THE OREGON DAILY 7 JOURNAI ? PORTLAND. TUESDAY : EVENING. JULY 23, t 1907.;
Harriman Expected to Extend Corvallis
& Eastern to Newly Developed Grain
Belt-High Officials Return from Trip
to Interior Where They Find Amaz
ing Development of the Country.
FID
, That Harriman will construct a rail
road Into central Oregon, presumably
by an extension of the Corvallla and
Eastern, acroaa the Cascades, within six
month, la the opinion of F. 8. Stanley,
who haa Juat returned from a trip
' through tha Interior of the atata with
Jullua Kruttechnltt, director of main
finance and operation of tha Harri
man system.
Mr. Stanley waa tha originator of tha
Ida of taking Mr. Kruttechnltt through
, central Oregon, and left Tburaday laat
with a party of 10, Including General
Manager O'Brien. R, B. Miller. W. W.
Cotton, George Boachke, J. Edwards and
George Stanley.
, The local men. according to Mr. fltan
' ley, ware much surprised at the growth
. t tha country in the paat two year,
while Mr. Kruttachnltt waa astonished
i at tha development the country had
made without mean a of transportation
t other facilities for tha growth of Ita
trade and transportation of Ita products.
lr. Stanley atatea that while no direct
statement waa made by Mr. Kruttachnltt
it la bis belief that conatructlon on tha
new ina will be begun within alz
montha. The Corvallla St Eastern route
will ba chosen because of tha fact that
It la now in operation to tha summit of
tha mountain, tha paaa acroaa the range
la easy and the coat of conatructlon win
ba not mora than one third of what It
would take to build down the Deschutes
river, the other route mentioned.
Mr. Stanley atatea that more than
1,00. 000 bushels of wheat will be har
vested in the Agency Flalna and Hay
atack country thla fall.
Mr. Kruttachnltt left this morning for
the east. It la expected that he will
make a report to K. H. Harriman con
cerning his central Oregon trip, and
probably recommend for or against rail
rood construction Into tha upper Des
chutes country. Mr. Cotton said:
"There la nothing to aay about the
trip excepting that It waa a pleaaant
one. There la aome of the moat beau
tiful country In the world In that re
gion. In valleys here and there central
Oregon la fine, But It la very hard
when considered aa a railroad building
proposition. I am not at liberty to talk
about the subject, I have never said
anything unfavorable about central Ore
aon as a country, and have been In
correctly quoted on that aubject by the
local press."

forgery In the second degree and tha
other for grand larceny, having been

pretences. He waa discharged after
promising to leave town.
He waa In Jail In Oregon for a year,
after conviction for forgery in, lSSf.
He got out of Jail In Baltimore lately,

