DOCK COMMISSION
SUGGESTS CHANGE
Bill Diverting Tide Land Reve
nue to School Fund Is
Satisfactory in Main.
STATE TITLE NOT OPPOSED
Chairman Mulkey Asks That Sur-
- pins Revenue From Public
Wharves Be Allowed to Accrue
for Redemption of Bonds.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Feb. 2.
(Special.) That he Is willing to con
cede the suggestion made by Senator
McCoIloch In a recent letter that title
to the submerged lands of the "Willam
ette River at Portland, covered by Sen
ate bill 26, remain in the State of Ore
gon is the subject of a letter from
Chairman Mulkey of the Commission
of Public Docks of Portland. In addi
tion he expresses the willingness of
the commission to allow revenues de
rived from submerged lands now not
built upon and leased to upland own
ers to be turned Into the common
school fund- of the state, but believes
that none of the revenues from the
public docks should be so used, Inas-1
much as he believes that the revenue
from the docks will pay no more than
the interest on the bonds and provide
a sinking fund to care for the prin
cipal. Senator McCoIloch Is also agreeable
to this view, declaring that he did not
take the stand originally that the
docks should be called upon to pay
any share of their revenues into the
common school fund, but believed that j
the common school fund should derive j
some benefit from leases of submerged
lands to upland owners. It is under
stood that Governor West also believes
that the school fund should derive
some benefit from the revenues so
raised.
Independence Is Requested.
The draft of the amendment that
you submitted to me is In the main
satisfactory,' writes Mr. Mulkey In re
" sponse to Senator McColloch's letter,
"except that the Commission of Public
Docks would not deem it advisable
that any portion of the revenues de
rived from the public docks should bs
paid to the State of Oregon or that
any leases the Commission of Public
Docks might make, of municipal docks.
should be subject to the approval of
the State Land Board.
"The municipal docks contemplated
are to be of fire-proof construction
and will be expensive to build. It is
not expected that the revenue from
these docks will pay more than the In
terest on the bonds and provide a sink
ing fund to retire the principal at ma
turity, which will be anywhere from
35 to 60 years.
"Again the Department of Public
Docks contemplates what Is known as
a complete water terminal which will
require the condemnation of a consid
erable portion of upland adjacent to
the submerged lands of the Willamette
River. Further than that most of the
site contemplated by the Department
of Public Docks for municipal docks
is now covered with wharves for
which compensation will have to be
made, and also, in all probability, in
addition to the value of the improve
ment Itself, the courts will allow the
upland owner the franchise value, so
that it will be burdensome to the City
of Portland to have to pay any portion
of its revenue of municipal docks Into
the school fund of the State of Oregon.
Amendment Draft Submitted.
"With reference to the submerged
lands which are not now built upon
and which the commission would be
willing to lease to adjacent upland
owners, there is no reason why a con
siderable portion, if not all of the rev
enue, over and above expenses derived
from such leases should not be turned
Into the common school fund. I there
fore suggest that the amendment to
section 1 be framed along these lines."
Mr. Mulkey inclosed a draft of an
amendment to the section embodying
the features which he proposes.
Sponsors for the bill say it is only
intended to cover such title as is now
vested in the state in the lands be
tween high and low water mark.
The Supreme Court has held that un
der the act giving to the upland own
ers of the City of Portland the right
to construct wharves on these lands,
that such a grant was in the shape of
a license and revocable at will by the
state in such cases as where the li
cense has not been exercised.
Franchise Yaluot -Mooted Point.
But In cases where the license has
been exercised and improvements have
been placed on the submerged lands,
then the license Is Irrevocable and the
property can be secured only through
the exercise of the right of eminent
domain.
One of the principal questions In
volved in the controversy Is whethef
in condemning such properties, the
dock commission will be required to
pay the franchise value as well as the
physical value. The idea of the bill
is to leave this quesetion largely up
to the courts. In a number of cases
where the physical value of the prop
erties might not be exceedingly great
the frapchlse value would be large and
consequently the wharf owners object
to receiving only the physical value,
PRISOX REPORT XOT READY
Committee Not Expected to Com
plete Work for Several Days.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or Feb. 2.
v Special.) It will probably be at
least a week and perhaps longer before
