Advantages Must Use Ex i vertion to Regain Prestige, By Blarshall N. Dana. ' Better late than never! Portland Is awakening: to the meaning- and value of commercial dominance. ; Possessing nearly all natural advan tages, and applying; them scarcely at ail. -we have begun to take lessons and , wamingc from the success of competitive ports, loss well endowed, naturally. With much commerce to retrain, all we have to keep, and tremendous fu ture business dependent on the strength of present organization, the hope of ac tion positively pointed is beginning- to replace a slumberous discouragement. Our lethargy Is growing- less, our en ergy greater. Wa are beginning to think in the terms of doing the things jtp be done. " - An evidence of a start In the right direction is the call for a. meeting of citizens Monday, at noon, to organize for definite support of the campaign to secure 40 feet of water on the Colum bia river bar. This meeting contains great poten tialities. It may result In organization, of all who have interest, to work per manently in behalf of channel deepen ing under the auspices of the Chamber of Commerce. The call fer the meeting is Issued by President A. H. Avertll. of the Chamber of Comfrierce. It ex cludes no onp hut it fV Miuniiiiitf di rected to those who are in places of re sponsibility in respect to the develop ment of this port's commerce. President Averlll announces that the time of this important gathering will not be permitted to be monopolized by vague "conversation." He is right. There are certain things to be done. Certain methods muat ha AvlmA fn. the dolnar. and the actual accomplish ment must b set under way. This is the situation: The great Co lumbia pours Into the sea a current ca pable of bearing ships of any size. By ita own energy it has created at Its very entrance the bar of sand and silt, over which the channel is 28 feet deep, since the work of the Chinook. The demand, upon the opening of the Pan ama canal, will be for a channel of 40 feet. Without such channel, the port cannot srive free entrance to commerce. The Jetties have been chosen as a means of narrawlng the mouth of the river from 7 to 2 miles. The south Jetty Is complete, the north Jetty is un der way. They will have great chan nel deepening value. But It is conclud ed, from the experience of all other river ports, -that dredging must supple ment Jetty aqtion. The Chinook has been, successful in work on the bar, but a greater dredger is necessary. A bill for a dredger of adequate size has been Introduced before congress. Support of the bill, and its passage as an. emer gency measure, are obviously neces sary. But it will not be all smooth sailing. The merit of the appropriation will have to be effectively shown. There is a vast amount of. misinformation; there la a vast amount of narrow view. A government engineer Is quoted as taring said that a duplicate of the famous leviathan dredge of the Mer sey bar could not b used on th rn. lumbla . bar, because she dredges through a center well, and the wae action on the Columbia bar would be too severe. William Bailey, engineer, personally Inspected the dredger Levi, athan at Liverpool, at the request of the Ports of Columbia committee. His report is before the writer. It speaks of, -the four 42-inch suction-pumps- at tached .outside the vessel, and operat ing in the same manner aa the Chi nook's pumps. A pilot of the Columbia bar. Is re ported to have said that dredging on the bar Is a failure, because there is on the bar now- but 24 feet of water. He further described the line of 1913 dredging' aa having been straight across the bar. then turning slightly northward. -The government's own map shows that the dredging was done on a line pointing southwest across the bar. Even a senator grants an interview, paying that perhaps it will not be necessary to appropriate a large sum for a dredger, because it could not be I...H t w . - . . uuui in less nun i wo years, ana Dy then it might not be necessary. He spoke, apparently, without any reflec tion that dredging and channel main tenance must be carried on constantly, that this is the case at Liverpool, that this Is the case at Hamburg, that this is.the case on the Columbia river chan nel between Portland and the sea. -A man whse views' are ordinarily sensible said: "All this business about the bar is hot air; it doesn't make any difference whether you have a channel of 40 feet or 400 feet. What ybu want ia lines of ships." He Is right about the ships; but how many ships sail without channels? He might have re- Make Yonr Meals Afraid of Yon Don't Be Afraid of Food.

