18 THE MORNING OKEGONIAS. THUUSDAT, -JUNE 30, IDIO. PUTT DISCUSSES CITY'S PROBLEMS Contempt Shown by Public Service Corporations Cited .: by Board Member. COUNCIL HELD AT FAULT Lack of Co-operation in Control of Streets Is Alleged Increase in Engineer's Salary and New , Sewer System Needed. "One of the most serious matters with which the present street committee of the Executive Board has had to deal has been the contemptuous disregard of the public service corporations, not merely for the city officials, but for the rights of the public," declares Robert T. Piatt, a member of the street com mittee of the Executive Board, in a statement issued yesterday. Mr. Piatt ects forth in a vigorous style some of the difficulties met by the committee and board and recites the troubles en countered in dealing with $6,000,000 worth of hard-surface pavements. Mr. Piatt takes the stand that the City Engineer is underpaid; that he should receive not less than 600 a month. Instead of 200, that he should be a permanent employe and should have assistants enough to handle the reat volume of work passing through he office in proper manner. The charge is made that the Execu tive Board could not get the co-operation of the City Council in an effort to secure an ordinance whereby a fine could be levied against anyone cutting the streets open without authority from the board. He also declares that, in the near future, the West Side must have a new and modern sewer system or sooner or later suffer a pestilence, and tells of the rapid growth of the city in all directions and of the efforts being made by the administration of Mayor Simon to cope with the situ ation. Mr. Piatt's statement, which is made in reply to an attack on the administra tion by Robert S. Farrell, follows: Statement by Mr. Piatt. Under date of the 16th inst., Robert B. Barrell published a letter in The Oregonian. making a vigorous protest against cutting into newly laid hard surface streets, and Instanced two re cent occurrences of that nature upon Ivejoy street and closed his communi cation as fpllows: "Where lies the blame City Engineer's incompetency, or too much business? Silence answers Unsatisfactory to Robert S. Farrell." I have waited, hoping that the Mayor, the City Engineer or the chairman of the street committee of the Executive Board would take notice of this protest and place the present administration in a proper light before not only Mr. Farrell but the public generally, with reference not only to the matters cov ered by Mr. Farrell's communication but many other similar protests of an unwritten nature, which are current. In the first place, as to the City Engineer. I believe him to be a thor oughly conscientious, competent and much overworked but very painstaking and efficient man. For a paltry stipend of $200 per month he is handling, at the present time, over $6,000,000 worth of current street improvements and Bewer work. His assistants are equally underpaid and are entirely insufficient In number adequately to take care of the vast amount of improvement going on in this widely scattered city. As to the diagonal gash, 150 feet in length, on Iovejoy street, referred to in Mr. Farrell's communication, this was done by the Pacific Telephone & Tele graph Company without any authority from the Executive Board, and whoever in that corporation was responsible should have been vigorously punished Under some criminal statute applicable to such a case. One of the most serious matters with which the present street committee of the Executive Board has had to deal has been the contemptuous disregard of the public service corpora tions not merely for the city officials but for the rights of the public When the present Executive Board came into office, we found that the various pub lic service corporations, and as far as that goes, a good many private con tractors, were slashing into the public streets without permission whenever it Buited their business requirements so to do; not only this, but they were do ing so in Winter time and back filling the trenches so made with mud and refuse in entire disregard both of the property owners who had paid for the pavements and the public who must use them. Winter Work Under Ban. At the instance of the present street committee of the Executive Board, act ing in conjunction with the City Engi neer, the Executive Board has adopted a procedure whereby no hard-surface street-can be opened between Septem ber 15 and May 1, that is to say the rainy season, except upon an agreement that when the trench is closed the material taken therefrom will be re placed with sand or gravel. The pur pose of this provision is to prevent the rotting of the bitumen elements en tering into hard-surface pavements bv the damp earth and mud which was formerly used to fill the excavations. It should also be understood that no hard-surface street can be opened with out written authority from the City Engineer. Acting on behalf of the Executive Board, the writer went before the street committee of the Council and requested that body to pass an ordi nance providing for a criminal penalty by way of a fine for any excavation of a hard-surface street that was not so back filled. Notwithstanding the unanimous report of Its street commit tee in favor of this suggestion of the Executive Board, the Council failed to pass such ordinance, owing, I am In formed, to the contention of one of its members that such a provision - would Increase the cost to the householder of the plumbing Incidental to the connec tion of a dwelling-house with water, fras and sewer facilities. Notwlthstand ng this lack of co-operation on the part of the lawmaking department of the city government, the Executive Board will continue its policy, and per mits will be refused hereafter to such ?ublic service corporations and con ractors as do not obey the provisions of the permits, even though they can not be punished as was desired for an individual violation. Taking up the other branch of Mr. Farrell's protest, it is not possible in a city growing by leaps and bounds as the City of Portland is to altogether refuse applications to cut Into the new ly paved hard-surface streets, although earnest endeavor Is being put forth by the City Engineer's office and the street committee of the Executive Board to minimize this admitted evil. We re cently refused a permit to the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Company