20 DOCKS COMMISSION LOOKS TO COUNCIL Acquisition of Strip on West Side From Levee to Burn side Is Held Up. COMPROMISE HOPE LEFT Committee From Chamber of Com merce Is Told Action on Build Ins w Wharves Will Be Rushed Soon as Possible. Action will not be taken by the Com mission of Public Docks looking to the acquisition of property on the west side of the harbor, extending from the city levee, at Jefferson street, to the Burn-nide-street bridge, a strip that Is held by some properly to nelong to the city, unless a compromise is effected among the Commissioners, as a motion to se cure an abstract of title to a portion of the property was lost yesterdry. The matter came up on motion of ran Kellnhcr that an abstract should be ordered on one of the blocks, picked at random, to determine if the present possessors bad clear title. Ben Selling and John Burgard objected to the Commission undertaking the work, say ing that it was a matter to be begun by tho Council. "I think we have all the litigation we want now with the suits pemlinK to condemn dock sites." remarked Commissioner Burgard. and Commis sioner Selling coincided with him. F. It". Mulkey. chairman, spoke in favor of the Kellaher motion. "When Com missioner Moores cast his ballot with Commissioners Selling and Burgard the motion was lost. Flea la Harry ct Dork Made, A. H. Averill. president of the Cham ber of Commerce, with Joseph X. Teal, A. H. Devers. v . u. MePherson. C. t. Adams and William MacMaster. ap peared before the Commission as t special committee from the Chamber of Commerce, to urge that the con struction of new docks be hurried if possible. The Commission agreed to substitute mill construction for fire proof as one means of expediting l start and it was estimated that if legal entanglements were overcome within a reasonable time the first dock would be under way by July 1. Commissioner Mulkey said the pro posed warehouses could be held up and only the piers built, later planning to ask the voters for a special appropria tion for warehouse purposes. Mr. Teal favored the idea. The life of a mill constructed dock was estimated at'from 2i to 30 years. Under sucli a plan concrete firewall would be built every BOO feet. Tba question of purchasing dock sites outright was talked of. Commissioner Mulkey saying that It might entail an added expenditure of a considerable amount over what the property could be secured for under condemnation, but ' Mr. Teal said If the practice of recent juries was followed in giving verdicts, the Commission might make money by paying the price asked. Deputy City Attorney Latourette was Instructed to secure the earliest possi ble data for the condemnation suit against the Star Fand Company, for property pear the foot of Seventeenth street. Boad Sale Xrxt Step. It was voted that Frank Grant. City Attorney, be asked to draft an ordi nance providing for the sale of $1,200. 000 worth of bonds, the issue to have a life of 30 years and bear interest at the rate of 44 per cent. They will be dated May 1. So far the Commis sion has disposed of 150.000 of the bonds, but as one dock site's estimated cost Is $300,000 and the other $400,000, it Is desired to have funds ready when a decision is given In the Circuit Court. Commissioners Kellaher and Selling made a report on a location for the new flreboat David Campbell, the site being where the west approach of the old Steel bridge was built, and between Ainsworth dock and old Alaska dock. In the matter of advertising for bids for the construction of a recreation pier and motorboat landing at the foot of Stark street, G. B. liegardt. chief en gineer, will bave adjacent property owners sign waivers today and bids will be called for. An application from tho Inman-Poulsen Lumber Company for permission to make extensive re pairs to the mill dock, was granted except at street ends, because there Is a suit pending In the Supreme Court in which the city seeks to oust the cor poration from the thoroughfares. As some of the Government monu ments marking the harbor lines are missing, the Commission authorized tlmt new ones be established. A vote 'f thanks was. given II. C. Wortman for his kindness In placing the cruis ing launch Sea Otter at the disposal of the Commission for the entertainment !f visitors. TWO VIEWS NEAR PRUTEVTLLE.

