THE MORXIXG ORE GO NT AN, ' FRIDAY. " NOVEMBER 13, 1914. LEGISLATURE MAY CHANGE LIEN LAWS NEW LIGHTVESSELS CHANGE ON UMATILLA BEEF STATION TO PERMIT ONE BEING SENT HEBE FOB EXTENSIVE BEP AIRS.' TELEPHONE Plans Are Afoot to Shield Property Owners From Un scrupulous Contractors. MREC DEFEATED ACT TO REVIVE 18 TORY ' - - --vPr Goes to Press Nov. 16, 1914 ' Other Legislation Also Shapes, Nearly All Having Pet Measures Race for . Speakership Enlivens.' Session Clerkships Sought. Oregon's present system of lien lavra . probably will be amended at the forth coming: session of the Legislature, "so that owners or property will not be held liable for the debts of unscrupu lous contractors. An attempt at a simi lar revision was made at the last ses sion, but failed of passage in the Sen ate after it had passed the Houoe. A. concerted movement already is un der way among many of the newly elected members, of the next Legisla ture to reintroduce the bill that was de feated in 1913, or to submit one with similar provisions. Under the present law, it is pointed out, the owner of property is held re sponsible for the unpaid bills of con tractors for material and labor. Tenants also can order repairs or improvements to property without knowledge of the owner and allow the bills to pass up to the owner for payment. Labor Only Lien BuU. Under, the proposed changes labor alone would be accepted as & cause for lien against property. After the other bill had passed the House a lobby of dealers in building supplies and contractors' materials be came active and declared that its enact ment would ruin some of them finan cially. " The proposed legislation is Intended, if possible, to protect both the owners of property and dealers in supplies, but land a hard blow on dishonest con tractors. Other forms of legislation are in the making. Nearly every member of either House has a pet bill upon which he is working. Meanwhile the contest for the Speak ership grows more exciting. Multno mah County's four candidates continue actively in the race. A caucus of the Multnomah delegation probably will be held within the next few weeks with the intention of obtaining the solid sup port of the Multnomah Representatives for one of their members. Four Active In Race. It is certain that the names of Ben Belling. S. B. Huston and B. V. Little field will be presented to the caucus. Of these Huston is making the most active canvass. Ben Selling, it is under stood, will accept the place if it is of fered him. Huston and Selling as well as Littlefleld probably will support the caucus candidate. Conrad P. Olson, the fourth candidate from Multnomah County, has not agreed to enter the caucus or to support the caucus nominee. He has considerable strength outside the county. Allen H. Eaton, of Eugene, also is conducting an independent canvass and has enlisted strength, but not enough. It is believed, to win him the place. It is considered possible that Eaton and Olson may pool their interests. In that event it is believed that the Multnomah County caucus nominee will have for midable opposition. Vernon A. Forbes, of Bend, is not likely'to continue his campaign for the Speakership into the caucus. Inasmuch as W. Lair Thompson, , who probably will be the President of the Senate, and Forbes live in the same district, it is likely that Forbes will withdraw, as the Legislature cannot be expected to hand out the two principal offices to Central Oregon members. Thompson Likely to Win. Senator Thompson's election as Presi dent is reasonably certain. W. D. Wood, of Washington County, had expected to be a candidate, but it is understood that he now proposes to support Sena tor Thompson. It is reported that Dan Kellaher, of Portland, also may be a candidate. W. F. Drager, of Salem, who has served as chief clerk in the House for the last five or six sessions, probably will be re-elected to that office. John W. Cochran, of Portland, who was chief clerk of the Senate two years ago, is a candidate for re-election, and has strong support from all the hold over Senators as well as from many new members. He made an enviable record in the 1913 sessicn for efficiency and courtesy, and Beveral Senators have solicited him to take the office again. Dudley H. Clark, of Portland, is un derstood to be a candidate for reading clerk of the House, with good chances for election. POSTAL FRAUD IS ALLEGED Armenian Accused of Getting Cash on Money Order Twice. Eerab Kurkljan, an Armenian, was arrested Wednesday by Deputy United States Marshall Jackson and Postoffice Inspector Clement on a charge of fraudulently obtaining payment on a money order. It is alleged that Kurki Jan bought a $100 money order in favor of an uncle in Armenia. This was at Independence, where the money ordet, was returned with word that the Turk- ish government had been unable to de liver it. A domestic order to Kurkijan was issued. Later a man representing himself as a friend of Kurkijan cashed the order, it is alleged. Some time aft erward Kurkijan appeared and said Dick Arslaien, Armenian labor contrac tor, had sworn falsely to get the pay ment made to ICurkijan's supposed mend. Arslaien said that if he had made a mistake, which he did not think he had, he would give Kurkijan the money, and accordingly gave him $100. Kurkijan was the beneficiary of both payments, the Government investiga tors believe. BRITISH HERO KNOWN HERf Owen Fagan, Who Visited Portland in 1912, Wounded in Athlon. Among the British soldiers who have brtn wounded at the front is Owen Fagan, of Dublin, who was In Port land for four months in the Spring of 3 912, at which time he was Sergeant of Detectives in Dublin, coming here to take an absconder named Hender son back to Ireland. Henderson's legal fight caused the delay. James Beggs. of 127 Sixth street, an intimate friend of Fagan's, received a brief note from Fagan saying that he had been wounded at the front, but would return in due time to his real merit, and an illustrated London paper wiin lagans picture while in action.

