CROWDED HARBOR CAUS Data Tending to Show I'pper Route Is Most in Demand by Pedes trians and Teamsters Will Be Laid Before County Court. In the interest of future commerce, especially In so far as maritime move' ments will demand greater Bpace for vessels maneuvering, as well as those in berths and others anchored in th stream, the Commission of Public Docks will recommend the abandon ment of the Lower Albina Ferry, which operates from the foot of Seventeenth street, on the West Side, to the foot or Randolph street, on the East Side. Members of the Commission say that with the erection of the West Side public dock on property between the N'orth Bank dock and the foot of Sev enteenth street, the ferry landing could be utilized either for dock purposes or allow space for vessels lying at the dock to overlap beyond the northern end of the dock, next in line of argu ment is a point that the lower ferry op crates on such a swinging route that it hinders the free movement of vessels through the harbor and prevents more from anchoring in that zone with safety. To illustrate that the upper ferry, op erating from the foot of Park street, on the West Side, to the foot of Al hina avenue, on the East Side, is the most in demand, the Commission stationed men on each vessel for a week to maintain a daily count of all classes of traffic - The lower ferry averages six trips an hour or 78 trips in a day, and the upper ferry nearly eight trips an hour or 102 a day. The average number of pedestrians carried on the lower ferry daily was 939 and on the upper ferry lb(7. There wert 10 transfer and delivery rigs on the lower ferry and 166 on the upper. An average of 13 sand and gravel teams patronized the lower ferry and three the upper ferry, with 41 fuel wagons on the lower and 53 on the upper. Heavy trucks on the lower ferry num bered five and on the upper ferry 81 while 71 scavenger wagons used the lower route and seven the upper. The hourly .minimum of pedestrian travel on the lower ferry was ten per. sons and the maximum 323. the daily minimum being 791 and the maximum 1047. On the upper ferry the hourly minimum reached 50 persons and the maximum 327, while minimum was 1333 and the maximum 2079. The lower ferry operates from 6 A. M. to 7 P. M. and the upper ferry from 6:45. A. M. to 7:30 P. M. The opening of the Broadway bridge will eliminate much of the patronage from the upper ferry and possibly some from the lower route. A formal report may be submitted at Tuesday's meeting of the Commission with recommenda tions, and then the matter will be taken up with the County Court. ALASKA HAS ITS BEST SEASON Steamship Line From Hero to Reach Most Prosperous Section. Portlanders who are concerned In the establishment of a steamship line to Southeastern Alaska this season have food for thought In the annual report of the customs business of Alas ka. a copy of which has been received by Collector of Customs Malcolm, as it sets forth that in 1912 shipments to southeastern Alaska Increased enor mously, and was more than double those of either of three other divisions comprising the Alaska district. The gain is attributed principally to the establishment of 20 new can nerles and extensive development of mining properties. Shipments from the United States as well as those sent from Alaska to this country are valued at over $20,000,000, and it Is said to be the first time the valuation has reached that point. The total trade of the territory is valued at $72,741,- 060, which is 27 per cent higher than for any previous year. The movement on foot here is for a line to the south eastern section of Alaska, and with five cannery concerns ready to lend support, it is felt that the first season should be profitable. B ROADWAY DRAW TO OPERATE Bascule Type or "Jackknife" Opening to Be Tried Out. During the present week the big bascule draw of the Broadway bridge wuf be closed for the nrst time, and the operation will be continued if necessary in making adjustments. The concrete weights are in place, save for about Sj yards of material that will be placed during the adjusting. The two sections of the draw span were built almost in a perpendlculzf position so that at no time was navi gation interfered with, only the need of stretching a cable between the cen ter piers for two hours Friday morn ing made It incumbent on navigators to pass beneath the east and west spans. The contract between the city and the Pennsylvania Steel Company was executed a year ago yesterday, but a change in rails and other details that are classed as extras caused an exten sion of the time. Sidewalk laying has progressed satisfactorily, and most of it has been completed. Stairways have been provided on the west approach at Front street and at the Union De pot, so travelers can leave the bridge and not be compelled to continue on to Seventh street. SANTA ROSALIA GETS TO SEA Twickenham Due This Week, and Harpagns Loads Full Cargo. Completing her cargo at Montgomery Dock No. 1 last evening the big Maple Leaf liner Santa Rosalia got away for sea last night, bound for Belfast, via San Francisco and other ports, with 160,400 bushels of wheat on which a valuation of $136,340 was placed. A. T. Prlchard. representing Frank Waterhouse & Company, agents for the Maple Leaf line as well as the Koyal Mall Steam Packet Company, says that the present Intention is to load the British steamer Harpagus here for the Orient direct. She has a deadweight capacity of lO.OuO tons and he expects that the entire space will be taken. Engagements are be ing made for her, and she will have general cargo besides Hour and wheat. The next Oriental carrier due to start loading is the British steamer Twick enham, which will be here this week. Steamer Fined, Gives Bond. ASTORIA. Or, Feb. S. (Special.)

