HEAVY TOTAL FOR MARCH
Exports of Wheat in Excess of 1 ,
230,000 Bushels Three Times
Greater Than Last Year.
News of Waterfront.
The British ship Artcic Stream cleared
for Queenstown or Kalmouth yesterday
for orders with 9&I7 bushels of wheat
valued at JM.736. The Arctic Stream will
leave down this morning and will be ready
for sea tomorrow.
The departure of the Arctic Stream
brings the March exports up to 1.317, 60S
bushels of wheat. This is largely in ex
cess of the shipments for the correspond
ing month of last season. During that
time 5t,5S5 bushels were shipped. There
are four more working days In ti.is month
and possibly three more cargoes will
clear in that time. T'hile the exports
will fall a trille under those of the month
of February, they will be more than three
times as great as for March. 1907.
During March of last season, the flour
shipments amounted to 190,708 barrels,
while since the first of the month only
52.016 barrels have been cleared for for
eign ports. Lumber shipments were bet
ter last year than this, only one cargo,
that of the Tricolor, have been sent afloat
this month. Coastwise lumber has been
slow for several months and there Is little
prospect for an Increase of business.
SAX FRANCISCO MARINE NEWS
Activity Among Steam Schooners
Tied I p In Oakland Creek.
SAX FRANCISCO, March 26. Great ac
tivity was today noticeable among the
various steam schooners which have been
laid up In the Oakland Creek for the last
few weeks, pending the settlement of the
dispute between the owners and engi
neers. A large number of tugs were en
gaged in hauling the vessels off the sand
to get them ready for again going into

AGENTS ARE IX SESSION
Slejinisliip Representatives Discuss
Change in Freight Rates.
Steamship agents of the Pacific Coast
tip In session to day at Seattle for the
purpose of determining future policy in
rerard to freight rates to the Orient.
The meeting Is a special one and the re
sult of the deliberations will mean much
to the shipping from North Pacific Coast
ports to the Orient. J. Walter Ransom,
of the Portland Asiatic Steamship
t'ompany, Is In attendance from Port
land. Foreign steamships and tramps have
been making great inroads into the reg
ular business of the established com
panies. Rates were cut and large quan
tities of regular business was diverted
to outside vessels. The recent ruling of
tli Interstate Commerce Commission will
have some weight In the matter, as the
sieamers flying the American flag and on
rating out of San Francisco will be able
to meet any cut at any time. Vessels
Failing foreign colors are not affected
by the rulings of the Commission.

ASTORIA TO ENTER FLOAT
CITY ADOPTS DESIGN" FOR FES
TIVAL PARADE.
Chamber of Commerce 'Jjets $600
Contract and Will Also Send Vi
king Ship to Portland.
Work will be begun immediately on the
gorgeous illuminated float which Astoria
will enter in the Rose Festival competi
tive parade, to which all cities in the
Northwest are eligible to try for the $500
cash prize.
The promotion committee of the Astoria
Chamber of Commerce, consisting of C.
W. Lamar, C. W. Barr and B. U. Ward,
has forwarded . the contract, which
calls for the expenditure of $600 by As
toria and about iQ0 more by theFestival
management in illumination,- properly ca
parisoned horses, with attendants and
outriders, and other paraphernalia which
the Festival will furnish with all floats
entered by Oregon cities.
The Astoria Chamber of Commerce con
sidered several artistic design, but left
the final decision to the special commit
tee. It was voted to use me accepted
float design on Astoria's publicity ex
ploitation literature, to embody it in the
advertising matter that will be used here
during festival week. The Chamber of
Commerce has also decided to use the
float as one of the picturesque features
of the annual regatta, next September,
the designs considered being of a char
acter that would readily lend themselves
to the regatta idea.
The outside cities that enter floats will
have the honor of being represented in
the most spectacular parade of the week,
the pageant of Tuesday night being des
ignated as "The Spirit of the oolden
West," which will mark the historic steps
in the progress of the Northwest- from
the time of the Lewis and Clark expe
dition, early in the 19th century.
As exemplifying the spirit of enthus
iasm with which Astoria has taken hold
of the festival idea. Captain Speler,
chairman of the water carnival commit
tee, has practically been assured that
the "City by the Sea" will send the fa
mous Viking ship to Portland for that
brilliant feature of the. week's jubi
lee. The Viking ship was especially
constructed to serve as the royal barge
for Queen Harriet of last year's
regatta, and if possible, the same aggre
gation of stalwart "vikings" who sat at
its oar-banks on the day the Queen was
welcomed, will be secured for the Port
land celebration.
