16 ENGINEER GOES TO INSPECT DAM SITE D. C. Henny Visits Deschutes Project That May Block Central Oregon Line. NEW RAILROAD IS FAVORED Government Anxious to Encourage Construction and Harrlman Is Expected to Proceed if Ob etacles Can Be Overcome. Supervising Engineer D. C. Hcnny, of the Reclamation Service, made a personal trip Into the IV-echutes Canyon yester day to look over the proposed Irrigation lam site about midway between the mouth of the river and Bherar's bridge. The report on the Ieschutes railroad, signed by Mr. Hcnny and Engineer Hopson. is expected to go forward to the depart ment at Washington today. It is ex pected that quick action will be taken on the, matter by the Secretary of the Inte rior, who Is familiar with the Deschutes situation, and that within a week or so the decision on the Deadlines matter will be annuunced from Washington. -The requirements of this report cannot be learned here, hut it Is understood it Is not unfavorable to the railroad planned up the Deschutes River. However, it is understood It will safeguard the Gov ernment Interests in the canyon so that if future reclamation work is decided upon by taking water from the Deschutes the railroad must make way for an irri gation dam In the canyon. It is re garded as certain that this stipulation will he contained In the recommendations. Whether tills will block the construction of the road Harrlman officials do not yet know, but It in thought now that con struction will be undertaken unless too many ohstacles present themselves. Private Com panics in Way. Among these additional difficulties that may stand In the way of the Deschutes railroad Is the stand of other power com panies Interested In the Deschutes Can yon. The railroad must, it Is thought, bring condemnation proceedings to cross dam sites held by, private interests and the prices for securing these rights of way may be prohibitive. In addition there Is the Oregon Trunk Railroad, that lias prior rights along a part of the distance sought to be covered by the Harriman road. Conferences have been held on the sub ject of the report to the Reclamation Serv ice between Engineers "Henny and Hopson. and General Manager O'Brien, Generai Counsel Cotton. Chief Engineer Boschke and Attorney Spencer, for the Harrlman Interests. It is understood that an un derstanding has been reached that indi cates the railroad will not permit the engineers' report to block construction. bit will proceed with the road, provided the. remaining obstacles are not too diffi cult to be overcome. It develops that the Reclamation Serv ice is almost as much interested In the building of n railroad Into Central Ore gon as tne Portland commercial interests. inout transportation to that part of ine state a number of important reclama tion projects already mapped out cannot go ahead. These projects are important and extensive. Chief of these, and the acreage proposed to be watered by them are: irooKpd Klver project. 100.000 acres; Ochoco. 18.000; Tumalo. 47.000; Rosland. BO.000; Chewaucan. 60.000: Ana River, 20.000 Pauline. 81.000: Rock Fort, 25.000; Bliver Creek. 31,000; Sllvies. 76.000; Blitzen, 75.000. Much Depends on Kontl. All of these projects depend upon trans portation Into Central Oregon, so that con struction materials may be taken in and so that settlers may reach the lands and means of transportation afforded for the marketing of products grown on the lands when once under ditch. None of these projects are feasible today, but the en trance of a railroad through the Deschutes Canyon would tap the entire district. Tills territory proposed to be opened up by irrigation works is the section of the state where the greater part of the rec lamation fund comes from, and the offi cials of the service feel obligated to give them early consideration. All they are waiting for Is a railroad. ' On this account, as -well as because of the great value to the commercial in terests of the state of a railroad Into the J i.n-LKr. m neciamation Service Is In clined to favor the Deschutes line all it can. However, there remains the Irriga tion project in the Deschutes itself, and it Is thought certain this will be protected In every way necessary. Just what rec ommendations will be made to cover this point cannot be known until the report Is submitted. Vntil Engineer Hennv re turns from the Deschutes Canyon the re port Itself will not be entirely formulated. This Is expected today, and then It Is thought the report will go forward to the department at Washington not later than tonight.

The delinquent tax roll in Multno mah County has been reduced to about J300.000, as about $60,000 was received yesterday by Deputy Sheriff Martin, of the tax department. A part of this t300,000. however, represents the sec ond half of taxes upon which the property-owners have made a payment of the first half. The second half does not become due until early in October. The entire tax roll amounts to $4, 681.497, about 14.281.497 having been paid. The taxes of all property-owners who have not paid in full, or the first half, are now, delinquent. A penalty of 10 per cent Is added, with interest In addition to this at the rate of 1 per cent a month. The tax depart ment was open until a late hour Mon day night, and a large number of tax payers took advantage of the last day to avoid paying- the penalty. But Deputy Sheriff Martin will not know for about three weeks how- much money was taken in, as his deputies are busy In checking up and listing the various amounts.

