THE OREGON ' DAILY JOURNAL; . PORTLAND MONDAY ' EVENING. NOVEMBER 2, ' 1908.
BY; MERCHANTS ON WATER STREET
Promoters Encouraged by
Depth of Water Found
In Channel.
Portland Is to have another steamship
line. This announcement has Just been
. tnade and baa caused much excitement
. among the shipping Interests, to wftom
tt cornea as a complete aurprlse. The
. 'company whlh Is to operate the line
4s made tip of business men along: Wa
ter street, and the vessels, which will
" be -built -Immediately, will play along
that waterway,' ' . . '
, ' The recent rains nave abundantly
demonstrated the feasibility of . thla
' rlan. Although the street is rather nar-
row lha water Is plenty deep enough
to float the blfrgest ocean liner. A lit
tle dredging at the old croaa streets,
particularly at East Morrison street, will
easily remove ajiy obstructions to nsvl-
gatlon. , The ahlps will have the ad
vantage of being able to load and unload
their cargoes directly through the win
' dows of the business houses along: the
; waterway. , ,
There was considerable discussion
' among the originators of the scheme as
to what style of vessels should be uaed.
6ome of the stockholders favored , a
" cross between a Venetian, gondola and
a motor boat while others favered the
whsleback style of freighter, auch aa .
Is in use on the Great Lakes, It was
finally-decided, however, that neither of
, these craft .would be. -well adapted to
the navigation f Water atreet. and a,
' . compromise was reached.
The boat to be used will be a combi
nation of a mud scow and a life raft
". and will be nropelled by being pushed
, from behind by a crew of stalwart city
councilman. Life preservers will be
supplied in plenty, as well as boathooka
i to rescue any unfortunates- who may
f happen te fall off into, the raging deep,
v You may think thls is a Joke, but it.
Isn't at least, not to any one who is
r attempting to do business along the
' quagmire known is the city map as
water street.; " The accompanying pho
, twrraphs give only a faint idea of eon
' dltions which prevail on this "thorough
' fare', from one end to the other, Wster
street is simply a tnudhole. Exploration
: of its almost bottomless depths might
supply a solution of the problem of
some of the mysterious disappearances
that have been srepprtewj of late. One
. who starts across this street never
knows whether he will reach the other
side sflfely or sink to suffocation In
the mud. ' " , --,
Frequently the-riassng-e of -a- team
along the street can be detected only
by the moving tips of the horses' ears
and the top of the driver's hat. It has
been suggested that a drawbridge slm-
liar to the one outlined -in Modjenkl'a
report be built across the street at Morv
risen, but this might interfere with the
. pa age of vessels, i
The merchants along the street think
they have. been, very' badly treated in
that this auRgritre was not attended to
bv (he city before the- raina set in. Now
all the filth M dirt, from the. higher
I ground la waHlied"dow and settles In
; this street. If the water were clean, it
'. would not be so bad, but it Is" muddy,
so boatriding on the street is not ex
, sctly a pleasant diversion, although It
-.Is almost the onlvway to get from one
Side to the other.. -
Mayor" Lane this morning Instructed
Superintendent Donelson of the; street
cleaning department, and City Engineer
Tavlor to dredsre the - channel on Bast
Wster street s-that iean "going ban-,
soma and up river drays can navigate
successfully through the Straits. " The
present obstructed condition is ascribed
to the soft character of the earth ur-
aernaatn. . , .

CHINESE FINES
PAY DETECTIVES
Unusual dumber ofjArrests
of Gamblers ilade During
the Past Honth.
That the .efforts of tha police to
suppress gambling In Chinatown have
resulted In i steady - stream of gold
flowing Into the city . treasury Is at
tested by the fact that he fines of
gamblers In the municipal court amount
ed to 11,750 In October. The arrests
were made by the detective bureau, so
for one month at least that branch' of
the police department--more than paid
its expenses. -
One hundred and twenty persons were
arrested In October for gambling and
visiting gambling houses, and with the
exception of one minor raid all were
Chinese. According to the monthly re
port completed today by T, J. Casey,
clerk of the department, this ' charge
was the second most common of tne
month, being exceeded .only by drunk
enness with 470 arrests. -,.
The attempt to Improve the morals
of the city resulted in tt arrests being
made. During October no one was
charged with murder, and but one Sui
cide was reported.
r There are now 160 men In the de
lartraent, and each man averaged a
ittle more than 17 arrests tor the
month, i Generally 1 speaking, , October
was exceptionally v free from - major
crimes, for not only was there no mur
der case tor which an arrest was made,
but there was only one Instance of. as
sault with a dangerous weapon Snd but
one for burglary and three for robbery.-
Of th five burglaries reported
two were cleared upr by the detectives,
the noidupa
were wiped off tha slate. Minor cases
while all three of
of larceny, however, were numerous, 112
being reported and of. these 40 were
cleared up. .
The large number of, petty larcenies
and the number of arretts for vagrancy,

thieves and - worthless characters who
steal when there is littl danger , of
capture.
