BOTH BOATS ARE DAMAGED

Vndcr Light Sail Government
Craft Is Hove To, Awaiting
Arrival' of Tug.
ASTORIA. Or.. Jan. 3. (Special.)
The British ship Port Patrick, which
Hailed from this port this morning for
the United Kingdom, collided with the
Columbia Kiver lightship shortly be
fore noon, and both vessels were dam
aged. How badly the Port Patrick
was Injured is not definitely known.
The Port Patrick was towed out about
10:30 this morning by the tug Wallula
with Pilot McVlkar on board. The pilot
left her when well outsido the bar and
as a strong southeast wind was blow
ing, the vessel put oft shore and to
the southwest.
When near the lightship and about an
hour after the tug had dropped her,
she was caught aback and swung
around, struck the lightship a glanc
ing blow about midships on the port
Bide. The lightship's bulwarks, cov
ering boards, house and lifeboat were
smashed, the latter being cut in two.
Her smokestack, fore try sail and mast
were carried away.
The Port Patrick lost some of her
head gear, but wheather any other
damage was done, is not known. After
the collision, the ellip ran in toward
the bar, where two tugs were towing
In the loaded French bark Geuthary
against a strong curi-ent. She set sig
nals saying the lightship was in need
of assistance, and later set a flag for
a pilot, but she Is not thought to have
been seriously injured as she flew no
(signals for a tug. When last' seen the
Port Patrick was headed off ehore
with light sails set.
As soon as the bark Guethary was
towed inside, so that she could be hand
led by one tug, the Tatoosh went out
to the assistance of the lightship. The
vessel was lying at her anchorage,
the report that she was adrift being an
srror. Captain Olsen, master of the
craft, reported the accident with the
damage to his vessel and to the Port
Patrick so far as he knew. He said
Ilia vessel would be all right until to
morrow morning, when the Tatoosh
will go outside and tow her in.
As soon as the accident was reported,
Captain Stuart and the Cape Disap
pointment Llfesaving crew went out to
the lightship and they are on board to
night. (With tlie Port Patrick standing on
ehore under light sail, she will. In all
probability, show up off the mouth of
the river again this morning. If she is
damaged sile will come back for re
pairs, and if not. she would have stood
iut under full sail. The Port Patrick is
in command of Captain Santy and
cleared from Portland . December 26
with a full cargo of wheat for the
United Kingdom.)

