STATE TAKES STEP
TO GET MORE CARS
Lumbermen Are Told Lack of
Port to Orient, Strike and
Mexico Are to Blame.
PROMPT UNLOADING ASKED
Commission 'ov Is Handicapped by
toy Dearth of Information as to
Shortage and Urges Help
of Association.
SALEM. Or.. July . 8. (Special.)
Three principal causes contributing to
thfe present car shortage in Oregon,
1he Public Service Commission today
n'dvised the Willamette Valley Lumber
Manufacturers' Association, are.:
Lack of a port in Oregon from which
any great tonnage is shipped to Ori
ental countries, with a consequent de-V-rease
in the number of cars coming
into the state with products for Ori
ental shipment.
The longshoremen's strike.
Use of cars to facilitate troop ami
munition movements.
Citing these reasons for the car
shortage, the Public Service Commis
sion has informed .he Lumoer Man
ufacturere" Association, which entered
h. plea for relief, that it will do all
in its power to bring sufficient cars
into the state to handle the business
on hand and also future business.
Trade With Orient Lacking.
In a communication to the Commis
sion the Manufacturers' Association
calls attention to the handicaps under
which the lumber mills of the state
are now laboring because of lack of
cars. Replying, the Commission seta
forth the situation and the measures
for relief which it has taken as fol
lows: -
"In the first place, we have no port
in Oregon from which any considerable
amount of Eastern freight is shipped
to China, Japan and other Asiatic
countries, while such porte are found
both in California and Washington, so
that cars can be loaded with material
for trans-Pacific cargoes and supplies
destined for Alaska go either to Call
fornia or Washington ports. There
fore, a much greater tonnage comes
into those states than into Qregon,
and in order to handle the carload ex
port business from Oregon, empty cars
must necessarily be brought in to
handle such business.
Strike Is Also Factor.
"The longshoremen's strike on the
Coast at the present time is also
preat factor in the car shortage itu
ation, for the reason that practically
all of the product that was for
merly shipped, to San Francisco
by ocean carrier must now be trans'
ported by rail and ' this takes equip
ment that could otherwise be loaded
with lumber, and has brought about a
Situation that is somewhat abnormal.
"In addition, the Southern Pacific
Company, particularly, is burdened
with a large troop and munition busi
ness to the Mexican border, which has
tied up considerable equipment that
might otherwise have been used for
lumber or other product shipments and
has undoubtedly prevented much 'empty
equipment coming from California
points to Oregon.
"If you or your members will be more
explicit and give us definite details
as to the shortage, we wijl use our
betst efforts to secure curs rot the busi
ness offering. There is at the pres
ent time a serious menace to trans
portation because cars are not avail
able, and we do not know when any
can be had.
Effort Are Being Made.
"We are doing all in our power tp
keep in close touch with the situa
tion and are urging all shippers to
load and unload all equipment prompt
ly, regardless of free time allowances,
and to assist the transportation com
panies in every way in . their fower
to expedite the handling of all busi
ness, i
"We are receiving daily reports from
the railroad companies of available
cars and orders filled each day. Tele
graphic reports of today show a total
of 406 cars short on the Willamette
division, as against a shortage of 584
a week ago. If the members of your
association will furnish us with copies
of their orders or give us definite and
detailed information as to their speci
fic needs, we will bring all such mat
ters to the attention of the carriers,
with a request for the necessary equip
ment to handle the business.
"We are using our best efforts to
mitigate the present serious conditions
and are, we believe, fully alive to the
needs of the state generally, but with
out the specific information above
asked for, we feel that we would be
considerably handicapped in our ef
forts to get cars."

