THE BIORXING OREGONIAW. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 27. 1917. MILLS WILL SPEED AIRCRAFT PRODUCT Pacific Coast Lumbermen to Gives Planes' Woods Pref erence in Future. SUPPLIES TO BE RUSHED Members of West Coast and "Willam ette Valley Associations Also "Urge That Government Com mandeer Suitable Fir. TTndismayed by the most difficult manufacturing- specifications ever at tempted in Pacific Coast sawmills, members of the West Coast Lumber men's Association and the Willamette Valley Lumbermen's Association yes terday decided to give Government air craft requirements priority over all other business. Commandeering of fir suitable for aircraft purposes was strongly advo cated by a number of the leading- lum bermen of Oregon and Washington, during the course of the meeting, which was held in the Portland Hotel. How ever, before asking the Government to stop in and practically take charge of the production of aircraft lumber, the association members decided to make one more patriotic effort to keep all the aircraft factories in the United States supplied, it being the sense of the meeting that with increased effi ciency which is daily being developed in sawing against the aircraft specifi cations, there will be an immensely increased production in November. Big Output Essential. It was officially announced at the meeting that it was the opinion of military experts in the United States, England and France that with 10,000 or more American airplanes in France by Spring the war will end in 191S. It also was announced that the only pos sible drawback in the carrying out of the aerial programme would be the inability of Oregon and Washington mills to deliver the spruce and fir needed to build the planes. In other words, the quick and suc cessful termination of the war is very largely in the hands of the mills of the "West Coast Lumbermen's Association, and the members of the association, realizing the responsibility resting upon them, voted unanimously and with patriotic fervor to strain every manu facturing capacity and facility in satis fying the Government's needs. Following the meeting Secretary Allen, of the association, telegraphed the United States Signal Corps that the first trainload of aircraft fir would be moving within ten days and after that it was the intention of the association mills to keep stock moving as fast as shipping instructions were received. Coait Committee Formed. Following the meeting of the associa tion the Pacific Coast committee of the National Lumber Manufacturers Asso ciation was organized by R. S. Kellogg, of Chicago, secretary of the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association. E. D. Kingsley, of Portland, i was elected chairman of this committee, the other members of which are: A. L. Paine, Hoquiam, Wash.; Captain E. A. Sel fridge, of San Francisco; B. H. Hornby, of Dover, Idaho; J. H. Bloedel, Seattle; Major E. G. Griggs, Tacoma; E. B. Hazen, Portland: F. B. Hutchens, Mc Cloud, Cal.; L. C. Eccles, Ogden, Utah; A. L. Flewelling, Spokane; E. T. Allen, Portland; Robert B. Allen, Seattle; A. W. Cooper, Spokane, and C. Stowell Smith, of San Francisco. The committee voted to extend an invitation to the National Lumber Manufacturers Association to hold its annual meeting in Portland in April: and also voted to hold a conference of all West Coast sales managers and lumber salesmen in Portland shortly after the first of the year, at which time experts employed by the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association will lecture on lumber salesmanship and trade extension. RAILWAY M MAY QUIT SOl'THERX PACIFIC SHOP A.D YARD CREWS SEEK MORE PAY. Prospect of Strike of SOOO Men in Cali fornia Is Paced I'nless Secre tary of Labor Acts. SAX FRANCISCO. Oct. 26. (Special.)

One of the hits of Patriotic week in Portland was the ap pearance of Miss Jessie Millar, the noted cornet solist. on the programme in behalf of the Ore gon boys' emergency fund motion pictures at the Municipal Audi torium. Miss Millar, who is a star at Pantages Theater this week, played as soloist with the Police Band at the Tuesday noon meet ing at Fifth and Morrison streets. Congressman McArthur and State Senator Conrad P. Olson were among the speakers and Mrs. Robert Clark was the vocal solo ist. Before entering vaudeville three seasons ago Miss Millar ap peared as cornet soloist with the principal bands of the country. With her sister, Dollie, she re cently returned from a tour of Australia. several of the 50 departments of the county government will have submit ted their estimates for the considera tion of the committee. SHIP MEN TO ORGANIZE BlILDERS OF WOODEN VESSELS FEEL PROTECTION XEED. Shipping: Board! Attitude Jeopardises Industry, la Belief of Cham ber of Commerce Efforts are being put forth by those interested in the building of .wooden ships here and elsewhere on the Pacific Coast to form a permanent organiza tion, looking: to its protection. 