the committee, which is investigating
the affairs and condition and manage
ment of the Oregon State Penitentiary,
formulates Its report to the Legisla
ture. The members of -the committee have
gone partially over the ground, but
there probably will be some hearings
held and the vouchers and figures in
connection with the institution will be
examined.
This will consume some time, and in
addition to this it Is possible that the
members of the committee may wish
to make another visit to the institu
tion. If this Is done the report prob
ably will not be made until next Satur
day or Sunday, and it may not be ready
until the middle of the following week
after this visit.
Report on Probe Delayed Week.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or, Feb. 2.
(Special.) Although visiting the State
Industrial School, the joint legislative
investigating committee assigned to
that institution had nothing to say on
its return, further than that the mem
bers probably will have no report to
make for a week or two. The import
ance of the institution as a part of the
state government was mentioned by
Chairman Lester as one of the reasons
why, of necessity, the examination
should be as thorough as possible In
the time limited.
Hood River to Work for Change.
STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Or, Feb. I.
(Special.) Representatives of the Hood
River Irrigation District will appear
next week before the joint rrtgation
committee of the Legislature to discuss
the proposals In the Mitchell bill, which
offers some interesting phases on the
irrigation district question. The bill
proposes to change the method of col
lecting district assessments by placing
the county machinery at the disposal of
the district and collect the assessments
through the Sheriffs and the Assessors.
as municipal taxes are now collected.
Solon s to Stick to Jobs.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or., Feb. 2.
(Special.) Probably the last Friday
adjournment of the present session has
been taken. From now on it is ex
pected that both houses will work
through every week until final adjourn
ment is taken. It was considered use
less to attempt to remain in session
yesterday owing to the absence of such
a large number of members who were
away, or wished to be away in connec
tion with junketing trips and the work
of investigating committees.
GRAIN BAG PROBE URGED
CMATIM.A COrATT FARMERS
CHARGE MONOPOLY.
Price Advances Over Four Cents in
Tear Despite Heavier Crop
of Jute, I9 Complaint.
PENDLETON, Or., Feb. 2. Through
the local branch of the Farmers' Co-Op
eratlve and Educational Union, Uma
tilla County agriculturists are making
preparations to resist a so-called mo
nopoly on grain bags, which, they say,
bids fair to hit farmers of the Northwest
a hard blow during the coming harvest
season, by appealing to the Legislature
of the state and if necessary to Con
gress. Through their county president,
Manuel Friedley, and other officers, the
farmers today drafted, a resolution
which will be seat to the Legislature
requesting that it in turn ask Congress
to order an investigation at once of the
methods and operations of the grain
bag dealers.
At this season last year bags were
quoted at 6 cents while this year H
cents is asked, notwithstanding the jute
crop this year is said to be an excep
tionally heavy one. It is said that the
seat of trouble is with the company
supplying Jute. In support of this con
tention the case is cited of the State
of Washington last season sending a
man to India to buy jute for use in the
Walla Walla penitentiary and of his
finding the -India supply cornered. He
was unable to buy the product any
cheaper there than at home.
A shortage of bags is not plausible,
the farmers declare, for past experi
ence has demonstrated that any num
ber of bags can be had if the necessary
price will be paid for same.
RECALL THREAT IS MADE
Med ford Citizens Divided Over Ap
pointment of Mayor Eifert.
MED FORD. Or, Feb. 2. (Special.)
Medford is divided over Mayor Eifert's
selection of a market master. The city
market, established last year, was suc
cessfully managed by J. E. Run yard,
and there was a considerable demand
Lor his reappointment.
Following a precedent. Mayor Eifert
selected his own man for the office,
but only two Councilmen supported the
new appointee. Meanwhile petitions
have been circulated by Runyard's
friends asking for his retention and,
if the Mayor does not comply, threats
of recall are made.
According to Mayor Eifert's friends,
this is merely a political move on the
part of his enemies to embarrass the
new administration, and they will op- ,
pose an appointment unless It re
places Runyard.
The issue has divided the city Into
violent factions and the women are
taking an active part.
Miss Muck First to Register.
ST. JOHNS, Or.. Feb. 2 (Special.)
Miss Emma Muck, daughter of Mayor
A. A. Muck, was the first woman to
register for election in St. Johns. The

