Engi neers, Presents Results of Ex- Iiaustlvn Study of Kail and Water Transportation. Points in -which some other Pacific Coast harbors excel Portland and the Columbia River by virtue of the stores nature has collected still leave this region : 3 leader In being the gateway of the most vast Inland territory trained by a mighty stream in the West. Delegates to the fourth annual convention of the Pacific Coast Asso ciation of Port Authorities found force ful evidence of ;that in a. trip along the Columbia Highway yesterday aft ernoon, as guests of the Portland Com mission of Public Docks. The Journey evime after a morning session replete With information rela tive to the Inland Empire, competition between railroad and water lines, the development of vast unoccupied acreage as essential to port development and dependable business, and similar topics. Fortified by a luncheon given in their honor at the Chamber of Commerce, the delegates to the convention were in a mood thoroughly to appreciate the highway tour, its entrancing scenic grandeur and the commercial possibili ties spread in panoramic view as they kirted, the mighty river. i Possibilities Are Seen. Although only the. lower portion of the middle river was seen, delegates from Washington and British Colum bia had full knowledge of the upper reaches and of the agricultural wealth and future possibilities, also navigation features, while to those from the south land no better demonstration of the watergrade haul down the river and water competition could ha.ve been of- fered. The morning session of the associa tion teemed with new topics and was largely a Northwest programme, pa pers being offered by Oregon, Wash ington and British Columbia delegates that had much to do with home prob lems, though all were not confined to those conditions. One that was discussed probably more than the others was by C'olonef Oeorge A. Zinn, Corps of Kngineers, U. S. A., who is directing all river and harhor improvement projects here, which covered rail and water trans portation thoroughly. Colonel Zinn made an exhaustive study of the sub ject before being assigned to duty here, so had examples and illustrations from the Great Lakes region, in the South and on the East Coast as well as in the West. Also comparisons were made with European transportation matters, showing how they are han dled separately and in a competitive way. The factors of cost of transpor tation was brought forth as a point to be studied when considering the de mand for moving certain commodities. Improvement Ulstricta Advocated. W. D. B. Dodson, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, read a paper on "Portland's Interior Water Serv ice," dealing with the Columbia and Snake rivers, their products moved to tidewater and the steamboat facilities of past and present. He advocated the organization of improvement districts that funds might he available for con struction of wharves, installation of mechanical facilities therein and pro viding highways leading to the river s:nne from points within a radius of fiO miles, auto trucks being used in the transfer to and from the river. "The Necessity of Ports" was the title of a paper by B. F. Stone, presi dent of the Port of Astoria Commis sion, in which he contended for mors extensive authority for port bodies that would enable assistance to be given all factors in the interior having an effect on a port's commerce, even to providing funds from state assist ance or through bond issues for clear ing logged-off land. Air. Stone re marked that by some he might be thought radical in such views, but that from his experience he felt the time was not far distant when port bodies must have full control of commerce, rate making, beltline facilities and, in fact, every detail of regulation and reasonable charges in the interest of commerce. Wooden Shipbuilding; XHscnssed. James Oscar Cameron, of Victoria, B. C, of the Cameron Lumber Company and the Cameron Genoa Shipbuilding Company. Ltd., chose "Wooden Ship building" as his topic and in that he included the experience of British Co lumbia in the new construction, the aid rendered by the government in financing yards and vessels, and how types so far turned out exceeded their estimated lumber capacity. Some humor was injected into his re-marks on a statement that one new ship was being loaded with 1,500,000 feet for the Antipodes on a rate of 120 shillings, and one in the audience fig ured that the vessel would earn 54n0,000 on the voyage. whereas slower mathematicians present correct ly placed the earnings at about 115.000 K. F. Forrrtan. assistant traffic man ager of the Port of Seattle Commis sion, was to Tfave been heard on "Ship ping After the War." but postponed his talk until this morning. At that time papers and discussions will,' be concluded and the session esolve itself into a ousiness meeting iot tne reports of committees, election of officers and selection of the 1918 meeting place. At 3:I o clock this afternoon the dele gates will be taken for a tour of , the harbor aboard a. steamer. Maps showing general port layouts, ns well as pamphlets replete with i-tatistics, have been distributed by vir tually all delegates, and some speakers have augmented their papers - by ref rrence to wall charts, so 'many matters have been made much clearer to those who had not enjoyed a personal; in tpecllon of all localities. BEAVER FLIES RESERVE FLAG Fortlanclcrs Returning From South Increase . Passenger Lists. Captain Bankln Is playing host to 150 travelers aboard the liner Beaver, flag ship of the San Francisco & Portland fleet, which is due in th harbor from California ports today. The vessel has a. fair cargo. An arrival yesterday in the regular passenger fleet was the turbiner Northern Pacific, Captain Al Hunter, which brought a number, of travelers. Besides the ordinary vaca tlon travel returning this way, parents n-e hastening home with youngsters for school, so the next few trips of the coastwise fleet will carry many of that class. Captain Hunter Is head of the list on the Coast in being the first to" fly xne t,nitea states xvavaj reserve r ores flag, authority for which was also re- ( Cv "a -in-, t : ' h- V?XS. rf : f t 1 : -ily " -Z& It, I ' r i 1 -V . 