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.

POLICY TO BE FRAMED
RELIGIOUS EDUCATION" PLAA
AVILIi BE DRAFTED.
Citizens Discuss W. F. Woodward's
Proposal to Teach Portland
School Children.
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.

The Peninsula Lumber company.
strictly an Oregon corporation, is at

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

may seem to develop slowly, yet it
appears proved that business in gen

"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."

Portland to Reap Benefit.
"We are sanguine that when this

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.

'Tt' an actual fact, I'm
health for the -first time In thirty
years and I owe my present splendid
condition to Tanlac and nothing else,"

C. J. Budlong, well-known and high
ly respected citizen of Manchester,

"Practically all my life I had had
rheumatism, and when I say rheuma
tism I mean every word of It. It was
all over my body and especially bad in
my feet and legs and there were
times when I couldn't get from my
bed to my chair without help. And
from the time I was a boy I couldn't
sit down and eat a good meal without
being in misery afterwards and I
would have terrible pains around my
heart and frequent attacks of palpi
tation and dizziness.
"I had a stubborn case of consti
pation, was troubled awfully with
good blinding headaches and hardly knew
what sleep was. My suffering has
almost made a complete nervou
wreck of me and I was so weak 1
wasn't worth a nickel as far as work
was concerned. I thought my trou
bles had a life-long grip on ma an&
was about as discouraged at a sua
ever gets.
"Well, before I had finished my
first bottle of Tanlac I realized It was
different from anything I ever tried.
It suited my case exactly. And noil
for almost the first time since I caa
remember I can eat anything I want
and digest It. I haven't an ache or I
pain and have gained fifteen pound
In weight. I JiiKt feel good all over
and am full of life and energy then
days. Everywhere I go I talk Tan
lac. It hasn't an equal."
