With the substructure of the new rail
road bridge practically complete and .the
steel superstructure ln process of man
ufacture by special order, It is pointed
out that the O.-W. R. & N. company will
use all its influence to secure from the
city council the Glisan" street franchises
which It must have before work on the
superstructure can safely begin.
An effort will, be made, It is under
stood, to get these franchises before the
council at the Wednesday meeting to
be passed if possible. Councilman Kubll
says that no matter whether action Is
that the franchise be referred to the
executive board, there to have a cash
valye placed on both the Glisan street
and Alblnrf privileges asked by the Har
rlman Interests.
The f ranchlses. now pending are In
slightly different form from those asked
in connection with the rejected east side
street vacations. Permission to cross
East Burnstde with Harriman tracks Is
not asked. Councllmen Kubll, Lombard
and RuBhlight cor-.tend that the rights
now asked will deprive the city of
, streets and waterfront access easily
worth $1,000,000 or more, overbalancing
by several hundred thousand dollars the
value of the Broadway bridge rights 01
way wanted by the city from the rail
road. City Attorney Grant expect to be
able to commence condemnation proceed
ings against railroad property wanted by
the city this weeic The city will sue
first for the brdige rights of way. The
South Portland park site, the enst side
boulevard and the Sullivan gulch sewer
light Qf way will take their turn. When
the value of the bridge rights of way
has beon settled by the courts, the rail
road company will be aBked, It is an
nounced, to deduct the amount from the
cash value of tho franchises, then pny
the balance in cash to the city. Since
the railroad company cannot proceed
with its bridge until the franchises are
granted. Councilman Knbli says he be
lieves that for the first time In Port
land history the railroad interests will
be ready and even eager to pay for the
property they get from the city.

Secretary of Interior Makes
Proposition to Upper Kla-'
math Land Owners.
(Special P!rti'li to The Journal.)
Klamath Falls, Or., Feb. 6. There Is
now every indication that the abandoned
Uppor Klamath project will be resur
rected. Jacob Kueck, a largo landown
er under the project, has returned from
Washington, where he had been for
several weeks endeavoring to get the
government to reconsider the Irrigation
of the lands In Langell, Yenna and Pee
valleys. He brings with htm two prop
ositions from the secretary of the In
terior. The first, and the one most favorably
cjsidered, is to u'tlllie the Horse Kly
rcTtirvoir. In order to induce the gov
ernment to build this project it will be
necessary to get 16,000 acres signed up
for water. The cost will not exceed $50
an acre. It is estimated that If a larg
er acreage Is subscribed the cost of wa
ter per acre will be materially lowered.
The other proposition is to utilize the
water from Clear lake. This would re
quire a largor acreage and the cost
would be higher than under the Horse
Fly project.
Mr. Rueck and a number of the other
landowners are very enthusiastic ovor
the propositions. They will make a de
termined effort to get the lands signed
up nt once. Since the government
abandoned this portion of the project
the landowners have begun to realize
that the land without water is worth
almost nothing when compared with the
results derived from irrigation. The In
dications are that very little difficulty
Will be experienced In getting the lands
Signed up.

