TO EXPLAIN POINTS
OF SCENIC INTEREST
Grand Trunk Pacific Steam
ship Company to Inaugu
rate a New Feature.
Announcement has just been made
by the Grand Trunk Pacific Coast
Steamship company of a unique ar
rangement, and something entirely
new In the Alaskan excursion service.
An official courier will be attached
to each'of the steamships ,rPrince Rup
ert" and "Prince George" on their
Alaska trips commencing in June. The
officers engaged are men having a
wide acquaintance In Alaskan and
Yukon circles.
Their special duties will be the en
tertainment of the passengers Who pat
ronize the two Grand Trunk Pacific
flyers on their Alaskan trips this year,
and will consist of explaining points of
Interest along the route, giving short
and breezy sketches of the history of
the settlement and development of
the country, legends and folklore of the
Indian tribes of the coast; the glaciers
and many special beauty spots from a
scenlo point of view, as well as con
ducting passengers who may desire to
go ashore at ports of call; also taking
them over the White Pass & Tukon
Railway trip to the Summit from Skag
way, and in addition will organize en
tertainments on board In the way of
concerts, lectures, dances and card
parties. They will also pay particular
attention to see that passengers re
ceive proper attention as to the bag
gage, customs and immigration ar
rangements, railway connections, hotel
accommodations, etc., and endeavor to
make the voyage on the steamer of in
terest throughout its entire length.
The company feels that outside the
luxurious service provided on the
steamers and the natural attractive
ness of the routes themselves, this ad
ditional feature will be much appreci
ated by the traveling public generally.
It has been felt often times that If
some means were, provided whereby
passengers on a trip of this kind could
be made acquainted, or some general
Interest aroused, the trips would be
more enjoyable, and it is proposed by
the Grand Trunk Pacific to keep
"something doing" all the time.
ALASKAN FIXHaDS alluring
Portland's Chances in Traffic Busi
ness Pointed Out.
With Seattle preparing for"' the big
gest Alaska season in history and
every available passenger carrying ship
already booked far aheaa, it is singu
lar that Portland has not seen Its way
clear to put on Alaska service also,
in the opinion of John M. Scott, gen
eral passenger agent of the Southern
Pacific company, who has returned
from a short trip to the sound.
More tourists than ever before are
arranging to visit Alaska this summer,
he said, and the supplies for the new
Alaska railroad are of themselves af
fording ample cargo for north bound
ships, to say nothing of the supplies
used in the gold and copper mines
and in the fisheries.
Mr. Scott observed both at Seattle
and Vancouver that the waterfronts
are unusually active, with every avail
able craft, however antiquated, being
put into service.
New Wharf to Rise.
Seward, Alaska. April 12. (P. N. S.)
--To replace the wharf destroyed by
fire several months ago, the Alaska
Engineering commission today has
under way plans for the construction
of a new dock on the. Seward water
front. The plans approved by the com
mission call for the construction this
year of a dock 350 feet long. Next
year It is planned to add another 350
feet, making the total length, of the
dock 700 feet. Material for the first
span has already been assembled and
the work will be rushed to completion.
Billie Goat Causes
Gall for the Police
Two policemen were required last
night to quell the excitement caused
by the fact that a goat's lanyard al
lowed him to extend his grazing range
across the sidewalk , near 790 East
Twenty-ninth street.
A dozen pedestrians paused In their
course to walk out in the street around
the stamping Billie, who stretched his
rope taut - and dared . those who ap
proached to step over.
Finally Mr. G. Church called the
department, and Captain Inskeep sent
Patrolmen Harms and Myers In a po
lice machine. The owner, Columbia
Spazlnanl. was notified to keep his goat
on home pastures. ,

