si
Following close inspection of ter
minal No. 4 at St. Johns by R. A. Long
and a party of executive heads and
department managers of the Long
Bell lumber organizations, who were
In the city yesterday, speculation was
revived as to whether the big lumber
concern was not planning for a Port
land eite for ita principal Oregon
plant.
. Vessels working cargo at the ter-
rninal, the character of shipments
moving, classes of commodities
usually passed over the various piers,
the destination of general freight
movements, depth of water in the
slips and a ecore of other subjects all
came in for consideration in the data
fathering visit. In fact, there was
little about the property bearing on
the shipment of lumber and general
cargo that was not covered by the
Questions. t
J. Walter Ransom, in charge of the
terminal for the commission of public
docks, personally acted as guide for
the party, except when it was divided,
and a special detail gave attention
to a "close up" of cargo-handling fa
cilities. Mr. Long evinced deep inter
est in the numerous details, often
asking pointed questions.
Another inspection under way si
multaneously was by Captain B. J.
Rundberg, marine superintendent for
the Trans-Atlantic Steamship Com
pany. Ltd.. with headquarters at
Gothenburg. He was accompanied by
E. E. Johnson, Portland representative
fjthe fleet, and Captain McDonald 'of
the Oregon Stevedoring company.
Captain Jack Speier acted as pilot
for the party. Captain Rundberg
.made the trip north aboard the
steamer Anten, which reached Astoria
to load 1,000.000 feet of lumber for
Sydney and Melbourne in the regular
service of the line.
Conditions at the terminal were
praised by Captain Rundberg. who'
classed the facilities here as among
the best he had seen and the generar
Plan or tne terminal the most ad
vantageous, considering the area
made use of. He will leave tomorrow
aboard the Anten for Puget sound.
As a change from maritime scenery.
Captain Rundberg was taken over the
Columbia, River highway in the after
noon as the guest of Mr. Johnson.
LABOR PROBLEM HELD EASY
Shipping Board Approves Collect
tive Bargaining System.
"WASHINGTON, D. C, March 20.
The shipping board has adopted a
policy of "collective bargaining" in
its relations with its dock and ma
rine labor. Commissioner O'Connor
eaid today in a report to President
Harding on the board's Industrial re
lations from June, 1921, to Febru
ary, 1922.
"The American merchant marine
can never be made a success by
merely noiaing down wages, Mr.
O'Connor said.
"The policy of the shinning board
in making labor readjustments on its
own snips, nowever, nas been an at
at tuirmug inem out in an
orderly manner through collective
bargaining wherever possible.1 Thus
we have been able in the past few
montns to inaugurate a saving in
longshore and marine labor wages
without serious interruption, thereby
juaiujiug mai policy.'

BIG IiU3IBER ORDER PLACED
New York Company to Get 105,-
000,000 Feet From Northwest.'
PORT TOWN SEND, Wash., 'March
SO. (Special.) The lumber industry
of the northwest has received an im
petus from the placing- of an order
for more than 100,000,000 feet for de
livery at Atlantic ports during- the
present year. The crder was made
by the Dutton Lumber company of
New York; and calls for 35,000,000 feet
from the Columbia river mills and
70,000,000 feet from mills on Puget
eound. This is believed to be the
largest order ever given to mills in
the northwest. The lumber is to be
delivered to Atlantic ports by the
Luckenbach Steamship company.
- As a result the Luckenbach com
pany will increase its fleet of steam
ers to the northwest in order to han
dle this quantity of lumber, and it is
understood that it will place several
of its largest carriers in this service.

American-Hawaiian Craft in Port
Second Carrier of Name.
Shipping 'men who recalled earlier
days of the American-Hawaiian serv
ice and had in mind the steamer Ne

rier that came here when a through
service was first established, real
ized when the Nevadan came along
side the Southern Pacific slip yester
day that she could not be the craft
that pioneered in the fleet. The Ne
vadan, built by the American-Hawaiian,
together with the Nebraskan, fell
into other hands during the war,
while the present Nevadan was one
of the vessels acquired from the

iSERKICE HY BE REDUCED
FEWER VESSELS O'S ORIENTAL)
KtN MAY FOLLOW RATE CUTS.
Operators Feel That Redactions
Cannot Be Maintained as No
Profit Can Be Realized.
Reduction of the steamer service
between Portland and oriental ports
so as to maintain only sufficient ton
nage for needs of commerce as a
means of combating rate war con
ditions, should the influence of lower
tariffs be felt here, is one remedy un
der consideration. There were no de
velopments yesterday affecting Port
land and there are those who view the
situation as one which may not
spread to affect local movements ma
terially. Just what steps are to be taken
concerning shipping board vessels is
said to be before the executives at
Washington and their attitude may be
made known today. As the rate
eutting is admittedly a war to attract
transcontinental freight to be handled
by lines serving Puget sound and San
Francisco, immediate action by Port
land lines would not be expected, in
asmuch as the stable business here
is cargo that originates in the terri
tory for outbound shipment and that
largely consumed here in the way of
inbound consignments.
The impression formed by opera
tors, immediately on the lowering of
rates in the north being followed by
San Francisco lines, that the cheaper
rates would not be maintained, re
mains unchanged. It is contended
that going rates provide little enough
margin and that the altered tariff to
which neighboring ports have dropped
will not permit an extensive service
to be carried on.
The Columbia Pacific Shipping
company, which is operating ten car
riers from this port, will lay up part
of the coterie if the present volume
of business bids fair to suffer through
the new aspect of things.
The only sensible thing for an
owner to do is to lay up part of the
fleet should this condition come to a
test," said K. D. Dawson, general
manager . of the Columbia Pacific,
wmch would mean a condition where
there was more tonnage than cargo
and to lay up vessels would- be to
equalize matters. Should we take
that step it would not mean re
linquishment of our lines, but only
the reduction of the number of ships,
as we surely could not be expected to
continue the present heavy schedule,
which is virtually like an express
service, in tfte face of ruinous rates.
We would not be paid for the outlay.
However, we are hopeful such' serious
steps may not be taken, yet are pre
pared to pare the fleet in keeping
with our ability to maintain a serv
ice that the maximum amount of
cargo moving will justify."

