PORTLAND' WILL BE SITE Directors, of Pacific International Livestock Exposition Decide to Inaugurate Campaign. Directors of the Pacific International Livestock Exposition, in session yester day, decided upon a campaign for fi nancing: the plans for the erection of a suitable building to house the annual show. It is the desire to make Port land the permanent headquarters for the show, as it is the leading livestock center of the Pacific Coast, and this will be done if the people of Portland finance a proper share of the under taking. O. M. Plummer, general manager, had prepared for the consideration of the directors plans for the proposed build ings and estimates as to the probable cost of construction. That it will re quire at least $250,000 to make ade quate preparation for housing the 1919 show was his estimate, and it is prefer able that a larger sum be provided. Big; Structure Proposed. The plans contemplate a building that will cover seven and one-half acres of ground, occupying a plot of 15 acres of ground that will allow a space as large as that improved for parking automobiles. The building would in clude an amphitheater 200x300 feet, with a show ring 100x200 feet and with seat ing capacity for 8000 persons. The beef-breed cattle division would be 200x314 feet, to accommodate 800 head of cattle, with a similar division for dairy cattle. A section 154x256 would serve for the showing of draft horses, accommodating 400 head. A section 154x350 would be provided for the breeding-sheep division and one of like dimensions for hogs. The cost for the building, exclusive of the grounds, would be $250,000. Definite selection of the site has not been made. Plans were approved by the directors for launching an immediate publicity drive in the state outside of Portland, in Washington, Idaho and California to raise a fund, the minimum amount of which will not be less than $150,000. Jt is expected to finish the outside drive within two or three weeks and that on the last week of February or the first week in March the drive will be put on In Portland, under the. direc tion of the Portland Ad Club, to dupli cate the amount. Levy Will Be Urged. Directors of the exposition will go to Salem today to urge upon the joint ways and means committee favorable consideration of Senate bill No. 118, providing for a one-thirtieth mill levy to aid the annual exhibitions as a means of promoting interest in the livestock industry and developing bet ter animals. Stockmen of Oregon are behind the measure, say the directors. Those who were present at the ses sions of the directors held in the green room of the Chamber of Commerce were: Frank Brown, president. Carl ton; William Pollman, vice-president. Baker; F. M. Rothrock. Spokane: A. D. Vunn, Wapato, Wash., and the follow ing from Oregon points: Professor E. 1... Porter, Corvallis: H. C. Brown. C. D.

Victor L. Bingham, only Tacoman in the "lost battalion," which held off the Huns for four days in Argonne wood before heHp came, is home. He arrived at Camp Lewis yesterday and is still suffering from two wounds. He is proud of his unit and Major Whittlesey, who, when asked to surrender, told the Huns to go to hell. Mr. Bingham laid for four days in a hole barely large enough to cover his body while machine-gun bullets spattered dirt upon him. "The finest sight I ever hope to see was our boys coming to us with sup plies," said Bingham. "After holding Jerry off four days with our rifles we surely were joyful to get reinforce ments and food." REDUCTION DOESN'T SCARE San Francisco Bids for Ships Rather Than Freight,' Belief. TACOMA. Wash., Feb. 5. (Special.) Tacoma port and steamship officials see no menace in San Francisco's re duction of port chargres. E. H. Hall, assistant to the president of the Pa cific Steamship Company, believes that San Francisco is making a bid for ships rather than freight and that the saving of a day and a half from the Orient to the North Coast by a swing over the great circle will more than offset any advantage San Francisco may have by cutting off port charges. Iocking at Tacoma wharves is free. as they are all handled in connection with rail carriers. The newly organ ized Port Commission plans to meet further competition which may arise either in the channel or against cargo in the shape of terminal charges. Marine Xotes. The Government dredge Clatsop, which is operated on the estuary of the Columbia River, has arrived at the Ltnnton moorings to undergo an overhauling. She will be out of service about a month. Annua.) inspection of the steamer Julia F. took place at Astoria yesterday under the direct! on of United Statea Steam vessel Inspectors Edwards and Wynn, and the in spection of the new steamer West Corum was continued here. T. T. Smith has been igned as master ot the steamer Ruth, the former master of which was M. C.

"Commodore" Montgomery, of the Custom house force, has been enlisted to assist in a search for John Selfars. formerly a fireman on a deepwater vessel, who was reported here a few weeks ago as having been in the Army. His brother. Charles SeJfars, of Fenn, Idaho, is endeavoring to ascertain his whereabouts. On the steamer Anyox. which was cleared yesterday for Balboa, was a lumber cargo measuring 700.000 feet and valued at $.11, 310. which is destined for Balboa for the use of the Government. The vessel also has aboard 10 coils of hemp line, loaded at Seattle, and valued at $:!90O. The Anyox will tow rne British bark Baroda from the Columbia River to the Canal and back to Seward, Alaska. Robert "vV'arrack. superintendent of the 5 7th lighthouse district, yesterday made a "dry land" inspection of a lighted naviga tion aid near Cascade Locks, the trip being undertaken in an automobile.

