Steel Ranger Is Dispatched
With 2,299,637 Feet.
MORE PARCELS TO GO
Chattanooga City to Return Here
and Take on Big Shipment
Next Wednesday.
Bound for New York, the steamer
Steel Ranger, ttf the Isthmian fleet,
was dispatched from the harbor last
night with the principal part of her
cargo made up of 2,299,637 feet of
lumber, shipped by the Charles R.
M cCormick Lumber company, and
loaded at Portland, Linnton, St. Hel
ens and Westport. The same inter
ests will set afloat six additional par
cels for the east coast, according to
the programme to date.
The steamer Chattanooga City,
which was here last week to unload
general freight brought from the
east, is to return from Puget sound
Wednesday and take aboard 2,500,000
feet for New York delivery. The
Steel Voyager is to have 1,000,000 feet
for Philadelphia and 500,000 feet for
New York, the West Isleta Is loading
1,000,000 feet on Grays Harbor and
the West Catanace, which in this har
bor, takes 2.500,000 feet for New York.
The Brush, at St. Helens, finishes
Tuesday for New York with 1,200,000
feet. The Mundelta. due early in
June, will work 3,800,000 feet for
astern delivery.
Mundelta Is Delayed.
The Mundelta was to have been
here the latter part of May but
message received yesterday was to
the effect she had been in collision on
the Atlantic with the tanker Mo-bile,
one of the shipping board carriers
and had been damaged to an extent
that would delay her arrival two
weeks.
The Atlantic coastmarket hasdrawn
many millions of feet from the north
west during the last year. While
market conditions were reported not
o active at present as was the case
the latter part of 1921, It was rea
soned there will be no decrease in
the demand as a whole, and that the
year will easily show a big margin
over the preceding period. Doors, of
which there are 3267 aboard the Steel
Ranger, are in the list of regular
shipments these days and shingles
are starting to move In greater
volume.
Northern Shipments Heavy.
Puget sound and Grays Harbor are
making heavy shipments via the
canal, and the lumber movement is
extending as well along the Atlantic
coast to take in a big distributing
territory where northwest material
was said to find a ready reception.
The ability of lumber manufacturers
to take advantage of the fast and
regular service and low rates main
tained by the intercoastal lines is
counted on to increase their lead in
competition over the southern pine

LUMBER CARRIERS AT WORK
Iast of Idle Fleet Is Reported Back
in Service.
With the arrival in the river of
me of the steam schooners that have
been infrequent visitors of late, it
was made known by owners that the
last of a fleet of about 30 carriers
that was tied up in San Francisco
bay has been ordered into commis
sion, and there is about the normal
amount of lumber moving again to
San Francisco and San Pedro.
From the northwest there was a
monthly average of approximately
60,000,000 feet of lumber shipped to
California markets last year. Puget
sound and Grays Harbor are sources
from which much of the lumber is
drawn though the entire Columbia
river district is a regular and heavy
hipping district. The lack of de-
jrirfiiu m aicn prompted tne tying up
of steam schooners was attributed to
Stormy conditions of the winter in
Southern California, preventing con
struction, while a contributing factor
was held to be "flu." which incapaci
tated many workers. Late reuorts
are that the construction programme
Is on in full swing.
RAM I ORDERED DISMANTLED
Installation ( hange Made in In
terest of River Vessels.
Experience having proved one of
three ramps or movable slips installed
on the first unit of terminal No. 1,
can be spared without interfering
with facilities for handling freight
between the dock and river steamers,
the commission of public docks has
ordered the ramp dismantled and
moved to terminal No. 4, where it will
be installed just inside the slip.
The -change is made in the interest
of river vessels that at times are
unable to reach a berth because of
deep water vessels lying alongside,
though the latter can usually be
place.! so as to leave space near the
end of the pier sufficient for a river
learner to 'nose in" so that freight
can be landed on the ramp. The ar
rangement is expected to prove bene
ficial particularly to the steamers en
paged in transporting paper between
Oregon City and the terminal.

RATE CANCELLATION FOUGHT
Elimination of Tacoraa West-Bound
Terminal Basis Protested.
TACOMA, Wash., May 3. (Special.)
Tacoma shippers and shipping men
were thoroughly aroused today by
confirmation of rumors heard last
week that the Atlantic Intercoastal
conference, regulating water rates
among most of the steamship lines
serving the Pacific-At lan tic coast
trade, has canceled Tacoma westbound
terminal rates.
Protests against the act, termed as
discrimination against Tacoma, were
sent by the traffic and transportaa
tion bureau of the Tacoma Commer
cial club and by the Port of Tacoma.
Plans for fighting the conference de
cision were being laid with energy.
The cancellation order became ef
fective against not only Tacoma, but
Astoria and Vancouver, B. C. The
effect of the order is to make Seattle
the Puget sound terminal and to add
charges for delivery of freight from
the Atlantic coast to Tacoma or Van
couver, B. C. Heretofore Tacoma and
Vancouver have enjoyed the same
rates as Seattle, and Astoria the same
as those to Portland.
An average additional charge for
freight from Atlantic coast ports,
delivered in Tacoma, will be about
$2.60 a ton, it was the calculation of
Tacoma shippers.
Philippine Mission on Way.
SEATTLE, Wash., May 3. (Spe
cial.) Bearing the members of the

