Company to Tbia City. Five men appointed on a special sub committee at the meettlng of tho Pro gressive Business Men's League com mittee yesterday to consider plans for securing a steamship service with Alas ka will begin at once the nrst aennue steps In tho movement. Every whole sale merchant In the city will be vis ited and the sub-oommittee will And exactly how great a tonnage of mer chandise Is billed out of Portland for Alaskan ports, thus ascertaining just how great an Inducement in trade can be offered by local merchants for the establishment of a steamship line. A second meeting of the general committee will be called as soon as the sub-committee has secured Its data, and a definite .policy will he adopted. E. H. Dodge, vice-president 01 tne t. J. Dodge Company, of San Francisco, agree at the meeting yesterdsy to fur nish one steamer to carry freight out of Portland as soon as the merchants here could assure him of at least 200 tons of freight per trip. klpplag Oatleesi Bright. Many of those who were present at the meeting yesterday declared that they believed more than the required amount of fright was being billed out of Portland for Alaska by way of Seat tle and that If the co-operation or Portland merchants could be secured. the whole volume of Portland'a Alaska freight could be turned -In to help the project advanced by Mr. uoage. . . W. Raymond said that the company which he represented could guarantee 10 tons for each trip and C. C. Chap man named offhand nearly a dosen large wholesale merchanta of the city who are doing hundreds of tona of shipping to Alaska each season. "I am sick of trading In Seattle," said J. R. Dodaon. of Circle City, who waa present at the meeting. I have been stung there so often that now I buy in San Francisco whenever It is possible. I would much prefer, however, to buy from Portland merchanta If there were only facilities for shipping between here and the Alaskan porta. I can assure yon that thfre are hundreds of other merchants In Alaska who feel as I do." Qalek Actios Urged. L. T. Weaver, of the Studebaker Comnany. favored sending men In ad vance to solicit business and build up trade with Alaska before establishing steamship line. The majority of those present, however, were inclined to believe that the establishment of the line as proof that Portland is In a po sition to supply Alaskan markets di rect, although the establishment or such a line might not be a great pay ng proposition at first, was the best step to be taken first In preparing to build up greater Aiasaan iraae xor Portland. Members of the sub-committee ap po;nted to gather data are: F. A. Free man. Jamea E. Kinder. Phil S. Bates, J. L. Sterrett and J. K. Dodson, of Circle City. Those present at the meeting were G. F.

EUROPE DRAWS STEVENS Railroad Builder's Trip Abroad Pre cludes Visit Here. Instead of coming to Portland with- n the next few weeks. John K. Stevens, x-presldent of the North Bank Rail road, is likely to go to Europe with a view of obtaining contracts on railroad construction work contemplated there. Mr. Stevens recently organized the John F. Stevens Company for the pur pose of engaging In heavy construction work on railroads, bridges, wagon roads and big irrigation projects. He an nounced his intention of coming to Portland to Investigate the posslblll- ies of extending bis operations In this errltory, but advice from European cities caused him to change his plans. is probable that he will sail from New York before the end of the month. which precludes the possibility of a visit to Portland. E. P. Shannon, who was Mr. Stev ens' secretary both while he was chief engineer on the Panama Canal and while he was In Portland, will accom pany him to Europe. They are making arrangements to remain there for an ndctermlnate period. Mr. Stevens' friends In Portland have not been ad vised as to the nature of the contract that he hopes to obtain. They expected him to arrive In Portland witaln the present week, but in view of his more recent plans they do not look for him at all.