FLORENCE, Or, March 20. On her last trip from Coos Bay the steamer Robarts met with a series of misfor tunes culminating In the loss of the barge which she was towing. She crossed out of Coos Bay Sunday at 4 P. M. in a smooth sea, towing a barge loaded with coal for the John son-Anderson Company, and just after she crossed the bar was struck by a huge wave which carried away one third of the coal from the barge. There was no further serious mishap until toward morning when tho sea became excedingly rough. Reaching; the Sius Iaw, Captain Robert Jones decided it would be better to cross in, and at daylight Monday morning the attempt was made. The sea was too heavy however, and the barge which could not be controlled, drifted out of the channel pulling the tug boat with It and for about half an hour both were stuck on the north spit, with the seas washing over the boat and into her pilot-house. Captain Jones finally ordered that the hawser be cut and the Robarts freed herself and steamed out to sea. Making a fresh start she crossed the bar safely. It is not thought that the barge will be lost, as it is high and dry on the beach at low tide, and the coal will be taken off and hauled to the Jetty barge may be floated on a high tide, by teams. When free of her cargo the The Captain Is given credit for saving the boat under the circumstances. School System of Central Oregon Town Is Notable for Excellence. Cattle Industry Is Most Profitable One. , BT ADDISON BENNETT. PRINEVILLE. Or- March 20. (Spe cial.) In the recasting of the map of Crook County, made necessary by the building of the two railroads up the Deschutes Canyon. the "Man Who Don't Know" Is liable to think, get lng his mis-information from town- boomers, that the stable old metropolis of Prinevilie has dropped Into a hole in the ground, or perhaps blown away Take the cattle sale from the Russell ranch, of which I told recently. The published account of that sale located the ranch about 60 miles away from its proper place, near a town on the railroad some SO miles from where the cattle were entrained. While such re ports, and thev are numerous and glar ingly misleading, do no harm to the initiated, they prove rather disconcert ing to one not posted. It Is oulte true that Prinevilie is IS miles from the railroad; it is equally true that a very large share of the traffic upon which the railroads sub sist emanates at and around Prine vilie. For this la beyond all doubt the political, social, ftnancial and commer cial capital of Crook County. There is in no other town of equal size in Oregon, more money or more public spirit than in this little city on the Ochoco. The trouble has been that the people here have been under the Impression that either the Harriman of the Hill system would build a branch from the main line to this place, taking en route the wonder fully rich country along Crooked River and in the Lamonta country. As soon as it is definitely settled that neither company will do this there is not particle of doubt about the rrineville people building tne iinev tnemseives. Towns To Be Supplied. When writing from here a little less than two years ago. I made an extended mention of the Cove Power Company, which concern was at that time build ing a power plant on the Deschutes River near Cove, a half dozen miles or so west of Culver. A few months ago a Spokane concern came in here and bought this plant, also one at Cline's Falls, a place a few miles west of Redmond, also on the Deschutes. The new concern Is called the Central Oregon Power Company, with a cap ital of $400,000, and perhaps before this letter Is published, the new com pany will be lighting Culver, Metolius Lamonta. Madras, Terrebonne and Prinevilie, with ample power left to run any machinery that may be set up and to light any other towns that may come Into existence. Redmond was lighted and had power from the Cllne Falls plant, and of course that town has the same sys tem. onlv under another name. Another concern here doing a lot of work Is the Pioneer Telephone Com pany, which owns all of the corpora tion lines in the county, and connects with all of the farmer and private lines. This company is now spending a good many thousand dollars m prac tically rebuilding the entire system and in extending the connections. It is now possible to reach any part of the state over these lines, and direct connections are made with all prom inent points in the interior, such as Burns, Lakevlew and Klamath, and all points west of the Cascades. The city of Prinevilie has improved a good deal since my last visit, several large business structures acd a num ber of residences having been com pleted and occupied during the last six or seven months. In questioning the business men I found that business shows a steady growth. The banks make the same report, and the school census shows a gooa gain in popu lation. School System Excellent. Speaking of schools leads to the statement that in many respects Prine vilie has the best school system of any small city in Oregon. For many ye.-rs the people of this community have felt that It devolved upon tnem 10 lurnisn as srood school facilities as could be obtained anywhere for the children of the large landowners and stockmen of the whole county, and they have well discharged their duties so that a school system second to none in the North west Is being maintained. Prinevilie is, of course, dependent on the success of the farmers and stockmen of the tributary country. Perhaps no community In the state watches the cattle and wool market more closely than do the residents here. The prices of grain and farm products in general do not interest them so much, for about all that is rained hereabouts Is fed to the stock. And perhaps this has something to doj with the railroad proniem. as me si tle. sheep, hogs and horses that are turned off by the growers and dealers can easily be driven to the railroad al most as cheaply as they could be en trained at Prinevilie. Even the large clip of wool can easily stand the cost of hauling a few miles: so can butter and cheese.
