20. TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, AUGUST 27, 1920 TRAVEL FIRST DECLINE DAY OF RISE Yesterday's Trains Not Made Up in 2 and 3 Sections. TICKET LINES DWINDLE Officials Regard Falling Off Slight Lull and See Chance to Make Adjustments. TVhile trains were as heavily laden yesterday as for the two preceding days, passenger trains were not run In two and three sections. At the consolidated ticket office the clerks were relieved of the pressure that has prevailed for three weeks and a line of ticket purchasers was a rare sight. The crowds had formed lines three to five deep on preceding days. The crest of the wave of abnormal business was passed yesterday, but thousands of travelers en route from other points-were passing through the Kates at union station making trans fers between trains. In the opinion of traffic officials, based upon reports received from the operating depart ment, the slight lull will enable equip ment adjustments that will prove alike beneficial to the carriers and the public. For two weeks there has been difficulty in obtaining Pullman cars to take care of the demand, and scores of people were obliged to start long journeys in day coaches, who vainly sought any kind of sleeping car accommodations. Crowds Kalllngr Off. Departing trains "Wednesday were filled beyond the seating capacity when leaving the terminal yards, but as they proceeded the crowd dwindled. The Southern Pacific company used all available cars and had so many through passengers that many were blic to stand In the aisles on southbound trains Wednesday. Yes terday this rush was over, but be cause of heavy coastwise travel all available space was occupied. Traffic experts of the West Coast Lumbermen's association and of the Western Pino Manufacturers' associa tion have been engaged in making tabulations of the application of the - new rates under which freight tariffs from Pacific coast points of origin are increased 25 per cent. Based upon these figures it will be possible to determine how and where existing relationships in distributing territory will be upset. However, it is realized that many problems will arise through the ap plication of the new tariffs that can not be obviated until actual experi ence demonstrates the effect. There is a feeling that business will be slackened in a measure until the ad vance has become effective in the trade. On lumber and other commod ities of bulky character the reflec tion will be shown at once in retail prices in the distributing' territory. Roads to Balk Gousers. Both the lumbermen and the rail roads will watch closely the applica tion of these increases. The railroad traffic officials will check on all price changes that are attributed to higher transportation charges as a matter of self-defense. Dealers who may be inclined to profiteer will find that the railroads intend to keep the public informed of what share of the increased cost is properly charged to the higher rtes. The new tariff In this instance is fixed as a national necessity to enable the railroads to earn the money with which to pay higher wages and earn a return on the valuation placed on all the railroads of the United States by the interstate commerce commission. GREELY PLAN IS FAVORED STATK KOUKSTBK. TO advo- C.VTK CHANGE OF POLICY. New Idea Calls for $1,000,000 Ap propriation, of AVhich Oregon Will Get $50,000. SALEM. Or., Aug. 26 (Special.) r A. idlliott, state forester, today an nounced that at the next meeting of the state forestry board in Portland he would advocate adoption of a pol icy of handling the forests similiar to that adopted by AV. B. tireely, nat ional forester. Through the Week's fund law under which the government now co-oper ates with 25 states in fire patrol work in forests, the entire amount distrib uted to the states is $100,000, of which Oregon receives $7500. The' new plan calls for an appropriation of $1,000 000, which would make available for work in Oregon, the sum of $50,000. Recently the state board of forestry was requested by federal authorities to act as a committee, to formulate a state policy, and in turn the board has asked a representative of the AVestern Pine Manufacturing associa tion, and a representative of the Co . lumbia River Loggers association, to join with the state in working out a policy. It is probable, according to Mr. El liot, that at the next meeting of the . state forestry board, the so-called Greely plan will be adopted. SAFETY WILL DE TAUGHT r COIRSK TO EXTEND THROUGH ALL GRADES OF SCHOOLS. Study AVill Include Forest Tire Prevention and AA'ill Be Per manent in Oregon. SALEM, Or., Aug. 26. (Special.) Establishment or a so-called safety course in the public schools of Ore gon was decided on at a conference hi-ld here this afternoon attended by AV. T. Marshall and W. T. Kirk, mem ters of the state industrial accident commission; C. H. Oram, labor com niissioner; K. K. Elliott, state forester J. A. Churchill, state superintendent of public instruction and Hugh Herd man and B. C. Ball of Portland, representing the Oregon branch of the national safety council. It was pointed out at the conference that only about one-fourth of the ac cidents from various causes are pre ventable through the adoption of safety appliances and that education provides the only means whereby th remaining 75 per cent of accidents can be prevented. Figures were also submitted show Inir that accidents are increasing 1 the face of the national safety cam paign now in progress. Hugh Herdman, for many years en gaged in school work In Oregon was assigned the task of preparing the safety course which will extend through the entire eight grades, and will make a part of the instruction in civics. Besides Instructing the purils regarding safety rules and the best way to avoid accidents in indus tries and on the street, the course will extend to forest fire prevention. B. A. Elliott, state forester, has agreed to lend 'his assistance in outlining the course of study best adapted to sav ing the forests from destruction by fite. Mr. Churchill approved the course of study as tentatively outlined and promised that it would become a per manent part of school work In Ore gon. If possible, the definite course of study will be prepared within the next two weeks, and if approved, will be introduced in the schools at the opening of the fall term.