PILOTS
HOLD
AND MASTERS
DORAN BLAMELESS
Although the tales of the survivors
Indicate that the Columbia's movements
war responsible for the appalling
catastrophe, shipping men, pilots and
master here will not believe that tha
blame can fall upon the shoulders of
brave Captain Do ran, who died the
death of a hero at hla post, nor do they
blame Chief Officer Whitney, who evt
. tfently also remained on the bridge until
- tha wavaa lapped over the sides. Chief
Officer Whitney has not been men
tioned among thoee saved, and the con
clusion la drawn that ha went down as
Jravely did hla superior and fully
Resigned to his fate.
T Awful Mistake Mad.
V It Is generally agreed, however, that
an awful mistake on tha part of aome
one will be discovered when the facts
finally are sifted out It may have
bean bad judgment on the part of the
man on tha bridge in believing that he
could croaa tha bow of the small, but
heavily-laden lumber drogher, or the
Investigation may prove that the quart
ermaster misunderstood orders or got
confused and threw the helm over to
the opposite direction.
From the position of the craft It is
contended that the Columbia should
have held to port aa did the Ban Pedro.
In which the event the collision would
have been avoided, but instead -she
wung to starboard and in front of the
approaching lumber carrier. Possibly
tha quartermaster became confused
when ne perceived the close proximity
ef another vessel and turned hla wheel
In tha opposite direction to the orders
from tha bridge. The. wheel Is manipu
lated In contradiction to the ordera and
for that reason it la considered possi
ble that the wheel may have been turned
to port Instead of starboard.
T Collisions Xnexonamble.
"Collisions at sea between steamers
are Inexcusable," said a prominent mar
iner thla morning, "because that class of
veaeela can easily be held in control. It
la different when two sailing craft get
together, because they are shifted by
the winds and cannot be steered or
stopped aa readily as a craft propelled
bv power. I do not want to throw the
blame upon a.ny one at this time, be
cause I know Captain Poran was a most
careful navigator and he always had
the management of the vessel In his
own hands. He seldom slept at sea and
took the bridge at the least auggestlon
of danger."
Captain E. 8. Edwards, Inspector of
hulls, who Is a particular friend of the
dead captain, can suggest no reason for
the awful tragedy. He declares Captain
Doran was not only one of the most
careful, but also one of the moat com
petent navigators on the coast.
"Anyone who says Captain Doran waa
rattled does not tell the truth." said
Captain Edwarda thla morning, "be
cause he would not get tattled. I knew
him. He waa an old and admired friend
of mine, but, laying that aside, I must
say that a more conaclentloua master
never sailed a ship.
Doraa Vara Battled.
"Nothlnir that could be aald or written
could be too high a tribute to Captain i city.
Doran, and Chief orncer Whitney waa
a good and careful mariner. Such a
thing as Captain Doran getting rattled
Is unheard of. and those who say he did
are rattled themselves. He was a per
fect disciplinarian, as everybody knows
who traveled on the Columbia. Purser
Byrnes snd Chief Engineer Jackson are
men of the same type, and the Columbia
waa a good ship. But I have no com
ment to make upon the cause of the
collision. It la something we know
nothing about and can only surmise, si
can't fathom It at thla time."
Pilot Snow, who for many yeara past
haa piloted the Columbia up and down
the river, returned laat night from As
toria, whither he had gone Sunday night
to meet the Columbia Monday morning
to bring her to Portland. He was heart
broken to learn of the awful fate of the
steamer and her passengers, and this
morning In discussing the matter with
Inspector Edwards could not restrain
his tears. He had known Captain Doran
for yeara and considered him one of his
closest friend.
Stagge. for he alwaya spelled his
name with an "a," la well known to the
police of Portland, or rather he was
well known almost a score of years
ago. His career In Portland was me
teoric and Indeed romantic.
In 1890 he arrived In Portland from
Sacramento, California. He at that
time hod the name of Waterhouse. He
was a handsome young man of elegant
manners and a pleasing personality. He
registered at the Ullman hotel, then
onf of the leading caravansaries in the
cltl. Immediately on his arrival.
Carl Orttamacher, now chief of police,
waa at that time chief of detectives.
About the time of Waterhouse a arrival
Chief Orttamacher received a letter
from a prominent hotel In Sacramento,
stating that Waterhouse waa coming to
Portland and warning the offlcera to
look out for blm. He had defrauded
the hotelkeeper. It was said, and had
done the aame thing In many other
cities.
Waterhouaa had been at the Oilman
hotel only a few days before he pre
sented a check which proved to be a
i forgery. The detectives had been
watching him and he waa arrested aa
soon as the check waa presented.
"He made auch a grent bluff and waa
so indignant that he almost scared us
out of arresting him," anld Chief Grlti
macher today. "He was very pompous
and a magnificent talker and hla talks
of damage aults frightened ua consid
erably. But I waa younger then than
now and wasn't particularly afraid of
anything. So we arrested him and he
was sentenced to one year In the peni
tentiary." Serving out his term he returned to
Portland and was soon employed In the1
business office of the Oregonlan under i
the name of Lionel Stagge. Then his
career was phenomenal. It waa only
a few montha after his connection with
the paper that he waa appointed bank
examiner, and he lived like a prince.
He married a beautiful young woman

