iTerminal No. 1 for One Group
Is Favored.
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.

BELFAST. May 20. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Ulster, on the eve of
the elections, the first to be held
under the system of proportional rep
resentation, today waa like a region
at war. Armored cars were . here,
there and everywhere; lorry loads of
police and military came and went,
and the military was guarding head
quarters of all royalist activities.
There have been no more than the
usual number of clashes between rival
factions which have occurred in Ul
ster elections for a generation, and
nothing beyond this was anticipated
by those in the best position to Judge.
However, the authorities were tak
ing no chances. Forces were kept
ready for possible disturbances.
For election day. May 24, further
precautions will be taken, such as
closing of all licensed premises.
As for the results of the polling,
the unionists today were very confi
dent, declaring they would win 34 out
of the 62 seats.
It was generally believed the wom
en would vote as their husbands have
always voted and that the socialist
vote among the workmen which is
likely to go to the Sinn Fein will be
offset by Catholics, who heretofore
have voted nationalist, but who dis
agree with the extreme policy of the
amn r em.
The nationalists hare expressed
rear that the combined forces of the
nationalists and Sinn Feiners will not
win more thzn from 12 to 18 seats.
