TIIE MORNIXG OREGOXIAN,. SATURDAY, JANUARY 30, 1909. 10 ITER QUESTION ' LEFT TO VOTERS Charter Board Will Let Public Decide Method of Lay ing Mains. EAST SIDE CLUBS APPEAL MeiiilK-rs Threaten to Defeat tntlre AVork of Commission if Proper ty Is .Made to Pay C't of KxU'iislons. One of the most pprIxinir iswues that has yet confronted the Fortlaud Charter Commission, that of the wator system, was definitely settled at last night's meeting of the commission. L'pon mo tion'll was decided to leave the ques tion to the people themselves. Alter nate propositions, to be drawn tip after consultation wiUi the United East Side i'ush Clubs and others Interested In the matter, -will be placed upon the ballot and will be voted upon at the next general election. One will assess the cost of water pipe extension to prop erty, and the other to consumers. This conclusion was reached, after Whitney I- I'.oise and several other members of the East Slile clubs ap peared before the commission and pro tested airainst the recent amendments proposed for the new charter. The sys tem of paying for water mains as sug gested by the Montague amendment, which was adopted on Tuesday night, did not meet with the approval of East Side residents. Speaks for Old System. Mr. Boise explained that the people of the East Side were well satlstled with the old water system, a system, he de clared, that had proven satisfactory from its Inception until the present time. He said that the proposed amendment, in his opinion, was a move In the wrong direction and would phove disastrous If attempted. Speaking for the residents of the East Stde. a section of the city, he said. In which only 5 per cent were renters, Mr. Boise faid that any attempt . to force the proposed new water system upon the people would mean the defeat of the entire workof the Commission. The threat was an open one and it-was repeated by other speakers who followed Mr. Boise. It was not the threat against the jentlre charter, however, which brought about the final decision, for the majority of the members of the Cirm misslon were of the opinion that the best solution of the question was to leave It to the people themselves. The matter had been thoroughly threshed out both before the committee on water supply and before the Commission as a whole. The motion to have the -question voted upon was made by City Attorney Kava naugh and was unanimously carried. After disposing of the water question, the Commission heard from two dele gates from the Klertricalworkers' Union. They, appeared before the Commission asking that the charter contain a pro vision for a department of elerjrlcity. They were appeased when John V. Io gan moved that paragraph K of section 73 of the present charter be amended. By the amendment an electrical Inspector Is provided for. whose duty It will be to in spect and pass upon all electric wiring done in the city, especially in buildings. ' Plan for City Funds. Kalph R. Duniway also Appeared before the Commission and proposed a method of Investing the city's surplus money. Mr. Dunlway's plan was to have the money Invested In bonded city warrants, and he gave a detailed explanation of how the matter could be accomplished. Upon motion Ir. Dunlway's proposition was referred to the committee on finance, taxation and revenue, and he was re quested to appear on Tuesday next and discuss the matter with the committee. Another Important matter that was cleaned ur by the Commission was the length of the term of office of the Mayor and other city officials. The Commission was of one accord in favor of a two year term of office for the Mayor. City Attorney and otaer municipal 'officers, ni.ti the exception of Onuneilmen. Coun cilmen are to be elected for four years, but will be so nrranped that three shall be elected every two years. Two amendments, one to section 114 r.d the other to section 116. were re ported. The amendment to the second paragraph cf section 114 reads as fol lows: . "Provided, however, that If. In any one year, the total assessment of property subject to assessment In said city, be less than llTO.rtrt, then tile Council may in crease said rate of 6 mills to such a rate as Is estimated will prodi.- $1.0u.vQ0 and each of said apportionment" of said funds shall be correspondingly increased." The amendment to the last paragraph of section 116 reads: "Provided, that if outstanding bonds cannot he purchased or redeemed, the Treasurer shall deposit such funds in the rame manner as other city funds are de posited under the provision of section 93 of the charter, but such funds shall only be deposited until such time as the Council mny have opportunity to pur chase Portland Improvement bonds, or City of Portland bonds Jnd said funds shall be used for the purchase of said bonds when possible to do so.". - : v Th Commission also approved the motion to leave all party designations off the ballot.

