Construction Work Will Start at Once According to Great Northern Head. osutaciunisr a ROOM FOR 1000 CARS PLAN riace Selected Three Miles West of Astoria With Frontage of 3800 Feet on Columbia River Part of Railroad Subsidy. ' ASTORIA. Or.. April 10. (Special.) "Our proposed big steamship wharves and terminals are to be located at Flavel and construction work on them rill be commenced in -the immediate tuture." Such was the announcement Dade this morning bv Louis W. Hill president of the Great Northern Rail road Company, who with a party of other railroad officials and financiers of St. Paul passed & few hours In the City today. "That Is the logical point for this . Bevelopment," continued Mr. Hill, "on account of the advantages it offers for economy in construction and as a de sirable site for the quick dispatch of trains and steamships. We have de cided to utilize that location as being for the best interests of all concerned. We do not wish to be understood as favoring any particular location for the building of the3e docks further than to justify the most adequate means to handle our traffic and make provision for a greatly increased trade. "This Is an Astoria proposition and Che people should get together at once and make the entire Lower Columbia River district one." While not going into details. Mr. Hill Intimated that the plans for the docks are practically ready and the structures will be on a mammoth scale, with yard age facilities sufficient to accommo date not less than 1000 cars. He said that while the contract for the two ocean greyhounds now being built at the Cramp yards in Philadelphia calls for the vessels to be finished in Jan uary, the company expects a delay of a month or two in the delivery, but the docks will be ready by the time they arrive. The site selected by the Hill system, three miles west of this city, is In cluded in the confines of the Port of I Astoria and is what is familiarly known as Tanzy Point. The property was a portion of the subsidy given to A. B. Hammond at the time he built the rail road and it was selected for Mr. Ham mond by the late Collls P. Huntington, then preeldent of the Southern Pacific. " The tract comprises 3800 feet of front age on the Columbia River and is looked upon by railroads men as among the most valuable assets under the control of the Spokane, Portland & Se attle. During their stay In Astoria, Presi dent Hill and party were taken in au tomobiles to various points about the city and at 10:30 their special train left on the return trip to Portland. HILL OFFICIALS ARK BACK Executive of Great Northern and Party Go to Seattle. Ij. C. GUman, president of the North Bank and other Hill lines centering in Portland, returned yesterday after ac companying the HfVl party from Asto ria and Flavel to Vancouver. Wash. A. M- Lupfer. chief engineer; W. D. Skin ner, traffic manager, and George H. Smitton. assistant general freight agent of the Great Northern, returned yesterday from the Astoria trip. The remainder of the Hill party went direct to Tacoma and Seattle without re-entering Portland. Air. Hill plans to devote about three weeks to the trip from Seattle to St. Paul, as he wants to Inspect all parts of the line thoroughly. Mr. Gilman yesterday declared that the Hill interests have been consider ing Klavel as their terminal site for long time, but that it awaited the visit of Li. . Hill to determine its final se lection. Plans for the docks have been completed, he said, and the work will proceed to permit their use promptly upon inauguration of steam ship service between San Francisco and the Columbia River.

Vollmer is "wet" through and through in his convictions, just at the time when the Bull Moose leaders were about to raise the standard of statewide prohibition as the principal plank In their plat form. Through the activities of the local party leaders, reinforced by the persua sive powers of George W. Perkins. Mr. Vollmer was Induced to say that If his health permitted he would make the race for Governor as a Bull Mooser. As Mr. Vollmer is the "largest lndl vidual taxpayer in Idaho" there was naturally great rejoicing over the pros pect of his candidacy, especially as Mr Humblrd had refused to run for the Senate. But right at the critical point Rev. W. J. Herwlg, who is leading the state-wide "dry" campaign in Idaho, dug up the Information that Mr. Voll mer is an uncompromising "wet." and that while he has never taken an ac tive part in the liquor fights in his own Immediate community, he has never left any man In doubt aa to where he stood on the issue of pro hibttlon. Representatives of the Bull Moose or ganlzatlon here have made no definite statements, as they are awaiting the big Progressive meeting to be held here next Monday. Some of the men in charge of the party say the liquor is- themselves that It will be necessary for Mr. Vollmer to pledge himself to state wide prohibition for the campaign in order not to embarrass the Bull Moose. This afternoon Mr. Vollmer declined to state whether or not he would con form to the prohibition platform which the Progressives have outlined for the coming election.
