band of men to the Stewart mine who
compelled the hoisting engineer to low

Seattle, Wash., June 24. The dis
cussion by the port authorities of tho
Pacific coast, in conference here, to
establish a uniform port administration
with uniform charges, was continued
today. The noon recess was featured
by a luncheon given by the Seattle
commercial club in honor of the visitors.
A feature of yesterday's program was1
the reading of a paper from Robert
Dollar, the steamship man, in which he
advocated a free port, and pointed to
Mauila and Hongkong as examples of
success under this policy.
General II. M. Crittenden, cnairman
of the Seattle port commission, was
doubtful whether a uniform system of
charges in all ports would effect tne
producer and consumer.
John II. McCallunl, of the state
board of harbor commissioners, Califor
nia, was chosen president of the con
ference, and Hamiltou Higday, of Se
attle, secretary.
McCallum said he thought a publicly
owned and operated port was best m
a general wav. All the surplus linan
ccs, he said, should be turned back for
further development.
Alevander Bailie, of Bulfour, Guthrie
& to., advocated tho appointment of a
superintendent of the port of Seattle,
as a buffer between the merchants and
the port commission.
Robert Bridges, of the Senttle port
commission, declared the only way to
eradicate the baneful influence of the
privately owned docks, side by Bide
with public docks, was to enlarge the
public projects.
The development of public docks will
benefit the railroads, according to a
paper read by Halimton Higday, from
G. D. Hegardt, engineer of the Portland
dock commission, because it would in
crease commerce.
G. E. Gordon, Los Angeles harbor
commissioner, advocated a traffic de
partment in the port organization.

Owing to tho leaky aspect of the
skies today it is announced by King
Bing that the Coronation exercises for
the crowning of Ilor Majesty Queen
Anne VI may be held cither at the
Hotel Marion or at the Ryan building.
It all depends upon the weather tomor
row, however, and should it clear, the
exorcises will be held upon the court
house lawn as i originally planned.
Despite the rain though, they will bo

Every Salem citizen is prophesying
good weather for the Cherry fair re
gardless of the occassional showers and
the electrical floats for the illuminated
parade are nearly all completed. The
Artisans float, which won - the Grand
prize at the Portland Rose festival, ar
rived over the Oregon cloctric this
morning and will be seen in the Cherry
Fair parade. Also the Newsboys float
which won the prize for the most
unique float in the Rose show parade
arrived on the same car and was being
mounted on the trucks this rooming.
The Carnival' 'attractions are being
put up today and the decorators promise
to have the Ryan building finished by
tonight. The program of motorboat
races and other aquatic events is prac
tically complete and will be pulled off
rain or shine as no amount of rain will
damage the river for the boat races.
The ouly feature of the rose show. that
might be hurt by the rain is the motor
cycle races but as they are not sched
uled to start until Friday afternoon
there is plenty of time for the fair
grounds track to dry off and the pres
ent indications are that the rain will
even prove a benefit.
The weather men, official and other
wise, say that there must be good
weather but anyway the 1914 Cherry
Fair will be the biggest ever attempted
in this city and the best one. Stanley
Barton, now that he has his electrical
parade idea under way, is devoting his
time to the society circus and claims
to have signed up an aggregation of
equestrian stars that are unexcelled
under canvas today. His trapeze per
formers have performed before crowned
heads in various partB of the globe and
the other features of tho complete two
ring circus are all first class.
Entries" have begun to filter in for
tho numerous street sports and the
baby show will assume unusual propor
tions from the early interest manifested
by the mothers of the city. The eudgen
ics contest in that it is a fore-runner
to the big contest to be staged at the
state fair this fall is attracting numer
ous entries and Miss Margaret Wishart,
who has charge of the Eugeneics con
test has all the details arranged.'
It is not necessary to enter the babies
in the Eugeneics contest before the
date set for examination. The mothers
may bring their babies on Thursday
and Friday between the hours of 2 and
5 p. m., and will be presented with
score cards and the babies will be ex
amined by the phvsicians in charge.
