Attorneys 1.1 ve Opinion. In conclualon the attorney opined: We tl.lnk that the riparian ownera on the Willamette River own aa far aa the ordinary low-water mark: that they hare w r.arfare rights out to the nav iKahle part of the stream, which, how ever, they must exercise In conformity with your regulation: that If these ownera bulkhead at your Invitation and vou till tn their ground they will there by become the owners of the made sround. subject to the rlsht of naviga tion, but that limitation would not he of much Importance: for. aa a matter of fact, these fills would probably not In frlnce on the rla-ht of navigation, but - would rather aid It. Finally, we would say that if 11 ever becomes necessary In the future to widen the harbor by push ing t;-.e harbor lines nearer to th shore, the owners of these made lands could not be deprived of them without com pensation." "As none have availed themselvea of the offer to receive dredsed material after tney provide bulkheads. I feel that It should be suspended pendlna; the outcome of the controversy." said Mr. Mears. and a motion to that effect H curried. I 'onimissioner Goldman sua,aested that the United Improvement Clubs be Informed that the Commission would be represented at the forthcoming; meeting-, which was acted on. Pilotage Plaaa C'oaeldvrrd. What was regarded a hlirhly Import ant move in connection with the cam paicn to attract regular steamship lines to Portland, and particularly In relation to the plan for a resumption of tha direct service to Oriental ports, was a resolution offered by President Mears that If a line he established permanently to. operate between Port land and any foreign harhor It would be K-uaranteed that the pilotage from the sea to Portland and return would not be In excess of the pilotage from the sea to Puget Sound ports and re turn. or course one of the Port of Port land bar pilots would bring such ves sels Into the river, handling them to Astoria, and on the return would taka them over the same course, but from Astoria to Portland and return the duty would be performed by members of the Columbia Ulver Pilots! Asso ciation and the proposition would be to reimburse them for the difference In rates as compared with Puget Sound. The situation will be gone over thoroughly In advance of the nrxt meeting and comprehensive data covering ptlotace and other charges las been collected by Manager Tal bot. Commissioners Goodman. Inman and iKMlge were designated by President Mears as a special committee to delve Into the matter of providing fuel fa cilities for supplying regular liners tth their bunker needs. Prealdont Mears said he felt that eventually Portland would have to equalize the fuel question, aa against Puget Sound, and It wii high time that the subject was gone Into from every angle, so that the Port would be prepared to act In the Interest of building up com merce. Coal Barm too lovi. Commissioner Podse said -that he had discussed the proposed plan to build bunkers at Astoria with a mem ber of the Port of Astoria Commission, while President Mears said he had talked with the same interests, but the Board was apparently not satisfied that bonkers were the best means of meeting the situation. There was a report read from Manager Talbot, cov ering Ms visit to San Francisco last week In that connection, and he said that tke barges used by the Western Fuel Company and the Pacific Coast steamship Company. which are equipped with conveyors to hoist coal aboard ships, were too slow and ex pensive to be of practical use In Port land. He la to receive drawings of con veyors next week, one of which, he thinks, will prove sufficiently fast for the work. The conveyors In service at Sao Francisco, he said, would not han dle to exceed 75 tons an hour. Touching on the prospects for new business with vessel-owners snd char terers in the south. Mr. Talbot said that he visited all who were in the city and received such assurancea of patronage that he feels the drydock and towage departments will be bene fited. When the monthly estimate of head way made In the construction of the new steel dredge by the Willamette Iroa Steel Works was considered. Consulting Engineer J. B. C. Ixckwood was asked to explain why the con tractor had turned out certain parts of the machinery In caatlron Instead of rastateel. as provided In the specifica tions, tie said it waa an oversight, due to the assumption that the ma chinery was to be patterned after that on the dredge Columbia. As a sim ilar case had been considered at the last meeting, the Board voted not to ai-cept the caatlron. but to Insist on i-aststeel. f f: 1.34 due, IS per cent was with held, as provided In the contract, and authorised to be paid. It was a' reported that the pontoons for l ie tew dredse had been completed. :.if the Board will not formally accept tlirm until the dredge is turned over. There waa a communication read 'rom W. T. Carroll, offering to enter Vlnto a contract for supplying the dredg es 1th fuel, and It was referred to Man ager Talbot. A special committee re ported that two bargea .of the Port fleet had been surveyed and one could be used If about liiiO was spent for repairs. The other was recommended to be condemned. Plans for a new barge will be submitted at the next meeting. DAMS MAY NOT BLOCK RIVKR Proporl Wall at Willamette I.ock Not to Stop Transportation.

