PORT BILL STRUCK
BYWIDNKEYWRENGH
Captain Hosford Opposes
Consolidation Programme.
RIVAL MEASURE OFFERED
Multnomah Representative Would
Have Money Appropriated for
North Poptland Harbor.
STATE HOUSE, Salem, Or, Jan. 12.
(Special.) What is considered as a
monkey wrench in the macninerj 01
the proposed port consolidation pro
gramme was thrown by Captain Hos
ford. representative of Multnomah
county.today. A bill introduced by
Mr. Hosford is In direct opposition to
the programme approved by the
chamber of commerce and committee
of 15 in Portland and which will be
approved in Portland Thursday morn
Ins by the commission of public
docks.
Captain Hosford is unalterably op
posed to the purchase of Swan island
and the elimination of tha. obstruc
tion in the Willamette river. His bill
not only prevents purchase of the
island, but It stipulates particularly
that the Port of Portland shall make
a channel to the North Portland har
bor. In support of his measure. Mr.
Hosford has ben lobbying among the
members from east of the mountains,
exDlainins: that with a channel to
North Portland the cattle and sheep J
or the Oregon ranges win go id uiai -ket
by water instead of by rail. Mr
Hosford reports that he has un
earthed a considerable sentiment fa
vorable to his bill from the eastern
Oregon representatives.
Hosford's Move First.
There is expected from Portland
not later than next Monday an
emergency bill, carrying authority for
It is not probable that any measure
will be reported favorably by either
committee unless it has the approval
of the majority of the highway com-
mssion.
The bill releasing the Roosevelt
highway funds provided for in bonds
authorized by the voters of the state
at a special election in 1919, was in
troduced to the senate today by Sen
ators Hall and Norblad. The bill pro
poses that the string attached to the
bona issue, providing that no money
be expended by the state unless
matched dollar for dollar byhe gov
ernment, be detached.
Diatrihution Is Arranged.
Provision Is made in the bill that
the money derived from he sale of
the $-.500,000 bond issue be turned
over to the state highway commis
sion, in order that construction work
may not be delayed by failure to have
funds available for acquirement of
rights of way. Further provision is
made that half of the money be ex
pended in the southern portion of the
state and half In the northern part.
The proposed bill directs the gover
nor to Itsue and sell the Roosevelt
highway bonds within the next two
years. It also provides that the
money derived from this sale shall
be deposited In the state treasury to
the credit of a special fund, subject
to demand of the highway commis
sion. The ronte of the highway, as out
lined in the bill, extends from the
city of Astoria, through Tillamook,
Lincoln, Lane, Douglas, Coos and
Curry counties to the California Una
Practically all restrictions, so far as
government aid Is concerned, are re
moved by the bill.

sale or Jl.ooff.'ii'in or Donas Dy me r-ort
of Portland comrsifslon to buy Swan
Island and to do channel work. Cap
tain Hosford has made the first move,
for his bill la calculated to block the
million-dollar measure. Mr. Hosford's
measure calls for an emergency ap
propriation of $SOO,000, of which :50,
000 shall be used for the construction
of a 25-foot channel in the Oregon
slough and the Columbia river from
toe interstate Brmse to me coniiu
ence of the Columbia and Willamette
rivers. The bill also prevents the
purchase of property and all of the
money is to be devoted exclusively te
channel purposes.
Coincident with the appearance ol
the Hosford bill came A. A Aya. who
Is In the lobby In the interest of North
Portland harbor. Mr. Aya is sup
plementing the missionary work of
Mr. Hosford for the latter's measure.
Also, there arrived today a lengthy
petition from residents of North Port
land, who urge the passage of the
Hosford document. About 1000 sig
natures are attached to the petition.
Strom Drive Bring Made.
It Is apparent thai a strong drive is
being made by the interest identified
with North Portland to upset the
programme of the Port of Portland
commission and force improvemen
of North Portland harbor. Mr. Hob
ford's argument to legislators is that
there are five concerns in North Port
land which require the proposed ao
foot channel. In addition to the Swift
packing concern, he mentions the Dol
lar steamship people, who want to
load lumber from the Monarch mill
and take cargoes to the Atlantic sea-
board-
Cattle raisers in eastern Oregon
have not been satisfied with the North
Portland yards, or rather with the
packing concerns there, and the argu
ment that If the North Portland har
bor Is provided with a channel their
meat can be shipped by water to for
eign markets and thus give them bet
ter returns has a strong appeal. This
argument of water-borne meat trans
portation has struck a responsive
chord among a number of the eastern
Oregon legislators and there may be
enough of them to make hard sled
ding fo" the other port development
programme, which the business In
terests of the metropolis have
stamped with approval.
Swam Purchase Opyoard.
Mr. Hosford. who is an old river
captain, maintains there is no occa
elon to dredge out Swan island or to
buy that property. He says that a
tralght channel can be made from
the railroad bridge at St. Johns to
the edge of Portland harbor without
anj" particular disturbance to the Is
land. Captain Hosford intimates that
there is a real estate deal of some
character lurking behind the port
consolidation programme. While Mr
Hosford 11 working for his bill in the
house, he Is not overlooking the sen
ate, and there is considerable lobby
ing in progress there.
The Hosford channel bill will go to
the Multnomah delegation, which will
also be the destination of the group
r nve fort bills which are to be
acted on by the dock commission
Thursday. Members of the delega

