Seattle's Finding of Plague-Infected
Rodents Causes
Precautions Here.
OFFICIALS ARE CRITICISED
Yet Harbormaster Speier and Aides
TTnder Him Continue Insisting on
Guards So That Portland May
Escape Bubonic Infection.
Experience of Seattle health author!
ties in having found ten rata Infected
with bubonic plague, though regula
tlons are enforced along the water
front compelling vessels from foreign
lands to affix rat guards on all moor
ing lines, has stirred persons here in
terested in precautionary measures
against the introduction of any disease
carried by rodents, and Dr. Aiarceuus,
City Health Officer, hopes in inaugu
rate a rat campaign.
"Inspectors of the Health Department
have orders to combine with firms
along Front street and the waterfront
in poisoning rats and excellent results
have been attained in some districts,
but we have no means as yet for exam
ining the dead rats to ascertain if they
carry disease." said Mr. Marcellus. "It
would be inexpensive to prepare for
such work, all that would be required
being a shack on the waterfront or
small houseboat, and a few instru
ments. I believe the Federal authori
ties of the Public Health Service will
send a man here to carry on the work
of examination."
Harbormaster Speier and officers un
der him in the Harbor Patrol have
been criticised by shipmasters fpr in
sisting on rat guards and that gang
ways be raised at night on ships lying
alongside docks to avoid the possibility
of rats getting ashore, yet they;, are
continuing the enforcement of regula
tions without regard to whether a bu
bonic plague scare is bothering the
Coast. Portland has not had a case
of the disease during the past few
years when California and Washington
cities were troubled, though this har
bor is regularly visited by ships from
Oriental and West Coast ports, where
plague' has existed.
A strong point made by the authori
ties is that while plague has been es
caped, it is not known whether rats
infesting wooden docks carry the mal
ady about and they declare the only
means of safeguarding the health of
the community is through an examina
tion of all dead rats gathered. Such
a move may lead to a campaign for th
payment of bounty on rats so that In
a short time a complete investigation
may be conducted.
XO VOTE OX DOCK MEASURES
Commission win Snbmit Details of
Improvement in May.
No measure for harbor Improvements
will be submitted to the voters No
vember 4 by the Commission of Public
Docks, though if a special city elec
tion is held in May, 1914, the Commis
sion will lay its plans before the tax
payers for consideration. Options held
on water front property will be re
turned to the owners and all negotia
tions cease on land considered for dock
purposes on which options had not been
given.
Such an announcement was made yes
terday following an informal gathering
of the Commission. Until the remain
ing bonds In the sum of $1,000,000
finally are considered when their le
gality is passed on by bond authorities,
it will not be known whether all or
part of the block will be sold. An
agreement having virtually been en
tered into for the acquisition of the
William Reid property, between East
Oak and East Washington streets,
nothing more will be done regarding it
until money is actually available. The
Commission intends to add the second
unit to Dock No. 1, at the foot of Sev
enteenth street, also to build the Kast
Side dock.
SOUTH JETTY DISMANTLED
Major Mclndoe Goes to Washington
to Talk on Bar.
By sunset today the south Jetty
trestle at the mouth of the river will
be dismantled and on one side of the
tramway nothing remains but the pil
ing securely imbedded in the rock form
ing the Jetty, while on the other caps,
stringers and ties were left, so that
with little work a track could be laid
for the resumption of rock dumping.
It Is estimated that In not to exceed
two years the trestle will have deterio
rated to an extent that will render it
unfit for heavy loads.
Major Mclndoe, Corps of Engineers,
IT. 8. A., in charge of operations there,
leaves for Washington, D. C, tonight
to confer with Brigadier-General Dan
Kingman, chief of engineers, concern
ing Improvements in the Columbia and
Willamette rivers. He will be absent
ten days or two weeks. Besides memo
randa covering the need of dredging on
the bar. Major Mclndoe will be well
supplied with data on the situation, so
he can familiarize General Kingman
with the Importance of the project and
explain matters that might come up
after he leaves for Manila early In De
cember. BRADY I XVI TED TO CONGRESS
Dean of Grapplers Xanied Delegate
to Washington Session.
Alone of the waterfront fraternity
to be accorded recognition by the Na
tional Rivers and Harbors Congress,
Hugh Brady, the veteran municipal
grappler, bears In his inner pocket a
formal Invitation from that body to
attend the 10th annual convention,
which is to be held at Washington, D.
