OF LATE
JUDGE DECIDE CASES
Judge Cleland Holds Unnec
essary 'to re-Try Suits
Brought Before Frazer.
Presiding Judge Cleland this morning
decided that a case tried before the late
Judge Fraser, In which the findings of
fact had not been signed, will not have
to be tried again. In accordance With
this ruling he directed that a decree be
entered for the plaintiff in the case of
F. Lltherland against tne a. juorion
onn ileal r-.ai.Kitl iDveainieut uuiiivk"'
Judge Cleland said that when the
matter was first presented to him -he
did not think it possible for him to
have the decree entered in such a case,
but upon close examination he found
that the supreme court had apparently
warranted such action. In this case
Judge Frazer had prepared his findings
and there le no question as to what his
Judgment would have been. All that
remained to be dona was appending the
signature of the trial judge.
The ruling of the court in this case
will apply to several others and means
a large saving of time and expense, as
otherwise such cases would have to be
tried again. , v x
GOOD ROADS FOR
HOOD RIVER REGION
Hood River, Or.. Jan. 15. The Mount
Hoodi Development league was organized
last Saturday evening at a gathering
of the public-spirited residents of the
upper Hood River valley. While the
activities of the Hodd River Commer
cial club have a beneficial effect upon
this section also, it was felt that the
work of that body should be supple
mented by a local organization.
Election of officers resulted In the
choice of: President, T. H. Larwood;
vice-president, O. M. Wlshart; secre
tary-treasurer, II. B. Langiue.
...The president Immediate!)
y appointed
various committees of which the most
important wag that chosen to circulate
a eubscrintlon list for r&Jslnar the neces
sary funds to construct about three and
a half miles of new road, . which will
entirely avoid the two long hills on the
firesent road connecting the upper and
owcr valleys. This good roads move
ment will constitute one of the chief
aims of the league, and every effort
will be made toward securing and main
taining the best highway in the coun-
r.Whlle there is but little vacant public
lad, all the farms are large and will
undoubtedly be subdivided in the near
future, thus largely Increasing the pop
ulation. With soil and climate so thor
oughly adapted to the growing of apples
and strawberries the upper valley will
do much to enhance the fame of tho
name Hood River.

DRAFT BILL
PILOT SERVICE ABUSES
Chamber of Commerce Committee Proposes to Amend
Tort of Portland Law by Initiative Conferring Addi-
tional Powers Upon the Present Commission.
To curs long 1 standing Ills and
abuses in the towage and bar pilotage
service at the mouth of the Columbia
river, ths Port of Portland will propose
for enactment at the next June election
an amendment to ths present Port of
Portland, law, Ths amendment has been
drafted by the navigation committee of
ths Portland chamber of commerce. ' . It
confers upon the already existing Port
of - Portland . commission, the sundry
powers that were proposed to confer
upon the Port of Columbia commission
created by the last legislature, but
which , failed of confirmation by the
courts because of a technical defect
.. . Pilotage Service Voor. . '"
For some years It has been eonoeded

Interests of shipping and have damaged
the reputation of the port abroad. Ships
havs stood off from the mouth of the
Columbia for weeks unable to get a tow,
and a nihnber of ships have been lost
because they oould not secure assist
ance In' making ths passage Into the
mouth of the river. There has been
constant friction between the pilots and
oiner interests- ' '
The O. R. It N. company, which about
15 years ago, Initiated the towage serv
ice -and bar pilotage for taking care of
export tonnage handled by Its rail lines,
has been conducting the service at - a
loes, it Is alleged, and ths company has
for some tlms desired to withdraw."
Originally ths towage servicer was
wholly for the benefit of O. R as N.
grain exports, and the company felt
that It could afford to hsndle the tow
age in order to compete with northern
rail lines to the sound. In recent years
a very heavy lumber export business
has grown up, and now the Hill lines
are about to inaugurate a large export
movement via the mouth of the Colum
bia river and the north bank line of the
Portland Seattle railroad. The O. R.
A N. company, in view of these condi
tions, has decided to withdraw rrom
the towage buslnssa and dispose of its
boats.
ICast Maintained.
Ths Port of Columbia commission bill
was drawn and passed wlth a view to
taking care of the service that is to
be abandoned by the railroad company,
it is admitted by everyone that the
service must be maintained, and tne
opinion is general that the state or
the Port of Portland should have as
sumed charge long since. In the inter
est of the commerce and export trade
not only of Oregon, but the entire In
land empire, upon tne development or
which Portland relies for Its growth
and prosperity.
. It Is thought the service, if managed
by the Port of Portland commission, can
be maae seir-susiaining. ine lnmai
bond issue will be necessary only for
making provision of the needed towage
plant.
The proposed amendment will be sub
mitted by petition, under the initiative
and referendum, to be voted upon by
the voters of the Port of Portland dis
trict at the election next June. In or
der to gain such submission, the peti
tion must have upwards of 2,000 signa
tures. Ths petition will be circulated
at once, under auspices of the naviga
tion committee. Copies will be posted
at prominent places frequented by vot
ers and taxpayers, and It is expected
that the required signatures will be
largely voluntary, as the Interests of
the port are vitally at stake.

DECLARE PUTNAM CASE
TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE
Portland newspaper men, many of
whom have devoted a quarter of a cen
tury of their lives to Journalistic work,
are practically unanimous in the opin
ion that the trial and conviction of
George Putnam at Jacksonville for crit
icising a grand Jury, was a farce, and
that the course of A. C Reames and
C. L. Reames in conducting the prose
cution and barring all evidence that
would tend to clear Putnam was a trav
esty of the office of a district attorney.
At a meeting of the Portland Press
association last evening resolutions
were adopted expressing condemnation
of Judge Hanna's decision in the case
of the Medford Tribune's editor.
' The meeting selected W. H. Gal van 1,
Frank Lee and George L. Hutchln as
delegates to attend the convention of
the Oregon State Press .association to
be held in Portland, Friday and Sat
urday of this week. A meeting of the
Portland Press club has also been called
for this afternoon to take similar action.

A New Departure
The cost of Interments has been
greatly reduced by tho liolman Under-,
taking company. ' -'.. ,
Heretofore it has been the custom of
funeral directors to make charges for
all incidentals connected with a fu
neral. The Edward Holmaa Undertak
ing company, the leading funeral di
rectors of Portland, have departed from
that custom. When casket is furnished
by us we make no extra eharges for
erflbalmlng, bears to cemetery, outaide
box or any services that may be re
quired of us, except clothing; cemetery
and carriages, thus effecting a saving
of 225 to 171 on each funeral.
