The monarch ical organs are divided
in tl eir views of the Krnneror's utter

fifths of the German press are united
in criticism of the sovereign.
Every shade of disapproval Is voiced
from mild regret to mockery of the al
leged absolutist pretensions of the
Kmperor. Tlie opinions expressed In
the minor German capitals appear to
Mi-ike no distinction between the sover

and King of Prussia, and they aver
that his responsibility to the Umpire aa

whether the Imperial Chancellor. Ir.

IRRIGATION IR ON
Landowners in Grand Rondo
. Valley in Dispute.
MUCH PROPERTY INVOLVED
Eiion October Will Determine
Whether "Dhdrfet Plan Shall
- Be Adopted Granffers Are
Opposed to Scheme.
LA GRANufc. Auk. 27. i Special.)
One of the bitterest factional wars
since !ie days of county-seat strife. Is
now being waged in a territory em
bracing about 40,000 acres lying near
la, Grande. The dispute Is over the
district plan of irrigation. A move
ment has been set on foot to make a
"district" out of that part of Grande
Hondo Valley within the reach of the
Meadowbrook dam up the river, sur
veyed for and purchased some time ago
by a co-operative organization.
That plan was not satisfactory to
some of those opposed to irrigation.
and they succeeded in killing it out
right. Then the district plan was ad
vocated by Hon. Walter M. Pierce, and
it aeema now that It, too. Is to have
ruffled sailing.
The system of irrigation known ai
the "district method" is to put the mat
ter to a vote in the proposed district,
and If the plan carries, a commission
is appointed to administrate affairs.
The cost of maintenance Is all that is
required the first ten years and the
next ten years the bo ids are matured
and retired.
The scheme here is to bond the
project for a half million dollars.
About 30.000 acres are to be Irrigated.
But now that the date of election has
been set late in October the County
Grange has instituted a systematic
fight and warfare against the plan.
C. D. Huffman, prominent In the
Grange, and John McAllister, at the
head of the Farmers Union, are the
leaders of the opposition. Those who
are fighting It are not the men who
own the largest tracts of land.
Pierce and several others have hun
dreds of acres in the district and
would have to pay the assessments per
ncre the same as the man who only
lias five acres, but notwithstanding
that the men are anxious for irriga
tion they object to this plan. Tlie mat
ter comes before the County Court
September 1, and the first tussle will
then come up.
At this time it la doubtful If the
plan will carry. The Grangers have
instituted such sn effective warfare
against the system that those who have
been most optimistic are becoming dis
couraged. Frultdale and Maypark,
two leading orchard districts of the
valley, are with the plan whole
souled. Promoters of the plan argue that the
farms now ranging from 100 to 500
acres which stretch out from Lit Grande
in three directions will become so valu
able that they must necessarily be cut
up and sold, hence bringing more peo
ple to Grande Ronde Valley. Crops
have been grown with more or less
success here for two decades, argue
the oppositionists, and they propose to
continue to grow their crops that way
without the additional expense.
At first the "enemy numbered but a
few, but the campaign waged for the
past weeks has brought the Grange
over solldlv. Those close to the situa
tion say the resident h of the district
are about evenly divided.
HENRY HAS A NEW IDEA
GHAVKIi CLEARING-HOVSK IS
NEEDED. IIE SAYS.
With Plan of Relieving Congestion
of Travel on Various Willamette
Bridge, He Writes.
X sand and gravel clearing-house
is the unique idea advocated by Charles
hi. Henry as a means of rellevLng con
gestion of travel over various Willam
ette River bridges.
Mr. Henry believes that the sand and
gravel trust, and their river scows, fur
nish the greater part of the morning
travel over the bridges by drays, and
cause the draws to swing open more
than any other owners of boats. His
suggestion Is that building material
for use on the West Side be cleared
from the sand bunkers located on the
west aide of the river, and that the
same material destined for use on the
east side he bunkered over there.
" Seven ty-tive per cent of the gravel
that Is put in the bunkers on the west
side of the river, just south of, and
after causing the opening and closing
of the Btirnslde bridge, is hauled to
the east side.' said Air. Henry.
The well-known owner and dealer In
Portland real estate also suggests that
officers of the County Court and repre
sentatives of business interests get to
gether upon a sane dispersion of lumber
from the various mills, which Is used
for building in the city. He calls at
tention to the fact that lumber teams
occupy the bridges, to a very large ex
tent, when the materials might a well
be procured on the nfde where they are
to be used, and save the bitdges from
the wear of the strain or the heavy
team a.
Other suggestions from the pen of
Mr. Henry are the establishment of a
Public Service Commission for the han
dling of these and various other ques
tions, among them the proper housing'
Of streetcars and passengers, instead
of allowing the Portland Railway. Light
A Power Company to use the streets
for depots, and the bdlldlng of the
wide wing approaches to the bridges
