policy of shipping is defined,"
say A. I'. Haines, vice-president
and geileral manager of Pacific

proving their worth' and demon
strating fact that they can be
made to pay. We have hocked
cotton on every steamer sailing

i the first cotton to move through
Portland in years. The line i
permanent, w ithout question, and
with assurance that we can de

THAT SPECIAL SESSION
Salem, Ore., Aug. 14. (Special)
William G. Hare, representa
tive from Washington County, is
unable to perceive the necessity
of calling a special session of the
state legislature to ratify the
womnn's suffrage amendment to
the federal constitution, accord
ing to a letter received from him
at the executive offices today.
'However, should your judg
ment direct vou to call an extra
session for the sole purpose of
considering not to exceed one or
two measures, I am willing to at
tend without cost to the state
continued Mr. Hare.
"Permit me to suggest, howev
er, that in mv opinion, before an
extra session is called, some nn'
derstanding should be arrived nt
with respect to its duration. Like
a great majority of the members
of the legislature, I am busily en
gaged, and while I am willing to
devote a dav or so to the service
of the state, I do not care to be
entertained bvilong speeches,

made for political purposes onlyi,
