In n opinion Involving $1,000,000. City Attorney John P. KavanauKh to day decided that the city has the right to condemn property for park purposes. Tho opinion wag made at the request of I. Lang", member of the City park board, who desired the Information In order to guide the board In handling the l,uuu. 000 bond Issue which was recently de villi) hv the state supreme court The opinion of the city attorney Is far reaching In that the city has never before used Its rignt oi "''"' to acquire land for public parks and n a.much as hundreds of acres are In volved In the proposition confronting the park board ft. effect i P"""" have a deterrent force on Pperli owners who own Property along tho tract selected by the park board for th new parking and boler.a,"dh"8ie?'" bringing suits to stop the board from condemning their land.

Persons residing on 'the line of the. system and owning property that will be sought by the board are not pos sessed of the enthusiasm to Improve flia:;ltv that. has takeo hold of the park board if their protests con be taken as nn indication of their sentiment, and It Is expected that many will br ng suits to enjoin the board from carrying out its plans. This Is especially true of property owners in the southern part of the city, where most or the protests nave cumo from thus far. Cltv Attorney Kavanaugh s opinion, however. Is based upon the provisions of the cltv charter and state laws bearing on ' the subject. He searched through the records for decisions bear ing on the question, and after n careful studv of the subject matter arrived at the decision which he made public to l;iv. While he considers that his de cislon Is of broad and sweeping terms, he Is also firm In the belief that the courts will sustain his position. In the path of navigation, the derelict steam schooner Minnie K. Kelton Is now floating bottom up off trie mouth of Columbia river. The lookout at North Head wired to District Forecaster Beals of the weuther bureau shortly before noon today that the derelict had drifted Into the middle of the south channel near the "MO" buoy. The Minnie K. Kelton has given more trouble during her brief career on this coast than any other vessel known of. In the first place 1 1 of her crew were drowned when the deckload went over board In s storm off Columbia river a few months ago. Then she was aban doned by the remaining officers and crew and subsequently towed Into As toria Dy xne steam schooner Washing ton, Captain Nason. Accountants sat down and fla-ilred out that the owners officers and crew of the Washington would get a big fat sum lor salvage, ana they were already beginning to fight over It when It was discovered that the derelict had settlod so hard In the mud of Smith's bav, where she had been left by Captain Nelson In charge of a keener, that It became very difficult to dislodge her. 8everal futile attempts were ma-le, but Captain Ijevereaux of Seattle fili ally succeeded In getting cables under her and by means of strong barges lift ed her part from the mud. Then sho careened and spilled out u laxge portion of tho machinery. In giving further strain on the cables the gear gave out and had to be re placed. Sunday night the wreck was at last afloat, and yesterday morning towboats were to be sent from this city to take her to the Port of Portland dry dock for repairs. With daylight came the unpleasant discovery that during the night the dolphins holding the barges and wrk had given way under pressure of the ebhtng tide and set the whole mlxup aiirm. 1 lie men on noara tne tiarges let go all available anchors, but they failed to hold and gradually the bargee drifted out to sea. There they parted and the hulk turned turtle. The tug Tatoosh towed the barges Into port after considerable difficulty. The hulk contains quite a quantity of lumber and would prove a serious menace to navigation If Dfirmltted !o drift away. Application will therefore probably be made to have a government vessel dispatches to blow it un unlefca someone takes the trouble to tow It Into port again. The Minnie R Kelton was making her first trip In the lumber trade when disaster overtook her. She was brought out from the lakes during the big de mand for lumber carriers about months ago. X ' - II ? -f -y " " li Si , t V 3 1 GIRL'S TALE TH&TTA $TEPHEN3 Miss Thetta Stephens, who was drowned in the Willamette river Sun day night while boating with Emlle Jeannet, was well known In Walla Walla, where she was a student of Whitman college In her freshman year. Miss Stephens was the most popular girl of tne class snd was always In demand at the little gaieties of the college year. Nothing has been heard from Dr. and Mrs. D. G. Stephens, the father of the drowned rlrl, who are traveling In Europe. Thev are In England some where and a cablegram has been sent to several places by their son Russell. It Is feared by the children here that the mother will not be able to stand the shock of hearing about her daugh ter's death, as she Is In delicate health and Thetta was her favorite child. as weather observer at Falls City. But ler died a few months ago. Porter Brothers., construction contrac tors for the Northern Pacific company, and promtoent figures In the construc tion of th. north bank road, have pur chased the steamer Yakima from Cap tain John Miller. The boat will be used to curry supplies and material be tween Keniiiiwlck and Priest Rapids. The steam schooner Northland will be In the harbor this evenlngf.

