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

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.

If the sternwheel boat Is the proper
thing, why do not other ports use
them. Let Captain Phaver or anyone

that uses sternwheel towboats.
For instance, take the port of Buf

FIN LEY SEES FUND LOSS
State Game Warden Would Chaos
System to Cheek All Fees,
reolaring that the present system of

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

the protection and propagaUon of nsh

"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."

love of Music.
Of all the fine arts Music Is the most
exalted,, the most divine, the most uni
versal. It Is a medium of emotional
expression deeper and stronger than
any other art or language.
It has never been questioned that
the masses love music The problem
has always been to get muslo Into the
hands of the masses. For lt Is a fact
that not over 3 per cent of those who
love music can produce It by their
own band. Thousands of homes have
fine pianos, yet a large proportion oi
thm are silent or are used only to a
limited degree.

ceptional merit, but the Artlstano has
steadily proved its superiority over
them all, until today it stands the ac
knowledged masterpiece among tne
player pianos of the world.
The Artlstano Is a mechanical player
that does away with mechanical play
ing, completely transforming and broad
ening the field of music, so that the
performer, no matter how defective his
musical education may be, is placed in
immediate possession of a means of
musical enjoyment almost unlimited,
and with the possibilities for artistic
interpretation limited only by his dis
position to give the small amount or
practice required.
Messrs. Sherman. Clay & Co., the
well-known Portland piano firm, Is cer
tainly to be congratulated on having '
secured the exclusive agency for the
Artistano. and in giving this superb
instrument wide distribution among the
people -are performing a real public
service to the state.
The general use of the Artistano can
not fail to elevate and refine the sensi
bilities of the people, counteract the
undue materialistic tendencies of the
time, increase the capacity for the en
joyment of life, and make better, hap
pier and more contented, homes whor
ever it Is used.