In yesterday's cable advices to the Merchants' Exchange the French bark Ville de Havre was reported arrived at Falmouth, having made the voyage from the Columbia River in 119 days. The vessel sailed December 6 with a cargo of grain, shipped by the North west Warehouse Company (McNear et al.), and her passage is considered be low the average, 136 days not being un usual.

That was two weeks longer than the slowest time made irom the Columbia. The record slow time from here was that of the German snip Aster, which was out 164 days. IS ARGO IX CONTROVERSY? Said to Be Misunderstanding Be tween Boat and Shippers. According to the Tillamook II...M there is some misunderstanding between inercnanis or this place and the owners of the "opposition" steamship Argo. that was placed on the run be tween Portland and Tillamook some months ago. Both sides of the contro versy are given in the following two statements made in the Herald, under the heading, "Argo Refuses to sign": TILLAMOOK. Or.. March 30. 1309 To horn It May Concern: w-a. your committee appointed by the shippers of Tillamook County to adjust matters regarding freight rates and to draw up a contract between shippers and the company that controls the steamer Argo. hereby report that we had mad-3 a contract between shippers and the Argo people, which was approved by their agent.

Stranded on the bank of the river at the northeast side of the Burnside bridge is tne oow or tne old Bailey Gatzert. disap pearing daily under the vigorous blows of an aged axman, careless of the part the gooa old steamer played in the upbuild ing of the city. With the name showing plainly black on the grey-white ground, at night, the old ooat appears as a specter ship, taking her last, long rest. Some Flying Dutchman of the Willamette and Columbia she might well be. And daily the ax bites Into her worn, tested timbers. Ten years ago every settler on the Co lumbia knew the old Bailey. She brought his mail and took away his produce. She was his link with the outside world. But she has passed out of his life and another boat has taken her place. ' He has for gotten her sen-ices and the man with the ax chops steadily. CVSTOMS RECEIPTS FOR MARCH Philippines Contribute Only 7 8 Cents to "Cncle Sam.

Admiralty courts are to be called upon. Recording to foreign advices, to adjudicate a novel case, growing out of salvage from a British vessel In Japanese waters. The case Involves a suit to be brought by the Northern Pacific Railroad Company for collec tion of freight charges on part of the cargo. The New York Maritime Reg ister makes the following report: A nice question of law Is Hkely to arise In connection with the wreck of the British steamer Adato, which has now disappeared irom vires. 'l ne cargo saved Irani the wrecked steamer was landed bv the Toltio Marine Insurance company and Messrs. Cornea & Co., Lloyd's agents, on behalf of the underwriters concerned. It is stated by Japanese papers that the Northern Pa -cirtc Railroad company, which undertook the transportation or a portion of the cargo. Is to Institute legal proceedings in the American courts against the insurance com panies (?) claiming payment of the freight. a xuKonama. paper says: "-in some quar ters the opinion is held that though It Is Impossible to lay down a fixed proposition In the absence of definite rules or usages applicable to such cases, it w-ould not be improper for the Japanese law courts to ac cept such a lawsuit aa said to be Intended by the American railway company (North ern Pacific railroad) inasmuch as the wreck occurred within Japanese waters. Suppos ing, they say, the American tribunal de cides in favor of the plaintiffs, it will have no means or enforcing its judgment except through the assistance of the law courts of Japan. For this reason th lawsuit is of & nature to be Instituted in Japan. Much attention is now given to the subject in legal and Insurance circles." SEASON HAS GOOD OPENING Bailey Gatzert Takes Nearly 200 Up Columbia River. With a good sprinkling of tourists among her 190 passengers, the river boat Bailey Gatzert opened the excursion sea son yesterday. This is about two weeks earlier than the opening last Spring, but the good passenger list proves to the com pany that no mistake has been made in starting earlier. After completing runs to The Dalles, the boat will lie over in Port land Thursdays. Now that the Bailey Gatzert has started on her regular run to The Dalles, the J. N. Teal owners have changed sailing time to 3 A. M.. being convinced that on the upper river she will pick up passengers that the Gatzert will be unable to handle, by leaving at the early hour. Yesterday afternoon It was said at the Open River l ransportatlon Company's office that every berth on the Teal had been taken for the trip today. CHANGES SAILING TIME SOUTH Portland & San Francisco Liners to Leave Saturday Mornings. On her next southward trip the Rose City will sail from Portland Saturday morning, instead of Fridays, as hereto fore, and the sailing time, will be con tinued during the Spring and Summer, the . vessel leaving at 9 o'clock. The change is made in order to permit pas sengers to view the Lower Columbia by daylight, which is believed will attract a greater number of tourists to the water route. There could be no complaint over the business of the northward trip, ending yesterday, however, for the vessel brought up 387 passengers and capacity cargo. About 100 of the passengers em- When a remedy has lived for over thirty years, steadily growing in popularity and influence, and thousands upon thousands of women declare they owe their very lives to it, is it not reasonable to believe that it is an article of great merit? .
