Such lahds win be opened to homesteaders. including the natives Of ' ' tbe Islands and all other American citi . sens. Just as rapidly att the present leases expire.

Plantation people i are doing everything possible to Increase sugar production, and thelMnnplrathon is a patriotic one, Mr, Bradley declared toady. "Literal mountains of sugar are await Ing shipment to the states from Wand plantations, and as rapidly . as ships can r be secured shipment will be made.

One phase of the much discussed traf fic situation ln Portland Is to come be fore the city council tomorrow, when action is to be taken -on., a proposed ordinance giving thePubttc Safety com mission legal standing and providing it with a paid secretary. v .... This commission,, which was organized three years' ago; haa never been given authority - to do anything beyond - rec ommend to, the .mayor such , steps as in the Judgment-of 'the commission would enlarge the Safety, zone 4n the public streets, and its executive officer has worked Without compensation. '. In behalf Of the new 'ordinance, it is argued that by increasing the power of the commission a better enforcement of the traffic laws can be secured and a better system evolved for controlling the traffic situation from a safety first standpoint. It Is understood that there ie opposl tion to the proposed ordinance. Those opposed contend that the regulation of street traffic Is purely, a duty of the police department which, should be held responsible. This responsibility cannot be placed, It is. asserted. If there is an other organisation for the work. Outside these conflicting views the practical Working of , the existing ar rangement discloses that: there Is a, lack of cooperation between the police de partment and the safety commission and that satisfactory results are not being obtained is generally admitted BAGOT IS LEASED FLOUR MILL SITE Dock Commission Authorizes Use V of Acre of Land at St Johns Terminal for 50 Years. James E. Wood Is Dead in California Mrs. A. C. Jackson. 4 Weldler street, received word this week of the death of her father. James E. Wood, in Los Angeles, Cal. Mr. Wood waa 92 years old at the time of his death and had been a resident of the Pacific coast for more than half a century. The dock commission authorised a lease : for an acre - of land -at the St. Johns terminal On which to erect a 1000 barrel flouring mill, to R, Bagot, former manager of the, Globe Milling company, thla morning, - 1 Within a year -Mr. Bagot expect to have the mill in operation, securing ele vator and terminal service from the fa cilities being established by the com mission on the site." The lease as approved runs for 50 years, with a provision for reappraisal every five years. The rental to the commission will be $300 a year, which is at the rate of per cent on the ap praised Valuation. The milt site selected for the mill is near the 1,000.000 bushel grain elevator under construction by the dock commission. . . - The- industry planned by Mr. Bagot and his associates: la the first to be lo cated by the commission oh the area reserved for industrial purposes in con Junction With the new freight and grain terminal. In authorising the lease after sessions yesterday and today, the commission in dicated its general policy In the leasing of sites: i. A return of per cent on the land value as appraised every five years. 2. No lease to run more than 50 years. 3.' Notification of intention on the. part of lessees not to use the public elevator facilities to be immediate cause for a re appraisal of the land value and a reflx In nt th rpntal. i. All Industries hdf" foreign to the purposes of the freight'and grain term' inal to have equal opportunity in secur ing use of the commission's industrial sites. As originally drafted the Bagot lease included 4 tenure of 9f years and a re appraisal only once 1ft 10 years. The shortening of time In each Instance was due primarily to the protest ef Ben Sell Ing. amember of the dock commission, who Insisted that insufficient prelimin ary publicity had been given the general nolle? of the commission and Mr. Bagot s amplication. Mr. Selling ais6 . declared that the rental rate Is entirely too low. but ah argument presented by Dock Com missioner Burgard that the rental rate is of little consequence, that the chief community benefit is from the presence and operation of industry, was accepted by the commission.
