The total receipts of Saturday's foot-
bail game between I", of O. and O. A.
C. were ofilclally announced yeater
day as M05. which Is the largest
amount of money ever paid In at a
football game in the Pacific Northwest.
The publication of the receipts demon
strates that Portland is the best pay
ing football center in the Northwest,
and further, it is an unassailable argu
ment In favor of the playlnK of the
nnnual Oregon-O. A. C. game In
Portland.
Each team receives $3364.15, out of
which they will be required to pay
hotel bills In Portland. At that each
Institution has cleared at least $3000,
which means that they will be all the
more favorable to playing the game in
Portland each year. Had Saturday
been a good day. the receipts would
have been $10,000 easy, and already
the promoters of the Thanksgiving day
game between the Multnomah Amateur
Athletic Club and the University of
Orecon are an tlclpatlnir such a crowd
The I'niversitv of Oregon, victors In
Saturday's game, and the Oregon Agri
cultural College Miuad. the opposing
team Saturday, left the city yesterday
and will rest up and train for the holi
day arames next Thursday.
The 1'nlversity t Oregon team went
to S.'Hsifie. where they will enjoy the
inlt air and practice on the beach until
Wednesday, when they will return to
Portland for the Thanksgiving day
CHme. The Orea-on Agricultural Col
lege team loft yesterday mornlnfr for
Slrvenson, Wash., where the AkkIcs
will train for the big game at Seattle
next Thursday.
Manager Pratt and Captain Stott will
continue strenuous practice of the
Multnomah Club eleven during the next
three days, for the clubmen are anxi
ous to defeat Oregon this year, and
thereby wipe out the defeat sustained
lant year. Moat of the Multnomah
players witnessed Saturday's game.
nnd. after having seen the State L nl
versity snuad In action, are ready to
admit that they have a hard game
ahead and are pra-tlcing hard to over
come whatever advantage Oregon may
have In speed and up-to-date football.
The clubmen are anxious co wipe out
last year's dfeat, and hope to over
whelm the varsity team by weight
and strength.
Captain Stott and his men entertain
hopes of going through the present
season with a clean record, and expect
to defeat Oregon next Thursday, and
also to take the measure .of the Ore
gon Agricultural College on Decern
ber 5.
Coach Forbes and the Oregon boys
are now at Seaside and are enjoying
the ocean breeses while practicing on
the seashore. Their success against
t. A. C. Saturday has imbued them
with renewed confidence, and their ef
forts against Multnomah will be much
stronger than against their recent
rivals. Captain Moullen. Fullback
Clark and the other Oregon stars have
always been depended upon to work
their hardest against Multnomah,
while the Multnomah players, some of
whom are former O. A. C. men. will
try their best to defeat Oregon In re
venge for last Saturday's defeat ad
ministered to their alma mater. Th
former O. A. C. students on the Mult
mimah team are Dow Walker, Bert
Filkington and Forrest Smithson, and
these three players will be In the game
with the sole Idea of reversing Ore
gon's record of lasl year.
PLAY T.VCOMA HIGH SCHOOL
West Side Toam Will Leave for
Sound Today.
The Portland High School foot
ball team will leave here Wednesday
for Tacoma. where the boys are sched
uled to play the Tacoma High School
team on Thanksgiving morning. Ta
coma recently defeated the Broadway
High School of Seattle, which eleven
lost to the Lincoln High School of Seat
tle Saturday by the score of 2 to 0. On
that account, the Tacoma team expects
to claim the Pacific Northwest cham
pionship by defeating the Portland
boys. Coach Jordan and Captain Smith,
of the West Side High, believe that tha
Portland team is tile stronger of the
t wo.
The West Side team will take 14
players to Tacoma. and the regulars
who have played during the necent ln
terscnolastlc season will be found in
the line-up when the team faces Ta

