KIDNAPED TACOMA
BOY RETURNED TO
Tacoma, Wash., Oct. 22. (I. K.
S.) Worn and weary, 21 -months-
old Bobby Stags Is with hie mother
and great-grandmother here today
after five weeks of travel and tur
moil two trips acroas the continent
and life in many hptela and apart
ment houses. It was September 14

tropolis.
It was in a hotel room in Vancouver,
. C. that Bobby was restored to his
mother's arm a, after being brought back
from New York by two women said, to

paper, A few minutes after a telegram

per, saying the child waa in Vancouver

FALLACYINPORT BILL
(Coetinned Prom Pi re One)
HIS GRANDMOTHER
ACCUSED REALTY
BROKER REQUESTS
datlon of its scope and purpose a made
from time to time by Ita advocates.
if the DUblic will recall, the firat proD-
aganda regarding this bill was confined
almost exclusively to the development of
docks and terminals at Ouilda lake and
Mocka bottom, as very clearly aet forth
on the map filed at the city tiall and
puoiianea in tne press or Marcn zs, inzu,
and, on March 25, the following extract
from the account of the meeting at the
city hall :
FLAX IS OUTLINED
'The plan submitted to the ritv coun
cil yesterday by F. M. Warren, J. B.
K.err ana tr. c Knapp, representing the
Committee 'of 15. amongst other things,
ssys : The scheme Includes the construc
tion or piers, slips and industrial sites
on the west side of the river, served by
railroad trackage facilities, including
aepots tor inoound ana outbound freight.
The piers and slips on the west mainland
would not only be adequately served by
railroad raciiiues, but, in addition, would
offer berthing facilities for ships of
500 feet length each.' "
The discussion following this publi
cation has clearly demonstrated that
uie cost or tne completed protect
would exceed 140,000.000, and this cost
has not been denied by the advocates
of the measure when I have asked
them about it
STATEMENT PUBLISHED
By September 17 the criticism of thia
dock development plan had become so
pronounced that the Committee of
la published in the press a revised
Statement of the scope and purpose of
the bill, shifting their argument from
the neceaslty of dock development to
one of channel improvement.
from tnis statement one learns that
new equipment and work on the chan
nel from Portland to the sea would
consume about $5,000,000 of the pro
posed bond issue and take 12 years to
complete before a permanent 32x500-foot
cnaxinei wouia oe compietea ; tnat tne
cost of the land adjacent to Swan
island would not exceed S4.200.OOO, and
that Swan island. Guild's lake and
Mocks bottom would be filled from
opening the west channel and closing
tne) east channel, resulting only in
producing raw acreage.
it tne public misunderstood the ef
fect of the measure, it is because it
does not understand what the poilicy
of the commission will be.
HOME BULB DENIED
Regarding the much-discussed Ques
tion of home rule, the Committee of
la does not deny, of this measure
should pass, that the commissioners
would have the right to issue bonds
and to build docks and eonatruct ter
minal In accordance with the map
tiled by them, without the usual re
striction of the vote of only the people
affected. There can be no question but
that this is a denial of the right of
home rule. -
It has been pointed out that the leg
islature has authority to authorise the
present port commission to Ismjs bonds
for channel Improvement The commit
tee statea that it is fearful the delay
would retard the progress ef channel
work. They also say that In confer
ence with tne directors of the chamber,
held Immediately preceding their late
action, the chairman of the port com
mission made the following suggestion :
"That no steps would be taken towards
acquisition of lands until a measure
could be submitted to the legislature au
thorising the establishment of reclama
tion districts, etc."
CHAIRMAN BALKS
It will be noted that this statement
only says that the measure would be
submitted to the legislature. It does not
say that the Swan Island project would
be suspended until the legislature had
passed the measure and the full promise
would be fulfilled if it were simply sub
mitted but not passed. But it should be
publicly known that this proposition,
such as it is, was called forth by the
chairman of the por commission declin
ing to agree to the following request :
That the commission agree now not
to Issue any bonds for the purchase of
land or ita development or do any work
on closing the east channel and opening
tne west cnannei, witnoui submitting
the whole Swan Island project to a vote
ef the people of the port district"
This he declined to do. It was pointed
Vut that if this were dorte and the
measure passed. It would provide the
funds necessary for the channel improve
ment from Portland to the sea and
would leave the question' ef the Swan
Island project to be determined by the
people of the port district There does
not seem to be anything unreasonable
In thia proposition, if, as Is now claimed
by the Committee of IS in its report.- "it
haa been the practice of the oommis
atonera of the port Wfconsult the wishes
of those locally interested with respect
te such matters of policy." And when
they decline to accept this solution, they
decline to permit the people to enjoy the
rights of home rule.
The people, of the state should under
stand that the proposed bill is thor
oughly revolutionary In principle, in that
it deprives the people of the city of the
right to decide for themaelves the
amount ef benda that should be iaaued
against their property and the purpose
(or which it le to be expended.

Scottaburg Is the oldest town in the
county and the most Isolated. A great
volume of business Is conducted there,
because It is at tidewater and the ter

large sums of money in his store sale.
