Ex-Senator Fulton Charges
Railroads With Holding
Down Portland Trade.
PUGET SOUND GOES AHEAD
Tie fusal to Grant Terminal Hates
to Mouth of Columbia Blamed
for Iioss of Inland Empire
" and Foreign Commerce.
Tfcat the railroads have erected a
tariff wall discriminating- against the
ports of the Columbia. River that must
be torn clown before Portland can hope
to gain her full share of foreign com
merce, was the central idea of an frd
3ress delivered before the Portland
Realty Board Friday "noon by ex
UjiUed States Senator C. W. Fulton.
UTie meeting was marked by the at
tendance of a large number of Port
land's heaviest taxpayers who were re
cently elected to affiliate membership
in the board. At the conclusion of
Mr. Fulton's address E. L. Thompson
moved that the board file a protest
with the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion setting forth the main facts given
in Mr- Fulton's paper, and the motion
prevailed by unanimous vote. J. N".
Teal was also called, upon and gave a
talk fortifying Mr. Fulton's arguments.
O. Lewis Mead acted as chairman of
the day.
Situation Termed Remarkable,
Mr. Fulton said, in part:
A comparison of the foreign commerce of
the Columbia River with that of the Puget
bound presents a most remarkable spectacle
snfl. to every resident of a Columbia River
port, a painful and humiliating one. In
3S87 the foreign commerce of the Columbia
was $7,000,000, while that of Puget Sound
was only 52,000,000, or less than one-third.
The Columbia Klver continued to lead until
3 when the Puget Sound foreign com
merce was $6,173,439, while that of the Co
lumbia River was but $5,116,502. From that
date the commerce of the Sound has stead
ily forged ahead, never thereafter being
equalled by that of the Columbia. Last year
the figures were, for the Columbia River
$23,000,000. for the Sound $136,000,000.
Now we know certain physical facts which
would seem to make such a situation Impos
sible. We know that the Columbia River is,
a a prominent newspaper of this city has
graphically satd, "the only river in the
United States that breaks through the moun
tains to the sea." "We know that it is the
natural outlet and commercial highway for
all the products of that great and marvelous
section extending from the Pacific Ocean to
the Rocky Mountains, and from far into
British Columbia to Northern California.
Columbia Haul Down Grade.
We know that from the Inland Empire to
the sea by the Columbia River route is a
down grade, gravity haul, and that from
that same section to Puget Sound traffic
mimt be lifted over mountain passes rising
from 30 00 to 5000 feet above sea level, and
yet we know that the great bulk of the
products of the Inland Empire go over these
mountain ranges rather than down the grav
ity route. We know that at the entrance to
the Columbia there is a depth of 06 feet at
low tide and of over 43 feet at high tide,
sufficient to float securely the largest vessels
that sail the seaa, making the mouth of the
CoUimbia today one of the world's greatest
harbors. All these facts we know, and yet
we bee the freight originating in, as well
a that destined to, the Inland Empire and
Jar beyond, passing over the mountain
ranges, refusing the water level route to and
from the sea. Indeed, more humiliating
till, we Fee thousands of tons of freight
originating at and destined to this, our own
port of Portland, and ports west of us on
the Columbia River, shipped to Puget Sound
ports to be placed on board of ships for
foreign ports or brought to Puget Sound
porta and from there shipped to us by rail
as If we were nothing but Inland towns.
Rate Extension Refused.
Portland has never been able to make any
use of her Astoria sub-port, simply because
the railway lines have constantly refused to
extend to the mouth of the Columbia the
rarno rates that they have extended to com-
reting ocean ports. As I have satd, in phys--al
advantages the mouth of the Columbia
ranks, as a port, with San Francisco and
Puget Sound, yet has never been accorded
qual rates with any Sound port, while
comparatively small and Insignificant ports
such as WlHapa Harbor and Gray's Harbor
have been for year granted lower freight
rates to and from the inland empire than
have been permitted any port on the Lower
Columbia; Indeed, strange as it may seem,
have been granted rates on a parity with
l'UKet Sound ports.
Those who have not looked into this mat
ter have no conception of the rank, intol
erable injustice the commerce of the Colum
bia has suffered by reason of the discrimina
tions against it in freight rates. It is this
discrimination that haa compelled millions
of tons of commerce naturally tributary to
J'ortland and the Columbia River ports to
olimh the mountain heights between Puget
Found and the inland empire. Has,, In fact,
driven commerce from the very heart or
Portland to the Sound.
Portland Reaps No Advantage.
In this connection it must be remembered
that between almost every competitive point
In the Inland Empire and Portland the dis
tance is shorter than between such point
nod any Sound port, while to Portland is a
water-level grade as against a mountain
grade to the Sound. Portland, therefore,
reaps no advantage from either her shorter
distance or her water grade.
If it be true, and it is true, that the port
of Seattle consists not only of Seattle but
the entire Puget Sound, It is equally true
that the port of Portland extends from her
docks to the ocean. And it Is true beyond
quest ion that every condition and every
event which contributes to swell the com
merce of that zone enhances the importance
of Portland and contributes to her growth,
lier wealth, her commercial power and in
fluence. When the tariff chains which now enthrall
the commerce of the Columbia shall be
broken, when every ocean port on the Co
lumbia shall be placed on a parity with the
ports of Pugot Sound, then Portland can
utilize her sup-ports, and then, and not until'
then. will her foreign commerce talcs rank
In volume and value with the greatest ports
of the Pacific.
FISH STREAMS STOCKED