It mar h said tn passing that th
description in th Or gon Constitution is
ldn hrewtt h
To those who da not feed with ths gods
and are not glftd with omniscienre it may
be foolishly aked by what count of reason
ing th learned court construed "the middle
channel of said river" Into 'the center of
the north channel
.To the lay mind, or to a civil engineer,
the mention of the "middle of the mouth of
the north ship channel" means a point of
departure from which to locate "a point -in
the Pacific Ocean on martne league due
west." which latter point Is the southwest
corner of the State of Washington, and the
northwest corner of the State of Oregon;
and from that corner, to run a boundary
line "to and up the middle channel of said
river."
From this It Is plain that the real boun
dary line does not touch the north channel
at any point, but that it was specifically
projected from "a point In the Pacitic
Ocean ... to and up the middle chan
nel of said river."
The real question, therefore, is this:
Where was "the middle channel" at the
time the boundary was declared, and is the
present so-called Sard Is'.and north or south
of that 'middle channel?
The court said "there was at that time-
two channels . . ." Our historical knowl
edge seems to account for three channels
the north, the middle and the south. Thera
could bo no middle channel in a series of
two.
Correctly speaking. "Sand Islana" wii not
an island, but a moving sand bar that be
came detached from Clatsop Spit through a
shifting of the south channel, and was situ
ated between the south and middle chan
nels. It was continuously moved to the
north in the direction of the predominating
force from the sea. It then passed through
the middle channel, encountered the nortn
channel, and passed through that, bringing
up upon the sands of Bakers Bay; and there
is no channel between the present so-called
Sand Island and the Washington shore. It
Is true that boats drawing six or seven feet
navigate there at high tide, but at low tide
not even nhing boats can traverse It.
Tour editorial of the ISth. entitled "The
Boundary Decision." is as much mixed in
some of Its questions of fact as is the logic
of the "middle channel" being the "middle
of the north channel."
There were practically no fish traps In
Bakers Bay prior to 1SM and but few prior
to 1J4. but the north channel had already
ceased to be a ship channel north of Sand
Island and had shifted to its south side.
Had no Jetty been built you would now
have a regenerated "?antl Island" in what
Is at present called the "Jetty Sands." and
which would be situated between the souto
and middle channels and aeain on its trav
els across the river, to Impinge upon the
present so-called "Sand Island" on the north
shore.

MIS FPU HEW ROAQ
EAST SIDE CLUB WANTS MOOT
HOOD LIXE COMPLETED.
Committee Is Appointed to Confer
With Company on Resumption
of Construction Work.
C A. Blpelow. president of the Bast
Side Business Men's Club, In a short talk
at the meeting Thursday nisht. said the
early resumption of work on the Mount
Hood road Is of Kreat Importance to Port
land and to the East Side. He said that
farmers and others were making daily
Inquiries as to what had become of the
project, after so much money had been
expended on the enterprise, it was an
nounced that the Mount Hood Company
had expended over ItWO.iiOO so far In start-
In construction, purchasing property in
Portland and on the route and In making
surveys.
Construction of this railroad to Mount
Hood." declared Mr. Bigelow, "ought to
be resumed, and I am in favor of the
Business Men's Club conferring with rep
resentatives of the Mount Hood Railroad
Company and offering whatever service
It can extend In getting the enterprise
under way again. Every day farmers
are asking me about the company and
whv work does not go forward. Tills
road will pass through a rich section of
country, will be a great scenic line, ar.d
draw tourists from all portions of the
country. Such an enterprise ought to
have no difficulty In securing money to
carry on the work of construction. In
Portland I believe several nundrea thou
sand dollars of the stock would be taken
If It were shown that the men back of It
mean business."
In accordance with the suggestion of
President Bigelow, a committee was ap
pointed to call on the representatives of
the company and ascertain the cause of
the suspension of operations and find out
If the East Side Business Men's Club can
render any service in gettinV the enter
prise under way again. Councilman Kella
her said that If the Mount Hood Railway
Company will bring in power It will be
welcome, as cheap power Is one of Port
land's needs. He said he had Information
that led him to believe that work might
be resumed on the project in the near
future.

