DIFFICULT TO LAND IN FUTURE Juneau Resident Says For mer Failure of Portland Line Has Done Damage, GOODS IN BAD ORDER Frank Heartiness of Alaskans Tunis I to Cold Skepticism After Re peated Abas. Portland ia going to have a hard battle to install herself In the (food graces of Alaskans following the fiasco mad by the Portland Steamship com- j puny in inai ueciion ibbi year, accora tug to L. II. Jernlgan, a Portland man who went Into business In Juneau last summer. In Alaska they scoff at the Idea of a Portland steamship line. The treat ment accorded by the last line, its lack oi schedule, the poor class of the Ves sels used and the non-payment of calms has made a mighty poor Impres sion on the Alaskans. " "I went up there last summer with out knowing a soul but having excel lent Portland connections," said Jer nlgan yesterday. "Within three weeks I was doing a general produce business of $1000 a month. I depended on the Portland line. My goods came to me In rotten shape. In one case of eggs 1C dozen were broken. Grapes, fresh fruit and vegetables that left this port in fine shape got to me unfit for any thing. Alaska Welcomed Unt. 'The people of Alaska welcomed the coming of the line with open arms. 1 had any number of men tell me that they had longed for the opportunity to buy In Portland for many years and tley proceeded to make the best of It. They all suffered as I did. "Early In the fall the Portland line quit. I had sen It coining but had been told that It would only be a tew weeks till better and bigger boats were put on. But I sent word to j. Seattle house that I would like to do business with them. They repllod very nicely that one of their salesmen would call on me at his earliest op portunity. "Three weeks later he came. In the meantime I had written every other ' "produce house there In the same vein I Ti ls salesman came in, shook hands with me. inquired where I had been buying, pussed the time of day and left saying that he would be back in an htur. Will Setnra to Alaska. "lie never came back nor dll one other house accept my business. I was ostracized by them because 1 had come from Portland and because I had used the Portland steamship line and dealt with Portland merchants. I held on for several weeks on such poultry and the like as I could pick up there. Then I paid my few bills, packed my trunk and left. "I am calling attention to what I let Just that Portland people can get an Idea of what Seattle spirit is and . what they must buck in order to get In there again. I, for one, will go back the moment I can do business with , firms that can supply me with the .right kind of stuff and I'll make money, xor mere are no people and la no other country Just like the Alaskans." INVESTIGATION TO CONTINUE Solicitor of Department of Justice to Probe Case of Smugglers. San Francisco, Nov. 20. (P. N. 8.) "With John B. Dlnsmore, solicitor of the department of labor, already In San Francisco, and four Investigators from the department of Justice speed ing toward here, the most thorough .investigation ever made of the San .. Francisco immigration service im pends. Dlnsmore, after a secret conference with Edward White, new commissioner of immigration at Angel Island, has divulged his mission here. He said: "1 am going to conduct an lnvesti- Jatlon into the immigration service lfficultles and fix responsibility for - them. The smuggling of Chinese is the principal subject under investiga tion, and I cannot but believe that - someone has been receiving money. I ahull assume full charge of the in quiry. James HugUefl, assistant com- . mlsstoner of immigration at Philadel phia, ts returning from Idaho to a-'klst : me. "I ahull make a thorough investi gation of the charges preferred against . immigration officials and I shall seek to determine wherein lies the weak- . tiess which has, been responsible for Qitnese smuggling."

By a strange FREIGHT IS MAGNET BY WHICH VESSELS ARE DRAWN TO PORT Desirability of Terimnal Rates to Mouth of River Pointed Out to Realty Board, The startling disparity between the commerce totals of 10 months for Seat tle, the Pugpt sound metropolis and Portland, endowed with water grade location that should operate to get the businesH, was presented before the Realty board's outspoken session Fri day. During the 10 months of 1915, end ing October 31, H was said, Seattle's ocean borne commerce aggregated $206,370,436, according to the report of the port warden. During the same period Portlan-l's Import and export commerce is re- ported by the custom office to have been $18,184,698. On the presumption Ithat Seattle's figures Include coast wise traae ana possioiy 10 uie Aiianiic coast, Portland's figures of $34,007,018 in coastwise business and $10,234,161 to New York are added, making a total of J62.426.877. Seattle's excess over this figure for the first 10 months pf the year is the huge total of $143,944,559. Vew Steamships Announced. It was stated to the Realty board that while Portland announces a scien tific analysis of the situation respect ing ship lines, or, rather the lack of ship lines. W. R .Orace & Co., an nounce a new line from Puget sound to Central America, touching at San Francisco, but passing the Columbia river by. The line is to consist of five vessels, two of which are passen ger liners. The same company an nounces three new vessel for trade through the Panama canal between Puget sound and New Tork. Ship lines, it was pointed out, are Bent where there is tonnage,-and if this port or the ports of the Colum bia expect to handle business the irr ebuttable rate making based on the mountain haul to Puget sound must be cured, terminal rates on a parity with Puget sound mutt be granted to the mouth of the Columbia river, use must be made of the means of water trans portation and t'he community must be willing to work with all the district to get the big things necessary. Commerce Committee Authorized. On motion of John F. Day. a com merce committee of the Realty board was autnorizea. it will make contin uous study of commerce problems. Norwegian May Come.

