THE SUNDAY OKEGONIAN, PORTLAND, JANUARY 18, 1903. 11 RESCUED IN MiDOCEAN CREW TAKEN FROM DISABLED XORWBGIAN STEA3ISHIP. Am the Vessel Was a. Menace to Xav iBation She Was Sent .to the Bottom. NEW YORK, Jan. 17. The steamship Pennsylvania, of the Hamburg-American Line, which arrived today from Hamburg, brought into port 13 distressed seamen, who were taken off the disabled Norwe gian steamer Slggen. January 15, three days after she met the St. Louis, the Pennsylvania fell in with the Siggen lying helpless in the trough of the sea and flying signals of distress. The captain of the Siggen asked to be taken off, and with his crew came on board the Pennsylvania. The captain said the Siggen sailed from Sydney, C. B., January 7. On the 10th she lost her propeller, and, as the weath er was tempestuous, the craft became un manageable. After drifting 160 miles oft shore during a period of five days, in which time five steamers were sighted and signalled without reply, the Pennsylvania hove in sight. As the Siggen was deeply laden and a dangerous menace to naviga tion, and there appeared no possibility of towing her into port, the seacocks were opened, and there is no doubt she went to the bottom. IT WAS RECORD PASSAGE. Texnn Lowered the Time Prom Xem York to San ITrancisco Nine Days. The passage of the steamer Texan, 46 days and 17 hours from New York to San Francisco, mentioned a few days ago, is a new record for the run. The best pre vious time was 55 days, made by the Bteamer California of the same line. The best day's run of the Texan on the long trip of 13,134 knots was on January 5, when she logged 306 miles, an average of 12.68 knots an 'hour, though the big steam er was not Intended to do better than 10.5 knots. An average of 11.71 knots was made during the entire steaming time. Chief Engineer MacVicar says the Texan is the steadiest vessel he has ever been in, there being no vibration, and all con ditions being entirely satisfactory. The Texan brought around a large quantity of freight for Portland. Cargo of the Hutton Hall. The British ship Hutton Hall, from Newcastlc-on-Tyne, is still at anchor in the river, waiting for an opening at one of the docks. The ship brings an assort ed cargo, consisting of 23G0 casks of ce ment, 922 tons of plglron, 200 barrels and 100 casks of fire clay, 182,833 fire bricks, 103 tons of coke, 100 drums of caustic soda, 2 bales of canvas. 5S cases of ink, 50 bar rels of oakum and two old clocks. The Riversdale, at Greenwich dock No. 2, is discharging cement packed in patent barrels. Heretofore all cement reaching this part has come in ordinary wooden casks. This lot Is put up in iron cylinders, with wooden heads. It appears to be a successful experiment. The cargo ship Foyledale Is discharging Iron fish plates on a barge alongside Mer sey dock. Astorlu Marine Xotcs. ASTORIA, Or.. Jan. 17. (Speclal.)-Tho French ship Surcouf, while on her way down the river, anchored at Brookfield over last night, and while dropping her anchor she lost it and 30 fathoms of chain. Her captain has let a contract for its re covers', and he cannot go to sea until it is recovered or another secured. Inspectors Edwards and Fuller were in Astoria today and Inspected the steamer George R. Vosburg. Additional flour was added to the cargo of the British ship Glenesslln today to take the place of that damaged by the recent fire on board. Captain Prltchard went to Portland this evening to settle up the business affairs of the vessel, and she should be ready to go to sea Monday. The steamers Hassalo and Homer were in collision here this morning at the O. R. &. N. wharf. The anchor hanging from the bow of the Homer raker the side of the Hassalo, but dlcLnot do much damage. Enjoined From Seizing: Steamship. TACOMA, Jan. 17. The Northern Pa cific Steamship Company sued out an in junction in the Superior Court today re straining Pierce County from seizing the steamship Tacoma for back taxes, amounting to about 51400. The writ is re turnable next Tuesday. Lack of jurisdic tion, illegality of the tax and other things are among the grounds assigned as the basis for asking the Injunction. Cannot Land at Panama. PANAMA, Colombia, Jan. 17. The Board of Health has decided that the Pa cific Mall Steamship Company's steamer Acapulco, from San Francisco, December 20, and Acapulco, Mexico, January 4, will not be allowed to land passengers or car go here. She is now taking coal on board, and will sail for San Francisco. Overdue Steamers Sighted. NEW YORK, Jan. 17. The steamer Phil adelphia, from Southampton, was report ed 27 miles east of Nantucket lightship at noon today. The