ANOTHER TO DECIDE
North Bank Will Arbitrate Ter
minal Troubles.
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.

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

COTTEL ORDINANCE IS UP
City and County Medical Society
Irges Need or Dairy Inspection

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.

HASSAM WEARS WEIL
E. 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.

INTERFERES WITH SERVICE
TOO MAXV WIRELESS COMPA
NIES SFOIIS EFFECTIVENESS.
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.

MISTAKE
And How These Are Re

Methods of an Expert
Specialist
Doctors make more mistakes than are made
in any other profession. I believe I am quali
, fled to make a definite statf-mcnt In this regard,
as fullv half my work as a Specialist consists
of correcting the . mistakes of other doctors.
The reason for so many mistakes is easily made
plain to any person who will stop to consider
the tremendous task assumed by the regular
physician. In attempting too much he ac
complishes far too little. The greatest mis
take of the doctor is the presumption that no
can understand the whole human machine, and
whan an,. nrt rr.W.Q wronc That IS
where the guessing begins. And he expects The Lending Specialist
ohv for every guess. .
Let a man with a chronic disorder go to 10 lifferent doctors, and
he is more likelv to get 10 different opinions than five that are alike.
nd If five doctors did agree on a diagnosis, each one would be sure to
ofter a prescription different from the other four. There are some