MANY TOURISTS IN SOUTH
Conditions Improving In California.
Says Louis J. Wilde. ,
Louis J. "Wilde, former president of
the German-American Bank, returned
to Portland Wednesday, after a month
spent in Southern California. That
business is steadily improving In the
South was the statement of Mr. Wilde
and he says the movement of tourists
is now on In full swing:. Trains are
crowded, he says, and Portland will get
Its full share, for a large number of
tourists are coming around this way.
"Forty thousand tourists are booked
In Southern California," said Mr.
Wilde. "Rooms and houses at San
Diego are at a premium and visitors
are having difficulty in finding quar
ters. Hotels are full throughout
Southern California. At Coronado
guests are sleeping on cots in the
dining-room. Southern California had
almost despaired of the usual tourist
crop until a few weeks ago. when bad
snowstorms throughout the East sent
people West. Of course the tourists
are not spending as much money as
they usually do, but the travel is
heavy. -
"San Diego, one of the few cities that
did not resort to clearing-house cer
tificates during the panic, is growing
steadily. The banks there are doing
well. One, in which I am Interested,
has gained 10 per cent in the volume
of its business since the last call of
the Controller of the Currency.
"Los Angeles Is holding its own and
the business men there feel better.
While I was there, a S550.000 real es
tate transaction was made. Trains to
Portland from California are crowded
and the bulk of the Eastern tourist
business will come around this way
for the return trip East."
STORY HAS NO FOUNDATION
Sinclair Packing; Company Will "ot
Build Plant Here.
That the announcement that the erec
tion of a packing plant at Portland is
contemplated by the Sinclair Packing
Company, made by an evening paper, is
utterly without foundation, is the state
ment of the Sinclair people themselves.
They say they have no thought of build
ing a packing-house here, and there is
not even the remotest possibility that
they will put such an establishment at
Portland.
"The statement is the most utter non
sense," declared R. W. Blackwood, man
ager at Portland for the Sinclair Pack
ing Company. "I cannot say who started
the wild rumor, but whoever it was had
but little regard for the truth. You may
deny It in the most positive terms, for
I know there is not the slightest founda
tion for the story.

BRIDGE-PROJECT
T GO OVER
Now Too Late to Secure Vote
on Proposed Bond Issue :
at June Election.
CITY ATTORNEY'S OPINION
Kavanaugh Tells of Course to Be
Pursued to Obtain Authority
for Building Xew Struc
ture at Madison Street.
Proceedings to replace the Madison
street bridge will not be starred in
time to secure the required vote on the
bonds at the June election, but the
whole matter will go over for submis
sion Jater, probably at a special elec
tion. According to the opinion of City
Attorney Kavanaugh, the petitions for
the bonds would have to be presented
to the City Council by April 1. 1908,
which does not leave sufficient time to
prepare and circulate them. Action
has been delayed by the Kast Side
clubs in the hope that the Supreme
Court would advance the case involv
ing the validity of the bonds voted at
the last June election, but so far this
has not been done, and it has finally
been decided . to let the Question gro
over. ,
It has been found that the provisions
of the charter are conflicting and will
have to be amended in some particulars.
The- following is the full text of the
opinion of City Attorney Kavanaugh.
submitted to the United East Bide Clubs
on request of W, L. Boise, which sets
out the stuatlon clearly:
Opinion of City Attorney.
The location of the present bridge has
been fixed, and its construction authorized
by legislative enactment, and the replacing
of th same by a new structure in th
same location will not cause an additional
obstruction to navigation. It would appear,
therefore. tha.t there is ho necessity of se
curing authority from th state or the
Port of Portland for the construction of
the brlAj?. It would be well to submit the
plan and specifications to the Secretary of
War and the Chief of Engineers of the
United States for their approval before the
bridge Is constructed. Concerning the course
to be pursued to obtain authority for the
construction of this bridge I would suggest
the following:
. First An amendment to section 118 of
the charter, authorising the construction-of
this bridge, and following the general plan
adapted at the last election, except that the
question be submitted by initiative petition
and also by resolution of the Council to
avoid the effect of a possible adverse de
cision in the case of McKenna .versus Port
land. Second An amendment to the public
utility provisions of tbe charter submitted
In the same way. which would enable the
Council, or other municipal body, when
necessary for public safety, to proceed at
once to replace an existing bridge in the
City of Portland by constructing a new
bridge on the same site, and to Incur a
bonded Indebtedness for the payment of. the
same. Such an amendment should be made
to section 7 of the charter, and be so word
ed that It would not be affected by other
provisions of the charter Umittns; the in
debtedness or providing for tbe Issuance of
bonds, etc.
