Approval of the suggestion that a committee visit Crater lake, made by the business men of Portland who con ferred with Stephen T. Mather, di rector of national parks, was given yesterday by the directors of the Port land Chamber of Commerce. H. L. Cor bett, president, was authorized to ap point a committee of three or four members to immediately visit the park and determine what is necessary for the accommodation of visitors and make recommendations of a plan for the execution of their conclusions. The directors of the chamber were in accord with the spirit of the movement to provide accommodations that will take care of the increasing travel to that marvelous natural attraction. The committee will also be enabled after making the trip to pass upon the necessity for hastening road improve ments that will make the nignways comparable with the best leading to other parks of the country in conjunc tion with the programme for the park-to-park highway system, of the federal government. Appointment of another committee was authorized to act in formulating plans for acquiring natural wooded areas contiguous to the highways and to confer with the officials of the for t service, the state highway commis sion and other bodies having control of such lands.

Low is advertising for men at a wage of $4 a day, but to dale only a tew applications for work have been filed with the department. Directors of the Oregon Dairy coun cil, at their regular monthly meeting yesterday, decided to meet in conference with the executive committee of the Oregon Bankers' association to arrange for extension of credits by banks to enable dairymen to improve their herds by the addition of pure-bred stock. It is also proposed to ODlain credit to add new herds and- swell the production of milk. It was agreed that the shortage of the milk supply can be overcome only by inducing farmers who have pas turage or are growing feed through the dry season to stock up their places with high-grade milch cows. Many farmers, it was said, are deterred only by lack of financial ability to secure the live stock. The movement is in accord with the attitude of the bankers when, at their last annual convention, they went on record as favoring a movement to stimulate Increased production on Ore gon farms. Dairymen anticipate ready co-operation. Dairy Council to Exhibit.

Haley, former architect for the United States shipping board, of a bill for $1000 for services said to have been rendered the port commission of Vancouver, as an engineer, in connection with the location in this city of the Daly Clay Products company and the dredging and filling for a site, precipitated a storm at the meeting of the commis sion last night. , George McCoy, a member of the com mission, objected to the payment of the bill, contending that Haley never had been employed by the port com mission and that his services should be paid for by the products company. ine Din was allowed for 600, being figured as compensation for four mouths' services at ?150 per month.

Aug. 20. (Special cable.) American cotton men who have been In Germany aiid have Just returned to London, en route home, told the World and Oregonian correspondent that in Bremen and Hamburg German business men are straining to the utmost to ar range credits for American cotton. Six Bremen business men were able to provide a $5,000,000 credit for cot ton, 30,000 bales of which will soon be shipped. It is thought they mort gaged their spinning works to obtain raw cotton for manufacturing pur poses. These Americans returned from Ger many with the conviction that the ma jority of the people are determined once more to place the fatherland on Its feet. As compared with labor troubles in the allied countries, resulting in a reduced output, it is stated that Ger man workers in Bremen and Hamburg are willing to work nine and ten hours daily to give once more their country a chance to regain her position among the world nations. The first cargo of American cotton was unloading at Hamburg when these cotton men were there. It represented $2,500,000. Knowing that cotton will not be obtainable until reliable credits are found, German financiers are form ing groups to obtain it. Potash, which is needed by cotton growers in the Carolinas and some other states. probably will be exported in exchange for cotton. German manufacturers also are reported as not losing a minute's time in getting representatives started out for world trade. The American cotton men met a number of them en route to neutral and allied countries to sell at low cost whatever goods they could find a market for, and hoping that Amer ica would be one of their best customers. W. C. Cooper, one cotton exporter who has just reached London from a continental trip, said: "If Europe could . provide sufficient' credits for the cotton needed, there is every probability that cotton woiiTB reach 50 cents a pound. Europe wants more cotton than we can supply. 1 have traveled from Italy to Holland and it. is the same tale everywhere. They want cotton. "It will be Impossible to-fill our own demands and meet anything like the European demand. Cooper and other cotton men report that Dutch interests are buying Ameri can cotton and reselling it to Germany at higher rates. Being close at hand they are enabled to keep a closer su pervision upon goods exported into Germany and arrange for collection. GAVIOTs., Aus. 20. Sailed yesteaaay. steam.r W. F.
