V SEATTLE BOOSTER TALKS
, El F. Blaine, vice president of the
Seattle Chamber of Commerce,,, who
;--poke for Seattle, declared the board
hould assign ships to porta where com-
- ntltion now exists and match foreign
rats. He suggested five ships were
eded at Seattle to match the Cana-
In liners and five more to match the
anese, Pwhose ships he termed super
Ito the others. He read statistics to
. y what he termed was a large vol
. of commerce at Puget Sound com-
with that of the Columbia river.
Uking of the advantages of Seattle
'Portland, Blaine told the board
,-eattle has mora people, more lum
. tter wharves and -harbor and bet-
iage facilities, Puget Sound ports.

The San Francisco representative.
James A. Kmery. asked for a large pro
gram and for the assignment of shipping
board tonnage exclusively to the Pacific
Mall Steamship company.
R. B. Armstrong,, appearing for Los
Angeles, asked that allocation be -made
to all Pacific ports so far as available.
The hearing was concluded this after
noon. , -BLAINE
DEMANDS BOOZE
During his testimony Blaine said It
was impossible for American ships to
compete with foreign vessels unless booze
is permitted to be sold on American
ships.
"Passengers will not travel on ' ships
which have only soft drinks." prayer
books and hymnals in the saloons," said
Blaine.
"I am not a drinking man, but I would
not undertake a long voyage on the high
seas on a dry ship,": Blaine shuddered.
Blaine said 90 per cent of the passen
ger travel on ' Japanese and Canadian
lines originates in the United States and
"by rights should go through" Seattle on
American ships." . . ;
WAISTS MORE SHIPS
He added that both Jspanese and Ca
nadian lines are preparing to put new
ships in the Pacific service which will
be faster and finer than any American
ships. He described : the much keener
competition to American freight and pas
senger vessels in the Pacific which this
new service will gtv.i
Representatives- of all the Pacific
ports appeared before the shipping board
at today's hearing, each port urging its
claims for increased ship allocations and
trade routes under revisions of the Pa
cific service contemplated by the board.
Blaine described the Pacific Shipping
situation in term's of a big poker game
in which he said the United States can
not "get anywhere" by merely "calling"
Japan and Canada.
"We must raise them," Blaine insisted.
"We must have more ships at Seattle to
match the Japanese and Canadian serv
ice from the Northwest. If wo win in
the fight for Pacific commerce, we must
meet the foreign competition . at our
port." -,
Blaine presented, arguments as to Se
attle's 'commercial and port importance,
claiming it is the "most important port
of the Northwest." -
R. B. Armstrong and L. W. Luellen,
representing the Los Angeles Chamber
of Commerce, appealed for more ships
for that port as "the largest city on
the Paicfic coast." : Luellen said Los
Angeles Interests are prepared to buy
five shipping board vessels and estab
lish a new passenger and freight line.
James A. Emery, San Francisco cham
ber of commerce, said San Francisco is
recognized as "the primary gateway of
the Pacific," and should have more Bhip
allocations to develop its business.
TS
H. M.1 DOUGHERTY
(Continued From PM One)
that enjoyed by many of his predeces
sors. Dr. C. R-Sawyer. the Harding family
physician, who has been almost in con
stant attendance on Mr. Harding since
th nomination at Chicago, said today
he had just completed a thorough exami
nation of the president-elect and found
him to be in the best all-around physi
cal condition of his career.
TIBED FEELING COXE
The strain of the long campaign and
the period of wearying conferences at
Marion sent the presMent-elect on his
vacation a very tired man. On the ad
vice of friends and his physician, the
pres!dent-elect deliberately started out
to condition himself for the labors
ahead. Despite the masses of corre
spondence and the worries Of adjusting
his cabinet, he has managed to spend
every afternoon on the golf links or in
some other way.
The result of this month's exercise is
plainly seen. He is deeply tanned by
the sun. His step is more springy and
he appears more phyiscally fit to un
dertake any strenuous task.
Little, if any, progress was made by
Mr. Harding over the weekend In filling
the three places in his cabinet that
admittedly are still vacant. The president-elect
is "frankly In a quandary
over the naval portfolio" In particular.
He has counted so strongly on ' this
berth being filled by former Governor
Frank O. Lowden of Illinois that Low
den's refusal to be considered for any
office has left the whole- situation .up in
the air.
TfAMES MENTIONED
A number of names are under consid
eration John Hays Hammond probably
being foremost but nothing approach
ing a decision yet has been reached. The
same is true, -in somewhat less degree.
In the labor and commerce positions.
Herbert Hoover's status has not been
determined definitely," though it is con
sidered not unlikely that he will enter
the cabinet through the Commerce de
partment. A close political adviser of
the president-elect said today he con
sidered Hoover's , cabinet chances are
rirty-rifty."
The award of the labor portfolio has
developed Into a predicament of no
small dimensions. A number 'Of trades
union organizations are warring bitterly
for the place and are putting forth In
sistent claims that this man or that be
chosen. Considerable opposition has
grown up to the candidacy of James J.
Davis, a -former labor leader and now
head of the order of the Moose, who bag
been considered a strong contender.
CLAIMS PRESENTED
The claim has been put forward by
some labor leaders that Dayls' appoint
ment could not be considered a "labor
appointment" because Davis is no longer
active in the ranks. .
T. V. O'Connor, head of the longshore
men's union, and James Duncan, head of
the granite cutters, are two strong con
tenders for the j appointment against
whom there are no similar objections.
O'Connor returned to St. Augustine to
day for another conference with Mr.
Harding. j
The opinion was expressed today that
President-elect Harding might solve the
labor controversy by going outside the
trades unions ranks altogether to pick
his labor minister.

