The reduction system for the disposal
of the city's garbage Is what the wo
men's clubs of Portland want, and they
r-oint out many, things in- its favor.
It la claimed that the results obtained
by. Incineration, as at present' operated
here, . are not satisfactory; that tha
ashes contain mora or less vegetable
Matter -that is but partly carbonized.
Also It is claimed that the burners at
the crematory cannot do their work
properly because the heavy loads are
dropped from a height sufficient to pack
ond smother the fire, for garbage Is a
poor conductor of heat, and if packed
closely has no opportunity to- work
through Interstices.
The reduction system obviates, it Is
claimed, the drawbacks named in the
present Portland cremation system, for
dryers are used and everything is sub
jected to Intense heat before being
dumped into the furnace. In this man
ner tha fires' are never smothered and
full capacity results may be obtained.
The reduction system sterilizes all
bits of garbage that may be sold, and
herein lies the great saving of expense,
either to the city or to 'whoever owns
the plant. , At present everything is
burned, for there Is no sterilizing ap
paratus, and the mayor and city officials
will not permit the selling of any garb
age. - ',--, t
With the reduction system, it is
claimed, the cost of operation could be
reduced to such an extent that the city
would have to make but little, if any,
appropriation Sot It-

This is the amount of grain that the
vessels named will take to San Fran
cisco during the week. Of the ordinary
else it is equivalent to two . shiploads
and shows the enormous growth. of the
coastwise trade. In a most convincing
manner It also explains the reason that
Portland's export business has so great
ly decreased this season. From San
Francisco the wheat is-shipped to for
eign, markets, but Portland does not get
the credit for it, ... It is added ta the ex
port business of the Bay City. -
The Aurella is bow In port-loading.
Her cargo will be furnished , by the
Northwestern Warehouse company. The
Prentiss, Aberdeen, Redondo and Leg
gett are en route up the coast and Vill
be loaded by the O. R. ft N. - Their ag
gregate cargoes will amount to 4,300
tons. The average-sized sailing vessel
that comes up the Columbia river hss a
carrying capacity of about 2,100 tons.
Hence the steam schooners 4 going 'to
San Francisco - this week will take out
fully two shiploads of wheat
.Local exporters state that so far as
the outside world is aware it would be
just as well for Portland not to have
this trade. The Importance of the city,
they explain. Is estimated by the size of
its export trade. The coastwise busi
ness is not taken into consideration.
Theydeclare that the city is also a
heavy loser . in a pecuniary sense by
these big shipments being sent down
the coast. Kvery ship that comes in
here, they affirm, represents a looal dis
bursement of at least $5,000. The im
portant factors contributing to this big
expense account are towage in and over
the bar, towage up. the river,, stevedor
ing, repairing and Incidentals.
On the other hand, they say, the
steam schooners coming in and out of
here do not add a dollar to the wealth
of the clty Their repairs are all made
In San Francisco, the exporters say, and
they are also provisioned at the same
place. "To put it in a nutshell," said
one of the exporters this morning, "they
drop in here and load, and that is the
end of them.' They carry the grain to
San Francisco, and from there it Is
shipped to Europe. The California me
tropolis gets all the credit tor it, but In
reality it belongs to Portland."
Considerable grain also -finds its way
to Puget sound -over the Northern Pa
cific, of which no local record is kept
If all these coastwise shipments were
made direct from Portland, it is said
that her export trad would be greater
than those of all other Pacific Coast
ports combined.

Prosper Picard's, Grandfather Who Died Half
Century Ago Left Fortune No Estimated :
Worth
as
A brief, investigation by Attorney
Isaad Bwett in behalf of Prosper Plcsrd
and the other heirs of the estate left
by Joseph Plcard, who died in this city
62 years ago, convinces him 'that in
stead of approximating $1,500,000, the
estate is, now worth somewhere In the
neighborhood of 13,000,000. It consists
largely of Canadian government bonds
and other securities and large tracts
of land in the province of Quebec. ?i
. Joseph Plcard died at the old Catholic
mission In' Portland in 1862 or 1853.
An examination of the records at the
county courthouse- did not yield any di
rect information, but has put the search-,
era in- the way of ascertaining what
they desire. Tor instance, It twas dls
covered yesterday that at Vancouver,
Wash., are the records of the old man's
death, and they will be copied Immedi
ately. Whether or not Picard obtained
possession of' any property .after "he
came to Oregon has not been found out
up to this time, and a careful search of
the records will be necessary.
There are 12 heirs 'to Joseph Plcard's
estate, all' living in Umatilla county,
Oregop. Many of the children were born
in Marlon county, and their parents died
years ago. The records of Marlon and
Umatilla counties will be examined to
get proof of birth,' blood relation, and
other necessary Items, . before the' real
work of securing 'the vast estate is be
gun. ' . ' . ... .,, .-. ' !...,

