Cobb- rilini Being IWIow Mouth. r'ollnsrln; a conference between the sfft-Ul representative of thi ctty and C. W. Fulion. counsel for the Mount Hwl Railway A Power Company, yea lerdey. the Mount Hood line agreed to execute a contract, transferring to tbe municipality all tta rights to water from the Hull Itun Jllver. The effect of thla action, coupled with prevloua legislative acta, according to City At torney Grant, secures to the city the absulute and unquestioned rlshl to all water flowing In Bull Kua Klver. re gardless of the contentions of W. & Cobb and fcts associates, who. In the courts, have assailed the holdings of the railway company. At the s.irne time. It la Insisted by Ir. Harry ane. ex-Mayor of the city, who is responsible for the situation which resulted In an Inquiry Into the city's rights as to a supply of water from Pull l!un for domestic purposes, that tne rights of the city aa to a water supply can only be secured posi tively through the execution by the Mount Hood concern of an absolute deed of lis aliened title to water rights on that stream. This agreement between the city and sfn.lala of the Meunt Hood Railway A- Power Company waa decided upon yesterday at a conference held In the of:l.-e of M.iyor KuanllKhL In addition to the Mayor, those attending the meet lint mere: C. V. Fulton, counsel for the Mount Hood Hallway Power Companv; It. Lane. City Attorney Grant. T. T. Geer. ex-tiovernor. and John II. Burgaru. member of the City Council. all Ran Reserve Created. The history of Portland s acquisition of water rights on the Bull Kun dates from Hie early '. 11 was In US3 t.':at a man named Cunningham rued an arproprlation on that stream. That rig;. I was later bought by the city, which at the same time tiled on addi tional water rights on the same river. TMs situation, so far as the acquisition of deilnlte rights was concerned, re mained unchanged until l0. In the meantime tr.e city established and laid one p.pellne from Hull Hun Into the city, ana through. It appropriated 12. .,. outf g.V.luns dilly. representing; the vo.utue f water to which the city waa rntttied under Its original ft lines and those acquired from Cunningham. in H. president Harrison, by act of Congress, set aside tr.e Bull Itun re serve. Including that portion of the Bull Itun Klver from which Portland s water supply appropriated. Senator Maci.eil In 104 Introduced and ob tained the enactment of another bill excluding from the reserve everybody but Federal ottlcera and representative f the Water Board, the apparent In lention being to secure to tne city the et.soiute rtsht of appropriation of the Sow of Hu;i I'.un. In Mayor Williams administration ..me question arose as to the city's -tichts to this water supply, suggested rv rert.iln filings made by Lafe Pence on the same stream. As a result, the l-g .-ijture In lui passed an act ; u.llr.g ti e water of Hull Run from Pirinatln 'or other purposes than 1 r te city's domestic use. In this ! s atlve enactment. however. the ..rl 'Vh.ip"t" Instead of "title'' was -rplojed. Ti ls nullnled the effect of l'ie amended statute, Krognlalng this r .(ret. a man named Miller made fur "er water appropriation fliinas on p.il R-in. Th'e fillers were after marl nojulred by the Mount Hood Com pany. l:rtaalve Rlabt Obtalaea. In subsequent negotiations It waa agreed between the officials of the M.'unt Hod corporation and the city that the municipality should have for domest'c use ail the mater from Bull P.un that was required for domestic purposes. Later and In 10 the Legis lature enacted a further atatute con- rmlng the rights already claimed by the city and declaring that "the ex-;!u-lv right to the use of the waters rf Hull Kun and IJtt'.e Sandy Rivers Is herebv granted to the city of Port land" Tins art went further and pro ruled that "no rights whl.-h shall be a -quired under ml act shall Impair the rights of anv municipal corpora tion to maters heretofore taken." The effect of this enactment was to j'.ve to the city exclusive right to the water of the Little Pandy and Bull Kun Rlvef. SuMect to the vested Tights already established and which rould not be affected by that legisla tion. I'nder the terras of the contract isree.l to yesteru.tv between the city nd the Mount Hood Company, the mu KUlpalHy becomes entitled to every drop of water in nun nun n city s Intake. If It I dealred by the rtty. the railway company ba agreed t any time to execute a deed con-fe-rlrg en the city the rights covered tn the contract that Is to be executed and signed within a few days. "The terms of the contract agreed upon today mean that the Mount Hood Hallway power Company surrenders to the city absolute title to any and .very claim It has to water In Bull Run River." said City Attorney Qrant. yesterday, following the conference, "and without further negotiation of anv kind I fall to see wherein the city's rtrhts are or can be In any way Jeop ardised. Thla gives to the city abso lute title to every