STEAMERS CARRY FLOUR Transportation to the Atlantic Coast Considered. STEEL TONNAGE IS LIMITED M. II. Houscr and J. V. Ganon; At tend Conference at Washington on Feasibility of New Plan. The use of wooden steamers as flour carriers, because of the limited amount of steel tonnage available is being considered by the Food Administration, according to reports filtering through from the Kast. and the division of oper ation of the Shipping Board is ready to assign vessels as rapidly as needed for the purpose. A few of the wooden fleet are laid up here now because shippers are not in clined to pay the Government charter rates. The ships would be available immediately for flour .business, while each week more of the carriers are being completed. Both wooden steam ers of the Emergency fleet Corpora tion and wooden steam auxiliary schooners built for the French govern ment by the Foundation Company have carried flour from Portland and. ac cording to reports, the cereal product has been handled in a satisfactory manner. The Seattle shipyard strike, due to be extended today to a general strike, is regarded as a condition that will cur tail the production of vessels on Puget Sound, and, with those yards unable to add more steel tonnage to the fleet, the expectation is that the wooden steamers will be used to relieve the flour situation. Flour can be transported at least to the Atlantic Coast, shippers say, and there it can be reloaded on vessels for delivery in Europe. M. H. Houser, president of the Portland Flouring Mills Company, and .vice-president of the Food Administration Grain Cor poration, and J. W. Ganong. vice-president of the Portland Flouring Mills Company, have been in the East for ihe past two weeks. They attended meet ings at Washington, where it - is re ported the proposal to load the wood en steamers with flour was considered. MATE OF DCMAKU IS OX TRIAL, Inspectors to Decide Charges of Al leged Misconduct. Final consideration of charges made by members of the crew of the lost wood .steamer Dumaru, destroyed by lightning near Guam October 16. that Ahdy Nolan, third mate, was guilty of negligence in refusing to load as many of the crew in the lifeboat lie had charge of as had been permitted to get aboard other boats from the ship will be given today. Portland survivors who have ap peared before United States Steam vessel Inspectors Edwards and Wynn include M. W. Metcalf, Sandford Jen nings, Ralph Burns. Theron Bean and Claude Banfield. The inspectors have allowed until today for more witnesses to be called and if none appear it is ex pected a decision will be announced. Some say that Nolan"s boat was well provisioned' and that if more men had been carried there would have been less suffering. The Dumaru was one of the wood steamers turned out by the Grant Smith-Porter Ship Company. SWEDE WANTS TO GO HOME Citizenship Application Recalled rn Preference to Enlisting. First of 97 varieties of aliens to re quest permission to leave the United States after having declined to under take military duties, though possessed of their first papers In connection with application to become citizens, is Albtn Svenson, a native of Sweden. He has taken steps before R. P. Bontam. United States immigration inspector, to be given a passport and the matter is to be referred to the State Department. Svenson declared his intention of be coming a citizen in November, 1916, and in September, 1918, is shown to have withdrawn his application, the reason advanced being that he did not care to perform military service. Now, h narrates, he wants to return to Sweden to live. In the opinion of the immi gration officials there will be no ma terial obstacles placed in the way of the applicant making a speedy and straight journey toward the land of his birth. COLD RAIX CURTAILS LABOR Threatening Aspect in Early Morn ing Prompts Men to Lay Off. - Cold rain falling early yesterday morning drew for some of the men at the Vancouver wooden shipyard of the G. M." Standifer Construction Corpora tion a holiday, as Theodore Knudson, manager of the plant, said he deter mined it was best to lay off thework ers compelled to be in the open and only retain such of the force as had duties under shelter. Some of the boilermakers at the steel plant also found the early morn ing downpour not conducive to the best work, so "called jt a day." It was denied that the men quit because of any friction. At the steel plant it is said the failure of the Emergency Fleet Corporation to authorize the con struction of a shelter for men working on tanks - was responsible for the boilermakers laying off. ARMV MEN RETURN TO PLANTS Standifer Steel Yard Numbers 400 Soldiers Among- Builders. Of approximatsly 2800 men cn the payroll of the G. M. standifer Construc tion Corporation in the Vancouver steel shipbuilding plant about 400 ot them are ex-soldiers, according to a check made by Harry Burke, editor of Over the Top, the Standifer weekly. All of the men have not been over seas, but the rule at the Standifer yard is to give former employes posi tions as they are discharged from the service, while many others have been employed as they applied when addi tional help was required. In shipyards generally the men coming back from war duties are afforded opportunity to resume their former employment and virtually every branch of the Army is represented among the maritime con struction forces. ORIENTAL SHIPMENTS MOVING Portland Routes Cargo Via Other Harbors to Far East. Products manufactured In Portland are moving to the Orient by way of San Francisco and Puget Sound, say shippers, who are anxious that steps for the establishment of a Far East ern Bteamship service from this port be hurried. At the office of A. O. Andersen & WOODEN MAY Co. it Is said there Is a considerable amount of cargo originating in Port land, principally manufactured wares. That firm has been concerned In mar kets across the Pacific for some timr and. had it not been for the entrance of the United States into the war against Germany, would probably have been successful In placing steamers on the run from Portland. Other firms have been making a check on the amount of freight pros pective from Portland, and 'they report a demand for Oriental products exists that would help to a marked degree in making up cargoes bound this way.

