TIIE MORNING OREGOXIAX, FRIDAY,
SAYS MONEY HAS
BEEN WELL SPENT
President George B. Moffatt,
of Oregon Electric, In- -
spects Properties.
PLAN 300 MILES OF ROAD
Declares That No Official Announce
ment of Company's Plans Can Be
Made Until It Is Ready to Pro
ceed With Constrnctlon.
While expressing complete satisfaction
with the Oregon Electric Company's pres
ent' lines as an Investment. President
George B. Moffatt, of N'ew York, yes
terday would not make any definite an
nouncement as to when the company
would begin building extensions to
Kugene or other points in the Willamette
Valley.
"It Is nof the policy of our company
to make announcement of Its Intentions
concerning extensions." said Mr. Moffatt.
"We simply build the roads when we are
ready and conditions justify the expendi
ture of the money. ,
"Our original plans called for the con
struction of some 300 miles of railroad
In the valley. We have constructed 70
miles and I have been here since Sun
day inspecting the property with the
Portland officers ,of the company.
Pleased With the Road.
"I will say that we are pleased with
the construction of fhe road, its man
agement and the attitude of the people
of Portland and of the valley toward the
company. If we decide to build more
lines were are not likely to say anything
about it until the rails are on the ground.
"There is one thing that should be re
membered by the people of Oregon, and
that is that capital moves along the lines
if least resistance. In railroad construc
tion encouragement and not obstacles
are needed from the Legislature. The
iproposal to levy a 2 per cent gross in
come fax on railroads is one measure that
is inimical to railroad construction. Two
per cent on the gross means 6 per cent
on the net earnings. The earnings of a
railroad are not so large that 5 per
cent can be thrown out without impair
ing fhe capital Invested. Wall street
is simply a great money market. We
bankers show tlte investors our wares and
the investors take what seems to them to
be best. Legislative encouragement goes
a long way toward making railroad se
curities desirable.
Cut Forest Grove Schedule.
"The only announcement I can make
concerning the company's intentions is
that as soon as the ballasting is finished
on the Hillsboro line the running time
to Forest drove will be reduced. When
the roadbed is in as good condition as
that of the Salem line there is no rea
son why the trains should not make as
good time to Forest Grove as they do on
the other.
"However, we do not intend to estab
lish a schedule on our roads that will
endanger the lives of the patrons or the
property of the company. We are proud
of our record as to accidents, not having
had a single one of importance since
operation commenced a year ago last
January. The Salem line is now operated
as an ordinary interurban trolley sys
fem. The roadbed, system of operation,
management and all are the same as
those of a steam railroad. The only
difference between our road and a steam
railroad is that we use electricity for
motive power."
Mr. Moffatt is a member of the Wall
street banking firm of Moffatt & White.
Speaking of financial conditions in the
Kast. Mr. Moffatt was very optimistic.
Financial Conditions Better.
"The state of depression when even
conservative Investments are unsought
has passed. The next stage is when in
vestments not absolutely certain but of
promising character are readily handled.
1 would not say that the country Is yet
back to the construction period. Rall
road extensions under way are very few
throughout the country at present, but
when fhe tariff question is settled and
the crops gathered the country will then
know just how It stands. There is a
constructive Administration in Washing
ton and confidence in the future is strong.
1 am as firmly convinced as I could be
that the country is about to resume its
era of development."
Mr. Moffatt arrived in Portland last
Sunday and will remain here several
days before returning to New York City.
BEGIN WORK NEXT MONTH
County Commissioners Heady to Ex
cavate for Xew Courthouse.
Kxeavation of the Fourth-street side of
the Courthouse block for the new struc
ture will probably begin some time next
month, according to the nnnoun-ement of
the County Commissioners yesterday.
Kids for the steel framework of the new
building will be advertised for within a
week, it is said, probably in K astern en
gineering Journals, in order to give con
tractors throughout the country a chance
to bid. It is thought that the steel can
be sunpPed within 1,0 ilsys. so that Lhe
work of putting up the new Courthouse
can commence September 1.
Beside the contract for steel and for
excavating, the Commissioners will let a
contract for tearing away the Fourth
street front of the old Courthouse, a part
of Judge Cleland's courtroom, the County
Auditor's office, and the front steps. Tem
porary braces will be put in to sustain the
weight of the east side of the old building.
It is thought that it will be necessarv- to
adjourn court durins the three or four
days which will be tequlred for riveting
each floor.