Final reports of Oregon and Washing
ton fire losses filed by the forest serv
ice show the total to be about 700,000.000
feet This lfl less than provisional esti
mates immediately after the fires. The
report is the first of an official detailed
nature given out In Portland. Better
protection of forests and the opening
of new ranges to stockmen as one meth
od of protection, are. insisted upon.
Of the national forests in Washing
ton and Oregon, that on which the fires
extended over ihe greatest area was the
Colvllle, with 160,000 acres burned. The
fires on this forest!, however, were
chiefly surface, which are far less de
structive than fires which- travel
through the crowns of the trees.. It Is
considered by the forest officers that
fhe fires in this forest point clearly to
the value from the stand-point of fire pre
vention of proper utilisation of the
range under regulated grazing. Large
parts of this forest, and also Of the
Chelan Okanogan forest, are not used
by stock because of their inaccessibility,
although a good supply of forage is pro
duced. The dry gr&aa and other herbage
both spread the flames and make them
fiercer and more destructive than they
would be If the land were grazed. One
of the objects of rational forest admin
istration, antl-conservatlonists to the
contrary, forest officials claim, Is to
open all available range to the fullest
use consistent with preservation of the
carrying power of the range and protec
tion of forest growth and water sup
plies, j
In carrying out this principle, where
good grazing grounds are at present in
accessible to stock, the aim of- the na
tional forest administration Is to open
means of communication through the
construction of "driveways and the build
ing of roads and trails.
Through tlio building of railroads and
the pushing forward of the system of
permanent Improvements planned for
the national forests of northern Wash
ington, Idaho and Montana, It Is be
lieved that hitherto unused range in
these forests wilj soon be opened to use.
The topography of some of the coun
try Is such as to make It available only
from the Canadian side, but Amer
ican stock ownors are now begin
ning to work into It from that side.
Another means of opening more national
forest range, which Is being actively
employed by the department of agricul
ture, Is the securing of concessions from
railroads in the forms of rates and fa
cilities for shipping stock In and out
of regions where forage Is now going
to waste.
MUSICAL COMEDY
ER
Fascinating Chorus Is Feature
of Three Twins; Bessie
Clifford Cute.
Voiceless but clever as to tho princi
pals and with the test appearing, best
trained, best dressed and generally most
fascinating chorus that Portland has
seen In moons, "The Three Twins" be
gan a run of seven niglifs at the Heilig
theatre yesterday. As tlie first evi
dence of the durability of the produc
tion Is the fact that it was as greatly
enjoyed last night as though it had not
bofore been produced In this city.
Bessie Clifford and Victor Mnrlcy arc
the mainstays of this musical whirl
wind, adapted from Mrs. U. I'acheoo'x
farce, "Incog," by Charles Dickson.
The plot would not Indicate that too
piece was adapted from anything more
coherent than a college yell, but the
program conveys the rather unbelievable
Information that it has a base. Bessie
Clifford deserves what praise is con
tained In the barbarism "cute." Her
singing is a mere series of peeps, but
her acting has a dellclonsly refreshing
sometnttitf that defies criticism.
Victor Morley, anns vocal accomplish
ments,' contributes happily to the con
glomeration of laugh producing devices
rnrjuestlona'hly the chorus of "The
Three Twins" a full complement of
"show. girls." "mediums" and "ponies'
Is its most attractive reature. . Face
form, gowns and ability to dance are all
there. Tho squad of "ponies" is excel
lent, but excels by only a umall margin
the troops of "show girls" and "me
diums." "The Tlvree Twins" Is above the ordi
nary run of .musical comedies.

LAUGH PRODUC
Oregon Cfty, Feb. 4. To the Editor of
The Journal I not with much pleas
ure the - bill which passed the house
Thursday offering . the possibility of
putting the fish and game Interests of
the state on a fair and profitable basis.
The adoption of this plan would mark
the greatest step forward ever taken
toward the preservation arid upbuilding
of the one , tremendous and, other-important
fishing industries and would go
tar toward making the game of the
state a valuable asset.
The bill calls for a state fish and
game commission which shall be nonpar
tisan and nonpolitical in its makeup aa
far as possible. Four men are to be
appointed by the governor not to ex
ceed two are to be drawn from any
one political party. The fifth member
is to ba elected. These men are to serve
one, two, three and four years respect
ively, receiving no salary but a per
diem of 5 while in actual session. The
maximum, amount for service that can
be drawn annually is limited to $100 for
each member.
Give Tall rower.
' TJie commission is given all tffe pow
ers with which the present board of
fish commissioners Is vested, appoints
the master fish warden and state game
and forestry warden (who serve and act
under the supervision of the commis
sion) with the clerks, deputies, etc.
It is t.o look after the enforcement of
the law, the expenditure of the respect
ive funds of the two departments, ac
quisition of necessary and disposition
of useless property and is responsible,
generally, for the protection and prop
agation of the fish and game of the
state.
Other states have adopted similar
plans and have proved the desirability
of having such matters In the hands of
a body or power, which, being free from
other duties, has tlmo and opportunity
to specialize. Many of the departments
of a state reuuire only good business
ability .nnd aij aptitude.
The careful and proper handling of the
fish and game in a state like Oregon
requires an Intimate knowledge of local
conditions In all sections.
Such work requires time and speciali
zation. Much Is at Stake.
In Oregon where millions of dollars
are Invested In the fisheries, where the
commercial fisborman and the angler
clash and where game Is found under
every mentlonablA condition from the
ocean beach over vast prairies to the
mountain tops, conditions demand such
a commission to an unusual extent.
A body of this kind could provide the
legislature with data in the form of
hard facts, boiled down and based on
real knowledge of what Is needed. The
legislature would be enabled to simplify
and make the laws effective. The Inter
ests of the man with a large invest-
ment could be respected, while the man
wlthess at stake or the locality claim
ing unusual conditions could expect the
same Justice. At the present time there
Is no way to get at the right in the
many conflicting Issues it Is simply a
case of one man's wishes as against the
wishes of another.
