Grimy Workers Burrow Through
Muck and Rock Toward 4 7
Fire-Trapped Miners. ..
JACKSON, Cal., Sept. 13. In spite
of disheartening progress on the
seventeenth day of the fight to
burrow through dirt, muck and rock
to 47 men imprisoned in the burning
Argonaut mine, grimy rescue work
ers emerging from the ground to
night after their exhausting grind,
predicted that they .would smash
through to their entombed fellows
by late Friday night.
Small gains were effected today
by crews battering from the 3600
and 3900-foot levels of the adjacent
Kennedy mine. At 4 o'clock this
afternoon a total of 63 feet was still
to be mucked and dug on the 3600
foot level before a wall of 75 feet I
of solid rock is reached. On the
3900-foot level the total footage will
be reduced to 98 feet after five feet
of rock has been blasted away tonight.
Meanwhile, on the assumption tnat
many, if not all, the entrapped min
ers have perished, preparations went
forward to care for the bodies ex
pected to be recovered. Temporarily,
it was said tonight by officials, all
bodies will be left where they are
found and rescue crews will com
the labyrinth of passages In the
Argonaut's depths . for men who
might be alive. When a body is
found rescue workers will mark the
location on an official map and this
work will be continued until every
one of the 47 has been accounted
for.
Bodies of victims of the disaster
will be sealed In canvas bags before
they are brought to the surface, ,on
account of the probable state of de
composition, it was announced by
Byron O. Pickard, district mining
engineer of the United States bureau
of mines who, with a corps of as
sistants. will have charge of this
task.
MR. PIERCE AT MEDF0RD
Candidate Promises to Reduce
Taxes if He Is Elected.
MEDFORD, Or., Sept- 13. (Spe
cial.) Walter M. Pierce of La
Grande, democratic candidate for
governor, addressed a small crowd
in the city park at noon today. Mr.
Pierce was introduced by George A.
Mansfield, president of the Oregon
state farm bureau. . Mr. Mansfield
declared that "confiscation of prop
erty by mounting taxes," was the
only issue in the campaign.
The gubernatorial aspirant also
announced that tax reforms were
the only issue before the people.
Mr. Pierce promised to reduce
taxes if elected, but made no men
tion in the first 45 minutes of his
talk, relative to his Indorsement of
the compulsory educational bill yes
terday, which will result if passed,
in $1,000,000 or more additional tax
expense.
YOUNG BOY DISAPPEARS
Cottage Grove Youth Fails to
Arrive at Home.
COTTAGE GROVE, Or, Sept. 13.
(Special.) Gordon White, 15-year-
old son of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. White
of Cottage Grove, has disappeared.
He left Fossil, Or., where he had
spent the summer working on
ranch at the home of his sister, Mrs.
McKinley Huntington, ostensibly to
return to his home In Cottage Grove,
August 30, and was to have met his
sister, Miss Wilma White, a student
in Reed college in- Portland, on- the
following day.
. He did- not arrive. Miss White
waited another day and then com
municated with her parents here
and a search was begun for the
missing boy.
Chlorine Used in City Water.
ASHLAND, Or., Sept. 13. (Spe
cial.) The local water supply Is re
ceiving' much unfavorable comment
at present, due to the large amount
f chlorine it has been found neces
sary to place in the intakes above
the city. Chlorine has been used In
the water continually for the past
year, though it had been cut to a
minimum during the summer months
when the water was low. A recent
test of the water in the creek sup
plying the intake proved the water
nfit, it having been contaminated
by picnickers in the mountains
above the intake. A guard has been
kept for the past few weeks, and
efforts are being made to make a
ermanent job of it, at least during
tne months when hikers visit the
mountains. It has also been Bug
gested that the water shed be en
closed with a fence.
School Day to Be Observed.
ALBANT, Or., Sept. 13. (Special.)
Friday, October 6, will be school
day at the Linn county fair,- it was
announced here today by Mrs. Edna
eer, county superintendent, who Is
sending out details to the rural
schools relative to the school ex
hibit. On the premium list there
will be three school room exhibits,
two collections of art work and 33
individual exhibits for pupils, in
cluding every phase of work from
mechanical drawing to poultry and
vegetables. The exhibits are divided
into two classes, one for children
nder 12 years of age and one for
those over 12 years.
ARTICLE II.
PUGET SOUND BUREAU, Seattle,
Wash., Sept. 13. Seattle, like most
cities of size, has wrestled wlth-many
civic problems. Sometimes the solu
tion has been reached with practical
unanimity of public opinion. More
often there has been a well-marked