With her bridge and pilothouse on the forecastle, and her cabin and machinery departments aft, leaving a long well-deck between the two, the steamer Portland, here on her initial journey, was an at traction at the Couch-street: dock yesterday, where she discharged general cargo. The vessel is in com mand of Captain James Daniels, remembered here as the former master of the steamer Santa Ana. The Portland was built in 1900 at Cleveland, O.. and came to the Coast nearly a year ago to operate under the Bates & Chesebrough flag, being purchased by the Globe Grain & Milling Company last month.

That Coos County's developments re progressing even beyond expectations is evidenced by the rapid work accomplished on the new 81.000,000 pulp mill of the C. A. Smith Lumber & Manufacturing Company here. It Is erected entirely of concrete. The stack Is the largest in the West, excepting that of the Great Falls, Mont., smelter. At the mill and electric plant of the C A. Smith company are seen wires which are to supply current for the electrification of operations in the firm's logging camps. The mill at the present time is being equipped with Indi vidual electric motors to every machine . waiting for a tow a few miles above Rainier. As nothing is known of a schooner of that name and the message has the earmarks of a .practical joke, the authorities do not expect to be able t- render aid. Movements of Vessels. " PORTLAND. Feb. 8.

OREGON STUDENTS MANY 72 Per Cent of Xunrber Taking Test Win Licenses and High Man Is Graduate of Willamette Prac titioner of 1 8 l'ears Second. Gratifying features marked the last examination held by the Oregon State Board of Medical Examiners to decide the new doctors to whom licenses to practice in Oregon should be given. The highest percentage of men ex amined at one time passed the Board, 72 per cent being successful; a very high mark was attained by the high man, and notable testimony was ac corded to the work and high standard set at the Medical School of the Lni versity of Oregon by the fact that every one of the eight members of the senior class who took the examination was successful. Charles E. Bates, the young doctor who heads the list with a percentage of 88.97, is the first local man to have that distinction, such honor in pre vious years usually falling to an East era man. Dr. Bates is a student of Willamette University, and his paper was considered an excellent one. - Dr. Morris C. Robins, the second high man, has been practicing for 18 years, and it is considered most un usual for any doctor who has been practicing so long to stand so high in an examination, as much of the knowl edge, though necessary at the examin ation, is not needed in actual practice. The third man, Dr. Frank P. Witter, is the secretary of the corresponding board of Washington State, and took the examination without any intention of practicing here. All the internes at the Good Samari tan Hospital who took the examination were successful, and all but one at St. Vincent's Hospital. Ninety-six took the examination, January 7, 8 and 9. The names of the 69 successful candidates follow: D. Everette Standard, Hugh Sam Mo- Kenzie, George E. Darrow, H. F. Mc- Shannon, Ralph L. Sharkey, Vern L. Hamilton. Leonard H. Vincent, Thomas H.

BODY READY TO 'UN-MERGE' If Federal Prosecutors Do Xot Insist on Too Severe Penalty Produce Sellers May Decide to Admit Charge and Pay Fines. If the Federal prosecutors do not in sist on too severe a penalty it is pos sible that the 15 commission men in dicted last week by the United States grand jury for unlawful combination in violation of the Sherman anti-trust law will come into court within a few days and plead guilty, pay whatever fine the court sees fit to impose and agree to "unmergeV' W. C. Bristol, attorney for the de fendants, will hold a conference with John McCourt, United States District Attorney, and A. E. Johnson, assistant to Mr. McCourt, tomorrow. Mr. Bris tol will ask that he be permitted to examine the books, papers, letters and other documents that constituted the records of the Produce Merchants' As sociatlon and whlcV now are in pos session of the Federal authorities. Mr. Bristol said yesterday that he is sure none of the Indicted men is guilty of any criminal knowledge that their organization was operating In violation of the law. Ignorance of Lbtt Blamed. "My clients all are good citizens of this community," he said, "and they are just as eager as anyone else to obey the - law. If the records show that they have acted contrary to the law they are ready and willing to re adjust thier affairs upon a legal basis. "They do not pretend to set them selves up as greater than the Gov ernment or In defiance of the Govern ment. If they have violated the law they did so in ignorance. I am sure of that. It is possible that they have been ill advised." Mr. Bristol declared that with the knowledge of the case that he has been able to gather in the last few days he is certain that the men have not vio lated the law. However, he does not know what information the Federal authorities have. It is for the purpose of learning, if possible, the nature of the Government's evidence that he is seeking consultation with Mr. Mc Court. Any Guilt la Held Technical. If he learns then that the Govern ment has "the goods" on his clients be probably will advise them to go into court and plead guilty, thereby saving both the defendants and the prosecu tion further needless expense. "Even if I find that the methods em ployed in conducting the organization were contrary to the Federal statutes," said Mr. Bristol, "we will not admit that we had any intent of violating the law. Our guilt, if there is any guilt, is purely technical. We had no guilty knowledge." It is probable tnat tne aeienaants will be arraigned in the Federal Court some time this week. POWER FIRMJS ORGANIZED North Pacific Gas Electric Enters Industrial Field. To nave the way for invading the in dustrial field of Oregon, W. W. Sey mour and F. C. Brewer, who operate a chain of public utility plants in West ern Washington, together with Harvey E. Lounsbury, F. L. Shulb ana (J. J. Franklin, of Portland, have organized the North Pacific Gas & Electric Com pany, capitalized at 81,000,000. The purpose of the organization is to furnish water, gas, light, heat and power to individuals, firms, corpora tions and municipalities in Oregon. Mr. Sevmour and Mr. Brewer already operate gas plants at Hoquiam and Aberdeen and light plants at Chehalis, Centralia, Bremerton and Charleston. They propose now to extend their ac tivity into Oregon, and for that rea son have formed the local company with local stockholders. ' Harvey E. Lounsbury is general freight agent for the O.-W.

