ON MADE
AS TO PORT FUNDS
New Commission Willing
Authorize Payment of Cur
rent Expenses.
to
EARLY DECISION EXPECTED
Otter Made to Permit Treasurer to
Liquidate Payroll, Interest Obli
gations and Money Dae. on
Finished Contract.
In what manner funds to continue
operations of the Port of Portland
Commission are to be obtained In ad
visee of a decision a to the. legality of
the act passed by the last Legislature
Is a problem that faces both the old
and new Commissions, and the new
Commission went so far at the regular
session yesterday afternoon as to In
form the body In power, through the
medium of a resolution, that it was
ready to authorise the County Treas
urer to pay over sufficient money to
liquidate current obligations.
An opinion by the Attorney-General
to the effect thst the County Treasur
er, for his protection, should not Aum
over to either Commission the funds
at his disposal until the Supreme
Court had decreed which organization
was In power, may stand In the way.
In advance, of the Attorney-General's
opinion a request was made by
the old board that the new Commission
sanction the payment of funds by the
County Treasurer, but the new Com
mission was unable to secure a quor
um. The members present yesterday
were President Gray." Vice-President
Collins. Secretary Marulre and Com
missioner Easterly. They authorised
the secretary to write a letter to the
members of the old Commission de
claring that "the Port of Portland
Commission Is willing" to authorise
payment for current payrolls, claims
on completed contracts and Interest on
bonds, and that the Commission will
also In like manner "authorize the
payment of such further or other de
mands as shall seem to It to be for
the best Interests of the Port of Port
land." Secretary Maa-ulre delivered a copy
or the resolution at the City Hall head
quarters of the old Commission and
when an adjournment was taken It
was with the understanding that the
meeting would be resumed at II
o'clock this morn In r to deride what
should be done. It was the Impression
of the new Commissioners that those
In power desired no further aid In a
financial way than would be neces
sary to care for the April payrolls and
expenses, because It Is thought that
by June 1 the Supreme Court will have
passed on the rase.
It was said that If Clerk Doyle, of
the old board, authenticated the ac
counts, the new Commission would be
willing to authorize the treasurer to
pay over enough money to meet them.
President Gray said that he knew the
Port of Portland required the money
Immediately, that the occasion was an
emergency and that he favored action
that would result securing the funds.
If possible, without delay.
REPORT SENT BY WIRELESS
Vessels Complying With Request to
Test Equipment.
When the steamer Rose City, arriving
Wednesday evening, was off the CoquilJe
River. 1M miles from Fort Canby. Cap
tain Mason caused to be sent a wireless
report requested by the Department of
Commerce and Labor. The report Is de
sired from all vessels carrying the aero
equipment so as to ascertain which have
plants that can send at least Iu miles.
The message was signed by Captain
Mason, as well as the wireless operator.
After reaching Washington the message
will be copied and forwarded to Col
lector of Customs to guide them In the
enforcement of a Federal law, effective
July 1. which compels all passenger
steamers sailing to ports 3l4 miles dis
tant to be equipped with wireless.
While the forwarding of messages is
not obligatory, all lines are complying
with the suggestion and making known
the name of each vessel, nationality,
latitude and longtitude In which they
were when sending, the name of the
operator and master. In speaking of the
benefits derived from wireless and other
modern gear with which steamers of the
San Francisco A Portland Steamship
Company are fitted. Captain Mason said:
"In the report of the steamboat in
spection service for the fiscal year It Is
set forth that the loss of life In passen
gers and crews for the entire United
States was ITS persons of a total of ZJS,
K&Ouv carried, a ratio of one-one thou
sandth of 1 per cent. That makes travel
by water safer than by any other mode
of transportation."
i '
CAISSON" IS GAINING DEPTH
Broadway Bridge "Sandhogs" Work
ing Decreased Hours.
When an additional five feet has been
gained on the West Side pier of the
Broadway bridge, which Is the first
caisson to be lowered In connection with
the building of that structure, a perma
nent foundation will have been reached
and the two shafts completed to a height
15 feet above low water, upon which will
rest the steel cylinders to support the
superstructure. Yesterday's reports
showed that the caisson had been low
ered 81 feet since sinking was begun,
and for the past two days operations
have been slower because gravel was
struck. It Is thought that the material
Is not of a cement formation, such as
was encountered when sinking the last
caisson of the Harrlman bridge, which
caused a delay of several weeks because
blasting was necessary.
The crew of "sand hogs" has been In
creased again, because at the M-foot
depth the shifts are of only two
hours duration, each man working only
four hours a day. The wage scale in
creases also with depth, so that while
laboring shorter hours than when first
employed, the workers receive Increased
vages. The second caisson Is completed
and ready for launching from impro
vised ways between the elevator and
Oceanic dork, and will be lowered on
the East Side. It Is known as No. 7
caisson. No. S caisson has been started.
As only the two piers In deep water are
to be faced with granite, those on the
east and west bank can be built rapidly.

