IMPROVEMENT WORK LESS .New Inspection Service Is Blamed Tartly for Disproportionate Com parison of Conditions Be tween 1912 and 1 9 1 4. Under two years and two months of commission government Portland has had an era of multiplying munici pal jobs and a soaring annual payroll that has gone up with leaps and bounds. The extent of this may be seen from payroll comparisons for the years since 1911. The total payroll during 1912, the last full year of councilman. c gov ernment, was $1,433,859.43. During 1914, the first full year of commis sion government, the total payroll was $ 1,697.810.06. This shows an increase of $263,950.63 for commission govern ment. These figures were compiled by City Auditor Barbur and include all sala ries except salaries paid in the Water Bureau, which come from the water fund raised from water rentals. Payroll Yet Is Soaring. And the payroll is still going up. Based upon the rate the city has gone for employes so far this year, the 1915 total will be $1,684,315. This Is based upon the payrolls for the first six months. The cause is new positions and Increased salaries. Take the Public Works Department for example. Here a study of the pay rolls iihows that the average pay for each employe is $3.08 more than In 1913 before the commission govern ment. Then the average for the em ployes was $92.46 a. month. Now it is $95.54 a month. The increased payroll has been brought about in spite of the city hav ing actually less necessary work than in 1912. Just for example, the city had to supervise the construction of improvements in 1912 amounting to $4,300,449.92, while in 1914 it super vised $2,633,480.59. or nearly 100 per cent less. Cannes Many and Varied. New jobs, more extensive work, new inspection service, handling of work never attempted before and increased general forces has been the cause of the big disproportionate comparison of, conditions between 1912 and 1914. A few of these are temporary. The great majority are permanent.

PACK BELOW LAST SEASON Bark Burgess Runs From Xushagak In 10 Days 9 Hours and Sets Xew Record for Vast Sailing Trip. Four of five vessels constituting the Columbia River division of the Alaska salmon fleet have reported, the tug Akutan having arrived Wednesday, the bark Levi G. Burgess at 4 o'clock yes terday morning and the bark Berlin and the bark St.. Nicholas were re ported outside, with the ship Reuce ex pected to be a close tailender. The arrival of the Burgess, Captain E. Thomsen, after an actual run of ten days and nine hours, was the talk of the waterfront yesterday. The Burgess has been known as a fast sailer under her present skipper, and her last per formance places her at the head of the list in covering the course from Nushagak. Like the Berlin and the tug Akutan. she belongs to the Alaska Portland Packers Association. - It was 1:30 o'clock the afternoon of August 22 that the Burgess was cast off from the tug Akutan in the open sea. after being towed a short distance from Nushagak, and the Berlin, also aided by the tug, got under way haTf an hour later. Both beat the Akutan to Ijnimak Pass, where the latter was to nave waited to assist the square riggers through, but on reachine there was informed that they had passed. The ships had aspanklng breeze behind them all the way, there being a fresh northwester on, and the fact they ar rived so soon after the Akutan, the Burgess being really only 12 hours be hind her. Indicates the speed attained. tne distance between the mouth of the Columbia and Nushagttk is placed at netween Zl30 and ZloO knots and the average speed of the Berlin was in ex cess of 200 knots a day. The best pre vious time was made by the ship C. F. Sargent in 1903, being 13 days on the way from Nushagak. At 4 o'clock yes terday afternoon the Berlin, according to a wireless received, was 50 miles west-northwest of the entrance to the t-oiumoia. The St. Nicholas left Nush agak August 15, and three days later was epoKen orr tnlmak Pass, so she has made an average run down the coast. The Shaver steamer Henderson left down yesterday to bring up the Bur gess, which berth! at Municipal Dock No. 1. as will the F erlin. Together they have S8.380 cases of the pack, which is about 1500 cases less than the chips brought back last year. How the pack will move is not known, as prices have not been named, and the upset condi tion of the foreign exchange market may exert an influence. K. A. Daly, superintendent of the Alaska-Portland Packers' Association, estimates that the total pack in the region of Bristol Bay this season was 40 per cent short of last season's total. BARGE PASSENGER DROWNED Launch Camas Flyer, AVlth Tow, Runs Into Steamer Tahoma. Pilot William Dunn, of the steamer Tahoma, yesterday filed a written re port with United States Steamboat Inspectors Edwards and Fuller of the drowning of an unknown passenger from a barge in tow of the launch Camas Flyer, at 10:25 o'clock Wednes day morning, near the head of Lady Island, when the Tahoma was en route from Portland to The Dalles. Captain Nelson, of the Tahoma, corroborated the report, which is being investigated by the inspectors. The statement of Pilot Dunn is that when nearing the head of Lady Island he saw the launch, towing the barge, off his starboard bow, there being sev eral passengers on the barge. The Ta homa sounded two whistles and the launch then described a circle and headed for the Tahoma, which was im