However, if It develops upon Mr. Dcdson's arrival at the national capi tal that the interests of this city re auiro the presence of additional rep resentatives, they will be on hand, said Mr. VanDuzer. Pool Believed Ialmtcal. From all facts In our possession to date." said Mr. VanDuzer, we can see no reason to change our attitude toward the proposed pool as put for ward in San Francisco at the recent conference there. We believe It would be Inimical to the best interests of this port. The proceedings at San .Francisco were rushed through with unneces sary rapidity. It is felt by us that any plan that will be followed will be of such Importance and great moment teat the same speed will not be recorded at Washington. It Is our feeling that the decencies of the oc casion demand that i$. be not behind closed doors, as it was in ban ran Cisco, but that whatever plan is de cided upon for the restoration of our merchant fleet to private ownership will have to be one into which the public has been taken and in which the public will have confidence, cer tainly the interests of the people, who own these ships must be con sidered. More Time Expected. -. We are confident that w hen the subject comes up at Washington that there will be ample time for both sides to be heard and, furthermore, we bel'eve that Portland will not stand alone in Its policy of refusing to be come a party to any 'closed-door' pro posal, but that there will be many other American ports. "We shall stand by to see that the Interests of this port are fully safe guarded. Should Mr. Dodson, upon his arrival In Washington, find that It would be wise for us to have ad d't'onal representation there when the hearing comes' up, we shall take steps to have our friends on the job in sufficient numbers to meet what ever situation may arise."

ANT STIRS CEDAR BUYING JAPAN IMPORTS WOOD THAT PEST WON'T EAT. Large Quantities of Logs In Stor age In Tacoma Ready for Ship ment to Orient. TACOMA. Wash.. Feb. 2. (Special.) The white ant .of Japan is one of the reasons for the great boom in the cedar-log business at the port of Tacoma, accordingr to information given to Traffic Agent Gribble by Japanese steamship men here to get cargo.

It is said to have an appetite similar to the winged ant in this section, which can be found in all old fir stumps gnawing: its way to vigor, and it has been destructive in Japan. The Japanese discovered that the ant did not like cedar, so they are specializing on that kind of wood. Cedar is being used not only for house construction, it is said, but for pencils, toys and even railway ties, the railway ties having in the past been especial sufferers from the white ant's boring habits. The port of Tacoma has several thousand feet of cedar logs in stor age now for Japanese delivery and more are coming. The J. H.
