JANUARY 23, 1820.- 13 OBJECT ON VO CED OVER PREFERENCE ill SHOWN ORIENTALS CHANGE IN FOREST POLICY ADVOCATED State Labor Commissioner Sends , ; Protest to Railroad Director in Behalf of Americans. . " Salem, Jan. 39. Objection to the practice of certain employment agencies in this state In giving pref erence to Chinese over whites, es pecially as cooks (or railroad con struction camps, is voiced by C. II. Gram, state labor commissioner. In ft letter directed to Walker D. Htnes, as director of the federal railroad administration. Copies of the letter have been sent to the American Legion posts at Salem and Portland, with a view to enlisting their support in an effort to correct the practice which is said to work a hard ship on ex-service men seeking employ ment at this time. Oram's complaint is based en the ac tion of M. C. Threlkelrl. San Francisco employment agent, with a branch office in Portland, who. Gram states, "has an inflexible rule, of his own adoption, that only Chinese cooks may be cm ployed In the camps where he Is Riven authority by virtue of his contract, to the exclusion of American citizens. "An agitation has arisen -over this policy from an Instance that occurred at a camp on the Southern Pacific line between Marshfleld and Eugene. A foreman newly placed In charge of a bridge gang, believing his authority ex tended to the kitchen of the camp, dis missed a Chinese cook and replaced htm with a cltlsen whose competency has never been questioned. In a very short period the foreman realised his mistake "when orders were received to dismiss , the citizen-cook and make way, not for the replacement of the one discharged, but for another Chinaman." E. M. Anderson, in charae of Thret- keld's agency In Portland, defends f Threlkelds policy in this respect. Oram States, and ascribes his preference for Chinese cooks to their creator denenda- ? Willy. ' "This," Oram writes. "Is a cross libel 'on the cooks f this state, and, I feel. ,Bot necessary of refutation in this con nection." '.. Oram reffardS it as "nartlrtil.rlv m. 'fortunate that an employer should pur- ,mum suen a course at this time with jmany ex-service men, willing and able, ,,-wno, unner tire, rouowed this vocation mnd now In va.cn time within the aphera of Mr. ThrelkeltTs infl ue.ncA am 'denied the opportunity for employment."

Coburn, County Clerk of Josephine County, Latest As pirant, Gives Platform. PORT COMMISSION TO SEEK FREIGHT TOR STEAMSHIP Ten-Day Option Sought in Cargo For European Service; H. A. Sargent Takes Oath. E. L. Coburn. county clerk of Jose phine county, Is the latest candidate to annouoce himself for the office of sec retary of state. He makes formal state ment that he is seeking the Republican nomination at the coming primary elec tion, and sets out his platform upon which he will make his appeal to the voters of the Ktate as follows : "1 am a native of Oregon, being; born at AKliland September 26. 188b. 1 have had a qualifying business experience and at the present time am county clerk of Josephine county, having been elected to thnt office for four successive terms. "I am a believer in a blaxer and a greater Oregon, and In the use of Ore gon products and feel that every effort In that direction should be encouraged. As a member of the board of control would do all in my power toward that end. GOOD ItOADS FATOflEB "I am an advocate of good roads and feel that a constructive road building plan Is not only a benefit to the rural communities, but that It would also be beneficial to the future welfare of our state. "I am a thorough believer In Irriga tion and think that the farmers of this state should have consistent encourage ment in matters pertaining to errlga tlon as well as other matters affecting them, "as they are one of the main fac tors and standbya In the development of any state. TO PROTECT FORESTS - "It seems to me that there should be a different national policy In the mat ter of forest protection in order that our vast forests be not devastated as they have been during the past and as an of ficer of the state I will do what I can to bring this about. "If elected to the office to which I aspire, I will give it my personal atten tion, and conduct It on a business basis and to the best of my ability." Holding in abeyance the plan of the Mann -Titus company x to have the Port of Portland commission guarantee sufficient cargo to estab lish a local connection for the Norr way-Paclfle steamship line, the com mission at a special session at noon today decided to request a 10-day option to secure 1500 tons of freight for April ealling. H. A. Sargent, elected at the recent session of the legislature to become a member of the commission In place of Drake C. O'Reilly, who resigned re cently, was sworn in. Work for two months was outlined at the meeting for the Port of Portland dredges Willamette and Tualatin. The Tualatin is to make a cut in front of the docks of the Portland Flouring mills and then proceed wifhln a few days to St. Johns to do some extensive and urjent work at that point. The Wil lamette will work on the O-W. dock cut, vhlcVi la tn H. nutte e.vtniiive. The commission refused to grant pr mission to the Marine Repair & Con struction company to extend launching ways 62 foet into the harbor on the ground such an extension would inter fere with the Irving dock and would also establish a precedent in permit ting harbor blocking projects. Oeorge Kelly was appointed to act In behalf of the port commission on the Joint committee which is considering re establlshment of the Lower Alblna ferry. An opinion was read to the commis sion, clearing up tffe befogged atmos phere In reference to the powers of the commission. The opinion said that the port still had all the powers It ever had except the power to bond Itself to 10 per cent without public approval. FIFTEEN HULLS SOLD of H. IS.

In addition to the steel earning-,' there is a belief based on reports from Washington that congress Is within a day or two of agreement on the railroad legislation. Forces have been at work in Washington silently but effectively. Big business realises that the railroad situation must be straightened out bar ; fore anything can be done to aet'the national house In order.

The development of any community is accelerated or slack ened by the prevailing modes of transportation and com munication. Bonds issued to build roads, therefore, bear an intimate relation to prosperity. Road bonds sponsored by productive western communities are supported by vast agricultural wealth. Furthermore, the margin of security is increased as the highway work advances. We unhesitatingly recommend the following road bonds as conservative securities affording complete exemption from federal income taxation: PRICE TO NAME OF ISSUE MATURITY YIELD Adams Co..
