Recommendations as to Accommo

Park Will Be Made.
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. This movement will prooa
biy require suggestions as to needed
legislation to enable the forest service
to acquire lands desired, or under
which municipalities and the state may
act.
In regard to the invitation extended
by the United States chamber of com
merce for Portland business men to be
come Interested in and aid in financing
the plans for a building at wasmng
ton. D. C, a committee will be ap
pointed to act. All of the committees
will be named by President Corbett.

labor shortage in Salem is keenly felt

and other municipal worn are nns uc

Low is advertising for men at a wage
of $4 a day, but to dale only a tew
applications for work have been filed

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.
The Oregon Dairy council will also
make extensive educational exhibits at
the Multnomah County Fair and Manu
facturers' and Land Products show at
Gresham September 15-20. Mrs. How
ard Hammond of the Oregon Agricul
tural college will be in charge of the
exhibit, which will be arranged to
demonstrate in an illustrative way the
food value of milk and dairy products.
Novel displays will be made by indi
viduals and manufacturers. A special
booklet will be issued under direction
of E. C. Callaway, city milk chemist.
The same exhibit will be shown at the
Oregon State fair at Salem, September
22-27.
W. K. Aevrell Heads Committee.
Another and equally attractive ex
hibit will be made at the Pacific Inter
national Livestock exposition November
11-17, when the council will assist

under the direction of Professor Carl
Mullen of the Washington State Agri
cultural college.
W. K. Newell was appointed chair
man of the committee to have general
charge of the arrangements for the

bers of the committee and will have
the united support of the members of

A. L. Haley's Claim for $200 in Con
nection With Plant Location
Stirs Up Opposition.
VANCOUVER. Wash., Aug. 20. (Spe
cial.) Presentation by A. L. 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.
Commissioners Floyd Swan and W. F.
Edwards voted in favor of the allow
ance. According to Commissioner McCoy,
$2000 of the $11,000 which was raised
by local citizens for the purpose of in
ducing the products company to come
to this city is to go to Mr. Haley for
services rendered in locating the com
pany in this city and supervising the
filling of the site.
Mr. Haley stated today that the
$2000 which he is to receive from the
Daly Clay Products company is not
to be paid to him until their plant is
completed, and that the money is for
services for drawing up new plans for
the plant, which were necessitated .by
the removal by the company of its
plant to this city from Molalla, Or.

LONDON. 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.
