CONTEST OPENS MONDAY
W. I. Woodward to 'Iicad Forces
or Workers Who Will Visit 5000
JProspects and Invite Them
to Join Association.
The annual membership battle be
tween the Portland Y. M. C. A. and the
Seattle organization will start Monday
morning.
Seattle is still suffering from the
defeat administered by the Portland
organization in a similar competition
last year and yesterday the "Y. M.ers"
on the Sound forwarded a challenge
to Portland, which was readily ac
cepted. Saturday at noon the Portland forces
will assemble at the Y. M. C. A. to
plan another campaign. The fighting
brigade will be formed by General
"William F. Woodward, with Charles
T. Wonacott as secretary. Colonel Ed
ward Werlein will command one army
and Colonel O. W. Davidson another.
Kach colonel will be allowed to select
lieutenant-colonels and captains, and
each captain will be placed in charge
of 10 men.
Grand Rally Close Content.
The scrimmage will begin at 10
o'clock Monday morning, when all of
the workers will assemble at the i.
M. C. A. headquarters for final in
structions.
Each man has . been pledged to de
vofe at least two hours each day from
March 27 to April 3. inclusive, to so
licit memberships for the Y. M. C. A.
The contest will close Monday night,
April 3. at 9 o'clock, with a big rally
at the Y. M. C. A. building, when
final reports will be exchanged with
Seattle.
The present competition is part of a
Nation-wide movement to add 1,000.000
members. In Portland the movement
has been carefully planned and the
purvey made yesterday gives the
workers a list of names of more than
5000.
This is the sixth contest in which
Portland and Seattle have engaged for
Y. M. C. A. memberships. Portland has
heretofore won three contests and lost
two. The methods of scoring adopted
this year make it absolutely impossible
for any wealthy admirer of either Y.
M. C. A. to come to the rescue by the
payment of a large sum of money for
memberships at the last moment.
Scoring System Ik Adopted.
In the contest a total of 200 points
Is allowed for each senior membership.
A boy from 18 to 24 is worth 200 points
filso. The reason is that there is hope
of doing something for a boy of that
aire.
The membership of the Portland Y.
M. C. A. is approximately 4000,-1100 of
w hom were put on in last year's con
test, which was the largest number se
cured in any year since the competi
tions began. A mighty effort is go
ing to be made this year to exceed
the record established in 1915.
"The Y. M. C. A. organization is the
greatest manhood factory In the
world, and in this contest the organi
sation should have the enthusiastic
and unanimous support of every inter
r?t in the city of Portland." said Gen
eral William F. Woodward.
Workers Are Assigned.
"As indicative of the work that is
now being don I would like to point
out the one fact that hundreds of
mn can be seen in the Portland Y.
M. C. A. every night of the week en
gaging In studies which range from
reading and writing to technical en
gineering." The list of captains already signed

SHIPS IN DILEMMA
Two Foreign Vessels Wait in
Vain for Sailors.
SEAMEN'S LAW IS CAUSE
Chamber of Commerce Places Dif
ficulty Before Washington Bu
reau, Asking Relief or So-
lution for Problem.
Facing a dilemma in not obtaining
sailors as a. consequence of the string
ent provisions of the new seamen's
law, which prevents advances being
paid sailors on foreign as well as
American vessels, also allotments of
any kind save for the benefit of rela
tives, thereby eliminating the custom
ary source of revenue for those sup
plying sailors, the Chamber of Com
merce yesterday appealed to Secretary
Red field, of the Department of Com
merce, for temporary relief from the
law being enforced.
To place the matter squarely before
him the following telegram was sent:
'"Foreign ship Tridonia held in river
12 days trying get crew. Foreign ship
Holt Hill in stream now waiting for
crew. iso prospect of success. 1 hese
condition due to new seamen's law.
Will you either have fine remitted if
fine necessary against captain in se
curing his crew or suspend application
seamen's law to such vessels until Gov
ernment can either furnish crews or
help work out conditions wherein ships
can get crews promptly under present
conditions? Injury to our commerce
threatens to be very serious and we
have suffered enough from other
causes already. Portland Chamber of
Commerce."
The action was taken when the seri
ousness of the situation was shown by
M. 11. Houser, charterer of the Holt
Hill. She has a grain cargo aboard
for the United Kingdom, having been
anchored in the stream for several
days ready to leave for sea, but short
of men. The law insists that 40 per
cent of the crew must be able seamen,
and 75 per cent of them understand
orders givn by th officers. In com
plying with the first provision they
must be certified after an examination.
"Sailors are bing paid higher wages
in shipping from Portland than has ,
ever been the case, and it is dif f icult
to obtain the rifrht kind of men with-i
out being hampered by the law," said
Shipping Commissioner Jack Grant yes
terday. "Tn spite of the fact advances
are prohibited we are doing all possible
to fill crews and hope to pet 12 ailors
required aboard the Holt Hill in a few
days." I
But with the law continuing in force,
another delay Is lobked for when the i
Norwegian bark Musselcrag, now load
ing, is finished, also the Norwegian '
bark Olive bank, which is loading and
will have the last of her load stowed
away so as to he ready for her crew
early in the week. Following her will
be the British ship Alice A. Leigh and
the French bark Bosauet.
Complaints have been general on
Puget Sound, also at San Francisco, as
to the new law and so far appeals to
Washington have had no effect,
OAKLAXD IS 'HIGH AXD PRY
Stranded Lumber Schooner Is Xot
Breaking l'pf as Reported.
BAT CITY, Or., March 23. (Special.)
The derelict schooner Oakland, which
stranded on Manzanita Beach last night.
Is high and dry at low tide today. Al
though the first reports were that, the
vessel was breaking up, examination
today indicated that there was little
danger to he feared.
Georg Williams, of the Brighton
mill, had taken charge of the lumber
laden craft for her owners, the Fyfe
Lumber Company, of San Francisco, for
which port she was bound from the
Coquille River when abandoned on
Tuesday. Her crew of seven men was
taken off by the steamer Saginaw and
landed at Everett, Waeh.
The three masts of the vessel are
standing and one sail is set. The cabin
in smashed. The deckload is missing.
The cargo consists of Port Arthur rail
rond ties.
The rising tide early today shifted
the position of the stranded schooner
somewhat, and her stern was carried
higher up on'the beach, with the bow
pointed around to sea. Although the
vessel pounded somewhat, she did not
appear in any danger of going to pieces.
The sea was comparatively quiet.

