EMERGENCY BOARD To Determine Whether Docks Paper Shall Be Issued by Commission or Council or Whether Another Balloting Necessity, Object. SALEM, Or., Sept. 2. (Special.) To determine whether 12,600.000 public dock bonds should be issued by the Public Dock Commission or the City Council, and whether another election shall be held to pass upon the Dona issue, are questions Involved. In an original proceeding filed with the Su preme Court today by the City of Port land and Henry Teal against H. R. Albee. Mayor, and A. L. Barbur, Audi tor. The Council has authorised the issu ing of the bonds and the Dock Com mission has approved Its action. Mr. Albee and Mr. Barbur, because of a con flict of recent city charter amendments, refuse to sign the bonds, fearing that it ma v ha nerAssarv for the 'people to pass upon them again. It Is recited that at the primary elec tlon, when the commission charter was adopted, the charter was amended so as to provide: Civil Service Saved. "No board or .-ommlsslon now exist ing under the charter of 1903, as amend ed, except the Civil Service Commission, shall exist more than six months after the charter takes effect. Th section abrogates the dock board which had been empowered to Issue the bonds authorized by the people. It eoon became manifest that a mistake had been made, and at the June elec tion an act amending the city charter to provide that all bonds neretorore authorised be approved, validated. Is sued and sold by the City Council. An other part of the same section provided as follows: "No board now existing under the charter of 1903, as amended, excepting the Department of Public Docks ana Civil Service Commission, which shall be called the Civil Service Board, and neither of which commissions shall be abolished, shall continue to exist more than six months after this charter takes effect." Dock Boada Provided. Section 118 of the charter as amend ed by the people November 8, 1910, pro vides that the Public Dock Commission shall issue and dispose of the 32.600,000 bonds. Attention Is called to the fact that at one election the Public Dock Com mission was abolished and at the next one It was re-established, the amend ment giving the City Council the right to issue and dispose of the bonds, al though the amendment of 1910. specify ing the duties of the Dock Commission, srivea it the same power. ODtlons have been taken on consider able property, and it is necessary that a final opinion be obtained as soon as possible, which accounts for the origi nal Troceeding In the Supreme Court Mr. Teal, who Is a stock broker, bought two shares of the stock in order to ap pear as a plaintiff In the action.

What the results of that will be I do not know, as I have no Dart In the Investigation. members of the Civil Service Commis sion having acted on their own initia tive in the proposition.

SALEM, Or, Sept. 26. (Special.) A report was current here tonight that the emergency board, whlcn will meet tomorrow to-consider Governor West request that a deficiency be declared so he can have more money with which to conduct his vice crusades, an appro priation of J 1000 having been exhaust ed, may act favorably upon the propo sition. It was declared two or three members of the commission were con sldering letting the Governor have the money and hold him to a strict account ability as to Its expenditure. It was further, reported that at least four members of the commission several days ago were opposed to creating the deficiency on legal grounds to the feet that no emergency exists and local authorities can take care of their own criminal affairs. However, there has been persistent rumor that the Governor is endeavoring to set a political trap for two or three members, and they are considering voting for the deficiency on the ground that the moral crusade is one of Mr. West's hobbles and he might Just as well be allowed to ride it for awhile, or, in other words to let 'er buck. The Governor, however, does not seem to be alarmed In the least in his vice crusade request and his friends say he probably has "something up mil sieeve. Interest In Outcome Intense. Speculation Is rife as to how Secre tary of State Olcott will vote "cn the proposition. Mr. Olcott has announced that he will have nothing to say until the meeting. Even should he vote with Governor West, and two other members do likewise, there would be no de flciency created for the law provides that there must be at least five out of the seven votes to grant the permit. It also provides that the members shall fix the amount of the deficiency by the same vote. The members who opposed the spe clal agent act have a distinct ad vantage if they do not desire to give the Governor more money lor tne worn for three negative votes would put a auietus on the request or Mr. west. It has not been determined whether the meeting shall be an open one. At least one member has declared that he favored an open meeting, but this Is a question for the Board to determine, Although there have been one or two star chamber sessions of other state boards, the laws provide that they must be open to the public. Political Aspect Sharp'. The political aspect -of tomorrow's meeting is still in the foreground, feev eral members of the Board have aspira tions to serve the people In high public offices, and that the moral question Involved Is of Importance to them their friends admit. However, there seems to be no doubt that the opposition to the Governor, if It opposed creating the deficiency, would have a fine defense, in that there Is no emergency, ana mat local authorities can take care of their own affairs, as is done in other states where there is no more lawlessness than In Oregon. Governor West also has asked the Board to consider creating a deficiency for the investigation of the Portland gas frahchlse, the Legislature, by con current resolution, having empowered him to make .the investigation. It is understood that Ernest Ringo, the Gov ernor's special prosecutor, has made a partial investigation of the franchises. It Is doubted whether the board will create a deficiency for this Investiga tion, Inasmuch as the Legislature made no appropriation for the work. Law yers say It Is doubtful if a deficiency can be created without first an appro priation having been made. RAYMOND TO HAVE. GAS Application for Franchise of TTrqu hart & Stewart Granted.

PAVILION IS TOO SMALL Poultry" Show Is Said to Be One of Best Ever Seen in State Farmers and City Men Get Together on Good Roads Move. ST. HELENS, Or Sept. 26. (Spe cial.) The first annual Columbia Coun ty Fair Is being held in St. Helens this week, and it has already proved a huge success. The pavilion Is not large enough to satisfy the demand made on it for general exhibits, and the same can be said of the poultry and stock sheds. Exhibits from various parts of the county are shown. Some of them are exceedingly fine. All classes of prod ucts of the county are displayed. The fruit and farm products displays are exceedingly good and show the pro ductiveness of the county. The poultry exhibit has been said by persons who have visited other fairs to be the best display of fouls ever seen in Oregon. Nearly all the schools of the county have an exhibit of produce and indus trial articles and there Is keen com petition between them for first honors. It is quite probable that the winning school exhibit will be forwarded to the State Fair at Salem. Ray TarbelL of Yankton, was award ed the first prize on the best general farm exhibit, with C. C. Moyer a close second. G. L. Tarbell was third and Frank Brown fourth. Other prizes will be awarded today. This afternoon at the fair was good roads day. Twenty-one automobiles from Portland, containing 100 or more enthusiasts, arrived, and speeches were made by Mr. Terrace, of Seattle; Samuel Hill and Rufus Holman, of Portland. The large gathering, of farmers made this a leading feature of the fair, where good roads and the Columbia Highway was thoroughly discussed. A better understanding resulted Detween the farmers and the city men. There is a genuine feeling between the cit izens of Columbia County for good roads and for the Columbia Highway. The method of raising money for the building of roads is the only question. Petitions are already in circulation and will be presented to the County Court next week asking for a survey and calling for a bond election. That a bond election would carry is almost sure. Judging by the sentiment of farm ers and others from the various parts of the county who are in attendance of the County Fair here this week.