mediately stopped, but the launch and barge struck the Tahoma about amid ships, and three or four persons on the barge fell overboard. Life preservers are said to have been thrown over the side at once, and the lifeboats lowered from the Tahoma, but one of the passengers was drowned A further statement is to be made today by Pilot Dunn, on the return of the Tahoma and the operator of the launch Camas will be asked to explain the accident. MICHIE DEEPENS COOS EAR Entrance to Have Depth of 30 Feet and Width of 3 0O Feet. More than 225,000 cubic yards of material were removed from the Coos Bay bar during August bv the Gov ernment dredge Col. P. s. Michie and with a depth of 28 feet found on Au gust 10 it is estimated that bv the end of the season there will be 30 feet at the entrance of that harbor and prob ably for a width of 500 feet. In June the Michie dug 210,000 cubic yards and in July 200.000 yards The August showing is the best she has made. When the dredge began opera tions In June there was 24 feet of wa ter on the bar for a width of 200 feet and August 10 It had been Increased to 28 feet and a width attained of 400 feet. , Captain John Reed has given uo command of the dredge to go on the tug allula later as master, and he nas been succeeded by Captain George Seely. pilot of -the Michie and for merly on the mine planting steamer Major Samuel Ringgold.

AT BOSTON Canal Service Gives Portland En trance to Eastern Harbors. Bringing Portland cargo, the liner Iowan. of the American-Hawaiian ban ner. Ealls from Boston September S on her way here from New York. It Is the first vessel of the line to call at Boston bound west In about a month, though the eastbound schedule provides for frequent stops there. In season. Port land sends considerable wool to Boston, and at all times there is a fair move ment of miscellaneous freight. On the steamer Montanan, due to leave here next week, will be consignments for Charleston. Boston and New York. The schedule for Fall and Winter provides for the delivery of eastbound cargo at those cities, so Portland is virtually in touch with the principal Atlantic ports on less than a monthly service. Gradually new trade is being worked up and goods heretofore not moved in this direction because of rates are getting started through the influ ence of lower water tariffs. LATHES NEEDED FOR SHELLS Federal Inspector Gets Bid for Ma chine Delivery in Year. Among bids opened yesterday at the office of Robert Warrack, Inspector of the Seventeenth Lighthouse Dis trict, for a lathe to be installed in the machine shop -at the Tongue Point Buoy station, was a letter from one manufacturer agreeing to furnish a lathe in 12 months, being unable to make delivery now as orders resulting from the war would tax the plant for that period. The machines are being used in manufacturing shells. The bid of Kay & Scott, of Dexter, Me., was in the sum of $1750, the Portland Ma chinery Company J1516 and Zimmerman-Wells-Brown Company $2171. Other tenders were opened for the purchase of 2000 cases of empty oil cans! there being 4000 cans in all, which were soia ror S60. The oil is sent here from Texas and as the . Bureau of Light houses has no use for the cans thev are collected semi-annually and dis posed or. About 4000 cases of oil are used each year in the Seventeenth dis trict in maintaining aids to naviga tion, in addition to gas buoys and uas stations ashore. TOOIS ARE WANTED FX ALASKA Engineering Commission Gives Portland Firms Chance to Bid. Portland firms are to be given an opportunity to bid on small tools, steel and similar supplies required by the Alaskan Engineering Commission, and specifications are being received from the office of C. E. Dole, purchasing agent for the Commission. Mr. Dole was formerly assistant purchasing agent in the Panama Canal Zone and is said to be well acquainted with Pacific Coast Jobbers and manufacturers, so it is expected that much of the- mate rial and equipment required in the Alaskan railroad project will be sup plied on the Coast. There is a large movement of lum ber looked for from the river as a result of the Government having un dertaken the big job in the north and that probably will be moved In full cargoes; so the absence of a regular line of steamers will not figure In the business. In other competition Portland firms must consider freight rates be tween Portland and Puget Sound. SHIPS CARRY NEARLY 1000 Many Farmers Inquire About Steam er Kates to Exposition. The twin ships Great Northern and Northern Pacific yesterday carried near ly 1000 passengers between California and Oregon. The Great Northern, southbound, was loaded with consider able grain, flour and a .miscellaneous assortment of freight. The Northern Paclnc is due at noon today with a passenger list of 502, and freight con sisting of merchandise, canned goods, fruit, sugar and other commodities for interior points. At the ticket office of the steamship company the high pressure for berth reservations has subsided, according to Lou F. Knowltoti, city ticket agent. In quiries from the country Indicate that many of the farming population are now planning trips to the exposition. XEW FREIGHT AGENT NAMED Frank Waterliouse to Look Alter Foreign Trade for Union Pacific. Frank J. Waterhouse has been ap pointed general foreign freight agent for the Union Pacific system, with headquarters at Seattle. He will begin his new duties immediately.