IX BY CORVALLIS STIDEXTS, HEADED BY SCHOOL BAND, ATTRACTED MICH ATTENTION BEFORE
PLAN NEW CHARTER
East Side Citizens to Advise
Official Board.
HAVE MUCH TO SUGGEST
Members- of Affiliated Clubs May
Ask City to Buy and Operate
Koek Crusher and Provide for
Municipal Lighting Plant.
After tile Charter Commission had been
appointed to revise the city charter, the
United East Side Push Club elected a
charter advisory committee, with the fol
lowing members: L E. Rice, chairman;
Philip S. Bates, Dr. H. M. Green, C. I
Daggett. Judge M. G. Munly, Dr. William
DeVeny, W. L. Boise, H. H. Newhall,
Frank J. Perkins, Rev. Father Gregory
and J. H. Haak. The purpose was to
discuss and prepare amendments desired
by East Side residents. This advisory
committee will take up itfl work tomor
row night at the clubrooms in the Sar
gent Hotel, Grand and Hawthorne ave
nues, in accordance with the call issued
by the chairman.
Judge Munly was the originator of the
resolution appointing the advisory com
mittee, but at the time it was adopted it
was not expected that the Charter Com
mission would undertake as complete a
revision of the charter as has been made,
and the committee haa postponed taking
action until the commission should decide
on plans. This having been done, the
advisory committee now invites all the
push clubs and other citizens to submit
for consideration provisions which they
would like to see incorporated In the new
charter. Chairman Rice announces op
portunity for full discussion will be given
in open committee meetings, which are
to be held from now on.
Projects That Are Suggested!
Among the provisions that have already
been submitted for consideration are the
following: Providing a municipal rock
crushing plant by which the city may
either furnish crushed rock for street
Improvements or undertake improvement
of streets on Its account; making It pos
sible for the city to own and operate Its
own lighting plant: placing parked
streets in the charge of the Park Board;
providing for Improvement of streets by
districts, and requiring SO per cent of
the property-owners to remonstrate In
order to defeat the Improvement; amend
ing present method of paying for water
mains.
For more than two years the rock
crusher question has been np for consid
eration at all the push clubs and they
have all indorsed such provision. Many
street improvements have been held up
for want of crushed rock. Conditions in
Multnomah Addition in Albina, where be
tween 10 and 12 miles of street work was
projected two years ago, serve to illus
trate the shortage of paving material.
Besides. It has been urged that the cost
of crushed rock is too high In Portland.
J. H. Nolta and Dr. L. m. Davis have
been the principal advocates of munici
pal ownership of a rock-crushing plant
and have given much time to the matter.
Councilman Kellaher has also fathered
a movement to have the city own a rock
crusher. H. G. Parsons advocated before
the United Bast Side Push Clubs a pro
vision In the new charter to empower the
city not only to crush rock but to Im
prove streets if necessary. In urging this
measure, Mr. Parsons said that the city
ought to have this authority for its pro
tection against exorbitant demands of
contractors who control the output of
crushed rock.
Would Work With County.
Councilman Wills advocates a Joint ar
rangement between the county and city
by which the county would crush rock
for the city at the Kelly Butte Dlant and
deliver it by means of an electric spur
to hunkers placed at convenient points.
From the Interest displayed in this mat
ter It Is evident that municipal ownership
of a rock-crushing and street-improving
plant will be thoroughly considered by
tlie advisory committee.
The municipal ownership of a lighting
plant will also receive much considera
tion, not that the city shall necessarily
erect and operate such a plant, but will
be in position to do so If necessary. There
Is opposition to the scheme by those who
think that the city should buy electric
power but own the distribution system.
These are some of the more Important
measures to be discussed by the advis
ory committee, but there will be others.
When any proposition has been indorsed
It -will he drafted and submitted to the
commission. Chairman Rice urges that
all members of the committee be present

at the meeting next Tuesday, and all
others interested will b welcome.
"Members of the commission have as
sured me," said Mr. Rice, "that our com
mittee can be helpful in the framing of
the charter, and that our work will be
welcome to the commission."
USE OF HOME RESOURCES
Good Work of Promotion Committee,
Portland Commercial Club.
PORTLAND. Nov. 21. (To the Editor.)
The promotion committee of the Port
land Commercial Club seeks to arouse
an interest on the part of local com
munities throughout the Pacific North
west in the undeveloped resources of
that section In which they live, usually
by a direct appeal to and co-operation of
the residents.
Some days since it was the privilege
of the writer, while enjoying a week's
much needed rest at White Salmon,
Wash., to attend a "rally" at the town
hall. Already by notice In the local
newspaper, by poster and by word of
mouth carried to every corner of the
valley, there assembled on that after
noon some 400 residents of the village
and valley earnest, industrious men and
women each anxious to take up with
enthusiasm that work which would
spread abroad the resources of their sec
tion. There was speaking. Nothing of elo
quent oratory, but simple, direct truths,
quietly told, covering fully the wonder
ful possibilities of soil and climate and
the resources of this beautiful valley. Phy
sician, minister, fruitgrower, old settler
and newcomer from the Far East, each
took part in an exposition of intense in
terest, even to a casual visitor breathing,
as it did, an awakening spirit of prog
ress. The promotion committee, includ-

than 20 minutes this little community
voluntarily subscribed over $2000 to pros

and this with the greatest enthusiasm
and hearty good will.
This brief recital but feebly indicates
the valuable and lasting work carried
on by our promotion committee of the
Portland Commercial Club, a labor but
little appreciated or understood by the
average citizen of Portland. This com
mittee may well be defined as an expert
missionary body exploiting throughout
the Pacific Northwest in city, village
and country the doctrine of self-help and
the development of home resources, to
whom should be given all possible support
and encouragement.

