IS N' an "If the Hamburg-American will agree not to touch at Puget Sound I will promise enough cargo to run them full for 12 months a year," announced Theo. dore B. Wilcox at a luncheon given at the Commercial Club yesterday to B. Kotxte, captain of the Blthonia, the first of the Hamburg-American liners to enter Portland on the new Oriental service recently established. - "Til see you privately about that," quickly retorted Frits Klrchhon. local manager for the Hamburg-American, and It is probable that this offer of Mr. Wilcox, who Is head of the Portland Flouring Mills, will lead to an ar rangement that will provide direct service between Portland and the Orient. While Mr. Wilcox, who was the prin cipal speaker, was extremely cordial in his welcome to Captain Kotzte and the institution that he represents, he was unmistakably plain and direct In expressing his belief that the Ham burg-American not only will be of greater service to Portland If It ex eludes Puget Sound from Its ports of rail, but that It will add substantial ly to the success of its venture. Direct Orieatal Service Aim. "I want to Join most heartily with Tne other business men of Portland in . extending a worthy greeting to the cap. tain and to the line that he serves, said Mr. Wilcox, "but my voice would be beard longer and my sound would be louder If this were the only port on this coast at which his vesel stopped. "For 25 years I have been doing an Oriental business and I hope yet to remonstrate that Portland is capable of supporting a direct service to the Orient. "One matter that has stood In the way all these years has been the Co lumbia River bar. For a long time I was alone In my efforts to spend on the lower river some of the money that we have squandered on the upper river. I belong to a long-lived family and I hope that before I am in business 25 years more I'll see this barrier re moved. I'll stay In business 40 years more to accomplish it if necessary Mr. Wilcox seemed deadly in earnest in his hope to establish the supremacy of Portland as a shipping center and was unsparing In his denunciation of the Union Pacific railroad for what he termed an abandonment of this port In favor of San Francisco.
