SUIT IS INDORSED
Docks Commission, Piqued by
Company's Action, Backs
Request to Council.
LEGAL RIGHTS QUESTIONED
Failure to Send Representative to
Discuss Situation on Front Street
XorUj of Thurman Is Cause.
Dock Sites Taken Up.
Piqued by the attitude of the North
ern Pacific Terminal Company In not
convening in Joint assembly with the
Commission of Public Docks to discuss
the merits of a franchise under which
the company operates on Front street,
north of Thurman. but instead writing
that It could be utilized for belt-line
purposes for a financial consideration,
the Commission yesterday backed a re
quest to the Council that suit be Insti
tuted to determine If the tracks are
legally placed.
History In connection with the mat
ter was gone over to the effect that a
meeting had been held with Ed Lyons,
manager of the Northern Pacific Ter
minal Company, and It was understood
from his demeanor that he would take
the question up with directors of the
corporation and recommend that all
concerned meet In company, as he fa
vored the move. The plan of the Com
mission of Public Docks was for the
track north of Thurman street to be
thrown open as a common-user line and
then obtain permission to build south
rf Thurman street. It is held by the
Commission that prior to 1S83 a fran
chise was granted the company to lay
tracks north to Thurman street, but
when the city limits were extended
from there and the center of the track
rhanged. through an amendment to the
franchise, it Is contended the com
pany thereby earned the privilege of
building north of Thurman.
Bowles Explains situation.
J. R- Bowles, of the Northwest Eteel
Company, which occupies property In
cluded In the West Side dock site under
a lease from the Star Sand Company,
which will expire In two years, was
In consultation with the Commission
to ascertain definitely, if possible.
whether the municipality would insist
on using the property after thecon
demnatlon proceedings. He said it
would not work a hardship on the
company to relinquish Its dock after
the Summer months, hut that tttere was
between 6000 and 7000 tons of steel
xtored In the yards and 6S days would
! required to move that at a cost of
J 30.000. To move the entire plant
would take three to four months, he
said. About 93000 worth of steel was
In transit, he said, some coming on the
Danish steamer Klna from Europe, two
lots being due via the American
Hawaiian service in July and August
end another consignment from Europe
later that would come on a vessel not
vet declared. He said if the plant
could be moved In January, when bus!
ness was slack, the damage to be paid
by the city would be minimized.
As tha condemnation suit against the
Star Sand Company Is set for May 14.
It was decided to await its outcome, as
the decision may assist In solving the
Northwest Steel Company s dilemma.
G. B. Hegardt. chief engineer of the
Commission, reported that arrange,
ments had been made to drive test piles
on the Martin dock property and test
holes would be bored on the Star Sand
Company's holdings to determine the
character of the foundation.
Joint Meeting Planned.
H. E. Plummer. building inspector.
wrote the Commission that, pending
legal proceedings Instituted, no steps
were being taken to prevent the in
man-Poulsen Lumber Company from
constructing a new dock across street
ends, but that no permits were being
issued for the work.
In a letter from the Port of Port
land Commission it was stated that as
soon as additional data were gathered
on harbor conditions a joint meeting
would be arranged with the Commis
sion of Public Docks. In reference to
that an opinion was read from City
Attorney Grant.

JUVENILE MARKET IS IDEA
Women Arranging; to Put School
Products on Sale.
Portland Is to have a novelty this
Summer In the shape of a juvenile mar
ket. Mrs. Evans, city market Inspector,
who was one of the Judges at the school
garden exhibit last Summer, believing
many of the vegetables raised by the
children superior to those offered In
the markets, has conceived the idea
of establishing in one of the down
town buildings a market for the vege
tables and flowers raised in these gar
dens. She enlisted the aid of the club
women of the city, all of whom have
gone vigorously to work to carry it to
success.
School officials have been consulted
and will give the movement their sup
port. Within a few days the commit
tee will announce where the Juvenile
market will be established and other
details.

Condemnation Proceedings of City
Against Elevator Company.
Valuation of $310,250 was placed on
365 feet of waterfront wanted by the
city from -the Paclflo Milling & Eleva
tor Company for public dock purposes
by a Jury In Circuit Judge Kavanaugh's
court yesterday. This sum Is from
ST0.000 to 990.000 more than B. D. Slgler,
ex-County Assessor; George R. Funk,
a deputy assessor, and Joseph Paquet,
the city's experts testified It Is worth.
and from J56.000 to 9239,000 less than
witnesses for the defense placed its
value at. Fulton & Bowerman repre
sented the Pacific Milling & Elevator
Company.
Witnesses called yesterday py tne
milling company and their estimates
were as follows: H. H. Bancroft. 11000
front foot; W. B. Ayer. 9750.000; W.
IL Chapln. 912S0 a foot; M. W. Hunt,
91000 a foot: F. r. Kendall, iizou a
foot; C. C. Craig, $350,000, and A. C.
Callan, $350,000.
The amount allowed by the Jury fig
ures out at exactly $850 a front foot.
Mr. Slgler said $625 and Mr. Funk $600
and the estimate of Mr. Paquet was
substantially the same. Experts called

