. lint Sid push clubs ar considering
location of tha public docks, and a Tart
IT of suggestions will t aubmltted to
th Public Dock 0)mmlMon. At the
nineties of th Sesrnth Ward Improve
ment Ltau Thursday nltit a resolution
va, Introduced recommending that the
docka for the East Side be built between
the Burnrtde and Hawthorne bridge, and
while a majority favored the location It
waa decided to appoint a committee, with
Z E- Rice aa chairman, to lnTalata
and report at next uieetlns-
K. I Ml! la argued against location of
any dock south of the bridge. He would
ma far as possible reduce the number of
times t'.iat the drama would be opened
for pasTtr.g craft.
sir. Rice succeeded In having his reso
' lutlona adapted by the VTaverty-Richmond
Improvement Association Friday Bight,
with a strong recommendation to the
Dock Commliwonera Thos who spoke
were asslEst the location of the docks, as
proposed by the East Side Business
Men s Club, between the new railroad and
Rurnsuie brtdKm on the around that
double docks would be needed, and that
the cost of candling freight would be ex
cessive. W 8L Chapman said tliat the
time mlaht come m hrn public dock would
be needed at SUwood and other points
toward the south. He thouicht that CSOO.
tem would be money sufficient to build
docks) on different portions of the water
front. BosIneM Men's Club Makes Flan.
The location favored by the East Side
Business Men's Club is between the new
railroad and BurnMde bridges at the ends
of the streets) which the O. R. N. Com
pany has been asking to hsve vacated.
These docka would be about sua fret long,
and would ne double-decked. The high
bank would be reached by means of via
ducts built ever the streets between the
upper deck of the docks snd the bluff.
Thl, It Is urged, would be the rooK con
venient location that could be selected,
because It could be central to the whole
of the Cast Bid. Maps have been drawn
and a special committee is gathering data
for' presentation to the LKx?lt Commis
sioners. J. Bl Zlegler. who Is chairman of the
dock committee from th North East Side
Improvement Association, is also urging
this location.
Hherman VT. Walker, secretary of the
Civic Council, speaking for himself and
not for the Council, favora a location
between the Burrde and Hawthorne
bridges, and Is opposed to the location
advocated by the East Side Business
'Men Club on the ground that a two
story dock would be avoided by shippers)
aa too expensive snd cumbersome for the
quick handling of freight. Mr. Walker
said:
"I undertook to say In an Interview re
cently that a paving firm planned to
handle SV.OOO barrels of cement next
year on the only dock available on the
IVist Bide, and not lAOJO sackn Dockage
cf the i'W.O) barrels of cement would be
:.( for the buslnesa of the single firm.
Now that the matter Is In bsnd. and aa
I have had charge, since Its) construction,
of the only dock ever built on the East
lde des-gr.ed for a general docking bual
new. penult mo to say tomelhing ebout
what a public dock should be designed
to do.
Heavy Material Hauled.
Pua to th raplj growth of Portland,
th principal tonnage to arrive by ves
sel consists of cement, lime, plaster, as
phalt. Iron and steel and other material
uffed In paving streeta and In constructing
building!". A dock which would succeed
financially must be equipped to handle
the heavy substances economically and
quickly, and ba so located that deliveries
can be made by conveyances without
encountering any ewrioua grades. Too
mucb reliance should not be placed upon
rail shipments, aa Portland uses a greater
quantity of thee materials than all th
inland town and cltle combined, and.
loo, th railroads) will b loth to permit
aay great share of such shipments to b
discharged at any except their own docka
Iiellverles by wagon will averag
about three and a half ton and by au
tomobile about five ton racb load, un
der present traffic condition. All of
the materials destined for use on tha
East Side should be docked on the East
ld. avoiding daisy caused by tha
bridge and by tha congested condition
of th West Side water front streets;
also savin tha wear and tear on th
bridges, which I no small Item when
hundred of thound of ton ar con
Iderad. -In selecting a location for a public
dock It would seem wise to consider
what has been done by private capital.
Th fact that four of the largest f I nits
In the city handling sand, rock and
ravel bav their docks between East
Washington and Eaat Main atreeta and
tha fact that the only dock ever built
on the East Sid Intended to receive
general cargoea also lies within th
same limit would Indicate that thl I
th most favorable location. From all
these docks West fid deliveries ar
readily mad over th Morrison and
Hawthorn bridge, both of which pre
ent no sharp gradea Every foot of
elevation and every block of haul
counta when handling such large
tonnage and every possible advantage
In location should be carefully con
sidered. "I believe that a public dock on tha
Kit Side is necessary for the conve
nience and benefit of East Side prop--erty
owner, and I sincerely hope that
th Public Dock Commission will de
ride to give both ldes of th river a
share In this important public Improve
ment." Location Affects Revenue.
Joseph Surplr. boat builder, who recent
ly returned from a three months' trip
Ijast. examined some of th public docka
there. He believe that th dock prop
erly located her can be made to pay a
revenue, but that If they are not located
where they will be convenient to shipper
they wlU be a source of expense to th
public
In Snn Francisco."" said Mr. Supple.
the docks are v.e!l constructed of con
crete and r a good revenue. So can
they be mad to pay In "Portland. I
lav received several offer for my
block here and have refused and do
noc care to sell, but I would sell th
water front part to th city for dockage
purposea. Them block) ar W feet deep
fctwea iLorrisoo. and Hawthorn bridges
m " . . m .wn, SAA feet
UU uie city vuUiii ni.uia '
frontage. H feet deep, leaving the spae
of feet between the dock and Eat
Water street for trackage and storage.