The vessel Is mak ing her first trip after an overhauling. She la the vanguard of the fleet that will carry the heavy travel northward until kite In the Kail. The steamer Bear, which sails this morning, lias a fair passenger list and a full cargo. There la little cargo left on Atneworth dock that she could not accommodate, and with the exception of rolls of paper consigned to various California publications. It Is expected that the Rose City will clean up the accumulation. Since the San Fran cisco A Portland Interests appointed a traveling freight agent for the North west territory promises of business from the Interior have meres-nod. and if even but a small percentage is real ised there will bo more cargo offered than can be cared for w-ith the present tonnage.

PLAN TO AID THE GROWERS rrospect Output Five Years Hence of 75.000 Carload Brings Ne cessity for Perfection ot Scheme to Market Whole. Indorsement of the Northwest Fruit Exchange as sn institution beneficial to the Pacific Northwest was made yesterday by a committee representing the Portland Commercial Club, the Chamber of Commerce and tho Clear-ing-Huuae Association. Officers of the exchange met with the local committee upon invitation and explained In detail the operations and purposes of the institution. That an organization of this kind is absolutely necessary to market successfully the enormous fruit crop of the Northwest each year was the unanimous expres sion of the Portland men. many of whom learned for the first time the real objects of the exchange and the possible benefits that can accrue to all the fruitgrowing districts ef Oregon. Washington and Idaho through Its a-areful management. The object of the meeting was to enable the Portland Institution to co operate with the exchange in develop ment of the Northwestern fruit indus try. While the business of the ex change is confined almost wholly to marketing fruit and to exploitation of the products of the Northwest, it really aids materially In building up the country and protecting the growers from the operations of Eastern com mission men by a systematic method of sale and distribution that extends to all parts of the world. Commercial Bodies Represented. In thus developing one of the chief Industries of the Northwest the com mercial bodies and financial Institu tions felt that they were performing one of their required functions In seek ing co-operation with the fruit ex change. Those present at the meeting were: J. C. Alnsworth and Wilfrid P. Jones, representing the Clearing-Hotiso Association: C. A. Mordon and Guy W. Talho:. representing the Commercial Club: W. B. Glafke and C. A. McCargar, representing the Chamber of Com merce: W. F. Rurrell and G. K. John son, of the executive committee of the Commercial Club, and Worrall Wilson, of Seattle: W. N. Irish, cr North Tak Ims: ,YV. F. Gwin. of Portland: C. A. Malbdcuf. of Portland: A. C. Randall, of Talent: K. S. Miller, of Medford; John r. Sugrtie. of Cashmere, members of the Northwestern Fruit Exchange, and A. P. Bateham. of Mosler. president of the Oregon Horticultural Society, and C. C. Chapman, manager of the Commercial Club's promotion oepart nient. who was elected chairman and secretary. Mr. Wilson, who Is a lawyer and di rector in a number of Seattle banks, as well as general counsel for the Northwestern Fruit Exchange, outlined the plans of the organisation, its in tents and purposes, its methods of op eration and the field that it fills in the local community. Illustrative of the local situation he explained the circumstances attending the organization of the California Fruit Exchange, which were briefly as fol lows: f'alCforala Flaw Told. About in years ago the California orange-growers had developed their In dustry to such an extent that there was a surplus on the market, yet the pro duction then was only 23 per cent that of the present day. The orange-growers held a conference and decided that co-operation In selling and marketing was necessary. They organized unions or associations in their several home communities. These organizations In turn were responsible to district ex changes of which there are now 16 In California. The whole group of organ izations In turn Is under the manage ment of the one central body at lxs Angeles, which attends to marketing, advertising and general exploitation of the California fruit products. As a re sult of this system the price of oranges to the consumer has been reduced It a box. while the returns to the grow ers. In the face of this, have been In creased 75 cents a box. As a result of the reduction to the consumer or anges have been made a staple Instead of a luxury on every market. The cen tral exchange collects a. charge of l'i centa on every box to pay its ex penses and to carry on development and trade extension work. The aver age annual output of California or anges is 40.000 cars of 320 boxes each. By the co-operative system it has been