PORT BODIES TO ASSIST
Commissioner Chamberlain Sends
Word Matter Is in Hands
of Vice-President Love.
Portland's application for the al
location of three combined pas
senger and freight steamers of the
"502" design, which was filed with
the shipping board a few weeks ago,
has been before the commission and
at present is in the hands of Vice
President Love, who is awaiting
figures on operation, passenger
travel and cargo details as to bus
iness between Pacific coast ports
and the orient.
That is the text of telegraphic in
formation from Commissioner
Chamberlain of the shipping board,
received by Frank L. Shull of the
Portland Flouring Mills company,
chairman of a committee that in
itiated the application.
Port Bodies to Corporate. .
Quiet work carried on In con
junction with the efforts of the
committee- probably will be - aug
mented by the Port of Portland com
mission and commission of public
docks, which will support the cam
paign and probably adopt resolu
tions indicating the advisibility of
adding the desired tonnage at Port
land and showing that the effort for
added facilities in the Pacific trade
is a community aim and not a com
merce necessity sought solely in the
interest of a small group.
"I gather from Commissoner
Chamberlain's telegram and other
information available that serious
consideration is being accorded
Portland's request and that results
probably will be realized," said Mr.
Shull.
Showing Declared Convincing. .
' "I have advised the port commis
sion of what has transpired uq to
this time. While the shipping board
no doubt is obtaining data from its
own sources, the showing should
strengthen the position we have
taken with respect to the ships be
ing placed in the direct trade from
the Cqlumbia river."
As two of the vessels of the type
sought are idle at San Francisco
and reported in condition for imme
diate service that is viewed as op
portune and the success attending
the operation of shipping board
freighters from here to the far east,
while foreign lines are plying in
the trans-Pacific sphere, likewise
the stupendous growth, of the com
merce of the district in the last
few years, are factors declared im
portant in support of the opening
for the operation of the liners.
APPLE CARGOES DUE TO GO
Motorship Dindeldyk to Start
Movement to Europe.
While the motorship Dindeldyk,
of the Holland-America fleet will
Btart the movement of apples from
Portland to Europe in the joint
service maintained by that flag and
the Royal Mail interests, she will
load shipments as well on Puget
sound and at San Pedro. The re
frigerator capacity aboard is about
46.000 boxes, but the Nebraska,
which has space for 175.000 boxes,
will follow herclose1y. The Dindel
dyk is looked for here October 24
to 26 and the Nebraska is slated to
arrive October 27 to 30.
The Kinderdyk. which was here"
the latter part of last month, had
apples aboard from Seattle and took
on more at San Pedro., The Glamor
ganshire, which leaves today, is not
fitted as are the other ships, so took
no apples. The' Gothicstar, of the
Blue Star" service, is to be here
Tuesday to start the apple move
ment to Europe for that line and
there will be some pears forwarded
as well, the first boxes of those
being received yesterday at terminal
lo. 4.

of the Columbia river to Cape Hinchin
brook, on the southwestern Alaska coast.
Stations have been equipped at Fort
Stevens, Ocean Park, Tatoosh, New ,
Dungeness, Smith island, Cattle point,
Soapstone point and Cape Hinchlnbrook.
With the exception of those at New
Dungeness, Smith island and Cattle
point, these stations are In continuous i
operation. Commander Rice has nusiier- i
out? letters for commanders of vessels ,
in trans-Pacific service, who have- es
tablished their positions by communicat
ing -with the Tatoosh station. He urges

pany today were that the trans-Pacific
liner President McKinley, . homeward
bound from the orient, would reach here

sible by a ruling of the United States
shipping board permitting masters to
speed up when conditions warrant. The
McKinley is crossing the Pacific in

no atempt to engage in a race with the
British vessel.

to various difficulties with machinery,
crews and weather was nearly a year
on the way from England.
SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 7. More Cali
fornia foodstuffs, particularly fruits, are
going to France than ever before during
peace time, exporters here declare. Crop
failures, especially in the Bordeaux dis
trict, are given as the reason. The re
sult Is that vessels in the European
trade are leaving here booked full with
l'aeific coast products.
Between 10,000 and 15,000 tons of
California dried fruits alone will ,be
shipped to Bordeaux this season. As
evidence of the heavy movement the
French line haa four vessels on the Pa
cific coast at present. This is the first
time since the service was started that
there has been more than two vessels
here at once.
Captain Murray, master of the Matson
Navigation company's motorship Annie
Johnson, reported on his arrival here
today that the vessel had sprung a leak
on the voyage from Mahukona, None
ot the sugar cargo was believed to have
been damaged, however. An inspection
will be made as soon as the sugar cargo
Is discharged.

