At a meeting of the Portland Taxpay
ers' Uommittee oi iuu tne nret step to
ward abolishing the Port of Portland
Commission was taken. The commis
sion was created several years ago by
the Oregon Legislature, and was given
power to create a twenty-five-foot chan
nel from Portland to the sea. Bonds
aggregating 1500,000 were issued, and
the Columbia and Willamette were im
proved so that a great portion of Oregon
and Washington reaped the benefit of
the improvements. The commission
lately has been spending money in mak
ing a new channel at Snag Island in the
Columbia at an outlay of a large sum,
while it is claimed the old channel could
be improved at a much less cost. Other
charges of needless expenditure of money
have been made, and now it is deter
mined to stop it. With this object in
view the committee will appeal to the
neit Legislature to abolish tne commis
sion. Awarded Highest

Secretary Carlisle has received from
Attorney-General Olney an opinion in
which he holds that the Chinese exclu
sion act and prior acts regarding the
Chinese permit Chinese laborers coming
or going to countries other than the
United states to pass in transit to the
country of destination through the
United States. This question was submit
ted to the Attorney-General some time
ago by Secretary Carlisle, for the reason
that it is alleged that a number ot Chi
namen while in transit stop off at points
in this country and thereby gain admis
sion in violation of tne law. Many Lhi
nese laborers, too, it is said, who land at
San Francisco from China, destined for
Cuba, return to this country by way of
Key West, Fla , or by points on the
Mexican border, holding certificates as
" merchants " fraudulently obtained. It
was to stop these avenues that the
Treasury Department consulted the At
torney-General, hoping that his opinion
would be that the taw could be so con
stiued as to prevent Chinese laborers
from passing through the United States.
The Attornev-Geueral has not been able
to gratify the department by carrying
