THE SUNDAY UKISUUMAX, PORTLAND, SEPTEMBER -15, 1907.
HO SITE SELECTED
Board of Health Cannot Act
in Crematory Matter.,
QUORUM IS IMPOSSIBLE
Council's Resolution Must - Await
Ileturn of Member Who Is Ab
sent From City May Report
at the Xext Meeting.
No selection of a site for the new gar
bage crematory has yet been made by the
Health Board In compliance with the
resolution passed by the Council at its
last meeting, and for all practical pur
poses the matter stands Just where It did
six months or so ago when the construc
tion of an incinerator was first decided
on. Dr. Giesy, a member of the Board,
is out of the city, and as there is already
one vacancy It is impossible to have a
quorum until he returns. The Board will
probably prepare its report In time for
presentation to the Council at its next
regular meeting, but there will probably
be considerable delay as the regular
course will be to send the report to a
committee.
As there has been no meeting of the
Board, the members have not taken up the
choice of a site, except individually, and
do not care to make known their prefer
ences. As the Council has eliminated all
consideration of the East Side and the
Board is known to prefer a central loca
tion, it is safe to say that the report will
recommend somo place on the West Side
waterfront.
There has been some talk of a loca
tion on the waterfront north of the Union
Depot, but it is more probable that the
foot of one of the streets south of the
business center will be the site selected.
It is not entirely improbable that the
Board will decline to take any action on
the Council's resolution. Before sub
mitting its choice of a site at the mouth
of Sullivan's Gulch, the Board spent
many weeks considering first one location
and then another. Not only did the in
dividual members take up the matter, but
every crematory expert who visited the
city was asked to look over the situation
and advise the Board which location he
favored.
When the report was finally submitted
and rejected by the Joint committee on
ways and means and health and police,
the Board was not anxious to take up
the matter at the beginning again, having
no assurance that its second report would
be followed. It may be deckled to allow
the Council to make its own choice.
In the meantime the garbage situation
Is becoming rather serious. The present
Incinerator has not sufficient capacity to
handle all the refuse of the city and much
of it is being dumped in sloughs through
out the city. Only 15 per cent of the
garbage consumed comes from the East
Side, according to Superintendent Daggett.
The reason that this percentage is so
low. the superintendent adds, is that only
a part of the East Side garbage finds
its way to the crematory. This holds true
also of the West Side residence district.
The garbage is more thoroughly col
lected in the business district than in any
other part of the city, Mr. Daggett says.
Another thing that makes the erection
of a new ' crematory imperative Is that
the old one Is fast approaching the end
of its usefulness. It may last a year
or even two years or it may tumble down
within a month, according to a state
ment made by the superintendent before
the Council committee. If the burner
should collapse, as it threatens to do at
any time, it would leave the city In a
lerious predicament until a new inciner
itor could be built.
CATCHES BIG SALMON
A. D. Charlton Champion Fisher
man of Railroad Row.
A. D. Charlton, assistant general
passenger agent for the Northern Pa
cific, has Just earned the championship
belt of Railroad Row for the biggest
fish caught this season. While fish
ing at Newport Thursday he caught jin
18-pound saimon, the first to be taken
this season on a troll line. Just as he
hooked the gamey chinook, Mrs. Charl
ton felt a vigorous pull on her trolling
line and found she also had a salmon.
Then followed 15 minutes during
which Mr. and Mrs. Charlton were very
busy. They both succeeded in finally
landing the two fish, but were tired out
by the struggle. "Seallon" Charley,
dean of the fishermen on the Oregon
Coast, was in the party and aided in the
double capture by giving instructions
to the two. Mr. Charlton is very en
thusiastic over the sport and word was
received here that he intends remain
ing at Newport until he has caught all
the salmon in Yaqulna Bay.
Some wijl scoff at the weight of the
fish caught by the Northern Pacific
official and this has been foreseen by
Mr. Charlton. He will preserve his
catch in a huge Jar of alcohol and bring
It back to Portland, where it will be
on display to dispel the doubts of
friends.
Mr. Charlton is evidently having the
time of his life at Newport, for he has
sent In a bearskin which will be made
Into a rug. Whether he actually shot
the bear is not known. He will doubt
less have a complete history of the
daughter of the animal ready when he
returns to town.
WILL DRIVE FOR HARRIMAN
Walter Witner, of This City, to Be
Magnate's Chauffeur.
Walter Witner, chauffeur, well known in
Portland and one of the drivers who took
the Harriman party through Southern
Oregon In automobiles when the .magnate
visited the Coast recently, has been en
gaged by Mr. Harriman as a driver, and
will leave for the East In a few weeks to
begin his work with the Wall-street wiz
ard. Witner so Impressed Mr. Harriman
with his good work on that trip that Mr.
Harriman promised him a position in
New York as a driver of a big C. V. G.
limousine.
