HARRIMAN LINES OBJECT
President Toting Believes a Satisfac
tory Solution of Arising Diffi
culty Can Be Found if
Right Is Granted.
When official!! of the North Bank
Railway presented a plan to the street
committee of the City Council at a spe
cial meeting yesterday whereby the
problem of placing freight tracks on
the East Side on a common-user basis
can be solved by the routing: of North
Bank cars over the new Steel bridge
and the approaches, which are subject
to common-user provisions, the plan
was adopted by the committee over the
vigorous protest of the officials of the
Harriman line, and it is believed a long
step has been taken toward solving the
Kut Side freight competition puzzle.
The plan was Introduced Into the
street committee meeting by Charles
H. Carey, counsel for the North Bank
line, and placed the whole East Side
common-user tight on a new and in
teresting basis. The plan is for the
Hill company to run Its cars from its
main line and spurs down North Front
street, over the new Steel bridge, over
common-user tracks to East Second
street, thence south to East Ankeny,
across block 65 to East Third and south
to common-user tracks at East Third
and East Pine, thus opening up the
East Side freight district to the use
of the cars of the Hill lines as well
s to the use of the Harrlman lines.
Mr. Carey announced that this plan
was not a substitute for the plan, as
previously announced, of operating the
cars to common-user East Side tracks
by means of a ferry plying across the
ti'illatnette River from the West Side
to and across property recently pur
chased by the Hill Interests.
Dock CommlKalOB Approves.
The plan as submitted provided for
the use of the tracks for freight cars
only, and their operation was limited
to the hours between 6 r. M. and 6
A. M. Mr. Carey announced that his
plan has the approval of the Public
Dock Commission, which body has
been conferred with by his line and
the Steel bridge route decided upon as
the proper solution of the problem.
When the plan was introduced at
torneys and officials of the O.-W. R. &
N. and the Southern Pacific interposed
many objections, which resulted in
more than two hours of heated debate
on the various phases of the situation.
Representing the North Bank Company
were President Young and Mr. Carey,
whil? General Superintendent Camp
bell represented the Southern Pacinc,
and Vice-President J. P. O'Brien, with
W. W. Cotton, general counsel, ap
peared for the O.-W. R. & NY The East
Side business men were represented by
Dan Kellaher, Edward Xewbegln. C. A.
Bipelow and others. The city was rep
reseited by Mayor Rushlight and City
Attorney Grant. Members of the street
committee present were Councilmen
Baker. Burgard, Monks, Maguire, Joy
and Schmecr.
Mr. Campbell, of the Southern Pa
cific, interposed objections in behalf
of his company, declaring that the plan
would tie up the service of that corn
pan on certain of the streets and
would interfere with through passen
ger and freight trains operated on
First street. He made special objection
to the common-user provision being
mud-- effective on East First street.
Attorney Cotton, for the O.-W. R. &
X., objected particularly to the opera
tion of trains on North Front street
as early as 6 o'clock at night, declar
ing this would Interfere with service
at the freight depot.
Gonapronilfte It Proposed.
TMs latter objection brought up the
first point of argument, several of the
East Side business representatives de
claring that the freight depots are
closed at S o'clock and. therefore, trains
passing there at 6 o'clock could not In
terfere with them. Attorney Cotton
declared that it might not interfere
at present, but later, when the depot
might be required to maintain longer
houis. it will. This led from one argu
ment to another until President Young,
of the North Bank, expressed the
willingness of his company to' change
the hours from " P. M. until 7 A. M.
Commenting on the East First street
proposition President Young said: "The
Southern Pacinc now occupies this im
porttnt street to the exclusion of all
other lines or companies. I doubt if
a person could find room to push a
wheelbarrow through there. For thnt
reason it is necessary to use the South
ern Pacific tracks to get into this part
of the shipping center because there is
no other way. I will say that if this
right is granted the North Bank Com
pany, the two competing lines will
work out a plan whereby one company
will do the switching for the other and
eliminate the proposition of congestion
of cars and traffic and the Interference
with through trains. If we can get the
right to use the Southern Pacific tracks
and spur tracks I am confident the
wording plan can be arranged in such
a way that there will be no Interfer
ence or Inconvenience on our part to
the Southern Pacific or to the ship
pers." Chairman Baker CalU Halt.
The First-street arguments drifted
from one phase of the situation to an
other until Chairman Baker called the
squabble to an end and presented the
quention to the committee for action.
The first section of the proposed East
Side franchise as amended by the plan
of the North Bank line to provide the
Steel bridge entrance was put before
the committee for adoption. Council
man Burgard moved that the part of
the section pertaining to East First
street be eliminated from the general
franchise to give the companies an op
portunity to get together and settle on
a plan satisfactory to themselves.
