Richard Olson, pastor of the Immanuel Lutheran church, yesterday lost the biggest salmon of the year while fishing near Jennings Lodge. . Judging by the tug the fish took at his line. It must have weighed at least t SO pounds, according to the minister. Mr. - Olson, Collector of Customs Thomas C. Burke, Chief Customs In- '. specter McGrath and Inspector John Klippel went fishing yesterday. None had any amount of luck in the early part of the day. The minister, warmed ' by the bright sunshine, gradually fell asleep with the line in his hand. ? Judge Burke silently crept up to the bow where the minister was dozing, and gave .the line a heavy tug. "I've got one, I've got one," yelled the suddenly awakened minister, and commenced pulling. "Oh, pshaw, he"s gone," be added, and during the rest , of the way home talked about what an enormous fish he must have had. The fishermen bad good luck on their trip, each member of the party returning with at least one salmon, while Klippel secured two, one weigh ing 47 pounds and the other 20. MINNESOTA STICKS FAST . Divers Now Ordered to Blast Ledge v ; On Which She Rests. Seattle. Wash.. April 17. (TJ. P.) f Every effort to float the giant transr . pacific liner Minnesota, aground in the ' Inland Sea of Japan, has failed. Ac cording to Great Northern Steamship company officials here, divers have been ordered to break up the ledge on : which the bow of the big vessel is -resting, with explosives. . j- It is unlikely, they say, that the ' vessel will , be Been in Seattle this month, even If the present work meets with the best success. It is possible the Minnesota cannot be brought to this port this summer. ' Although the inland sea is somewhat protected, an official of the company admitted frankly that the Minnesota is subject to the fury of the Pacific ocean," and might be in danger of meeting further damage from pound- . Ing on the rocks. No word has been received here ' since the dynamiting operations began a few days ago. It is presumed, on , this account, that the work is pro gressing favorably.

BLOEDEL SEES LARGE DEMAND Fl : ON ATLANTIC COAST President of the West Coast Lumber Manufacturers, Is Encouraged at Prospects, Chicago, April 17. .1. N. S.) Since the opening of the Panama canal Douglas fir lumber has been going into the eastern markets at the . rate of 125,000,000 feet a year, according to J. H. Bloedel, president of the West Coast Lumjjer Manufacturing associa tion. Bloedel. who is also president of the Bloedel - Donovan lumber mills at Bellingham, Wash., today stopped off here on his way to Seattle from New York, where he has been Investigating conditions arising from the use of the big waterway. Discussing the matter, he said: "It is my prediction that develop ment of' new markets for Douglas fir in the Atlantic states because of the Panama canal opening will soon take care of 250.000,000 feet per year. Later I look for the consumption to reach even higher figures, say boo,' 000.000 on up to 400,000.000 feet. "The greatest present need in the west coast trade is more vessel ton nage. When this Is secured, freight rates will become normal and the bus! ness will expand to huge proportions.' The normal annual output of the sawmills in the entire state of Ore gon is about 2.000,000,000 feet, and Mr. Bloedel's prediction, therefore, Port land lumber dealers say, would Indi cate that before long a very material percentage of its output will find a demand on the Atlantic seaboard. This has also been the findings of Portland lumber manufacturers who recently investigated conditions In New York, Boston, Philadelphia and other At lantic coast ports.

Public Service Corporation President Testifies Before State R. R. Commission, HEARING IS COMPLETED , j : , " . v r- ' V . i' Testimony Is Concluded, After Thirty Cays' Searing, and Has Been ! Tranaorlbed. Salem,' Or, "April 17. Franklin -T. Griffith, president of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Co., told the state railroad commission yesterday afternoon that courts today do not re gard franchises as having value in cases involving rates. This is a new and recent doctrine," he said. "In previous years," be continued, "the doc trine was that they were of great value. Since investors in early years paid hard cash for franchises which were then regarded as of great value, and the Investment was honestly made, I do not think that they should now be deprived of that value simply be cause there has been a change of theory. Franchises acquired in the fu ture should Have no greater value than the.cost of acquisition.' Testifying In an effort to convince the commission that certain waterfront properties In Portland bad considerable value, Mr, Griffith said that 18 miles of logging road was to be built as an extension of the Mount Hood line to Caxadero, and that logs would be hauled to th waterfront in Portland and boomed there, Appraisal Held Xarg-e. Mr. Griffith made the statement that, the appraisal of valuations was the largest ever made in the United States by a public utility commission, and that no general adjustment approaches it in value. Mr. Griffith contended that Jitney competition in Portland was . cutting the receipts of his company to a large extent. "I wish to impress upon this com mission that it has three duties to per form in making its final decision as to values and rates," said Mr. Griffith. "It must consider the rights of the public, the operatives and the stock holders. The Portland Railway, Light & Power company has 1000 stockhold ers and 600 bond holders. Our future extensions and betterments depend greatly on how. this commission de cides this case. 'The company's earnings are now practically at a standstill. In a great measure this probably is due to the war and the consequent financial de pression, unregulated jitney competi tion which we have had to face is also a factor In the company's present situation. That this Jitney erase will adjust Itself before long I am con fident. Save Seduced Expenses. "Without decreasing our service, but by greater efficiency in operation and management we have reduced our op erating expenses greatly, but never theless our gross earnings now are $100,000 a month less than a year ago. This is due to increased taxes, fixed charges and competition. As an in stance of how we have tried to cut un necessary expense, I will say we have not painted oifr street cars since last August." Discussing the proposed new line of railroad to extend 18 miles from either Cottrell, on the Mount Hood line, or Boring, on the Cazadero line, through and beyond Sandy, Mr. Griffith said that he was not at liberty to divulge thn ; names of the Darties nearotiatinsr for its construction. He declared that I there are 400,000,000 feet of the finest timber in the world in the first six miles from Sandy. When this railroad line is built and logs are transported to Portland, the value of the water front holdings there will be greatly increased because of use for booming purposes, he said. Testimony Xs Concluded. Fearing that there would not be enough water available at a later date for the needs of both corporations, the Portland Railway, Light & Power com pany has hesitated in furnishing to the Crown Willamette Paper company a site at Oregon City for a hydro-electric plant, as requested recently, said Mr. Griffith. Testimony was concluded yesterday afternoon in the case and the company was given 60 days in which to file a brief. The commission will also noti fy cities interested that they may file briefs on testimony introduced. The J testimony has been transcribed and is available for those interested. The taking of testimony in the case took 30 days. Bishop Sumner Is Coming to Portland Bpisoopal Prelate Will Hot Attempt to Speak at . Eugene, Though He Will Visit Church Tnere Tomorrow.
