To the Ed itor of Tha Journal I. avail myself of tha opportunity given me to answer the statements that appeared ,Jn,a re cent issue of an evening paper, under th heading of "Dock Rates," and beg to say, In tha first place,, that he conclu sion arrived at in that article, , vis.; That the Port of Portland commission 'passed on the matter nastily" is quite erroneous. ' : '.. ' ' : " On the contrary,, they carefully con sidered yie whole subject, from the point of view of the incoma-that ahould ; be derived from, tha 'very large invest ment of public money which for i the past year has yielded' no return, as well as from that of furnishing; dock facili ties on as low a basis as they can be had at any port on the Pacific coast As a result of its deliberations, the Commission lowered its regular rates; making a smaller reduction on the lar-, ger vessels that would necessarily use the public dock, ' than, they did' on the smaller boats, where that dock would coma Into competition with tha local private dock. - v : : ' - ' . ' y ;. . ; : Restored Old Cu&mi'.'K.' . tt Is true also, "that when lowering the established docking rates they re stored the old custom, which I under stand to4 be tha universal rule of dry docks everywhere, of making a fair and reasonable charge for each day's use of the dock.' The practice of giving two days' dockage at the low rate of 2c per a minimum charge of $40, was experimental,- and ' excep tional to tha general usage. Free lay days were first; established- on the rep resentation by contractors using the dock, that, "owing to an alleged exces sive rainfall In Portland, much time was lost on that account here as com pared, wi th other porta. Originally these free lay-days were made to apply only during such weather, and rater, only on vessels that - were docked for cleaning and painting alone, without re pairs, but It soon appeared from claims made .by the aforesaid contractors, that nearly every day was a rainy day and that practically no repairs were done it was all cleaning and painting,, and it always rained!' ' t Establishes Hew States, Thereupon the rata of S cents per ton per day, with a minimum - charge of U0 for each of the first two lay-days, was again established experimentally, without restrictions - as to work ; or weather, in tha hope tthat It might at tract business, which hope has resulted In disappointment. The use of our fa cilities during the past year or so has been practically limltea to vessels that were too large to enter the other dock. Therefore after careful consideration me fort ef roruand commission esH tabllshed the new rates on the prin ciples hereinbefore stated, and a very little study will show that the results, as a rule, are ' not such-as were given in the article referred to. It is Quite trua that a sailing vessel of 1788 tons, such aa is 'mentioned, if she.ould oc cupy the dock for three days, would pay more than she would have paid under the oljil rates, although the figures are not quite correct owing to an over sight of the condition of a minimum charge of $10. nit is equally true that ,lf aha occupies the dock for three days In the performance of a job that should be done in ' one day., tha expense is It that la practically a tame of checkers IS belnu played Uy . the executive board and the city council over the Hol aate sewer proceedings. Each munici pal body Is moving against the other, and neither is able to reach the king; row. The council had its move this morning. The next will be up to the executive board, ' ; ' The Holgate-! sewer district includes Jvenilworth and adjoining territory. 'The estimate xor me worn is iui,vuu. rrw, ceedings have been moving from com-j mlttee to committee of both the execu tive board and city council. This morn-! lng, the sewer committee of the council! decided to send the proceedings back to the executive board with a request that bids be called for, and the matter set-; tied. ;--r---i-;; -fr-; The executive board recently returned the proceedings to the sewer' committee of the council, recommending that pro- : ceedings be discontinued. The latter committee frowned at thjs action, and today, made another move for the, king rOW. , :- V. ; - -' "' i The fight proper Is between the ter ra cotta sewer pipe builders, and the cement sewer pipe people. The original plans of the council were tp build the -sewer of terra cotta, The property own? era agreed to this, and all necessary specifications and oro'nahces we're pre pared. The cement . Interests jnade a move that deHayed the matter, but fin ally bide were received for a terra cot ta sewer system. The lowest bid was $17,000 above the estimate of the city engineer. This gave ' the cement- pipe people a chance. The argument was made that the cement sewer could be constructed below the . engineer's esti mate, which was f li,000. This feature was presented to many property owners, and a mass meeting called. The meeting lasted until 1:16 o'clock in the morning. A petition with fully 100 names was filed with the coun cil asking that cement sewer pipe be used. The executive board listened, and recommended this. Today, a strong re quest was made for a sewer. Prominent men of that district said they were not particular what kind of sewer, they wanted a sewer. The difference In coat will be very little,-and sentiment hag again moved for terra cotta sewers. The street committee, will state - In their communication to, the executive board that terra cotta material should be used, and It is expedient to advertise for bids immediately, as the people need the sewer without delay.

" EST ANY SEATTLE GAMBLER Another order on the subject of gam bling, was Issued this morning by Chief of Polioe Cox on the receipt of lnforma tlon that gamblers were coming to Portland i from Seattle because of the agitation, against law breaking in the Puget sound city. The order, to the' police captains reads: -"Information has reached this office that a number of professional gamblers have oome to the city from Seattle, Wash., with the Intention of setting up gambling games . and plying their trade here. .You will,, therefore. Instruct the officers of your reliefs to be on the lookout for this element and when -suf ficient Information Is procured that one of this class is here bring him In on a charge of vagrancy." JACK!

George Wah, Oh.

To settle this ques tion Judge Taswell went to look at the premises and disposal of the case went over untU Monday. - ''-. ehortly after thJa raid Patrolman Klingle slipped into-, rear room at 87 Second street, where he. found He Chlng, a former gambling room proprietor, and King Sing, an employe, engaged in mak. ing up lottery books.

Chief Cox gambling Is said to continue in Chinatown? and numerous subterfuges have been adopted to outwit members of the force. , All of the old; fantan rooms have been abandoned and new quarters unknown as -yet to the police, men fitted up. One patrolman found a game in progress on Everett street last night, but the door to the room where the Chinese were playing cards, was not locked and the only stakes In appear ance were matches.
