Removal of Officer Quinton

Plain Clothes Men Easy

What 1 currently reported to be one
cf the preliminary moves on the part of
Chief Orltiniacher to reorganise the po
lice department by shifting patrolmen,
ii the transfer of John Quinton, who
has been on duty at the clljr hall for
ttver a year, to the flrit night relief and
the assignment of R. W. Uarter. in Quln
inn i nira hi the municipal building.
The chief action has caused much

faithful, conscientious attention to duty

Various municipal oniciais wim mora
tie came In dally contact.
Patrolman "tlrk" Barter has been
on the J)rst night relief under com
mand of Captain Hlover And Is regarded
: as one of the most popular officer In
the department. II assumed his new
, duties this morning and Quinton has
been ordered to report to Captain Blo-
i wer for duty.
! "There is no significance 1n tha trans-
fsr of Quinton, said Chief Grtts
i tnacher whan questioned relative to the
i mat ter this morning. "There has been
no cauM-for complaint with his work,
c but it will be my policy in the future
i to air the older members of the force
Moms of the easier positions.
"I intend to shift the patrolmen from
i time to time tor the best Interests of
the department. Although 1 nars not
yet decided, Quinton may be riven Bar
ter's beat. The- transfer Is not In any
sense a reflection on Quinton and does
not herald, any shake-up la the depart
Mot withstanding the chief's state
ment, an air of great uneasiness is no
il ticeable as police headquarters and there
ts considerable speculation as on what
neck the "reorganisation ax win next
fall. Tha rumor that the detective
branch of tha department Is to be thor
oughly overhauled and tha drones as
signed for duty In uniform will not
down and, there Is eonsequently much
anxiety tn the ranks of the plain clothes
men.
and Into the boats. It seems almost In
credible that the task could ba per
formed in the few minutes that the ves
sel remained afloat after tha extent of
the Impact was ascertained,
Orava Question.
According to the lonrshoremen who
have bean employed on tha Columbia
for many years tha steamship had but
two holds In whl-h there were not wa
tertight bulkhead a Hence It would have
been impossible to save tha craft from
going down In casa of her springing a
iesK oeyona me capacity or her pumps.
The same condition Is said to exist on
tha. steamer Costa Rica, now plying on
the Portland-8an Francisco route In the
Marriman Una.
"Failure to have a steel vessel In the I
passenger traffic bulkheaded Is nothing
less man criminal, said a well known
Portlander this morning, "and the own
ers of the Columbia should be held ac
countable for the lives lost as a result
of their aread or carelessness. Had the
Columbia been divided into compart
ments, tha accident roud not have been
attended with such fatal results.
The collision might have been un
avoidable but the Immediate sinking of
the steamer could have been prevented.
She could have been kept afloat for
several hours while the passengers too
to the boats or were transferred to
fcome other vessel. There are few larre
passenger steamers now afloat on routes
as popular as that between this city and
San Francisco without being emilpped
with watertight bulkheads and the fact
that the Columbia had none, as I am
led to believe, onlv goes to Illustrate
the narrow and "public be damned"
policy of the Harrlman people.

Oevurts A Sons this season ordered
more goods than ever for the enlarge
ment of their west side store, and on
too of that ordered a complete stock
of carpets, furniture and general house

We cannot carry this extra stock ror
three months waiting for a building on
the east side of the river." said Phillip
Oevurts this morning. TV begin with,
The charter of three sailing vessels
to carry wheat from this port to Kurope
during the next few months was an
nounced this morning. The vessels are
the French barks Europe, Iviennec and
Thiers. Some tome ngo the Frenoh
hark Buffon was fixed to return to
Kurope with a cargo of wheat from this
port after having taken a cargo of gen
eral merchandise to Australia and a
cargo of coal to this port from New
castle. Exporters are overcoming the union
rate of 27s fid fixed by the shipowners
from ports along the coast of the Pa
cific northwest by chartering for the
round voyage or from Australia to
this port and thence to Kurope. By thus
doubling they manage to save several
shillings per ton while at the same time
the shipowners profit by having their
vessels engaged without loss of time
for a long period of time.

Wat published during the Lewis and Clark Exposition, 1905, showing
the doom of the "calamity-howlers,'' as the wheels of progress passed
Over their bodies, crushing them to NOTHINGNESS. A number of
these SUPPOSED wise men prophesied a stoppage in the growth of
Portland that a BOOM was on, that values were bound to recede.
This class of men have always had my sympathy, from the fact
of. their impaired mental vision. This class does not only live in
Portland; you will find them in New York, Chicago and all large
commercial centers, and so it will ever be. They are a class of men
to be greatly pitied; especially is it true in regard to those located in
Portland, for they fail to grasp the FACT of Portland's matchless
location, where fresh water, ocean and rail meet, where three states
deposit all their wealth at her docks. Seemingly they were afraid
to allow the thinking world to visit us and to enjoy for a short period
Our magnificent climate, our scenery, for grandeur and beauty un
surpassed on EARTH, little dreaming that this attractive city, with
its roses, hidden as well as revealed treasures, would not induce them
to build their homes here, as well as to populate the entire State of
Oregon.
I never had a doubt but that the Lewis and Clark Fair would be
the dawn of the beginning of development. For nowhere on earth do
the stars shine brighter, or the sun shine lovelier, or the rainbow of
promise with greater brilliancy than it does on Portland, Oregon, the
coming New York of the Pacific.
And it affords me pleasure at this time, after more than 20 years
a resident of Portland, that I can now offer the public the best in
vestment that I have ever offered in my 20 years' experience.
