9 HAWAII READY TO TRADE HERE W. A. Mears Returns From Islands With Advice for Portland Jobbers. OUTLOOK IS PROMISING Dealers There Must Be Kept Advised Concerning Prices, Sailing Dates . . and Other Details Good So licitors Will Be Needed. .V. A. Mears reached Portland yes terday from Honolulu, -where he has spent-several weeks looking Into the trade conditions there with a view to Inducing- the Hawaiian merchants to do a large part of their buying in Port land. He found the outlook promising and is optimistic concerning the pros pects for future trade of Portland Job bers with Hawaii. In order to get the business, Mr. Mears says, the merchants of the' city will have to go after it by keeping the Hawaiian dealers advised of prices, sailing dates and other details and It will be necessary to send traveling meu .over there, to show the business men of the Islands that Portland is In earnest. Now that the trade of the Ha waiian group, which formerly went al most wholly to San Francisco, is likely to be divided because of the disaster to the Bay City and the consequent read justment of business, Portland stands an excellent chance to secure a share of the Jobbing trade. Mr. Mears wlH be ready to answer questions and advance suggestions in regard to the Hawaiian situation at a meeting to be held under the auspices of the Chamber of Commerce some time this week. All Interested in furthering Portland's trade relations with Hawaii are asked to attend. The time of the meeting will be announced later. "I am not afraid to predict that Portland will get her share of thft Im porting and exporting trade of Ha waii." said Mr. Mears. "There Is plenty of trade there and a new competitive market Is desired. The requisite is that Portland go after the trade and keep eteadliy after It, post the merchants in the Islands as to the condition of the markets, times of steamer sailings, and follow up the efforts that nave been made by shippers representing the different-lines of business. Must Make Good Prices. "The Jobbers must be careful of the grades of goods shipped and should give close prices. They must foster the trade carefully for a time, as Innova tions are disquieting In business as In everything else and until Jobbing rela tions are fully established, there Is liable to be more or less uneasiness. "I received a great deal of encour agement while -In Hawaii from many sources. Portland has hlthertb not been considered as a market, simply because she has never let herself be known in Honolulu as a market. In telling of Portland's ability to handle her due share of the trade of the Islands, I have acquainted the merchants there of her advantages. They are advised of the capabilities of the city in affording them a desirable place to buy. "There are two distinct classes of trade In Hawaii, the great Jobbing bouses which control plantation sup plies and the smaller retailers and Job bers which supply the other consumers. The first step in approaching foreign trade Is, of course, transportation fa cilities. Without a direct' steamship line from Portland, what little trade that is obtained must be handled, as it has always heretofore been handled, at second hand, via San Francisco. Praises Chamber of Commerce. "But with the placing in commission of the Matson line of steamers, which was accomplished through the efforts of the Chamber of Commerce, this first requisite was accomplished. The secund step was to have the great Jobbing-houses In Hawaii place purchas ing and selling agents in the North west. One of these firms has seen the need of thts and a purchasing office has been established in Seattle. Seattle was chosen for the reason that the firm Is the agent in Honolulu for the American-Hawaiian Steamship Com pany, which at that time did not send its shlDs to Portland. "As Portland is a primary market for many more articles than the Sound and as the steamers have since been calling here, while the purchasing- agent Is himself a former resident of Portland, I do not fear that Seattle or Tacoma will bo unjustly favored. "There is no doubt at all that the othe"r classes of trade are anxious to open.up new buying and selling mar kets, i found evidences" of "this in the many Inquiries I received while in Honolulu. Portland can get-a slice of the Hawaiian business if she wants it nd makes the necessary effort." AT THE THEATERS What the Frees Agents Bay. At the Baker Tonight.

Pertinent Queries as to Responsibil ity for Wrong-Doing. PORTLAND, Or., Sept. IB. (To the Editor.) Will you kindly permit the un dersigned, who is rated in law with Idiots, Insane persons and criminals, to pursue to Its logical sequence, a query which, under the caption of "Fixing the Blame," appeared In The Oregonian of September 14 over the anonymous signature of "Justice." The writer, who Is self-evl-dently a Prohibitionist, says: "Isn't It a fact that the saloon man (In St. Paul) furnished two of the elements to the crime (of murder) and if so, why should he not be held as an accessory?" I shall not attempt to refute his logic. But he doesn't, carry It far enough. Why not go to the roots of all evil and pro hibit them all? Why not prohibit the pro duction and sale of everything from which intoxicating liquors can be made. Including corn, wheat, rye, barley, grapes, apples, pears, peaches and even potatoes? Wh not prohibit hop raising? Why not prohibit hop picking? Why not prohibit hop selling? And last, but by no means least, why not prohibit the existence of women? Is It not an established fact that when the Whites, Thaws, Velguths and their ilk get caught in the meshes of the law, their precious lives might have been spared to society If 'there hadn't been any women In the world to lead them astray? By all means give us prohibition straight. ABIGAIL SCOir DUNIWAT. Big Yield of Grain. From a 40-acre farm In the Sprlngwater country, R. A. Wilcox threshed 1972 bush els of grain this season. Also R.

