During his visit to Astoria Mr. Lock
wood took occasion to inquire into the
conditions on the bar. From rilots and
tugboat masters he learned that the
water had deepened to 27 feet at dead
low water. In the opinion of bar men
tb- water will show a depth of SO feet
when the annual survey is made by the
Government In June. The width of the
channel is fully W feet, with a depth
of T feet. Ships drawing 24 and i feet
are crossing in at all stages of water.

my opinion, gave a plan that would pro
tect the game. But as it happened, the
writer referred to was not a "sportsman."
and his plan was so simple thut none of
our Legislatures adopted it. He Is Judge
Hall, of MarshfVld, and he said: "Limit
the amount killed and see that the law is
enforced."
Members of the present Legislature called
a meeting of the tfportsmen last woek to
discuss a new law for game protection. It
appears to me that The Oregonlan's plan,
and that of the present Legislature calling
on sportsmen for plans for game protec
tion, is similar to what would happen
were "crooks" at Salem called on to help
make laws for the protection of property.
Practically all of the game Is killed by
sportsmen, and naturally they wish to pet
all they can, like tho "crooks." In The
Oregonlan's symposium of opinions from
sportsmen published several years ago, was
one from the secretary of the Oregon Fish
and Game Protective Association, saying he
"Did not seo how the present law could
be Improved," and at that time the limit
on ducks was 100 per day. I think that is
unfortunate, coming from the secretary of
the association that has practically con
trolled the game laws of the state, and of
course he voiced lh-a opinion of the asso
ciation. Last week another man came into print
protesting against a proposition to extend
the shooting season through February, as
serting that It was Spring shooting, breed
ing time, etc, but did not suy a thing
about cutting the bag limit, which Is now
rS per day and 50 per week. I have passed
as many years in Oregon as he has, and he
and I know that the breeding of wild ducks
In this state Is practically at an end, be
cause the march of improvements has de
stroved their natural breeding places. The
swales, swamps and ponds have been
ditched and drained, and the brush cleared
that save thorn cover in nesting time. So,
If not another duck was killed they would
not nest where they would be disturbed
by oassers.
In The Onegonian of January 31 another
writer alleges that the scarcity of ducks
is caused by thulr nests being robbed by
the Indians in Northern breeding grounds
and who ship these birds' eggs in large
quantities. I heard that story a long time
ago, and if I remember aright It was In
vestigated and found to be Incorrect, but
It may be true at the present time. His
estimate of the number killed by men be
longing to clubs, along tbe Columbia River,
I think is far too low. It would bo nearer
what each member gets.
I think it is a conservative estimate that
nlrw-tenths of all the ducks killed in the
state are taken along the Columbia River,
and if the shooting season was from Sep
tember t to December 31 for the Paciric
Coast and Columbia River counties and the
Klamath Basin, and from November 1 to
the last day of February for the balance
of th state, and the bag limit put at five
per day and not more than ten per week,
which is as much as any two families
need, then all the shooters will have an
equal show and thena will not be more
than one duck kllb-d where I'd are now.
I'nder our present law tbe Pacific Coast
and Columbia River counties and the
Klamath Basin get from five to seven
months' shooting, and the halano of the
state about two months. The reason for
this Is because the nrst flights of ducks
come about September 1. and as there is
plentv of water along the roast. Columbia
and Klamath, there the durks go. and th-a
shooting commences. In the less-favored
section of the state, where therv? is no ex
tensive body of water, the ducks do not
appear until the streames over How and fill
the shallow ponds, which is generally the
latter part of November, and it is often
lHcember before there is water enough to
bring ducks. 1 am for game protection.