who yesterday discovered the location of
a leak In her hull which had given con
siderable trouble on the voyage across
the Pacific. Captain Crowe said that
a plug had worked out of a plank on the
port side forward, where It was driven
to cover the head of a bolt, and appar
ently torredoa or other wood-deatroylng
Insects had been at work on the Inside,
so that virtually all material around the
bolt was eaten away.
The leak being slightly above the water
line prevented "a great amount of water
from pouring In. only the wash being
dangerous. When she entered the river
the trouble stopped. When the vessel
was shifted to the Portland mill yes
terday to load lumber a new planlc was
fitted and she Is again seaworthy.

300 HOMESTEADS TAKEN
MAXT FILINGS MADE OX 82 0
Acre Tracts ar Bend.
Large Percentage of Newcomers
Are From East 50,000 Acres
Monthly Are Settled.
BEND. Or.. May 4. (Special.) The
effect of the great Influx of colonists
Into Central Oregon during the last
four months, and especially during
March, when low passenger rates were
In force, le shown by the number of
Government land filings made before
United States Commissioner Ellis here
since January 1. Approximately 300
persons have filed on 320-acre home
steads, taking up 96.000 acres of agri
cultural land. All of this la In Crook
County and lies tributary to Bend.
Commissioner Ellis estimates that the
entries made here are only about half
of the number In the entire county, as
many were made at The Dalles and
Prinevllle. On the basis of this esti
mate, nearly 200,000 acres have been
entered so far In 1911. or 50.000 acres
a month. The biggest business was
done during: March, and since April 10
there has been a marked falling off,
howing that a large percent of the
homeseekers are from the Eastern
states. The entrymen have come from
vlitually every state In the Union, and
mnny are foreign born. A majority of
the homesteader are unmarried, but
Commissioner Ellis eays he believes
that each entry represents at least two
persons, as many of the newcomers have
families. This being the case.' 600 per
sons have been, or soon will be, added
to the population of the territory trib
utary to Bend.
To accommodate the settlers in the
country southeast of here, the Govern
ment has established two Postofflces In
the last two months. Millican. 25 miles
from Bend, and named In honor of
George Millican, a pioneer etockman
of that section, is already opened, with
Mrs. Mabel C. Tozler, formerly of Eu
gene, In charge. Another office, W'hlta
ker, 10 miles farther out, has been es
tablished, but the Postmaster has not
yet received a commission to open it.
A etudy of the filing: records here
show that Seattle has sent more home
seekers Into Central Oregon than any
other city or community. In the Whl ta
ker community there are 25 former
residents of the Puget Sound city who
have filed on claims.