Three Days of January Show
Heavy Increase in City.
FIFTEEN TO 20 PER CENT
President Josselyn. of Street Rail
way Company, Says Figures In
dicate Marvelous Growth of
Portland in Twelvemonth.
President Josselyn, of the Portland Rail
way, Light & Power Company, said yes
terday that an unprecedented condition is
shown in the reports brought 'up to him
of the comparative amount of travel on
the streetcar lines of the city for the
opening; days of the year. The first three
days of January show an increase in
travel, as indicated by receipts, over the
corresponding days of last year, of be
tween 15 and 20 per cent. There is but
one way to account for this increase,
said Mr. Josselyn, and that is increased
population.
"People living here do not seem to re
alize how rapidly the city is growing."
continued Mr. Josselyn'. "Our daily re
ports of receipts are probably the best
barometers at hand to show this increase,
and taken in connection with the greater
amount of business done by the down
town retail stores, there is but one way
to account for them and that is that more
peoplj are being hauled on the street
cars and more people are shopping than
at this time last year.
"One item in our report rather surprised
me at first, and that is while former years
showed a marked falling off in receipts
immediately following the holiday shop
ping season, this year so far maintains
the increase made Immediately preceding
that season. Heretofore there was a fall
ing off from the average of about 51000
In the few days following the holidays;
this week there will be no such shrink
age shown.
"The company' has been able to get 12
of the new closed cars on the East Side
lines put into operation, and have three
more about ready to add to the O. W. P.
runs, known as the city line of that sys
tem that is to say, on the Sellwood,
Mount Scott and Mount Tabor services.
We have also added 12 of these new type,
broad cars on the Portland Railway lines,
and have 28 more in the shops, turning
them out at the rate of one every 24
hours.
"These cars are of unimultiple control,
Quipped with airbrakes, and are of the
same type as the new cars on the Oregon
City-Estacada line. With these additions
I am in hopes that patrons of the lines
will have less ground for complaints in
the matter of service, and that we shall
have a chance to withdraw from the lines
some of the old cars for repairs, paint
ing, etc.. which we have been unable to
do for the past few months on account
of the stress on our equipment.
"With the installation of unimultiple
control cars, one motorman may take out
trains of two or more cars; each of which
is provided with motors. We can by this
means give additional cars in times of
emergency without calling upon emerg
ency help. The new cars seat comfortably
40 passengers, and being built with wide
aisles, during rush hours can carry nearly
100."
TWO PERFORMANCES TODAY
The Beautiful Bird Fantasy Musical
Comedy, "Woodland," at Heilig.
There will be two performances at the
Heilig Theater, Fourteenth and Washing
ton streets, today. A special price matinee
will be given at 2:15 o'clock, and the last
time tonight at 8:13 o'clock. The attrac
tion will be Henry W. Savage's production
of Pixley & Luder's beautiful bird fantasy
musical-comedy, "Woodland." You can't
afford to miss this tuneful offering, it is
one of the most gorgeous Portland will get
this season. Seats are selling at theater.
"ARIZONA" MATIXEE TODAY
Great American Drama at Marquam
This Afternoon.
Today will see tho close of the engagement
of "Arizona" which has been delighting the
atergoers at the Marquam during the past
week. All the critics unite In saying the
present company is one of the best ever seen
in the play, and the production is more than
usually elaborate, including the presence of
a troop of cavalry on ' the state, something
never seen before in the Wtet. Every child
should are "Arizona" and every adult who has
not already done so should not neglect it
longer.
'THE CRISIS"
SO OX
OVER
Last Two Performances of1 Church
Ill's Play Today and Tonight.
The Baker Stock Company will be seen
but twice more in the great Churchill play,
"The Crisis," this afternoon and tonight.
The company's performance this season is
generally conceded to be far superior to the
one last year, and as a play this famous
story is even more interesting and compell
ing than the widely-read novel from which
it Is a dramatization. This will be the last
opportunity Portland will have of seeing
the play for a long time to come.
SOME CHILD TO BE HAPPY
Big Teddy Bear Will Be Given Away
at Matinee at Empire Today.
At the matinee at the Empire today every
child under 11! who attends will be given

win the biggest and most handsome Teddy
Bear that could be obtained in the city.
The play at the Empire is "Are You Crazy?"
and it Is a scream of fun for young and
old alike. Last time tonight.
Two Performances Today.
Two more performances will be given of
"The Man of Mystery" at the Star Theater.
These will be the matinee today and the

cessful this week at the Star and has been
voted a fine entertainment by all who have
seen it. The house has been crowded at
every performance.

containing love, pathos and comedy skill
fully blended.
"The Transgressor" Xext Week.
Ralph Stuart'a great human interest drama
will bo presented by the Allen Stock Company
at the Lyric next week, commencing Monday
night, and there is a general manifestation of
interest among local theatergoers. This Is
largely for the reason that Mr. Stuart wrote
"The Transgressor for himself and used it
successfully. The cast will be a strong one,
and "The Transgressor" will undoubtedly
make a great hit.
"A Child of the Slums."
Beginning with the matinee tomorrow,

DIRECTORS IN SQUABBLE
Differ Over Dividend Declared by
East Side Bank.
Differences of opinion that have
arisen in the management of the East
Side Bank will lead to the selection
of a new board of directors at the an
nual meeting of stockholders that will
be held today. H. H. Newhall, presi
dent of the bank and owner of a ma
jority of the stock, has had a rupture
with W. J. Lyons, the secretary and
cashier, and J. A. Lyons, assistant
cashier. As these three comprise the
directorate and have griven the Lyons
control of the bank's policy, Mr. New
hall declared last night that he would
today select a different board, retain
ing the control himself.
One of the chief causes of the con
troversy, according to those interested,
is the declaring of a dividend of $4500,
which was voted by the Lyons brothers
and opposed by Mr. Newhall. Dan J.
Malarkey, representing the Lyons
brothers, declares that this dividend
was made necessary in order to pro
tect the interests of his clients, while
Mr. Newhall protests that the dividend
is inadvisable at this time, and that
he will Institute suit In court to pre
vent it from being paid. In the mean
time he has discharged W. J. Lyons,
although the latter was still working
yesterday.
A dividend of $5000 was voted at a
directors' meeting Thursday, . but wa
reduced to $4500 at an adjourned ses
sion of the same meeting yesterday.
The meeting Thursday was rather
stormy and after it adjourned Attorney
Malarkey and President Newhall had a
tussle witn me minute book, in which
the lawyer was victorious. '
"I regret that this Incident has been
exaggerated in the papers," said Mr.
Malarkey yesterday. "No blows were
struck, as was reported, and it really
was a trivial affair. I represented
the secretary and took the book to the
meeting. It properly belonged in cus
tody of the secretary, so I took it away
with me when the meeting adjourned.
although Mr. Newhall tried to take it
out of my hands. Mr. NewhaLTs son
followed me a short distance, but there
was no further trouble.
"The entire trouble was due to a