steamer Cymric, from Liverpool, was reported off Nantucket lightship at 11:15 A. M. Takes Amcricnn Line Passengers. SOUTHAMPTON, Jan. 17. The steamer Minneapolis, from London, sailed from here today, taking passengers of the American Line's booking for New York, as that line has no regular steamer leav ing this port today. Marine Notes. The Daniel finished loading wheat at Montgomery dock last night, and will drop into the stream today. The steamship Elleric completed her Manila lumber cargo at Victoria dock, and will probably start down the river this morning. The upper Willamette has been falling lately, but is still at a boating stage. Should the river drop much more, how ever, it will interfere with navigation. The Jean Bart has cleared for Queens town of Falmouth for orders with 28,933 bushels of wheat, worth 529,245, and 23.630 bushels of barley, worth 547.3S0. The ship pers are the Portland Flouring Mills. The Wlscombe Park moved from the Southern Pacific dock to Columbia No. 2, the Norma from Columbia No. 1 to Vic toria, and the Martha Rous from the El evator to Victoria. The turret steamship Elm Branch, un der charter to the Pacific Export Lumber Company to carry lumber from Portland to Port Arthur, arrived at San Francisco Thursday, 35 days from Newcastle, with a cargo of coal.

The members of the South Portland Im provement Association feel that the ap pointment of two active workers of their organization, William FHedner and Joseph Wober. to the executive committee has attained the object long desired bv the people of that part of town better rep resentation on the important boards of the city. At the meeting of the associa tion last evening, both men were oresent and hearty congratulations were extended to them. Having obtained something for which they had long been working, the next step was the enlargement of the or ganization so that the opportunity could be better improved. Every member pledged himself to secure at least one new mem ber for the association to start the new year by working more arduously for the improvement of their section of the city. A small deficit In the treasury was quickly settled by the members paying advance dues and the aasoclatlon began the second year of Ita existence free of debts. It was the intention to hold the election of officers last evening, but the slim at tendance forced the postponement until the next regular meeting which will occur on January 3L In the absence of the president. Judge J. F. Caples, Dr. W. H. Saylor presided. The secretary. A. H. McGowan, was asked how manv standlnjr committees were on the list. Fourteen were reported and William Flledner, hearing of several that had never made a report throughout the year, such as the committee on high ways and boulevards, and another on san itation and health, naturally asked why one on foreign relations was not added. It was decided to give notice that the constitution would be eo changed that only one committee, the executive, should do the work supposed to be performed by a number. Following the example of other parts of the city, a committee from the associa tion, representing South Portland, will wait upon the Board of Education at Its next meeting to urge the needs of their school for an addition. J. H. Middleton, V. K. Strode and W. M. Gregory consti tute this committee. The question of filling the gulches could not be forgotten, and Mr. Flledner had eome pronounced views on the subject. "That Is something wMIch must be agi tated until the conditions are relieved," said he. "Cato never finished an addfcea without saying 'Carthage must be de stroyed and we should do the same in this association." The question of giving the secretary a salary, together with the change in the constitution and the election of officers, was laid over until the next meeting. ROAD UP FRAZER VALLEY Grent Northern Making Extensive Encroachments on C. P. R. R. VANCOUVER. B. C. Jan. 17. rStvrln! The Great Northern Railway has made anotner entry into Canadian Pacific ter ritory, which the latter will not roimrH with favor. An important programme has Been mapped out for railway building around New Westminster and Vancouver, with connection with Victoria, It is as follows: A line from Vancouver to New West minster, about 12 miles. From Westminster to Chilliwack, about 20 miles. From Liverpool, opposite Westminster, to Ladner, 14 miles. From Ladner to the Great Northern line at Cloverdale, IE miles. From Ladner, or Port Guichon, just be low It, the ferry steamer Victorian will connect with Sydney, on Vancouver Island, from whence Is rail connection to Vic toria, said line