Enthusiastic over theresults of a trip
covering all "the leading stock growing
enters of the Northwest, General Man
ager O. M. Plummer of the Pacific In
ternational Livestock exposition re
turned this morning, bringing stimulat
ing reports from prominent etockmen
and bankers throughout Oregon. Idaho
and Washington,, ail of whom are keen
ly Interested inJthe project for the es
tabliahment at Portland of a $250,000
perntanent exposition center. Ail gave
him assurance of cordial support and co
operation.
"Every stockman and banker I talked
with, said Mr. Plummer, "was Quick to
see the advantage and development pos
sibilities 'of the proposed permanent ex
position building and. without exception,
they., were enthusiastic over the idea
when It was explained. Throughout
Eastern Washington the leading . stock
growing and financial interests were
eager for full details and voiced their
approval.- They are pleased at the re
cent action of the Washington legisla
ture in appropriating $10,000 to be
awarded in prizes to Washington exhib
itors at the Portland exposition and as
sured me' they .would have . many fine
exhibits.-
"Fred S. Stlmson of the HoUy wood
farm and K. A. Stuart of Carnation
milk fame, whose great stock farm in
the Snoqualmle valley I have- had the
pleasure of seeing, are in enthusiastic
accord with our 1 plans for a permanent
livestock exhibition center. Before leav
ing I had assurances from these two
breeders that each will take substantial
blocks of stock, and I think I can safely
say their investments in our exposition
stock will exceed those of any ether in
dividuals or group of individuals. Their
support and cooperation is a most im
portant factor, in our plan to bring the
whole Northwest into the project, with
Portland merely as the center of the
big development project."
Vice president E. O. Crawford of the
United -States National bank, in charge
of the "flying squadron" work of the
local : stock Belling drive now under way
to raise in Portland $125,000 to match,
dollar for dollar, the subscriptions for
an equal amount now assured from out
side points, presided at a luncheon con
ference at the Hotel Benson, today,
- where the initial "clean-up" of the big
stock selling drive was scheduled to be
made.
Only Legitimate
Fit Can Gain Him
Release From Jail
. If a board of police- censors finds
that John Davis, aged 20. can throw
a legitimate and acceptable fit be
fore next Wednesday that young
man will be released , from , the city
Jail. Falling in any , demonstration
of fit throwing powers he may at
tempt, Davis wilt be confined on a
vagrancy charge.
Davis was arrested Tuesday night
by Motorcycle Officers Gouldstone
and Scbad after repeated eorrtjsralrtts
from persona' to whom be had ap
pealed for money. He claimed to be
suffering from fits and sought alms
that would take him to his eastern
home. The police suspected a ruse.
ACTION THREATENED
AGAINST ORDINANCE
ON FOR-HIRE STANDS
Building Owners Object to Meas
ure Which Council Is Expected
to Pass at Next Meeting.
The Rhode Island legislature has asked
an immediate . ruling by the supreme
court on the constitutionality of the fed
eral prohibition . amendment.. . -
Court proceedings are threatened by
members of the Building Owners and
Managers association to set aside the
ordinance before the council granting
permits for specific stands on Portland
streets to . "for . hire", automobiles. The
council, postponed action on the ordi
nance until' next Wednesday to allow
time for minor amendments. It will un
doubtedly be passed at the next council
meeting.
. The association contends that the or
dlnance would discriminate against them
In. allowing the "for hire" cars to stand
in front of their buildings. That the
machines block traffic and doorways is
the claim of the building operators. In
support of their protest they assert that
theirs is the most highly improved and
heavily taxed property in the city.' The
building people maintain that "the coun
cil. without express provision of the
charter or a vote of the people has no
right - to give away merchandising or
franchise privileges on streets once dedi
cated to public uses."
Members of the council declare that
"for-hire" cars are a necessity, and that
the new ordinance gives the city more
authority to regulate the machines than
has previously been granted. The driv
er's license may be revoked if he does
not comply with proper regulation, com
mtssioners argue, and the ordinance pro
tects the property owners rather than
discriminates against them.
The ordinance is sound from a legal
standooint. City Attorney La Roche
states. Insofar as it does not Impair traf
fic, but under the law. the building
owners have a priority.
"It Is practically: certain that some
members of the association will go to
court." James J. Sayer. who represents
tti owners and managers, today as
serted.
HOUSER TO HEAD
PORT COMMISSION
Grain Exporter Is Elected Presi
dent of Board; Dredge Will
Dig Channel in Willamette.
Including 97 -western men of numerous
organizations. - '- i -
i Leaving Newnort : News Friday will
be 14 8. men of the Forty-eighth coast
artillery also coming by way of Port
land with 17 men. of Newport News cas
ual company 238.
These two troop - shipments are ine
first to have included any num
ber of either the. Forty-ninth or Forty
eighth artillery regiments, which arrived
in the United States only a short time
ago. It is not known what proportion
of these are Oregon men. ,
At an adjourned meeting of the Port of
Portland commission Tuesday afternoon.
Max Houser, grain exporter and official
of the government food administration.
was ; unaniroously elected president of
the body. Frank M. Warren of the
Warren Packing company was made
vice president and' J. D. Ken worthy of
Wadhams & Co., secretary. These are
all new members of the' commission.
Drake C O'Reilly, one of the old mem
bers, was retained as treasurer.
Owing to the fact that the new legis
lative act reorganising the port of Port
land commission does not become effect
ive unUi the first Monday in June, it
was the sense of the meeting that the
new officers should remain until that
time.
Dredge to Dig Csanael
In accord with the policy of .the com
mission; to aid in developing the harbor
to accommodate industries on the water
front and the shipping which comes to
the river, the commission agreed to let
the dredge Portland dig a channel in
front of the export dock of the Penin
aula Lumber company.' It is expected
that the dredge will be employed on
the work outside the harbor line about
three days. President F. C Knapp of
the lumber company made the request.
The company is now digging out a ba
sin behind its wharf with the expecta
tion of exporting lumber which for
merly went to outside points.
It was ' decided to prepare bids for
the dredging project In front of the
Albina dock. The liver bottom at that
point is composed of clay and boul
ders and past experience shows that
the equipment of the port dredges is
not adequate to handle this class of
work and that to do so might cause
heavy damage to the dredge. It la
expected that the Job will be let to pri
vate parties. There are some 18,000
cubic yards of material to be removed.
The improvement Is part of the pro
gram of the commission to make the
river channel 30 feet from line to line
In the central harbor area.
Private Interests Regarded
Legal opinion will be sought to deter
mine how close to the private property
line the commission port dredge may
go. It 1s the aim of the commission to
improve water frontage where the work
is deemed of an essential character to
I navigation and Industry.
Rebuilding of the hull or the dredge
Columbia was discussed. The present
hull is worn out and it was decided that
either a steel or a wood hull should be
built.
Commissioner Metschan was named
by President Houser to confer with
F. C. Knapp of the dock commission re
garding advertising advantages of the
port.
On the suggestion of General Super
intendent Doyle the entire dock com
mission will make a personal visit to the
harbor projects and inspect the port's
dredges.
