UNITED EFFORT NEEDED
E. B. MacNAUGHTON SAYS PORTLAND
' SHOULD RETAIN LEAD.
Speaker at Realty Board Luncheon
Enphanlzea What Is Being; Done
"t By Other Oregon Towns.
If Portland is to become a great port,
Its citizens must- make up their minds
to work unceasingly and untiringly to
that end and must make Portland, not
Astoria,- or any other Columbia River
town, the place where ships load and
unload, declared E. B. MacNaughton in
an address on "Over the Top for Port
land," at the weekly luncheon of the
" Portland Realty Board yesterday.
Otherwise, he said, Astoria, or the
other town that gets the business will
be the port and Portland will be
nothing.
He emphasized also the necessity for
working day and night to obtain a
revision of the freight rate handicap
now imposed against Portland. He
cited the case of Spokane as an ex
ample of how the determination of a
united citizenry obtained a revision of
the whole principle on which trans
continental freight tariffs were based,
simply because they had right on ther
side and wouldn't give up.
O. G. Rohrer, chairman of the rental
committee of the Portland Realty Board,
made a report showing how popula
tion has increased in the past year
from 170 to 216 per cent in various
districts, with a corresponding scarcity
of houses for rent. He predicted that
in a short time there would be no
houses for rent and tents would be
springing up on vacant lots to house
the people.
Portland, he said, would experience
a good market for residence property
with the coming of Spring.
Leo Friede was chairman of the day
and Frank L. McGuire, president of
the board, presided at the luncheon.
JUDGE TO LEAVE BENCH
E. V. L1TTLEFIELD WILL TEA DER
RESIGNATION TO GOVEIINOK.
Judge Gantenbein la Expected to Reach
Portland Next Friday to Renume
Judicial IJutle.
Although the announcement of Cir
cuit Judge Gantenbein to the effect
that he was returning to Portland to
resume the bench after an absence of
several months in the Army came to
him as a complete surprise. Circuit
Judge Littlefield yesterday announced
that he would tender his resignation
next week to Governor Withycombe.
in order that Judge Gantenbein might
resume his office.
A telegram received yesterday by
Judge Littlefield from Judge Ganten
bein said the latter would arrive in
Portland next Friday. Judge Ganten
bein wired that he had decided to take
a Colonelcy in the United States Re
serves rather than accept the commis-
sion as Major in the Regular Army. By
so doing, he will return to the Circuit
Bench until such time as he is called to
the colors
Judge Littlefield was appointed Cir
cult Judge August 29. last, following
the resignation oi juage cramenoein.
At the time he accepted the appoint
ment he did so with the agreement that
he would relinquish the office when
Judge Gantenbein returned.
Judge Littlefield said yesterday that
he would wait until the return of Judge
Gantenbein before tendering his resig
nation to Governor Withycombe, as
Judge Gantenbein in his telegram said
he wanted to see Judge Littieneid im
mediately upon his return to Portlands
The telegram from Judge Gantenbein
follows:
"Under recent ruling Judge Advocate
General, had to elect between Major
National Army and Colonel of Reserve
Corps. After careful consideration,
have elected latter. You will remem
ber I stated I would do this if it came
to a choice. Cannot make too many
sacrifices. I shall probably see you
Friday."
GROSSING LAID IN NIGHT
SHERWOOD DISPUTE WITH SOUTH.
ER. PACIFIC SETTLED.
Unidentified Persons Secretly Act Be
fore Application for Injunction
Is Made by Road.
SHERWOOD, Or., Nov. 2. (Spacial.)
When residents of this city awoke
this morning and came down town,
they were confronted by a new cross
ing over the Southern Pacific Railroad
on Washington street. This crossing it
seems has been agitated between the
city and the Southern Pacific since Oc
tober, 1913, when the Public Service
Commission heard evidence by the city
of Sherwood for a crossing on Wash
ington street, and granted the request.
The citizens on the south side of the
track wanted the crossing and some
on the north side did not, and as the
railroad had sympathizers, it is said
they refused to permit the city to con
struct the crossing, planning to do it
themselves at a cost of $800.
On Wednesday the City Recorder re
ceived a copy of a notice filed with the:
Commission by the Southern Pacific
Railway asking that the order of 1913
be rescinded. Some one immediately
got busy and enlisted the services of
several citizens, obtained crushed rock
and gravel and planking and some
time last night proceeded to lay the
crossing. The Council was not aware
of this procedure and was as much
surprised as were the populace.
The school children now will be able
to go to and from school in safety, not
having to go around or crawl under
the cars.
The people are wondering what action
the railroad company will take, and if
presented to the Public Service Com
mission, what their decision will be.
since the crossing has been laid before
the permanent injunction was re
quested.
BIG SAWMILL IS PLANNED