really belonging to the Great Northern. This is a bold stroke on the part of James J. Hill to capture the yearly in creasing trade of the Fraser Valley, which the Canadian Pacific Railroad has not really been able to handle because its line is on the wrong side of the Fraser River. The Great Northern is now about to push spurs all through the country on the south side of the great salmon stream. Its advent has been gladly welcomed by the farmers, especially in what is called the Delta, through which rich district the line from Ladner to Cloverdale is to pass. The surveyors are now thfere and farm ers are gladly offering right of way to have the railway pass near their lands. The .construction work of the various lines Is in the hands of the well-known St Paul firm of Guthrie & Ffoliett, the men who built the Kaslo & Slocan Hall way, that marvel of engineering in the silver-lead country, which, Is part of the Great Northern system. It Is believed that they will open offices at Liverpool, from where the one office staff can handle the business of construction radiating to Vancouver, Chilliwack and Ladner. The New Westminster Council has granted leases of waterfront at the Royal City, while the Great Northern has bought from private people at Port Guichon a good deal of water front. At the latter point will be built wharves and offices to ac commodate the ferry business to Van couver Island. Construction work will, it is expected begin within the next month and the lines will easily be in operation by the Summer. Believes in Civil Service. . PORTLAND. Jan. 17. (To the Editor.) In quoting me this morning us saying that "the members of the Civil Service Com mission being appointed by the Mayor will not be likely to be severe in their treatment of men whom the Mayor has already appointed to office." your reporter pretty nearly reversed what I actually said, namely, that we had a right to pre sume that the Civil Service Commission, enforcing the law in good faith, according to its spirit, would conduct the examina tions so as to give the temporary ap pointees an exactly fair and equal chance on their merits with everybody else, ex cept that long service will, and ought to, be of advantage In passing an examina tion made of practical application to the duties of the office, as the charter directs them to ho. The matter as to my opinion is perhaps not of great public importance,- but one likes to be quoted correctly, if at all; and I am on the wrong side to be making a mock of civil service reform this year. Moreover, let me say, in all sincerity, I honestly believe in the principles of civil service reform, fairly and intelligently ap plied. RICHARD W. MONTAGUE. To Review Adams' Speech. At the next meeting of Lincoln-Garfield Post, G. A. R., Tuesday evening, Janu ary 20, Major T. C. Bell will review Charles Francis Adams' speech, in which he advocated the erection of a monument in honor of General Robert E. Lee. AH members of the G. A. R. will be cordially welcomed. CARD OF THANKS. I desire to thank the many friends and societies for all kindness and courtesies extended during my recent bereavement. LENA W. CHAMBERS. POWtRS OF REFERENDUM VOICE OF PEOPLE DECLARED SU PERIOR TO COURTS. An "Emergency Clause" Will "Sot Give Constitutionality to Legis lative Enactment. PORTLAND, Jan. 17. (To the Editor.) In this morning's Oregonlan there Is a dispatch from Salem setting forth that in the decision of the State vs. Bacon, the Supreme Court of South Dakota had ren dered a decision which Is an authority for the position that the initiative and refer endum amendment to the Oregon consti tution does not deprive the Legislature of the power to put an "emergency clause" on any bill, and thus cause the bill to be come a law, as declared by the Legisla ture. It is contended that the Legisla ture still has the power by a simple "emergency clause" declaring In any bill that an emergency exists, and that it is "necessary for the immediate preserva tion of the public peace or health or safety" for the bill to become a law from and after its approval by the Governor, and the bill does become a law on Its ap proval by the Governor. In effect the contention is, that the ref erendum "part of the constitutional amend ment can be arbitrarily rendered nugatory by the joint action of the Legislature and the courts of the state. It must be con ceded" that the courts of Oregon have the power to decide that the Legislature has this arbitrary power, and the decision of the courts will be binding until reversed by the courts or by the people of the State of Oregon under the Initiative power. Will