Reports from the South Sea Islands received In Seattle recently stated that many deaths bad oc curred among the natives. To exclude alien enemies and to preserve the state fishery for the benefit of Ameri can citizens. Including returned soldiers, is one of the objects of the new fisheries code prepared by U H. Darwin, State Fish Com missioner. In his opinion the new code should be entitled "An act to save the great fishing industry of Washington and to save It for American citizens." It is claimed that during the war mors than half of the fishing of the Puget Sound was In the hands of the Austrian alien enemies. TACOMA, Wash.. Feb. 8. (Special.) With a general strike situation acute in manufacturing plants here, shipping men are speculating as to what is going to hap pen to the shipping due in this port. It is believed that unless Seattle influences In tcrfcro vessels will be handled here by the longshoremen, who have voted in opposi tion to a general strike. Tacoma water front workers recently signed an agreement that is satisfactory to them and whey claim they will Mick to the Job. There are several Osaka Shosen Kaisba vessels due within a few days.

The five-masted schooner Bright. Captain Enonscn, arrived from Tacoma today with some of the sails gone and rigging dam aged as a result of a series of storms off the northern coast. The vessel Is leaking and will receive repairs before proceeding to Buenos Ayrcs. One of the immediate effects of the slash ing in ocean freight rates Is that sailing vessels are expected to go begging In the near future. This was Indicated here today when Walter Srammell made an of fer of only $10,000 for the schooner Oakland, which is now en route to this port ers accepted a deposit, and f the vessel arrives without a mishap the deal will prob ably go through.

IDAHD RADICALLY State Cabinet of Nine Men Is Created to Run Things. HOUSE PASSES SENATE BILL Administration Consolidation Mcas. ure Goes Through by Large Ma jority; Governor "Will Sign. BOISE. Idaho, Feb. 5. (Special.) Idaho's form of state government was radically changed today, when the House of Representatives passed Sen ate bill No. 19. the administration con solidation measure, one of the most important acts that has been before a Legislature since Idaho was admit ted into the Union. The Republican majority engineered the passage "by a vote of 43 to 17 after amendments were adopted eliminating from the jurisdiction of the measure the Public Utilities Commission, the Industrial Accident Board, the State Fish and Game Department, the state mine Inspector and all advisory boards except the one attached to the Depart ment of Agriculture. Governor Will Men. Governor Davis will sign the measure after the Senate concurs in the amend ments. On March 31 the act will go into effect- All existing statutory commis sions and boards except those named will then go out of existence and In their place will come a cabinet of nine heads of as many departments, under whicb will be consolidated present de partments. These commissioners will be paid $3600 per annum and will "be appointed by and be directly responsi ble to the Governor. The Legislature heard a strong plea from a delegation of the Washington Legislature urging appointment of a commission similar to the one created in Washington, with sufficient appro priation to care for returning soldiers, to see that they are given employment, thereby co-operating and co-ordinating with Oregon and Washington. Wash I sgton Delegation Heard. The delegation wu composed of Senator T. I). Armstrong. Senator A. K. Judd, Representatives W. W. Connor and Maurice Smith. The Legislature met in joint session In the afternoon to hear their message. They left shortly afterwards for Helena. Mont., to address the Legislature of that state along the same lines. That labor must be given to those in need of tt, and public improvements of all kinds is one of the meduma for supplying it, was the statement of these solons. Washington, they said, was going to forget taxation and ap propriate large sums for all state in stitutions. Including the erection of a new capitol building. Grate Criala I Faced. "The time has come now to forget taxation," said Senator Armstrong. "The Northwest is facing the gravest crisis In its history. It Is a cancer that Is eating into the body politic." He re ferred to the Bolsheviki and I. W. W and said: "We must stamp out this damnable- regime trying to fasten It self upon us." He said that Seattle faces a general tieup Thursday through the labor strike. His- remarks were corrobor ated by the - other members of the delegation, which made a strong im pression on Idaho solons. Immediately after the joint confer ence was dissolved the House passed the Senate "Ited Flag" bill, making it a penitentiary offense to display that emblem of disloyalty in Idaho.
