Growth of Portland In general and
tha East Side in particular waa shown
yesterday by railroad men who were
arueats at the luncbeon of the East Bide
Business Men'a Club at the Hotel Clif
ford. The Southern Pacific was repre
sented by H. A. Hansfaaw, general
freight agent; J. M. Mulchay. assistant
freight agent; J. N. Sutton, local
freight agent: Thomas Touchey. East
Side freight agent, and F. B. Eagan.

represented the Great Northern. The
long tables were tilled with business
men and shippers.
L. M. Lepper. who presided, reviewed
the railway situation on the East Side,
declaring that the Southern Pacific is
spending millions in electrifying lines
In the Willamette Valley that will
bring the products of the valley through
the East Side into Portland, and said
tbat through the new East Side freight
house of the Southern Pacific at East
First and East Oak streets, since De
cember. 71.040.000 pounds of freight
had been handled.
Depot Enlara-eeat Feasible.
H. A. Hanslaw, general freight agent
of the Southern Pacific, aaid that he
doubted whether the Importance of the
Kast Side was realized as a freight
district. He said that all the output of
the Willamette Valley and all freight
from the south must pass through the
Kast Side and declared that the best
results are obtained through the
friendly co-operation of the shippers
and the railroad company, whose inter
ests are common. Mr. Hanshaw ex
pressed his pleasure at meeting the
business men and declared that he was
greatly Interested In the development
of the East Side. Ho commented on the
great volume of business being han
dled in the new depot, which, he said,
may have to be enlarged.
Statistics Are Glvesu
J. M. Mulchay pointed out the tre
mendous growth of freight tonnage In
Portland received on the East 6lde.
"In 1908 a total of 944 cars were han
dled on the Eaat Side." he said, "but
In 1911 the volume of business in
creased to 5144 cars, a gain of 325 per
cent in four years. That tells some
thing of the tremendous growth of the
freight business toward the south over
the Southern Pacific "Jim" Hill said
there must be ample terminal facilities
for handling freight, and I think he
was right. There is right now being
developed a great Ireleht terminal on
the East Side. Our freight house there
is doing a big business and may have
to be enlarged, although 1 have nothing
to do with that.
"Immigrants are coming into Ore
gon and settling on farms in the Wil
lamette Valley. They must have a mar
ket for their produce In order to make
a living. We should have an open rtver
and must have more manufacturing
concerns. We must provide a market
for the farmers for those who are
coming to us. I am interested person
ally on the East Side, and the Southern
Pacific wants to see it grow and de
velop Just as much as thia club desires
It to grow.
rayroll SI .000,000 Yearly.
"The railroad payroll in Portland Is
about 14.000.000 a year. Fully 70 per
cent of the railroad men live on the
East Side and spend their money there.
It is essential that we should co-oper-ste
In the development of the East Side
aa our Interests are common."
J. N. Sutton and F. B. Eaton made
brief remarks. William Harder, repre
senting the Great Northern, expressed
pleasure over the developments in prog,
on the East Side, and declared
that the Hill interests will soon be
dolne1 something there.
A telegram was resd, dated at New
Tork. purporting to corns from J. Pier
pont Morgan, addressed to the East
Sid Business Men's Club, saying:
-Hearing that the East Side needs a
union passenger depot. I hereby order
It built, and for goodness sane let
th.m have it at once."
The chairman aald that, as Mr. Mor
gan was In Egypt, he doubted the au
thentlcitv of the dispatch, but that the
suggestion was good for the railroad
men present to ponder over.