Map was prepared under HEARST BUYS SITE Publisher to Have Lodge to Entertain Friends Upon Grand Canyon. William Randolph Hearst, publish er of half a dozen metropolitan dallies, has purchased a mile of frontage on that Titan of Chasms, the Grand Can yon of Arizona, where he plans to build .a lodge In keeping with the natural wonderland of which It will form a part. Here Mr. Hearst will entertain his friends who annually Journey from New York to Califor nia, and those who come from abroad to view the great natural wonderland. Here, also, in the midst of what is declared to be one of the most magnificent forests of pine in exis tence, will be created a park with winding driveways throughout its ex tent of 160 acres. The altitude at this point is 7500 feet and the depth of the canyon is 6000 feet. At this point, too, is the first trail built from the rim of the canyon to the bottom, more than a mile below, where the Colorado river winds Its way among the granite minarets that stud the bottom. The Grand View hotel, originally a log structure, but whioh has been made more pretentious by several ad ditions, is Included In the purchase Just made by Mr. Hearst This prop erty and El Tovar hotel, built by the danta Fe railroad at the top of bright Angel trail, are the only privately jwned tracts within the national for est reserve, of which the Grand Can yon forma a part. membered the letter of E. J. M. Nash, of the Royal Mail Steam Packet company, that their great liners will not be sent to this port unless there be a 40-foot channel on the bar. The commerce of the Panama canal, the commerce of the future, will not be handled in small carriers. There is such a tendency for perfect ly rood citizens to get one view of commerce need, decide that that is all there is to It, tad decry everything else. One will say, build docks, and the problem is solved. Another will say, channel is the only essential. A third will assert that lines of ships are the only necessity, and a fourth that local patronage of steamship lines Is the only thing to be considered. Can these good citizens not see the absolute need of all these things? We must have a deep channel for the larg est ships; we must have public docks for them to berth at; we must have lines of vessels, and we must have docks. We want a four-wheeled wagon strong enough to carry the load, and not be content to get only on a tricycle, a bicycle, or a unicycle basis. In connection with this article win appear the drawing that was hung on the wall at the Chamber of Commerce annual dinner Thursday nfght, and will appear again at the Tuesday meeting. It is intended to show how extensive is the area whose commerce could be -handled through the ports of the Colum bia. It shows the northern railroad lines, over which we have said Cana dian grain may be brought for export from the mouth of the Columbia river. It shows the middle west, district-of grain and beef. It shows an area of more than a million square miles. And already a critic has said: "It shows too much. Business could never be brought from so far to the mouth of the river for export." How little that critic knows. The report of the secretary of com merce and labor for 1912 shows that J18,019,45S worth of cotton materials was brought by rail from Louisiara and other. southern states and exported from Puget Sound.

ON IAN OF CHASMS INFANTS LIFE SAVED AFTER SEVERE SHOCKS Three Weeks' Old Child Safe, in Hospital After Brief Ca reer in Shoe Box in Which It Had Been Thrown - Away. New Tork, Jan. 17. There is today in New Tork a three weeks' old baby who deserves to live for 100 years. If there Is any law of compensation. The vicissitudes through which the young ster has lived since he was ushered, an unwelcome guest, Into this world would indicate that he has a future before him. Somebody threw a paper shoe box Into a vacant lot the other day. Per haps that was cold design and not fate. Some school boys were playirg around a bonfire in the. lot. One of them picked up the box and threw it into the fire. That was either fate or mischief. Another boy prompted, apparently by nothing, pulled the box from the fire before It had more than been scorched on the edges. That cer tainly was fate. The fire had unloosened the box lid and the boys saw a bundle wrapped in a newspaper. Again they threw box and bundle away. Another boy poked the bundle. That was fate again. unmistakably, knocking at the door this time. The bundle revealed the baby. The boys thought the youngster dead and were for leaving it and run ning away, when one boy insisted on taking the baby to a nearby undertak er's shop. Fate again. The under taker found signs of life and hurried the baby to a hospital, where the little fellow soon revived and proved to te sound In every way. The child has not been identified. The multitudes of Greater New York RAILROAD DID NOT REALIZE UNTIL SKINNER SHOWED IT if - yfrM ft ft 4a y III - Jrf n Top Track and car at East Independence for lifting baggage from river to depot! . Bottom Handsome new station Just completed. When the Oregon Electric railway was extended southward from Salem the officials were inclined to pass Eadt Independence by as a village hardly worth the dignity of a stopping place. But that was before Claude Skinner showed them. Claude Skinner has a motor launch of ample size, which he pilots back and forth between Independence and East Independence "many times daily. He was a sort of "Ferryman John" for the residents of either side who wanted to