to cut into Alder street between Fourth and Fifth streets, on the ground that there being two buildings in course of con struction on the half block on the north side of Alder street between Fourth and Fifth streets, the connec tions desired for those two buildings, which were the real object of the re quest, could be accomplished without the permit requested. It often happens, however, that prop erty is improved, owing to change of ownership or otherwise, after the hard surface improvements have been laid, and it Is not possible or equitable to refuse property owners so improving their property permission to connect their buildings with water, gas, sewers and telephone service. It should also be borne in mind that there are ordi nances in the city of Portland which era mandatory, and which compel tele phone and telegraph companies to place their wires underground in order to do away with the unsightly poles and the hazard to property and life of overhead wires, and the Executive Board cannot, in the orderly administration of the af fairs of the city, refuse a proper re quest seasonably proffered. At the same time, it is the announced policy of the Executive Board to regulate the granting of such requests wherever possible. Municipal Conduit Advocated. It may not be inappropriate at this point to say that the municipal conduit system, suggested, and, to some extent, advocated under the administration of Mayor Lane, is what ought to have been put in force. Like many another municipal improvement of large scope. It would cost a considerable amount of money at the outset, but it would have been a scientific, harmonious and easily administered municipal facility once it had been installed, and instead of hav ing the spectacle of several public serv ice corporations digging up the same street, to lay down their various facili ties, there would have been one simple, adequate and comprehensive municipal conduit, wherein privileges would have been rented by the city government to the various public service corporations requiring those facilities, at a price sufficient to have paid an adequate re turn upon the cost, and with a suffi cient sinking fund. It has been well said that when you find a city with its streets in some confusion and considerably torn up, you FOUNDER OF FORBES PRESBV. TGRIAN CHIRCH GIVEX COLLEGE HONORS. Rev. W. O. Forbe. Rev. TV. O. Forbes, of this city, founder of the Forbes Presby terian Church in this city, and for many years Its pastor, has again received college honors, the honorary degree of doctor of divinity having been publicly conferred upon him June 8. Dr. Forbes is now doing general mis sionary work in Washington. will find a city that is growing with great rapidity, and when you find a city with no street work in progress, and no excavation, and no inconveni ence to the public, you will find a dead city. The citizens of Portland, generally, perhaps do not fully appre ciate the extent of the hard-surface campaign of the present administra tion. Unless something interferes to prevent there will be hardly a street on the West Side of the Willamette River, within the ordinarily traveled section, except in South Portland, that will not be improved by hard-surface pavements by the close of the present paving season. A very great volume of improvements is taking pace on the, East Side at the same time. More than 18 miles of hard-surface pavement have already been laid this season, and more than four miles a week are now being laid by the five companies actively en gaged in the business. The citizens of Portland were promised by this admin istration 90 miles of hard-surface im provement for the paving season of 1910. Unless there is an early and rainy Fall there is every prospect of this promise being fulfilled. What that means for a newer and more beautiful Portland everyone who reads can understand. What Portland is doing in the way of street improvements must soon be done, particularly on the West Side, in the way of a comprehensive sewer con struction. The West Side has a- large number of small sewers, built, many of them, a good many years ago to ac commodate a scattered residence popu lation. This scattered population Is now being succeeded by a vast army dwelling in apartment-houses and hotels, with a like congested popula tion in the huge office buildings. The sewage, thus vastly , increased, finds an entirely inadequate system of sew ers to properly take care of it. One of the burning city questions today. In its bearing upon public health, far more important than parks, boulevards or bridges, is the question of proper dis posal of the sewage of the new Port land. The day is nft far distant when a great trunk line sewer will have to be constructed running from Ross Island on the south to Swan Island on the north, protected by a sea wall for the entire distance, ,in connection with which main trunk line sewer there should be an entire reconstruction of the sewer system of the . West Side. This will cost money, a very large sum of money, but the failure to appreciate its importance, and to seasonably build and complete the same, is to invite the pestilence that is sure to come, if re liance Is had upon the present inade quate system of sewers. These street and sewer problems em phasize the necessity of the creation by the City of Portland of a permanent city engineer, such as we have in the water department, and such as has made the nubile improvement work of the City of Seattle so effective. It is wholly impossible that a competent, ambitious man can be held In the office of the City Enginer at the salary of $200 per month. An office which has to do not only with the public conveni ence, but the public health, should not only be permanent, but it should be adequately paid. The City of Portland today has a competent, earnest-minded City "Engineer. I would crystallize pub lic sentiment so as to demand not merely the retention of this official, but to make his retention possible by pay ing a salary commensurate with his labors and the great responsibility re quired. Such a salary should not be less than $600 per month, and he should be provided with assistants, pafa pro portionately and sufficient in number to handle the vast amount of public improvements that lies before this awakened municipality. POSTMASTER ON JOB TODAY Charles B. Merrick Will Work One Day Without Pay. Charles B. Merrick will be inducted into the position of Postmaster of Portland at 10 o'clock today. . The bond furnished by Postmaster Merrick has been approved and a notice was re ceived yesterday morning that the new man take charge of the business. There will be no ceremony connected with the affair, and the hour may be changed, all depending upon the time Mr. Merrick reaches the office. A list of all Government property has been prepared by Assistant Postmaster Williamson, and in taking these over the new Postmaster will give his re ceipt. Invoices of stamps, cash and valuable paper will be completed to night, at which time Mr. Merrick will fill out a receipt for everything on hand and thereafter be encumbered with the responsibility of looking after approxi mately $1,000,000 per annum for the Government. Mr. Merrick will work one day with out pay, his salary beginning with the opening of the fiscal year July 1. 