Ban Francisco. May 29. (P. N. S.)
Close cooperation of shipowners of the
entire country with the work of the
federal shipping board and the national
defense council, was assured Monday
by action of all of the principal cham
bers of commerce of the Pacific coast.
This was the outcome of a conference
of delegates from all of the coast mar
itime cities, held here.
It was decided for tfle present not
to try to secure any change In the La
Follette seamen's law, although prac
tically all of the delegates were
against this law. except as to its llfe-
" saving provisions. O. C. Corbaley of
Seattle said:
"The United States must have more
ships, if we are to win this war. To
win the war and to have a merchant
marine worth mentioning at its close,
are the first vital principles for which
we must work. Everything else Is
subordinate. Everything else can wait.
and the La Follette law can wait."
XL Interests to Organize.
Another line of policy defined is to
call 'conferences of shipping men on
the lake ports, on the Atlantic coast
and on the gulf coast, and to form the
entire shipping interests into a com
pact body for helping the federal ship
ping board and the national council of
defense.
At the opening of the session, after
President Koster's remarks, a telegram
from John II. Rosseter was read. Ros
aeter, who is now In Washington, D.

mulate plans.

nne schools on both coasts, to provide

"I cannot see, for the life of me, whv
there should be any serious opposition
to your proposed roads bonds Issue of
$6,000,000; the arguments in favor of
hard surfacing are so conclusive and
the good results so apparent," said
Robert Newton Lynch, vice-president
and general manager of the San Fran
cisco Chamber of Commerce, who was
registered Monday at the Benson hotel.
"Wi voted our first 111.000.000 worth
of road bends in California with a good
deal of hesitation, but our second Is
sue of f 15.000,000 went through almost
unanimously. We found that the $18.
000,000 was the best Investment of pub
lic funds we had ever made.
Tselees to Sepea rrameats.
"It la useless for me to repeat the
stock: arguments In favor of good
roads, because they are so many and
so unanswerable; but the decreased
cost of hauling Is one which should be
emphasised. I was out over your Co
lumbia river highway, one of the finest
scenic roads in the world today, and It
seems to me vastly Important that the
state ehould have a system of roads
connecting up with that wonderful
highway. Good roads attract tourists.
Oregonians do not want to forget that.
"If Oregon does not vote this bond
Issue it will mark her as a back num
ber, while if she does the favorable
publicity, not to mention tourists,
which will flow from it, will be worth
more than the Investment"
High Grade Kos&s mesult.
Mr. Lynch said that in California
for the first $18,000,000 invested the
state really got roads which ordinarily
would have cost $25,000,000. The rail
roads gave special rates on material
and the state bought It In huge quan
tities and supplied It to the con
tractors, whose figures covered merely
the work. In this way substantial sav
ings were effected.
"A railroad man' of today who op
poses goodt roads Is mentally asfP
dent." Mr. Lynch said. "In Pennsyl
vania the railroads supported the good
roads movement and. while they cost
them traffic for a while, the Increased
tratflo which the roads eventually
brouxht, more than Justified their sup
port. d vantages Arm General.
"Farmer should not get the idea
that the roads benefit only automo
biles and least of all In Oregon,
where. I understand, the cost Is to be
taken care of by Increased auto license
fees for the reason that the advant
age, is mutual. Paved trunk roads
have a tendency to induce well con
structed laterals and once let your
farmer get to hauling his produce over
good roads and he is the hardest man
in the world to -convince that they are
not worth more than their cost. His
savings In time, expense and disposi
tion soon convince him of his error If
hevwas at first opposed to bond issues

A S you "peacefully crunch that golded-brown, buttefed-hot
slice of morning toast, think what a great invention toast
ing is anyway. Is there any flavor likeit (Cries of "No!? "No!")
We've added a new discovery to this fine old invention, to
produce the Lucky Strike cigarette. We went right back to the
toasting fork and the kitchen stove for the idea after five years
of experiment.

You see, we wanted to make a Burley cigarette. Because
we know that smokers were awfully fond of Burley and it
certainly is "blame good tobacco" 60 million pounds poured
out of those green, blue and red tins last year. That's enough
for 35 billion Burley cigarettes. i

But until we struck this toasting idea a Burley cigarette"
couldn't be made; flavor wouldn't hold. But nowl That
Burley flavor stays right with Lucky Strike the real Burley
