12011,080 STOCK OFFERED
VEGETABLE OIL COMPANY CAP
ITALIZED AT $300,000.
Work on Copra-Pressing Plant to
Be Started as Soon as $700,
000 Is Kaised.
The Portland Vegetable Oil Mills
company, which was formed some
time ago to take over the copra-reducing
business which was temporar
ily lost to Portland through the burn
ing down of the Palmolive plant here
and the subsequent decision of the
Palmolive company to move its plant
to San Francisco, has now been cap
italized at $500,000 and an offering
of J200.000 more of stock will be open
for general subscription, accoraing to
officers of the company yesterday.
Plans of the company were recently
approved by 'the corporation depart
ment of the state.
Twenty-eight residents of Port
land, including prominent bankers
and business men, have subscribed
more than $500,000 of the $1,000,000
capital stock authorized, it was an
nounced, and 'the $200,000 will be of
fered at once. As soon as $700,000
has been subscribed, work upon the
new plant will begin, and the remain
ing $:t00.000 of stork will be issued
and sold at a later date to provide
for expansion after the business is
established.
Following the burning of the plant
here, the Palmolive officials deter
mined to move to San Francisco, in
spite of the fact that local business
men and Chamber of Commerce of
ficials showed them conclusively that
Portland possesses advantages for the
importing and pressing of copra not
possessed by any port on the Pacific.
Rather than lose the industry, which
had been built up here it was deter
mined to form an independent com
pany, to operate a plant twice as
large.
In 1918 and 1919 the import of copra
on account of this industry was ap
proximately 50 per cent of the value
of all imports entering the Columbia
river.
C. A. Painton, who was head of the
Palmolive company plant here, will
remain in Portland as president and
general manager of the new company.
The plant of the new company will
be located on deep water on the Wil
lamette river.

REFORESTATION III
LOGGING IS PLANNED
Timber to Be Cut From U. S.
Land Is Designated.
SYSTEM IS EXPLAINED
Annual Output Would Allow Oper
ation of Economical Camp,
Is Declaration.
SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 30. (Spe
cial.) As the initial steps to develop
commercial logging on large areas of
Washington and' Oregon government
forest reserves, under a system, which
will assure favorable reforestation to
perpetuate the lumber industry in the
northwest. E. J. Hanzlik, forest ex
aminer with Seattle federal head
quarters, announced today the com
pletion of plans which will allow an
annual cut of from 40,000.000 to. 80,
000,000 feet of the next 60 years in the
Sauk Stllaguamish district of the
Snoqualmie nationlU forest, western
Washington.
Mr. Hanzlik has Just returned to
Seattle headquarters after nearly two
months inspecting timber and eco
nomic conditions within the North
Fork Santiam district, situated on the
Santiam national forest, western Ore
gon. Sales Planned in Advance.
During the last two years Mr. Hanz
lik has been assigned to an important
phase of the forestry, whereby plans
for cutting certain specified units of
mature government timber are pre
pared in advance of making timber
sales. In this system, provisions are
made first for cutting out the more
decadent or over-ripe bodies of tim
ber; second, for a continuous cut from
this area. The amount to be cut an
nually is not less than that which
will sustain an economical logging
and milling operation, and is based
upon the amount of standing mature
timber available to any one central
milling point; also the estimated rate
of growth for the species desired for
restocking the cut-over areas is con
sidered. "Thus far, working plans have been
prepared only for the Sauk Stllagua
mish working circle, on the Snoqual
mie reserve, embracing about 130,
000 acres of commercial forest area,
situated within the upper portions
of the north fork of the Stilaguamish
and the Sauk rivers, about 80 miles
northeast of Seattle." announced Mr.
Hanzlik.
Yearly Cat T Extlmated
"This working circle will allow a
yearly cut of from 40,000,000 to 50,000,
000 feet which will gradually be in
creased to about 80,000,000 feet within
the next 50 or 60 years. We have
now in process of preparation work
ing plans for the south fork of the
Stilaguamish watershed, also on the
Snoqualmie national forest and the
north fork Santiam watershed, in
Oregon."
In connection with the reforestation
provision in federal forest logging
operations, Mr. Hanzlik reported that
in the western Cascade region the
forest growth may be obtained by
natural means in most cases, after
logging has taken place. Accordingly,
the initial cost of reforestation is
practically nothing.
The forest service, however, con
siders it very essential that fires be
kept out of the young growth, which
gets its start after logging operations
have taken place, and it is this phase
of forestry that Mr. Hanzlik said is
of the greatest importance to the fu
ture timber supply of western .Wash
ington. INDIAN CHIEF IS ROBBED
Loot Worth $1300 Taken F'rom
Home In Toppenish.
SEATTLE. Wash., Sept. 30. (Spe
cial.) Chief Homer Watson of the

5 MOTOR CARS WRECKED
Autoists Report Law Violations on
High-way to State t'air.
Five cars skidded from the road
way and were wrecked between Port
land and Salem last night, according
to reports of motorists returning
from the state fair. Those who made
the reports did not believe that any
of the accidents resulted in serious
injuries, but they considered this re
markable in view of the large num
ber of cars on the road and numer
ous instances of reckless driving.
"In the early evening there was a
mad rush for home by hundreds of
Portland autoists attending the fair,"
reported one visitor. "Speed laws
were ignored and a large number of
glaring headlights made driving par
ticularly dangerous for drivers south
bound. For the sake of safety the
highway to Salem should be policed
during fair week."
Boy, B, Hit by Autoist.
William Keane. 6 years old, son of
Mr. and Mrs. James Keane of 130
Morris street, was hit by an auto
mobile at Mississippi avenue and Mor
ris street last night. The car was
driven by E. L. Swarthout, 985 Al
bina avenue, who reported to the
police that the little boy ran into the
street and that he swerved his car to
avoid striking him, when the lad
came in contact with the rear fender.
The boy was taken to Emanuel hos
pital, unconscious, and his condition
is considered serious.

