WILSON MAY FORGE
VVATER-POWERISSUE
Wishes of West to Be Disre
garded in Effort to Fasten
Federal Control.
HOPE RESTS IN SENATE
Administration's Programme Seems
to Be Kerrls Bill or None and
Defeat of Measure Is Most
States Can Expect.
6REGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, 'Wash
ington. Oct. 1. While the Administra
tion may consent to certain modiftca
tions of the Ferris water-power bill
it will not consent to the elimination
of the basic principle involved Fed
eral control but rather will go to
Congress urging in the strongest pos
sible terms the enactment of a water
power statute that confers on the Fed
eral Government the unrestricted right
to regulate power development on the
public domain.
The fact that strong sentiment irk
the Western states, as evinced at the
Portland conference, is arrayed against
Federal control and in favor of state
regulation will not sway the Adminis
tration. This means either that the Ferris
bill, possibly somewhat modified, will
be jammed through Congress with Ad
ministration backing, or else the entire
water-power problem will be forced
over to another session, after a dead
lock in the Senate.
I'reNiilent Can Block LesiMlatlon.
If the President, backed by his
entire Administration, is unable to
force Congress to pass the Ferris bill
in what he thinks is satisfactory form,
he at least will have enough votes to
prevent the passage of a bill accept
able to the West and built on the
principle of state control and regula
tion. The Administration counts on sup
port and co-operation from the East
and South. In those parts of the coun
try sentiment has been strong in favor
of Federal regulation of all the natural
resources of the West and in favor of
a Federal leasing system, the principal
i3ea being that the remaining resources
should be made to produce revenue fur
the Federal Treasury. There have
been occasional Easterners and South
erners in Congress who, after tours of
the West, have accepted the Western
viewpoint, but only a comparative few
of the Eastern men in Congress have
first-hand knowledge of conditions in
the West, and the uninformed have
been ready to accept the view of the
conservation leaders.
Division Adds to Difficulties.
What will make the fight the more
difficult for supporters of the state
control idea is the division that took
place at the Portland conference. It
was there shown that the West is not
unanimous in its opposition to the Fer
ris bill, or to the fundamental idea on
which that bill is based, and this di
vision, which will be reflected by the
Western delegations in Congress, will
give the Administration ground on
which to base its contention that the
state-control idea Is not unanimously
indorsed by the West.
Senators Walsh and Myers, of Mon
tana, will favor the Ferris bill in mod
ified form; Senators Pittman and New
lands, of Nevada, will stand with the
Montana Senators, as will Senator
Chamberlain, of Oregon, and there may
be others, not only in the Senate, but
In the House, also.
Had the Portland conference gone
cn record unanimously as opposing the
essential features of the Ferris bill,
and favoring recognition by the Fed
eral Government of the state's consti
tutional control over the water, and on
that theory had unanimously advocated
a bill providing for water-power de
velopment under control of the re
spective states, except where projects
are interstate in character, the pros
pect of passing a workable state
control bill would have been much
brighter. '
KlKht Must Be Made In Senate.
There appears to be only one way of
defeating the Ferris bill, namely, by a
protracted fight against it in the Sen
ate. It is destined to pass the House
again, for in that body it will go
through not only as a party measure,
but onft which commends itself gen
erally to Eastern sentiment. In the
Senate, however, the privilege of un
limited debate may make it possible
for the advocates of state control to
kill the Ferris bill, unless it is rad
ically amended.
The prospects for passing a state
control bill are dark. Only by an ex
tensive personal campaign, a campaign
of education, conducted by Western
Senators and representatives among
their Eastern and Southern colleagues,
can a stronir sentiment be built up in
favor of a state control bill, and it is
extremely doubtful whether there will
he time during the next session with so
much other important business pend
ing to carry such a campaign to a suc
cessful conclusion. It looks like the
Ferris bill or no bill at all.

