Arjruments 'presented by r. F. Dor

Company, did not wrr to convince the
members of the City Council's Investi
srattns; committee, at lt session yes
terday afternoon, that there Is no dan
cer from fire or explosions In storage
tanks. They so expressed themselves
after hearlnic his argument concerning
the plana for rehabilitation of the
vreckU plant on East Salmon afreet.
In the rentral business section of the
East Side.
"I want to say now, so that you will
not think that I am Intending; to fa
vor your plans, that I never can rote
In conscience to have your tanks lo
cated In the same place and In the
same manner that they were." said
Councilman Baker, chairman of the
committee. "Iwant to srlve your com
pany a full hearing, but I don't want
you to tblnk that I have changed my
Mas about there being danger in an
oil plant. There Is an element of dan
ger in them.
Protection In View.
"Now. as a member of this commit
tee. I have do desire whatever to work
a hardship upon oil companies, but
right now this committee has a duty
to perform and we want to protect the
Interests of the city properly, so that
there will never be an occasion tor re
rret on our part or for criticism by
the people. ,
"From all I have heard about oil
tanks. I think they are safe when suf
ficiently Isolated." said Councilman
'Wat kins.
Councilman Burgard expressed the'
belief that the oil tanks should not be
allowed In the central section of the
city.
Chief Engineer Ho r wood was present
with copies of his plans for the pro
posed new plant of his company. These
he exhibited to the members and to
Acting Fire Chief Laudenkloa. to whom
they were finally referred for a re
port. Plans Said to Be Safe.
The plans, as shown, are said by En
gineer Ivrwood to be of the latest
pattern and to provide absolute safe
ty against fire and explosion. The
tanks are to be built not less than six
feet above ground and plenty of ven
tilation Is called for In the roof of
tanks, that any gases generated may
have a means of escape.
"There Is not as much danger In
these tanks, constructed after these
plans, as there is in two-thirds of your
mercantile houses," declared Mr. Dor
wood. "I know that there Is no dan
ger whatever In them, for we have
given this subject long and careful
consideration and are building our new
liouses and tanks according to Scien
tific plan."
"Why didn't you make some recom
mendations as to alterations In the
F.ast Side tanks. If you knew they
were Improperly constructed?" asked
Councilman Baker. ,
"Well. we were making some
changes." replied Mr. Dorwood. "We
have been altering some of our tanks
and did not get to that one In time."
A communication to the committee
from City Attorney Grant, In regard to
use vf an oil tank by the Portland Gas
at Coke Company, was considered and
t.-.e committee decided to Inspect the
tank, which holds about 4000 barrels
of 01L

Se'on yesterday afternoon, when the
police committee of the Executive
Board was discussing the advisability
t-f i-hansrtnt; the style of headgear for
the department.
It was decided by the committee to

years atio. or whether they prefer to go

Chairman Coffey brought the subject
to the attention of the committee by
saying that he had heard many com
plaints about the caps; that they are
too hot In the Summer and too oold In
the Winter and that they do not suit
the patrolmen very well. A vole will

Championing treated wood blocks as
one of the best, if not the best pave
ment, and declaring that Portland Is
overlooking one of the greatest possi
ble Industries by neglecting to use these
blocks for street Improvements, J. N.
Teal yesterday mailed to Mayor Rush
light a letter setting forth facts and
figures for his consideration.
Mayor Rushlight believes wood
blocks are a good pavement also. In a
recert Interview he so expressed him
self. hi-i esked about the contract
awarded to the Carbollneum Company
for paving East Morrison street, from
East Water street to lnlon avenue.

