r ' falem, Or, Aug-. 21 It is noticeable
that two men appointed by Senator Dnn

" $15,000 as Oregon's share of the ex-

"., . blltties at Celilo Kails, have refused to

: ' such refusals usually mean something.
, 1 Thoae who are pretty close to the in
" (tide workings of the late legislative
assembly declare these refusals mean
that Senator Butler of Wasco and Sen
ator Burgess of Umatilla, the two who
' j. bare refuged the appointment, won't

promtse, nor for the brand of politics

The promise was that if enough of

their opposition and vote to pass the
Day bill over the governor's veto,

' While it is declared that this broken

The first bill introduced in the legls
'Mature providing for an Investigation of

J. placed the investigation in the hands
of the state engineer, where , Governor
West declared it belonged. But this
; did not satisfy the machine at all. 8en-
, ator Day insisted that a special com-
mlttee should be appointed to do the
work. A committee was sent to confer
with a like committee from the stato
, of Washington. Senator Day was a
' member of that committee, and the
v course aroused considerable antagonism.
History of the Bills.
?, Two bills were later Introduced, one
- providing- fot a legislative committee of
two' senators and - two representatives
J" and the state engineer, to make the in
,;' vestlgatlon, and the other providing
that the desert land board do It. The
. J firs bill was passed and vetoed by the
; rovernor, en the ground that the Inves
ts ligation should have been left to the
J -state engineer, who was qualified and
- was the logical official to make it. The
fight then was to pass the bill over the
,- governor's - veto and kill the measure
: )-K putting the investigation up to the
desert land board.
V MoXrthur Jfames Kaoalne Men.
The one chief objection to the vetoed
v bill was the general belief that the
j, measure was providing a place for Sen
ator Day, and If he were on the com
, mlttee bis past activities indicated there
" would be no harmony unless he dom-
'i ' Inated it. To overcome this and secure
enough votes to pass the bill over the
veto It Is asserted that "promises were
made, one being by Senator Malarkey,
who agreed that he would not appoint

The camels, one of features of parade that delighted the children.
What matters it wnether there is war
in Mexico or whether one can see
through the mysteries of the X-ray
skirt?
The circus is in town, in witness
whereof throngs of little young folks
and young big folks lined some down
town sidewalks this morning to the
point of suffocation and "saw the pa
rade." And as it passed, the streets
were gay with toy balloons, souvenir
canes, pennants and noise-making trink
ets, another tell-tale indication that
the "big day" Is here. It will not be
repeated here this time,
There are circuses and circuses and
parades and parades, and though it is
sometimes sarcastically argued that
"they are all alike," it Is generally un
derstood that the TUngling Brothers'
pageant is somewhat out of the ordi
nary, and so it was voted by the crowds
which saw the parade today.
Probably the "new-looking" appear
ance of the big turnout was its most
noticeable feature, after the splendid
horses, many and unusual wild animals,
and elephant and camel herds had been
considered. The clroua wagons glittered
and sparkled like floats from fairyland,
and the great circus family members
were all arrayed in attractive dress.
New floats and features have been
added to the Rlngllng attraction since
its last visit to Portland and as a
whole the parade was voted "better than
ever." The floats of all nations is' still
retained as one section of the turnout,
and the bands and clowns are more
numerous than ever.
The music of the caliope, sweetest of
all to the ears of the youngsters, was
of the latest publication. Circus at
taches did good work in keeping the
long parade moving and maintained the
best of behavior among the marchers
and animals,, in line.
This afternoon the first of four per
formances scheduled for Portland is be
ing given at the circus grounds, Twenty
sixth and Raleigh streets. There will
be another show tonight, one tomorrow
afternoon and a final performance to
morrow night.
RECREATION DECK WLL
. BE CONSTRUCTED ON
NEW EAST SIDE DOCK
A- "
(Continued Fron Pago One.)
" the slow burning material method. It
was explained that in Germany the large
dock owners had abandoned the steel
or iron idea for the sheds, as being extra
unwarranted cost. The otherftjnembers
of the commission preferred wie strict
ly fireproof plan.
Charles B. Moores of the dock com
mission reluctantly consented to any in
crease in the cost of the dock. He said
he wanted the total cost kept as low
as possible in view of criticism that pub
lic funds had not been guarded as they
should in the past.'
JUcreatlon Plan Championed.
City Commissioner Brewster champ
ioned the public recreation plan earnest
ly. He insisted that the dock commis
sion should be willing to meet the city
part way in order to insure the erec
tion of the recreation pier. It was
pointed out by Chairman Mulkey that
the dock commission had no available
lunds on hand, aft?r taking care of!
present obligations, to uso for carrying
out the pleasure Idea.
"With a bonded indebtedness of $2,
500,000 facing us, we. as trustees of the
people, are expected to see that a sink
ing fund is provided to meet the in
terest on the bonds,' he said.
It was finally decided that, after
meeting its obligations, the dock com
mission would have left 175,000 which
could be used Jointly with, the remain
ing funds to be furnished by the city.
A hitch In the title to the Martin
dock site developed. It appears that no
trace can be found of one Clark Kllott,
owner of part of the property. Rec
ords show that a deed passed about 40
years ago.
The commissioners want to know If
Kllott is married or single. Affidavits
are necessary to clear the cloud that
now appears on the title. Attorney La
tourette advised that the city be pro
tected by an indemnity bond.
The meeting, which was held in the
offices of the dock commission in the
Wooster building, was attended by Dock
Comissioners Mulkey, Moores, Kellaher
ami Burgard, and Mayor Albee, and Com
missioners Dleck, Bigelow, Brewster and
Daly.
A delegation of women, L. M. Leppcr
of the east side improvement clubs.
and a representative of the Greater
rortland Plans association, were present
to urge the cause of the recreation pUr.

INNOCENT PURCHASER
CASE IS DETERMINED
Forfeiture of Large Tract of
Land Near Medford Decreed
by Judge Bean,
Another forfeiture of lands, "Inno
cently purchased," from the Oregon &
California railroad land grant, was
made yesterday with a decree signed by
Federal Judge R. S. Bean. The owner
of the land and defendant in the suit
Is Dr. Edward Fowler, a physician of
Cleveland, Ohio. This is the twenty
seventh forfeiture under the "innocent
purchaser" statute that has been made.
Forty-five of the suits have been
started by Glenn E. Husted, appointed
special assistant to the attorney gen
eral to especially prosecute these cases.
Under the terms of the statute, the
defendant, after agreeing to the for
feiture, is required to buy the lands
back again at a rate of S2.50 an acre
within six months after the forfeiture.
Dr. Fowler owner 2000 acres of the
land, which is located In Jackson coun
ty, close to Medford. Nearly 10 years
ago he financed a cooperative associa
tion of eastern people who were going
to log off the lands and ultimately
turn the lands into fruit growing sec
tions. The project failed, and -Dr. Fow
ler took over the lands in compensation
for the loan. Attorney Husted conduct
ed the hearing in Cleveland in May.
Fowler testified as the principal wit
ness, and said that he had been trying
to dispose of the property.
Five or six other of the innocent pur
chaser cases are to be taken up in a
short time here before Miss Vivian
