THE MORXrN'G OREGOXIAX, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1909. 14 GIG DRYDOCK IS PUBLIC BENEFIT Surveyor to Lloyds, L Veysey, Objects to Leasing Port's Property. CONSOLIDATION IS SCORED Should Corporation G?t Control of Portland Dock It Would Be Easy, Ho Says, to Combine to City's Detriment. PORTLAND. Nov. 26. (To the Editor.) Havlnir been asked to express my views regarding the leasing of the Port of Portland drydock to a private company I will, with your Indulgence, endeavor to do so through the medium of your paper. First I will take up the probable ef fect on the shipping industry of this port 1 in particular and the Pacific Coast In sYnernl. As I am surveyor to Lloyds' RcrlRter of Shinning for the State of Oregon and both shores of the Columbia River, discretionary authority is invested Jn me in cases of classed ships (which are mostly foreign) arriving in my dis trict in a damaged condition, and un til repairs are effected to my satisfaction, the vessel is off her class. Underwriters Stand Cost. Prior to our having the above drydock, which is a public utility for the sole benefit of our port, vessels naa oeen sent to dock, elsewhere when absolutely necessary, and underwriters have had to assume this extra cost and risk 01 trans rtortation. On many occasions, vessels would have 'docked for cleaning and painting only. liml there been a drydock here. -m should this DUbllc utility be leased to a private company, they would be In a position to consolidate with the other drydocks on this Coast, ana con seauentlv could control all drydock re pair work coming within their respective districts, to the exclusion of all other comnetitlon. This mav result in the raising of AnrV rate and the cost of repairs to such an extent that owners and under writers of vessels (especially foreign) coming to this port and Coast In a dam aged condition, would instruct their mas ters and representatives to euecx tern nnrjirv reDairs only. (providing that Uovds" surveyor would give them a sea worthy certificate.) and have permanent repairs done in another part or tne world. With this In view. It can be readily seen that our local and Coastwise shipping would suffer the most from probable advanced rates, as they, at, some time or other, must go on a drydock on this coast.' Furthermore, the premiums charged by the Marine Underwriters would have to be Increased on all shipping, both for eign and local, to meet this extra ex pense. Taxpayer Is Affected. I will also give my views as to what effect the leasing of the Port of Portland drydock would have on the city, or In other words, the taxpayer. From the figures given In the issue of The Ore gonlan of November 14. the gross earn ings of this drydock averaged $20,247.87 per year, which I am presuming accrue from the actual docking of ships. The cost of operating the dock per year averaged J14.920.47. added to which is $37,311.10, to cover Interest and deprecia tion, making a total of I52.231.E7. These figures show an average deficit of J31.983.70 per year for the taxpayers to pay, and presumably this la so, ac cording to the statement. But, It must not be overlooked that these vessels had to be docked it must have been for re pairs, some of which have been exten sive, or for cleaning and painting. Now assuming that the average total cost of these repairs amounted to twice the amount of the dock earnings, the tax payers would certainly have received some benefit from the circulation of, say $40,000, which may be increased In the .future, when it is considered that ship ping has been dull for the past two years. Another Feature Possible. Another feature of the leasing would : be possible, vlx., that if a monopoly of the drydocks of this Coast was formed : the Port of Portland dock may be only 'used when absolutely necessary, and while the lease may probably provide for keeping the .dock in good order, except for ordinary wear and tear, if it was not used, deterioration may probably be more than it would be if ' the dock was used, and such deteriora tion may be considered as ordinary wear and tear. After the lease had expired, say in three years, who could estimate, now, the cost to the taxpayers of restoring The dock to a first-class condition? The efforts of the Port of Portland Commission, composed of prominent gentlemen of the olty. to better the in terests of the taxpayer is to be riighly appreciated, and sucu action as they may finally decide on will. I am conn dent, be only taken after due consider ation of what really is best for all of the above interests. L. VETSEY. Surveyor to Lloyds. AXOT1IEII OPPOSES BIG LEASE Captain Crowe Answers Corbett's Defense of Drydock Deal. PORTIiA-ND. Nov. 26. 4To the Editor.) Referring to the letter appearing in The Oregonlan November 24, and signed by TV. H. Corbett, president Oregon Drydock Company, there are some remarks, es pecially those of a personal nature, that call for a reply from me. Mr. Corbett Is Justified In assuming that the leasing of the Port of Portland drydock Is a matter of serious concern to the public and In the abeenoe of any figures or statements of benefits to accrue from such lease, it Is not surprising that the comment to date should be unfavorable thereto. All unfavorable comment on and objection to the leasing of the Port of Portland Dry- dock by the Oregon Drydock Company could have been promptly stopped If the president of the latter company. Instead of his somewhat heated letter, had writ ten a calm statement of the benefit to the Port of Portland, shipowners and un derwriters to be derived from the pro posed lease. Assuming that such state ment could be truthfully made, it could have been proven by figures showing present cost of operation and mainte nance, dock dues, receipts and disburse ments for the year 1909. and his estimate of like figures under the proposed lease. As to his remarks about Captain Crowe, of the firm of Anderson St Crowe, it is quite true said firm Is In the ship lining end ship repair business, and very ac tively. It Is also true that Captain Crowe, of said firm. Is not only surveyor, but spent, for the San Francisco Board of Harine Underwriters, and as such, sur if veys vessels, makes specifications for re pairs, makes such repairs when he or his firm makes the lowest bid. and also cer tifies to the condition of such vessels after repairs have been made, whether by his firm or others. The San Francisco Board of Marine Underwriters was well aware of the busi ness Captain Crowe was engaged In when it appointed him agent and surveyor, and has found it beneficial to the Interests represented by It that Captain Crowe should continue his business of ship re pairer. Up to this date, no complaints have been received from the said board or shipowners affected about any