SCHOOL BOARD
AND
BUILDERS AT OUTS
Exchange Wants Arbitration
Clause Put Back in Con-
tracts for Buildings..
BIDS ON WORK WITHHELD
Directors, It Is Said, May Have Jobs
Done by Day Unless Present
Plan 'Is Accepted Matter
To Come Up Tonight.
J
A lively row Is on between the
Builders Exchange and- tho Portland
School Board over the wording of the
contract form governing the construe
tion of school buildings in Portland.
A few years ago the Board repealed
the arbitration clause In the contract
by which all disputes over building
specifications were settled by a com
mittee of three, one member being ap
pointed by each of the parties and the
third member by those two memDers.
Since that time the architect is
the principal authority In adjudging
whether or not the builder has lived
up to the specifications in erecting
buildings.
Builders Refuse to Bid.
The members of the Builders Ex
change, charging that this rule Is
grossly unfair to their Interests, have
bound themselves by a resolution never
to submit a bid on any school construe
tion until the arbitration clause has
been restored. They aver that the
architects now "have them by the
throat" and can ruin them at will.
"All we want Is a contract binding
on both parties concerned." said J. S.
Seed, president of the Builders n.x
change, yesterday. "We want reason
able treatment. Under the present
system, the superintending architect
can tell us to tear down the whole
work if it doesn't suit bis fancy, and
the only thing we can do Is to comply
with his reauest,"
The school authorities say that they
used to get "stung" regularly under
the arbitration plan, the rulings of the
committees being against them.
For weeks the Builders' Exchange
has been endeavoring to persuade the
School Board to give them the aroitra.
tion clause. Thus far the Board has
refused. A reconsideration of the ques
tion probably will be discussed tonight,
when members of the Builders' Ex
change are scheduled to meet with the
Judiciary committee of the Board in
the Board rooms at tne uourmouae.
Bids for the construction work on
the proposed Fulton Park School closed
Wednesday and probably will be opened
tonight. Among the seven bidders for
the general work none is a member in
good standing of the exchange. It is
understood that tne mas win run cou
eiderably over the estimated cost of the
building, $24,000. If such proves true
and the builders generally show a dis
position to raise the price of tne scnooi
work, it is practically certain that all
bids will be rejected.
Board May Do Building;.
In that event the Board probably will
trv to teach the builders a lesson by
taklnir the w-rk into its own hands.
delegating the superintendence of the
work to the school arcnuecc, wno wm
hire work by the day in separate con
trantn.
These firms submitted bids for the
Fulton Park work: James fa. w Inters,
John Almeter. Palmer-Ellison Construc
tion Company, Litherland & Abrey, E.
I. Cantine, A. E. Sykes and Griffith &
Boslar. In addition to the bids on the
general work three bids were submit
ted for the heating and ventilating ana
seven bids for the plumbing contract.
SALMON ARE PLENTIFUL
Large Catches Reported From Vicin
ity of Vancouver.
VANCOUVER, Wash., June 25. (Spe
cial.) Salmon fishing now Is at its
haizht for bluebacks and many big
catches are reported. A number of
fishermen come lit every day with a ton
of flsh after 24 hours' work.
On the drift from a point seven miles
above here to Just above the Vancouver
ferry 23 are seining for salmon and on
tha drift below the steel, bridge there
are a dozen doing well snaring flsh.
Some of the thrifty housewives of
Vancouver are taking advantage of the
low price in salmon andare canning
fish for the Winter.
The process is simple. The fish are
cut into pieces small enough to fill a
common fruit jar, salted to suit the
taste and placed in a washboller or
similar contrivance and boiled for two
hours, the tops of the Jars being left
loose, so that the steam may escape.
The Jars are allowed to cool slowly,
when the tops are made tight.
MINISTER HARD TO FIND
Man AVith Marriage License Vainly
. Seeks Three at Albany.
ALBANY, Or., June 25. (Special.)
William Govro, who lives north of
Albany, obtained a license to wed
Annie Englert and went to the resi
dence of Professor Hans Flo, adjoin
ing the First Presbyterian Church here,
and asked where the pastor of the
church lived. He was informed that
Dr. Geselbracht is in Chicago. He in
quired where the pastor of the Chris
tian Church lived, and was told that
Rev. Mr. Emerson is in Boston. His
next inquiry was for the pastor of the
Baptist Church, and he learned that
Kev. Mr. Hicks is in Australia.
Finding that the object of his search
was getting further away with each
auestion Govro was almost afraid to
irosecute his . inquiry further. He
finally found Dr. E. M. Sharp, who

