Get OTHER MATTERS COME UP Separation of Oregon From Califor nia In New Supervising District I Opposed Harbor Exten sion Committee Named. Fathered by Captain E. W. Spencer, who took th old railroad ferry Kalania on her trial trip ii years ago, a resolu tion was adopted by the Port of Port land Commission yesterday, urging Congress to consider seriously the se lection of the Columbia River as a naval base. In extolling the advan tages of the stream in that regard, the fact the ferry Kalama nas noi dr clocked since her construction and is in a good state of preservation to day was dwelt upon. The Port went on record in me mai ter of division of the first supervising district of tho United States Steamboat I...n.w-tlnn Service. A bill before Con- f-r... nrnviiiea that the district, which embraces all waters and rivers west of the Itockv Mountains, the Hawaiian is liind and Alaska, be divided so Cali fornia and the Hawaiian group will be in one district and Oregon. Washington, Idaho and Alaska in anoher. I'ortlanders aro against Oregon oc- Ing separated from California, as It would mean the headquarters ot this district would be at Seattle. 11 is argued that Portland has no direct con nection with Puget sound in a navisi tion way. while it has at San Francisco through tho fact Its coastwise business Is largely with that state. The con trol of steamship llnea plying here is held at San Francisco, and in other ways the preference is for Oregon to be included with California and tho Ha waiian.

RUSSIAN KEYSTONE BROKEN irontlnued From Klrat Page.) and nrlsoners. with a loss to them selves of less than half that amount. The Germans, who rushed on with the idea that the road lo Moscow lay open. ran into the rear guards, and at every ronlact the Russians, regardless ot orders, broke loose and landed blow fter blow on the Germans and Aus- rians. The third army, standing pn the ill- fated line of the Dunajec, was practi cally wiped out. and its disaster was responsible for the whole retreat. The next army, the eighth, commanded by the dashing cavalry officer, Brus sllov, that never before had been ob liged to retire, was caught half way through the passes of the Carpathians, and In the disaster of its northern neighbor its right flank was exposed and badly crumbled. By extending its front to the north and pulling together at Przemysl it was able to check the momentum of tho onrushing Germans on the San. The central powers declared the San battle was a pitched one and that the following ones on the old Grodek line and around Lwow were great victories. The facts of the case were, accord ing to the highest commander in Ga llcla. that from the first day's fighting on the San it was decided by the Rus sians practically to give up Gallcla for the moment. Th Germans and Au strian were receiving reinforcements hourly, and a definite stand at any point meant a combat under conditions favorable to the Germans and an in vitation to them to deliver a crushing blow. The want of ammunition had now become acute and certain Russian bat teries on the San at that time had less than 20 rounds of ammunition for each gun. Prxemysl was not in a state of defense aa repairs on the works de stroyed by th Austrians before the surrender to tho Russians In March had not been completed. Holding Prxemysl was like trying to hold a ruin, and when the Germans be gan to bring up tneir neavy gun, mc holding of th fortress was not. even considered by tho Russian comman ders. Heavy reinforcements were not vallable to the Muscovites, wnue inc whole railroad system of Germany was working overtime that tne uancian drive might not falter. Teuton Relnforeemeats Kuanea in. One In Germany at this time said that for day the railroad lines oi Eastern Germany were flooded with troops moving eastward and wounded coming back from tiancia. inn li nes said that for the three consecu tive days in which he had opportunity to make observations, a double-headed train nassed eastward every 15 min utes loaded to th roof with troops and munitions. The Russian information prougnnne same news. II waa sounu. iiouc? the Russians to withdraw, fighting a rear guard action and inflicting heavy loss on the enemy without exposing their army to a crushing defeat. The Dunn lee drive was th nesul of the enormous concentration of artillery. Neither on the San nor at any oiner nolo, tfi Id t he Germans have the oppor tunity to bring up any such mass of guns. As soon as their concentrations were begun, tho Russians retired. The balance would come sooner or later, when the lengthened German lines and aha shortened Russian communications would adjust th scales and bring the wholo line to a standstill. Thug it was that the Russians held Prxemysl and the San line for a while and took a large toll from th enemy, and Just as they were in a position to be rushed, evacuated It. only to make a second stand on the so-called GrodeK line, the scene of tho Austrian defeat ot the preceding September campaign. When the Germans had massed their formations and artillery for a crushing blow on this line the Russians fell back on Lwow and after repeating their tactics before the Galician capital again retired to the Krasne line, where they remained for several months, hav ing safely escaped the main German blow. oti.OOO Prisoner Taken oa Retreat, In the meantime there had been two other armies to the east engaged In this movement. The 11th army retired from Its advanced Carpathian position, from which It was threatening the Hungarian plain, to the Dniester River. . then to tne Gnua i-ippa position ana I later to th Ztota Lippa and a little further east to what is approximately its present position. This arrjjy was widely advertised as a ruined and routed organization. The commander told me himself that in the six weeks of his retreat his army