of Commtru will nuki upon all mer

W. D. B. Dodson. executive aecretary
f the Chamber, vu spurred Into start
Inc the campaign by a telegram bat
ardar from Thomas Crowley, of San
Krancisco, president of the Independent
Eteamfhip Company, saying. "We will
be compelled to discontinue our steam

of Portland. The heavy expenses

In response to this message, Mr.
Dodson telegraphed to llr. Crowley as
follows
"In regard to your telegram today.
wa will go tha limit to have thla com
munity give proper support to your
steamship Una. Will take immediate
and vigorous measures for encourage
ment of traffic offering both ways."
"it seema an almost unending com
plaint." said Mr. Dodson. commenting I Smaller Ships Designated by Names
on the declaration made by the presi
dent of tha Independent Steamship
Company yesterday.
"Unless Portland furnishes adequate
traffic, wa will never maintain ateamer
services." he continued. "Wa go after
additional servire. and are confronted
by the prejudices held against the en
trance to the mouth of the river, the
reputation of thla port for furnishing
water traffic, or something ele. Then
when a company entera the field we are
constantly to.d that the amount of
traffic offered a steamer line is all out
of proportion to the business obtained
from porta of similar size elsewhere.
Organisation: Iteesaea Reasedy.
"Thla complaint must end sometime.
I sea no other way for eliminating It
than organising ourselves to furnish
water traffic There should be suffi
cient sentiment here to compel proper
support of fair steamer service. Un
less we can develop such sentiment,
we can never get or hold adequate
water transportation. With us today,
facing so many difficulties. It Is of
tha utmost Importance. In fact, when
a ateamer Una Is given, if It wore of
fered remunerative traffic at once, the
reateat possible incentive would be
had for others to follow In all lines of
service. This alone would be worth
much to os, perhaps obviate tha neces
sity of the community having to em
bark extensively In steamship owner

The chief would not go Into details
