Old and Young' Join In Movement.
From Corvallis today came a letter
enclosing a check for one dollar. The
letter said: "Please find check for
one dollar for the Christmas Ship fund.
I only wish that I could give $100 to
ward such a worthy cause."
"I want these to go to some llttje
boy la Europe," said little Fred Beach
as he deposited with much serious
ness a box of dominoes In the hands
of the Christmas Ship editor.
Mrs. J. C. Ainsworth yesterday gave
The Journal an order for a bolt of
outing flannel, which was immediate
ly sent out to Mrs. L. V. Rawlings,
who with her neighbors and club mem
bers will make it up Into baby gar
ments. The bolt of outing flannel
given by Mrs. Holt C. Wilson, went
today to Mrs. W. Hull, president of
Chapter A of the P. E. O. sisterhood,
the members of that chapter planning
to make up children's garments.
Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Lightfoot
brought in a dozen pairs of woolen
stockings and said they would bring
some clothing next week. Dollar con
tributions were received from Mrs. A.
Watkina and from Mrs. Lilian Polk
of Corvallis. A big box of toys from
3-year-old Elizabeth Steele of Athena
arrived on the afternoon mail yester
day. Several people who declined to

"This is to buy outing flannel for

Margaret Robinson, as she deposited
$1.50 on the desk of the Christmas Ship
editor. Highly gratifying is the large
number of contributions of baby cloth
ing that yesterday found its way to
the great stack of Christmas gifts.
Those contributing little garments
were: Gladys and Eva Beachem, R.
W. Henneman, and two contributors
who failed to leave their names. One

Federated Clubs
Offer Indorsement
The Oregon Federation of Women's
clubs, when in annual convention at
Eugeno last week, passed a resolution
commending the Christmas Ship. Mrs.
F. S. Myers, of Portland, presented the
resolution, and it passed unanimously.
The resolution is as follows:
Whereas, by means of what i
Known as tne unnstmaa ship,' the
children of America are offered an op
portunity to give the suffering war
ridden people of Europe a tangible evi
dence of their love and sympathy;
therefore,
"Resolved. That this organization in
dorse and encourage this undertaking
as a worthy philanthropy and an ob
ject lesson for peace and brotherhood
to the coming generation of all na
tions.'

Mrs. E. A. Jobes and Mrs. C. M. Pier-
son offer some very valuable and prac

to make some, contribution to the
Christmas Ship, yet whose means will
not permit of large giving. They sug
gest papers of pins, safety pins,
needles, darning cotton, scissors.
combs, brushes, baby blankets and
comforters, packages of sweet choco

small quantities of cut sugar and other
Imperishable dainties, which will help
to make the cargo truly Christmas-like.

DE WOLF HOPPER MAKS
CONTRIBUTION lib SHIP
"To attach some litje Idea of prac
tical Joy and comfort to the belliger
ent 70 per cent of tho world seems
more or less difficult, but whatever
can be done in that direction. I heart
ily approve," said the Inimitable De
Wolf Hopper, as he deposited his con-tribution-to
the cargo of the Christmas
ship in the editorial rooms of The
Journal several boxes of toys, whlcn
Mr. Hopper claimed he had as much
at- mtie recipients
wQl have in playing
fun in buying
across the water
with them. .
"But.'' continued air. Hopper, "what
ever little practical jsense I am blest
with prompts me tOj suggest that the
gift of an axe to Sfh power In ques
tion, and to let therepresentatives of
the same be lockedjpip in a room and
use the gifts on each other, would be
a reasonable treatittjsnt for the unpre
cedented entanglement." -
a small sum will be raised in this man
ner. The ladies Interested in the
movement will. It was stated on good
authority this morning, each be re
sponsible for one suit box of toys and
goods, but this must be in their hands
By Tuesday, thus allowing only three
days In which to take the boxes to The
Journal office, in Portland, and pre
pare them for shipment. The last day
on which contributions will be received
in Portland is October 23.
A triangular tray to hold a piece of
pie un Harmed in a lunch box has been
invented.

XN FRANCISCO'S HANDLING OF WATERFRONT PROPERTIES SHOWS ADVANTAGE OF DEVELOPMENT OVER SPECULATION
i 'the Beginning Califor

CMfisas court (Winters vs. Myers,

Jj.nguage in an opinion declaring

belonged to all the people and

w it bout paying the occupant for
1 an exorbitant price, due to
retched and Illegal policy of ex
z - tho public totally from the
right of wharfage, and thereby put
ting it at the mercy of private greed.
Not only did the courts say in all
the Willamette cases prior to the pub
lic dock case that the acts of 1874-76
conveyed nothing, and that the ordi
nary high water line continued to be
the boundary between private owner
and the state, but in 1878, the legis
lature repealed them.
I repeat this for Mr. Coovert's bene
fit. He says, "the state cannot take
back what it once grants away," but It
can tas.e Dack that which it attempted
to give away and had not the power
to give. It can resume for the state
a trust which it attempted to ab-
act of 1874 excepted the Willamette
from the provisions of the general tide
and swamp land act, and proposed to
grant to adjacent owners any tide
lands which might etxst down to low
water. The act of 1876 extended this
exception to the Coos, Coquilie and
TJmpqua rivers. The courts held that
the banks of the rivers could not be
conveyed by these acts. Uoder the
common law and presumably not com
ing under the courts' Jurisdiction, tide
flats, not useful for navigation and
not forming a part of the bed of the
river, could be sold. At any rate,
quoting from the records of the state
land board, I find sales of tide lands
on these four rivers exclusive of their
bays between 1874 and 1913 to be as
follows:
Parcels. Acres. Price.
. . . . 4 135.6 246.10
... 3 99.12 198.24
.... 8 22.04 60.74
44 215.59 578.40
59 572.25 $1078.43
Not only does the above table dem- i
onstrate that the acts of 1874 and
1876 had not established a title in the
alleged grantees at the time they were
repealed, but displays the extent of the
loss with which the public Is threat
ened. In a period of 40 years, 59 par
els .-land aggregating 572 acres,
lor 11073,48, the proceeds on four of
the more important tideland streams
of the state.
' Then think of the sale of Dabney's
island in the Swan island terminal
district (cancelled by order of the
court), 11 acres for $22.50, while the
dock commission but a few years later
was compelled to pay $850 per front
foot, and you have an epitome of the
policy so dear to the hearts of the op
ponents of the waterfront hills and
so expensive to the public.
California's Practice.
Now let us turn from this painful
Picture to California, a state Which
?kS. Protect"l navigable waters and
their beds from alienation, by reas
serting the common law doctrine in
its constitution.
We will take the . one notable in
stance of the San Francisco water
front, owned by-the state and operated
by the state board of harbor commis
sioners since 1863.
It was not until 1879 that California
put the section against alienation into
its constitution, so we see that even
under the common law. the state was
wise enough to recognize the advan
tages of public ownership of a termi
nal which could be kept free to all
transportation on equal terms and
managed to maintain the public right
in the foreshore, for unobstructed
commerce.
The following figures show the re
turns to the state for a period of
60 years:
