THE OREGON DAltY JOURNAL, PORTLAND. TUESDAY EVENING. NOVEMBER 24.' '1908. I 1 s COMPANY'S MOVE P. IL, L. & ?. Co. Files on t TVater Eights Claimed by New Clackamas 'Land-& Electric Company Liti gation May Result . ' By filing on w-.ter rtshta on the Clackamas river which the Clackamas .Land & Electric company had Intended using, the Portland Railway, Light & Power company baa attempiea 10 uiw the conatrucUon of a new plant by a competing company to furnlah light and power for Portland. The water rights art claimed by oom corporuuu the old company' move will probably result In litigation between the Morris Brothers, the prombters of the new con cern, on the one hand, and the Portland Railway, Mnt &. Power .company, on ttThhftW on both water rights and fend I along the banks of the cfackamas were made several weeks ago by P W. Sullivan, hydraulic engineer for the Or. Son Water Power company at Oregon Elty. according to F. 8. .Morrtav - ai were undoubtedly made, on behalf of the company by which Mr. Sullivan la em ployed. It was the filing upon these righU that brought to lteM , the fact that the Morris Brothers had la d their plans for a huge new power plant on the Clackamas to enter Into competi tion with that of the Portland Railway. Light & Power company. ftWe own the land on both sides of the Clackamas." said Mr. Morris this morn ing;, -and we believe that we also own the water rights in the river where we re located. I acquired Utile to both land and water nearly 16 years ago, and was subsequently forced to buy the land lust below the site for our power house, as the Portland General Electrio com pany, which owned it, threatened to do all sorts of things to us if we tried to put up power plant "I' consider the action of Engineer Sullivan in filing on the rights fn the Clackamas as simply an attempt to block our efforts to utilise this power. "Whether It will succeed or not I do not 'know,' but I -certainly consider that the water rights In the river adjacent to our property belong to us. The water laws In this state are hard to understand, and it is possible that the entire matter may have to go into the courts." Mr, Morris said, however."! that he was going ahead with I work, on the power plant," and would ! look over the ma chinery And water power planjs among eastern manufacturers eany In the prfng. ' He said that he did not think ;hV plant would be ready to compete for : me vly Hfis-ins; m. jrci xium hvot, ,uv ' expected to have It In operation Inside of IS months. ( - "I do not think we will have any trou ,tle in securing a franchise in the city limits." said he. "because It is generally ' understood that we are a bona fide firm, and can carry out whatever we under take to do." He said he would not apply for a ; franchise Into Portland until the plant : was nearly completed. ' COU&TY COMMISSIONER'S HOME IS ROBBED - A daring burglar robbed the home of County Commissioner W.

The fact that the Portland Railway, Light ft Power company Intends to chargo an extra fare efrora the city lim its to the Swift packing plant was ex torted from F.;I: Fuller, general man ager of the company, this morning when he was asked point blank by. Council man Kellaher If It was the intention of the company to make a fare, of no more than E centa The railway official re plied that his company . had not con sidered the rate It would establish, but that If he were given a vote, when It came time to fix the rate, he wonld cer tainly favor a 10 cent charge. Mr. Kellaher then Introduced an amendment to section 12 of the ordi nance which provides that the company may collect no more than 6 cents for a single fare In any one direction with in the city limits by adding the words, "the council shall reserve the right to regulate fares at all times." Those who voted against the city having this power of regulation were Annand. Baker, Reldlng, Bennett, Driscoll, Dunning, Wal lace and Wills. Concannon. CotteU Kel laher and Rushlight voted for the amendment, which was lost. Another section, which gave the com pany the right to charge such rates as it pleases for observation, funeral and other special -cars, was referred, to the city . attorney for Investigation. fcectlon 8 was amended by adoption of Councilman Bennett's resolution to in sert a provision whereby the company must obtain the consent of the council before It can abandon any street on whlcn It has a franchise. The attorney for the railway, who was present, ob jected to this amendment on the ground that the city council could force -the company to maintain useless tracks Into and out of the car barns.

