THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND, DECEMBEP 31, 1916. REVIEW Additional $80,000 for Im provement of Coos Bay Rec ommended in Report. OTHER WORK TO CONTINUE Sa lance on Hand Sufficient for Op eration of Celilo Canal Upper Willamette Work Has Reg ulated Freights. OTtEGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Dec. 29. Progress of work on the various river and harbor improve mpnis in tho Northwest Is discussed in considerable detail in the annual re port of the chief of engineers, covering the fiscal year that ended June 30, 1316. An appropriation of $80,000 is recom mended to continue the improvement of Coos Bay. This is In addition to an unexpended balance of $96,576. The available balance will be expended in maintaining and operating the dredge Mirhie in continuing the improvement and maintenance of the entrance chan nel, and In the operation of the dredge Oregon in tho maintenance of the bay channels to the project depth to June 30. 1917, as estimated and outlined in the last annual report. The inner chan nels are shoaling considerably and It is expected dredging will be necessary during the fiscal year 1917. Unexpended Balance Available. An appropriation of only $5000 Is recommended for the Siuslaw River, and that for maintenance, but for ac tual construction work there is avail able an unexpended balance of $52,099. There is no need for further appropria tion for the old Tillamook Bay project, other than $5000 for maintenance, tho full amount of the continuing contract having been previously made available by Congress. Of this project the chief of engineers says: "A survey of the channel between Tillamook and Bay City, made in June, 1916, shows a controlling depth of four aMt at mean lower low water in a channel of 60 feet minimum width. A purvey of (he. entrance, made June 24. J 91 6, shows a controlling depth of 16 feet at mean lower low water on the bar in a channel 300 feet wide, and 12 feet on the Inner shoal. In a channel K00 feet wide, which is about 4000 feet from the crest of the bar. The par tial construction of the north jetty has fixed tho channel across the bar. The bay channels have been maintained so that vessels drawing nine feet can safe ly navigate the hay and Tloquarten Blough to Tillamook at ordinary high title." I pper Columbia Work to On. Work on the Upper Columbia and Snake Rivers is to be continued with a proposed appropriation of $25,000, to which must be added $25,464 remaining of previous appropriations on the first of the fiscal year. To complete this project, will cost $125,000 or $100,000 after the newly recommended appro priation becomes available. There is a balance of $47,999 on hand to continue work on Coqtiille River, and no new appropriation is asked for that stream. The report says: ' "The additional work proposed in cludes maintenance of the project chan nel between the mouth and Coqtiille by dredging with the dredge Oregon, this method being considered more econom ical than by th use of the Ducket dredge, the channej having consider ably shoaled, as shown by a recent survey.'' For the Columbia River above Celilo, an appropriation of $45,000 has been recommended, $15,000 for new work, and $30,000 for maintenance. It is pro posed to continue improvement of ex isting channels through the principal elioala and rapids, using Government plant operated by hired labor. Work was suspended in March, 1916, on ac count of lack of funds, and could not be resumed until additional funds were made available. The river and harbor act of July 27, 1916. appropriated suffi cient funds to carry on the work esti mated for and these funds will be ex -' ba listed by June 30. 1917." Balance Sufficient for Canal. No appropriation is necessary for the Celilo Canal, as there is an ample bal ance on hand for its operation, and for euch work in the channels at the ap proaches as may be found necessary. Of traffic through the canal the report cays: "Since the opening of the canal. May E, 1915. a through service from Port land, Or., to Ijewlston. Idaho, has been established by one line of steamboats making a round trip every five days. The amount' of tonnage passing through the canal from May 5 to De cember 31, 1915. was 8394.3 tons, valued at $809,088, indicating the probable in crease of traffic for the river above Celilo." With an available unexpended bal ance of $52,000, an additional appro priation of $36,300 has been recom mended for the further improvement of the Willamette above Portland, $21,000 to be used for dredging, $12,000 for re pairing dikes, and $3300 for contingen cies. Discussing the effect of Improve ments already made In the upper Will amette, the report says: "The improvement has rendered pos sible regular light-draft steamboat traffic between Portland and CorvaIli3 on the Willamette River and between the mouth and Dayton on the Yamhill River during the entire year; also be tween Corvallis and Harrisburg on the Willamette River and between Dayton and McMinnville on the Yamhill River for about nine months of the year. This has resulted In controlling rail road freight rates. At points where rail and water transportation meet the rates are practically the same; for points where there is no water trans portation tne rail rates are greater than the mileage would indicate. Thu on first-class freight -from Portland to Corvallis (97 miles by rail and 119 miles by water) the rate rate per hun dred is 28 cents and the water rate 25 cents. Between Portland and Eugene where there is no water competition. the rail rate is 46 cents a hundred; the ran aistance is 124 miles. Church Workers Go to School. CENTRA L.I A. Wash.. Dec. 30.