SPORTSMEN WANT CHANGES IN LAWS Banquet at Imperial Hotel Is Marked by Discussion of. Mooted Topics. OPINIONS ARE DIVERSE Members of Oregon Fish and Game Association See Need for Altera tions Larger Bag- Limit Is XTrged by Hunters, If the sentiment of nearly 100 prom inent sportsmen' In attendance at the annual meeting of the Oregon Game and Fish Commission Is sny evidence, the next session of the State Legis lature will be a most vital one for duck, geese, deer hunters and fisher men, for a complete overhauling of the ststute books on the game and flah situation is apparently a most popular demand. Among the Innumerable changes for which the aDeakers at last night's ban quet at the Imperial Hotel appealed are: The harmonising of (he game laws in the counties along the Colum bia and in the Willamette Valley; a change In the duck, geese and deer limit; establishment of resting lakes for fowl; abolition of the automatic gun; provision for more deputy game wardens and swift moving launches. Societies to Be Formed. Efforts are to be made by both wings SPOKANE FIRST BACKER IS . CHOSEN TO MAXAGE VICTORIA TEAM. Lea Kordyke. VICTORIA. Jan. 15. Lou Nor dyke, first bsseman on the Spo kane team last year, has been engaged as playing manager of the Victoria Northwestern team, it was announced tonight. of the association, the hunters and the anglers, before the next session of the Legislature, one year from now, look ing toward the organization of county fish and county hunt societies in all sections of the, state. These societies will be called upon for a vote on the multitudinous vexing questions of limit, open and closed seasons, etc, which votes will Influence the commission In Its recommendation to the state solons. Dr. William Campbell, president of the Fly Casters' Club, impressed upon the sportsmen the necessity of unity of action, and predicted the formation of local angling societies along the lines of the county medical societies within another year. Dr. Campbell ridiculed the complaints sgainst the distribution of fry by pointing out that In this Jurisdiction a total of l.SSO.OOO trout and 600,000 bass bad been liberated. C. K. Cranston, of Pendelton, -president of the State Commission, and George H. Kelly, a member of the Board, reinforced Dr. Campbell's re marks from the fishing standpoint. Mr. Kelly pointed out that the policy of the Board had been to utilize the hatcher ies already In existence rather than to establish new ones, although efforts are being made to locate a main dis tributing plant on Spring Creek, in Klamath County, from which point he believes most of the state could be served. The land Is Indian property and the Board is having some difficulty In securing rights from Uncle Sam. Hatchery Worst Told. "I have been asked why we haven't stocked the Clackamas 7" said Mr. Kelly. "This year we put in over 1,000,000 steelheads and 30,000 Eastern brook. We are looking over a site on the Meacbara River and one on the Deschutes. The Bonneville hatchery, 40 miles from Portland, put out over 1.000,000 trout during the year, while a similar number are now hatching. As expected, the duck men advanced widely separated arguments, A. -I Mills, president, of the First National Bank and one of the foremost pre serve hunters. Dr. K. A. J. MacKenzle and others arguing strenuously against Game Warden Flnley's proposal to cut down the limit on ducks from 35 to possibly 35. "Give us 60." was the gist of the argument. "I've had the limit only three times this season," declared Mr. Mills, who shoots at Deer Island, a web-foot par adise during feeding time. "Thirty- five Is not enongh. we have big flights only two or three times a year and a man should be permitted to bag at least 50 then. I do believe, though. In making preserves of various lakes. At Deer Island we have a resting lake where the birds are immune from the screeching shot. And I do most cer tainly assert that the feeding of the birds has been the salvation of the hunting In this section. ' sir. Mills argued for the harmoniz ing of the open and closed seasons In the Willamette Valley, and expressed the view that September 1 to February 15 would make the Ideal killing season. Perklaa Backa Flnley. Frank Perkins, a newspaperman who followed, spoke from the non-preserve standpoint. Perkins ridiculed a tele gram received from Waiter Honey- man from San Francisco, in which the latter declared unconstitutional the proposed ban on repeating firearms; he advocated the slicing of the duck limit to Ji birds and the deer limit to two deer, buck or doe, and after heaping a few wreaths upon, the brow of War den Flnley. wound up by facetiously advising the preserve hunters to es tablish their own gravel bars and not molest the individual hunter in his ef forts to bag a few game birds In the sand bar districts along the rivers. Dr. MacKenzle delivered one of the most interesting talks of the session and his was the distinction of firing the nrst explosive into tne camp of the automatlo gunner. Dr. MacKenzle recommended the opening of the public maraeis to gams auring certain por-1 it - S v," -.-I-1 ' - - 3 tlons of the season and called attention to the Inadequacy of the present pro tective system, advocating a $5 license. if necessary, to add to the present quota of it assistant wardens. Limit on Shooting Urged. "Buccaneers who steal up on feeding birds and potshot them and those who shoot on sandbars should be run out of the country," declared the speaaer. "Hunters shouldn't be allowed to shoot until one hour after sunrise and should be made to cease within one hour of sunset. I would be in favor of limiting shooting to Wednesdays and sunaays. It developed during the meeting that license money In Oregon amounts to about tlOO.000 per year. jonn uiii. n resident of the Fish and Game Asso ointion. emphasized the disregard for the present laws on the part of these thousands of hunters, ana cauea ior a better realization of what Oregon s natural resources signify. Mr. Gill, who occuDled the chair, read a tele gram from Governor West expressing regret at non-attenaance. Superintendent O'Malley urged th cinslnsr of some cf the streams an tributaries to the Clackamas and other rivers, to. be used as nurseries for the young fish. He also explained away the fallacy that the steelhead trout Is of the salmon family by declaring that the steelhead should rightfully be put In the trout category.