The letter from Mr. Henry follows:
Ti th Editor:
County commissioner Oodderd and Juds
(). ton deserve the thanks of the ptvipl of
fori land for their but news- Ilk hand It nv
of th bridge by ordering the drawi closed
during the business or ruah hours. Horn
of i he boat eantHtna have ben extremely
Hfih and Impudent to those traveling
acrosa the brhlaea.
Tbe Vuntj Court Commissioners should
Kn another step in the rep-ulatlon of th
brldtfr matter with more additluuat com
fort to the traveling public and It would
cem to the financial gain of thtsand and
fratcl contractors.
Draws Ooen Tea Often.
The writer, durlnir the pact ' year resid
ing In irvinjcten. Had occaton to cross tha
Furnafde-street bridge each morning and
evening, and oftan found the draw open
at busineM hnura In order to admit th
paasase of towboats with rafts of logs and
alao barge of sand and crave I. which were
brourht i:p tht rir and landed Just south
ef the Fumide-rret brldce on th west
aid of the rivr, and when th hrtd- was
rloaed w uld be met with a proe-r(on of
three-mule tams dragj.nj- their lla out
trying to pull the heavy gravi and nd
ifni up tb sp inclln of th brirtic
girg across to the East Side for dlitrtbu-
tion. and tr m t'm almnvt taking: emir
poaaesakoo of the bride. The wr1tr really ,
believes that at leas: 75 per cent of th i
and and grmvi that la put Into th bunk
era on The wt aide of the river. Just south
of th Burnnde bridge, a ad after th opea- j
1nr and closing of the said bridge draw. Is
hauleo to ih Kait ide.
Bulldlnr in Laurelhurst, the writer has
bad occasion to com In on the Baae Lin
road and cross the Morrison bridge, where.
In Ilk manner, th public Is held up by
tne opening ana closing; or tn a raw io aa
mlt of towboats and barges, carrying sand
a nri mrm vl from a. nlace near Ross Island.
which la taken through and north. of th
Morrlaon-street bridge and landed or plied
in tne bunkers on in east siae. oi tn river,
and here the p roc east on is reversed, for the
three-mule teams begin to tak th sand
and gravel from Mckum Kelly's bunk
ers on the eaat side oT the rlvar. hauling it
to th went portion of tne city, croaaing
the Morrison-street bridge.
Clearing -House Is Solution.
Vow. It would seem to the writer that
th sand and gravel "trust" could arrange
a eiearing-aouse, ana aisinouie in bvu
nd gravel needed and uaed on the east
M nf th river from th hunkers OH thC
Eaat ide, anrt that needed and uaed on the
West Side, from the bunker on the weet
side of the river. It does seem to be th
most stupid business arrangement, and an
exceedingly unnecessary annoyance to the
general public. They occupy moat of th
nrtag ana aeiay tne tratriu more tnaa iww
nr tlirat nthr Induatrtoa In the cltV.
The writer notices that a great dal of
th lumber for new building being erected,
not only in Laurel hurst, but in Holladay
Addition and Irvlnaton. Is l&bIed Portland
Lumber Company and Jones Lumber Com
pany, wnieh evidence that it is nauiea irom
South Portland serosa the brldaea to th
Kast Side; while many of tho-new residences
erected on th West ' Bide are mad from
lumber from Inman Ar Pouleon Umber
Company, Htandard Box company, and eveu
the Peninsula Lumber ComDny. which indi
cates that th lumber Is hauled from th
east of th river. This la a great
economic waste, aa they ought to distribute
the lumber used for the buildings on the
Kaat Hid from the mills on the East Side,
and for thos on th West Stda from th
mills on the west aide of th river; thereby
lessening the strain on our bridges.
As a matter of fact, thla whole bridge
matter ought to be taken Into consideration
by th County Commissioner In conjunction
with oiiainag mea living on both slaes or
th river.
Bridges Should Be Wider.
Th writer believes that each of the prea
ent bridges should be mad much wider and
that th city ahould buy, for instance, for
the Burnslde bridge, 10 or 20 feet of ground
on th south sldo where tbre are little or
no building to Interfere, and widen the
cits from that bridge, also th Morrlaon
street bridge, and make the turnout and
approaches to the bridge mon romraodtous.
As It fa now, the bulk of th traffic is
forced through a narrow opening or outlet.
War this to be done, together with th
eariy completion of the very wide railroad
hrldg (being much wider than any of'th
other bridges), with its high )evatlon over
the river, admitting of tlie passage of most
of the river traffic, coupled with th proper
amount of regulation of boat and team traf
fic, the near completion of the Madison
street bridg. It ought to reliev th con
gest 'on for a long time to come, or until
such tim as the street railway company
will have provided a tub for its car service
or a brldg of Its own In the heart of th
city.
Th wrltar firmly believe that th city
ought to have a com m tar Ion to handle
th public utilities and franchise. Th
city 1 growing very rapidly and proper
preparation 1 not being mad by the street
car companies In anticipation of th enor
mous traffic to be handled In thla city. The
atreeta ar being used by them as depots to
the exclusion of teams and vehicle traffic,
and it will b necessary in the very near
future for th clttsen of Portland to tak
this into their hand through so me commis
sion or- torn other authorized body with
power to act.