Been Presented to Judges Gatens and Gantenbein. ;J STATEMENT IS ISSUED ! I After Careful Deputy Declares That Consideration District Attorney Favors Dismissal. ! i : I ! ! No motion for dismissal of the in dictment charging election fraud against Albln L. Clark, a retired army officer, has been presented to either Circuit Judges Gantenbein or Gatena and neither Judge has declined to sign j tne oraer. otn, nowever, nave ex pressed reluctance to do so. Judge Ga tens because he granted Clark a new trial after Clark was convicted, and Judge Gantenbein because he was elected at the election in which the frauds occurred and changes were made on ballots for and against him and because he and Clark are both Spaniah-Arneriean war veterans. Collier Makes Statement. Clark was convicted on his second trial after a first Jury had disagreed. A. M. Butler, court reporter who took notes of the case, died before the notes were transcribed and on that ground a new trial was granted. Deputy Dis trict Attorney Collier said that he had been able to find no evidence to con nect any one "higher up" than Clark In the alleged fraud. Regarding, the reported attPmpt and failure to secure the dismissal; Collier made the following statement: "After careful consideration of all the circumstances, the district attorney has reached the conclusion that thd Clark case should be dismissed. This man was tried twice, each trial last ing an entire week. The case was an unusually close one, the evidence being entirely circumstantial. The first trial resulted in a disagreement, the Jury standing six to six. The second trial resulted in a verdict of guilty, which was set aside by the court on account of the intervening death of the official reporter. Experiences Are Cited. "I have had frequent experience with Juries trying a case after a disagree ment, where the Jurors, although more or less convinced of the defendant's guilt, have brought in verdicts of- not guilty on the ground that he had been punished enough. This fact, together with the cost to the county, the dls- , - . i .it,AM th Inn., of ' time since the crime occurred, and the! persai ul wi . - . fact that Clark has already undergone a consiaeraoie puniaiaineiii., i reasons upon which is based the de termination to move for a dismissal. "Ko dismissal order has been pre sented either to Judge Gantenbein or Judge Gatens, but I am aware of the fact that both of these readily see why it might embarras either of them. It makes no differenece to me what Judge signs the order. When it is signed It will be done upon motion of the district attorney, wno wm mcci the responsibility." OH, HOW H HE GET IT? HeDJiessy's Face Cut and He Blames It on a "Nat."

Scouts for Republican presidential candidates have been In Oregon lately to see if it will be advisable for said presidential candidates to seek the en dorsement of Oregon Republicans In the primary election to be held next May. These "advance agents" have been endeavoring to get a correct line on sentiment in the state before the can didates decide sbout the primary elec tion. Defeat in the primaries of three or iour states mignt puncture a fairly j ....... cniuciLiia i iiuuiii. raucn m ais- play of weaknesa might seriously af fect delegates from other states which do not have presidential primaries. Speculation Is Xlfe. So there is considerable speculation In political circles as to the number of Republican "presidential, possibili ties'' who will permit their name io be submitted to Oregon Republicans next May. As a general thing it Is expected, that the primary elections will "smoke out" the candidates ear lier than usual. The first primary elections will be held early In March, Indiana, Minnesota and North Dakota will vote in March. Klgbtsen states have presidential primaries, and these states will have a majority of all the delegates In tha nert Republican national convention. so the situation becomes somewhat serious to the candidates who would really prefer to make no'poeitlve Wove until the time of the convention. The 18 states which have some form of presidential primaries snd the number of delegates to which they will be entitled In the next Republi can national convention are: Califor nia, 26; Illinois. D8; Indiana. 30: Iowa, 26: Maryland. Is: Massachusetts. I; Michigan. 30: Minnesota, SO; Nebraska. 16; New Jersey, 28; New York, 88; North Dakota, 10; Ohio. 48; Oregon. 10; Pennsylvania; 7; Houth Dakota, 10; West Virginia, 16; Wisconsin, 28. XTamss Are Considered. ' It Is reported In political circles that In all probability former Vice President Charles W. NFairbanks of Indiana, Senator John W. Weeks of Massachusetts, ex-Senator Theodore E. Burton of Ohio end Senator Albert Cummlngs of Iowa will permit their names to go on the primary election ballot In this state. It Is Considered probable that the name of Senator William K. Borah of Idaha will also be placed on the ballot if he will give his consent. There may be others." In some of the statss which have presidential primaries only the dele gates are voted for, hut In Oregon in. addition to electing the delegates to the national convention the voters will be given the privilege of expressing their direct choice for president and vice-president. Election of Delegates. "Before the name of'a candidate for president can be placed upon the pri mary election ballot In this state It will be necessary for such candidate to submit to the secretary of state a written request tbat his name be' put on the ballot or 1000 voters 'Pf his party must petition the secretary of state to put. the name on the Fallot. The candidate Is then to be voted for or against the same as the candidate for any state office. Delegates to the national conven tion will be elected at the same time., Oregon is entitled to 10 delegates, and two are to be elected from each of the three congressional districts snd the remaining four will be elected from the state at large. F.ach elector there fore will have opportunity to vote for six oft of ten delegates to be eleeted. The primary election situation does not concern the Democrats so much as it is considered a foregone conclu sion that President Wilson will be the choice of his party for reelection.
