THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, OCTOBER G, 1918.
PROMPT AGTIOH OH "
MERGER PROMISED
Plans for Union of Port and
Public Docks Commis
sions Under Way.
BOND ISSUE RECOMMENDED
Engineer Ilegardt, Xow In Washing
ton, Urges Provision for Funds
"eeded at Once for Har
bor Improvements.
Prompt action in preparation of de
tails for presentation to the Legisla
ture in January 01 a bill merging the
Port of Portland Commission and the
Commission of fublie Xocks is promised
immediately by business interests con
cerned in the step.
It is undecided whether the new
body will be limited in deriving funds
to the present taxation district of the
Port of Portland, which last year rep
resented an assessed valuation of about
$300,000,000, about 5 per cent more than
the assessed valuation of the city, or
extend to the entire state in assess
ments for waterway improvements.
Bond Inane Is Urged.
Probably no development would have
made a greater impression on marine
and commercial circles than informa
tion sent from Washington by G. B.
Hesrardt, chief engineer of the Com
mission of Public Docks, urging im
mediate action for placing a bond issue
before the voter's in November, so that
funds may be made available for
needed harbor acquisitions, such as- a
big drydock. floating machine shop and
increased oil storage at the St. Johns
Municipal Terminal.
The Commission of Public Docks will
meet tomorrow afternoon and will have
before it a copy of the McNary ordi
l.n.nce, as amended by the Council Kr,
day, which will permit an extension of
time in which to file a proposal cover
ing the bond issue on the ballot for
the November election. Perhaps $3,000,
000 will be asked for to carry on the
work outlined to take care of shipping
to be offered in the near future.
Channel Work May Halt.
War conditions, it is pointed out. may
force the Government engineers to re
linquish channel improvements in the
Columbia River. The Port of Portland
has neither the funds nor equipment
to take over that work on short notice.
It is felt that there should be a channel
35 or 40 feet deep in the river.
To accomplish the harbor work alone
suitable equipment is not on hand. The
fact that dumping ground is rro longer
lo be had on either bank of the harbor.
It is said, makes satisfactory opera
tion of the present pipeline dredges im
possible, which are most desirable for
work on the lower river.
Whether the personnal of the new
commission would be selected as at
present, members of both serving with
out salary, or the number of commis
sioners reduced and placed on salary,
is to be determined. R. D. Inman is
resident of the Port or roiuanu.
Other members are Drake C. O'Reilly,
Captain James W. Shaver, Captain A
L. Pease, Robert N. Strong. Captain
E. W. Spencer and Captain W. H. Pat
terson. Charles B. Moores is chairman
of the Commission of Public Docks and
bis colleagues are John H. Burgard,
isen ening, a: C. Knapp and A. tx.
Averill. There are some who favor a
non-paid membership of seven, while
others preferring commissioners on sal
ary, would limit the number to three.
OVERALLS FOR MARIE ?
MISS DRESSIER OFFERED JOB
FIMSHER AT SHIPYARD.
AS
Employes at Grant Smith-Porter Plant
liope Fair and Patriotic Comedienne
Will Accept Position.
Employes at the Grant Smlth-Forter
plant are hoping that Miss Mario
Dressier will accept a position ten.
tiered her ny Kric V. Ilauser, general
manager, the title to be finisher and
the responsibilities having: to do with
finishing vessels being completed at
the plant.
On a visit there Thursday Miss
Dressier expressed herself as overcome
with a desire to actually get into the
sphere of shipbuilding, other than just
as a speaker to carry messages to the
yard toilers. Thereupon Mr. Hauser
proffered the tinisher's job. At first
he called it superintendent of finish
ings, but Miss Dressier demurred on
tho ground that superintendent might
be twisted to "super" and that smacked j
too much of early stage days. 1
As a big percentage of the 4000 men
i me uno on i ii. -ti..icu uvr .wane,
dropping the "Miss Dressier saluta
tion, she said she was certain it would
be a "nice place to work." And just
ior that she was presented with a ship
worker's badge, for it was held her ef
forts in raising the fourth liberty loan
subscription entitled her to be enrolled
with the force.
