Realising that Portland la the natural center for all railroad construction work In the Northwest. Joseph Thayer Gtlman. second vice-president of the Goodwin Csr Company, builders of a new type of con struction cars, is considering the advisa bility of making thla city the distributing point for sveral trains of rolling vtoax and the site for large shops and yards, meaning an expenditure of JluX. Mr. Uilman has been In the city the yast few days and has made a thorough study or the sitoatlon. He believes that If the company Is to start business in the Northwest. Portland Is to be the baala of operations and that the territory must be covered from thla city. The Goodwin Car Company Is a Chi cago concern that builds snd leases a pattern of side-dump cars which it asserts are superior to those now generally in use. Its idea la to establish distributing points for its stock In various parts of the country and supply the cars to the railroad contractors on short or 'long period contracts. While some of the larger contrsctors have their own con struction trains, there are a sufficient number of small concerns who would depend upon a general supply Arm. The fact that Twohy Bros., one of the largest railroad contracting firms in the Northwest, recently chose Portland as the distributing point for their work, has en couraged the Chicago man In his ambi tion to make this city the supply depot for his firm's business as well. If the Goodwin people decide to locate In Portland they will have to build a re pair shop and acquire yards upon which the stock can be stored. This will neces sitate the purchase of a tract of land, for which negotiations will be oper'd In a short time. WHEAT EXPORTS RECORD PORTLAND'S FIGCRKS FOR 190 IMGGEST IX WORLD.

JAP CONSUL PROTESTS ANTI-ALIEN BILLS IX CALIFOR NIA HELD UNFRIENDLY. Unnecessary, Also, for Jap Popula tion of Coast Diminishes New Treaty May Be Blocked. SACRAMENTO. Cal,' Jan. 12. Japan's first official protest against proposed anti-Japanese legislation In this state came In the form of a letter from Con-sul-General Matsuzo Nagal, at San Francisco, to Senator Leroy Wright, chairman of the Senate committee on Federal relations. "1 think the people of this state hard ly realize the deep concern felt in Japan on thia subject." says the Consul-General. "Discrimination at thla time would be particularly surprising to the Japanese people In view of the efforts which have been made during the past two years to cultivate the good will of the American people and to prove to them the sincerity of Japanese good will." The letter contains figures supporting the Consul's contention that the Jap anese population on the Pacific Coast is steadily decreasing. According to these statistics, the number leaving Japan for America has diminished each year and the number arriving in Japan from America has increased each year since 1908. "I feel constrained." says the Consul, "to express the fear that pending negotia tions with the United Statea Government may be unfavorably affected by the passage of measures by the Califor nia Legislature which are of a dis criminating character." Among the anti-Japanese bills al ready in the Legislature is ono provid ing against the holding of land In Cali fornia "by aliens not eligible to be citizens of the United States." It is re ported also that a bill for' the segrega tion of Japanese -school pupils. Is to be Introduced. It waa a measure of this character that occasioned an Interna tional controversy in 1909. Upon the earnest solicitation of President Roose velt, the State Legislature at that time dropped the proposals. Deputies Get Salary Increase). MONTESANO. Wash., Jan. 12. (Spe cial.)