tration for the city primaries, to be
held March 8.

are not so well treated and have to
walk way across the Capitol to get a

Two years ago some practical joker
poured a quart of "blind pig" whisky
into the water cooler and a few of the
members complained, while others did
not. This year a guard is being kept
against an attempt to Inject a new fla

water is shipped from Portland in la,rge

Adoption of House Plan for
Congressional Reappor

CENSUS OF 1910 IS BASIS
Object of Proposed Rearrangement
Is to Distribute Population as
Near Equally as Possible
Among Five Districts.
OLTMPIA, ATash. Feb. I. (Special.)
After nearly three weeks of dickering
the House Cqngressonal reapportion
ment committee has adopted a plan of
reannortionine; the Congressional dis
tricts of the state, which it is thought
will be approved by both branches of
the Legislature. Tne committee win
report to the House tomorrow and the
report probably will be made a special
order for consideration some afternoon
during the week.
The committee has arranged Its re
apportionment according to the popu
lation as shown in the r eaerai census
of 1910. attempting to apportion the five
districts in such a way that each will
include as close to a fifth of the state's
population as possible and will embrace
counties having corresponding interests
and industries.
The City of Seattle, with 237,194 pop
ulation, is made into tne first aistnct.
Nine Western Washington counties with
a total population of 226,431 are em
braced in the second; nine others, with
an aggregate population of 268,646,' in
the third; 12 others, witn an aggregate
population of 189,846, in the fourtn, ana
eight others, with 219,352 population, in
the fifth.

He has been active in making acquain

THE "third House" is scheduled to
meet next Thursday night in the
Hall of Representatives. The appela
tion is no misnomer. It includes the
clerks, stenographers and such of the
old guard of the lobby regiment as can
be persuaded to- join in the festivities.
It Is a sacred biennial legislative cus
tom that has been handed down through
many sessions. Members of the "third
House" hold a mock session of the
genuine House. It is generally a rather
humorous affair, as a burlesque on the
legislators. It always draws a big
crowd, and from the plana that have
been made this year It should be bet
ter than ever.

aj West applies to the obsolete sec

tion of bicycle paths, and another that

programme at the Star Theater and
hundreds patronised this house. There
was a Vitagraph comedy, an Edison

in which was shown a battle royal be

furnished the musical numbers of the

The best show of the company was
at the Arcade, where the management
offered two two-reel features. "When
Lincoln Paid," told of a great episode
in the life of the martyred President,
and the other was the third of the Sher

a monologue with Lincoln in the back

LEGISLATURE
put the state Into the weather service
business. The Governor believes that
the code could be reduced in size at
least by half, and probably more, with
out destroying its effectiveness through
the repeal of scores of these old stat
utes. SENATOR HAL PATTON Is believed
by his friends to stand a likely
chance of becoming postmaster of Sa
lem. They say he has both of the Ore
gon United States Senators with him,
and that he la the only Republican who
has a chance of being confirmed by the
Senate.
NEITHER Senators nor Representa
tives are opposing any measures
which will tend to be of assistance to
the women. There Is a - noticeable
tendency at this session, to vote "aye"
for all such bills. They all now have
a new class of constituents at home,
from whom they are beginning to hear,
and they are heeding the new voice
nobly.
(: tANGAROOED" is a favorite ex
. I 1 presslon of Senator Kellaher. He
Insists that his constituents, or the peo
ple of the State of Oregon, shall not be
"kangarooed" in every speech that he
makes in the Senate or before a com
mittee. No one has been able to be
forthcoming with a definition of the
term.
DR. JOHN M'LOTJGHLIN, or rather
his portrait, has been an Inter
ested spectator of the legislative pro
ceedings of this Senate, and of many
in the past, from a vantage point behind
the president's chair. He was head of the
Hudson Bay Company's interests in
Oregon, and by courtesy of his position
was called Governor of Oregon up to
1843. While he has expressed no opin
ion as to his thoughts on Oregon Leg
islatures, some of his remarks might
be interesting if he could do so.
THAT lawyers disagree to the dis
comfiture of laymen has been
brought home during the past week,
especially to Senator Smith, of Coos
and Curry. He bad several - ideas as
to reform legislation along trust smash
ing and labor-protecting lines, and He
could think of no better man to draw
them than the Attorney-General, so to
the Attorney-General he went with his
ideas and they were drafted into bills.
Now the judiciary committee has
picked out most of them as being un
constitutional, and Senator Smith, who
Is a layman, is wondering. .