Witner is a young man, scarcely out of
his teens, but has seen his share of the
world. Born in France, and apprenticed
In one of the large automobile factories
near Paris, Witner had an excellent
chance to learn all there is to know about
auto driving. He left the Old World,
came to this country and drove in the
East for two years. Last Winter he vis
ited the Coast and was employed by Louis
Russell. On Mr. Russell's auto trip
through Southern California last Winter,
Witner drove the car and made good. On
his return to the city, Witner was hired
by C. F. Swlgert as a driver of the let
ter's big Panhard limousine, and because
of his thorough knowledge of European
cars, was able to do good work.
On the trip with the Harriman party
Witner drove the car in which Mr. Har
riman rode for four days, and for eight
days carriqd. Mr. Harriman's two sons.
On the trip the great railroad magnate
rode in the front seat and on several oc
casions when the car was stuck in chuch
holes, Mr. Harriman jumped out ard
helped put the ear on the road again.
One. time when the road was blocked by
underbrush, Harriman took a small ax
and cleared the road for several yards.
When others of the party volunteered
their services, and offered to help cut
brush. Mr. Harriman refused, saying that
he wanted to do the work himself.
Harriman's two sons are democratic
youths, and are not as most people would
expect, supplied with pocket money By
their father. Instead, the two boys own
a small chicken ranch near their country
residence, and in that way earn their
spending money. They know the value of
a dollar thoroughly.
Mr'. Harriman owns three autos, all
European cars. One, the C. V. G., is a
large limousine. The others are a SO
horse-power Mercedes touring car ana
a Fiat touring car.
HERING RETAINS POSITION
Will Be General 'Agent Here for. Har
riman Refrigerator Lines.:
S. A. Hering, general agent in the
Pacific Northwest for the Armour Re
frigerator Car Lines, has been appoint
ed to a like position with the Pacific
Fruit Express, the Harriman com
pany, which takes over the buslnesi of
the Armour corporation. 'The latter
will retire from this territory October 1.
General Agent Heringr will retain his
present office force. He is busily en
gaged in winding up the affairs, of the
Armour company preparatory to taking
up the work of the Harriman organiza
tion. Mr. Herlng has been in charge of
the refrigerator car service in this
territory for years, and is thoroughly
acquainted with the demands of the
traffic-
As the refrigerator service will b a
part of the Harriman system, Mr.
Hering will move his office from the
Lumber Exchange building to the
Wells-Fargo building withinl a few
days.
REPORT IS NOW REApY
Receiver Devlin Will Submit Result
of His Labors Tomorrow.
The report of Receiver Devlin, of the
Oregon Trust & Savings Bank, will prob
ably be filed with, the Circuit Court to
morrow. All possible expedition has been
used in compiling the report, and it will
be very full and comprehensive. Re
ceiver Devlin said last night he was try
ing to' complete It so as to submit it Mon
day. The work of reorganization of the Ore
gon Trust & Savings Bank Is progressing
as well as could be expected, but the re
ceiver says the success of the plan de
pends upon the co-operation of depositors
and creditors. Outside capital, it is be
lieved, will be enlisted. .
Make a Fortune
for Your Husband
It is no uncommon occurrence to hear of a wife making a fortune for a hus
band through reading the ".Want Ads."
Women, as a rule, have good business judgment. They have a sense of
intuition, which frequently is worth more in a business deal than the cold, cal
culating business logic of a man.
While the husband is away at his work at the office or at the shop many a
woman has found (by spending a few minutes each day in reading the "Want
acis. in ine Morning Uregoman) just the opportunity
ing for.
A run-down business with great possibilities for the right man a business
that has to be disposed of because of the failing health of the ownerhas fre
quently changed hands through these little "Want Ads.," which nearly every
body is now using in The Oregonian, daily and Sunday. Phone vour aI.

OUST
MONTH
AHEAD
Much Work Is Cut Out by the
Railroad Commission.
ALCOHOL FIRST SUBJECT
Hearing Tomorrow Before Interstate
Commerce Commissioner Lane.
Other Matters in Connection
With Conduct of Railroads.
The Oregon Railroad Commission has
a busy month ahead of it. There are a
number of hearings approaching and
questions affecting relations of the rail
roads and the people of the state that
the commission will delve into at the
request of shippers and the general pub
lic. A hearing before' Franklin K. Lane, of
the Interstate Commerce Commission, on
the Justness of the rate on denatured al
cohol will be held in the United States
courtroom In the Federal building tomor
row morning at 10 o'clock. This hearing
will not require any extended session,
but It Is thought other matters will be
looked into by Commissioner Lane while
in the city.
The Oregon Commission will hear the
discussion of the complaint of the Salem
transfer companies against the Southern
Pacific for failure to provide Improved
facilities at the Salem depot for the
prompt and efficient handling of freight.
