ISSUE TO COME- UP TODAY Big Demonstration Before Council la Scheduled to Induce Repeal of Present Ordinance, Which Majority Opposes. Cnless something: unforeseen happens. Jitneys will be a thing of the past in Portland one v.-eek from today. There is only one way they can remain in operation, and that is to agree to ac cept a franchise which will make them give service beyond the present close in districts and under conditions of regulation as to service, comparable with the regulations imposed on street cars. Under the direction of the Central Labor Council, with which the Jitney Drivers' Union Is affiliated, a big- jitney demonstration will be staged at this morning's meeting- of the City Coun cil in an effort to get the Council to repeal an ordinance passed July 19 making it necessary for the jitneys to have a franchise by November 15. Re peal of this ordinance will be demanded by the jitney people. Majority AEalsit Repeal. To repeal the ordinance before No vember 15 will require unanimous vote of the City Council, and it is certain that some of the Council members will not vote for it. Mayor Albee and Com missioners Baker and Dieck have all publicly expressed themselves as op posed to the Jitney operating unless it does so under restrictions and regula tions similar to those imposed on the streetcars under Its franchises. This situation means, therefore, that the ordinance will not be repealed by November 15, and if the jitneys con tinue to operate after that it will merely be because the police do not enforce the law. The burden of obtaining a franchise has been imposed by the Council on the Jitneys. The only franchise applica tion made by the Jitneys so far has been a proposal which would give the Jitney Drivers' Union a monopoly on the jitney business and would allow the union jitneys to run as they please. The Council has refused to grant this franchise. At the request of the Coun cil Commissioner Dieck has negotiated with the Jitney Drivers'. Union and put up iu it me Duraen or framing and ac cepting- a reasonable franchise. All that has been done along this line has ueen me framing of a list of routes. These are beine- rnnRtiiprcH K.. -u neys, but undoubtedly will not be ac cepted. Franchise la Daly's Idea. Commissioner Daly got the jitneys into their present hole by putting through the ordinance requiring the franchise. He put it through because, he said, it was impossible to regulate the Jitneys in any other way. When the Council got to talking franchise they came face to face with the ques tion of a square deal for the streetcar company. The question of Imposing strict regulation of many kinds on the streetcars under its franchise and let ting the jitneys have the 'same privi lege without these restrictions, bobbed up as manifestly unfair. The Council chamber will be packed by the jitney drivers and labor union officials and followers this morning for the purpose of making a strong demon stration in behalf of the jitneys. It is expected the plea will be in vain. A call for this morning's demonstra tion was made in the Labor Press a few days ago. The appeal for "all hands to turn out" Is based in this official publication of the Central Labor Council on the ground that the Port land Railway. Light & Power Company is "unfair" and that the Jitney Drivers Union is a loyal member of .the Central Labor Council. luuuu fumm ui liihilu HA1X IIAISES LEVEL OF RIVER IX LOWER CHA3IBEH. Ninety Per Cent of Navigation la P.arred by Rock and Lovr 'Water for 42 Days. OREGON CITT. Or., Nov. 7. (Spe cial.) After being- closed to 80 per cent of the Willamette River boats for 42 days because of the shallowness nf t, lower lock chamber, the Oregon City canal and locks are again in service. A week of rain has raised the river to such a height that a ledge of rock in the lower chamber, the bar to naviga tion, is under several feet of water. At one time during the rainless period there was onlv littlo, mnr. u a 'ot of water in the lower chamber, and a child could almost wade across. Only the smallest river craft, when un loaded Or liS-htlv InaHoH , . i .i through the locks. One or two boats( vci, uSaUy damaged in trying to eo through. Although the Government has dredged a six-foot channel from Port land to a point 20 miles above here and a large sum of money has been ap propriated by Congress to improve the locks and considerable work has been done, no effort has been made to deepen this lower chamber, which annually stops practically all traffic on the river between Portland and up-v-alley towns.