Rain and Cold Conspire to Make
Germination Slow; Planting
in Other Sections Is On.
WASHINGTON, D. C, May 3. It's
just one thing after another for the
farmers in the middle west, it was
indicated by reports summarized to
cay by the weather bureau in its
weekly weather and crop review.
These reports for several weeks
have said farm preparations were
being delayed by rain and now, al
though the rain has stopped, the
review said it "was mostly too cool
in central and southern states for the
best germination and development of
spring crops."
Winter grains and grass in the
central states, however, made satis
factory progress, the review stated,
adding that beneficial rains fell in
northern Florida and portions of the
southwest where droughty condi
tions have prevailed.
Sowing of oats in the northern
states during the period covered by
the review the week ending yester
day made satisfactory progress,
but it was stated that a considerable
decrease in acreage was indicated.
Planting of corn was reported as
well along in central and southern
Kansas, but the work was much de
layed in central valley states.
The review said additional damage
te fruit was reported from some
upper Ohio valley and Appalachian
districts and a resurvey showed the
damage from the recent cold snap
to have been rather heavy in central
Ohio and West Virginia and to grapes
and early cherries in New York.

Case of American Legion Present
ed in Salem Court.
SALEM, Or., May 3. (Special.) Ar
guments on a demurrer to the com
plaint in the friendly action instituted
by the American Leglon of Salem
against the world war veterans' state
aid commission, to obtain legal in
terpretation of the bonus act with re
lation to whether loans to ex-service
men shall be based on the full 75 per
cent of the appraised value of the
property offered for security, were
heard by Judges Bingham and Kelly
here today.
Roy Shields, attorney for the legion,
admitted that the commission had a
right to make rulings governing ap
praisements, but held that when an
appraisement was made in accordance
with these rulings it was binding.
J. A. Benjamin, assistant attorney
general, presented the case for the
bonus commission. He contended that
under the act the commission could
not approve loans to ex-service men
in excess of 75 per cent of the ap
praisement of the security offered,
but could reduce loans when it con
sidered the security insufficient.

the ceremonies and Governor Olcott

their families, will meet the party at
the gates of Salem and lead the pro
cession through the blossoming or
chards. m
All foreign: consuls stationed in

NEW BRIDGE IS URGED
Speakers Want Structure South of
Hawthorne Avenue.
Judge Evans and Judge Tazwell,
candidates for re-election to the cir
cuit bench, George L. Koehn, candi
date for the state legislature, and
many others spoke in favor of thd
construction of a bridge across the
Willamette river "somewhere south
of Hawthorne avenue" last night at a
mass meeting in the Neighborhood
house in South Portland.
A committee of five was appointed
to confer with like committees from
other community bodies on ways and
means of obtaining the bridge. Rep
resentatives from Sellwood, South
Portland, Woodstock, East more.1 and
and Mount Scott were present at the
meeting, and urged the construction

Statistics Say Four to
One Against You
Unless you take proper precautions, the odds are
four to one that you will contract Pyorrhea before
or after you pass the age of forty.
Something to think about, isn't it?
There are two things you can do: play the long
shot and pay the probable penalty, or set about in
a sensible manner to insure your teeth.
Pyorrhea has cost many an individual his teeth and health.
It starts with tender, bleeding gums. That is the danger
signal you should be quick to heed.
Ignore it and Pyorrhea does its deadly work in a hurry.
The gums recede, the teeth loosen and drop out or must be
pulled. Pus pockets form at the roots of the teeth and
disease germs swarm throughout the system.
You must not let Pyorrhea gain headway in your mouth.
At the first warning, see your dentist and start using Forhan's
For the Gums at once.
Forhan's For the Gums is the formula of R. J. Forhan,
D. D. S. If used consistently and used in time it will pre
vent Pyorrhea or check its course.
Don't wait a day longer. Stop at your
druggist's at once, buy a tube of Forhan's
and start using it today.
Brush your teeth with Forhan's regularly.
It is an excellent dentifrice and will keep
your teeth and mouth in perfect health.
Four out of five wait too long. Don't be
one of them. 35c and 60c at all druggists.
