VISITORS EAGER TO KNOW
Information Concerning Ore(joo Is
Sought by Many Persons.
"Although the number of homeseek-
ers visiting Portland at the present
time Is limited." said E. C Glltner. sec
retary of the Portland Chamber of
Commerce yesterday, "we have been
having a larger number of visitors here
looking at our exhibits and making In
quiries lately than ever before. The
most of them are tourists, or persons
attending some one of the conventions
In the city, but their Interest In ore
Ken's resources Is genuine and they are
taking awsy ea4 day a large amount
of advertising literature"
Mr. Glltner believes thst the adver
tising pamphlets and cards distributed
among tourists this season, and scat
tered by them through all parts of the
Kastern states, will. whA reinforced
by the travelers own accounts of what
they have seen, prove a very valuable
factor In setting the possibilities for
Investment and home-making In the

FILL'S COST ASKED
Tanner Gulch Question Is Put
Before City Engineer.,
PAYMENT HINGES ON SUM
City Attorney Holds, If Amount
Reache $15,000 Coin May Be
Taken From Bridge Fund.
Owners Want Improvement.
To determine the probable cost of
filling Tanner Gulch, at the head of
Morrison street, the question was re
ferred to City Engineer Hurlburt by
the street committee of the City Coun
cil yeelerday. He will report at the
next meeting of the City Council.
Nearly a year ago property-owners
on Morrison street from the river to
Nineteenth street were assessed to pay
owners of the property which will be
covered, by the street extension, for
tho use of the property by the city.
The question has since arisen whether
the City .Council may take enctigh
money' from the city bridge fund to
pay the cost of filling the gulch. The
charter provides thst money may be
taken from the fund for filling any ra
vine where the cost Is more than 15.
000. It has been eatlmat4 that the
cost of the proposed fill will bo be
tween fll.OOO and 113.000.
Owners Want Improvement.
There has been a protest against us
ing money from the bridge fund for
this purpose, however, but the property-owners
along Morrison street who
were assessed are anxious that the
improvement be made, and that their
money be not tied up any longer than
necessary without the Improvement be
ing made. Councilman Baker, chair
man of the street committee, said yes
terday there Is no doubt In his mind but
Chat this property Is a ravine, and that
the Council has a right to pay for the
cost of the fill from the bridge fund.
City Attorney Grant submitted an
opinion. In which he expressed the be
lief that the cost of surfacing- the
street after the fill is made and of
putting In wooden or stone sidewalks,
canno; be taken from the bridge fund,
but must be provided for otherwise.
Fakements Also Needed.
The ordinance as drawn provides for
the putting down of crushed rock, and
artificial stone and wooden sidewalks.
A new ordinance will be drawn If City
Engineer Hurlburt's report shows that
the cost of the proposed fill Is more
then IU.000.
Another question is the securing of
easements from the abutting property
owners permitting the city to slope the
fills on their property without charge.
Walter A Holt, president of tho Mult
nomah Amateur Athletic Club, owner
of property abutting the fill, said the
club would be willing to grant the
easement, which, he said, lie under
stood would not be construed as a deed,
but merely a right to allow the earth
to rest on the club property. The own
ers of the property on the other side
of the proposed fill are Russell
Blyth.
INSTITUTE IS UNIQUE
SCHOOLS OK 11IOCF.SK ARE A IX
WKIX REPRESENTED.
SI. Paul Speaker Praises Inleres-t
Taken In Recent Session of
Catholic Teachers.
"The Catholic Teachers Institute has
Impressed me as one of the most suc
cessful thst I have ever attended."
said Rev. H. Moynihan. of St. Paul.
Minn., yesterday, after the close of
the last session. "It Is quite an un
usual condition that I have found, for
I know of no case In any other state
where an Institute haa been held In
which the schools of an entire diocese
were represented, as was the case
here."
Rev. Mr. Moynihan delivered his last
lecture before the Institute yesterday
afternoon on "St. Tsui's Testimony to
Christianity." Having elven and
answered the arguments or various
skeptics as to the cause of Paul's
transformation, he declared, "there Is
onlv one way to explain It, and that
explanation Is that Paul was a. witness
to the truth. in nis morning morns
he spoke on "The Origin and Alms of
tho Four oospels."
Mr. Moynihan will leave today for St.
Paul, where he presides over the St.
Thomas College. He maue his visit to
Portland solely for the purpose of
taking part In the Institute.
The sessions were closed by Arch
bishop Christie, with a short address to
the teachers. In which ho outlined the
plsns for the coming year. The Insti
tute la to be held Immediately after
the close of the school year In the
varloys Institutions In the future, since
It Is believed thst a larger attend
ance will be secured In this way.
Efforts will also be made to Introduce
srreater uniformity Into the courses
offered by the schools. A sister will
be appointed In each community to su
perintend the schools and to report
fully upon their condition at the next
Institute. These superintendents will
Iso meet at different times during the
year and confer, with the aim of fixing
a uniform atandard throughout the
school system In both grading and
tost books. With but few exceptions
the standard text books of the state
will be used In the courses.
"Our schools." ssld Archbishop Chris
tie In concluding his address, "are the
foundation upon which our churches
rent Build up our schools and then
we will be able to build up our mil
lion churches, academies and colleges."
The forenoon wss devoted chiefly to
lectures on "Method."