C, December 3, 4 and 6. President
Wilson is to deliver the opening ad
dress. It may be that Mr. Brady's reputa
tion as a master of currents has gained
for him fame abroad, or it is known
to executives of the congress that he
is as familiar with New York harbor
as with Portland's waterway, but at
any rate he Is numbered with the
elect. Were It not for the fact he has
no assistant here, "Hughie" would
probably put away his uniform and
depart in his Sunday garb for the Na
tional Capitol. As it is, he will add
the invitation to his collection of
waterfront-keepsakes.

'II IS GOOD 'VERDICT
ON HODD RIVER ROAD
Portland Business Men See
Progress of Work and Give
Unstinted Praise.
H0LMAN ASKS CRITICISM
S. C. Lancaster, Assistant State High
way Engineer, Points Out That
Side Cots Are Used Because
They Are Cheaper.
Public opinion, as voiced by the ex
pressions of business men of Portland
standing high in their varied branches
SINCE 1906, AND FOUND IN SIBERIAN ICE FIELD, FORMERLY
STEAMER CENTENM.4X.
. :
of commerce, paid a great tribute yes
terday to the work being done by Mult
nomah County authorities on that part
of the Columbia River Highway which
begins at Rooster Rock and continues
to the Hood River County boundary
beyond Oneonta Gorge. These opinions
were given to an Oregonian reporter
yesterday after a highly-interesting
day's trip over that part of the route
where work is now under way.
The trip itself was the outcome of
an Invitation extended by County Com
missioner Holman Its purpose and pol
icy are explained best in Mr. Holman's
own words:
"This is not tne first nor will It bo
the last of these trips, because It has
been my avowed Intention of having
two definite policies running through
all my work as a public official. One
of these is to follow President Wilson's
advice and to let light in upon dark
places, in other words to lay my cards
down on the table, to let the general
public look into my plans and inspect
them and their workings at all times
and in all places; the other Is to see
where we are going to spend our money
before it is spent and in that way
avoid so much of the unnecessary ex
pense that we hear discussed.
"I want the public out there. Then
they can see what we Intend to do,
they can give us criticism; they can
help me most by showing me where
I shall be likely to throw money away.
My desire is to give a dollar value for
a dollar spent and above all to let peo
ple see where the money is to go from
the start"
The work Is In charg9 of S. C. Lan
caster, Assistant State Highway En
gineer, who has resurveyed the whole
route, changing what was in some
places a 9 per cent grade to one which
at no time exceeds 5 per cent His plans
call for a 24-foot highway In the place
of a 20-foot with a mlximum of 16
degrees on the curves.
Camp Holds 130 Men.
Leaving Portland at 7:50 yesterday
morning, the party detrained at Mult
nomah Falls, where the County Com
mission has lnstallled a complete road
camp, capable of housing 100 men,
with a subsidiary camp for 30 more.
An Inspection of trie camp revealed
what J. B. Yeon and A. 8. Benson both
characterized as "an extremely eco
nomical, highly efficient sanitary,
comfortable camp."
The double check method employed
by the storekeeper insures absolute ac
curacy in the keeping of accounts. The
county purchasing agent checks one
way, while by a tally sheet the store
keeper at the camp checks all goods
that come to him. No purchases are
made except by means of a requisition
sheet signed by the camp superinten
dent and bought by the purchasing
agent iu Portland in open market by
means of competitive bids. Everything
is branded and materials are charged
to a large number of separate accounts,
so that the cost of working each de
partment may be seen at a glance.
Straightaway, headed by Mr. Lan
caster and Robert Brooke, the super
intendent who is an expert of inde
pendent means, working through love
of the road, the party walked westward
along the road where It is in course
of construction. Clearing of some
seven-eighths of a mile has been done
already and there are men at work on
more than a mile of road. Immediately
noticeable and much commented upon
favorably was the easiness of the grad
ing, the very gradual way In which
the road was laid so that it seemed
almost level, and the pains taken to
keep the cost of construction to a min
imum and yet at the same time to
build for the future by having solidity
and permanency, coupled with the in
suring of the safety of tourists over
the route in the elimination of sudden
or dangerous curves and the making
of the road as wide as possible.
Survey la Changed.
Workmen were building stone wall
supports, while Mr. Lancaster outlined
and showed plans of a reinforced con
crete viaduct 400 feet in length which
will be necessary to surmount one hill,
otherwise impassable, with any degree
of safety at anything like a reasonable
cost This viaduct will cost 16000. He
explained that he was trying to avoid
what are known as through cuts (in
other words tunneling) without any
overhead work, and using side cuts as
much as possible, which will cut down
the expense greatly.
