HHtHHtHtHtHHHrHHH Preparing for - Work in Douglas Roseburg, Or., May 1 . Acting upon instructions from State Highway Engi neer Cantlne, who spent two days in specting toe Pacific highway in Doug las county this week, Irvine Watson, an assistant to the state engineer, is in Roseburg preparatory to supervis ing the survey for a new road in Cow creek canyon and improvements of other parts of the Pacific highway in Douglas county. The new road to be constructed In Cow creek canyon will be about four miles long and will connect , with the two miles of new road recently com pleted there by the county. It will be of standard 24 foot width. . The $20, 000 recently appropriated by the state highway commission, will be utilized on this new road. Germond & Frear, Roseburg surveyors, have been em ployed by the county to assist the state engineer In the work, which will begin immediately. Four other needed improvements to the highway in Douglas county have been decided upon. These will be work on the Pass creek canyon road, partial elimination of the grade on the road leading beneath the Southern Paclfio trestle south of Oakland, reducing the grade and widening the road over Rob erts mountain, eight miles south of Roseburg, and the improvement of the road over the Glendale hill.

Tha Chicago harbor commisison, or ganized in late years for the purpose of trying to retrieve the mistakes of the past, quotes Seattle as "an exam ple of a. port which started out with the deliberate intention of having a public water terminal.' hut finds. Itself thwarted In that respect," , by 1 the vo racity of private speculation in public utilities and their basic properties. . The constitution of the state- of Washington, formed on ! its admission to the union in 18S9, provides that the state shall establish an inner and an outer harbor line in front of and- ex tending one mile on either side of the boundaries of the town, which lines shaliv be not less than 50 nor more than 600 feet apart, the area between which "shall not be sold nor granted by the: state, nor Its right to control the same relinquished, but such area shall be forever reserved for landings, wharves, streets "and other conven iences of commerce and navigation. Strip Was &aid Off, Under this "provision of the organic law of the Btate the harbor line com missioners laid off a strip about 250 feet wide on all the Seattle frontage. The federal pierhead line coincides with the outer line. The state, how ever, leased to private lessees this area for SO year periods at nominal rentals, but it has at least served the purpose of preventing an entire oblit- ration of the public right by the pri vate right, -so that when the public came to buy. It did not have to pay such absurdly exorbitant figures as it had to do In Portland. The Seattle port commission goes on to say lp Its 1914 report: "To the layman it appears that it Is not yet too late for the state to aid its water gateway cities by recovering the fore shore, s The tide land cases in the supreme court of California, the Stee ple Park case in New York, the Chi cago and Cleveland cases. Indicate such property to be inalienable, and. as Justice Brewer said, 'held by the state by virtue of its sovereignty in trust for the people. "The recovery of the foreshore would iof course reclaim for Seattle tha-public monopoly of the waterfront and insure her commercial success in competition with state aided Pacific ports of California and British Co lumbia. Such result would 'be a cu rious consummation of the proposal of thei territorial legislature and the city, council, embodied in H. R. 1160, recommended for passage In congress in April, 1874. granting the Du- wamlsh tideflats to the city.' The report states further that wharf sates occupying the area below ordl nary high water reserved by law for public commerce should not be capital ized, but shippers should be obliged to pay only on the basis of the cost of construction of the necessary facili ties. "The fact that San; Francisco 'is" not required to .use the public credit to acquire sites, makes it pos sible for them to have today a work ing surplus fund of over $300,000. In addition they, have' the magnificent properties, acquired without levying any taxes whatever upon the property of the people or the state. A recommendation of Commissioner Bridges relative to costs of dock sites, is that they should be acquired en tirely from a fund derived from taxa tion Instead of belong charged against the port commerce, thereby enabling the port to compete with other Pacific ports where the wharf area is pre served as a public property. The line is thus clearly drawn be tween public occupancy and control of the area of terminal waters, other than the necessary I fair ways for their utilization in behalf of public water commerce, or whether they shall be submitted to the domina tion of private speculators therein, and the railroads, whose Interest therein Is to crush water competition. . The outcome will depend upon whether the people are servile enough, at the In stance of political bosses, to take Candidates' Quiz ; To Take Place, in - Library Tonight Representatives from the va-i rious organizations -and church Brotherhoods affiliated with: the Public Welfare Federation will meet tonight la room E, Central library, to consider the qualifications of various candi. dates for city offices. Charles E. Lenon. of the law firm of Jeffery, Lenon & Am- brose. Is president of the feder- ation and John Bala is secre- tary. Among the organizations affiliated with the federation are the i Municipal association, Anti-Saloon league. State W. C. T. U.. County W. C. T. u:. Pro- hiWtlon iparty and a?number of ijr- church Brotherhoods. Ht' : The federation was organized prior to the last municipal elec- tion. presfdent Lenon said to- day it is probable, that the fed " eratlon will endorse four -or more candidates for city com. mlssloner and also will likely go on record as strongly op- posed to certain candidates. GOVERNMENT TAKES OFFENSIVE AGAINST RICH CANNERYMAN fright at the responsibilities of re taining these public properties, and thereby forego the benefits of free water commerce, which has proven it self to be the factor which controls the destinies of the greatest markets of the world, and far outweighs, in material increment, any difficulties or costs attendant upon the public ad ministration thereof.

