An embargo on hay shipment from
California to Portland has become
necessary over the Great Northern
Pacific Steamship company, S?an Fran
Cisco & Portland Steamship and other
lfl'nes to facilitate the handling of
I higher grade merchandise.
tr The -freight situation between the
Columbia river and California potts li
becoming steadily worse, say freight
men and predictions are that It will
continue to do no.
The Parr-.Mct'ormlck Steamship
Company was forced lo refuse to re
ceive any more freight on Its Kan
Vranclaco dock last week owing to a
scarcity Of steamers. With lumber at
17.50 a thousand feet steam schooner
Owners have refused to allow their
Vessels to ukr northbound cargo
which pay them only about $(U0 Rt
tha top price. The vessels are aver
aging 1450 a day and better In straight
lumber trade, even coming north empty,
and the loss of a day loading and un
loading general cargo is not attractive.
.No' less than five steamers came north
light under this condition last week
When the San Francisco pders were
crowded with freight waiting to be
moved.
(The return of the steamer Rose
City and on June I the Great Northern
to the run will assist to the extent
ot about 1000 tons a week hut insuf

Offered. Payment of higher rate by

ADVANCE FORCES OF
G. 0. P. PREPARE FOR
NATIONAL GATHERING
Headquarters Are Opened and
Final Arrangements Start
ed for Chicago Convention,
CONTESTS WILL BE FEW
Because Primaries Have Practically
Eliminated Contests Committee
Will Permit Later Pilings.
Cfncago. May 8. tU. P) Advance
forces of the G. O. P. took Chicago to
day. The Coliseum, scene of the com
ing Republican national convention,
was turned over to the national com
mittee for the convention opening
June 7. Simultaneously the committee
opened headquarters at both the Coli
seum and the Congress hotel and be
gan final arrangements for the "big
show."
Preliminaries to the opening c.f thu
convention promise to be more routine
than usual because of the small num
ber of contests. The primary laws in
many Mates have practically elimi
nated contests.
The committee shortly will an
nounce when hearings on contests will
le conducted. Because of the small
number, contests may be filed up U
most to the opening of the convention
Ueretnfnra the committee has set a
date for closing the lists.
Chairman Utile and Secretary Rey
nolds of the national committee ex
pect to arrive in Chicago the i'irst of
next week, with their staff. Arrange
ments for seating the delegates is the
big problem they face.
Delegates entitled to vote in the con
vention number 987, while there are
6 more, 2 each from Hawaii, tht Philip

only by the consent of the convention.

Predictions Are Lacking.
New York, May 8. tl". I'.) tine
month from yesterday will come the
cheers, the blare of bands, the tumuli
of shouting', the scheming of 1 aders
heralding the opening of that (iiad
rennfal talkfest and votefest the na
tional conventions.
The Republican and Progressive con
claves will come to order on Wednes
day, June 7, in Chicago the former
at the Coliseum, the latter at tne Aud
itorium. A week later will come the
Democratic convention at St. Ixniis.
In the Republican and Progressive
camps not a leader is making any 30
day predictions as to what may hap
pen. The Progressives are practically
a unit for Roosevelt, but they are
standing pat awaiting developments
before making any admissions as to
their return to the Republican fold.
Hope to "Smoke Oat" Huglies.
The Republicans are hopeful of
"smoking out'' Justice Hughes when
the Oregon primaries of May 19 shall
have established a line on his strength.
His name will be before primary vot
ers in that tate, because of a court
ruling and despite the justice's own
protest. In the meantime 18 candi
dates, receptive or not, are looking con
scious when the presidential nomina
tion is mentioned In their presence
the 18 including: Hughes, Root, Roose
velt. Burton, Weeks, Cummins, Borah,
rd, Fairbanks, Estabrook. General
Dupont, General Leonard Wood, Gov
ernor Brumbaugh of Pennsylvania, ex-
Governor Hadley of Missouri. Governor '
Johnson of California, P. C. Knt.x, Sen
ator Sherman and Senator Harding.
Bitterness to Be "Lacking.
National Chairman Hilles expects to
call the sub-committee on arrange
ments for the national convention to
gether about June 3. This committee
will discuss permanent organiza Lion, as
will a meeting of the full national
committee, probably June 6. There
will be an utter absence of the bitter
ness and strife which marked tne pre
convention days of 1912.
But. judging from gossip of political
leaders, the convention itself will de
velop a first class, old time, free-for-all,
anybody's fight sort of a battle
of the ballots. The very fact that
there is an almost unprecedented num
ber of "those mentioned" for the nomi
nation indicates, the politicians here
say, considerable jockeying and prob
ably several ballots.
In all probability, all the Republican
convention will do on June 7 Is to
meet, organize and listen to the ODen-
ng 6peech of Nattonal Chairman
Hilles. Then adjournment will be taken
until Thursday, when Senator Harding
of Ohio, temporary chairman, w.ll de
liver his keynote speech.
Root Is Still in Ring.