LARRY MILLER CONVICTED
Coos County Jury Blames Him for
Myrtle Point Robbery.
MARSHFIELD. Or., June 25. (Spe
cial.) Larry Miller, who bad been held
in the Coos County Jail for several
months, was today convicted of blow
ing the safe in the Myrtle Point bank.
where 112,000 was stolen early in the
Spring. Miller was held once before
and released. The evidence . against
him was gathered by Detective J. W.
Mitchell, of Portland, and Miller is the
first of three or four who may De con
victed.
The case was one of the roost diffi
cult In the annals of crime in this
section. Those who were guilty re
fused to give evidence, and Miller's
conviction was only obtained through
his own attempt to divide the swag
with others and on showing the place
where it was bidden, finding it had
been removed. One of the principal
witnesses - against bim was Frank
Vaughan, a convict who was brought
from the penitentiary several weeks
ago.
None of the money stolen has been
recovered, and although the fact was
not brought out In the trial, the de
tectives and county officilas have
confession from Vaughan saying that
he manufactured the nitro-e lvcerine
for the Job and Miller did the work.
A man named McDonald is said to be
implicated in the robbery and he will
be apprehended soon.

LOG RAFT PREPARED
Cigar-Shaped Tow to Start to
San Diego Monday.
OTHERS BEING MADE READY
Benson Company Is Sending First of
(Season's Shipments Plan of De
livery ProTea Success Raft Is
720 Feet long; Beam 5.
First of seven cigar-shaped log rafts
to leave the Columbia River this sea
son for California is to be ready Mon
day at Wallace Slough.. where it is un
der construction for the Benson Log;
ging Company. The tug; Hercules Is
reported on the way from Ban Fran
cisco to tow the raft to San Diego and
four others will follow during the sea
son from the same point. The Ham
mond Lumber Company has indicated
that it will have at least two Tafts this
season for San Francisco, the first of
which Is to be ready soon.
The Shaver Transportation Company
will have two steamers on hand to as
gist the Benson raft to the lower har
bor Monday, where it will be turned
over to the tug. The Hammond inter
ests will use their own steamers for
towing down the Coast, as has been
the practice.
Considering the fact that the cigar-
shaped rafts have been towed every
season fer several years and difflcul
ties have been met with only in a few
Instances, the plan of delivery has
proved successful. When accidents
have occurred and logs were reported
loose on the Pacific, some shipmasters
entered compialnt because of the dan
ger to navigation, but so far no dam
age to vessels has been directly traced
to the rafts.
Rafts assembled by the Hammond
Lumber Company are 720 feet long,
with beam of 56 feet and draw 24 feet
of water, containing approximately
550,040 lineal feet of piling. The ma
terial Is used at San Francisco mostly
in dock construction.
UNIFORM SYSTEM DISCUSSED
Conference Deals With Absorption
Charges by Railroads.
Suggestions made at the Seattle con
ference of Facific Coast port authori
ties, which ended last evening, that the
system in vogue at San Francisco on
wharfage and dockage be adopted at
all harbors, is not viewed as practical
by all representatives. G. B. Hegardt,
chief engineer of the Commission of
Public Docks, who was a delegate,
says the system is applied successfully
at San Francisco because the state has
monopoly on the docks and water
front. On Puget Sound and at Port
land the public docks are in competi
tion with privately-owned wharves, so
a uniform tariff could not be enforced
easily.
Mr. Hegardt says the conference is
to be permanent and the next session
is scheduled to be held at San Fran-
lsco during the 1915 Fair. It was
agreed to bring to the attention ot the
Interstate Commerce Commission the
matter of absorption of charges for
dockage and wharfage, as practiced by
railroads on their own docks when
freight is destined to or from a rail
point, which is alleged to be discrlm
inatory. Tho 0.-W. R. & N. and Spo
kane, Portland & Seattle have filed a
new- tariff through which shipments
to or from California and Alaska will
not receive the absorption benefits
fter July 3, so in the future only
freight bound to or from offshore ports
will ba favored.

TAX REFTXD HELD UNLIKELY
Commission Voluntarily Liquidated
on Municipal Dock Site.
There is little likelihood of the Com
mission of Publlo Docks obtaining I
refund of I'll paid as taxes for prop
erty In the Doscher Addition, on which
Municipal Dock No. 1 is being built.
according to an opinion given to the
County Commlasioneres yesterday by
Deputy District Attorney Pierce.
"It could not be held that the county
is responsible for any part of the I'll,
but 1109 distributed to the county
fund." said Mr. Pierce. "Under the cir
cumstances of this case the county
could not be compelled to return evn
that amount, as the tax was paid vol
untarily."
The Commission obtained a deed to
the property from the Northern Pa
cific Terminal Company in February.
The taxes for ISIS had not been paid.
and the County Treasurer refused to
allow the Northern Paclflo Terminal
Company to pay its taxes without In
cluding that on the dock site. The
Terminal Company refused to pay the
latter tax and it was paid by the Com
mission. Then the Commission peti
tioned for a refund from the County
Commissioners on the ground that the
land was exempt from taxation be
cause it is city property.
