Economies Must Come From Devel-
opraent of Natural Channel of
Commerce, Declares Letter to
Government Engineer.
The Chamber of Commerce has made
an exhaustive argument to Major J. F.
Mclndoe why the Pacific Northwest
should receive a full, unobstructed
channel at the mouth of the Columbia
by the arrival of heavy Panama Canal
traffic.
At the time of recommending- to the
Port of Portland appropriation of $600,
000 for maintaining- and accelerating
work by the Federal Government at
the mouth of the river, the Chamber
emphasized the profound need of
speedy action. This arg-ument has been
amDlified. and delivered to the Major,
appealing to him to do what he can in
having the Corps of Engineers approve
larger immediate work. All the losses
sustained through shipping Columbia
basin products across high mountains
are suggested. All the economies that
must come from development of the
natural channel for commerce, also are
rjresented.
The fact that the Federal Govern
ment now owns timber in the North
west worth from $450,000,000 to J750.
000.000, and an immense proportion of
this Is so situated that It will be en
hanced in value and benefited by open
ing the Columbia for the great ships
of commerce, is given prominent place
in the argument. In addition to this.
the Chamber points to the probable
farm yield of the Columbia baBln in
the near future, the route for moving
the great lumber exports, the enormous
acreage of vacant land that could ac
commodate the American horde going
to Canada, and the potential water
power which must soon commence to
Influence Western Industry.
Letter In bent to Mclndoe,
Following Is the letter sent to Ma
jor Mclndoe:
The Chamber of Commerce presents a few
arguments that appeal to us as of vital
merit In determining tho expenditure of
public funds on the Columbia River bar
and that stream and its tributaries. Based
on the facts here urged, request will be
made for larger Immediate outlays and

MISS RAE POTTER
Miss Eae Potter was adjudged bv
Lillian KusseU in the Chicago Tribune
tSeauty Contest to be Chicago's most
beautiful working girl. One of her
strongest claims to beauty is her mar-
velously clear, complexion and the
skin itself has a texture much like
satin. She- claims that all of the
beauty of her skin is the result of her
constant and consistent use of Melo-
rose Preparations particularly Melo-
rose Beauty Cream and Melorose Pow
der and Rouge, which she uses freely.

Timber Mrectlr Affected.
Tn Oregon there is a stand of 406,000.
000.000 feet of timber, perhaps more. In
Washington, Idaho and that part of Mon
tana draining to the Pacific, the total stand
exceeds 1,000.000,000.000 feet of timber. All
or this but a limited amount In Southwell
em Oregon and a larger total In Northwest
ern Washington. Is affected directly by mar-
Irrigation. Professor Shaw. the eminent
Minnesota dry-farm expert now In the serv
ice of the Hill lines, has said that Eastern
Oregon alone, when cultivated on present
known dry-farm methods, can be made to
yield 100,000.000 bushels or wheat witnoui

crops.

which must be accepted and developed.
On the Columbia and tributaries there sre

freight-carrying craft. Of this total, 1294
miles are navigable for limited reaches, be

Government figures credit In wheat pro

Oregon 21.000.000 bushels, Washington 83.

Vtah 6.0O0.0O0 bushels. This Is 86.000,000
bushels for the three Northwestern States.
Owing to the desire of the railway com
panies to get loadings for empties from the
Kocky Mountains westwsrd. rates are be
ing put In which will bring much
of the Montana wheat crop to this sea
board. Assurance Is given by railway
magnates that Montana, all of Idaho -and
perhaps part of Utah will take the west

era rate field. Products grown distantly
rrom it will ret the benefit of the water-
compelled rate as soon as they reach the
navigation xone of the river. Every bushel
of wheat, more than 100.000,000 last year,
wlll be affected. There Is a -wheat rate of
.147 cents between Chicago and New York,
over an area having a water-compelled reg
ulation. The best present rate In the Co
lumbia on wheat Is .75 cents a ton mile, as
against th. .147 a ton mile where there Is
water competition, the Columbia rate being
five times higher. Apply this saving to the
more than 10o.000.000 bushels of wheat
that might profit by coming down the Co
lumbia to the sea, and the return to the
farmer and consumer is of Immense Im
portant. These figures are from Gov
ernment reports of last year's yield. All
concede that wheat production In the Co
lumbla Basin will leap with cheaper trans
portation, cheaper lands and application of
dry-farming methods, ss well as extended

whether they can compete at all with Aus

The Herreshoff car was designed to appeal to motorists who want none but the best cars. It
was intended as a car that could be driven with satisfaction by the man who had owned only high
priced cars.
To realize this standard, it was necessary that every part of the car should be as excellent and ele
gant as the parts of those big, high-priced cars.
In design, in material, in workmanship, in finish, in grace and riding qualities in each essential
the Herreshoff car must measure up to this high standard. Every Herreshoff car will be found
to do so. .
The Herreshoff car is not intended to appeal to the man who is seeking a low-priced product. It
has a reputation to maintain.
Its design embodies those features which have been successful in the best foreign and Ameri
can cars.
The Herreshoff car will do the work ordinarily required of the highrpriced car with equal satis
faction, while entailing a much smaller initial outlay, smallev upkeep and smaller operating expense.
And if is a silent, roomy,- easy-riding and comfortable car as well.
Every part of the Herreshoff car is manufactured after Herreshoff 's own designs by expert spe
cialists under his personal supervision. The car will be found to be exclusive in every detail.
