Emphatically declaring that the merchant i marine act "was law and that there would; be no change In any provision uriti! tried out by experl- cnce, Senator Wesley I. Jones, father of the act Tuesday made hie first address in defense of the law, and especially section 28, which provides for differential rates favoring- Amer lean ships on all rail shipments des tined for foreign ports provided they are carried in American bottoms. Senator Jones address preceded ' a special hearing on section 28, which wa attended by representatives trtSm San ' anctsco, Portland. Seattle aa& Tacoma. i He declared at the conclusion of his ad 'dress that he vro(i to see American i shipping take' its 'rightful place on the seven seas and that he believed the mer rhant marine kct would accomplish this, He added that the bearing would not chance his opinion in. the least. LEGISLATION WEEDED "Retaliation confronts ul" on the part " of competitors for trade," said Senator Jones "and will continue to do so until we gfit legislation that, will protect and build up the merchant marine. During the war we furnished ships from the Pacific coast to transport troops, and Immediately our allies placed their own hips on the coast to build up their trade.". - j . . : Senator Jones denied he had anything to do with hjaeing section 28 in the bill. tie saia it was placed tnere on trie reo cmmendatlon of the shipping board and unanimously indorsed by the special committee and the committee as a whole. The speaker said the law was framed bo that the" shipping board was vested with enormous power, and section 28 would not : be- enforced where it would be detrimental to any section, or where there were insufficient American bottoms to carry freight. "I have been told that a foreign com """ pany will show preference for our own country's ships," said the speaker. "Well, If he does, we can take a good lesson from him. but I doubt i& anv'comnanv will disregard lower rates if it can get them. : ! Senator Jones urged shipper to wal; and give the new act a. chance to worl and that the new shipping board would) have a representative from every seo- non, any complaint would oe JUSUy carea for and no community would suffer by reason of any section of the law. Senator Jones' audience Included rep resentatives of all large foreign shipping lines operating out of Puget Sound and other coast cities. W. tt. Clark, Washington representa tive of the Pacific Steamship company, acted as., spokesman for the act at the hearing, and answered questions of coast shippers. : .....v..

'':. WARNERS BLAZE TRAIL FURTHER UP EARCH MOUNTAIN - i ' . -i. -- 1 ; j - ! ' Charles E. Warner and his two sons, Charles and Wilbur, have re turned from a week spent in further opening up the new Larch mountain trail by ascending by the northwest ridge from ; Bridal Veil and Angels Best. : i - ;v ' : ' f j This trail was started last spring by the Trails club .and a party headed by Warner worked all last week completing the now route. - ' Two new springs were made ready for use, one between Angels Rest and the east fork of Bridal Veil creek and the other at an elevation of about 300CTfeet oh the ! northwest ridge. The latter is said to be the best spring on the moun tain as the flow -of water is copious. The new trail has been well marked and biased and may be easily followed by persons who have had any experience in the woods. Several Trails club signs have been placed showing directions to various points. , Vlld i blackberries and huckleberries abound on the northwest ridge, i Bees have stored up great quantities of wild rtoney and there are many grouse and cuaiU The weather was dear for the trail makers last week and from their camp the lights of Portland and the mailer towns about were visible nearly every night. j Warner .visited the summit Saturday. The Trails club cabin has-been almost destroyed by vandals who have gone up mere and chopped off most of the roof and some of the big logs of the aide. With great quantities of wood In the tim ber surrounding the summit, there have been many climbers of the mountain who chose to tear to pieces the shelter cabin rather than walk a few feet for firewood. ! The United . States geological survey marker, the brass disk on the summit of the highest pinnacle, showing the height of the mountain, has also been stolen by ome' souvenir hunter. The new route to the summit is rec ommended by hikers, for while It is longer, there are many things that make it just - as Interesting as the route up from i Multnomah falls. ; - - Flirts With Death; ; ' Lands : in Law Court Claiming - that J.