1 he Chamber of Commerce, through W. D. B. Uodson, executive secretary, is lend ing its influence and assistance. It has become the prevailing belief among those engaged in this industry here and at other XJaciflc Coast cities that it is necessary to have some or ganization to protect the interests that many think are being jeopardized by the attitude of the Shipping Board. "The attitude of the Whipping Board is so peculiar that it is threatening the industry," declared Mr. Dodson yes terday. "It does not want all of the output, but at the same time appar ently refuses to permit any other Gov ernment to award contracts without holding over them the fear that it will commandeer the vessels. This is hav in j the effect of frightening away busi ness, as when a government lets a con tract, it must have the assurance that it is going to gel just what it bargains for, instead of losing it to some other govern men t." When the permanent organization is effected it will probably work along the lines of clearing up misunderstand ings and laying such facts before the Washington authorities as will bring about better conditions and Insure the permanency of the wooden shipbuilding industry. CLUB DELEGATES HOME WOJIEX ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT FRIEV1LLE MEETING. Mrs. Boy Bishop "Yell Leader" for Bt tarniDe Representatives, Who Start Before Sunrise. Delegates, brimming with the spirit of enthusiasm that dominated the con vention of the Oregon Federation of "Women's Clubs at Frineville, returned last nierht after an eventful outing of five days in Central Oregon. The con vention was voted by all the 104 wom en in the party as "the best ever." The start was made before sunrise yesterday and the delegates had an ex cellent opportunity to enjoy the fine scenery that marks the entire Journey. The hilarity of the cowboys and citi zens who arranged the buccaroo break fast and other forms of entertainment that made the tri memorable was taken up by the women, and during the trip homeward they formed a proces sion and marched through the car sing ing an improvised song, with Mrs. Roy Bishop as "yell leader." Among those who took up the refrain and sang with true "wild Western" vim were Mrs. C. H. Castner, state president; Mrs Millie R. Trumbull, Mrs. P. L. Campbell, of Eugene: Mrs. Alice H. Dodge, Miss Virginia Drake, Mrs. Anton Giebisch, Miss Phelps, Mrs. F. Eggert. Mrs. A. McXaught, Mrs. Cohen, of Pendleton: Mrs. John Vert, the new director, and Mrs. Ida Callahan, of O. A. C. Some of the women wore bandannas and some of them danced as they marched. And this is what they sang: "I'm a little Oregon flower, Growing wilder every hour. Nobody ever cultivates me I'm w-i-l-d." Tacoma Soldier 111. OTTAWA. Ont.. Oct. 26. Today's Ca nadian casualty list contains the name of C. H. Sol tan. Tacoma, Wash., re- J fittest f X l. r 2. v. t .. , f 650,000 TO BE SAVED War Prices Allowed on Steel for Grain Elevator. 1648 TONS AMOUNT NEEDED Government's Sanction of Deal Ob tained by Public Docks Commis sionTerminal to Be Keady for 1918 Wheat Crop. At least 530,000 will be saved by the Commission of Public Docks in the purchase of steel for use in the con struction of the municipal grain ele vator at St. Johns, for steps taken to obtain sanction of the Government to buy the material on special war prices were successful. The material will be purchased through the Pacific Coast Steel Company at $53 a ton, f. o. b., Pittsburg, and it is estimated the freight will be about $15 a ton added. The amount of steel required will be tons and 140 tons cannot be sup plied by the Pacific Coast Steel Com pany as it does not roll the particular kinds included in the lot. The matter of obtaining sanction of the Govern ment to buy the steel was taken up quietly and as it was shown the grain elevator was desired for the 1918 crop and was a highly important acquisition to the port facilities of this city, the Government immediately consented, so the steel is not only assured at a much lower figure than could be quoted in the open market, but the Commission is certain that reasonably early de livery will be made. More steel is to be needed as well, though that will be the railroad pat tern, as the Commission has authorized Chief Engineer Hegardt to prepare for laying tracks in the rear of the Pitts-burg-street terminal, also known as Dock No. 3, which is located at St Johns, and build a switch connecting with the main line of the 0.-W R. & N. The move is in the interest of stor ing wheat for the Government. The dock is capable of caring for about 6000 tons and as all storage facilities available will be demanded to house the cereal moving from the interior, it was determined to lay the tracks. Be sides, there are shipbuilding inter ests and others who will no doubt make use of the dock for landing ma chinery since trackage connections are assured. The Commission authorized the pur chase of a diagonal strip of land for $1000, which will be needed for right of way for the spur from the main line. Another expenditure authorized was for a grain pilcr to be used on the municipal docks so sacked rain can be piled above the present height. Mr. Hegardt was instructed to ar range for the publication of all proceed ings of the last session of the Pacific Coast Port Authorities, in session here September 4 and 5. Payment was made for the St. Johns elevator and water terminal site, the total being $137,000. F. C. Knapp, of the Commission, was granted leave of absence for 30 days. WATER LOW OX RIVER GAVGE Launching Ways to Be Extended in Few Cases for Temporary Service. Prolonged dry weather is not work ing in the interest of shipbuilders who contemplate launching new hulls shortly, not that there is insufficient depth in front of any yard, but as many ways were built during higher stages of water extensions must be provided to insure safe launchings. The gauge yesterday showed a depth of 1.9 feet above low water. - Already measures have been adopted to advance the launching ways of a few. In cases where they must en croach on the harbor line the prob abilities are no objection will be heard, the assumption being that when ships are in the water that part of the ways beyond the harbor line will be re moved. In another month no such diffi culties will confront the builders, for J. Pluvius Is counted on to open the new season shortly and the Willamette and Columbia will carry their custo mary volume. MA J. KELLY MAY RETAIN POST Port Commissioner's Successor Still "L'nclioscn. Just as other men who have joined the colors were promised their "jobs' when they return from abroad, so it has been said that the same opportu nity should be accorded Major