l'lTE SUNDAY ORKGOIVIATC, POKTXAXD, FEBRUARY 16, 1913. MULTI11 VEIS HAVE BIG SPREAD A. M. Ellsworth in Command of Organization at An nual "Gridiron." BANDON LIGHTOUSE IS ENDANGERED BY WAVES Neck of Sand Connecting Station With Mainland Disappearing and Pro tection or Removal Is Regarded as Imminent. SPEECHMAKING IS FUNNY Dr. Mackey, Discussing Bill 338 Compelling Delicatessen Stores to Remain Closed on Sunday, Characterizes More Moral. Jokes of all sorts and vintage, gibes, cross-fires and rebuttals of every hua poured across a miniature Multnomah amphitheater in the breakfast-room at the Arlington Club last nigbL the occa sion being the annual gridiron "spread" of th "Veterans," an organization em bracing the first 300 members of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club. Nearly half a hundred of the original scarlet - white boosters were seated around the banquet board, with A. M. Ellsworth, the retiring president of the club. In command. Some of the speechmaking was ex tremely funny, the programme being as follows: Programme Is Varied. "The Multnomah System." C. T. Swlgert: "House Bill 338," Dr. A. E. Mackay: "The Cruelty of Combined In terests." R. L. Gllsan; "The True Mult nomah Spirit." J. F. Ewingr: "The Re call of the Judges," H. E. Judge: song, "The Suffragette March," Dom J. Zan; "The Balkan Situation From a Hun garian Standpoint," H. W. Wallace; story, J. H. Murphy: "What Shall the Morrow Bring Forth," Judge R. G. Mor row; "The Committee," R. C. Hart. In discussing bill 338, compelling delicatessen stores to remain closed on Sundays, Dr. Mackay characterized the move as a great moral advance. "Of course. It is tremendously foolish," he admitted on cross-questioning. In a forceful address R. L. Glisan emphasised and demonstrated the cruel ty of combined great Interests by cit ing the action of the Philadelphia brewers, who have decided to permit employes only seven beers per day. J Judge Covers Tears. H. E. Judge waxed reminiscent In his talk on "The Recall of the Judges.' But lust when he had reached an in teresting pause in his recital of how farmer had mistaken him for one of the Judges at a poultry show, through bear ing his friends refer to him as "Judge,1 C. F. Swlgert brought the house down by asking if the farmer missed the mark very far when he figured him a good judge of chickens. The dinner was the 13th annual of the "veterans," and commemorated the 21d anniversary of the founding of the Multnomah. Club. v 0 y s"frnf i 1 1 safe COftUILLE LIGHTHOUSE, OK WHOSE!

(Spe ciaD The CJatskania basketball team defeated the St. Johns High fechool team here today by a score of 32 to 17. ANDON, Or.. Feb. 15. (Special.) The Coqullle River lighthouse Is having Its position contested by the waves and in time will be forced to transfer to a more secure place across the river from its present location. If the Government does not take imme diate steps to prevent the destructive force of the breakers. The lighthouse Is situated on a point extending into the ocean on the north bank of the Coqullle River. This point is connected with the main land by a narrow neck of sand. During a heavy storm of a few weeks ago the ocean forced Its way across this narrow neck of sand. A succession of such storms would soon open this passage, making a new channel for the river, and surrounding the light house by the ocean. Thus surrounded the lighthouse would be put out of commission because of the height and force of the breakers on all sides. Nine years ago the north bank of the river extended 400 feet further south than it does now and the place once occupied by the old Government warehouse Is 400 feet within the river bed, and the lighthouse is left on a small peninsula. The Coqullle River lighthouse was established in 18S5 at a time when only two or three small schooners visited Bandon harbor, and was established as a third-class establishment. Now there are 18 oceangoing steamers and schoon era making weekly visits to Bandon wharves carrying out thousands of tons of merchandise. Sixty-five million feet of lumber crossed the bar In iD12, so It 1b considered not only Important that the safety of the presentation be as sured but that it be elevated to a first-class establishment. The keeper. Captain O. Wlren, has oeen in charge 17 years. 400 W.LL TAKE NUT PORTLAND TURXTEREIN PRE PARES BIO PROGRAMME.

Ill-Fated Vessel Under Contract to Exporting Company Also Having Charter on Foundered Brit ish Craft Torrlsdale. WHEELER, Or., Feb. 15. (Sped aL) The Ml ml mas left high and dry at low tide today. Three of the crew re mained ou board to watch the ship. Captain Westpnall vrlll leave for Port. land la the marnlns to consult with the Tmtl'i agents rrsjardlns; an at tempt to get the bark off the beach. Attempts are to be made to float the stranded German four-masted bark Mimi from the sand one mile and a half north of the Nehalem River Jetty, ac cording to a message received yester day by Captain Albert Crowe, who was asked to give his opinion as to the feasibility of making the effort. The query came from the owner, H. H. Schmidt, of Hamburg. Captain Crowe replied that he was firmly of the opinion" that the vessel could be floated, hta Idea being to place mushroom anchors In deep water and, with the use of lengthy cables running to a donkey engine, take up the slack and keep the lines as taut as possible. He says that If the anchors could be placed In fair weather and the lines run, heavy weather during the time the work of moving the ship was In progress would not be a hin drance, for each sea would Jar the vessel and serve to make it easier to haul her out. As she can be reached at low tide, he thinks It would not be difficult to get the necessary gear aboard. Captain L. Veysey. Lloyd's surveyor here, says he expects, in view of the position of the vessel, that she will be declared a constructive total loss. The Mlmi was built n 1893 at Glas gow and is 283 feet long, with a beam of 43 feet and depth of hold of 24.5 feet She loaded grain here about four years ago. The bark was under charter to Comyn, Mackall & Co. to load lumber here for Antofogasta and was to have received a rate of 61s 3d. The same firm had under charter the British bark Torrlsdale. which went ashore on West- port Beach, near Grays Harbor, several weeks ago and was sold by the under writers. It is reported that as soon as tides are favorable an effort will be made to sret that vessel off the beach. after pumping out the and. Deep wa ter is said to be available and. while hr masts mav be removed to faclli tate righting her. It is expected that virtually all of her gear win oe saivou. Customs Collector Goes to Mlmi.

The Ruth piled up at the moutn or me tiscmmu uc morning last month, when bound here with n. full load. As considerable time was passed In raising her It was feared Kh had suffered materially, but the da ma are was much less than estimated, There was no noie in ner nun, inougn the straining when she struck and settled, being so heavily loaded, caused ho butts to be starxea in places anu she leaked badly. The steamer Elmore u leased from the o.-w. K. & n., to run in her place and it Is supposed the Ruth will be on the run again curing the nresent week. The Tahoma is to resume service- tomorrow and The Dalles City will leave Tuesday for The Dalles, it being reported yesterday that the river had risen three-tenths oi a foot there, the wind had shifted to the west so the temperature rose to between 40 and 45 degrees, and every evidence was seen that the ice block ing the channel near Memaloose Island was breaking up.

The question of whether sulphur lm ported from Japan was crude or re fined was taken up, also the one of the alleged "excessive outage" on sake, a Japanese llouor. Sake Is Imported in casks con talnlnc 18 gallons, and the Government only allows 2 per cent "outage or shrinkage and leakage. Importers con. tend that they should pay duty only on the amount remaining In the casks on delivery. The matter of admitting oak and other hard woods free of dutyv which is permissible when they are In tended for cabinet purposes, was one of the subjects. Materials of the character not so used pay a duty of 'M cent on each cubic foot. BOND FOR FUNDS APPROVED North Portland Harbor Dredging to Start Shortly.