possible to maintain a market for this enormous amount of fruit, yet 1 years ago 10,000 cars swamped the market. Krnlt Crop ta Be 73.04)0 Cars. On a similar lasts the Northwestern Fruit Exchange aims to conduct the work of marketing the apples and pears grown In the three states of the Pacific Northwest. Mr. Wilson pointed out that there are at present about Son, 000 acres of land planted to apples and pears In these three states, all of whirh should be in bearing within five years. While some of these properties may not develop to the full extent of their owners' expectations. It Is rea sonable to believe that at least 73.000 carloads of fruit will be produced here annually after the next five years. Heretofore the market for Northwest em fruits has been confined principally to New York and Chicago. Eastern commission Jobbers have manipulated the movement of this fruit to a large extent and In some Instances the grow er! have not even recovered the freight charges. One purpose of tho exchange is to widen the market, extending it to Europe. Australia and Africa and to regulate the movement of the fruit so that It will he distributed to the mar kets of the world to meet the demands of the local communities. Co-operation In selling will eliminate the necessity of the Northwestern growers competing against each other In the markets of the world, which will Insure them higher prices, and elimination of .the Eastern commission men and brokers will remove the cause of the high price at which Oregon, Washington and Idaho fruits are held In Eastern cities. Oraanlaatloa Oa Stork Baala. Since the exchange has been In oper ation Northwestern fruits have been placed In IsS different markets, yet the field Is almost unlimited. The New York buyers have not been able to control the output. Only 10 cars were sent by tho exchanire Into New York City last year, hut these brought high er prices to the grower than those sold by any other agency. 'There is every prospect," said Mr. Liii Women who bear children and re main healthy are. those who prepare their systems In advance of baby's coming.

Mother's Friend Wilson, "that within five years the Northwestern apple crop will exceed In value the wheat crop, and it is necessary, therefore, for the bankers to make arrangements to nnance these crops. The bankers can't help in this work unless the apples are in the hands of a concern that knows how to market them." The local exchange Is organized on a basis somewhat different from that In California, inasmuch as this is a stock company, while that is mutual. How ever most of the stock is held by the several smaller unions or associations affiliated with the exchange, and a , provision in the constitution limits the I annual profits to 10 per cent. The ex- j cess profits revert to the growers, pro rated on the number of boxes handled. The exchange collects 10 cents a box for all fruit It handles, which Is 24 cents less than the charge In Califor nia. Mr. Malhoeuf and Mr. Gwin also spoke briefly. Members of the com mittee became thoroughly impressed with the necessity of maintaining an organization of this kind for the de velopment of the fruit Industry in the Northwest and unhesitatingly gave it their unanimous and unqualified in dorsement, i ci rv ckiks for rkjcvkxatiox, SAVS B.

Stone, president of the Astoria Chamber of Commerce, at the Portland. "We have every logical suggestion for making Astoria a great city and we believe that it will be entirely our own fault if its natural advantages are rot developed. The matter of com mon point rates on wheat is but one incident which will probably come to us and it will result In the establish ment of at least one flouring mill, thu product of which can be consumed In the lmmedlnte territory and local coast points. 'Before any other advantage can be taken of such rates the city has before It a great task- in tho rebuilding of its water front. The Port of Astoria and tho Reclamation Commission are now working out plans to this end and it1 will result In the building of a sea wall and tilling In behind. This will take time and money, but the people of Astoria hove awakened to the reali zation that they must help themselves first before outside al can be hoped for. "In common with Portland we know that there Is not enough water on the Columbia River bar and with the usual Governmental delays there is little chance of the north Jetty being com pleted for several years. Both cities should work together in getting more water on the bar, as It is the first es sential In making the great Columbia basin an outlet for Its products. "Astoria proposes to prepare for the great business awakening that Is ap proaching the Pacific Coast and take full advantage of it. We are not Jeal ous of the success of any of the other cities of the Coast, for we realize we have overlooked many opportunities when we might have been commer cially as Important as some of our neighbors.