BY ELMER E. MALLORT. F' RED GOLDERMAN was a more than ordinarily handsome man. His style of dress was extreme. including high silk hat and flashy jewelry. A diamond stud as large as a hickory nut adorned his shirt front and altogether he looked the typical street faker that he was. Fred was in the retail soap business. The soap be dealt in was not of extra quality; in fact, it was Just plain, ordinary soap, but it was formed in cubes about three quarters of an inch square and en closed In attractively-labeled pack ages. The actual value of a package of the soap was probably not more than half a cent, but Salem residents and visitors in the '70s and early '80s purchased large quantities of It at $1 a package; not that they had any particular desiie for the soap, but because a purchase of It entitled the purchaser to draw ten small envelopes out of a large basket or box, most of which envelopes con- talned tolded tissue paper. rn many of them, however, were currency bills ranging in value from $1 to $100. The soap was a sale and the chance attlic envelopes was a gift accompanying the sale. The soap part of the transaction was to avoid the possibility of Fred's arrest for conducting a lottery. Fred was an accomplished banjoist and singer, and his place of business was an open carriage located on a promi nent street corner, and he did business usually from 2 to 5 and 8 to 10 P. M. He always opened with a concert which quickly attracted a crowd. When the audience was sufficiently large he would lay aside the banjo, extol the merits of his soap, and then announce and prepare the gift box by putting in a quantity of the blanks and a consid erably less number of envelopes con taining the currency. Business Is Profitable. Business was generally brisk, and while most of the investors would lose, there would be enough winne-s largely stool-pigeons to keep up inter est and the sporting spirit, and he al- way closed business well ahead -of the game Fred made annual tours of the Coast cities and usually arranged his schedule so as to arrive at Salem dur ing State Fair week. He was a fluent talker, and kept up a steady flow of comment and anecdote that made his sessions lnterestiing even to those who were merely onlookers. The incident about to be related oc curred at one of his matinees in the late afternoon of a day during the fair of 1S78. It was closing time, his stock In trade had been packed in valises and a portion of his audience had dispersed, probably 25 or 30 persons still remain ing. An idea seemed to strike him, and addressing the remaining portion of the crowd, he said: "Gentlemen, I have done pretty well today, ana to show you my heart is In the right place 1 am going to be liberal with you. I have here three ordinary pill boxes. In one I place a $1 bill, as you see. in another a $10 bill, and in a third a $100 bill. I place them on this rail in plain sight, mix them up and now. who will give me $15 for the privilege of drawing one of the boxes and taking its contents?" He opened the boxes again and L Attitude Declared Contrary to Public Policy. VALUE $25,000 TO $30,000 Case Is One Where Motlier-in-Law, Incensed Because Girl Won Idol lied Son's Affections, Tried to Prevent Her Inheriting. The will of Sarah A. Ryman. whose jealousy of her daughter-in-law was such that she provided in her last testament that not a cnt of her es tate should be enjoyed in any man ner by her sons wire, was set aside by County Judge Cleeton yesterday morning. The entire property, valued at be tween $25,000 and $30,000, goes to Day ton Ryman, the son, without restric tion. Judge Cleeton set aside the will, not only because the late Mrs. Ryman was considered unbalanced In matters per taining to her daughter-in-law, but be cause be deemed it against public pol icy to sustain such an erratic instru ment. In her desire to shut off her son's wife from any enjoyment of the prop erty, the decedent did something that she really did not want to do she virtually cut off her own son, pointed out Judge Cleeton. Daughter-ln-Law Cat Off. The estate was left, by the will, in trust for Dayton Ryman, he to receive the net proceeds from the real prop erty during his life, provided, that none of it was spent on. or in company with, his wife. If his wife died or was divorced, he was to receive the entire estate; otherwise. It was to go to a niece and nephew in Michigan. The property left Is chiefly timber land, the income from which scarcely pays the taxes at present. No parcels could be sold and the money used for developing the rest, under the terms of the will, by Mr. t.yman, unless