PACIFIC'S DORMITORY The dormitory at the Pacific univer sity and Us arrangement In general was praised most enthusiastically yesterday evening by Dr. D. K. Pearsons, thet-nt cago philanthropist, at the luncheon given film at the Hotel Portland by the university trustees. Ir. Pearsons spent Sunday flt Forest Grove, the guest of the Institution to which 10 years ago he gave 5o,000, and which is to Dene- fit further, in all probability, by the generosity of the visitor. Dr. Pearsons said the appointments of the dormitory were excellent In every way and that everything considered the building and the arrangements were the finest that he had evr een In a uni versity of Pacific's size. Dr. Pearsons was most enthusiastic In his remarks and showed clearly that he had taken great Interest in the buildings and grounds during his short stay. He said tlint he had had considerable, experience In the dormitory line an he had built several such buildings for other col leges and rn this account he thought he was able to speak from personal knowledge. The millionaire recommended that the present heating facilities be so altered hat the heat would come from one building located some distance away from the main buildings This was the best system, he thought, for various reasons, principally because it removed all possibility of fire from a defective furnace or other heating apparatus. Dr. Pearsons, although 5 years old, travels alone. He left last night for Pasadena, Cal., where he will spend the winter.

' The only councilman who voted against this amendment warn Annand. Just before the session .ended and while City Attorney Kavanaugh w calling the attention of the council to the fact that section IS of the railway company's ordinance was In violation of the city charter. Councilman Annand tried to override the protest of the city's legal adviser by moving to adopt the whole section before any discussion had been allowed. A motion to adjourn pre vented a vote being taken on Annand s motion. '. ' Section It relates to the forfeiture of franchises when the tracks on streets have not been built and completed with in the time set forth in the franchise. The wording of this section Is such as to make the time limit depend almost entirely upon the will of the company. Another debate arose when section 7 came up, providing that the railway company shall pay one fourth of the cost of bridges, fills or elevated road ways when It has a track along the street where these Improvements are made. City Attorney Kavanaugh sub mitted an amendment providing that the company must pay Its share when It has a franchise on such streets whether or not it has a track built. This amendment was adODted and then further amended at the behest of the ra.ilwav attorney so as to make it sd ply only to franchises hereafter granted and not to those already held by the com nan v. ' Councilman Kellaher was opposed to aocedinv to this demand or the com' pany. He tnougnt it ougnt to oe rorcea to pay for bridges and fills along streets wherever It now holds a fran chise, Hs thought if the city demanded this as a condition of granting the franchise now asked the company would yield.

Pro fessor Edward O. Sisson of the Univer sity of Washington was Introduced by Professor T. T. Davie, who presided over the morning's deliberations. Professor . Sisson spoke on "The Spirit of Discipline.'' He was both In teresting and Instructive and soon con vlnced t his audience that discipline, while important. Is really one of the simplest of all the troubles that beset a school' teacher. Continuing he said 'There are three elements hi the spirit of discipline light of reason. warmth, cower. "The will of a child Is the totality of that child's being. It Is what he really is. A child Is built to be noisy and is to be trained by gradual pro cess. "Actual school work, of value Is im mand. The will of a child Is a wavering mand. The will of a child is a navering will. As he grows older he begins to take on.more responsibility. The power of influence depends upon strength .of will. .The stronger we get as teach ers, the more De.vaslve is discipline The end of discipline is not In the school room it but begins there, ex tends throughout all life, and puts men and woman on a dermite course. Professor Richard O. Boon lectured on the "Ends and Means of Education." Oood Health of Schools. One of the most interesting and In structive talks of the morning was led by Dr. Esther C. Pohl, city health of ficer, who spoke on "school Inspection bv the Board of Health." She said in rm rt ' "With regard to school inspection Portland Ik not so far behind other cit ies of her class as Is generally sup posed.

