FORBIDDING RIVER

Lower Columbia Within
Period of 24 Hours.

Floating-Toward Pacific Ice
Floes Are nTj.
Marin men are fur In a discourag
ing situation on the Willamette and
there la every Indication that an old
time Winter freshet will follow ths
iitorm as the stream here his an un
usually heavy current. Is rising steadily
and reports that are available from
points south show that the situation
Is serious.
District Forecaster Beals received In
formation from Wllsonvllle yesterday
that the gauge reading- at 6 o'clock In
the, morning established the height of
the Willamette at IS.l feet, an Increase
tf 14 feet In 14 hours. At Portland
the river was S feet at 7 ovlock In
the mornlnir. a gain of l. feet In 24
hours, and a second reading made at
4:1. In the, afternoon showed It to have,
climbed to . feet. In the, last read
ing there, may have been some Influ
ence from the tide. It waa reported, as
the effect Is noticed until the stream
attains a stage of 10 feet, but It is ris
ing rapidly and should warmer weather
follow today and thawing set In gen
erally, a decided Increase will be re
corded. Iirllt Clatters River.
As a result of the freshet there was
a large amount of drift running and
some of It apparently came from high
ground, as there were chicken coops
and other barnyard equipment float
ing There was not sufficient heavy
drift to cause damage to vessels.
On the Columbia Klver tha opposite
conditions were noticeable, as It was
reported froxen over as far down
stream as Vancouver and the steamer
Jessie Harklns. which was operating
between Vancouver and the Oregon
shore In place of the ferry Vancouver,
was compelled to cease before noon,
owing to tho rapidly forming Ice.
Captain Ilosford said that two trips
were made by breaking through the
Ice and aa there wax danger of the ves
sel being froscn In. he proceeded to
I'ortlami. where workmen were started
sheathing the forward part of her hull
with galvanized Iron. Today she will
steam as far as the mouth of the Wil
lamette for freight and passengers.
Ice Breaker Pat Out.
Steamers arriving from the Lower
Columbia report Ice running thick and
some large floes, but below the Wil
lamette there was no freezing; of the
surface of the stream. The steamer
(Georgia Burton left for La Camas early
In the day, taking tha steamer lone's
run. and the latter followed In her path,
as she was not sheathed, but no late
reports were received as to how they
tared.
The O.-W. R. A X. received word that
Its service on Coeur d'Alene Lake had
been stopped because of Ice. For sev
eral daya a channel was kept open
there by running the steamer at night,
but colder weather made that Impos
sible. Rlvermen say that had the Willam
ette not risen during the pat two
days the Lower Columbia would have
frozen, as the only thing that prevents
a freeze there Is the fact the current
of the Willamette runs diagonally
across the Columbia. Above that point
it has been expected to close, but late
yesterday It waa free below the rail
road bridge.

Atlnntlc fleet, continued discharging at
the North Hank dock and finished In
the afternoon.
The French bark Ruffon and Norwe
gian ship Sierra Miranda continued
working whent and rrgul.ir steamers
of the coast fleet lost no time getting
ready to sail. At some docks where
electrical loading devices are used
there was trouhle owing to the current

little time was lose
lOCK LIGHTS MUST SHINE
Passage to Vessels to Re Marked by
Lanterns.
T fully appreciate the difficulties
under which dock and vessel owners
are operating here, because of the
Morm. yet there can be no disregard
of the ordinance providing that lights
must be displayed on docks and along
side steamers where berths are occu
pied." said Harbormaster Speler yes
terday. "Aa the electric-lighting ser
vice l impaired on many docks, oil
lanterns must be usea and that order
will remain In force so long as the
light circuits are broken."
The object of the ordinance is to
protect passengers and members of.
crews from falling from docks In the
dark. When there are lights on the
dock and at least one to designate the
gangway. It has been found that the
number of accidents Is few. Harbor
master ftpeier has temporarily estab

that he may be reached easily. He said
yesterday that he had received no re
ports of accidents or heavy damage
along the beach as a result of the weather.
CTIIXESE PIRATES NUMEROUS
Crewe or Foreign Vessels Have to
Stand Onard 'o.
Foreign carriers visiting Chinese
ports are made the victims of pirates
this season, according to officers of the
Oriental liner Orteric, which has ar
rived on Puget Sound with tales of
petty thievery and piracy. The depre
dations have reached such a stage that
it has been necessary to arm crews of
the vessels aa a means of protection
from the almond-eyed creoks Infesting
the harbora.

