He counsels thai immediate action of a declsiv character be taken by Portland commer cial organizations and unhesitatingly and without solicitation promises his As sistance in every way possible. Hit views, stand and desires are set forth in the following letter received from Mr, Williamson by Secretary Max M. Shll lock of the Portland Board of Trade: "In the Oregonlan of today Is an edi torial In reference to the Government transport situation that occurs to ml very timely. It occurs to me that elthei your Board of Trade or the Portland Chamber of Commerce, or both, should now be jnovlng actively in this matter. I have no doubt they are. "Aside from the condition of the bai at the mouth of the Columbia River I caa see no business reason, save that ol pernicious inactivity, on our part, whj Portland should not have that portion o( the transport business which it can fur. nlsh aboard ship for the same or lest mpney than can San Francisco or Seat tle. His Plan of Action. "If such is the case, it would appeal of extreme moment to lay before th War Department the- exact conditio! relative to the facilities that now exist for the coming into and going out o) the Columbia River, if the mouth ol the Columbia Is in such a condition thai vessels drawing 2$ feet of water antf less cannot enter In safety there the remains but little to be snid In reference to securing for. Portland Its share of such transport business. . If, on the othei hand, the river is In such condition thai ships engaged In such traffic can entei in safety, ther fs--no legitimate reanoi why Portland should not receive a por tion of the rewards. "Speaking for myself, .1 fully appre ciate the necessity of having our facili ties for handling the transport buslnesi put before the War Department in th right light, If this hns not already beet done, so that those of our business firmi who may see fit to make an effort ti secure a part of this business may not bo handicapped by the theory that th river Is not navigable for such ocenn. going craft as are engaged in the "trans port service. I believe that lt is thi duty of our delegation to render everj assistance In its power to help aloni this important matter. I desire to staT to your board .that my services art ci call at any. time when in your oplnioi any word or act of mine wll be of as slstttnce." . -it - : PENDLETON'S SEWER SYSTER GRASS r MAKES TROUBLE Special Officer Caswell, upon whom devolves ths duty of keeping the side walks and streets of Portland-free from debris, is having . no small amount of trouble with citiaens who mow' their lawns and throw the grass into the street For many years there have been no objections to this interposed by the police, and people are slow, lt is said, to obey orders in this respect now.