1 6 EUREKA IN DANGER? Frightened Passengers on Vessel Draft Resolutions. CONGRESS IS PETITIONED Travelers Who Say They Were Four Days In Need of Succor Would Have Law Compelling All Craft to Equip With Wireless. Encountering rough weather on the voyage to Humboldt Bay, which they say continued four days and placed their lives in Jeopardy, 20 passengers on the steamer Eureka, which is due today on her first round trip, have pe titioned Congress to enact a measure compelling all passenger craft to be equipped with wireless aparatus and to communicate with shore at least once every four hours. Local officers of the North Pacfio Steamship Company say the Eureka might have been buffeted about some what by the northwester that has pre vailed off the coast for over a week, but scout the idea that conditions aboard her were perilous. They as sert that she is an excellent sea boat STEAMER UilEIXIGESCB. Due to Arrive. Name. From Hercules. ...... HonKkonK. Data. In port Beaver........

S and while small, is one of the best craft that could be secured for cross ing bars of outer harbors. The Geo. W. Elder and Roanoke are equipped with wireless, as is the Santa Clara, which is being repaired, but it was said yesterday that it had not been determined to keep the Eureka on the Portland-Humboldt Bay run and for that reason she has no wireless. Captain Thomson, master of the Eu reka, has been in some of the largest vessels on the Coast and has had a long experience as master of ocean going tugs. The petition, which was compiled at sea and forwarded from Eureka, is appended: At sea, on board the Eureka, about 40 miles off the Northern California shore, June 21. To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America. We, the undersigned passengers of the above-named vessel, all en route from Portland, Or., to Eureka, Cal., on above date, hereby petition your honorable body and respectively show: That whereas, during the progress of the present trip this vessel has for nearly two days encountered dangerous- storma and heavy seas and the lives of all on board were in great peril. And whereas. If accident shall happen to said vessel, we consider the llfe-preservera and lifeboats at band of little or no use in saving the lives of the passengers in such rough seas at the above-named distance from shore. And whereas, this vessel, as well as the other coastwise passenger vessels, are not equipped with wireless telegraphy whereby relief may be sent for, in case of danger. And whereas., the lives of the passengers of this veasesl have been In great danger for four days with no means of communication for help, while such means is attainable at a slight expense and should be required by law on all vessels carrying passengers. Now.' therefore, we, the undersigned, re spectfully ask: That all American vessels carrying passengers be required by law to be adequately equipped with wireless teleg raphy and that reports as to the safety of the passengers of each respective vessel shall be made at least once in Xour hours while at sea.

SAX PEDRO PATRONIZES NORTH Increased Steamer Service Proves Advantageous to Local Jobbers. Greater commercial results for Port land jobbers and manufacturers in the Southern California territory are prospec tive through the determination to extend the Harriman steamer service to San Pedro, for the Beaver, sailng Saturday, already has 300 tons of cargo for that port and the steamer Roanoke, of the North Pacific fleet, sailing last night, had a large share of her 1200 tons booked to consignees in Los Angeles. As yet no great amount of northbound cargo is promised, but the Harriman in terests will make a strong bid to handle the fresh fruits and vegetables grown in the south for the local market, particu larly during the Winter period, when large shipments of vegetables are made, packed in ice. As the steam schooners offer low rates for handling large lots of lumber, the liners are precluded from engaging in that business, but small lots of hurry orders, comprising special mate rial, will be In many cargoes. COLUMBIA BAR BUOYS SHIFTED Best Water Pound AVestward of Present Locations In Channel. Changes In the Columbia River bar channel, which is said to have shifted westward, where the best water is, has resulted in an order being Issued by Commander J. M. E'licott. of the thir teenth lighthouse district, for Clatsop Spit buoy No. 2 to be moved a distance of 2500 feet westward. It also has been determined to shift the south channel bell buoy and the outer buoy, the latter a first-class nun, in the same direction, so they will be in line with the mid-channel buoy and the Cape Disappointment light station. The changes are to be made immedi ately, and it is said they will prove a material convenience to mariners, as they will have a straight course through the entrance. Oneonta Going to Sea Friday. Plans have been made to give the tug LORD NORTHCLIFFE ON SEASICKNESS Gentlemen: Tour letter of the 14th of September reached me on my return to England from a Journey to New foundland and back, during which I have een and heard abundant evidence of the fact that Mothersill's Seasick Remedy appears to be, in nineteen cases out of twenty, an absolute cure for mal-de-mer, and also for what Ameri can call "Car-sickness." I have taken it on many occasions, with excellent effect and no after-effect. You are quite at liberty to make use of this letter, as I think it a duty to express my opinion- on the subject.