PRISONERS LESSEN
SORROW WITH SONG
Great' men In the world's history have
expressed the conviction that no man
can - be wholly bad who has In him
the love- of vocal and instrumental har
mony. Granted this be true, and If It
be further admitted" that the goodness
of a. man's nature is in proportion to
his musical gentu8Nero, perhaps, form
ing a dishonorable exception there are
four men incarcerated in the county Jail
Who have a chance for redemption.
These men have formed a quartet,
secured a number of the latest songs
and practiced to a point where they.
form a creditable vocal organisation.
These are the members of the quartet:
Eddie Ives, first !tenor; Walter Alley,
second tenor; George Willis, first bass;
William Goebel. second bass. From 8
to o'clock every evening their voices
are blended In harmony for the enjoy
ment of themselves and -the .other In
mates. D. D. Jackson, is as lenient "with
his charges as the. enforcement of dis
cipline will permit and allows one hour
tor their evening recreation.

- Within two or three days, or at the
end of this week at most, the big dredge
Chinook will be brought up to Portlanl
to have ' repairs made to her boilers:
Bids for the work will be asked for at
once, and arrangements have been made
ta get the matter under, way with as lit
tle delay as possible.
"There never has been any intention
on the part of the government." said
Major JLingfltt yesterday, "to send the
dredge to San Francisco to hs.ve the
worli done there. That would require
too much time. The contemplated re
pairs can be made in two or three weeks
and the dredge will lose but' little more
time than she would by remaining at the
mouth of the river. . Until the middle of
April or the first of May it will be im
possible for her to keep in regular com
mission at the bar. Hence, compara
tively little. If any, time will be lost. '
"While at the navy yards at Mare Is
land there were 14 patches! put on the
boilers. ' Some of these began to cause
more or less annoyance shortly aftT
the dredge s arrival at the mouth of the
river. 8ome of . the patches- are still
all right but four of them in particular
require attention. By having the work
done now I concluded that more time
would be saved .than to be bothering
with them the way we have during the
past few weeks. -The dredge can easily
be put in thorough order in time for the
summer's work, which will soon open."
USED CINDER PILE v
FOR GARBAGE DUMP
Special Officer A. Caswell yesterday
swore out a warrant in the municipal
court against a vegetable wagon driver
named Hobyat, charging him with
dumping garbage on the city's cinder
pile. Hobyats is said to have been seen
drive his: wagon, , which was . full of
spoiled vegetables, 'to the cinder pile In,
me eany aawn -or sunaay morning,
quickly dump the garbage, and start
away, as he was discovered. Hobyats,
seeing that he had been discovered.
drove Sway rapidly and warned the other
vegetable men on their way to the cin
der pile to turn away as they would.be
seen.r v , .. - '
. Mr. Caswell said that a number of veg
etable wagon drivers and expressmen
have been in the habit of driving out to
the cinder pile early Sunday mornings,
and dumping the refuse they had gath
ered. . The "special officer aald that the
garbage men have been getting the blame
for a great deal of the work done by 'the
express and vegetable wagon men.

$3,000,000 -
what my investigations -confirms," ' said
Attorney . Bwett, "I am convinced that
the recovery of the estate is only a ques
tion of 'time and expense. It appears
that about 52 years ago Joseph Plcard,
the grandfather of Prosper Plcard,' and
the other heirs? came to Oregon. lie
owned a large estate, consisting mostly
of Canadian government' bonds and
tracts of land in the neighborhood of
Quebec. The old man died In Portland
and was burled at the Catholic mission,
where his bones rest today. :: We have
Just ascertained that the records are at
Vancouver, Wash., and we shall ; obtain
them without loss of time. '"v;
"There are 12 heirs of the estate, all
living in Oregon. From present ' indi
cations careful research wtll make it
possible within a few months to get the
exact location of the realty and trace
the bonds. Then active legal proceed
ings can be begun. , ' , ,.
"It Is strongly probable that the es
tate la now. worth 12,000,000 or $3,000,
000. - If property -we know nothing of
now, such as Oregon property, should be
discovered, it will doubtless amount to
the higher figure and may slightly ex
ceed it. The records so far examined
prove beyond the shadow of doubt that
Prosper Plcard and his brothers and sis
ters are the. heirs to the estate. They
eve have In their possession an old
family Bible with a number of records
of births and deaths in it, which will
give us valuable assistance at the out
set." This dally "saengerfest" ss the pris
oners are pleased to call It, Is looked
forward to with keen appreciation by
the inmates of the jail.. The "kangaroo
court" is called each evening arid the
judge formally delivers his Instructions,
after which the quartet sings until the
time limit expires. - ' .
With -fine ' irony the quartet never
omits one..song f'My Country, Tls 1 of
Thee.'? The word "liberty" is usually
given! a- lighter stress of voice than
the rhythm-requires. . And, showing the
mood of the prisoners, "Auld Lang Syne"
has 'been chosen as the song marking
the end-of the evening "saengerfest."
