GENERAL JOGELYN IS E GRAB PUN IF T TTT Srs7 TTi fTh TT tTl if AT Si A WEEK e it i it - u h ii u n t ii OFWHARF OWNERS MADE WEL GUM iai cm w ii n ii ir r?i v m s J Could Dredge With $2000, but Want Public to Give Channel Free. ARE PLAYING FOR GRAFT Scheme Would Annex Harbor Area to Private Properties, Increas ing Tlieir Value, Without Compensation to Port. Though the small sum of $i000 would pay for a -'2-foot channel in front of the wharf property of Allen & Lewis, J. C. Flanders, the Portland Gas Company and the O. R. & N., between the Burnside and Steel bridges, on the west side of the river, those owners want the port and the United States to give them additional Irontage to deep water, worth at least J500.000. This JI-WO cost is the estynate of the Port of Portland engineer, made in re sponse to a request from Colonel Roess ler. United States Engineers, for informa tion on that subject. The expenditure of that sum would deepen the channel some ten feet some 40 feet outside the present harbor line to the new line sought by the owners this being the area which the owners seek to take from the harbor and add to their wharves and warehouses. Colonel Koessler in Way., The grant will be opposed by Colonel Roessler unless the owners shall advance stronger reasons for it than they have done thus far. He declines yet to express his iinal judgment of the matter, but it is evident that his unwillingness to see the harbor narrowed has not been overcome. Major Iangtitt, Colonel Roessler's prede cessor, opposed an 80 and 90-foot extension of the line, and the smaller areais sought by the owners as a compromise. This compromise was represented to the Port of Portland Commission as approved by Colonel Koessler. On this assurance, the Commission last Thursday recom mended it for adoption. But it turns out that the 40-foot extension is not approved by him and that he suggested it only tentatively, for tho purpose of discussion, meaning that further extension would not be considered. His letters to the Port of Portland Commission, the Pilots' As sociation and the owners, written last June and July, set forth clearly that he did not commit himself to the 40-foot line, but they have been misinterpreted by the interested parties, who, led by Mr. Ad ams, represented to the pilots and the Commission that Colonel Roessler favored the compromise line. Surprise in Commission. Colonel Roessler's letter to the Com mission was not before that body Thurs day when it made Its recommendation, nor could it be found yesterday when" called for by members of- the Commis sion. They expressed surprise yesterday that th-;y had been misinformed of the attitude of the United States Engineers. John Drtscoll, one of them. Bald that e would look hdo the matter further next week, intimating that the airing it had received had opened his eyes. ' ' When Colonel Roessler brought to the attention of the gas company that the 40-fopt line would be the extreme "ex tension that could be considered, J. N. Teal,- attorney for that company and for Allen & Lewis, asked for 60 feet, saying that much was required. Formerly the gas company asked for 00 feet. Mr. Teal has been active, and, with C. F. Adams, who Is president of the company and a member- of the Port Commission, Is pro moting the 40-foot line. ' Private Properties Would Profit. The extension would make considerable Increase to the area of the wharves and warehouses of the owners. This increase would be highly prized anywhere on the river, because wharves are badly cramped for room. The extension would also spare the owners the expense of dredg ing channel, in front of the wharves, which must be done before they can re ceive large ships. . But' tho other wharf owners, Instead of extending tho harbor line to deep water, have bronght deep water to their wharves : by dredging at their own ex pense and the outlay has been found hlgbly profitable in Increasing the value of. .-their holdings. Inman, -Poulson & Co. dredged a'channol to their sawmill and so have the Portland Flouring Mills in front, of their Albina mill and their elevator dock. The North Pacific Lum ber Company has done the same 'on its sawmill in North Portland. Thero are many owners, especially on the Hast Side, whose harbor lino Is considerably Inshore of the main course of the river. All of these have as much right to extension of the harbor line to deep water as have the owners on the West Side below Burn side brldse. RICHEST BRJDE IN EUROPE Bertha Krupp, Owner of $100,000, 000, Weds Baron Von Bolilen. BERLIN, Oct. 13. Miss Bertha Krupp. who is to he married on Monday to Lieu tenant Gustav von Bohlen und Halbach, has possessions valued somewhere beyond a hundred millions of dollars, and a po sition (n Germany that Is more than that of the richest subject. The Institution she owns is almost a department of gov ernment, supplying the artillery for the German army, all the armor and guns for the navy, and some of the ships. The semi-political agents of the Krupps are persons of importance in Constan tinople and in the Balkan capitals. In telligence of most departments of mili tary and naval affairs In any part of the world reach the Krupp management, and thence the general staffs of the army and of the navy. In time of war the gov ernment would probably take over con trol of the works. The government has kept a solicitous watch on the Krupp net of enterprises, which include steel gun works at Essen, shipyards at Kiel, gun and armor works at Magdeburg, and a number of coal and iron mines. Tho employes aggregate 63, 000. The sole inheritor of these under takings on the death of her father in-1902 was Bertha Krupp. Mrs. Krupp and Barbara, the second daughter, received investments in boixTs and stocks. Bertha was 20 years old last March. Dr. von Bohlen. as he is generallv known, was first secretary of the legation which Prussia maintains at the Vatican distinct from the German Embassy at the Qulrinal. He was born 36 years ago at The Hague, where his father, Herr Gustav Bohlen und Halbach. was Minis ter for the Grand Duchy of Baden in the days before the empire took over the rep resentatlon of the German states. The civil ceremony of the marriage of Frauleln Krupp to Lieutenant Bohlen und Halbach took place today at the Regis trar OfHce of the village of Bredeny, near here. - 1 he proceedings were strictly for mal, only the brother of the brldgroom Socialists . Block Naval Programme. PARIS,, Oct. 13. A conflict has arisen between the Minister of Marine and the budget committee, the latter demanding that construction on the three last iron clads forming part of the naval pro gramme of 1906 not be commenced. This programme comprised six battleships, of wliich three are now in course of con struction. The Cabinet ' at yesterday's meeting fully supported M. Thomson's demand to carry out the programme. M. Thomson, Premier Sarrien and M. Polncaire, the Minister of Finance, later appeared before the budget committee in' the matter. "The members of the com mittee are largely Socialists, committed to a specific policy not favoring prepara tions for nattonal defense. M. Thomson made a speech in which he declared that the requirements of the navy admitted of no reduction in the programme, but he informed the committee that he had decided to give orders not to commence the construction of these three battle ships until the chamber gave a different vote thereon. This probably will occur Immediately after the session, as notice of Interpellation has already been gives. THREE MEN MEET DEATH BOILER EXPLODES OX GOVERN MENT STEAMBOAT.

