Teal. traffic attor , ner for the Chamber of Commerce, at a meetlna of the transportation commit tee of the chamber yesterdav afternoon. Mr. Teal declared einphatlcatly that the decision as it stands la Injurious to Portland, but predicted thai In time It will be lewed aa a -Biessm in on- rtitae.' lie outlined a curse b which this -blessing-" may brallsed. which. In substance, consists of a determined ef fort for lower distributive rates out of Portland and a more eneral use of the water highways to and irora ire in terior aa well aa over the ocean. Distributive Kate Needed. He defined the position of Spokane and of Portland as esactly alike In con sequence of the decision, both places, as well aa every cltr In the Northwest situated on any one of the transconti nental lines, win be forced to compete with the Jobbing: houses of St. Louis. I'hlrifo and Omaha for trade in thla territory. Throuch this very situa tion, he said. Portland will be enabled to build up a area! manufacture In dustry, but not before something l done to obtalq better distributee rates. "A peculiar situation In connection with the case.- Mr. Teal explained. "Is that, although Spokane Is granted ter minal rates, the contention on which It based Its plea for terminal rates was not sustained that was that there was ard la no real water competition with the railroads at Portland. ' "The Commission has recognised tha fact that there la water competition, nut U deprive a water point, such as Portland, of the full effect of It nat ural position. Benefit In Long Kun Saen. "So far as the railroads are con cerned. It haa destroyed their ability to compete with water, it prevents a re duction In the terminal rates to meet water competition by compelling them automatically to make corresponding reductions to Interior points, in other words. It penalises the railroads for making rate reductions." Hr. Teal's report was heard by nearly the full membership of the committee, and at ita conclusion an earnest discus sion of the possible effects of the de cision was Indulged in. It waa the con. aensus of opinion expressed that Port land Is destined to profit through what now seems to be an adverse ruling by the development of local Industries. Tha report was referred to the ex ecutive committee of tha Chamber of Commerce. As tha new rates do not become effective until November IS. time, will be had to outline a course of action. Mr. Teal IU meet with the execu tive committee and elucidate the mean ing of the decision further. It is likely that' Mr. Teal will advise Immediate et.ps toward obtaining lower distribu tive rates to overcome the effects of Eastern competition. Severe Competition Augured. , -Jobbers In Missouri River cities and I Chicago and elsewhere in nai terri tory will cover all of this territory, aid Mr. Teal. "There can be no doubt but what tha competition will be se. Trt. This territory will be used In the future aa It waa once In the raat. as a dumping ground for their surplus, and to an extent that Is the character nt competition we will have to meet. What does an absorption of 7 cents a hundred pounds on drygooda and many other commodities amount to a Chi cago Jobber wanting to dispose or a product; -it la to b noted that the Coast rate cases asking for lower distribu tive rates have not been finally de rided. It may be that the Commission on considering our application for a rehearing, which Is pending, may make reductions that for the present w'll leave the relationship about as It Is and will not for tha present disturb trte relationship aa between Spokane and Portland. This, however, does not meet the changed condition resulting from throwing this territory open to Missouri River and Chicago Jobbers. or will It lo the end meet tha condi tions necessarily created by the change In the law aa construed by tha Com mission. Discrimination example Cltel. "I will take one rasa to Illustrate the situation: To Salt Lake from Om aha, a distance of looa miles, the Com mission has fixed 53 rents a hundred aa a reasonable carload rate on syrup with a carload minimum of 30.000 pounds and all kinds of mixtures al lowed. To Portland, based on a reduc tion of -9 per cent under ratea at tacked, a Portland syrup manufacturer ra ship for ti cents to Raker. J5 miles. If the rate to Salt Lake from Omaha Is reasonable, how will the rate we are forced to pay be char acterised? How are the manufacturers of the Coast and by thla expression 1 mean the entire territory. Coast or in terior) to meet conditions of this kind? The discrimination Is but emphasised when one considers that the rate on raw material In a number of Instances, such as glucose, la as high, and In oth er Instances, than on the manufactured article. Then, again, the carload mint mum on syrup from the Coast la 3.oo. and substantially no mixtures allowed. It Is time the true situation Is under stood. It Is time this city began to rsallse thla la not a 'Jobbers' ' fight, not a few grocers" seeking undue ad vantages, but the fight of a great com mercial center seeking only fair treat ment. Water Point Deprived. We have another situation here In thla section, where the same principle will unquestionably be applied. There Is strong water competition between Stn Francisco and Portland. The ratea to Willamette Valley points and points south In the State of Oregon are all based on the water competitive rate at Portland." Does this result