J. JT. Teal, traffic attorney for the
Portland Chamber of Commerce, left
last night for Washington, D. C. to
represent Portland shippers before the
Interstate Commerce Commission at
the hearing of the transcontinental
carriers for new westbound rates to
Portland, Puget Sound terminals and
interior points.
Prank W. Robinson, assistant traffic
manager for the O.-W. R. & N. Com
pany, has gone to Chicago to join rep
resentatives of the other railroads
serving the Northwest at a conference
preliminary to the Washington meet
ing.
While this case is one of the most
Important that the Northwestern roads
and Northwestern shippers ever have
had before the Commission, it is not
certain that Portland shippers will
present a protest. Mr. Teal was not
instructed to protest when he left here
last night.
Coast Interests fa Jeopardy,
The interests of Portland, Seattle
and Tacoma will be seriously affected,

if the application of the carriers is
granted.
The carriers, in brief, propose to
make the transcontinental rates to
Spokane on certain commodities mov
ing in large volume by water so low
that the -Portland jobbers, even with
the advantage of Panama Canal com
petition, will be unable to compete
with the Spokane jobbers in distribut
ing goods over part or

Beautiful Margaret Edwards, who makes a sensational appearance as
'"Naked Truth" in the film "Hypocrites," now running at the Peoples Thea

appeared on the screen.
She has just turned 17 years of age. Her figure has been described as
"perfect" by sculptors to whom she has been a model, but she is beginning
to resent the many criticisms made regarding her character because she ac

reduction to the interior is sub

i i .i .. i . .
Til 15 campaigu iui euuu 1 unuo w u
won.
It requires the constant effort of
every man and every woman who is in
terested in better roads and improved
conditions in the rural districts from
now until next Wednesday to carry the
election for the bond issue.
Because ycii and your neighbor and
your business associates happen to be
in lavor of the bond issue, aon i tninn
that that settles it.
A whole lot of people in the county
may not be in favor of it at all. They
may, in perfect good faith, be opposed
to it. Then it Is your duty to go ana
convince them that they should vote for
the bonds that they should help to
make Multnomah County a better place
to live in.
It is plainly apparent that the people
who. in good faith, are opposed to good
roads, and those who are not informed
on the subject, together will roll up a
big vote against the bond issue.
It is necessary, therefore, for every
one who bellevee in good roads not
only to go to the polls next Tuesday
and vote in favor of the bonds, but to
get everyone else who can be induced
to vote for them to the polls as well.
We need every vote that we can get
to carry this bond election. If we lose
the election now It Is our own fault,
and In future years the people of Mult
nomah County will blame us for our
apparent shortsightedness.
The growth and development or juuii
nomah County will be set back fully
Ave years if this bond election fails to
carry- If it fails, the county commis
sioners, as a simple measure of econ
omy, must go ahead and pave as much
lileage every year as Is possible from
the available funds. It . is estimated
that under this arrangement only IS
mile, of road can be paved each year.
Thus, It would take Ave years to pave
the 70 miles of road that we propose
to pave, under this bond issue, in a
single year.
The taxpayers of Multnomah County
would have to pay in five years what,
under the bond issue, they would pay
in 15 years.
The terms of the bond issue provide
that no payments be made on the prin
cipal for the first four years. Only the
Interest would need to be paid. Begin
ning in the fifth year, one-tenth of the
principal would be paid each year. In
10 years, then, of 14 years from the
time the bonds are issued, the entire
debt, principal and interest, would be
paid off.
The man who pays taxes on an as
sessed valuation of $1000 would pay an
average of only 89. t cents a year, dis
tributed through the 15 years as fol
lows: 1916, 18. cents; 1917, 18.6 cents;.
iis, is.6 cents; iis, ib.b cents; 1920,
55.8 cents: 1921, 53.94 cents; 1922, 82.08
cents: 1923. 60.22 cents; 1924, 48.36
cents: 1925, 46.6 cents; 1926, 44.64 cents;
1927. 42.78 cents; 1928. 40.92 cents; 1929,
29.06 cents.
The total payments of principal and
interest to be charged against the aver
age taxpayer tnus will be only $5.40
and 15 years to pay it in.
There certainly is nothing burden
some about this.
And the County records show that of
the 55.760 taxpayers in the county, pre
cisely 29,908, of 53.6 per cent, pay taxes
on $1000 or less. Those who pay on less
than $1000, therefore, would pay pro
portionately less than $5.40 of the en
tire $1,250,000 bond issue.
Therefore, does It not follow as a
sound public policy, founded upon the
principle of the greatest good to the
greatest number, that wherever it can
be demonstrated that certain public
Improvements (such as road and high
way construction) are necessary for the
proper development of this community.
and wherein it can be demonstrated that
the money raised for such public im
provement is being wisely and efficient
ly spent, and a dollar's worth of labor
and material is being obtained for every
dollar spent, that the funds for such
public Improvements should be voted T
"The 30-mlle railroad that we pur

