DANGER OF FLOOD

-The moot Tlul problem that faces
Portland la flood-prevention work" said
K. T. Goodrich, deelerner of the Bush
terminals and consulting enKlner ot
th. BorouKh of Manhattan. on of the
thre ensrirteers called by the Public
Dock Commission to determine and ad
tIm. upon a system of public dock for
Portland. -For th life of m. he con
tinued. "I cannot see why a flood such
aa Portland experienced In UM should
not airam occur.
Hrlriae Adda to Iaaer.
"The coroi.Wlon of the now railroad
bridge makes thl ven more, likely. At
the place where, the brldne was built
the river was not widened. The con
crete, piers at the side, force the. stream
towards the center of the river, where
It Is aitaln blocked by the central pier.
These abutments have the effect of
maklnir tlx. river', available course
simple a narrow throat and should oth
er conditions arise tending to cause a
flood the brldne will precipitate It upon
the city. .
"To me. In fart. flood-prwentlon work
here seems of Just as itreat Importance
as docks. Four million dollars expend
ed now may save $50,000,000 In two
"'""".jked one of the chle.f engineers
of the Portland Railway. Light Power
Company why he did not Inaugurate
work to even up the flow of the river.
He said It was Impossible. He may be
risrht. but If the Egyptians could make
a lake 140 mile In circumference to
reeulate the flow of the Nile, the Wil
lamette can be regulated. New York
has leveled towns and thousands of
acres for her water supply, while on the
Alleghany hlKh dams have been built
near the source which controls the sit
uation. Rwn.lra fewla Be BallC i
"I have not Inspected the Upper Wll
1 motto, but I see no reason why low
level reservoirs should not be construct
ed that would oven out the flood over
the year.
-Of course, from an engineering
standpoint, nothing- Is Impossible. It is
only a matter of expense. It Is more
worth while purchastns, land now to
throw It literally Into toe. river than
to stand by and watch Portland Inun
dated for a depth of three or four feet
Mr Goodrich expressed considerable
surprise that Seattle was entering on
a scheme of dock Improvement with no
ensrlneer at the helm who knew any
thing about the work.
-H. 11 Thomaen, the engineer, told
me he did not know anything about
docks." he remarked, "and his chief as
sistant, upon whom the. brunt of the
work will fall, la la a like boat. You
cant learn about docks from books.
You have to eee them all over the world
and know and study conditions, lou
can t tak. th. Mersey system or that on
the Rio de Janeiro and dump It Into
Puget Hound. Every situation ought to
be studied separately.
-Seattle has great natural advan
tages, if Portland makes the beet use
of hers, there Is no reason why that
city should not take second places aa a
port-"
Bill of F.aglaeera "754.
A check for $750 will satisfy the ob
ligations to the board of New York
engineers called to advise upon a pub
lic dock system for Portland.
When the combined report of the en
gineers is turned In to F. W.
chairman of the commission, which win
be in about six weeks, this sum will be
divl.le.1 amnng them. It will ? ad
vanced by Mr. Mulkey. pending receipt

Bush terminal and consulting engineer
of the Borough of Manhattan, and V. J.
Barn.y. second Deputy Commissioner of
the New York Department of Docks and
Kerrles. calls for $100 a day.
They have passed exactly ten days In
Portland and their bill also calls for
tour and one-half days" traveling In
each direction making a total of 1
davs. or 100 nrdeoe.
Their traveling anJ hotel expenses,
of which the carfare was $l0. amount
to $35 each.
Party Leave"
Ttw eostneers left last night for Pan
Francisco. Mr. Goodrich will pass a
day or two In an Inspection at (Sacra
mento, and will then proceed directly
to New York, while the. others will con
tinue to San I'lego and Los Angeles, re
turning Immediately thereafter.
We are fascinated with the hospital
ity we have been shown." said Mr.
Stanlford as he stepped aboard the
Shasta Limited last ninht.
The members of the party spoke with
still greater praise of the opportunities
for development at Portland for docks
and emphasized the Importance of con
tinuing work once beciin.
TACOMA COLONY IS HAVEN

clow up. and not down." persisted Cap
Ian, according to Engvall.
On September 4. 1910. Caplan and Fox
walked Into the community grocery
atore.
