Newspaper Page Text1G THE MORNING OREGON! AX. TUESDAY, JUNE 34, 1913. U. B. SGOTT IS DEAD Pioneer Mariner Succumbs to Heart Disease at 86. BOATS TESTIFY TO ABILITY Remarkable Sliallow-Draft Vessels Built From Unique Designs In Service Still at Many Points on Pacific Coast. Captain U. B. Scott, foremost of Co lumbia River pioneer boatmen, died yesterday morning- from heart disease at the age of 86 years. Captain Scott was commodore of the Columbia River & Puget Sound Navigation Company until a year ago, when he resigned. His death took rlace at "Woodland, Wash., where he lived with his wife and son. E. B. Scott, on his son's ranch. Captain Scott came to Portland from Ohio 40 years ago. He had been mas ter and pilot of Ohio River vessels, and upon arriving- in Portland built a river boat, the Ohio, which drew less than IS Inches laden and made a trip to Eugene in her. This craft cleared 10.000 in three months and was copied by many other builders. Those who were partners in this venture were: Larmar B. Seeley. Samuel 11. Brown, the late E. W. Crichten and Z. J. Hatch, now of California. Dtnliii of Boats Remarkable. Captain Scott was a noted pilot and ship captain, as well as an expert de signer. He designed his boats from knowledge gained by experience, and among them were some remarkable shallow draft vessels. Including the ity of Salem, another river boat, the Fleetwood, which ran to the Cascades, and the Telephone. The old Telephone was the most fa mous of his productions, as she was tho fastest sternwheel boat ever built. She Is now being used by the third generation In San lancisco Bay. The Flyer has made four round trips between Tacoma and Seattle daily for nearly 22 years. The Tele gram was another of the Bternwheel type. This boat was brought to Port land from the sound during the Lewis and Clark Fair, when it carried many excursions on the Columbia River. The City of Everett, on Puget Sound, is another successful steamboat to his credit as a builder. PBiafnEfrs' Lives Saved. Captain Seotfs presence of mind saved the lives of the passengers on the Telephone when she was on fire (four miles from Astoria. He ordered the engines put full speed ahead and landed all on board safely. Besides his wife and son at Wood land, another son at Seattle Charles O. Scott survives. SALiMOX BOATS KEACH NORTH Kail of Ashes From Volcanoes Not Enough to Hurt Fishing. ASTORIA, Or.. June 23. (Special.) Feveral letters arrived today from Brls. tol Bay. Alaska, and among them were ome for President McGregor, of the Alaska Fishermen's Packing Company. They were dated on May 25 and stated that both the bark Flint and the ship t. Frances arrived nait:ly unu ii w. Doard are well. No ice was encountered In Bering Sea. but the St. Frances ran Into a severe gale when about one day's all from Nushagak River.

Pacific Coast Representative Study ing Portland Conditions. Otto Jelstrup, Pacific Coast repre sentative of the East Asiatic Steamship Company, has been in Portland for a few days studying shipping conditions. He is anxious to build up commerce which will justify the vessels of his line making Portland a regular point of call. Mr. Jelstrup said yesterday that San Francsico and Vancouver would be the regular ports of call and that Port land, Seattle. Tacoma, San Pedro and San Diesro would be visited, but not on regular schedule. The new motorships of the company of 10,000 tons each will make round trips from Europe in 110 days via Suez nd after the Panama Canal is opened Europe will be but 35 days off. The motorships carry enough fuel for the round trip. The first will arrive in Portland in October. JITVE RAINFALL IS EXCESSIVE Klvcr Rises and Cramping of Docks Hampers Shipping.