PASTOR PRAYS FOR KLAN
White-Robed Group Visits Method
ist Church at Willamette.
OREGON CITY. Or!, March 20.
(Special.) During tr.e service in the
Methodist chttrci at Willamette Sun
day evening, Rev. John Shaffer, pastor,
and his congregation were surprised
when 12 white-robed figures, mem
bers of the Ku KIux Klan, entered"
the church. While 11 of the members
stationed themselves at one side of
the church, another, acting as spokes
man, went forward and at the altar
presented to the pastor an envelope
which contained a short missive from
the organization, and also a $10 bill
to 'be used in any manner for the
benefit of the church the pastor saw
fit. ,
After its presentation, the leader of
the "Ku Klux Klan asked the pastor-to
deliver a prayer. His request was
granted and the 12 members stood
with bowed heads as the Rev. Shaffer
led in prayer.
On Friday evening another benevo
lent act was performed by- the Ku
Klux Klan,1 when five members of
the organization clad in their white
robes visited the home of Mr. and Mrs
J. F. Drake in Oregon City, taking
with them an abundance of groceries
to supply their needs. The family has
been in distress for the past week,
when the father, mother and three
children were critically ill with influenza.

Weight of 58 Instead of 60 Pounds
Eaeli Bushel for White Wheat
Backed In Two States.
Grain men of two states joined in
a recommendation to Secretary Wal
lace of. the department of agricul
ture, forwarded by telegram last
night, that test weight of white wheat
be placed at 68 Instead of 60 pounds
a bushel. '
This recommendation followed a
hearing yesterday before the public
service commission of Oregon, Com
missioner Williams presiding. at
which various changes in grain stand
ards of a detail character were con
sidered and recommended. Present
were representatives of millers and
exporters, a delegation from the bu
reau of agriculture of Washington,
D. C., and a delegation from the Wil
lamette Valley Grain Growers' asso
ciation. Yesterday's hearing was the eon
cluding one in a series, the first of
which was held at Pendleton March
16. Others followed! at Walla Walla
March 17, and Spokane March 18. A
letter from Secretary Wallace regard
ing proposed changes in federal
grades of wheat formed the basis for
the hearings, and at Pendleton rec
ommendations of farmers growing
wheat in that section were consid
ered, the same being true at other
northwest points where meetings were
called. A preliminary meeting was
held at the merchants' exchange here
March 14, when proposed changes in
grain standards were discussed.
It was decided yesterday to notify
northwest members of congress of the
changes desired by grain growers and
others of this section and ask them
to support the proposals. Pendleton,
Walla Walla and Spokane growers
concurred in the recommendation as
to the change in the test weight of
white wheat. It is expected that the
department of agriculture will act
upon the recommendations without
further action here.
would be necessary to Chang th
name of the town, because) of the
many municipalities ln th United
States having a similar nam.
The matter will come for final dis
position Friday night.

Citizens of West Salem, upon assem

Nothing yon can do will to effect
ually protect you against the Influenza
or Grippe epidemic as keeping your
organs of digestion and elimination
active and your system free from
poisonous accumulations.
Doctors and health authorities
everywhere are warning people of
the danger of constipation, and
advising, and urging everyone
to see that the bowels and other
eliminative organs act freely
and regularly.
Ordinary laxatives, purges and
cathartics, salts, oils, calomel and the
like, are good enough to clean out the
system, but do not strengthen the
weakened organs; they do not build up
ritality.
Why don't you begin right today
to overcome constipation and get your
system in such shape that you can feel
A i
reasonably, sure of resisting disease.
You can do so if you will jut get a
25c. box of Nature's Remedy (NR
Tablets) and take one each night
for a while.
NR Tablets do much more than
merely cause pleasant, cany bowel
action, 'his medicine acts upon the
digestive as wen as enminauve
organs, promotes good digestion,
causes the body to get tbe nour
ishment from all tbe food you
eat. cives you a good, hearty
appetite, strengthens the liver, over
comes biliousness, reinilates kidney
and bowel action and gives the whole
body a thorough cleaning out. This
accomplished you will not have to take
medicine every day. An occasional
NR Tablet will keep your body in con
dition and you can always feel your bent.