While the crowd waa throwing mis

After escaping from the building

All amendmenta to the charter and
all ordlnancea adopted by the people
of Portland at the recent election must
be teated In the courts In orrtsV to es
tabllah their validity before the city
can proceed under their provisions with
safety, according to the opinion of City
Attorney Kavanaugh.
At the council meeting tomorrow
afternoon the city attorney will call
the attention of the council to the ir
regularity of the notice Issued by City
Auditor Devlin prior to the recent city
eleotlon and auggeat that steps be taken
to have the validity of the amendmenta
and laws tested In the courts, In order
that the city may proceed with entire
safety In uctlng under me provision
of the enactments.
tin to this time only one Instance
has arisen wherein It waa necessary to
Invoke one of the new enactments,
that being In the caae of the contem-
Flated Improvementa of the atreeta In
he Irvlngton district In this case it
waa desired by those wishing the street
work done to proceed under the dls
trlot assessment plan outlined In a re
cent amendment Under the ruling of
the city attorney, however, the city de
clined to allow the work to be done In
that manner and It Is therefore being
undertaken under the old ordinance.
A new aueatlon now arlaea In con-
ectioi with the discovery that It of the
saloona In tha Albina district are not
entitled to be operated becauee of tha
looai option vote or two -years ago,
There la a Question whether or not un
der the new Shepherd ordinance plac
ing tne licenses at inuo a year ana lim
iting the number of saloona to one for
every (00 inhabitants tha Uoenaea can
be renewed or transferred to some other
part of tha city after having to all
practical Intenta been made, void by the
vote of the people.
The city attorney la adverse to mak
ing any definite ruling1 on the point
until ruoh time aa he knowa whether
or not the validity or the ordinance will
be attacked. All of the other amend
menta and ordinances are In the same
condition and for that reason It Is de
sired by the office to have the question
of law settled definitely before any con
struction or enrorcement or tne new pro
vision Is attempted.
The city Is now collecting- the In
creased licenses as provided by the
Shepherd ordinance to the payment of
which no objection has been raised by
the aaloonmen.
Until such time sa the teat has been
made It will be the policy of the city
attorney to counsel against the enforce.

any reason to believe that future con

from such enforcement. It Is probable
that "The test case will soon be brought

Two conflicting reporta have been re
ceived, one of which haa It that the
night was foggy, and another that It
was clear. If It was a clear night and
both steamers were making time "bug

Columbia croaaed the bows of the- San

It was the starboard bow then It was

that coast vessels are taking too many

of another raft or a boat. We got

"Men helped, but I felt ao cold and

It. The waves kept breaking over us.
We were dripping wet and It was so

lumber we were, sitting on. We man

the officers and crew tried their best

"The fog still hung thick and the
light only appeared gradually, but then
we could see who was saved and who
was not. That sight, I can't tell you
about it. Everything waa so desolate
and dismal. And then the Elder came
up. They got us aboard, cared for us
and at Eureka I secured the only re

escaped came to this city by train, but
I waa afraid I could not stand the trip
owing to the Injuries I had received
and so I returned by boat. Every one
has been so kind to me I cannot tell
how I appreciate It.- But I will never
forget that horror." ,

Bncley Explains Blockade.
Superintendent J. M. Buckley stated
when on the stand that the delav of the
California trains was caused by the cir
cumstances arising from the San Fran
cisco disaster, which led to a freight
congestion tne line or which was never
seen before. He asserted that the
freight cars were backed as far as
Roseburg and that all the stdlngs were
hiied with cars, and that this necessi
tated and retarded the trains materially.
He told of the permit that was formerly
granted to commercial men to ride on
freight tralna to permit them to make
qulcaer connections, and that the com
plaints that came from commercial men
were due partly to the withdrawal of
these permits.

said Mr. Buckley, "because It was be
