FEDERAL CONSENT SOUGH .'V ir, V -V- In a comprehenslTe review of the rrlnrtples of the single tax theory Judge . If. Carey, a prominent mem her cf the Oregnn bar. declared he for ; property-o pts. honx-hul liters and 1asiayers at the Hotel Multnomah yee tertlay. that the propniwd changes In the taxation system In Oregon would mean a totml readjustment of property value, would seriously and Irretrlev ablr affect every kind of Industry, would discourage the promotion of put lic and private Improvements and would h a crcat menace to. Instead of a bet terment of. social and economic con dition. The address was given at the solici tation of the Portland Realty Hoard and was Indorsed by a rouelng vote as tfie first Important public discussion ctven on the Issue In tne present tlm- ralgn. I kisse ITeetaresl l aafreuarr. The apraker said that Portland and the entire Mate had been making great progrrss under the present system of tarnation and that there was no demand nr ne,-rsi(r for the adoption of such radical changes as proponed by the eingle tax advocate. After revelwlng (he. activities of the single taxers In tin state. Mr. Carey referred to the , various provisions of the proposed sin cle tax measure, pointing out the rev olutionary features and specious argu ments contained In the document. Ho ald that the proposed separate county action In tax matters was Impractl rah If. The stability of the tax system slould not be in Jeopardy at every elec tion, hut even worse for the state I the proposal to vary the las laws In different counties." said Mr. Carey. It will bo bnt a short time until there will be a perfect rrasy-qutlt of laws regu lating luxation, and all to no purpose. A xound system that Is applied In one county would be equally sound and equally applicable In another county. When the people have discussed the single tax system. If they want It. let them adopt It for the whole state, so that we shall know what the law Is and will be able to adjust our affairs to conform. If they do not want it. let us vote It out of the state and settle down to quiet and peace without this tinker ing and agitation. Marly lerelalos) I rsei. Therefore. I suggest that In order I attack of the grip to let the people decide this question once for all. an Initiative bill be pre pared and submitted at the coming election proposing The repeal of the constitutional amendment adopted In 1I0. when 40.000 taxpayers did not vote at all. lct those opposed to single tax vote for this, and those who want single tax can vote no. Let the Issue be clean-cut. and If the state is to be ruined by Mr. Joseph Fela and his ad visory committee and commission of non-resident doctrinaires and theorists, let us have It over with as soon as possible." Following the address, resolutions were passed by the Realty Board unan imously In denunciation of, the single tax Issue, as follows: PRF.Isa CI.VB KTKRTtlXKK ;tl IMU'l I..1KITI.

Authority was received last year for preliminary labors and All surveys have been run and estimates made on the Mans under consideration for handling stone from the river to Fort Canby. but the plans must go to Washington for approval by the chief of engineers and the War Lepartment. Of money available last season. $150. 000 was reserved for the early opera' tlona on the north Jetty and at least a wharf will be built this year for the reception of stone and the plant that Is required to discharge It from the bargesa Congress Is expected to make a sufficient appropriation to cover the entire estimated cost of the Jetty, so the work will be interrupted only be cause of weather conditions during the Winter. Shops te Be Built. While some of the quarters at Fort Canby will bo used by the engineering force for housing officers and men en gaged on the project, there will be shops built in which to manufacture and repair equipment. Copies of a bill tuat Is before Con gress have been received in the city. Thla measure provides for the construc tion of a modern wagon road from Il waco to Fort Canby, the present high way being in bad condition. It is pro vided that $20,000 be set apart for the undertaking and Incorporated in the movement Is a plan to offer for sale tlmber that covers the military reser vation oa Cape Disappointment. It is said many of the trees are dying, but much of the land Is covered by lores t that la desired from a military stand point because of batteries, fire control stations and other vantage points that It is desired to' hide from view as much aa possible, and with the trees aa a background from the ocean side It is difficult to discern any of the modern works there.

WASHINGTON IS SOLD AGAIN Oltvort & Malionv Get Rid of Carrier That Is "Trouble Ship." One more transfer has featured the career of the steamer Washington, about which a volume could be writ ten, though she has been in the water only since 1906. when she was com pleted at Seattle. The latest concern ing her Is that she has changed the flag of the Olson & Mahony Steamship Company for that of W. S. Scammell & Co., of San Francisco. Olson At Ma hony purchased the Washington In June, 1911. from the Washington Ma rine Company, her original owners, for .30,000. though as valuations go with the present dearth of tonnage on the Coast she is worth more. The Washington figured in several mishaps, the most recent of which oc curred last Fall as she was leaving the river. While on the bar. her wheel became Jammed, after a sea washed a portion of her deckload over the side, and for nearly two days passengers and crew were In a perilous position, until finally rescued by the tug Ta toosh and towed to Astoria. The Washington came here for repairs and, after reloading, proceeded to .San Fran cisco. Olson & Mahony laid her up temporarily for additional work and then placed her on the Coos Bay-S.in Francisco run, but on her maiden trip there she got Into more trouble and had to be towed back to the Oolden Gate, later plying to Kureka. The ves sel Is said by mariners to be too small to pay on long runs.

