In the reorganization of the Port of Portland Commission yesterday, a pro ceeding: that was largely perfunctory except for seating: Captain B. W. Spencer, the only new member, the in cumbents of different offices were re elected and the same committee ap pointments made. Erskine Wood, of counsel for the Port, administered the oath in com pliance with certificates received from Salem after the last Legislative As sembly cad confirmed the present per sonnel. S. M. Hears remains as president, R. D. Xnman vice-president, Joseph Good man secretary, and D. C O'Reilly treas urer. A communication was received from E. H. Dodge, the outgoing member, in which he expressed pleasure In having been associated with the Commission and said that he retained the same in terest In its affairs and would be ready always to assist in furthering Its ob jects. Operations Are Shown. M. Talbot, general manager, present ed a report of operations for 1912 and a comparison with 1911. The statement sets forth that in 1912 the operating expenses of the public drydock were 514,671.01 and the earnings J17.407.33, while in 1911 the expenses were J12,- 124.42 and the earnings $16,075.69. The installation of additional machinery and facilities last year increased the ex penditures. Overhauling and repair work, to gether with greater outlay demanded, as they were in competition with the Puget Sound Tugboat Company, were features taken into consideration in the towage department, yet expenses for 1912 were J28.670.79, against 837. 459.36 the year before. The earnings for 1912 were J56.617.13 and in 1911 they reached $84,111.60. In the dredging department earn ings for 1913 were J49.lll.74 and in 1911 they were J2o.793.05 and material handled on a wardage basis In 1912 was 3,417,379 yards, against 3,360,508 in 1911. Expenses for operating the launch Marie were lowered from $2159.38 in 1911 to J1C75.40 last year. The Increase In operating expenses of tho drydock was $2546. o9 and in the towage and pilotage department J9024.93, but the decrease In the dredg ing department was J34.159.29 and on the launch Marie $438.98, bo the total decrease reached $23,026.76. Opposition Withdraws Tug. Opposition in towage and pilotage at tne mouth ol the river ended February - 22 with the withdrawal of the last tug of the Puget Sound Tugboat Company's fleet, so the ensuing year promises to , be less expensive to a small extent, thought an efficient service will be maintained. The dredges Columbia and "Willamette are under contract to the Government for several montht and the Commission only has the Port land, which will be placed in service soon after a general overhauling. A report was presented that efforts are being made to obtain marine in surance on the dredge Columbia in the sum of $160,000. as she is engaged in digging a channel north of Sand Is land, where stormy conditions may he encountered. The dredge Is now cov ered by about a third of the amount Statistics are being compiled as to the probable amount of coal that will be used here In a year by liners and tramp steamers, and when it is ascer tained definitely how much fuel can be obtained in British Columbia, also the price, a detailed report will be made. Towboat to Be Supplied. At the instance of the Royal Mail Steamship Company, which will start the new Oriental service from Port land in April with the British steamer Harpagus, the commission amended a resolution passed last year granting the company freo pilotage over the Columbia River bar, and will furnish a towboat for shifting the liners in the harbor. The same concessions were made to the Hamburg-American fleet, which will have Its first steamer here In May, the Slthonia. YrCATAX TO CAItRV KJtEIGHT Geo. Klder AViil Be Laid Off for Overhauling. As soon as oil burners are installed and other changes made the steamer Yucatan, which C. P. Doe. head of the North Pacific Steamship Company, ac quired after she was wrecked in north ern waters about two years ago. will be placed on the run between Portland tuid California ports as a substitute for the steamer Geo. W. Elder, which is to be overhauled and have new boilers .Installed. The Yucatan will he used for trans porting freight, as her passenger ac commodations were not rehabilitated since the accident. It is said the com pany contemplates maintaining a force of carpenters aboard while in transit and the cabins will be rebuilt and staterooms rearranged. C.n0 BRINGS BIG CARGO Half of Steamer's Load Made T"p of Steel From East. On the arrival of the Arrow line steamer Camino she will have 700 tons of steel from New York to discharge here, the shipments beinsr about even ly divided between the Willamette Iron & Steel Works and the Northwest steel Company. She haa 100 tons of bonded cargo and S50 tons of other freight from the Atlantic side. This Is one of the largest cargoes brought for the American-Hawaiian fleet, for which the Arrow line arts In handling business between here and San Francisco. On her last voynge here the Camino had little Atlantic Coast cargo, as she massed connections with the big freighters plying north from the west ern end of the Tehuantepec railroad. CARGO HIET ItErXti FORMED Importers Take Sailors to load Abroad for Coast. Talk of general cargo being moved from Europe to the Pacific Coast in steam bottoms in preference to wind jammers has not deterred chartering ..f the latter, for yesterday Balfour. t!uthri- & Co. took the Krench bark lloche. a trader known here, to load at Newcastle-on-Tyne. A few days ago the French bark Ernest Legonve. also a well-known carrier on this Coast, was engaged to load (reneral cargo at Glasgow. in favor of steam tonnage, thougn freights are higher on them, importers point to the fact that insurance is lower and owners can estimate that in 90 days their freight money is in band.

