GRANT PROVES I II UPHELD opinion is. r for W vo Coercion Charged In Reqowt for Waiver of Title Made to Prop erty Owners Matter Indefi nitely Postponed. "In this case the action of the Port of Portland Commission seems reasou--w iminn In famine out Its pri mary and essential duty of dredglnr this harbor, and we have no doubt as to Its right to make the nil in ques tion." is the text of an opinion sub mitted to the Tort of Portland yester day by Wood. Montague Hunt, coun sel for that body, which bears on a con troversy In which the Commission of Public Docks feel!" that the Port of Portland should not continue a fill on property of the Kastern & Western Lumber Company In the face of the lat ter' refusal to sign a waiver of title to filled land The Port nf Portland Commission submitted the question to Its legal ad visers In advance of yesterday s meet Inn and more extensive opinion is ex pected covering the general authority vt the Commission of Public Docks. The attorneys reported that they did not care to say if the Pock body had authority to prohibit fills or demand a waiver, as they wished to study that phase of the matter. They stated that the Port of Portland Commission was more than a municipality and is the agent of the state In creating- a deep harbor here and a deep channel to the aea. Coercion la Charged. H requested the Commission of Public Docks to orovlde for bulkheads on the waterfront ao as to fill behind them with harbor material." said S M. Meara. president of the Commission. "They did that but made It mandatory and it seems to me that they are coerc ing property owners when they ask them to sign a waiver of title." "I move that the matter be placed on the table indefinitely or until they show us they have a rlirht to dictate to the Porr of Portland." said Captain K. W. Spencer, and a motion was car ried "that no steps be taken pending further advice from the attorneys. A ropv of a resolution passed by the Com mission of Public Docks, referring to the Kastern & Western mill and calling it to the attention of Governor West and Attorney-General Crawford, waa read and filed. The matter of providing coaling fa. clllttes here ior the benefit of steamers plying to foreign harbora went over un til the next meeting. A report was sub mitted by M. Talbot, general manager, stating that as a result of his investi gations he found that Washington coal mined by the Pacific Coast Company, could be made available here at S3 a ton and coal from Vancouver Island at IS. SO a ton. The hull of an Iron vessel could be purchased at San Kranclsco to be used for transporting coal from Brit ish Columbia to Portland at from 1I. 000 to S14.G0O and about 700 additional would be required to equip It for the work, while a wooden hotl could be chartered for the same work at $350 or J 4 00 a month. Owner Caa Afford Price. He said that ahipowners liad written that they could afford to pay from $S.4 to 5.7S a ton for British Columbia coal, but one firm, the American Trading Company.' wrote that It would pay no more than coal could be purchased for on Puget Sound or in nrltish Columbia. C. 1. Doe. head of th Norih Pacific Steamslp Company, made a proposition lo compromise a case now on appeal at San Francisco. In which the Port of Portland Commission obtained Judg ment In the sum of 73S with 6 per cent Intereot added from 1906. the amount representing a balance due for dry-do-'klng the steamer G". W. Klder. "As we have spent all the monex we sn on that case, we might as well get all we can out of It. and I move that we await the action of the court." was the motion of D. C O'Reilly, and It tarried. The Commission approved the ex penditure of J1S30 for the purchase of the launch Astoria, for use as a tender for the dredge Columbia, also the leased of the sttamer Pronto for $3.i0 a month, as tender for the dredge Portland, an extra steamer being necessary because the dredges are scattered: the Portland being here, the Willamette at North Portland Harbor and the Columbia at Cand Inland Report I Reqaeafcd. R. p. Inman railed the attention of the Commission to the fact that J3T.0 a month represented Interest on a large sum and that as there bad been under consideration a plan of building a new bar tug and retiring the Wallula to river work. It might be taken up again. Manager Talbot was asked to submit a report covering the situation and whether a steam vessel or one equipped with a Piessel engine should be con sidered. It was voted to allow Fred Anderson, a boiler maker employed by the Com mission. IST.O for the loss of his left eye. which was Injured while he waa at work and to pay hospital and surgeon fees.