This brought a storm of objections
on the ground that the companies could
not get together on a satisfactory basis
because the Harrlman lines had the
upper hand by having control of the
tracks. Councilman Maguire and others
urgrd the committee to include East
First street in the franchise and to
make it subject to the common-user
provisions the same as the other
streets. A motion to that effect was
made and carried. The first section of
the franchise which establishes the.
common-user was adopted by the unan
imous vote of the committee. At this
point the meeting was adjourned until
afternoon.
Committee Approves FraarkUe.
At the afternoon session every sec
tion of the proposed franchise grant
was adopted by the committee ex
cepting section 1-, which brought up a
ron-.plex problem. This was referred
to the City Attorney for interpretation.
Ur.ter the terms of this section, ac-
STEAMER CAMIXO.
Frank Bollam Portland ticket agent for the steam schooner lines, received the photograph of the launch
ing of the new steamer Camino, which Swayne & Hoyt will operate from Portland to points south as far as
Los Angeles. The vessel was built at Long Beach. Cal., at the Craig yards, and will be commanded by Cap
tain K. A. Ahlin, formerly master of the steamer Navajo, owned by the same firm, and also of the steamer
Redondo. The Camino Is modern and, like the Navajo, was built to carry a large lumber cargo, with provi
sion for a number of passengers. .
cording to the opinion expressed by
Attorney Cotton, the Hill line is given
an advantage on East Third street by
beins granted a franchise for use of
Harrlman sidetracks to be laid here
after, while no such franchise is grant
ed the Harriman lines for Hill-con
structed tracks.
It was the opinion of members of
the committee that the proper pro
cedure for the Harriman officials was to
apply for a general franchise now, as
the Hill officials have done. After
much discussion. In which Harrlman
officials maintained that the effect of
the adoption of this feature of the
proposed measure was to place a club
in the hands or the Hill line, me
question was referred to the City At
torney for lnterpretion. The question
will form the backbone or anotner
meeting of the committee next Monday
morning.
A letter from the Public Dock Com
mission, approving the plan of the Hill
officials, was read at the meeting. In
this communication, signed by F. V.
Mulkey, chairman of the commission,
it Is said the plan is the only feasible
one for opening up tne joDDing ter
ritory of the East Side to uniform
competitive railway conditions. it
adopted," read the letter, "the plan
will practically furnish tne r-ast Mae
municipal docks contemplated by this
commission with common user rail
facilities available to any railroad now
operating, or which in the future may
operate, within the corporate limits of
the city of Portland.
City Will Have Power.
"It also lays the foundation for the
future operation of a municipal com
mercial railway belt line with but
slight expense to the city. If it should
at any time acquire the power to op
erate such a line."
Mr. Mulkey was at the meeting and
explained the advantage of the situa
tion as worked out by the North Bank
line officials. "It is natural," he said,
"for competing railway lines to flcrht
for monopoly. The Harriman interests
now have the strategic position to
control the business of the East Side.
It is natural for them to fight to hold
it. I dare say that if the conditions
were reversed and the Hill interests
held the position of the Harrlman peo
ple, they would be opposing such a
move as the present one as vigorously
as the Harrlman officials are opposing
this today."
Valuable Territory In Conflict.
The portion of the East Side cov
ered by the franchise grant asked for
by the Hill line in common with the
Harriman Interests includes the follow
ing streets and blocks: On East First
from Hawthorne avenue to East Pine,
On East Second from East Market to
East Pine, on East Third from Haw
thorne avenue to East Ash and from
there across private property to East
Second, thence to the east approach
of the Steel bridge; on East Oak
from Union avenue to Water street,
also on blocks 10, 13, 22, 41, 60, 53, 62,
85. 86, 87, 88 and 89.
The only new portions covered in the
franchise as it stands now from what
was provided originally is the stretch
from Third street to the approach of
the Steel bridge. In entering this sec
tion the Hill line will have to buy the
block, or part of it at least, surrounded
by East Ankeny, East Oak, East Sec
ond and East Third. Attorney Carey
says negotiations are in such form
for this that the company can close
the deal when the franchise for tracks
there is granted.
The granting of a franchise undoubt
edly will mean much litigation be
fore tiie whole situation is cleared up
and the East Side business men enjoy
the competitive freight service sought.
The bone of contention will be the
right of the city to enforce the com
mon user provision over the property
owned by the Harriman interests be
tween the East end of the Steel bridge
and the entrance to Second street-
While It Is said the tracks there are
subject to common use by the terms
of the grant under which the bridge
was constructed, there is a difference
of opinion as to the right of the city to
enforce the terms over the property
owned by the Harriman people private
ly. Mr. Carey declared yesterday
that this undoubtedly will be the issue
in litigation which follows the grant
ing of the franchise.
PORT INSURES ALL BOILERS
Committee Favors Inspection for
Other Than "Donkeys."
