In fact. It has now become a question
ss to Just how far the War Department
has the right, under the United States
sr-atutes. to regulate the draws. On the
..i i .. i ..wltv nwr the local
bridges was given to the County Court
by action or tne state ietsiaiaimo.
Railroad Bridge Xot Included.
Th Aiirt'a order does not include the
railroad bridge, for the reason that this
structure Is owned by the u. it. at
Company, and although the county rents
the upper deck, the court has no Juris
diction over the orwge. ine orarr
sued to the chief engineers of Burnslde
snd Morrison bridges yesterday, which
defines the hours during which the draws
shall be kept closed, follows:

Purpose or Order Explained.
In explanation of Its order the court
Issued the following; accompanying; state
ment: Realising that the traffic across the brtdcas
which spaa the Willamette Hirer In this cttj
has bwoma so heavy that any unusual or
i ii mi i j opening of the draws causae great
coogestloa of audi traffto, to the sartous In
convenience of a large percentage of the pop
ulation of this city, the County Court, arnica
operetta the drawbrMraa. has decided to put
Into effect the ragulailoaa In regard to the
opening of the draws as outlined In draw
bnoga bulletin No. 1.
The court has endeavored Is this schedule
to so arrange It as to relieve the eongastton
as moca as possible at tbe hours when the
traffic IS heaviest, at tbe earns time keeping
tn mind tba navigation Intereata. We fael
mat the public Interest demands a change In
the present method, and will put Into effect
ah la eehedule.
The affect of tala schedule will be oloarly
watched and revtstoa made If found neces
sary. Copies of tbe order were served upon
representatives of the transportation
companies and upon the bridge tenders.
A letter was also sent to J. P. O'Brien,
general manager of the Oregon Rail
road Navigation Company, calling his
attention to ths order and to the fact
that the county pays for the use of
the upper deck ot ths railroad bridge,
together with ths suggestion that it
would be to the best Interests of that
portion of ths public tributary to it if
he would Instruct his engineers to ob
serve tbe new schedule.
Interference Not Expected.
While tbe county officials do not an
ticipate early Interference on tba part
of ths Federal authorities, tbey declare
that they, will contest any action that
may be brought by ths 11 protesting;
transportation companies In the courts,
"We feel sure of our position." said
Commissioner Ooddard, "and will carry
the case through the court of last re
sort If necessary In order to determine
our rights. We are prepared to make
a test case of It- But I don't see any
reason for opposition to our action If
people stop to consider ths rights of
tbe entire public.
"Since tbe publication of tba first no
tice that we would attempt to change
ths draw schedule I have received a
great deal of encouragement and have
heard ths hope frequently expressed
that our efforts would succeed, la my
Investigations I have board only one
person sxpress objection to our pro
posed action and he went so far as to
say that we should have no bridges at
all below Burnslde street- This person
even declared that ths Oregon Railroad
aV Navigation Company and the South
ern Pacific should have been forced to
cross the river south of Burnslde street.
Small Boats Can HeJp.
"The schedule which ws havs adopted
is Intended, particularly, to provide for
persons who are compelled to reach
their destinations at 7 o'clock or
o'clock in the morning. It gives both
these classes ons-half hour after cross
ing; the bridge to go to their places of
employment- Ths schedule for the
afternoon was thought to be one that
would suit ths largest number of peo
ple, including those who leave their
places of employment at o'clock, as
it gives them until :10 to cross the
bridge on their way home.
"la looking Into this subject I havs
learned many things about river traf
fic that may assist ns In the future.
One Is that many of the smaller craft
can expedite ra altera to a great extent
and avoid many openings of the draw
now necessary If tbey Inform them
selves of ths height of their vessels,
snd also keep advised as to the stage of
ths river. Many times they can pass
under the bridge quite safely Instead of
calling for the draw.
"To facilitate matters, ws will estab
lish water gauges at all the bridges,
which will show ths amoont of clear
ance. Tbe gauges will be provided with
figures so large that captains going
through one bridge can read them at
the next.
Flreboat Has Right of Way.
"Bv the terms of our order the lire-
boat has the right of way at all times,
but I understand this boat frequently
calls for the draw when It Is unneces
sary. By observing the clearance figures
I think the flreboat can pass under the
bridge most of the time, excepting
when the river Is unusually high.- If
our regulation works a hardship upon
any person It should be remembered
that we have endeavored to benefit the
majority of the people.
"As soon as the vessel men become
accustomed to the hours they will
regulate their movements to conform
with the schedule and I don't think
anyone will suffer. We have tried to
take Into consideration the time of the
various vessels' leaving port.
"We have had the advice of the Dis
trict Attorney and feel reasonably cer
tain of our position. Even should the
Federal authorities contest our action
we will carry the case through the
courts until every means at our dis
posal has failed or until we have been
vindicated."
Judge Cleeton declares that the
Legislature has given the County
Court the right to regulate the draws.
His perusal of the Federal statutes, he
says, has failed to disclose a law upon
which the United States authorities can
contest the court's action.
Federal Law Quoted.
The only possible ground upon which
the Federal authorities could claim
Jurisdiction is section S of chapter 299,
of the enactments of Congress in 1896,
which Is as follows:
That It shall be the duty of all persons
owning, operating and tending drawbridges
now built or which may hereafter be built
across the navigable rivers and other waters
of tbe United States, to open or cause to be
opened the draws of such bridges under such
rules and regulations as In the opinion of
the Secretary of War the public tmereete re