tion who are particularly Interested
In the Port policy regret that the
measures were not sent here today,
o that they can receive quick dis
patch. The emergency measure car
rying the fl, 000. 000 will be the first
disposed of. apparently, and then will
come a contest between the Hosford
bill for $800,000 and the million-dollar
bill. The majority of the Multnomah
delegation will stand by the series of
bills which have the indorsement of
Portland's commercial interests, but
the members outside of Multnomah
will have something to say on the
ventual disposition.
John H. Burgard. member of the
dock commission, and George H.
Kelly, of the Port of Portland com
mission, were in Salem today, but
confined their efforts to seeking an
appropriation from the ways and
means committee for $12,000 for the
Pat ton home, for which Institution
they have asked appropriations for
many years.
ROAD LEGISLATION BEGUN
'y-yu n;ii T'.rst r IE. '
HOOD RrvKR. Or., Jan. 12. (Spe
cial.) Anti-Japanese sentiment in
Hood River, instead of retrograding,
as was concluded at Salem because
the local anti-Asiatic association had
no programme for the introduction of
a bill aimed at Japanese land owner
ship, has made a remarkably steady
growth in the past year, according to
George R. Wi'bur, who as state sena
tor in 1S17 introduced an anii-anen
land bill, withdrawn at that time at
the request of the federal govern
ment.
"It Is true that the feverish activity
of local citizens has to a large degree
subsided." said Mr. Wilbur, a mem
ber of the Hood River Anti-Asiatic as
sociation, "but I believe from my
dailv talks with those with whom I
come in contact that a majority of
our citizens have reached the con
clusion that some state legislation is
needed to protect our lands and pre
vent them from passing more and
more into the hands of non-assimilable
aliens. -
"The problem In a large measure Is
a national one, but this part relating
to land ownership is our own. It is
a local one that the national govern
ment cannot handle. The increase of
existine Japanese population, which
cannot be affected by' national regu
lation, will in the future prove a
worry if we do not introduce local
laws."
"Hood River stands now as she
has alwavs stood on the Japanese
question." said R. E. Scott, secretary
of the Anti-Asiatic association. "We
have not been before the public much
lately, but we are in touch with leg
islators from other counties who have
expressed themselves in entire ac
cord with us on the question of pro
hibiting land ownership or control by
Japanese."
SEEK HYDRO-ELECTRIC BODY
Creation of Commission I'Tged in
Bill Introduced in the Senate,
STATEHOUSE, Salom. Or. Jan. 12.
(Special.) Creation of a hydro
electric commission is proposed in a
bill that reached the senate today.
The commission, if created, will be
composed of three members who shall
be named by the governor. The com
missioners will not receive any com
pensation under the act, but will be
entitled to actual traveling expenses.
It Is provided in the bill that the
commission shall make a survey of
all hydro-electric power plants in the
state and report thereon, allowing the
original cost thereof, the territory
rved- by them, tne cost oi uyaro-
electrlc power each horsepower gen
erated at such plants, tne amount
eaoh horsepower for which the same
is sold to the public and such infor
mation as the commission may deem
necessary.
Provision also is made for a gen
eral survey of the hydro -electric
power which could be developed in the
Columbia river gorge and throughout
the state and separate the same Into
units as near as practical to do so.
