That ownership of the land along the waterfront in Portland has been eet tied by the State Supreme Court, and that there are no legal difficulties standing in the way of proposed lm provement of the harbor areas on a comprehensive scale, is the gist of an pinion submitted yesterday by City At torney LaRoche to the City Commis sion. The opinion is in reply to a reso lution adopted by the City Commission asking the city's legal department to commence action to determine title to all lands between high and low-water lines." Mr. LaRoche contends no action or Investigation is necessary, the entire question having been settled by the State Supreme Court in the well-known case of the Pacific Elevator Company against the City of Portland. ' The de cision in this case, Mr. LaRoche re ports, settled the question of ownership of the land in favor of the upland or riparian owners. Title Is With State. - The court in this case holds," reads Mr.- LaRoche's opinion, "that tne acts of the Legislature of 1874 and 1876 granted: and confirmed the title of the state to the lands lying between high water and low water in the Willamette River to the upland owners. The public right, for purposes of navigation, in the navigable waters of this stream, was in nowise affected or impaired by the change of title." Mr. LaRoche takes up the entire question of the waterfront improve ments and outlines what might be done. He says there is nothing in the way at present to prevent a comprehensive harbor improvement system being car ried out without further legislation or lawsuits. Improvement Plam Suggested. "'In the preparation of any plan look ing to the future needs of commerce and navigation on the Willamette River within Portland," he says "It would seem of the first importance to determine the lines for a permanent harbor, and if, In looking to the future, it should be determined that greater widths should be provided in the main stream for the passage of ships than is now afforded or needed, it would be possible to establish two harbor lines on each side of the river. The harbor lines .giving the least navigable space could be used for the construction of temporary structures, and the harbor lines affording the greater navigable space could be used for permanent structures, and when the temporary structures, by reason of decay and use. become ynfit for further service they could be dismantled and removed to give place to permanent structures on the second harbor lines. "By this means the rights of property owners on the river would be fully con served and the rights of the general public protected without requiring the outlay of any money for the removal of temporary structures when they shall have fulfilled their functions. Nothing; Seen In Way. "As the Port of Portland Commission in its work in the harbor of Portland is directing Its efforts In aid of naviga tion and commerce of the port, there would seem to be no difficulty of ef fecting perfect co-ordination between that body and the Dock Commission in their efforts, directed as they are, toward one common object. "The whole matter impresses this de partment as sufficiently free from legal difficulties to permit the adoption of a comprehensive plan for improvement of the harbor area to meet the future requirements of this port, under which the state agencies could work in per ffect harmony."

Oregon Only School Known to Lower Number One Fact Set Forth Be fore Oregon Civic League. ' A plea for the passage of the lnitla tive measures to provide funds for the maintenance of tne normal schools at Ashland and Weston was made before the revenue and taxation department of the Oregon Civic League at a lunch eon at the Hazelwood yesterday by Benjamin C. Sheldon, secretary of committee of Southern Oregon people who are working for the measures. The committee includes J. H. Booth of Roseburg; E. E. Blanchard, of Grants Pass; W. H. Meredith, of Wedderburn; C. C. Beekman, of Jacksonville; E. V. Carter, of Ashland; William S. Worden, of Klamath Falls; S. P. Moss, of Lake view, and J. P. Wells, of Jacksonville, president of the Western division of the Oregon State Teachers' Association. "The question to be decided is hether a state is benefited more by one large normal school or' by. several distributed throughout the state," said Mr. Sheldon, "and whenever a change has been made in any other state it has always been such as to increase the number of schools, because it has been shown that a normal school draws its pupils largely from its Immediate territory." Mr. Sheldon asserted that Oregon is the only state that has ever reduced the number of its normal schools; that Oregon schools must find more than 1000 new teachers yearly, and that 80 3 - . . mi ear. 7 The Store of 100 Per Cent Service The "Beaufort" Fall Suit In the Saturday Evening Post today you'll see a full page description of the 4 Beaufort " model, illustrat ed here.