On the east side of the dividing line
he has changed the survey from a 9
per cent grade to a 0 per cent with a
road width of 24 feet, as compared to.
20, and with one curve of 12 degrees.
On the west side of the line the maxi
mum, grade Is 4.8 per cent as compared
with 8 per cent there Is only one curve
with 16 degrees, the others are not over
10 degrees, while the long curve has a
maximum of 8 degrees.
Beyond Multnomah Falls, looking to
wards Hood River, there Is a stretch
of three and one-half miles which was
formerly a railroad bed, but which the
O.-W. R. & N. has turned over to the
county. At Oneonta Gorge it will be
necessary to tunnel for 125 feet, as
there Is no other way of surmounting
the giant rock, as the railroad occupies
all available space. Otherwise very
little will have to be done to this great
stretch beyond widening it and this can
be done by removing two feet of the
surface.. This section of the road con
nects with the Bridal Veil and Latour
elle Falls road, which motorists use
today, and Mr. Lancaster says that it
will be finished by the early part of
next Summer, so that tourists will be
able to visit Multnomah Falls by auto
mobile or horse-drawn vehicle for the
first time.
"The beauties of the road are so
many and so Incredibly superb and
above all within 35 miles of the heart
of the city, that one can be forgiven for
boasting that when this road is com
pleted Portland will have a road grand
er by far than the Tosemlte Valley
road. Falls, five, six and seven'hundred

derful combination of evergreen and
deciduous trees, all combine to offer at
tractions unsurpassed." This, In ef
fect was a composite of the views ex
pressed by the various members of the
party.
At the conclusion of the outing each
member of the party was asked to criti
cise, to say exactly what he felt. In the
Interests of the taxpayers. - Their re
marks follow:
A. S. Benson Lancaster's great work
Insures permanency and solidity. The
working organization is good, the road
Is a mighty good Investment, and if
built by 1915 will probably pay for its
cost entirely in one year. The secur
ing of Robert Brooke Is a great thing,
as I have seen much of his work, while
Mr. Holman's work Is worthy of the
highest praise. The camp Is comfort
able, sanitary, cheap to a degree and
the labor could not be secured at a
lower price.
J. A. Currey, TrusseU Concrete Steel
Company As a member of the Ameri
can Society of Engineers I was inter
ested from an engineering standpoint
owing to complex problems relative to
grades, and peculiar formation of
ground. It is really a revelation of
road-building skill. Construction Is ac
complished along modern and scientific
lines, the work is permanent and the
road a monument Mr. Lancaster Is pe
culiarly fitted, because in addition to
his engineering skill he possesses an
artistic sense of preserving beauty
spots and vistas that will command the
attention of visitors from all over the
world. The road Is an asset to Portland
not to be measured In dollars and cents.
The camp work Is economical and well
arranged, with an abundance of good
water. The County Court Is- not pro
viding something for the favored few,
but for pedestrians as well as those who
ride in vehicles of any description.
Taxpayers Obtaining Value.
Samuel Hill, president Home Tele
phone Company The county Is getting
full value for every dollar spent I am
familiar with the road from the Cas
cades to Portland, having walked It
more than onoe. and I approve heartily
of all the work that Is being done.
E. Hofer I have traveled over the
United States and I am conversant
with the work and policies of the
County Boards In my own county. The
work is economical. Is being don. en
ergetically and well. The beauties of
the road will compare more than fa
vorably with anything that either
hemisphere can offer.
M. G. Winstock From the methods
that are being employed, from the
plans outlined and from the work al
ready accomplished, I can see that the
taxpayer Is getting full value for his
money and the support of every man
should be given whole-heartedly to Mr.
Holman in the work that he is doing
along these lines.
J. B. Yeon, All roads must be built
substantially with a view to the fu
ture. This Is the greatest scenic road
I have ever seen, and it is being built
economically, the organization is good,
the men are working all the time and
I can only say that if I had enough
money I would offer to guarantee the
whole expense of construction with the
promise that If the county, did not
think the money well spent It would
not heed to pay a dollar. It Is a proj
ect of which the advantages cannot b
measured today.

FAKE LAND QEALS CHARGED
Ernest O. Gross, Arrested Here, Is
Charged AVIth Vsing Wife and
Man Posing as Capitalist to
Defraud Investors.
