TIIE MORNING OREGOyiAN, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1916. POSITION UN RATES WILL BE OUTLINED J. N. Teal and J. H. Lothrop to Speak at Chamber Gather ing at Noon Tomorrow.' NEW DECISION IS DISLIKED Ianger to Portland Seen in Attitude of Interstate Commerce Com mission, bnt Effort "Will Be Made to Change Theory. Portland's future attitude in the ter minal rate situation probably will be outlined at a meeting: of the executive committee of the transportation bureau at noon tomorrow. J. N. Teal, traffic attorney of the Chamber, and J. H. Lothrop. traffic manager, expect at that time to present an informal analysis of the Interstate Commerce Commission's recent decision In the Astoria rate case. The full text of the decision as printed In The Oregonian has been studied carefully by both Mr. Teal and Mr. Lothrap as well as by shippers, merchants and others who are inter ested in rates and their effects upon the commerce of the city. Speaking frankly, few Portland men who know anything about rates see a great deal of encouragement for Port land in the Commission's decision. They believe, however, that Portland's hope lies in possible discovery of error fn the Commission's assumptions through which it reached Its conclusions. Error Is Asserted. . In one particular, it is pointed out, the Commission probably was in error, and that was in proclaiming the theory that the rates to Puget Sound were fixed by the rate to Portland. Now this is true in some cases, but not in all cases. Quite as frequently the rate to Portland is fixed by the Puget Sound rate. , The Commission, by its decision, has sought to make the Puget. Sound rate the basis for both the Portland and the Astoria rate. This is quite contrary to the conten tions that Portland people constantly have put forward that Portland Is entitled to full recognition of its superior natural advantages, which ad-H vantages are apparent wnen compared with those of Puget Sound as well as when compared with those of Astoria. The advantage over Puget Sound lies 1b Portland's position at the foot of a watergrade haul from the entire In terior country; over Astoria in being 100 miles nearer. It Is on this ground, doubtless, that the Chamber of Commerce or the ship pers of Portland if they are the ones to make the complaint will take their aura before the Commission. ' Attitude Declared Unfair. It will be pointed out that the Com mission's recent decision virtually makes Portland an inlanf city, with out giving her the advantage of her inland position. This decision, it is said, is contrary te all the previous rulings of the Com mission. In California, Sacramento, which is nearer the ocean than Port land, has lower rates from the interior than San Francisco.. Complaint also will be made against the Commission's action in virtually making Portland a party to the Asto ria case, when, in fact. Portland was neither a complainant nor a defendant, and did not even appear as an inter vener. Some students of the situation be lieve that Portland will be able to make a showing before the Commis sion strong enough to Induce the Com mission to set aside that part of its order in the Astoria case that applies to Portland. If this procedure is not followed, it is probable a separate action will be brought asking for a reduction over both the Astoria and the Puget Sound rates. PTJGET SOCXD MAY BENEFIT Belief Expressed Astoria Will Not Get All Portland's Water Ixsses. It is now proposed that the Port of Portland Commission provide free towage and pilotage between Portland and Astoria as a means of offsetting the disadvantage this port is expected to be placed in as a consequence of the Astoria rate decision as rendered by the Interstate Commerce Commis sion. ' That is talked among some shippers to eliminate a differential that it is reasoned Portland will be encumbered with. A continuation of the existing sibnormal grain frelshts, feverish quest for tonnage with which to move grain -aid lumber, and a situation never be lore, experienced, may defer inflicting the blow fo Portland. But with a re sumption of normal conditions it is predicted this city will have to "face maritime losses unless the movement proposed to obtain lower rates for the oity is successful and terminated with out a prolonged contest. The disposition of most shippers Is to watch and wait, arguing 'that the future Is complicated as to a real test of the new ruling. At that. It seems to be the general impression that if vessel owners, when new crop charter ing Is opened, insist on cargoes being delivered at Astoria or Puget Sound points, expenses Incurred in moving whips between Portland and Astoria must be met by the charter or the Port of Portland, unless the easiest way out of the dilemma Is to accept vessels with the proviso that they be loaded on Puget Sound. At least the outlook Is so indefinite that it is hardly expected cereal ex porters will rush to Astoria and dupli cate docks and warehouses that now house their shipments here, while there is any reason to look for Portland ob taining a lower rate than Astoria. It is viewed as more simple for grain to be routed from the interior to Puget Sound, where there Is no prospect of a change in rates or routing, unless it might be of a more favorable character than at present. Differentials have been shouldered in the past, and It may fall to the lot of OSTEOPATHIC PHYSICIANS I Members Portland Osteopathic Assn. Barrett, Dr. H. Lester, 41 Morgan Bldg. Phone Main 429.

