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

TUB HOUSS OF KUPKNHIIMHI
. GUS KUUN. President
Successor to LXorrison
Steinbach ft Co. 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.

INDIANS' RIGHTS IN ISSUE
Allegation Also asade That Seafert
snd Others Kepeatedly Oat In
alan rishlng- Soow Adrift.
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. ' ;"''
If . when people are charged with
their: faults they were credited with
their good Intentions, there would be
more satisfactory - neighbors In the
world. ' -