NORTHWESTERN ELECTRIC COM
PAXY AGREES TO CHANGE.
Heating Plant for Service Through
out City Probably W ill Be In
stalled In Pittock Block.
With only the opposition of Council
man Magulre. the street committee of
tha ntv Council yesterday accepted
the provisions of a proposed city
steam-heating rrancnise asucu mi
the Northwestern Electric Company.
The franchise was sent to the Council
with recommendations that it be re
ferred to the City Executive Board for
the fixing of the valuation, after which
It will be returned to the Council for
final passage.
Councilman Magulre opposed the
franchise on the ground that the city
would be injured by advertising to the
world the fact that artificial heat Is
needed here. He said the ordinance to
require the streetcar company to heat
Its cars had been opposed for the same
reason, not only in the Council, but bji
business men and others who signed a
petition asking that the ordinance be
defeated for the bad advertising effect
it would have.
The committee before adopting the
franchise Inserted several amendments
which were left out originally because
provisions In the city charter cover the
same ground. It was considered best
by City Attorney Grant to have the
provisions inserted, and there, was no
opposition from the company, whicl)
was represented at the meeting by At
torney L. A. McN'ary and W. E. Coman,
general manager.
The new provisions call for a bond
to guarantee the expenditure of 1150,
000 in the extension of the heating
mains, and a bond to guarantee the
proper repairing of streets torn up in
laying the mams, ine city council is
given power, by another provision, to
regulate the company and its rates.
Notice is required before the company
can dispose of its holdings to any other
person, firm or corporation.
The plan of the Northwestern Com
pany is to install a large central heat
ing plant in the new Pittock block
being erected on Washington street.
The franchise covers the entire city,
giving the company the right to lay
mains for conducting steam heat and
hot water. It is cot believed there will
be any opposition to the .franchise In

POLICE TROUBLES
T
HREATEN
BREACH
Captain Keller Is Credited With
Responsibility for Much
Discontent.
CHIEF SLOVER IS AROUSED
IIl-Feellns; Said to Be Engendered
Because of Alleged Influences
Exerted on Members of Board
Over Department Head.
Out of the personal dissatisfaction of
Police Captain Keller with his berth
in the department has arisen a storm
In official circles.
Through Keller's activities, the ne
cessity has arisen for several unsched
uled meetings of the police committee
of the Executive Board and reports are
that high words have passed on several
occasions between members of that
body and Chief of Police Slover.
Some of the bidden strings by which
the police department is said to be con.
trolled have been dragged to light and
old-time friends have made new align
ments. For some weeks the committee has
had under consideration the supposed
necessity of some system by which pa
trolmen can be transferred automatic
ally from one relief to another after
a term of service. Those who favor
the plan point to the apparent injustice
of keeping a man month after month
cn the "graveyard" shift, while others
remain for long periods on the more
desirable reliefs. On the contrary side
It is argued that men should be as
signed according to their personal
adaptlbilities; that some cannot stand
the night work, while others actually
prefer it.
"Bumping" la Threatened.
A personal turn was given the con
troversy recently when Keller told
Riley that he was tired of the second
night relief and was going to "bump
somebody." Riley replied that he could
have the first night relief right away,
without any bumping. Keller then
said that he didn't want it; that he
wanted the day relief, which at pres
ent is held by Captain Moore, the
senior officer.
This coming the ears of Chief Slo
ver, the belligerent captains were
called to his office, where, it is said, a
stormy scene ensued.
Meanwhile someone had been busy
with members of the Executive Board
and a plan for an automatic shift was
drawn up and adopted, when Slover
got wind of it and made a hostile
demonstration. The adoption of the
system was rescinded.
Stormy Session Reported.
High words are said to have passed
in the committee room over the fact
that Influences are brought to bear on
the police department from many quar
ters, over the head of the titular head
of the force. Councilmen, Executive
Board members and private politicians
are said to be constantly active in reg
ulating the Interior discipline of the
department and Slover is frequently
made merely the registering machine
for edicts.
Slover. who has been Interfered with
from the time that he -was appointed
Acting Chief of Police, Is getting
downright angry and now Is almost at
the fighting pitch.
Keller, who is generally given the
credit for stirring up the dissension,
is Mayor Rushlight's particular selec
tion, being put In command of the sec
ond night relief when Slover was made
Chief, and at that time he was in high
favor with Slover. Disregarding civil
service regulations, he was held In that
position tor several months without an
examination being held to fill the va
cancy, and then, when one was called
and he failed to make the eligible list,
it was "discovered" that there was no
vacancy to fill. At the end of a year
the eligible list expired and a new ex
amination was called, in which Keller
qualified, but under conditions which
caused widespread criticism.
