Crawford, of the Lumbermen's Bank of Portland, on "The Kvolution of Bank Credits." and In this connection he spoke of the jrood work that has been done hy the bankers of Oregon in conjunction with the agricultural college and State Superintendent of Instruction in aiding the boys and girls of Oregon to go Into the raisins of pigs. The banks have taken tho notes of the children on six months' time and at 6 per cent interest for tho purchase of sows. If. K. Pennell, of the St. Johns Lum ber Comnanv. and who Is also con nected with the Seaboard Bank of Portland, read a paper on the import ance, of developing the waterways of Oregon in conjunction with the build ing and operating of sea-going shins. He referred to the failure thus far successfully to operate a line connect ing Portland with Alaskan ports, but .said the difficulty had been on account of using chartered vessels. He said.: Look Into I-'uturr Taken. "Fertsonally I sincerely hope that In the near future a goodly-slued fleet of American merchant ships, built, owned and operated in and from the State of Oregon will be hailing from Portland as their home port. "Much has been written and said re garding the need, for the habilitation of the merchant marine of the United Htates and the sad condition prevailing in Kurope at this time has forced on us more than ever before, the realiza tion of what an able merchant marine really means to a productive country like ours. "Our own ships would carry direct personal representation through the ru'aster and ship's company, and in my opinion it is this personal contact which develops and makes lasting the trade so essential to our commercial existence. !w Found Wealth la Just. "Wealth brought home through the medium of over-sea transportation is new found wealth, earned from the treasuries of others to become the means of our own development at the just and legitimate expense of those w iiuui W? OCX w. 11. B. Miller,' head of the school of commerce of the State University, spoke in the afternoon on The Rela tion of the University to the State." A I.

Among other things he aJd that today the Western branch, located at San Francisco, had a total of 35. 000,000 for loan purposes. He reiterated that the system had wiped out all chance of panics in the future for the United States. "I have no specific or concrete sug gestion to offer at this time other than to say I do most earnestly hope our banking institutions will make a care ful Btudy of over-sea transportation and. realizing the benefits to our state to accrue from building and owning our own ships, will use their influence with our capitalists to encourage the building and support of locally owned oversea tonnage in order that our pro ducers and traders may have ready access to their markets and our state and its cities may develop and grow from the earnings of this most legiti mate of commercial undertakings." At tho morning session officers were elected as follows: Chairman, Leroy D. Walker, of Kstacada; vice-chairman, S. 1 Barrett, of Newberg; secretary, E.

GERMAN ATTACK FURIOUS (Continued From Flrt Page.) at different points, but it is certain that at one time the enemy's infantry poured through along the Poelcapelle road and even got as far as Wieltje at 9 P. M. "There was also a considerable gap in our front about Frezenberg, where hostile detachments had penetrated. At both points counter attacks were organizd without delay. To the east of he salient tho Germans first were driven back to Fresenberg, but there they made a firm stand and under pres sure of fresh reinforcements wo fell back again towards Verlorenhoek.

