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.

ROLL REDUCED TO $300,000
Delinquent Taxes Being Paid at
Sheriffs Office.
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.

The vessel sailed December 6 with a
cargo of grain, shipped by the North

While anything under 120 ilnva is con

between the British ships Manx King

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":

Argo people, which was approved by their
agent. Mr. Chase, and which said people
now refuse to sign.

Stranded on the bank of the river at the

an aged axman, careless of the part the
gooa old steamer played in the upbuild

With the name showing plainly black on
the grey-white ground, at night, the old

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

she has passed out of his life and another
boat has taken her place. ' He has for

SUE FOll FREIGHT CHARGES
Northern Pacific to Bring Action for
Hauling Salvage.
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

enormous demand and maintained it for so many years as
has Lydia E. Pinkham' Vegetable Compound, the famous