ciai.j construction of a new sawmill
at Gardiner will put that little town
back on the Oregon Coast lumber map
and furnish employment for 100 men in
the mill and logging camps. With the

TENTS RISING FOR
LIVESTOCK
Progress Made in Preparation
for Big North Portland
Event November 19-24.
HUGE 'BUILDINGS' PLANNED
Main Quarters for Breeding Beef
Type Will Be SO by 60 0 Feet
and Judging Ring Will
100 by 2 00 feet
Be
Preparations for the coming Pacific
International Livestock Exposition at
North Portland, November 19 to 24, are
being rushed by the management. At
this time those who visit North Port
land are surprised at the progress made
during the past week in preparing the
site. A large tract has been leveled
and the tents in which the show will
be held are being erected.
The tent for the breeding beef types
is an immense affair, 50 feet wide and
600 feet long. This will hold four rows
"f cattle each row accommodating from
150 to 175 head. Stalls are being built
and bedding plr.ced.
Connected with this large tent are
smaller ones, each of which will hold
some 200 head of cattle, all being pre
pared in the same manner.
The horse tent will have extra ac
commodations in the shape of built-in
stalls.
The hog tent will have specially ar
ranged pens, as will also the sheep
tent.
A large tent. 100 feet by 200 feet, will
be used for the judging ring. Here will
be fought out some of the most inter
esting battles in the livestock world
of the show season. One can readiiy
imagine the keen competition that will
take place in this tent when some of
the large Shorthorn classes are to be
judged. Some of these classes will con
tain as many as 35 to 40 entries and
as there are only 12 awards in each
class, the rivalry will be keen.
At a meeting Thursday at the Cham
ber of Commerce new officers of the
show were elected to serve until after
the coming show. These were: William
H. Daughtrey, general manager; Phil
Metschan, Jr., treasurer; William H.
Crawford, secretary.
Other members of the executive com
mittee are J. D. Farrell. C. C. Colt. Em
ery Olmstead, Henry L. C,bett, L. C
Oilman and Julius L. Meier.

by Oregon City Man.
LEBANON, Or., Nov. 2. (Special.)
A mass meeting of the employes of the

the Lebanon mill was held in the Chris
tian Church last night and they-were
addressed by S. Ed. Launer, of Oregon
City, who had been sent to Lebanon
to encourage the men to stay with the
strike. The business men of Lebanon
are making an effort to get the men
and the mill officials together and
have the men go back to work.
The walkout, which took place Tues
day, was caused, the men say, by rea
son of an order having been sent here
to be filled from the mills at Camas,