"So the fight surged to and fro throughout the night. All around the scene of conflict the sky was lit up by the flashes of the guns and the light of blazing villages and farms, while against this background of smoke and flame, looking out 'n the murky light over the crumbling ruins of the old town, rose the battered wreck of the cathedral tower and the spires of Cloth Hall. "When Sunday dawned there came a short respite and the firing for a time died down. The comparative lull en abled us to re-organize and consolidate our position on tho line we had taken up and to obtain some rest after the fatigue and strain of the fight. It did not last long, however, and in the after noon the climax of the battle was reached, for, under tho cover of in tense artillery firing, the Germans launched no fewer than five separate assaults against the east of the salient. Drmiente Attack. Repulsed. "To the north and northeast their attacks were not at first presseed so hard as on the Bouth of the Menin road, where the fighting was especially fierce. In the latter direction masses of infantry were hurled On with abso lute desperation and were beaten off with corresponding slaughter. "At one point, north of the town, 500 of the enemy advanced from the wood, and it is affirmed by thisep resent that not a single man of them escaped. "On the eastern face, at 6:30 P. M. an endeavor was made to storm the grounds of the Chateau Hooge, a little north of the Menin road, but the force attempting it broke and fell back under the hail of ehrapnel poured upon them by our guns. It was on this side, where they had to face the concen trated fire of guns, maxims and rifles again and again in their efforts to break their way through, that . the Germans incurred their heaviest losses and the ground was literally heaped with dead. "They evidently for the time being, at least, were unable to renew their efforts and as night came on the fury of their offensive gradually slackened, the hours of darkness passing- in quietness. Foe Accnxed of Robbing; Dead. "During the day our trops saw some of the enemy busily employed in strip ping the British dead in our abandoned trenches east of the Hooge Chateau, and several Germans afterward were noticed dressed in khaki. "So far as the Tpres region was concerned, this for us was a most suc cessful day. Our line, which on the northeast of the salient had after the previous day's fighting been reconsti tuted a short distance behind the orig inal front, remained intact. Our losses wero comparatively slight, and owing to tho targets presented by the enemy, the action resolved itself on our part into pure killing. "Tho reason for this determied ef fort to crush our left on the part of tho Germans Is not far to seek. It is probable that for some days previously they had been in possession of informa tion which led them to suppose that we Intended to apply pressure on the right of our line and their great at tack on Ypres on the 7th, 8th and 9th was undertaken with a view to divert ing us from our purpose. German Strategry Commended. "In this they eGrmans were true to their principles, for they rightly hold that the best manner of meeting an expected hostile offensive is to fore stall it by attacking in some other quarter. In this instance their leaders acted with the utmost determination and energy and their soldiers fought with the greatest courage. "The failure of their effort was due to the splendid endurance of our troops. who held the line around the salient under a fire which again and again blotted out whole lengths of the de fenses and killed the defenders by the scores. Time after time along those parts of the front selected for assault were parapets destroyed, and time after time did the thinning band of survivors build them up again and await the next onset as steadily as before. "Here, in May. in defense of the same historic town, have our incomparaole infantry repeated the great deeds their comrades performed half a year ago and beaten back the most desperate onslaughts of hostile hordes, backed by terrific artillery support. "Tho services rendered by our troops In this quarter cannot at present be estimated, for their full significance will only be realized in the light of future events. But so far their devo tion has indirectly contributed in no small measure to the striking success already achieved by our allies. French Busy SO Miles Away. "Farther south in the meantime, on Sunday, another struggle had been in progress on that portion of the front covered by the right of our Una and the left of French, for when the firing around Ypres was temporarily subsid ing during tho early hours of the morn ing, another and even more tremendous cannonade was suddenly started by t"ha artillery of the allies some 20 miles to the south. "The morning was calm, bright and clear, and opposite our right as the sun rose, the scene in front of our line was the most peaceful Imaginable. Away to the right of Cuinchy, with Us brick flelai, are tbo ruin of Qlvenchy, GUESTS OF HONOR AT AD CLUB To the north of them law low ground, where, hidden by trees and hedge rows, ran the opposing lines that were about to become the scene of the conflict, and beyond. In the distance, rost the long ridge of Aubers, the villages crowning it standing out clear cut against the sky. "At S o'clock the bombardment began slowly at first, and then .growing in volume until the whole air quivered with the rush of the larger shells and the earth aehook with the concussion of guns. In a few minutes the whole dis tant landscape disappeared In smoke and dust, which hung for a while In the still air and then drifted slowly across the line of battle. Fighting la Haud-to-Hand. "Shortly before 6 o'clock our In fantry advanced along our front be tween the Bois Grenier and Festubert. On the left north of Fromelles, we storme dthe German line trenches. Hand-to-hand fighting went on for some time with bayonet, right and hand grenade, but we continued to hold on to this position throughout the day and caused the enemy heavy lose, for not only were many Germans killed in the bombardment, but their repeated efforts to drive us from the captured position proved most costly. "On the right, to the north of Festu bert, our advance met with consider able opposition and was not pressed. "Meanwhile tho French, after a pro longed bombardment, had taken the German positions north of Arras on a front of nearly five miles and had pushed forward from two to three miles, capturing 2000 prisoners and six guns. This remarkable success was gained by our allies in the course of a few hours." GERMAN SHOPS WRECKED (Continued From First Tgr. lower classes of the population.