busy here getting ready to open Root
headquarters next week. Hedge said
John W. Dwlght, former whip of the

the western end of the Root campaign

"This talk of Root not being a can

explaifring that Oregon stone probably
will not be used in the new postottlce
building. ,
"1 have constantly held out for the;
use of Oregon materials," writes Mr- j
Arthur, ' but the supervising architect ;
informs me that it is not the policy
of his office to favor local materials
in the construction of government 1
buildtngs. I quite agree with you
that we have plenty of stone quarries
in Oregon that could turn out proper :
kind of building stone, but the super
vising architect will not favor cur ma
terials, and It is. a foregone conclusion j
that the stone used will come from i
Indiana. '
"I recognize the injustice of this. !
both to the capital that is invested in i
Oregon and to stonecutters and all i
other laborers who reside there. I
"The attitude of the supervising
architect in this matter is not sub- ;
ject to review or change by congress,
and he, therefore, makes such specifi- I
cations as he deems best. It is not my 1
purpose to engage in any undue criti-
cism of any government official, but
it seems to me that in the construction
of buildijiRs in a given community,
local materials should be given a ptef-i
erence."

Feac Likely Before Winter.
The general feeling among admlnls
tration members lwas that peace with
out the fighting of another winter
campaign was possible, and even prob
able, but that tbe first move would be
a matter of months rather than weeks.
It was hoped that peace suggestions
might take definite form before snow
falls, but that depends on the success
of an allied offensive or on Germany's
backdown from its present position.
The Champagne -battle has demon
strated that the allies are seriously
i considering the relative costs and val

decided on, it is recognized that there
Is little probability of Great Britain

WITH UNDERSTANDING
hy Germany a few week, l.ter. It throw, an
Interesting light on tbe war enttnient In
Berlin.
By Carl V. Ackerman.
Berlin. April 12. (By mall)
Though there Is unquestionably a
strong atndereurrent of peace talk In
Berlin at present, officials resent the
Intimation carried In a recent Wash
ington news dispatch that Chancellor
von Bethmann-Holl weg had asked Am
bassador Gerard to cancel his vacation
i lans in order to transmit peace of
fers from Germany.
There Is a general feeling among all
classes in Germany that the war ought
to end by fall. S-nie persons declare
peace should be made by Novt mber.
The impression prevails here that all
le.lligerents would like to avoid an
other winter campaign.
GNrard Denies Peace Mentioned.'
Some knowledge of this feeling, it Is
believed here, reached Washington and
Inspired the latest peace story. Gerard
has denied that the chancellor men
tioned peace in the conference that
gave rise to the report and further
more has protested again to the state
department because some of his confi
dential messages have been made pub
Berlin correspondents kmV about
Gerard's conference with Chancellor
von Bethmann-Hollweg. They were
requested to able nothing about It !-e-cause
of the fear that wild rumors
would spread as to the purpose of ;he
meeting. But, since the state "leaked"
some information to the public, the
facts regarding the meeting are now
tassed by the censor.
Asked to Forego Taeatlon.
Several months ago Gerard asked for
leave of absence to return to the
nlted States to take part fn the coni
ng presidential campaign, lie was at
hat time a receptive candidate for the
Democratic nomination for governor of
New York. In Marih he received word
from Secretin's of State Lansing that
he could leave his post here. Later he
was asked hy the imperial chancellor
o forego his vacation. The reason
for the request Is nflt known, but the
ambassador declared the story circu
lated from Washington was not true.
This report, however, was .cabled to
ill the world and caused much 111 feei
ng here. 1'ntil Gerard made a satis
factory explanation it appeared that
he bad placed a false Interpretation on

cellor. Englishman States Terms.