HOT TO STAY IDLE
Efforts to Be Renewed
Aid Disabled Veterans.
to
BONUS BILL IS SEPARATE
Programme Mapped for Congress
by Mr. Sweet Apart From Ad
justed Compensation Plans.
BY GRAFTON WILCOX.
(By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.)
- WASHINGTON. D. C-, Oct. 7.-In
addition to renewal of efforts to
consummate soldiers' 'bonus legis
lation when congress reconvenes,
additional legislation to promote
the welfare or world war veterans
is to be pressed. . .
r Representative Sweet of Iowa, au
thor of the law which centralized
all soldier relief activities of the
government in the veterans bu
reau, is directing the programme
for further legislative relief. He
has the co-operation of Senator
Walsh of Massachusetts, who
worked with Sweet on the pro
gramme of. relief in the last con
gress and in the session just closed.
To date the government has ap
propriated $2,000,000,000 for care
and training of the disabled, has
arranged for expenditure of more
than $35,000,000 for construction of
new hospitals and created a sepa
rate veterans' bureau to supervise
relief measures.
Two Measures Separate.
Champions of the soldiers do not
propose to stand on what has been
done. The programme being consid
ered by Representative Sweet U
entirely apart from the bonus meas
ure. Mr. Sweet includes in the pro
posed programme for further relief
the following:
Enactment into law of what Is
known as order 57, which permits
the veterans bureau to rate men
who are, have been or shall be
inmates of hospitals or asylums
during a continuous period of one
year or more as totally and perma
nently disabled.
To make provision that in no case
shall the compensation of a dis
abled man be reduced unless a
physical examination shall have
been made subsequent to his last
rating nor until he shall have been
given at least three months notice
of the proposed reduction.
Extension to Be Sought.
To provide that psychosis, neuro
sis, psycho-neurosis, active tuber
culosis or chronic empyema devel
oping within three years after
separation from the service shall
be considered to have been acquired
while in the service. The present
law limits the period to two years.
To make certain that in the event
of death before or after discharge
or resignation from the service the
veterans' bureau shall pay not more
than $200 toward the funeral ex- '
penses and shall provide a flag to
cost $5 to drape the coffin of the
deceased, the flag to become the
property of the next of kin.
To provide that the veterans' bu
reau shall furnish each patient -on
discharge from a hospital with a
statement of medical findings as to
his condition.
Death Awards 59,732.
To make more liberal provisions
for the reinstatement of lapsed in
surance policies and for the invest
ment by the veterans' bureau of
insurance premiums in interest
bearings obligations of the United
States or in bonds of the federal
farm loan bank. '
' In summarizing what has been
done relative to compensation
awards to ex-service men, Mr. Sweet
has made public a statement which
showed 59,732 awards have been
made on account of death; 356,114
awards have been made on account
of disability: 254,458 checks amount
ing to $8,105,917 are now being sent
monthly to disabled veterans or
their dependent relatives; 175,137
disabled ex-service men are now
receiving compensation in addition
to medical and hospital care where
needed; 44000 of the total men now
receiving compensation were
wounded in action . overseas mr 42,000
men are receiving compensation as
the result of diseases contracted
while in service overseas ; 11,524
aare now receiving compensation for
31,630 temporary total; 12.995 per
manent partial'; 118,988 temporary
partial; 274.492 war risk policies are
in force, representing insurance in
the amount of $2,064,531,283; 286,
356 United States government life
insurance policies are in force, rep
resenting insurance in the amount
Of $1,062,610,928; 153,024 war risk
term insurance claims have been al
lowed, representing -a total of $1,
345.352.690: 2091 United States gov
ernment insurance claims have been
allowed, representing a total of $8,-
98,625 ; $354. ziz. z 22 has been paid
out thus far for insurance, claims.
Full Duty Not Yet Done.
"I am sure," Mr. Sweet said today,
"that it is the purpose of congress
to do everything possible for the
benefit of the disabled ex-service
men. The United States has han
dled thus far the question of the
disabled ex-service man in a broad,
comprehensive and humanitarian
way. '
"No other government engaged
in the world war has equaled the
United States during the war or
since in the enactment of legisla
tion for the benefit of the disabled
ex-service men and their depend
ents. But this does not mean that
they have done their full duty. Eu
rope is on the verge of bankruptcy.
The credit of our nation is practi
cally unimpaired."
3-MILL TUX IS URGED
XO RISE IX LEVY WANTED,
SAYS COMMISSIONER.
Mr. Pier Explains That Passage
Merely Continues Present
State of Affairs.
Success of the three-mill tax
measure at the November election
will not result in any increased
taxes, but defeat of tbe measure
would seriously cripple city activi
ties, according to City Commissioner
Pier, in charge of the department
of finance.
"The three-mill measure has been
placed on the ballot for ratification
because the tax commission has
questioned the .legality of the levy
without the third authorization,"
said Commissioner Pier.
The three-mill levy was first au- I
thorized November 12, 1919, and
again on November 2, 1920. The
last time it was authorized the pub-
II
me opinion mat txie iai wuu
in effect until such time as th
council could conduct city affairs
without it.
"But the tax commission has held
that the levy cannot be made in
1923 without another authorization.
This means that we must ask the
voters to ratify it. It will mean
the continuance of the same tax levy
that has been in effect for the last
three years.
"Failure of the measure would re
sult in the cutting down of every
department about 28 per cent. . No
department could escape, so natur
ally defeat of the measure would ne
cessitate the closing of some of the
fire stations, curtailment of the po
lice force, dropping of much of the
playground activity, reduction in the
health forces and a one-fourth re
duction throughout the city forces.
A salary reduction for all city em
ployes would also be necessary if
the three-mill measure is not rati
fied." STOCK CLOSES STEADY