amounted to 2.63 Inches. The greatest
amount fell during the twenty
four hours between 5 o'clock Saturday
and the same hour yesterday. Official
records of the Weather Bureau give .79
as the amount for that period. The
greater portion fell between 6 o'clock Sat
urday afternoon and midnight. During
the latter part of the night and all day
Sunday there was hardly a trace of rain.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon rain began
falling, but not in sufficient quantities to
materially affect the readings.
Since September 1 the total rainfall at
Portland amounts to 8.26 inches. This is
a shortage of 1.58 inches, the normal pre
cipitation for the time being 9.84 inches.
On November 1 there was an excess of
.16 Inch. The larger portion. of the rain
fell In October, which was one of the
wettest months in the history of the
state. September records show only .12
per cent of the normal precipitation. Oc
tober came to the front, however, with a
downpour which totaled 6.17 Inches.
The Willamette River at Portland has
reached a stage of 6.4 feet above zero.
This is a rise of nearly three feet during
the 24 hours ending at 5 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. The rise was greatest at
Portland and Albany, and at Eugene
showed a falling off. At 8 o'clock yester
day morning the gauges at points above
Oregon City showed the rise for 24 hours

Member of Legislative Committee
Discusses Bill That May Be
Enacted at Xsxt Session.
Benton Bowers, of Ashland, Or., mem
ber of the state legislative committee
on good roads, appointed at the last
meeting of the Oregon Good Roads As
sociation, was in Portland yesterday.
Mr. Bowers is deepiy interested in the
movement for better highways and has
devoted considerable study to the sub
ject. He was the originator of the
plan which is to be embodied In a bill
to be presented to the coming Legis
lature recommending that the state
constitution be amended in order to
enable counties to issue bonds for
highway improvement. This scheme,
Mr. Bowers considers, is the most eco
nomical and practical of all measures
suggested for the accomplishment of
thin work. Said Mr. Bowers:
'In other states the banking system
has proven a complete success, and the
taxpayers are well satisfied with it and
would bond for more if necessary.
When the plan was first considered In
California it was vigorously opposed,
but now the same people are giving it
their earnest support. I became im
pressed with the value of this plan
when I visited California.
The objection to the taxing system
lies in the fact that it puts the whole
burden on the present taxpayers to
build something for the future. By the
bonding system thu present generation
pays its proportion and the future gen
eration its proportion. Therefore it
equalizes matters in a way that can
not be done by levying a tax.
"The campaign for better highways
is progressing in spite of the opposi
tion of people wedded to primitive
methods. The rapid settlement of the
state and the increasing development
of its resources make it necessary that
better roads be provided. The needs
of many counties in the state in this
regard 'are becoming more and more
urgent. In Jackson County" are large
sections of country where the roads
for much of the Winter are In such
condition that traffic cannot be car
ried on, with consequent loss to the
community. The same state of affairs
exists in Douglas, Josephine and other
counties."
SPORTSMEN GET BIG BAGS
Duck Hunters Easily Secure Limit
on Duck Preserves.
Limit bags of ducks were killed yester
day by sportsmen who spent the day in
the blinds at the various shooting places
along the Columbia. On the home-coming
trains and boats, hunters and dogs were
tired and loaded down with big mallards,
widgeon, teal and sprigs and if there was
one duck brought into Portland last night,
there must have been fully 1500. Prac
tically all of the duck clubs have enjoyed
fine, shooting ever since the season
opened, but the rain of the past week
and the storm of Saturday have driven
thousands of birds inland.
Judging from the number of birds that
were brought home last night, yesterday
must have been the beat day of the sea
son thus far. Most of the duck straps
contained big mallards and the flight
must have been out of the ordinary, for
ASirSEMXTiTS.

it seemed as if every man who alighted
from -the 4:15 train had the limit, 50 birds,
slung over his shoulder. The up-river
boats that bring in many of the sports
men arriving later in the evening, bore
more evidence of the big killing that was
made. The train which arrives at 10
o'clock brought in the . shooters from
farther down the Columbia River and
their strings told the same story.
