MAKESHIFT DEPOT USED f-hat Oat of I'ninn I?pot, New II ill Line Is Anxious to Get )n With Other Roads Three Men to Decide. Arbitration has been finally selected as the final mrans of settling Port land's terminal troubles. Whether the North Bank road shall be. admitted to the I'nion Depot to handle Its passen ger business may be derided In this way. The preliminary steps looking toward such a solution of the terminal tow were taken yesterday morninjr at the regular meeting of the Northern Pacific Terminal Company directors. The meeting was hold in the Termi nal Company's rooms in the Union De pot. President Dolph was In the chair and application was made, through re presentatives of the Hill interests, on the directorate of the Terminal Com pany for the arbitration of the present difficulties that bar the North Bank line from the use of the Union Depot for passenger business. JosepM Simon, attorney for the Harrl man interests In the terminal troubles. J P. O'Brien, general manager of the Harrlman interests in the Pacific Northwest, and W. C. Nutt. general manager of the Western division of the Northern Pacific Railway. were named on this rommltteee. The cum mltteee will deliberate on the arbi tration idea and will report at the next meeting of the directors of the Termi nal Company, which will be on the first Tuesday in January. ' The proposal for arbitration came from the Hill Interests and It is hoped by them to settle the long-continued terminal dispute in this way. Ncgo tlatlons have been kept up for over a year, looking toward the use of the local passenger facilities by. the new Hill line, but without success. It was hoped to have effected an amicable ar rangement by the time the new road was ready for operation so that the first trains to run over the Spokane. Portland & Seattle Railway could en ter the Union Depot. This was found to be Impossible, an 1 one of the freight houses built by the North Bank road at Eleventh and Hoyt streets was fixed up for use as a temporary passenger station. No permanent arrangements were made for handling passenger busi ness and no steps wire taken for build ing a separate Hill passenger depot, "The contract made by the different rai'roads when the terminal company was formed In 1M2. contemplated the settlement of differences by arbitra tion." said H. C. Nutt yesterday. In fact the common use of the terminals by ail railroads entering Portland was understood when the streets were va cated bv the city. If the application for arbitration is allowed, our company wtll choose one representative. the Harrlman people will select another, and these two will name a third. These three men will decide the case." WILL MUFF OLD FERB OKTiIERX PACIFIC TO SELL HISTORIC CRAFT. Vessel Taconia Vsed In Carrying Trains Across Columbia at Gobi May Be Sold. After 23 vears' service, plying across the Columbia River between Goble and Kalama. the Northern Pacific ferry Ta coma will be taken off the' run within tlie next two or three weeks. The fu ture of the famous old boat that has done audi good sen-ice since the building of the Northern Pacific to Portland, al most a quarter of a century ago. Is some what in doubt. The craft is still in good condition, it is said, and fit for service for many years yet. It is rumored that the St. Paul is ne gotiating for the purchase of the ferry and mav use it on the Columbia River, but it Is thought to be more likely that the craft may be towed to Puget Sound for use by the new line in crossing some arm of that great inland sea. The Tacoma has never been out of com mission since it was put on the run when the Northern Pacific was completed. 23 years ago. ' This Is a remarkable record, it has never been in a collision or wreck, and tliere has never been an accident on board that cost the life of any one of he hundreds of thousands of passengers that have crossed the Columbia on the train ferry. How many thousands of nlles the ferry has traveled during its oervice on the Columbia River, it would b hard to say. During the heavy freight movement, when practically every freight car owned bv the railroads of the country was work ing full time, the Tacoma was allowed hardly an hour of rest. It was kept con stantly at work crossing and recrossing the river to care for the very heavy traffic movement. Even in less busy times the ferry was hard at work taking- passenger and freight trains acrosB the river at all hours of the day and nleht in all sorts of weather. Prob ably few people live in Portland today who have not made the trip acrosa on this ferry at some time or other since their residence here. Men long in the railroad service In .Portland recall the only accident worthy of note to befall