Large Industries in City Object to Restrictions and Assert Ob stacles Are Unwarranted. President Van Duaer of the Port land Chamber of Commerce yesterday amed the committee that is to in vestigate the city building code and iiake recommendations for- its modi- ication to meet tne conditions tnat will enable building construction to go ahead. The committee was appointed at he request of Mayor Baker, who de- ired the advice of a body or repre entative citizens with whom the city officials may confer in determining what course should be pursued. Attention of the chamber has been brought to the matter of what is haracterized as undue restrictions in he Portland code by the representa tives of some of the larger industries hat have been located here and have found obstacles to their building op erations not presented in other cities. While the directors are not iuiiy advised as to the situation, they have been impressed that a revision of the code may be essential to the best in- erests of the city and feel tnat it should conform tomodern standards. It is also deemed possible that the city officials having the lnterpreta- on of the code have been too severe. and if so the trouble may be reme died by more reasonable latitude in the interpretation of some of the clauses, which it is expected may be brought about as a result of the in vestigation ana, recommenaations. The members appointed to serve on the committee by President Van Du- ier are tne lonowing: Jesse -n- vunj, John F. Daly, E. H. Sensenich. George Mason, Carl Stebbinger, KoDert l. Rankin, Roy T.

Heat Loss Thought Overcome Large Increase in Many Other Districts. SPOKANE, Wash., July 29. (Spe cial.) "There will be more wheat in the four states of Washington, Ore gron, Idaho and Montana this year than there was last, according to re ports coming- to us " said F. S. Ro berts of the Northern Urain & Ware house company of Spokane today. In the Palouse country the crop is pretty good. It is fine in the Walla Walla and Pendleton districts and some of the yields around Washtucna are reported as high as 40 bushels to the acre. In the Morler and Daven port sections It may go as strong as last year. Wheat w-ill be of a better grade this year, too, than it was last year. It is running 56 to 57 pounds to the bushel. "Spring wheat around RItzville is running from 10 to 20 bushels to the acre, which is good for that dis trict. 'Montana will have a great crop. It is estimated at 30,000,000 bushels, compared with 10,000.000 bushels in 1919. Instead of feed shipments into that state this year a big crop of hay, oats and grains will be raised." Reports from parts of Lincoln, Adams, Grant and Douglas counties in Washington on the other hand, are not as good. The hot weather and hot winds have cut down the yields seriousjy. Estimates by Mr. Roberts evidently find that good yields else where will more than make up such shortages. RAIL FUNDS M SOUGHT EQUIPMENT CORPORATION IS FORMED TO FINANCE ROADS.

DEEP ENMITY IS STIRRED Congressional Probe Causing Un- easiness and Tourists Under Stricter Surveillance. TOKIO, July 29. (By the Asso ciated Press.) The Japanese govern ment has received a communication from the United States pointing out, among other things, that America is unable to recognize Japan's occupa tion of the northern half of the island of Saghalin. The Nichl Nichl says of the nature of the protest, however, that the impression exists here that the communication is not really a protest but rather an exposition of tne American viewpoint on occupa tions of Russian territory, with some thing of America's attitude towards the territory to be occupied. " is apparently leu nere tnat any publication of the details of the note should emanate from Washington and not Tokio. Meanwhile it is consid ered likely that Japan, after mature deliberation, will forward an answer to Washington in an attempt to clarify official opinion there and re move any misunderstanding of Japan s position. Appearances iere indicate that Japan is passing through another "nervous crisis" concerning her rela tions with the United States. Numer ous interpellations have been made in the diet about the American attitude, ana wniie the important newspapers are counselling their readers to keep cool, it is apparent that a certain amount of apprehension exists con cerning tne result of the congres sional inquiry in California. Among the incidents which have tended to fan ant-American feeding was the publication here of the re ports that the burning of Japanese stores in JMarysviiie, Cal., was pos slbly the act of anti-Japanese ele ments. Articles also have been printed declaring that Americans were en gaged in attempts to steal Japanese maps, and these have resulted in in creased surveillance of American tours. Generally speaking, Japan at pres ent, it is indicated in high quarters feels impelled to an effort to remove suspicions abroad that she is aggres sively militaristic, especially as re gards China and Siberia. In this con nection some public speakers and newspapers are beginning to accuse America of being a ' militaristic and warlike nation. Without knowledge of, or reference to, tne new American note, the Japa nese leaders are beginning to fear America win adopt steadfast oppo sition to Japanese expansion, which they consider legitimate and neces sary.