Form Exhibit in Contested
Street Improvement Case.
TROUBLE BEGAN IN 1902
Litigation Over East Burnslde Pav
ing Has Been Under "Way tor
Years and Cost Exceeds .
Money Involved.
Boulders large enough to require a
derrick for moving- them were pre
sented in the State Circuit Court yes
terday as exhibits in the litigation be
tween the city and East Burnslde-street
property-owners over an ancient street
assessment. These big stones . were
presented to offset the- clalma of the
city that the street improvement was
carried out according to contract back
in 1902. The contract for improvement
specified that no stones larger than
four inches in diameter should be used.
Some of those in court come nearer be
ing four feet through.
This is the third time this matter
has been in court. and while the
amount involved is only S2000. more
time has been spent on the case than
usually Is devoted to big litigations.
Allowing for salaries of Judges, clerks
and attorneys' fees, the litigation has
already cost far more than the sum
involved.
Went to Supreme Court.
The City of Portland versus A. A.
Kadderly et al. is the title of the case.
In 1902 East Burnslde street was im
proved from Eighth to Twenty-eighth-streets.
In 1903 some of the property
owners applied for an injunction re
straining the city from making an en
forced collection for the Improvements.
The injunction was denied and the case
then went to the Supreme Court on a
writ of review. Here the property
owners again lost out. Now they are
resisting re-assessment provided lately
by the City Council as. a curative
measure.
It is unanimously alleged by owners
of property affected by the assessment
that the Improvement did not benefit
them In the slightest degree. Had the
contracting been properly carried out,
so as to bring about effective improve
ment, then there would not have been
so great an outcry against the assess
ment, it is urged.
Dump Rocks on Floor.
Eighteen- property-owners were on
the witness-stand during the day to
assure Court and jury that the Im
provement did not enhance the value
of their property. And to cap the cli
max, the wagon-load of huge boulders
was dumped into court, huge-muscled
huskies being required to convey them
to a conspicuous place at the feet of
the Jurors.
Most of yesterday afternoon was de
voted to a legal fight as to the admis
sibility of these boulders as exhibits.
Deputy City Attorneys Tomlinson and
Grant, who are representing the city's
interests, contend that the rocks are
not admissible because it has not been
definitely shown that they were culled
from the street In question. They ar
gue, too, that the mere fact that there
are a few replicas of Mount Hood In
the street doesn't . necessarily argue
that the improvement as a whole was
not effective.
R. It. Duniway. who is representing
the property-owners. Insists that the
boulders tend to show that the street
wasn't improved according to contract,
and that where half-ton stones are
placed on a contract calling for fine
rock the property-owners cannot be
held to pay for the work. The follow
ing property-owners appeared on the
witness-stand during the day:
T. H. Bechill, I. Buckman, M. Dant
off, O. W. Olson, R. R. Duniway, A. A.
Kadderly, D. B. Bush, C. A. West, Wil

BOYS WORK. CLEVER RUSE

If you happen to see some crying, rag
ged urchin on the street who has been
attacked and beaten by another boy who
is wringing his hands because of having
lost tlm "dime mother gave him to buy
a soup-bone for hia tiick father," don't
give way to easily-aroused sympathies
and give the lad a coin. Instead, call the
police.
Not one, but half a dozen teams of bad
boys are working that ruse in the city.
One pair of youthful swindlers was cap

for. The methods practiced are not the
same In all instances, either. There is
at least one boy in the city who has an
original scheme which Is yielding him a
large profit..
The two boys whose conduct was
brought yesterday to the attention of the
Juvenile Court have been reaping a small
harvest in the past, it te said. Their
names are withheld. In accordance with
the rules of the Juvenile Court, but both
are known to belong to South Portland
families which are in comfortable cir
cumstances. Placing themselves on a corner where
many people would pass and yet where
policemen are not likely to appear un
expectedly, the boys would suddenly en
gage in a fight. The larger boy, aged
about 11 years, would suddenly turn and
run away, leaving the smaller one crying
at the top of his voice and rubbing the
top of his Bhaggy head.
Naturally some tender-hearted person
would stop to console the child and ask
him what was the matter with him.

derange the system by disturbing the stomach and digestion, afiecting

Fifty defendants are named In a
suit affecting title to a small strip of
land. The action was filed in the State
Circuit Court, yesterday forenoon by
Phoebe Allen, who sets out that In
buying a strip of land from the re
ceiver of Edgar Allen's worldly effects
the title was not clear and as the
matter now stands she merely has ti

Martin Phllipps, keeper of a North

It was found that the complaint drawn
against him by the District Attorney's
office was defective and on motion of
District Attorney Cameron the case
was dismissed. Philipps conducts a

pany Contends Otherwise.
The suit of C. J. Bruschke against the
Pacific Coast Lumber & Manufacturing
Company of Corbln, Curry County, Or.,
and of Berkeley, Cal.. came to trial yes
terday afternoon before Judge Wolverton.
Bruschke is seeking to recover $6100
which he says is due him as salary on a
contract which he alleges was violated
by the lumber company.
In his complaint, Bruschke alleges that

company as general manager of the man
ufacturing plant at Berkeley and the
lumber mill at Corbln in November 1900,

swer that Bruschke had been employed
as general manager at $500 a month, and
contended he had been employed as su
perintendent at a salary of $200 a month.
The company also states that at the
time Bruschke was employed as general
manager he was a member of the cor
poration. Judge E. B. Walson and John
T. Hall, of Marshfield,. are attorneys
for Bruschke, and H. M. Cake and J. T.