Beck, inspector of the Seventeenth Lighthouse District, for. Light vessel No. 67 to steam from Umatilla Reef to Portland for an overhauling and to have repairs made at the plant of the Willamette Iron & Steel Works, resulted in the Relief Lightvessel taking station there yester day. No. 67 will have work done under contract that will cost ab-ut $15,000, and there are optional items to be ordered that will increase the expenditures several thousands of dollars. PILOTS SHAKE PRICE River Guides Want $2400 Yearly Paid Monthly. DREDGING CONTRACT UP City Application for Reduction, of Drydock Charge Denied Santa Catalina to Be in St.' Johns Lift if Job Is Won Here. Guarantees of $2400 a year for each of five pilots, to whom it is proposed to trust the service at the entrance of the Columbia River, in addition to ex penses shouldered in traveling to other harbors to bring vessels to the river, and all to be paid- monthly if the gross receipts do not eiiual that sum, Is the latest proposal of the marine guides made to the Port of Portland Commis sion. The latter favors allowing $150 each a month and settling on a $200 basis twice ajear, but on the net re ceipts. The matter was discussed at a meet ing of the Commission yesterday, when a communication was presented, signed by Pilots George W. Wood and R. Swanson, representing the men at the mouth of the river. The Port had pro posed a guarantee of $150 a month and to carry the men free on the tugs, providing sleeping quarters and meals for them, in return for which the pilots were to maintain the present maximum rates and pilot sailing vessels, in tow of the Port's tugs, without recompense. Further Conference Armnged. The Commission does not object to the $200 guarantee, as that has been paid to the pilots until the recent cut to $130 a month, and the new arrange ment will relieve the Port of all re sponsibility in handling vessels. Com missioners J. W. Shaver and E. W. Spencer and M. Talbot, who conducted negotiations, were aeiegatea 10 aei urther with the pilots. The latter'uggested a change in tne Oregon law-Pthrough which only pilots havine a state branch would De recos- r.ized, but that is regarded as a step to be taken before the Legislature. The Commission shortly will enter Into a contract with the btandard American Dredging Company, which has undertaken to fill behind Astoria's new seawall, to move 1.500,000 cubic vards of material with the dredge oo lumbia, being paid therefor at the rate of 7 cents a vara wnen moveu a u- tance of 300 feet or less and cent additional for each 500 feet in excess of 3000 feet, but not to exceed 4200 feet, and with not more than lai leet of pontoon pipeline out. The dredging cornoratlon Is to give a Dona in tne fcsum of $100,000. Santa Catalina Contract Wonted. The Chamber of Commerce requested that the Commission aid- in obtaining a contract for repairing . the burned steamer Santa Catalina here, as the public drydock at St. Johns would nave to be used about au aays tor me wur.. The Commission agreed to set apart the dock with the understanding that the Oree-on drydock could be -used lor ves sels requiring .to De iiitea auring m&i nerlod. It has been estimated that close to $300,000 would be left here from the 1ob and employment given a num her of men during the worst of . the Winter. As to a request from Purchasing Atrent Wood, of the City of Portland, that the bill for drydocking the fire boat George H. Williams be reduced from $35$ about one-half, the Commas slon acted adversely, holding that as each of its vessels paid Into the dry dock fund at tariff when using the dock. no concession should be given the city or other administrative body bavins vessels to lift. Colonel McKinstry, Corps of Engi neers, United States Army, wrote to the Commission that only development work had been accomplished so far on the quarry at Fort Canby, from which it Is expected to draw some stone for the North Jetty. Mr. Talbot was asked to obtain additional information if available, dealinz with the probable uercentage of stone from there that would be used with the material being Durchased. Bids were opened for quarterly sup plies on the dredging and towing fleet and awards will be made after prices are compared on all articles.
