Ad dresses concerning the technical prob lems of road construction were com bined with talks dealing- with the economic phases of the question. Professor Skelton. of the college staff, spoke on the use of gravel for road building, and declared that the State f Oregon was guilty of not having taken advantage of the resources at her command. "There is enough gravel in the Wil lamette Kiver to build good roads all over the slate. A well-built gravel road, with a thick dressing of gravel, and at least nine feet in width, prop erly built and cared for. Is a cheap and excellent highway," he asserted. "The Possibility of Volunteer Work In the Const met ion and Maintenance of County Roads" was the topic of Judge McKnight. of I. inn County, who told of the work being carried on for i the improvement of highways in his county. "The tax rate in Oregon is high, dnfl to increase it to provide bet ter roads means a hardship for some body." said the speaker. "Last year we instituted a Good Roads Day in 3. inn County: on that one day volun teer work whs done on our roads val ued at J4000." Demonstrations of simple desserts nd fancy baking, by Mrs. Kedzie .tones, and lectures on "Balancing the Dietary." by Miss Milam: "Marketing and Food Problems." by Mrs. Evans, of Portland, an.

Country Church Should He Social Cen ter of Whole Community In Told College tiathcrlnR. OREGON AGRICULTURAL. C0L.L.I:GK, Corvallis. Feb. 3. (Special.) With ministers anil social and religious workers from many parts of the state in attendance the Ministers Conference, forming- a part of the Industrial Con ference Week at the Oregon Agricul tural College, held its first session yesterday. Questions vital to country ministers were discussed. "The Country Church as a Social Center," discussed by Rev. G. K. Pad- dack, of Portland, was a subject of general interest. He said, in part: "The country church should be made the social center of the whole com munity. It should be the playhouse of the parish. "The country church should s"ive a course of lectures in which the pro fessors of the Agricultural College should have an important part. 'The country church should have a part in the financial life of the parish. helping the farmers to buy in large quantities, and, therefore, more cheap ly. It should organize to sell. This will bring the church and community into intellgent connection with the great financial currents of the present day." A rural church, where dances are held on Saturday n ight and where parties are held regularly, was de scribed by Rev. J. M. Boozer, of Orenco, in his address on The Rural Church and Country Life."

Exporting circles were affected yes terday by reports that a sailing ves sel had been taken at 0 shillings and that a steamer had been fixed, the latter probably for tlour. Storm con ditions had piayed such havoc with telegraph wires that cables were not received until late and some that were expected did not arrive, so confirma tion was lacking. Cables due Tuesday at 12 o'clock were received all the way from midnight until 10 o'clock yester day morning. A report early yesterday that a sail ing: vessel was being offered at 50 shill ings was followed soon after by in formation that she had been snapped iid immediately. The charter last week of the British steamer Kish at 55 shill ings was the high-water mark of the season, yet some exporters say that probably ,60 shillings could be obtained for spot steamers, there being a strong inclination to clean up wheat, and with means of transportation available there is said to be an active market for flour in England. The Songvand will get under way to day for Astoria. She has been loaded for a lengthy period, but delay in re ceiving money from the owners .pre vented Captain Fjeldal from sailing. The ship was cleared yesterday and is to tow down with the steamer One onta. The Cambuskenneth began load ing wheat at Montgomery dock yes terday and the Birtha started at North Bank dock. A new arrival in the har bor was the Belgian bark Katanga, which went to Llnnton to discharge ballast. As Captain Mark, her master, the mate and 10 sailors are German subjects, it has not been decided whether they will attempt to return to the United Kingdom in the ship be cause of the danger of capture. Cap tain Mark is awaiting instructions from his owners. The vessel got a departure from Santa Rosalia Roads, December 26, and made the Columbia River January 26. She was originally under engagement to the Portland Flouring Mills Com pany, but a few days ago was rechar tered to M. H. Houser. News comes from Tacoma that the British steamers Luceric and Mancunia, which are to be loaded there at once, will have combined cargoes aggregat ing 18.750 tons, that will be valued at $1,125,000. and if so the record cargo of the Swindon, valued at $400,000, will be lost sight of. and the highest velocity during the aft. ernoon was 60 miles, but it was calmer last evening. At Seattle the velocity was 42 miles, from the southwest, and at Tacoma it was SO miles, from the south. The precipitation of the Past few days Is expected to cause the win- amette to ris here. COAST ASSOCIATION" FOISMS Portland to Join "With Other I'orts in Regulating Move. Delegates from Puget Sound, Grays Harbor and all California ports are due Saturday to meet with shipping inter csts represented in the Chamber of Commerce in organizing a Pacific Coast body for the regulation of shipping charges. Meetings are to be held Sun day and Monday. Formation of sub ordinate bodies has been brought about on Tuget Sound and at San Francisco, while for the past few months Port landers have been striving toward the same end, so. with the last details ready for adoption this week, all are to be merged by Monday under a par ent directorate. -It has been complained that the cost of loading certain vessels at Portland are greater than on Puget Sound, where less wages are paid longshoremen; that the dispatch of vessels is slower, and kindred objections have been filed with the Chamber of Commerce from time to time. Little progress has been made toward an equitable adjustment of such conditions, and with other ports having troubles of various kinds, the move for a Pacific Coast Association was the outcome. One stumbling-block for years has been to induce all water front interests, such as exporters, steamship operators, lumber manufac turers and dock lnterests,-to reach a harmonious understanding, but it is said that the new move has brought all Under the same banner. The meetings are to be held at the Chamber of Com merce. Swell Follows Coast. ASTORIA. Or.. Feb. 3. (Special.)

Tiring; of being designated as a way point on the route of lines operating from Kurope to the North Pacific, so that cargo for Portland is transshipped from either San Francisco or Puget Sound, h movement is taking concrete form among commercial interests to induce importers to assemble freight at certain ports on the other side and in dicate that it shall he routed via any one lino that will guarantee delivery here. Promises have heen made by some steamship operators that have never been fulfilled. As the rush of cereal shipments soon will end for the season it is reasoned that officials of the various lines will not be so inde pendent and may be prevailed on to include Portland on regular schedule, The fact the Koyal Mail has made this port with its Pacific Coast-Orient al-Kuropean service has proved of some assi.stanre, but the lack of a service direct from this harbor through the canal has prevented business being re ceived in the way of parcel shipments. Besides, delivery of inbound cargo is delayed and, with rehandling, danger of breakage is increased. ...8.6 feetllO-.Ofl A. M 1.3 feet .4 ieet(iw:u tr.

IRRIGATION VIEW IS GIVEN East Side Business Men Urge- That . Use of Appropriation Be Fixed. Where the state appropriates money for irrigation purposes, it should be stated specifically on what project the money is to be used in advance to pre vent waste, in the opinion of the com mittee from the East Side Business Men's Club of H. II. Calef. Kobert An drews and S. B. Eagin, on the resolu tion favoring the pending $450, 000 ap propriation. "We find that much money has been wasted on irrigation projects that were hopeless from the start." said Chairman Calef, "and that is what should be guarded against in the future. We favor the reclamation of the arid lands of the state and favor this pending ap propriation, but we shall insist that it shall be slated In the measure where the money is to be used and what projects are to be promoted." One member of the committee will appear before the legislative commit tee and urge that these views be in corporated in tiie bill. wi& A1 1 .