A dealer tried to sell me a substitute, but the doctor told me to insist on the genuine." Mrs. A. Campbell, 1111 West Ninth St, Spokane. Duffy's Relieved Over two hundred well-known Port land people have joined forces to benefit in the wonderful development sure to take place in and around the city within the next few years. They have looked to California for their plan of operation and have taken as a model the wonderfully successful companies operating in Southern Cali fornia, which has been the marvel of the West. With the openiug of the Panama Canal the tremendous influx from all parts of the world into Oregon and Southwestern Washington will be re flected in Portland with a tremendous era of building1. Already the signs of what is to come later are shown. Never before in the history of a city the size of Portland were there so many large buildings under way at one time. As the city grows in ac cordance, as its tributary area .level ops, its residence districts spread out and expand and what today are farms, woodlands and fields arc the settled neighborhoods of tomorrow. Sixteen years ago Charles W. Elder gathered around him a few men, far seeing and enterprising', and organ ized the Los Angeles Investment Com-, pany, the largest financial institution as far as capital and surplus goes in the West. The story of their achievement is tmly remarkable. Those who put in $100 with them 16 years ago could now draw out $21,000. The company has over $6,600,000 outstanding on houses and lots sold on installments. They have $4,000,000 in real estate and over $1,000,000 in cash. They have just built an office building that has cost them over a million dollars, and all of these profits have been made through the development of acreage into city property and the building of modern homes upon them. So it will be in Portland. These two hundred men and women who are partners in The Oregon Home Build ers should receive as great returns for their foresight as was received in Cal- I SEND THIS COUPON IN TODAY The Oregon Home Builders, Yeon Bldg., Portland: I Please send, without obligation on my part, the "Key to Success."

They declare that they do not represent their respective companies in their assocta? tion with the new enterprise. "Each of us has a small interest in the company," said Mr. Lounsbury last night, "but we are Interested merely as friends of Mr. Seymour and Mr. Brewer. We do not expect to become active in directing the affairs of the company. Mr. Seymour and Mr. Brewer will be the men actively at the head of the enterprise in Oregon." CITIZEN'S PAPERS REVOKED Perjury Causes Seattle Man to Lose Rights After 17 Years. SEATTLE. Feb. 8. (Special.)

Acreage is purchased along thn lines of the city's growth, subdivided into lots and streets cut through, im provements installed, and upon each alternate lot a modern, up-to-date ar tistic bungalow is built. These in turn are sold on very easy terms, and as fast as sold, more bungalows are built, and so the process at development continues indefinitely, just so long us the city continues to grow. The most remarkable feature of this form of profit-earning is the con.vn tration of the entire transformation from farm lauds into homes in tlw hands of one company. It is a matter of common reputo that the original syndicate in the Rose City Park development made profits of 1000 per cent. These profits wore made in the difference between the acreage value and the value of the subdivided lots. Under the plan of The Oregon Home Builders not only are the land profits made by the company, but iu addition all of the profits ordinarily made by the contractor, the middle man, the real estate operator; all oE these and other profits besides are made by the company. The Oregon Home Builders, whose offices are in the Yeon building, rooms 1404-5-6-7, have issued a very beautiful illustrated booklet describ ing their plan of making money through the growth of Portland. They rdso publish a monthly paper called 'The Key to Success," which is sent free on request. All persons interest ed in knowing bow fortunes are made will proft by sending a postcard to the company asking for the above publication, which will be sent with out obligation or cost, postpaid. A splendid feature of the plan is the fact that $3 a month is sufficient to make a substantial investment iu the company. The Oregon Home Builders is a co-operative stock com pany, rich and poor, bankers and clerks, merchants and farmers, all are represented among those who already have joined the compsnj".
