Coal May B Brought to Coast Cities at Cost Far Below Present Schedule, Is Belief. In the Interests of the develoment ot trade between Australia and the United States, Nlel Nlelson, member of parlla ment from New South Wales and for merly Immigration and Land Commit sloner of that state, was In Portland yesterday In the course of a visit to the United States as a special delegate from his government. At the weekly luncheon of the Pro gresslve Business Men's Club at the Portland Hotel yesterday noon Mr. Nlel son addressed the members, and tola cf the measures of his government for building up a greater commerce be tween Australia and the United States. Before he leaves the United States It la the purpose of Mr. Nlelson to estab lish In behalf of his government, agen cles in all the Important Pacific Coast cities. Including San Francisco. Fort land, Tacoma and Seattle, to look after tha interests of Australian commerce. Mr. Nlelson has already established an office In San Francisco, and has ar ranged for the establishment of a line of three steamships between San Francisco and Australia. The vessels will run out of Sidney and wlllvglve a 30-day mall service between San Fran cisco and that port. It will be the duty of the agencies that the Australian government pro poses to establish In the Pacific Coast cities, to pave the way for new chan nels of trade between Australia and the Paclflc Coast, looking to the ultimate establishment of steamship lines to those cities also. "Both countries would be benefited by an Interchange of commerce." said Mr. Nlelson. Take for example wood. Australia Is rich In hardwoods such as are used In making the best furniture. This Is not so abundant In the United States, while on theother hand the United States abounds In fir and soft woods which Australia would be glad to buy." Mr. Nlelson laid particular stress on the supply of coaL . "We have an Inexhaustible supply right at tide water." he said. "It Is of the most desirable grade and Is only S per cent ash. This coal can be mined, shipped and unloaded on the docks on the Paclflc Coast at a cost of $4.60 a ton." Mr. Nlelson made a plea for the aboli tion of the law prohibiting foreign bot toms from carrying freight between American ports and said It was part of his mission In this country to present the subject before Congress. This would enable Australian vessels t6 ship coal to Pago Pago, a new United States coaling station nine days out from Australia, as well as to Hawaii, and to complete the trip to their objective ports with full cargoes. It is also part of Mr. Nlelson's mis sion to study Irrigation. The govern ment of New South Wales recently bought 3.000.000 acres of land, and has a sufficient water supply to Irrigate the entire area, but Is now trying to solve the problem of distributing the water.
