represent in the aggregate 20,000 cltt-

C. S. Jbsselyn,
"And, whereas, there appeared In the
columns of the Portland Dally News,
under date tf July 18, 1912, a most
unfair, unwarranted and libelous arti

on trutTi or fact, and in which grossly
Insulting and un-American language
was sed toward Mr. Josselyn
"And be it further resolved that we
resent and condemn all such un-American
attacks upon tne character and
integrity of a respected cltlien."
The outing was given under the aus
pices of' the company's lighting depart

every way. During the afternoon Gen

.Seattle, Wash., July 30, "I realise
that this la a serious matter for Port
land, but if ths people of Portland can
only arrange to ears tot the- t raffle

months I have not the least doubt that
I can at . the explratiton of that time
arrange a regular fleet of large steam
ers which will give the Columbia river
regular and satisfactory service to the
Orients
This was the statement tonight of
Frank Waterhouse to The Journal cor
respondent when asked as to the out
come of negotiations for continuance
of steamship service between Portland,
Japan and China. While refusing to so
state, the Inference might be drawn
from his remarks that he was of the
opinion that the question of maintain
ing ths service does not rest entirely
on the shoulders of the O.-W. R. & N.
company,
"Iu my opinion it is up to the people
of Portland and the Port, of Portland
to take .care of the situation in the
meantime,' he continued. "As I already
said, if the matter can only be tided
over for not moxfi than a year I can
furnish ths necessary steamships. I
have had offers from two of the larg
est and best steamship companies in
the world who are ready to give us
tonnage Just as soon as it Is possible
to get it. However, these fleets are at
present tied up and oannot be released
immediately. These companies I men
tion were decidedly interested in the
Portland problem and I know they will
give us boats within a year or Just
as soon as existing charters have ex
pired. That Is why it is necessary for
the trade to be cared for in the mean
time. "I think the port of Portland ought
to assume the burden at this time, for
it is a momentous question for Port
land, and I realize it. My proposition
was that I would furnish service out of
Portland during the next twelve months
with three steamers for $6500 per
month. This was my last offer and it
was made yesterday. I have been given
to understand that it has been declined
und further than this, I can do nothing.
Unless something is done by the Port
land people the present service will bs
discontinued In August, after the
steamer Hercules calls. Unless I can
get a subsidy such as I asked, it Is ab
solutely impossible for me to operate
this eervios and meet expenses. Steam
ers cannot be chartered at present on
j long time fixtures for less than 8 shil
lings ana o pence. 1 aireaay nave 01
fered two fleets to Portland, but the
tenders were declined. If Portland can
not take the risk I cannot afford to
face the great loss which surely would
follow under present conditions.
"I realise that this is a heavy blow
to Portland, but I have done my best
and cannot do mors unless the ship
pers, the port of Portland and the peo
ple of Portland take it up."
Personally Mr. Waterhouse Is iisap-
pointed that arrangements have not
been made to continue ihe service from
-fortiand. He bas always been a pion
eer in steamship field and with his
close connections with big shipping
firms in London, he is in better posi
tion than any other man. on this coast
of geVvessels. Mr. Waterhouse refused
to comment on Mr. Miller's statement,
but what he said practically confirms
the railroad man's assertion that
present high . charters make it Impos
sibls to get ships at a rate that will
make them profitable

Everett, Wash., July 80.- Following
eharges made by John C. Lawrence, can
didate lor the Republican nomination
for governor, tkat the- management of
the state reformatory at Monroe had
been guilty -of gross mismanagement
and extravagance, the board of ormnag
ers today Issued a statement m which
It was charged that Lawrence had de
liberately falsified and had continued
toakftlal4tem&t nfter Ms attention
had been called to the records in the
case. The statement roundly scores
Lawrence, declaring that his long resi
dence at Olympla had familiarized hint
with methods of keeping track of ex
penditures and all he had to do was go
over the ltemixed statements and
vouchers. The boards' statement, in
part, follows:
"First -That the marble and mosaic
work cost $2203, whereas there is not
an inch of marble or mosale work In the
building. 1
"Second That the stone steps cost
$2070, whereas there are none, the steps
being all of fir wood.
"Third That the carpets, etc., for
the residence cost $0081, when in truth
only $1)91.42 for this item was spent
in the entire building.
"Fourth- That the furnishing and
decorations, . etc, cost $1869, when but
$1011.80 was expended for these Items
In this building.
"Fifth That mahogany furniture
cost $810$, when there is I897.7D of such
forntture In the entire institution.
"The building commonly designated as
the superintendent's residence is divid
ed Into two separate and distinct parts.
One-third of the building Is used for the
superintendent as his private residence;
the other two-thirds is used for public
and administrative purposes. The total
cost of furnishing both sections of this
entire building was a little less than-
$4700. These figures when compared
with Mr. Lawrence's statement that
these items cost $24,000, show how far
he has come from the truth.
"The management of the reformatory
has to show for $300,000 of the state's
money which had been expended at that
time, actual, tangible, assets amount
Ing to $362,673.41
Thus it will be seen
that for the period covered by the bu
reau's report, the management of the
Institution produced a profit to the
state of 62, 678.41 over and above the
entire cost of maintenance, officers'
salaries and other expenses."
