BOND ISSUE AUTHORIZED Clerk Directed to Advertise Snle of $50,000 Worth tf Bonds Ketur li able July 1, '09 Heport of Tugboat Servlee Knoineer. At n special maptlns yesterday the Tort of Portland Commliislor! passed a resolution dlrertfnK Chief Engineer J. K. "C. Lockwood to prepare plans for bar tufra. and also one for the appointment of a committee to look into the adapt ability of my tug ofTered for use on the Columbia River bar. v President Swlgert will announce the personiul ot that committee at the next meeting of the Commission. Engineer Lockwood's report, which was presented at the special meeting yesterday, prompted th resolution which was moved by Mr. Adams. The meeting was called to consider the im portant questions of bar and river pilotage, authority over which has been granted to the Port of Portland by the recent decision handed down by the Pupreme Court relative to the powers of the Commission. In his report Engineer Lockwood lee ommends the use of two first-class steel lugs, liO feet long. 26 feet beam' and 3fi feet depth of hold, to be equipped with Scotch marine boilers, triple ex pansion engines and up-to-date towing machines: one steel-tug 120 feet long. 22'4 feet beam and IS feet depth of hold, equipped as the other two. and one steel-hull stern-wheel tug, for service on the river. The latter craft Is to be J 95 feet long. 42 feet beam and 9 feet depth of hold. The stern-wheel vessel Is to be equipped with cross cpmpound engines. Jirebox boilf.rs and surface condensers. The recommendations of Chief Engi neer Lockwood were made after that official had made a careful study of the conditions on the bar and on the Co lumbia Rivpr. Mr. Lockwood mxde a number of trips to Astoria. Puget Sound and Eastern cities, and in each place made a study of tlw methods employed In handling the shipping. He referred particularly to the compulsory pilotage law of Oregon and strongly urged the repeat of the law at the next session of the Legislature. In his report Mr. Lock wood says: Pilotage on Puget Sound. ""Pugei Pound, our principal compet itor, docs not have a compulsory pilot age law and It gives that port a great and unfair advantage in having us han dicapped by a charge of 1100 to $400 on every vessel coming Into this poru It is true that t.he O. R. & N. Co. lias ab sorbed this charge on such vessels as were handled by their towboats. but we should not be forced to do this an possibly pay ont money raised from taxes, for the benefit of bar pilots. The compulsory pilotage law is further un necessary, as we will maintain an ef ficient pilotage service In any event 'or the good of the port." Towage service between Portland and the sea Is different from that In any other port. The rough water on the lip.r and the long river tow require two distinct classes of tugs. At present the bar pilots maintain a schooner and have an arrangement with the O. R. N. Co., whereby t.iey proceed to sea anil re turn at certain times on the tugs. Mr. Lockwood proposes to do away with the schooner and to provide suitable apartments on the fugs .to accommodate the pilots and tn have a boat outside nt all times, in cj of excess business for the river boat, he advises the char tering of outside craft. Members of the Commission carefully considered each part of tiie report and the motion by Mr. Adams resulted. That member th'n movd to order the clerk to advertise for tin; Immediate snle of bonds in the sum of s'iO.000. returnable July 1: 190?. Th recond motion eir ried. The Port of Portland has power to Issue bonds in the sum of $130,010, , and the expense "t providing suitable craft to handle the business, as esti mated by Mr. Lockwood. will be jnr.o.ooo. Question or Ilange. Lights. Considerable discission was Indulged' in regarding the placing of range lights at Double Bower and LaUu's landings. A dolphin was driven by the Port of Portland at the latter place, but no light established, owing to an ob jection tiled bv the pilots. Mr. Lock wood maintained that the lights estab lished and maintained by the Govern ment should murk the center line of the dredged channel. Captain A. 1', Pease argued tht rane lights should so be placed ad to lie visible at point above or below, in order to give the pilot opportunity to tell whether both lights were burning before reaching the tnrnlivg point. It was finally agreed to leave the matter to the Lighthouse Inspector and the pilots. r 11KKF.I.1CT BARGK 1H.OWX VP .handoncd Hulk Destroyed by Force From Vniled Slates F.ngineers.

Lockwood waa issued in the County Court j-esterday by Judge Webster.

JVIM.K LECTIRF.S YOCT1IS Gantenbein Tells "Wild Indians" That Blank Cartridges Are Bad. With a short talk, in" fatherly fashion, upon the killing power of blank cart ridges, to the leaders of the "Chipmunk ' gang and "Sitting Bull" crowd of boys, who have been playing wild Indian in the woods between South aount Tabor and Arleta, Judge Gantenbein discharged all but three of them yesterday. They were brought into the Juvenile Court be cause guns, revolvers and bows and ar rows were used so freely that they be came dangerous and because of the lads' carelessness In erecting two platforms In trees in such unworkmanlike manner that they might at any moment have given was. Judge Gantenbein said he did not object to boys playing Indian, but that no guns nor other weapons must be used. He told of his experience with weapons while in the Army In the Philippines. Blank cartridges, he said, fired at four feet from a board would, imbed the leather wad a quarter of an inch in a board. He told of a sham battle at Gladstone Park, 15 yaars ago. in which blank cartridges were used, and in which- a Lieutenant was struck, dying three days later.

When the girl appeafed before the court yesterday she had refreshed her memory enough to. say that she is 16 years old, instead of 14. When asked why she said at her former hearing in court that she was but 14. she replied, "I malie fun. I got better sense now." She was severely reprimanded by Judge Gantenbein, who informed her that she could be sent to jail for perjury.

