MAYQBTAINREFUND
Appropriation for Locks at
Oregon City Objected To.
REPEAL TO BE DEMANDED
Many Legislators Feel That tavern
ment Should Boy rubllc Utility
and Not Burden State With
Part Payment of Costs.
Repeal of the law appropriating S3O0.000
of the state's money toward the proposed
purchase of the Oregon City locks will
be asked of the coming Legislature, if
local gossip can be relied on. Agitation
for the recall of this appropriation, which
was set aside by the 10)7 Legislature, al
ready has started among members of
the delegation from this county, who con
tend that if the property at Oregon City
is to be acquired, it is up to the uov
eminent to provide the necessary funds.
The bill carrying this appropriation was
enacted at the last session of the Legis
lature, after a decidedly hard flgnu It
was introduced by B. F. Jones, wiio repre
sented Lincoln and Polk Counties in the
House. The terms of the bill were that
the money should -be available for three
years, to be used only in event that the
Government provided the balance of the
money that would be required to com
plete the purchase of the property. While
In the city recently Mr. Jones, who will
again represent the same two counties
in the House, announced that unless Sen
ator Fulton succeeded in bringing about
Immediate action by Congress favorable
to the purchase of the locks, he, at the
coming session, would -seek to have ex
tended the time In which these funds
appropriated by the state can be used.
Otherwise, the appropriation would lapse
and become Inaccessible before another
session of the Legislature could convene.
Immediately following this announce
ment by Mr. Jones, a movement opposing
his plan was initiated among Legislators
elect from this county. Assurances of
support from other members of the Leg
islature in the outside counties are said
to have been received by the Multnomah
County men. Those advocating the repeal
of this law and the restoration of the
J.100.000 to the general uses of the state
maintain that. In the first place, this ap
propriation was excessive.
They contend that the property-owners
In the state are taxed sufficiently for
purely state purposes, without being ex
pected to furnish the means, or at least
considerable part, with whlcn a public
utility, such as the locks, shall be pur-'
chased. The anti-locks appropriation
campaign Is being waged on the theory
that all of the funds for any such public
benefit should be provided by the Gov
ernment direct.

XORTHWEST HERE.
Many Papers on Professional Sub'
jects- Read Trip Over City

power plants In the Pacific Northwest

mercial Club, welcomed the visitors to
the city when the association convened
at 10 o'clock yesterday morning. The

in a general discussion of "Uniform Accounting.'-
which was introduced by
Frank Dabney. of the Seattle Electric
Company. Others to discuss this sub
ject were: C. N". Hugglns. of the Port
land Railway, Light A Power Company,
and II. l! Bleeeker. of the Washington
Water Power Company. "Unlforn
Method of Computing Rates and Possi
bility of Uniform Rates for- Small Com
panies" was the subject of an address'
by M. C. Osborn. of the Washington
Water Power Company. It was after
wards discussed by Morton Ransdell. of
the Seattle-Tacoma Power Company.
Taxation, particularly as applied to
electric light and power property, was
discussed at considerable length during
the afternoon session. Among those tak-
ng part in the discussion were: If. L.
Bleeeker. of the Washington Water Pow
er Company: James B. Howe, attorney
for the Seattle Electric Company; A. c.
Woodcock, of the Northwestern Gas &
Electric Company, and A. w elch, 01 the
Willamette Valley Company. "Pub-
llclty' was discussed by W. J. Grambs,
of the Seattle Elecfrlc Company; H. L.
Bleeeker. of the Washington Water
Power Company, and Carlos Cox, of the
Skagit Improvement Company.
The association will meet In executive
aesslon at 10 o clock this morning ror
the consideration of subjects of legisla
tion.
This afternoon the visitors will be the
guests of the Portland Railway, Light &

clude with a banquet at the Commercial
Club tonight- '
for a public park, and has a committee
of 14 representative citizens handling the
matter. The tract is between East
Thirty-first and East Thirty-ninth stieet.
on the north side of the Base line, cov
ered with flr timber. Charles Mautz, a
prominent member of the club, said yes
terday: "We want thus entire 4o-acre' tract for
park purposes. The land Is centrally
located, only a short distance from the
carline, and will be accessible from prac
tically the whole of the East Side. The
land as it stands is now a park and will
require little expense, only a few walks
and other small improvements being nec
essary. It is covered with a natural
growth of trees, which can be left stand
ing, the land is rolling and is In every
way fitted for park purposes. It is much
nearer to the center of population than
Mount Tabor, where it is proposed to
purchase 19 acres. People can walk to
the tract In the Ladd farm.
"There has already been some nego
tiation with the representative of the
Ladd estate, and I believe there will be
no great diificulty in securing the land
wor park purposes. It ought to be se
cured as soon as possible. Toe much de
lay might mean Its entire loss."
FIRE LADDIES HELP GIRL
RAISE FUND TO BUY CLOTHES
FOR DESERTED CHILD-WIFE.
In Pitiable Condition. Destitute of
Garments, AVonian Taken
to Y. V. C. A.
Firemen at Stalion No. 8, Russell
street, near Williams avenue, are rais
ing money by subscriptions from them-
selves to aid the deserted' bride of
William Stephenson, who, serving 1
brief time in the County Jail for rob
bing telephone boxes, left her penniless
and without friends. It was two weeks
ago that ha deserted her, and she has
existed without funds since that time.
-Yesterday she was taken In charge
by officials of the T. W. C. A., who de
clare that when they found her she
was clad only in a pair of stockings,
shoes and a calico apron. It was
necessary to send to the city to procure
clothing that she could -wear while De
ing brought to the Y. W. C. A. Home.
The young woman Is 19 years of age.
She and a twin sister lived near Salem
until iliey married and came to Port
land. The young woman now in dis
tress. Boiinie. married a youth by the
name of Stephenson, and the sister
married & youth by the name of Urban.
They came to Portland and. when funds
ran short, the two youths robbed tele
phone booths. They were arrested and
sentenced to terms in the County Jail.
On his release two weeks ago, Urban
and his wife left together." Stephenson

clothes and no money. Her landlord,

to secure his rent. She was clad in
what remained when taken in charge
yesterday. Her condition was discov
ered by firemen, who reported it to the
Y. W. C. A., and tliey are now raising
money for the unfortunate girl.