In the main, it is forecasted, by shippers that Portland's losses .will .benefit . Puget Sound, not Astoria:, though the latter, in the opin ion of some, is to be placed in a better position as to salmon and lumber busi ness than fci the past. TACQMA ' IS . READY TO , FIGHT Proposed Move for Ijower Rates by .? Portland Not Approved. TAC01IA, Waeb- Feb. 21. (Special.) Tacoma. shlDDors are to light any at tempt of tho Portland Chamber of Commerce to prpcure lower., freight rates to Inland 'Empire points than those enjoysd by this city ard other centers on Puget Sound, according to unofficial information. Jay W. McCune, secretary of the transportation bureau of the Tacoma Commercial Club, refused to discuss the situation today. He said that nothing definite had been done as yet. Shippers who do a large business in the Inland Empire heard with disfavor the news that Portland might try to gain a,n advantage bo as to cut into tneir traae territory. iney say mat they do not worry over Astoria's posi tion, but Portland's effort in this direc tion would be met by stubborn resist ance. . - ROBBERS GET 10 YEARS X. S. BERRY AXD B. K. FERGUSON ARE SENTENCED. Jodse Imposes Minimum . Penalty? on Tooths Who Confessed Holding , Up 27 Jap Farmers. Nicholas S. Berry and Bert E. Fergu son, aged 18 and 19 years, respectively, were sentenced to 10 years imprison ment in the State Penitentiary yester day. These young men, according to their own confessions, held up 27 Japanese farmers In eight (separate robberies during January and February and were under parole at the time for the theft of a motorcycle from C O. Windle in August of 1915. The authorities be lieve them to be incorrigible. Circuit Judge Phelps, of Pendleton, who is sitting for Circuit Judge Kava naugh, who is ill, pronounced the sen tence. Ten years was the minimum he could impose under the charge to which the young men pleaded guilty, which was assault with a dangerous weapon and robbery. They were indict ed February 17. Berry has a wife and child, who will be cared for by the county diring her husband's imprisonment. They live at 5604 East Thirty-second avenue South east. The youngster is only six weeks old. "It's a heavy sentence, but the boys have given a great deal of trouble," commented Deputy District Attorney Collier. "Still, it would be a good thing if the Legislature would not specify the minimum sentence in such crimes, leaving it to the discretion of the Judge. The maximum alone should be fixed." . GITY WILL LEND A HAND PARENT-TEACHERS WIN AID IN LO CATING IDLE ON LOTS. Mr, Baker Promises Co-operation Even In Providing Loans of Neces sary Seeds. Co-operation between the Parent Teachers' Association and the city in assisting poor families in raising gar dens on vacant lots was arranged yes terday at a conference of a committee of the teachers' association and City Commissioner Baker. The plan is to have owners of vacant lots grant permission to poor families to make gardens on the lots without paying rental. Where the family is unable to buy seed, the association will furnish the seed with the under standing that it will be repaid when the crop is harvested. Last Summer much was done along this line- and many families grew enough potatoes to last them all Winter. , T Commissioner Baker agreed to assist in every way in getting seed so that no family need fail to take up the gar den plan because of inability to buy seed. If necessary Mr. Baker says he will ask fhe City Council to help to the extent of appropriating money to buy seed. Letters will be written to the Oregon delegation in Congress asking that ef forts be made to obtain a quantity of seed of various kinds from the Depart ment of Agriculture.

The vitality and energy that accom- nnnles a. reKular activity of the intes tinal organs is known and desired by every person who suffers from consti pation especially in a chronic form. "The taking of petroleum or parartine oil for the lubrication or tne Doweia or,rl intestinal tract has proven most beneficial particularly in cases of long standing and of the most stubuorn na ture. The principle of such remedies is a new one. The petroleum -or paraffine. taken in the ordinary way, lubricates the bowels and softens all matter which has become hardened and caused stonnaee in the passage. The action which necessarily follows as the result of the softening and lubricating proc ess is entirely mechanical, gentle and natural. This liauid petroleum or paraffine is sold under the name 'of Ameroil. It the highest possible refined pure mineral oil. It is odorless, tasteless and colorless, and agreeable to take. Ameroil is not a medicine in the true sense of the word. It is not absorbed into the system, nor does it act as a stimulant. There are no disagreeable after effects. It has been used in many cases' with great benefit. Ameroil Is sold at all the Owl Stores in pint bot tles at SOc.