SPUDS GROW IX SHALLOW SOIL
Liffhtkeoper at Point Wilson Earns
Praio for Specimens Exhibited.
It is heralded from Fort Townsend
that potatoes exhibited there from the
war garden of Captain J. YV. Thomas,
keeper of the Point "Wilson lightsta
tion. and formerly a captain in the
Portland Police Department, are the
finest yet to be raised in that section
of the state of Washington. At the
office of Robert Warrack, superintend
ent of the 17th I-ighthouse District, it
is said there is only three inches of soil
in the garden at Point Wilson, though
it is mostly sand and has been enriched
by Captain Thomas so they believe it ,
will compare with the best garden land
to be found, except for its shallow
ness. Vegetables raised thero last year
were photographed and published in
official bulletins of the Bureau of
Lighthouses to illustrate what could be
Jone by men at lightstations.
SPACE DEMANDED PY PLANTS
Street Vacations Souplit by Estab
lishments in South Portland.
Ends of three streets In South Port
land are asked to be vacated in the
interest of shipbuilding establishments,
tphc Coast Shipbuilding Company seek
ing the use of Cibbs street, between
the Southern Pacific Company's right-of-way
and the river, and the Columbia
River Shipbuilding Corporation the use
of Curry and Fennoyer streets to the
rive r.
The Coast interests plan to extend
the present roadway no as to give more,
e-pace for tams and the parking of
auto uiu biles. The Columbia River. Cor-
poration has leased ground just south
of the Coast plant that Is being pre
pared for a lumber yard, &s large
quantities of such material are used in
connection .with the construction of
steel vessels. It is also planned to build
a concrete roadway along the rear of
the Columbia River plant, joining an
asphalt pavement now in place.
EACH ITEM USED CHECKED
Foundation Company Plans lo
Charge Every Ship Its Quota.
Under a new schedule now in full
operation at the property of the Foun
dation Company a completed Ehip is
delivered the same day a new hull is
launched, and today there are four ves
sels afloat there and four on the ways.
The score to date is 12 vessels deliv
ered and 16 launched.
As each carrier is - identical and
equipment and fittings are alike, it
has been possible to organize all de
partments to work toward the sched
ule. Paul B. Thompson, superintend
ent of the plant, has carried the sys
tem into the supply branches so that
a check is kept on each item. It is
said to be impracticable in all cases to
charge a certain "ship for every ex
pense related to it, but as far as pos
sible that is the plan.
Mr. Thompson left last night for
Puget Sound to confer with Bayly
Hipkins. head of the company In the
West, concerning future work here. As
yet negotiations for additional vessels
have not reached a point that prompts
the officers to announce them defin
itely. Vessel Lost at Sea.
SAN" FRANCISCO. Cal.. Oct. 5. (Spe
cial.) Captain R. G. Jones, commander
of the little British schooner Elsie May,
has arrived at San Francisco and re
ports the complete loss of his vessel
on a reef of the South Pacific. Captain
Jones and his crew abandoned the ves
sel when the seas commenced to wash
over the decks and there were indica
tions that the craft would soon break
to pieces. The crew made their way
to Tahiti and remained there until
they were taken away by a British
steamship. The Elsie Slay was a 400
ton vessel and was used in the copra
trade.
Boilermakers Work 4S Hours.
Portland boilermakers gave no heed
to action taken Friday at Oakland,
where the Pacific Coast Council was in
convention and adopted resolutions
calling on all unions to work a 44
hour week instead of 4S hours. The 44
hour week would mean one afternoon off
a week. It is said no official notifica
tion was received here and all men wen
at work yesterday as usual.

WOULD SAVE FEEDS
Food Administration Asks for
Pledges From Farmers.
