"We have been contemplating

City Scoured for Site.
The purchase of the site by the
Portland Vegetable Oil Mills com
pany ws made after a search of the
city had been made with a view to
obtaining a location for the proposed
plant, according to Mr. Ward.
"A site in v ancouver was offered
an advantageous terms, with the
probability that the city of Vancouver
would have contributed a portion of
the purchase price, but we wanted to
locate In Portland owing to the fact
that the money had been raised here.
We fert that It would be a sort of
Betrayal of trust to take the plant
elsewhere. For that reason the offer
was turned down.
i ill Toe Expeaarve.
Mr. Ward said that the elte In
Linnton, on which It was originally
Intended to place the plant, had not
been taken owing to the fact that it
would have been too expensive to
fill In.
"I am satisfied." said Mr. Ward
yesterday, "that we have obtained
the best site in the city for our pur
pose." Mr. Ward said the original $700,000
of stock in the oil company was being
augmented by an additional $100,000
which was being sold now.

O MATTER what was In your
past, it is the man you are
now that I love," Jocelyn
Wray told John Steele, a famous
criminal lawyer, and the red-blooded
two-fisted hero of "Half a Chance,'
the feature opening today at the Peo
ples theater.
But when he was Identified as an
escaped murderer she turned from
him in horror. Then he told her that
he had been a prizefighter, of whom
drink had made a derelict. A murder
was framed up against him and he
was convicted. He escaped, was ship
wrecked and cast ashore on a desert
Island, where he spent the years until
his rescue studying law from books
found on a wreck.
Did she believe him Innocent? Did
she love him in spite of his past? Did
she admire the spirit and the grit of
the man who had conquered with less
than naif a chance? These questions
are answered in an interesting man
ner in the plot of "Half a Chance,"
an adaptation of Frederic S. Isham's
greatest novel, with Mahlon Hamil
ton and Lillian Rich featured.

Bartlett Sinclair of Boise
Secretary of Interior
Know Irrigation Problems-
Says
Should
That citizens of Idaho are prepared
to make a great drive for the appoint
ment of Governor Davis of that state
as secretary of the interior In Presi
dent-elect Harding's cabinet. Is the
announcement of Bartlett Sinclair, an
attorney of Boise and at one time
state auditor of Idaho. Mr. Sinclair
was a visitor in Portland yesterday.
Production of foodstuffs is one of
the greatest questions before the
American government today, Sinclair
said, discussing the candidacy of
Davis for the cabinet. To get more
people back to the farm, and to in
crease farm production, it will be
necessary for the government to take
the leadership in the movement to
Irrigate arid and semi-arid lands, and
to improve logged-off lands he said.
and to direct such work as thiss which
Is under the department of the in
terior, a western man acquainted with
these problems should be chosen, he
urged.
"Governor " Davis," said Sinclair,
was elected governor of Idaho re
cently for a second term by a big
majority. He Is a banker of America
Falls, a substantial and capable busi
ness man, and not a politician in the
accepted sense of the word. While he
Is not directly connected with any
Irrigation companies, he has a thor
ough understanding of the problems
or irrigation and would bring to the
oince of secretary of the interior an
unusually keen and well-informed
mind. His selection would be a great
thing for Oregon and Washington, as
well as for Idaho, and in fact for all
states where the problem of bringing
water to the sou is being considered."
oovernor Davis, the visitor .de
clared, had an excellent chance for
the appointment, havlnar the suDDort
of Senator Borah and a large number
oi iniiuentiai republicans.

solution which was passed by the

sisting to defeat the following bills:
Whereas. Two bills have been introduced
in the legislature by Representative Kay,
now In session at Salem, under title of
house bills 22 and 23, which have for their
purpose the placing of the administration
of the Industrial welfare commission and
the board of Inspectors of child labor
under the commissioner of labtor; and.
Whereas, Said commissioner la an elected
officer and there is great danger that the
two departments will be used for political
purposes; and,
Whereas, These two departments are
under the direction of commissions of well
known citizens who receive remuneration
for their services and whose Judgment
will be made subservient to that of said
elective official; and.
Whereas, the work among the women
and children Is the direct Interest of the
clubwomen of the state and the two laws
creating these departments were passed
'at the Instance of the clubwomen and we,
the members of the Portland Woman's
club, do not believe that the change con
templated by these two bills will be to
the best advantage of the women and
children in Industry, therefore, be It re
solved, that we most emphatically protest
against the passage of these two measures
that we do all In our power as a club
and as Individual members to defeat them.

Disarmament or Bankruptcy
-Which?
The entire sum needed to save the lives of three and a half millions of starving children
in the war devastated areas of Europe is less than the cost of one modern battleship,
according to Mr. Hoover. An English super-dreadnought of the latest type is said to cost
more than $32,000,000. Correspondents put the cost of Japan's new fighting monster, the
Mutsu, at $40,000,000. A United States battle-cruiser of the formidable type of the Lex
ington costs the taxpayer about $23,000,000 to build. The United States naval estimates
for 1921, the New York World notes, are nearly $700,000,000, as compared with naval
appropriations of about $400,000,000 in Great Britain, and about $150,000,000 in Japan
and the United States is facing a deficit for the current fiscal year of appproximately
$2,000,000,000 ! An official statistician recently showed that ninety-three cents out of every
dollar collected by the United States Government goes to pay for past or future wars.
"Disarmament," says Major-General Tasker H. Bliss, who was Military Representative
of the United States on the Supreme War Council and Commissioner Plenipotentiary on
the American Peace Commission, "is the only means of preserving the world from bank
ruptcy and civilization from ruin."
The proposal for, a general disarmament of the nations of the world is arousing the
deepest interest in all countries. The leading article in THE LITERARY DIGEST this