The bill carries an appropriation OI
$25,000.
STATEHOUSE, Salem, Or. Jan. 12.
(Special.) First of the bills to create
new congressional , districts In the
state has been drawn by Senator Nor
blad. who modestly confeoeed to a
desire to serve In Washington. This
is but the forerunner of a number of
similar measures, and by the ttm
they are all received and under con
sideration, the map of the districts
will look like a crazy quilt.
Senator Upton has a congressional
district in mind, and Speaker Bean
will have a bill on this topic, or some
one will introduce one containing his
ideas. At this time there are In pros
pect at least half a dozen congres
sional bills. No one has yet submitted
a bill to reapportion the legislative
districts, which will be the fireworks
bill of the session, judging from the
underground rumblings.
Changes 'Are Proposed.
According to Norblad's Ideas the
four congressional district should be
as follows:
First district Columbia. Clatsop.
Tillamook. Lincoln. Benton. Coos,
Curry. Douglas, Lane, Jackson and
Josephine.
Second district Baker. Crook, Gil
liam. Grant. Hood River, Harney,
Klamath, Lake, Malheur, Morrow,
Sherman. Umatilla, Union, Wallowa,
Wheeler and Wasco. This Is the sec
ond district as at present composed.
Third district Multnomah county,
the same as as present.
Fourth district Clackamas, Wash
ington, Marion, Polk, Linn and Mult
nomah.
The first and fourth districts In the
Norblad measure chop chunks from
Representative Hawley's district. The
bill seriously interferes with another
plan to create the fourth district by
running a line south of Marion
county.
To the argument that Multnomah
will capture any joint congressman
as well as the one to which it Is en
titled, Norblad has prepared a safe.
pinira. which disoualif :s any resi
dent of Multnomah county from be
ing an aspirant for the joint dis
trict. In other words, the Multnomah
people are up against taxation with
out representation in so far as th
fourth congressional district Is con
cerned. Such a plan will not sat. well
with the Multnomah delegation, so
fight on the Norblad measure i
assured.
that should th increase not be
granted it is probable that the pres
ent superintendent" will resign and
there is no qualified person to fill the
vacancy. Miss Twayla Head now
holds the position.
BLIND SCHOOL PUXD SOUGHT
Legislature to Be Asked to Appro
priate $40,000.
STATE HOUSE. Salem. Or., Jan. 12.
(Special.) A bill to be drafted by
Oscar W. Home of Portland will pro
vide for an appropriation of $40,000
with which to start construction on
what will be known as the Oregon
institution for the adult blind. This
institution was authorized at the spe
cial legislative session last January
and later was approved by the voters
of the state.
The original law provided for a tax
of one-sixth of a mill on the assessed
valuation of the property of the state
for building and furnishing the insti
tution, while an annual tax of 1-25
mill was provided for maintenance
and operation. After the bill had
been approved by the voters it was
discovered that the tax levy could not
be made in time to yield any funds
for the purpose this year. As a re
sult Mr. Home will ask for an appro
priation of $40,000, which is the
equivalent of the amount that will be
raised through the 1-25 mill levy.
This bill will be introduced in the
senate probably tomorrow. Mr. Home
said he was making an effort to pro
cure a free site for the institution and
that none of the money derived from
the appropriation would be lost to the
state.
. Mr. Home was accompanied here
by J. F. Meyers, principal of the school
for the adult blind in Portland.