MANY FILLS MADE Bringing Low Districts of East Side Up to Grade. MUCH MATERIAL IS MOVED Good Work Now in Progress Means the Passing of Elevated Road ways and General Use of Solid Embankments. It is estimated that over 1,000,000 cubiu yards of dirt have been used for fills on the East Side' so far this year, and use of much more is in prospect. The most extensive fill is being made by the O. W. P. for Inman-Poulsen & Co., where four or five blocks have already been filled up, covering the deposit of sawdust. Material is brought in from the bluff , ! south of the sawmill on short hauls and dumped on the sawdust. More than 100,000 cubic yards of dirt have been filled In here, and the work is still going forward. It Is announced that the whole of the Stephens Slough will be filled, which will take over 1,000, 000 cubic yards of material alone. At present sawdust and slabwood are being thrown Into this slough at the rate of hundreds of wagon loads daily. As soon as work starts on the tunnel for the Brooklyn sewer between East Eleventh street and the Willamette River the dirt will be deposited in this ravine. It is calculated to take care of the water flow ing through the Stephens ravine by di verting it through the sewer. The tunnel will be over 1000 feet? long, and a vast amount of dirt will come out of it. The O. W. P. Is also filling up with a solid embankment its trestle toward The Oaks. This work is nearlng completion. Should the company finally decide to lo cate its shops on the Martin flats on either side of this long embankment, op posite the Portland Crematorium, it would mean that over 1.000,000 cubic yards of dirt would be required to fill up the ground to the required level for the shops. It Is believed that these low lands are certain to be filled up above high-water mark whether they are selected as a site for the shops for the combined street railway system of Portland or not: There are over 100 acres of land altogether here that would be available. The company is steadily cutting away at the high bluff opposite Ross Island until there is al ready a space "more than 60 feet wide. In East Portland the next Important fill Is on Hawthorne avenue between East First and Second streets. The surface of the elevated roadway has been' taken -up preparatory to starting operations. About Hasty Nervous Chewing of Food the Cause of Dyspepsia Grape 75,000 cubic yards of dirt will be required for this fill. The O. W. P. will supply the material. Lower Alblna Montgomery Slough bridge wlU be supplanted with an em bankment of 75,000 cubic yards. Prepara tions are nearly completed for starting on this work. On Belmont street two fills are being made. The bridge at East Main street across Hawthorne Creek is being filled up with dirt hauled by wagons. Also between Union avenue and East Water street the same kind of work is being done. Probably 80,000 cublo yards all told will complete these two fills. On East Oak, If the proposed Improve ment is made, two fills will be made, aggregating over 100.000 cubic yards of material. The improvement contemplat ed Is between East Water and East Sixth streets. For the fills on Union avenue now under way, over 90,000 cubic yards of dirt all told will be used before the improvement Is completed between East Oak and Belmont streets. Just as soon as the property owners In the warehouse district south of East Morrison street can get the Port of Portland dredge back they . say that they will resume work there, and keep it In operation for the next year until the whole district is filled to the basement level, which will require more than 600,000 cubic yards of dirt. Material for these big fills has - come mainly from North Mount Tabor, where more than 10 acres 60 feet deep have been hauled away from the O. W. P. ground south of Inman, Poulsen & Co's. sawmill, and not the least from the many basements of buildings under construc tion in Portland. The day of wooden roadways has passed In Portland and in place has come to stay the solid em bankment, steel bridges and reinforced concrete structures. HATCHERY ON THE M'KENZIE STATE FISH WARDEN WILL AD VISE ESTABLISHMENT. More Than 4,000,000 Salmon Eggs Secured by Experiment Station There This Year. State Tish Warden Van Dusen was In Portland yesterday on his way home to Astoria after having visited the station on the McKenrle River. About 4,000,000 egg's have been secured at the station this year and Mr. Van Dusen is the authority for the statement that . a fish hatchery will be established there. The station was located as an experiment and the results have been so encouraging that It is believed . that conditions . will war rant a hatchery. Last year but 2,000,000 eggs were obtained and the scarcity of salmon was attributed to the lack of a suitable fish way at Oregon City. Mr. Van Dusen had the way improved so' that the incline would not be so steep. He now believes that the fish can get over the falls with out difficulty and for this reason has decided to establish a hatchery on the McKenzle River. "There can be no doubt but what the falls at Oregon City . have affected the salmon supply," declared Mr. Van Dusen. "The salmon would follow up the Willa mette River until they came to the falls and until the recent Improvement of the fish way but comparatively few of them ever entered the deep water above. "Finding a barrier they would turn back and spawn along the sand bars. As sand bars are not the-natural spawning grounds for this king of fish millions of eggs were lost," MAYOR OF ST. JOHNS INVENTS NEW BED Works Out Contrivance That Disap pears Into the Wall When Not in Use. TT "DISAPPEARING BED," invented by I Mayor Hinman, of St Johns, newly elected, may make him more famous than his new Job. -At his -lodging-house may be seen this invention that has attracted the attention of many residents of St. Johns. It Is somewhat like the regulation folding bed. It simply disappears against the wall of the room and leaves the whole space of the room for the occu pant. The bed, when in use,, stands on the floor; but when made up and not in use, It Is neatly folded solidly against the wall until night, when It Is taken down. Mayor Hinman has no patent on hla In vention and all are welcome to copy. Wanting something of the sort, ho worked it out.
