14 TIIE HORNING OIIEGOXIAN, SATURDAT, MAT 21, 11)21 SITE IS FOUND FOB AUTO BUS TERMINAL Quarters at Sixth and Pine Streets Favored. DECISION SOON EXPECTED Second Station May Be Established in Another Section of Portland Shortly. The ground floor of ths American , Lesion building1 at Sixth and Pine streets probably will be chosen as a aite for one of the automobile stage . terminals. Members of the special traffic committee of the city council viewed the property yesterday and - agreed that It was the best site to be found north of Washington street. If the officials of Portland post No. 1 agree on terms satisfactory to the committee, recommendation will be made to the council that this building- be designated as a terminal, from which all automobile stages running; north of Portland must operate. If the designation la approved by the council all such automobile stages ' will be forced to relinquish parking ; privileges on the public streets, the council having agreed to revoke per mits granted for stands on the streets. The question of establishing- an other terminal for auto buses running . to points south of Portland will be taken up at once by the special com m it tee. Proposed sites for such i station will be viewed today, it was ' announced, and a decision early next week is expected. , Second Terminal Uncertain. S Should the council decide that it wil' not be practicable to have two automobile stage terminals in the ' city, all stages running in and out ' of Portland will be required to use the northern terminal. ' The city does not propose to oper : ate the terminal, but will pass on ; the rates to be charged, and after approval will make it a part of the ' requirement to obtain a license that J the automobile stage operators use the official terminal. t Mayor Baker yesterday received a ; communication from Dr. E. A. Rockey, chairman of the special traffic cora r mittee of the Chamber of Commerce, in which he urged that speedy action be taken in formulation of a new traffic code to relieve- present con ditions. In reply to the mayor's criticism of members of this committee for failure to appear before the council last Thursday to outline their recommen ; dations. Dr. Rockey said: "The com- mittee did not choose to engage in any wordy controversy with more or less conscientious objectors to the one-way traffic plan." Report Not Discarded. The Chamber of Comeree report, carrying with It certain recommenda- i t'ons for reforms in the traffic code ' has not been discarded, according to Mayor Baker. The report has been referred to the special traffic com mittee of the council. It is probable that a part of the recommendations made by the Cham ber of Commerce committee will be adopted in the new traffic code, but the indications at present are that members of the council will go even farther than the committee recom mended. Mayor Baker will make a study of traffic conditions on his coming east ern trip and will return to Portland with detailed reports, showing what is being done in other cities. These data will be laid before the council and it is probable that the new code, which the council is determined to pass, 'will be completed some time, in July.

A thorough discussion of the plan sponsored in Portland by W. F. Woodward of the school board for the moral and religious education of school children was held yesterday at a meeting of representative citi lens In the Y. M. C. A. auditorium. Definite action taken art the meeting consisted in the adoption of a reso lution expressing the appreciation of . the meeting at the stand taken In the matter by the school board and the adoption of a motion for the se lection of a committee of seven or more members, including representa tives from the various religious faiths, to form a definite plan for religious education of school children to be presented to the school board. The skeleton plan, as expounded to the meeting by Mr. Woodward, pro vides that children, whose parents request it, shall be excused from school for a certain length of time each week to attend classes of reli gion provided by their churches at some suitable place. Only those chil dren whose parents request their ex cuse from school for religious and moral training would be affected by the proposed order. Nearly all the various religious sects and organizations were repre sented at the meeting, which was called by the Federation of Churches in response to a resolution adopted by the school board on February 24. A long discussion followed Mr. Woodward's presentation of the plan as adopted in other cities, and the meeting finally adopted the resolu tion mentioned, which was offered by Dr. Harold L. Bowman, pastor of the First Presbyterian church. On the motion of Dr. Joshua Stans field of the First Methodist church, a committee of three was authorized to select the final committee of seven or more which is to put the resolution Into immediate effect. Ralph C. Mc