IMMEDIATE ACTI0N URGED Alexander Tt. Smith Saj-s Future of rorUaad Icpnila o Sir pa Taken. TORTUXD. Feb. 19 (To the Edi tor.! aiay i oe accoraeo space for a brief diecuseion of the matter referred to In your Iradioff editorial of this morning, which is based on a sugges tion I made for Portland's benefit, responding ta an Invitation ef your Chamber of Commerce to addreaa iu pirmheraT I frit and still feel, a sincere defclre to help Portland and to help It. cpe dally, in the way of such redevelop ment of Its port and natural marine families as would help restore it not alone to Its former poaltlen among I'aciflc porta, but In a manner to bring into activity all of Its latent pos.Mblll lies. The "picture' yon present, cither of conditions as they are. In respect to ties now clothed with power to do what Portland desires done, although I think would be a splendid delegation and Ly no means a larger one than the urgency of the situation from a Na tional point of view and more parti- y from Portland's point of view. es. hat yon say Inferentially. there fore, regarding the Oregon delegation In Congress Is true, then all the more need of a supplementing demonstration and In aa extremely forceful and vivid way. of precisely what Portland and the Lower Columbia River possess In the wsy of facilities for relieving- the railroad freight congestion on this coast. It la In the bands of Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo to do exactly what Portland desires done. He is the man to see and the man to impress. In a striking manner, especially In a thorough convincing manner, with the truth that the Port of Portland and the Lower Columbia River possess pre cisely the facilities that be. as director general of the railroads of the country, should Immediately avail of. Bear in mind, the only thing that creates such a favorable situation for Portland achieving what she desires, is this acuta state of freight congestion on the Pacific. As soon as that Is relieved the difficulties of winning for Portland what Portland needs In the way ef revived port business will lapse bark Into their normal state. That this may not be soon la Portland's great present opportunity. Thst the oppor tunity should be availed of while it exists in Its present state should re quire no argument with aarone sin cere I y desirous of restoring tba port" to Portland. I have bad a great deal of personal experience with public officials In Washington and know, therefore, that nothing so greatly impresses them as the number and character of a delega tion visiting tbem and this is mora true If the merits of their case are convinc ing and the distance the delegation comes, the expense they Incur, and the earnestness and determination they show are what they should be to luxify sorh an undertaking, Unquestionably. In my Judgment. such a delegation would have brief opportunity afforded It through your Oregon congressional delegation to get your appeal directly before President Wilson. There Is no need of my attempting a recital of the basic conditions upon which Portland presents Its claim for the routing of freight to Portland and the Government in some manner ac quiring needed ships for carrying away such freight aa could be brought here to relieve the present temporary Pa cific Coast freight congestion. Yon know them thoroughly, aa do the re sponsible men In the Chamber of Com merer, who. doubtless, already have presented tbem to their senators and representatives in Congreaa and which form the basis of their appeals for such recoguition and use of Portland's port facilities as the needs of the ha tlon should compel the Government to avail of. and gladly avail of. As I see it. therefore, all that 1 necessary is that the basic fata should be presented in so complete, so Impres- Corset Cover Embroidery 17c Yd.

The other single is Dixie Roy, a singing comedienne with a smiling personality, plenty of pep and real comedy, plus pleasing songs.