CONSERVATION IS REQUIRED
Wheat Mill Products Should Be
Used Only for Dairy and Other
Essential Purposes Allies
3Iust Be Helped. '
Owlnj to the extension of the drouth area,
the shortening of tha com crop, the larger
animal population In the country, and the
allied demands jipon America for feeding
stuffs. Jt is necessary that every effort
should be exerted In the proper conserva
tion of feed during the next 12 raontha. and
at the lame time maintain pur own animal
production. It la neceaaary to ahip a larger
proportion of wheat aa compared with flour
during the next 12 months than during the
last 32 months to the allied countries, be
cause their shortage of feeding atuffs la
such that If they are to keep their dairy
herds aliTe, they must have a larger supply
of grain wheat.
One of the difficult problems is the dis
tribution of wheat mill feeds, and this Is
made more difficult by the fact that the
Food Administration. In an endeavor to pro
tect the farmer, is maintaining an artificially
low price on these feeds. One consequence is
tnat a great deal of mill feeds are now
going unnecessarily Into work animals or
beef production. Every farmer will rec
ognize that the wheat mill feeda are vitally
necessary for dairy cattle, to some extent
for poultry, and for young pigs. Owing to
the absorption of mill feeds at local points
near the mill, considerable sections of the
dairy industry are practically without mill
feeds and dairy production Is thereby In
danger.
With a view to correctlns this, so far as
possible, the Pood Administration appeals for
the assistance of the farmers of the country
In the use and distribution of wheat mill
feeds. In this view. It is asking every buyer
of wheat mill feeds, outside of the acute
drouth area, to sign a pledge of honor not
to uso the wheat mill-feeds for any purpose
except the essential use In dairy, young pig
and poultry production, and not to purchaae
or hld at any one time more than 60 days"
supply. Unless this careful and specialized
use of lnlil feeds can be secured, the dairy
production In the congested areas of the
United Ktatcl is bound to fall. Otherwise
it will be necessary to release the price re
strictions on mill feeds and allow them to
take their natural course.
The Food Administration is requiring
millers and feed Jobbers to distribute their
wheat mill feeds in such manner that each
state receives the same proportion of the
shipments as It received In the same quar
ter in 1117.
1RENCU WHEAT HARVEST COMPLETED
Crop Good In Both Quantity and Quality.
Threshing I'roceeds in England.
Foreign crop conditions are reported by
Broom hall in his cable of yesterday as fol
lows: Italy Dryness In parts has tended to
damage corn, but not to any serious extent.
Wheat outlook generally satisfactory. It has
been stated that the government intends to
concentrate wheat cultivation on the best
lands, with a view of utilizing more profit
ably the limited supplies of chemical ma
nures. France Harvest now completed and
threshing continues active. Wheat is de
scribed good In both quality and yield. Late
crops, such as corn and buckwheat are ex
pected to be smalller than last year. Oats
also are disappointing, but taking tha out
look aa a whole, it appears optimistic
Spain Reports generally confirm scanty
supplies, but there is no dearth of home
grown grain, while supplies from Argentina,
altnougii moderate, are being received with
fair regularity.
United Kingdom Gathering of the harvest
has been hindered somewhat by unsettled
weather, but progress made was satisfactory
and offerings on. markets are more in evi
dence. Arrivals of foreign wheat have been
of outstanding proportions. There is im
provement in .corn shipments. Oats ship
ments continue very encouraging. Harley
and rye shipments remain moderate.
vNorth Africa Threshing has made rapid
progress and it Is reported that supplies in
Morocco are now coming forward freely.
Russia Further reports are that Germans
are using great violence to extort grain from
the peasants of t.'kralne.
Argentina Coldness is reported In the
south and unset; led weather prevails in the
center and north. Wheat closed firm with
a good demand from foreign Interests. Corn
continues In fair request and oats absorbed
In substantial quantity at the present low
prices.

peace tactics and the need of week-end ad
