Is About to Have Her Real Inning in the Development Game
Within her 93,000 square miles of rich country, there are about 675,000 people today, one-third of whom are
in the city of Portland. If Oregon were settled like some of our New England states we should have about
14 000,000 peoplq, or about TWENTY TIMES our present population. This would mean about 20 times the
business of todav. Then add a large portion of the NATURAL DOWN GRADE tonnage of TWO OTHER
STATES and vou will see how absurd it is to expect an INLAND HARBOR a few hundred feet wide to
handle the future shipping of the Pacific Northwest. Even NOW much of our tonnage goes to the Sound
because the larger ships go there, and CAN NOT come here.

This Picture Suggests the Real Solution of Oregon's Harbor Problem
By- using the mouth of the Columbia, Oregon will be able to handle the shipping of this Empire with ease
and dispatch, even though this great Northwest should reach ONE HUNDRED MILLION population some
dav. This is the ONE W ATE R-LE YEL OUTLET for 250,000 SQUARE MILES a splendid country, and
it's GREATER OREGON'S GREATEST OPPORTUNITY TODAY. This level land is just what the rail
roads want for a TERMINAL CITY and we shall soon see a NEW CITY in the making. Better take our
TIP and get bus v. We're on the "inside" of this WARRENT0N proposition.

have never yet witnessed any congestion of
f relarht or excessive rates that would or could
have been in the slightest degree alleviated
by American ships. The Panama Canal,
however, has opened a new trade route on
which it Is highly necessary that we have
American fhips. and It Is also necessary
that we secure them on even terms with
our trade competitors who will use the new
routes und fgploit the new trade fields
opened by the canal.
"It Is imperative that we take Immediate
steps to enlarge . the American merchant
marine, and In order to accomplish the best
rt-sults what better method can appeal to
us than that adopted and successfully fol
lowed by the nations that are our chief
competitors?

ing b-ad over all other shipbuilding and
shipownlug countries and to that great mar
among the salors. water tenders, coa pas
sers and other subordinates on the vessel.
whr.se wages In the aggregate make up the
greater part of the pay roll, the wages one
year with another do not vary much from
those on foreign lines. These men are
shipped on both American and foreign ships,
at the going wages of the port where the
shop happens to be. The British ship In
an American port pays the going wages of

British port pays the going wages of the
foreign port.
Subsidy Seen in New Form.
The demand for free tolls for American
shipping using the canal is simply our old
enemy, the ship subsidy. In a new form.
It Is based solely on the fact that It costs
more to build and operate an American ship
than It coats to build and operate a foreign
vessel, and the millions of producers and
consumers who pay freight, shipped through
sMpown.ng countries anu ,o tu-i -.et - fQ thfm.elvr, to

being under the fearful handicap which
protection to our Infant industries now
places on American-built ships.
Let" us remember that this canal is rot
betnir built for a select few shipowners, but
for millions of producers and consumers.
Keep it open to all who will carry freight
through it at reasonable rates. Wipe out
your ancient navigation laws and enact new
ones to fit the emergency. Then if the
shipowners don't make satisfactory rates,
get together and buy your own ships in the
market where they are sold at the lowest
price.

Plans Perfected at Informal Meeting
at Commercial Club.
Loggers from various districts of the
Pacific Northwest, meeting; Informally
at the Portland Commercial Club yes
terday, laid plans for a permanent or
ganization to include the associations
in the Columbia River district, the Pu
get Sound district and the Grays Har
bor district. Uniform methods of scal
ing and grading logs, co-operation in
various other phases of business ac
tivity and closer social relations is the
purpose of the organization.
Committees for each district will meet
in Seattle Saturday. April 13, to prepare
definite plans for the new association.
The committee from this district con
sists of H. C. Clair. B. S. Collins, C. E.
Johnson and J. S. O'Gorman. From Pu
get Sound will be James E. Gowan,
E. G. English and J. W. Reed, and from
Grays Harbor district, A. J. Morley, of
Aberdeen, J. D. Crary and S. W. John
son. The meeting, with an informal ban
quet, was held in the evening. H. C.
Clair presided and A. J. Morley acted
as secretary. The important business
announcement was made during the
meeting that the stock of fir logs in all
districts is low and a higher level of
prices may soon become effective.
DE LARM CAUSES NO WORRY
Federal Official Confident He Can
Be Found When Wanted.
"The department has no fear but
that W. E. De Larm will be arrested in
plenty of time for his trial with the
others under indictment for the Colum
bia. Orchard Company swindle." said
Postoffice Inspector Clement yesterday
after his return from Seattle, where he
attended the preliminary hearing of K.
H. Mac Whorter, under indictment in
the same connection. Mac Whorter was
bound over under $4000 bonds for trial
before the United States District Court
at Portland.
"While I cannot say that we know
exactly where De Larm is, we believe
that he will be apprehended when
wanted. The published stories that h
was within a hundred miles or so of
Portland are not true. As the result
of the evidence in the Mae Whorter
case in Seattle, I am confident that all
the men indicted In connection with
this case will plead guilty when their
cases are called for trial."
Illinois Folk to Meet. .
Permanent officers will be elected at
the monthly meeting of the Illinois So
ciety at the Multnomah Hotel Tuesday,
April 2. This meeting will be the third
since the organisation, the constitution
and bylaws having been adopted at the
meeting last month. Immediately after
the election and installation of the new
officers there will be a programme of
musical numbers and addresses by
prominent members.

In making a free shipping law whloh
would enable us to get Into the ocean
carrying trade on even terms with our com
petitors, I do not think It advisable at this
time to make the provisions too sweeping.
We raunot use to advantage on the route
throiiKh the Panama Canal, or In the deep
water trade, any craft much smaller than
4..1.0 tons gross register, and by drafting a
free shin law making this th minimum slxa
that would be granted American registry,
the bona ride coastwise service where much
smaller vessel are used, would still be pro
tected. Repair Work Done Here,

that such a handicap exists probably arose
fmm a constant reiteration of that imoot a

on the contrary, the flans of all nations en

In proof of this assertion 1 have but to
refer you to th actual, not theoretical, ax
prlence of two of our cltlsena who are lead
ers In their re;oi-ctlv lines In the Oriental
trade. When Mr. Wilco decided to entet
the Oriental flour business, there was no
American f:c for his trade to follow. But
he sent forth his sot lei tors throufthout the
length and breadth of the Orient, and creat
ed a dmand for Oregon flour. And right