TURRETDECK SHIP IN
Haigh Hafl Attracts Attention
in Portland Harbor.
LONG RUN IS COMPLETED
Port Said Port of Departure and
Steamer Held I."p Several Days
in Panama Canal by Slide.
Sailor Suicide Suspected.
Turretdeck steamers, while not a
novelty here, are such infrequent vis
itors as to be of interest always, and
the British steamer Haigh Hall, lining
at the Eastern & Western mill to load
wheat, is no exception. She is referred
to by mariners as a Doxford ship be
cause of having- been built at the Dox
ford yards, Sunderland, in 1908. She
ia of 3069 tons net register, and is said
to carry a deadweight cargo of 8300
tons.
The Haigh Hall completed a long run
on reaching here, her port of departure
having been Port Said. She reached
Colon September 3, andxwas held until
September 10 because of a slide in
Culebra cut. On being- released she
moved past the obstruction ir a channel
that had been dredged for the nassaee
of one vessel. at a time, and her slow
trip up the Coast was attributed to
strong head winds. As she made the
run from Astoria to Portland in
hours, she certainly is capable of better
time than the average reeled off coining
Ljrom the Canal
Hospital Ships umrronit.
Those aboard the Haigh Hall say
that British hospital ships are as thick
as can be in the Mediterranean, every
preparation having been made appar
ently to care for the troops engaged
in. the Dardanelles, and passing them all
nignt, tney say, made an attractive
picture, for each ship has rigged over
the side an immense cross, outlined
in electric lights, while other lights
are placed to show the green stripe
running from stem to- stern, the hull
being white.
Because of likelv trouble from the
Egyptian side of the Suez Canal it is
said that all vessels locked through
have their bridge decks piled high with
bags of sand, so the pilots and officers
on watch are protected from "snipers."
and alon& the opposite bank British
troops, mostly Australians with some
of the regular regiments, are on duty.
Aeroplanes and British naval vessels
are said to be in the vicinity in num
bers.
The Haigh Hall called at St. Lucia
on the way to bunker, and she signed
three negroes and a Kussian Finn there.
Suicide Ia Suspected.
The latter is thought to have com
mitted suicide while the ship was an
chored in Gatun Lake, in the Panama
canal, as he left a note in his bunk
to the effect he would do away with
himself and was missed while the ship
was in sucn a position it was not be
lieved he made the shore. Police at
Colon were notified and given the note.
Two stowaways. Arthur B. Currv and
Arthur W. Mathews, both Americans,
were discovered after the steamer left
the Canal, they having gone aboard
while she was coaling at Colon. They
earned their transportation by trim
ming coal, and on arriving hers were
turned over to United States Immigra
tion Inspector Barbour, who released
them.
Daniel Iaughran. boatswain of th
Haigh Hall, was taken to the hospital
yesterday suffering from a stomach
disorder, and'is expected to be able to
join the ship, when she fs loaded with
grain for her outward voyage. She is
consigned to Kerr, Gifford & Co.
CTf'IOX WOITD ERECT STEEXi
Dock Commission Paves Way for
Harmony on Stark-Street Contract.
To consider a complaint mada bv
Frank Hannan, business agent of the
ttriage ana structural Iron Workers
Union, that J. A. Backstrand, a con
tractor engaged in the erection of a
second story on the Stark-street munic
ipal boat landing, a special meeting of
the Commission of Public Docks was
called yesterday.
Mr. Hannan s point was that steel
material, in the way of beams, deliv
ered there had been handled by. labor
ers. Mr. Backstrand said that was done
because two beams delivered had to be
moved under shelter and repainted be
bore being placed in position, but said
that it was his intention to employ
teel workers ror erecting all parts.
F. W. Mulkey, chairman of the Commis
sion, said that the contract provided
for the employment of Portland labor
at prevailing wages, and the Commis
sion could not dictate whether union
or nonunion men were retained. The
matter of continuing the contract with
out such friction was left tq the dis
cretion of G. B. Hegardt, chief engineer
of the Commission.