in un just discrimination against Eugene. Roseburg or other points? Will the Commission say when tha application covering thla situation la presented that rates to polnta In the Willamette Valley and other polnta in Oregon on the lines of the Southern Pacific Com pany shall not exreed a given per centage of the competitive rate at Portland? If so, bow will this dtt ferentlsl be measured, and to what ex tent will the discrimination be al lowed? At present, as Is known. It I measured very largely by the local rate from Portland, f simply refer to this to give you some idea of the ap plication of the principle and how- far-reaching Its effect really la "It would, therefore, seem that I water point la by thla construction de prived In some measure of the benefit of ita natural advantages ao far aa respects lower rail rnrs based on nat ural competitive co-'.Itlons. and Ita advantage ia In a measure divided with other polnta not. so favorably located. "The necessary effect, it would seem, is three-fold. First, to cause the rail roads to favor Interior points as against competitive points. "I doubt If there Is a city In the t'nlted Statea aa favorably situated as Portland from a transportation stand point. Strategically It could not be better. It Is at the Junction of the ocean and three great rivers.. Through the ocean we have water competition north and south coastwise, and to the entire Atlantic and Gulf - seaboard lKwn the Willamette Valley, prob ably the richest area of like else In the t'nlted States, and easily capable of supporting a population of several millions, the river can be made safely navigable to Eugene. To the east the Columbia and Snake rtvera drain the Inland Empire. I know of no other city so situated. Used, the water Is our natural Instrument of offense and defense. I'nused. It become but work of nature grand and beautiful to look upon. , "This city alone can furnish the traf fic to maintain fleets of boata on all our rlvera and a direct ocean service as well. The advantage of our post tlon will be .forced on us by this deci sion, and we will be compelled to use water. The decisions. In my opinion. will be blessings in disguise. More over, under these decisions water traf flc Is protected and encouraged to i far greater extent than It could be by any subsidies a Congress could granC Channel AVork Demanded. ' "This brings me to a consideration of this question, and the policy we should pursue as It Impresses me. First The greatest possible use must be made of water In and out- The Im provements at 4he mouth and at other portlona of the river must be pushed rigorously and maintained. Our har bor and dock facilities must be of the most modern type, that freight can be exchanged readily and at "the loweat possible coat. Points of exchange should be established at varloua places long the river. "Second We must .never cease In our contest for reasonable distributive ratea by rail. This Is not a matter of aentlment. but of right and necessity. "Third Attention haa heretofore been directed to many of the members of this committee and others, to the necessity of building up territory con tiguous to thla city and which Is nat urally tributary thereto. Too little at tention haa been paid to this In the past, probably upon the assumption that It was not the personal concern of any particular Individual. These de risions certainly emphasise the abso lute necessity of our doing all that we can to develop adjacent territory. The necessity of co-operation Is also em phasised. It la not generally known that the City and County of Spokane participated In the trial of the Spokane- case, appearing by counsel at a number t hearings and appropriated money in large amount for carrying on these cases. Moreover, at every hearing I attended, even the last one at Washington, a number of the most prominent buslnesa men of Spokane were in attendance. The entire Coast la vitally Interested In the case, yet excepting on one or two occasions, no representative of any Coast city, other than myself, was present. This is not the way this subject must be dealt with. Co-operation la Urged. "I do not know that I have the capacity to Impress upon you or upon our rltixens the Importance of these cases, or make them understand that all of our Interests are indlssolubly united and affected by the outcome. This city and thla state must realise that It Is no longer In swaddling clothes. We must realise that railroads now operate under Governmental regula tion and that regulation Is here to stay. That only by taking advantage of oor natural opportunities and seeing that we are not deprived of them, and obtaining reasonable rates on all com modities and for everyone ran true and stable development be eecure. "It must be recognlxed" that trans portation nffecta every one and on a rate may depend the growth and ex pansion of a community with all that It Implies. I have undoubted faith In the future. I ran see no reason why the prophecy 'that by reason of her position and natural advantages, Port land Is certain to be the largest city on the Pacific Coast. Ia not now In process or fulfillment. That prophecy may be realised earlier or later, dependent on ourselves. If we ran make the people of this city feel this contest Is their contest, and that loyalty to their own and the city's best Interests demanda concerted action, the prophecy will be fulfilled In the near future."