BOTH ARE NEARLY INSANE Investigating Board Members Find Secret Prison Within Walls of. Bastilc Deputy Demurs When Suggestion Made. SPRINGFIELD, 111.. Aug. 31. The most' inhuman treatment of prisoners ever brought to the attention of penologists in ten years' experience." is the term applied by the State Board of Auxiliary Visitors to the handling of inmates of the Madison. County Jail at Edwardsville. in a report just pre sented to the State Charities Commis sion. According to the report submitted to the commission, prisoners were con fined in dungeons in the Madison Coun ty bastile, practically devoid of day light and air and with no attempt at sanitation, and left there in filth and misery for days at a time. The report is one of many of similar trend coming from separate boards in various counties of the state which have reached the State Charities Com mission. Since the law limits the aetivities of the commssion to an ad visory capacity, there appears little likelihood of bringing about a general improvement in conditions except through popular clamor following pub licity of the revolting details. Three Are Jail Visitors. Under the Illinois charities act. the State Charities Commission appoints a board of auxiliary visitors of three members in each county to inspect the county institutions. The Madison County board consists of Sophia De muth. of Alton; Dr. E. W. Fiegenbaum, of Edwardsville, and Samuel D. Mc Kenny, of Alton, a clerk in the depart ment of the State Board of Adminis tration. The trio say that their finding of the dungeon victims was an accident. While they were in conversation with a Deputy Sheriff who was showing them through the Jail, in the absence of the Sheriff, one of the board mem bers was standing with his back against the door of a cell. While the conversation was in progress the oc cupant of the cell crept close behind this member and whispered: "For God's sake, look in the dun geon." Taking a chance upon the unex pected cue, the board member a little later suggested to the deputy that they proceed to look into the dungeons. Dungreon Prisoner Faints.- The deputy is said to have demurred to such a course, assuring the visitors that the chambers were empty. The board member was insistent however, and seeing no way out of the dilemma, the deputy finally surren dered and conducted the trio to the dungeons, located above the regular cells. When the door of the first dun geon was opened a hysterical man fell out upon the floor. The other dungeon cell was found to contain another offender, in nearly as bad a state of physical collapse.

No other evidence was presented against the suspects. . WOMAN EXILED TO SNOWS "Grandmother of Revolution" to Be Sent to Farthest North Point. CHILMARK, Mass.. Aug. 30. The abode of Mme. Catherine Breshkov skaya, known as the "grandmother of the Russian revolution." is not to be Yakoutsk, reckoned the least desirable of Siberian exile settlements, but Buline, 200 kilometers farther north, the last outpost on the icy frontier of the North Pole region, according to a letter received by Miss Alice Stone Blackwell. from one of Mme Bresh kovskaya's most trusted friends, and made public recently. A- previous letter received on August 14 last from Mme. Breshkovskaya herself, contained the news that she was to be sent to Yakoutsk. It now develops that the noted ex ile's stay in Yakoutsk is to be prelim inary to her banishment to the end of the world. She was recently sent to Yakoutsk for trying to escaoe from prison in Siberia, where she had been sent for life. Only two political exiles have been sent to Bulune in 20 years. Both were men. Mme. Breshkovskaya is 71 years old and is losing her sight. For seven months of the year Bulune is nut eft from communication even by post from the outside world bv arctic snows. AUCTION SALES TODAY.
