THE 3IORXIXG- OKEGONTAN, TUTHISTJAT. MARCH 29, 1917. 18 LUMBERMEN WANT PROBE BY CONGRESS Chamberlain and McArthur Requested to Have Alaskan Purchases Investigated. OREGON DEMANDS JUSTICE West Coast Association to Meet Here Saturday, but May Not Con- cern Itself In Quarrel Between Members. A Congressional investigation, of the methods employed by the Alaskan En gineering Commission. In awarding contracts for supplies Is demanded by the lumber manufacturers of Portland and the Willamette Valley. Telegraphio requests to that effect were sent yesterday to Senator Cham berlain and Representative McArthur at Washington. The telegram was signed by H. B. Van. Duzer, C. E. Dant and Jay S. Hamilton, constituting a committee appointed at a special meeting of local lumbermen at the Portland Hotel last Friday night. The full text of the message follows: "At a meeting of 75 lumber manu facturers held In Portland last Friday the undersigned were apointed a com mittee to make further representations In the matter of the purchase of lum ber by the Alaskan Engineering Com mission. "Those present represented the en tire state and they were of one ac cord. In declaring that a rank Injustice had been done Portland and Oregon In the rejection of the bid recently made by Dant & Russell for 12.000.000 feet of lumber for use on the Alaska rail road. Investigation Is Demanded. "The meeting unanimously went on record in authorizing this committee to ask our representatives at Wash ington to demand a Congressional in vestigation of lumber purchased by the Alaskan Engineering Commission, feel ing that this Is the only way that Jus tice can be secured by the Columbia and Willamette River shippers." The local lumbermen are deeply stirred over the rejection of the Dant & Russell bid. for they realize -that It was done at the behest of -the Seattle manufacturers, who want to monopo lize the Alaskan business. Dant & Russell report that they could have had the Government con tract had they agreed to ouy men lumber In Seattle. But as they are a Tortland firm they preferred to lose the contract. They had arranged to buy most of their lumber from the Inman-Poulson mill In Portland. The action of the commission was so offensive to the local manufac turers that they" held a meeting last Friday, at which they advanced serious protest against the commissions methods of procedure. The situation may possibly recel ve discussion at the meeting of the West Coast Lumber Association in Portland on Friday afternoon. Quarrel May Not Be Touched. This association is composed of lum bermen In all the Pacific Coast states and handles business of general In terest to the trade In this territory. However, it probably will not concern -itv. Bi.blBct that threatens to develop Into a quarrel between two groups of association meinuu.o. The Willamette Valley Lumbermen s Association also will hold a resl meeting in Portland tomorrow. The sessions will begin In the association headquarters in the Gerllnger build ing at 10 A M As most members of this association also are members of the West Coast association, it is intended, to finish the business so that all can attend the West Coast meet f . ..... in the afternoon. inpa . mn.nllfn.C- In any event mo , -r.o. not to give up their fight for better treatment at the hands of the Government commission. i-o- a cents a 1000 feet mor t ship the lumber from the SoTumbit River' to Alaska than from . , a.

EXCHANGE PROTECTS SHIPS Request by Navy Department to Re tain News of Trans-Atlantic Fleet, TtiotttijiMoti relative to vessels and cargo destined for trans-Atlantic ports will not be given out hereafter by the Merchants' Exchange, that association having received a personal request yes ifiv from Joseohus Daniels, Secre tary of the Navy, that all such data be withheld. Secretary Daniels ex plained that the move was to give shipping tne maximum Shipping men are In somewhat of a quandary as to how to treat all Gov ernment restrictions on maritime news. For a time the Marconi wireless sys tem withheld the dally reports on ves sels, though now the service is being furnished again. As to coastwise movements of vessels, steamship lines rnntlnue to advertise sailing dates, so it is viewed as certain the Government has no reason at present to nupiiress information having to do with the do rv.atin fleet in the Pacific. However, the opinion Is general that all news as to vessels will De curtaiteq snoruy. GROWERS TO EXPAND CROPS River Fleets Probably Will Carry More Produce This Season. While city folk are being urged by Federal, state and municipal autnori ties . to plant backyard gardens on the assumption that all kinds of truck will be a necessity this season, Drake C. O'Reilly, head of the Regulator line, says there is no question but that growers along the middle and upper river will Increase acreage for many crops, and that more garden products will be harvested than before. The company has added the steamer State of Washington to the fleet, and she leaves here every night, except Sunday, for The Dalles. The steamer Dalles City continues on the day scbed ule. leaving each end of the run three . times a week. Diking Rushed at la Du. KELSO, Wash, March 28. (Special.)

RAIN FORECAST FOR TODAY Rlvermen Interested in Probability of High Water on Willamette and Columbia so Tahoma Salving Can Proceed. Southeast storm warnings went up at all ports o.n the North Paclflo Coast at 6 o'clock last night, and a blow from that quarter increased from 48 miles an hour at 5 o'clock to 70 miles an hour at 6 o'clock. North Head reported a rapid decrease of pressure at the lat ter hour. The Weather Bureau report last night set forth that there was a marked disturbance at the entrance to the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The fore cast for today along the North Paclflo Coast Is rain with moderate to strong outhwesterly winds. Rlvermen are particularly concerned here as- to the probabilities of ..the southerly storm providing more water on the upper reaches of both the Wil lamette and Columbia, Low water on the Middle Columbia has caused sal vage operations to be suspended at the cene of the sink ng of the steamer Tahoma, which struck Dalles City Rock more than a week ago and is hanging there. Barges have been used in try ing to raise her, but It was decided yesterday to discontinue efforts until the river rose. To attempt to haul the teamer clear of the rock now. It Is said, might materially damage the hull. Advices to The Dalles-Columbia line officials yesterday were that the stage above The Dalles was Improved, so the steamer Twin Cities, which has been on the Tahoma's run to The Dalles, has been ordered to load for the upper river, sailing tomorrow. She came In last night from the middle-river run. The steamer J. N. Teal, of the same line, which struck a. rock and damaged her hull a few days ago near Irrigon, Or, was hauled out at Supple's yard yesterday afternoon for repairs. She may be floated again tonight.