STRIKERS' BANNER HID
DISTRICT ATTORNEY APPEALED
TO TO REGAIN FLAG.
Sign Found in Office of Mount Hood
Railroad Contractor and Re
turned After Mlx-Vp.
Friction between employes of the
Mount Hood Railroad ' and striking
linemen, took a new turn yesterday,
when the strikers appealed to the Dis
trict Attorney for assistance In recov
ering one of their banners, which they
h-ald was In the office of Red ford Mur
lork. a contractor for the company,
with rooms In the Railway Exchange
building. Many vicissitudes were ex
perienced and the Prosecutor spent a
busy morning before the banner was
returned.
A boy had been employed to carry
the sign and set It down for a moment,
when men in the employ of the com
pany picked It up and carried it to
Mnrlock's offlcex The strikers learned
where It was and appealed to the Dis
trict Attorney. Murlock agreed to sur
render It and the strikers went to his
office but were soon back, reporting
that when they entered they found li
men In the room who refused to sur
render the banner.
A telephone message from the Dis
trict Attorney brought forth a promise
that tie banner would be given up, and
the strikers went again to Murlock's
office, where the banner was turned
over to them. Then the elevator boy,
who. they allege, was In the conspiracy,
refused to carry It down In the eleva
tor and they were also forbidden to
take It down the stairs, they said. For
a third time they went to the District
Attorney and an ultimatum was served,
which finally released the banner.
Workers assert that the strikers,
whtl ostensibly avoiding violence,
plant themselves between the men and
their work and if Jot-lied in the least,
say that they have been attacked. In
structions of foremen and communica
tion between workers Is made Impos
sible by the Jeers and cries of the pick
ets, who have adopted the college style
of rooting In unison.
Justice of the Peace Olson, who has
the cases to deal with, has shown a
disposition to defend the. right of free
speech, and this called forth a colloquy
between him snd Attorney Fulton In
thi! hearing Thursday evening.
"This court will uphold the right of
any man to speak his mind." said the
magistrate, ruling on a contention of
the attorney that conversation which
was undesirable to tho hearer forced
to listen U it mlnht become disorder
ly conduct even If not otherwise ob
jectionable. "Then If a man wanted to come into
vour courtroom and talk against your
will he would not be disorderly unless
his words were Improper?" replied At
torney Fulton.
It is the contention of the company's
attorneys that a man has a right to re
fuse conversation and to be protected
from those who force It upon him.
OVER-INSURANCE CHARGED

proofs of losses resulting front the
burning of a cannery at Nushagak.
Alaska, is charged against the officers
of the Alaska-Portland Packers' Asso

BILL HELD VICIOUS
Proposed Plumbing Law Dis
criminates, Is Charge.
REQUIREMENTS ARE UNFAIR
Council Committee Opposes Measure
on Account of Its Many Features
Deemed Objectionable by Per-
sons to Be Affected.
The -health and police committee of
the City Council, composed of Council
men Jennings. Watkins and Magulre,
decided yesterday that it will recom
mend against the passage of the pro
posed plumbing ordinance. This meas
ure comes up at the- next meeting of
the Council for third reading.
Councilman Magulre said yesterday
that he regards the proposed ordinance
as vicious, framed entirely for the bene
fit of the master plumbers and, whole
salers. He said it provides the same
class of plumbing for small dwelling
houses as for large buildings, thereby
increasing the cost to the small property-owners
at least 15 per cent.
"It is intended to keep out of the
plumbing business every man excep
the ones able to put up a big bond,
he continued. "I consider It one of the
most -vicious ordinances I ever looked
into."
Councilman Joy. although not a mem
ber of the committee, was present, and
said several plumbers had spoken to
him. urging that the proposed ordi
nance be quashed, as they said it would
be bad for both the plumbers and the
property-owners. "The majority of
the members of the community are op
posed to any stringent plumbing ordi
nance," he continued. '
It was pointed out that the proposed
ordinance gives the plumbing inspector
arbitrary power, and that it will cause
endless trouble and litigation. The
ordinance specifies the weight of every
plece of pipe and fitting to be put In.
It Is asserted 'hat the inspector may
compel a plumber to tear out a piece of
pipe which looks lighter than the re
quired weight. In order that it may be
weighed.
Councilman Joy told how a youns
man without a plumbing license put a
few pieces of rusty pipe together for
an East Side citizen when the plumbers
refused to do the work, and was ar
rested and fined $25 in the Police Court
for it. This was under the ordinance
now In force, Mr. Joy said he did not
consider that justice.
The committee decided to refer to the
Council without recommendation the
ordinance against keeping chickens,
ducks or geese in the following terri
tory: From McMillen street and the
river northwest to Williams avenue, to
Eugene street, to Union avenue, to East
Seventh street, to Thompson street, to
East Twenty-fifth street, to East Stark
street, to East Forty-fifth street, to Di
vision street and to the river.. The
Oregon Poultry & Pet Stock Associa
tion filed a remonstrance against this
ordinance, saying many householders
keep poultry to supply eggs for the
table, and some for profit, and that to
pass such an ordinance will raise the
price of eggs and poultry.
There was considerable opposition to
the petition of Conrad Helzer, a scaven
ger, to be permitted to build a bam in
Lower Albina. The property-owners
recently secured an ordinance against
the building of barns between Union
avenue and East Seventh street and
Klickitat and Fremont. Helzer says
this Is unjust, as he Intends to erect a
sanitary barn, complying with the cits
ordinances, and properly drained. The
matter was referred to the Council.