V O At Fourth tinued Mr. Elvers. "The chamber should start an agitation and show the necessity of holding up this port in stead of helping the ports of Puget sound. Any goods coming airect to our company are always cleared in Portland. Goods that we buy through other importers, of -course, we have no control ovai but our aim is always to have them cleared here whenever it is possible for us to influence those importers. Clearings O rowing x.ess. "The Importance of this can be rec ognized from the fact that while the wholesalers of Portland are getting as many goods as ever from forelgu ports, the clearings here are growing less and lesa. The reason for this Is because of the lack of thought and care that the subject deserves. "Let a strong committee be appoint ed by the chamber to Investigate the needs of this port thoroughly and per sistently keep after all Importers until they bring about the change.. "Jt Is of value to every importer to make the clearings here as large as possible. Only through thoughtlessness has it been that the matter has not been given full attention before." Some importers have stated the rea son they have allowed thei goods cleared through the port of entry rath er than through the Portland customs house was because tf the' greater con venience. : This idea Is contradicted by Mr. Devers, II. D. Hamsdell and other large importers whose experience has taught them that closer consideration is given by customs officials here than at other ports. Aside from tbe mere statistical showing this port (would make if all goods were cleared here, they point out definite and imme diate advantages to the importers themselves. ? . . vOret Wrong Done. W. D. "Wheelwright of the pacific Export Lumber company stated today that it is a gross wrong to allow im ports -to be credited to the busines of Seattle and Tacoma that by every right belongs to this port. Chamber', of Commerce officials, who have been for months studying - the reasons that lie back of Portland's retrogression as a port, have found that even in the general customs, de partment at Washington there is great misunderstanding of the actual volume of business done : here. One report issued not so long ago Ignored Portland completely. Wheat and flour exports that were made di rectly out of Portland were credited to Seattle, although as -a ma tier of fact, the shipments did not go through Seattle at all. That more of the important steam ship lines would make Portland a regular port of call if the merchant insisted upon it and if business that is now diverted, to Puget sound were routed out or Portland is the conten tion of many importers who have been making use of the port privilege. Ho Excuse Been. With the water grade haul from the great wheat centers, the rich back country that should supply cargo for many times the number of vessels now touching here, these men say there is no excuse for the constant diminution of tha clearings here In favor of rival Pacific coastj gateways. i Steamship j owners prefer to have their ships loaded with income-bringing freight rather than, ballast for their trips into Portland. Jt is nat ural, therefore, that they would bo less willing to send their ships here for loading of wheat and lumber and other products centering at Portland If they have to bring them empty. Ifaturally the rural ports that have goods" for export, but which absorb the greater Quantity of imports, will get the ships. j For that reason, it If pointed out, the exporters themselves are as In terested as the Importers in , seeing that all the Imports are cleared here. Collector Burke has stated! that steamship men will be more willing to make this port when they see more and more goods that are landed at other ports sent in bond to Portland lor clearing.

After putting in several years 'at fruitless efforts to " compromise, the United States government today took definite steps to compel F. A. Seufert, wealthy Dalles salmon canning man and political power, to cease his ef forts to drive Indians from the fish-ing- grounds of the Columbia above The Dalles. Acting on telegraphic orders from United States Attorney Gregory, Dep uty, United States Attorney Rankin today secured a temporary order re straining Seufert Brothers from fish ing at a point at the head of Three Mile rapids on the Columbia and Dep uty United States Marshal Jackson was sent to The Dalles to serve it.. At the same time information was filed which makes the sensational al legation that Seufert Sr. and his sou. Frank Jr as well . as tbelr employes repeatedly cut loos a fishing scow owned - by an Indian. Sam Williams, causing It to be wrecked several times and In at least one instance endanger ing - the Uvea of Williams' employes who were on the scow when forced Into the rapids where it finally lodged among; the , rocks half a .mile below, r I this connection the government charges': no less than 10 separate of fenses, ranging from actual - wreckings of tha fishing scow to threats of bod ily harm on tha part .of the Seuterts or-employes.'. ".". t-:s . "'";. Nr It is also intimated that Seufert Sr. has used his political Influence in an effort to deprive Williams of his light and in addition constructed a concrete wall, 4t feet long, three wideband from one to five- feet, high at tbe fishing point claimed by Williams. This was named Seufert dock No.-. 1, and - the government invtts information asserts it was erected, for the sole purpose of depriving Williams of bis fishing rights. , - The complaint ia based on an old treaty made by tha government with the Indians in 1855 which granted them the right to fish at their usual and accustomed places on the" river. Williams firstv fished . at the point above the rapid- in- 1910, having suc ceeded old Wasco Charley, following Charley's death. He first fished there with a net and later secured a fish wheel scow. A short time afterward. It is said, Seufert Sr. declared he in tended to drive the Indians away from the grounds, where he controls many wheels and operates a virtual monop oly. In pursuance of this alleged plan. It la said, two employes, aided once or twice personally,' either by Seufert or his son, began warfare against Wil liams.
