AGENTS OF LINES MEET All Trans-Pacific Business Being Handled at "o. 4 .in St. Tolws Also Advocated. Utilization of municipal terminal No. 1, at the foot of Sixteenth street, exclusively for lntercoastal business and the grouping- of all trans-Pacific business at terminal No. 4 In St. Johns, was urged upon the commis sion of public docks yesterday morn ing- by representatives of all lnter coastal lines serving- Portland. ' The purpose of the movement Is to oblige the Columbia-Pacific Shipping . company to berth Its north China lin ers at terminal No.- 4 and to relieve congestion at the up-town terminal. - It was pointed out that if the pVlvl lege of using this terminal is to be ac corded to the Columbia-Pacific com pany it should be extended also to the Admiral line and the Toyo Klsen Xaisha, whose trans-Pacific steamers have been berthing at terminal No. 4. Advantage Is Noted. The proximity of the up-town terminal to the wholesale section is said to give the user of this terminal at considerable advantage over his competitor on the delivery of local in Ward freight The contention that the crowding- of terminal No. 1 Is becoming a serious 1 problem with the increase of the ln tercoastal trade was supported by Chief Eng-Ineer Hegardt of the dock commission. Erskine wood, attorney and director of the Columbia-Pacific company, expressed the belief that . this congestion is not eo great as painted, and stated that his company would be willing to move its trans- Pacific steamers out of the way when they interfere with the berthing of a vessel in the coast-to-coast trade. Hatter Under Advisement. The entire matter of assignment of Chips to docks was taken under ad visement by the dock commission for decision at an early date. In the meanwhile, the engineer was authorized to advertise for bids for two barges to be used as lighters in moving freight from one of the mu nicipal terminals to another as occa sion requires, or for other lighterage work in the harbor.

TWO STEAMERS EX ROUTE MOVE FOR DREDGE BEG TJX Aberdeen Asks Fulfillment of Fed' eral Promise. ABERDEEN. Wash, May 20. (Spe cial.) Commercial bodies of Grays Harbor 'county will be asked to take an active part In a campaign launched by the Aberdeen chamber of com merce to secure fulfillment of federal ' promises of a deep-sea dredge for the harbor bar. The chamber took the Initiative after listening to a re port by H. IL'Delanty to the effect that if a dredg'eejbe not secured, ex penditure of port moneys. voted last year for inner harbor improvements will be .futile. How much money Is available for construction of a dredge for Grays harbor has not been determined, despite voluminous correspondence of harbor residents with Senators Poin dexter and Jones, and Representative Albert Johnson of the third district. As nearly as can be ascertained, the amount would be a pro rata of the 1920 and 1921 rivers and harbors ap propriations, each of which was far below the amounts asked by the federal board of engineers.