he was no longer married. In the fight against the will. Attor neys Malarkey. Seabrook & Dibbe en deavored to show that the late Mrs. i ill I ir mw BYMAN WIL BROKEN Sr$rzr showed that they contained the bills as stated. The pill boxes were the old fashioned kind covered with glossy, dark brown paper, and it happened that the box containing the $100 bill had a very small piece torn off Its edge at one place, leaving visible a white spon. Farmer Take Up Offer. Among the spectators was a man well known in Salem, whom we will call "Old Frank." He was an elderly man who owned a large farm not far north of Salem and was known to be pretty well-to-do, although in dress and general appearance he was a typi cal farmer. He spent much of his time In town, was a moderate drinker and. although he frequented the gambling houses, he seldom indulged in that pastime, unless he struck something on the "sure thing" order, in fact, his limited amount of gambling was large ly of the "tinhorn" variety. He was rathefr noisy and overbearing in his actions and not at all popular. Old Frank's eye had caught the flaw on the box and he lost no time in pro ducing his well-filled buckskin purse and tendering $15, but all the time keeping his eye glued on the white spot. Fred, addressing Old Frank, said: "You're a farmer I should judge. Now, I'd rather someone else would take up this offer. I don't like to deal with farmers. In the first place, as a rule, they can't afford to lose their hard earned money and besides they always put up the loudest kind of a holler if they lose." Advice Is Given. Old Frank replied: "Never mind about my being a farmer. I know what 1 am doing. Here is your money. You won't hear any complaint from me." Then Fred said: "My friend. 1 am a faker by profession and if you had seen much of the world, you would know that a faker never gets beaten at his own game. You think you can select the box containing the $100 bill, but Your- Zrdys. Ryman suffered from insane delusions concerning her daughter-in-law. Dr. A. W". Moore, the family physi cian, was a witness for the Contest ants, and Judge Cleeton said his tes timony held much weight. Dr. Moore had said that Mrs. Ryman could not exercise sound discretion where her daughter-in-law was concerned and that her hatred of ..ie young woman was violent. A. F. -Hegel, attorney for the defense, as a witness, admitted that he had tried to persuade Mrs. Uyman. unsuccessfully, against making an unfair will. Judge Cleeton quoted the will, which announced that the strange pro visions were made for the express pur pose that the daughter-in-law and none of her people might receive one penny of the property, "for the reason that she has not treated r-e as I believe a daughter-in-law should treat her husband's mother." "There was nothing in the evidence," concluded Judge Cleeton. "to Justify such a conclusion by a rational mind.'' An interesting bit of evidence at the trial was the absorbing interest SALEM COUPLE CELEBRATE GOLDEN WEDDING CHRISTMAS DAY. MR, A1VD MRS. GEORGE P. LITCHFIELD. SALEM Or., Dec. 30. (Special.) Mr. and Mrs. George P. Litchfield cele brated their golden wedding anniversary here Christmas day. George P. Litchfield and Mary A. Craft were married in Salem on Christ mas day, 1866, and have resided in this city ever since. Mrs. Litchfield is the oldest woman living in Salem, who was born in Sa lem. Mr. Litchfield has been connected, with many activities here, but of late years he has been particularly Interested in the development of the Salem Hospital and also in preserving the historic old Jason Lee Cemetery here, in which are buried many of the notable pioiieera of Oregon. 9 1 tell you you can't do It and I am In I position to know what I am saying. I don t want to take your money because your family needs It a'whoje lot more than I do." Old Frank, with his eye still on the white spot, replied: "Don't waste your time bothering about me or my family. I am older and wiser than you think. You've made a proposition which I am taking up and you don't need to worry about me, whether you are a faker or not I am Just as smart as you are." "Well," said Fred, '"as you are so Insistent despite my warning. I am go ing to accept your money, but first I want this audience to witness the fact that I again warn you that this is my game and that I know you will d'aw a one-dollar bill and will be loser Just $14. in this transaction, so now you will have no Just reason to complain. Make your draw." Dollar Boi Draira. Old Frank, knowing that Fred had not noticed the flaw, handed over the $15, selected the box he had not