they were repulsed by the crew after
trying to board the ship from sam

does not belong to the revolutionists or
government forces, but Is composed of
outlaws, who are taking advantage of
the disturbed condltilons through the
country to ply their trade. The out
lawry has not demoralized marine con
ditions, aa carriers are discharged and
loaded as of yore. Were it not for
thefts, the Orterlc'a executives say. It
would not be apparent on the Coast
that the country Is rent by war.
ROANOKE REPAIR BILL PRUNED
lodge AVolvrrton Sustains Protest of
Owners of Craft.
United States Judge Wolverton In
the Feelers I Court yesterday awarded
to the Willamette Iron A Steel Works
Judgment for I1S7..34 against the
Steamship Roanoke In payment of re
pairs. Last August, the steamer sus
tained damage to Its rudder and ap
plied to the libelant for repairs, with
the verbal agreement that the work
should be done for what It was reason
ably worth.
Finally the company rendered a bill
for $4443 71. to which the owners of the
steamer protested. The case was taken
Into the Federal Court for adjustment.
In pruning the claim. Judge Wolverton
sustained in part the contention of the
owners of the steamer that the work
of repairing their craft was "negligent
ly and unsklllf ully" performed.
Marine Note.
But a few of the 500 pigeons saved
from freezing on Alnsworth dock Sat
urday died as a result of the expos
ure and the others were released yes
terday. Captain Snow, who piloted the steam
ship Bear from Astoria yesterday, said
that she was not bothered by Ice. which
was kept scattered by a strong wind
on the lower river.
Entries at the Custom-house yester
day were the steamer Roanoke, hail
ing from San Diego and other Califor
nia port.i. and the German ship Marie,

Bay Sunday, on the steamer Alliance,
says that while there wax a strong blow
on when the vessel left Coos Bay, con
ditions grew better aa she steamed up
the coast and the Columbia bar waa
almost smooth.
Cables received yesterday from
shroud contained advices that Hind,
Kolph St Company had chartered the
French ship Herengere to carry wheat
from Portland with the 112-13 fle-e-t.

OF PHONE
RATE IS ASSAILED
Right of Pacific Company to
Make Charge of 10 Cents a
Day Is Questioned.
PATRON FILES COMPLAINT
Franchise Kxpires in 1927 and City
Attorney Holds Municipality
Can Regulate Tolls Protect
TVIth Mayor.
A proteet to Mayor Rushlight and the
City Council against the telephone
rates being charged by the Pacific
Telephone & Telegraph Company was
made yesterday by John Landlgan. He
says he had a telephone installed at
SOS Stanton street six years ago, and
that IS months ago the company raised
the rate to (t( cents a day. His com
munication, dated January B. says:
"This morning their agent called and
wanted me to sign a new contract for
10 cents a day. I refused to sign until
I heard from you. I have not com
plained of the service or style of the
phone. I am satisfied with the present
rate of cents a day. What I want
to know Is, if. under their franchise,
they have a legal right to raise the
rates. I have never given them the
right to raise said phone rate."
The franchise granted to the Pacific
States Telephone c Telegraph Company,
approved by ex-Mavor f:owe. February
21. lo;, provides that "during the ex
istence of this franchise the grantee, or
Its assigns, 'shall not charge or collect
any higher rental for telephones than
the maximum rntes now collected."
The franchise expires February 21, 127.
Klghta Kirerded la Oplnloa.
7n an opinion submitted toaithe City
Council a few months ago. City Attor
ney Grant said he believes the City
Council has the power to regulate the
telephone rate. As to whether a suit
to cancel the franchise for violation of
Its provision would have merit, he does
riot say. but says that as "the city has
prescribed mnxlmunt rental rates, the
telephone company has no right to
adopt a regulation which will Increase
the rental charge above what has been
fixed as the maximum charge, by re
quiring a subscriber to pay for the
cost of Installation of the telephone
and appliances." The company now Is
charging a deposit of 95 for every tele
phone Installed, the company keeping
the deposit If the phone Is kept less
than a year, and returning It when the
phone Is discontinued If the subscriber
demands it and the phone lias been
kept longer than a year.
Tremsfer Also Questioned.
City Attorney Grant said. In his
opinion, the Pacific States Telephone
Telegraph Company had no right to
turn over Its business to the Pacific
Telephone & Telegraph Company with
out the consent of the Council, and that
he can find no record that this consent
was ever obtained.
"Can the company abolish its ten
party lines, both residence and busi
ness?" Is the question Mr. Grant asks,
and then says: "From a thorough ex
amination of the authorities I fall to
find a single case wherein this question
has ever been decided, or even dis
cussed. "With no precede. - to guide me, but
simply expressing to the committee my
Individual opinion. I would say that the
provision of the franchise of the com
pany providing that It 'shall continue
to maintain and operate its present
telephone and telegraph system within
the city,' and being a contract, binding
upon both parties, if. In the judgment
of the Council, the company can render
efficient and satisfactory telephone
service to the public, by a continuation
of ten-party and four-party lines, It
can be made to do so, but that necessi
tates a determination of the facts,
after an Investigation as to whether or
not such a system can and will give to
the public an efficient telephone serv
ice." ARCHITECTS TO LECTURE