HOLLAND 1 LIE AGENCY WON Oregon-Pacific Company Handle Business. to START IS ONLY FREIGHT Steamers Eemdyk 'and Kinderdyk Are Xamed for Late September and October Loading. The Oregon-Pacific company, at present agent here for the Toyo Kisen Kaisha, Charles Nelson line and Co- umbia Navigation company, has been appointed as general agent at Port land for the Holland-America line. it was announced yesterday by George Powell, president of the local com pany. Mr. Powell received the ap pointment as agent of the Dutch line August 17, but has awaited fhe re ceipt of more complete information regarding the service to be estab lished before making his appoint ment public. The steamers Eemdyk and Kinder dyk, each of 12,000 tons deadweight capacity, were named by Mr. Powell (yesterday for late September and late October loading, respectively.

Europe through the Panama canal 11 be maintained jointly by the Holland-America line and the Royal Mail Steam Packet company. The Holland-America line was established in 1872 and is tho oldest company operating vessels between this coun try and Europe. The Royal Mail Steam Packet company is a powerful concern, operating vessels under tne British flag. One of the greatest attractions or the new service to shippers of Port land will be the fact that each of the vessels of the fleet has refrigera tor space of 66,000 cubic feet, or enough to accommodate approximate ly 35,000 standard size boxes of ap ples. About 30 solid car loads of apples can be stowed in the re frigerator space of each vessel. Phosphate Movement Slated. Negotiations are now under way.

May Probe Report; Four Bar rels and 2 6 Cases in Lot, Ac cording to Passengers. SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 26. (Spe cial.) Investigations oeing made by government agents may result in a probe by the federal grand jury next month of the report that a huge ship ment of liquor was taken to Nome last June on the Alaska Steamship company's steamer Victoria. Captafn Fred Warner, veteran ot the Nome run, who was in comr.-and of the ship, has been relieved from duty by Seattle officials of the steam ship line, while an inquiry into what part, if any, he played in the alleged affair is being made by agents of the United States steamboat nspec tion service. This board has the power to revoke or suspend licenses of masters or engineers for violation of maritime or civil laws. Captain Warner has declined to make a state ment on the case for publication. According to the report, which fed eral officials are investigating and which was made by the passengers on the victoria, the Nome liner took on a shipment of four barrels and 6 cases of liquor from a Canadian tug in the straits a few hours after the Victoria sailed from Seattle on her first voyage of the season to Nome. It is alleged the liquor was delivered at Nome to Jafet Lindeberg, a wealthy mining man of that city, and very prominent on this cost. The question of whether the whisky was on the high seas and out of the jurisdiction of the United States when the liquor was said to have been taken aboard may prove a puzzling angle if the matter comes to trial. Customs officials of the Seattle dis trict today refused to comment on the case. Other government officials, however, pointed out tlftat if the liquor was taken aboard, the owners of the vessel would be liable for prosecution for a violation of cus toms regulation on the part of those in charge of the s-hip. Pacific Coast Shipping .Notes. SEATTLE, Aug. 26. (Special.) A. M. Gillespie. Inc., today was appointed Puet sound representative for the New Pacfic Coast-European service established by the Hoi land-America line of Rotterdam, Hol land, which has placed three 12.000-ton steamships in operation in the route. Each ship has 2500 tons of cool and refrigerated space. The vessels are tho Eemdyk. the Kinderdyk and the Moerdyk. The Eemdyk is now on her way to Seattle. More than 2000 tons of copper ingots and copper ore are expected In Seattle on the two steamships or. tne w. i. urace & Co. fleet and the Peruvian bark Belfast, en route here from South America. That the statistics compiled and pub lished by the United States department of commerce showing the value of tho foreign trade of the United States are worthless as an, index as to whether the actual ton nage Is increasing or decreasing was de clared by the Seattle port commission which this afternoon adopted a resolu tion requesting that the volume of ex ports and imports for every customs dis trict be complied by the department as to tonnage as well as to value in dollars and cents. A cower launch under construction on the east waterway by C. F. Carlson will be carried on the deck of the American schooner Camano when it sails for South America late this week. The small craft will be used to tow the schooner during calms or in shifting berths in ports of the south seas. Fire which started in a shipment of sacked coal in the after part of the big freighter Ketchikan of the Alaska Steam ship company soon after she left Seattle st night for rs oine and jincnaei via Point Wells, caused considerable excite ment aboard the vessel, but was extin guished by the crew before the ship was damaged. SAN PEDRO, Cal., Aug. 26. (Special.) The fuel situation bore is becoming more serious. Six large freighters are tied to the docks here awaiting fuel oil. Some of these freighters are owned by the Unit ed States shipping board and owing to lark of a contract with the oil com panies they have been In port several days.