CAPACITY CARGO OX BEAVER
Southbound Cargo Going In Quan
tity, So Ships Are Loaded.
Considering the fact she carries 300
tons of ballast in the way of railroad
steel, the "Big Three" flagship Beaver,
Captain Mason, which inaugurates the
Winter schedule of that line from
Portland in sailing at 3 o'clock tomor
row afternoon, will have about the
largest cargo she has yet handled from
Portland, as the prospects are it will
be in excess of 2700 tons deadweight
and about 3400 tons measurement.
The North Pacific liner Roanoke left
tho Golden Gate on time yesterday and
Is due tomorrow, while the F. A. Kll
burn of that fleet comes in and sails
Monday. The same day the Rose City
is due from the south. The Roanoke
sails Wednesday and the Rose City
Friday. There is an active movement
of wheat south on all regular vessels.
while other cargo is in sufficient quan
tlty to make the early Fall business
encouraging.
MIDDLE RIVER BE1XG DREDGED
Hood River and Mosier Approaches
to Be Deepened by Steamer Line,
To improve depths at landings at
Hood River and Mosier The Dalles,
Portland & Astoria Navigation Com
pany has sent the clamshell dredge 02,
of the Diamond O fleet, to those points.
She was towed by the steamer Dia
mond O and was assisted through the
rapids above th Cascades by the
steamer Dalles City. I
D. C. O'Reilly, head of The Dalles,
Portland & Astoria Navigation Com
pany, is there in person and the plan
is to remove material at both places
so steamers can make the landings
without delay at all times.
Recently The Dalles-Columbia line
constructed landings at a few places
and have plans for others, so that work
and the dredging- is being gained by
the upper river shippers without finan

DOLBADAld CASTLE IX PORT
Bark Sails From Port Xatal to Rtver
in 9 3 Days.
Ending a voyage that began at Port
Natal June 29, the British bark Dolba
darn Castle reached the river yester
day to load wheat under fixture to M.
H. Houser and is expected to be given
quick dispatch. The vessel's run of 93
days is regarded better than the aver
age from the South African harbor.
She was picked up outside by the tug
Oneonta, Captain "Hurryup" Johnson,
though there was a southeast blow on.
As the Oneonta is due for a minor over
hauling she will deliver the bark here.
The Volga and Snowdonlan did not
work grain- yesterday, though should
be started from here during the com

Followed by 40-Mlle Walk.
HOOD RIVER, Or.. Oct. 1. (Special.)
Welcomed back as though from the
grave. J. H. Gill returned to Hood
River this morning after wandering
to Dufur during a lapse of memory,
caused by a fall in the gorge of the
Hood River, where he was fishing. A
dozen or more of his friends were at
the O.-W. R. & N. station to greet
him as he alighted , from a westbound
train. Except that' he seems haggard
from the walk of 40 miles and a fast
of 36 hours, Mr. Gill, for whom more
than 100 men were searching yesterday
and the night before, is none the worse
for his unusual experience.
On Wednesday morning Mr. Gill left
his home on the Heights here to go
up the Hood River fishing. "I reached
my destination all right." says the re
tired merchant, who is 65 years of age.
"I remember baiting my hook, and
then I stumbled on a round boulder
and fell backwards. I remember un
buckling the strap of my fishing creel.
After that everything was a blank
until I came to myself near Boyd yes
terday afternoon. I recognised the
country after a bit and I turned back
to Dufur."
On reaching a hotel at Dufur Mr.
Gill asked the proprietor to telephone
his nephew, L. E. Taft, of this city.
The uncle and nephew returned this
morning.
Mr. Gill's fishing basket and rod were
discovered at the head of a long, deep
pool in the Hood River gorge Wednes
day night. The river below where he
was fishing was thoroughly dragged
yesterday.
