GENERAL NEWS GATHERED
ALONG THE RIVER FRONT

To mark the entrance Of the dredged
channel to the new wharf at Fort Hunt,
a five-pile dolphin is being erected by
contractors from this city. Steamboat
masters going into the new pier at the
Virginia fort will use these piles as a
guide. The new pier at Fort Hunt. I'M
like the old pier at that point. does not
extend to the channel bank, and is a
much smaller structure than the old one.
AS it was not brought out to deep
water. the water was taken to it by
means of cut through the Virginia
flats. Except for the daily trips made
by the army tugs to Fort Hunt, none
of the steamboat men would risk taking
their boats into the new pier owing to
the channel being unmarked and the
danger of going ashore.

peals to the public of Washington \are
therefore very apparent necessity in Ior-
der that the excellent work be finished
without deficit. 1t is an organized char
lty movement. supported entirely by pub,

nize the fact of the advantage of this
complete organization of charity work. fol-
thereby the old methods, when a large

funds, and charity was not dispensed
evenly, are done away with.

Mr.. Lisner's Suggestion.
The club plan for raising the sum OF
$4,000 needed to relieve the necessities
of the poor Of the District is suggested
by A. Lisner. He says the club plan
was 'splendidly successful last year; why
not this?" Mr.. Lisner suggests, also, that
the club fee be made S., and incloses
a check for that amount for his mem
bership. With the fee at s., Mr. Lisne,
explains only $500 members will be need
ed to cover the deficit named by the
charity managers. 1t is added that mem
bership fees should be sent to the Joint
finance committee, 81 G street. and the
sum can be ordered to be used either TO,
the joint charities, citizens relief or tu-
berculosis, according to the wish of the
subscriber.

ORDER BARS USE OF INFLUENCE

Because CT the great amount of infiu-

tons of police, Mai. Sylvester has taken
| occasion to remind the members of the
force of an order issued February 23,
1898. which bears upon the exercise of

says, should be familiar to the several
captains and members of their COM

with the view to his advancement, if
brought about by or with his knowledge
and consent will be considered sufficient
cause to retard his promotion.

Maj. Sylvester will promote them. and
not take men from other sections who

Maj. Sylvester says It is always his de-
sire to promote efficient men. He feels
that he knows more about their fitness
than do the influential friends of the
candidates.

Many members of the police force have
recently sought the assistance of infiu-

records have succeeded in amassins

! that such power may be delegated tC
a commission, 1t is, we believe, a fun
damental rule that the intent to del
egate such power must appear by un-
equivocal language or by necessary
implication.
I'VE contend that the power to ad-
just discrimination between localities
has not been delegated to the defend
ant by the Railroad Commission Act
of 1907, from which act the defend
ant derives all of it's powers.
1.-The powers to adjust discrimina-
tions as between localities not being
expressly granted to the Oregon Com
mission IL the power exists at all, it
must be found by necessary inplica-
tion, and the defendant, recognizing
the fact that such power is not ex-
pressly conferred upon it. claims that
such power exists by necessary impll-
cation from the provisions of Sec
tions 28, 30, and 55 of the Oregon
Act"
In support OF plaintiffs contentious
plaintiff relies upon the following
points:
THAT defendant has no power to
adjust rates on the ground Of un-
Just discrimination except where such
discrimination appears in a difference
In charges to shippers or to different
persons for a like and contempora-
neous service and this does not in

THAT If the court should hold that
discrimination between localities can
be considered by the defendant in adj
| justing rates, It is contended by the
plaintiff that such discrimination
must appear to exist I'm difference
| in charges for substantially the same
service, under like and similar cir
cumstances and conditions, and that
| If the service performed which is
alleged to constitute a discrimination
is shown to be different in character
and the circumstances and conditions
surrounding such performance to be
dissimilar, the charge of unjust dis
elimination must necessarily fail. In
these cases the service to Milwaukee
and Oak Grove is dissimilar and rem
dered under substantially different
circumstances and conditions to the
service to the localities alleged to be
receiving an undue preference and ad-
vantage.
"That the chief test as to reason
ableness of rates is whether or not
such rates furnish reasonable return
upon the capital invested in the busi-
ness of the carrier. That the main |
tenance of existing rates is necessary |
to furnish such reasonable return.
THAT neither the defendant nor
the court can speculate as to the
probable effect upon the business of
the carrier due to reduction in fares

That if any reduction should be
