$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.

BEREAVED PARENT APPEALS
French Mother Aks That Her 3-Xcar-Old
Daughter Be Adopted.
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. Oct. 25. 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

PORT BUDGET READY
$310,573.21 Amount to Be
Raised for General Purposes.
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 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.

The John Ena is rated among the
crack sailers of the Coast and has

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.
