Investigation of industrial condition
In Crntnil Orfion with a view Of
studying course for future develop
ment work Is the object of trip that
will bo started today by W. P. PtI
on, president of the Oreon Western
Colonization Company, who arrived in
Portland yesterday morning, and la
TV. Hill, chairman of the board or di
rectors of the Great Northern Railway,
who will arrive here this morning.
Mr. Hill and Mr. Davidson have de
voted the last week to a study or con
ditions In Eastern Oreaon and upon
leaving- Portland this morning will go
dtrct to Bend, from which place they
will tour the territory south and south
east. It is understood that the object of
this trip ia not for the purpose of lay
Ins; out a route for further railroad
extensions, but to learn how rapidly
the country has developed In the last
year and to determine what action is
necessary to aid in further develop
ment. It has been about a year since Mr.
Hill made Ms last thorough Inspection
of Central Oregon conditions and he
ia eager to learn what progress haa
been made there since then. He is as
sociated with Mr. Davidson in the Ore
gon A Western Colonization Company,
which Is bringing scores of settlers to
tiie state.

We took In more than 100 prospec
tive land buyers last week." said Mr.
ttavldson yesterday. "We have ar
ranged to bring In more than 1000
farmers who want Oregon land this
(Summer.
Mr. Davidson reports that the O.y
TV. R. & Jf. Company Is "making; thing!
bum" on the new line now being built
from Vale westward toward Crescent
on fhr Southern Pacific. A lot of set
tlers are coming Into the state over
that road. Trains soon will begin op
erating between Vale and Dentura.
about 35 miles westward.
"There Is a lot of excitement over
In. the Harney Valley over the gaa and
oil discoveries." said Mr. Davidson, "but
so far they have failed to prove dis
coveries of commercial value. In some
places they have encountered a good,
strong pressure of pas. but it hasn't
been utilized, so far. for fuel. Oil
men are confident that they will strike
the proverbial gusher before the Sum
mer la over and if that occurs It wll
mean mneh for the development of the
Harney Valley."
Fares I a a; la Diversified.
"Thousands and thousands of acres
of new land will be brought Into bear
ing this year. Farmers are plowing
whole sections of land that never was
turned under before. Most of this will
be seeded to wheat, but the farmers In
that country are practicing diversified
mer Is over and if that occurs it will
deal for stock-raising. Wneat yields
4S or to bushels an acre In the Harney
Valley, while In Minnesota and Dakota
they are lucky to get 25 bushels. The
Oregon people don't know the latent
possibilities of tlielr own soil."
Mr. Hill probably will remain In
Portland only a few hours tbis morn
ing, but both he and Mr. Davidson ex
pect to return the latter part of the
week. They may remain here for the
Rose Festival, aa Mr. Hill never miases
Portland's annual attraction If he can
help It.
COMMISSION MEN PROTEST
State OfriciaU Advised That New
Law will Be Tested.
Opposition to the state law regulat
ing commission merchants was voiced
at a meeting of commission men with
the State Katlroad Commissioners at
the courthouse yesterday morning. At
torney Chris Bell, representing an as
sociation of the brokers, declared that
the law Is unconstitutional and that
the first opportunity will be taken to
brine a test case in the courts. The
meeting was helJ for the purpose ot
Informing the commission men of the
view of the law taken by the Railroad
Commission and bom It Is expected to
be enforced. A part of the session
held behind closed doors.
The law. which was adopted at the
last session of the Legislature, pro
vides for licensing commission mer
rhants. who are also required to
furnish bon-1. The brokers must
famish to the consignors of farm
produce within a week a true state
ment of amount sold and price re
ceived. Licenses will cost fa each and
are made revocable by the Railroad
Commission whenever it can be shown
that a holder has been dishonest In his
business relations with a client. Heavy
fines and prison terms also are named
as penalties for violation.
The commission men contend that
the statute la class legislation. The
law waa passed under the theory that
It Is reasonable use of the police
power of the state made necessary by
abuses.
NEW SCHOOL OFFICER HERE
I.. ,rt. Alderman Preparing to Take
Vp Dutle of New PoM.