It would 'be eaay to build cement dock
her. A cement wall on the front would
be all that would be needed, and material
from tha river could be pumped back of
th wall to make It a aolld fill. Th cover
would be Iron. A large number of ship
can be provided for on tha front and
In tha middle of th dock.
Portland will have WO. 000 people In
less than Ov yearn We are going ahead
rapidly. A vaat amount of building ma
terial will be used and public dock
bar can be so built that they will ba
a great beneflt, but they will pay welU
They are not to ba free, aa some eeem
to suppose, but will produce a revenue.
I don't approve of the location uggested
by the East de Business Men Club,
(nippers want modern method of han
dling tbelr freight and two-tory dock
would not afford the best facllltiea."

SWEmS DEPOSED
AFTER LONG FIGHT
Democrats Elect Haney to
Conduct Campaigns for
Whole Ticket. .
BALLOTS ARE SEE-SAWS
Opposition Puts TJp Miller as Foe of
One-Man Campaigns nd w
Stan Gives Pledge to Have -Man
for Every Office.
Balloting- from early In the evening
until nearly midnight. Oregon Demo
crats threshed out their difference In
th Stat Central Committee last night
by deposing Alex Sweek as chairman
and putting In hi tead Bert E. Haney.
Th selection of Haney was made on
th 16th ballot after 8week had with
drawn from a deadlock with Robert A.
Miller and asked hi friend to vote for
the third man In th race.
By way of contrast with th long
drawn battla over the chairmanship,
th committee consumed less than two
minute In selecting J. W. Ferguon
as secretary to succeed John B. Ryan.
The vote was by acclamation and there
wa no opposition. John Montag was
elected a treasurer In the same
peedy manner.
Thirty-two counties were represented
either by committeemen or proxies at
the meeting, which waa held at th Im
perial Hotel. The meeting had been
aroualng keen interet of Democrats.
Inasmuch as It wa Intended there
should be a matching of strength be
tween two factions.
Tha opposition to Sweek was based
upon hi encouraging a one-man cam
paign aa evidenced In the last two gu
bernatorial campaign, when every
thing waa sacrificed by the State Cen
tral Committee In the Interest of the
Democratic candidate for Governor.
The leader of the opposition wa Judge
Will R. King. Justice of the Oregon
Supreme Court, who was recently de
feated to succeed himself on the bench.
Judge King placed Mr. Miller In nom
ination. He said that excellent ser
vice had been don by Chairman Sweek,
but that a change aeemed to be needed
for tt welfare of the party.
Party Must Get Out of But.
E. S. J. McAllister said ha thought
the party had got into a rut. He
thought the best way out of that rut
wa to put In a new chairman and he
suggested Mr. Haney a th best man
to accomplish that mission. Richard
Montague waa nominated by S. M. Gar
land. Newton McCoy made a long ap
peal for stricter observance of party
lines and ended by seconding tha nom
ination of Miller. Judge Van Zanta
alio expressed hi preference for Mil
ler. W. F. Jackson, of Sherman. ec
onded the nomination of Montague.
John M. Wall, of Washington, arosa
to second the nomination of Sweek. but
aid he would vote for Miller, Montague
or Haney If that would help get th
Democrats of Multnomah County to
gether. He expressed some doubt a to
the likelihood of harmony ever estab
lishing Itself in thl county.
"Mr. Sweek has been cultivating the
plum tree," the apeaker said, "and now
that a Democratic President seems In
sight, he should have the first plum.
These other men only want to pluck the
plum. There always have been row in
the Democratic rank In Multnomah
County and always will be. Don't throw
Sweek overboard and kick him out just
aa the barvet is to ba gathered."
Ballot Show Many Changes.
Th committee then proceeded to bal
lot. Sweek took the lead on the first
ballot, the score standing Sweek 13. Miller
10. Haney ( and Montague S. On the sec
ond ballot Sweek Jumped to It, Haney
dropped to . Miller got 11 and Montague
. On the third ballot Sweek gained an
other vote. Miller gained 3. Haney
dropped to a single vote and Montagu
received l
With IT votes reculred to elect. Miller
received Is on the t-'irth ballot. Sweek
dropped to 14 and Haney did not receive
any. Thereafter the deadlock continued
vote after vote. Miller frequently coming
within one vote of election. Haney re
ceived one vote on some of the ballot
and on other he did not appear. Mon
tague shared the same fate.
On the 13th ballot Haney auddenly re
vived with t vote while Miller and
Bweek each fell back to U. But on the
next ballot Haney fel back to 7. On the
16th ballot Miller crept back to 15. Sweek
got but 11 and Haney but . It vras than
that Sweek arose to end the deadlock.
Sweek Gives Vp Fight.
"I'm going to settle thl matter," aald
he. "It 1 hardly of enough importance
that you gentlemen should be kept here
all night. Kithcr Colonel Miller or my
self mut withdraw. I am going to do
o and ask my friends to cast their vote
for Mr. Haney."
Garland then withdrew the name of
Montagu and tha contest w left to
Haney and Miller. The 16th ballot gav
Haney 13 votes and Miller 14.
The new chairman spoke briefly, assur
ing the commute that stood tor, sup
port of Democrats for every office. "1
e no reason why we should not have a
Democratic ticket for every office In the
state, and It shall be my aim to have
candidates In th Held all down th line,"