the latest devices for the rapid handling
of freight and is up to date in every re
spect, as 'far as tramps go. ,
Contrary to conditions which prevailed
last year, the outward fleet will consist
almost entirely of sailing craft. Last
year the business was handled almost ex
clusively by steamships. This situation
was brought about by the around-the-world
voyage of the American fleet of
battleships and the demand for coal. Ful
ly 80 per cent of the fuel for the war
ships was carried in foreign craft and
when the coal was delivered they were
at liberty to accept charters for home
ward cargo at less than prevailing rates.
Conditions have changed and shippers
are falling back on the sailing craft.
During the Summer there will be possi
bly a half dozen steamships on the Coast
available for outward loading. Several
cargoes of coal will come for the Gov
ernment and one or two of general mer

Civic Federation Declares Against
Alleged Sailor EvHs.
Before tne question of indorsing H. R.
Albee for the office of Mayor, at tho
meeting of the Civic Federation Society,
held in the Calvary Baptist Church, Wed
nesday night, the alleged evils of the sail
or boarding-houses were discussed. The
report submitted by Rev. John Ovall,
chairman of the committee appointed to
look Into their condition, recommended
the total abolishment of all sailor board-ing-hooses
in Portland and the substitu
ion of a shinninar master u-hnaa
should be $10.
B. M. Cederbergh. Norwegian "Vice Con
sul, who has taken great interest in thiB
matter, delivered an instructive talk on
tne evus or tne sailor boarding-houses.
Mr. Cederbergh said that while consider
able had been gained, much yet remained
to be done to emancipate the poor sailor
from the bondage of the boarding-houses
of this city, and declared for nothing
short of the total abolishment of all
sailor boarding-houses, and that sailors
be shipped with little cost to themselves.
He told Of the pffnrta . i ..
" .v . i ' ; icsiit-
tion on the subject, but that the sailor
mjns-uouses naa Deen strong enough
to prevent any effective action being
taken. Mr. Cederbergh maintained with
much force that the business and com
mercial interests of Portland were con
cerned In the complete emancipation of
the sailors from the domination of the
sailor boarding-houses, and declared that
at one time Portland was the blackest
spot in the world on account of these
boarding-houses.
After further discussion by L D. Ma
hone and M. C Reed, the Civic Federa
tion voted that the sailor boarding-houses
of Portland should be abolished and that
the society would work to bring this
about.

CURES
BLOOD POISON
RAILROADS TO HELP
Forest Service to Be Aided in
Fighting Fires.
NORTHERN TAKES THE LEAD
Telephone Lines Will Be Strung,
Regular Reports Made and Right
of Way Cleared of In
flammable Material.
Efforts are being made by the Forest
Service to secure the co-operation of the
different railway systems In fighting fires
which occur in the National reserves
tnrough which their railroads pass. E.
1. Allen. District Forester, reports that
negotiations along this line have nearly
been concluded with the officers of the
Northern Pacific. When the Forest Serv
ice reaches an understanding with this
company by which protection can be fur
nished the f-rests. an attempt will be
made to arrange the same assistance from
-he other lailroad companies.
Many of the fires in the forest reserves
originate from sparks from passing loco
motives. The plan of the Forest Service
is to hav3 the railroads keep escl. side of
their roadlied clear of inflammable ma
terial and. as a further precaution
against accidental fires, provide all engines
witn suitable spark arresters. The prompt
report to officials In the Forest Service,
in .the district in which the fires are dis
covered, and to station agents. !s desired
of members of the train crews.
It is proposed also to Introduce a sys
tem of warning whistles, where feasible,
otherwise to convey the Information to
the proper officials either by telephone
or telegraph. The officials of the Forest
Service will obtain permission from the
railroad companies to install a telephone
service through that part of every re
serve traversed by the different railroads,
the necessary wires to be suspended from
the railroad telegraph poles along the right
of way. The expense of installing such a
telephone service is to be paid by the
railroad company.
That employes of the Forest Service
may be enabled better to patrol the for
ests bordering on the railroads, permis
sion will be asked of the railroad com
panies to allow all such emp!oye3 to use
speoecrs over their tracks. In addition
to these concessions on the part of the
railroad company, the Forest Service of
clals agree to patrol the rail.oad right nf
way during the fire season and, with such
assistance In the way of labor which is
to be provided by the railroad companies.
expect to extinguish all fires in their in-
jipitney at a minimum of loss.
District Forester Allen also reports that
Dy arrangement between the proper de
partments at Washington, the Forest
Service assumes charge of nil protection
from forest fires occurring on Indian res
ervations. Formerly these fires have been
guarded against under direction of the
various agents of the different reseA a
tlons. The new system will be ;laced in
operation this Summer. The Indian agent
of each reservation will sup2rintend the
new plan of fire protection and at all times
co-operate with the officials of the Forest
Service in the particular district in which
the reservation Is located.
To- the Forest Service also has been
transferred entire charge of the sale of
all timber on Indian reservations. The
sale of this material heretofore has been
conducted under the direction of the res