Mr. Cako beat Mr. Fulton In the pri maries whereat there was some sore ness. W. M. Cake, brother of H. M. Cake, was elected chairman of the state central committee In order that he mignt nave the full management and control of his brothe.r's campaign. H. M. Cake was beaten In June by George E.

Incidentally Senator Bourne who Is not an admirer of Senator Fulton In the same ratio that Senator Fulton noes not aamire nim, sided and abetted the candidacy of H. M. Cake. It will also be remembered that when the state convention was held state chairman Cake was given a very cold and clammy greeting by tho Fulton convention. JH. M. Cake was mentioned Incidentally as a candidate for United States senator and Mr. Bourne was thrown down and trodden Into the sawdust of the arena. Jonathan Sear Oats His. Then came the national convention where Senator Fulton was made one or tne assistants to the chief engineer of the steam roller while Senator Bourne was not even allowed to sea the machine In operation except for a short time one day. Now then It Is plain that Senator Fulton Is the bg inn In the Oregon campaign for Taft- i Ills friends are his aides and camp followers. Mr. Cake Is not. Therefore Mr. Cake must abdi cate and make room for some man who Is acceptlble to Mr. Cake. Many objections are being raised to Mr. Cake. It is said that there are debts hanging ever his administration of the city central committee which ran the municipal campaign of June, 1907, when T. C. Devlin ran for mayor and was not elected. J. W. Sherwood, who used to be sec retary of the city committee, brought forward the complaint some time, aro that even he did not ket his salarv for the work done by him. Following this there are unsettled ob ligations hanging over as a result of the last primary and the last general elec tion, both of them engineered by Mr Cake as chairman. It Is being pointed out that Mr. Cake did not pav the hills and because of this that the old time sources of campaign funds would not. and will not "come through" for tha campaign expenses. Aides Porgot to Dir. Of course. It Is not remembered that one of the reasons, perhaps, that the obligations were not met bv the organ ization was, and is that these sume old time sources, disgruntled St the way things were going, would not, and did not. "din." as had been their custom formerly. Anyway, It Is argued that Mr. Cako can not command the price and that without the price he can not carry the state for Taft. It Is also argued that he Is out of sympathy with the lenders and that there will be no harmony while he Is the official boss. It Is pointed out that while he was at Colo rado Springs he was extended the clam my mitt hv Chairman Hitchcock, snd others and because of all of these point ings, It Is decided that there must he a new chairman. The near future Is to tell mho the new man Is to be but whoever he Is he will be a man who Is "safe and sane " Due precaution on the part of the street railway company might have saved the life of Miss Mary O. Douthlt, the well-known suffruglst and teacher who was killed by a shreetcar at Morrison and Lownsdale streets Saturday after noon, according to the verdict of the coroner's Jury. The Inquest Into Miss Douthlt's death was held this morning. In spite of the fact that all of the streetcar employes who testified at the Inquest said they knew nothing of a car having passed them at Morrison and Iwnsdale. little 14-yoar-old Wlnnlfred Douthlt, Miss Mary Douthlt's niece, who was with her at the time of the acci dent, told such a straight and simple story of the affair that the Jury placed more faith in her than In the half dozen others who denied that the two cars had crossed at Lownsdale street. Tho little Dotuhlt girl was the first witness. She said that she and her aunt stepped behind tho eastbound car and that ths other came up so quickly they did not see it until they were on the track. The child said that she stepped back quickly and tried to pull back Miss Douthlt but that the latter was talking and did not see the car un til It was upon her. Just aa she turned to look up tne tracn it struck ner and knocked her down. The report of the physicians showed that the sttull had beea completely crushed In by the blow from the front of the car. Those who testified for the streetcar company were: D. A. Brown, the con ductor; J. A. Walter, motorman, Paul Kiev, John McCrumb, O. W. Webb and Seth Llnd and F. C. Holsworth. Hols worth la the brake repair man who In spected car No. 826 after It had been re turned to the barns. He said the air brakes were In good condition. The other witnesses named were carpenters who had seen the accident. They said the car-was going from 4 to 10 miles an hour, and none of them saw the other car from which Miss Douthlt and her nelce had alighted.