LAND BOARD HEARS

Settlers Tell Their Grievances
Over Working of Irriga
tion Projects.
SOME COMPANIES BLAMED
Officials Return From Inspection of
Projects In Southern and Cen
tral Oregon Much of Com
plaint Hard to Adjust.
6ALEM. Or., July 13. (Special.)
Red-faced and sunburned, but still In
the ring, members of the State Land
Board and tbe Desert Land Board re
turned this morning from a trip
through Southern and Central Oregoa,
where they have been Inspecting the
various projects.
Though In many cases they found
dissatisfaction and contention among
the settlers over some of the Carey act
projects, nevertheless the country will
support as many people as Western
Oregon farming regions when It Is de
veloped, according to State Treasurer
Kay.
The boards. Including Governor TV est,
State Treasurer Kay, Attorney-Oeneral
Crawford and State Engineer Lewis,
left Salem on the evening of July 4.
"Our first stop was at Klamath
Falls." said State Treasurer Kay.
Thence we went by automobile to
Lakevlew. Thence we visited Warner
Valley, where there Is a proposed Irri
gation project. 60 miles from Lakevlew,
"While the company there has ex
pended 150.000 on preliminary surveys
no actual work has been done. It Is my
Impression, although this is not the
opinion of the Board In general, that
this project Is not practical. It will
be necessary tp bring the water over
1U mues or. rougn, xiuiy country aiiu iu
develop the land will cost the settlers
approximately 70 or 180 an acre. When
It Is taken Into, consideration that the
land will cost that much and 'is 60
miles from Lakevlew, the nearest
market I believe tne land will coat
more than the crops will return to the
settlers. .
"At Paisley we Inspected the project
of the Portland Irrigation Company,
Including 20,000 acres which the com
pany has been working on for nine or
ten years. Only the preliminary sur
veys have been completed, however.
We heard many complaints from the
settlers, whose universal opinion
seemed to be that the Board should
cancel the contracts with this company.
"Regardless of these difficulties this
Is one of the most favorable projects
which we visited. It Is Inexpensive to
secure water for the lands and It Is
easy to water all parts of the land.
Those parts which are watered produce
excellent crops.
"Among the other projects Inspected
were the Deschutes and the Central
Oregon project and we went through
Agency Springs.
"We found on our trip that many of
the companies have not been properly
looked after In the past and that
there Is now cause for much complaint
that will be difficult to adjust. Many
of the contracts made are not favorable
to the settlers.
The object of the trip was to give
the new Board an Insight Into some
of the difficulties contended with and
to give us a better knowledge of con
dltlons so that we may pass on these
irrigation matters more Intelligently,

white men," said Ed son Watson,
superintendent of the Klamath Indian
reservation of. Klamath Agency, who
waa In the city as a witness before
the grand Jury yesterday. "The whites
procure liquor In quantities ranging
from a pint to a quart and make a
business of bringing It onto the reser
vation and disposing of It to the In
dians at an advance of about 2i cents
over the purchase price of each flask.
It Is d"e to this Illegal sale of liquor
that the great bulk of trouble on the
reservation results. But for whisky
the Indians would be comparatively
peaceable and law-abiding.
"Sale by the Indians of their inherited
lands in the reservation has begun.
Over 400 patents have already been ap
proved and nearly as many more await
favorable action by the department.
These lands sell for from $800 to $3600
per 160 acres, depending on the charac
ter of the land. The proceeds derived
from these sales are placed in the bank
to the credit of the Indian disposing
of the property and are expended In
making Improvements on allotted lands
retained by the man making the sale.
Sometimes an allowance not exceeding
$26 a month Is made for the use of
the Indians."

POLICE BAND ACCUSED
PLAYERS ACCEPT PAY, SAYS
MUSICIANS' SECRETARY.
Union Delegate Complains to Execu
tive Board and Sentiment Is
Against Force's Trumpets.
Charging that members of the Port
land Police Department band accept
mioney for their services, while working
for the city and wnue using city time,
and that they "take the bread from the
mouths of those dependent upon the mu
sical profession for a livelihood." C.
atoll, secretary of the Musicians' union
and member of the Workingmen's Politi
cal Club, appeared before the police
committee of the Executive Board yes
terday afternoon and asked that the
members take steps to correct the abuses
alleged.
After discussing the charges the com
mittee decided to postpone action for
two weeks, in which time a conference
will be held with Mayor Rushlight and
Chief Slover, to work out a solution of
the problem.
Secretary Stoll declared that ne knows
of Instances where the policemen in the
band have taken money for their serv
ices, when they were supposed to be
working for the city. They have been
active in taking work away from the
regular musicians, he said, and they
have taken awoy a good aeai or dusi-
nets already. He said that be and
others interested had been unable to
find any authority in the city charter
for the maintenance of a band In the
department, and he believed thet the
band exists In defiance of charter and
civil service regulations, which are to
the effect that no policemen shall en
gage in any other work.
The muslglans nave no aesire to see
this band out out of commission," said
Mr. Stoll, "but we do insist that they
shall not play for money and that they
shall confine their operations to the de
partment exclusively. They have been
taking money for their work; they have
taken the bread and butter from the
mouths of professional musicians and
have gone so far as to dress up civilians
in nollce uniforms on occasions to fill
up the required number. We maintain
that these things are contrary to law."
Chairman Coffey and the other mem
bers of the committee expressed the be
lief that the police band Is out of Its
proper channels In playing for any un
official occasion, and it Is believed they
will order this nractlce stopped. Chief
Slover said that he had already decided
to order that no more Sunday morning
practices be held by the band, and he
agreed with Mr. Stoll that running a
band Is not police business.
A hill for 50l rent for tne use or rooms
in tha Union bloc was called to the at
tention of the committee. This has been
naid every month for more than a year
by order of the former police commit
tee. The police Dana uses tm. out aw
is also used to a certain extent as a