Getting Benefits Of 1 rattlC;
Port Improvement Planned
Kennewick, Wash., pril 12. The
tranportation of freight by boat on
the Columbia and Snake rivers has
reached such a volume and has met j
with such success that present facul
ties are inadequate to handle the busi
ness. The boats of the Dalles Colum
bia line are filled to capacity each
trip. Conditions will be relieved when
the Port commission at Astoria com
pletes construction of two modern river
boats, 225 feet long, 30 feet wide with
a capacity of 650 tons eaclu. When
completed they will be put into serv
ice, plying between Astoria, Portland,
Kennewick and Iewiston.
Boats to Be Modern.
The boats will have all modern con
veniences ancf apparatus for handling
freight, such as cranes and electrical
appliances.
According to local business men
benefits to the fullest expectation have
been derived from the opening of the
rnlumbia river and the river traffic.
Local wholesale and distributing
houses have made rapid progress the
past year. Enabled by the advantageous-
freight rates they have invaded
and secured business in territory
where formerly they were unable to
reach.
As a result of the increasing river
business and the practical benefits
that have accrued to Kennewick from
it, the local port commission, consist
ing of M. H. Church, W. R. Weisel and
G. M. Annis. are preparing a compre
hensive plan of harbor Improvement.
To Make Improvements.
Paul P. Whltham, consulting civil
engineer of Seattle, has been employed
to make surveys and prepare the plans.
The present ck which was con
structed several years ago at a cost of
$7000 is considered one of the best
on the upper river. However, the
plans to be submitted will call for
the enlarging of the docks and the
erection of a large warehouse, to
handle the increasing traffic. Ac
cording to law a plan of improvement
covering a period of several years and
which will be carried out by units,
must be adopted by the voters of the
port district.
It is the plan of the port commis
sion to submit such a plan to the
voters at the fall election. Mr. Whit
ham is enthusiastic concerning the
splendid natural harbor which exists
here.
LONDON HOPES
VERDUN ATTACK
IS NEARLY OVER
f Continued From Pag-e One.)
German front for reorganization, their
effectiveness as attacking units having
been destroyed by the torrents of shell
and machine gun fire which swept
them every time they debouched from
their, trenches to make attack on the
French positions, every approach to
which was commanded by screened bat
teries of heavy guns. .
German reports of a mutual, trade
convention being signed with Rou
mania were taken with agrain of doubt
here. It was not believed probable
that the Roumanians would openly
cast their lot with Germany at this
time In view of the Russian strength
as at present apparent.
Kusslan Successes Important.'
It has been declared from a score
of sources that Field Marshal von
Hlndenburg, to hold his line on the
Dvinsk from Russian attacks, (has
been forced to bring up most of his
reserves.
The Russian successes against the
Turks, coupled ,with this showing in
the north, is considered here to be so
Impressive to Roumania that the prob
ability of the latter signing such a
convention as is claimed from Berlin
is but slight.
Reports of renewed German activity
before the allies' Salonikl lines were
considered here to be, at most, reports
of skirmishes along the advanced lines.
From every source testimony has
came that the British and French are
so strongly entrenched at Salonittl
that a very great army would be
needed to attack them with any hope
of success. It is almost a certainty
that at this time Germany, while
hammering a Verdun, has no such
body of troops at her disposal is
would make an Immediate, serious as
sault upon Salonikl even a possibility.
MIGHTY ATTEMPT OF
BRANDENBURGERS TO
ADVANCE IS DEFEATED
Paris, April 12. (I. N. S.) The
Germans and French were still locked
today in the titanic struggle between
Douaumont and Vaux. In spite of the
utmost efforts of four divisions, the
French line from the Meuse to Ava
court remains practically intact.
Today's communique tells of the
mighty attempt of a division of Brandenburg-era,
divided into four columns,
to advance. Aided by a' murderous ar
tillery fire and hundreds of Jets of
flaming liquid, the Germans attempted
to advance in four Separate places.
"One division,'" said the communique,
"assaulted the Caurette woods,-between
Cumleres and Lemorte Homme," over a
two mile front. The object of the first
column was to throw the French back
on Bras. A second column sought to
capture the Caillette woods and stop
the French advance there. A ithird
cfclumn sought to reoccupy Vaux,- and

no better remedy than Or. King's New

Athens, April 12. (I. N. &) It Is
said at the British and French lega

ATTEMPTS TO BRING
JUSTICE HUGHES INTO
POLITICS IS REGRETTED
Senator Works Protests the
Partisan Attempts to In
volve Supreme Court,
Washington, Aprjl 12. (I. N. S.)
Declamation against the use of Su
preme Court Justice Hughes' name as
a presidential candidate was made by
Senator Works, progressive Repub
lican of California, today from the
floor of the senate.
Asserting that both Hughes and the
people of the country should resent
the attempt to bring Hughes into poli
tics. Works said: "Partisan politics,
ruthless in Its demands, invades tho
most sacred precincts of the national
government. It is 4iow attempting to
Invade the supreme court by present
ing a member of that body with the
greatest temptation which can be of
fered to an American citizen to sur
render his place on the bench and be
come a candidate " for political office.
"This attempt to bring the highest
Judicial tribunal and a member of It
. lnto politics should be resented by the
member himself and the whole country.
"It Is of gravest Importance that this
tribunal should be separated absolutely
forever from politics, candidacy for

London. April 12. (I. N. S.) Rou-'
mania v has re-established commercial
relations with Germany and Austria,
aMArdtnr to a nieniftoant r.ntmi M.n
dispatch from Rome. The Giornale
d'ltalia. which is quoted as making this
statement, also states that Roumanian
commercial relations with Russia have
been suspended. i
In exchange. Roumanla will receive
German coal, machinery and other in-
dustrial products. The question of mu J
nltions for tire Roumania army is not
yet settled. Roumania has insufficient
supply of these, and until more is re
celved she will not intervene, al-1
though troop movements continue on
all the frontiers.
The news from Rome is borne out
by a statement from Berlin that the
German secretary for foreign affairs
and the Roumanian minister in Berlin
signed a convention on April ? to re
establish commercial relations between
the two countries.
In this connection, the Berlin dis
patch states, both governments specif-
ically declared their readiness to allow
free exportation of all surplus home
products except war material.
.....
Germany's compact with Roumania
for the free exportation from one
country to another of home products
adas anotner to tne long list or oer-
many's diplomatic victories in the near
east.
England for months past has been
making fervent efforts to prevent this ;
resumption of trade relations and to di
vert the Roumanian wheat crop away
from the depleted German granaries.
She has lost in this diplomatic game.
England tried to swing Greece into
an active alliance with the entente
powers. Greece complains that Eng
land blundered offensively. English
and German diplomats thronged Con
stantinople, but Turkey Ignored her
British friends and was won over by
the kaiser's special pleaders.
Bulgaria, It is freely said in Eng
land, might have been inexpensively
Induced to "come over," but the Ger

macy is felt powerfully in Persia and
has set up stumbling-blocks for the
