OFFER OF RENT IS REFUSED Members of Commission Resent Act of J. K. Bowles In Flipping Coin Before Them Clearance of Titles Is- Taken Cp. "When J. R. Bowles, of the Northwest Steel Company, appeared before the Commission of Public Docks- yesterday and flipped a 120 gold piece on the table in payment for the use or a small part of dock site No. 1 for July and August his action was resented by some of the members. Air. Bowles ex cused himself by saying he was frus trated, owing to having taken the mat ter up Wednesday with Chief Engineer Hetrardt with ill success. When the Commission purchased property of the Star Sand Company as part or the flock site, it was sup mated that portion of the property under lease to the Northwest Eteel Company could be occupied until the present month and another area until February 1.- It is contended that a small piece used by the corporation was not mentioned in the negotiations. mr. Hegardt served notice on the company to vacate, and it was contended that it was used under a verbal lease from the Star Sand Company at 10 a month, so the tender of J-0 was made as pay ment for rent. Mr. Bowles said the property was of rreat Importance to his company, com missioner Moores remarked that it seemed strange that so valuable a mat ter had not been mentioned before. The Commission voted to decline the S20 and to Instruct the City Attorney to proceed to oust the company. Mr. Bowles replied that he would fight the case to the Supreme Court, so posses sion could not be gained until April. Disputes between rival Insurance agents, dealing with policies Issued the Lewis A. Hicks Company, as to owners contingent liability, were heard. One policy was rejected by the City Attor ney, another was issued and refused by the Hicks interests, and a third was written at the company's request, all by different concerns, and the Com mission was appealed to to have the second returned and premiums paid from August 12 to August 19, but It refused to interfere. The Hicks con cern holds two contracts to build docks. Whether Nathan Clark was married In 1S73, when a deed to the Martin dock property was executed, and whether he or his wife are alive were questions brought up In connection with title to the land. Should it trans pire that he was married his wife would have a life Interest In one-third of a 95-foot water frontage. It was decided that the Martin heirs be paid 1260.000 for the property, 125,000 of the purchase price being withheld to be Invested in bonds of the Commission for 15 years, so the city will be pro tected In the event claimants are heard from. Another mlxup In title to the Will lam Reid property, between East Oak and East Stark streets, where dock No. 2 Is to be erected, precipitated a debate. The matter of deciding wheth er the land would be bought went over until today, when a report will be had from the City Attorney. E. J. Daly offered the Commission the Roberts tract, adjoining St. Johns on the north, which has a frontage on the river of 1885 feet and comprises 61 acres, for 8150,000. It was filed, MORE LOXGSHOREMEX OOJUVG Vessels In Harbor Being Supplied With Men Required. Business Agent Schneider, of Long shoremen's Union No. 6, said yesterday that In another month 45 additional men belonging to that organization would be available here, as that many migrated to Alaska for the Summer, and that he harbored no doubts of fill ing all demands for work during the Fall season. "Every request for longshoremen Is being complied with, and while there are men on the waiting list, not the slightest delay has been experienced In securing men for the work under way," he said. There has been no further trouble of consequence reported to the police con cerning tilts between the regulars and the independent longshoremen recently organized. The regulars claim they have virtually all work In prospect and the Independents have not worked a vessel since their experience last week on the schooner Omega at the Portland mill. WHEAT RATES ARE STEADIER New-Crop Movement Expected to Ad vance Coastwise Charges. VC. H. Slusser. Portland freight agent for the North Pacific line, says that new wheat Is being offered for ship ment to California and that during the present week he was compelled to re fuse consignments owing to limited space. The fact the movement has started In earnest is expected to result In an advance of 25 cents a ton In the tariff September 1. making It $1.75 to San Francisco, and by October 1 an other increase in the same amount is looked for. The rate was $2.50 before a cut was made last Spring. News from San Francisco Is that rates for handling lumber are yet on the decline, as $3 has been quoted from Puget Sound to the Golden Gate and $3. SO to S3. 75 to Los Angeles. It Is de clared that there is virtually no profit for vessel-owners at those figures. boa, and she left last night to take on more piling at Stella and will sail to day, are 1037 cases of dynamite valued at $6000: 14 dredge "spuds" worth a?B- fMt nf lumhftr at 831.- 992 and 20,250 lineal feet of piling at 11417. The schooner Rosamond was "cleared by the same firm for Antofogasta with 1,073,630 feet of lumber valued at $14, 364 and will leave down today In tow of the steamer Ocklahama. The Brit ish steamer Algoa entered from Eureka with 2,748,275 feet of redwood valued at $83,668 and is to complete her cargo here for Australia. Her loading will be watched, as she is expected to break the world's record for large lumber cargoes, now held by the Knight of the Garter, which took on 5,000,000 feet here. Dock Sellers Will Protect City. To protect the title to the Martin dock property at the foot of Seven teenth street, before the city buys it the Martin heirs have agreed to Duy $25,000 worth of dock bonds and place them in escrow for 15 years. If the DREDGE HCLXS BEING FINISHED Large Amount of Material to Be TTsed In Floors. In the construction of permanent floor In two steel dredges under way for the Government, which will be operated on channel work from Port land to the lower harbor, 450 barrels of cement and 50 yards of sand will be used. Riveting !s being finished on the hulls, which were assembled at the 0.-W. R. & N. "boneyard," and during the coming week a large force of car penters will be employed to get the decks in place.

