Electrical exposition in Portland in
1925, said. John Gratke, in address
ing members of the Chamber of
Commerce at their forum luncheon
noon today.
'Portland found itself as a result of
the Lewis & Clark exposition," said
Gratke. "In the Columbia river basin is
large part of the potential nydro-elec-
trie power of the nation and many un
developed resources of which the East
is entirely ignorant. Such an exposition
will bring the Easterner to the West and
will make him see and appreciate the
value of this power and these resources."
Industries have refused to, locate here
in the past because of a lack of cheap
power," declared Senator George W.-Joseph
in addressing the forum on what
the exposition would mean to Portland.
'This exposition should bring about a
development of these latent resources
which have the power to make Oregon
a center of wealth."
A resolution was introduced asking theN
Chamber of Commerce to indorse the ex
position. Assurance that such indorse
ment would be given was made by-
Charles Berg, chairman . of the forum.
Frank B. Irvine appealed to the members
for their support to the European relief
drive. '

By Harry L. Rogers
Washington, Dec. 27. (I. N. S.)
Draft deserters whose fears have
been lulled to rest by more than two
years of security from prosecution
are about to receive an unpleasant
surprise, for the names of 173,911
of them are shortly to be published
in their "home town" sections as
preliminary step to bringing them to
a speedy trial, the war department
announced today.
Publication of names in local news
papers is expected to aid materially in
apprehending offenders, as it is believed
that most persons knowing the where
abouts of a draft deserter will be only
too willing to volunteer the information,
Much aid is also anticipated from mem
bere of the American Legion, which has
consistently ' unred the department to
take action against draft delinquents.
The department announcement defines
"wilful deserters" as men who register
under the provisions of the selective
service law but neglected to report for
' military duty at the time and place spec
Ified. Under the law they are held to
have been inducted into service from the
date on which they were ordered to re
port and since they have never been dis
charged, are still under military juris
diction, and liable to trial by general
court martial for desertion.
indictment Dismissed
A grand jury indictment charging Iver
Silwanian with failing to register in the
draft was dismissed, this morning by
Federal Judge Bean at the Fequest of
United States Attorney Lester Hum
phreys. The department at Washington
has found Silwanian's questionnaire, the
court was told, and now finds. that he is
classed as a deserter instead of a draft
dodger.

called and the raid made. -Harara is
charged with manufacturing liquor, hav
ing liquor in his possession and with
having property in his possession de
signed for the manufacture of liquor.
. The "password" for a drink of moon
shine whiskey at the soft drink estab
lishment of Mike McChllch. 534 Washi

fingers, say internal revenue agents who
raided the place Saturday. They ar
rested McChilch after a customer had
been served and charged him with sell
ing intoxicating liquor. He was re
leased on $500 bail.

ficials. About 40 gallons of mash and
eight gallons of whiskey were found, but
