THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAy, PORTLAND, JUNE 24, 1906.
WEEK OF PROGRESS
IF! BURNED CITY
Money Received on Insurance
Claims Is at Once Reinvest
ed in San Francisco.
RUNS INTO THE MILLIONS
Along All the Streets Running From
Van Xess Avenue to the Terry
Temporary Business Quar
ters Have Been Erected.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 21. (Special
Correspondence.) All In all, the week Just
closing has been the most encouraging In
Ban Francisco since the big disaster.
There has been more in the way of ac
tual progress than in any seven days
since the earthquake.
In the first place, the Insurance com
panies have begun to pay claims on a
big scale. The disbursements of the week
will run far up into the millions'. The
money in nearly every case has been re
invested in San Francisco without delay.
.Old concerns are resuming business as
rapidly as possible.
At tlrst, sites along Fillmore street or
Van Ness avenue were considered indis
pensable to commercial success in the
retail line, but such has been the in
crease in the number of firms resuming
that business has already been extended
Into the burned Bection. Along all of the
streets running from Van Ness to the
ferry, business houses have erected tem
porary quarters.
Of course, active retail business does,
not extend more than a block (in some
cases two blocks) below Van Ness, but
as insurance money is paid, more build
ings go up, and these are pressing into
the burned area.
Army Has Done Good Work.
Another source of encouragement - has
been the decision to place the relief work
tinder one head. The uncertainty as to
the withdrawal of the military has. kept
capital away. Now that it has been ws
itiely decided to turn all the relief work
over to the city authorities July 1, out
siders are showing a disposition to Invest
here. The mere fact that conditions are
euch that the civil authorities can as
sume control has given Kastern people a
different view of the situation.
In some quarters of the Kastern States
reports were still being circulated of
shooting on the streets. While the peo
ple of the city desired n longer contin
uance of military control, they believe
that capable civil control is to be pre
ferred, if It can be attained. The satis
faction with the work of the mllita
has been so great that the people were
afraid that any change must be for the
worse. The system mapped out by Gen
eral Oreely provides for a gradual trans
fer of control, which can he accomplished
without a cessation of the work.
Mililary Is Fighting Files.
Preparatory to its departure, the mili
tary is waging releptless war upon the
city's worst enemy, the house fly. With
the opening of the street restaurants, the
fly pests betame so bad as to be alarm- '
lug. The recurrent ruins served to im
prove the situation, but with a spell of
very hot weather this week the flies have
returned with reinforcements.
Colonel Febiger has organized a fly bri
gade, charged with the special task of
waging war to- the death upon the pests.
The brigade is divided into squads and a
squad is attached to every camp. The
squad consists of three men, who go
about with prepared cloths and drugs
calculated to exterminate the pest. Tne
work so far has been highly successful.
It has been feared that contagion might
by spread by the files.
Throngs Leaving the City.
Despite all the talk to the contrary,
people are still leaving the city. San
Francisco has & diminishing population,
and It Is all for the best. The wives and
daughters, who. In the face of great dan
ger, considered it their duty to remain
with their husbands and fathers, have
now been persuaded that all danger is
past to leave the city for the Summer
resorts.
Every year at this season upward of
100,(00 people leave for the mountains and
seashore. This' year a great throng from
the city has followed the usual custom.
In addition, thousands of families have
removed for the Summer to the towns
about i.ie bay.
All this Is for the best, for these peo
ple will only remain away until the town
Is straightened up, and will then return.
The straightening up can best be accom
plished with all surplus hungry mouths
removed.
Cable Line Resumes Activity.
One of the most encouraging factors of
the week has been the resumption of
business by the Geary-street railway. The
Geary line is a cable road, and is the