TEED WAS FOR CELIBACY LEADER OK KORESHA.V VNITY SAW DEATH IX MARKIAGE. Frequently Spoke of It as Bar to Immortality When Campaign ing in East. IlOSTON. Jan. 2!. (Special.) Now that Cyrus W. Teed, the self-styled "Second Messiah" from Chicago, has failed to rise from the dead, considerable curiosity Is being manifested In this city as to who the next leader of the sect will be. Naws dispatches say that Victoria Gratia. Teed's wife, has assumed con trol; but people who became familiar with Teed when he was proselyting In this city, remember distinctly that the leader of the Koresban Unity declared most emphatically against marriage for the "prophets" of his cult. Indeed. Teed went so far on one occa sion as to declare that one of the things that Would give him Immortality was a strict celibacy. Just how he made this declaration jibe with his reported mar riage is not clear to some of his fol lowers here, while others scofflngly de clare that his step from celibacy may have been responsible for his death. When Teed was In- this city he was very tenderly regarded by one of the wo men he "converted" to his belief, and she frequently made the boast that she woaUl marry him. She went to Florida among the earliest, and wrote from there to her friends In this city that she was in high power "there. The fact that the Identity of "Victoria Gratia" Is carefully concealed leads many people here to be lieve she was ultimately successful In her desires. While Teed was In this city, a novel was published dealing with a somewhat similar condition of affairs, and the mar riaKe of the hero and heroine brought aboot the dissolution of xne cult de scribed In the book. This story Teed read, and he declared afterwards that such a happening might have similar re sults In the Koreshan Unity. He added, however, that he would never marry. People interested are now recalling this coincidence, and smiling broadly. FOUR MEN GO TO PRISON Clark County Also Furnishes Two Lads for Itoform School. VANCOUVER. Wash., Jan. 29. (Sper cVa'.)

ARCH ISSUE ALSO BOBS UP Elks and Rose Festival Association Want Span Ieft Near Depot, but Property-Owners Protest "to Executive Board. The Executive Board, at Its regular meeting yesterday afternoon, ordered from the Portland Railway. Light & Power Company electric lights for Port'and's streets, public buildings ana parks for February. A requisition was authorised to be made by the Mayor and Auditor, and payment In advance for the arc and Incandescent lamps on the same basis of pay as that of Janu ary. This Insures lights for one more month, and It Is thought that a perma nent contract will be entered into be tween the city and the company , before the expiration of next month. Mayor Lane and President Josselyn have held several conferences at . the City Hall within the past few days, and while neither Will make a statement as to the details. It Is admitted by both that negotiations are pending for an amicable adjustment of the long-drawn-out controversy. Arch Detriment to Travel. At- the meeting yesterday afternoon the subject of the arch of welcome came up and was debated at some length, and finally was referred to a special committee to be appointed by Mayor Lane. The latter will investi gate before making the members of the committee known. The Elks peti tioned to have the arch left at its posi tion near the Union Depot until their grand lodge meets In Los Angeles. They want to use It as a feature of welcome to the delegates who pass through Portland. The general opinion of the Executive Board members seems to be that the arch Is a detriment to the vicinity, to business Interests, and that it Is In the way of travel, which -s heavy at that point. Superintendent Lyons, of the Terminal Company, and J. D. Hart, a property-owner, Bpoke against main taining the arch there, as they said it la detrimental to business and team traffic. Mr. Hart was questioned by P. E. Sullivan, a member of the Executive Board, who wanted" to know In what manner the arch is detrimental to Mr. Hart's Interests. Mr. Hart admitted that his lot had no building upon it, and that, until recently. It was cov ered with billboards. . labor Claims Still Unpaid. There are claims aggregating 3500 for labor and material on the arch, and the workmen and those supplying ma terial have never received payment. T. G. Greene, another Board member, expressed a desire to know how much the Elks and the Rose Festival As sociation will do toward the payment of the claims. He said that, unless they did something In that direction, he would not be willing to le them use the arch. After running the full length of municipal red tape to the point of awarding the contracfthe proposed improvement of East Stark street from East Twentieth to East Forty second streets came up for action by the Executive Board yesterday , after noon and was then re-referred to the street committee upon petition of Mrs. L.