COOLIKE SAYS
By J. J. Rowlands
United Vtr-m 8Uf f Cormpondent
- Boston. Mass.. Feb. 21. U. PJ
Work Is the one biff thing needed to
restore prosperity. Vice President
elect Coolidge declared in an exclu
sive interview given the United Tress
today.
"We must work and smile," he said.
"The bottom of the depression has been
reached and we are on the road to prog
ress. No nation occupies such a favor
able position as the United States. We
must work, and take advantage of our
opportunities.
"We must learn to understand that we
cannot get wages we do not earn. We
must produce and our prosperity will
be In proportion to our earnestness In
producing. We can no longer live on
the artificial prosperity of the war.
"We speak of an era of prosperity,
but that prosperity cannot be brought
about by a mere change of administra
tion alone, but only with the help of the
people."
Coolidge is going to Washington strong
in the belief that the duty of the vice
president goes beyond the formal, fig
urehead limitations of his office. He
hopes that he can become an active and
vital force. r , '
"It is not for me to say what I shall
do," he remarked. "Presldent-etect
Harding has signified his intention of
Inviting me into his cabinet meetings. 1
am at his service and I shall strive, with
the good of the nation at heart, to help
him all I can."

OF SNOW; TEN DIE
(Con tinned From Pace One)
today, said K. L. Wells, weather man,
this morning, who suggested that by
Wednesday the old standby of rain would
again be handed out.
Low pressure which caused the stormy
conditions over the state Saturday and
Sunday, has moved rapidly inland, and
the high pressure, which closely followed,
is moving just as rapidly, so that the
fair weather will be of short duration.
While Portland was enjoying a taste of
spring weather, most all of Eastern
Oregon was digging itself out of the
heaviest snowfall of the season, and the
lower Willamette valley points were re
pairing flood damage from excessive
rains. Portland had 1.8 inches of rain
during the 24 hour period endfng at S
o'clock this morning, the precipitation in
creasing to 3 inches at Eureka. Cal.
HEAVY BLANKET OP SNOW
AT HOOD RIVER MELTING
Hood River, Or., Feb. 21. The whole
of this section is this morning undera
10 inch blanket of snow. Snow fell
throughout Sunday, and this morning
all communication, except by sled, is cut
off between the city and valley. Power
and telephone lines are also out of com
mission. Curiously enough, the only
communication with Portland this morn
ing was established by1 two Portland
bread, wagons, which arrived on their
daily trip but a few minutes behind
time. A sharp thaw has set In, and it is
expected that the roads will be open
before night.
THE DALLES HAS NEARLY

The Dalles, Feb. 21. Nearly a foot of

of the storm beginning here Sunday morn

The fall has been very heavy in the
southern part of the county and west
ward towards the mountains.
Bottle Explodes on
Man's Hip; Toter Is
Given Real Thriller
Startled by a pistol-like explosion and
the sound of tinkling glass the tide of
theatre goers surging from one of the
Broadway theatres about H o'clock Sun
day night was halted.
From the center of the crowd scurried
two men. From a "dog trot" they broke
into full run. The leading one of the
pair was leaving a trail of wet splotches
on the pavement as he ran.
Then from the center of the crowd
came a laugh. The tension was re
lieved and upon the man who laughed
was focused the gaze of several score
of wide-eyed people.
A gale of laughter followed. The cork
and neck of a broken bottle were being
held up as an exhibit.
Merely another home brew disaster.
Investigation disclosed that a bottle
containing "kick" had been "on the hip"
of the first man ; that constant- giggling
caused the explosion, which scared the
bottle toter.
Hiker Would Test
Oregon-Made Shoes
"I can walk from Portland to Bos
ton, Mass., and wear out only one pair
of Oregon-made shoes." declared F. E.
Weddle, who Is contemplating a foot

"It took a Boston man seven months and
11 pairs of eastern-made -shoes to walk

can be removed even if he has not vio
lated a -taw. directly. Attorney General
Palmer in a recent opinion to Welty
said Landis has violated no law.

"The organization is composed of all
the baseball clubs." said Welty. "The

With Los Angeles enjoying a boom

by the merchants, says William II. Craw
ford, manager of the department of in
dustries olS the Chamber of Commerce,
who returned from a two weeks' visit In
the southern state this morning.
Los Angeles and San Francisco are
fighting each other for business, accord
ing to Crawford, who said that the ac
tivities around the Bay City are more
of an artificial nature.
Advertising which the Montgomery
Ward plant of this city has been run
ning in California newspapers has drawn
much favorable atention to. Portland,
says Crawford, who. was busy with a
number of industrial prospects during
his visit in the south.
Los Angeles 'has suffered from the
publicity given the earthquakes which
occurred in that city recently and as a
result makes an effort to dlscredij the
climate of every other city on the. coast
at every, opportunity. The storm which
visited the Washington coast more than
three weeks ago was played up in the
Los Angeles newspapers as a hurricane
which devastated most of the region
adjacent to Portland and played havoc
with the city itself, said Crawford.