on board the Tacoma. It is a rule of the operat ing department of all railroads that as long :s a locomotive Is "alive" that Is. has steam up either the engineer or fireman must stay In the cab. In crossing the river years ago a freight train was, being taken across and the engineer and fireman both went Into the lunch room on the ferry to get coffee and cioughnuts. While the en gine was left alone rteam leaked Into the cylinders, started It up. and U went off the end of the boat Into the river. When the engine crew came back from lunch their eyes grew as big as the doughnuts they had Just eaten, for "there was no engine in sight. The engine crew was promptly discharged. The engine was later raised, little the worse for Its plunge to the bottom of the river. LET THE CITY DO IT ALL Correspondent Would Go Into Mu nicipal Ownership Wholesale. PORTLAND. Nov. SO. (To the Editor. An editorial In The Oresonian today In reference, to incrrasin the municipal In debtedness by the construction of bridges, p'.pe line, liirhttng systems, etc.. would Indicate that th editor Is not In favor of municipal ownership, except to very lim ited extent. Is there any logical reason why. I municipal ownership is successful tor sewers and waterworks, it should not prove a success In the case of lighting plant? Furthermore, do you think the Portland power monopoly Is In business for the good of the city alone? If you will go Into the matter carefully the writer believes vou will concede that the Portland tlenera. is making a very fair pront on the city con tract even at the $.". per month rate. a ;ooo.ranU;r.wer arc light requires l", 5IMI watts or O.ttT horsepower at the unt. and assuming a 10 per cent loss In trai -mlsslon. which is ample, it would require 074.-. horsepower at the I. t. side of trans former for each light. For this we pay a month or .'.0 a year, which Is at the rate of $sn.:.0 per horsepower year, or l...tc per kilo-watt hour. As It Is evident that this power Is not used more than "ne-half th time, or ia hour, a day for ''"''""" povrer monopoly Is able to sell the same power to small consumers during, at least 12 hours of the day. Their rate for manu facturing purpose. Is from IV cent, to T cent, per kllo-watt hour, and the- average rate Is probably not le.s than 4 cents per kllo-watt hour. . , I am Informed that the Portland General Electric Company delivers power at a 7 per cent load factor, which means that 7s per cent of the power developed is used. However, assuming that the load factor la but .10 per cent, which would be equivalent to an average of 2 cents per kllo-watt hour for power used during the day. then on a loo per cent load factor baaia, this company 1. getting l.lNt cents from the city and 2 tent, from private consumers, or a total of .1 S:l cents per kllo-watt hour, which equal. $211 per horsepower year. These figures are conservative. While the writer doe. not know what the power plant, of the General Electric Com-, pany ro.t, or what the fixed charge, thereon amount to. he does know of a number of plants of thl. description, where power can he sold at a proflt for 20 per horsepower year. The only hydro-electric plant owned by a municipality, that the writer can re call. Is supplying power to the progressive rltv of Seattle for less than .6 cent per kilo-watt hour, or about per horse power year. Recently. I understand, they have offered power for manufacturing- pur poses, for .0 cent. The City of Tacoma, which own. Its distributing system. I. now purchasing power of the Puget Sound Power Company for cents per kllo-watt hour, and even after paying this high rata they sell It at a proflt for 3 cents, It Is a significant fact that Tacoma will vote on a J-j.tmn.onn bond issue on December Hil. for the construction of a municipal plant, by which, after paying all annual charges, thdk- will be able to produce power for the .mall sum of .4 cent per kllo-watt hour. , In view of these facts the -writer wishes to disagree most decidedly with the state ment that, aside from water supply, munici pal ownership Is Impracticable, as It would It difficult to conceive of a municipal plant so extravagantly managed as to make the cost of power greater than this city Is now paying. J. H. tTXXlNGHAM. WILL SEND UAIir APPLES PORTLAND TO SHIP FRUIT TO ' WASHINGTON, 1. C. ' Will Be Purchased in New York From Consignments Sent For ward From Reaver State. Trustees of the Portland Chamber of Commerce held a regular meeting yes terday morning In the rooms of the or ganization on the second floor of the Chamber of Commerce building, and tran sacted a mass of important business. Not the least important was to arrange for sending a large shipment of Oregon' ap ples