The Standard Store of the Northwest Olds, Wortman & King Entire Block Morrison, West Park, Alder and Tenth Streets Portland's fight to obtain a central nnlon terminal station will go im mediately to the interstate commerce commission. The city of Portland has been assured the co-operation of the Oregon public service commission i and the necessary papers will be filed I Immediately in Washington. City Attorney La Roc he, in compli ance with instructions carried in a resolution adopted yesterday by the city council, appeared before the r't lic service commission and requested the co-operation of that body. Fred G. Buchtel. chairman of the commission, assured him that active and Immediate co-operation of the public service commission could be depended upon. "We etand ready to do the utmost to give Portland what she is entitled to," explained Mr. Buchtel. "Our en gineers will be assigned at once to confer with Mr. LaRocbe and gather necessary data to present to the in terstate commerce commission." Attorney Gets Order. Negotiations for the establishment . of a nnion terminal station in Port land, insofar as the Southern Pacific company s concerned, must be taken up with President Sproule of that company, according to a message Mr. J-A Roche received yesterday from Julius Krnttschnitt, chairman of the fcoard of directors of the Southern Pacific. The message was in reply to a re quest sent by the terminal commis sion that the ouster order served on the Great Northern and the Spokane, Portland & Seattle railways be tem porarily rescinded, and was as fol lows: "The business of the lines owning the Portland union terminal increased long ago to such an extent as to badly crowd them. Director-general during federal control diverted certain Spo kane, Portland & Seattle and Great Northern trains, as a temporary war measure, and while both the South ern Pacific and the Oregon-Washington Railway & Navigation companies have added to their train service, the nee by the northern lines was allowed to continue pending readjustment of traffic conditions. I have repeated your telegram to President Sproule, In whose jurisdiction the matter l'es." Road President Mast Decide. The resolution adopted by the coun- eil Instructed City Attorney La Roche to take Immediate steps to present the facts regarding the proposed new union terminal station to the public service commission of Oregon and - through that body to the interstate commerce commission. The resolution, introduced by Act- j Ing Mayor Bigelow, was adopted by unanimous vote of the council. The action was taken as the result of the ouster notice served upon the Great j.orther7i and Spokane, Portland & Seattle railways by the terminal com- pany. . The ouster notice was taken by members of the city council as a di rect affront to the city, in view of the fact that a committee appointed by the mayor to investigate the terminal situation had hardly launched its in vestigation .when the ouster notice was servea. City Attorney La Roche will lose bo time in acting upon the direction ' ct the resolution. An application will be made to the Interstate commission X stay the ouster proceedings until after a com plete investigation can be made of the terminal situation. Action by Council Favored. When Mayoj- Baker introduced the resolution appointing the heads of all civic clubs as a committee to investi gate the terminal situation. City Commissioner Barbur favored direct action by the council." He withdrew his opposition to a committee, when it was explained that support of the terminal project by the civic clubs, gained through an Investigation con ducted by their own heads, would produce better results. The city council. In Its present mood, was said not to be inclined 10 orooK any further unnecessary delay. For that reason they adopted the resolution instructing the city attorney to proceed to lay the matUiEi: ter Deiore the interstate commerce commission. The Presidents' club at a meeting I EE: In the Chamber of Commerce last . mgnt went on record as being in sup port of a central union terminal and agreed that their secretary ask the public service commission for a defi nition of its power in the present con troversy. H. B. Van Duzer sponsored the motion and they agreed that all members join in the movement with civic and business interests to unite all efforts to gain the terminal.