EMBARGaiS TIGHTER Shipping of Commodities From Interior May Suffer. PACT IS BY BOAT AND RAIL Measure Affecting Perishable Goods at rirst Is Extended and Car Shortage Is Kignring In the Fresent Freight Crisis. Notification given steamboat oper ators and railroad lines that the em bargo on shipments to California has been tightened is expected to shut out huge quantities of commodities that would move from the interior. While at first the embargo had to do largely with perishables, steamboatmen say it has now been extended to many other snipments. In addition it is said the car short age i3 figuring In the situation to some extent, for when there Is opportunity to give space to certain important con signments, it is impossible to obtain cars with which to move them from the country and also to shift them from Portland to FlaveL Captain A. W. Graham, of the Yellow Stack line, which is operating the steamer Grahamona to Corvallis, the steamer Pomona to Salem and the steamer Oregona to Dayton, said yes terday that farmers in the Valley ad jacent to the river could not move potatoes for the California market owing to the congestion, onions and otner vegetables being restricted well, so that would curtail the move ment to a degree, yet there was an opening for the movement of flour. hops and such products to the East, the flour being drawn from the Valley and being shipped as far as Nashville and Memphis. Much the same oonditlon exists in the Middle and Upper Columbia dis tricts, steamboatmen reporting that in spite of the freight moving rnuch more would be available if the water outlet to California were not limited through tne supply of tonnage. Cereals, paper and canned iroods have figured principally in the California movement and while some of the goods might be able to stand the railroad tariff, the lack of cars is Just as de termined in that connection as the limited steamer space. cowlitz ruvrcii opex agaix Steamer Chester to Operate rollow lng Iiong Period of Idleness. For the first time since July 29. when the extreme low water season was experienced, the little steamer Chester, of the Kellogg Transportation Company's line, will make a trip from Kelso to Toledo today. The Cowlitz River remained at such a stage during the season that the Chester, which is among the EmalHfit stern-wheelers on the globe, has been unable to operate. During the worst of the period the steamer Joseph Kellogg, from Portland, was prevented from reaching Kelso with a large load of freight and the Chester was in service as a transfer steamer between Kelso and the mouth of the river. . The steamer Harvest Queen was pressed into service again last night on the Portland-Astoria route to handle freight that has accumulated and the steamer Lurline is plying between Port land and Camas, while the Jessie Har- kins Is being overhauled. -With the Upper Willamette River service re stored as far as Corvallls, the present head of navigation, the river fleet is about normal as to numbers. LOIBER BARGES AKE MOVING Willametto and Tow in Southern Vaters After Being In Blow. On her way direct for San Diego with barge No. 41 in tow, the McCor mick steamer Willamette was reported passing Point Lobos yesterday. Both vessels are laden heavily, and left St. Helens a week ago today. The recent blow held theni back. The tug Henry J. Biddle, towing barge 39, the lat ter being laden with coal from Boat Harbor, reached the Columbia yester day. The vessels were anchored in Neah Bay for a short time on the way to avoid the southerly blow on a few days ago. The barge discharges at Astoria. The -tug Tatoosh. of tho Puget Sound Tugboat Company's line, which sought shelter in the river when on the way from Point Ludlow for San Francisco with a barge of lumber on her hawser, sailed at 11:10 o'clock yesterday morning. One more lumber carrier to get away was the schooner Melrose, bound for Kahulul, which was loaded at Westport. SCHOOYER TO DIP THURSDAY Daughter of Astoria Councilman to Christen First Vessel. ASTORIA Or., Xov. 7. (Special.) The first of the steam schooners built at the Wilson Bros." yards in this city for the McCormick Company will be launcld shortly before noon on next Thursday.

The launching will be attended by a delegation of business men representing the Chamber of Commerce. At night there will be a. complimentary dinner in Honor or trie builders. Harbor Police Build Tender. In these days of economic adminis tration of the harbor patrol service membership is resorting to home man ufacture principles and the latest to be turned out is a skiff for the use of the officers. It is Impossible to use the launch for inspection beneath docks and often it is found best to seek certain information or watch suspects from a skiff rather than a powerboat because of the noise of the engine, so Patrolman Hansen and En gineer Prehn put in their spars time on a skiff that is a credit to the boat builder's art. As the harbor force looks after all painting on the station and launch, also repairs, they have managed to get along on limited ap propriations. Uner Gets Election News at Sea. Passengers sailing on the steamship Xorthern Pacific fQr San Francisco yesterday afternoon numbered 220. Xews of the election was received aboard the tarhiner at sea during the evening dansant and the festivities in the grillroom. making the scenes aboard ship unusually exciting. The liner carried a capacity cargo, having 1804 tons stowed by the time the lines were cast off. Canned salmon, hops, canned milk, paper, hides, potatoes, shooks, apples and grain made up the principal items of the shipments. The freight embargo has been partly raised, but still applies against certain south bound commodities. Brother Dies Leading Men. Details of the death, of his brother, Douglas Reynolds, September 26. who was killed during an advance of the British troops, have reached James Gillison. of Balfour, Guthrie & Co., in a letter from G. H. Reynolds, & pri wate in the same command. Private Reynolds was wounded in the foot in the same action and is confined in the Italian hospital, London. He narrates that death was instantaneous, Mr. Gil lison being shot about half an hour after the action begun. He was sec tion commander of 10 men detailed to attack part of a trench.