intendent of the Portland public schools,

SOCIALIST CASE DROPPED
District Attorney Ask for Dis
mlal of Salt.
On the gronnd of "Insufficient evi
dence in that the attack, although
brutal, coarse and low, is not obscene
within the purview of the law aa In
terpreted by the better weight of au-
thorltv." the Indictment against sev

agents for the Royal Mail fleet, also
operating here. Is quotes as navin
paid that there was .no intention, oi
maintaining a direct service from here
with the larger vessels, because of the
bar.
It Is mainly for those reasons that a
eathering is to be held today, attended
by shipping men and those having to do
with the work or deepening ana im
proving the channel, at which the sit
uation will be discussed. There Is no
question but that Portland's present
commerce Is being taken care of and
10.000-ton steamers have been accom
modated on the bar, but it is realized
that Jn order to provide for the future
every effort must bo made to increase
the depth.
Kaovtledge Declared General.
"There Is Information In possession
of the shipping world as to the depth
of water at the mouth of the river."
said Mr. Klrchhon. "It is time for
those who are tender on the subject to
face the facts. The situation is such
that action must be taken immediately
if we are to keep pace with future com
merce. Objections have aireaay Deen
made to loading certain steamers below
24 feet, not because they' got into trou
ble going out. but owing to the wait
they were subjected to for tides. We
know that carriers of much greater
draft have gone to sea. yet so long as a
master objects there is little that can
be -done unless some other person rep
resenting the owners would shoulder
the responsibility.
"Should a direct line be recommend
ed from Portland and steamers sent of
the type now being built, it would be
a fine arrangement for the port, but
I'm afraid that in the event of an acci
dent the service would be of short de
ration. Portland Is to get the li st fa
cilities the Hamburg-American can as
semble under the existing schedule.
Cargo will be moved promply and
swiftly and If the trade exceeds the
tonnage, more will be diverted here,
but that Is only for today. The future
must be borne in mind and the ship
ping world must be convinced before
we can expect to get the larger fleets."
Announcement Made In Seattle.
It was given out last week that the
steamers Flintshire and Falls of Orchy.
of the Royal Mail flag, would sail from
Portland to the Orient and Manila di
rect and by some it was assumed that
the practice would be continued. Mr.
Gillespie Is quoted in the Seattle Post
Intelligencer on that point as follows:
"Although both the Flintshire and
Falls of Orchy will clear from Portland
direct, we have no intention of making
that a custom. These two vessels are
small carriers and can easily make the
call at Portland. However, we will
not attempt to send the large fretgh-
ers of the Royal Mall to the Columbia,
as it Is doubtful if they could get over
the river bar. At least we are going
to take no chances."
The first step shipping men hope to
see inaugurated In the work on the
bar is the return of the dredge Chinook,
for they argue that with the channel
now defined leading Into the river her
operation would prove more successful
than In the past. ith officers in
charge, she Is lying at the Government
moorings and can be commissioned in
about two weeks. Major Mclndoe has
had the matter of her future operation
under consideration, but has awaited
full details from the recent bar survey
before determining what should be
done.

for today, 17 feet tomorrow and 17.8
feet Thursday. After that Mr. Beals
thinks the river may remain station
ary or even fail slightly, but should
another period of warm weather be ex
perienced there will be enough water
to brin the stream higher. The crest
of the Summer freshet usually arrives
early in June, but this season Mr. Beals
thinks it may not pass until the mid
dle of the month. Preparations are be
ing made to swim between 250 and
300 head of beef cattle from Sauvie's
Island to escape the freshet.
They were left on the Island as long
as possible to get the benefit of pat
turage. 1
LOWER RIVETl TRIP ARRANGED
Astoria AVI11 Entertain Portland- In
spection Party This AVeek.
As guests of the Astoria Chamber of
Commerce, members of the navigation
committee of the Portland Chamber of
Commerce will go" to the lower harbor
Friday and Bpend two days In the In
terest of maritime matters. The trip
one way will be made by steamer, so
that the road from Portland to the sea
may be viewed, and the party expects
to go to the bar ana to visit me jeny
plants. If time is allowed.
The journey will be in the nature of
a "get-togetner session wim mo a
tori Interests. It Is reasoned that
Tortiand and Astoria are Jointly inter
ested In Improvements at the mouth of
the Columbia, and the feeling of har
mony will be strengthened. The com
ing of new fleets to tne isortn .t-aciLic
Coast means that Astoria s marine
prowth will be stimulated as wen aa
that of this city, and while Portland
has had to do pricipally with the chan
nel on the Willamette and Columbia,
the Government looking after the lower
river, the aim is to make improvements
at the mouth the mutual concern of
both cities. Experienced marine ana
shipping men will join tne party, so
that all conditions can be intelligently
gone over.

