THE SUNDAY OREGONIAJi", PORTLAND, JULY 2, 1923 EAST SIDE TRAFFIC DEVELOPS PROBLEM TO SEli SHIPS jiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiuiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiuiiiuiiiii' DO Y OUR EIEMB ER? 27 OP FLEET OF 65 WILL GO Tear it up! TO HIGHEST BIDDER. Reason for Action Is Because of Council to Be Asked to Put Curb Upon Carelessness. Inability to Conduct Marine Without Great Loss. 12 MAJOR ZONES DEMANDED Ordinance Compelling I'ull Stop Before Entering Principal Streets Held Solution. John W. Kennedy. - Designation of major traffic (streets and requiring motorists to , come to a etop before entering such streets, on the east side of the river, as a means of reducing the roumber of accidents, is advocated by Captain H. A. Lewis, in charge of the traffic department. Such streets (have been designated in other east ern cities and a large reduction of traffic accidents has been the re sult. "The east side presents a difficult problem," said Captain Lewis, "for there the majority of accidents are caused by speed and carelessness. The greater number of these acci dents occur on comparatively few streets, which are mainly used as thoroughfares by automobiles com ing and going to the suburban dis tricts, namely, Mississippi avenue, Williams avenue, Union avenue, East Broadway, Sandy Boulevard, East Stark, East Burnside, Belmont, Hawthorne avenue. Division and Hilwaukie avenue. Drivers Are Careless. "The majority of accidents are caused by the carelessness of driv ers darting from a side street into the moving traffic in these thor oughfares without paying any at tention to this traffic." Captain Lewis proposed that in designating these streets as major traffic arteries, the council enact an ordinance which will compel every driver to come to a full stop before entering the streets and then to en ter in such a way as not to invite accidents. "I am informed that Chicago and other cities have such regulations and I recommend that the city of Portland adapt the system as soon as possible," said the captain. Captain Lewis is also of the opin ion that Portland must soon adopt a new semaphore system to replace the obsolete system now in vogue. Overhead System Advocated. An overhead' system which would work independent of the officers di recting the traffic is the plan favored by Captain Lewis. Such a system would be expensive, in com parison with the standup sticks now used as semaphores, but the city, must come to it, according to the chief of the traffic division. "The semaphores we are using are obsolete," said Captain Lewis, "and must be replaced by something more effective. I realize that the city is short of funds, but some attention must be given this subject because the traffic is increasing by such leaps and bounds as to necessitate some system whereby the traffic can be moved with more speed and with more satisfactory results." NURSES TO VISIT CITY Between 500 and 1000 National Convention Delegates Coming. Between 500 and 1000 of the grad uate nurses who have been attend ing the national convention of the Graduate Nurses' association at Se attle during the past week will ar rive at the union station for a day's stop-over in Portland en route home.

Motion picture theaters that fail to submit programmes a month in advance, as required by rules of the motion picture censor board, will face revocation' of licenses, if the city council approves the course adopted by the board. Of all the theaters operating in the city, about 13 are said to submit their pro grammes in advance. - The censor board, at its meeting yesterday, de cided to go before the city council and request the revocation of li cense of any theater that fails to follow out this ruling in the future. Members of tHe board declared that the principal trouble is en countered with the small suburban theaters. The large motion picture theaters In the downtown district have followed the rule. The board approved the picture, "The Call of the North," which had been 'condemned by viewers. The board made one single elimination before approving the film. . A new list of viewers was submit ted by Mrs. Elenor T. Colwell, sec retary, and approved by the board.

They came via Omaha, Cheyenne, Salt Lake, Ogden. and down the Colum bia ighway. In Cheyenne they de clare the mud was six or more inches deep in all of the streets. Mr. and Mrs. Keller are in love with Portland: and he may stay here. All by his lonesome came J.

They are on their way to Spokane to visit Mrs. A.'s mother. They are ranchers, and therefore can afford a vacation while the "taters" are ripening. White House. Pa., is for the first time in evidence at the camp,! the guilty persons being Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Thomas and a 14-year-old daughter, Amelia. They left White House in the summer of 1918 and since then Amelia has taken her schooling in homeopathic doses, first in one state, then in another. Mr. Thomas is, or was, an auto dealer, now he is a regular loafer! They are on their way to Los Angeles for Amelia to try the California schools; next school year she will probably try Texas, maybe Connecticut, for the family does not expect to get back to White House until Amelia has her diploma, say in about three years. . 22 Graduates Get Jobs.

