UNCI
t LIKELY TO
APPROVE SWAN PLAN
Btit Few Minor Changes Ex
pected to Be Made.
VOTERS HAVE FINAL SAY
Electorate of State Most Sanction
Port Development Scheme to
Slake It Workable.
General approval of the Swan Isl
and development plan will be give
unanimously by the city council, it i
believed. Some amendments in. con
nection with minor details probably
will be suggested, but all members o
the council now stand In general fa
vor of carrying the project to success,
Before such aDoroval 13 riven, now
ever, the council will conduct one
more public hearitiES. and it is also
nrobable that the council will meet
in joint conference with members o
the committee of 15 to discuss pos
sable amendments.
Voters Most GIt Approval.
Although Mavor Baker and other
members of the council are not in
clined to be hasty in passing finally
on the plan, the work of investigating
and checking up on the various de
tail will not be delayed, it has been
announced. To carry the plan into
fferf will reauira not only the ap
proval of the voters of Multnomah
county, but must also be submitted to
the voters of the state.
Approval of the electorate of the
tate must be obtained to amend the
present acts relating to the Port of
Portland, which under the proposed
xiiati would absorb the commission of
Yiiihlif rinoks.
The original act creating the Port
tit Portland and amendments passed
by the state legislature from time to
time are in a highly conrusea m
fracmentary state. By the original
acts the powers granted were con
ttnrA in drcdcinir and channel main
tenance in the Willamette and Colum
bia rivers. By various amendatory
arm authority was Eiven to maintain
pilotage service at the mouth of the
Columbia river, to provide towage, to
rnnirurt and maintain a drydock to
ontahlish coal bunkers, and to grant
bonuses for the purpose of relieving
against inequalities existing in favor
of competitive ports.
Port Body Iteatrieted.
The port commission has, however,
heen closely restricted in the exer
cise of the taring power and in the
matter of issuing bonds. Neverthe
less, as early as 1309 a general port
act was passed by the legislature,
which, by later amendments, provided
for the organization or municipal
rnrnnral inna similar to the Port of
Portland but with vastly greater
powers. The most notable exercise of
authority under this general port act
has been made by the port or As
toria, which has assumed and exer
cised most of the powers granted by
the act. The development accom
nlinhrri hv the Dort of Astoria has
been made possible by two clauses.
Under the general port act the port
of Asto'ria has been authorized to ac
quire extensive tracts of waterfront
property and to prepare such tracts
for industrial and commercial devel
opment, and by the same act the port
has been authorized to provide funds
lor such purposes.
By the general port act, the provi
sions of which have been made avail
able to the port of Astoria, and to
such ports as Tillamook, Coos Bay
and Siuslaw, authority is granted to
issue bonds to an amount equal to
3 0 per cent of the assessed valuation
of the property within the territorial
limits of the port.
Powers Are Enlarged,
At the special session of the legis
lative assembly of the state, held last
January, an act was passed granting
to the Port of Portland all powers
now neld by ports organized under the
general law, but subject to the pro
viso that no authority to borrow
money should be assumed in the ab
sence of local demand therefor and
that the powers of the ports organ
ized under the general law to issue
bonds should not be exercised by the
Tort of Portland.
The plan proposed by the commit
tee of 15 recommends that the legis
lative authority be sought from the
voters of the state to enable the Port
of Portland to issue bonds for pur
poses within its existing powers to
the extent of 5 per cent of the as
sessed valuation of the property
within its territorial limits, which
is one-half of the bond limit on the
norm of Astoria. Tillamook, Coos
Bay and Siuslaw.
Indorsement Is GiTea.
Complete approval of the Swan Isl
and proposal as outlined in tne re
port of the committee of 15 is given
Kv itv Attorney I .a Roche, who. as
attorney for the commission of public
docks, has been in close touch with
port development and the needs ol
Portland to make it a commercia
center.

Portland Bnstneaa GaJna.
"Portland is now showing wonder
ful gains in her sea business, most of
which would bare been quite impos
sible if the commission of public
docks ha failed to construct munici
pal terminal No. 4. formerly known
as St. Johns terminal.
"The establishment of new ship
lines between world ports is of almost
daily occurrence. We are in the
formative period and no time should
be lost in thoroughly preparing this
port for the expansion of overseas
business, which is certain to occur.
Only those ports which possess suf
ficient foresight and courage to meet
the needs of commerce will secure the
vast benefits that come from this
business.
"It will be at least five or six years
before this project can be fully de
veloped, and no time should be lost
in making a proper beginning.
"It should be a matter of real grati
fication to all of the citizens of Port,
land to realise that the shipping in

"If it had not been for Tanlac I
would still be a sick woman, so I feel
like I ought to tell everyone what this
wonderful medicine has done for me,"
was the sincere statment made re
cently by Mrs. R. T. Butts, 19:i Troost
Avenue, Kansas City, Mo.
"By the help of Tanlac. I have got
ten rid of a severe case of nervous in
digestion that had made my life miser
able for the past two years. I could
not eat anything without suffering
afterward. The gas on my stomach
would rise up into my chest and
press on my heart and at times would
almost cut off my breath. My nerves
were so up-set that the least irncx-
pected noise would almost distract
me. I seldom slept well and was so
nervous I would often roll and toss
until after midnight and what little
sleep I did get seemed to do me no
good. I was also a great sufferer
from headaches and would often get
so dizzy I would have to hold on to
something to keep from falling.
"One day I happened to see a test!
monial for Tanlac, describing a case
like mine, so I bought a bottle and be
fore I had finished it I began to feel
lust like a different person. Those
terrible headaches disappeared and
my appetite returned. When my first
bottle was gone I got another and I
kept on improving until now I can
cat just anything I want and I never
suffer any more from indigestion. I
am not the least bist nervous and rest
well at night and never know what it
is to have a headache or a dizzy spell.
"Tanlac has not only relieved me'of
my suffering, but I have actually
gained 20 pounds in weight and have
not enjoyed such good health for
years. Tanlac is certainly a wonder
ful medicine and I will always feel
grateful for what it has done for me.
I want to recommend this medicine to
all my friends because I believe it will
benefit anyone who is suffering as 1
did."
Tanlac Is sold in Portland by the
Owl Drug Co. Adv.

exchange has cheered local orchad-
ists who have shipped .Newtowns to
Kngland.