drop of water In Bu'.l Ku. rskk miasm Isssr. -It I Impossible for me to see wherein the rights of the city ars In any way endangered by the controversy between f Mount llvd Company and W B. Cobb and hi associate. Ad mittedly, the filing of Cobb and his frierd are on the Sandy, below the point where the Hull Run emptle Into .al stream What possible claim un rl.r those filing can Cobb have on the raters of the Bull Run? Thi query Is particularly pertinent In view of the legislation enacted concerning the maters of B ill Run prior to the Cobb filing. In which It 1 expressly provided that tie waters of that St ream should net be appropriated Tor ether than do mestic purposes and then only for the benefit of the city of Portland. I am satisfied that Mr. Cobb and Ms asso ciates have no standing In the courts. , For the s-r.e reason I am convinced that eventually the city will be de creet the rightful owner and appro priator of the enure Bow of Bull Itun ae It has been agreed to between tbe Uut iiood Jiaiiwj, ex Fonts Cojf pany and the official representatives of the city at today's conference." Dr. Lane left the conference dis satisfied. II had Instated that the city demand outright a deed from the Mount Hood corporation covering Ita water rights on Bull Run In consideration of frrori granted and to be expected by that company. Dr. Lane was out of the city last night and his objections to the settlement effected between the city and the railway company, touching on water rights, rould not be learned. PROPELLER TUG BETTER Port Commission's. Favor of Stern wltcel Boat Crlt rclse-d. PORTLAND. Or, Sept. 21 In a re cent Issue of The Oregonlan. under the title "Dredge Plana Up." appears an article In which the plans for a new towboat for tbe Port ef Portland are dls?ussed. Here the merits of a pro peller and sternwbeel boat are again brought up. Captain Shaver seercs to be In favor of a sternwheel boat. This Is natural, because he knows nothing about any other.

If the sternwheel boat Is the proper thing, why do not other ports use them. Let Captain Phaver or anyone else point out any other shipping town that uses sternwheel towboats. For instance, take the port of Buf falo. N. T- mhlch in one year nas m he amount of tonnage of Port land. Buffalo's harbor Is not half so wide as Portland s. In the Spring the current Is ss swift or swifter. There are times of the year when tne wina blows harder every day than It ever blows In Portland. And here let me say that a sternwheel boat Is useless In a wind. Buffslo's drawbridges are r.srrower than Portland's, and the ships are bigger. Some boats come Into Buffalo Harbor that are too feet an4 nrrr 11.000 tons Does Buffalo use sternwheel boatsT No. Buffalo Is up to date, mere tney .... mo.iorn nroDeller tugs, which do not cost one-half aa much as this pro posed sternwheeler. but will flo more work and are more powerful and ef ficient In all ways. With the money the Port of Port land talks of putting Into this boat, two modern propeller tugs can be built, each of which will do more work and do It cheaper than the sternwheeler. f hone the oeople of Tortland mill look Into this matter and help give our city modern harbor lacinties. . a a e. 3 POOLROOM MEN FINED Minors VIiUng Ilaci AIo Pun ished Jap's Case) Snpcndcd.

FIN LEY SEES FUND LOSS State Game Warden Would Chaos System to Cheek All Fees, reolaring that the present system of nanaiiag tuuwe uvu. ma - lng and hunting licenses gives no op portunity for checking up adequately tne accounts of the various counties, Stata name Warden Flnley declared Wednesday night at a meeting of the Oregon Fish and Qarrte Association that from $8000 to 110,000 Is lost annuaiiy that ought to be available for use in the protection and propagaUon of nsh and game. "In some of the counties, ne smu. "It has been the practice to allow fish ermen to fish the streams with no bet ter voucher than a receipt from a not ary public, showing that they had turned over to him the license fee to lie paid . to the County Clerk. Case after case has come up where a notary has receipted for a license fee. the fish erman has gone out and fished on the receipt Instead of having a license reg ularly Issued from the County Clerk, and the money has gone no further than the pocket of the notary public There is at nresent no way oi inn ing what part of the money turned In to the state comes from fishing snd what part from hunting licenses. Down to date there hes been no way of check ing the accounts of the clerks and min ing certain that all the money collect ed was turned In. "I believe that arrangements snouio be made to have all the licenses Issued by the State Board, and that the clerks should be required to turn bsck to the board the duplicate receipts. In thla m-av wa would be able to check accurately, to tell what portion Is for fishing licenses and what tor nuniins licenses, and there would be absolutely no chance for sny of the fund to be diverted or held back."
