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.

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

Tuglioat Endangered, nt Florence
and Has to Cut Loose to Cross
In Over Bar.
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.

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. So In