the courts of Oregon decide the question against the clear meaning of the words in the constitution of Oregon? No. Will not the courts of Oregon realize that the Initiative part of the amendment to the constitution of Oregon gives the ma jority of the voters the power to reverse the courts of Oregon, and will not this cause the courts of Oregon to be careful that they do not violate the plain meaning of words used In the constitution of Ore gon and the plain rules of logic? Yes. In other words, it behooves everybody in the State of Oregon to awake to the fact that the people of Oregon, wisely or un wisely., have revolutionized the constitu tion of Oregon by adopting the inltlatlvo and referendum amendment. The Oregon amendment provides: "The Legislative authority of the state shall be vested in a Legislative Assembly, consisting of a Senate and House of Representatives, but the people reserve to themselves power to propose laws and amendments to the con stitution, and to enact or reject the same at the polls, independent of the Legislative Assembly, and also reserve the power at their own option to approve or reject at the polls any act of the Legislative As sembly." "The second power is the ref erendum, and it may be ordered (except as to laws necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health or safety), either by petition, signed by five per cent of the legal voters, or by the Legislative Assembly, as other bills are enacted. Referendum petitions shall be filed with the Secretary of State not more than 90 days after the final adjournment of the -session of the Legislative Assembly which passed the bill on which the refer endum Is demanded. The veto power of the Governor shall not extend to meas ures referred to the people. All elections In measures referred to the people of the state shall be had at the biennial regular general elections, except when the Legis lative Assembly shall order a special elec tion. Any measure referred to the people shall take effect and become the law when It Is approved by the majority of the votes cast thereon, and not otherwise." This is the supreme law of Oregon, and In It the people reserve the power to pass on all bills (except as to laws necessary for the Immediate preservation of the pub lic peace, health or safety). Power is not given by the constitution of Oregon to the Legislature to decide when a bill is "necessary for the Immediate preserva tion of the public peace, health or safety." That Is a judicial question. Judicial ques tions are decided by the courts. Under the initiative power, the people can over turn the decision of the courts of Oregon on the question when laws go Into effect. Under the emergency clause of our con stitution the constitution empowered the Legislature to decide whether an emer gency existed or not, and the decision of the Legislature, being authorized by the constitution, was binding on the courts. But the initiative and referendum amend ment of Oregon is entirely different. Un der It the referendum power Is reserved to the people. The case of the State vs. Bacon, from South Dakota. Is a decision under an initiative and referendum amendment very different from tlyit of Oregon. The South Dakota initiative and referendum only gives limited power to the people of South Dakota. It gives power to the Legislature of South Dakota to render the initiative and referendum amendment powerless. The South Dakota amendment is as follows: The legislative power of the state shall be vested In a Legislature, which shall consist of a Senate and a House of Representatives, ex cept that the people expressly reservo to them selves the right to propose measures, which measures the Legislature shall enact and sub mit to a vote of the electors of the state, and also tin right to require thai any laws which the Legislature may have enacted shall be submitted to a vote of the electors of the state before eolng Into effect, except such laws as may be necessary for the Immediate preserva tion of the public peace, health or. safety, sup port of the state government and Its existing public Institutions; provided, that not more than 5 per centum of the qualified electors of the state shall be required to Invoke either the Initiative or the referendum. This section shall not be construed so as to deprive the Legislature, or any member thereof, of the right to propose any measure. The veto power of the executive shall not be exercised as to measures referred to a vote of the people. This section shall apply to municipalities. The en acting clause of all laws approved by vote of the electors of the state shall