George H. Kelly, who is on duty with the For estry Regiment of Engineers, to resume his post as a member of the Portland of Portland Commission. On accepting a commission in the service last month. Major Kelly imme diately tendered his resignation as a Port official and his successor has not been named. Many feel that the vacan cy should be filled until his return by a man identified with business and commercial affairs and not with mari time matters, as it is believed there is sufficient representation of rivermen now on the Board. Major Kelly served several months wnd in that time, his colleagues say. he demonstrated that he was not alone deeply interested in Port matters, but his training and experience in other lines were valuable. STEAMERS HELD BY FREIGHT California Shipments Hold Heavy and Congestion Is Felt. As a means of relieving come of the freight congestion in southbound busi ness the steamers Beaver and Break water were yesterday both held beyond their usual sailing hours, the Beaver not being dispatched until nearly mid night last night, though due to sail ordinarily at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and the Breakwater left at 8 o'clock at nirht. two hours late. The vessels were tardy in arriving, due to being held at San Francisco loading. They had large cargoes and more time was spent at this end of the line discharging, so not so much leeway was allowed for getting return loads aboard. Both had good passenger lists. Much more is offered steamship lines in the way of Oregon commodities than is being moved. DRYDOCK GETS PATRONAGE Santa Rita and Chilean Bark to Be First at Tacoma Station. TACOMA. Wash.. Oct. 26. (Special) Completing discharge of West Coast ore at the Tacoma smelter, the steamer Santa Rita crossed the bay today and entered the Todd drydock for repairs, being the first vessel to be handled by "Big Bill," the massive drydock. The Santa Rita, which has been in this port in past years as the William Chatham, encountered heavy weather coming up the Coast, First Mate Thompson having several ribs broken when the vessel shipped a big wave. The Chilean bark Llanquihue, now discharging cargo at the Northern Pa cific dock here,will be the second ves sel to go on the Todd drydock for re pairs. 3Iarine Notes.

Peters, which arrived in tow of the tug Shellkoff from Dun das this morning, brought a cargo of 50.000 cases of salmon and several hundred tons of fish cannery products for the Northwestern Fish eries Company. The scarcity of competent shipyard labor Is given as the reason for the prevailing be lief among local shipbuilders that the pro posed Government plan to work three shirts at the plants of Puget Sound will not prove practical. The steamer Admiral Evans sailed tonight on the last passenger carrying voyage of the season to Cook Inlet points. ASTORIA. Or.. Oct. 20. (Special.)

An Inkling of passenger conditions In Pacific Coast ports caused by the withdrawal of passenger steamers was Indicated today when scores were turned away at the Pacific Mall Steamship Company on applying for pas senger accommodations to Mexican and Cen tral American ports. The steamship New port is to sail tomorrow morning and early this morning the "All Filled" sign was dis played.

FAULTY Judges Refuse to Pass on Question as to Whether Examination Fees May Ho Deducted From Far Bids. SALEM, Or.. Oct. 26. (Special.) Tillamook County was perpetually en joined by the. Supreme Court today from selling $412,000 worth of road bonds passed itt a special election in that county on June 4. While the ef fect of the opinion was the same as the decision of the lower court in enjoin ing issuance of the bonds. Judge Bag ley, of the trial court, was not affirmed in overruling a demurrer as to the suf ficiency of the petitions calling the special election. The Supreme Court, in the opinion, refused to pass on a question as to whether or not bond buyers can bid par for bonds, but receive back a com mission for examination In an amount sufficient to make the actual bid less than par. Under the law county bond issues must be sold at par or better. Legislature 'ot All-Powerf nU The court held that the petition call ing for the special election was faulty in that it did not specify the length of time the bonds should run. and the court also held that a record of the County Court, which by statute is made absolutely conclusive as to the regu larity of proceedings held precedent to such order, is not so conclusive that the Legislature has no power to pass such a statute. "The Legislature," says the court, "is powerless to make the resulting fact conclusive evidence of the preceding fact upon which, it Is necessarily predicated." Referring to the insufficiency of the petition, in stating the length of time which the bonds would run. the court says: "While it probably would be pre sumed that each registered voter care fully read a petition which was being circulated for any purpose before he subscribed his name to it. experience teaches that but a very small percent age of persons do so, relying upon what is told them as being requested by the application." judge Moore Writes Opinion. The opinion goes on to state that "the legislative assembly evidently recog nizing this trait of character." enacted a law requiring that a petition praying for the calling of an election ti. issue bonds for the construction of perma nent roads in a county should set forth and specify the length of time the bonds should run "and having done so, the requirement is a condition prece dent to an exercise of the right which is not complied with by adopting a sliding scale ranging from two to 20 years." It was such a sliding scale that was provided for in the Tillamook bond issue in question. Justice Moore wrote the opinion. DAILY METEOROLOGICAL REPORT. PORTLAND. Oct. 26.