CONCLAVE
Gus C."Moser Is Delegated to
Get Commercial Law
League to Come.
ENVOY RIGHT ON GROUND
Crmmerclal Clubs and Other Bodies
of Coast Work for City and Con.
ventlon to Be Delnged With
Telegraphic , Invitations.
Encouraged by the winning of the
Elks convention for Portland in 1912,
the Commercial Club has completed ar
rangements for a campaign in Atlan
tic City next week to obtain the 1912
convention of the Commercial Law
League of America, an organization
having In Its membership many thou
sands of commercial attorneys.
To assure victory in the campaign the
club has delegated Gus C. Moser. who
was potent In winning the Elks con
vention, to go to Atlantic City and ex
tend Portland's invitation. Armed with
letters from the Governor of Oregon,
the Mayor of Portland and practically
all of the Coast Commercial Clubs and
Industrial organizations from L'os An
geles to Vancouver, B. C. Mr. Moser
has telegraphed that he is certain of
victory.
The convention, while not one of the
large ones of tho country, is considered
one of the most Important because of
the prominence of the league's mem
bers and the fact that they demand the
best of everything. It is said the
convention, If won for Portland, will
bring no fewer than 6000 persons to the
city and the attendance may run as
high as 8000.
Moser Ready to Convince.
Mr. Moser Is on the way to Atlantio
City, where he will begin a campaign
at once. While Mr. Moser is at work
in -Atlantic City the entire Pacifia Coast
Is helping Portland win the convention.
R. W. Raymond, of the convention de
partment of the Commercial Club, says
he has been busy for several days and
has obtained the support of the fol
lowing Industrial organizations:
Tacoma Commercial Club, Walla
Walla Commercial Club, the Seattle
Commercial Club, Southern California
Development League, the Helena De
velopment League. "Vancouver Island
(B.tC.) Development League. Spokane
Chamber of Commerce, Tacoma Cham
ber of Commerce, League of Southern
Idaho Commercial Clubs, Seattle Cham
ber of Commerce and several others.
Letters containing the keys to the
state and city were sent yesterday to
Mr. Moser by Governor West of Ore
gon. Mayor Rushlight of Portland and
a hearty invitation was sent by Gov
ernor Hay, of Washington. All of the
commercial organizations have ar
ranged to send simultaneous telegrams
to the convention Monday night. This,
it is believed, will do a great deal to
ward winning the fight for Portland.
Bar Also Ass'sts.
The Multnomah Bar Association
through President Harrison Allen has
also taken a part in the campaign.
A letter requesting the commercial at
torneys to visit Portland in 1912 was
sent yesterday morning and telegrams
probably will follow.
Portland has a number of competi
tors In the race, the principal one of
which is Chicago. Buffalo. N. Y., and
Kansas City. Mo., are also in the race.
Portland lost the convention of the
commercial attorneys last year by a
drawing contest which was made neces
sary by a tie vote with Chicago. The
high council of the organization re
ceived the vote from the convention,
which showed an equal vote for both
cities. They proceeded to draw lots
with the names of Portland, unicago,
Kansas City. Atlantic City and other
towns, all on slips of paper in a nac
Atlantic City won.