She said he is still occupying the house with his family. They were married in January, 1S96. and have three children. Christian Christ, Mary Magda lene Christ and Edlam Christ.

Heralded by the blowing of whistles on various factories and steam sirens on many of the harbor craft, the corner stone Of the Y.'M. C. A. building at Sixth and Taylor streets was laid at noon yes terday with brief but Impressive cere monies. The vicinity of the building was crowded with a host of interested specta tors. William Ladd. president of the As sociation, directed the exercises and as sisted by Dr. S. A. Brown, placed the stone in position and spread the cement holding it in place. The programme was opened with the singing of 'America," led by E. W. Peck, state secretary of the Minnesota Y. M. C. A., and a singer cf note. Dr. Benjamin Young then read from the third chapter of St. Paul's First Epistle to the Corinthians. This was followed by the singing of the anthem, "Faith of Our Fathers! Living Still." E. Quackenbush, the first president of the Association, then delivered an address on "Important Dates. 18G8 to 1908. in the Portland Y. M. C. A.." in which he re viewed the history of the organization from Its inception in March. 186S, through the period when it received generous as sistance from the late W. S. Ladd and H. W. Corbett, concluding with ' the events of the campaign of 1906-7 by which $360,000 was raised for the present edifice. What Denver Has -Done. Following Mr. Quackenbush's address, William E. Sweet, president of the Den ver Association, spoke on "What a Great Modern Y. M. C. A. Building Means in the Life of a City." Mr. Sweet said that the laying of the cornerstone marked an epoch in the development of Portland. He referred to the cosmopolitan character of the subscriptions and declared that no other organization could so unite such elements for such a purpose. At the con clusion of this address, Dr. S. A.

Murphy, Mr. Ladd laid the cornerstone, saying in conclusion: "I pronounce the cornel-stone in place, level true and plumb.". . Dr. Brougher pronounced the benediction concluding the cerepionies. Mr. Sweet's Address. Mr. Sweet's address was in part: The event which brings us together at this time is no ordinary occasion, it marks an epoch in the development of the City of Portland. It is a demonstration of the fact that those who have the highest welfare of the citv at heart are willing to build here a temple dedicated to the highest purpose to which anv temple may ie dedicated, the making of Christian manhood. Have you ever considered the variety of sources from which have come the thousands ot tioiiurs with which to build tins building? This money lias come for the most iart from the de liberate, calculating, keen bus-iness man. It has cume from the employer and the em plove. from the church man and from the unbeliever, from the Protestant and tne Romanist, from the Jew and Jhe Gentile, from the widow- who has given her mite, from these sources and many more have come the hundreds of thousands uf dollars to be administered solely for the benellt and heip of men. I ask you where is there an otlur organization such as this whic-h suc cessfully unites all these elements for such a purpose'.' National calamities have been occasions many times for the exercise of charity and benevolence, and rynjind us that after all the world ia akin, but today there is laid In your city' the corner-stone of a building born not out of a calamity but a common need, which need has only to be emphasized to be met. In the short time alloted me I cannot do more than suggest what a modern asso ciation building means to the life of a city. We arc awed as we thinlo of what the life of a great city really means. No one of us here can know all that it ' moans. It signifies the hurry and bustle of your commercial life, unloading of the great vessels as t'oey deposlt their cargo or put out to sea loaded with the proaucis or mis great state. I means the groat banking institutions of your I citv in which are deposited the millions of dollars owned by your people to be loa ..ed by these name banks and returned again on demand without the loss o a penny of the jjrinc:pal. Ail this and much more is known as the commercial life of this .pity. There is the political life which has to do with the science of wise government where one or two hundred thousand people are living together.' How perplexing are the prob lems which confront us in our political life. For a time the reform, the constructive forces are In control and then suddenly the obstructive not to say destructive party la in the ascendancy. Then there Is the social life of your city dealing; with the question of how the other half lives. What are the ambitions, the hopes, and aspirations of the other half, are they the creatures of thir environment or do they prefer their manner and method of life? 'if they look for a better day then what are our obliga tions to them? There Is again the religious life of the city, which ought to engage your earnest attention, for in proportion as you sii'.port in this community that which pro motes its religious and moral life you ad vance all thHtis highest and best.

Replicas of. the permanent floral dec orations used on the business and pub lic buildings ot the city of Hamburg, Germany, as a particular embellish ment during Its magnificent water car nival each year, will be attempted by no less than five Portland downtown buildings as a part of the general scheme of decoration for the next Rose Festival. The first batch of colored The combination o! healthful vegetable ingredients of which S. S. S. is composed, makes it an especially desirable and effective remedy in the treat ment of sores and ulcers of every kind. Since an impure condition of the blood is responsible for the trouble, a medicine that can purify the blood is the only hope of a successful cure; and it should be a medicine that not only cleanses the circulation, but one that at the same time restores the blood to its normal, rich, nutritive condition. S. S. S. is just such a remedy. It is made entirely of healing, cleansing vegetable properties, extracted from na ture's roots, herbs and barks of the forest and fields. It has long been recognized as the greatest of all blood purifiers, possessing the qualities necessary to remove every impurity in the blood. When S. S. S. has purified the circulation, and strengthened and enriched it, sores and ulcers heal read ily and surely, because they are no longer fed and kept open by a continual discharge into them of irritating disease-laden matter from the blood. S. S. S. brings about a healthy condition of the flesh by supplying it with rich, nourishing blood and makes a permanent and lasting cure.