CONVICT CONFESSES ALL Dan S. Kain, Superintendent of Con cern at Time of $10,000 Gold Dust RoDbery, Made Happy by Dispatch. From - Valdez. Mystery affecting the robbery at Val dez, Alaska. tt nearly $10,000 belonging to the Central Alaska Hydraulic Mining Company, many of the shareholders of the company being Portland and Salem people, was cleared up yesterday with the arrival of a telegram from Alaska sta'ting that the robber, one Louis Gor. man, had confessed the crime and is now serving a prison sentence for an other robbery at Iditarod, Alaska. One of the happiest men in this city yesterday was Dan S. Kain, superin tendent of the company at the time of the robbery, and who, he says, along with 24 other employes, has been under suspicion more or less ever since. The robbery of the J10.000 "broke" the com pany, and it went into the hands of a receiver. Since then the property has been owned by a Boston concern, and Is now valued at more than $250,000 to the loss of the original shareholders of the Central Alaska Company. About July, 1909. Mr. Kain says, he and 24 other employes placed in their tent at Valdez, near Mount McKinley, about $10,000 in gold dust belonging to the company, and next morning it was found that some one during the night had entered the tent and stolen the fortune in dust. Every man on Val dez Creek was searched, but no trace of gold or robber could be found. Mr. Kain says he felt he was under sus picion, but was powerless to explain the mystery. He recalls, however, that Louis Gorman was in the tent next to him. Mr. Kain, whose home Is now at Long Beach. Cal., asked his friend, F. S. Simpson, of 365 Morrison street, this city, to make inquiries around Valdez concerning the mysterious Valdez rob bery, and Mr. Simpson wrote to A. J. Wendler. of Valdez. A letter was rer ceived by Mr. Simpson from Mr. Wend ler yesterday, inclosing a telegram from the United States District Attorney, fourth division. Fairbanks. Alaska, to the United States Marshal at Valdez, reading as follows: "At trial. United States against Louis Gorman, latter part July. 1912. on the charge of gold-dust robbery near Iditarod, Alaska, September 21, 1911, Fred Chapman, Government witness, testified that Gourman (or Gorman) confessed to him that Gorman and one Gagnon robbed Dan Kain of about 59000 in gold dust some time in 1909. Gor man was found guilty of Iditarod rob bery, and was sentenced to ten years at McNeil's Island. Chapman left for outside last Fall and seemed positive he could locate cache where robbers se creted dust. Do not know present whereabouts of Chapman." "I am of the opinion that Gorman entered our tent during the night, took our gold dust and cached it near by," said Mr. Kain yesterday. "I am In formed also that Gorman came back to valdez after he thought the storm had blown over, opened the cache, and was disposing of a part of it, when he met Mr. Chapman." GRITICISM IS RESENTED PORTLAXD COJIPAXY DEXIES GOVERNOR'S IMPUTATION. Reasons Assigned' for Not Awarding Slate) Heating Contract to Low est Bidder Declared Untrue. PORTLAND. June 23. (To the Edi tor.) Since opening the semi-annual proposals, on June 19. by the Board of Control for the supplies for the various institutions for the State of Oregon, mere have appeared several articles In all of the leading papers, which have set out the reasons given by the Board for its action In connection with the awarding of the contract for the In stallation of a central heating station for the Capitol building and the new library and Supreme Court building. -ine lowest bid for this contract was by the Pacific Heating - Engineering Company for S19.S77. The next bid was by W. W. Cox, of Portland, for $20,231. The plans and specifications for the construction of this plant were prepared by W. G. McPherson Company, of Port land, but were handled entirely by tha State Architect, Mr. Knighton. The reasons as stated by the Gover nor for declining to award the con tract to the lowest bidder (.Pacific Heating-Engineering Company) was on account of inferior work and material installed at the Tuberculosis Institute and the new receiving ward at the In sane Asylum, setting out in detail the fact that much of this work the state had been compelled to reconstruct. which we emphatically deny. We learn from our own investigation and the people In charge at the Insane Asylum that no port of the pipe work or Installation of the radiation has been reconstructed, and that it has always operated satisfactorily. When the construction of the central plant at the Tuberculosis Institute was decided upon by the Board, which con sisted of the Governor, as chairman: ex-Mayor Rogers, of Salem, and Dr. rltzgerald, euperintenednt of the Insti tute, plans and specifications for this construction were asked for from T. M. Barr, of Salem, and ourselves, each sub mitting what we believed was neces sary to supply these Institutions, and each submitting a proposal for which they would furnish the material and labor and Install the equipment. The plans and specifications of both" Mr. Barr and ourselves were rejected and new plans and specifications were drawn by the State Architect, Mr. Knighton, and bids were asked for and we were awarded, the contract. Our contract, however, provided that we furnish the pipe, fittings and pipe Insulation, to be installed in the con duit specified by Mr. Knighton, and to be constructed by the Governor's hon orary men. When the plan for the con duit was submitted to us, we objected to It on account of Its dimensions: we also objected to the Insulation for the pipe on account of Its inefficiency, but were advised that nothing better could be furnished, for the reason that there were no funds available to pay for anything In addition to that specified. Under