first cable line to resume. It is one of
the few independent lines in the city.
The United Railroads, which controls
nine-tenths of the street roads, has not
yet made any attempt to start a cable
line, alleging that the damage done by
the earthquake has made it impossioie.
The more discerning have seen in this
simply a scheme to force1 the city to
grant franchises for overhead trolleys
iwhere the cable now runs.
' .When a few men get together around a
banquet .table, and the wine starts the
springs of goodfellowship. there is likely
to be more said and done than calmer
moments would dictate. At any rate this
"was the case with the gathering In Wash
ington the other day, when the members
of the California delegation. Dr. Devine
of the Red Cross, and President Wheeler,
of the University of California, were the
guests of K. H. Harriman.
Toast to "the Next Governor.,
All concerned were working to secure
Federal aid for California." It was to talk
over the matter that Harriman gave the
little banquet. Harriman sat at one end
of the table, and at the other was Max
well Bvart, his attorney. Evart, in the
course of the dinner, arose, glass In hand,
and said: - v
'I now propose a toast to Congress
man Gillett, the next Governor of Cali
fornia." There was an awkward pause. Then
some one arose. Others followed, and the
toast was drunk.
When the report of this little episode
reached the Coast, there was an Imme
diate uproai in political circles. Gillett
Is an acknowledged candidate for the Re
publican nomination for Governor, but
the committee from California, who were
guests at the banquet, ,had gone as tue
representatives of Governor Pardee, who
is a candidate to succeed himself. iiie
wires have been kept hot between here
and the National capital in an efTort to
get an explanation of the proceeding.
"It was merely a Joke," said Senator
Perkins. "Why. it was a mere Jest," de
clared Senator Flint., Gillett Is somewhat
bewildered. Ho said it did not have the
appearance of a Joke, but If it was one
he doesn't see the point. Some Congress
men will have a merry time making an
acceptable explanation.
Phelan May Kilter the Race.
A. big faction of the Democratic party
has requested James D. Phelan, head of
the finance committee of the relief board,
to make the run for Governor. Phelan
has not yet replied, but It is generally
thought that he will' see his present work
through before turning his attention to
politics.
Wilson Mizner has been In San Fran
cisco this week on business and expects
to remain here some time. Mrs. Mizner
did not accompany her husband to the
Coast, but the voung groom says It was
merely because she was not In good
health. Mizner declares the tales which
have been printed in regard to Quarrels
between his wife and himself are witn
out truth. He has been conspicuous on
the streets of the city in'a suit of laven
der hue, with fingers sparkling with
gems.
RELIEF WORK REORGANIZED
Greely Suggests - Putting Work in
Hands of Police.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 23. The new
commission to take charge of the relief
work and rehabilitation of this city met
today and perfected Its organization.
There were present Dr. Devine, Colonel
George H. Plppy and Edward F. Moran,
Dr. Devine was elected chairman and
Ernest P. Picknell secretary. The com
mission was Joined by Mayor Schmitz
and General Greely and several hours
were spent In discussion of the work to
be 'undertaken.
General Greely was first asked for sug
gestions. He said in the first place each
camp should now be placed In charge
of some man in whom the people have
confidence. He said he thought some of
the captains and lieutenants of police
would make excellent men to put in
charge. There will be necessity, said the
General, to employ some . 500 policeman
to guard the camps and he said some
of the policemen on furlough could thus
be taken.
The Mayor urged upon the commission
the work of rehabilitation and the erec
tion of permanent homes for the people.
Dr. Devine urged the starting of a mu
nicipal loan office to make loans to the
people on security and thus stop the
abuses of the pawnshops. Theee matters
were taken under consideration.
The commission adopted a resolution
continuing the clothing bureau and relief
stations as now conducted. It adopted
the title of the Relief Commission.

