PORTLAND
t' lpts J n ,i-t
Development of the Port of Fort-
land, together with the deepening of
the river channel from Portland to
the sea, so that any vessel may reach
here at any time and without diffi
culty or danger, is essential to the fu
ture industrial expansion of this city
and state, according to Mayor Baker,
who returned home yesterday from
San Francisco. During his absence he
attended the foreign trades congress
in San Francisco as a delegate.
'Portland is on the shipping map.
but this fact alone will not suffice,"
said Mayor Baker. "We have much
constructive work to do and the
quicker we do it the quicker indus
trial expansion will come.
Detenratlaa Learns Great Deal.
"The foreign trades congress in San
Francisco was the medium of expres
sion. The delegation learned a great
deal about the needs of the orient and
tif South America, and through this
information are in a position to work
for the establishment of steamship
lines from Portland direct to foreign
countries.
"The need of more American bot
toms was emphasised at the San
Francisco meeting. The fact that the
Dollar company is operating lines
from Vancouver, B. C, to China under
the British flag, carrying American
made goods which should be cleared
from ports in the United States was'
brought out before the convention.
The plan of uniting the Pacific
coast in a sort of a 'league of Western
states was suggested and enthusias
tieally received. Delegations ' from
some section of the coast would ex
plain its problems and the need of aid
from other sections. When the co
operative idea was brought forward
it was accepted as the relief needed in
bringing more business and more
shipping to the Pacific coast."
The "league of western states" is a
plan which Mayor Baker proposed
more than a year ago. Although fre
quently discusseb by organizations in
various cities of the Pacific coast, the
foreign trades congress presented the
first opportunity of outlining the plan
i detail.
Aew Linen Predicted.
Several new steamship lines from
Portland to foreign countries will be
the direct outcome of the foreign
trades congress, according to the be
lief of Mayor Baker.
I am not in a position to discuss
these proposals,' said he, "but I do
know that Portland stands in a posi
tion to gain new steamship lines as a
result of the splendid presentation of
the advantages to be obtained through
clearance in the Port of Portland as
set forth by the delegation from here.
It is unfortunate that every resi
dent of Portland could not have been
attendance at the foreign trades
congress, for It was a revelation. It
was a meeting which convinced
everyone there that foreign trade is
awaiting all who will properly look
ixter the business. Development of
the Port of Portland looms as the
most essential need."

Member of Securities Commission
Says That Some Credit Ex- '
tended Has Been Unfair.
The whys and wherefores of the
ouija board will be delved into by
Oregon physicians May 31 to June 2
at the alumni meeting of the Univer
sity of Oregon medical school. Dr. A.
A. Witham announced Wednesday at
the meeting of the City and County
ledical society.
Of course, ouija simply will be con
sidered among a number of other sci
entific Questions, for Dr. Witham an
nounced that the sessions would be
"purely scientific, with no monkey
business about them."
The doctors' society went on record
against contract physicians, discussed
fees, heard Dr. Esther Pohl Lovejoy,
examined specimens and cases and
heard a discussion on three cases con
cerning the much-press-agented pitui
tary gland.
Dr. F. R. Menne told of one case in
which a tumor on the gland had pro
duced no appreciable effect, while Dr.
William House read of two instances
in his practice, Illustrated by photo
graphs, where the gland of diminished
eize had apparently resulted in dwarf
Ism and another of an enlarged gland
which had apparently produced gt
ganticism.
Dr. House said he did not believe
the gland was the cause, but left the
members of the society to reason out
their own solution.
Dr. E. A. Sommer threw a note of
humor into the meeting by asserting
that doctors had no regular scale of
fees.
"We have a fee bill." he said, "but
It is a joke. We charge what the pa
tient can afford."