lost sight of during the proceedings, opened It and drew forth a dollar bill. The crowd howled and Old Frank chagrined and crestfallen walked away, certainly sadder and probably wiser than he had been. After Frank had gone. Fred spoke to the crowd, saying: "I'd like to give that moifey back: but perhaps the les son will be a good one. Now, Just to show you people why I was so positive that he would get a dollar bill. 1 will open the other boxes." This he did aniu each contained a dollar bill. Old Frank had noticed the Jjoxes. but was not sharp-eyed enough to catch the sleight- of-hand work of Gold'rman In handling the bills as he was placing them in the boxes. Addressing the crowd again. Golder- man said: "There Is no truer saying than the ancient one that 'there is a sucker born every Minute.' The truth of that saying is what makes my busi ness profitable. it Is the Inborn gambling spirit, the desire to get some thing for nothing, in practically every man's makeup that makes it possible for any reasonably shrewd faker to prosper and it isn't necessary for him to be dishonest in" the ordinary sense of that term. The evidence of the senses is a mighty unreliable basis to act upon, especially If you are dealing with a faker who knows his business, and to prove this I will illustrate, f take this pill box, fold and place this $100 bill inside a3 you see me doing. Now, I will pay 10 to any person present who will tell me corectly what Is Inside the box." Numerous guesses were made at rarv liora. most of the guesses being, of course, "$100." Kred opened the box and disclosed a neatly folded piece of tissue paper. "Take my advice and steer clear of the other fellow's game, especially if he is a professional faker. Good after noon, gentlemen." The action of the authorities under the anti-lottery laws ended Golderman's visits a few years later, and that type of street faker became obsolete. shown by Mrs. Ryman In horoscopes by which she hoped to foretell the early death of her daughter-in-law. whom she. felt had displaced her in the affection of the son she worshiped Ahortlocn Schools Overcrowded.

OREGON CITY IS GOAL Water Grade to Be Followed to Rich Timber Belt in Highland Coun try County Seat Is to Get Chance for Railroad. OREGON CITY. Or.. Dec. 30. (Spe cial.) Completion of the Portland and Oregon City Railroad between Port land and the Highland country at an early date was forecast today, when representatives of the Security Savings and Trust Company. of Portland, made arrangements here to file early next week a trust deed necessary to the issuance of $350,000 in bonds. Pa pers will probably be filed next Tuesday. The company is better known as the Carver line, and now has 13 miles of rails laid from Portland to Baker's bridge on the Clackamas River. The company plans ultimately to build a branch from Dedman station, this side of Clackamas, to Oregon City. Tho road to Highland will follow up Clear Creek to the country back of Viola. It will tap some of the richest territory In Clackamas County, coun try which now is not directly supplied by a railroad. The road up Clear Creek will follow a water grade. Large bodies of timber stand close to the track and lumber and cordwood will furnish freight for many years. H. E. Cross, local attorney for Steven Carver, president of the road, said to night that the company did not In tend to build in Oregon City at once, although a survey has been made. After the line to Highland Is complet ed and the entire road put Into sic cesssful operation. Mr. Carver prob ably will consider the construction of line to Oregon City. He had originally planned to build to Oregon City, but was discouraged by the at titude of .'cveral Oregon City business men and lost his frani-hlse by default. It is understood that the position taken by the commercial Interests of Oregon City will have an important bearing on the construction of a branch to Oregon City. Ballasting of the IT, miles already laid and the construction of the road from Baker's bridge, or Carver station, to Highland will probably begin In the Spring.

LINN County LEVY KEPT DOWN Tax of 1 Low Ml 11-2 Mills in Stale. to I'm ALBANY", Or., Dec. 30. (Special.) According to information received by County Judge McKnight. the tax levy in Linn County for the coming year is the lowest in the state, being only 1 Hi-mills. That the business of this county was in no way hamptsred by the passage of the tax limitation amendment is indi cated bv the fact that the levy this year is the same as last year, it be ing unnecessary to make any propor tion of the possible 6 per cent increase.