Visit to Rose Festival as Equal to European Tour. CO-OPERATION IS ASKED Workers See Way to Bring Travelers to Portland by Offering; Best of Kntertalnment Contributors Are Enthusiastic. - "Why should American tourists, pleasure seekers and globetrotters spend 1500,000.000 a year in steamship and railroad fare and luxuries abroad when they can see greater scenic and other forms of attractions at home than they can in the old world?" This is the question that is being put to the business men, the property owners and members of the profes sions by the Royal Rosarians In their campaign to secure a $100,000 fund for the next Rose Festival, which will be held the week of June 9 to 14. Data has been -provided by the Rosarians to show that the average American has been in the habit of pouring his extra money into trips abroad and until the last year or- so no effort has been made by the rail roads or other agencies to try to di vert this enormous business from the time-honored paths across the seas. Every one of the generals and cap tains who are now out in the field hustling to secure subscriptions for the Rose Festival has been supplied with a detailed outline of the situa tion and has been advised by the finance commitee to impress upon the minds of the prospective contributors the urgent necessity of starting a "back Are," to convince the public that, with the proper co-operation and sup port, that much of the money that is now being poured into European cof fers can be held here at home and that the spenders will derive as much pleas ure and benefit. Purpose to Attract Americans. The purpose of the Rosarians is to show the American people that there Is no greater and more attractive event to be found anywhere than can be en Joyed right here in Portland during Rose Festival week. One business man who has never given a cent to the Rose Festival in the paBt and who conducts a modest little shop called at headquarters yesterday and notified the committee that he wanted to hand over $25 and be thought he would be able to induce friends of his to add another $50 to the fund. Under the official apportionment this man had been set down for a contribu tion of 810 and that was all that the committee expected. He not only handed over his $25 In cash, but said he was willing to put in two or three whole days to help the campaign along. "Don't bother about having your Rosarlan man come aroundi Just put me down for $100 and let it go at that. I gave $50 last year because I wanted to be a good citizen, and if It comes down to real grubbing, I'll get out and do what I can to help the campaign," That was the context of one of the many letters received at headquarters yesterday. "I know where I can get you at least $50 where you never got a cent before," telephonejllanother man who has been a consistent contributor. Employes May Contribute. "TVe have a pretty long list of em- j ployes in our shop and I know that a I majority of them will put in their lit BIBLICAL MOTION FILMS BEGIN AT HEILIG SUNDAY "From the Manger to the Cross," Reverent Picture life Story of Jesus of Nazareth to Be Holy Week Attraction Every Afternoon and Night. h-'-fc: M-,1 ,1 V '? 1,1 t lm- f SCENE FROM BIBLICAL MASTERPIECE, THOM THE MANGER TO I I THE CROSS."

The tremendous undertaking entered upon by the producers of this nlm, con taining about 80.000 photographs, has required eight months of artistic indus try, the employment of specialists in authoritative research, 40 actors, hun dreds of supernumeraries, droves of sheep and a caravan of camels a ka leidoscopic procession no effort nor tle "bit to- show they have the right loyal spirit," wrote another man who has always given liberally himself and who asked for more information about the plan for securing small subscrip tions of a dollar or two. "We like the spirit the people are showing toward the Rose Festival" said Chairman Hy Eilers last night. "If our cltisens would only realize the fact that the annual Rose Festival Is the most wonderful celebration of Its kind In. America, and would appreciate the fact that it is unsurpassed for Its amusement, entertainment and educa tional value and a bigger attraction for tourists than anything the whole Pa cific Coast has to offer, it would be a long step forward, but we Blmply have got to educate our business men, our heavy property owners and the thou sands of people engaged in the trades and professions, so that they will un derstand that what we are doing Is for the general good of everybody and for the glory and uplift of our Rose City." RAILROADS TO REDUCE RATES Fare of One - and One-Third for Ronnd Trip Is for Festival. Rates of one and one-third fare for the round trip from points in the Northwest to Portland will be made by all the railroads entering this city on acccount of the Rose Festival, June 9 to 14. This action was taken at the meeting of the North Pacifio Coast Passenger Association at Spokane on Tuesday. The sale dates for the Festival on the Southern Pacific and Oregon Elec trio between Eugene and points north will be every day from June 8 to 13, inclusive. On the O.-W. R. & N. main line and tbe North Bank west of The Dalles and Grand Dalles sales will be made on the same dates.

The furniture used in the various scenes was specially made to resemble. as far as possible, that used, at the start of the Christian era, while the apparel of the various actors was designed by and made under the direction of a tailor of Cairo, who is the greatest expert on ancient Eastern dress, and who went especially to Palestine to co-operate with the producers. FAVORABLE VERDICT OF JUDGE E. L. WALKER Prominent Texas Jurist Passes Favor ably on Tests of Plant Juice. The following statement is from Judge E. L. Walker, or 2115 Trinidad street, Dallas, Tex. Judge TValker has lived in Texas fifty-one years and was formerlv " County Judge at BrecKen- ridge. Stevens County. He has found Plant Juice to be all that is claimed for It, as his statement shows: "Nothing has ever sriven me such quick relief from rheumatism as plant Juice. I have long suffered from rheu matism In my back. The pain was al most constant and at times most se vere. One bottle of Plant Juice has re lieved me as nothing else ever has. I am Ftill taking it, and feel assured? that it will eventually cure me. I am glad to recommend this most excellent prep aration." People everywhere are being cured of rheumatism, just as Judge Walker was. It Is a most potent solvent of uric acid, - that poison which escapes from weak kidneys and causes rneu matism. All catarrhal conditions and ailments of the stomach, liver and kid neys are permanently relieved by the use of Plant Juice. It is a vegetable tonic made from the Juices of medicinal plants and herbs and will do you more g-ood than anything you have ever tried.