Near Bonneville,
Exploring trips to points of interest
In the vicinity of Bonneville featured
the first day of the Progressive Busi
ness Men s annual outing and picnic
yesterday, according to information re
i-eived by telegraph last night in Port
land. A party of approximately i 100
members of the club, with their fam
llies and friends, left Portland yester
day morning for the Eagle Creek camp
grounds in the Columbia Gorge a mile
and a half east of Bonneville. The
party was led by R. H. Atkinson.
The principal hike taken by the pick
nickers yesterday was a visit to Tan
ner Creek and Wahvella Falls, a little
known cascade about a mile from the
Columbia River Highwav. This triD
was through a canyon and proved an
extremely difficult one.
Today a visit will be made to Wahna
Point, which has an elevation of 2500
feet, and to the New Eagle Creek trail.
The party expects to return to Port
land tonight, arriving at 8:10.
it was reported that the Eagle Creek
camp grounds, which have just been
opened up by Supervisor Sherrard, are
in splendid shape.

ran convince the Supreme Court of
Oregon in an appeal to be heard thia
mouth that the statute book from which
the attorney for Douglas County
quoted in defense of a suit for collec
tion of the amount contained a "fly-
speck comma" which nullified the true
meaning of a. section. - ,
The Portland accountants presented
bill for 1 578.50 for auditing the
Douglas .County books. Payment was
refused on the ground that the Insur
ance Commissioner of the state had no
right to order the audit. The County
Court of Douglas County was sus
tained by the Circuit Court and the
case was appealed. Mr. Crumoacker
has just filed his reply brief in the
Supreme Court.
The statute book and Legislature's
journal quoted by him, covering the
point at issue, reads: "An audit of the
books and accounts of any city, county
school district, road district
may be made by . . . the State In
surance Commissioner."
The Douglas County attorney's brief
places a comma before "county" and
school district," making the audit
provision discretionary as applying to
counties as well as Softool districts.
This caused a misinterpretation of
the law, contends Mr. Crumpacker. His
brief states: "It 'is our belief in this

WILSON TO FAVOR
LOANS TO CHINESE
Government to Stand Back of
Finances if No Conces
sions Are Involved.
NEW ALLIANCE UNOPPOSED
Effect of Russian-Japanese Treaty.
on American Interest Is Not Re
garded Sufficiently Vital to
Justify Any Protest.
BY JOHN CALL AN O'LAUGHLIN.
WASHINGTON. July 8. (Special.)
Reversion by the Wilson Administra
tion to the former policy of encourag
ing American bankers to make loans to
China will be one of the results of the
announcement of. the new treaty of
alliance between Russia and Japan.
Details of the treaty received by the
State Department from the American
Embassy in Tokio confirmed the pub
lished reports. Each signatory agrees
not to join in any political alliance or
commission directed against the
other. Both have bound themselves to
protect each other's "Far Eastern terri
torial rights and special interests."
Wilson Not to Protest.
President Wilson will not protest
against the treaty because he does not
regard the American interests affected
sufficiently vital .to justify an act
which would arouse both Russia and
Japan. Nevertheless, the treaty will
have far-reaching consequences, as of
ficials and diplomats here fully realize.
China herself is so concerned about
it, in anticipation of some sort of an
arrangement of the kind, she has been
urging the Government here to encour
age Americans ' bankers to make loans,
arguing that the United States had no
designs on her integrity, and that the
way for her territory to remain intact
was for this country to starui behind
loans made by American houses.
The American International Banking
Corporation recently made an advance
of $5,000,000 to the Chinese government
and other advances are in prospect.
Immediately after his inauguration, the
President Issued a statement withdraw
ing support from the American banks
desirous of participating in the so
called "five-power" loan arid declaring
that "our interests are pilose of the
open door, a door of friendship and
mutual advantage; that is the only
door we care to enter."
Japan Encouraged by Wilson Act.
The action of the President caused
the abandonment of American partici
pation in the "five-power" loan, but,
more than this, it encouraged Japan, to
make the demands which China held
struck at the heart of her sovereignty.
It is now learned that the State
Department Is prepared to approve
participation of American bankers in
the "five power Joan, and will pro
tect them in the rights they secure.
provided no concessions are involved
In other words, a straight-out loan not
involving railroads or other- conces
sions will be approved; a loan acoom-
' tnnt .be) frt a ill nrt Vt a v flf r a fr, m An t 1
backing.
The treaty between Japan- and China
binds them in alliance not only against
any "political alliance" menacing their
interests in the Far East, but against
any "combination." This means that
should Mr. Hughes, in case of election,
attempt to pursue the Hay policy of
forming a combination in support of
general interests in China, Russia, and
Japan, acting together, will object to
the point of arms.
Russia's Obligations Shown.
How extensive are the Japanese
rights which Russia now is required to
champion will be seen from the fol
lowing points contained in the Chino
Japanese treaties:
First Possession by Japan of the
rights, interests and holdings which
Germany enjoyed in the province of
Shantung prior to the war.
Second Non-alienation by China of
any part of its coast to a hird power.
Third Exclusive construction by Ja
pan of a railroad in Shantung.
Fourth Extension of the leases oV
Port Arthur and Dairien and railroad
concessions for ' 99 years, exclusive
rights, commercial, industrial, mining,
etc., to Japanese subjects in Man
churia; agreement by China not to
make loans relating to Manchuria
without Japan's consent and employ
ment by China of Japanese advisers
in Manchuria, etc.
Japan's interests were extended by
the negotiations to the Yangtse-Kiang
Valley, where they conflicted with
those of Great Britain. Indeed, the re
sult of the negotiations were to ex
tend largely Japanese control of China.
It was apparent to Japanese states
men that Great Britain could not in
terfere with their activity in China
because of her pre-occupation in
Europe. .

