f
Arguments on Proposed Damming
of Stream for Drainage Purposes
Presented Protest Filed in
Washington to Remain.
Opposition by residents of the Penin
sula, and Alberta street districts to the
temporary closing of Columbia River
Slough for the purpose of reclaiming
8000 acres of land for agricultural pur
poses, defeated any chance of with
drawal of a protest filed with the War
Department by the city against the
plan at this time.
The opposition developed at a hear
ing before the Council yesterday and
in addition to preventing the city's
sanction to the proposed damming of
the waterway, it also renewed the
question of building of a sewage sys
tem for the northeastern part of the
city.
Following the hearing, at which both
those for and against the drainage dis
trict presented arguments, the Council
referred the question back to City Com
missioner Barbur and allowed the pro
test now on file in Washington to re
main. Dam 1m Proposed.
Owners of 8000 acres of land adjacent
to the slough formed a drainage dis
trict, known as the Multnomah Drain
age District No. 1, and petitioned the
War Department for approval to erect
a dam across the slough near the Union
avenue approach of the Interstate
bridge. This plan was proposed in or
der that the land in the district might
be drained and used for agricultural
purposes. During the high water
stage it was proposed to pump the
water over the dam and thus prevent
its overflow onto the lands.
Protest against the plan was made by
citizens favoring the retention of the
claim that the slough is navigable,
which they held would be lost the mo
ment that an obstruction was placed
across the stream. Residents in the
Alberta street and Peninsula district
also joined in the protest on the
ground that the plan would prevent the
use of the slough as an outlet for the
aewage of the district.
Pledges Are Made.
The proposed agreement pledged the
drainage district to give the right of
way along the slough to the city at any
time that proceedings to deepen the
channel began. It was also stipulated
that the city withdraw its protest now
on file in Washington and agree to
build all necessary bridges across the
slough and dike the waterway as
means of protecting the farms in the
drainage district from overflow.
Without withdrawal of the city's
protest the controversy must go to the
Government for a hearing. City En
gineer Laurguard explained that the
drainage district had made valuable
concessions to the city and that in the
event of a hearing the War Department
might grant the request made by the
drainage district, close to the slough
and the city would then be forced to
purchase all rights of way along the
stream.
A hearing before Colonel George A.
Zln, Corps of Engineers, United States
Army, in Portland will be the flnal
means of determining the controversy.

MARCEL SUED FOR $450
DA.MHC MASTER'S ASSOCIATE DE
MANDS MONEY FOR WORK.
Breach of Contract Alleged In Action
Started In Municipal Court by
Glenna Del Gado.
Monsieur Ivan Marcel, a Portland
dancing master bearing a euphonious
foreign monacher, whose recent esca
pade in appropriating publicity meth
ods employed by Ruth St. Denis
brought him a $100 fine in the Munici
pal Court on a charge of fraudulent
advertising, may experience the thrill
of paying Glenna Del Gado, former
pirouetting associate of his, the sum
f $450 for the twists and turns and
ight. fantastic tip-toeing which she
contributed to a ballet Egyptienne, an
artistic production staged and directed
by the monsieur at the Heilig. May 1.
Mile. Del Gado. in a suit for breach
of contract filed yesterday morning,
exhibits' a contract under date of Feb
ruary 27, which stipulates that Mon-
leur Marcel had agreed to pay her
450 by May 1 to appear as a "dramatic
anseuse in a "ballet Egyptienne" to
be produced by him. Nine perform
ances were specified, but Mile. Del
Gado, according to her version, was to
receive $450 whether she appeared once
or nine times.
The ballet Egyptienne, true to pre
dicted form, came and went May 1, the
date of its first and last performance.
Since then, she declares, all talk of
further exhibitions of the Cleopatra
like ballet has been abandoned, at least
temporarily.
Mile. Del Gado asserts that at the
one performance at the Heilig, May 1,
she did all that was asked of her to
help Monsieur Marcel's reputation as a
devotee of the ballet Egyptienne.
Charles E. Couche, an advertising
man who assisted Marcel with the ad
vance arrangements, is named aa co-
defendant with Monsieur Marcel.
The suit was filed through Attorney
John F. Logan. -
COX MAY BE DRAFTED
LETTER FROM BOARD FORWARDED
TO BCCKAROO PLAYER
Summons to Duty Expected by Portland
Backstop Who Has Been Oat of
Game With Bad Finger.
Judge McCredie is having his
troubles again. Yesterday a mysteri
ous looking letter arrived at baseball
headquarters for Elmer Joseph Cox.
postmarked "Tombstone, Ariz., and
was from the draft board of that city.
The Portland magnate appeared to
be quite worried lest the letter, which
was immediately forwarded to Cox at
Tacoma. where the Buckaroos are
playing, might be a demand for Cox to
Join the army, in which case the Buck
aroos would lose one of their stalwarts.
When Cox was with the Buckaroos
at Pendleton -he received notice to ap.
pear for medical examination, and his
examination papers were immediately
rorwardea to the draft board at Tomb
stone. Since that time Cox has been
expecting a letter telling him to report
lor duty.
Cox has been on the disabled list
with a broken finger and only returned
to tne game last Sunday, when he
played right field in the second game
against Seattle. Manager Fisher
planned on using Cox as a regular out
fielder since Cliff Lee showed the fans
that he is a much better backstop than
ne is an outlieider.
Until Cox receives the letter at Ti
coma today it will not be known
whether or not he will be lost to the
Buckaroos.