Mclndoe Waits Instructions.
Major Mclndoe. the Government en
gineer, refuses to sanction the court's
action. At the same time he does not
openly oppose It. It is thought that
bs Is waiting; for orders from Wash
ington, where the Interests of the pro
testing transportation companies are
being laid before the War Depart
ment. The Government is now on tne de
fensive In the conflict. Tbe key to
the situation Is In Major Mclndoe's
hands.
Assistant United States District At
torney Walter G. Evans yesterday gave
an opinion as to the status or tne law
on the draw question. The Federal
prosecutor had been requested to co
operate with District Attorney Cam
eron, and after an exhaustive examina
tion of the statutes he declared that so
far aa the Portland situation la now
concerned, tbe full power to regulate
the opening and closing of the draws
Is In the handa of the Executive Board
of the City Council.
Federal Lawyer Gives Opinion.
In 14." said Mr. Evans, "an
amendment was attached to the appro
priation bill providing that persons
owning draw bridges over navigable
streams should be required to open
tbe draws under such regulations as
GEORGE WOOD, LOUIS M. VAMVER AND A. M
the Secretary of War should prescribe.
Court action was provided for the en
forcement of the regulations. Justice
Fields held in the Chicago case that
the convenience of ctles was paramount
in this question and that the state has
the right to control, in the absence of
specific regulations by the Secretary of
War. Therefore, In my opinion, the
state has a right to establish regula
tions In the absence of action by Con
gress and the Secretary of War.
"Under the charter of Portland, the
Legislature) delegated to the Executive
Board the right to regulate the streams
within the boundaries of the city. It
may be found In section 216. It Is
my opinion that any regulations pro
mulgated by the Executive Board as
to the opening and closing of the draws
will be binding unt'I such time as the
Wsr Department shall Issue a set of
rules controverting; the action of the
Executive Board.

PORTLAND IS BOOSTED
"COMMEROAI GIAJfT" FEA
TURED IX REALTY JOTJRXAIi.
Henry E. Reed Contributes Article
on Substantial Growth and Nat
ural Advantages of City.
In the last number of the National Real
Estate Journal, published by R. L. Polk
& Co., in Chicago, Henry E. Reed, of this
city, contributes an article under the
caution. "Portland A Commercial Giant."
I This sets forth at some length the
strides Portland is making and the ad
vantages that have made possible those
strides.
"Here is a city," he ears, "which ia
growing faster. In proportion to its pop
ulation, than any other city In the coun
try. Portland's growth is substantial. ItJ
Is founded on the settlement ana De
velopment of the tributary territory,
where people are making new homes and
literally pulling wealth out of the
ground."
The Importance of Portland as a rail
road center Is dealt with at length, and
the fact that 82 passenger trains each
day arrive at and leave the city, besides
the trains on the electric lines each way.
Is given due prominence. The situation
of the city, where It is the natural out
let of the whole Oregon country, em
bracing 800,000 square miles and adding
8500.000,000 worth of products to the
wealth of the Nation each year, is
touched upon, and the fact mentioned
that since 1891 Portland has expended
$3,000,000, raised by general taxation, for
deepening Its channels to the Pacific
Ocean. Then the shipping statistics are
given.
"Portland does not boom spasmodical
ly," says Mr. Reed. "It grows steadily
and substantially. Between 1890 and 1895.
when many cities lost population, Port
land gained 24.000 Inhabitants. It was
the most active city in the United States
In the 18 months following the general
business depression that began in Oc
tober, 1907."
Then follows a long list of facts about
the city, tending to show Its importance
as a trade center and the extent of its
wealth and opportunities. The article is
illustrated with views of Portland's
streets-and parks.
In the same number of the Journal ap
pears a page advertisement taken by the
Portland Realty Board, and about 20
smaller advertisements of Portland real
estate firms.
The National Real Estate Journal cor
responds to a trade paper and has a Na
tional circulation among real estate men.