Memorial to Congress Unani

FEDERAL ROAD AID ASKED

Other Booms "Nourished.
Also opposition will be found from
Southern Oregon, "for there are boom
ets being nourished by Representa-
lves Sheldon and others. The bulk
of the votes would be other than in
Jackson and Josephine.
Based on population, Norblad's first
district has a population of approxl
mately 179,000 and the second dis
trict has about the same number of
people. The third district, Multnomah
county, has more than is needed, so
the third district is given a popula-
lon of 210.000 and the overflow is
supplied to the joint district, which
thus acquires 210.000.
In the final analysis, it Is proba
ble that all the congressional redis
ricting bills will go to the scrap
heap because of the many conflicting
personal ambitions and that the leg
islature will solve the difficulty by
providing for one congressman to be
elected at large.

CONSOLIDATION MOVE BEGUN
Transfer of Child Labor and Wel
fare Bureaus Proposed.
STATE HOUSE. Salem. Or., Jan. 12.
(Special.) The first move towards
consolidation of state bodies was
launched today in the house by Rep
resentative Kay. who presented an
amendment placing the child labor de
partment and the industrial weirare
bureau under the state labor depart
ment. The amendment does not eliminate
the advisory boards who axe attached
to the various bodies affected by the
amendment, but provides that IBe
state labor commissioner shall super
vise and administer affairs of the in
dustrial welfare commission and the
child labor bureau.
The consolidation provided in this
amendment is in direct line with the
recommendation contained in the gov
ernor's message read to the legisla
ture Tuesday, although the amend
ment was drawn by Representative
Kay prior to reading the governor's
message.
BONUS ACT'S PASSAGE URGED
Memorial of Oregon House Asks
U. S. Senate to Hurry.
STATE HOUSE, Salem, Or.. Jan. 12.
(Special.) The UnUed States sen
ate Is urged to pass the bonus act,
known as the fopr-fold compensation
pay for veterans of the world war,
without further delay, in a memorial
adopted by the house today. The me
morial was introduced by Represent
atives Korell, Johnston, Hammond,
North, Wells, Marsh and Leonard and
was adopted after the rules had been
suspended.
Such compensation, according to the
resolution, has been recognized by
the people of many states as valid,
justifiable and urgent, and speedy ap
proval by the senate of the bonus act
is urged In the memoriaJ.
Bill Would Provide Jurors.
STATE HOUSE, Salem, Or., Jan. 12.
(Special.) The common practice of
combing pool halls, cigar stands and
street corners for Jurors to serve
after regular court panels have been
exhausted will be unnecessary if an
amendment provided in a bill intro
duced in the house today by Repre
sentative Hyatt becomes a law. This
amendment directs courts to order
additional jurors drawn from jury
lista and summoned by the sheriff
whenever the regular panel is ex
hausted or is about to be exhausted.
BOISE. Idaho, Jan. 12. (Specials
House Joint memorial. No. L was in
troduced In the house of representa
tives by Representative McDonald of
Kootenai county today, and half an
hour later was taken up under a sus
pension of the rules by unanimous
consent and adopted.
The document is addressed to
Idaho's senators and representatives
in congress, urging them to support
and work for the passage of the Mc
Arthur bill, now pending, whicn pro
vides for continuation of the present
federal aid programme In connection
with state highways.
Idaho's immense progress In road
building during the last bienwium has
been aided to a considerable degree
by co-operation of the federal gov
ernment under the 1916 law. The
funds derived from this aid, however.
will shortly be exhausted. The Mc
Arthur bill renews the provisions of
the former measure and extends to
states which are carrying on active
highway work the same measure of
assistance.
Senators Go to Nama.
While the senate attended the state
seed show, state irrigation congress
and allied conventions in fsampa
Wednesday, the house of representa
tives had its first practice in par
liamentary procedure, adopted a mem
orial to congress and debated a pro
posal to oust the state board of edu
cation from its quarters for the dura
tion of the session. The exeroise In
application of the rules of order came
about in the course of an attempt to
amend a senate measure to authorize
the legislature to pay its attaches.
In addition to the introduction and
adoption of the McDonald memenal,
two measures were Introduced in the
house. House bill No. 11, by Hall of
Oneida, authorizes the commissioner
of commerce and industry to exact a
bond from an investment company
which seeks the privilege of selling
stock or securities In the state. House
bill No. 12, by Moore, provides for
withdrawing the oounty of Valley
from the third judicial district now
composed of Ada, Boise, Valley and
Owyhee counties, and attaching it to
the seventh judicial district, com
posed of Adams, Canyon. Gem and
Payette countiesf
Bank Guaranty Law Asked.
A memorial from the chamber of
commerce of Coeur d'Alene was read
in the house, which asks for the en
actment by the legislature of a bank
eruarantv law.
The entire session of the house to
day occupied hardly more than an
hour, and the house then adjourned
until 10 o'clock Thursday morning, to
give Its members an opportunity to
follow their colleagues of the upper
house to the conventions now in ses
sion at Nampa.
Friends of the primary system will
place before the present legislature a
bill whose object is to return to the
statutes of Idaho a law providing for
the nomination of senatorial, con
gressional, state, legislative and coun
ty officers by direct primary eiec
tions. Such a measure Is In the proc
ess of construction. It will probably
be introduced next week. Every ef
fort will be made to obtain serious
consideration of it in both houses,
is said.