National forest reserve on the North
Umpqua will develop the greatest ton
nage, . considering its length, of any
railroad in Oregon, I am convinced,'
said S. A. Kendall, of the -Kendall
Lumber Company, at the Benson Hotel
last night.

ness in the Northwest is destined to
come into a period of greater pros
perity than at any previous time in
its history, after the close of the war

that we are willing- to begin the build

Roufbarff Club Indorse. Offer.
Mr. Kendall and. J. L. Snyder, who
is to be the head of the company that
will be formed to handle the construe
tlon and operation of the railroad.
were in Portland yesterday on their
way back to Pittsburg, after having
received the assurance from the Rose
burg Commercial Club that the offer
they had made was most heartily in
dorsed and that the city of Roseburg
would lend every assistance to the
enterprise. Mr. Snyder will go to
Seattle before returning to the East
and Mr. Kendall will go at once to
Pittsburg, where the main offices of
the Kendall Lumber Company are sit
uated.
The offer made by the Kendall com
pany was to construct a standard-gauge
road from Roseburg into its holdings
on the Umpqua River, erect a modern
mill at Roseburg and make other in
vestments, in return for a mill site, a
right of way and municipal bonds to
the sum of $300,000.
. Roseburg to Hold Title.
The title to the road will vest In
the City of Roseburg, which will be
asked to give $300,000 toward the con
struction of the road, and -the Kendall
company will take a lease on the road
for 60 years, with the option of pur
chasing it at any .time for $300,000.
The total cost of constructing the road
is estimated at about $750,000. The
investments of the lumber company in
and about Roseburg will amount to
about $1,000,000 all told.
The bond election can be held in
Roseburg in 45 days and - the City
Council will meet Monday to arrange
for calling it.
"The market for our own lumber
production will be wholly in the East."
says Mr. Kendall, "and we will not be
in competition with the mills supplying
the Coast trade. We hold about 14,000
acres of land, reresentlng about 1.000,
000,000 feet of timber.
Road to Be Common Carrier.
"The railroad which is to go in will
be a common carrier, however, and we
expect it .to develop a tremendous ton
nage in a short time. There are 50,000,
000,000 feet of timber in the territory
tapped by the road enough to keep a
dozen mills busy for a hundred years,
and the new road is to supply the outlet
for this.
"Besides our own sawmill, which
will have a capacity of about 200,000
feet a day, we expect to see four or
five other sawmills come In, and we
will encourage them all that we can
on account of the freight traffic that
will be thus developed. We Intend to
arrange for long-time contracts to sup
Ply logs to other mills."
The proposed road runs for the first
seven and one-half miles up Deer creek,
thence northeast through, a pass, and
strikes the river one mile west of Glide
and goes on the north side of the river
to the National Forest Reserve.
Mr. Kendall and Mr. Snyder said that
they expected to be ready to begin Con
struction in July and to have at least
five miles of the road completed by
the end of this year.
"By a year from July the entire road
will be finished," Baid Mr. Snyder. "It
is planned to carry on the construction
of the mill so that it will be completed
and ready to begin operations at the
time the road Is finished.
"I believe that in a short time after
It is completed," said Frank Alley, of
Roseburg, yesterday, "that the demand
will be so great as to bring about the
construction of a road from Coob Bay
In a short time, Coos Bay will then
become a great shipping point for
lumber destined to go by way of the
Panama Canal. It will then make
Roseburg a central point In Converging

west and from the north and south."
