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.

Fred Golderman, Street Faker of Early Day, Shows by Actual Demonstration Wisdom of Not Trying to "Buck

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
