Dr. White, State Health'Board
Secretary, Reports Danger
to Commission.
SCALDING IS ORDERED
Attorneys Say Oregon Slough Is Be
yond Jurisdiction ot Port Work
of Digger Reported Plans
for Craft l"p Iater.
Dr. Calvin S. White, secretary of the
Stat Board of Health, staggered the
Port of Portland Commission yesterday
with a report of bacillli conditions in
water barrels on the dredse Columbia,
not because the members all appre
ciated what the report Indicated from
a medical standpoint, but the numerical

the Commissioners to wonder If there
was any room left in the barrels for
water.
"The water from the dredge Colum
bia, filled from the Bull Run supply,
contained 19.980 organisms per cubic
centimeter and colon bacilli. The water
from tank N'o. 2. filled from the St.
- Helens supply, contained 21.060 organ
isms per cublo centimeter and colon
bacilli- The specimens contained in
the Columbia River supply were 3780
per cubic centimeter and colon bacilli."
Toe report set forth that the analysis
: showed that other than the Columbia
River water was contaminated, prob
ably from the soiled hands of members
of the crew drinking from the barrels,
and It should not be the case, as Bull
Run and the St- Helens supply were
known to be ot a higher standard. It
was suggested that the barrels be
scalded thoroughly and cleansed with
a solution and that Dr. White would
make a second analysis then. The in
vestigation was requested following re
ports that men on the Columbia had
contracted typhoid fever from drink
ing water. Captain Groves, superin
tendent of dredges, was requested to
ascertain the cost of new tanks and
equipment through which regular de
livery of Bull Run water could be made
and report at the next meeting.
Slonath tteyoad Port's Power.
Again the question of the Jurisdic
tion of the Port of Portland Commis
sion in dredging has been satisfac
torily set fortn as a result yesterday of
the receipt of an opinion from the firm
of Williams. Wood Ac Llntblcum, at
torneys, which declares that Oregon
blougn. where dredging was sought by
manufacturing enterprises, that deep
water vessels could be loaded at Ken
ton plants, is out of the district of the
port. Its Jurisdiction, under the act
creating the body, embraced that por
tion of the Willamette River deemed
necessary for harbor purposes and its
power for the creation of channels is
confined to the Willamette and Colum
bia rivers in connection with a road to
the sea. It was agreed yesterday that
the only relief for the Oregon Slough
district in deriving the benefits of pub
lic dredging was to bring about an
amendment of the charter, so the Juris
diction could be extended.
Under the workings of the Commis
sion monthly reports are so systema
tized that statements are filed in ad
vance of each meeting. In the summary
of the dredging department Captain
Groves showed that the dredge Colum
bia excavated (43 feet of channel on
Postoffice Bar and removed 114.166 cu
bic yards of material, the average
depth of the cut being three feet and
giving a channel depth at low water
of 26 feet. The digger finished there
August 14 and was shifted to Henricl's
for the remainder of the month and cut
3453 feet of channel, removing 195.166
cubic yards of material, the average
cut in depth being five feet and the
channel depth is 27 feet. The- work
there ended September . when the
dredge moved to Hunter's Bar.
Tewboats Kept Busy.
The dredge Portland finished in the
Willamette River August 7 and two
days later began operations at Reeder's,
where she out 1984 feet and removed
87.565 cubic yards of material, leaving
the channel 2S feet deep. She completed
the work September 12 and is on a
rhoal between Fralea Light and Ilen
xicla. The principal Items In the report of
Harry Campion, superintendent of the
pilotage and dredging department, dealt
with 26 harbor moves, one special move.
13 vessels towed Into the river and four
towed out with six towed to Portland

Steamer Breakwater to Coos Bay and

Vessels lifted.
The question of obtaining slabwood
fcs fuel for the dredges working on the
river came up and Commissioner Dodge
was delegated with authority to com
pile contracts that would be acceptable
to mill men. which will be submitted at
the next session.
Commissioner O'Reilly said he was
rot prepared to make a formal report
on obtaining additional tools for the
drydock and the establishment of a
roadway from shore, but as to the dock
rates be regarded them as abnormally
low and that he saw no reason why
a higher tariff should not be adopted.
President Hears asked as to the au
thority of the Commission to lease the
property. That brought up recent liti
gation when the Commission was en
Joined from taking such a step. It was
nroted that the status of an appeal or
dered taken at that time be made
known by the attorneys.
Dredge Plana Deferred. '
J. B. C. Lockwood. designer of the
dredge Columbia and who has been
retained by the Government to design
two dredges of the same type for use
on the Columbia River, explained plans
and specifications complied for the pro
posed duplicate of the dredge Columbia,
which is to have a steel hull, but the
Commission decided to review the data
at an adjourned meeting Wednesday
afternoon at 3 o'clock. The same de
rision was reached relative to the steel
sternwheel towboat. for which plans
have also been drawn by C. H. Norrlln.
At that time there will also be a finan
cial statement submitted, showing what
funds are available for the undertak
ings. Commissioner Inman was granted
leave of absence for 90 days to date
from yesterday. He was compelled to
leave the city before the meting.
Awards for furnishing various ves
sels of the Port with food, based on
bids received at a previous meeting,
were announced as follows: Meat.

