That is, the public at large firmly believes he is at his best, for since he first attracted at tention by his minor role in Frank Keenan's "The Coward" he has played nothing else but country youths, blundered and aided by great bash fulness and greater honesty. Inci dentally, it is interesting to remem ber Ray's recent announcement that he is now filming "Forty-five Min utes From Broadway," the stellar Tole which is vastly different from his rural swain interpretations. "Homer Comes Home" has another characteristic in common with each of Ray's former successes. Its com edy, which saturates the entire pro duction, is clean, wholesome and ac tually funny. The scenario is an adaptation of a story of the same name by Alexander Hull of Newberg, Or., and which was recently published in' a monthly periodical. In tune with the adolescent, spon taneity of the screen programme, the Liberty is this week offering an "at mospherlc setting" consisting of two huge books, the covers of which are entitled What a Boy Thinks" and "What a "Girl Believes" and which open upon a quaint old-fashioned lass who carols of her daddy and a farmer lad, equally pleasing, who sings of his father. mond, 104 miles from Klehmond.

The shipping board as it is now that constituted passed . the order placed Portland under the jurisdic tion of Seattle, and can modify that order just as easily, especially as no additional expense to the board is involved in what Portland asks. This reply was telegraphed by the Portland Chamber of Commerce yes terday to W. S. Benson, chairman of the shipping board, in reply to a telegraphic statement from him stat ing that he would prefer to wait until the new board is appointed before taking any action on Portland's pro test against the creation of a new northwest district of the shipping board's division of operations, with jurisdiction over Puget sound and the Columbia river and headquarters in Seattle, y In his telegram to the Chamber of Commerce, in response to protests; Admiral Benson said: "Inasmuch as the 'full- shipping board is expected soon to be appoint ed, two members of which will be from, the Pacific coast, I prefer to de fer action until that time. When the full board has been appointed I would like Portland to detail and present in writing its reasons for ob jecting to remain in the Seattle dis trict. "It is my desire to build up all Pacific coast ports without favoring one over another, ana l can assure you that Portland's protest will re ceive my sympathetic consideration." To this message H. B. Van Duxer. president of the Portland chambes, replied yesterday as follows: "Every day and week that we are left under the control of our most destructive competitor embarrasses that much the work we are trying to do to help the board operate and sell its ships. Through long and sad expecience we know the complete un fairness of this control and can see no reason why it should be forced upon us without so much as consult ing our opinion or getting our evi dence of how the plan injures con structive work. "The present board as now constl tuted issued the order and we can not understand why the game board cannot moony it especially as no additional expense to the ' board is involved In what we ask." RIVERS DECLARED ASSET DEVELOPMEXT OF WATER TRANSPORTATION" URGED.' Senator McNarr, Jn Talk lo. Ad Club, Asscras Should Utilize Resources to l-'ullcst. -Dcv-elopmcnt of water transporta tion as the greatest commercial and industrial asset of the state .was ureed bv Senator McNary in aii ad dress before the Portland Ad club at tha club's luncheon yesterday In the Benson hotel. "For too many years," said the sen ator, "we have been thinking of trans portation only in terms pf railroads. The greatest asset of Portland and of the state of Oregon as a whole is the Columbia and Willamette rivers, and he Pacific ocean. "It is a frlorlous thing that we have the richest timber tracts, the finest rult and the greatest wheat fields. but of what use are these resources f we lack the means to place our Droductsin the markets of the world. and still leave a fair margin of profit for the producer? If railroad rates are to increase bound by bound, the only solution lies In increased use of water transpor tation." - Senator JlcNary also expressed him self as a strong; advocate of municipal ownership of docks and piers, ana declared the new merchant marine aw one of tiie finest and most con structive pieces of legislation ever passed by congress. Regarding Portlands ngnt ior a 35-foot channel to the sea, he said: "Show congress that you have tne commerce and the cargoes; that you are doing all the business that can be done with a 30-foot channel, ami you will find that the 35-foot channel comes without a struggle. The gov ernment has ehown a strong inclina tion to give preference In improve ments to those ports which meet- its expenditures fifty-fifty."