WOMAN, 93, IS HONORED
Birthday Anniversary of Mrs. Hel
' mick Observed at Albany. .
ALBANY, Or.. July 8. (Special.,)
The 93d birthday of Mrs. Sarah S.
Helmick, one of Oregon's earliest pio
neers, was celebrated here July 4.
Mrs. Helmick was in one or the first
companies of pioneers to come to Ore
gon, arriving here in 1845. Her long
journey across the plains was her wed
ding trip. She enjoys the distinction of
being one of Linn County's oldest resi
dents. She was botn in Harrison
County, Indiana. July 4, 1823, being one
of a family of 12 children. She moved
with her parents to Burlington, la.,
where she attended school in a small
log house. . As a child she learned to
face many of the hardships of pioneer
life in that state.
On April 2. 1845. she was married to
Henry Helmick, and they next day they
began the long trip across the plains

with a Mr. McDonald as captain. When
they reached the Cascade Mountains,
after an eventful journey, the party
divided, some of them driving the cat
tie across the old Barlow trail. There
was no road then and the wagons could
not be taken that way, so the wagons
and goods were brought down the Co
lumbia River on rafts. - ,
The raft on which Mr. and Mrs.
Helmick had their goods split in the
rapids and they lost everything they
had, not even saving a change of
clothing. Kjven what money they had
was in a trunk on the raft and was
lost, so they began life in an unsettled
country without any possessions.
Mr. and Mrs. Helmick went first to
Tualatin Plains. Mr. Helmick got
work from a man living there who had
a squaw wife. This Indian woman was
very kind to Mrs. Helmick and fur
nished hi e with clothing until 'she
had time to make some. ,
In December, 1845, Mr. and Mrs.
Helmick moved to Salem. There were
four houses there then. In the Fall of
1846 Mr. and Mrs. Helmick took up a
donation land claim in Polk County,
near Parker. She still owns this claim
on which they settled 70 years ago.
Mr. Helmick died in 1S77- and the

son and his wife live with her. Mr.
and Mrs. Helmick had five children
four sons and a daughter. Three sons
have died. The surviving son is James
Helmick, of this city, and her daughter
is Mrs. Tedrow, of Corvallis. . She has
six grandchildren and five great-grand
children.
Mrs. Helmick has been blind for 11
years, but is always cheerful, and her
uniformly pleasant disposition has
been remarked about frequently by her
friends. Despite her advanced years
her mind is clean and she takes a keen
interest-in current affairs. Newspapers
are read to her daily and she enjoys
having late books read to her.
