The engineers who failed to get the Job
of planning the Port of Portland drydock
are still hot on the trail of the commis
sion. Faber. du Four & Donnelly Is their
business title. In response to the rea
sons given by the commission for reject
ing their plans, printed nearly three weeks
ago, they have written to The Oregonlan.
The two chief reasons were, first that
these engineers had agreed to
furnish plana for a compensa
tion of 5 per cent of the
coat of the dock, and at the last momont
had sprung the Information that the com
mission would have to buy royalties from
the patentees of the dock; and second,
that after this difficulty had been smooth
ed over, although the engineers guaran
teed the success of their dock, they would
not back up their guarantee witn a suf
ficient bond.
The engineers request The Oregonlan to
print a letter written to them by the
commission April 19, 190L The only part
of the letter that bears on the dispute is
the following:
"As to our position, we arc prepared to
construct and guarantee the satisfactory
operation of a sectional drydock of any
desired commercial capacity, under pat
ents granted to Fred C. Lang."
This letter was mislaid Jn a pile or
papers and did not get to the notice of
the commission until after Mr. Donnelly's
arrival In Portland, In December. But as
Mr. Banfield, president of the commission,
said yesterday, this fact was of no con
sequence In the negotiations. Mr. Don
nelly was willing to "guarantee," but was
not willing to substantiate the guarantee
with a large enough bond. He was will
ing to furnish plans for the dock under
certain natrnts. but he failed to inform
the commission that royalties would be
collected on the patents. The commission
naturally inferred the patents went with
the plans. Inasmuch as Mr. Lang, owner
of the patents, wrote the commission that
Donnelly was his representative In all
dealings.
These engineers hae notified the com
mission that suit for damages will bp
brought against the Port of Portlano. if
the dock Is built according to r-'-ans
adopted, for Infringements upon Lang
patents. The threat has not yet perturb
ed the commission.
FIRST MILK PLANT IN STATE
Big: ComleuHingr Factory "Will Be
Built at Forest Grove.
Oregon will have Its first condensed milk
plant at Forest Grove. The factory will
cost between $40,000 and 550,000 to estab
lish and equip. "When its work Is thor
oughly under way It will be the means
of distributing between $30,000 and 540.000
a month among the farmers of Washing
ton County.
Citizens of Forest Grove have given five
acres to the enterprise, at the railroad
station. They have agreed also to .lay an
eight-Inch suction pipe from the factory
to the creek in order to supply the plant
bounteously with water. They will fur
nish, further, gravel and sand to the value
of $150. The foundations of the structure
will be rock and cement, and the building
material will probably be brick. The
building will be about 100 by 120 feet at
the base. The machinery of the plant will
cost between $25,000 and $30,000.
Farmers have agreed to supply 20,000
pounds of milk daily. The Intention Is
within a year to Increase the dally con
sumption of milk to 0,000 pounds.
The promoter of the enterprise 13 the
Pacific Coast Condensed Milk Company,
of Kent, Wash. This company already
has a factory at that place. It will mar
ket the product of Its- Forest Grove fac
tory all over the Pacific Coast, and also
In Alaska. where there Is' a good demand
for condensed milk. This .enterprise will
mark an important step In the progress
of dairying In Oregon.
