fessor V. It. Gardner. "Insecticide In
vestigation" was the subject of Pro
fessor II. F. Wilson, head of the
entomology department.
The convention of the Plate Dairy
men's Association was opened by an
invocation by Kev. von Tobel, of the
I'orvallis Tresbyterian Church, and ad
dresses of welcome by President Kerr,
Professor n. P. Iletzel and Dean A. B.
Cordley. The feature of the day's pro-
gi ainme was an address by Professor
C. II. Kckles. of the University of Mis
souri. Professor Kckles is probably the
leading educator in the dairying in
dustry in the country. Visiting dairy
men "last evening were entertained at

and tile manufacturer' conference and
tiie conference of representatives of

Iloari Work In Important.
Of special interest were the pro
ceedings of the convention of County
Judges and lto;id Supervisors. 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. "Household Accounts
and Budgets." by K. B. Lemon, were

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

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.

DIRECT SKHVICK IS SOUGHT
Proposal That Patronage Go to Fleet
Making Portland Ilcgularly.
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.

the world that draws out all the
poisonous 'exudations whicli puff up
the feet and cause tender, sore, tired,
aching feet. It instantly stops the pain

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.

That Pain Is Useful
A Dain ia a very useful thing
times, for it points to something wrong
inside. Backache may be taken as a
warning of kidney trouble, if there are
also aching joints, urinary oisoru..
dizzv headaches and drowsy, despond
ent, tired feelings. Kidney weakness
is dangerous to neglect, for It is likely
to lead to rheumatism, gravel, dropsy,
or Bright's disease.
Doan's Kidney Pills have been suc
cessfullv used for years throughout the
world in fighting kidney troubles, and
are surely reliable. It is sensible,
however, to help the medicine by
avoiding over-eating, over-work, worry
and excesses. Use little or no liquor
milk and water are much better
kep regular hours and take some out
door exercise such as walking. The
medicine will then take quicker effect.
Doan's Kidney PIH r recommend
ed everywhere.
Portland Testimony:
O I. Conner, barber. 48 E. 74th St.,
Portland, says: "I have still great con
fidence in Uoan'a Kidney Pills and con
firm all I said about them in my
former statement In their praise. They
entirely rid me of kidney trouble, and
I have noticed no sign of it for over
two years."