A pack train of mules, the property
of the forestry service, is engaged in
rarrying fish from the hatchery at
Bonneville to the streams in the forest
reserve along the Columbia Highway.
It is the intention of the State Fish
and Game Commission to make the
Columbia Highway a mecca fpr anglers
so that it will have an added attrac

Just how many fish will be carried
to stock these streams will not be
known until the ponds have been ex

05CAR FIGMAM, who adds to the
gaiety of nations by his clever
work as a comedian, has made an
other success in his interpretation of
the role of T. Boogs Johns in the Ed
ward Peple farce, "A Pair of Sixes,"
which H. H. Frazee will present at the
Heilig Theater again on October 14, 15
and 16.
He was with the original company
when the play was first produced in
New York. His clever characteriza
tions are the real thing. There is back
of it more than two decades of service
in the best companies. He has been
featured in this country in such suc
cesses as "The Fin rirorri nitur " "Tli
"Merry Widow" and "Madame Sherry"
ana otner hits of the popular vogue,
and is an all-around favorite with the
discriminating playgoer.
In "A Pair of Sixes" he has made
the biggest hit of his career. In the
presentation of this successful farce
in this city Mr. Fipnan will be as
sisted by the New York cast, which
includes Kate Guyon, George Lefting
well, Rita Carlyle, Jack Raffael, Ethel
Wilson, Richard Earle. Eleanor Fair
banks, Bryce Kennedy and many
others of equal merit.
When Eleanor Fairbanks was first
exploited on Broadway, during the run
of the "Chocolate Soldier," in which
she created the role of Nadina, and
later when she appeared in other
musical successes of the popular
vogue, pretty much everybody arrived
at the' conclusion that she was bound
Friday. Deputy District Attorney Col
lier, who prosecuted, opposed the parole.
Barringer was given the usual sen
tence of one to five years in the Peni
tentiary. The Jury which convicted him
recommended leniency.
Leo J. Cameron, charged with the
theft of money and jewelry from a
woman, drew a sentence of from one
to 10 years at Salem. Earl Klsby, who
violated a parole, was sent to Salem for
from one to five years, his original sen
tence. River Captain Dies at South Bend.

