STEAMSHIPS FOB
HILL'S NEW LINE
President and Governor May
Be Used to Inaugurate '
Run to San Francisco.
TRADE WARRANTS VENTURE
steamships Now Tied l'p at Bay C ity
Are Fully Equipped to Handle
First-Class Passenger Traf
fic Between Cities.
The announcement made by Presl
ilent HilL of the Great Northern Ttall
vijr Company, to the effect that the
Hill interests would place up-to-date
passenger steamships on the run be
tween .Portland and Pan Francisco if
conditions warranted and that the
company had two such steamships in
readiness, has aroused great interest
in Portland shipping circles and in the
ranks of the traveling; public.
The new warehouses of the Spokane.
Portland Seattle Railway Company
on the site of the old Weidler mills
are practically complete and the line is
operating- over the entire system. The
management of the road will without
doubt place a steamship In operation
within a short time. Conditions are
Mid to be bound to warrant It. Hill
desire connection with San Francisco
and the legitimate route is through
Portland. The freight business Is con
stantly increasing, although rates are
J low at the present. There Is a gradual
upward tendency in rates, however,
and after the beginning of the new
'year steamship men look for much
ibetter conditions. In addition to the
itwo regular steamship lines now mak
ing regular sailings from Portland to
Fan Francisco, there are at least a
dosen steam schooners engaged in the
'handling of north-bound freight. They
take grain and lumber south.
Lines Could Get Business.
A large part of this business would
be thrown to a regular liner having a
regular sailing date. It Is true that
the strain schooners will always get a
portion of the business, but the bulk
will go to a vessel with an established
and known sailing date. In addition,
the through business will be a factor
with the Hill Interests.
The steamships President and Gov
ernor, now tied up at Pan Francisco,
are available and Mr. Hill can charter
them for the line between Portland and
Pan Francisco. While they are not of
the type best fitted for the business
between Portland and the California
city, they are by far the finest pas
eenger packets on the Coast. They
.have accommodations for 291 first
class passengers and 144 second-class,
ea-h. The vessels are. with the excep
tion of machinery, sister craft and
measure 417 feet long. 4S feet beam
and 2 feet depth of hold. They steam
24 land miles an hour and are excep
tionally steady.
Boats Built In East.
The President and Governor were
bulit at Camden. X. J., and were con
structed especially for the first-class
'passenger service. The Governor is a
twin-screw craft with two funnels, and
the President is a single screw with
one funnel. With this difference they
are built on exactly the same lines
end have accommodations which are
Identical. The Governor came to the
Pacific Coast In the Fall of 1907, and
was followed shortly after by her sister
ship. Each ship has six decks and,
when loaded, will draw a little more
than 21 feet. They are equipped
with wireless telegraph apparatus and
the promenade decks are large and
sheltered.
Several months ago the Pacific
Coast Steamship Company looked over
the local situation with a view to
placing these vessels on the. Portland
Pan Francisco run. but freight offer
ings were not sufficient to warrant the
venture. Should they be placed in
service by Mr. Hill they will be operat
ed by the railroad. Interests.
Vessels of the Tale type would ultl
.mately lollow the Inauguration of a
line by the Hill interests. This type of
craft will make 21 knots and carry
only a limited amount of freight, while
the passenger accommodations are of
the finest, and it is in the passenger
trade that the railroad lines are look
ing for the support of the people of
the Pacific Coast. It is rumored that
Hill has securod options for the pur
chase of tne steamships Yale and
Harvard, now in service on the Atlantic
side.
TWEEDDALE TO LOAD HERE
British Steamship Receives Orders
to Proceed to Portland.
The British steamship Tweeddale will
load lumber at Portland for the Orient.
The steamship came north from Magda
lena Bay and off San Francisco received
orders to proceed to Portland. The vessel
'Should arrive off the mouth of the river
some time 'today.
The Tweeddale will be the only lumber
packet in the river to take cargo for a
foreign port. With the. clearance of tho
schooner Samar. last Saturday, the load
ing of foreign-bound lumber cargoes
ceased.
-Modoc. Sinks in Sacramento River,
Dispatcher received from Sacra

ing of the Southern Pacific steamer
Modoc near Walnut Grove, as the re
sult of a collision with the steamer
Valetta. The Modoc referred to was
not the famous old Willamette River
packet, but on of the old-style Sac
ramento River boats, built on the Mis
sissippi plan, wl'.h a high - pressure
cylinder on one sld and a low on the

TO
STAND AS MODEL
Next Legislature Will Have
Bill for Administrative
Water System.
FULL DISCUSSION HELD
Oregon Conservation Commission
and 'Water-Users of State Have
Conference at 'Which Xeed of
legislation Is Set Forth.