CITY ATTORNEY DELVES Official Asked About Street Vaca tion for Auditorium Learns That Act Is Not Likely to He tn Way Decision Penda. While City Attorney Grant If unable, at thla time, to give a final opinion. In response to an Inquiry from Theodore B. Wilcox, chairman of the Public Auditorium Commission, Information which he has obtained Is to the effect that the Zleglcr amendment to the clty'a charter Is unconstitutional and therefore will not stand In the courts when tested. That the city cannot forbid the vaca tion of streets tn one section and per mit vacations in other sections. Is the contention of attorneys who have made a study of street-vacation subjects. What City Attorney Grant may advise the members of the Auditorium Com mission to do Is conjecture at this time. He Is unable to give an opinion until he haa gone carefully Into the pro visions of thf Ziegler amendment, which Is popu'rly supposed to forbid the vacation of streets st any point 1000 feet from any meander ltne of navigable water within the city limits. Whether thla amendment, which waa voted last June, really does prohibit street vacation within the limit, seems doubtful, say attorneys. If a literal ac ceptance of the language is to settle the question. The language la difficult to understand In places. As an exam ple, the following excerpt Is cited by lawyera: "The rights of the city therein (streets) shall not be divested or va cated for a distance of 2000 feet from any meander line of any navigable water, or inno feet from any railroad depot or terminal yard. Provided, that at a greater dtr.tance than specified above, except that the ordinance of va cation shall require a vote of at least three-fourths of all the members of the Council and the approval of the Mavor." Mr. Wilcox. In his letter to Mr. Grant, does not ask for an opinion touching on the Ziegler amendment, simply con fining himself to the question of the method of procedure In the vacation of streets. Under the provisions of the chsrter prior to the adoption of this amendment, a majority (eight) of the members of the City Council could vacate streets. If the Mayor approved: If he vetoed such an ordinance. It re quired 10 members to pass It over his veto. After Mr. Grant makes a thorough Investigation of the provisions of the degler amendment and satisfies him self whether it Is constitutional, he will give an opinion covering the en tire subject. It may be that he will see his way clear to advise the Auditorium Commission that It can proceed after the .Council haa vacated a street neces- ry to afford the amount of space re quired tn build the auditorium, which was also ordered by the vote of the people at the same time the amendment was adopted. The. only difficulty In the premises, those Interested say. Is that all of this legal tangle delays an Important public project. GARBAGE CAUSES CLASH State Official I'rges Burning While City Officer Is Opposed. Condemning the disposal of the city garbage and the placing ef the crema tory within the city limits. Dr. Calvin S. White. State Health Officer, . waa strong In hla denunciation of the pres ent system of garbage disposal In Portland, following a tour of Inspec tion over the Guild's Lake dump and the city crematory yesterday. Ir. White said: "I know of no city aa large as Portland that dumps Its garbage within its city limits. As a measure of protection to the city, the garbage dump at Guilds Lake ought tb be burned. While the dump Is burn ing I would prevent any more garbage being put there. The assertion that the people living thereabouts would be smoked from their homes should not atop action. The people would be the better for the smoke and there would be much leaa menace than from the flies and the rats." .Dr. C. U. Wheeler. City Health Offi cer, under wnoso directions tne city dump and crematory is conducted, de nied -lost night tnat tne placing or a city dump In a center of population Is a menace to the people. "It Is well known by the medical profession, he said, "that there is no danger In hav ing a city crematory In the heart of the city. In New York the crematory is on an island near the center of the city. The city crematories or Galves ton. Milwaukee and Oakland are all close In and In Chicago the crematory is In a thickly populated district. "We are so far from wanting to set fire to the Guilds Lake dump that we have placed a two-Inch pipeline there to use In case it snouia eaten nre, ana have strictly forbade smoking on the pile. Mayor Rushlight and myself were ordered by one of the workmen t the last Inspection or tne dump to remove cigars from our llpe. In ac cordance with orders I had given the workmen. It would be a great mis take to set fire to it." WOOL TRADE ENCOURAGED lotto Dealer to Build Kxport Depot on Peninsula. To make Portland the shipping cen ter for wool and hldea for a territory covering the Northwestern states and inter-mountain states, j. K. iiampie. a Rntta wool dealer, will begin the con struction soon of a warehouse on the Peninsula end will In future handle all shipments from that region. A two-acre site near the stockyards has been purcnased. where Mr. Hample's buildings and headquarters will be es tablished. The warehouse will be fire proof. The main building will be bout aoo D '" ! Mr Hamnle'a initial Investment will Involve several thousands of dollars. It Is understood that plans will be formulated Inter for the establishment of woolen mills on the Peninsula. HIGHER PAY "IS SHUNNED Mayor's Secretary, George MrCord, Says He's Too Patriotic. Please let me help you to