Oscar Home, who fathered "Tabor's
bill of rights" when he was In the
1919 session, arrived today, with a
sightless man. Mr. Horne Is trying
to have something done to speed up
an industrial establishment for the
blind, as voted for by the people at
a special election. Mr. Home's labor
bill Is likely to be roughly handled
this session, particularly the picket
ing provision.
A member of the third house, not
wishing to pay for his own dinner
at the Marion, telephoned a prom
inent former lobbyist in Portland and
asked if he could sign the latter's
name to the meal check. As the third
house man said he was a member of
the Multnomah delegation, the erst

Now the Multnomah representative,
having heard how his name was tak
en In vain, is trying to prove bis
innocence to the former lobbyist.
Sam Brown of Gervals came to the
legislature with a complaint. He has
been trying to beautify his land along
the Pacific highway by planting
shrubs. Every time he puts out a
few shrubs, stray cattle come along
and destroy them. Mr. Brown, tired t
of feeding strange cows with expen
sive ornamental hedges, wants a law
against the critters. Eastern Oregon
legislators favor it, with the proviso
that it will not apply to their part
of the country, where the state roads
are used to drive cattle.
There is a sneaking suspicion that
one reason the legislators will ad
journ Thursday is to give the mem
bers a chance to be in Portland Fri
day for the boxing tournament. A
resolution addressed to the boxing
commission to have the bout pulled
off In Salem was written and ready
for Introduction in the event that the
adjournment concurrent resolution
failed. Of course the legislators ex
pect to be on the free list at the
fight.
Senator Ryan does things In style.
He has his own big passenger car to
take him from the state house to the
Elks' club, a distance of four Salem
blocks one block being equivalent
to about a quarter of a mile. He con
fides that his old boat can go 90
miles an hour, but he can't get any
one to ride with him when he dem
onstrates that speed.
Elmer Dodd, former member, ar
rived today to make a report as a

Combing Won't Rid
Hair of Dandruff
The only sure way to get rid of dan-
druff Is to dissolve it, then you de
stroy It entirely. To do this, get about
four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon:
apply It at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the sculp and rub
It In gently with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning
most, if not all, of your dandruff will
be gone, and three or four more ap
plications will completely dissolve
and entirely destroy every single sign
and trace of It, no matter how much
dandruff you may have
Tou will find, too, that alt Itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy, lus

Thousands of married people are CROSS, CRABBED AND
. GRUMPY, with each other all the while READY TO FLY
OFF at the slightest thing when it isn't their fault at all.
IRON STARVATION OF THE BLOOD has sapped their
nerve force and left them nervous wrecks so that they have no
control of themselves and they therefore "GO ALL TO
PIECES" on the slightest provocation.
A New York Physician says that MORE THAN ONE-HALF
THE POPULATION OF AMERICA PERISHES BEFORE
MIDDLE AGE and that one of the chief contributory causes
of this terrible waste of human life is the devitalizing weakness
brought on by lack of iron in the blood.
THERE ARE 30,000,000,000,000 RED BLOOD CORPUSCLES
IN YOUR BLOOD AND EACH ONE MUST HAVE IRON.
An enormous number of people who ought to be strong, vigor
ous and in the prime of life are constantly complaining of weak
nervous headaches, pains across the back,
. disturbed digestion, shortness of breath,
heart palpitation, a general "run-down"
condition, melancholy, bad memory, etc.,
when the real cause of all their suffering
is in many cases nothing more or less
than IRON STARVATION OF THE
BLOOD.
The proof of this rs shown by the fact that when
organic Iron is supplied to their blood, that all
their multitude of symptoms often quickly dis
appear and the very men and women who were
formerly so complaining now become strong, heal
thy and vigorous with even dispositions and a
sonny cheeriul nature. When your blood is starv
ing for iron, no mere tonics or stimulants can put
you .lent starving blood must have
iron the same as a star-vine rerson
must have food. Without iron your
blood loses Its power to change food in
to living tissue and nothing yon eat
does yon the proper amount of good
you do not get the full strength out of it.
Nature put plenty of Iron in the busks
of grains and the akin and peels of vege
tables and fruits to enrich your blood,
but modem methods of cookery tiirow
all these things away hence the alarm
ing Increase, in recent years, in anaemia
Iron-starvation of the blood witiiall
Its attendant ilia.
If yon are not willing to go back to na
ture then you should eat more such iron
containing vegetables as spinach and
carrots and reinforce them by taking a
little organic iron from time to time.
But be sure the iron you take is organic
iron and not metallic iron which people
usually take. Metallic iron is iron just as it
comes from the action of strong acids on small
pieces of iron and is therefore an entirely differ
ent thing from organic iron. Organic iron is
like the iron in your blood and like the iron in
spinach, lentils and apples. It may be had from
your druggist under the name of Nuzated Iron.
Nuaated Iron represents organic iron in such a
highly condensed form that one dose of it Is
estimated to be approximately equivalent (in