A bill will be presented .to the Oregon
Legislature this Winter asking for an
administrative water system in this
state. This was assured yesterday at
an extended conference between the
members of the Oregon Conservation
Commission and the various water
users of the state. The proposed law
will be modeled after that In force In
Wyoming, where water rights are ad
judicated and determined by a state
board of control and regulated by the
same authority. In ' the operation of
such a law, vested rights already ad
judicated by the courts, will noc be
disturbed.
As a result of the meeting, which
was held In the assembly hall of the
Commercial Club, the subcommittee
of the Conservation Commission, hav
ing charge of legislation relating to
irrigation and the use of water, decided
to hold another meeting today, when a
further committee from among its
members will be selected to proceed
with preparing a bill for the Legisla
ture. In doing so the committee will
engage the services of Clarence T.
Johnscon, state engineer, of Wyoming;
A. E. Chandler, legal adviser of the
Reclamation Service, of Washington,
P. C. and r. C. Henny, Supervising
Engineer. United States Reclamation
Service, of this city. It was largely
due to Mr. Johnston that the members
of the commission yesterday ' learned
of the provisions of the Wyoming law
and how it operates.
Members of Subcommittee.
The members of the subcommittee
that is charged with drafting a bill
on the subject of conserving the water
interests of the state are: J. H. Lewis,
State Engineer, of Salem; Austin T.
Buxton. Forest Grove: State Senator
J. N. Hart. Baker City: Will R. King,
Commissioner to Supreme Court, Salem;
Richard W. Montague. Portland: State
Senator Frank J. Miller. Albany: Wil
bur K. Newell. Gaston; J. C. Stevens,
of the United States Geological Survey,
Portland; C. B. Watson, Ashland; and
J. R. Wilson, Portland.
Under the Wyoming law, as explained
by Mr. Johnston, the state has a board
of control by which water rights are
established and regulated. This board
consists of five members, appointed by
the Governor. Appointees on the board
must first have passed an examination
conducted by the State Engineer before
becoming eligible to serve. When the
board has adjusted the rights 'of con
flicting interests of the water supply
In any stream, the party dissatisfied
with the adjustment has the right with
in 60 days to appeal from the decision
of the board to the courts. Mr. John
ston defended the constitutionality of
the law of his state by maintaining
that provision for an appeal to the
courta dismissed that objection. He
urged upon members of the commission
the need for some law in this state
that should contain two essentials An
independent engineering department
and some intermediary tribunal, such as
a board of control for adjusting all such
controversies without making it neces
sary to litigation in the courts except
as a last resort.
Wyoming Law Explained.
In response to questions, Mr. Johnston
said that the expense of such an ad
ministration of the water system of his
state was between $20,000 and J26.000, while
the sen-Ice concerned not less than 20,
) consumers. Under the operation of the
Wyoming law, Mr. Johnston said the long
est time required for the adjustment of
any controversy respecting the appropria
tion of . water from a stream was only 18
months, while the system gave very gen
eral satisfaction, as was evidenced from
the fact that only Infrequently were ap
peals taken by either of the rival inter
ests to the court.
R. G. Smith, of Grants Pass, admitted
that the state needs an administrative
system of its water resources,, but he
contended that the constitution of the
state would not permit the vesting of any
commission with judicial functions. The
court, ne maintained, was the only proper
place for adjudicating water disputes. A.
King Wilson, of this city, concurred with
Mr. Smith and held that a law such as
that In efTect in Wyoming would conflict
with the Oregon constitution.
State Senator J. F. Miller, of Albany,
insisted that such authority could be
granted to a commission and cited as an
Instance the powers with which the Board
of Railroad Commissioners have been
vested. R. W. Montague, of this city,
declared that there was not a City Coun
cil in the srtate that did not exercise
Judicial functions, but the fact that the
right of appeal to the courts was re
served, removed all legitimate grounds
for questioning the constitutionality of
such proceedings.
Water Rights Not Settled.
In advocating the need for some suoh
legislation as had been proposed. State
Senator J. N. Hart, of Baker City, said
not a single water right in Eastern Ore
gon could be considered actually to have
been settled. He explained by saying that
while controversies between two users
of water from the same stream may have
been adjusted so far as their individual
rights were concerned with respect to
each other, the use of water from any
stream cannot be finally adjudicated until
the rights of ail parties on that stream
have been determined.
A. P. Stover. Irrigation Engineer of the
Department of Agriculture, told the Com
mission that if any water law should be
recommended -it should apply to all sec
tions of the state and not be confined to
any one locality. He called attention to
the fact that irrigation experiments in the
Willamette Valley had proved decidedly
profitable. He also Informed the Com
mission that of four Irrigation projects
projected for Western Oregon, three were
in the Willamette Valley.