FRAUDS IN TESTIMONIALS BY MEDICAL FIRMS But Boms Are Genuine A Blgniljcant Case of Ecssma. How do medical firms -secure the tes timonials which you frequently see in print 1 This Is a question which no doubt every reader of The Journal has oc casionally asked himself. Well, testimonials are obtained in va rious ways. Some are undoubtedly not sincere; they are written by friends of advertisers or by employes. It is al leged that In some cases testimonials are even paid for a species of bribery which cannot be condemned too highly. But contrary to general opinion, it Is a fact that at least a large number of testimonials are genuine and sincere. They are usually given by people who reel so grateful ror a cure that they mow tneir names 10 do uaea. we our selves know or more tnan one case where a man or woman naturally averse to publicity was so overjoyed at finding the right kind of medicine that the cured patient consented to the use of his name in print. A typical case of this kind of special Interest to eczema sufferers is that of Robert Sussman of Toledo, Ohio. Mr. Sussman Is a well known furrier in To ledo, and ror years he suffered with a severe case of eczema He described his case as almost un endurable. About five years ago he was Induced to try tne on or wlntergreen compound known as D. D. D. Prescrip tion for eczema sufferers. He has gone out of his way to find sufferers and to tell uiem of this remedy. He has done this without pay, of course, and with out even having been requested to do so by the D. D. D. company, it was sim ply the fact that his health, his very lite, naa oeen reatorea mat maae mm so enthusiastic. We have recently had another letter from Mr. Sussman. in which he offers to write to any eczema sufferer and to describe his case. If any reader or mis paper snouia write Air. Sussman, we request that self-addressed stamped envelope be enclosed. Speaking of his own case, Mr. Suss man says: "Six years of Intense suffering from a severe caie of eczema, to be given up as Incurable, Dy sixteen aociors, sev eral of whom were, specialists of akin diseases, and then to have tried every known medicine for my ailment without effect and finally . to procure absolute relief and a permanent cure from a new remedy. Is an experlenee that justi fies my action In making It known to the public; and I feel that It is my duty to give It as much publicity as possible, so that other sufferers may be relieved. My sympathy goes out to those who have to go through what I 4id." D. D. D. Prescription, also' D..P. D. Soap, may be had in Portland of Skid- more Drug Co. and woodward. Clark Co.

They allege that the as sessor overhauled their stocks and that large assessments on money, notes and accounts should be expunged. The notes, they declare, are payable In oth er states, and the property on which they hold mortgages is taxed where It is located, tney declare, so that assess ment here would make double taxation. The Buffalo Pitts' company was as' sessed 830,000 on merchandise and ttQ. 000 on money, notes and accounts, and the board refused to reduoe the figures.

VANISHES WHEN HE . LEAVES HOTEL IN . ALBANY YESTERDAY Although officers throughout the state have been put on guard to pre vent the escape of F. Theorln, who is wanted for the murder of M. C Rasmus sen, he has not- been recognised since he was seen In Albanv veaterdnv morn ing. Sheriff Stevens dispatcntd two of nis deputies to Alhany last night, and they are assisting n the setron In that section of the st.it. .This morning a telephone message came ftom Deputy Sheriff Beatty at Aioany, saying mere is no aouot mat ine suspected man was mere vesterdav. Two men who had known Theorln shook hands with him nnd talked with him. and there is no doubt In th Identifica tion. It was learned that Theorln stopped at the Franklin house In Albany Monday night He carried a small grip, and left this In his room when he went to breakfast at a restaurant He called for a Portland newspaper and read It with some care. Later he returned to the hotel and secured his grlpt That was about 0 o'clock yesterday morning. and that was the last time he was seen in Albany. Sheriff Stevens thinks that Theorln may try to work his way back to Port land or through Portland to Puget sound, with the Idea of getting to sea. Vigilance will therefore be redoubled In watching all departing ships from the harbors of Oregon and Washington. Telephone messages have also been sent to all towns as far south ss Ashland, giving a description of the man and ask- ng ror nis apprenension. Manv of the officers believe that he is In hiding in Albany or In that vicinity. This is on the theory that after reading tne aearcn in progress ne wouia dc raid to try to reach a eeiport, and amid seek to disguise himself as a farmhand or t hobo. Deputy Sheriff Beatty is directing the search at Albany while Deputy Sheriff Hutfkaby Is scour ing the country with a livery rig in tha hope of locating' some farmer who has seen the fugitive.
