" Participation at All River Points Is Planned for Party on Undine. Permission Given for Fire boats to Take Part. The Dalles-Celilo committee of the new Chamber of Commerce went on record Tuesday as strongly favoring the chartering of the steamer Unuine for a round trip from Portland to Lewiston and return during the week ot May 3 to 8. The estimates of probable receipts from passenger fares and berth reser vations made it evident that practical ly no risk would be incurred in guar anteeing the required price. The ques tion will be put up by the committee today to the executive committee of the new chamber at its noon meeting. The committee recognized the strong bearing that a through boat from Portland, participating at all points during the celebration week would have. That this opinion is shared by the Inland Empire communities is evi denced by the following extract from a letter by E. A. Cox, chairman of the Lewiston committee. Mr. Cox says: Publicity Importance Emphasised. We consider that of all phases of the joint celebrations at all points not a single one would be as effective in publicity as the sending of a boat to the upper Teaches of the river, 500 miles distant. It will show that the full distance can be run conveniently within two days. "Portland should emphasize its in terest in waterways at the farthest point that its navigable waters reach, Lewiston. This is not said In a spirit of prejudice, but represents Teally, as we view it, the broad grasp of the waterways situation, dealing not only with the present, as newly developed through the completion of the canal, but as to the future improvement of the waterways. "There is no question but that the future action of Congress in dealing with the improvement and canaliza tion of the rivers will be more largely influenced by the extent of the fleet assembled at Lewiston, having made the run through the canal, than any oilier possible thing that could occur." FIrrboat Participation Permitted. It developed from the Teport of the transportation committee that a spe cial train from Portland to The Dalles and Big Eddy on the morning of May B via the O.-W. R. & N". Company, is contemplated, and possibly another via the North Bank to Maryhill and return to Granddalles. Fred A. Ballin Teported that the chief of the Portland lire bureau had signi fied his willingness to allow the fire buats to participate in the Portland celebration. Secretary Kanzler reported that in vitations had been extended to the public schools of Portland through Superintendent Alderman to take part in the parade features and to L. C. Oilman, president of the Great North ern Pacific Steamship Company, re questing the participation of one of the new Hill liners from Flavel. GERMANY IS NOT STRAINED I'ormcr Portland Resident Writes From Glcsscn-Hessc. John Scaton. Deputy United States "Marshal, in charge of the rostoffice building at night, yesterday received a postal card from Rudolph Boeckel, formerly of Portland, who is in Ger many. Mr. Boeckel said that conditions there were not unduly strained in view of the fact that Germany was warring on so large a scale. Mr. Boeckel. who some time ago was injured in a fall from one of the new buildings, left Portland for Germany just a short time before the war broke out and arrived in Germany almost on the eve of the declaration of war against Russia. He Is with his wife and baby, the baby having been one of the first prize winners in the first eugenic show held in Portland. He is at Giessen-Hesse. Germany, with rela tives and said the time was not pro pitious for him to leave there. M0N0L0GUIST TO APPEAR .Bliss Rtitli Irapcr to Give Pro gramme for Drama League.

RAYMOND STAUB IS BETTER FlijskMans Think Oregon Athlete Will Recover Completely. Raymond Staub. the University of Oregon athlete and former track star at Washington High School, who was Injured in an auto crash early Sunday morning at East Twenty-fourth street North and East Flanders street, was reported much improved yesterday. His escape from the wreck with so few serious injuries is viewed as remark able, and physicians report that he will recover without any lasting ill effects so far as his athletic work is concerned. He was bruised badly, however. Young Staub was returning from a party in Rose City Park at the home of a friend, and not from a dance at one of the downtown hotels as had been re ported previously.
