T0LL6R0WS IN
2 MONTHS FOR
AUTO KILLINGS
Killed and Fatally Injured in the
Streets of Portland Number
as Many in July and August
as During Previous 6 Months.
The toll of automobile accidents
was as great in Portland in July and
August as in the previous six months
of the present year. The report of
the traffic bureau for August shows
that seven people died last month
from injuries received in collisions
and, added to the four killings in
July, the total for the two months
equals the 11 fatalities from January
to June inclusive.
The number of accidents, however.
and the Injuries, decreased in August.
Only 810 collisions were reported dur
ing the month, fewer than in any
month in the year except January end
February. The injury totals fll
from '
108 In July to 96 In August. .
CARELESSNESS INCREASES
A higher degree of carelessness, both
on the part of drivers and pedestrians,
is Indicated by the figures. Although
there were fewer accidents and fewer
injuries, the number of killings In com
parison with the number of collisions
was greater than In any 30 days in
a year. Of the 96 people injured. Just
half were pedestrians.
Of the 810 accidents. 522 were due to
carelessness, the police report says.
Failure to give right of way was re
sponsible for 182 collisions, cut corners
33, failure to signal 13, and Jaywalking
12. Eight accidents are coargd to
reckless driving, seven to defective
brakes, seven to skidding, and five
drivers were operating oa the wrong
side of the street at the . time of the
smashup.
ACCIDENTS ARE CLASSIFIED
Five hundred and eighty-seven acci
dents were between automobiles, 97 be
tween automobiles and streetcars, 4 be
tweea automobiles and- pedestrians, ii
with, bicycles,: 29 with motorcycle,-15
with wagons and two with coaster
wagons.
Police forecast a diminution of reck
lessness among motor operators during
September with the application of the
licensing drivers law. Careless pedes
trians, they say, can only be taught the
lesson of safety by reflecting on the
list of mutilated and dead.

Portland Grain
Exports Mark
Is Expected to
Smash Records
Conservative estimates of the ad
dition to the prestige of Portland
as a grain exporting port for the
cereal year 1920-21, as a result of
the Increased rail tariff and the
westward diversion of Montana
wheat. Indicate that Portland's share
will be close to135.000 tons. Figur
ing the present value of wheat, this
will add better than $12,000,000 to
the water shipments from this port.
To transport this additional grain
at leafit 25 of the modern steel car
riers will be required. This ton
nage is better by 30,000 tons than
that sent foreign out of Portland
during the first six months of the
last cereal year'.
With rail rates from Montana points to
the Atlantic seaboard at $18 a ton and
to the Pacific side at half that amount,
it is estimated that an additional 4,000,
000 bushels will pass through Portland.
From Havre to Minneapolis the rate is
45V4c per hundred against 45c to North
Pacific ports. Minneapolis uses large
quantities of Northwest wheat for grind
ing but the additional c will make some
difference to that city. Chicago has a
rate or sec and Atlantic seaboard 30c
Exclusive of Wnkt will come from
Montana the three Northwest states have
$4.00.000 bushels. Deducting 18.000.000
for seed and home consumption and
6.000.000 bushels for California. 40,000,000
bushels will be left for export.
Wheat exports will be greater this sea
son than since 1914. During the war
Europe was in need of flour. This sea
son the demand will be for raw product
which is greatly needed for stock.
Charters have been' slow and no great
movement is looked for until October.
The elevator at St. Johns will be in op
eration and the rapid handling- of steam
ships will be one of the big factors in
the handling of excessive quantities of
grain.
DR. BUTLER PAYS
Dr. Nicholas Murray
author, publicist, president
Butler,
of Co-
lumbla university and recent candi
date for the Republican nomination
as president of the United States, 1s
a Portland visitor at the Benson. Dr.
Butler, who Is accompanied by Mrs.
Butler, has been absorbing the sun
shine of California for two months
or more, has stopped in Portland to
get more sunshine and the breath of
roees. He leaves Saturday morning
for Everett, Wash., for a two weeks'
visit with a brother, resident there.
This is not the first time Dr. Butler
has been a Portland and an Oregon
visitor. He comes to the west coast once
each year, where the sunshine is cooler,
the air clearer, the flowers sweeter, to
visit, rest, play golf and swim until his
muscles are taut and his nerves In trim
to stand the strain of another winter in
little old New York, where he lives and
leads the young ideas of the Eastern
seaboard Into the paths of education and
enlightenment.
WEST Lt'RES HIM
Dr. Butler, though a politician as well
as a publicist and a power in the coun
cil rooms bf his party, as well as In the
class rooms of Columbia, turns his con
versation more readily to the beauties
of the west land than to the fortunes
and the misfortunes of political strife.
He would rather grow enthusiastic over
the beauties of the redwood forests of
Northern California, the flowers that
carpet the mountain glades through
which he had so recently Journeyed, the
views to be seen along the Siskiyou
highway soon to be open, the wonders
of Crater lake and his certainty that a
million tourists will travel the scenic
boulevards of Oregon and California as
soon as the last link Is completed than
to turn to things political.
He has been "hiding away." Dr. Butler
confides,' from the insistence of cam
paign managers that he unllmber the
guns of his oratory for the presidential
campaign.
He is more than a little doubtful about
the efficacy of political speech making
this early in a presidential campaign.