intercommunicate. ' t Now. Mr. Skinner, being a man ; of discernment. paw the lnterurban cars whizzing past East Independence with out even looking to right or left. "Why," thought Claude, "why should not the people cross the river in my boat as4 board the electric trains at East Independence?" He communicated with the traffic department of the railway ' and ar ranged for the stopping of trains. Fur ther negotiations went on, and. officials inspected the spot. They found "pros pects" and built a dainty little depot. Tha latest thing thai Claude, skinner now have a Dally Temple, the doors of which will never close and in whioh religions of every denomination and sect may hold services and discus sion. The little unpretentious building In East Thirty-second street was made posible by the enterprise and generosi ty of Miss Elizabeth Knopf and will be open dally and nightly the year through. Catholics, Episcopalitns. Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterian. United Brethren, Unitarians, Christian Scientists, Buddhists, Confucius fol lowers, Quakers, Seven Day Advent Ists, Latter Day Saints any and every kind of believers, will hold meetings In the Daily Temple. It is the plan of the promoters to make the unique chapel a sort of religious clearing house, where devotees of various sects and beliefs may meet and discuss their varying creeds and tenets. An Instance of the kind of thing for which the Dally Temple was built oc curred on the night of its formal open ing when W. T. Wei, a Chinese stu dent in Columbia university, read from the writings of Confucius and dis cussed them. He was followed Imme diately by Miss Knopf's young woman secretary who read several chapters from Isaiah. Woved Eycub, a young Turk studying fn Columbia university, ihen read from the Koran. He in turn was followed by the secretary who read from the chapters of St Paul, off setting the Mohammedan readings, as ber chapters from Isaiah were oppossd to the teachings of Confucius, read by the Chinese student. Miss Knopf then is chortling over Is an electric hoist, Just installed, by the company. This hoist operates on a slanting track from a floating dock in the river to the top of the bank, right where the cars whiz past. This hoist carries the bag gage of passengers, who walk up the slope on a newly built stairway. Last week the railway officials saw the beginning of a new house, which will be the home of a regular station agent to be appointed soon. That means that East Independence looms up bigger on the map,' and the "stone which the builders rejected"' Is going to be a landmark. Until the agent gets on the Job, Mr. Skinner operates the electric hoist him self, in' addition to his task of piloting the boat. ' Last month more than 2500 people got on the electric cars at East Independence. Arrangements probably will - be made this coming season to care for larger : freight . traffic from that poinU which is directly across the river from the . world's greatest pri mary hop market; jn fact, a ware house will be built ' along with the agent's residence, in readiness for fur ther development. , , s ,v J ' tM be handled through the mouth of the Columbia after the opening bar channel to 40 feet. Traffic lines indicate how Canadian grain direction of the Chamber of Commerce. "ad from Robert G. Ingersoll's "A ision of the Future." For the present the Dally Temple will hold nightly meetings for the dis cussion of announced subjects picked out by Miss Knopf; that 4s, one weeK will be devoted to the discussion of each subject, the same topio beins taken up each night in the week. But after the initial discussion, the meet ing will be open to all who desire to say anything. The voluntary speak ers may discuss any phase of any re ligion that appeals to them. "Th Daily Temple is my gift to all who want to use it." Miss Knopf said. "Never will there b6 a collection ta'Ken and nobody, of any creed or belief shall ever be turned away." A Wealthy New Yorker who said h- was "tired of climbing stairs," has engaged an entire floor of a costly new apartment house not far from Cen tral Park. On one floor with an ele vator approach, he has 30 rooms. The apartment house Is one of the largest in Manhattan. covering an entire square, so the man who wanted to escape stairways has street exposure, air and light on four sides, something that the multi-millionaire owners of Fifth avenue palaces are unable to command. Tired of living In detached houses where his home was scattered over three., four or five stuffy floors, necessitating endless stairways and worn out with the distractions of lift In an ordinary apartment house, where he had to rent two or three suites and had stairways to climb, the man set out to look for a dwelling place all on one floor. In New York, where ground sells for a fortune a front foot, the problem of having a 30 room dwelling on one level seemed like a large order. But not in thi New Yorker. He found an apart ment house to his liking that was not quite completed. All of the minor par titions had not been put In. He sought out the agents and the builders and made a contract for the whole eighth floor, to be divided according to his own notions. Accordingly he now has a whole house, palatiaUy equipped and all on one leveL And the cost la only the combined rent of the several apart ments that the floor would have con tained. His rent is much less than a 30 room dwelling; In any other shape would cost.. BIG PROPERTY DEALS REPORTED IN EUGENE Eugene, Or., Jan. 17.