to the Rivers & Harbors Congress, which will meet in Washington, Decem ber 9. The fruit will be distributed to the delegates In attendance and it is thought will make a big hit. The apples will be purchased In New York by the Chamber of Commerce from consign ments of Oregon fruit already sent for ward. Secretary Giltner was instructed to arrange for the shipment and he. is confident that the move will do a great deal to advertise Oregon fruit. Trustees at yesterday's meeting took up the consideration of a fire insurance bill to be presented at the coming session of the Legislature. The bill that failed of passage at the last session will be prac tically the measure to be recommended. It is thought, by the Chamber of Com merce. The principal feature of this is the withdrawal of the deposit feature. The old committee on the subject, made tip of Philip Buehner, J. C. Flanders, Kverett Ames, I. N. Fleischner and Jay Smith, was asked to serve again in help ing formulate the tjjll. A nominating committee to nominate officers for the coming year was chosen as follows: S. G. Reed, ciiasrman: R. R. Hogue and W. D. Wheelwright. This committee will post, names of candidates for president, secretary and seven trus tees not later than January 3. These nom inations are usually equivalent to elec tion and the officers selected by the com mittee will serve for the coming year. The "Chamber of Commerce was advised that the Oregon-Idaho Development Con gress will meet in Vale. Or.. December 17. IS and 19. and Portland is asked to send 15 delegates. The congress has for its purpose the development of Interior Oregon and Idaho. The hotels at Vale have made arrangements to house 409 guests during the time the congress Is in session. The trustees passed a resolution indors ing the National Apple Show, to be held at Spokane from December 7 to 12. taking this action at the request of the Spokane Chamber of Commerce. Resolutions were also adopted urging C"ongre.4J to appro priate money for the development of the roads of Alaska. Seven new members of the organization were elected at yesterday's meeting and other routine business was transacted. DISCUSS SALE OF LIQUOR Men's Club of White Temple to Take Vp Mooted Question.

Smith Asserts Pres ent Supply Is Impure. COTTEL ORDINANCE IS UP City and County Medical Society Irges Need or Dairy Inspection and Closer Regulations Around Dealers. There is not one dairy selling milk In Portland the product of which should be recommended for baby food by a physician, according to Dr. Alan Welch Smith, chairman of a special commit teeof the City and County Medical So ciety, which appeared before the City Board of Health and a City Council committee yesterday morning. Dr. Smith said that not a day passes but some mother asks him to recommend a dairy where milk for baby consump tion can be secured. He declared he knows of no such place in Portland, "much to my shame and regret." The Cottel ordinance was referred to the board, and will be re-drafted or amended by the members for presen tation to the Council. A general attack on the quality of milk sold in Portland was made by Drs. Smith and Cottel and George M. Brown, president of the Hazelwood Cream Company, and although there were two dairymen present, they did not reply. Uus C. Moser, representing the dairymen, made no defense as to the quality of milk. but protested against certain provisions in the Cot tel ordinance, saying they would work a hardship on the producers of milk and wouid in no way benefit the pub lic. Dr. A. J. Giesy. who occupied the chair, wns the only one who lifted up his voice in defense of the milk dealers, and he simply said that his own dairyman had been furnishing him for nine years with milk which was absolutely pure. "Dr. Smith expressed intense regret at the deplorable conditions he said prevail in Portland with regard to milk, and said that he was present to say that the City and County Medical Society favors the passage of the Cot tel ordinance, and that it is considered absolutely necessary that something be done at once If the city expects to be able to fight off the .bacteria with. which Portland milk is now laden. He felt greatly distressed because a city the size of this should be without a single dairy that sells pure milk. Mr. Brown was called upon for a statement by Dr. Cottel, and expressed himself as dissatisfied with the pres ent state of the milk supply. He said that his company once tried to retail milk here, but was obliged to cease because it 'could not get good milk. A section in the Cottel ordinance calls for the condemnation of milk that is over 60 degrees in temperature, and this Is one Item In the proposed meas ure which is severely