R. & N. Boats Are Not Divorced From Railway. PRACTICAL SIDE VIEWED Commerce Commission Says Compe tition "With Land Routes Is Nom inal, and Water Lines Are Positive Convenience. ORLGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, May 12. The Interstate Com merce Commission today authorized the Oregon-Washington Railroad & Navi gation Company to continue the opera tion of five steamboats between Port land and Astoria and Megler, Wash.; to continue the operation of Its one steamer on Lake Coeur d'Alene between Am waco, Wash., and Harrison, Idaho, and to continue tne operation or two steam boats on the Snake Kiver from Riparia to the head of navigation. Strictly speaking, these steamships compete to some extent with the railroads which own them, but the Commission finds that this competition is slight, and from a practical standpoint it believes their continued operation by the railroad will not constitute a serious breach of the Panama Canal act. As to the steamers plying between Portland and Astoria and Megler, the Commission finds that practically none of their freight and passenger traffic is in competition with the O.-W. R, & N. Company's rail lines, and what compe tition there is between Portland and Kalama and CarrolLs is Inconsequential. Moreover, the principal service of these steamers is between Portland and As toria. Interested shippers asked that the railroad be permitted to continue the operation of the steamers. The Commission finds that the steamer operating on Lake Coeur d'Alene is a connecting link in tho rail and water route from Spokane to Wallace. Idaho, this route being 36 miles shorter than the all-rail route. Testimony showed that 66,000 passengers used this steamer last year, and that except during the months when the lake Is frozen prac tically all the passenger traffic be tween the two cities goes by way of the lake. Fare over the all-rail route and the rail-and-water route are the same. The two steamers on the Snake River. the Commission finds, are engaged chiefly in hauling wheat and wool from the south bank of the river, from points that cannot readily set their products to the railroad on the north bank. The Commission could find no practical rea son for divorcing these lines. CASE XOT LIKE NORTH BANK Element of Direct Competition Found in One, Not In Other. When the O.-W. R. & N. Co. applied to the Interstate Commerce Commis sion for relief from the order prohibit ing railroads from operating steam, ship lines it pointed out that the steam ship lines in question are not active competitors of the company's rail lines. One of these lines operates between Portland and Astoria and other ports at the mouth of the Columbia River. The steamers Harvest Queen, T. J. Potter and Hassalo are in this serv ice. With the exception of about 40 miles cf track between Portland and Kalama. Wash., this steamship line does not compete with any of the com pany's rail lines. Another steamship line operates be tween Riparia, Wash., and Lewiston, Idaho, on the Snake River. While the company has a rail line on the north bank of the Snake, this steamship line calls only on the south bank. It op erates as a feeder for the rail line and provides the territory on the south bank of the stream with its only transportation service. Obviously the commission recognized the company's contention that this service does not compete with the rail line. The third unit operates across Lake Coeur d'Alene In Idaho. The conditions in this case were dis similar to those governing the case of the North Bank railroad, which recent ly was decided against the company. The North Bank operated the steamers Bailey Gatzert and Dalles City on the Columbia River parallel to its rail line. The commission ordered the company to discontinue this service and the vessels recently were sold. Rails Laid From Coos Bay. MARSH FIELD, Or., May 12. (Spe cial.) The Willamette-Pacific is lay ing steel north from Coos Bay toward Lakeside. More rails are being shipped here from Eugene via Portland and steamships.
