Immense amount of effort to get the
three interests together. If the ves

submitting the same to the Board for
its approval." -
Some have urged that the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific be op
erated continuously to the river by the
new company, if the transfer is made.
It Is held by those favoring the move
that the passenger trade here is not so
heavy as from Puget Sound, and that
the turbines are essentially passenger
boats, while the cargo movement from
Portland and the river Is always very
heavy, and vessels with larger cargo
capacity are especially needed. It is
also presented that the present system
of sending cargo to and from Flavel by
rail. Involving two handlings, is not
economical, but that the vessels should
come to the point of origin for their
freight.
Public Voice to Be Heard.
At the meeting held yesterday, which
was presided over by President Co
bett. of the Chamber, it was decided to
refer the question of future rates, aad
many other issues presented, to the
Portland Traffic and . Transportation
ARSoniatlon. President Mitchell. of

One argument now Is that the San U !"gge"icd biL.t.c.agJlcure,

two vessels, since the loss of the Bear
in June, cannot handle" all of the cargo
L offered here, and the turblners, being

attractive and comfortable passenger
accommodations, are transporting all
freight possible. With the President
and Governor, which are larger cargo
carriers than the turbiners, added to
the fleet from Portland, it is argued
Viv those favorlnnr the merger that the
t total amount of cargo moved would be
increased and the four liners would ai-

the .chief damage ln the shopping and
residential districts. The bombs, which
were of large size, demolished com
pletely houses and small shops which
they struck.
The first squadron of five airplanes
was followed at short intervals by a
second squadron and then a third and
fourth, each of which repeated the tac
tics of the first group.
' The worst damage done was from a
group of bombs which struck the busi

face an attack from entente allied air
planes which would be sent against
them from the other side or tne tn
lish Channel. The British and French
airplanes met the Germans on the way,
and SDirited air figntlng occurred with
the result that three of the raiders
were shot down.
The number of fatalities is likely to
show a considerable increase, as many
of the injured are reported by the offi
cials of the local hospitals to be in a
critical condition.
Reports this evening from the sur
rounding district indicated there was
some bombing of neighboring villages
even some distance Inland. These bombs
mostly were drooped as the German
airplanes were making a wide circle
to approach this town from the land
side.
-The Intervals of comparative quiet
after the departure of each squadron
of raiders were only broken by the
sound of distant firing of naval guns
out at sea and were even more har
rowing to the populace than were the
brief periods when the bombs actually
were bursting in the town.
People Hide for Hour. -
After each visit the people in shelters
or cellars asked each other whether
this was the last. Hours after the last
raider lad gone many people kept to
their shelters ln peuer mat more raia
ers were coming. There was much em
ployment for voluntary relief workers
this evening. The hospitals were crowd
ed, not only with injured, but with
women and children suffering from
shock, while the police and constables
had their hands full patrolling the de
vastated districts and doing the grue
some work of rescue, identification and
hundreds of odds and ends which such
a crisis brings to an unprepared town.
LONDON, May 28. German airships,
to the number of about 16, raided
Southeast England on Friday evening,
according to an official statement Is
sued today. Seventy-six persons were
killed and 174 persons wounded. Three
of the German airships were shot down.
The raiding aircraft which were
brought down were airplanes.
Nearly all tne damage occurred in
one town, where some bombs fell ln
the Btreets, causing considerable
casualties among the civilian popula
tion. Many Bombs Dropped.
The following report on the air raid
was made by Field Marshal Viscount
French: .'
A large squadron of enemy aircraft
about 16 attacked Southeast Eng
land between 5:15 and 6:30 o'clock last
evening. Bombs were dropped at a
number of places, but nearly all the
damage occurred ln one town, where
some bombs fell into the Btreets. caus-
nar considerable casualties among tne
civil population. Some shops and houses
also were seriously damaged.

went in pursuit and the raiding air

rons of the Royal Naval Air Service
from Dunkirk on their return journey.
The Admiralty reports that three en
emy airplanes were shot down later by
the letter."
Three hostile airplanes, reiurnins,
from last night's raid on fc,ngiana. were
brought down by British air forces in
the Knglish Channel and off the Bel

"In the evening several enemy air

counter took place between one British
and three hostile airplanes in mld

This was followed in quick succes

their load of bombs haphazardly on the
startled inhabitants and on the outlying
villages.
