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. .

Rotarlans to Enforce Rules.
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 meeting was
called by Charles Cochran, district
governor of Portland, to outline the
year's work. The question of boys'
work was left for each club to solve,
it being stated that the matter was
peculiar to each community.

Isn't this ridiculous I
People, who buy com

taste, pay just about as much
to bring it over here from
the'tea-piant as they would
pay for fine tea like Schil

You wouldn't ,do such a
thing, would you?"
When you pay all those
costs for picking, curing,

are a big part of the price

SUGAR PROFITEERING CASES
WILL GO OX TRIAL.
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. .

BLUE SKY BILL IS HEADY
SEATTLE CHAMBER TRUSTEES
TO SEE TENTATIVE DRAFT.
Proposed Washington Measure In
tended to Drive Irresponsible
Promoters From State.
SEATTLE. Wash.. Oct. 25. (Spe
cial.) Conferences on . the blue sky
bill being formulated by committees
from the industrial bureau of the
Chamber of Commerce, the Washing
ton Investment Bankers' association,
the better business committee of the
retail trade bureau of the chamber,
certified public accountants and in
terested Individuals, have reached
the point where the report is ready
to'be submitted to the trustees of the
Chamber of Commerce, said L. T.
Turner, chairman of the industrial
bureau committee.
It la said the bill, in tentative
form, embodies the best of the Cali
fornia law and desirable clauses of
measures passed by other states
Those who framed the bill as it now
standB are hopeful that it will not
meet with opposition from any sec
tion of the state.
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. The Joint
committees have been at work for
the last two weeks on the tentative
draft now ready.
