The California-Atlantic Steamship Company la owned by Batea 4k tiese brouch. who atarted to run a line of ateamera from the Atlantic Coaat to Portland aoma months iko. but changed their plana and organised the present Una to operate by the way of the Isth mus of Panama. IMwt Panama l.lnc Poalble. J. TV.

With Mr. Chapman la hla assistant. J. II. Robinson, who la also optimistic vrtr the prospects for an excellent patronage for hla company between thla port and the Atlantic Coast.

Thos It la hoped by Mr. Chapman to get sufficient patronage In Portland to enable the company to dispatch vessels directly from thla port to Panama. Mr. chapman believes that before the end of this week he will be In position to say to what extent the company will ba abla to serve Portland shippers. Rate War IV-Inf Fought. Hates A Chesebrough originally planned to eetabllah a through line of ateamera by way of Cape lioeo. between Portland and Atlantic ports, and as a beginning- sent the steamer Altec to thla port with a cargo directly from the Atlantic Coaat. Before the Aatec had finished discharging her cargo, however, tha Bates Chesebrough In terests had organised the California Atlantic Una with the Idea of operat ing by way of Panama, and thua be coming a rival of the Ilarrtman Inter eata and tha American - Hawaiian ftmnhli Company. Pacflc Mall ratea were lowered re cently and a rate war with tha new company waa atarted. which haa caused appeala to be made to Wash ington for protection of the new con cern. Many of the shippers of California are opposing the rate war on tha ground that tha reduction will be only temporary, and that If the Pacific Mall Pteainshlp Company contlnuea Ita fight. It will put the new line out of the field, so that competition will be. restricted once more. MORE SCHOONERS TO HE ADDED Service Between Portland and San Francisco Expected to Grow.

For sale by all deal PEOPLE MAY VOTE Attorney for Saloonmen to In voke Initiative. BREWERS TO BE ATTACKED Man to Wliont Transfer of lice nse Is Refused Raises Issue of Power of Attorney- Council May Debate Case Today. Appeal to the people through the ini tiative to abolish the powers of attor nev held by breweries over saloons will be made, according to Roger B. Slnnott, counsel for Charles Thornton, who has been trying without success to secure from the City Council the right to transfer his saloon lloense from Sixth and Flanders to Thirteenth and Washington streets. . Mr. Slnnott Is also attorney for the Retail Liquor Dealora' Association, and while he doea not represent them n this particular case the action appears significant. In dicating that the retailers are about to lock horns with the wholesalers to break the monoply on aaloona that la declared to be held by brewers. "1 have Information coming from M. J. Drlscoll. Councllman-at-large. that I am licked by ten votes In the Coun cil had better May down.'" said Mr. Mnnott yesterday afternoon. hlle I may be licked I shall not lay down, but shall continue my fight to break the hold of the brewers over the retail saloons of this city. Council to Hear Issue, "I Intend to go before the Council In the morning and see who the ten Coun clmen are who are alleged to have been lined up against my client to prevent him from securing the transfer of hla license from one location to another where there has a saloon for years." Speaking of his Intention aa to sub mitting sn Initiative bill to tha people In June. Mr. Slnnott said: "1 shall circulate an Initiative peti tion, submitting to the people the question whether the breweries shall have the right to hold powers of attor ney over saloons. I belleva tha voters will decide without any doubt against powers of attorney. The saloonkeeper should be allowed to run his place of business under his own license and should not be dictated to by any brewer or anyone else In the business. Thornton haa been trying for several weeka to secure action by the Council, granting him authority to transfer his license to Thirteenth and Washington streets, but the license committee has not made a favorable recommendation. At the last meting, held Monday, the committee voted to send the case to tha mnln body without recommendation, and it will come up for action thla morning, when It a probable thera will be a vigorous discussion. Residents File Protest. There Is a protest befora the Council by residents in the vicinity of Thir teenth and Washington streets against the granting of a license to a saloon there. These people are represented by If. M. Ksterly, who Is attorney for the Municipal Association. Powers of attorney are held by tha various breweries of the city over about ISO saloons, and at various times there have been efforts to abolish these powers. When the so-called model license, which goes Into effect April 1. waa paased by tha City Coun cil, the powers of attorney were ex tended and made affective until lMcember 31. 1912. at the request of Paul Wesslnger. representing tha Welnhard brewery. L SOUTHWKST WAS!U.VGTO TO TRADE HEIIK. Development Association Appreci ates Courtesies Extended by Commercial Club. Friendly relations that exist between Portland and Southwestern . Washing ton were never more strongly shown than during the recent convention of the Southwest Washington Develop ment Association at Vancouver. This was noticeable throughout the sessions and found definite expression of thanks in a resolution that was adopt ed voicing the appreciation of the con vention at the attention shown It by the Portland Commercial Club. This friendly spirit was further shown yesterday when the Commercial Club received a letter from N. B. Coff man, of Chehalis. vice-president of the Southwest Washington , Development Association and one of the leading bankers of the western half of the state. Mr. Coffman spoke of the value of the work being carried forward by the Portland Commercial Club and .the Oregon Development League as fol lows: "Returning home after our great meeting at Vancouver. I cannot re frain from saying a word In apprecia tion, and acknowledgment of the great work Portland has been doing for -the whole of Southwestern Wsshlngton during the past year. "Everywhere all over this part of tha state the feeling Is growing that we are on the eve of a great forward movement. The three greatest In fluences that have brought this about, not overlooking the fine work of tha Tacoma Ledger, are the publicity de partment of the Portland Commercial Club, the organisation of the Southwest Washington Development Association, and the advertising department of the transcontinental railroads, all working unitedly and for a common purpose. "The cordial feeling toward Portland that your work with us haa cultivated will certainly be repaid to you a thousandfold in our business with your Jobbing houses and with your commer merclal and financial institutions gen erally. The apparent great future of Portland grows on us dally. "I hope that the close friendly rela tions so auspiciously established may be long continued to our mutual well being." PERSONALMENTION. F. C.