Third By proceeding under the utllty
provisions of the charter as they now stand.
Of these different, methods, the second
one would appear to be the most expe
ditious. The proceedings under the public
utility provisions of the charter- are ex
ceedingly cumbersome, and would require a
two-thirds vote of the electors to Incur the
bonded indebtedness required to construct
the bridge.
Submit by Initiative Petition.
As to the manner of submission to the
people in order to avoid all questions, it
should undoubtedly be submitted upon the
initiative petition ,and it migrht be well to
supplement this with submission by tbe
Council also In pursuance of the petition.
To submit the matter before the next
regular city election, it would be necessary,
in order to remove all doubt as to the
validity of the procedure, to amend what is
called the McNary ordinance so that, such
measures could be submitted at the- special
elections as well as regular city election,
and the method of submission under the
McNary ordinance should be made to con
form with the valid provisions of the act of
the Legislature of 1907 providing for the
manner of exercising the initiative and ref
erendum powers reserved to municipalities.
If the McNary ordinance is thus amended
and the initiative petitions and the manner
of submission are made to conform to both
the ordinance and the act of the Legislature
above mentioned It might be possible to
submit this matter to the people at th
next general election In June; but in order
to remove all doubt it will be necessary that
this submission shall take place more than
60 days prior to June 1. 1108. the date of
such election, aa this Is the time fixed by
the act of the Legislature.
It will therefore be necessary to have the
petitions prepared and the matter submitted
by April 1. 1108, if it is to be submitted at
the next coming county election.
Changes From Present Structure. 1
It is proposed that the new Madison
bridge should be erected practically on
Its present location, although there are
some who would like to see it landed on
Jefferson street on the West Side. The
general opinion is that it should be fully
tSO feet wide and higher than the present
structure by several feet, some suggest
ing that it should be 20 feet higher and
that the landings should be extended on
both sides. The draw will, no doubt, be
placed further out into the stream.
A movement has been started to advo
cate the use of the lift draw Instead of
the present swinging draw, and it is
urged that such lift draw would remove
all possible obstruction to navigation, as
there would be no draw pier. Engineer
Sands, who prepared preliminary plans
for the Albina high bridge, declared that
he favored that style of draw over the
swinging draw and says he has superin
tended construction of bridges with such
lift draws. A prominent machinist of
Portland advocates the lift draw. He will
while on his trip will make a thorough
leave for the East In a week or so and
investigation of the lift draws.

STUDENTS CLEAR UP DEBT
Pacific University Affairs Strike
Clear Balance on Ledger.
PACIFIC UNIVERSITY. Forest Grove,
Or., March 26. (Special.) Students and
faculty have liberally given of their
means to clear student organization of
debts incurred through intercollegiate de
bates and other student activities. The
student committee that waited on the
members of the faculty for financial aid
received most .beral contributions. The
students have made up the remaining defi
cit and the school year will end with a
clean page.
The student body, besides disposing of
the debt, made some important changes
in the constitution. Heretofore the mem
bers of the debating team and the inter
collegiate orator received the official em
blem, the gold "P" for representing the
school ln these college activities.
Today the student body constitution was
amended so as to give the editor of the
College paper, the Weekly Index, the
official gold emblem, to be designated
as the Journalist "P."
The ground for granting this mark of
honor is the literary work done in a rep
resentative capacity of tbe college pa
per. This .publication is the official or
gan of the student body and represents
them in every line of student enterprise
and college activity. Before a person
is .entitled to wear the Journalist "P,"
he or she must have served one year as
associate editor and one year as editor-in-chief
of the official college publication.
The athletic committee granted to the
winners of first place on the track and
football teams the large crimson emblem
in recognition of tneir services in ath
letic feats.