81 l : ' -J ; yt : v:;: I- ;i fib, 1- XL"' ' -v V --"j XM: ijvj f; i. ceived by Captain Ahman, of the Great Northern, both skippers being in Uncle Sam's emergency sea organization. SHEDS CP AT ST. JOHNS YARD Grant Smith - Guthrie - McDougall Plant Rapidly Xearlng Completion. Four sheds covering ways are fin ished, four more are unOer way, and much of the yard is planked, with saw sheds and other structures up, at the St. Johns property of the Grant Smith- Guthrie-McDougall Company. Pile drivers are engaged in driving founda tions for the eighth' set of ways and another is driving those for the launch ing slips, so in a week or two the gen eral appearance will be that of a com pleted plant. The plant will turn out 1 ships there under existing contracts and with eight ways going it will be the largest work ing, though the j Foundation Company, located on the "boneyard" site, will have 10 sets of ways when the maxi mum facilities are installed.. DOCK BOND BIDS TO BE OPENED Offers "Will Be Considered by Com mission This Afternoon. Precautions were taken in setting the hour for opening bids for 1,500,000 worth of bonds issued by the Commis sion of Public Docks for grain eleva tor construction so it would not inter fere with the sessions of the Pacific Coast Association of Port Authorities now being held here, the bond tenders being opened at 2 o'clock this after noon. The legality of the bonds has been passed on and it is assured the Com mission will be oriered satisfactory tenders for the issue. The bonds will be dated October 1 and funds being available by then means an active start can be made on foundation work as soon as contract details are closed. DREDGE OREGOX WILL BE BUSY Orders Issued Transferring Big Digger From Grays Harbor to Vancouver. On instructions from Colonel Zinn, Corps of Kngineers, U. S. A., the crew of the Government pipeline dredge Ore gon, now on Grays Harbor, is prepar ing that digger for a trip to the river.

After asserting on direct examina tion that she had never before suffered a serious injury and had always been In good health, Mrs. Victoria' Colby, under a gruelling cross-examination yesterday, reluctantly admitted that she had sustained an ' alleged Injury several years ago at Prescott, Ariz., for which she received $1000 in settle ment from the city of Prescott. This admission was an opening wedge by which Deputy City Attorney Davie will launch his attack in an ef fort to prove Mrs. Colby a professional personal injury ."faker." Mrs. Colby - later admitted further that since coming to Portland she had sustained an alleged Injury on a street car, for' which she had put tier case before the claim department of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company: that she had sustained an alleged injury while employed at the Meier & Frank store in 1913. after which the company had paid her med ical bill. Two Alleged Injuries Similar. The admission of her settlement with the city of Prescott, however, was con sidered doubly significant by Mr. Davie, because the alleged Injury sustained in Arizona is of the same nature as that alleged to have been sustained in this city in May, 1915, for which her $25,000 damage suit against the city of Port land is now on trial before Circuit Judge Tucker. "Now, Mrs. Colby, when you lived at Prescott, Arizona, did you have fall on the sidewalk? she was asked on cross-examination. "Yes sir." "And what was the result of that fall?" "I had a dislocated hip," was the re ply. "Which hip was it?" "My left hip." Mrs. Colby's claim for damages is based on an alleged dislocated hip sus tained in her fall on East Salmon street. i-ier nrst suit, winch was against the city officials as individuals, was thrown out by the Supreme Court after she had obtained a verdict for J6350 in the Circuit Court. The pres ent trial is based on a complaint against the city as a municipal cor poration. Coaching Is Charged. Another bomb shell was exploded in Mrs. Colby's case by Mr. Davie when, after a short recess, he asked Judge Tucker to caution Miss Ruth Colby, daughter of the plaintiff, not to "coach" her mother while the latter was testifying. In open court Mr. Davie charged that Mrs. Colby was being coached in her answers by Miss Colby, who sat at the side of her mother's attorneys, nod ding her head either affirmatively or negatively. The girl offered to leave the courtroom and was not in attend ance during the remainder of the ses sion. Another bit of testimony by Mrs. Colby on which counsel for the city laid special emphasis was her admis sion that she had been a close student of surgery. She was asked several medical questions and showed a ready knowledge of hip injuries. Twice during the trial of the case yesterday Mrs. Colby collapsed. She burst into hysteria after she had com pleted her direct examination, and after Mr. Davie had charged her daughter with "coaching" her in her answers, she again became hysterical and it was necessary for her to be car ried from the witness stand. 'Women I'rlends Testify. Although she had not completed her testimony under cross-examination, her attorneys would not allow her to be put on the stand during the remainder of the day. She probably will complete her testimony today. Several women, all friends of Mrs. Colby, gave their testimony for the plaintiff yesterday. Chief of these was Mrs. Kmma Schneider, who was with her at the time she sustained her alleged Injury. Mrs. Schneider and the other witnesses all told of Mrs. Colby's apparent good health before the alleged accident, and of her changed condition later. Mrs. Schneider admitted that she had attended a party at the Colby home several days ago at which Mrs. Colby appeared to be in high spirits. She said that in her opinion Mrs. Colby ap peared to be suffering more in the courtroom than she did at her home. It is not believed that the rase can reach the jury until somo time next week.
