THE 3IORIXG OREG ONI AX. TUESDAY, MAY 27, 1919. DEMOCRATIC BREAK two years aso, all public garages in Portland which house more than four automobiles must be located in fire-, proof buildings by January 1, -1920. Letters informing the garage, man agers and owners of this fact have been mailed by Fire Marshall Ed Gren fell and the result is a flood of in quiries reaching Building .Inspector Plummer. "The provision," said Mr. Plummer, "will result in an insurance against fire for the automobile owners, will be a big benefit to the garage owners and will also serve to stimulate building, which at the present time hardly needs stimulation. Nevertheless, the more fireproof buildings Portland has the cheaper will be the rate of fire insur ance and the less fire hazard will we have to contend with."

OPPOSITIOX TO SEWAGE OUT LET IS OVERCOME. 23 CHARGED In anxious suspense democrats are waiting the action of the national committee in Chicago tomorrow as to whether Dr. J. V. Morrow will be seat ed as Oregon's national committeeman, or whether Newton McCoy, with a proxy from Will H. Hornibrook, will be welcomed to the sacred circle. Dr. Morrow carries the hopes of the friends of Senator Chamberlain, while Mr. Mc Coy personifies the enemies of the senator. Friends of Dr. 'Morrow do not hesi tate to charge that the opposition to tl.o doctor has been ribbed up by Frank K. Myers, postmaster, and they rise to inquire who is paying tSe expenses of I.Ir. McCoy on the momentous Journey. Being somewhat forgiving, some of the doctor's friends explain that a few of thss democrats who are knocking the doctor are acting In good faith, not realizing that they are being used as catspaws by the astute postmaster. Rotr Charged to Myers. Almost any stir against Chamberlain Is attributed by the senator's followers to Mr. Myers, albeit Mr. Myers' hand is not always seen. These friends point out that Mr. Hornibrook was supported by Mr. Myers when he was an candi date for national committeeman againsc Mr. Morrow, and that it was to Mr. Myers and not to the state central com mittee that .Mr. Hornibrook mailed an JSOO check or was it $400? from Siam for the Wilson campaign fund, and that Mr. Myers did not turn over the check to the campaign committee. As a further charge in the indictment against Mr. Myers, the Chamberlain men recall that when Mr. Easterly was national committeeman Mr. Myer undertook to run the job, and when Mr. Easterly laid down and quit Mr. Myers was enthusiastic for Mr. Horni brook as a successor. Morrow Pays Own Expenses. And, by way of comparison, they say that Dr. Morrow is the first na tional committeeman the party has had who is willing to spend his own money to make trips to the east to get rec ognition for Oregon democracy, and that he is now undertaking to do more than his predecessors in his effort to' have the western headquarters of the party located in Portland. The sudden decision of Mr. Horni brook to withdraw his resignation, nfter the state committee elected Dr. Morrow, and send Mr. McCoy to Chi cago is likely to bust up this plan of the doctor. The executive committee of the state committee has been called to meet to morrow afternoon, in anticipation of action by the national committee. If the latter body seats Mr. McCoy and then accepts Mr. Hornibrook's resigna tion, if presented by Mr. McCoy, the ex ecutive committee is to be apprised and will proceed to elect a national committeeman of its own. ' Oregonian Article Correct. The executive committee has five members in Portland, the sixth. Dr. Morrow, being on the firing line at Chicago. The majority of the com mittee consists of State Chairman Starkweather, Colonel R. A. Miller and Mrs. Alexander Thompson. That they can agree on someone satisfactory to the postmaster is understood, leaving Messrs. Lovejoy and McKenna, the minority, in the lurch. The following communication to The Oi-egonian has been received from Mr. Hornibrook: "I have been asked by a prominent democrat of Portland to state publicly through the columns of The Morning Oregonian as to whether or not the news item contained on the first page of The Morning Oregonian oBrSaturday, May 24, or the item contanled on the 14th page of the issue of The Orjgo nian on May 25, correctly defines my reasons for giving a proxy to Newton McCoy. "In reply thereto will state that my reasons for giving the proxy are .fully set forth in the letter addressed to Chairman H. G. Starkweather as printed in your issue of May 25. "WILL. H. HORNIBROOK." FLOOD CONTROL IS SOUGHT Survey of Eel Kiver Valley in Cali fornia Advocated. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, May 26. Representative La has introduced a bill in the. house ask ing for a survey to determine the prac ticability of flood control in the Eel river valley in Humboldt county, Cali fornia. Can-Whitthorne, one or the apprais r - of the custom-house at San Fran cisco, has been here the last few days. He came to meet hit son. Captain NVhitthorne, who returned from service overseas. In connection with the passage of the woman's suffrage amendment by the house the interesting historical fact is brought out that this amendment, drafted by Susan B. Anthony in 1875, was first introduced in January, 1878, by Senator Sargent of California. RIVER ROAD CONTRACT LET County Commissioners Award $100,- 00 0 Job to Baker Bros. Baker Bros. of . Portland were awarded the contract for -the grading of the Greeley street extension of the St. Johns river road, by the county commissioners yesterday. They bid 1105,576.63, using reinforced concrete culverts. The invitation of Ira L. Riggs to the commissioners to participate in the Victory Rose Festival was read. The report of Roadmaster Eatchel showed that the largest amount spent ths year was spent during April, 63, 048.87 being used during that month compared with $84,458.26 for the first three months of this year.