mistake on my part in giving control
of the directorate to the Lyons broth
ers, when I owned most of the stock,"
said Mr. Newhall. "I have high regard
for both of them, but we differed In
policy somewhat, and I resented their
action in declaring a dividend against
my wishes. It may all blow over and
both of the Lyons remain in the bank.
I shall, however, keep control of tho
board and shall bring suit to stop pay
ment of a dividend at tnls time."
The Hast Side bank, although not
large, is recognized as' a perfectly
sound institution and the disagreement
among the directors will not affect its
standing In the least.
MR. AITCHISON'S PLACE
How He Came to Be Named for State
Railroad Commissioner.
PORTLAND, Jan. 3. (To the Editor.)
Tn The Oregon Ian Thursday It Is Intimated
that the appointment of Clyde B. Aitchlson
as one of the Railroad Commissioners, of
this etate came through the recommenda
tion of J. Thorburn Ross. In this you are
mistaken, and we know you will correct
the erroi..
As a matter of fact this appointment was
made at the request of those largely inter
ested In transportation In this state. The
work of Mr. Altchlson as secretary of the
late State Tax Commission had received the
highest commendation. He had also given
a great deal of thought and study in the
oreparatlon of the Railway Commission
law and other matters In connection with
railroad legislation.
George A. Steel, having the appointment
of one member of the board, desired to
appoint some one from Multnomah County,
and we were so advised. A number of per
sons were befng favorably considered in
connection with this recommendation, but
in consequence of other appointments which
were to be made it became necessary to
recommend an attorney for this appoint
ment. Accordingly, having full confidence
both in Mr. AHchison's ability, industry
and Integrity, he was recommended for the
place to Mr. Steel who promptly appoint
ed him, and we have every reason to be
lieve that Mr. Rosa nor any one else other
than as above stated had anything to do
with the appointment.
We may add that In connection with Mr.'
AHchison's work as commissioner he has
thus far proven competent and has amply
justified our recommendation.

TRAPS FOR PEDESTRIANS
Who Is Responsible If Accidents
Happen?
PORTLAND, Jan. 3. (To the Editor.)
In passing down Alder street today
I aw a lady fall by slipping on an
incline. I am informed that several
accidents of the same kind have oc
curred at the same place and In the
same manner; by the merest good luck,
so far, as I am informed, none of these
have resulted seriously as yet. I wish
to learn by what authority such dan
gerous traps to pedestrians are main
tained. Who jiwns the sidewalks
for whose use "are they set aside and
maintained? Are these deadfalls
authorized by ordinance? Who, If any
one, Is liable for damages sustained by
a fall at such places? There are a
number of these places In the central
business parts of the city. An answer
to some or all of the above In your
columns will be appreciated by an old
pedestrian.

A million boxes a month.
That's the sale of Cascarets.
And every tablet in every box means a day of good cheer.
Think what a world of happiness this candy laxative has
brought to men and women. ,
Are you getting your share?
Cascarets cure bowel troubles when they have developed.
But that is the least of their uses.
Their best service is to prevent the many ills that come from
inactive bowels.
Think of the days when you are not at your best The morn

the evenings when you are irritable. .
The cause lies in the bowels.
One Cascaret makes everything different. Don t say, "I'll
take it tonight" Take it at once. Carry a box in your pocket
The hours before bedtime are too good to be wasted.
Cascarets are gentle and pleasant. Their action is as natural

Cascarets are candy tablets. They are sold by all druggists,
but never in bulk. Be sure you get the genuine, with CCC on