PORTAGE TO THE DALLES This Is the Intention of Commis sioners The Dalles-Celilo It. R. SALEM, Or., Jan. 20. (To the Edi tor.) An article- appearing in the Pendleton Tribune of January 16, makes It plain that the general pub lic are not well Informed regarding matters connected with the building, operation and results derived from the Cascade and Dalles-Celilo State Por tage roads. The article referred to questioned the need of the extension of. the Dalles-Celilo Portage Road at The Dalles as provided in the bill In troduced by Representative Barrett In the Legislature, admitting, however, that if it be shown that, conditions warrant the expenditure incident to the proposed extension that the Tri bune would favor the appropriation necessary. The mere fact that a lead ing paper of Eastern Oregon Is so poorly advised as to the question of the pressing need of completing the Dalles-Celilo Portage so that a large amount of business can be handled expeditiously and thus make It pos sible to establish first-class steam boat service between Portland and up river points is sufficient excuse for asking space' In your paper with a view of bringing the merits of this Important public Improvement to pub lic attention. The writer U on of the) three com missioners In charge of the operation of the Portage Rood in question and has had occasion xecently to Investi gate this matter . from every view point, so as to be In position to give reliable Information and data to those who may take a direct Interest in the proposed extension and especially to be able to answer intelligently ques tions that may be asked by members of the Legislature who will pass on the bill. Aa, at present constructed the road has a first-class Incline at the upper terminal at Celilo and a very poor and inadequate one at the Big Eddy end. occasioned by the "fact that the solid rock bluff at .that end Is so abrupt that a good grado Is out of the question, being 11 and one-half per cent. The best that con be done Is to pull up one car at a time with a stationary engine. This has an swered in the past fairly well, there having been but a small amount of freight to transfer, there being on the upper river only one small steamer connecting with the Portage. The situation will be entirely changed next Spring, the Open River Transporta tion Company having Just completed one first-class steamer at a cost of $30,000 to operate above Celllo and another exactly similar will be com pleted by April 1. The superinten dent of the company has given notice to the Portage commissioners that it will be -impossible to transfer the freight that these boats will handle expeditiously enough to admit of their boats making their regular runs be tween the Big Eddy and Portland, consequently he strongly favors the extension of the Portage Road to the wharves at The Dalles. It is mani fest that the general public would also be better accommodated if the trans fer of both freight and passengers was made at this -common point where all boats land convenient , to hotels and railroad depots. With a first-class steamboat line operating on the river above Celilo It will be feasible to build connecting lines of railroad into the interior. Freight rates are rela tlyely very, high above Celllo .compared to what they are at The Dalles and below, where water competition la an established fact. The following table gives the pres ent rail rates per ton to the points named from Portland and their dis tances as compared with The Dalles on several well-known commodities: Miles Wheat. Wool.bla. Sugar. l.B0 3-60 Z-W ...100 2.05 8 0 20 143 2.50 9 20 8.00 187 a.00 12.00 10.20 .231 3.15 14.40 13.00 The Dalles Celllo Arlington . Umatilla .. Pendleton The above gives great room for a reduction In freight rates. That a great cut In rates will follow the in stallation of such service as is pro posed by the O. R. A N. Co. seems certain, in view of the very great re duction that was made between Port landand The Dalles by the construc tion and operation of the State Port age Road at the Cascades which was opened for traffic In Sept-.nber, 1891. The following table shows what effect the operation of that Portage had on rates 'by the Fall of 1894. two years before the Cascade Locks were opened in November, 1898: lg94 - 1S91 Rail and Rail rates boat rate oer ton. per ion 2.00 Wheat ,nno EE? ..d..-.u::::'.:::::: 1 : win. :::::::::::::::::::::: : Grain bags i" The bill presented by Mr. . i . u Pnrtaor Road SOU 2 00 2 00 3 00 2.50 Barrett to The Dalles calls for an appropriation or J7S.000 or so much tnereoi mu.j necessary. This is a larger sum than was named in the bill defeated by the last Legislature. This Is accounted for by the fact that the Board of Portage Commissioners as well as all who have looked Into the matter think it would be good business Judgment on the part of the state to have the proposed ex tension located on a route that will be needed for railroad purposes after the Celilo Canal Is in operation. In fact. It might be well for the Legis lature to insist that this be done. It Is evident that it will be but a lew years before it will take more than one track to do the business passing up and down the Columbia River on the Oregon side. Consequently it is reasonable to suppose that the state will be able to dispose of the com pleted Portage Railway when the same has served Its purpose for a price that will cover the original cost to the state, provided the proposed ex tension is located where it should be. The road from Celilo to the Big Eddy cost in round numbers $178,400. of which the state pal $1,400. the bal ance being met by public subscrip tion. WILLIAM J. MARIJTgR- WANTS CHIEF FIRE WARDEN Oregon Forestry Association In dorses BiU Before Legislature. The regular monthly meeting of the Oregon Forestry Association was held last night In City Hall and was attended by the largest number of members yet attending the meetings since the forma tion of the association. Rev. A. J. Mont gomery, vice-president, presided In the absence of the president. The principal discussion was on the subject of forest Are protection. The Oregon association allied Itself with the Northwest Forest Protective and Con servation Association, embracing the states of Washington. Idaho, Montana, and now Oregon. The work of the Fed eral authorities In preserving -Appalachian forests was Indorsed. , By resolution a bill in the Legislature providing far the appointment of a chief fire warden was favored. The bill appro priates funds for salaries of the warden and assistants and also makes him a member of the State Board of Forestry with thej position of secretary. A resolution was passed recommending that House bill 43. known as the Beals cruising- bill, should, not pass. Hares and Hounds This Afternoon.