EIS
Patents Down 20 Cents Due
to Cutting in North.
OTHER GRADES ARE FIRM
Bids for Milling Wheat Advanced
One Cent on Local Exchange;
Millfeed Market Strong.
A reduction of 20 cents a barrel in
family patent flour to $7 a barrel list
price was announced by local mills yes
terday. The decline was brought about
by price cutting that Is being indulged
in by some of the mills on the souna
which has unsettled the market for fam
ily flour In this territory. According to
flour men the cut was not warranted by
conditions at this time, with the wheat
market in a 'firm position. No change
was made in bakers flour or in other
grades of family flour aside from pat
ents. The millfeed market Is firm, especial
ly on millrun, for which there is a sharp
demand.
Trading in the wheat market was tn
light volume at the close of the week.
Bids at the Merchants' exchange were 1
cent higher on milling wheat and un
changed on the other grade.
Firmness continues in the coarse
grain division. Oats, except clipped.

pool, with December at 9s 8d. March at

Broomhall's cable said of the strength
cf . the British market:
"The continued scarcity of shippers'
offers of wheat has created a very firm
tone In the markets in the United King-
! dom. Buyers are anxious to purchase
parcels in nearby positions, but offerings
are extremely light and firmly held at
good prices. Despite thle, however, buy
ers in some cases are taking hold even
at the high levels and any sizable quan
tities of Manltobas for October shipment
are being taken up. The export trade In
wheat continues slack owing to the diffi
culty In securing wheat In nearby posi-
, tion."
Argentina conditions were reported by
cable as follows:
"Wheat prices In Buenos Ayres yester-
9.5010.50 j day advanced cents due to the ad
8.50(&) 9-50 ) vane in the exchange rate. Fore i an
demand for wheat has been fairly ac-
i tiva but offerings of wheat from the
! country are limited and supplies of old
j wheat recently have been greatly di-
I minished. Corn movement from the in-
Lerior ie being maintained on a large
rcale. Weather continues fine and fa
vorable for the condtioning of corn.
United Kingdom demand for corn ap
pears less brisk. There Is some demand
for corn in nearby positions and full
prices are being paid. There is some
continental inquiry for corn."

