COUNCIL AND VOTERS WAR Sale of Jloci. Crnher Stirs Taxpay er at Sheridan. SItKKIDAN. Or.. April II (Special.) Sheridan is tiie scat of heated con troversy regarding the proposed sale of the old city rock crusher by the Siavor and Council. Offended by the action of th local Council a few of thi taxpayer of this city are up In arms and Lave secured an Injunction, restraining the local authorities from deposing of the old rock crusher. This trouble had it beginning sev eral years ago. when the City of Sheri dan purchased a road, roller and rock crusher to use in the improvement of local thoroughfares. The crusher ha proved an cxpenso until recently, when a local contractor secured control of It and In addition to keeping It in re pair has paid the Council rent for same. Recently, however. tr. crusher be came useless. In this predicament the renter came forward with an offer to buy It of the city and put in a new one. turning the old one in as part payment. A special meeting of the Council was called and the Marshal Instructed to sell the crusher to a local party, who had made the offer. However, accord ing to the local charter, the Marshal was unable to close the dca.1 until after the lS-day notice had expired. Several of the prominent taxpayers decided that the price to be paid was' not a sufficient one for the crusher. An injunction prohibiting the sale was procured and served lat Saturday. The position taken bv the protesting taxpayers is that tho Councl. la ex ceeding It authority in selling; at a private sale. The contention of the Council la that they are representatives of the voters and according to the charter have ample right to buy and sell a thev see fit. Meanwhile the new crusher has ar rived and replaced ths old one. Many .MKTHoniVT BISHOP TO ATTK D OM'EREVi K IN POKTLAVD. 1 WIImb T. Ilogne. Bishop W. T. Hogue. of Green ville.

PORT WINS ELDER SUIT STKAMEIVS OTVXKRS MUST PAY $1780 AS DEMANDED. Judge Wolvcrton Decides Claim for Us of Drydock In ICO pairin? Vessel. In one of the most exhaustive Admir alty opinions handed down from the Federal bench of this district In years. Judge Wolverton gave decision yes terday in the suit of the 1'ort of Port land against the steamer Oco. W. Elder. This suit was to recover M7X0 for use of Its drydock in repairing the vessel. The necessity arose after the Klder went on a rocky point near Goble In 1905. and after she was found- Impos sible to wreck by the usual methods her license was returned to the Gov ernment and she was sold at auction, being bought by -Lucky" Jack Peter aon. Through his efforts, the boat was wrecked and taken to the drydock of the Port of Portland May 27, 1906. where she remained until September 18 of the same year under course of re construction. A portion of the charges of tho Port of Portland were paid, but a balance of 147!0.wa refused on the grounds that tho work was not pro ceeded with as rapidly aa consistent with tho conditions. Another contention of the owners or the Klder waa that she could not bo considered as a vessel before tho court. but rather as a piece of Junk, as her license had been cancelled and she was helpless, as a vessel. In this latter feature of the case Judge Wolverton went into detail, nuotlng authorities from many Admiralty decisions in the Federal courts that tho condition ofthe Klder. at the time sho went on the drydock. proved that she was a vessel as construed and understood by the law. The matter of the delay In repairs at the drydock waa shortly dismissed, quotations from the evidence taken In the rase of both sides showing that usual and sufficient diligence In the prosecution of tho work had been exer cised. In summing up the case Judge Wol verton said the Port of Portland was correct In Its demands and awarded Its claim of S47v In full, with Interest S per cent from September 1st, 190S. which was the day the Klder was taken from the drydock after having been repaired.

Staff May Be Reorganised. Xo other move has been made that Is known In Portland, but It would not be surprising to steamship men if the "Big Three" fleet staff was reor ganized in keeping with the policy of divorcing the marine department from the rail lines. The steamer Bear arrived up early yesterday, being at Alnsworth dock shortly after 3 o'clock, she having en tered the river at & o'clock and left up from Astoria at 8 o'clock. There were 364 passengers aboard, accord ing to the tabulations of Purser Fred Hayward. From tho Golden Gate to Cape Blanco the ship met strong north west winds and north of that point cloudy weather with showers prevailed, accompanied "by a westerly swell. Captain Files Protest. Captain Nopander filed a protest at the Custom-House because of a report made by the engineer force that Sun day night the propeller had struck an obstruction, presumably a submerged piece of drift. No damage resulted, but, as is the custom, the protest followed. The steamer Kansas City, sailing yes terday morning, had 146 passengers and a heavy cargo. Sho is on her last voy agn as a substitute vessel, as the Beaver will return on schedule, though later the Kansas City may be used regularly during the passenger rush. STKAMEKS AVILIi SAIL. DIKECT Rig Liners Carry Portland Cargo to Orient. It has been given out at Tacoma that In the new agreement between Frank Waterhouse &.

At other times they will "discharge in the north and proceed to Portland, returning over the same route. The next three steam ers to depart will bo from this city across the Pacific, and as the aim of exporters hss been to secure a direct service, every effort will be made to assemble sufficient cargo to Insure such steamers frequently. ' Tho British steamer Oceano. which whs coming here and was ordered not to continue the voyage south. Is to losd at Seattle and Tacoma, she being now at Vancouver, B. C. discharging.

Portland women having a desire to sail the briny deep as wireless opera tors have the sanction of Benjamin 3. Cable, acting Secretary of the Depart ment of Commerce and Labor, who has advised the Government wireless offi cials that women may take the same "exams" as men for ship operators. So far the only part women have played In maritime work has been In the role of stewardess, and there are a few cases pf women who have been granted master's papers on Inland wa ters and more who navigate motor boats, .but to enter the service of regu lar deepwater lines as operators gives them a wide field. Mr. Cable has written the United Wireless Company on the subject aa follows: Tou are advised that the department Is aware of no provision of law or regulation which deprives women the opportunity to apply for examination as wireless operator on shipboard on the same terms ss those which are open to men. Wireless ship in spectors may accordingly examine each ap plicant and If competent they should re ceive a certificate of competency. I have sent a copy of this letter to th Secretary of the Navy and the wireless ihlp Inspectors at New York. Boston and San Francisco. C. W. COOK TO SEVD.

CEMENT MOVEMENT GROWING rive Carriers to Sail During Week Heavily Laden. That construction operations in Tort- land and vicinity are drawing heavily on the California cement plants is In dicated in the latest assignment of ves sels in the Olson. & Mahony fleet, as the steaiJer Mackinaw, which is to sail from San Francisco Thursday, will brine 3000 tons: steamer Melville Dol lar, due to leave here tomorrow, has 1500 tons; tho Tamplco, which will sail Saturday, is to load 3000 tons, and after tho Olson & Mahony leaves the dry dock. April 29, she will load 2000 tons, while the steamer Saginaw is to sail today with 570 tons and the steamer Temple K. Dorr sailed yesterday with 600 tons. Other fleets are carrying equally heavy lots of the material, and there is every indication that the 1912 move ment will overshadow the showing for 1911, which was a record since the Portland market began to draw on the California product. More cement could be handled in Portland if dock space was available, and property owners have been approached with a view to increasing their facilities. . ANNE DE BRETAGNE TAKEN Taylor ToMtUc Tlint Tliielfoek Not Chartered by Him.