Crowe Co. from the Hamburg office of Hans Hinrlch Schmidt, owners of the German bark Mlml. which cap sised off Brighton Beach Sunday morn ing. K. C.

City Attorney Grant yesterday after noon won for himself the title of heavy weight champion of diplomatic artists of the city when he proved himself a veritable wonder at answering: keen, sharp-edged questions, hurled at him by about 100 of the most alert-minded women of Portland at a meeting pre sided over by Alice R. Nugent In the Medical building. He neither defend ed nor attacked the proposed commis sion charter. He gave Mayor Rush light full credit for having placed it before the people. "1 wish to congratulate my friend. Mr. Grant, on his showing as a diplo mat in his answers to you ladies." said K. K. Kubli, candidate for Councilman-at-Large, who followed. "I declare that I cannot tell, from what he said, whether he favors the proposed char ter or not, but 1 want to say to you that Mr." Grant knows all about the city government and Is qualified to sppak on charters." Mr. Grant explained the present char, ter to the women and then took up the proposed form, going into its details. The women were primed for him and, when he Invited them to ask questions, the fun began. Salarlea Tackled First. "Why are the salaries so low?' asked one woman. I do not think $5000 a year is enough for a man who Is ca pable of running a city department." "Personally I agree with you." replied Mr. Grant, smiling'y. "But, lady, you must remember that the people of Portland have not been very fast to increase salaries." Here he grinned broadly and added: "I know, for they turned down my own petition." "What enect has commission gov ernment had where it has been tried?" asked another woman. "Taxes have been reduced." said Mr. Grant, "and. so far as known, no city has ever gone back to the old form af ter trying commission government." "Is it customary for great corpora tions to allow their officers both to levy and expend their appropriations and funds?" asked a keen-eyed woman, half rising and leaning eagerly fijr wa rd. ' "Generally they have a board of di rectors to make the appropriations and officers to experd." replied Mr. Grant. "Just so," quickly replied the wo man, "and I do not think it wise that the Mayor and commissioners should both levy taxes and have direction of the expenditures." Mecall Held to Be Costly. "Can they recall the Mayor and com missioners?" was asked. "Oh, yes," replied Mr. Grant. "How much would it cost?" asked another woman. "About $9000," replied Mr. Grant, whereat there was laughter. "Can't they build up a regular Tam many Hall machine under this pro posed commission charter?" piped up the little woman who had asked prev iously about taxation and expendi tures. "It depends upon the electors," said Mr. Grant, benignly. "If the electors are careful, I think not; if careless, yes." "Has mot Multnomah County had commission government for years?" asked a woman somewhat older than other questioners. "Virtually so," Mr. Grant replied. "Has it proved a success?" - "I think so." said Mr. Grant. "I advise the women of Portland to study and see whether It has or not," concluded the woman.. "Speaking of salaries," said one wo man, "you say they are low, but I no tice there is always a big crowd of candidates how do you explain that?" Credit la Given to Mayor. "They wish to serve for the honor there is attached to service," ex plained Mr. Grant. "They are public spirited citizens who want to give of their time and talents to make the city better." "I do not think." said a woman, "that it is right to ask any real, live man to work for the city as Councilman for $2; a month, as -we do now." Mr. Grant gave Mayor Rushlight full credit for bringing together the vari ous charter factions of the city. He also declared that Mayor Rushlight is the first executive of the city who has provided for a sinking fund to take up the city's bonds as they fall due. Mr. Kubli declared that it was the men elected to office who made good or bad government not the charter. He attacked the preferential voting: system, contained In the proposed com mission charter, and took the view that It was defective. Mr. Grant had defended it. SHIPS TO TOUCH ASTORIA Coast City Advised of Intention of Koyal Mail Company. ASTORIA. Or.. April 10. (Special.) That the Royal ilail Steam Packet Company Is planning to aend 20,000-ton steamers to the Columbia River so soon as tlfe Panama Canal is open to traffic is Indicated in a letter received today by E. M. Cherry, of this city, from A. M. Gillepsle. of Seattle, vice-president of Frank VTaterhouse & Co.. Pacific Coast agents for the Royal Mail. The letter says In part: 1 may say It Is the Intention of the company to operate very large passenger and freight steamers from Europe to tha more important points on the Pacific Coast as far north aa Vancouver, on the opening of the Panama Canal in 1015. These steam, era will not be sent to Portland, but the a;enertil manager of the campany would like to have them call at Astoria, provided the draft of water on the bar permits, and ade quate facllitlea are provided. RECCE XEARS ALASKAN PORT storla Company Soon to Send Other Vessels Xorth. ASTORIA. Or.. April 10. (Special.) George H. George, manager of the Co lumbia River Packers' Association, re ceived a wireless message this morn ing from the ship Reuce that Is en route to Chignlk Bay, Alaska. Every one waa well aboard.

