Epanoa - declared thatafterPaxk at had killed Dedaakaloua he remarked, "This is not the first time I have done a job like this. Last year I killed one near Ashland." The police are inclined to doubt a great part of Spanos' confession and will have to corroborate it before Parker can be bound over as Spanos has told many conflicting stories and previously tried to implicate an Innocent mn, Bert Cummings.

State Measures on Ballot-A r tide No. 20 Improvement of Oregon Slough Near Union Stockyards Contemplated In Initiative) Measure. An-initiative peUtlonfOF--hiU-to, amend sections 6077, 6078, 6079 and 6031 of Lord's Oregon Laws so aa to authorize the Fort of Portland to Im prove Oregon slough and the Columbia river below Oregon slough, and to fur nish vessels with coal and Supplies." Such is the brief description of a pro posed initiative amendment to come be fore the voters jof the district that com prises the Fort of Portland, at the gen eral election November B. - All the amendment the measure provides for Is set forth in this brief description and is two fold. First, It proposes to give the port power to dredge Oregon slough to a depth of 25 feet and to pro vide a channel. 110 feet wide. Second, It gives the port power to sell coal and supplies to steamers and other vessels. XJvely Supports BilL One of the strong supporters of the proposed amendment is . O. Lively, of the Union 6tockyards company, who was recently appointed livestock com missioner for tha coming livestock show at the Panama-Pacific International ex hibition. Concerning the contemplated amendment Mr. Lively has this to say: "The amendment enlarges the juris diction of the Port of Portland so as to permit Of the dredging of Oregon slough. It will not Increase taxes and it guards the commercial interests . of Portland by giving the port tho right to sell coal to vessels In Cases where they otherwise should have to go to Other ports to fill their bunkers. "The United States government has appropriated $60,000 and interested prop erty owners have ' contributed $50,000 With which to start dredging a channel 25 feet deep and 125 wide In the Oregon slough. After this channel is once dredged It can be kept open at an esti mated expenditure of only $2500 a year. Place for SnipVlBg. - "If Portland is evsr to' have a great shipping district here is he place for It, The 'shores' of Oregon slough are below the main harbor. and the bridges and there are 3000 acres of land avail able there for railroad, terminal. sites. Tnewrwtnue- five renuge-f e docks which could be reached from the main channel proposed to be dredged by meanS of slips." : . : Secretary Joseph Goodman of the Port of Portland commission, Says the meas ure has the unanimous support of the. port commission bothftS the dredging of .

Only $260,000 of the last park bond Issue remains, unsold and the expendi ture of this has long since been pro ved for so that If further bonds are not issued there can be no development work, as the annual tax levy raises only sufficient money to maintain the present system. The proposed bohd issue Is neccessary, say advocates Of the amendment, for the 101 lowing renuu; Seasons for Big Bond Issue. To sustain and carry out the sys tematic plan adopted by the city four years ago for extension of the park, boulevard and playground area. To carry out a general scheme on a business llkeJasls jwl1 PrP eono" To enable the city to take a forward step in providing recreational facilities for the people. To make partial amends for dilatory tactics of preceding administrations. Because every piece of property taken for park purposes is worth naturally more than the price pfcld for It and the price of land is cheaper than it will probably e"ver be again. Portland has approximately 400 peo ple to each acre of park property. A suitable ratio is iuo to eace acre. Pnrtlanri 1pb a smaller nark arfla than any other of tha leading- coast cities.

Thn hnhrt (rbub In raiieSted bv thS park board, as being necessary if park work is not to come to a halt. A city is known favorably or other wise in proportion to the interest it shows In the welfara of Its people. Parks are a positive agency for con tentment and happiness of the cltlaens of a great city. The park area should be increased at this time to enable-the people of the city to utilize the open air in whole some aurrouBdingsv- Tha-epread of-roof and street pavements increases auto matically with the growth of popula tion and unless reservations of land are made the open spaces decrease propor tionately. The land ever becomes more costly. Playgrounds Heeded. With the increase of population faci lities for outdoor play should increase. By prompt action Portland can make reasonable provisions for existing popu-1 lation. Portland Is, well to the bottom of the il'st'bf large cities With regard to her park holdings. Quick action la all "The 1 nl ttative measure was submit ted for approval to the commission and it was unanimously Indorsed. Wa be lieve that everything done to deepen the channels and increase facilities for ship ping will benefit tho port as a whole and It is the duty of the port commis sion to assist any such project Dredg ing of the Oregon slough as proposed Will be a tremendous benefit to the Community and we therefore' believe that the port should lend its assistance. The cost has not been estimated, as far as it would involve the port, but it would be a small matter' as compared with the benefits that will result there from. "The commission wants to place Port land to the front as a world port with all the advantages possessed elsewhere. Our great troublo at present is that steamers have to proceed to Vancouver Island for their fuel supply for long off shore voyages. Wo have upon investi gation found the best way o solve this problem or to remove this differential Is for the port commission to have coal stored to bo furnished to steamers in the off-shore trade, at a cost that will eliminate tha necessity of going to British Columbia either coming Or go ing. Handle Coal for Chips. "We believe foreign coal can be held here In bond and as the cost of haul ing it would amount to perhaps 60 cents per ton a small portion of this would probably have to be absorbed by the Ifort commission. It would, however, give the port every advantage possessed by competitors on the coast Tho bunk ers would be modern and conveniently located and it would save at least three days' time for every steamer that now has to go elsewhere for bunker coal. "The coal could be barged here during the dull months of tha year when our tugs are not very busy. , Then the fuel cpuld be held at the bunkers and dis tributed as wanted," Drake C. O'Reilly, member of the port Commission, concurred with all that bad been said by Secretary Ooodman and explained that it will be necessary to arrange se that steamers , in ' the off- ghoro trade-may seur fuel Without loss of three or more days. "The members of the commission are heartily in favor of the initiative meas ure providing for dredging of Oregon slough and giving the commission au thority 10 handle coal, for it means Im provement of the port and. that's what .we irors; for '.i- .

The business center of Portland Is on- the west side and , this section should re ceive proper consideration, say - the members of the park board. In a scheme of city wide development. Moreover the donations of property on the west side, say the members of the board, have greatly cut down expenditures that would otherwise have been neces sary. It is pointed out that If the past la any criterion the east 'side will have no cause for complaint as to possible discrimination in favor of the west eide. Division of opinion. Another objection put forward is that some members of the park board have expressed the intention of using the major part of the funds derived from the bond issue for the acquisition of new lands, while it is contended that the money should be used to develop lands already in possession of the city. The propriety of this contention is a matter open to discussion. It is of ex treme moment to the .'whole project The course to be adopted should give the park board the utmost concern. Financially and economically the argu ment Is all in favor of buying land. Educationally and prudently there is a strong point in the argument for devel opment' rather- than acquisition; The objection . raised Is .one that the park board admittedly . can not ignore, but the board finally replies to the argu-. ment by saying a a board that it has not yet definitely committed Itself to either policy. .
