Fear that the covernment work at
the mouth of the Columbia river may
be brought to an unfortunate atop
fairly in the middle of the dredging:
and jetty building: aeaaon. because of
the congressional filibuster against
the rivers and harbors bill, roused the
ri$ectorn of the Chamber of Commerce
lijt night to a discussion of the sit
uation. It was pointed out that the fundj
now available In the hands of the gov
ernment engineers will keep the
dredger Chinook running only until
August J and the Jetty work only
until June IB.
A resolution was adopted, therefore,
urging the Oregon delegation to do
Us utmost either to break the fill
buster and get a vote on the harbors
bill or te provide temporary funds for
continuing the work until final ap
propriations are made.
At the instance of the Seattle
chamber, the directors adopted a reso
lution asking congreHg to influence
the federal government to use $8,000.
000 of the 135,000,000 appropriated for
the construction of the Alaska rail
road to build a line to develop the
Bering river coal fields. The main
line from He ward to the Yukon, esti
mated to cost 127.000,000, would open
up the Matanuska fields.
F. C. Harley of Astoria reported the
results of his efforts at Washington
to secure the. establishment of a naval
base at the mouth of the river and the
chsmber pledged its fullest support in
carrying on the campaign for national
defense.

We demand that the law be given a
fair trial, and that there be no amend
ment thereof except for tha purpose of
eliminating its abuse.
We commend such officials as are
honestly endeavoring to carry out the
expressed will of tba people, but we
earnestly contend that the execution

the social customs of centuries, backed
by enormous aggregations of capital.

Such a task cannot ba safely left to

be no uncertain leadership."

Last of Series of Three Luncheons
for Business Men Is Held at the
Chamber of Commerce.
There was held at the Chamber of
Commerce yesterday the last of a ser
ies of three luneheona for business
men, to explain the aims and methods
of the Oregon Social Hygiene society.
W. F. Woodward, presided Monday,
Adoiphe Wolfe, Tuesday, and E. B.
MacN'aughton yesterday.
Many business men, it was ex
plained, entirely misunderstood the
work. Among the speakers was Dr.
W. D. McNary, superintendent of the
Eastern Oregon State Hospital for the
insane. Dr. McNary stated that ac
cording to the moat conservative esti
mates, venereal diseases are costing
the state, in the care spent upon the
unfit, $00,000 a year. This estimate,
he saiaV does not include the money
spent in county and city Institutions
and does not include doctors' bills and
hospital fees, to say nothing of the
economic cost to the individual. He
stated that, while prevalent sex habits
among boys were not serious in them
selves, in many cases they lead to
practices which result in disease
therefore, the speaker concluded, the
state must provide proper sex instruc
tion for the young. Dr. Calvin S.
White also spoke, describing the work
of this society.
Among the guests were: Amadee
M. Smith, Dan J. Malarkey, A. Felden
heiitter, George Lawrence Jr., W. M.
Ladd, B. C. Ball, J. P. Rasmussen, R.
S. Howard and W. I. Fuller.
Mr. MacNaughton today emphasized
the attention and the money being
spent for care of our forests, live
stock and other products compared
with the money spent towards the con
servation of human life. Mr. Wolfe
emphasized the need for more ade
quate support from the state.
