SECRETARY OLCOTT ESTIMATES THAT IT WILL - COST $4,945,820 TO RUN STATE DURING 1913-U4 State Agricultural College Total to Be $752,160, and That of University $615,000 Figures for Other Funds Given by Secretary of State in Sizing Up Expenses for Coming Two Years. PROBE IS STARfED PLAN IS TWOFOLD BTG THREE GETS NEW OFFICE Rose City Sails With Good List but WRECK PENINSULA Captain Quinan, of Govern' ment Lifesaving Service, Ar rives From Bay City. NEW EQUIPMENT IS NEEDED !Povcr-I)rien Boats of Crew at Bar : .Lost in Rescue and .Station I: Lett With Only Ore-Propelled Craft in Case of Need. Pursuant to report made to Cap tain J. H. Quinan. Inspector of the Ignited States lifesaving service, con cerning the wreck of the steamer Rose crans, the part the Point Adams and Cape Disappointment lifesaving crews took in the rescue of men from the ship, also the loss of life, he reached Portland yesterday from San Francisco and will investigate details Insofar as the Government is interested. Such an inspection always fol lows loss of life, but in this case the sinking of the Cape Disappointment crew's boat and the loss of the Point Adams boat in breaking adrift from the light vessel, but add to the reasons for delving into the facts. It is be lieved that the latter boat will be picked up at sea and returned to Ham mond, and as a body of one survivor is lashed to the bottom that should be recovered unless the boat is adrift for a lengthy time. ew Kqulpment Veiled. The boats are of the self-bailing and self-righting type, according to Will iam W. T-atham, assistant superinten dent of construction, who maintains the office here, and eV-h represents a cost of several thousands of dollars. ; As the crews now have no modern equipment for use in emergencies, be ing dependent on oar-propelled craft, they would probably be of little serv ice in an accident such as befell the Rosecrans. Steps will no " doubt be taken to re-equip the stations imme diately. In line with a resolution passed at tle annual meeting Friday night, the Chamber of Commerce will take steps at a session to be held tomorrow, to arrange for the presentation of a li brary to each crew, also some of the current magazines for an extended pe riod, and the question of medals for each member will be taken up. rtrrn to 31nke Report. Some favor the entire expense being borne by the general fund of the Cham ber, rather than ask the public to sub scribe. In addition the organization will report to the authorities at Wash ington. D. C, asking that the lifesavers be commended for their part in the rescue. Fred Peters, a quartermaster . saved from the Kosecrans. who was carried on a plank from the wreck to Tioga, on North Beach, has written United States Inspectors Edwards and Fuller that he will be in Portland tomorrow and make a report to them of events' leading to the loss of the tanker.

In the arrival of the American-Hawaiian liner Hawaiian at New York Tuesday cargo was delivered that left San Francisco on the liner Virginian December 18, being but 20 days in tran Flt. In the lot were shipments -from Portland for New York as well as Eu rope. The time In transit for cargo during 1 112 was from 22 to 28 days, and only once was the performance of the Hawaiian beaten, and that was making the delivery in IS days about two years ago. It has been reported that when the Panama Canal is opened the American Hawaiian will continue the existing arrangement of handling business via the Tehuan tepee route, in preference to the all-water haul, and it is esti mated" that two days will be saved in the delivery time, as against steamers traveling through the Canal. That has not been officially given out here, and it Is presumed that any change will be made long before the Canal is available.

So peacefully calm as Hs glinting waves Reflected the sky's soft hue. Its beauty we praised as we -dreamily gazed Across its expanse so vast, And we said that the picture would more perfect be With the sight of a ship's tall mast. And soon one came sailing along to wards the bar A speck on that broad sheen of blue; And we thought just how frail was the chance of that sail If a furious storm should ensue. And now we have read of the poor mangled dead. Who fought with the . storm just where We admiringly gazed' and the soft beauty praised Of a. scene so surpassingly fair. Mid the blackness of night and the chill of despair 'Gainst the wind and the waves mountain high Men fought for their souls on those treacherous shoal?. To be swept in the mad sea to die. And their ship once so gallantly stalely and proud Floats shattered to bits on the shore.

TAX LEVY IS FORGOTTEN Judge CIceton and District Attorney Tliink Money for General Pur poses Cannot Be Used to Pay for Bural Tuitions. I It was discovered yesterday that, through oversight, or carelessness, on the part of the County Court, ex-County School Superintendent Robinson and others, the county high school fund law, adopted by Multnomah County voters at the general election on November 6. cannot be put Into operation this year. The reason is that no tax levy was made to raise funds with which to pay the tuition of pupils, and, although there might be sufficient money in the county general fund to do it. It is agreed by County Judge Cleeton and District Attorney Evans, in offhand opinions, that such money could not be used legally. The law provides that when the state high Bchool fund law is applied to a county, the County High School Board, consisting of the two County Commis sioners, the County Judge, the County Treasurer and the County School Su perintendent, shall be organized and that this board shall make a tax levy to raise such money as shall be neces sary for the payment of tuition of pu pils and shall make contracts with the school boards under which high schools are operating: or are to operate. The County Judge becomes chairman. 3IeetiBK I Hot Held. Xo meeting of this board was ever held, although the law states that it must meet within 30 days of the elec tion' and make preparations, and the matter of a tax levy was completely overlooked. The county high school fund law pro vides that one district or any number of districts combined may erect a high school building and that the county shall pay as yearly tuition fees J40 for the first 2! pupils in attendance, ISO each for the second 20 and $12.0 each for all pupils in excess of 40.

