FOUR BIB PROJECTS
TO BE CELEBRATED
Wednesday Will Be Day of Re
joicing at Towns Along
Mouth of Columbia.
COST MAY BE $4,000,000
Highway Link, Hill 'Docks, Astoria
Municipal Wharf and Sea Wall
Will Be Started With Port
land Men Participating-.
ASTORIA, Or., May- 30. (Special.)
The Astoria - Warrenton-Flavel - Ham
mond district will be the scene of a
series of celebrations Wednesday which
will mark an epoch in transportation,
commercial and civic Improvement de
velopment on the Lower Columbia in
deed, of the Columbia basin; for the
constructive enterprises which are to
be inaugurated on that date at or near
the mouth of the "River of the West"
will necessarily affect the country trib
utary to the Port of the" Columbia.
The primary idea in the minds of the
. committee of arrangements, named over
a month ago under the joint auspices
' of the Warrenton Development League,
the Port of the Columbia Commercial
Club and representatives of the Astoria
' Chamber of Commerce, was the cele
bration of the beginning of actual con
struction of the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific ocean and rail ter
minals at Flavel, but circumstances
have focused in such way that other
great projects will also begin construc
tion at the same time. The committee
has, therefore, grouped the enterprises
for the day and will devote a portion
of the time to the formal inauguration
of each.
Columbia Highway En Route.
Plans are formed for the recognition
of the Clatsop County unit of the Co
lumbia Highway system from Portland
to the Pacific Ocean, and the visitors
from Portland and other points in the
Columbia and Willamette valleys will
take part in these ceremonies en route
to Astoria Wednesday morning. Con
tractors Petersen & Johnson, in charge
of construction, will have a gang of
men stationed at Westport on the ar
rival of the Portland train on the Spo
kane, Portland & Seattle, so that every
thing will be in readiness for the for
mal exercises. The work of throwing
the first dirt will be in the hands of
Julius L. Meier, president of the Colum
bia Highway Association, who will be
assisted by Governor Oswald West,
John B. Teon, Samuel Hill and others.
The Astoria - Warrenton reception
committee, headed by Chairman Sher
man, president of the Astoria Cham
ber of Commerce: Dr. Alfred Kinney,
president of the Port of the Columbia
Commercial Club, and other live wires,
will meet the Portland train at West
port, and. after participating in the
highway ceremonies, will act as an es
cort to the visitors to Flavel, where
the Spokane, Portland & Seattle docks
celebration will take place.
Cost to Be Nw $4,000,000.
Following the exercises at Flavel, de
tails of which will befound in the
formal programme, the visitors, accom
panied by the people of the Lower Co
lumbia .communities, will return to As
toria, where the beginning of work will
.- be properly launched on tho first unit
of the Astoria seawall and reclamation
project. Following this, about & P. M.,
the people will assemble at Smith's
point, where the first pile will be
driven on thj Port of Astoria munici
pal docks, " ho importance of these
four enterprises may be estimated by
a resume of the contract cost d each:
Spokane, Portland & Seattle
docks at Flavel $190,000
Port of Astoria municipal
docks 340,000
Astoria seawall 237,000
Astorla-Westport unit Colum
bia Highway 212,000
The total of these first units is ap
proximately $1,000,000. The ultimate
cost of the completed projects in the
Astoria-Warrenton-Flavel region is in
excess of $3,600,000.
To conclude the day the Portland and
Interior visitors will be the guests of
the citizens of the Lower Columbia at
a smoker, luncheon and talkfest at the
Weinhard-Astorla Hotel at 8 P. M.,

Candidates and Officials Fig-ht Shy

Commissioner Makes Attack
on Good Roads Bill.
OLYMPIA, Wash., May . 30. (Spe
cial.) Whether the- "seven sisters" in
itiative measures and the universal
eight-hour measure will find places
on the ballot at the general election
next November will be determined as
the result of a campaign during the
next month by employers and business
men of the state on one side and the
organizations of the State Grange, the
farmers unions and the labor unions
on the other.
The fight centering about these eight
measures overshadows the interest in
the prohibition bill, and this condition
promises to exist until July 3, the last
aay tor riling petitions. The prohibi
tion advocates have more than 100,000
signatures of registered voters sup
porting their measure, so it is sure to
go on the ballot and the real opening
of the wet and dry fight is being post
poned. On the ether hand, the Stop-Look-Listen
League, the organization of em
ployers and business men formed to
combat the seven sisters and the eight
hour measure, is centering its efforts
on preventing, these 'eight measures
from finding places on the ballot. Each
must bear the signatures of approxi
mately 32,000 registered voters.
Eight-Hour Measure Target.
The eight-hour measure, a Socialist
party proposal, indorsed by the State
Federation of Labor, is being attacked
most strongly by the Stop-Look-Listen
League. This measure limits all labor
to eight hours, with the exception of
farm labor, which is allowed 10 hours
when necessary. That this would
place Washington industries at a tre
mendous disadvantage in competition
with other states is argued by busi
ness men.
Of the "seven sisters," which are
backed by the joint legislative com
mittee of the State Grange, State Fed
eration of Labor and State Farmers'
unions, the Stop-Look-Listen League
Is supposed to be chiefly interested in
fighting the fisheries bill and the
measure adding a "first-aid" clause to
the workmen's compensation act.
The fisheries bill would make radi
cal increases in all licenses charged
against the fishing industry and would
force the so-called "fish trust" to use
each of its trap locations every year to
hold it. The "first aid" bill provides
that an employer must furnish medical
attendance to an injured employe.
InK Certification Reaulred.
A decision of the Attorney-General
holding that signatures on Initiative
petitions must be "O K'd" In ink by
city registration officials, has set the
backers of the seven sisters and the
eight-hour bill thousands of signatures
behind the number-on which they had
counted. In large numbers of the
smaller cities registration officials had
been certifying to these signatures in
pencil. These certifications are now
void under the Attorney-General's
ruling.
Neither Governor Lister nor any of
the members of his Administration
have yet come out in support of any of
the measures or against them, prefer
ring to wait and see if any of them will
find places on the ballot. Insurance
Commissioner Fishback. however, has
led a public attack on the so-called
"anti-pork barrel good roads bill."
Mrs. Serena A. Fleener Dies.
ALBANY. Or.. May 30. (Special.)

dent of Linn County for 34 years, died

During the morning 40 farmers with

of the club by taking their baskets and
filling them with fresh -produce. The

While the prices were a little lower

seemed to be a greater supply of ber

greater variety of vegetables for sale

While not absolutely "girlless" In its
operation, one employe under thissvs
tem is said to be ablo to do the work
now done by several.
The Bell system has displayed tin
greatest Interest in the operations of
the minimum wage law to date, hav
ing a representative from the Port
land office present at every confer- "
ence for other Industries. Data now
being compiled by the Commission
show that the wage level of the cen
tral girls is quite low. In the judg
ment of members ot the Commission
toe industry could bear, without harm,
a considerable wage increase, as ther
is no competition with other lines of
communication not controlled by the
minimum wage, and any increase mad')
could be handed on by the company to
consumers.
Arrangements for a telephone wasi
conference, to be held some time durinK
the month of June, are expected.
Arrangements probably also will b
made for calling a new laundry con
ference. The laundry conference hel.l
this month recommended an $8.50 wag
by a vote of five to four, the recom
mendation being rejected by tho Com
mission. When the laundry and telephone
wages are fixed the Commission In
tends to take up the wages of hotel