Commissioners of the Port of Port
land, acting as a special committee to
pass on the insurance of power boilers
in service or fit for operation, have de
cided to recommend that all be covered
and the policies will be written by
the United States Casualty Company.
There are 12 boilers, other thaji
"donkeys." and the limit of Insurance
on each will be J20.000. They will be
covered against explosions, collapse or
damage and protect the Commission
against losses arising from claims for
personal injuries or deaths. The
principal aim of the Commission is to
have all boilers inspected. While some
of those are passed on annually by
United States Inspectors Edwards and
Fuller, because of being on steamers
others are not and under the Insurance
clauses a few will be given double
inspection.

They will be absent until Saturday.
Captain Archie Pease, of the Com

SHIPS ARE SCARCE
Tramp Service to Orient Is All
Exporters Expect.
MO NEW LINE MENTIONED
Portland Grain Shipments Expected
to Decrease With Withdrawal of
AVaterhon.se Ships Work on
1 City Docks Will Ceae.
Exporters, concerned in the Oriental
steamship line situation, agree that
with the withdrawal of the Waterhouse
steamers in another month, there will
be but one means left for directly
reaching- the Far Eastern market from
Portland, and that will be to charter
tramp steamers.
In their own words, such an arrange
ment will "take care of the big fel
lows," as the heaviest shippers are
known, but the "little follows will be
fortunate if they can secure space on
tramps or can get their stuff to Puget
Sound for shipment on a reasonable
basis.
So long as the present scarcity of
steam tonnage continues, exporters
say there will be no line established.
There are so many things that cause
the demand for steamers from natur
ally greater commercial transactions
on the Pacific, to war between the
Turks and Italians, that no one pre
dicts when the stringency will ter
minate. f
"So New Linen Are Proposed.
T. B. Wilcox, of the Portland Flour
ing Mills Company, said yesterday that
he knew of no move under way for a
line at present, and spoke as though
the refusal of the O.-W. R. & N. to put
on steamers was the last hope. There
will be a number of steamers taken
for single voyages during the season
If they are obtainable. It is also assured
that Mitsui & Co., leading commercial
men of Japan, will send steamers to
the Coast with sugar and hardwood,
and load back with what Is offered,
mostly flour, if the demand remains.
It is also thought that some of the
steamers under charter to carry lum
ber to the Far East will take small
lots of Hour, but how the shippers,
forced to depend on such transporta
tion, will come out with high rates is
another feature.
Dock "Work May Be Stopped.
It has been suggested that so long
as the Oriental line has been officially
and thoroughly executed, work on
the system of public docks cease, there
by saving what remains of the author
ized bond issue of $2,500000. With no
Oriental commerce, there will probably
be little use for the docks now main
tained. Interior millers, who cannot reach
Puget Sound with their product, be
cause of not being in the district where
the same tariff applies, would be taken
care of should the O.-W. R. & N. place
in effect the talked-of "milling in
transit' tariff, so their flour could
move through to Portland to Tacoma
or Seattle. If such a step was taken,
however, Portland millers aver they
would then demand a lower rate from
Of
Smoke
the interior to this city, so the country
plants would have virtually the same
differential to overcome in reaching the
Oriental market, via Puget Sound.
OLD AGREEMENT SATISFACTORY
Grainliandlers Have Not Asked for
Xew Contract Since 1910.
Accompanying the better tone of the
grain charter market is a renewed in
terest In the prospective movement of
wheat this season. This has naturally
caused queries as to the labor situa
tion on the waterfront, with the result,
it has been recollected, that the Grain
handlers' Union has worked for over a
year without a contract with exporters.
The last agreement was signed in
September. 1910. It was then stipu
lated that the men were to receive 40
cents an hour until April, 1011, when
the agreement terminated. The men
have labored for more than a year at
the same scale of wages, and as the
season is about to open, and no move
ment has been made toward bringing
up the question of pay, it is assumed
that the scale will remain as lixed
nearly two years ago. The first wheat
will probably be loaded the latter part
of September, and there will be a good-
sized fleet dispatched by January 1,
1913.

The plan as worked out by the North Bank officials and approved by the Commission of Public Docks for the entrance of Hill-line cars into the
East Side districts provides for the moving of cars from the North Bank yards down North Front street to the west approach of the Steel bridge,
thence over the bridge on the tracks of the Harriman lines and across their property to East Second, down East Second to East Ankeny, diagonally
across block 65 to East Third and East Asli, thence south to the present common-user tracks, which begin at East Third and East Pine streets.
From this point the tracks are subject to common-user provisions to the proposed new North Bank terminal between East Main and East Mor
rison and East Water and East Third streets. This will give the line access to the entire East Side by use of present tracks in common with the
Harriman lines, or by the new tracks to be- built in streets now occupied by Harriman tracks.