Worked Three Weeks
in Last 10 Months
S. F. Robb, of Poplar- Bluff. Mo.,
writes: "I am a farmer of the Iron
Mountains. I have had rheumatism for
the last ten months. I purchased a
pair of electropodes and have had gseat
results from them. I have worked
but three weeks in the last ten months
gnd now I am working- on my farm
every day and think I am getting
well."
John McArthur. of Bowlus, Minn.,
writes: "Enclosed please find $3 for
which please send me three pairs of
Electropodes. I have used two pair of
your Electropodea now. When I began
their use I was not able to make a step
without the aid of crutches, now I am
able. to get around nicely with a cane
and believe another pair will complete
ly cure me."
Rheumatism, nervousness, neuralgia,
backache, liver and kidney complaints
are caused by excess urlo acid. Medi
cine can only temporarily counteract
the effect, while electropodes remove
the excess uric acid and all other poi
sons and impurities, from the system.
The result is prompt relief and a per
manent cure.
What Electropodes have done for
others, they can do for you. Nothing Is
so convincing as the actual test. Elec
tropodes will convince you. ' Wear a
pair 30 days absolutely at our risk.

Woods, who left the service of the
Commission last week. When the Nor
wegian tramp Sark sailed from Astoria
Saturday. It Was Pilot Woods who
guided her through the channel to sea
and delivered her at Victoria, where
she called en route to Adelaide.
Following a reduction of one-half In
pilotage rates between Astoria and the
sea last season, which was generally
assumed to have been brought about
through the success of the independent
pilots, three of the latter were em
ployed by the Port of Portland, but
last week Superintendent Campion, of
the pilotage and towage service, de
cided that It was time for the annual
vacations to begin as business was
slack, and Pilot Woods was ordered "on
the beach." It was yesterday reported
that he was about to leave for San
Francisco to bring a tramp steamer
here and he will probably continue to
compete with the commission service
until trade Is better, when he will be
offered his former berth.

MANSER ESTATE IN COURT
Strange Court Muddle in Adminis
tration of Baker Affair.
BAKER. Or.. May 4. (Special.)
A motion for re-hearing In a case of
great Interest in this city has been
filed In Circuit Court. Some time
ago. William Baker was removed as
executor of the estate of the late
Andrew Manser by the County Court
because he had not filed an inventory
of the estate within 30 days after
his appointment, and because he had
not asked for an extension of time.
Another reason given for his removal
by the heirs was that he- was appro
priating funds of the estate to his own
use, and was not administering the af
fairs honestly.
The action of County Judge Basche
was upheld by Circuit Judge Smith
when the case was appealed. He based
his opinion entirely on tlje fact that
the Inventory was not filed within
the time limit, and did not consider the
charges of fraud brought against
Baker. In view of the sensational
nature of the case, the motion for re
hearing la most interesting as Gustav
Anderson, representing Baker, filed a
sworn affidavit by ex-County Judge
Messlck, which states that more time
was applied for in the case during
his term of office for the reason that
one of the appraisers of the estate was
out of the city. He said he granted the
extension, but made no order in , the
matter, not deeming it necessary. Mr.
Baker also filed with the County Clerk
all the assets of the estate which tal
lies with the Inventory, which would
tend to show that there had been no
fraudulent administration.

Dr. A. G. Smith.
I am the only specialist In Port
land who does not advertise a fic
titious name or photograph.
I publish my true photograph,
correct name, personally conduct
my office. . I am the most success
ful and reliable, as medical cre
dentials . and press records prove.
I make this statement so that yon
will know you consult a true spe
cialist, who sees and treats pa
tients personally. I possess skill
ind experience, acquired in such a
way that no other can share, and
should not be classed with medical
companies. It is impossible for
a medical company to attend col
lege. Companies have no diplomas
or license to practice medicine in
Oregon or any other state. Medi
cal companies usually are named
after a doctor. A portrait, whose
personality and identity are in
definite, is selected and published
as the legitimate specialist of the
office. Hired substitutes, ordinary
doctors with questionable ability,
give consultation, examination
and treatment.