SHEARWATER LEAVES TODAY
Captain. Vivian Will Spread Fame of
Portland Harbor Officially.
Captain Vivian, of the British sloop-of-war
Shearwater, which will leave
the harbor at 9:30 o'clock this morning
bound for Esquimau, says he will be
prevented from returning to Portland
next season on the vessel as he la to
proceed to England in May. his period
on this coast then being at an end. At
the same time all details of the visit
of the Shearwater, conditions at the
mouth of the Columbia, channel depths
and harbor facilities will be made
known to the British Admiralty, and it
is hoped, to Include Portland in the
itinerary every season. When the Pan
ama Canal is opened the Admiralty is
expected to have larger vessels on this
coast and with official data available
there Is no reason why British naval
commanders should not be as familiar
with the Columbia and Willamette as
they are with Northern waters.
Harbormaster Speier arranged so
that the Shearwater's tanks are filled
with Bull Run water, while he will
lend assistance this morning in having

REDS' PLEA THRILLS
Yakima Tribe Confers With
Fisher Over Water Rights.
OLD CHIEF IMPRESSES
Secretary of Interior Explains Away
Wrong View of Indians in Top
penish Confab A. D. Charlton
Describes Inspiring Scene.
One hundred representatives of the
Yakima tribe on the Toppenish reserva
tion conferred with Walter Fisher, Sec
retary of the Interior, last Saturday,
when the redskins were relieved of a
misunderstanding that the Government
Intended to divest them of their water
rights for Irrigation purposes.
Secretary Fisher was accompanied by
Senator Jones of Washington, Howard
Elliott, president of the Northern Pa
cific Railway, and A. D. Charlton, of
Portland, assistant general passenger
agent of the Northern Pacific
Mr. Chariton, who has just returned
to the city, says that the scenes at
tending the conference were the most
Impressive of his entire experience.
The Indians evidently had rehearsed
their meeting with the Government of
ficial, as they had prepared a most dra
matic tableau for the formal presenta.
tion of Mr. Fisher. Grira-visaged war
riors, attired in blankets of brilliant
colors, occupied the center or me im
nrovtsad staze. Around them were
grouped a few squaws, & number of
younger Indians in correct civilian areas
and halfbreeds in mixed garments ro
flRctinir both their contact with civi
lization and their connection with the
primitive form of life.
Old Chief Is Spokesman.
Ceremony did not stand in the way,
One of the oldest of the party, a man
who may have served as chief of his
tribe and possibly as the leader in con
flicts with rival Indians or intrepid
whites, at once came forward and
bluntly asked:
"Whose land Is this white man's or
Indians'?" He referred to the land em
braced by the Toppenish reservation.
"The Indians'." Secretary Fisher in
formed him.
"Then whose water is this?" referring
to the supply of water available for ir
rigation purposes.
"That also belongs to the Indians," he
was told.
The old dhlef went away satisfied.
It seems that the Yakimas had been
misinformed on the question of water
rights on the reservation. They were
under the Impression that the Govern
ment would not permit them to use any
of it and tnat the white settlers on the
adjoining property were to have all
of it.
FTe Water Provided.
The law provides that the Indians,
who have constructed a ditch of their
own, need not pay anything for water
obtained through that channel, but if
they connect with the Government res
ervoirs they will be required to pay on
the same basis as the whites, Each In
dian is allowed to sell not to exceed SO
acres of the 80 acres of land which
each holds, to obtain funds to pay for
the water.
Although they were soon relieved of
their misapprehension the redskins who
had prepared speeches insisted upon
being heafd. Through an interpreter
they delivered to the secretary their
views.
"This interpreter was one of the fin
est looking men I ever saw," said Mr.
Charlton. "He was probably 60 years
of age, as straight as the proverbial ar
row. deep-cheeted, clear-eyed and pos
sessed of all the admirable qualities of
face and form that have made the In
dians a picturesque people. He spoke
in a deep, musical tone and had a com
mand of the English language that was
marvelous. I never have heard a
preacher, or a politician make better
use of words. In his addresses such
expressions as the , great father at
Washington,' the stars that watch over
us,' 'the land of our fathers and other
poetic phrases were frequent.
Lone Agitator There.
"During; the proceedings he stood un
moved, midway between the Indians and
