10 THE OREGON DAILY . JOURNAL, PORTLAND, FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 6, 1911. 4 PARK GUARD GETS OPTION ON OHOiCE I Sightly Plot Beyond Riverview ' Cemetery Can Be Purchased 1 for Zoo Purposes at $250 Per Acpe. The city park board this morning re ceived an offer of 400 aeres of land within six mlle of the rlty hall for 1250 ; an acre. The offer was made by Jesse , Hobson, who had read of the park board's Intentions of removing the 100 .v; irom tne city park. The landreferred v to lies Just beyond Riverview cemetery ; ' and is considered by members of the board to be one of the most beautiful areas that could be obtained for zoo pur poses. Superintendent Misehe was Al . rected to see Mr. Hobson and to make a . report on the property. ; "If we decide to purchase this piece of lanjfl." said Dr. J. R. Wetherbee of :, tne park board today, "and I think we ; should secure It we will have to sell some of the park and boulevard bonds . We mut sell at least lOQ.000 worth of " the 1500,000 issue left In order to pay ,.'. - for street Improvements.' . Boulevard Delayed. , Councilman Beldlng-, representing the people of South Portland, came before . the board to ask why the boulevard In that section of the city has not been . constructed. "What are you going: to do about itr he asked Mayor Simon; "many of the rights of way granted for the boulevard were on condition that work on It should be started within a ..... certain time. ThN time limit Is almost here, and nothing has been done. Mayor Simon aid the board had not overlooked the boulevard, and that It could only promise to give the matter ; early attention. Councilman fielding . ana - the gnuth Portland dPlegatlon ' found small comfort in this reply, as it ... Is the same one that has been given to other delegations tefore, .but they were ( forced to leave without any more defi nite assurance that the improvements they have asked for will be made. ,. Sellwoofl Perk Walts. . . Superintendent E. T. Misehe of the park, department filed with the bourd plans for the development of Sellwood park, but as the plans included a tract , of five acres adjoining the park on the north and west, and as this has not yet been obtained by the city, the plans were not adopted. The board will wait till .negotiations fop the additional traet have been made before approving the plans. Architect E. F. Lawrence submitted a , plan for the new public recreation bulld : lng to be constructed at Sellwood park. - The plan was filed." The board awarded the contracts for concessions at City and Mount Tabor r parks to Mrs. S. V, Burnett for J800, Tract title Cleared, A letter from T. L. Eliot. lnTormlng me board that all the necessary legal . requirements in connection with the gift ' of a small park tract to the city by Mrs. Laura M. Gammans and Mr. Eliot had been complied with. The writer ex pressed the pleasure of the givers In being able to say that the property had ; at last become . the city's. The board commended Mr. Eliot and Mrs. (Jam mans for their public splrltedness. The park, which is about two acres in extent is situated midway between Columbia and Peninsula parks. It will be called Gammans park. - J!habDftribrdered the city auditor to cash a check for JW-forfeited by i.naries E. Pottage, a contractor, in July. 1908. Pottage had submitted bid for the painting of the roor of the forestry building. He afterwards de cided that he would rather forfeit his check than perform the contract Plant Trees on Fatton Avenue. Dr. Wetherbee moved that the board instruct the superintendent to plant trees on Patton avenue and on East Seventh street. At first the board ap peared to be In favor of the motion, when Superintendent Misehe stated that the city attorney had held that the city could not exercise control over the trees if they were planted by property owners instead of by the park board. "It doesn't make any difference who plants the trees," declared the mayor. "the city has control over them In either rase. The trees are planted on the pub lic streets, and there is nothing in the charter to prevent the park board exer cising supervision. I think we had better let the master rest until we have Information as fo the cost of planting." DE GOGOKZA CATCHES COLD; NOT ALARMING .. Seattle, Wash., JaJV. 6.