' The association's ship St. Nicholas will sail for Nushagak River next Tuesday and the Alaska Fishermen's Packing Co.'s ship SL Francis and bark W. B. Flint will sail for Bristol Bay about the same time. f-r at ft "MERGER" TALK HIT Power Companies' Consolida tion Held Undesirable. W. E. COMAN TELLS WHY General Manager of Xorthwestern Says, Aside From l&al Impossi bility, Streetcar Business Xot Wanted by Associates. Not only would, a merger of the Northwestern Electric Company with the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company be Illegal, but it would be un desirable, and probably the last under taking in which his associates would care to venture, declares "W. E. Coraan, vice-president and general manager of the Northwestern Electric Company. Mr. Coman said yesterday that If the City Council wanted to investiaate the reported efforts of the .Northwestern to buy out the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company his- concern would give every possible assistance. Any transfer of stock, he pointed out. would necessarily have to be recorded on the books of the company whose stock was sold. These books are open to any commute that wants to carry on the investigation, he declares. Oman Tries to Trace "Rumor." "I have tried to find out," said Mr. Coman, "the source or councilman Clyde's information, but he has been unable to state ennueiy wnere no learned that we were attempting to buv the stock of our competitors be yond saying that it was 'rumored 'I have written officers of our com pany in San Francisco In an endeavor to find out why this report started. and am expecting to hear from them within a day or so. The ordinance giving us our fran chise is plain. It requires not only that we cannot sell our property or me stock of our company to any competing concern, but specifies also that we can not merge with another company in an effort to create a monopoly. "I am positive that the officers of our company do not want to buy the Portland Railway, Light & Power Com pany and' that they don't want to en gage in the street railway business In any way. They have organized for the purpose of conducting a light, heat and power business and we don't want to go beyond that scope. We don't con sider the acquisition of a street rail way property a desirable move." Little Attention Is Paid. 'n one seems to give Councilman Clvde's attempted investigation of the "merger" any value further than that of political capital. While a change of ownership of the Portland Hallway, Light & Power Com pany is not considered an economic impossibility, it is almost certain that the Northwestern Is not in the market for such a property, even though the interests back of It are known to be capable, financially, of acquiring it. It is known that the Portland Rail way, Light & Power Company would ntrtain a proposal for the purchase of its interurban properties, so that more attention could be given to the development of power service, which Is considered of growing importance.

Following an Investigation yesterday of the plans for the construction of the 15-story Northwestern Fidelity build-, ing. on Sixth and Morrison streets.

BAKER TO LOSE MILITIA Company A to Be Disbanded May 10 Because of Lack of Efficiency. BAKER, Or., April 10. (Special.). Company A, Oregon National Guards, will be disbanded about May 10. While no official notice has been sent out by the department, all indications are that Baker will lose Its militia. At a meet ing of the commanding officers of the different companies throughout the state, held In Portland last week. Gen eral Finzer stated to Captain C. H. Mc Colloch that more than likely orders would be sent out calling for-the dis banding about May 10. The cause is due to lack of efficiency and non-attendance of members. At the last inspection but 12 men were pres ent and Lieutenant Endicott remarkeO at that time it would probably mean a bad report. The disappearing targets were ordered shipped to Portland not long ago. and Captain McColloch's resignation has not been accepted, al though H. J. Horton was elected to his position last month.