T." 4- avt i HUNDREDS INVITED TO JOIN IN CAMPAIGN L Meeting Will Be Held at Commercial Club at Noon Tomorrow. Declaring "it is Imperative that something be done at once in this matter," the Chamber of Commerce sent several hundred Invitations yes terday to those expected to have spe cial interest in the campaign to se cure 40 feet of water on the Columbia river bar. Shippers, business men, ex porters and importers, heads and com mittees of business orlganixations are Included in tiie invitation to attend the meeting In the Commercial club at noon tomorrow, when it is purposed to organize positive support of the campaign. As the bill now before congress calling for an appropriation of $1,500,000- with which to build a giant dredger for Columbia bar work, is considered a first essential, sup port of this bill will be subject of chief consideration at tomorrow's meeting, says President Averlll of the Chamber of Commerce, who has Issued the call. To TUlt Washington. It Is expected that the meeting will result in -action on the suggestion made In the resolution adopted by the Chamber of Commerce Thursday even ing that a suitable person be sent at once as special representative of the commercial interests of the port to appear in Washington before congres sional committees and if possible se cure consideration of the dredger bill as an emergency measure. President Averlll will call the meet ing to order. Joseph N. Teal will describe our present commercial situ ation. Dr. Alfred Kinney, chairman of the Ports of Columbia committee, will discuss the necessity for united action by all the communities of the Columbia basin. The news that aggressive action is to replace apathy In development of commerce and betterment of channel is already being spread throughout the ports of the world. - It Is benefiting the ports of the Columbia; it is giving them a better reputation. The organi sation of the Porta of Columbia com mittee and the Chamber of Commerce program prompt favorable mention In the Pacific coast number of the Lon don Times in these words: Beport Gains Hotlca. "The Intention is to prosecute dredg ing as navigation requires with a view to enabling vessels of any else to come up the river at any time." The report of George B. Hegardt on the mouth of the Columbia, containing its history and possibilities of im provement, has been given inter national notice. The Item of addi tional Insurance on vessels crossing the bar has been a deterrent to com merce. Mr. Hegardt's discussion of results to be gotten by dredging sup plementing Jetty action has attracted the attention of several marine insur ance companies, including the Thames & Mersey Marine Insurance company, limited, of Liverpool, and-it was due to T. II. Harper, underwriter of this company, that a full column was given the subject In ths Journal of Commerce of Liverpool. The very attention given the subject of a publi cation so distant Indicates the inter est taken by all Europe In the trade relations to be established through the medium of the Panama canal. Two paragraphs of the statement, at least, warrant reproduction here. They read: "The Portland Chamber of Com merce has just issued an official re port dealing with the history of the Columbia river, a subject of great Interest to the world of shipping and of marine underwriting. One of the most remarkable achievement in bar and harbor Improvements recorded in western engineering is nearing comple tion at the mouth of the. Columbia river. Bar Under Control. "A most formidable bar, which once had a shifting channel area of six miles, has already been brought under complete control, except for a remnant of 1500 to 4000 feet width. This result was attained through the construction of a seven mile Jetty right into the teeth of the Pacific, through a sone where strong river, tidal and littoral currents contended and storm forces of winter were terrific. "Q. B. Hegardt. now chief engineer for the Portland commission of public docks, who was for seven years en gineer in Immediate' charge of the government improvement work there and has been a close student of the problem since, has written the , most lucid and convincing report on the great work yet prepared. In addition to writing a working history, he has set forth clearly the reasons why the future . plants will soon give all the depth of water required, and why dredging operations for Immediate re sults are essential. This review of the great Improvement work at the gate way of the mighty Columbia basin is a presentation of deepest interest to the empire awaiting development." E..F.

J. Hill Have Been Satis factorily Met. (Special to The Journal.) Albany. Or.. Jan. 17.- Conditions pre scribed by James J. Hill, in connection with his proposed endowment of $50. 000, have been met m-lth by Albany col lege authorities, and a committee has been appointed by the board of trustees to make a showing of assets and se cure the cash subscription offered by the financier. A special committee has also been appointed, with Dr. W. S. Boyd, Port land, chairman, for the purpose of passing upon the advisability of dis continuing; the academic and commer cial departments of the college. This committee will report at the next reg ular meeting In June. It has been decided to commence at once the work of raisins: money for the construction of suitable buildings on the new campus. don, for the Information of other members of the corporation. There will be a large amount of data on exhibit at the meeting tomor row to show the potential greatness of Portland's commerce and trade area, also to prove the practical value of dredging as demonstrated by the ex perience of other world ports. Dredging has created the entrances to the Panama canal. The dredgers Caribbean and Culebra have been in continuous service sine 1907 at the Atlantis and Pacific canal entrances, respectively. Continued dredging will be necessary to keep the channels deep. The dredgers Cetus and Nautilus, at Durban, Natal, South Africa, have deepened the channel there from 6 feet 1 Inch in 1882 to SS feet S inches in 1912, and the port captain recom mends the installation of another dredger with at least 1000 tons great er hopper capacity than either of the two now in use. When dredging began on Mersey bar. Port of Liverpool, the channel depth was 11 feet; It is now 30 feet at dead low water. Ona dredger after another has been added to the Liver pool fleet, until the Leviathan, with power to take up 10,000 tons of silt and sand in SO minutes, was installed. This vessel has made and maintains the splendid channel there now, a channel adequate for the Lusltanla, a channel of the kind wanted for the Columbia bar so that there also the world's largest vessels may be given safe entrance. Dredging has created the channel to Montreal on the Bt. Lawrence. Con tinuous dredging maintans the channel of the Elbe to Hamburg. Dredging is a proven essential for every other great river port, including New Tork at the mouth of the Hudson, Pendleton Farmer Dead. Pendleton, Or, Jan. 17.
