ILAIWS TALK
RESENTED BY PRESS
County Papers Maligned,
Says C. E. Ingalls.
CHARGES ARE ANSWERED
Statement That Oregon Publica
tions Opposing Senator Are Swire
Property Held Groundless.
CORVAL.LIS, Or.. Oct. 29. (Spe
cial.) In his address here Thursday
night Senator Chamberlain made a
statement to the effect that Swift &
Co. had bought op that portion of the
country press that is opposing htm.
"They couldn't buy the big Portland
dailies." he eaid. "and you don't see
them fighting; me."
The following evening C. E. Ingalls,
president of the. Oregon State Edito
rial association, arose to a question of
personal privilege and denounced the
senator from the same platform as
having grossly maligned the country
press which, he Insisted, could not be
purchased individually or collectively
by the Swifts or by anybody else.
Mr. Ingalls cited Senator Chamber
lain's statements regarding importa
tions of beef, butter and eggs into
this country and then quoted from a
government commerce bulletin to
show that the senator had grossly
misrepresented the facts.
Other Charge Answered.
In tills address Senator Chamber
lain also eaid: "Stanfield has been
accused of being a profiteer and a
hoarder of wool during the war. mak
ing millions of dollars from his deal
ings while I was busy trying to get
the wool content increased in the sol
diers' clothes. This charge has never
Mien denied down to this minute."
f Mr. Installs Quoted from The Ore
gonian of May 12. 1918, which said,
editorally: "The Oregonian is able to
say on Information and knowledge
that Stanfield is neither a profiteer
nor a hoarder. It says this now, be
cause it ought to be said now. It
would not have him nor any other
man, penalized through politics or
partisanship or newspaper unfair
ness for having performed to the state
of Oregon and to the northwest an
invaluable service in creating here a
great wool depot and in laying the
foundations for an important industry
in the manufacture of wool products
of all kinds."
Argentine Beef Sh o wn.
In his speech Mr. Chamberlain said
that the case of Argentine beef re
ferred to in The Oregonian by a
Harper merchant "was the only case
in the country and had 'been imported
by the Swifts for the express purpose
of beating, him In the senatorship
race."
As evidence of how reliable the sen
ator was in his statements, Mr. In
galls presented two different sized
cans of Argentine beef that he had
bought that afternoon in a local gro
cery store, the proprietor of which is
secretary of the local democratic cen
tral committee. He also presented af
fidavits from lumber concerns to the
effect that they had been using Ar
gentine beef in their camps during
August and September.
"I present this evidence," said the
speaker, "to impeach the reliability of
the witness in his statement that the
country press that is fighting him is
under the control of the Swifts."

FACTOBY SITES NEEDED
SIAXITFACTIKEK REAL
TY HEX OF PORT PROSPECTS.
O. A. Palnton Says This City Has
Splendid! Chance to Grow
With Proposed Development. '
The need for carrying out the
scheme of channel and industrial site
development, contemplated In the
port consolidation measure, was em
phasized by C. A. Painton, president
of the Portland Vegetable Oil Mills
company, who touched upon the sub
ject from the viewpoint of a manu
facturer, speaking at the luncheon of
the Portland realty board In the grill
room of the Portland hotel yesterday.
Frank M. Warren, chairman of the
port commission, also spoke for the
measure, dealing especially with the
need for channel development.
The measure was opposed by "W. M.
Killingsworth, who charged the west
side with opposition to the develop
ment of the east side.
Mr. Painton said Portland had the
natural possibilities for the develop
ment of a great port. '
"The city will grow and develop
just as much as we want it to," he
said. "It is merely a question of our
developing and taking advantage of
the natural possibilities we find here."
Touching upon the need for devel
oping sites for industrial plants by
use of the spoils of dredging in the
proposed channel improvement plan.
Mr. Painton said that there were at
present only three sites along the
river from the Northern Pacific Lum
ber company to Linnton where a fac
tory could be located on deep water
without so much filling in that it
would be prohibitive from the stand
point of expense for a private con
cern. This, he said, he had discovered
as the result of a survey made for the
I purpose of locating a vegetable oil
plant.
"This is the time for -ortiana to
step in," he said. "With the proper
kind of enterprise snown Dy tne citi
zens, Portland can take the place that
was intended for her to take."
CHESTNUT WRECKS AUTO
MaclUnist, Said to Have Been
Drunk, Hits Officer's Car.
Auto accidents are bad enough for
a man with a perfumed breath and
thick tongue, when he runs into an
ordinary individual, but when J. L.
Chestnut climbed out of his mental
fog about noon yesterday to see what
had put the curb in the middle of
the street at the intersection of
IMssissippi avenue and Shaver street
he found a highly irate harbor patrol
offii-er climbing out of a machine
directly in front of him. said ma
chine having a splintered running
board and badly battered fenders.
A. T. Austed. harbor patrolman,
parked his machine by the curb.
DGOGLAS FIR TUMBLES
CTRREXT QUOTATIONS BELOW
APRIL BY 40 PER CENT.
Water Route Salvation of East
Coast Markets, Declares
Lumbermen's Organ.
A downward trend in the building
material market' has been initiated
by the quotations on Douglass fir,
which have declined 40 per cent since
April, according to the weekly re
view of the West Coast Lumbermen's
,a.ssoclation. The drop in fir prices,
has apparently outdistanced the slump
in most commodities in the post-war
readjustment of values.
The review declared that lumber
men and shippers have turned to
the water route as the only possible
means of taking care of fche output
here since the recent rise in railroad
rates to eastern points. Storage and
reshipping facilities for lumber have
already been established on the At
lantic coast, it is declared.
"The most promising prospect thus
far," says the bulletin, is the au
thentic information that a large,
well-equipped steamship line is nego
tiating a $15 rate tor lumber from
north Pacific ports to New York,
Boston, Baltimore and Philadelphia.
The present transcontinental rail
rate is $26. C3.
"Under such a favorable water
rate, it is considered possible for
west coast forest products to be de
livered in eastern inland markets
like Pittsburg and Buffalo, on a
back haul from the Atlantic seaboard,
for less than the same products can

"It is estimated Qiat Atlantic coast
markets for Pacific coast lumber can
be developed to a point of absorbing
a billion feet a year. Storage and
reshipping facilities for lumber are
already being established on the
Atlantic coast. Large development,
in this line is anticipated in the next
two years.
"For the week ending October 23.
association reporting mills took on
50,711,632 feet of new business.
Forty-five per cent of that total, or
22,820,234 feet, was railroad material.
Railroads have been buying heavily
on the current demoralized market.
"The most striking feature of the
report is the fact that only 6,399,766
feet of new business, taken during
the week, was from retail yards and
wood-using industries, to be de
livered by rail. Normally, such buy
ing is in excess of 57,000,000 feet
per week."