ANOTHER PARTY RETURNS Little Ones Briny Wonderful Tales From Country Society Matrons See) Youngsters Off-on Trip of Joy to Dallas Farms. Another tralnload of Portland's little fresh-air excursionists left yesterday morning at 6 o'clock for Dallas. Portland society matrons and mem bers of the Junior League were at the train to see the little ones off for their ten days' outing. The 65 kiddies who were sent to He Mlnnvllle and Newberg returned yes terday, bringing wonderful stories of the good times they had on the ranches of charitable farmers. One of the happiest of those to re turn was a little miss who had been the guest of Mrs. Root, wife of the president of the First National Bank at Woodburn. This child has a broken shoulder and the ten days In the coun try almost made her over. Another train leaves tomorrow morn lng for Oswego, the party consisting principally of girls. Oswego, near the river and the lake. Is one of the beauty spots of the state. The committee handling the excur sions Is in search of homes for several small boys who need a vacation. It has also found a father of a large family who is suffering with rheu matism and who has not seen the coun try for so long he has almost forgot ten what it looks like. Miss Hazel Dolph, president of the Junior League, recently went on a tour of downtown streets In search ot worthy candidates. She found one lit tle boy picking flowers from cans at the street corners. He was collecting a bouquet for a mother who was ill. Miss Dolph thought the lad worthy of being taken off his mother's hands for awhile. DALLAS WANTS MORE KIDDIES Places on Farms Found for All Who Slake Trip to Country. DALLAS. Or Aug. 21. (Special.) Fifteen bright eyed, happy children, with anticipation of a jolly good time glow.ng in their faces, were wel comed at the station here this morning by the Dallas Women's Club, under whose auspices the fresh air delega tion from Portland will be entertained. There was Joy unbounded when the little folks welcomed their temporary guardians, but there was a bit of hu man interest unlooked for when one of the little girls stoutly refused to leave her two brothers, and Joe G. Brown was induced to take all three of them. Then little Earl Wllkins, when informed that he was chosen for city life in Dallas, wept so pitifully that the kind heart of Mrs. Frank Stiles was touched, and the little fel low will pass the 10-day outing at the Stiles ranch. Several who gathered at the station to welcome the little ones. and who were looking forward with pleasure- to their visit, were disap pointed when Informed that there were not enough to go around. It was explained that 20 had planned to go, but five of them failed to pass the rigid medical examination in Port land. The children were neatly dressed and each carried sufficient clean cloth ing to last during the vacation.

"Isn't there some way In which he can be released V The prosecutor told her as gently as he could that the law must take its course. Then he took it on himself to find her temporary relief.

Lytic, State Veterinarian, and the State Livestock Sanitary Board the Couaur Commissioners of Multnomah. County refused yesterday to appoint a County Veterinarian.

Dr. Brown, ho said, has taken treatment rendering him supposedly Impervious to the disease. The law provides that a county vet erinarian may draw $5 a day for not to exceed 100 days in any one year.