In a communication to the street committee of the council suggesting certain amendments to the proposed franchise of the Mt. Hood Rail wav & Power company for an electric light, heat and pewer system in Portland, City -Attorney Frank S. Grant this morning outlined a number of Import ant changes calculated to prevent a repetition of the troubles the city has had in the past with Corporations which were able to secure too liberal fran chises.- One of the provisions he de sires Inserted in the franchise ordinance now before the street committee would compel the company to furnish a cer tain amount of light free to the city. Another fixes a maximum charge for arc lights which, may hereafter be fur nished to the city by the corporation. Another amendment suggested by Mr. Grant would give the city the right to auacn tne wires of the fire alarm ser vice to the company's system without charge to the city. Concerning this feature the cily attorney's amendment s as follows: "The said grantee, its successors and assigns. In further consideration of the franchise, rights and privileges granted by this ordinance shall per mit the city of Portland to have the oxcluslve use of ,a separate duct In its unnerground conduit for the purpose of placing therein the wires of the, fire alarm and police patrol telegraph sys tems and the water rienarfmenL tele graph and telephone systems. Said grantee shall - also allow the city to have the use of its river cables and the right to string wires on the poles of the grantee for such purposes." One of the most Important changes advocated Is that aimed at the forma- j tion of a possible merger between the Mt. Hood company and any other com pany In restriction of competition. The section Incorporating this Idea provides that the franchise shall become null and Void in case any of the' terms of the section are directly or Indirectly violated. The city attorney explains that these amendments are not re quired by the charter But that he deems them advisable additions to the franchise. Submitted with the com munication is a detailed report of what other large cities ar doing In the mat ter of granting power franchises. In cluded In the list are St. Paul, Duluth, Columbus, Salt Lake. Nashville, Wichi ta, Kansas City and Atlanta. "I beg leave to suggest," says Mr. Grant. In conclusion, "that In this fran chise proposed to be granted to the Mount Hood Railway & Power .com pany, the council make a careful in quiry as to the rates that should prop erly be fixed for commercial lighting and power, and that as a consideration for the granting of this franchise, the council take Into consideration the fact that it Is costing many thousands of dollars to light the city" streets atid public buildings, and that the company be required to furnish a certain amount of light free, and that a maximum rata be fixed as a charge for street lighting purposes. If this franchise Is granted it will In a few years become exceed ingly valuable, and I do not believe it would be unfair on the part of the city to exact these special privileges."

Mad coyotes fore sheepherders to climb trees In Wallowa -county to es cape the frenEled animals' bites. Sheep left defenseless by the terrorized herd ers are set upon and destroyed. Herders are kept all night roosting on branches while the coyotes keep between sJhem and their fires. Not only had theAv'ar ldwa county hydrophobia epidemic spread clear across the eastern half of the county, but, borne by mad coyotes and their victims, the shjeep dogs, which run hundreds of miles under the Influ ence of the madness, the epidemic threatens to spread through the sheep country of southeast Washington, Ida ho and eastern Oregon. tJThls report of Wallowa county condi tions has been brought to Portland by H. W. Harris, supervisor of the Wal lowa national forest. Mr. Harris told more fully of the plans of Wallowa county people to organise for the ex termination or coyotes, as reported In The Journal from time to time during the last month.- 'Sheepmen held a meet ing a few days ago and agreed that the bounty for coyotes' scalps should be raised from 13 to 15. "I have employed five expert hunt era and they are at work," said Mr. Harris. "The forest service has agreed to appropriate enough money, to per mit me to hire five more. Five rangers who are regularly employed will also hunt coyotes and this will' give us a government force of 18. Sheepmen are furnishing hunters and the people in the towns are going out after the scalps.' Despite the numbers killed since ra bies was first reported, there are great numbers of the beasts In Wallowa coun ty, according to Mr. Harris. They run in bands. They live off the sheep. They follow the flocks to the summer grating In the high mountains. They come from the mountains with the flocks down into the brakes , and hide In the canyons, where it Is all but Impossible to find them. They come out and if not seen will cut out a sheep from the flock, then tear It to pieces. Never until maddened by rabies 'did the coyotes turn upon men. Never was it their custom to go from one sheep to another, bit ing as many as they could and eating none of -the flesh. Dogs that have at tacked the mad cflyoTes have been bit ten and here, says Mr. Harris, the great est trouble has arisen. A good sheepdog Is almost Invalu able. Owners would almost as soon think of mistreating or killing a hu man being. The bitten dugs have not in many instances been killed, or the bites reported, their owners persisting In the belief that they would get welL This seems to have been the case with the sheepdog that had been bitten by a rabid coyote, then went mad and bit Luther Johnson, who Is now in, Port land receiving Pasteur treatment from Dr. Calvin S. White, state health offi cer. 210,000 Sheep tn Wallows. According to Supervisor Harrla se rious harm has been done to the sheep raising Industry of Wallowa oounty. In the county are kept more than 210,000 sheep and they are pastured on forest reserve lands, which cover about two thirds of the county. The cost of pas turing a sheep one year on government land Is 16 cents. There are also 25,000 cattle pastured in the forest reserve at 40 cents a head annually, and these are also liable to the bites of mad coy otes. The hydrophobia epidemic In Oregon is believed by Dr. White to have spread from Arizona. Dr. White exhibited yes terday a hydrophobia map of the Uni ted Statesr shewing thatthAflnly case of rabies In coyotes previously reported west of the Rocky mountains was In Arizona. It would be easy, he said, for mad coyotes to spread the dlesase northward over the arid country to Ore gon. Skunks that go mad and bite other animals have frequently started hydrophobia epidemics. Professor Emlle F. Pernot. state bac teriologist, said yesterday that the ne grl bodies or germs of rabies, which he has found In the brains of bitten ani mals, are of the most virulent kind and of great number. Some of the germs taken from the brain of a sheep dog sent from Wallowa county were placed under a powerful microscope by Pro fessor Pernot yesterday. They seem tiny black, bodies. Rabbits and dogs that Professor Pernot has Inoculated with the germs of rabies from another rabbit that had been originally Inocu lated with germs from a dog bitten by the coyote that bit Johnnie Bosely in Wallowa county, died of rabies in Pro fessor Pernot's office yesterday. Pro fessor Pernot believes the germs are virulent enough to be communicated from one animal to another Indefinite ly, producing madness In each and mul tiplying.