Oneonta her first sea bath Friday, when she will cross the Columbia River bar in command of Captain John Reed. The new vessel, which was yesterday turned over to the Port of Portland Commis sion by the Willamette Iron & Steel Works, will leave for Astoria at 8 o'clock In the morning, with Captain Reed at her helm. Chief Engineer A. B. Hughes in charge of her machinery, and C. H. Norrlin, her cesigner, and Harry Campion, superintendent of the Port of Portland towing and pilotage, as passengers. She will relieve the tug Wanderer, whose charter expires to morrow, and will be returned to her owners, the Puget Sound Tugboat Company. Columbia Slough to Ship Lumber. Columbia Slough is to bud forth as a shipping point, and the first cargo of consequence to be turned out there will enter a territory that local manufacturers have not reached in years. South Africa. The Pacific Export Lumber Company, which is to load the British steamer Towergate for J. J. Moore & Co., has purchased the material on the slough and the vessel Is to start working there August 10. She will cary about 3,000,000 feet. Flour Shipments on Increase. At least 2500 tons of flour will be dispatched from Portland to the Orient July 10 on the Norwegian steamer Her cules, and there are prospects that an other large lot will be loaded aboard the steamer Rygja, which is due July 24. The Hercules will finish today at Alaska dock and shift to 'Oceanic to begin working , flour, while 250 tons of wheat will be taken and 500,000 feet of lumber. Paul Fulgence's Body Recovered. Word was yesterday received by offi cials of the Shaver Transportation Com pany that the body of Paul Fulgence, deckboy on the steamer Cascades, who was drowned in Beaver Creek, had been recovered. The accident took place a week ago yesterday. A representative of the corporation will go to Clatskanle to identify the body, which will be buried there. Ship Carpenters Flocking North. Lack of boat construction at San Francisco Is assigned as the reasons for so large a number of unemployed ship carpenters being in the city, and each morning application is made at local yards for work. Joseph Supple formerly consigned cars of shipknees regularly to the Bay City, but for the past two years' the demand has prac tically ceased. Marine Notes. From Wallace Slough another cigar shaped raft is to be started tomorrow for San Diego. The tug Hercules is due In the lower harbor today and she will tow the raft south. Having completed taking on spruce, the American bark Pactolus was yes terday shifted from the Standard Box Factory to the Inman-Poulsen mill for the remainder of her cargo. Rock, placed aboard the launch Grace M. for the purpose of giving her greater draft, so open seams would soak and swell, caused her to sink at the foot of Stark street yesterday. Preparatory to being raised on the Port of Portland drydock today, the Government dredge Chinook was yes terday towed to the dock from the -St. Johns plant of the Marine Iron Works. Clearances at the Custom-House showed that the steamer Fair Oaks, whioh went to Tongue Point last night, loaded 15,000 railroad ties, and the steamer Cascoe will leave today with 550,000 feet of lumber for San Fran cisco, while the steamer F. S. Loop goes later with 850,000 feet. Movements ot Vessels. PORTLAND, June 29.

Healthy cuticles are only possible where the circulation is pure; and there fore the cure of any skin trouble can only come from a thorough cleansing of this vital fluid. Salves, washes, lotions, etc., cannot cure. True, such treatment relieves some of the itching and discomfort, helps to reduce in flammation. and aids in keeping the affected parts clean, but it- does not reach the blood, where the real cause is located, and at best can , only be palliating and soothing. S. S. S. cures skin diseases of every character and kind, because it purifies the blood. It goes into the circulation and removes the humors that are causing the trouble, builds up weak, acrid blood, and completely cures Eczema, Acne, Tetter, Salt Rheum, Poison Oak, and every other variety of skin affection. "When S. S. S. has driven the humors from the blood, and purified the acid-heated circulation, every symptom passes away, the cuticle is again nourished with rich, healthful blood, and comfort is given to disease-tortured skins.