criticised by the dairymen. Mr. . Brown declared that milk should never be allowed to go higher than 60 degrees, as it will not keep well if it does. It should be cooled at the dairies, he said, and kept cool until sold. He said the greatest need at present is for thorough in spection of the dairies. He thought three inspectors could handle the en tire field very well. Mr. Moser. speaking for the dairy men, said they do not oppose any kind of Inspection that . will bring about cleaner conditions and produce purer milk, but they do object to some of the stringent provisions of the Cottel ordinance, which would work a hard ship upon them and result in no good to the people. It was generally agreed that if' the city compels the dairymen to abide by the terms of a strict pure-milk ordi nance the price of milk will be in creased considerably.- Dr. Smith, on this matter, said that people will be perfectly willing to pay more for good milk if they can obtain it. NEARLY ASTAMPEDE. Sunday a constant stream of auto mobiles ran from the Columbia Trust Company's office at the Couch build ing to Swinton. on the peninsula, to see the lots that are selling at a rec ord pace.

K Taylor, the Mayor of Ala meda, Says: When, against the advice of most of our rlty officials and many residents, I lerormnended the construction of a concrete roadway across the Webster street marsh, many of our-good citizens were of the opinion that it was a fool ish experiment. My recommendation was based on my own observation and reports which I had received from the mayors and superintendents of streets of several Kastern cities. Against considerable opposition the City Council adoptf d the concrete pave ment. The proposition of piling and capping:, which had been urged, would have cost the city $75,000. The cost of the concrtte was only slightly more than the cost of macadam. The wisdom displayed by the Coun ' cil and Mayor in this most important undertaking has been demonstrated by the fact that a twenty-foot roadway over a marsh has sustained the travel, amounting frequently to 4003 teams a day. for almost a year without show ing appreciable wear on the road, and without the necessity of repairs, or even water to lay the dust.

Naval Stations Unable to Get Mes sages Through When Other Com panies Are Sending. According to the belief of B. F. Beals, district forecaster of the Weather Bureau, there will soon be needed some sort of regulation for the proper handling of the wireless telegraph business of this Coast. Mr. Beals returned yesterday from a- trip to North Head, where he was in con ference with the naval employes having the wireless service in charge. While Mr. Beals made no criticism of the man ner in which the service is conducted, he learned that much interference with the reports sent from and received at the station is caused by operation- of com mercial lines with stations along the coast. Beside the Government stations, extend ing from southern California to Alaska, all under direction of a naval officer at Mare Island, there are in addition two commercial companies and a service maintained by the Canadian govern ment. Some of these are of less "power" than the naval service apparatus, but in cases where the commercial companies send messages from one of their stations to another at no great distance, there is interference with Government messages being sent at the same time over long distances. Just how this trouble is to be avoided has not been figured out as yet. , One difficulty has been removed in the case of Japanese vessels arriving on this Coast. The wireless service on these vessels is controlled by the Government, and when complaint was made that Japa nese vessels continually sent loose, un important messages, which were picked up at different stations of the Coast, an order was issued that put a stop to this experimenting. During the times when the Japs were sending all sorts of foolish messages to try out their equipment, the stations along the Coast had great diffi culty in picking up each other. OAK-STREET DOCK IS LEASED Open River Transportation Com pany Secures Entire Property. Lease was made yesterday by the Open River Transportation Company for use of the entire Oak-street dock by that com pany. At the same time the schedule was changed one hour in leaving lime of the boats of the company, from 6 A. M. to 7 o'clock. This change was made to suit the convenience of passengers for the Upper Columbia transportation business that is reported to be increasing rapidly. The company Is preparing to handle a much larger amount of grain and general freight and in anticipation of this increase It has been deemed advisable to secure more dock facilities.