had taken more than 56,000 prisoners, not to speak of the losses it inflicted in killed and wounded. That he lost heav ily in stragglers and casualties of his own is probably true, but the loss he Inflicted was without doubt greater than his own. The army to the east was the ninth army. I spent a week fh this army during the last days of the retreat. Kvery man I talked with denied this army had .been defeated locally and every officer I talked to said em phatically that it could advance any day against its own immediate enemy but for the orders. It was forced to retreat to keep in touch with the eleventh, which re treated to keep in touch with the eighth, the flank of which had been exposed by the destruction of the third army, which was the keystone of the whole line. The records show the seventh army advanced daily in the Bukowina thea ter of operations for eight or ten days after the Germans were driving through In Western Gallcla. LUMBERMEN PLAN LINE SHIPS FROM PORTLAND TO NEW ORLEANS VIA CANAL PROPOSED. Project la to Send Lumber South and lad Pennsylvania Coal as Re turn Voyage Cargo. Some of the lumber manufacturers here in Portland and other shippers are negotiating with a view to starting an independent steamship line between Portland and New Orleans, following the reopening of the Panama Canal. The plan is to carry lumber from Portland to New Orleans and to carry coal from New Orleans to Portland. C Minsmger, president of the Star Sand Company, who is active in the negotiations, has just returned from New Orleans, where he conferred with lumber dealer who expect to be in the market soon for Douglas' fir and other Northwestern lumber products. AU preliminary arrangements now in progress are based on the reopening of the Panama Canal and the avail ability of ocean-going vessels follow ing the close of the war. No operation are contemplated before those two con tingencies are met. Mr. Minsingcr reports that the south ern lumber dealers will be in positio to use large quantities of Northwester fir despite the readiness with whic they can secure Southern pine. By op erating through the canal the North western manufacturers, he believes, can lay down their products in New Orleans almost as cheaply as can th Southern pine manufacturers. Th superior grade of the local product, is estimated, soon will win for it preference in the southern markets. The other important factor in the present negotiations is the cargo for the westbound movement. This cargo, according to the plans, is to be coa Coal can be handled from New Or leans to Portland, it is figured, at rate of $5.50 a ton. It is shipped into New Orleans from the Pennsylvania and West Virginia fields by water at a low rate. Most of it is floated dow the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers on barges. Mr. Minsinger estimates that a saving of from to to t a ton can be effected In the price of Pennsylvani coal delivered in Portland. Several Portland lumber manufac turers, it is understood, are eager Join in the enterprise. Marconi Wireless Kcports. (All positions reported at 8 P. M.

SHOE PRICES JUMP Dealer Tells of Scarcity Leather Existing. iit ALLIES ARE HEAVY BUYERS Will A. Knight Says Dealers Will Try to Make Up Lack ot Qual ity by Giving Extra Smart ness and Comfort. Along with other necessities, shoes are rapidly becoming more costly, and nothing in the long list of things one must have is aeroplaning faster than footwear. After six weeks spent in the East, Will A. Knight, president of the Knight Shoe - Company. Drought back the report yesterday that shoes will be even more expensive, with more style but less service. ' "They will be more comfortable, however." said Mr. Knight. "The re tailers whose conventions I attended while away have decided not to talk any more about wearing qualities in a shoe. "White high shoes for women is tho one best bet and they are expensive, ranging in price from $7.50 to $25 a, pair. White kid skins that sold fiv; or six months ago for from 18 to 22 cents a foot now cost from 70 to 75 cents. They are tho prevailing fad. in the East. Vv'omen are spending $1 for a hat and $10 for a pair of shoe. "Of course, under these circum stances a man is lucky' to get shoes at all. For him there is no marked change in styles. English shapes with a flat last and with a somewhat out side swing are in fashion. "All along the line there is increased cost. Even shoe strings have advanced 100 per cent. Insoles now cost mora than the inner and outer -soles and the filler all put together did a short time ago. "Leather is up and there is a scarcity- in this country. Last year we shipped leather to the value of over $30,000,000 to the allies and there is no letup of this movement in sight. "As a result there has been an ear nest effort to get a substitute for leather to be used in shoe-making and particularly for the sole, which is the essential p.irt of the shoe. Rubber compositions for shoe soles and syn thetic patent substances are now be ing put out for which much is claimed and which may replace leather to a large extent for soles. "Everywhere I went in the East I found the fame of the Columbia River Highway had preceded me. Thoy know about our scenic drive and many will come out here to see it. "Everywhere I went east of Penvrr. also. I found remarkable prosperity prevailing. New York hotels aro crowded and money is plentiful. Ko tail stores are busy and enormou-t orders are the rule. Retailors aro willing to pay any price to the fac tories to get shoes but they are dif ficult to procure, although the facto ries are working overtime." On his trip Mr. Knight visited Chi cago. Detroit. New York. Philadelphia Boston. Rochester, Syracuse. Cincin nati, Pes Moines Denver and other Eastern centers. MARINE INTELLIGENCE. Steamer Schedule. DUE TO ARRIVE. Name.