LI CATES joined the Portland club to be a versatile player of more than passing merit, for he could play al most any position as well as pitch a clever game. He was signed by McCredls as a pitcher, and worked regularly in his turn In the box. and alternated at dif ferent infield and outfield positions for the Portland team that season. A good hitter and fairly accurate batsman. Cates had no trouble in making good. but he, like French and others, was a hard man to get along with among the players of the team, and McCredie allowed him to go to the Oakland team the following season. From Oakland Cates was drafted by the Washington team of the American League, where he pitched in 1907 and part of 1908. Washington sold Cates to Minneapolis, of the American Asso ciation, and after he pitched a few games in that circuit he Jumped to the California outlaws, where he played In 1908. and 1909. In 1910 Cates was out of the game most of the season. but succeeded In getting on with Bob Brown's Vancouver. B. C team, of the Northwestern League, and he had successful season, last year.

By a lucky goal In the second half, Shattuck succeeded In drawing the soc cer match with Gleneoe yesterday on Multnomah Field, and in all probabil ity thereby deprived the latter of any chance of the section leadership, which will fall to Ainsworth unless Clinton Kelly springs a surprise today. The game was noticeable chiefly for the Improved play on both sides. In the first game of the season tech nical faults were so numerous that for the referee to have given them all would have spoiled the game entirely. Today the boys, with few exceptions, have a good understanding of the rules; in fact, yesterday there was hardly a fault that was not 'spotted" by the boys immediately. Gleneoe did the lion's share of the attacking, but was up against a de fense that stood upon no ceremoney. with the result that no goal was scored till Stram got through with a ground shot one minute before change of ends. The second half was a strenuous af fair, for after Shattuck had drawn level through Rosensteln, Gleneoe struggled desperately to regain the lead. When time was called the ball was within five yards of the goal mouth,, and a good shot would have given . them the game beyond doubt had It been forthcoming. The lineup: Gleneoe.

Glencoe's backs kicked well, but were too prone to play In a line, a mistake that Is apt to let the oppos ing forwards in close to goal. The halves worked hard and the forwards showed some excellent combinations, but were weak in shooting. On the Shattuck side Derbyshire, Mitchell and Rosensteln stood out most conspicu ously. Today Ainsworth meets Clinton Kelly in the same section, when a win for the former will give It the right to meet the leaders In section two. At present Portsmouth looks like filling the position In question, not naving lost a single game. Tomorrow Lincoln meets Jefferf -n in the High School League, probably on the Multnomah Field. Manager Good win, with the team In good condition, hopes to have a stronger lineup in the field on this occasion than when Port land , Academy scrambled home with the odd goal in three.