division of sentiment, with a distinct
line up on either side of the ques
tion and an ultimate decision in ac
cord with the will of the majority.
Seattle's municipal street railway
problem is like none of the prob
lems that have gone before and
been disposed of. There is unanimity
cf opinion only as to this that the
city must have street car service
and that present fares are too high
for comfort, unanimity ends right
there. It would be difficult to find
two persons in the city who agree,
point for point, on any course that
might be followed to a right con
clusion. The mayor and the nine
members of the city council, the su
perintendent of city utilities- and
the superintendent of the street
railway system, are all at variance
In large and in detail; and the dif
ferences that radiate out from the
city hall are broken up, scattered
and diffused among the people like
the suns rays striking through a
prism of innumerable facets.
Contract Held "Impossible."
On one point, somewhat apart
from the immediate questions of
service and fares, and getting back
to the beginnings of this municipal
enterprise, there Is tendency toward
agreement of a vague sort. This
tendency gets encouragement from
every city official who has no sug
gestion to offer for instant applica
tion. Mayor Caldwell, who pre
ceded Mayor Brown as the city's
ch'ef executive, pronounced the con
tract under which the system was
purchased an "impossible contract."
What Mr. Caldwell meant, and what
13 in the minds of the many who
have since made use of the phrase,'
is that the contract is one whose
trims the city cannot possibly ful
fill. At some time, in every official
and informal discussion of the street
railway problem the words "Impos
sible contract" are bound to recur;
and the conclusion is seldom, if
ever, disputed.
Usually when a thing is rec
ognized as impossible that settles
it. There are no degrees of impos
sibility. It can be done, in whole or
in part, or it cannot be done at all.
Contrary to the general rule, the
impossibility of Seattle's street rail
way contract is subject to varying
Interpretations; whereas, the fact is
that at the 8 1-3-eent fare the city
Is finding it possible to meet all
the obligations of the system.
Money for Extensions Lacking.
But it has not been found possible
at this rate of fare to draw upon
street railway revenues for any- con
siderable cost for extensions or bet
terments of the system, for new
equipment, for enlarged service, for
more help or higher pay.. The possi
bility of the contract seems estab
lished In the fact that the city is
getting by under its terms. Its im
possibility lies in Its . inhibition
against all those things that city of
ficials would like to do in the way of
lower fares and improved service.
To understand this contract and
tha conditions under which it was
made calls for brief reference to
past events. Seattle's street railway
system resulted from a consolida
tion of separately-owned and scat
tered lines, a general connecting up
and the building of many extensions.
All this was accomplished by the Se
attle Electric company, later the
Puget Sound Traction, Light &
Power company, controlled by Stone
& Webster of Boston. Under the
terms of its franchise this .private
corporation was held to the 5-cent
fare; it paid the cost of paving be
tween and on both sides of all its
tracks, and 2 per cent of Its gross
receipts went annually into the city
treasury. On top of this, of course.
it paid all the usual taxes on its
properties at steadily increasing
rates.
Purchase Wartime, Venture.
Seattle's activity in shipbuilding
and allied Industries during the war
created a new and concentrated de
mand for increased car service. The
corporation sought concessions that
might enable it to meet this de
mand; bat the city council held it
strictly to Its franchise terms, re
fusing to permit any Increase of
fares or to grant relief from any
enaction or requirement. Shipbuild
ing concerns, and the large body of
organized labor connected with the
shipyards grew insistent and noisy,
In their demands for more service.
Representatives of the emergency
fleet corporation came out from
Washington and, after looking over
the situation, declared that unless
better service could be given to and
from the local yards they would rec
ommend that no more contracts be
awarded to Seattle shipbuilders. The
city council would not yield an inch
to the street car corporation, and
the corporation stood pat with the
declaration that it was doing all that
could be done in the circumstances.
$15,000,000 Agreed On.
Here seemed to be a crisis and a
deadlock. It was at this juncture.
In the fall of 1918, that Ole Hanson,
then mayor of Seattle, advanced the
suggestion that the city buy the
railway system. Negotiations moved
rapidly. In the course of a few weeks

