- PASTOR LOSES A BIG ONE
OTcked Fishing Pals Delude Rev.
Olsen Into Thought of Salmon.
Rev. J. 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.