LUMBER EXPORT PROMISING
Only Sixth or Coast Orders Cared
Kor by Tonnage.
Of orders equal to about 30 lumber
cargoes, only enough for five steamers
to carry can be moved early to offshore
ports from the Coast, says E. Leslie
Comyn, of Comyn, Mackall A Com
pany, who . passed through Portland
last week, bound for Puget Sound, with
E. J. M- Nash, of the Royal Mail line.
The limited number of vessels taken
for the business Is due to the dearth of
tonnage and consequent high rates de
manded by owners.
Mr. Comyn looks for a heavy move
ment of lumber from the Northwest to
foreign countries during 1912. the Aus
tralian demand being decidedly heavy.
He thinks tha sole drawback to brisk
business will be the Inability of export
ers to charter vessels, being Inclined
to the view that there will be no im
provement In the tonnage market as
Indicated now.

56 STREETS INVOLVED
Franchise on Serenth to Jefferson
aa Demanded by City May Be
Rernsed Fully 20 Districts
Clamor for Lines.
Although residents of IS or 20 dis
tricts are campaigning for streetcar
extensions for their accommodation.
Portland Railway. Light & Power Com
pany officials may refuse to accept
franchises on any of the streets peti
tioned for because of the terms de
manded by the City Council street
committee in tne irencu f",
After two months of squabbling; the
committee finally completed drafting- a
proposed franchise covering 5 streets
at a special meeting- yesterday and
Vice-President Fuller, of the railway
company, expressed doubt as to the
willingness of the company to awept
the terms.
The main objection Is on the SeTenth
street extension. The company asked
for a franchise up Seventh street, from
Hoyt street to Morrison street, while
the Seventh-Street Property Owners
Association demanded that no franchise
be Riven on the street unless it extend
south to Jefferson street. This tne
company refused to accept, but the
protest was not heeded by the street
committee. By unanmious vote yester
day it waa decided to require the com
pany to accept a franchise on the street
as far as Jefferson or none at alT.
ravin- Cost Alao Fimglt.
Another hitch is in the demand of
the citv that the company pay Its
share of costs for street Improvements
on streets on which franchises are
granted, but where no tracks are laid.
The company declares this is unjust
and probably will not accept Buch fran
chises. The street committee voted to
require the company to install Iron or
steel polea exclusively within the fire
limits of both the East Bide and the
West Side. This is also objectionable,
said Mr. Fuller.
There are a few other objectionable
features to the terms of the proposed
jrrant which may result in the whole
proposal being- rejected by the traction
company, in which event the pleas of
the various sections for more carllnes
will avail nothing-.
The franchise will be considered this
week by the railway company and an
nouncement of Its acceptance or rejec
tion will be made at a special street
committee meeting, to be held at the
City Hall Saturday morning at 10
o'clock.
Other Graata Proposed.
In addition to the B8 streets on
. .1.. .aHikliiAa will hs srranted
If the company accepts the terms there
probably will oe tnree oiners,

instigation of property owners. One

of the Mount Tabor line over to the

Montavllla.
Another will be on East Fifteenth
street through the Lincoln Park dis
trict. At present there Is no carllne
between East Fourth or Union avenue
to East Twenty-ninth street. Resi
dents of that district presented their
demands to the company and the com
mittee at yesterday's meeting. Still
another grant may be asked for In the
Lincoln Park-district, the street to be
used not having been decided upon as
yet.
The franchise as arranged by the
street committee Is much more string
ent than franchises granted to the
company heretofore. It is said this Is
done to bring to an end troubles which
have resulted in the past through what
are considered by members of the com
mittee as lax provisions governing
street Improvements and line exten
sions. Brothers Team -Wins Twice.

The county officials have been
making out the year's county tax levy.
It is thought that the levy will be
nearly 20 mills. '