In its answer to the complaint of the
transfer companies, the railroad says it
Is ready to make the necessary Improve
ments, but for some reason the changes
have not been made. The matter will be
threshed out before the Commission.
Cost of the C. & E.
The cost of construction of the Corval
lis & Eastern Railroad and its present
value will be inquired into on September
21 by the Commission at its Salem head
quarters. This inquiry will doubtless take
some time, but a start will be made on
that date. The value of the road is de
sired by the Commission to determine an
equitable schedule of rates over that line.
Other railroads in Oregon will be inves
tigated in the same way, as the Commis
sion has time and opportunity.
Complaints of residents along the Ore
gon City division of the Oregon Water
Power & Railway Company will be taken
up on September 24, at the Commercial
building offices of the Commission in
Portland. People living at Oak- Grove and
other stations along the electric line want
their fare reduced to Portland, and ask
that the railroad company be required to
aeauct t cents from the present charges.
The car shortage situation is one that
will demand the attention of the Com
mission during the next few weeks. The
situation all over the Harriman lines In
this territory is said to be approaching a
critical stage and shippers are clamoring
for equipment. As yet the Commission
has no statements to make on the car
shortage question, but investigation is
being made, and much data has already
been gathered. The complaint of the
transportation committee of the Chamber
of Commerce on the car supply of the
Harriman lir.es will be given full consid
eration. Results Already Obtained.
Valuable results have been obtained in
many instances from the work of the
Commission. A placard has been posted
recently In stations on the O. R. & N.
and Southern Pacific lines in this state,
by order of the Commission, setting forth
the duties of station agents in keeping
their stations open lighted and heated,
and showing what the public has a right
to expect In the way of treatment from
agents. This step Is bound to be one that
will accomplish a great deal in educating
the agents to their responsibilities in
their dealings with the public, and will
result in a greater degree of public com
fort. Winter Steamship Rates.
For some reason unknown to the
Portland offices of the Canadian Pa
cific Railway, the Winter schedule, of
first-cabin rates from Quebec and
Montreal to Liverpool on Canadian
Pacific steamers has been inaugurated
much sooner than usual. The custom
of the company has been to put in the
usual Winter reductions on November
1. Word has been received by F. R.
Johnson, head of the passenger of
fices of the Canadian Pacific, that the
Winter tariffs will go into effect im
mediately. The Winter rates are in effect until
March 31. and are a reduction of from
$15 to 1100 In the usual first-cabin
tariffs. The company offers reduc
tions on east-bound business only.
Eastbound Travel Heavy.
Railroad ' agents report a heavier ex
cursion business to the East during Sep
tember than for any month of the Sum
mer. Though travel was heavy all Sum
mer, and was particularly good on the
dates of each month when special reduc
tions were, offered on account of the
Jamestown Exposition, the local pas
senger offices were thronged during the
September dates, 11, 12 and 13. Ticket
agents of all lines worked like beavers
to handle the travelers who flocked in to
buy tickets. Railroad men estimate that
on the three September dates in Portland
not less than 400 people took advantage of
the reductions.
Rate Conference Wednesday.
The adjustment of rates on freight
shipped by ocean from San Francisco
to Portland and transshipped here to
Interior points will be the -subject
for a conference Wednesday between
steamship and railroad men. Uniform
terminal rates are sought for the

transportation of freight from San
Francisco via Portland and the Puget
Sound ports to the interior. Repre-r
sentatives of the Great Northern,
Northern Pacific and O. R: & N. Com
panies and of the San Francisco &
Portland Steamship Company and the
Pacific Coast Steamship Company will
participate in the session.
Rates out of the Coast cities to the
interior on freight brought in from
San Francisco by sea are at present
conflicting. In' some cases charges
from Puget Sound to the Interior are
heavier than from Portland, while In
other instances the Portland lines
charge more. It is the plan to adjust
these differences.
BUILDING FOR PORTLAND
H. E. Reed Would Have City Repre
sented at Seattle Fair.
Henry E. Reed, director of publicity
of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposi
tion, to be held in Seattle in 1909, was
in Pprtland yesterday. It is under
stood that one of the objects of his
visit is to bring the attention of lead
ing citizens and commercial organiza
tions the advisability of having Port
land represented by its own building
and exhibit at the Seattle exposition.
This Portland building would be in
addition to the official Oregon stato
building and exhibit, for which the
Oregon Legislature has. appropriated
J100.000.
Mr. Reed says the National Govern
ment will be asked to appropriate
$1,175,000 for the fair. It is proposed
to have an exposition which will equal
in every respect the Lewis and Clark
Fair of two years ago. The success
of the latter fair has been of great
benefit to the Seattle officials in their
plans, as many of the features which
proved popular here will be used as
models for the Seattle fair.
