SHOW HOTELS $1000 Subscribed to Keep Premier Western Stock Exhibit in Portland. $11,500 NEEDED THIS WEEK Seattle and Spokane Ready to Tuke Event ir Portland Falls Down. ( Exhibitors Expected to In corporate This Year. Tn an effort to pave the Pacific In ternational Livestock Show to Port land, and to catise. Portland to keep her position in the forefront of the live stock industry in the Northwest, the Portland Hotel Men's Association yes terday led off a subscription list with $1000. Iurincr the remainder of the week an additional $11,500 must be obtained. From statements by men who have kept the bip livestock event of the Northwest in Portland. it appears necessary that the money be forth coming at once. Spokane and Seattle eland ready to take the Pacific Inter-r't-tional Livestock Show off of Port land's hands. If that happens W. H. X'aufprhtrey. president of the Union I e-tockyartis, and others are of the opin ion that Portland will never regain its pxestigre ns the center of the srreat Industry of the Columbia River Basin. Benefit to Portland Shown. Testerday Mr. Daiijrhtrey pointed out that it had been largely due to the in fluence of the Livestock Show that the prades of hosrs and cattle had been so largely improved in Orepron, Washing ton and Idaho. It brinjrs to Portland the finest herds produced in the West, and from them are purchased the sires and dams that have been used to bring the Oregon grades to their present kiBrh ratings. The sales at the Portland shows have brought together the breeders who have money to invest in their busi ness, and in consequence this city has become recognized as the center of the livestock interests, as well as the home of the largest stockyards and packing plants of the district. Breeder Plan to Incorporate. The Liestock Show was to have been Incorporated last Pall by the breeders, who were willing to finance the build ing of a large pavilion at Portland. The war temporarily prevented that being done, but the assurance is given that the incorporation will be made at the Livestock Show to be held November 19 to 24. It Portland rallies to the support of the breeders at this time and finances the $11,500 now needed, the show will be permanently located here. . When the pavilion is ready it will be tendered free of charge for an annual h.orse show, the plan being to have the horses exhibited at nigbt. Money deeded for Premiums. "The amount that Portland men are asked to subscribe is very small in deed compared to subscriptions given elsewhere," said Mr. Oaughtrey. "Den ver puts up $250,000 for its livestock enow. Lewiston. Idaho, contributes $60,000 per annum to pay the expenses of the show as it is held there. "The Portland contribution is needed to pay premiums and expenses of run ning the show. No salaries are paid, nor is any change made for the stock yards facilities. "It is just a question of Portland maintaining this show or abandoning her prestige to some other city of the, Northwest. "The money must be raised this ;week." The committee which will today be am the solicitation of the funds is composed of Phil Metschan. Jr.. C. M. McAltster. H. II. Cloutier, of the Mult nomah Hotel, and K. G. Crawford, of the Chamber of Commerce. JUDGMENT TO STAND GEORGE A. SHEPHERD VERDICT AFFIRMED BY SUPREME CO CUT.

The following is the translation of a letter received by Henry S. Schell, of this city, who has adopted a French orphan: "Sir After the kind letter addressed to Krancis Charrier (signed Henry S. Schell) I believe myself to be ad dressing a teacher in the Emmerich Manual Training High School, who has become the godfather of little Francis Charrier. The mother of this little one is so pleased that she can not help telling it. "I presume, sir, to ask you if you do not know any soul in your neighbor hood also so good, so obliging and noble as is yours to adopt as you your self have done a little French orphan as godfather. This is my little daugh ter. She is 3V years old. My husband was killed at Verdun. A shell struck him on the head. This dear man left the thind day for the war; he suffered the martyrdom of the two Winters which he passed in the trenches; then during the first days of March he was wounded at the battle of Ypres, in Bel gium; he was convalescent one month. He was crazy about his little daughter, Marie Louise. Since you have a dear little Rosalie you understand what a father's love is, is it not so, my dear sir? "At the end of the month my husband left to rejoin his command at Verdun; eight days after his arrival he fell dead at Verdun, as I have told you. Be sides I have lost three brothers, of whom two were buried alive, at Hill 304, near Verdun, 100 meters from my lamented husband.. Someone wrote me about it. The bullets and the shells fell like a rain of hail. No one could stop them. My third brother died at Arras the 16th of June. I have a fourth. who also left as .did the others at the beginning of the war. He has returned home; he is almost blind from the asphyxiating gas. This brother has three little children to bring up. of whom the eldest is 9 years old. Tou see. sir, I am worthy of compassion. four of those dearest to me are dead in defense of their country, which you also love, my dear Americans, since you have wished to become our allies. I have only one little daughter, it is true, but at three years she is not nearly brought up and when there is this thought to be considered my family is almost extinguished. My aged father and mother are still living. I am with them to care for them. They have only the one son. "The death of their four children has almost killed them. Perhaps, my dear sir, you will find somo one who, as you. would wish to come to the aid of this little war orphan. My little Marie Louise would at least have a godfather, who would replace her real godfather who has a family scarcely less depleted than mine. See, my ad dress.

