Hawley was Tuesday asked In a telegram sent by the Portland Chamber of Commerce to withdraw his opposition to tha bill be fore the house which wlU permit ves sels. Inward or outward bound, with full Portland, cargoes to pass Astoria without the necessity of a stop to fil a sworn copy of the ship's manifest. This bill has been passed by the sen ate, and is designed to eliminate what are sometimes serious delays to ship ping, occasioned by the provisions of a bill which is now a relic of the days when this section was divided into two customs dstricts, the Willamette and Columbia. Because of any cargo destined to or originating in the former Willamette district, necessarily passing through the Columbia district, which had its customs collector at Astoria, copies or me- manliest were required to oe filed with the collector, at Astoria. With the inclusion of all Oregon In one customs district, with headquarters in Portland, this former requirement is eliminated so far as any actual need for government purposes is concerned. It Is pointed out that because of tide conditions vessels stopping at Astoria to file the manifest on care-oes wfcollv for Portland frequently are delayed for hours. The continued requirement under the statutes that manifests must still bs filed at Astoria, it is pointed out, hurts commerce without resulting. In any goo4 to anyone.

The Chamber of Commerce, in na leiearam asamg tnat Representa tive Hawley withdraw his opposition, pointed out that the stonsaf of sels with Portland cargoes at Astoria does not in any manner benefit that city.