Mr. Chandler, of the Legal Department
of the Reclamation Service, firmly ap
proved of the Wyoming law as the proper
administrative system. Where the courts
were relied on for adjusting disputes as
to the use of water from streams, he said,
the procedure was tedious and gener
ally unsatisfactory. Even then, he said,
the rights were determined only of the
parties to the Ittlgatton. But, conceding
that In the same manner rights of all
persons on a stream were determined,
the further objection was urged that no
officer was available for enforcing the
decree of the court.
.Mr. Henny, also of the Reclamation
Service, said there existed all over the
state a general uncertainty as to water
WYOMING
Li
rights, a fact that In no small measure
impeded the progress or tne wjvernnieni
projects. Referring to the importance of
water legislation in this state. Mr. Henny
remarked that North Dakota was the
only other state In the United States
having larger irrigation interests.
County Judge L. R. Webster, of this
city: F. T. Griffith, of Oregon City, and
'H. H. Sinclair, of San Francisco, Cal.,
insisted that In considering any legisla
tion on the subject, and particularly along
the llnea of that in operation in Wyoming,
due consideration should be given the
owner of riparian rights. Mr. Griffith
Insisted that in framing legislation the
doctrines of appropriation and of riparian
rights must tie harmonised.
Others attending the conference and
participating In the discussion were: Wil
liam Hanley, of Burns; E. R. Lake. Cor
vallla: W. K. Newell. Gaston; J. C.
Stevens, Portland: I. Worthington, Pendie
ton; Jesse Stearns. Portland; J. R. Wil
aon. Portland. W. R. King. Commissioner
to the 8tate Supreme Court, was chair
man of the meeting. The secretary was
Professor F. G. Young, of Eugene.
PUNT ROSES WITH POMP
WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY TO
HAVE DUAL MEANING.
All Branches of Civic Life Asked to
Join in Making Celebration Big
Feature of Carnival.
Military, civilian and fraternal aspect
will be given the celebration of the sec
ond annual "'Rose Planting Day." which
Is to be held on Washington's birthday,
February 22, 1909, under the auspices of
the Portland Rose Festival. As now
planned, the National Guard of Oregon
stationed in this city will be asked to
take part in the formal ceremonies in
honor, not only of the natal day of the
"father of his country." but In observ
ance of this particular function In con
nection with the Rose Festival. Colonel
Charles E. McDonelL of the Third Regi
ment, O. N. G., has notified the Rose
Festival that he and his entire command
are ready to assist In every possible way
to make the annual demonstration a suc
cess. The part that was played on last
Rose Planting Day" by the citizen sol
diery of Portland is only too well re
membered. -
The civilian part of the day's cere
monies will be left to the various depart
ments of the city government, and it Is
confidently expected that a satisfactory
arrangement can be made wheretjv the
children of the nubile schools will be
allowed to play some significant part In
tho programme. The most picturesque
feature of the rose-planting ceremonies
last February was the drill-work and
evolutions of the boys and girls of the
city schools, and while only a small per
centage of the school enrollment was
represented then. It is planned to have
as nearly a complete representation of
the entire enrollment as conditions will
permit for the next "Rose Planting Day."
The fraternal side of the patriotic event
will depend largely upon the interest
shown by the many different clubs and
societies in the city. The Elks, the
Woodmen, the Eagles, the Red Men, the
Knights of Pythias lodges, and several
other orders will be asked to lead their
support to the movement.
Just what the programme for the day
will be has not been determined, but
Dr. Emmet Drake, secretary of the Port
land Rose Festival Association and gen
eral manager of the "Rose Planting
Day" celebration,- announced last night
that It waa his intention If possible, to
unite every element of Portland's civic
life in this project.
"We all know that nothing which was
done during all the Festival plans of a
year ago equalled in general advertising
value the simple ceremonies of last rose
planting day," said Dr. Drake, last night.
"I believe we might as well decide right
now to make Washington's birthday,
each year, an occasion for a general
municipal celebration, and there cer
tainly is no better way to observe that
Important date than by holding rose
planting ceremonies each year. We have
our balmv Summer weather here while,
as a rule, the Middle West and East
are struggling In the rigid grasp of the
Winter king.
"Our committee most emphatically ex
pects the entire citizenship of Portland
to Join hands In this function. For my
part. I can see no reason why we can
not make It one of the most signal events
of the year. 'Boost, boost, boost.' is the
only word, and here's the chance."
"SOCIALISM" THE TOPIC
Dr. Jordan Reads Paper Before
Baptist Ministerial Association.
