the timber but was
quickly extinguished. The roof of a
house In town was struck, but no seri
ous damage was done.
It is estimated that fully 1000 trees
on Maury Island were struck by light
ning. Some of the large ones were
splintered from top to bottom. The
loss will be considerable to the log
gers who have contracts on the tim
ber, or to the owners of such land
that has been sold by the state to
leaseholders.
A bolt of lightning struck a large
pine tree standing on the edge of the
bank at Montevlsta, hurled it to the
beach below and with it went several
tons of gravel, part of which struck
the landing and tore loose some of the

'TWEEN DEVIti AND DEEP SEA
Tacoma Saloon Licenses Held Up
and Shops Must Close.
TACOMA, Wash.. Sept. 12. (Special.)
Former saloonkeepers who are now run
ning their places without licenses and
therefore liable to arrest as common
keepers of "blind pigs," are to be
yanked Into court and their shops closed
up. Councilman Turnbull gave due notice
last night that he would act as a pri
vate citizen and file complaint unless the
Chief of Police enforces the law. Since
the Mayor refuses to approve any more1
bonds until the Council grants a license
to John M alone, all license granting has
been stopped and at the present rate Ta
coma will become either a city of blind
pigs or a prohibition town as soon as the
rest of the licenses expire. There are
about 20 saloons which have been run
ning without licenses for nearly a month.
There were last year only 90 department
stores in Germany, where such stores have
aroused a much more bitter animosity than In
the United States.
GOOD BREAKFASTS
Start the Day Right.
Breakfast Is perhaps the most im
portant meal of the day. Europeans
usually eat a very light breakfast.
Many Americans have stomach trou
ble because they eat too much or food
of not the right sort for the morning
meal. Ah ideal breakfast Is a baked
apple or some other fruit, a dish of
Grape-Nuts food with little cream, soft
boiled egg, slice of hard crisp toast and
a cup of Postum Food Coffee.
Leave off all meat, hot biscuits, etc.
Grape-Nuts and Postum both furnish
the phosphate of potash together with
other food elements that go o make
up brain and nerve centers as well as
muscle and tissue, and both can be di
gested by the stomach of an Infant.
It is the part of wisdom nowadays
to use food especially selected for
nourishment and that can be easily di
gested. Ten day's trial of this break
fast and you will feel as though you
had "cleaned house."
The exhilaration of bounding health
is worth a hundred times the small out
lay of time and care In arranging such
a breakfast.
A New Jersey woman says she
formerly breakfasted on . chops, hot
biscuits and coffee. "After such a
meal I would have severe pains and
they would last sometimes far into the
night," She finally determined on a
change in her diet, and had for break
fast only Grape-Nuts food with cream,
and Postum Food Coffee. Bhe says:
"In a very few days the intestinal trou
ble all disappeared. I have regained
my old-time weight, lost the irritabil
ity and nervousness, and life takes on a
new aspect.
"When I feel a little exhausted in the
day I simply drop everything and stir
a spoonful of Grape-Nuts in a little
cream or hot milk, and in ten minutes I
have regained my vigor and fresh
ness." Grape-Nuts food is best when served
just as it comes from the package
without any cooking whatever. The
food has already been cooked ten or
twelve hours In the process of manu
facturing It. When made up into pud
dings, pies and other desserts it does
not hurt it to be cooked again, but
when served simply as a breakfast food
It should never be cooked. On the con
trary, Postum absolutely must be boiled
15 to 30 minutes before the food value
and flavor can be brought out. "There's
a Reason."