an In crease in your salary. I beg of yon not to do anytliing to increase my-salary." While the above may not be exactly hat waa said by certain members of the City Council to George K. McCord, private secretary to Mayor Rushlight, they carry the import. The spectacle of a public official re fusing to allow any one to help him In a proposal like thte is so unheard of that it has attracted great attention at the City Hall. No one can explain It not even Mr. McCord, who can only say that he hates to have any one bother him about salary. "I don't care for more salary; I'm too patriotic," Is the only explanation ho gives. This unusual streak of patriotism has been discovered since an agitation was started In the. Council to create the position of assistant to the Mayor, at a salary of perhaps $200 a month. It Is conceded' that the salary of pri vate secretary $75 Is Inadequate for the responsible position. Should the new office be created. Mr. McCord would be in line for the -place, and certain members of the Council, in tell ing him they Intended voting for the creation of the new Job, developed the phenomenon. WATER MAY SHRINK AGAIN Sprinkling, Except In Morning Hours, Is Still Prohibited. During the past three days, the wea ther being slightly cooler, the city's reservoirs gained about 2.500.000 gal lons of water, according to a statement by Superintendent Dodge, last night. However, it would not be surprising to him should that gain be entirely wiped out. In case the weather becomes warmer. ' Sprinkling In hours other than from E to 8 A. M. is still prohibited by order of the Water Board and this will con '... ..n,il v. nAw ntrteline from Bull Run River Is connected with the Mount Tabor reservoirs. This is now esti mated to be about August 15. Meanwhile, there are numerous com plaints throughout the city on account of the water shortage. In some sec- in. ., Km, ntv Park, there is not enough water for the morning sprinkling. Superintendent uouge says this Is true only where there are small pipes: that all districts which are prop erly piped have a fairly good supply of water from 5 to 8 every morning for sprinkling purposes. "The results that have been obtained l.v cutting off the privilege of sprink ling In the evening." said Superintend ent Dodge, "show that the Board's order was a wise one. It has 'been found that the only way to relieve a situation of this kind Is by Just such action. If the evening sprinkling privilege were to be restored now, the reservoirs would go dry and the city would he at the mercy of flames should a fire occur. People must be patient and bear with the department until conditions can be remedied by means of the new conduit" Superintendent Podge says that the water at C. K. Henry's home was never shut off; that the Inspector told the family he would shut It off. but his key. for some reason, failed to fit the stopcock at the curb and he did not turn the water off. "Mr. Henry felt aggrieved because the water waa shut off." said Superin tendent Dodge. "He was mistaken, as the Inspector did not shut It off. Mr. Henry evidently thought that, after paying for water, he should be per mitted to use It, no mRtter what hap pened. It must be orne in mind by the citizens at this time that It Is only for the good of the entire city that the Board has shut off the sprinkling privi leges In the evening." . i 1 BIG ASSEMBLY ASSURED Oregon Development League Expects Thousands at Astoria. Attendance at the convention of the Oregon Development League In . As toria, August 14-16, will be exception ally large, especially 'from the smaller cities of the state, according to earli est Indications. C. C. Chapman, man ager of the publicity bureau of the Commercial Club, has received a letter from Mosler, announcing the appoint' ment of 12 delegates, a representation which he regards as especially credit able considering Mosler's population. Delegations from other towns promise to be in the same proportion, assuring a total delegation of between 400 and 500. The meeting of the Oregon Develop ment League will be held In the Cen tennial auditorum in Astoria. This building Is capable of accommodating 3000. In addition to the official del egations, the League expects enough visitors at the convention proceedings to call for the large accommodation offered In the auditorium. The members of the Mosier delega tion are among the first who have been chosen snd whose names have been forwarded to Mr. Chapman. The Mo sler' delegation Includes Jeff Mosler, spokesman; C. A.

FAIR STAMP'S USE WAITS "In San Francisco" .Is Added to Original Text. "World's Panama-Pacific Exposition In San Francisco, 1S15" is the text of the cancellation stamp, the adoption of which Is pending before the local postal authorities and will be decided as soon as Frank H. Hitchcock, Postmaster-General, has ratified it. The original stamp In use in the principal cities of the Coast, omitted the words "in Ban Francisco." and the new form has been submitted to Mr. Hitchcock by the Exposition Board, with the re quest that it be adopted. - A letter containing a ropy of the new stamp was sent recently to the Portland Commercial Club by Charles ('. Moore, president of the Panama Pacific Exposition. It was submitted by the club to Postmaster Merrick, who baa withheld his rflecislon, waiting Postmaster - General Hitchcock's rati fication. Objection has been raised here against the amended stamp, on the ground that if letters were mailed from Portland carrying a cancellation stamp with the word "San Francisco" on them It might be confusing.