IEXCES PUZZLED.
Masculine and Feminine Rolea Played
With J:qol Ease and Voice
Falls to Betray.
"Is she a man or Is he a woman?" is
the way the programme introduces
Ray Monde, character impersonator,
and one of the features on the new bill
at the Empress Theater this week.
This was the topic of the conversation
of all those who attended the per
formance at the Majestic Theater in
Chicago, where Monde was the feature
attraction, and created one of the
biggest sensations of the season. Hun
dreds of Chicago theater-goers were
interested In the mystery, and as yet
none has discovered whether Monde is
a man or a woman. Dressed in natty
evening male attire upon entering the
stage, .Monde has them all guessing.
His (or her) figure is unmistakably
girlish, and he or she has two distinct
voices, which are interchanged so
cleverly that it is difficult to say which
Is assumed. But the real fun comes
when Monde removes a feminine wig
and discloses a .boy's neatly trimmed
head. You have just told the person
in the next chair that you knew it was
a man all the time, when off comes
another wig revealing a wealth of
feminine tresses that fall carelessly
over the impersonator's shoulders, who
then makes a quick change and ap
pears in a beautiful gown, displaying
a pretty form.
Again you come right back with the
merry "Ha, Ha." and Ray Monde doffs
the female wig, the mystery remains
unsolved even at the finish of the act.
Hundreds have attended the perform
ance a third and fourth time in many
cities where Mor.de has appeared to
try and solve the mystery.

took to the rain like "ducks to water."

PATBOL SAVING CITED
Mayor Declares Police Autos
Will Aid in Protection.
CUTS IN FORCE PLANNED
Positions, Now Carried', but Vacant
Because or Quiet Times, Will
Be Done Away With and Need
Met by Cars, Is Declaration.
Cutting off of four police sergeants
at 1105 a month each; six patrolmen
at $80 a month each; sale of 12 horses
for a total of 800; elimination of $3500
a year or more in horse feed and keep
and cutting out many of the long
runs for the big police patrol wagons,
are the items of saving mentioned by
Mayor Albee in his plan to buy five
automobiles for police patrol service in
the residence section.
The machines will cost $2450 and the
cost for upkeep with be $2500 a year
for all.
The Mayor declared yesterday that
the plan which he will urge before
the budget meetings next week is one
of economy. He says the saving will
be $10,000 a year over and above the
cost of the machines and the cost of
their maintenance. In addition, he
says, the residence districts will get
better police protection than they do
at present with patrolmen on horses
or on foot and there will be more po
licemen for the business districts.
The Mayor says he is surprised, that
there should be opposition to the plan
in face of the fact that it is one
strictly of economy.
Savins f Time la Cited.
"We have police beats in Portland
which are many miles in length and
have to be covered by men on foot,"
said the Mayor yesterday. "In some
cases. If the policeman should walk
eight miles an hour for eight hours he
could only cover his beat once. With a
small runabout, four or five such beats
could be policed by two policemen and
the trips coud be made often.
"The machines will be of great serv
ice in riot calls or emergency calls.
They would often save the expense of
running the big patrol wagons -out to
Linnton. St. Johns or other far out
lying residence-districts. Policemen in
the cars, upon making an arrest, could
take their prisoners direct to the sta
tion or the hospital without having to
call for the patrol wagon. New ma
chines could be purchased every year
and still the saving over present con
ditions woud be $10,000 with far greater
police protection.
Positions to Be Cut Now Vacant.
"There Is a call for economy and
still a greater call for additional po
lice protection, and especially at night.
Here Is a chance for both demands to
be filled at one time. And still there
is opposition."
The positions which the Mayor pro
poses to cut off are being carried at
present as vacancies, the places having
become vacant by dismissals and res
ignations. They have been carried as' vacancies
for several months because of condi
tions being quiet, but could not be
kept vacant, he says. If things were
not quiet. The Mayor says the coming
of prohibition should be sufficient
grounds for an increased police force
rather than a decrease because of the
bootlegging problem.
