Improvements to Be Made
at Marion County Farm
In preparing for a general house
cleaning of the Marion County Poor
farm, the county cotirt yesterday lt
the contract for kalsomining, paint
ing and general renovation of the
premises of the poor farm to F. O.
Uartholomew of . Salem, for $189.75.
There were three other bids, Bort
& Keith, $215.50; F. H. Kaylor,
$325. and H. Brokener, $197.
. Surveys were made yesterday by
the city engineering department fdr
the proposed cutting out of t part
of the concrete sidewalk on tbe front
approach to the court house from the
west, and replacement by an auto
drive, so that, hereafter those who
have business at tbe court houee cati
drive right up to the door, so to
speak, park their ears on the side,
do their business and get aw by
the other street.
As it now stands, those who drive
down to. the court houe are com
pelled to park their cars on Hih
Xtreet, and then, in nine cases out M
ten, they will walk across the. lawn,
which is bad for the grass.
The ultimate consumer who has
to pay the price of bread is laughing

For Free fori. '
Editor Statesman:
The question i frequently asked:
"What is meant tv the term "free
port.' " would ask for space to
make a brief explanation.
In worlil commeiw on the sa the
free port takes much th same im
portant poHtlon its 'lie great transfer
points take in transcontinental rail
way traffic. The freo port is the
cross roads traa?fei point on the
long trails from everywhere to any
where. It required the experience
of hundreds of years and the Intro
duction of swiftly moving vessel! to
make clear the need of free interna
tional transfer points, .to show the
ntsolutely useless wa;f. of time and
the tremendous expense of handling
millions of tons of merchandise un
der the old condition..
The m veraent of ocean commerce
ha been surrounded by red tap?
and every sort of restriction. le-
Iplte the fart that orean lanes are
auM amaj uaie ut-t-ii ii'ii;, nine nal
been dene to facilitate the move
ment of traffic and reduco tbe over
head tost o? handling vessels. Quick
transfer and exchange of freight has
been th? iule in railroad circles, but
on the sea little has been doe to
guarantee tonnage i?nd quick move
ment of vtasels.
The free port does a number of
things which affect the movement of
vessels and the charge for charters.
Provision for the discharging and
loading of vessels with mixed cargo
Is provided, with no testiic'ins on
the part of customs officials or other
representatives of government. Fa
cHilies are provided for the re-exportation
of merchandliK' brought In
from any country in any class of
ship. No dutv Is collected, no red
tape is rtliowed to interfere with the
quick discharge and loading of a
vessel. Warehouses are provided
for the repacking of itoods, for "he
mixing of commodities where neces
sary for tire storage of goods until
market conditions warrant tbeir
shipment to the point of consunp
tlon. All this service is provided by
the port, either at nominal cost for
the service or entirely free to ship
pers and vessel owners. Wn.e the
work has been done most success
fully Abe port itself pays all the ex
pense' of deration through taxation.
At free portslike those maintain
ed before the war at Hamburg and
Bremen and the one still maintained
t Hong Kong, mer.lt.tnts were given
space or-sample and eonsignioent
stocks, hcr orders rouK be filled
quickly and with tbe largent possible
assortment to select from. Provision
was made for the ahinment of goods
without the exoense of recounting
and verifying the quantities of goods
shipped from storage warehouses.
And. all the time not a customs of
ficial was present to Interfere with
the movement of goods or vessels,
and not a tent in custom charges
was collected.
Two great nations have adopted
the free port Idea. Germany was
first, when the free state of Ham
burg established a free port on the
Elbe Great Britain took over Hong
Kong, an island in the China sea. as
a crown colony in 1841, and as com
merce was developed in tbe Orient
the need of ?. free port became ap
parent. Hence it was that tbe free
port of Hong Kong was established,
and by the year 1905 the British
parliament declared that Hong Konc
was the largest shlpnlng port in tbe

world. And, the commerce had grown
in Rpite of typhoons in hot weather
and the system of lightering which
had been taken oer with the ol'J
port.
The Hong Kong free port did a
wonderful world business during the
year 1914. the year the war broke
out. That year 17,300 vessels bear
ing 11,187,932 tons of cargo, entered
the port, and 20,704 vessels bearing
11,196,640 tons cleared. This com
merce came from every country In
the world, and practieallv every Itsm
of production and manufactures was
Included in the 1 1 t of commodities
handled. While the nonulation of
Hong Kong is. approximately 370,
000, the number of persons finding
employment ai the free onrt is esti
mated rt more than 25,000. The
trade represented by the transfer of
roods at the port Is more than. $250,
000.000 annually.
When the Germans established the
free port of Hamburg It was con
templated that goods would be
brought In from all parts of the
world in unfinished or raw form and
be manufactured wl'hln the port.
Factories wee established on a
small scsle but it was soon discov
ered that he real buflness of the
port was the transfer of merchand
ise, and that the factories would
need more room than was possible
along the banks of tbe river within
the free rt area. . The business
grew tremendously and more than
25.000 acres of land was comprised
in the nort area at the outbreak of
the war. In developing the oort land
was taken upon which 2 4,000 people
had built houses. When tbe war be
gan not less th-.n 24.000 men and
women were employed at the free
port, and Hamburg bad developed
intothe largest ship registry port In
tbe world. Steam ocean going ves
sels to the number of 676 claimed
Hamburg as their home port ani
sailing vessels to, the number of 485
likewise,, were owned tt Hamburg,
when the war broke out.
New trade lanes will be establish
ed after the war. The Panama canal
and Honolulu pre on tbe greatest
trade route of the coming century.
South America ran be served quickly
and cheaply through a free port on
the canal, and Australia and the
Orient should - be1 served through
Honolulu as a free port on the great
traffic route between New York and
China. With a shortage of ships the
business of the world can be quick
ened by the convenience of a free
port at Colon, ready for business
after the war, when a new system of
tariff regulations will likely be es
tablished by every country Involved
in the war.
The principal commerce of the Pa
cific coast. Including Oregon and
Washington, will continue to consist
of lumber and cereala. With a free
port at Colon, lumber can be dis
tributed to all ports of the world
quicker than can now be acjim
plished. and . the South American
field can be developed and well
served. Portland . must become a
great port and greatness can only
come through having ships and the
development of tonnage to load
them. The wider the range of mar
kets and the wider the demand for
commodities the more certain It Is
that ships from alj parts of the
world will come here. Direct con