whose release from imprisonment following-
.conviction by army court
martial of brutal treatment of Amer
ican soldiers In France, has just be
come known, objected to any clemency
beliip extended him. Secretary of War
Baker said today.
Smith's commanding officers, the
secretary said, had appealed to the
clemency board of the war department
for a reduction of the 18 months' sen
tence. Smith, learning: of the action,
w rote the board, objecting to any
change, saying that he wished to serve
out his sentence to avoid turtner puo
lieily. SMITH PAROLED MARCH 20
Clemency for Brutal Army Officer
Is Made Public.
NEW YORK. Sept. 30. Frank H.
(Hard-Boiled) Smith, ex-army lieu
tenant, convicted by court-martial of
brutal treatment of prisoners in
France, was paroled from Fort Jay
March 20 after he had served less
than 9 months of his lS-months'
term.
This was made known today by the
military authorities at Governor's Is
land, where it was said that the order
for Smith's release had been Issued by
the adjutant-general's office at Wash
ington and had been approved by the
Fecretary of war. It was believed
Smith had returned to his home in
Ohio.
After Smith had been arrested in
France he originally was sentenced
to three years at hard labor after hav
ing been found guilty of misusing
American soldiers in the prison camp
at Chelles, which he commanded. This
sentence later was reduced to 18
months at hard labor at Fort Leav
en worth.
Smith was brought overseas and
confined at Fort Jay pending inves
tigation by a congressional committee
of the treatment of American pris
oners In France.
After this investigation had been
completed it was generally supposed
that Smith had been taken to Fort
Leavenworth to serve out his sen
tence, which members of the commit
tee had expressed belief was too light.

HINDU SUES WHITE MATE
Wife Married Him for His Money,
Says Divorce Petition.'
ASTORIA, Or., Sept. 30. (Special.)
In a suit for divorce on the grounds
of cruelty filed in the circuit court
today by Soba Singh against Pauline
Singh, the complaint recites that the
plaintiff is a Hindu, while the de
fendant is a Belgian woman. The
couple was married at Vancouver on
March 15, 1920, by a justice of the
peace and also by a minister.
The plaintiff avers that he fitted
up a home here for the defendant and
gave her every comfort, but she
c hided him over the fact that he was
not a white man and refused to eat
at the same table with him, saying
it was not proper for a white woman
to eat with a black man. The de
fendant is also alleged to have told
the plaintiff that she married him
only to get his money.
At the Theaters.
Hippodrome.
T-HE HALFWAY HOUSE" is one
X of the best little sketches that
the Hippodrome has had among its
offerings in a long time. Mr. and Mrs.
Perkins Fisher, two established char
acter actors whose work is well and
favorably known, portray the two
roles. Mr. Fisher depicts a quaint old
keeper of the Halfway house, with a
fund of honest, homely philosophy,
which keeps the audience constantly
approving. Mrs. Fisher, a capable
charming woman, takes the role of
a stranded actress who stops at the
"Halfway House." The dialogue be
tween the pessimistic actress and op
timistic old inkeeper provides ex
cellent food for thought and enacted
as it is the act is splendid enter
tainment. The two Frederick sisters are dain
ty girls, talented dancers and have
a series of artistic clothes. They
have a partner, Thomas, who is also
a capital stepper and he is busy all
the time stepping or singing away
with the two. cutie girls. They very
properly call their turn "A Paprika
of Songs and Dances."
Two snappy chaps are Paul Moher
and Harry Eleridge in a melange of
song and chatter called "I Don't
Know." They both aim to please
apparently and certainly win much
applause. Their material is refresh
ing and original.
Henry Lewis creates laughter with
his novelty song and chatter act, in
corporating a grotesque surprise he
presents, called "Adrian."

nounce Rehabilitation.

cial.) The democratic party of Ha

party, which declared that such a bill
would "un-Amerlcanize the islands."

part of the bill is "claus legislation
and unconstitutional." The measure

lands to plantation companies. The
revenue would, put Hawailans on poor
er land and give them implements
with which to cultivate the soil.

bill because of pride, declaring that it
would be classing them like Indians
in the United States. The Hilo post
of the American Legion has opposed
the bill, denouncing it as a sugar
planters' project with a view to re
taining lands now held in lease from
the territory.

ment in reply to the Harold Yokes
announcement of yesterday that Ben

"Judge Ben L.indsey and Francis

as when .lolland swings to the Dutch.
Both supported Mr. Wilson in IMS
and each has been identified with the
Wilson administration, one as a paid
attorney and the other as a priv
ileged writer and traveler in support
of Wilson policies. Judn'e Lindsey
never quite forgave the progressives
for not nominating him for vice
president in mi2 and Air. Heney has
never recovered from his defeat by
the progressives of California as a
candidate for the United States sen
ate in lan.
"intelligent progress! ves who are
interested in what other progressives

MeCormick and Knight of Illin.ois;
Beveridge and Toner of Indiana ; Car

Von Valkenburg, Moore and Lewis of
Pennsylvania; lavenport. Hooker
and Wilkerson of New York, and
hundreds of other leading progres
sives who kept faith with Theodore
Roosevelt while he lived and now
support Senator Harding rather than
those who abandoned Roosevelt's
leadership for the man who kept us
out of war and who was too proud
to fight."
