Boys' Clothing Shop, Third Floor UiMIS The QuALrrV Sto OP POrTJLAMD PORT IN GOOD CONDITION ARMY DISCRIMINATION AGAINST POR LAND ON CONTRAC SNOT SOUND aar ft Transports Can X.od M Cargoes and Calling Here "Would Hot Add to ' Government Expense. army their Rousing One Day Bargains SS 1406th FRIDAY SURPRISE SALES ! 1 Directors of the Chamber of Com tnerce yesterday voted unanimously to -carry on Portland's fight for a snare f the army contracts from which manufacturers of this city have been ' barred by the precedent that transports must take part of cargo from other Pacific ports. The government is now inquiring for bids on materials for Schofield Bar i, racks near Honolulu. Specifications for about 13,000 tons of cement. 5.000, 000 feet of lumber and sundry supplies Of Iron and steel and miscellaneous construction items, have been an nounced. It is specified, however, that delivery of these materials must be made either at Seattle or San Fran cisco. War department officials have . notified the chamber, through Senator Chamberlain, that transports cannot call here for partial cargoes and that Uncertainties of port conditions here" , had kept the department from includ ing this port In those where deliveries " would be accepted. Inasmuch as the freight charges to San Francisco or Puget sound would make shipment to those cities Impossible, the elimination of Portland means that producers here re not to have a chance at these con s' tracts. The 'chamber directors authorized the dispatch to Senator Chamberlain of other telegrams urging the war de apartment to consider Portland. Repre- - aentatlons will be made that Portland -- Stands ready to guarantee an equali ,. Station of all port conditions with s Other designated ports, so that abso lutely no financial reason could be - urged to keep transports from calling here. Representations also will be made - that Portland is capable of supplying full cargoes for at least five trans- .-.port sailings, so that ships would not ; "be required to make special trips into ' the river for a part cargo only. The war department heretofore has . rejected all overtures Portland has made to be allowed to participate In these contracts for Schofleld Barracks. .- Che impression here Is that the de . partment is not completely Informed as to Portland conditions and that the barriers would be removed If com plete information were presented. Legality of Bonds Voted, In Question Whether Wasoo County Gave Issue Le gal Majority Is Balsed With Be. spect to $360,000 for Highways. A suit was filed Wednesday In the -4 circuit court at The Dalles to test the validity of the $260,000 highway bond - Issue authorized by Wasco county at the general election in November. The question hinges on what constitutes a majority. Although the majority In favor 'of the bond Issue was about 100 the total 1 vote on the bonds fell below that on candidates for state offices. It is con tended by some that the majority in favor of the bonds should have been a majority of the highest number of -- votes cast in the election. The ques- tlon has never arisen before In road bond Issues for the reason that thev : have always been voted on at a special election when only one issue was pending. Section 11 of the ccunty bonding act) reads as follows: "If at any general or special election as provided for In this act a majority of the voters voting at such election " - shall vote In favor of issuing such bonds the county court shall enter an order In Its Journal declaring that fa.it y". and that order ehall be absolutely con- j, elusive as to the regularity of all pro .: ceedlngs In reference to the matter. The court is called upon to in terpret whether this means a majority of those voting on the bond Issue or not. 1406TK PBX9AT STTBPBXSX Men's 50c to $1.00 Caps Now on Sale at 29c Staple and novelty shapes.