HIGHEST PRICES ON RECORD Eastern Mills Are Largest Bayers. Block or Million, Pounds Trans ferred Strong Demand for the Kemainlng Supply. Several big wool deals, involving about 1.500,000 pounds of ths Oregon clip of this year, have bsea closed la this city la the past few days. One of ths transfers was a block of 1.0O0.OOO pounds. The wools sold. have been beld here sines early Summer by ths Columbia Basla Wool Warehouse Com pany and the Portland Wool Warehouse Company. The prices realized were not mads public, but It is known they were ths highest prices ever paid for wool in this state. The bulk of the -wool sold went to Eastern woolen mills, cut Boston dealers also se cured several Urge lota Three- or four mil lion pounds remain unsold In ths local w are houses. Stocks of -wool n Portland have been larger than anywhere else In the West, ex cept Chicago, and this fact has turned ths attention of buyers to this city. This Is what ths wool men and warehouse men of "jregon have been striving for, the making of Portland a wool center where stocks could bs accumulated, and sold direct to the consuming trade. As the holders of the wools Just sold have realized a good advanoa over the prices prevailing during ths early part of ths season they have demonstrated their wisaom Uils time at least-ln not taking first offers, but In holding for the late market. In the opinion of wool men here, the strong demand that has lately Influenced me American markets has been due nrin cipally to ths belief that Hnghes would be elected .and ths Underwood tariff repealed Spoouiators. as well ss mill men In ths East, operating on this belllef, have bought up wool wherever It was to be had. The available supply of wool In the United States la being fapldly reduced, and there is uut little hope that Australian wool can come. A Portland wool man, who has just returned from Boston, says the lofts of that city have the same appearance that they usually do in March. On the subject of the embargo, a Boston authority writes: "Any attempt to predict the future mar ket is complicated by the embargo uncer tainties. It Is pretty well understood that cngiana is determined to keep a doss watch on the wool from her own colonies to the end that her own needs may be lu.ly protected, but Australasia Is get ting rather restive and eager for American competition. In addition to the petition re cently mads by the Australian growers that American buyers be allowed to operate In the colonial markets, there have been for warded through Sir Richard Crawford, the British trade expert attached to the British Embassy in . Washington, ths petitions of the manufacturers and wool merchants ot this country, although the benefit of such a petition is of doubtful quality, at least la so far as Great Britain's action seems likely to be affected. The majority opinion, more over. Is that little or no wool will be al lowed to be exported hither from Auxtral- vsia before the first of next year, and no large Quantity even then. The reoent heavy buying of the most astute mill men Is such ss to Indicate their belief in tbs foregoing proposition." GKAOI TRADE IS AT 6T.WDSTTJU. Local and Eastern Exchangee Are Closed for Day. With the local and Eastern grain ex changes closed yesterday on account of ths election, no effort was made to rarry on business In the wheat market. The crop Is so closely sold up that dealers do not look for any extended period of activity during the remainder of the season. Commenting on the general situation, an Eastern broker WTltes: "After a healthy reaction of 8c to 10c, prices have developed renewed strength. Tho commercial situation Is stronger than it has ever been, and barring some unex pected feature outslds of ths pnrely cora meiciel. such ss submarine activity, we can see nothing to Interfere with further gains in values. The demand for wheat Is insatia ble, while the supply Is being further en dangered by the latest advices from Ar gentina and Australia. 60 acute has the world situation become that embargoes are being agitated in Argentina as well as our own country.'"
