nated." '.Traffic Congestion Feared.
T. B. Wilcox, chairman of the Pa
cific Coast milling division of the Food
Administration, declared that a. serious
congestion of traffic at the coast termi
nals is likely to result and he suggested
that pressure be brought to bear on the
grain corporation to grant licenses to a
number of interior mills and ware
houses to carry a part of the crop.
Mr. Wilcox also said he had been as
sured that a quantity of Australian
wheat was coming here. This wheat
may be milled here, and In that event
It might be necessary to ship' a por
tion of the domestic crop to the East.
The Australian wheat,. Mr. Wilcox de
clared later, should not be brought
here. At any rate, the larger part of
the Northwestern crop should be milled
first.
WAR'S STIMULUS IS SEEN
I'hTstcal Training Is Encouraged,
Says A. M. Grllley, of Y. M. C. A.
"It Is remarkable how the war's de
mands for physical fitness In men has
influenced enrollment in physical train
ing classes." said A. M. Qrilley, physi
cal training director of the Y. M. C. A.,
yesterday. "We have had so many ap
plications for our 5:30 business men's
class that we have found it necessary
to divide it. Hereafter there will be
two classes for business men, one at
E P. M. and the other at P. M. With
this division wo have opportunity for
additional enrollments In both classes.
"Another class that Is proving ex
ceedingly popular begins work at i
o'clock in the morning, and those who
- think it too sleepy an hour for physi
cal exercise should see the way it
wakes up and puts 'pep' into the men
who try it."

KELLY HOW HJUOR
One of Oregon's Ablest Lum
bermen Commissioned.
EXPERIENCE HERE COUNTS
Special Forestry . Regiment Is Xor
Bcin? Organized by Corps
of Engineers for Serv
ice in France.
George 11. Kelly," Insurance man,
banker, member of the Port of Portland
Commission and formerly of the Booth.
Kelly Lumber Commpany, has been
commissioned a Major in a special for
estry regiment being formed by the
Corps of Engineers, U. S. A., for service
in France.
As most of Mr. Kelly's life was epent
in the lumber business and his experi
ence has Included every branch of the
industry, he is counted a highly val
uable adjunct to the regiment, whose
duty. It is understood, will be to work
timber into lumber for all kinds of
uses at the front.
From a small lumber mill estab
lished in South Oregon years ago, Mr.
Kelly, with the co-operation of his
brother, John Kelly, and It. A. Booth,
finally built up the Booth-Kelly Lum
ber Company, one of the most exten
sive milling concerns in the Northwest,
from which he retired several years
ago. One of his friends remarked yes
terday that "George Kelly had followed
the lumber game since the days when
logs were 'snaked' out of the woods
with oxen," and it is true that he has
set up and helped operate almost every
kind of a mill, from small portable af
fairs to plants cutting hundreds of
thousands of feet a day.
It is men with that kind of experi
ence that are wanted abroad, and much
of the labor of getting out lumber will
fall on the American forces, mainly
because of their experience at home
and the rapid .development of sawmill
machinery here.
First Lieutenant John Kelly. Corps of
Engineers, U. & A., now reported to be
abroad, is a son of Major Kelly. He
was commissioned and sent to Wash
ington with the . first contingent.
Major Kelly is president of the Whit-mer-Kelly
Company and is interested
in real estate and various enterprises
here, while at the last session of the
Legislature he was elected a member
of the Port of Portland Commission.
Major Kelly has served as director of
the Northwestern National Bank and of
the Oregon Electric Railway Company.
He has also been connected with the
Alaska-Pacific Navigation Company
and the Alaska-Pacific Construction
Company, which has headquarters in
Seattle.
paign to secure a basic wheat rate for
the Pacific Coast.
The committee representing all
Northwest Commercial bodies and
farmers' organizations expended in
their several weeks of service $3800. In
recognition of their success, all organ
izations represented are asked to as
sume a part of the expense incurred.

of the service, but he believes he can

of the state Mr. Godwin " will talk in
the interest of the liberty loan, also.
"I solicit the help of the churches in
these communities." Mr. Godwin said

to help them in places they cannot
reach and in turn they can help me."

SALE.M, Or.. Oct. 4. (Special.) The
Supreme Court today in the case of
H. V. Gates, appellant, va. the Public
Service Commission and the City of
Dallas, holds that the city owns the
water plant operating" there and con
sequently the Public Service Commis
sion has no Jurisdiction to fix the rates.
Under the ordinance of the City of
Dallas covering- the water plant. It is
provided that H. V. Gates shall con
struct a water plant and the city. In
consideration of $12,000, to be paid in
partial payments, is to be owner of
the plant, the value of the plant, how
ever, to be determined at the end of
20 years from the passage of the ordi
nance and the value so determined to
be paid for by the city, less the $12,000.
Kx-Judgrc (llonar Itcverncd.
"Counsel for defendants urged that,
according: to the terms of the ordi
nance and contract, the city never
agreed to purchase the plant from
Gates." states the opinion, written by
Justice Bean. "This might be answered
by paying that the city would not be
expected to make an agreement to pur
chase its own property. In its con
tract with' Gates to construct the
water works it- was to pay a. definite
sum and in addition he was to have
the proceeds derived from the plant
until the city should pay an amount to
be thereafter fixed."
Under the public utilities act utili
ties owned by municipalities are
exempt from the operation of the act.
