Handling. Shipping,
Tle following la the report made at
yesterday's meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce by the Navigation Commit
tec of that body regarding the proposed
new Alblna ferry:
Portland Chamber of Commerce. Port
land: Gentlemen Tour Navigation
Committee, to whom you referred the
matter of the extra Alblna ferry, beg
to report a follows:
The committee la unanimously and
strongly averse to anything which will
Interfere with the facility und safety of
handling shipping, and therefore Is
gainst any ferry which must .be run
on a cable, as taking np necessary room
for anchorage of ships, as when any
cable is laid serosa the river on which
to run a ferryboat, it requires a clear
space of too feet on each side of the
cable, to be kept clear of iihtps, so tha
there Is no ehano t their fouling the
cable; room for anchorage, which is al
ways required during the lowest stage
of water, Is by reason of said low water,
very limited, and at best will Dot ac
commodate more than six, eight at the
most, ship
No vessels are allowed to anchor
south of the present table ferry to the
steel bridge, consequently It is to be
presumed that no vessels would be al
lowed to anchor south of any other
Able, and therefore the anchorage
woaW be very BdHCh curtailed. Also,
tn cases of high water, the cable la
more or less. ea;ths tep of the river,
except when "the ferryboat Is right at
her dock, which la a menace to passing
boats "fend 'Vessels.
, . All - lessens- or tf not every vessel,
'pretty nearly so, are required by the
'owners of docks to leave said dock.
. and going into the stream, as soon as
! i they complete their ilsading. during the
sassy season, which s the season or low
water as stated above, and it frequently
happens that vessels Inward bound
have to lay In the stream until their
dock may be ready ta receive them
From all of which, we think you will see
that another cable ferry below the pres
ent one, and In too neighborhood of Al
bins, would very seriously Interfere
with shipping.
; Recognising that another ferry to the
'north, of the present one might be of
. eun enlence (although we are Informed
ion the best authority by parties who
are In favor of another ferry that there
is no immediate necessity for It), to a
number of people, your committee has
i inquired Into tht feasibility of running
' a ferry across, the river without a
cablet and from the very best Informs
... tlc-n which we can get. this seems to be
Vqulte possible without Interfering un
duly with shipping.
Therefore your committee, after the
moat careful consideration, strongly
, condemns another, or any, ferry across
the Willamette River run on a cable,
bat if it is thought best to hav an
other ferry, running without a cable.
bad especially If it be on condition that
the present cable be removed, the com
mittee is of the opinion that this can
be done without any harm to shipping
. interests, at the same time the commit
tee toes not find that there is any gen
eral demand for another ferry immedi
ately. Respectfully submitted,

Most aeiittiUorutl complications hsve

United Bute Commissioner H. P. Strong

Schmidt has for years had complete
control of the RussStn vote in this city
snd is known to be a political sympa
thiser with the "Ankeny mnchlne. which
is being fought most bitterly by the
boxer" Republican. Recently Schmidt
engaged in a fistic encounter with Emll
Sanderson, an antl-Ankrny partisan, and
It is claimed his arrest has followed as
a means of retaliation.
Senator Levi Ankeny' went Schmidt's
bond.
JBattle Is Bitter.
The campaign has become a contest
In which personal feelings sway the ao
tions of the candidates and their hench
men. Both sides are leaving no stone
unturned to have their men put Into

nd the outlook for Monday- election

It is generally eonoeded that Gilbert
Hunt, the present incumbent, will be re
elected Mayor by about lit mapority.
The tight on the raarshalthlp has been

it will go. Jerry Drown, the "boxer

Th all-important question among the
stockholders of the Lewis and Clark
Fair Corporation seems to be, "Who la
to be made president V This question
was not decided at yesterday's meeting
of the directors, nor will It be settled
until the latter part of this month. In
the meantime the members of the board
of directors are discussing among them
selves the men whom they think would
1111 the plsce In a manner most proper.
It Is reported that T. B. Wilcox,
president of the Portland Flouring Mills
Company, was not only offered the
position, but that many of the directors
of the Fair corporation urged him very
strongly to accept. The conference be
tween Mr. Wilcox and the several di
rectors held last Thuraday lasted until
3 p. m., when he finally decided that it
would be impossible for him to accept
the position. It Is reported that Mr.
Wilcox was offered a salary of 1600 per
month and was to be allowed the same
amount monthly for expenses. Other
business will not permit his taking the
presidency of the 1906 Fair, hence he
declined the offer.
X. X. rielacaner Mentioned.
Among the other prominent men men
ttoned for the office of president Is I. N
Flelschner. at present a member of the
board of directors and chairman of the
press and publicity committee. HI
friends urge that he Is not only an active
buslnesa man. but that he has the time
to attend to th work as it should be at
tended to. They say that Mr. Flelschner
has always taken a most active part In
the pushing of the Lewis and Clark Fair,
and that he Is familiar with almost
every detail of the work already done
or proposed.- "And, say these friends,
"Mr. Flelschner is a rustler, possesses
great executive ability and is an honest
worker.
Paul Wesslnger, also a member of the
board of directors, and Acting President
IL W. Scott, have also been mentioned
as good men for the place. It is said that
Mr. Wesslnger has stated that he has
too much outside work to attend to, and
could not accept the position. It Is also
said that Mr. Scott told several of hti
friends some time ago that he would
rather have someone other than himself
elected to the office.
But it seems to be the general opinion
that the new president will be a Port
land man. In this connection W. D
Wheelwright has been urged to accept
the position and it Is the opinion of
many who are versed In the duties de
volvlng upon the active head of such
an Important commtsslon that he is the
man above all others who would fill the
bill to perfection.
