In this district there is no need for
extra guarding of the yards, while others
hold the view that there is, taking the
position that as the yards are virtually
government property, the government
-. should see that they are properly guard-
edj - tAs far as can bo learned, there have
been' no particularly untoward incidents
in the yards leading to the necessity of
- strengthening the guards.

state whether or not efforts are being

guards from among the military forces.
r One shipbuilder, holding the view that
, there is no need for extra guarding,
said : "We empfoy from two to three
watchmen all the time and by beina-
careful we believe there is no need of
additional guardlnsr. Wr are caxeful In

' First steps in river channel development
were commenced before the time of the
most of us here.
Frankly, the channel and bar then pre
sented insuperable obstacles to develop
ment. When -we say that. Portland has lost
shipping we must differentiate between
tramps and regular offshore lines.
At ue outbreak or tnewar au ports
lost tramps, we among others.
We have never gained In what other
ports have, to-wit. liners. The reason we
have never had liners is because we
never In the past had bar conditions
warranting he service. j
Harbor Eatraaee Gataed
This condition brought the campaign
for harbor entrance and channel Im
provement. It has 1ut been completed
and has given Portland and the Colum
bia river a harbor entrance equal to any.
The highest engineering authorities say
this Improvement Is permanent. We
never need again to speak of the Colum
bia river bar as a bar to shipping-.
Fortunately, we are now complete as a
basis for our future as a seaport, un
fortunately we were not in this complete
condition until the outbreak of the war
and since that time we nave bad no
chance to establish reaular lines.
Portland originally was . served by-tne
Hamburg-American and slightly by -the
Royal Mail. We relied on expansion of
this service. Personally. I had the as
surance of the Hamburg-American that
Portland would be made their Pacific
coast base. On the outbreak of the war,
thsse lines were withdrawn. Ports hav

tunate ; others were unfortunate, we

Mere Pay Relit Needed
We are under the necessity of Increas
ing the number of manufacturing con
cerns aa consumers and producers of
cargo. Seattle recognises the Importance
of manufactures and is constantly bid
ding for them. Their establishment Is
one of the great efforts of the Chamber
of Commerce.
We need a financing company and
the prospect for one is good but it has
been postponed by the apathy of our
own people. The enlarging of the
Kaola company was largely due to the
work of the Chamber of Commerce and
we have two more big manufacturing
enterprises on hand now.
What la the chamber doing as to
ships? As 1 have said, the Chamber
of Commerce can only be the mouth
piece of the sentiment of the comni J
nlty. Our shipping sentiment Is most
unsatisfactory. Some are not sure of
the necessity of bringing shipping to
Portland. Some are hystericsi. We
are inclined to disregard the advice
of traffic men and to seek one patent
medicine cure for shipping ills after
another. Influence is brought to die
tract the community from its logical
efforts to provide facilities locally.
Some men argue we should do our
shipping in a town 100 miles away. If
co, why not Seattle? The fact remains
that It is cheaper to bring ships to
the head of navigation, and to shorten
the rail nam as much as possible. Ham
burs'. Bremen. London. Liveraool. fur.
nlsh us proof of this assertion, and the
cnamoer or commerce win right to
provide r acuities for Portland, to bring
shipping to Portland and to do all in
our power to make of Portland a great

Because the number aad variety - ox

mild climate-are all conducive to honey
production as well aa fine flavor. Two
of the greatest bee enemies the wax
moth and ant are found In small num

the skin baa been broken by other
agents.

The December Atlantic
A striking feature of the December
Atlantic is the publication of an aw
then tic latter written by aa American
of German parentage to his brother, an
Americanised German. This letter, born
of social condition and written with
the passion of outraged feeling, calls on
all German-Americans to coopat tn
the definitive defeat of Germany. Andre
Cheradame continue his careful dis
cussion of the overshadowing import
ance of the Pan-German scheme. Dr.
William T. ' Porter give an interesting
account of his experiences at the front
while engaged in an Investigation of
the nature of "shock"" and In seeking
remedy therefor. Stanley Washburn,
the well-known correspondent of the
London Tune, appeals for sympathetic
consideration for unfortunate Rouma-
nla. and : Lieutenant Albert Kinross
gives a aivtd account of a U-boat ex
