These bills incorporate the main features of the port consolidation plan proposed at the last election, with revisions and amendments to meet objections raised to the original consolidation measure. Bill No. 1, whii-h contains the meat of the consolidation measure, provides for the purchase of propert y of the City of Portia nd now control led by the comm ission of public docks by the Port of Port land, and for con solidation of t he membership of the two commissions to form a new port commission of 12 members.

Veteran Mariner Declares That He Could Have Read In Light Furnished by Flashes. t The passenger steamer Rose City, of the San Francisco & Portland Steamship company, which arrived Wednesday afternoon from San Fran cisco, passes through an electrical storm on her last southward trip from Portland. Captain T. J. Macgenn. commander of the vessel, declared the storm was the most terrific in his ex perience, and was like "the wrath of the gods." According to Captain Maegenn's ac count, the storm was encountered on the night of January 6, while the Rose City was bucking a stiff south easterly breeze and considerable sea about 150 miles south of the Columbia river. "The first terrific fork lightning flashed through the darkness in the southeast, theri the whole heavens were lighted up by sheet ligh-tning so that one could read a newspaper on the bridge," said the captain. "Th.is tasted for ten minutes, and was fol lowed by a terrific hail squall. The hailstones were as large as marbles, and similar to those which visit only the Polar regions. "According to wireless reports, the storm was of a semi-circular nature. Its center was at the mouth of the Columbia, the nortjiern quadrant about about Vancouver island, and the limit of the southern quadrant at Cape Arago. Short ly after the hail squal I. which w as accompan ied with terrific w tnd from a southwesterly direction, struck the sh'p, a calm fol lowed, and the vessel passed across the line that marked the limit of the southern quadrant.