FOB, OB1QAXS AHD HOMELESS (Cpyrlght by the Public Ledger Com pany. Pu'blUhed by Arrangement.) .OTTAWA, July 1. (Special.) The Canadian government, having burned its fingers very badly try ing to build and operate a merchant marine, has decided to cut its losses and sell about one-half of Its ton nage. Of its fleet of 65 vessels, 27 of the smaller ones will be offered to the highest bidder. If the re maining vessels, which will con tinue to be operated by the govern ment railways,, do not make a better showing, it is only a matter of time until they, too, are Bold. The loss on the fleet last year, in cluding interest and depreciation, was a little more than $8,000,000. The fleet cost $73,000,000, or at the rate of $191 a ton. It has been de cided to write down the valuation to replacement cost, or to $60 a ton, or a total reduction of about $40, 000,000. , While the government has found It necessary to sell a large portion of its tonnage, the Canadian Pacific railway has added 100,000 tons to its fleet during the last year, and in sp'te of very strong competition Is doing well.. At the recent conven tion of the Canadian Manufacturers' association it was suggested that the government sell the whole of its tonnage to private interests, the opinion being expressed that the Canadian Pacific railway was the only corporation that could compete with the United Fruit company for the West Indies trade. The popularity of the St. Law rence route with Americans is to be seen in the fact that 17 parties con ducted by American tourists' agen cies or clubs will sail by Canadian Pacific railway steamers for Eu rope within the next month. Shriners' organizations and Ro tary parties going to and from Cal- Uornia are traveling via the Cana dian route. The Canadian Pacific railway trans-Canada train, which crosses the continent In four days. is a strong attraction with Amer leans. BIG DOINGS ON FOURTH Legionnaires of Reedsport Are Sponsoring Celebration. REEDSPORT. Or., July 1. (Spe cial.) "Spend the Fourth In Reeds port," is a sign to be seen all over western Oregon. ' These banners were put out by the American Le gion boys here, who are trying to put on the biggest celebration of Independence day to be found in Oregon this year. "Wades flat," a 40-acre plot of ground near the city, has been built up as if for a fair. A big grand stand has been erected and all the appurtenances of a regular fair and carnival are going up. Many con cessions have been sold, not the least of which is a big seaplane, which will take up passengers in addition to doing stunts. Two huge oxen will be barbecued on the ground and all will be welcome to partake. Special train service has been promised by the Southern Pacific and a special boat service will take care of auto tourists at Scottsburg, as the auto road to Reedsport is not yet completed. A programme of sports has been arranged. 60 ACCUSED OF SPEEDING Most Forfeit Ball Money, June Records at St. Helens Disclose. ST. HELENS, Or, July 1. (Spe cial.) During the month of June complaints were filed in Justice Philip's court against 60 persons charged with speeding. Only a few of those accused appeared before the justice, the others forfeiting bail money. Justice Philip has not fol lowed the precedent established by his predecessor, M. F. Hazen, who found It easy to say $15, $20 or $25 and costs, but usually gives the ac cused person a lecture on speeding and assesses a nominal fine, giving warning that the fine will be more for a second offense. The fines levied by the justice average less than $10. In addition to the 60 speeder cases he had Jl prohibition violation cases and five cases against parties charged with violating the game law.

The Portland branch of the Uni versity of Oregon extension division left the city yesterday morning at 6:30 o'clock for a Breakfast piende at Riverwood, near Oswego. All wore masks and- most wore unusual costumes. The train had scarcely left Port land when a fusillade of shots quiet ed the clamor of the merrymakers, and a mock hold-up was carried out in realistic style except that James Fleming, motor cop No. 153, who was with the party, in his zeal handcuffed the desperadoes before the work of looting had fairly begun. At Riverwood the picnlcera were greeted by a ewarm of eheeted fig ures, presumably Ku Kluxers. These UNION PACIFIC SYSTEM Oregon-Washington Railroad & Navigation Co.
