OF SUCCESS FIDS ONE ADVANTAGE PRISONERS HAD. Crowds Throng to Historic Craft Al though Thermometer Soars te 95 All Over the City. There was an advantage prisoners on this ship must have enjoyed over tbelr wardens and that was that they were much cooler in hot weather than the officers above," observed Captain Smith, of the British convict ship Suc cess yesterday, after a tour below decks. The thermometer then registered so degrees, according to the Weather Bu reau observations, and Captain Smith estimated that It was at least 10 de gerees cooler In the 'tween-decks and lower, hold of the vessel. There were hundreds of sightseers who evidently appreciated the . cooler conditions be low, for the ship drew many. In spite of warm weather ashore. This being the last Sunday tne buc- cess passes at Portland it is thought that she will be inrongeo irora morn ing until night. The evening crowds have been large during the past week, the river breezes being welcomed after the heat of the day and the poopdeck of the vessel is made a favorite lounging place. Arrangements have been made to close the Success Tuesday night and she will probably leave early Wednes day morning for Seattle. , Bootlegger "Caught in Act." KLAMATH FALLS. Or.. Aug. 21. especial) Sheriff C. C. Low today I Swan Island Purchase j by Portland Is Urged President of Port Commission Points Out Advan- tages Possible for City Without Inroads I Into Funds by 30 Small An- . t nual Payments. Whether Swan Island becomes the property of the Port-of Port- 0 land rests largely with the public, as an offer has been made of the a land, which has an area of 372 acres, and the Commission is to take some action In the matter September 9. The price Is placed at $300,000, 1 though payments are to eztend over a period of SO years if the recom- mendations of S. M. Mears, president of the Commission, are adopted, a Mr. Mears thinks that the property could be handled without o serious inroads being made into the funds of the Port at any one time by paying $10,000 each year, the balance of the purchase price to draw 3 per cent interest. He recommends that the Commission make J a counter proposition to the owners and that the extended payment idea be included. The Reed Institute controls the largest part, about o six-eighths. In placing the matter before other members of the Port Commis- sion Mr. Mears has set forth his ideas as to the future value of the island and his recommendations, as follows: Objections to Deposits Cited. a "As you are all well aware, it is getting more difficult eah year to find a place where we can conveniently deposit material that we J dredge from the harbor channel. Furthermore, the dredging of the J lower harbor has been postponed from year to year and when that Is ' undertaken there is going to be a good deal of material to deposit o somewhere. You know that even at the present time, when we are ? only dredging the 300-foot channel through the lower harbor, ob- 2 Jections have been raised by the Dock Commission to our depositing the material on the O.-W. R. & N. Co.'s property, known as the "bone- yard." "At our last meeting the Dock Commission expressed the opinion that none of the waterfront should be filled within 1000 feet of tho 2 harbor line so that if they shoud desire to condemn any waterfront 2 property in the future they will be in position to improve it by slip a and dock construction, without the expense of moving any material o that we may have deposited. "Personally I think this is looking a preat distance ahead on the 2 part of the Dock Commission and giving scant consideration to water 2 front property holders. One could be almost sure that none of the e Dock Commissioners are waterfront owners. If the Commission Is a enabled to win the public over to their point of view, it is going to o eliminate all close at hand dumping ground for our dredging. Z ' Additional Expense Shown. "The only remaining place that I know of that would contain any a considerable yardage would be Guilds Lake and thia would neces o sitate pumping material for a mile and a half or two miles, which of 2 course adds to the expense of dredging. I understand from the owners 2 ' of Mocks Bottom that they do not want material deposited In there because they contemplate at some future time putting In slip docks o and what they would dredge out from the slips would fill the rest of the land. ' Use of Barges Impossible. "Even 1f the desires of the Dock Commission are not backed by 2 the community It is only a question of a few years when we will have filled all the near by places. Whereas, if the Port owned Swan o Island the dredged material could be deposited upon it for some time to come, without any bulkheading. and as time went on It could be bulkheaded into a reduced area aan filled up to above high-water 2 mark. 2 "At the same time it furnishes the Port with a convenient low a cost place for dumping their dredfrings and it would eventually build up a valuable piece of property for the city, besides making It possible for the Port, as its requirements necessitated, to widen 2 the channel on one or both sides of the island. 