"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

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,

Xew Voters Want to Know Whether
Tammany Machine Could Be
Bnllt Vp In Portland and
Why So Many Seek Office.
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

"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.

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.

Mother's Friend
K Duty that Every Man Owes to Those
who Perpetuate the Race.
It Is just as Important that men should
know of progressive methods in advance f
motherhood. The suffering, pain and dis
tress incident to child-bearing can be easily
avoided by having at hand a bottle of
Mother's Friend.
This is a wonderful, penetrating, exter
nal application that relieves all tension
upon the muscles and enables them to expand
without the painful strain upon the liga
ments. Thus there is avoided all those ner
vous spells : the tendency to nausea or morn
ing sickness is counteracted, and a bright,
sunny, happy disposition is preserved that
reflects wonderfully upon the character and
temperament of the little one soon to open
Its eyes In bewilderment at the Joy of his
arrival. You caa obtain a bottle of
"Mother's Friend" at any drag store at
$1.00, and It will be the best dollar's worth,
you ever obtained. It preserves the moth
er's health, enables her to make a quick
and complete recovery, and thus with re
