DOCK CONDEMNED
TO BE TORN DOWN
Portland Seed Company's
Protest Not Allowed.
CONTRACT LONG DELAYED
Public Dock Commission Unani
mously Denies Elliott & Scog
gin's Request for More Time.
The commission of public docks,
acting- on the recommendation of the
waterfront investigation committee,
yesterday morning condemned the
dock of the Portland Seed company,
at the foot of Tamhill street. In ac
cordance with the ruling of the com
mission, the structure will have to be
torn down. Similar action was taken
once before by the commission, but
the condemnation order was suspend
ed on protest of the owners of the
property, until a second examination
of the dock could be made.
As the result of this second exam
ination, it was reported by the en
gineers that the dock, which now
carries no load, would probably col
lapse if loaded even moderately. No
shipping has been conducted from
the dock for several years.
Contractors Aalc Extension,
A controversy arising from the fail
ure of Klliott & Scoggin. contractors,
to complete the extension of pier No.
1 and the construction of pier No. 2
at municipal terminal No. A within the
time specified in their contract will
be settled at an adjourned meeting of
the commission at 11 o'clock tomor
row morning.
W. C. Elliott, one of the partners of
the contracting firm, appeared before
the commission and asked for an ex
tension of time under his contract.
After looking up the records, which
showed that this firm has already
been granted extensions amounting to
five months on a job that according
to the original contract was to have
been finished in five months, the com
mission voted unanimously to deny
Elliott's request for a further exten
sion. Controversy to Be Threshed Oat.
Mr. Elliott was directed to appear
before the commission again Friday
morning with his bankers for a full
threshing-out of the controversy. J.
M. Dougan, contractor for the con
struction of conveyor sheds and pier
galleries at terminal No. 4, has also
been granted several extensions of
time on his claim that his work was
delayed by the failure of Elliott &
Scoggin to complete their portion of
the structure. Mr. Dougan will also
be asked to appear before the com
mission tomorrow.
F. I. Randall, assistant secretary of
the commission, was authorized at his
own suggestion to negotiate with the
railroad companies with a view to
action by the commission in taking
over the switching operations at
terminal No. 4. According to Mr.
Randall's recommendation, the switch
ing and spotting of cars can be per
formed more economically and effi
ciently by means of the locomotive
' now operated at the terminal by the
dock commission than by depending
on the railroad companies lor this
service.
A letter received by the commission
from George R. Funk, city auditor,
stated that the municipal bureau of
public works has completed arrange
ments for the improvement of Jersey
street in St. Johns and other streets
leading to terminal No. 4. Commis
sioner F. C. Knapp supplemented this
information with the report that this
work is already under way.

BOARD OF 7 SUGGESTED
y. Would Be Permanent and
Devote Special Attention to
Developing Trade Routes?
WASHINGTON. April 14. A pro
vision f that merchant craft owned by
the government shall be disposed of
to private interests within 10 years
8 contained in the merchant ma
rine policy bill virtually completed
today by the senate subcommittee, to
which the task was referred. It will
be reported soon to the full com
merce committee, which held ex
tensive hearings before Senator Jones,
republican, Washington, who was ap
pointed by the subcommittee to draft
policy bill.
The measure differs widely from
the merchant marine bill passed by
the house. It provides for a perma
nent shipping board of seven instead
of five members, the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts to be represented by
two members each, the gulf and great
lakes by one each and the seventh
member to be a man from the in
terior. The board would be directed
specifically to devote special atten
tion to development of new trade
routes.
Defease Need Cited.
In stating a government shipping
policy, the bill asserts that "it is
necessary for the national defense and
for the proper growth of our for
eign and domestic commerce that the
United States shall have an American
merchant marine of the best equipped
and most suitable type of ships suf
ficient to carry the greater portion of
its commerce and serve as a naval or
military auxiliary in. time of war or
national emergency, ultimately to be
owned and operated privately by-
American citizens."
It further declared it to be the
policy of the United States to "do
whatever may be necessary to de
velop and encourage the maintenance
of such a merchant marine and in
the disposition of ships and shipping
property as hereinafter provided, in
the making of rules and regulations
and in the administration over ship
ping laws this purpose and object
should always be kept in view by the
United States shipping board as the
primary end to Je attained."
Tax Exemption Provided.
To stimulate the merchant marine.
the bill exempts profits of American
shipowners derived from foreign
trade from all federal excess profits
taxes for a period of ten years, pro
vided an equivalent sum shall be
used by such owners in the building
of new tonnage in American ship
yards of government vessels pur
chasers would be permitted to charge
off 10 per cent of the net earnings
of such vessels as depreciation.
The shipping board would 'be given
authority to. take possession of all
docks, warehouses, wharves and ter
minal equipment acquired under war
legislation and which includes the
German-owned piers in Hoboken. N.
J used as transport docks. The
board also would be directed to de
termine the need for ships between
the ocean terminal of the government
railroad in Alaska and other ports
and if necessary to furnish . "suit
able service until the same can be
taken over and supplied by private
capital and enterprise. "Adequate
seFvice to insular possessions." at
reasonable rates" is also provided for
in the same way.
THE ANGELES ENDS LOADING
Steamer to Inaugurate North China
Line Service;
The steamer The Angeles, inaugu
rating the Columbia-Pacific Shipping
company's North China line, finished
loading yesterday evening at the Pen
insula Lumber company's mill, and
will go down the river today. She is
carrying a full cargo of lumber.
A change in the sailing schedule
as published by the Columbia-Pacific
may become necessary because of the
fact that the steamer West Keats,
listed for the third sailing in the new
line, is now expected to reach this
port' ahead of the West Navaria,
slated for the second sailing.
The steamer West Cohakla, man
aged by the Columbia-Pacific for Sud
den & Christenson, should reach
Portland about Wednesday or Thurs
day of next week to load lumber for
the Pacific Export Lumber company
to north China ports.