2 "Possibly the public does not appreciate that with our character of dredge we could not put the material into barges and haul the same down the river. To do that would require th building of either an a endless chain, bucket dredge or a clamshell dredge with the accom- panying self-dumping barges, which would cost as much as we would pay for the island and the expense a yard of the material taken out would probably be 100 per cent more, 2 "The additional expense is gone forever, while ijulldlng up the e Island would ultimately return part If not all the cost. "We know that the Port is handicapped In getting drydock patron- age by being so far away from the machine shop center, which makes it difficult and expensive for bidders on the repair work to 2 transport material and labor. I assume that the public d"es not ap 2 preciate that practically all the repair work is done by outside parties bidding on each job. All that we do is the docking of the vessel. We are not supposed or authorized to bid on the work. This a would be In opposition to the taxpaying machine shop firms , and would be an Injustice to them, furthermore it would not be proflt 2 able for the Port to maintain a mechanical crew there considering the limited amount of work to be done. e 2 . Captains Dislike Distance We also know that as a rule we have the opposition of the 2 captains on account of our location being so far from the city center which makes it difficult for them to get to and from their vessels, as there Is no means of transportation nearer than the St. Johns o ear, which lands them about one mile from the dock. The only Jobs we are sure of are vessels too large to go on the Oregon drydock. 2 "The city maintains the dock for the express purpose of as- surtng vessel owners that there is an opportunity to dock laree-sized vessels at this Port if necessary, which is a requirement that Is es- sential for every deep-sea port. There are not sufficient vessels of large size docking in this port to warrant private capital to Invest In 2 a 10.000-ton dock, which Is the capacity of our dock. 2 "An Incinerator coujd be placed upon, the south end of the Island a and garbage taken there by barges. Receiving barges could he" con- veniently located at the foot of different waterfront streets. This o would save a great deal of transportation through the city of the 2 garbage wagons and consequently should cost less. S Bulkhead Is Proposed. "It would be a good site for a city hospital and a portion of it, if desired, could be used for a Park. "What is probably more to the point, when the shipping of the 2 Port demands it. a bulkhead above high water could be put across e the south end of the Island to tha west side with a common-user a track over it to the terminal yards and both the Island side and the mainland could be used for 3llp construction method of dockage with warehouses on both sides. . "This would create a basin of still water, regardless of a freshet In the Winter, and could accommodate a great deal of shipping and warehousing coveniently located to the jobbing center of the city. It might occasionally be necessary to dredge this out. but the Port having the equipment for the work, it would not be a very heavy expense. "This general scheme could be undertaken at any time In the future perhaps ten years hence, but It would provide a place so that private property would not have to be condemned. Convenience as Mooring Cited. "A bulkhead along the south point of the Island, sloping down stream, would be a convenient place for mooring vessels instead of having' them anchored out in the harbor. They would take up much less room this way. "When the Port sees fit to move the drydock to the island, which would probably be when the present pile dock has to be renewed, the present dock site could be sold for a sum that would go a long way toward paying for the Island. "A year or more ago the question of purchasing the Island for $300,000 and building docks, etc., at that point, was proposed and agitated through the papers and a scheme outlined for spending about $5,000,000. I think the purchase of the Island by the Port of Portland would head off any further scheme of that sort and be a protection, to the taxpayers. - It would also prevent any further effort to get a bridge across at that point, as an obstruction to commerce, such as the present bridges have proved to be and are pushing the shipping down the river. "Having drawn your attention to what appear to me to be con , vlnclng reasons for the Port owning the Island, I ask you to express any counter reasons that may occur to you and by vote express the majority decision as to what final answer I shall give the owners."
