JAXTJART 29, 192J POIOFEXCK Hope Expressed Conference Will Get Results. SESSION ON TOMORROW County Commissioners and Others Feel That Portland Is Losing , by Delaying Relief. Portland civic bodies, business in terests and oitizens generally are hoping that the conference called for tomorrow afternoon at the court house will result in definite adtlon toward opening up the Columbia river highway. For two months the highway has been icebound east of Mist falls and traffic has been com plfrtely blocked. The general sentiment in Portland is that the time has come for action. Kot only Is the highway a scenic aer, but It is the. chief artery for traffic between eastern and. west ern Oregon. That it has remained closed so long is considered deplor able, and public sentiment is intoler ant of any suggestion that the situ ation be allowed to drag along until warmer weather affords relief. Some have predicted that if this course were taken It would be August before the highway would bo clear. Mr. Rndeen Favors Action. A desire to clear away the ice and snow within Multnomah county with all possible dispatch but as economic ally as possible was expressed yester day by Charles K. Rudeen, chairman of the board of county commissioners, who has cajled the public meeting for tomorrow. To the meeting, which will be held in room 201 courthouse at 2 o'clock, have been invited members of the state highway commission, members of the chambers of commerce of Hood River and The Dalles, county commis sioners of Hood River, contractors, autolsts and everyone Interested in the problem.! Several proposals for clearing the automobile artery are expected at that time and it appears very likely that one will be adopted for sentiment of county commissioners appears to be against further delay. Chairman Rudeen has sent two engineers to the scene to prepare estimates, high way engineers and others have studied the problem. Including Samuel fjj. Lan caster, builder of the highway.' Krlc Hauser has offered the services of the construction company of which he Is head at cost in the clearing of the roadway. Full Clearing; Wanted. "I am strongly In favor of clearing the highway as soon as possible, but want to find the best way and the most economical method," said Mr. Rudeen. "We have' had a bid of $15. 000 for clearing an e!ghtfoot road way from Mist falls to the county line, about 15 miles. In my opinion It would be almost a waste of money to cut such a narrow pathway, I be lieve the road should be cleared to Its full width.". Representative of the opinion of the heads of most of Portland's civic or ganizations is that of George L, Ranch, president of the Portland Ad club. "We are losing more than the cost of clearing the highway by the in terruption of traffic between Port land, The Dalles and Hood River," was the comment of Mr. Rauch yes terday. "The work of clearing the roadway will furnish considerable employment at this time, which is an economic gain. It Is Illogical for us to have gone to the expense which we have for the highway if we do not Intend to maintain it as an all year route. Help Other Cities. Is Advice. ' "Only by helping In the develop ment of the state can Portland reach its maximum development and in as sisting Hood River and .The Dalles by restoring traffic and trade along the highway. Multnomah county will have done much toward cementing ths friendship of those cities for Port land. "With spring coming on, there will be sunshine and warmth at The Dalles and Hood River while the earjy rains are still with us in Portland. The highway trip will be a popular one. The Ad club went on record two months ago as in favor of clearing the highway. 'Our sentiment has not changed." The clearing of snow on the high way In Hood River county ,1s being accomplished by State Senator Nickel sen at a cost of 11 cents a yard, ac cording to Amos Benson, who arrived yesterday in Portland after a four months' stay at the Columbia Gorge hotel, near Hood River." Mr. Benson said that 10 miles of the Hood River highway had been covered with snow and Ice of vari able depths. The clearing of the high way has been confined to a space about ten feet wide, or sufficient to allow one car to travel, but with nu merous turnouts to permit cars go ing In opposite directions to pass. Dynamite Is Vsed. "When Senator Nlckelsen, who Is In charge of ths highway in Hood TMver oounty for the state, began the task," said Mr. Benson, "he estimated that the work would cost $3000. I understand from engineers of the highway commission that his cost will be far less than that. "Me is using no heavy machinery and that is one reason that he is able to do the work economically. He uses dynamite in breaking the ice and snow Into chunks that can be handled. His force Is now working at Starvation fails, arrI when the work there Is completed, the last unit of clearing will begin at Shell rock, where there Is a quarter-mile stretch of Ice and snow." CEDAK LOU-KAPT TALKED OP Trans-Pacifio Trip Declared Possi ble During Summer Season. , ABEKDKEN', Wash.. Jan. 28. A mammoth raft of cedar logs may be towed across the Pacific ocean to Japan tills coming summer, according to R. Azumato, a log buyer for Jap anese concerns, who announced the plan here recently. Azumato believes :.. fe-t could be accomplished during th favorable weather that ordinarily prevails during the summer season. Japan la now enjoying a building boom, fostered by the Imperial gov ernment. The tariff on finished lum ber Is so high that Its Importation is impracticable and the lumber shipped from the United States commonly goes in the form of "Jap squares." great sticks that are admitted at the lower tariff rate to be sawed into lumber by Japanese mills. "It is expensive to ship lumber in any form to Japan." Mr. Azumato said. "And rafting It across the Pacific would save much money." Tide at Astoria .Sunday. High. Low. " M A. M TS feetlS-OB A.