"The Today and Yesterday of Social
ism" was the title of a paper read yes
terday, at the Baptist Ministerial Asso
ciation, by Dr. W. T. Jordan, of the
Central Baptist Church. The theory of
the paper was that Socialism Is primarily
a struggle against social Inequality effect
ing a collective ownership of all the ma
terials for production in modern civiliza
tion. The migration from Egypt under
Moses was claimed to be a labor move
ment. Competition and monopoly were de
clared to be two great evils of the present
time, and that the Socialistic tendencies
of today were considered, as great an
historical evolution as the reformation.
Christianity, Dr. Jordan affirmed, em
bodied the principles of Socialism in their
highest concepts, and through the teach
ings of Christ by parable and example
an ideal Socialism was believed possible.
In the discussion following the reading
of the paper Rev. Mr. Lapham expressed
himself in favor of Socialism, but not
communism, and said he had found that
Socialism had brought many to realize,
the purport of religion and made It im
possible for disembodied Christianity to
stand. Others who participated In the
discussion were Rev. E. S. Muckley and
Dr. I. T. Van Osdel, of McMinnville.
JOHNSON TO HANG FEB. 5
Judge McBrlde Passes Death Sen
tence on Perdne's Slayer.
HtLLSBORO, Or., Dec. 14. (Spe
cial.) Judge T. A. McBrlde this after
noon passed sentence of death upon
Walter Montgomery Johnson, who Sat
urday evening was convicted of the
murder of Elmer Perdue. The court
this morning heard the motion of
Johnson's attorneys for a new trial,
which was denied.
The court decreed that Johnson shall
be remanded to the Washington County
Jail for a period not longer than 10
days, when he will be conveyed to
Salem, where, on Friday, February i,
he shall be hanged.
Judge McBrlde ,was visibly affected,
and stated from the bench that he
had been called upon seven times to
pass the death sentence within the
past two years, and that In all cases
the cause of the crime had been either
Idleness, unthrlft or dissipation. He
enlarged upon this, and said that this
should be. a lesson to every young
man Just entering Into life.
The courtroom was crowded to hear
the sentence, as Johnson was well
known as a boy to hundreds of Wash
ington County citizens.

NEUROLOGY
K Drugless System of Treatment
,for Eye, Nervous and
Chronic Ills.
Dr. Harvey W. Freeze, who has
taken offices in the Marquarn
building on the second floor, is a
graduate of McCormick Neuro
logical College, Chicago, the only
one of its kind in the world. It
was established in 1893, for the
study of the causes of human ills
and how to abolish them without
drugs or operations.
Graduates of this college are
practicing in every state in the
Union, in Canada and foreign
countries. They do an office prac
tice only, making a specialty of
eye and nervous troubles, also
chronic diseases; especially those
that have not yielded to medical
ar other treatment. By their
unique methods of examination
they discover causes, and when
these are removed, Nature soon
lures.
Neurology as a system of prac
tice is without fads, being broad,
drugless and non-operative in its
application. Embracing as it
does the science of diet, correc
tion of eye defects, manual exer
cises and adjustments, hydrology,
metaphysics and general hygiene,
it reaches and removes causes of
about 95 per cent of human ills.
Dr. Freeze has arranged his
present offices with the intention
of making a specialty of eye and
chronic nervous troubles. The
methods employed by him in ad
justing glasses to fit the delicate
mechanism of the eyes are the
latest and best known to science,
and will be a great boon to those
who have been unable to get satis
factory glasses, or who have been
suffering from headaches or other
nervous derangements due primar
ily to nerve-strain by way of the
visual organs. Once fitted by this
system means no further change
in distance lenses.
G. A. R., of this city, are indignant over
the fact that the G. A. R. badge is being
worn by some who are not members of
that order and hence not entitled to
wear the distinctive Grand Army In
signia. They have taken up the matter
with vigor and Intend to enforce tho
state law which makes it a misdemeanor
for any one to wear the G. A. R. button
who is not entitled to wear It under the
rules and regulations of the Department
of Washington and Alaska G. A. R.
COMPANY'S FRANCHISE OUT
Pacific Telephone Rights in Ho
qulam Have Expired.
HOQL1AM, Wash.. Dec. 14. (Special.)
The franchise of the Pacific Telegraph &
Telephone Company In this city expired
some time ago and no effort has been
made on the part of the company, so far
as known, for renewal. Mayor Frary Is
quoted as saying that It was up to the
telephone folks to make the first move
and that the city had several cards to
play. He also considers the company as
a trespasser on city property since ex
piration of the franchise and there are
attorneys here who claim that payment
for telephone service cannot be legally
exacted under the above conditions.
The apparent indifference of the tele
phone company Is a matter of consider
able conjecture here, as their holdings in
Hoquiam alone closely approximate
$100,000.