(United Preu Letted Wtra.l Washington, Jan. 6. Declaring that fines had no effect against wealth. President Taft today refused . to com mute the sentence of W. S. Harlan, wealthy manager of extensive lumber and turpentine Interests of Florida and Alabama, convicted of peonage. "Fines are not effective against wealth," wTote Taft In denying the plea of Harlan a friend. "Imprison' ment is necessary to restrain and en force. The Imprisonment part of this sentence operates powerfully 'to prevent the recurrence of such offenses by men or large arrairs and busmen standing, To relieve such a man from the penalty or imprisonment when ' properly eon victed and sentenced would be to break down the. authority of the law with those who have power and Influence, and to tempt further breaches on their part. What Is worse. It would give grounds for the contention often. heard that only poor criminals are really pun ished." Harlan was convicted In the federal circuit court He was fined $5000 and sentenced to 18 months' Imprisonment Taft commuted the sentence to six months. The supreme court affirmed the finding of the circuit court Taft has since been petitioned by Harlan's mends to commute the Imprisonment sentence entirely, it waa he today refused to do. this whicn Public Indignation Runs High Against Trio of Hounds ditch Suspects.'

Intense feeling against- anarchists that has been mani fested since Tuesday's battle between three "reds" and the entire London po lice force came to a climax today when five suspected anarchists were ar raigned in the Guildhall police court. Hours before time for court to.open the crowds began to gather, By the time court was opened the entire police reserves had been called out and with difficulty the crowd was driven back. It was feared that a lynching would be attempted, and accordingly the sus pects were placed In a closed van and taken to the courtroom by round about route. They were slipped through a side door and were In the dock before their presence in the vicinity waa known. Expressions of hatred toward the prisoners were openly made on all sides, but no violence was attempted. The suspects were arrested In a raid on a house in Houndsdltch last week.

PORTLAND CIKRIIIS I IRRIGATION FIGHT President MacMaster- Believes - Oregon Will Get Better : - Allowance. , Ranging itself with the Portland Com- ncrcisi ciu and .other commercial or ganisation, ; the Chamber of Commerce baa taken up .the fight for a larger reclamation fund for Oregon. The board of trustees of the Chamber of Commerce met yesterday and sent out a new set of ifc-ras, urging men of national Im portance to use their influence to get a greater appropriation for Oregon. .r"lfn U reny "titled to between 15.000,000 and IMOO.OOO," said William MacMaster, resident of th rhmh v,uimuen;. -uregon has three large projects under way, and less money than Oregon's rightful share probably would complete thorn. But I do not believe tne uregon congressional delegation should be blamed too much, for, because Of the high assessment per acre in the proposed Umatilla project It naturally would be difficult to ret tnvirnm.nt aiu. "In reality. I believe We are onlv trr. perlenclng the usual dillydallying taotlcs of government officials. Irrigation projects over all the country have suf fered by reason of postponements. The Umatilla project Is most Important to Portland and there Is absolutely no rea son why the money should not be appro priated. I believe that by using proper persuasion we may. Induce the president to cut off a larger chunk for Oregon. Every argument Is in our favor, and our representatives will stand with us." Harvey Beckwlth. president of the Commercial club, said that In Justice to Oregon he believed the president would reparcel the reclamation appropriation, giving Oregon a larger share. "There Is no project In the country superior to the Umatilla pojecf he said, "and I don't believe there 1 another great reclama tion scheme In the country so near a market and with both rail and water transportation facilities at hand."