Afee, secretary of the church fed eration; Father James H. Black, rep resenting the Catholic church, and Eabbi Jonah B. Wise, representing the Jewish faith, were chosen as the basic committee. and yard equipment for the expe ditious handling of the product from one department to another, as well as for shipment and home distribu tion, will be of the latest type. The Peninsula Lumber company. strictly an Oregon corporation, is at testing to the faith of its stockhold ers in the upbuilding of home in dustries and in the expansion of fa cilities from a central unit. As to the wisdom of such confidence the man agement yesterday added to its of ficial announcement of the new plant the following: "The management of the company feels that no Portlander or Oregon ian should be perturbed because of existing business conditions. Admit tedly the conditions are far from per fect and perhaps restorative changes may seem to develop slowly, yet it appears proved that business in gen eral. and the lumber industry in par tlcular, has ceased its that contributed ten finished steam ers and two schooner hulls to the American fleet. They were 4000-ton carriers and were of a special type designed by the builders. "Since makingr our first Invest ments in the plant we have had reason to feel our judgment was Jus tified and in the decision to under take doubling the facilities is shown the confident attitude of those con cerned," said Mr. Knapp, yesterday. "Our aim has been to grow with the city and state and the commercial prominence both have attained today unquestionably warrants the latest expansion."

"We are sanguine that when this change is generally noted by the masses, and it is already felt in some spheres. Portlanders will experience the thrill and reap the benefits soon er than any section in the United States. We are favored in being centrally located as regards the vast forests of Oregon and Washington we are in an advantageous position as concerns the distribution of man ufactured products and, as far as the west is to be considered, are blessed with natural advantages surpassing those of any other Pacific Coast city. so in undertaking what appear as problems now in striving for the re turn of satisfying times It Is simply a matter or backing tne judgment of our minds win the work of our hands." Company Organized In 1003, The original Peninsula Lumber company, then a Wisconsin corpora tion, was formed in 1903 with a cap ital stock of 3100,000. In 1906 the capital stock was Increased to 3300,- 000 and in 1910 to (400.000. The com pany's initial investment was the purchase of the old Cone millsite comprising a location 600 feet square. The concern soon acquired adjacent property so that it held land front ing on the river for about 1400 feet and later purchases extended the holdings on the river to 3100 feet. In taking over the operation of the Cone mill the daily output was speed ed from 20,000 feet to 150,000 in 10 hours, that being brought about by the addition of resaws and such equipment. The purchase of the stock of the Wisconsin corporation in 1916 by Portland interests resulted in that company being dissolved and an Oregon corporation was formed with an authorized capital of 32,000, 000. Other than stock held by the Alexander-Stewart Lumber company of Wausau, . and Charles Edgar of Essex Falls, N. J., the present hold ings are controlled here. Concern Expands Rapidly, The change to an Oregon-con trolled organization witnessed the building of the 1000-foot export dock, the purchase of three tracts of val uable standing timber and Increasing of the production of the plant from 150,000 feet of lumber in 10 hours to 200.000 feet in eight hours, equipment added to make that possible being heavier resaws and a gangsaw. The next step was the buying of prop erty on the north that increased the length of the site to 3550 feet and with adequate space assured consid eration was given the expansion pro gramme that has resulted in the way being paved for its realization, as an nounced yesterday. Records Indicate that up to 1916 a major portion or tne output sold away from home moved by railroad. and at present deliveries are being made via every transcontinental line in America, but provision for loading as well as manufacturing has cred ited appreciable gains for the plant In deepwater shipments. Investors Are Optimistic. Whole favored as to location on the river the Peninsula mill is as well situated for railroad connec tions. The district contiguous af fords homes for its workers, Though the additional plant will increase its personnel to a marked degree, hous ing problems are not looming. During the war the Peninsula plant was in the front rank of plants en gaged in supporting the fighting forces and in addition to its lumber output, figuring in all manner of projects Identified with the pro gramme of combat, there was main tained a shipyard Jon the property ' United States and England.
