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.

PORTLAND CAHGO GOES FAST
American-Hawaiian Delivers at Xcw
York in 20 Dayd.
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.

I remember the sea from old North
Head
r ! c t IaaUmi an nlue.
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.
While the now peaceful waves gently

And in calm beauty smile as before.

Country High School Fund Not
to Apply at Present.
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.
The adoption of the law In Multno-I
cies Included in unpaid certificates of
evidence and various expenses that are
covered by law.
Thm cnmnlstn itnmi7.H statement Of
these expenses is as follows:

mah County was fathered particularly
by School Superintendent Robinson, his
object being to throw the high schools
of the city open to country children and
to provide county-wide financial assist
ance to the establishment of high
schools in rural communities unable of
themselves to support such schools.
"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.
RE-ELECTEDCLERK QUITS
E. B. Waters, of Harney County.
Resigns After Qualification.
BURNS, Or., Jan. IX. (Special.)
E. B. Waters, who has been County
Clerk the past two years and who was
re-elected last November by a big ma
jority over Democratic and Socialist
opponents, qualified for office the first
of the week, only to hand In his resig
nation Tuesday evening to the County
Court. Mr. Waters' physical condition
has been in very bad ahape for some
time and he did not consider It safe
for him to attempt to continue In of
fice. The qualification anew was sim
ply that he might be in a position to
resign so that an appointment could be
made and not make a new election nec
essary. The court appointed to the vacancy
Reuben T. Hughet, who has been a
deputy in tha office and is a respon
sible and reliable citizen. He Is a Re
publican. Mr. Waters probably will take up his
life In the mountains again, where his
health will be better. He is a. son of
the late Captain A. W. Waters, of this
city, and a ctusln of Waters brothers,

Dredging of Columbia Slough
Included in $500,000 Sew
erage Project.
LEGISLATURE'S AID SOUGHT
J. H. N'olta and I. X. 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.
Vainlilll "Levy I Fixed.
McMINNVILLE. Or.. Jan. 11. (Spe
cial.) The County Court made the levy
for this year's taxes at 19 mills, appor
tioned as follows: General fund, .0105;
road, .004; county school, .0034: county
high school, .0011; McMfnnvllle's city
levy added will make 1013 taxes at
.03851. and .Newberg's rate Is .04101.
This is a slight increase over last year,
when taxes were higher than ever
known to this county and to McMinn
ville., .
