A communication from Frank Water j house, president of Frank Waterhouse & JCo.t asking for free pilotage on the Co Ilumbla river and bar and freo towage I when steamers" are shifting from one jdock to another, was apparently not re garded with favor by the commissioners, , although General Manager Talbot was iraade a committee of one to see differ ent shippers and learn what the present ; freight rates are and what probable ef fect a further reduction of the towage and pilotage rates would have on the freight rates from here to the orient.

The amount that will bo paid for the rights of the American Can company will likely be largely de termined by the tldeland ownership da clsion. ' The dock commission expects that It will be stopped by injunction when It has commenced the work It proposes. Wants Street eft Open. To oust the Northern Pacific Ter minal company from Front street, be tween Fourteenth and Nlcolal, the com mission addressed a letter to the city council asking its aid. It is held that the terminal company first occupied the street, with -its tracks .-.without.., sany right, and that since a protest was made against its single track It has laid a double track, thus more exclusively occupying the way. The dock commis sion wants Front street left open for a belt line connecting the dock system. The commission considered an ordi nance the effect of which is to state in terms the powe$, conveyed by the act creating the commission. There has been a doubt if the authority of the commission extended to regulate con struction of buildings fronting the river. W. C. Benbow, legal counsel of the commission, read an. ' opinion In which he said that the commission's power probably extended back to the first parallel street. In this event, a general plan, for the reformation of . the harbor could be carried into effect by tho dock commission. This ordinance establishes the limits of control over construction which the dock commission seeks to exercise. It requires that before any construction of any kind if attempted a permit must be secured from tha dock commission, and makes violation of this requirement a punishable misdemeanor. It forbids the construction of non-flre-proof docks. Includes Tldeland Ownership, The ordinance also deals with the trdeTand roVheYsTilp," saying" thai' sea'fl" construction, or solid fills from the harbor line In will not be permitted be tween Alder and Couch and Flanders and tho Broadway bridge' on the west side and between East Alder and East Couch and between East Gil. san and the Broadway bridge. "In these places," reads the ordinance, "bulkhead or re taining wall construction with filled ground behind must be kept a distance of 100 feet Inshore from the harbor lines. Pier and slip construction will be permitted on the harbor front of the city on the following-portions of the Willamette river within the limits de fined in section 1 of this ordinance: West side from the south line of lot 13, Sherlocks addition, to the north boun dary of the city. East side between Hawthorne avenue and East Yamhill street. From the north line of Essex street, Albina, extended westerly to the harbor line to University point, the south line of Olln street extended wes terly to the harbor line." The commis sion will not pasS finally on the ordi nance until It has thoroughly reviewed each of Its provisions. (8alfm Bureau of The Journal.) Salem, Or., Supt 13. An important development in Governor West's state wide vice clean-up campaign appeared today when he received assurances from One of the chief attorneys tor the Harrlman lines In Oreron that the rail road companies intended to comply with the governors request that all liquor shipments be correctly labeled and that the companies desired to cooperate with the governor in having the laws en forced. . . The governor was advised that the railroad company's inspectors had been Instructed to get on, the trail of all con-cealsd-jackaga shlpmontauaf JiauQtand that a Btop would be put to such ship ments. The attorney for the Harrlman lines asked for a conference of railroad of ficials with Governor West next week to go into the entire situation regard ing transportation of liquor into dry territory. The governor's request that the railroads hold the shipments 24 hours and post notices of them will be considered, also the governor's request that the railroads refuse to accept ship ments for illicit dealers. Governor West expressed satisfaction. When the railroads cooperate the life of blind pigs will be short, he said. A petition bearing a long list of names of Harrlsburg-cUlKsns and let ters from Dr. W. H. Dale, mayor, and Rex W. Davis, merchant, of Harrisburg, wore received by Governor West today In protest against the petition received a few days ago, which charged that Mayor Dale patronized blind pigs and was lax In law enforcement, and also charged that School Clerk W. C. Holt was running a blind pig In his drug store. The communications received today allege these charges are untrue. "In spite of these protestations," said Governor West, "investigations I have made revealed that many of these charges are true. I have positive Infor mation concerning some of them." The governor has referred the charges to the district attorney, with the re quest that he follow them up. Mayor Stephens and City Recorder Dupue and sevoral business . ma of Springfield, which also has been in the limelight as one of the spots reached in the governor's cleanup campaign, paid a visit to tho governor today and told- lilm that tm wa lepcuts of conditions In Springfield were misleading. The governor lnformedlhem that Jhliet sonal representatives bave ibeen investi gating conditions there and report that many of the emerges are true. " "What'a everybody's business is no body's business, and you bave not bean devoting the attention to law enforce ment that you should," he told them. They gave the governor a pledge to clean up their town and rid it of all blind plga and iurclt liquor aealefs; Schlnssel Goet to Asylum. Mark Schlussel, Portland real estate dealer, who was arrested by Patrolman Jones, several night ago for leaving hlswtgon on the streets longer than V the law allows, and who walked Into the municipal cfeurt with a leaded revolver, was yesterday adjudged - insane ' and, r takeit to the asylum at Salem. . .

INDEPENDENCE ClAMERY Independence, Oregon. r GREAT LOSS F BOAT UN E QUITS Open River Company Must Not Be Permitted to Die, De clares J. H. Lothrop. "What the Open Itiver line has ac compUuhed in reducing railroad freight rates Is as nothing compared with what upper Columbia boat transportation will Uo In the way of furnishing competi tion between water and rail when the Celilo canal is completed and In use," declared J. H. Lothrop, manager of the transportation committee of the cham ber of commerce, this morning. "It is for that reason that both Tort land and up river shippers should con sider well what they do before they suf fer the Open River TransportaUon.com pany to dissolve. "Following the opening of the Celilo canal, which Japanese Consul M. Ida so well describes as a 'miniature Panama canal' in its effects upon upper Colum bia transportation, wheat may be shipped from many places down the Columbia to Portland for trans-shipment to sea-going vessels. The consignments from the mills may be handled by water. In truth, the real Importance of water competition through the Open River Una to Lewlston and the Snake river will begin with the completion of the Celilo cannl. This should be a serious consideration by the stockhold ers, Portland and up river shippers, be fore they consent to having the line taken off." .The stockholders of the Open River Transportation company are to meet at 8:S0 o'clock this afternoon In the of. flee of the transportation committee at 69 Fifth street. They come in re sponse to a call which reads in part: "The purpose of this meeting is to authorize the dissolution of said cor poration, settling of Its business, dis posing of Its property and dividing up its capital Stock." Attending the committee will be the committee representative of up river shippers which was appointed last night at Pendleton, and sent to Portland, It is understood, for the purpose of mak ing a definite proposal for sharing the burden of expense that will be incurred if the Open RlvV Transportation com pany does not dissolve.