CANADIAN CROP IfS NOT RECORD
Present Wheat Yield Only ' Kxceeded
Onee. In 1915.
The average wheat yield per acre for
all Canada this ear, according to the
preliminary crop estimate of the Do
minion bureau of statistics, la 174
bushela. This average in higher than
for any year since the bumper crop of
1915, when it was 29 bushels, the next
highest being In 191B, when It was 17.10
bushels, and higher than the decennial
average of 35 bushels, according to
the bureau.
Total yields of all grwins are as fol
lows, with last year's yields in brackets:
Fall weat, 16,932,000 bushels (1.5.520,
200); spring wheat. 371,841.000 (2S.V337,
900 ; all wheat, 3HS.773,00 (300.88,
100) ; oats, 5S8.3S8.000 (426,232,900) ;
barley, 7A.395.500 (5,709,10O; rye, 49.
601,800 (21,453,260) ; flaxseed, 5,296,000
(4,111,800).
"The total wheat yield is 29 per cent
above that of 1921 and Is the highest
on record with the . exception of 1915,
when the total was 393,542.600bushelB."
according to the bureau. "For oats, the
total is 31 per cent above that of last
year, and is the highest on record, the
previous record total being 530,709,700
bushels in 1920."
POTATO TRADE IS ' ONLY LOCAL
No Shipping Demand for Oregon Stock
eported by Dealers.
There Is no shipping demand for local
potatoes and the only movement from
the country is to supply this market.
Jobbers are holding the best graded
Oregon Burbanks at $1.25. Ungraded
stock is selling on the street around 11.
The movement of potatoes throughout
the United States around the first of
the month was in lighter volume than
for the same week last year, when the
peak of over 11.000 cars was reached the
second week in October, and an average
of about 10,000 cars ruled for several
weeks. The lowest week's movement so
far this season falls below 8000 cars.
With lighter supplies the lower prices in
most markets may be explained in part
by the great abundance of local stock.
Growers do not seem Inclined to hold
back shipments except in sections where
prices are thought hardly to justify the
riek of consignment.
S.MATX INTEREST SHOWN IN APPLES
Demand Expected ti Revive Later in
Reason.
The local demand for apples continues
qulpt and is not expected to improve
much until grapes and other fall fruits
are off the market, when the low rul
ing prices should be effective In stimu
lating consumption. Stocks are fairly
large of Gravensteins. Jonathans, Kings,
Grimes Golden and Waxena.
Sales at interior shipping points are
few In number. Yakima reported choice
Jonathans at 758."ic and We na tehee
sold the same grade at 85 cents ; also
medium to large ancy Delicious at $1.7$,
and very large fancy Homes at 41.20
1.25.
The eastern markets as a rule were

FCGGLE HOPS NEARLY CLEANED IP
Moderate Demand for Clusters With 10
Cents Best Price Paid.
The supply of fuggle hops is nearly
cleaned up with the beet lots bringing

ters was 10 cents, but a few bids have
been made at a fraction better. The
lower grades were quoted at 7 Se
ll ost of the recent buying has been
of the best grades to replace rejections
and this has created a fair demand for
good hops, but inferior hops are not
wnte.
Only a few carloads among the trans
actions to date represent new eastern
business. There is no prospect of ex
port trade.
ALL GRADES OF BUTTER FIRM
Cube Extras In Small Supply and Hi ber.
Kcks Steady.
The butter market was very firm at
the close of the week. The demand for
cubes was active and top grades were
scarce with extra held at 45 cents. No
change tn print prices for Monday were
announced.
Eggs were steady at unchanged prices.
With fresh stock scarce more attention
waa paid to storage eggs.
Poultry cleaned up generally except
late arrivals and the market was un
changed. Dressed veal continued weak
