TITE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1920 12 PORT HOT REGARDED VITAi TO PORTLAND State Commerce Body Head Urges Consolidation Bill. OREGON SHOULD BENEFIT Charles Hall oT Marshfield De clares Unless. Channel Improved Business Faces Decline. The passing- of the port consolida tion bill is of the utmost importance to the people of the state as a whole, and to Portland in particular, because Portland's future as a port depends upon immediate Improvement, of the channel and dockage facilities. If these developments are not carried out immediately, Portlanfl will return to the pre-development stage.' If the consolidation bill passes. Portland will take its place among the premier ports of the Pacific coast." Such was the statement made by Charles Hall, president of the Oregon State Chamber of Commerce, yester day. Mr. Hall is in town on a two duy visit from Marshfield, and while here expressed himself emphatically as being in favor of the proposed measure. Mr. Hall pointed out that while the state chamber of commo ce could not express itself officially on the meas ure, due to the fact that less than BO per cent of the statewide orgna Izations had passed on it, yet anion? the eiht state chambers that had taken action onlv one declared itself as opposed to it. The remaining seven were- unanimously in favor of the measure. Objections Xot .Well Grounded "In viewing- the objections that have been raised against the measure It occurs to me that these objectors .have not carefully considered exactly what Portland is up ag-ainst at the present time. I the bill fails to pass, the money for channel and port im provements will have to be raised by other means, because the funds avail able at present are inadequate for even the ordinary upkeep of the chan nel and port. "From the engineering: point of View, the project is supported by such men as tlrigadier-General Harry Taylor of the United States board of engineers, who said in effect that the channel as it now exists Is a menace to navigation. General Taylor pointed out that the channel at present ren ders it extremely difficult for large deep-sea vessels to negotiate the channel to the Portland docks. He pointed out that at high water, when the current is swift, several things might happen in the narrow channel. "If & vessel had entered the channel from above at the same time that an other large vessel entered from be low, only the most careful navigating could prevent a difficult situation. Uridine Collision Mlpht Occur. Furthermore, if a vessel were go ing down the river and the draw on the railroad bridge below Swan Island refused to open, there would be a very grave danger that the head way of the vessel could not be stopped In time to avert disaster. Major Park of the second district, Un'ted States engineers, located here in Portland, conversant with all the facts bearing on channel improvement, is also in favor of it. "The committee of 15, selected be cause of their general knowledge of the s uhject, spent many months ln vestigating all angles of the problem. Their final report was approved by the city council and in a general way by the Portland Chamber of Com merce in A pril of this year. The project was gi von the widest pub licity and apparently received unan inious support. It is surprising t nio that so much 1 Lth-hour propa ganda has been developed against the project. I'orMnnil Should Reap Benefit. M n regard to miinr objections rn ised aga i nst the measure, it has born itl tli at the port should not acquire ko much dockage property. The cnninct-rs report on the project point s out that the land adjacent to .Swan island must be used as a dump itiK ground for the dirt removed from tht channel. 'lt would bo unfuir to the taxpay ers (.f tltis district to undertake that dredging and by the dumping of dirt on private lain! increase the value of that land by aoo per cent. The city of port la ml h;is a. right to bent-fit by t his iiurcased valuation. That fact is sell -c idont . she had very little money with' her when she left. It is a life and death matter tfaat the woman be located, ac cording o Whitney, who says her father Is aged and is not expected to recover from the shock of his daugh ter's disappearance. , The woman is described as being 34 years of age, height, five feet one, weight about 125. She wears nose glasses, according to her husband's report, a small hat and a long green coat or blue and tan ecarf. The older daughter, Alitha, is described as being tall and has abundant hair, gray eyes and wore a wine colored or black coat. The younger daughter. Vera, has light hair, blue eyes, very fair baby complexion and is wearing a black and white checked suit with a black collar and a small black velvet hat. Whitney Is offering a reward for information leading to the location of his wife and has placed all avail able information at the disposal of Inspector Craddock of the local police bureau. He gives the addresses of the following relatives in case any clew to the woman's whereabouts is found: Mrs. A. O. Qaskey, telephone Vancouver 2. F. 5; Mrs. H. Shute, 21 F. 23; W. D. Whitney, 2006 C street, phone 881 L. . PASTORS CHANGE PULPITS Shedd Ministers Alternate in Churches on Sundays. ALBANY, Or., Oct. 25. (Special.)

WALLA WALLA Wash., Oct. 25. (Special.) Rotarians at their meet ing here Saturday expressed them selves in favor of rigidly enforcing the rule to oust members who do not attend meetings regularly. All but four of the 18 clubs of the district were represented by their presidents and secretaries.

The question of boys' work was left for each club to solve, it being stated that the matter was peculiar to each community. Phone your want ads to The Orego- nlan. Main 7070.

' You wouldn't ,do such a thing, would you?" When you pay all those costs for picking, curing, transportation, etc. (which are a big part of the price of tea) ycu want real tea, with its full flavor and rest ul invigoration.

FederaJ Judge Wolverton Quashes Demurrers Filed by Parrott & Co., and Starr Products Co. Sugar profiteering- charges against Barrott ,& Co., Richard Adams, its manager, and the Starr Fruit Prod ucts company, and L. M. Starr. Its president, made the basis for Indict ments at the" hands of the federal Brand jury, were upheld in the United States court yestetday by Judge Wol-vertoiu- who sustained the constitu tionality of the Lever food act and the sufficiency of the facts on which the indictments were founded. ' Other dis trict federal judges have ruled against the Lever act. Demurrers to the. Indictment were taken by the defense on the grounds that the transaction called in ques tion idid not constitute & crime in the sense that the . indictments were faulty, the facts were not sufficient and that the transactions were not enough to class the alleged offenders as dealers. Judge Wolverton sustained the fed eral prosecution and said that the Starr Fruit Products company might be considered in the light of being in the business of dealing in sugar on account of the faot that it purchased three carloads from a San Francisco refinery which it is charged with shipping to Omaha and Chicago dur ing the recent shortage and reselling at an enormous profit. .

Members of the committee said they understand that certain interests in eastern Washington have Intimated a probable fight on the bill when the matter comes before the next session of the legislature and an effort will be made to prove to these people that the bill will not Interfere with any legitimate mining activities and that it Is only intended to drive out the irresponsible promoter.