the Secretary. His eyes seemed fixed
on the horizon. He looked neither to
the right nor to the left until the last
word had been uttered. Neither Coop
er nor Longfellow ever described a
scene so unique or so impressive.
"There was one agitator in the crowd.
He was a halfbreed and I believe was
responsible to a certain extent in mis- 1
representing the rltuation to the oth
ers. He insisted on speaking, which he
did in elegant language. His weakness
was a, fancy vest. Although many of
the younger bucks wore vests that had ,
Happy Hogan faded from the boards,
this felldw's was the most brilliant in
the lot."
After the meeting the Indians shook
bands with the Secretary and returned
silently to their homes.
Mr. Fisher also visited the Govern
ment protect near Sunnyside. Wash.,
where 230 men are employed, and other
Government projects, while the North,
era Pacific officials were with him.
LAW IS FOR PROTECTION
Retribution Is "ot Aim Eliminate
Habitual Criminals.
PORTLAND, Sept. 13. (To the Edi
tor.) Why Is a law? This la the
question whose answer ought to point
out real viewpoints of those who
have discussed capital punishment In
The Oregonian recently..
Why is a law? Does it not spring
from the necessity of society to pro
tect Itself, that Is, Its members? Every
one admits that, you say; but much of
our lawlessness and crime springs from
our refusal to act upon the theory.
We pay our money to support the
Government, we contribute means for
our own protection, and then weaken
that defense by hindering the course
of Justice. We encourage crime by
sympathizing with the criminal. We
admit the abstract principle, but re
fuse to allow It to be applied to the
case at hand. On the other band, we
may admit the doctrine, yet quote the
barbarlo words of the Bible. "An eye
for an eye; a tooth for a tooth." There
are more of the latter type among us
than we would eare to admit. Notice
our law for the whipping of wife
beaters. One cannot study criminology even a
little without understanding how un
tenable la this latter ground that the
criminal should be punished as a retri
bution for his crime. The epileptics,
the atavistic types, "born, criminals,"
are the product of the preceding gen
eration. Should the degenerate be
punished for infringing a moral code
he cannot appreciate? Society can but
prevent his reproducing his kind, and
eliminate him from the surroundings
to which he Is a menace. The habitual
criminal is largely a product of society.
Sometimes these men can be cured of
their tendencies by a well-ordered life
in a penal settlement. It is in this
respect, and In regard to this class.
a
that the indeterminate sentence has Its
value, and then only If It follows these
lines of correction. The occasional
criminal la one whose will was not
strong enough to overcome a certain
specific temptation. He easily degen
erates Into the habitual criminal, and
on the . other hand, with wise treat
ment, can be returned and kept to
paths of rectitude. The criminal of
passion does not premeditate his
crimes, and they often spring from
motives not In themselves evil, as
when a man slays the ruiner of his
home. Punishment is not a deterrent
and they are frequently punished suf
ficiently by remorse. This -oes not
apply to the criminals of vicious tem
per. To come back to the theme of capital
punishment. The born criminals and
the criminals of passion are the two
classes which supply most of our mur
ders. To neither does the threat of
punishment act as a serious deterrent,
especially when the threat sounds
rather empty. If we sympathize with
the motives of the criminal of passion,
we set him free. If we consider the
criminal likely - to offend again, we
should eliminate him. How? If we
could ease ourselves of all the dan
gerous class by killing them, it might
be well. Meanwhile, the gravity of
the death sentence makes It difficult
to secure a sentence against even those
the Juries consider guilty. Severity
does not tend to decrease the crime at
which it is leveled. All criminologists
agree that a certain and sure punish
ment has a far more deterrent effect
than a more Severe punishment which
Is not certain to be inflicted, com
mon sense tells us so much. We must
treat the criminal and not the crime.
Next we must have laws that can oe
obeyed and will be obeyed and en
force them. Laws that are a mockery
of Justice are a' great evil, and not
uncommon. Laws that try to mane
a crime of what others think their
due are also evil. Take the liquor
question. The drink traffic should be
stopped, but education and not sup
pression must do it. The laws should
be enforced. FULLER MILLER.