SALEM. Or., May 20. (Special.)
Because of the unfavorable condition
of the bond market at the present
time, which 1b forcing some of the
irrigation districts to dispose of their
securities at as low as 85 cents on the
dollar, coupled with the abnormal
costs1 of materials and labor, an effort
may be made by state officials to dis
courage the obligation of more credit
until such time as things return to
normal.
Percy Cupper, state engineer and
member of the state Irrigation se
curities commission, states that he
has been giving the Irrigation prob
lems serious study and that he is sat
isfied that some of the bonds have
been sold at prices unfair to the state.
"While It would be impossible for
this department to halt the organi
sation of additional irrigation dis
tricts and the subsequent sale of
bonds," said Mr. Cupper, "it would
be within our province to discourage
iuture development of this nature
until there is a revival of the bond
market. The idea of retrenchment
n irrigation development is not origi
nal with me, for I have been told by
several persons Interested In the
projects that a partial suspension of
operations lor the present would re
sult In the financial benefit of both
the districts and the state."
A fine of 100 with 20 days in jail
was meted out to Frank Ayotte, who
said he was employed at the Clark A
Wilson Lumber Co., when he appeared
In municipal court yesterday to an
swer to a charge of driving an auto
mobile while Intoxicated. Ayotte drew
,de heaviest traffic sentence of tcu
day.
The man was arrested on the slip
of the St. Johns ferry by Patrolman
Keegan after he is said to have nar
rowly avoided running down another
machine. The arresting officer re
ported that when Ayotte climbed from
his machine at the time of the arrest
be could hardly stand. Ayotte plead
guilty and will consequently have no
appeal from the sentence imposed
by Judge Rossman.
O. J. Pleinling. who was arrested
bv Motorcycle Patrolman Kelly for
driving 40 miles an hour on East
Stark street, was given 8 hours in
jail and a fine of $25.
Time Given to Think.
' The judge expressed the belief that
a man who would drive like that and
take such chances should be given a
little time to think the matter over
behind the bars.
Joe Fleher. who had received three
lessons of instruction from his auto
mobile teacher, was making his de-
but as a driver when he was arrested
on Albina avenue by Lieutenant n.r
vin on a charge of having bright
lights.
Fisher admitted to the judge that
he had bright lights but declared that
it was because he didn t know any
better.
"My teacher didn't tell me anything
about the lights and I thought the
bew thing to do was to turn them all
on. he declared.
"Don't you think that the best thing
to do would have been for you to get
a book of traffic rules and become la
miliar with them before getting an
automobile?" asked the judge.
"Yes." admitted Fisher, "but I din
not think of that."
Judge Rossman then told Fisher if
he would pay the clerk of the court
$2.50 for a book of traffic rules ne
would let him go this time.
Fisher left the court profusely
thinking the judge for his considera
tlon.
Seven drivers In all were fined for
having bright lights on their cars. In
most instances these were drivers
who failed to use the dimmer. The
majority of. the fines levied for this
offense by the judge were 10.
Lieutenant Ervin announced that
arivers would be arrested by patro-
men of the traffic bureau when
ever they failed to comply with the
traffic law governing bright lignts.
The charge of speeding against A
F. Flegel Jr.. deputy United States at
torney, was continued for sentence by
the judge. Flegel was arrested by
Motorcycle Patrolman Skoglund on
Tuesday. The officer reported that
he was driving 30 miles an hour on
Union avenue at the time.
Other traffic fines levied Included

Wednesday night at the monthly din
ner of the Portland Association
Credit men at the Hotel Benson. Th
northwest is in better condition than
some other sections of the country, h
asserted, and expressed the view that
if the banks adhere to the policy the
have adopted of extending credits
only to those whfe are entitled to
them, there is no danger in the situ

grown from less than $20,000,000,000
prior to the world war to more tha
$57,000,000,000, and that high prices

Once again we want to draw the attention of the buying public of Portland to the fact that
when the crash came, we did not have to reduce our prices
Because we had held our prices down to rock bottom in spite of every temptation to raise
them in spite of increasing cost of manufacture and raw materials in spite of our neigh
bor's prices everywhere going upwards like skyrockets.
,We saw a year ago that this very condition would happen and we did not and shall not
depart from our policy of KEEPING OUR PRICES DOWN TO ROCK BOTTOM ALWAYS.
Consequently, we can still lead all comers in price and merchandise without reducing a
single price. , i
We again assert that we have no high" prices to reduce. That is the only reason why we
are not caught in the general crash of falling markets.