WORK WILL BE HURRIED
Each of 800 Camps of Pacific Juris
diction Will Appoint Depnty Or
ganizer to Help Increase) Mem
bership of the Order.
Lawyers had their Inning at the con
vention of the Woodmen of the World
yesterday afternoon, when it came to
discussing the proposed new trial pro
cedure, and code of discipline. They
took the report of the committee on
legislation, dissected it. whipped It
around posts, dragged it over the floor
and put it all back together again.
Latin phrases with long English ap
pendages of explanation were hurled
back and forth, only to be nolled by
lay delegates. The new procedure was
finally adopted so that defects com
plained of In the old practice have been
eliminated.
Desiring to wind up the convention
Wednesday evening, the delegates de
cided yesterday morning to expedite
matters by taking up the most import
ant proposed amendments to the con
stitution first, disposing of the detail
matters later. The committee on legis
lation was asked to propose Its most
important amendment, and Chairman
A. E. Sunderland, of Fresno, CaL. im
mediately presented an elaborate plan
of organization.
Lodge Proposes to Grow.
The amendment provides that each of
the 800 camps in the Pacific Jurisdiction
shall appoint a deputy organizer of Its
own. and in addition there shall be 26
organizers working directly under the
head camp. With this force of work
ers It was considered that the order
will be given a great Impetus and the
amendment was enthusiastically adopt
ed. The old organization scheme was
under control of 40 men, working as
representatives of the head camp.
The amendment providing that the
printing of the Pacific Woodman be let
to the lowest bidder did not come up,
but there was a considerable discus
sion outside of the convention. Three
years ago the editor of a publication
in Southern California, known as The
Ax, submitted a bid lower than the Arm
that received the award. It developed
that The Ax did not have the union
label, and it was also asserted that 1
was the Intention of the editor to turn
the work over to a nonunion publishing
house in San Francisco.
Unionism Made an Issne.
As a big majority of the Woodmen
are union men. the board of head man
agers threw out the lowest bid and
gave the work to the next lowest bid
der, which Is a union publishing house
In San Francisco. It is pointed out by
those behind the amendment that the
order is paying $30 a month In excess
of the bid of Tbe Ax, while those who
are against the amendment say the
union label is worth more than 'that
amount to the organization.
Efforts are already on foot to pre
vent the Issue of non-unionism being
Injected Into the proceedings, and in
lieu of the .adoption of the amendment.
It Is said an attempt may be made to do
away with the publication of the Pa
cific Woodman.
The special committee considering
the request of Mrs. Carrie Van Orsdal)
that men whOBe wives or daughters be-
long to the Women of Woodcraft be ad
mitted to membership of the women's
auxiliary although they are not Wood
mesi. asked for more time to consider
the matter and was given until this
afternoon to report.
Per Capita Tax Unchanged.
The committee on good of the order
recommended that the present per
capita tax of $1.80 a year for expenses
of maintaining the organization be re
tained. Some wanted to reduce the
tax to $1.50, but the convention voted
to retain the old standard.
WOOD MEX. MAY SECURE BOXDS
Convention Considers Purchase of
Broadway Bridge Securities.
It is now believed that the Woodmen
of the World will take over the re
mainder of the first installment of
$250,000 of the bond Issue for the Broad
way bridge, amounting to $150,000,
which is being considered by the head
camp of the order this week. The mat
ter was placed oetore tne neaa camp
by City Auditor A. L. Barbur, who Is
prominently connected with the order,
and it is understood that assurances
were given that the Investment Is con
sidered as good as can be found.
As nearly 6000 members of tbe order
live in Portland, it is understood that
they are bringing their local pride to
bear In the matter and are hopeful that
the investment will be made. H. M.
Carr, general attorney for the head
camp, has bad occasion to Investigate
investment opportunities In all the
large cities of the Pacific jurisdiction
of the order and recently said tnat
Portland offers many Investments such
as appeal to the head camp. The val
idity and solidity of Investment bonds
are left entirely in his hands to pass
upon, and there is no doubt In the
minds of local Woodmen that. If the
head camp decides to Invest a portion
of its surplus funds In Portland, the
result of Mr. Carr's examination of the
bond issue will be favorable.
If the head camp decides to take
no the bonds, the city will be prepared
to let contracts at once for the first
work toward construction of the bridge.

Woman's Power
Over Man
Woman's most glorious endowment is the power
to awaken and hold the pure and honest love oi a
worthy man. When she loses it and still loves on,
no one in the wide world can know the heart agony
she endures. The woman who suffers from weak
ness and derangement of her special womanly or
ganism soon loses the power to sway the heart of
a man. Her general health suffers and she loses
her good looks, her attractiveness, her amiability
and her power and prestige as a woman. Dr. R. V. Pieroe, of Buffalo, N. Y., with
the assistance of his staff of able physicians, has prescribed for and cured many
thousands of women. He has devised a successful remedy for woman's ail
ments. It is known as Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It is a positive
specific for the weaknesses and disorders peculiar to women. It purifies, regu
lates, strengthens and heals. Medicine dealers sell it. No honest dealer will
advise you to accept a substitute in order to make a little larger profit.

SICK WOMEN WELL.
