WITHDRAW!, OF WILLIAMS LIE VESSELS AX JSOl'SCED .. Withdrawal of the Williams Line - .steamship service from Portland and Columbia river ports was announced today, by the Oregon-Pacific company, local agents. ' ' The elimination of the Columbia and Willamette rivers Is said to be due to increased freight demands In the inter coastal trade, which makes it possi ble for the Williams nne to obtain full cargoes at other Pacific ports. With the Columbia river -stricken from the Williams schedule, ' other ' ports served - v ill benefit by a speeding' up Of sev 'eral days in schedule. ' Inasmuch as heavy bookings of Port land ' cargo have been moved in the past by the Williams line, the. an nouncement is not 'regarded by ship-; - Pitig men or port officials to indicate any slowing up in space demands lo cally, ; ' ."Three more Williams liners will re port before the schedule is closed.

Dec 27.Reciprocity between all states of the .United States and; the District of Columbia in the matter of ; automobile licenses - will . be sought in an amendment to be pro--posed to the pending agricultural bill. It was announced today by Representa tive Charles F. Curry, Republican,, of California. -" - . In the rush to complete considera tion of the bill In the house before the Christmas holidays, the proposal was allowed to go over, but Representative Curry stated that he will take . It up with members of the senate appropria tions sub-committee, that , will handle the measure. 1 He is hopeful v that he can interest them in- the . wisdom of the amendment " and -confident -that If the 'bill comes back to the. house "with the proposition , Included, the . house will- accept it- . ;- ' v Representative Curry's idea is that reciprocity can be - brought , about through an amendment to the- section spproprlating $29,300,000 for . state aid In road - censtrdetkm. "s The -proposed amendment would provide that no al lotment sbould be made from the fed eral road, fund to. any state .which; did not J v extend reciprocity Ih motor licenses to all other , states and . the District of Columbia. As all states have been getting millions of dollars from the national government for road construction, he, does not believe any of them would give up this aid by re fusing te grant reciprocity, i Success for Representative - Curry's plan would - be tot -great benefit - to motorists over the country who suffer from friction -existing between some states that refuse to honor one an other's licenses. fc --.;-..;f :-. k " ' TATJCOCTER X.ICETTSES' Vancouver, Wash., Dec 27,- The fol lowing marriage licenses f were Issued here Tuesday: Henry: Philpot, 21, and Melba Barrows, - 19, Bindon, Or. ; Charles P.