-Mr. Engvall." said Caplan. according
to Enfva'.l's memory of the Incident,
-we want to place an order with you
for three cases of dynamite. We must
have It here two days."
It was here that Engvall committed
the first act that caused him to be
blacklisted by the community, he save.
According to the rus of the colony,
every member was a stockholder In the
grocery store, and It was the duty of
the storekeeper to purchase anything
that was requested of Mm. He was
a'.so supposed to ask no questions, he
said yesterday.
Oyaasslte W'sstnJ la Maate.
"But I didn't like the Idea of being
mixed up In anarchy." explained Eng
vall. "I knew that they were going
to blow up something, because they had
told me so. I knew c was my business
to get for them what they demanded,
bot I hesitated. Anyway. Mr. Fox waa
badly In debt at the store, and It was
my business to keep the store on a good
financial basis. So I asked them what
they, wanted the dynamite for.
- TVe're going to blow up something.'
says Caplan to me. "and w need the
dynamite quick. We want you to get
the most powerful you can. Get 80
per cent pure If possible, or anything as
nearly as powerful
"I knew they were anarchists and I
was afraid that If I bought that dyna
mite for thera I would be mixed up In
the matter.
Jranwr Made to 5 out a.
-They stayed home all that day. and
the next morning. September . they
came down to the store with suitcases.
They said that they could not wait any
longer and that they were going to
town to buy the dynamite themselves.
"I went out on the dock with them
Just before J.'ie boat came In on Its way
to Tacoma. Fox handed me a suit case
and asked me how much dynamite it
would hold. I told him that It would
hold about 100 pounds. The suit case
was empty when he handed It to me.
because I shook It and could hear noth
ing Inside. Fox and Caplan got on the
steamer and left. Caplan had told his
friends In Home Colony that he was
going home and Fox told everyone
that he was to receive a position as
census enumerator In Los Angeles."
At this point the thread cf the story
was taken up by Tillman, the Pierce
County Deputy Sheriff and Burns op
erative. Tillman had known nothing
of a dynamite plot being hatched In the
Colony. He waa not In the confidence
of anyone In the settlement. He said
he noticed, however, that Caplan and
Fox departed, ostensibly for Los An
geles, and decided that there was some
motive for the sudden departure.
Graerr Dlvwlgeej Secret.
Tillman cultivated the acquaintance
of Engvall. For many days after the
departure of Fox and Caplan. THIman
was with Engvall continuously. Final
ly Engvall Inadvertently let slip the
statement that the two colonists had
gone after dynamite.
By dint of various questioning and
an exchange of many secrets. Tillman
finally learned all that Engvall knew
about the reasons for the sudden leav
ing of the two men. He said yesterday
that he sat back and waited for the
first report of a dynamite explosion.
On October came the report that the
Los, Angeles Times building had been
destroyed, with Its terrible toll of hu
man lives.
On October Fox returned alone to
Home , colony, said Tillman. Caplan
was lost trace of after returning to
Home and then starting for Seattle.
Information connecting M. A. Schmidt,
the remaining alleged dynamiter, with
Home colony la more meager. A man
giving the name of Hostover. but tally
ing exactly with Schmidt's description,
came to Home colony a short time aft
er Caplan had disappeared and sought
work.
He waa given the work of clearing
an acre and one-half of land, and when
that was finished he left the colony.
Besides answering Schmidt's descrip
tion to a nicety, the man had a glass
eye In place of his right eye. In every
description sent out of Schmidt he Is
shown as having lost his right eye and
wearing a glasa eye In place of It. The
man of Schmtdt'a description obtained
work at Bremerton after leaving Home
colony and has not been seen since.
Frederick Gets Evidence.
All of this evidence, pieced together
by Tillman and the Burns operatives,
waa submitted to Deputy Prosecutor G.
C. N'olte, of Tacoma. some time ago and
submitted by him to District Attorney
Fredericks In Los Angeles. It was not
used at that time because the evidence
did not bear directly on the Los An
geles Times explosion. Now that the
McNamara brothers have confessed to
that crime, the criminal prosecutors
have turned their eyes to other crimes
committed In California and other
states. If the men from Home colony
did not have a hand In the Los Angeles
Times disaster, or even furnish the ex
plosive for It. the authorities say that
they believe them guilty of some of the
other crimes.