License Fight Holds Vp Pay.
TACOMA. Wash., June 23. As a re
sult of the saloon license fight be

no pay July 3. Many licenses are being
held up and the payroll fund is short
about $15,000. Other funds In the city
treasury cannot be touched for this
purpose, and the employes face a very
probable delay in receiving their pay.

HER NECK BROKEN
Berkeley Woman Was Found
Dead In Her Bed.
HUSBAND IS SUSPECTED
Joseph Relchert's Testimony Before
the Coroner's Jury, is Much at
Variance With the First
Story He Told.
BERKELEY, Cal., June 23. That the
death of Mrs. Mary Reichert, who was
found dead in bed at her home at Flem
ings Point, a mile north of this city, was
cauBed by her neck being broken In some
manner unknown, was the sensational tes
timony brought out at an Inquest held by
the Coroner today, and a verdict to that
effect was rendered. After this disclosure,
Sheriff Barnett announced that an arrest
on a murder charge probably would be
made. '
, Joseph Reichert, the woman's husband,
reported to the Coroner's office Thursday
morning that his wife had died during
the night, while he' was away from the
house. Her body was fully dressed when
the Coroner reached the house.
At the inquest Reichert was put through
a rigid cross-examination and made state
ments in conflict with his first story. Dr.
Benton testified that on the morning or
the woman's death he had been called to
attend her by Reichert, who said to him:
"It anything should happen I do not
want to be blamed."
LOCAL- OPTION CASIJ AT EUGENE
Attorneys Argue Before Judge Har
ris of the Circuit Court.
EUGENE, Or., June 23. (Special.) The
Courthouse was lilied at the opening of
the local option case here today, and
many stayed until nearly 7 o'clock, when
District Attorney Brown finished the ar
gument. Bronaugh & Bronaugh opened
the case, alleging that the local option
law and the idugene charter did not con
flict. The former merely gives the peo
ple of a community he right to say
whether or not liquor shall be sold: It
does not try to regulate the trafflc; the
laws are concurrent and the charter pow
ers, which are not exclusive, may be in
voked in the absence of the local option
law. which, when Invoked, simply sets
aside the city provision. Had the inten
tion been to repeal the local option law
In Eugene, the charter act would have
stated the fact plainly. A repeal to be
constitutional miiBt be either clearly
stated or the laws must be absolutely Ir
reconcilable. Woodcock & Hardy contended that the
law and charter were not concurrent.
from the fact that the two powers, the
electorate and the Council, were dele
gated to accomplish the same thing, and
that they -might arrive at exactly op
posite ends. The city charter takes prece
dence over the local option law, because
It was enacted later, and, being repug
nant. It was not necessary that the fact
of repeal be stated. The whole case rests
upon the ground that the power to de
termine prohibition in Kugene has been
vested In two powers which cannot ar
rive at the same end.
Brown closed the argument, contending
that the general -law takes precedence
over the special charter enactments..
Even where it Is plainly stated that the
exclusive power Is with the city, the city
laws will not hold when in conflict with
state laws.. The state could make the
Charter exclusive, but did not in this case,
and it cannot be presumed that this was
the intention of the Legislature, which
passed the Eugene- charter without a
dissenting vote, and yet the 'sentiment
was so strong against anything that
would repeal the local option law that
the Janes bill failed of passage. Judge
Harris will decide the case during the
coming week.
UNIVERSITY SITE CHOSEN.
No Liquor Will Be Sold at Alaska
Yukon Exposition.
SEATTLE, Wash., June 23. (Special.)
The committee of trustees of the Alaska
Yukon Exposition, appointed to choose a
site for the big fair of lSjfiS, today unani
mously selected the campus of the State
University. The next Legislature will be
asked to permit the use of these grounds,
upon the understanding that they be im
proved In such a manner as to enable
their permanent use and that such build
ings as can be saved be turned over to
the university after the close of the ex
position. Either the state law will have to be
changed or the exposition will be a "dry"
affair, for the law refuses permission
to sell liquors within two miles of a
state educational institution. The exposi
tion directorate, however, believes that

Residents of "One Corner of Baker
County Have No Place to Vote.
BAKER CITY. Or., June 23. (Special.)
Over in the corner of Baker County, ad
joining Malheur County, there Is a parcel
of land where- the residents have neither
road district, school district nor voting
precinct. They cannot vote and for many
years they paid no taxes. The people do
not know whether they are in Malheur or
Baker. County, and perhaps they do not
care, but they are in Baker County.
This peculiar situation arose from the
carving out of Malheur County. There
was a corner of the county where the di
viding lines overlapped, and the land in
this corner was never taxed until 1900.
when Mr. Wisdom went into the Asses
sor's office. He consulted with County
Engineer Foster and decided that the land
was In Baker Cotfnty. and proceeded to
assess what was patented. Since that
time taxes on 1400 acres belonging to the
Eastern Oregon Land Company have been
paid to Baker County.
Recently timber men have been locating
on it,, and have designated it as being in
Baker County, but when it comes to vot
ing they cannot cast ballots in either
county.

Hit Floating Target at Six Miles.
ASTORIA. Or., June 23. Opecial.) The
principal target practice of the present
season at Fort Stevens took place yes
terday, the 10-inch guns, being used with
full service charges and steel projectiles.
Soon after the tide started to ebb, a
floating target with a 12-foot base and
12 feet In height was set adrift, and when
it was about six miles from the fort the
shooting began. Within six minutes four
shots were fired, one from each of the
big guns, and although the target was
not visible to the naked eye, every shot
was recorded as "dangerous" and one of
them destroyed the target.

CLOSING MORE SHINGLE MILLS
Fifty Per Cent of Output Will Prob
ably Be Cut Off by Monday.
SEATTLE, Wash., June 2S. (Special.)
Shlngleweavers have closed addition
al mills, manufacturing about 1,500,000
shingles and are expected by the mill
owners -to add to this number Sunday.
The less optimistic manufacturers be
lieve y per cent of the shingle output
will be represented by mills closed by
the 'strike committee by the first of
next week.
Reports from Independent sources In
dicate this is as nearly correct an es
timate as could be made until the de
tailed reports are received early next
week. The isolated character of many
of the mills makes It Impossible for

strike promptly or for the Shingle
Mills Bureau to gather reports of the
fight.

Warehouse Blocks Main Street.
ECHO. Or.. June 23. (Special.) Citizens
of this place resent the lease by the O.

merously signed has been sent in to the
railroad authorities protesting against the
lease. The town has grown so that the