HALF-BILLION BILL
WILL AID SOLDIERS
H a w I e y Sub - Committee
Agrees on Farm Measure.
TEN-YEAR FUND PROPOSED
Three Classes of Lands to Be Made
Habitable for Soldiers, Sailors
and Marines Under Plan.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington. April 14. An appropria
tion of $500,000,000 for soldiers' farm
settlements is recommended by the
sub-committee of the ways and means
committee, of which Representative
Hawley of Oregon is chairman.
The Hawley sub-committee reached
an agreement today on a bill which
in most respects is identical with the
advance information carried in these
dispatches last Sunday. A report will
be made to the full ways and means
committee at once.
Parma la Three Classes.
The 1500,000,000 appropriation would
become available at the rate of 50.
000,000 a year for ten years. Thi
money would be expended in provid
ing three classes of farms for former
soldiers, sailors and marines. One
type of settlement would be on arid
lands of the west reclaimed by irr.
gation, another on lands reclaimed by
drainage, which might be in any sec
tion ' of the country where swamp
lands are available. Another would
be on abandoned areas largely in the
east, capable of development.
The purpose of the eub-commlttee
plan is to make projects available in
most of the states.
Bonn for Flusters Only.
Men who were on detached service,
though regularly enlisted in the army
but receiving more than soldier's pay,
will not benefit under bonus legisla
' tion, according to a decision reached
today by the sub-committee having
in charge cash bonus and taxation
features of the proposed soldier's re
lief legislation. This would bar from
cash bonus benefits all the large num
ber of enlisted men who served in the
Spruce Production division in the
isortnwest or who took employment
in ship yards at civilian, pay instead
of joining the active fighting forces.
Members of congress have been
somewhat annoyed the last few days
by threatening telegrams received
from former veterans who apparently
acted without the sanction of the
American Legion or other soldier or
ganizations. These telegrams, nwiiy
of them being identical, say "We have
started a state-wide campaign to de
feat for congress any man who does
not favor relief compensation for sol
diers." WILBUR IS 1 PAROLE

by Judge Campbell.
OREGON CITY, April 14. (Special.)
Julius Wilbur, who was convicted
December 18, 1916, on a charge of
bootlegging and sentenced to serve
six months in the county jail, and
who has been fighting the sentence
since that time, received a parole to
day from Judge Campbell. Wilbur
had served two days of the sentence
when the parole was granted.
Wilbur was proprietor of the Friars
club at Milwaukie and- was convicted
three times for selling liquor. On the
third conviction he got six months'
jail sentence and a fine of $300. He
appealed' to the supreme court, where
the conviction was confirmed. He
then appealed to the supreme court
of the United States, where the case
was dismissed.
When the order of dismissal was
handed down District Attorney
Hedges asked for a bench warrant
for Wilbur, who had left the state.
At the same time Mr. Hedges asked
for the forfeiture of Wilbur's bonds
of $1000, which request was granted.
Wilbur was located at Oakland, Cal.
and was arrested on telegraphic or
ders from the Clackamas county of
ficers and returned.

An Excellent Time to
Cleanse the System of the
- Little Pain Demons.
While nature is engaged in her an
nual housecleaning. .endeavoring to
eliminate from the system the Impuri
ties that have been accumulating dur
ing the winter season, victims of
Rheumatism will find that this is a
very favorable time to rout from the
blood the millions of tiny germs that
cause this, painful disease.

!
On the streets every day you' see
the results of improper and misdi
rected treatment. Tou see victims of
tl.ip painful and di.ao!ing disease,
limping through life, their limbs bent
and stiff and their oodles, tortureu
with aching joints, until you wonder
how they can bear 10 much contin
ued suffering.
If you are beginning to feel the
first slight touches of Rheumatism,
there is Just as much, pain and suf
fering ahead of you. if you follow
blindly in the same misdirected .toot
steps of unintelligent treatment. For
remember that all these thousands
of victims of this painful disease have
spent countless hours no doubt, as
well as their heard-earned dollars in
a vain effort to find a cure.
And your own experience will be
lust as disappointing as theirs, if
you follow the old. worn-out and
worthless methods of treatment.
The whole trouble is that the rymp
toms of the disease are being treate.I,
and not the disease itself. When you
realize that you must get rid of the
cause of Rheumatism, and that its
torturing pains will disappear when
their cause is removed, then you will
be on the right track, and there is a
Disinfection
Cheaper than Sickness
An obvious fact, yet how many people con
tinue to ignore the daily and deadly menace
of insistent, untiring disease germs.
In the absence of disinfection, germ life
breeds, thrives and spreads amazingly if we
could see it at its daily work the sight would
be terrifying. . -
That's why the invisibility of germ life makes
the menace doubly dangerous people forget
its existence until a serious contagious disease
overtakes someone near and dear. .And then
the realization comes too late. As a precau-
tion, use
a "tM or t
No germ life can exist where Lysol Disin
fectant is present.
It kills disease germs at the moment of appli

Use Lysol Disinfectant at home and in the

might lurk or be created is wise precaution
against serious illness.