"I km almost convinced now that
Caplan and Fox did not use the dyna
mite bought here with which to blow
up the Los Angeles Times building, but
1 still believe that they committed
some serious crime while they were In
t Bala nuniirv Prosecutor
Nolte yesterday. "At least they knew'
of the operations of the dynamiters and
were trying to assist them."
LAND ISSUE FOREMOST
WESTERS GOVERNORS TO DI9
CCSS CONSERVATION'.
Presence of S corf tar y Flsiier Will
Add Interest to St, Paul Con
frrenc Today.
ST. PAUL, Dee. 17. Almost united
effort on the part of Western states to
attack the National Administration's
policy regarding public lands and to
substitute therefor state control .may
be made as the result of the Western
Governors' Congress, which will meet
for the first time here tomorrow.
, The conservation question will be
chief Issue of the Congress, according
to statements made by several Gover
nors today. On the general proposition
of state, instead of Federal, control of
public lands, the Western Governors are
said to be united, though differing on
details of the plan.
The presence of Walter L. Fisher.
Secretary of the Interior, at the session
of the Congress tomorrow has height
ened Interest In the Issue. The execu
tives see In his coming an opportunity
to lay before . him - the conservation
question as their people see It. and to
show him why they want a change and
how strong the sentiment is behind the
movement. Secretary Fisher Is expect
ed to explain the Government's policy
regarding the settlement of the West.
The Covernors had their first real
rest today. Nothing was done In the
way of entertainment, most of the Gov
ernors remaining in their rooms. Gov
ernor Hawley. of Idaho, who was elect,
ed president of the Congress, will not
preside tomorrow, as he has been called
to Boise on account of the serious Ill
ness of his wife.

TO BE CANDIDATE
Friends Would See Him Enter
Race for Representative
in Congress.
HA2EN ALSO MENTIONED
If These Two Men Pcclde to Try for
Republican Nomination, Four Will
Be In Contest Morton
After Bourne's Place.
Gus C. Moser, ex-Dputy District At
torney, a prominent lawyer and club
man, may decide to become a candidate
for the Republican nomination for Rep
resentative In Congress from Multno
mah County. Although Mr. Moser has
not committed hlmswlf definitely, his
friends, believing that he could win,
have been particularly active for some
time surveying the field and Its pros
pects and at the same time undertaking
to convert him to their way of thinking.
But Mr. Moser is not the only Repub
lican whom gossip In the last few days
has associated with this nomination.
Friends of George TV. Haxen, a lawyer,
with offices In the Chamber of Com
merce, are grooming blm as a candidate
for Representative from this district.
Four "Feasibilities Seem.
If Moser and Hazen both develop Into
candidates, there will be four aspirants
In the field for the Republican nomina
tion. George M. Hyland and Roger B.
SInnott having already made the an
nouncement that they would try for the
place. Besides, there are other "possi
bilities." Among these. Circuit Judges
Gantenbeln and Kavanaugh have been
suggested, but neither has made any
statement regarding his Intentions.
In the last week another candidate
for Senator, to succeed Senator Bourne,
has entered the contest. It Is Joseph
TV. Morton, of Hood River, who an
nounces that he Is a progressive. It
has been rumored for some time that
Charles A. Johns, of Baker, also would
become a candidate against Bourne, but
Johns has so far declined to make any
statement.
So far as the District Attorney's of
fice Is concerned, the candidates' In
cubator has been working overtime. In
the last few days two lawyers have an
nounced that they would seek this nom
ination at the hands of the Republi
can voters. They are W. A. Carter and
W. A. Leet. both with offices In the
Corbett building.
Leoi Is Mlr-hlgaa Maa.
Before coming to Portland, several
years ago, Mr. Leet practiced his pro
fession In Michigan. Although the an
nouncement of Mr. Leet was entirely
informal, he ventured the prediction
that the voters of Multnomah County
would know that he was running for
office before the election takes place
next November.
In seeking re-election aa County
Commissioner. TV. L. Llghtner will have
an opponent In the Republican primar
ies In the person of Samuel L. Scott
Mr. Scott has been a resident of Mult
nomah County for about 40 years and
during the greater part of that time
was engaged In the dairy business.
Mr. Scott now ocouples the position of
bailiff in Circuit Judge Kavanaugh'a
department.