be, "Be It en acted by the people of South Dakota." The Legislature shall make suitable provisions for the carrying into effect of tne provisions of this section. The Supreme Court of South Dakota in State vs. Bacon says: "The right to re quire any law that has taken effect or Is In force to be submitted. Is not reserved." In Oregon the people "also reserve power at their own option to approve or reject at the polls any act of the Legislative Assembly." Express provision is made In the Oregon amendment for carrying out the powers reserved to the people by the amendment without any help from the Legislature of Oregon. The South Da kota constitution is so dissimilar that the decision is not a safe authority on the proper construction of the Oregon consti tution. The force of the decision In South Da kota is weakened by the following apol ogy from the opinion of the court for its decision: This view Is further strengthened by the fact that the Legislature of 1809, in which were several members who constituted a part of the Legislature of 1897 which proposed the amend ment, and who came direct from the people who had adopted the samp, as well as the Legislature of 1901, have continued to act un der the provisions of section 22. and very near ly. If not quite, half of the laws passed at those two sessions were passed with the emer gency clause. In which It was declared the laws 6hould be In force and effect from and after their passage and approval. Both the former and present Governor have approved the acts so passed, and the other executive officers of the state have assumed. In their official actions, that these laws were In force from and after their passage and approval. Large amounts of money nave been audited by the State Auditor and paid out by the State Treasurer upon the theory that the laws so passed with an emergency clause went Into effect when approved by the Governor. This court. In Bank vs. Reeves, 13 S. D., 103, 82 N. W., 751, In passing upon the wolf bounty act. held that the act took effect from and after Its approval by the Governor, and Issued Its mandate requiring the Auditor to disburse several thousand dollars appropriated therefor prior to the time that the law would ordinarily take effect. It Is true. In that case the question was not raised by either party; but the fact that 1 was not either raised by the parties or suggested by the court tend3 to show how generally the understanding pre vailed that the provisions ofwsectlon 22 re mained In full force and effect! Undoubtedly, too, many very Important transactions through out the state have been made upon the theory that the laws containing the emergency clause went Into effect Immediately. To hold that only laws which come within the exception specified In article 1. as amended, are In force until the expiration of 90 days after the ad journment of the Legislature would have the effect of annulling many business transactions, subjecting many parties to liability to actions for moneys paid out In good faith, and would otherwise affect and disturb to an unknown extent the business and transactions of public officers and private persons within the state. A court would only be Justified In so holding In a case where the constitutional provisions were so clear and mandatory that no other conclusion could be reached. RALPH R. DUNIWAY. ; s CAN NOT IMPROVE CATTLE Tltoronghhrcd Stock Rnnnlng "Wild Itapfdly Deteriorates. "If a herd of thoroughbred cattle should be turned loose on the range, It would only be a matter of a few years until the herd had deteriorated into average ani mals again." Henry Irwin, of La Fayette, who ships as many cattle as any man in Oregon, thinks that it is not possible to Improve the quality of the animal herds at large. "The thoroughbred animal," he said yes terday, at the Perkins, "is only the origi nal scrub stock improved by care and principally by good feeding. You can take a wild rose bush, and by careful cultivation you can in time obtain magnifi cent roses from this stock. But let the cultivation and the care cease, and the plant will at once commence a downward career. Cattle are the same, and that is why It will always be impossible for the big stockmen to raise thoroughbred ani mals on the ranges. "The livestock convention which meets In Portland in 1004," continued Mr. Irwin, "will be a very' good thing for tho state and for Portland. Its value does not He In tho fact that a few hundred extra vis itors will stop at the local hotels during the convention, and so spend some money In the city, and I am sorry to see this side of the matter spoken of at all.