the price of $15,000,000 had been
tentatively agreed upon. It was said
to be a shading from a then recent
valuation" of the property to be pur
chased, a valuation, of something
over $18,000,000. Payment was to be
made in utility bonds, secured by the
earnings of the system.' ,
There is no requirement of law
that a utility bond issue must be
submitted to vote of the people. The
mayor and council might have closed
the deal." But the general election
of November was close at hancC and
it was decided to let the people vote
on the proposal, with the under
standing that this was merely a tet
of public sentiment and not neces
sarily binding on city officials. The
November vote favored the purchase
in the ratio of four to one.

the armistice of November 11 might
have been taken to indicate that

of- local street car lines. But the
thought, here as elsewhere, was to
retain the war-time industrial pop
ulation. For the time .being the end
o; the war made no difference
whatever in the community outlook.
The people had authorized the pur
chase, and the deal was pressed
through to a conclusion. The formal
transfer of the system from the
Stone & Webster interests to "the
city took place at midnight March
31, 1919, and the city started operat
ing Its new property bright and
early on the morning of April 1.
City hall and newspaper humorists
made note of the fact that it was
all-fools day.
Councilman Opposes Purchase.
The council had passed the ordi
nances necessary to closing the pur
chase, the issuance of the $15,000,000
in utility bonds in payment, and for
contract with, the Stone & Web
ster corporation to furnish all the
power needed for operation. There
was but one negative vote in the
council on these ordinances. This
vote was cast by Oliver T. Erickson,
long known as "the father of mu
nicipal ownership" -in Seattle, a
councilman whose whole public ca
reer had been devoted to antagonism
of public service corporations. Pur
chase of the system at the price, on
the terms, and in the manner of this
deal, was contrary to all his beliefs:
Mr. Erickson stood alone in opposi
tion. There are many persons in
Seattle today who think that he was
right.

Rebuilding of Hammond Mill at

ASTORIA, Or., Sept. 13. (Spe

ment regarding the rebuilding of
the Hammond Lumber dompany's
mill here, which was destroyed by
fire last Monday night. Is anticipat

about next Friday, a telegram re

operations will be continued here.
The dispatch, which was dated at
San Francisco, said: "Concerning the
loss of our Astoria mill and plans
for the future, Mr. Rankin and I
will leave for home this afternoon,
having conferred with Mr. Ham
mond. As you can well understand,
the fire has dislocated our plans
very much.. The first thing nec

we hope will justify the resump

SEEKERS AFTER BUSINESS
SITES IN CITY AUTO PARK
Many Tourists Study Opportunities Offered by Portland, With
View to Staying Here.
BY ADDISON BENNETT.
A WELL-LOADED car from
Vancouver, B. C. has ar
rived at the grounds. The
travelers are E. Hamburg, a
baker, and B. Gonnarson, a lumber
dealer. With them were Misses I.
and Lusier Gonnarson. They left
their home September 8, took the
ferry to Anacortes, thence down the
peninsula and down here, and a side
trip over the Columbia river high
way. From hero they will go -back
to their homes, seemingly much
pleased with, their trip.
From Oakland, Cal., we have
Ernest Brooks and wife, on a return
trip, as they stopped at the park in
July. Since then they have been
driving around the west, getting as
far east as Butte, Mont. Mr. Brooks
is a real estate operator.
m
George L. Corrington and wife
arrived from Pasadena, CaL, where
Mr. C has been engaged in the
grocery business. They left Pasa
dena July 1 and have been looking
over various cities up and down the
coast. They are now casting their
eyes over Portland and will be In
vestigating for several days. It may
look good enough for them to re
main here permanently. We all
ought to hope so, for they are ap
parently a very fine family.
C. L. Wyler has for several years
been In the movie business at San
Antonio, the Texas metropolis.
Along last spring he sold his show
and then he and his wife concluded
they had a rest coming, and that
they would , lay off for a year.
About the first of July the wander
lust struck them, so they hitched
up their machine and started up the
coast to see what openings there
were in the big cities. Upon reach
ing Portland they settled down to
take a general view of the movie
situation, and they are apparently
so well pleased that they may cut
their year short and remain here.
"Has anybody seen Smith?" I
mean Smith, P. G. Smith of San
Diego, Cal. A cry was sent Into
the camp for him and finally I
found him over in the tall timber
near the center .of the camp, where
he was assisting Mrs. Smith with
the "house work." He has been
engaged in selling books, pens,
writing paper, etc., and is thinking
very seriously of stopping here, if
he can get a job, and 5fie call was
probably for that purpose. They
like Portland and will more than
likely become "one of us."
K. B. Person and Ralph L. Grable, i
both railroad men, are here from
Wichita, Kan., which place they left
August 5. They came via Pueblo,
Denver, Yellowstone park, Spokane
and Walla Walla, thence to Pendle
ton and down the highway. They
operate a Ford speedster that has
seen better days and Is now well
braced with barbed wire. But from
what they say it gets over the road
as well as the eight-cylinder, high
priced cars.
From Nile River, Wash., we have
at the camp a man who Is a sort of
Jack of all trades, George Phillips,
who is out- looking for work and
has apparently caught on in Port
land. He left home early in April
and first went up to Edmonton, Alta.,'
then around by the way of Denver,
up to Spokane and finally here,
where he is very likely to remain.
Walla Walla, Wash., sends us Roe
Painter and wife, with their little
daughter, Carolyn, age 8, and
Phillip, 6. Mr. Painter is a farmer
and he thinks his farm near Walla
Walla is in the best part of the
universe. They have been visiting
at Eugene, then went down to Tilla
mook and are now about ready to
leave, for home.
From the cement works In Polk
county came the chef of the camp