Owners and proprietors of garages located in wooden buildings through out the city are gathering data on the cost of building fireproof structures, or planning to move into fireproof buildings- by January 1, 1920, accord ing to H. E. Plummer, chief building inspector. 1 Under the provisions .of the building code, passed by the city council about Xorth Portland Improvement to Aid Scheme for Developing Man ufacturing District. With virtually all of the opposition against utilizing the Columbia river slough for a sewage outlet said to be withdrawn, plans are now being formu lated by City Engineer Laurgaard for digging the proposed channel from the slough to Columbia river. Several months ago strong opposition to this plan appeared, those opposing saying that nothing had been done to determine whether the plan was feas ible. The city council, at the sugges tion of City Commissioner Barbur, ap pointed J. C. .Wiley, an engineer from Boise, Idaho, who, after a thorough in vestigation, returned a report that the plan was In every way practical. An Ardinance authorizing the com mencement of the work will soon be presented to the city council. The city has entered, into an agreement with officials of" the Multnoma county drairfage district for co-operation in the matter pf the channel. The drain age district plans to reclaim 8000 acres on the Columbia river slough, and it was necessary for the city to secure assurance that certain plans of the dis trict would be changed to conform with the city's plans. "The channel will be dug this year," said Commissioner Barbur yesterday. "The cost of the channel will soon be determined, but careful estimates made heretofore place the cost at about $250,000, or about J8 for every lot in the district." Commissioner Barbur said that the digging of the channel would not only give the northeast section of the city opportunity to build sewers, but would also aid in the proposed plan of mak ing the Columbia slough district- the site for many manufacturing plants. Without the channel, he said, the slough could not be made into a stream of sufficient flow to warrant such a plan. IRRIGATION WORK STARTED Upper La n gel I Valley Is Confident Project Will Be Put Through. KLAMATH FALLS. Or., May 26. (Special.) The first preliminary work fof the irrigation of upper Langell val ley from the waters of Clear lake has been started, according to a reliable report, and, although there is much legal procedure yet to be gone through before this reclamation is fully assured, the residents are hopeful the work can be continued until the water is on the land. This tract, which was formed into an irrigation district several months ago by vote of the residents, comprises be tween 16.000 and 20.000 acres. It in ex pected the water will be secured by means or the United States reclamation service, which has made an offer of the Clear lake water at a very low figure, the farmers to dig the main canal and the smaller. ditches. It is now expected the district coun sel of the United States reclamation service will be here in a short time and that a contrr.ct for water will be made. TWO SEAPLANES PROMISED Exhibition Flights for Victory Rose Festival Are Assured. Definite assurance that two sea planes will be aboard the flagship Minneapolis when it brings Admiral Fullam with his fleet to Portland to visit the Victory Rose Festival, June 11, 12 and 13, was received yesterday by President Ira L. Riggs of the fes tival association in a telegram from Senator McNary. In a letter received from Admiral Fullam to Captain Jacob Speier, Port land's harbormaster, it was said that Lieutenant McMurray, son of William McMurray, general passenger agent of the O.-W.. li. & N. company's lines, would be in command of the seaplanes. The fact that Lieutenant McMurray, a Portland boy, has been assigned to come to Portland in charge of the sea planes .and will give exhibitions with the machines is gratifying to the di rectors of the Rose Festival and to the many friends of Lieutenant McMurray.