Fugitive from Walla Walla, Wash.,
where he is accused of wholesale land
frauds, Ernest O. Gross, a carpenter by
trade and alleged confidence man by
occupation, also wanted In Seattle and
Portland on similar charges, was ar
rested last night by Detectives Hellyer
and Howell at Union avenue and East
Kllllngsworth street and lodged at the
City Jail.
Gross disappeared from Portland last
April when he was under surveillance
by the police detectives. Before leaving
the city, it is alleged, he succeeded in
bunkoing two men out of $300 on a
fake land deal and used his wife, Mrs.
Jennie Gross, and Clark Harwood to
turn the deal.
Gross worked at his trade on a Linn
ton road construction Job, and there
struck up an acquaintance with two
fellow workmen. His plan, according
to officers, was operated by having
Harwood register at the Multnomah
Hotel and assume the role of a capital
ist land operator. After "talking up"
the property he claimed to be owned by
Harwood, it Is said, be took his
"friends" to the hotel and there Intro
duced them as interested in invest
ments. The latter gentleman, according
to the complaints, suavely admitted
owning valuable property which he de
sired to dispose of t a sacrifice and
pointed to an investment as a certain
means to rapid wealth.
Mrs. Gross, it is charged, -was then
used as a decoy to "fall for" the in
vestment and then the victims were
rushed into turning over their money.
Olne Aune and another man were
among those who transferred their
money for a neat receipt and they will
prosecute Gross for fraud.
Gross, It appears, left Portland in
April for Seattle, where It is said he
worked the same game, using a man
named Severance as pseudo capitalist.
Both were arrested and later released
under $1500 bonds. In Walla Walla It
is Bald he employed L. C. Miller as
"hotel pigeon" and reaped a rich har
vest from that city. Miller came to
Portland with Gross last February and
It was In an effort to trap both men
at that time that Gross slipped from
under the nose of the detectives, who
were cognizant of his acts. -

DAN'S Al YET SURE
Little Cupid Catches Two Who
Quarrel With Same Dart,
STRANGERS AT WEDDING
Former Mlssourlans Scurry From
Seattle to Portland to Wed and
Find Once More That Every
one "Loves a Lover."
Sixteen years ago, across the pine
desks of a little village schoolhouse In
Ralls County, Missouri. Ollle McGeo
and Eddie Howard "made eyes" at each
other behind their geographies. They
threw notes to each other, and after
awhile the boy grew brave enough to
walk home from school with the girl.
A rose-tint romance ensued, lasting
through school days, and then "some
thing happened." The boy came West
to seek his fortune, and the girl re
mained In the little Missouri town.
Whatever it was that happened, It was
something so serious that no letters
were exchanged.
But Father Time and Dan Cupid
more than once appear as business part
ners, and last night, when Rev. Charles
B. Elliott, of the Highland Baptist
Church, made Miss Ollle McGee, of Lou
isiana, Mo., and J. Edward Howard, of
Seattle, man and wife, the frayed ends
of this broken romance of Missouri
school days were spliced again.
Mr. Dickinson Takes C'barare.
It was this way: Mr. Howard has
been employed by the Puget Sound
Traction, Light & Power Company at
Seattle. Dr. Guy McGee, a Seattle
dentist. Is a brother of last night's
bride. A few days ago Miss Ollle Mc
Gee arrived from Missouri for a visit
with her brother. Dr. McGee asked Mr.
Howard out to dinner. That was three
days ago. Yesterday the sweethearts
came to Portland to "get married."
Managing Director Dickinson, of the
Oregon, learned why they had come,
and at once became charge d' affaires of
the arrangements for the happy event,
with Mrs. Dickinson as his chief aide.
Samuel Hill, of Maryhill, Wash., the
famous road-builder, was best man.
R. F. Allen, of Morgan, Allen & Co., of
San Francisco, and Mrs. Allen were wit
nesses. The "Wedding March" ;
played as the bride and bridegroom
vanced to their place before Rev.
Elliott in the beautiful little parloi-
the Marie Antoinette suite.
Many Strangers Congratulate.
Following the ceremony Mr. and Mrs.
Howard .held a little reception, receiv
ing the congratulations of the follow
ing, all of whom, with the exception of
Mr. and Mrs. Holmes, acquaintances of
Mr. Howard, they had never seen before
last night: Mr. and Mrs. George W.
Joseph, Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Holmes,
Judge and Mrs. W. W. McCredle, G.
Kirke Drury, assistant manager of the
Oregon; J. B. Middleton, manager of
the Home Telephone Company.
Nor were they previously acquainted
with Mr. and Mrs. Dickinson, Mr. and
Mrs. Allen, nor Mr. Hill.