It is reported from Puget Sound that when the British steamer Kumeric, of the Waterhouse Oriental fleet, is re turned to Europe, where the Weir in terests will overhaul her and probably decide to use the carrier in another trade, she will be succeeded by the Hrltlsh steamer Aotea, that the Weirs have bought from the Shaw. Cavlll & Albion Company, which operate her between London and New Zealand. The Aotea was built in 189S and is ot J467 tons net register. Another ves sel recently taken over by the Wclr flag ts the British steamer Salamls. which was built In 1899 for George Thompson Co. and has piled in the nondon-Atistrallan trade. She is or 3S tons net register. It has not been officially given out that the two steamers will come to the Pacific, as there are two new ships under conv structlon for the Weir fleet and they will be used In the Portland-Puget Sound-Oriental trade when finished. from Grays Harbor.

Meyer, Wilson & Company have char tered the French bark Amlral Ce- 111s to load general cargo on the Tyne for San Francisco with the option of Portland. On the return of Captain A. B. Gra ham, of the Yellow Stack line, from Honolulu, which Is expected early next month, work Is to start on the fleet's hlrd steamer. As the steamer Dalles City is en gaged in transferring passengers -from trains on the North Bank line, around landslide between Lyle and White Salmon, the Hill interests have no boat peratlng between here and The Dalles. It was made known yesterday that the Norwegian steamer Henrlk Ibsen, formerly in the Portland & Asiatic fleet, would return to Portland In April to load general Oriental cargo. t is thought that she will remain on he run permanently. C P. Doe, head of the North Pacific Steamship Company, wired here yester day that the steamer Santa Clara would be placed In service February 28 be- ween San Francisco and Los Angeles, touching;. at Santa Barbara and Long Beach. A weekly schedule Is to be maintained. In advices to the Merchants Exchange yesterday were included movements of wo offshore ships, the i rench bark Edouard Detaille having arrived at Dublin February 20, with cargo from ere, and the German bark Khelnbek as reported as having sailed from Santa Rosalia for Portland Febru ary 18. As the steamer Alliance was detained at Coast ports again she is not ex pected in the river from Eureka aod Coos Bay until tomorrow and will sail Monday evening. The steamer Geo. W. Elder will also be late, probably ar- Ivlng Monday evening and her sailing will he postppned until Thursday and possibly Friday. Marconi wireless equipment Is be'ng nstalled on the steamer Stanley Dol lar, which Is oischarging New York cargo here. J. D. Taylor Is superln- ending the work and he says that the Marconi Interests may establish a tatlon at the mouth of the Columbia. though the United Wireless has "ts gear on most of the Coast vessels. Bids will be opened at the office of D. W. Campbell, general superintend ent of the Southern Pacific, Monday afternoon for filling the site of the East Side freight sheds, which have been ordered constructed, and the Port of Portland Commission will submit a proposal to dredge the material from the river and deposit it by means of a pipeline 1000 feet long. After discharging a part of her cargo at Oak-street dock yesterday, the steamer Francis H. Leggett shifted to Supple's dock and on finishing there today she will be helped through the bridges by the steamer Ocklahama and continue to Hayden's Island to load 600.000 feet oC lumber, finishing her outward cargo at Tongue Point. Reinsurance is no longer being quoted on the British bark Gulf Stream, which haa been out 297 days from Glasgow for Vancouver, B. C, and the Mer chants' Exchange was apprised by wire yesterday that she had been posted at Lloyd's as missing. The Gulf Stream was commanded by Captain D. Nlchol. who was well known here.. The last trip of the hark from Portland was February 4. 1910. when she cleared with lumber for Capetown. riNDOE VI FAY 3 TUG'S HUM, Sheathing Arrives for Mendel and Machinery Is Transferred.

Berlous complaints of damage to soft Winter wheat made prices today flnlah with a bulge. Closing figures were HiJrSc to Htf c higher. In provisions the outcome varied from the same as Wed nesday nlht to tile decline. strength tn wheat develcrped only after a day of uncertainty. Increased world ship ments had a bearish effect and there waa further influence of a similar kind in the fact that primary receipts here were more than double a year ago. The bulla also were discouraged ty the ampleness of mois ture throughout the belt. At the same time coarse grains displayed an upward ten dency and there waa news from Liverpool that the Argentine forwards were not up to what hsa been predicted. Unsettled weather and consequent outlook for smaller receipts tended to spirited buy ing of corn, i Local speculators were the most aggressive In this respeot. Oats followed the lead of wheat and com. A feature was the purchasing by country commission houses. Buying credited to packers rallied hog products to some extent, but proved Insuf ficient to entirely overcome weakness, due to a decline of the yards. The leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT.