Marine Notes.
The Aurelia is at Knappton.
The Olyrapla sails from Rainier with
lumber for California, early this morn
ing. The San Ramon arrived at 1:20 A. M.
yesterday and berthed at Couch-street
dock.
The J. B. Stetson, which is at East
ern & Western Mills dock, will load
grain at the North Bank dock.
Hailing from San Francisco the
schooner Beulah arrived In Sunday and
was towed to the St. Helens tie boom
yesterday by the tug Wallula.
Wheat Is to be started aboard the
British ship Caledonia at the North
Bank dock today. She was shifted to
a berth there yesterday from Linnton.
The water rose steadily in the Wil
lamette River yesterday. At the har
bor partol station, at the foot of Stark
street, there was a -registered depth
of 1 feet above zero at 4 P. M.
After working steadily with but a
few hours for rest, the Rose City will
get away Tuesday morning at 9
o'clock, which is her regular sched
uled time of departure.
Under a lease to private interests the
dredge Sandy will be towed to Kalama
today by one of the Diamond O steam
ers, and she Is to engage in filling low
land there with material from the
river.
Coarse sand encountered by the Port
of Portland dredge Willamette, in
North Portland harbor, played such
havoc with her pumps that she was
shut down yesterday while they were
rellned.
Additional testimony was given be
fore United States Inspectors Edwards
and Fuller yesterday bearing on a col
lision April 28 between the steamer
Yellowstone and the river steamer Her
cules, the latter having three barges
of rock in tow.
The Rose City, of the "Big Three"
line, arrived at 8 o'clock last night
with 217 passengers and 1200 tons of
freight. The Rose City was two daya
late on account of having undergone
engine repairs at San Francisco. The
voyage was pleasant and uneventful.
R. A. Bensell. of Newport, has re
ceived word from Senator Lane and
Representative Hawley that the newly
discovered halibut banks lying off 1"a
quina Bay will be surveyed by the
Government. This may result in a
fleet of fishing schooners being fitted
out in the Columbia.
With wheat stowed in the hold the
steamer Yellowstone left the harbor
last evening for Stella to work a deck
load of piling. The steamer Carlos
cleared for Los Angeles with 680 tons
of wheat and 400,000 feet of lumber,
and the Rochelle cleared for Sail Fran
cisco with general cargo.
Hugh Brady, municipal grappler,
tried to land two Immense salmon that
found their way into, the slip at the
foot of Stark street yesterday, but he
found that a pike pole was not proper
fishing gear. A number of salmon have
been swimming close to the surface
there during the present freshet.
M. Talbot, manager of the Port of
Portland, returned from Puget Sound
last evening, after having inspected the
new drydock of the Seattle Construc
tion & Drydock Company, on which
a new type of keel blocks is in use.
The Port of Portland is to renew blocks
on the public drydock and material
alone would cost about $2000. but It is
said about half the expense can be
saved through the substitution of the
blocks adopted at the Seattle plant.
Though her overhauling is yet in
progress, the steamer Hassalo was
given her annual inspection yesterday,
lying at Ash-street dock. She will not
resume service to Megler and Astoria
until June 21. The sldewheel steamer
T. J. Potter was floated from the Port
of Portland drydock and towed to the
"boneyard," where her repairs are to
be finished. She will be commissioned
June 28.
It is promised that the steamer Rose
City, of the "Big Three" fleet, will get
away on time for San Francisco this
morning, though she did not arrive
until 8 o'clock Sunday evening, three
days late. Longshoremen have worked
day and night in discharging her in
ward cargo and getting aboard freight
for the south. The steamer Beaver is
due in this afternoon.
