Differ as to Policy.
While all the commissioners seem
agreed on the policy of providing as

there is a difference of opinion as to
, policy. Commissioners Holbrook and
a Muck are anxious to complete the Ira
provement of the St. Helen's road

On the othej hand. Commissioner
Holman wants to make this a matter
of secondary importance, carrying it

should first devotes- our feeder roads

Bankruptcy Law Is
For Honest Debtors
Edward J. Prasler was denied a dis
charge froth liability for his debts In
the district court Monday by Judge
Bean, who said that the bankruptcy
law under which Frailer had sought
relief had been designed for honest
debtors, and not for those wishing to
evade deDts tnat tney could pay.
Frailer had declared during the
hearing of the case before the referee
that a certain elusive W. J. Rogers, a
foster-brother, owned about half of
the property under the name of the
Frailer Real Estate & Holding com
pany of Eugene, and that, therefore.
that much could not be touched by
creoitoxs.
Because he could not produce the
mysterious relative nor conclusively
refute charges of forgery of that per
son's namefc he was not released from
liability to his creditors.
Boy's Father Denies
Giving Up Custody
J. C. Tomllnson, father of Stanley

of the boy to the juvenile court, "it
waa in accordance with my own wishes
that I had the boy placed at the borne
of his aunt, Mrs. Grant S. Clayton, of
Dillard. Or.." said the father today.
"The Juvenile court had merely stepped
In and befriended the boy and aided In
the prosecution of the man who had
been accused of mistreating him. In
his new home the boy "will be pleas
antly situated, and I will b able to
visit him occasionally."
Will Ormand is under sentence of
three months in the county Jail for
assaulting the boy.

SEATTLE IS PlAIIHIllG

Elevator 'Already Built to
-Have Big Annex; Condon
Times Gives Advice. ,y
Seattle baa recognised' the necessity
of preparing to handle grain by bulk
and with facilities already provided
and additional facilities assured, that
port will be In better position to bid
for the grain exporting business this
year than ever before.
Seattle's modem grain elevator has
a capacity of BPO.000 ' bushels but a
storage annex will be built immedi
ately thatwill Increase the capaclt
to 1,000.000 bushels. Bids for the con
struction of the additional unit will
be opened on March 14. the plans and
specifications having been already ap
proved -and signed by members of the
Seattle port commission.
The annex will consist of SO storage
bins 90 feet high with a combined ca
pacity of 600,000 bushels of grain.
Like the elevator the annex will be of
concrete construction.
Wheat growers of the Inland -empire
Jiave decided to adopt the bulk
handling system. t nearly every
whMi rrowlnr district last year ele
vators were built both by Individuals
and by groups of growers at shipping
points. It Is expected that still bigger
preparations to handle grain by bulk
will be made this year. At various re
cent meetings growers have gone on
record In favor of shipping their grain
to ports where adequate facilities have
been provided and have pointed
out that Portland must build a public
elevator and, provide ample- facilities
to handle grain by bulk for export.
Referring to Portland's need for a
public elevator the Condon Times, in
a recent Issue, said:
"Evidently the business people of
Portland have tumbled to the fact
that If they want to hold the major
paft Of the wheat exports they have
got, to build elevators. Seattle has
a huge structure for handling grain
in bulk and the sad sea waves down
at Astoria are singing the requiem
of the grain bag, and an elevator is
to be erected in the city at the mouth
of the Columbia.
"If Portland listens to what the
wild waves sayeth' she will have
enough elevator space ready to handle