"Mr. Robinson and I spoke about get ting statistics for an estimate of how much would have to be raised for the fund, and I asked him to get the ma terial together and submit It to us, as he was In a better position to do so, being in close touch with the schools," said County Judge Cleeton, in explana tion of the oversight. "He Kald he would do it, but I heard no more about it and forgot it when the tax levy was being made up. Data Are Not Konnd. "Mr. Robinson says that he submitted the data to a deputy in County Clerk Fields' office, but no trace of it can be found now, and Mr. Fields doe not re member that it reached him." As the law provides that the County Judge becomes chairman of the County High School Board, there is no attempt on the part of Judge Cleeton to shirk responsibility, for upon his shoulders, as chairman, fell the task of calling the others together for the purpose of or ganization. Judge Cleeton stated yes terday that Commissioner Ldghtner re called a sort of meeting one day be tween Mr. Robinson, Judge Cleeton and himself, constituting a quorum, but the Judge could not remember anything about it on his own initiative.

Day Would Create District of 40,000 "Lots. Residents Favor Move Which Could Add Waterfront. Creation of a drainage district em bracing about 40.000 lots, for the dredging of Columbia Slough, at an estimated cost of $500,000, is one of the most Important projects that will be placed before the Legislature, which will open Its sessions at Salem tomor row. A bill is being drafted and will be Introduced into the House by J. II. Nolta and In the Senate by I. N. Day, members of the Multnomah County del egation, for the creation of the pro posed district. It is to provide for a commission of five men who will serve without pay and will have charge of tl work after the district is created. The first men will be appointed by the Governor, but thereafter they will be elected by the people ot the district as their terms expire. It Is believed by the interested per sons that this project will solve the great problem of how to drain this part of the Peninsula. This question has troubled the . territory affected for years and for three years has been a burning issue there that has greatly troubled City Engineer Hurlburt. Renldenta Are Pleased. It is said that the solution to be wrought out by the creation of the proposed district is one that plea-ses those living or having Interests in the affected territory, as it not only solves the drainage and sewage problem, but It does It at less cost by at least one half and also provides a ship channel that will be about 15 miles long, there by adding Just this much waterfront to the city. There have been several efforts to work out the great problem of drain age on this part of the Peninsula, one of which was to construct a trunk sewer Into which the entire area would be drained. This, however, was found to be so expensive for first cost of in stallation and also burdensome as to maintenance, that it was abondoned. For some time nothing was done, but It was imperative that steps be taken to relieve the conditions existing and the Interests affected finally decided that the best means and at the same time the most economical was to cre ate a district and have the slough dredged and put into first-class shape for handling shipping and to take care of the sewage. The various clubs In the district therefore decided, recently, to appoint a committee, consisting of J. B. Laber and S. L. Woodward, to engage an at torney to draft a bill for the creation of such a district-as would be necessary to take care of the project. Benefit. Greater) (out a I,rs. It is believed that the solution of the problem is one that is particularly fortunate in several ways. If the dis trict had been put to the cost of Building a trunk sewer at about $1,000,000 the estimated ex pense and had this been built, there would have been no benefit save as to drainage. But with a channel such as proposed In the bill soon to go before the Legislature, the district will get not only a proper drain, but will likewise be provided will. 15 miles of choice water frontage to accommodate the transcontinental and transoceanic freight that is sure to come here with the opening of the Panama Canal. This will all be done. It Is estimated, at an initial cost of about one-half of the estimated cost of constructing a trunk sewer. Not only Is it proposed to relieve the drainage conditions of the district In this manner, but another feature of the plan is that, by the creation of the district as proposed, it will be possible for the district to bond, so that the cost to the property-owners will not only be less, but It will be possible to spread it over a period of probably BO years, so that the payments to all will be very easy. Bennett Plan. In Harmony. "We feel certain," said Mr. Iaber, who has given the project much deep thought, "that we have found the only solution of our troubles by the crea tion of this proposed district. We be lieve that everyone w;l" be satisfied with the arrangement and that, when completed, this project will have added very materially to the water frontage of Portland and will provide a means whereby the Peninsula will have a vast growth, to the manifest advantage ot the entire city. "It is certain that the creation of 15 miles more of waterfront, where deep water shipping may bo handled, will result In untold good to the city," he continued. "There will be cheap manu facturing sites there, where Industries may be established, and I also wish to call attention to the fact that the Bennett plans contemplate such a chan nel, as Mr. Bennett pointed out that at this place Is the proper outlet for trans. continental freight exchange. It will be possible for the ocean traffic, to be transferred to the cars that can be run alongside of the docks there, or vice versa." At present the district is without adequate means of drainage. Cesspools are being used, but with the fast de velopment of the section. It is agreed that the time has come when active operations must be commenced In or der that the problem may be worked out successfully and be completed for the opening of the Panama Canal. It is anticipated that there will be no opposition to the proposed district by any member of the Multnomah County delegation at the Legislature. Those Interested In the work believe that the bill will be passed without any parley whatever and that the plan may be put into operation without any unnecessary delay. , .The Port of Portland and the United States Governrnent will do a part of the work along the channel, thereby lessening the cost of the same -to the property-owners in the district. One of the features of the plan is that there shall be gates at the olumbia River end of the slough so that sufficient water may be let in when needed for the proper flow of the channel.