the terms of our contract we were to superintend the installation of the conduit, the state to furnish all material and labor. It required a little over three months time to get this conduit constructed. Shortly after the work had been commenced, complaints were made by the Governor that It was not progressing 'fast enough: then a superintendent was furnished from the State Architect's office to put in that part of the Installation, after which we had absolutely nothing to do with the Installation and construction of this conduit, and if the state has been jobbed on account of the work, . the Governor has been responsible for the jobbing. . - After the conduit was built we in stalled our pipe and Insulation, and owing to the size of the conduit, -some time during the first Winter, one of the fittings of the high-pressure line was broken, caused by not having suf ficient room for expansion and contrac tion. This was repaired by the state, notwithstanding the work was covered by a maintenance bond, and had the breakage been due to our negligence or inferior work, It certainly was the duty of the Board to have asked us to make this repair. But no notice waa given to us of any defect, either In the mate rial or workmanship of tha installation of any part of the construction outside of the Installation of the conduit, which was installed by tho Governor and his honorary men. No notice was ever given us of any inferior work or material on any other state work that this company has fur nished or Installed for the state until the bids were opened.' June 19. The specifications for the pipe work which were prepared by Mr. Knighton's office specified a three and one-half-inch high pressure main, to be Installed from the power plant 622 feet from the main building, and there connected through a reducing valve to a three Inch low pressure main, for the pur pose of heating the main building of the Institution. We advised Mr. Knigh ton that the size of this pipe could be reduced, to which he readily consented. The specifications also provided for a three-quarter-inch galvanized pipe, to convey the hot water for all of the bathrooms, kitchen, domestic hot water, etc., for the main building and pavilion. We suggested that this would not be of sufficient capacity, whereupon we were advised to Install it as per the specifications. We endeavored several times to get into communication with the Governor, in order to advise him of the matters that were not properly designed. Each and every time he would advise us that he would stand by the State Architect's decision, and the State Architect would refer us to Dr. Fitzgerald, the superin tendent, and the doctor would refer us to -ex-Mayor Rogers, and by the time the subject in discussion had made two or three rounds and no decision was arrived at, the work had been com pleted and, as the Governor says, "the state Jobbed." The only alteration that was made after the execution of the contract was substituting a two and one-half-inch hot water supply for a three-quarter-inch, as specified by the architect's office. While the work at the Tuberculosis building was being Installed we met the Governor at the Cafeteria at Salem. Upon his complaint-of the slowness in which the work was being prosecuted, we advised him that if he would fur nish ftwo free men the work could all be completed in two weeks. The Gov ernor became angry and said that if we did not have sufficient men we should advise him. He Btated that five good men would be sent out. The next morn ing they arrived in due time and were put to work, but each one was afflicted with some invisible trouble in his phy sical makeup, which would develop im mediately after he had started to shovel concrete, and by 2 o'clock there was not a man left on the job. The messhouse was located some 300 or 400 yards from the work, where the odor of the con crete did not disturb and where it was much easier to smoke the pipe of peace and play cards. .We deny the statement made by the State Architect or the Governor that any material or labor furnished and installed by us has not complied with the plans and- specifications, or that has not been made good by us. . In our last Interview with the Gov ernor and Secretary Olcott they em phatically denied that organized labor had any Influence In connection with the action they had taken. We are in hopes that this Is correct, since the reasons given for their action is not correct. We are at a loss to under stand why such steps should be taken by the Board or State Architect.

In commenting on the new tonic Mrs. Thompson said: "I have suffered for the past ten years with a severe pain in my side: there was sort of burning: sensation with it, and I was told it was my liver. About six weeks &go my condi tion became much worse, the pain was more intense and I suffered greatly. I was told that I could not hope for re lief except through an operation. My stomach was also in very bad condi tion. I could not eat any heavy food without great distress afterward. There was a sort of gnawing sensation in my stomach, and at other tlme3 it felt as If there was a heavy cold stone in it. I was pretty well discouraged when a friend of mine persuaded me to try Plant Juice. I got a bottle and it helped me so much that I got more and continued using it: now I am feeling fine, my stomach is in good condition. and I can eat anything I want and my food agrees with me. The pain has entirely left my side. I had also suf fered a great deal from nervousness. and was always tired and mopey. My nerves are all right now. I sleep well and wake up full of energy and am bition, in fact I feel like a different woman." Plant Juice Is the greatest remedy of the age for all ailments of the stomach, liver and kidneys.