ax to Procedure.
Assessed 22.32 for repairs to the
East Alder-street sewer, the amount
being taxed against Municipal Dock No.
it Kt Washington street, the
Commission of Public Docks refuses to
pay.
At least at yesterday's meeting, at
tended by C. O. Moores, Dan Kellaher
a inhn H BurETard. payment was
halted on the strenuous objections of
Commissioner Kellaher.
"Prnnrtv owners once paid for the

expense of making repairs should have
been ordered taKen irora me scucrm
fund," declared - the memoer irom tne
East Side. "I regard the assessment
as an Illegitimate tax."
If Commissioners Ben, belling ana r.
C. Knapp attend the next meeting there
may be (sufficient strengtn in iavor oi
the assessment to bring about its liqui
dation. It is really paying from one
Docket into another, as the dock prop
erty belongs to the municipality.
Encouragement was given the pro
posal of Mitsui & Co. to open a distrib
uting yard here for Oriental and Aus
tralian lumber, the Commission agree
ing to assign the company 25,000 square
feet of space to the rear of Dock No.

square feet at $200.
It was shown that Portland Is the
second largest furniture manufactur

Rapids being first, and it was pointed
out that the opening of a hardwood
yard, with various kinds-of materia!
carried, would lead to the location of

Following a delay of a few weeks,
a telegram was received from the War
Department yesterday by Major Jewett,

When the Government inaugurated
the plan of leasing fishing privileges
there in 1905, three-year terms were
the rule, but later a bill was intro
duced in Congress to transfer the is
land to the State of Oregon. That
failed, and at the present session an
other has been considered for the
revenue from the leases to be turned
over the state. There are five sites
and a few years -ago the leasing period
was lowered to one year. Authority
received yesterday also provides for
three-year leases again.
'Wapama Is Loaded Rapidly.
Clark & Wilson's mill yesterday
morning was the scene of "bustle in

Physicians cannot even beeln the treat
ment of a disease without knowing what
causes give rise to it, and we must remem
ber that headache is to be treated accord
ing to the same rule. We must not only be
particular to give a remedy Intended to
counteract the cause which produces the
headache, but we must also give a remedv
to relieve the pain until the cause of the
trouble has been removed. To answer this
purpose, antl-kamnla tablets will be found
a most convenient and satisfactory remedy.
One tablet every one to three hours gives
comfort and rest In the most severe cases
of headache, neuralgia and particularly the
headaches of women."
When we have a patient subject to regular
attacks of sick headache, we should caution
him to keep his bowels regular, for which
nothing is better than "Actolds," and when
he feels the least sign of an oncoming at
tack, he should take two A-K Tablets. Such
patients should always be Instructed to
carry a few antl-kamnta tablets, so as to
have them-ready for instant use. These
tablets are prompt in action and can be
depended on to produce relief in verr
few minutes. Ask for A-K Tablets.
Antl-kamnla tablets at all druggists.