WILLS ACTS .AGAIN
Asks Council to Revoke Three
Saloon Licenses.
MAYOR OFFERS TO HELP
Councilman Who Made North End
Raid Requests Auditor to Cite
Blazier and Zetos, to Ap
pear for Hearing.
Councilman Wills called at the City
Hall yesterday and instructed License
Inspector Hutchinson to cite Ed Blazier,
the proprietor of Erickson's and Max
Zetos to appear before the next meeting
of the liquor license committee of the
City Council to show cause why their
licenses should not be revoked. This Is
following out his recently-announced pol
icy of cleaning up some North End re
sorts that he says are too tough to be
allowed to run.
Wills last Saturday night conducted a
raid on Blazier's saloon, at Third and
Burnslde streets, when 36 men were
found seated at a poker table, playing
a game for money. They pleaded guilty
in the Municipal Court Monday after
noon and were fined So each, which Ed
Blazier paid.
Since securing a conviction of these
men. Councilman Wills announces that
he will follow up his action and endeavor
to secure revocation of their licenses, as
he says he does not consider such sa
loonkeepers worthy of a license. He
also found what he declares are bad
conditions at Erickson's. just across
Burnside street from Blazier's, and at
Zetos' saloon. 220 Sixth street, he caught
the proprietor selling liquor to an intox
icated man, which Is contrary to a city
ordinance. Mr. Wills had Zetos arrest
ed, and now proposes to have the license
revoked, if possible, and says he has suf
ficient evidence to warrant such action
by the Council.
Mayor Lane, when informed of th
proposed investigation of the three sa
loons at the instigation of Mr. Wrills. said
he would do all in his power to assist in
bettering conditions in any part of the
city.
"I am glad to see Mr. Wills taklnsr
such an interest In city affairs," said
Mayor Lane. "I will give him all the
help I can. I have always held that
the best way to straighten out a bad
ealoonkeeper is to take his license away;
I have often asked the Council to do
this in some cases, as there is no use in
employing policemen to keep tab on sa
loons where men are playing cards on
the sly, when the players do not have
money In sight when policemen enter.
The way to do it is to revoke the license
of any saloonkeeper where gambling Is
allowed, once it is established that he
allowed It."
There was a rumor yesterday to the
effect that ' Councilman Wills intended
Introducing a resolution into the Council
today, calling for an investigation of the
Police Department, but Mr. Wills denied

a delegation from Burns'. Or., yesterday
at the conclusion of "the Commercial
Club luncheon. By previous arrange
ment, the party from Burns met In the
green parlor of the Commercial Club,
at 1:S0 P. M., and a large number of busi
ness men were In attendance. It Is prob
able that many will go from Portland
to Burns next October.
A. II. Devers presided at yesterday's
meeting and alter making a short talk,
introduced Senator A. AV. Gowan, of the
visiting delegation. He spoke briefly
and William D. Hanley, pres-ident of
the Burns Commercial Club, invited the

COXTH tCTED DISORDERS.
You can depend upon a quick
jnd thorough cure by my treat
ment. A quick cure is desirable,
because a slow cure Is npt to he no
cure at all, and a chronic develop
ment will come later. I cure you
beyond the possibility of a relapse,
and in half the usual time re
quired. RKFLKX AILMENTS.
Often the condition appearing to
be the chief disorder Is only a re
flex ailment resulting from some
other disease. Weakness some
times comes from varicocele or
stricture; skin and bone diseases
result from blood poison taint, and
physlcai and mental decline follow
long-standing functional disorder.
My long experience In treating
men enables me to determine the
exact conditions that exist and to
treat accordingly, thus removing
svery damaging cause and Its ef
fects. ANAT