NEW MINISTRY INEVITABLE Paris Press Sees Reconstruction Ex pressed in Vote of Confidence. PARIS, Nov. 1. Reconstruction of the French ministry in the opinion of the Paris press is now inevitable, not withstanding a. recent vote of confl dence of 369 to 30 adopted by the Chamber of Deputies. The exact significance of that vote was set forth succinctly by Rene Re noult. president of the Socialistic Radi cals, when in explaining why he voted for the motion of confidence, he said: l vote confidence because l con sider it would be supremely unjust not to recognize the great services ren dered by M. 1'ainleve as Minister of War."

LIMITATION LAW HINDERS As Result of Shortage ot Funds, Tort Commission May Have to Dis pense With Ono 3,0-Inch Snctlon Dredge Xeit Year, In the budget estimate of the Port of Portland Commission, as submitted esterday, the total amount to be raised for general purposes is 1310,573.21, and that is said to be about $60,000 under what is actually required to keep all departments running, so it may mean the retirement of one 30-inch suction dredge for virtually the entire year. That is a result of the 6 per cent tax limitation law. The Commission has ordered the budget estimate published and Has fixed November 28 as a time for meet ing with any taxpayers who might bject to it. The whole amount to be raised is $425,111.56. but of that J114. 538.35 is to take care of bonded debt items. The assessed valuation of the Port of Portland District is placed at about 297,000,000. Last year the levy was 2 mills, and this year it may be about 5 mills, of which two-tenths of a mill will produce enough to retire $50,000 in pilotage and towage bonds that were sold last month and which must be retired July 1, 1918, and one-tenth of a mill is for the sinking fund also. How ever, the matter of fixing the rate is out of the hands of the Commission, as chapter 225, of the laws of 1917, provides for the tax levy being made in dollars and cents as far as the prepa ration of budgets go and the County Assessor figures the rate. Budget Is Prepared. The estimate of funds required for 1918 is as follows: Dredge department nncratinn Dredge Portland. 12 mo. at.i42no 50.400.00 72.0HO.OO 74. 4on.oo 7S.noO.oo S, tno.no 3 5.H00.OO 1j.O00.0O 3.000.00 Dredge Columbia. 12 mo. at. rtooo Dr'ge Willamette. 12 mo at.

Dredge operations in the preceding budget were estimated at $269,640. and that is one department in which the high cost of living is having an inning. There are a number of men to be taken care of on the vessels and some of them have had wage increases as well as having the food standard-maintained at all times. Administration expenses are advanced only $100 as compared with last year. HIGHER WAGES SOUGHT LOXCJHOREMEY SUBMIT PROPOSED NEW SCALE TO EMPLOYERS. Some Firms Are of Opinion That X nlted State Shipping Board "Will Decide Wisu. That the United States Shipping Board will no doubt decide wages to be paid longshoremen on the coast is the opinion of some firms which are concerned in a proposed higher scale, copies of which were submitted here Monday, and more than a week ago were presented to employers on Puget Sound. The expectation that the Gov ernment will regulate the wages Is said to operate against action being taken by employers, their argument being that if they fix a basis it may be changed in & short time by the Federal authorities. Longshoremen here are paid 60 cents an hour straight time and 90 cents an hour overtime. The new scale provides for 65 cents an hour and $1 overtime on cargo not excepted, and 70 cents and $1.10 on cement, plaster and fer tilizer. Lumber is 70 cents and $1.10, and piling and creosoted lumber is 80 cents and $1.20. Double winchmen, don- keymen and raftsmen, also burtonmen on sailing vessels. 80 cents and $1.20. Sacks of cargo weighing above 155 pounds, 75 cents and $1.25. Badly damaged cargo and that offen sive to be paid for at overtime rate and overtime to apply between 5 P. M. and 7 A. M., between 12 M and 1 P. M. and after 4 P. M. Saturday for offshore and stevedore work, also Sundays and holi days. Time spent on moving a ship from one dock to another to be paid for unless done during meal hours. JOILY EXA TO HAVE POWER Squarcrlgger Known Here to Be Fit ted as Auxiliary. On the arrival of the American bark John Ena at San Francisco from the Antipodes, probably early in Decem ber, the Standard Oil Company, which purchased the ship from the Kolph Navigation Company, will install twin Diesel engines of the Southwick-Harris design. Each will be of 625-horse-power. indicated. The John Ena is rated among the crack sailers of the Coast and has been in the water' since 1892, when she was launched at Glasgow. She is of 2706 tons net register and is 312.9 feet long, with a beam of 4S.1 feet, and depth of hold of 25 feet. She was in Portland a few years ago after a quick run from Japan and her smart sailing qualities were admired by. many. With the introduction of auxiliary schooners on the Coast, owners of squarerigged ships looked on the departure as ex perimental, but iUere bave been a, few of the "old-timers" given power and no doubt more of the auxiliary fleet will be in service after the war.
