of In the report as follows:
"The entrance to the Columbia
river, where a bar once existed, now
has a depth of 42 feet at mean low
water. The entrance channel is over
half a mile w ide. This condition has
existed since completion of the Jetties
end is permanent; In fact the channel
Is gradually widening and deepening.
"With this adequate and permanent
entrance channel existing, the next
step Is to secure a channel of equal
stability between the Columbia river
entrance and Portland of such depth
and width that any vessel that can
enter the river may proceed to Port
land without hindrance. To accom
plish this, the Port of Portland will
concentrate its future efforts, a. It
recognizes the channel to be first
requisite of the port."

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 1 f Special. )
Tho Issue of whether San Francisco is to
have adequate ship tonnage in the future
to care for Its cargo and passenger needs
in the orient is causing much concern
among the entire shipping community of
the city. Conditions nave been unsatis
factory for some time, and with the pro
gramme of allocation of shipping board
vessels to this port coming up for recon
sideration before the shipping board in
Washington next Monday, meetings of ex
ecutives of the chamber of commerce and
the big trans-Pacific steamship companies
operating out of this port have been held
and a plan outlined to prevent if possible
any change unfavorable to this city being
made.
Mexico has purchased another former

The Cuba had a rough passage down the

Transcontinental Import rates of $1
a hundred on copra and $1.05 a hun
dred on vegetable oils will Decome
effective from Pacific coast porta to
Cincinnati and Intermediate points
February 26, according to announce
ment received yesterday from the
agrent of the transcontinental rreigfnt
bureau bv H. E. Lounsbury, general
freight agent of th O.-W. R. & N'.
The effect will be to place Pacific
coast porta on an equal footing with
Atlantic ports In handling this class
of Imports for the Chicago territory.
The new rate on these commodities
is in line with the general policy of
the transcontinental railways, which
are seeking to restore the parity of
import and export freight rates to the
region east of Chicago, which was
disturbed by the revised freight tar
iff which became effective in August,
1920.
Concession First Obtained.
According to Mr. Lounsbury, the
new rate on copra and vegetable oils
is the first the companies have been
able to secure. In restoring equality
of import and export rates to that
territory the transcontinental systems
must secure the concurrence or east
ern lines and until now their efforts
have not been successful.
The new ate on copra and vege
table oils is an extension of the pres
ent Chicago and St. Louis rate to Cin
cinnati and intermediary points. The
tariffs were secured in concurrence
with the Louisville & Nashville and
the Louisvi.le. Henderson & St. Louis
railways.
A new rate of 85 cents a hundred
pounds from Pacific coast ports to
Welland, Ont., was also announced by
the freight bureau. The new rate wiil
place American Pacific ports on an
equal footing with Vancouver, B. C.
in handling hemp imports to Welland.
Ihe Welland rate is equal to the Chi
rate. The tariff was secured
through concurrence of the Wabash
railway with the transcontinental
lines. Shipments will b- via Chicago
over the Wabash railway.
31 ore Traffic Expected.
The effect of restoring parity of
mport and export freight rates,
which the transcontinental railways
are now seeking to secure In other
lines, in addition to copra and vege
table oils, will be a noticeable in
crease in exports and imports through
Pacific ports. Under the present
schedules a large amount of oriental
trade Is diverted to Atlantic and Gulf
ports. Under equalized rates the gain
in time will throw much business to
the Pacific coast at the expense of
the canal route.

Persons t the auction of unclaimed
railway baggage at the Ainsworth
dock yesterday were treated to some
thing more than the ordinary thrills,
for every ehrewd eye that had grown
bright in the shadows of pawnshop or
second-hand store in the city was
there to bid for unseen prizes. With
one-horse drays, wheelbarrows, auto
trucks and on foot they came primed
for the unusual fray.
The man who bid $4.50 for a mys
terious packing case, large enough
for a family cook stove, or even a
small piano, received by common con
sent the unofficial prize for bad
breaks. When he ripped off the top
boards with trembling hands he found
it packed tighWwith a shipment of
old papers that had gone astray.
Others were less considerate of the
curiosity of the crowd, for they re
served for the privacy of their own
homes the thrills of delving deep into
the baggage other hands had packed.
Women, victorious even against the
odds that the day brought forth
against them, for the second-hand
dealers, though cautious, were game,
staggered toward the entrance with
suit cases which sagged suspiciously
like the dead weight of bricks.
One lucky man who silenced all
competing voices with a 12.50 bid for
two suitcases poked a cautious finger
through the bulging opening in one.
Beneath paper collars and frayed
neckties he unearthed a pair of small
forceps, the remnant of the kit of
some itinerant dentUt who had part
ed with his baggage. The other and
more substantial suit case he reserved
for later inspection.
Many who came to bid were dis
appointed and remained only to watch
those who were less exacting in their
requirements. A great bulk of the
packages at auction were soiled blan
ket rolls, baggage left by loggers or
laborers, which cprried little of mys
tery or intrinsic value.
Baby buggies, boxes of miscellane
ous articles, broken suit cases, packed
barrack bags, bedding rolls and a few
trunks made up the bulk of the ar
ticles on sale. Bricks, old papers,
worthless clothing, pine cones and
many other disappointing finds were
for uncovered by purchasers who dug into
their prizes on the spot.
Bids, while not surprisingly high
In many cases were far above the
value of the articles offered. Some,
perhaps, made real finds, but all at
least received their money's worth of
thrills.

Surplus Food to Be Collected and

From Lack of Food.
All farm bureaus throughout the
state, according to assurances from
George A. Mansfield of Medford,
president of the Oregon farm bureau,
will co-operate energetically in the
work of obtaining and assembling
Oregon foodstuffs from surplus

of the farm bureau organization will'
be immediately set to work to stim
ulate interest and activity, in ail

which promises' not only generous
supplies of wholesome food for the
suffering Chinese, but will, through
the shipment of surplus stocks out

OLYMPIA, Wash., Feb. 16. (Spe
cial.) Answering attacks made on
the state department of education,
Mrs. Josephine Corliss Preston, state
superintendent of public instruction,
tonight issued the following state
ment. "My attention has been called to
published statements attacking the
state department of education for its
opposition to the school code. The
statement that we have scattered 97,
000 pieces of literature against it over
the state Is untrue. Seven thousand
copies of the extract from our bien
nial report, analyzing the bill and set
ting forth Its provisions, were paid
for out of the regular printing fund
of the department's budget to give
the people of the Btate information as
to the proposed changes. Several dif
ferent articles pertaining to the code
were sent out by mimographed circu
lars. "The state superintendent is elected
by the people to represent them in
the supervision of their schools, and
it is my duty to inform them of pro
posed changes In school administra
tion. If the code should be enacted
into law it would be my duty to ad
minister its provisions for the next
four years. This department is re
sponsible to the people for state
school administration and we are en
titled to have some voice as to the
means by which we are to work out
our policies. We have been uncom
promisingly opposed to substituting a
system of appointive group control
of the schools for local control.
"Extension workers from the state
normal schools, and even some of the
presidents, have neglected their legiti
mate business to travel about to urge
the imposition of an unrepresentative
and undemocratic school system.
Members of the code commission have
made a published report at public ex
pense and have brought assistants
from outside the state to forte the
plan upon the slate. The state de
partment or education nukes no
apology for meeting this propaganda
by publishing the facts of the matter
and throwing the flight of publicity
upon the objects of the code."
