E. G. Bradley, Assistant to See
retary Lane, Sees' Bright Future
' for' Lands of Far North
Federal coal fields in Alaska and pub-
114 sugar lands In Hawaii hold wonder
i t ut pnpmlse for (he , Immediate future
and may be expected not only to solve
many war time problems but to be fac
tors In, the destinies of the far north
and""the Pacific islands, according- to
JtL a. Bradley, assistant secretary of the
Interior and close personal friend to
Secretary Franklin ; K. Lane, who is
pending today In Portland as a truest
s f C. 8. Jackson.
,' Mr. Bradley, for a number of years
; vies president of the Pacific Telephone
t Telegraph company, la well known on
the Pacific coast, where he has achieved
note as federal director of the war eav
tags campaign for the seven Pacific
(coast states. He is in Portland for a
' brief visit en route to Washington in re
sponse to a call that interfered with a
trio to Alaska, whose extensive govern

Just returned from the Hawaiian island!.
f where the" officials contemplated -the
homestead (ng- ef government .. sugar
: lands. 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. ' '
"The department proposes to home
stead these valuable lands in plots of 40
, and 50 acres, and. their intensive cultiva
tion win oAA murh to the susar Droduc-
tlOn f the Islands. 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. Ships
constitute our problem lit Alaska also,
for until the war emergency that de
. manda our vessels for other Work is over
we cannot expect the fattest flevIop
' ; went Of government coal fields with the
' attendant benefits. t
' x Vensels to Bring Coal
"For use In Alaska alone 1200 tons
"; of coal are shipped each week from the
' Xska creek mine. Emergency fleet ves
' sels .Will be used to brVng some of the
: coal Out as soon as tliey afe available.
At the. Fairbanks end of the federal
' , railroad are' great deposits of lignite
' that Will be tapped by the completed
road, which will be about 600 miles long.
I foresee a great belief It from these
. coal fields. Inasmuch a production costs
and enles prices will be minimised.?
"It Is not possible to forecast the date
ef completion of the 'Alaska railroad
i-work. There Is a minor labor problem
, to handle all the time and war-time ob
struction may Interfere with our plans
somewhat. With the exception of one
gap of ISO miles and another of IS
v miles, the road Is In" operation already.
Building operations afe being hastened
. from the Fairbanks and the Seward
Vends of the project and the distant gap
; will be bridged with tracks, we hope,
' Without delay." -.-f

showing the people of Oregon have made
and continue to make.
Mrs. Bauer Suicide

Mrs. Mary C. Bauer, aged M years, wife

She went into her bedroom some time

COUNCIL TO
CONSIDER
LEGALIZING PUBLIC
SAFETY COMMISSION
Better Enforcement; of Traffic
Laws Claimed in Favor of the
Proposed Ordinance. .
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.