their estimates were: R. N. Tufford,
$1000 a foot; Ralph W. Hoyt, $1200 to
$1500 a foot; Samuel Connell, $1250 a

terday when Montgomery W ard & Co,
a big mall-order house of Chicago,
leased the building at Eighteenth and
Upshur streets, formerly occupied by
the Carman Manufacturing company,
for a distributing warehouse. It Is the
Intention, within a year or two, to
erect a large building here for use as
a branch house. The decision to locate

BOARDS NEARLY FILLED
lato of Charter Expected to Be
Known by Midnight Saturday.
With more than 90 per cent of the
election boards completely filled and
prospects for the remaining 10 per cent
being filled today, the outlook Is that
the special charter election and primary'
nominating elections of tomorrow will
be the most successfully conducted of
any In recent years. City Auditor
Barbur announced last night that In
no prior election on record in Port
land have the boards been so well sup
plied with officials as at present. Gen
erally It has been found necessary to
select most of -the clerks and judges
at the polling places on the day of the
election.
Of the. officials close to 45 per cent
will be women. There are approxi
mately 300 women signed up to serve
on either the day or night boards.
There will be but few precincts where
there are not women officials.
Arrangements have been completed
for handling supplies and the receiving
returns at the City Hall. Automobiles
will be on hand daring the day to
take supplies to precincts that run
short.
It Is believed that it will be possible
to ascertain before midnight the fate
of the charter. The charter votes will
be counted first, the Republican second,
the Democratic third and the Progres
sive last.

Clifford Morris. 18 years old and night
Janitor at the Majestic Theater, was
arrested late yesterday at Fourth and
stark streets by Detectives Mallett and
Price, and confessed to stealing the
automobile of J. R- Burke, a tlmberman.
of 450 East Twenty-second street
North. With him were arrested Fred
Collp, 18, who was arrested last Sum
mer on a similar charge, and Ray Em-
rick. 23 years old, a chauffeur. All were
charged with the theft or tne macnine,
which was taken from the front of the
Pantages Theater Saturday night, and
was found early Sunday in seiiwooo.
near the residence of one of the young
men.
Fifteen auto thefts, all evidently for
joy-rldlng purposes, in the last Beven
days, caused a stir in the police depart
ment, and Detectives Price and Mallett
were assigned to Investigation of the
Joy riders. In Jail Morris confessed the
theft of the Burke machine, but the
detectives also hope to prove a large
part of the recent thefts.
The scheme used for such thefts has
been, according to the detectives, to
steal the number from a small or cheap
car and to attach it to a larger and
better machine, in which they went
Joy-riding. Policemen, paying more at
tention to the number of the license
than to the make or appearance QjfL the
automobile, were deceived by the false
numbers. ,

by Richard Kochler.
Allescd failure of Philip Gevurta and

GET THE NUMBER
On January 1st, 1912, there were 670,000 automobiles in the United
States. '
That means one automobile for every 133 people. "When you figure
five people to a family, that means that there is an average of one
automobile for every 26 families in the United States.
All over the country literally thousands of cars are being bought
and sold every day. It certainly is unnecessary to say that these are
not all new cars.
And yet somebody is using every one of these cars; somebody ist
getting pleasure out of them. And many people are paying just about
one-third or one-fourth what these cars originally sold for.
You have no idea how many cars are running around whose last
price was $300, or $400, or $500. You have no idea how many f our-thousand-dollar
cars are selling for a thousand.
You have probably thought that you couldn't afford a car. But if
you only knew how little some of your friends have paid for their
cars, you would get that idea out of your head mighty soon.
Over in the want ad columns of The Oregonian, under the heading
of Automobiles for Sale, you will very quickly find that you can
afford a machine as well as the rest.
A few hundred dollars and a few gallons of paint, and away you
go whizzing across the country, enjoying every minute of these new
Spring days. And wondering why you have ever waited so long for
such supreme delight.
Now turn right to these want ad columns immediately. Begin look
ing for the car that fits your pocketbook. Begin getting in touch with
these people who are trying to sell. And before you know it there will
be some gasoline music in front of your door, and it will be the most
glorious Cantata of Delight you have ever heard.
And mention The Oregonian, please, when you answer these ads.