business attended to by Captain Crowe In his vari ous capacities: hence, we may dismiss that part of Mr. Corbett's letter referring to this combination of duties as being of no Interest to the public nor affecting in any way the leasing or non-leasing of the Port of Portland Drydock. N I was Informed that a close combina tion existed between the various drydacks of this coast and that the Port of Port land drydock.would Join the same, should tne proposea lease oe consummated, sit. Corbett having made a positive statement that no such organization exists, nor in process of formation. I am exceedingly glad to accept such statement as con clusive evidence that I was misinformed and trust no such Is contemplated. My solicitude about the proposed lease and my reason for opposing it, 18 that, as agent for the San Francisco Board of Underwriters, my principals expect me to use every proper effort to prevent any condition that may result in added ex pense for repairs to vessels. My experi ence In longshore work leads me to fear that, should the Oregon Drydock Com pany control both docks. Its managers might fix dock dues at such figures as would enable It to make an appreciable rebate to the Willamette Iron & Steel Works. Mr. Corbett being president of both companies. This would enable the Willamette Iron A Steel Works to under bid competitors and eventually drive them out of the business, thus giving Mr. Cor bett a practical monopoly, which may explain my personal Interest as a member of the ship-repairing Arm of Anderson At Crowe and at the same time may give the desired enlightenment to Mr. Corbett. If Mr. Corbett will give equally plain reasons for desiring to lease the Port of Portland Drydock. and they should ap pear as beneficial to the public as those I have riven for opposing the project. will certainly withdraw all objection to the proposed lease, and will work heartily for Its consummation. A. CROW SQUAT RIGHTS MCCH LAXD AT STAKE IX SILETZ LAXD CASE. Federal Court Asked to Enjoin Far ther Occupation by Persons AVho Followed Original Locators. try I A case of far-reaching consequence was argued and submitted In the United States Ctourt. yesterday morning, when Attorney A. W. Lafferty appeared and asked that a temporary injunction be granted by presiding Judge Bean, re straining certain squatters from further trespassing upon land In the SUetx Indian .Reservation. It was claimed by Attorney Lafferty that squatters were in possession of cer tain lands and denying their use or con trol to those persons who were their right ful owners. Upon the decision of the court will In measure depend the solution of a ques tion as to ownership of a large number of land claims, it being stated that from 150 to 200 families have squatted on lands since the particular quarter-sections were withdrawn by the Department of the In terior. The particular claimants mentioned In the cases presented o the court were Arthur B. Lawton and Chester V. Hare, two Portland worklngmen. who settled upon lands near Falls City, In Lincoln County. In 1902. They filed under the homestead act, and claim to have estao lished homes and actually resided upon the lands for a period of 14 months, when they appeared at the land office and com muted their entries by making cash pay ments. It Is alleged that tne depart ment of the Interior delayed the issuance of patents for a number of years, and In 1906 sent out its order withdrawing all lands in that reservation from entry. The claims of Lawton and Hare were in the meantime examined by a special agent of the land office. After Lawton and Hare had submitted their commutation proofs It Is alleged that Mrs. William Blrkenfleld and August Birkenfleld then entered upon the claims of Lawton and Hare, where they have since resided as squatters, and with the expressed determination of establishing a preference right of entry when the lands should be again opened to settlement by the Interior Department. If the court should grant the petition for an injunc tion K will act as a writ of ejectment. The cases are considered to be tests of the rights of many persons who settled In the SUetx reservation under conditions similar to those under which the two Portland citizens attempted to acquire title, and the decision is regarded as being of the utmost Importance. ' Criminal Cases to Be Set. It is announced by United States Judges Wolverton and Bean that the civil and criminal dockets of the United States Courts will be again called at 10 o'clock Monday morning, December 29. A Jury has been summoned for -that date and all cases will be set for hearing. The new courtroom is expected to be in readiness for the use of litigants in equity cases. PESTHOUSE SITE WORRIES Kelly Butte Residents Object to Pro posed New Location. Strong opposition has developed to the erection of a county pesthouse at the Kelly Butte property, on the Section Ltne road. The pesthouse west of Portland was destroyed by fire some time ago, and it Is proposed to build another on the property the county owns at Kelly Butte. E. A. Nlblln, who owns extensive acre age northward, and represents other own. ers In the same neighborhood, made his objections known to the County Court yesterday. Mr. Nlblln says the location and erec tion of a pesthouse on the Kelly Butte land would be a serious menace and dam age to the property Interests and he wilt oppose such location. The city Is mov ing steadily out toward the Kelly Butte and soon It will be In the Immediate suburbs. Mr. Nlblln said yesterday that If the county should place the pesthouse at the top of Kelly Butte there would be no objections from anybody, as It would be removed from contact with the settled districts and would be several hundred feet above the surroundings. It is In time of sudden mishap or accident that Chamberlain's Liniment can be relied upon to take the place of the family doctor, who cannot al ways be found at the moment. Then It Is that Chamberlain's Liniment is never found wanting. In cases of sprains, cuts, wounds and bruises Chamberlain's Liniment takes out the soreness and drives away the lain.

RIVER SERVICE UNPROFITABLE Rocks Below Riparia Cause Suspen sion of Traffic to Lewiston. LEWISTON. Idaho, Nov. 26. (Special.) Service into Lewiston by the Open River Transportation Company will not be re sumed until March. Suspension of traffic Is due wholly to the condition or the Snaker River channel between Riparia and the mouth, which makes operation of the steamers unprofitable except when the water is above the four-foot mark. F"rom Lewiston to Riparia the channel has been Improved so that steamers can navigate with 100-ton capacity. Below Riparia the channel Is , narrow and crooked, with numerous hidden rocks that limit the cargo to 60 tons. Officers Going East for Steamers.