TWO TUGS LAID UP
Waliula and Tualatin to Go to
Drydock.
PORTLAND TO CLEAR BASIN
Dredge to Dig at Dock, Then Go to
St. Johns Elevutor Site to Start
on First Slip Law Limits
Dredging Activities.
Conservation of finances is the mo
tive which has prompted the issuance
of an order by the Port of Portland
Commission for the tug Waliula. in
service at the entrance of the Colum
bia River, to be steamed here and laid
up as soon as the tug Oneonta. which
left San Francisco yesterday, reports
for duty. The 30-inch dredge Tualatin,
newest of the fleet of channel diggers,
was also ordered laid up yesterday, and
will be towed to the drydock today.
The business at the mouth of the Co
lumbia is such at present that one tug
can care for it. The Oneonta has been
used to some extent of late in ocean
towing, and her last trip was from
Grays Harbor to the Golden Gate witn
the hull of the new steamer Claremont.
She reached San Francisco Thursday
and was reported departing from there
at 11 o'clock yesterday morning, being
light, so she will be in the river Mon
day. It was intended to tie up one of the
dredges, as all of the shipyard fills
have been made, and as soon as the up
per harbor digging ceases the remain
ing big task will be dredging in front
of the municipal elevator site at St.
Johns and making a fill on that prop
erty. The dredge Columbia has been
ordered from Postoffice Bar to replace
the Tualatin above the bridges. The
Portland, which is there, will be towed
to the drydock next week to dig the
dock basin clear, after which she goes
to the St. Johns elevator site to start
digging the first slip, which will ex
tend shoreward 1200 feet and will be
30 feet deep at low water.
The slip dredging will be paid for by
the Commission of Public Docks on a
per diem basis, the Port charging the
dock body the actual cost for each 24
hours. The dredging in the channel is
not assessed, but the Dock Commission
takes care of the shore work expense.
The 6 per cent tax limitation law
prevents the Port of Portland from ob
taining a sufficient amount of funds,
in keeping with the unusual demands
made during the new shipbuilding ac
tivity, to carry on all dredging. Be
sides channel operations. extensive
shipyard fills have been made, and they
could not be taken care of in any other
way.
ELEVATOK
WORK
CHANGED
Steam Equipment to He Substituted
for Teams and Sorapcra.
Speed, which is essential at this
time in excavating: work at the Bite
of the municipal prrain elevator at St.
Johns, has resulted in Lyon & Sons.
who accepted a contract for grading:
there, relinquishing: the task, so the
Commission yesterday arranged with
Charles J. Cook to take over the work.
The lormer contractor depended on
horses and scrapers, but as a fill is
bcintr made by dredfte from material
removed from the channel, it caused
seepage that found its way into the
excavation and teams were unable to
remove the wet earth rapidly.
Mr. Cook, it is understood, will use
a clamshell grcar, operated by steam,
and it is hoped to end the task in short
order. The excavation is about one-
third finished. In view of higher
water in the river being expected soon,
the Commission Insisted on the digging
being expedited so the earth walls
about the foundation of the elevator
may be properly protected from any
overflow.
EMERALD LINERS RUN AGAIN
Other Vessels Scheduled to Depart
During Next Few Days.
Service of the Emerald line, tempo
rarily interrupted through the fact the
steamer F. A Kilburn struck the
Ninth-street dock at Astoria Thursday,
and the Breakwater was on drydock at
San Francisco for cleaning and paint
ing, has again been restored through
the Kilburn getting under way once
more, and the Breakwater will be
floated today, leaving the Golden Gate
on schedule tomorrow night, so her
next sailing from Portland will be
Thursday night.
As to the movements of other pas
Benger ships, the Wapama l&aves to
day, the Willamette Monday and the
San Francisco & Portland liner Beaver
is scheduled to sail Wednesday. Steam
ship agents say there is not such

WAR TAX BOTHERS AGENTS
Absence of Pennies and Varying
Fares Hamper Dockincn in Sales.
Certain ticket ugents along the -wa
terfront yesterday concluded that war
was .all General Sherman claimed for
it. thouprh they have not actually par
ticipated in combat, but coincide with
the famous fighter because of difficul
ties with which they labored in mak
ing change for passengers In order to
collect the new war tax.
First of all, some tardy steamboaters
neglected to provide a stock of pen
nies. That compelled the collection of
a dime instead of 8 cents on $1 tick
ets, except where wary travelers had
obtained the pennies before. In the
next place tickets to different points
netted odd taxes and the first day was
somewhat perplexing. However, In a
few days it will be operating: more
smoothly.