General Stephen Perry Jocelyn ar rived at Vancouver Barracks this after noon and officially took his command, that of commanding General of the De partment of Columbia. General Jocelyn practically belongs to the Department of Columbia, and his arrival here not only Is a great pleasure to him, but also to all of the officers and men of the department, and especially those of the Fourteenth Regiment of Infantry, of which the Gen eral acted as Colonel for the period of four years. "I 'am glad to get settled' down again after my travels, and am glad to be here in this place, on account of my past con nection with this department and also with the Fourteenth Infantry, of which I am especially proud," said General Joce lyn this evening, In speaking of his ar rival here. Upon his arrival at the post at about 3:30, he was given a General's salute of II guns. He at once proceeded to the de partment headquarters and reported, offi cially assuming command. Unlike a civil officer, those of the. military circles are in command when they are on the ground, so with General Jocelyn. He has arrived and he is in command without further ceremony or parley. Twelve Years in Department. General - Jocelyn received his appoint ment to this command while he was in San Francisco soon after his arrival from the Philippines, where he had charge of the mustering of the volunteers during the Philippine campaign. He has served in all 12 years In this department, four years of which were spent as Colonel of Previous to his appointment to this position. the General was a member of the General Staff of the Army and acting as chief of staff of the division of the Pacific. After his receiving his promotion he started for a trip abroad and since hi3 leave the Department of the Columbia has been commanded by General McArthur, commander of the division of the Pacific, with headquar ters at San Francisco.- In speaking of his foreign tour the General said that his trip had been of an entirely private nature, sought more as a vacation than otherwise. Soldiers for Business Purposes. Referring to his conclusion drawn from ' his comparison of the foreign armies with that of the United States, he said: . "I am more satisfied than ever that the American soldier is far superior than those of any other Nation from the standpoint of individuality, self reliance, resources and independence. As an individual man, the American soldier with his khaki field uniform is to my mind the- biggest type of modern soldiery for business purposes." The General stated that the British had a much more showy army than the rest, but that he was considerably im pressed with the German soldiers, es pecially the officers, most of whom are highly educated in modern warfare. General Jocelyn was. at San Fran cisco at the time of the disaster, leav ing there three weeks afterwards for his foreign tour. He expressed him self as pleased with the spirit shown by San Francisco and said he believed it would rebuild better than before, as such spirit could not be- kept down. Labor Problem at'an Francisco, "This, however, said he, depends at present more upon' the labor question than anything else, as the rate of labor is so high now that the men who desire Turn Your Face Into Dollars Many a Man Has Failed Because His Tace Was a Picture of Calamity. It takes sunshine to produce a rose, a. perfect . rose. And so man. to be suc cessful, must have sunshine inside.. The life which has it not, which has no health and no happiness, is sour, surly, pessimistic, and a failure. The world already has too many vinegar faces that breathe ill-will and strife. The world wants joy, comfort, sunshine, and will cling to the man who has It, who radiates gladness and triumph wherever he Is and under all circumstances. Some people have a genius for seeking out the disagreeable, the crooked, the bad and the ugly. These are the destroyers; they travel In" schools, they herd to gether for they love their kind, and the cheerful part of the world will have nothing to do with them. And why is it that so many peddle disaster knowing at the same time that if thev do, their lives will be ruined? Some people cannot help it, for pessimism usually comes from bodily disorders; and this cannot always be prevented. . The stomach, for Instance. Is the most com mon cause1 of discontent, sour face, reck lessness, disgust and lack of ambition. A bad stomach. there is the secret of many a failure. Anyone can have a good stom ach, a strong stomach, a stomach that can take care of anything and everything that is put into It. no matter whether It is a very bad stomach now' or not.

The General also said he believed that the only successful solution of the Panama Canal labor question lay in the proper handling of the Chinese and Japanese labor.- He did not see any rea son why these laborers could not be se cured and then shipped back after the work was finished. The officers of the Fourteenth Infantry are jubilant over General Jocelyn's ar rival and to show their appreciation are preparing a big reception in his honor. Beloved by the Fourteenth. "You cannot say too much about the General," said one of the officers of tho Fourteenth. "We all love him because we know he is a fine type of a true sol dier." "He acted as our Colonel since 1901." said another, "and there is not an offi cer in this regiment but that would swear by him." General Jocelyn is certainly welcome here and In order to get any Informa tion regarding his fine career as an- offi cer all that is necessary is to 'consult a Fourteenth Infantry officer.. General Jocelyn is said to be the best authority in the United States upon the preparation' of muster rolls and the en rollment and organization of volunteers. Previous to his present appointment he rendered very valuable service In this line. The General's wife and his two charm ing daughters will arrive here about the first of the year and will remain here until he is placed on the retired list on March 17, 1907. . DR. C.
