A Johnson, Clackamas and Benton, re-
also a flagrant wrong, they say, to give
these men weakly salaries when they are
not working. This money, they claim,
comes from funds? Whioh are not only
contributed by the association but also
by the union and as they are members of
the organisation they' believe that they
ought to have something to say about
their disbursement "
The men talk some about applying for
a charter and organising a separate
union, but It Is hardly probable that this
will be done. In fact, it is said, that it
would be an unusual proceeding, if not an
unconstitutional one, to pursue such a
course. It Is doubtful whether a charter
would be granted as long as a similar
union is In existence in the same town.
There is certainly strong dissatisfaction
expressed by no small per oent of the
journeymen plumbers against the combine
effected by the association and the union,
and the sentiment may become so strong
in the near future asB to play havoc with
the parties to the transaction. None ot
the independent master plumbers have
been forced into the association as yet,
and they say they never will.,
The public is speaking of the combine
as the "Plumbers' trust," and by the ex
travagant prices being charged tor plum
bing recently,, fully realise that they are
footing the bills as a result of the quarrel.

Vic. Schilling Went to
South America.
r
Sailed From New York When
Disappearance Was
Published. '
When Victor A. Schilling, the city
ticket agent of the Harriman lines, dl
apeared. The Journal published the var
ious rumors, as to where he might have
gone. One rjumor had it that be was
on the way to Vladivostok k, and others
had him in Central America, and some
in South America. -
From some, unknown source, a rumor Is
in circulation today that the missing
Schilling has gone to South America, it
will be remembered that after Schilling
landed at Spokane he suddenly dlsap
peared from view. He was known to
have made a reservation of a berth on
the Great Northern train to Seattle.
There never was absolute proof that he
occupied the berth.
Now comes the story that he took the
Spokane Falls & Northern into British
Columbia It is the theory that he caught
the train and eventually made his awy
to the Canadian Pacific. Furthermore,
it is now believed that he made his way
over that line to the East and finally
reached New York. From there he went,
it is said, by vessel, to some Bouth
American pert about the time his disap
pearance was published here. Schilling'
knowledge of the Spanish language would
stand him in good stead.
One man goes so far as to state that
while Mr. Shelby, the , father-in-law of
the missing Schilling, went Blast re
cently to attend a gathering of express
agents, that he may have met his son-
in-law, though this is most Improba
ble. - Mr. Schilling may yet be heard
from again. '

Harbormaster Biglin
Will Make Them Toe :
the Line.
A vigorous administration Is promised
by Ben BIglln,1 appointed Harbor Master
of the City of Portland by Mayor Will
lams. Mr. Biglin has already undertaken to
correct . the sailor abuses, and has an
nounced his intention to carry out the
city ordinances relating to the duties of
a Harbor Master in a way hitherto un
attempted, Yesterday he served personal notice on
the two sailor boarding-house firms ot
this cityMessrs. Grant & Sullivan, on
the West Side, and "Mysterious" Billy
Smith and the White partners, on the
East Side, to cease enticing any more
seamen to leave their ships, and Ho con
form to the law on the subject.
When the sailor boarding house mas
ters were notified that they would have
to desist from enticing seamen , front
leaving vessels In port they denied that
they had been guilty ot such practices
They contend that the sailors leave the
Ships of their own free will. .
Mr- Biglin will try a new scheme for
enforcing the laws. Instead of making
arrests frequently and failing to prose
cute, as has been done many times In
the past he will undertake to board
every vessel that comes in and see that
the sailors are not tampered with.
Other law ordinances that the new Har
bor Master will enforce are:
To see that vessels are anchored her
low the Alblna ferry, on the west side
of the main ship channel; the vessels
to be moored with bow anchor out for
ward, and stream anchor out astern to
prevent ' the vessel from swinging across
the channel; they must not be aaohored
within 400 feet of any bridge or ferry line.
Tow boats coming up the river at night
time have frequently had to veer out of,
their course to avoid colliding with some
vessel Improperly , moored. ; :
All square rigged vessels while ' laying
rtoq!jf$teMnyi &ock. must 'havs "their
ioiewSjiior suspended ready for

Regulation lights must be displayed
at night and not less than 16 feet above
the deck. r - - - -'-.'',. '. .- ' .
Ballast or any material taken out of
a ship shalt not be thrown Into the Will
amette liver. ... i : . .
Workln fn conjunction with the City
Health Officer, all Vessels will be required
to keep their decks clean when in port.
A close watch will be kept on the fiver
front to see that no farbae Is thrown

ings. The engine house In Stephens' Addition and the one at Union avenue
and East Oak street are within a few minutes ot the grounds; and, further,
the engines on the west side of the river could reach this site quicker than
arty other.
It is, therefore, easy to see that this site will furnish tar better firs
protection than any other, and this is an important matter, both to the
Exposition management and the exhibitors as well.
-f This is the only site proposed where one lagoon Is already made and no
excavation for the other Is necessary, and where they can be supplied
.with pure water without expense or the tapping of the city mains therefor.
And they will not have to be of the tin-Dan order.
' PERMANENT BUILDING.'
This location being In the center of the city, a permanent building would
be of greater value there, to the people generally, than at any other place.
A block tor this purpose has been donated, and the cltisens of ths Central
East Side having no publlo buildings or parks, naturally feel that they
are entitled to particular consideration on that account
- PURCHASE OF PARK UNNECESSAHT.
The free use of these grounds is tendered whether the, park If pur
chased or not and a block for a permanent building will also be donated.
The park is offered at a reasonable figure In case the city should see fit
to purchase It, but this Is not necessary In order to have the Exposition
located there.
FINANCIALLY.
These grounds could be so easily reached that the gate receipts would
undoubtedly be much Urged than at other places suggested. And the build
ings could be erected, the grounds beautified and exhibits Installed at far
less expense than at any other place. No elevators, moving sidewalks, ele
vated roadways or expensive streets or grading would be necessary.
A FINE VIBJW.
The only poinjt urged against this location is the view. When we have
a view of our scenery from Portland Heights, the City Park, Willamette
Heights, from every bridge crossed, from nearly every front yard and back
yard In the city, from the Portland
merce and oter high buildings, why Is it necessary to cut down the gate -f
-f receipts to get it and Increase the expense of construction and installation
of exhibits therefor? The largest attendance will always be at night and
then there is no view of scenery, anyway. This site has been Indorsed by
-f the East Side Improvement Association, the Stephens, Clinton Kelly, -f
Brooklyn and Montavtlla Sub-Boards of Trade, and by a mass meeting of t
f the citizens of Mount Tabor.
