BUILDING OF DOCKS
TO BE CARRIED ON
Supreme Court Decision; How
ever, Makes Spending of
$1,500,000 Necessary.
CITY PREPARED FOR ACTION
Commission Merely Most Itcturn to
Original Basis of Work and Buy
or Condemn Sites, Is Belief
of Member of Body,
"The decision of the Supreme Court
will not prevent construction of public
docks, but It will require the expendi
ture of about $1,500,000 for sites," -was
the pith of the opinion expressed by
K. W. Mulkey, chairman of the Public
Dock Commission, concerning the pos
sible effect that the tidelands decision
may have upon the work of the Com
mission. "The case of the Pacific Milling- &
Elevator Company in the Supreme
Court," he said yesterday afternoon,
"Involved land which represented one
third of the site contemplated for dock
No. 1. While the case was pending- on
appeal, a. stipulation was entered into
with the alleged owners of the prop
erty to the effect that the city might
condemn the property, upon the as
sumption of absolute ownership, but
" that the judgment of the condemna
tion suit was dependent upon the out
come of the suit just decided by the
Supreme Court.
City to Pay JudKmrnt j
The city agreed that if it lost the
suit Just decided it would pay the
judgment of the condemnation suit. So,
therefore, the city will have to pay the
Judgment as awarded by the Jury in
the condemnation suit, which is in the
sum of $310,000.
"With regard to the other property
contemplated for the site of dock No.
1, the upland owners had exercised
their franchise right and built docks.
The Commission of Public Docks did
not think there was any great differ
ence between a franchise value and
absolute title to property and therefore
bought the property of the two re
maining pieces required for the .site
of dock No. 1 at the best obtainable
price.
"The decision of the Supreme Court
will in no way prevent construction of
public docks, but it will require the
expenditure of about tl.EOO.OGO for
sites. The decision Just handed down
affects the future policy rather than
the present. If the courts had held
that the city had the right to build
docks In front - of upland property,
where the franchise had never been
used, a fair portion of the waterfront
of the City of Portland would have
come under control of the city for fu
ture development."
Other Opinions Similar.
A similar attitude is characterized In
the expressions of some . of the lead
ing attorneys of the city. "
"The tidelands decision will not pre
vent the construction of the public
docks," says C." W. Fulton, "but will
make it more, expensive than it would
have been had the decision been other
wise. The effect of the decision is to
put the plans of the Dock Commission
merely back on the basis upon which
they at first expected to work. The
conditions which they have to deal with
since the decision are such as they
fully understood In the first place, and
with which they were prepared to deal
if necessary."
James B. Kerr, of Carey & Kerr, who
represented before the Supreme Court
a number of owners of property along
the Willamette River said:
"The decision of the court, instead
of depriving the public of any right
which it was entitled to enjoy, merely
confirms the title of private property
which has been held under an unquali
fied grant of the Legislature for more
than a generation."
23 WIDOWS ARE PENSIONED
County Will ray 52 15 Monthly; 5
Petitions Refused by Court.
Nine applications for widows' pen
sions, making 23 which have been

the county will be 245 a month. Ap
plications of five were refused yester

Before the procession -moved they
gathered in front of the Courthouse to
hear an address from Governor West,
who bade them farewell on behalf of
the state and "Godspeed" on the jour
ney. Thn Governor was introduced by
Captain James P. Shaw, Commissioner
for Oregon, in charge of the trip.
Details of the parade and' the entire
line of march were in charge of Adjutant-General
Finzer of the Oregon Na
tional Guard. He was assisted by Cap
tain Moore and Captain Riley of the
police department and the officers and
men under them. Chief of Police Slover

As they approached the station the
militiamen swung to the east side of
the street and stood at "present arms"
to permit the veterans to file by. The
Spanish war veterans did likewise.
The three bands grouped about the
entrance of the station and played pa
triotic airs. As . the Gettysburg men
entered the gates one of them played
"Auld Lang Syne" and nearly all the
veterans started to sing.
State Officials in March.
Governor West ana Secretary of State
Olcott accompanied the "boys" into the
cars, shaking hands with each man.
The state officials declined to ride in
the parade and walked at the head of
the column of Gettysburg survivors and
immediately behind the colors with
Captain Shaw. Mr. and Mrs. Olcott
brought with them,' to Portland a great
DasKet 01 roses plucked from tne Cap
itol grounds at Salem.
Just before the train pulled out two
big trucks piled high with floral bou
quets were shoved up alongside the
tracks. Immediately behind them came
two beautiful women. Each took an
armful of flowers and climbed into the
cars. While young men kept renewing
their supply they dispensed bouquets
to the bewildered men. These young
women were Miss Florence Moore and
Miss Christine Nielsen, of the "Hanky
Panky" company. They were accom
panied by William Montgomery and
Clay Smith, co-stars in the same com
pany. Miss Moore's father was a sol

OPERATION
By Timely Use of Lydia E
Pinkham s Vegetable
Compound.
Here Is her own statement.
Cary, Maine. " I feel it a duty I owe
to all suffering women to tell what
Lydia E. Pinkham a
Vegetable Com
pound did for me.
One year ago I found
myself a terrible suf
ferer. I had pains
in both sides and
such a soreness I
could scarcely
straighten up at
times. My back
ached, I had no ap
petite and was so -
nervous I could not sleep, then I would
be so tired mornings that I could scarcely
get around. It seemed almost impossi
ble to move or do a bit of work and I
thought I never would be any better un
til I submitted to an operation. I com
menced taking Lydia E.Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound and soon felt like a
new woman. I had no pains, slept well,
bad good appetite and was fat and
could do almost all my own work for a
family of four. I shall always feel
that I owe my good health to your med
icine." Mrs. Haywakd Sowers, Cary,
Maine.
If you are ill do not drag along until
tm operation is necessary, but at once
take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetabla
Compound.
If you have the slightest doubt
that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta
ble Compound will help you,write
to Lydia B.Pinkham MedicineCo.

RESINOL HEALS
BABY'S SUMMER
SKIN TROUBLES
If baby is suffering with Summer
eczema, prickly heat,, heat rash, chaf
ing, insect-bites, or any of the other
distressing hot weather skin irrita
tions, give him a warm bath with
Rcslnol Soap and put a little Resinol
Ointment on the sore places. The itch
Jng and smarting stop at once, sleep
becomes possible, and, under this gen
tle, easy treatment, the trouble soon
disappears.
After that, a daily bath with Keslnol
Soap is usually enough to keep baby's
delicate, easily irritated skin clear and
healthy through the hottest summer
weather.
You need never hesitate to use Resi
nol. It is a doctor's prescription that
has been used by other physicians for
18 years in the treatment of all sorts
of skin affections. It contains abso
lutely nothing that could injure the
tenderest skin. Practically every drug
gist sells Resinol Ointment and Kesinoi
Soap, but you can test them at our ex
pense if you prefer. Send to Dept.
