Development at Columbia's
ilouth of Vital 3Iomcnt
, , to Portland.
1 Ths announcement mad by Colonel
a "W, Boeasler of ths United 6 tat as sit
a-lnsers. regardlnf ths norrooua lra-
provsment of ths channel at ths mouth
of ths Columbia river, when taken to
gether with Xour other existing; facts
rtf.TO.Uig ths Portland of today, marks
a. distinct eioch in thia city's history.
' eald Secretary E. C Giltner of the Port
land cnamoer or commerce.
"We of Portland, should In this con
nection realize, and make the world
recognise, that today Portland has the
teener shin channel: tnat the north bai.k
road la building great grain docket; that
me Jr'ori or jroruana commission is tan
Ing over the bar and that Swift A Co.
are actually building the city's -firm
praat packing plant; and that the Ce
luo -canal la being bunt all
these
thlnga at the came time."
The far-reaching effect of these en
terprtses upon the future of Portland
and the Columbia river, baaln la said
to be greater than the ordinary mind
readily tf rasps unless the details are
, worked out by men who are familiar
with the city's commercial development,
and the forces back of It.
The bar channel baa been regarded as
i'ortiana greatest problem. ins lat
est Investigations and soundings by the
United States engineers have revealed
an astounding Improvement wrought
by tne scouring or the tides and cur
rent as a result of building the south
Jetty out further to sea.
The completion of this Jetty Is not far
In the future. When It is dons the
north Jetty will be immediately begun.
it is now an absolutely conceded fact
that the Jetties will give the Columbia
river as deep a channel as may be re
quired by the largest ships that float
tne seas. .
"Portland In Second Place.
Secretary Giltner says the thing
most noiaoie anoui tne present situa
lion Is that five great movements
(should occur In the year 1908. He calls
attention to the fact that this la an
poch which will become perhaps the
most notable of a century In the life of
Portland. Such a combination of big
events may never again come together
within one short year's time for any Pa-
cinc coast city ana certainly roriiaiia
nor any present city on this coast has
ever witnessed so great a group of com
mercial unnertHKings. . 1
United btates engineers have : com
piled a table of the depths of water in
the principal harbors of the world, and
this table gives a surprising showing
ior foriiana. ai is proven oy tnese rig
vres that with the exception of New
York, the Columbia river has a deeper
lilgh tide channel than any port on the

T ths charge Imposed on vehicles
using ths publlo streets by an ordinance
or the city council a tax or a license?
- -This Is the conundrum discussed be
fore Judge Gantenbein In the circuit
court yesterday afternoon. That the
ordinance compels ths' payment ' of a
tax and is In violation of the const! tu
tion was the claim of Frank F. Free
man, who appeared for J, C. Mann and A.
A. Kadderly, grocers, who were arrested
for non-payment Deputy City Attorneys
Tomllnson and Orant represented the
city and argued that a harmless license
on vehicles is all that is contemplated.
"This Is not a tax on vehicles, but a
reasonable charge for the privilege of
using tne streets." is, in Drier, tne con
tention of -the lty. On the other side
It Is declared that the use of the streets
is a right, not a privlleget,; Further, It
Is asserted, the tax is unequal, the own
er of a vehicle worth $60 having to pay
ths same as one who owns a 11,000
equipage. The tax Is payable annually
and is ths same for the portion of a
year as for a whole year. This provis
ion was objected to. It being pointed out
that the ordinance was passed In Feb
ruary and many had already paid their
first quarter taxes under the old law
before the new went into ef feet. Here,
said the attorney, is a case of a man
being taxed three times once by the
assessor In the usual way, ones under
the, old city ordinance and again under
the new ordinance. Admitting that the
ordinance la by its terms retroactive, its
defenders said that it might be UDheld
as to the future and disregarded in its
effort to regulate the past At the con-

PAVEMENT FOR BIG

The Holladay-Irvlngton.. improvement
club met last night In regular session.
Ths committee appointed to Investigate
ths , hard surface proposition mads its
report Maps and plans of the .Holladay-Irvlngton
district were placed ' st
the. disposal of the club by ths conv
mi t tee. Three new members were add'
ed to the executive committee, They are
W. C. Bristol. Fred Johnston and Mr.
Turner. The club will meet again -the
first Monday after the Fourth of July
and' at that meeting representatives of
the ? different hard surface pavement
companies win explain tns advantages
of their pavement and give an estimate
of cost. The club expects to secure one
kind of pavement-for the whole dis
trict and in such an event the contract
would probably be given to ons com-
fiany. With four different' companies
n comnetition it is thought that -the
streets can be Improved at an unusually
low cost f. . ; ; ....
NOTORIOUS CAFE j

Ths Pullman cafe has been closed at
last, or at least ths council yesterday
granted a transfer for the license of
the place from "286 Alder street to the
Commercial club building where, it is
said the saloon will be lecated In the

The passing ; of the Pullman marks
the end of one of the bitterest fights
ever waged to close a saloon in port

made to close the place but they were
always unsuccessful.

day there was no debate upon, it and the
members settled themselves down to
vote. Councilman Cottet explained that
the committee had not been able to
come to an agreement on what action
should be taken in regard to the trans