GARDINER, Or., Jan. 28. (Special.) The fish companies on the lower Umpqua river regard the coming sea son wth growing optimism, as indi cations are that they will have a steady market as-well as an increas ing demand for sea foods.

Richmond and son This company was organized in 1816 and ever since has been doing a large volume of business, being able to pay a dividend January 1, 1922, in spite 'of the depressed and uncertain mar ket of the )ast year. This company has one of tbjp larg est fleets of fishing boats on the Umpqua and during the last season, from May 21, 1921, to November 20, 1921, shipped 93,824 pounds of Chi nook, 338,812 pounds of, silversldes, 2159 pounds of stealheads, 2274 pounds of sturgeon, 3515 buck shad, 13,665 pounds roe shad and 2642 dozen crabs to various places in the United States Five carloads of silversldes were shipped to New York city.

Dream Becomes Fact With Eastern Sailor Here. CARGO FOR MIDDLE WEST Transfers of Shipments to and From Orient Accomplished and Trade Is Growing. Actual realization of the long-heralded opportunity which Portland has been destined to enjoy as a point tor exchange of cargoes to and from the orient is no longer a matter of the future, but an everyday fact, as of ficials of the Columbia-Pacific Ship ping company now Illustrate by the arrival Friday of the steamship East ern Sailor with 1500 tons of general cargo for middle western and Atlantio coast states. This vessel is one of the fleet oper ated by the Columbia-Pacific to the orient comprising ten first-class steel vessels of the United States shipping board aggregating, nearly 100,000 deadweight tons. Schedules are main tained on the North China line and the South China . line from Portland ac cording to regular advertised sailings, while, extra berth vessels are fre quently dispatched in supplement to this service. Cargo Is Varied. The cargo landed here Friday by the Eastern Sailor was highly diver sified, including large .shipments to many eastern and middle western cities. The principal advantage ob tained by such shipments through Portland is the connection offered here by the Columbia-Pacific company with vessels it handles for the American-Hawaii Steamship company, which load cargo here direct for New York and Boston. Oriental shippers are quoted through rates both to the At lantic seaboard 'and to interior points. Among the items on the Eastern Sailor's manifest destined for Atlantio coast points are sheeps wool, rugs, furs, straw braid, nut oil, curios, bristles, horse tails, walnuts and eggs. The preference of shippers for landing their goods at Portland arises from the fact that diversion may be accomplished here according to mar ket conditions. Although compe tition is offered by lines handling di rect tonnage from the orient to At lantic ports, through rates are being quoted via Portland at no greater ex pense to shippers. While cargo is en route here from the orient ship pers may choose between Atlantio and middle western states for ulti mate delivery as market conditions fluctuate. Orders for diversion of cargo are received by telegraph and cable up to the time of arrival of ori ental vessels . here. Movement Is Growing. Movement of export cargo through Portland Is also growing constantly through the activity of the Columbia Pacific, which has opened agencies in New York and Chicago, and is ex ploiting the advantage of tranship ments here among large American manufacturing and exporting con cerns. Since Hie inception of tnia business through Portland many thou sand tons of Iron and steel goods, machinery, railway equipment and other manufactured products have moved over Potrland docks for ulti mate delivery to numerous oriental centers. Tonnage of this character through Portland is increasing, as recent cus toms figures snow, ana is largely the basis for proposals for further har bor development. It is pointed out that not only Is provision required for future handling of local business to and from the orient, but also for FREE For one more week we will give you free gen uine INLAID LINOLEUM for your kitchen with any new Buck's Range sold this week.

Transshipments are usually effected with minimum difficulty at this port, as illustrated January by the move ment from the steamer West Keats to the steamer Iowan or the American-Hawaiian service, whereby cargo landed here from the orient was on Its way east via Panama within 48 hours. I SEINE MARU TAKES CEREALS First Balk Wheat Shipment From Portland to Japan Goes. The Japanese steamer Seine Marn. of the Suzuki fleet, cleared for Na goya and Yokohama, Japan, yester day with a cargo of 305,357 bushels of wheat, valued at $353,830 and 8060 barrels of flourvalued' at I15.S06. Of the wheat 2100 long tons were loaded In bulk and constitutes the first shipment of bulk wheat from Port land to Japan. The remainder was taken In sacks. Rerjucerf to terms of wheat meas urement, the cargo to leave here to day on the Seine Maru amounts to 443,057 bushels and Is considerably larger than the cargo of 819.760 bushels of sacked wheat carried from Portland to Europe by this vessel when she left here last July. Going out In July, however, because -of the condition of the river channel at the dead low-water season, she loaded to a draft of only 28 feet, 11 inches, whereas going down the river today she will draw 29 feet, 1"4 inches.