Committee Discovers Soft Spots In Supporting Columns, but Com pany Maintains Work Is Better Than Specifications Require. Soft spots In the columns of the East Twenty-eighth-street reinforced concrete bridge across Sullivan's gulch have been discovered by members of the bridge committee of the City Executive Board, and- because of this information, a new development in the matter, no report was. made, to the Executive Board at its meeting held yesterday afternoon. Mayor Lane and some of the members of the committee areTafrald to accept the struc ture, they declare, and want more time In which to Investigate and compile a re port. ' L. A. McNary, counsel for the North west Bridge Works, the contracting Arm, declared yesterday afternoon that there Is absolutely no merit in the contentions of the Mayor and, members of the bridge committee to the effect that there are serious defects In the bridge. He says the contracting firm rrallt a better struc ture than was. called for in the plans anfl specifications. Borne minor defects, he says, are there simply because the city refused the "company permission to change to a slight degree some of the specifications, such as the material for the coping. "There is no use for the Mayor ana Salt. (1.90 2.30 6 20 6.80 7.50 Wire. Or. b'ss. 2.00 200 8 20 8.20 8.00 6.20 10.20 8.00 D.00 9 SO the committee to make so much fuss over this matter," said Mr. McNary. "The fact is the contractors spent not less than $3000 above the amount called for in the contract to make that bridge better than called for In the plans and specifica tions. To fail In making a good bridge In this instance would have meant untold financial loss to the company, for it is the first of the kind built here, and upon the result of this hangs the whole future of the company In tsls kind of work. It. therefore, appears absurd to think that the contractors would allow any mistakes to creep An or that they would use any inferior materials or do anything to make the bridge inferior In any particular." The members of the bridge committee made another Inspection of the structure yesterday noon, and some of them are more than ever skeptical. Spots were found in some of the columns, it is de 'clared, that are soft: that can be cut with a knife, although the columns are of reinforced concrete. This, la said to be the most serious deect yet discovered, and caused the committeemen to hold up the matter temporarily. No mention of It was made at the Executive .board session, although Attorney McNary and President J. R. Bowles, of the contract ing company, were present. It Is probable that another session of the committee will be held soon, at which a report will be made up. If pos sible, and that a Bpeclal meeting of the Executive Board will be called to act upon it: ' REALTY BOARD WANTS LAW FAVOHS BILL AGAIXST VERBAL CONTRACTS. Dealers Decline, Hotrever, to In dorse Project for Bridge Across the Columbia HJver. At the regular meeting of the Portland Realty Board last night a resolution was passed favoring the passage of the bill now in the Senate at ' Salem, providing that only written contracts for sale of property shall have standing in the courts. Heretofore verbal contracts were recognized In cases of suit for the col lection of commissions. Some opposition to the resolution was presented by Wil lard H. Chapin. who saw In the measure danger of holding back realty business. The secretary was authorized to commu nicate with members of the Senate, ad vising them of the action of the board. A communication was read requesting the board to favor by resolution the erec tion of a bridge over the Columbia, con necting the Peninsula with Vancouver. Whitney L.
